the Use of the Jesuits; whom he therein assured
that One Thousand Pounds more would suddenly be
collected; and prayed their Order for the returning
of this Money for London. And this Informant further saith, That the said Sir William Andrewes was

the said horrid Conspiracy; and with his own Hands
signed a Receipt for the said Commission, by the Name
of Leverstocke, and wrote the Receipt, which Receipt
was the same Hand-writing with the other Letter
signed William Andrewes. And further at present this
Informant saith not.
"Tit. Oates."
