READE AND CONSIDAR THE PAPISTS DESIGNE AGAINST THE PARLIAMENT and Citie of LONDON discovered By a Letter found neere White-Hall sent from L. M. a Iesuit to R. C. a Popish Lord. Which caused the Traine Bands to guard and conduct the Parliament from London to Westminster Shewing the great treachery of many Popish Recusants who intended to seize upon the Crty of London and how their plot was disanulled And describing the cause of the Citie rising in Armes to defend themselves from the Conspiracie of the Papists As also VVith the cause of the Kings Queenes and Princes departure to Hampton Court and of the great Guard that went with them for feare any danger should ensue Printed for H. F. in the yeare 1642. The Papists desygnes against the Parliament and Citie of London discovered POpery is the nurse of rebellion and the mother of disastrous discords yea the very handmaid to distructon for where Popish superstitions and Romish innovations are imbraced there rebellion is commonly fomented and where rebellion findes nutriment there is a necessary dependance of discords and in a Kingdome where discords flourish destruction cannot be farre off The treacheries which the Papists have oftentimes moulded against this Realme are numerous and the plots circumvented daily against the purity of our religion are so various that it had been confounded and supplanted long since in an absolute eradication of all sanctity if so be divers strong Pillars thereof had not supported the ponderous stratagems intended against the same by prodigious conspiracies The resolution of the Papists have bin grounded oftentimes and withall fully resolved to subvert this kingdome And the Iesuites have alwayes diligently laboured with sedulity to ruinate the Realme But both have been plotting alwayes the subversion of the Parliament if so be they could perfect their minds in any wise But alas the sage iudgements of the Parliament are so pregnant and the eye of their apprehentise intellect is to acute that it can easily dive into the hiddenest vault of their secretest plot and conspiracie For their heaven-guided mindes are taught by the supreame Director of all wisedome therefore whatsoever is pretended against them is like mists and fogges that when they arise seeme to obscure and oppose the Sunne but at its first appearance it dissipate them all Even so the plots which the Papists pretend against our Parliament are nullified as easily at the splendent and glorious appearance of the irillustrious Councels But lest I should deviate from my purpose I will in some manner relate the intended treacherie which the Papists had in tended against the Parliament Many of the Iesuites and other Recusants knowing that the Parliament was tranferred into London first at Guild Hall and afterwards at Grocers Hall did convocate their hell-nourished Councels together striving to nurse and foment some plot against them at their next returne unto Westminster Thus having so opportune a time they moulded a conspiracie but they could not get the possession againe of the Cellar so that by this meanes they could not equalize the Gun-powder Treason plot But they were resolved to provide a sudden Army and great munition of Military affaires that when as the Parliament should returne to Westminster Hal againe they would violently rush in upon them This nefarious conspiracie of theirs was discovered by a Letter sent from L. M. a Iesuite to R. C. a Popish Lord and was found by a Gentleman neere Whitehall This Letter did containe many prodigious things included in it obscurely mentioning of some private treachery which was intended against the Parliament and Citie of London and did give the Lord notice to bee absent at such a time when the plot was to bee delivered But report hereof being immediatly sent to the Committee great watch was appointed to attend on both sides of the Parliament House and carefull search about the house and the Cellar thereof But alas how all their determinated Councels were disanulled and how all their inventions were frustrated for the Parliament themselves did suspect some private treachery amongst the Papists fomented against them therefore they desired the trained Bands to guard them to the House The Watermen proffred ten thousand of them in Arms to guard them downe by water And hereupon having presented a Petition to both it was accordingly granted Thus the Parliament was conducted with irresistable forces and maugre all the intents of the Romish Recusants resolutions they returned to Westminster in great pompe sufety peace and tranquility to both houses with the plausible acclamations of the people But the Papists had not onely intended their plot against the Parliament but also against London Whereupon the Citizens having great suspition thereof doe watch day and night in defence of themselves They must have strong forces that are resolved to subvert a Citie so great and so strong and so well fortified as London is for otherwise they will seeme but as a Boy to a Giant or a Pigmy to Heroides They may proceed in their Conspiracies but I believe to little effect for there is a divine providence that sees their wicked and nafarious machinations who will never permit his people that trust in him to bee subverted by such trayterous designes The Kings Maiesty perceiving the City in such tumultuous discords and dissentions went last Munday to Hampton Court with the Queen Prince and all his royall Off-spring Divers causes did induce him thereunto first being opposed in his Maiesties pleasure by the House of Commons concerning Master Pym and other Parliament men who were impeached of High Treason but it was denyed by the House who delivered themselves as Responsall for those Members who were accused The Kings Maiesty having in his owne royall Person once or twice demanded them of the House and being still frustrated afterwards proclaimed them Traytors but the House of Commons set out a Declaration to the contrary Thus His Maiesty being crossed in his Princely intent was somewhat perplexed hereupon in his vexarious thoughts which caused his iust indignation and partly for this cause and partly for the dayly tumults and confusive nprores in the City His Maiestie departed from Westminster to Hampton Court with the Queen Prince and his Royall Progenie having at the least two or three hundred men guarding them everie man with a brace of Pistolls God grant that His Maiestie may returne againe to the preservation of peace and tranquillitie in the Kingdome Amen FINIS
