to thy self my Sword is drawn as well as thine which Words sounded so shrill in Mr. Boyers mans Iohn Marshal aforesaid ears that he did ride in between them to part the Fray which he did by disarming his Master and by giving Mr. Woodhouse good Words who Woodhouse did afterwards entertain them both at his House that Night but all the Words that passed between them before Mr. Boyers man would not acknowledge upon his examination that he heard any of them and would have denyed that the fray too but that his Master let fall the Scabbard of his Sword in the place and Mr. Woodhouse in kindness did send one or more of his Servants with himself with a Lanthorn and Candle to find the same for at the present the Barrel ended all the Quarrel they drunk the other bout and the Drunken Fit being over it was no more thought upon for a while but afterwards the aforesaid Boyer did desire one Edward Price a Saddler by Trade to make for him some Holsters for Pistols but how many I know not the said Edward Price having neer the same time more Papist Customers for such tackle was jealous of them and thereupon he informed a Justice of the Peace therewith upon which information several Justices met in order to examine the said Price And it happened so that the said Woodhouse being in a Market Town called Presteyn and at the House where the Justices met upon the aforesaid business and in the Company of Iohn Adams and Richard Hill of the same he asked them what was the meaning of the Justices meeting there which was but lately before who told him that Price the Saddler had informed that one Mr. Thomas Boyer a Papist had bespoke of him ten pair of Holsters for Pistols to which the said Woodhouse replyed surely then he is going to raise the Troop of Horse for the Duke of York which he told me he would raise and therewith declared the aforesaid Discourse between Mr. Boyer and himself to them who informed a Justice of the Peace or Lord Bishop of Hereford therewith whereupon the said Woodhouse was forced to Witness the same and then afterwards as it is before declared in the Whitsun week 1676. I went in with my Information and then after that the Justices had many times met together upon the same Concern the said Boyer was committed to Prison there to remain until the next great Assize and We the Witnesses Edward Price Robert Woodhouse Gent. and Richard Greene were bound over to the same to justify our Evidence in his Majesties behalf against Mr. Boyer before the Judge of the Assize to which accordingly we all very diligently gave our Attendance But Judge Wilde who rode that Circuit called the said Boyer and did not trouble himself as was expected in a business of that weight to examine either the Prisoner or the Witnesses but told him that he had read the Depositions against him and that therein he did find that he had spoke very dangerous Words and did very sharply chide him and told him it did not become such a one as him to talk of the overturning of Kingdoms and of the carrying on of the changing of Governments c. and that he might by the Law take a severer Course with him but because he was a young man he would only bind him to his good Behaviour and therefore bid him produce his surety quickly and he the said Boyer as before knowing the issue thereof produced two Papists for his Suretyes standing by him ready for the same purpose Which binding of him was but a letting of him loose as it did afterwards appear to spit his Popish Venom at poor Richard Greene which he and his accomplices did to the purpose for they Prosecuted me with four malitious Law Suits and Threatned me with many more and at last wrongfully Imprisoned me and both before I went to Prison and in the Prison he demanded nothing of me but Submission and Recantation and to declare those Truths which I before upon Oath had Witnessed against him were False and to Acknowledg that I had done him Wrong thereby and that by doing so I may expect his love and favour as formerly and in not doing so I should never come out of Prison which though I never did yet I am out of Prison Thanks be to God but when I came out I was so much impoverished so much Threatned so much Slandered and so much forsaken of Friends for many sought to merit the favour of my Adversaries by doing me Injuries by which I was forced to sell my Goods and Cattle and my Wife my fellow Sufferer with me in all this took our flight together from our Native Country These are the poor mans own Words Written down in his own hand who in another proceeds thus in his Relation Anno Domini 1676. ABout Whitsuntide one Thomas Woodhouse of Standbeach in Herefordshire Hatter bringing Richard Greene a Hat said My Brother Robort Woodhouse was in a great deal of trouble about Mr. Boyer aforesaid and very sorry he had occasioned him to be questioned for Words spoken to him Greene questioned Thomas Woodhouse about what time the Words were spoken by Mr. Boyer to Mr. Robert Woodhouse the said Hatters Brother and he found by him that it was the same time that he the said Greene had the same conference with Captain Thomas Boyer viz. Ianuary 75 6. which confirmed him more in his fear of a Massacre Thomas Woodhouse related this Discourse with Greene to his Brother Robert who sent for him to speak with him and R. W. related that Boyer had told him there would be many Bloody Noses that Summer but a hair of his Head should not be touched and that the said Boyer would raise a Troop of Horse for the Duke of York and enquired what Boyer had spoken to him Greene replyed he would be excused Then Woodhouse said he would have him Summoned to Hereford where he was himself to appear the next day to this he replyed he scorned to be forced to Witness for his King and Country if he would lend him a Horse he would go with him and accordingly he did and testifyed his knowledge in the Particulars aforesaid before the Justices of the Peace then and there assembled as hath been related above And then it was viz. about Whitsuntide 1676. that the said Robert Woodhouse Richard Greene and several others were examined before Sir Iames Bridges now Lord Shandoes and other Justices of the Peace of the County of Hereford as aforesaid upon whose examinations the said Captain Tho. Boyer was committed to Prison c. It is to be observed That against the said Assizes following when the said Richard Greene attended to give Evidence against Captain Thomas Boyer he had reserved many considerable particulars of his evidence against the time of the Tryal to which he expected that Captain Boyer would have been the● brought in the face of the whole County So
