ink was not dry was the same hand that writ the letter to mr Ashby And my Lord in that time of converse while he was writing this mr Ashhy did give him some instructions concerning the Commission he had received of being Physician to the Army Now my Lord in some few days after there came a Gentleman for some of the Fathers from Wild● house that had the Title either of Sir Richard or Sir Robert but he was a middle-statured man and a brisk man about the age of four of five and forty and be came with Commands from the Queen for the Fathers to wait upon Her at Somerset house and I did wait upon these Fathers there was Father Har●ourt Father Kaines Father Longworth and Father Fenwick and another Father I cannot remember his Name And may it please your Lordship we did attend at Somerset house and the Fathers went in to the Queen into a Chamber where she was and I waited in an Anti-chamber and I did hear a Woman● voice which did say that she would assist them in the propagation of the Catholick Religion with her Estate and that she would not endure these Violations of her Bed any longer and that she would assist Sir Geo. Wakeman in the poisoning of the King Now my Lord when they came out I desired that I might see the Queen and so when I came in I had as I believe from her a gracious smile Now if it please your Lordship while that I was within I heard the same voice speak thus to Father Harcourt and asked him whether he had received the last 1000l and it was the same Tongue as l can possibly guess the same voice which I heard when I was without and I saw no other Woman there but the ●ueen and there were these Fathers My Lord in that very month of July Sir Geo. Wakeman was proposed 10●00l in the presence of Father Harcourt and Father Fenwick I think was there and Father Ireland L. C. J. Were you there Dr. Oates I was there L. C. J. Was this proposal made to Sir George Wakeman after this discourse you heard at Somerset house Dr. Oates My Lord I will not be positive whether it was before or after but it was near that time this 10000l he did refuse L. C. J. But you say you heard the 10000l was proffered him pray who did propose it to him Dr. Oates Ashby was to do it L. C. J. But who did it Dr. Oates It was Ashby in the name of the Provincial from whom he had received instructions so to do L. C. J. But you say in your hearing 10000l was offered him by Ashby Dr. Oates Yes my Lord L. C. J. What said he Dr. Oates He refused it L. C. J. What words did he use Dr. Oates He said it was too little L. C. J. What was the 10000l to be given for Dr. Oates To poison the King L. C. J. Were those the words Dr. Oates Yes they were L. C. J. How did the discourse begin Dr. Oates I will tell your Lordship how There was a Meeting of the Fathers for this very purpose to treat with Sir George Wakeman before Ashby went to the Bath there being a meeting they did break this business to him but what preamble they made to it I cannot remember My Lord as for the other Prisoners at the Bar Mr. Corker L. C. J. But before you go from this matter you say you know not how they brought it in but they brought it in some way he was to meet with them to that purpose and there Ashby did tell him he should have 10000 l. What Answer made he to it Dr. Oates He said it was too little for so great a work L. C. J. Is that all Dr. Oates That is all that I remember L. C. J. Did he say what he would have Dr. Oates I can't remember that but he said that was too little Lord Ch. J. Did he say he would have five more or any other Sum Dr. Oates No that was not then mentioned but there were Letters presently dispatched to Whitebread to tell him that Sir George Wakeman had refused the 10000l and then this same Whitebread did order the Fathers in London to propose five more which proposal was made to Sir George Wakeman This I speak but by hear say and it was accepted and 5000l of it received in part and Sir George Wakeman's Name was subscribed to the Entry-Book L. C. J. Did you see his name subscribed Dr. Oates Yes my Lord I did L. C. J. Where Dr. Oates To the Entry-Book L. C. J. Where was that Book kept Dr. Oates It was the Book that the Jesuits kept it was then in our custody L. C. J. Whose custody Dr. Oates The Father Custody Lord Ch. Just Whos 's particularly And at whose Chamber was it kept Dr. Oates At Wild-house Sir Ro. Sowyer Do you know who was the keeper of it Dr. Oates I cannot positively say that I suppose the Secretary and the Fathers Sir Ro. Sawyer And what did you see writ in that Book Dr. Oates That such a day which day I cannot remember but such a day in August so much was proposed to Sir G. W. and he accepted it and received it those were the words or to that purpose Lord Ch. Just Were those the words writ in the Book Dr. Oates Yes or to that purpose Lord Ch. Just Do you know whose hand writ that Dr. Oates Yes my Lord I can tell whose hand it was Father Harcourt writ those words L. Ch. Just Sir George Wakeman's hand was not to it was it Dr. Oates Yes it was just underneath Received so much money of Father Harcourt by the order of Edward Coleman now there was the Goldsmiths Name to it I cannot undertake to say who it was but in my conscience I think it was St●ley Lord Ch. Justice How much was the money Dr. Oates Five Thousand pounds L. C. J. Was Sir George Wakeman's hand subscribed to that Receipt Dr. Oates Yes it was L. C. J. Once more what were the words in the Book Dr. Oates Memorandum Such a day 15000l was proposed to Sir George Wakeman which he accepted I tell you the purport and the words as near as I can L. C. J. Was it said for what the money was proposed Dr. Oates I will not be positive in that I suppose it was Lord Ch. Just But you say it was written such a day 15000l was proposed to Sir George Wakeman and by him accepted Dr. Oates Yes my Lord and then underneath it the Receipt was written and this Receipt was written thus Received in part of this 15000l 5000l of Father Harcourt by order of Ed Coleman George Wakeman L. C. J. Was the Receipt which is said such a day the same day that the other Dr. Oates There was no other date to it L. C. J. Had the first a date to it Dr. Oates Yes my Lord it had L. C. J. What day was it Dr. Oates It was in August

