ENGLANDS
IOY
,
for
the
KINGS
gratious
Proclamation
for
the
banishing
of
Papists
.
I
Confesse
that
Prayer
is
so
forcible
,
that
it
openeth
the
gates
of
Heaven
;
and
as
you
read
,
how
the
holy
Ghost
descended
vpon
the
Apostles
,
in
the
forme
of
fiery
tongues
,
so
through
the
enforcement
of
Prayer
,
all
blessings
spirituall
and
temporall
are
let
downe
amongst
the
children
of
God
,
like
Peters
sheete
.
Who
would
not
then
aske
to
obtaine
:
seeke
to
finde
:
knocke
to
have
it
opened
:
and
importune
the
father
of
mercy
to
have
no
deniall
,
considering
the
Parable
tells
us
,
That
the
wicked
Judge
who
neither
feared
God
nor
man
,
granted
the
widowes
Petition
to
be
delivered
from
her
clamors
,
and
her
troublesome
attendancy
:
and
thus
are
wee
beholding
to
our
God
.
But
now
,
to
make
God
beholding
unto
us
,
were
a
secret
out
of
the
Treasure-house
of
heaven
indeed
,
wherein
I
will
be
bold
to
tell
you
how
you
may
be
proficient
,
and
invite
you
to
wisedomes
schoole
to
learne
a
cunning
,
which
the
heart
of
the
naturall
man
is
uncapable
of
;
and
that
is
,
to
retribute
thankes
to
God
,
to
give
his
glorious
name
the
praise
,
to
bee
gratefull
unto
him
,
and
to
rejoyce
in
hymnes
and
spirituall
Songs
,
when
a
benefit
is
imparted
,
and
our
soules
are
comforted
.
What
a
story
is
the
story
of
the
Iewes
,
being
delivered
from
Hamans
cruelty
and
persecution
,
for
the
purpose
in
hand
.
The
Text
saith
;
But
,
oh
thou
God
of
heaven
!
that
ridest
vpon
the
wings
of
the
wind
,
and
holdest
the
reynes
of
the
kingdomes
of
the
world
in
thy
hand
,
to
let
loose
or
restraine
at
thy
pleasure
.
Thou
knowest
that
we
haue
more
causes
to
rejoyce
and
bee
glad
then
the
Iewes
,
in
their
Purim
.
For
,
if
wee
may
compare
the
lesse
with
the
greater
,
they
had
but
the
preservation
of
their
bodies
,
and
a
slight
tryumph
against
their
corporall
enemies
,
we
are
in
the
way
to
save
our
soules
and
put
our
spirituall
adversaries
to
flight
,
the
Flesh
,
the
World
,
and
the
Devill
What
?
Papistry
to
be
suppressed
?
The
Priests
and
Iesuites
to
be
banished
?
And
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
to
flourish
?
Doth
not
Ieremy
tell
vs
,
that
,
In
Ramah
there
was
a
voyce
heard
,
lamentation
,
and
weeping
,
and
great
mourning
,
Rachell
weeping
for
her
children
,
and
would
not
be
comforted
because
they
were
not
.
Did
not
al
England
wring
their
hands
for
sorrow
,
and
begin
to
mourne
and
be
affrighted
,
when
they
saw
the
Papists
so
arrogantly
mischievous
,
to
insult
in
every
towne
and
shire
,
and
mocke
us
to
our
faces
,
as
if
Sandolet
and
Tobiah
were
to
scoffe
and
deride
the
Iewes
,
when
Nehemiah
came
to
re-edifie
the
Temple
?
And
hath
not
God
put
into
the
Kings
heart
to
dam
vp
this
inundation
,
and
to
keepe
the
raging
Sea
within
limitation
,
that
it
doe
not
overflow
the
lower
and
fruitfull
grounds
.
Marke
but
the
progression
of
businesse
,
tell
it
to
your
Children
,
and
write
it
in
the
Phylacteries
of
your
garments
.
