AT
the
earnest
request
of
some
Friends
I
have
been
prevailed
with
to
publish
this
small
Treatise
,
which
had
been
sooner
done

had
it
not
been
seized
in
the
Press
in
the
Year
1667
;
by
which
the
Reader
will
easily
see
what
a
prospect
the
Author
then
had
of
the
Miseries
we
now
groan
under
,
and
with
what
Zeal
he
then
earnestly
laboured
to
open
the
eyes
of
Englishmen
,
against
the
cursed
Plots
and
Contrivances
of
the
bloud-thirsty
Papists

THE
PREFACE
.
FOrasmuch
as
the
great
and
sudden
growth
of
Popery
in
these
three
Nations
,
especially
in
England
,
(
which
hath
now
for
a
long
time
,
through
the
Merciful
Goodness
of
God
,
flourished
and
been
happy
in
the
True
Reformed
Protestant
Religion
)
is
now
sufficiently
manifest
to
all
who
have
not
either
blinded
their
own
Eies
,
or
been
blinded
by
Satan
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
means
whereby
this
great
Misery
and
Mystery
of
Iniquity
hath
been
brought
thus
far
,
to
this
dreadful
and
unhappy
success
,
are
also
as
fully
manifest
,
to
wit
:
First
,
The
great
Countenance
and
Incouragement
that
this
Heretical
and
Bloudy
Religion
hath
had
from
Persons
of
Power
and
Authority
,
together
with
all
the
detestable
Professors
and
Promoters
thereof
,
Papists
,
Priests
and
Jesuites
,
who
have
their
daily
Councils
and
Cabals
,
in
the
Highest
Places
,
to
promote
this
great
Design
of
the
Devil
,
and
of
his
First-Born
on
Earth
the
Pope
,
even
to
set
up
the
old
Damnable
Superstition
and
Doctrine
of
that
Man
of
Sin
,
whom
the
Weekly
Pamphleteer
terms
(
very
devoutly
)
His
Holiness
,
and
yet
is
no
other
indeed
and
truth
,
than
His
Wickedness
;
the
Old
Enemy
of
Christ
and
his
true
Christians
and
Followers
,
the
Son
of
Perdition
;
the
Angel
of
the
Bottomless
Pit
;
the
Destroyer
and
Murderer
of
Souls
and
Bodies
;
the
impudent
Agent
of
Hell
upon
Earth
;
the
Devils
chief
Servant
and
Factor
for
his
Kingdom
of
Darkness
;
the
Monster
of
Monsters
,
who
hath
abused
,
abased
and
vassalized
all
Christian
Princes
,
made
himself
superiour
to
them
,
yea
their
very
Lord
and
Master
even
in
their
own
Dominions
;
who
hath
inforced
all
their
People
,
not
only
by
his
frivolous
Excommunications
,
but
also
by
Fire
and
Faggot
,
by
Imprisonments
,
Tortures
and
all
manner
of
exquisite
Cruelties
:
(
which
are
the
only
Weapons
of
his
Warfare
)
to
bow
down
to
this
Beast
,
and
to
own
him
as
God
,
sitting
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
not
only
directly
against
God
,
but
most
Proudly
and
Insolently
above
him
:
Who
hath
pilled
and
polled
them
of
all
their
Money
and
Riches
(
which
is
the
only
Fish
this
great
Fisher
of
Rome
fishes
for
)
who
hath
disturbed
,
interdicted
,
disordered
,
wasted
and
overturned
whole
Empires
,
Kingdoms
and
Nations
,
at
his
Wicked
Pleasure
,
and
hath
been
no
other
through
all
Ages
than
Satans
eminent
Vicegerent
upon
Earth
.
This
,
this
prodigious
and
unparalell'd
Wretch
,
must
now
in
the
midst
of
three
Protestant
Nations
,
be
publickly
stiled
His
Holiness
forsooth
!
who
only
is
holy
as
Satan
is
holy
;
for
it
may
truly
be
said
of
him
,
above
any
other
,
He
is
of
his
Father
the
Devil
,
and
of
his
works
he
doth
.
I
say
the
countenancing
of
this
Damnable
Religion
,
and
of
this
abominable
Sect
,
and
of
the
chief
H
ad
of
it
,
the
Pope
,
is
one
great
cause
of
the
new
Increase
of
this
Catholique
Her●si●
amongst
us
.
Secondly
,
Another
cause
is
,
The
open
and
notorious
discountenancing
,
discouraging
,
silencing
,
displacing
and
banishing
from
the
Chief
Cities
,
and
Towns
in
England
,
all
the
ab
e
,
faithful
,
and
godly
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Who
being
the
diligent
,
painful
and
sincere
Teachers
of
his
true
Doctrine
,
set
forth
in
his
Gospel
for
the
salvation
of
Souls
,
and
for
the
reducing
the
lost
Sheep
to
the
fold
of
the
true
Shepherd
,
were
the
greatest
and
strongest
Bulwark
against
Popery
in
the
Nation
.
For
His
Wickedness
,
i.
e.
the
Pope
and
his
Wicked
Followers
,
knew
well
enough
that
Popery
could
never
t●ke
root
again
and
prosper
in
these
Nations
,
if
these
Mens
Mouths
were
open
.
They
knew
well
enough
that
their
dark
Doctrine
and
Kingdom
could
never
prevail
,
where
the
clear
light
of
the
Gospel
shines
.
And
therefore
they
used
their
chief
Artifices
and
Satanical
Subtilties
,
to
seduce
the
Secular
Authority
to
run
on
their
Errand
,
and
to
do
their
Drudgery
;
even
to
Suppress
,
Imprison
and
Banish
Thes●
,
upon
slight
and
forged
Pretences
,
and
in
their
stead
to
foist
in
a
number
of
ignorant
,
unlearned
,
loose
,
worldly
,
profane
and
debauched
Priests
,
in
every
City
,
Town
and
Parish
;
Men
generally
,
who
neither
understand
the
Law
nor
the
Gospel
,
neither
know
God
nor
Themselves
,
nor
are
endued
with
any
sound
and
serious
knowledge
of
any
thing
;
that
so
these
keeping
away
the
Light
of
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
from
the
people
,
they
(
poor
Souls
)
might
walk
in
darkn
ss
,
and
not
know
whither
they
go
,
though
they
should
be
led
into
Popery
again
,
which
is
the
Open
,
Broad
Way
to
Hell
.
Thirdly
,
Another
Cause
is
,
The
letting
loose
the
reins
to
all
mann●r
of
Ungodliness
and
Unrighteousn
ss
whatsoever
,
that
Men
,
not
onely
without
controul
,
but
with
countenance
,
may
be
as
wicked
as
they
can
be
in
the
World
;
may
Whore
,
commit
Adultery
,
Revel
,
Drink
,
Swear
,
Blaspheme
,
Reproach
the
Holy
Word
of
God
,
Vilifie
his
Ministers
,
Abuse
and
Persecute
his
People
,
in
the
greatest
freedom
the
Devil
can
give
;
whereby
Hell
is
let
loose
upon
Earth
,
and
the
Smoak
of
the
Bottomless
Pit
,
that
is
,
Sin
and
Wickedness
of
all
Sorts
and
Sizes
,
hath
filled
and
darkened
the
Nation
;
and
Men
are
gone
to
the
highest
extent
of
Wickedness
that
can
be
practised
on
Earth
;
that
if
they
would
be
worse
,
they
must
go
to
Hell
in
Hell
.
