SONNET 21
Overall Notes
1521 – Henry’s reply to Luther – assertio septem sacramentorum [“The Defense of the Seven Sacraments”—Catholics believe in seven Sacraments, and Lutherans in two.]
’21 Mary Boleyn marries Carey (mistress to Henry now?)
3×7=21
Tyndale plans to transl. Bible into Engl.
’21 Anne B. returns from France to court
Erasmus thinks Henry’s court “a temple of the Muses”

SONNET 22
First use of word “heart” (3 times here)
’22 – [illegible] betrothal for Mary : Charles V
But Essex has hart insignia I believe
Mary Boleyn affair in early 20’s
Cath. 6 years older than Henry (Mary B. in ’22 – affair)
Lines 8-9: maybe this means he isn’t older except in aging fast if she should show signs of aging
