Lord Arundel asked him if he would kill the King for a good Reward to which he replyed He would kill any body but the King or his Royal Brother That then the aforesaid Lord asked him the same Question again and he answered No. Then said the Lord Powis No no my Lord Arundel does onely this to try you But my Lord continued he what would you give him to kill the King 'T is worth said the Lord Arundel 2000 l. That then the Lord Powis told him he should have 500 l. to kill the Lord Shaftsbury That Mr. Gadbury told him the Lords in the Tower were angry with him as also chiefly the Lord Castlemain for that he would not kill the King when he might easily do it and no hurt befall him That here Captain Bedford was then called in and said That he was at several Clubs with Dangerfield That he was at Thompsons the Printers where was printing The Presbyterian unmask'd That Dangerfield paid Money to Dormer in S. John's That Dangerfield would have got a List of the Club at the Kings-head but the Drawer would not give it him That at the Green Dragon he got the Names of about 60 Persons that used to meet there Th●● he went with him to the Sun and Ship Taverns where he enquired if the Duke of Monmouth had 〈◊〉 been there the Night before he went away That Dangerfield said Gadbury brought him acquainted with ●●●bert Peyton That Dangerfield told him the Lord Shaftsbury Sir William Walier Doctor Tongue and others ●ad private Meetings near Fox-ball about the Plot. The Earl of Peterborough being called in and having an account of what was laid to his Charge made a very plausible Speech in answer thereto and as to the business of Sir Robert Peyton he said That Mrs. Cellier told him that among others which the had brought over to be serviceable to His Majesty and the Duke Sir Robert Peyton was one who had declared to her that he would gladly come in but that he thought the Duke of that temper that he would never forget an Injury That then he assured Mrs. Cellier the Duke was no such person and then the replyed that Sir Robert would willingly meet him at Mr. Gadbury's That they did meet accordingly at Mr. Gadbury's where Sir Robert did say that he would s●rve the King to all purposes but seemed to doubt of the Dukes being reconciled to him That afterwards he waited on the Duke at his Lordships Lodgings and from him received all the assurance of favour he coul●●enre These are the principal things that were acted before the King and Council the Result whereof was that the Earl of Castlemain first and after the Lady Powis was committed to the Tower Mr. Gadbury to the Gate-house Mr. Rigaut and Mrs. Cellier to Newgate and several others to the Custody of Messengers About this time Sir William Waller searching a House near the Arch in Lincolns-Inn Fields leading to Duby-street seized on several Habits Vestments Crucifixes Reliques and other Popish ●●●●kets all very rich as also divers Trunksand Boxes full of Books and Papers that did belong to Father 〈◊〉 lately executed wherein are set down several great sums of Money paid by him in about 70●8 years last part for carrying on the Catholique Cause as likewise many other things that confirm the truth of the Kings evidence Among the Relicks was found one great Piece of Antiquity and by computation of time near 800 years old It was a Cross of Gold weighing about 4 Ounces upon which on the one side was engraven these words Defendite Gentes ●anc partem Crucis Omnipotentis in English Defend O ye Nations this part of the Omnipotent Cross On the other side were engraven the Arms of Alfred King of England who dyed in the year 901. Besides which engraving it was empail'd with divers precious Stones of a considerable value Within the Cross was another Cross of Ebony to which the Gold one seem'd to serve onely for a Case and as if it had been a little Nest of Serpentine Idolatry the Ebony Cross was inlaid with another Cross of a quite differ●●● Wood which it is suppos'd they believ'd to be a piece of our Saviour's Cross There was also a Gold Ring with a Motto wrap'd up in white Paper upon which was written The Ring of the Bishop of Glascow with several other Curiosities which are as yet preserv'd On Novem. 5. Mr. Courtees was taken and brought before Justice Warcup who having taken his Examination sent him to the Gate-house At his Examination he gave an account of his first acquaintance with Mr. Willoughby not knowing then that he went by any other Name and that Willoughby told him that the Presbyterian were conspiring against the King and Government and were privately raising an Army and that Mr. Blood was one that gave out Commissions for that purpose and perswaded him to use his endeavour to get one and if he could do so he would bring him to the King whereby he should get 5000 l. And that upon this he made his application to Mrs. Bradley in order thereto believing what Dangerfield said and that there was really Presbyterian Plot on foot so that what he did he said was upon a Loyal Design But there is some cause to s●●pect what he said if we reflect on what Mrs. Bradley deposed on Nov. 1. and what he acknowledged now viz. That the last time Mrs. Bradley saw him asking him when they should get the 5000 l. He replied that 〈◊〉 would not meddle in it that it troubled his Conscience and that it would be Treackery if it were done and it 〈◊〉 to no purpose to meddle in it now for there is a List sound out However it be he is since bailed out of the Gate-house And for a confirmation of his Guilt is gone aside And now almost every day new Discoveries are made either of Priests or their Appurtenances Reliques and seditious Papers Dormer a Priest was seized by Dr. Oates at the Door of the Council-Chamber on Nov. 4. 