Act for securing the Protestant Religion by disabling James D. of York to inherit the Imperiall Crowns of England and Ireland and the Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging and the Lord Russel was order'd to carry it up to the Lords for their Concurrence Friday the Twelfth of November some time was spent in reading the Engrossed Bill sent up on the Wednesday before from the Lords for freeing the City and Court c. from Popish Inhabitants c. Of which and of others no farther proceeded in it is enough to speak of their transmitment from one House to another as being such as dy'd among the rest in the Birth After this and some Amendments made of the Returns for the Burrough of Haslemere in Surrey Mr. Bourk Mr. Macnamarr and Eustace Comine being severally called in gave their several Accompts of some proceedings relating to the Popish Plot in Ireland Of their Informations I shall briefly recite the Heads in their Order That of Mr. Bourk was briefly thus That being by the Kindness of one Major Butler admitted to the knowledg of the Earl of Tyrone and by that means frequently keeping his Lordship Company in his pastimes both at home and abroad he observ'd that the said Earl and the Major would be allway extrolling the French King and praying for his Prosperitie That he farther observed a Continual resort of Papists and Suspitious Persons to the said Earls House That being one Morning private with his Lordship his Lordship told him That he had intelligence out of France that the French were very Powerful and that Parlez Francois would be plentifully heard in Ireland ere long That in farther discourse his Lordship drew out of his Pocket a great Quantitie of Papers rol'd up and delivered him to subscribe his name in one of them and that upon a sudden Glance he could read the names of some that he knew to be persons ill affected to his Majesty and his Government That upon his refusal to Subscribe his Lordship calld him Cowar'd and drew his Sword half out of his Scabbard to have kill'd him but was prevented by the unexpected coming in of another Gentleman That from that time forward his Lordship us'd several means to Ruine him and threw him into Waterford Gaol From whence he wrote five Letters to the Lord Lieutenant of his hard Vsage and what he had to say as to the Conspiracy but could have no Answer That being got out of Waterford Gaol he gave in his Informations against the said Earl at Dublin where though his Lordship were bound over to answer the Informant at Waterford Assizes yet such was his power over the Judges and the Jury that he easily got himself acquitted So that finding Ireland then too hot for him the Informant was forc'd to retire into England to make his Appeale The heads of Macnamar's Information were these That one William Bradley Esq a Justice of the Peace in the County of waterford having first made him take an Oath of Secrecie gave him to understand that the Earle of Tyrone had received a Commission from the French King to be a Colonel of Horse in the County of Waterford and that the said Bradley was to be his Lieutenant Col. and therefore desir'd him to provide himselfe of Horse and Arms and get as many as he could trust promising him a Captains Place That after Bradley had unfolded to him the aforesaid Treason he met with the E. of Tyrone who ask'd him privately whether Bradley had said any thing to him who answering he had the E. bid him be very private and then shewed him a List of several that were to be Superiour Officers in several Counties of Ireland which he took special notice of as knowing several of the Persons That the said E. at the same time told him that he had a Commission from the French King under his Hand and Seal to be a Col. of Horse in the County of Waterford and that there was hardly a County in Ireland where Persons were not appointed by the French King for the same purpose with other discourse of the same Nature The Substance of Eustace Comins Information was this That living with one Keadagh Magher his Relation in Karignisurie in the County of Tipperary Treasurer for the Confederates in Ireland he was privy to the Payment of several Considerable Sums to several Considerable Persons upon the accompt of the Plot by the directions of Plunket titular Primate of Ireland Bremand Titular Archbishop of Cashel and Powes Deane of Waterford who had the disposal of the said Money That there was a meeting of the Irish Clergy with the Titular Primate at John Walshe's House who was Lawyer for the D. of Ormond in the County of Tipperary where they agreed to give every Judge that would goe the Circuite and befriend them upon Occasion 200 l. a piece That the Sum of 200 l. was secur'd to Sir John Davis upon the same accompt he being then a Judge at Clonmel of which he was an Eye Witness Lastly after the recital of many other Circumstances of his being pursu'd and imprison'd by Sir John Davis and several other Justices of the Peace Contrary to their duty for his discovery he affirmed that the Papists had Barbarously Murther'd the said Keadagh Magher their Treasurer when they found that he detested their design and was turned Protestant The House having heard these Informations order'd that an Address should be made to his Majesty for their several Pardons and that his Majesty would be pleas'd to take them into his care and protection After this a Message was sent to the Lords to acquaint them with