A more full Account of the Names of those Confpirators who( to embrew again the Nation in a new war) would have levied a new Army for the Interests of Charles Stewart, and have fired the City of London in several places to accomplish their bloody designs.  
you may remember that not long stuce we did represent unto you the gallant Resolution of the Common-council and the Militia of the City of London, declaring that they would lay down both their lives and fortunes in the cause in which God hath owned his Highnesse for the defence of the Common-wealth of England, and the maintenance of their own Rghts and liberties. At the same time there were represented many Declarations and Remonstrances from the Army in Scotland, Ireland and other places, declaring the same Rerolution to live and die with his Highnesse.  
It will not be amiss, to give you a more full and large account of them, that so the general inclination of the Souldiers and others of this nation being found you may increase your admiration that any men should be so unreasonable, as to go about to untwist a Thrée-fold cord which is not easily broken by endeavouring to dissolve the strength betwixt England, Scotland and Ireland, which is so firm, and so united. And how could they b●ing about this endeavour bu● by firing the City of London, the place that gave life unto many of them and accommodations to them all, and this to be done, when the City and the th●e Nations had given assurances upon assurance that they would stand with his Highnesse against all enemies whatsoever: for they thoroughly represented, that as often as they look back upon the times past, and call to min● the wonderful things that God hath done for them within the compass and revolution of a few years, they cannot but stand amazed at the Admirable Series and course of the Divine providene● which hath still gone on in a way not only beyond, but besides their expectation, that so they might be made to know that it was the Lords own doing, and that they themselves were onely but weak and unworthy instruments guided and directed, and acted also by a power above them.  
They have faithfully represented, that they do find the Lord hath brought glorious things to pass for his people such as sometimes they did neither look nor hope for, such as do make them to aclowledge and confess that God knoweth better what is good for them then they themselves do. They are pleased to remember the good cause which they first engaged in, and their frequent and renewed engagements, and their constant Actings, and prosecutions of it; which, although it was under several forms and by several means, yet it was still the same. Viz. The bringing the Nations out of slavery, and the asserting of the spiritual and civill liberty to the people of Grd  
But above all things, they cannot forget how highly instrumental, God hath made his Highnesse all along in this business; so that under God they may say; that by his Highnesse it is that they have not perished in their own follies, nor qecome a prey to the malice of their Enemies.  
They have declared, that they are truly sensible of the mistakes, divisions & animosities that have been amongst them, insomuch that some would have confined the mind and end of God in the great action to their forms, some again to their advantages, and advancement, and by striving so vehemently and so obstinately for their own ways, the Cause of God had been betrayed, and the people of God brought into a worse condition then ever had it not been for the piety and the prudence of his Highnesse, who still followed the good hand of providence, and was still guided and upheld by it.  
But now when it h●th pleased God to give them some fruit of their Prayers and endeavours, and some reward of his Highnesse labours, when after their long, their troublesone, and dangerous Pilgrimage through the read Sea of blood, and wilderness of confusion, they have obtained to some prospect, nay to some taste and Function of Canaan the resting place of Gods people: Now after the foundation of Sion hath been begun to be laid, and that they had hopes of changing the Tabernacle into a Sanctuary( a sanctuary which they might both hope and pray; might continue until Shiloh come) they cannot but entertain great grief and heavy impressions of their hearts, to perceive that there should be some of those who once went among them, still doubting, and murmuring, nay disparaging the promised Land and disheartening the people, and endeavouring to bring them back again to the house of Bondage to have their tasks trebly augmented, if not their Generations altogether rooted out.  
At such a time they do aclowledge they would be wanting to the cause of God, and to their own duties and engagements, if they should not bear witnesss against such persons and actings, especially sine● they understand that some of them are willing to have the people of England to believe, that his Highnesse Army in Scotland is such as they would have them.  
Therefore in all humble manner they have made their addresses to his Highnesse, and have both professed and protested that they still do and will adhere to the glorious Cause in which they were first engaged, and in the defence the prosecution and advancement of that cause they shall( as hitherto they have done) be ready always to adventure their lives and fortunes, for they know no other way( as providence now hath ordered things) to maintain and advance that Cause, but only by continuing true and faithful to his Highnesse, by whose prudence and valour it hath for a long time been solely preserved and by whose piety they are confident not only to have their engagements, but even the very wishes of their hearts fulfilled, and that in the pursuance of this Cause they will stand by his Highnesse with their lives and fortunes against all persons what soever, not only, the common Enemy, but even those who heretofore have been so much their friends( if they shall make an opposition) for whom although they have great tenderness and bowels of compassion, and for whom they are even bold to become Intercessors to his Highnesse, that all good means may be used to bring them to a right sense, yet they can no ways suffer them to hinder, much less to destroy the work of God.  
They therefore beseech his Highnesse to be strong, and of a good courage, and they shall ever pray, that as the Lord hath hitherto prospered him he will evermore continue to make him happy and victorious.  
This being the sense and resolution of the three Armies in the three Nations, of the City of London, and all men who are entire to wisdom and understanding, who can imagine that so unreasonable a spirit of folly and division should possess some men as to break this staff of union to destroy the peace of the Nations and to endeavour to mingle all things with fire and blood.  
And that this is so, may appear by the examniation of several pactyes of quality who lately have been aprehended upon suspicion of Treason; you have heard many wéeks since that colonel John russel who served the late King in his wars, and is Brother to the earl of Bedford was committed to the Tower upon the atttainder of high Treason, & that sir William Compton, Brother to the earl of Northampton, and sometimes Governor of Banbury in Ox fordshire, for the late King was committed not long afterwards to the Tower upon the same account.  
Since that time Mr John Mordant brother to the earl of Peterborough hath been committed to the Tower.  
