We our selves are nothing but polluted rags and fountains of uncleanness from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot all the faculties of the soul and members of the body are all members of unrighteousness Were it not therefore that thou hast been pleased to give us good hopes and found out a way to hold communion with us which is through the Lord Jesus in whom thou art well pleased in whom thou hast spoke forgiveness of sins to our souls we durst not now stand before thee but thou hast promised that though our sins are as scarlet thou wilt make them as white as snow and though they be as crimson thou wilt make them as wool Thou hast opened a fountain of free-grace and eternal mercy for poor sinners that through the blood of the Lord Jesus they may receive remission forgiveness cleansing and purging from all their sins Thou hast laid an all-sufficient help upon him who is able to save to the uttermost all that come to God by him We have nothing of our selves to bring unto God but sins to pardon and unclean souls to purge Thou hast been pleased to give thy Son and together with him freely to give us all things Thou hast given thy poor servant before thee faith that has brought salvation to his soul Thou hast saved him by thy free-grace not of works but through the mercies and blood of Jesus Christ and hast sprinkled the vertue of the blood of Christ in his conscience in the belief of the truth as it is in Jesus O blessed be thy Name that sent him to seek and to save us from condemnation who is risen with healing in his wings and hast set Christ before us that we should behold him that our sins have pierced Certainly great was that disease that needed such a medicine that nothing could expiate and take away our sins and blot out the hand-writing that was against us but the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as of a Lamb without spot he is now become our peace who has made peace for us through the blood of that his Cross and has made twain one in himself Jew and Gentile He was delivered up for our offences and rose again for our justification We in the knowledge of him being justified by faith

Parties and tender of every little fry of Locusts were elected by general consent to mannage and contrive the Design of reducing us to a Free-State and to Surprise the King in White-Hall my Lord Chancellor my Lord Duke of Albemarle and Major General Sir Richard Brown And that they had protested secrecy by lifting up their hands to Almighty God and they were resolved to expedite the work And to that end several Messengers being Church-Members were directed into the Country and all persons of that Interest were resolved to acquiess in what they should Act and prepare as those Six should direct To insist much on particulars Riggs with the rest were somewhat shy that afternoon but we appointed to meet on the morrow at the same place of the Exchange Tuesday I met Riggs Bradley Baker Iames Hill and to our godly society came one Capt. Brown a Sea Captain dwelling in Wapping and Iames Hinde a Gunner to a Ship It was long because so much company was there before our good Discourse of the Work of God begun yet at last Riggs could no longer detain it from his new Brother but taking me aside assured me that this Work was long intended that Intelligence came in agreeable to expectation from the Counties that he the said Riggs was intendded once to be one of those six but he had engaged himself in business in a Brew-house in town that he could not defer but he was very instrumental in encouraging honest men to the Work and in satisfying the Fifth-monarchy men who would have undertaken the Work themselves and then 't was his work with several others to put a stop to it until all parties were agreed and though the Presbyter would not be active yet he doubted not but many of them were consenting to the Work But if I would meet him the said Riggs on the Wednesday night late I should have better information for the six persons in Council sate so obscure not twice in a place all disguized and were resolved to act it so secret that no person Friend or Foe except two persons should know where or when they met or whom they were But Lieutenant Strange would come to town that Wednesday and he the said Riggs should meet him and give me full information For the meeting I gave him my faithful promise and this time I had understanding of somewhat formidable then I began to consider with my self the consequence of this Design and how desperate the Rogues were in their Attempts that here was a full Combination and I believed the zeal of these Rogues was such that they had no Design of Trepanning me I consulted my self how I should proceed wisely and timely enough for their Discovery I presently meditated that this was to be acted in the City and that the King's Majesty had intrusted Major General Brown with the care of the City and that he was of an active spirit and quick in counsel I immediately attended him and had suitable Instructions from him where by the next day being Thursday I was as full of matter for them as they were of villainy to their Prince and Countrey But Wednesday night I attended Riggs for the News that Strange should impart and then I was informed by him that some Moneths since there was a Southampton man that had offered his service to the Churches in London with a new Model of Government for their Saintships when they had rooted out the Amorites from amongst them and also a Plot for them to act