Remember
the
Children
of
Edom
(
O
Lord
)
in
the
day
of
Ierusalem
,
how
they
said
,
Downe
with
it
,
Downe
with
it
,
even
to
the
ground
.
GIve
me
leave
to
begin
the
exercise
of
*
this
day
with
the
words
of
S.
Bernard
,
great
danger
,
wherewith
wee
were
compassed
,
as
upon
this
day
,
or
that
great
deliverance
which
God
hath
wrought
for
us
out
of
that
danger
,
as
upon
this
day
;
Solennitate●
agimus
eamque
praeclaram
,
it
is
a
Festivall
we
celebrate
&
a
great
one
too
.
Quae
tanto
nobis
debet
esse
devotior
,
quanto
est
familiarior
;
as
the
same
Bernard
hath
it
in
his
first
Sermon
;
which
of
all
other
Festivals
is
more
solemnly
and
more
devoutly
to
be
observed
by
us
,
for
that
it
is
more
proper
and
peculiar
to
our
Nation
than
to
any
other
.
Nam
caeteras
quidem
sanctorum
solennitates
(
as
hee
goes
on
there
)
cum
ecclesiis
aliis
habemus
communes
.
The
other
Festivals
and
Holy
dayes
in
memory
of
the
Saints
are
common
to
us
with
many
other
Churches
;
Haec
verò
sic
nobis
est
propria
,
ut
necesse
sit
vel
à
nobis
eam
vel
à
nemine
celebrari
,
but
the
solemnity
of
this
day
is
so
appropriate
to
the
Church
and
state
of
this
Kingdome
,
that
I
know
not
any
Country
in
the
world
that
hath
so
great
cause
to
keepe
it
Holy-day
,
as
we
of
this
Nation
have
.
The
Israelites
,
in
memory
of
their
deliverance
out
of
Egypt
,
from
the
bondage
of
Pharoah
King
of
Egypt
,
were
to
keepe
a
solemne
Holy-day
.
And
Moses
gives
them
a
memento
to
thinke
on
that
day
,
Remember
this
day
in
the
which
yee
came
out
of
Egypt
,
Exod.

And
the
Iewes
afterward
,
in
memory
of
their
delivery
from
the
malice
and
wrath
of
wicked
Haman
,
who
had
appointed
them
all
to
the
slaughter
,
kept
a
Holy-day
with
feasting
and
much
joy
,
yea
,
and
they
promised
that
the
dayes
of
that
anniversary
solemnity
,
called
the
dayes
of
Purim
,
should
bee
remembred
and
kept
throughout
every
generation
.
and
every
family
,
and
every
Province
,
and
every
City
,
even
those
dayes
of
Purim
should
not
faile
among
the
Iewes
,
and
the
memoriall
of
them
should
not
perish
from
their
seed
,
Hest.

Beloved
,
this
dayes
deliverance
,
which
Gods
right
hand
hath
wrought
for
this
Land
,
is
much
like
to
the
delivery
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt
;
for
Rome
is
Egypt
mystically
,
and
so
it
is
called
in
the
Revelation
,
and
we
were
delivered
from
the
bondage
of
Rome
this
day
,
and
wee
were
delivered
from
the
tyranny
of
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
which
yoke
some
of
our
friends
would
have
put
upon
our
neckes
this
day
,
if
they
could
have
had
their
will
;
and
shall
we
not
then
remember
this
day
,
wherin
we
came
out
of
Egypt
?
This
dayes
deliverance
is
much
like
the
deliverance
of
the
Iewes
from
the
wicked
devise
of
Haman
,
the
Iewes
Adversary
.
For
was
there
not
powder
prepared
to
blow
us
up
?
was
there
not
Fire
and
Faggot
provided
to
burne
us
up
?
were
wee
not
all
of
us
as
sheep
appointed
to
the
slaughter
?
and
shall
not
then
this
day
bee
remembred
?
shall
we
suffer
the
memoriall
of
it
to
perish
from
us
or
our
seed
for
ever
?
Oh
no
,
The
Lord
hath
so
done
his
marvelous
workes
as
upon
this
day
,
that
they
ought
to
be
had
in
everlasting
remembrance
.
This
is
the
day
which
the
Lord
hath
made
,
we
will
rejoyce
and
be
glad
in
it
,
Psal.
118.
This
is
a
day
of
the
Lords
owne
making
;
not
as
though
the
Lord
did
not
make
all
the
other
dayes
as
well
as
this
.
Yes
,
(
to
speake
with
Cassiodore
)
Fecit
omnes
,
sed
hanc
singulariter
,
he
hath
made
all
the
dayes
in
the
yeere
,
and
one
day
telleth
to
another
the
goodnesse
of
God
their
Maker
;
but
he
hath
made
this
after
a
singular
manner
,
because
this
day
makes
report
of
a
singular
favour
the
Lord
hath
wrought
for
us
upon
it
;
fecit
totos
,
sed
non
tales
,
he
hath
made
all
the
other
dayes
,
but
he
hath
not
made
them
such
as
this
:
and
therefore
,
seeing
God
hath
set
a
marke
upon
this
day
,
and
given
it
a
preheminence
above
it's
fellowes
,
the
〈◊〉
of
the
daies
of
the
weeke
,
I
except
alwaies
the
Sabbath
as
the
Lords
day
,
but
I
meane
the
rest
of
the
dayes
of
the
weeke
;
Let
no
man
thinke
my
speech
superfluous
,
or
account
this
Preface
I
have
made
as
impertinent
.
For
it
serveth
both
to
rouze
up
the
〈◊〉
and
untowardlinesse
of
some
,
who
have
neither
good
conceit
of
this
or
any
other
〈◊〉
;
and
it
serveth
likewise
to
commend
〈◊〉
and
readinesse
to
assemble
your selves
(
all
other
businesse
set
apart
)
at
this
time
in
Gods
:
House
,
to
keep
this
day
holy
unto
the
Lord
,
as
the
wisdome
of
our
state
hath
decreed
and
the
piety
of
our
Church
hath
well
ordered
.
There
is
none
here
present
,
I
take
it
,
that
can
bee
ignorant
of
the
businesse
of
this
day
,
and
for
what
we
are
met
together
at
this
time
in
the
House
of
God
.
It
is
to
give
God
thanks
,
and
to
continue
a
thankefull
remembrance
of
his
mercy
in
the
deliverance
of
the
whole
Church
and
Kingdome
of
England
,
from
the
most
barbarous
and
bloody
intended
massacre
in
the
Gunpowder
Treason
.
A
Treason
!
(
horresco
referens
)
which
I
can
never
thinke
upon
,
but
it
makes
my
haire
to
stand
on
an
end
,
not
conceiving
in
the
word●
by
what
name
to
expresse
it
,
whether
I
should
call
it
the
miracle
,
or
rather
the
monster
of
all
treachery
,
the
marrow
,
or
rather
the
quintessence
of
all
villany
.
A
Treason
,
so
uncouth
and
unheard-of
;
so
matchlesse
,
and
unpareleled
;
so
prodigious
and
divellish
in
each
respect
,
that
after-ages
may
peradventure
be
so
amazed
at
the
reading
of
it
in
our
Chronicle
,
that
they
will
have
hardly
any
faith
to
beleeve
i●
for
a
true
story
,
but
take
it
onely
for
some
〈◊〉
Poeticum
,
a
devise
to
expresse
some
matchlesse
master-peece
of
treason
;
it
will
scarce
sinke
into
their
heads
,
or
settle
in
their
hearts
,
that
ever
there
should
such
a
divellish
plot
have
been
attempted
or
acted
by
any
that
call
themselves
the
sonnes
of
Adam

But
I
am
not

to
depaint
it
out
unto
you
in
lively
colours
,
according
as
my
desire
is
,
neither
will
the
nature
of
the
thing
suffer
it
;
only
,
because
wee
are
more
sensible
of
such
things
by
the
event
,
give
mee
leave
in
a
Sciagraphie
to
set
before
your
eyes
the
events
that
were
likely
to
have
ensued
upon
this
horrible
treason
,
by
which
,
the
treason
may
be
,
if
not
fully
deciphered
,
yet
in
some
●ort
at
lea●t
shadowed
and
represented
.
Suppose
the
King
and
Queene
with
all
the
Nobles
,
Bishops
and
Iudges
were
assembled
together
in
the
house
of
Parliament
to
consult
and
deliberate
touching
the
weighty
affaires
of
this
Kingdome
,
as
indeed
it
was
appointed
.
And
suppose
then
under
this
house
in
a
Vault
there
were
laid
thirty
Barrels
and
foure
Hogsheads
of
Gunpowder
with
Faggots
and
iron
Barres
upon
them
,
as
there
were
indeed
.
But
now
goe
on
,
and
imagine
the
traine
to
be
laid
the
powder
fired
,
the
terrible
blow
given
,
and
on
a
sudden
imagine
the
whole
building
to
cracke
asunder
,
the
plankes
all
on
a
flame
,
the
beams
and
stones
flying
in
the
ayre
,
the
joynts
and
members
of
all
the
worthies
of
our
Land
,
rent
and
torne
and
scattered
one
from
another
the
walls
of
the
streete
bedawbed
with
mens
braines
,
the
waies
bedewed
with
mens
blood
,
scarcely
so
much
as
one
bone
left
of
a
great
many
for
buriall
.
Then
imagine
you
see
the
Church
adjoyning
as
with
an
earthquake
dejected
,
the
Monuments
of
the
dead
defaced
,
the
Hall
of
Iustice
demolished
,
the
Records
and
Charters
of
the
Kingdome
perished
,
the
whole
circuit
thereabouts
turned
into
smoake
and
rubbish
.
Then
imagine
you
see
the
City
in
an
uprore
,
the
Country
in
perplexity
,
the
Papists
every
where
up
in
armes
,
the
Spaniard
with
his
forces
landing
upon
your
coasts
ready
to
joyne
with
them
,
your
houses
rifled
,
your
goods
spoyled
,
your
Maidens
ravished
,
your
Wives
abused
,
your
Children
slaughtered
;
Gods
Temple
profaned
,
the
Kings
authority
debased
,
the
Popes
power
advanced
,
the
pure
preaching
of
the
Word
abolished
,
the
Idolatrous
superstition
of
the
Masse
established
.
Truely
all
these
consequents
,
and
farre
worse
,
if
I
were
able
to
expresse
them
,
would
have
followed
upon
that
vile
and
transcendent
treason
,
if
it
had
taken
effect
.
The
face
of
all
things
would
have
been
quite
altered
,
and
the
whole
Kingdome
turn'd
topsy
turvy
.
Caligula
wished
that
all
the
people
of
Rome
had
had
but
one
necke
,
that
hee
might
have
smit
it
asunder
at
one
blow
.
Truely
in
this
Treason
the
necke
of
our
whole
State
,
If
the
Lord
himselfe
had
not
been
on
our
side
,
now
may
Israel
say
,
if
the
Lord
himselfe
had
not
beene
on
our
side
when
men
rose
up
against
us
,
they
had
swallowed
us
up
quicke
when
they
were
so
wrathfully
displeased
with
us
;
the
waters
had
drowned
us
,
and
the
streames
had
gone
over
our
soules
,
the
deepe
waters
of
the
proud
had
gone
even
over
our
soule
.
But
praised
be
God
which
hath
not
given
us
over
as
a
prey
unto
their
tee●h
.
Our
soule
is
escaped
even
as
the
Bird
out
of
the
snare
of
the
Fowler
;
the
snare
is
broken
and
our
soule
is
delivered
,
and
our
helpe
standeth
in
the
Name
of
the
LORD
which
made
Heaven
and
earth
,
Psal.

