be well considered of and digested by me and that all mistakes might be prevented as far as may be I say in regard of this I have in the present Paper reduced what I have to declare as to my Innocence and Loyalty and 't is in these following Words I Do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of Almighty God profess testify and declare as followeth That is to say 1. That I do with my heart and soul believe and own my most Gracious Soveraign Lord the Kings Majesty King Charles the Second to be my true and lawful Soveraign Prince and King in the same sence and latitude to all intents and purposes as in the Oath commonly called The Oath of Allegiance His said Majesty is expressed to be King of this Realm of England 2. That I do in my soul believe That neither the Pope nor any Prince Potentate or Forreign Authority nor the people of England nor any Authority out of this Kingdom or within the same hath or have any Right to dispossess His said Majesty of the Crown or Government of England or to depose him therefrom for any Cause or pretended Cause whatsoever or to give licence to me or to any other of His said Maâ—esties Subjects whatsoever to bear Arms against His said Majesty or to take away his Life or to do him any bodily harm or to disturb the Government of this Kingdom as the same is now established by Law or to alter or go about to alter the said Government or the Religion now established in England by any way of force 3. That I neither am nor ever was at any time or times guilty so much as in my most secret thoughts of any Treason or misprision of Treason whatsoever 4. That I did not in the Month of November or at any other time or times whatsoever say unto Mr. Oates or unto any other person or persons whatsoever in relation to my Sons in Spain or either of them or in relation to any other person or persons whatsoever That if they did continue in the World as Secular Priests of otherwise they should suddenly have great promotions in England for that things would not last long in the posture wherein they then were nor did I ever say any words to that or the like effect to any person or persons whatsoever 5.

That I did never in all my life-life-time make any Entry or Entries into any Book or Books or take or make or write or cause to be written into any Book or books or otherwise any Letter or Letters or any Copy or Copies of any Letter or Letters written by the said Edward Coleman to any person or persons whatsoever 7. That I did never in all my life-life-time enter or register into any Book or books Paper or papers whatsoever or take or make or Write or cause to be written any Copy or Copies of any Act or Acts Consult or Consults Determination or Determinations Order or Orders Resolve or Resolves or other matter or thing at any time made determined resolved passed decreed or agitated at any Congregation or Congregations Consult or Consults Chapter or Chapters Assembly or Assemblies of the Society or Order of the Jesuits or of any other Religions Order whatsoever nor did I ever see read or heard read nor did any person or persons at any time whatsoever ever Communicate unto me any such Act Consult Determination Order Resolve Matter or Thing whatsoever 8. That I did never in all my life-time to my knowledg belief or remembrane see or speak with Mr. Bedloe who gave Evidence against me at my Tryal until I saw him in that Court wherein he gave Evidence against me 9. That after the moneth of November which was in the year of our Lord 1677. I did never see or speak with Mr. Titus Oates before named until I saw him in the same Court where he gave Evidence against me at my Tryal 10. That I did never see in all my life-time to my knowledge belief or remembrance any Commission or Commissions Pattent or Patents Grant or Grants Order or Orders Instrument or Instruments Writing or Writings or other matter or thing whatsoever under or pretended to be under the Hand and Seal or the Hand or the Seal of Johannes Paulus de Oliva or any other General of the Jesuits whatsoever other then the Paper or Instrument produced and shewed unto me in the said Court at my Tryal which whether it was signed or sealed by the said de Oliva I do not know 11.

That I do believe that it is no ways lawful for me to lye or speak any thing which I know to be untrue or to commit any sin or do any Evil that Good may come of it And that it is not in the Power of any Priest or of the Pope or of God himself to give me a Licence to Lie or to speak any thing which I know to be untrue because every such Lye would be a sin against Truth And Almighty God who is perfect Truth cannot give me a License to commit a sin against his own Essence And I do solemnly in the presence of God Profess Testify and Declare That as I hope for Salvation and expect any benefit by the Blood and Passion of my dearest Saviour Jesus Christ I do make this Declaration

