Lestrange had published his own account of the Plot, dismissing the accusations of Titus Oats as lacking real substantive evidence and pleading for an end to the Hysteria. Care gives considerable time to outlining the history of Papish actions in England from the Marian persecutions to the Gunpowder plot, as justification for the fears around a Catholc Monarch. While the Plot itself was indeed a fabrication, it sparked the Exclusion Crisis and eventually, James II would be forced into exile while William and Mary became co-regent.
