LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN. Written in the seventeenth century by Francis Plunkett, Cistercian monk. Contributed by Mrs. P. A. BOYAN. INTRODUCTION . Father Morris, S.J. , in his " Troubles of Our Catholic Forefathers (1st Series) , publishes the account of the trial and imprisonment of Francis Tregian, * from the contemporary MS. preserved at Oscott College, author unknown. In the same volume Father Morris prints a letter (original at Stonyhurst), dated April 26th, 1625 , written from Lisbon by Fr. Ignatius Stafford, S.J., to Fr. Forcer, S.J., at Madrid, describing the opening of the grave of Francis Tregian , and the finding of his body incorrupt and entire . About the year 1847, Mr. R. R. Madden , a Catholic writer, discovered accidentally in the church of St. Roch at Lisbon the sepulchral stone and epitaph of the illustrious Cornish confessor . In the Catalogue of the National Library in Madrid, he found mention made of a Life of Francis Tregian, by Fr. F. Plunquetus. Two days were spent ransacking the library for this work, without result, but a MS. copy of the book was discovered at the English College, Lisbon. Mr. Madden was allowed the use of , and published extracts therefrom in his it History of Penal Laws," 1847. 1923 , through the kind help of the Rector of the English College, In a further search was made in the National Archives and the National Libraryof Lisbon, but no such book was found. A printed copy, however , is preserved in the British Museum , which is believed to be unique, and is referred to in the D.N.B. under Francis Tregian," as " one of the rarest of printed books . The full title is : Heroum Speculum . De Vita D.D. Francisci Tregeon , cujus corpus septendecim post annos in æde D. Rochi integrum inventum est Edidit F. Franciscus Plunquetus Hibernus Ordinis S. Bernardi nepos ejus maternus . Olisipone , cum facultate . Ex officina Cræsbeeckiana. Anno 1655. It is a small 8vo . volume of 16 + 56 pp. The chief value of this Life of Tregian lies in the certainty of its authorship, and in the approbation accorded it by the ecclesiastical authorities. It is evident that Plunket received his knowledge direct from his mother, who was Tregian's daughter. The details of the trial and imprisonment are practically as given in the Oscott MS., but the accountof the relations of Francis Tregian with Elizabeth has not been published elsewhere, and is such as would preferably be handed down by word of mouth, at least during the lifetime of the Queen. There

are various historical inaccuracies , as one might expect from a writer living in a foreign country with few English books at his command ; but the accounts of the chivalrous reception given to the Confessor by King Philip, of his brief sojourn in Spain and Portugal, and of the miracles wrought at the shrine , are written in a more convincing style. is noteworthy that Fr. Stafford died at Lisbon in 1642 , and Fr. Forcer survived until 1655 ; both could acquaint Fr. Plunket with the circumstances of 1625 . The Oscott MS . is the relation of the trial and imprisonment of Francis Tregian rather than the story of his life, and no mention is made of his experiences at the Court. One passage, however (Troubles , p. 120) , points to his association with eminent personages, stating that shortly after his marriage (about 1570 ), he was upon causes of great importance enforced by the space of almost ten months suppliantly to follow the Lords of the Council. In the Hatfield Papers , Hist. MSS. Comm . , part 13 , p. 117, in a document headed " Fugitives from England, dated " after 1572, the name of Francis Trugien appears , in company with several well-known Catholics, and divers officers and soldiers , begging for Her Majesty's favour and pardon to return to England, and " desiring to spend their lives in Her Majesty's service and they will discover themselves upon Her Majesty's good acceptance of their dutiful affectionand zeal. This is the only record of Tregian's visit abroad . It may be that his sojourn among the English exiles conduced to his subsequent apostolic labours at the Court, and to his reception of B. Cuthbert Mayne. The Church of St. Roch , Lisbon, is now used by a confraternity, and the Tregian tomb remains unharmed. The MS. copy of Plunket's book, beautifully written , but with no indication of date or scribe , is still preserved at the English College. Until recently, the volume in the British Museum was bound between four tracts, relating to the work of the Society of Jesus among the Chinese, Japanese, and Mongolians . Since this transcription has been undertaken it has been rebound separately; press number C 53

LUSITANIE REGI JOANNI IV Serenissimo Lusitaniæ regi Joanni IV. Augustos quod affectat oculos , regales quod delibat plantas opusculum hoc, Rex serenissime , nemo de audacia me crimina-

bitur, immo prudentiæ vertet consilium ; non enim poterat aut altius, aut gratius arrogare patrocinium ; non altius, quia principis;

non gratius , quia Joannis ; e cujus bono nominis auspicio eas desumit vires, id occupat fiduciæ, ut quod desideret ab authoris calamo, hoc comparet a Mæcenatis umbra . Tregeonense speculum vestræ ambit tutelam Majestatis , ut cujus divinas virtutes assiduo æmulatur, orbi repræsentet universo ; quas sub nominis vestri splendore radiantes nulla Hæreticæ noctis nebula contaminet . Temperet igitur vestræ majestatis severum pondus benigna Joannis nominis gratia , eamque sedulo his impendet literulis, ut sub vestro nomine, ac omine per orbem excurrant inoffenso pede. Frater Franciscus Plunquetus , Ordinis S. Bernardi . To HIS MOST SERENE HIGHNESS JOHN , KING OF PORTUGAL . Your Serene Highness . This little work is brought to your august attention, it is laid at your royal feet. Herein let no man reproach me that I am rash . Rather shall be commended for prudence ; for I no patronage could have sought more sublime , more full of grace. None more sublime , because it is my Prince's ; none more full of grace, because his name is John. From the good omen of that name derives it a force and gathers confidence , so that what is lacking in the author's pen is fully compensated in the Patron's favour. The Mirror of Tregian seeks the protection of Your Majesty, that it may show forth to the whole world the sublime virtues whereof it is so faithful a reflection, and that in the radiance of your name it may fear no dimming from the dark night of heresy . Let then the kindly grace of the name John temper the severe gravity of kingship, and shed such favour on this treatise that under your name and auspices it may prosper on its travels through the world . Brother Francis Plunket, of the Order of St. Bernard.

revocare valerent . Mirum profecto est considerare quot quamque variis modis errantium pedes in rectum tramitem traducit, afflictos erigit, fideles confirmat . Et quia ex ineffabili suo desiderio omnes æternæ salutis participes facere cupit quotidiana edit miracula ; inter quæ singulare hoc idque admiratione dignum in suo famulo Francisco Tregeone præstitit, cujus admirabilem vitam, post innumerabiles labores incredibilesque pecuniarum expensas , en tibi, lector, propono contemplandam, vitam quidem quæ vel ipsas hæreses, hæreticosque , quorum immanitate multa eaque crudelia patienter tulit , funditus everteret , radicitusque extirparet, et quæ omnium hominum generi, qui eius vestigiis cupiant inhærere, norma uti , ac exemplar virtutum jure optimo inserviat. Primo itaque si divitias nobilitatemque spectes , quibus ipse merito cohonestatus erat , animadverte paulisper quam probe tenerum suæ ætatis florem in omni virtute ac doctrina transegit , quam inter optimum quemque nobilissimum in aula regia opes consumpsit, quam urbaniter se gessit, ut omnium facile conciliaret benevolentiam, quamque invicti instar cujusdam bellatoris inanessuorum inimicorum impetus repulit : ignavia esse putans aut eorum immanitati, aut ulli earum , quæ se opponerent, miseriæ succumbere; ab omni præterea simulationis vitio abhorruit, libenterque vitam propriam pro fide bonoque patriæ profundere non dubitabat. Si uxori adstringeris , vide quam charam sibi habuit sui thalami consortem: quanto amore liberos totamque familiam est prosecutus; quam vigil, quam sollicitus ad eorum animas e fauce Dæmonum vendicandas. Præterea quantus erat ille amor ac reverentia qua conjugi moremgerebat cum si vel tota Anglia suæ ditioni subjiceretur, noluerit tamen castissimos nuptiarum thalamos commaculare ; hac scilicet in re totum studium diligentiamque collocavit; quo tandem modo divinam majestatem digne ac pie coleret, familiæque et necessariis , quibus indigerent , provide suppeditaret . Si pius religiosusque sis , quem, obsecro , inter ccelites relatum invenies qui damnis premeretur gravioribus , si annos viginti supra septem, quos in carcere misere consumpsit, diligenti consideratione excutias. Quid enim referam amissam rem eamque copiosissimam, combustas opes, divitiasque exhaustas ? Quid intolerabilem dolorem, quo graviter erat afflictus ex matris, uxoris, liberorum , universæque denique familiæ calamitatibus et miseriis ? Quid pericula, quæ sæpe numero imminebant capiti ex variis diversisque dolis in vitam ipsius structis? Quid famem qua acriter angebatur ? Quid innumeras ac pene barbaras immanitates ac injurias sibimet ipsi petulanter illatas ? Quæ quidem singula instar alterius Jobi æquo animo pertulit ; neque minime pudicitiam suam aut parum inficere, et si mortem sine mora subiret , interdum voluit : virtutes ejus charitas , patientia,, animi submissio, ac corporis castigationes admirabiles extiterunt. Si hæreticus, animadverte tandem quam a Deo erat dilectus , cum eum vel ex ipsis ensibus inimicorum, qui ejus necem moliebantur, mirifice eripuerit, cum post multos labores innumerasque calamitates et miserias constanter exantlatas , terrena beneficia

in eum abunde contulerit, cum corpus intactum et incorruptum,

elapsis jam pene quinquaginta annis, huc usque custodierit , ejusque

demum solius patrocinio varia eaque admiranda ediderit miracula, cum denique injuriarum suarum ultor illum de Elizabetha Angliæ Regina , Mariscallo, Judice Pophanio, Vicecomite Grinfeldo , pro nece in eum patrata probe vindicarit. Reginam exitus miserabilis excepit , fluente enim paulo ante mortem triginta dierum spatio ex partibus corporis secretioribus tam fædissima putredine ut nemo præ fetore in cubiculo , quo misera jaceret, potuerit consistere; Deo maledicenssanctumque illud nomen iterum atque iterum impie detestans ex hac vita summo cum dolore migravit, nulla relicta prole quæ Angliæ rempublicam administraret . Mariscallus usque adeo ad intima a pediculis mordebatur ut paucis post diebus miseram et infelicem animam exhalarit. Nec Judex quoque Pophamus exitu feliciore discessit; a foedissimo ac teterrimo morbo repente sublatus post latamin dominum Franciscum Tregeonem ejusque famulos et Corborthmanum ejus sacrificum presbyterum, truculentam sententiam. Quid vero de Grinfeldo factum ? Exiguo quidem tempore maximo in honore habitus possessionem copiosissimam occupavit , donec ob depravatos mores enormiaque facinora ex Anglia relegatur, nunquam ad patriam sine capitis periculo in posterum remeaturus. Neque hic frena suæ iræ imposuit omnipotens, sed acrius se ad universam eorum perniciem accinxit, qui Domini Francisci liberos male ac inhumaniter mactaverunt ; qui quidem miseri quotidianis fere precibus lacrymisque Carolum primum regem Angliæ flectere contendentes, ut aliquid sibi auxilii ex paterna sua re cum lege , tum natura jubente præberetur; cum tamen oblata remiserint octo millia supra sexaginta librarum Anglicanarum Regi, ut adirent paternam hæreditatem ; hanc pecuniam retinuit Rex , nec hæreditatem usque modo restituere voluit , Comitibusque Portlandi et Straffordi magna eaque quam plurima munera donabantur, ut si qui in eos invidiose inveherentur , eorum a partestarent suorumque inimicorum impetus publice reprimerent . Hisque tandem modis paternas iterum recuperarunt facultates ; nec jam elapso trium dierum spatio, iisdem iterum spoliantur inferente senatu majorem esse rem quæ a Papistis deceret possideri, præsertim si vicinitas quæ Hispaniæ conjuncta est, portuumque idoneæ opportunitates considerentur, adeo ut tertia solum pars copiosissimæ ejus rei divitiarumque amplissimarum illis exhiberetur, quam quidem utpote exiguam cum rejicerent cum ad suum tum posterorum suorum interitum ac ruinam universis hunc usque diem facultatibus destituti relinquuntur. Hinc tibi licet inspicere, lector humanissime, quam acriter in se, tum idem Rex, tum supra relati comites justam Dei ac inevitabilem excitarunt iracundiam ; morte enim paulo post repentina periit Portlandi Comes , alter vero capite damnatus miseram confecit vitam.

steps .

First, if you have regard for rank and riches , wherewith he was duly blessed, consider awhile how blamelessly he passed his early years , intent only on the pursuit of learning and virtue : how amid the nobles at the Queen's court he spent his wealth: how courteously he bore himself, winning all hearts : how, like a doughty warrior, he withstood the assaults of his enemies, deeming it cowardice to yield either to brute force or misfortune. Moreover , he hated all deceit, and hesitated not to expose his life for Faith and fatherland. If you are a married man , see how dear his consort was to him, what love he lavished upon his children and upon all his household , how watchful , how zealous he was to save their souls from the jaws of Satan .

How deeply, indeed , he loved and reverenced his spouse he proved, when , with the kingdom of England at his feet, he preferred rather to be faithful to his marriage vows . This, in fine, was his one and only concern , to serve God worthily and piously, and duly to provide for his family and dependents .

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

you are a devout Catholic, whom, pray, will you find to have suffered more grievously, if you weigh those twenty -seven years and longer that he passed in prison ? What need to mention the forfeiture of his immense property, the loss of all his wealth, his unspeakable grief in the sufferings of his mother, wife, children, of his whole household ? And worse, the perils that constantly menaced his life from every side, the innumerable and well- nigh barbarous cruelties and wrongs inflicted on him, the hunger that racked him, he bore all with the calmness of another Job . Never once, though instant death threatened him, would he sully his chastity . Admirable, too, his other virtues, charity, patience , and self-denial. you are a heretic, take note how beloved he was of God, Who delivered him so wondrouslyfrom the sword of the foes that threatened him with death: Who, after he had endured with constancy , sufferings and calamities and griefs innumerable, bestowed upon him earthly goods in abundance : Who now for nearly fifty years has preserved his body whole and incorrupt, and by his patronage has wrought divers and wondrous miracles ; Who finally has exacted penalty for his wrongs from Elizabeth, Queen of England, the Marshall, Justice Popham , and

Sheriff Grenville. The Queen met a miserable end : for thirty days before her death, so foul a corruption exuded from her body, that for the stenchthereof, none could stay in the room where the wretched creature lay. Cursing God, and blaspheming that holy name again and again , she passed away in the utmost agony, leaving no issue to carry on the government of England. The Marshall was so devoured by vermin, even to his intestines, that in a few days he gave up his wretched and unhappy soul. Nor did Justice Popham meet with a happierfate, but after passing sentence on Master Francis Tregian and his servants , and Cuthbert Mayne, his sacrificing priest, he was suddenly carried off by a most foul and loathsome disease . But what of Grenville ? * For a while, indeed , he enjoyed great honours and wealth, until for his depraved morals and enormous crimes , he was banished from the realm of England and forbidden to return on penalty of death. Nor did the Almighty curb His wrath even here, but He girded Himself to bring the total destruction of all those who were cruel and unjust to the children of Master Francis. With almost daily prayers and tears these besought King Charles of England to grant some share of the patrimony that was due to them, both by the civil and the natural law. Moreover , they sent the King eight thousand and sixty English pounds to be permitted to enter on their estate . This money the King retained, nevertheless , he still would not restore them their property. Large sums were also given to Lords Portland and Strafford

to champion their cause. By these means at length they recovered their paternal inheritance, but after three days they were again disinherited by Parliament on the plea that the property was too extensive to be held by Papists , especially in view of the proximity of Spain, and the convenience of the ports. A third of their rich patrimony was accordingly offered them.

Plunket has evidently confused Sir Richard Grenville , Sheriff in 1577; who died in the " Revenge " 1591, with Sir Richard Grenville b. 1600, General of the West during the Civil War, disgraced and imprisoned 1646, escaped and fled abroad, died in great want at Ghent in 1658.

In almost every age , Christian Reader , you will encounter divers and numerous heretics and heresies. These heretics , falling away from God's Faith, disturb the peace of His Churchand pursue her most loyal children with a malignant hatred. Such monsters God suffers both for our own profit and His greater glory and honour: and never does He fail to provide His followers with leaders of sound morals and eminent piety to repel their insistent assaults , and to bring back the heretics themselves to embrace the teachings of the true Faith. Wonderful indeed are the manifold ways in which God recalls the erring to the right path, consoles the afflicted, and comforts the faithful. And because of His loving desire for the eternal salvation of all, daily does He work miracles . Singular among these , and worthy of all admiration, are the marvels He has wrought on His servant, Francis Tregian, whose admirable life , innumerable trials , and incredible losses here offer, Reader , for your consideration. It is a life indeed , calculated to overthrow and extirpate those very heresies and heretics from whose cruelty he suffered so many wrongs , and at the same time, to serve as a standard and pattern of virtue to all who are willing to follow in His steps . First, if you have regard for rank and riches , wherewith he was duly blessed, consider awhile how blamelessly he passed his early years , intent only on the pursuit of learning and virtue : how amid the nobles at the Queen's court he spent his wealth: how courteously he bore himself, winning all hearts : how, like a doughty warrior, he withstood the assaults of his enemies, deeming it cowardice to yield either to brute force or misfortune.

you are a devout Catholic, whom, pray, will you find to have suffered more grievously, if you weigh those twenty -seven years and longer that he passed in prison ? What need to mention the forfeiture of his immense property, the loss of all his wealth, his unspeakable grief in the sufferings of his mother, wife, children, of his whole household ? And worse, the perils that constantly menaced his life from every side, the innumerable and well-nigh barbarous cruelties and wrongs inflicted on him, the hunger that racked him , he bore all with the calmness of another Job. Never once, though instant death threatened him, would he sully his chastity . Admirable, too, his other virtues, charity, patience , and self-denial. If you are a heretic, take note how beloved he was of God , Who delivered him so wondrouslyfrom the sword of the foes that threatened him with death: Who, after he had endured with constancy , sufferings and calamities and griefs innumerable, bestowed upon him earthly goods in abundance : Who now for nearly fifty years has preserved his body whole and incorrupt, and by his patronage has wrought divers and wondrous miracles ; Who finally has exacted penalty for his wrongs from Elizabeth, Queen of England, the Marshall, Justice Popham , and

Sheriff Grenville. The Queen met a miserable end : for thirty days before her death, so foul a corruption exuded from her body, that for the stench thereof, none could stay in the room where the wretched creature lay. Cursing God, and blaspheming that holy name again and again , she passed away in the utmost agony , leaving no issue to carry on the government of England . The Marshall was so devoured by vermin, even to his intestines, that in a few days he gave up his wretched and unhappy soul. Nor did Justice Popham meet with a happier fate, but after passing sentence on Master Francis Tregian and his servants , and Cuthbert Mayne, his sacrificing priest, he was suddenly carried off by a most foul and loathsome disease. For a while, indeed , he enjoyed great But what of Grenville ? honours and wealth, until for his depraved moralsand enormous crimes , he was banished from the realm of England and forbidden to return on penalty of death. Nor did the Almighty curb His wrath even here, but He girded Himself to bring the total destruction of all those who were cruel and unjust to the children of Master Francis . With almost daily prayers and tears these besought King Charles of England to grant some share of the patrimony that was due to them, both by the civil and the natural law. Moreover , they sent the King eight thousand and sixty English pounds to be permitted to enter on their estate . This money the King retained, nevertheless , he still would not restore them their property. Large sums were also given to Lords Portland and Strafford to champion their cause. By these means at length they recovered their paternal inheritance, but after three days they were again disinherited by Parliament on the plea that the property was too extensive to be held by Papists , especially in view of the proximity of Spain , and the convenience of the ports. A third of their rich patrimony was accordingly offered them.

Plunket has evidently confused Sir Richard Grenville , Sheriff in 1577, who died in the " Revenge" 1591, with Sir Richard Grenville b . 1600, General of the West during the Civil War, disgraced and imprisoned 1646, escaped and fled abroad, died in great want at Ghent in 1658 .

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

This they rejected as insufficient, and thereupon they were deprived of the whole, to the utter ruin and destitution of themselves and their descendants to the present day. How swiftly, gentle reader , both the King and the aforesaid Lords brought upon themselves the just and unescapable wrath of God, you can see from the following. Lord Portland died suddenly soon afterwards; the other Lord perished miserably on the scaffold . A like fate befell the King ; for England, Scotland , and Ireland rose in arms against him and deprived him of both his kingdom and his head, while the Queen and the Royal Family were forced to depend upon the generosity of others in distant lands . Clear and striking instances certainly, if they be well weighed , to strike terror into the hearts of those who ill -use the servants of God. Take care therefore , whosoever you are , that you fall not into the like calamities and miseries , yea , that you be not cast headlong into hell . But rather, if you be wise, follow in the footsteps of St. Paul, who, after exceeding all others in the zeal with which he persecuted the faithful followers of Christ, being suddenly changed by the power of God, forsook his false sect and joined himself at once to the body of the believers , thereby winning for himself a high place in Heaven , such as promise shall be yours also if you imitate his example .

Farewell .

Your most obedient and faithful servant in Christ Brother Francis Plunket , of the Order of St. Bernard.

THE EARLY LIFE OF TREGIAN. he who boasts his family tree dishonours his name , it is not fitting that should follow the usual course by unweaving the web of Tregian's genealogy . For he need not vaunt the meretricioussplendour of ancestry, who, by the brightness of his virtue has shed an undying you examine the line of his descent , you will light upon his cradle . find it derivedfrom three kings, of England, of Castile , and of Portugal, and so Francis was connected with three royal houses. would have been unseemly that one whom God had designed to endow with the greatest gifts should be born in an inferior rank. John Tregian, a magnate of Cornwall, and Margaret Arundel, a woman of the highest nobility, begot Francis, a new sun to his family and faith. The Tregian rose unfolded its crimson amid the English thorns, not to be concealed thereby, but rather to be surrounded as with a guard of

honour. The young eagle, disdaining earth, gazes with unblinking eyes into

the radiance of the sun . So it was with Tregian, who dissipated not his soul with childish trifles, but at an early age rose to great heights of piety. When twenty-one, he took to wife a woman of noble family, Mary, daughter of Lord Stourton, and for nearly ten years he lived with her in the honoured bonds of wedlock. Now at this time, Elizabeth, Queen of England, or rather Bane of the true Faith, was wickedly conspiring against the little flock of Christ, directing her fury especially against those who were most loyal to the See of Rome , and promulgating most inhuman and barbarous laws. To none did this policy cause more distress than to Francis. Unspoiled by his immense wealth and possessions, he was filled with anxiety at the sight of the old religion dying out, and the new gaining ground, and through his zeal many were instructed in true doctrine, and brought to a knowledge and love of the Sacraments of Christ. For the sake then of his friends, whose peril daily grew more deadly, he betook himself to the Court, and there he encouraged them not to yield to the troubles of the times, insisting that woes make wings to sprout, and that happiness is often composed of the most sorrowful ingredients. Thus by word and example he gained esteem at Court, and wielded considerable influence . His modesty, combined with dignity, won all hearts, and in relieving the needs of the poor he was tireless , never allowing the fastidiousness of his own breeding and habits to stand between him and the most sordid squalor. But the friendship of Elizabeth for Francis developed into passion, and she desired to keep him as near to her person as she felt him near to her heart. As the attraction waxed stronger, Elizabeth offered to make Francis a Viscount, * but he, in his modesty, shrank from the burden and courteously declined the honour, lest, as he said , this premature mark of royal favour should detract from his merits by being attributed solely to affection. " To me," he added , " it would be quite enough , if the Faith, for the sake of which came to Court, should breathe more freely and recover strength. But because violent passion exceeds all bounds and knows no law, it came to pass shortly afterwards that the Queen, late at night, sent as a confidential messenger to Francis, one of those ladies who are called Maids of Honour. She earnestly begged him to go and see the Queen without delay, and so secure from Her Majesty yet greater favour than she had already shewn , especially as Elizabeth wished to consult him on matters of the greatest importance. She added that he had captivated the Queen, that nothing more agreeable could be imagined than that their intercourse, with increasing familiarity, should ripen into intimate friendship, and that Francis ought to realise what immense advantages would accrue to him from the favours of

royalty.

Vice- comes is the usual term for the Sheriff, but here is evidently used in its modern sense of the word for Viscount , a member of the fourth order of the British peerage . The use of this title dates from the reign of Henry VI, though in England was sparingly conferred till recent times.

rerum occurrit menti , videlicet quod nocte ad Reginæ colloquium præstituta ægritudinem causetur pro urbana excusatione, ratus aliquando morbum morbo mederi et desperatum desperatione convalescere . Sed quis amatoriam refrænet vesaniam ? Solium despicatur Elizabeth, eademmet ad Francisci lectum majestatis inscia, amore perdita celeriter emigravit, illumque benigne pertentans spondet se summopere curaturam ut arctissimo amicitiæ vinculo constringantur, deinde inter Angliæ Dynastas protinus ille referatur. Reginæhumanissime grates habuit noster ægrotus, atque ut gratiæ præberet argumenta , privatam publicamque suæ domus supellectilem , unicam eximas conscientiam, uni obtulit Elizabethæ.

Furtim abiit Tregeon præsens exacturus consilium, non tamen Tregeonensis abiere vestigia sanctimoniæ, fidem faciat prodigium a conjuge postea compertum et a sorore testificatum. Cum enim quadem nocte cum sorore conjux Francisci cubitum iret in sindone tam superiore quam inferiore , et pulvino, in ea parte qua ille quieti indulgebat , quinque supra sexagenas apparuerunt cruces, graphice adeo atque adeo affabre exscriptæ ac si pictor ingenue curiosus politiori exarasset penicillo, quæ quidem cruces , quamvis etiam atque etiam, iterum atque iterum simplex ablueretur pulvinum, nescio qua tenacitate , non nescio quo miraculo , per senum mensem incorruptæ præfulserunt . TREGIAN'S MARVELLOUS STRENGTH OF MIND. This ill -omened embassy of the night enveloped Francis as in a thick cloud of sadness and perplexity, bringing him as much grief as to others it would have brought pleasure . He was at his wit's ends to discover some strategy whereby to escape from the Queen's mad fancy. In his bewilderment, only one idea occurred to him ; on the night assigned for his interview with Elizabeth he would plead illness as a polite excuse, remembering that disease is sometimes healed by disease, and that one hopeless condition is sometimes counteracted by another. But who can restrain the madness of passion ? Elizabeth, disregarding her throne, oblivious of her majesty, lost to all but love, hastened to the bedside of Francis, and greetinghim graciously, promised to admit him to the closest intimacy , and to give him a place at once among the first nobility of England. Our invalid professed the deepest

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

gratitude to the Queen, and in token thereof offered to Elizabeth for her sole benefit the whole of his estate all, exceptingonly his conscience. This repulse was highly displeasing to the Queen ; she gave free vent to her anger, and lashing Francis with her tongue , she accused him of cowardice , and finally, still not cured of her passion, she retired from his bedside, hoping that at the restoration of his health she would accomplish her desires. Thinking over these wiles of Satan , and perceiving obvious peril to his soul , Tregian was tossed on a sea of cares. , If, hebereflected withdraw from the Queen's unlawful pursuit, shall expelled from the Court, and incur the odium of the Palace ; if yield, serve her lust, and betray my religion, shall become the object of envy and animosity, and it will mean the final ruin of myself, which I might risk , but also of my family, which would be worse . Of two evils let us choose the lesser ; at daybreak, without a word to the Queen, I will steal from the Court. Assuredly in such a contest, to flee is to conquer. In pursuance of this plan, Tregian stole secretly away. But the traces of his virtue were not so easily concealed, as witness a miracle afterwards discovered by his wife, and testified by his sister. One night when the wife and sister of Francis were retiring to bed, on the upper and lower sheets, and on the pillow in that part where he used to sleep, sixty-five crosses were seen , so vividly and artisticallydrawn that they seemed the finished work of some skilful artist. And though the pillow was washed repeatedly, these crosses with miraculous persistence were there resplendent for six months.

When Elizabeth heard of Tregian's departure, thinking herself deceived by him, she flew into a most unroyal rage . With an oath she asserted that the traitor had left to plot some crime against her royal person ; called him a perfidious criminal, and declared that being a Catholic, nothing but evil could be expected of him. She ordered the laws enacted against Catholics to be published without delay, and further commanded the Knight Marshal to proceed against the said Francis, his family, and dependents with all rigour, and promised their property and goods to him for his pains . The Queen's behests were carried out with zeal . Letters of Commission were despatched to the Sheriff of Cornwall giving orders to place Francis and all his household under strict arrest. With the assistance of a military force of a hundred armed men , the mandate was promptly executed on the eighth day of June , in the year 1599. So, bound in chains , he appeared before the heretical Bishop of Exeter. The heresiarch took cognisance of the acts of Francis, and since he, as a Roman Catholic, was opposed to the sect and conduct of the Queen, he was greeted with ridicule and treated with contempt as a man berett of his wits . After bail had been accepted for him, he was cast into close confinement, and the chief reason alleged for his imprisonment was that he had supplied a priest with the requisites for saying Mass. When the Assizes came on , Francis was summoned to stand his trial for himself and his household . Francis appeared before the tribunal without fear, for his conscience acquitted him of all guilt. Innocent as he was, the Judges raged against him , and strove to bring him in guilty of a capital offence on this charge, to wit : that he had insolently carried about with him a Bull, the tenour of which was a conspiracy against the State. A second charge was that Francis and many of his friends never set foot within the Queen's churches , evidence not only of disobedience to the royal command , but also of contempt. With countenance unmoved, Francis replied , that as to the Bull he knew nothing of ; as to absenting himself from the Queen's churches, he freely confessed that he had not entered them, but as a matter of conscience, not from contempt. On this plain statement the Judges decided to adjourn the trial, or rather the conflict.

CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST FRANCIS AND HIS HOUSEHOLD.

When the Court opened on September 16th, there were brought before the tribunal with insult and outrage , Cuthbert Mayne, massingpriest of Francis, and fifteen of his household , and Francis also . You would have wept to see Francisstanding to answer the charges adduced against him and the priest especially . Seven heads of high treason were alleged :

First, that he had obtained from the Holy See a Papal Bull, containing conditions of absolution, which Bull commenced : GREGORIUS SERVORUM DEI.

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

Secondly, that he had several times promulgated the said Bull, and secured a willing hearing from Francis and his friends. Thirdly, that by acknowledgingthe supreme power of the Pontiff he involved the Christian State in utter confusion . Fourthly, that he had brought from Rome Agnus Deis, and that although Francis and his household knew of this , no information was lodged. Fifthly, that in token of friendship he had given Agnus Deis to Francis and his servants and had made no mention thereof. Sixthly, that he had celebrated Mass in the presence of Francis and his household . Seventhly, that the friends of Francis , and moreover he himself, did not frequent the churches of the Queen and the heretics , nor abjure the Catholic Faith . Of these, the first three the priest refuted without any trouble . The fourth he countered thus : " It is true that brought Agnus Deis from Rome, but never gave them to Francis or his servants to keep . The sixth nobody could substantiate by real proof . The last he acknowledged willingly and with utmost constancy. The unjust judges of the English Court condemned Cuthbert to death as guilty of high treason . First he was to be hanged for a short while on a gibbet, then to be cut down while still living, mutilated, his heart and entrails to be drawn and cast into the fire to burn, and the body itself to be divided into quarters and hung in high places of the city in witness of his depraved loyalty . And so it was done. All the servants were punished by forfeiture of their goods, and condemned to be imprisoned for life. Francis , though absent , was included in the same sentence. The influence of his friends procured a delay of execution by an adjournment, but they could not obtain for him any alleviation of the close confinement wherein he was kept in iron chains .

They heap abuse on him, and as by common consent bring against him not charges but calumnies , which all amount to this : that he had outraged law and order, that he had grievously offended the Queen, to whom he had been frequently reported as guilty of serious and grave misdemeanours ; that now the time had come when he must completely clear himselt of all. To this Francis quietly retorted: " That am falsely accused is evidence , not of my guilt, but of the malice of my enemies. Therefore grant me the option that the law allows in such cases : let this indefinite charge be deferred for a time, that may be formulated by was, it had little weight legal experts at leisure ." Reasonable as this it with the judges , who called in to finish the case men versed in wickedness , rather than skilled in the law. And as Francis was unable to explain the most important items of his cause in the presence of the cut-throats who guarded him, neither his innocence , of which they were well aware, nor his humble entreaties , nor the rights of the law could prevail with them to set him free from prison , or at leastfrom his manacles for a time, for he was already treated by them as one doomed to die. Meanwhile, the judges , ready for any iniquity, deputed a number of men, of small legal skill and less rectitude, to pass sentence on Francis, in peril of his life, according to their whim. And although the lawyers, without knowledge of the law, were steeped in ignorance and cunning, yet knowing him to be innocent of all guilt, they dared not condemn him to death. They posed as his friends , waiting for him to agree to frequent the Queen's churches and forsake the Catholic faith. he would consent to this, they promised to set him free , both him and his household , including even his chaplain and his condemned servants. not, the law must take its course against him . The noble soul of If Francisneither yielded to these promises, nor failed under his sufferings , until the lawyers , wearying of his constancy, although they could not convict him on any point of law, or prove the shadow of a crime , or even make up a coherent case from the evidence of his enemies, finally passed sentence on the trumped- up charges, of which Francis knew nothing, and of which the iniquitous judge was the author. Francis, in defiance of truth, is proclaimed a traitor, his goods forfeited to the Treasury, himself condemned to perpetual imprisonment. And in prison , following his bent for prayer, he passed the days in contemplation of the Life and Passion of Christ his Saviour. Meanwhile, some miscreants , deputed by the judges , hastened to Golden , his home . There at dead of night, like an invading army, they battered walls, and devoid of all sense of pity, at the gates, broke down the loaded Mary, Tregian's wife, the children, and the servants with abuse, tore off their ornaments , and finally, with barbarous cruelty, thrust them forth from the house. In such calamities what could Mary do ? An abundant flood of tears was her only resource , her only consolation . To London , therefore , Mary made her way, in the hope of redeeming part at least of the loss she had suffered . For a whole year she wept and pleaded before Elizabeth, but not a farthing could she wring from the heartless Queen for the support of her husband and children. She was told that Francis was regarded as a Papist, and herself as the wife

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

of a traitor, and therefore unworthy of any compassion or assistance. Meanwhile, the enmity of the heretics towards Francis increased in shamefulness and intensity . They even contemplated his secret assassination, and fixed on a price among themselves to be paid to the man who would do away with him in prison. When Francis heard of this , his constancy was in no wise shaken . In this happy peril he had only one fear, namely, that if he were secretly murdered in prison, his enemies would circulate the report that he had laid violent hands on himself, to the no slight scandal of Catholics , and loss to their cause.

PIETATIS ARGUMENTA.

Ea propter imminens periculum summa nititur ope devitare, idque beneficio pueruli cujusdam, qui ei ministrabat, felicem sortiri exitum non desperavit, interim dum ad fugam adornandam et discessum necessaria a puerulo diligenter et virili solertia pararentur, Franciscus divino motus impulso totum se orationi et meditationi dicavit, quo tempore piam admodum quandam orationem edidit , qua ipse postea et exemplo ejus quam plurimi in exercitium quotidianum utebantur. Scripsit etiam epistolam consolatoriam ad uxorem, in qua ipsam ad patientiam , orationem , et vitæ passionisque Christi assiduam contemplationem , earum insuper utilitatem mirifice referens, hortabatur, et quia tam orationem quam epistolam animarum saluti utilissimam fore judicavimus , utramque hic inserere

PROOFS OF TREGIAN'S PIETY. On this account he took the best means he could devise to escape the threatened danger , and relying on the help of a lad, who waited upon him, he had every hope of success . And while the youth was making all preparations for flight, Francis , under the movement of divine grace , gave himself wholly to meditation and prayer. At this time he composed an exceedingly devout prayer, which afterwards he and many others used to recite daily. He also wrote a letter of comfort to his wife, in which he exhorted her to patience , prayer, and constant meditation on the Life and Passion of Christ, dwelling most admirably on the benefit thereof, and as consider both the letter and prayer likely to be of the greatest edification, have decided to insert them here .