has he bin forc'd to fly from Chepstow by the Officers of Justice that would have apprehended him Was not Captain Spalding the now Governor there accus'd by him for a Traytor and Papist though no man could shew a more constant Zeal for the King and Protestant Religion than He only because he seis'd upon the Horses he had stoln as he would have done on him had he not then gotten away by chance Has he not committed a hundred late mean and wretched Cheats here in London even for Bread and has he not lain in Gaâ—l as Books of the Marshalsea show us for seven Mouths this very last year and reduc'd also to the Basket though the Spark were then forsooth every Noble mans Privado and the great Negotiator in the very Plot Hâ—s he not accus'd my Lord Brundel for a Grand Conspirator â—s his several Depositions Testify and most particularly in the Lords Journal and yet either his Lordships Conversion has made him as innocent as the Child unhorn or else his Worship's Testimony is lookt upon as false as it ought to be But what shall we say of this unheard of nay childish Perjury that whilst he was shirking as we see for a meer livelyhood and dipt also in the Plot as he pretends to the destruction of the King and Government he should scrupulously refuse 4000 l. to assist in the Murther of Sir Eâ— Godfrey and 2000 l. for carrying away his very body which had not bin Death though known But why should we wonder at any thing now since a man could have the Impudence to take his Oath in a high Court of Judicature to say all the Truth as well as nothing but the Truth and yet at one Trial we shall find him as you have seen in Mr. White 's lay several positive Treasons to his and Mr. Fenwick's Charge whenas in the former he seemd hardly to know them Is not Prance also a Witness of great value were there besides the extravagancy of his Tale all along no more to be urgd against him than his notorious and solemn Recantation before the King and Councel for what can render a Testimony invalid if this will not Nay our very Law which grants and supposes that there may be Knights of the Post leaves them no possibility or way to stop the mischief when begun but by making as he has done an humble and hearty Confession of their Villainy But now if on the one side we consider the Advantages he was to have by continuing an Accuser as Oates and Bedlo too plainly showd him and on the other side the Inconveniences that would necessarily ensue by a Paliâ—ode or Retraction for this was to make him a perjurd man â—n Record this was to submit him to all the Cruelties and hardships of a Prison and this was to endanger his very Neck as being an Actor by his own Confession in a great and horrid Murther I say if we consider all this can there be any equality or proportion between one Action and the other let our greatest Enemies themselves be the Judges As Pain then and Terror drove this unhappy Man as has been already hinted in the Trial to proceed contrary to the Touches of his own Conscience in this wickedness so the Motives that first induced him to it were Revenge and Profit for what mountains had the success and good fortune of the forementioned Couple Created in his Fancy and how quit did he imagin he should now be with the Queen for refusing to let his Name though he were only a Workman to the Chappel be put into the List of her servants after the late Proclamation had banished all Catholick Artizans out of Town Now for Dugdalâ— the fourth Worrthy both the Town and County of Stafford know not only what an idle and inconsiderable Companion he was but how ill he behav'd himself in my Lord Aston's service Nay my Lord took him in flagranti at last even making a Tenant a Debter who had but just before show'd his Lordship the Acquittance for his Rent This put the Fellow into the utmost Confusion especially when call'd to give up his Accounts which knowing he could not possibly do He conveighed his things out of his Chamber and went away privately by Night so that skulking a while he was in the end arrested by some Creditors and then other great Actions being enter'd against him He laid hold on the Kings Proclamation and presently knew the whole Plot with the management of it as youâ— see for several Years together 'T is with the utmost Regret my Lords and Gentlemen that I am forc'd upon this ungrateful subject but since impending Dangers have made the very Dumb to speak what Pen can stop in its Cariere when the Writer sees not only himself and Relations under the Talons of such Bloody Vultures but even his very Countrey at their Mercy also For if whole Parties may be thus devoured which of them and in England we know there are many can assure it self but the like trick may be put upon it especially seeing besides our Transcendent Loyalty and service to the Crown which two of our great Monarchs have amply own'd there was a time when Episcopacy was as much hated as Popery and a time too when Papists were far more esteem'd than any sictary whatever The Changes and Chances of time are ineffable And therefore let him that thinketh that he stands take heed least he falls nor is the Caution unnecessary when we consider the Precipice on which every good Protestant is at present plac'd for how many of them have already been either sacrific'd to the private Malice of these Birds of Prey or singled out by them to satisfy some Patron 's Revenge Nay what Patron can really deem himself secure since several that have stifly abetted them have also felt their unparallel'd Treachery and Falshood Fallacious without doubt is the World in general but most fallacious are such particular servants yet how unconceivable is it that these should impose or put the Dice on any man since their abandond and prostituted Reputation was like a smoke by day and a Flame by night to give every body warning of them But seeing the death of Sir Edmund bury-Godfrey has with many bolster'd up their dying credit some sew Considerations and Reflexions on that Affair cannot but be at present very pertinent and necessary Were it not a sufficient Assurance to any one even against the positive Testimony of ten Travellers though of some ordinary Credit That the grand SEIGNIOR did not send the VISIER here to Kill this Knight because his Death being of no import to him he would never order so vain a thing and certainly the confirmation of it would be yet greater were the Witnesses of different stories among themselves If then my Lords and Gentlemen this be enough to show the falsity of such an Evidence we have it in our present Concern and infinitely more which demonstrates the