Did
not
we
determin
some
16.
years
agoe
to
match
with
Spaine
?
And
did
not
Spaine
resolve
to
overmatch
us
in
the
contract
?
Did
he
not
resemble
an
unmannerly
and
impudent
guest
,
who
invited
to
some
neighbourly
meeting
,
would
not
onely
come
himself
,
but
brought
a
whole
rablement
of
Cormorants
with
him
,
so
Spain
must
not
only
condition
for
a
daughter
,
but
the
Papists
through
the
kingdome
have
liberty
of
Conscience
,
Masse
in
their
houses
,
Priests
within
their
doores
,
penalties
remitted
,
and
the
Pursevants
and
Officers
restrained
from
their
privy
searches
,
whereby
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
presumed
on
his
meritorious
service
,
&
some
Papists
triumphed
,
as
if
the
wiser
sort
knew
they
were
in
the
right
.
And
was
not
this
a
fearefull
beginning
,
and
who
knowes
with
what
strength
the
strong
man
would
have
encreased
in
keeping
his
possession
:
so
have
the
Papists
done
within
these
2.
or
3.
yeares
,
and
insolently
bragged
of
their
great
forces
,
and
impudently
threatned
the
utter
overthrow
of
us
all
,
especially
of
our
renowned
City
of
London
.
But
was
this
all
?
No
,
no
,
the
severall
shiers
of
England
,
worse
then
the
Iewes
that
poysoned
the
springs
of
sweet
water
,
in
these
dayes
had
malitious
instruments
to
corrupt
the
youth
of
the
Countrey
,
and
the
Priests
,
Iesuites
and
Fryers
ranne
from
house
to
house
,
and
made
them
all
amazed
with
crying
out
;
Great
is
Diana
of
the
Ephesians
.
But
now
Papistry
shall
be
suppressed
,
and
the
Priests
and
Iesuites
banished
.
O
blessed
alteration
!
O
blessed
King
!
oh
blessed
Parliament
!
The
Ambassadours
houses
were
so
many
hives
,
to
which
the
drones
resorted
,
who
not
onely
fed
vpon
the
hony
of
the
Bees
,
but
presumed
to
kill
and
beate
them
away
,
which
preserved
them
:
Thus
these
unconstant
people
,
not
onely
despised
the
Pastors
of
their
own
Congregations
,
and
under
protection
of
the
Prerogative
of
Kings
,
railed
on
the
Lord
&
his
annointed
:
The
Streets
swarmed
with
ruffianly
apparitions
,
Priests
in
disguised
apparell
,
and
Iesuites
in
Courtly
vestments
.
And
what
did
they
?
Not
only
watch
the
outward
behaviour
of
men
,
and
government
of
the
City
,
but
tooke
advantage
of
the
weake
,
carnall
Gospeller
,
and
set
upon
them
with
the
outward
glory
of
a
visible
Church
.
The
Cathedrall
of
Paules
had
her
walkes
mingled
with
a
number
of
peremptory
and
audacious
Romanists
,
who
not
onely
branded
us
for
lukewarmnesse
and
unjustifiable
actions
,
but
boasted
both
of
and
in
their
disputations
,
that
they
had
put
the
true
and
learned
servants
of
God
to
silence
,
as
if
Sidchiah
should
strike
Machiah
on
the
face
,
and
peremptorily
aske
him
,
when
the
Spirit
of
God
departed
from
him
,
to
be
infused
into
such
an
underling
.
The
Court
hath
not
onely
every
corner
,
but
publike
walkes
filled
with
Papists
,
and
Hispaniolized
temporisers
.
And
what
did
they
,
appeare
in
severall
disguised
formes
,
and
their
corrupt
hearts
taught
their
tongues
to
vent
forth
blasphemy
,
and
notorious
abuses
:
For
as
you
read
how
Ieremy
was
taken
by
his
Enemies
,
and
brought
before
the
Princes
and
Priests
,
for
weakning
the
hands
of
the
men
of
warre
,
and
danted
their
hearts
that
wished
well
to
the
peace
of
Sion
:
So
played
these
imposturing
spirits
,
charming
all
men
with
such
subtilties
.
