give just ground of scruple that a large freedom is allowed to them on that account but it would be too tedious to turn over the Popish Casuists for the deciding of that controversie leaving therefore the Scholastical and skirmishing part to abler pens I shall content my self to exhibit one passage relating to the matter in hand mentioned in a Book called the Jesuits Catechism composed almost 60 years since by a Member of the Roman Church but not of the Ignatian Order His words mentioned lib. 3. Cap. 12. at the end of that Chapter are there They says he speaking of the Jesuits have a rule in practice that men are bound to accuse themselves to their Confessors and not themselves only but all their Confederates also and for the Magistrate the Malefactor being condemned to die after he hath once made Confession of his sins to his Ghostly Father he is not tied to reveal it to his Judge nay it is lawful for him to stand in stiff denial thereof at the time of his Execution as being clear before God though he persist in a lie after he hath once discharged the depth of his conscience to his Confessor A thing that the same Author subjoyns that breedeth much scruple in the mind of a Judge who otherwise is greatly quieted in conscience when an offender adjudged to die howsoever he have beforetime stood in denial of the Fact yet at the time of his death confesseth the Truth An Abstract of the Material Passages at the Trials of Mr. Ireland and Mr. Whitebread relating to Mr. Ireland 's being in London about the middle of August 1678. tending to clear much of the matter of Fact mentioned in the foregoing Papers The things for which Ireland was indicted were The conspiring the King's Death also That he did indeavour and contrive to change and alter the Religion established in the Nation and introduce Popery in the room of it pag. 13. of Ireland's Trial And in order thereunto that Pickering and Grove should assassinate the King p. 19. which Resolve Ireland signed about the 24th of April 1678. p. 19 20. Pickering and Grove failing in August following Mr. Ireland and others met at Harcourt's Chamber and their held a close Consultation how to accomplish their Design of killing the King which they determin should be by Four Russians whom they actually hire and dispatch away to Windsor in order to the accomplishing that most Barbarous and most Treasonable Project where Dr. Oates saw Mr. Ireland present p. 26. and 40. The Russians also failing to kill the King at Windsor they determin That Pickering and Grove should go on and that Conyers should be joyned with them to Assassinate the King in his Morning-walks at New-Market this they had taken so strongly upon them that they were very eager to accomplish it p. 41. These things Ireland was accused of by Mr. Bedlce Dr. Oates affirming that he took his leave of Mr. Ireland in his own Chamber between the Twelfth and Four and twentieth of August Ireland being then Writing a Letter as Dated from St. Omers and that afterward when Dr. Oates went to Fenwicks Chamber Ireland came thither also so that he saw him twice about a Fortnight within August p. 60. Sarah Pain Confirmed both their Evidence by Swearing that she saw him about the same time at the Door of his own House p. 57. These things Mr. Ireland denys and indeavours to disprove their Evidence only as to time because not in London in August last i. e. in A. D. 1678. but in Staffordshire p. 46. and 56. and this he attempts chiefly to prove against Dr. Oates in Order to the Nullifying his Evidence and so confidently affirms himself not in London for the whole of that August this he offers to prove by Twenty Witnesses p. 44. and 56. and says First he would indeavour to prove that there was not Two Witnesses against him for that which Mr. Oates said of his being at Harcourts Chamber in August was false for he was all August long out of Town in Staffordshire upon the Third Day he went down to Staffordshire with my Lord Aston and his Lady and his Son and Sir John Southcot and his Lady and saith he all these can Testify that I went down with them here is Mr. John Aston in Town if he may be found who was in my Company all August in Staffordshire p. 56. But to save him that Labour the Kings Evidence offered to prove that he was in Town at that time for which they Swore Sarah Pain who affirmed she knew Mr. Ireland and that she saw him in Town in August last at his own House which was at a Scriveners in Russel-street in Covent Garden about a week before she went with my Lord Arlington to Windsor which was about a week after the King was gone thither which Sir Tho. Doloman said was about the 13th of August How she knew him was because he came often to her Masters house that was Mr. Groves the Person Condemned with him averring that he was the Man that broke open the Pacquet of Letters That her Master carried about aterwards and he Sealed all the Pacquets that went beyond the Seas and he opend them still when the Answers returned them back again p. 57. Against whose Evidence he opposed that of his Sister Ann Ireland and his Mother Elinor Ireland who both said that on Saturday the Third of August he set out to go into Staffordshire and he continued there till it was a Fortnight before Michaelmas which says the Sister I remembered by a very good Circumstance because on the Wednesday before my Brother and my Mother and I were invited out to Dinner we staid there all night and all Thursday night and Friday night my Brother came home and on Saturday de set out for Staffordshire p. 58 59. Sarah Pain being again asked if she was sure that she saw him in the Place she mentioned and about the time She answered yes I am sure I saw him at that very Place and at that time but Mr. Ireland then confidently professed he never knew her although she was Mr. Groves Servant and used to carry him Letters from her Master 's his words are I profess I do not know her 20 people may come to me and yet I not know them and she having been Mr. Groves servant might have brought me Letters and yet I not remember her p. 58 59. But my L. C. Justice thus recapitulates Sarah Pains Evidence against him she says that she saw you in London about the 10th or 12th of August and she makes it out by a Circumstance which is better Evidence then if she had come and Swore the precise day wherein she saw you for I should not have been satisfied unless she had given me a good account why she did know it to be such a Day She does it by Circumstance by which we must calculate she saw you about the 12th or 13th day she went to my Lord
