Tower, made a confession in substance agreeing with this former of Fawkes's, only larger in some circumstances. I have thought good to insert the same likewise in this place, for the further clearing of the matter and greater benefit of the reader." May we not gather from this that the 'discourse' was finally made up for the press on or very soon after the 23rd? Winter, it may be noted, does not mention the name either of his brother or of Keyes. [130] _Gerard_, App. E., p. 251. [131] This note is on too small a scale to be reproduced in the frontispiece. [132] This name is given at a later time to the 'Passage leading to the Parliament Stairs' of Capon's plan, and I have, for convenience sake, referred to it throughout by that name. [133] See p. 22. [134] _Gerard_, p. 62. [135] _Gerard_, pp. 141, 142. [136] I suppose Thomas Barlow is meant. William Barlow, who was Bishop of Lincoln in the reign of James I., did not write about the plot. [137] Speed's _History_, ed. 1611, p. 891. [138] March 24th, 1604. [139] Copy of the Agreement, _G. P. B._, No. 1. [140] Pat. 44 Eliz., Part 22. [141] _Gerard_, p. 60, note 1.

[146] Pat. 4 Edw. _VI._, Part 9. [147] Pat. 6 Edw. _VI._, Part 5. [148] Pat. 30 Eliz., Part 10. [149] Parliament Place. [150] Assignment, July 17, 42 Eliz., _Land Revenue Records Office_, Inrolments v. fol. 104. I have been unable to trac Whynniard's tenure of the house I have assigned to him. It was within the Old Palace, and was probably the official residence of its keeper. Whynniard was appointed Keeper of the Old Palace in 1602. Pat. 44 Eliz., Part 22. [151] See plan at p. 81. Was this the baker in whose house Catesby tried in vain to secure a room?--'Bates's Confession, Dec. 4, 1605'; _G. P. B._ No. 145. [152] Whynniard was Keeper of the Wardrobe at Hampton Court, which would account for his servant being concerned in the Queen's removal. [153] Otherwise Parliament Stairs. [154] I suspect that this was what was afterwards known as Cotton Garden. I have been unable to trace the date at which it was conveyed to Sir Robert Cotton. [155] _G. P. B._ No. 40. [156] See p. 63. [157] See p. 90. [158] This we know from Capon's pencilled notes to the sketch in the frontispiece. [159] The late Chairman of the Works Department of the London County Council; than whom no man is better qualified to speak on such matters. [160] There are indeed old walls marked in Capon's plan beneath the ground, but we do not know of what substance they were composed or how near the surface they came. [161] Speed, no doubt, rested this assertion on Winter's evidence that 'we underpropped it, as we went, with wood.' (See p. 64.) [162] _Gerard_, pp. 66, 67.
