plague-stricken summer in Fleet arguing with the Bishops sent to reclaim
him, and then was banished. After ten years he reappeared at Court, as
amusing as ever, the protege of the Duke of Buckingham. But under the
mask of frippery he worked unsleepingly to advance the Church of Rome,
for he had secretly taken orders as a Jesuit Priest. See _Life of Sir
Tobie Matthew_, by A.H. Mathew, London, 1907.

Footnote 182: Wood records such a state of mind in John Nicolls, who, in
1577 left England, made a recantation of his heresy, and was "received
into the holy Catholic Church." Returning to England he recanted his
Roman Catholic opinions, and even wrote "His Pilgrimage, wherein is
displayed the lives of the proud Popes, ambitious Cardinals, leacherous
Bishops, fat bellied Monks, and hypocritical Jesuits" (1581).
Notwithstanding which, he went beyond the seas again (to turn Mohometan,
his enemies said), and under threats and imprisonment at Rouen, recanted
all that he had formerly uttered against the Romanists.--_Athenae

panegyric in the style of Turler, Lipsius, etc., containing most points
of previous essays in praise of travel, and some new ones. For instance,
in his defence of travel, he must answer the objection that travellers
run the risk of being perverted from the Church of England.
