Note 365 — Chapter XXXV · THE IRISH CHURCH DURING THE FIRST TWENTY YEARS OF ELIZABETH’S REIGN.
Reading edition
Most of the documents relating to Creagh are collected in Spicilegium Ossoriense, vol. i. pp. 38-58. Holing’s account is at p. 84. The Jesuit makes Creagh’s escapes miraculous, but admits that he was on parole not to leave the Tower. This may account in some degree for the severity with which he was afterwards treated. See also a story, which may be apocryphal, in O’Sullivan Beare, tom. ii. lib. iv. cap. 10.
