ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The original purposeof this volume wasto make available someof the documents relating to recusancy or recusants, otherthan those adequately dealt with in the Calendarsofthe HistoricalManuscripts Commissionor elsewhere , from the private collection (known as the Cecil Papers ) belonging to the Marquessof Salisbury and preserved at Hatfield House

Owing tothevastamount of unpublished materialonthissubject in this and other collections, it was decided to extend the range of this volume, calling it a MISCELLANEA , thereby providingmaterialon recusant history duringthe reigns of Elizabeth I and JamesI. In drawingon these severalsources I have become heavily indebted.

For the greater part, the documents belong to the Marquessof Salisbury, to whom I offer my sincere thanks for his kindness in allowing me to transcribe, and for his permissionto publishwithtwo reproductions, any of the documents relating to the subjectin his collection

Iamgratefulforthe kindpermissionofthe WentworthWoodhouse SettledEstates to make use oftheStraffordCorrespondence; ofthe Council ofDurhamUniversitytoprint the Mickleton and Spearman MSS ; of the Archivist, Leeds Central Library, to print the Temple Newsam MSS , and of the Controller of H.M.S.O. to print the document on pp. 424-5 .

I am also grateful to the Keeper of Manuscripts at the British Museum for his help and informationregarding the YelvertonMSS and the Gatehouse Bills, and to the Keeper of the Public Records , the Public Record Office, for permission to reproduce in facsimile signaturesfrom the State Papers.

Last, but far from least, to those who have done so much of the hardwork inthe preparation of this volume, my debt is great and I give to them also my sincerethanks: DomHughAveling, O.S.B. of Ampleforth Abbey, supplied the transcriptions of the documents concerning Yorkshire and the North and added the valuable introductionand notes ; and also to those who did the typing, Dom Petroc Wall and Brother Leonard Vicars, O.S.B., of DouaiAbbey, and especially to Miss Katharine FitzGerald who did the greater part of the typing, and to Miss N. McNeill O'Farrellwho made the final checkofmy transcriptions .

INTRODUCTION

Throughout this volume it has been mydesire to supplydocuments inaccurate texts, in extenso. Introductory notes, givingthe whereabouts of the documents, means of identification, history and ownership, are given at the beginning of each section. The last information would not apply to the Cecil Papers as they have always belonged to the family. This volume is made up as follows:

I. A Book of RecusantsCecil Papers

II. MiscellaneousLists, etc., fromthe Cecil Papers

III. PetitionsCecil Papers

IV . GatehouseBills

V. Yelverton MSS

VI. State PapersDomestic

VII. Various Records from Yorkshire and theNorth. Where possible reference numbers have been given, and for the Cecil Papersthe volume and folio of the manuscript withits corresponding volume and page number in the Historical Manuscripts Commission Calendars (those for 1607 from the proof pages of Volume XIX). For the petitions no H.M.C. reference is given as many are uncatalogued The fact that there is a reference to the Calendars , does not mean that the document is there printed infull. With theexception of two lists, they have merely been catalogued, and in the case ofthe Bookof RecusantstheCalendarhas thisentry: "1595-6 . Listof Recusantspresentedout of various districts, 1582 to January 1595-6" . It is with this book that the present volume begins.

A BOOK OF RECUSANTS

This book is made up of six sections , each section withavarying number offoliations , all bound together, in its present form, as one volume , with the above spine title, in 1712 by (to quote from the originalaccount in the Family and Estate Papers : General 11/27); "Joseph Pomfret , citizen and stationer of London for bindingand guilding and lettering the Earl of Salisbury's books at Hatfield" . There follows a long list of books in which this volume is included Ofthesixsections, onlyone, thefirst, relatesto recusancyorrecusants. The lists included in this first section are those ecclesiastical reports of recusants, their movements, their worth, etc., sent into the PrivyCouncil by the Archbishop of Canterbury in response to letters issued by the Council asking for this information. It

appears that these two lists, those of 1582 and 1595, were bound together in their present form in 1712 when the rebinding was done. Until then it seems they were two separate sets of lists. At this time also, the words on the title page were written

On examining the catalogues of the Hatfield House Library recently, Ifoundthat amanuscript cataloguemadein 1712 (the time of the rebinding) was particularly interesting It contains the printed and manuscript books in the Library and is written in the identical hand that this title page is in and on examining other manuscript books that were also rebound at this same period, I realized that similar title pages in the same hand had been given, presumably the workof the librarianof the time, or, possibly, ofthe bookbinder. Another observation in regard to the 1582 listsisthat the one for Chichester appears to have been inserted (at this same time) between the list and endorsement page for the Cambridge Area The endorsementsof the 1582 lists are all in the same hand, with theexception of one endorsedby Lord Burghley, perhapsthat of a clerkofthe Privy Council who constantly endorseddocuments throughout this collection

In the original documents, those for Southampton and for "Sundrie Counties" are in Latin, but for the convenienceof readers, thesehave now beentranslated All the others are in English

Inthe 1595 liststhere are no endorsements , exceptfor the letterof the Archbishop of York, which bears evidence that this too was inserted at a laterdate The marks ofthe foldingandsealingofthis letter indicate that it was sent independent of the lists.

OTHER DOCUMENTS

The miscellaneousdocuments takenfrom the Cecil Papers range over a period from 1559 to 1607, and, as far as possible , regardless of the description of each document, have been put in chronological order.

The earliest of these documents is a list of persons, presumably recusants, inSuffolk. This document is endorsedbyLord Burghley and is dated, possibly by him, 1559 (see reproduction) In considering the contents and wording of the document, one can only assume that this date is a mistake, or a slip of the pen, and should probablyread 1595. Anyone who is acquainted with persons resident in Suffolkfor this period will no doubt be able to decide this point

In notes ofendorsements, etc., the first Earl ofSalisbury has been referred to as Sir Robert Cecil throughout to save confusion. It will be noticed also that a Mr. Stewart is mentioned as having made manuscript notes on certain documents, or as having made suggestions about possible dates In 1831 Mr. Charles J. Stewart , who worked at Lackington's, FinsburySquare , London, and laterat Ogle, Duncan and Co., a booksellerwith Howell in Holborn, compiled

BRARY

. see page x

amanuscript catalogueofthe Marquess ofSalisbury'spapers,inthree large volumes. The cataloguefollowed theorder inwhichthemanuscripts had been bound. At this time only 139 volumesexcluding those done at the time of the 1712 bindingwere bound . These catalogueswere compiled for the Historical Manuscript Society, a forerunner of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, and at this time Stewart gave a date or mademanuscript noteson the document itself, and it is to these that referenceis madein this book.

Not all the documents concerning recusancy have been included herefor the year 1607 , for reasons ofspace and for thefact that they have been extensively dealt within Volume XIX of the Historical Manuscripts Commission Calendar which is due for publication shortly.

PETITIONS

Among the Cecil Papers is a collection of about 2,500 petitions. These are unbound and therefore have no volume referencenumber, only the number of the petition and this should be quoted in connexion with it as a considerable number are undated Just over half of thesepetitions are mentioned in the H.M.C. Calendars , some dated before 1607 and others wherea date has been assumed

The content ofall these petitions is variedbut a great numberare frompersons petitioningforwardships, licences , rewardsforservices , etc., and probably do not relate to recusants' propertyormeans,but itis impossible to include themall in this volume Theyare chiefly addressed tothe Lord Treasurer Burghley,orto his son , Sir Robert Cecil, but there are some addressed to QueenElizabethI or to King James I. In some cases there is evidence in a clerk's hand or the recipient's hand of the results of the petition, but most of those printed here are without any indication of the outcome. Those selected are from a variety of personspriestsrecusantsor persons claiming from recusants

YELVERTON MANUSCRIPTS , ETC.

The documents taken, from the Yelverton collection of manuscripts, are the papers of Robert Beale (1541-1601), Clerk ofthe Council under Elizabeth I. His eldest daughter, Margaret, married Sir HenryYelverton, Justice of the CommonPleas, and thesepapers descended to her and remained in the possession of thefamily until 1953 when they were acquired by the British Museum, where they are listed under Additional MSS ., 48000-48196. It is thoughtthat the paperswere bound in volumes by Sir Henry Yelverton's grandson and whilein his possession were catalogued by EdwardBernard (1638-96).

A particularlyinteresting document is the reportfroman Englishman living in Romefrom 1579 to 1580; it was formerlythoughtthat he wasThomas Norton(1532-84), lawyer andreputedrackmasterand

part authorof Gorboduc, but he is now identifiedas Charles Sledd, a pseudo -Catholic, a spy in the service of Sir Francis Walsingham. On his return to England Sledd betrayed many priests and was a witness at the trial of Edmund Campion. The reader must be warned , however, not to accept the diary at its face value; while Sledd was responsiblefor the main contents, some names and facts are included of which he could have had no direct knowledge; it may be that these were added at the suggestionof Norton, or even Walsingham himself The document therefore calls for cautious interpretation.

The Gatehouse (Westminster) Billsarealsointhe British Museum and are listedas AdditionalMSS., 41257. These were purchasedby the Museum in 1925 from Messrs. P. J. and A. E. Dobell, buttheir catalogue throws no light on their history.

The "SecretAdvertisements touching massingpriests"isfromthe State Papers in the Record Office. It is interesting to comparethe monogram at the end with that in the Yelverton MSS; the State Paper bears the signature of Bernard who presumably examined it aswell.

After my right hartie comendations etc. upon the xiiij th of December, I received Lres of the xxvjth of November last, from the Lordes of his mats moste honorable privie Counsell& yourLo, touching an exact & diligent inquisitionto be made in everie dioces within this province of Yorke, of the noumber of all popish Recusantes , oftheir state, degree, & value in livelyhode, howmany of them be residing in their Contrie, or ffugitives& howmany be indicted etc. And according to their Ho: direction, I did forthwith send myne earnestLres, withseverall copies of their LL. said Lres. inclosed, unto the Bishops, & all Ordinaries & Officers in everie pticular jurisdiction & place within this province, requiring & chardging everie of them forthwith to take speciall care & to use all good means , that pticulars & perfect certificates might with

expiditionbe made of all the said recusants . Wch so soone as I coulde receive them (though not so soone as I required) I caused to be put in one booke. And because divers Recusants were not knowne or presented to be indicted I appointed a speciall note or catalogue of them all to be taken out of all the Rolles & recordes in these partes wch I send herwith, together with the said booke , with as much expedition as I coulde praying yor Lo. to deliver them unto their LLs. I thinke that the chefe cause of the great nombre of Recusants is, for that the statutes forlevying of XXli amonth& xijd a tyme, is not put in execution & this is the opinion of divers religious wise gentlemen, with whom I have conferred in this matter. ffor myne owne part, I am afraid, that the ripenes of synn in all estates, is like shortly to concurr with the fullness of time, when God hathe appointed to visit our synnes in Virga I praie God it be not in Virga ferrea Thus beseaching God to bless yor Ho: with his manifold graces, that you may long tread the wise steppes of yor grave father, I bid you verie hartely farewell Ffrom Bishopthorpe the xxjth of februarie 1595 .

Reformacon sought to be made in matters of Recusancy.

1. It were to be wished that the Great and riche recusantswho pay but twelfe score poundes a yeare thoughe their lyvinge be twelfhundred or muche more and are ringleaders to poore men , mightpaytwoparts accordingeto the full vallewe oftheir landesas they are worthe , whichwould increase her Majestiesprofittmuche , and stand with all good policye and equitye, yett they shold have a third part to keepe therein withall.

2. It were to be wished that the Riche sholde not only bethus touched pecuniarily , but also corporally, which also standes with justice and safetye of this kingedome.

3. It is also wished, that meaner men whose abilities are not to pay, might be oyded out of the Realme and not multiply to the danger of the Statein tyme of invasion. [Marginal note] ye LLs Byll

The LLs Bill have appointed for the corporall punishment of the Riche, places of their abode, and have appointed for the meaner sorte abjuracion, againstwhichtheris in other house nocontradiccon , for they have respectively yelded to their lawe sent downe , as knowynge it to be digested with greater consideraccon, thoughe some men mighte doubte whether manytraytors will not be glad of that collor ; but seinge thatit is decreed, and that abjuracon could not conveniently be done but by Parliament, yett it is evident that the Committment of the Cheefe heades of the faccon, might have bene Restrayned by the Commandement of the Prince , as allready theyhave bene without particularlawe fromyearetoyeare by order oftheLLs.

[Marginal note]"Reasons why the other Byll may be spared soye old can beemended in one or 2 points" .

