7 Vatican Library, MSS. Barberini Latini, vol. 6795, no. 30. The letter is undated but was presumably sent on or before 9 May 1624, the date on Verstegan's letter.

8 Verstegan is referring to his Descriptiones quaedam illius inhumanae, published in Paris, 1583-84. Verstegan's activities and publications in Paris at this time, together with the endeavours of the English ambassador, Edward Stafford, and the help given Verstegan by the Nuncio Raggazoni are described in Recusant History, 5, pp. 70-77.
