Footnote 158: Fuller, The Church-History of Britain, ed. 1655, book x.
p. 48. The alleged reason for Mole's imprisonment, Fuller says, was that
he had translated Du Plessis Mornay, "his book on the Visibility of the
Church, out of French into English; but besides, there were other
contrivances therein, not so fit for a public relation" (supra, p.
49).
Footnote 159: Fourth Baron Wentworth of Nettlestead and first Earl of
Cleveland, 1591-1667, who became a Royalist general in the Civil War. At
the time of Wotton's letter (1609) he was completing his education
abroad after residence at Oxford. See Dictionary of National
Biography, which does not, however, mention his foreign tour.
Footnote 160: He was at once "reconciled" to the Church of Rome, entered
the Society of the Jesuits, and "died a most holy death," in 1626, while
filling the office of Confessor of the English College at Rome. H.
