Taylor what credit he doth the Souldiers to be affraid of a Musick-meeting surely the Souldiers of that Garrison are fraughted with very unharmonious Souls to be frighted with fiddles Delamain being Engenier it may as well be that the new rayles set up in Castle street were to hinder a surprise by a Camisado of Hobby-horses and pray who were the company that put them into this terrible Alarum and so much insisted upon affrightment Do you think any of their own party could be there truly you shall finde Mat. Price of the States Arms Inholder Gent. and G. Lynne their own Croneys participants in this dangerous enterprize and to whom they were beholden for the story or else they had missed of an Article and Delamain of matter to forswear himself withal besides whom were but ten men and about six women most of them inhabitants of the City of Hereford were not these dangerous people and those dangerous instruments to surprize a Castle man'd with about 70. or 80. Souldiers and of whom Delamain swears they were all necessitated to keep to their arms They were in a good posture yet one of them being brought to swear to this plot I think his name is James Vaughan but it is Vaughan tells you he believes there was a design because he had much a do to escape casheiring for being absent then it seemeth then it was not for kissing the Governors maide so that all were not there honest Delmain but when it came to be strictly searched into neither the Souldiers for the greatest part nor Officers of the Castle ever knew of any such meeting at Captain Taylors till such time as half a year after and above the plot was found in the Articles against Captain Taylor and perhaps some were so long after affrighted and brought neer to that pass as the poor man that dyed the next day after he had passed a narrow plank that lay cross a decayed Arch on Rochester-Bridge upon the imagination of the danger he had escaped Lieutenant Jenkins being at that time Deputy Governor in the absence of Lieutenant Colonel Rogers did declare when he was summoned to depose this against Captain Taylor for such a plot could not be known more plain to any then to the then Governor he called the Officers of the Garrison together and diligently enquired of them whether they ever heard of any such meeting at Captain Taylors To which with one accord they answered they never knew or heard of any such meeting and that they did not keep to their arms by reason of any convention at his house which Lieutenant Jenkins did also declare for himself by which he escaped the journey to Glocester it being the place appointed where if he could or would he should have sworn the plot and this their ignorance and not knowing then of the meeting and their not standing to their arms by reason of the convention at Captain Taylors musick they will attest Further I have heard declared and ascertained that one of those very nights Delamain courted Captain Taylor in case there should be any risings in the Country or stirs in the City directing him a back way from his dwelling in the Pallace of Hereford into the Castle were I acquainted with Captain Taylor I could have given you many more circumstances which I have heard of but because I would do nothing without a certain and sure ground nor anticipate his formerly-intended resolutions of exposing the whole carriage of this business to a publick view which would have been a great help to me in the management of this small tract and it may be a remora to the whole if he had done it effectually I have contented my self with these few passages in respect of the multitude of his Prevarications because that I have throughly informed my self of the real truth of them from honest Godly persons of that County who had seposited certain collections of his enormities and by my own search into Haberdashers-Hall at my own charge of taking out orders and depositions And now that you may see the horridness of Delamains forswearing himself the little account he makes of other mens reputations having lost his own the improbability of his conversion the small hopes of his amendment his perverse malitious and obdurate heart as also Captain Taylors innocency adjusted and the good opinion and sense after this charge against him the Commissioners of Haberdashers-Hall had still of him be pleased to accept of the Order as it lies there Registred viz. By the Commissioners for Compounding c. IN the Cause depending before us upon a charge of misdemeanor exhibited by Captain Mason against Captain Silas Taylor one of the Commissioners for Sequestrations in the County of Hereford upon reading the several proofs ond depositions taken for and against the said Captain Taylor and upon deliberate hearing and debate thereof and of what was offered and alledged by the Counsel on both sides Resolved that we do not find the said Captain Taylor to be guilty of the crimes contained in the aforesaid charge and do therefore acquit him of the same And do Order that he be forthwith restored to his employment as a Commissioner for sequestrations in the said County of Hereford and he is hereby enabled and impowered to act with the other Commissioners serving for the said County as formerly in as full and ample manner as if no order had been for suspending him from the same R.

I hope by this you perceive him an egregious knave upon Record and with what a piece of pestilence you have to deal and by this let all his friends and fautors be warned of his friendship Rom. 3. for latet Anguis in herba his throat is an open Sepulcher with his tongue he hath used deceit and the poyson of Asps is under his lips he makes no conscience of his actions or ways neither to God or men I need not further characterize him these his actions his words his demeanors and his practises are enough to render him in his own capacity without any strain or force sufficiently odious to the world And now I challenge any one that finds himself either in part or in whole concerned in this History to disprove the Truth of it having received it from men truly religious and of unblamable life and conversation and out of such undenyable and unquessionable Records as that the truth cannot suffer yet before I conclude let me humbly petition those that are in Authority to interest themselves in the rooting out of such prophaneness blasphemy heresie and hypocrisie left hearing of these things and not redressing of them they draw on their own Souls the guilt of tolerating and connivence if not of abetting such Impostures as these are to the undoing of many souls it being the policy of that Grand Impostor Satan to work into a disrelish and dislike of the truth all such as any wayes though it be in bare profession without the root of sincerity do set themselves to worship God in a stricter and purer way then the common course of the world do and to lay the heaviest load of temptations upon such that buckle themselves to walk in the paths of Gods precepts Heb. 12. running the race with patience that is set before us looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith clothing our selves with circumspection and vigilancy continually to stand upon our guard Rev. 18. lest instead of Angels we entertain Devils and instead of the mysterie of Godliness we participate of Mysterious Babylon and so become pertakers not only of her sins but of her plagues her plagues that shall come upon her in one day death mourning and famine and she shall be utterly burnt with fire for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her FINIS
