IT cannot be denied but that this Age has pro­duced as various transactions (and as stupen­dious too) as any heretofore, and therein has dis­cover'd and brought to light the unparalell'd De­signs, and execrable Intentions of the Adorers of Jack Presbyter, who (notwithstanding such unde­niable Testimonies of their Villanies) must needs assume to themselves the Names of True Protestants and Patriots, and under such Hypocritical Dis­guises contrive and imagine such Treasons, which as in past Ages they could never be paralell'd, (though these Saviours did their endeavours in the late times) so in all future they can never be [Page]credited, they are so transcendently Inhumane and Flagitious.

These sly Contrivances did not a little insinuate into the Mobile, and some few other of their Crea­tures, but of late (thanks be to God) the Cur­tain is drawn aside, and every thing appears bare­fac'd, and in its natural hew, by which their hel­lish Designs were defeated and frustrated.

But to come to the matter design'd; my Lord having appeared very much dejected since his Sei­zure and Commitment, he delighted not in Com­pany, but no doubt spent his time in reflecting on his past Life, and the ill success that attended such Actions. This grew so fast upon him, that on Friday Morning about Ten of the Clock, his Ser­vant had not left him long in his Chamber, but he returned and found him dead, a great Wound having been given in his Throat which reached almost to each Ear; upon which all the Care ima­ginable was taken for his Recovery, but too late; information of which was immediately dispatched to His Majesty (who together with his Royal Highness was then viewing the Tower) and after­wards to the Court at the Old Bailey, which did not a little astonish all that heard of it, and may be an Example to all those that love their Private Interests before that of the Publick; that love only their King but as it is subservient to some Private Design, and that make it their business under the cloke of Religion to destroy Kings, and bring to utter Ruin the best of Governments.
