up further to clear and unmask this detestable and bloody Conspiracy Dr. Oats was resolved as much as in him lay to prevent their Traiterous designs upon his Majesties Life though he endangered his own thereby since he observed that all their Contrivances were ripe and there only wanted the Fatal Blow to destroy the life of his Sacred Majesty and the Religion and Liberties of these three Kingdoms And whereas Father Whitebread the Provincial of the Jesuits had engaged Dr. Oats before his last return into England to assassinate and murder Israel Tongue Doctor of Divinity because he had translated a Book Intituled The Jesuits Morals and had promised him Fifty pound as a reward for the same Dr. Oats after his coming over became acquainted with Dr. Tongue and finding him to be a person of Trust and Integrity he gave him an Account of his Assassination and likewise some Heads of the Plot in General After which they both seriously Consulted together of the best methods for making this necessary Discovery since they were sure to meet with great opposition therein At last they concluded to acquaint Mr. Christopher Kirby therewith as a person whom for his Loyalty Courage and zeal for the Safety of his Majesties Person and the Protestant Religion they judged very fit and capable to assist them and therefore on Monday August 12. 1678. Dr. Tongue shewed Mr. Kirby Forty three Articles drawn up in writing desiring him that without making any other Person acquainted therewith he would discover the same to the King And Mr. Kirby very generously undertook the same and accordingly the next morning in St. James's Park he humbly acquainted his Majesty That his Enemies had a Design against his Life and humbly beseeched his Majesty to use all Caution for he did not know but he might be in danger in that very walk But his Majesty armed with his Native goodness and Innocency seemed more surprized with the Strangeness of the News than with the apprehension of the danger and only asked How that could be To which Mr. Kirby replyed That it might be by being shot at And gave a particular account that there were two men Grove and Pickering by name that watched an opportunity to shoot his Majesty and that another Person was hired to Poyson him His Majesty ordered further Scrutiny should be made into the business and a while after Doctor Oats having written fair Copies of his Informations upon the 28. of September 1678. went to Sir Edmundbury Godfrey and made Oath of the truth and reality thereof Sir Edmundbury desiring to keep a Copy of the Informations himself as having never before perused them which it may be was the occasion of his horrid Murther which soon after followed The Plot in General seemed to be by Fire and Sword to subvert and destroy the Protestant Religion and established Government of these three Kingdoms and to reduce them to Popery The chief Conspirators being Innocent 11 th now Pope who in The Congregation for propagating the Faith held about Decemb. 1677. and consisting of about 350. Persons Declared All His Majesties Dominions to be part of St. Peters Patrimony as forfeited to the Holy See for the Heresie of the Prince and People and to be disposed of as he should think fit And our English Cardinal Howard was appointed by the Pope to take Possession of England in his Name who was likewise made Archbishop of Canterbury and other Popish Priests were made Bishops in England all the present Bishops being designed to be removed from their Dignities Johannes Paulus de Oliva Father General of the Jesuits was to give Directions to the Provincial of the Jesuits in London how to manage their Affairs Mounsieur le Chese a Jesuit Confessor to the French King was likewise concerned with whom Edward Coleman held correspondence Also Strange and Whitebread Provincials of the Jesuits and the Benedictine Monks of the Savoy were in this cursed Conspiracy and the Jesuits and Seminary Priests of whom there were at that time in England about Eighteen Hundred Divers Lay Persons of Quality were drawn in who were to command Forces and to execute the Great Offices of the Realm as the Lord Arundel of Warder was appointed Lord Chancellour of England the Lord Powis Lord Treasurer Sir William Godolphin Lord Privy Seal Edward Coleman Secretary of State and for the Military part Lord Bellasis to be Lord General Lord Peters Lieutenant General Sir Francis Ratcliff Major General John Lambert Adjutant General Richard Langhorn Advocate General who had Commissions sent them from Paulus de Oliva and directed from Rome to Mr. Langhorn This was so great and glorious a work that the chiefest of the Romish Clergy through Europe were engaged therein so that it cannot be said to be the Act or Contrivance of any few particular Persons but The unanimous undertaking of their whole Church and so to their everlasting Infamy ought to be Recorded Now as to the Means whereby this was to be accomplished the first and chief was By Murdering his Sacred Majesty which was to be accomplisht either by Pistolling of him wherein Pickering and Grove were ingaged or by Stabbing and this to be done by Conyers and Anderton Benedictine Monks or four Irish Ruffians Or lastly by Poysoning for which Money was payd to the Undertaker 2. Another means was by firing London Westminster and the parts adjacent and likewise other Cities and great Towns in England immediately upon the Murder of his Majesty 3. By a General Massacre