And altho' this Informant just as he and his said Father were so brought to , and going into the said Gaol , did employ an English man , a person living in Loughrea , and gave him money , and lent him this Informants Horse , to convey or carry a Letter from this Informant and his said Father to Galloway , but Fourteen Miles from Loughrea ; yet within an hour or two after , fearing the Earl of Clanrickard's displeasure , being ( as this Informant hath great cause to believe ) charged by some or other of the Earls Agents or Tenants there , at his Perril , as he told me , not to convey or carry the said Letter , did return this Informant his money again , and said , that the said Constable , Christopher Poor by name , and a Popish Constable in Loughrea , told him , the said person , that if he should carry the said Letter , or any other ways appear to do any thing for this Informant or his said Father , that the said Earl of Clanrickard would ruin him and his Family : And the better to colour the said malicious and injurious prosecutions against this Informant and his said Father , several persons by such instigations and prevalencies as aforesaid , were procured to report , that this Informant's said Father had a design to burn the said Town of Loughrea ; and that besides the said Information against this Informant and his said Father for such their travelling , as aforesaid , on the Sabbath-day , there would be seven or eight other Indictments preferred and prosecuted against them , at the then Galloway Assizes : and in such Condition this Informant and his said Father lay in the said Goal or Prison in Loughrea , aforesaid , for some considerable time , and perhaps might there have layn ( if not destroy'd or famish't before by their cruel usages ) had not this Informant , through a Window of the said Prison , accidentally seeing a stranger riding by , conveyed to him a Letter , directed to some friends of theirs , then living in Galloway , where , by such means , the said Letter was received , and understanding thereby such the sad Condition of this Informant and his said Father , their said friends did presently make application to the Judges of the Assizes , then sitting there at Galloway , and of them obtained an Order for the removal of this Informant and his said Father thither .

  A full and final proof of the plot from the Revelations whereby the testimony of Dr. Titus Oates and Mr. Will. Bedloe is demonstrated to be jure divino, and all colours and pretences taken away that might hinder the obstinate from assenting to the truth and sincerity of their evidence : dedicated to all Roman-Catholicks and infidels / by E.C., Doctor of the civil law.

summary:
  I hope to obtain my end here , whatever ill success I meet with from you ; it being the only way I can propose to secure us from the effect of a Plot ; for 't is well known , after your Conspiracies are discovered , your first Artifice is to insinuate an opinion of your Innocence , and then to induce Men to argue against , and question Circumstances , by your Arts adulterated and made contradictory , and lastly , to drill them on to a disbelief of all ; than which nothing can he more menacing the safety of the Government ; your Interest hereby being unshaken , and a Liberty given of entring into new Cabals , and of acting as with more security , so with more power and strength . And I must confess , you have hit upon right Measures , this is infallibly the most expedite and successful manner of promoting Religion that can be ; that of Reason and Argument is very teadious , and People are won but slowly by it ; in this Case , if you meet with a Man tough and tenacious of his own Sense , 't is but cutting his Throat , and the Work is done ; for 't is in effect gaining a Proselyte by destroying a Heretick .

  London's flames being an exact and impartial account of divers informations given in to the committee of Parliament, by divers members of Parliament, and many other persons of quality (whose names are inserted in this book) concerning the dreadful fire of London in the year 1666, and the many other strange fires which have happened since : together with what was said by M. Langhorn, now a prisoner, and condemned for the horrid Popish Plot, concerning the great fire : wherein is plainly proved, that the papists were the contrivers and actors in the burning of that great and noble city.

