A TRUE RELATION OF THE POPISH-PLOT AGAINST King CHARLES I. AND THE Protestant Religion.
IF there be any professing the Protestant Religion within His Majesties Dominions, who are yet so wilfully blinded, as not to believe the Reality of the late Conspiracies, or that it has not been a long time carrying on to extirpate the Protestant Religion, reestablish Popery, and inthral the Peo∣ple in all the Three Kingdoms, let them but advisedly fix their Eyes and Minds, upon the Ensuing Letters and Discoveries, and they will easily find Papistical Plots have been no new things in this Nation. To omit their attempts upon King Edward, Queen Elizabeth, and King James, these Papists make it evidently out, that the same Design, and the same Contrivances were on foot in the Reign of o•••• late Sovereign Charles the First, of Blessed Memory; a True Narrative whereof these Sheets contain, as they were found in the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury's Study in the Tower, May 31. 1643.

The first who discover'd it, was an Actor in it, sent hither from Rome, by Cardinal Barbarini, to assist Con, the Pope's Legat, in the pursuit of it, and privy to all the particulars; who being touch'd with remorse of Conscience, for being guilty of so detesta∣ble a Crime, reveal'd the whole Mystery to Sir William Boswell, the King's Leiger Embassador at the Hague, who gave private notice of the same to the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, by whom it was declar'd to the King himself.
