in that very place of His Recess His Majesty was much Surpriz'd to hear of a Danger that by reason of his Native Innocency and Goodness he needed not to have feared but graciously accepting at the hands of his Loyal Subject this seasonable Notice was pleased thereupon to Order him together with Dr. Tongue to wait upon Him that Evening at White-hall with the Informations which they accordingly did delivering to him an Information consisting of Forty three Articles drawn up by Dr. Oates the Origional of which this being but a Coppy he kept in his own hands His Majesty graciously received the Papers but being to go the next Morning to Windsor was pleased to order them to be left in the hands of a great Lord and Eminent Minister of State whom His Majesty would intrust as well for the safety of them as his Secrecie in the Affair and accordingly they were left with him and several Attendances were spent upon his Lordship in order to acquaint him with other Matters relating to the Concern In the mean while Dr. Oates discovered himself to Collonel Kirby who had not had all this time any acquaintance with him and gave him in some further Information as namely of the coming to Town of the Provincial Whitebread Bedingfield a Jesuite and others of that Gang and that they having by some means got intimation of this Discovery had him in Suspition for it And had design'd to prevent his Progress therein by making him away this they thought in their devilish Policy the likeliest way to forward their Designs by first removing such Persons out of the way as should be likely to be Instrumental in the intended Discovery This they then attempted against Dr. Oates and this they afterwards Executed upon the worthy Sir Edmund-Bury who was not so lucky to escape their Murderous Hands as he was For the Doctor more than mistrusting their Designes against him had the good luck to avoid the brunt of their Revenge against him by a timely flight the particulars of which he related to Dr. Tongue and that now having thus got himself loosed from his Treasonable Company he was resolved to cast himself upon the Mercy and Protection of his Majesty which Resolution of his Dr. Tongue very well approved and till such time as they could meet with a convenient opportunity of accomplishing it did kindly invite him to continue with him as a good place of Safety and Retirement to him at his Lodgings at Fox-hall During which time Dr. Oates wrote over fair Copies of his Informations and upon the King 's Return to White-hall Notice was one day given to Dr. Tongue and Collonel Kirby That it was his Majesties Pleasure that they two should Attend him the next Morning in Councel to be Examined before that great Presence about the Particulars of their Informations In Order to which it was necessary that their several Copies should be Sworn to to render them the more Authentick when they should be delivered into the Councel And Sir Edmund-Bury as a Person of known Loyalty to his King and Country was the Magistrate whom they chose to be Sworn by and to intrust with this great Secret A Loyal but unhappy piece of Service to this poor Gentleman who having with Horror and Astonishment perused the said Informations and taken their Oaths of the truth of them which they Swore to before him would needs desire a Copy of them to be left with him that he might in his own Loyal and Judicious thoughts take them upon an after view into a more serious consideration and so be the better inabled to Act in that Province he was in if need should be for the prevention of the growing mischief Little dreaming Dear Soul at that time that his Loyal Intentions therein should expose him to that Malice of his Enemies who too well knew the honesty and integrity of his mind not to be concern'd at it that should be the occasion of his Death the sad and doleful Narrative of which as it was by this means occasioned we shall presently give you The Two Informants having thus sworn to their Informations went with them before the King and Councel who afterwards sent for Dr. Oates and they were all Three severally Examined before them and their Services herein so well accepted that to secure them from the Malice of their Enemies His Majesty out of his Native clemency and goodness was graciously pleased to take Dr. Tongue and Dr. Oates into his Royal Protection and to order them Lodgings in his Pallace at White-hall The Plotters that had Spies in every Corner to observe the progress of their Designs and the successes of them were now strangely surprized that the scent was taken and that we were already in pursuit of the game before they were aware of it They dreaded the Rumour of it more then any particular Informations They knew that Information had been given in and Sworn to They knew who it was that gave them their Oaths and that he had Copies of the Informations They knew so Loyal a Person so True a Protestant would be more then a Speculative or idle Observator upon such Treasonable Subjects they knew his Place they knew his Parts they knew his Power they knew his Interest at Court his free access to the King his esteem amongst the People and were not ignorant how able how ready he might be to improve all these advantages to the ruine of their Designes They knew his Integrity that there was no hopes of corrupting him and therefore resolved to destroy him that by such an Execrable instance of their Revengeful temper they might deter all other Loyal Magistrates from intermedling with their Affairs and to render their Arcana inferna Sacred against all such intermedlings by the danger of their Revenges His Murther now is fully resov'd upon and several persons imployed to effect it The Persons principally concerned were Father Girald and Father Kelly two Irish Priests Robert Green Cushion-man to the Queens Chappel Laurence Hill Servant to Dr. Godden Treasurer of the said Chappel Henry Berry Porter of Somerset House Mr. Miles Prance a Goldsmith in Covent-Garden and Captain William Bedloe who though he was not an actor in the Design yet was made privy to it and afterwards made his discovery of it besides there were others that were likewise privy to it as namely one Lawson a Priest and Phillip Vernatti belonging to the Lord Bellasis who afterwards fled Prichard Le Fair Welch Kains and others these last Five being all Jesuits Vernatti and the Priests were the Persons it is believed that first undertook the Design and then drew in first Green Hill and Berry the actual Murtherers and afterwards Mr. Prance to engage with them in this Hellish Conjuration The Scene of the contrivance was the Plough-Ale-house near the Water-gate by Somerset-house the time upon a Sunday after Evening-prayer when the said Preists coming from the Chappel met with Mr. Prance there
