QUARTUM   HEMEROLOGIUM 
ab  an  :  1641  ad  an:  1647 

[Pages  1-14  blank;  on  page  15  the  Title  and  the  first  two 
paragraphs  of  the  Preface,  as  printed  below,  are  written.  To  the  title 
Canon  'Tierney  has  added  a  pencilled  note : — "  This  part  of  the  Diary  is 
called  by  Bish.  Challoner,  'Mr.  Ireland's  Diary'  (Missionary  Priests,  ii, 
187,  etc.)  No  doubt,  therefore,  it  is  in  Ireland's  handwriting.  He  was 
Procurator  from  this  time  to  1647,  when  the  hand  changes."  On  page  20 
the  Diary  begins,  repeating  the  title  and  first  two  paragraphs  already 
written  on  page  15,  with  the  variants  that  the  name  Barberini  which 
was  abbreviated  on  page  15  is  here  written  in  full,  and  the  date  in  the 
title  there  ivritten  as  a  numeral  is  here  given  in  words.'}

PlLEFATIO. 

NONUS  jam  agitur  annus  ex  quo  laudatissimus  mos  ille  indies 
summatim  res  nostras  colligendi  penitus  intercisus  est,  utpote 
a  morte  Rdi  Dni  D.  ffrancisci  Barber,  Presbyteri  et  hujus  Collegii 
Procuratoris  fidelissimi,  qui  huic  operi  gnaviter  incumbebat. 
Quo  tamen  tarn  laudata,  et  a  primordiis  Collegii  religiose  fere 
servata  consuetudo  postliminio  quasi  restituta  tandem  reviviscat, 
nos  illam  ex  quo  R.  D.  Georgius  Muscottus  Collegii  gubernacula 
suscepit,  pro  tenuitate  nostra  ex  speciali  ipsius  mandato  in 
integrum  restituere  non  gravabimur. 

Cum  eximius  Dominus  ac  Magister  noster  D.  Matthaeus 
Kellisonus  S.  T.  Doctor  et  Collegii  Anglorum  Duaceni  Prseses 
meritissimus  anno  aetatis  suae  80,  sacerdotii  52,  Praesidentiae 
vero  27  (quo  munere  summa  vigilantia,  sollicitudine  et  charitate 
perfunctus  est)  maximarum  virtutum  posteris  exempla  relinquens, 
anno  Domini  1641  die  21  Januarii  Duaci  in  dicto  Collegio,  diem 
clausisset  extremum,  SSmus  Dominus  noster  Urbanus  Papa  Octavus 
de  ejus  obitu  certior  factus,  ex  omni  clero  Anglicano  D.  Georgium 
Muscottum  virum  doctrina,  prudentia  et  pietate  insignem 
post  plurimos  pro  fide  Catholica  in  vinea  Anglicana  exantlatos 
labores,  post  diuturnas  diversorum  carcerum  per  20  et  amplius 
annos  molestias  strenue  superatas,  mortisque  pro  fide  sententiam 
alacriter  sustentatam,  summa  omnium  gratulatione  selegit  et 
in  Praesidem  dicti  Collegii  feliciter  ordinavit  ;  datis  primum  [22]

die  2°  Maii  1641,  Eml88lmi  Cardinalis  Barberini  literis  ad 
Officiates,  Lectores  et  Alumnos  dicti  Collegii  consolatoriis  de 
morte  Praesidis  defuncti,  pariter  et  exhortatoriis  ut  predictum 
Rdm  D.  Georgium  Muscottum  amanter  amplecteretur,  eique 
tanquam  Praesidi  obedientiam  et  obsequium  exhiberent,  quarum 
tenorem  subjungendum  duximus. 

Admodum  Rdi  in  Christo. 

Quern  de  morte  vestri  Praesidis  Matthaei  Kellisoni  concepistis, 
et  mihi  per  literas  significastis  maerorem  nova  probatissimi 
Viri  Doctoris  Georgii  Moschetti  electione  levandum  duxi.  Is 
saecularis  sacerdos  est,  quod  vos  tarn  anxie  optastis,  et  multis 
pro  fide  Catholica  olim  exantlatis  laboribus,  et  tempore  Londin- 
ensis  pestilentiae  exhibitis  pietatis  officiis  ita  commendatus, 
ut  spem  magnam  faciat  fore  ut  Collegium  istud  vestrum  sub 
ejus  regimine,  doctrina,  moribus,  zelo  fidei  in  dies  magis  efflores- 
cat,  et  pace  et  concordia,  in  qua  est  locus  Dei,  crescat  et 
augeatur. 

Hunc  igitur  propriis  meritis  et  mea  pariter  erga  vos  charitate 
commendatum  complectamini,  eique  quam  defuncto  praestitistis 
obedientiam  et  obsequium  exhibete,  meque  quern  vestri  et 
omnium  AnglicX1  Catholicorum  amantissimum  esse  scitis,  ora- 
tionum  vestrarum  participem  facite.  Literas  patentes  pro  novo 
Preside  propediem  submittam.

Quarto  deinde  die  ejusdem  Maii  promissae  suae  Emtiae  patentes, 
quibus  in  Praesidem  constituitur,  ad  praefatum  D.  Muschottum 
in  carcere  pro  fide  tune  Londini  detentum,  sunt  datae  in  haec 
verba  : 

Franciscus  Sw  Laurentii  in  Damaso  Card118  Barberinus 
S.  R.  E.  Vicecanc118  et  Regni  Angliae  Protector. 

Dilecto  nobis   Rdo   D.    Georgio   Muschetto   Salutem. 

Cum  sicut  accepimus  Collegium  Anglorum  Duacenum  nuper 
ob  mortem  Matthaei  Kellisoni  Praeside  destitutum  sit,  nostrique 
officii  sit,  pro  eo  quo  fungimur  munere  Protectoris  Anglian 
apud  Sanctam  Sedem  Apostolicam,  de  simili  Praeside  ei  Collegio 
providere,  te  quem  probitate  prudentia,  doctrina,  religionis 
et  fidei  zelo  a  Deo  insignitum  novimus,  praedicti  Collegii  Anglorum 
Duaceni  Praesidem  constituendum  duximus ;  prout  praesentium 
tenore  autoritate  nostra  de  mandate  etiam  SSml  D.  N.  constitui- 
mus  [23]  et  deputamus :  Volentes  te  omnibus  facultatibus 
privilegiis,  praeeminentiis,  et  emolumentis  quibus  similes  Praesides 
hactenus  usi  sunt,  frui,  potiri  et  gaudere ;  Mandantes  proinde 
et  praecipientes  Dilectis  in  Christo  Ofncialibus  Lectoribus,  Alumnis 
caeterisque  dicti  Collegii  Ministris  et  inferioribus  famulis  quibus- 
cumque  ut  te  tanquam  verum  et  legitimum  Collegii  Praesidem 
agnoscant,  tibique  in  omnibus  debitum  obsequium  et  obedientiam

exhibeant :  Tibi  vero  lit  Ecclesiasticam  disciplinam  et  concordiam 
ante  omnia  promovere  cures  injungimus  ;  Sic  enim  villicationis 
tuce  rationem  Christo  Domino  in  die  judicii  tanquam  bonus  et 
fidelis  servus,  et  ejusdem  Christi  Dni.  Vicario,  sive  Nobis, 
quoties  opus  fuerit,  tanquam  prudens  Minister  praeclare  reddes. 
Omnino  autem  ne  quid  novi  ad  Collegii  praedicti  regimen  spectans 
nobis  inconsultis,  aut  a  Sta  Sede  Apostolica  non  obtenta  licentia 
introducas  prohibemus.

Quibus  perspectis  statuque  Collegii  sub  immense  seris  alieni 
pondere  ingemiscentis,  et  in  medio  Castrorum  ex  disidiis  poten- 
tissimorum  Hispaniarum  et  Galliarum  Regum  tune  temporis 
constituti  diligenter  appenso,  praefatus  D118  Muschottus  Rdmo 
Dno.  Calcedonensi  Episcopo  adhortante,  admodum  Rdo  D.  D. 
Champnaeo  Capituli  Decano,  universoque  Clero  Anglicano  pro- 
pellente,  necessitatibusque  insuper  dicti  Collegii  indies  magis 
magisque  prementibus  vix  tandem  praedicti  Collegii  gubernacula 
renitens  invitusque  suscepit.  Cum  ecce  literac  ex  improviso  a 
quatuor  primariis  Collegii  senioribus,  utpote  a  duobus  Theologiae 
professoribus,  a  Procuratore  et  Praefecto  Generali  taedio  rerum 
jam  fatigatis,  dimcultatesque  Collegii  causantibus,  acceptae 
leguntur,  quibus  significabant  se  in  animo  fixum  habere  a  Collegio 
discedere,  intraque  unius  mensis  spatium  se  ab  omnibus  in 
Collegio  officiis  et  lectionibus  exuere. 

[24]  Quod  cum  Rdus  Dns  Praeses  novas  difficultates  in  ipso 
limine  pullulantes  cerneret  se  operi  diligentius  accingens,  ut 
urgentibus  Collegii  necessitatibus  occurreret  mille  florenos  in 
communes  usus  Confessario  Collegii  Dno.  Davisio,  qui  praefatis 
litteris  non  subscripserat,  protinus  assignavit,  et  aliquos,  qui 
Collegii  curam  agerent  donee  ipse  in  ergastulo  detinebatur, 
praemittendos  duxit.  Habitoque  cum  admodum  R.  Dno  Champnaeo, 
caeterisque  confratribus  tune  Londini  commorantibus,  hac  de  re 
consilio  ex  eorum  consensu  R.  D.  Gulielmum  Hydaeum  (qui 
per  quadriennium  in  eodem  Collegio  philosophiam  praelegerat, 
et  non  ita  pridem  Theologias  praelegendas  per  biennium  et 
amplius  ibidem  operam  egregie  navaverat),  et  Edmundum  Irelan- 
dum  quondam  ejusdem  Collegii  Agent  em  Londini,  et  deinceps 
alibi ;  ilium  quidem  in  Vicepresidem  Collegii  cum  plenaria  sua 
potestate,  donee  ipsemet  veniret,  erectum,  hunc  vero  in  Procura- 
torem  et  Praefectum  Generalem  constitutum,  ambos  ad  iter 
confestim  accinctos  ad  Collegii  subsidium  celeriter  destinavit, 
qui  Londino  solventes,  tempestate  nondum  sedata,  nono  tandem 
die  utpote  I2mo  Octobris  1641  Duacum  securi  pervenerunt

et  in  Collegio,  tarn  a  senioribus  (nullus  enim  praeter  D.  Nicolaum 
Middletonum  secundarium  Theologiae  Professorem  adhuc  dis- 
cesserat)  quam  a  sacerdotibus  et  caeteris  alumnis  perhumaniter 
accept!  sunt. 

Post  biduum  R.  D.  Hyde  coram  omnibus  presbyteris,  theologis, 
et  dicti  Collegii  studiosis  suam  authoritatem  promulgavit,  et  in 
signum  humilis  acceptationis  rogavit  ut  omnes  se  ad  Ecclesiam 
statim  conferrent  quinquies  Pater  et  Ave  recitatur,  quod  et  factum 
est.  Edmundus  vero  Irelandus  ne  cuivis  offendiculum  daret,  nee 
Procurators  nee  Praefecti  Generalis  muneribus  aperte  se  immiscuit 
ante  2gum  praedicti  Octobris,  quo  die  tarn  D.  Sanfordus  Procurator, 
quam  D.  Wake,  Praefectus  [25]  nuper  Generalis  e  Collegio  disces- 
serunt  in  Angliam  profecturi. 

Per  id  temporis  tam  R.  D.  Vicepraeses  quam  Edmundus  Irelandus 
summis  viribus  contenderunt  ut  statum  Collegii  perspectum  haberent. 
Inprimis  omnia  Collegii  membra,  tam  famulos  quam  studiosos 
recensuere,  repertisque  senioribus  tribus  utpote  Confessario  uno, 
et  duobus  philosophic  professoribus,  (D.  enim  Gulielmum  Hart, 
qui  febri  quartana  duntaxat  detentus,  discessum  brevi  meditabatur, 
in  numerum  non  redegerunt)  Sacerdotibus  quatuor,  theologis  quin- 
que,  philosophis  novem,  rhetoribus  sex,  syntaxianis  duobus, 
grammatico  uno,  famulis  vero  novem,  inter  quos  duobus  depre- 
hensis  janitoribus,  alterum  senio  pene,  et  annis  inutilem  con- 
festim  dimiserunt,  et  integer  numerus  Collegialium,  comprehensis 
etiam  ipsis,  consistebat  quadragenarius. 

Deinde  ad  libros  Collegii  ratiocinarios  animos  applicabant, 
et  cum  ex  rationibus  a  D.  Sanfordo  nuper  firmatis  (quae  quidem 
tantum  continebant  debita  in  Belgio  contracta)  debita  Collegii 
viginti  quinque  millia  et  trecentos  nonaginta  duos  et  duodecim 
asses  excedere  non  videbantur,  re  penitius  inspecta,  et  credi- 
toribus  aliis  sub  adventum  novorum  officialium  in  lucem  prode- 
untibus  ad  summam  viginti  sex  millium  nongintorum  quinqua- 
ginta  quatuor  florenorum  et  quatuordecim  assium  eadem  debita 
excrescere  deprehensum  est. 

Porro  adjectis  debitis  in  Anglia  pro  quibus  Collegium  solvit 
census  annuos  ad  rationem  octo  pro  centum  nee  non  et  com- 
putatis  fundationibus  absumptis  in  usum  Collegii,  oneribus 
nihilominus  relictis,  totalis  debitorum  summa  ad  usque  quadraginta 
quatuor  millia  [26]  quingentos  octoginta  tres  florenos  et  novem- 
decim  asses  pertingere  visa  est,  ut  ex  catalogo  infra  ponendo 
clarius  consideranti  patebit. 

Praeterea  inter  omnes  studiosos  octo  tantum  reperti  sunt 
qui  pensiones  annuatim  persolvere  tenebantur,  reliqui  enim  vel 
in  alumnorum  numerum  sunt  admissi  vel  ex  contractibus  pecunia 
numerata  et  jamdudum  absumpta  initis  ab  ulteriori  solutione 
liberabantur.  Qui  vero  in  Collegio  convictorum  more  alebantur  ultra 
ducentos  florenos  annuatim  solvere  ut  plurimum  non  tenebantur, 
cum  tamen,  tam  ex  rationibus  tribus  abhinc  annis  ab  eximio 
Dno  Edmundo  Stratfordo  et  D.  [blank]  Martino  Collegii  tune 


1641  FOURTH    DOUAY    DIARY  427 

temporis  Procuratore  ad  calculum  redactis,  quam  ex  recentiori- 
bus  ab  Edmundo  Irelando  (pro  notitia  quam  adhuc  habere 
poterat)  jamjam  initis  satis  constet  neminem  convictorum 
posse  in  hoc  Collegio,  uti  moris  est  nutriri,  tarn  communibus 
quam  privatis  expensis  in  computus  plene  reductis,  infra  trecen- 
torum  florenorum  impensas  annuatim  exhibendas. 

Horrea  denique  omni  genere  commeatus  destituta  visebant  ; 
in  cellariis  viginti  majora  dolia  cerevisiae  repererunt,  parum 
butyri,  majorem  copiam  casei,  ad  usum  vero  culinae  paucissima 
ligna  licet  hiemps  jam  instaret,  praeter  tria  millia  fasciculorum 
in  unum  cumulum  congestorum,  ita  ut  omnes  provisiones  quae 
per  domum  ullo  modo  reperiri  poterant  vix  aut  ne  vix  quidem 
aestimari  poterant  pretio  sexcentorum  florenorum. 

Ex  pensione  Apostolica  pro  decursis  mensibus  debebantur 
octoginta  duo  floreni  supra  duo  millia  et  decem  asses,  in  parata 
pecunia  numerabantur  in  manibus  Domini  Davisii  Confessarii 
centum  quatuordecim  floreni  et  sex  stuyveri,  reliquiae  quidem 
mille  florenorum  supradictorum  a  R.  D.  Preside  illi  consigna- 
torum  in  usus  Collegii.  Quicquid  enim  commeatus  [27]  erat  in 
Collegio,  vel  ab  illo  median tibus  dictis  pecuniis  paratum  fuerat, 
vel  ex  credito  ab  aliis  inferebatur,  ac  propterea  inter  debita 
Collegii  merito  recensendum.  Et  haec  praesens  rerum  facies. 

Summa  igitur  cura  habita  est  ut  annona  in  totius  anni  usum 
paulatim  inferreretur ;  quinque  enim  millia  florenorum  secum 
ex  Anglia  in  hunc  finem  attulerant,  omniaque,  juxta  mandata 
quae  a  R.  D.  Praeside  acceperant,  numerata  pecunia  coemebant, 
ut  si  debita  Collegii  non  multum  diminuere  possent,  minime 
saltern  augerent.  Singulis  tamen  mensibus  veterana  debita, 
si  illis  suppeteret,  nonnihil  diminuere  studebant,  et  procedente 
tempore  plurimum  diminuebant,  ut  ex  dicendis  inferius  clare 
patebit. 

Adventus  R.  Dni  Prczsidis.  Dum  vero  haec  aguntur  Rdus  Dns 
Praeses,  intercedente  serenissima,  et  pientissima  Regina  Angliae, 
regia  authoritate  in  exilium  missus  est,  qui  vinculis  excussis 
illico  se  Duacum  contulit,  ubi  summo  omnium  suorum  gaudio 
decima  quarta  die  Novembris  laetanter  susceptus  est. 

Postridie  Dominicae  Adventus  D.  Gulielmus  Hartius  olim 
philosophise  et  Theologiae  in  hoc  Collegio  Professor  inde  discessit 
in  oppidum,  opportunitatem  expectans  transmeandi  in  Galliam 
et  inde  Romam.  Et  vigesima  octava  Decembris  Duaco  decedens 
cum  tubicine  Attrebatensi  Lutetiam  Parisiorum  versus  iter 
arripuit,  ubi  aliquot  menses  commoratus,  cum  litteris  commenda- 
titiis  Rdmi  Dni,Episcopi  Chalcedonensis  et  aliorum,  iter  aggrediens 
Romam  se  contulit,  et  ab  Eminentissimo  Dno  D.  Francisco 
Barberino  perhumaniter  exceptus,  ab  eodem  post  aliquot  mensium 
decursum  lectione  publica  philosophiae  in  Sapientia  donatus  est. 
[28]  Sequitur  catalogus  omnium  debitorum  quibus  hocce  Collegium 
gravabatur  die  vigesima  sexta  Octobris  anni  1641,  cum  DD.  Gulielmus 
Hyde  et  Edmundus  Irelandus  suis  omciis  fungi  caeperunt.

Anno  Domini  1642 

Die  quarto  Januarii  Duacum  venit  Edoardus  Fitz-herbert, 
alias  Fettiplace,  sacerdos  hujus  Collegii  qui  aliquot  annos  in 
vinea  Anglicana  transegerat,  Generalis  Praefecti  officio  functurus, 
pensionem  nihilominus  trecentorum  florenorum  per  annum,  in 
Collegii  usus  ex  charitate  refundens  ac  si  Convictor  esset. 

Die  28VO  Januarii  £  Collegio  dimissus  est  Joannes  Danby 
hie  Talbot,  philosophic  operam  dans,  postquam  per  quin 
quennium  fere  studiis  hie  vacasset,  saecularem  vitam  aggressurus, 
eo  quod  sumptibus  Collegii  jam  vivens  alia  se  in  animo  habere 
ab  institutione  Collegii  aliena  omnino  declarasset. 
Martyrium  Die  2I° :  S"  Agneti  sacro  R-  D-  Thomas  Greene 
b.'  Thomae  communiter  Reynolds  natus  Oxonii,  hujus  Collegii 
Reynolds  alumnus  et  sacerdos,  passus  est  Londini  state  jam 

^randajvus.  Et  cum  esset  [35]  natura  metulosior,  et  ob  senium 
jam  factus  infirmior  plurimum  extulit  gloriam  Dei,  admirabundus 
quod  tarn  debilem  et  timidum  senem  corroborasset  ad  tarn 
acerbam,  et  ignominiosam  mortem  fortiter  et  alacriter  subeun- 
dam.  Anno  Dni.  1628  capitis  damnatus  est  earn  sol  am  ob 
causam  quod  sacerdos  esset,  sed  clementissimus  Rex  Carolus 
ad  instantiam  serenissimae  Reginae  vitam  illi  prorogavit ;  ita 
tamen  ut  ab  illo  usque  ad  praesentem  annum,  utpote  per  quatuor 
decim  annos  sub  custodia  manserit  Londini.  Hoc  yero  anno  jussu 
parliamenti  in  arenam  vocatus  absque  ulla  prioris  caussae  dis- 
quisitione,  aut  novi  criminis  delatione  ad  lanienam  raptus  est,  et 
glorioso  martyrio  vitam  finivit,  quam  multis  *  longo  jam  tempore  in 
Angha  agens  cumulaverat,  nam  plurimos  a  via  veritatis  aberrantes, 
zelo  Dei  fervens,  ad  caulas  Ecclesiae  Catholicae  reduxerat,  et  factus 
bonus  odor  Christi  a  vitiis  ad  virtutis  amorem  attraxerat. 

Eadem    die    pariter   cum    illo    passus    est    R.    Pater

Die  16°  Februarii  Mr  Franciscus  Blaxton  Theologus  tertii 
anni  et  Collegii  alumnus  a  Rdo  D.  Prseside  coram  omnibus 
senioribus  acriter  reprehensus  est,  quod  cum  saepius  a  morte 
Praesidis  defuncti  in  oppidum  in  domos  saecularium  sine  venia 
exivisset  et  tempus  inibi  inutiliter  bibendo  et  garriendo  contri- 
visset,  etiam  ab  adventu  novi  Praesidis  monitus  non  destitisset, 
sed  pluribus  malum  praebuisset  exemplum.  Et  parum  abfuit 
quin  fuisset  dimissus,  sed  ad  instantiam  D.  Vicepraesidis,  et  ex 
consensu  reliquorum  seniorum  ad  ulteriorem  probationem  duo 
insuper  menses  illi  a  D.  Praeside  indulti  sunt. 

Die  13  Martii  Joannes  Smithson  hie  Ducket  et  Thomas 
Forcer,  hie  Langley,  ille  Rhetor,  hie  vero  [36]  grammaticus  e 
Collegio  discesserunt  in  Angliam  profecturi.  Ille  quidem  cum 
intentione  revertendi  et  Religionem  Carmelitarum  discalceatorum 
ingrediendi ;  hie  vero  dimissus  eo  quod  ad  studia  cum  non  esset 
multum  idoneus,  suos  visendi  studio  teneretur,  a  quibus  suae 
pensionis  solutio  nonnihil  negligebatur.

Lockwood*  Passus  est  Eboraci  eo  quod  Sacerdos  Romanus 
martyr.°°C  esset,  quod  libenter  fassus  est,  et  addidit  hoc 

verisimilius  esse,  eo  quod  esset  Romae  ordinatus. 
In  Anglia  ad  44or  annos  munera  Sacerdotis  obierat,  et  cum 
jam  senio  pene  confectus  cum  dimcultate  scalam  ad  patibulum 
anhelans  ascenderet  subridens  coram  populo  dixit,  quis  non 
tantum  laboraret,  ut  caelum  peteret.  Salutaria  monita  tanquam 
alter  Eleazarus  vir  venerabilis  populo  moribundus  dedit,  e  cujus 
laniena  Carnifex  tanto  horrore  perculsus  est  ut  fugam  arriperet, 
et  cum  a  satellitibus  detentus  cogeretur  perficere  quod  incho- 
averat,  fune  arrepto  conabatur  se  suspendere  priusquam  quasi 
sanguinarius  dissecaret  membra  innocentum,  sed  scorti  cujusdam 
blandimentis  mox  delinitus  ex  mitiori  fit  lanio  immanissimus,  et 
omnia  tarn  hujus  Martyris  quam  commilitonis  viscera  et  pudenda 
in  frusta  minutissima  dividit,  et  in  populum  dispergit  tanquam 
furiosus.

demnatus  in  Dei  omnipotentis  manus  mira  animi  serenitate

ac  pro  quovis  alio  catholicse  Religionis  articulo  vitam  ponere,

meo  nomine  obsigno  millies  et  millies,  si  necesse  foret,  sanguine 
obsigriarem.  Ad  patibulum  doctissime  peroravit,  et  pro  conversione

Dictum  est  in  initio  hujus  diarii  fol.  4  nos  quinque  florenorum 
millia,  ad  paranda  Collegio  necessaria  nobiscum  ex  Anglia  attul- 
isse,  et  omnino  creditum  est  haec  omnia  integre  ad  Collegium 
pertinuisse,  sed  quadriennio  fere  elapso,  et  non  ante,  conclusa 
jam  visitatione,  et  rationibus  in  ea  initis  Romam  transmissis, 
significavit  nobis  R.  D.  Georgius  Gage  (e  cujus  manibus  recepta 
fuerunt  praedicta  quinque  florenorum  millia)  septingentos  et 
octoginta  florenos  eorundem  non  Collegium  sed  alio  spectare, 
non  tamen  integram  summam  unica  solutione  repetiit,  sed  per 
partes  prout  Collegium  solvendo  erat,  utpote  trecentos  florenos 
annuatim,  et  quia  viro  spectatae  probitatis  omnino  fides  adhi- 
benda  erat,  de  ordine  R.  D.  Georgii  Muschotti  Prsesidis,  praefati 
trecenti  floreni  confestim  illi  numerati  sunt.  Labente  vero 
anno  D.  Petrus  Curtesius,  visis  chartis  et  rationibus  (quae  din 
propter  persecutionem  ingruentem  et  saevientem  absconditic 
latuerant)  hoc  negotium  spectantibus,  omnino  amrmavit  quin- 
gentos  ad  minimum  florenos  pretactas  summae  ad  Collegium 
pertinere.  Atque  de  hoc  non  semel,  sed  iterum  et  tertio  summa 
confidentia  tanquam  de  re  certissima  Procuratorem  suis  literis 
certiorem  fecit.  In  qua  fide  formatae  atque  perfects  sunt 
rationes  suprapositae.  Postea  vero  cum  Edmundus  Irelandus 
Procuratoris  munus  abdicasset,  convenientibus  praefatis  DD.  Gage 
et  Curtesio  [95]  et  rem  accuratius  examinantibus,  praefatus 
Dns  Curtesius  agnovit  errorem  suum,  fatendo  se  nescisse  dictos 
septingentos  et  octoginta  florenos  mutuo  fuisse  acceptos  ad 
perficiendam  summam  quinque  millium  florenorum  in  sublevamen 
hujus  Collegii  in  ilia  extremitate  destinatorum,  atque  literis  in

Sed  ad  aliqualiter  librandas  et  firmandas  rationes  jam  positas 
in  computus  reducendi  sunt  octingenti  floreni  (nescio  qua  incuria 
in  pradictis  rationibus  omissi  sed  certe  ad  hunc  finem  non

SUMMARY  OF  THE  FOURTH   DOUAY   DIARY. 

1641-1647.  %. 

PREFACE. 

It  is  now  nine  years  since  the  praiseworthy  custom  of  daily 
recording  our  history  in  brief  has  been  altogether  omitted,  that  is, 
since  the  death  of  the  Reverend  Francis  Barber,  priest,  and  most 
trusty  procurator  of  this  College,  who  diligently  fulfilled  this  task. 
The  custom  was  praiseworthy,  and  from  the  very  foundation  of 
the  College  has  for  the  most  part  been  dutifully  observed.  Now 
that  after  an  interval  it  has  been,  as  it  were,  restored,  that  it  may  at 
length  flourish  again,  we  *  shall  not  be  reluctant  to  resume  it  from 
the  date  when  the  Reverend  George  Muscott  undertook  the  govern 
ment  of  the  College.  This  we  will  do  according  to  our  ability  and 
in  obedience  to  his  express  command. 

