short time they made him privy to their most secret Consultations and keeping short Notes of all things of Concernment he was thereby in a Capacity to give an account of so many several particulars a he has discovered which have had the happiness to be confirmed by other Circumstances and Evidence and have not the least contradicted one another nor those other Papers which have been found elsewhere nor differed from the Informations that have been given in by Mr. 〈◊〉 Mr. Dugdale Mr. Jennism Mr. Mowbray Mr. Baldron and others whom God hath since raised up further to clear and unmask this detestable and bloody Conspiracy Dr. Oats was resolved as much as in him lay to prevent their Traiterous designs upon his Majesties Life though he endangered his own thereby since he observed that all their Contriv●n●es were ripe and there only wanted the Fatal Blow to destroy the Life of his Sacred Majes●y and the R●ligion and Liberties of these three Kingdoms and whereas Father Woitebread the Provincial of the Jesuits had engaged Dr. Oats before his last return into England to ●●●assinate and murder Israel Tongue Doctor of Divinity because he had translated a Book Intituled The Jesuits Morals and had promised him Fifty pound as a reward for the same Dr. Oats after his coming over became acquainted with Dr. Tongue and finding him to be a person of Trust and Integrity he gave him an Account of his Assassination and likewise some Heads of the Plot in General After which they both seriously Consulted together of the best methods for making this necessary Discovery since they were sure to meet with great opposition therein At last they concluded to acquaint Mr. Christopher Kirby therewith as a person whom for his Loyalty Courage and Zeal for the Safety of his Majesties Person and the Protestant Religion they judged very fit and capable to assist them and therefore on Monday August 12. 1678. Dr. Tongue snewed Mr. Kirby Forty three Articles drawn up in writing desiring him that without making any other Person acquainted therewith he would discover the same to the King and Mr. Kirby very generously undertook the same and accordingly the next morning in St. James's Park he humbly acquainted his Majesty That his Enemies had a Design against his Life and humbly beseeched his Majesty to use all Caution for he did not know but he might be in danger in that very walk But his Majesty armed with his Native goodness and Innocency seemed more surprized with the strangeness of the News than with the apprehension of the danger and only asked How that could be To which Mr. Kirby replyed That it might be by being shot at And gave a part●●cular account that there were two men Grove and Pickering by name that watched an opportunity to shoot his Majesty and that another person was hired to Poyson him His Majesty ordered further Scrutiny should be made into the business and a while after Doctor Oats having written fair Copies of his Informations upon the 28. of September 1678. went to Sir Edmundbury Godfrey and made Oa●h of the truth and reality thereof Sir Edmundbury defiring to keep a Copy of the Informations himself as having never before perused them which it may be was the occasion of his horrid Murther which soon after followed The Plot in General seemed to be by Fire and Sword to subvertand destroy the Protestant Religion and established Government of these three Kingdoms and to reduce them to Popery The chief Conspirators being Innocent the 11th now Pope who in The Congregation for propagating the Faith held about Decemb. 1677. and consisting of about 350. Persons Declared All his Majesties Dominions to be part of St. Peters ●atrimony as forfeited to the Holy See for the Heresie of the Frince and People and to be disposed of as he should hink sit And our English Cardinal Howard wa● appoint by the Pope to take Possession of England in his Name who was likewise made Archbishop of Canterbury and other Popish Priests were made Bishops in England all the present Bishops being designed to be removed from their Dignities Johannes Paulus de Oliva Father General of the Jesuits was to give Directions to the Provin●ial of the Jesuits in London how to manage their Affairs Monsieur ●e Chese a Jesuit Consessor to the French King was likewise concerned with whom Edward Coleman held correspondence Also Strange and Whitebread Provincials of the Jesuits and the Benedictine Monks of the Savoy were in this cursed Conspiracy and the Jesuits and Seminary Priests of whom there were at that time in England about Eighteen Hundred Divers Lay Persons of Quality were drawn in who were to command Forces and to execute the Great Offices of the Realm as the Lord Arundel of Warder was appointed Lord Chancellour of England the Lord Powis Lord Treasurer Sir William Godolphin Lord Privy Seal Edward Coleman Secretary of State and for the Military part Lord Bellasi● to be Lord General Lord Petters Lieutenant General Sir Francis Ratoliff Major General John Lambert Adjutant General Richard Langhorn Advocate General who had Commissions sent them from Paulus de Oliva and directed from Rome to Mr. Langhorn This was so great and glorious a work that the chiefest of the Romish Clergy through Europe were engaged therein so that it cannot be said to be the Act or Contrivance of any few particular Persons but The unanimous undertaking of their whole Church and so to their everlasting Infamy ought to be Recorded Now as to the Means whereby this was to be accomplished the first and chief was By Murdering his Sacred Majesty which was to be accomplisht either by Pistolling of him wherein Pickering and Grove were ingaged or by Stabbing and this to be done by Conyers and Anderton Benedictine Monks or four Irish Ruffians Or lastly by Poysoning for which Money was paid to the Undertaker 2. Another means was by firing London Westminster and the parts adjacent and likewise other Cities and great Towns in England immediately upon the Murder of his Majesty 3. By a General Massacre to which purpose they had designed to raise an Army which was to consist of Fifty Thousand men to be Listed in and about London The Officers to be all Resolute Papists and for the most part French and Irish and these they gave out were enough to out the Throats of One Hundred Thousand Protestants especially being taken upon a Surprize when the Militia of London was undisciplined and unprovided Care was taken likewise about securing Ireland and Scotland to their Interest Great sums of Money were provided for the necessary charge of this mighty undertaking and it was discoursed that the Jesuits in England had purchased a great Estate per Annum for that purpose and that they had a great Stock in ready Money and were to receive Eleven thousand Crowns from Rome Ten thousand pound from Spain and Ten thousand from France besides several other very considerable sums for promoting this vast design

