FOOTNOTES:[533]Herbert (Memoirs 62) states that he saw in Carisbrook castle a manuscript of the ‘Suspiria Regalia,’ in the King’s own hand. A not improbable supposition is, that this manuscript was delivered to Symonds, the King’s chaplain, and by him, when himself in danger, handed over to Gauden, who made the book out of it.
