A Discovery of the Savoy-Plot; with an Account of the Manner of Seizing and Securing Fourteen Priests and Papists, with great Bundles of Papers, some of which are said to be the late King's Declarations, &c. in Dutchy-Lane near the Savoy.
Licensed, June 17th, 1689.

NOtwithstanding the late Act of Parliament to Banish Papists Ten Miles from the Town and the many other Statutes made against their going to Mass, and to Curb the Insolency of their Pernitious Principles and Practises which they have continually demonstrated against the Government, yet we find that they are so regardless of the Laws, as to continue in open Defiance against them, and to Lurk in every Quarter about the Town, there being such of them who Daily hold their Cabals, where they Consult Notorious Falsehoods on purpose to defame the Government, and broach it for Currant about the Town; but through the Vigilancy of some discerning Protestants, a whole Nest of them was Yesterday in the Afternoon discovered and seized upon in Dutchy-Lane in the Savoy, to the Number of Eleven, all Papists, if not most of them Priests and Jesuits. That English Proverb, When Rogues fall out, Honest Men comes by their Goods; being hereby Verified, for one Mrs. Curtaine a Lodger in Mr. Fitzgeralds House in Dutchy-Lane in the Savoy having some difference with her Land-Lady, took the opportunity to give Information at Court, that a Swarm of Irish Priests, Jesuits and Papists, were privately hatching Mischief in a Vault under Ground in the said Mr. Fitzgeralds House; a Messenger with a Band of Soldiers having first Guarded all the Avenues, entered the said House, and as they were secretly escaping, seized about Eight, but being informed that more were there, they found one hid in the Oven, a Second in a Cubbard, and a Third in a Trunk, and carried them off, with the Master of the House, with all their Books and their Papers, which may prove of dangerous Import, it being said, some of King Jame's Declaration are among them; they also seized one Mr. Somorson, with several others, at his House in the said Lane, and have carried them all for the present, being Fourteen in Number, to the Round-House by the May-Pole in the Strand, and will this Day have them Examined at White-hall, and great Discoveries are expected from it.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
