2. In the first year of his Majesties reign, before he was solemnly anointed and crowned, Watson and Clerk two Romish Priests, conspired with others, some noble men, some Knights, and some Gentlemen, to surprise King James, and Prince Henry, presuming on foreign forces for aid and assistance, thereby to alter religion, and to set up such Officers of State, as they thought best.