whereby they should ease themselves from the Government of that Antichristian thing called Monarchy But his counsel was rejected as the Committee of Safety rejected Sir Vane's whereupon he sold his Estate and took ship for Holland but now Mr. Rogers the Minister was sent to reinvite him and several Army-officers resident there for their assistance here in this blessed Work exceeding earnest I was to know those six persons in Council Riggs could not fully resolve but he was sure though he had heard others nominated yet Philip Nye Lockier the Minister and Anthony Palmer the Minister with Colonel Danvers and Lieutenant Strange were very active in it he did believe he had pitched upon some of them and that they had sate lately at the Wheat-sheaf in Thames-street concerning the business Thursday being October the 23 d. their Brother failed not to meeâ— them at the Ship in Leadenhall-street Then in short from Riggs and Hinde I was confidently assured Windsor Castle was their own five hundred men were fixed in and about Windsor the Serjeants and head Gunner were Right Boys and Captain Tonge had been with the Serjeants there and brought a Letter to be communicated to the Council from the Serjeants of their fidelity That all the Churches in London were concerned in it that now their Money did fly and the Churches were able to raise twelve thousand if not twenty thousand to pay their grand Adversaries in Whitehal at Somerset-house and Worcester-house and to be sure never a Lawn Sleeve or Circingle-man should have a hole to hide their heads in this Nation Four hundred Assistants Riggs affirmed in Dorsetshire they were ascertained of and that several Cases of Pistols were sent down by a Carrier into that Countrey Riggs acquainted us then that in a Ware-house in Crutchet-friers Arms were lodged and there five hundred had been dispersed to those that were not able to buy them that they intended to make a desperate Assault in Whitehall and one party should attempt it by coming in at the Gate into St. Iames's Park to assault my Lord Duke of Albemarle whom they must presently dispatch because when the King was destroyed he had power as Lord General to raise Forces by his Commission in any part of the Nation Also when I put the question concerning the King what we should do with him Riggs answered That then they were resolved to give no quarter to any body Likewise and it shall please Your Majesty that Ludlow was to be General and the same Law he should have had the same the best or highest of their enemies should have Many Friends in Kent looked for the blessed hour and when I asked who should command them there Riggs answered Col. Kenrick for he was suâ—e the Council had sent him Instructions yesterday by a Messenger that he had sent to them for the same Also that there lodged a Lieutenant at the Wheat-sheaf in Thames-street that had five hundred men at command for this work he being formerly a Sea Commander and was safe in that Lodging because it was Lamberts mans house who was their trusty and welbeloved friend The same night Baker formerly mentioned brought into my compâ—ny one Hayward a pitiful yong Porter that plieth about Bowlane end in Cheapside that was formerly of Okeys Regiment and that affiâ—med to me three or four and twenty of their Cheapside Porters would knock it soundly when the day of rising was Likewise Riggs asserted that one Ward a

THese few Prisoners at the Bar were not all in this Contrivance though we have not all their names but in the Evidence you will hear there was a Council of 40. and then of 6. but none discovered These 6. acted and infused into these and divers others what they intended and then broke up and gave out all was ready and would be done on such a day We shall not trouble the Jury with giving evidence particularly against these men they are joyned and knit together in one Cause But hear the Evidence William Hill Edward Riggs and one Bradley were Sworne Council Mr. Hill Speak your knowledge in this business to my Lords and the Jury Mr. Hill May it please your Lordships about the middle of October last I met Iohn Baker one that is now indicted he was a Captain formerly called I met him in Cheapside he meeting me after a Salutation invites me to drink with him I went into a house with him When I was with him he began to aske me what News there was in the Countrey I told him I had little to informe him He told me if I would stay a while he would tell me some I asked him of what nature saies he Not long agoe the King went a Hunting sent some Stags to Sir Iohn Robinson now the Lord Major and went but with a small Guard and I could have been one of the twenty that would have slain that Outlandish Dog then said I Mr. Baker that 's nothing to me but what other news have you saies he I know thou art right and I know your Father there is something on foot in the City and if you wilt meet to morrow I will bring some persons to you that will give you information Sir said I understanding it of dangerous consequence and willing to get it out I will meet you and we agreed to meet the next morning that morning 3 Persons came early to my quarters Hill the Cloth-drawer Mr. Bradley and this Mr Riggs he appointed them to meet him there but failing himself they being strangers said nothing to me then and so I departed and left them a drinking the morrow after he himself came to my Lodgings fetches me out of my Bed and tells me he had appointed some persons on the Exchange to give me an account I went with him