Her two secretaries, Nau, a Frenchman, and Curle, a Scot, were immediately arrested: all her papers were seized, and sent up to the council: above sixty different keys to ciphers were discovered: there were also found many letters from persons beyond sea, and several too from English noblemen containing expressions of respect and attachment. * Camden, p. 518.
Curle has classified their visible remains, and may, let us hope, with the aid of legislation, save those relics from the roadmaker or dykebuilder. Lastly, such superstitions, or survivals of beliefs, as remain in the north of Scotland from early days have been collected, arranged, and explained by the late Mr. George Henderson in an able book on that subject.
James Curle, Melrose, has handsomely lent me £600; he has done kindly. I have served him before and will again if in my power. December 31. Took a good sharp walk the first time since my illness, and found myself the better in health and spirits.

The lords conferred together; and a moment after the Earl of Kent inquired which ones she desired to have, saying she might be allowed six.

Sanderson did attend him, and was then the 31st of August created Doctor of Divinity; which honour had an addition to it, by having many of the Nobility of this nation then made Doctors and Masters of Arts with him; some of whose names shall be recorded and live with his, and none shall outlive it. First, Dr. Curle and Dr.
