This 38-page pamphlet, printed in London by John Gain for Randal Taylor in 1680, details the testimony of Francisco de Faria, interpreter and secretary to the Portuguese ambassador. De Faria's sworn statements relate to the Popish Plot, a supposed Catholic conspiracy to overthrow the English government. The pamphlet includes a title page and two pages of preface. It was originally possibly bound with, and removed from, *Memorial Toward the Discovery of the Bottom of this Popifh-PLOT*. This copy was sold in pieces and purchased separately. This pamphlet offers biographical information about de Faria, who was born in Pernambuco, Brazil in 1653 to Jewish parents, and details his travels and linguistic abilities.
