Synopsis

Excerpt from A Briefe Historie of the Glorious Martyrdom of Twelve Reverend Priests: Father Edmund Campion and His Companions

Martin, by death and sickness, are unable to aid me, my resources are more limited than ever, for there are hardly any others who can help in this sort of work. Still I go on as best I can.

On September 3, 1582, he writes: I now send you the complete book about the Martyrs. The sheets you have already had as they were printed. We all wish that one of your college or of your society would translate it into Latin. We have no one here with a good style, and are all full of work of this sort. I must at once address myself to a new subject. Our people need intellectual nourishment of this sort, and leave me no rest. Father Robert Persons, the only person who can help me in these matters, is now otherwise and even better occupied.