thither and there we met with some persons that were his acquaintance and from thence we went to the Ship in Leadenhall-street and among us was Hind that confessed himself Guilty and there the business was fully discoursed of what their intention was that all interests were agreed Fifth Monarchy-men Anabaptists Independents and Fighting Quakers and the Congregational Churches were consenting and were resolved to indeavour their deliverance from adversaries at Whitehall Many passages more On the morrow after we met again and there met with us Hind and Brown and Baker there we were acquainted of their Magazine and Armes provided and about their correspondence in the several Gounties that they were sure of Windsoor Castle thâ—t the head-Gunner and Sergeant there were privy we had information concerning this Tonge as an active person in this designe I studied to know this Tonge and I was brought to him at his house and there I met one Ward Stubbs and Hind and some others and there we had discourse concerning the business Tonge told us something of the business of Windsor Castle and proposed something in reference to the taking of the Tower what Armes and men they had for this designe We met many times at the Ship that Gibbs we met at Bridewell-Dock and there was Stubbs and one Bearley with me there we waited for a Brother of this Gibbs's to give us intelligence when the day of the Insurrection would be we waited not long but in came his Brother and two persons more one Thomas a Bridler or Bit-maker in Shoo-lane and another person in a handsome Garbe came along with him his Brother was somewhat shy because I was a stranger to speak any thing but calls for this Gibbs and Stubbs and had some private discourse with them and away departed after they were gone we desired to know the Intelligence they told us that the Council of 6. was broken up all business was setled Ludlow was commander in chief and Alhallows Eve was the time that Horse and Armes were provided For Phillips that day that the meetings were intercepted that the Trained bands did surprize them that day this Gentleman and I pointing to Riggs came to the Main Guard at the Exchange where Sergeant Phillips was with a Buff Coat and a Halbert and this Gentleman meaning Riggs saluted him and thanked him for his service in sending down notice to the Meeting to be gone for he was coming with the Trained bands to surprize them he asked him what was the occasion of the Bustle saies he they say Sir Robert Foster Who is that he Hill That Phillips said they say they were up in the West and if they were not I would they were and here too for a few would do the work upon the Munday after we met him near the Exchange and so likewise Riggs thanked him for his service and then he Phillips promised his further service when the time of the Insurrection would be For Sallers I was by agreement to have 30 Armes delivered me and I was very pressing to have the Armes out of the Magazine Sallers met with this Gentleman Riggs and he urging Sallers about the Armes Sallers told him that they were all delivered out the night before about 5 or 600 and that 40 of their friends went away without Armes but that within 2 or 3 dayes there would be more laid in Sir Heneage Finch Mr. Hill I will ask you one question with my Lords favour as you have given a general Account I will keep you to one particular person Tonge Did Tonge in any discourse with you tell you of one Strange that was gone into the Countrey Hill One night he told us he had spoke with Strange that he was gone into the Countrey and would come back the morrow and then we should have more intelligence Sir Heneage Finch What concerning the Tower and Windsor Castle Hill He talked of the good service that he had done in being at Windsor Castle with the Serjeant and Gunner for the securing of that Castle That near five hundred of their Friends were in and about Windsor ready to assist for surprising that Castle Court Who told you this Hil. Tonge told me himself That he was instrumental in it Finch Did he tell you any thing of the Tower Hil. Onely he said it was fit some care should be taken to surprise the Tower at the time Finch Any thing of Alhallows-Eve Hil. He did not fix the very instant time but said he looked for intelligence from Strange Sir Ieoffery Palmer What day of the moneth was that Hil. I cannot remember the very day Serjeant Maynard What did he say

night as I was passing along I met Riggs at Stubbs door he asked me what news at London I said I was told there would be a Rising and that Arms were delivered Is there says he said I I do not believe it but I shall know certainly to morrow I did call the next morning and asked Is the story true No says he I was there and there was no Arms that was all that I know of the business Friend did I tell you any such thing Council Tell him and upon what occasion Hill Upon occasion of Riggs asking him for thirty Arms for me this upon the Exchange Sallers took him a little aside and told him They were all delivered out that forty went away lacking that more would be there within two or three days Sallers That which I said to Riggs was the Message I received from Wapshot but that I inquired and there was no Arms there so that it was but a fallacy For I advised him not to meddle with any such thing Mr. Hill never saw my face till I was apprehended upon the Exchange and brought before Sir Richard Brown Hill I saw him upon the Exchange with this man Riggs Council Did he say that any Arms