On his return to England, he was sent for to court, pro bably In consequence of the character en Of him by his deceased patron, cardinal Bambridgef and became such a favourite with Henry VIII. That he appointed'him, as some say, secretary of state, which Mr. Lodge doubts; but it seems certain, that he either held that, or the office of pri vate secretary, or some confidential situation, under Henry, who employed him in affairs of high political importance. III 1515, he was sent to the court of Vienna, where the object of his embassy was to engage the emperor Maximi lian to dispossess the French king Francis I. Of the duchy of Milan, his royal master being alarmed'at the progress of the French arms in Italy. Pace succeeded in his nego ciation, so far as to persuade the emperor to undertake this expedition; and he also engaged some of the Swiss cantons to furnish him with troops; but the scheme was ultimately so unsuccessful that Maximilian was-obliged to make peace with France. Pace, however, profited so' much by his acquaintance with this emperor, as to acquire a very useful knowledge of his Character; and when he after wards oered to resign his crown in favour of Henry VIII. He was enabled to give his sovereign the best advice, and to assure him, that Maximilian hadb no other design, by this apparently hberal offer, than to obtain another subsidy', and that, in other respects, very little credit was due to his word. In this Opinion cardinal Wolsey, at home, seems to have concurred.
