A New Plot in Ireland. discovered the 4. of May, 1642  
Several changes in these times we may daily perceive, in our latter times every age acting vicissitude upon the ample theatre of this world, for nosooner are we seated in the glorious and firm establishment of religion, (whose splendent and radiant lustre, hath added a more shrill note to the trump of Fame) but instantly our hearts are f●●feited with the truth, and take an appetite to the blood thirsty Stratagems of Hell forged Conspiracy.  
Of all dismal and periculous acted intentions there is none more obnoxious to State or Common wealth, than those of conspiracy, whose malicious and brainsick projects are continually, and hourly forging destruction upon the anvil of envy and hate, which is the Mother of all pernicious imaginations, (examples of conspiracy are manifold,) but to omit those forepast relations, I will here fully and truly declare a late devilish and hellish Plot, first intended, and long concealed by the silent tongue of secrecy, yet the all-seeing Eye of God's divine justice, hath found out their projects, and dissipated their malicious intentions.  
Not far from the Neweries, there is a Castle commonly called by the name of Castle-patricke, inhabited by the Lord Dempsey, the ancientest rebel now in Ireland, the said Lord bought all the best Warlike and comeliest horses he could get at any rate, he also took up Oxen, Sheep, Butter Cheese, and other Commodities necessary for human sustenance to be unprised and unbought, and also divers quantities of Powder and Ammunition, he also set 100 Smiths at work ever since four years before the Rebellion, knowing what their evil and damnable intentions were, he hath remained in this Castle for the space of four years and a half, still waiting for his opportunity, and having intelligence, that the Protestant Army were fully resolved to assault the said Castle, (not knowing what Damnable Plots were in agitation against them.) He made it known to his servants; where he got every thing in Order ready to blow up the whole Army, but one of those which were in the Castle, being troubled in mind, and fore seeing what would follow, thought it expedient to impart it to one of his Companions, who consulting together got out of the Castle, and came to the Protestant Army, where they made it known to some of the chief Commanders, who with all speed hastened towards the said Castle; but ere they came thither the Lord Dempsey was got out, with all his horsemen and arms, saving only one old man who was left to give fire to the powder, there he was to lose his own life voluntarily.  
The intention of this prodigious design is not yet openly manifested to the popular expectations of the said Commons, the vulgar censure is variable and we may well and justly. imagine that as it proceedeth from the devil- so the intention could, not but be diabolical and nefarious.  
O the engendered malice of man? O the intestine and irremeable labyrinth of wicked and pernicious intentions, when Superstition and Roman Idolatry, worketh in sacred mischief and private evil, then doth it so infinitely swell with impious cogitations that it suddenly bursts into extremes and by God's all seeing providence, demonstrates itself hateful detestable and infamous.  
Conspiracy may fitly be compared to to a Hydra having many Heads and one Body, seemeth prodigious and wonderful to the spectators.  
It is then full time to cast our eyes toward ourselves, so shall we we in despising ourselves, learn how to praise the God of Jakcob for his manifold blessings and preservation of this happy island.