summary:
  To which he answered ; I know not whether it be the hottest for Weather or Action : The said Yaxley , coming to the same House , the week after the Fire , Mr. Kitely said to him with some trouble ; I have often thought upon your hot Thursday , To which she replyed , It was not indeed upon the Thursday but it hapned upon the Sunday come sevennnigt after ; Mr. Yaxley bearing these Evidences produced against her , prompted her to avoid the words , saying , that upon the 13th of August , she did tell Mr. Kitely , That they say next Thursday , will be the darkest Thursday , that ever was in England , but not otherwise ; Which she affirms to have received from one Fynchman . Mr. Freeman of Southwark Brewer , whose House there was lately burned , informs , that the same day his House was fired , about a quarter of an hour before three , was found a paper with a Ball of Wild-fire , containing near a pound wrap'd up in it , in the nave of a wheel , in an outer house , where lay a great quantity of Timber ; how this house was fired he knoweth not ; but this he affirms to the Committee , it could not be by accident , because there had not been any Candle or Fire in the House where the Hay lay , that whole day ; and the Hay being laid up before Midsummer very dry , it could not possibly be set on fire within it self ; and moreover , he said , the Hay-loft was on fire on the top of the House , and that the Fire spread from one end of the Roof to the other in an instant . Mr. Richard Harwood saith , That he being near the Feathers Tavern by St. Pauls , on the fourth of September , something like Wild-fire by the sparkling and spitting of it , appeared , whereof he gave notice to some Souldiers there , who caused it to be quenched .

  The reasons & narrative of proceedings betwixt the two Houses which were delivered by the House of Commons to the Lords at the conference touching the tryal of the Lords in the Tower on Monday the 26th of May 1679.

summary:
  Whereupon , your Lordships having appointed the Trial of the said Earl to be before that of the other Five Lords , Now your Lordships having since inverted that Order , gives a great cause of doubt to the House of Commons , and raises a jealousie in the Hearts of all the Commons of England , that , if they should proceed to the Tryal of the said Five Lords in the first place , not onely Justice will be obstructed in the Case of those Lords , but that they shall never have right done them in the matter of this Plea of Pardon ; which is of so fatal consequence to the whole Kingdome , and a new device to frustrate publick Justice in Parliament . Which Reasons and Matters being duely weighed by your Lordships ; the Commons doubt not but your Lordships will receive satisfaction concerning their Propositions and Proceedings : And will agree , That the Commons ought not , nor can , without deserting their Trust , depart from their former Vote communicated to your Lordships ; That the Lords Spiritual ought not to have any Vote in any proceedings against the Lords in the Tower ; and when that matter shall be setled , and the Methods of Proceedings adjusted the Commons shall then be ready to proceed upon the Tryal of the Earls of Danby , ( against whom they have already demanded Judgment ) and afterwards to the Tryal of the other Five Lords in the Tower. Wherein , stating the several parts of this regulated Monarchy , he says : The King , the House of Lords , and the House of Commons , have each particular Priviledges : And among those which belong to the King , he reckons power of Pardoning .

  Vituli labiorum. Or, A thanksgiving sermon, in commemoration of our great deliverance from the horrid Powder-Plot, 1605 And also of Gods merciful discovery of a bloody conspiracy against His Majesties Person, and the Protestant religion, 1678. Both intended by the papists. Preached at St. Peter's, Exon, Nov. 5. 1678. In prosecution whereof the Churches persecutions, foreign and domestick, by the hands of popish votaries, ever since the Reformation, are briefly recapitulated. Their charge of novelty on our church and religion is retorted. The absurdity of many of their doctrines and principles, and how destructive unto civil government, is detected. By John Reynolds, M.A.

summary:
  So that whatsoever enemies think effectually to prevail against the Israel or Church of God , must first make account to cancel all the Promises that are given for Israels security ; he must first overcome God himself , his Power , his Wisdom , and all his other Attributes concerned for his People ; he must subdue the Captain of our Salvation , storm Heaven , and put all the glorious Host of those Guardians of the Saints there to the rout , before he can perfectly and fully prevail against Gods Israel . I cannot really admit any diminutive account of your goodness to my self , otherwise than by considering you in that larger sphere which God hath placed you in , as a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 , a common good to your Country ; of which for me to say any thing , would be altogether unnecessary , forasmuch as there are every day so many mouths open to acknowledg it .

  And that it is not so , whatever they pretend , is evident from their own Constitutions n , where the Title of one Chapter is , that the Constitutions do not bring any under an obligation to sin ; but how little it answers that Title , any one that reads the Chapter may perceive ; for it's the●e said , that it seems to us — that no Constitutions , &c. can bring under an obligation to mortal or venial sin , unless the Superior in the name of Christ , or in the virtue of obedience should command it : and then that may be done in the cases so judged of , which tends much to a private or universal good . ‖ If a Confessor that hath heard another man's Confession should be demanded , whether such an one had confessed such a sin unto him or not , he may not only say I know not , but answer directly , that he hath not confessed any such thing unto him , albeit he had so done ; and that the said Confessor may not only say , but swear also this answer of his , understanding and reserving in his mind , that the Penitent hath not confessed unto him so as he may utter it , &c.

