Doctor Oates made a Discovery of a Popish Plot agâ—inst the Life of the King the Protestant Religion and for the Subversion of the Government on which Sir George Wakeman the Queens Physician Coleman Secretary to the Dutchess of York and several Jesuites and Preists were apprehended and committed As were not long after the Earl of Powis Viscount Stafford Lord Arundel of Warder Lord Petre and Lord Bâ—asis these last five were all committed Prisoners in the Tower of London Sir Edmundbury Godfrey a Justice of peace Sir Edmundbury Godfrey Murdered who was appointed to Examine the Prisoners first committed was Murdered on the 12 of October which confirmed all Men in beliefe of the Conspiracy and on the 1st of November the Parliament Nemine Contradicente did declare themselves fully perswarded of the same Soon after Godfreys Murther came to be discovered by one Bedlow prompted thereto by his Conscience on whose evidence and one Prance's Green Berty and Hul were Convicted and Executed Examinations And farther Inquiries relating to the Plot going on for two or three Moneths The long Parliament dissolved and and another called to sit the 6th of March in all which time the King continued seâ—mingly doubtful and incredulous of the same and finding the Parliament more Zealous and forward in prosecuting that Affair then he approved of on the 24th of January Dissolves them after they had sat seventeen Years and above eight Moneths And called another to sit the 6th of March following On the 28th of February He requires the Duke of York by a Letter to withdraw from England Duke of York leaves England which he obeys and retires with his Family first to the Hague and then to Brussels To make all things appear more pausible The King choses a New Council viz.

The King finding his new Parliament slow in advancing Money for disbanding the Army Parliament dislolved and one called to sit the â—7 of October 1679 and withall beginning to nible at a Bill for Excluding the Duke of York first he prorogues them from the twenty seventh of May to the fourteenth of August and in the mean time July the twelth he dissolves them So as this Parliament proved as short lived as the former was long And another Parliament is called to sit the seventeenth of October following SECT 6. Sect. 6 At this time troubles began to arise in Scotland for on the first of June a great party of the Presbeterions to the Number of fifteen Hunder'd Rendevouz'd under the Command of Robert Hamilton at Lowden-hill and Marching to Glasgow from thence Issued a Declaration Covenanters up in Armes in Scotland giving their reasons for taking up of Armes But this business has been so often and so fully published and so universally known as I think a repetition or a particular Relation of the progress and event altogether unnecessary farther then to tell you that the King sent the Duke of Monmouth speedily down to Scotland who so managed the matter Defeated by the Duke of Monmouth June 22. 1679. that on the twenty second of June Encountering this ill governed multitude at Bothuel-bridge he defeated them totally near eight Hundered being killed and a greater Number taken And so an end was put to this undertaking Tho the main designe was to render the Duke of Monmouth Odious to the Presbiterians Duke of Monmouth declared a Baâ—â—aâ—d by sending him on this expedition yet it proved quite otherwayes for the whole Protestant party were now so affrayed of a Popish Successor that they cast their eyes on Monmouth so favourably as they lookt on him as the only Person after the Kings death to stave off the Succession of his Brother whom they so much dreaded so this project failing the next was to declare him â—llegitâ—â—te which on the third of March following the King did very solemnly giving it in writing with his own hand it these words Given under the Kings hand For the avoyding of any dispute which may happen in time to come Concerning the Succession of the Croun I do hereby declare in the presence of Almighty GOD that I never gave nor made any Contract of Marriage noâ— was Married to any Woman in whatsoever but to my present wife Queen Kathaâ—â—â—e now living CHARLES REX Whitehall March the third 1679.

Duke of York returns to England About the latter end of August 1680 the King fell sick which the Duke of York heâ—ing of he came to England and on the second of September went to the King at Windsor the Consequent whereof was the Banishment of the Duke of Monmouth Monmouth banished who reteired to Vtrecht and a little after the Duke of York went back to Bruss is but with no design to stay long there for on the twelth of October he with his whole Family arrived at St James's to the astonishment of many And on the twenty seventh of November after Both return soon to England All Monmouths places taken from him the Duke of Monmouth came to London being welcomed by the Citizens with all possible expressions of Joy which so displeased the Court and Irritated the King as all his

The Turks were so vexed at the loss of this place as they presently beseige it with Sixteen thousand men but the Garison Delsino left in it made so stout a defence as the Turkâ— after the loss of Two thousand Men were forced to raise the â—eige Cobluch yeilded to Delphino Soon after this Delphino took Cobluch after a Seige of 9 dayes only And on the 7th of September General Steinau Landed with an Army in the Island of Scio Scio yeilded to General Steinau and on the 9. he seised on the Suburbs of the City the next day he played on the Castle with four Cannon and four Mortars and set it on Fire in several parts and on the 14 they sprung a Mine the hideous noise whereof together with the havock the Bombs had made so terrified the defendents as presently they capitulate and surrendered on condition they should be transported safe into lesser Asia which was done accordingly SECT 4.

