Footnote 158:  Fuller, The Church-History of Britain, ed. 1655, book x. p. 48.  The alleged reason for Mole’s imprisonment, Fuller says, was that he had translated Du Plessis Mornay, “his book on the Visibility of the Church, out of French into English; but besides, there were other contrivances therein, not so fit for a public relation” (supra, p. 49).

Footnote 160:  He was at once “reconciled” to the Church of Rome, entered the Society of the Jesuits, and “died a most holy death,” in 1626, while filling the office of Confessor of the English College at Rome.  H. Foley, Records of Society of Jesus, vi. p. 257, cited in Life and Letters of Sir Henry Wotton, i. p. 457, note.