The Reasons thereon whythe other Billwithwhichthe Lower house is possessed, might be forborne, and only an addicon putt to the former lawe of Recusancy, whereby it might be ordered that everymansland shold be themselvesand their posterytie are theise followinge

The laws before made have brought Comodytye to the Queene without danger of Generall discontentment or perill of sendinge hollowe harts abroade, of which the Emynnye will make great Tryumphe and call it perseucon .

AThe Former lawes have stood also withthe honor ofourappollogies, and wrytings, wherin wee avocced that non are dealt with se .. lye for matter of Conscience only, without some cyvill acte of disobedience or overt mallice, as receavingepriests or seminaries By this Actethat proceedinge is chainged as heareappeareth.

[Marginal note] "strainable points in thisByll" .

No man may reseave or harbor his father, his sonne or his brother, thoughe it be mearly for conscience, yf it were for harboringa servant or friend or kinsman it might be well liked, buttotake his childe from hym as sone as he is eight yeares ould is thoughthard

Tobynd men alsoto come to the churchewere reasonable , buttothe Communion is thoughtharde .

The poorermenalso ona montheswarninge toforfeit his coppyholde or chaingehis conscience is veryharde.

It hathe a discordance with other proceedings , for wee ever condemmeon theChurcheofRomethe reducyinge of consciences by terror, & in other declaracions wee ever maynteyned against Papists to be for Cyvill disobedience in some acte and not for keeping their consciences to themselves.

The dangerthereof maybe this [Marginal notes]"Dangersin this Byll" .

The Rigor if the Lawe beinge so hard (as liffe only is excepted) will perhappsprocure dispensacionto thePapists and so make themthe more invisible, and therefore more dangerous, defeat the Queene of

all present Commodities, and yett convert never a soulenor wyn a subject.

It will exasperat the humours abroade and make our Government odious , and make us and our confederates appeare more incompatiblewith all Catholic Princes, nowe freinds or Newtralls, nay it will rathermove therin to be more declared for Spayne, it will depryve usofall likelyhoodof peace, yea perhappsdrawe the troubles which nowenaturally doe flowe to France, more directly uppon our selves and make his Catholick freindes leave hym least he followe our example

What desperat honor (?) of violent practice it willworke in the meaner sorte that are nowe beggered and have so shorte a tymeto alter their conscience were also to be consideredfor the safetye of her Majestie [Endorsed]

May it please you to be advertised I have vewed the State of Worcester diocese, according to the presentmentsdelivered meeby the Chauncellor and Register ; and fynde it, as may sum what appeare by the particulars here enclosed, for the quantitie as dangerous as any place that I knowe In that small counte there are nynescoreRecusants of note (besides retayners, wanderers and secret lurkers) dispersedin fortie several parishes , and sixscoreand ten householders . Whereof above fortie are families of Gentlemen that themselvesor their wyves refrayne the Church , and many of themnotonlyof goodwealth, but of great alliance as theWindsores, Talbutts, Throgmortons, Abingtons and others, and in other respect, yf they may have their forth, able to prevayle much with the simpler sort Besides Warwick and the parts thereabout, are

fraighted with a number of men precisely conceited against her Majesties government Ecclesiasticall, and they trouble as much with their curiositie as the other with their obstinacie How weakeordinarie authoritie is to doe any good on other sort,long experience hath taught mee, excommunication being the onlie bridle that the law yeldeth to a Busshop and other side utterlie despising that course of correction, as men that gladlie, and of their ow accord refuse the communion of the church both in Sacraments and prayers In respect therefore ofthe number and danger of those divers humors both denying obedience to her Majestiesproceedings yf it please her excellent Highnestotrustmee and others in that shire with the Commission ecclesiasticall, as in other placesof lyke importance is used, Iwilldoe myendeavour to serve God and her Majestie in that Diocese to the uttermostofmy power, first by vewing their qualities, retinues, habilities and dispositions next by drawing them to private and often conference lest ignorance make them perversly devout, thirdlyby restrayning them from receaving, succouring or maintayning any wanderers or servitors that feedtheirhumors and lastlie bycertyfyingwhatoffers or defects I finde to be the cause of so many revolting. Her excellent Majestie hath trusted mee fyftene yeres synce to bethe Quorum in the Commission ecclesticall in Hampshire and therfore ageand experiencegrowing, as also my care and chargeencreasing , I hope I shall not neede to produce any farder motives to obtaine her Majesties favor therin, but the profession of my dutie and promise of my best service, withall diligence and discretion, which I have, shall turne to the content of her excellent clemencieand good of her people With which my most humble petition ifit shall please your Honour to aquaint her excellent Majestie, I will render your honour all dewe thanks and make what speede I may towards the place, where I long to be and wishe to labour to the pleasureofAlmightieGod and goodlyking of her Majestieforwhose long and prosperoushealthand raigne I will not fayleto make my daylie and hartieprayers unto God through Christ our Lord,And so withthe humble remembrance of my dutie, I commityour honour for this present to the Grace of AlmightieGod.

82 If presentment had bene made of the whole parish I suppose the difference would not be great

This parish of Prescott withthemembers, is one ofthemost infected parishes in Lancashire, and most haunted by seditiouspriests where oflate yeares the Queens messengers were slayne& wounded

Thepersonsnamed in this presentment are of meane reputacon and of no force or abilitye of themselves and may for the most part easilyeby authority, be reclaymed when their hopes are at an end, and thelawesexecuted

There is in this parish planted a Batchelor of Divinitye, a diligent preacher, but the persuasionof preists and backwood landlords are the chiefcause of the peoples inconstancy and unsettled disposition inreligion

I see no cause of anye danger from such simple Recusants, whom though Popish preists invigle what they can, yet the governors of the Countrie beinge sound and loyall the most populous pte there of zealously disposed in religion ever able to suppresse their insolence , and Cheshire confyning upon them, being generally

exceedingly well affected, there is no fear of any attemptsbysuch weake meanes whost malice is more happily, then their might

Vid : Camdens Acct ofSommervilles Treason . No. 2349a

Reasons to shewe the equity of this suit in respectof MrSomerviles daughters and heires .

That the 2 daughters and heires of John Somervill have bine suitors for a Coppy of their fathers inductment which hath bine denied them, which yf they had obtayned by the opinion of the best lawyerstheymightrecoverthe land It is uponrecordin the Rowles that Mr Arden was then acknowledging a fyne that day that he & MrSomervill were accused to have conspiredtogeither at Edston in Warwickshire.

MrSomervill wasmadd long beforethe utteringofhis rashspeeches for which he was convicted and madd at his Arraigment His speeches bingnoeother then that the Queene was a base borne and the Queene of Scotts was the lawfull Queene of England, and therefore he would ride to London and kill Queen Elizabeth. Mr Arden Mr Somervills fatherin lawe who was condemnedwith him and (upon his only madd evidence ) could not have thepriviledg to challengeanyof the jury, who were most my Lord ofLeicesters men, my Lordhimself prosecuting the cause againstthem, inrespect of the mallice which he bare them bycause he understood that Mr Arden could lay some clayme to the Earledom of Warwick.

Mr Somervill was only brought to the barre, and carried away presently againeand was condempnedby his examinacion, and not in person, bycausehis Lunacy should not appeare tothepeopleand jurers

MrSeabright, Towne clark of London hathsayd that he was made read what against them in their examinacons, and leave out what madefor them.

Mr Somervell was found strangled in prison that morning heshould have bineexecuted, not without suspicionthat it was doneto prevent thediscovery ofhis Lunacy. To approve with one Mr Bellamythen prisoner hath sence reported that he heard 2 prisoners say who lay in the next roome to Mr Somervill, that they heard Mr Somervill that night he was strangled cryout, whatwill yee murthermee, oh do not murtherme

By reason of Mr Somervills Lunacy and minority, he could not (according to his former intent and covenant withhis fatherin lawe) convey this and other lands for the making ofhis daughters porcons, which otherwise he had done

Reasons to induce his Majestiesfavourtowards the petitioner .

It is very well knowne to the world and especially to some of his Majesties honorable privy Counsell, that Sir HenryGoodere whos heire the petitioner is did for hisfaithfull service and devoconto the Queen his Majesties mother, suffer divers years imprisonment, not without danger to his life, and soe great decayof his estate that he wasforcedtoselllandsto the Valew of 1000 marks per annum forthe payment of some of his debts and left the rest of his land charged with 6000 li debt, which this petitioner hath payed and must pay. His Majestie hath bine pleased to take for particular informacion heerof, and hath given it so good credit as many very tymes to promisethat hewould have a princely consideraconofthe petitioner. In pursuit whereof he hath so contynuallyand chargeably attended as that now necessity makes him leave to be ashamed to professe his wants as boldly as he doth most instantly desire his Majesties comiseracionand favour.

The Second Bookecontaynethe discoverye & discorce of the Popes holynes & his adherents, with most of his devices & polyces which were first discovered to me in Rome & elswher, by some of his English braunches, which discoverye, being once delivered, I committed the same to my pene as soon as tyme would suffer me convenentlye, with an indifferent conceince & Judgement, rather omittinge muche, then addinge to yt one word

As a traviler (Right honorable) & desyerous to learne languages& also to see the naturall enclynations and dispositions of strainge & forayne contryes withe their inhabytes firste makinge my harty prayers to all mighty God for to send me a prosperoussuccease & Eand, comittinge my only truste in Jesus Christe which shede hys pressyous blodefor my salvatcone, & not to the abyomible abuses of Poperye.

The 5 of Julye 1579, Sondaye, I made my arrival at Rome & lodged at the house of SalomonAldred an Englisheman, at the same house, also there were lodged divers englishemen, their names folowe. John Sandersone , preste, doctor of devinetye, William Bearblokedoctorof the civill lawe, John Neale, sometyme doctor of exiter Colledge in Oxford, Nicholas Fitcheherberte, & Robert Terrille, gents. the hoste of the howse & others above written saluted me verye cortiouslye & gaveme noles entertaynement then ther salutations were demandingewhat newes at my departure out ofEngland ofMounsure the King of France's brother& the cause of his goinge into England, or whether he meant to take his jorneyinto England (Slanders rayed of the Q. Matie J. N. and N. F.)1

They not expectinge my answere by one assent & consent John Neale & Nicholas Fitcheherberte with the affirmatione of the rest saidthat Mounsuresgoinge intoEngland was to marrye the Q. Matie whom they called, the honest woman the Queen of England, or one ofher daughters at the leaste, and when they had descanted ofthe R. Matie & of Mounsure their fylles requested againe & verye earnestly desyreredme to tell them whether the marriage were not allready knite and celebrated. To whichquestion I answered that yt was the firste that I did here ofyt, but at Venice amongst the

1 This and other italicized headings within brackets were written in the margin.

Englishmen ther were some suche talkes, but for certayne yt was more stranger newes to me than to them & therforeI was not able to replie them oftheir demands This was the only talke& newes inallthe cittie & other contryes theraboutes. (Coninge proffers made to me) The 6 of July 1579. Mondaye, John Sanderson& the rest of the companye made me divers profers to helpe me to the Englishe hospitall, where I myghte have 8 dayes diate free of coste, the same proffers were upon conditione thatI should do as they dide & be a good Catholicke, whichI durste not resiste , not once decyve them, for yf I had then I should have gone to the inquisitione and then expecdacone of my travell nothinge answered , therefore partelly I yelded to theyre requests& proffers & partelly because thenight beforetheyhad used suchliberallspeache of her Matie which I persuaded myselfe shoulde not have bine spoken without a further entente & meaninge, I being brought to the hospitall Morris the Costos of the said hospitallentertayned me verie well, (Question demanded by 2 Welchmen) & immediatedly afterdinner came to me Micholas Owen & Henrye Smithe, 2 Welshemen . They questioned with me of divers matters verye inquisatively, as the others had done the daye before, my answere was not to sekeforI answered as before, by cause they should not finde me in sundry talles their demandes & slye questionsalmost spentthey profered them selves redy at all affayes to pleasureme in whatthey might & requestinge me to make my repayre to the englishe seminarye wher the scollers their would gladly be acquainted with me, and above all others John Pasquall & Lucas Kerbye were named, (I was requested into the semynarie by N.O. & H.S.) which request I must in no wise deny & so they departed frome me & imediatelye afterwards came to me one Robert Barrett who craved acquaintance ofme being somewhataquainted beforein England & in secret talk willed me to take Godto myself & be verye sarcomspect in my speache otherwise I might chance to purchaseimprisonment (Iwassuspectedto be a spy.) by cause I wasthought to be a espye, ye he said further to me that Smith & Owen were sent to me porposlye to syfte& entrape me, he also shewed me that ther were grave matters in hand to be practised against England verye shortlye by the Pope and the King of Spaine as he had heard his Master Tho: Goldwell, Bishope & other Englishmen talke (Consultationes for conspiriciesinEngland.) who had divers meetings & conferences porposely about the same newe devices saying thatyf I did stay long in Rome I should hear of them , but he for his parte wolde declare nothinge & therefore they did feare prive spyes, he instructed me how I should at 8 dayes end go to St. Peters to confessione whichin no wise I should misse suche I should see the penitenserfor the English nacione, he also instructed me so wellthat Iwasable touse myselfe as well as anyoftheCatholicsinRome The 11 of JulySatterday, (I was the secondtime requestedinto the Seminary.) I was requested againe into the colledge by Ralfe