XX. An. 1695. SECT 1. Sect. 1 Notwithstanding the universal Sorrow occasioned by the Death of Our excellent Queen the Parliament went on effectually with their Work tending to the publick well and safety passing several Acts to that end and all agreeable to His Majesties Will and Desire Affairs in Flanders reqâ—iring the Kings speedy repair thither He was pleased before His Departure to appoint Lords Justices for the Administration of the Government during His Absence viz. The Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury Lord Justices of England The Lord Keeper The Earl of Pembâ—ook The Duke of Devonshire The Duke of Shrew bury The Farl of Dorset and the Lord Godolphine And so on the 12 of May He departed for Holland Villeroy General of the French Armies after Luxemburgs Death The Famous Luxemburg Dying

And tho this sudden and strange Act. Allarum'd both the Empire and the Emporour himself yet the former was so intent on keeping up a suffiâ—ient force against the Incroachments of France And the Latter having all his thoughts busied how to defend himself and the Empire against the Invasion of the Turks which threatned him and came on next year that this business of Strarburg was little minded or regarded at this time CHAP. VII Anno 1682. We return again to England The Ignoramus Bill of my Lord Sâ—astsbury stuck so deep in the Stomachs of the Court faction The Charter of London questioned as they set all their Wits on the Tenter hooks how to take the Election of Sherisls out of the power of the City for doing which no expedient could be found An. 1683. but by taking away their Charter to which end in Hillary Term 1682 they bring a quo warranto against the City Judgement against the City and so the King and the City enter the Lists which occasioned strife Debeats and hard Struglings on both sides for a long time but in Conclusion the Court party prevailing in Trinity-term following Judgement is given against the City to the general astonishment of the whole Nation Prince Ruperts Death On the 29th of November 1692 Dyed Prince Rupert in his House in Spring-Garden in the sixty three years of his Age Beloved generally of all England and his Death bewailed CHAP. VIII Anno 1683. SECT I. Sect. 1 Now the Court frames a new Plot and father it on the Presbyterians of surprizing the Guards Presbyterian Plot of Murdering the King and his Brother on their return from New-mercat and of raising the People at Blackheath on a pretended Foot-Ball match The main design being against the Earl of Essex and the Lord Russel who are presently apprehended and confined in the Tower where in a few days after it was given out Essex murdered in the Tower that the Earl of Essex had cut his own Throat but by many remarkable circumstances and especially the odd proceedings at the Coroners inquest the certainty of this lyes under great suspition and is much doubted of by all impartial and uninterested persons That very day on which Essex Murder happened the Lord Russel was on his Tryal Lord Russel Executed July 21th 1683 and being Condemned was Executed in Lincolnes Inn fieilds a few days after protesting his innocence at his last Hour and leaving a Paper in the Sheriffs Hands to declare the same to the World dated July 21. 1683. But too long to be inserted hero These Tragical Acts were followed with the Execution of Bateman And three more soon after Walcot and Rouse And though some escaped with Life yet they were oppressed with exorbitant Fines from Ten thousand to an hundered Thousand Pounds for Scandalous Words against the Duke of York The next person of quality brought on the Stage was the Honourable Collonel Sidney a Man inferior to few for his Noble Extract Algernoon Siâ—ney Impeached Condemned and Executed but for his excellent vertues hardly to be matcht by any who being ranked in the same Categorie with Essex and Râ—ssâ—â— Conâ—piring to depose the King and stirring up Rebellion is Impeached convicted and Condemned for High Treason and Executed on Tower-hill the 7th of December 1683 making such an excellent Speech on the Scaffold as makes the name and Memory of Algernoon Sidney Savory and famous SECT 2. Sect. 2 Notwithstanding these Bloody proceedings somewhat more was requisite to making the King an absolute Despotical Prince The Charters of all Corporations questioned and that was to ingross the Charters of all the Corporations in England and get them wholly in the Kings Hands as they had that of London knowing that this would quite subvert and alter the constitution of the Parliament For the House of Commons consisting of Five hundered and Thirteen Membâ—rs whereof only Ninety two are Knights of Shires near five parts of six must consist of Burgesses and Citizens and all those if this project take effect must doubtless be of the Kings chusing and must have their dependency on the Court favour and so it may be easily judged where the plurality of Votes would run when matters fell in debate between the Court and its opponents So all the Wits about Court are actively employed in carrying on of this important Affair which by many strange and irregular methods at last they accomplished