Francisco de Faria I Thomas Buss of the Parish of St. Margerets Westminister Cook and Servant to his Majesty in the Office of a Cook in his own Kitchin as third Cook called by the Name of Groom of the Kitchin and being Master-Cook to their Graces the Duke and Dutchess of Monmouch and in the Year of our Lord Christ 1678 when his Majesty was then in the Month of September at Windsor I the said Thomas Buss then waiting on their Graces as abovesaid was on the 13th or 14th of September being on a Fryday about seven of the Clock in the Morning to buy in such Provisions as was needful for his Graces Family his Grace being then returned from the Battle of Montz I by chance espyed Four of my Acquaintance talking together viz. three Portugals and one of them an English Man and I having not seen the English Man of three or four Years before then Saluted him by the Name of Father Hankinson not knowing his Christian Name in these Words of Father Hankinson May I say by or to you as God Almighty sayd to the Devil Whence came you or how shall I say to you for he and I being acquainted ever since her Majesties first Arrival into England at Portsmouth he the said Hankinson made me no other Answer but You will never leave your Old Drolling but I having him by the Hand all this while said Well then come prethee from whence came you indeed Why I came from Italy and then two of the three Portugals left him and one Portugal with me and did ask him he saying he came from Italy if he had brought over any Bulls or Pardons from his Holiness the Pope whereunto he did reply You will never leave your drolling and I did ask him when he arrived at the City of London and then the other Portugal named Segnior Anthonio Fernandez turned from our Company over to the Fishermen that sate in the Market which was not above a yard and a half distance from the place where we two then stood still talking their Majesties both being then at the Castle of Windsor I there ask't the said Father Hankison if he did arrive at Windsor on the said Wedensday Night or no and he told me No his Horse did tire and it was late so he stayed in Town all Night and came for Windsor on Thursday the 13th about four or five of the Clock in the Afternoon Then I did ask of him if he and I and three or four more of his old Acquaintance should not drink together before his Departure for he was then in a travelling Posture He told me by no means for he was in great hast for he was going about ten or twelve Miles to a Lords House naming the Lords Name to me but truly I did forget his Lords Name but he told me If he could dispatch betimes to get to Windsor by four or five of the Clock in the Afternoon then his other Acquaintances and I should Drink together and then the said Father Hankison called over to the aforesaid Segnior Antonio Fernandez the Portugal aloud and prayed him for Gods Sake to have a care of those four worthy Gentlemen the Strangers and then I hearing him tell me that he came from Italy thinking they might be four of the Gentlemen of Italy come over to see the Court of England ask't him what these Gentlemen were and he told me they were four Irish Gentlemen and called to the afore mentioned Segnior Antonio Fernandez saying aloud as he did before Segnior Antonio Segnior Antonio for Gods Sake have a great care of those four Gentlemen worthy Gentlemen the Irish Men for they will do our Business in the Grace of God and the said Segnior Antonio answered And Grace of God I will have a great Care of them in the Grace of God fear nothing And so he the said Father Hankison being about to be gone well said I to him if I shall see you no more pray when do you leave England Tomorrow And then said I whether then For Paris and then for Italy again And then I bid him remember me to his Holiness the Pope at which he did laugh and told me you will never leave your Drolling and so we parted and have not seen each other never since nor thinking nothing of it more till I reading Coleman's Papers wherein I heard the Names of four Irish Ruffians named should kill his Majesty and I being his said Sworn Servant and bound by my Oath as his Majesties Servant not to hear any Secret or publick Mischief nor Treason against his most Sacred Majesty but the same to reveal to some of his Majesties Officers the which I did by Name to Sir Steven Fox and he did order me to acquaint the Committee of Secrecy with it and likewise I did acquaint Mr. Vernon as Secretary and Steward to their Graces the Duke and Dutchess of Monmouth and my Superior Officer in their Family and he liked it very well and told me he would inform some of the Committee of Secrecy of it and so he did and I went before them at Serjeants Inn in Fleet-Street and they did like the Information very well for then they did want some to second Dr. Oats's Depositions and at the Tryal of Councellor Langhorn I was fetched by the under Sheriff from dressing their Graces Dinner to give Evidence against the said Prisoner at the Bar the which Evidence was after Oath taken highly approved on there and this aforenamed Segnior Antonio Fernandez sent for to the Court at the Old-Baily by the Under-Sheriff with to the Earl of Ossory to Speak to their Majesties that the said Segnior Antonio Fernandez might be brought before the Court at the Old-Bayly and he being brought before the Court the Court ordered Sir George Jefferys to take his Defence for himself he making so weak a one he then being the Recorder of London sent the said Antonio by and with the Keepers to Newgate for the Matter of High Treason against his Majesty where he lay till the end of the next Term and then was Bailed out and I was bound by Sir George Jefferys to prosecute and did Appear on Summons from Windfor at Sir George Wakemans Tryal and never was once so much as called nor a great many more near seventeen or eighteen and when the Court of Justice did rise I asked Dr. Oats whether he or the Court had any other Business with me and he told me no so I returned to Windsor the same Night and never heard more of it till this Sessions of Parliament Thomas Buss Sworn by Order of the Lords Committees for Examinations c. the 10th of December 1680 before me Edmund Warcupp Esqu And now Reader give me leave to admire the Providence of God that I Francisco de Faria should be brought from almost the utmost Parts of the far distant habitable World to be an Instrument here in England to detect or at least more convincingly to prove the truth of those Horrid Treasons and Conspiracies that have been for so long time as wickedly denyed as impiously perpetrated but I am answered when I consider that the Judgements of God are Unsearchable and that there is no Craft or Subtilty of Man can hide or conceale those Impieties and foul Conspiracies which God will bring to Light Francisco de Faria FINIS
