<HEAD>THE JNPEACHMENT AND ARTICLES OF Complaint, again&s;t Father <HI>Philips,</HI> the Queenes Confe&s;&s;or, lately committed to the Tower, by the Honourable, and High Court of Parliament.</HEAD>
<P N="1"><HI>I.</HI> That the &s;aid Father <HI>Philips</HI> hath bin ob&s;erved to be a great cau&s;e, both in him&s;elfe, and his Adherents of a great part of the unquietne&s;&s;e of this State.</P>
<P N="2"><HI>II.</HI> Hee with Par&s;ons, and others their A&s;&s;i&s;tants were the onely cau&s;e, that the Pope was &s;tirred up to &s;end <HI>Breves,</HI> to the&s;e Kingdomes of England, and Scot|land, to hinder the Oath of Allegeance and lawfull O|bedience of the Subjects to our gratious King, that &s;o they may &s;till fi&s;h in troubled waters,</P>
<P N="3"><HI>III.</HI> Of the damnable Doctrine, which he and other Ie|&s;uits have taught, to de&s;troy and depo&s;e Kings, hath bin
<PB REF="3">the cau&s;e of the civill warres, like to befall the&s;e King|domes, if God in his mercy did-not prevent it.</P>
<P N="4"><HI>IV.</HI> They have bin the cau&s;e of the Monopolyes proje|cted in this Kingdmne, e&s;pecially concerning Sope, the Forre&s;t of Deane, and marking of Butter-Casks, where all the parties were partners, and confederates with them, as Sir Ba&s;ill Brooke, Sir Iohn Winter, and a brother in Law of the &s;aid Sir Iohn, that lived in Worce&s;te-&s;hire, and Mr. Ployden, who&s;e Servant named Baldwin, hath bin &s;eene to deliver to Captaine Reade, a &s;ub&s;titute of the Ie&s;uits, an hundred pounds at a time to one Ie&s;uit that lived in his hou&s;e.</P>
<P N="5"><HI>V.</HI> Father Philips hath bin a great Actor with the Superior of the Capuchins, who is a mo&s;t turbulent Spirit, and was &s;ent bi&s;her by Cardinall Richlieu of France, to be a &s;py at this Court, for the French facti|on: and hath therefore laboured by all meanes to br&eacute;ed di&s;&s;en&s;ions; for the French ayme at nothing more then to make a Schi&s;me betwixt the Engli&s;h &amp; the Scots, that this State might &s;o be weakned, and made unable to with&s;tand them: that &s;o they might have an oppor|tunity to conquer the&s;e Kingdomes: the&s;e unquiet &s;pi|rits having acce&s;&s;e to her Maje&s;ty, may importune things not fit for the State.</P>
<P N="6"><HI>VI.</HI> The &s;aid Philips hath bin guided by gray Fry|er, who by degr&eacute;es hath intruded him&s;elfe to be a Clark of her Maje&s;tyes Chappell, and Chaplaine extraordi|nary, in time of Progre&s;&s;e. who when he is out of Lon|don, goeth by the name of M. Wil&s;on, but his true name is William Tomp&s;on, Dr. of Divinity, as &s;ome Ie|&s;uits have affirmed; but a mo&s;t furious &s;pirit, and un|quiet: and therefore by a nick-name, is by &s;ome called
<PB REF="3">Cacafugor that is, as much, as if in Engli&s;h you &s;hould &s;ay, Shit-fire: by whom Fa&s;her Philips hath b&eacute;ens &s;o led, that he hath beene very offitient to perform what|&s;oever he would have done: the&s;e two have ruled all the bu&s;ine&s;&s;e concerning the two Kingdomes on the Papi&s;ts parts, and for the mo&s;t part of <HI>Rome</HI> al&s;o.</P>
<P N="7"><HI>VII.</HI> Vhe &s;aid Father Philips hath placed many un|fit per&s;ons about her Meie&s;ty, Sir <HI>Iohn Winter</HI> to b&eacute;e her Maie&s;ties Secretary; Seignior Gorgeos Conne) late agent of the Pope, his brother, was by his means, admitted to be &s;ervant extraordinar<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> to the Queene; a man altogether unfit for that place; a mo&s;t &s;canda|lous per&s;on having <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">hree wives all now alive.</P>
