reparation of a building there sir T. P. stayd at Liege sir Rob. Bret. at S. Omers Moreouer he declares that the Congregation met only on two days the 24. 26 of April that was nether at the white horse Tauern nor any other place in the strand that it neuer diuided into clubs or Companys nether was there euer any proposition made of Diuiding in that nature To the contents of the 38. Art he says in a like manner vpon Oath that during the seuen yeares of his Rectorship at Watten no Missioner designed for Holland came to that house that it appeares by the day-book of the house that on the 31. of Iuly 1678. not one stranger lodged at Watten that at that time Mr. White was at Liege on the borders of Germany as can be proued by Letters dated thence which are to be seen at Watten yet Oates sweares Mr. White was then at S. Omers which two places Liege S. Omers are 50. leagues or 150. miles asunder The Deponent doth declare in general that the English Iesuits neuer treated or deliberated about any matters of state or any conspiracys had he perceiued any such thing he would neuer haue entred amongst them That Titus Oates could neuer be employed by them in any businesse he being vnknown to them till the year 1677. that then he was receiued as a meer Neophit without any Language but his Mother-Tongue a little Latin wherefore they sent him to Valladolid That althô he gaue so little satisfaction there that he was turned away after about four months stay yet by his importunity promises of amendment he got admittance into the Seminary at S. Omers where he was put to study amongst the Rhetoricians That within a fortnyght after his setling there he was found to be of a bad hypocondriacal humour rash indiscreet turbulent vindicatiue a great flatterer boaster Lyer Jn so much as some reflecting on his little Deuotion bold inquisitiue humour suspected him to be sent as a spy by some enemy to Religion His greatest freinds thought him to be but half a Catholick all suspected in him a secret auersion to Monarchicall Gouernment to the Royal family of England for which he being reprehended by the Deponent he excused it by allea●ging his breeding amongst the Puritans All which this Depenent knows to be certainly tru as hauing been of the Consult when M. Whitebread proposed his admission into the Society in which it was resolued to dismisse him as being nether a good Christian to God nor a good subject to his King That the Deponent writ to Mr. Ireland to acquaint Mr. Keynes Mr. Fenwick others to haue care of dealing with him because of his murmurations calumnyes threates of spyght desire of Reuenge By which any one may guesse how probable it is he should be so intimate with all those Iesuits after his return to London The same day appeared before vs R. F. William Sanky alias Dichseild named in the 17. Article of the Narratiue as joying with the Rector Sir I. W. to send a Letter to the Confessor of the Emperour Who deposed vpon oath that he neuer saw nor heard of any such Letter nor euer held any Correspondence with the sayd Confessor or any other Person or Persons of the Imperial Court In witnesse of this we haue ordred this deed to be signed by our Greffier sealed with the seale of our Lordship Preuosté This 27. of October 1679.

WHereas Titus Oates in his Narratiue through many §§ most falsly injuriously slanders me Richard Strange of many treasonable horrid Proceedings in vindication of my Innocency from them all J do by these in the sight of God vpon the word of a Preist Religious man by all that is sacred testify assert that nether in the generality of them nor in any one Particular there is not one tru word much lesse Deposition I take it vpon my Saluation that I neuer treated with the sayd Titus Oates in all my life about any Matters of such a Nature And to descend to Particulars whereas he says § 1. that I. Ric. Strange writ a Letter to F. Swiman or Sweeteman in Spain about the embroyling of Scotland sending some thither for that end I call God to witnesse there is not one word tru As nether in the 4 § where he deposes that the Prouincial of New-Castile writ to F. I. K. me that if the King could be dispatcht we should haue 10000. l. for our paines As also what is contained in the former § 7. of which as to the one or the other or any part of them not one word of Truth Item what he deposes § 11. of a Letter sent by me the sayd R. Str. others of the Society at London to those at S. Omers about stirring vp the Presbiteriam in Scotland all the other Riff Raff of that § is as false as any thing the Deuil euer spoke Item what he deposes in the 9. § of a Letter writ by me others of an intent to stab the King at Whitehall to the FF at S. Omers or by a Physitian to Poyson him what he writes § 13. of another Letter sent to S. Omers for F. Leshee about aduancing designing the Death of the K his R. H.