What
?
the
house
of
Austria
to
be
checked
,
and
the
Emperour
of
Germany
to
be
affronted
?
What
?
Spain
to
be
threatned
with
warre
,
and
intrusions
of
hostility
?
Who
is
able
to
cover
the
Vienna
,
as
Xerxes
once
did
the
Hellespont
,
with
a
numberlesse
,
and
invincible
Armado
,
to
set
upon
the
Iland
of
Brittany
as
a
Conquerour
,
and
to
make
England
to
tremble
with
the
multitude
of
his
forces
,
and
yet
dare
you
talke
of
warre
and
assisting
the
Low-Countries
?
But
now
God
be
thanked
,
Papistry
shall
be
suppressed
,
the
Priests
and
Iesuits
banished
,
and
these
mighty
Buls
of
Bashan
either
have
their
hornes
sawed
off
,
or
their
chaps
musled
,
and
what
an
alteration
is
heere
?
Oh
let
us
then
give
thankes
unto
God
,
and
confesse
his
mercy
is
beyond
our
apprehension
,
and
his
benefits
are
Ocean
in
comparison
of
our
duty
,
or
standing
poole
of
deserving
.
And
seeing
the
King
is
so
gracious
to
looke
upon
us
,
like
a
faire
moving
Planet
,
in
a
conspicuous
Orbe
,
from
whose
influence
can
proceed
nothing
but
sweet
presages
:
Seeing
our
Parliament
is
so
religiously
Honourable
,
to
sound
the
foord
of
Spaines
projects
,
and
their
countries
hazard
by
collusion
,
and
halting
betweene
two
opinions
;
with
the
plummets
of
true
Wisedome
,
and
zeale
to
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
:
Seeing
that
they
are
so
indulgent
,
and
will
not
suffer
either
the
wild
Bore
of
the
Forrest
to
trample
downe
the
hedges
;
or
little
Foxes
to
destroy
the
Grapes
,
but
are
willing
that
Iehojadas
filthy
garments
may
be
taken
away
,
and
a
Crowne
of
pure
Gold
set
upon
his
head
,
seeing
the
people
are
prepared
to
call
and
hasten
one
another
to
goe
vp
to
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
;
and
rather
then
Ruben
shall
rayse
a
heape
of
stones
like
an
Altar
,
to
put
the
people
in
feare
of
Idolatry
,
they
are
ready
to
arme
with
their
brethren
,
and
examine
how
the
matter
stands
,
let
every
man
exhilarat
himselfe
,
and
cry
out
:
Why
art
thou
cast
downe
O
my
soule
,
and
why
art
thou
disquieted
within
me
?
hope
thou
in
God
,
for
I
shall
yet
praise
him
,
he
is
the
health
of
my
countenance
,
and
my
God
:
So
then
if
Paplstry
shall
be
suppressed
,
the
Priests
and
Iesuites
banished
,
and
our
enemies
,
both
Forraine
and
Domesticke
over-reached
:
let
God
have
the
glory
,
the
Prince
the
honour
,
the
Parliament
the
commendation
,
the
people
the
comfort
,
the
Country
the
benefit
,
and
every
true
hearted
Christian
sing
Iopaean
,
and
Epithalamions
to
Iehovah
.