to which purpose they had designed to raise an Army which was to consist of Fifty Thousand men to be Listed in and about London The Officers to be all Resolute Papists and for the most part French and Irish and these they gave out were enough to cut the Throats of One Hundred Thousand Protestants especially being taken upon a Surprize when the Militia of London was undisciplined and unprovided Care was taken likewise about securing Ireland and Scotland to their Interest Great sums of Money were provided for the necessary charge of this mighty undertaking and it was discoursed that the Jesuits in England had purchased a great Estate per Annum for that purpose and that they had a great Stock in ready Money and were to receive Eleven thousand Crowns from Rome Ten thousand pound from Spain and Ten thousand from France besides several other very considerable summs for promoting this vast design And this is a brief Abstract of this bloody and Hellish Popish Plot abundance of other particulars being omitted whereby it appears that this Horrid Plot is hardly to be parallel'd in any History considering that without any provocation so many Thousand Protestants were designed for slaughter destruction and Murder only to advance and promote the Holy Catholick Religion as they falsly call that Chaos of Blasphemy and Cruelty Presently after this Remarkable discovery happened the murther of that worthy Magistrate Sir Edmondbury Godfry who as is before related having taken the
the Pope he Alighted from his Horse to receive him and held the Popes Stirrup while he Alighted also but it seems he mistook the Left Stirrup instead of the Right at which the Pope seemed to be very much offended which the Emperour observing he smilingly told the Pope That he desired to be excused since he was not accustomed to hold Stirrups with which acknowledgment the Pope seemed to be satisfied After this there happened some difference between the Pope and the Emperour whereupon the Pope curseth him and sends his Letters out against him to all the Princes of Christendom declaring that he was an accursed person and ought to be avoided and cast out of all Christian company He likewise stirred up his Subjects in Rebellion against him The Emperour then marched to Rome to chastise his pride but the Pope fled to Venice and the Venetians being required to send him to Frederick refused it whereupon the Emperour sent his Son Otho against him with men and Ships very well furnished but withal charged him by no means to attempt any thing against the Venetians till he himself came But the young man being full of heat and desire of glory ventured to ingage the Enemy and was by them overthrown and himself taken prisoner Upon this misfortune the compassionate Father to release his Son from captivity and misery was forced to submit to whatever Conditions of Peace the Pope should demand whereby it was at last agreed that the Emperour should come into S. Marks Church at Venice and there kneeling down at the Popes feet he should receive Absolution and forgiveness This the Emperour performed and the proud Pope setting his foot upon the Emperours Neck said that verse in the Psalm Thou shalt tread upon Lyons and Adders the young Lyon and the Dragon shalt thou trample under foot which the Pope applied to the Emperour but the Emperour answered Not to thee but to Peter this power is given The Pope replied Both to me and to Peter The Emperour fearing further quarrels durst say no more but was absolved and his Son was restored to his liberty III. Not long after this that is in the time of that famous King Henry the Second one Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury was by his extraordinary pride and insolence the occasion of very great disturbance to the King and Kingdome for the King calling his Nobles and the Clergy together desired that some Clergy-men might be called to answer for some Villanies by them committed for it was proved that several persons had been murdered by their means This Thomas Becket would not consent unto without a Clause of seeing this Order which very much displeased the King but by the perswasion of his Brethren Becket afterward consented yet being incouraged by the Pope he again fell off and repented of what he had done which the more inraged the King against him This quarrel continued many years and the King was so tormented by this proud Prelate that he once passionately cryed out Will no body avenge me of this Becket These words were spoken in the Hearing of some Gentlemen who thereupon guessing at the Kings mind four of them presently went to Canterbury and finding the Archbishop in the Cathedral there they fell upon him and kill'd him upon the Stairs of the Altar every one striking him over the head with his Sword and then made their escape This Murder was charged upon the King by the Popes Legate and though the King swore that he was neither aiding nor consenting to his death yet he was forced to kiss the Legates Knee and submit to such Penance as he should appoint him one part whereof was that he should absolutely submit to the Pope in all spiritual matters And it is likewise recorded that King Henry coming out of France went to Canterbury and as soon as he was in fight of Thomas Beckets Church he got off his Horse and pulling off his Shoes and Stockins he went barefoot o Beckets Tomb the ways being so sharp and stony that his feet bled as he passed along and