London, Printed for John Thomas, 1641. EXCEEDING Good NEWS from the Isle of WJGHT. ABout eight or ten days since, a Ship laden fully with great quantities of Shot, about 1500 Muskets, many loads of Bullets, Powder, and other Engines for War, coming from Dunkirk (as is supposed) and bound for our Enemies the Rebels in Ireland, was forced by extremity of weather into a Harbour in the Isle of Wight, where being commanded by one of the Castles, there ●●●●e was stayed till further examination ●ow to dispose of those goods aboard, wherefore presently by advice of the Governors of the Isle, Letters were sent immediately to London to the Honourable House of Parliament to whom on Saturday last a Packet was delivered, and the messenger received with great courtesy, with desire of stay till the Honourable Houses of Parliament, shall debate of the matter, and fully dispose of that Business, the said Messenger did farther notify that there was divers other parcels of Ammunition, Powder, and shot, found out in a great Warehouse there, all which are also stayed, till full direction be given to dispose of them. Also that there was a great quantity of Bees Wax in the Ship, it cannot be imagined for what, unless it were to make tapers for the Mass Priests, but I trust in God it will now be disposed of to a better use. A wonderful preservation. MAster Patrick Oneale, Servant to Sir William Clotwerthy, being the first discoverer of that devilish Plot of I reason by the Rebels in Ireland, coming from thence, being well rewarded for his good Service; repaired into England, where in London he hath since lodged, at the sign of the George, near Barnerds Inn, in Holborn, and is now made a Captain, and to go in the Irish Fxpedition, in the interim he entertained into his Service an Irish Youth, who feigned himself to be a Barber, which Youth was soon inveigled by some Popish Priests here in town, to murder his said Master, for which he should be pardoned by the Pope their holy Father, the young man was soon drawn on to act mischief, in regard as the Priest; told him it was a meritorious Act to make him away, who was the hinderer of that great design that was to be effected in Ireland, he was also persuaded to make away Sir john Clotworthy, by strewing poison on his meat, the day was prefixed for the acting of this hellish, and diabolical Act, but mark the hand of God in the timely preventing thereof, for this Boy went to a Countrywoman of his, a Maid Servant in Drewry Lane, to whom he told his full mind and intent, thinking she had been a Romish Catholic, but she was otherways, and declared the truth to her Mistress, how he should have done it, and feigned himself to be drunk, all which was timely discovered to the Gentleman, and the Boy now lies in Newgate, to answer for it at the Sessions. A Wonderful Accident. ABout a quarter of a mile from the Bridge at Maidenhead, upon the right hand, on the side of a Hill was an ancient House standing among a Thicket of Trees, which house hath of a long time been inhabited by Papists, and a great shelter for Priests and Seminaries, who have there continually lurked, and now of late the Jnhabitant of the said House being a great Papist, did procure a place to be made under the Hill and House, by digging many large Vaults and Sellers, wherein he did store many Horses, Arms, Ammunition, Powder and Shot, with the like Engines of War, for what use may be easily conjectured, in regard of the ill success by many such Hellish Plots and Practices, which had not God prevented might have fallen upon us, but our God, which never faileth his that trust in him, can and will in his good time bring all their imaginations to nought, for while they were lately extraordinarily employed in their Devilish undermining Plots, and disposing of the Gunpowder in these Cells, the hand of God brought all to confusion, both Man, womans, Children, Beasts and all, one with another, for by the Powder taking fire all was blown up into the Air, where now is nothing left but a dreadful Spectacle of so miserable a Confusion. The truth of this was fully confirmed by a sufficient honest man, the Clerk of the Parish of White Waltham near adjoining, who was an eye witness thereof. A strange Birth. THat there have been many strange and prodigious Births, brought forth from time, to time, yet in these latter Ages, none more monstrous and wonderful, than this which was lately produced from the body of one Mistress Hid near Fuller's Rents in high Holborn, in the Parish of St. Andrew's, it was a Male Child, borne dead, having a Seam dented from the crown of the head, to the bottom of his forehead instead of the eyes, the appearance of two blathers of blood, and which was most wonderful, it had a double row of Teeth in either Jaw, both above and below, the Gums standing as full as they could hold, ' which bred a great astonishment, and much amazement to all beholders.