Scribo ad te (charissima conjux ) cum in scribendis literis me parum versatum probe noveris, sed si scribere temeritatis est, non recusare obsequii; nunc igitur, si quid inelegans exciderit , id ut excuses , rogo, eoque magis nam huc me adegit inopia , ut pro atramento carbone, pro calamo utar aciculo, quod ut veniam merear non nihil conducet. Si igitur ob exercitationis insolentiam in me scribendi peritiam desideres , hoc ipsum in excusationem profero . Et quamvis in poetica cum Virgilio, aut in oratoria cum Cicerone nullatenus adæquer , in intimis amicitiæ et benevolentiæ signis erga te præcipue, uxor amantissima, nulli me inferiorem cognosco . In cujus rei argumentum hoc quotidianum meum exercitium , orationem scilicet antecedentem, ad te mitto ; nullum tibi pretiosius, nullum gratius fore munus existimans . Sit igitur , O mea conjux , tuum studium quotidianum assiduis solicitare Deum precibus; nunquam deservit implorantem Dei auxilium; hæc oratio erit tibi fidei arx, præsidium fortitudinis, quietis anchora, salutis portus . Ad gratiam exorandam pro te semper agat oratio. In hac pernoctes, et in hac evigiles ; hæc enim dolorum omnium medicamentum præstabit . Deum itaque implora indefesso crebroque rogatu , ut tuos animi dolores, et lacrymas mitigare velit et pro certo habe illum quod saluti et incolumitati tuæ magis proficuum videbitur procul dubio donaturum . Si vitam Christi servatoris, et amarissimas poenas mente recolueris, ea voluptate irrigaberis quam nec calamus capit, nec mens complectitur, illarum consideratione quasi Aurora lucidissima refulgebis, et in Scripturis sacris interpretandis non parum proficies. Eia igitur conjux fidelissima sæculi illecebris remisso nuntio, vaces tantum coelestibus quin hunc intermittas laborem qui ad æternam veræ quietis securitatem sternit viam. Vitam Christi pro speculo tibi propone, et ab ea tantam voluptatem suavitatemque percipies, quantam ad tuos animi dolores, et angustias minuendas concupisces ; quino sub plagarum fonte maculas elue, et omnium vulnerum cicatrices facillime Christi sanguine obliteratas invenies. Plura scribere non licet , custos enim carceris ad ostium pulsat. Vale igitur , o mea conjux, iterumque vale, o mea Penelope fidelissima , vale inquam spei meæ anchora, vitæque ; dimidium. Parvulis meis singulis tam viris , quam fœminis, immo ipsi infantulo qui adhuc sub uteri claustro ad vitam proludit , paternam benedictionem meo nomine dispensabis; quibus omnibus, et singulis æternam felicitatem magnopere cupio .

VIRTUTIS APEX TREGEONENSIS .

Inter hæc cum de omnibus ut se fugæ committeret satis provisum foret, ex amici obtigit incuria, quod carceris evadendi consilium detegeretur. Hoc propalam revelato , extemplo superveniunt hostes fremitu inconditaque inurbanitate Franciscum quam tumultuose adorti verberibus , atrocissime cædunt ; tum alapis, tum convitiis plene odium atque invidiam satiarunt; mox obscuriore Franciscus coercetur sub custodia, duplicantur summi ponderis manicæmanibus additæ, ablatisque compedibus, quibus eo usque premebatur , aliis priores triginta libris excedentibus pedes ejus onerantur . Sicque per trinum mensem in fœdiore loco cum omnibus suis ad fugam authoribus , et præsertim puerulo, qui viriliter pro eo multa sustinuit, in suspiriis et lacrymis jacere compulsus est. Tanta abusi patientia satellites modo blanditiis, minis modo a fide Franciscum Catholica summopere conantur deturbare , sed cum Austrum percellerent, de eo anhelant brevi conficiendo, et malum malo addere machinantes etiam ab illo carcere ad alium miserabiliorem in eisdem semper vinculis removerunt , in quo velut in horribili miseriarum labyrintho et humanarum calamitatum barathrointer homicidas , latrones, prædones , omnemquescelestorum fæcem

Etiam spurcissimas res ad ejus iram commovendam et ad evertendam viri mansuetudinem admirabilem , nunc ad os ejus et nares in ludibrium et derisum apponebant. Tandem ut nihil intentatum relinquerent , Franciscum inediæ maleficio e medio tollere decreverunt, quo circa insipida panis quadræ, vile etiam catellis obsonium, illi pro victu semel ad diem apponuntur , quæ omnia vultu ad hilaritatem composito illæsa, non sine memoria , obliviscitur Francisci patientia.

THE SUBLIMITY OF TREGIAN'S VIRTUE . Meanwhile, when all preparations had been completed for his escape from prison, the whole design was discovered through the imprudence of a friend. Thereupon his enemies rushed on him with fierce shouts and unbridled brutality, rained blows and insults upon him, removed him to a darker dungeon , doubled his heavy manacles and replaced the fetters with which he had been loaded until then with others more weighty by thirty pounds. And thus for three months, with those who had favoured his flight, especially the serving lad, who manfully endured much for him, in sighs and tears he was left to lie in a filthy cell. Abusing his patience , the gaolers strove their utmost, now with flattery, now with threats, to shake the loyaltyof Francis to the Catholic Faith; but , as men who buffet the wind, they soon drew off, baffled and breathless . Still adding evil to evil, they removed him , always laden with his chains , from that prison to another even worse, wherein, as in a horrible labyrinthof misery, an abyss of human calamity, amid murderers, thieves , brigands , and the scum of criminals, he passed his days with incredible patience . Ye heavens, to what lengths was the shameless license of the gaolers here carried ! refrain, lest modesty should turn away her face . To move him to anger, to disturb his wondrous meekness, in insult and derision they forced filth against his mouth and nostrils. Finally , to leave nothing untried, they resolved to remove him by slow starvation. And so they gave him once a day some morsels of tasteless bread , unfit for a dog to eat. And Francis, with unruffled countenance , understood and endured it all. Three months passed thus, and then Francis was taken back to his former prison , until through the unwearied pleading of his wife and friends he was transferred to the royal keep in London. Change of place, however , brought him little alleviation. Within a few days the fury of his persecutors broke out again, and he was thrust into the common gaol where he spent another six months of the utmost misery. However, he besought the Queen that something, however small, might be assigned him for his nourishment, or that he might be removed to a place where , if only among the lowest of the people , the necessaries of life might be supplied him. Not, indeed , that the lowestin rank are the lowestin reality . Poverty is a condition, not a crime . As a result of this petition he was transferred to the closest possible confinement . So rigorous was his treatment, so utter his destitution, that at the end of three years his bodily health was quite wasted away. The fever contracted from the filth of the gaol gradually brought him to death's door, his features were emaciated , his frame so weakened that on one occasion, leaning on a stick for support, he fell to the ground with such violence that his cheek was cut open by the rough paving. His nose and mouth were so

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

unsightly that his poor wife, pregnant at the time and about to give birth to a child, was so overwhelmed with grief that she was delivered without a midwife, almost at the cost of her life. Moved a little at the sight, the Queen's counsellors released Francis of his fetters and treated him with less harshness. Also for the needs of himself, his wife, and his family a sum of money was assigned, small enough consideringwho he was, but sufficient for a thriftyman to live on .

THE END OF TREGIAN'S LIFE.

Virtue experiences danger , but never defeat. Though Francis suffered from his misfortunes, he triumphed over them. England strove for Francis' death, Spain endeavoured to keep him alive. The Ministers of His Catholic Majesty, learning of Tregian's wretchedness , began to visit him frequently , and never without a handsome present, so that for a time he and his family were freed from want. Scarcely had this help arrived, when his enemies in envy left no stone unturned to deprive him even of this respite . Unmoved by the fact that Francis was now spending his twenty - seventh year in prison , they deprived him, in their avarice , of the daily allowance that had been assigned him. Thus persecuted again , and fearing that his enemies would not rest until he should be put in chains once more , Francis now sought to pass the remainder of his days in the peace of exile. Many friends, and especially the ministers of the Catholic Powers , learning of his cruel persecution , worked for his deliverance . And since the representatives of the King of Spain had been more liberal to him than the others, and since they promised that he would receive most effectual aid from the King himself, Francis longed to go to Spain . At length he arrived at Madrid. And, oh the power of virtue ! Philip ordered a procession of the highest of the nobility to go out to meet him. Tregian prostrated himself before His Majesty, and never was there more evident proof of the power of virtue to attract, nay, to charm the hearts of men . Philip, admiring his piety and modesty, congratulated himself on being in the presence of one so recently freed from persecution , and in order to convince Francis of the royal goodwill, he assigned to him a pension of sixty gold pieces a month, and promised further to come to his aid even in the slightest need,

Since , however , his body was wasted with disease, Philip commanded the Court Physicians to examine him and to spare no trouble or expense in their efforts to restore him to health. The physicians, after lengthy consultations, traced the malady to his long imprisonment, and advised first a change of climate ; and as Lisbon seemed more suited to the English constitution, they suggested his going there . To Lisbon Francis is carried . But seeing that neither the mildness of the climate, nor the pleasantness of the place restored his health, with great fervour he gave himself to serious exercises of piety, and to daily scourgings of his poor body, even unto blood . And so his bodily weaknesses did not hamper the heavenly energy of his soul ; nay, the freedom of the spirit grows as the forces of the body wane . To the poor he was exceedingly generous, assisting them in their need with unwearying charity. Meanwhile, he was especially troubled by the English persecution in Ireland, fearing for his sons and grandchildren lest they should be infected by the poison of heresy . When, therefore, as another St. Paul, he had finished his course, and manfully fought the good fight, and kept the faith unscathed eighteen years after the long persecution he had endured , duly fortified , as befitted a good Catholic, with the last holy rites, he passed away in the sleep of a sweet, nay, of a most happy death, in the sixtieth year of his age, on the 25th of September , A.D. 1608 , in the House of the Society in Portugal named after St. Roch, and there, near the pulpit, he abides incorrupt . A man worthy to be kept ever before the eyes of the most. illustrious heroes, an example and a mirror of the most sublime virtues And for lesser men , an occasion to admire at least that which so noble a hero accomplished in charity and the Catholic Faith.

THE MIRACLES OF TREGIAN'S BODY . Seventeen years had passed, when , on opening his marble tomb, the body of Francis was laid open to view, incorrupt and untouched by worms. The clothing wherein he had been committed to the grave, hungry Time had eaten away, with the exception of that portion which

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

natural modesty used as a covering. This was as fresh as if it had just been put on, and from the tomb breathed a fragrance that suggested, not a bed of ashes, but rather the groves of Hybla. This small cloth * was taken to Ireland as a relic, and there, to her mingled joy and sorrow, handed to the Lady Philippa , the noble wife of James Plunket. Three manifest miracles this relic wrought . This is the first. One Griffin Evans, brought to the point of death by an incurable malady, eagerly demanded the Sacraments of the Church. Francis Plunket, the Cistercian , who was the sick man's chaplain, happened to be away at the time . And so it came to pass that Evans died unhappily without Viaticum and Extreme Unction . Learning this on his return, and grieving exceedingly that the man had suffered so great a loss through the carelessness of his relatives , Plunket gave himself wholly to prayer, and with all his strength besought God to manifestthe virtue of that particle of cloth, since its preservationwas evidently miraculous, and restore Griffin to life, that through the reception of the Sacraments he might be absolved of his sins. Filled with confidence he applied the cloth to the lifeless body. And lo ! regaining the use of his sight and all his senses , with a deep sigh, Griffin earnestly begged to be refreshed with the Bread of Heaven and anointed with the Holy Oils. Plunket immediately administered the Sacraments , and when the last rites were completed the man paid the debt of nature once again, this time more happily . Not long after, Philippa Tregian, the daughter of our Francis, was confined to her bed with a fever which baffled the skill of the physicians, and proved impervious to their prescriptions. Hearing of the miracle just related, she also had recourse, as to an anchor of hope, to this particle of her father's clothing . Nor was she disappointed: her health was restored , and, contrary to the expectations of the medical men , she also regained her former strength. Moreover, that the miracles of Francis might be made known far and wide by land and sea, it happened about the same time in the early spring, that James Plunket, the son- in- law of Francis, with two sons, of whom one was the aforesaid Cistercian , set sail from Ireland for the English coast in the company of six other vessels. But a terrible tempest suddenly arose and drove these six vessels out of their course and they all foundered . Plunket's ship, as though the storm respected scatheless through all the gale. The captain, however, seeing ithis, rode craft at the mercy of the wind and waves, suddenly seized with fright, leaped into a small boat to escape, if he could, one danger by facing another. Meanwhile James and his son had given themselves to prayer, and now they drew forth from its case the renowned piece of cloth and secretly cast it into the sea. That particle of clothing, like Elijah's cloak, calmed the waters; the wind dropped, the waves ceased to roar, and the wondrous ship landed all the clients ofthat sacred covering safe on the shores of England. Finally, that the Portugese also, with whom Tregian had spent his last days , were not deprived of his miraculous powers , let the first nobility of Portugal bear witness to his wonder- working patronage . The Lady Violantia a Castro , when suffering from a violent fever brought on by grievous illness , in her anxiety as the fever showed recently brought to my notice that a portion of this cloth * It has inbeen a case of relics at Stonyhurst . It measures about one square is preserved inch, and is of woollen texture , dark brown or black, with white flecks, and inscribed : De Panno Francisci Trudgian . P.A.B, C

no abating, yielded to the advice of the physicians that a vein should be opened , despite her advanced age . The fever, raging between the veins , settled on the left eye weakened by the bleeding , attacked the delicate membrane and suffused the whole organ with a disfiguring coat of blood . The noble and pious lady, with unwavering faith, applied to the bloodshot eye a piece of paper containing dust gathered from Tregian's tomb . The following day the eye was found to be quite free from its coating of blood and the pupil was even brighter than usual.

ALIA DE TREGEONE PRODIGIA.

Tandem institutum nostræ narrationis cursum prosequamur, aliaque nonnulla prodigia , quæ Deus Tregeonis precibus eo mortuo fecit quibus in ipsum pietas hominum excitetur, et quemadmodum in coelo celebratur ejus gloria, sic etiam celebretur in terris. Longum sane erit recensere singula, quæ de hoc viro prodigioso memoriæ proditum est, incredibilia sunt quæ in ejus actibus probatis referuntur, sed ea perstringam , quam possim brevissime. Antonius Maria Espinola cum æstu , febrique jactaretur diaria, ad eamque gravissimus capitis dolor accederet, ad Nosocomii cogitabat remedia recurrere, et cum rumor corporis Tregeonis integri inventi ad aures ejus pervenisset, ad Ecclesiam divi Rochi contendit, et inter turbam ad ejus sepulturam confluentem eruendi pulveris studio , ille etiam particulam cretæ mirabilis sibi suffuratus est, et inter corpus, et indusiam reverenter imposuit , et dicta ter oratione dominica, et salutatione angelica, supplicans Deo, ut si illud corpus Sancti Herois esset , ejus meritis sanitatem sibi restitueret , ab omni prorsus dolore et febri repentino convaluit. Franciscus de Figueiredo nobilis genere , cum sex capillos capitis Tregeonis secum domum pie reportasset ; filia, quæ in malignam febrim inciderat , exigua spe vitæ relicta, eisdem capillis ab eo applicatis , statim recreata, et ex morbo , periculoque erepta est. Idem accidit alteri filiæ, quæ immodicis doloribus sympthomatisque languerat, et admonita a patre ut capillorum remedio uteretur, mox a dolorum, et deliquii molestia liberata est. Sed illud in primis memorabile , quod accidit domi cujusdam Dynasta Lusitani. Emanuel Fernandez anteambulo D. Gondisali Vaz Coutinho crurium doloribus torquebatur , ita ut incessu prohiberetur ob virulenta juncturarum ulcera ; pueruli tamen industria, qui ejus crura terræ pulveribus aspersit, sanitatem recepit, incolumisque intra octo dies huc illuc pervagabatur, quod antea nullo pacto valuerat . Item mendicus quidam, cui nomen Emanuel Cortea, qui in eadem domo hospes erat, biennio jam febri exæstuabat alternis diebus, eodem usus medicamento terræ sibi admotæ, febri caruit, et infirmitate. Quid vero de mulieribus dicam ? Multas sane ejusmodi probatæ fidei historias possem commemorare, sed ut ne in finali hoc argumento prolixus sim, pauca brevi perstringenda me, lectoremque expedient. Maria Lega, quæ Tregeonis erat studiosissima, narravit se moribundo adstitisse, et cum nimia hilaritate perfusum con-

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

spicaretur , eum interroganti, quamobrem tam lætus e vita migraret, respondisse illustrissimam , supremamque Angelorum Reginam, ac dominam sine labe conceptam ei se videndam præbuisse, et tanta præsentiæ dulcedine recreatum æquissimo animo vitæ fabulam peregisse . Huic adjungamus quod sponsæ Deus suæ Tregeonis ob merita perfecit . D. Clara de Sancto Francisco sacra virgo e Coenobio Divæ Claræ morbillo ægrotavit , et biennium erat , ex quo tanta stomachi debilitate conficiebatur, ut singulis diebus matutino vomitu difflueret , præfocante deinde guttur angina, donec ad capilli barbæ Tregeonis patrocinium confugit , positoque in ore ipsius stomachi venerabilis menti capillo pristinas vires revocavit , et nullas amplius ejus morbi reliquias sensit. Sed ne prætermittamus aliud meo judicio admirabile . Susanna de Affonseca filia familias pene decem mensium spatio quartanam passa artuum tremore plus solito quatiebatur, at audita corporis Tregeonis mirabili adinventione se Deo commendavit , obsecravitque ut sibi pristinam valetudinem ob merita tanti Herois restitueret, et Dei misericordia , meritisque Tregeonis ab illa die febris remisit, omnisque tremoris acerbitas. Nec huic dissimile contigit filiæ cujusdam Ambrosii de Azevedo, quæ simili quartana correpta , easdem preces concepit , et ab eo ipso die restituta sanitate lætata est. Rursus alia matrona D. Elizabeth de Moura uxor Lupi Furtado de Mendoza, paulo ante enixa, tanta doloris acerbitate ob incidentem podagram constituta est, ut vel ad sindonis tactum animam agere, sensibusque destitui putaretur; multa remedia leniendo malo adhibebantur , sed inani conatu, nam dolor non his modo levabatur, sed etiam gliscebat indies. Aderat tum forte D. Antonius de Almeida ejus patruelis frater, qui cum ægrotanti mentionem prodigiorum Tregeonis injecisset, particulam panniculi illius, quo tectum corpus integrum inventum est, ei tradidit , et D. Luiza de Mello ejus mater_sacrum centonem magna religione atque ex intimo animi sensu , Tregeonem uti sanctum virum prius venerata, ad eam partem , qua acrius filia torquebatur , admovit , et illinc omnis cedere dolor subito visus est, surrexit a lecto, et minime impedita deambulavit . Filius etiam ejusdem Elizabethæ de Moura Georgius Furtado de Mendoza tanto colli cruciatu afflictus fuit ex parte dextera, ut ad sinistram illud inflectere nequiverit, sed applicata ei sacri panniculi particula, terraque sepulturæ addita, protinus collum movit , integram exinde sanitatem recepit . Unum ad extremum omitti non debet. Puellula quædam tertium agens ætatis annum Catharina Coresma filia, et Francisci de Andrade equitum actuarii, forfici oculum per imprudentiam percussit, et cum inflammatam postridie mater pupillam notasset, nec oculum filia posset libere aperire, mox ei admovit aquam, ubi terra sepulturæ Tregeonis erat diluta, et repente coepit oculum expedire, sed cum nebula eum obduceret, ejusdem aquæ remedium mater triduo continuavit; infundens in oculum guttatim licorem, et dolore levari, et omnis lippitudo visa est evanescere . Sed quamvis multa, certaque sint ea prodigia , quæ diximus,

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

multoque plura brevitatis causa reliquimus . Hæc tamen mandato Reverendissimi Domini D. Michaelis a Castro Archipræsulis Olisiponensis per doctorem Canonicum Antonium Monisium da Camera examinata , multorumque idoneorum testium ac medicorum testimoniis confirmata , ut constat ex actibus ejus vitæ approbatis , deincepsad divini nominis gloriam , servique ejus Tregeonis omnium ore celebrantur. Hæc sunt præclare gesta Francisci Tregeonis: Hocce oculis objicite speculum, o Dynastæ, parvi fiat purpura si facit ad crimina, vilescat aurum, si auræ inservit. Ne credite voluptati, oculis subjicitur voluptas , si rem premitis infelicitas reputabitur; honoribus ne inhietis; quid honos ? Onus. Qui honore evehitur, honoranti astringitur. Qui spe illectus aulæ indulget, caveat ne invidiæ oculus intercipiat obsequia, invidiæ et insidiæ nimium aulicæ . Coelestis a scelesta curia discriminatur, ad regum limina plerumque obrepunt crimina; vitat aulam Franciscus, quæ nocet quieti, præoccupat exilium ad fidei documentum, Christo totum refert, qui totum contulit. Emenda ergo ad hoc speculum tuæ vitæ nævos, exemplar tibi sit Franciscus, dum enim virtutibus sanguinem condecorat, splendidius suo generi peperit ornamentum : dum voluptatem despicit, religioni prospicit , regibus invidia, nobilibus prototypon, infimis pudor, pauperibus subsidium, hostibus prodigium , suis gloria , omnibus ara, Angliæ triumphus, Madrito desiderium , Olisiponi æternum pignus, et recordatio immortalis. OTHER MIRACLES OF TREGIAN .

Let us pursue the course of our story and narrate other wonders wrought by God through the intercession of Francis after his death, thereby arousing the devotion of the faithful towards him and procuring his honour on earth as well as in Heaven . would be too long a task to relate all the miracles attributed to him . Those recorded in his authentic Acts are almost beyond belief. But will touch upon them as briefly as can . Anthony Maria Espinola, afflicted with a daily fever and a severe headache , was thinkingof going to hospital. But hearing of the finding of the incorrupt body of Francis, he hastened to the Church of St. Roch, and amid the crowd thronging the tomb to secure some of the dust, he also secured a small portion for himself. This he placed next to his skin, and saying thrice the Pater and Ave he besought God that, body of a Saint, by his merits he might be restored to if this were the health. At once all pain and fever left him. Francis de Figuerido, a nobleman , by an impulse of piety carried off six hairs from the head of Tregian. His daughter was sufferingfrom a malignant fever and nigh to death. The six hairs were applied to her, and at once she was freed from the danger and the malady. Another daughter was afflicted with excessive pains and faintings . On her father's advice she also made use of the hairs and was delivered from her suffering and weakness. An especially remarkable miracle took place in the house of a certain Portuguese Prince. Emanuel Fernandez , footman to Don Gondisali Vaz Coutinho, was tormented with virulent ulcers in the knee joints and quite unable to walk . A child sprinkled his legs with the dust and immediately he was restored to health, and within a week

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

he was walking about with ease. In the same house a certain beggar named Emanuel Cortes had suffered from a fever on alternate days for two years . He made use of the same remedy and was delivered from the fever and the disease. But what shall say of the instances of women who were cured ? could relate numerous well authenticated cases, but, not to be prolix, will satisfy the reader and myself with the mention of a few. Maria Lega, who was most devoted to Tregian, narrated that as she stood by his death- bed she remarked that he was filled with great joy, and when she asked how it was that he was quitting life so gladly, he answered that the glorious and sovereign Queen of the Angels , Our Lady conceived without sin, had appeared to him, and by her presence, had inundated his soul with such sweetness that he could leave this shadow of life with the utmost serenity. To this let us add what God did for Tregian's merits to His virgin spouse. Donna Clara of St. Francis, a holy nun of the Convent of St. Clare , for two years was troubled with such weakness of the stomach that every morning she had a violent fit of vomiting, followed by a choking attack of quinsy. She had recourse to the patronageof Tregian, and placed a hair from his beard on the pit of her stomach. At once she recovered her strength, and the malady troubled her no more . But must not omit the following which seems to me very wonderful. Susanna de Affonseca , a maiden , had been suffering ten months from a quartan ague. The ague was more than usually acute , when she heard of the wonderful finding of Tregian's body. She commended herself to God and begged for the restoration of health through the merits of so great a Saint. And from that day, by God's mercy and Tregian's merits, the fever abated and the ague ceased . A like case was that of the daughter of one Ambrose de Azevedo , who was seized with a similar quartan ague, was inspired to make the same petition and was restored to health from that very day. Again, another matron, Donna Elizabeth de Moura, wife to Lopez Furtado de Mendoza , shortly after childbirth was tormented with such pains of gout that at the mere touch of the sheet she seemed almost out of her senses and on the point of expiring. Many remedies were tried but the pain appeared only to increase. A cousin , Don Anthony de Almeida, happening to call, told the sick woman of Tregian's miracles and gave her a small piece of the cloth which had been found on his incorrupt body. Then her mother, Donna Luiza de Mello , having first paid devotion piously and from her heart to Tregian as to a saint, applied the piece of cloth to the part most affected . At once all pain disappeared , she arose from her bed and walked with ease. The son also of the same Elizabeth de Moura, George Furtado de Mendoza , was suffering from a pain on the right side of the neck and could not move his head to the left. The piece of cloth with some dust from the tomb was applied, and he was able to move his neckfreely and recovered his health. One last instance must not be omitted . A little girl, three years old, the daughter of Catharine Coresma and Francis de Andrade, a cavalry officer, accidently injured her eye with a pair of scissors. Next day the mother noticed that the pupil was inflamed and that the child could not open her eye properly, and at once she applied water in which the dust from Tregian's tomb had been dissolved . The eye began to open immediately, but as the sight was still obscured , the mother continued the treatment for three days ; the pain ceased and all dimness of vision disappeared .

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN

Though these that have mentioned are numerous and certain, there are many more miracles which omit for brevity's sake. These, however, are on the lips of all, with the authority of the Most Reverend Lord Don Michael a Castro , Archbishop of Lisbon, examined by Doctor Canon Anthony Monisius da Camera , and confirmed by the testimony of numerous trustworthy witnesses and medical men, as appears from the authentic Acts of his life , unto the glory of God and of His servant Tregian. Suchis the glorious story of Francis Tregian. Set this mirror before your eyes, O Princes . Let the purple be despised if it lead to sin; let gold be esteemed as dross, it foster vanity. Trust not to pleasure ; pleasure is only apparent; touch it, and you will find it misery. Desire not honours. Honours are onerous . He who is raised to honour is the slave of him that raises him . If, drawn by ambition, a man frequent the Court, let him beware lest the eye of envy intercept his service , the excessive envy and treachery of Palaces. The Kingdom of Heaven has no truce with the kingdom of vice ; sin is usually found on the threshold of kings. Francis shuns the Court as hurtful to his peace, and occupies his exile with the mysteries of the Faith . To Christ he refers all, from Whom he received all. By this mirror remove the imperfections of your life. Let Francis be your exemplar, for while he adds honour to his name by his virtues, he bequeaths to his son the most glorious inheritance. Despising pleasure , he honoured religion. The envy of kings, the prototype of nobility, a rebuke to the base, a stay to the poor, a portent to his foes, the glory of his own, to all an altar , for England a triumph , the beloved of Madrid, the everlasting protection of Lisbon, and a memory that shall never fade.

XIII . SPECULI LUMINA.

I. NOBILITATI HÆREDITARIE FRANCISCI TREGEONIS. Eia agite ad speculi convertite lumina vultus, Hoc Tregeon vita splendidiore nitet. Sol est nobilitas, speculum Franciscus, inerrat Virtus in speculo, in nobilitate jubar. Totus in hoc speculo superûm se comit Olympus , Crescit ab hac major nobilitate polus . Si lubet ad speculum proprios bene fingere vultus, Hinc quantæ irradiant relligionis opes ! Francisci in speculo virtus splendente nitescit; Sancta, nec in speculo, vita, silente tacet . THE LIGHT OF THE MIRROR. TO THE NOBLE HEIRS OF FRANCIS TREGIAN. Unto this mirror's light, come, turn your eyes.

With Tregian's radiant life the mirror glows. E'en as the mirror holds the sun's bright beam, So Francis from his life shows virtue's ray. The heavenly hosts all gaze upon this glass, And Heaven's own splendour from its brightness grows. thou wilt also turn thine eyes thereto, If Much wealth of piety shalt thou behold. For Tregian's virtues still resplendentshine, And in death's silence still they cry aloud.

RELIGIOSO ET HONESTO FRANCISCUS OCCLUDITUR MAUSOLEO.

Barbara jaspideum sileat monumenta sepulchrum, Unum hoc, quod fruitur corpore, jactet opus. Marmore sic corpus, sic marmor corpore gaudet ; Vivere vel marmor corpus inerme facit . Nam jacet intactum Tregeon sub marmore corpus ; Nobile cum tanto corpore marmor ovat. Non tamen ut vivat , tegitur sub marmore corpus, Altera sed corpus marmoris est anima . THE HOLY, NOBLE TOMB OF FRANCIS .

Let jasper tomb its splendour vainly boast, The glory of this grave lies in its guest . The stone and body, each in other joys. The poor stark flesh the very stone makes live And incorrupt beneath its marble lies. The marble glories in its precious trust. Not lease of life, just shelter takes the flesh, But to its case ' tis as another soul.

3. EXTRA PATRIAM MORITUR TREGEON. Ad Lysiæ Tregeon peregrinas occidit oras; Coelo non poterat nobiliore mori. Ecco respondet voci ; mors consona vitæ est ; Hæc peregrina fuit, mors peregrina fuit. TREGIAN DIES IN EXILE. On Lisbon's distant shores doth Tregian die A more beseeming end he could not meet . To speech doth echo answer , death to life, A homeless life forebodes an exile's death.

4. E FRANCISCI TUMULO SUAVISSIMUS EMANAT ODOR.

Talem sarcophagus Francisci exhalat odorem, Qualem Pæstanæ non peperere rosa. Quantus odor vivo est , tantum jacit inde cadaver ; Post mortem bene olet , qui bene vita oluit. FROM THE TOMB OF FRANCIS EXHALES A SWEET ODOUR.

Sweet fragrance from the tomb of Tregian breathes The like the rose of Pæstum never shed . His life a fragrant odour aye exhaled,

His body stark in death is fragrant still.

5. ELEEMOSYNAS EMENDICAT FRANCISCUS , UT EROGET PAUPERIBUS .

Pauperibus pauper peregrina redditur arte, Ac precibus Tregeon quas dabat , emit opes. Quis modo tam carum tribuit vel prodigus aurum . Constarent tanto si data nemo daret . Prodigiosa mihi Francisci O munera ! quando Pauperibus potuit queis caret æra dare. FRANCIS BEGS ALMS, TO GIVE TO THE POOR .

So poor himself, he helps the poor with alms Which his own pleading gleaned from others wealth. Who ever gave so much at such a cost E'en if his own, yet were his alms still great. But here the marvel that his poverty On other poor such bounteous gifts bestowed .

CRUCIBUS AD FRANCISCI PULVINUM REPERTIS .

Blanda quies furtim vel quando obrepit ocellis, Circumstant Tregeo mollia strata Cruces . Haud curas religat Morpheus, licet alliget artus; Respondent curis somnia justa suis. Displicuit Sindon, tibi Crux Francisce placebat , Ergo cruces inter mollius ossa cubant . Assisio Christus dat vulnera quina ; Britanno Francisco dat plus : hunc cruce donat amans . Quam bene utrique suum Christus divisit amorem ; Quinque tenet plagas ille, sed iste Crucem. THE CROSSES FOUND UPON THE PILLOW

FRANCIS .

E'en when sweet sleep had softly closed his eyes His couch is found adorned with cross on cross. For slumber dulls our senses , not our griefs, And dreams of night repeat the cares of day. Fine linen not thy choice, but still the Cross, So crosses softly soothe thy weary head . To Francis of Assisi Christ gave wounds; To him of England, more ; in love , the Cross. To each bequeathing tokens of His grace ; Five wounds to one, the other has His Cross.

7. AD LUSITANIAM EMORITUR TREGEON. Horruit hæreseos semper gens Lusa venenum;

Nunquam Lusiacis hæc nota nota plagis. Hæc igitur regio tibi dat Francisce sepulchrum, Perfida ne fidum contegat urna virum. Convenit ergo tibi tumulus , licet Anglia nolit; Namque decent Lusam Lusa sepulchra fidem.

LIFE OF FRANCIS TREGIAN TREGIAN DIES IN PORTUGAL .

Now Portugal the bane of heresy Has ever hated, ne'er given it a home. Right fitly then this land provides they tomb, Lest faithless dust should touch thy faithful heart. Let England still refuse a resting-place, This country's Faith of exile makes a home.

INTER SOCIETATIS EMERITOS IN DOMO PROFESSA DIVI ROCHI TUMULATUR.

Cur inter Francisce senes tumularis Jesu Anne senem alliciunt te gravitate senes ! Te juvenem juvenes potiori jure reposcunt ; Nam juvenum exemplum nobile vita tua est. At voluere senes te condere in æde professa; Divina quando in lege professus eras.

HE IS BURIED AMID THE DEPARTED OF THE SOCIETY IN THE PROFESSED HOUSE OF ST . ROCH.

Why liest thou amid the aged dead ? Does dignity of age now draw thee old ? Twere better youths should claim thee still as young, Thy life a pattern stands to youth for aye. But mid the old Religious rest thee now; As they their vows , so thou God's laws didst love.

SUB ROSTRIS CONCIONATORUM CONQUIESCIT FRANCISCUS .

Francisci exanimum tumulant sacra pulpita corpus ; Ad populum poterat vel sine voce loqui. Pro rostris hortatur adhuc elingue cadaver; Prodigium est ! Clamat vita, loquella tacet. Exemplo docuit Tregeon, dum vita manebat ; Exemplo in tacita nos quoque morte docet. Sub rostris jacet, et celsus per rostra vagatur; Vel mutus vita suadet, ut astra petas. FRANCIS REPOSES BENEATH THE PULPIT .

Beneath the Preacher's Chair they set his tomb . His voice , though silent, yet by all is heard. Still speaks the speechless body from the Chair. His lips are dumb ; his life aye cries aloud. While life abode, he ever taught by deed ; example teaches still. In voiceless death He lies beneath , yet soars above the Chair; In silent death he bids us seek the stars .

Non sacra Francisci tetigere cadavera vermes; Non est conveniens vermibus iste cibus.

Non, Francisce, nocet vacuo tibi crimine vermis ; Te venerante Deum, te veneratur humus . Dum tua membra vident vermes, reverenter adorant ; Portento hoc pasti sat pepulere famem. THE BODY OF FRANCIS IS UNTOUCHED BY WORMS . The worms ne'er dared to touch his sacred flesh. Unseemly they should find their nurture here, They would not dare draw nigh thine innocence .

The earth reveres thee , e'en as thou didst God . They see thee there, and lowly homage pay, And as they gaze, all hunger is forgot.

He does not lie, he stands beneath this stone . Here 'neath the marble Tregian stands , not lies; In life supreme , in death without a peer . Believe a miracle of Faith: in death All lie ; his Faith so strong, he could but stand. Great marvel this, but worthy of belief. If further of his story you would learn: Of English birth, he fled to Spain, he rests With Roch , in Portugal ; Faith gave him Heaven . In bliss his soul ; his body here bides whole. To exile driven he finds his soul's true home . No mother-land that treats her son so ill : His country this, that sent him home to God . NOTE I. THE TOMB OF FRANCIS TREGIAN . (See frontispiece.) Tregian's Tomb, we are informed, still stands where was erected in 1626, under the pulpit in the old Jesuit Church of St Roch the same pulpit, says tradition, from which St Francis Xavier preached in 1540 or 1541. The pulpit is built into the wall on the Gospel side, midway between the porch and the high altar, at a considerable height above the ground. The slab, 7 . by 3 ft ., is of polished marble of a ft light flesh colour. It is ornamented by a shield bearing a plain cross, and by four oblong panels of a darker marble, all raised above the surface . Round the edge are eight bosses of black Portuguese marble, which material is also used for the letters of the inscription, inlaid on a white ground. The inscription runs as follows: AQVI ESTA EM PE O CORPO DE DOM FRANCISCO TREGIAN FIDALGO IN GRES MVI ILLVSTRE : Ŏ QVAL DEPOIS DE COFISCADOS SEVS ESTADOS E GRANDES TRABALHOS PADECIDOS EM 28 ANNOS DE PRISAM POLLA DEFESA DA FE CATOLICA EM INGA NA PERSEGVCAM DA RAINHA ISABEL NO ANNO DE 1608 A 25 DEZBRO MORREO NESTA CIDADE DE LISBOA COM GRANDE FAMA DE SANTIDADE AVENDO 17 ANNOS O ESTAVA

NOTE

II.

We are indebted to the Rev. Father Francisco Rodriguez , S.J., of Lisbon, through the Rev. Father C. A. Newdigate , S.J. , for the following information . (1) The original " Prefect's Book quoted by Father Ignatius Stafford in his letter of April, 1625, * is"still preserved in the archives of the Santa Casa da Misericordia de Lisboa, and in 1916 was published by Victor Ribeiro under the title of Obituarios da Igreja e Casa Professa de San Roque da Companhia de Jesus for the Lisbon Academyof Sciences. Therein, at page 55, will be found the passage quoted by Father Stafford; with the information added by another hand that " in 1624, on the vault being opened for another burial, Tregian's corpse was found incorrupt , and was reinterred upright under the pulpit; and that the other body was not laid in the vault out of reverence for the servant of God ; and that in future none was to be buried there without express order of the superior. " (2) In the Synopsis Annalium Societatis Jesu in Lusitania of Father Antonio Franco, S.J. (Augsburg , 1726) , there is an elogium of some length of Francis Tregian . The writer sums up by saying: His life was exemplary and his death that of a saint." He then goes on to give the reason of Tregian's burial in the Jesuit church: On his death-bed he implored the Fathers of the Professed House, who had been his spiritual directors, that he might be buried in their church. Many years after his tomb was opened and his body found entire, fresh and incorrupt . The whole proceeding was committed to authentic records . The venerable body was deposited in the wall of the church, with an inscription to show how great a man is there interred."

No. II . THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF KENDAL (WESTMORLAND), 1762-1840; WITH NOTES ON THE MISSION OF DODDING GREEN FROM 1706 . EDITED AND ANNOTATED, WITH HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION , BY JAMES RAE BATERDEN . HISTORICAL NOTES.

