Lord Arundel asked him if he would kill the King for a good Reward to which he replyed He would kill any body but the King or his Royal Brother That then the aforesaid Lord asked him the same Question again and he answered No. Then said the Lord Powis No no my Lord Arundel does onely this to try you But my Lord continued he what would you give him to kill the King 'T is worth said the Lord Arundel 2000 l. That then the Lord Powis told him he should have 500 l. to kill the Lord Shaftsbury That Mr. Gadbury told him the Lords in the Tower were angry with him as also chiefly the Lord Castlemain for that he would not kill the King when he might easily do it and no hurt befall him That here Captain Bedford was then called in and said That he was at several Clubs with Dangerfield That he was at Thompsons the Printers where was printing The Presbyterian unmask'd That Dangerfield paid Money to Dormer in S. John's That Dangerfield would have got a List of the Club at the Kings-head but the Drawer would not give it him That at the Green Dragon he got the Names of about 60 Persons that used to meet there Th●● he went with him to the Sun and Ship Taverns where he enquired if the Duke of Monmouth had 〈◊〉 been there the Night before he went away That Dangerfield said Gadbury brought him acquainted with ●●●bert Peyton That Dangerfield told him the Lord Shaftsbury Sir William Walier Doctor Tongue and others ●ad private Meetings near Fox-ball about the Plot. The Earl of Peterborough being called in and having an account of what was laid to his Charge made a very plausible Speech in answer thereto and as to the business of Sir Robert Peyton he said That Mrs. Cellier told him that among others which the had brought over to be serviceable to His Majesty and the Duke Sir Robert Peyton was one who had declared to her that he would gladly come in but that he thought the Duke of that temper that he would never forget an Injury That then he assured Mrs. Cellier the Duke was no such person and then the replyed that Sir Robert would willingly meet him at Mr. Gadbury's That they did meet accordingly at Mr. Gadbury's where Sir Robert did say that he would s●rve the King to all purposes but seemed to doubt of the Dukes being reconciled to him That afterwards he waited on the Duke at his Lordships Lodgings and from him received all the assurance of favour he coul●●enre These are the principal things that were acted before the King and Council the Result whereof was that the Earl of Castlemain first and after the Lady Powis was committed to the Tower Mr. Gadbury to the Gate-house Mr. Rigaut and Mrs. Cellier to Newgate and several others to the Custody of Messengers About this time Sir William Waller searching a House near the Arch in Lincolns-Inn Fields leading to Duby-street seized on several Habits Vestments Crucifixes Reliques and other Popish ●●●●kets all very rich as also divers Trunksand Boxes full of Books and Papers that did belong to Father 〈◊〉 lately executed wherein are set down several great sums of Money paid by him in about 70●8 years last part for carrying on the Catholique Cause as likewise many other things that confirm the truth of the Kings evidence Among the Relicks was found one great Piece of Antiquity and by computation of time near 800 years old It was a Cross of Gold weighing about 4 Ounces upon which on the one side was engraven these words Defendite Gentes ●anc partem Crucis Omnipotentis in English Defend O ye Nations this part of the Omnipotent Cross On the other side were engraven the Arms of Alfred King of England who dyed in the year 901. Besides which engraving it was empail'd with divers precious Stones of a considerable value Within the Cross was another Cross of Ebony to which the Gold one seem'd to serve onely for a Case and as if it had been a little Nest of Serpentine Idolatry the Ebony Cross was inlaid with another Cross of a quite differ●●● Wood which it is suppos'd they believ'd to be a piece of our Saviour's Cross There was also a Gold Ring with a Motto wrap'd up in white Paper upon which was written The Ring of the Bishop of Glascow with several other Curiosities which are as yet preserv'd On Novem. 5. Mr. Courtees was taken and brought before Justice Warcup who having taken his Examination sent him to the Gate-house At his Examination he gave an account of his first acquaintance with Mr. Willoughby not knowing then that he went by any other Name and that Willoughby told him that the Presbyterian were conspiring against the King and Government and were privately raising an Army and that Mr. Blood was one that gave out Commissions for that purpose and perswaded him to use his endeavour to get one and if he could do so he would bring him to the King whereby he should get 5000 l. And that upon this he made his application to Mrs. Bradley in order thereto believing what Dangerfield said and that there was really Presbyterian Plot on foot so that what he did he said was upon a Loyal Design But there is some cause to s●●pect what he said if we reflect on what Mrs. Bradley deposed on Nov. 1. and what he acknowledged now viz. That the last time Mrs. Bradley saw him asking him when they should get the 5000 l. He replied that 〈◊〉 would not meddle in it that it troubled his Conscience and that it would be Treackery if it were done and it 〈◊〉 to no purpose to meddle in it now for there is a List sound out However it be he is since bailed out of the Gate-house And for a confirmation of his Guilt is gone aside And now almost every day new Discoveries are made either of Priests or their Appurtenances Reliques and seditious Papers Dormer a Priest was seized by Dr. Oates at the Door of the Council-Chamber on Nov. 4. 〈◊〉 he was busie in discourse with the Lady Powis and was sent to Newgate On Nov. 11. Sir William Waller seized at Turner's in Holborn several seditious and scandalous Libels Popish Books and Pamphlets as also divers Beads and Priests Habits and some Reliques one of which was a very fine Handkerchief which had been dip'd in the Blood of the five Jesuits lately executed Not long after Sir William seized on one William Russel alias Napper a Franciscan Fryar and Titular Bishop 〈◊〉 Norwich With him were taken the Garments belonging to his Office as also the Form of an Oath of Abjuration for his Proselytes to this effect That they did from thenceforth renounce those damnable and heretical Doctrines wherein they had been educated and instructed and that they did oblige themselves under the penalty of Damnation to remain stedfast in the Faith of the Mother-Church of Rome c. Together with a Latin Prayer in the Margin where of was written in English Who ever says this Prayer shall be free from the Plague And several Popish Books c. On Friday Nov. 21. Sir Robert Peyton Mr. Nevil Mr. Gadbury Mrs. Cellier with her Maids and others were severally Examin'd when it was sworn that Sir Robert Peyton had had frequent Conferences with Mr. Dangerfield and the further hearing of the Matter being put off till Wednesday Nov. 26. Sir Robert was then ordered to give Bail for his Appearance at the Kings-Bench-Bar the first day of the next Term to answer to such Informations as should then be brought against him by the Attorney-General Dr. Oates during these Transactions had two of his Servants Lane often mentioned in this History and Osborn confederated with one Knox belonging to the Lord Treasurers Family against him who Indicted him for no less a Crime than Sodomy But it being proved a malicious slander and his Accusers perjured Villains who were hired by the Lords in the Tower to invalidate his Evidence the Jury brought it in Ignoramus And Dr. Oates thereupon bringing in an Indictment against them in the Kings-Bench Knox and Lane Osborn being fled were stied on Tuesday Nov. 25. When the whole Design was so particularly laid open especially by Mr. Dangerfield whose Pardon was persected the day before that every one present was convinc'd of the intended Villany and the ●ury without the Lord Chief Justice's summing up the Evidence declared them guilty of the Indictment But their Sentence is deferred till next Term. We shall here close our History with our Prayers to God 〈◊〉 bring to Light all the Dark Contrivances of Jesuits and wicked men and to their Plots and our Divisions and D●●●●●● put FINIS
