A gunpowder PLOT IN IRELAND, DISCOVERED.  
THe rebels having intelligence that the noble Earl of Ormond, the Earl of Kildare, and the Lord Jones were fully resolved about the 7. of Ian. to relieve the City of Dublin, by reason that the Rebels have besieged it a long time, whereby they wanted provision and Ammunition very much, they resolved altogether to hinder their intents: therefore general Neale, and many other of the Rebels invented a Plot for the utter confusion of them all, and it was to be performed at that very instant when the aforenamed Lords were marching with their forces towards the City of Dublin.  

THE Manner how the PLOT was laid.  
THe Rebels for bringing their bloody and hellish designs to perfection, had provided shovels, spades, pick-hacks, and many other instruments for the said bloody design, and about the number of 400. soldiers, and there with all speed they set them to work which was to undermine the ground for the space of two miles, and laid there great store of Gunpowder: and so by that means to blow up the aforenamed Lords in their marching over: thi● being done, the Rebels intended to march against the City of Dublin, and to destroy it by wildfire: but they were prevented, and their hellish designs discovered by a miraculous means.   

THE Manner how this PLOT was discovered.  
Colonel Morton marching before the protestant Army, and the two other Lords bringing on their forces with puissant courage, they being come within the space of six miles of Dublin, Colonel Morton feeling the ground quiver under his feet, it seeming like dry ground, caused the Army to stand, and said, that he feared that there was treachery intended against them, he therefore immediately took one of their strongest pikes, and thrust it into the ground, to see whether it were hollow or not, the pike running in with such great force, and he laying no strength to it, immediately caused some of his soldiers to dig, to see what plot there was intended against them, and digging a yard deep they espied a vault, and great store of gunpowder, whereupon the aforesaid colonel caused them to retreat back, fearing that they had come too far, but not knowing how to discover the same: unless that some man would venture his life to go in: where presently a young man stepped forth, and spoke to them as followeth. Noble Captain, to do you and my Country good, I will venture my life to find out this hellish plot, than they let him down, who presently espied 6 men, they immediately questioning of him, he answered that he came from general Neale, chief general for the Rebels, to help them in their good enterprise, who being there about the space of two days, they resolved that only one of them should tarry to bring this to pass, which was to give fire to the gunpowder, for to blow up the protestant Army, the rest should go forth, and retire back to the Rebels: therefore they concluded together to draw cuts which of them should tarry, which as the Lord would have it, it fell to his lot: and they being gone, he seeing the place which they came out at, came presently to the said place, and opened the door, which was of wood, and covered with turf, in such a manner, that no man could perceive whether there were any door or not: and coming forth, he re●ated to Captain Morton how it was. Who presently set a strong guard about the said vault, and then 200, of the protestants went in, and fetched all the powder out, and great store of Ammunition they have also taken.