Although at the time when the history of modern Catholic missions opens, about 1700, the total population of Westmorland was probably not more than 35,000, it contained many houses where the Faith was maintained during the penal times. Some houses had chapels, a few kept resident chaplains, and all were occasionally visited by " riding priests who travelled about in disguise . The chief Catholic house in Westmorland is Sizergh , three miles south of Kendal, which the Stricklands originally of Great Strickland, in the parish of Morland, near Appleby acquired by the marriage of William de Strickland with the only daughter and heiress of Ralf d'Eincourt , about the year 1239. The arms of Sir Walter Strickland * are on the threestoried tower, which is the oldest portion of the magnificent pile, and was probably erected by him, who in 1336 obtained leave to enclose his wood and demesne lands at Sizergh , and to make a park there. The Stricklands still hold Sizergh , and still hold the Faith, and during those six centuries of residence have been conspicuous in many important events in English history . One carried the banner of St. George at Agincourt; two centuries later Sir Robert Strickland , M.P., commanded a troop of horse at Edgehill, and at the same place his son, afterwards Sir Thomas , commanded a regiment of foot and was made banneret by Charles I. He followed the fortunes of Charles and James and the family were for long years resident amongst the Jacobites in France , where many of them were buried. In the early 18th century the family again settled at Sizergh. Thomas Peter Strickland married as his first wife a daughter of Simon Scrope of Danby, Yorks. Thomas , their second son , died at St. Omer in his 18th year, whilst William, who joined the Jesuit Order, founded the Mission of Alnwick , Northumberland, as it exists to - day, and died in London at the age of 88 on 23 April 1819. He became heir to the estates in 1761 on the death of his brother Walter, but renounced them in favour of his younger brother Charles , who married the heiress of William Townley, of Townley, Lancs. By her second marriage to Jarrard Edward Strickland, of Willitoft, Yorks., is descended the present head of the family, Sir Gerald Strickland, G.C.M.G. , who has served as Governor of The Leeward Islands, Tasmania , Western Australia , New South Wales , and now of Malta and , was created 1st Baron Strickland of Sizergh 1928. The family chapel stands over the laundries on the south side of the entrance court . The altar frontal is of Italian leather-work executed 1431-38 , during the

Pontificate of Eugenius IV, who in 1431-32 granted to Sir Thomas de Strickland, the hero of Agincourt, and his wife Mabel a licence , still preserved here , for the establishmentof a chapel and portable altar. * was during the time of Charles Strickland, fifth son of Thomas Peter Strickland, who married Cecilia Townley in 1762 , that we trace the first chaplain, Rev. Thomas Johnson vere Middlehurst , who is described under Kendal. We next find that the Rev. James Weldon, S.J. , a native of Northumberland (born 14 June 1716; entered the Society in 1739 ), was at Sizergh 1771-73 . He had been a missionerin the Worcester district 1746, and in Hants . 1763. He died in the London district 10 Dec. 1802 . Then came the Rev. Thomas Daniel, S.J., always known under his alias Thomas West, the historian of Furness and the Lake district. He was much beloved and respected by the Strickland family, and probably at times acted as chaplain. He died at Sizergh whilst on a visit 10 July 1779, and was buried in Kendal parish church just outside the door of the Sizergh chapel , " 1779, July 12. Rev. Thomas West from Sizergh aged 62. His gravestone bears no inscription . After this the Rev. John Billington served at Sizergh 1790-92 . He was son of James and Jane Billington , of Durton in Broughton, Lancs., and went with his brother Thomas to Sedgeley Park School , thence to the English College, Lisbon, where he was admitted 5 Nov. 1777, and left for the Mission 11 Feb. 1784. He was afterwardschaplain to the Stapletons at Carlton Hall, Yorks. , 1823-27, after which we cannot find him mentioned. For some time after this we can trace no chaplain probably there was none . About 1805 Rev. John Lawrence Eccles , O.F.M., came from Yorkshire as chaplain. Mrs. Strickland died at Brough, Yorks., 22 June 1807, but Father Eccles lived on at Sizergh until his death there, a Jubilarian of his Order, and was buried in Kendal 19 March, 1810, Rev. John Eccles of Sizergh Hall, papist, aged 8o . He was a Lancashire man; had been Preses of Mount Grace, Osmotherley, Yorks., 1764-70, during part of which time he was living at Nether Silton, 3 miles south of Osmotherley, and was again elected in 1778. He came from Crathorne as chaplain to the Scropes at Danby, Yorks.; remained about two years , returning to Crathorne in 1804, and thence to Sizergh . Mrs. Humphrey Ward's well-known novel, Helbeck of Bannisdale , is founded on the trials and misfortunes of the Stricklands of Sizergh , and the description of Bannisdale is taken partly from Sizergh , and partly from Levens Hall, about a mile distant . Selside Hall, about four miles north of Kendal held by the Thornburgh family since the time of Edward had a private chapel in the house, which by usage appears to have become, or been looked upon as, the Established Church. This being inconvenient to the owners , who were all along Roman Catholics , the late William Thornburgh, Esq ., § gave to the inhabitants a parcel of ground at about

The hall is now a farm-house, but there is a substantial portion of the ancient structure left . Skelsmergh Hall, also a farm- house, about two miles northof Kendal, belonged to the Leyburns for centuries , until its forfeiture with the rest of the estates after 1715, John Leyburn, the last of the family, having joined the Rebellion of that year. Cunswick, three miles west of Kendal, was their principal seat . From this family came Roger Leyburne, Bishop of Carlisle 1503-7; George Leyburne, D.D. , President of Douay, who founded the " riding mission " which included Cunswick, Witherslack, and Skelsmergh ; and Bishop John Leyburn, who confirmed 65 persons belonging to Dodding Green and Sizergh in 1687, the first Visitation by a Catholic bishopfor about a century. Burneside Hall, not far from Dodding Green, now partly in ruins, was the seat of the old Catholic family of Braithwaite, who purchased it from the Bellinghams and held it until about 1752. The Dalstons of Acorn Bank at Temple Sowerby, in the north of the county, were resident there since the 15th century, and were Catholic down to 1750; they married into the Leyburns and other old Catholic families in this and adjoining counties . The Ducketts of Grayrigg died out about 1700. It is , however, at Dodding Green where we trace the genesis of the existing Catholic Mission of Kendal, and we does not appear that must consequentlygive its description first. any Register was kept there.

DODDING GREEN .

About a mile and a half north of Kendal, a little to the east of where the main road to Penrith begins the stiff climb over Shap Fells, lies the hamlet of Dodding Green, situated in the moderntownship of Skelsmergh . The old mansion house, now the Catholic mission, dates from before 1682, as that date is on one of the rain spouts at the back of the house; the floors , doors , and a fine staircase are of oak, and within may be seen one of those priests' hiding-places common in the betterclass houses of this period. The house stands by itself in the open country, approached by a drive, and close to the river Mint . Among the pictures on the walls is a painting of Richard Braithwaite , author of Barnaby's Journal " in Latin and English rhyme, and many other sketches , who lived on the adjoining estate of Burneside. § The little

chapel in the house, dedicated to SS . Robert and Alice, has sittings

for about 50, but is rarely filled, as the inhabitants are few. Here lived about the end of the 17th century a charitable Catholic gentleman

called Robert Stephenson , a considerable land and property owner, who founded the mission of Dodding Green, and several charities in this neighbourhood and in the adjacent town of Kendal. He would be living here in 1687 when Dr. John Leybourne, Vicar Apostolic of England, confirmed 65 people belonging to Dodding Green and Sizergh . This is the first mention of Dodding Green in Catholic history. In 1678-9 , during a search for arms , all that Robert Stephenson had was one old sword. " In May 1692 there was a warrant out for his arrest, and the seizure of any of his horses worth more than £5 . In March 1695-6 his name was in the list of Papists and suspected Papists. He was a non-juror in 1715, and was buried in Kendal churchyard 23 April 1723 . There were many deeds executed in connection with his Charity, as the gift, being by a Catholic, and for Catholic purposes , was liable to seizure , so the property was devised to various Trustees , several of whom were Protestants, such for safety being the practice of the times. The chief trustee in all cases was his friend and neighbour William Thornburgh, of Selside Hall, who was also executor of his will. The oldest deed is dated 13 Nov. 1706 whereby " for the temporal and spiritual relief of poor Catholics.... for the ornementation of disfurnished altars and the beauty of the divine service .... and whereas in my neighbourhood and other places in the Co. Westmoreland and parts adjacent, several poor Catholic families want helps and corporal subsistence , want means to improve "' spiritual and advance their children in learning and commendable employs, support for their old age, or sickness , want decent rooms or church the said Robert Stephenson for the service of God " ornaments ..do freely give and bequeath the sum of One Thousand Pounds , the yearly rent of which shall be received for ever by the Secular Skelmerge , and Witherslack on " clergy priest who helps Cunswick, the pension founded by Dr. George Leyburne, deceased.

George Crook and Edward Gilpin, and within four months they were to elect a sixth trustee. The indenture for the conveyance of Dodding Green in Trust is dated 14 May 1714 there are several indentures of the same datewhereby Robert Stephenson of Dodding Green, Co.

temporal trustees. Part of the charity was to be spent in " alms to all sorts of poor persons at the door of the dwelling house, or some convenient place in the neighbourhood. A distribution of meal was given by way of dole at Dodding Green down to 1801 , when a money payment of £6 per an. to poor housekeepers was substituted. By Stephenson's " Declaration of Uses dated the Feast of All Saints , 1721 , the Trust was to be concocted under strict secrecy and not to be discovered was that directly or indirectly to any person whatsoever." Thus in the Charity Commissioners Report on this charity, dated 1822, they more than once say we have not been able to obtain any inspection " of Trust deed." Considerable areas were added to the Charity lands due to enclosures in the early part of the 19th century and land bought by sale of timber , so that in 1862 the charity owned about 393 acres, as well as valuable house property in Kendal. The poor of the adjoining townships of Grayrigg, Whinfell, Whitwell, as wellas those of Selside and Kendal, still benefit by the Stephenson Charities. The Charityis still managed accordingto the wishes of the founder ; by three official trustees , all of the secular clergy; one elective trustee, being a Catholic layman of position in the diocese; and one hereditary trustee, the head of the house of Riddell -Blount (formerly Riddell) of Cheeseburn Grange , near Newcastle -on-Tyne, being heir-at-law of William Thornburgh, who died in Jan. 1744. This is merely for the purpose of carrying on the continuity of the legal estate , and he has nothing to do with the management of the trust. The present hereditary trustee, Major E. F. Riddell- Blount , J.P. , has kindly assisted me in my enquiries into this Charity. Quite recently the legal estate in the Charity has been vested in the Official Trustee of Charity Lands. *

For more than a century Dodding Green has been looked upon as the last home of aged priests. (See Charity Commissioners ' Reports Jan. 1822 and after. " In the matter of Stephenson's Charities, Westmorland. Statement for the Charity Commissioners , " by J. V. Harting, Lincoln's Inn , London. 1862.) The following priests served this mission : Rev. Thomas Roydon (No. 1) alias Cornforth, possibly a memberof the ancient family of Rawdon, of Rawdon near Guiseley , Yorks. Hetook the college oath at Douay 15 Aug. , 1681 , taught there for some years after ordination, and left for the mission 9 Oct. 1692. Kirk, who calls him Reydon, " says that in 1708 he went with Bishop Smith's consent to Notre Dame des Victoires, in Paris , to spend one year there to make him more fit for the mission . " He was V.G. to Dr. Witham, Vicar Apostolic of The Northern District (1715-25 ), and was with him during his Visitation in Lancashire in 1720. Mr. Roydon's notes and letters give us an insight into the hard and troubled life led by himself and the priests of those times, and the long and arduous journeys they undertook, always haunted by the fear of detection. * According to a statement by the informer Thomas Fletcher, a tenement called Lewhouse , now Low House , on the river Eden , two miles north of Armathwaite , Cumberland, was from 1712 to 1716 " inhabited by He seldom appears Thomas Roydon, a priest, at a £25 rental ." attached to any particular mission ; his cousin , Rev. Thomas Cornthwaite , was chaplain with the Scropes at Danby, Yorks. , for many years , and he pays him frequent visits. He appears to have been chaplain, or at any rate staying, at Leighton Hall, near Lancaster, then occupied by the Hodgsons , about 1716; he was "' riding priest " to the Thornburghs of Selside, the Leyburns and other families, on the pension founded by Dr. George Leyburn, and by Trust deed of 14 May 1714, Robert Stephenson appointed him first priest of Dodding Green, and a trustee of the Charity which he founded. He may possibly have lived there for a short time with Robert Stephenson , but on the death of the latter in 1723 he made Dodding Green his home . Here he died 30 Oct. 1741 , probably about 74 years of age, and was buried in Kendal churchyard, " 1741 , Nov. 1. Mr Roydon of Dodding Green, Papist priest. " Rev. Thomas Roydon (No. 2) succeeded his uncle. Born in Yorkshire 1 Feb. 1705 , he entered Douay in Aug. 1720, and took the college oath 28 May 1725. (Rev. Thos . Roydon No. 1 ] was an executor of the will of Rev. Thos . Faceby, who left £100 secured on lands at Aldborough, Yorks., for the education of this younger Thomas .) After his ordination on 11 June 1730 he taught at Douay for 14 years ; was 2nd professor of divinity at the college in 1739 , when Dr. William Thornburgh was President; he took his S.T.P. before June 1740, and left for the English Mission 14 July 1744. Dr. Kirk says that Lancasterwas the seat of his labours when he came on the mission, § but he could only have been there a short time . He appears to have been in residence at Dodding Green as early as December 1745. On 11th April 1763 he was chosen Archdeacon of Chapter; died at Dodding

Green 16 Oct. 1764, and was buried in Kendal churchyard, 1764 October 17, Mr Thomas Roydon of Dodding Green, Papist. Rev. Robert Johnson succeeded. He was the son of Ferdinando Johnson of Middleton-in-Teesdale, Yorks., by Frances, 4th daughter of William Thornburgh of Selside, Westmorland, and niece of Dr. Wm. Thornburgh, President of Douay (1739-50). Agnes , her younger sister, was a nun at Antwerp and died there. He entered Douay May 1736, and after his ordination there in 1753 was put in charge of the preparatory school at Esquerchin, near that town . He came on the English mission between 1765 and 1768, served many years in Lancashire , " and was for a time in Manchester . He came to Dodding Green some time after the death of Rev. Thos . Roydon ( No. 2) ; died there 2nd, and was buried in Kendal churchyard 6 June 1799, Rev. Robert Johnson of Dodding Green, aged 75. Whilst at Douay he " was deemed a rigid disciplinarian, " and he left a guinea to every one, a priest, who had felt the weight

of his rod. By the sale of timber he cut down, he bought adjoining land in 1775, and considerably added to the Dodding Green estate. Rev. John Lonsdale , cousin of above , son of Richard Lonsdale by a daughter of William Thornburgh of Selside, succeeded. He commenced his course at Douay 23 Aug. 1750, when about 14 years of age. He was still at the college in Sep. 1763 , but left soon after. He was living in York, Dec. 1770, when Dr. Walton, Vicar Apostolic, came to live with him . He commenced the Register of Little Blake Street, York, on 13 Jan. 1771 , and signs it until August 1775 , after which he had charge of the Mission of Linton- upon-Ouse , near York, 1776-95 (C.R.S. , xvii ) . He no doubt retired to Dodding Green soon after the death of his cousin , the Rev. Robert Johnson , and died here after a long illness 8 Oct. , and was buried in Kendal churchyard, 12 Oct. 1802 , aged 66.§

It will be seen that the last two priests being related to the family of William Thornburgh of Selside fulfilled the wish expressed in the charitable foundation of Robt . Stephenson .

Rev. Robert Banister was the 2nd son of Robert Banister of Hesketh Bank, Lancs., and Mary Bell ; born 21 Oct. 1725; educated first at Dame Alice's school at Fernyhalgh, Lancs ., and afterwards at Douay where he arrived 15 Oct. 1741.|| Ordained 19 Dec. 1750, he afterwards spent 17 years in the college as professor . He left Douay for the mission 15 Aug. 1769 and after a short stay as chaplain at Wrightington Hall, near Wigan, he removed to Ladywell, Fernyhalgh. In Oct. 1773 he was invited to Douay to teach divinity, and went, but returned next year. Was then first at Thurnham Hall, and in 1775 at Mowbrick Hall, near Kirkham , Lancs ., the seat of the Westby family, where he remained 29 years. After the death of Rev. John Lonsdale in 1802, he went to Dodding Green, where he spent the last 10 years of his life, dying 17 May, and on 21 May 1812 Rev. Robert Banister of Dodding Green, papist, aged 86 was buried in Kendal churchyard. His grave, on the east side, ,

was covered by a flat blue stone and had no inscription , but in 1895 Rev. Henry Brettargh of Dodding Green was arranging to have this done. Dr. William Gibson , V.A., gave Confirmation at Dodding Green during Mr. Banister's term of office , 22 Nov. 1803 . Then followed a long vacancy of 23 years owing to a dispute as to the right of presentation, when the Mission was attended by Rev. Thomas Wilkinson of Kendal. In 1834 Rev. Henry Banister alias Rutter, nephew of Rev. Robert Banister above mentioned, succeeded to the living. He was a son of Adam Banister of HeskethBank, Lancs. , by Agnes , daughter of Richard Butler of Maudesley ; born 24 Feb. 1755; arrived at Douay 26 Sept. 1768 , and in April 1781 went to St. Omer as professor . When he came on the English mission he probably went direct as tutor and chaplain to the Silvertops of Minsteracres, Co. Durham, succeeding Dr. William Gibson , who went to Douay as President in 1781. He signs the Registers at Minsteracres (one of which is at Somerset House) always under the name of Henry Rutter, from August 1785 to 31 March 1822. He was at Yealand, Lancs., from then until Jan. 1834, when he entered on the mission of Dodding Green , vacant since the death of his uncle in 1812. Here he spent the rest of his life, dying suddenly whilst going to meet his nephew Alexander Goss , afterwards Bishop of Liverpool, 17 Sep. 1838. The Parish Register of Kendal records the burial , on 21 Sep. 1838, of Henry Rutter , Popish priest, Dodding Green, Skelmergh , aged 83. He was the author of a considerable number of books , and his portrait in oils hangs in Dodding Green. Rev. Charles Brigham succeeded. Born 6 March 1802, the son of William Brigham of the ancient family of that name of Brigham Hall and Aberford, Yorks., by Sarah , daughter of John Cresswell . He entered Stonyhurst 12 Oct. 1814, and after completing his classical course travelled for further study in Italy, France , and Switzerland. His first mission was Congleton in Cheshire 1831-33 ; he afterwards served Bolton , St. Patrick's , Leeds , Blackbrook, and Sheffield , and during part of 1838 was chaplain at Callaly Castle , Northumberland . Whilst at Kings Lynn in 1840 Mr. Edward Riddell of Cheeseburn Grange presented him to the living of Dodding Green, where he was living in Dec. 1840. Notwithstanding a long dispute as to the right of presentation and some scandal , which involved an appeal to the law courts, Fr. Brigham remained until 1858. He erected a tasteful addition to the rectory here bearing his initials and the date 1840, and improved and ornamented the little chapel . He retired to the monastery of St. Bernard, Leicestershire , and probably died at Arundel

about 1884.8

His successor was Rev. Robert, afterward Dean Hogarth, a native of this district, of yeoman stock, son of William Hogarth, and elder brother of the first Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle . Admitted to Crook Hall seminary, Co. Durham, at the age of 12 , on 29 Aug. 1796, Since the above was written, the Vicar of Kendal , Ven . H. P. M. Lafone, Archdeacon of Westmorland , who has most courteously given me information on several points connected with the Parish Church, says that the stone now bears the following inscription : Rev.

he went to Ushaw when the seminary found a new home there. His first mission after ordination at Ushaw appears to have been Carlton Hall now Carlton Towers Yorks. , the seat of the Stapletons, where he was chaplain 1810-23 , and on 19 March in the latter year he succeeded Rev. Thomas Hodgson at Marton-in-Holderness , near Burton Constable , Yorks., an old chaplaincy of the Beckford family. Here he remained until 1858 , when he returned to his native district as priest at Dodding Green. The family name is frequently found in the Parish Register of Kendal so far back as 1574, and many of the name are business people in Kendal to- day. It is in most cases spelled with two g's, as it is in

this Catholic Register. Cumberland and Westmorland were much overrun and settled by the Danes and Norsemen , and Hoggarth (or Howgarth, as it is sometimes spelled) is evidently a Norwegian name- How, a frequent name " in Cumberland and here, means a hill, or mound, and garth , an enclosed place , and the place where we find the first record of the family name in this Register is " Garth-how," now called on the maps " Garth Row." One curious thing is that the baptism of a Hogarth on 7 July 1808 is the first record of the name in this register, as neither the names of Robert Hogarth, nor his brother William the bishop, appear therein, though many births and baptisms all round thedistrict are registered long before their births. Fr. Robert Hogarth died at Dodding Green 7 Feb. 1868 , and was the first priest buried in the little cemetery in front of the house. Rev. Ralph Platt, D.D. and Provost, succeeded the same year. Born 21 March 1812, the son of John Platt of Orford, near Warrington , and Alice, daughter of John Rigby of Fylde Plumpton, Lancs ., he was admitted to Ushaw 31 Aug. 1824; ordained 1837, and became Prefect of studies . In April 1843 he was appointed assistant to old Fr. Thomas Wilkinson, the priest of Kendal, and remained until August 1847, when he was appointed to Stella, near Blaydon-on-Tyne. In 1856 he was elected V.G. and Provost, and in 1857 took charge of St. Cuthbert's in the city of Durham. Here he spent ten years , and resigned in 1868, having taken his Doctor's cap the same year. He retired to Dodding Green, where he died at the age of 62 on 4 Feb. 1874, and was buried in the garden in front of his house . He was an excellent classical scholar and wrote many articles relating to Catholicism in the North, some of which were printed in the early numbers of the " Northern Catholic Calendar ."* After the death of Provost Platt the chapel was again closed for some years , but re-opened 22 May 1879. The Very Rev. Luke Canon Curry succeeded as Rector. Born about the year of Waterloo, he was ordained at Ushaw 24 Sept. 1842; after a short term at Bishop Auckland and Hutton House, Co. Durham, he was sent to Carlisle , where for a short time he was curate to the aged Fr. Joseph Marshall, and was then elected Rector of SS. Mary and Joseph , Carlisle , where he spent 34 years . Failure of sight caused him to accept the living of Dodding Green, vacant by the death of Provost Platt, and here he lived 11 years , dying rather suddenly 13 Nov. 1890 in his 75th year, and was buried by the side of his predecessors Dean Hogarth and Provost Platt.

He was succeeded by the Rev. Henry Brettargh, youngest son

of Henry Brettargh of Manchester , by his 2nd wife Mary Sidgreaves of Inglewhite Lodge , Garstang ; born 16 Nov. 1824. He went to Ushaw at the age of 14, and whilst subdeacon was sent to teach at St. Edmund's College, Liverpool ; after 4 years returned to Ushaw ; ordained 5 Feb. 1851. His first mission was Burnley, under Canon James Boardman; he served the districtof Colne, where he said Mass in a hayloft and had frequently to be escorted by a policeman, owing to the troubles of the time. After about a year at Burnley he went to Canada as chaplain to his brother- in- law Thos . Grimshaw, but soon sought for missionary work. He was given charge of Trenton, Ontario, where he remained 30 years , and built the fine church and presbytery there. It was a strenuous life; a sick call might mean a sleigh -journey of 18 miles with the thermometer below zero. He left Canada in 1882, and the following year took charge of Haydon Bridge, Northumberland, which then included Haltwhistle . Eight years later, on the death of Canon Curry, he removed to Dodding Green, where he spent 25 years , dying 5 Nov. 1916 in his 92nd year, the patriarch of the diocese, and was buried alongside his four predecessors, close to the house ; only the previous day he had said Mass for his people . He was of a cultured mind; delighted in company; was fond of communication, and had a fund of humour. Had a natural gift for all sorts of handicraft , and the church and rectory of Dodding Green were beautified by his work . His letters were always signed H.B.P. , " " Henry Brettargh, priest.*

The Very Rev. Joseph Canon Dunn succeeded. He was the 12th child and 7th son of James and Mary Dunn of Queen's County, Ireland . Born 9 March 1850 he came with his parents to England when quite a child , and went to Sedgeley Park school . Entered Ushaw at the age of 13 and remained until he went to Rome to continue his studies ; returned to Ushaw broken in health, and taught in the junior house. Ordained 18 April 1875 , he went as assistant to Canon Franklin at North Shields , where he remained four years . In 1879 came to St. Mary's Cathedral, Newcastle -on -Tyne, as senior curate. On death of Canon Vanderstichele in 1885 he was appointed to St. Michael's, Newcastleon-Tyne, where he erected the existing beautiful church, opened in 1891. Some years later he opened new schools and a mission in Benwell. He was elected Canon in 1890. In failing health he went in 1910 to the country mission of Haydon Bridge , Northumberland, and on the death of Rev. Henry Brettargh , in 1916, came to Dodding Green, where he died suddenly 11 Feb. 1925, and was buried at Esh Laude, near Ushaw . A genial , kindly, cultured man. After his death the mission remained vacant, and was served from Kendal. In Nov. 1924 it was transferred to the new diocese of Lancaster . The Rev. Charles Fleming is now in residence. KENDAL.

parallel to the river Kent, with its numerous alleys or " yards," as they are called , tells of the times when the townsmen were liable to frequent forays from raiders. It has been famous for its woollen industry since 1331 , when John Kempe , a woollen manufacturer from Flanders , received permission to carry on his trade in England and settled in Kendal, which was afterwards created a Staple town . Situate on the then main west road from the south to Carlisle, it has for centuries been the chief town in Westmorland. At the beginning of the 18th century it was an important trading town of probably 5,000 to 6,000 inhabitants , and, like most English towns of the period, contained but few Catholics . Yet in the town and neighbourhoodof Kendal, amongst those Catholics who were recorded under the Act of 1715 , to oblige Papists to Register their names and real estates, we find the following names :-Anne Strickland of Sizergh , widow of Walter Strickland * ; Dame Winefrid Strickland, widow of Sir Thomas Strickland ; Robert Stephenson of Dodding Green ; William Thornburgh of Selside Hall§ ; Oliver Platt of Skelmergh, yeoman; Margaret Barrow of Kendal ; Nathaniel Dixon of Kendal, butcher ; Edward Holmes of Faucett Forest, in Kendal, yeoman ; Thomas Pearson, yeoman , house called Myers in Docker in Kendal ; Jane Thornburgh of Skelsmergh , widow of Roland T.; Margaret Wilkinson of Bradley Field in Kirkby Kendal, widow, and her son, John Wilkinson ; Dorothy Morley, widow of William Morley, " Millhouse " at Patten in Kirkby Kendal. The parish church, with its nave and four aisles, is one of the finest in the country . It occupies the site of a Saxon church, and probably a Norman one succeeding , but the nave , chancel , and one aisle on each side of the same are the remains of the church founded by Ivo Tailbois, 1st Baron of Kendal, in the early 13th cent. The existing south aisle , called the " Flemish " aisle , was built in the 14th cent. in order, it is said , to accommodate the great influx of Flemings into the town, consequent on the new weaving trade. The large north aisle was built about 1580. The interesting family and other chapels , most of which were reroofed 1850-68 , are at the east end . The southmost of these is the Parr chapel built in 14th cent. , then the chapel of St. Catherine , V.M. (the Strickland Chapel), erected in 13th cent.: next come the chapels of Holy Trinity and St. Thomas Beckett, with the stately Lady Chapel (the Bellingham chapel ) built by Sir Roger Bellingham before 1553 in the NE. corner. By his will , made before setting out for France in 1430 , Sir Thomas

de Strickland , Kt. , the hero of Agincourt, ordered that A Prist shall synge for me and my ancestors at St. Kattin's auter in Kirkby Kendal for three years. In the chapel stands an ancient monument without

inscription , having quarterings of D'Eincourt and Strickland , with shield of Neville ; also an imposing altar tomb, with alabaster figure of a boy, erected in 1656 to the memory of Walter, son of Sir Thomas Strickland, Kt., by Jane, his first wife. Against the east wall are Monumental Inscriptions to various members of the family from 1737-95 , and just outsidethe entrance is the unmarked slab covering the grave of Rev. Thomas Daniel, S.J. , better known as Thomas West. On a pillar in the Bellingham Chapel is a long poetical M.I. to Dame Thomasin Thornburgh, widow of Sir William Thornburgh of Selside , Kt., and daughter of the last Sir Robert Bellingham of Burneside , who died in 1573. In the same north aisle there is, on the north wall, near the entrance to the organ chamber , a monumental inscription to John Layburne of Cunswick, who died 9th Dec. , 1737, the last of his race, erected by his widow Lucy, the heiress of Dalston. The advowson of this church, dedicated to The Holy Trinity, is in the gift of Trinity College, Cambridge . Like most early Catholic modern missions , the date of the foundation of that of Kendal is obscure . There is no doubt that Robert Stephenson , who founded the adjoining mission of Dodding Green in 1714, was also either the founder, or the cause of the foundation , of that at Kendal, as the Charity which he founded was managed by Catholic trustees . He mentions in several of his deeds that his gifts were for the benefit of poor Catholics, and for the upkeep of Catholic services in his own neighbourhood, and in other parts of the county of Westmorland. In a True and perfect Rental of Mr. Stephenson's estate gotout by William Thornburgh, and signed by him and Bishop Dicconson 8 August 1743 , arising out of a part of the estate , a note says there is towards the maintenance of a Pastor in the Barony of Kendal, yearly £ 8. A handsome income is derived at the present time from Stephenson's Charity , which owns valuable property in the town, towards the Catholic schools, and the poor of Kendal. There is a legend that Mass used to be said in an old tavern at the extreme south of Kirkland, called " Hie Comber , but that Catholics had to move from place to place for fear of detection. Although Rev. James Gandy died in Kirkland in 1761 we have no record of a regular place of worship there. All things point to the Catholic chapel being from

probably about 1750 on, or close to, the site where the old chapel of 1793 stood , and where the present church stands , at the north end of the town. Nicolson and Burn, in their History of Westmorland and Cumberland ( 1777 ), for obvious reasons, make no reference to a Catholic chapel , though they refer to other places of worship and to a particularly large Quaker Meeting House," but a building used as a Catholic chapel stood near the latter at that time . The Catholic Relief Bill, allowing Catholic chapels to be built, was only passed in 1791. It is not improbable that the building used as a chapel was one of the houses in the town belonging to Robert Stephenson . Rev. Thomas Wilkinson wrote in the Registerwhich he sent to the RegistrarGeneral in 1840 the mission was founded about 1724. The first clear account of the site of a Catholic chapel is given by Cornelius Nicholson in his Annals of Kendal, 1832 , whereinhe says " The Roman Catholic meeting house stands in a confined yard on the east side of Stramondgate . was built in 1793 on the site of an indifferent building which had for an uncertain number of years before that been used as a place of worship by the Roman Catholics. " may be noted that the area of country covered by this register It , 20 miles from east to west, and about the was about 400 square miles same distance north to south, practically half the area of the county ; much of wild moorland, and difficult of access ; this will give some idea of the hard labour in walking and riding imposed on the priests described herein. The first record which the writer has been able to find of a priest at Kendal is that of Dom James (Wilfrid ) Witham , O.S.B. , of the ancient family of that name long located at Cliffe on the Tees, near Darlington ; no doubt the James s. Mr. John Wytham, Roman Catholic, baptised 26 July 1696. * Professed at the monastery of Lambspring, in Germany , 25 Jan. 1715. Sent on the mission to the Northern Province, he was at Whenby, Yorks., near the present Ampleforth , 1721-30 ; he then served the district between Whitehaven and Kendal ; returned for a while to Lambspring 1731. Returned to the Northern Province and was again at Whenby 1733-37 ; Bedale in Wensleydale 1737-43 ; elected Prior of Lambspring; died there 9 Sept. 1764. Dom William Bede Hutton, O.S.B. , a native of Eldon, Co. Durham, was professed at Lambspring 8 Dec. 1713; ordained 1720; came on the English mission 1731. He went to Blaydon, Co. Durham ; was at Kendal 1735 ; then went as chaplain to the Charltons of Hesleyside , Northumberland, to succeed Rev. John Donaghue , in 1747 , and died there 29 May 1756. The Benedictine records do not state how long he was at Kendal or neighbourhood. We cannot say who was the Papist priest which the Kendal Parish Register says married John Borwick and Dorothy Jackson both of Kendal 31 May 1739; his name is not given. The Rev. Sir William Anderson or Anderton, a student of Valladolid, was at Stockton, Co. Durham, some years after 1736, and also at Sunderland . From a note in an old breviary, & he went away from Kendal 28 Nov. 1739 to Mr. Anderson at Sir John Fleetwood's at Newton, near Chester . He was probably only on a visit, as he was

at Crathorne, Yorks. , the previous month; afterwards worked at Ugthorpe, Yorks., where he was arrested in 1745 and confined in jail. Died suddenly in London 28 Aug. 1759. Rev. James Gandy, alias Leyburne, a younger son of William Gandy of Beetham , a parish south of Kendal, and his wife Eleanor. Born 2 June 1698 ; took the College oath at Douay 23 April 1716; ordained 4 Dec. 1722, and left for the mission 20 Aug. 1726 ; is stated to have been the first resident priest in Kendal. He probably went direct from college to the Robert Hall (now Hornby) mission , Lancs.; he also attended to the chapel at Claughton, near Garstang , " till his withdrawal to Kendal in 1754 Liverpool Diocesan Almanack . *HallThe 1740 , and then was compelled for 1887 says he served Robert till to retire and sought refuge in his native town of Kendal." From notes which he left, of money given to priests for masses , Fr. Gandy was evidently living in Kendal before 1745-46 . He died in Kirkland, Kendal, 4 Sept., and the Parish Register notes his burial in the parish churchyard- 6 Sept. 1761 , Rev. Mr. James Gandy of Kirkland, papist priest." Amongst the names of priests he mentions are Revs .

Thomas Roydon, Joseph Barnes , Skelton, Parkinson, Sergeant , Caton, and Carter, none of whom, except the first two, we have any reason to believe lived about Kendal . Rev. Joseph Barnes , a great ornament of Douay, " as Bishop Gradwell calls him, was born 29 Sept. 1713 ; took the College oath at Douay on the Feast of the Ascension 1732; ordained 9 June 1739; and was professor of Philosophy there in March 1742. He left for the English mission 22 July 1743 , and probably came to Kendal soon after, and was certainly here 23 April 1745, when Thomas Coupland and On Eliza Holme were married " by Papist priest Mr. Barnes . 22 Nov. the same year Kendal was enlivened by the arrival of the army of Prince Charles Edward, the Young Pretender , on their march

south, when the prince slept in Stricklandgate; the following month they returned pursued by the Duke of Cumberland . Fr. Barnes probably remained in Kendal until 1752-53 , when he went as chaplain Edward to Sir Edward Blount at Mawley, Shropshire , succeeding Rev. Bartlett, who left in 1752. He died at Mawley 20 August 1761 , only a few weeks before Mr. Gandy died in Kendal. It will be seen that both Frs. Barnes and Gandy were together for some years at Kendal, and it is a puzzle to find the reason for two priests in this small community, especiallywhen we know that a priest was also living at Dodding Green , only a mile and a halffrom the town . Neither do we know what position they bore to one another whether Fr. Barnes was assistant to Fr. Gandy, nor whether any tragedy is implied in the remark that Fr. Gandy was " compelled to leave " Robert Hall and seek a home in Kendal. He probably came here to live with friends; a Thomas Gandy was mayor of Kendal in 1785. The Rev. Thomas Johnson the name he always used, and under which he was buried, although his real name was Middlehurst evidently took over the duties after the death of Rev. James Gandy in 1761 .

With his brother Anthony, like himself under age, his brother William and sister Anne, children of William and Eleanor Gandy, were mentioned as interested in property at Beetham in the return under the Act of 1715 (English Catholic Non-jurors of 1715, by E. E. Estcourt and J. O. Payne, p. 283 ). C.R.S., iv, 321 . C.R.S., xii, 10.

