the Right Honourable the Earl of Shaftsbury did often come to visit him and bring him Guinneys in order to the prevailing with him for to joyn Evidence with Bedlow but Strodes answer was as he informed me that he would not perjure himself for ten thousand worlds May the 16. Iones Strodes Bedfellow did inform me that he had this day seen in Strodes hands some papers which did contain the whole matter of the Popish plott in a more plain manner than either Oats or Bedlow could make out And that the Earl of Shaftsburies servant whose Name was Mr. Iohnson came often to Strode to court him to give his Testimony against the Lords in the Tower and had offered Strode most considerable sums of money if he would do the same May the 17. Iones did tell me Strode had in some discourse informed him that Bedlow in the time of his padding was entertained at Strodes house and particularly when there had been a Robbery committed but a day before and at the same time a Hue and Cry all over the Country to apprehend him And that it is not long since that Strode sent to his wife at Shepton Mallet in the County of Somerset for the Copyes of some Writings which were in her custody which said writings are the original of those he shewed Iones May the 18. Iones sayes Strode has often prayed his advice what to do in a matter of such weighty Consequence as was to be made out from the aforesaid papers Iones answered him that in regard he was in Reversion of a good Estate and had divers good and honorable Relations to support him it would perhaps be much more both for his Credit and advantage to be silent in things of such a nature than to stir unless he could make every particular thereof visible by a Lively Testimony Upon which Advice Strode did promise to let it fall rather than run the hazard of disobliging his Relations and Friends and become altogether obnoxious But for your more full satisfaction in these matters I do not only think it proper to referre you to my former Narrative so far as it concerns these particulars but also to the Examination of Mr. Strode and others Which I hope will not only give a full satisfaction to the good Protestant Reader but a full Conviction of the Romish Reader In order to which I will shew you the Essential parts of the matters herein contained as they were severally delivered upon Oath that it may not be said to be the Device of my self to insinuate a good Opinion in the people without just Cause Somerset The Information of William Strode of Shepton Mallet in the County aforesaid Clothier taken upon Oath the 19th day of November Anno Regni Caroli secundi nunc Angliae c. xxxi Annoque Dom. 1679. before John Speake Esq one of his Majesties Iustices of the Peace for the County aforesaid THis Informant saith that about the middle of February last past Philip Marsh came to the Kings Bench Prison in Southwark to see me viz. this Deponent and one Welsh a Prisoner there after the said Marsh his going from the Prison Welsh informs the Prisoner That Philip Marsh was a Servant to Mr. William Bedlow and that he knew that they had been long acquainted Immediately after Lionel Anderson alias Munson asked me viz. this Informant how long I had known Philip Marsh I replyed that my first acquaintance with him was in Winchester Prison a little before I was removed to the Kings Bench also Anderson alias Munson asked me if I knew Philip Marsh to be a Servant or Companion of Mr. Bedlow's I answered that I knew no such thing Then Anderson replyed I must needs know the said Marsh to be acquainted with the said Mr. Bedlow as well as Welsh and at that time Anderson enquired when Philip Marsh came to see me again I told him I knew not Upon the 26th day of February last past the said Anderson offered me viz. this Examinant 500 l.