A farther step the Court made by demolishing and quirting the Garison of Tangier Tangier quitted and demolished and the Forces brought over to Enland the keeping whereof for above twenty years had cost the King an Hundered thousand pound per annum and by bringing over the Forces being most part Papists both Officers and Souldiers and quartering them in the most considerable parts of England In this pitiful state we shall leave England for a while and take a view of the terrible War ensueing betwixt the Emperour of Germany and the Turks The French Kings pretensions in Germany Flanders c. In the mean time take notice that the French King not only Seizes the Towns of Homburg and Bissul the only two places remaining to the Duke of Lor rain of all his Dutchy but ripping up all the old Monuments and Records of the Parliament of Metz he indeavours by them to prove a Title to many Countries and Villages both in Germany and Flanders and actually claymes them This did so allarme all the potentats on the Continent as the Emperour Swâ—dland and the States of Holland Franconia and several other free and Imperial Cities enter into a Mutual League of Defence The league of Ausburg which was called the League of Ausburg In bringing which to pass the Prince of Orarge was Eminently active But the King of England was not at all concerned in this grand affaires on which my Author makes a-severe re-mark SECT 3. Sect. 3 But tó returne to Germany and Hungary take notice of the ground of this War which was occasioned by a discontented party in Hungary of whom Count Teckeley became the sole Head after the fall of Serins several Expedients being proposed for accommodating matters between them and taking no effect nothing would satisfie the mal-contents but the calling in of the Turks to assist them The Emperour finding them resolved on this thought

The Imperialist pursues them hotly even to their Camp making great slaughter and without any stop drove them from their Camp and gave them a total overthrow In this action the Turks lost sour Thousand Jamsaries and two thousand Spah's their Baggadge and all their Artillery being twenty three prices of Cannon and four Mortars The Christians lost not above an Hundered Men and of them no person of Note Vicegarde taken by the Turks But while the Serasquier lay before Gran where he lost near three Thousand in the attaches he detach't a partie to Vicegrade which after a whiles brave defence was forced at last to surrender carrying off their Arms and Baggage and came safe to the Imperial Army This small loss was a boundantly Compensed with the gaining the strong Garison of Newheusel which was thought invincible Newheusel taken by storme by the Duke of Croy and Caprara for the General Caprara and the Duke of Croy who commanded the Forces left at the Seige by the Duke of Lorrain having by great application and industry made their approaches so near as their Cannon had made a breach in one of the Bastions so broad that three Men might enter a breast resolved on a general Assault the next day being the ninteenth of August which accordingly was performed and carryed on with such incredible Resolution that notwithstanding the Vigorous resistance made by the Defendants they rushed into the Town and put all to the Sword only Hassan Basha who was ill wounded and ten Officers were saved They found in the Town seveny five peices of Cannon besides a great quantity of Warlike provisions This great loss of the Turks moved the Serasquier Ipradim to wriâ—e to the Duke of Lorrain offering some

The Duke being informed that the Grand Visier with near eighty Thousand Men was Encamped near Mohatz repassed the Drave and Marched towards him the Dukes Army being Joyned on his March with eight Thousand Swabian Troops so he came near to Mohatz on the 29 of July where he spent some days indeavouring to draw the Turks to a Battle and finding them to decline an ingadgement he made a show of retireing towards Sycloâ— on purpose to draw them after him which had the wished effect for the Grand Vasier being animated with the Dukes Retreat on the 12 of August advanced and ordered ten Thousand Spaht's and five Thousand Janisaries to attack the Imperialists left Wing which they did with great furie but were bravely repulsed by General Dunewald Turks defeated at Mohatz 16000 killed and so both Armies intirely engadged the Turks observing better order in that Bartle then ever formerly the Fight continued for a long time with great courage on both sides But by little and little the Turks began to loss ground and at last took themselves to open flight The Christians persued closs and entered pel mel with them in their very Camp making a horrible slaughter in which Action the Christians lost not above seven Hundered Men but of the Turks there were killed on the spot and drowned in the Morasses and River few less then sixteen thousand The Christians got a very rich Booty in their Camp with a Hundered and sixteen peice of Cannon The Duke of Bavaria had for his share the Grand Visiers Tent which resembled a Castle for bulk enriched wiâ—h Gold Pearles and Precious stones he got also all the