Parl. D. Com. Sir John Hothams Letter to a worthy Member of the House of Commons concerning the late discovery at Hull SIR SInce my last to you It hath pleased Almighty God out of his great mercy to us here and the Kingdom to preserve us from an eminent danger and ruin plotted against us here which I thought fit to acquaint you with I writ a word of it to the Committee at York but since have made a more ample discovery I have within my Company a Lieutenant his name is Foolks sonne in law to one Master Thomas Beckwith a Recusant at Beverley a good Souldier but poore This man his father in law thought a fit Instrument to work upon and to that end sent for him to come over to him The Gentleman presently acquaints me with it and asked my leave and advice therein Protesting that both in regard of the honour of a Souldier and a Gentleman nothing should passe but I should know He had formerly been obliged to me and therefore I gave him leave to go with directions to yeeld to such Propositions as should be made him for otherwise being in their power I knew not how they might have used him At his return he told me that at his first coming after an unusuall kind welcome that Master Beckwith broke the matter to him That if he would do service c. he should be rewarded in a great measure intimating to him how unable I was to prefer him in any way of subsistance To be short He made a plain contract with him That if he could betray a Port he should have five hundred pound in hand and two hundred and fifty pound per annum for his life this he willingly accepted then Beckwith discoursed with him of the means how he could do this he told him That upon Thursday night the 26. day of this May he had the guard at the Northgate and if Alarum were given at another Gate called Hassell Gate he could then let them in This thus over-night concluded upon next morning he was brought into the presence of one Trist he was a Papist and commanded Mr. Percies Troop of Horse at the defeat at Newbourn and one Captain Courtney and six others some of which his father in-law told him were Lords disguised these promised him to make good his reward but they doubted unlesse some Captain might likewise be aiding it might misse of performance and therefore propounded to him to draw his Captain into the businesse Lowanger a Dutch man a man truly of that faith courage and abilitie that were I to manage an enterprise of the greatest moment that might be I would not wish a better second they propounded to him that he should have in reward 1000 pounds 500 pounds for his life and be made a Knight You see Sir what ever the performance would have been they were not spare in promises Trist told him he had a man of his whom under colour of carrying Arms as a Voluntiere he might employ as he saw cause Beckwith if appears before had an eye to have corrupted Lowanger for he had invited Lowanger to his house and sent him word he would bestow a Gelding upon him which he presently then acquainted me with and told me he thought there was some ill meant in it and so would not go He hath exceedingly laboured in the discovery of this being in a great measure sensible of his honour herein Upon Tuesday we caused the Lieutenant to write back to his father in-law that Lowanger liked well of the businesse but desired some better assurance of his reward then Trist and Courtneys words and sent a boy with the Letter and that it might appear to Mr. Beckwith to be carried with more secrecy the boy was caused to put the Letter in his Shoe the return was this Letter enclosed the originall being well known to be his hand I keep to be sent when the Parliament shall command lest it might miscarry as some other Letters of his whereby his hand may be known I have Trists man in hold who confesseth he was sent hither by Trist under colour to carry Arms to give Intelligence and I find he had endeavoured to send to York diver● of my souldiers This morning I received a Letter from Mr. Major of Beverley the Copie of which I send you of divers assembled at Mr. Beckwiths house We had another as I think to surprise the Block-house being the strong Fort of the Town but now that is I have not yet made a full discovery I have sent to the Major of Beverley to search Mr. Beckwiths house being a Recusant and to tender them the oath of Allegiance and Supremacy and to know their names If there had been open War I could soon have told what to have done in this businesse And truly If I should have let the Plot gone on and given them what they deserved I think being they came that way to have taken the Town I might have justified it before God and man But being loath to be the first letter of blood I resolved of another course which was To advertise 〈◊〉 Majesty of the Plot discovered lest some should advise Him upon a designe m●… prove dishonourable and dangerous to Him This dispatch I sent away last night I shall trouble you no farther but rest Hull 1642. Your affectionate faithfull friend John Hotham The true Copy of Master Beckwiths Letter a Recusant SOn the Iron is hot I guesse at the sense of your Letter that all is right as was intended for more security in the morning I expect strong here My Son went yesternight to York comes with great ones this night Lor I send what I have from you this night thither if it may breed suspition Let your friend beleeve well and not come to morrow If I could send safe I would But the trust holds on our part as I shall be advised by your Fathers Master to morrow I must work yet this Boy is a fine way to come and return Your Letters are so wasted in his shoe as I guesse at the sense Yet send it broken with my exposition for I dare not bogle with promises no doubt is to be made of any thing promised J write more confidently because J know your hand J name none but your self he cannot come to morrow J fear without suspition But J refer all to your selves wishing to see him J mean in the morning it will be better satisfaction to him to all here T.