And
that
which
hath
had
a
Stretched-out
Arm
to
bring
about
this
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
amongst
Men
,
is
,
the
frequent
acting
and
frequenting
of
Stage-Plays
,
wherein
the
most
Holy
and
Dreadful
Name
of
God
is
prostituted
to
the
Abuse
and
Contempt
of
every
base
Villain
;
where
the
Preaching
of
the
Word
and
Prayer
,
the
Highest
and
most
Sacred
Ordinances
of
God
,
are
scorned
and
jeered
in
the
presence
of
great
Persons
,
where
all
Vice
,
and
Wickedness
,
and
Filthiness
are
made
familiar
and
pl●asant
to
the
People
.
These
are
the
Nurs●ries
of
Hell
,
and
the
Seed-plots
of
Damnation
,
whereby
most
of
our
greatest
Persons
,
and
of
the
Gentry
are
corrupted
,
and
rendred
wholly
useless
for
any
worthy
or
noble
employment
in
the
Commonwealth
:
they
being
through
their
influence
become
bruitish
,
and
without
understanding
,
worse
than
the
Beasts
that
perish
,
and
viler
than
the
Earth
.
For
the
Pope
knows
,
that
as
Christ
gathers
his
Kingdom
here
in
the
world
,
of
the
Elect
and
Faithful
;
so
his
Wickedness
must
gather
his
Kingdom
out
of
th●m
that
perish
,
who
have
made
shipwrack
of
Faith
and
good
Consci●nce
,
and
are
throughly
practised
to
commit
all
inquity
with
gr●ediness
.
And
now
when
Men
are
brought
to
this
sad
pass
,
that
they
are
of
no
Religion
at
all
,
but
are
very
Atheists
,
so
that
they
can
mock
at
the
Name
of
God
,
and
at
his
Holy
Word
,
and
most
Blessed
Spirit
,
then
are
they
become
sit
Subjects
to
receive
Antichrists
Religion
,
which
can
please
them
with
Organs
and
Anthems
,
and
with
Vain-Shews
,
Ceremonies
and
May-Games
,
and
thereby
can
stifle
their
unquiet
Consciences
:
and
He
by
his
false
Pardons
and
Indulgences
,
can
yet
drive
them
more
headlong
into
Sin
;
bearing
them
in
hand
in
the
mean
time
,
that
though
his
favour
,
(
which
also
is
to
be
procured
by
Money
)
though
they
commit
all
these
abominations
,
they
are
notwithstanding
in
a
fair
way
to
Heaven
.
By
which
Catholique
Cheat
of
his
,
he
destroys
innumerable
Souls
of
those
whom
God
in
his
just
Judgment
,
because
they
received
not
the
Truth
of
the
Gospel
in
the
love
of
it
,
hath
given
up
to
his
strong
delusions
,
to
believe
his
Lyes
.
By
these
Three
Means
,
besides
others
,
things
are
brought
to
that
pass
,
that
Popery
is
become
the
onely
safe
and
thriving
way
;
and
thousands
of
People
whose
Names
are
not
Written
in
the
Book
of
Life
,
seeing
safety
,
favour
and
preferments
attend
it
,
run
headlong
to
it
,
and
greedily
take
Antichrists
Mark
in
their
Forehead
and
in
their
right
hand
,
for
the
sake
of
present
security
and
profit
,
not
considering
their
latter
end
.
Yea
,
they
are
become
so
thorough
and
hearty
in
this
their
new
Undertaking
for
the
Catholique
Cause
,
that
through
the
help
they
have
received
by
Money
and
Arms
,
together
with
their
strong
Incouragements
from
Rome
,
(
which
is
the
chief
Wheel
in
this
Motion
)
they
are
now
ready
at
a
Day
and
an
Hour
,
when
the
Watch-Word
shall
be
given
,
(
that
I
may
use
their
own
word
of
Mystery
)
To
begin
their
Heats
,
that
is
,
to
rise
up
and
destroy
all
that
are
,
or
are
called
Protestants
,
of
what
Degree
,
Condition
,
or
Sex
soever
,
by
Fire
and
Sword
,
and
other
Methods
of
Destruction
;
and
not
to
leave
any
of
their
Persons
,
or
so
much
as
their
Names
,
if
it
may
be
,
to
survive
in
this
Nation
.
This
is
like
to
be
their
first
attempt
,
and
had
been
put
in
Execution
before
this
,
if
the
Lord
himself
,
whose
Eyes
behold
the
Nations
,
had
not
most
graciously
disappointed
them
.
And
their
second
Design
,
which
stands
behind
the
Curtain
,
is
like
the
first
,
to
wit
,
if
that
succeed
,
then
afterwards
to
destroy
all
the
English
Bloud
,
against
which
they
have
the
greatest
Antipathy
,
and
to
plant
this
Land
with
French
and
other
Foreigners
,
that
so
they
may
throughly
restore
it
to
its
former
Popish
Splendor
,
to
the
great
Satisfaction
of
all
Popish
Christendom
:
Wherefore
(
if
it
be
possible
)
and
if
it
be
the
good
Pleasure
of
the
Lord
to
put
a
Stop
,
(
and
Oh
that
it
might
be
a
full
Point
and
Period
!
)
to
these
Bold
Intrusions
of
Popery
,
and
to
all
the
Cruel
Designs
in
the
Breast
of
it
;
it
was
thought
meet
for
the
common
utility
of
all
Protestants
and
Englishmen
,
to
represent
afresh
unto
them
the
Memorable
Acts
of
Henry
the
VIII
.
King
of
England
,
for
the
extirpating
the
Pope
and
his
Cursed
Religion
,
out
of
his
Dominion
.
And
what
He
saw
so
great
cause
to
reject
and
cast
out
as
Abominable
and
Intollerable
,
upon
such
unanswerable
grounds
as
He
expresseth
;
sure
no
man
that
is
in
his
right
Wits
,
and
of
a
sound
Judgment
,
hath
any
just
ground
to
endeavour
to
bring
in
again
.
And
this
thou
thy self
,
whoever
thou
art
,
that
art
either
in
the
right
Faith
of
a
Christian
,
or
in
the
right
Wits
of
a
Man
,
wilt
judge
,
if
thou
shalt
wisely
and
impartially
r●ad
,
and
observe
what
followeth
.

had
commanded
,
&c.
Besides
this
,
he
alledgeth
also
the
example
of
King
Ezechias
,
2
Paralyp
.
28.
He
alledgeth
moreover
the
example
and
fact
of
Justinian
,
which
made
Laws
touching
the
Faith
,
Bishops
,
Clerks
,
Hereticks
,
and
such
other
.
Aaron
(
saith
he
)
obeyed
Moses
,
Salomon
gave
sentence
upon
Abiathar
the
High
Priest
.
Jonathas
,
Now
have
we
made
thee
this
day
the
High
Priest
of
thy
people
,
&c.