  A narrative of the proceedings and tryal of Mr. Francis Johnson, a Franciscan, at Worcester last summer-assizes Anno Dom. 1679 written with his own hand as followeth.

summary:
  For , before I or any man else can understand the Contents of these Oaths to be true , as to call God to witness that I believe them to be as true , just and righteous , I must be able to desine what is Faith or Heresie in these Contents I swear to , and I must know the full extent of all cases of this nature that God has left to all Temporal Princes and their Power ; I must also understand the full extent of all cases of this nature of power spiritual which God hath left in his Church in or over Christian Kingdoms of Temporal Monarchs , which power in these Oaths I am to swear on the one side , and forswearing the other . To this my Answer to my Lord was , That I had all my life time been so fearful of such rash Judgment , that I do declare it in the presence of God , as I did before him , that I had rather dye , than presume to pronounce the sentence of damnation against any man ; but I told his Lordship , that if he pleased to give me leave , I would relate what I had said to him , and others , upon the like occasion , which the Judge being willing to hear , I told him , that I being at this man's Mother-in-law's house , who was of no Religion , no more than this Witness , and the Mother desiring to hear what Catholicks held , and the reasons for which we believe such points of Faith , I told her what we held , and shewed her the proofs for what we held in her own Bible , and when she made any difficulty whether such texts of Scripture were to be understood as we understood them , or in any other sense , I shewed her out of the Protestant Practice of Piety , and out of the Protestant Common Prayer-Book , that not only Catholicks ▪ but all Protestants understood them in such a sense ; and she having those Books by her , I turned those places to her to read in her own Books , and so she did , and yet neither the Bible , nor Common Prayer-Books , nor Practice of Piety , could satisfie , or make her believe ; whereupon I told her , that if she were a Christian , she must believe something ; for , as she believed , so she should be saved : — I told her also what the Bible declared to her , That without Faith it was impossible to please God , and I bad her consider the text that saith , Whatsoever is not of Faith is sin ; as also the text that saith , The just man liveth by Faith , and desired her to read those words of our Saviour , where he saith , He that believeth shall be saved , but he that believeth not shall be damned ; which she did read ; and this Witness being then present , and I saying the same then before him , I suppose , from this text , he accused me that I should say , he would be damned , because I repeated , and shewed them our Saviour's words , as they appear in that place of Scripture .

  An additional discovery of Mr. Roger L'Estrange his further discovery of the Popish plot wherein Dr. Titus Oates and the rest of the King's evidences are vindicated from the aspersions cast upon them in that pamphlet : together with some new observations upon the said discovery not heretofore publisht / in a letter to Dr. Titus Oates by B.W.

summary:
  against the King , Government and Religion ; but what question or distinction this Author will make , we shall see anon , for there is his Diana ; but that you Doctor , or any other of the King's Witnesses in this case have in the least occasioned such a question , is not in my apprehension to be deduced from any of your Evidences , and I believe that no man that hath ever heard , read of , or seen the Arts of those Persons charged with that horrid Plot in any of their Massacres , either at home or abroad , that ever they made any distinction of Persons that were Dissenters from themselves in Doctrine or Practice : From what can it be imagined they would have done it by , or in this Plot , or that they did so intend by it , only to cut off the Members of the Church of England , and leave the Dissenters from them , or only cut off the Dissenters , and leave the Members of the Church of England , there is no shadow of colour for it , and it 's fully proved by you to be intended general to all Dissentets from the Church of Rome . But if any one did so he was to blame , and was I suppose as much under a mistake as the Author is in his Pamphlet , and the Subject matter of it ; for I take it to be undoubred , that the person or Power that may be petitioned to , hath a power of granting and denying : as for instance ; if a Party of his friends should in a petition to his Majesty set forth according to their apprehension , his merits by his Pamphlet and pray a reward for him , his Majesty might refuse it , and on the other hand if you , Doctor , and others by petition to his Majesty , should set forth how he hath traduced his Majesty , the Government and the Kings Witnesses in his said Pamphlet , and pray that the same , and he , might be left to the Law to be punished according to their demerits , the same might and would be granted ; but in regard he could not , or at least would not make a further Discovery of that Damnable and hellish Plot Discovered by you ; give me leave to tell you , if he could have been convinced by any other Evidence , or Testimony , than Dives and his brethren , how he might have done it , by publishing to the world , as the truth is , that the singer of God hath been in this Discovery of your's throughout ; for it cannot proved , be that you , Doctor , had the least advice or assistance of any one man , to guide or help you to contrive the way you took , and was to take , ( and that with eminent danger and vast hazard , and great difficulty ) for the making your self Master of this Discovery in less than a year .

