Reading edition
St. Leger to Cecil, Jan. 19, 1551. Deposition of Sir John Alen, March 19, in the deponent’s own hand. ‘The Bishop of Kildare (Lancaster),’ he says, ‘came to me persuading me on his behalf to put in writing the words Mr. St. Leger spoke to me in Kilmainham, to whom I made this answer, “Show my lord that albeit I love his little toe better than all Mr. St. Leger’s body, yet I will do nothing against truth.”’