a
most
sit
Psalme
to
be
sung
at
this
solemnity
.
So
now
,
having
prepared
your
hearts
and
possessed
your
mindes
with
the
proper
businesse
of
this
day
,
I
will
with
your
favour
descend
to
the
handling
of
this
place
of
Scripture
which
I
have
read
for
my
Text
,
sutable
,
as
I
take
it
,
Remember
the
Children
of
Edom
,
ô
Lord
,
&c.
This
Psalme
is
very
patheticall
,
full
of
passions
and
affectionate
passages
.
For
the
first
,
hee
prayes
God
to
remember
them
.
Remember
the
Children
of
Edom
,
O
Lord
.
Remember
them
.
Thus
wee
see
the
Psalmist
prayeth
in
divers
Psalmes
,
as
Psal.
69.
22.
Let
their
Table
be
a
snare
unto
them
,
and
let
their
prosperity
bee
their
ruine
.
Let
their
eyes
bee
darke
,
and
powre
out
them
agen
,
&c.
and
so
in
the
54.
Psal.
5.
He
shall
reward
evill
unto
mine
enemies
,
destroy
thou
them
in
thy
truth
:
and
so
,
in
many
other
Psalmes
you
have
the
like
direfull
imprecations
.
Whereupon
there
falleth
in
here
a
question
to
bee
answered
:
Love
your
enemies
,
blesse
them
that
curse
you
,
do
good
to
them
that
hate
you
,
and
pray
for
them
that
persecute
you
.
If
we
must
pray
for
our
enemies
,
why
doe
the
Saints
pray
against
them
?
if
wee
must
doe
them
good
,
why
do
the
Saints
wish
them
evil
?
if
wee
must
blesse
them
,
why
doe
the
Saints
so
eagerly
curse
them
?
if
wee
must
love
them
,
why
doe
the
Saints
expresse
such
an
extreame
and
deadly
hatred
against
them
?
glory
of
God
and
the
conservation
thereof
;
the
quarrel
that
they
have
with
these
men
is
not
private
but
publike
;
neither
doe
they
curse
them
because
they
are
their
enemies
,
but
because
they
are
Gods
enemies
,
and
the
enemies
of
GODS
Church
.
Secondly
,
in
all
these
imprecations
the
Saints
of
GOD
are
not
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
such
as
take
delight
in
other
mens
destruction
,
and
rejoyce
themselves
in
seeing
evill
befall
other
men
;
for
they
doe
not
wish
these
judgements
to
befall
upon
their
enemies
out
of
any
spite
or
spleene
or
thirsty
desire
of
revenge
,
but
because
they
understand
by
this
meanes
the
glory
of
GODS
Iustice
is
to
be
made
manifest
before
the
faces
of
the
children
of
men
.
God
will
have
his
glory
even
of
sinners
;
either
in
their
salvation
,
if
they
turne
unto
him
;
or
in
their
confusion
,
if
they
continue
obstinate
.
In
the
salvation
of
sinners
the
mercy
of
GOD
carries
away
the
glory
,
〈◊〉
the
confusion
of
sinners
the
glory
reflects
upon
Gods
justice
.
It
is
true
,
GOD
delighteth
not
in
the
death
of
any
sinner
;
neither
will
hee
have
any
of
his
Saints
to
take
delight
in
the
destruction
of
any
wicked
man
:
but
God
desireth
the
glory
of
his
justice
to
be
manifest
,
and
the
Saints
of
God
may
desire
that
the
glory
of
GODS
justice
may
be
made
manifest
,
though
it
be
by
the
death
and
destruction
of
wretched
and
unrepentant
sinners
.
Thirdly
,
in
all
these
imprecations
wee
are
not
to
thinke
that
the
Saints
of
God
were
carried
away
with
the
fire
and
fury
of
some
preposterous
zeale
;
but
led
and
directed
by
the
discerning
prudence
of
a
propheticall
spirit
,
did
curse
and
devove
not
every
enemy
,
but
those
whom
they
knew
GOD
had
set
a
marke
upon
,
as
upon
Caine
,
and
utterly
rejected
from
the
society
and
company
of
his
Elect
Children
.
Lastly
,
wee
must
know
,
as
Saint
Augustine
hath
observed
,
that
these
imprecations
are
not
onely
prayers
but
prophecies
,
being
indeed
prophetical
denuntiations
of
those
fearefull
judgements
which
should
certainly
overtake
and
overthrow
all
the
enemies
of
God
and
his
Church
without
repentance
;
and
therefore
in
all
these
imprecations
,
as
the
affection
is
not
at
all
distempered
,
so
neither
is
there
any
violation
of
patience
,
any
branch
of
charity
,
any
neglect
of
the
precept
of
Christ
.
Now
for
the
second
branch
of
the
question
,
what
is
lawfull
for
us
to
doe
in
this
case
,
Achitophel
,

Sam.

And
by
the
example
of
the
blessed
Apostles
,
who
prayed
against
the
plots
and
practices
of
Herod
,
and
Pilate
and
the
Pharisees
to
stop
the
current
of
the
Gospell
,
Acts
4.
29.
As
touching
the
persons
of
our
enemies
,
wee
are
to
note
this
distinction
:
Some
are
private
enemies
,
some
are
publike
.
If
they
bee
private
enemies
onely
,
we
must
distinguish
betwixt
their
nature
and
their
sinne
:
Their
sinne
we
may
pray
against
;
Yea
,
I
will
pray
yet
against
their
wickednesse
;
but
their
nature
,
we
must
not
wish
evill
unto
it
,
wee
may
love
the
man
and
hate
his
sinne
;
and
howsoever
it
is
a
man
a
sinner
that
I
hate
and
pray
against
,
yet
it
is
not
qu●
homo
,
as
he
is
a
man
,
but
qua
peccator
,
as
he
is
a
sinner
.
For
here
Saint
Augustines
rule
is
good
,
Omnis
peccator
,
in
quantum
peccator
,
non
es●
diligendus
;
no
sinnefull
person
,
as
hee
is
sinnefull
,
is
to
be
loved
of
us
;

The
sinne
even
of
our
private
enemy
wee
may
hate
and
pray
against
,
but
for
his
nature
,
the
man
himselfe
,
we
must
be
so
farre
from
hating
him
,
that
we
must
love
him
,
and
we
must
be
so
farre
from
wishing
him
evill
,
that
we
must
bee
ready
to
doe
him
all
the
good
we
can
,
as
our
Saviour
commanded
in
his
Sermon
upon
the
Mount
,
Mat.
5.
44.
and
the
blessed
Apostle
injoyneth
Rom.

20.
These
are
our
private
enemies
.
But
if
our
enemies
be
publike
,
that
is
,
if
they
be
not
onely
our
enemies
,
but
the
enemies
of
God
and
his
Church
,
the
enemies
of
the
truth
of
God
,
and
of
the
Religion
in
the
Church
,
then
wee
may
curse
them
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
and
pray
against
them
,
according
to
the
example
of
the
Saints
of
God
,
but
yet
I
pray
you
here
take
this
Proviso
.
Those
publike
enemies
of
GOD
and
the
Church
are
of
two
sorts
,
either
they
be
incorrigible
,
and
incurable
:
or
they
be
curable
,
and
such
whereof
ther●
may
be
some
good
hope
of
amendment
,
where
there
is
hope
of
repentance
and
amendment
,
we
must
not
pray
against
such
,
but
for
such
,
wee
must
beg
of
God
their
conversion
,
as
we
see
Christ
prayed
for
his
enemies
upon
the
Crosse
Father
,
forgive
them
,
Luke
23.
34.
and
the
Protomartyr
Saint
Stephen
prayed
for
his
enemies
at
the
last
gaspe
,
Lord
,
lay
not
this
si●
to
their
charge
,
Acts
7.
60.
And
so
doth
the
Prophet
David
in
divers
Psalmes
;
in
one
hee
saith
,
Fill
their
faces
with
shame
,
O
Lord
,
that
they
may
seeke
thy
name
,
he
prayes
that
God
would
let
them
come
to
a
sight
of
their
sinne
,
and
be
ashamed
thereat
,
and
so
be
driven
to
seeke
unto
God
for
mercy
;
and
in
another
〈◊〉
he
saith
,
Let
their
Iudges
be
everthrowne
in
stony
places
,
that
they
may
heare
my
words
,
for
they
are
sweet
;
hee
prayes
that
God
would
send
some
fatherly
chastisement
and
correction
upon
the
chiefest
of
his
enemies
,
that
by
the
consideration
of
Gods
Ro●
displing
of
them
,
they
may
be
made
to
hearken
unto
Gods
Word
obediently
,
and
to
relish
it
well
in
their
palates
.
All
this
must
be
done
,
where
there
is
any
hope
;
but
where
there
is
no
hope
left
of
amendment
,
when
they
are
become
obstinate
and
obdurate
in
sinne
,
desperate
and
incorrigible
,
when
men
are
given
up
of
God
to
a
reprobate
sense
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
and
to
offend
of
meere
malic●o●s
wickednesse
,
as
the
Psalmist
speaketh
;
〈◊〉
this
case
wee
may
pray
against
them
,
and
be
seech
God
to
bring
them
to
a
speedy
confusion
and
destruction
,
both
for
the
ma●●festatio●
of
the
Glory
of
his
justice
,
and
the
deliveran●
of
his
poore
Church
from
their
divellish
ma●
chinations
.
And
such
were
these
enemies
spoken
of
in
the
Text
,
as
shall
appeare
by
the
description
,
which
is
the
second
generall
,
and
which
wee
are
now
by
the
helpe
of
GOD
〈◊〉
enter
upon
,
Remember
the
Children
of
Edom
,
&c.
There
is
in
this
Psalme
mention
made
〈◊〉
two
sorts
of
enemies
,
the
Children
of
Edom
and
the
Daughter
of
Babylon
.
And
agai●
Interpretatur

