there were twelve men of one mind that thought them guilty and I am confident that there are twelve thousand of the same opinion and that all those who say to the contrary must speak it out of Ignorance or Prejudice As to the proofs against Mr. Langhorn you will find them very home and positive and first pag. 6. and 7. Mr. Dugdale is brought to prove the Plot in general which he again swears to as to their several Consultations and design of murthering the King and massacring the Protestants and bringing in of Popery to which also Mr. Prance concurs Then as to the particular Charge against Mr. Langhorn Dr. Oates swears pag. 10. that he carried several Letters from Mr. Langhorn to persons beyond the Seas in one of which he saw under his own hand That now they had a fair opportunity to begin and give the blow with many other expressions plain enough concerning the Plot and these he saw signed Richard Langhorn and then he farther swears that he had Orders from the Provincial to give Mr. Langhorn an account of the Resolutions and passages that were form'd and done at this Consult of the twenty fourth of April and that he gave him an account of the same and of their Resolution of killing the King and that the said Langhorn lift up his hands and eyes and pray'd to God to give to it a good success Then pag. 11. he swears he saw in his Chamber in the Inner-Temple lying on the side of his Desk certain Commissions which he had heard to have been sent over to him for several persons in England which they called Patents and that upon Dr. Oates his desire to see them he permitted him to peruse several of them which he did and there saw one Commission to the Lord Arundel of Wardour and another to the Lord Powis the one to be Lord High Chancellour the other to be Lord High Treasurer of England and to the Lord Bellasis to be General to the Lord Peters to be Lieutenant-General and one for Mr. Coleman to be Secretary of State and for Mr. Langhorn himself to be Advocate of the Army and that these were signed Johannes Paulus de Oliva by virtue of a Brief granted by the Pope These Commissions were signed with the Jesuits mark And that Mr. Langhorn told him he had sent one of these Commissions by his Son to be delivered to the Lord Arundel of Wardour's Son and that it was delivered And pag. 13. he swears that Mr. Langhorn being employed as Solicitour for several of the Fathers of the Society that upon his solicitation of the Benedictine Monks they had promised him 6000 li. for the carrying on of the Cause and that Mr. Langhorn promised in his hearing to do his utmost for the procuring the said money And also that he was much disgusted with Sir George Wakeman because he was not contented with 10000 li. to poison the King and pag. 14. he swears that Mr. Langhorn call'd the said Sir George Wakeman a covetous man and that since it was a publick concern it was no matter if he had done it for nothing but that he was a narrow-spirited and narrow-soul'd Physician Then an Instrument being produced in Court signed by Paulus de Oliva Mr. Oates swore that the Commissions he saw were signed by the same hand and had all the same mark but they were all convey'd away and this being onely concerning an Ecclesiastical business was left however this shews he used to receive Patents from and had Commerce with the Superiour of the Jesuits in Rome And this was found in Mr. Langhorn's Chamber a long time after Mr. Oates had given in his Testimony Then pag. 19. Mr. Bedlow swears he went with Mr. Coleman to Mr. Langhorn's Chamber and there Mr. Coleman gave him his Letters to Le Chese and to the Pope's Nuntio and to others open to reade and to register in a Book by him kept for that purpose and that he saw Mr. Langhorn reade these Letters which were concerning the design they had in hand and that he registred them in a Book in his Closet whilst he and Mr. Coleman walked in the outer Room and that afterwards Coleman sealed up these Letters and gave them to Mr. Bedlow who was to carry them to Le Chese the King of France his Confessour and that some of the expressions in those Letters were That all things were now in a readiness and that they onely wanted money That the Catholicks were now in safety and that all places and offices had been disposed to them and that all the Garrisons were already in their hands or would be put into their hands suddenly And that now they had a fair opportunity having a King so easy to believe what was dictated to him by their party and that if they mist the opportunity they might despair of ever introducing Popery into England This was the effect of most of the Letters and with them Mr. Langhorn was made acquainted and register'd them in a Book Pag. 20. he swears he brought Letters from Harcourt to Mr. Langhorn to be register'd which Mr. Langhorn receiv'd and register'd accordingly for he wrote by him to Harcourt that he had receiv'd the Letters by Mr. Williams which was the name that Bedlow then went by and that he would transcribe them and return them to him again Now these Letters were one of them declared to be from the Rectour of the Irish Colledge at Salamanca which specified that the Lord Bellasts and the rest of the Lords concerned and the whole party should be in a readiness and to have it communicated with all expedition for that they had sent some Irish Cashier'd Souldiers with many other Lay-Brothers under the notion of Pilgrims for S. Jago who were to take shipping at the Groin and to land at Milford-Haven in Wales and there to meet and join with the Lord Powis The other Letter was from Sir William Godolphin which Mr. Bedlow had brought out of Spain directed to the Lord Bellasis which was about the same design and was also register'd by Mr. Langhorn in a Book which he saw near 3 inches thick and that he guesses two thirds of the Book might be wrote out Now by this judge you whether the Indictment of High Treason be not proved against Mr. Langhorn and whether he be not guilty of this Treason and Conspiracy of bringing in Popery of levying War and killing the King by two several witnesses who have so positively sworn it against him The defence Mr. Langhorn makes for himself is no other then what his Brethren in Iniquity had done before him to deny the fact and to endeavour to invalidate the credit of the Witnesses by intrapping them in point of time and place And to this end pag. 14 15 16 c. he asks Mr. Oates many questions little to the purpose and onely to amuse the Auditours Then pag. 27. he would make Mr. Oates an Approver as having been pardoned for the same
