[Footnote 219: His visits to the hallowed
resting-places of these saints are not at all
inconsistent with the opinion which we have
ventured already to give, that he was never heard
to address in the language of prayer or
thanksgiving any other being than the one true God.
A similar feeling of love for the holy men of God,
whether he could testify that love to the living,
or merely record it for the memory of the dead,
might have led him to the installation of the
Bishop of Lincoln, and to the tomb of John of
Bridlington and John of Beverley. Henry was not a
Protestant by profession; but, compared with the
hierarchy by whom he was surrounded, he approached
almost, if not altogether, this fundamental point
of difference between the two churches, the
rejection of the adoration of any being, save the
one only God.]
[Footnote 220: Henry's prisoners of war were
dispersed among various castles and strong places
throughout the kingdom in England and Wales.
Payment is recorded, July 10, 1422, to John
Salghall, Constable of Harlech, of 30_l._ for the
safe custody of thirty prisoners, conveyed by him
from London.--Pell Rolls, 9 Henry V.]
