LXVII Item.

That the Deponent went to the Chamber of the said John Fenwick, who told him, that he was to go to St. O∣mers with some Students thither, (about ten or eleven, as near as the Deponent can remember:) and the said Fenwick was to attend the Provincial, and was to return, as he said, within tenor twelve days, together with Mico and the rest. And whilst the Deponent was with the said Fenwick, a Messenger came in, viz. John Grove, with order from Harcourt Rector of London, John Keines, Richard Blundell, Mr. Jennison, Mr. Wright, Basill Lang∣worth, and four other Jesuits that lay at Somerset house, to pray the Provincial that he would write to Leshee the French King's Confessarius, and give him to understand how well the business in Ireland stood: and that in his Letters to Leshee, he should pray him to certifie the French King thereof. The Deponent asked Grove where those Fathers were met? Who said, they met again at

Mrs. Sanders house. And the Deponent, after he had read the Order or Memorial, (as indeed the Title was) and saw their Names, about two in the Afternoon, went to the house of Mrs. Sanders, where the Deponent saw those Fa∣thers, who told him of the said Order, and after a short stay, took his leave of them; and by them was ordered to meet them at four of the Clock at Mr. Keines his Cham∣ber. And at four of the Clock the Deponent met; where he saw Dr. Fogarty, who shewed him a Letter written to Mr. Bedingfield by his own hand. And likewise the De∣ponent saw Letters from Blundell and John Fenwick, with one from Father Ireland, at St. Omers. That of Dr. Fogarty to Mr. Bedingfield, did contain in it an account of Eighty Letters that were written to the Jesuits in Eng∣land; some of which were delivered to the Post-office in Russel-street; others to the Post-office General; others were sent by private Messengers; and one to Mr. Peters a Jesuit, that liveth now with Sir Charles Shelly in Sussex, that married the Relict of the Baron of Abergaveny: In which the said Peters was ordered to meet the Provincial at London, about the Designe in hand: which if it took not effect at Windsor speedily, then John Keines was to go to Windsor to meet with Coniers, who was designed to go out of Town on the 20th of August with Mr. Ander∣ton to 440, (which number is by them put for Windsor:) And after their business was done in Keines his Chamber, the Deponent left them.