〈◊〉
&

August
.
in
Psal.
136.
And
I
grant
that
the
Text
is
principally
meant
of
the
Edomites
and
Babylonians
which
afflicted
Ierusalem
,
or
the
Church
of
the
Iewes
then
,
in
their
sore
captivity
;
for
to
those
dayes
this
Psalme
hath
reference
:
But
yet
,
as
I
take
it
,
it
reacheth
farther
,
and
may
very
fitly
be
applyed
even
to
all
such
as
bandy
themselves
against
the
Church
of
God
in
any
age
,
or
at
any
time
whatsoever
.
So
that
upon
this
reckoning
,
the
Powder-Traytors
,
above
twenty
yeeres
agoe
,
were
these
Edomites
,
and
that
scarlet
Whore
of
Rome
,
was
this
Daughter
of
Babylon
;
as
both
our
Church
signifies
not
obscurely
in
the
first
Collect
of
the
Service
for
this
day
,
having
relation
to
this
Psalme
,
and
as
I
trust
to
make
it
plain
unto
you
in
my
following
discourse
.
For
the
better
conceiving
of
this
,
take
a
distinction
:
There
are
three
sorts
of
Children
I
meet
withall
in
holy
Writ
.
1.
Children
by
naturall
generation
.
2.
Children
by
spirituall
adoption
.
3.
Children
by
morall
imitation
.
1.
By
the
naturall
course
of
generation
,
so
wee
are
the
Children
of
our
naturall
parents
which
begat
us
.
2.
By
the
grace
of
spirituall
adoption
,
so
the
Elect
and
servants
of
GOD
are
called
the
Children
of
God
.
3.
By
the
likenesse
of
morall
imitation
,
and
that
two
wayes
,
either
in
good
,
or
in
evill
;
in
good
,
so
the
faithfull
are
said
to
be
the
Children
of
Abraham
;
being
followers
of
the
faith
of
Abraham
;
in
evill
,
so
the
wicked
miscreants
of
the
world
and
enemies
of
the
Church
may
be
said
to
be
the
Children
of
Edom
,
being
imitators
of
Edoms
sinnes
and
wretched
courses
.
Now
there
are
two
things
in
Edom
,
especially
to
be
observed
,
wherein
his
posterity
doe
imitate
him
,
and
walke
directly
in
his
steps
;
the
first
is
carnality
,
the
second
is
cruelty
;
of
both
these
in
their
order
.
For
the
first
;
Edom
which
is
Esau
you
know
was
a
carnall
man
,
a
man
al●gether
addicted
to
his
belly
cheare
,
prefer●ing
it
to
his
Birth-right
,
for
hee
sould
his
Birth-right
for
a
messe
of
Pottage
;
and
upon
this
the
Author
of
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrewes
gives
him
the
Title
of
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
profane
fellow
,
Heb.
12.
16.
So
these
Children
of
Edom
,
they
are
a
company
of
carnall
men
,
little
carefull
of
the
maine
,
but
altogether
taken
up
with
the
profits
and
pleasures
of
this
life
.
This
is
true
whether
wee
understand
it
of
Worldlings
in
generall
,
who
are
out
of
the
Church
,
and
so
are
enemies
unto
it
,
or
of
the
Popish
faction
in
particular
,
who
,
under
the
cloake
and
colour
of
the
Church
,
doe
persecute
the
Church
and
waste
it
extremely
.
As
for
Worldlings
generally
their
carnality
is
too
well
knowne
,
they
are
just
of
the
humour
of
the
rich
Glutton
in
the
Gospell
,
to
climbe
to
great
wealth
,
and
to
be
richly
clad
,
and
to
fare
deliciously
every
day
,
and
to
say
to
their
soule
,
Soule
,
thou
hast
much
goods
laid
up
for
many
yeeres
;
Ede
,
bibe
,
lud●
,
post
mortem
nulla
voluptas
,
Eat
,
drinke
,
and
take
thy
pastime
.
God
fils
their
bellies
with
his
hid
treasure
,
and
in
these
earthly
things
they
hug
themselves
,
little
caring
to
enter
into
the
heavenly
Canaan
,
they
plant
themselves
here
,
and
set
up
their
rest
on
this
side
the
River
,
for
they
have
their
portion
in
this
life
;
whereas
contrarily
the
Saints
of
God
are
Citizens
of
heaven
,
in
this
world
they
are
but
strangers
and
pilgrims
.
A●d
this
is
the
reason
why
the
world
hateth
them
,
and
why
these
carnall
men
of
the
wo●ld
persecute
them
;
even
because
they
are
contrary
unto
them
,
because
they
are
strangers
to
their
sinfull
courses
.
So
saith
our
Saviour
,
If
you
were
of
the
world
,
the
world
would
love
his
own
,
but
I
have
chosen
you
out
of
the
world
,
therefore
the
world
hateth
you
,
Ioh.

