directly to Rochester to Esquire Lees House who lives near the Town and from thence to Dover by some By-way because he is acquainted at Sittingburn and said that if they could but get him on the other Side of the Water they would torment him till he had confessed to them who it was that had been with the KING and Informed Him of the business When the Deponent heard these Words he went down the

either destroy the Jesuits or the Jesuits destroy the Deponent And told him Moreover That the Bishop of Rochester was made acquainted with the Complaint and would lead them such a dance as they never

ubique never long in one place LXIII Item That on Wednesday twenty first of August a Consult was held by the Jesuits then in London with certain Benedictine Monkes about three of the Clock in the afternoon concerning a Pacquet that came from Talbot Archbishop of Dublin to the fathers of the Society In which they were given to understand that Four Irish Jesuits had undertaken the death of the Duke of Ormond and that upon his death the Irish were ready to rise In this Letter he told them that a Legate was arrived in Ireland and had asserted the Popes right in that Kingdom and that the Kings of England being no longer Catholiques they did cease from being concerned there it being given to them during the good pleasure of his Holiness and therefore did incourage the said Arch-Bishop to contrive and use all means for the recovery of the said Kingdom out of the hands of the English And in the said Letter it was mentioned That if opportunity did not permit the said Jesuits to do their business that then they should send one Doctor Fogarthy now lodging at Mrs. Simmonds the Widow of one Simmonds an Apothecary in Drury-Lane and that he and the Fathers in Ireland together with the said Fogarthy would find out an expedient way for the death of the said Duke And furthermore he did specify that they had procured several Irish to be made Commission-Officers in the Garrisons in Ireland and that he and the rest had dispenced with them to take the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy And that the Irish who had gotten Commissions by means of the Arch-Bishop had promised to betray their interest into their hands when the business should be ripe and desired the Fathers to be as diligent in England as he and the rest of the Clergy were in Ireland which Letter John Keines did shew the Deponent and was read by the Deponent And Kenies and Blundel gave him an account of the Consult and the said Fogarthy did himself tell the Deponent the same and on the said Twenty first of August did say That he had a great interest in the Court of Ireland LXIV Item That the said Fogarthy is a main Agent in this Hellish-Plot and hath promised That if this Bishop Talbot will make use of him he will do all the service he can which the Deponent is ready to justify to the face of the said Fogarthy who did tell the Deponent that he and Coleman were in the Consult when Wakeman was contracted withal in order to Poyson the KING and said That if he had the interest in the KING as Wakeman had he would have undertaken it himself And all this was told the Deponent on the Twenty first of August in die Chamber of the said Fogarthy And furthermore the said Fogarthy then and there did tell the Deponent That he had hired Four Irish Russians whose Names he did neither tell the Consulters that met on the Twenty first of August nor the Deponent and these Irish Russians were to mind the KING's Postures at Windsor But the Deponent telling the said Fogarthy that he heard the KING was going to Portsmouth he was wonderfully troubled at it and said It did very much impede their Design and nothing would be Attempted so long as he was absent from Windsor LXV Item That the Lord Embassador Sr. William Godolphin at the Court of Spain holdeth great Correspondence with Hierom Swiman the Irish-Jesuit who as beforementioned was Procurator for the Jesuits of the Kingdom of England and Ireland and with the Irish Arch-Bishop of Tuam now at Madrid and is a friend in this business as the said Swiman did inform the Society in one of July the thirtyeth New-style and likewise in one to the Deponent wherein he did specify that Sir William was as industrious as any Man could be to answer the expectation of the Society and that he had but one Protestant-servant then in his House viz. the Cook and the Parson when there made up a goodly Couple And the Deponent knows that Godolphin is a Papist and hath perverted a Kinsman of his own and the Deponent knoweth that the said Embassador is very familier to the said persons the Irish Jesuit at Madrid and the Irish-Arch-Bishop of Tuam And the Deponent doth verily believe that Mr. Hodges sometimes Chaplain to the said Lord Embassador can if required Testify as much and the Deponent doth furthey say That when he was at Madrid the said Chaplain of the Embassador left the employ because of the Embassador's being a Papist and the Deponent hath seen the said Embassador at Mass and he hath a Jesuit that comes to his House who hath Read both Philosophy and Divinity to the said Embassador of which the Deponent was personally informed by the said Hierome Swiman an Irish Jesuit and by the said Irish Arch-Bishop when at Madrid but the Letters of which the Deponent speaks he saw and Read them at Mrs. Saunders House in Wild street the Twenty second of August LXVI Item That on the 22th of August Money was sent from the Society by a Servant of theirs to supply the Expences of the four Irish Russians above-mentioned who were gotten to Windsor on the 21th at night and the sum so sent was Eighty pound which the Deponent saw told And they were written to and informed that if more were wanting they should have it And they were bidden not to be frequent in one anothers Company and always to profess but small Acquaintance one with another Which Order and Money was dispatcht away by Harcourt Rector of London in the name of the Provincial and whole Society LXVII Item That the Deponent went to the Chamber of the said John Fenwick who told him that he was to go to St. Omers with some Students thither about ten or eleven as near as the Deponent can remember and the said Fenwick was to attend the Provincial and was to return as he said within tenor twelve days together with Mico and the rest And whilst the Deponent was with the said Fenwick a Messenger came in viz. John Grove with order from Harcourt Rector of London John Keines Richard Blundell Mr. Jennison Mr. Wright Basill Langworth and four other Jesuits that lay at Somerset house to pray the Provincial that he would write to Leshee the French King 's Confessarius and give him to understand how well the business in Ireland stood and that in his Letters to Leshee he should pray him to certifie the French King thereof The Deponent asked Grove where those Fathers were met Who said they met again at Mrs. Sanders house And the Deponent after he had read the Order or Memorial as indeed the Title was and saw their Names about two in the Afternoon went to the house of Mrs. Sanders where the Deponent saw those Fathers who told him of the said Order and after a short stay took his leave of them and by them was ordered to meet them at four
