be informed thereof that in the mean time no other noyse should be made about it that the Design might ripen and be the fitter for Discovery According to this determination the Earl of Salisbury in the Gallery at Whitehall on Friday being Allhallows day delivered the King the Letter without any speech or judgement made of it the Contents whereof were as followeth My Lord Out of the love I bear to some of your Friende I have a care of your preservation Therefore I would advise yoa as you tender your safety to devise some Excuse to shift off your Attendance at this Parliament for God and Man have decreed to punish the wickedness of this time And think not slightly of this Advertisement but retire your self into your County where you may expect the Event in safety for though there be no appearance of any stir yet I say they shall receive a terrible blow this Parliament and yet they shall not see who hurt them This Counsel is not to be contemned because it may do you good and can do you no harm for the danger is past as soon as you have burned this Letter And I hope God will give you grace to make good use of it to whose Holy Protection I commend you The King who was alwaies very fortunate in solving of Ridles ne sooner read the Letter but after a little pause and the reading it over again he delivered his judgement of it as of a matter not to be slighted for that the stile of it was not like a Pasquil when the Earl of Salisbury perceiving the King to apprehend it deeplier then he expected hinted to the King that by one clause thereof that the danger was past as soon as the Letter was burned it seemed to be written by a fool or mad man for what would the notice of the danger advantage or availe any man when the burning of the Letter was sufficient to avoid it But the King joyning and referring that clause to another that they should receive a terrible blow that Parliament did happily guess that the danger intended there was by some sudden blowing up of powder for no other Rebellion or Insurrection whatsoever could be attempted unseen in time of Parliament but by that invisible nor no mischief take effect but that speedy way of destruction to that sense he rightly turned and construed the danger is past as soon to that of as quickly and therefore advised that before his going to Parliament the under-rooms of the Parliament House might be well and narrowly searched It must be confessed that God put this interpretation into the Kings Heart for though now upon the event appearing no other construction can be made of the letter yet before the wisest did not apprehend that meaning so that next to God the Nation is beholding to the King their Head for this his temporal saving knowledge The Earl of Salisbury wond'ring at this strange yet rationall Commentary of the King which he knew to be farre contrary to his ordinary and natural disposition that was alwaies averse from or editing due advertisements of practises against his person and rightly conceiving this extraordinary caution of having the rooms searched proceeded from the Vigilant care he had of the State more then of himself thought fit to dissemble his concurrent apprehension of the danger putting it off with some jest or merry discourse and so took his leave of his Majesty but repaired instantly to the same Lords of the privy Counsel whom he acquainted with the Kings judgement and construction of the Letter and what had else passed in private who agreed that the said Earle should put his Majesty again in mind of the businesse the next day being Saturday when it was ordered the Lord Chamberlain being present that the said Lord Chamberlain should according to his Custome and Office as usually view both Parliament Houses above and below and see and consider what likelihood or possibility of danger might be layed there But because they would not have any rumour fly abroad and also for the fuller discovery of the plot if there were really such a thing it was resolved that he should not go thither while Munday in the Afternoon the day before the setting down of the Parliament at which time he went thither accompanied with the Lord Mounteagle who impatiently expected the event Being there and having reviewed all the lower rooms he found in the Vault under the upper House great store of provision of Billets Faggots and Coles and enquiring of Whinyard keeper of the Wardrobe to what use he had put those lower Rooms and Cellers he replyed that Mr. Thomas Percy had hired the House and part of the Vault under the same and that the said Wood and Coal was also his provision whereupon the Lord Chamberlain casting his eye aside espied Fawks the pretended servant of Percy in a corner but took no further notice of the man At the naming of Percy the Lord Mounteagle began to suspect the matter and that the Letter might probably be sent from him and intimated afterward so much to my Lord Chamberlain who among the other things he related to have seen and considered omitted not the suspition of Mounteagles as also the jealousie he had of such a great quantity of Coals Faggots and Billets for a persons use that had not been nor yet was resident in the house he pretended to take for his dwelling whereupon the King insisted that the House was to be narrowly searched to the bottome it being to be suspected that those Faggots were laid there onely for covering of the powder of which opinion were all the Councellours present but the manner of the search was not so well agreed on for as the Kings and Kingdomes safety required all Caution for preventing the danger so the reputation of the State and the imputation it would lay upon the Earle of Northumberland whose Kinsman and most Confident Familiar this Percy was if it should prove but a Fable after a curious and strict search made them loath to be too eager therein the rather because it was known how much the King detested to be thought jealous or suspicious of any of his good Subjects But the Kings resolute persistency for a through search prevayled for as he said it could prejudice no man at all that was innocent and either they must examine the bottome of the matter that no possibility of danger might remain or else not to meddle any further in it but plainly to go next day to the Parliament and leave the successe to Fortune which he believed they would hardly take upon their consciences It was therefore finally resolved to search all places and upon the pretence of Whinyards missing some of the Kings goods to view those rooms narrowly for them And to this purpose Sir Thomas Knevet a Gentleman of his Majesties privy Chamber and a Justice of the peace in Westminster was employed who according to the trust reposed in him
