soon after Mrs. Ayray went to the Tower That at Powis-house he has often seen Mr. Dangerfield Mrs. Cellier and others writing That Mr. Lane lay in the house and that Mrs. Cellier was once much concerned when she thought him lost That Dangerfield once asked him if he could make a Printing-Press That he went to the Gate-house once or twice with Mrs. Ayray who carried Money to the Prisoners That by the Lady Powis's Order he made a private place in Powis-house To all these Depositions the Lady Powis being called in answered particularly To Susan Edwards That when she came to Mrs. Cellier she never lighted from her Coach To Woodman That she never receiv'd a Letter from Nevil or sent one to him That she had received several from Mrs. Cellier and perhaps she might have received one from Dangerfield That going to see the Lady Gage in the Kings-Bench some body pointed to Nevil as he stood at the Window And excepting once she never saw him besides that time To Duddel That Mrs. Ayray did bring her some Remarks upon Langhorns Tryal but she never saw any thing from Nevil To Mrs. Ayray That she never brought her any Message from Nevil Being demanded whether Mrs. Cellier had not been with her in the Tower from Mr. Willoughby She answered Yes but that she never saw Willoughby but twice Hereupon Mrs. Cellier being called and askt Whether she had not been in the Tower with the Lady Powis she stiffly denied it but being told the Lady Powis her self had own'd it she then confess'd she had been there 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 That he went with him to the Sun and Ship Taverns where he enquired if the Duke of Monmouth had not been there the Night before he went away That Dangerfield said Gadbury brought him acquainted with Sir Robert Peyton That Dangerfield told him the Lord Shafisbury Sir William Waller Doctor Tongue and others had private Meetings near Fox-hall 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 she 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 she 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 serve 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 could desire 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. 〈◊〉 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 Duke-street seized on several Habits Vestments Crucifixes Reliques and other Popish Trinkets all very rich as allodivers Trunks and Boxes full of Books and Papers that did belong to Father Hercourt lately executed wherein are set down several great sums of Money paid by him in about 7 or 8 years last past 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 hanc 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 this 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 different 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 Presbyterians 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 a Presbyterian Plot on foot so that what he did he said was upon a Loyal Design But there is some cause to suspect 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 he would not meddle in it that it troubled his Conscience and that it would be Treachery if it were done and it is to no purpose to meddle in it now for there is a List found 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 feditious Papers Dormer a Priest was seized by Dr. Oates at the Door of the Council-Chamber on Nov. 4. as 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 of 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 remainsted fast in the Faith of the Mother-Church of Rome c. Together with a Latin Prayer in the Margin whereof was written in English Whoever 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 tried on Tuesday Nov. 25. When the whole Design was so particularly laid open especially by Mr. Dangerfield whose Pardon was perfected the day before that every one present was convinc'd of the intended Villany and the Jury without the Lord Chief Justice's summing up the Evidence declared them guilty of the Indictment But their Sentence is deferred till next Term.

