THE IESVITES PLOT DISCOVERED Intended against the PARLIAMENT and City of London very lately.  
As was apparently declared by the Confession at tyburn of the two jesuits that were hanged drawn and quartered.  
As also the jesuits speech at his Confession.  
With the just cause of the Parliaments removing from Westminster to Grocers-Hall the 18. and 19. day of Ianuarie.  
Likewise with an Order from the Committee that Thames and all other Ports should be strongly fortified, for fear any conspiracy of the jesuits should ensue.  
Printed 1641.   

The just cause of the Parliaments removing from Westminster to Grocers Hall.  
THE Papists have been such inveterate enemies against this kingdom, that they have always laboured either to subvert the same by their politic counsels, or else to bring the State incontinently to a ruinated destruction. They have with vigilant care, and sedulity endeavoured to supplant our Religion, which that they might perfect with greater facility, their treacheries and nefarious conspiracies have been solely intended against the Parliament; Knowing that either on their security, the security of the kingdom, or on their ruin, the ruin of the whole Nation was involved, therfore they obscurely detected their malice against it, that they might more privately compose their Stratagem. Once they had almost reduced their Plots to mature perfection, when they had got their Arch-conduct Lunsford into the Tower where he had got full command of Westminster: but the Parliament being more judicious conceived their designs, and immediately displaced him.  
Then they were furiously invective against those Pillars of the kingdom, and then colonel Lunsford with the reciprocal conjunction of the Lord Digby did collect a number of horse, and Ammunition, and other arms of Hostility prerended all against the Parliament, and consequently against the City by the auxiliary aid of their adherents. The Parliament did then immediately, suspecting some conspiracy against them, remove to Guild-Hall, and from thence to Grocers-Hall, where they continued the space of a week, but afterwards having a general meeting at Westminster they returned thither again, where they continued a week longer: but since having such just suspicion of the treacheries of the Papists, they could not think themselves secure there any longer: wherefore they unanimously agreed to sit in Grocers-Hall again, it being in the heart of the City: so that if by any means an insurrection should arise, the City were more able and strong to defend them. Yet besides this plot of the Papists, there was a conspiracy of the Jesuits intended against the Parliament, striving to bring them to a mutiny, and sedition amongst themselves: which that they might more completely perfect, they calumniously suggested many Popish Lords, that by their joint consent, and opitulation they might more easily compact, Polish, & deliver their Plot. But they did not onely intend it against Westminster, and the Parliament House, but likewise against the City of London, which with their greatest diligence they endeavoured to ruinated. And to circumvent their stratagem with more facility, they instructed themselves to become favourites to many Citizens, and having palpably seduced them, incontinently induced them to become Traitors to the City. Thus they aggregated many confederates unto them, and transplanted great Ammunition into their houses, threatening, or at least intending the subversion and absolute demolition of the Parliament and City. But the Peers and House of Commons having partly intelligence of their design, and partly making strict inquisition concerning the same, who were the first fomenters, authors, and prime executors of the same, did entertain great suspicion among themselves, and presently grounded their resolutions to sit at Grocers-Hall: where they might without any danger be in security. And withall they voted, ordered, enacted, and published an exact, and strict Declaration, that the Thames, and all other Ports should be strongly fortified with Ammunition for fear any danger should ensue, and that they might be able to resist, or oppose the same. But I seriously hope, that neither we, nor they, shall have any occasion of mutiny amongst ourselves: for though the protestant party be but little, & few in number, & their enemies infinite, yet a little David may slay a great goliath. Neither do I make the least dubitation, but that the Popish Recusants and Romish adherents shall be confounded in all their Plots, treacheries, and conspiracies, for the Parliament have such a prying eye, and vigilant care for the prosperous security of the kingdom, that they can both discover their dark obscure and intricate Plots, and also dissipate their Hellguided Counsels. And God grant that they may still and still be defended from their bloody intents by his Divine preservation, that the truth & sincere purity of his word may be established, that the various discords & tumultuous seditions of the people may be regulated, & that the sanctity of his gospel may continue and be propagated for ever.
