of Vices and is a prophane lewd debauchee This Keeling is brought in as the first Witness against Mr Bateman tho' his Evidence touch'd him no more in Law than it did every of the Jury-men and it is remarkable Page 1. c. of the true Account c. that in the four Informations which he at several times gave in to Jenkins Mr Bateman is not so much as once named and yet we here find Keeling a witness against him The fore-mentioned bitter and malitious History doth likewise present us at large Page 34. of the true Account c. as it did Keeling's with the Information of Lee the dyer against Mr Bateman therein Lee swears that he told Mr B. a story he had from Goodenough of our Rights and Priviledges being invaded and that some Gentlemen had taken into consideration how to retrive them c. That Mr Bateman thereupon told him he must have a care and speak at a great distance that he was willing to assist if he could see but a Cloud as big as a Man's hand And that Mr B. told him that the Duke of Monmouth told him the said Mr B. that he was glad that he came acquainted with those Protestant Lords and that Mr B. assured Lee that the Duke was very right for the Protestant Interest and that we need not mistrust him And Lee added in that Information That Goodenough told him that they must seize the Tower and take the City and secure the Savoy and Whitehall and the King and the Duke The Case as to poor Mr Bateman was much altered between the time of Lee's giving the foregoing Information and this Tryal for at first the managers were for hanging Goodenough of whom the Author of the True Account pag. 55. saith that he with monstrous Impiety maintained and recommended the Murder of the King and the Duke as a pious design and a keeping of one of the ten Commandments and the best way to prevent shedding Christian Blood rather than Bateman and to that end Lee's main force was then bent against Goodenough but now it being found that Goodenough and the City Juries of that day could hang Alderman Cornish and Bateman and also Sr. Robert Peyton could they have catcht him the story of a Cloud as big as a man's Hand is expatiated and breaks in a dreadful storm upon Mr B. That of the Duke of Monmouth's being right for the Protestant Interest is now mightily improved and Bateman made to have said The Duke would engage in the business and had Honses in readiness c. And that he the said Bateman would take an House near the Tower in order to surprize it c. As matters were at first concerted the Evidence ran thus Goodenough told Lee that they must seize and secure the Tower the City the Savoy Whitehall the King and the Duke Now Lee swears and Goodenough backs him in it that all this discourse of seizing and securing c. proceeded from Mr Bateman To conclude the whole was a hellish Contrivance to destroy the most valuable men of the Age and with them the Protestant Religion and the wicked History I have mentioned is a lying most malitious Libel upon the great and noble Names and Families of the D. of Monmouth the Earls of Bedford Leicester Essex Shaftesbury Argyle and others and also upon the present learn'd Bishop of Salisbury and therefore seeing that Author doth not unwrite it 't is pitty that 't is not condemned to be burnt by the hands of the Common-Hangman And should it receive that deserved Sentence the Executioner is hereby advertised that he may find the Book in Custody unless escaped since the Prince of Orange's Landing and also in Irons it being affixed very fairly bound with a Chain not far from Newgate at Sadlers Hall with an Inscription on the Title Page The Gift of Mr Nott of the Pall Mall Remarks upon the Tryal of the Right Honourable Henry Lord.
