page 77 note * Hayward is here mistaken. The published correspondence of this period establishes beyond question that the passport was refused. Cecil, writing to the Earl of Sussex, says—” Many reasons moved us to myslike her passadg, but this onely served us for answer, that where she had promised to send the Quene's Majestie a good answer for the! ratification of the last league of peace made in Edenburgh, and now had sent none, her Majestie wold not disguise with her, but playnely wold forbeare to shew her such pleasure untill she shuld ratify it ; and, that done, she shold not only have free passadg, but all helpes and gratuities.”—Wright's Queen Elizabeth, i. 66. Other letters having reference to the same subject will be found in the Cabala and in the Hardwicke State Papers. The best—and certainly the most interesting—account of this transaction, and of Mary's voyage home, with which I am acquainted, is that of Sir James Mackintosh, in his History of England, iii. 53.
