VII. , p. 387. 150 THE FALL OF MARY STUART Although Bedford extreme Protestant that he was did not witness the ceremony /he accompanied the prince to and from the doors of the Chapel Royal, and took part in the later celebrations. The Countess of Argyll had subse- quently to do penance for being unable to resist the double temptation of Bedford's bribe and the baptism itself, being ordered by the General Assembly in the following December to " make public repentance in the Chapel Royal upon a S...unday in time of preaching " for attending this baptism performed in a " papistical manner. " It was strange, while Darnley was only conspicuous by his absence, that Bothwell, an avowed Protestant, should have been given charge of the arrangements for the ceremony. " Bothwell is appointed to receive the Ambassadors, and all things for the christening are at his appointment, " wrote Sir John Forster to Cecil, " and the same scarcely liked with the rest of the nobility. " 1 The only incident which marred the festivities from the English point of view was Bastien's masque at the State banquet, described by Sir James Melville in his " Memoirs.
