“He sayeth that he knoweth Mr. Wright very well, _But it is about a fortnight past,[128] since he ws at his house, and since that tyme he knoweth not what is become of him._ (The italics are mine.) “He sayeth further that he knoweth not any other of his Consorts or Companyons, yf hee did he would reveale it. (Endorsed) “The examinacon of Dorathy Robinson Widdow of Spurr Alley.” Furthermore, we have the following Evidence of Mistress Elizabeth More:—— 7 Nov: 1605. STATE PAPERS DOMESTIC——JAS. I., Vol. xvi., No. 13. “The Declaracon of Elizabeth More the wief of Edward More taken the 5th of November 1605. “She saieth that the gent that lay at her howse w^{th} Mr. Rookwood this last night and the night before his name is Mr. Keyes and he took upp the Chamber for the said Mr. Rookwood. “And she saieth that uppon ffryday night last Mr. Christofir Wright came to this exaite howse w^{th} the said Mr. Rookwood and lay that night in a chamber on the said Mr. Rookwoode Chamber. (Endorsed) “5th No: 1605. “The Declaracon of Elizabeth More.” Mistress More, I find, lived near Temple Bar.[A] [Footnote A: Where was Spur Alley? and how far were Temple Bar and Spur Alley from the town-house in the Strand of the Lord Mounteagle, and therefore of his Lordship’s secretary, Thomas Ward? It will be noted by the judicious reader that the conjectured fact that Christopher Wright’s London lodgings were within a short distance of where, doubtless, his——I suggest——_brother-in-law_ (Ward) was to be found tends to support my theory.] CHAPTER XL. Before we well-nigh finally take our leave of Christopher Wright, I should like to bring before my readers two pieces of Evidence, from each of which, at any rate, may be drawn the inference that it was one of the conspirators themselves that revealed the tremendous secret. That Christopher Wright was that revealing conspirator, the manifold considerations which the preceding pages of this Inquiry have established, I trust, will satisfy the intellect of my readers, seeing that those considerations, I respectfully but firmly urge, must be held to have built up a “probability” so high as to amount to that “moral certitude” which is “the very guide” of Man’s terrestrial life, in that it furnishes Man with those sufficient rules which direct his daily action.[129] But, in bringing the first piece of Evidence to which I allude before the eyes of my readers, I desire, with great respect, to say that I am keenly conscious that I run the risk of incurring the condemnation implied in the words: “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