Mr.  Matthew  Kellison,  Doctor  of  Divinity  and  most  meritorious 
President  of  the  English  College  at  Douay,  ended  his  life  at  Douay 
in  the  said  College  on  21  January,  in  the  year  of  Our  Lord,  1641, 
in  the  Soth  year  of  his  age,  the  52nd  of  his  priesthood,  and  the  27th 
of  his  presidency  (which  office  he  had  filled  with  the  utmost  watch 
fulness,  care,  and  charity),  leaving  to  posterity  an  example  of  the 
highest  virtues.  Our  Holy  Father,  Pope  Urban  VIII,  learning  of 
his  death,  chose  Mr.  George  Muscott  from  out  of  the  whole  English 
Clergy,  and  to  the  great  joy  of  all  appointed  him  as  President  of 
the  said  College.  He  was  a  man  remarkable  for  learning,  wisdom, 
and  holiness,  who  had  undergone  many  labours  for  the  Catholic 
Faith  in  the  English  vineyard,  who  had  strenuously  overcome 
daily  sufferings  in  various  prisons  for  twenty  years  and  more, 
and  who  had  gladly  received  sentence  of  death  for  the  Faith.  The 
most  eminent  Cardinal  Barberini  sent  letters  dated  2  May,  1641, 
to  the  officials,  professors,  and  alumni  of  the  said  College,  expressing 
his  condolence  on  the  death  of  the  deceased  President,  and  also 
exhorting  them  to  receive  the  aforesaid  Mr.  George  Muscott  kindly, 
and  to  show  him  as  President  obedience  and  respect.  The  tenor  of 
these,  we  thought,  ought  to  be  here  appended. 
Very  Reverend  in  Christ, 

I  know  that  the  grief  which  you  have  felt  at  the  death  of  your 
President,  Matthew  Kellison,  and  which  you  signified  to  me  by  your 
letters,  will  be  assuaged  by  the  new  election  of  that  most  excellent 
man,  Doctor  George  Muscott.  He  is  a  secular  priest,  as  you  so 
anxiously  desired,  and  he  is  so  much  commended  by  the  many 
labours  formerly  undergone  for  the  Catholic  Faith,  and  by  the  offices 
of  kindness  shown  by  him  at  the  time  of  the  pestilence  in  London, 

*  The  writer  is  the  Reverend  Edmund  Ireland,  procurator.     See  Introduction. 


FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  471 

that  he  causes  great  hopes  to  spring  up  that  your  College  under  his 
guidance  will  daily  flourish  more  and  more  in  learning,  virtue,  and 
zeal  for  the  Faith,  and  will  grow  and  increase  in  that  peace  and  har 
mony  in  which  God's  place  is  found. 

Receive,  therefore,  him  who  is  commended  equally  by  his  own 
merits  and  by  my  regard  for  you,  and  show  towards  him  the  same 
obedience  and  duty  which  you  paid  to  the  deceased  President.  And 
let  me  have  a  share  in  your  prayers,  for  you  know  my  affection  for 
you,  and  all  the  Catholics  of  England.  I  will  shortly  despatch  the 
letters  patent  for  the  new  President. 

Given  at  Rome  the  second  day  of  May,  1641. 

Your  devoted, 

F.  Cardinal  Barberini. 

On  the  fourth  day  of  the  same  month  of  May,  His  Eminence's 
promised  letters  patent,  by  which  the  aforesaid  Mr.  Muscott  was 
appointed  as  President,  were  addressed  to  him  in  the  following  words 
—he  being  at  that  time  detained  a  prisoner  for  the  Faith  in  London. 

Francis  Cardinal  Barberini,  of  St.  Laurence  in  Damaso,  Vice- 
Chancellor  of  the  Holy  Roman  Church  and  Protector  of  the  Realm 
of  England,  to  our  beloved  Mr.  George  Muscott  health. 

As  we  have  heard  that  the  English  College  at  Douay  has  lately 
been  deprived  of  its  President  by  the  death  of  Matthew  Kellisori, 
and  as  it  is  our  duty  by  reason  of  the  office  which  we  hold  as  Protector 
of  England  at  the  Holy  Apostolic  See,  to  provide  another  President 
for  the  College,  we  have  considered  that  you,  whom  we  know  to  be 
marked  out  by  God  by  uprightness,  wisdom,  and  zeal  for  religion 
and  the  Faith,  should  be  appointed  President  of  the  said  English 
College  at  Douay.  Accordingly  by  the  tenor  of  these  presents 
we  by  our  authority,  on  the  command  of  His  Holiness,  do  so  consti 
tute  and  appoint  you,  willing  that  you  shall  use,  possess,  and  enjoy 
all  the  faculties,  privileges,  precedence,  and  emoluments  which 
former  Presidents  have  hitherto  possessed.  Moreover,  we  command 
and  enjoin  on  our  beloved  in  Christ,  the  officials,  lecturers,  alumni, 
and  other  ministers  and  lower  servants  of  every  kind,  in  the  said 
College  to  recognise  you  as  the  true  and  lawful  President  of  the 
College,  and  to  show  you  due  respect  and  obedience  in  all  things. 
But  on  you  we  enjoin  that  you  should  take  heed  before  everything 
to  promote  ecclesiastical  discipline  and  concord.  For  this  you  will, 
like  a  good  and  faithful  servant,  successfully  render  an  account  of 
your  stewardship  to  Christ  Our  Lord  on  the  Judgment-day  and  to 
His  Vicar,  or  to  us  as  often  as  need  may  require,  like  a  prudent 
minister.  But  above  all,  we  forbid  you  to  introduce  any  novelty 
into  the  government  of  the  said  College,  without  consulting  us  or 
obtaining  the  permission  of  the  Apostolic  See. 

Given  at  Rome,  the  fourth  day  of  May,  1641,  in  the  eighteenth 
year  of  the  pontificate  of  His  Holiness  Pope  Urban  VIII. 

F.  Cardinal  Barberini. 
Antonius  Jenegallus,  Secretary. 


472  FOURTH    DOUAY    DIARY 

Under  these  circumstances,  and  having  carefully  considered  the 
state  of  the  College  groaning  under  an  immense  load  of  debt,  and 
lying  between  the  hostile  camps  of  the  powerful  kings  of  Spain 
and  France,  the  aforesaid  Mr.  Muscott,  on  the  advice  of  the  Bishop 
of  Chalcedon  and  at  the  urgent  instance  of  Dr.  Champney,  the  dean 
of  the  Chapter,  and  of  all  the  English  Clergy,  at  length  reluctantly 
and  unwillingly  undertook  the  government  of  the  aforesaid  College, 
the  necessities  of  which  were  daily  becoming  more  and  more  burden 
some.  When,  behold !  letters  were  received  all  unexpectedly 
from  the  four  seniors  of  the  College,  that  is,  the  two  professors  of 
Theology,  the  Procurator,  and  the  General  Prefect,  who  were  worn 
out  by  the  irksomeness  of  their  situation,  and  who  pleaded  as  their 
excuse  the  difficulties  of  the  College.  By  these  letters  they  intimated 
that  they  were  determined  to  leave  the  College,  and  at  the  end  of 
one  month  would  resign  all  offices  and  lectures  therein. 

The  President,  seeing  new  difficulties  springing  up  at  the  very 
outset,  applying  himself  thoroughly  to  the  task,  that  he  might  meet 
the  pressing  needs  of  the  College,  forthwith  despatched  to  Mr. 
Davis,  the  College  confessor,  who  had  not  signed  the  said  letters, 
a  thousand  florins  for  ordinary  expenses.  He  also  provided  some 
to  send  in  advance,  who  might  take  charge  of  the  College  as  long 
as  he  himself  was  detained  in  prison.  Having  taken  counsel  with 
Dr.  Champney  and  others  of  the  brethren,  who  were  then  in  London, 
about  the  state  of  things,  he  promptly  appointed  for  the  service 
of  the  College  the  Reverend  William  Hyde  (who  for  four  years  had 
lectured  on  philosophy  at  the  College,  and  not  long  before  had  success 
fully  devoted  himself  to  lecturing  in  theology  there  for  two  years 
and  more)  and  Edmund  Ireland,  formerly  agent  of  the  College  in 
London,  and  subsequently  elsewhere.  The  former  he  appointed 
as  Vice-President  of  the  College,  with  full  powers  until  he  himself 
should  arrive  ;  the  latter  he  made  procurator  and  general  prefect. 
Both  immediately  entered  upon  their  journey,  and,  leaving  London 
while  a  storm  was  still  raging,  at  length  on  the  ninth  day,  that  is 
October  12,  1641,  arrived  safely  at  Douay  ;  and  at  the  College  they 
were  very  kindly  received  both  by  the  seniors  (for  no  one  had  yet 
left  except  Mr.  Nicholas  Middleton,  the  junior  professor  of  theology) 
and  by  the  priests  and  other  alumni. 

Two  days  afterwards,  Mr.  Hyde  published  his  authority  before 
all  the  priests,  theological  students,  and  boys  of  the  said  College, 
and  he  requested,  as  a  mark  of  their  humble  acceptance,  that  all 
should  go  at  once  to  the  Church,  and  there  recite  the  Pater  and  Ave 
five  times  ;  which  was  done.  But  Edmund  Ireland,  lest  he  should 
give  the  least  offence  to  anybody,  did  not  openly  take  upon  himself 
the  offices  of  procurator  and  general  prefect,  until  the  2Qth  of  October, 
on  which  day  Mr.  San  ford,  the  procurator,  and  Mr.  Wake,  the  late 
general  prefect,  left  the  College  to  return  to  England. 

Throughout  that  period  both  the  Vice-President  and  Edmund 
Ireland  exerted  themselves  to  the  utmost  to  realise  the  condition 
of  the  College.  First  they  made  a  census  of  all  the  members  of  the 


1(541  FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  473 

College,  both  servants  and  students,  and  they  found  that  there 
were  three  seniors,  namely,  one  confessor  and  two  professors  of 
philosophy  (for  they  did  not  include  Mr.  William  Hart,  who,  though 
he  was  detained  by  quartan  ague,  yet  intended  to  depart  shortly), 
four  priests,  five  students  in  theology,  nine  in  philosophy,  six  in 
rhetoric,  two  in  syntax,  one  in  grammar,  and  nine  servants.  "  Finding 
two  door-keepers  among  these,  they  immediately  dismissed  one  who 
was  almost  useless  through  old  age,  and  then  the  whole  number  of 
inmates  of  the  College,  including  themselves,  was  forty. 

Then  they  turned  their  attention  to  the  College  account  books, 
and  though  from  the  accounts  recently  posted  by  Mr.  Sanford 
(which,  indeed,  only  included  debts  contracted  in  Belgium),  the 
debts  of  the  College  did  not  appear  to  exceed  25,392  florins  arid  12 
stivers,  yet  when  affairs  were  more  thoroughly  investigated,  and  fresh 
creditors  came  to  light  on  the  arrival  of  new  officials,  it  was  discovered 
that  the  same  debts  amounted  to  the  sum  of  26,954  florins  and 
14  stivers.  Moreover,  when  the  debts  in  England  were  added  for 
which  the  College  paid  annual  interest  at  the  rate  of  eight  per  cent., 
and  when  the  foundations  which  had  been  consumed  in  the  service 
of  the  College,  though  the  obligations  remained,  had  been^  taken 
into  account,  the  total  sum  of  indebtedness  appeared  to  amount  to 
44,583  florins  and  19  stivers.  This  will  be  more  clearly  seen  by 
anyone  considering  the  list  given  below. 

Besides,  among  all  the  students,  only  eight  were  found  who  were 
bound  to  pay  the  annual  pension  ;  for  the  rest  either  had  been 
admitted  as  Alumni,  or  had  been  exempted  from  further  payment 
by  contracts  entered  into  for  money  paid  down  and  already  spent. 

Moreover,  those  who  were  being  educated  in  the  College '  as 
Convictors  were  not  bound  to  pay  more  than  two  hundred  florins 
a  year  at  the  utmost,  although  it  is  sufficiently  clear,  both  from 
calculations  made  three  years  ago  by  Mr.  Edmund  Stratford  and  Mr. 
Martin,  then  procurator  of  the  College,  and  from  recent  computations 
by  Edmund  Ireland  (according  to  the  information  which  he  had  at 
that  time  been  able  to  obtain),  that  no  Convictor  can  be  educated 
in  this  College  according  to  our  wont,  when  his  expenses  both 
public  and  private  are  taken  into  reckoning,  at  a  lower  annual  cost 
than  three  hundred  florins. 

Finally,  they  inspected  the  store-rooms,  destitute  of  all  kinds  of 
provisions  ;  but  they  found  in  the  cellars  twenty  great  casks  of 
beer,  a  little  butter,  a  larger  supply  of  cheese,  and  for  the  use  of  the 
kitchen  a  very  few  logs,  though  winter  was  at  hand,  besides  three 
thousand  bundles  of  firewood  piled  together  in  one  heap.  Thus  all 
the  provisions  which  could  be  found  anywhere  could  hardly  be 
valued  at  the  price  of  six  hundred  florins. 

From  the  Apostolic  pension  for  the  months  which  had  elapsed, 
2,082  florins  10  stivers  were  due.  In  ready  money  there  remained 
in  the  hands  of  Mr.  Davis,  the  confessor,  114  florins  6  stivers,  the 
remainder  of  the  thousand  florins  aforesaid,  forwarded  to  him  for  the 
use  of  the  College  by  the  President.  For  what  provisions  were  in 


474  FOURTH     DOUAY    DIARY  1641 

the  College  had  been  purchased  by  him  either  out  of  the  said  sum  of 
money,  or  had  been  obtained  by  others  on  credit,  and  therefore 
ought  to  be  included  among  the  debts  of  the  College.  And  this  is 
the  present  state  of  affairs. 

The  greatest  care,  therefore,  was  taken  that  the  supplies  for  the 
use  of  the  whole  year  should  gradually  be  increased,  for  they  had 
brought  with  them  from  England  five  thousand  florins  for  this  pur 
pose,  and  they  made  their  purchases  from  ready  money,  according 
to  the  commands  which  they  had  received  from  the  President,  so 
that  if  they  could  not  much  diminish  the  debts  of  the  College,  at 
least  they  should  not  increase  them.  But  every  month  they  tried 
to  diminish  the  old  debts  if  they  had  the  means,  and  as  time  went  on 
they  did  diminish  them  largely,  as  will  clearly  appear  from  what 
is  written  hereafter. 

But  while  these  things  were  happening,  the  President,  at  the 
intercession  of  the  most  serene  and  most  pious  Queen  of  England*, 
was  sent  into  exile  by  royal  authority.  And  he,  being  freed  from 
his  chains,  immediately  betook  himself  to  Douay,  where  to  the 
utmost  joy  of  all  he  was  gladly  received  on  the  fourteenth  day  of 
November. 

On  the  day  following  the  [first]  Sunday  of  Advent,  Mr.  William 
Hart,  formerly  professor  of  philosophy  and  theology  in  this  College, 
departed  from  it  into  the  town,  waiting  for  an  opportunity  of  passing 
into  France  and  thence  to  Rome.  And  on  the  twenty-eighth  of 
December,  leaving  Douay,  with  the  trumpeter  of  Arras,  he  directed 
his  journey  towards  Paris.  Having  dwelt  there  some  months,  he 
began  his  journey  and  went  to  Rome,  where  he  was  most  kindly 
received  by  the  most  eminent  Cardinal  Francesco  Barberini,  and 
after  some  months  was  appointed  public  lecturer  in  philosophy  at 
the  Sapienza. 

The  writer  of  the  Diary  proceeds  to  set  out  the  lengthy  schedules  of 
debts  to  which  he  had  previously  referred.  For  the  most  part,  they 
consisted  of  tradesmen's  accounts,  but  some  are  of  greater  interest  as 
disclosing  the  names  of  benefactors  of  the  College.  Thus  we  find  that 
"  the  noble  lady  Abigael  "  had  given  to  the  College  a  thousand  florins, 
with  the  obligation  of  two  weekly  masses  for  twenty  years  after  her 
death.  The  lady  was  still  living,  but  the  money  had  already  been  spent. 
The  College  was  also  bound  to  furnish  three  masses  a  week  in  honour 
of  the  Blessed  Trinity  in  return  for  a  thousand  florins,  which  had  been 
spent  during  the  presidency  of  Dr.  Worthington.  Four  masses  were 
to  be  said  each  year  for  the  soul  of  Thomas  Hungerford,  who  had  left 
five  hundred  florins  to  the  College. 

That  the  finances  of  the  College  were  in  a  very  confused  and  disordered 
state  is  shown  by  the  note  added  by  Mr.  Ireland  to  the  list  of  debts, 
wherein  he  says  that  Mr.  Sanford  is  not  to  be  blamed  for  having  failed 
to  compile  a  complete  list  of  liabilities,  since  "  his  successor,  who 
expended  every  effort  in  that  task,  could  scarcely  arrive  at  a  complete 
knowledge  of  them  "  after  two  years'  investigation. 

Mr.  Ireland's  conclusion  was  that  the  College  owed  nearly  forty-five 

*  Henrietta  Maria. 


1641-42  FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  475 

thousand  florins,  against  which  he  could  only  set  an  annual  income  of 
about  5,700  florins. 

After  this  lengthy  and  very  valuable  statement  of  the  condition 
of  the  English  College  in  the  autumn  of  1641,  Mr.  Ireland  resumes  the 
Diary,  in  its  accustomed  form,  with  the  new  year,  1642. 

1642. 

On  January  4th,  Edward  Fitzherbert,  alias  Fettiplace,  a  priest 
of  this  College  who  had  spent  some  years  in  the  English  vineyard, 
came  to  Douay  to  undertake  the  office  of  General  Prefect,  paying, 
nevertheless,  out  of  his  charity  a  pension  of  three  hundred  florins 
for  the  uses  of  the  College  as  if  he  were  a  Convictor. 

Towards  the  end  of  the  month  the  College  received  news  of  the 
martyrdom  of  one  of  its  students,  the  first  for  fourteen  years.  The 
resumption  of  executions  for  religion  marks  the  failing  power  of  Charles  I 
and  the  growing  activity  of  the  Parliament.  In  this  very  month, 
the  King  had  left  London,  never  to  return  till  he  came  as  a  prisoner 
to  meet  his  death  : — 

January  2ist.  On  the  feast  of  St.  Agnes,  the  reverend  Thomas 
Greene,  commonly  called  Reynolds,  a  native  of  Oxford,  alumnus 
and  priest  of  this  College,  suffered  at  London,  being  well  advanced 
in  years.  And  being  by  nature  somewhat  timid  and  now  weakened 
by  old  age,  he  showed  forth  in  an  astonishing  manner  the  glory  of 
God,  who  had  strengthened  so  weak  and  timid  an  old  man  to  undergo 
bravely  and  cheerfully  such  a  bitter  and  ignominious  death.  In 
the  year  1628,  he  had  been  condemned  to  death  for  the  sole  cause 
that  he  was  a  priest ;  but  the  most  merciful  King  Charles,  at  the 
instance  of  the  Queen,  spared  his  life,  yet  so  that  from  then  to  the 
present  time — that  is,  for  fourteen  years — he  has  remained  in  durance 
at  London.  But  this  year,  by  order  of  the  Parliament,  he  was  called 
into  court,  and  without  any  investigation  of  his  former  cause,  or 
the  allegation  of  a  fresh  indictment,  he  was  carried  to  the  shambles, 
and  ended  by  a  glorious  martydom  that  life  which  he  had  enriched 
with  merits,  having  laboured  in  England  for  a  long  time.  For 
burning  with  zeal  for  God,  he  had  led  back  to  the  fold  of  the  Catholic 
Church  many  who  were  wandering  from  the  way  of  Truth,  and  becom 
ing  a  good  odour  in  Christ,  he  had  drawn  them  from  vice  to  the  love 
of  virtue. 

On  the  same  day  there  suffered  with  him  the  reverend  Father 
Alban  Roe,  priest  and  Benedictine  monk,  formerly  in  his  youth 
a  student  of  this  College. 

Three  months  later  came  the  news  of  yet  another  martyrdom, 
that  of  the  aged  John  Lockwood,  who  suffered  at  York  : — 

On  April  13,  Mr.  John  Lockwood,  who  was  eighty-seven  years 
old,  suffered  at  York  because  he  was  a  Roman  priest.  This  he 
freely  confessed,  adding  that  it  was  the  more  true,  as  he  had  been 
ordained  at  Rome.  During  forty-four  years  he  had  exercised  the 
office  of  a  priest  in  England,  and  since  it  was  only  with  difficulty 
and  loss  of  breath  that  he,  being  now  almost  worn  out  with  age, 


476  FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  1042 

could  climb  the  ladder  to  the  scaffold,  he  smiled  at  the  people  and 
said  :  "  Who  would  not  labour  a  little  to  reach  heaven  ?  "  Like 
another  Eleazar,  this  venerable  man  gave  on  the  point  of  death 
salutary  advice  to  the  people,  and  the  executioner  was  smitten  with 
such  horror  at  butchering  him  that  he  took  to  flight.  When  he  was 
stopped  by  the  guards  and  compelled  to  finish  what  he  had  begun, 
seizing  the  rope  he  tried  to  hang  himself,  rather  than  bloodthirstily 
to  dismember  the  limbs  of  the  innocent.  But  presently  being 
won  over  by  the  persuasions  of  a  certain  harlot,  from  a  humane 
man  he  became  a  most  inhuman  butcher,  and  dividing  all  the  entrails 
of  this  martyr  and  his  fellow-sufferer  into  minute  fragments,  like 
a  maniac  he  hurled  them  among  the  people. 

In  the  same  hour  there  followed  him  Mr.  Edmund  Catherick, 
alias  Huddlestone,  a  Yorkshireman,  who  shared  his  sufferings 
because  he  was  a  priest.  He  was  a  very  gentle  man,  and  a  student 
of  this  College,  aged  thirty-seven  years,  seven  of  which  he  had 
spent  as  a  strenuous  labourer  on  the  English  Mission. 

These  martyrs  were  shortly  followed  by  another,  the  Ven.  Edward 
Morgan  : — 

On  April  26th,  at  London,  Mr.  Edward  Morgan  suffered  with 
wonderful  readiness.  He  was  born  in  Wales,  in  Flintshire,  was  an 
alumnus  of  this  College,  and  was  fifty-seven  years  of  age.  On  the 
day  after  he  received  sentence  of  death,  he  was  seized  with  such  joy 
in  celebrating  the  holy  mysteries  that  he  could  only  finish  Mass 
with  the  utmost  difficulty,  and  then  only  by  turning  his  mind  from 
thinking  on  the  Holy  Name  of  Jesus,  exclaiming,  with  Blessed 
Xavier,  "  It  is  enough,  O  Lord." 

During  May  the  College  received  a  valued  token  of  the  Sovereign 
Pontiff's  affection  and  regard  : — 

On  May  I4th,  we  received  at  the  College  the  silver  cross  given 
to  this  College  three  years  ago  by  His  Holiness  Urban  VIII,  at  the 
instance  of  the  Reverend  George  Leyborne,  priest,  then  dwelling 
at  Rome,  who  signally  promoted  the  interests  of  this  house  both  at 
home  and  abroad.  Together  with  the  silver  cross  which  was  in  a 
wooden  case  filled  with  Agnus  Dei,  an  Apostolic  Brief  in  these  words 
was  received. 

URBAN  VIII,  POPE. 
Beloved  Sons,  Health  and  Apostolic  Benediction. 

Your  distinguished  merits  and  especially  your  singular  devotion 
and  observance  both  towards  Us  and  this  Holy  See  have  long  ago 
wonderfully  appealed  to  our  pontifical  love.  Wherefore  the  things 
we  often  hear  recalled  about  your  virtues,  since  they  confirm  the 
praises  of  sons  whom  We  specially  love,  afford  frequent  matter  of 
joy  to  Us.  Clearly  it  is  most  pleasing  to  Us  that  in  your  College 
your  characters  are  being  adorned  with  that  training  in  learning 
and  virtue,  from  which  no  small  advantage  to  the  Christian  common 
wealth,  no  slight  assistance  to  the  Catholic  Faith  may  result.  And 
therefore  WTe  will  always  most  willingly  display  proofs  of  Our 


1642  FOURTH     DOUAY    DIARY  477 

paternal  affection  towards  you,  whenever  the  opportunity  is  furn 
ished.  Meanwhile,  We  send  a  silver  cross  which,  We  think,  will  be 
welcome  to  you,  as  a  pledge  of  Our  good-will.  From  Our  heart  we 
impart  to  you  the  Apostolic  Benediction,  and  We  humbly  pray  the 
Most  High  Giver  of  all  things  to  load  you  abundantly  with  heavenly 
gifts. 

Given  at  Rome  from  St.  Mary  Major's  under  the  Ring  of  the 
Fisherman,  on  the  22nd  day  of  October,  1639,  in  the  I7th  Year  of 
our  pontificate. 

On  the  back  is  written  :— 
To  our  beloved  sons 

the  members  of  the  English  College  at  Douay. 
Julius  Rospigliosi. 

On  the  foot  of  the  silver  cross  these  words  are  engraved  :— 

Pope  Urban  VIII,  Supreme  Pontiff,  from  whom  many  benefits 
on  the  English  race  have  been  derived,  gave  this  cross  to  his  English 
College  at  Douay.  A.D.  1639. 

At  the  same  time  the  said  Mr.  George  Leyborne  also  obtained 
from  His  Holiness  a  privileged  altar  for  this  College. 

The  terms  of  the  brief,  which  are  given  in  full,  will  be  found  in  the 
text  of  the  Diary.  It  was  confined  to  All  Souls'  Day  and  the  seven 
succeeding  days,  and  to  Monday  in  each  week  ;  and  the  duration  of  the 
grant  was  limited  to  ten  years. 

In  August  came  the  news  of  another  martyrdom  in  London  :— 
On  Friday,  August  19,  the  Reverend  Hugh  Green,  alias  Ferdinand 
Browne,  of  London,  an  alumnus  of  this  College,  bravely  suffered 
at  Dorchester  an  illustrious  martyrdom,  or,  rather,  an  unheard-of 
butchery  on  account  of  his  priesthood.  For  when  his  belly  was  cut 
open  by  the  executioner  and  his  abdomen  placed  on  his  breast,  he 
gazed  at  it,  and  with  his  left  hand  touched  his  bowels,  while  with  his 
right  hand  he  fortified  himself  with  the  sign  of  our  redemption. 
And  while  the  executioner  was  tearing  out  his  liver,  and  disturbing 
his  entrails,  was  searching  for  his  heart,  he  distinctly  pronounced 
several  times  the  saving  name  of  Jesus.  His  forehead  was  bathed 
with  sweat,  and  blood  and  water  flowed  from  his  eyes  and  nose. 
And  when  on  account  of  the  gushing  streams  of  blood  his  tongue 
could  no  longer  pronounce  the  saving  name  of  Jesus,  his  lips  moved, 
and  the  frequent  groans  which  he  uttered  from  his  inmost  heart  were 
proof  of  the  most  bitter  pain  and  torture  which,  with  his  eyes  lifted 
to  heaven,  he  bore  with  an  unconquered  soul  for  half  an  hour  and 
more.  He  suffered  in  the  fifty-seventh  year  of  his  age,  the  cause  of 
his  death  being  that  he  was  a  Roman  priest. 

At  this  time  the  notices  of  new  students  are  fuller  than  in  the  previous 
Diary,  and  frequently  give  biographical  details.  The  amount  of  money 
which'  they  brought  for  their  pension  is  noted,  and  some  cases  are 
given  of  students  whose  pensions  were  in  arrear  being  sent  back  to 
England. 

The  departure  of  one  of  the  professors  at  the  end  of  August  is  thus 
chronicled  : — 


178  FOURTH     DOUAY    DIARY  1642-43 

August  30th.  Mr.  Anthony  Burdet,  junior  professor  of  philoso 
phy,  having  completed  his  course  of  lectures,  and  not  being  invited 
to  give  another,  left  the  College  under  pretext  of  going  to  England, 
but  he  immediately  entered  the  Society  of  Jesus. 

At  Ember-tide  five  students,  whose  names  are  given  below,  received 
all  the  major  orders. 

At  the  end  of  the  year  the  writer  gives  a  brief  review  of  the  state  of 
affairs  : — 

From  Oct.  26,  1641  (when  our  accounts  began),  until  the  end  of 
this  year,  1642,  taking  into  account  arrivals  and  departures,  there 
were  in  the  College  forty-two  persons,  of  whom  eight  or  thereabouts 
were  con  victors,  and  the  rest  were  supported  at  the  expense  of  the 
College.  And  yet  the  former  debts  of  the  College  were  this  year 
decreased  (through  God's  help)  by  nearly  six  thousand  florins. 

