THe last weeke we receiued and published certaine priuate Letters concerning the late intended horrible treason against the Prince of Orange and the States of the Low Countries At what time the said Letters were written little or nothing was knowne concerning the said Conspiracie but since divers persons haue beene apprehended and some of them examined and tortured vpon whose examination the States haue permitted something to be published to the world thereof which I hauing receiued in the Printed Dutch Copie I haue caused to be translated and Printed together with the originall vnto which I haue added the weekely Relation of Newes from severall parts of the world assuring you that so soone as more particulars shall come to my hand by the like sure hand with good approbation you shall receiue it impartially till when I bid you farewell this 19. of February 1622. CErtaine dayes agoe came certaine men to some sailers of the Barge or small Ship of the Prince of Orange c. telling that they were Ingeners and good Parriots and relating that they had in hand certaine enterprises against the enemies in which they were to be imployed secretly and must cause certaine fire-works of Gun-powder and other matterialls to be made readie without reuealinge to any liuing bodie For if they did otherwise and that it came to the light they should suffer punishment on their bodie in regard of these and other speeches did the Sailers promise to assist them and to keepe counsell for the good of the Country These Wolues in sheepes skinnes hoping that they should come to their intent or purpose one of the Traytors as you shall heare hereafter went to his pocket and gaue each of the Sailers aforesaid three hundred Gilders which amount to thirtie poundes sterling to encourage them the better to the businesse and told them if they made their workes well and that they made good operations that they should be better rewarded But they admonished them againe to keepe secrecie aboue all thinges seeing as they sayd it concerned mightily the Countrey and charged them to bring the fire-workes aforesayd as soone as they should be done in Trunkes and Chestes to the Hage and Rotterdam from whence they should carry them where it should be required and they be ordered to transport them assuring them to performe their promise within the space of a certaine time One of these Traitors played afterward the Merchant and bought certaine Pistols to send them as he told to Count-Mansfield and others These being packt vp in a Truncke and sent by his direction to the house of one of his consorts who had a deepe Seller into which they were presently carryed and tryed against a heape of sand whether they wold giue fire were fit for their purpose Afterwards he caused them to be packt into another Truncke and to be sent to an Inne of the Hage as it appeared lately About this time were the Conspirators and their consorts appointed to meete on seuerall places where they intended to execute their wicked designes And amongst the rest these Saylers aforesaid came the 5. of February with some of their fire-works to the Inne appointed vnto them in the Hage where they found diuers other men besides them which had set them on worke vpon the deliuery of it the Saylers were very well entertained with drinke and meate without any charge of their owne One of these Saylers perceiuing with an eye cast that the partie who gaue him the mony had some conference with a man of Bleyswick as he suspected and tooke him for such one as he was certaine off to be no friend or well willer of the Prince of Orange This Sayler musing about this went to bed with one of his louing fellowes and although he had well supped neuerthelesse was his head full of strange conceits his fellow slept the same night very well but he dreamed many seuerall dreames and when he awaked he had many strange fancies in his minde so that this night seemed very long vnto him wished many times for the day light As soone as it was day light they rose with their other fellowes and laught about the dreaming falling tumbling and tossing of the dreamer aforesayd but he would not tell them what his minde did giue him and how he was affected After that they two had tasted a Cup of Aqua uitae they went together walking abroad the rest remaining yet by their drinke As soone as the Dreamer came on the street hee told to his fellow his late dreames and what he had seene and obserued the day before and sayd in plaine termes vnto him that he suspected these counterfeicted Ingeners were plotting Treason relating also that he thought it very cōuenient to giue the Prince of Orange notice of their setting at worke and proceedings and other circumstances for sayd he if this be a thing which is for the good of the Country without question the Prince of Orange shall know of it The other interposing presently his Iudgement spake in this manner It cannot hinder vs although we giue the Prince of Orange notice of this for if the matter be indeed intended for the good of the Countrey we haue done it and receiued therefore three hundred Gilders And if it be otherwise the Prince of Orange will moreouer without doubt honour vs with a peece of money or some drinke money as they sayd and we shall stand still in his fauour To be briefe they concluded amongst themselues to reueale it to the Prince of Orange but feared that they should not be able and resolute enough to speake to his Excellency But considering by themselues that it was a matter of great consequence they went towards the Court intending to try their fortune howsoeuer When they came there they perceiued that his Excelency was rod abroad towards Risewick where is one of his Stables of horses whereupon they went in all hast