Bicklyeoneof the scollers of the same seminarye, at whichhouseI mademy repayre together with him when I founde redye togiveme entertaynment Lucas Kirbye preste who showed me presently all theschollersofthe seminaryein therseverallchambers, placed3 or4 in achamber verye finely decked & everyeman his bede appointed alone, the commodityes, pleasures , prisiones & mayntenances, to thesamewere notforgotten to be showed, & in whatpossibilyte they were to have ther mayntenance more amplye enlarged by the Pope. (Thepoliseof Pasqualls ) Andlast of all Kirbye brought me into the chamber of John Pasquall gent, accompayned with 3 others, by name George Martine; George Birket & Edward Ristone, prestes. Theis5 persons were mynded as I did perseave to have some talke& speache with me under the pretenceofnewes, therpretencewasonly to seewhatassate and dispositione I was of, but I being warned by theprovidence of God was halfe armed, some of them used me with cortious wordes & gente entreatings & other some to saye, John Pasquall & George Martine demanded of me verye imperiouslye, presicelye & also inquisitively divers questions That is to say what newes of the marriage of the Queen Majestie to Mounsure , or at the laste to one of herdaughters As also of his arrivall in England, which I will touch more amply in certayne questions demanded of Francis Ridestone (A demande what the caus was of mycomingto Rome ) Demandinge especially of me what the cause was of my cominge to Rome I beinge afrayde to be entraped by them made answer as tyme wold then permitte me for my best safetye & secrite, not knowing what aurtorite they had as to questione with me, by cause I was often tymes wished to make my repayre to the said seminarye, after many questions ended the conclusione of their talke tended as they said for my profite (their conclusions with persuvationes) & withmany protestaconesand frendly exotacons wishinge & perswadinge me to be apreste, by which meanes I should be a good memberin the comonwelthe, & do God& the Pope good service in his Churche in England, wher I should be used as yt might so come to passe before one yere shoulde be expired. Thus their talke ended for the tyme present the belle callinge them awayefrom me to evesonge, wherethey were to make their confessione to their gostly father & be disolved of their sins& offences& thenextmorning beinge SundayereceavetheSacrament.

Mortone maye appere, the same daye after he had bene withthe Cardinall, as also shewinge the good entertaynment the Cardinall gave him at that tyme& many other tymes before The first clause concluded was that the excomunicatione should be imprinted anew againe, at Rome which was before in Pius the V tyme imprinted by his commandment at Louvaine ; & should be sent into all places in Crisendome at suche tyme as the Spanyards wold welle arrive & settled in Irland. The second was that their should be a fitte & easye landinge place appoynted in Irland to the west or north west partes of the land wher yt might be an easye route frome Spaineto that place, then out of the east or north east partsof England to that place, the onlye cause was that the Englishmen shouldnot of a suden send ayde out of England to assaut them , when they wold bylde fortrestes for their defence both forthe seae & land, and land theiralso 10 or 12 thousand men with their furniture, or so many as they thought good from thence they might easely (after they had put in sure garde Irland) transporte men ( A declaration of the agreements and conspiracies subscribed ) into England and Scotland at pleasurethe Englishe garrisone in Irland was estemed notto be above 12C . Englishmen, which men dide lye in sundrye places They also appointed their landinge place in England to be Milforhaven, to the which place they might have easye passage oute of Irland & have verye good harbor their for shippinge, wher they estimated that ther might 3 or 4 hundred saylers of shipes lye at rode . The third was a suppositioneof the landnumberinge the able &warlikemen&fyrstein the cittye ofLondon, whichtheyall agreed could not excede 12 or 20 thousand men at the most, & for that number theyshould removeall the handy crafte men& inhabitantes ofthecittye & all the land els could not make60 thousand able men more. The place & armorye for munitions was the Tower of London in which they concluded ther could not be sufficent for 30 thousand men & for powder they were certayne of no greate store to be in England, & dayle sente yt out of the land into Flanders. They also made accounte & estimated what number of the princepallest noble men & gentlemen in the land were their friends & contributaryes alredye& foundethem to be morein number thanthe Queen Majestie had one her side, & last of all made a generall estimate what number of Catholikes of all sortes of men olde & yongethat werewellknowneto them , whichtheyfounde to beabout 50 thousand which saide Nobles & gentlemen & most of the comynaltye were very well furnished with horses & armor for the porpose, at all tymes. At this tyme Morton reportinge all theis matters was not a littell vayne glorious, hopinge he should have a

Bishopricke geven him for the benefice which he had in Kent. The 12 December 1579. Satterdaye in the afternone before evensonge in the lodginge of Mr PresedentAlline, John Sanderson , John Pasquall, Nicholas Fitcheherborte, Lucas Kerbye, John Smithsone, Wm Allet & John Gore, met togeather, where they demanded one of another what newes was steringe.

All this tyme Roger Baynes, being a verye wiseman & a sober gentleman, marked Ortonestalke wellsothat in the endhe demandedto know how theywoldaffayte the Q.Majestie & her Dominions & that she should not be able to resiste & with stand them and their powers. To which demands, Orton requested D. Morton & D. Saundersone to ayd him for that theywere able for to resolvehim in the same questione, better than he was, because they were of the company that did drawe & subscribe the writtings & agrements, so Morton take the same questione one him, (The resolving of Baynes doubte.) to resolve Baynes, in every & thus he begane to proceadin his talke Yt was concluded in the agrements, said he, that ther should be sent into the North West parts ofIrland, 10 or 12, thousand men, which wold shortly after their landinge so annoye the Q : power whichare fewe in number , with the ayde of the contry ther that befor her graces power shalbe come thether, they will so provide, that at their cominge, they shalle have harde landinge in Irland.

Then the Scottes & catholiks in the Northe part of the land shall shew themselves, to whom shall the catholics resortefromall places ofthe land, so that her Majesties power & countrye so weakenedbefore, shall not be able to resiste in all places, & now Mr. Baynes said Morton I trust I have satisfyed you in your demandes .

He said yt was the holye fathers wille & pleasure (who is Christes generall vicar on earthe) to appoynte diversmen present to go into England for to expell heresie The said Harte thoughte mete in one parte of his texte, as he said, & of dutyewas bound to persuade& exorte the said persons present whichwere to be sentonthat message to stand fyrme& stedfastlye, to that which they had promised & were sworne & appoynted to do , wishinge & profering him selfe to be one of the said nomber aforesaid (Harte voweth to dye rather than to yeld to ye Q: Majesties proceedings.) vowinge ratherto dye than to yeld to the hereticall & abhominable proceedinges of the Q: Majestie & her Counsell, whichstedfastnes oftheir faithes wold cause all the people whichwere of that belefe , not to be easelywithdrawne from the trewe faithe & appostalicke see of Rome.

I received from Mr Milner writts for apprehending of outlawed persons; which writts came by the meanes of Thomas Marr; Wee delivered them to the undersherriff of Yorkshire ; One Astell or Aston Cameto the Cittie ofYorkeas a purser vente, and the books being under seale and in the hands of one Alexander Richesonnow attendant on the Sheriffe, Astell and he Concluded together and they quoted that booke at their pleasure . Heaton who had dealt with Recusants before was Conversant with Astell, and John Gargrave who then wrote in the Sheriffs office tolde me that he might have had an aungell on Aston to have written the booke which he did not, but Aleaxander Richardson tooke it and did write it him; Aston apprehended Certaine persons heerunder written and sett them at libertie all except Peter Dickenson and seazed uppon their goods.

Being asked where he was borne, and of whatage hee is,wherehee had bene educated, and how and where he hath bestowedhis time and in what profession from his Childhood untill this day . /Hee answerethand saiththat hee was borne at the Lodge in thep'ishof Preskott in the County of Lancaster, that his fathers name was John Singleton now deceased/that hee is aged 29 yeares or thereabouts, that hewasbrought up in Preskott Schoole till heewasxj or 12 yeares old, and presently after that, hee did serve one Mr Robt Hindley of Hindeley in the Countie of Lancaster Esqr. where hee remained as Butler and attendant for the space of 7 yeares or thereabouts from whence his said Mr appointed him to repaire into Ireland to attend his sonne Hugh Hindeley thither where they staied about sixteene weeks and upon his returne wth the said

4. The Lord Archbp of Canterburyes Letter to the Bp of D. touching Singleton.

Myvery good L./These papers do purpose that this Singleton is a man imployed byPapistesin England to the partes beyondtheSeas , and so backe from thence, in conveying Preestes and Jesuites, as also other younge schollersto be nuzzled in theirPopery. Andthis I should judge to bee his practise wch is bad enough, but I findetwo

thinges that give suspition of some greater matter; the one is, that hee will by no meanes reveale unto whom the surprized letter was to be delivered; and the other is, that hee resolutely affirmeth, that heewill submitt himselfe to any torture, ratherthan make knowne, from whom or to whom hee is imployed The man must be stayed till some further tryallbee thoughtupon I iudge the names ofJohn Laber and Thomas Lyegh to bee counterfeite, and so for ought I know may Blake and Singleton also bee .

Right Reverend, and my verynoble good Lord/ There came yesterdaie one Thomas Davyes, a messinger of his Maties Chamber, with two Ires from Mr Secretary Cooke; thone directed to Mr Deane, and thother to Mr Walton the Maior of Durham./ Mr Deanebeing absent, the messinger would needes open and deliver me Mr Deanes letter; whereofI send yourLopp a copie hereinclosed; and have sent theLetter it selfe to Mr Deane; whoe I presumeis now at Westm' orLondon . The busines maie appeare to your Lopp. by the copie of the said letter. The two lrs. I perceive Mr Richardson procured by the meanes of MrWilly my Lo: Keeper his Secretary./ And because I fear, that Mr Deane tooke not upp wth him either thoriginall or copie of Singletons examinacion, I have therefore sent the copie thereofto Mr Secretary, with a relacion of what I formerly wrote unto your Lopp. in my lres. sent byMr Myles ofShereburnehouse, dated 140. Jan: laste /in whichlres. I allsoesent yourLopp a copie of the said examinacion / whereas I heareing nothing since from yourLopp., I doe greatlyfearethat the deliveryofmysaidlres hath either beene much delayed or that they have miscarried wch I shouldbe sory for

Albeit Mr Richardson was here in towne, when Singleton was examined, and well understoodeall the passages, yet he either tooke his sonne Waltons letter wth him orpretendeth it wassent himupp wth great care , whereby to discover unto the State, that great dainger, whereupon Mr Richardson hath procured exceedinggreat commendacion and thanks to his sonne Walton fromMr Secretary Coke, though hedid nothing in the busines , saveingthat he received a feyned Letter from Sr Talbott Bowes , brought him by Singleton, intimateing that Singleton could discover some things, if he were duely (?) examined./ After the reading whereof, Mr Walton followed him upp to the church, and there brought him to Mr Deane./

Thus not troubleing your Lopp. anie further at this tyme, in regard I did write at large yesterday by young Mr Lambtonof Durham ,I humbly take my leave with my praiers and remembrance ofmy humble service

DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE NORTHERN COMMISSIONS FOR COMPOUNDING WITH RECUSANTS

1627-1642

INTRODUCTION

(Notes on pp. 303-307)

