two or three to prove it we were an hour or two discoursing together about this business Coll. What business L. c. j. He tells you of two Discourses one before you went to Oxford and one after you came from thence Coll. He does say that I discoursed him about our coming down hither to Oxford that the Parliament would secure the King and that I would be one of them that should seize him and this was at the time when we dined with Alderman Wilcox L. c. j. Not so he says after that time and before you went to Oxford he had such a discourse with you Mr. Smith Yes my Lord so it was Coll. And does he speak of another time when I shewed him the Back Breast and Arms Mr. Smith Yes Coll. But he said I discoursed then that the City was provided with Arms and that the Parliament were resolved to bring the King to submission Mr. Smith When I was in the House with him he then said Mr. Wilcox gave Mony to provide Arms I asked for what he said it was to bring the King to submission to his People and then he added he admired that Rowley did not remeber how easily his Fathers Head came to the Block and he doubted not but that would be the end of him too L. c. j. He spake of several times you know Coll. I do not know one word of it nor can distinguish the times But Mr. Smith the last discourse you say about Oxford business was by the Ditch side Mr. Ser. Jeff. The Discourse about bringing the King to submission was in the way as you went to dinner Mr. Smith The last Discourse when you returned from Oxford was by the Ditch side but both before and after you spake to me at that place about this design of bringing the King to submission Colledge You said it was at Wilcox's at Dinner Mr. Ser. Jeff. You mistook him then Colledge Nay Sir George you took him not right Mr. Ser. Jeff. I have taken him right I assure you and you shall see it by and by Colledge He is the falsest man that ever spoke with a tongue Mr. Att. Gen. Swear Bryan Haynes which was done Tell my Lord and the Jury whether you know this Gentleman what converse you have had with him and what discourse he hath had with you Apply your self to Mr. Colledges business only Haynes I suppose he will not deny but that he knows very well I have been acquainted with him ever since March last before the sitting of the Parliament at Oxford My Lord there was a Warrant against me for High Treason and I made my application to Mr. Colledge and desired him to go to a certain Person of Honour in England and ask his advice whether I might supercede the Warrant by putting in Bayl and carry the Supercedeas in my pocket Mr. Colledge told me he would go to this person of Honour for he would do nothing of his own head and he bid me come to him the next day My Lord I came to Mr. Colledge the very next day and I met him at his House and I asked him what was the result and what advice he had from that person of Quality he bid me be of good chear that the Parliament would be and sit at Oxford soon that I should not value the King a pin for said he the King is in a worse condition than you or I for you shall see said he he shall be called to an account for all his Actions Mr. Serj. jeff. Who should Haynes The King for all the world may see says he that he does resolve to bring in Arbitrary Power and Popery And said he unless he will let the Parliament sit at Oxford since he hath called them together and put the people to charges in chusing of them and them in coming down we will seize him at Oxford and bring him to the Block as we did the Logger-head his Father The Parliament shall sit at Guildhall and adjust the Grievances of the Subject and of the Nation And you shall see said he that no King of his Race shall ever reign in England after him L. c. j. Where was this he said so Haynes At his own House I met him and he and I did walk all along from his own House over the Bridge that is against Bridewel and so went all along till we came to the Hercules-Pillars and we had some discourse there we went up one pair of stairs and called for Beef and all this discourse was in that very place of the Hercules-Pillars Mr. Serj. Holloway Do you know any thing of any Arms he had and for what Haynes But Sir said I to Mr. Colledge how can this be done 't is a thing impossible You pretend you say to the Duke of Monmouth that he is a fine Prince and stands up for the Protestant Interest Alas said he we make an Idol of him to adumbrate our Actions for fear we should be discovered Do you think the wise people of England shall ever make a Bastard upon Record King of England No said he for though we praise his Actions yet we cannot endure him because he is against his own Father But said he further unless the King do expel from his Council the Earl of Clarindon cunning Lory Hide the Earl of Hallifax that great Turn-coat Rogue that was before so much against the Papists a Rascal we shall see him hang'd and all the Tory Counsellors except the King do it we