AN EXACT RELATION OF The great and bloudy Designe of the Malignant Party at Edmondsby in Suffolke SJR THE opportunity which I have here embraced and the good Tydings which I have to accompany it hath moved me to set Pen to Paper and to acquaint you with the horrid Conspiracy and malicious Design of the Malignant Party at Edmondsby in Suffolk against the People of God and the Members of Jesus Christ who for their faithfulnesse and zeal to the Gospel of Christ by endeavouring to maintain the purity of Religion with the losse and hazzard both of lives and fortunes the inveterate malice mischievous intentions of these ravening and devouring Spirits began to grow to some maturity and to appear in a most vild and bloudy shape for these wicked Members of Sathan and Enemies to God Religion had so conspired together against the people of God that they were resolved to prosecute their Designe in case that any of them should presume to open their shops on Christmas day and to that end had prepared divers weapons for the executing of the same the particulars together with the manner of this Conspiracy I shal here present to the view of all good Christians as shall manifestly appear by these ensuing lines viz. In Edmondsbury in Suffolk God hath delivered his people from a great and evill Designe complotted by the Malignant Party in the Town the manner thus The Prentices and divers rude deboyst Fel loweso the number of a hundred and fifty or thereabouts had listed themselvs together and had gotten three Captains And this was their Design to get together at the Crosse being the place appointed for to meet on the 25 of this instant Moneth of December commonly called Christmas day And their resolutions and determinations were that whosoever should set open their Shops on the said day they were resolved to pluck out the owners and fire their houses and kill them if they resisted and pull out their goods and lay wast and desolate those stately Buildings and dwelling Houses which are the grace and ornament of the Town And the better to accomplish their Design the Conspirators had provided great Clubs with great nailes crosse the end of each Club every Naile weighing a pound But their mischievous Designe were discovered before-hand by some Prentices to whom the Mutiniers came for their hands And on the Wednesday some stirred about it for prevention of mischiefe and went to the Magistrates and informed them thereof Whereupon to prevent the gaeat danger that might thereby arise Divers of them having skil in the Law found it would bee upon themselves if they suffered such a thing to be therefore they sent for divers the day folowing of the conspirators and laid the Law to them and bound them over to the Seassions And on Christmas day most of the chiefe Magistrates and many constables and other Officers assembled together Afterwards there were about thirty or forty about Mr. Lanseters dore in the place called the Cook-row his shop bring open And there Proclamation was made and in severall places more that those which were not in their own houses with in half an houre should be imprisoned And some were laid hold on and frighted so that there was onely a litle hurt done two men being wounded beyond the horse-market towards the end of the Town for when the wel-affected Party began to assemble themselvs together for the appeasing of these tumultuous Villians some of them made at them with their clubs wounded these two but it s hoped not mortal though indeed as yet they seeme very dangerous by reason of the deepnesse of the wounds and the festering of them But after a short time these Viperous Rascals were apeased and the streets cleansed on these Vermine so that their-bloudy Designes were frustrated and mischievous and machavilian Plot discovered For the Great God of Heaven would not suffer his People to bee left as a prey unto the mercilesse Malignants teeth And it is to be minded that above all they aymed at Mr. Lanceter who was not possessed with fear of them but quietly waited upon the Lord with expectation of Deliverance from the hands of God which he had and was preserved though hee used no outward meanes to attain it himself But this the Lord did to give his People more experience of his goodnesse and hee is able to do much more for his hand is never shortned And therefore let all the Godly Saints and praying People according to the Direction of the Spirit of Christ from the consideration and experience of Gods former loving kindnesses and preservations rest upon him for future times Thus having given you a briefe and exact Relation of the great and bloudy conspiracie complotted by the Malignant Party at Edmonby in Suffolke I shall humbly take my leave and remaine Your affectionate Servant L.