  But can you pull the Sun out of Heaven , or toss about the Mountains ? Neither shall your Hell-gates prevail against the Church of Christ , to throw it down and lay it wast utterly , which is built upon the firmest Rock , and which that mighty Son of man , the Son of God , compasseth with his Arms. NO notice is given what was the particular occasion of the penning of this Psalm ; but we see in general it was some eminent deliverance ; which the Psalmist commemorates , acknowledging God to be the Author of it , and exciting Israel to bless his holy name for it .

summary:
  But there is no Astrologer ( of those I have seen ) whose Conjectures have come nearer the truth , than the Almanack Writer of Staden , who expresly compares the two Comets of 1664 and 65 , to two who give in their Evidence before a Judge , and the third to a publick Herald , proclaiming the Sentence given in upon the fore-going Evidence ; and therefore declares his Opinion , that within 24 months time the work of God will be manifested , by preparing the whole Roman and Turkish Empire for quite another War , then is now believed , which is to last till the next Age , and to run over the greatest part of the whole World , and that the end of it will be , the propagation of the Gospel in the East , and the return of the Christian Church to the place of its first rise . What I have said of you , the same may be said of the Turks , Persians , and Tartars , as well as of Nominal Christians ; because Turks and Persians , with others who are Strangers to the Name of Christ , if they heartily glorifie Christ by a Righteous Life towards God and their Neighbours , though they have no Explicite Knowledge of Christ , are notwithstanding partakers of him , and that in a nearer degree than our Nominal Christians , notwithstanding their Mahometanisme , which in time must be totally done away .

summary:
  Thirdly , it is not an effect of the Jealousie that reigns betwixt these two Houses , that Rome hath had opportunity to inspire them so strongly to contend mutually in making out whether of them were more zealous of the Worship of the Roman Faith ; so that contrary to all the most essential Rights of their States and Crowns , the former to preserve himself in the quality of the Catholick King , hath suffered the new Emissaries of the Papacy in less than one Age to invade many very good Inheritances ; so that the Church at this day enjoys near a third part of the Temporal Estate through the whole extent of that Monarchy , and the other to maintain the Quality of the most Christian King , though he hath seen two of his most Illustrious Predecessors assissinated by their Parricides or Ministers in a very short time , and the Laws of his Kingdom are repugnant to such Establishments ; yet nevertheless hath and doth still every day tollerate the same , so far that the Cities of France may be seen as well provided of Fortresses and Colonies of the Papacy under the names of Covents , Religious Houses , Colleges and Abbeys , as those of Spain and Italy , which may be called the Triumph of the Papal Policy , it being infallibly certain that in process of time , if God redress it not , The Successors of these Monarchies must by all the Rules of a Judicious Policy , together with their Subjects , become the Miserable Slaves of the Despotick Monarchy of the Papacy ? In the fifth place , as Rome hath the Art to subtilize all the advantages that it can draw from all Conjunctures , and as it embraceth nothing more readily in all its Projects , than any Design to destroy the Protestant Party , from their Heads , to the meanest member of them , that the poor Protestants of High Hungary might not escape this general Persecution ; was it not an effect of the opposition which rages betwixt those Houses , that Rome , being about to draw a cruel storm over the Protestants , the Emissaries of the Papacy had the craft to make his most Christian Majesty to understand , that there being none but his Imperial Majesty , who could vigorously traverse his Designs on Holland ; it was his Interest to give him Business in his own State , and that this could not be done by any probability otherwise , than by somenting the Revolt on the Coast of High Hungary , therefore he must of necessity purchase the Heads of the Protestants in that Country to his part ? Now at the same time that these Emissaries caused this Doctrine to be solicited in the Court of France , and by their solicitation obtained Money and Treaties in France , and insinuated themselves into High Hungary ; the Brethren of the same Emissaries , who are as puissant in the Imperial Court , as the former in the Court of France , by Intelligence and Conspiracy with the former , had the dexterity without notice it may be precisely given thereof at first to his Imperial Majesty , to cause it to be determined at the Court of Vienna , that cruel Persecutions should be raised against those miserable People ; we must not wonder then , that those poor People , Members of our Faith , persecuted on one hand , and flattered on the other , are fallen into the trap set for them by the Court of Rome with so great dexterity , and that thereupon we have seen the Protestant Body in that Country in this last conjuncture , agitated with such furious Convulsions .