A son of John Middlehurst and Elizabeth Culcheth, he was born in Lancashire 7 March 1732, and admitted to the English College, Rome , 21 Jan. 1746; ordained 24 Nov. 1754; left for the mission24 Feb. 1755. Strickland Dr. Kirk says that he was " many years chaplain to of Sizergh , and was tutor to his son the late Thomas S. Standish, with whom he travelled to Rome and resided with him in the Mazarine College. On his return he continued chaplain to the family and had the care of the Catholics about Kendal, to which place he afterwards retired in consequence of blindness and the infirmities of old age One cannot reconcile some of Dr. Kirk's statements about him , but the travels and residence in Rome referred to, must have been before Dec. 1762 , as whoever succeeded James Gandy began the old Register of Kendal (nowin Somerset House) , the first date in which is Dec. 1762 , and the small, neat Latin entries appear to be in the same handwriting, certainly down to 8 Nov. 1788. It looks as if it might be anotherhandwriting from March 1789 down to Dec. 1791, the last in very poor writing, but possibly the loss of sight, which affected Fr. Johnson in his latter years, was then stealing over him. Rev. Thomas Wilkinson evidently made the entry of 19 Aug. 1792, where a new handwriting commences, which continues to the last entry in the Register 2 Oct. 1840. He sent up the Register to Somerset House 27 Oct. 1840, and writes therein that he had the custody of since 1792, and he also refers to " my predecessor Mr. Thos . Johnson . may then be assumed that Fr. Johnson had charge of the missionfrom 1762 till 1792 , and afterwards

" It

lived in Kendal, probably with Fr. Wilkinson , until his death there 16 April 1817, and on 19th of same month Rev. Thomas Johnson , " Kendal, papist priest aged 87 was buried. He was blind for many years , but could say great part of Breviary by heart. He no doubt officiated in the original building at the back of Stramondgate, but the building of the chapel of 1793 on the same site would be the workof his successor, Fr. Wilkinson , at that time a young and vigorous man . Of the early life of Rev. Thomas Wilkinson comparatively little is known. He is supposed to have been born in the neighbourhood of Hornby, Lancs . , Nov. 1762, and the name he used was an alias adopted when he entered Douay 2 Aug. 1776 probably the last priest to use one his family name being Berrington . He was master of Rhetoric at Douay, and had under him many who distinguished themselves in later life, amongst them the celebrated Biblical scholar and writer , Rev. George Leo Haydock, who ended his days on the Penrith mission in 1849 , an old man before his master. He left Douay for the mission 20 July 1792, and arrived at Kendal as assistant to Rev. Thomas Johnson . He had practical charge of the mission from his arrival in 1792 until he retired in 1853, 61 years . It is probable that his first work was the building of the chapelwhich Cornelius Nicholson says was built in 1793 , and which after the building of the presentchurch in 1837 was used as a museum and lecture room, but eventually became the Catholic school . Under his jurisdiction , too, the present church of The Holy Trinity and St. George was built, at a cost of about £4,000 . The foundation stone was laid in Oct. 1835, and the church was opened and dedicated 15 Sept. 1837, facing on to the New Road, which was made in 1787, and near the old building of 1793. He presented an organ to the church at a cost of £600, but many years later it was renKirk's Biographies of English Catholics , p. 141. Dr. R. Gradwell's notes, Aug. 1817.

dered useless by floods from the river. Over the high altar of the church there is a memorial window to Fr. Wilkinson . Born and educated under the penal laws , Fr Wilkinson lived to see , not only the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act, but the restoration of the Hierarchy in 1850, when the saintly Dr. Hogarth, whom he would have known as a boy, was elected first Bishop of Hexham. He saw four of the priests of Dodding Green laid in Kendal churchyard, he lived under nine Vicars-Apostolic and one bishop, and during his residence at Kendal five of them passed away. He no doubt spent a quiet peaceful life in the little town, attending to the wants of his flock and to his church ministrations , and in his leisure time interesting himself amongst his large collection of books . For a good many years , during a vacancy, he served also the missionat Dodding Green. In 1843 , when age was beginning to tell he was then about 80 he got the assistance of the young priest Rev. Ralph Platt, afterwards Provost (see supra, under Dodding Green), who remained until August 1847 , and after him came Rev. James Gibson , who ultimately succeeded on the mission. In 1853 Fr. Wilkinson retired and went to live at Ushaw College, to which he had been a generous benefactor he was evidently a man of means and where more than one memorial of him may be seen . He may be said to be the founder of the College library, for to it he gave his valuable collection of thousands of books , and spent his last days superintending their arrangementon the library shelves . On the wall, close to the library entrance, hangs his portrait, painted by James Ward in 1832. He was given the title of Father, at a time when " it was not used by English Catholics of secular priests , probably because of its singular appositeness , and because of his patriarchal years . He was a quaint, pathetic figure at Ushaw , one of a generation and a time long since passed away, and here he died 30 Dec. 1857, aged 95, and was laid in the College cemetery, where his tombstone records his generosity to the college . Rev. James Gibson , who had been assistant to Fr. Wilkinson since 1847, succeeded him on the mission in 1853. Descended from a family who had given to the church two Vicars Apostolic and many priests secularand regular, he was the 2nd son of Thomas Gibson of Newcastleon - Tyne and Housesteads, Northumberland, merchant, by Margaret, daughter of Samuel Cayley of Uphall, Lincs. Born in the city of Durham, where the family were temporarily residing owing to their house having been damaged by fire, on 29 July 1817, he went as a boy to Sedgeley Park school , and afterwards to Ushaw. Here he was ordained 24 Sept. 1842, and afterwards spent about a year in Berwick ; thence he went to Bishop Auckland, Co. Durham, in succession to Canon Luke Curry. He built St. Wilfrid's church there, and in 1847 was transferred to Kendal, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a Canon of the Old Chapter, and on the death of his friend Canon Curry in 1890 was elected Dean of the rural deanery of St. Hubert . An energetic priest, he improved the church and worked for the new schools. He was beloved by his people , who on the celebration of his priestly jubilee in 1892 made him a handsome present . His health had been failing for years , and after four months confinement to bed he passed away in his sleep on 11 Jan. 1895. A fine memorial window in the church was erected by the congregation, and the " Dean Gibson Memorial Schools , " built in 1899 whilst Fr. Stevenson was in charge , perpetuate his name . He had spent 48 years in the parish 42 years

as pastor. The united pastorate of Frs . Wilkinson and Gibson covers the long period of 103 years . Fr. Gibson's younger brother Joseph was in charge of the Alnwick mission , Northumberland, for 35 years , and he died there in 1890 . Rev. William H. Stevenson succeeded. Born in London 17 July 1853 , his grandfather was Alexander Stevenson , Writer to the Signet, Edinburgh. He went to Ushaw when about 9 years of age, wherehis cousin , the late Provost Consett , held a Professorial Chair, and there he was ordained 5 Oct. 1879. His first mission was at St. Mary's, Carlisle , under Canon Waterton, where he remained till 1881. Thence he went to St. Mary's Cathedral, Newcastle -on- Tyne, 1882-85 , and in the latter year took charge of the new mission of Windermere. He served Dunston, Co. Durham, 1886-87 , and was at Prudhoe -on -Tyne March 1888 to June 1891 ; his name is on the foundation-stone of the new church erected there by Mrs. Matthew Liddell . From 1891 to 1894 he had charge of Coxlodge , near Newcastle -on -Tyne, then for a short time at Penrith, when he was transferred to Kendal on the death of Dean Gibson early in 1895. At Kendal he spent the rest of his lifeover 32 years . In Nov. 1926 he was elected Canon of the new diocese of Lancaster, when his congregation presented him with canonical robes. He had been failing in health for some time and died at Kendal after a painful illness 5 Aug. 1927. He was buried alongside his predecessor, Dean Gibson , in the Public Cemetery , Parkside Road , Kendal. The Rev. Henry Gillett succeeded and is still in charge . By Apostolic Constitution of 22 Nov. 1924 the Mission of Kendal was transferred from the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle to the new Diocese of Lancaster. have pleasure in stating that our memberMr. J.

THE REGISTER . This volume is now in the General Register Office at Somerset House , where it is described as " WestmorelandNon-Parochial Register No. 5. measures about 7 × 4 inches , and consists of two portions, made up of sheets of plain white paper folded to a rather smaller size and unpaged (pagination here supplied) . It has been rebound with cloth back and morocco labels , lettered " 3928 Westmoreland 5 ; the leaves are somewhat discoloured ; both sides are written upon. There is a blank flyleaf of the original paper, and the entries commence at the top of page 1 , without any heading. Inside the upper cover is a blank leaf, inserted by the binder, together with a folded certificate, on the usual printed form, 11 x8 inches , as follows [the words in italics were written in by Fr Wilkinson : ] CERTIFICATE OR STATEMENT, TO ACCOMPANY REGISTER BOOKS . To the Commissioners for inquiring into the State Custody and Authenticity of Non- parochial Registers.

Tho this Chapel was founded about the year 1724 as specified, yet it does not appear that any sort of Register was kept till the year 1762 at least none ever came into the possession of my predecessor the Revd Thos Johnson Thos Wilkinson . or my ownThe transcription of the Register was commenced by our member, Mr. R. M. Glencross, some years ago. On reaching the year 1784, however , pressure of other work prevented him from continuing, but a generous donation from another member enabled the Society to secure its completion. Thanks are due to the Registrar-General for permission to copy this Register , and to the officials for courteously affording facilities in the process.

There is preserved in the Presbytery at Kendal an abstract or tabular summary, in English giving dates of births but not of baptisms --of the names in this Register , probably made by the Rev. Thomas Wilkinson for reference when dispatching the Register to London in 1840. Variations occur in some of the names given, and in addition the following entries not found in the Register appear at the head of the list: 1742. Matthew Derome born Sept. 5, 1742. 1744. Richard Derome born Apl. 15 , 1744. 1747. Elizabeth Derome born April 20, 1747. 1748. Thomas Derome born Dec 21 , 1748. 1750. Mary Derome born Oct. 12, 1750. 1757.

No. III . THE CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF READING (1780-1840) AND WOODLEY LODGE ( 1802-1869), BERKS. TRANSCRIBED

AND EDITED, WITH HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION , BY

THE REV. ROBERT ELLIOTT SCANTLEBURY .

In 1539 the Franciscan House in Reading , known as " Greyfriars was surrendered to Henry VIII by Peter Schefford , the last Guardian, when Reading Abbey (a Cluniac foundation) was likewise surrendered and its last Abbot, Blessed Hugh Cook Faringdon, executed . Whether the Franciscans continued to minister in the neighbourhood we know not, but the first priests who came into touch with Reading later were of this Order. The town of Reading , itself without a Mission, had on three sides of it Catholic residences with Franciscan chaplains attached: Ufton Court * (seat of the Perkins family), at a distance of eight miles; Mapledurham, on the other side of the Thames , in Oxfordshire (residence of the Blount family) ; and nearer home , at a distance of two miles , the Englefield family's seat at Whiteknights, Berks (see infra). In 1630 two Franciscan districts under Guardians were appointed by the First Provincial Chapter, one of London, the other of Reading or Berkshire. The Reading district included Berkshire, Hants and Sussex. In 1647 the districts were re-arranged and Reading gave way to Oxford (The Franciscans in England, by Father Thaddeus , O.F.M., 1898, p . 56) .

The severity of the Penal Laws made itself felt in Reading as elseIn a list of Recusants confined in the " Gatehouse " Prison (in the old gate to the Close " of Westminster Abbey) , dated March

where .

1583 , occurs :

" Thomas Edwardes som time have used the treade of a Chanler

in Reddinge , sente in by the L. Bishop of London and the Highe Commissioners a yeare since (C.R.S. , ii , 225). " He appears to be the Thomas Edwardes mentioned in an entry in a list of prisoners committed to the " Counter " of the Poultry, near St. Mildred's Church, commencing29 July, 1577 : Tho. Edwardes comitted the xx of June 1578 brought in by " . Norrys purc & dd by Norris the xxjth day of the same monthe (C.R.S. , i, 65).

A Mrs Buckley was in the common gaol at Readingin January 1582, for refusing to come to church ( Victoria County History of Berkshire , , 37).

A limited number of copies of the Catholic Register of Ufton Court , 1764 to 1828, were printed privately by the late Frederick Arthur Crisp in 1889 . Thaddeus Hermans, O.F.M., author of several other works, was born Hasselt, Belgium , 13 Dec. , 1844, and died 31 Aug., 1916 (see Obituaryin at The Tablet, 9 Sept., 1916) .

Richard Deane brought two men whiche he had taken neere Marlowe, by vertue of a warrant to him directed and made from the Parlyament , supposinge them to be Popishe preistes or semynaries, and required the said Maiour to tender to them the Oathes of Supremacyeand Alleageance accordinge to the statute .

A religious Census taken of the Deanery of Reading in 1676 shows how very few in these parts were the Catholics known to the

In Reading itself there were but two Catholics in the parish of St. Laurence , and one Catholic family in the parish of St. Mary. At Binfield there were 24 Romanists , several families of this faith, including the Dancastles , residing in this parish. Cookham had 16 Papists, and Inglefield the same number, the latter being principally represented by the Englefields . Shinfield returned 10 Recusants the principal Romanist family here was that of the Garrards , a branch of the Lambourne house, all of whom were ardent Royalists At Ufton there were 28 members of the proscribed faith, consistingchiefly of the Perkinses and their household .

Soon after the Dissolution a house was erected , which as will be seen below was destined to fulfil an important part in the revival of the Faith in Reading . It was built as a dower -house for the Vachell family, who then owned also the hamlet of Coley, * and was a fine house

of the period, standing in the fields.

shownlater in the mapprefixed It isAntiquities to the Rev. Charles Coates History and of Reading, 1802 , as Lady Vachell's house, on the south side of Hosier Street. Lady Vachell, who gave her name to the house, was the widow of Sir Thomas She was also a deVachell, and a daughter of Sir Francis Knollys. scendantof Thomas Vachell, recusant 1592 (see V.C.H. Berks . , ii, 38). has since been converted into a block of tenements called " Finch's Buildings," its backbeingon the street, while the frontage has plots and gardens . The building is " two stories in height, with one in the roof. The walls of the ground stage are of stone and flint, relieved with bands of narrow brick, but they have been much renewed with modern brickwork " ( V.C.H. Berks ., iii, 337). Father Bonaventure Parry, O.S.F. , writing in 1704, tells us that Fr Grimston, O.S.F. , did once hire a chamber in the townof Reading for the convenience of poor Catholics to serve God, but know not whether he has it now. This Fr. Martin Grimston came on the English Mission in 1695 (Franciscans in England, p. 176) . In 1741 Bishop Challoner made a Visitation in these parts and speaks of a large congregationof 300 Catholics in the neighbourhood of Reading , grouping them under the headings " Reading , Whiteknights, Herst [Hurst] and Finschams -this last being probably the seat of the Catholic family of Tattersall at Finchampstead (Life and Times of Bishop Challoner , by Canon Burton , vol . i , p . 176).

For the general history of the early years of the Reading Mission we have one valuable source of information , viz. the Cowslade MS., preserved in the Diocesan Archives at Portsmouth. This document embodies the memories of the grandmother of the Miss Cowslade who was its author § . It must be remembered , however, that the Cowslade MS. does notlay claim to any greater authority than commonlyattaches to reminiscences by one person of the recollections of another, and that some of the events it purports to recount occurred very many years before the document was written. Mr. J. Cyril M. Weale, who has taken great interest in the early history of the Reading Mission, where his late brother was for many years Missionary Rector, has supplied the following essentialfacts, by the light of which it has been possible to attempt a reconstruction of the sequence of earlier events narrated by Miss Cowslade. In the Cowslade MS. a Mrs. Anne Maria Smart, widow of Christopher Smart , the poet, is said to have come to Reading in 1752 , having been sent by her relatives to take charge of the sole County newspaper , the Reading Mercury. She is said to have come from respectable Berks. , iii, 364 . * See V.C.H. The Streets and Street Love of Reading, by A. L. Humphreys, F.S.A., F.R.G.S. [1926 , p. 23 . ] , iii, 345. A view of this building is given in V.C.H. Berks. There were § two Miss Cowslades , Eleonora (b. Dec. 6, 1792) and Matilda Mary (b. March 5, 1794) , but it is not known which was responsible for the MS. They were the daughters of Thomas Cowslade (d . 1806) and Mary Anne Smart (d . 1809) , the latter being the elder daughter of Christopher Smart and Anna Maria Carnan (d. May 16, 1809).

Catholic ancestry, and to have had two daughters , Marianne and Elizabeth, whom she sent for three years to the Ursuline Convent at Boulogne for their education. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Anna Maria Smart only married in 1753, and did not become a widow until 1771.* Christopher Smart, her husband , who was a Fellow of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge , got into trouble with the college authorities in November 1753 on their discovery of the marriage, and though the difficulty is said to have been smoothed over in January of the following year, Smart turned his back on Cambridge and went to earn a living with his pen in London, where he had lodgingsin Canonbury House , Islington . Here his two daughters, Mary Anne and Elizabeth Anne, were born, the latter about 1755. Smart was in confinementfor two years in an asylum ( the Encycl. In 1759 . says from 1756 to 1758 ) , and in 1763 was a prisoner Brit in the King's Bench Prison , and again in 1768 , in the " Rules of which he died, as " already stated, on May 21 , 1771. It was probably somewhere about this period (1759) that Mrs. Smart, being in straitened circumstances , went to reside for a time in Dublin with her sister-in-law (Mary Anne Smart), who had married in 1750 Richard Falkiner, of Mount Falcon, Tipperary. It would appear, therefore, that Mrs. Smart could not have gone to Reading to take charge of The Oxford Gazette and Reading Mercury, at John Newbery, Mrs. Smart's step -father, any rate, much before 1763 . who owned this journal , died Dec. 22, 1767, and by his will (executed Oct. 21, 1767) with Codicil (Nov. 27, 1767 ) he left of his Reading business and newspaper a moiety to John Carnan (Mrs. Smart's brother) , and the other moiety to his son Francis Newbery " upon trust and to and for the sole use and benefit of my Daughter in Law [step-daughter Anna Maria ] Smart," who inherited besides one-fifteenth part of the residue of the

estate .

Both at the King's Bench and the Fleet debtors were allowed to purchase what were called the ' Rules,' which enabled them to live within a certain area outside the prison, and practically left them free. They paid a certain percentage of their debts. In Smart's case the Rules were obtained for him by the kindness of his brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas"Carnan " (The Poems of the late ChristopherSmart, 1791, p. xxvi). Dict . Nat.

Of Mrs. Smart's " Catholic ancestry " no trace has been found . Her mother's maiden name is given as Carnan in Records of the House of Newbery (p . 74), and from John Newbery's Will it is known that her baptismal name was Mary. She died in January 1780 , aged 73 (A Bookseller of the Last Century , p. 145). When Mrs. Smart arrived in Reading there was but one (known) Catholic, a woman named Flowers , inmate in a Protestant almshouse. For some time Mrs. Smart and her family attended Mass at Whiteknights and Mapledurham. Later she rented a room in Minster Street, Reading , and hither at long intervals Father G. A. Baynham, O.S.F. , would come from Ufton Court to say Mass. The Reading Registers date from this period. The first baptism entered was on August 18th, 1783 , but further on, underthe heading Mariages , were married James Payne & there is an entry dated April 1780: Elizabeth Masters (at Sr Henry Englefield's house in London) . Witnesses , J. Parret & Ruth Elvins . G. A. Baynham. Father Baynham's last entry is that of a baptism on March 8th, 1794; the next entry is by a French priest, the Abbé Louis Loriot, of the diocese of Séez , dated 18th January, 1795. At this period, then, must be placed the Presbytery established in one of the block of houses known as " Finch's Buildings, in Hosier Street, which had been acquired by Mrs. Smart's younger daughter, Elizabeth, who in 1795 married the Chevalier Jean Baptiste le Noir de la Brosse, a French émigré (the elder daughter was married to Mr. Thomas Cowslade on Feb. 2 , 1783 , by Father Baynham at Reading ). Hither in the winter of 1792-93 Miss Smart invited four refugee priests who were awaiting the orders of the British Government at Dover. Later they were joined by a fifth . The youngest of this group is known to us by name the Abbé Pierre Louis Guy Miard de la Blardière. Another may have been the priest whose death is recorded in The Reading Mercury, March 25, 1793. The entries are continued in the Register by the Abbé Loriot, who mentions two priests of the diocese of Rouen who acted as sponsors at Baptism on several occasions , Jean Nicolas Gondré (als. Gondray) and Toussaint Le Quien. On the resumption by the Government in 1796 of the " King's House at Winchester for military purposes , the large colony of French priests congregated there had to be dispersed , and the Government assigned the old posting hostelry The King's Arms Inn in Castle Street, Reading , and Sir Francis Knollys ' untenanted mansion on the south side of the high street at Thame , in Oxfordshire, for their prietor and editor of The Oxford Gazette and Reading Mercury, in 1730. The latter died in 1737, " leaving all his property and his business to his brother Charles and to John Newbery (Records of the House of Newbery from 1274 " , 1911 , p . 4), who in due course married to 1910, by Arthur Le Blanc Newbery

Mrs. Carnan.

In Records of the House of Newbery (p. 74) the date given is Jan. 30, 1780, and her age as 67. Mons . The announcementin The Reading Mercury reads : Died l'Abbe Jeane Mané Manul, one of the unfortunate French Refugee Clergy. The Laity's Directory for 1795 includes in its Obituary: En 1793 R. Jean Marie Manul . " Careful search in the Diocesan Archives at Bayeux . has failed to disclose any trace of a priest of that name Furthermore, is not certain that the death in question occurred in Reading (see p. 188). A view of this edifice, as appeared before the disastrous fire of 1894, is given in Robert Mudie's Hampshire (Winchester, 1838) , , 76.

partial accommodation. To Reading came mostly priests from Normandy, while the house at Thame was exclusively occupied by Bretons .* The Reading house was placed under the administration of the Abbé Noël Paul Thomas Martin, Vicar -General of Lisieux , who from Nov. 22, 1792 , had been the head of the King's House settlement at Winchester . Born on July 6, 1745, at Secqueville -en-Bessin, in the diocese of Bayeux, he joined the Society of Eudist Fatherson Aug. 1 , 1767, and on Nov. 11 , 1770, shortly after his ordination, was incorporated in their house at Caen , whence soon afterwardshe was sent to the Grand Séminaire at Lisieux, of which he was president at the outbreak of the Revolution. On his refusal to take the oath prescribed by the Civil Constitution of the Clergy , he was ordered to be imprisoned, but succeeded in evading arrest and eventually secured a passport on Sept. 9, 1793 , and landed in England shortly afterwards. He returned to France in 1803 and lived in retirement at Caen until his death on Dec. 31 , 1811. Monsieur Martin ," quotes Canon Plasse approvingly (i, 366), " par son" instruction, sa piété et ses bonnes manières , était un des membres les plus distingués de la Congrégation des Eudistes. eût été général sans la Révolution. The following document gives a succinct account of the growth of Reading House , as the new settlement was officially called: Bordereau du 22 Septembre au 31 Decembre 1796. Le 22 Septemb.

In the monthly indent for sustentation funds for December 1797 the number of the inmates in Reading House is given as 231 à 232," and that of refugee priests in Reading Town as 104 ( in November was 106). A full list of all the French refugee priests in Reading supplied by the Abbé Martin , which Mr. Weale has found, with the foregoing document, in the Public Record Office (T. 93.45 , Pt. 1), contains the names of 342 ecclesiastics . The document is not dated, but from intrinsic evidence it must have been produced between Aug. 17, 1798 , and April 14, 1800.

Formerly the title of Vicar- General in France was a first step towards the episcopate. It was a distinction , not an office; and an ecclesiastic in one diocese might at the same time be vicar-general to the bishop of another. An instance will be found on p. 182, in the entry of burial No. 68 . The Society of Jesus and Mary, or Eudist Fathers, was founded at Caen in 1643 by St. Jean Eudes , a native of the diocese of Séez, who died Aug. 19, 1680, aged 74. Its main objects were the training of men for the priesthood and the giving of missions . The Eudists' Grands Séminaires , all Brittany, were lost to them in the Revolution , since when in Normandy and their activities were restricted to missionary work and secondary education until the Law of Associations of 1906 deprived them of the right to teach. The Eudists, however, are not a religious order or congregation, but an ecclesiastical body under the immediate jurisdiction of the bishops, and bound by no religious vows.

In Reading House the priests lived their life in common, with Masses each day from 5 a.m. till noon, and High Mass on Sundays and Feast-days, and also daily Benediction, in their chapel, which, accordingto the Abbé Gilles Julien Le Sage (in a letter dated Reading, 3 mars , 1801 , published in the St. James Parish Magazine , Reading, for December 1915 ) , would hold 400 people . There is a view of this interesting building in Plasse ( ii , 242 ) , and the lay-out of the premises and surroundingsis shown in the Plan published as a frontispiece to Charles Coates History and Antiquities of Reading ( 1802 ). On the 16th of July, 1802 , owing to the greatly reduced number of refugee priests left in the country, an order was issued, by the Committee in London appointed to succour them, to close the King's Arms on August 2 of that year (Plasse, ii, 243) . Several , however, of its inmates remained in Reading to continue, with occasional assistance from their confrères in the neighbourhood, the work begun in the

Hosier Street presbytery. From Reading most of the refugee priestsreturned to France , but a few stayed behind in England, of whom some were retained by political scruples , while others remained to help in the ministry, with the approbation of the Vicars Apostolic. The Abbé Loriot's last entry in the Register is of a marriageon April 6th, 1802. After that date he disappears , and his place is taken by the Abbé Godquin, who baptizes during the months of August and September 1802; he appears again as Sponsor in September 1804, and again as having baptized " by half with common water in De-

cember 1810 .

In the latter half of 1803 the Abbé de la Blardière went as domestic chaplain to the Wheble family at Woodley Lodge (now Bulmershe Court), Earley, on the outskirts of Reading , where he kept the separate register given below , an entry in which informs us that all parcchial faculties were granted to him on December 1, 1807. For some months previous to his removal to Woodley Lodge he had habitually attended there from Reading on Sundays and Feast-days to say Mass. On the first page of the Woodley Lodge Register is an entry of twins baptized by the Abbé de la Blardière , Sept. 2nd, 1802. After that he appears only as a witness to baptisms by Father William Allan (of Isleworth), July 9th, 1803, and May 19th, 1805, and to a marriage on May 1st, 1804, and to another marriage by Father Thomas Webster ) on August 13th, 1807. But the whole of the Register , (of Woolhampton is kept entirely by the Abbé de la Blardière . During till the year 1833, his term of office several notable visitors came to Reading : Bishop Milner appears twice in the baptismal register , in 1820 and 1824, as a Sponsor ; William Vaughan (of Courtfield) also visited Bulmershe Court in a similar capacity in 1823 ; in 1829, about a fortnight after the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, Daniel O'Connell stood as godfather to one of Mr. Wheble's sons. On October 3rd, 1802, the Abbé François Longuet entered his first baptism. Miss Cowslade informs us that after the departure of the refugee clergy from the King's Arms, four French priests remained in " Finch's Buildings, of whom the senior , the Abbé Godquin, acquired sufficient English to hear confessions and attend the sick. She notes thearrivalof ayoung priest, the Abbé François Longuet, who by personal privations and teaching French in the town and neighbourhood was at last enabled to build a chapel in Vastern Lane, * on a piece of land * Vastern Lane, according to the map in Coates' History of Reading

(Cowslade MS ) . Tradition points to the present " Rising Sun Inn as being the site of that chapel . William S. Darter, Mayor of Reading 1851-52, in his Reminiscences of Reading, by an Octogenarian (1888) describes the site as opposite the Observer office " (p. 75 ) . The Abbé Longuet laboured here until February 13th, 1817, * when he was cruelly murderedand robbed on his way back from Pangbourne , from the house of Mr. Thomas Morton . The Laity's Directory for 1818 has in its Obituary : 1817, Fevrier 20. François Longuet, prêtre du Diocèse de Séez, 48 ans, followed by a note of the circumstances of the murder (see also Darter's Reminiscences of Reading, pp. 29, 49). The site of the present Pulsometer Works, on the Oxford Road, is stated to have been the scene of this crime. The Abbé Longuet's body was interred in the sanctuary of his Chapel , and after a lapse of twenty-three years the remains were removed to the new Church of St. James, where they repose within the limits of the now enlarged sanctuary. For the next three years the Mission had no resident priest. Two of the aged inmates of Finch's Buildings, the Abbé Godquin_and the Abbé Gondré , continued to serve the Mission in Vastern Lane on Sundays and Festivals, whilst Father Thomas Webster came from Woolhampton at Indulgence times to hear confessions. The Abbé Gondré also said Mass in the neighbouring localities where no priest or chapel was within reach , journeying to the various places on foot. From January 12th to June 1st, 1817, the baptisms are entered by the Abbé Jean Mathurin De Lanoë; then the Abbé Gondré continued the Mission work, his baptisms dating from September 20th, 1818 , to

Part of this old thoroughfare is now called Vastern Road. " " derived its name from a curtilage granted by the Abbey of Reading to the It Friars Minor in 1233 (Victoria County History of Berkshire, iii , 343 ). The name is probably a variant of waestern, a wilderness. John Man conceives to be a corruption of the old law term vastum , a waste or common ( loc. cit.it ).

The Resurrection Chapel is stated to have been on the east side of Vastern Lane (The Town of Reading during the Early Part of the Nineteenth Century, by W. M. Childs, M.A. , p. 54). * The date given in The Laity's Directory (Feb. 20th) does not agree with that found on a brass plate in the sanctuary of St. James ', Reading, which reads: To a deposit directly beneath were translated on the 24th April, 1840, the Rev. Francis Longuet's remains which from the period of the robbery and cruel murder perpetrated upon that worthy pastor of the Catholic congregation of Reading on the 13th Feb. , 1817, had rested in the Chapel erected by himself out of his own resources in Vastern Street . Mr. A. L. Humphreys, F.S.A. , in Notes and Queries , 11 S. ix (7 Mar. , 1914), p. 191 , also gives the date as Feb. 13th, 1817. The same date likewise appears in The Morning Chronicle, March 5th, 1817, and The London Gazette, 22nd February, 1817. In the latter a reward of 200 guineas is offered for the apprehension of the murderer. Mr. Weale, however, contends that all these dates are wrong, and that the murder actually took place on Feb. 12, the body being found early the following morning . In the account of the murder given in The Laity's Directory for 1818 it is stated that the Abbé left Pangbourne between 8 and 9 o'clockat night: the distance of Pangbourne from Reading is only 5 miles and the Abbé was on horseback,

In 1820 Father Francis Bowland, * the first English secular priest in Reading, came to take charge of the Mission in Vastern Lane, and continued till 1837, during which period he raised contributions for the building of the new church of St. James . Finding he was not to be appointed to it, he retired and was succeeded by Father Thomas Mylius Molteno, whose baptismal entries date from 24th September , 1838, to March Father William Harris then took charge , in March or 8th, 1840. April 1840, and was succeeded in June or July of that year by Dr. Daniel Rock, who administered two baptisms here 19th July and August 2nd, 1840. Mr. Wheble had desired that Dr. Rock should be in charge of the church he had founded and was then erecting, but Dr. Rock was resolute in his refusal. Mr. Wheble had arranged that the new church should be opened on August 5th, 1840 , and had had memorial brass plates with that date placed in the church and on the baptismal font, but he died a few days previous to the date fixed . Nevertheless the church was opened , in accordance with his wishes , on that day by the Bishop and clergy. On November 28th, 1840 , Bishop Thomas Griffiths, Vicar Apostolic of the London District, consecrated the High Altar . Shortly afterwards the Rev. John Ringrose , Missionary Rector, began his ministry here and continued from 1840 to 1874, being made a Canon of Southwark on the Restoration of the Hierarchy in 1850 .

The Catholic Directory shows that this chapel was first served in 1881, and it continued in use for the family and the Catholicsof the district until the death of Mr. Lonergan's widow (obituary in The Tablet of June 23, 1923 ) . There appear to be no records showinghow the chapelwas served during 1881-87, but from 1888 to 1893 it was served by Franciscans . In 1893 by the Rev. Albert George Clarke , B.A. (died in Australia

September 14th, 1926, the Bishop of Portsmouth blessed the new church (dedicated to the English Martyrs) and sang Pontifical High Mass. In 1849 the Venerable Dominic Barberi, who received Cardinal Newman into the Church, died in Reading . Hitherto it has always been said that he died at the Railway Station, but the following extract from the Reading Mercury, Sept. 1st, 1849, gives the exact circumstances : " Sudden Death An instance of the frail tenure of human existence was exemplified in the sudden indisposition and rapid demise of a traveller on the Great Western Railway on Monday last [August 27th]. The much respected gentleman was a catholic priest , known as Father Dominic , of Poplar -house, Westend, Hampstead. He left London in good spirits on Monday morning by the 7-30 train, accompanied by Father Lewes , on his way to Stroud . When near the Pangbourne Station he was suddenly indisposed , and upon being removed from the train symptoms of a choleraic character appeared . The attendance of a medical gentleman (Mr. A. Muggeridge, of this town , who happened to be travelling ) was immediately given, and his complaint ascertained to be disease of the heart . Remedies were applied and application made to the inns for admission, but no room could, as it was stated, be afforded. The unfortunate sufferer was then removed to a cottage, and laid upon some straw on the brick floor for upwards of an hour. Upon the arrival of the up-train he was lifted in and brought to the Railway Tavern at Reading. The prescriptions of the medical gentleman were again applied, and temporary ease was obtained. The spasm at the heart, however, returned with violence, and he expired at 3 o'clock the same afternoon. The medical gentleman certified that death arose from natural causes, which was also confirmed by Mr. F. Hooper." As there is now no " Railway Tavern in Reading , some difficulty has been experienced in locating the scene of the Ven . Father Dominic's death. We are consequently much indebted to the kindness of Mr. H. F. Lindars, of Messrs. H. & G. Simonds , Ltd., who searched the records of his firm's property and succeeded in finding an old lease which definitely established that the present Duke of Edinburgh Hotel, Caversham Road , was known as the " Railway Tavern in 1842.

WHITEKNIGHTS.

This was the seat of the Englefield family, situated about two miles from Reading . Little is known of the early years of the Mission here, and no records prior to Father Baynham's Register of 1780 have come down to us. The first Knight was Sir Francis Englefield (died 1596 ?). The following details of him are given in the Concise Dictionary of National Biography (1903) : " Roman Catholic exile; knighted at Edward VI's coronation, 1547 ; imprisoned for celebrating [? Mass before the Princess Mary 1551; privy councillor 1553 ; Knight of the shire of Berks; placed on the Witchcraft Commission 1555; fled to Valladolid 1564 ; attainted and forfeited 1585, Elizabeth seizing even the estates he had alienated ; pensioned by the King of Spain; corresponded with the Pope and the King of Spain on behalf of Mary Stuart 1586 ; buried at Valladolid . Canon Burton tells us that for very many years the estate of Whiteknights was a Franciscan Mission. The Englefields , who were a very ancient English family, had lost by forfeiture , in the reign of Elizabeth, the Manor of Englefield in Berkshire, which they claimed to have held for seven centuries , and had only managed to retain their estate of Wooton Bassett in Wiltshire . * Sir Henry represented the younger branch of the family, but though he had inherited the Wooton Bassett estates as well as the baronetcy in 1782, he retained his seat at Whiteknights . He was a great friend of the Franciscans , and his brother, Father Felix Englefield, was a member of that Order. The chaplain at Whiteknights was always a Franciscan, and at one time the Titular ' Guardian of London made the house his headquarters, and part of their library was kept there " (Life and Times of Bishop Challoner , vol . i, p . 176) . The requisites for the Chapel in the Hosier Street presbytery (1795) were chiefly from Whiteknights, whence the Englefield family had removed in disgust at the offensive prejudices of the neighbouring gentry (Cowslade MS.). In the Mapledurham Catholic Register the Confirmation of five persons by Bishop Talbot at Whiteknights on 16th July, 1762, is

recorded . The following details of the last Knight are given in the Concise Dictionary of National Biography: Englefield, Sir Henry Charles (1752-1822), antiquary and scientific writer; F.S.A. 1779 ; P.S.A.; directed the Society's issue of engravings of English cathedrals and

FRENCH REFUGEE PRIESTS SERVING IN READING. Pierre Louis Guy Miard de la Blardière , born in 1760 or 1761 and described in the record of his ordination as of Saint-Laurent- du-Tencement, came of an old Norman stock of the haute bourgeoisie . Luc Miard, Sieur de la Blardière , who in January 1772 was in practice as an avocat in the bailliage of Montreuil, may have been his father. Saint -Laurent- du- Tencement, now in the diocese of Evreux, was at that time in the diocese of Lisieux, and Pierre was ordained priest by Mgr. Ferron de la Ferronnays on April 7, 1787. In 1790-91 he was vicaire at Villers (now Villers- en- Ouche in the diocese of Séez). In January 1791 he was called upon to take the oath prescribed by the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, but did so with certain reservations which made it null and void. Whether he was subjected to persecution on this account is not known, but in August 1792 he was living in retirement at 30 , Rue des Capucins, Rouen . Under the law of August 26 of that year which provided for the deportation of priests who , while public officials , had not taken the oath, there appeared on September 7, 1792 , before the Rouen District authority le sieur Pierre Louis Gui Miard, ci - devant vicaire de Villers, district de Laigle, âgé de 31 ans, taille de 5 pieds 2 pouces département de l'Orne , chevx et sourcils bruns , yeux bruns, nez aquilain, bouche moyenne, menton rond, front étroit, visage oval, lequel a déclaré être dans l'intention de se retirer en Angleterre . He probably crossed over from Boulogne to Dover, being one of the four refugee priests brought from the latter town to Reading by Miss Smart, to whom they had been commended by a friend in Boulogne (see supra , p. 122 ) . As a letter of his preserved in the Public Record Office (T. 93.52, Pt. II) testifies , the abbé P. La Blardière , as he usually signed himself , succeeded in maintaining himself by teaching French until September 1797 , when illhealth compelled him to relinquish his engagements and seek assistance from the Relief Committee in London. After Mr. James Wheble had acquired the Woodley Lodge estate in 1801 the abbé served his private chapel from Reading (late in 1802 or early in 1803 ) pending the arrival of the domestic chaplain , presumably the Rev. William Allan, S.J., who figures in some of the early entries in the Woodley Lodge Register , and at some date later than July 3, 1803, on Father Allan relinquishing the post, he succeeded him and removed to Woodley Lodge , where Mr. Wheble provided him with a commodious residence in the grounds within easy reach of the mansion , where the abbé said Mass every morning and performed the services on Sundays for the

.....

In 1779 he made a survey and plan of the ruins of Reading Abbey. His portrait was painted by Sir Thos . Laurence and two bronze medalets of him are preserved in the British Museum . He was never married . He died at his house in Tylney -street, London , on March 21st, 1822, aged 69 years. Before his death he suffered from total or partial loss of sight . He was interred in the ancient burial place of the family in Englefield church. By his death the title became extinct " (Reading Observer, April 4, 1896) .

