## Life

The ornament of Elizabethan Oxford — the queen herself had marked him — who slipped away to Douai and the Jesuits, returned disguised as a jewel merchant, and for a year preached to hunted Catholics while his ‘Brag’ and Ten Reasons ran from secret presses. Betrayed, racked three times, offered preferment to conform, he told his judges that in condemning him and his companions they condemned all their own ancestors.
