Note 275 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
Nalson, ii. 647-688. Cogan (servant to some one addressed by Nicholas as Rt. Honble.) in a letter dated Charing Cross, November 18, 1641, after relating the story told by the tailor of White Cross Street, continues—"he went with all speed to the House of Commons, unto whom being with great importunity admitted, he at large related all the aforesaid passages, and withal shewed in how many places of his cloak and clothes he was run through; and after long examination of him they sent him up unto the Lords, who in like manner questioned him a long time, and ever since there hath been a great coil about the finding out of this matter, by searching of Recusants' houses, as my Lord of Worcester's in the Strand, St. Basil Brooke's, and others. Now, whether this be a truth or an imposture, time will resolve."