the Resolution of the House to proceed to the Tryal of the Lords in the Tower and that they intended to begin with William Viscount Stafford and therefore desired their Lordships to appoint a day as also that the Lords in the Tower might be confin'd and kept from a Correspondence one with another as Persons Impeached and Committed for high Treason ought to be To which the Lords return'd for answer That as to that part of the Message relating to Confinement and Correspondence they had already given Order therein as the House had desired and for the latter for appointing a day for the Tryal they did appoint Tuesday come fortnight Thereupon they order'd a farther Address to be made to his Majesty That all Papers Writings Examinations and Evidences relating to the Popish Plot which had been deliver'd to the Clerks of the Council or the Secretaries since the dissolution of the last Parliament should be transmitted to the House and order'd that Serjeant Maynard Mr. George Pelham and Mr. Paul Foly should be added to the Committee appointed to prepare Evidence against the Lords in the Tower They likewise order'd That another Address should be made to his Majesty That he would be pleased to give orders for Issuing out a Sum of Money to defray the Charges of Summoning the Witnesses and other Expences incident to the

whereas the Sum of Five hundred Eighty four thousand nine hundred seventy eight Pounds two shillings two pence was rais'd by Act of Parliament for the speedy building Thirty Ships of War and thereby appropriated to that use and whereas it was Provided by the said Act That the Treasurer of the Navy should keep the said Money apart and pay it forth to no other use or intent but only for the building and Rigging of the said Thirty Ships Yet that he contrary to the said Act and his duty did lend the sum of 90000 l. Parcel of the said Mony at Eight percent for the support and continuance of an Army that then ought to have been disbanded by Act of Parliament whereby two Acts were Eluded and the Army Continu'd to the great hazard and danger of the Peace and Safety of the Nation Secondly That whereas the Pole-mony was rais'd by Act of Parliament to enable his Majesty to enter into an Actual War against the French King and only for that use And whereas certain Eastland Merchants did undertake to furnish his Majesties Stores upon assurance of Forty thousand pounds parcel of the said Mony deposited in the hands of the said Mr. Seymour as was by him acknowledged yet that he the said Mr. Seymour pay'd away the said Forty thousand pounds to the Victuallers of the Navy by way of advance and for Provisions not brought in Whereas by the Provision of the Act the said Money should have been paid to the said East-land Merchants Thirdly That norwithstanding he had 3000 l. a year for attending the Office of Treasurer yet that out of the Money appointed for secret service he received 3000 l. a year more which was duly paid him as well during the Sessions as during the Intervals of Parliament and particularly during the Prorogation of Fifteen Months Fourthly That on or about the Eighteenth year of his Majesties Reign during the Dutch War the said Ed. Seymour being one of the Commissioners of Prize Goods did fraudulently and in deceit of his Maiesty unlade a certain prize Ship taken from the Dutch without any Authority for so doing and sell the Goods pretending them to be only Muscovado Sugars And accompted with his Majesty for such whereas in truth the Ship was laden with Cocheneel and Indico goods of great value Saturday the Twenty seventh of November nothing was done to the advantage of this Compendium only that whereas the Commons had sent a Message to the Peers to desire them to appoint a Committee to joyn with a Committee of theirs for adjusting the Methods and Circumstances relating to the Tryals of the Lords in the Tower the Lords return'd their Answer this day That they had appointed a Committee of their Members in Complyance with the Message of the Commons to which purpose they had appointed five Lords to meet in the afternoon in the Court of Wards Where upon the Commons elected ten of their Members to meet the said Lords according to the appointment Monday November 29. nothing was done remarkable to our purpose In the afternoon according to appointment the House attended his Majesty in the Banquetting House where they presented him with their Address in Answer to his Message relating to Tangier to this Effect That having taken into their serious consideration his Majesties late Message relating to Tangier could not but accompt the present Condition of it after so vast a Treasure expended to make it useful not only as one Infelicity more added to the afflicted State of the Nation but as the result of those Counsels which had brought his Majesties Person and Kingdoms into those imminent Dangers which at present surrounded them that they were the less surpriz'd to hear of the Exigence of Tangier remembring that since it became a part of the English Dominions it had been several times commanded by Popish Governours in particular a Lord impeached and in the Tower for the Popish Plot and that the supplies sent thither consisted most of Popish Officers and Soldiers And therefore as to his Majesties recommendation of it to their Care they did with all Humility and reverence Answer That though in due time they should omit nothing incumbent upon them