Note 434 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
This incident has been made the subject of much criticism to the disparagement of Fox: he, however, gives it as hearsay only; and though the circumstantial details might not have been reported to him correctly, the substantial fact may be true nevertheless. Fox, too, was personally connected with the family of the Duke of Norfolk, (at whose house the scene is said to have occurred,) being once tutor in it. Strype’s Annals, pp. 110. 368.