19.
As
touching
the
Popish
faction
,
I
meane
those
that
addict
themselves
to
the
Pope
and
make
it
there
onely
study
to
hold
up
and
inlarge
the
Sathanicall
pompe
and
pride
,
the
Sardanapalicall
riot
and
luxury
of
that
man
of
sinne
and
his
rablement
;
I
say
they
are
carnall
and
fleshly
minded
men
.
What
other
manner
of
persons
I
pray
you
were
those
,
that
had
their
hands
●oule
in
the
gunpowder-treason
?
I
come
not
here
to
blazon
their
works
,
or
to
set
ou●
the
story
of
their
lives
.
This
I
am
sure
of
,
that
the
arch-Traytor
Garnet
,
the
Priest
,
was
noted
for
an
ambitious
fellow
,
aiming
at
a
Cardinals
Hat
,
&
such
an
one
as
did
indulgere
genio
,
love
his
belly
too
wel
,
&
such
an
one
as
would
often
use
to
sacrifice
to
Bacchus
,
being
very
usually
cup
shotten
;
yea
,
the
very
night
before
he
was
to
be
executed
,
(
mark
the
holines
of
this
stramineous
Saint
)
the
very
night
,
I
say
,
before
his
execution
,
hee
was
observed
to
be
as
drunke
as
a
begger
,
and
so
sottish
that
hee
could
not
speake
a
wise
word
,
Bishop
of
Salisbury
relates
it
out
of
the
mouth
of
faithfull
witnesses
in
his
Antilogia
,
written
against
Eudaemon
Iohannes
,
the
Grecian
Bishop
.
The
Religion
of
Popery
,
as
it
is
most
agreeable
to
the
corrupt
nature
of
man
,
so
I
verily
thinke
,
there
is
not
any
religion
in
the
world
,
except
it
be
Mahometisme
,
the
yonger
sister
to
Papisme
that
gives
more
way
to
the
flesh
,
and
opens
2
greater
gap
to
sensuality
and
carnality
and
all
manner
of
licentiousnesse
,
than
the
Doctrine
of
Popery
doth
,
as
it
is
taught
in
these
dayes
.
Witnesse
first
,
their
doctrine
of
dispensations
,
whereby
they
teach
that
the
Pope
hath
power
to
dispence
with
the
Word
of
God
,
doctrine
of
Pardons
and
indulgences
,
which
are
impudent
and
shameles
.
Their
taxa
poenitentaria
Apostolica
,
whereby
impurity
is
granted
to
every
sinner
and
pardon
for
every
sin
,
be
it
never
so
grievous
,
so
be
that
the
party
payeth
according
to
the
rate
of
absolution
hee
is
taxed
upon
that
score
,
shall
stand
as
a
sufficient
witnesse
against
them
in
this
point
.
Now
is
not
this
a
doctrine
of
licentiousnesse
?
when
they
make
sinne
but
a
money-matter
,
nay
more
,
when
for
bowing
the
head
,
or
saying
over
a
short
prayer
,
visiting
a
Church
,
creeping
to
a
crosse
,
wearing
a
crucifixe
,
and
the
like
,
pardon
may
be
purchased
for
sinnes
without
number
,
and
that
for
yeeres
without
number
.
Witnesse
thirdly
,
their
doctrine
of
auricular
confession
,
the
practice
whereof
what
a
gap
to
uncleannesse
it
opened
,
Nectarius
Bishop
of
Constantinople
saw
well
,
when
he
banished
it
out
of
his
Church
,
as
the
Tripartite
story
sheweth
,
and
Agrippa
likewise
testifieth
,
when
hee
cals
it
genus
quoddam
lenocinii
,
a
Bawd
to
uncleannesse
;
for
that
Priests
and
Friers
,
having
hereby
under
pretence
of
Religion
free
accesse
unto
women
,
it
falleth
out
many
times
that
whose
soules
they
should
gaine
to
God
,
their
bodies
they
do
sacrifice
to
the
divell
.
Witnesse
fourthly
,
their
doctrine
of
constrained
chastity
and
prohibiting
of
marriage
,
which
Saint
Paul
calls
the
doctrine
of
of
Divels
.
Paphnutius
a
good
Bishop
saw
well
what
cause
of
horrible
impurity
and
〈◊〉
it
was
like
to
be
,
and
therefore
hee
very
stoutly
opposed
the
decree
of
constrained
single
life
made
in
the
Nicene
Councell
,
and
all
the
Fathers
in
that
Councell
,
pondring
his
reasons
,
were
willing
to
forgoe
their
owne
and
yeeld
to
his
judgement
,
and
so
revoked
the
decree
,
as
is
plaine
by
the
story
.
But
Gregorius
Magnus
had
a
more
full
insight
into
this
matter
,
when
the
heads
of
more
than
6000.
Infants
were
raked
out
of
a
pond
before
his
face
,
which
made
him
confesse
his
errour
in
tying
Priests
to
a
single
life
,
and
commend
the
Apostles
advice
,
It
is
better
to
marry
than
to
burne
;
and
hee
added
moreover
,
It
is
better
to
marry
than
to
give
occasion
to
such
abominable
murther
.
Witnesse
fifthly
,
their
doctrine
of
veniall
sins
,
giving
manifest
occasion
of
liberty
to
the
professors
thereof
.
It
is
too
plain
it
needs
no
proving
.
Witnesse
sixthly
,
their
doctrine
of
implicit
faith
and
ignorance
,
which
they
call
the
mother
of
devotion
,
and
debarring
of
the
people
from
reading
the
holy
Word
of
God
.
This
cannot
choose
but
bee
occasion
of
great
licentiousnesse
;
for
as
Chrysostome
●aith
well
,
Scripturarum
ignoratio
baereses
peperit
,
vitam
corruptam
invexit
,
sursum
&
deorsum
omnia
miscuit
,
the
ignorance
of
the
Scriptures
hath
bred
heresies
,
brought
in
corruption
of
life
,
and
turned
all
things
up
side
downe
.
What
should
I
tell
you
of
Rome
it selfe
,
the
holy
mother
of
these
holy
doctrines
?
In
what
place
of
the
world
is
there
more
impiety
,
cruelty
,
atheisme
,
impurity
,
poysoning
,
treachery
,
and
all
manner
of
villany
reigning
,
than
in
Rome
under
his
Holinesse
his
nose
?
Did
not
Mantuan
one
of
their
Poets
say
of
old
,
Vrbs
est
jam
tota
lupanar
?
Did
not
the
smell
of
Romes
filthinesse
offend
Saint
Katharines
nose
,
when
she
complained
that
in
the
Court
of
Rome
,
where
should
be
a
delicate
paradise
of
vertues
,
shee
found
a
stinke
of
hellish
vices
?
But
you
will
say
,
this
was
in
diebus
illis
,
the
times
are
now
changed
,
and
perhaps
there
is
a
change
and
reformation
in
Rome
.
No
such
matter
,
but
rather
worse
;
did
not
D
D.
Redman
,
in
the
Booke
of
Martyrs
,
being
demanded
his
judgement
of
Rome
,
say
it
was
sentina
malorum
,
the
very
sinke
of
all
sinne
!
The
Trent
Councell
indeed
did
promise
a
reformation
;
but
after
that
was
broke
up
,
see
how
Claud.
Espencaeus
a
Bishop
of
their
own
complaineth
;
Al
hope
of
reformation
,
saith
hee
,
is
taken
away
;
where
under
the
Sun
is
greater
licentiousnesse
,
cl●mour
,
impurity
,
I
will
not
say
madnesse
and
impudence
,
than
in
the
City
of
Rome
?
Such
&
so
great
,
as
none
can
beleeve
,
but
hee
which
hath
seen
it
,
none
can
deny
but
he
which
hath
not
seen
it
.
The
Romanists
quarrel
with
us
,
&
complain
much
against
the
profanenes
and
uncleannesse
of
our
Religion
.
But
if
the
Whore
of
Babylon
and
her
adherents
had
not
brazen
fore-heads
,
they
would
for
shame
cease
to
accuse
us
,
and
assume
the
aspersion
upon
themselves
,
being
farre
more
guilty
,
and
their
Religion
directly
tending
thereunto
,
as
I
trust
I
have
sufficiently
proved
.
And
so
from
the
carnality
of
these
Edomites
,
I
come
to
their
cruelty
,
In
generall
note
but
this
:
Edom
,
that
is
,
Esa●
was
a
cruell
man
,
the
Text
saith
,
Hee
tooke
heart
against
his
Brother
Iacob
and
sought
to
kill
him
.
As
Edom
dealt
with
Israel
,
so
dealt
the
Edomites
with
the
Israelites
,
we
find
they
were
alwaies
bent
against
them
,
they
bore
them
a
deadly
grudge
,
and
when
they
got
an
opportunity
they
would
vent
it
.
What
cruell
and
bloody
hearted
men
the
whole
race
of
the
Edomites
were
,
and
so
forth
out
.
Now
this
is
true
not
only
of
the
Idumaeans
,
the
sonnes
of
Edom
in
naturality
,
but
it
is
true
of
all
other
Idumaeans
,
the
enemies
of
Gods
Church
,
which
are
the
sonnes
of
Edom
in
morality
;
whether
they
be
meere
Atheisticall
worldlings
,
or
wretched
Antichristian
Papists
,
they
are
a
company
of
malicious
,
bloody
,
cruell
hearted
people
against
Gods
servants
.
First
,
for
the
men
of
this
world
,
how
hard-hearted
and
cruelly
fierce
they
have
beene
against
the
children
of
the
Church
,
the
stories
of
all
ages
doe
most
sufficiently
witnesse
;
but
especially
the
holy
Scriptures
;
wherein
by
certaine
resemblances
of
them
to
the
most
fierce
and
revengefull
beaits
and
creatures
that
are
,
the
holy
Ghost
would
not
obscurely
lay
open
the
malice
and
wrathfull
cruelty
of
these
men
.
Sometime
they
are
called
Bulls
,
Many
young
Buls
are
come
about
mee
,
fat
Bulls
of
Basan
close
mee
in
;
sometime
Lions
,
They
came
upon
mee
with
open
mouth
,
as
it
had
beene
a
ramping
and
a
roaring
Lion
;
sometime
Dogges
,
Deliver
my
Darling
from
the
power
of
the
dogge
;
sometime
Bees
,
They
came
about
mee
like
Bees
;
sometime
Scorpions
,
Now
thy
habitation
is
among
Scorpions
.
All
these
are
wrathfull
,
fierce
,
revengefull
,
cruell
creatures
.
Such
are
the
wicked
of
the
world
what
should
I
tell
you
of
the
primitive
time
,
and
that
firy
tryall
of
Gods
Saints
under
the
most
barbarous
and
bloody
persecutions
?
what
rewards
were
proposed
to
them
that
could
invent
and
devise
the
most
uncouth
and
cruell
torments
?
and
what
tortures
could
either
man
or
divell
devise
which
were
not
put
upon
the
faithfull
Christians
,
who
then
in
a
manner
dyed
all
most
glorious
witnesses
of
the
truth
,
which
they
sealed
with
their
blood
.
Some
of
them
were
racked
,
some
were
tryed
by
mockings
and
scourgings
,
by
bond
and
imprisonment
;
they
were
stoned
,
they
were
hewen
a-sunder
,
they
were
slaine
with
the
sword
,
&c.
Heb.
11.
35.
&c.
There
you
have
even
a
briefe
map
of
these
torments
,
which
the
miscreants
of
the
world
powred
like
haile-shot
on
the
heads
of
Gods
servants
.
Saint
Gregory
hath
inlarged
the
bed-roll
of
these
tortures
,
writing
of
the
persecution
under
Nero
,
that
wretched
blood-hound
,
who
as
hee
was
fed
with
sops
dipt
in
blood
,
being
a
child
:
so
when
hee
became
a
man
hee
tooke
a
delight
to
wash
his
hands
and
imbrue
his
heart
in
the
blood
of
GODS
Saints
.
So
cruell
a
wretch
was
hee
,
and
so
witty
in
cruelties
,
that
it
was
the
opinion
of
divers
Christians
then
living
,
that
Nero
was
that
Antichrist
,
as
Saint
Augustine
relates
,
lib.
20.
de
civitat
.
Dei
,
cap.
19.
I
cannot
stand
upon
all
particulars
.
Let
it
be
enough
that
Tacitus
writes
of
him
,
how
that
Quaesitissimis
poenis
affecit
Christianos
,
hee
did
afflict
the
Christians
with
most
exquisite
and
strangely-devised
torments
.
That
Author
relates
how
that
wretched
Emperour
would
have
Christians
covered
and
sowed
up
in
Beares
skinnes
,
and
the
skins
of
other
wilde
beasts
,
and
so
expose
them
to
be
worried
and
eaten
up
of
fierce
and
cruell
Dogges
.
All
the
foure
Elements
are
witnesses
of
his
cruelty
;
for
the
earth
,
hee
made
great
deepe
pits
and
holes
in
the
earth
,
and
would
throw
them
downe
head-long
to
perish
there
;
for
the
water
,
hee
made
divers
be
bound
hands
and
feete
and
head
altogether
and
cast
into
the
Sea
to
be
choaked
there
;
for
the
ayre
,
hee