The  following  priests  were  ordained  : — 
Sept.    21.     Robert  Byflct. 
Thomas  Malton. 
Robert  Quintin. 
John  Rawlinson. 
Francis  Rolls. 
No  deaths  are  recorded  during  the  year. 

1643. 

On  Feb.  i,  two  of  the  newly-ordained  priests,  Mr.  Rolls  and  Mr. 
Rawlinson,  were  sent  on  the  Mission. 

In  April,  another  former  student  won  the  crown  of  martyrdom  : — 

On  the  27th  of  April,  Father  Paul  suffered  at  London.  The 
Reverend  Father  Henry  Heath,  commonly  called  Father  Paul, 
when  he  first  came  out  of  England  was  received  into  this  College, 
then  he  became  a  Franciscan  and  finally  Guardian.  He  having 
learnt  of  the  glorious  triumph  of  the  priests  in  England,  who  after 
the  inauspicious  opening  of  this  Parliament,  had  with  the  utmost 
constancy  laid  down  their  lives  for  the  cause  of  Christ,  and  feeling 
himself  on  fire  with  the  desire  of  following  in  their  footsteps,  having 
asked  and  obtained  leave  from  his  superiors,  betook  himself  to  Eng 
land  in  the  rough  dress  of  a  sailor.  There  he  begged  his  bread 
from  door  to  door,  and  on  the  night  of  his  arrival  in  London,  sleeping 
in  a  public  place  because  there  was  no  room  for  him  in  the  inn,  he 
was  arrested  as  though  he  were  devising  some  theft  or  other  crime. 
But  as  he  had  preserved  in  his  hat  a  writing  in  which  he  had  expressed 
his  intention  of  returning  to  England  and  his  reasons  therefor,  with 
additional  arguments  in  which  he  defended  the  justice  and  lawfulness 
of  such  intention,  and  asserted  the  truth  of  the  Catholic  religion, 
he  was  betrayed  by  the  discovery  of  this  paper  when  he  was  being 
searched  by  the  officers  ;  and  he  was  committed  to  prison.  There, 
in  a  few  days,  he  fulfilled  a  long  time,  and  he  afforded  great  edification 
and  example  to  all  who  visited  him,  and  being  shortly  condemned  to 
death,  he  resigned  himself  into  the  hands  of  Almighty  God  with 
wonderful  tranquility  and  readiness.  He  constantly  asserted  that  he 
had  never  doubted  that  those  who  gave  up  their  lives  for  the  sake  of 


1643-44  FOURTH     DOUAY    DIARY  479 

God's  Faith  would  be  filled  by  God  with  a  singular  sweetness  of  soul 
and  delight,  but  that  he  never  could  have  believed  that  the  joy 
would  be  so  exceeding  great  as  that  was  which  he  then  experienced, 
which,  indeed,  was  so  vehement  and  abundant  that  he  himself 
was  not  equal  to  bearing  it. 

Being  asked  what  it  was  fitting  to  hold  with  regard  to  the 
unlawful  oath,  which  is  called  the  Oath  of  Allegiance,  he  signed  with 
his  own  hand,  when  he  was  on  the  point  of  martyrdom,  a  schedule 
expressing  more  clearly  his  own  opinion.  And  he  testified  that  he 
so  certainly  believed  that  that  oath  was  repugnant  to  the  truth, 
that  he  would  be  ready  to  lay  down  his  life  for  this  Catholic  dogma 
as  much  as  for  any  other  article  of  the  Catholic  religion.  While 
writing  it,  he  said  :  "I  sign  this  schedule  with  my  name  willingly. 
If  need  were,  I  would  sign  it  a  thousand  and  a  thousand  times  in  my 
blood."  At  the  scaffold  he  made  an  eloquent  speech,  and  prayed 
most  earnestly  for  the  conversion  of  England,  until  the  cart  was 
drawn  away,  and  he  was  left  hanging  with  his  hands  lifted  up  for 
a  time  towards  heaven. 

In  the  autumn,  the  College  received  a  welcome  benefaction  : — 

October  I2th.  Mr.  George  Persons,  very  advanced  in  age  and 
almost  worn  out,  gave  to  the  College  the  residue  of  his  Neapolitan 
pension,  which  for  many  years  past  was  owing  to  him,  and  the 
President,  in  presence  of  the  Rector  Magnificus  [of  the  university], 
accepted  it  in  the  name  of  the  College. 

At  the  end  of  the  year  we  find  the  note  : — 

This  year,  taking  into  account  arrivals  and  departures,  thirty- 
eight  persons  were  being  supported  in  the  College. 

Three  priests  were  ordained  : — 

Sept.  -  Collcton. 

Henry  Glen. 
William  Canning. 

No  deaths  occurred  during  the  year. 

1644. 

Nothing  of  interest  happened  during  this  year,  and  the  entries 
are  confined  to  the  coming  and  going  of  students.  Incidentally,  there 
is  a  reference  to  the  King  of  France  touching  for  King's  Evil,  but  the 
result  is  not  described.  The  boy  who  was  afflicted  was  William  Paston, 
who  "  was  believed  to  labour  under  what  they  call  '  King's  Evil,'  and 
so  was  sent  into  France  that  he  might  gain  the  benefit  of  the  royal 
touch." 

In  August,  defensions  in  philosophy  were  held,  the  first  to  be  recorded 
since  1641.  Possibly  they  had  fallen  into  desuetude,  and  were  now 
resumed. 

No  direct  reference  is  made  in  the  Diary  to  the  civil  war  then  raging 
in  England,  though  distant  allusions  to  the  disturbed  state  of  things 
are  occasionally  found.  Thus  two  boys  are  sent  by  their  parents  to  be 
out  of  the  way  of  the  troubles,  and  two  priests  who  had  finished  their 
studies  in  August,  received  their  faculties  for  the  Mission,  but  were 
given  leave  to  stay  in  Brussels  "  until  times  are  a  little  better  in 
England." 


480  FOURTH     DOUAY     DlARY  1644-45 

In  October,  tidings  of  a  fresh  martyrdom  came  to  hand  : — 

On  September  I7th,  new  style,  or  at  least  in  the  beginning 
of  October,  Mr.  John  Duckett  suffered  at  London.  He  was  a  York- 
shireman,  an  alumnus  of  this  College,  and  was  twenty-eight  years 
old.  He  suffered  because  he  was  a  priest,  which  he  willingly  admitted 
lest  any  harm  should  happen  to  his  two  lay  companions  who  were 
arrested  with  him,  and  whom  the  Parliamentarians  threatened  with 
death  unless  they  asserted  this.  He  was  very  much  given  to  mental 
prayer  during  his  life,  and  he  sometimes  spent  the  night  in  it.  And 
that  he  might  be  more  fully  instructed  therein,  when  he  journeyed 
from  France  into  England  he  stopped  at  Niewport,  in  Flanders, 
to  confer  about  prayer  and  spiritual  matters  with  his  relative,  the 
Reverend  Father  John  Duckett,  at  that  time  the  worthy  prior  of 
the  English  Charterhouse.  One  fact  about  him  worthy  of  admira 
tion  is  remembered,  namely,  that  from  the  time  when  he  was 
pronounced  guilty  before  the  judge  until  the  end  of  his  life,  his 
face  was  so  changed  that  it  appeared  to  the  eyes  of  all  suffused  with 
a  certain  rosy  colour  and  an  unusual  but  lovely  flush  (though  he  was 
usually  rather  pale).  The  bystanders  gazed  upon  his  face  as  upon 
the  face  of  an  angel  standing  amongst  them. 

On  October  20,  High  Mass  was  sung  in  honour  of  the  Blessed 
Trinity  as  a  thanksgiving  for  the  martyrdom  o'f  Mr.  John  Duckett. 

In  November,  the  old  man,  George  Persons,  ended  his  days : — 

On  November  3rd,  in  the  evening  between  the  hours  of  eight 
and  nine,  Mr.  George  Persons,  who  for  a  year  and  a  half  or  thereabouts 
had  lived  in  the  College  near  the  doors,  being  now  worn  out  with 
old  age  and  disease,  departed  this  life.  Two  Discalced  Carmelite 
Fathers  assisted  him,  one  of  whom  was  the  Prior  (whom  he  had 
appointed  executor  of  his  will),  and  they  prayed  for  his  soul  all 
night. 

Mr.  Ireland  concludes  the  year  with  his  annual  summary : — 

This  year,  adding  the  months  of  the  arrivals  and  subtracting 
those  of  the  departures,  there  were  supported  in  the  College  thirty- 
six  persons  (four  months  remaining  over),  of  whom  twenty-two 
and  a  half  were  supported  at  the  expense  of  the  College.* 

Two  priests  were  ordained  this  year  : — 
Dec.  17.     George  Russels. 

William  Walmesley. 

The  only  death  was  that  of  George  Persons,  3  Nov. 

1645. 

This  proved  to  be  another  quiet  year.  The  first  item  of  interest 
relates  to  the  refusal  of  John  Stratford  to  be  ordained  priest  because 
of  his  scruples,  and  to  his  consequent  departure  from  the  College  : — 

sfc  Though  this  result  of  22^  persons  seems  curious  at  first  sight,  it  will  be  seen 
on  examination  to  follow  from  Mr.  Ireland's  method  of  calculation  by  months.  If 
a  person  stayed  six  months  at  the  College,  he  would  be  reckoned  as  half  a  person 
for  the  year.  The  same  result  would  follow  if  two  people  stayed  for  three  months 
each. 


1645  FOURTH  DOUAY  DIARY  481 

April  24.  Mr.  John  Stratford,  or  Litchmore,  sub-deacon,  left  the 
College,  and  hired  a  room  for  himself  in  the  town.  For  several 
years  he  had  taught  philosophy  in  the  College  with  success.  But 
in  the  present  year,  as  he  had  no  pupils,  he  was  at  liberty.  Being 
advised,  therefore,  by  the  President  to  prepare  himself  to  receive 
the  remaining  holy  orders  according  to  the  oath  he  had  taken  on 
admission,  he  procrastinated,  inventing  difficulties  as  to  his  un- 
worthiness,  from  which  he  could  not  be  moved.  The  President, 
having  carefully  deliberated  with  the  seniors  about  this  state  of 
things,  did  not  judge  it  expedient  for  him  to  tarry  longer  in  the 
College,  but  decided  that  he  should  be  dismissed  in  peace,  without 
disturbance  and  with  honour. 

In  May,  it  became  known  that  a  new  visitation  was  to  be  held  : — 

On  May  8th,  by  letters  from  the  Very  Rev.  Caspar  Laureten, 
Provost  of  the  Cathedral  of  Arras,  and  Vicar-General  during  the 
vacancy  of  that  See,  written  this  morning  and  sent  to  the  President, 
it  was  intimated  that  a  visitation  of  the  College  would  be  held  by 
commission  of  the  Pro-Nuncio  Apostolic,  to  whom  this  was  entrusted 
by  the  Sacred  Congregation  of  Propaganda  at  the  command  of  His 
Holiness  Innocent  X.  The  commission  was  addressed  to  the  said 
venerable  man,  Caspar  Laureten,  and  to  the  distinguished  master 
[in  this  university],  M.  Francis  Sylvius,  Doctor  of  Theology  and 
senior  professor,  also  dean  of  the  Church  of  St.  Amatus.  This 
intimation  the  President  humbly  and  joyfully  received,  saying  that 
the  visitation  could  conveniently  be  begun  in  a  few  days. 

On  May  i6th,  the  said  visitation  was  commenced,  after  Mass 
had  been  celebrated  at  the  High  Altar  by  Mr.  Caspar  Laureten. 
And  first  as  to  place,  all  the  rooms  both  of  the  Superiors  and  of  the 
students,  the  infirmary,  the  wardrobe,  the  offices,  and  other  parts 
of  the  College  were  inspected  by  both  visitors.  The  silver  plate  was 
exhibited,  and  the  sacred  furniture  was  shown  to  them.  Inventories 
of  all  the  College  goods  (except  only  the  books  which  are  so  dispersed 
throughout  the  house  that  even  the  names,  if  collected  together, 
would  fill  a  huge  volume)  were  very  carefully  made  and  delivered 
into  the  President's  hands. 

When  the  local  visitation  was  completed,  the  two  visitors  and 
the  Provost's  brother,  who  was  also  a  Canon  of  Arras,  and  who  acted 
as  Secretary  for  the  Visitation,  accompanied  the  President  and  the 
seniors  to  dinner  in  the  College  refectory  ;  but  after  that  the  Visitors, 
not  wishing  to  be  a  burden  to  the  College,  did  not  take  any  repast 
in  the  College  till  the  close  of  the  visitation. 

On  May  I7th,  the  Visitation  of  Persons  was  begun  by  the  Provost, 
his  brother  reducing  to  writing  the  depositions  of  each  one.  M. 
Sylvius  excused  himself  from  this  part  by  reason  of  stress  of  business. 
The  President  was  visited  first,  then  the  Vice-President,  the  Seniors, 
the  priests,  and  the  rest  each  one  in  his  turn,  nor  were  the  servants 
omitted.  As  the  number  in  the  College  was  decreasing  every  year, 
lest  it  should  be  over-burdened  as  when  the  President  arrived, 


482  FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  1645 

now  there  were  not  found  to  be  more  than  thirty  persons,  of  whom 
about  nine  were  convictors,  the  rest  being  supported  at  the  expense 
of  the  College.  At  eleven  o'clock  the  Visitor  rose  and  departed 
with  his  brother  to  his  own  house.  After  dinner  he  returned,  and 
thus  he  proceeded  every  day  till  the  whole  visitation  of  persons  was 
finished. 

On  June  26th,  the  personal  visitation  was  complete,  and  the 
Visitors  enquired  how  much  each  inmate  of  the  College  cost  annually 
to  support  for  food  and  other  necessaries,  so  that  it  might  be  decided 
whether  the  College  included  a  sufficient  number  to  satisfy  the 
Apostolic  pension.  The  books  of  all  the  disbursements  from  Oct.  26, 

1641,  to  the  end  of  May,  1645,  together  with  the  number  of  all  the 
persons  who  during  all  that  time  were  supported  in  the  College,  were 
examined  carefully,  and  it  was  sufficiently  clear  that  three  hundred 
florins  were  annually  spent  per  head.     Then  when  the  distinction 
between  alumni  and  convictors  in  each  year  was  more  thoroughly 
made,  it  was  found  that  apart  from  the  convictors  who  paid  pensions, 
in  the  first  year,  that  is  from  Oct.  26,  1641,  to  the  end  of  the  year 

1642,  twenty-nine  persons  in  all  who  paid  nothing  were  supported 
in  the  College  ;  from  the  beginning  of  the  year  1643  till  the  end  there 
of,  twenty-four  persons  and  a  half — that  is,  six  months  outstanding*; 
from  the  beginning  of  the  year  1644  to  the  end  of  the  same,  twenty- 
two  persons  and  a  half ;    finally,  from  the  beginning  of  the  year 
1645  to  the  end  of  May  just  past,  twenty  persons  and  a  half.     When 
all  this  was  more  closely  brought  to  a  reckoning,  it  was  clear  that 
during  three  years  four  thousand  five  hundred  florins  in  excess  of 
the  Apostolic  pension  had  been  spent  on  the  support  of  the  alumni  ; 
and  this  amount  would  have  sufficed  for  the  support  of  the  four 
seniors  for  the  three  years,  in  case  it  should  not  seem  good  to  the 
Cardinals  that  the  seniors  should  be  supported  out  of  the  Apostolic 
pension. 

Moreover,  in  the  discharge  of  former  debts  and  payment  of 
interest,  it  was  certain  that  fifteen  thousand  florins  had  been  spent, 
which  would  suffice  for  the  support  of  fourteen  alumni  during  the 
three  years,  and  thus  the  College  would  have  flourished,  even  in 
these  calamitous  times,  if  it  had  not  been  overburdened  with  debt. 

Then  explanation  was  given  of  the  state  in  which  the  College 
was  found  when  the  present  President,  Mr.  Muscott,  began  his 
presidency,  and  the  schedule  of  debts  copied  in  the  beginning  of  this 
book  was  shown  to  the  Visitors,  together  with  a  schedule  of  the 
debts  at  the  present  time.  Furthermore,  schedules  were  produced 
of  all  pensions,  rents,  or  funds  of  the  College  which  it  actually 
receives  or  ought  by  rights  to  receive.  Also  of  all  burdens  and  obliga 
tions  to  which  the  College  was  liable,  so  far  as  it  was  possible  to 
bring  them  to  light. 

Finally,  that  the  fruits  derived  from  the  administration  of 
the  Apostolic  pension  might  be  more  clearly  shown,  there  were  pro 
duced  the  names  of  all  admitted  as  alumni  during  this  presidency, 

afc  See  note,  p.  480. 


1645  FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY 

of  those  admitted  to  holy  orders,  and  sent  on  the  English  Mission, 
or  kept  in  this  College,  or  otherwise  disposed  of.  And  satisfaction 
was  given  to  the  Very  Reverend  Visitors  in  all  their  enquiries 
necessary  for  the  fuller  knowledge  of  the  state  of  the  College,  and 
these  results  being  collected  together  and  carefully  read  through  by 
the  Visitors,  their  Report  was  written  and  the  Visitation  closed. 

On  July  20,  the  Visitation  was  sent  to  Rome,  and  the  Visitors 
were  invited  to  dinner  at  the  College. 

In  September,  Mr.  Davis,  the  College  Confessor,  who  had  been  so 
useful  on  the  first  appointment  of  the  President,  left  the  College 
to  join  the  Benedictine  Order.  He  was  succeeded  as  confessor  by 
Edmund  Ireland,  the  writer  of  the  Diary. 

Before  the  close  of  the  year  the  College  lost  its  President,  who  had 
been  ailing  since  the  summer  : — 

On  Sunday,  December  24th,  the  President,  who  about  the  feast 
of  St.  Bartholomew,  in  August,  had  been  seized  by  quartan  ague, 
which  gradually  exhausted  him,  being  now  worn  away  so  that 
nothing  but  skin  and  bone  was  left,  drew  nigh  his  end.  First, 
summoning  his  confessor  about  four  o'clock  in  the  morning,  he  asked 
and  sought  from  him  the  benefit  of  absolution,  having  made  a  general 
confession  of  his  whole  life.  Then  he  called  all  the  students  (whom 
lovingly  he  used  to  call  his  nestlings*)  and,  while  dying,  exhorted 
them  to  the  piety  which  he  had  breathed  forth  during  the  whole 
of  his  life,  but  especially  in  this  his  final  weakness.  He  added  that 
there  were  only  two  things  to  be  observed  by  them,  namely,  the 
commandments  of  God  and  the  rules  of  the  College,  by  which  a  safe 
way  to  heaven  was  prepared  for  them.  And  having  from  his  heart 
given  them  his  blessing,  he  prayed  for  every  happiness  on  each  and 
all. 

Then,  as  the  illness  increased  and  his  powers  failed,  fixing  his 
eyes  on  heaven  as  long  as  he  could,  he  commended  his  soul  into  the 
hands  of  the  Lord  Jesus  ;  and  among  the  prayers  of  all  the  students, 
and  fortified  by  the  sacraments  of  Holy  Mother  Church,  he  expired 
between  eight  and  nine  o'clock  on  the  eve  of  the  Nativity  of  Christ 
Our  Lord.  On  that  same  day  he  himself,  long  ago  when  he  was  in 
prison,  was  seized  by  the  gaoler  while  preaching  to  the  thieves, 
and  was  thrust  into  a  most  foul  dungeon  with  the  thieves  themselves, 
being  kept  there  three  days.  But  he  bore  away  most  sweet  fruits, 
for  out  of  ten  criminals  who  shortly  after  paid  the  death  penalty, 
nine  were  converted  to  the  Catholic  Faith. 

With  regard  to  his  body,  he  was  a  man  short  in  stature,  but  well 
proportioned  in  all  his  limbs  ;  his  eyes  were  black  and  sparkling ; 
his  countenance,  especially  in  old  age,  venerable.  As  to  his  soul, 
he  was  a  great  and  noble  man  whose  conversation,  scorning  earthly 
baseness,  was  ever  in  heaven.  In  learning  he  excelled  in  a  remarkable 
fluency  in  the  Latin  tongue  ;  he  was  very  skilled  in  practical  Theology 
and  mighty  in  the  Scriptures.  In  intercourse  he  was  grave,  modest, 

#  "pullos." 


FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  1645 

affable,  temperate,  abstemious  from  wine  and  strong  beer,  willingly 
turning  his  discourse  to  piety.  As  to  his  labours,  as  long  as  his 
strength  endured,  he  was  tireless  night  and  day,  in  diligently  fulfilling 
the  duties  of  a  good  shepherd,  providing  and  ministering  both 
corporally  and  spiritually  to  the  plague-stricken  and  those  who  were 
abandoned  by  all.  Often  did  he  risk  his  own  life  to  gain  souls, 
especially  in  that  plague  of  London,  which  the  Cardinal  Protector 
recalled  in  his  letters  to  the  superiors,  lecturers,  and  students  of 
the  College  on  his  election  as  President.  If  you  regard  his  sufferings, 
lie  was  glorious—being  betrayed  by  false  brethren  for  the  sake  of 
gain,  he  had  experience  of  many  prisons  ;  was  emaciated  by  captivity 
for  twenty  years  and  more,  and  finally  was  condemned  to  death  for 
his  priesthood.  As  to  his  works  of  charity,  he  was  exemplary, 
pouring  out  the  bowels  of  his  mercy  on  the  poor,  for  whom  he  not 
only  at  the  moment  generously  provided  every  necessity,  but  he 
took  care  to  get  annual  rents  and  revenues  to  the  amount  of  four 
hundred  florins  established  in  perpetuity  for  the  support  of  orphans, 
widows  and  poor  people  kept  in  prison  for  the  Catholic  Faith  ;  and 
at  his  death  he  commended  the  care  of  this  fund  to  the  Bishop  of 
Chalcedon.  Regarding  his  administration,  he  was  farsighted  in 
the  management  of  his  resources,  sparing  of  the  goods  of  others, 
lavish  of  his  own.  He  was  strict  in  preserving  discipline,  not 
regarding  the  face  of  man  ;  keen  in  reproof,  faithful  in  admonition, 
earnest  in  exhortation,  he  shone  alike  in  work  and  word,  as  with  the 
very  look  of  an  angel.  In  respect  to  his  reputation,  he  was  note 
worthy,  with  good  report  among  the  clergy,  as  well  regular  as  secular, 
and  all  the  laity,  winning  them  by  his  many  good  deeds.  In 
truth,  he  was  such  a  man  that  the  Eminent  Cardinal  Protector  did 
not  hesitate  to  declare  him  the  flower  of  the  English  clergy. 

He  caused  discipline  to  flourish  anew,  and  he  administered 
domestic  affairs  so  brilliantly,  that  in  the  period  of  only  four  years 
during  which  he  was  President,  although  the  times  were  calamitous, 
and  England  was  blazing  with  civil  war,  and  the  Catholics  were 
oppressed,  yet  he  left  the  College  richer  by  twenty-five  thousand 
florins. 

When  making  his  will,  besides  the  thousand  florins  which  in 
September,  when  he  was  drafting  the  will,  he  had  given  to  the  College, 
he  bequeathed  to  it  five  hundred  florins,  which  it  owed  him,  as  part 
of  a  larger  sum  lent  by  him  in  the  presidency  of  Dr.  Kellison. 

He  left  in  perpetuity  the  use  of  his  books,  together  with  his 
household  linen,  to  the  future  President  for  the  time  being  ;  and 
he  ordered  his  clothes  and  some  woollen  things  to  be  sold,  and  the 
proceeds  applied  to  the  purchase  of  black  vestments  for  the  celebra 
tion  of  solemn  Mass  for  the  dead,  with  this  obligation,  that  his 
anniversary  should  be  solemnly  observed  in  the  College  for  seven 
years.  To  these  proceeds  the  executor  of  his  will  added  about  three 
hundred  florins  to  complete  the  said  vestments,  and  to  provide  altar- 
hangings  to  match,  with  this  further  obligation,  that  when  the  afore 
said  period  of  seven  years  should  have  expired,  the  priests  who 


1645-46  FOURTH     DOUAY    DIARY  485 

should  then  happen  to  be  at  the  College  should  each  and  all  for  a 
further  period  of  seven  years  offer  mass  at  least  privately  on  his 
anniversary  for  the  repose  of  his  soul.  And  this  was  proposed  to 
the  new  President,  and  by  him  accepted  and  agreed. 

He  also  bequeathed  six  thousand  florins  to  establish  a  burse  for 
the  support  of  one  student  in  this  College,  destined  for  the  English 
Mission,  without  any  other  obligation  than  that  of  observing  the 
discipline  in  all  points  as  the  other  students,  and  after  his  ordination 
to  the  priesthood,  of  offering  each  week  as  long  as  he  enjoys  the 
burse,  one  mass  for  the  soul  of  the  founder,  his  father  and  mother, 
brothers  and  sisters. 

Finally,  he  entrusted  to  the  hands  of  his  executor  letters  not  to 
be  opened  till  the  death  of  Mr.  Thomas  Roper.  An  account  of  their 
contents  will  be  given  under  date  Oct.  29,  1647,  when  news  was 
received  of  the  death  of  the  said  Mr.  Thomas  Roper. 

Funeral  of  the  President. — On  December  26th,  about  mid-day, 
the  remains  of  the  Reverend  George  Muscott,  our  late  most  worthy 
President,  were  committed  to  earth  in  the  chapel  of  the  Blessed 
Virgin  in  St.  James'  Church.  There  were  present  the  venerable 
and  very  reverend  Visitors  and  the  other  doctors,  as  well  as  an 
immense  concourse  of  people  who  flocked  together  in  great  crowds 
through  their  desire  of  witnessing  the  funeral  of  a  martyr-designate, 
and  of  one  who  had  suffered  so  much  for  the  Catholic  Faith.  For  the 
story  had  quickly  spread,  being  noised  through  the  city  owing  to  the 
unprompted  address  of  the  parish  priest  on  the  feast  of  Christmas. 

When  the  rites  had  been  accomplished  in  the  church,  the  venerable 
Visitors  returned  to  the  College  and,  having  entered  the  refectory, 
they  produced  and  read  letters  from  the  illustrious  Pro-Nuncio, 
by  which,  having  learnt  of  the  serious  illness  of  the  President,  he 
had  given  them  power  in  the  event  of  his  death  to  provide  for  the 
good  government  of  the  College,  until  other  arrangements  had  been 
made  by  our  superiors.  And  by  virtue  of  these  they  entrusted  the 
power  of  ruling  the  College  to  the  Reverend  Doctor  William  Hyde, 
Vice-President,  and  to  Edmund  Ireland,  Confessor  and  Procurator 
of  the  College,  until  it  should  be  otherwise  decreed. 

All  the  expenses  of  the  funeral  were  defrayed  by  the  executors, 
who  also  shortly  afterwards  placed  a  marble  slab  upon  the  President's 
tomb,  with  an  inscription  which,  if  anyone  should  wish,  may  be  read 
thereon. 

In  this  year  there  were  about  thirty  persons  supported  in  the 
College,  of  whom  twenty  and  a  half  were  supported  at  the  expense 
of  the  College. 

Two  priests  had  been  ordained  during  the  year  : — 
April   18.    William  Mennell. 
John    Weddington. 
1646. 

The  year  opened  with  the  death  of  a  student,  Francis  Tempest  alias 
Wilmot,  "  much  the  best  of  the  Rhetoricians,  a  youth  of  the  greatest 
promise,  far  exceeding  the  rest  both  in  virtue  and  learning."

In  April  the  superiors  received  the  form  of  the  revised  oath  to  be 
taken  by  alumni  on  admission  : — 

April  23rd.  The  venerable  M.  Caspar  Laureten,  Visitor  of  the 
College,  came  to  the  College,  bringing  with  him  the  form  of  oath  to 
be  taken  by  alumni  of  the  Venerable  Roman  College  of  the  Propa 
ganda  of  the  Faith  all  over  the  world.  He  also  brought  letters  of 
the  illustrious  Anthony  Bichi,  Apostolic  Pro-Nuncio  and  Abbot  of 
St.  Anastasia,  dated  the  I7th  day  of  April,  ordering  the  said  Visitor 
to  take  diligent  care  that  hereafter  no  other  formula  should  be  used 
in  this  College,  but  this  correct  one,  and  that  he  should  cause  this 
mandate  of  His  Holiness  to  be  entered  among  the  records  of  the 
College  that  in  future  it  may  be  faithfully  observed. 

