Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Particulars Connected With the Death of Amy Robsart (Lady Dudley), At Cumnor Place, Berks, Sept. 8, 1560: Being a Refutation of the Calumnies Charged Against Sir Robert Dudley, K. G., Anthony Forster, and Others; Read at the Congress of the British Archaeological Association, Held at Newbury, 1859
Parsons, or whoever else was the author of Leicester's Common Wealth, has drawn together a heap of the blackest enormities that the most malicious imagination could invent to lay to his charge. View him in the light that he has represented him and he will appear to have been a monster of ingratitude and treachery, dissimulation and pride, irreligion and injustice, aggravated with the repeated commission of adultery and murder, without the least intermixture of one good quality. But as many of his calumnies are evidently to be disproved, their discovery must bring a discredit upon the rest of his performance, and render the whole narrative uncertain. And, as he is farther said to have been supplied with materials from the lord treasurer Burleigh, this may furnish us with another reason to suspect his veracity. Parsons, himself, seems to have been so thoroughly convinced of the falsehoods contained in it as to have been ashamed of the composition, for when Sutcliffe1 had objected to him that he was author of certain infamous tracts, and amongst the rest this libel against the earl of Leicester, he endeavours to evade the charge by an ambiguous answer.
