That Green Berry and Hill having so good Authority without Warrant from any General or other Superior Commissioned from the Pope by the legal Decree of the Holy Inquisition to kill what Hereticks they pleased for them to acknowledg themselves Guilty had bin to renounce their Holy Pope and Holy Inquisition which were to renounce God and Christ and leave the Church Headless and condemn Holy Garnet and all the Red-letter'd Saints who consecrated themselves by the Slaughter and Massacres they have made of more Protestants within this two hundred Years than are now any where alive and kill'd and burnt more in two Protestant King's Reigns than in all their Popish Predecessors and especially they had blasphemed their French and Irish Massacres and English London-Fire those renowned Proofs of Roman Zeal and Religion The Examination of John Lund of Iver in the County of Bucks taken upon Oath before me Henry Coventry Esq one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State this 2d day of January 1678. Who being duly Sworn and Examined saith THat upon Tuesday the last day of December last about six of the Clock of the same in the Evening this Examinant being abroad to look after some Wood-stealers he saw seven or eight Men on Horse-back coming from Iver-Heath towards Iver-Town and three or four of them parted and went the way toward Rickmansworth and the other four came down the Land near which this Examinant stood One of them having occasion to Untruss he alighted and another held his Horse and commanded the other two to go forward who as this Examinant supposeth were their Servants This Examinant saith That he was on the other side the Hedg and very nigh this Person who alighted and heard the one say to the other How are things like to go The other answered Well enough for as for that Inquisitive Dog Shaftsbury and that Dog Essex and another whose Name this Examinant did not perfectly hear but it was Holle or Alle or some such sound their Business should be done The one asked Which way The other answered One Mac who was a clever stout Fellow and had courage would do it in Womens Apparel The other asked again Are you sure he will do it Yes said he he will but if he will not there are a thousand will do it for the same Encouragement And this Examinant further saith That he heard one of the said Persons say to the other Do not fear nor be discouraged for we will send their Souls to the Devil for a New-years Gift And then they mounted and went forwards to a Place where the ways parted and two of them went towards Kingston and the other two towards Windsor One of these Persons who had this Discourse under the Hedg had a black Cap on his Head and the other a Hat all the Horses were dark coloured and two of the Persons had Waste-belts on and one of them had a laced Livery as near as this Examinant could perceive And further this Examinant saith not Taken before me this 2d day of January 1678.
