Excerpt from A Dictionary and Biographical History, or Bibliographical Dictionary, of the English Catholics, Vol. 5

His missionary labours were in London and the vicinity, and were attended with great fruit, the more so as his low stature and youthful appearance warded off the prying eyes of the priest-hunters. But at length one of these miscreants, disguised as a Catholic, apprehended him at a house in Clerkenwell on May 3, 1590. He was at once brought to the bar with another priest and fellow-collegian, Edward Jones, who had been somewhat longer in prison, and both were condemned to death under the Act of 27 Eliz., cap. 2, which made it high treason for a priest ordained by the authority of the see of Rome 'to come into her Majesty's dominions.
