1. In “Τhe youth of Henry the V” an article contributed to the 2. Cornhill Magazine (1881) by Mr A. Ch. Ewald this story, upon the 3. authority of the state papers, is proved to be a fable.
   1. + It stands however on undeniable evidence that from    2. the 15^th July to the 31st August 1580 fifty thousand
   3. Catholics were arrested and severally condemned to impri-
   4. sonment, confiscation of goods, exportation, or death.
   5. I can cite numberless names of illustrious dead who    6. suffered for defending conscientiously their cause – John
   7. Cornelius, Cansfield, Robert Southwell, Henry Walpole, Thomas
   8. Bosgrave, Roger Filcock, Francis Page, Henry Garnett, Tho-
   9. mas Garnett, Thomas Holland, Rudolph Corby, Henry Mors,
   10. Richard Bradley, Cuthbert Prescott, Edmund Nevil.    11. They ended their lives among the cruelest tortures. Han-
   12. ged first on the gallows, they were next brought down
   13. “living”, to be quartered and have their bonds torn out
   14. “Ibant gaudentes” says M. Paul Féval who reports
   15. these facts in his excellent historical work on the
   16. Jesuits (Victor Palmé éditeur, Paris, 1877). – C.F.C.