made
diver
be
hung
up
a-loft
in
chaines
to
feede
th●
Birds
of
the
ayre
;
for
the
fire
,
hee
made
divers
be
tied
to
the
stake
,
and
tumbled
others
bound
into
the
fire
to
burne
to
ashes
;
not
onely
so
,
but
hee
was
wont
to
take
a
great
number
of
the
bodies
of
Christians
and
make
piles
of
them
,
and
so
set
them
on
fire
in
u●um
nocturni
luminis
,
that
they
might
serve
as
Beacons
or
Bone-fires
to
give
light
in
the
night
time
to
common
passengers
.
O
savage
cruelty
!
I
should
but
weary
you
quite
to
tell
you
of
the
cruelty
of
Domitian
,
whom
Tertullian
calls
Neronis
portionem
,
a
limbe
of
Nero
;
Eusebius
,
Neronis
haeredem
,
Nero's
heire
in
Savagenesse
;
or
of
Maximinus
who
for
his
wonderfull
cruelty
some
called
another
Cyciops
,
some
Busiris
,
some
Scyron
,
some
Phalaris
,
some
Tryphon
or
Gyges
;
Neque
enim
erat
●rudelius
animal
in
terris
,
saith
Iulius
Capitolinus
;
or
of
Iulian
the
Apostata
,
Omnes
qui
praecesserunt
impietate
vincens
,
saith
Chrysostome
.
NaZianZene
cals
him
a
mixture
made
up
of
Ieroboam
,
Ahab
,
Pharoah
,
and
NabuchadneZZar
,
all
famous
for
cruelty
and
impiety
,
or
of
the
rest
of
that
branne
:
men
shall
I
call
them
?
I
cannot
,
for
they
put
off
all
humanity
,
but
rather
monsters
of
men
and
incarnate
divels
.
I
must
referre
you
to
the
stories
.
But
you
may
say
these
were
Pagans
,
professed
enemies
to
Christ
and
Christianity
,
and
therefore
no
wonder
,
if
they
maligned
Gods
Children
,
and
drave
them
from
City
to
City
,
and
hated
them
extremely
,
and
persecuted
them
even
unto
death
;
but
wee
hope
there
are
none
that
call
themselves
Christians
who
are
guilty
of
so
great
cruelty
as
you
speak
of
:
Yes
,
Beloved
,
I
say
it
,
and
I
will
say
it
againe
,
that
the
Popish
faction
are
as
guilty
of
this
cruelty
against
GODS
Church
,
as
the
very
Pagans
were
,
and
that
Popish
Rome
is
as
thirsty
of
blood
as
ever
Heat
henish
Rome
was
,
and
therefore
in
the
Revelation
shee
is
called
that
Scarlet
whore
which
hath
made
her selfe
drunke
with
the
blood
of
GODS
Saints
.
Because
this
matter
will
lye
hard
upon
the
Papists
,
among
whom
I
verily
think
there
are
many
honest
men
,
that
I
may
not
doe
them
wrong
,
nor
my
speech
wrongly
interpreted
,
I
pray
you
observe
with
me
this
distinction
.
There
is
great
difference
betwixt
these
two
,
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
the
Court
of
Rome
,
Those
worthies
and
men
of
renowne
,
whom
God
stirred
up
to
be
reformers
of
the
Church
abused
by
Popelings
,
wee
had
them
all
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
that
God
,
as
in
every
age
from
Christs
time
hath
had
,
so
hee
hath
at
this
day
like
wise
a
true
Church
even
in
Rome
it selfe
,
which
groneth
under
the
tyranny
of
the
Man
of
sinne
,
and
de●ireth
a
reformation
,
and
seeketh
it
of
GOD
by
prayer
to
make
a
purgation
of
his
Church
.
Wee
speake
not
of
these
,
but
wee
speake
of
the
Court
of
Rome
,
that
is
,
the
Hierarchie
consisting
of
the
Pope
and
his
Cardinals
and
the
rest
of
his
shavelings
,
and
professed
votaries
,
which
worship
the
Beast
,
and
have
taken
the
mark
of
the
Beast
in
their
foreheads
.
These
I
call
the
Popish
faction
,
and
these
I
can
prove
to
be
as
deepely
stained
with
the
blood
of
the
children
of
God
,
as
ever
heathenish
Rome
was
.
They
call
themselves
indeed
the
Church
,
the
onely
Church
,
the
Catholicke
,
the
mother
Church
;
but
I
say
they
are
not
of
the
Church
,
nay
,
enemies
to
the
Church
,
and
that
very
Antichrist
St.
Paul
speakes
of
was
breeding
in
his
time
;
briefly
,
I
say
of
them
as
our
Church
hath
taught
mee
most
pithily
and
truely
,
their
faith
is
faction
,
their
religion
is
rebellion
,
their
practise
is
murthering
both
of
soule
&
body
.
They
murther
the
soules
of
those
that
depend
upon
them
withtheir
false
&
erroneous
doctrin
;
they
murder
the
bodies
of
those
that
stand
against
them
either
by
poyson
,
or
by
poynard
,
or
by
pistoll
,
or
by
powder
,
or
by
some
other
more
cruell
,
t●echerous
,
and
bloody
practice
:
First
,
by
poyson
,
witnesse
Lopez
,
that
stinking
Iew
,
who
was
hired
by
the
Popish
faction
to
poyson
Queene
Elizabeth
:
but
that
tooke
no
effect
,
being
discovered
before
it
could
be
acted
;
but
the
Monke
that
poysoned
King
Iohn
in
a
wassayling
Bowle
at
Swinsted
Abby
hit
right
upon
it
,
and
the
Emperour
that
was
poysoned
in
the
Sacrament
felt
by
woefull
experience
how
cunning
these
men
are
in
poyso●ing
.
Secondly
,
by
poynards
,
witnesse
the
massacre
in
Paris
,
wherein
the
Protestants
in
most
barbarous
and
beastly
manner
were
stabbed
,
and
in
that
abundance
,
that
the
very
streets
ranne
with
the
blood
that
was
shed
on
that
dismall
Bartholomewes
Even
;
and
the
two
last
Kings
of
France
,
that
were
stabbed
both
of
them
,
the
one
by
Clement
,
which
deed
was
commended
by
the
Pope
for
heroicke
,
and
little
in
feriour
to
Christs
incarnation
,
in
a
solemne
panegyricke
at
Rome
made
in
his
praise
;
the
other
by
Ravilliacke
,
that
forlorne
wretch
,
can
testifie
unto
the
world
how
fruitfull
their
doctrine
is
in
stabbing
and
killing
,
yea
even
of
kings
themselves
.
Thirdly
,
by
pistoll
,
witnesse
that
pistoll
that
was
provided
to
make
Queene
Elizabeth
away
,
and
though
the
traytor
fail'd
in
the
performance
,
yet
the
malice
of
the
adversary
was
never
the
lesse
;
witnesse
that
bloody
Minerius
,
that
set
a
yong
man
of
Merindol
against
a
tree
,
and
made
him
be
shot
through
with
harquebushes
.
Witnesse
that
pistoll
that
was
discharged
in
the
brest
of
that
worthy
Admirall
of
France
,
of
who
it
was
said
,
BARTH
O
L
O
MEVS
FLET
Q
VIA
GALLICV
S
O
CCVBAT
AT
LAS
,
the
numerall
letters
of
which
verse
make
up
the
number
of
1572.
the
yeere
of
the
bloody
massacre
of
Protestants
in
France
.
Lastly
witnes●e
,
that
late
attempt
at
the
court
upon
the
Minister
of
Tichfield
,
a
French
man
borne
,
and
an
able
Scholar
,
who
was
shot
at
as
hee
was
walking
in
his
garden
with
a
pistoll
,
but
was
preserved
by
GODS
most
mercifull
and
immediate
providence
.
All
these
shew
since
the
blacke
Monke
invented
this
deadly
instrument
,
that
they
have
beene
very
much
delighted
with
his
invention
to
worke
their
bloody
feates
.
Fourthly
,
by
powder
,
witnesse
that
barbarous
and
bloody
intended
massacre
in
the
Gunpowder
Treason
,
a
Treason
that
cannot
be
named
without
horrour
,
nor
thought
upon
without
astonishment
;
no
age
in
the
world
affording
a
paralell
and
like
example
of
such
savage
cruelty
.
Let
some
rotten-hearted
runnagates
from
us
score
us
up
in
their
bookes
for
Schismaticke
and
puritanPreachers
,
for
exaggerating
and
setting
out
the
heinousnesse
of
that
divellish
Treason
,
yet
wee
will
not
leave
to
speake
against
it
,
yea
to
cry
and
thunder
against
it
,
being
,
as
his
sacred
Majesty
that
last
lived
hath
rightly
observed
,
not
onely
a
crying
sinne
of
blood
,
but
a
roaring
and
a
thundring
sinne
of
fire
and
brimstone
.
And
as
wee
will
not
cease
to
exaggerate
their
vill●ny
,
so
neither
will
we
cease
to
extoll
Gods
mercy
,
who
is
the
keeper
of
our
Israel
,
and
never
slumbers
nor
sleepes
,
but
is
alwaies
ready
at
hand
to
shend
and
defend
his
people
whom
●ee
hath
set
his
love
upon
,
even
for
his
owne
mercy
and
goodnesse
sake
,
howsoever
wee
by
reason
of
our
rebellions
against
him
have
des●rved
the
contrary
.
And
therefore
let
us
ever
confesse
and
say
,
as
our
Church
●●th
taught
us
;
From
this
unnat●rall
conspiracy
(
O
Lord
)
not
our
merit
but
thy
mercy
,
not
our
foresight
but
thy
providence
hath
delivered
us
,
not
our
love
to
thee
,
but
thy
love
to
thine
annointed
servant
and
thy
poore
Church
with
whom
thou
hast
promised
to
be
present
to
the
end
of
the
world
.
And
therefore
not
unto
us
,
ô
Lord
,
not
unto
us
,
but
to
thy
name
be
ascribed
all
honour
and
glory
in
all
the
Churches
of
the
Saints
throug●out
all
generations
.
And
ever
loved
and
blessed
be
Gods
mercifull
patience
and
providence
,
that
hath
not
given
us
over
as
a
prey
unto
their
teeth
.
Our
soule
is
escaped
,
even
as
a
Bird
out
of
the
sna●e
of
the
Fowler
,
the
snare
is
broken
and
wee
are
delivered
.
Our
helpe
standeth
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
which
made
heaven
and
earth
,
from
this
time
forth
for
evermore
.
Now
that
I
have
named
the
Powder-plot
,
the
top
of
all
treason
and
quinte●sence
of
all
cruelty
,
mee
thinkes
I
should
need
to
say
no
more
of
the
cruelty
of
these
●●umaeans
;
but
because
I
have
promised
to
make
you
acquainted
with
other
bloody
,
cruell
,
malicious
,
and
violent
practises
of
the
Popish
faction
,
I
must
be
as
good
as
my
word
;
and
I
thinke
indeed
I
owe
this
service
both
to
Christ
and
his
Church
,
to
discover
,
as
much
as
in
mee
lyeth
,
the
tyranny
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
malice
of
the
malignant
Church
,
which
hath
terribly
●aged
in
this
Land
,
and
doth
yet
fearefully
reigne
in
divers
quarters
of
the
world
.
But
here
,
where
shall
I
begin
?
abroad
or
at
home
?
with
forreine
or
domesticke
examples
?
with
the
Pope
or
popelings
?
the
head
or
his
members
?
If
you
will
with
the
Pope
himselfe
,
because
hee
loves
to
have
the
preheminence
,
hee
shall
have
it
in
pride
and
cruelty
.
To
give
you
●
taste
of
the
spirit
that
ruleth
in
this
holy
father
:
inclemens
Clemens
!
in
name
gentle
,
in
nature
cruell
,
Clement
by
an
anti●●rasis
;
what
shall
wee
say
of
him
that
●roudly
and
contemptuously
trode
Frederick
the
Emperour
under
his
feet
,
applying
that
●erse
of
the
Psalme
to
himselfe
,
Thou
shalt
go
●pon
the
Lion
and
the
Dragon
,
the
young
Li●●
and
the
Dragon
shalt
thou
tread
under
thy
●et
?
such
a
tyrant
was
Alexander
the
third
,
what
shall
we
say
of
him
that
armed
and
ani●ated
the
sonne
against
the
father
,
causing
him
to
be
taken
,
and
to
be
cruelly
famished
to
death
,
contrary
to
the
law
of
God
and
of
nature
too
?
Such
a
tyrant
was
Pope
Paschalis
the
second
,
what
shall
wee
say
of
him
that
made
Henry
the
emperour
with
his
wife
and
child
stand
at
his
gates
in
the
rough
winter
,
bare
foot
,
and
bare
legge
,
eating
nothing
from
morning
to
night
,
and
that
for
three
dayes
together
?
Such
a
tyrant
was
Pope
Hildebrand
,
that
brand
of
hell
,
if
wee
shall
so
terme
him
as
hee
hath
best
deserved
,
what
shall
wee
say
of
him
,
that
having
his
enemy