Here he continued until late in 1833, when at the age of about seventy -three he returned to France, where he was raised to the dignity of an honorary canon, as shown by the inscription on the chalice which he bequeathed , " for which, when he purchased to the Church of St. James at Reading Cowslade he intended this memorial ( , MS. ).

His father was a farmer in a fairly large way. When the Revolution drove him to find a refuge in England he had as yet only received the tonsure, being a student in philosophy at Caen . He landed at Portsmouth and lodged there with a widow named Childe , at No. 2 , Crown Street . He received all his Orders in England.

V.A.L.

THE memory of the late Abbé François Longuet will long be held in grateful esteem by the Catholic Bishop & Clergy of the London District, and particularly by the Catholic Congregation at Reading. Abbé Longuet had for severalyears devoted himself with great zeal to the instructionand sanctification of the People committed to his care ; he was indefatigable in the duties of the sacred ministry & was disinterested and charitable to an edifying degree . He not only supported himself by his own labours, but from what he earned by teaching French at Reading and in the neighbourhood, he raised the means of establishing a new Chapel for the Congregation & an adjoining house for the Clergyman; he had moreover formed a design of promoting a fund for the permanent support of the Pastor of this Congregation which was so dear to him . Although he did not live to accomplish this latter object , yet we hope that he has received the full reward of his charitable design. He was assassinated near the town of Reading by some unknown hand on The whole town of Reading the evening of the 20th February 1817. declared its indignation and grief at the horrid deed, and was unanimous in expressing its high esteem for the virtues & character of Abbé Longuet. A tablet with an appropriate inscription of pious gratitude to his memory is placed in the chapel at Reading which he erected & in which he officiated. WILLIAM Bishop of Halia Vic . Apost. London.

The statement as to the Abbé Longuet's age has apparently never been challenged . Mr. Weale , however, holds a certified copy of the entry of the abbé's baptism in the Parish Registers of Ussy, which reads as follows: Acte de Baptême de M. FRANÇOIS LONGUET. Aujourd'hui vendredy sixième jour du mois de septembre mil sept cent soixante et onze, François, né du jour d'hier du légitime mariage de Vincent Longuet et de Marie Le Boucq, ses pere et mère de cette paroisse, a eté baptisé par nous soussignés Georges Pitrou, prêtre, vicaire de cette

LE MÂLE.) This definitely establishes the fact that the Abbé Longuet's age at the time of his death was 45 years and some five months, and not 48 years as hitherto represented . The accompanying portrait, for which the writer is indebted to Mr. Weale , is reproduced from a photograph of a crayon copy of a small painting in oils (much damaged) , the only portrait in existence of the Abbé Longuet. The crayon copy and photograph were executed by Madame Desprairies, a descendant of the family resident in Bayeux. A ring worn by François Longuet, bearing the arms of France and the motto Pro Deo et Rege, is still preserved in the family. An elder brother, Louis Longuet, was born at Saint-GermainLangot, in the diocese of Bayeux, Feb. 24, 1757, and baptized the following day. He received the tonsure and minor Orders in the church of the Prieuré de Saint - Vigor-le-Grand Sept. 19, 1777, and the major Orders in Bayeux Cathedral in Sept. 1779, 1780 and 1781 respectively. Studied philosophy at the University of Caen 1775 to 1777; followed the courses of theology of Le Clerc de Beauberon 1777 to 1779 and of Macparlan 1779-80 : and took the degree of Master of Arts Feb. 19 , 1782. There is documentary evidence that he was Vicaire of Neauphe , near Séez, in 1786 , and Precentor of the Chapter of Saint-Martin , Tours , in 1791. He was not a public functionary, and therefore not called upon to take the Oath; but the fact that he had not accepted the new order must have been sufficient to mark him out for persecution . He went into hiding in Paris , but was arrested after the 10th of August and imprisoned in " Les Carmes," where he met his death on Sept. 2, 1792. He was beatified on Sunday , Oct. 17, 1926 . The Abbé Jean Mathurin De Lanoë : Vicaire of Boisneyin the diocese of Lisieux ; appears in a volume of Accounts of the Relief Fund kept by a Mr Collier at 7, Prospect Place , between Temple Street and Pitt Street, St. George's Fields, London (Public Record Office , T. 93.23), as drawing the usual monthly allowance on the first day of each month from August to December 1802 inclusive; administered three baptisms January 12th, May 12th and June 1st, 1817. In addition to the provision of the accommodationat the " King's Arms Inn," a plot of ground was reserved close by for the interment of French priests and other French Catholics. No trace of this Cemetery has so far been discovered , but the original Register of the Burials has been found at Bayeux, a condensed transcript of which, made by Mr. Weale , is printed in the Appendix. The names of the witnesses to the interments are valuable for purposes of identification , and also for showing where the individuals were located at the time. Thanks are due to the Right Rev. Monsignor Canon J. H. King, V.G., and J. H.

(A) REGISTER OF READING. This Register (1780-1840) is an ordinary octavo note-book of 124 pages, 7 in . x 4 in. , without covers . commences with Baptisms, without any heading, and is preceded by a written title -page. The pagination, as given, is modern; the pages were originally unnumbered . The first 74 pages contain entries of Baptisms ; then follow five pages for Marriages , after which the Baptisms are resumed and continue to p. 97. Entries of Burials occupy pp. 99 to 102 , followed by six blank pages, and a note of Confirmations, without heading, on p. 109. The book is then reversed, and six pages are devoted to Marriages . The earliest entry, a marriage in April, 1780, is in Father G. A. Baynham's handwriting ; his first baptism is in August, 1783. This Franciscan Father was in residence at Ufton Court, Berkshire, and came occasionally to Sir Henry Englefield's house at Whiteknights , and also said Mass and administered the Sacraments occasionally in a small room in Minster Street, as already described . His entries 17801794 must relate to these two places . The Abbé L. Loriot's baptisms date from 1795 to 1802. Two baptisms by the Abbé Godquin and one by the Abbé Mezière are entered in 1802. Then in October, 1802 , the Abbé François Longuet took charge . In 1812 he built the Chapel of the Resurrection" in Vastern Lane, where he continued his labours until his murder in February, 1817. The aged refugees the Abbé Godquinand the Abbé Gondré officiated for the next three years until the appointment of the first English secular priest, Father Francis Bowland, in 1820 or 1821. The entries from 1795 to 1820 consequently relate to Minster Street, to Finch's Buildings and to the Chapel of the Resurrection in

Vastern Lane. From 1821 to 1837, Father Bowland had charge of the Reading Missionand the entries during those years are all by him. From 1838 to 1840 the entries are by Father Thomas Mylius Molteno. On the opening of the new church a fresh Register was commenced by the Rev. John Ringrose . Father Baynham adopted the rather unusual use of English for the

register entries, and was followed in this by the French refugee priests, with some curious results and spellings in a language with which they were not familiar. The Abbé Loriot's first entry is an example: Sunday 18th January 1795 was baptized Margarita born daughter of Mr Luke Born of the 107 regimenton foot & Margarita Danoly Sponsors James Mekharvay Et Michael Schapel . L. Loriot. " The names are presumably Irish Donelly and McCarthy (? Schapel ), and were written down as they sounded to a French ear. On p. 6 we find the Earl of Schrewsbury . The same priest anglicizes the Abbé Gondré's name, Gondray. Other examples are Sulivan and " legitime (for

" "

"" legitimate )

" .*

supra, p . 126, and C.R.S. , vii, 356. * See The Cowslade MS. has the following passage :

" The most efficient portion of the little flock were travelling Italians carrying goods on their own account or as agents for houses of business . The names of Borelli , Gatti, Cerighetti , and Primavesi are in honour with the remaining old Catholics as earnest and practical supporters of their Faith and its appointed Pastor.

(B) REGISTER OF WOODLEY LODGE. Woodley is a small village two miles east of Reading , and a little distance N.E. of the old Bulmershe Court Estate, which is itself in

the parish of Eurley or Erleigh .

The first known mention of Bulmershe occurs in the reign of Henry II (1154-1189) , when Jocelin , Bishop of Sarum, exchanged with John de Erlegh two virgates of land at Buleneirs (obviously eithera mistranslation or a corrupted form of Bulemers or Bulmershe ) , one of which had been held by Payn, the reeve, for land which John de Erlegh held in Sonning Park. Now it is significant that Bulmershe is not mentioned in the Domesday record made less than a century before the bishop's transaction. In Domesday are clearly indicated two main manors in Earley one held by the King in demesne (Earley Regis, later called Erleigh St. Nicholas or Erleigh Whiteknights ) and the other held of the King by Osbern Giffard (later Erleigh St. Bartholomew) . It is clear therefore that the tract of land, Buleneirs , " was at one time part of one of the Earley manors, probably Erleigh St. Bartholomew (Ernest W. Dormer, Berks, Bucks and Oxon Archaological Journal, vol . 31 [ 1927 , p. 225). ]

The Estate was formed by James Wheble, Esq., in 1818.

" Before

this time there was standing in the park a house known as Woodley Lodge (now Bulmershe Court), which had been in the possession of the father of James Wheble and was afterwards sold , either by him or at his death, to other owners , among whom was Addington, afterwards Viscount Sidmouth, and from whom it was repurchased by James Wheble in 1801 " (Ibid., p. 216). The mission makes its first appearance in the Laity's Directory Woodley Lodge, near Reading . Rev. P. in the issue for 1824: Labladiere." The house was sold a few years ago.

of the Wheble family, to whom the Abbé P. La Blardière was Domestic Chaplain. From 1802 to August, 1833 , the entries are all in his handwriting, even the Baptisms and Marriages by Father William Allen (of Isleworth) and Father Thomas Webster (of Woolhampton). From Nov. , 1833 , to the end the entries are those of Father John Ringrose .

The volume is bound in red leather, with gilt edges , and measures inches . The first 47 leaves bear a pencilledframe design , within which the entries are written upon one side of the paper only, but thereafter on both sides of the paper. The leaves are numbered as folios as far as 28 only, but numbering has been continued here for the remainder of the volume. The first leaf is blank; the second has an elaborate cross, worked in pink and gold paper, pasted on it, surrounded with an ornamental design in pencil. The five next leaves have been left unused . The eighth is inscribed as a title -page, ,the back being left blank, and the Register commences on the next leaf with numbered folios .

APPENDIX. REGISTER OF BURIALSIN THE OLD FRENCH CEMETERY AT READING .

(Contributed by Mr. J. Cyril M. Weale . ) The following document explicitly declares that a plot of ground was reserved for the interment of French priests and other French Catholics close by the establishment in Reading set apart for the housing of French refugee ecclesiastics . The original record of burials in this new Cemetery is preserved , in duplicate, in the Diocesan Archives at Bayeux ; a third original copy is now missing . The first twenty -six pages of the Register contain the entries of burials of French priests and other French Catholics who died in the King's House at Winchester, or in that town and its vicinity, as from January 1 , 1793, to the number of 63. The next twelve pages contain the entries of burials of priests belonging to Reading House during the whole period of its occupation; these number 36, but between entries 84 and 85 is recorded , unnumbered, a burial at Caversham of a priest who, no doubt , was not a resident of that establishment. The Reading section is followed by fourteen blank pages and a blank end -leaf, and the whole document is enclosed in a dark pasteboard cover. The pages are 12 x 8 inches . The Register is entitled Registre pour servir à l'Enregistrement des Sépultures de M les Ecclésiastiques François & autres François Emigrés , décédés au Château Royal & dans la Ville & environs de Winchester en Angleterre depuis le 1er Janvier 1793. There is no separate heading to the Reading section . In the following transcript the first entry is reproduced verbatim, but in the case of all others only the essential particulars are given, and where the signatures in the original differ from the official record of witnesses ' names and status these differences are shown in italic type between brackets ; with regard to names of places , the more modern spelling has been followed.

APPENDIX

These names are not to be found in the Obituaries of The Laity's Directory, which contain no less than 1,007 entries. With the possible exception of the Abbé Jacques Noblet, none of these priests resided in Reading House . The Abbé Paul Charles Le Blanc belonged to the diocese of Angers , and appears in the Reading Town accounts preserved in the Public Record Office (T.93.45 , Pt. 1) from November 1796 to Dec. 27, 1797 , the day of his death. The Abbé Charles Nicolas Le Vicq was Vicaire of Saint-Fromond, Fécamp , in the diocese of Rouen ; his name , however , does not occur in these accounts . The Abbé Jean Pierre Louis Renouf, a native of Saint-Germain , Tournebu, in the diocese of Coutances , was Vicaire of Querqueville in the same diocese; he landed at Portsmouth, later removed to Winchesterand eventually came to Reading in the latter half of November 1796, dying there on Nov. 26, 1799, at the age of 58. Père Jacques Marin Dunord, according to the Registres Paroissiaux d'Etat Civil de Saint-Servan ( 1905 ), was Superior of the local Convent of the Récollets in 1773. He and Père Toussaint Duval, of Saint-Malo , escaped without passports to Jersey during the night of April 26-27, 1792. The Abbé Toussaint Le Quien , Curé of Assigny in the diocese of Rouen , probably landed at Dover, as he figures in the Relief Fund accounts of that town (T. 93.40, Pt. 1) as receiving assistance towards travelling expenses on Feb. 13, 1793; his name appears in the Reading Town accounts as from November 1796. The Abbé François Alexandre Lanoë, a native of Verneusses in the diocese of Lisieux, was Vicaire of the Chapter of the Cathedral of that town ; he landed at Portsmouth in or about October 1792, was in London in 1793 and at Winchester in 1794, whence he removed on January 14 of the same year to Reading , where he died on Nov. 10, 1803. His name does not occur in any of the known Reading Town accounts . The Abbé François Lemée, Curé of Touffreville in the diocese of Rouen , sailed from Dieppe on Sept. 8, 1792, with a passportdelivered to him on the 7th by the Municipality of Touffreville - sur- Eu; he probably landed at Dover, as he received there a second subsidy from the Relief Fund on Jan. 3, 1793 , and on February 13 assistance towards travelling expenses. His name appears in the Reading Town accounts as from November 1796. He was in his 65th year at the time of his death. The Abbé Jacques Noblet , Vicaire of Coquainvilliers in the diocese of Lisieux ( now in the diocese of Bayeux), is first found at Gosport, whence he is said to have removed to Winchesterand eventually to Reading . His name is not in the aforesaid ReadingTown accounts . is to be regretted that the Parish Registers of St. Lawrence and of St. Giles, Reading, and those of Caversham have not yet been published, as they would have made it possible to complete the roll of French Refugee Priests who ended their days in Reading and its vicinity. Failing these, careful search has been made of the files in the British Museum of The Reading Mercury for 1792 to 1801 inclusive; these, however, are incomplete, inasmuch as copies of some seventy issues are missing , as are also the volumes for 1802 to 1828 inclusive. The following extract is from the issue of May 27, 1793:― Died Mons. l'Abbe Jeane Mané Manul, one of the un-

death of a French priest appearing in a general obituary throughout the ten years 1792 to 1801. A possible explanation is that the priest in question was personally known to Miss Smart, and may be the one referred to in a letter written by that lady from Dover to The Reading Mercury under date Sept. 15 , 1792 (see issue of Sept. 24). A search of the Dover Parish Registers may throw light on the subject. The following report is from The Reading Mercury of August 20, 1798

:- Reading, Saturday, August 18. Yesterday noon an Emigrant

French Priest, was found drowned in the mill- stream near Cavershamlock. He had been angling, and his line, as is supposed , hitching in the weeds , he undressed himself all but his shirt and went into the water to get it out . When found , he was near the shore, and had the bough of a tree fast clinched in his hand. He had left his cloaths in the lock-shutters boat, and in his coat pocket were three small fishes . Neither the files of The Reading Mercury nor the Obituaries in The Laity's Directory afford any clue to the identity of this priest; but among the records relating to the French Refugee Clergy preserved in the Departmental Archives of the Manche at Saint-Lo is a Liste des Curés et Prêtres au diocèse de Coutances morts ailleurs que dans la ville de Winchester pendant l'exil in which we read : Pierre Nourri , prêtre des Pieux, diocèse de Coutances , noyé en se baignant dans la Tamise aux environs de Reading , le 17 Août 1798. Son corps a été inhumé a Caverchem, petit bourg à un mille de cette dite ville." * Turning to the Reading Town accounts (T. 93.45, Pt . 1), we find " P. Nourry, Prêtre, diocèse de Coutances as from November 1796. As stated above , he was from les Pieux, and he served the Abbayede SaintSauveur - le- Vicomte. In The Reading Mercury of Dec. 2 , 1799 , we read: Reading, Saturday, November 30. On Tuesday last died in this town , the Rev. Peter Renoult, French Priest of the Diocese of Coutances , in Normandy . This, no doubt , refers to the Abbé Jean Pierre Louis Renouf mentioned in The Registers of the Parish of St. Mary (see above , pp. 187 and 188). The following is from the issue of Dec. 30, 1799: Reading, Saturday, December 28. Yesterday as a French Priest was taking his usual walk, in the outskirts of this town he was suddenly seized with a fit, and expired without a groan. The priest in question is , of course, the Abbé Pierre Moriceau, whose burial is recorded (No. 84) on page 185 , above . He wasa native of Laval, and sailed from Granville on Sept. 15, 1792 , at which date he was 48 years old ; he was therefore 55 at the time of his death, which is recorded in The Laity's Directory for 1801 . Finally, in the issue of Nov. 16, 1801 , we read: Reading, Saturday , November 28. Yesterday died, in this town, M. Lequin , a very respectable French emigrant priest . This will be the Abbé Toussaint Le Quien included in The Registers of the Parish of St. Mary (see above , pp. 187 and 188). document is the work of the Abbé Jean- Baptiste François Le * This Febvre d'Annéville , Curé of Saint -Georges-la- Rivière in the diocese of Coutances , who died at Winchester on February 13 , 1802. His name does not occur in The Registers of the Catholic Mission of Winchester, 1721-1826 published" in Vol. 1 of Publications of the Catholic Record Society ( 1905) ; in all probability, therefore, he was buried in " le Cimetière nouvellement béni, & destiné à la sepulture des Ecclésiastiques & autres françois, près le dit Château mentioned in the twenty-ninth entry (Dec. 17, 1794) in the Register of Burials described on page 181, above.

APPENDIX NOTE ON THE FRENCH REFUGEE PRIESTS.

The great service afforded by the refugee clergy in the preservation of the Faith in this country is sometimes imperfectly realized. Though the stay of the majority was but for a few years , much good resulted, and those who remained permanently conferred a great and lasting benefit on the Catholics of the time. Being an alien , however, and without relatives in this country, the refugee priest frequently excited but little interest, and after spending his remaining days in penury , often died in obscurity . The followingpassage by the learned Dr. F. C. Husenbeth, from a work perhaps not now generally available , is given here for convenienceof reference:

[In 1803] " Dr. Milner found that the Midland District, in common with

the other three Districts of England , had begun to feel the effects of the breaking-up of our colleges on the Continent , in consequence of the French Revolution . Several priests, too, had died very recently ; so that some missions were without pastors, while others were imperfectly supplied by French emigrant priests, full of zeal and piety indeed, but very imperfectly acquainted with our language, which was a formidable drawback, for some time, to their general usefulness on the English Mission. Yet here we cannot but admire and bless the mysterious dispensation of Divine Providence in our favour . For just at that critical time , when our seminaries had failed, and no prospect appeared of our being able for a long time to come to complete the education of our clergy with our very limited means at home, a large number of those French priests, who had been driven as exiles upon our shores, had remained in England and preferred to labour as best they could in our poor missions rather than return to their own country. Gladly did our Bishops welcome these worthy men and employ them in the work of the holy ministry. They were zealous and exemplary ; and incalculable was the good which they effected in this country. Many converts were made by their prudent and enlightened teaching ; many chapelswere built and missions establishedin every part of the kingdom ; and many a congregation, now large and respectable, owes its beginning to the humble but persevering labours of some poor French priest , generously giving his time, his toil , and his hard-earned savings to the great work of the salvation of souls in a strange land .

That band of noble labourers in our vineyard must never be forgotten by English Catholics; nor must we ever cease to thank God for thus marvellously providingfor the spiritual wants of our poor scattered flocks, and the conversion of countless souls to His holy Faith. The conduct of the French priests in England was so edifying , and the circumstances of their coming among us excited so much sympathy, that the prejudices of our countrymen against our religion and our priesthood were very remarkably softened and dissipated, and the way was prepared for that rapid progress of the Catholic Faith, which we have so happily witnessed in succeeding years .

APPENDIX

POSTSCRIPT .

On the use of the term

" Emigré."

The Decree of the Legislative Assembly of August 26, 1792, determined the position of the whole of the Clergy in France who had remained faithful to the Holy See. Under the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which came into force on January 1 , 1791 , every bishop, parish priest and curate retained in office was obliged to take an oath of fidelity to the Constitution under penalty of being deprived of his benefice. By subsequent decrees promulgated in March and April 1791 this proviso was extended to preachers , professors, and hospital and prison chaplains. The avowed object of the Decree of August 26, 1792, was to rid the country of the nonjuring clergy. From the date of its proclamation in a district or municipality every ecclesiastic resident within who had not taken the oath, or who having taken it had retracted and persisted in his contumacy, was obliged to apply at once to the local authority for a passport, specifying the country to which he wished to go and the route by which he intended to travel , and within eight days of the proclamation he was to clear out of the district and within fifteen days out of the country, under penalty of transportation to French Guiana .

It is safe to say that practically the whole of the clergy charged with the cure of souls remained at their posts until driven into exile by the Decree of August 26, 1792. Previous to that date, however, a few ecclesiastics who had lost their occupation such as dignitaries, preachers , professors or chaplains sought a refuge abroad from the evils they shrewdly foresaw . Only to these can the term émigré justly apply, emigration implying volition; but to apply it indiscriminately to all the clergy who found an asylum in this country would appear to cast a reflection on the great body of parish priests and curates who loyally stuck to their posts to the very last in the hour of persecution . For this reason the term refugee has been uniformly used throughout this paper, quoted matter excepted .

No. IV.

CATHOLIC REGISTERS OF ROBERT HALL AND HORNBY, LANCS., 1762-1818. (SUPPLEMENTARY ARTICLE). CONTRIBUTED BY JOHN PETER SMITH , J.P.

In the Society's fourth volume, issued in 1907, were printed the Baptismal Registers of the missions of Robert Hall and Hornby, Lancashire , together with an historical account of the missions , by the late Rt . Rev. Monsignor William Wrennall . was thought at that time that these were the only records which were in existence , but on making a search a few years ago the writer was shown , in addition to other papers , a register of marriages and deaths from 1762 to 1818. As these form a valuable addition for the genealogist they are printed below. It is also considered desirable to place on record that two other items of considerable interest were found, but as they are somewhat lengthy they are not printed . The first consists of lists of the congregation in 1811 and 1813 , and continuously from 1817 to 1836, and the second of a yearly list of Retributiones, which contains long lists of subscriptions or fees, marked X Dono," and offerings for Masses, marked " Pro An. All these "Registers and documents are now preserved in the Presbytery of St. Mary's, Hornby. Some genealogical footnotes have been added by the writer . Thanks are due to the Rev. Francis J. Rawlinson for the subjoined particulars and for kindly checkingthe proofs .

THE REGISTERS. The old Registers now preserved at the Hornby mission consist of four books , as follows: No. relates to the mission of Robert Hall , and is composed of leaves from an octavo note-book, 8 x 6 inches . Page I gives a short list of fourteen Masses said (in 1757 and 1758 ) on certain deaths or anniversaries : then the names of twelve persons confirmed at Hornby, 1762 (see infra ) , followed by a list of baptisms 1757 to 1803 ; this list at Robert Hall, continued on pp. 2 , to 24 from has already been printed in C.R.S. iv, pp. 325 to 330. Page 12 has a single entry a marriage at Robert Hall (see infra) . [ Pages 6, 14 , 16, 18, 20 are blank. ]

No.

relates also to Robert Hall, and is composed of eight pages, inches . 6x4Pages 1 and 2 give baptisms at Robert Hall by the Rev. Arthur Story from 1809 to 1811 (already printed in Vol . iv, pp. 330-331 ). Page 3 gives seven masses of obligation at Robert Hall (pages 4 and 5 are blank: page 6 has some dates noted , without any explanation) .

REGISTERS OF ROBERT HALL AND HORNBY

193

Pages 7 and 8 give four baptisms in 1816 and 1817 by the Rev. James Worswick, incorporated by the Rev. John Lingard in his Register (C.R.S. , iv, p. 342 ) , without any special indication . Probably Father Worswick was then supplying for him, as by this time Robert Hall had been added to the Hornby district.

No.

relates to Hornby, and is a volume measuring 8 × 6 inches ,

III in boards , with parchment back. The pages are numbered from each

end . Pages 1 to 37, 68 to 71 , and 102-103 are occupied with Baptisms, 1762 to 1836 (printed in Vol . iv, pp. 331 to 347) . Page 104 is blank . Pages 38 and 39 have lists of Confirmations in 1813 and 1821 respectively, and page 74 those for 1831 (see infra). Pages 77-78 have marriage entries, 1762 to 1798 (see infra). Pages 79 and 80, List of Communicantsin 1811 : page 81 blank. Page 82 contains four entries, rewritten on page 92. Page 83 has two marriage entries for 1813 (see infra). A page marked goa, with three pages inserted and marked gob, goc , god, followed by pp. 91-92, constitute an Obituary, 1762-1818

(see infra).

Pages 96-101 give Easter Communicants in 1832 , 1833 , and 1834. Pages 105 to 110 contain a census of the Catholic parishioners in 1763, entitled Nomina Singulorum in Mea Congregatione 1763 (see

infra) .

Pages 111-117 are devoted to other census lists and names of Easter Communicantsin 1811 , 1832, 1835, 1836. The book is then reversed , the pages being numbered from 1B to 43B. ] [Pages 1B to 38B give lists of masses said, with dates and stipends ,

from 1764 to 1795.

Pages 39B to 43B give lists of Easter Communicants, 1819 and 1820 .

No. IV also relates to Hornby, and is a volume , 8x6 inches , bound in half calf, with marbled sides. Page as title-page, bearing Baptismal Register , etc. , for the Catholic Chapel at Hornby, 1837. Pages 2-4 are blank . Pages 5 to 73 give lists of Easter Communicantsfrom 1837 to 1863. Pages 64 to 67 left blank for 1861 census but not filled in. This is the only census missing between these dates . Two marked 1747 and 1748 evidently mistaken for 1847-48 (Dr. Lingard was close on 80 years of age at this time). Pages 74 to 86 contain entries of Baptisms; page 81 is duplicated, the second being marked 81a . This register extends from 1837 to 1855, when a printed register was taken into use. The entries up to December , 1850, have been printed in Vol . iv, pp. 348-351 , but without any indication that they are not in the same book as those on pp. 340-348 of that volume. Pages 87 to 102 give lists of Easter Communicants from 1863 to 1865. Remainder of volume blank. is known that Dr. Lingard was in Rome in 1817. Brother Henry Foley says : The practice of keeping the names of Paschal penitents was continued at the old missions till very lately, and is enjoined in the ritual printed at York in 1828 (Records, S.J. , viii, 1406) .

ARCHBISHOP BLACKBURN'S VISITATION RETURNS OF

THE

DIOCESE OF YORK , 1735 . CONTRIBUTED BY RICHARD TRAPPES-LOMAX . INTRODUCTION. These Records are contained in twelve rolls or bundles , made up more or less according to Archdeaconries and Deaneries , and are preserved among the Archives of the Archdiocese of York at Bishopthorpe. The thanks of the Society are due to the Archbishop for permitting their publication. For convenience of reference the Parishes and Chapelries have been arranged in one alphabetical list with the name of the Deaneryfollowing the name of the Parish or Chapelry. In 1735 the Diocese of York comprised (i) the whole of Yorkshire, with the exception of the Archdeaconry of Richmond which was removed from the Diocese in 1542 and added to the Diocese of Chester when that diocese was formed: (ii) the whole of Nottinghamshire, (iii) that part of Northumberland known as Hexhamshire. The Diocese was divided into four Archdeaconries , viz ., York, Cleveland, the East Riding and Nottingham . The Archdeaconry of York contained the Deaneries of the City of York, New Ainsty, Old Ainsty, Pontefract, Craven , and Doncaster. The Archdeaconryof Cleveland contained the Deaneries of Bulmer, Cleveland , and Ryedale. The Archdeaconry of the East Riding comprised the Deaneries of Buckrose , Dickering, Harthill, and Holderness : while the Archdeaconry of Nottingham consisted of the Deaneries of Bingham, Newark, Nottingham, and Retford. Hexhamshire and Ripon were outside any Archdeaconry. Visitations by the Archbishop were regularly made from time to time : thus there were Visitations in 1706 ( part of which is printed hereafter as an Appendix) , 1733 , 1743, and 1767. Parts of the Returns for 1735 and for 1767 were printed in the Northern Genealogist, vol . 3 , and the Returns for 1735 were reprinted in vol. 4 of the Catholic Record Society. The Returns for 1743 have recently been printed by the Yorkshire Archæological Society (Record Series) in vols . lxxi , lxxii , lxxv, and lxxvii. The Returns for 1735 are of special interest and importance, as they give the names of the Recusants the others, as a rule, only give their

numbers .

The Visitation Returns of 1735 were made by order of Archbishop Lancelot Blackburn (1658-1743 ), who became Archbishop of York in 1724.

Unhappily the Returns are by no means complete : for of the 903 parishes in the diocese there are returns relating only to 578. There are 509 returns; the difference is accounted for by several returns being for

ARCHBISHOP BLACKBURN'S VISITATION RETURNS

205

2 or more parishes .

It seems likely that many of the Clergy omitted to makereturns through unwillingnessto get their neighbours into trouble. Out of the total number of Parishes (and Chapelries ) 260 contain no Recusants : 52 have only one Recusant in each : the greatest number of Recusants in any one Parish is at Egton, where there are 135 , next comes Ripon with 116 , Coxwold with 97, Sheffield with 82, Hexham with 80, Mytton with 77, Crathorne with 62, Yarm with 59, Spofforth with 58, and Lythe with 53. There were 50 in Burstwick and Paull . The remainder had less than 50 Recusants apiece. An attempt has been made in the notes to identify as many names as possible , both of laymen and the Missionary Priests. The reader should amplifythese by reference to Estcourt and Payne's Catholic Non-Jurors of 1715, to Gillow's Bibliographical Dictionary, to Foley's Records S.J., to Birt's Obituaries O.S.B. , to Kirk's Lives, to Thaddeus's Franciscans in England, and to various papers in the publications of the Catholic Record Society; and above all to Archbishop Herring's Visitation Returns of 1743 (referred to above) , edited by Canon Ollard and the Rev. P. C. Walker . This, and especially Appendix A in the fourth volume, has been of the greatest use to the Editor, and he gratefully acknowledges the help he has received from their work. The MS. has been printed exactly as it stands in the original, with two exceptions , viz . (1 ) some punctuation has been added for the sakeof clearness ; and (ii) in the case of Nil returns, the long questions and " detailed answers have generally not been reproduced ; but the fact that there were no Recusants is just noted by the use of the word " None." This compression may be justified on the score of economy of space. Our late member , Mr. P. B. TURNBULL, took a special interest in these Returns, as his family now represents the Smiths of Egton Bridge mentioned therein. Mr. Turnbull contributed generously towards the expense of transcription in preparing these Returns for the Press. In conclusion , it is a duty and a pleasure to place on record the friendly and kind offices of Canon Ollard, Rector of Bainton, co . York, in arranging for permission to be given for the transcribing and printing of these Visitation Returns. The Society owes him a debt of gratitude, and to him as a real benefactor tenders its cordial thanks. should also like to place on record the very considerable help have received from our Secretary, Mr. WILTON. As a native of the West Riding (born at Milford Hall in Kirkby Wharfe) , and as a former Clergyman in Yorkshire, holding the Cures of Burnby and Londesborough, his knowledge of Yorkshire Topography and Ecclesiastical affairs has been invaluable to me knowledge only equalled by the deep interest he has taken in the production of these papers . R. T.-L.

For the purposes of this Visitation the following questions were circulated among the Clergy. Enquiries . 1. What number of papists or supposed papists have you in your parish , Men, Women, and Children above the age of thirteen years : return their Names, Titles, Distinctions, or Trades in pursuance of the 114th Canon. 2. Is there any popish priest, or any persons supposed to be such, who constantlyDwell in your parish, or are Sojourners there and return their Names.

206

ARCHBISHOP BLACKBURN'S VISITATION RETURNS

3. Is there any House or place in your parish in which Mass is understood to be performed , and to which there is a resort of papists on the Lord's Day, or at any other time. 4. Is there any popish School within your parish for persons of Either Sex and by whom Kept . 5. Hath any Visitation or Confirmation been understood to have been held by any popish Bishop within your parish . 6. Doe you know of Any persons who have been perverted to the popish Religion , and by whome and when. His Grace the Lord Arch-Bishop of York desires and expects that every Clergyman make an exact and particular Return in writing signed by him to the Enquiries above mentioned , on or before Michaelmas Day next, at the Registers, Mr Brathwait's office in York.

Mass is understood to be sometimes performed in the House where Mr Ambrose Iles dwells, when he is at home on the Lord's day; but am informed yt He is often abroad, cannot say where, on ye Lord's day, & I believe there is no great Resort of Papists to Him at any time. .

I. By setting up the Pope's Supremacy not only in spirituals, but also in temporals, so that it was declared by Clement the 5th that all the Right of Princes depended on him alone; & England & Ireland are esteem'd Fees of the Papacy ; & the Pope has even dar'd to excommunicate, & depose our Princes , to absolve their Subjects from their Allegiance, & to condemn our Laws. And this Power is assumed in opposition both to the Laws of God, & Man. St Peter callingthe King supreme, vesting Princes with the Suprem-

acy within their own Dominions, & bidding us submit to them ; and not to the Pope . & St Paul charges every soul to be subject to the higher Powers , Viz . , civil, without excepting either Bishops or Apostles. & such Laws, as are declaratory of our Fundamental Constitution , assert expressly that the Crown of England was in no earthly subjection, & that the King had no Supreme, but God only. And the maintenance of this pretended Supremacy of the Pope hath been the Occasion of the Murther of many Princes, hath filled Christendom for many Ages with Massacres , Treasons , War & Bloodshed before the Reformation plunder'd the wealth of England ; & has disturb'd its Quiets. 2ly. By her false & absurd Doctrine of Transubstantiation , wch supposes , the whole substance of the Bread & Wine to be chang'd into the Body & Blood of Christ , whereas our senses assure us, they remain still Bread & Wine after Consecration. And we if cannot rely upon the Evidence of our senses when best qualified to judge, we must be unavoidably expos'd to eternal scepticism. We cannot otherwise tell that our Blessed Savr. preach'd a Divine Doctrine , & wrought Numberless Miracles, died & rose again, than by the Testimony of Sense. Those Persons who heard him speak as never man spake; saw his Sacred Person & Miracles, & handled his pretious Body, report & attest these things upon the evidence of sense, and we know , their Testimony is true. Sacred Writt calls them expressly Bread, & the Fruit of the Vine, or Wine , after their Distribution to the Communicants. Indeed a Change of the Bread & Wine into the Natural Body & Bloud of Christ is absurd. is impossible our Saviour should take himself & his Hand hold It his whole Body, & consequently hold it self: & that he gave himself from himself: that his Body was eaten by his Disciples, whilst remain'd whole & entire ; & his Bloud was drunk by them, whilst it flow'd in his veins. It is impossible Xt's Body should be whole & entire in ten Thousand different Places at the same Time, as this Popish Doctrine supposes, & It is impious in the highest Degree to eat the Flesh of their Savr., who is God Incarnate , as the Doctrine

of Transubstantiation supposes. 3ly. Another gross Corruption of Xtianity is the Adoration of

the Host, or Bread & Wine , with the highest Worship of the Supreme God, giving that divine Veneration to the Creature wch. is due to the Infinite Creator only , which is clear Idolatry, & forbidden by Scripture . charge the Roman Church with the hainous I might up the Sacred Pages in an Unknown Tongue, wch. Guilt of locking were reveal'd by God to make men wise unto Salvation , shutting what lies in them the Kingdom of Heaven against men; with robbing their People of the Cup in the Sacrament, in express Contradiction to Xt's Institution & Practice, & Apostolical Usage; with setting up Saints & Angells as Mediators besides the blessed Jesus who is the only Mediator by God's Appointment, & who is able to save to the uttermost all those who come unto God by him , seeing he ever lives to make Intercession for them. To sett up other Mediators is not only needless, but contrary to a Divine

Constitution, & therefore sinful. & lastly with having her publick Liturgy in an unknown Tongue, excluding the unlearn'd from joyning in the Common Devotions , & hindering their Edification, contrary to a whole Chapter of St Paul & to common sense, wch. teaches us to make Divine Service as Edifying as is possible, by having it in the Vulgar Tongue. But is high Time to make an End. That God may preserve this Reform'd Church from Popery & make their present Majestys & their Royal Issue blessed Instruments of perpetuating this invaluable Felicity to this Nation from Generation to Generation, is the hearty Prayer of Yr Dutyfull Son & Servant in Jesus Christ .

