The DECLARATION WHereas wee the poore distressed Catholiques Recusants of England have by reason of the penall Lawes in former time made and enacted against us whereby we have to our great hinderances many times bin constrained to part with our good Chattills and money and sometimes imprisonment also to the great hinderance of our estate and calling Yet nothing more grievous unto us then the remembrance of that most detestable plot of the Powder-Treason onely wrought by some decayed fur●ous discontented and evill minded persons professors of the same Religion but quite contrary to all godly or humane Lawes neglecting transgressing and most inhumanely forgetting all goodnesse duty and obligation to God their King and Coun●ry which detestable or rather most d●mnable plot still singing in the eares of the people and daily augmenting and encreasing the memory of the same by many strange Discoveries of unknowne Plots wherein we that truth hath little share onely divised and set forth by some evill willers to Catholique Religion to make us hatefull to the world knowing the vulger sort apt to believe through the evill minds of some bad Catholiques or rather detestable Traytors actors of the Plot whatsoever is or can be invented or set forth against us in any other newly divised Plots now daily spred about the City and Country in many pamphlets which we hope and perfectly know to bee false other waies we should have more hanging drawing and quartering then now we have but hartily wish it to all offendors in such like hands that shall deserve it and desiring that we being innocent and cleare from all Conspiracies or Plots of Treason or any such things hurtfull to our King and Countrey may not be alwaies made reproachable and contemptable to the world Let not the faults of some detestable persons be still inflicted and laid to our charge doe not for a few desperate or ill conditioned Traytors condemne the whole Church to be so but let a more gracious conceit spring from your hearts and truely concurre us as you would your selves be censured by the highest and most dreadfull Judge for wee ought not to judge of others more then certainly we can prove for truth least that judgement light upon our selves If any of us deserve to suffer let us suffer but let us not scourge the innocent least we suffer stripes forgive as you would be forgiven and esteem of us as you would be esteemed true Subjects as wee have alwayes beene and ever will be in witnesse whereof we have here set downe some little Protestations for our Royalty and truth to our King and Country The Protestations WE the Catholique Recusants of England doe truly confesse and acknowledge King Charles to be our true and Lawfull King and chiefe Governour under God And that next

be true to our King Charles not giving or yeelding any Obedience or Allegiance to strangers but will with all our Powers Lives and Fortunes defend and maintaine his Right and the Right of our Countrie against all Forraigne Kings or Princes whatsoever though of our owne Religion We doe protest likewise not to have hand or heart in any conspiracie or plot of Treason or any such thing that may any waies condescend to the hurt or prejudice of our King or Countrie Jn like manner we protest never to entertaine into our houses any Ammunition as Gunnes Powder or Halberts Pikes or Swords or any other Jnstruments of Warre thereby to defend our selves or to rayse any forces against our Royall King Charles or Native Countrie Also we deo protest and yeeld our selves as true loyall Subjects to our King

upon us by the vulgar for which we shall be ever bound to pray for happie successe in this world and their everlasting joyes in the world to come in the meane time we have thought good to adde to rhis