〈◊〉 he was busie in discourse with the Lady Powis and was sent to Newgate On Nov. 11. Sir William Waller seized at Turner's in Holborn several seditious and scandalous Libels Popish Books and Pamphlets as also divers Beads and Priests Habits and some Reliques one of which was a very fine Handkerchief which had been dip'd in the Blood of the five Jesuits lately executed Not long after Sir William seized on one William Russel alias Napper a Franciscan Fryar and Titular Bishop 〈◊〉 Norwich With him were taken the Garments belonging to his Office as also the Form of an Oath of Abjuration for his Proselytes to this effect That they did from thenceforth renounce those damnable and heretical Doctrines wherein they had been educated and instructed and that they did oblige themselves under the penalty of Damnation to remain stedfast in the Faith of the Mother-Church of Rome c. Together with a Latin Prayer in the Margin where of was written in English Who ever says this Prayer shall be free from the Plague And several Popish Books c. On Friday Nov. 21. Sir Robert Peyton Mr. Nevil Mr. Gadbury Mrs. Cellier with her Maids and others were severally Examin'd when it was sworn that Sir Robert Peyton had had frequent Conferences with Mr. Dangerfield and the further hearing of the Matter being put off till Wednesday Nov. 26. Sir Robert was then ordered to give Bail for his Appearance at the Kings-Bench-Bar the first day of the next Term to answer to such Informations as should then be brought against him by the Attorney-General Dr. Oates during these Transactions had two of his Servants Lane often mentioned in this History and Osborn confederated with one Knox belonging to the Lord Treasurers Family against him who Indicted him for no less a Crime than Sodomy But it being proved a malicious slander and his Accusers perjured Villains who were hired by the Lords in the Tower to invalidate his Evidence the Jury brought it in Ignoramus And Dr. Oates thereupon bringing in an Indictment against them in the Kings-Bench Knox and Lane Osborn being fled were stied on Tuesday Nov. 25. When the whole Design was so particularly laid open especially by Mr. Dangerfield whose Pardon was persected the day before that every one present was convinc'd of the intended Villany and the ●ury without the Lord Chief Justice's summing up the Evidence declared them guilty of the Indictment But their Sentence is deferred till next Term. We shall here close our History with our Prayers to God 〈◊〉 bring to Light all the Dark Contrivances of Jesuits and wicked men and to their Plots and our Divisions and D●●●●●● put FINIS

Lordships Person He waited on his Lordship by the Name of Day and went armed with a Dagger which he received from Mrs. Cellier to whom three or four were brought by Mr. Rigaut To perform this Murther he was promised 500 l. by the Lords Powis and Arundel the Lord Arundel giving him then 10 Guineys and encouraged by the Lady Abergaveny Lady Powis Mrs. Cellier and others and his Confessor Sharp conjur'd him to stab him with all possible speed After his first disappointment they advised him to tell the Earl that he was in danger of being Impeached for High Treason and that from Letters under his own hand and that when he should find himself in the Tower he would have cause to repent that he had refused to hear what he had to tell him These Instructions he followed and told his Lordship that his Servants had Copied out his Letters from whence would be drawn Matter to form an Impeachment But the Earl would not be Wheadled by this to give him a private Audience and thereby administer to him an opportunity of taking away his Life but askt him which of his Servants they were that had Copied out his Letters To which Dangerfield replyed That he knew not Then the Earl answered That he knew that all he said was false for that if his Letters were made known to all the World there would not be found Matter sufficient to endanger the least Hair of his Head much less to form an Impeachment Whereupon Dangerfield told him That if that was his Lordships Opinion he would take his leave and so departed leaving his Lordship a little jealous of his Intentions The Lady Powis would have perswaded him upon a Third Attempt which he refusing she struck him gently on the Hand with her Fan calling him Cow-hearted Fellow telling him she would do it her self but Mrs. Cellier told her that should not be for She