The Caroline RecusancyCommissions were an important part of the whole complicatedevolution of finingof Catholic recusants In order to understand the working of the Commissions it is necessary to know something of the developmentof the fining system as a whole Unfortunately little has been printed on this subject and many details remain obscure . If we find the subject wearisome and confusing, we are at least beginning to appreciateone sideofthe lifeoftherecusantgentry. The minutes of Exchequerpractice, of the land law , of local administrative procedure , of the genealogyof county families all thesedetails were part of the stock of knowledgeessential to a 17th-century landowner and doubly essentialfor the Catholic, who found the hand of officialdom against him at every turn Doubtless there were Catholicswhofound ithard to masterthe technicalities Butmostmust have acquired them easily as they grew up in the country . Sir John Reresby complainedthat theCatholicswho werepromoted to local officeby James II were incompetent because "educatedafter a different fashion" abroad But his thesis was not watertight . The letters of 17th and 18th century Catholic country gentry do not reveal them as a class ignorant of business and administration.2

The first general Elizabethan fine for recusancywas in theformofa parish poor rate, imposed by a Statute of 1559 -I Eliz cap 2. The Statute orderedall to resort to theirusuallocal Anglican place of worship on Sundays and holidays. The Anglican holidays of obligation were not defined until the Kalendar of the 3rd Book of Common Prayer was published (1561 ) and confirmed by Archbishop Parker's Advertisements (1564) There were 27 holidays Thus Englishmenwere required to go to church onsome 70-77 days in the year. Once at church, they were "tabyde orderlye and soberlye" For each day's absence without legitimate excuse the churchwardensofthe parish wereempowered to levy byway ofdistraintfrom the offender 12d .for the poor box . The ecclesiasticalcourts seem soon to have held that thefine was incurred by one who went to church but "walked and talked" during service -time, behaved contemptuouslyor left early. *

The brevity of the Statute's directions and the paucity of other evidence make it hard to determine how, and to what extent, it was really executed It seems that it was always assumed that the Statute gave churchwardens sufficient authorityto collect thefine withoutwaiting for a court conviction for recusancyand a warrant from the court It is truethat the Statute gave to the ecclesiastical courts, Assize Judges and Justices ofOyer andTerminerbut not to Justicesofthe Peacepowerto "enquire and determine" in cases of recusancy. They "enquired" by securingfrom clergy, churchwardensand constables presentmentsof recusants Their main form of "determination" was to press the churchwardensto do theirdutyto the offenders sopresented. Thus the York episcopal courts prodded churchwardens into action and reprimanded those who evaded their duty of collection. In the 1570s the York High Commissioners ordereda number of defaulting recusantsto pay

their arrearsof the fine. In the same period the Council of the Northmade the York City Council extract presentmentsof recusants from the churchwardens of the city and supervisethe collection of the fines. Some courts seem to have had other ways of "determining" cases of recusancy The Statute empoweredthe ecclesiasticalcourts to use spiritual censures against recusants . Thisusually meantreprimands, bonds tosecure churchattendance in futureand, from the High Commissien , imprisonment for the recalcitrant Although Justices ofthe Peace had notyet received statutorypowertoenquire or determine cases of recusancy , the York and Ainsty Justices in Quarter Sessions were receiving presentmentsof recusants after 1570 and imposing bondson them . ?

This evidence implies that churchwardensdid collect the fine fitfully, but needed little inducement to forget their duty Higher authorities prodded them but equally fitfully One can imagine the reasons for this. The fine was a heavy one for the ordinary man (some £3-15 per person a year). The same authorities had their hands full with the many difficulties of extracting general poor rates The churchwardensmust haveresented bearingthe onus of judging the validity of the excuses for absenteeism from church of their betters, landlords and neighboursin an age given to violenceand litigation The only lesser authorities who seem spontaneouslyto have attempted to enforcechurchgoingby fines were corporations under Puritan influence , like Lincoln city council Lincoln imposedits own independentsystem offining and its own system of days ofobligation.8

In 1581 a new and very much larger recusancyfine was imposed, which became operative after a month's absence from church We might have expected that the government would have made use of the occasion to limit the 12d fine to the poorer classes, or to occasional offenders , and to improve the system of collection In fact the only improvement madebythe newAct was to give Justices ofthe Peace powerto hear and determineoffences against I Eliz cap. 2. In 1606 single J.P.s were empowered by Statute to proceed against recusantsby issuing warrants to churchwardensto collect the 12d . fine The restriction of the fine to the poor or occasionaloffenders was certainly proposed and even orderedby a precept of the ExchequerCourt of 1610.10 But the authority of Sir Edward Coke prevailed against this view and his judgment finally prevailed . 11

From 1581 downto the CivilWar there are occasional references to the 12d . fineauthorities urging churchwardens to collect it and evidenceof actual collection Successive governments kept it in mind as a weapon against recusancyandanaddition tothe poorrate. Thus,in the 1590stheArchbishop of York transmitted to HullCityCouncil the Privy Council's order to revive collection ofthe fine to alleviate seasonal distress in the city. 12 In the 1630s a Puritan Bishop of Durham enforcedcollection as part of a programme of destroying Poperyand encouragingGodliness 13 Assize Judges, down tothe 1660s, periodically stressed collection of the fine in their charges to constables 14

Justices of the Peace very occasionally enforced collection 15 In 1625 the Crown issued a Commission to the Lord Treasurerand others to collect the fine for national defence funds . 16 All of this evidenceseems to show that collection of the fine was always a possibility between 1559 and 1665 , but that actual collection was very occasional .

The second general recusant fine, imposed by 23 Eliz cap I. (1581) was clearly meant to bear much more effectively on Catholics, both by its greatly increased size and its improved method of imposition and collection The finewas of£20 permonth of28 days or £260 ayear Imposition wasbymeans of conviction at Assizes, Gaol Delivery sessions or Quarter Sessions after presentment by constables or informations laid Convictions were to be certified to the Exchequerbyestreats ofthe convictions sentup bytheClerks of the Peace . The Exchequer would then authorise sheriffs to collect, since thefines were now due to the Crown, which was to take a third, allota third to thepoor and award the rest to any informer who could prove that he was responsible for the conviction Moreover when a recusant had been absent

from church for a year he was to be certified into the King's Bench as an "obstinate recusant" and bound in a bond of at least another £200 "for the good behaviour" 17

The new system did not work very well. For the ordinary man it meant certain distraintfor debt to the Crown and imprisonment without legal hope ofrelease. Late Elizabethan lists of recusants suppliedto the governmentby bishops classified recusants by their wealth and hinted plainly that many were not worth proceedingagainst under the Act of 1581 , for theirproperty bore no relation to the weight ofthe fine The Exchequerseemssoon tohave fallen into the habit of separating out, when bundles of new estreats were received, the well-to-dofromthe mass ofpoorerpeople andignoring thelatter But the lawyers longstuck to the letter of the law . As late as 1618 the Northern Assize Judges instructed Justices to imprison recusantswho were "women coverte, children and servants that have no goods to satisfie the penaltie of the lawe".18 The Compounding Commissions of 1627 onwards recognise that it would be senseless and inhuman to pursue such a policy. In the 1630s the Judges in Chamberat last concurred, though theyinsisted that recalcitrant poor recusants should at least "be bound to the good behaviour" . There seems to be no evidence that Yorkshire Justices obeyed this, though the Exchequerdid, at that period, attempt to impose such bonds through the sheriffs. 19

Clearly the new fine was meant for the well-to-do But they were not a much better fiscal proposition. They were long practised in legal subterfuges devised to confound their local rivals, creditors and collectors of subsidies and feudal dues. They formed very closely-knit and multiplyinterrelated county societies. The administrative methodsused againstthem by the Crown of setting a thief to catch a thief (locally chosen sheriffs , commissioners to take Exchequer Commissions , escheators, Justices , Councillors of the North, purveyors, Ecclesiastical Commissioners ) and divide et impera(making use oflocal feuds and parties) were testimoniestothestrength of local resistance and often double-edged weapons with an efficacy that declinedwith time Then also the Price Rise had hit many hard, but it had also made the plea of poverty hard to counter The extreme complexity of local property arrangements , the absence of a real registry of deeds , the flourishing of uses and trusts of a semi-official or informal kindall these factors madeit at least as hard for the patient administrator of the period to estimate the real wealth of the gentry as for the moderneconomichistorian. Many of the gentry were obviously deeply in debt But impressivebundles of bonds for borrowed money were then by no means conclusive proof of poverty or bankruptcy. Before the days of banks and when rents came in often in arrears, landlords were constantly borrowing money from every quarter to meetimmediatepressing needs . Also officials were thenby our standardscorrupt to a degree Officials were paid in small fixed fees and customary "rake-offs" Thosewere the daysofpatronagealso Many strange evasions occurred Lambard, aslateas 1612, laments that it had so far been impossibleto ensure that all Justices shouldtake the Oath of Supremacy

From the Crown's point of view it was also clear that a multiplication of exactions from recusantsmeant, no doubt, to ensure that at least some reached their targettended merely to diminish the overall effect. A swarm of officials were the real beneficiaries A determined and conscientiousrecusantwould haveto pay tips and feesto the sheriff'sdeputies, messengers' and clerks ' fees at his many attendancesat the High Commission , the Bishop's court, the Council of the North He had constantly to find money and sureties for bonds , which were not infrequently forfeited . Ifhe were gaoledhis fines continued to accumulate and he had to pay entry fees , cell rent, tips and keep himselfwhile in gaol. He was mulcted for light horse. It was not surprising that the gentry went to all lengths to avoid conviction , and that,ifconvicted, they constantly defaulted on paymentsoffines

Thereforein 1586 another Statute (29 Eliz. cap 6.) attempted to reform

the system . The first clause was aimed at all forms offictitioustrustsand conveyances , revocableat the will ofthe recusantandintendedfor his evasion ofdebtsto the Crown The second Clause confinedconviction ofrecusants to the King's Bench, Assizes and Gaol Delivery sessions The Justices in Quarter Sessions might still receive presentments , but lost their power of convicting recusants The fourth clause dealt with the problem ofmounting debts of recusants to the Crown If the recusantmade default of payment the Queen might now, in lieu ofthe ordinary methods ofdistraintandimprisonment for debt, "take, seazeand enioye all the goods and aswell two partesof all the Landes" of the recusant, leaving him the other third for his own maintenance . The fifth clause was designed to speed up the process of conviction,and probably thereby cut thefees . At the same sessionsat which the recusantwas indicted forhisrecusancy , he must in futurebe "proclaimed" (that is, in placeof an individualsummons served on him , a public summons posted at the place of sessions and on his parish church door, ordering him to yield himself to the sherifffor trial for his recusancyat the next sessions). If he did notput in an appearance in any way the default was to be counted "as sufficient a conviction in Lawe as if on the Indictmenta trial by Verdict had been proceeded on" . 20

These were improvements but not solutions The first clause checked recusant fictitious trusts and uses no more than any other similar Tudor legislation. 21 The second clause seems to have shipwrecked on the passive resistance of constables and churchwardens It was repealed in 1606 and Quarter Sessions again became the normal place of conviction 22 The Assize Judges continued to complain of the rooted objection of constables against presentingrecusants beforethem. 23 The fourthclause probably didnomore than give statutory authority to what was already Exchequer practice. 24 Buttheadoption ofseizure ofdefaulting recusants ' lands and goods on a large scale brought new administrative problemsin its train Exchequerrecusant business was now so swollenthat some sort ofseparate"course" , recordsand officials were being developed there Separate Recusant Rolls appeared from 1592 and we later hear of an Exchequer Receiverof recusantrevenues . But, as yet, the total sum of recusant money received was relativelysmall compared with the volume of paper work required to cope with it. It was possibly for this practical reason, as well as due to the absence of a Thomas Cromwell, that no "Court of Recusants " appeared , analogous to the early Tudor Courts of Wards, Augmentations and First-Fruits and Tenths 25 Also the distancesbetween Westminster and the provinceswere great andthe Exchequer seem to have felt the lack of local officials capableof checkingup on the operations of the county administrators and gentrysheriffs, commissioners , theirjurieswhom it had to use in recusantbusiness . Itwas not unknown for Councillors of the North to be sworn in as Masters of Chancery Perhapsthe "goodsolicitors" whom later 17th century Baronsof the Exchequer credited their predecessors with using alongsidesheriffs in recusant business were part-time local Exchequer officials 26 Nevertheless recusantshad good opportunities for influencing sheriffs, commissioners and juries to make merelyformal valuations oftheirlandsbeforesiesure . In any case this practice was already well establishedfor PostMortem Inquisitions 27 Also in the fixingofleasesofthe seized lands andthe findingofsuitableCrown farmers for them there was abundant room for jobbery The Crown might step in and grant such farms to creditors, Householdofficials or favourites . The recusant might then hope to get a sub-lease to a friend or relative. 28 Alternativelydirect influenceexercised on behalfofthe recusantmight getthe grant made out immediately to a friend 29 Or again , Exchequerofficials and speculators could go in for farming seized lands in bulk, using many unpleasant ways to waste and strip the lands and extort money from the recusants .30 The overall effect of all this was that recusants would flee conviction and that the Crown would receive a dwindling proportion ofthe revenue extracted

The reign of James I saw some statutorychanges madein the system and 294

a good deal of talk about reform. In fact there was no major alteration. The statutorychanges were-

(1) the restoration to Quarter Sessions of the power to convict recusants (2) no distraint for recusancy was to be made on the third left to the recusant after seizure

(3) the chief capital messuage or manor house of the recusant was always to be included in his third (4) in order to enablethe King to exact sums from wealthy recusantsin excess of the fines, he might now refuse to take the fine and insist on seizing the two-thirds, even though there had been no default of payment

(5) constables might levy a reward of 40/- by distrainton thepropertyof each recusantfor whose first conviction theyweresolelyresponsible . (6) extra and considerablefinesfor the keepingofrecusantservants.