when he came there every Monk in the Cloister whipt the Kings Back with a Rod which shews saith the Historian what slavery Kings and Princes were at that time brought into by the Popes Clergy The same year the City of Canterbury was almost burnt down and Beckets Church was utterly consumed This Becket was afterward Canonized for a Saint but a Popish Historian saith of him That he was worthy death and damnation for being so obstinate against Gods Minister his King IV. King John the Son of Henry the Second was likewise made sensible of the danger of offending the Pope for in the year 1205. the King being incensed against the Clergy who possessed great Benefices and yet neglected their Charge he endeavoured to rectifie this and some other great miscarriages about Electing Bishops and several other things But the Pope fearing he would intrench upon his privileges and gain stirred Heaven and Earth against him Excommunicating and cursing him giving his Kingdome to the French King and stirring up his own Nobility and people against him so that the King being compassed about with Enemies on every side was forced to submit to the Pope promising to do whatever he should command him Nay the King took his Crown off his head and kneeling upon his knees in the midst of all his Lords and Barons he gave it to Pandulphus the Popes Legate saying Here I resign up the Crown of the Realm of England to the hands of Pope Innocent the Third and lay my self wholly at his mercy and appointment Pandulphus took the Crown from King John and kept it five days and the King giving then all his Kingdomes to the Pope to be held in Farm from him and his Heirs for evermore his Crown was restored again King John engaging to pay seven hundred Marks a year for England and three hundred for Ireland half of it at Easter and half at Michaelmas as Rent for the said Kingdomes This King John was afterward poysoned by a Monk which was judged such a Meritorious Act that the Murderer had a Mass appointed to be said for his Soul for ever after by his Fellow-Monks V. Pope Celestine the Third standing upon the Stairs of S. Peters Church in Rome he there received an Oath of Henry the Sixth Emperour of Germany and then had him into the Church and anointed him and sitting in his Pontifical Chair held the Crown of Gold between his feet and the Emperour bowing down his head to the Popes feet received the Crown the Empress likewise was Crowned in the same manner The Crown being thus put on the Pope immediately kickt it off the Emperour's Head with his foot to the ground declaring thereby that if he pleased he could depose him again Then the Cardinals took up the Crown and again put it on his Head VI. Nay to such a height did the Popes at last arrive that they governed all things Emperours
by the Proofs they have heard that there now is and for divers years last past hath been an horrid and Treasonable Plot and Conspiracy contrived and carried on by those of the Popish Religion for the Murdering of his Majesties Sacred Person and for subverting the Ptotestant Religion and the Ancient and Established Government of this Kingdom John Brown Cleric Perliam Let us conclude all with the Thanksgiving of the Church of England set forth by Authority upon the Discovery of the Gunpowder Treason in 1605. NOt unto us O Lord not unto us but to thy Name be ascribed all honour and glory in all Churches of the Saints throughout all Generations for thou Lord hast discovered the Snares of Death thou hast broken them and we are delivered be thou still our mighty Protector and scatter our Cruel Enemies which delight in Blood Infatuate their Counsel and root out that Babilonish and Antichristian Sect which say of Jerusalem Down with it down with it even to the Ground and to this end strengthen the hands of our Gracious King the Nobles and Magistrates of the Land with Judgment and Justice to cut off these workers of Iniquity whose Religion is Rebellion whose Faith is Faction whose Practice is Murthering of Souls and Bodies and to root them out of the Confines and Limits of this Kingdom that they may never prevail against us and Triumph in the ruin of thy Church And give us grace by true and serious Repentance to avert these and the like Judgments from us This Lord we earnestly crave at thy mercifull hands together with the continuance of thy powerfull Protection over our Dread Soveraign the whole Church and these Realms and the speedy confusion of our Implacable Enemies and that for thy dear Sons sake our only Mediator and Advocate Amen PSALM 91.

FRom the First plantation of the Christian Religion in this Nation under King Lucius there was never any King or Queen of England in whose reign so much Christian blood was spilt as in four years space during the Reign of Queen Mary But as she was prodigal of the Lives of the best of her subjects and a Persecutor of the Gospel so it pleased God to follow her with Plagues and Judgments all her life for nothing prospered which she took in hand of which we shall give some few Instances The fairest and greatest Ship she had called the Great Harry was burnt by Lightning from Heaven the Christian world at that time not affording such another Then she would needs marry Phillip King of Spain thereby Subjecting England to Strangers yet with her utmost endeavour she could never set the English Crown on his head Then did she attempt the Restitution of Abby Lands and had all the assistance that
