In which Hellish Contrivance, Villanous Design and Burning Popes
November: Mr. Serjeant hath been before the councill, but said little as to the plott, only that the Jesuites had a design to murther the king, and that Gawen the preist died with a lye in his mouth, haveing told him that the king might lawfully be killed, not only as an heretick, but for defileing the queens bed.
By the confession of Dangerfeild, and examination of Mrs. Cellier, it appears that sir Robert Peyton hath endeavoured to reconcile himself to the duke of York; that he hath for that purpose mett the earl of Peterborough and been once or twice with the duke in private.
One Curtis, and one Nevill, alias Payne, are clapt up on the information of Mr. Dangerfeild.
The 5th, at night, being gunpowder treason, there were many bonefires and burning of popes as has ever been seen on the like occasion.
Sir Wm. Waller hath lately seized some preists habitts and severall popish books in Holborn.
On the 17th, being queen Elizabeth's birthday, at night were severall bonefires, and particularly a very great one at Temple gate, where a pope was burnt in pontificabilus that cost above 100l.
Dangerfeild, Mrs. Cellier, Gadbury, sir Robert Peyton, and others, have been examined twice or thrice about the presbyterian plott, and they find it to be a hellish contrivance.
The conspiracy against Dr. Oates by Knox and Lane appears on their tryall to be a most villanous design; and had it succeeded, it had rendred Dr. Oates his testimony invalid for the future.
