[10] _Athenæ_, iii. 902. [11] _Edin. Review_, January 1897, p. 192. [12] This is a mistake. The fine of 3,000_l._ was imposed for his part in the Essex rebellion. (See _Jardine_, p. 31.) [13] Off and on, a fortnight at the end of January and beginning of February, and then again probably for a very short time in March. [14] Fawkes was absent part of the time. [15] Mrs. Everett Green in her 'Calendar of Domestic State Papers,' adds a sixth (_Gunpowder Plot Book_, No. 50); but this is manifestly the deposition of November 17. It must be remembered that, when she produced this volume, Mrs. Everett Green was quite new to the work. She was deceived by an indorsement in the handwriting of the eighteenth century, assigning the document to the 8th. [16] The words between brackets are inserted in another hand. [17] It was not actually hired till about Lady Day, 1605. [18] Inserted in the same hand as that in which the words about the cellar were written. It will be observed that the insertion cannot serve any one's purpose. [19] Gracechurch Street. [20] A mistake for Monday if midnight is to be reckoned with the day preceding it. [21] The remainder of the draft is occupied with the discovery of the plot. [22] _Proclamation Book, R.O._, p. 114. [23] Bancroft to Salisbury, Nov. 5. Popham to Salisbury, Nov. 5--_G. P. B._ Nos. 7, 9. [24] Points and names of persons.--_S. P. Dom._ xvi. 9, 10. [25] Popham to Salisbury, November 5. (_G. P. B._ No. 10.) The P.S. only is of the 6th. [26] Narrative, _G. P. B._ No. 129. [27] In a letter of advice sent to the Nuncio at Paris, on Sept. 10/20, he is distinctly spoken of as a Catholic, as well as Worcester.--_Roman Transcripts, R.O._ [28] On July 20/30, 1605, Father Creswell writes to Paul V. that Nottingham showed him every civility 'that could be expected from one who does not profess our holy religion.' [29] The 'cellar' was not really hired till a little before Easter, March 31. [30] Second examination of Fawkes, November 6.--_G. P. B._ No. 16 A. [31] Examination of Gibbons, November 5.--_S. P. Dom._ xvi. 14. [32] "Mrs. Whynniard, however, tells us," writes Father Gerard (p. 73), "that the cellar was not to let, and that Bright had not the disposal of the lease, but one Skinner." What Mrs. Whynniard said was that the vault was 'let to Mr. Skinner of King Street; but that she and her husband were ready to consent if Mrs. Skinner's good will could be had.' 'Mr.' in the first writing of the name is evidently a slip of the clerk's, as Mrs. Whynniard goes on to speak of 'Mrs. Skinner then, and now the wife of Andrew Bright.'--_G. P. B._ No. 39. [33] Probably 'Hippesley.'
