^{page 89 note 2} “Lady ” Bennet's character is described by Pepys, Diary, i, 246; viii, 34. Her reputation is said to have deterred Sir Henry Bennet from adopting the title of Lord Bennet on his elevation to the peerage 14 March, 1665 (as Baron Arlington).

The list of speeches given by Cobbett is very defective. In the account of the debates in the Commons on 28–29 January in the Hardwicke State Papers (vol. ii, 401–425) Guise is credited with saying: “When fill up vacancy, the same time present a declaration. Appoint a committee, and at the same time proceed to nominate.” He was, no doubt, advocating the drafting of such a declaration as was incorporated into the Bill of Bights.

Pope, writing (3 October, 1721) from Rendcombe to Blount, brother-in-law to Guise, mentions this ballad : “…‥ I am well pleased to date this from a place so well known to Mrs. Blount, where I write as if I were dictated to by her ancestors, whose faces are all upon me. I fear none so much as Sir Christopher Guise, who, being in his shirt, seems as ready to combat me, as her own Sir John was to demolish Duke Lancaster” (i.e. Lechmere). Pope's Works, ed.
