To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Father Gerard was a fast friend of Sir Everard Digby, executed for his share in the Gunpowder Plot. He was very successful in getting wealthy men and women to join, or help his Society. That Father Gerard knew about Catesby's intentions of blowing up the Parliament House, there exists no proof to be adduced. The story that he worked in the mine with the conspirators is not worthy of consideration. He undoubtedly, however, gave the Eucharist to some of the con- spirators, after they had just hel...d one of their secret conferences. He, also, was constantly in Digby 's company during the process of planning the Plot. But he does not appear to have known anything about their conference, when he gave these conspirators the Eucharist, and Digby in his last letters never mentions that he told Gerard anything about the conspiracy. In his autobio- graphy, written in after years at Rome, Gerard emphatically states that he never possessed the faintest inkling of what was going on. At the same time, even though we may readily and gladly accept his protestations of innocence, Gerard was (like Garnet) by no means a truthful man, as several extraordinary statements in his autobiography go to prove.
