FINIS Note It appears though Green hath not named the particular day wherein he had his conference with this Boyer that it was betwixt Sunday the 23d and Saturday the 29th of January 1674 5. and that Captain Boyer made the like Discourse whereof his mind was very full the very same day to Mr. Robert Woodhouse another of the Witnesses mentioned in the following Relation as they rode together to Mr. Woodhouses House vide infra Note That Mr. Dugdale in the Tryal of Whitebread Harcourt Gavan and the rest saith that if the Kings Death should happen they should have been ready to give the first allarm in the Country and that a Letter was sent into the Country to shew it was the Opinion of them at Paris and St. Omers to give out that it was in Case the King had been kill'd still those King killing Presbyterians that had done the Fact thereby to bring the Protestants over to their side to revenge themselves of the Prefbyterians and cut them off that they might more easily deal with the Protestants themselves and cut them off likewise afterwards and this shews both what overturning Earthquake Boyer spoke of * This agrees with Dugdales Deposition that they had three times a Week constantly and sometimes by Expresses Letters from London Viz. about the 29 of January 1674 5. Note That by these Words compared with other passages in this Relation Richard Greene wrote this Paper within a twelve month after his aforesaid talk with Captain Boyer viz. before February 1675 6. * Which was the Kings being dispatched or killed by the Papists for Mr. Dugdale saith in the Tryal of Whitebread Harcourt and the rest that two years before the said Tryal which was about the time of these Discourses of Green and Boyer he heard it Discoursed for the first time in the little Parlour at my Lord Astons House and at Mr. Ewers Chamber by Mr. Ewers and Mr. Gavan who were the first that broke the matter to him that the King was to be kill'd that he saw a Letter under Whitebreads own Hand enclosed in one from Groves to Mr. Ewers wherein he gave Mr. Ewers a Caution to be sure to chuse those who were Trusty Hardy and Desperate c. to kill the King That there were several Consultations at Mr. Ewers Chamber at Boscobell and several other places for Conspiring the Kings Death That at one of these Consultations held at Tixall about the 21 of September 1678 were present Mr. Gavan Mr. Ewers Mr Peters Mr. Lewson my Lord Stafford and others That he was chosen as a sit Person to kill the King entertained by my Lord Stafford and Mr. Ewers for this purpose and to be sent for this purpose to London to be under the tuition of Mr. Parsons that he saw Mr. Turner when he was going to his Brother Turner in Nottinghamshire with Mr. Ewers Mr. Lewson and others and they did consult and agree there in his hearing about Conspiring the Death of the King Introducing Popery c. That he saw and received several Packets of Letters from several Persons beyond Seas which were by Mr. Harcourts Instruction and communicated by Grove to Mr. Ewers which Letters did contain matters in them for the Introducing of Popery and Killing and Destroying the King He likewise intercepted and read a Hundred Letters given under Mr. Harcourts own Hand to the same purpose That Mr. Gavan used several Arguments to prove the Lawfulness of and shewed him several Examples for King-killing Nay for the killing of any to Introduce their own Religion he endeavoured to prove it by Scripture the Text Mr. Dugdale could not call to mind but it was to shew how it was lawful and good to destroy any for the advantage of their Religion shewing the Example of Father Garnet how by several of his Relicks beyond Sea great Miracles had been done And in the Tryal of Langhorne he saith he was in most of their Consultations for the Murder of the King that he heard the very words used was hired to be an Actor in it was to have a summ of Money and a place appointed him to do it and that the Persons who put him upon it was Mr. Ewers Gavan Lewson Vavasser who were all Iesuits The Sum promised by Lord Stafford and confessed by Lord Aston was 500 l. advance mony and farther Reward Preferment c. Note That Mr. Dugdale saith in Whitebreads Tryal that at some Consultations he heard speak of a Massacre that there was a Massacre intended and an Army to be raised that if any did escape the Massacre whom they could not be sure to be Papists they might be cut off by the said Army and in Langhorns Tryal he saith that Ewers Gavan Lewson and Vavasser did always speak of an Army that was to be raised but not actually till the King was kill'd That it was first concluded to raise an Army but the last resolutton was that no Armies should appear till the King was kill'd upon whose Death was to be the Massacre and then a pretty considerable Army to be raised which was to cut of those who escaped the Massacre Note That the Summer 1675. in which this Plot was designed to be executed and consequently the King to be killed was in the time of the 15 months Prorogation of the Parliament and Boyer said that was to be begun so that it might be fully executed before the time that the Parliament was to meet again * For Greene was Boyers Kinsman and had been very intimate with him till called to Witness against bim

Thomas Boyer of Luntlow in the Parish of Dilwin Gentleman Papist Convict lately returned from a Journey into Staffordshire meeting him the said Richard Greene accidentally in the Fields asked him What Newes to which he replyed that he had heard of an Earthquake and that at London the Foundations of several Houses were sunk by it and worse news then all that That the King was dead and that it was a Week before the News of the King was contradicted to which the said Boyer replyed That the said Earthquake was generally all over England but no Houses sunk at London and that the News was there where he Travelled That the King was dead but it continued not above 24 hours that if it had continued 48 uncontradicted the News of his recovery had come too late for had it the News of his Death continued it would have been an Earthquake indeed such an Earthquake as had not been in England this Hundred years it had not only shaken but overturned the very Foundations Whereupon Green said you have good Intelligence to hear that News and to have it contradicted in 24 hours Boyer answered the best Intelligence in England He the said Boyer also said that this was the third Fit of an Apoplexy or Trance that the King had had To which when Green replyed that God be praised the Proverb was not fulfilled on hic Majesty which is If a man have two shrewd Turns let him beware of the Third Boyer said its true he hath escaped the third but let England beware of the next said Boyer See some particulars here omitted below Numb 5. and Marginal Notes there inserted of their Design upon the Kings Death set out by Dugdale Memorandum This was the effect of Greens Depositions put in with his Petition into the grand Committee of the House of Commons Iune 78. then assembled for suppressing Popery 3.