I late Jewels and forty thousand Duâ—kats in Cash Butschin yealded From Mohatz the Duke detached General Dunewald with Forces to attack Butschin which lay between the Drave and the Save to which he laid Seige the 11th of September and followed it so vigorously as on the 14th the Aga who Commanded surrendered at discretion this strong Fortress being gained brought above a Hundered Villages about it under Contribution it covered Virovitzâ— and hindered the Turke of sending any succours to Sigeth and Camsia Esseck abandoned by the Turks The Garison of Essâ—ck being allarum'd and daunted with the lofs of this Important place abandoned it on the 29th of September which General Dunewala hearing of sent Count de Lodion with a detachment thither who entered the same without any opposition finding in it fifty two peices of Cannon four Mortars and a vast quantity of Ammunition and other provisions After this the Turks surrendered Walpo at discretion and abandoned Possega the Capital City of Sclavonâ—a and some other smal Garisons Transilvanta revolts To return to the Duke of Lorram he understanding that Abafit Prince of Transâ—invama had declared in favour of the Port notwithstanding of his Treaty made with the Emperour about the 15th of September passed the Theysse and Marched his Army directly towards Transilvama which he presently reduced under the Emperours Obedience and concluded an advantagious Treaty with Prince Abasts and the States of Transilvama Reduced by Lorrain And from thence he went to Presburg the Capital City of upper Hungary where the Emperour then was and who by this time had so settled all Affaires with the States of the Countrey Joseph Arch Duke elected King of Hungary and crowned as they were willing to accept of Arch-Duke Joseph the Emperours eldest Son for their King whose Coronation was performed on the 9th of December following with the greatest Pompe and Solemnity To all this good success is added the surrendry of Agria to Count Caraffa Agriâ— surrendered which was kept by Rustem Basha and four thousand Turks who were starved out of it only by

Sect. 12 From thence the King Marches towards Lamrick And on the 9th the Army made their approach to the City in excellent order Seige of Lamrick And though the Irish had considerable parties of Horse Dragâ—ons and Foot posted advantagiously in inclosed Grounds and behind hedges for near two Miles from the Walls of the Town the English went resolutely on beating and driving the Enemy from hedge to hedge to their very Walâ—s losing but 11 or 12 Men in that difficult and hazardous enterprize and before five at Night the Army was posted and the Seige formally laid That Night the King sent a Summonds to the Governour to yeild which he utterly rejected and so they went to Work It 's Reported that a French Man and a Gunner deserted the Army the day before and getting into Limrick gave a particular account of the Artillery which was coming from Dubline Whereon Sarsfieâ—ld with a body of Horse passed the River in the Night time Sarsfeid takes the Artillery at Cullin far above Limrick and marching about through the Hills on the 12. of August fell in upon the Train by day break at Cuâ—len killed about sixty of the Guard and of the Waggoners The Troopers pickt up as much of the best of the Baggage as they could carry away with them and then drew together the Carriages Waggons Tin-boats Ammunition and all the provisions into a heap about the Cannon and filling them full of Powder and putting their Muzles under the Ground laid a short Train and at their marching off fired it which blew up the whole heap with a hideous noise The Night before Sir John Lanter was ordered out to Cullen being within 9 Miles with Six hundred Horse to bring the Artillery safe into the Camp but he came too late by an hour in which time Sarâ—fiâ—â—ld was got out of his reach This unhappy adventure was very unpleasing to the whole Army however the Seige went on and the Trenches were opened on the 17 Batteries are presently raised and it happening that at the blowing up of the Train at Cullin Two of our Cannon Twenty four Pounders escaped spliting these were brought up and mounted which did special good service dureing the Seige My Author says That it would be an endless task to trace particularly all the attacks and defences made at this Seige And I say so too being present at it so passing by circumstances of the proceedings I shall as he does give you an account of the most material Action and of the Conclusion of this unsuccessful enterprise After a breach had been made over the black Battery Limrick attackt nigh St. Johns Gate of about twelve Yards in length On Wednesday the 27th of August the King ordered the Counterscarp to be attackt and the signal being given half an hour after three afternoon the Granadeers went boldly on and in a Trice beat the Irish quite from the Coâ—nterscrap they flying to the breach the Granadeers pursued and lodged themselves upon the breach whereon many of the Irish forefook both the breach and the Walls and fled in to the Town and had not the Regiments that were to second the Granadeers The Asseliants beaten