delivered
into
his
hands
,
caused
him
first
to
be
stripped
starke
naked
,
his
beard
to
be
shaven
in
disgrace
,
and
to
be
hanged
up
by
the
haire
of
his
head
,
then
to
be
set
upon
an
asse
with
his
face
backward
to
the
tayle
,
to
be
carried
round
about
the
city
in
despite
,
to
be
miserably
beaten
with
rods
,
and
at
last
to
be
thrust
and
banished
out
of
his
country
for
ever
?
Such
a
tyrant
was
Pope
Iohn
the
foureteenth
of
that
name
.
To
come
from
the
head
of
the
faction
to
his
members
;
poore
men
of
Lions
.
In
which
story
I
read
likewise
of
another
blood-hound
,
one
Iohannes
de
Roma
,
a
Monk
;
whose
common
and
ordinary
practise
was
to
take
the
profe●sors
of
the
Gospell
,
and
fill
bootes
full
of
boyling
grease
,
and
put
in
the
feet
and
leg●
of
Gods
Saints
in
them
,
and
binde
them
to
a
forme
,
and
fet
a
soft
fire
under
them
,
and
so
to
examine
them
about
their
faith
,
sitting
in
most
grievous
torments
,
and
afterwards
cruelly
to
put
them
to
death
.
What
should
I
tell
you
of
the
barbarous
cruelty
of
papists
against
the
poore
people
of
India
?
Bartholomaeus
à
Casa
,
one
of
their
owne
side
hath
related
the
story
and
the
manner
of
it
,
which
shall
remain
as
a
blot
upon
them
for
ever
.
They
say
they
have
converted
that
people
,
I
say
,
they
have
killed
more
than
they
have
converted
.
I
might
likewise
discourse
and
tell
you
of
the
Spanish
Inquisition
,
the
common
blockehouse
of
popery
;
it
was
set
up
first
to
take
Iewes
,
now
it
is
used
to
ensnare
Christians
;
and
〈◊〉
snare
,
it
holds
fast
,
there
is
no
mercy
in
it
,
it
will
not
let
goe
without
blood
,
hee
that
is
taken
in
it
,
twenty
to
one
hee
shall
never
escape
,
but
pine
and
perish
with
lingring
torments
,
that
's
just
the
nature
of
it
.
But
to
leave
forreine
stories
and
instances
,
and
come
neerer
home
.
I
could
tell
you
long
stories
of
the
mercilesse
racking
and
torturing
of
mistris
Anne
Askew
,
the
barbarous
burning
of
the
hand
of
Thomas
Thomkins
,
the
drawing
of
an
arrow
through
the
fingers
of
Cuthbert
Simpson
fast
tyed
together
,
so
that
the
blood
sprang
out
againe
.
the
feeding
of
Edw.
Freese
and
others
with
manchet
made
of
saw-dust
,
the
displing
of
Gods
saints
by
bloody
Bonner
in
his
garden
at
Fulham
in
such
pitteous
manner
,
that
his
servant
that
assisted
him
was
faine
to
turne
away
his
eyes
,
shaming
at
his
cruelty
;
his
bloody
butchering
of
the
servants
of
God
meerely
in
the
matter
of
religion
.
But
I
must
not
trouble
you
with
long
stories
now
,
I
referre
you
to
the
faithfull
relation
of
M.
Foxe
in
his
Acts
and
Monuments
,
which
shal
stand
as
a
monument
of
popish
tyrannicall
and
barbarous
cruelty
to
al
generations
.
And
although
I
know
there
are
some
of
the
Romishrout
,
that
call
them
Foxe
his
saints
,
and
that
call
his
story
a
Legend
of
lyes
,
yet
they
that
know
the
temper
of
those
men
,
know
also
well
enough
from
what
humour
these
words
proceed
,
which
being
spoken
out
of
spleene
and
spite
,
doe
not
impeach
the
truth
of
the
story
,
but
〈◊〉
cover
the
malice
of
their
hearts
against
a
leaur
c●and
painefull
scholar
,
who
hath
not
only
collected
things
together
,
but
confirmed
his
collections
with
such
sufficient
proofes
either
of
eye-witnesses
,
which
saw
the
things
done
,
or
of
publike
records
of
courts
wherein
those
matters
were
transacted
,
or
of
both
;
that
none
of
moderate
and
impartiall
judgement
can
doubt
of
the
truth
of
the
stories
or
his
faithfulnesse
in
relating
of
them
.
Now
there
you
shall
finde
,
I
say
,
how
that
in
those
Marian
dayes
none
were
spared
that
opposed
the
pride
and
tyranny
of
the
popish
bishop
,
of
what
condition
or
age
soever
they
were
,
but
all
went
to
the
pot
,
learned
and
unlearned
,
men
and
women
,
old
and
young
,
boyes
and
girles
,
clergy
and
laity
,
bishops
and
arch-bishops
.
Some
of
the
martyrs
they
scourged
with
rods
,
some
they
pulled
their
tongues
out
of
their
heads
,
nay
their
hearts
out
of
their
bodies
,
some
they
racked
and
tortured
,
some
they
hanged
,
some
they
beheaded
,
some
they
burned
,
and
that
with
a
soft
and
lingring
fire
to
prolong
their
pain●
;
nay
,
I
will
tell
you
one
thing
more
,
they
tooke
a
yong
infant
springing
out
of
the
mothers
belly
as
she
was
at
the
stake
burning
,
they
〈◊〉
it
I
say
and
threw
it
into
the
fire
to
bu●orr●ith
the
mother
;
I
have
stood
the
longer
upon
these
cruell
practises
of
Papists
for
these
reasons
:
1.
Because
I
thought
it
was
my
duty
and
a
service
that
I
owe
to
the
Church
of
Christ
to
lay
open
the
damnable
practises
and
plots
of
Antichrist
,
that
hee
hath
to
keepe
himselfe
up
in
the
fellowes
of
his
company
in
the
colledge
,
being
to
travell
abroad
,
Commendo
vos
dilectioni
Dei
&
odio
papatus
,
I
commend
you
all
to
the
love
of
God
and
the
hatred
of
popery
.
And
let
us
learne
further
as
our
church
hath
taught
us
,
to
pray
against
these
blood-thirsty
and
divellish
men
,
that
God
would
be
pleased
to
protect
us
from
their
rage
,
and
to
scatter
these
our
cruell
enemies
that
delight
in
blood
,
to
infatuate
their
counsels
,
and
confound
their
devices
,
and
to
root
out
that
Babylonish
and
Antichristian
sect
,
which
say
of
Ierusalem
,
Downe
with
it
,
Downe
with
it
,
even
to
the
ground
.
And
let
every
true-hearted
Englishman
say
,
Amen
.
This
shall
suffice
to
be
spoken
in
generall
of
the
cruelty
of
these
Idumaeans
.
Now
I
come
to
speak
of
their
cruelty
more
particularly
.
In
which
discourse
divers
things
will
reflect
upon
our selves
by
way
of
edefication
,
to
teach
us
some
profitable
lessons
,
and
many
things
will
reflect
upon
papists
by
way
of
detestation
and
utter
condemnation
of
their
wretched
courses
.
The
particulars
of
the
Edomites
cruelty
appeare
in
these
three
points
:
First
,
in
conspiring
with
other
enemies
of
the
church
in
evill
.
Secondly
,
in
evill
.
3.
In
rejoycing
themselves
and
taking
a
delight
in
evill
.
Their
conspiring
appeares
,
in
that
they
joyned
themselves
with
the
Babylonians
;
Downe
with
it
,
Downe
with
it
,
even
to
the
ground
.
Of
these
particulars
wee
will
now
(
cum
Deo
)
speake
distinctly
,
and
make
some
application
to
the
time
,
as
occasion
shall
be
offered
:
and
first
of
their
confederacy
and
conspiration
.
The
Edomites
bore
alwaies
a
deadly
hatred
and
spite
against
the
true
Israel
of
GOD.
That
is
plaine
by
the
whole
tenour
of
the
Scripture
of
the
Old
Testament
;
were
enemies
before
,
but
they
will
joyne
in
this
,
hand
in
hand
they
goe
to
the
effecting
of
this
cruell
project
.
Looke
into
Psal.
83.
〈◊〉
3.
&
seq
.
and
you
shall
finde
a
full
proofe
of
this
.
They
have
taken
crafty
counsell
against
thy
people
,
and
consulted
against
thy
secret
ones
,
they
have
said
,
Come
and
let
us
cut
them
off
,
that
they
be
no
more
a
people
,
nor
that
the
name
of
Israel
be
no
more
in
remembrance
;
they
have
consul●ed
toge●her
in
heart
,
and
have
made
a
league
against
thee
.
Marke
what
agreement
here
is
among
wicked
men
,
expressed
by
so
many
words
of
synonymall
signification
,
they
have
taken
●raf●y
counsell
,
they
have
consulted
together
,
they
have
said
come
and
let
us
cut
them
off
,
they
have
consulted
in
heart
,
they
have
made
a
league
;
then
comes
in
the
whole
rout
and
bed-roll
of
these
e●●mies
in
the
next
verse
,
The
Ta●erna●●●●
of
th●
Ed●mites
,
and
the
〈◊〉
(
and
marke
that
the
Ed●mites
march
in
the
first
ranke
)
the
Moabites
and
the
Hagarens
;
Gebal
and
Ammon
,
&c.
And
was
it
not
even
thus
with
our
Edomites
,
the
Popish
conspirators
?
they
bore
a
malignant
and
heavy
grudge
against
our
Church
;
but
God
made
the
illwil'd
cow
to
have
short
hornes
,
they
knew
their
power
was
not
answerable
to
their
purpose
;
and
therefore
they
goe
craftily
to
work
and
consult
in
heart
against
us
,
and
make
a
league
with
our
forreine
adversaries
,
Geball
and
Ammon
and
Amalecke
,
to
afford
their
helping
hand
to
our
overthrow
.
For
did
not
Garnet
write
a
letter
to
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
to
acquaint
him
with
the
treason
,
&
to
obtain
his
blessing
?
and
was
not
the
leigier
Iesuite
in
the
low
Countryes
possessed
with
it
,
to
provide
as
many
horse
&
as
much
munition
as
those
parts
would
gather
?
and
was
not
the
Spaniard
ready
to
helpe
the
English
Catholikes
at
a
call
,
and
to
joyne
with
them
to
have
laid
this
land
desolate
,
who
protested
hee
loved
the
Papists
of
England
as
dea●ely
as
hee
did
his
owne
Castillians
?
So
that
upon
the
point
looke
what
aide
either
of
men
or
munition
,
the
Pope
or
Spaine
could
have
made
;
their
so
dearely
loved
catholikes
,
I
had
almost
said
,
subjects
here
in
England
should
not
have
wanted
,
to
have
disturbed
the
quiet
of
our
Church
,
and
to
have
ruinated
our
Common-wealth
.
The
matter
is
plaine
,
all
these
were
ready
to
assemble
themselves
together
,
like
so
many
crowes
,
to
picke
out
the
eyes
of
GODS
faithfull
servants
.
If
you
desire
any
reasons
of
this
conclusion
why
the
wicked
doe
thus
joyne
together
so
unanimously
in
mischievous
practices
,
The
use
of
this
point
is
,
cast
in
thy
lot
among
us
,
wee
will
all
have
but
one
purse
,
Pro.
1.
14.
So
likewise
among
the
Turks
&
Mahometans
there
is
great
consent
and
agreement
insomuch
that
their
sect
and
profession
is
by
them
far
and
neere
propagated
;
and
yet
it
will
not
hereupon
follow
that
Mahometisme
is
the
true
Church
.
No
more
will
the
Papists
plea
hold
,
that
because
there
is
great
unity
and
consent
among
them
(
although
I
am
able
to
shew
the
contrary
)
yet
suppose
it
were
so
,
I
say
,
their
plea
will
not
hold
that
they
are
the
true
church
because
of
their
unity
;
if
I
may
call
it
properly
unity
and
not
rather
a
conspiracy
.
For
(
as
I
remember
)
that
worthy
learned
Lady
Ian●
Gray
,
wrote
exceeding
truely
and
discreetly
to
the
same
purpose
,
Agreement
among
wicked
men
is
not
unity
but
conspiracie
;
and
thereupon
alledgeth
that
excellent
position
of
Cicero
in
his
Booke
of
amity
,
Ami●itia
non
est
nisi
inter
bonos
,
that
there
can
be
no
true
unity
but
among
good
men
.
The
second
use
then
of
this
is
for
exhortation
unto
us
,
beloved
,
to
joyne
hearts
and
●ands
together
for
the
upholding
of
the
truth
hold
the
unity
of
the
spirit
in
the
bond
of
〈◊〉
,
as
the
Apostle
counselleth
.
If
the
ene●ies
of
the
Church
combine
and
conspire
the
〈◊〉

