The depositions of the ever-memorable Dr. Titus Oates, Against the Reverend Mr. Adam Elliot, A Minister of the Church of England, whom he falsly accus'd on oath, of being a Jesuit, and a circumcis'd Mahometan. With an account of the Doctor's trial and Conviction for Defamation, at the Suit of the said Mr. Elliot: Proving the Doctor wilfully forsworn in several Instances. A piece necessary to be bound up with the State trials, and to be perus'd by all who would have a just Notion of several of the dark Transactions of that Time; and of that famous Doctor's Abilities as an Evidence; and which having been a principal Occasion of exposing his Wickedness, and bringing on his Prosecution for Perjury, some Years after, is proper to precede his trial in vol. IV. of that Collection. To which is occasionally added, as necessary to justify the Author's Life and Character, a summary, but instructive account of his being taken captive by the rovers of Salle; of their Usage of their Prisoners, as well on Ship-Board as on Land; a Description of the Country; together with the Author's Hardships, and wonderful Escape, &c. The whole written by the author himself; and first publish'd by him in the year 1682.
