AS truth is truth those who persist therein are the Sons of God and such as to the contrary go doubtlesly time will show the effects what is due to God let us pay and in what is our Anointed Kings let us obey I am his Subject and renounce his Grace if disloyalty can be laid to my face Religion leads me unto this tenent so should it Man-kind the great Turk hath his Law to keep his Subjects in due awe Give Caesar his due that is the thing from which Loyalty doth spring our Sacred King is just and above all may give the Law to rise or fall in the protection of his true Subjects a true Protestant he is out of all doubt any thinks other is but a Lout Her Gracious good Majesty is our Queen our duty to her should be seen and own'd so as no malignant tongue may not lead us along but into what is just in Religions many opinions there be His Majesty strives to let us see that the Protestant Religion he will uphold if we in duty do not grow cold weowing Allegiance unto our King so let us pay him and his as in true Religion we are bound unto let criminals their fate endure and Innocents receive their cure As so what is it we Subjects can groan under let us but consider and look of our Neighboring Subjects their Poverty Slavery and Misery then look upon the now Subjects of His Sacred Majesties King Charles the second and upon the happiness of his Reign have we wanted either in trade or splendid subsistance when most of the world have been in war and full of misery and our Alarums in breading confusions O the disatisfaction of man when not contented never comprising when he is well this I intend not to prevent or avoid precautions our Sacred King is most certainly our Head and where can lodge his interest surety or safety but in the uphold protection and preservation of his Loyal and good subjects for as he is the Head the Body cannot subsist but in him and by him would not the son and true heir of a Subject think it a hard usage and dealing that he should last the effects of a crime and hazard a conviction therein ere he where summond to appear or answer if this may be allowed how much more doth it regard the true interest of a Prince is undeniable why did Pilate condemn Christ but because he stayed not to hear the truth O what can be said of the times but strange his Royal Highness being brought on the Stage whose Name Fame Glory Vallor and Gallantry hath esclatted through Europe He from his Minority did never refrain from the hazard of his most Royal Person fairly to win all applause nay his subsistance in Foreign Countries what hath not he done for the safety honor and Glorious preservation both by Sea and Land of his Nation and His Sacred Majesties good Subjects If there be any who knoweth not this sure he is a sleep but they are not who are Villains and Impudent Rascals that most libellously set forth in Pamphlets to ecclipse his due and rights such who take that liberty what would they not be at to emote troubles and disturbances in His Majesties Kingdoms and Dominions Were I summond to appear before the face of Justice or Persons in Power I could attest prove that in the year 72. and 73. how some of His Most Excellent Majesties Subjects have been trampling indeavoring and abetting to raise insurrections tumults and disturbances in His Most Excellent Majesties Kingdoms and Dominions to the intent of subverting His Majesties Fundamental Laws and Government and I am ready to prove that his Royal Highness was so much a stranger and unknowing in the said intermedlings as nothing could be more some malignant spirits will sensure what I hear say to be a Paradox to the contrary I am ready to make appear nay more that if the said insurrections had proceeded or gone on I will make out or forse it my head If that his Royal Highness would not be the first that would hazard his Life and person to oppose and suppress the said intendments had I been interrogated when I was in the Moneth of May last 79. summond to appear as I have at the Bar of the Honorable House of Commons as I was before summond nay carried Prisoner to the Black Rod and appeared before their Most Honorable Committee of the House of Lords I would not have stuck to have made mention of what came within my knowledge as I am ready to do and maintain what is here adjoyning set forth in my manifest may I but be allowed the true liberty of a Subject I come not in as an Informer but to pay my Loyalty without pretence of Benefice or Promotion Honor enough I have the mark of which I carry at my Breast for which I have His Majesties of Blessed Memory's Commission to carry wear in any colour Blue Green or Black in the later I do not having never been guilty of any action of the colour for the sins of my Youth I have for which I ask God only pardon As

deserved it that Royal Prince of the Blood his Highness Prince Rupert I am confident vvill please to remember as unto this vvhat I say in my manifest his Highness being the Person that introduced me unto his Majesty upon the top of Edge-hill vvhere his Majesty did then honor me vvith the title of Knight-hood Thousands of Prints are cryed up and down but they will n●t as I do subscribe their names to their Prints to justifie in Justification of their malignity as I do of my Loyalty In this my Manifest may be read part of Sir Robert Walsh his life carriage actions and sufferances Enemies enviously and ungroundedly he hath had who now are disbanded into the other world yet if any particular man carry any animosities against him he knowing not of any ground or Subject he hath given

