Note 245 — Chapter XVI · STRAFFORD’S GOVERNMENT, 1638-1640

Irish Commons Journals; Irish Statutes, 15 Car. I.; Strafford Letters, March 16-April 3, 1639-40, ii. 394-403. The Declaration is in Nalson, i. 283. If further evidence were needed of Strafford’s complete reconciliation with the Queen, we have Madame de Motteville’s: ‘Il avait été brouillé avec la Reine, mais depuis quelque temps il était lié à ses intérêts,’ Mémoires, chap. 9. There is a useful itinerary for Strafford in the ninth volume of the Camden Miscellany. Cork says in his diary that Strafford left London very early ‘to avoid the concourse of myself and many others that desired to wait upon him,’ Lismore Papers, 1st series, v. 129.