would perform it In order to which the very next day she went armed with a Dagger to wait upon his Lordship who received her very civilly but being made more wary than formerly by Dangerfields last carriage he strictly observ'd her and perceiving her fumbling about her Pocket betwixt Jest and Earnest he clapt his hands upon hers and there held them pleasantly drolling with her till she was ready to depart but she was not gone so far as the Door before she offer'd to return which his Lordship observing stept to her again and clapping his hands upon hers quite dasht her out of Countenance so that she departed without attempting further Thus was his Lordship thrice by Divine Providence miraculously preserved from the bloody hands of Papists The Plot being now ripe for Execution and Treasonable Letters ready written to be conveyed into the Custody of such Persons they intended to Accuse and two or more Witnesses prepared to swear the Delivery and Receit of such Letters or Commissions against every man in their black List Dangerfield under the Name of Thomas takes a Lodging in Ax-Yard in Westminster pretending himself a Country-Gentleman where lay one Colonel Mansel whose Chamber he soon made himself acquainted with and therein conveyed about Nine or Ten of the aforesaid Treasonable Letters superscribed to several honest Gentlemen and Persons of Quality some of which were Favourers of the Dissenting Protestants When he had so done he informed some of the Officers belonging to the Custom House That in that House there was concealed great Quantities of French Lace and other prohibited Goods desiring them the next Morning to bring a Warrant with them and search the House which they promised At Night he brought one Captain Bedford to lie with him as is supposed that he might be a Witness against the Colonel Next Morning after the Colonel was gone forth came the Officers to search for prohibited Goods Dangerfield was very officious in assisting them to search the Colonel● Chamber and at length from behind the Bed brings forth the before-mentioned Pacquet of Letters upon which casting his Eyes and seeming surprized he cryed out Treason These are all Treasonable Letters Whereupon the Officers carried them away to the Commissioners But the Colonel coming in soon after and being acquainted with all that had past in his absence found means to retrieve them again and when he had so done he made some Enquiry after Dangerfield of whose Quality being well informed he carried the Letters to His Majesty with Protestations of his own Innocency and Dangerfield's Villany Whereupon on the 23. of October the Council ordered Dangerfield to be taken into Custody by a Messenger and after a full hearing of the Business before them Oobct 27. they Committed him to Newgate When Colonel Mansel had thus detected Dangerfield the above-mentioued Captain Bedford came in very generously of himself and confessed several things he was privy to amongst which one was That this ' Dangerfield would have perswaded him to swear that Sir Thomas Player spoke Treason thereby to have taken away the Life of that honest Gentleman The Letters before mentioned gave Light enough to perceive what the Design was the Papists were then contriving Whereupon Sir William Waller who has been all along very zealous in discovering the Priests and their wicked Plots notwithstanding their Threats and Attempts to take away his Life understanding that Dangerfield used to lodge at Mrs. Celliers went thither on Wednesday Octob. 29. to search her House and that he might leave no place unsearcht he ordered a Tub of Meal to be emptied which being done at the Bottom thereof was found a little Paper-bod● tyed with red Ribbons wherein was a List of several Persons of Quality and others to the number of above 500. whom they designed to ruin by this their New Plot. They had set down his Grace the Duke of Monmouth for General of the Army to be raised the Lord Grey Lord Brandon and his Son and Sir Thomas Armstrong for Lieutenant-Generals Sir William Waller and Mr. Blood for Major-Generals c. the Duke of Buckingham Lord Shaftsbury Lord Essex Lord Roberts Lord Wharton and Lord Hallifax were to have been accused for the chief Counsellors and Managers of this Plot. Many others things were contained in these Papers relating to the Management of their Design Upon this Mrs. Cellier was committed to the Gatehouse Their Plot being now sufficiently laid open Dangerfield notwithstanding Mrs. Cellier● Encouragement to be constant and firm to the Catholick Cause thought it time to confess the Truth and being brought before the Right Honourable Sir Robert Clayton Lord Mayor of London on Friday Octob. 31.1679 he made a large Confession which held them from Five of the Clock in the Afternoon untill Two next Morning Part whereof was That he was sent for to the Tower whither he went in disguise where after some discourse with the Lord Powis the Lord Arundel asked him If he were willing to do any thing to advance his Fortune to which he answered he would do any thing Then the