(7) Therehad hitherto been a difficulty about recusantwives of Protestant husbands , because, at law, the wife's property was her husbands . The practice had been forthe wives to be imprisoned as persons unable to pay theirrecusancyfines It was now enacted that the husbandcould free his wife fromgaol by paying fines or seizures for her recusancyat half the full rates. At his death the wife was to lose by seizure twothirds of her jointure and dower and to forfeit her customary rights to a share of her husband'schattels.

(8) in no case were seized lands of recusants to be leased to convicted recusants . 31

Of thesechanges (4) was the most interesting. It does not, however, seem to haveopened theway to wealth to the Crown, since it very rarely indeedgot from wealthy Catholicsby seizure rents exceeding the amount ofthefine

The State Papers of James' reign contain numbers ofschemes for reform of the system of fining As Cranfield noted, what was needed was "more contentment" for the recusant and "more security of him" for the Crown 32 One suggested solution was the cuttingout of officialdom and middlemenby granting seized recusantlands in bulkin farm to syndicatesoffinanciers , on the analogyofthe tax farms 33 Another, and morefavoured, solutionwasthe formationof some sort of Commissionannexedto the Exchequer It should take over the appointment of commissioners of Inquisition into lands before seizure, the making of leases, choice of farmers, collection of rents. Possibly alsoit should offer to "compound" with the recusantsfor theirarrearsthat is make some special arrangementwith them so as to ease their burden and yet secure to the Crown a maximum payment

There is some evidencethat suchcompositionswere notunknown in Exchequerpractice 34 Experimental Commissions ofthiskindwere issued several timesin 1614, 1619 and 1625but seem to have been ineffective 35

Charles I's reign saw much more strenuous efforts to reform the system . Little was done by Statute, beyond the introduction of double taxation for recusantsbytheSubsidyActof 1625. Recusants soon found waysand means of evading this 36 The new administrative measures came partly from prerogative acts of the Crown, through Commissions and Instructions to Commissioners by letters patent, and partly from judicial interpretations of existing Statutesby the Judges in Chamberor bythe Barons oftheExchequer in their Court Orders37

Thenewsystem was launchedbythe Commissions of1626-7.38 Two bodies ofCommissioners were set up One, under the Lord Treasurer , was seated in theExchequeratWestminster and had a general jurisdiction overallEngland, although its normal field was recusants whose estates lay south of the Trent The second Commission , under Emanuel Scrope, Earl of Sunderland, was seated at the King's Manor outside the walls of York and its jurisdiction covered the estates of recusants lying north of Trent The Northern Commissionerswere an imposing bodySunderland, the Archbishop ofYork, the bishopsofthe Northern Province, Sir John Savile, Comptroller oftheHousehold, three Judges , twenty-two knights, the Lord Mayors ofYork , Hulland

Newcastleandnine others Most of these were only advisory members The quorum was of fourteen members , dominated by Savile . His predominance reflected the politicalsituation. He was a supporter of the ruling favourite, Buckingham and thereby became the working head of the Commission at York and Receiver-General of northern recusant revenue The northern Commission was closelygeared in with the Council ofthe Northandits active members were also the effective core of the Council Hence the Commission acquired at once a ready-made nead-quarters (the Council's offices in the King's Manor, York, once the Abbot's house of St. Mary's monastery) and the use ofthe Council's staffand prestige The onlydisadvantagewas that the Commission'sjurisdictionstretched further than that of the Council, which ended at the Humber

The express purposeof the Commissionwas to supply warshipsto convey colliers between Newcastleand London The money was to come bothfrom northern recusantrevenues and from a voluntarylevy given by the Newcastle hostmen. The Commission was to concentrate on unearthing concealed sources of recusant revenuehidden arrears of dead recusants , concealed increments to recusants' incomes since their last Inquisition and leases (Here the Commissionrevealsthat it had hithertobeen possible for a recusant to have excludedfrom the valuation ofhis estate for seizure lands "extended" for his debtsthat is set aside as security for the repayment of the debts.) Lastlythere werethe landsand goods of the poorersort ofrecusants, hitherto ignored by the Exchequer

"It is just and equall that, being convicted, they should not escape withoutpaying somethinganswerable to theirEstatesor Abilities, and yet should not be pressed to pay more then according to theirAbilitiesto the utterundoeingofthemselves and theirFamilieswhose Conversionwedesire and not their Destruction . . . "

With these aimsin view , the Commissioners are empowered-

(1) to receive from Exchequer and Quarter Sessions full schedules of all northern recusantsconvicted and sums charged to them .

(2) to choose themselves the Commissioners to carry out Inquisitions into thevalue of seized lands, the Exchequerautomatically commissioning the men oftheirchoice

(3) to call before them all convicted northern recusantson whose lands inquisitions have been made and to grant leases of the seized parts -if necessary to the recusants themselves "if they offer as reasonablea yearlyRent ... as anie other shall offer" . The Commissioners are to assess the rent at a reasonable figure and fix the term of leases uptoa maximum of41 years The leasesare to include certain conditions and guarantees of immunities to the recusantsand these are specifiedin royal Instructions annexedto the Commission

(4) to compound with recusants for their arrears of fines at reasonable rates The dead-line for arrears is fixed at 1610

(5) tocompoundforrentsandarrearswithbetter-offfarmersandtradesmen who are recusants , the terms to be reasonable

(6) the Receiver-General may collect all rents and arrears arising from deeds made by the Commission , and he is empowered to spend the proceeds directlyon convoy ships

Thusthe Commission enjoyed a part-independence ofthe Exchequer, which , however, remained its court of account and record The Commission was frankly experimental Its purpose was to clean up and simplify recusant fining and thereby increase therevenueaccruingto the Crownfrom recusants and, perhaps , breed such a sense of security and good-will that lurking Catholicswould be content to emerge from a perilousobscurity to be convicted and secure composition. In compoundingthe recusantstruck a bargainwith the Crown. A higher rent was exacted for the seized lands In returnthe recusant was offered advantagesthe lease of the seized lands for himself, easy composition for arrears and the assurance of freedom from molestation by other officials and courts A weakness of this 1627 Commission was that

existing leases of seized lands were not voided Thus the Commissioners couldonlyhope todo business with newly convictedrecusants or old recusants wheretheir leases had lapsed or the farmers were willingto surrenderthem Another weakness layin the novelty ofthe scheme It had notyet hadtime to proveitsclaimstosecure immunities for compounders Stuart administrative policy was notoriously changeable and at the mercy of importunate courtiers, creditors and officials. It was true that the new Commissions had much moreimpressivemembershipsthan previous ones and that Sunderland , nominal head of the northern Commission , was an easy-goingand corrupt old man with a well-known bias towards Catholicism . 39

The Commissionwas renewed in July 1628.40 There were signs offriction with Exchequer officials 41 But the future of Savile and his Commission . depended on Buckingham, whowas assassinated chatsummer In thepolitical revolution that followed, Savile was "kicked upstairs" to a peerage and retirement, while Sunderland was dismissed his posts The rule of Savile's rival, Wentworth , began Hence the 3rd Northern Commission for Compounding, of June 1629 , was a part of Wentworth's new order in the north . 42 It consisted of 48 members , of whom only 4 were needed as a quorum . Wentworth frustrated a move by Savile still a Commissionerto take active part in the work again Henceforth the handful of active Commissioners were Wentworth's nomineeswith one possible exception . 43 These men were again alsothe active Councillorsof the North 44The New Commission differed from thatof 1627 in-

(1) the omission of all reference to the Navythough, in later Commissions the King pledged himself to use recusant revenues only for public needs

(2) the addition to the clause about leasing to recusants ofthewords"ifyou cannotfindeanieothernot being arecusantwhoe would bewilling to take the same" This Commission and later Instructions allow for leases either to Protestants or recusants or to others for the use of recusants

(3) the northern Receiver-Generalnow Wentworth becomes a commissioned Exchequerofficial.

(4) all leases and compositions made by former Commissions including that of 1627-8were voided. The Commissionwas renewed in July 1630.45 In July 1633 Wentworth departed from York for Dublin, although he remained head of the northern administration . The immediateleadershipofCouncil and Commissionpassed to his deputy, Sir Edward Osborne . But Osborne still reported regularly to Wentworth, who made all major decisions and receivedall petitions Moreover Wentworth kept his office of Receiver-General , performed, as before, through deputieswho were usually his own servants . 46

On January 27th 1636 another Commission was issued , with a quorum of Wentworth and Osborne alone The clauses defining relations with the Exchequer became more detailed At the next renewal, in July 1638 , Osborne became the quorum. The instructions now included an important new clause-

(TheCommissioners were in future to) reserve for our Parts ofthe Recusants Lands ... a full and true thirde Part thereof ... withoutrespect tofraudulent Conveyances ... our purposebeing to leave the other thirde part by Law belonging unto Us, as a reward for the Benefit of our Lessees , who shall farm the same ... The Instructions complain of the grave shortage of Protestant takers for farms of seized lands and reiterate that the Commissioners must only let to recusantsif necessity compels The import of this is not very clear. Infact the northern Commissionseems almost invariablyto have leased to recusant owners.

Numbers of references in the State Papers show that the 1638 Commission remainedin action until it was dissolved by the outbreak of the 1stCivilWar in 1642.47

The Commission had to struggleagainstenemies anddetractors. Prominent amongst these were some Exchequer officials, who certainly resented the passing of business and fees out oftheirhands . Wentworth had to complain, in 1633, of Exchequerwarrants issued orderingallrecusantsto be putin bonds for "the good behaviour" . He complained bitterly about the extreme slowness of the Exchequer in "passing" leases fixed by the Commissioners . These leases were the recusants ' protection against exactionsby officials and Wentworth grumbled that months and years passed between thefixing ofa compositionatYorkandthe passing ofthe leaseatWestminster Heobjected to the exorbitant fees demandedat the Exchequer for leasesfees which far exceeded the small rents charged on poorer recusants . He had occasion to castigate the same officials for sometimes commissioningsheriffs and others to enquire into and distrain on recusants' landswhen they had compounded , and without prior reference to the Commissioners . 48 Again, Wentworth disliked the Exchequer's use of assignmentof revenues directlyto meet the demands ofparticular Crown creditorsor urgent departmental needs . Hehad personal reasons here. Like so many other Stuart officials, he had bought a life-grant of his Receivership He received little in the way of salary and allowances and it was agreed that he might have the "use of the public money which remained in his hands for long periods The assignmentof largeparts ofthemoneys receivedby him to Crown creditorsdeprived him of its 'use' " He was also disappointed in his hopes of recouping himself by extracting from the Exchequer substantial allowances for expenses Then there was the problem of transporting cash from York to London Bills on London for such large sums cannot have been obtainable at York Wentworth complainedthat he had to meet the insurancecosts of carriage of the money out of his own pocket Late in the Commission's career he obtained the services of Exchequer messengers . 49

These frequent brushes with the Exchequerundoubtedly must havebeen in partcaused bythe officials' distrust ofthe Commissionprobably accentuated by suggestions that they had somethingto learn from the Commissionabout administrative methods . 50 But they were no doubt also in part due to the inordinate slowness of the Exchequer.

