know what he had to charge him with offering to appear to answer for any Misdemeanour before King and Council or any lawful Judicature But at that time that mighty Traytor buoy'd up with extraordinary Expectations and full of Damnable Business was too Great forsooth to be spoken with and all the satisfaction he could get was That he was not at leisure to answer such a Fellow as he was Which Insolence to a Gentleman of his worth it may well be thought could not but move him to some Passion and amongst other Repartees he parted with these words fatally prophetick to Coleman Sirrah I shall live to see you hanged This Accident being already related in Print we took leave here to repeat it to shew that this Gentleman has long lain under the evil Eye of the Papists whose Plot being soon after discovered His Majesty was pleased again to put Mr. Arnold into Commission who vigorously discharg'd his Duty in several remarkable Services as the Discovery of the Jesuits Colledge Books c. at Combe in Herefordshire which he by Order of the Council caused to be burn'd the seizing and prosecuting that Notorious Rascal Father Lewis the Jesuit that cheated a poor Maid of a considerable Sum of money to pray her Father's Soul out of Purgatory By these and the like faithful Services he had contracted upon himself the further Malice of the Papists who frequently threatned to assassinate him particularly one Evans a Jesuit gave out that he would Pistol him but that bloody Ruffian-priest was prevented by being hang'd soon after for Treason at Cardiff in Glamorgan Shire However their implacable Spleen still reviv'd and grew more furious only waiting an Opportunity which now they thought they had obtained for some Difference happening between Mr. Arnold and one Mr. Herbert another Justice of Peace who 't is said had been an Encourager instead of a Suppresser of Papists Mr. Arnold for his ill Practices accused him to the King and Council and so came to London with several Witnesses to make good the Charge The Matter being to be hear'd at the Board on Friday the 16th of this Instant April the said Mr. Arnold was over-night viz. Thursday the 15th with some Persons of Quality at the Apollo commonly called the Divel Tavern near Temple Bar but being very mindful of his Business about ten a Clock took an Opportunity to slip from his Company desiging to step to his Council Mr. Phillips at his House in little Lincolns-Inn Fields and so return to them As he went forth he call'd to his Servants for he had two men that attended him to follow him but he going out so hastily and privately without the Company 's breaking up they did not hear not perceive him but in their Stead certain Bloody Assassinates who 't is thought had long dogg'd him up and down as their Brethren did Justice Godfrey follow'd him at the Heels he thinking they had been his own men up Bell-yard to the end of Jackan-apos Lane which supposing to be a fit place for their barbarous Designs they there fell upon him being three in number one first with a Cudgel striking him with all his Force behind on the Calves of the Leggs which making him stagger another at the same Instant flung a Cloak over his Head and so muffled him that he might not cry out they then having thrown him down made many Passes at his Body with their Swords or Daggers but not above seaven took place on him by reason of a Quilted Wastcoat that he wore made of stiff Whale-bone so that the Murderers perceiving their Weapons would not enter to kill him dead said one to another Dam the Dog he wears Armour let 's cut his Throat which accordingly they did giving him several dismal Gashes on each side but as Providence ordered it miss'd his Windpipe they likewise stampt upon his Breast and being afraid upon the opening of a Door hard by left him as they thought quite dispatcht one of them saying as he went from him Dam me ye Dog now pray for the Soul of Captain Evans This Evans was that Popish Priest we mentioned before who went by the Name of Captain and some say had some time since a Commission these Assassinates were so eager to do the work that it seems in the Dark they wounded one another for Mr. Arnold remembers one of them cry'd God Dam me ye have wounded me in the Leg. Mr. Arnold being left in this lamentable mangled Condition and disintangled from the Cloak cry'd out Murther and was soon taken up and carryed home to his Lodgings at the Post-house in Fleet-street where Chyrurgions being presently provided besides the Wounds in his Throat he was found to have received six more viz. one in the Head two in the Arm two in the Breast and one on the side as also his Breast lamentably bruis'd no less dangerous than any of them but yet by the Mercy of God he is in an hopeful way to be recovered and survive a Living Monument of Popish bloody Baseness and treacherous Cruelty His Majesty in Council next Morning being inform'd hereof upon Oath there was immediately made and printed an Order of the Board for Search and all Means to be used to discover and apprehend the Assassinates and those that set them on and graciously promising 100 l. Reward to any that discover or take any one of them and the like Reward and Pardon to any of them that should discover the Rest At the same time the Matter against Mr. Herbert being considered though Mr. Arnold was thus disabled to attend yet by Witnesses such Misdemeanours were made out that Herbert was committed to Newgate Scene 1. From this dismal Scene the second part of Godfrey's Tragedy we may observe the bloody Genius of Papists their malicious revengeful Nature and withal their Insolence that they dare thus attempt our Magistrates and hope thereby to affrighten them from their Duty For that it was done by that Party there is no room to doubt as well because of their former Menaces as especially from the words they used about Evans nay indeed from their very Principles which allow Murther of Hereticks when 't is for the Interest of their Catholick Cause And indeed how can we expect they should be merciful to our Bodies whose Souls they have already doom'd to endless Torments holding it impossible that ever one of us shall be sav'd Let me saith one of their most famous Authors be damn'd with Lucifer to Eternity if ever any Protestant see the Face of God or enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Nay the Jesuits publickly teach That 't is lawful to Assassinate any man though a Brother-Catholick that shall but give one a Box o' th' Ear or shall impair ones Credit c. much more they may butcher an Heretick that endeavours to prevent or punish their Treasons or bring their Holy Fathers to Justice This is so far from being Criminal that 't is Meritorious Secondly Again