The  formula  of  the  new  oath,  which  was  shortly  afterwards  with 
drawn,  is  then  given  (see  Latin  text).  The  Vice-President  and  Procura 
tor  undertook  that  it  should  be  received  and  entered  in  the  records  of 
the  College,  and  that  they  would  faithfully  present  it  to  the  future 
President. 

Shortly  afterwards,  they  received  two  decrees  of  the  Congregation 
of  Propaganda,  the  first,  dated  12  September,  1645,  granting  an  indulg 
ence  in  the  hour  of  death  to  the  President  and  all  the  priests  who  assisted 
him  in  the  government  of  the  College,  and  giving  him  power  to  grant 
faculties  to  all  priests  leaving  the  College  for  the  English  Mission  for 
blessing  rosaries,  crosses,  and  medals,  to  the  number  of  one  thousand 
each. 

The  second  decree,  of  even  date,  empowered  the  President  to  grant 
faculties,  such  as  were  granted  in  England,  to  one  of  the  College  Con 
fessors  for  the  English  people  who,  owing  to  the  civil  war,  had  taken 
refuge  in  Belgium,  and  could  not  find  there  English-speaking  confessors 
sufficient  for  their  numbers. 

Shortly  afterwards  an  Indult  was  received,  dated  16  Feb.,  1646, 
empowering  the  President  for  the  next  ensuing  fifteen  years  to  present 
the  students  of  his  College  for  ordination.  This  was  a  renewal  of  the 
customary  powers  of  the  President,  and  the  document  is  chiefly  of 
interest  as  showing  the  precise  terms  of  the  privilege. 

In  September  came  the  appointment  of  the  new  President  : — 

On  September  17,  Mr.  William  Hyde,  the  Vice-President,  received 
from  the  Apostolic  Internuncio  a  copy  of  the  letters  by  which 
he  was  appointed  President. 

On  the  i8th,  having  summoned  all  the  students  to  the  President's 
reception-room,  the  Reverend  William  Hyde  read  before  all  the 
letters,  or  the  copy  of  the  said  letters,  of  the  Eminent  Cardinal 
Protector  appointing  him  President. 

The  letters  exactly  reproduce  the  terms  of  those  addressed  to 
Mr.  Muscott  on  the  death  of  Dr.  Kellison  [see  Latin  text  and  translation 
at  the  beginning  of  the  Fourth  Diary]. 

They  conclude  : — "  Given  at  Rome  the  2ist  day  of  July,  1646, 
in  the  second  year  of  the  pontificate  of  His  Holiness  Innocent  X." 

The  copy  was  attested  by  the  Pro-Nuncio  in  a  certificate  dated 
27  September,  1646. 

In  the  same  month,  the  new  President  received  all  necessary  diocesan 
faculties  from  the  Vicars-General  of  the  diocese  of  Arras. 

On  October  ist,  the  schools  were  reopened  as  usual,  and  the  President, 


1 64(5-47  FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  487 

accompanied  by  the  Prefect  of  Studies,  visited  each  class,  appointing 
professors  and  exhorting  the  students  to  zeal  for  learning  and  piety. 

On  the  same  day  the  President  received  the  original  letters  of  appoint 
ment,  of  which  he  had  previously  only  had  the  attested  copy.  With 
them  was  a  short  letter  written  by  the  Cardinal  Protector,  in  Italian, 
expressing  his  interest  in  the  College  and  its  new  head. 

On  October  8th,  the  President  made  his  profession  of  faith  before 
the  Venerable  Provost  of  Arras,  and  subsequently  invited  the  Provost 
together   with   M.    Francis    Sylvius,    the    Visitors,    and   the    Provost's 
brother,  to  dine  with  him.     After  dinner  the  Syntaxians,  in  honour 
of  the  President,  performed  a  short  play  written  by  Mr.  Thomas  Middle- 
ton,  who  had  been  teaching  syntax  in  the  previous  year. 
During  the  year  three  priests  had  been  ordained  :— 
Aug.  12.     Thurstan  Anderton. 
Thomas  Duffield. 
Thomas  Gradell. 

1647. 

On  January  15,  the  President  received  from  the  Cardinal  Protector 
a  letter  informing  him  that  the  Pope  had  allowed  him  the  same  special 
privileges  which  had  been  granted  by  the  Congregation  of  Propaganda 
to  his  predecessor  in  1645.  And  in  the  following  month  he  was  given 
the  power  "se  doctorandi  "  of  taking  his  degree  in  divinity.  During 
the  next  few  months  he  passed  through  the  necessary  preliminaries 
including  the  Licentiate. 

On  April  loth,  the  President  received  the  Licentiate  in  Theology 
m  the  public  schools,  being  blessed  by  the  Vice-Chancellor,  M. 
Sylvius,  because  Dr.  Colvener,  the  Chancellor,  was  now  so  old  that 
on  account  of  his  weakness  he  could  not  come  to  the  schools.  A 
banquet  for  the  doctors  and  regents  was  prepared  in  the  College 
at  the  expense  of  the  President. 

On  the  first  of  May,  a  change  of  Procurator  was  made.  Edmund 
Ireland,  who  had  held  the  office  since  1641,  resigned,  and  was  succeeded 
by  William  Walmesley  or  Hammerton,  who  had  been  ordained  in  1644. 
The  change  afforded  Mr.  Ireland  the  opportunity  of  inserting  in  the 
Diary  a  review  of  the  financial  work  he  had  been  enabled  to  do  during 
his  five  and  a  half  years'  tenure  of  office  : — 

In  a  short  time,  the  said  Edmund  Ireland,  desiring  to  resign  the 
office  of  Procurator,  and  to  have  leisure  to  devote  himself  to  the 
encouragement  of  piety,  transferred  the  College  account-books 
to  the  hands  of  the  new  Procurator,  and  not  long  afterwards  he 
presented  to  the  President  his  final  accounts  embracing  and  including 
the  past  and  present  condition  of  the  College.  From  these  it  was 
shown  that  taking  into  account  the  debts  already  discharged,  the 
stores  of  provisions  then  in  the  College  and  the  sums  of  money  in 
hand,  in  the  five  years  and  a  half  during  which  the  said  Edmund 
Ireland  had  discharged  the  office  of  Procurator,  the  College  (through 
the  help  of  God)  was  richer  by  nearly  thirty  thousand  florins.  This 
will  clearly  appear  to  anyone  who  considers  the  appended  summaries, 
and  compares  them  with  the  state  of  the  College  as  described  in  the 
beginning  of  the  Diary,  when  he  first  took  office. 

Then  follow  schedules  of  debts  amounting  altogether  to  25,533 
florins.  Contrasting  this  with  the  figures  of  1641,  he  shows  that  while 
he  had  contracted  no  new  liabilities,  he  had  discharged  the  old  debt3 


488  FOURTH     DOUAY     DIARY  1647 

to  the  extent  of  19,050  florins.  Stores  in  the  College  were  valued  at 
2,250  florins,  and  there  were  7,143  florins  in  ready  money.  Mr.  George 
Gage,  the  agent  in  London,  held  a  further  sum  of  1,300  florins.  These 
amounts,  when  computed  in  the  current  coinage,  would  bring  in  an 
extra  sum  of  1,761  florins.  Moreover,  1,733  florins  were  owing  to  the 
College  from  the  Apostolic  pension,  besides  other  debts,  the  payment 
of  which  was  doubtful.  Several  calculations  follow,  with  the  final 
result  : — 

And  thus,  from  the  26th  of  October,  1641,  to  the  30th  of  April, 
1647,  the  College  gained  29,298  florins  19  stivers. 

But  it  was  a  work  of  such  magnitude  to  unravel  the  true  state 
of  this  College,  involved  and  swathed  in  so  many  debts,  that  some 
thing  may  happen  even  after  such  an  interval  of  years  to  disturb 
these  accounts. 

He  then  enters  into  lengthy  explanation  concerning  two  items 
on  the  accounts  which  subsequent  events  caused  to  be  questioned,  and 
another  amount  which  he  omitted  on  purpose.  The  final  upshot  was, 
however,  in  favour  of  the  College,  and  Mr.  Ireland  concludes  this  subject 
with  some  general  reflections  : — 

"  Finally,  it  seemed  good  to  insert  in  the  Diary  these  accounts 
rather  than  those  which  had  been  drawn  up  three  months  before 
the  death  of  the  former  President,  Mr.  Muscott,  or  those  which  were 
made  out  when  Dr.  Hyde,  the  present  President,  assumed  office. 
Because  in  these  the  Procurator,  as  being  about  to  resign  his  office, 
took  more  pains,  that,  having  been  taught  by  a  lengthy  experience, 
he  might  put  the  finishing  touch  to  these  as  being  the  latest.  And 
though  while  I  am  writing  this,  a  year  has  passed  since  these  accounts 
were  drawn  up,  nothing  else  (except  the  matters  which  have  been 
explained  above,  and  which  were  in  favour  of  the  College)  has  been 
met  with  which  needs  alteration,  though  the  new  Procurator  has 
meanwhile  diligently  discharged  his  duty,  and  from  day  to  day  raised 
questions  as  they  arose. 

The  remaining  entries  in  the  Diary  are  of  no  great  interest,  relating, 
as  they  do,  chiefly  to  the  admission  of  new  students,  and  matters  of 
domestic  concern  : — 

On  May  7th,  the  foundations  were  laid  of  a  new  brick  wall, 
extending  from  the  sacristy  to  the  brew-house,  the  first  stone  of 
which  was  laid  by  the  President. 

On  the  I2th  day  of  July  it  was  intimated  to  the  President  that 
two  decrees  had  been  published  by  the  Congregation  of  Propaganda 
to  modify  or  abolish  the  new  oath  which  had  been  sent  to  us  on 
April  23rd  in  the  previous  year.  One  of  these  was  made  in  the 
absence  of  His  Holiness  Innocence  X,  the  other  in  his  presence. 
Shortly  afterwards  both  were  brought  to  the  College, 

The  first  of  these  two  decrees,  which  related  only  to  the  English 
College  at  Douay,  was  dated  12  March,  1647,  and  modified  the  oath 
on  two  points.  The  second  decree,  dated  27  April,  1647,  altogether 
relieved  the  students  from  the  obligation  of  taking  the  new  oath. 

With  the  entry  of  three  new  boys  on  August  8th,  1647,  the  Fourth 
Diary  comes  to  a  close.

582  FIFTH    DOUAY    DIARY 

[151]  Catologus   Spectabiliorum   Sacerdotum 

qui  in  praesentiarum  reperiuntur  in 
Clero  Secular!  Angliae.* 

Pro  majori  hujusmodi  Catologi  illustratione  operae  praetium 
erit  observare. 

i°  Clerum  Angliae  secularem  in  duas  classes,  seu  ordines  dis- 
tinctum  esse,  quorum  alter  consistit  ex  sacerdotibus  capitularibus 
administrantibus  res  ad  iiniversinn  clerum  secularem  pertinentes  ; 
alter  vero  complectitur  sacerdotes  non  capitulares,  hoc  est,  omnes 
cos  et  singulos  ex  clero  seculari  sacerdotes,  qui  in  numerum  Capitu- 
larium  non  sunt  relati. 

2do  Capitulares  sacerdotes  (qui  solunt  esse  numero  viginti  sex 
vcl  circiter  uni  capiti  subordinati,  qui  Decanus  nuncupate)  partim 
constare  ex  Vicariis  Generalibus,  partim  ex  Archidiaconis,  partim 
ex  omcialibus,  et  partim  ex  simplicibus  sacerdotibus,  nullo  in 
administratione  rcrum  ad  clerum  spectantium  munere  fungentibus. 

3°  Reverendissimum  Dominum  Georgium  Berkettum  secundum 
Angliae  Archipresbiterum  a  Clemente  8°  B.  M.  P.  Max.  constitutum 
(cui  et  assignavit  idem  Clemens  12  Assistentes)  concilio  suorum 
assistentium  universum  Angliae  Regnum  in  12  provincias  divisisse, 
singulisque  assistentibus  singulas  Angliae  provincias  in  curam  ac 
titulum  commisisse,  quo  et  confusio  in  ecclesiastica  administratione 
vitari  possit,  et  nulla  esset  Regni  Provincia  cui  Pastoralis  curae 
diligentia  non  adhiberetur.  Hanc  disciplinae  formulam  secuti 
sunt  duo  Angliae  Episcopi  nempe  Gulielmus  et  Richardus  Chalce- 
donensis,  qui  comme[mo]rato  Berketto  in  regimine  cleri  secularis 
respective  successerunt  :  assignanmt  enim  (extincto  tamen  nomine 
Assistentium)  singulas  Angliae  provincias  vicariis  et  archidiaconis, 
idque  nunc  temporis  practicat  et  a  morte  defuncti  Richardi  Chalce- 
donensis  continuo  practicavit  Capitularium  Sacerdotum  Decanus, 
qui  et  omnes  facultates  extraordinarias,  quas  dictus  t  Episcopus 
a  Sua  Sanctitate  suppMcationis  in  effectum  exhibitione  obtinuerat, 
inconsulta  imo  forsan  non  opinante  eadem  Sua  Sanctitate  exercet. 
Ecclesia  Dei  non  habet  talem  consuetudinem. 

Nota.§  Primus  Angliae  Archipresbiter  fuit  quidam  ex  clero  secu 
lari  sacerdos,  cognomento  Blackwellus,  qui  ex  eo  quod  juramenti 
fidelitatis  (quod  multas  continet  propositiones  fidei  Catholicae 
noxias,  et  Sedis  Apostolicae  auctoritati  adversantes)  se  defensorem 
gereret,  a  Clemente  8°  depositus  fuit,  et  ejusdem  pontificis  optimi 
auctoritate  in  ipsius  locum  substitutus  fuit  Berkettus. 

s|e  This  document,  written  by  Dr.  George  Leyborne,  President  of  Douay  (1652 
1670),  formed  no  part  of  the  original  Diary,  but  was  inserted  (subsequently  to  the 
binding  of  the  Fourth  and  Fifth  Diaries  in  one  volume)  between  folios  179  and  180. 
It  bears  separate  pagination  (151-156),  and  thus  originally  formed  part  of  some  other 
collection.  On  internal  evidence  it  was  written  between  July  1667  and  July  1668.

tioni  apposuisse.  His  praemissis  de  spectabilioribus  utriusque 
classis  seu  ordinis  commemorati  Personis  sigillatim  agere  requirit 
Catologi  nostri  ratio,  et  quoad  spectabiliores  prioris  classis  sacerdotes. 

i°  Recensetur  Dominus  Humfredus  Warine  alias  mentito 
cognomine  Ellicens,  utpote  Sacerdotum  Capitularium  Decanum 
se  gerens.  Hunc  apprime  novit  Prseses  Collegii  Pontincis  Duaci 
ex  quo  ex  ephaebis  egressus  est.  Fuit  in  eodem  Collegio  nutritus 
et  educatus,  spatio  circiter  quinque  annorum,  sed  completis  philo 
sophise  studiis  ad  Collegium  Anglo-Ulysipponense  recens  erectum 
simul  cum  aliis  scholaribus  ejusdem  Pontificii  Collegii  tanquam  ad 
novam  coloniam  traductus  fuit,  ubi  in  Prseceptorem  Theologiae 
habuit  Albium,  alias  mentito  cognomine  Blackloum,  peregrinarum 
et  perniciosarum  doctrinarum  auctorem  ;  expleto  vero  Theologiae 
cursu  commemoratus  Humfredus  Warine,  Philosophiam  in  eodem 
Collegio  docuit,  posteaque  Theologian! :  tandem  decem  abhinc 
annis  scilicet,  ab  Albio  Albii  Partiariis  in  capitularium  sacerdotum 
Decanum  electus  fuit,  turn  ex  eo  quod  esset  erga  istam  factionem 
bene  affectus,  cum  quod  esset  cereae  et  tenerae  naturae,  quae  in 
quamlibet  quasi  partem  flecti  possit.  Hunc  cum  Praeses  Collegii 
Duaci  (missus  in  Angliam  ab  Illustrissimo  de  Vechiis  Internuncio 
Bruxellensi)  sciscitaretur,  cur  facultates  defuncti  Episcopi  extra- 
ordinarias  exercere  aliisque  concedere  auderet,  non  obtenta  prius 
licentia  a  Sua  Sanctitate  :  *  respondet  bonus  Decanus  id  sumcere 
quod  eadem  Sua  Sanctitas  taceat  juxta  illud  qui  tacet  consentire 
videtur  ;  item  cum  idem  Praeses  sciscitabatur  eum  (fuerat  Praesidi 
valde  charus)  cur  non  vellet  morem  gerere  Suae  Sar.ctitatis  decretis, 
pro  quibus  tuendis  quadraginta  super  centum  martyres  (omnes 
Collegii  Pontificii  alumni  in  quo  et  ipse  Pontificius  Alumnus  factus 
fuit)  sui  sanguinis  effusione  gloriosam  mortem  subierunt.  Ad 
quod  replicuit  bonus  Decanus  se  aliosque  Capitulares  statutum 
habere  vivere  deinceps  more  Ecclesiae  Gallicanae.  Commemoratus 
Decanus  Londini  degit,  annos  habens  58  vel  circiter,  ortus  honestis 
parentibus  ex  minori  nobilitate. 

2do  Dominus  Gulielmus  Clifford  ex  antiquis  Baronibus  Cliffordiae 
ortus,  sacerdos  sane  vitae  exemplaris,  nunc  vero  senio  fractus  vix 
e  lecto  surgit,  semper  fuit  affectus  erga  Albium  ejusque  Capitulares 
arnicos,  quamvis  peregrinas  ejusdem  Albii  doctrinas  nunquam 
amplexatus  fuerit  nunquam  induci  potuit  ut  publicis  Cleri  rebus 
se  immisceret.  Vir  sane  bonus  et  cordatus  sed  in  literis  humani- 
oribus  et  sublimioribus  doctrinis  parum  versatus  ;  Parisiis  degit. 

3°  Thomas  Albius  alias  mentito  cognomine  Blacklous  hie  satis 
superque  Pontifici  notus  totique  Curiae  Romanae  inter  capitulares 
sacerdotes  post  Decanum,  principem  locum  obtinet,  et  ad  instar 
oraculi  ab  illis  habetur,  qui  nunc  temporis  neque  judicio  neque 
memoria  pollet.  Londini  degit  malus  senex.

4°  Dominus  Thomas  Carr,  hie  multorum  annorum  spatio  a  con- 
fessionibus  fuit  monialibus  Anglis  Ordinis  Stl  Augustini  Parish's 
habitantibus,  60  duos  annos  vel  circiter  habet,  hacque  tempestate 
paralysi  et  aliis  corporis  infirmitatibus  laborat.  Hie  simul  cum 
Henrico  Holdeno  sacerdoti  capitular!,  et  doctore  Parisiensi,  et  jam 
defuncto  peregrinas  et  perniciosas  [152]  Albii  doctrinas  mordicus 
semper  defendit,  et  Jansenismum  pro  modulo  suo  promovit,  adeo 
ut  proprium  nepotem  quern  Praeses  Collegii  Pontificii  Duaci  ad 
sacrum  presbiteratus  ordinem  evexerat,  inopia  rei  familiaris  laboran- 
tem  adjuvare  recusaret  ex  eo  quod  Jansenii  opiniones  abhorreret, 
uti  narravit  eidem  Praesidi  ipsemet  nepos.  Commemoratus  Dominus 
Carr  honestis  non  nobilibus  parentibus  ortus,  parum  doctus  et 
inultum  in  ssecularibus  negotiis  versatus,  nimquam  mission i  Angli- 
canae  incubuit. 

5°  Dominus  Henricus  Turbervill  Archidiaconus  est,  et  communiter 
Londini  habitat  in  domo  Marchionis  Wintoniensis,  ab  aliquot  annis 
poene  caecus  fuit  oculorum  organo  valde  laeso,  et  hactenus  imbecilli- 
tate  videndi  laborat.  Est  vitae  exemplaris,  et  multum  versatus 
in  Theologia  Polemica  ;  Apud  decanum  aliosque  capitulares  sacer- 
dotes  tantae  est  autoritatis,  ut  sese  ipsius  judicio  in  omnibus  fere 
consultationibus  submittere  soleant.  Hunc  Praeses  Collegii  Duaci 
in  eodem  Collegio  educatum  et  novit  et  valde  amavit,  juvenem 
scilicet  bonae  indolis  et  magnae  spei :  sed  dolendum  quocl  in  toto 
clero  seculari  nullus  ipso  magis  periculosis  Albii  doctrinis  infectus 
est :  praeterea  juramenti  (quod  vulgo  dicitur  juramentum  fidelitatis) 
ubi  multa  turn  fidei  Catholicae,  turn  auctoritati  Romanae  Ecclesiae 
inimica  continentur)  defensorem  se  gerit.  Hie  et  Albius  minim 
in  modum  Clero  Anglicano  a  morte  Episcopi  Richard!  Chalcedonen- 
sis  moverunt.  Annos  habet  circiter  60,  nunquam  docuit  vel  Philoso- 
phiam  et  Theologiam,  est  autem  acri  ingenio,  honestis  parentibus 
oriundus. 

6°  Dominus  Joannes  Lassells  alias  Bolds,  hunc  probe  novit 
Praeses  Collegii  Duaceni,  ubi  humaniores  literas  docuit ;  annos  habet 
58  vel  circiter,  et  valde  nobili  familia  licet  pauperima  [153]  oriundus, 
pie  et  exemplariter  semper  se  gessit,  et  quamvis  Albii  discipulus 
fuerit  nunquam  tamen  exterius  apparuit  profanis  ipsius  favere 
novitatibus  :  et  quoad  factiones  in  clero  occasione  Albii  exortas, 
quasi  neutraliter  se  tenuit  neque  calidtis  fuit  neque  frigidus  :  factus 
tamen  fuit  a  Decano  Capitularium  Sacerdotum  Archidiaconus 
Norfolciae  et  alterius  comitatus  quamvis  sciverit  vel  scire  debuerit 
dignitates  ecclesiasticas  absque  Sedes  Apostolicae  auctoritate, 
secundum  Canones  non  esse  conferendas.  Utcunque  autem  hoc  sit 
Praeses  Collegii  Pontificii  audet  pro  ipso  spondere  quod  si  consti- 
tuatur  Superior  Cleri  Anglican!,  vel  Praeses  ejusdem  Collegii  semper 
morem  geret  Suae  Sanctitatis  voluntati.  Parum  vel  nihil  ex  quo 
in  Sacerdotem  consecratus  est  in  Missione  Anglican  a  laboravit, 
semper  curam  gerens  juvenum  nobilium  et  natu  maximorum, 
qui  educationis  gratia  in  externas  regiones  profecti  sunt,  et  proinde 
ejus  conversatio  maxima  fuit  in  Gallia,  et  aliqualiter  in  Italia,  ubi

barinus,  Angliae  Protector :  nunc  vero  Parisiis  degit  curam  habens 
nobiKssimi  Domini  Baronis  de  Lumley. 

7°  Dominus  Joannes  Leyburnus  ex  antiquis  Leyburnorum  Baroni- 
bus  ortus,  est  nepos  Praesidis  Pontificii  Collegii  Duaci ;  hujus  con- 
versatio  et  commoratio  fere  semper  fuit  in  Gallia,  ejus  enim  curse 
commiserat  Illustrissimus  Vice-comes  Montis  Acuti  filium  suum 
natu  maximum,  qui  durantibus  turbis  contra  Regem  a  Parliamento 
excitatis,  nunc  in  una,  nunc  in  alia  Galliae  provincia  commoratus 
est,  tandem  Romam  profectus  quasi  tot  am  Italiam  peragravit : 
habet  annos  44,  magnis  a  natura  dotibus  instructus,  Anglice,  Latine 
et  Gallice  eleganter  scribit,  optimae  indolis  et  vitse  valde  exemplaris. 
*Judicio  tamen  patrui  sui  qui  nunc  temporis  praesidet  Collegio

curae  commissos  duos  nobiles  et  natu  maximos.  Ex  nobili  familia 
oriundus,  sufficienti  doctrina  imbutus  et  quoad  dissensiones  quas 
peperit  Albii  doctrina  in  Anglia  valde  politice  se  gerit ;  nullum 
habens  patrimonium,  cujus  carentia  reddit  multos  plures  ex  Clero 
Seculari  sacerdotes  non  audentes  palam  condemnare  novitates  quas 
animo  odio  habent,  ne  elemosinis  careant  quae  capitularibus  sacer- 
dotibus  distribuendae  datae  sunt  ;  annos  habet  quadraginta.

§  Pro  eo  quo  praeditus  est  zelo  erga  factionem  adversus  Praesidem 
Duacenum  existentem.  Hunc  bene  novit  idem  Praeses ;  fuit  enim 
educatus  in  praedicto  Collegio,  nullius  spei  juvenis,  ne  quidem 
idoneus  ad  docenda  Grammaticae  rudimenta.  Degit  in  comitatu

ejus  nomine  in  lucem  veniunt  plena  prof  an  is  novitatibus,  nunc 
temporis  autem  quia  male  audit  apud  multos  Catholicos,  ejus  opera

haereticis,  educatus  Cantabrigiae,  unde  commendatus  fuit  loco 
amanuensis  Pseudo-Episcopo  Dunelmensi,  qui  Catholicos  niiris 
modis  insectabatur.  Mortuo  vero  Pseudo-Episcopo  sub  initio

gratis  admitteretur,  ubi  in  theologia  magistrum  habuit  Dominum 
Humfredum  Warine,  Capitularium  Sacerdotum  Decanum.  Hie 
bonus  Arcliidiaconus  actuosus  et  activus  est  quoad  negocia  forensia, 
et  aliis  sacerdotibus  capitularibus  in  subtilitate  longe  excellit  sicut 
in  zelo  erga  Albium,  quamvis  minus  sufficiens  est  ad  ejusdem  Albii 
opiniones  comprehendendas,  vir  scilicet  parum  doctus,  vita  tamen 
exemplaris ;  habitat  in  domo  nobilis  Domini  et  equitis  aurati

donensis  ejusdem  comitatus  Archidiaconum  creaverat.  Praeses 
Collegii  Pontificii  Duaci  hunc  non  novit,  audivit  tamen  a  sacer 
dotibus  in  praefato  comitatu  commorantibus  eum  esse  juvenem  nulla 
nobilitate  fulgentem  et  nobilibus,  piis,  doctis  et  antiquioribus  sacer

the  title  "  Notes  for  a  Diary,"  begins  with  a  biographical  account  of 
Dr.  William  Hyde,  vere  Bayaert,  who  became  President  in  1646.  This 
is  followed  by  notes  of  events  which  have  already  been  recorded  in  the 
Fourth  Diary.  The  result  is  that  the  two  overlap  until  August,  1647, 
when  the  Fourth  Diary  stops. 

The  biographical  notice  of  the  President  runs  as  follows  : — 

William  Hyde,  whose  true  name  is  Bayaert,  was  born  at  London 
on  March  27th,  in  the  year  of  Our  Lord  1597.  For  three  years  he 
studied  humanities  at  Leyden,  and  then  returning,  he  was  sent  to 
Oxford,  where,  becoming  commoner  in  the  College  called  Christ 
Church,  and  afterwards  a  Master  of  Arts,  he  devoted  himself  to 
the  study  of  controversy  for  four  years.  At  length,  by  reading 
Catholic  books,  he  was  convinced  of  the  falsity  of  the  Protestant 
religion,  chiefly  from  the  motive  that  he  thought  it  plainly  necessary 
to  have  some  certain  and  infallible  rule  of  faith,  and  this  he  could 
not  find  anywhere  save  in  the  Catholic  Church.  Afterwards  he  was 
reconciled  to  the  Roman  Church. 

In  the  year  of  our  Lord  1623.  he  was  admitted  on  Jan.  6th  to 
the  English  College  at  Douay,  and  there  under  the  supervision  of 
Mr.  Mark  Drury,  he  defended  all  logic  and  philosophy.  In  the  third 
year  of  his  theology  he  was  called  upon  to  teach  philosophy,  and  he 
taught  two  whole  courses  of  philosophy  by  himself.  When  the 
second  course  was  finished,  he  left  the  College  for  the  English  Mission 
on  June  3  in  the  year  of  Our  Lord  1631,  being  accredited  with  the 
ordinary  faculties.  For  one  year  he  lived  with  Mr.  Preston,  of 
"  The  Manor/'  whom  he  left  on  the  advice  of  Dr.  Kellison  and  his 
superiors  at  London  ;  he  then  passed  another  year  with  Lord 
Mont  eagle. 