The sheriffs and their deputies were also troublesome to the Commission Theywereseriouslyout ofpocket as itsworkexpanded. As the sole collectors ofrecusantrevenues they had harvesteda regular5% commission , apartfrom less recognised exactions . 51 Now they were largely superseded by Wentworth's deputy-receivers and could only pick up trifles like uncompounded arrears of recusantfines, the money for forfeited bonds of recusants or fines. Between1625 and 1641 thesheriffs ofthe countiessouthofthe Trentpaid into theExchequeronly £4,083 ofrecusantrevenue , which was less than theannual sum collected by the southern Receiver -General in the 1630s . 52 It was not surprising that sheriffs and deputies seized every excuse for distrainingon recusants' estates . 53 Wentworth was therefore concerned that the Crown should prick only sheriffs who would cooperatewith the Commission He wanted neither men who were Puritans or hostile to "the Provinciall Power" (his northern administration) nor men with recusantrelations In November 1632 he wrote to the Earl of Carlisle to thankhim for using his influence at Court to prevent the pricking of Mr Sherburne , whose wife was a recusant. Now the danger was that the Lancashire recusants were pushing as their candidate Mr Walmesley, who also had recusantrelations 54

Justices of the Peace were also in a position to hinder the Commission's "course" by being slow to make new convictions and to certify them to the Exchequerand Commissioners At each renewalof the Commissioncirculars weresent to the Justicesof the countieswithin its jurisdiction urging speedy convictionsandrequiring prompt certification of them . 55 Wentworth hadreason to expectlack of cooperation from the Justices, dueto a varietyof reasonsJusticeswith Catholic relations, Justiceshostile to his administration , ormert rustic conservatism and refusal to short-cut established procedures . Buthere is no evidence that he had much to complain of The surviving Yorke

shire Sessions books for the period show no positive signs of slowness to convict . 56 It is true that the North Riding bench contained a remarkable number of men who opposed Wentworth's administration bitterlySirDavid Foulis, Sir Thomas Gower , Henry Bellasis , Sir ThomasLayton But none of them with the possible exception of Bellasishad any bias towards Catnolicism. The North Riding lists of indictments and convictions of recusants are much longerfor 1629-42 than they had been for the years before 1629. One North Riding Justice, Sir Posthumous Hoby, was eager to help Wentworth to secure the conviction of even suchexalted and slippery persons as the Earl of Rutland . 57 It seems likely that such slowness as Wentworth encountered in tne Justices was mainlydue to their cautious desire to have legal chapter and verse for every act and theirinability to go faster thanthe rustic constables on whose work they depended . 58 Finally, Wentworthwas well aware that the Justices alone could never snare into conviction certain wealthy individuals who constantly movedround their estates, owned estates in severalcounties or enjoyed influence in high quarters Against these he relied on his army ofinformers

Assize Judges could occasionally give trouble to the Commission . In October 1633 Wentworth complained that Mr Justice Vernon, in his Assize chargeat York, had ordered local authorities to enforce all statutes against recusants , including the 12d fine This was a direct threatto the immunities granted to recusants who had compounded Wentworth suspected that, behind Vernon, stood toe Lord Keeper and the legal profession , inveterate enemies ofthe prerogative courts-

60 .. these MooteMaisters .. (who) ..ifthey will be lett alone .. willleavenoe latitude at all for nis Matie to governe And manifest his Greatnesse and Power, by forth of the narrow prescripts of their Yeare Bookes , which undoubtedly would make a goodly Common Wealth for a Monarck ... 59 Informers troubled the Commission Wentworth, in the period 1629-33 , had madeuse of a considerablenumber of informers, ofwhom the chiefwere Lionel Farington and Richard Heath. They were use for "takeing inquisitions, Convicting ye Recusants& preparing all things forthe Compositions" The usual method they employed for convicting was to bring a private information of recusancyin the Quarter Sessions or, more often , at the Old Bailey in London . 61 After 1633 both Heath and Farington became troublesome Heath persisted in prosecuting compounders (after composition at York) for arrears of recusantfines. Wentworth failed to get him to honour an undertaking to stop this. A Star Chambersuit against Heath alsofailed . In 1635 Osborne was still trying to get the ExchequerCourt to curb Heath's activities ,62 Farington's complaint seems to have been that theCommission gave him insufficient credit and pay. He seems to have given evidence against the Commission to M.P.sin the Long Parliament . 63 Bishops and their ecclesiastical courts sometimes afflicted Wentworth He complained of the Archbishop of York and the York High Commission . He beganthe "course" of the 1629 Commission with a private arrangement that the High CommissionshouldsummonCatholicswho were unconvictedor who had not yet compoundedand offer them freedom from ecclesiastical censures ifthey would compound But, by 1633, the Archbishop wasceasing to observe thiscontract The BishopofDurham was evenmoretroublesome He persisted in ignoring the immunities of compounders from ecclesiastical censures for recusancyand unleashinga storm of persecutionin his diocese . Wentworth commentedhotly-

A generation of folks there are in ye world yt have such a Stinge in their Tayle, an itch in theirEare, a pride in theirhart, as will not givethem rest in any Condition ; our Saviour would not be held Holye enough for their Companywere he on Earthagain .. .64

Then there was the problem of the SouthernCommissionfor Compounding . Although Portland and Cottington, the heads of this, generally observed the rule that recusantswhose estates laymainlynorthof Trent must compoundat York, there were exceptions . Wentworth complainedof numbersofwealthy

northerners who compoundedat easy rates at Westminster.65 Nor did he like the fact that the Southern Commission , as the senior body, occasionally issued general orders binding on recusants in thenorth . 66

Lastly there was the thornyproblemof inconsistencyin the administrative policyof King and Privy Council, pulled hither and thitherbywarring vested interestsroyal dispensations , graces, grants and patents cutting across the "course" of the Northern Commission and made without reference to it Especially after 1634 the King issued a fairly considerablenumber of "letters of specialgrace and protection" dispensingindividual Catholics more or less from the Commission'sjurisdiction Some (like John Gascoigne of Barnbow and Philip Anne of Burghwallis co Yorks) were allowed to compound at Westminster Others (Viscount Dunbar) had their composition rents reduced . Others were practically allowed to fix their own rents (Dr John Moore, William Stanford ) Others were totally exempted from conviction and fining (Sir John Thimbleby of Irnham co Lincs , Sir Cecil Trafford, Sir William Pearsall, Sir Charles Smith of Wooton Wawen, Henry, Earl of Worcester, ClementPaston) 67 Wentworth fought some of these casesas far ashe dared, but thereis evidenceofonly one victorygained byhim thecase ofThomas , Viscount Fairfax ofEmley . 68 The Commissioners had also tofear grants of recusant fine arrears to courtiers In 1633 Wentworthwas up in armsabout sucha grant made to Sir Arthur Mainwaring and Andrew Pitcairn and secured a limitationofits termsto recusantmonies fraudulently appropriated byofficials in the past 69 Thenthere was the caseofthe agreement made betweenthe Exchequerand SirArthur Ingram the elder. Ingram wasa City business man who had long dabbled in speculationsand farmed customsand the alum works In 1612 he invested in a life grant of the secretaryship of the Council of the North and retired to live in Yorkshire Wentworth began by usinghim on the Commissionand Council, but the two men fellout over a curious speculativeagreementmadeby Portland and Cottington with Ingram behind Wentworth's back Ingram was owed money by theCrown. Hewas to take over a part of the Commission's business, paying the Crowna substantial rent andhoping torecouphis outlay, the moneyowed tohim and a furtherprofit byvigorousadministration Wentworth remainedunconvinced by Cottington's arguments that the bulk of the Commission's "course" would be unaffected and that Ingram was bound to lose money on thedeal Hefelt that thewhole transaction was a slight to himself . 70 It seemsthat these troublesofthe Commissionmountedsteadily after 1634 . According to Wentworth , the compounders reacted to the declining credit of the administration by increasingly defaulting on their rents . 71 Osborne could not dominate his fellow Commissioners as Wentworth had done They began to have increasing fears about the legality of some practices used hitherto particularlythe habit of informal compositions with unconvicted recusantswho had been persuaded to come in to the Commission oftheirown accord . 72 When the Long Parliament met in 1640 it began to assemble evidence against Wentworth's whole administration Criticisms of the Commission were welcomed andrife 73 The officials ofthe SouthernCommission sought to save themselves by blaming others In November 1641 the Exchequer, probably moved by the King in one of his conciliatory moods , issued warrants wholesale to sheriffs to make seizures of the lands of compounders. It seemed inevitable that the Commissions would end and be replacedbythe oldersystem. 74 However, the Parliament did notgetround to this and the northern Receiverwas still collecting rents from compounders on the eve of the war (to May 1642).75

Thus ended an important epoch of recusantfining. But the work of the Commissions lived on after them Thepolicyofthe Parliament was to return to the direct Exchequer-sheriff method, usingseizure universally andemploying only Protestant farmers Yet this Sequestration policy of the 1640s rapidlymoved over, bythe 1650s into copying Commission methods Commissions reappeared under other names (Haberdashers Hall, County Committees) and seized lands were commonly rented to the recusantowners .

The onlyinnovations were the shortness ofthe leases, theruthlessscalingup of rents, the accuracy of the frequent surveys and the measures taken to tax increments in recusants ' incomes from improvement of their estates 76 At the Restoration the pendulum of reaction swung back again to direct Exchequer-sheriff methods In 1675 however county Commissioners were appcinted with attendant Receivers By June 1676 the Barons of the Exchequer noted that, although the Justices were hard at workconvicting recusantsand sendingescheats into the Exchequer, and the Exchequerworking on them , the county Commissioners were inactive A discussion ensued on the history offiningand the relative merits of the direct and Commission courses The Baronsfinally decided torevert to sheriffs By 1680 theywere regretting their decision . 77

After the Revolution of 1688 there were further Exchequer debates , but nothing was decidedand fining ceased In 1715 therewas a proposalto begin again, using the existing Land Tax Commissioners Convicted Papistswere to beobligedto registerfull valuations oftheirestates at the Quarter Sessions. The Land Tax Commissionerswho were already levying double from recusantswere also to collect annually from each recusanttwo-thirds of his income . The registration was actually made effective, but the fining never worked This was the end offining. 78

The Northern Commissionheld its sessions in a room in the King's Manor , York The number of active Commissioners neverseems to have exceeded a handfulfive or six. Their qualifications seem to have been that they were experienced , administrators men loyal to Wentworth and his system , and men with local knowledge of recusants ' estates Thus Sir William Ellis knew Lincolnshire , Sir John Melton and Lowtherthe remoter north-eastand west respectively, Sir William Dalton the North and East Ridings, Sir John Hotham the East Riding, Ingram, Osborne and Christopher Wandesfordthe West Riding and Sir ThomasTildesley Lancashire Their residence in these areas meant inevitably relationship to, and acquaintance with, recusants Wentworth himself had a Catholic uncle, Sir Francis Trappes Byrnand, Catholic cousinsTrappes , Viscount Fairfax, MichaelWentworth of Woolley, Sir Thomas Vavasourof Hazlewood His close friend, Sir PeterMiddleton of Stockeld, had a recusantwife, as had another friend, Sir MarmadukeWyvell Wentworth's letters show how far he was willing to gowithin limitsto pull strings to easetheirburdens as recusants Also, on occasion, hefavoured recusants like Edmund Eltofts, who had the Earl of Newcastleas his patron, and "Mr Medcalfe" whose cause was espoused by the Buckingham family. Sir Edward Osborne was married to a lady with close recusant relationsa Walmesley of Dunkenhalgh and widow of a Middleton of Stockeld. He admitted to having intervened to protect his wife's Catholic relations from an informer . 79 SirWilliamDalton seemsto havesatamongstthe Commissioners who assessed the composition of his recusant nephew, Thomas Dalton of Swine, Holderness . 80 The Radcliffes of Dilston could apply to Charles Radcliffe, Wentworth's relation and servant of the Commission Sir John Hotham couldplead the case of East Riding recusants whowerehis friends . 81 But Wentworth and the Commissioners could justly say that theirrecord for integrity compared very favourably with that of previous administrators The sittings of the Commissionhad to be fitted in with those of the Council of the Northand of various other bodies on which Commissioners sat. Thus the Commissionfor Knighthood operated from the Manor and some Commissionerslike Hothamwere also Justices The Council did not keep CommonLaw terms but sat irregularly . Thus Commissionsessionstherefore had to be managedunder difficulties .82 Since the 1629 Commissionvoided all previous Commissioners ' leases, it began with a rush of business concentrated into comparatively short and heavy bouts of work According to the Book of Compositions in 1629 233 recusants were disposed of in 21 days sittings between September9th and October 19th. Anotner 28 cases were dealt within 10 sittings in mid-December In 1630 311 cases came in sittings packed densely between mid-August and Christmas Extraordinarilylittle

wasdone in 1631-29sittings in 3 sittings in September 1632 saw a revival- 242 cases between early August and late November. In the four years coveredby the Book just over 900 recusants (or relatives of recusants, living or dead) compoundedfor an annual rental of about £10,000 In June 1633 Wentworth wrote-

found that Revenewbut 2000 li byyeare; I nowe have it 9500 li by yeare

.... 83

He estimated that, when he lert for Ireland in 1633, there was still "a very greate part which for want of tyme I was forced to leave behind me uncompounded" . Laterhe said this was some £3000 a year in rentsthat is to say he thought the northern recusantsworth about £12,500 a year to the Crown We do not know as yet whether Osborne achievedthis by the early 1640s. In November 1642 Lawrence Squibb, a teller at the Exchequer, calculated that the northern recusant revenues had been raised to between £10,000 and £12,000 and the southernto between£4000 and£5000.84 Predictions must have been difficult because, as Wentworth wrote, there was consant-

Losse upon Conformityes, or change of Tenances by death or otherwyse .... There were defaultersand Wentworth lamented that, asthe years passed and the credit of the Commissiondeclined under attack, compounders became increasingly careless about payment on time . 85 On the other hand there were increments to rents, since the leases always provided carefully for extra payments (at an increased rate) as charges on recusants' estates were extinguishedby the deathof beneficiaries.