So
did
Demetrius
to
Simon
.
Then
coming
to
the
words
of
Christ
spoken
to
Peter
,
Matthew
16.
Steph.
Wint.
And
where
he
reasoneth
of
the
Kings
Style
and
Title
,
being
called
the
King
of
England
and
of
France
,
Defender
of
the
Faith
,
Lord
of
Ireland
,
and
Supreme
Head
in
earth
of
the
Church
of
England
immediately
under
Christ
,
&c.
thus
he
addeth
his
mind
and
censure
,
saying
,
That
he
seeth
no
cause
in
this
Title
why
any
man
should
be
offended
,
that
the
King
is
called
the
Head
of
the
Church
of
England
,
rather
than
of
the
Realm
of
England
;
and
addeth
his
reason
thereunto
,
saying
,
If
the
Prince
and
King
of
England
be
the
Head
of
his
Kingdom
,
that
is
,
of
all
Englishmen
that
be
his
Subjects
,
is
there
any
cause
why
the
same
English
Subjects
should
not
be
subject
to
the
same
Head
likewise
,
in
this
respect
because
they
are
Christians
,
that
is
to
say
,
for
the
title
of
Godliness
,
as
though
that
God
,
which
is
the
cause
of
all
Obedience
,
should
now
be
the
cause
of
Rebellion
?
At
length
thus
he
concludeth
with
an
Exclamation
saying
,
To
say
(
saith
he
)
that
a
King
is
the
Head
of
a
Kingdom
,
and
not
of
the
Church
,
what
an
absurd
and
a
foolish
saying
is
this
?
Paul
making
no
exception
nor
distinction
of
Subjection
,
save
onely
of
that
which
belongeth
to
God
,
willeth
all
men
to
obey
their
Princes
;
and
what
Princes
?
Those
Princes
which
bear
the
sword
.
And
although
we
are
bound
by
the
Scripture
to
obey
our
Bishops
and
Spiritual
Pastors
of
the
Church
,
yet
that
obedience
diminisheth
nothing
the
chief
and
head
Authority
that
ought
to
be
given
to
the
Prince
,
no
more
than
the
obedience
of
the
Servant
to
his
Master
,
or
of
the
Wife
to
her
Husband
,
exempteth
them
from
Subjection
due
to
their
Superiour
Powers
.
And
herewithall
he
inferreth
a
principle
of
the
Law
;
Again
,
whereas
the
Bishop
of
Rome
under
the
name
of
Peter
doth
appropriate
to
himself
the
highest
place
in
the
Church
,
for
that
he
is
the
Successor
of
Peter
.
Thereunto
he
answereth
in
one
word
,
but
in
that
one
word
he
answereth
enough
and
to
the
full
;
I
would
(
saith
he
)
he
were
,
After
this
,
in
prosecuting
the
Argument
of
Peters
Confession
,
he
argueth
thus
and
saith
;
Item
,
If
the
Scholar
ought
not
to
be
above
the
Master
,
how
then
could
either
Peter
take
that
upon
him
,
which
Christ
his
Master
so
constantly
did
refuse
?
Or
how
can
the
Bishop
of
Rome
now
claim
that
by
Succession
,
whereof
no
example
is
to
be
found
either
in
the
Head
,
or
his
Predecessor
before
him
?
For
so
we
read
in
Eusebius
,
both
of
Peter
,
James
,
and
John
,
that
they
did
arrogate
no
such
Primacy
unto
them
,
but
were
content
that
James
surnamed
Justus
should
be
the
Bishop
of
the
Apostles
.
And
as
for
the
name
and
signification
of
the
word
Primatus
,
i.
Primacy
,
Confirm
thy
Brethren
,
but
not
thy
Subjects
.
And
though
he
were
bid
of
the
Lord
to
confirm
his
Brethren
,
yet
was
he
not
bid
to
exercise
an
Impery
upon
his
Brethren
,
for
so
were
they
not
his
Brethren
but
his
Subjects
.
Thus
after
many
other
reasons
and
persuasions
contained
in
the
said
Book
De
obedientia
,
(
for
I
do
but
superficially
skim
over
the
top
onely
of
his
Probations
and
Arguments
)
finally
in
the
end
of
his
Peroration
he
concludeth
the
whole
summ
of
his
mind
in
this
effect
;
first
denying
that
the
Bishop
of
Rome
had
ever
any
such
extern
Iurisdiction
assigned
to
him
absolutely
from
God
,
to
reign
over
Kings
and
Princes
;
for
the
probation
whereof
he
hath
alledged
sufficiently
(
as
he
saith
)
the
examples
and
doings
of
Christ
himself
,
which
ought
to
be
to
us
all
a
sufficient
Document
.
And
as
concerning
the
term
of
Primacy
,
albeit
it
be
used
sometimes
of
the
Fathers
,
yet
the
matter
being
well
considered
and
rightly
expounded
,
maketh
nothing
for
the
large
Dominion
of
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
which
now
he
doth
usurp
.
Also
as
for
the
Prerogatives
granted
unto
Peter
,
by
the
which
Prerogatives
our
Saviour
would
crown
his
own
Gifts
given
unto
him
,
crowning
not
the
flesh
and
bloud
of
Peter
,
but
the
marvellous
testimony
of
his
Confession
,
all
this
maketh
nothing
for
the
Popes
purpose
.
Likewise
as
concerning
the
Local
Succession
of
Peter
,
Steph.
Wint.
takes
his
Vale
of
the
Pope
,
but
not
his
Vltimum
Vale.
And
thus
Stephen
Winchester
taking
his
leave
,
and
bidding
the
Pope
farewell
,
endeth
with
a
friendly
Exhortation
,
willing
him
to
be
wise
and
circumspect
,
and
not
to
strive
stubbornly
against
the
truth
.
The
light
of
the
Gospel
(
saith
he
)
so
spreadeth
his
beams
in
all
mens
eyes
,
that
the
works
of
the
Gospel
be
known
,
the
Mysteries
of
Christs
Doctrine
are
opened
,
both
learned
and
unlearned
Men
and
Women
,
being
English
born
,
do
see
and
perceive
that
they
have
nothing
to
do
with
Rome
,
nor
with
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
but
that
every
Prince
in
his
own
Dominion
is
to
be
taken
and
accepted
as
a
Vicar
of
God
,
and
Vicegerent
of
Christ
in
his
own
bounds
.
And
therefore
seeing
this
Order
is
taken
of
God
,
and
one
in
the
Church
should
bear
the
Office
of
Teaching
,

TO
all
and
singular
Children
of
the
holy
Mother
Church
,
to
whose
hands
these
presents
shall
come
,
Whereas
now
of
late
it
hath
risen
up
in
question
among
us
concerning
the
Power
of
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
which
he
doth
both
claim
to
himself
by
the
holy
Scripture
,
over
all
Provinces
and
Nations
in
Christendom
,
and
hath
now
of
long
time
exercised
in
this
Realm
of
England
:
And
forasmuch
as
our
Censure
concerning
the
cause
is
required
,
to
wit
,
Whether
the
Bishop
of
Rome
hath
any
Power
or
Authority
in
this
Kingdom
of
England
allotted
to
him
by
God
in
the
Scripture
,
more
than
any
other
forein
Bishop
,
or
no
?
