Excerpt from The History of the Gun-Powder Plot: With Several Historical Circumstances Prior to That Event, Connecting the Plots of the Roman Catholics to Re-Establish Popery in This Kingdom

That he lived and died a Papist, is evident, as it is well frlown that his last queen, Catharine Parr, who was a strict Protestant, by too eagerly opposing him in principles of colic, gion, had nearly been sent to the Tower, which she only we vented by luckily finding some, papers communicated to the' king by Gardiner, bishop of Winchester, a' most rigid, timet' serving priest, who actually came'into a garden where they were discoursing on the subject of religion, which she had artfully introduced; and entirely regained Henry' s favour, by assuring him, that if ever she had contradicted him on that subject, it was only for the pleasure she took in hearing his powerful and satisfactory answers to her weak arguments to this flattery she was at least indebted for her liberty, if out for her head, as', when Gardiner came forward with the warrant. Signed by the king, for her imprisonment, Henry peevishly bade him begone, and, on the queen's soliciting him not to be angry with the good bishop, he replied, that he deserved no favour at. Her hands, for the good he intended her. The king's death, which happened soon after, entirely freed her from any fear on the score of religion.
