WHEREAS the late horrid Plot & Conspiracy of divers Priests and Jesuits , and other Papists , against His Majesties Sacred Person , and for the Subversion of the Protestant Religion and his Majesties Government , hath been so far discovered , that the said Effects thereof have by his Majesties care and the blessing of Almighty God , been hitherto prevented , and the most Notorio●s Offenders therein brought to condigne punishment in England , or are secur'd , or fled from Justice . And whereas nothing would more conduce to the lasting safety of his Majestie , his Kingdom , and the Protestant Religion therein Established , then that there might be a full and perfect Discovery of the said Conspiracy ; and it is to be suspected , That many persons contrary to the Duty of their Allegiance , do still conceal their Knowledg of the said Plot , and the Conspirators therein , presuming that at any time hereafter ( though never so late ) when they shall offer a Discovery , they may obtain His Majesties Pardon for all their offences .