Being  recalled  from  England  in  the  year  1633  by  -Dr.  Kellison, 
the  President,  he  taught  theology  for  three  years,  but  when  the 
plague  attacked  the  College  he  returned  to  England,  where  for 
another  three  years  he  resided  with  Sir  Walter  Blount.  Then  he 
was  appointed  Archdeacon  of  the  counties  of  Worcester  and  Salop 
by  the  Bishop  of  Chalcedon.  Latterly  he  lived  with  Mr.  Humphrey 
Weld. 

On  Sept.  i,  1641,  he  was  appointed  Vice-President  of  the  College 
by  Mr.  George  Muscott,  the  President,  and  he  was  sent  to  the  College 
with  presidential  powers  during  the  absence  of  the  said  Mr.  Muscott. 
He  discharged  the  office  of  Vice-President  for  five  years,  during 
which  time  he  furnished  always  two  courses  of  lectures  to  the  students 
in  theology ;  that  is,  he  gave  one  every  year,  and  the  other  he 
dictated,  and  in  both  he  presided. 


542  FIFTH     DOUAY     DIARY  1646-49 

On  Sept.  27,  1646,  the  aforesaid  William  Hyde  received 
notice  from  the  most  eminent  Cardinal  Capponi,  Protector  of 
England,  that  he  had  been  appointed  President  of  the  College. 
On  the  28th,  the  said  letters  were  reaa  to  the  assembled  alumni 
and  students,  and  after  a  short  address,  the  President  assumed 
office. 

There  is  little  recorded  during  the  first  year  of  his  presidency, 
especially  as  the  Fourth  Diary  and  this  overlap  for  this  period  in  the 
manner  already  explained.  He  received  permission  from  the  Cardinal 
Protector  in  February,  1647,  to  take  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity, 
and  passed  through  the  ordinary  course,  matriculation,  baccalaureate, 
licentiate,  performing  his  disputations  for  the  doctorate,  which  degree 
he  received  on  October  25th.  The  Rev.  William  Hamerton  arrived 
at  the  College  on  April  2Tst,  1647,  to  take  over  the  duties  of  procurator  ; 
and  by  the  end  of  this  year  it  is  recorded  that  6,903  florins  and  2  stivers 
of  the  old  debt  on  the  College  had  been  paid  oif. 

The  ordination  of  the  following  priests  is  recorded  in  1647  '•— 

March.     Edward  Barker,  alias  Vernalty,  at  Bac-St.  Maur. 
John  Jousy, 

1648. 

A  distinguished  convert,  Thomas  Read,  arrived  from  Paris  on 
March  6th,  seeking  admission  to  the  College.  He  was  a  Doctor  of 
Civil  Law,  an  advocate  in  the  Archiepiscopal  Courts,  and  had  spent 
twenty -eight  years  in  Oxford,  where  he  had  been  President  of  Magdalen 

Permanent  arrangements  were  made  by  the  President  in  June  with 
regard  to  Masses  being  offered  for  benefactors.  One  Mass  was  to  be 
offered  for  every  ten  florins  given  unconditionally  to  the  College,  and 
Mass  was  to  be  said  at  a  privileged  altar  every  Monday  for  the  souls 
of  deceased  benefactors. 

The  institution  of  a  French  class  with  Walric  Remington  as  the  first 
master  is  recorded  on  June  23rd. 

During  the  year  the  ordination  of  the  following  priests  is  recorded  : — 
December.  John  Copland,  alias  Street. 

Andrew  Skinner,  alias  Bentley. 

The  death  of  Michael  Constable  from  smallpox  is  recorded  on 
October  3rd. 

1649. 

The  entry  for  June  2nd  records  the  election  of  the  President  to  be 
Regius  Professor  of  History  in  the  University,  though  he  only  received 
royal  letters  from  Brussels  confirming  his  election  on  December  27th. 

Amongst  matters  in  the  College  itself,  we  may  note  on  July  25th  the 
beginning  of  the  custom  of  ringing  the  Angelus  bell.  The  "  affictiones" 
mentioned  in  the  entry  for  May  3oth  and  elsewhere  seem  to  have  been 
a  scholastic  exercise  for  the  class  of  poetry.  Latin  and  Greek  poems 
were  composed  and  written  out  by  the  scholars,  usually  on  the  feast  of 
St.  Augustine,  and  were  then  '  affixed  '  to  the  walls  of  the  school  for 
public  inspection. 

Payments  continue  to  be  made  towards  the  reduction  of  the  College 
debt,  4,594  florins  and  12  stivers  having  been  paid  off  during  1648,  and 
2,904  florins  16  stivers  for  this  year. 

The  ordination  of  Thomas  Read  to  the  priesthood  at  Tournay  is 
recorded  as  having  taken  place  on  April  6th. 


1650-51  FIFTH   DOUAY   DIARY  543 

1650. 

The  President  began  his  public  lectures  as  Professor  of  History, 
taking  as  his  subject  the  works  of  Baronius.  He  was  admitted  to  the 
Council  of  the  University  in  January;  and  when  on  March  2oth,  Charles  II, 
the  fugitive  King  of  England,  paid  a  visit  to  Douay,  he  ordered  the 
President  to  give  thanks  in  the  King's  name  to  the  Rector  Magnificus 
and  the  University  for  the  display  and  entertainment  given  in  his  honour. 
Latin  and  English  addresses  were  also  presented  to  the  King  by  the 
President  in  the  name  of  the  College. 

The  arrival  of  Dr.  Edward  Daniel  at  the  College,  on  June  iQth,  is 
worthy  of  note.  He  had  been  President  of  the  English  College  at 
Lisbon  for  six  years,  and  now  came  to  Douay  as  professor  of  theology 
and  ordinary  confessor. 

Among  the  arrivals  was  a  new  student,  who  had  already  suffered 
imprisonment  for  the  Faith  : — 

Richard  Nichols,  then  a  deacon,  came  from  Paris  to  the 
College  on  October  26th,  in  order  to  be  ordained  priest.  Edu 
cated  at  Peterhouse,  Cambridge,  he  had  been  converted  through  his 
study  of  the  writings  of  the  Fathers  and  of  controversialists,  and 
had  been  imprisoned  at  Cambridge.  When  set  free,  he  had  gone 
to  London,  where  he  had  been  three  or  four  times  imprisoned  by 
order  of  Parliament,  and  finally  being  set  at  liberty  through  the 
influence  of  the  Count  Egmont,  he  had  gone  to  France,  and  abjured 
his  heresy  before  the  Apostolic  Nuncio  at  Paris. 

During  the  year  the  ordination  of  the  following  priests  is  recorded  : — 
December.     Richard  Nicols,  at  Tournay. 

Robert  Tolson,  alias  Brathwait, 
Francis  Rider. 

The  death  of  George  Berry,  an  Englishman,  formerly  cook,  is  recorded 
on  July  loth. 

1651. 

On  March  ist,  the  President  received  a  letter  from  the  Privy  Council, 
commanding  him  to  go  to  Brussels,  and  there  consult  the  Secretary  for 
War,  who  would  give  him  directions  as  to  what  he  was  to  do.  He 
returned  from  Brussels  on  the  24th,  having  been  told  by  the  Secretary 
to  consult  with  the  Bishop  of  Chalcedon  on  the  matter  of  withdrawing 
the  Rev.  George  Gage  from  the  cause  of  the  King  of  Portugal,  and  for 
the  future  to  have  no  communication  by  letter  with  him. 

On  September  2nd  occurs  the  first  notice  of  the  President's  illness.   He 

"  begins  to  suffer  from  colic  and  afterwards  from  stone,  and  from 
this  time  his  disease  increased  gradually  till  his  death." 

Three  doctors  were  summoned  on  October  i2th,  and  held  a  consulta 
tion. 

On  Dec.  i8th, 

"  he  made  his  will,  and  left  the  College  heir  to  all  his  possessions, 
after  the  payment  of  funeral  expenses  and  legacies  as  expressed 
in  the  will.  He  left  to  the  College,  in  monies  here  and  in  England, 
9,842  florins  18  stivers." 

William  Hamerton,  the  Procurator  and  writer  of  the  Diary,  was 
made  executor,  with  instructions  to  hand  everything  over  to  the  new 


544  t-'IFTH     DOUAY     DIARY  1651-53 

President.  Dr.  Hyde  left  his  library  for  the  use  of  the  coming  President. 
He  died  on  December  22nd,  and  was  buried  at  the  church  of  St.  James, 
in  the  Chapel  of  the  Blessed  Virgin,  on  December  the  24th. 

Difficulties  at  once  arose  with  the  University  authorities  in  connection 
with  the  late  President's  property.  On  the  day  of  his  death,  three 
University  officials  came  to  seal  up  all  his  boxes,  chests,  and  possessions; 
Mr.  Hamerton  undertook  to  carry  out  the  provisions  of  the  will  on  the 
26th  ;  and  on  the  2yth,  the  officials  returned  to  make  an  inventory 
of  all  the  property,  demanding  a  payment  of  153  florins  for  their  labours. 

No  ordination  to  the  priesthood  is  recorded  this  year. 

1652. 

The  University  officials  returned  on  January  i4th,  bringing  a 
small  paper,  without  signature  or  any  authority,  demanding  payment 
of  the  sum  due  to  them.  The  executor  asked  for  further  particulars, 
as  he  himself  would  have  to  furnish  them  to  the  incoming  President. 

On  Feb.  8th,  a  letter  was  received  from  the  superiors  of  the  English 
Clergy,  asking  Dr.  Daniel  to  take  the  place  of  President  until  an  appoint 
ment  was  made  by  the  Pope.  Further  troubles  occur  with  the  University 
officials  in  February  and  March.  They  bring  a  detailed  list  of  their 
charges  written  so  badly  on  cheap  paper  as  to  be  illegible,  and  with  no 
names  undersigned.  A  few  days  later  they  return  with  the  list  written 
out  neatly  and  fully  in  proper  order,  and  the  executor  asks  for  a  few 
days'  grace  to  procure  the  necessary  money.  But  this  they  resented 
so  much  that  men  were  sent  the  same  evening  to  extort  the  money  by 
lorce,  with  orders  not  to  leave  the  house  before  securing  the  money. 
However,  the  Rector  of  the  University  recalled  them,  declaring  to  Dr. 
Daniel  that  the  whole  procedure  had  taken  place  without  his  knowledge. 

The  executor  then  drew  up  an  appeal  to  the  Apostolic  Nuncio  at 
Brussels,  and  the  officials  answered,  on  March  5th,  by  threatening  to 
throw  him  into  prison.  This  led  him  to  set  off  for  Brussels  to  ask  for 
royal  protection  for  himself  and  the  College  against  any  violent  action 
on  the  part  of  the  University.  He  was  quite  successful,  and  the  entry 
for  April  i6th  gives  a  French  letter  from  the  Privy  Council,  instructing 
the  University  to  send  a  full  account  of  the  case  to  Brussels,  and  to 
take  no  action  at  all  till  the  matter  be  decided.  During  the  absence 
of  Mr.  Hamerton,  a  prohibition  had  arrived  from  Brussels  forbidding 
the  University  to  take  any  action  against  Hamerton  or  the  College, 
'  pendente  lite,'  under  penalty  of  100  ducats  and  of  excommunication. 
And  the;  ingenious  move  in  answer  to  this  was  a  summons  to  the  College 
on  April  2nd,  to  have  all  their  students  matriculated  within  three  days 
under  penalty  of  8  florins  for  each  student. 

The  new  President,  the  Rev.  George  Ley  borne,  received  notice  of 
his  appointment  from  Cardinal  Barberini,  Protector  of  England,  on 
July  2oth,  and  came  to  the  College  on  December  3oth. 

No  one  could  be  presented  for  ordination  during  this  year  owing 
to  the  vacancy  in  the  presidentship. 

The  death  of  William  Craftes,  door-keeper,  is  recorded  on  March  nth. 


When  the  accounts  were  made  up  and  rendered  to  the  new  President, 
it  was  clear  that  during  the  six  years'  presidency  of  Dr.  Hyde,  the  estate 
of  the  College  had  been  increased  by  forty-two  thousand  two  hundred 
and  seventy-nine  florins. 

Another  quarrel  arose  with  the  University  authorities  through  the 
professors  of  tUe  College  refusing  to  appear  before  the  Rector,  and  take 


1658-54  FIFTH     DOUAY     DIARY  54.*) 

an  oath  not  to  teach  anything  contrary  to  faith.  The  matter  was 
referred  to  Brussels,  but  though  the  President  made  a  journey  thither 
in  May,  we  are  not  told  how  it  was  settled.  The  year  was  a  quiet  but 
busy  one,  arrears  in  ordinations  being  made  up,  and  many  priests 
leaving  the  College  for  England. 

During  the  year  the  ordination  of  the  following  priests  is  recorded  :- 
March  12.  Edward  Whall,  alias  Robinson,    at  Cambrai. 
Thomas  Rowdon,  alias  Feasby, 
Thomas  Churchhil,  alias  Dunham, 
Edward  Kynne,  alias  Collington, 
Henry  Vere, 
Matthew  Chamber, 
Robert  Chamber, 

June    12.     John  Richardson,  alias  Wats, 

Sept.   20.     Richard  Russell,  at  Valenciennes. 

The  death  is  recorded  of  Anthony  Bloomer,  alias  Greene,  of  the 
School  of  Poetry,  on  July  3ist. 

1654. 

The  Diary  ends  on  April  25th  with  the  appointment  of  the  Rev. 
Robert  Tolson  as  procurator  in  place  of  the  Rev.  William  Hamerton, 
the  writer  of  this  Diary. 

The  following  priests  were  ordained  during  these  months  : — 
March    i.     John  Morgan,  at  Cambrai. 

Charles  Newport,  alias  Gcnings, 

There  follows  a  list  of  martyrs  transcribed  from  the  well-known 
catalogue  of  Raissius. 

Next  comes  the  document  which  has  already  been  described  in  the 
note  appended  to  the  Latin  text.  As  there  stated,  it  originally  formed 
no  part  of  the  Diary,  but  its  intrinsic  interest  is  so  considerable  that  it 
is  here  translated  in  full. 

A  LIST  OF  THE   MORE   NOTEWORTHY   PRIESTS 

WHO   ARE   TO   BE   FOUND   AT  PRESENT  AMONG   THE 

ENGLISH  SECULAR  CLERGY. 

For  the  better  understanding  of  this  list,  it  will  be  well  to  observe  : 

i°  That  the  Secular  Clergy  of  England  is  divided  into  two 
classes  or  orders,  of  which  the  first  consists  of  capitular  priests 
who  administer  affairs  belonging  to  the  whole  secular  clergy  ;  and 
the  second  embraces  the  non-capitular  priests,  i.e.  all  those  priests 
of  the  secular  clergy  who  are  not  among  the  number  of  the  capitulars. 

2°  The  capitular  priests  (who  are  usually  twenty-six  or  there 
abouts  in  number,  under  one  head,  who  is  called  the  Dean)  consist 
of  Vicars-General,  Archdeacons,  and  officials,  and  also  of  simple 
priests  who  take  no  part  in  the  administration  of  the  affairs  of  the 
clergy. 

*3°  That  the  Very  Reverend  George  Berkett  was  appointed 
second  Archpriest  of  England  by  Pope  Clement  VIII  of  happy 

jfc  Opposite  this  third  observation,  in  the  margin,  is  placed  the  following  note  : 
"The  first  Archpriest  of  England  was  a  priest  of  the  secular  clergy,  named  Black- 
well,  who  was  deposed  by  Clement  VIII  because  he  constituted  himself  defender 
of  the  oath  of  allegiance,  which  contains  many  propositions  contrary  to  Catholic 
faith  and  the  authority  of  the  Apostolic  Sec  ;  and  by  the  authority  of  the  same 
Pontiff,  Berkett  was  put  in  his  place. 


•'(;  FIFTH     DOUAY     DIARY 

memory,  and  that  the  same  Pope  assigned  to  him  twelve  assistants. 
He  with  his  council  of  twelve  assistants  divided  the  whole  kingdom 
of  England  into  twelve  provinces,  and  committed  to  each  of  the  assis 
tants  the  care  of  a  province  and  the  title  thereof,  so  that  confusion 
in  ecclesiastical  administration  might  be  avoided,  and  no  province 
of  the  kingdom  might  be  deprived  of  pastoral  care.  This  disciplin 
ary  arrangement  was  followed  by  the  two  bishops  of  England,  William 
and  Richard  of  Chalcedon,  who  succeeded  Berkett  in  turn  as  rulers 
of  the  secular  clergy.  For  they  assigned  the  separate  provinces 
of  England  (though  the  name  of  assistants  was  discontinued)  to 
Vicars  and  Archdeacons  ;  and  the  practice  obtains  now,  and  ever 
since  the  death  of  Richard  [Bishop]  of  Chalcedon,  the  dean  of  the 
Capitular  priests  has  continued  it,  and  exercises  all  the  extraordinary 
faculties  which  the  said  bishop  obtained  from  His  Holiness  by  a 
petition  to  that  effect,  though  he  does  it  without  consulting  His 
Holiness,  and  perhaps  against  his  wish  ;  for  the  Church  of  God  has 
no  such  custom. 

4°  The  present  Dean  and  his  Capitulars,  with  a  few  exceptions, 
have  approved  by  their  votes  of  a  new  oath  devised  by  an  Irish 
Recollect  (whose  name  is  Welch),  to  the  great  harm  of  Catholics, 
and  have  affixed  the  Capitular  seal  to  their  approval.  With  this 
introduction,  the  purpose  of  our  list  now  demands  that  the  more 
noteworthy  men  of  each  class  should  be  considered  separately. 

And  among  the  more  noteworthy  priests  of  the  first  class  is 
reckoned  Mr.  Humphrey  Warine,*  known  also  by  the  assumed  name 
of  Ellice,  who  is  the  Dean  of  the  Capitular  priests.  The  President 
of  the  Pontifical  College  of  Douay  has  known  him  well  from  his 
youth.  He  was  brought  up  and  educated  in  the  same  College  for 
about  five  years,  but  after  completing  his  philosophical  studies, 
was  sent  with  other  scholars  of  the  same  College  to  the  recently- 
erected  English  College  at  Lisbon  as  to  a  new  foundation.  There, 
as  his  professor  of  Theology,  he  had  White,  known  also  by  the  assumed 
name  of  Blacklow,  the  author  of  strange  and  harmful  teachings. 
At  the  end  of  his  Theological  course,  Humphrey  Warine  taught 
philosophy  at  Lisbon,  and  afterwards  Theology.  At  length,  ten 
years  ago,  he  was  chosen  by  White  and  his  partisans  as  Dean  of  the 
Capitular  priests,  both  because  he  was  well-disposed  towards  this 
party,  and  because  his  was  a  pliable,  easy  nature  which  could  be 
bent  in  any  direction. 

When  the  President  of  the  College  of  Douay  (sent  to  England 
by  the  Illustrious  Internuncio  at  Brussels,  de  Vechiis)  asked  him 
why  he  dared  to  exercise  and  to  grant  to  others  the  extraordinary 
faculties  of  the  deceased  bishop,  without  first  obtaining  leave  from 
His  Holiness,  the  good  Dean  answered,  that  it  was  quite  sufficient 
that  His  Holiness  was  silent,  according  to  the  principle  that  silence 
means  consent.  And  again  the  same  President  asked  him  (he  had 
been  a  close  friend  of  the  President)  why  he  was  unwilling  to  comply 
with  the  decrees  of  His  Holiness,  for  the  keeping  of  which  decrees 

calls  him  Waring. 


FIFTH     DOUAY     DIARY  547 

one  hundred  and  forty  martyrs  (all  students  of  the  same  College  as 
himself)  had  shed  their  blood,  and  undergone  a  glorious  death.  And 
the  good  Dean  answered  to  this  that  he  and  the  other  Capitulars 
had  made  up  their  minds  to  live  for  the  future  according  to  the 
customs  of  the  Gallican  Church.  The  said  Dean  lives  in  London, 
is  about  fifty-eight  years  of  age,  born  of  respectable  parents  of  good 
position.* 

2°  Mr.  William  Clifford  sprung  from  the  ancient  Barons  Clifford. 
He  is  a  priest  of  undoubtedly  exemplary  life,  who  is  now  broken 
down  by  age,  and  scarcely  rises  from  his  bed.  He  has  always  been 
well-disposed  towards  White  and  his  Capitular  friends,  although  he 
has  never  accepted  the  strange  doctrines  of  the  said  White.  He 
has  never  been  persuaded  to  mix  in  the  public  affairs  of  the  Clergy. 
A  man  of  virtue  and  prudence,  but  not  well  versed  in  humanities 
or  higher  learning.  He  lives  at  Paris. 

3°  Thomas  White,  who  goes  by  the  assumed  name  of  Blacklow, 
known  sufficiently  and  more  than  that  to  the  Pope  and  the  whole 
Roman  Court,  holds  the  principal  place  among  the  Capitular  priests 
after  the  Dean,  and  is  looked  on  by  them  as  an  oracle,  though 
now  he  is  gifted  neither  with  judgment  nor  memory.  The  wicked 
old  man  lives  in  London. 

4°  Mr.  Thomas  Carr,  for  many  years  was  confessor  to  the  English 
Augustinian  nuns  at  Paris.  He  is  about  sixty-two  years  of  age, 
and  suffers  from  paralysis  and  other  bodily  ailments.  He,  with 
Henry  Holden,  a  Capitular  priest  and  Doctor  of  Paris,  now  dead, 
always  strongly  upheld  the  strange  and  harmful  doctrines  of  White, 
and  to  the  best  of  his  power  promoted  Jansenism.  So  much  so  that 
he  refused  to  help  his  own  nephew,  whom  the  President  of  Douay 
had  presented  for  the  priesthood,  and  who  was  in  want,  because  the 
nephew  hated  the  doctrines  of  Jansenius,  as  the  President  has 
heard  from  the  nephew  himself.  The  said  Mr.  Carr,  born  of  respect 
able  parents,  of  little  learning,  and  much  occupied  in  secular  business, 
has  never  worked  on  the  English  Mission. 

5°  Mr.  Henry  Turbervill  is  Archdeacon,  and  usually  lives  in 
London  in  the  house  of  the  Marquess  of  Winchester.  For  some  years 
he  was  nearly  blind,  his  eye  being  badly  injured,  and  even  now  he 
suffers  from  dimness  of  sight.  His  life  is  exemplary,  and  he  is  well 
versed  in  controversial  theology.  With  the  Dean  and  the  other 
Capitular  priests,  he  has  such  weight  that  they  submit  to  his  opinion 
in  nearly  all  consultations.  He  was  known  to  and  much  liked  by 
the  President  of  Douay,  both  being  educated  in  the  same  College, 
he  being  then  a  well-disposed  youth  of  great  promise.  But  it  is  to 
be  regretted  that  no  one  of  all  the  secular  clergy  is  more  infected 
with  the  dangerous  teachings  of  White  ;  and  he  constitutes  himself 
defender  of  the  oath,  commonly  known  as  the  oath  of  allegiance, 
in  which  are  contained  many  things  contrary  to  Catholic  Faith 
and  the  authority  of  the  Roman  Church.  He  and  White  have  had 

*  Honestis   parentibus  ex  minori   nobilitate.     A'obilis   is   used    not   only  of  the 
nobility,  but  of  the  county  families  and  landed  gentry.

wonderful  influence  with  the  English  clergy  since  the  death  of 
Bishop  Richard  of  Chalcedon.  He  is  about  sixty,  has  never 
taught  Philosophy  or  Theology,  though  he  is  an  able  man,  the  son 
of  respectable  parents. 

6°  Mr.  John  Lassells,  alias  Bolds.  The  President  of  Douay 
knew  him  well  at  the  College,  where  he  taught  humanities.  He 
is  about  fifty-eight  years  old,  well-born,  though  his  family  are  very 
poor,  has  always  lived  a  pious  and  exemplary  life,  and  though  a 
follower  of  White,  he  has  never  yet  seemed  openly  to  favour  his 
profane  novelties.  With  respect  to  the  factions  which  have  arisen 
among  the  clergy  concerning  White,  he  has  kept  a  neutral  position, 
being  neither  a  warm  supporter  nor  opponent.  Yet  he  was  made  by 
the  Dean  of  the  Capitular  priests  Archdeacon  of  Norfolk  and  another 
county,  though  he  knew  or  should  have  known  that  according 
to  the  canons,  ecclesiastical  dignities  ought  not  to  be  conferred 
\vithout  permission  of  the  Apostolic  See.  However  this  may 
be,  the  President  of  the  College  is  ready  to  answer  for  him  that  if  he 
should  be  appointed  Superior  of  the  English  Clergy  or  President 
of  the  same  College,  he  would  always  comply  with  the  will  of  His 
Holiness.  He  has  done  little  or  no  work  on  the  English  Mission 
since  his  ordination  to  the  priesthood,  always  having  charge  of  the 
eldest  sons  of  noble  families  who  for  the  sake  of  education  have  gone 
abroad.  Hence  his  life  has  mostly  been  spent  in  France,  and  some 
times  in  Italy,  where  His  Eminence  Francis  Cardinal  Barberini, 
Protector  of  England,  has  had  acquaintance  with  him.  Now, 
however,  he  lives  in  Paris,  having  charge  of  the  most  noble  Baron 
Lumley. 

7°  Mr.  John  Leyburn,  of  the  ancient  Barons  Leyburn,  is  the 
nephew  of  the  President  of  Douay.  His  life  has  been  nearly  all 
spent  in  France,  for  the  Illustrious  Viscount  Montague  entrusted 
to  him  the  care  of  his  eldest  son,  and  during  the  troubles  between 
King  and  Parliament  he  stayed  in  various  provinces  of  France, 
and  finally  setting  out  for  Rome,  travelled  through  most  of  Italy. 
He  is  forty-four  years  old,  has  great  natural  gifts,  is  a  good  English, 
Latin,  and  French  scholar,  of  excellent  disposition,  and  very  exem 
plary  life.  In  the  opinion,  however,  of  his  uncle,  now  President 
of  Douay,  he  has  become  a  "  Neopoliticus  Callus,"  looking  after  his 
own  rather  than  the  public  good,  so  reserved  that  he  confides  secrets 
to  no  man.  Still  the  President,  his  uncle,  as  he  answered  for  Mr. 
Lassells,  can  answer  for  him,  that  by  word  and  deed  he  will  always 
be  prepared  to  obey  the  will  of  His  Holiness.  He  usually  lives  at 
London  in  the  house  of  the  said  Viscount  Montague. 

8°  Mr.  John  (Francis)  Gage,  Doctor  of  Theology,  was  Agent 
for  the  English  Clergy  at  Rome  some  years  ago,  and  hence  is 
sufficiently  well  known  to  His  Eminence  the  Protector  of  England, 
and  the  other  Cardinals  of  the  Roman  Church.  He  has  worked  very 
little  in  England  since  his  ordination.  He  was  educated  in  the 
Pontifical  College  of  Douay,  is  well  known  to  the  President,  and  has 
always  led  an  exemplary  life.  He  now  lives  in  the  College  of  Navarre 
at  Paris,  in  charge  of  two  eldest  sons  of  noble  families.  He  is  of 


FIFTH     DOUAY     DIARY  549 

good  birth,  and  sufficiently  learned,  and  he  acts  diplomatically 
with  regard  to  the  dissensions  in  England  caused  by  White's  teach 
ing  ;  for  he  has  no  patrimony,  and  the  want  of  this  makes  many 
more  secular  priests  afraid  to  condemn  openly  novelties  which  they 
hate  at  heart,  lest  they  should  be  deprived  of  the  alms  which  are 
given  to  the  Capitular  priests  for  distribution.  He  is  forty  years 
of  age. 

