Ecclesiastical History of England, Volume 5—The Church of the Revolution

Note 222 — Chapter VIII

Reading edition

See “A relation of the late wicked contrivance of Stephen Blackhead and Robert Young, against the lives of several persons by forging an association under their hands, written by the Bishop of Rochester. In two parts: the first part being a relation of what passed at the three examinations of the said Bishop by a Committee of Lords of the Privy Council; the second being an account of the two above-mentioned authors of the forgery.” In the Savoy, 1692.—Harleian Missal (4to.) vi. 198.

Blackhead and Young seem to have been thorough-paced villains.