We
thought
it
therefore
good
reason
,
and
our
duty
for
the
searching
out
of
the
verity
of
the
said
Question
,
that
we
should
imploy
therein
our
whole
endeavour
and
study
,
whereby
we
might
tender
and
publish
to
the
world
what
our
reason
and
censure
is
touching
the
premisses
.
For
therefore
we
suppose
that
Vniversities
were
first
provided
and
instituted
of
Princes
,
to
the
end
that
doth
the
people
of
Christ
might
in
the
Law
of
God
be
instructed
,
and
also
that
false
Errors
(
if
any
did
rise
)
might
through
the
vigilant
care
and
industry
of
learned
Divines
be
discussed
,
extinguished
and
utterly
rooted
out
.
For
the
which
cause
we
in
our
Assemblies
and
Convocations
(
after
our
accustomed
manner
)
resorting
▪
and
conferring
together
upon
the
Question
aforesaid
,
and
studiously
debating
and
deliberating
with
our selves
,
how
and
by
what
order
we
might
best
proceed
for
the
finding
out
of
the
truth
of
the
matter
;
and
at
length
choosing
out
certain
of
the
best
learned
Doctors
and
Batchelors
of
Divinity
,
and
other
Masters
,
have
committed
to
them
in
charge
,
studiously
to
insearch
and
peruse
the
places
of
holy
Scripture
,
by
the
viewing
and
conferring
of
which
places
together
,
they
might
certifie
us
what
is
to
be
said
to
the
Question
propounded
.
At

House

Dom.

The
publick
and
general
Agreement
of
the
whole
Clergy
of
England

and
ratified
in
their
own
publick
Book
called
The
Bishops
Book
,
Anno
1534.
with
the
Names
of
the
Witnesses
.
WE
think
it
convenient
,
And
as
for
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
it
was
many
hundred
years
after
Christ
before
he
could
acquire
or
get
any
Primacy
or
Governance
above
any
other
Bishops
out
of
his
Province
in
Italy
;
since
the
which
time
he
hath
ever
usurped
more
and
more
.
And
though
some
part
of
his
power
was
given
to
him
by
the
consent
of
the
Emperours
,
Kings
and
Princes
,
and
by
the
consent
also
of
the
Clergy
in
General
Councils
assembled
;
yet
surely
he
attained
the
most
part
thereof
by
marvellous
subtilty
and
craft
,
First
,
the
General
Council
of
Nice
decreed
,
that
the
Patriarchs
of
Alexandria
and
Antiochia
should
have
like
power
over
the
Countries
about
those
Cities
,
as
the
Bishops
of
Rome
had
over
the
Countries
about
Rome
.
In
the
Council
of
Milevitan
it
was
decreed
,
that
if
a
Clerk
of
Africk
would
appeal
out
of
Africk
un●o
any
Bishop
beyond
the
Sea
,
he
should
be
taken
as
a
person
Excommunicate
.
In
the
General
Council
of
Constantinople
the
first
it
was
likewise
decreed
,
that
every
Cause
between
any
persons
should
be
determined
within
the
Provinces
where
the
matters
did
lie
;
and
that
no
Bishop
should
exercise
any
power
out
of
his
own
Diocese
or
Province
.
And
this
was
also
the
mind
of
holy
S.
Cyprian
,
and
of
other
holy
men
of
Africa
.
To
conclude
,
therefore
the
Pope
hath
no
su
h
Primacy
g●ven
him
,
either
by
the
words
of
Scripture
,
or
by
any
General
Council
,
or
by
common
consent
of
the
holy
Ca●holick
Church
.
●●●rein
the
said
Bishops
of
Rome
do
no●
nely
abuse
and
pervert
the
true
sense
and
meaning
of
Christs
Word
,
but
they
do
also
clean
contrary
to
the
use
and
custom
of
the
Primitive
Church
,
and
so
do
manifestly
violate
as
well
the
holy
Canons
made
in
the
Church
immediately
after
the
time
of
the
Apostles
,
as
also
the
Decrees
and
Constitutions
made
in
that
behalf
by
the
holy
Fathers
of
the
Catholick
Church
assembled
in
the
first
General
Councils
.
And
finally
,
they
do
transgress
their
own
profession
made
in
their
Creation
.
For
all
the
Bishops
of
Rome
always
,
when
they
be
consecrated
and
made
Bishops
of
that
See
,
do
make
a
solemn
profession
and
vow
,
that
they
shall
inviolably
observe
and
keep
all
the
Ordinances
made
in
the
first
eight
General
Councils
;
among
the
which
it
is
specially
provided
and
enacted
,
that
all
Causes
shall
be
finished
and
determined
within
the
Province
where
the
same
begun
,
and
that
by
the
Bishops
of
the
same
Province
,
and
that
no
Bishop
shall
exercise
any
Iurisdiction
out
of
his
own
Province
:
And
shortly
after
followeth
,
And
for
the
better
confirmation
of
this
part
,
we
think
it
also
convenient
that
all
Bishops
and
Preachers
shall
instruct
and
teach
the
people
committed
unto
their
spiritual
charge
,
that
Christ
did
by
express
words
prohibit
,
that
none
of
his
Apostles
,
nor
any
of
their
Successors
,
should
,
under
the
pretence
of
the
Authority
given
unto
them
by
Christ
,
take
upon
them
the
Authority
of
the
Sword
;
that
is
to
say
,
the
Authority
of
Kings
,
or
of
any
Civil
Power
in
this
world
,
yea
or
any
Authority
to
make
Laws
or
Ordinances
in
causes
appertaining
unto
Civil
Powers
.
Truth
it
is
,
the
Priests
and
Bishops
may
execute
all
such
Temporal
Power
and
Iurisdion
,
as
is
committed
unto
them
by
the
Ordinance
and
Authority
of
Kings
,
or
other
Civil
Powers
,
and
by
the
consent
of
the
people
,
(
as
Officers
and
Ministers
under
the
said
Kings
and
Powers
)
so
long
as
it
shall
please
the
said
Kings
and
People
to
permit
and
suffer
them
so
to
use
and
execute
the
same
.
Notwithstanding
if
any
Bishop
,
of
what
estate
or
dignity
soever
he
be
,
be
he
Bishop
of
Rome
,
or
of
any
other
City
,
Province
,
or
Diocese
,
do
presume
to
take
upon
him
Authority
or
Iurisdiction
in
causes
or
matters
which
appertain
unto
Kings
,
and
the
civil
powers
and
their
Courts
,
and
will
maintain
or
think
that
he
may
so
do
by
the
Authority
of
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
although
the
Kings
and
Princes
would
not
permit
and
suffer
him
so
to
do
;
no
doubt
that
Bishop
is
not
worthy
to
be
called
a
Bishop
,
but
rather
a
Tyrant
,
This
Doctrine
was
subscribed
and
allowed
by
the
witness
and
testimony
of
these
Bishops
and
other
Learned
Men
,
whose
Names
hereunder
follow
,
as
appeareth
in

A
Protestation
in
the
name
of
the
King
,
and
the
whole
Council
and
Clergy
of
England
,
why
they
refuse
to
come
to
the
Popes
Council
at
his
call
.
