During Mary’s captivity in England, he paid her frequent visits and was untiring in his efforts to do her all the service in his power. After her death he published a long exposure of her treatment in prison, interspersed with passionate denunciations of her enemies, especially Knox and Queen Elizabeth. The book is of special interest as a graphic presentation of the sentiments and feelings which her pitiable fate aroused in her devoted adherents.