9  Mr.  George  Warrham,  Archdeacon  of  Sussex  and  Suffolk, 
born  of  poor  parents,  is  unlearned,  much  occupied  in  secular  business, 
and  has  great  influence  with  the  Dean  because  he  is  full  of  zeal  for 
the  party  which  opposes  the  present  President  of  Douay.  The 
President  knows  him  well,  for  he  was  educated  in  the  said  College  ; 
he  was  a  youth  of  no  promise,  not  even  capable  of  teaching  the 
elements  of  grammar.  He  lives  in  the  county  of  Norfolk,  and  is 
about  sixty  years  of  age. 

10°  Mr.  Richard  Stevenson,  or  Stevens,  for  so  he  was  named  when 
studying  at  Douay,  is  a  Vicar-General,  to  whose  care  are  entrusted 
many  counties  of  England.  He  is  seventy,  is  paralysed,  of  respect 
able  though  not  noble  birth.  He  lives  with  a  gentleman,  Mr. 
Fitchherbert,  nephew  of  the  Reverend  Father  Fitchherbert,  who  used 
to  be  Rector  of  the  English  College  at  Rome.  He  seems  to  have 
led  a  pious  and  exemplar}^  life.  His  professor  of  theology  was  White. 

11°  Mr.  John  Medcalf,  Archdeacon  of  Northumberland  and 
Cumberland,  is  a  keen  supporter  of  the  Chapter's  cause,  though  he 
has  no  learning  to  defend  it.  He  has  said  openly  that  if  he  were 
king  of  England,  he  would  proscribe  all  priests  who  refused  to  take 
the  oath  of  allegiance.  He  is  about  thirty-eight,  experienced  in 
breeding  and  training  horses,  born  of  respectable  though  not  nobie 
parentage.  He  lives  in  the  county  of  Durham. 

12°  Mr.  John  Singleton  is  Treasurer  of  the  Capitular  priests. 
He  was  born  of  very  poor  parents,  was  a  student  at  Douay,  where 
he  taught  humanities  and  one  course  of  philosophy.  He  was  brought 
into  the  Capitulars  by  White,  and  is  so  strong  a  supporter  of  his 
teachings  that  he  always  keeps  White's  books  by  him  to  be  recom 
mended  to  the  new  missionaries,  i.e.  the  latest  arrivals  in  London. 
He  is  of  a  quarrelsome  disposition,  and  when  he  was  in  the  College 
at  Douay  he  organised  a  party  against  his  President  ;  and  he  was 
the  principal  cause  of  the  faction  against  the  present  President, 
supported  by  Mr.  Shephard  and  Mr.  Lutton,  two  confessors  of  the 
College.  He  is  about  thirty-eight,  is  a  good  companion,  showing 
himself  rather  an  advocate  than  a  preacher  ;  he  lives  in  London. 

13°  Mr.  John  Holland,  alias  Serjeant,  under  assumed  names 
has  been  for  many  years  Secretary  of  the  Capitular  priests,  being 
raised  to  that  office  by  White.  His  writings  now  published  in  his 
name  are  full  of  profane  novelties.  But  since  at  present  he  is  in 
bad  odour  amongst  many  Catholics,  the  Capitular  priests  do  not 
make  use  of  his  help.  He  was  born  of  heretical  parents,  and  educated 
at  Cambridge,  and  was  then  recommended  as  Secretary  to  the  pseudo- 
bishop  of  Durham,  who  used  to  persecute  Catholics  in  wonderful 
ways.  On  the  death  of  the  pseudo-bishop  at  the  beginning  of  the 


550  FIFTH     DOUAY    DIARY 

English  troubles,  he  had  no  means  of  sustenance.  But  being  friendly 
with  a  Catholic  he  joined  the  Church,  and  being  recommended  to 
the  Superior  of  the  English  Clergy  living  in  London,  was  sent  to 
the  College  at  Lisbon.  After  being  ordained  there,  he  returned  to 
England,  and  acted  as  private  secretary  to  White,  until  he  was 
elected  Secretary  of  the  Capitular  priests.  He  is  about  thirty- 
eight  years  old,  is  a  good  companion,  lives  in  London. 

14°  Mr.  Matthew  Sherborne,  Vicar-General  of  the  county  of 
Lancaster,  was  at  Douay  together  with  the  present  President, 
completed  his  course  of  philosophy  and  theology  in  the  same  College, 
and  is  a  relative  of  the  present  President.  He  has  worked  perse- 
veringly  on  the  English  Mission  from  the  time  that  he  was  sent 
there.  A  priest  certainly  good,  pious,  and  learned,  but  so  old,  fat, 
and  weak  of  body  that  he  can  scarcely  walk  or  ride.  He  is  sixty- 
eight  years  of  age,  of  good  birth,  and  lives  with  his  nephew,  the  heir 
of  the  family  estates,  near  Lancaster,  the  principal  town  of  the 
county. 

15°  Mr.  Robert  Charnack,  alias  Manley,  Archdeacon  of  the  said 
county  of  Lancaster.  The  present  President  of  Douay  knows  him 
well,  and  sent  him  as  a  friendless  youth  to  Lisbon,  securing  free 
admission  for  him  to  the  English  College  there,  where  his  professor 
of  theology  was  Mr.  Humphrey  Warine,  dean  of  the  Capitular 
priests.  This  good  Archdeacon  is  a  busy  and  active  man  with  regard 
to  legal  business,  and  excels  the  other  Capitular  priests  both  in  sub 
tlety  and  in  zeal  for  White,  though  he  is  incapable  of  understanding 
White's  opinions  owing  to  his  want  of  learning.  He  is  a  man  of 
exemplary  life,  and  lives  at  the  house  of  the  widow  of  the  noble 
knight,  Sir  Thomas  Tylsley.  His  family  was  very  poor,  but  of  good 
position,  and,  after  some  few  years,  at  the  death  of  his  brother,  he 
succeeded  to  some  property,  whereas  previously  he  had  nothing. 
He  is  about  forty-two. 

16°  Mr.  Hodgson,  Archdeacon  of  the  county  of  York,  was  put 
in  that  position  a  year  and  a  half  ago  in  place  of  the  distinguished 
and  holy  man,  Mr.  George  Hudleston,  whom  Richard,  Bishop  of 
Chalcedon,  had  made  Archdeacon  of  the  same  county.  The  Presi 
dent  of  Douay  does  not  know  him,  but  he  has  heard  from  priests 
living  in  the  said  county  that  he  is  a  young  man  of  no  distinction, 
and  only  placed  over  distinguished,  pious,  learned,  and  older  priests 
because  he  is  a  friend  of  the  said  Singleton,  Treasurer  of  the  Chapter. 
He  is  thirty-six  years  of  age,  and  lives  in  the  same  county. 

17°  Mr.  George  Ley  burn,  Doctor  of  Theology  and  President  of 
the  Pontifical  College  of  Douay,  is  at  present  in  the  sixteenth  year 
of  his  presidentship.  Before  he  undertook  this  office,  he  was  for 
four  years  Vicar-General  of  the  late  Bishop  of  Chalcedon  and  Superior 
of  all  the  English  Clergy.  At  the  present  time  he  is  like  another 
Joseph  among  his  brethren  of  the  Chapter. 

These  remarks  will  be  sufficient  with  regard  to  the  chief  priests 
of  the  first  class,  and  certainly  as  to  the  rest  they  are  of  little  account. 
The  purpose  of  this  list  now  demands  some  notice,  where  possible, 


FIFTH     DOUAY     DIARY 


of  the  priests  of  the  second  class,  that  is,  the  more  noteworthy 
priests  who  are  not  Capitulars.

most  illustrious  Walter  Montague,  Abbot  Commenda 
tory  in  France  and  Chief  Almoner  to  the  Queen-Mother  of  the  King 
of  England,  and  of  the  Duchess  of  Orleans.  The  President  of  the 
Pontifical  College  of  Douay  has  known  him  well  since  the  beginning 
of  his  conversion  to  the  Catholic  Faith.  For  he  was  born  of  heretical 

I?™? A  ?rndihl<  ™thei>  Wh°  Was  originally  a  barrister,  was  afterwards 
created  Earl  of  Manchester.  His  eldest  brother  was  also  appointed 

Dy  tne  reigning  King  of  England  to  be  prefect  of  the  palace in 

English,  "My  Lord  Chamberlain."  Now  the  aforesaid  Abbot 
Montagu  is  a  Prelate  beyond  all  praise,  that  is,  endowed  with  every 
kind  of  virtue,  and  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  he  is  so  old  for  he 
is  at  least  sixty-six.  He  dwells  in  the  house  of  the  said  Queen  at 
nH^rUa  he  has  great  influence  with  her,  and  it  would  be  to  the 
advantage  of  the  Clergy  if  he  possessed  such  influence  with  the  King 
of  England  himself. 

2nd      Mr.  Edward  Thimbleby,  provost  of  the  Collegiate  Church 
of  Cambray    a  man  of  great  eminence,  is  of  very  noble  family 
and  one  which  is  highly  regarded  by  the  King  of  England.     He  is 
very  acceptable  to  all  the  regulars,  especially  to  the  Fathers  of  the 
Society  and  the  English  Benedictines.     For  a  long  time  he  resided 
at  Rome  m  the  service  of  a  certain  Cardinal,  and  so  he  is  very  well- 
mown  at  the  Roman  Court.     His  abilities  and  prudence  are  great 
but  he  has  never  been  upon  the  English  Mission 
t+F^    Mr'  William  Mennell,  descended  from  the  ancient  race 
of  the  Barons  Mennell,  is  good,  devout,  sufficiently  learned  and  gifted 
with  prudence  in  conducting  affairs.     The  President  of  the  English 
College  at  Douay  would  have  chosen  him  as  his  Vice-President  but 
he  refused  that  office,  through  the  influence  of  his  relatives' and 
friends  who  could  not  be  induced  to  allow  him  to  live  out  of  England 
rie  is  about  fifty  years  old,  and  has  always  dissented  from  the  favourite 
objects  of  the  Capitular  priests,  both  as  to  the  exercise  of  extra 
ordinary  faculties  without  the  leave  of  His  Holiness  and  as  to  the 

Sv?116  noveltles  of  White-     He  lives  in  the  county  of  York  with  Mr 
Witham,  a  man  of  high  birth. 

4th.  Mr.  Michael  Jenison,*  Vice-President  of  the  Pontifical 
College  of  Douay,  born  of  parents  of  good  standing,  is  distinguished 
oy  piety,  and  possesses  sufficient  learning.  He  is,  moreover  an 
enemy  to  strange  doctrine,  and  a  very  obedient  son  of  the  Roman 
Church.  He  is  forty-three  years  old,  and  is  well-known  to  the  King 
ot  England,  and  in  favour  with  him. 

5th.  Mr.  Robert  Pugh,  doctor  in  both  laws,  devout  and  good 
is  sprung  from  a  distinguished  but  impoverished  family  He  has 
published  several  pamphlets  against  White,  which  have  made  him 
unpopular  with  the  chief  Capitulars.  He  is  sixty-six  or  thereabouts 
but  strong  in  body.  Formerly  he  joined  the  Jesuits,  and  although 
ne  left  their  Society,  he  remains  very  devoted  to  them.  He  lives  in 
Eon don. 

*  In  the  Fifth  Diary  he  is  always  called  Genings. 


552  FIFTH     DOUAY     DIARY 

6th.  Mr.  Robert  Brathwet,  a  man  distinguished  by  piety 
and  prudence,  and  an  enemy  of  strange  doctrine.  The  President 
of  the  Pontifical  College  of  Douay  knows  him  well,  as  he  is  his  relative. 
He  taught  philosophy  in  the  same  College,  and  for  several  years 
acted  as  Procurator.  He  was  born  of  parents  of  good  standing, 
and  is  about  forty-four  years  old.  He  lives  in  Lancashire  in  the 
house  of  his  sister. 

7th.  Mr.  James  Heaselwood,  licentiate  of  theology,  is  a  con 
temporary  and  fellow-student  of  the  President  of  the  English  College 
at  Douay.  He  detests  the  strange  doctrines  of  White,  and  execrates 
them  worse  than  a  dog.  He  is  descended  from  a  family  of  good 
standing,  and  for  the  space  of  many  years  lived  with  the  illustrious 
Viscount  Stafford,  to  whose  wife  he  was  confessor.  He  is  a  learned 
man  of  exemplary  life.  He  is  sixty-eight  years  old,  and  still  vigorous. 

8th.  Mr.  Lawrence  Jones,  a  man  of  good  disposition  and  learned, 
very  hostile  to  strange  doctrines.  He  was  born  of  well-born  but 
poor  parents.  He  is  about  fifty  years  old  and  lives  in  London. 

Mr.  John  Younge,  is  a  devout,  good,  and  prudent  priest,  who 
was  always  averse  to  the  pernicious  doctrines  of  White,  and  dis 
approved  of  the  favourite  objects  of  the  Capitulars.  He  was  born 
of  parents  of  good  position.  He  is  about  sixty  years  old,  but  feeble 
in  body.  He  lives  at  Branton,  in  the  county  of  York. 

Many  priests  of  this  sort,  devout,  good,  and  possessed  of  sufficient 
learning,  I  might  here  enumerate  ;  but  I  am  aiming  at  brevity, 
and  their  enumeration  would  lead  to  a  longer  explanation  than  could 
be  set  out  in  brief. 

On  the  last  page  of  the  Diary  there  is  a  note,  written  seventy  years 
later,  which  runs  as  follows  : — 

In  the  year  1725,  May  8th. 

I,  Robert  Witham,  President  of  this  College,  certify  that  I  cannot 
yet  find  any  journal  or  history  of  events  relating  to  this  College  from 
the  year  1654  to  the  year  1676— that  is,  for  the  twenty-two  years 
during  which  there  presided  over  this  College  Mr.  George  Layburne 
(till  the  year  1670),  and  then  his  successor,  Mr.  John  Leyburne, 
nephew  of  the  previous  President.  But  though  I  lately  discovered 
in  the  Procurator's  room  some  letters  and  at  some  time  a  catalogue 
of  masters  and  others  in  the  College,  hitherto  I  have  not  found  any 
list  of  the  priests  who  were  sent  into  England  by  both  these  Presi 
dents,  or  of  the  alumni  who  took  the  oath  under  Mr.  George  Leyburn. 
Nevertheless,  it  has  seemed  well  to  note  down  here  some  things 
which  we  have  been  able  to  discover  from  the  year  1654,  in  which  the 
Diary,  under  the  aforesaid  President,  ceases.

In    superior!    narratione    nostra    illud    erat    postremum    quod

ex  eo  apparet  quod  prseter  eos  qui  Romam,  interim  vel  in  Angliam 
discesserunt  (de  quibus  postea)  jam  mine  hodierno  die  sumus,  non 
dico  in  urbe,  sed  in  Seminario  112,  praeter  Duacenos  nostros  qui 
plurimi   sunt    humanioris   litteraturae   et    philosophise    in    Collegio 
patrum  studiosi  quod  hujus  Collegii  quasi  pedagogium  philosophicum 
constituimus.     Certc  Rcmenses  nostros  magnum  refectorium  non 
capit,  quantum  vis  in  his  augustiis  loci  dilatentur  spatia  charitatis, 
quod  eo  est   mirabilius  postquam  D.  Alanus  praeses,  metuens  ne 
sumptus    quoque    tantae  multitudinis  non    suffecerint   non   solum 
exquisitum  examen  et  delectum  facit  advenientium,  sed  de  Venturis 
quoque  mandat  et  monet  quantum  potest  ut  quam  maxime  idonei 
accedant  ;   Nam  reliquam  turbam  Catholicorum  scholarium  ferendo 
plane  non  esset  ;  quamvis  hoc  anno  Sanctmus  D.  N.  pro  sua  incredi- 
bili  largitate  priori  munificentiae,  menstruse  centum  Coronatorum 
adjecerit  50  in  singulos  menses.     Non  solum  autem  sic  ab  illo  cautum 
est  necessario,  sed  et  legatus  Anglioe  Parissiis  consistens,  videns 
et  audiens  nobiles  adolescentes  plurimos  huc_  transfretare  et  alios 
fieri   presbyteros,    alios    religiosos,    omnes    ad   seminaria   tendere, 
fertur  dixisse  se  dominam  suam  et  consiliarios  ejus  admoniturum 
ut  huic  rei  mature  prospiciant  idque  per  parentum  incarcerationem 
nisi  filios  suos  non  modo  domi  detineant  sed  etiam  domum  revocent. 
Veniunt  tamen  quotidie  et  veniunt    tales  ut  jam  sint  apud  nos 
nobilium  virorum  haeredes  et  filii  natu  maximi  quos  parentes  cupmnt 
esse  sacerdotes  :    et  iinus  in  primis  xx  plus  minus  annorum  bellus 
juvenis   et    Duaci   olim   educatus,    nuperime   in    Anglia   disposito 
opulentissimo  patrimonio,  et  contempto  saeculo,  cum  esset  totus 
sui  juris,  anhelat  ad  vitam  ecclesiasticam  ;    et  omnino  illud  in  his 
adolescentibus  nostris  est  mirabile  et  gentis  nostrae  peculiare  atque 
singulare  beneficium  tarn  multos  esse  qui  sua  sponte,  etiam  nolentibus 
parentibus   et    interdum   vetantibus,  nullo   praemio   proposito  sed 
carceribus  et  caeteris  afflictionibus,  studiosissime  tamen  appetunt 
sacerdotium  non  sine  aliquo  magno  (ut  speramus)  praesagio  futurae 
divinse  dementis  erga  gentem  nostram.     Cum  alias  rarissimi  esse 
soleant  ex  nobilibus  presbyterii  appetentes,  atque  illi  ipsi  non  nisi 
opulentum  prius  consecuti  beneficium.    Sunt  et  alii  praeterea  in  Colle 
gio  juvenes  nobiles  qui  turn  primum  nati  cum  haeresis  jam  dominari 
Cc-episset,  usque  ad  hunc  diem  sic  a  Catholicis  parentibus  instituti 
fuerunt  ut,  nulla  hseresis  aut  schismatis  societate  contaminati,  semper 
in   ecclesise   gremio   fuerint    ab   ipsa  infantia.     Quod   ideo   refero 
quasi  rem  valde  notandam  quia  cum  praeclarum  sit  caeteros  recon- 
ciliationis  beneficium  a  nostris  presbyteris  postulare,  hoc  est   ut 
ecclesiae  unde  exierant  reconsilientur,  isti  reconsiliatione  ista  non 
indigeant.     Atque  ut  de  aliis  quoque  dicam  non  vulganbus,  sunt

Life  of  Ven.  Edmund  Gening*  by  his  brother  John.     "And  on  a  time  in  these  his 
tender  years,  going  forth  at  night  according  to  his  custom,  a  strange  spectacle  appcare 
to  him  in  the  air.     He  saw,  as  it  were,  men  armed  with  weapons  killing  and  mur- 
therine  others  that  were  disarmed,  and  great  store  of  blood  running  everywhere  about 
them/    This  strange  sight  put  him  into  a  great  fear,  which  caused  him  to  run  hastily 
to  tell  his  mother,  and  she  presently  went  forth  with   three  or  four  of  her  neignboi 
and  they  were  all  eyewitnesses  of  the  same  spectacle.     This  happened  at  the  beginning 
of  our  chiefest  persecution,  not  long  before  the  glorious  death  of  Father  Campion  and 
the  rest,  about  the  year  1581.''    The  popular  tradition  was  described  in  the  passage  in 
Thomson's  Seasons  descriptive  of  the  appearance  of  meteors  (Autumn  1112   1119)- 
From  look  to  look,  contagious  thro'  the  crowd, 
The  panic  runs,  and  into  wondrous  shapes 
Th'  appearance  throws  :    armies  in  meet  array, 
Throng'd  with  aerial  spears,  and  steeds  of  fire  ;

In  bleeding  fight  commixt,  the  sanguine  flood 
Rolls  a  broad  slaughter  o'er  the  plains  of  heaven.

ITRANSLATION  OF  RHEIMS  REPORT. 

Events  at  the  Pontifical  English  College  at  Rheims  from 

the  feast  of  the  Holy  Trinity  in  the  year  1579  till  the 

feast  of  St.  Mary  Magdalen  1580,  July  22. 

In  our  former  narrative  the  last  thing  recorded  was  that  the 
magistrates  of  Douay,  who  were  good  Catholics,  earnestly  invited 
us  back  by  their  letters,  and  that  we  had  already  begun  to  think  about 
returning.  Now  let  us  begin  the  following  relation  by  giving 
thanks  to  Almighty  God,  and  after  Him,  to  our  most  holy  Lord 
and  Father  the  Pope,  that  we  did  not  return.  For  as  we  had  decided 
that  nothing  was  to  be  undertaken  without  him,  His  Holiness 
deigned  to  intimate  to  us  that  we  must  not  return  till  there  was  more 
security.  And  by  this  he  readily  showed  both  his  wonderful  care 
in  protecting  us,  and  his  singular  prudence  in  foreseeing  future 
developments.  For  now  it  is  a  year  and  more  since  anything  has 
been  safe  there  on  account  of  the  close  vicinity  of  the  invading 
enemy  and  their  strongly  fortified  garrisons.  And,  indeed,  at  this 
time  all  hope  of  security  is  so  far  withdrawn  that  the  enemy  daily 
grows  stronger,  and  many  citizens  of  Douay  who  were  in  arms  have 
(by  what  stratagems  I  know  not)  fallen  into  their  power.  It  is, 
therefore,  a  great — nay,  an  exceedingly  great — benefit  that  we  have 

*  The  MS.  reads  "res,''  but  probably  tins  is  a  copyist's  error  for  "cos." 


560  RHE1MS   ANNUAL    REPORT  1579-80 

always  had  and  now  have  this  city  of  Rheims  as  a  home  for  our 
studies,  and  as  a  most  secure  harbour  in  which  we  rest,  so  that 
hitherto  there  is  no  one  to  alarm  us.  And  certainly,  though  we  have 
often  spoken  before,  we  can  never  sufficiently  praise  both  the  magis 
tracy  itself  and  some  admirable  men  of  the  leading  clergy,  also  the 
neighbouring  bishops  who  have  ordained  our  priests,  and  some  of  the 
nobility,  men  of  great  piety,  for  the  religious  good-feeling  they  have 
shown  us,  being  moved  to  compassion  for  our  cause  and  our  condition. 
While  we  dwell  in  this  peace  there  pour  in  on  us  from  all  sides,  as 
though  there  were  no  peace  elsewhere — from  Douay,  from  Louvain, 
and  from  the  rest  of  Belgium,  not  only  venerable  theologians 
belonging  to  our  country,  but  many  men  of  good  standing,  some 
of  whom  visit  the  College  as  they  travel;  others  dwell  with  us  or 
near  us.  I  do  not  mention  those  out  of  Spain  who  came  this  year 
to  us  from  Rome  ;  all  of  whom,  whithersoever  they  were  bound, 
felt  that  they  must  tarry  here  and  visit  this  Seminary  of  Gregory 
XIII,  either  out  of  devotion  towards  our  founder  or  for  the  sake  of 
the  mutual  encouragement  by  which  we  console  ourselves,  exhorting 
one  another  in  Our  Lord.  The  chief  of  these  and  the  father  of  our 
race  was  the  right  reverend  Lord  Bishop  of  St.  Asaph's,  that  aged 
and  venerable  confessor  of  many  years,  whom  with  joyful  souls 
we  beheld  daily  at  our  table — such  was  his  condescension. 

In  what  numbers  they  have  fled  hither  from  England  appears 
even  from  the  fact  that  besides  those  who  have  departed  in  the 
meantime  for  Rome  or  for  England  (about  whom  we  will  speak 
hereafter),  now  at  the  present  moment  we  are  112  in  number,  I 
do  not  say  in  the  town,  but  in  the  seminary,  besides  our  Douay 
students,  who  are  for  the  most  part  studying  Humanities  and  Philoso 
phy  at  the  College  of  the  [Jesuit]  Fathers,  whom  we  have  chosen 
to  teacli  philosophy  for  this  College.  Certainly  the  large  refectory 
does  not  hold  our  Rhemish  students,  although  in  the  narrowness 
of  the  place  the  breadth  of  charity  is  enlarged.  And  this  is  the  more 
wonderful  since  Mr.  Allan,  our  President,  fearing  that  the  expenses 
of  such  a  great  multitude  would  be  too  great,  has  not  only  made 
a  thorough  and  particular  examination  of  all  new-comers,  but  has 
ordered  and  advised  with  regard  to  those  about  to  come  that  so  far 
as  may  be  they  should  come  as  fit  as  possible.  For  our  resources 
are  plainly  unequal  to  support  the  remaining  crowds  of  Catholic 
students,  although  this  year  our  most  holy  lord,  in  his  incredible 
generosity,  has  added  to  his  previous  monthly  munificence  of  a 
hundred  crowns,  fifty  more  every  month.  And  not  only  was 
necessary  provision  made  by  him,  but  the  English  Ambassador 
resident  at  Paris,  seeing  and  hearing  that  very  many  noble  youths 
were  travelling  hither,  and  that  some  were  becoming  priests,  others 
religious,  but  all  going  to  the  seminaries,  is  reported  to  have  said 
that  he  would  advise  his  mistress  and  her  counsellors  to  take  early 
steps  with  regard  to  this  matter  by  the  imprisonment  of  the  parents, 
unless  they  not  only  kept  their  sons  at  home,  but  also  recalled  them 
thither.  Yet  they  arrive  daily,  and  they  are  of  such  standing 


1579-80  RHEIMS   ANNUAL    REPORT  561 

that  now  there  are  among  us  the  heirs  and  eldest  sons  of  good 
families,  whom  their  parents  desire  to  be  made  priests.  One 
especially,  about  twenty  years  old,  a  fine  lad,  formerly  educated 
at  Douay,  having  lately  resigned  a  very  rich  inheritance,  and 
renounced  the  world,  being  altogether  sui  juris,  aspires  to  the  ecclesi 
astical  state.  And  about  these  young  men  of  ours  this  is  a  fact 
altogether  wonderful,  and  of  peculiar  and  singular  advantage  to 
our  nation,  namely,  that  there  are  so  many  who  of  their  own  accord, 
most  earnestly  desire  the  priesthood  even  against  the  wishes  and 
sometimes  against  the  commands  of  their  parents,  and  this,  though 
no  reward  is  offered  them  but  imprisonment  and  other  trials.  All 
this  is  not  (as  we  hope)  without  great  promise  of  divine  clemency 
towards  our  nation  in  the  future.  Whereas  usually  there  are  very 
few  of  good  family  who  desire  the  priesthood,  and  these  only 
when  they  have  first  obtained  a  rich  benefice.  There  are  also 
other  noble  youths  in  the  College  who,  being  born  at  a  time  when 
heresy  began  to  gain  the  mastery,  have  been  brought  up  by  their 
parents  to  this  day  in  such  a  manner  that  they  have  never  been 
contaminated  by  any  association  with  heresy  or  schism,  and  have 
ever  been  in  the  bosom  of  the  Church  from  their  infancy.  And 
therefore  I  mention  this  as  a  very  noteworthy  thing,  because,  as  it 
is  notorious  that  others  seek  the  benefit  of  reconciliation  from  our 
priests — that  is  that  they  may  be  reconciled  to  the  Church  from 
which  they  had  gone  out — these  stand  in  no  need  of  this  reconcilia 
tion.  And  that  I  may  also  speak  of  others  not  of  common  birth, 
there  are  two  of  high  rank  at  our  table,  advanced  in  age  and  of  ripe 
prudence,  who  not  so  long  ago  at  home  were,  first,  students  at  the 
Inns  of  Court,  then  men  of  high  repute  publicly  practising  law, 
and  who  are  now  devoted  to  sacred  theology  and  contemplating 
the  priesthood.  A  third  of  the  same  description  was  this  year 
ordained  deacon.  And,  what  is  more,  there  have  arrived  four 
whom  the  Calvinists  call  ministers,  two  of  whom  are  already  priests 
and  the  other  two  will  be.  To  what  shall  we  attribute  this  concourse, 
greater  than  ever  before,  except  in  part  to  our  priests,  more  of  whom 
have  been  sent  out  this  year  than  previously,  and  who  daily  touch 
the  hearts  of  more  people  ;  and  partly  and  chiefly  to  that  Roman 
College  which  this  year  has  begun  to  flourish  exceedingly  under  the 
Fathers  of  the  Society,  through  the  wonderful  good  "offices  and 
extreme  favour  of  our  most  illustrious  and  most  kind  protector, 
Cardinal  Moroni  ?  Almost  all  our  students  are  so  inflamed  with 
the  desire  of  going  to  the  Roman  College  that  nothing  gives  more 
trouble  to  the  President  than  this  insatiable  and  ceaseless  ambition 
of  his  own  subjects  to  be  sent  to  the  Roman  teaching  and  training. 
But  as  we  must  act  with  moderation  and  discrimination  in  this 
matter,  there  have  been  sent  during  this  space  of  time  to  the  College 
and  to  the  teaching  of  the  Fathers  eighteen  scholars  besides  the 
eight  who  are  being  sent  now,  and  some  of  high  rank  besides  who 
live  at  their  own  expense  in  the  same  house  and  under  the  same 
discipline. 


