I. IMprimis , That the said Dutchess hath and still doth cohabite and keep Company with the King , having had foul nauseous and contagious Distempers , which once possessing her blood can never admit of a perfect cure , to the manifest danger and hazard of the Kings person , in whose preservation is bound up , the weal and happiness of the Protestant Religion , our Lives , Liberties and Properties , and those of our Posterity for ever .

II . She hath laboured to alter and subvert the Government in Church and State now establisht by Law , and in the room there of to introduce Popery and Tyranny in the three Kingdoms by her Counsels from time to time .

III . She hath by her perswasion , countenance and other Artifices and Insinuations reconciled several of her Servants and others , natural born Subjects , to the Communion of the See of Rome , in defiance of the Statute which makes it Capital , Jac . 3.4 .

IV . She advised and still does nourish , foment and maintain that fatal and destructive Correspondency and Alliance between England and France . being sent over and pensioned by the French King to the same end and purpose , and consequently hath rendred ineffectual those frequent Addresses in Parliament for a War with the French King , and in order to the Propagating these her malitious , detestable and destructive Designs , against our Religion and Government the several French Ministers , who have resided here since the breach of the Triple League , ( from whence we of these three Kingdoms have and still groan under , ) have and do still resort to her Apartment in his Majesty's Royal Palace , where having several Conferences with his Majesty , they have pryed into his secret Counsels , and by the Assistance of her , her Agents and French Ministers , have fixed and continued the aforesaid accursed Amity between England and France , against the grave and repeated advice of the whole Nation in Parliament .

V. That she hath endeavoured to her Fower to stifle and vilifie the King Evidence , to create a disbelieve of the King of the Plot against his Royal Person , subversion of the Protestant Religion and Government , interceded for by Traytors impeached by Parliament and other Arch-Traytors ( particularly Father Ireland the Jesuite Arraigned , heard fairly and legally condemned , and most justly executed .

VI . She has from time to time intermedled and advised in mraters of the highest moment and importance in Government , as Peace and War , several Dissolutions and Prorogation of Parliament , matter depending wherein the very life and soul of the Government in Chu●ch and State was concerned .

VII . That she advised a disgeneral Peace , so destructive to Christendom and particularly to these three Kingdoms , it being in our Power to have turned the Scale .

VIII . That she placed and displaced great Ministers in Church and State , as she judged might be most serviceable in promoting the French Popish Interest .

IX . That she not only took upon her , to make chief Ministers as aforesaid but either received Sums of Money in hand , and Pension yearly out of their profits , saleries and perquisites , which hath in great measure contributed to that general corruption in all places , and nothing being more unnaturall , than when trust and places are bought ; Justice must be sold .

X. That she hath been an unspeakable charge and burthen , having had given her , for many years past prodigious Summs of Money in other people names , ( the better to disguise the matter ) as well out of the Publick Treasury , as the privy Purse ; and such is her ascendant over the King , that , in her own apartment , she prevailed with the King , there to Sign and Seal Warrants for Graunts , of Vast Summs of Money , an● particularly procured the Kings Warrant to the Earl of Danby ( now-Impeached and in the Tower ) for 100000 l. and this at one time , which ought to have been applied for the safty , honour and reputation of this Kingdom .

XI . That hardly and Grant , Office of Place was given , but through her or her Emissaries Intercession and money given to them .

XII . Those vast , prodigious Sums she hath for the most part , was to be transported to a Nation by Religion , Interest and Practice , and Enemy to our Religion and Government , to the weakening and impoverishing of our Nation and the strenghtning and enriching of our Adversaries .

XIII . That she hath procured Farms and Undertakings of the several Branches of the Revenue at lower Rates than really worth having been bribed for so doing .

XIV . That she hath protected several from Justice , and particularly , the Earl of Ranalagh , who had cheated , defrauded and abused the King in his Revenues of Ireland , supporting him against many representations from the Government of Ireland , and many Orders of the King and Council here , full-well knowing severall Articles were in the secret Committee against the said Earl , not only for cheating His Majesty in Ireland ; but for combining with the Earl of Danby in England to defraud the King , and particularly in the Excise-Farm . undertaken by the Dashwoods , and notwithstanding , such is her Power , she still protects the said Earl , not only from his Accounts ; but in his place of Treasurer , which does reflect upon His Majesty , to keep such a person in place in spight of all the Orders in Council , his own Convictions , and does wholly discourage a Parliament ever to give a supply , when such are imployed , and has procured several Letters , in favour of the said Earl of Ranalagh as well to the present as former Governours , to the●… nour of the King , and interruption of Justice .

XV . That she got grant in Ireland , ( in other persons names ) as well to Crown Rents , as others , to the great disorder , distraction and vexations of the Subjects . who are liable to have their Estates and Titles questioned and disturbed by Commissions of Enquiry , and otherways , as Officer for the King .