Marke
the
difference
betweene
flourishing
Kingdomes
through
the
blessing
of
reformation
,
and
advise
of
good
governours
,
and
the
fearefull
distraction
of
Common-wealths
,
where
irreligion
and
indirect
courses
over-maister
:
While
the
ambition
of
Athalia
was
predominant
over
her
affection
,
and
drive
her
head-long
to
all
obscenity
&
tyranny
,
she
committed
idolatry
,
she
neglected
the
house
of
God
,
she
defiled
the
Altar
,
she
destroyed
the
seed
royall
,
she
usurped
the
Diadem
,
and
disturbed
the
peace
of
Iuda
and
Israel
:
But
when
Iehoash
was
miraculously
preserved
and
instructed
by
Iehojada
:
Athalia
is
slaine
:
Iehoash
doth
that
which
is
right
in
the
sight
of
God
,
the
Priests
repaire
the
Temple
,
the
Altars
are
cleansed
,
the
Common
wealth
reformed
,
and
the
whole
Country
resetled
in
order
;
and
was
not
this
a
great
alteration
?
In
the
story
of
Manasses
,
and
Ammon
his
Sonne
,
you
shall
finde
these
imputations
of
wickednesse
cast
upon
them
by
the
holy
Ghost
:
Hee
did
that
which
was
evill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
he
lived
after
the
abominations
of
the
Heathen
,
he
reared
up
Altars
for
Baal
,
he
offered
incense
to
the
Host
of
Heaven
,
he
made
his
Sonnes
passe
through
the
fire
,
he
used
enchantments
,
observed
times
,
and
dealt
with
familiar
spirits
,
and
wrought
much
wickednes
before
the
Lord
:
But
when
Iosiah
came
to
raigne
,
and
was
instructed
how
?
he
feared
God
,
and
lived
uprightly
,
he
cleansed
and
repaired
the
Temple
:
he
commanded
the
booke
of
God
to
be
read
,
he
rent
his
cloathes
,
as
strucken
with
compunction
of
soule
,
he
made
a
covenant
with
God
to
observe
his
testimonies
,
he
put
downe
all
the
Offices
of
Baal
,
and
the
groves
dedicated
unto
him
:
He
slew
his
Priests
,
he
solemnized
the
Passeover
,
and
he
performed
the
words
of
the
Law
,
which
were
written
in
the
Booke
;
and
was
not
this
a
great
alteration
?
Thus
it
is
betweene
the
government
of
Spaine
and
England
,
especially
the
contrariety
of
Religion
,
and
diversity
of
serving
God
,
betweene
Papists
and
Protestants
:
the
Papists
both
in
Spaine
and
in
England
,
commit
blasphemous
idolatry
,
are
polluted
with
incests
and
fornication
;
derogate
from
the
honour
of
God
,
to
attribute
adoration
to
creatures
,
pacifieth
himselfe
in
the
Labyrinth
of
aequivocation
:
Dissemble
with
God
,
their
owne
soules
,
and
all
that
deale
with
them
,
care
not
by
what
meanes
,
or
treachery
they
compasse
their
owne
ends
,
deny
Christs
presence
in
Heaven
,
a
maine
article
of
Faith
,
extenuate
the
power
of
the
God-head
,
by
allowing
a
deity
to
Creatures
,
and
invocation
to
Divells
āŖ
First
,
they
have
made
many
Saints
that
are
passed
downe
to
Hell
.
Allow
of
murther
,
and
monstrous
impiety
:
and
in
a
word
,
are
poysoned
with
the
dregs
of
abomination
,
wherewith
the
whore
of
Babylon
hath
filled
her
cup.
The
true
Protestant
and
zealous
Christian
alloweth
God
the
preheminence
of
all
adoration
,
will
by
no
meanes
blaspheme
with
idolatrous
exorcismes
,
detesteth
whoredome
,
and
all
incestuous
Leprosie
,
defieth
the
participiation
of
Gods
glory
to
murther
,
simply
and
plainly
contriveth
his
affaires
,
and
keepeth
his
word
,
though
it
be
to
his
owne
hinderance
,
intermeddles
not
with
matters
of
state
,
except
he
be
called
to
place
of
eminency
,
is
with
Anna
praying
in
the
Temple
,
and
continually
rejoyceth
in
the
conversation
of
Gods
servants
,
and
maketh
the
Church
the
sanctuary
of
his
soule
,
in
a
word
,
is
ruled
by
the
directory
of
Gods
word
,
and
neither
dare
abuse
the
Majesty
of
Princes
by
inter
jecting
a
Jealousie
and
suspition
betweene
the
Prince
and
the
Subject
,
nor
runne
away
with
the
deceit
of
his
owne
heart
,
in
presuming
to
be
more
holy
then
his
brethren
,
or
prejudging
others
either
maliciously
,
or
foolishly
.