would have proved of use but some ill advisers who perhaps were here concerned or that carried an animosity against your Petitioner did so deturn that his Representments could not gain Credit else undoubtedly he would so have furnished against the French King which would put water into his Wine and have clipt his Wings here annexed you read what your Petitioner could draw or gather out of him which he Represented where his Allegiance and duty did bind him to have done and withal one of Mr. Progers his Letters your Petitioner in order thereunto comes into England being of the first if not the first who gave Lights and Intelligence of ill designs and of a subversion intended towards the Government and Laws of this Kingdom so as your Petitioner could have no sinister intention Though this Edmund Everard did most pernitiously and falsly say before this Honorable House that your Petitioner in Paris did precaution the Talbots from trusting this Everard so as the malice of this Everard might have scandalously abused your Petitioner who is ready and willing to answer before this Honorable House disclaiming in any grace or favor if any disloyalty could or can be laid to his charge your Petitioner could look for no other but revenge from this Everard for your Petitioner being the Person that procured Everards Imprisonment in the Tower an action this Honorable House would have allowed of did they but know upon what occasion and grounds and how I was and am ready to maintain my acting therein the Anixels some Years past were shewed unto some of the members of the Honorable House to the Lord Cavendish Sir John Coryton Sir Francis Winnington and Sir John Earnly many others your Petitioner humbly prayeth that any of the members of this Honorable House may be ordered to see what your Petitioner can show as to hear what he hath to say for the good and interests of His Majesty and that of his good Subjects and that in as much as that your Petitioner came into England of purpose for the service and interest as afore-said that according to the Report made by those Commissions your Petitioner may find the effects of your Justice and he shall Pray c. I. My Representments were given the Ministers of State in the Year 1675. 1676. These are what Representments attended my Petition that Sir John Coriton put into the hands of Master Speaker Sir Robert in the Year 1675. brought with him out of France the person mentioned in his Petition first he would have made Evident that there was then of His Majesties Subjects a Caball in France who were very active and busie being thereunto much incouraged by a great Person to ingender great tumults and disturbances in His Most Excellent Majesties Kingdoms who would have put into His Majesties Hands some Letters from their Correspondence writ from hence unto the said Cabal in Paris and some of theirs from Paris into their associates here and would have declared how they were introduced unto the French King and his reception of them II. He would have discovered that some persons in England were gained by the French King and his Ministers to be of Intelligence with them so as that thereby the French might have given the better conduct unto their transactions with the English and that he would nominate some of those of His Majesties Subjects who were so gained by the French King and Ministers III. He would have made it apparent that the great Preparations that the French King made for War did bend to bring the States of Holland to His Majesties Bent which if he did not by force of Arms compass he was sure to do when he pleased to afford them plauseable Terms which-depended on His Majesty to do when ever he pleased and that once getting in the states of Holland the Confederates would soon come to tearms and that once coming so the French King taking Breath would soon imploy His Army Elsewhere as this man would more particularly and probably into His Majesties Kingdoms declare here had our Ministers of state given him a hearing but he being not heard went very unsatisfied for Holland where certainly he was listened unto and gave great lights to the states as unto the conduct of their Treaty and accommodation with France This man was not wanting in money I may say he was very well to the contrary but disatisfied in France and being very knowing in the French concerns he would thereby increase his Fortune IV. I could examplifie much upon what this man could have done but as the times go it 's more convenient not when I could not be countenanced in gaining credit for this-mans representments I made them no Jewels I communicating them unto many and so were they by others to the French King and his Ministers from hence so as if I went now for France my reception would be but cold I having I may with Justice say that I was the first that first gave notice of these intended revolutions and disturbances though I never hitherto did name the persons who were first set on work to contribute unto the raising these Tumults however I am not unsatisfied to have contributed by my endeavors towards the payment of my duty unto my Loyalty and though the returns I meet with are leading to deturn in the future such as may not resolve to continue in the Principals of Loyalty which I do and ever shall which time may give an undeniable demonstration of Two things I may aver the first is that I have no fear second that I am not by any means discouraged in persisting to do my Kings service as willingly as ever V. I have been an eye-witness and active in the War of 1639. until 1646. Therefore I may give now I am in some accounts in the said War when the said War began as my Fare hath rendered me subject unto Imprisonments I was then so and for the sins and debts of my youth Prisoner in the King Bench. His Glorious Majesty of Blessed Memory and her Majesty then quitted London which I wish they never had I was then Her Majesties Sworn Servant and but in extraordinary I petitioned to the House of Lords that I might be set at liberty as a priviledge that did belong unto Her Majesties Servants unto which the Lords consented and an Order was made for my Liberty which still stands upon record in the House of Lords and I then set at Liberty It was no mean thought or concern that invited Edward Earl of Dorset the Lord Chamberlain to Her Majesty who was a Lord in deed to uphold the priviledges belonging to Her Majesty he was my Advocate nay Solliciter in my behalf and stuck to me not by saying I will do you all the Service that lyes in my power but in the performance to act what he said or promised I was by the Order of the House of Lords discharged from Prison yet in the year 61 returning into England was
