after my departure the L. Fernehurst then in Paris should goe into Scotland and bee readie vpon the first newes of the Queenes fal to enter into England with 20. or 30000. men to defend the Queene of Scotland whome and the king her sonne I doe in my conscience acquite of any priuitie liking or consent to this or any other bad action for any thing that euer I did knowe I shortly departed for Englād arriued at Rie in Ianuarie 1583. from whence I wrote to the Court aduertised some that I had a special seruice to discouer to y e Queens Maiestie 8 which I did more to prepare accesse credit then for any care I had of her person though I were fully resolued neuer to touch her notwithstanding any warrant if by any deuise persuasion or policie shee might bee wrought to deale more graciously with the Catholiques then she doeth or by our maner of proceeding in parliamēt meaneth to doe for any thing yet seene I came to the Court thē at Whitehal praied audience had it at large and very priuately discouered to her Maiestie this conspiracie much to this effect though couered with all the skil I had she tooke it doubtfully I departed with feare And amōgst other things I cannot forget her Maiesties gracious speech then vttered touching the Catholiques which of late after a sort I auowed in parliament she said to mee that neuer a Catholique should be troubled for religion or supremacie so lōg as they liued like good subiects Wherby I mistrusted that her Maiestie is borne in hande that none is troubled for the one or the other It may be truely said that it is better then it hath bene though it be not yet as it should be In March last while I was at Greenewich as I remember suing for S. Katherines came letters to mee from Cardinall Como dated at Rome the last of Ianuarie before whereby I found the enterprise commended and allowed and my selfe absolued in his holines name of all my sinnes and willed to go forward in the name of God That letter I shewed to some in Court who imparted it to the Queene what it wrought or may worke in her Maiestie God knoweth only this I know 9 y t it cōfirmed my resolution to kill her and made it cleare in my conscience that it was lawfull and meritorious And yet was I determined neuer to doe it if either pollicie practise persuasion or motion in parliament could preuayle I feared to be tēpted therefore alwayes when I came neere her I left my dagger at home 10 When I looked vpon her Maiestie and remembred her many excellencies I was greatly troubled And yet I sawe no remedie for my vowes were in heauen my letters and promises in earth and the case of y e Catholique recusaunts and others little bettered Some times I said to my selfe Why should I care for her what hath shee done for me haue I not spent 10000. markes since I knew her seruice and neuer had penie by her It may be said she gaue me my life But I say as my case stoode it had bene tyranny to take it And I feare me it is litle lesse yet If it please her graciously to looke into my discontentments I would to Iesus Christ she had it for I am weary of it And nowe to come to an end of this tragical discourse In Iuly I left y e Court vtterly reiected discontented and as her Maiestie might perceiue by my passionate letters carelesse of my selfe I came to Londō Doctor Alleins booke was sent me out of Fraunce 11 it redoubled my former conceites Euery word in it was a warrant to a prepared mind It taught that Kings may be excōmunicated depriued violently handled It proueth that al warres ciuill or forraine vndertaken for Religion is honourable Her Maiestie may do wel to reade it to be out of doubt if things be not amended that it is a warning a doctrine ful dangerous This is the booke I shewed in some places read and lent to my cousin Neuil the accuser who came often to mine house put his finger in my dish his hande in my purse and the night wherein he accused me was wrapped in my gowne sixe moneths at least after wee had entred into this conspiracie In which space her Maiestie and 10. Princes in seueral prouinces might haue bene killed God blesse her Maiestie from him for before Almightie God I ioy and am glad in my soule that it was his hap to discouer me in time though there were no danger neere And nowe to the maner of our meetings He came to me in the beginning of August and spake to me in this or like sorte Cousin let vs doe somewhat sithens we can haue nothing I offered to ioyne with him and gladly heard him hoping because I knewe him to be a Catholique that he woulde hit vpon that I had in my head but it fell not out so He thought the deliuerie of the Queene of Scotlande easie presuming vpon his credit and kinred in the North I thought it daungerous to her and impossible to men of our fortunes He fell from that to the taking of Barwicke I spake of Quinborough and the Nauie rather to entertaine him with discourse then that I cared for those motions my head being full of a greater matter 12 I told him that I had another maner of enterprise more honourable and profitable to vs and the Catholiques common wealth then all these if he woulde ioyne in it with me as he presently vowed to do He pressed to knowe it I willed him to sleepe vpon the motion He did so and belike ouertaken came to me the next morning to my lodging in London offered to ioyne with me and tooke his othe vpon a Bible to conceale and constantly to pursue the enterprise for the aduancement of religion which I also did and meant to perfourme the killing of the Queene was the matter The maner and place to be on horsebacke with eight or tenne horses when shee shoulde ryde abroade about S. Iames or some other like place It was once thought fit in a Garden that the escape woulde be easiest by water into Shepey or some other part but wee resolued vpon the first This continued as agreed vpon many moneths vntill he heard of the death of Westmerland whose land and dignitie wherof he assured himselfe bread belike this conscience in him to discouer a Treason in Februarie contriued and agreed vpon in August If it cost him not an ambitious head at last let him neuer trust me He brought a tall gentleman whom he commended for an excellent Pistolier to me to Chanon Rowe to make one in the matche but I refused to deale with him being loth to laye my head vpon so many hands Master Neuil hath I thinke forgotten that hee did sweare to me at diuers times that all thaduancement she coulde giue shoulde serue but for her scourge if euer time and occasion

