The Publishers PREFACE IT is not unknown to all considering and judicious Persons in this Kingdom that upon the happy Discovery of the late horrid Popish Plot against his Majesties Person and Government and the Establisht Protestant Religion and upon the Apprehension Arraignment Trial and Condemnation of several of the Conspirators many Artifices have been used by Persons of the same Persuasion to defame the Witnesses produced for the King and to invalidate their Testimonies in order whereunto several Witnesses have been procured first at the Trial of Ireland and after at the Trial of White alias Whitebread c. many of them Scholars belonging to the English Seminary at St. Omers instructed no doubt and sent over to act viis modis for the preservation of their Conducters and Leaders to testifie that Dr. Titus Oates one of the principal Witnesses for his Majesty was at St. Omers at the same time when he upon his Oath affirms himself to have been in London other Witnesses have been also produced to prove that Mr. Ireland lately Executed was in Staffordshire at those days and times when Dr. Oates Mr. Bedloe and one Sarah Pain attest upon their Oaths that they saw him in London as by the Printed Trials of Ireland and Whitebread c. does appear such a failure in Circumstance of time and place is of so great consequence in this case that if made out it would render the said Persons unworthy the names of just and lawful Witnesses and for that reason their Adversaries put so much stress upon it that not contented with the determination of the matter at the Trial and Condemnation of Ireland they again resume it at the Trial of Whitebread c. and by their St. Omers Youths endeavour to fasten falsehood on Dr. Oates and by consequence to impeach the credit of his Testimony and the justice of their Condemnation As to the first particular concerning Dr. Oates his Testimony is justly secured and he himself indubitably proved to have been in London at the times by him mentioned and deposed by the concurrent evidence of divers creditable Persons given in upon Oath at the Trial of Whitebread so that the Stratagem which his Antagonists did use to destroy or at least depretiate his Testimony hath by a gracious emergency of Divine Providence turned to a strong confirmation thereof and for ever set him as to this point Rectus in curia a good and lawful Witness in reference to all the Evidence already given and which hereafter may be given by him in any future Trials Their design failing herein their next attempt was to entrap him and the rest in relation to Mr. Ireland whom the Witnesses they produce affirm to have been in Staffordshire and other places out of London all the Month of August from the fifth of August to the fourteenth of September whereas Dr. Oates Mr. Bedloe and Sarah Pain depose that they saw him in London within that time To clear the Truth of this Particular and to justifie the Evidence of Dr. Oates and the rest the Testimony of Mr. Jenison is a pregnant demonstration which I thought truly to deserve my utmost dilligence to bring to light and in order thereunto communicated the same to the Right Honourable the Earl of Shaftsbury and by his appointment to Justice Warcup before whom Mr. Jenisons Depositions and the Attestations of the worthy Gentlemen hereafter mentioned were taken and in whose hands if not transmitted by him to the Clerk of his Majesties Council the Originals of the ensuing Papers are to be seen and whose joint endeavours for the Discovery of the Truth in this as well as other particulars relating to the Plot deserve an honourable mention The occasion of what is here publisht arising from several passages in the Trials of Ireland and Whitebread c. those passages are here extracted and presented to the Readers view that having the case before him he may apply this evidence thereto whereby his judgment will be clear The Reader will find this short discourse divided into three parts The First relates the means and manner of obtaining the Letter and Depositions of that worthy Person Mr. Jenison The Second exhibits the Letter and Depositions The Third some observations thereupon for the full satisfaction of all unbiass'd minds in the matter Controverted THE NARRATIVE UPon the 15th of June in this present year 1679. Charles Chettwind of Westminster Esq had occasionally some discourse with a Gentleman till then unknown to him to wit Mr. Griffith of Grayes-Inn Barrister at Law concerning the five Traitors that had been condemned the Saturday before and their attempt to prove Mr. William Ireland alias Ironmonger lately executed for High-Treason to have been in Staffordshire and on his Journey thither from the 5th of August 1678 till the 7th of September following and not to have been within that time in London which as Mr. Oates and others had upon his Tryal affirmed him to be there about the 12th of that Month and to be returned thither again about the beginning of September whereupon the said Mr. Griffith told Mr. Chetwind that Sir Michael Warton of Beverly in the County of York Knight a Worthy Member of the Honourable House of Commons in the last Parliament told him that since the execution of Ireland Mr. Jenison a Gentleman of very good Quality and a Student in Grays-Inn who was a Romanist till about January last affirmed that Mr. Ireland was in London about the middle of August and that he was with
