in the early history of America, is said to have been the
grandson of the Hot Gospeller. The Ms. which has chiefly supplied the
dates given above was not found until too late to correct the text. The
dates of birth, therefore, of Anne and Edward, as given in the story,
are inaccurate. Underhill lent his "Narrative" to Foxe, who is said to
have returned it without making use of it. That he made no use of it is
certain, beyond recording the day of Underhill's committal to Newgate:
but whether he ever returned it is not so certain; for it is bound with
Foxe's papers at this day, to which fact we probably owe its
preservation. In Ainsworth's "Tower of London," a fancy portrait of
Underhill is given, precisely the opposite of that which I should
sketch. "He was a tall, thin man, with sandy hair, and a scanty beard
of the same colour. His eyes were blear and glassy, with pink lids
utterly devoid of lashes; and he had a long lantern-shaped visage" (page
43). Mr Ainsworth (who evidently regards him as a grim ascetic)
proceeds, with due poetical justice, to burn our friend on Tower Green,
in 1554. I imagine that the dry humour for which Underhill was
remarkable, would have been keenly evoked by perusal of the adventures
there mapped out for him. For many of these details I am indebted to a
distant relative of the Hot Gospeller.