.»>',_'  RHElMS    ANNUAL    REPORT  1579-80 

But  during  the  same  space  of  time,  that  is,  since  the  latest 
relation  last  year,  there  have  set  out  for  England,  into  that  harvest 
of  the  Lord,  thirty-five  priests  from  this  seminary,  of  whom  one  is 
fifty  years  of  age  and  of  very  high  rank,  being  the  brother  of  a  certain 
illustrious  Councillor  of  the  kingdom.  And  to  these  have  been 
added  sixteen  priests  from  Rome.  And  this  is  the  year  in  which 
not  only  that  our  College,  but  the  most  flourishing  society  of  Jesus 
for  the  first  time  has  sent  priests  to  us  and  to  our  England.  All 
these  labourers  the  most  illustrious  and  most  holy  Cardinal  Bor- 
romeo  embraced  with  wonderful  charity,  and  inviting  them  to 
him,  hospitably  entertained  them.  And  so  the  Archbishop  of 
Milan  has  become  to  us  such  another  patron  as  we  had  before 
in  the  most  illustrious  Cardinal  of  Bononia,  who  was  worthy  of  all 
praise.  \Vhat  fruits  in  that  English  harvest  are  not  (with  the  help 
of  God)  promised  by  the  arrival  of  these  Fathers,  which  before  was 
so  much  desired,  but  now  that  they  have  safely  landed,  is  so  welcome 
to  all  good  men  in  England  ?  This  harvest  is  so  abundant  that  Mr. 
Wright,  licentiate  of  Sacred  Theology  (whom  we  mentioned  in  our 
previous  reports) ,  and  who  has  for  two  years  and  more  been  a  prisoner 
for  Christ,  writes  that  nothing  is  wanting  but  labourers.  For 
lie  states  that  the  harvest  in  the  northern  parts  is  incredible,  and 
certainly  in  one  province  of  the  kingdom,  not  very  large,  a  hundred 
<  >r  two  hundred  people  hear  mass  and  sermons — not  in  the  churches, 
for  they  have  none  for  the  purpose — but  in  places  which  are  secret 
and  spacious.  There  are  to  be  found  in  that  district  about  five 
thousand  people  known  by  name,  who  are  called  "  the  reconciled," 
that  is  restored  to  the  bosom  of  the  Church,  from  every  schismatic 
contagion  and  association.  The  Chief  Counsellors  have  a  list 
of  them  under  this  name,  and  they  have  decided  that  an  enquiry 
is  to  be  held  with  regard  to  them.  What  will  be  done  we  do  not  yet 
fully  know,  except  that  the  people  wish  to  avenge  this  annoyance 
by  their  death.  But  now  even  in  their  chains  the  priests  win  over 
many,  so  that  in  the  devil's  gaol  is  the  Church  of  Christ,  and  in  the 
midst  of  chains  the  Word  of  God  is  not  bound.  Wealthy  London 
ladies  are  separated  from  their  husbands,  husbands  from  their  wives, 
children  from  their  parents  and  the  reverse,  if  not  in  their  daily 
lives  yet  in  faith.  One  widow,  on  the  death  of  her  husband,  who  was 
;i  Catholic  and  a  great  lawyer,  lias  crossed  the  sea  to  take  the  religious 
habit.  Nay,  furthermore,  many  men  belonging  to  the  people 
(a  class  of  man  among  us  of  very  respectable  position)  are  forced 
like  thieves  to  plead  before  the  bar  and  answer  the  charge  of  hearing 
Mass  ;  and  on  their  confession  or  conviction  they  are  compelled 
to  pay  fines.  On  their  release  they  immediately  resume  the  same 
worship  of  God,  not  fearing  the  fines,  but  labouring  with  their 
hands  that  they  may  have  wherewithal  to  pay  them.  How  often, 
oh  good  God !  at  London  and  elsewhere  are  men  of  good  position 
with  their  wives,  and  even  the  wives  without  their  husbands  (as 
they  are  more  religious),  summoned  to  court,  not  out  of  zeal  for 
religion,  but  for  the  sake  of  the  fine,  which  when  often  extorted 


1579-80  RHEIMS    ANNUAL    REPORT  503 

brings  great  gain  to  certain  courtiers  who  solicit  these  penalties. 
And  from  the  least  of  the  heretics  to  the  greatest  they  entire!}7 
measure  all  things  not  by  any  religion,  but  by  their  own  profit. 
Yet  Mistress  Norton  (otherwise  called  Jonson,  from  her  husband's 
name),  the  devout  daughter  of  the  old  man  Norton,  an  illustrious 
lady,  who  two  years  previously  sought  for  her  father  even  as  far 
as  Rome,  she,  I  say,  returning  to  her  husband,  was  cast  into  prison, 
and  cannot  yet  buy  her  liberty.  But  seeing  the  Catholics  increase 
daily  more  and  more,  and  that  the  Truth,  which  is  mighty  and  which 
will  prevail,  is  quietly  creeping  into  houses,  cities,  counties,  and  into 
the  Royal  palace  itself,  hearing  that  the  Fathers  of  the  Society  have 
arrived  and  not  knowing  how  to  discover  them  or  being  able  to  hinder 
them — because  the  finger  of  God  is  here — despairing,  in  a  measure, 
they  are  for  ever  afraid  of  I  know  not  what  happening  to  their 
temporal  possessions.  They  are  afraid,  like  the  Jews,  "  lest  the 
Romans  should  come,"  and  so  they  suspect  that  every  fleet,  every 
warlike  armament  of  the  Catholic  princes  is  directed  against  them 
selves  ;  and  the  words  of  the  poet  are  fulfilled  in  them  :  "  Greater 
than  war  is  the  fear  thereof."  This  fear  is  also  increased  by  the 
earthquake  this  year  which,  though  it  took  place  overseas  and  in 
neighbouring  countries,  yet  was  very  great  there,  and  very  authentic 
and  manifest  visions  in  the  air  as  of  two  armies  in  combat.  Whence 
it  happens  that  besides  other  preparations  of  a  warlike  kind  three 
fast  days  were  enjoined  in  one  week  (a  wonderful  thing  among 
heretics),  and  that  which  they  scorn  to  do  religiously  at  the  bidding 
of  the  Church,  they  do  in  a  heretical  and  secular  way  through 
fear  of  losing  their  property.  Would  that  they  did  not  fear  in  vain, 
and  certainly,  when*  it  shall  be  Heaven's  will,  this  their  fast,  which 
the  Lord  hath  not  appointed,  will  be  of  small  benefit  to  them. 
Meanwhile,  with  expectation  we  have  waited  for  the  Lord  and  in 
patience  alone,  through  God's  grace,  shall  we  possess  our  souls.  Nor 
do  I  speak  only  of  us  who  are  in  the  seminary,  and  whose  fortunate 
condition  scarcely  affords  opportunity  for  patience,  but  of  those 
to  whom  patience  is  much  more  necessary,  those  who  in  England 
have  for  so  many  years  lived  in  prisons,  hidden  themselves  in  secret 
places,  gone  about  in  sheepskins,  wherever  the  salvation  of  souls 
called.  And  those  outside  England,  thrust  from  their  homes  and 
so  from  their  monasteries,  and,  as  it  were,  again  exiled  from  their 
exile,  that  they  consider  it  a  great  benefit  that  they  are  expelled 
and  not  killed,  and  that  they  can  in  safety  escape  together  elsewhere. 
Among  these  are  our  nuns  at  Mechlin,  some  of  whom  this  year 
past  are  now  secretly  supported  in  England  by  Catholics  ;  and  others, 
on  the  capture  of  the  town  by  the  heretics,  lately  went  to  Rouen. 
Our  Carthusians  at  Bruges,  who  have  been  driven  hither  and  thither 
in  different  ways,  at  length  have  settled — in  misery  and  in  danger — 
at  Lou  vain,  that  is  at  the  very  city  whence  on  account  of  fear  at 
the  impending  dangers  and  the  extreme  dearness  of  all  things,  the 
rest  of  our  countrymen  have  fled  to  Namur,  Rhemes  and  elsewhere. 

sj:  The  phrase  is  a  strange  one,  "quando  voluntas  fuerit  in  coelo. 


564  RHEIMS    ANNUAL    REPORT  1579-80 

And  now  (woe  to  our  sins  !)  Paris  also  is  threatened  with  tribulation, 
so  that  those  who  want  to  travel  together  thence  out  of  England 
to  us,  as  they  daily  used  to  do,  now  on  account  of  the  pestilence, 
which  is  on  the  increase,  cannot  do  so  lest  danger  should  come 
both  upon  us  and  upon  this  city.  Very  opportunely  in  this  very 
year  the  Reverend  Mr.  Hyde,  formerly  a  distinguished  preacher 
in  Queen  Mary's  reign,  and  afterwards  an  exile  in  Belgium, 
wonderfully  consoled  all  these  in  a  certain  lengthy  epistle,  that 
is  in  his  little  book  to  all  English  Catholics,  and  among  the  rest 
lie  addresses  us,  too,  in  our  native  tongue,  in  these  words : 

'  You  who  depend  on  the  very  famous  and  renowned  seminaries 
of  Pope  Gregory  at  Rome  and  Rheims,  the  growing  hope  and 
support  of  our  falling  country."  Thus  he  wrote,  and  we  have 
applied  his  words  to  the  honour  of  God  and  His  Holiness. 
May  this  word  prove  true  in  his  mouth,  and  may  God  Himself 
perfect  to  His  glory  that  which  He  has  begun  in  us.  Certainly 
we  live  as  before  ;  we  study  as  before  ;  not  for  fear  of  the  law, 
for  there  is  none,  but  out  of  a  love  and  reverence  for  the  superior 
which  is  not  common.  Prayers,  confessions,  communions,  and 
sermons  go  on  as  was  described  in  previous  yearly  relations.  The 
less  instructed  are  catechised  ;  those  who  ought  to  be  initiated 
and  those  who  have  already  been  initiated  into  the  recitation  of 
the  Breviary  are  publicly  taught,  so  that  it  may  be  said  more  easily, 
more  exactly,  and  more  uniformly.  As  to  the  more  important 
exercises  this  year,  the  Master  of  the  Sentences  was  used,  being 
taught  first  by  Mr.  Bernard,  Doctor  of  Theology,  then  by  Dr.  Allen 
himself  after  his  return  from  Rome.  Lectures  on  the  Summa  of 
St.  Thomas  have  never  been  wanting  or  laid  aside,  being  taken 
from  all  the  best  dictates  of  the  Society  of  Jesus,  which  quite  recently 
have  been  reduced  to  a  very  brief  compass  on  questions  of  controversy 
for  the  sake  of  the  more  rapid  forwarding  and  briefer  instruction  of 
our  priests  who  are  preparing  for  England.  After  the  return 
of  Dr.  Bristow  from  his  professorship  at  Douay  (for  he  was  teaching 
the  Master  of  the  Sentences  there  in  the  absence  of  Dr.  Allen)  the 

ectures  on  the  New  Testament  were  resumed,  which  briefly  but 
clearly  explain  the  text,  and  everywhere  demonstrate  Christ  and 
His  Church  against  the  heretics.  Formerly  there  was  given  to  our 
priests  a  written  form  of  catechising  and  also  of  winning  souls. 
To  this  is  now  added  another  form  by  Dr.  Allen,  which  teaches  how 
persons  should  be  treated  according  to  their  rank,  condition,  and 
character,  in  order  to  their  conversion.  There  has  been  printed 
a  certain  table  of  divisions  in  the  Summa  of  St.  Thomas  ;  and 
now  there  is  in  the  press  and  will  shortly  be  published  a  book  by  the 
same  author,  Dr.  Bristow,  in  our  native  tongue,  answering  at 
length  the  book  of  a  certain  heretic  called  Fulk,  who,  almost  alone 
in  England,  now  dares  to  prate  in  writing  against  our  men.  More 
over,  there  has  been  published  and  disseminated  in  England  a  little 
book,  written  by  Mr.  Gregory  Martin,  Licentiate  in  Sacred  Theology, 
for  the  sake  of  those  about  to  be  converted,  on  the  subject  of  total

withdrawal  from  heretical  churches  and  discourses.  For  to  this 
one  point  many  stick  who  are  otherwise  Catholics,  and  they  think 
that  it  is  a  matter  of  small  moment,  and  one  which  can  easily 
be  allowed  and  condoned  in  them.  There  is  also  complete  but  not 
yet  published  a  very  Catholic  translation  into  the  vernacular  of 
the  Bible,  which  is  enriched  with  selected  notes  and  commentaries 
from  the  chief  Fathers  against  the  heresies  of  our  time.  These 
are  for  the  instruction  of  our  people,  who  on  account  of  importunate 
heretics  who  display  nothing  except  the  Scriptures,  most  eagerly 
demand  this  of  us,  and  are  waiting  for  it.  So  that  we  think  in  very 
truth,  and  we  experience  daily  from  many  sources,  that  no  book 
can  do  so  much  to  strengthen  us  or  even  to  convert  or  confute  our 
adversaries.  There  are  some  other  books  written  both  in  Latin  and 
in  English,  and  now  ready  for  the  press,  but  there  is  no  oppor 
tunity  of  printing  them. 

During  the  course  of  this  year  the  Right  Reverend  the  Bishop 
of  Ross,  on  account  of  his  Scots  College  now  begun  at  Paris,  asked 
us  for  our  constitutions  and  all  the  rules  of  our  College  just  as  the 
distinguished  man  Vendeville,  counsellor  of  His  Catholic  Majesty 
in  Belgium,  had  done  last  year.  What  more  need  we  write  ?  Unless 
the  fact  which  also  concerns  the  glory  of  God,  that  a  young  Londoner, 
twenty-two  years  of  age,  who  had  always  been  brought  Tip  in  heresy 
and  accustomed  to  read  all  books  of  errors,  simply  by  some  sort  of 
wish  and  desire  to  see  a  relation  whom  he  himself  did  not  know 
but  had  heard  of,  wanted,  against  the  wish  of  his  relatives,  to  cross 
the  sea,  and  to  find  his  way  to  Rheims,  though  he  did  not  know  the 
way  and  the  journey  was  all  uncertain.  He  arrived  ;  he  heard 
what  he  had  never  heard  before  ;  and  finally,  after  one  month,  he 
was  so  changed  by  divine  grace  that  he  made  his  confession  and 
communion,  and  most  devoutly  received  even  the  smallest  sacred 
signs  of  the  Catholic  Faith.  Finally,  although  pressed  by  want, 
he  was  unwilling  to  depart ;  yet  he  left  weeping,  and  intending 
to  return  a  little  later,  that  he  might  become  a  priest.  Finally, 
to  conclude  and  to  round  off  everything  with  certain  definite  figures  : 
twenty  priests  have  been  ordained  this  year,  six  deacons  and  three 
subdeacons  ;  26  were  sent  to  Rome  to  the  seminary  there,  and  51 
Rhemish  and  Roman  priests  were  sent  to  England.  To  these  a 
certain  very  skilful  physician  joined  himself,  having  first  been  made 
doctor  at  Rheims,  with  the  intention  of  devoting  all  his  care  to 
Catholics  who  are  sick.  Altogether  we  are  112  in  the  present 
Seminary.  But  behold  !  even  as  we  write  this,  letters  have  just 
reached  us  saying  that  the  Fathers  of  the  Society*  have  landed 
safely  in  England,  and  that  a  secret  concourse  took  place  for  the 
purpose  of  saluting  them,  and  hearing  them.  But  four  Catholics, 
that  about  that  time,  namely  three  priests  and  one  man  of  good 
position,  making  their  way  hence  were  taken,  and  are  still  held 
prisoners.  The  writer  added  that  it  was  incredible  except  to 
eyewitnesses,  and  not  easily  to  be  believed  how  great  was  the  harvest

in  the  City  of  London  alone,  especially  among  well-born  and  other 
young  men,  who  give  themselves  entirely  to  the  Catholic  Faith. 
But  that  there  is  much  less  hope  of  older  men  because  of  the  worldli 
ness  which  is  now  thoroughly  established  and  grown  inveterate  in 
their  minds. 

And,  see,  other  new  letters  have  come  from  one  of  our  priests 
who  has  been  imprisoned  for  some  years  already,  and  who  writes 
from  his  prison  in  these  words  :   "  There  is  great  joy  among  us  here 
because  of  the  safe  arrival  of  those  who  last  came  from  you      (he 
means  the  Fathers  of  the  Society  and  their  companions), 
is  in  close  custody  my  neighbour,  who  will  say  his  first  Mass  with  me 
(this  priest    for  certain  reasons,  crossed  over  to  England  after  1 
ordination).     "  Hart  was  discharged  on  a  surety  "  (he  setting  out 
at  the  same  time  was  also  captured).     "  We  care  nothing  for  dangers 
of  that  kind  :    the  harvest  prospers  (praise  be  to  God  !)  wnetne 
bv  bondage  or  by  liberty  :   their  faith  is  our  joy.     We,  by  the  grace 
of  God    have  cast  away  all  fear.     W7e  can  do  all  things  in  Him 
who  strengthened  us.  "  We  see  clearly  that  we  or  our  successors 
will  crush  under  foot  this  heresy  and  every  height  that  lifts  itseli 
against  the  knowledge  of  God."     Thus  he  writes. 


APPENDIX   A 

A  REPORT  BY  JOHN  FAWETHER,  THE  SPY. 
In  the  Westminster  Archives  (MSS.  Archiv.  Westmon.  vii,  215) 
there  is  a  contemporary  transcript  of  a  document  signed  by'  John 
Fawether,  containing  information  about  Douay,  which  appears  to  have 
been  meant  for  the  English  Government.  This  document,  which  is 
printed  below,  is  dated  10  April  1602.  To  appreciate  the  circum 
stances,  it  is  well  to  recall  some  dates. 

1601.  Oct.  2.  John  Fawether,  according  to  his  own  statement, 
entered  the  English  College.  The  Diary  says 
he  arrived  on  October  18. 

1601.  Nov.  29.     Ven.  Robert  Watkinson,  alias  Wilson,  his  victim, 

arrives  from  Rome. 

1602.  Mar.  24.     Christopher  Reyner  ordained  priest. 
Mar.  25.     Robert   Watkinson   ordained   priest. 

Mar.  30.     Fawether  departs  secretly  from   the  College  ac 
cording  to  the  Diary.    He  himself  says  April  3. 

April    3.     Christopher  Reyner  and  Robert  Watkinson  leave 
the  College  for  England. 

April  10.     Fawether  wrote  this  report. 

Between  April  10  and  April  15  he  meets  Robert 
Watkinson  in  London  and  betrays  him. 

April  15.     Jury  find  true  bill  against  Robert  Watkinson. 

April  20.     He  is  martyred. 

From  this  we  gather  that  the  document  was  certainly  written  on 
April  10,  1602,  and  probably  in  London.  The  question  then  arises  : 
When  and  where  and  how  was  this  transcript  made  ?  The  arresting 
circumstance  that  strikes  us  at  once  is  the  unexpected  fact  that  the 
transcript  is  in  the  same  writing  as  the  Diary  itself  from  January  1600, 
to  April  3,  1602.  The  next  curious  fact  is  that  the  last  entry  in  the 
Diary  in  that  particular  handwriting  is  the  record  of  the  departure  of 
Christopher  Reyner  and  Robert  Watkinson  on  April  3.  As  Watkinson 
was  only  a  recent  arrival  at  Douay,  the  inference  is  immediately  sug 
gested  that  Christopher  Reyner  was  the  writer  of  the  Diary  from  January 
1600,  to  April  3,  1602.  Moreover,  this  portion  of  the  Diary  shows  that 
a  great  part  of  it  was  entered  up  as  a  whole  between  March  30  and 
April  3.  For  the  entry  for  October  18,  1601,  includes  a  reference  to 
the  departure  of  Fawether  on  March  30,  1602,  and  the  entry  for  Nov.  29 
goes  on  to  speak  of  Watkinson's  ordination  on  Lady  Day  following. 
Now,  if  it  was  Christopher  Reyner's  duty  to  keep  the  Diary,  we  can  well 
understand  that  on  receiving  orders  to  accompany  Watkinson  (who 
was  then  very  ill)  to  England,  he  should  have  wished  to  complete  his 
task  before  going,  and  so  should  have  sat  down  and  written  the  Diary 
up  to  date,  including  his  own  departure  on  April  3rd.  If  he  is  the 
writer  of  the  Diary  he  is  also  the  writer  of  the  transcript,  and  one  is 
left  to  conjecture  how  it  became  possible  for  him  to  discover  and  copy 
a  report  drawn  up  by  a  spy  presumably  for  the  Government.  We 
know  that  he  arrived  in  London  just  about  the  time  when  Fawether 
wrote  the  report,  and  if  he  had  met  Fawether,  the  latter  would  certainly 
have  betrayed  him  just  as  he  betrayed  Robert  Watkinson.  But  if

DR    KELLISON'S   REPORT   TO   FLACCI. 

There  is  in  the  Westminster  Archives  (MSS.  Archiv.  Westmon.  xvi, 
635-645  s44:)  a  contemporary  transcript  of  Dr.  Kellison's  Report  to 
Flacci,  divided  up  into  two  portions,  which,  when  pieced  together, 
correspond  to  the  report  as  found  in  the  Third  Douay  Diary.  The  two 
portions  of  the  Westminster  MS.  have  no  resemblance  to  one  another, 
being  written  in  different  handwritings  on  paper  of  different  size.  The 
first  part  (pp.  635-644)  is  the  description  of  the  English  College  at 
Douay  :  De  Collegia  sen  Seminario  Anglorum  Duaceno,  which  the 
Report  itself  states  was  originally  a  separate  document  drawn  up 
for  the  information  of  the  Archbishop  of  Ban,  when  he  was  Nuntio 
Apostolic  at  Brussels.  The  second  part  (645  sqq.}  consists  of  the  rest 
of  the  Report  divided  up  into  numbered  sections.  The  title  and  the 
first  three  sections  exactly  correspond  to  the  beginning  of  the  Report 
as  printed  in  this  volume  (p.  195).  The  long  section  on  the  English 
College  is  omitted,  and  the  fourth  section  begins  "  De  Collegio  Audo- 
marensi."  In  the  Diary  this  numbering  ceases  with  the  third  section.

he  had  early  cause !  The  writer  in  the  article  in  the  Diet.  Cath.  Biog.  attributes 
it  to  the  father's  objection  to  his  son  joining  the  Dominicans.  On  the  other  hand, 
earlier  provision  may  have  been  made  for  him  ;  and  any  public  provision,  as  in  a 
will,  would  have  caused  the  bequest  to  be  sequestrated.  The  words  and  deeds  of 
Thomas  Gage,  Preacher  of  the  \Vord  of  God,  seem  a  likely  field  of  study  of 
sensationalism. 

Another  Jesuit  martyr,  the  Ven.  Thomas  Holland,  was  condemned  on  7  Dec. 
1642,  on  a  parody  of  evidence.  Francis  Newton  and  his  servant,  John  Cook,  who 
said  they  had  seen  him  "speak  to  Mr.  Smyth,  who  they  say  is  a  Jesuit  priest"  ;  whilst 
John  Wadsworth  and  "one  that  it  pains  me  [the  martyr]  very  much  to  name,  a  man 
on  whom  I  pray  God  to  have  mercy  and  to  bring  back  to  the  Church,  from  which  he 
has  apostatized  miserably, — Thomas  Gage,  an  unfrocked  Jacobin  priest,"  who 
reported  that  they  had  "seen  him  studying  at  the  seminaries  on  the  Continent  and 
nothing  more"  (Rev.  J.  H.  Pollen,  Acts  of  the  English  Martyrs}.  The  martyr  seems 
in  doubt  whether  the  last  two  were  even  present.  Bishop  Challoner  certainly  men- 
tionsfour  witnesses  in  the  case.  This  may  have  seemed  to  him  a  reasonable  reading 
of  such  evidence  as  he  had  to  his  hands  ;  and  he  may  be  right.  It  is  possible, 
however,  that  the  Bishop  may  not  have  weighed  the  value  of  some  words.  A  report 
not  liable  to  cross-examination  would  be  no  evidence,  but  only  an  ex  parte  statement, 
repugnant  to  equity  and  true  jurisprudence.  Whether  there  were  two  or  four  witnesses, 
however,  we  cannot,  in  the  face  adduced  against  Thomas  Holland  in  the  cited  Acts, 
wonder  at  Challoner's  narration  of  the  surprise  of  the  Lord  Mayor  of  London 
(Sir  Isaac  Pennington).  and  others  in  court,  at  such  a  verdict  being  found.  Only  two 
of  the  thirty-seven  convictions  were  before  Thomas  Gage  landed  at  Rye  on  29  Sept. 
1641,  and  there  may  be  some  significance  in  the  word  "  report."  By  the  description 
of  Jacobin,  it  seems  that  his  studies  had  been  at  the  Dominican  schools  attached  to 
their  church  of  St.  Jacques  at  Paris.—  J.S.H. 


APPENDIX    1). 

THOMAS    MEYNELL    OF    NORTH    KILVINGTON,  1564-1653, 
WITH   SOME   MEMBERS   OF   HIS    FAMILY. 

The  short  notice  on  pages  297-8  of  Thomas  Meynell  alias  Marken- 
rield  and  his  anonymous  father  and  grandfather,  especially  the  fifteen 
imprisonments  of  the  last,  seem  to  call  for  more  than  passing  notice. 
The  main  points  of  descent  of  the  family  at  the  time  are  sufficiently 
distinct  to  identify  each  person,  viz.: — (i)  Thomas  Meynell  of  North 
Kilvington,  a  notable  sufferer  for  religion  ;  (2)  his  eldest  son  and 
heir,  Anthony  ;  and  (3)  Thomas,  who  assumed  the  alias  of  Markenfield, 
the  eldest  son  of  Anthony,  who  did  not  succeed  to  the  estates,  owing 
to  his  death  whilst  his  two  predecessors  were  alive. 

Strenuous  advocate  as  1  am  of  restricting  our  work  to  printing  full 
records,  with  the  shortest  possible  notes  and  useful  references,  therr 
is  more  than  justification  for  calling  attention  to  and  thereby  eliciting 
facts  about  such  a  glorious  confessor  of  the  Faith.  Fifteen  imprison 
ments — fifteen  testimonies  to  God — fifteen  curbs  on  his  own  flesh  ! 
And  these  only  items,  glorious  no  doubt,  of  his  sufferings  in  his  duty, 
the  greatest  of  all  duties,  to  God.  He  might  have  saved  himself  all 
his  sufferings  by  periodical  visits  to  the  profaned  parish  church  of 
Thornton-le-Street,  where  there  was  "no  priest,  no  altar,  and  no 
sacrifice  "  as  the  people  used  to  say.  taking  a  diink  of  wine  and  a  bite 
of  bread,  which  he  knew  to  be  only  wine  and  bread ;  given  indeed  as 
such.  The  Head,  which  alone  could  confer  Christian  priesthood,  had 
been  twice  repudiated.  The  altars  had  been  twice  torn  down.  Tran- 
substantiation,  the  sacrifice,  had  been  twice  declared  an  idle  folly. 


574  APPENDIX    D 

The  sacraments  had  been  changed  into  state  functions,  administered 
by  the  state  officials  of  this  little  island.  We  ought  to  know  more 
about  such  a  man.  . 

Mr  John  Burke,  in  1833,  wrote  an  account  and  pedigree,  having 
had  access  to  family  muniments.  He  subsequently  modified  this  in 
his  Commoners,  i,  401-5  ;  but  the  information  is  scanty  and  not  free 
from  error.  We  are  not  dealing  now  with  the  pedigree  of  the  family 
in  its  descent  from  its  Norman  origin.  Settled  first  in  places  on  either 
side  of  the  River  Tees,  then  at  Hilton  in  Cleveland,  and  later  at  North 
KilviiiKton  and  the  Fryerage,  Yarm,  allied  with  much  of  the  best  blood 
of  the  district,  it  is  distinctly  a  Yorkshire  and  Catholic  family  for  eight 


e  rather  to  consider  here  matters  relating  specially  to  the 
three  persons  referred  to  in  the  Diary. 