Knowledge of Yorkshire recusancy from other sources shows that the Commissioners dealt quite efficiently with the available field ofCatholicswith property worth siezing in that county They missed, of the wealthy, only Lord Eure (who was a bankrupt), the Earlof Rutland and Viscount Fauconberg.86

At the sessions the waiting rooms would contain recusants who had been officially summoned , after conviction and Inquisition In Wentworth's earlier daysas Commissionerother recusants , who were neither convicted nor had undergone an Inquisition , appeared , to make a sort of extra-legal composition Generally the Commissiontried to allot sittings by counties. But many recusants came froma distanceand allowances had to be madefor them The Commission therefore in fact often dealt with men from several different countiesin one sitting. It was very commonfor the poorerrecusants from a distanceto be represented by a wealthier or moreactive neighbouror even by a non-Catholic attorney Thus John Sompnerrepresentedsome 60 absentee Lancashirerecusantsat many sittings in 1629 and 1630. Women were invariablyrepresented by malefriends Therepresentativeshadto have full powers of attorney to bind their subjects and the Commissionreacted badly to the recusantwho merely sent excuses . 87 Neverthelessa surprisingly large number of recusants from a distance put in a personal appearance . This was natural , since they all had cases to plead, papers and deeds to produce to prove "reprises" (genuine charges on their estates which the Commissioners would subtract from the valuation) They were allowed to plead their cases and produce letters of commendation If they refusedthe terms offered they could petition But unless they had special influence their petitions were referred to Wentworthfor judgment He bad laid on , at his own charges, a special private post from the port of Chesterto York to speed business after he had gone to Ireland . 88 After the sessions the President or Vice-President would invite recusants of rank to dine at the Manor . As Wentworth wroteI couldnotwith any decency , taking moneyfrom them with one hande, turne them into the towne to seeke their dinnerswith the other ... 89 As they dealt with eachcase , the Commissioners would have before them usually the schedules of convicted recusantsforwarded by the Clerks ofthe Peace in the several counties under their jurisdiction , reports from the Exchequerof the previous finding record of recusants with arrears noted ,

copies of Inquisitions into recusants' estates. The obtaining of up-to-date records from these sources was often a difficult matter . 90 According to Wentworththe Commissioners were legally bound to make the composition rent exactly two-thirds ofthe Inquisitionvaluation . 91 By this hemeantthat they might not fix a lowerrent than this, unless they werecovered bya higher authority. He required express permission from the King for this. " This did not prevent the rent exceeding the Inquisition valuation. Thus the Inquisition valuation of the seized two-thirds of the estates of Philip Constableof Everingham, E. Riding was £117-11-4 a year, while his composition rent was £250 a year (in both figures reprises already deducted) "We may justly suspect that the very round figures of the rents of the gentry indicate a general policy of exceeding Inquisition valuations in cases of the wealthier recusants (As Wentworth once explained, however, the round figures may, in some cases, be due to the fact that no Inquisitionhad been made or that Wentworth would not be bothered to put off fixing a lease because an Inquisition had not yet arrived.)93 In any casethe Commissioners had before them private reports of informers about the real incomesof recusants They must have had good reason to doubt the accuracy of Inquisition valuations . 94

Once the rent was fixed and, if necessary, the compositionfor arrearsmade the recusant(or his representative) signed the recordin the Book ofCompositions He received a Supersedeasa warrant from the Commissioners informingthesheriff of the composition and ordering him not to molest the lands of the recusant for his recusancy The recusant or his representative then enteredinto a bond to pay the first instalment of his rent (and, perhaps also, of his compositionfor arrearages) at the fixed place and time Now he hadto obtain his lease underthe Great Seal fromthe Exchequer As we have seen , this meant a long delaysometimes of yearsand the payment of substantial fees by the recusant. The Commissions usually laid penaltieson recusantswho nad not obtained their leases within a certain period, but all this must have to have been waived. Also the Exchequer was supposed to join numbers of poorer recusants into joint-leases, to spare them expense in fees

The compounderwas supposed to pay each instalment of rent (alwaystwo yearlyinstalments, at St Martin in the Winter and Whitsunday) within 40 days of the dayfixed on penalty of automatic cancellationof his lease . But the day of modern bureaucracy was far-off Wentworth started like a new broom, with vigour and methodand even printed forms forrent receiptsand conds Not for him the humiliations of Savile , who had been forced to issue birculars to the compounder gentry, before days of rent payment, begging them to be prompt Wentworth relied chiefly on building up a sense of confidence in the Commission amongst recusantsa sense that it could protect them againstofficialdom andthe vagaries of royal policy. Presumably he expected that the "poorer sort" would easily default Hence he blamed defaulting by the wealthier Catholicson to the attackers of theCommission and the uncertainty they bred. Defaulters were written to, sent "King's letters" and , later, Wentworth asked for two Exchequer messengers to be lent him for the workof collection . 95

THE NORTHERNBOOKOF COMPOSITIONS 1629-32

.

NOTE . The various Northern Commissions all provided for the keeping of fullrecordsand the transfer of them, at the lapseofeach Commission, to its successor . Copies wereto be sent regularly tothe court of record, the Exchequer. The Exchequer certainly had a "Book of Convicted Recusants" , with details of leases, which was lodged at HaberdashersHall in 1652. The records of the Northern Commissions could be laboriously pieced together from existing materials in the Public Record Office.¹ But the original books kept at the King's Manor, York vanished from sight in 1642, together with the record books of the Council of the North. In March 1708 , sixty years later, three volumes of the York Commissions ' records

were in the possession of Thomas Craven, a burgess of Ripon Two of these were original volumes of Entry BooksAct books, in which the terms of compositions were entered and signed by the recusants The third was a contemporary fair copy of the other two, probablyindexed for office use Ralph Thoresby, the Leeds antiquarian , borrowed the volumes and at once wrote to his Catholic friend, Charles Towneley of York, to announce the find.2 John Knaresbrough, Towneley's chaplain, and also an acquaintance of Thoresby, was engaged in collecting materials forhis "Sufferings of Catholicks. " Thoresby acquired the volumes from Craven and Knaresbrough sawthem and had them transcribed for his own use.³ The scribe worked to directions from Knaresbrough which ordered many abbreviations, especially in the 1630 parts Some sections were fullycopied because they concernedeither families with whom Knaresbrough was connectedthe Towneleys and Tankardsor were needed as material to be used in the "Sufferings" to refute Rushworth's charges that the Commissioners were undulylenient.4

At some subsequent date the MS transcript, together with the MSS "Foul Draughts" by Knaresbrough for his 'Sufferings" and the fair copy of the "Sufferings" were acquired by Cuthbert Constable of Burton Constable, Holderness They remained in the library at Burton Constableuntil they were sold at Sotheby'sin June 1889. The MS "Composition Book" passed to Ushaw College Library, where it remains. The rest of Knaresbrough's MSS were bought by Lord Herries and form part of the Everingham MSS , at present deposited at AmpleforthAbbey.5

This MS Composition Book, here reproduced, is a boundpaper8vo. book of 150 folio88 oftext, 24 blank betweensections and therest an Alphabetical Table or index of names and rents. Itis allwritten in the same neat hand, though there are a number of additions and corrections in what appears to be Knaresbrough's hand.

1 Thereare at leasttwo lists ofcompositions at the PROCSPD 1629-31 p. 318 and 1641-3 p. 435. Perhaps the lists sent up from York (e.g. ibid 1625-49 p 621) lurk somewhere in PRO. Of course much of the material is reproduced in the Recusant RollsPRO E/377.35ff

2 Hunter Diary of R. Thoresby (1830) ii/62 ; letter from Thoresby to Towneley March 9th 1708 (amongst the "Foul Draughts" , Everingham MSS)

3 ibid firstcopies in the scribe'shand and directions fromKnaresbrough

4 MS "Sufferings of Catholicks" The fate of the original volumes is unknown. They were in Thoresby's library (Ducatus Leodensis . ed. Whittaker 1816. p 78), the contents of which are still largely untraced There is a sale catalogue of the library, with names of immediate buyers, in York Minster Library.

II Charles " He was of Ganton, though he had movedto West Heslerton nearby by 1641. The composition of 1636-7 was for himself and his wife Presumably, therefore (since there does not seem to be another recusantof thesamename) he made3 compositions1631 , 1632 and 1636-7 . (Y V)

(69) 16/69. Sir Edward Osborne to Wentworth,YorkOctober 3rd 1636 ... We have lately receyvedfrom His Matie letters in the behalfeof Sir John ThymelbyKt . of Irnham in the Co . ofLincoln,by whichwee arecommanded to graunte untothe said Sir John Thymelbyandhis

wife a lease ofall such lands and goods as do or might acrew to his Matie by reason of his Recusanciefor the liketerme as leases of the like naturearegraunted to recusantes ,reserving to his Matieduringe the said terme the yearlyRent of tenn pounds onlywitha discharge of allformerforfeitures Rentes or arrears whatsoever for his or his said wifesrecusancie And for that wee findethat in August 1632 hee compoundswith your Lopp under the yearly Rent of one hundred and three score poundes ,and hath constantly paid that Rentuntill Penticost 1635,and for that wee are of opinion that if theise his Maties letters or any others hereafter to bee obteyned of the like nature should bee putt into execucion itt would bee exceeding preiudiciall unto the service wherewith wee are intrusted for compounding with Recusantes . wee have thoughtfitt to certifie to your Lopp . hereof and to present unto your Lopp . the reasons upon which wee grounde suchour oppinion. And firste wheras in his Maties said letters of whichwee have sent your Lopp.a coppie . . . itt is recyted that his Matie hathformerly given Commande that the said Sir John Thymelbyshould nott bee proceeded against uppon anyindictmentor conviction byreasonof his Recusancieuntill his Matie pleasure should bee signified to the contrarye. certaynly sucha passage beinge once laid open his Matie will never bee free from the pressure and importunity ofsomeor other,and if by this meanes,the ordinarie proceedinges of Lawe should be stopt against them it must ofnecessityinduce that which follows in the next place in the letters,that his Matiemust take itt asa courtesiethat they will be contented to compounde,seeinge his Matie cann legally intitle himselfe to nothinge untill they bee convicted. yett Sir John Thymelbys courtesie in this particular is verie little,because hee had formerly compoundedwith your Lopp. as a Recusant Convicted. Whereof wee verily believe his Matie hath not byn informed and the composicionwithyour Lopp .it beingehis owne voluntarie act wilbe bindinge against his person and that which is now directed by his Matie wilbe no more. Itt is true indeede that his Matie heretofore in the behalfe of Doctor Moore and some others was pleased to command us to compoundewiththem att very small rates whichwee have accordingly donne,not then forseeinge the inconvenience which hath ensued,for the hope which such as are yett uncompoundedhave by some meanes or other obtayned the likefavour,is as we conceivethe cawse thattheyindeavour by all the wayespossible to declynetheir composicions,whereby both the supply and growthofthe Revenue are much hindered and lessened,and indeede some of the better sort of them comeingbeforeus to compoundeand findeingethatwee willnotacceptofsuchlowe composicionsas theyoffer havefallen off from us and given out that theywill indeavour to finde out an easier waye. Butt this case of Sir John Thymelbyis ofa farrmore dangerouse consequence thanthe rest,itt tendinge to the impairinge (if not destroyinge) of the Revenue already settled,and whichprincipally

by your Lopps . great paynes and industry hath byn so much advancedbeyond all other parts of the Kingdome, for if it shalbe once understood amongst the Recusants that after composicion made and the Rent reserved uppon itt paid for divers years the party by applyinghimselfe to his Matie hath obtayned a discharge ofthatcomposicionand a direction forthe makingeofa neweunder a farr lesse rent (as this is but a 16th part of the rent reserved upon the first) itt will in all likelyhood followe that most oftheprincipal Recusants who have already compounded in hope of findinge the like good successe will forebeare to paye their rents as Sir John Thymelbysince he is the first in discoveringethis course hath donne and if his Matiebee disappointed of his rents and the assignments placed uppon the Revenuewhich (as your Lopp . bestknowes) they are ofgreat and weightye importance to his Matie must necessarilye bee likewise dissappointed besides your Lopp . maye please to take into consideracionwhat will become of the Revenue nowe settled , which is itselfe subject to a continuall decaybydeaths,conformytyes, pleadingsand the like if the supply which it ought to give by new Composicionsbee hinderedand lessened bysuch as the first kind,and thatwhichis already gotten taken awaye by such as the latter,and much betterwere itt (if we may presume to deliver our oppinion soe farr) that if Sir John Thymelbyor any other enter into eitherof their kindes,have or shall deserve any favour or rewards from his Matie that his Matie would bee pleased to afford itt unto them (though in farr greater measure) in some other wayes where the consignment might nott soe muchdisadvantage his Maties service. all which wee subbmitt unto your good Lopp . and desireinge to receyveyour Lopps . directionsfor our further proceedingeherein, doe humblytake our leave and respect.

