{1} His name was Sir Thomas Falconer.
{2} This is not true, for her legitimacy was with good reason
contested.

{5} This romantic inscription probably alluded to Philip II., who

his riding through the Cloth Fair on the Eve of St. Bartholomew.
{7} The collar of SS.
{8} He probably means rushes.
{9} Her father had been treated with the same deference. It is
mentioned by Foxe in his "Acts and Monuments," that when the Lord

King on his knees. King James I. suffered his courtiers to omit it.
{10} Lord Treasurer Burleigh died August 4, 1598.
{11} She was the daughter, sister, and aunt, of Sir William, Henry,
and Sir Philip Sidney.
{12} This was a strange blunder to be made so near the time, about
so remarkable a person, unless he concluded that whoever displeased
Henry VIII. was of course put to death.
{13} This is a mistake; it was the surcoat of Edward IV., enriched
with rubies, and was preserved here till the civil war.
{14} This is confounded with the Round Tower.
{15} It is not clear what the author means by hypocaustis; I have
translated it bathing-rooms; it might mean only chambers with
stoves.
{16} The original is optici; it is impossible to guess what colour
he meant.
{17} Here are several mistakes.
{18} This is another most inaccurate account: the murderers of
Becket were Tracy, Morville, Britton, and Fitzurse.
{19} Queen Mary.
{20} Viz., Popish.
{21} "This is the work of the Lord, and it is wonderful in our
sight."

{55} Because notwithstanding many dissented from the Reformed
Establishment in many points of doctrine, and still acknowledged the
Pope's infallibility and supremacy, yet they looked not upon these
doctrines and discipline to be fundamentals, or without which they
could not be saved; and, therefore, continued to assemble and
baptise and communicate for the space of ten years in the Reformed
Church of England.
{56} The Pope.