was such a general design to do it is a circumstantial Evidence as to these men I call it so And these are Circumstances which may answer the Objection they make when they ●ay you are not to give credit to positive Oaths without any thing to govern you by for you have this to govern you by besides the Oath that there was a Plot. The Testimon● of Mr. Jennison does go more particularly to the business of Ireland which I would observe by the way for the sake of that Gentleman that stands so much upon the innocency of those men and would have them to be believed upon their own assertions because he says they dare not dye with a lye in their mouths I believe it is notorious enough Mr. Jennison that comes here is a man of Quality and one against whom there is no objection and he is justified by one or two more He says he saw Mr. Ireland the 19th of August when he to his death took upon him to avert he was then in Staffordshire and brought several of his own Religion who would outface it to the Court that he kept them company so many days and was in the Country all the while There was a Maid before this that came and testified that she saw Ireland saw him at his own door in Aug. but this Gentleman comes and proves it upon him more particularly and tells you when the day of the week and of the month that he was with him at his own lodging that night he came from Windsor that he was pulling off his Boots and pretended to come Post from Staffordshire so that he was in Staffordshire is true because he came th●●e Post but he hath always constantly denied that he was here that may serve for the integrity even of their dying Oaths And you are not going according to your own Doctrine so immediately to hell I hope you suppose a Purgatory where you may be purged from such Peccadellos as this of dying with a Lye in your mouths As for the testimony of the particular evidence first against Sir G. Wakeman Mr. Oates says he saw a Letter subscribed George Wakeman and it was writ to Mr. Ashby and therein among other expressions was this particular That the Queen would assist him to kill the King He was asked how he knew it was his hand he said he had never seen his hand before but afterwards he saw him ●●iting as he thinks writing in a writing posture and there he looked upon that P●●per when he was gone from it while it was wet and that Character to his thinking was just the character of the letter Now I must observe this to you First supposing it to be true yet it is some what hard for a man that had never known a mans hand in his life to see a hand to day and sometime after to come and see his hand to a Bill of Physick and to recollect the Character so much backward as to know this is that or that mans hand that I saw before 'T is one thing to know hands we are used to but 't is another thing if we see a hand that we never saw before in our lives and then by reflection at another time and by comparison of hands to say this is the same that is hard but that is supposing it to be true Sir G. Wakem as all people will that are accused does deny the fact says there was no such thing Against him besides he says he saw in a Book that the Jesuit Priests kept among them of their transactions and affairs he saw in Harcourts Chamber a Book wherein was written This day and there was a certain day in Aug. named but he cannot tell what day This day agreed with Sir G. W for 15000l to which he consented and under was written Received 5000l part of 15000l by Order of Mr. Coleman George Wakeman This he says he saw and he believes that to be the very same hand that he saw before so it is by a comparison of hands He does not charge Sir G. W. to the best of my memory with any positive thing of his own knowledg more than as I tell you of this matter Sir R. Saw Yes my Lord he says he saw his Commission L. C. J. Indeed he does say he saw a Commission in his hands to be Physitian Gene-ral of the Army that was to be raised And that he denied 10000l and would have 15. The truth I leave with you Gentlemen Look you Gent. We will shew our selves what we ought to do let them be as they will we would not to prevent all their Plots let them be as big as they can make them shed one drop of Innocent Blood Therefore I would have you in all these Gentlemens Cases consider seriously and weigh truly the Circumstances and the probability of things charged upon them There is an additional Evidence against Sir George Walkeman by Bedloe He says he saw him have a Note for 2000l which was said came from the Queen there were discourses of Doubtfull words but whether they be plain enough to satisfie your Consciences when men are upon their Lives I leave to you That Sir G. Wakeman should say Are you ready for me why am I dril'd on thus in a matter of this concern This he would have to imploy the poisoning of the King but there is but one thing that sounds any thing plain to the matter and that was this said he if they miss speaking of Killing the King if they miss at Windsor and you miss your Way then it shall be done at New-Market This he did swear directly and then Sir George Wakeman repli'd he would be ready Now if you believe this then there are two witnesses against Sir G. Wakeman for the matter of the Bill alone would do nothing But when he says he saw such a Bill it must be for something and if he did say so if they miss Killing him at Windsor and you miss your way we will do it at New-Market and he replyed I will be ready the thing is made plain I leave it to you and this is all the Evidence against Sir George Wakeman as I remember I hope my Brothers if they remember more will repeat it to you I cannot undertake to repeat every word I remember so much as is material and my Brothers I hope will help me out in what they have better observed As to Mr. Corker Oates says that he saw a Letter under his hand that is his name I suppose was to it wherein he consented to the raising the 6000l which was to be raised out of the Benedict●nes Estates and was in order to the Carrying on of this Plot. I do not find that he does prove that he did know Mr. Corkers Hand And he says of him further he was their president and so it was necessary to have his consent for the raising 〈…〉 the Murdering of the King for said he he is
