Excerpt from The Museum of Foreign Literature and Science, Vol. 21: July to December, 1832 Early in the reign of Mary, Cecil was em ployed in a mission scarcely consistent with the character of a zealous Protestant. He was sent to escort the Papal Legate, Cardinal Pole, from Brussels to London. That great body of moderate persons, who cared more for the quiet of the realm than for the contro verted points which were at issue between the Churches, seem to have placed their chief hepe in the wisdom and humanity of the gen tle Cardinal. Cecil, it is clear, cultivated the friendship of Pole with great assiduity. And received great advantage from his protection.
