He narrowly escapes being sent by William of Orange to sufi'er, along with Payne, the tortures that had been prepared for him in other com pany in the days of the Rye Plot; and when one companion after another has gone to a bloody grave, or mounted to high office, he dies an old man in safety and in poverty.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life of Robert Ferguson, a complex and enigmatic figure who played a significant role in the tumultuous political landscape of 17th and 18th century Britain. While best known as the "Plotter" for his involvement in various conspiracies, Ferguson's story extends far beyond his political machinations. The author traces Ferguson's trajectory from his early life as a Scottish clergyman to his controversial career as a political activist and writer, ultimately exploring the evolution of his religious and political beliefs throughout his life. The book unpacks his intricate web of alliances and betrayals, examining his involvement in the Rye House Plot and its attempted assassination of King Charles II, as well as his later associations with both Whig and Jacobite factions. It also delves into his theological works and explores the contradictions between his religious and political convictions. The book sheds light on a fascinating yet often overlooked figure, offering a unique perspective on the political and religious turmoil that shaped England and Scotland during this era.
