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 177: Davison's _Poetical Rhapsody_, ed. Nicolas, 1826, vol. i. p. vi. Footnote 178: _Life and Letters of Sir Henry Wotton_, vol. ii. 482. Footnote 179: _Quo Vadis, A Just Censure of Travel_, in _Works_, Oxford, vol. ix. p. 560. Footnote 180: _Life and Letters of Sir Henry Wotton_, vol. i. 70, note. Footnote 181: _A Method for Travell shewed by taking the view of France, As it stoode in the yeare of our Lord_, 1598. 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 Oxonienses_, ed. Bliss, i. p. 496. Footnote 183: Understood: "for in the pulpit, being eloquent, they," etc. Footnote 184: In volume iii. of his _Itinerary_ (reprint by the University of Glasgow, 1908), preceded by an _Essay of Travel in General_, a 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. Footnote 185: _Itinerary_, iii. 411.
