The Explanation,  
SO exceeding great is the Detestation that Englishmen bear to the unheardof Tyranny and matchless Superstition of Popery, that they have ever since the Reformation, but more especially since the Discovery of the late Damnable and Hellish Popish Plot against their Religion and Liberties, laid hold of all Opportunities to express their just Abhorrence of it. Among other ways, this of exposing their Hellish Contrivances by Picture was not thought the most contemptible.   

The PLATE hath Twelve DIVISIONS.  
I. The First describes the Burning of LONDON, which hath been proved undeniably by Dr. Oates, Mr. Bedloe, and others, to be contrived and carried on by the Papists. A blessed Religion, that must be introduced by the Ruin of so many thousand Families! But Devastation alone would not content, without Blood: For, in the next place,  
II. We describe Oates' Depositions of the Plot; which was no more than every Gentleman in the Commission of the Peace was bound to do: yet for this necessary discharge of his Duty, the Conspirators were so enraged, that they resolved to cut him off; the rather, as may reasonably be supposed, to deter all other Magistrates from intermeddling with any Affairs relating to the Plot. The Persons actually present at this Murder were, Girald and Kelly, two Priests; Green, Bury, and Hill, who were since executed for it. The whole discovered by Mr. Miles Prance, who was to have acted in it.  
III. We come to deseribe The General Days of Humiliation appointed by His Majesty's Proclamations, on the Thirteenth of November, 1678. and on the Eleventh of April, 1679. to implore the Mercies of Almighty God, in the Protection of His Majesty's Sacred Person; and that he would infatuate and defeat the Counsels of the Papists, our Enemies.  
IV. The next thing in order of Time was The Execution of several of the Plotters, viz. Coleman, Ireland, Grove, Pickering, Whitebread, Harcourt, Fenwick, Gavan, Turner, and Langhorn, etc.  
V. We come now to the Sham-Plots. Their next great Design was to take off one of our great Bulwarks, viz. the Right Honourable Anthony Earl of Shaftsbury. In this Fifth Division we give you the manner of Mr. Dangerfield's coming to attempt him; and,  
VI In the Sixth, The Manner of Mrs. Cellier's (one of the Pope's Amazon's) going to do that Great Work herself, (Mr. Dangerfield having sailed in the Attempt) and of her turning down Stairs. Although frequently attempted, yet it hath pleased God hitherto (for the good of this Na●●●n by his gracious Providence to preserve this Honourable Person; and it is the Prayers of all good Protesta●●● That he may never fall into the hands of his Popish Adversaries, whose tender Mercies are Cruelty.  
VII. To show the Papists would leave no Stone unt●●●'d to blow off this Hellish Plot, their next Stratagem was to forge a Plot upon the Presbyterians, by Name; but in Truth to involve the most zealous and active Protestant Nobility, Gentry, etc. throughout the Nation: which being fortified with bold Perjuries, and specious Pretences, might gain Credit; and thereby they being destroyed as a Sacrifice to Justice, it might seem probable, That the last Years Plot was only their malicious Contrivance against the Catholics, who would then appear the King's best Subjects. The Model of this designed Plot against the Presbyterians was found by Sir William Waller, in the House of Mrs. Cellier, hid in a MEAL-TUB, in a Paper Book, tied with Red Ribbons: It purported to be only Remarks or Chief Heads of Things and Persons to be charged; as, amongst the rest, there were named, the Lords Hallifax, Shaftsbury, Radnor, Essex, Wharton, the Duke of Buckingham, and others, to be of Counsel in this pretended Conspiracy; the Duke of Monmouth General; the Lord Grey, Lord Gerard, and his Son, and Sir Thomas Armstrong, Lieutenant-Generals in this Rebellious Army; Sir William Waller, and others, Major-Generals; Colonel Mansel, Quarter-master-General. By this whole Contrivance it most evidently appears, that their aim was to ruin all that were true Protestants, or honest Asserters of the Liberties and Property of the Subject: for indeed there cannot be assigned above two or three, in all their long forged List, that can with any Colour of Reason, or usual acceptation of the Word, be called Presbyterians.  
VIII. Next we come to describe the manner of Mrs. Celliers sitting in State on the Pillory, near the Maypole in the Strand, with her famous Wooden Shield, to defend her from the Fury of the People. She was most justly sentenced to this ignominious Punishment, for publishing an abominable lying Pamphlet, entitled, Malice Defeated: A Book stuffed with so many Lies, and notorious Equivocations, and with so much Malice and Envy to all Protestants in general, that the like was never publicly sold.  
IX. We describe the manner of Assaulting Justice Arnold, by Three notorious Russians; one of whom, viz. Giles, hath been since Tried, and found Guilty, and accordingly deservedly punished for it.  
X. We next describe The manner of their tearing their Treasonable Papers, for fear of a Discovery.  
XI. In the next place, we describe their Holy Fathers receiving comfortable Letters from England, (with Tears of Joy) of the likely Success of their Plot.  
XII. Lastly, We describe The manner of the Execution of William Viscount Stafford, on Tower hill, who was impeached by the House of Commons in 1678. of High-Treason, in Conspiring the Death of the King; and was accordingly brought to Trial before the House of Lords, in Parliament, on Tuesday the last day of November, and by them found Guilty, and sentenced to Death, on Tuesday following, viz. the Seventh of December, 1680. and accordingly executed on Tower hill the of December.
