A TRVE RELATION OF The great Plot discovered in Suffolk against the Kingdom of England Worthy Sir I Having such a fit opportunity to accompany my desires my pen could no longer cease from paper but thought meet to declare it self to all true-lovers of Englands prosperity For this ensuing subject is of so great concernment for the common preservation of the Kingdom of England that I shal most willingly expose my life and fame to all hazard and contempt for the welfare of my Country I have observed all the windings and turnings of the Malignant party in their obstructing of this places security ever since the beginning of these sad divided times Soveraign favours tend principally to the inlargement of their own interests what this place may prove in a forraign possession which is not onely an inlet to a future Conquest but shall at present contribute most of any particular place in the Kingdom to the subversion of the whole Nation it will be vast summes and multitude of lives that will regain it if once lost And indeed there was never more danger by reason of the many Plots and Conspiracies dayly contriving by the Malignant party for the bringing in of a Forraign enemy For within these sew dayes through the divine providence of God there hath beene discovered a great Conspiracy against the whole Kingdom in generall divers eminent persons being concerned in it which I wil briefly intimate unto you as followeth Some persons of note who had formerly been in actuall service against the Parliament in this Kingdome had confederated with the enemy beyond the Seas to have had an army transported from France Denmark to the Island of Loving-land and so to have invaded the Kingdom of England for the subversion of this Nation and violating the Lawes thereof who notwithstanding many difficulties and oppositions are so firmly maintained by this present Parliament But I hope all their Machavilian Plots and Hell bred Devices will be timely prevented through the great vigilancy of the wel-affected party in this Island For there is no wayes left unassayed for the preservation thereof but keepeth strong guards at all the inlets or weak places whereby an enemy may have the advantage to land any Forces and although their number be but small yet they are the better able to manage it by reason there is not above three places that an enemy can land at though it be a vast and spacious place consisting of sixteen Parishes abounding with all things requirable and scituated for a generall accommodation of trade having the Sea bordering upon a fourth part of it the other parts being begirt with the great Rivers of Yare and Waurney by which the Country Comodities are brought unto it and from thence transported unto all transmarine parts The whole Peninsula is as it were raised into one intire Hill defended towards the Sea with Cliffs and Sànds and on all parts by Land surrounded with a spacious levell of low grounds amidst which levell runs the afore named Rivers discharging themselves with a third into the Sea through the said Island by which they are all commanded So that it is in accessible by Land four passages excepted and one by Sea called Newton Gap which place not improperly for it is a gallant place of strength pleasure having formerly been tearmed Little or Low-England And it is very much desired that this place being of so great consequence to England may be put in such a posture that it may render it selfe defensible upon any attempt whatsoever We heare that the Earle of Montrosse is very active in Denmark for the raising of Forces and divers other Commanders with him Prince Rupert doth not lye idle in France Most of our skillfull Pylots are gone to Dunkirk but upon what designe wee know not Here are divers papists within the Island it having been a place of refuge ever since the beginning of the wars Thus having acquainted you with the chiefest of our affaires in these parts I humbly take my leave and remain Yours to serve you N.