And
is
not
this
a
great
alteration
?
And
is
not
this
cause
enough
to
induce
us
to
thanke
God
,
and
acknowledge
his
mercy
and
kindnesse
,
that
our
King
and
Parliament
would
goe
and
buy
eye-salve
without
money
,
perspicuously
to
looke
into
the
enormities
of
the
Church
and
Common
wealth
,
and
not
onely
with
Nehemiah
,
to
abridge
the
extreamity
of
usury
:
compell
a
relaxation
of
debts
and
oppression
,
keepe
and
sanctifie
the
Sabbath
,
drive
the
Marchants
and
Sellers
of
meate
out
of
the
City
,
and
at
last
put
away
their
idolatrous
wives
:
but
also
will
not
suffer
the
Ammonites
and
Moabites
to
come
into
Gods
Temple
,
but
enforce
them
to
banishment
out
of
Ierusalem
.
For
as
you
read
how
Iacob
after
his
return
from
Laban
cleansed
his
house
of
the
idols
:
so
did
Nehemiah
in
despite
of
Eliashib
the
Priest
,
who
had
allyed
himselfe
to
Tobiah
a
stranger
and
idolater
,
put
him
from
his
lodging
,
and
cast
out
all
the
snuffe
out
of
his
chamber
,
which
in
the
text
is
likewise
called
cleansing
,
and
thus
thankes
be
to
God
,
our
great
Nehemiah
dealt
with
the
Papists
,
he
hath
not
onely
thought
them
as
prickes
and
thornes
in
the
sides
of
good
Christians
:
but
now
found
them
as
noy
some
and
infectious
weedes
in
the
Common
wealth
,
to
choake
and
eate
up
the
sweete
Flowers
,
and
springing
grasse
;
and
thus
hath
the
Church
of
God
example
enough
in
Scripture
to
be
an
enemy
to
Gods
enemies
,
and
fall
to
reformation
with
courage
and
magnanimity
.
Shall
such
a
man
as
I
flye
(
saith
Nehemiah
)
shall
such
a
King
as
I
(
saith
King
Charles
)
that
have
been
trayned
up
from
my
infancy
to
deny
Popery
,
and
suffer
my
Kingdome
of
great
Britaine
,
the
very
nursery
of
zealous
professors
,
and
mirrour
of
purity
and
piety
,
to
be
defiled
and
contaminated
with
the
poyson
of
superstition
,
and
now
I
have
recollected
my self
,
shall
I
give
way
to
rotten
and
filthy
policy
to
eat
upon
the
heart
of
true
Religion
,
or
suffer
private
ends
to
thicken
themselves
,
like
some
obscure
and
dangerous
cloud
,
to
stand
as
an
interposition
betweene
the
Sunny
splendor
of
Gods
word
,
and
the
faire
progresse
of
government
?
No
,
No
:
J
will
now
be
my selfe
,
and
therefore
if
either
the
Pope
,
or
Spain
deride
me
with
Michol
for
dancing
before
the
Arke
,
and
bringing
it
into
Gods
house
:
I
will
answere
with
David
,
I
will
yet
bee
more
vile
and
zealous
for
the
Lord
;
and
as
he
told
his
wife
;
that
therefore
God
had
taken
the
Kingdome
from
her
Father
,
and
invested
him
with
the
Diadem
:
so
may
King
Charles
answer
Spain
,
that
therefore
God
will
make
him
mighty
in
his
Provinces
,
in
despight
of
malignant
opposition
,
and
great
Britain
shall
not
be
onely
able
to
stand
firme
,
like
an
impregnable
Rock
in
all
honor
,
riches
,
&
prosperity
:
but
of
sufficiency
to
protect
distressed
neighbours
,
and
recover
unfortunate
and
surrepted
Provinces
.
