Reading edition
Harriott was again coupled with Marlowe in a letter (Harl. MS. 6848, f. 176) written to Justice Young by a spy concerning Cholmely and his "crues." We may recall that at Sir Walter's trial, in 1603, Lord Chief Justice Coke branded the accused as "a damnable atheist" and denounced him for associating with that "devil" Harriott.