18 Sept: 1637. (77) 17/222 . G . Garrard to Wentworth,London,November 9th 1637 . Here hath been a horrible noyse about Lady Newporte being become a Romish Catholique She went one eavening as she came from a play at Drury Lane to Summerset House,when one of the Capuchinesreconciledher to that Popish church,ofwhichshe is now a weak member His Lordship,upon knowledge of it,being much grieved,and in a high passion,went over to Lambeth to make his complaint to my Lord Grace of Canterbury of those whom he thought had been instruments in the conversion of his wife,naming Signor Con,Watt Montagueand SirTobyMathewe. MyLords Grace wished him to meete him the next day Sunday at Court,when the King and Lords being sett at councell,His Grace told his Matieof the complaint of the Earl of Neuporte and on his knees desired that Mr Montague might be banished from Court,and that hemight have liberty to procede legally against Sir Toby Mathewe in the High CommissionCourt; for Signor Con ,he knew not howhecame hither or what he did here,therefore he would say nothing of him . His Matiewas much offended and said he would have these things

remedyed,and since hath given ordersto his Bishops concerningthis business . The truthis,neither Watt Montague,nor TobyMathewe had any hand in this particular,my Lady Duchess of Buckingham, her sister Porter and Signor Con have bin the chief agents in her conversion though it is wholly laid upon ye Capuchins And the Queen hath since sent for theyre Rector and hath chid him , and admonished him from doeing the like againe ,especially to women of Qualitye

Sir Cecil Trafford is and hath been ever willing to compound, notwithstandingthe Kings Licence,but to pay£100 p.a. 4 or 5 years arrears (for the long time behind) he thinks to be very high and truly so it is considering his estate and charges If therefore your Lopp . please weshall take £80 p.a.withthe arrears,which I thinkwill be as high a composicionas most hath bee made There is a Mr Dulton,a southerne man,who,by orderfrom the Lord Threasorour,Lord Cottington ,hath taken on Farringtons composicion at the same rate and pays all arrears thereof,which I am verygladof,for most of them are extreme grate and wouldnott otherwise have been madegood

(80) 18/35 Sir EdwardOsborneto Wentworth,? May 1638 . Your Lordshipp will perceive by this enclosed (wherewith Iheldit my duty to acquaint you) what encouraging there is here under pretence of the Kings advantage,but really for some mens private profit,to draw the Revenueof the Recusantsin the NorthernParts into another course than it now runs in,which I am confident will in short time overthrow the former For first,it presses to be suffered to issue forth to Sheriffs for levying arrears upon Inquisicions (which is done merely to enforcetaking ofleases) such 410

as have compounded will be so pillaged by Sheriffs Officers (as formerlythey have been and yet the King got little or nothing) as they will not be able to continue their rents,whereas now , those arrears,whether upon compounded or uncompounded recusancy being given in charge to our messengers,the uncompoundedmore speedily enforced to come in,and thosethat havecompoundedmuch enabled to pay their annual rents by giving but an easy composicion for those arrears. Neither ought,indeed, any monies at all,either for rents,arrears of rents,arrears on the Statute of the 20 li. , as upon Inquisition,be paid anywhere or to anybody (as I remember) butto your Lopp . or your Deputy, as may appear by your Patent of Receivership. And good reasonfor it,seeing (as your Lopp . knows) the Sherriffs leases and presentments through their under sherriffs negligenceof knavery are veryslow,if ever madeat all. The next indeavour is (and indeed the principall,for that it will be beneficiall to all through whose hands the leases must pass) to enforce a general taking of leases which without all doubt will utterlydisableall of 3 li. or under (nayand manyabove)topaytheir rents and to totally discourage all uncompounded of that rank to make composicion,the chargeof a lease being above 30 li and but2 can be included in one,and those but 40/. Andwithall,whether the statewouldthink convenient (as it wellmay not) to grantrecusants under the Great Seal all those immunities mencionedin the Lease , whichnow have but an imagination of, and yet are most of them wellpleased enough, I leavetobetter judgments. Neither willthe King have any stronger assurance of the rents (as I conceive) or quicker payment by leases then nowe he has,for,bonds being entred half yearely and all arrears of rent being given in charge of the messenger immediately after failure of payment,I dare confidently say noerevenuethe King has comes in soe speedilyand certainlyas this,forwhat purposethen should leases serve but onlyto hinder the business by giveing opportunity and colour to the Exchequer to issue warrants (?) upon pretenceofnon-payments ofrents whenthey please,because theywillthen haveto be paid inatYorke,atthetimes enforced (?) by the lease,neither can they know or take notice of what is behind for sure save (?) at your Lordshipps Deputys which must needs retard the Kings Justice. The truth is,the Exchequer men labourtoreduce all the business into their ownehandsagain if they can , whereofmyLord Threasorour seemed verysensiblewhenI spoke to him toucheing it,but the Barons,the Kings Attorney,the Solicitor and the rest of the Officers I doubt prevailtoo muchwith him by their plausible reasons,the consideracionwhereof I submitt toyour Lopps . wisedom and doe hartily desire yourspeedydirection and assistance upon the whole matter. ... havingfollowed noe other steps in the service but what your Lopp . had bidden us from the beginning,and ifwemust bechargedto have disordered his Maties revenue and preiudiced his service by raisingand duly paying in above thrice as much yearlyout ofthe

eleven Northern Counties as the Southern Commission have done out of all England and Wales besides,I am satisfied,and think hereafter they doe the King best service that raise him the least money ... I protest unto your Lopp we find nothing but rubbs and discouragementsfrom all sides that we think should helpus in the service,for as it makes me almost weary to wait and moon and toil in it without any incouragement or consideration or notice taken of my indeavours who have raised already above 3000 li. per year and 6000 li. in arrears before the renewing of many old composicions; for as now there is a fairand constant revenuewhere the King got little or nothing before I spokethis daywithmy Lord of Canterbury about the levying of High Commission fines upon compounded Recusants who have increasedthose penalties by our procurement,that we might bring them in to compound withmore speed,whereunto his answer was (it) was never his intention to chargeanyfines upon suchas became duefor non-appearance ,being summoned for Recusancy only,but where some other offence or misdemeanour went along with it,such as clandestine marriages, buryings,christenings and the like,and therefore desired me to intimate as much to my LordofYork,and if hewould not takethem offit should be done hereupon notice from me of their names (81) 18/157 .

Sir Arthur Ingram's Papers

(SirArthur Ingramthe elder carried over into his family archives a number of Council ofthe North officialpapers and one small bundle of papers of the Northern Commission for Compounding with recusants. They are now in the Temple Newsam MSS in Leeds Central Library. The following are all the papers there concerning thework ofthe Commission.)

(1) TN . LA/8/5-unsigned and undated draft on paper. Reasons humblie offered touching the NecessaryImploymentofa particularAuditorfor takingthe Accompts of Recusants Revenues & Chargingthe same beforehim.

1. That his Matie . having assigned and created the severall Offices oftwo particulerReceivorsof the said Revenues for the North and South,and therein hath declared that the same should be laide

aparte and distinguished from the Ordinary Revenues, & to be imployed toparticuleruses,as forthe Navie etc. Itis asconsequently necessary there should be a particuler Auditor assigned for the making an exacte Accompte of the . . Recusants Revenues ,and ther is no other Officer warrantable by the Lawe to Administera Charge to a Receivor or other Officer in the like Condition accomptable,but an Auditor which is agreeable to the Auncient practize and course of the Exchequer and noeinnovation.

2. That sithence the first Remembrants and Retornes made of Recusants Revenues the same have bene soe promiscuouslye Charged and have passed thoroughe soe many Officers and Clarkes hands without anie exact Accompte or due Controlment (being left at libertyeto them to charge& dischargeat their pleasures) littleor small benefitte hath accrued to the Crown therebye. Therefore necessary that all those particulers and vast charge should be reduced and broughte into oneintirebodyeofa Charge , wherebyethe Lo: Threr: of England,the Chancellor & Barrons of the Exchequer (whoe have hitherto bene declined) may from tyme to tymereceive certaine informationofthe truestate of the said Revenue

3. That the aforesaid Officers and Clarkes before whom the said Revenuesare conveyed are not proper Officers of Charge,But are rather Remembrauncers and Officers of Order and Clerkes of proces. And therefore very fitting ther should be an Auditor assigned who is not the proper Officer of Charge . And by reason of the not Imploymentof an Auditor or Officer of that kinde the said Revenuesarefallen intoe soe great an arreare,that forthearrearages past they will hardlie or withmuch difficultie be recovered,and for the future (ifnot prevented)willfall into the likeinconvenience. 4. That a particuler Auditor hath bene latelie Imployed in the Northern parts by the Lo: Deputie of Ireland for taking the Accompts of the Recusants Revenues ther retorned,upon severall Commissionswhichaccomptshave bene latelie viewed and perused, by the rt.honble.ye Lo: Cottington ,By which it appeares what Compositions have bene made by the Commissioners , whathath thereof bene paide unto his Maties Exchequer or otherwise yssued,and what remayneth in the Recusants handes unansweredwhichforme or course (if it maie hereafter be pursued) will much conduce,not onely to the preservation of His Maties. revenues in presente,But also for the Advancement of His Maties. profitt& increase of His Revenues in tyme to come .

2 William, Lord Eure, succeeded his fatherRalph in the title in 1617. He was presented as a recusant at Malton Quarter Sessions, Oct. 1st 1618 At the next Sessions, at Helmsley, Jan. 7th 1619 it was noted that"Will Lord Eure having been indicted as a Recusantandpublic proclamation&c and since the last Quarter Sessions the indictment was removed by Certiorari and that the said Lord Eure did not appear &c." (NRQS) In Jan. 1639 his son and daughterswere convicted He himself was at last convicted in July 1641. He had been given a "letter of Protection" against conviction in 1640. (NRQS; Magee The English Recusants . p. 127) It was not only influence which protected him for so long from conviction He inherited a load of debts and the story of his famous strugglesagainstthe bailiffs, his law-suitsagainst Lord Arundell and other trustees and his imprisonment in the Tower in the 1630s for meeting the sheriff with force is given in CSPD 1623-5 p 299 ; 1631-3 p. 425 ; 441 : 1635 pp 28, 284. His own estimates ofhis debts varied between21,500 li and 32,000 li. According to Panzani he was a supporter oftheBishop of Chalcedon (Gillow.)

Another Yorkshire peer who evadedconviction for a long time seems to have been Thomas Bellasis , Viscount Fauconberg , not mentioned in NRQS as a Catholic, an active J.P. 1627-9, yet, according to his son , reconciledto theChurch in 1615, and a recusantat last at his death inthe 1650s (Hist MSS Comm .
