wall, they were found with some theological books in a large
bundle wrapped in a sheet, which had been built into a recess in the
wall. As the papers, commencing in 1576, with a few of earlier date, end
in November, 1605, they were probably thus hidden away on Tresham's
arrest.]

livery servants as retained while the establishment was at Hoxton before

_ibid._, ccxvi. 155). Coke alluded to these manuscripts at the trial as
"certain heretical, damnable and treasonable books discovered." He said:
"There is in Tresham's book, 'De Officio Principis,' an easier and more
