And in the morning we went to &s;earch for the Lord of <HI>Mackquere</HI> at his lodging, from whence (when we came there) we found he was departed in the morning before day (as was reported) but &s;earching narrowly into his lodgings and roomes, we found &s;e|verall Skaynes, headle&s;&s;e Hatchets, and Ham|mers in abundance, and in the end found him &s;ecretly hid in a Cockloft; And after he was taken, being examined hee denied all, but that he had heard of it before.</P>
<P>Great &s;tore of people were ob&s;erved to be in the Citie that night more then u&s;uall, and the Suburbs was &s;o throng'd with people and &s;trangers, that they put the City in a fright, wherefore we were forced to draw up a Proclamation for all men and &s;trangers what&s;oever to depart the City, or el&s;e to &s;hew good cau&s;e for their &s;tay there; And that all men what&s;oever that had any hand in the Plot &s;hould have a generall Pardon, if now they would come in and confe&s;&s;e their faults, and make any further di&s;cove|ry then was yet knowne.</P>
