Whomever recently listed for sale the book about The Popish Plot to the list, probably thinking that in omitting the letter “i” from conspiracy, (conspracy) they could sneak by us; we know they were just trying to reinforce the erasure of the individual. But we know what’s really happening!

> Oates being bound over to appear at the next sessions on a charge of perjury. He fled to London and sought refuge as a naval
> chaplain in 1675 on the ship Adventure bound for Tangier. It was during his visit to Tangier, Oates later claimed, that he
