the Tower to place Men in in order to surprize it Mr Bateman objected to this evidence that if he had been guilty of such discourse he had been fit for Bedlam and if Lee had heard him speak such words he wondered he had not sooner accused him Richard Goodenough then witnessed that in discourse with Mr B. at the King's Head-Tavern in Swithens Alley about the intended Insurrection M. B. promised to use his interest in raising Men and to be assisting in surprizing the City Savoy c. and in driving the Guards out of Town Mr Bateman having subpenaed Sr William Turner to give an Account of an Information given in upon Oath before him by one Barker above two Years before that Lee would have suborned him against the Prisoner Sr William would testifie nothing thereof but said that it being above two Years since he could not charge his memory with any of the particulars contained therein Mr Tomkins Sr William Turner's Clerk being askt about Baker's Information said there was such an Examination taken Anno 1683 but to the best of his remembrance it was returned before the King and Council and he could not give any account of the particulars Baker being called declared That being in Lee's company in the year 1683 Lee would have perswaded him to insinuate himself into Mr Bateman's company and he demanding of Lee to what end he should do it and about what he should discourse Lee told him he might talk about State matters Lee by these horrid practices made himself a great Man being put into the place of a Messenger which he enjoyed till of late tho some time before he became a Witness he borrowed Money to buy Bread for his Family and by that means he would find a way to make him a great Man and Baker testifi'd he was examin'd about this before Sr William T. The Court upon this Evidence declared that what Baker said A wicked but customary practice of that day to abet and justifie Suborners and Trapans was nothing to the purpose but that Lee had a design therein to make a discovery of the Conspiracy if he could have procured a Witness to corroborate his Evidence The Jury being sent out without Hesitation brought Mr Bateman in guilty of the Treason tho' 't is certain King Charles laught at Lee's evidence It being demanded of Mr B. what he had to say why Judgment should not be pronounced He desired to know whether Mr Goodenough was fully pardoned and he was answered that as for the Outlawry he was pardoned and for any thing else he was not prosecuted and then he was condemned and was executed upon the 18th of December 1685. That the matter relating to Sr William Turner may appear in it its true Light I shall subjoyn the following accompt thereof Mr Bateman's Son having as he thought very providentially heard that Baker had about two Years before given an Information upon Oath to Sr William Turner of the Villain Lee's tampering with him to ensnare and accuse Mr Bateman The Son was advised by Counsel to apply himself to Sr William and in several attendances upon him when he was engaged in other matters and his Books of Entries lay upon his Table he turning over the Leaves found the Entry of Baker's Information about Lee's attempting to suborn him against Mr Bateman The Son thereupon in the first place applied to Tomkins Sr William's Clerk to get a Copy of that Information and did once think him inclined to let him have it but at last he told him he must ask Sr William Thereupon he applied himself to Sr William for it who demanded of him Whether it were against the King and young Mr Bateman answered him No it may save the Life of one of his Subjects whereupon Sr William said You shall not have it The only Refuge then was to subpena Sr William Turner and his Clerk which was done and Sr William being examined saying he could not charge his Memory with any of the particulars in the Information of Baker young Mr Bateman said Let the Book be sent for it is in such a Book and such a Page Whereupon Herbert the Chief Justice in a passion commanded young Mr Bateman to be removed out of the Court as he was If the truth of what is here related in reference to Sr William Turner be any way doubted it will evidently and beyond controul appear by the Proceedings before the House of Lords where it hath been very lately made out by Mr Bateman's Son and also by another Witness who was privy to the whole transaction thereof with Sr William Turner Mr Bateman being thus condemned to Death by the foregoing wicked Practices expressed himself thus to his Son Richard Your Father needs not to dye if he will accuse others but he dyes because he will not be a Rogue And 't was most undoubtedly true as 't is that a greater Rogue lives not than this Lee Mr Bateman's first Accuser who having miscarried in his cursed Attempt to suborn Baker is now seconded by Goodenough who was brought with a Halter in effect about his Neck to swear this good Man out of his Life In relation to the Witnesses and their Evidence some things deserve to be further remarked The late King James had no sooner possessed himself of the Throne but by his order and special recommendation a most malitious Tract was emitted to the World under the Title of Atrue Account and Declaration of the horrid Conspiracy against the late King his present Majesty and the Government The temporizing Pen-man who ever he was shewed more Art than Honesty in compiling that History and omitted nothing therein which might serve the turn of Popery but most wickedly magnified the Evidence of the Conspiracy he treated of His loose and virulent Pen runs thus as to Keeling one of the Witnesses in the case before us Josia Keeling a most perverse Fanatick was the Man whom God chose to make the first discoverer It pleased the divine Goodness so to touch his Soul that he could not rest till after much conflict in his mind he had fully determined to discharge his Conscience of the Hellish Secret Now the truth of it is Keeling was found about that time to be under some Conflict but it was with Satan and his Instruments who quickly vanquished and made him a Witness as hath been lately made out beyond contradiction by the Testimony of many unblemished Persons before the House of Lords of which more in it is proper place he had indeed before that time frequented an Assembly of Christians who dissented from the Church of England but being thrown out as a perverse Fanatick he made his way by a Profligate Fellow like himself one Peckham to Sr Leoline Jenkins the Secretary of State who listed him of his Church and the first in his Roll of Witnesses and since he became so 't is notoriously known that he hath given up himself to all manner