Therefore
away
yee
Friests
and
Iesuites
,
packe
hence
for
your
lives
;
and
let
me
not
heare
any
further
of
your
daring
impostures
,
and
you
that
will
remaine
Papists
,
and
with
the
Adder
stoppe
your
eares
,
that
charme
the
Charmer
never
so
cunningly
,
he
shall
not
prevaile
to
remove
you
,
take
heed
and
be
warned
,
that
you
live
modestly
in
your
wilfulnesse
,
neither
daring
to
breake
our
Statutes
against
those
Locusts
of
Rome
,
nor
to
insult
your selves
,
or
be
offensive
to
any
civill
conversation
,
by
thewrong
defence
and
supportation
of
Romes
corrupted
Doctrine
.
For
I
protest
unto
you
by
the
faith
of
a
Religious
King
,
I
take
a
pleasure
in
hearing
,
what
God
said
to
Abraham
:
great
Britaine
,
and
how
are
our
hearts
cheered
,
as
you
read
of
the
Israelites
,
that
in
the
time
of
Salomon
rejoyced
with
one
another
,
and
made
merry
eating
and
drinking
under
their
owne
Vines
?
Thus
shall
we
see
the
backes
of
our
adversaries
,
and
by
Gods
speciall
favour
and
grace
the
banishment
of
Priests
and
Iesuites
:
But
yee
Magistrates
of
the
Common
wealth
,
let
them
not
imitate
the
Israelites
in
this
,
to
rob
the
Egyptians
in
their
departure
out
of
Egypt
?
Let
them
not
export
our
treasures
,
nor
enrich
other
Countries
with
our
spoyles
:
Let
not
your
Ladies
bestow
their
jewels
and
ornaments
upon
them
:
For
though
they
could
be
contented
to
love
them
with
gratuities
and
presents
,
yet
must
the
Common
wealth
reserve
some
secrets
of
State
,
not
to
be
impoverished
by
the
lavish
gifts
of
those
,
that
understand
not
the
Mystery
of
carying
wealth
out
of
the
Land
,
or
consuming
our
silver
in
trifles
,
let
none
of
their
houses
be
furnished
with
those
remnants
of
gew-gawes
,
wherein
the
ancient
idolaters
excelled
them
in
be
decking
their
idols
,
I
mean
their
medales
,
crucifixes
,
relickes
of
Saints
,
the
Wood
of
the
Crosse
,
the
milke
of
our
Lady
,
and
a
thousand
such
like
trumperies
fit
for
nothing
but
toyes
to
play
with
all
,
as
Apes
doe
with
Nut
shells
:
For
as
you
read
how
the
children
of
Israel
were
tainted
with
the
grosse
superstition
of
Egypt
:
so
must
needs
the
tender
hearts
of
your
women
be
captivated
with
the
reservation
of
these
things
:
Let
your
Pursevants
and
Officers
a
Gods
name
be
the
researchers
of
suspected
places
,
that
the
very
children
,
which
as
yet
,
know
no
harm
,
may
be
sent
to
the
Schooles
of
the
children
of
the
Prophets
,
and
by
that
meanes
learne
to
live
in
the
feare
of
God
,
and
dye
in
his
favour
:
Let
the
potent
men
be
disarmed
a
Gods
name
,
not
to
give
them
cause
to
thinke
the
better
of
themselves
,
as
if
they
were
to
be
feared
,
or
reputed
dangerous
and
politicke
:
but
as
you
take
knives
and
other
hurtfull
things
from
madde
men
to
prevent
mischiefe
,
that
they
neyther
endanger
others
,
nor
themselves
:
In
a
word
,
let
all
good
orders
be
observed
,
and
a
fashionable
body
of
a
religious
Common
wealth
erected
,
that
his
Majesties
person
may
be
secured
,
the
Prince
,
and
the
rest
of
that
Royall
issue
protected
and
pleased
,
the
honest
neighbours
sublevated
with
care
and
diligence
,
the
whole
Iland
flourishing
with
prosperity
and
confidence
,
the
poore
releeved
,
the
trades
restored
,
the
City
repayred
,
the
Marchant
countenanced
,
the
Souldiers
esteemed
,
the
Clergy-man
beloved
,
the
well
deserving
reverence
,
the
weake
supported
,
the
obstinate
finner
punished
,
the
offender
through
frailty
remitted
,
and
all
justifiable
actions
practised
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
comfort
of
our
owne
soules
.
