^{page 226 note a} These articles of enquiry, which have no title or heading in the MS., were probably prepared by the Bishop of London. They were written after Nov. 1600 (as is shown by the references to the correspondence between Charnock and Cardinal Borghese), but before the publication of any of the appellants’ books which first appeared in print early in the following year. The marginal notes are in various hands. On folio 106 there is noted in Bagshaw's hand: “Parsons collections afore his flyghte, the Spaniards letters for the Jesuits to Rome. Parsons labouring for a redde cap.” But this can have no reference to the present document.

^{page 226 note a} This seems to refer to the opening paragraph of the preceding statement by Bagshaw (p. 208).

^{page 227 note a} Perhaps Dr. Farbeck, a doctor of medicine, who lived in Holborn but made frequent visits to Bagshaw at Wisbech, where he died November, 1598.

^{page 230 note a} This letter, dated 25 June, is in the archives of the Archbishop of Westminster and was printed by Dr. Knox in Letters and, Memorials of Card. Allen, p. 378.

^{page 232 note a} See Bagshaw's True Relation (reprint, p. 66–7). The propositions of Giles Archer, reported to the Pope, are set down in a paper signed by Cecil, Bluet, Mush, and Champney (Petyt MSS, xlvii., f. 276), and were printed in the Declaratio Motuum.

^{page 234 note a} This was probably the important letter, already referred to, written by Mush to Mgr. Morro, and printed in the Declaratio Motuum (pp. 122–142). Mush wrote to Bagshaw, May, 1599: “Desire Mr. Canerley to copye out my letter to Mr. Morus y^t is sent back by Fa. Parsons & come into the Bishop of London's hand.” Petyt MSS. xlvii. f 204, printed in Jesuits and Seculars (p. 147). In the endorsement of this letter it is noted: “The B. of London hath his Ire. to ye Cardinal.” Morro or Mora, an Italian prelate who assisted Cardinal Sega in the visitation of the English college, in 1596, was not a cardinal. The letter in question, addressed to him by Mush, lays down no conditions of yielding to the archpriest. The conditions referred to may be those laid down in the paper printed below (p. 98).

^{page 235 note a} “The copie of a letter written by F. Rob. Parsons, the jesuite, 2 Octob. 1599 to M. D. Bish[op] and M. Ch[arnock], two banished and consigned priests,” etc., and “Doctor Byshops Answere to Fa. Parsons Letter of the 9 of Octob.” 1599, were afterwards printed, with other correspondence on the same subject, in The Copies of certain Discourses, published by the Appellant priests in 1601 (pp. 49–67 and 178–186).

^{page 236 note a} The letters of Martin Array, printed below (pp. 109, 123), were dated respectively Jan. 18 and Feb. 20. The earlier letter of Dr. Haddock (p. 101) is shewn to be erroneously dated “Nov. 19,” really Dec. 19, 1598.

^{page 237 note a} Infra, p. 48.

^{page 237 note b} Note to letter of T. P. to Bagshaw, June 4, 1599, printed from the Petyt MSS. xlvii. f. 155, in Jesuits and Seculars (p. 146): “Parsons must be layd out in his coolers.”
