The reference in the CFP is to David Mills's ongoing research into the letters of Protestant divine, Chester preacher, and Genevan exile Christopher Goodman. Goodman's letterbook contains copies of letters sent to various ecclesiastical authorities complaining about the "papist" character of the 1572 and 1575 Whitsun play performances; among these letters is a list of "absurdities" Goodman observed in the 1572 production of the cycle, absurdities that actually give us potential evidence for what was enacted in Chester's streets that year.
