From THE CORISCO CONSPIRACY (6)
“In Madrid, I spent about one month delivering Bishop Watson’s messages to his Spanish addressees and obtaining their replies. During that time, I learned a bit of the Castilian language and also studied the code with which Don Bernardino would communicate with London if the need ever arose.”

From THE CORISCO CONSPIRACY (5)
“Spain’s ambassador in London had been ordered to leave the country after being implicated in the latest attempt by Madrid to execute the Papal Bull of February 1570. That is the instrument with which Pope Pius the Fifth excommunicated Queen Elizabeth. ‘Executing’ it was code for removing her from the English throne. Alive, if possible. Dead, if necessary.”
