A true and perfect Relation of the Apprehension of five Friars, one Pilgrim, and three Soldiers, etc.  
NOt to trouble my Reader with any tedious preamble to little or no purpose, but to come readily and truly to the matter in hand, which being such an extraordinary passage, of God's good providence towards this Land and Nation; in preserving us from the daily Plots and wicked machinations of his and our adversaries. It is not fit it should lie all together smothered up in the pit of oblivion; but be divulged and spread abroad in each corner of this Kingdom, that so all true hearted Protestants may know, and knowing, may understand how infinitely they are engaged to bless God for such wonderful deliverances, and with David extol his Name, from one generation to another.  
It were needless to stand upon particulars in a point so plain and obvious to the eye of every faithful Protestant.  
If you ask who's our adversaries, the question is soon answered, who? But the Jesuits, Friars, Papists Priests, and others of the wicked adherents to the sect of Rome.  
If you ask how this is manifested, daily experience proves it; how many hellish Plots and Conspiracies hath this infernal tribe hatched against these his Majesty's Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, since the beginning of reformation? When the Illustrious splendour of the Gospel first began to shine in our British Horizon to this present, poor afflicted Ireland can sadly witness the truth hereof, whose deplorable condition at this time, by the cruel inhumanity and barbarous actions of the blood thirsty Papists, against the faithful Professors of the Protestant Religion in that Kingdom, would extract tears from a heart of flint, to hear that such tigers should be couched under the shapes of men, but the particulars of this their tyranny, is well known to all men.  
I shall not therefore insist upon that or any other discourse, but come briefly to this last project, hatch by their grandfather the Devil, blest by their holy father the Pope, put in practice by his children, the Friars and Jesuits; but discovered by God, whose never slumbering eye continually sees, and seeing, derides all such foolish combinations against his Church and people, and now brought to light, that all true Christians and subjects may be thankful for the same, and praise the great Name of the Lord for ever and ever.  
In March last 1642, a certain ship under the conduct of Patrick Sym●t who was Master thereof, should have transported it into Ireland, with these passengers, whose names are as followeth, Thomas Fastell, Teage Barr, Patrick Carr, Richard Birke, Francis Cauthon, Friars; Malathyn Gaggon Pilgrim; Thomas Moham, Bryant Mackall Greahall, Daniel Brianon Soldiers.  
This goodly company being minded to visit their traitorous Confederates in Ireland, upon what enterprise is not yet known, until the wisdom of the Parliament shall further examine the business; but being greatly suspected, and not without good cause, both ship and passengers were stayed in their journey at Saint Ives in Cornwall, by the Vice-Admîrall M. Basset, and information presently given to the Parliament, who immediately made an Order, directed to the Sheriffs of each County, to provide stron guards for their safe conduct to London, which was accordingly performed, and they committed to Newgate on Friday the 9 of April 1642, where now they remain expecting the pleasure of that Honourable Assembly for their further trial.  
A true Copy of which order is here inserted.  

Die Veneris 4 die Martii 1641.  
IT is this day ordered by the Commons House of Parliament, that the Master of the ship, and the five Friars, a Pilgrim, three Soldiers, and what others prisoners soever shall be delivered unto him by the Vice-admiral or his deputy, were bound for Ireland, and taken at St. I●ves in the County of Cornwall, by the said Vice-admiral Master Basset, be forthwith sent for up, and the several Sheriffs of every County (through which they are to pass) are hereby required to provide strong and sufficient guards for the conducting of the said persons in safe custody through their several Counties to London, And the Sheriff of Cornwall ordered to receive the said prisoners at the Town of Redruth, where they now are.
