AN ABSTRACT OF THE CONTENTS Of Several LETTERS Relating to the MANAGEMENT OF Affairs with Rome BY THE D. of Y. and Others Published for Satisfaction of the People with a Preface Shewing our present Dangers and the Authors thereof By a Protestant To all Protestant English YOU cannot think it possible without a Miracle that the bottom of this execrable Popish Plot contrived and carried on at this time under the Umbrage and Countenance of many of our Grandees Favorers and Professors of the Popish Religion for Murdering the King and Subversion of our Religion and Government should appear to the World under the Hand Writing of the Conspirators seeing the power and influence they had upon the Government when Mr. Oates offered his first Information of the Plot gave them confidence it may be not without Reason to assure themselves notwithstanding such Discovery to be safe under the Accusation and certain of accomplishing their Designs and thereby the Conspirators being at the first handled gently had opportunity and were helped to convey away their Papers and Letters which had they ever appeared in view would have told the whole matter beyond contradiction And had not Coleman by a strange confidence and infatuation left in his House some Papers not valued by him though yet containing enough to demonstrate the Bulk of the Design we had had but very little of it under the Plotters hands but those Letters and Papers containing transactions past Three Years since did not so fully make out the Design as the later Letters and Papers would without doubt have done which by the vigilance of our Enemies and the Treachery of our pretended Friends have been concealed burnt and destroyed The Abstract of some of those Letters that escaped are here presented to publick view whereby it will appear to all Protestants who have been our greatest Bosom Enemies in Conjunction with Rome for our Destruction and what power and influence Rome had over the Councils of this Nation most of the Persons therein mentioned being well known to be great Zelots in the Romish Superstition and one of them the very occasion of the Plot which the late House of Commons hath in a Vote for that purpose grounded upon undenyable Evidence and Demonstration it self worthily and truly signified to the Nation Can any Man in his wits but apprehend from what springs flow the present hopes the Papists have of playing an after game and replanting their Superstition once more in this Kingdom Are not all their hopes in a Popish Successor who is come lately from beyond the Seas with a mind we fear as little Agreeable to the temper as the Religion of the English Nation All that you have is now at stake a King that is an Idolater makes his people like himself as the many Examples in the Old Testament will sufficiently illustrate so that whosoever is for a Popish King let their pretences be never so specious is for Popery And the Idolatry which some miscall Religion now exercised by the Papists much worse then that practised in old Rome and the Laws of the Realm whereby our liberties and properties are fenced and maintained are inconsistent the same hour your Religion is altered which a Popish King if ever God shall be pleased to punish us with such will certainly effect the same day the whole Law will be destroyed and the English Nation will be reduced thereby to absolute slavery under the most malicious Enemy it hath furnished with a revengeful mind which nothing but Slavery Ruin and an Ocean of English Blood can satisfie It may be at present his pretences may be modest though his own party gives out he intends to make a Bargain with the People by turning Protestant if the hard hearted Hereticks will accept thereof for all they have but my dear Country-men you may not relye upon such Counterfeit Jesuitical shams in case he should renounce his Idolatry upon peril of loosing your selves Religion and Estates you can have no assurance that this turn is real and be assured it is all Imposture and Juggle which the Tenets of the Romish Superstition do not only allow but command him to Act for the advancement of the Holy Church do but reflect upon his present Carriage and the Carriages of his Accomplices in ridiculing the Plot and slandering and contemning the Discoveries and Evidences thereof And then you can never be seduced to imagine he Acts a Protestant with any other design then the intire ruin of your Religion and Government All his fine Speeches and promises are to be lookt upon as nothing you know 't is an established Doctrine in one of their Councels That Faith is not to be kept with Hereticks And such he esteems you I have heard that 't is as Common as Dispensations from the Pope that the Serpent allwayes before he Drinks Vomits up his Poyson and when he hath Drank his Fill licks it up again so it 's possible may the D. his Idolatry till he and his Accomplices may be in a capacity to Drink the Blood of the Protestants at will and pleasure Call to mind the Story of Queen Mary who did not without our D. hate the Nation how she perswaded our Fore-Fathers and especially the Suffolk-men to Fight for Her under many promises and assurances that She would establish them in their Protestant Religion but She having obtained her end and got into the Throne by their Assistance She Burnt more Protestants of Suffolk then of any other County in England Therefore if you believe like men or Christians acquit your selves like men for the Glory of God the safety of the Kings Person and the benefit of your selves and posterity in opposing such designs of which if effected will render you of all men most miserable Cardinal of Norfolks Letter to Mr. Coleman By his Letter of the Fourth of January 1676. It appears Sir Henry Tichborn was a Messenger to Rome He rejoyceth at the Prorogation saith if the King would do well all would be well Hopes to serve the Duke to good purpose In his Letter of the Eighth of February 1676. Saith he doth all he can to serve the Duke Hath writ to Mr. Haies at his Brothers moves that the Kings Ministers may joyn with the Popes Ministers about P. Furstenburge and about the peace and the Pope will send a Minister on purpose His Letter of March 1676. was signed Cardinal of Norfolk Mr. Coleman to be asked who the Messenger was was sent by an express that was to return with what his Master and Mistriss had to Communicate this was a Letter of Credence In his Letter of March 14th 1676. he odrers Mr. Laburne his Auditor to write understands the Duke received his useth to direct his Letters to the Portugal Embassador for Mr. Coleman Takes notice of Plunket having the Letter of Arch-bishop Talbot at Rome offers his service to the Duke and all the Catholicks whether they will or no saith Talbot is enough to spoil
