THE Discovery of a Terrible PLOT Against HULL, BY The assigns of the Lord DIGBY, many Papists, and others of the malignant Party.  
EVer since Sir John Hotham, excluded the King from His majesty's intended entrance into Hull, there hath been an intestine grudge against the said Act: the King affirming it to be no less than Treason against His royal Person, to repel Him from His own possessions, and an high and unheard of affront to His Majesty. But the Parliament unanimously voted to the contrary, and confirmed that Act, but as a faithful service performed by the commands of Both Houses of Parliament; and it would perspicuously appear in the face of the World, so far distant from the suppository Impeachment of Treason, that it would rather be commonly asserted an Act of Loyalty to His Majesty, and accommodation to the whole kingdom. These words it seems could not be digested by the swelling and angry stomachs of the Papists and others of the malignanr party. And the Lord Digby understanding the truth hereof was much incensed, and being with a seeming indignity exasperated, confirmed his resolution to vindicate the same (if by any politic stratagem it could be circumvented:) The Plot was as nefarious, as prodigious, as dangerous, as suspicious, that they had clancularly intended against Hull; Two Ships laden with strong provision of arms, and other Ammunition, came by the Sea, under a pretended colour of merchant's Ships from the Indies, and the like: and they had also Spices and other things in the Ship, that their Plot might be concealed, and detected the better and with more opportunity: and being searched, they had not suspected any thing, but that by great chance they perceived a barrel or two of Powder, and making farther search in the said Ships, they found great store of Ammunition of arms, which they intended to have had executed at Night against Hull, if they had not been prevented: but they were apprehended immediately, and carried before the Mayor of Hull, who committed them to safe custody. Then besides, these 5 Papists went under a disguised colour of a Committee at York, appointed by the Parliament to sit there, and under pretence also, that being threatened Imprisonment by his Majesty, they were constrained to fly thither for security, and th●refore desired them to open the Gates for them. But a Parliament man that was in Hull, viewing them, denied them to be Parliament men; whereupon they fled immediately, otherwise they had been apprehended. There was 100 Horfe, and 300 Foot lying in Ambush thereabouts: and if the Gates had been but once opened, they would immediately have assaulted the town. But God of his infinite mercy be praised and glorified, who hath discovered all the Plots of those that intend evil, and my prayers shall for ever continue, that he may always discover the same.
