Note 247 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
"There has been great store of the scum of the people who have gone this holidays to Westminster, to have down Bishops, and against Lunsford, who is now dismissed from being Lieutenant of the Tower, the King having given him £500 pension per annum, and hath invested one Sir John Biron in that place. All things are in much distemper, and I fear that they yet will grow worse."—State Papers. Letter of Capt. Carterett to Sir J. Pennington, dated London, 29th Dec.