SEeing
that
the
Bishop
of
Rome
calleth
Learned
Men
from
all
parts
,
conducting
them
by
great
rewards
,
But
for
a
season
let
us
(
as
a
sort
of
Blindlings
do
)
grant
that
he
may
call
us
,
and
that
he
hath
Authority
so
to
do
;
yet
(
we
pray
you
)
may
not
all
men
see
,
what
availeth
it
to
come
to
this
Council
,
Is
this
the
way
to
help
things
afflict
?
to
redress
troubled
Religion
?
to
lift
up
oppressed
truth
?
Shall
men
this
way
know
whether
the
Roman
Bishops
(
which
in
very
deed
are
,
We
would
have
a
Council
,
we
desire
it
,
yea
and
crave
nothing
so
oft
of
God
as
that
we
may
have
one
.
But
yet
we
will
that
it
be
such
as
Christian
men
ought
to
have
,
that
is
,
frank
and
free
,
where
every
man
without
fear
may
say
his
mind
.
We
desire
that
it
be
an
holy
Council
,
O
Fools
!
O
wicked
men
!
may
we
not
justly
so
call
you
?
Are
ye
not
Fools
,
which
being
long
suspected
not
onely
of
Princes
,
but
of
all
Christian
People
in
a
manner
,
that
in
no
case
you
could
be
brought
to
a
General
Council
,
plainly
shew
the
whole
world
,
that
by
these
your
Conciliables
,
your
Hutter-mutter
in
corners
,
you
take
away
all
hope
of
lawful
Catholick
and
General
Council
?
Are
you
not
wicked
which
so
hate
Truth
,
And
we
pray
you
,
We
will
(
these
now
laid
apart
)
turn
our
Oration
unto
such
things
,
as
privately
touch
both
us
King
Henry
the
Eighth
,
and
all
Englishmen
.
Is
it
unknown
to
any
man
what
mind
Paul
the
Bishop
of
Rome
beareth
to
us
King
Henry
the
Eighth
,
to
us
his
Nobility
,
to
us
his
Graces
Bishops
,
and
to
us
all
his
Graces
Subjects
▪
for
the
pulling
down
of
his
usurped
Power
and
proud
Primacy
,
for
expelling
of
his
usurped
Iurisdiction
,
and
for
delivering
of
our
Realm
from
his
grievous
bondage
and
pollage
?
Who
seeth
not
him
even
enflamed
with
hatred
against
us
,
We
will
not
rehearse
here
how
many
our
Benefits
bestowed
upon
Roman
Bishops
be
lost
;
They
have
by
sundry
ways
made
us
privy
how
much
we
be
bound
to
them
.
It
went
nigh
their
hearts
to
see
the
judgment
of
July
,
of
Clement
the
seventh
,
of
Paul
the
third
,
nothing
to
be
regarded
with
us
.
They
be
afraid
if
we
should
sustain
no
hurt
,
because
we
justly
rejected
their
Primacy
,
that
other
Princes
would
begin
to
do
likewise
,
Surely
,
except
God
take
away
our
right
wits
,
not
onely
his
Authority
shall
be
driven
out
for
ever
,
but
his
Name
also
shall
be
forgotten
in
England
.
And
so
the
King
proceeding
in
the
said
his
Protestation
declareth
moreover
,
how
the
Pope
after
he
had
summoned
his
Council
first
to
be
kept
at
Mantua
,
No
,
Again
,
if
they
lean
to
Custom
,
Servus
Servorum
evil
agreeth
your
new
forged
Dignity
.
Erudimini
qui
judicatis
terram
,
Get
you
Learning
you
that
judge
the
earth
;
and
excogitate
some
Remedy
for
these
so
many
Diseases
of
the
sick
Church
.
They
that
be
wisest
do
despair
of
a
General
Council
;
Favour
our
doings
,
O
Christian
Princes
,
your
Honour
and
ancient
Majesty
is
restored
.
Remember
there
is
nothing
peetaining
so
much
to
a
Princes
Honour
,
as
to
set
forth
Truth
,
and
to
help
Religion
.
Take
you
heed
that
their
Deceits
work
not
more
mischief
than
your
Vertue
can
do
good
,
and
everlasting
War
we
would
all
Princes
had
with
this
Papacy
.
As
for
their
Decrees
,
so
hearken
to
them
,
that
if
in
this
Mantuan
Assembly
things
be
well
done
ye
take
them
,
but
not
as
authorized
by
them
,
but
that
Truth
,
and
things
that
maintain
Religion
,
are
to
be
taken
at
all
mens
hands
.
And
even
as
we
will
admit
things
well
made
,
so
if
there
be
any
thing
determined
in
prejudice
of
Truth
,
for
the
maintainance
of
their
evil
grounded
Primacy
,
or
that
may
hurt
the
Authority
of
Kings
,
we
protest
unto
the
whole
world
,
that
we
neither
allow
it
,
nor
will
at
any
time
allow
it
.
Ye
have
,
Christian
Readers
,
our
mind
concerning
the
General
Council
;
we
think
you
all
see
that
Paul
and
his
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
Abbats
,
Monks
,
Friers
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Rabblement
,
do
nothing
less
intend
,
than
the
Knowledge
of
Truth
.
Ye
see
this
is
no
time
meet
,
Mantua
no
place
meet
for
a
General
Council
;
and
though
they
were
both
meet
,
yet
except
some
other
call
this
Council
,
you
see
that
we
neither
need
to
come
nor
to
send
.
You
have
heard
how
every
Prince
in
his
own
Realm
may
quiet
things
amiss
.
If
there
be
any
of
you
that
can
shew
us
a
better
way
,
we
promise
with
all
our
hearty
desire
to
do
that
that
shall
be
thought
best
for
the
settling
of
Religion
,
and
that
we
will
leave
our
own
Advices
if
any
man
shew
us
better
.
Which
mind
of
ours
we
most
heartily
pray
God
that
gave
it
us
,
not
onely
to
increase
in
us
,
but
also
to
send
it
unto
all
Christian
Princes
,
all
Christian
Prelats
,
and
all
Christian
People
.

Postscript
.
CHristian
Reader
,
Who
hast
perused
and
well
weighed
this
Protestation
,
thou
dost
see
therein
the
Frauds
,
Pride
,
Avarice
,
Treacheries
,
Cruelties
,
Enmity
to
God
and
Christ
,
and
his
Truth
and
People
,
with
many
other
notorious
Enormities
of
the
Pope
and
his
Shaveling
Priests
and
Clergy
,
clearly
and
openly
discovered
,
detected
,
detested
and
renounced
,
by
so
great
a
King
.
He
pronounces
them
to
be
open
Enemies
to
Christ
himself
,
and
to
carry
in
their
Breasts
an
immortal
Hatred
to
his
Truth
.
He
Proclaimeth
to
all
Christian
Princes
and
Peoble
the
miserable
Tragedies
,
which
under
pretence
of
Unity
and
Concord
,
they
have
brought
into
Christendom
,
and
that
they
have
troubled
all
Christian
Realms
with
Seditions
,
under
plausible
pretences
of
Peace
.