for preservation of every part of his Majesties Dominions yet when such a storm of Ruin and Confusion threatn'd the Land to come to any resolutions in that matter before they were secured from the dangers arising from the Power of Popish Persons and Councils they did not conceive would consist either with their duty or their Trust Then they dilated upon the restless endeavours of the Popish Party the miraculous discovery of their designs and their Continu'd influence at Court and the Arbitrary proceedings of corrupted Justice in the intervals of Parliament all which they represented at large to his Majesty And therefore out of their Allegiance to his Majesty their Zeal to Religion their faithfulness to their Country they had upon mature deliberation propos'd one Remedy of those great Evils without which all others would prove vain and fruitless So that if after all the Private Suggestions of the accomplices of the Popish Party should yet prevail to obstruct their faithful Endeavours they should have this remaining Comfort to have freed themselves from the Guilt of that blood and desolation which is like to ensue But yet that their only hope next under God was in his Majesty that by his great wisdom and goodness they should be secur'd from Popery and all the Evils attending it and that none but Persons of known Fidelity to his Majesty and sincere affection to the Protestant Religion should be put into any employment Civil or Military that while they should give a Supply to Tangier they might be assur'd they did not augment the strength of the Popish adversary nor encrease the publick danger Which desires of theirs if his Majesty would vouchsafe to grant they would not only be ready to assist his Majesty in defence of Tangier but do whatsoever else should be in their power to enable his Majesty to protect the Protestant Religion both at home and abroad and to repel the attempts of his and the Kingdoms Enemies Fame What was the Answer which his Majesty was pleas'd to give to this Address Truth I find no mention of any in the accompt which the Commons gave of their own Transactions which makes me forbear to insert the Vulgar Reports And now between the next day which was the Thirtieth of November and the Eighth of December you must expect a vacancy of Parliamentary business both Houses being busied in the Tryal of the Lord Stafford from day to day till that time For though the House did sit in the Afternoons yet it was either to release Prisoners or hear Petitions which are things altogether out of our Diocess The Tryal began the Thirtieth of November 1680. and continu'd till the Seventeenth of December following The first day the Lord High Steward Heneage Lord Finch Lord High Chancelor of England

a declaration of their Resolution to preserve and support the Kings Person and Government and the Protesstant Religion both at home and abroad The next Morning Sir Francis Withens appearing in his Place according to the Order made the day before the Clark of the Peace for Westminster was order'd to attend the next Morning with the Roll of Orders for the last Easter Sessions for the City of Westminster Fame What could that signifie Truth Thou mayst be sure they knew what they did Fame I guess the business Truth Why then dost interrupt me with thy Impertinencies Fame Thou knowest I was always guilty of that fault and cannot help it but prithee now go on Truth Having thus done with Sir Francis for that time they took Sir Robert Yeoman's and Sir Robert Can a Member of the House to task for that they in October 1679 had publickly declared that there was no Plot but onely a Presbyterian Plot. The words were attested by Mr. Rowe the Sword-bearer of Bristol and Sir John Knight a Member of the House also To which Sir Robert Can being called upon by the House to make his defence said little for himself but onely flung several reflecting and reproachfull expressions upon Sir Robert Can. For which as for an offence against good Manners he was presently order'd to receive a Reprehension from the Speaker upon his knees Nor was this all for Sir Robert being now withdrawn the House proceeded to take the matters charg'd against him into farther Consideration and after some time of debate resolv'd that it did appear by the Evidence given to the House that Sir Robert Can was guilty of the words before mention'd and order'd him as a Member of the House to be expel'd the House and committed to the Tower Whereupon he was presently call'd to the Bar and received the Judgement of the House upon his knees from the Mouth of the Speaker As for Sir Robert Yeomans he not being in Town was order'd to be sent for in custody of the Serjeant attending the House The next day being the twenty ninth of October as they had been severe in punishing so they they began to think of rewarding and order'd that Dr. Tongue should be humbly recommended by the House to his Majesty for the first considerable Church-preferment that should become void in the Kingdom and that such of the Members as were of the Privy Council should represent the same to his Majesty The same day the Address for the preservation and support of his Majesties Person and Government being prepar'd and finish'd was read in the House to this Effect That they did with most thankful hearts acknowledge not only his Majesties many former Royal Declarations of his adherence to the Protestant Religion but his farther Manifestation