Footnote 176: Such was the case of Tobie Matthew, son of the Archbishop
of York, converted during his travels in Italy. This witty and frivolous
courtier came home and faced the uproar of his friends, spent a whole
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.