off stopt by some unhappy mistake they might undoubtedly have carryed the Town at that first Assault but the Irish observing that the attack was not pursued and pushâ— on with that vigour as they expected and feared return'd to the Breach and so pepper'd the English with incessant fireing as after three houres resistance they were forced to retreat The Brandenhurgers at this time had got upon the Black battery closs by the Breach where a great deal of the Enemies Powder lay which unhappily taking sire blew a great many of them into the Air and falling down again on the hedge-stakes which were fixed round the Battery there they hung like Skar-Crows At this Attack there were killed five hundered and above a Thousand Wounded and the Army was so greived at this unexpected repulse and the King himself so much concern'd as he resolved to raise the Seige The King goes for England And so the very next day he went to Dunâ—annon accompanyed with the Prince of Denmark and several other Lords and on the 5th of September took ship and arrived at Kings-road near Bristol the day following and on the 9th he went to Windsor Before he left Limrick he appointed the Lord Sidney and Thomas Conninâ—by Esquier Lord Sidney and Thomas Coninsby Esqueir Lord Justices Lords Justices of Ireland and Count Solms General of the Army who going to England soon after left the Command to the brave General Ginkle Within three days after the Kings departure General Solms breaks up the Seige and dispersed the Army into Winter Quarters The Seige broak up On the 21 of Septermber The Earl of Marelborough with some Forces arrived in Cork â—arbour and being joyned by the Duke of Wirtemberg Major General Scravenmore Major General Tetteau and Four thousand of their Forces on the 26 He presently formed the Seige Cork yeilded which continued not long for they plyed the Town so warmly as Collonel Mckillicut the Governour came to a Parley and surrendered the Garison consisting of Four thousand were made Prisoners of War Kinsale yeilded and all the Ammunition and Armes in the Town delivered up to the Victors And before the fifteenth of October Kinsale and both the Forts were surrendered to Marlburrough Leaving Ireland We step over now to inspect how Affairs go between the Confederates and the French King The Duke of Savoy having continued neutral hitherto The French King presses him to declare And in the mean time for security of his Neutrality requires the Citadeâ—s of Verceil and Turin to be put into his hands which motion being declin'd by Savoy and France becoming more and more suspicious of him Monsieur Catinat is commanded to march the French Troops as far as Turin which he did yet forbearing for a time all Acts of Hostility Duke of Savoy joins with the Confederates The Duke of Savoy having spun out the time as long as he could by some unsatisfying Overtures to the French King at last openly declares himself and allying himself first with the Empeperour and the King of Spain soon after he Embarques with all the Confederates The first Article of his Treaty with the Emperour was this He engages not to enter into any Treaty of Allyance with the most Christian King without consent of the Emperour show he kept this Article the World knows and the next Article was he engages himself to act jointly with the Emperour and the rest of the Confederate Princes against France and her Adherents The Articles betwixt the Emperour the King of Spain and the Duke of Savoy are written at length by my Authour The Summ of all being a full and firm mutual Confederacy against France Defensive and Offensive together with some
of Argos 3000 Turks â—illed and the new General Molino joining their Forces making Ten thousand Foot and Two thousand Horse encountered him and after a Bloody fight for 3 Hours forced him from the feild of Battle with the loss of Three thousand of his Men. And that night he fled out of the Morea with so much haste as he left in his Camp 14 peices of Cannon 2 Mortars mary Bombs and much Provision with 700 Oxen and 320 Camels and Horse as a Booty to the Conquerours who in this Action lost not above Five hundred Men. The King of Poland did nothing considerable this Campaign most of his time bâ—ing taken up in reconciling a Feud between the Bishop of Vilna Pole and the General of Lathuama both his own Subjects this being the bad fate of a Prince who holds a precarious Crown Nor did the Muscovites any thing against the Tartars England but the blocking up of Asoph The King comes to England Parliament dissolved and a new one called We come home now to England The King returning from Flanders in October was received with universal Joy for His great Success that Can paign and on the 11 of October He â—â—sued a Proclamation for dissolving the then Parliament and calling a new one to meet on the 22d of November following At this time came an Envoy from the great Duke of Tuscany to Congratulate His Majestys happy accession to the Throne On which my Author has a pretty drolling remark taken out of Suâ—tonâ—us who sayes the Iâ—â—â—enâ—es coming too late to condole with the Emperour Tibertus for the lose of his Son Diusus who