of the same in his Gracious Speech to both Houses at the opening of the Parliament And therefore as the Eyes of all the Protestants abroad were upon them and that looking upon his Majesty as the Royal Head of so many Protestant Countries they could not but hope that his Majesty would be the greatest Protection to them from whom the Kingdom has Reason to expect a Mutual Assistance as being invovl'd in the same Danger They did humbly assure his Majesty that they would be always ready to preserve his Majesties Person and Government and to support the Protestant Religion both at home and abroad Beseeching his Majesty to esteem those that should otherwise represent them to his Majesty as such who design'd to divide between the King and his People and defeat the meeting of Parliaments that the Popish designs might succeed Which has been made Evident by the Contrivance of a wicked design to transfer the Guilt of their own Crimes upon his Majesties Loyal Protestant Nobility and Gentry This Address being read and consented to by the whole House they proceeded to the business of Sir Francis Withens and to that purpose examin'd several Witnesses at the Bar. At length it appearing not onely by the Evidence but by the Confession of Sir Francis hmself that he had presented an Address to his Majesty expressing an abhorrency to Petition for the calling and sitting of Parliaments it was Resolv'd That he had betray'd the undoubted Rights of the Subjects of England And Sir Francis was order'd to be expell'd the House and received his Sentence upon his knees accordingly Saturday the thirtieth of October concluded the Parliamentary Transactions of this Month and little occurr'd but that Mr. Secretary Jenkins acquainted the House that his Majesty being attended by such of the Members as were of the Privy Council with the Address relating to Dr. Tongue was pleas'd to answer That he had already taken care of him and would also take him into his farther Consideration Then it was also that the Votes of the House were first order'd to be Printed being first perus'd and sign'd by the Speaker who had likewise Power to Nominate and appoint the Persons that were to Print the same The same day also Francisco de Feria deliver'd his Evidence at the Bar of the House concerning the Plot the Effect whereof in short was That being preferr'd to be Interpreter and Secretary of Languages to the Lord Gaspar Abrew de Freitas Embassador in Ordinary for the Prince of Portugal to the King of England That being in great Favour with the said Embassador he the said Embassador did entrust him with several of his Secrets and that at the Tryal of the five Jesuites being then private with his Lord the Embassador expresed much sorrow for the Oppression of the Catholicks and wish'd that Oates and Bedlow were made away and then told him that he might doe the Catholick cause great Service and might make his own Fortune if he would joyn in destroying Oates and Bedlow That 50000 Reales d' Ocho should be given for that piece of Service and that two sufficient Persons should be joyn'd with him to kill the said Oates and Bedlow That afterwards understanding that Bedlow was not dead in Ireland as had been reported the said Embassador renew'd his Sollicitations to him to kill Oates and Bedlow promising to make good the said sum of Money to him to pay his Debts and carry him into Portugal That the said Embassador tempted him to kill the Earl of Shaftsbury by throwing a hand-Granado into his Coach as he was travelling upon the Road into the Country That after the acquittal of Sir George he was sent to the said Sir George to tell him from the Embassador That his Fortune and Estate were all at his Service and so was his Princes That the Catholicks were all bound to pray for Sir Philip Floyd for his Generosity To which Sir George reply'd That had it not been for him he had not been sav'd That after the Tryal was over the Embassador went to visit the Lord C. J. Schroggs in his Sedan with his Coach of State That the Complement was in Portugueze interpreted by himself to this Effect My Lord

prosecution of the said Lords And farther that Such Money as his Majesty should be pleas'd to direct to be set out for the use aforesaid should be deposited in the hands of Mr. Charles Clare Fame All this while you do not 〈◊〉 me how the Lords receiv'd the Bill of Exclusion Truth All in good Time For it was impossible for me to interrupt the Series of the foregoing Orders that depended one upon another You must know then in short that this Bill as it was of great weight so it occasioned a long debate in the House But at length when it came to the Vote it was utterly rejected by the Number of Voices there being no less then Sixty three against the passing of it and but Thirty one for it Saturday the Eleventh of November Mr. Secretary Jenkins acquainted the House with his Majesties Answere to several of their Late Addresses That as to the issuing out of Money for the Expences of the Tryals he had directed a hundred pound to be paid to the Person that should be appointed by the House to receive it That as for the delivery of the Papers writings and Evidences concerning the Plot upon the Sitting of the Committee of the Lords he had directed them to be transmitted thither where they remain'd And that as for the pardons for the Irish Evidence he would grant them all Pardons for all Treasons Misprisions of Treasons