That
in
all
their
Councils
and
Actings
touching
Religion
,
the
only
Marks
they
have
shot
at
,
was
Lucre
,
Money
and
Gains
;
yea
that
they
sought
their
own
Profit
,
with
the
Slaughter
of
the
Truth
,
and
were
infinitely
more
willing
that
the
greatest
Injury
should
be
done
to
the
Gospel
,
than
that
their
Authority
,
that
is
to
say
,
their
Arrogant
Impudence
,
should
suffer
the
least
Diminution
.
That
their
usual
practice
is
,
to
defile
their
cruel
Hands
with
honest
Mens
Bloud
,
and
that
contrary
to
their
Oaths
.
He
further
declares
,
That
this
holy
Vicar
was
so
inflamed
with
Hatred
against
the
King
and
Kingdom
,
for
pulling
down
his
Usurped
Power
,
and
Proud
Primacy
,
for
expelling
his
Usurped
Jurisdiction
,
for
rejecting
his
False
and
Heretical
Doctrine
,
and
delivering
this
Realm
from
his
grievous
Bondage
and
Polage
;
that
He
sought
by
all
ways
to
endamage
both
King
and
People
;
and
by
Enemies
at
Home
and
Princes
Abroad
,
to
stir
up
Troubles
and
Commotions
.
Upon
which
sufficient
Grounds
,
and
for
which
just
Causes
,
he
thus
resolves
,
saying
,
Surely
except
God
take
away
our
right
Wits
,
not
only
his
Authority
,
to
wit
the
Popes
,
shall
be
driven
out
for
Ever
,
but
his
Name
also
shall
shortly
be
forgotten
in
England
.
And
again
,
We
will
ha'
the
Pope
and
his
Adherents
to
understand
that
which
we
have
oft
said
,
and
now
say
,
and
ever
will
say
,
He
nor
His
hath
no
Authority
or
Jurisdiction
in
England
.
That
which
he
hath
usurped
against
Gods
Law
,
and
extorted
by
Violence
,
We
by
good
right
take
from
him
again
.
And
He
exhorts
all
Christian
Princes
to
favour
and
follow
his
Godly
and
Just
Proceedings
.
Thus
did
God
of
his
Infinite
Goodness
raise
up
this
Great
and
Wise
King
to
root
out
the
Pope's
Usurped
Authority
,
and
False
Religion
also
,
in
a
great
measure
,
out
of
England
;
and
the
Lord
grant
that
these
Intolerable
and
Unsupportable
Evils
may
be
kept
out
of
it
for
ever
.
For
without
doubt
,
that
Curse
of
God
which
Joshua
pronounced
against
him
that
should
Rebuild
Jericho
,
which
was
destroyed
by
the
Word
and
Power
of
God
,
according
as
it
is
written
,
Joshua
6.26
.
And
Joshua
adjured
them
at
that
time
,
saying
,
Cursed
be
the
Man
before
the
Lord
that
riseth
up
and
Buildeth
this
City
Jericho
,
which
was
accordingly
fulfiled
in
Hiel
the
Bethelite
in
the
days
of
Ahab
.
I
am
very
well
assured
,
that
that
,
and
a
greater
Curse
will
be
the
Portion
of
that
Man
from
the
Lord
,
that
shall
rise
up
and
Rebuild
this
Spiritual
Babylon
again
in
England
,
to
wit
,
the
Antichristian
Church
,
which
the
Word
and
Power
of
God
hath
destroyed
,
and
now
for
several
happy
Years
kept
out
of
this
Nation
.
Et
nunc
Reges
intelligite
,
erudimini
qui
Judicatis
terram
.
Be
wise
now
therefore
O
Ye
Kings
,
be
instructed
Ye
that
judge
the
Earth
.
And
Oh
ye
People
,
be
not
as
the
Horse
and
Mule
that
have
no
Understanding
,
but
as
Men
at
least
,
and
(
if
it
may
be
)
as
Christians
:
consider
and
weigh
well
with
your selves
the
great
and
inexplicable
Evils
that
the
poor
Nation
now
groans
under
,
none
can
tell
for
how
long
;
some
of
which
are
these
that
follow
,
and
greater
cannot
be
told
.
1.
The
Suppressing
the
Glorious
Light
of
the
Gospel
,
and
Banishing
it
out
of
Publique
View
;
the
silencing
the
Grace
of
Christs
own
Lips
,
and
causing
the
Joyful
Sound
that
Proclaims
the
Acceptable
Year
of
the
Lord
,
to
cease
out
of
our
Borders
.
And
this
is
the
Evil
of
Evils
,
and
the
Misery
of
Miseries
which
brings
all
other
Evils
and
Miseries
along
with
it
;
yea
this
shuts
up
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
from
the
World
,
and
sets
Hell
wide
open
,
for
all
men
to
run
headlong
into
it
,
as
we
see
it
done
this
day
.
This
excludes
the
Love
,
Mercy
and
Goodness
of
God
from
the
World
,
as
much
as
possibly
it
can
,
and
brings
in
his
Wrath
and
heavy
Displeasure
to
wast
and
consume
it
;
of
which
we
have
had
the
sad
and
most
exquisite
Experience
,
now
alas
!
for
several
years
together
.
For
since
the
Gospel
,
under
several
Mulcts
and
Penalties
,
hath
been
forbidden
to
be
Preach'd
,
how
many
Manifestations
of
Gods
Just
Anger
have
we
seen
in
many
strange
and
unusual
Prodigies
,
in
the
Heavens
,
in
the
Earth
,
in
the
Waters
,
&c.
being
loud
Warnings
of
the
Wrath
to
come
.
What
a
grievous
and
desolating
Plague
,
the
Scourge
of
the
Almighty
,
hath
destroyed
Thousands
and
Ten
Thousands
in
that
late
great
C●●
and
in
many
other
parts
of
the
Nation
,
the
like
whereunto
hath
not
been
heretofore
?
What
a
dreadful
Conflagration
hath
devoured
that
Famous
and
Incomparable
City
,
the
Head
and
Glory
of
these
Nations
,
and
laid
it
in
Ashes
and
Ruines
like
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
?
which
Cities
were
set
on
Fire
from
Heaven
,
but
this
from
Hell
,
by
the
Locusts
of
the
Bottomless
Pit
,
the
Emissaries
of
the
Pope
and
his
Clergy
,
which
Vermin
have
swarmed
in
this
Nation
,
since
the
removal
of
the
Gospel
.
And
this
provoking
Sin
,
is
not
so
much
the
Sin
of
the
People
,
as
of
the
Powers
of
the
Nation
,
who
as
it
were
,
of
very
Malice
,
have
openly
renounced
Christ
,
and
desired
Barabbas
to
be
given
to
them
in
his
stead
;
they
have
rejected
the
Sweet
and
Meek
Gospel
of
Christ
,
and
have
desired
to
be
given
to
then
the
Cruel
and
Murderous
Religion
of
Antichrist
;
a
Religion
written
in
Red
Letters
,
even
in
Letters
of
Bloud
;
for
it
hath
shed
the
bloud
of
innumerable
Saints
and
Martyrs
in
the
several
Ages
,
since
Antichrist
first
lift
up
his
Head
out
of
Hell
into
this
World
;
seduceing
the
Powers
of
the
World
to
take
part
with
him
in
this
bloudy
Work
.
