Circumstances if your Lordships be satisfied he went for that purpose do necessarily knit the positive Testimony of Saxon and amount to a second Witness That is if Saxon's positive Testimony be true then suppose all these Circumstances that gove the Jealousie do make up a strong presumption to joyn with the positive Evidence of Saxon then you have two witnesses as the Law requires especially if the answer given by the Prisoner to those Circumstances be not sufficient as the slender account he gives of his so frequent Journeys in so short a compass of time but that there still remains some Suspicion I could have wished indeed that matter might have been made somewhat more clear that no shadow of Suspicion might remain Your Lordships are Judges And if you do not believe the Testimony of Saxon whose Testimony hath been so positively contradicted by divers Witnesses of Quality the Prisoner ought to be acquitted of this Indictment If your Lordships please You may go together and consider of it Lords Ay withdraw withdray Then the Peers withdrew in their order according to their Precedency with the Serjeant at Arms before them Lord High Steward Lieutenant of the Tower take your Prisoner from the Barr The Prisoner was taken into the little Room appointed for him at the entrance into the Court.

came to Lyme and landed there and did afterwards order his March so that he might most conveniently meet with his Cheshire Friends that is towards Gloucester and so to get Gloucester Bridg that thereby gaining the command of the River of Severn those of Cheshire if they did as was expected make an Insurrection at the same time they might easily join together In pursuance of this design we came to Keinsham Bridg and there a party of the Kings Horse set upon us and we took some Prisoners and thereupon thought it advisable not to let the Kings Army join together but to go back and engage those that were already come together and that was the reason we did not go over the Bridg. Mr. Att. Gen. Do you know any thing of Jones's coming into Holland and for what Mr. Wade My Lord I had forgot that a little before Crags going last away Jones came over and his business was to know why we staid so long for the Duke of Monmouth's Friends in England had expected him long before and he was dispatch'd away quickly to acquaint them the Duke was coming Mr. Att. Gen. Who was he sent to to acquaint with his coming VVade To Major Wildman he was directed to Major Wildman Mr. Att. Gen. Who else were to be acquainted with it Wade Among the rest my Lord Delamere my Lord Macclesfield and my Lord Brandon were to be acquainted that he was coming and expected that they should raise what Forces they could to assist him Lord H. Stew. Will my Lord Delamere ask him any Questions Lord Delamere No my Lord I never saw his Face before tat I know of Lord H. Stew. Who do you go to next Mr. Attorney Mr. Att. Gen. Next we call Richard Goodenough Swear him which was done That which I would know of you Mr. Goodenough is Whether Jones was sent of my Message and about what Goodenough My Lord I was beyond Sea with the Duke of Monmouth and Mr. Jones was sent among other persons to my Lord Delamere to give him notice that he should be ready against the time that the Duke should land and take care to secure himself that he might not be seized here in Town for we were apprehensive such a thing would be attempted Mr. Att. Gen. What directions were given him what Lords to go to Goodenough My Lord we were informed in Holland that my Lord Delamere was one of those Lords that had promised to draw his Sword in his behalf Mr. Att. Gen. Had you any discourse with the Duke of Monmouth about it at any time Goodenough Yes I have discoursed with the Duke of Monmouth several times Lord H. Steward Ay what did he say to you about it Goodenough My Lord he said among other things that he hoped my Lord Delamere would not break his promise with him Lord H. Stew. My Lord Delamere will you ask him any Questions Lord Delamere No my Lord I never saw his Face before that I know of I will assure you Lord H. Stew. That is pretty strange so famous an Under-Sheriff of London and Middlesex as he was Mr. Att. Gen. Then swear Jones which was done Pray will you give an account what Message you received from the Duke of Monmouth upon your going over into Holland and to whom you were to deliver it and what became of it Jones My Lord I went to Holland about the latter end of April last my going as I have acquainted his Majesty and the Council was not only about this Affair for I had other business that called me thither which I shall not now take up your time or trouble you with repeating of but having some knowledg from Mr. Disney that there were some intentions of doing something tho it was communicated to me but very darkly and therefore that little I did know made me the willinger to go for Holland so soon as I did but before I went I had a mind to understand something more of the design and therefore the night before I went I came to Mr. Disney and acquainted him with my intended Journey Mr. Disney did perswade me against it thinking that I had gone upon this account but I told him the occasion which he partly knew why I went but withal I told him I did intend to see the Duke of Monmouth and if he had any Message that he would have delivered to him I would deliver it very safely he told me all the Message I should deliver to the Duke of Monmouth if I saw him was to desire him to keep to the last Conclusion which he would find in a Letter that had been sent to him and that if he had not yet received the Letter it was to come by the Crop-hair'd Merchant or the Crop-ear'd Merchant I cannot say which but I think it was the Crop-hair'd I asked him what that Message was lest the Letter should miscarry for I told him if I should go to the Duke of Monmouth and refer him to a Letter wherein a Message was to be brought him which he was to keep to and that Letter should miscarry I should in effect bring no message at all to him my Lord thereupon he told me that I should acquaint the Duke of Monmouth that his Friends in England would not by any means have him come for England but that he should continue where he was or if he thought good to go for Scotland they approved of it this is the sum of what he said to me as near as I can remember When I came to Amsterdam there was one Mr 〈◊〉 that was kill'd at Philips Norton went with me to the Duke of Monmouth's and when I came to him I acquainted him as Mr. Disney appointed me to do that there was such a letter sent by such a person and that such a Message was included in it My Lord he was in a great passion I know not how to express it and seemed to be very much troubled and did reflect very much upon Major Wildman and said that was Wildman's work and he said as I think that was the word he used Wildman was a Villain or to that purpose but withal he said it was too late to send such a message now and that he was resolved to come for England and he would make VVildman hang with him or fight for it with him that Wildman did think by tying his own purse he should tye his hand but he should find it should not be so and some other words of the like nature he used but this is the substance of what he said he gave some account what preparations had been made he said Money was very short and he had been fain to pawn all he had to raise what Money was raised upon his own charge He asked me if I did think to return to England shortly I told him if he had any service to command me for England I had some little business to do at Rotterdam which I would dispatch and then I
