THere having been lately detected a Horrid Conspiracy against the Lives of the King and the Duke of York the established Government of Church and State and the Liberties of the English Nation We do Present the said Conspiracy to be still manifestly carried on as appears by the Practices of the Republican and Fanatical Faction And likewise by the Declarations of some of the Conspirators themselves at the place of Execution Holloway particularly delivering himself in his Confession and Narrative in these very words There would be no want of Men if it speaking of the Insurrection were once begun And afterward If we should name every one that we thought would be concerned I believe we might name three parts of London Giving therein to understand that they expected as well to be seconded by those that were only Well-willers to the Cause as by others that were Actually engaged in the Malice of the Design We do therefore Present as our Opinion that all those who either by Open favour or Connivence Directly or Indirectly by Word Counsel or Action give Countenance or Encouragement to any Seditious or Schismatical Disturbers of the Publick Peace are and ought to be comprized within the number of the aforesaid Well-willers to the interest of that Cause and Party And we do the rather Present and humbly Recommend this to consideration in regard of the many Frauds and Artifices that are commonly made use of for the Inveigling of the credulous Multitude seducing the Ignorant corrupting the Vain and improving all occasions and ill humors toward the dishonour both of the King and of the Church and the embroiling of the Government And whereas it has been the constant Method of these Turbulent Spirits as well in printed Libels and written News-Letters as in their ordinary Discourses to Revile and Slander the King and the Church to Calumniate his Majesties Ministers of State and Justice and all Loyal Subjects that out of a sense of Conscience and Duty have either Acted spoken or written in Defence of the Government Ecclesiastical and Civil and for the undeceiving of his Majesties Liege People By means whereof they have endeavoured as much as in them lay not only to blast the Memory of all honest men but even to stigmatize Virtue and Loyalty it self In contemplation of these Outrages against Humanity Duty good Manners and common Justice We do Present as our further Opinion the necessity of fixing some publick Mark of Infamy upon all scandalous and seditious printed Books Pamphlets and Papers of the Quality above-mentioned to prevent the transmitting of so many Honourable Names with Infamy to Posterity We do likewise Present that Factious Coffee-men Victuallers and Ale-house-Keepers in this Borough have greatly contributed to our late Divisions and that divers of them do still continue to make their Houses the Receptacles of Disloyal and ill-affected Persons in suspicious numbers Notwithstanding their entire dependence upon his Majesties Grace and Bounty for the Livelihood of Themselves and their Families In which regard we Present it needful that some effectual course be taken with them either for their suppression or their better behaviour for the future Jonadab Ballam Edward Collingwood John Gerard.
