conscience the Puritans if they durst would tear her in pieces This cannot be for the Honor of France to endure a Daughter of that Nation to be oppressed and affronted The Earl of Holland is made General of the Army whither he is gone down the Earl of Newport Master of the Ordinance Ballfower Lieutenant of the Tower hath proved an errand Traitor to the King who Commanded him upon his Allegiance to receive a Captain and 100 Men into the Tower which he most Traiterously refused to do There was a Report in London that the Parliament House was on fire whereupon there were many thousands of people very suddainly gathered together whereby you may easily see the height and violence of the peoples affections May the 6th Ann. Dom. 1641. Upon the reading of this Letter and exceptions taken to his expression That the Puritans would tear the Queen in pieces and to other passages in the Letter and upon Information also given of his endeavouring to seduce the Kings Subjects to the Popish Religion it was ordered he should be sent for to be examined who thereupon applyed himself to His Majesty and the King told him he would know what the business was before he should go as Philips told the Serjeant and so refused to come with him Hereupon the House of Commons desired Mr. Treasurer to acquaint His Majesty That they had some cause to examine Francis Philips a Romish Priest and to that end sent him a Summons which he doth refuse to obey and makes His Majesties House a Sanctuary in case of High Treason That in respect to His Majesty the House doth forbear to take further course herein till His Majesty be further acquainted with it Hereupon Father Philips appeared and was called to the Bar of the House where he first kneeled and afterwards stood up and being demanded the reason wherefore he appeared not He answered because the Warrant was to apprehend Francis Philips and his name was Robert Philips and that the Queen wish'd him to stay till he had spoken with the King and the King told him the House may send for him when they call for any of his Servants till then he need not goe and the Letter before mentioned being produced unto him he confessed the same to be his own Hand-writing The further examination of this business was referred to the Committee for the Popish Hierarchy who drew up this Impeachment following The Impeachment and Articles of Complaint against Father Philips the Queens Confessor lately committed to the Tower by the Parliament I. THat the said Father Philips hath been observed to be a great cause both in himself and his Adherents of a great part of the unquietness of this State II. He with Parsons and others their Assistants were the only cause that the Pope was stirred up to some Breves to these Kingdoms of England and Scotland to hinder the Oath of Allegiance and lawful Obedience of the Subjects to Our Gracious King that so they may still fish in troubled waters III. The damnable Doctrine which he and other Jesuits have taught to Destroy and Depose Kings hath been the cause of the Civil Wars like to befall these Kingdoms if God in his mercy do not prevent it IV. They have been the cause of the Monopolies projected in this Kingdom especially concerning Soap the Forrest of Dean and marking of Butter-Cask where all the Parties were Partners and Confederates with them as Sir Basil Brook Sir Iohn Winter and a Brother-in-law of the said Sir Iohn that lived in Worcestershire and Mr. Ployden whose Servant named Baldwin hath been seen to deliver to Captain Read a Substitute of the Jesuits an hundred pound at a time to one Jesuite V. Father Philips hath been a great Actor with the Superior of the Capuchins who is a most turbulent Spirit and was sent thither by Cardinal Richlieu of France to be a spy at this Court for the French Faction And hath therefore laboured by all means to breed dissentions for the French aim at nothing more then to make a Schism betwixt the English and the Scots that this State might so be weakened and made unable to withstand them that so they might have an opportunity to conquer these Kingdoms these unquiet Spirits having access to Her Majesty may importune things not fit for the State VI. The said Father Philips hath been guided by a Gray Fryer who by degrees hath intruded himself to be a Clerk of Her Majestys Chappel and Chaplain Extraord in time of progress who when he is out of London goeth by the name of Mr. Wilson but his true name is Will. Thomson Dr. of Divinity as some Jesuits have affirmed but a most furious Spirit and unquiet and therefore by Nickname is by some called Cacafugo that is as much as if in English you should say Shit-fire by whom Father Philips hath been so led that he hath been very officious to perform whatsoever he would have done These two have ruled all the business concerning the two Kingdoms on the Papists parts and for the most part of Rome also VII The said Father Philips hath placed many unfit persons about Her Majesty viz. Sir Iohn Winter to be Her Majesties Secretary Signior Georgeo come late Agent from the Pope his Brother was by his means admitted to be Servant Extraordinary to the Queen a man altogether unfit for that place a most scandalous person having three Wives all now alive VIII Sundry persons by the said Father Philips have been admitted to be the Queens Servants Extraordinary by some supposed Office or other as Mr. Laburn Geo. Gage Brother to Col. Gage have both Oratorian Priests the one of the French Faction very seditious the other of the Spanish whose Brother is now left Resident at Rome for them by his Master Mr. William Hamilton late Agent at Rome Penrick is sworn Servant Extraordinary to Her Majesty who is a sworn Spaniard and Intelligencer for Rome in respect his Brother is Agent here by Father Philips these and many others who are factious and turbulent spirits have by Father Philips his means received protection from the Queens Majesty IX The said Philips hath been much ruled by Sir Toby Mathews Sir Iohn Winter and Mr. Walter Mountague X. He was very forward with his Complices for the breaking of the Ice to begin the Treaty here for the Popes Honors sake and when Sir Robert Dowglas and Signior Georgio were nominated whom he thought most fit Cardinal Richlieu was thought fittest to be the man who should direct him to begin the correspondency between the Pope and the Queen and therefore he was sent to France with many Letters and from thence he was dispatched for Rome by the Cardinal where he was received with great respect and after a Viatick he was dispatched again for England with some few small Gifts as Pictures Crosses Agnus Dei's and such like Popish stuff to Father Philips XI The said Father Philips was the chief Agent in
