He secured the success of Eliot's election, no doubt on account of strong personal friendship, as an anti-loan candidate about 1628. Bagg wrote to the Duke of Buckingham that he desired to have Eliot, Grenville, and John Arundell 'outlawed and put out of the House' ... 'for here we had Beville Grenville, John Arundell, and Charles Trevanion coming to the election with five hundred men at each of their heels.' He was one of the executors named by Eliot in his will. He was much encumbered with the debts of his ancestors, and sold (amongst other property) Brinn, his birthplace, to Sir William Noye, the Attorney-General. He objected to the Bill of Attainder against Strafford, and wrote to his fellow Cornishman, Sir Alexander Carew, 'Pray, sir, when it comes to be put to the vote, let it never be said that any member of our country (county) should have a hand in this fatal business; and therefore pray ye give your vote against the Bill.' But this Carew stoutly refused to do. He refused the summons of the Parliament 'to attend the service of the House,' pleading the King's special command to continue in his county to preserve the peace thereof; whereupon a resolution was passed disabling him from continuing to be a member. His praises, after his death, were sung, not only by his old University of Oxford, but also by Sir Francis Wortley in his 'Characters and Elegies,' in 1646; by Robert Heath, in 1650; and by William Cartwright, in 1651. THE KILLIGREWS. (Vol. ii., p. 119.) The 1st Thos. Killigrew was buried at Gluvias, not at Budock. THE ST. AUBYNS. The letter signed 'Frances Godolphin,' vol. i., p. 173, should read as signed 'Frances St. Aubyn.' _THE GRENVILLES OF STOW_, HEROES BY SEA AND LAND. [Illustration: (beginning of chapter vignette.)] _THE GRENVILLES OF STOW_, HEROES BY SEA AND LAND. 'Tell me, ye skilful men, if ye have read, In all the faire memorials of the dead, Of names so formidably great, So full of wonder and unenvied love; In which all virtues and all graces strove, So terrible and yet so sweete?' _From a 'Pindaric Ode' of 1686._ 'The four wheels of Charles's wain-- Grenville, Godolphin, Trevanion, Slanning slain.' _Old Cornish Distich._ In his 'Worthies of Devon,' Prince, no doubt willingly enough, offers a compromise with Cornwall as to the ownership of the Grenvilles, and quotes Dugdale and Fuller to the effect that both Cornwall and Devon are so fruitful of illustrious men, that each can spare to the other a hero or two, even if wrongfully deprived of her own; even Carew has a somewhat similar passage, in which he says, 'The merits of this ancient family are so many and so great, that ingrossed they would make one County proud, which, divided, would make two happy.'
