must secure him from the fears of Damnation under his greatest Crimes and Villanies and the first he met with and most suitable to his Humour was the Family of Love Ranters or Sweet-singer of Israel Coppe at that time being the Head of them and my Friend John's Spiritual Father and as the Cant then run He begot him in the Lord which was as much as to say He converted him This was the only fit Faith and Religion that ever my Friend found for never was Halter and Thief better matched than John and this Family of Love for Lewdness Whoredom and all Vice were the Principles and Practice of this Zealous Crew they holding all things in common from the Purse to the Placket now our Friend begins to put himself forward and shew his Parts by instructing the rest of the Crew and to that end being more than half drunk at London-wall he undertook to preach from that Passage in the 11th of Judges and the 1st ver And Jephthah was the Son of a Harlot a very proper Text for Mr. John to discourse to the people and especially if he doth but consider how plaguy doubtful his own Birth was he knows the meaning of it and recollects the Passages that then occur'd This sort of Faith-jobbing did not content him long and therefore some new thing was to be again found out and to that end when Cromwell came to be Protector he begins to insinuate at Whitehall in order to make an Interest to dedicate his Book called the Doctrine of Nativities to Oliver to which end he tells how he had been a Sufferer and lost his Fortune and Estate by the Royal Party and that he was ready to ingage all that he had left to serve that Interest but somebody cut the Grass under John's Feet and no Butter stuck upon his Bread at that time so that then he thought it most convenient to turn Book-wright for a Spiritual Livelihood The Protector going off the Stage and Charles II. coming in John then falls in Hand and Heart with that Government Turns Church of England Man and it was Charles the Martyr at every Word then he call'd the Nonconformists Rebels and Rascals and rail'd like a Butter whore at them in defence of the Church and by this way of Insinuation he was at last taken notice of by some of those then Red hot Saints and from Jewin street in 1666. he comes to Westminster where he did generally appear at the Abby once every Sunday to cheat Mankind into a good Opinion of his Sanctity when to say the Truth it was no more but a Hypocritical Paroxism as you will see hereafter About the Year 1667. he fell mightily in love with the Gardiner's Daughter who was another Man's Wife at that time who by Vocal Conversation and Amorous Letters and Copies of Verses he perswades her to leave her Husband Bed and come and keep him and his Wife company the silly woman complies and was by his mountain Promises deluled and by the help of Don John under his Wife's Nose she humbly conceived in a little time then he decoy'd her to Mrs. W's with great Promises to take care of her and visit her often but after he had got her out of his own House he never went near her This put her into a deep Melancholy which made Mrs. W. ask the reason which when she knew went to John and acquainted him with the Matter Ay says he hath she told it then let her go like a Whore as she is a true Scorpionist The poor Woman made hard shift to subsist and at last was brought to Bed and when she was up again three Whores you may guess by whom employed met her in the Evening and had like to have killed her After this her Husband indicted this Friend of Mine at the Sessious for debauching his Wife and a few days before it was to come to a Tryal he was murdered privately and 't is forty to one but you will guess who did it or at least had a hand in it A True Blew Catholick Saint and all this time one of our Church and at the Abby almost every Sunday Monstrum horendum Can any man sleep in peace that has the gashly Ghost of a murdered man in his mind or appearing before the Eyes of his wretched restless Conscience It is no wonder to me to see men run and rush into the most flagitious Crimes in Nature that have been once flusht in the Blood of Mankind and what is a leader to it Subornation of Perjury two such Crimes that all Christian Governments have provided the severest of Laws for their severe punishments From this time forward for some years together he was ruffling all Mankind vindicating Scorpio and promising us his Body of Tautology Not to mention any thing of the Two By-blows that were at Nurse in Tuttle-fields where his Friend Baxter told me he had been with him divers times nor the Friendship and Intimacy he then contracted with the Trayterous Popish Priests from whom he learned the Murdering Principles afterward discovered in the Popish Plot as you may see by Mr. Dangerfield's own Words in his Animadversions on Gadbury's Almanack for 1682. his words are these speaking to John Gadbury That you and I upon or about the 2d of September 1689 entring into Discourse I perceived your Countenance to change when looking very angrily on me you told me That you wondered that I would offer to displease the Lords in the Tower especially the Lord Castlemain then out upon Bail who design'd to advance me in the World and help me to make my Fortune To which I replied That I was not a little surprized to hear such words from you and asked you if you knew the ground of their displeasure you then replied yes yes you did and then falling into a great Passion said It was because I would not kill the King said you to me I admire at your Ingratitude that when you could not propose to your self any possible way of getting out of Prison c. that you should offer to refuse it Nay said you to me I might have done it with all the ease in the world for no manner of hurt could have befallen me Why said I would not Death unavoidably have been the consequence of it No said you for before I was released out of the King's Bench you had an exact account from Mrs. Cellier of the Year Month Week Day and Hour I was born in and the Countess of P. ordered you to calculate my Nativity And it is so clear said you to me that you are by all adjudged the Person allotted for that bold and daring Enterprize This is the Attestation left by Mr. Dangerfield So that you see he is not content to be padling in Blood himself but for perswading others to engage in those Black Crimes also for which he was taken into custody the 2d of November Anno 1679. And this is the first notorious Plot that
