Your Grace's most dutiful and obliged Servant William Boswell The Arch-Bishop's Indorsment Received Octob. 14. 1640. Sir William Boswell in prosecution of the great business If any thing come to him in Cyphers to send it to him The large particular Discovery of the PLOT and Treason against the King Kingdom and Protestant Religion and to raise the Scotish Wars written in Latin Most Illusirious and Revcrend Lord WE have willingly and cordially perceived that our offers have been acceptable both to his Royal Majesty and likewise to your Grace This is the only Index to us That the blessing of God is present with you whereby a spur is given that we should so much the more chearfully and freely utter and detest those things whereby the hazard of both your lives the subversion of the Realm and State both of England and Scotland the tumbling down of his Excellent Majesty from his Throne is intended Now lest the discourse should be enlarged with superfluous circumstances we will only premise some things which are meerly necessary to the business You may first of all know that this good man by whom the ensuing things are detected was born and bred in the Popish Religion who spent many years in Ecclesiastical dignities At length being found fit for the expedition of the present Design by the counsel and mandate of the Lord Cardinal Barbarini he was adjoyned to the assistance of Master Cuneus Con by whom he was found so diligent and sedulous in his Office that hope of great promotion was given to him Yet he led by the instinct of the good Spirit hath howsoever it be contemned sweet promises and having known the vanities of the Pontifician Religion of which he had sometime been a most severe defender having likewise noted the malice of those who fight under the Popish banner felt his Conscience to be burdened which burden that he might ease himself of he converted his mind to the Orthodox Religion Soon after that he might exonerate his Conscience he thought fit that a desperate Treason machinated against so many souls was to be revealed and that he should receive ease if he vented such things in the bosom of a friend which done he was seriously admonished by the said friend that he should shew an example of his conversion and charity and free so many innocent souls from imminent danger To whose monitions he willingly consented and delivered the following things to be put in writing out of which the Articles not long since tendered to your Grace may be clearly explicated and demonstrated 1. First of all that the hinge of the business may be rightly discerned it is to be known that all those factions with which Christendom is at this day shaken do arise from the Jesuitical Off-spring of Cham of which four Orders abound throughout the World Of the first Order are Ecclesiasticks whose Office it is to take care of things promoting Religion Of the second Order are Politicians whose Office it is by any means to shake trouble and reform the state of Kingdoms and Republicks Of the third Order are Seculars whose property it is to obtrude themselves into Offices with Kings and Princes to insinuate and immix themselves in Court businesses bargains and sales and to be busied in civil affairs Of the fourth Order are Intelligencers or Spies men of inseriour condition who submit themselves to the services of great men Princes Barons Noble-men Citizens to deceive or corrupt the minds of their masters 2. A Society of so many Orders the Kingdom of England nourisheth for scarce all Spain France and Italy can yield so great a multitude of Jesuits as London alone where are found more than 50 Scotish Jesuits There the said society hath elected to it self a Seat of iniquity and hath conspired against the King and the most faithful to the King especially the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and likewise against both Kingdoms 3. For it is more certain than certainty it self that the forenamed society hath determined to effect an universal reformation of the Kingdom of England and Scotland Therefore the determination of the end necessarily infers a determination of means to the end 4. Therefore to promote the undertaken Villany the said society dubbed it self with the Title of The Congregation of propagating the Faith which acknowlegeth the Pope of Rome the Head of the College and Cardinal Barbarini his substitute and Executor 5. The chief Patron of the society at London is the Popes Legat who takes care of the business into whose bosom these dregs of Traytors weekly deposite all their Intelligences Now the residence of this Legation was obtained at London in the name of the Roman Pontiff by whose mediation it might be lawful for Cardinal Barbarini to work