Felonies and outlaries for Felonies Fame All this while I heare nothing of the Address which was order'd to be made in answer to his Majesties Message of the Ninth of this Month. Truth All that I can say is that his Majesty appointed the House to meet him this very day at three of the Clock in the Banqueting House in order to that Address But because I find no farther mention made of it in the Votes of the House I made no farther Inquirie after it Fame Since then you have proposed so good a Rule to your self observe it Truth 'T is what I am bound to do if I intend to be what I profess my self To goe on then the next remarkable Passage of this day was the forgiving Sir Robert Yeomans who being called to the Bar acknowledg'd the Offence he had committed For which submission and his begging pardon he was only put to receive the rebuke of the House upon his knees and so discharg'd Mr. Norris was then call'd in who gave an Information in writing relating to the Popish Plot which occasion'd an Order for appointing a Committee to receive Informations concerning the Popish Plot to which Committee it wa● also at the same time refer'd to examin● the matter of Mr. Norris's Information and to report the same of which more hereafter Mr. Trenchard then reported from the Committee to which the Petition o● divers Citizens of London against Sir George Jefferies was referred That the Committee had heard the Evidence on both sides and that it was the Opinion of the Committee upon the Evidence given them that the said Sir George Jefferies by traducing and Obstructing Petitioning for the sitting of the Parliament had betrayed the Rights of the Subjects Upon which it was resolv'd that the House did agree with the Committee and order'd an Address to be presented to his Majesty for removing Sir George Jefferies out of all publick Offices and that the Members serving for the City should Communicate the Vote and Resolution of the House relating to Sir George Jefferies to the Court of Aldermen The Address was to this effect That haveing receiv'd a Complaint against Sir George Jefferies and having heard the Evidence against him and his defence and being satisfi'd that the said Sir George to serve his own ends to create a misunderstanding between his Majesty and his People did declare the Petitioning of the Citizens of London for the Sitting of the Parliament to be Tumultuous Seditious and Illegal and threaten that if they did so Petition there should be no meeting nor sitting of the Parliament thereby traducing his Majesty as if he meant not to pursue his gracious intentions they did therefore most humbly beseech his Majesty to remove the said Sir George from the Chief Justiceship of Chester and from all other his publick Offices and Employments They likewise appointed a Committee to enquire into all such Persons as had been advising or promoting the Proclamation Entituled a Proclamation against Tumultuary Petitioning empowering them to that purpose to send for Persons Papers and Records Monday the Fifteenth of November Mr. Secretary Jenkins deliver'd a short Message in writing from his Majesty Intimating That his Majesty had at the opening of the Sessions in his speech desired the advice and Assistance of his Parliament in Relation to Tangeir The Condition and importance of which place oblidg'd him to put them againe in mind that he rely'd upon them for the support of it Without which it could not be much longer preserved And therefore earnestly recommended Tangeir to the due and speedy care and consideration of the House This Message being read and some other debates being over Mr. Dugdale was call'd in and gave his farther Information relating to the Popish Plot in writing The most considerable heads whereof were these That about the Twenty first of September 1678. He being in Company with Mr. Ewers and one Hosbon amongst other discourse they both declar'd That their design in carrying on the Plot was to kill the D. of Monmouth as well as the King which horrid Acts the Lord Stafford at the same time propos'd for him to do That in a Letter directed to Mr. Ewers which he brake open and found to be the Lord Staffords hand he read the following words That things went well beyond the Seas for Carrying on the Plot and hop'd it did so here in England And that for the pardoning of those that were concern'd therein Mr. Ewers told him that there were several Indulgences which he believed came from Ireland to whom they were transmitted from Rome That he very well remember'd that there was a meeting of the Jesuites in April 1678. for that Mr. Ewers and other Jesuits went out of Staffordshire up to London to be there at it That several Sums of Money were collected from several Gentlemen in the Countrey to carry on the design and that he himself received 500 l. of Mr. Vavasour and Mr. Gawen at Wolverhampton which he return'd up to Mr. Harcourt That at another time Mr. Ireland told him that when he came to London he would give him Instructions how to proceed in his business for that he could not well tell how the business went till he had spoken with the Lords Bellasis and Arundel af Warder who would prove the Loyallest persons for Trust and Counsel in the world That at another time questioning Mr. Ewers what Persons of Quality did countenance the design He made answer Several in several Places and that the Lord Arundel of Warder was to undertake the most part of the design
