<SALUTE>Loving Brother,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>AS you are full of Commotions in <HI>London,</HI> &s;o are we here with us: For on <HI>Tue&s;day</HI> Night la&s;t, it plea&s;ed God to di&s;cover in <HI>Bury</HI> an horrid Popi&s;h Plot, for the burning, blow|ing up, and de&s;troying of that Town: The Train was laid twice the length of your Alley (which is about thirty yards.) The Inhabitants are now up in Arms, though they had re&s;i|&s;tance made them by the Papi&s;ts; and in &s;earching their Hou&s;es, three Prote&s;tants were killed, and nine wounded.</P>
<P>At <HI>Sudbury,</HI> about twelve Miles from us, three or four hundred of the Inhabitants have armed them&s;elves in their own Defence, and have &s;earched &s;everal Papi&s;ts Hou&s;es: What will be the Effect of the&s;e things, God only knows.</P>
<P>The inclo&s;ed is a true Copy of a Letter &s;ent from one Papi&s;t to another, and was found in one of their Hou&s;es in <HI>Bury.</HI></P>
<P>The Letter inclo&s;ed.</P>

<SALUTE>Sir,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>The&s;e are to de&s;ire you to be very careful and &s;peedy in getting all things ready, and let nothing be wanting for it: We are fearful that the Hereticks will have their Work done at once: Our Lady <HI>Mary</HI> hath made Interce&s;&s;ion with God to &s;uffer this work to go on, if we be not betrayed, your Town being publick, and &s;o many eyes about; therefore I pray you be careful, and encourage all our Friends in this great and meritorious Work, that they pro|vide for this great and fatal Blow; and I &s;hall ever remain,</P>
<CLOSER><SIGNED>Your faithful Friend to &s;erve you, <HI>John Daniel.</HI></SIGNED></CLOSER>
