The First describes the Burning of LONDON which hath been proved undeniably by Dr. Oates Mr. Bedloe and others to be contrived and carried on by the Papists A blessed Religion that must be introduced by the Ruine of so many thousand Families But Devastation alone would not content without Blood For in the next place II. We describe The Manner of their murthering Sir Edmondbury Godfrey who took Dr. Oates's Depositions of the Plot which was no more than every Gentleman in the Commission of the Peace was bound to do yet for this necessary discharge of his Duty the Conspirators were so enraged that they resolved to cut him off the rather as may reasonably be supposed to deter all other Magistrates from intermedling with any Affairs relating to the Plot. The Persons actually present at this Murther were Girald and Kelly two Priests Green Bury and Hill who were since executed for it The whole discovered by Mr. Miles Praunce who was to have acted in it III. We come to deseribe The General Days of Humiliation appointed by His Majesties Proclamations on the Thirteenth of November 1678. and on the Eleventh of April 1679. to implore the Mercies of Almighty God in the Protection of His Majesties Sacred Person and that he would infatuate and defeat the Counsels of the Papists our Enemies IV.

In the Sixth The Manner of Mrs. Cellier's one of the Pope's Amazons going to do that Great Work her self Mr. Dangerfield having sail'd in the Attempt and of her turning down Stairs Although frequently attempted yet it hath pleased God hitherto for the good of this Na●●●n by his gracious Providence to preserve this Honourable Person and it is the Prayers of all good Protesta●●● That he may never fall into the hands of his Popish Adversaries whose tender Mercies are Cruelty VII To shew the Papists would leave no Stone unt●●●'d to blow off this Hellish Plot their next Stratagem was to forge a Plot upon the Presbyterians by Name but in Truth to involve the most zealous and active Protestant Nobility Gentry c. throughout the Nation which being fortified with bold Perjuries and specious Pretences might gain Credit and thereby they being destroy'd as a Sacrifice to Justice it might seem probable That the last Years Plot was onely their malicious Contrivance against the Catholicks who would then appear the King 's best Subjects The Model of this designed Plot against the Presbyterians was found by Sir William Waller in the House of Mrs. Cellier hid in a MEAL-TVB in a Paper Book tied with Red Ribbons It purported to be onely Remarks or Chief Heads of Things and Persons to be charged as amongst the rest there were named the Lords Hallifax Shaftsbury Radnor Essex Wharton the Duke of Buckingham and others to be of Counsel in this pretended Conspiracy the Duke of Monmouth General the Lord Grey Lord Gerard and his Son and Sir Thomas Armstrong Lieutenant-Generals in this Rebellious Army Sir William Waller and others Major-Generals Colonel Mansel Quarter-master-General By this whole Contrivance it most evidently appears that their aim was to ruine all that were true Protestants or honest Asserters of the Liberties and Property of the Subject for indeed there cannot be assigned above two or three in all their long forged List that can with any Colour of Reason or usual acceptation of the Word be called Presbyterians VIII Next we come to describe the manner of Mrs. Celliers sitting in State on the Pillory near the Maypole in the Strand with her famous Wooden Shield to defend her from the Fury of the People She was most justly sentenced to this ignominious Punishment for publishing an abominable lying Pamphlet entituled Malice Defeated A Book stuffed with so many Lies and notorious Equivocations and with so much Malice and Envy to all Protestants in general that the like was never publickly sold IX We describe the manner of Assaulting Justice Arnold by Three notorious Russians one of whom viz. Giles hath been since Tryed and found Guilty and accordingly deservedly punished for it X. We next describe The manner of their tearing their Treasonable Papers for fear of a Discovery XI In the next place we describe their Holy Fathers receiving comfortable Letters from England with Tears of Joy of the likely Success of their Plot. XII Lastly We describe The manner of the Execution of William Viscount Stafford on Tower hill who was impeached by the House of Commons in 1678. of High-Treason in Conspiring the Death of the King and was accordingly brought to Tryal before the House of Lords in Parliament on Tuesday the last day of November and by them found Guilty and sentenced to Death on Tuesday following viz. the Seventh of December 1680. and accordingly executed on Tower hill the of December LONDON Printed for Richard Baldwin in Ball-Court near the Black Bull in the Old Bailey MDCLXXX
