All suspicions that the Dominicans were indulging in kidnapping were soon laid to rest when the Prior delivered his prisoner into the hands of the Cardinal Archbishop at Milan on the morning of this same July 27. So far this boy’s vocation had involved merely one Pope, four Cardinals, the Master-General, a very worried Bishop and the English Queen’s agent in Rome. But they had reckoned without the Countess. As she was living in Antwerp there was an inevitable time-lag of about a month. She was as much distressed as her apostate husband, and was to prove far more active. Perhaps it was increasing illness that prevented the Earl from further participation in the dispute. Having written to Digby and to his wife, he seems to have left the matter in their capable hands.
The Countess did not hear of the fatal news until July 28, exactly a month after Philip’s clothing. By then he was safely lodged in the Archbishop’s palace at Milan, but of course she had no inkling of that. She wrote to her husband to express her sorrow, and to comfort him with the thought that there would be at least a year before Philip could be professed. The action of the Dominicans was so manifestly unjust that a letter to the Marquis de Velada, Governor of Milan, would, she hoped, be sufficient. He could if necessary call in the authority of the Nuncio there to force the fathers to surrender their ill-gotten novice.

27 There has been some confusion as to the date of the Earl’s death, due to differences of calendars. The doctors at Padua give the date as October 4 (B.M. Sloane 203, f. 165). As the Republic of Venice did not adopt the new style till 1797, it must be presumed that they are using the old.
