ABSTRACT
The fourth chapter addresses the significance of the Jesuit mission to England on the practices and focus of the intelligence network under the guidance of Francis Walsingham, including overviews of the workings of the intelligence service around the Throckmorton Plot and the treason of William Parry. The chapter also includes an analysis of the early anti-Jesuit work being conducted by Walsingham's spies, based largely on an account of intelligence gathering and espionage conducted by Anthony Munday and published as The English Romayne Lyfe. Munday's work as a spy and pursuivant provides evidence of the typical praxis of spycraft, including deception, intelligence gathering, apprehension, testimony, and the production of propaganda.
