Defending the English Roman Catholics against the charge of
conspiracy, especially as brought by Titus Oates, being a reply to
Jurieu’s La politique du clergé de France. A second part was later
published. “When it became obvious that the ‘Popish Plot’ was a
gigantic fraud, Arnauld (1612-94), then living in the Netherlands, wrote
his ‘Apologie’, in which he vigorously denounced Southwell, being
under the erroneous impression that the latter was one of Coleman’s
prosecutors … Southwell was able to prove the contrary … (and in) a
letter to Henri Justel, Arnauld apologised somewhat reservedly. “ -