will make England too hot for him Coll. Who did I say this to to you Haynes Yes to me Coll. Pray how could this be possible Haynes Yes you knew my condition and I intimated to you at that time That I was as much for Treason and Villany as you But then said I to him how can this be done Here you have neither Officers nor men of experience nor men of knowledge nor you have no Ammunition Sea-port Towns nor Ships And besides the King said I hath a great party in the Land and the Duke of York likewise and for all the men of Estates and the ancient Gentlemen they will not be disturbed and to quit their Ease for a civil War Oh says he you are mistaken for we have in the City 1500 Barrels of Powder and we have 100000 men ready at an hours warning and we have ordered every thing in a due method against the sitting of the Parliament at Oxford and you shall see England the most glorious Nation in the World when we have cut off that beastly Fellow Rowley and speaking of the King he said He came of the Race of Buggerers for his Grandfather King James buggered the old Duke of Buckingham and he called him Captain and sometimes the King and sometimes Rowley Mr. Ser. Jeff. This was pure Protestant discourse upon my word Haynes Then he railed at Judge Pemberton and said he let him try Fitz-Harris if he dare I shall see him go to Tyburn for it I
particular what was said at Oxford and what at London as 't is now being done in both Counties But look you if you will ask any particular questions do for they have other Witnesses to produce Coll. My Lord I only ask this question Whether it be not rational to think that when he swore before Sir Lionel Jenkins he should not swear the words were spoken and things done Mr. Dugd. He hath said the same words to me at my Lord Lovelace's as I lay in Bed with him and this I never mentioned but now in my Evidence Coll. What words did I say there Mr. Dugd. If you must have them repeated they were about the King Coll. What were they Mr. Dugd. That he was a Papist and designed Arbitrary Government Coll. Did I say so to you at my Lord Lovelace's Mr. Dugd. Yes as we lay a Bed Mr. Sol. Gen. Did you lye together Mr. Ser. Jeff. Yes yes they were intimates Colledge I had not six words with you when you went to Bed for you said you were weary and went asleep presently Mr. Dugd.

Where was it I said those words in Oxford Mr. Dugd. At Combe's coffe-house was one place Coll. Was there no body by Mr. Dugd. No but at the Angel-Inn there were several persons standing by Coll. Surely then some of those heard the words as well as you Mr. Dugd. It may be so I am sure many at London have been by as Mr. Starkey by name Mr. Boson Mr. Baldwin they have rebuked you for it and I have rebuked you too Coll. What words have they and you heard and rebuked me for Mr. Dugd. When you have been railing against the King and said That he designed nothing but the introducing of Popery and Arbitrary Government and that he was a Papist Mr. Ser. Jeff. He loves to hear it repeated Coll. What Arms did you see of mine in this Town Mr. Dugd. I saw Pistols you had a case of Pistols before you and you had some Pocket-Pistols Coll. None but one I borrowed of you and that you had again had I pray speak did you see any more Mr. Dugd. It may be there might not but there were Pocket-Pistols in the room and you had them in your hand Colledge He swore but now that he saw me have Pocket-Pistols when it was but one and that was his own Mr. Serj. Jeff. Heark you now you talk of Pistols do you know that he had any Pistols in his Holsters at Oxford Mr. Dugd. Yes he had Coll. Yes I know that I don't deny it Mr. Serj. jeff. I think a Chissel might have been more proper for a Joyner Coll. You say I was confederated with Capt. Brown and other men Mr. Dugd. You have told me that Captain Brown had agood Allowance and it was pity he had not a better Allowance and you would speak he might have a better Allowance for he was able to do good service when the time came Colledge From whom Mr. Dugd. Among you Colledge Among whom Mr. Dugd. You know there were several Gatherings among you that I was not privy to Colledge What do I know Mr. Sol. Gen. You know mony was gathered many times Colledge For what purpose Mr. Dugd. You never told me particulars it was to distribute some where I had none of it L. c. j. He does not say these men were concerned with you but you said so Mr. Dugd. You know Mr. Colledge there were many Gathering of monies Coll. Did I tell you there were any Gatherings for Capt. Brown Mr. Serj. jeff. He says you told him no particulars if you have a mind to ask him any more Questions do Coll. Pray Sir George don't interrupt me I am here for my Life Did I tell you there were any Gatherings for Capt. Brown Mr. Dugd. I do not say for him nor whom you distributed it to but you gathered mony one among another and you have paid mony Colledge I have paid mony when and to whom Mr. Att. Gen.