be
this
Neither

finde
in

the
Midianites
,
the
Amalekites
,
and
the

;
they
came
upon
them
,
eve●
they
;
as
our
last
translation
reads
it
,
with
a●
emphasis
.
What
?
the
Midianites
,
and
the
Amalakites
,
and
the
children
of
the
East
?
This
is
strange
that
they
should
set
upon
Israel
for
they
were
cousins
and
came
all
of
〈◊〉
stocke
:
for
the
Israel●tes
they
came
of
Abraham
by
his
wife
Sarah
,
and
the
Midianites
came
of
the
same
Abraham
by
his
wi●●
Keturah
,
Gen.
25.
2.
they
were
of
the
sam●
blood
then
:
further
,
they
were
linked
by
ma●riage
,
for
Moses
tooke
a
woman
of
Midian
to
wife
:
thus
were
the
Midianites
a
kinne
and
allied
to
Israel
,
and
so
were
the
Amalekites
too
;
for
the
Israelites
came
of
Iacob
.
and
the
Amalekites
came
of
Esa●
,
Gen.
36.
12.
they
were
brothers
children
;
and
for
the
children
of
the
East
,
it
is
cleare
they
were
Abrahams
sonnes
begotten
on
his
Concubines
,
to
whom
hee
gave
gifts
and
sent
them
into
the
East
country
,
Gen.
25.

So
then
it
is
evident
by
these
genealogies
that
these
people
all
of
them
were
a-kinne
to
Israel
,
and
yet
they
vex
and
molest
,
persecute
and
purs●e
with
deadly
hatred
.
What
can
be
the
reason
of
it
,
but
the
diversity
,
yea
contrariety
of
their
religions
?
There
is
no
hatred
to
that
which
is
conceived
against
the
true
religion
,
it
drives
deepe
,
it
is
implacable
▪
no
linke
of
love
nor
bond
of
friendship
,
nor
neernesse
of

can
quench
it
.
The

hereof

The
best
of
them
is

as
a

the
most

than

Can
Antichrist
beare
any
love
to
Christ
?
can
the
limbes
of
Antichrist
affect
the
members
of
Christ
?
nay
they
hate
us
with
an
inveterate
and
deadly
hatred
;
so
that
if
wee
should
give
our
daughters
to
them
,
or
take
their
daughters
to
us
,
yet
wee
have
still
reason
to
suspect
and
feare
them
;
for
they
would
be
the
first
,
if
they
had
opportunity
,
to
leape
upon

and
cut
our
throates
.
Will
you
heare

Fideles

The
Papists
of

are
to
be
excused
that
they
doe
not
raise
up

to

because
forsooth
they
have

to

this

and
to
make
their
party
good
.
And
GOD
be
thanked
for
that
,
that
their

is
not
an●werable
to
their
minde
;
but
here
wee
see
plainely
what
the
King
and
wee
all
of
us
might
looke
for
at
their
hands
,
if
they
had
long
hornes
to
push
at
us
,
if
they
were
not
curb'd
and
kept
under
by
the
conscience
of
their
owne
weakenesse
,
and
the
terrour
of
the

And
to
come
neerer
the
point
yet
;
was
it
not
thus
in
the
Gunpowder-plot
?
(
our
happy
deliverance
from
which
wee
celebrate
this
day
)
For
when
there
was
some
of
the
Traitors
that
made
this
scruple
of
conscience
to
Garnet
the
arch-traytor
and
the
rest
of
his
fellow-Iehusites
,
that
in
the
Parliament
house
there
would
be
many
of
their
friends
and
kindred
,
yea
divers
of
their
owne
profession
,
deepe
Catholikes
,
and
that
they
thought
it
a
very
hard
thing
to
wrap
them
in
the
common
overthrow
and
to
blow
up
them
with
the
rest
,
and
thereupon
began
a
little
to
shrinke
backe
;
it
was
resolved
presently
by
those
tender-hearted
fathers
,
the
Iesuites
,
that
they
were
not
to
sticke
at
these
things
,
but
for
the
promoving
of
the
catholike
cause
they
might
●tterly
destroy
all
,
yea
even
their
owne
catholike
friends
and
acquaintance
without
exception
.
These
few
words
that
I
have
spoken
are
sufficient
unto
you
that
are
wise
;
I
pray
you
let
mee
round
you
in
your
eares
that
have
any
popish
kindred
,
if
there
be
any
such
here
present
,
take
mine
advise
,
Rely
not
,
trust
not
too
much
unto
them
:
for
let
them
be
never
so
firme
unto
you
,
let
there
be
never
so
many
linkes
and
tyes
betwixt
you
;
yet
one
Bull
from
the
Pope
or
one
little
breath
from
a
Iesui●●s
mouth
will
snap
all
these
bands
asunder
presently
.
The
second
use
of
this
shall
be
an
instruction
to
teach
us
to
make
much
of
our
spirituall
kindred
,
those
I
meane
that
are
of
the
same
religion
with
us
.
The
old
Saxons
,
our
ancestours
,
called
religion
Yane-fastnesse
,
the
o●ely
fastnesse
,
the
onely
thing
that
maketh
fast
friends
,
and
they
that
are
firmely
joyned
unto
us
in
the
truth
of
Religion
,
they
will
not
forsake
us
,
wee
may
be
sure
of
that
,
they
will
be
our
firmest
friends
in
all
our
necessitie
;

