servant Iohn Cooke did apprehend at severall times divers Jesuits and Priests to the number of 36. at his great charge and hazard of life who were brought before Secretary Cooke and others and by them committed to severall prisons Whereupon the late Secretary Windebanke discharged the said Jesuits and Priests and committed Newton and Cooke severall times to prison for performing their service to their great charges and hazard of life The said Windebanke sending for Newton tooke from him at severall times eight Watches formerly taken from Priests and given to him by the Lords to the value of 70. pound Moreover the said Windebanke took from Newton two rich units of popish Vestments formerly given him by the Lords of the Privy Counceil The said Windebanke engaging his Honour to Newton that he should receive from the Queene 200. pounds or the Vestments againe Newton often demanded the same of Windebanke yet could never get them nor the value of them but onely threatning words Divers Jesuits and Priests constantly frequently the said Windebankes house and amongst the rest one Henry Lloyd alias Francis Smith alias Francis Ryvers alias Francis Simons a grand Jesuite a great seducer and chiefe agent in the great and damnable plot of the Gun-powder-treason who by the counsell of Windebanke and some of his adherents gave a judgement of 300. pound to be a prisoner to the Fleet that the State nor Messengers should take no notice of his Iesuiticall Plot. The said Newton together with one Thomas Mayo about August in the tenth yeare of the King searching the house of one Bartholmen Frumman Esquire of Cheame in the County of Surrey found the said Lloyd alias Ryvers the Jesuite there who going to carry him away the said Jesuit shewed him and two high Constables the said Windebankes Warrant that no Messenger or any other person should molest him whereupon they left him there Moreover the said Jesuite then said to Newton and Mayo and the high Constables these words Are you angry with me for being here if you will stay till to morrow being Monday you shall see seven more Priests of us here this he spake in a vaunting way having a protection from Windebanke The said Newton and Mayo the Michaelmas-Terme following indicted the said Jesuite and Frumman the harbourer in the Kings-Bench and proceeded to the Vtlary whereupon Windebanke sent a Warrant and apprehended Newton and Mayo and threatned them that if they did not forthwith forbeare prosecuting the said Jesuit and harbourer he would immediately lay them by the heels but the said Newton and Mayo proceeded to the Vtlary against them both notwithstanding which Windebanke perceiving caused Justice Bartlet to stay the proceedings thereupon This Francis Smith the Jesuit said to M. Waddesworth and M. Taxley these words in Norfolke some yeers since That it is not now a time nor way to bring in their Religion by disputing or books of Controversie BVT IT MVST BE DONE BY AN ARMY AND BY FIRE AND SWORD The said Jesuit usually frequented the now Archbishop of Canterbury and was very seldome from him which Jesuit perswading Cooke Newtons servant to goe with Sir Kenelm Digby into France that so Cooke might give no more information against Priests and promising him great preferments there he did about Christmas was foure yeers cary Cooke one morning to Sir Kenelms bed-side at M. Burgesses in S. Martins in the Fields where after some discourse Smith taking his leave of Sir Kenelm prayed him in Cookes hearing to excuse him to my Lord of Canterbury that he could not dine that day with his Lordship and prayed him to desire my Lord of Canterbury to remember the businesse that he last spake with him about To which Sir Kenelm replied that he would not faile him to doe it for he was to dine with my Lord of Canterbury that day Iohn Gray a Messenger took one Fisher a grand Jesuit who having been severall times examined before the Lords of the Councell the said Canterbury came from the King and delivered this sentence against him viz. Mr. Fisher fall downe upon your knees and pray for the King that he is so mercifull unto you to save your life It is the Kings pleasure that you must be banished the Kingdome and be committed to the Gate-house there to remain untill you put in good security never to return again Yet suddenly after the said Fisher his imprisonment Windebanke released him and gave him a protection That no Messenger nor any other person should molest him upon paine of his displeasure The said Gray and Cooke afterwards not knowing of his Protection apprehended Fisher whereupon he shewed him his Protection from Windebanke and was thereupon discharged Vpon which Gray and Cook went to Secretary Cook and told him that Fisher was discharged by Windebanke Whereupon Master Secretary commanded Gray to go to my L. of Canterbury and tell him of Fishers discharge Vpon this Gray and Cook went accordingly to speak with Canterbury yet could not have any admittance to him but spake with M. Dell his Secretary and demanded a Warrant of him under Canterburies hand to apprehend Fisher the Jesuite who replied and said to Gray that he was an idle fellow to come for a Warrant from my Lord for he would meddle with no such matter as that was but bid Gray if he would have a Warrant he should repaire to the Councell-board Vpon which Gray answered and said I see how the game goes now is not my Lord Metropolitane of England and ought not he to grant me a Warrant but I hope eye it be long to see better dayes Vpon this the next day following Canterbury complained of Gray and brought him before the Councell and committed him to the Fleet where he remained 14. weeks After which Canterbury seeing the Lords would discharge Gray who oft petitioned them by his wife caused Windebank to lay his Warrant upon him wherupon he there remained prisoner 7. weeks more And upon often petitioning by Grayes wife Windebanke was at last contented to discharge Gray so that Gray would put in good security unto him THAT HE WOULD NOT HEREAFTER APPREHEND ANY MORE PRIESTS The said Newton apprehended Henry Gifford a dangerous Iesuit and brought him before Iustice Griffith where he was tendred the Oath of Supremacy and Allegiance whereupon the said Iesuite replyed and said these words I wish to God that all those who made the Oathes of Allegiance and Supremacie that their tongues were seered in their mouthes and all those that gave consent thereto Whereupon the said Iustice told him that the King the Lords and Commons had made these Oathes and committed him to prison The next day following the Iustice and Newton were intreated to come to Secretary Windebank to speak with him concerning the Iesuit Which they doing Windebank said to Newton Is this a Priest or a Iesuit Newton answered and said If he be not a Priest he is worse than a Priest and told him the aforesaid dangerous
