These are what Representments attended my Petition that Sir John Coriton put into the hands of Master Speaker Sir Robert in the Year 1675. brought with him out of France the person mentioned in his Petition first he would have made Evident that there was then of His Majesties Subjects a Caball in France who were very active and busie being thereunto much incouraged by a great Person to ingender great tumults and disturbances in His Most Excellent Majesties Kingdoms who would have put into His Majesties Hands some Letters from their Correspondence writ from hence unto the said Cabal in Paris and some of theirs from Paris into their associates here and would have declared how they were introduced unto the French King and his reception of them II.
