Note 20 — Chapter II
Reading edition
The letter which the Nuncio left for the French General may be seen in Neves, t. ii. c. 40. “Who would have thought,” says the historian, “that England was to give an asylum to the delegate of the Holy Father? But this ought not to be wondered at, when we know that the successor of Henry VIII. has offered one to the Pope himself against the persecution of him who occupies the throne of St. Louis.”—P. 223.
