[edit] non-sequitur

The article says he "went to Douai to study for the priesthood. He was forced to quit due to ill health. He was ordained in 1611 and sent on the English mission the following year..." If he was "forced to quit", how did he come to be ordained without further event?

the oxford dnb says his ill health just meant that he had to return to England for a time, not that he was forced to quit. so it seems he was only 'forced to quit' in the sense of having to temporarily leave douai, not in terms of him quitting the priesthood itself
