The Originall J have in my custody El Diabolico Titus Oates may bee proved a perjurer if hee swore that hee was at Madrid I writ a couple of lines to a friend in London to whom I sent the note Titus gave mee for the 10. pieces of 8. J lent him and by the way gave him to vnderstand that one Williams of whom his letter to Mr. Grace makes mention has presented himselfe Before the Parliament declaring himselfe to have had a hand in Sr. Edmunbury Godfreys death I know the said Williams to bee a knave and a highway Robber and Titus Oates told me that hee had stolen from him at Vagliadolid ten peices of 8. This Williams was here with his brother the one pretended himselfe to bee the young Lord Gerard. and the other his Tutor The one is a shoemaker the other a Carpenter they have vsed many cheats and other mad pranks amongst our Marchants This fellow is quallified to bee a Witnesse in the case hee hath obtained an vniversal pardon vnder the great seal but noe act of Grace nor oblivion can cancell the memory of his misdemeanours This man hath far more wit and cōfidence then Oates tho hee is only second and not principal in the Intrigue He and Oates swore stoutly against Mr. Colemā who took it vpō his salvatiō before and after sentēce and at the Gallows that he had never seen Oates before hee was brought into trouble nor Bedloe before the day of his Triall A third Person brought on the stage is one Prans a silver smith who hath sworn forward and backward several times in the Case hee is now for the Plot but I presume when the next fit comes he will swear against it Stephen Dugdale born of mean Parents in Darbyshire after some him spent in schoole was applyed to the plow but being foūd to have skill in Arithmeticke and a capacity for a better employment he was entertain'd by the Lord Ashtō for bailey After some years spent in that service honestly as is supposed hee turned spendthrift by frequenting foot races making matches abetting and loosing often such considerable somms as once of three hundred pound that to maintaine his Credit he vsed to imbezel his Lords money and play several other cheats things wel known and talked of in the neighbourhood before they were discovered by his Lord in October last which was on this occasiō Hee had told his Lord that certain Tenants had not payed their Rent whereof one coming in the way was asked the Reason who answered that is was payed long before the Lord asked his Bailey whether it were true hee stoode vpon the denial very confidently vntill the Tenant was brought in place Then hee fell vpon his knees begd his Lordships pardon promising future amendment if hee might keep his service which was granted at the intercession of a Gentleman then in the house provided hee would procure out of hand the money for which hee had sold two yoke of Oxen this hee vndertook to doe and assured his Lord that within few dayes the buyer would bring it but noe money Coming hee was asked who the buyer was hee said one of Newcastle and how a certain man of Stafford was wittnesse to the bargain The Lord found vpon enquiry at Stafford how the price of his Oxen had bin disposed of to pay a debt of his Baily About the same time he sold of certain Runts unknown to his Lord ād kept the money For these and many other cheating tricks notoriously known in the familie and Countrey about Tixall hee was turned out of service Towards the end of November he was committed to the Jaile of Stafford where hee took the Oaths but being asked by two Iustices of Peace whether hee knew any thing of the Plot. hee answered that hee knew nothing Yet on the 23. December having had notice of 200.l and other advātages that were promised to any one that would make further discovery of the Plot being now in a desper ate condition and never like to get out of Prison by reason of his debts layed hold on the proffer and feyned a false accusation You see vpon what account he is brought in shortly wee expect to have his depositions published I hope this short account wil satisfie you that there is noe plot I have made vse of one Topick only to defeat Oates his deposition to wit by making out that he and the Partyes accused were far asunder at such times as he fixes the Treason to which he laid to their charge Your selfe will reflect vpon the Absurdityes and Improbabilityes in the whole subject of his deposition As that Oates was a Iesuit a fellow unknown should be entrusted with secrets of most dangerous consequence and then turn'd away disgracefully to betray them To be cal'd by a particular Patent to consults to bee empowered to open letters That 40000. black Bills should be provided and yet be in visible That a Generall of a Religious Order should bee empowered to dispose of all Offices Military and Civil in the Kingdom by comissions That such honourable Persons of Estates and discretiō should bee so simple as to believe it and stake both life and Fortune on such a mad cast c. All the whole Contrivance is a meer midsommer nights dreame But all this increases the difficulty of the second Quere how the whole nation could be worked to such a temper as to belive it This is soone answered if the time were seasonable the successe of a plot doth not so much depend vpon the Composition as vpon the management There lyes all the art and wit Verbum sapienti satis Adieu FINIS

And before the end of the same moneth prevailed with the Jesuits to bee sent over to S. Omers He departed November 26. sti v on a munday from London in a coach to Dover and arrived at S.

How he brought a packet of Letters From Mr. Coleman delivered to him by Fenwick at London which saith he I opened when I came to S. Omers And some few lines after being asked by the Chief Iustice Did you break it open Oates I was at the opening of it and saw it and read it But this is a peccadillio not worth an animadversion What is material is that in the Packet there was a letter of thanks to Father Lechese for the 10000. pounds given for the propagation of the Catholick Religion and it should be employed for no other intent but for that for which it was sent which was to cut of the King of England pag. 19. Oates saith I delivered this letter to Father Lechese his owne hand pag. 20. he spoke Latin to P. Lechese which Lechese sends an Answer to this Letter I brought it to Saint Omers and there it was enclosed in a letter from the Society to Coleman Jt is not worth an observation that Oates spoke latin an Jgnorant Dolt that could not speak six words nor write 3. lines of true latin I must tell you the Character the spaniards gave of him wee have a mean opinion of the English Hereticks since so ignorant and ridiculous an animal could gain esteem amongst them This Letter mentioned in Col Trial contained Treason of the highest degree Oates received it at London from Fenwick brought it to S. Omers where hee was present at the opening and reading he delivered it to Lechese his owne hands and brought back his Answer to S. Omers so that Oates after his arrival at S. Omers must have gone to Paris to deliver the Letter and then returnd back to S. Omer But from his arrival at S. Omers which was the tenth day of December st n til the 23. of Iune st no on which day he departed for good and all hee never lay out of S. Omers but one or two nights at Watten the Iesuits Noviship 2. leagues distant this is deposed vpon Oath by 20. Persons before the Eschevins of the place and an Authentical Testimony is extant of it Are you satisfied now that Oates is perjured in another material point relating to this pretended conspiracy I come now to the maine body of the Plott Colemans Trial pag. 21.
