A TRVE CONFVTATION OF A FALSE AND LYING PAMPHLET ENTITVLED , A Divelish designe by the Papists to blow up the Citty of OXFORD with Gunpowder , on Thursday the 13. of January 1641.

TO All to whom these presents shall come . Whereas there have lately been diverse false reports in printed Pamphlets , and otherwise raised , & dispersed , of a Divellish designe by Papists to blow up the Citty of Oxford with Gunpowder . And that for the effecting thereof , there were found upon a search by Officers at the signe of the Starre neere Carfoxe , two and twenty Barrels of Gunpowder , two Barrels of Shott and Bullets , and great store of Warlike Amunition , as Shovells , Spades , Pick-axes and the like , with compleat Armes for one hundred and fifty men . These are to certifie , that upon examination of the premises , We can find no foundation of truth for the same , neither was there found at the said signe of the Starre , any powder , shott , Bullets , or other warlike Amunition , but such as was placed there by the Lord Lieve-tenant , and Deputie Lieve-tenants of the Countie of Oxford , wherealso the Magazin and store of powder , and Amunition for the said County , hath for many yeares before been kept , nor doth any cause appeare to suspect , that the said Gunpowder and Amunition , was intended to be disposed of , or imployed , but according to the direction of the Lord Lieve-tenant , and Deputie Lieve-tenants of the said County . And whereas these false reports may tend to the great Injury , and prejudice of Mr Thomas Williams who keepeth the said Inne . These are moreover to certifie that the said Mr Thomas Williams is of very good repute within the said Citty of Oxford , and conformable to the Protestant Religion of the Church of England , no way addicted to Popery , and most unlikely to comply , or confederate with any bad or popish designe , against his King or Country . And whereas the said reports have by some been pretended to be founded on some letters or speeches of one Martin Wright Alderman of the Citty of Oxford , the said Alderman doth utterly disclaime to have given any colour to the said reports by his subscription hereunto .

In Witnesse whereof , We have subscribed our names . Dated at Oxford the seventh day of February 1641. Io. Tolson Vicecan . Oxon. deput Leonard Bowman Major . Samuel Fell Deane of Christ-Church . Robert Pinck Warden of New Colledge . Christopher Potter Provost of Queenes Colledge . Gilbert Sheldon Warden of All-soules Colledge . Iohn Saunders Principall of St Mary Hall . Henry Sowtham Alderman . Martin Wright Alderman .
