Note 303 — Chapter XV · THE IRISH CHURCH UNDER HENRY VIII.
Reading edition
Grey to Cromwell, Dec. 31, 1537; J. Alen to Cromwell, Oct. 20, 1538; Browne’s Letters in S.P. from 1538 to 1540; R. Cowley to Cromwell, July 19, 1538; Lord Butler to Cromwell, Aug. 26. Butler says that at the Lord Deputy’s table the vicar of Chester said the King had commanded images to be set up, worshipped, and honoured as much as ever. ‘We held us all in silence to see what the Lord Deputy would say thereto. He held his peace, and said nothing; and then my Lord of Dublin, the Master of the Rolls, and I said that if ... he were out of the Deputy’s presence, we would put him fast by the heels.... His lordship said nothing all the while. Surely he hath a special zeal to the Papists.’ For Down Cathedral, see Stanihurst.
