till to morrow And if one man be in the Town I will not fail to shew you the thing it self and if he be not he will be within these five or six days at which time if it please you to meet me at Chanon-row we may there receive the Sacrament to be true each to other and then I will discover unto you both the party and the thing itself Whereupon I prayed Parry to think better upon it as a matter of great charge both of Soul and Body I would to God said Parry you were as perfectly perswaded in it as I am for then undoubtedly you should do God great service Not long after eight or ten days as I remember Parry coming to visit me at my lodging in Herns rents in Holborn as he often used we walked forth into the fields where he renewed again his determination to kill her Majesty whom he said he thought most unworthy to live and that he wondred I was so scrupulous therein She hath sought said he your ruine and overthrow why should you not then seek to revenge it I confess quoth I that my case is hard but yet am I not so desperate as to revenge it upon my self which must needs be the event of so unhonest and unpossible an enterprise Unpossible said Parry I wonder at you for in truth there is not any thing more easie you are no Courtier and therefore know not her customs of walking with small train and often in the Garden very privately at which time my self may easily have access unto her and you also when you are known in Court Upon the fact we must have a Barge ready to carry us with speed down the River where we will have a ship ready to transport us if it be needfull but upon my head we shall never be followed so far I asked him How will you escape forth of the Garden for you shall not be permitted to carry any men with you and the Gates will then be locked neither can you carry a Dagge without suspition As for a Dagge said Parry I care not my Dagger is enough And as for my escaping those that shall be with her will be so busie about her as I shall finde opportunity enough to escape if you be there ready with the Barge to receive me But if this seem dangerous in respect of your reason before shewed let it then rest till her coming to St. James and let us furnish our selves in the mean time with men and horse fit for the purpose we may each of us keep eight or ten men without suspition And for my part said he I shall finde good fellows that will follow me without suspecting mine intent It is much said he that so many resolute men may do upon the suddain being well appointed with each his Case of Dagges if they were an hundred waiting upon her they were not able to save her you coming of the one side and I on the other and discharging our Dagges upon her it were unhappy if we should both miss her But if our Dagges fail I shall bestir me well with a sword ere she escape me Whereunto I said Good Doctor give over this odious enterprise and trouble me no more with the hearing of that which in heart I loath so much I would to God the enterprise were honest that I might make known unto thee whether I want solution And not long after her Majesty came to St. James's after which one morning the day certain I remember not Parry revived again his former discourse of killing her Majesty with great earnestness and importunity perswading me to joyn therein saying he thought me the onely man of England like to perform it in respect of my valure as he termed it Whereupon I made semblance as if I had been more willing to hear him than before hoping by that means to cause him to deliver his minde to some other that might be witness thereof with me wherein nevertheless I failed After all this on Saturday last being the sixth of February between the hours of five and six in the afternoon Parry came to my Chamber and desired to talk with me apart whereupon we drew our selves to a window And where I had told Parry before that a learned man whom I met by chance in the fields unto whom I proponed the question touching her Majesty had answered me that it was an enterprise most villanous and damnable willing me to discharge my self of it Parry then desired to know that learned mans name and what was become of him saying after a scornful manner No doubt he was a very wise man and you wiser in believing him and said further I hope you told him not that I had any thing from Rome Yes in truth said I. Whereunto Parry said I would you had not named me nor spoken of any thing I had from Rome And thereupon he earnestly perswaded me estsoons to depart beyond the Seas promising to procure me safe passage into Wales and from thence into Britain whereat we ended But I then resolved not to do so but to discharge my conscience and lay open this his most traiterous and abominable intention against her Majesty which I revealed in sort as is before set down Edmund Nevil After this confession of Edmund Nevil William Parry the 11th day of February last being examined in the Tower of London by the Lord Hunsdon Lord Governour of Barwick Sir Christopher Hatton knight Vicechamberlain to her Majesty and Sir Francis Walsingham Knight principal Secretary to her Majesty did voluntary and without any constraint by word of mouth make confession of his said Treason and after set it down in writing all with his own hand in his Lodging in the Tower and sent it to the Court the 13th of the same by the Lieutenant of the Tower The parts whereof concerning his manner of doing the same and the Treasons wherewith he was justly charged are here set down word for word as they are written and signed with his own hand and name the 11th of February 1584. The voluntary Confession of William Parry in writing all with his own hand The voluntary Confession of William Parry Doctor of the Laws now Prisoner in the Tower and accused of Treason by Edmund Nevil Esquire promised by him with all faith and humility to the Queens Majesty in discharge of his Conscience and Duty towards God and her Before the Lord Hunsdon Lord Governour of Barwick Sir Christopher Hatton Knight Vicechamberlain Sir Francis Walsingham Knight principal Secretary the 13th of February 1584. Parry IN the year 1570. I was sworn her Majesties servant from which time until the year 1580.
