Maynard That will be left to proof I undertake not of my self to prove this but to open it let the Witnesses speak In discourse some went further than that whosoever would not joyn with them in their Design it was one Strange was an Enemy and thereupon one Cole who is gone deserted them though he was contented to have the King murdered the Nation ruined yet would not agree in that Principle To accomplish this we shall prove to you they did treat of levying a War that among themselves it was given out that Arms were provided some delivered and their Designs to raise Money seizing all the Treasury at Whitehall Worcester-house and the Chamber of London to seize the person of the noble Duke of Albemarle and all about him and Quarter to be given to none that was their Expression They did give out among themselves for a while there was some difference among these Foxes whose Tails were tied together and had fire in them and Tonge told them as we shall prove that all parties were now agreed and would joyn they had framed Declarations to justifie their proceedings framed Papers to raise a Mutiny among the Marriners and encouraged them to joyn with them this will be proved for their means Phillips at the Bar undertakes to procure the Word that the Guard in the City had so to betray them There was a Design made for seizing the Tower several men appointed for that purpose they and their Complices were to come there with Papers in their hands as if they were Mariners and had Accompts to make up these were to go up to those that sate there to finish Accompts To encourage themselves they gave out that they had dealt with the Souldiers at Windsor and secured that Castle if this be proved to you there can nothing be higher There was this one pretence it was given out and perchance the rumours of the City are come to your ears that they had designed a Day for the Execution of this Mischief several dayes were appointed one on the Lord Maiors Day another on Alhallows Eve They gave out by a feigned Letter that there would be a Massacre by the French and Papists of the Protestants this was to raise a fear and discontent among the Nation to induce them to joyn when this Design should be attempted Gentlemen of the Jury had they gone on in this wicked purpose having possessed the people with these fears who could have told how to behave himself And it seems strange and wonderfull especially looking upon the persons men of little consideration despicable men and who live under the Mercies of so good a Soveraign that they should take such a Design in their hearts and undertake the performance Though the Spear hath not entred into the Sides of our Soveraign yet it must needs crown his Head with abundance of Thorns that such people should be desperately wicked But we shall call our Witnesses and when you have heard this proved we cannot be so uncharitable to think you shall need any further Aggravation or doubt of your giving a Verdict against such Miscreants as these are Sir Ieoffry Palmer

night as I was passing along I met Riggs at Stubbs door he asked me what news at London I said I was told there would be a Rising and that Arms were delivered Is there says he said I I do not believe it but I shall know certainly to morrow I did call the next morning and asked Is the story true No says he I was there and there was no Arms that was all that I know of the business Friend did I tell you any such thing Council Tell him and upon what occasion Hill Upon occasion of Riggs asking him for thirty Arms for me this upon the Exchange Sallers took him a little aside and told him They were all delivered out that forty went away lacking that more would be there within two or three days Sallers That which I said to Riggs was the Message I received from Wapshot but that I inquired and there was no Arms there so that it was but a fallacy For I advised him not to meddle with any such thing Mr. Hill never saw my face till I was apprehended upon the Exchange and brought before Sir Richard Brown Hill I saw him upon the Exchange with this man Riggs Council Did he say that any Arms were delivered before and what number Hill About five or six hundred Sallers He never heard me speak a word Council How long before he was apprehended Hill Never but that time with Riggs upon the Exchange about nine days before his apprehension and he confessed upon his examination That he did see me with Riggs Court Have you or any other the prisoners any questions more Sallers I have more Whether he will positively affirm that he spake with me upon the Exchange Hill No Sir you answered the question to Riggs Council You heard the answer Hill Yes Sir Sallers May be at the second hand Council Did you hear the prisoner answer it or had you it at the second hand Hill I heard it from Sallers himself answering Riggs Sallers Did you hear me Hill Yes to Mr. Riggs Sir Hen. Finch He swears it and you wonder at it and so we do all Sallers Who was there then Hill It was upon the Exchange when almost full Sallers What day of the moneth Hill I cannot remember the day Sallers I do declare before this Honorable Bench Gentlemen of the Jury and this great Auditory That I never saw this mans face till I was apprehended That which I told Mr. Riggs was what I heard Wapshot say I never till then saw this mans face nor exchanged one word with him whereas he sayes he heard me I do not believe Mr. Riggs saw him near me when I gave him the answer Hill Seeing he doth invalidate my Testimony Mr. Adjutant Carent took him upon the Exchange I shewed him the person and therefore certainly I must see him before Sallers It was not he but the other in the white cloaths that came and took me that knew me Court Will any of the rest ask him any question Sallers Here is that that I am accused of That I delivered Arms which is altogether false my Lord Major can bear witness Wapshot confessed he told me such a thing I did ever abhor any such thing I was always serviceable to His Majesty upon all occasions and all times my neighbors can witness my civil conversation Court Have you any thing more to ask him Sallers I would fain know whether the Bench and Jury are satisfied with this Evidence Court That you will hear anon What else will you ask him Stubbs What he accuses me you have all heard I do in the presence of God and this Honorable Bench and the Jury deny it for it is very false and believe none will verifie the same upon Oath Court Have you any questions Gibbs We all stand in the presence of God and I am very conscientious of what I say and do I must give account of all things before the Lord. This Gentleman Mr. Hill has asserted concerning me That I should deliver divers Cases of Pistols or knowing the delivery of them if Mr. Hill who stands likewise in the presence of God can produce any man to prove That I delivered to any man any Pistols or that any were so delivered by my order or that I conveyed or sent them away into the Countrey Do this in the sight of the Lord and his own conscience I expect not mercy But I would have him speak no more of me but what he knows of me or by me whether he knows I ever received any Pistols or delivered any at any time for such an end as he is pleased to speak Which my Soul abhors and God can witness Stubbs This Mr. Hill was the man that mentioned this and that he had four Horses and Arm● himself and had Two hundred pound in order to it I was never any plotter nor contrived any thing but am as innocent as the childe unborn but being by an accident at Tonges house a Strong-water-man ask the other witnesses whether he speaks truth Sir O. Bridgman I would put you in a right way you shall be all heard at large when you make your defence But will you ask him any questions Gibbs I propounded one I desire an answer Whether I received or delivered any Pistols to such a use Hill I did not say he did but at that meeting at Black-Fryers it was discoursed among them That several Arms were sent to Dorsetshire to several friends there and he was there then I believe he cannot deny it Stubbs There was Arms spoken of but that man Mr. Hill spoke of them and upon this consideration That there were Arms delivered to every Hall Ammunition and Powder Riggs knows he spoke it at that time Hill Sir that was spoken after the question was put What was the occasion of sending the Powder and Ammunition to the Halls These Arms were spoken of in reference to the design I do acknowledge I told them I had some Arms my self and said I had Two hundred pound for carrying it on and I know the grounds of my speaking and so do some of this Honorable Bench. Stubbs Hill advised that they fall upon Sir Richard Brown as an enemy to all honest-men Gibbs This Hill says that I should say these things There was more there and had ears as well as he let them speak Hill There was Riggs Stubbs my self and I know not the other names Gibbs This Hill and Mr. Riggs whose face I never saw came to my neighbors-house where I was alone found me plotting with no man Hill We were brought into his company by one Beazley he had been at Tower-hill about two or three a clock to give some intelligence to some persons there about the design Riggs and I took a Coach and went after him and Stubbs told us we might meet him at a Bakers house near the Tower We found Beazley and he said he could not signifie any thing to us but would carry us to Black-Fryers