in the beginning of this Parliament in Nouember last hee did eftsones solemnely in publique place take the othe before mentioned of obedience to her Maiestie Howe that may stande with his reconciliations to the Pope and with his promises vowes and othe to kill the Queene it is a thing can hardly bee warranted vnlesse it bee by some speciall priuiledge of the Popes omnipotencie But let him haue the glorie hee desired to liue and die a Papist Hee deserued it it is fit for him his death was correspondent to the course of his life which was disloyall periured and traiterous towardes her Maiestie and false and perfidious towardes the Pope himselfe and his Catholiques if they will beleeue his solemne protestations which he made at his arraignement and execution that he neuer ment nor intended any hurt to her Highnes person For if that be true where are then his vowes which he said were in heauen his letters promises vpon earth Why hath he stollen out of the Popes shoppe so large an Indulgence and plenarie remission of all his sinnes and meant to perfourme nothing that hee promised Why was his deuotion and zeale so highly commended Why was hee so specially prayed for and remembred at the Altar All these great fauours were then bestowed vpon him without cause or desert for hee deceiued the Pope he deceiued the Cardinals and Iesuites with a false semblance and pretence to do that thing which he neuer meant But the matter is cleare the conspiracie and his traiterous intent is too plaine and euident it is the Lorde that reuealed it in time and preuented their malice there lacked no wil or readinesse in him to execute that horrible fact It is the Lorde that hath preserued her Maiestie from all the wicked practises and conspiracies of that hellish rable it is hee that hath most graciously deliuered her from the hands of this traiterous miscreant The Lord is her onely defence in whome shee hath alwayes trusted The Printer to the Reader WHEN I had taken in hande and beganne the printing of this treatise or declaration aforesaide a gentleman of good vnderstanding and learning came to me and being made acquainted by mee with the former treatise hee saide that hee had by conference with diuers that were at the araignement of this traytor where also he himselfe was present collected together the whole proceeding against him and had also attained to the viewe of all his cōfessions his letters and other writings there published against him by all which hee had gathered into a shorte Treatise most manifest proofes of the horrible treason intended by the Traytor against her Maiestie And although the former treatise doeth at length manifestly declare the same yet I required this Gentleman my friende to graunt mee the copying of his collections which hee was willing to doe And so I haue bene bolde for the more ample satisfaction of euery reader to adde the same hereunto Wherein also gentle Reader thou shalt finde inserted these Figures 1.2.3.4 c. till 13. And the like in the Traitors owne Confession by which is noted the principall pointes of the drift of this most horrible Treason A fewe obseruations gathered out of the very wordes and writings of William Parry the traytour applied to proue his trayterous coniuration with a resolute intent imagination purpose and obstinate determination to haue killed her Maiestie our most gratious soueraigne whome the Lorde hath saued and euer may he saue by his mercy THis W. Parry the traytor 1. cōfesseth to haue conceiued the treason at Venice by conference with Ben. Palmio of whom he still thinketh so well as he can not but speake of him with reuerent mention whereas if he had neuer thought or did nowe forethinke the Treason hee would rather curse the time that euer hee met with such a bloody and treacherous ghostly father Well this graue and learned Frier Palmio saith he made the matter cleare in religion conscience and commended the Traytours deuotion This treason Parry so apprehended as he wrote presently to the Pope presenting the seruice 2 Returned to Paris hee conferred with Morgan vowed to performe it for restitution of England c. 3 Being disswaded as the credible man writeth by Wats he replied that he was gone so farre as he could not go backe but promised faithfully to perfourme thenterprise if y e Pope woulde vpon his offers and letters allowe it and graunt remission c. Where this by the way is to be noted that if the opinions of these English Priests as he will needes make vs belieue were differing from the Pope and our English Iesuites varying from Iesuite Palmio and other beyonde sea Iesuites in the question of murdering a Prince some of them at least would haue giuen loyall intelligence of such a treason conceiued nourished in that man who had made so many priuie both beyonde and on this side the sea and coulde not be disswaded from his purpose but euer departed with a resolution contrary to these colde disswaders It were no good pollicie to trust this popish Traytour but rather to suspect all Pope-created Priestes to be of the same mind with their supreme head and all English Iesuites to consent with forreyne Iesuites their fellowe members They be all of one order and vowe they haue one superiour and if they had detested this fact in deede some of them seeing the wretch to persist must needes haue bewrayed it not to suffer him to go on headlong in such a sinne leauing her royal person to the will and malice as much as in them lay of a murthering Ruffian But to proue his intent with continuance growing of the same 4 againe he writeth letters to the Pope in Ianu. 1584. by that account tooke aduise vpon them in confession of An. Codreto was cōmended againe confessed tooke the Sacrament verely cruentum sacramentum sacrificium cruoris at the Iesuites at one altar with the Cardinales of Vandosmi and of Narbone Hereof he had certificate to the Pope which he sent enclosed in his letters to his Holinesse to leade him to absolue him which he required in consideration of so great an enterprise vndertaken without reward 5 The letter and certificat he read to Ragazzoni and left with him to be sent to the Pope who wished him good speede promising he should be remembred at the altar 6 He doubteth least if Morgan died and he miscaried in thexecution as he did God be thanked and choked in the halter notwithstanding their remembrance at the altar and his intent neuer truely discouered that is to say that he did it for the Catholikes it might be a spot in his race Marke here the very worde intent in his owne confession Morgan assureth him that the lord Fernehurst should go into Scotlād be ready to enter vpō the first newes of our Queenes fall Thus much for his intent beyonde Sea and before his coniuration discouered Upon his arriual in England he
