to take off the King and the Duke at once I told him that would do very well but how will you do it Says he we will do it with Cross-bows we are to be half a dozen and we will go into the Steeple where there is a Window just opposite to the Balcony and a great deal of Discourse we had to this purpose My intent was to divert him from this Design and told him how impossible it was they should escape the Foot-Guards and Horse-Guards and multitude of People And if he did not do the Business effectually he would be undone and all the Party I rested satisfied he would have desisted upon this But I knew the Principles of these Fifth Monarchy Men and their Associates and thought it not safe to trust to his bare say so that he would desist but I went to the King and the Duke of York into my Lord Chamberlains Chamber where they came to me and I gave them this Account and desired them to set some to watch the place and to search if any were got into the Steeple before they came and there was one Horsal appointed that did accordingly watch them but none came Upon which some Good-willers to it have have reported that it was a Sham business but I think that was not well done But the thing was real and when he was examined before the King in the Secretaries Office he did confess all these things that I charged him with Mr. Att. Gen. Sir Nicholas Butler had you any Discourse of killing the King at this time Sir Nicholas Butler No at last they did understand I kept a Correspondence at Court and then they would tell me no more Mr. Att. Gen. Since he was taken what did he say about this matter Sir Nicholas Butler About this matter he did acquaint divers he was one that was to kill the King and the Duke Captain Richardson sworn Captain Richardson Sir Nicholas Butler asked him in my presence I went along with Sir Nicholas when he examined him as to this thing how he was concerned He said Mr. Goodenough came to him and told him he wanted Labourers he asked him for what at last he did confess that Mr. Goodenough did tell him it was to kill the King and the Duke of York he did confess that he did agree to it and that he would be one of them He did likewise say That after at another Meeting he was for killing the King and saving the Duke but Goodenough was for both Sir Nicholas Butler He said he was to have Twenty Pound Capt. Richardson He said he did not desire to stir and Goodenough told him he should have 20 l. to buy him Horse and Armor And told us the Business of Rye the Place he did not know but said it was the place where the King was to be murdered This is the substance of the Examination taken Sir Geo. Jeff. Though the Prisoner at the Bar did partly make a Confession yet for the Satisfaction of the World my Lord give us leave to call our Witnesses Capt. Richardson That which Sir Nicholas says about the Cross bows he did own but L. C. J. What say you to this Treasonable Design of yours in undertaking to kill the King in hiring your self out to be one of the Persons that should have executed this Traiterous Design this horrid Murder to have killed the King at the Rye Hone. I say I did not know the place where nor when at the time it was proposed about the Rye L. Ch. J. But what do you say as to the undertaking to kill the King the other 〈◊〉 but a Circumstance this is the material Point Hone. My Lord I was drawn into it by Mr. Richard Goodenough L. Ch. J. You hear what Sir Nicholas Butler says of the Cross bows you designed to kill the King with what say you to that Hone. I say there was a person told me of such a thing and I told Sir Nicholas immediately of it The person that told me was a Shop-keeper and I don't know him Sir Nicholas Butler You named three Persons to the King that were Confederates with you but you came to me of your self L. C. J. Look you your self was one of the wicked Undertakers in that Traiterous Design Hone. No I did never design it but I was told it L. C. J. Ay that your self and some other good Fellows were ingaged in the Design Hone. I was not ingaged only as I was told by a Fellow that there was a Shop-keeper lived hard by that would do such a thing and I immediately told Sir Nicholas Butler L. C. J. Come 't is in vain for you to mince the matter for here is a full Evidence against you The best you can do for your Advantage now is to consider well with your self and repent of this wicked Design What Religion do you profess Hone. Religion my Lord L. C. J. Ay any or none Hone. My Lord I hear several sorts of Men sometimes Baptists sometimes Independents and sometimes the Presbyterians L. C. J. But regard none Look you Gentlemen of the Jury you hear a plain case of a barbarous Murder designed upon the King one of the horridest Treasons that hath been heard of in the World to have shot the King and the Duke of York in their Coaches as they were coming upon the Road. You have had full Evidence of this Mans being one of them and therefore I am of opinion that you must find him Guilty So the Jury brought the Prisoner in Guilty without going out of Court And on Saturday July 14. Mr. Recorder gave Judgment against him as follows That you be carried back again to the place from whence you came and from thence be drawn upon an Hurdle to the place of Execution where you shall be hanged up by the neck but cut down alive your Entrals and Privy Members cut from your Body and burnt in your sight your Head to be severed from your Body and your Body divided into four Parts and disposed at the Kings pleasure And the Lord have Mercy upon your Soul FINIS