Then
if
there
be
cause
of
warre
,
and
so
successe
fallen
,
Moses
and
Israell
shall
sing
a
song
of
Tryumph
to
the
Lord
,
and
Miriam
the
Prophetesse
shall
take
a
Timbrell
in
her
hand
,
and
all
the
women
goe
after
her
with
Timbrels
and
Dances
:
Then
if
there
be
the
flourishes
of
peace
,
and
that
Salomon
hath
finished
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
his
owne
house
,
great
Britaine
confesse
to
the
Lord
.
What
is
man
,
that
thou
shouldst
thinke
upon
him
,
or
the
sonne
of
man
,
that
thou
wilt
remember
him
?
And
so
prayse
the
Lord
in
his
Sanctuary
,
and
in
the
firmament
of
his
power
:
praise
him
in
his
mighty
acts
,
and
according
to
the
excellency
of
his
greatnesse
,
praise
him
for
thinking
vpon
vs
,
even
in
this
particular
of
suppressing
Papistry
,
and
banishing
the
Priests
and
Jesuites
.
I
will
meddle
with
no
matter
of
State
,
nor
adventure
traducing
for
selfe
love
,
or
advising
others
wiser
then
my selfe
,
but
keepe
close
to
the
shore
of
this
one
speciall
observation
:
Let
the
adversaries
of
Religion
say
what
they
can
to
accuse
a
Protestant
of
one
murther
,
whereas
God
and
the
world
knowes
,
that
not
onely
the
turbulencies
of
Europe
have
beene
blowne
up
with
Popish
breath
,
and
sufflation
of
Consistorian
Cardinals
:
but
the
fearefull
slaughters
of
Princes
have
beene
andaciously
prosecuted
,
eyther
by
Friers
and
Priests
,
or
such
instruments
,
whom
the
pestilent
Iesuites
have
seduced
:
what
state
then
in
the
world
(
especially
our
reformed
Churches
)
if
there
were
no
other
cause
then
this
affrighting
,
would
endure
them
in
the
government
,
and
therefore
now
this
must
needs
be
a
happinesse
to
England
,
that
at
this
instant
such
a
mercy
floweth
towards
us
,
as
a
Proclamation
against
them
.
How
Geneva
hath
continued
,
and
groaned
under
the
pressure
of
many
difficulties
,
yea
,
endured
divers
assaults
of
whole
Armies
,
and
volleies
of
shot
,
from
the
mounted
Cannons
against
her
;
and
yet
was
never
any
attempt
made
upon
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
her
adveisaries
by
her
procurement
,
or
suggestion
,
is
well
knowne
to
the
world
.
In
all
those
bloody
massacres
of
France
,
and
terrors
of
the
civill
warres
there
,
what
one
mischiefe
was
ever
conceived
against
the
persons
of
their
Kings
,
by
any
Protestants
,
and
who
but
Papists
durst
lay
hands
on
the
Lords
Annoynted
?
