Page 107 note a Tierney (vol. iii. p. clvii.) gives an analysis of another memorial, which he calls “an extraordinary document,” drawn up by Parsons for the information of the pope and cardinals, and entitled “An account of the morals of some of the principal appellants.” Charges of unchastity, drunkenness, violence, and treason are there urged against several priests in greater detail and with much asperity. Tierney prints also the text of a “Memorial against the Appellants” from a rough draft in the handwriting of Parsons, presented in the name of the Archpriest's agents, April 1602, dealing mainly with the “ambition,” “sedition” and “dissolute lives” of his opponents.