Sir Richard Willis heretofore Governor of Newark for the late King hath been also apprehended, and carried from Covent Garden to the Tower of London for high Treason.  
Sir Henry Slingsoy of Yorkshire, Knight and Baronet: hath upon the same Account been carried to the Tower of London.  
Doctor John Hewet. Chaplain to the late King, and Doctor of Divinity, hath also been lent to the Tower upon the account of high Treason against the present Government and the person of his Highnesse the Lord Protector.  
It was suspected that some of the Presbiterian party, and the Anabaptists should by a strange mixture join together, and have a hand in this desperate plot.  
It was thought also that some of the men of the fifth Monarchy should take the bridle in their mouths, and run quiter away from all order and Government: but upon the examination of many of them it did not appear that they had any engagement in this bloody combination.  
It was contrived by the Cavaléers, and carried on so far, that one Mr. Manly a Turkish Merchant had received a Commission from Charles Stewart, which in January last was dated at Bruges in Fland●rs.  
This Mr. Manly by his Commission was to be one of the colonels in this Design, which was to be carried on with all vigour and privacy.  
It seems that Charles Stewart had so good a conceit of him, that he gave power to the said Mr. Manly to make whom he pleased officers under him, and to give them Commission as it is confessed by some of his companions who desiring to understand the full latitude and the depth of the Design be made answer to them, that they were not to inquire into farther particulars, but satisfy themselves that the others who in chief were to command with him were all persons of worth and honour.  
Danger appearing to be so considerable and on foot too it was high time for his Highnesss to look about him. It hath been a great providence that in all the plots that have been laid to embroil the N●tion in a new war, they have been wonderfully discovered, before they came to take effect: Of this we may make a long Catalogue, but they are all fresh and present in our memories.  
His Highnesse by the mercy of God having understood of this combination which tended so much to the ruin of the public, and imbrewing the Nation in a bloody war, again thought fit by the Advice of his counsel, that a high Court of Iustice should be called for the trial of the Delinquents that are so dangerous to the state: And on Monday May the 17. the Commissioners of the said high Court of justice did meet in the painted chamber, where they had a meeting in order to the trial of these Delinquents not long before. On this afternoon they took the Oath appointed by a former Act of the Parliament,  
The right Honourable the Lord Lisl● one of the Commissioners of the great Seal w●● chosen to be Lord President of the Court, And a Debate being made cencerning the choice of other Officers, it was resolved that the same Officers who attended thelate high Court of justice, should be made choice of to serve in this; It was ordered also, that a place should be made for them to sit in, as heretofore at the upper end of Westminster-Hall, and Carpenters were appointed for the carrying on of the work.  
But neither the nomination of the Commissioners, nor the preparations of the Court, nor the apprehending and examining of so many of the Plotters could deter their complices from going on in their most desperate design. Therefore an extraordinary care was taken to prevent them and on Saturday May the 15. the Guards were doubled at White-hall, and in all the other places where the Guards are usually kept. several inns and Taverns were examined and some arms were discovered, at the several Gates of the City and in other places, about sorty of the Cavaléer party were brought to White hall, some were sent to the Gate-house, some to Pau●●, some to the Councers, some to the Tower, some to one Prison, some to another for that night was appointed to be the night in which they would make their general Insurrection.  
They had appointed several places of rendezvous in several places of the City, as some of them acknowledged when they were examined. They had many Regiments listed. Eleven a clock at night was the time in which they were to have been ready to act, and the better to carry on what they had intended to perpetate, they had an intent to ●●re the City in several places.  
Amongst those who were apprehended on Saturday night and carried away to Prison, was one Sir William Leighton, who in the late wars commanded the King● own Troope, and was afterwards a colonel in Colchester.  
There was also a mayor apprehended who formerly had been a mayor of horse in Glocestershire for the late King, an● served him afterwards at Wallingford under Colonel Blague.  
There were several others who were taken with this mayor at the sign of the Bell. in Carterlane, who have confessed much, they were carried with said mayor unto the Tower.  
There were also several Captains and other officers taken who were of the late kings party, and are now in Custody in the Tower several Apprentices were taken and are stil in Custody, some of whom have made large Confessions.  
You are to understand that so many have been apprehended, that the Lord Leiut. of the Tower hath ever since the said Saturday night been constantly employed in taking Informations and Examinations, and in sending out warrants for the apprehending of suspected persons.  
There is taken one Mr. Topham a Silkman of Canon-street, who confesseth he was entertained as a Captain in Manleys Regiment, and for the better managing the design there were brought to the said Tophams he use al sorts of Ammunition a great part of which as Topham himself confesseth was carried away, & a great part thrown into the house of office when they found the Design to be discovered.  
This Topham and Manly were principal m●n that were to act in this City, and they had undertaken to seize on the right honourable the Lord Robert Titchborn, unto whose valour and Vigilance the City oweth much for it's safety. Sir William Leighton was to surprise the guard of the Souldiers at Pauls, and to make sure of the Tower of which shortly you will have a more large account.  
There is one friar in Tower-street who is apprehended & carried to the Tower who was to be a Commander in Manlyes Reigment, & who had furnished those of his party with powder, bu●ets, & other materials for war  
There is also one Captain Dean apprehended for this Conspiracy, who with some others, had promised to beat down all before them in Holborn, Covent Garden and those parts of the City.  
There is also one Brandon & John Blundon apprehended who were both to be Commanders in the Army. And many more are taken daily, as a linen Draper living at the golden Key in Cheapside, and many others who being sent to several prisons, and some upo● the guard among the Souldiers it is impossible for the present to give a list of their names  
On Friday May the 21. the trained bands of the City of London had a general muster in ●insbury fields, where they gallantly showed how experienced and how resolute they were to maintain the honour of the City and their own Interests and s●fty against all Opponents whatsoever.