Answered them and I also condole with you the Death of Your great Country-man Hector The Kings Speech to the Parâ—â—ament At the meeting of the Parliament The King made an excellent Speech wherein he highly extol'd the valour of the English in the great Actions of the last Campaign And withal laid before them the necessity of considerable Supplys for carrying on the War and for other indispensable needful uses cautioned them against Heaâ—s and Divisions and exhorted them to that quick dispatch of business as the importance of Affairs required And a little after he ordered Admiral Rooâ— to go into the Straits in room of Admiral Russel An. 1696 now come home with our great Ships Death of the Bâ—shâ—p of Mentz This year on the 30 of March dyed Auselm Francis Frencrick de Angetherm Bishop of Mentz And was succeeded in the Bishoprick and Electorat by Lethaer Francis de Schonborn his Coadjator and â—ishop of Bemberg CHAP. XXI Anno 1696. SECT 1 Sect. 1 England This year began with a great deal of Murmuring and Complaint about reforming the Coin Aâ—dâ—â—â—bâ—e Piâ—t discovered but that Affair was so prudently managed by the Parliament as the querulous humour lasted not so long as the Mal contents desired and endeavoured For the happy and seasonable discovery of their double hellish â—lot of assasinating the King and the Invasion of England from France gave all thinking Men somewhat of greater importance to employ their thoughts on than the inconveniency attending the rectifying of the Coin This wicked project had its first contrivance in the latter end of the year 1694. bâ—t by several turns of a favourable Providence to us was Embarrassed till this time My Author having fully traced this Affair with all its circumstances from first and last I shall only give you a summary account of what I think most material The preparations for the Invasion were carried on in France with that expedition as when the late King came to Catais on the 18 of February he found all in a readiness and immediatly ordered the Troops the Artillery and Stores to be put on board with all possible speed The French Invasion fidstratâ—â— Which the King having notice of ordered Admiral Russel to rendevouse the Fleet in the Downs with all haste in which their was so quick dispatch and celerity used as in 4. or 5 dayes the Admiral had a fleet of near Sixty Men of War in a Line of battle with which he stood over presently for the Coast of Catais and Dunkirk which laid an absolute Embergo on the French Fleet. Where I leave them and return to the Assasins who consulting and proposing several ways and means for accomplishing their Bloody and Villanons design at last concluded on attacking the King at a Bridge between â—rentâ—ord and Turnham-green by which place His Majesty used often to return from Hunting And had so fully conâ—erted and settled the matter in all points as they fixed on a day for putting this Hellish Enterprise in Execution which was to be on the 15 of February But that Providence which has so miraculously and so often preserved His Royal Person prevented His going Abroad that day as he had design'd This unexpected Cross-bite did so daunt 2 or 3 of the Villains as they broke off and abandon'd the design but the Devil was so predominant in the rest of the Desperadoes as they persisted still and on a new meeting and consultation appointed the 22d of February for prepetrating the horrid Fact at the place formentioned The Plot discovered But several days before this heaven had blown up their Plot for on the 14 of February one Mr. Pendergass who was invited into the Assasination but consented not came to the Earl of Portland tho an absolute stranger to him and breifly said My Lord I pray perswade the King to stay at home to Morrow for if he go Abroad he will be Murdered One Mr. De la Rue made the same Discovery a little after And that Night Pendergrass and he being introduced to the King gave a full relation of the whole Conspiracy yet all this while made no mention of the Conspirators Names but the King pressing this home to them his obligeing carriage and Expressions and the weighty reasons he gave for the necessity of that Discovery prevailed so with them as they gave him a List of all their Names whereon he presently issues a Proclamation for their apprehension promising 1000 pound for every one of the Offenders that should be taken and brought to Justice The King made a pertinent Speech to the Parliament on this occasion On which after congratulating His Majesties safety on the 25 of February they enter into an Association to defend His Person and to Revenge his Death and farther they made an Act that all persons who bare any Office of Profite and Trust should besides Swearing the Oath of Fidelity sign this Association otherways to be rendered uncapable of their Employments And in the mean time several of the Assasin's being apprehended Three of the Conspirators Executed Robert Charnock the most wicked and inveterat of them all Edward King and Thomas Keys were Brought to Tryal on the 11 of March And upon full evidence being all found guilty of High Treason were sentenced and upon the 18 of the
