THE
Seven
above-mentioned
Gentlemen
,
●●●●ing
with
a
Master
of
an
English
Vessel
,
about
Terms
for
carrying
them
to
France
;
and
after
some
time
they
agreed
with
●im
for
the
Sum
of
Forty
Pounds
sterling
;
Ten
●f
which
said
Sum
was
paid
him
on
their
going
●n
Ship-board
,
and
the
other
Thirty
Pounds
●as
to
be
paid
him
on
their
Arrival
on
the
Coast
●f
France
.
The
Vessel
being
under
Sail
,
pur●●ing
her
intended
Voyage
,
on
the
Coast
of
●aldon
in
Essex
,
the
Master
espied
aloft
an
Eng●●●h
Man
of
War
making
towards
them
:
Upon
●hich
,
he
immediately
went
off
of
the
Deck
into
●●e
Cabbin
,
and
informed
the
Gentlemen
that
●●ere
was
an
English
Man
of
War
steering
their
●●urse
directly
towards
them
;
and
that
he
be●●●ved
they
would
come
aboard
,
and
examine
●●d
search
the
Ship
.
Upon
which
Words
,
the
●●ster
perceived
the
Gentlemen
to
be
in
a
〈◊〉
great
Consternation
,
and
horrid
Confu●●●n
,
and
taking
a
bundle
of
Letters
,
wrapt
up
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Handerchief
with
Lead
at
the
bottom
,
threw
●●●●to
the
Sea
:
On
which
the
Master
(
as
't
is
●ht
,
to
save
his
own
〈◊〉
,
●i●ely
considering
there
was
no
way
to
escape
the
Man
of
●●r
)
immediately
gave
private
Orders
at
the
●
,
to
have
the
Ship
steered
into
Maldon
,
●●●ch
was
accordingly
done
,
and
the
Gentlemen
seixed
and
secured
:
And
,
notwithstanding
,
●●●●g
searched
,
there
were
(
as
is
said
)
found
●●●ately
about
them
,
several
Commissions
,
&c.
And
yesterday
,
being
the
First
instant
,
about
Seven
in
the
Evening
they
were
brought
from
Rumford
,
being
the
Road
from
Maldon
,
to
London
,
by
a
Party
of
Dutch
Horse
.
They
Inn
at
the
Bell-Savage
near
Ludgate
,
where
they
remain
under
their
Guard
,
till
they
are
carried
before
the
Privy
Council
,
which
will
not
sit
'till
Sunday
in
the
Afternoon
.
The
Accidents
of
the
'fore-going
Discovery
,
and
the
lately
unwelcome
News
of
the
Death
of
the
most
Valiant
,
and
almost
universally-lamented
Duke
of
LORRAIN
,
puts
me
in
mind
of
honest
Iohn
Partridges
Astrological
Observations
,
on
the
past
Month
of
April
:
For
though
I
am
no
great
Friend
to
Prophecy
,
or
the
Science
of
Astrology
,
yet
I
think
this
worthy
of
remark
,
viz.
That
in
this
Month
some
Great
and
Eminent
Man
will
die
:
That
in
this
Month
a
Plot
will
be
detected
,
and
some
Men
of
considerable
Note
concerned
therein
.
The
good
Providence
of
God
hath
wrought
a
mighty
Work
,
in
delivering
this
Church
and
People
from
the
Rage
of
their
Enemies
,
the
rapacious
Papists
,
whose
Designs
was
Murder
;
and
those
that
escaped
that
,
must
have
been
absolute
Slaves
to
the
arbitrary
Power
of
France
and
Rome
;
for
they
were
fallen
into
their
hands
,
but
God
sent
them
a
speedy
Deliverance
.
