Reading edition
Her practical concealment of her religion may have been chiefly on her husband’s account. Father Abercromby, S.J., who received her into the Church, wrote that James I. said to her:—“Rogo te, mea uxor, si non potes sine hujusmodi (sacerdote) vivere, utaris quam poteris, secretissime, alias periclitabitur corona nostra.”Bellesheim’s Hist., p. 453.
