the Congregational Churches and they were not fully agreed but now they were come all to an Agreement and the work would be done in a short time that all things were now near ready both in Country and City and that a Frigat or more would revolt from the King to them Not long after the said Riggs carried him the said Phillips to the house of one Tonge an old Army Captain but now a Seller of Tobacco and Strong-water in Tower-Ditch where he heard Tonge say unto Riggs that he had been at Windsor-Castle and had made a Captain two Serjeants and a Gunner to be of their Party and that they had undertaken to deliver up the said Castle to that Party which were now to Rise to which Riggs replyed you have done well and further said I am now going to surprise two Castles in Kent one of them as this Deponent remembreth was to be Deale Castle and this he would and could do for that he had some correspondence therein and much acquaintance near where he formerly used to Preach And further saith That Tonge asked Riggs who should lead the men that were to Rise and who Commanded in chief to which Riggs replyed that Ludlow was appointed for that work He further saith That he asked Riggs and Tonge how this business might be carried on with safety and secrecy Riggs told him that there was a Council of Six which managed the Design who sat but one day in a place and would not be spoken with but by the Agitators of each County who were imployed by them to and fro in this work to prepare and make ready all Parties in the several Counties and that these Six were of several Congregations and Opinions to the end that all Parties might unite And further saith That one Wade or some such name whom he heard Riggs and Tonge say was a Ship-Chandler in East-Smithfield did furnish powder to carry on this Design in whose Company he once was and heard himself say as much which said person he believes he knows when he seeth him again He also saith That Riggs told him all the Congregational Churches were now agreed to joyn in this Design And that Riggs and Tonge desired this Examinant to furnish what Men Arms he could which he saith he never intended to do it though they earnestly requested it of him onely he saith in some things he was too faulty which he prayeth pardon for which was in sending word to the several Meetings on Sunday last that the Trained-Bands were coming to seise them upon which the chiefest of them made their escape before the Souldiers arrival and that he being deluded by their fair Speeches did promise to give them the Word when the general Rising was to be In which Rising all the Churches aforesaid promised to joyn and the Fifth Monarchy-Men to lead the Van And further saith That Riggs told him they had a Declaration ready to fling among the People against Bishops and Common-Prayer and that Liberty of Conscience was held forth therein But first before this Declaration they would Seise on the Kings Person and that then their Declaration would take with the People And also saith That one Capt. Baker one Bradley and Tonge were privy to all these Transactions which were debated by them in his presence and that the said Baker came afterwards to this Examinant and discoursed all the aforesaid particulars and incited him to help on with the work and told him their Arms and Powder was distributed and that a Porter which was formerly a Souldier carried the Powder to several Places in a Sack And further saith That Riggs told him they had divers Friends both in London the Country who had and would help them to Money and that all their Friends were now ready in all Countries waiting onely for the day when they were to Act and that the Treasure in the Guild-Hall was likewise to be seised And that the said Riggs also told him That they intended to Surprize the Tower which they could easily do having some therein that would assist and this was to be put in Execution in some Evening when Sir Iohn Robinson came home late by following close after his Coach with a Party of men which should lie ready for that purpose George Phillips Sir William Morice and Sir Henry Bennet Principal Secretaries of State sworn Sir William Morice I have had intelligence and several advertisements from several parts of the Kingdom that there was a Design of Rising and an Insurrection that it was the general expectation and common discourse of the discontented and disaffected party nay it was likewise preached about that the Papists had a Design to rise and cut the throats of the Protestants I had four or five Letters to that effect sent and brought me and these Rumours were spread to excite others to joyn with these Sir Henry Bennet Divers Letters of mine were to the same effect that there was an Insurrection intended at that time and calling upon one another to be ready at that time Sir Iohn Talbot Sworn Sir Iohn Talbot I suppose that the Evidence that I can give in relation to the Prisoners is onely the consequences of this report which they had rumoured about the Papists Massacring the Protestants the consequence was this that it made a very great disturbance in Worcester-shire and Warwick-shire insomuch that many Gentlemen that lived in the Country in very good repute came under a very great suspicion of all their Neighbours and the Lieutenants wrote to one another to secure many there was Guards set to satisfie the fears of the Country Fryday night which the rising should have been on they would not intrust the Catholicks to be in Arms but other Voluntiers Mr. Hodges Sworn Mr. Hodges In Dorset-shire the 23. of October last there was a discovery made by some of the Town of an intention of a general rising and some of the Town were engaged in it one Mr. Harvey a Justice of the Peace examined divers Persons four that were privy to it were sent to the Goal and an express sent to Mr. Secretary Morrice Sir Iohn Weld the younger gave such an account of Shrewsbury Stubbs My Lord the occasion of my going that Fryday night was by Mr. Hill and Mr. Riggs suggesting Papists rising I was never known to be a Plotter I had not gone forth that night but only by their perswasions I never heard of any Arms but only the rumours of the people Sallers I would fain know of Mr. Riggs what number of Arms I told him was delivered Riggs I know not the number Major Thomas Bonfoy at his desire was Sworn Major Bonfoy I do not remember that I ever saw Phillips face but I did understand it was his custom to come to the Exchange to insinuate himself into my Officers making merry with them and endeavouring to get the word and I believe it was his common practise Phillips He may remember I came on
