| | Dolmetsch Online - Colonel Thomas Blood |
 | | Blood advanced the expected day to 5 March, notwithstanding his knowing of the betrayal, but Blood's brother-in-law, one Lackie, a minister, was, with many others, apprehended the day before, tried, convicted, and executed. |
 | | Blood made an attempt to rescue Lackie, but after that failure, he kept out of reach, not withstanding the Duke of Ormonde and the Earl of Orrery laboured to have him secured, and a proclamation was published by the former, with the promise of an ample reward for apprehending him. |
 | | Blood and his accomplices were now advanced beyond the main-guard; but the alarm being given to the warder at the drawbridge, he put himself in a posture to stop their progress. |