<P N="8"><HI>VIII,</HI> Sundry per&s;ons by the &s;aid Father Philips have beene admitted to be the Queenes &s;ervants exzraordi|nary, by &s;ome &s;uppo&s;ed office or other: as My&s;ter La|bourne: Oeorge Gage (brother to Colonell Gage) bath both Oratoriant Prie&s;ts, the one of the French faction very &s;editious, he other of the Spani&s;h, whoes brother is now left rea&s;ident at ROME for them by his Ma&s;ter, Ma&s;ter <HI>VVilliam Hambelton</HI> late agen|at ROME-Penrik is &s;worne &s;ervant extraordina|ry to her Maje&s;ty, who is a &s;worne Spaniard, and int+telligencer for ROME, in re&s;pect his brother is a|gent here by Father Phillips; the&s;e and many otgers who are factious and turbulent &s;pirits have by Father Philips his meanes received protection from the Queenes Mh je&s;ty.</P>
<P N="9"><HI>IX.</HI> Th<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> &s;aid Philips hath beene much ruled by Sir <HI>Toby Mathewes.</HI> Sir <HI>Iohn Winter</HI> and Ma&s;ter <HI>Walter Mountague.</HI></P>
<P N="10"><PB REF="4">
<HI>X.</HI> He was very forward with his Complices; for the breaking of the Ice to begin the Treaty here for the Popes honours &s;ake; and when &s;ir Robert Doug|las, and Soignior Georgio were nominated, whom h&eacute;e thought mo&s;t fit, Cardinall Richlieu was thought fit|te&s;t to be the man, who &s;hould direct him to begin the Corre&s;pondency betwixt the Pope, and the Qu&eacute;ene; &amp; therefore he was &s;ent to France with many Letters, &amp; from thence he was di&s;patched for Rome, by the Car|dinall: where he was received with great re&s;pect, and after a Viaticke, hee was di&s;patched againe for Eng|land, with &s;ome few &s;mall Gifts, Pictures, Cro&s;&s;es, Agnus Deis, and &s;uch like Popi&s;h &s;tuffe to Father Philips, and other of that Function.</P>
<P N="11"><HI>XI.</HI> The &s;aid Father Philips was the chiefe Agent in Corre&s;pondency with, and bringing in of Seignior Georgio Par&s;ons the oratorian prie&s;t, by wha&s;e directi|on, this Prie&s;t being at Yaris, left wearing of Prie&s;ts Clothes, and went in the habit of a Gentleman: and becau&s;e he had a &s;haven Crowne, therefore he wore a Perriwig, &amp; Father Philips directed all tho&s;e that &s;ent to him, to write to him, as to an Italian Gentleman, de&s;irous to &s;ee the&s;e Kingdoms, and by Father Philips: his direction, he afterwards came hither: who did here continue for the &s;pace of two yeares, practi&s;ing great &amp; dangerous Innovations from place to place. And then having di&s;patched his bu&s;ines, returned to Rome, with great pre&s;ents, from the Catholicks of the greater fort.</P>
<P N="12"><HI>XII.</HI> Whereas it hath plea&s;ed God, to dle&s;&s;e us with a hopefull Prince, to the Comfort of our King and King|dome: yet the &s;aid Father Philips hath attempted to traduce his tender yeares to Popery. But God hath prevented him of his purpo&s;e: and let us pray to God
<PB REF="4">to pre&s;erve that royall Race from Popery, &amp; the whole Land from all Innovation: that our gracious King may rule gloriou&s;ly, and the whole Land live in peace, to the honour of God, and comfort of us all, <HI>Amen.</HI></P>