That Whereas John England in Flinton & Ralph Gardam in Fittine, both in Humbleton Parish and both Protestants and Churchgoers being call'd by ye Said Mr Thomson Minister to bring both their Children , lately born , to be baptized by him the said Minister. The former , Namely John England, answered that his Child was baptized already (his Wife being a Papist) by one Mr Smith at Burton Constable, & yt he believed Mr Smith wou'd Stand by what he had done in Baptizing his Child , & boldly told Mr Thomson Minister , that he had thoughts of turning Papist himself ! The Latter, Namely " Ralph Gardam " being more upon his Guard, answered, that his Wife being a Papist conveyed his Child away to be Christened he Knew not Whither. Mr Thomson Minister being informed that one Eliz : Pattison a Protestant & Churchgoer was Keeper to Gardam's Wife, he called for her, & she freely acknowledged to Mr Thomson, before Mr Browne vicar of Aldbrough , that she by ye Parents Order, being for ye time their Servant , carried the Child to Danthorp Hall, where the Child was received from her, by one Mary Blackburne ; upper Maid to Mrs Thorpe, & Carried it to an upper Room (where the Keeper was not suffered to go) & the Said Mary Blackburn brought it back again to Pattison ye Keeper, & told her it was baptized .

Thorne is possibly a mistake for Thorpe. The occupiers of Danthorpe * called were Thorpe. See note under Humbleton . Charles, 2nd Viscount Townshend, 1674-1738 . § This probably stands for Lancelot Ebor . , i.e., Lancelot Blackburn, Archbp . of York. Thomas Howard , 8th Duke of Norfolk, 1683-1732. The Chaplain, whose doings are here the subject of complaint , cannot be the Chaplain at Sheffield , for the Vicar there was John Dossie, 1713-1754. The mention of Norton Cuckney, which is in Notts ., and not far from the Duke's seat at Worksop Manor, inclines me to suppose that the abused Priest was Chaplain there. The Rev. Cuthbert Haydock ( 1686-1763 ) was chaplain at Worksop from 1723 till death. (Appendix A to Archbishop Herring's Visitation Returns.)

5. GROWTH OF POPERY NEAR SHEFFIELD.

Stanley, June 23d 1735 Sir

The favour of yors together with the Societys Circular Letter, & an Extract from one abt the growth of Popery, came safe to hand for all which here beg leave to return My thanks. Since received

ye above Extract , and the Society's request to examine into the Truth of the Facts therein Mentioned have made my Business to inform My Self abot 'em and am sorry to Say that there is not the least room to doubt but that they are (for the Most part if not) meet entirely as the author of that Letter asserts them to be. with none who Know Sheffield, & the neighbourhood about it but what agree that of late years Popery has very visibly gain'd ground amongst them and that from 100 (which was the Number some few years ago) they are now by Bribes of 56 ye Man and other the like, base ungenerous methods increased to 700 or 800. So Swift a progress does that Bloody traiterous, idolatrous & Superstitious Religion make in those parts, & seems to be continually advancing

farther. Hathersick * I'm inform'd is a perfect nest of Papists , & in Chesterfield , & its neighbourhood, there's too much room to fear that the Author of that Letter from the North was not misinformed . But of Derby have not had any intelligence , and I so can say nothing as to it . About Gainsborough in Lincolnshire and East Retford in Nottinghamshire , hear that Bribes are likewise made use of, and with too much Isuccess amongst the poor labouring People to convert them to Popery : but of this had not so particular an Information as I had of Sheffield , Hathersick and Chesterfield : however it will be worth while to look Somewt more narrowly into it : for I'm afraid that the above method of converting is become almost general, and I cannot but believe that their Design in Labouring so constantly , and expensively amongst ye poorer Sort of people (for we hear of few or no others that become Papists now a Days) is to Secure Such a Number of men able to bear arms, that may be of Service to 'em in any future insurrection at home, or invasion from abroad in favour of the Pretender, & therefore that their buying Converts is only more privately enlisting so many Soldiers to do their bloody work for them, if God shou'd (as a punishmt for the crying Sins of this nation) ever permit them (that Bloody minded race of men) to prevail over us : which pray God may never be our Case : but that a timely and Sincere National Repentance May avert those Judgmts wch now hang over us , as almost ripe for Destruction . Lancashire, tho' a very large County , every one allows, abounds with Papists, and Lincolnshire has now More in it than it has had for many years. In the City of York I know that there

are several Popish Families of good Estates, that have an influence

in their neighbourhood, and am credibly informed that they have Mass performed there as constantly, and almost as publickly on the Lords day as the Church of England has divine Service: so that I hardly know whether there be more Papists in York or Sheffield. believe that books agt Popery might do good Service, Idisposed of amongst the Inhabitants of York, Sheffield, if prudently the neighbourhood of Hathersick, Chesterfield , East Retford & Gainsboro & about Lincoln . For in all these places they are pretty busy, believe in Making Converts. . am Sr both the Society's and yr obed humble Servt Sam¹ Disney. Endorsed 1735.

your Grace some Account of Popery in Cleveland above Yarm, where it is very infectious & exorbitant, supported chiefly by the Influence of a Popish Lawyer * in Yarm, at whose House (within the Liberty of Northallerton) which extends thither, the Papists assemble to Mass as publickly as the People go to Church; which they do also at Crathorn where I lived; close by the Church, & in greater Number than we had for our Congregation in the Parish , which was usually , while I was there , made up with Strangers from

neighbouring Parishes. did what was able to settle the People in their Religion & give theman abhorrence of Popery, & likewise printeda Discourse against its further Encroachment , as well as particular Errors, the latter being for the Use of the Parish ; which has drawn upon me the greatest injuries & abuse from the Papists & Jacobite [s], & by the Influence of the Lawyer aforesaid. Mr Pearson the Incumbent , of whom had a Lease , and from whom a Sum of Money was due to me at its Expiration, joined with the Enemies to his Church in the Injuries received, and has engaged his Living to them in order to raise Money to pay me off, & sent me unprepared and unexpected without reasonable Notice to my Living here, where was engaged with a Curate to my great Loss , & my Parsonage in the Occupation of a Tenant whom cou'd not then remove, & thus was forc'd to be at new charge in taking a House & Ground. This usage have received from him, tho he is hardly capable of doing the Duty & the Congregation are in general dissatisfy'd , as

Revd. Dr

Having fully perform'd my engagements to Mr Mawer, I did not expect to hear of a complaint from him, especially one with as little foundation of truth as common honesty. My votes & interest whenever occasionoffer'd are (I hope) demonstrative tokens that I'm neither a favourer of Popery, nor Jacobitism . do admit yt. ye Papists are increas'd in my time occasion'd by their Children generally settling here , & as I'm not sole Ld. of ye Parish it's not in my power to prevent ye event . Besides , I do not believe yt. Crathorn is ye only place in England where Papists take sanctuary under a L. of their own persuasion , altho ' I'm represented to be singular in my conduct to em. I've only lost 2 of my flock during my residence at Crathorn wch was occasion'd by their marrying into Popish families, & not without indefatigable pains to reclaim them & tho I've lost them I've gain'd three Converts in ye same ' time, therefore was amaz'd to hear yt . a complaint had been lodg'd against me as scandalous as yt . through my negligence His Majesty had been rob'd of ye allegiance of many of his subjects.

Mr Archdeacon ! according to your Command, have made the best Inquiry am able ; & if my Information be Right hope ye following Account , will give you, in a good measure, ye satisfaction ye Desire.

The Reason of these two different Accounts , take to be this. the usual Returns Made of the Papists to the sessrory [sic], were made by the Parish Officers; and as no Notice was ever taken of those Returns ; they usually Put down any Number, not heeding Exactness, in a Matter, they never found Enquired into afterwards . do not find that Mr Pearson did anything to stirr: up the

Papists against Mr Mawer, more than that their Money affairs might Occasion some unwarrantable Deals between them two, in wch ye Papsists [sic] were accidentally Engaged the Papists Raised the Money (as they have always Done to relieve Mr Pearsons extravagancies) to pay Mr Mawer, at his leaving Crathorn : which perhaps Mr Mawer wd rather they had not Done. do not find that any have Turn'd Papists of late years but some few, who were Gain'd by Marriage ; nor, -yt Mr Pearson hath Lost any thro Neglect ; nor yet that he hath Gaind any by his Assiduity, or great Learning but He says He Gain'd 3 in 16 Years; & of the truth of this He must certainly know better than I.— on the contrary Mr Mawer, if He Lost any, It was not thro Neglect. He certainly Took very great pains in frequently Preach against the conspicuous Errors of the Church of Rome; and used every other Lawful Method to convert the erroneous, and to Confirm the Charge. He was very Charitable , and Useful to the People; and Left Crathorn well spoken of by all indeed He wrote a Book (a Caveat agst . Popery) a little before He Left Crathorn ; by wch . He might perhaps Enrage the Lawyers of my Neighbourhood, & such Papists as could Judge of Argument elsewhere ; but the Poor People of Crathorn , as far as I can Learn, have no spleen against Him upon any Account . They are indeed increased from two, or three familys in Mr Pearsons Fathers time, to the present Number: but this Is chiefly owing to the Branching of Familys ; to the Assiduity of the Steward , & Landlord * ; in putting In papist

Tennants as occassion offer'd ; more than any Neglect to be charged, at any time, upon the Incumbent. Mr Pearsons misfortunes may possibly have been Owing at first , to his Building more than his circumstances would allow at his first Coming to Crathorn : but time & care, might long since have Rid Him of yse unhappy Incumbrances ; instead of this He hath every Year sunk deeper : & tis certain the Papists have continually supplied him with Money; and with Securities [? too, wch they were not supposed Able to Raise; and are Ready, on all Occasions to be his security ; but for what they Do these surprizing Kindnesses (if anything more yn . out of goodwill, & Compassion) they best knew. Tis said those favours are Done by better Friends ; & have heard Mr Pearson say, yt his best farms are under very small a word illegible here] ; and that a few Years ago Mr Crathorn Cut down £200 pounds worth of Wood , which grew upon the Glebe. Whether Mr Pearsons Hatred to Popery be so great as He Declares, I know not; but earnestly Wish It may for the Good of those He has Left ; but fear his Voting will be no very honourable Test of his Loyalty (at least no demonstrative Token of his Affection, & hearty Atachment to their Majesty's on the Throne, as He Is pleased to express Himself) if He be found amongSrMiles'sVoters : will not say He Is : but am very certain He went about in Yarme

But had not enjoy'd this pleasing Satisfaction long before I was alarm'd with an Account of ye Perversion of Mr John Breckon, Master of a Ship of 120 Tons, & of his having been to hear Mass at Egton.

This Accident ha's led me to enquire very carefully into ye Number & Behaviour of these Enemies of all our Happiness; and, instead of 2 or 3 Families so poor as to be below my Notice , have found , yt in my Parish, are near 40 grown Persons, besides Children, who profess Popery (to which Number they are increas'd from 7 or 8 within ye last 6 years ) I have found a good many more, who are very strongly suspected of being conceal'd Papists; because tho they sometimes go to Church yet; they never receive the Communion in our Way; which I take to be ye most Certain Criterion have found yt . one Mr Smith* (who till lately liv'd at EgtonBridge , & in whose House there is ye Mass -Room) is fix'd HERE, & ha's taken a large House in ye most private Part of the Town with a view (as is universally suspected) yt . ye Papists of this Place may assemble with ye greater Secrecy & Safety when ye Priest comes to Town And have found, yt. soon after any Popish women are delivered , ye said Priest (who lives at Egton-Bridge & is known by no other Name than that of Mr Philips ) is frequently seen going to their Houses , to christen their Children, as

Arthur Ingram 6th Viscount Irwin, 1689-1736 . William Bridges was instituted to the Vicarage of Kippax 10 Dec., 1731, on the death of Thomas Lowther , and on the presentation of the King. His successor, William Wood, was instituted 4 July, 1733 (Information of the Registrar of the Diocese of York). There is an account of this episode in Appendix A, vol . iv, p. 188 of Archbishop Herring's Visitation Returns, 1743 Yorks. Arch. Soc.). Bridges's conversion annoyed Archbishop Black( he was credited with a desire to put the Penal Laws in force. This burn and alarmed Sir Edward Gascoigne , for Bridges was supposed to have been received by Bishop Williams , V.P., who lived on Gascoigne's Estate . Catholics generally were agitated, and the Papal Internuncio at Brussels wrote on 24 July, 1733, to Cardinal Petra to say that Bishop Williams was in serious peril and had been obliged to fly to the " most deserted and remote places , to escape prison and torture, carceri e tormenti, as the ' Pseudo - archbishop of York had issued a mandate for his capture, on account of his having made a conversion (which caused great noise) of a Protestant Minister , who instructed by Bishop Williams , nobly resigned his rich prebend, and publicly declared himself a Catholic " (Maziere Brady , Episcopal Succession, iii, 254) . The statement of the Internuncio was much exaggerated for Bridges held no rich prebend , and the Vicarage of Kippax was only worth £34 16s. 4d. per an.: and Bishop Williams merely withdrew to Mr. Tunstall's at Wycliffe for a few months. Gascoigne enlisted the sympathies of Lord Irwin , the Earl of Carlisle, and other Whig Peers, and before long, through their good

offices, the Archbishop was pacified, and the threatened storm blew over.

Lordsp in regard of any persons belonging to me, I'd not be easy till I had told you ye real Matter of Facts, for wch . dare pledge my Word, as above, and as yr. self will, doubt not, believe or may please to assure any Persons you shall think proper to sett right , if misinform'd. will not teaze you wth any further apologies for giving you this Trouble , these things are of so delicate & tender a Nature , yt. twou'd be injuring yr.

The six Tracts here for the first time reprinted belong to a class of * writings which fills an important place in English literature of prenewspaper times. They will be welcomed by all who have at heart the story of our English Martyrs . Published as they were officially at the very time of the martyrdoms and with the express object of casting odium and discredit on the sufferers and their cause, they are chiefly valuable for the light they throw on the spirit by which the persecutors were animated. They will also be found to have preserved for us not a few details respectingsome of the martyrs which we should not otherwise have known, or to confirm what was otherwise only known from friendly witnesses . It is hardly necessary to point out how much more valuable evidence may often be when it comes from hostile sources than when it comes from friends. The first five of our Tracts are reprinted from copies, unique or almost so , in the library of the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth. For their preservation we are indebted to the contemporary Archbishop Bancroft, to whose private library they originally belonged , and whose initials and arms are on their covers ; the permission to transcribe them we owe to his Grace the present Archbishop and to the late Archbishop Davidson. Number 6 is from the copy among the Thomason Tracts in the British Museum , which were presented to the nation by King George III in 1762 . The following are the full titles of two books several times referred

BLESSED EVERARD HANSE . July 31, 1581 . Blessed Everard Hanse was a native of Northamptonshire and a graduate of Cambridge . After some time in the Anglican ministry he was converted to the faith, was admitted to the seminary at Rheims in June , 1580 , and ordained priest in March, 1581. On April 4th he set out for the English mission under the assumed name of Duckett. Three months later he was arrested while visiting the prisoners in the Marshalsea . On July 28th he was tried under the new statute of persuasion (23 Eliz., c. 1) ; and hanged, drawn and quartered on the 31st. He is one of the martyrs declared Blessed by Leo XIII in 1886. Father Robert Persons, S.J. , writing his Epistle of the Persecution of Catholickes in England in the winter asof that same year 1581 , cites the recent case of B. Everard Hanse an example of persecution continued, as it so often was, even after the death of its victim , by means of slanderous libels. " In this wise (he says) verie latelie when they had hanged on their common gallowes that godlie and zelouse priest, Everard Hanse , and were affrayed leste some, perchaunce , wolde be moved with the martyrdome of that innocent, they gave owt in two contrarie bookes , thone impugnyng thother , certaine monstruouse errors and paradoxes and made this deade man the author thereof ; suche as this, that the bishopp of Rome cannot synne etc. , we now reprint is one of these " two contrarie bookes that . for the first time It was licensed four days after the martyrdom , on August 4th, 1581 , to Henry Bynneman, one of the more important London printers of his day, as A True Report of tharraignmentand execution of the late popishe Traitor Everit Haunce (Arber, Registers of the Stationers Company , ii , p. 151 ). Of the other pamphlet the untrue report to reform " whose errors the True Report was written unfortunately, no copy, as far as is known, exists ; neither is it entered in the Stationers Register. title, however, has been preserved by Watt (Bibliotheca BritanniIts full ca, i , p. 2164) in a long list of books printed by John Charlewood , and runs as follows :-The Arraignement and Execution of a wilfull and obstinate Traitour named Eueralde Ducket , alias Hauns ; condemned at the session House for High Treason, on Friday , beeing the 28th of July , and executed at Tiborne on Monday after, 1581 London, 1581 , 16mo. has We do not know who was the " M.S. who " gathered it. been suggested that he is Antony Munday, and this seems likely enough , for Munday was fond of calling himself a gatherer, and several of his books about this time were printed , like this, by Charlewood and White . The anonymous author of our present tract was , think, quite probably Master Robert Crowley, the " grave preacher " who figures so largely in the latter part of the story ; for whom, and for a list of his writings , see the Dictionary of National Biography. He writes good English, is well- informed as to facts, and comparatively moderate in his language , as we should expect from one in his position .

[

is not well, that men of more needinesse than discretion or understanding, being not instructed in the truth of matters , do take uppon them, for a final rewarde at a Printers hande, to sette downe matters of fact in writing, and the Printers likewise for gaine do publish the same being not true: whereby, bothe the state is in many things offended, religion and the proceedingsthereof layd open to some infamie among ill affected persons , the orders of her Majesties Injunctions and commandementes broken, some private persons slandered, and other faultes committed , to the peril of greater inconvenience. Of this sort of untrue reportes is a pamphlet lately published , as gathered by M.S. and printed by Charlewoode and White , touching the arainement and execution of a wilfull and obstinat traitor , named Everard Ducket alias Haunce &c. Bycause the moste of the same Booke is untrue , and manye partes thereof , do lay open the honor of iustice to slaunder, and the cause of religion to some disadvantage of cavillous speaches : it hath bin thought good, that the trueth bee more certainely delivered, by some yt have better meane to knowe it, and better cause to be credited, and the Readers required to impute the errours of the former booke, to the audacitie of some one needy man, and not to any publique defacement of authoritie. Thus it is. There was one, calling himselfe Everard Haunce alias Ducket, a Papist , which sort commonly name themselves Catholikes. He was apprehended suspitious in his resort to such unsound and disobedient subjectes as be in the Marshalsea and other prisons, for being disturbers of the state of the realme and hir Majestie , by adhering to hir mortall enimye the pope, and by practising to withdrawe from her Majestie the due allegeance, reverent regard, and zealous affection that are, and ought to be in hir subjects, toward hir. Being before Maister William Fleetewood serieant at Law, and Recorder of the Citie of London , hee , very arrogantly & seditiously ,

" TRUE REPORTS "> OF THE MARTYRS

uttered sundry bold speeches in maintenance of ye Romish pretended Catholike religion , & of ye Popes usurped authoritie. For which cause the said Maister Recorder committed him to the Gaole of Newgate, meaning, that at ye next sessions for delivery of ye said gaole , his speches might there be repeted, & he further examined by greater assistance of hir Majesties Justices, in that commission. At the day of the saide sessions being Friday the xxviij day of July last past, the saide Everard was in the docket among other prisoners, before Sir John Branch Knight , Lord Maior of London, the saide William Fleetwood, Recorder, Sir Ow. Hopton Knight lieutenant of hir Majesties Tower of London , Sir William Damsell Knight , Mayster Sekforde Maister of Requestes to hir Majestie, and other Justices of that Commission, for London and Middlesex. At the perusing of the gaole, Master Recorder called the said Everard to the barre, and charged him with divers arrogant and seditious speeches, in maintainance of the Popes authority in England which he willed ye prisoner himself to repete. Everard so refused to do, but required that he might be charged, by the accusations of such as heard his speches. Wherupon Maister Recorder caused the witnesses to be called & sent for. In the meane time, it was thought good, by examination , further to understand the state of the man , and the rather, by cause it is wel known , that such Popish priests, as are lately come over to seduce ye Queens subjects, do wander from place to place, aboute the realme, in disguised apparel , as souldiers, and servingmen, and such like, to say Masse in corners, to poyson the youth of England, and to prepare the Queenes deceived subjects, to joyne with any dangerous attemptsfor alteration of the state in favor of the Popishe heresie . So it is knowen that Campion andParsons, Brian, Wakeman , counterfait Setwal, and a multitude of other, have bin arraied like courtly Gentlemen, in Velvet Satten and coulours, and as men of warlike and secular professions, moste farre different from men of the Church , as they corruptely call them . So was Everarde asked what hee was in profession, and specially whether he were a Priest or no. He professed that he was a Catholike, and a Priest, one of the Seminary at Rheimes, and made Priest in forraine partes, and come over into thys realme, to persuade the Queenes subjectes to the Romish faith, whiche hee called (as the rest do usualy cal ) winning of soules . Being asked whether he had taken any othe, or made profession of obedience to the present Pope Gregorie, and his successors Popes of Rome, he boldly affyrmed to this effect, that he had vowed fidelity and obedience to ye Pope , & that he was ye popes subject. was asked whether he were the Popes subject here in England.

He said to this effect, that the Pope was supreme heade under Christ over the whole Catholike Churche, both in England and in al places , in all ecclesiasticall causes, and that the Pope hadde over the Churche in this realme, as great authoritie as he hadde a hundred yeres past, and as he now

He was asked whether he thought the Pope to be a true teacher, and further whether the Pope were so warranted by any assurance or entailement of gods spirite to the Sea of Rome, that whatsoever doctrine he autenticallye delivered, the people of Christes Church were bound to receive and believe it . He sayde to this effecte, that the Pope may sinne or erre, as a man or a Doctor, but being Pope hee so hath the holy spirite of GOD, that as Pope he can not erre, and all his doctrines and sentences are true. It was saide to him that the Pope had by his Bul autentically as Pope , and wyth alleging the authoritie of Christ , & of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and Plenitudinem potestatis the fulnesse of power derived to himselfe, published this sentence as a sentence definitive and declaratory , that , Regnans in excelsis, cui data est omnis in caelo et

in terra potestas, Apostolorum principem Petrum Petrique successorem Romanum Pontificem, in potestatis plenitudine, unum super omnes gentes et omnia regna principem constituit, qui euellat, destruat, dissipet, disperdat, plantet et aedificet . Hee that raigneth in Heaven

(meaning Christ) to whom is given al power in heaven and in earth, hath appointed the prince of the Apostles Peter, and Peters successor the Bishop of Rome, in fulnesse of power, alone Prince over all nations and kingdomes, which may pul up, destroye, scatter, overthrowe, plante and build, & c . He was asked whether this were true doctrine or no. He boldly and definitivelye affirmed to this effect , that it is true doctrine . It was further saide to him, that the Pope had in the same sentence further declared definitively and expreslye in these words : De Apostolicae potestatis plenitudine, declaramus praedictamElizabetam hereticam et haereticorum fautricem , Quinetiam ipsam praetenso regni praedicti jure, nec non omni et quocunque dominio, dignitate, privilegioque privatam : Et item proceres, subditos et populos dicti regni, ac caeteros omnes qui illi quomodocunque jurauerunt, a juramento huiusmodi ac omni prorsus dominii, fidelitatis et obsequii debito, perpetuo absolutos, pro ut illos presentiumautoritate absolvimus , et privamus eandem Elizabetam pretenso jure regni aliisque omnibus supradictis, that is to say : Out of the fulnesse of the Apostolical power, we declare the saide Elizabeth an heretike and a favourer of Hereticks, and also hir from the pretensed right of the sayd Realme to be deprived , and moreover all the nobilitie, subjectes, and people of the said realm , and all other that have anye way sworne unto hir, assoyled for ever from such oth, and utterly from al dutie of allegeance , fidelitie and obedience , as we them assoyle by authoritie of these presentes , and doe deprive the same Elizabeth , of the pretensed righte of the kingdome and all other things aforesaid.

He was asked whether ye Pope had herein erred or no. He answered that he hoped that the Pope in so declaring did not erre. He was further asked whether he spake this with intentto perswade the Queenes subjects to be of the saide opinion that himself was. He sayd to this effect, that he came to save soules, and spake these things with intent and of purpose, that the people and hearers shoulde bee perswaded to be of his opinion , and so he wished them to be. Hereupon certain of the Bench and of the Courte, were required to sette downe his wordes in writing, and so they presentlye did . And then the Clerkes were commaunded, uppon these wordes to frame an enditement against him upon the statute of the xxiij yeare of hir Majesties raigne, entitled, An Act to retaine the Queenes Majesties subjectes in their due obedience. Which was done with ye advise of a learned Counceller, Maister James Dalton one of the Counsell of the Citie , and of hir Majesties Commission there, and was preferred to the great inquest of inquirie, & found Billa vera contayning this matter: That Everarde Haunce late of London , Clerke, otherwise called Everard Ducket late of London, Clerke, the xxviij daye of July in the yeare of the raigne of our soveraigne Lady Elizabeth by the grace of God of England , France & Ireland Queene , defender of the faith & c. xxiij .

Sepulchre, in the ward of Faringdon without, of London aforesaid, malitiously intending to withdrawe the subjectes of our sayde soveraigne Ladye the Queene , from their naturall obedience towarde our saide soveraigne Ladye the Queene , and from the religion by hyr Majesties authoritie within hir dominions established, to the Romish religion , in ful and open sessions, then and there holden, before the Justices of our saide soveraigne Ladye the Queene of gaole deliverie of hir goale of Newgate of London aforesaide, then and there judicially sitting, did say & utter these false malitious and slanderous words, that is to saye , that he (meaning himself) the saide Everard , being in England, is subject to the pope in ecclesiasticall things . And that the Pope hath now the same authority here in England , over the Church, that he had a hundred yeares past, and whiche he nowe hath at Rome. And that the Pope hathe the holy spirite of God given unto him, and can not erre. And that the Pope in publishing that he hath authoritie to depose Kings and Princes hath delivered true doctrine . And where the Pope by his sentence hathe declared the Queene (meaning our saide soveraigne Lady the Queene ) an hereticke , and deprived hir of hyr Crowne of this realme of England, and hir subjects discharged of their allegeance , he hopeth that the Pope therein hath not erred. And that hee (meaning himselfe the saide Everard) is a Priest , and was so made at Rhemes beyond the Seas, and that he came over to wynne soules , and wished the Queenes subjectes to believe him in all these things. And that that which he hath spoken before, he spake it with purpose, and to that intent that the Queenes subjectes should believe him and be of the same opinion.

And further that the sayde Everard , by the words aforesayde

by him uttered, malitiously and trayterously, then and there dyd

put in practise, to withdraw the subjectes of our said soveraigne Lady the Queene , from the religion now by hir Majesties authoritie established within hir dominions, to ye Romish religion , with intent to withdraw the same subjectes of our saide soveraigne Lady the Queene from their naturall obedience to our sayde Ladye the Queene , against the peace of our said lady ye Queene , hir Crowne and dignitie, and againste the forme of the statute in such case lately made and provided . Uppon this Bil of enditement the sayd Everard was arraigned , where he denyed the wordes in such forme as they were sette downe, and so was admitted to pleade not giltie , & for his tryal he did, after the usual maner, put himselfe upon God and the country. A Jurie of London was called, & hee admitted to chalenge: he chalenged none, & so they were sworne, namely Anthony Hall

and his fellowes. The Jurie being sworn, the prisoner was againe commaunded to holde up his hande. He held up his left hand, but was admonished to hold uppe his right hand , with a rebuke given him by the Recorder, that he held up his left hand for a superstitious gesture, withholding his righte hand on hys breast : but in truth he held up his left hand, bycause his righte hande was occupied in holding his shackles to ease his legges . He obeyed and helde up his right hand. The Inditement was read and the Jurie were willed to heare their evidence . Bicause the speches and matter of this treason, was uttered and done in presence of the whole Bench, and audience there attending , one of the Commission there, who had sette downe the moste of those speeches in wryting, gave the evidence for the Queene , and recited his doings & speeches in manner as is declared, offering hys othe for the information of the Jurie , and the rest of the Justices affyrmed all the saide evidence to be true. And he which gave the evidence, further advertised the Jurie, that, for as muche as themselves were sworne, and were present, and did themselves heare the speeches uttered by the prisoner, they might and were bound in vertue of their othe, to take knowledge of so muche as lay in their owne knowledge, and whyche themselves had seene and hearde. Moreover, forasmuche as the prisoner, in pleading not gilty, and putting himselfe upon God and the countrey, had made denyall of the matter contained in the inditement, hee that gave the evidence, recited every particular of his speech, concluding severally to every parcel, with asking the prisoner whether were true or no. And then he confessed eche parte by it selfe . So after a keeper sworne, the Jurie departed , and after consultation shortly returned, and gave up their verdict, that he was guilty. The prisoner spake some frowarde speeches in justification of hys former treasons , not now worthy of recitall. Maister Recorder verye learnedlye (as for his great learning he is righte well able, and for his true zeale to God and hys soveraigne, and for the honor of hys profession of law, he is ever moste ready) declared how falsely,

any power over the Church of Englande is attributed to the Pope, and howe, by the common law, alwayes the Kings of this realme, have bin the chiefe over the Churche and Churche matters of this realme. Maister Sekforde likewise shewed, that this position that the Pope might depose Princes, was a doctrine not holden by the Papists themselves in times paste in this realme : and thereof gave example in the Popes commaundement to King Edwarde the firste , to leave hys intermedling with the Crowne of Scotlande, which commandement not onely the King did refuse to obey, but also the Nobilitie by speciall letter to ye Pope under their hands saide that the King should not obey . it admonition , gave judgeMaister Recorder, after a verye grave , ment of death upon the prisoner as in case of highe treason according to the statute, viz that he should be drawen, hanged, and quartred. And the Sheriffes were given in charge to see execution done. Whereupon he was carryed backe to the Gaole of Newgate, and one Maister Crowley, a grave Preacher, was sente for, and required by the Lord Maior, and the reste of the Bench, to resort to the prisoner, and to give him good instruction and counsel to die as a good Christian , which charge Maister Crowley accepted, and after some conferencehad with the prisoner, he returned with reporte , that he founde no conformitie in the prisoner, nor willingnesse to heare any good advise or exhortation: and further delivered a paper subscribed with sundry handes as followeth. Vicesimo octavo Julii, 1581. The same day Everard Hance alias Ducket being charitablye talked with by Robert Crowley preacher , at the appointment of the Lord Maior and the Bench , amongest other trayterous blasphemies, uttered these words following: Treason against the Prince is no sinne against God.

matter supposed to be specially made treason, and that so al the circumstance of the speech and answers did prove , and that the prisoner himselfe in such sense had delivered it generally touching treasons against her Highnesse person and estate. was thought good by some , that he should be executed the was next morning , beying Saturday , for this reason following. supposed , that in such simple plainenesse of flat treasonable affection as then appeered rife & rancke within him, he would not

sticke to utter the lyke common and universall disposition of the reste of hys secte , whereby hir Majestie and the state might be the better bothe warned and armed : where on the other side it was doubted, that some Papist might in longer delay, get some accesse unto him and advise him for the safetie of the reste of them, & for keepyng their common counsels secret till they bee riper for execution, to keepe backe such matter as otherwise he woulde more freely have uttered to the confutation of Doctor Allens Apologie, which beareth ye world falsly in hand, that Papists be true subjects : which matter was not feared in vaine, as afterwards fell out in hys qualifying of his speech, touching treason against the Queene to be no sinne. But the opinion for delay prevailed , not for any hope of doing good with him which was of all men holden desperate, but in respect of dutie , yt hir Majesties Counsell mighte bee informed thereof, to the intent , that if it were theyr pleasures he mighte bee further examined touching the instructions, intent, and practises of himselfe and hys complices, agaynst the Queene and hir Crowne, which peradventure was the lesse regarded, for that their doings are otherwise sufficiently knowen, and this was but one of ye simplest of them . But certaine it is, Crimine ab uno disce omnes, they be all as false, though not al so foolishe. Saterday being the next day folowing , and the sessions continuing, were broughte from the Fleete, from the Gatehouse, and from Newgate, and the Counters, sundry prisoners indited upon the statute for refusing to come to church &c. Among whom were also divers seminarie Priests which (no doubte) were of Duckets opinion, and if they hadde bin in like maner asked , woulde have likewise professed . But thus far they went, yt though they said they wer the Queenes true subjectes, and would serve and obey hir as theyr Soveraigne: yet being asked whether they would obey and serve hir as their rightfull soveraigne if the Pope commaunded the contrarie , they refused to answere . was sayd unto them that the Earles of Northumberland & Westmerland and the Northern rebels in ye North parts of England and also Saunders with his partakers in Ireland had actuallye rebelled against hir Majestie, by the Popes Bul , warrant and commandement. They were asked whether they thought these commaundements of the Pope to be lawfull commaundements, and the saide rebellions to be lawful doings. They refused to answere . They were asked the Pope commanded themselves to rebel & beare armes against the Queene , whether they woulde so do or no. They refused to answer directly, saying only that they trusted the Pope would not so

command . Al these persons refusing to come to Church, being convicted by their owne confession, had judgement according to the statute, to paye twentie pounde for everye moneth of such wilful absence from Church. Some endevoured to excuse themselves by saying that they had bene in prison during the time of their such absence . But this excuse was not allowed, by cause their imprisonment was not such as did withholde them from comming to Church, for that by order of the Counsels letters , they had bin & styll were offered to come to church wyth theyr keeper. Beside that this Cavil was so much the more manifest, for that they were by ye Benche offered to be discharged of the penaltie , if they yet would come to Church & there demeane them according to the statute, which they refused. Upon Monday folowing being the laste of July, about eight of the clocke in ye morning, Everard Haunce was carried to Tyborn to execution. Ther (being by like admonished by some instruction, knowe not of whom) to uphold some good opinion of ye rest of his sect, he qualifyed his former words, that treason against the Queene was no sin, by saying that he ment it only of the treason of denying the supremacy, which yet was not true : for he spake generally of al treasons against the Queene , as is before declared, so giving to understand that (as he saide at his arrainement ) he toke the Queene for a Prince lawfully deprived by ye Popes authority , & in the judgement of his sect , & that in yt respect it was lawful and no sin to enterprise any treason against hir. This he also confirmed to be his opinion , in that he answering the objection touching hir Majesties supremacie over the ecclesiastical state, did apply unto hir Majestie ye prohibition yt she might not speake in the congregation, which text maketh as much against hir Kingly estate over hir subjectes, as against hir governance over ye Clergy, appeareth also in this that but in truth against neither of both. he wickedly refused at the houre of his death to pray, or assent to any prayer at all , for the Queene , in any respect, either of hyr Kingly place or otherwise. And so continuingin the obstinate profession of his false Romish faith, and requiring the prayers of those of his sect , & refusing all other intercession to God for him, he suffered due paines of death and execution, as in cases of hye treason is due and accustomed by the lawes of this realm , to ye gret dread of Gods judgements to himself, & terrible example to other . Almightie God give to his complices speedie repentaunce, and to all other a perpetuall constauncie in trueth of religion, and fidelitie to theyr lawful and gratious soveraigne, and to hir Majestie a long and most prosperous raign.

II . BLESSED THOMAS ALFIELD & VEN. THOMAS WEBLEY. July 6, 1585. , Blessed Thomas Alfield native of Gloucester , son of an Eton master, scholar of Eton and fellow of King's College , Cambridge , came as a new convert to Douay in 1576. In March, 1581 , he returned a priest to the English mission . In April, 1582 , he was a prisoner in the Tower. Failing undertorture , or threat of torture , he yielded so far as to consent to go to church, and was released. He then returned, penitent , to the college at Rheims . In September , 1584, he was back in England distributing a large supply, which he had brought over, of Allen's newly printed Defence of Catholics. This was the offence for which in July, 1585 , he was brought to trial and condemned to death under the statute of 23 Eliz., c. 2, against " seditious " books . For a detailed hostile account of his trial see C.R.S. , v, p. 117, to which the present report may be regarded as a sequel . Concerning Thomas Webley (who is not yet beatified) we learn from this report much valuableinformation : his birthplace, his familyhe must have been nearly related to John Webley, who was Mayor of Gloucester in 1583-4, and to Henry Webley, the martyr of 1588 his apprenticeship to a London dyer who was either himself named Crabb or had married a widow of that name ; his conversion through a journey made with B. Thomas Alfield . That must have been in or before 1582. In 1585 he was caught helping the priest to distribute Allen's book. Being still an apprentice he was left on bail in the charge of his master : then hastily summoned to trial and executed within twentyfour hours, obstinate to the last. The registers of the Dyers Company perished in the Great Fire, or they would certainly have told us more about young Thomas Webley. For Topcliffe's report (March 18, 1584-5) on him and his friend William Crabb see C.R.S. , v, p . 105. It is worth noticing that when later on (April 25, 1586) Crabb was taken in an attempt to cross the seas, he was in the company of Henry Webley. The full title of Allen's book, for distributing which these two martyrs suffered , is as follows : A TRUE, SINCERE AND MO | DEST DEFENCE OF ENGLISH CATHOLIQUES that sufferfor their | Faith both at home and abroade : against a false, seditious and slaunderous Libel intituled ; THE Wherin is declared, EXECUTION OF JUSTICE IN ENGLAND. how uniustlie the Protestants doe charge Catholiques with treason ; how untrulie they deny their persecution for Religion ; and how deceitfullie they seeke to abuse strangers about the cause , greatnes, and maner of their sufferinges, with divers other matters | pertaining to this purpose. I No date or place , 8vo . , 222 pp. was written by Allen in English in the summer of 1584, and translated into Latin under his direction the same year. The Latin title is AD PERSECUTORES | ANGLOS PRO CATHOLICIS domi forisque persecutionem suf | ferentibus , contra falsum seditiosum et contumeliosum Libellum, inscriptum | IUSTITIA BRITANNICA , | vera, sincera et modesta Responsio, Scripta primum idiomate Anglicano , et deinde translata in Latinum. -No date or place , 8vo.,

is sufficiently known unto many honorable personages and divers other of this Realme, how this lewd preest Awfield hath of long time lived about London , secretly seducing the people to embrace his devilishdoctrine and to win them from their due alleagance towards God and their Prince ; and how by frequentingthe company of divers ignorant and simple people he did win them to be pertakers of his Romish & Antechristian Sinagoge . And to the end that some parte of his life and religion may plainly appeere to the common people, as also that the true cause of his death and his fellow companion may sufficiently be known : have taken in hand this short discourse, cheefly to beat downe the untrue reports of their favorers and fellowe Traitours, who secretly murmure that their death was only for Conscience sake and their Religion being Papists; although it shal be evidently seen by the sequel that they died rebellious traitours to God, their Prince and Cuntry. And yet notwithstanding received greater favour of law then either their offence deserved, or themselves or their favourers would on the contrary parte have ministred. And that their life & proceedings may generally be seen to all good subjects, have perticulerly and breefly set downe the trueth of the same , as well to satisfie them heerin as also to admonish others how to shun their pestilent doctrine wher with in many places they doo great harme ; the Lord for his mercie sake root them out speedily.

after he had been sufficiently trained, having his lattine tung, he went beyond the seas, and was there reconciled to the Pope, and entred into the Vowe of preesthood in the Seminary at Rheimes; and being there nusseled up among many the olde Caterpillers of that Church, he was sent into England with other Seminaries to insence and seduce the people against their Prince and Cuntry, and as much as in him lay to perswade them from their due obedience against their naturall and peerelesse Soveraigne; yea, to lay violent handes upon her, and seek to subvert and displace her highnes (whome God long preserve ) ; yea, and to murdure and make havock on Christian Princes, therby to bring in and advaunce the Romish religion to the uttermoste of their powers. This detestable Course took such effect in these hel-hounds that they after their comming insenced a number, who have sundry waies attempted the same, as well in seeking to murther her Majestie , as also in betraying of the Realme, to bring in forraine Invasion, and therby to spoyle the life and goods of every good subject . A plaine example whereof you had lately by Throgmorton & William Parry, alias ap harry ; yea & divers others who moste worthily have been executed for the same . And such Hipotiks (hypocrites ?) as these abhominable Seminaries weer perswaders of them to doo it to their utter confusion, shame & disgrace to their line and successours for ever .

