Chapman and asked him what that young Blade was that talked so promiscuously Chapman told me he was a Sergeant belonging to the Trained-Bands Tell me his Name his Name is Phillips Do you know his Trade or Dwelling He is a Gilder I think Then this is the same person I have heard of at a Coffee-house which was thus A Perfumer in Southwark he heard of great rumours about a new Common-wealth and pressing this Perfumer how he came to be thus informed sayes he there is one Phillips that lives in Abchurch-lane this man knows of it for sayes he he hath said himself that he has gone from Committee to Committee where Officers met about these things and he named Captain Foster for one that was engaged in the business said I this is strange I hastened back again in the morning to Captain Fosters Sir said I Do you know that Phillips that was here last night Yes sayes he What is he said I he answered a Sergeant The thing is this this man does talk abroad That there is a meeting of the old Officers and that you are engaged At which Captain Foster seeming to be troubled that he should be so aspersed answered I know nothing not one word of this I do declare an abhorrence thereto or of any action against His Majesty and thereupon presently went to Phillips and charged him wi●h this Report and soon after this Perfumer comes to my house and desired me to go over to the Cross-Keys where Phillips was When I came there says Phillips Sir I saw you the last night when we were talking of Ships I hope you do not minde the report about Captain Foster for I am troubled such a thing is mentioned For my part I know not that I said so I am sure I knew no such thing This was all as to Phillips But for Tonge I must needs say in all the meetings where I was the several places that I formerly named and the Whalebone behind the Exchange he still discoursed of this business Council What was done there concerning chusing the Council of Six Tyler He was spoke to be at the Shears but he sent a note sealed and directed in which was inclosed either nine or eleven of the Rump Parliament names of persons And says he see my part I cannot come this day because the Hamlets are to go out into the Field it was when Sir Iohn Robinson marched with his Regiment that I may avoid suspicion I must go with him Council What were those names Tyler I cannot tell but they were nine or eleven of those in the Tower And he promised he would get a note of those mens names in the Tower for he was confident of it that they would sit as Members and do good service upon the account of a Commonwealth And said there were some that had a correspondence with them in the Tower Council What correspondence had they in the Countrey Tyler Tonge told me at the Wheat-sheaf That if a rising should be it were necessary that the old Commanders up and down the Countrey should head them And therefore says he What forces can be raised should go under that Conduct or to that effect he and Elkin did propose several Colonels I think most that are now living both in England and beyond the Seas Council Can you tell any thing of the rumors abroad expecting this design Tyler Tonge told me this That there was one that they called the Lord Lockhart he said he was Governor of Dunkirk that he had thirty or forty servants about him that these persons expected a rising and that they and himself would engage We heard that Col.
