A Diurnall of Dangers VVherein are manifested and brought to light many great and unheard-of Discoveries To the Admiration of all who have Eares to heare or strong hearts to endure Found out and Published in the Yeare of Just Jealousies Apparant Plots Fatall Feares And Single Securities 1642. VVritten by T. J. Printed at London for E. Christopher A Diurnall of Dangers SOme conceive and not without just cause that there is a great division in this Kingdome of England divided into two Parties the Malignant and the Well-affected but for my own part who they be that be Malignant or well-affected I am utterly ignorant that there be Malignant I doe not much doubt of but who are or ought to be the well-affected I leave to censure Betwixt these two I am confident there are halfe as many Neuters men se basely indifferent and of such timerous natures that aiming to serve God and Mammon it being too hard a taske they resolve truly to serve neither but write themselves the servants of the Time These be they who in times of Action no question will be dangerous and as they think securely mischievous because they pronounce a faire and submissive friendship both to the right hand and to the left I could wish that when they are found out because we may the better know them again they may be distinguished by some queint mark as a K. and a P. and the picture of a Round-cut head on one shoulder and the forme of a golden Coronet on the other any thing so it may make a distinction that whilst one party is striking at the Crown the other may be breaking of the pate And by this means John Indifferent wil be indifferently wel knockt as when you shall heare their barbarous and inhumane plots you will say they are worthy on t and that it is pity they should live Munday IT was really reported that last Munday was Senight early in the morning before the valiant Prentices came to exercise in the Artillery-ground by Moore-Fields that a crew of these Neuters had planted in the 6. Windmils 6. Peeces of Ordnance charged with white powder to the end there might be no Report heard from the Peeces when they intended their monstrous and bloudy execution though against whom on man can yet directly tell but being mounted with their muzzles towards Shoreditch it was reported by a very understanding man of a Citizen that as sure as we live their full intention was to batter down Bow and make pillage of the green Geese and nothing he said grieved him so much as that his wife and children would be like to suffer in the flock Another Gentleman in scarlet a Soap-boylers man standing by having a little better skill in Military affaires gave his opinion that if they had intended such a businesse their onely way had been to beat down Shoreditch for after that it was ten to one but Bow would yeeld the town up where they might fortifie themselves against Black-wall Limus and Ratcliffe having taken them they might easily purchase shipping and with those ships take Greenwich the Castle Another Cavalier being next him with a buffe coat which he constantly wore when he was a brown-baker gave his opinion that his friend had censured weil and bolted out sufficient judgement for sayes he do ye mark me having taken the Castle they might easily shoot down Saint Toolies and then it were a thing of nothing to plant Ordnance upon Saint Mary Overies Church against the Tower This Baker for his junhement was presen●ly laid hands on as a conspirator and so it happened for without the rack he confest that his Miller drew him into the plot who all this while thought himselfe as secure as a theefe in a mil but the baker to redeeme his credit ventured up the woodden Fort and puld the miller downe by the heeles whose braines gave a rebound upon every staire After this they discovered themselves and as it happened the Ring-leader of all this conspiracie was a fat stradling fellow they cald him Captain Tripes whose ambitious venture was onely for honour that he might forsooth be suddainly advanced from a Serjeant to a Captain yet for his good service he was not absolutely doomd to perpetuall imprisonment but confined to live by a prison all dayes of his life and to have no mnat alowed him but what he can get by the catch at which it seemes he hath been old dogg at These conspirators thus miraculously taken the 6. Ordnance were dismounted and by a dozen chosen strong men carried closely back again to Tower wharfe from whence the night before he brought them The policie of these mens planting Ordnance in the Windmils was because their forts should turne according to their Religion they being Neuters that if there should be any battail betweene Bow and Higate they might winde to the stronger side but since we have by providence escaped this great and iminent danger it shall become us to be thankful make bone-fires and drinke till with maudlin joy our teares extinguish the firebrands Tuesday THis first attempt fayling they practised fresh inventions new conspiracies their mischiefe grows as faithfull as the round heads of Hidra whose every lop causeth the springing of another head whether some of these late honest volenteeres must bee put in Guarrison in these small Villages about the Citie for the oecessary safeguard of it or whether it be the conspirators jelousie for they that are bad themselves daily ground jelousies upon others what is the cause I know not but the Tuesday night following these contrivers these Covenanters 20. of them pretended to be merry note the villanie of these rogues because it was neer Islington thought it a Guarrison Towne and knew they should have good ale and cakes for pillage impudent villains that dare pillage their own Countrey went all into the water-house and called in freely for all varieties spared no cost a pox on them they knew how to come by it again the Master of the house though it were mid-night was loath to put them out again especially being such profitable guests Yet having been up the night before desired they would excuse him and suffer him to goe to bed cunning Traitors they were presently as willing as he that they might act their deede of darknes their helbred purpose for now comes on the horror of it the servant being drunke a sleepe they got with all speede about their businesse in came the hundred barrels of gunpowder the cunning pioners had sprung a mine under the water by which they had accesse to through the cellar when they had laid the barrels under water made their traines sure and were ready to fire the match a damp put the candle out and as good luck would have it there was no fire in the house one of them steps to Clarken-well to fetch fire which when hee had the watch seeing a man run hastily with fire to Islington