This Jebusiticall preest, being a seducer among ye rest, was taken and Imprisonedin the Tower of London , and afterward upon his hipocritical submission he was set at liberty; yet not contented with this her Majesties gratious pardon, he departed over sea and returned prively, bringing over about 300 books & upward containing nothing but treason , heresie , blasphemy, and detestable doctrine writen by an Arch-papist called D. Allin ; which books he commended and did cause them to be dispearsed by his favourers , especially by Thomas Webley and William Crab , both notorious Papists, who as you shall heer, had been a favourer of the Gospel until they were seduced from it by this preest and other, as shall heerafter be shewed . And heer is to be noted that this Awfeld not only by departing out of the Realme and returning with these seditious books did incurre her Majesties displeasure and by the lawe deserved death as a fellon, but also by being found heere forty daies after the ende of the last parliament (being a Jesuit or Seminary Preest) did deserve by the lawe to die as a traitour . These books before mencioned being come to light, and this preest also that brought them over ; who being taken & examined was found guiltie of the same and after upon the fifth day of July at the sessions house in the olde Bailey was condemned and adjudged with great favour to be hanged at Tibourn, onely for bringing over these seditious bookes into England contrary to the lawes of this Realme ; the penaltie whereof is to dye as a fellon, & the dispersers or publishers of such like books to receive the same punishment , And this was the cause of his death, although he Z

deserved a sharper punishment in cases of hye treason wherein he stood at the time of his death. He was a person of meane stature , not full forty yeers of age and of no special good life but lived losely. It is known he was a greevous offendor to God, a Traitour to his prince , and a secret enemy to his country; although at his death he seemed to cullour the matter with a kinde of fained obedience as you shall after heer in the speech uttered at his death. The Life of Thomas Weblyn (sic.) .

This Thomas Weblin was borne in Glocester. His Parents being of good wealth and honest reporte brought him up in the feare of God, and being come to reasonable yeers did place him in London with a dier, being a man of good reputation within the Citie, where in the first parte of his prentiship he was so zealouse that what

good book he could buye or borrowe to read, or what good sermone he could repaire unto, he accounted it ye greatest felicitie he had, and continued in that kinde of profession a long time untill his going downe with Awfeeld to Glocester ; who being a Preest and a ranke Papist , did so incense and perswade this Weblin with his reronious doctrine , that although he went thether a protestant, he returned an arrogant Papist . And moreover Awfeeld so applied his labour herein that in short time he perswaded also one William Crab , the sonne of Webleis mistresse, dwelling in the same house, to be one of his schollers; and dealt so farre with them both that he brought them acquainted at Throgmortuns * house with one of his servants whose name was Rogers; to which place they oft times did repaire, and continually had what freendship Rogers could doe for them, as well for conference as otherwise; so that Webley would not come to ye Church, neither would read any book of divinitie , but privily would say they were nought , heriticall, falsely expounded or translated . But God, seeing his wilfulnes, gave him over even to the lust of his own hart, and suffered him to continue in his own blindness; so that at the returne of this Preest after he had been banished, being come into England with those books before mencioned, did think this Weblin a meet Instrument for this purpose, and made him privie to the same , and got him to be the distributer of many of them, to those whome he knewof that Sodomiticall Sinagoge. Which in shorte time it pleased God to bring to light ; wherupon he was secretly sent for and examined, and permitted to remaine with his maister, going under sureties untill Munday ye fifth of this July, at what time he was sent for to the Sessions house ; where remaining obstinate in defence of ye same, he was condemned to be hanged at Tibourn on the next day

following.

The end and execution of these two before mentioned. Upon the sixt day of this July, 1585, Maister Fidens, the usuall Minister accustomed to repaire to all condemned prisoners in Newgate, came thether in the morning about five of the clock to confer with the two prisoners before named, and perswaded them to prepare them toward death. But they seemed very obstinate , saying that they were sufficiently setled thereunto & therfore needed him not, and desired him that he would let them alone; neverthelesse he did not neglect his duety towards them, but willed them to beleve Christe Jesus , that they might die the servants of the Lord. And they answered him that they which did not beleve as they beleeved, were damned to the bottomles pit of hell fire ; neither could he get any better woordes of them but continued obstinate in their irreligious opinion . And between sixe and seaven of the Clocke the Carte was brought to Newgate by ye officers , which received them & convaied them towards Tibourn. But Maister Fidens, seeing their wilfulnes , went on foot after; & when the prisoners were at the Church walle of S. Andrewes in Holborn , the Minister of the church named M. Eaten came unto them & in Christian charitie perswaded them to think in what state they then stood, how wilfully they had dealt against ye Queens Majesties proceedings, & how greatly they had incurred her highnes displeasure towards them, wishing them to pray for her Majestie, to acknowledge their offence, & hartely be sorry for the same . But Awfeeld said, You doo not well to trouble us in these our Meditations . Nevertheless, he then seeing them so neere their death and in what state they stood, willed that the Cart should be staied, and so went up and conferred with them. But the Preeste seemed to stande in the defence of them both, saying they were even as good subjects as any there present. But Maister Eaten saide , If that bee so , wherfore were you condemned?

But he answered, they neither had offended her Majestie nor any way deserved that Death . Then he laide open their offence and the Princes Authoritie , and shewed how every subject ought to submit himselfe to the Authoritie of the higher powers, and repeated the minde of the fathers thereupon ; but in conclusion, whatsoever he did, the Preeste seemed to wil ye yonger man not to beleeve him ; wherat ye Minister said to the Preeste, Your offence is great in that you are giltie of the bloode of this man, meaning the yonger man, who was induced by him therunto. The Preeste notwithstanding said he would take it upon him if he should suffer torments in nine hells for the same .

But he would not any way be advised by him, & so came to the place of execution , wher, after the Executioner had fastened them with ye Rops about their necks , the preest began to professe much by saying he would shew him selfe a dutifull subject ; but it proved to the contrary, for al was in the advauncement of him selfe and the Pope, and in ye defence of ye book which he offered to justifie ; and in conclusion, although he professed him selfe to be her Majesties subject , and proffered to fight in her Majesties defence against all persons that should invade the Realme, yet he died a Traitour, and his fellowe companion also, denying her Majestie of her due title concerning the supremesiein the Church of England under God, whose authoritie she hath, and ought of duety to be acknowledged of every good Subject ; refusing to have any to pray with them , but desiring all Catholicks to say one Credo for them in ye midst of their Agony . And thus remaining in their obstinate opinion they were soone cut off.

III . FOURTEEN MARTYRS OF THE ARMADA YEAR . August 1588. For the very important official documents relative to the twentyfive martyrs, priests and laymen , who suffered between August 28th and October 5th, 1588, reference should be made to Father Pollen's scholarly article on The Massacre of 1588 " in C.R.S. , v, pp. 150-165. The short relation which here follows deals only with the fourteen who were condemned at the Old Bailey on Saturday, August 26th. Eight of these five priests and two laymen, and Felton, who, though a cleric and a professed friar, was not yet ordained suffered on Monday 28th. The remainder were to be executed two days later and were still living when our tract was published hurried through the press, no doubt, so as to be on sale at Tyburn on the Wednesday morning. This haste accounts for the errors in " the names of them that are to be executed . " One of them, Foxwell, never was executed . At the last moment his courage seems to have failed him, and " he was reprieved and had his pardon (C.R.S. , v, pp. 158 , 159). His place at Tyburn was taken by B. Margaret Ward, who suffered along with her helper John Roche and the other four on the 30th, but whose name does not appear on the list here printed . Her execution would seem to have been an afterthought . Richard Flewett " is of course the layman Richard Lloyd, " Flewett" and Floyd being obvious attempts to spell the Welsh name phonetically. For him see C.R.S. , v, p. 154 (Serjeant Puckering's list of persons

catalogue ) . The name Flower, under which he appears in Challoner " and most of the Catalogues , seems to have originated in an error or . misprint of Stow's (edit 1615, p. 750 ) . It has led sometimes to confusion of Richard Lloyd with the priest, B. William Way , who was tried and condemned as William Flower, and executed at Kingston on September 23rd. In one place (the certificate above -mentioned ) Lloyd is designated alias Graye ; but it is very doubtful whether this was really an alias . On the one hand aliases were rarely used by laymen. On the other we must remember that the surname Lloyd is merely a collateral form of llwyd, the Welsh for grey. It seems to be a mere anglicising of the Welsh name , much as that of another Welsh martyr. Blessed Richard Gwyn, was anglicised into White. Richard Lloyd is the only one of the fourteen martyrs of August 28th and 30th who is not now beatified; he being apparently deferred so that all uncertainty may be removed as to his name. Of the two who " recanted , " John Vallentine appears in Puckering's list among those condemned for being reconciled , but with the added note, Recant. et relent . ideo pardon . William Pere is quite unknown. He can hardly be the priest William Parry, who , having been prisoner in the Clink since before the Act of 1585, was not liable to its penalties ; neither is there any record of his having yielded. For him see the prison - lists, C.R.S. , ii , pp . 246-283 passim, C.R.S. , v, p . 156. No clue exists as to the authorship of this tract. It bears an obvious resemblance in form , language and thought to No. II . was entered in the Stationers' Register on August 28th, the day of the first executions , as licensed to Henry Carre , the bookseller.

First , how that all ye sect or fellowship of these sorts of Traitors in generall have sought the deprivation of her Majestie from her Crown and dignitie Royall, whereunto shee is lawfully descended . Secondly, to murther, Massaker, spoile, and put downe the chiefest props and pillers of this land, namely her highnes most honorable Councell, & other the Peeres and Nobilitie thereof. Thirdly, by complotting with forreine power to procure invasion , thereby to overthrow the peaceable government , and to ruinate the whole state and common wealth of England . And last of all, to set up some forrein usurping Potentate , and under him to bring in a new kinde of Religion, stuffed full of blasphemie, idolatrie, hipocrisie, and such other trash mixed with the dregs & relikes of old Antichrist : and thereby for ever to roote out the peaceable government of this land , and the free libertie of the Gospell of Christ Jesus now daily preached and freely exercised amongst us ; which God of his mercie continue to the worlds ende. The ground of all which wicked practises hath been wrought by the Popes of Rome and their Ministers ; and the better to bring the same to passe, first they sought to slander and beat downe the Christian religion now used by sending Bulles into this land, besides other such like Popish toyes as Agnus Deis & pardons to sundry their Ministers, and to their friends & favourers Copes and such like furniture, for to sing & say Masses and obsequies for the soules of the dead; and have condemned us as heritikes and damnable people, without wee would leave of the profession of the true and sincere religion now amongst us used , & become ( as they termed ) it members of the Church of Rome in acknowledging the PopeSupreme head of the Church of England . And to the ende it might take a deepe impression in the hearts of the people , he did send over from Rome a verie sedicious and traiterous Bull against the Queenes most excellent Majestie, and the estates of this land, whereby hee committedgreat offence to God and wrong to her highnes by cursing her Majestie with Bell, booke and candle, whose highnes everie moment the God of heaven blesseth and preserveth. And sure if the Pope had any sparke of true Christianitie in him, hee would never offer (as hee hath lately done by a new Bull) to curse her whom God blesseth: but rather would punish and send home by banishing from him such of her bad & unnaturall subjects now within his Regiment , whom hee and his Ministers hath long persuaded to his Papall doctrine , now plaine fugitives and right Rebels to God, their Prince and Countrie : and the rather hee ought so to doo, by reason she is a lawful Prince born by Royall desent and lawfull succession , to weare the Crowne and Diademe of England . And they are subjects to her, who in her dominions representeth upon earth the person of God, sitting in the Seate of God to minister justice to everyone, as she hath done during the whole time of her reign, even with great clemencie and mercie to sundry bad and notorious offenders. Amongst whom his bad ministers and her Majesties bad and evil disposed subjects, hee found out one John Felton ; to him was this Bull committed in

charge, upon trust that hee should set up the same in England : which thing he did at the Bishop of Londons gate, where, for his traiterous & rash attempt the saide Felton was justly executed. Yet it is to be noted, that the said Felton , being a verie bad member to this land, did so farre nussell his sonne up in Popery, and did acquaint him with such like traiterous practises, that he would needes becomea fellow companion with Traitors even to the death , and was condemned in this company for high treason. * Sundry of these foureteene now condemned Traitors were Seminary Priestes, such as , seeing the Popes Bulles were not regarded, nor his perdons once received into the hearts of good subjects, nor might not bee suffered to bee brought over into this lande without danger of life, they and other their fellow Traitors devised this shift. They have come into this lande in the habits and apparrell of Gentlemen, and such as were not likely to bee adjudged for Massing or Seminary Priestes; and these jolly headded fellowes, having good maintenance from sundry their secrete favourers and fellowe Traitors , would scrape acquaintance with Gentlemen, yea, and with some of greater degree in title, where and with whom they would ride a hawking and hunting. Some of them under the colour of comming a wooing to their daughters, their neighbours heires, or Gentlemens daughters about the Countrie, woulde thus remayne sometime a moneth , two or three, more or lesse. then doubtfull of anie thing, or that hee or they were suspected , then they woulde hie them from that place into some other Gentlemans house , or out of that shire into another, until they did heare by their friendes and secrete favourers howe everie thing stood from time to time : and so during the time of their sojourning in those and such like places , they did secretely perswade their friendes, favourers, and wel-willers from their due obedience to their Prince and Countrie , contrarie to lawe. And thus by their subtil persuasion they woon a great number in this land so far from their obedience , that they were readie to take armes against the Queenes most excellent Majestie, and her loyall subjects, when any insurrection was; as manie did in the North parts of England with the Earles of Northumberland and Westmerland, and as it had been seene at the late comming of the Spaniards to invade this Realme, had not the same been verie providently & carefully foreseene & prevented by the Queens most excellent Majestie and her wise and honorable Councell. Some others of them hath been practisers and conspirers of Treasons with notorious Traitors , as Throgmorton , Babington , with his confederates and such like, who have heretofore been executed for their inhumane treasons towardes their Prince and Countrie . Some of these Seminary Priests are such as returned into this land since they were banished, and by her Majesties great clemencie sent out of the land, at her highnes great charges ; & since their returne , they have secretly lurked in sundry places at England , to the entent only to seduse and withdraw sundry her loving subjects

from their due obedience as is aforesaid: which is of it selfe high

treason. Thus doth the pope and the secret enimies to his land send forth such their hanniels, or rather as may tearme them their hell-hounds, who, to bring to passe their wicked ententes, shame not to perswade that it is lawful to murder princes, and to lay violent handesupon them beeing the Lords annoynted . O damnable opinion ! farre be it from the heartes of Gods children once to conceave or harbor so wicked a thought in their heartes. But the devill, who is the author of evill , being accustomed to have his chappell neere where God buildeth hys Church, stirreth up his wicked members to be inventors of such detestable opinions therby to creepe into the Church of God and to be mayntained and taken hold of among ignorant people as an article of their faith. And this is to be noted that whatsoever harme the pope enterpriseth or entendeth towards England , he seldome sendeth any of his owne nation, but hee doth generally stirre up English men to be the instruments thereof. And first like a foxe he drawes them from us as lambes; and after hee hath well nussled them in his hereticall doctrine and blinde ignorance, then sendeth he them among us like woolves to infect, seduce and entangle other his countreymen with the same : so that he seeketh by all meanes to make one of us to be the spoyle and overthrowe of an other , whereby is plainly discerned the malicious minde and intent which he beareth towardes us. God for his mercy sake poure his grace into our heartes and graunt us the spirite of true understanding , that we may avoyd the snares of such charmers and inchaunters, and live like true subjectes to our Prince and country. To conclude, these seminarie priestes, these inhumayne Traytors against God, their prince and country, being brought to the ordinary place of Judgement before her Majesties Justices at the Sessions house, were severally arraigned , indicted and found giltie and condemned for the matters before recited, with much more circumstance then is here needefull to be set downe. Where they were found very obstinate, not shewing any sufficient ground of doctrine or reason for the defence of their erronious opinions and treasons committed, onely saying they are Catholickes, and therein they will die. And notwithstanding her Majesties mercy was there offered by the worshipful Justices to pardon and save some of them from death for the aforesaid offences which they had worthely deserved (so that and upon condition they would hereafter become confirmable [ sic] to her Majesties lawes and live from time to time like good & true subjectes) ; yet did they obstinately refuse the same , and denied hir Majestie to be supreme head of the Church of England , except John Vallentine and William Pere; which two men willingly recanted, acknowledging the Queenes most excellent Majestie to be Supreame head of the church of England , and by an othe ministred unto them by her Majesties Justices then present, , a north-country term = a greedy dog, a good-for-nothing * Hanniel mischievous fellow , etc. See Wright's Dialect Dict.

did sweare to become confirmable to her highnesse : and to live as a true subject to her Majestie during life.

is to be remembred that there was sixteene in all arraigned, whereof these two did recant , so that there was fourteene condemned besids them that did recant : which fourteene for their manifolde and greevous treasons and their perverst and obstinate opinions were set forth to heere their Judgementes, which was as followeth : That ten of them should be drawen, hanged and quartered, and the other foure to be hanged, where it should please hir highnesse to appoynt. And so they being pinnioned and their handesbound , were conveyed backe againe to the Gaole of Newgate in such sorte that all the people might easily see them .

The maner and order of their execution with the places where they were executed.

After that judgement had proceeded against them as is aforesaid, the Sheriffes of the citie of London stayed the execution of these traytors untill they might understand hir Majesties further pleasure. And albeit hir highnesse was fully satisfied of their wicked and secret practises, their unnaturall and ungodly offences committed towardes God, her person and the whole state of the realme, as also howe perverst and obstinate they were in their irreligious opinions, yet did her highnesse on the next day following, of hir most gracious accustomed and unspeakable clemencie give commaundement, that none of those fourteene Traytors shoulde be drawen or quartered according to their judgement before receaved: but with great mercy and compassion towardes them did mittigate the same , onely commaunding that they should be hanged in sundry places neere London. So that upon the 28 of August last in the forenoone William Gunter , one of the Traytors, being a seminary priest, came first into the cart, who sayd nothing but sate him downe. After him came Henry Weblen, who sayd in the carte that he was a man of occupation , and that hee was condemned for harboring of such as were seminary priests , denying obstinately that he never offended hir Majestie, but that he died for his conscience : and yet to harbour such as were traytors is treason of it selfe , and to denie hir highnesse to be supreame head of the Church of England is also high treason : and so laffing and therin smiling in the carte he sat him down. After him came William Deane, a man of a very perverst minde and opinion , who mumbling to him selfe in Latine, and seeming to justifie his bad and detestable opinion , the people cryed, " Downe with him into the carte. Whereunto these three being tied, they were conveyed along the citie to Myle-end, where William Deane and Henry Webley , shewing themselves perverst traitors, were hanged uppon a jebbit newly set up for them. Then was William Gunter convaied into Hollywell fieldes neere to the Theator or Playhouse, where Maister Sheriffe willed him to call upon God for

pardon and acknowledge his offences to hir Majestie ; whereat he answered that he would aske pardon of God, but not of hir Majestie , saying he had never offended her, and so he was hanged upon a newe jebbit prepared for him. After this the sheriffes and their officers returned to Newgate where they fetcht from thence in a carte Robert Morten , Hugh More, and Thomas Acton. These three were tyed in the carte, and so were conveyed into Lincolnes Inne fieldes, where, upon a jebbet, using the like speeche as the other had done, two of them ended their lives . From thence they conveyed the third man to Clarken Well, whose name was Thomas Acton ; where a jebbet was set up, and there he ended his life in maner as the rest did before. Then the sheriffs againe returned to Newgate, and tooke foorth Thomas Felton aforesayd ; who with James Clarkson were set uppon two severall horses , pinnioned , their feete tyed under horsse belly, and their handes tyed also , who being conveied to Braynford, were there executed accordingly . And thus they were hanged in severall places to the example of all other their favourers and secret Traytors; whome the Lord of his mercy converte or speedely bring to light , that they may be cut off by Justice according to their deserte.

of the martyrs the hateful interference of the protestant ministers. The long controversial harangue of the " learned and godly Preacher ," and the long prayers which follow it, were delivered, it must be remembered , for the benefit of three men already weary with their rough three-mile journey in the executioner's cart from Newgate to Mile End Green. For two of them, after witnessingtheir companion's death, there remained a second long stage from Mile End Green to Holywell nigh the Theater " in Shoreditch; for one yet a third stage, "before he reached the scene of his passion on Clerkenwell Green. Stow's brief record of the three martyrs is as follows: The fift of October, John Weldon and William Hartley, made priests at Paris and remaining here contrary to a statute, were hanged , the one at the Miles end, the other nigh the Theator ; and Robert Sutton, for beeing reconciled to the Sea of Rome , was hanged at Clerkenwell (p. 751 ). Much has been added to our knowledge of these three martyrs since Challoner. In particular , it is now fully established that the John Weldon who suffered at Mile End on October 5, 1588, must be identified with the John Hewitt of the Douay Diaries and other sources. (See T. G. Law in Month, Jan., 1879. Also H. E. Dunn in Burton & Pollen's Lives of English Martyrs, 1583-88, with the authorities there cited. To these should be added for the indictments of Weldon and Hartley, Jeaffreson , Middlesex County Records , vols. and ii.) Our present tract, though described in Harleian Miscellany, x, p. 380, and used by the two writers just named , is now for the first time reprinted in full from the copy in the Lambeth Library. A second copy, the one described by T. G. Law, then the property of Canon Estcourt, is now in the library of Oscott College. This Oscott copy is dated at the end 24 October, 1588 , but the date does not appear on the Lambeth copy. The only other recorded copy is in the Henry Huntington Library in California (Short Title Catalogue, n. 25,229). The pamphlet was duly licensed and is entered in the Stationers Register under the name of Richard Jones , the printer, on October 18, 1588. The title as there entered is : The Arraignement and execucon of Three Traitors, viz John Weldon , Willyam Hartley, and Robarte Sutton (see Arber, ii , p. 504) . Richard Jones was a well- known printer , living at the Rose and Crown over against the Falcon, near unto Holborn Bridge without Newgate , his business being mostly of the ballad and pamphlet sort. was he who printed in 1583 The Severall Executions and Confessions of John Slade & John Bodye, which has been reprinted by Father Pollen in Acts of Eng. MM. and by J. B. Wainwright in Burton and Pollen's Lives . That book also, like this, carries on its title page coarsely executed wood-cuts, intended no doubt to stand as portraits of the two martyrs , and rather less displeasing than the three here

presented , which can scarcely be accepted as genuine portraits. The present True Report is a quarto of 24 pp. The Lambeth copy, much cut down, is bound with several others of a similar character, in

a volume stamped with the initials of Archbishop Bancroft. This tract, like the others , was published anonymouslyand we have no indication of its authorship. It is difficult, however , to resist the impression that it was written by the " learned and godly Preacher himself, who fills so large a space in it. Whoever it was , he writes fine, vigorous English, worthy of a better cause.

This was the effect of his inditement: the forme am not able to set downe, neither is it now necessary. Beeing uppon this inditement arraigned on Friday the fourth of October at the Sessions house nigh Newgate, before the right honourable the L. Maior, the L.

Tower of London , Sir Rowland Haiward, Sir Wolston Dixie Knights, and divers other her Majesties Justices in commission of Oyer and determiner , and pleading thereuntonot giltie, he was asked how he would be tried. Whereunto hee would make no answere; and being required by the Clearke of the peace for the Countie of Midd ., after the reading of his said inditement oftentimes, to make certaine answere howhe would be tried according to the lawes of this realme and common dutie of all subjects, which (in such cases) are to bee tried by God and their Countrey ; the said Weldon , taking exceptions first to the inditement as false and untrue: then to the Jurie, or enquest to be impaneled upon him, as unfit men to trie him, being meere lay men : yea, and to the whole Bench, as unwoorthie to bee his Judges, resolved (as hee saied very maliciouslie, and slaunderouslie) before hand to condemne all Catholiques brought before them: affirmed himselfe to be a Priest , and therefore not triable by the common lawes , nor bounde to make answere to the inditement. And albeit he was answered by M. Recorder, verie gravelie and learnedly , that might appeare by dyvers old estatutes, and other antient recordes that even in the time of superstition , when the Pope exercised his greatest jurisdiction within this realme, yet Cleargiemen, Priestes, Abbots , yea Bishops, and Archbishops, might bee , and have bene in some cases tried by the common lawes, and by the verdict of twelve laye men, as by sundrie instances by him it was made manifest : yet the sayd Weldon, persisting in his obstinacie, and abusing the patience and long suffering of those Honourable and wor-

Maior and the rest of the Judges and Justices, to be executed as a Traitour, viz . to be hanged, drawen, and quartered, and M. Sheriffes were thereupon required to see execution. 2. In like manner, WILLIAM HARTLEY , alias Garton , borne at Nottingham, was indited and arraigned after the same maner and for the same cause that Weldon was: which Hartley pleaded to his inditement , Not giltie, and after some frivolous allegations he was content to put himselfe to triall of God and the Countrey . * Against whome among other evidences , to prove his traiterous disposition, it was testified to his face by the oath of one Walton then present that a Letter was sent this last Summer by the said Hartley out of England to Parris, to certaine Seminarie Priests there, importing the full resolution of the said Hartley, and some other his confederates, immediatelie uppon the landing of the Spaniardes to have suppressed her Majesties Tower of London , and to have fired the Cittie. This Letter Walton affirmed , that hee saw in Parris ; and albeit Hartley denied the writing thereof , saieing that hee was sicke at the time when it would bee written, yet to make his good affection to her Majestie & the state further apparaunt , there was openly read a part of his owne examination , taken before Maister James Daulton, and Maister Richard Yoong Esquires, two of her Majesties Justices, and subscribed with his own hand, wherein among other things he had set it downe in plaine words, that if the Pope by his Apostolique authoritie do deprive the Q. Majestie, and doe discharge her subjectes of their obedience , and send an Armie to restore the Catholique Romaine Religion into England , he would not take her Majesties part, but woulde praye that the Catholique Romaine Armie might prevaile in that cause of Catholique religion: and in that faith he would spend , if he had them , ten thousand Millions of lives : and this he speaketh (as hee said) in the integrity of his soule. In the end he being found giltie by the Jury, after many froward and frivolous speeches, rather testifieng his impenitencie and impudencie , then deserving further memorie, he hadde Judgement as the first. Or rather at " Wyn," i.e., Wilne in Derbyshire, near the Notts. boundary.* See C.R.S. , v, p. 20. See the indictment , Jeaffreson, ii , 193.

After the denouncing whereof, they were had from the barre to Newgate for that night.

Why, quoth he, " should aske her forgivenes, whom I never"offended ? " " No ? saith IM. Sheriffe Otley, hast thou not offended her ? Wast thou not borne a subject within her highnes dominions ?

selfe into Flaunders , meaning (as it was to be conjectured) to kill the Earle of Leicester: which his Honour beeing advertised of, caused thee

to bee apprehended and sent over into England . Wherefore sith thy treacherie & hipocrisy is so notorius , stand not now upon Apologies and protestations to justifie thy selfe: but hearken unto the charitable & godly exhortation made unto thee by Maister Shiriffe: aske God and her Majesty forgivenes, from the bottome of the hart, that we may al be witnesses of thy conversion. have, quoth he, don nothing but as a Romaine Catholique priest ought to do, by ye direction of our most holy father the Pope, being the head of the Church : who onely hath authoritie over al persons , and in all causes Ecclesiasticall , as both by the word of God, counsailes , fathers , and all antiquitie it hath bene, and is to be graunted : and in this Catholique Romaine religion will die, and willingly shead my blood. Thy answer, quoth the Preacher, although putteth mee in smale hope to do thee good, yet least it should do the hearers harme : will (by M. Sheriffes patience) sith wee have so much time, and the executioner is not yet come , a little examine it, that so thy folly and falshood may the more appeare, and both thou and thy fellowes be drawen, if not to sorrow, which wish, yet at the least to shame and silence. Thy answere, as conceive , may be reduced to these three heads : first, a Pharisaicall justification of thine own doings. Secondly : a false suggestion of the Popes authority . Thirdly : a finall resolution , to die as thou hast lived : that is, an enemy to God and his Church , and a Traitor to thy prince & country. To the first thou saiest , thou hast done as a Romaine Catholique priest ought to do . Such Epythetons given to Priests or priesthood never hard: The scriptures mention onely three priesthoods: of Melchizedeck, proper onely to Christ : of Aaron , determined at the comming of Christ: & of the new testament , which priesthood onely is Catholique : that is, common or universall to the whole Church of God and every member of the same : according to the saieng of S. Peter : Vos estis regale sacerdotium : You are a royale priesthood. thou meane by a Romain priest , a priest professing the faith which the church of Rome held for the first 600 yeares after Christ, albeit our faith be not tied to persons nor places , but grounded on Christ Jesus the corner stone, yet would to God thou didst trulie professe that faith : then shuld we soone agree . That Church of Rome was a persecuted Church, not a persecuting Church . The Bishops thereof did not make Martyrs, as these doe nowe, but were martired themselves to the number of 25 in order one after another, being elected, not by factions conspiring , not by power, or parts taking, not by mony or frends making, as they be now: but by ye free voices of ye people & of the cleargie, with the approbation & consent of the Emperour : & as for the title, jurisdiction and institution of doctrin which the church of Rome now holdeth (to speake nothing of their maner of life & conversation, for that were too odious) , say, yt neither these, nor any of these , ever descended

from ye primitive Age of ye Apostles, or from their succession : so that , although it hath the name of the Church Apostolical , and doth bring foorth a long genealogie of outwarde succession from the Apostles, as the Pharisies did in Christ hys time bring theyr discent from Abraham theyr father : yet this is onelie in name, and not in matter or effect. So that as Christ saied of the Pharisies, that they were the children , not of Abraham , but of the devill : so may say, that this Church of Rome now present, with this title, jurisIdiction and doctrine now used , can not be fathered upon the Apostles, nor deserveth to be called by that name of primitive Church, but that it hath an other author & that you are Scismatiks, that have departed from the antient faith of the Church of Rome, and not wee . To the second part of thy answere, concerning the authoritie of the Pope, whom thou saiest to bee supreame head over the Church, I would knowe of thee whence hee challengeth this his authoritie ? For that (quoth Weldon) he is heir unto Peter. Why then (quoth the Preacher) I will answere thee as Barnard answered Eugenius in his 237. Epistle ad Eugenium papam : Verus haeres Petri dicet cum Petro , Non dominantes in clerum, sed forma facta gregi. Verus successor Pauli dicet cum Paulo, Non dominamur fidei vestrae, sed adjutores sumus gaudii vestri . Verus discipulus Christi , audiet Christum dicentem et docentem : Estote mites quia ego mitis sum. In English thus . The true heire of Peter wil say with Peter : We are not Lords over the whole congregation, but are examples unto the flocke. The true successour of Paule will say with Paule : Wee are not Lords over your faith, but we are furtherers of your joy. The true disciple of Christ wil hear his Master teaching and saieng : Be you humble and meeke , for I am humble and meeke . * Thus thou hearest by the authority of S. Barnard , a learned and auntient father, (because you papists stand so much upon fathers), how the Pope your most holy father is neyther heire unto Peter, nor successour unto Paule, nor yet the disciple of Christ; and therefore wee might say boldly, and may say trulye, that he is

Antechrist , whose doctrine is hereticallie corrupted , whose title is falsely grounded, and whose Jurisdiction is presumptuously usurped. And where thou saiest, that the Popes sole authority in causes Ecclesiasticall may be proved by the word of God, counsailes, fathers , and all antiquitie: thou sinnest in being either of ignorance, thou know not the truth, or of malicious impudency , thou know it and will not confesse : for by all these it will appeare, that not the Pope but the Prince hath had, and ought to have, the supreame authority in al causes within their own dominions yea, even over the bishops themselves. And albeit must have regard and not to dispute : to the time, for thou art come hither to die, yet for Scriptures, David beeing a king numbred all the Priestes and Levites , and disposed them into 24 orders or courses , as they

came about : which institution Ezechias, being also a King, afterward renewed: which continued from David even till the time of Zachary , at the comming of Christ , beeing of Abias course , which was the right order . Did not Salomon a king displace Abiathar the priest by his kingly power, & placed Sadoch ? Did not Jehosephat and Josias beeing kinges, appoint Levits and Priestes ? And in the new testament , did not Christ himselfe both give and teach tribute to be given to Caesar ? to Caesar say, and not to the high Priest ? Did hee graunt Pilate to have authoritie over his owne person, and that from God ? Againe , declaring the Kings of nations to have dominion over them, and willing his disciples not to do so, dooth hee not give us to understand the difference betweene the regiment of his spirituall Kingdome , and of the kingdomes of this world, willing all worldly states to be subject unto the superior rulers and Magistrates : in whose regiment is dominion and subjection, and not in the other ? And doth not S. Paul say: Let every soule be subject to the higher powers ? Upon which words both Chrisostome and Theophilact do note, that neither Pope, Cardinall , Patriarcke , Byshop , Fryer, Moonke, Martyr or man, is excepted or exempted : Universos erudit sive Sacerdos ille sit, sive Monachus, sive Apostolus, ut se principibus subdant : He teacheth all sorts (say they), whether he be priest, Monke, or Apostle, that they should submit themselves unto their Princes. And dooth not Saint Augustine writing ad Bonifacium say in like sort : Quicunque legibus imperatoris, qui pro dei veritate feruntur, obtemperare non vult, acquirit grande supplicium : that is : Whosoever refuseth the lawes of the Emperour , which make for the truth of God, incurreth the daunger of great punishment : And in another place, writing to Cresconius , hath hee not these words : reges, sicut eis divinitus praecipitur, deo serviunt in In hoc enim quantum reges, si in suo regno bona jubeant mala prohibeant, non solum quae pertinent ad humanam societatem, verum quae ad divinam religionem, etc. That is : Kings according as it is enjoined them of God, doo serve God in that they are kings, if they in their Kingdome, commaund those things that bee good, and forbid those thinges that be evil : such as appertaine not onely to humaine society, but also to Gods Religion . And to come to your owne doctors . Dooth not Thomas of Aquine describing the office of a King, say thus : Hoc officium Rex se suscepisse cognoscat, ut sit in regno, sicut in corpore anima, et sicut deus in Mundo ? Let a King understand yt he hath taken this office uppon him, to bee in his kingdome as the soule within the body, and as God in the worlde . And as for Counsels : In the counsell of Nice, which was holden Anno 340 , the 6 Canon of the said Counsell, we finde it thus decreed : That in every province and precinct , some one Church and Bishoppe of the same , was appointed to have the jurisdiction of other Churches about, secundum morem antiquum, that is , after the auntient custome, as the wordes of the counsell do purport : so that the Bishop of Alexandria should have power, over Libia and Pentapolis .

