Between the years 1611 and 1620, a number of books supporting the Jacobean Oath of Allegiance were printed in London at the instigation of the English Government. The author's name on the title-pages of these books was given generally as “Roger Widdrington, an English Catholic”, sometimes simply as “Roger Widdrington”. Some of the books were in English, others were in Latin. Taken together, they represent what was probably the most learned and formidable defence of the Oath composed by any pen then active. At that time, the common opinion of those in a position to know, both in England and abroad, was that the name “Roger Widdrington” was a pseudonym which concealed the identity of the real author, the Benedictine priest, Thomas Preston. The modern accounts of his career given, for example, by Gillow (in his ‘Bibliographical Dictionary’) and by Thompson Cooper (in the ‘Dictionary of National Biography’) accept this traditional identification.

Father Garnet's works were written in England during the last decade of the sixteenth century when the persecution of priests was at its most intense and Catholic literature was systematically suppressed. They were written anonymously and those that were printed were printed secretly, without indication of place or date. The result has been that his bibliography has remained in a state of confusion to this day. The earliest printed list of his writings, in Alegambe’s Bibliotheca Scriptorum Societatis Iesu (1643), is inaccurate and incomplete, and little attempt has since been made to supplement it. Southwell’s revised edition of Alegambe (1676) reproduces the original list without alteration. Dodd, in The Church History of England (1737–42), also follows Alegambe. The first and only attempt to check Alegambe’s list in the light of original documents is to be found in Oliver’s Collections…S.J. (1845) which gives some corrections and fresh information based on the Stonyhurst MSS. Gillow combines the findings of Dodd and Oliver, adding some speculations of his own which do not stand the test of investigation. Sommervogel and D.N.B. follow Gillow. The extent to which bibliographers blindly copy one another is not always fully realized. Before any satisfactory study of Father Garnet’s life and work can be begun it is essential that his bibliography should be re-established, if possible, from documentary evidence.

There is a notice of William Mawhood (1724–1797) in Gillow (IV. 543–4); this was included presumably because of his diary notebooks (1764–1790), which contain valuable information relating to the history of Catholicism in England during the period of the Gordon Riots. The Catholic Record Society has in preparation for issue to its members an edition of the diary covering all those matters of Catholic interest to which it refers. The editorial work on this has necessitated a study of the Mawhood family. The following pages summarise the results of that research as far as it has gone. There are a number of errors in Gillow’s account to be corrected.

In his biography of Bishop Challoner (vol.II. p.272), Canon Burton states that the Bishop died at 25 Gloucester Street (now Old Gloucester Street, Queen Square, Holborn). He does not give his authority, and it may have been an oral tradition. J. P. de Castro, in his Gordon Riots (1926) p.45, makes the same statement, probably on Burton's authority.

JOHN ABBOT, who abroad used the alias of Ashton (C.R.S. XXX, 105) and in England called himself John, or Augustine, Rivers, was born of a London family in 1588. Our chief authority for his early life is entry 289 in the Registers of the English College at Valladolid (C.R.S. XXX). From this we learn that he was aged 21 in 1609, a Londoner born of respectable but non-Catholic parents. A passage taken by Foley (VII, 1152) from the Annual Letter of the English Jesuit College of St. Omer for 1609 adds to our knowledge of his family: “The fathers … received many Protestants into the Church; among whom was an Oxford student of great talent belonging to the Aobot family (a family most hostile to the Catholic faith, two members having been its bitterest foes, viz. a bishop and a dean)”. This can only refer to George Abbot (1562–1633) who at the time of writing was Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, in 16l0 was made Bishop of London, and in 1611 became Archbishop of Canterbury (D.N.B. I, 5), and to his brother Robert Abbot (1560–1617) who in 1609, though not apparently a dean, was chaplain in ordinary to King James and in that year was made Master of Balliol College, and later became Bishop of Salisbury (D.N.B. I, 24). Both brothers published noted anti-Catholic controversial works, and George as bishop was an active persecutor of Catholics. Since the brothers were of a Guildford family, their relationship to John Abbot may not have been close, but it is perhaps significant that all three went to Balliol.
约翰·阿博特1588年出生于伦敦的一个家庭，他在国外使用别名阿什顿(C.R.S. XXX, 105)，在英国自称约翰或奥古斯丁·里弗斯。我们了解他早年生活的主要依据是《巴利亚多利德英语学院登记簿》(C.R.S. XXX)第289条。从这条记录中我们得知，1609年，他21岁，是一个伦敦人，出生于一个德高望重但非天主教徒的家庭。Foley (VII, 1152)从1609年圣奥默英国耶稣会学院的年度信中摘录的一段话增加了我们对他家庭的了解:“父亲们……接纳了许多新教徒进入教会;其中有一个很有天赋的牛津学生，属于奥博特家族(一个对天主教信仰最敌对的家族，有两个成员是它的死敌，一个是主教，一个是院长)。”这只能指乔治·阿博特(1562年至1633年)，谁在写作的时候是利奇菲尔德和考文垂主教，在1610年被任命为伦敦主教，并在1611年成为坎特伯雷大主教(D.N.B. I, 5)，并在1609年，他的兄弟罗伯特·阿博特(1560年至1617年)，虽然不是明显的院长，是牧师在普通的詹姆斯国王，并在那一年被任命为贝利奥尔学院的主人，后来成为索尔兹伯里主教(D.N.B. I, 24)。两兄弟都发表了著名的反天主教的有争议的作品，乔治主教是天主教徒的积极迫害者。由于兄弟俩都来自吉尔福德家族，他们与约翰·阿博特的关系可能并不密切，但这三个人都上过贝利奥尔大学，这可能是很重要的。

Rowland Berkeley, who bought Spetohley in 1606, was a Protestant, as was his son, Sir Robert, who died in 1656. Sir Robert Berkeley disinherited his only son, Thomas, because he became a Catholic and married a Catholic wife (c. 1649); and he left his property to Thomas's elder son, Robert, who was born in 1650, provided that when he reached the age of twenty-one he was a Protestant.
