The extracts which follow will show the reasons for the belief that Lord Howard was a Protestant, possibly at the time of the Armada, and certainly at a later period. 1559. December 17.--He was an invited guest at the consecration of Matthew Parker at Lambeth, as Archbishop of Canterbury, "and many years after, by his testimony, confuted those lewd and loud lies which the Papists tell of the Nag's Head in Cheapside."--(Fuller's "Worthies," quoted in Notes and Queries, 1st S. Three, 244.) 1604. February.--He was "at the head of a commission to discover and expel all Catholic priests."--(Memorials of the Howard Family, quoted ibidem, Three 309.--The quoter adds that Howard "was certainly a Protestant in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.") 1604. May [?] "Only we forewarn you that in the performance of these ceremonies [ratification by King of Spain of treaty of peace with England], which is likely to be done in the King's Chapel, you have especial care that it be not done in the forenoon, in the time of Mass, to the scandal of our religion, but rather in the afternoon, at what time their service is more free from note of superstition."--(King James the First to Lord Howard, then Earl of Nottingham and Ambassador to Spain. Biographies Brit, page 2679; quoted in Notes and Queries, 1st S., Three 244.)