of gaining England and Ireland which the Pope had bestowed upon him he comes to take possession thereof with a vast and as the Pope Christened it Invincible Armado consisting of an hundred and thirty tall Ships extraordinary well furnished and containing fifty seven Thousand eight hundred and eight Tun wherein were Eight Thousand six hundred Seamen Twenty Thousand Souldiers two thousand Galley Slaves besides Gentlemen and Voluntiers in abundance so that there was scarce a Family in Spain who had not either a Son Brother or Cousin in the Fleet. There were likewise aboard them two thousand six hundred and thirty great Ordnance with Powder Bullets Match Muskets Pikes Spears Swords and all things proportionable with Knives Daggers Skeins Chains and Whips to Torment and cut the Throats of the poor English Protestants and with them came swarms of those Locusts called Capuchins Mendicants Jesuits and other Officers of the Sacred Order of the Inquisition as they prophanely call it And besides all this there lay in Flanders fifty thousand old Souldiers and two hundred eighty eight Vessels ready to transport them under the command of the Duke of Parma all the King of Spains best Souldiers even as far as America being drawn forth for this Holy War The whole of this Expedition having cost the Spaniard twelve Millions of Crowns before their setting forth the Pope likewise contributing a Million of Gold to so pious a design But the goodness and mercy of God at that time defended England from the gaping Jaws of destruction and discomfited this Mighty Armado and all its mighty preparations and sent them home full of shame loss and confusion so that of one hundred thirty four Ships that set sail out of Lisbon only thirty three returned the Spaniard losing in this Voyage Eighty one Ships and above thirteen thousand five hundred Souldiers and two thousand more taken Prisoners in England Ireland and the Low Countreys the rest of the Navy being lost and destroyed by the English the Dutch the Seas Rocks Sands and Tempests all seeming to conspire to the defeating of this proud and Insolent attempt But these sort of People will never take notice of Gods Judgments upon their wicked designs and enterprizes and notwithstanding all this they shut their Eyes and will not see that God is against them for they no sooner recover breath but they send over new Commissions and more cursed Emissaries disguised in all shapes into England with new Plots Contrivances and designs Lopez and his Confederates Cullen York Williams Squire Hesket all enter into a Conspiracy to kill the Queen being constantly encouraged by the Jesuits and the Spanish Ministers of State And these proving abortive in the year 1599. the Earl of Tyrone is stirred up to make a new Rebellion in Ireland having the same Pardons and Indulgences sent them as are usually given by the Popes to those that go to fight against the Turks And in the year 1601. the King of Spain sends a great Fleet of Souldiers to Kinsale in Ireland for the assistance of the Rebels But notwithstanding all these wicked and execrable designs this glorious and Heroick Queen of blessed memory having out-lived Four Kings and Eight Popes dyed in Peace and left her flourishing Kingdoms to her Successor King James And now the Papists being thus disappointed of their great hopes and expectations by the succession of a Protestant King to the Crown of England and thereby uniting into one Body Scotland England and Ireland one would have Imagined that all their contrivances would have been dasht since they could not well think that so long well settled a Reformation in Church and State could very easily be broken and confounded yet still they give not over but encourage one another in their wickedness and the Pope sent over two Bulls to deprive King James of the Crown and sought to raise divisions and dissentions amongst us But God continuing to frustrate all their designs they now grew as it were desperate and entred upon the most barbarous and Hellish Plot and contrivance that ever was hatched in the Brains or Hearts of men which is that which we call the Gunpowder Treason and which we yearly commemorate upon the Fifth of November they designing to act it on that day in the year 1605. This horrid design was contrived by divers Jesuits Priests and other English Papists who by undermining the Parliament-House and planting there Thirty six Barrels of Gunpowder intended by firing the same when both Houses were sitting to have blown up and destroyed not only the King as the Head of the Kingdom but with him his Queen the Prince and all the Royal Issue together with the Clergy Nobility and the chief of the Gentry of the whole Kingdom all should have perished together at one Blow and have become a Sacrifice to the enraged Lusts of these Bloody-minded Papists A Plot and Villany that no Age can parallel no Country ever could produce the like and which was as miraculously prevented and detected at if it were by the immediate finger of God who discovered their treasonable practices even within their dark Vaults and Cellars when the very Train was laid and fire almost put to it And in this horrid Conspiracy Catesby Piercy Faux Digby Garnet Hall c all Popish Priests were considerable Actors and Promoters and all sworn to secresie with Horrid Oaths and Imprecations taking the Holy Sacrament and engaging themselves one to another thereby and by their Faith in the Holy Trinity never to shrink from the Execution of this their Hellish Intention till they had performed the same They were likewise promised from abroad Ships and Men and ten hundred thousand Crowns to carry on their work And though this horrid Conspiracy has been sufficiently discovered and made plain by the confession of some of the Conspirators who were executed and by writings under their own hands yet according to their usual Impudence which they learned of their Predecessor Nero who when he had set Rome on Fire charged it upon the Christians the Papists intended to have laid that wicked Act upon the Puritans and since this they have endeavoured to make the world believe that it was a Contrivance of King James thereby endeavouring since they could not blow up the King with Gunpowder to blast his good Name and to make him odious to Posterity But three Kingdoms are not so easie to be deluded neither are we so horridly impious to mock God so solemnly with yearly Prayers and Thanksgivings neither need we think it so strange since Lyes Impudence are the grand supporters of the Papal Kingdom without which such a medly of Nonsence and Foolery would be hooted out of the world And from that time to this very day the Papists have been and are the Grand Disturbers of these Nations And it is sufficiently manifested that they had no small hand in our late Troubles since which they have continually sought the ruin and destruction of all Protestants
