See also note sub Emanuel, Lord Scrope of Bolton [1609]. ('^) Bp. Burnet says of him that " he was a man of a strange mixture. He had the spleen to a high degree and affected an extravagant behaviour; for many weeks he would not open his mouth till such an hour of the day when he thought the air was pure. He changed the day into night, and often hunted by torch-light, and took all sorts of liberties to himself, many of which were very disagreeable to those about him. He was a man of most profuse expense, and of a most ravenous avarice to sup- port that; and tho' he was much hated, yet he carried matters before him with such authority and success, that he was in all respects the great riddle of the age."
