151. 3 Ibid. , p. 186. 416 ENGLAND'S FIGHT WITH THE PAPACY Titus Oates was true and reliable, makes it necessary to give here several extracts from the opinions of men of note, whose Protestantism is unquestioned. I have just cited Burnet and Evelyn. Now let us note what that great modern historian, Ranke, has to say on this subject. He writes : " About the plans that had been formed for the re-establishment of Catholicism in England upon the death of the King, Oates made statements which contr...adict the actual position of affairs ; they are without doubt false. Oates had been from his youth up notorious for the most shameless untruthfulness. He had a passion for startling people, and giving himself importance by boastful and lying exaggerations, which he spiced with invective on every side, and confirmed with wild oaths : he was a small man with a short neck, and a mouth strikingly out of proportion ; people were careful not to contradict him, as they were afraid of quarrelling with him.