Treason against the King Kingdom and Protestant Religion and to raise the Scotish Wars written in Latin Most Illustrious and Reverend Lord WE have willingly and cordially perceived that our offers have been acceptable both to his Royal Majesty and likewise to your Grace This is the only Index to us That the blessing of God is present with you whereby a spur is given that we should so much the more chearfully and freely utter and detest those things whereby the hazard of both your lives the subversion of the Realm and State both of England and Scotland the tumbling down of his Excellent Majesty from his Throne is intended Now lest the discourse should be enlarged with superfluous circumstances we will only premise some things which are meerly necessary to the business You may first of all know that this good man by whom the ensuing things are detected was born and bred in the Popish Religion who spent many years in Ecclesiastical dignities At length being found fit for the expedition of the present Design by the counsel and mandate of the Lord Cardinal Barbarini he was adjoyned to the assistance of Master Cuneus Con by whom he was found so diligent and sedulous in his Office that hope of great promotion was given to him Yet he led by the instinct of the good Spirit hath howsoever it be contemned sweet promises and having known the vanities of the Pontifician Religion of which he had sometime been a most severe defender having likewise noted the malice of those who fight under the Popish banner felt his Conscience to be burdened which burden that he might ease himself of he converted his mind to the Orthodox Religion Soon after that he might exonerate his Conscience he thought fit that a desperate Treason machinated against so many souls was to be revealed and that he should receive ease if he vented such things in the bosom of a friend which done he was seriously admonished by the said friend that he should shew an example of his conversion and charity and free so many innocent souls from imminent danger To whose monitions he willingly consented and delivered the following things to be put in writing out of which the Articles not long since tendered to your Grace may be clearly explicated and demonstrated 1. First of all that the hinge of the business may be rightly discerned it is to be known that all those factions with which Christendom is at this day shaken do arise from the Jesuitical Off-spring of Cham of which four Orders abound throughout the World Of the first Order are Ecclesiasticks whose Office it is to take care of things promoting Religion Of the second Order are Politicians whose Office it is by any means to shake trouble and reform the state of Kingdoms and Republicks Of the third Order are Seculars whose property it is to obtrude themselves into Offices with Kings and Princes to insinuate and immix themselves in Court businesses bargains and sales and to be busied in civil affairs Of the fourth Order are Intelligencers or Spies men of inferiour condition who submit themselves to the services of great men Princes Barons Noble-men Citizens to deceive or corrupt the minds of their masters 2. A Society of so many Orders the Kingdom of England nourisheth for scarce all Spain France and Italy can yield so great a multitude of Jesuits as London alone where are found more than 50 Scotish Jesuits There the said society hath elected to it self a Seat of iniquity and hath conspired against the King and the most faithful to the King especially the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and likewise against both Kingdoms 3. For it is more certain than certainty it self that the forenamed society hath determined to effect an universal reformation of the Kingdom of England and Scotland Therefore the determination of the end necessarily infers a determination of means to the end 4. Therefore to promote the undertaken Villany the said society dubbed it self with the Title of The Congregation of propagating the Faith which acknowledgeth the Pope of Rome the Head of the College and Cardinal Barbarini his substitute and Executor 5. The chief Patron of the society at London is the Popes Legat who takes care of the business into whose bosom these dregs of Traytors weekly deposite all their Intelligences Now the residence of this Legation was obtained at London in the name of the Roman Pontiff by whose mediation it might be lawful for Cardinal Barbarini to work so much the more easily and safely upon the King and Kingdom For none else could so freely circumvent the King as he who should be palliated with the Popes Authority 6. Master Cuneus did at that time enjoy the Office of the Popes Legat an Universal Instrument of the conjured society and a serious Promoter of the business whose secrets as likewise those of all other Intelligencers the present good man the Communicator of all these things did revive and expedite whither the business required Cuneus set upon the chief men of the Kingdom and left nothing unattempted by what means he might corrupt them all and incline them to the pontifician party he inticed many with various incitements yea he sought to delude the King himself with gifts of Pictures Antiquities idols and of other vanities brought from Rome which yet would prevail nothing with the King Having entred familiarity with the King he is often requested at Hampton Court likewise at London to undertake the Cause of the Palatine and that he would interpose his Authority and by his intercession perswade the Legat of Colen that the Palatine in the next Diet to treat of peace might be inserted into the Conditions which verily he promised but performed the contrary He writ indeed that he had been so desired by the King concerning such things yet he advised that they should not be consented to lest peradventure it might be said by the Spaniard that the Pope of Rome had patronized an heretical Prince In the mean time Cuneus smelling from the Archbishop most trusty to the King that the Kings mind was wholly pendulous or doubtful Resolved That he would move every stone and apply his forces that he might gain him to his party Certainly confiding that he had a means prepared For he had a command to offer a Cardinals Cap to the Lord Archbishop in the name of the Pope of Rome and that he should allure him also with higher promises that he might corrupt his sincere mind Yet a fitting occasion was never given whereby he might insinuate himself into the Lord Archbishop Free access was to be gained by the Earl and Countess of A likewise Secretary W The intercession of all which being neglected he did flie the company or familiarity of Cuneus worse than the plague He was likewise perswaded by others of no mean rank well known to him neither yet was he moved 7. Another also was assayed who hindred access to the detestable wickedness Secretary Cook he was a
