I’m meant to be writing about the Pontefract Articles but my cat is playing with a nerf bullet on the stairs and she is infinitely more interesting to watch than staring at my own notes

Some of the pilgrims did of course want to re-legitimize Mary, as the Pontefract Articles make clear. It should be emphasized, however, that this was not part of their oaths. We should also keep in mind that this was after the execution of Anne Boleyn for treason and the re-introduction of Mary into the king’s favour. Furthermore, these clauses of the Pontefract Articles were mainly a reaction against the 1536 Act of Succession (to which the pilgrims had not been sworn) rather than the 1534 Act of Succession (to which they had been sworn). This is evident by their bizarre concern that the king not bequeath the throne to Cromwell.
Oaths and the English Reformation, Jonathan Grey

Does anyone have access to this primary source I came across?
There’s a section of a ballad in an article I read that goes:
‘Much ill cometh of a small note
As Crum well set in a man's throat
That shall put many other to pain, God wote;
But when Crumwell is brought a-low
And we read out the Christ Cross Row
Of K L M then shall we have news’.
(You can find this section in the archives in a letter from Norfolk to Cromwell)
But a book also mentioning it says it’s part of a longer ballad adapted from ‘Christ’s cross row’.
I’m pretty sure the author got the extended version - based on his citations - from ‘the defeat of the pilgrimage of grace’ by bush and bownes. Unfortunately I don’t have access to this, and altho I’ve requested it from the library as it’ll be useful for my dissertation, I don’t think they’ll get it in time for the seminar i need it for!
So if anyone does have a copy of or access to that book and the pages relevant to this ballad, I’d be very thankful :)

What if I became the monster
The one who fell to choose
What If I became the Dawn Star
Be the evil that’s made to lose
So I’ll plummet from the heavens
Plucked wings on wishes made
Broken-halo thrust into me
For every debt I’ve paid
What If I became the devil
An evil they can blame
What If I became the last light
With whom will bear their shame
Did the sinner even know
What was virtue and what was sin
Before the action
Before the world had chance to begin
What If I became the monster
The serpent that offers choice
What If I gave you a tasting
Of a disobedient life that you could rejoice
Does the fool know that he’s foolish
Despite sleights from the wise
Though he’s never harmed nobody
Is he lesser in their eyes?
What If I become amorphous
More than mankind could behold
What if I become the savior
Of the departed and the old?
I would do it all again, oh, Promethean task
Give them fire give them fury free them from the ask
I would let them leave the guarden wherein their made to bask
I would give them freedom and remove their weighty mask
I have become the monster
From each choice i have incurred
I have become the monster
If only that it were

So I'm currently rewatching The Tudors Season 3 Episode 7 and the downfall of Cromwell is about to happen w/the arrival of Anne of Cleves. I can't decide if I feel sorry for Cromwell or not. It sucks that Henry executed him for such a stupid reason but at the same time he did help take down Anne Boleyn and framed her for adultery.

The new parliament was indeed used to unscramble the Boleyn inheritance, but this is not necessarily why it was called into existence. Some understanding of the queen's fall is vital to an understanding of the Pilgrimage [of Grace], even though the revolts flowed not from the coup against her, but from the parliament and convocation which met after her death.

Day 10 - Finding My Personal Reason for My Pilgrimage - MidDay: October 7
In March of this year, I was suddenly ill with a worsening chest pain over my heart. I was so debilitated I needed a handicap placard and was trying to figure out how to get a wheelchair to take me from my car to the cardiologist’s office, when things finally eased up a bit.
I had knew something had been going on for a while; I’d had signs of heart failure for over a year, but all normal tests.…
