did recollect that one Wyard had tempted him to Bastinado such a kind of Person which this Informant had before viz. In the beginning of March told unto the said Mrs. Mary Seares for an account whereof this Informant refers himself to his Information taken before Sir Philip Mathews a Copy whereof this Informant delivered this day to the said Committee of Lords And this Informant did also repair about the first of May last to the Earl of Clarendon and in writing gave the said Earl under his hand a Paper containing the matter about the wounding the said Gentleman and hopes the said Earl will produce the said Paper to which this Informant refers To which this informant added by word of Mouth That the Earl of Shaftsbury was in danger of his Life to which Earl this Informant repaired because he was going into Flanders and fearing he might be accused for the wounding of the said Gentleman during his absence That that writing delivered to the Earl of Clarendon might clear his Innocency And this Informant farther saith That the Lady Abergavenny sent for this Informant into Lincolns-Inn-fields this last Summer was a twelve month And then told this Informant the Lord Powjs would speak with him in the Tower To which this Informant answered He would but acquainting the said Ambassador therewith His excellency forbid him to go Wherewith this Informant also acquainted the said Earl of Clarendon who seemed to know the Lady Abergavenny saying She was his Neighbour and he farther saith That a certain person came to the Ambassador and in this Informants presence told the Ambassador That one Roberts Porter to the water-gate at Somerset-house was apprehended upon which this Informant observed the Ambassador to look very pale thereupon a●ked the Ambassador My Lord Is he concerned in this business with me To which the Ambassador replyed He is a man of Courage and will undertake any thing And in May last this Informants Brother Abraham de Faria coming to London this Informant told the Ambassador of it who asked if he were a Catholick and being answered thereto His Excellency asked if he were a man of Courage Whereunto this Informant replied We are all wel born bred And his Lordship replyed I would have him in this Affair with is were Isare of him And Commanded this Informant to send him to him this Informant told his said Brother that the Ambassador would speak with him But this Informant was not with him when he went to the Ambassador nor knoweth what passed between And this Informant saith that upon the day of Sir George Wakeman's Try●l the Ambassador sent him in his Coach to wait upon the Lord Chief Justice Scroggs and sent up word by one of his Gentlemen That one from the Portugal Ambassador would speak with him The servant brought answer That he could not see the Ambassador that day because he should be engaged upon the Tryal of Sir George Wakeman all the day Which the Ambassador being acquainted with his Lordship sent this Informant to hear the Tryal And this Informant stood by Sir George all the time and gave him White paper to Write upon and employed one Mr. Cooper a Scrivener in Drury-Lane to take in Writing the Tryal and gave him 20 s. for his pains which this Informant delivered to the Ambassador who immediately sent it to the Queen then at Windsor with which and a Letter this Informant should have gone to Windsor had he not been very weary And the same night this Informant was sent to Sir George Wakeman in St. Martins-Lane to Complement him on the Ambassadors part but he was not then come to his Lodging in St. Martins-Lane So this Informant went next morning and found him in bed with his Wife and as this Informant was Commanded told him from the Ambassador That his Fortune and Estate was at his Service and so was his Prince 's and the Prayers of the good Catholiks have prevailed for your delivery and we are all bound to Sir Philip Lloyd for his Generosity to you at the Tryal and we are all bound to pray for him Whereunto Sir George Wakeman replyed If it had not been for him I had not been saved so we are all bound to pray for him And I pray return my Lord many thanks for his Offers and that he would wait on his Excellency that very day to give him thanks for his Favours but that he must first go to Windsor to wait on the Queen but at his return he would wait on his Excellency And Sir George then took this Informant by the hand and said I am sorry Mr. Faria that I had not the happiness to speak with you before For I am informed what a man you are and that you could do great Service for the Catholicks But alas it is now too late Thence this Informant went again by Order to the Lord Chief Justice Scroggs to know when my Lord Ambassador should visit him The Lord Scroggs answered that the Ambassador would do him great Honour to visit him but he was that day to go out of Town by one of the Clock Wherewith the Ambassador being acquainted he went about Twelve in his Sedan with a Coach of State wherein this Informant was to the Lord Scroggs in Chancery-Lane The Complement was in Portugueze and this Informant Interpreted to this effect My Lord I come to visit you as you are a Minister of State and am sent as Ambassador from the Prince of Portugal to the King of Great Britain and am directed to visit you and am likewise to thank you for the Justice you have done yesterday to Sir George Wakeman To which the Lord Scroggs answered I am placed to do Justice and will not be curbed by the Vulgar and so I thank your Prince and your self for the Great Honour you have done me And this Informant farther saith That a Portugueze came to him when the Earl of Ossory was to go for Tangier offering this Informant that he might go with the said Earl as his Interpreter and should have 300 l. per annum for his pains But this Informant reflecting that the sum offered was too big for that Service believed this was a Snare to take away his Life The same Portugueze offered him to go for Flanders where Monsieur Fonsec might prefer him to the Prince of Parma But he looked upon that as a Snare also therefore refused And this Informant saith That about 6 months ago he was assaulted by two unknown Persons with their Swordsdrawn but he happily escaped from them And farther saith not Fra de Faria

One Hundred in hand the other Hundred when the work or business is done To which this Informant replied that that might be done by a Porter for a shilling To which the said Wyard replied you may believe by the Sum that is offered that there is something more to be done besides Cudgelling And when you have done you shall have a better Reward To which this Informant replyed he scorn'd such unworthy and base proposals and utterly refused to treat with him about it Then the said Wyard desired this Informant to go speak with the Lord Powis in the Tower To which this Informant answered That he had no business with the Lord Powis nor the Lord Powis any with him as he knew of who then shewed this Informant a Letter from the Lord Powis to this Informant which Letter was to this effect Mr. de Faria Come to me to the Tower and speak with me but let no body know who you are The said Mr. Wyard when he found this Informant utterly refused to go to the Lord Powis or to treat in the said business any farther the said Wyard then told this Informant He would meet this Informant in the same place on the morrow and would then bring this Informant a Letter from a person of Quality whose hand this Informant did well know and that this Informant had Papers then in his pocket under the said Persons hand And on the morrow the said Wyard did meet this Informant in the said place and then shewed him a Letter writ in the Portugueze Language which contained these words being into English Translated Francis Do what this man bids you for it shall be well done Subscribed G.
