It would occupy too much space, were I to set down in detail all that passed between the finding of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey's body, and the being brought to trial of the Jesuit Fathers.

But a brief summary must be given.
The funeral of Sir Edmund was held three or four days later in St.
Martin's, and the sermon was preached by Dr.Lloyd, his friend, who spoke from a pulpit guarded by two other thumping divines, lest he should be murdered by the Papists as he did it.

There was a concourse of people that cannot be imagined; and seventy-two ministers walked in canonicals at the head of the procession.

Dr.Lloyd spoke of the dead man as a martyr to the Protestant religion.
By the strangest stroke of ill-fortune Parliament met ten days before the funeral, which happened on the thirty-first of October; so that the excitement of the people--greatly increased by the exhibition of the dead body of Sir Godfrey--was ratified by their rulers--I say their rulers, since His Majesty, it appeared, could do nothing to stem the tide.

It was my Lord Danby who opened the matter in the House of Peers that he might get what popularity he could to protect him against the disgrace that he foresaw would come upon him presently for the French business; and every violent word that he spoke was applauded to the echo.