for
to

songs
upon
him
,
making
themselves
merry
with
his

,
even
as
they
were
tipling

of

there

and

against

and
in
both
these
a

Thi●
is
plaine
.
I
have
read
of
Nero
,
that
bloody
and
barbarous
tyrant
that
hee
commanded
Rome
to
be
set
on
fire
,
and
while
the
smoke
ascended
,
and
the
houses
burned
,
hee
gate
him
up
to
the
top
of
his
palace
,
to
looke
upon
it
and
laugh
at
it
,
and
taking
a
fiddle
,
minstrell
as
hee
was
,
plaid
upon
it
and
sung
all
the
while
Rome
was
a
burning
the
destruction
of
T●●y
.
Here
was
a
lively
type
of
this
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
indeed
.
And
because
I
have
mentioned
that
story
,
give
mee
leave
to
proceede
a
little
further
in
it
,
because
it
makes
for
our
purpose
.
Assoone
as
Nero
had
made
Rome
thus
to
be
burnt
,
the
blame
was
presently
laid
upon
the
Christians
,
that
they
by
trechery
had
fired
the
City
;
even
as
the
Powder-traytors
had
resolved
,
if
the
treason
had
taken
effect
,
to
lay
all
the
blame
on
the
Puritans
,
that
they
had
by
treachery
blowne
up
the
Parliament
house
;
but
that
by
the
way
;
when
Nero
●
I
say●
had
caused
this
〈…〉
bee
spread
against
the
Christians
,
and
this
rumour
was
growne
into
a
common
opinion
,
and
this
opinion
became
an
undoubted
perswasion
that
it
was
just
so
as
Nero
had
bruted
it
abroad
,
then
imagine
you
,
what
deaths
were
devised
,
what
tortures
threatned
,
what
cruelties
practised
upon
the
bodies
of
the
poore
innocent
christians
;
and
this
blood
sucking
tyrant
and
their
mercilesse
tormentors
,
not
content
to
put
them
to
death
with
all
manner
of
cruelty
that
the
divell
could
invent
,
they
did
mocke
and
flout
them
in
their
death
,
and
made
themselves
merry
with
their
destruction
,
for
so
much
sound
the
words
of
Cornel.
Tacitus
;
Pereuntibus
addita
ludibria
.
But
you
will
say
Nero
was
a
damned
wretch
a
monster
of
men
,
and
those
his
instruments
you
speake
of
were
all
pagans
and
infidels
out
of
the
Church
,
without
God
,
and
therfore
no
wonder
if
they
be
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
like
their
father
the
divell
re●oycing
in
evill
,
but
can
the
divellish
affection
once
enter
into
the
hearts
of
any
that
call
themselves
christians
?
peradventure
thereare
none
suchamong
them
.
Are
there
none
such
?
I
wish
I
could
say
so
,
but
I
cannot
,
I
must
tel
you
that
there
are
such
men
,
as
delight
in
evill
even
among
christians
.
First
,
let
vs
looke
over
into
France
,
&
there
we
shall

protestants
all
at
once
,
and
that
not
in
battell
,
but
in
treachery
under
pretence
of
friendship
,
shadowed
by
the
marriage
of
the
kings
sister
to
aprotestant
prince
.
And
when
Gregory
13.
Pope
heard
of
this
●amous
exploit
,
he
caused
the
like
joy
to
be
shewed
in
his
City
,
the
guns
to
be
shot
off
from
his
castle
S.
Angelo
,
the
masse
to
be
sung
in
honor
of
this
noble
deed
in
S.
Lucies
church
,
a
French
Saint
.
This
was
rejoy●ing
in
evill
,
was
it
not
?
Let
me
now
take
you
by

hand
&
lead
you
out
of

into

,
there
you
shall
find

and

there
wee

that

had
murthered

in

as
a

his
faith

obedience
to

,
and
his
forwardnesse
in
the
Catholike

,
as
he
cal'd
it
;
howsoever
there
were
some
even
of
the
rebels
that
condemned
this
desperate
and
bloody
attempt
,
yet
doctor
Sanders
commended
the
action
,
applauded
the
actor
for
a
couragious
Catholike
,
&
told
him
that
therin
questionles
he
had
off
er●d
up
a

unto

Good

what

when
an

shall
kill

and
yet
that

,
the

but
they
did
looke
upon
it
and
laughed
at
it
,
and
cryed
to
their
confederates
,
Downe
with
it
,
downe
with
it
,
even
to
the
ground
.
And
were
there
not
some
of
the
popish
faction
set
upon
the
hill
betwixt
Kingstone
and
London
,
where
they
might
have
a
full
prospect
of
West
minster
and
the
Parliament
house
,
expecting
for
that
dismall
desolation
intended
,
and
longing
to
heare
the
terrible
blow
given
,
saying
no
doubt
in
their
hearts
not
,
Downe
with
it
,
Downe
with
it
,
even
to
the
ground
,
but
Blow
them
up
,
up
with
them
even
to
the
clouds
.
Nay
,
and
when
Guido
Faux
,
the
party
appointed
to
give
fire
to
the
powder
,
was
apprehended
and
examined
,
and
asked
if
hee
was
not
sorry
and
repented
himselfe
of
his
bloody
,
designe
,
answered
with
a
bold
heart
and
brazen
face
,
that
hee
was
sorry
for
nothing
more
in
all
his
life
,
than
for
that
the
designe
tooke
so
ill
effect
,
and
repented
himselfe
that
hee
had
not
set
fire
on
the
powder
when
hee
was
caught
,
that
he
might
have
done
some
mischiefe
at
least
upon
himselfe
and
his
apprehenders
.
By
all
which
it
is
more
then
plaine
to
be
seene
how
the
Popish
faction
jumpe
directly
with
the
children
of
Edom
in
all
points
of
carnality
and
cruelty
,
their
rejoicing
in
evill
.
Here
is
onely
the
difference
betwixt
them
.
The
Edomites
saw
the
ruine
and
desolation
of
jerusalem
and
rejoyced
over
it
;
but
the
Papists
did
not
see
the
ruine
and
desolation
of
our
Church
but
onely
in
hope
and
expectation
,
that
they
might
have
rejoiced
over
us
.
But
their
hopes
were
dasht
,
and
their
expectation
frustrate
,
and
their
joy
was
turned
into
shame
and
confusion
of
face
,
as
appeareth
this
day
;
and
all
by
the
mercifull
patience
and
providence
of
the
Lord
the
keeper
of
our
Israel
,
who
never
slumbers
nor
sleeps
,
but
watcheth
overus
for
our
good
to
save
our
King
,
and
defend
our
state
,
to
direct
his
Church
,
and
deliver
his
poore
servants
from
all
the
divelish
machination
of
our
implacable
enemies
.
And
therefore
not
unto
us
,
not
unto
us
,
but
to
his
glorious
name
be
ascribed
the
praise
of
our
deliverance
.
And
the
Lord
make
us
truly
thankefull
for
this
most
miraculous
deliverance
,
to
remember
it
our selves
,
and
to
be
whetting
of
it
upon
our
posterity
,
that
all
true
English
hearted
Christians
may
learne
to
praise
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
for
ever
.
And
pray
wee
once
more
,
that
God
of
his
mercy
,
and
not
for
our
merits
,
for
his
owne
goodnesse
sake
,
and
not
for
any
goodnesse
that
is
in
us
,
to
scatter
our
cruell
enemies
which
delight
in
blood
,
to
infatuate
their
counsells
,
and
to
root
out
that
Babylonish
and
*
Antichristian
sect
which
say
of
Ierusalem
,
Downe
with
it
,
downe
with
it
even
to
the
ground
.
And
beseech
wee
him
of
his
mercifull
goodnesse
to
protect
and
prosper
our
soveraigne
Lord
and
King
in
all
his
godly
intendments
,
to
blesse
the
Church
with
the
pure
and
incorrupt
doctrine
of
his
holy
word
and
with
faithfull
Pastours
after
his
owne
heart
,
to
maintaine
the
whole
State
and
realme
in
peace
and
prosperity
,
that
with
our
heart
and
mo●th
wee
may
praise
his
holy
name
and
sing
joyfully
,
that
his
mercifull
kindnesse
is
ever
more
and
more
towards
us
,
and
that
the
truth
of
the
Lord
endureth
for
ever
,
through
j●sus
Christ
our
only
Saviour
and

Amen

verse

BEhold
,
though
he
in
travell
bee
,
of
his
divellish
forecast
,
And
of
his
mischiefe
once
conceiv'd
,
yet
brings
forth
nought
at
last
.
Hee
diggs
a
ditch
and
delves
it
deepe
,
in
hope
to
hurt
his
brother
;
But
hee
shall
fall
into
the
pit
,
that
he
dig'd
up
for
other
.
Thus
wrong
returneth
to
the
hurt
of
him
in
whom
it
bred
;
And
all
the
mischiefe
,
that
he
wrought
shall
fall
upon
his
head
.
I
will
giue
thankes
to
God
therefore
,
that
judgeth
righteously
;
And
with
my
songs
will
praise
the
name
of
him
that
is

of

of

IF
great
Iehovah
had
not
stood
propitious
on
our
side
,
May
England
say
most
thankefully
,
and
been
our
guard
and
guide
:
If
heavens
Almighty-Lord
Himselfe
,
had
not
our
cause
maintain'd
,
When
men
,
yea
most
blood-thirsty
men
our
downefall
had
ordain'd
.
Then
had
their
Antichristian
rage
and
Hellish
policy
,
Devoured
us
with
greedy
jawes
and
swallowed
suddainely
.
Then
,
like
huge
overflowing
floods
with
furious
inundation
,
They
,
all
our
soules
o'rewhelmed
had
,
and
drown'd
in
desolation
.
Our
royall
King
and
Queene
and
Prince
,
and

Progeny
,
Our
prudent
Counsellors
of

Our

In

Romes
raging

with
roaring
noise
,
and

,
Had
all
,
at

engulft

in

misery
:
But
,
great
Iehovah
just
and
good
,
thy
name
we
praise
and
blesse
;
Who
onely
sav'dst
us
from
the
power
of
Romish
wickednesse
.
For
,
as
a
Bird
out
of
the
snare
,
by
furious
Fowlers
made
,
Doth
safely
scape
:
Even
so
our

securely
did
evade
;
Their
net
was
broke
,
themselves
were
caught
our
God
that
ne're

sleepe
,
In

did
sit

and
us
in

keepe

This
was

this

And
't

behold
this

Act.
This

Which

Let

To

To

To

from

hath
oft

All

(

to

on

let

Let