(i)  Thomas  the  eldest  son  and  heir  of  Roger  Meynell  of  North 
Kilvinerton  near  Thirsk,  by  Margaret  his  wife,  daughter  and  coheir 
of  Rowland  Tempest  of  Holmside,  co.  Durham,  was  born  in  1564. 
He  married  twice—  firstly,  Winefride,  daughter  of  Thomas  Pudsey 
of  Barforth  Forcctt,  and  his  wife  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  John,  eighth 
Lord  Scrope  of  Bolton.  The  Pudseys  were  of  ancient  and  distinguished 
lineage  He  married,  secondly,  Mary,  daughter  of 
Gale  of  Acomb  Grange,  in  the  Ainstey,  but  by  her  he  had  no  issue 

In  the  Recusant  Roll  of  the  Exchequer  for  the  year  1592-3,  these 
er  tries  appear  •—  "  Thomas  Menncll  de  Kilvington  in  parochia  dc 
Thornton  in  Ic  Streete  armiger—  260  /».,"  and  "  Wynifrid  uxor  Thome 
Mennell  dc  Kelvington  in  parochia  de  Thornton  in  le  Streete  armigeri— 
1  80  //  "  That  is  a  full  year  of  thirteen  lunar  months  for  his  own,  and 
nine  months  for  his  wife's  refusal  to  go  to  the  state  church. 

In  Peacock's  list  of  1604,  under  "  Thornton  Streete,  are  Thomas 
Mcvnell  of  North  Kelvington,  Esquier,"  amongst  the  old  recusants  ; 
and  Thomas  Cooke,  Gilbert  Browne,  Richard  Robinson,  and  Dorothy 
Watson  spinster,  his  servants,  non-communicants  two  years;  also 
Thomas'  Lyones  and  Grace  his  wife,  for  over  a  year  ;  whilst  under 
Forcett  parish  Thomas  Lyones  and  Grace  Pearson,  his  servants,  were 
reported  as  secretly  married.  The  North  Riding  Records  (i,  66,  and  n, 
72  and  147)  give  further  notes  of  his  staunch  recusancy  m  Jan.  1606-7, 
Tulv  1614  and  July  1616.  Every  year  must  have  given  further  proofs, 
if  the  necessary  records  were  available.  A  later  evidence  of  his  con 
stancy  is  contained  in  N.  Riding  Records  (iv,  195-6)-  Thirty-nine 
inhabitants  of  North  Kilvington  were  presented  for  recusancy  at  ilnrsk 
on  4  May  1641.  They  include,—  Thomas  Mennell,  esquire;  Anthony 
Menncll,  gentleman,  and  Mary  (Thwaites)  his  wife;  Richard  Mennell 
gentleman  (the  second  son);  Hugh  Mennell,  gentleman  (third  son  of 
Anthony,  described  in  1665  as  dead  and  unmarried);  and  six  named 
I  vnas  evidently  the  same  name  as  Lyones  in  1604. 

The  family  archives  record  only  two  of  his  fifteen  imprisonments. 
In  1600  he  was  committed  to  the  Block-House,  Hull  ;  on  i  June  1601, 
he  was  imprisoned  in  York  Castle.  A  mass  of  records  in  York  Castle 
overlooked  for  years,  have  lately  been  removed  to  the  Public  Record 
Office  •  and  we  may  hope,  when  they  are  sorted,  to  obtain  further 
testimony  of  this  valiant  confessor,  and  others  like  him. 

On  5  March  1604,  King  James  I  granted  him  a  general  pardon  ; 
and  on  lo  Feb.  1626,  Charles  I  granted  him  a  like  general  pardon. 
In  1627  he  obtained  some  mitigation  by  compounding  for  his  estate* 


APPENDIX  r>  575 

regarding  the  recusancy  of  himself,  his  son  Anthony,  and  their  wives, 
at  £40  per  annum,  increased  in  1629  to  £100.  The  Parliamentarians 
finally  sequestrated  two-thirds  of  his  income  for  his  recusancy  (Yorks. 
Arch.  Soc.  Record,  xx,  120). 

Born  in  1564,  four  years  before  his  father's  participating  in  the  rising 
in  1569  of  the  Earls  of  Northumberland  and  Westmorland,  he  may 
have  remembered  that  father's  trial  for  treason.  Surviving  persecution, 
imprisonments,  and  fines,  he  lived  throughout  the  horrors  of  the  Civil 
War,  the  murder  of  his  king,  must  have  heard  of  the  persecutions  and 
ignominious  exit  of  the  Rump  Parliament,  which  he  survived  a  few 
months.  He  was  blind  at  the  time  of  his  death,  which  occurred  13  July 
1653,  aged  eighty-nine.  His  grandson,  William  Meynell  alias  Ireland, 
a  priest,  whose  name  appears  in  these  Diaries,  may  well  have  described 
him  as  "  weary  of  this  world  and  fit  for  heaven." 

(2)  Anthony  Meynell,  married  Mary,  daughter  of  James  Thwaites 
of    Long  Marston,  near  York.     We  see  him  relieved  of  some  penalties 
by  the  composition  made  by  his  father.     Again,  when  the  Parliament 
sequestered  the  estates,  their  names  are  associated,  perhaps  as  joint 
owners.     As  eldest  son  and  heir  of  his  father,  the  latter  may  well  have 
wished  to  keep  him  near  in  his  old  age,  with  blindness  perhaps  creeping 
on.     At  the  visitation  made  by  Dugdale  (Surtees  Society,  xxxvi,  95) 
on  23  Aug.  1665,  Anthony's    age  is    given  as  seventy-four   (b.  1591). 
that  of  his  deceased  son,  Thomas,  omitted,  whilst  his  grandson  and  heir, 
Roger,  was  twenty-five.     Anthony  Meynell  was  buried  at  Thornton-le- 
Strcet,  22  Sept.,  1669. 

(3)  Thomas  Meynell  alias  Markenfield,  the  student  mentioned  on 
page  297,  was  born  in  1615,  and  married,  in  1637,  Gerard,  daughter  of 
William  Ireland  of  Nostell  Priory,  in  the  parish  of  Featherstone.     By 
her  he  had  several  children,  of  whom  only  two  married — Roger,  born 
1639,  who  married  Mary,  daughter  of  Sir  John  Middletoii  of  Thurntoft  ; 
and  a  daughter,  Mary,  who  became  the  wife  of  Thomas  Brigham  of 
Wyton.     Thomas  Meynell,  dying  in  the  lifetime  of  both  his  father  and 
grandfather,  about  May  1648,  did  not  succeed  to  the  family  estates, 
as  his  son  Roger  did.     In  Lord  Castlemaine's  list  of  Catholic  officers 
slain  in  the  royal  cause  is,  "Captain  Meynel  at    Pontefract."     After 
several  sieges  the  castle  had  been  captured  by  the  Parliamentary  army 
in  1645.     Tne  Royalists  arc  known  to  have  attempted  its  recapture, 
and  they  finally  succeeded  on  8  June  1648,  when  a  number  of  persons 
secretly  armed,  under  the  command  of  Colonel  John  Morris,  after  a 
skirmish,  obtained  possession.     Garrard  Saltmarshe  (Thomas  Meynell 's 
widow)  petitioned  for  her  dower  on  17  May  1650;  the  report  dated 
four  days  later  says  Thomas    Maynell  "died  about    2  years  since'' 
(see  below).     The  Rev.  W.  Cell,  vicar  of  Pontefract,  has  courteously 
searched  his  registers,  and  informs  me  that  no  such  burial  is  recorded 
in  them. 

No  obvious  blood  relationship  suggests  itself  for  Thomas  Meynell 
taking  the  alias  of  Markenfield.  May  it  have  been  a  spiritual  one  ? 
The  Markenfields  of  Markenfield  Hall,  near  Fountains  Abbey,  in  the 
parish  of  Ripon,  lost  their  estates  owing  to  Sir  Ninian  Markenfield 
taking  part  in  the  religious  rising  of  1669.  On  21  Feb.  1625,  adminis 
tration  of  the  affairs  of  Anne  Markenfield  alias  Anderson  of  Sowerby, 
was  granted  to  Francis  Anderson,  her  husband.  And  in  1612,  Thomas 
Meynell  (the  senior  in  these  notes)  bought  the  manor  of  Sowerby, 
next  Thirsk.

Thomas  Meynell's  widow   (Gerard  Ireland)   mamed    secondly  m

w   Kec    xx   120-1)      When  she  and  Captain  Saltmarshe 
do  veVin'ioso  no  mention  was  made  of  his  religion  ;   but  if  a  Cathote 
t    he  time5  his  military  services  may  have  been  taken  as  excuse  (?) 
Her  recusancy  was  in  doubt,  but  "  no  conviction  for  recusancy  is  found 
•i«iinst    her    (Ibid.).     Their   children    and    descendants    wer

several  priests  to  the  Church.  By  maintaining  their  private  chaplam^ 
they  kept  the  light  burning  from  1690  at  least.  Ihe  Rev.  Edwan 
Crane  expressed  his  conviction  in  the  registers  that  tl  ^  m-sion  was 
certainly  founded  by  that  time.  It  was  maintained  by  the  family 
at  North  Kilvington  until  Bishop  Cornthwaite  moved  it  to  ^  Hursk 
about  1867.  It  fs  now  represented  by  a  member  of  our  >  ' 

Kdgar  Meynell  of  North  Kilvington,  to  whom  1  am  indebted

THE   SEVENTH    REPORT 


OF    THE 


Catbolic  IRecorb 
Society 


PRESENTED   TO   THE  ANNUAL   GENERAL   MEETING   AT 

ARCHBISHOP'S   HOUSE,  WESTMINSTER, 

on 
THURSDAY,  JULY   6,   1911 

Together  with  the  Roll  of  Members,  the  Constitutions,  &c. 


Constitutions 

1.  Name.  The  name  of  the  Society  is  "  THE  CATHOLIC  RECORD 
SOCIETY." 

2.  Objects.  The  objects  are  the  transcribing,  printing,  indexing 
and  distributing  to  its  members  the  Catholic  Registers  of  Baptisms, 
Marriages,  and  Deaths,  and  other  old  Records  of  the  Faith,  chiefly  per 
sonal  and  genealogical,  since  the  Reformation  in  England  and  Wales. 

3.  Management.  The  affairs  of  the  Society  are  managed  by  a 
Council  consisting  of  twelve  members  and  four  honorary  officers,  viz., 
The  Recorder,  Bursar,  Legal  Adviser  and  Secretary — four  forming  a 
quorum.     It  has  power  to  appoint  a  President  and  Vice-Presidents, 
its  Chairman  and  Officers,  and  to  fill  vacancies  on  its  own  body,  and  has 
power  to  refuse  or  take  away  membership.     One-third  of  the  twelve 
members  and  all  the  honorary  officers  retire  each  year,  but  are  eligible 
for  re-election.     Nominations  of  New  Members  of  the  Council  must  be 
sent  to  the  Secretary  fourteen  days  before  the  Annual  Meeting.     The 
representation  and  management  are  reserved  to  Catholic  Members. 

4.  Subscription.  The  subscription  is  one  guinea  per  annum,  which 
entitles  members  to  the  publications  for  the  year,  but  the  names  of  any 
members  whose  subscription  shall  be  two  years  in  arrears  will  there 
upon  be  removed  from  the  Society,  and  not  be  readmitted  until  all 
arrears  are  paid. 

Subscriptions  are  due  on  June  i  in  each  year,  and  no  work  is 
issued  to  any  member  whose  subscription  is  unpaid.  A  member 
wishing  to  retire  from  the  Society  must  intimate  his  intention  to  the 
Bursar  or  Secretary  before  the  ist  day  of  June,  or  be  held  liable  for 
his  subscription  for  the  ensuing  year. 

5.  Privileges.  The  members  are  entitled  to  the  Volume  or  Vol 
umes  printed  for  the  year  of  subscription,   no  Volume  being  issued 
to  any  member  whose  subscription  is  unpaid.     They  may  also,   on 
prepayment,  obtain  back  numbers  (if  in  stock)  on  such  terms  as  the 
Council  may  direct. 

6.  Meetings.  An  Annual  Meeting  is  held  in  the  month  of  June  or 
July,  of  which  at  least  seven  days'  notice  is  sent  to  all  the  members. 
At  this  meeting  a  report  of  the  work  of  the  Society,  with  a  statement 
of  the  income  and  expenditure,  is  presented.     This  is  issued  together 
with  the  list  of  members  and  the  Constitutions  of  the  Society. 

7.  Audit.  The  Bursar's  accounts  are  audited  by  a  member  of 
the  Society  appointed  by  the  Council,  at  the  close  of  the  financial  year, 
which  expires  on  May  31. 

N.B. — The  Bursar  deals  with  Membership  and  Subscriptions.

SEVENTH    ANNUAL    REPORT 

LAST  year,  when  the  Council  reported  Volume  IX  as  "  half 
way  through  the  press,"  it  seemed  to  be  almost  a  cer 
tainty  that  it  would  have  been  in  the  hands  of  subscribers 
before  Christmas.  We  had  counted  without  our  printers. 
It  did  not  seem  necessary  to  refer  to  previous  delays  ;  and  it 
is  with  great  mortification  that  we  have  to  say  now  that  the 
text  alone  was  only  completed  by  Christmas.  After  which 
the  Indexer  had  to  start  completing  the  index ;  and  this 
occupied  about  three  months.  To  save  as  much  time  as  possible, 
Miss  Rix  began  supplying  that  work  by  instalments  from 
25th  February,  finishing  within  a  month.  But  the  printers 
only  supplied  the  first  proofs  (equal  to  61  pages)  in  sixteen 
paltry  instalments  from  March  25th  to  May  5th.  The  whole 
has  occupied  no  less  than  twenty  months.  It  is  out  at  last. 

Volume  X  was  started  last  August,  but  the  extent  of  the 
Douay  Diaries  with  some  additions  seemed  too  large  for  one 
volume,  and  it  has  been  decided  to  issue  them  to  members 
for  the  seventh  year  in  two  volumes,  all  the  text  being  in 
type,  and  mostly  printed,  extending  to  about  600  pages.  The 
index  is  in  preparation.  Looking  at  the  size  of  the  Diaries, 
the  progress  is  more  creditable  than  that  of  Volume  IX,  if 
capable  of  improvement. 

Hitherto,  three  volumes  have  been  issued  for  each  of  two 
years,  so  this  is  an  innovation.  The  hope  of  issuing  two  volumes 
a  year  has  been  mentioned  in  previous  reports,  but  it  was  a 
question  of  membership  and  funds.  The  membership  has  not 
hitherto  warranted  it,  extending  only  to  an  increase  of  sixty- 
one  in  five  years,  whereas  a  hundred  might  have  done  so.  By 
the  time  the  question  of  ways  and  means  has  to  be  reconsidered 
for  the  ninth  year,  let  us  hope  that  increase  may  be  secured. 
The  fact  of  two  volumes  having  been  printed  for  each  of 
three  years  consecutively  ought  to  be  an  inducement  for  more 
to  join.  Alderman  Smith's  contribution  of  the  expense  of  the 
registers  of  Culcheth  and  Southworth  Halls  will  meanwhile 
make  the  third  year  easier.  Perhaps  such  a  good  example  may 
prove  contagious  ? 

The  embarrassment  over  delays,  which  in  their  turn  entail 
others,  prolonging  the  work  of  management,  together  with  the 
desire  to  formulate  a  form  of  agreement  for  printing,  embodying 
conditions  which  seem  called  for  by  experience,  have  delayed 
the  commencement  of  Volumes  XII  and  XIII,  but  it  is  hoped 
to  make  arrangements  for  them  forthwith. 

The  earlier  volumes  of  the  limited  copies  printed  being  now 
reduced  to  small  dimensions,  a  start  has  been  made  in  the 
revision  of  prices,  as  shown  in  the  new  subscription  form.  The 
process  will  be  extended  shortly. 

The  thanks  of  the  Society  are  given  to  a  number  of  kind 
helpers.  Miss  Edleston  presents  copies  of  the  Registers  of  Cliffe 


REPORT 


and  Wycliffe,  in  Yorkshire,  and  is  now  working  on  the  editing. 
Miss  Calthrop  has  transcribed  the  Recusant  Roll  of  1592,  and 
has  promised  the  transcript.  Mr.  Hunnybun  has  copied  the 
registers  of  the  Poor  Clares  of  Gravelines.  Mr.  Bartlett,  manager 
of  the  Art  and  Book  Company,  has  allowed  the  Council  to 
meet  in  his  offices.  Mr.  Andrew  has  again  obliged  us  by  audit 
ing  the  accounts.  Others  are  doing  good  work. 

With  a  Catholic  Lord  Mayor,  who  has  been  a  Vice-President 
of  the  Society  from  the  beginning,  it  seemed  appropriate  that 
we  should  meet  under  his  presidency  last  year  at  the  Mansion 
House,  a  privilege  kindly  granted  by  Sir  John  Knill,  who,  with 
Lady  Knill,  dispensed  the  hospitality  so  celebrated  throughout 
the  world.  This  formed  a  special  attraction. 

The  Society  exhibited  its  volumes  at  the  Leeds  Congress, 
but  a  set  of  the  illustrations  specially  mounted  for  the  purpose 
somehow  miscarried.  Owing  to  a  misunderstanding  we  were 
unable  to  make  the  exhibit  at  the  Catholic  Truth  Society's 
stall ;  but  the  Art  and  Book  Company  kindly  placed  accommoda 
tion  and  assistance  at  our  disposal.  A  paper  on  the  Society's 
work,  written  by  Fr.  Pollen,  was  read  by  the  Hon.  Secretary. 
Two  new  members  were  obtained. 

We  are  glad  the  additions  to  the  obituary  list  during  the 
year  have  been  few,  namely,  the  Very  Rev.  Austin  Powell,  V.F., 
who  had  been  preparing  records  relating  to  the  College  at 
Valladolid,  which  it  is  hoped  may  be  continued  for  us;  the 
distinguished  and  respected  judge,  Sir  Joseph  Walton  ;  and  the 
Right  Rev.  Monsignor  Provost  Beesley. 

We  have,  however,  to  regret  that  the  resignations  of  nine 
members  have  been  received. 

On  the  other  hand,  twenty-eight  new  names  are  added  to 
the  roll,  showing  a  net  gain  for  the  year  of  sixteen,  and  the 
total  membership  three  hundred  and  eighty-eight.  It  is  time 
that  more  Catholics  should  come  to  the  front,  help  us  to  com 
plete  the  fourth,  and  build  up  the  fifth  hundred. 

When  the  formation  of  the  Society  was  broached,  the 
Archbishop  and  twelve  others  of  the  English  Hierarchy  gave 
their  written  approval,  seven  becoming  members.  Another, 
who  had  not  signified  his  approval,  joined  later.  It  has  not 
been  usual  to  make  personal  references  to  the  many  distin 
guished  names  which  are  added  to  the  roll  ;  but  members  will 
rejoice  to  find  the  name  of  one  more  in  that  authority  which 
we  all  respect.  One  of  the  Coadjutor-Bishops  also  supports 
the  work*;  and  we  can  rejoice  in  the  active  sympathy  of  two 
of  the  Irish,  and  two  of  the  Scottish  Bishops.

Rev.  Edwin  Burton,  D.D.;  the  Rev.  J.  Gilbert  Dolan,  O.S.B.;

NOTE. — The  expenses  of  Volumes  IX,  X,  and  XI  have  still 
to  be  met. 

LEONARD    C.  LINDSAY, 

Hon.  Bursar. 


TRANSACTIONS 
OF    THE    SEVENTH    ANNUAL    GENERAL    MEETING 

The  Seventh  Annual  General  Meeting  was  held  at  Archbishop's 
House,  Westminster,  by  gracious  permission  of  the  Archbishop,  on 
Thursday,  6th  July,  1911.  The  Right  Rev.  Abbot  Gasquet  (Vice- 
President)  was  called  to  the  chair,  in  the  unavoidable  absence  of  the 
President. 

There  were  present — His  Grace  the  Archbishop  of  Westminster, 
the  Rt  Rev.  Mgr  Ward,  the  Very  Rev.  Canon  Sutcliffe,  the  Very  Rev. 
Prior  Higgins,  C.R.L.,  the  Rev.  Dr  Burton,  the  Rev.  J.  Gilbert  Dolan, 
O.S.B.,  the  Rev.  Bede  Jarrett,  O.P.,  the  Rev.  J.  H.  Pollen,  S.J.,  Miss 
Harting,  the  Marquis  of  Ruvigny,  Mr  G.  F.  Engelbach,  Mr  J.  S.  Hansom, 
Mr  F.  A.  R.  Langton,  Mr  J.  Hobson  Matthews,  Mr  C.  J.  Munich, 
Alderman  Smith  of  Barrow,  Mr  W.  B.  S.  Smith,  Mr  L.  C.  Lindsay 
(Hon.  Bursar),  and  Major  Skeet  (Hon.  Secretary). 

The  press  was  represented  by  the  London  News  Agency,  Catholic 
Publishing  Company,  Catholic  Times,  and  Universe. 

Messages  of  regret  at  absence  were  received  from  the  President, 
the  Duke  of  Norfolk,  who  found  himself  much  worn  out  with  his  Corona 
tion  work,  and  had  still  many  things  encumbent  on  him  in  the  winding 
up  ;  also  from  Admiral  Lord  Walter  Kerr  (Vice-President) ,  Miss  Edleston, 
Mr  Henry  Brierley  (Hon.  Secretary  of  the  Lancashire  Parish  Register 
Society),  Major  Chich ester-Constable,  Mr  R.  D.  Radcliffe,  Mr  Orby 
Shipley,  Mr  A.  A.  Slater,  Mr  Spedding,  and  the  Hon.  Alexander 
Wilmot. 

Abbot  Gasquet  congratulated  the  Society  on  its  continued 
progress  and  the  publication  of  its  ninth  volume.  The  paper  which 
pleased  him  most  were  the  letters  of  Cardinal  Allen,  which  threw  a 
new  light  on  difficulties  between  regulars  and  seculars  in  the  time  of 
Queen  Elizabeth.  He  was  particularly  impressed  with  the  evidences 
of  cordiality  between  the  Cardinal  and  the  Society  of  Jesus,  notwith 
standing  divergent  views  as  to  the  best  policy  to  be  adopted.  There 
was  more  sign  of  fraternal  union  than  he  expected  from  the  first  Douay 
Diaries,  edited  by  the  late  Fr  Knox,  of  the  Oratory.  It  was  well  that 
such  things  should  be  known,  after  all  that  had  been  said  and  written 
about  the  domestic  difficulties  of  that  distracted  period.  The  new 
volume  contained  a  mass  of  interesting  matter.  The  delay  in  its  appear 
ance  was  in  no  way  due  to  the  Society.  The  thanks  of  all  Catholic 
readers  was  due  to  the  contributors  and  editors  of  the  papers.  He 
considered  the  books  of  the  Catholic  Record  Society  were  second  to 
none.  He  proposed  the  adoption  of  the  Report  and  Balance-Sheet. 

The  Right  Rev.  Monsignor  Ward,  in  seconding  the  motion,  said 
it  was  not  for  the  Society  to  imitate  the  daily  Press  either  in  the  style 
and  matter — still  less  in  the  punctuality  of  appearance.  The  work  of 
preserving  these  records  of  historical  and  literary  material  was  of  more 
permanent  value,  and  required  careful  treatment.  Some  degree  of 
intermittency  in  the  appearance  of  the  volumes  must  exist,  and  he 
thought  no  subscriber  ought  to  complain  at  having  to  wait  for  such 
work  Such  work  was  worth  waiting  for. 


SEVENTH  ANNUAL  GENERAL  MEETING.  9 

Alderman  Smith  said  it  was  a  mistake  to  keep  such  a  large  balance 
as  shown  in  the  Bursar's  Statement.  The  money  should  not  be  deposited 
at  the  banker's,  but  employed  in  printing,  especially  of  Mission  registers. 
Those  in  Lancashire  were  in  danger  of  loss,  fire,  and  decay,  and  should 
be  printed  as  quickly  as  possible.  If  the  co-operation  of  the  bishops 
and  clergy  could  be  secured,  the  registers  could  be  printed  with  despatch. 

Mr.  Hansom  said  the  first  work  of  such  societies  was  to  get  to 
gether  the  funds,  and  it  would  not  be  safe  to  authorise  printing  in 
advance,  taking  the  risks  which  a  tradesman  has  to  take,  but  generally 
knows  how  to  avoid.  Some  little  reserve  was  desirable,  but  after 
payments  for  Volumes  IX,  X,  and  XI  had  been  met,  as  they  would 
soon,  it  would  be  found  that  the  surplus  was  not  great.  He  took  the 
opportunity  of  thanking  Alderman  Smith,  who,  as  a  Lancashire  man, 
had  dealt  with  the  difficulties  of  printing  in  the  most  practical  way, 
by  agreeing  to  pay  for  the  printing  of  two  registers.  Beyond  delays 
referred  to  in  the  Report,  there  had  been  some  in  starting  Volumes 
XII  and  XIII,  owing  to  difficulties  in  arranging  new  terms  of  contracts, 
called  for  by  extended  experience  of  the  work.  He  hoped  to  get  over 
that  soon. 

Mr.  Lindsay  (Hon.  Bursar)  said  the  printing  of  two  volumes 
yearly  called  for  an  increase  of  membership. 

The  Report  and  Balance-Sheet  were  adopted. 

The  Very  Rev.  Prior  Higgins  proposed,  and  Alderman  Smith 
seconded,  the  re-election  to  the  Council  of  the  retiring  members — the 
Rev.  Dr  Burton,  the  Rev.  J.  Gilbert  Dolan,  O.S.B.,  Mr  F.  A.  R.  Lang- 
ton,  and  Mr  J.  S.  Hansom,  and  it  was  so  resolved. 

Mr  Munich  proposed,  and  Mr  W.  B.  S.  Smith  seconded,  a  vote 
of  thanks  to  the  Council  and  Officers,  which  was  carried  and  replied  to 
by  Major  Skeet. 

Canon  Sutcliffe  proposed,  and  the  Rev.  Dr  Burton  seconded,  a 
vote  of  thanks  to  Abbot  Gasquet  for  presiding. 

Abbot  Gasquet  expressed  his  pleasure  at  having  been  able  to 
preside,  although  unexpectedly.  He  thanked  the  Archbishop  for 
attending  the  meeting,  as  a  marked  proof  of  his  Grace's  approval, 
amongst  his  multifarious  works,  and  begged  his  Grace's  blessing  for 
the  Society  and  members  present ;  which  being  given  the  meeting 
terminated.

NOTICES 

VOLUMES  were  posted  to  those  entitled  to  them— VIII  on  6th  June, 
1910;  and  IX  on  4th  July,  1911. 

Members  are  requested  to  call  the  attention  of  their  friends 
to  the  Society  and  its  work.  A  copy  of  the  current  subscription  form 
is  enclosed  to  members  this  year,  in  case  they  desire  to  introduce  a 
friend.  It  shows  also  how  back  numbers  are  procurable  by  members 
desiring  to  complete  a  set ;  but  it  must  be  clearly  understood  that  it  is 
liable  to  alteration  without  notice. 

Transcripts  of  interesting  unpublished  documents  ready  for  the 
press,  together  with  the  loan  of  the  originals  for  the  purpose  of  collation, 
are  invited.  It  is  desired  always  to  have  material  for  half  a  dozen 
volumes  ready  for  printing,  as  special  donations  for  printing  may  enable 
the  output  of  work  to  be  increased. 

Offers  of  help  in  transcribing  documents,  especially  in  the 
Public  Offices  in  London,  where  the  greater  part  of  the  documents 
relating  to  the  country  are  stored,  are  invited.  Parish  priests  are 
especially  invited  to  provide  exact  copies  of  old  registers  in  their  custody, 
or  give  facilities  for  this  being  done. 

Members  desirous  of  paying  through  their  bankers  can  be  sup 
plied  with  a  "  Banker's  Order,"  on  application  to  the  Bursar  or 
Secretary.
