XXIII. A list of papers relating to Mary Stuart. 1587

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 December 2009

Extract

This paper, written in a contemporary hand (possibly the hand of Thos. Phelippes), appears to be a kind of index to a collection of documents relating to Mary Stuart. It is not dated, the date here ascribed to it being simply that of the most recent paper enumerated. All the papers it mentions are printed in the foregoing collection except the first, the second, the fourth and the sixth. Two of these, the second and the fourth, being proclamations, are printed by Dyson in his Collection of Proclamations ff. 238, 242. The “Subjects Petition,” the first paper referred to, is no doubt that one presented by both houses of Parliament to Elizabeth in 1586 urging the execution of the Queen of Scots. It is printed in the State Trials i, p. 1190. Serjeant Puckering's speech, the sixth reference, is probably that one which he made to Elizabeth when he presented to her the petition just referred to, an abstract of which is printed by D'Ewes p. 400 seq.