were delivered before and what number Hill About five or six hundred Sallers He never heard me speak a word Council How long before he was apprehended Hill Never but that time with Riggs upon the Exchange about nine days before his apprehension and he confessed upon his examination That he did see me with Riggs Court Have you or any other the prisoners any questions more Sallers I have more Whether he will positively affirm that he spake with me upon the Exchange Hill No Sir you answered the question to Riggs Council You heard the answer Hill Yes Sir Sallers May be at the second hand Council Did you hear the prisoner answer it or had you it at the second hand Hill I heard it from Sallers himself answering Riggs Sallers Did you hear me Hill Yes to Mr. Riggs Sir Hen. Finch He swears it and you wonder at it and so we do all Sallers Who was there then Hill It was upon the Exchange when almost full Sallers What day of the moneth Hill I cannot remember the day Sallers I do declare before this Honorable Bench Gentlemen of the Jury and this great Auditory That I never saw this mans face till I was apprehended That which I told Mr. Riggs was what I heard Wapshot say I never till then saw this mans face nor exchanged one word with him whereas he sayes he heard me I do not believe Mr. Riggs saw him near me when I gave him the answer Hill Seeing he doth invalidate my Testimony Mr. Adjutant Carent took him upon the Exchange I shewed him the person and therefore certainly I must see him before Sallers It was not he but the other in the white cloaths that came and took me that knew me Court Will any of the rest ask him any question Sallers Here is that that I am accused of That I delivered Arms which is altogether false my Lord Major can bear witness Wapshot confessed he told me such a thing I did ever abhor any such thing I was always serviceable to His Majesty upon all occasions and all times my neighbors can witness my civil conversation Court Have you any thing more to ask him Sallers I would fain know whether the Bench and Jury are satisfied with this Evidence Court That you will hear anon What else will you ask him Stubbs What he accuses me you have all heard I do in the presence of God and this Honorable Bench and the Jury deny it for it is very false and believe none will verifie the same upon Oath Court Have you any questions Gibbs We all stand in the presence of God and I am very conscientious of what I say and do I must give account of all things before the Lord. This Gentleman Mr. Hill has asserted concerning me That I should deliver divers Cases of Pistols or knowing the delivery of them if Mr. Hill who stands likewise in the presence of God can produce any man to prove That I delivered to any man any Pistols or that any were so delivered by my order or that I conveyed or sent them away into the Countrey Do this in the sight of the Lord and his own conscience I expect not mercy But I would have him speak no more of me but what he knows of me or by me whether he knows I ever received any Pistols or delivered any at any time for such an end as he is pleased to speak Which my Soul abhors and God can witness Stubbs This Mr. Hill was the man that mentioned this and that he had four Horses and Armâ— himself and had Two hundred pound in order to it I was never any plotter nor contrived any thing but am as innocent as the childe unborn but being by an accident at Tonges house a Strong-water-man ask the other witnesses whether he speaks truth Sir O. Bridgman I would put you in a right way you shall be all heard at large when you make your defence But will you ask him any questions Gibbs I propounded one I desire an answer Whether I received or delivered any Pistols to such a use Hill I did not say he did but at that meeting at Black-Fryers it was discoursed among them That several Arms were sent to Dorsetshire to several friends there and he was there then I believe he cannot deny it Stubbs There was Arms spoken of but that man Mr. Hill spoke of them and upon this consideration That there were Arms delivered to every Hall Ammunition and Powder Riggs knows he spoke it at that time Hill Sir that was spoken after the question was put What was the occasion of sending the Powder and Ammunition to the Halls These Arms were spoken of in reference to the design I do acknowledge I told them I had some Arms my self and said I had Two hundred pound for carrying it on and I know the grounds of my speaking and so do some of this Honorable Bench. Stubbs Hill advised that they fall upon Sir Richard Brown as an enemy to all honest-men Gibbs This Hill says that I should say these things There was more there and had ears as well as he let them speak Hill There was Riggs Stubbs my self and I know not the other names Gibbs This Hill and Mr. Riggs whose face I never saw came to my neighbors-house where I was alone found me plotting with no man Hill We were brought into his company by one Beazley he had been at Tower-hill about two or three a clock to give some intelligence to some persons there about the design Riggs and I took a Coach and went after him and Stubbs told us we might meet him at a Bakers house near the Tower We found Beazley and he said he could not signifie any thing to us but would carry us to Black-Fryers

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. And blessed be thy Name O merciful God that has made such a Covenant of everlasting grace to poor sinners and the children that do believe in thee through Jesus Christ.