XVI . That she procured to her self a Graunt of the Revenues , arising by the Wine Lycenses , towards the defraying of her extravagant Debts , most contrary to the express Letter of the Act of Parliament , which provides most positively : that the Revenues arising therefrom , shall not be imployed or granted to any privat use whatsoever : yet , such was her power with His Majesty and the Earl of Danby Late Lord Treasurer , that she procured three able honest Servants to His Majesty , to be turned out of their Commissions in the Wine-License-Office , because they would not lend her Money upon the fecurity of the said Revenue , contrary to the Act of Parliament , above mentioned , and such is her power with several of the Commissioners of His Majestys Treasury , that she hath procured Doctor Taylor her servant to be made a Commissioner in the new Commission of Wine-Licence-Office , in prejudice of those persons turned out by the Earl of Danby , as aforesaid , on purpose that he the said Doctor Taylor , should govern that branch of the Revenue ( in spight and contempt of an Act of Parliament , appointing it to publick End and Government ) for the Dutchess use and behalf , neither can it be for any other end and purpose , for that the said Doctor Taylor , by reason of the many affairs he has to manage of the Dutchess , cannot attend the Kings Service .

XVII . That she hath and doth relieve and countenance in her Family and Lodgings in Whitehal , several Servants , whom she knows to be Papists and ill affected to the Protestant Religion and Government , giving them frequent and private access to His Majesty to the hazard and danger of His Majesties Person , and in a contempt of a late Act of Parliament whereby all . Papist whatsoever ( except Father Huddleston , seven Women-Servants and some forreign Servants to Her Majesty ) were prohibited to come within the Limits of His Majestys Pallace or Court ; notwithstanding which Act of Parliament , she hath , and still doth not only relieve in her Lodgings , as aforesaid , several Servants of the Popish persuasion , but she hath lately taken into her service a French Papist . whom she formerly preferred to His Majesty , as a Confectioner , and who was entred of His Majesties Service upon the aforesaid Act , which said Confectioner doth dayly prepare Sweet-meats and other Banquetings ( in triumph over the late fresh Act of that Parliament ) for His Majesty at her Lodgings , so as His Majesty may be in an eminent danger from the aforesaid French Papist , who has such opportunity to poyson His Sacred Majesty ( by mixing poyson in the Sweetmeats , whom God long perserve .

XVIII . That the day before His Majesty fell sick at Windsor , she perswaded His Majes●y ( being then in her Lodgings ) to eat a Mess of Broath , prepared by some of her Papist-Servants , whereupon His Majesty fell immediately sick , it being the Opinion of some Able Physicians , that His Majestys Diseases were much augmented , if not wholly created by the aforesaid Broath .

XIX . That during His Majestys sickness , she introduced several unknown persons by a Back-Door to His Majesties Bed-Chamber , who , in all likelihood were Romish-Priests , French Physicians , Agents or Ministers of the French Kings , all which persons could have no honest or lawfull business with His M●jesty , at that time especially , being privately introduced , and His Majesties proper Servants , belonging to his Bed-Chamber being all sent out , except such as were Popishly affected , her Creatures consequently , and her Foot-Men ordered to wait in the Anti-Chamber , as is judged to prevent any bodys hearing or seeing them , as if they had been of His Majesties Bed-Chamber .

XX . That she has by her creatures and friends given out and whispered abroad , that she was married to His Majesty , and that her Son the Duke of Richmond is His Majesties Legitimate Son , and consequently . Prince of Wales , his health being frequently drunk by her and her Creatures , in her Night-Debauches and Merry-Meetings , to the great dishonour and reflection of His Majestys and the manifest peril and danger of these Kingdoms , who may hereafter by such false and scandalous Storys and wicked practises be embroyled in distractions if not in Bloud and Civil Wars , to the utter ruine of His Majesties Subjects , and subversion of the Protestant Religion , it being manifest , she being a Papist her self , will breed her Son in the same Religion however she may pretend to the contrary .

XXI , That she having that high and dishonourable absolute dominion and power over the Kings Heart , she has opportunity to draw from him the secrets of his Government , opportunity by her felf , or other Engines of hers , to poyson , or otherwise , to destroy the King : opportunity , at least , to promote a French Popish interest ; so that it is not only impossible the Protestant Religion should live ; but it s not possible , the King can have a due sence of the dangtr , he was , or may be in , from the Romish Conspiracy , which has , is , or may be against His Royal Person or Government .

XXII . That she has had the highest honours and rewards conferred on her and hers , to the high dishonour of God , the encouragement of Wickedness and Vice ( which by such Examples is overspread the Nation , and for which Gods Anger is kindled and inflamed against us ) suppressing and discouraging of Vertue , whose rewards those high Titles and Honours ought to be , and this to the eternal reproach of His Majesties Reign and Government .
