them of it Narrat Ibidem At which Consult held in the month of May the Deponent was present to attend the Consulters deliuered their Concerns from Company to Company Obseruat You aduance two vntruths here One that the Consult as you ca●● it was held in May. It was ended on the 26. of April And very many of those assembled were at their respectiue Residences before May. Another vntruth is that you were there you were all that time at S. Ome● How you haue altred your story Colman's triall p. 20. By a Patent from Iesuits yo● were of the Consult Now you are cited only by the common Letter are not o● it but attend it as Letter carryer It is strang the Iesuits whose fac totum gran● Agent you were should employ your rare talents in so mean an office whic● any boy or common Porter would haue done Or that your hygh spirit did not disdain that employment But it seemes you would rather play small game then sit out so finding your story of the Patent your being of the Consult ridiculous you thrust your self vpon it as a mean Attendant But if this were all your employment what need of your calling from beyond seas Those who had trusted Treasonable Letters so long together to Common Posts their Factors myght haue trusted these Concerns to the first Porter they met or haue made vse of Honest William or aukward Pickering or some of those thousands whom they had engaged in the Plot. I desire you to satisfy these doubts Narrat Ibidem A little after they left the White-horse Tauern diuided themselues into soueral clubs or Companys All which did contriue the death of the King Obseru You are so puzzled with studying to hammer out your Fables that your head is giddy Iust now the Consultors were diuided into Companys in the Tauern you were busyed in carrying their Concerns from company to Company The next line they diuided into Companys after they left the Tauern But the real Truth is they neuer diuided into or met in seueral Companys that being against the nature of a Congregation according to all Orders what soeuer had been in that nature acted had been ipso facto null But what a fit subiect to deliberate on doe you the Taske-Master appoint them you relate the King's death as a thing resolued on about a twelue-month before that all their Letters to France Flandres Spaine Italy Germany Scotland Ireland seuerall parts of England spoke of it as a thing resolued on That men were hired to effect it by Pistol by Gun by Dagger by Poyson That some of these Ruffians had been punisht for not performing what they had vndertaken After all this as Consult forsooth is called Fifty of the Prime Iesuits summoned to meet to resolue it Iust as in som Barbarous nations a man suspected is hanged then his cause examined to see whether it were well don When I consider our Nation capable to be imposed vpon by such ridiculous storys I am half ashamed to own my self of it Narrat Ibidem Within three or four days after the Deponent went to S. Omers with the Fathers that came from the other side of the Water Obser You could not return with them first because you were not in England all that time Secondly because those Fathers did not return together The Rectors of Liege Watten returned immediatly to their seueral stations the one by France the other by Holland He of Gant stayd some days in England but far from London And these three were all that came from beyond seas to the Congregation Thus much of the Congregation The truth of the more essential parts is euidenced by the Attestations already drawn vp The rest will be by others when called for there being not one word related by me which is not known to many who will depose it vpon Oath when required To this Chapter of the Congregation I find little to the purpose in these two Pamphlets excepting rayling in P. very disingenious representing my mind by Anonimus Only the first p. 26. vrges that seing the meeting was not at the white-horse Tauern the Iesuits should discouer where it was And the later pag. 28. says a Traitor an English man are direct contradictions To the first I answer I do not beleiue the Iesuits will satisfy his curiosity in that it would be an ill requital of the fauour receiued from him who did not refuse their meeting vnder his roofe which would render him obnoxious to a violent malicious Faction It is enough for our purpose that by shewing the meeting was not at the white horse Tauern we conuince Oates's Periury in swearing it was there that he neuer was at it seing he knows not where it was To the second I answer it were happy for England that his words were tru that that Land had as great an Antipathy to Traytors as Ireland to venemous beasts But sure he was in a dream when he writ this velut aegri somnia vanae finguntur species Or else he dropt newly out of Viopia hearing all speak much of Loyalty and those cheifly who are most disloyal in their harts took all for gold that glisters Were they not Englishmen euen the Representatiue of all English men the Parliament who waged war on friuolous pretexts against the Late King And were they not Traitors And are not those who in all appearance endeauour to act ouer againe the like tragedy English men Nay do they not arrogate to themselues that title as peculiarly du to them whilest they terme themselues tru Patriots blast all Loyall men with the odious names of Courtiers Pensioners c What opinion hath this good man of his Readers who dares aduance such Paradoxes contrary to all sense experience as if vpon his credit we should beleiue it were bryght day at midnight well my vindication stands secure enough as long as it cannot be impugned but by such non sense CHAPTER VI. What hapned after his returne to S. Omers till he left that place NArrat p. 19. § 29. Th. White came to S. Omers on the 10. of Iune 1678 on the 11. spoke Treasonable words against the King Duke in the presence of Rich. Ashby Narrat pag. 19. § 30. Th. White told Rich. Ashby a minister had endeauoured to render Iesuits odious by Englishing their Morals the Prouincial sent the Deponent to England to kill the Translator which the Deponent vndertook to do hauing 50. l. reward promissed him by the sayd Prouincial And the Prouincial sayd hee the Society London would procure the death of Dr. Stilling fleet Pool Obseru All this was spoken by Mr. White in the presence of R.