This Pious Prince , though he were immediately advanced to the Throne by God himself , could not escape the Conspiracies of his enemies both at home and abroad : for Men of Turbulent and restless Spirits , will be sure to find or make some pretences or occasions of quarrel , under the most just and equal Government .

Settle.

summary:
  So that all the forementioned Impotence and Impossibilities of popish and arbitrary Tyrannys Introduction into England , being fully demonstrated ; I have only this to add ; There is no greater Mistake in the generality of Mankind , than an Imbibed Opinion , that the Papists think themselves obliged to endeavour the setting up of their Religion hap-hazard , right or wrong , hand over head , without Consideration or Regard to the Issue or Success of the Undertaking ; and that in fine , a popish Successour will certainly muster all Forces and all Engines to attempt the Storming of the whole Protestant Liberty and Religion , though under a tenfold Odds of laying his very Bones at the Siege . But alas ! when it comes to the DOING once , the Papists will find that the whole Body of the people of England , even to a Nemine Contradicente ( at least , not one in a hundred excepted ) if without any other Defence of their Belief , are still those Opinators in Religion , that maugre the general Ignorance of the Multitude , or the great Learning or Rhetorick of the Jesuites , they 'd be no sooner perswaded to quit their plain English Bibles , nay , not so much as poor Sternhold and Hopkins , to listen to an unintelligible Latine Mass , or joyn in an Ora pro nobis sancte Paule , sancte Petre , sancte Loyola , and the rest of the Fraternity of Major , or Minor Saints , then they 'd kneel to the Talmude or the Alcoran , nor be no more perswaded into the possibility of a Wafer's Transsubstantiation into a Deity , than of a Cartwheel into a Star : and without these and the rest of the Romish Fundamentals , where 's the Restoration of the Romish Faith , or the Progress of a Popish Propagation in England .

  It is a farther Comfort to Us , that our Sufferings ( God be praised ) are in some measure , not unlike to those of Christ our Lord ; For it was laid to his Charge as it is to Ours , that he was a Traytor to a Caesar ; That he perverted the People , and endeavour'd the b Destruction of Church and State ; Nor were there wanting , then as now , an OATS and BEDLOE , c two false Witnesses to Swear all this . 6. This Way or Means is not the Reading of Scripture , Interpreted according to the Private k Reason or l Spirit of every Disjunctive Person , or Nation in Particular ; But , 7. It is an Attention and m Submission to the Doctrine of the Catholick or Vniversal Church , established by Christ for the Instruction of all , n Spread for that end throughout all Nations , and visibly continued in the Succession of Pastors , and People throughout all Ages : From which Church o Guided in Truth , and secured from Error in Matters of Faith , by the p promised Assistance of the Holy Ghost , every one may , and ought to q Learn both the Right Sense of the Scripture , and all other Christian Mysteries and Duties , respectively necessary to Salvation .

summary:
  My Lord , I did not see this Letter in several days after the papers brought me from Bradly ; when he came in with Three great Baggs , and a Box of Letters on Sunday night ; Said I , which are Mr. Coleman's principal papers ? Said he , those that are in the large speckled cloath Bagg ; for these we took first in the Scritore : These I took , and meddled not with the other , I presume other Clerks of the Council can give a particular account where this paper was found . The tryal of Edward Coleman, Gent.
