in the least danger or Jeopardy The further INFORMATION of Francisco de Faria upon Oath before me Edmund Warcupp Esq one of his Majesties Justices of the Peace in the said County and City this Day of December 1680. Mid. and West THis Informant being duely Sworn and Examined saith that in the Month of July 1679 when Sir George Wakeman Baronet William Marshal and William Rumley Gentlemen and James Corker the Priest were Tryed in the Old Bayly he employed one Mr. Cooper by Order of his Master Gasper de Abreu de Frietas Ambassador in Ordinary from the Crown of Portugal to take in Writing the said Tryals which he did and the said Trials were transcribed and afterwards read and interpreted unto the said Ambassador who seemed to be exceedingly displeased with Mr. Marshal for so over-doing his Defence in regard said he the said Mr. Marshal was well assured before hand he should not be Condemn'd and in these long Speeches said he he hath too much reflected on the Innocency of them that had already Suffered and took too much No tree of the Blood already shed by which he endanger'd the s●oning of the whole Business by exasperating the Court and Jury against them all That some time after the said Trials there was a report about the Court and City that Articles were coming out against the Lord Chief Justice Scroggs upon which the said Ambassador told this Informant he would give fifty Guinneys to have a Copy of them before they were made publick That some time before the Ambassador acquainted this Informant that he intended to send to Portugal for his Lady and that this Informant should be her Gentleman Usher and also continue in his present Capacity of Secretary and Interpreter That the said Ambassador did in order thereto furnish his House and one Day being very intent upon Work Men who were putting up some Tapestry Hangings a very large Pacquet of Letters was brought his Excellency by Doctor Mendex one of the Queens Majesties Physitians which he had no sooner read but he acquainted this Informant that he must forthwith go for Portugal to which this Informant answered that he much wondred at it and was not a little surprised to hear it especially in regard that his Excellency being Ambassador in Ordinary must then leave the Ambassadage Extraordinary behind him a thing unusual But his Excellency answered this Informant that he must go and that immediately and would leave Orders to sell his Coach and Horses and other things after he was gone This Informant still pressing the Reasons of so sudden a Departure was by the said Ambassador answered that otherwise he thought he should be called before the King and Counsel upon the Lord Scroggs his account and added Francis you must then go also but I charge you not to say that you went to the said Lord Scroggs from me that Fryday on which Sir George Wakeman was Tried but that you went on your own head and that you went to him from me on the Saturday after only for God above knows what we do is for the Catholick Cause and that God below pointing to his Chappel which was under his Chamber in which we then were will pardon us and justify us in what we do At which time there being a rumour that the Earl of Ossory was to go for Madrid to complement that King upon his Marriage and that he would Embarque for Lisbon and go thence by Land to Madrid the Ambassador said he would go with him But he then again further charged this Informant to say if he should happen to be examined before the Council that the Ambassador sent him and went himself to the Lord Chief Justice Scroggs by a Mistake as looking on him to be a publick Minister of State Whereupon this Informant having alwayes great Freedom of Discourse with the said Ambassador asked his Lordship his reasons and why his Lordship did direct him to say in that manner touching the Lord Chief Justice Scroggs and his Lordship thereupon answered him in the Portuguese Language with a Proverb of that Countrey in these words Chen es muy curioso novive muto which in English is He that is over curious never liveth long Whereupon this Informant thought fit to forbear any further Questions in that Matter promising to obey his Lordships Command about the said Lord Chief Justice Scroggs And this Informant saith that he well remembers that this Discourse was on the last Lord Mayors Day was twelve Months And this Informant saith that at the time when his Majesty was ill at Windsor this Informant being in Discourse with the said Ambassador did ask his Lordship what should be done with the Queen in Case his Majesty should tben die which God forbid he should who answered that so soon as his Majesties Eyes were closed the Marquess de Aronches Extraordinary Ambassador or else himself would immediately go with her Majesty to Calais and her Majesty being by one of them thus secured the other should stay here and then England should be treated with to restore Tangeir and the rest of her Majesties Dowry vvhich he said was the reason that two Ambassadors were here at one time for said he should the King die the Queen would be imprisoned and punished or made a Slave in England and we come not hither to repeat his own words Nos non v●m●● para ●nsi●ar perlos to thread Pearl but to take care of her Safety Francisco de Faria And this Informant further saith That the Ambassador one day asked him if he knew Dugdale To which he answered That he knew none of the Witnesses Then the Ambassador said Dugdale is a Rogue because he would not accept the money that was offered him by a Chambermaid For if he had taken the money he might have gon beyond Sea and might there have lived happy and been adored for that our Church will forgive all that repent The Ambassador further added at that time that Burgomanero the Spanish Ambassador was a great Friend of the said Chambermaids and that the said Burgomonero would be examined before the Council about that Matter as he thought And this Informant further saith That the Ambassador his Master after he came home one night from Court with great Joy said That Villain Shaftsbury is put out of the Council and now we must have his Blood calling this Informant Dunce and Blockhead that he should be at White-Hall and not hear it before And this Informant further saith That at one other time discoursing of Mr. Coleman that was Executed he said If ever any Man was Guilty that died Coleman was and therefore could not ever be Canonized for a Saint because of the Guilt but he might be Absolved And this Informant further saith That at the time when the Duke of Monmouths