This
Religion
,
or
rather
this
Iniquity
in
the
Suburbs
of
it
,
we
see
Erected
already
,
and
now
the
great
City
thereof
,
is
ready
to
be
built
again
;
and
this
Kingdom
of
Darkness
could
never
have
been
founded
but
in
the
absence
of
the
Light
,
which
they
have
violently
chased
away
.
And
this
one
thing
carrys
weight
in
it
,
that
they
who
tolerate
Popery
to
take
its
ease
among
us
,
and
to
lengthen
its
Cords
,
and
to
strengthen
its
Stakes
,
though
it
be
directly
against
Christ
;
and
they
who
tolerate
the
open
exercise
of
the
Jewish
Religion
,
which
denies
and
blasphemes
Christ
,
will
by
no
means
suffer
nor
endure
the
true
and
sincere
Gospel
of
Christs
Kingdom
to
be
published
by
any
,
but
under
great
Penalties
.
Whereby
they
declare
,
that
they
are
of
one
Council
and
Work
with
Satan
,
who
hath
with
all
his
Subtilty
and
Cruelty
fought
against
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
from
the
first
day
of
their
Heavenly
Birth
hitherto
.
This
is
the
first
and
greatest
Evil
the
Nation
mourns
and
groans
under
,
but
this
is
not
all
.
For
Secondly
,
From
hence
follows
the
greatest
and
deepest
ignorance
of
God
and
Christ
that
can
be
,
and
of
all
their
unsearchable
Riches
which
the
Gospel
hath
discovered
to
the
World
.
The
greatest
ignorance
of
the
Law
and
of
the
Gospel
,
of
Sin
and
of
Righteousness
,
of
Salvation
and
Damnation
,
of
Heaven
and
Hell
;
in
a
word
,
the
grossest
ignorance
of
all
the
Revealed
Truths
of
God
,
which
concern
us
either
to
obtain
Eternal
Life
,
or
to
avoid
Endless
Death
.
So
that
in
India
and
Ethiopia
,
in
Calno
and
Carchemish
,
in
Pathros
and
Cush
,
in
Mesech
and
the
Tents
of
Kedar
,
there
is
not
greater
ignorance
of
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
and
of
the
way
of
Salvation
,
to
be
found
than
in
many
places
,
and
among
many
People
in
England
;
the
true
report
that
may
be
given
of
it
is
even
incredible
.
And
would
it
not
grievously
affect
any
Christian
Mans
heart
to
behold
so
many
thousands
of
Children
in
this
Nation
,
brought
up
without
any
right
instruction
in
the
Christian
Religion
?
Oh
consider
,
what
a
Profane
and
Heathenish
Nation
this
must
necessarily
become
in
a
few
years
!
for
,
what
the
Children
and
Youths
now
are
,
the
Common-Wealth
will
be
in
twenty
or
thirty
Years
.
And
what
a
bruitish
and
beast-like
Generation
will
then
People
be
in
this
Land
,
if
the
Lord
take
not
care
of
this
matter
in
the
mean
time
.
When
few
will
be
found
who
shall
know
any
more
of
Christs
Name
than
what
thay
capacitate
them
to
blaspheme
it
,
or
of
his
most
Precious
Death
and
Crucifying
,
more
than
to
serve
them
to
Swear
by
his
Bloud
and
Wounds
.
For
the
glorious
Sun
of
Divine
Knowledge
,
is
three
quarters
Eclipsed
already
:
the
Good
Lord
prevent
the
Total
Eclipse
thereof
,
by
sending
forth
again
Ministers
of
his
own
choosing
and
anointing
,
to
feed
his
People
with
true
Knowledge
and
Understanding
.
Thirdly
,
The
third
Misery
we
sigh
under
,
is
the
overflowing
of
Iniquity
like
the
mighty
Waves
of
the
Sea
.
Never
was
there
such
a
Deluge
of
Sin
seen
upon
Earth
,
as
now
covers
the
Face
of
the
Nation
;
this
is
even
become
the
covering
of
all
Flesh
.
All
sorts
of
People
,
of
High
and
Low
Degree
,
whether
Secular
or
Ecelesiastical
,
are
all
drencht
and
dyed
in
it
;
in
such
sort
,
that
Men
live
in
this
World
in
the
manifest
likeness
of
the
Devil
,
and
if
Satan
himself
were
Incarnate
,
you
could
not
easily
discern
one
from
the
other
.
They
set
their
Faces
against
Heaven
,
and
call
out
upon
God
to
Damn
them
,
Soul
and
Body
.
So
Divelish
they
are
,
that
they
would
fain
be
tormented
before
their
time
,
and
do
often
provoke
Hell
to
swallow
them
up
;
for
because
they
can
be
no
liker
to
the
Devil
in
this
World
,
they
would
hasten
to
Hell
that
there
they
may
be
fully
like
him
.
Oh
Monsters
of
Mankind
!
Oh
the
true
Seed
of
the
Serpent
!
the
right
Generation
of
Vipers
!
Ye
have
been
fore-warn'd
by
God
to
flee
from
the
Wrath
to
come
,
but
who
hath
warn'd
you
to
flee
unto
it
?
Who
among
the
remote
Nations
would
believe
the
report
of
all
your
Villanies
?
The
very
rehearsal
of
them
would
put
them
into
Pangs
,
and
the
bare
hearing
of
them
into
Tremblings
:
their
Sayings
and
Doings
are
such
,
as
are
not
fit
to
be
mentioned
or
recited
among
Men
,
but
onely
in
the
midst
of
Devils
.
For
who
without
horrible
fear
,
could
either
repeat
or
hear
their
desperate
Blasphemies
against
God
himself
,
glorious
in
Holiness
,
and
against
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
(
whom
God
hath
made
his
First-Bor●
,
High●r
than
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
;
and
when
he
brought
him
into
the
World
,
he
said
,
Let
all
the
Angels
Worship
Him
)
and
against
the
Holy
Spirit
(
against
whom
whoever
speaks
a
word
,
it
shall
nev●r
be
forgiven
him
)
against
the
blessed
Gospel
the
great
and
onely
Power
of
God
to
Salvation
)
against
the
Kingdom
of
God
on
Earth
,
and
against
them
that
dwell
in
Heaven
.
Therefore
,
O
Lord
,
forgive
them
not
.
For
their
Vine
is
as
the
Vine
of
Sodom
,
and
of
the
Fi●lds
of
Gomorrah
,
their
Grapes
are
Grapes
of
Gall
,
their
Clusters
are
bitter
,
their
Wine
is
the
Poyson
of
Dragons
,
and
the
cruel
Venome
of
Asps
.
The
shew
of
their
Countenance
doth
witness
against
them
,
and
they
declare
their
Sin
more
than
Sodom
,
they
hide
it
not
,
they
boast
of
it
,
and
every
Man
is
famous
as
he
can
do
most
wickedly
.
