TREASON discovered: OR An ample and real Relation of a late horrible Plot and Conspiracy against the Protestants of England, and in general the Citizens of London in particular.  
BEing intended to murder divers of the Nobility and many others of the Honourable House of Commons in Parliament, taken by confession, and examined by the Parliament, the 15. of Novemb. 1641. being Monday.  
The Jnformation of Thomas Beale a Tailor living in White-crosse-street in Goodman Warners house, delivered in Parliament on Monday and Tuesday November 15, 16. 1641.  
On the Sabbath day last the said young man, late at night passing through Moorfields near the City of London did overhear certain fellows talking and whispering together about their intended plot and machinations, the one of them saying that he had received 40. shillings in hand to murder divers persons eminent in the house of Parliament, which he would shortly accomplish, and another of them also made report that he had also received a larger sum me to do the like enterprise upon some great persons of the higher House, which pretended Plot of theirs, they verily expected should have taken effect on the Thursday night following, had not the Providence of Almighty God miraculously prevented the bloody designs of those cruel and merciless Papists: For it happened that those miscreant Traitors espying the said young man in the dark, and fearing by him to be discovered made at him with their weapons and grievously wounded him, intending to deprive him of his sweet life, which they had effected, had not the Divine Providence of God prevented in his good time by his escaping from them.  
In which Conference of theirs he also overheard them to whisper about some great plots or treacheries in Wales now intended against England, and that the three next shires adjoining to Ragland Castle, were lately come in with all their forces to the assistance of the Earl of Worcester.  
And the said young man coming before the Parliament house, really and truly did relate the said former passages with great modesty and honest Confidence, moreover alleging that they intended the murder of many protestant Lords, with many other Gentlemen such as Mr. Pym and the like, & that the Papists in Wales intended to seize into their hands all the strong holds of Cheshire and Lancashire with the adjacent parts, and that in that hurly burly and Combustion the plot was so laid and contrived, that by the Papists at the same Jnstant, the City of London should have been surprised, and all the Protestants throats cut,  
Upon which Relation the Houses of Parliament sat very late on Monday night last, and the Lords and others of both Houses were conducted to their Lodgings and houses by most of the trained Bands in Middlesex the same night.  
On the morrow very early, both Houses met, where upon serious deliberation, it was immediately concluded that the House of the said Earl of Worcester situate in the Strand in the liberties of Westminster, should be by strong watch guarded both by land and water, and that strict search should be made in the said house for the apprehending of the persons of Father Andrew's and father jones in the house of the Lord herbert's, Son and heir to the foresaid Lord of Worcester and divers other suspicious persons, supposed to be Confederate in that wicked and most Diabolical design, who are thought also to be lurking in the said house, which search was accordingly performed the same day about eleven a clock in the forenoon.  
The said Father jones escaped out of a back door into the Savoy, and father Andrew's was taken in the French Ordinary over against the Lord Herbert's house and is now in custody.  
There are divers warrants gone out to the Lord Major of the City of London, for the apprehending of divers other suspicious persons.   

Die Lune 15. Novemb. 1641.  
An Order of the Lords for the Apprehending of Priests and jesuites.  
IT is this day Ordered by the Lords in Parliament; That Father jones, and Father Andrew's, and all other Romish Priests and Jesuits shall be forthwith taken and apprehended by his Majesty's Justices of Peace and others his Majesty's Officers, and put into safe custody until the pleasure of this House be further known, and then the in names shall be returned unto the Lords in Parliament, and that any man that shall discover any Popish Priests or Jesuits and procure them to be apprehended; shall be rewarded by the Parliament.
