ATTESTATION. G. Of Mr. Stange. Concerning tumults in Scotland, Burnings of London. &c.
WHereas Titus Oates in his Narratiue, through many §§. most falsly, & injuriously slanders me, Richard Strange, of many treasonable, & horrid Proceedings, in vindication of my Innocency from them all, J do by these in the sight of God, & vpon the word of a Preist, & Religious man, & by all that is sacred, testify, & assert that nether in the generality of them, nor in any one Particular, there is not one tru word, much lesse Deposition: & I take it vpon my Saluation, that I neuer treated with the sayd Titus Oates in all my life about any Matters of such a Nature.
And to descend to Particulars: whereas he says §. 1. that I. Ric. Strange writ a Letter to F. Swiman, or Sweeteman in Spain, about the embroyling of Scotland, & sending some thither for that end: I call God to witnesse, there is not one word tru, As nether in the 4 §. where he deposes, that the Prouincial of New-Castile writ to F. I. K. & me, that if the King could be dispatcht, we should haue 10000. l. for our paines. As also what is contained in the former §. 7. of which, as to the one, or the other, or any part of them, not one word of Truth.
Item, what he deposes §. 11. of a Letter sent by me the sayd R. Str. & others of the Society at London, to those at S. Omers about stirring vp the Presbiteriam in Scotland, & all the other Riff Raff, of that §. is as false, as any thing the Deuil euer spoke.
Item, what he deposes in the 9. §. of a Letter writ by me, & others, of an intent to stab the King at Whitehall to the FF. at S. Omers: or by a Physitian to Poyson him: & what he writes §. 13. of another Letter sent to S. Omers, for F. Leshee, about aduancing, & designing the Death of the K & his R. H.
Item, what he deposes, §§. 34. & 49. so long, & lowd with Lyes, about the burning of London, & Southwarke, by the sayd Ric. Str. what hand he had in it, &
