How did James deal with Catholic plots?

?

James took action against the tiny minority of Catholics who continued to plot. After his professions of toleration, they were not happy to find him collecting recusancy fines (for his own financial reasons) 

Bye Plot 1603

A plan to kidnap him and hold him in the Tower of London until he promised greater toleration. This was betrayed to Cecil by a Jesuit priest who was eager to betray their enemies the secular priests.

In the investigation of this, another plot came to light:

Main Plot 1603

Conspirators - two Catholic priests amongst others (nobility too) 

Cobham was to go to Spain and be given money and return via Jersey. They would then decide how to spend the money to achieve their aim of killing James and Prince