In
that
fiery
tryall
in
the
dayes
of
Queene
Mary
,
when
the
rages
of
Papists
made
them
more
furious
,
then
a
Beare
robbed
of
her
Whelpes
:
What
one
Protestant
slipped
out
of
the
circle
of
obedience
,
to
put
her
in
suspition
of
her
life
,
yea
it
is
well
knowne
,
that
the
Protestants
of
Suffolke
,
advanced
her
to
the
Crowne
though
they
were
the
first
that
felt
the
effect
of
her
ingratitude
.
In
all
the
troubles
of
Germany
,
and
exactions
upon
the
free
Cities
,
how
securely
did
the
Emperours
goe
on
concerning
their
owne
persons
,
and
when
did
you
read
of
a
Pope
slaine
,
but
as
they
poysoned
one
another
.
I
will
name
but
one
thing
in
the
Low-Countries
,
and
that
is
the
pride
and
cruelty
of
the
Duke
of
Alva
;
so
that
if
ever
an
excuse
might
have
been
made
for
taking
away
a
Tyrants
life
,
it
might
here
in
some
action
or
other
,
have
received
a
justifiable
forme
,
and
yet
Alva
lived
without
touch
,
and
practised
all
manner
of
wickednesse
without
controule
:
whereas
on
the
contrary
side
in
these
Countries
formerly
mentioned
,
there
hath
bin
a
1000
severall
murthers
committed
upon
the
bodies
of
publicke
and
private
persons
,
or
at
least
prosecuted
with
resolution
to
be
actuated
upon
advantage
by
Popish
Priests
,
Iesuites
,
and
their
Officials
,
and
Ministers
:
Is
it
not
high
time
then
to
banish
them
our
Common-wealth
,
or
do
as
we
have
done
(
and
so
it
shall
be
no
new
matter
or
devise
of
punishment
)
even
hang
them
up
at
Tyborne
,
or
detrude
them
into
the
house
of
slaughter
,
where
Justice
is
predominant
.
Marke
for
Gods
sake
,
marke
the
secrets
of
good
husbandry
,
he
that
means
to
till
and
manure
a
woddy
ground
,
must
leave
no
stumps
within
touch
,
lest
he
break
his
plow
in
the
labour
,
and
see
fresh
sciences
,
as
sprigs
to
sprout
up
to
choake
the
Corne
:
the
best
way
is
to
stocke
up
roote
and
tinde
,
and
follow
the
picke-axe
with
a
spade
,
that
the
ground
may
be
throughly
searched
indeede
;
and
so
must
great
Britaine
do
with
this
brood
of
Vipers
,
eyther
pull
out
their
stings
,
or
chap
them
in
peeces
:
For
so
were
the
Priests
of
Baal
served
at
severall
times
,
and
in
severall
places
by
Gedeon
,
Iohn
,
Elias
,
Iosias
,
and
other
good
Priests
and
Princes
:
but
seeing
this
good
beginning
of
our
gracious
and
iudicious
King
,
in
quenching
the
smoake
of
these
fire-brands
,
which
in
time
would
eyther
have
blinded
our
eyes
,
or
put
them
cleane
out
,
hath
cheered
our
hearts
,
and
powred
the
balme
of
Gilead
into
our
wounds
,
let
him
have
the
glory
of
his
owne
handy-worke
,
and
great
Britaine
the
joy
,
and
so
both
he
,
Great
Britaine
,
and
every
true
Christian
retribute
all
possible
thankes
to
the
ancient
of
dayes
,
whose
haires
are
as
white
as
wooll
,
and
dyes
as
a
flame
of
fire
;
and
to
the
voyce
that
commandeth
us
out
of
Babylon
,
lest
we
be
destroyed
in
her
abominations
:
For
Babylon
is
fallen
,
is
fallen
,
that
great
City
,
because
she
made
all
the
Nations
drinke
of
the
Wine
of
the
wrath
of
her
Fornication
.