bishop of Rome hath the like in some maner, and so likewise in Antioch, Jerusalem, and other countries , let such order be kept (sayeth the decree ) that none of the Metropolitane Cities bee defrauded of the dignity due and proper unto them . In this decree , where the Bishop of Alexandria, Jerusalem, and Antioch, are joyned together in one like maner of dignity with the Bishoppe of Rome : there appeareth no difference of honour to bee meant therein , much lesse any soveraintie allowed him. After this, followeth a generall counsell in Affrick, called the sixt Counsell of Carthage, holden Anno 420. Where were assembled two hundreth and seventeene Bishops : among whome was Saint Augustine himselfe. This Counsell continued the space of five

years, wherein was great contention , about the Supreamacie and

jurisdiction of Rome, the Bishoppe whereof was then Zozimus. This Zozimus, the Romaine Bishop, had received the same time into the communion of ye Church, without any examination , one that came to complaine unto him out of Affricke, named Apiarius, a Priest , whome Aurelius the Metrapolitan with the Counsell of Aphrike had worthelie excommunicated for hys detestable conditions before. Upon this, Zozimus, after hee had shewed this favour to Apiarius, for that hee dyd appeale unto him, sendeth to the Councell hys messengers , to wit, Faustus, Bishoppe of Potentyne , and two Priestes of the Church of Rome, named Philippus and Asellus, with thys request, that not onely Apiarius whom hee had absolved, might bee received of them againe, but that it might also bee lawful for Bishops or Priestes to appeale from the sentence of theyr Metropolytanes and of the Councel to the Sea of Roome: alleadging for himselfe the wordes (as hee pretended) taken out of the Nicene Councell. The Councell of Carthage hearing this , and remembring no such thing in the Councell of Nice to have beene decred: and yet not suspecting the Bishop of Roome to dare to falsefie the wordes of that Councell: writeth againe to Zozimus, declaring that they never reade to theyre remembraunce in theyr common Latine Exempler of the Nicene Councell any such Cannon: yet notwithstanding, for quietnes sake, they would observe the same for the tyme, till they might procure the originall Coppies of that Councell to bee sent to them from Constantinople, Alexandriaand Antioch. To the lyke effect afterward they wrote to Pope Boniface which then succeeded Zozimus; and thirdlie also, to Celestinus, which shortlie after succeeded Boniface. In the meane time this foresayde Councell sent theyr Legates Marcellus and Innocentius to Atticus, Patriarcke of Constantinople , and to Cyrrillus, Patriarcke of Alexandria , for the autentique coppies in Greeke of the sayd Nycene Councell : and after due examination , fynding there no such president as Zozimus and hys successours Bonifacius and Celestinuspretended, theywrote a sharpe Letter to the sayd Celestinus, declaring unto hym that they had perused all the Coppies of the Councell of Nice, and could find no such canon as he and his predecessors had falsely alledged ; and,

therwithal refuting the said cannon before mentioned , declared how the decrees of the Nicene Councell had , upon just causes and great considerations, committed all and singular persons Ecclesiasticall, as well Byshoppes as other, unto the charge of their Metropolitanes : for that the fathers of that Counselldid well foresee that all controveries might there best bee ended where they were begun: and that therefore they ought not to runne to any foraigne judge, or seeke further for outlandish helpe, as though God woulde inspire his justice and truth of examining unto one Bishoppe, and denie to a multitude congregated in a whole counsel: or as thoughthe itgrace of God would be prest and readie in one province but not in another , to instruct his ministers both prudentlye to understand Judgement, and constantly to maintaine the same . Wherefore , as by these and other reasons , they thought it not convenient for them to bring their matters over unto Rome, so, neyther was to bee found (said they) by any Counsell of the olde fathers decreed, that any legate shold be sent from Rome to them for deciding their controversies : and therefore exhorted they the said Bishop of Rome, that hee woulde not induce fumosum typum seculi in ecclesiam Christi, quae lucem simplicitatis et humilitatis praefert iis qui deum diligunt that is : that hee would not induce the swelling pride of the world into the Church of Christ : which Church sheweth and giveth the light of simplicitie and of humilitie to such as love to see God. And as for the malefactour Apiarius, whome the Bishop of Rome had absolved and received to the communion of the Church, this counsel afterward found him culpable and therefore proceeded against him, brought him to open confession of his faults, and so injoined him due penance for his demerits : notwithstanding the absolution and inconsiderate cleering of the Bishoppe of Rome before proceeding. There was also celebrated another counsel, called , Sinodus Melcuitana about the yeare 442. Where was decreed under paine of excommunication , that no Minister , Priest, or Bishop, shoulde appeale over the sea to the Bishop of Rome. And thus thou seest (Weldon) howe the Counsels make against thee. To these might ad infinit other authorities out of the fathers, beside lawes imperiall of Honorius , Justinian, Lodouicus Pius , Carolus Magnus, and divers others: to speake nothing of the auntient estatutes of this realme, whereby may appeare, how falsely thou affirmest the Pope to have been acknowledged in all times , and of all persons supreme head of the Church. But th'excutioner is come, and time passeth awaye. Wherfore to the last parte of thy answere, thy wilfulnes and obstinacie, we all are sorry for , and thou oughtest in conscience to be ashamed of it. Thou thinkest, peradventure , to gaine among the Papists ye name of a Martyr, but remember, is not paena , but causa , quae facit martyrem, not ye punishment but the cause that maketh ye Martyr : wherfore reconcile thy self to God, submit thy selfe to her Majestie , repent thee of thy sins , praye as a Christian should, that is with a deep feeling of the sinne without dispaire, and a stedfast hope in ye Mercy of God, sealed up in the bloud of Christe Jesus , without presumption ,

The execution of Hartley. After Weldons execution, the other prisoners were brought to Holywell, nigh the Theater , where Hartley was to suffer. The preacher ceased not all the way to perswade him to repentance, and to aske her Majesty forgivenes ; and when they were come to the place of execution appointed for Hartley, he was willed to prepare am, quoth he, " willing and resolved to dye , him selfe to dye . hoping by this my short pain and suffering to enter into everlasting glorye. Remember, Hartley, quoth the Preacher, what was saide to thy fellowe . It is not the paine, but the cause , that maketh the Martyr , thou hast greevously offended God, her Majestie, and this whole land : thou commest hither to dye, not as a martyr, but as a traitor, for high treason : because that , contrary bothe to the lawes of God and this Realme, thou, sente in by our common enemy the Pope, hast sought to seduce her Majesties subjectes, to withdrawe them from their obedience to our dread soveraigne Queene Elizabeth , whom ye Lord long preserve over us , to move them to rebellyon , and to prepare them to joyne with the forraine enemye, that should come to invade us : besides those perticuler treasons vouched yesterday to thy face, for conspiring (with others) to surprise her Majesties Tower of London , and to fire this famous Citie. These are horrible treasons & therfore as we all say with S. Augustine (De verbis apostoli , sermone 2) , Dei Misericordia nos coronat, non enim digni fuimus, quos vocaret, vocatos justificaret , justificatos glorificaret. is the mercy of God that crowneth us, for we were not worthy of our calling, nor being called of our justification, nor being justified of our glorification. And with the same Augustine (Epist. 52 ), Nihil sumus per nos : peccata nostra sunt, merita autem dei ; suplicium nobis debetur, et cum premium venerit, dona sua coronabit, non merita nostra. We are nothing of our selves ; our sins are our own, but our merits are gods; we have deserved nothing but death , and when our reward shall come, God wil crowne his owne giftes , not our merits . For that our works, they be good are Gods and not ours, doone of duety, and therfore voide of desert ; for the creature cannot binde the creator, nor man deserve of God. And therfore saye with S. Paule (in the 2. to the is Ephesians) , that by grace we are saved, not of our selves ; the gifte of God, and commeth not of woorkes: And with the same Saint Paule ( Rom. ii ) , it be of grace, it is no more of woorkes, or

Quisquis a catholica ecclesia fuerit seperatus, quantumlibet laudabiliter se vivere existimet, hoc solo scelere quod a Christi unitate disiunctus est, non habebit vitam ; sed ira dei manet super eum.

" And I pray thee, quoth the Preacher, what doo these woords make either for thee or against us ? These are S. August. words : Whosoever is seperated from the Catholique Church, although he otherwaies behave him selfe never so laudably, yet in this one offence because he is seperatedfrom the unityof the Church , he shal not have life, but the wrath of God remaineth upon him. Whye we graunt all this, and ad heerunto (if thou wilt) that which the same S. Augustine hath in another place, Non habebit deum patrem qui non agnoscit ecclesiam matrem, He shal never have God for his father, that wil not acknowledge ye Church for his Mother. But this is ( as said before) spoke of the Church of Christ , not of ye Church of Rome, which Churche is his bodye, whereof he speaketh John 15 : Abide in Me, and in you : as the braunch cannot beare fruit of it selfe, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, exceptye abide in me. am the Vine : ye are the braunches , he that abideth in meand in him, the same bringethfoorth much fruit : a man abide not in me, he is cast foorth as a braunch, that withereth : etc. Heerby thou maist see, or you at ye least (good people) doo see, (for he that is filthy, let him be filthy still ) , that it is the Church of Christe, that is the piller of trueth, whence we must have direction, and the arke of Noah , wherin we shall have salvation , even when all ye wicked shall be drowned . But to thee, Sutton, (quoth he) I feare thou hast dissembled with us all this while , and therefore (good people ), let us pray & leave him to God. Wherupon the preacher then also made a godly prayer , after ye which the prisoner persisting in his wilfulnes was forthwith executed.

As will be seen from the title our present very brief relation is only a part of a longer one. By far the greater part of the tract is taken up with the highly sensational story of poor Agnes Bankyn, who, all that she confessed about herself was true, well deserved her fate; but that is beside our present purpose .

This Priest came thether apparelled in the habit of a Gentleman , in a dublet of blacke satten, cut with great cuts, & drawn out with white silke . He had on a paire of small round paine hose , & on everie paine a faire gold lace; his neather stockes were of purple silke, and a paire of bootes over them, Gentleman like, turnd downe at knee, and faced with velvet. He had a blacke felt hat on his head, and his haire was verie long, so that he could hardly be knowen from an ordinarie Gentleman. Thus being apparelled and come to the place of execution ,

conducted thether by the Sheerife of London, and the officers of the said Citie; for that the Jebbet was not full ready , the sheerife did withdrawe the prisoner into a house hard by, where an ancient & worshipfull Gentleman in office towards her Majestie had some time of conference with the prisoner. And when everie thing was in a readines, the prisoner was brought backe again to be executed. And first before hee went up, his boots were pulled off, and his neather stocks also, whereby his feete and legs were naked, his other clothes hung loose about him, with his hands tied, and so went hee up the ladder, the hangman being then readie on the top of the jebbet to receive him with the halter, which he put about his neck. Which done, the priest began to speake unto the people, shewing them that hee was a Priest , and after went about to defend the popish religion colorably , and seemed to justifie himselfe, by saying he had not offended her Majestie. Wherupon the Gentleman before mentioned spake unto ye priest , and shewed him wherein he had offended the laws of this land, in cases of high treason. First by being a Seminarie Priest ( therby a sworne enemie to this land), and havinglived out of the lande among her Majestiesenemies, was agayne lately returned onelie to persuade her Majesties subjectes from their due obedience . The confession of this priest also taken before in writing, was read openly, where he sayde that the Pope hath authoritie to depose the Queenes Majesty of England ; as though the Queens Majesty and the religionnow used in England , had bin under the government of the Pope , and therefore to bee disanulled at the Pope's pleasure; whereby hee denied her Majestie of her supremacie in the Churches of her dominions , which is high treason of it selfe. Last of all , he shewed unto the people, & avouched to the prisoners face, (which he coulde not denie) , that this priest who was an Englishman borne, and therefore a subject to her Majestie, contrarie to his duetie, had betaken himselfe a long time a subject & servant to the Pope , with sundrie other , who together were lately come over into England, to persuade her Majesties subjects from their obedience , by becomming assistants and favourers of a new invasion , now speedily pretended by the helhounds of the Romish Sinagogue, therby to become traitors to her Majestie, in working the ruine of this lande, as hath bin lately pretended, yet their hope made frustrate by Gods providence, who stil doubtles fighteth for this land , and defendeth all the true subjects thereof , for the sake of our holie Judith , who swaieth the sword of justice with great wisdome and mercie, whose person the God of heaven prosper and continue in this land, and grant unto her long life, and a peaceable raigne over us , that during her life she may so quaile the hearts of all the enimies to this land , that none hereafter may dare to attempt the hurt thereof. This Popish Priest aforesaid, after a few Popish praiers mumbled was turned from of the ladder, and permitted to hang himselfe, to until he was dead, and after was quartered in severall peeces, to be set up in severall places , to the example of al other hereafter. And over the Jebbet was written in great letters the cause of his death in these wordes, viz.

FOR TREASON AND FAVORING OF FORRAINE INVASION. In the forenone of the same daie also , there were two hanged, the one in Smithfield, and the other in the fieldes at Graies Inne lane end, for secret harboring , reciving and denying this Priest & others such pernitious persons , by whose meanes great hurt may arise . The one died a very obstinate Papist , the other a very penitent persen , sorie that hee had transgressed her Majesties laws in that case : which thing he onely did for worldly benefit . To conclude, let this their follie forewarne al others, how they enter into actions , and refraine from secret harbouring, releeving or succouring such leud persons , who seeke by all possible meanes to ruinate this lande, by depriving the Queenes most excellent Majestie, and bringing in foraine enimies: that by invasion they may shedde the bloude of innocents, and roote out all her Majesties loving subjects, which God grant may never come to passe, Amen.

VI. VEN. ARTHUR BELL, O.F.M. December II , 1643 . belongs a Our last tract to considerably later date than its predecessors. Parliament was now supreme, and had taken on itself the office of persecutor . Towards the end of September , 1643 , a packet of important papers had been seized ; amongst others the Brief of Urban VIII ordering the inception of the Ordinary Process for the Beatification of the then recent English Martyrs, and an instruction from the Archbishop of Cambrai, to whom the Cause had been entrusted, commissioning nine English priests as delegates to hold the necessary enquiries. The whole batch of documents was ordered to be printed as a Parliamentary paper, and appeared under the title of The Popes Brief : or ROMES Inquiry after the death of their Catholiques here in England... Printed for Edw. Husbands , December 7, 1643 (4to, 38 pp.) . For a full account of the Brief see Father John Morris in the Month for April, 1870.

Meanwhile one of the nine commissioners elect, Father Arthur Bell, in religion Father Francis , O.F.M., had himself fallen into the hands of the persecutors . On that same day, December 7th (the coincidence must have been designed) , he was tried and convicted of his priesthood, and on the 11th suffered the usual cruel sentence . Our present tract, short but to the point , was published on the day of the execution. The following short paragraph from The True Informer, a Parliamentary newspaper we have now come to the age of newspapersfor the week ending Saturday, December 9th, may be here added as a further illustration of the spirit of the times.

A RELATION OF THE CONDEMNATION OF FOURE MEN "FOR STEALING THE AMBASSADOURS PLATE AND OF FATHER BELL FOR BEING A POPISH PRIEST. The Quarter-sessions was kept this weeke in London according to the usuall course , and on Friday Decemb . 8, the Court proceeded to the condemnation of those that were the day before tried and found guilty

of severall crimes worthy of death. The parties condemned were these : One Father Bell, a popish Priest, was condemned for seducing His Majesties Subjects in England, and other practices agitated by him, contrary to the Lawes and Statutes of this Realme, and had his sentence to be drawne, hang'd and quartered, on Monday next, and his quarters to be set upon the 4 Gates of the City. After his condemnation , he spake to this effect . That he hoped shortly that all England should turne to the Roman Catholique Religion. Which

speech of his (if we consider the many designes of the papists) is not without ground. Yet notwithstanding, we hope , that that God who hath formerly delivered us from all their Machinations, will now declare himselfe for his owne Church and people , which should be the prayer of all good Protestants. There are also foure condemned for stealing the Ambassadours plate, and 5 others for several offences, who are

to be executed on Monday next.

This may serve to confute all the false reports of Aulicus and other Malignants, concerning that businesse. An earlier article in the same issue gives an account of the newly published Commission sent by the Pope into England, and some Observations thereupon. " It includes a summary of the Archbishop of Cambrai'sletter with the names of the nine Commissioners .

prove unsuccessfull to advance their owne Religion in these three Kingdoms , unlesse they kindled the like flames and combustions in England also , finding much favour from persons in authority in this Kingdome , who suffered them to go unpunished (although contrary to the Lawes and Statutes of this Kingdome ) they have so brought about their stratagems, as to cause a civill and unnaturall warre also in this Kingdome ; notwithstanding which designes of theirs so apparent to the whole world , it is beyond admiration to thinke that any of that viperous brood should be so audacious and still to continue in this Kingdom. And this may serve to satisfie the world what just cause there is to proceed against them in Justice for their Delinquency therein. But that which intend more particularly to informe you of at this time, is, concerning the Tryall , Condemnation and Execution of one Father BELL , who being taken by those who were inabled from thence by the State for that purpose, and laid in Newgate, and was brought to the Sessions House the last weeke; where being indicted upon the Statute, and putting himself upon God and his Countrey , the witnesses proving him to have been a Priest beyond the Seas, and that they had knowne him (being an Englishman borne) say Masse in England and to seduce divers of his Majesties subjects : Upon which Indictment the Jury found him guilty, and the Court proceeded to sentence , which was to this effect : That he should goe from thence to the place from whence he came (viz. Newgate) and from thence on a Hurdle to the place of Execution , and there to be hanged by the necke, cut downe alive and quartered , and his Quarters to be set upon the severall gates of the City. According to which sentence he was drawne on a Hurdle on Munday Decemb. 11. to Tyburne the place of Execution; where being come, he spake as followeth: stand here to die, and declare unto you all the cause of my cumming hither, nothing being brought or proved against me, but was only condemned for being a Priest of the Catholike Church . Had been a Heathen Priest, or a Priest after the Leviticall Order, then should not so much have wondred at it to have been put to death in a Christian Land; but that a Catholique Priest should be put to death by those that pretend to be Christians, and to follow Christ and his Gospel , this is that sensible men will wonder at. But those that have their judgements blinded , that ; " see nothing, they may proceed. to the like they have done before and so they doe now to me They pretend Lawes, but these Lawes as they were ill -made, so they have beene worse kept. Now professe before you all , and testifie here with my life and blood, before God and Jesus Christ his Sonne that is to judge, that die a true member of the Catholique Church. Being interrupted by one, who said, " You meane the Roman Church; saies he : you would have me distinguish it , with all my heart distinguish it from any Protestant Church, heretickes, or Conventicles, and call it the Roman Church.

You were not onely condemned for being a your , but it was proved against you, and you confessed , that Priest "« you were an Englishman borne, and that you went over to take , and you returned backe hither againe.

" There was not one word spoke of seducing. Mr Bridges spake, This is not a time to dispute , Mr Bell; pray apply your selfe to God , and humble your selfe before him . ' " Mr Bell spake, Here are many people , but suppose that they as are, Kingdome is , seduced ; and if a man labour to reduce the " them think it is good service.

Also there was one Captaine Towers, that pretended a warrant for the searching of malignants houses, and under that pretence, plundered the Countesse of Nottinghams house , and many other houses : and for this ( and very justly) was condemned to die ; and being brought to the place of execution, unexpectedly declared himselfe to be a Roman Catholique ; for being asked by the Minister of Newgate whether he died a Roman Catholique ? answered: Yes, die a Roman Catholique .

Another for robbing of Grayes Inne. And Maudlin Latch for murdering of her childe. Printed accordingto Order.

TWENTY -SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT. HE Council have pleasure in presenting their Twenty-seventh THE Annual Report . A new situation has arisen with regard to the offices of the Society. From the beginning the work was done and the spare volumes stored in the Secretary's house . For some years past, however, the Council meetings have been held at the Offices of the Society of St Vincent de Paul in Victoria Street , but circumstances make it probable that this accommodation will no longer be available . At the same time the Council realise that our back volumes and records cannot remain permanentlyat old Norfolk House, where they have been since the resignation of Mr Hansom and where the Hon. Secretary has been able to carry on his work. The Society is greatly indebted to the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk for so long allowing us to make use of part of their London House , though, of course , this arrangement cannot continue indefinitely. The Council have also had under consideration, at the same time , the provision of accommodation or the Gillow Library. It may be necessary to make some proposals to meet the new conditions . By this time the volume containing the Records of the English College at Valladolid should have been in the hands of members , but an unexpected delay has prevented its issue in time for the present meeting . The Miscellanea volume is practically all in type, the principal item being the Bishopthorpe collection of Recusant Returns made in the year 1735 by direction of Archbishop Blackburn . The volume will also contain the Kendal and Reading Registers and some smaller contributions . A volume of Lancashire Registers is also in the Press. The Bursar is pleased to report a generous donation from the late Mr P. B. Turnbull towards the preparation of the York Returns , and also the accession of the following sixteen new members since

June

1st ,

1930 :

Rt Rev. Monsignor Canon

Brown of Ushaw ; Rev. Alfred Gilbey ; Rev. Etienne Robo ; Rev. Cuthbert L. Waring; Mrs P. A. Boyan ; Messrs William Clarkson, Edmond Hutton , J. C. Macnamara ( Life Member) , J. T. Mumford ; the Universities of Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) , and St Louis , U.S.A.; the Huntingdon Public Library, California ; and the Public Libraries

in England of Hendon, Reading, and Southampton . The Society The Council have to record

loses three members by resignation .

with deep regret the deaths of the following members: Sir Henry Farnham Burke, Garter King of Arms, a Vice- President; Rt Rev. Ambrose Burton, Bishop of Clifton; Rt Rev. Monsignor Canon Nolan , Editor of the 7th Douay Diary ( C.R.S., Volume 28) ; Messrs John Brownbill, Hubert H. Edmondson, Thomas F. Farrell, and Philip B. Turnbull. R.I.P. The membership on May 31st , 1931, was 378. Four members of the Council retire in rotation: Mr J. P. Smith, Vice- President, Mr G. Elliot Anstruther, Mr G. F. Engelbach, and Fr C. A. Newdigate, S.J. All four members are available for re-election .

NOTICES . Members are requested to call the attention of their friends to the

Society and its work. Transcripts of interesting unpublished documents ready for the press, together with the loan of the originals for the purpose of collation, are invited . It is desired always to have material for half a dozen volumes ready for printing , as special donations for printing may enable the output of work to be increased . Offers of help in transcribing documents , especially in the Public Offices in London, where the greater part of the documentsrelating to the country are stored, are invited . Parish priests are especially requested to provide exact copies of old registers in their custody, or to give facilities for this being done . Serious loss of time and expense have been incurred in some cases by manuscript being sent incomplete or modified. It is desired to impress on transcribers that papers should be complete, without excisions , verbatim et literatim, although they may not agree with modern ideas . Merit lies in their absolute integrity and identity, as far as modern printing will allow. Members desirous of paying annual subscriptions through their bankers can be supplied with a " Banker's Order," on application to the Bursar or Secretary. is requested that corrections in names or addresses be kindly notified to the Secretary as soon as possible .

The Council has learnt with great regret of the deaths of the Bishop of Nottingham , Mr J. S. Hansom (the principal founder of the Society) , and Professor W. A. S. Hewins , a member of the Council .

TRANSACTIONS OF THE

TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. The Twenty- seventh Annual Meeting of the Catholic Record Society was held in the Rooms of the Society of Antiquaries, Burlington House, Piccadilly, W.1 , on Thursday , the 9th of July, 1931. The Right Hon. Viscount FitzAlan, K.G., President of the Society , tookthe Chair. During the course of the meeting, however, his Lordship had to leave, his presence being requiredin the House of Lords . The Chair was then taken by Mr John P. Smith, J.P. , Vice - President. Among those present were : Right Rev. Monsignor Duchemin; Right Rev. Monsignor Hallett ; Very Rev. Canon Fletcher ; Rev. Alphonsus Bonnar , O.F.M.; Rev. Hugh Bowler, O.S.B.; Rev. John E. Petit ; F. W. Chambers , K.S.G .; Major Francis Skeet, F.S.A.; Messrs R. C. Baigent, F.R.Hist.S .; G. E. J. Coldwell ; W. A. S. Hewins ; J. G. Macnamara; E. J. Raynor , and Mrs Raynor ; Andrew de Ternant ; J. Cyril M. Weale ; E. A. Wilkinson; L. C. Lindsay , J.P. , F.S.A. (Hon . Bursar) ; and R. C. Wilton , Hon . Secretary. Messages of regret for absence were received from the Right Rev. the Abbot of Ampleforth, O.S.B .; Right Rev. Monsignor Henson; Rev. Bede Camm, O.S.B.; J. H. Canning, K.S.G., O.B.E .; Col. Raleigh Chichester- Constable; Major Richard TrappesLomax , J.P.; Mr G. F. Engelbach; Mr Reginald M. Glencross , F.S.G., F.R.S.A.I.; and Mr Augustine Quinn, J.P. The Secretary, Mr R. C. Wilton , having read the AnnualReport, the President moved the adoption of the Report and the Balance Sheet attached : this was seconded by Rev. Hugh Bowler, O.S.B., and carried unanimously . Mr J. P. Smith, Vice - President, having taken the Chair at this point, said he had not come prepared to make a speech , but he would like to say a few words with regard to the issue of the volumes. We should like the volumes to come out regularly and systematically year by year, he said, " but those who have experience of printing know it is very difficult to say exactly when a volume will come out. Fresh questions arise from time to time, but think members will be satisfied to know that in addition to the Valladolid volume , which may be in our hands within a month or so, there are two others in course of preparation , one at least of which should be ready before Christmas. The Chairman then called upon the Hon . Bursar , Mr Lindsay, to propose a resolution as to taking any necessary action for the future accommodation of the Society.

Mr Lindsay:

9 We are in a great difficulty with regard to

storing our books and documents. want to ask the General Meeting to pass a resolution giving the Council full powers to act in case of emergency. Our difficulties at the present time are that we have the Gillow Library, with a certain number of valuable books given to us by the widow of the late Mr Gillow, and these are housed under the care of Miss Willis at the Reference Library at Kensington , but that is on sufferance. All our stock of documents and past volumes are at Old Norfolk House, which we may have to leave at any time. The time will come when we must find a place for our stock , and we likewise ought to have a decent office and library combined where people can come and consult our volumes, and the Secretary can do his work conveniently . move that the Council be empowered when the time comes to take the necessary steps to meet the emergency. We shall have to use some of our funds to do it ; we cannot take an office for nothing; that is really why want your sanction. In reply to a question from a member as to the number of volumes to be accommodated, Mr Baigent replied that the Gillow Library consisted approximately of 4,000 volumes, at present housed by Miss Willis in her Library . In addition we are just commencing to gather a few volumes which form the library of the Record Society proper, he said. Some of our members have been kind enough to make donations, and as time goes on and this becomes known , no doubt these donations will increase. At present the Library consists of a collection of works , most of which are rather old, but valuable for reference purposes and from the antiquarian point of view . But no doubt we shall later on receive copies of new volumes, and if we get some sort of accommodation our members will be able to make use of them. We have also our stock of surplus volumes. We are on the point of issuing our thirtieth volume and we have several copies of back volumes to supply the demands of new members. We have already given members warning that the early copies are getting very scarce indeed, and so we have had to put up the terms at which they can be supplied. But the storage takes up a certain amount of

space.

Mr Lindsay's resolution was seconded by Mr H. G. Macnamara and carried unanimously . The Chairman then asked the Rev. Hugh Bowler , O.S.B., to read a paper on the Recusant Records of the City of London . RECUSANT RECORDS IN THE ARCHIVES OF THE CITY OF LONDON .

have been asked to give a brief account of the results of some research work have been doing at the Guildhall on behalf of our Society. Here , among one of the fullest sets of municipal archives in existence , are preserved the Sessional Records of the City of London (as distinct from the County of Middlesex ) , consisting chiefly of a series of original files relating to the sessions held at the Old Bailey

ΤΟ

for the gaol delivery of Newgate , and the Sessions of the Peace held at the Guildhall during the 17th century and later . These sessions files comprise the indictments of persons on trial , the records of recognizances for appearance at the sessions to answer , to prosecute , or to give evidence , and other documents concerning the business of the court such as jury panels , warrants, precepts , and writs ; occasionally also records of inquests on persons who died in Newgate . They are all written on strips of parchment in abbreviated Latin except dur-

ing the period of the Commonwealth and Protectorate , when a quaintform of English was employed . The membranes for each sessionare strung together at one end , and are generallywrapped in the Newgate "calendar of the current date a strip of skin of varying length on which are inscribed the names of all the prisoners in the gaol at the time, the date of their committal and their offence, with brief marginal notes indicating the proceedings against each prisoner. The number of documents on each file ranges, roughly, between 80 and 400 ( came across one containing over 200 indictments) and their interest is very varied. Although they are mere records of crime, it is remarkable, as one goes through the indictments and recognizances, to see how they reflect the great events of the time. They also throw much light on the social and domestic life of the people their speech, their dress, their occupations and their amusements . This series of sessions files for London begins in the second year couple of odd files of an of the reign of James (January, 1605) earlier date exist and continues to the middle of the 18th century ; alas , with many gaps, notably in the reign of Charles , of which only I one file remains . The loss of the sessional records of Charles I's reign is most unfortunate from our point of view, for the period 1642-46 was one of most severe persecution in London, on which we need further enlightenment. However, the periods of James I, the Commonwealth and Protectorate, and Charles II are fairly well represented , while the files for the later reigns are practically complete . was gratifying to find the period of the Oates plot particularly well documented . have already examined all the extant files to the beginning of the reign of William and Mary over 350 in number and have carefully transcribed every document and item of Catholic interest which they contain. And those who know anything of Papist history of the 17th century will readily appreciate the possibilities of such a series of records in illustrating the administration of the penal laws. Among these documents have been discovered , for instance , the original indictments of four Tyburn martyrs the Ven . Robert Drury, Blessed Richard Newport, Thomas Maxfield, and Richard Langhorne; also three interesting lists of popish prisoners in Newgate in 1612-13 and several inquests on Catholic confessors who died for the Faith in Newgate at the time of the Oates plot. The most frequently occurring document of interest to us is the indictment for recusancy . Very many of these have been met with throughout the period, until the end of the reign of Charles particularly under James I, after the Gunpowder Plot. Catholic recusancy is also well represented among the recognizances during the periods of more active persecution . Another source of information which these archives contain is the series of Sessions Books which are extant from the first year of Charles II's reign ( 1660) and continue in almost uninterrupted sequence. They give brief notes on the proceedings against every person who for any reason had to appear at the various sessions , and are valuable

-a

II in corroborating and supplementing the evidence obtained from the files . For instance, where a file is missing , the Book fills the gapso these Session Books the assistance

that with of I think I may say with certainty that I know every instance of the appearance of a Catholic at the sessions under Charles II . They also indicate further

proceedings against persons whose indictments or recognizances appear on the files thus giving a brief, but complete outline of the penal history of London Catholics in that period. There are also two or three 17th century Precedent Books of Indictment . These contain model formulas of indictment for various crimes , and were intended for the guidance of Clerks of the Peace in drawing up these documents . Many of the formulas have been copied from actual indictments of an earlier date. Here discovered copies of indictments for priesthood, for recusancy , for conspiracy in the Powder Plot, and for refusing the Oath of Allegiance giving names and dates . Although such evidence is second-hand, would seem to be fairly trustworthy. One or two of these transcripts are from Charles I's reign for which, as have already said, there are no other sources available. Among the various bundles of Sessions Papers preserved at the Guildhall some very interesting documents have come to light : refer to several 17th and 18th-century lists of Londonpapistsdrawn up from the returns of churchwardens and constables . Most of these are copies of the actual lists handed in by the Town Clerk to the Privy Council for purposes of taxation, and are extant for the following dates : December, 1657, March and September , 1658 , under the Protectorate; for July , 1689 (William and Mary) ; for June , 1706; for April, 1711, and March, 1713 (Queen Anne) ; for July, 1715 (George I) ; for February, 1744, and October, 1745 ( George ) . A number of the original returns II from the wards and parishes made in August, 1723 , are also preserved , but the list which in all probability was constructed from these reports is missing. The lists give names, addresses, and occupations of all Papists or reputed Papists residing within the City, and should be valuable , not only to the Catholic genealogist , but also to those interested in the topographical history of London. Of a similar character is a list of Papists holding property in London early in the reign of George made in pursuance of the " Act to oblige Papists to register their names and real estates of the first year of that Sovereign . It is in tabulated form and gives the name and addresses of each Papist owner (there are 25 in all ; most of them residing in other parts of the country) and the names of the tenants; it also describes the estates , their situation and their yearly value . It is perhaps worth recording that all the sessions papers in these archives have been carefully examined , and copies made of every document bearing on the history of London Catholics . I had intended originally to confine myself to the 17th century, but these lists appeared so interesting that determined to add them also to my collection of transcripts. Altogether, the amount of material that these archives have yielded is large when one considers the comparatively small area covered by the City in the 17th century, and the fact that provincial Catholics were prohibited by law from residing within ten miles of . Under James , indeed , this statute, made immediately after the Powder Plot, did not deter large numbers of Catholic gentry from coming to Town and risking the £ 100 fine, but the later records show that finally had its effect, for they are concerned chiefly with Papist townspeople , merchants, and tradesmen only a few of the more

it-

I-

audacious gentlefolk being discovered in the outlying parishes of St. Dunstan- in-the-West, St. Anne , Blackfriars, and St. Andrew, Holborn. would be possible to generalise for a considerable time on the evidence provided by these records but must confine myself to one or two points of interest. One fact which strikes the student immediately is the extraordinary influx of Irish people into the City about the beginning of the 18th century. Before the time of the Oates plot ( 1678 ) Irish names hardly ever occur , but from this time onwards they appear with increasing frequency. Under George the majorityof London Catholics were evidently of Irish origin . The London records also bear witness to the peaceable and inoffensive character of the Catholic people of those times. No doubt, a sense of helplessness was induced among them by the antagonism of their neighbours who had the laws on their side, and by the knowledge of the comparative fewness of their own numbers . Very different was the behaviour of their companions in distress the Dissenters , whose indictments for " riotous assemblies after the Conventicle Act of 1664 would fill a bulky volume. The Papists, as a body, appear

have borne their troubles with resignation.

If they lost their at the continual suspicion in which they were held , at the frequent interference of the authorities in their daily lives and the repeated prosecutions , they were, for the most part , wise enough not to do so in public. On the important question of the constancy of London Catholics under persecution , these records provide sufficient evidence for us to assert that they were , as a body, definitely tenacious of their Faith. For example , under the Protectorate, out of a Catholic population of about one hundred , there are only five instances of the taking of the Oath of Abjuration and it is not certain that all these five persons were in reality Catholics. Anne Penkevill, a widow of the parish of Allhallowson-the-Wall, certainly was. This lady, who belonged to a fine old Catholic family of Cornish origin, long resident in London, seems to have retained at least a sense of humour in the midst of her troubles. In her efforts to evade the penalties of the law she adopted the alias of tempers

Saphirah Benkeine

a most appropriate choice under the circumstances and signed the oath not with her name but with her mark. The " mark she employed was a cipher is to be feared, however, that during the panic occasioned by the Oates plot, many gave way. A list of Papistswho took the oaths in Novemberand December , 1678 , gives fifty-five names . But in the balance against this defection we have the evidence that several Catholics went to prison rather than subscribe and were kept there until their death . What has been said will , trust, give some idea of the material which hope to get prepared for the press, and will enable you to estimate the value of sessional records as sources of English Catholic history in Reformation and post-Reformation times. The London records , a great part of which is said to have been destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, are meagre in comparison with some of the collections relating to the provincial Assizes . Some of these, indeed , are being or have been calendared by students employed by variousCounty historical societies , but there still remain many archives up and down the country in which these Sessional records lie untouched, or at least unopened , since the day when they were first filed and put away. is , undoubtedly, a proposition worth considering that some Catholic research students should concentrate upon them before the

ravages of time render them altogether illegible. Their intrinsic interest and the light they throw on local history would well repay the necessarily laborious work entailed in their examination.

Major Francis Skeet, J.P. , in moving a vote of thanks to Father Bowler , asked how much space roughly the printing of his work would take up. should think that the material have got Father Bowler : together so far, would take up about a volume and a half of the

normal size . Major Skeet: Do you have to eliminate any Quakers ? Father Bowler : The names of Quakers and other Protestant Dissenters are occasionally to be found among those of Catholics on the indictments for recusancy and, unfortunately, is impossible it to distinguish them with certainty. But such instances are few. The Statute , 23 Eliz. , cap. 1 upon which these indictments were based was definitely aimed at Popish recusants, and there can " of persons " so proceeded against be no doubt that the great majority

were resolute Catholics. The Chairman seconded the vote of thanks, and said was the intention of the Council to deal with the matter as soon as they

could, and it would probably mean two volumes. The vote of thanks was carried unanimously . should like to add an observation about the Mr Baigent : county returns being examined . Members will recollect that about five or six years ago reference was made in the Chairman's speech at a meeting to the statement that the Board of Historical Studies was prepared to consider theses prepared by Catholic students on such matters of interest , and that arrangements would be made for their impartial examination . that sort of thing can be done eventually these two matters may be brought together, because we can have a student preparing a thesis on that kind of question it will be very excellent . Already one of our members has been able to secure a degree on a thesis so presented an account of the Catholic problem in the latter part of the sixteenth century which is a good precedent. It is desirable that students should engage in such interesting research work; it would be of great value for the benefit of other readers and investigators . The re-election of the four retiring members was then moved and carried. Mr F. W. Chambersproposed a vote of thanks to Lord FitzAlan, which was carried unanimously . The Secretary proposed a vote of thanks to the Society of Antiquaries for kindly granting the use of their Room; this was seconded by Mr L. C. Lindsay and carried unanimously .
