There is in Jebb (vol.ii.p.

573) a letter of hers, where she throws out the same menace against him.
We find this scheme of seizing the king of Scots, and delivering him into the hands of the pope or the king of Spain, proposed by Morgan to Mary.

See Murden, p.525.A mother must be very violent to whom one would dare to make such a proposal; but it seems she assented to it.
Was not such a woman very capable of murdering her husband, who had so grievously offended her ?] [Footnote 25: NOTE Y, p.227.The volume of state papers collected by Murden, prove, beyond controversy, that Mary was long in close correspondence with Babington, (p.

513, 516, 532, 533.) She entertained a like correspondence with Ballard, Morgan, and Charles Paget, and laid a scheme with them for an insurrection, and for the invasion of England by Spain (p.

528,531.) The same papers show, that there had been a discontinuance of Babington's correspondence, agreeably to Camden's narration.
