How did cecil help the gunpowder plot?

Some people believe that Cecil wanted the plotters to be caught in the act of blowing up parliament. An anonymous letter was sent to Lord Monteagle (a Catholic) warning him to skip Parliament. This letter was kept for a week until Robert Cecil showed it to James I and they searched the cellars. A fortnight before Guy Fawkes was discovered, Cecil wrote to James I's servant saying this: “I spend my time in sowing so much seed as my poor wretched fingers can scatter, in such a season as may bring forth a plentiful harvest. I dare boldly say no shower or storm shall mar our harvest except it should come from beyond the middle region.” The plotters were from the Midlands ( middle regions).

Who sent the monteagle letter?

My Lord, out of the love I bear to some of your friends, I have a care of your preservation. Therefore I would advise you, as you tender your life, to devise some escape, to shift your attendance at this parliament. For God and man have concurred to punish the wickedness of this time and think not slightly of this advertisement but retire yourself into your country where you may espy of the event in safety. For though there be no appearance of any stir yet I say they shall receive a terrible blow this parliament and yet they shall not see who hurts them. This counsel is not to be condemned because it may do you good and can do you no harm for the danger is passed as soon as you have burned the letter and I hope God will give you the grace to make good use of it to whose holy protection I commend you.To the right honourable the Lord Monteagle