thitherwards and discoursing by the way made one another to beleeue firmely that it was but a foule busines which they had taken in hand As soone as they arriued at Risewick they found out one of the Pages of his Excellency and intreated him to giue notice to the Prince his Master that they would faine speake with him Hereupon hee sent them word that hee was presently to take his Coach and would come to heare them Whereouer they desired the Page againe to shew his Excellency that they would willingly speake with him instantly euen about a businesse which concerned himselfe mightily The Prince hauing vnderstood this commanded his Page to bring these Saylers aforesayd vnto him and when they stood before him he asked them what their desire was they answered that they had some secret matters to impart with his Excellency Whereupon he tooke them aside and conferred priuately with them and hearing of a thing of which he knew not before he mused not vpon the businesse but road in all hast to the Hage and reuealed this matter at the meeting or Counsell Chamber of the States Whereupon there was giuen order that the 6. of February according to the new stile in the yeare 1623. as they reckon already beginning their new yeare continually with the first day of Ianuary the Fiscall or Prouost or rather the Attourney of the Court was sent with certaine men which attended vpon him to search the Inne or Tauerne seeing the Dutch word Herberge which in this place is vsed signifieth both of the Helmet or Casket in the street called the North-end Comming there he asked the Hoste for the Truncks and the owners thereof two of them which are named in the Proclamation hearing an inckling of this stole secretly at the same instant out of the sayd house comming away betwixt the Sergants and men which attended vpon the Fiscall All the the other were stayed or arrested in the house vntill the Fiscall should come backe againe out of the meeting of the States where he told that this was not the house for the Hoste was much discontented and sayd that he had no Trunkes of any lodgers or strangers in his house But being afterwards informed and perswaded to the contrary he went to the sayd house againe and searcht vntill hee found the Truncks and ceased vpon the Hoste his Mayden-seruant beside three other men amongst which was he who gaue the money to the foure Saylers which being euen with the rest taken were kept in a Chamber at the Fiscalls house vntill such time as the other had partly confessed the matter The Hoste and the other for all that they were mightily threatned and strictly examined would confesse nothing which had any likelihood or colour of truth Whereupon there was presently ordered that the Souldiers which lay there in Garrison should instantly beset and stop all the passages to wards the Hage This was not sooner performed ere there came one of the Traytors aforesayd in a Waggon which he had hyred to carry him to Delfe The Souldiers perceiuing this Waggon asked who was there Whereupon he knowing his Guiltie conscience sprong or leaps from the Waggon intending to escape by running away whereby there arose a great rumor in the Hage in such manner that euen the Townesmen armed themselues In the meane time there was a Sergant sent in all post hast towards Leyden to fetch the Hangman which put there the same day some Malefactors to the torture So that vpon the fasting and prayer day which was appointed by the States after the Sermon in the Church was done they were examined by the hangman in an other manner which made them to confesse so much that the Piscall was presently sent to the dwelling place of the widowe and children of Barneuelt comming there he learned that his Sonnes were departed although they were yet the day before seene walking in the streets wherevpon two of their seruants and the Pedagoge or Tutor of the children were apprehended and the house left in the custodie of the Sergeants When these Malefactors had now readie enough confessed concerning the said businesse the States commanded the Saylers to be set instantly at liberty and bestowed aboue 20. double Ryders of the Vnited Provinces each one of them amounts to twentie-one shillings Sterling vpon euery one of them Wherevpon they went away with good contentment and hoped according to the Tenor of the Proclamation to get yet certaine thousand Gilders On thursday night there were yet three other of their consorts taken and on Fryday one of Berckel and two of S. Hertoghenbosh Their names I will yet keepe secret to blame them not before they are found guiltie and cannot cleare themselues The same Fryday it was rumored in the Court that a Souldier had deserved alreadie foure thousand Gilders hauing taken one of them which are mentioned in the Proclamation Certaine Cittizens of Rotterdam and Delft were taken the same Fryday and the next Satterday The Confessions of the accused are kept verie secret by the States and there is mightily doubted whither the common people shall be acquainted with them even for great and weightie reasons seeing also the olde Proverbe sayth That he shall seldome doe euill who knoweth it not And there are some which are well informed of their trayterous designes that will say that there is no Chronicle nor Historie which maketh mention of such a Barberous Enterprise and relate moreouer that if it had succeeded that the Pillars had beene fetcht from vnder out of the building whereby the vtter ruine of it would haue followed immediately That a great number of the Inhabitantes should haue beene murdered and blowne vp in the ayre besides them which should haue beene burnt and slayne by the sword of our Enemies which lay ready with many thousandes liering after this occasion and pray which is for this time by the fauour and mercy of the Almightie fetcht as if it were out of their Iawes he hauing heard the prayers of the faithfull For it is most constantly reported that the murther of the Principall heades and members of these Prouinces besides the firing of the Magazins or store houses with powder were intended vpon the late mentioned fasting day Here commeth daylie newes and we perceiue it also that diuers wicked persons of their consort begin to absent themselues aswell hence as from Rotterdam and Leyden besides other places As soone as they bring here any one to the Prison the people runnes together in such manner as if they were going to an assault Here followeth the Dutch Relation 'T HAEGHSCHE DISCOVRS Belangende de groote Verradery Onlanghs ghehoort ende ghesien met allen het gheene dat al 's tot in 's Graven Haegh ghepasseert is SEER Dircrete Cosijn ick en hebbe niet na laten konnen V.
