<HEAD><HI>GREAT NEWS FROM THE TOWER. OR,</HI> A True and Perfect Relation of the Dreadful end of the Earl of <HI>E&s;&s;ex,</HI> lately committed Pri&s;oner to the Tower, an account of the Horrid Phanatical Plot, again&s;t His Sacred Maje&s;ty, His Royal Highne&s;s, and all Lovers of Monarchy.</HEAD>
<ARGUMENT>
<P>Giving an Account how he was found Murthered in the Tower, about ten of the Clock this in&s;tant Friday, the thirteenth of <HI>July, 1683.</HI></P>
</ARGUMENT>
<P>IT cannot be denied but that this Age has pro|duced as various tran&s;actions (and as &s;tupen|dious too) as any heretofore, and therein has di&s;|cover'd and brought to light the unparalell'd De|&s;igns, and execrable Intentions of the Adorers of <HI>Jack Presbyter,</HI> who (notwith&s;tanding &s;uch unde|niable Te&s;timonies of their Villanies) mu&s;t needs a&s;&s;ume to them&s;elves the Names of <HI>True Prote&s;tants</HI> and <HI>Patriots,</HI> and under &s;uch Hypocritical Di&s;|gui&s;es contrive and imagine &s;uch Trea&s;ons, which as in pa&s;t Ages they could never be paralell'd, (though the&s;e Saviours did their endeavours in the late times) &s;o in all future they can never be
<PB REF="2" MS="y">credited, they are &s;o tran&s;cendently Inhumane and Flagitious.</P>
<P>The&s;e &s;ly Contrivances did not a little in&s;inuate into the <HI>Mobile,</HI> and &s;ome few other of their Crea|tures, but of late (thanks be to God) the Cur|tain is drawn a&s;ide, and every thing appears bare|fac'd, and in its natural hew, by which their hel|li&s;h De&s;igns were defeated and fru&s;trated.</P>
<P>But to come to the matter de&s;ign'd; my Lord having appeared very much dejected &s;ince his Sei|zure and Commitment, he delighted not in Com|pany, but no doubt &s;pent his time in reflecting on his pa&s;t Life, and the ill &s;ucce&s;s that attended &s;uch Actions. This grew &s;o fa&s;t upon him, that on Friday Morning about Ten of the Clock, his Ser|vant had not left him long in his Chamber, but he returned and found him dead, a great Wound having been given in his Throat which reached almo&s;t to each Ear; upon which all the Care ima|ginable was taken for his Recovery, but too late; information of which was immediately di&s;patched to His Maje&s;ty (who together with his Royal Highne&s;s was then viewing the Tower) and after|wards to the Court at the <HI>Old Bailey,</HI> which did not a little a&s;toni&s;h all that heard of it, and may be an Example to all tho&s;e that love their Private Intere&s;ts before that of the Publick; that love only their King but as it is &s;ub&s;ervient to &s;ome Private De&s;ign, and that make it their bu&s;ine&s;s under the cloke of Religion to de&s;troy Kings, and bring to utter Ruin the be&s;t of Governments.</P>
