California was first discovered in 1536, by Cortes, and was subsequently visited by numerous other adventurers as well as commissioned voyagers of the Spanish crown.

Naïf in the extreme, they become ludicrous in English. 'Ah, Luca, turn that Brutus out of my head, in order that I may take this last step wholly as a Christian man! To this narrative might be added the apology written by Lorenzino de' Medici, after the murder of his cousin Alessandro in 1536.
From 1536 therefore till 1538 the new gospel had made small progress in Ireland.

In his official duties at the university the Elector himself, anxiously concerned as he was for its progress, would have spared him as much as possible. For these he arranged, in 1536, an ample stipend.
Then vpon Monday, being the nineteenth of Iune, we went from that Port, and with such good and prosperous weather we sailed along the sea, in such sorte, that vpon the sixt of Iuly 1536 we came to the Porte of S. Malo, by the grace of God, to whom we pray, here ending our Nauigation, that of his infinite mercy he will grant vs his grace and fauour, and in the end bring vs to the place of euerlasting felicitie.
But it would appear that, in 1536 or 1537, he negotiated with the College to obtain a quasi-recognition on conditions which he afterwards describes as disgraceful to himself, and that this was granted to him.
