 to the Paul's repertory. Heywood could not adapt himself again to a Protestant England, and soon left the country. Sebastian Westcott was more fortunate. In 1560 he was appointed as Head of the College of Minor Canons or Subdean. Shortly afterwards, being unable to accept the religious settlement, he was sentenced to deprivation of his offices, which included that of organist, but escaped through the personal influence of Elizabeth, in spite of some searchings of the heart of Bishop Grindal as to his suitability to be an instructor of youth. In fact he succeeded in remaining songmaster of Paul's for the next twenty-three years, and during that period brought his boys to Court no less than twenty-seven times, furnishing a far larger share of the royal Christmas entertainment, especially during the first decade of the reign, than any other single company. The chronicle of his plays must now be given. There was one at each of the Christmases of 1560-1 and 1561-2, one between 6 January and 9 March 1562, and one at the Christmas of 1562-3. During the next winter the plague stopped London plays. At the Christmas of 1564-5 there were two by the Paul's boys, of which the second fell on 2 January, and at that of 1565-6 three, two at Court and one at the Lady Cecilia's lodging in the Savoy. There were two again at each of the Christmases of 1566-7 and 1567-8, and one on 1 January 1569. During the winter of 1569-70 the company was, exceptionally, absent from Court. They reappeared on 28 December 1570, and again at Shrovetide (25-7 February) 1571. On 28 December 1571 they gave the 'tragedy' of Iphigenia, which Professor Wallace identifies with the comedy called The Bugbears, but which might, for the matter of that, be Lady Lumley's translation from the Greek of Euripides. At the Christmas of 1572-3 they played before 7 January.
