Froude pursued his studies, reading all the collections of original documents in Strype and other chroniclers. Why, he asked himself should Henry, this bloody and ferocious tyrant, have been so popular in his own lifetime? Parliament, judges, juries, all the articulate classes of the community, why had they stood by him? No doubt he could dissolve Parliament, and dismiss the judges.
Before the murder Green had been appointed comptroller of the customs at Boston, and had also been employed to provide horse meat and litter for the King's stables; afterward, if we may trust a note by Strype but I own I cannot find his authority he was advanced to be receiver of the Isle of Wight and of the castle and lordship of Portchester.
Strype covers this period in his "Memorials" and in his lives of Cranmer, Cheke, and Smith; Hayward's "Life of Edward the Sixth" may be supplemented by the young king's own Journal; "Machyn's Diary" gives us the aspect of affairs as they presented themselves to a common Englishman; while Holinshed is near enough to serve as a contemporary authority.
The lower part of Saffron Hill was known at first as Field Lane, and is described by Strype as "narrow and mean, full of Butchers and Tripe Dressers, because the Ditch runs at the back of their Slaughter houses, and carries away the filth."
Strype, and the notes to the Life of Drake, in the Biographia Britannica. Few periods in French history are of greater interest and importance than that of which Sully treats in the following pages.
Strype, quoted by Dean Stephens, p. 190. He made some attempt to remove a variety of irregularities which had been introduced since the death of Sherburne, for the services of the Church had become much disordered in consequence of the many changes of attitude which had been favoured by the rulers, both civil and ecclesiastical, during nearly thirty years.
This second and enlarged edition was dedicated, in a four-page preface, to King Edward VI., and a pretty story is told of the young king's interest in the verses. The delicate and gentle boy of twelve heard Sternhold when "singing them to his organ" as Strype says, and wandered in to hear the music and listen to the words.
The case in id., Add., 1580-1625, 120-121, is an instance of where the accused was suspected of both witchcraft and "high treason touching the supremacy." Nearly all of the above mentioned references to the activity of the privy council refer to the first half of the reign and a goodly proportion to the years 1578-1582. Acts P. C., n. s., XI, 292. Strype, Sir Thomas Smith, 127-129.
"I could, in this town, buy the best pig or goose I could lay my hands on for fourpence, which now costeth twelvepence; a good capon for threepence or fourpence; a chicken for a penny; a hen for twopence?" * Lives of the Admirals, vol. i. p. 475. Digges's Complete Ambassador. * Strype, vol. iii. Append, p. 54.
Queen Elizabeth's economy was remarkable; and in some instances seemed to border on avarice. * Birch's Negot. p. 21. Strype, vol. iv. p.. 351. * Strype, vol. iv. p. 215. There is a curious letter of the queen's written to a bishop of Ely, and preserved in the register of that see.