Wo
unto
their
Souls
,
for
they
have
rewarded
evil
against
themselves
.
For
therefore
H●ll
hath
enlarged
her self
,
and
opened
her
Mouth
without
measure
,
and
their
Glory
,
and
their
Multitude
,
and
their
Pomp
,
and
he
that
rejoiceth
shall
soon
descend
into
it
.
This
their
Day
approacheth
,
it
comes
,
it
makes
hast
,
when
they
shall
perish
for
ever
like
their
own
Dung
,
and
they
that
have
s●en
them
shall
say
,
where
are
they
?
And
therefore
howl
ye
Profane
Ones
,
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
,
it
shall
come
as
a
Destruction
from
the
Almighty
:
then
shall
your
Wicked
Hands
fall
down
,
and
your
Proud
Hearts
melt
,
and
you
shall
be
sorely
afraid
;
Pangs
and
Sorrow
shall
take
hold
on
you
,
even
Pangs
as
of
a
Woman
in
Travel
:
and
when
ye
shall
look
to
one
another
ye
shall
he
amazed
at
one
another
,
and
your
faces
shall
alter
and
change
colour
as
Flames
.
For
b●hold
the
Day
of
the
Lord
cometh
cruel
,
both
with
Wrath
and
fierce
Anger
,
to
lay
the
Land
desolate
for
your
sakes
,
and
he
shall
destroy
the
Sinn●rs
thereof
out
of
it
.
And
he
will
punish
the
World
for
th●ir
evil
,
and
the
Wicked
for
their
wick●dness
,
he
will
make
the
Arrogancy
of
the
Proud
Ones
to
c●ase
,
and
will
lay
low
the
Haughtiness
of
the
Terrible
Ones
.
In
that
day
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
shall
rise
up
in
Judgment
against
you
,
and
it
shall
be
more
tolerable
for
them
than
for
you
,
O
Ye
Profane
Ones
of
England
!
These
Spiritual
Evils
press
us
sore
;
As
for
our
Outward
Evils
,
they
are
well
known
and
felt
by
All
,
of
all
sorts
;
and
though
I
should
be
silent
in
the
rehearsing
them
,
they
speak
forth
themselves
.
They
are
a
sore
not
to
be
touched
;
yet
if
no
hand
should
touch
them
,
how
should
they
he
healed
?
Wherefore
I
will
in
the
Name
and
Fear
of
God
make
mention
of
one
of
them
,
and
of
such
an
one
as
briefly
compreheds
all
the
rest
.
And
this
is
,
The
strange
and
dismal
Withering
,
Wasting
,
Languishing
and
Dying
Condition
of
Poor
England
,
whose
common
Welfare
no
Man
now
looks
after
or
regards
.
Oh
England
!
where
are
now
thy
Wise
Men
?
where
are
thy
Pilots
?
where
are
thy
Physicians
?
where
are
thy
Counselors
?
where
are
thy
Helpers
?
where
are
they
that
pity
thee
,
and
say
,
Alas
,
Alas
Poor
England
!
thy
Husband
hath
rejected
thee
,
as
a
Wife
of
Whoredoms
,
and
thou
art
become
a
Widow
of
Sorrows
:
thou
art
left
as
a
Cottage
in
a
Vineyard
;
as
a
Lodge
in
a
Garden
of
Cucumbers
,
as
a
Besieged
City
.
Thy
bruise
is
incureable
,
and
thy
wound
is
grievous
.
There
is
none
left
to
plead
thy
Cause
,
that
thou
mightest
be
bound
up
:
thou
hast
no
healing
Medicin●s
left
thee
;
Fear
and
a
Snare
and
the
Pit
are
upon
thee
,
and
to
whom
wilt
thou
stretch
forth
thy
hands
,
to
whom
wilt
thou
lift
up
thy
Voice
for
help
?
Thou
wast
lately
Rich
and
Flourishing
Kingdom
,
and
for
thy
Plenty
,
Wealth
and
Glory
wast
both
the
Wonder
and
Envy
of
the
World
.
Whilst
thou
didst
enjoy
the
Presence
of
God
,
through
his
Word
and
Ordinances
;
whilst
Iniquity
was
banish'd
out
of
Publique
View
;
whilst
Holiness
and
Righteousness
,
Justice
and
Judgment
,
Truth
and
Equity
had
their
chief
place
in
thee
,
Thou
wast
a
People
saved
by
the
Lord
,
Honoured
by
the
Lord
,
Exalted
,
Magnified
,
Protected
by
the
Lord.
Thou
wast
the
H●ad
and
not
the
Tail
,
even
the
Glory
of
Kingdoms
and
Nations
.
Our
Land
then
,
was
blessed
with
the
precious
things
of
Heaven
,
with
the
dew
and
the
deep
that
coutcheth
beneath
,
with
the
precious
fruits
brought
forth
by
the
Sun
,
and
with
the
precious
things
put
forth
by
the
Moon
,
with
the
precious
things
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
Fulness
thereof
.
We
had
plenty
of
Gold
,
and
of
Jewels
of
fine
Gold
;
and
our
Houses
were
stored
with
Silver
;
our
Barns
and
Store-houses
were
replenished
,
and
we
were
plenteous
in
Goods
;
in
the
fruit
of
our
Cattel
,
and
in
the
fruit
of
our
Ground
.
Our
Sons
were
as
Plants
grown
up
in
their
Youth
,
our
Daughters
as
polisht
Pillars
;
our
Oxen
were
strong
to
labour
,
and
our
Sheep
brought
forth
Thousands
:
we
did
eat
our
Bread
with
joy
,
and
drank
our
Wine
with
a
merry
heart
,
because
God
accepted
our
Works
.
Yea
then
the
First-Born
of
the
Poor
did
feed
,
and
the
Needy
did
ly
down
in
Safety
;
for
there
was
no
breaking
in
nor
going
out
,
nor
complaining
in
our
Streets
.
We
were
a
happy
People
that
were
in
such
a
case
,
yea
much
more
happy
,
because
God
was
our
Lord
.
And
thou
O
London
,
(
for
my
heart
is
towards
thee
,
and
I
am
distressed
for
thee
O
London
,
and
pained
at
the
very
heart
)
Thou
wast
a
Joyous
City
,
whose
Antiquity
was
of
Ancient
Days
;
thou
wast
the
Crowning
City
,
whose
Merchants
were
Princes
,
whose
Traffiquers
were
the
Honourable
of
the
Earth
:
by
thy
great
Wisdom
,
and
by
thy
Traffique
thou
didst
get
thee
Riches
,
and
thou
didst
get
Gold
and
Silver
into
thy
Treasuries
.
The
Harvest
of
the
River
was
thy
Revenue
,
and
thou
wast
the
Mart
of
Nations
.
All
Nations
emptied
their
Delicacies
into
thy
Bosom
,
and
poured
forth
their
pleasant
things
into
thy
Lap.
And
when
thy
Wares
went
forth
out
of
thy
Seas
,
thou
filledst
many
People
,
thou
didst
enrich
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
with
the
multitude
of
thy
Riches
,
and
of
thy
Merchandise
.
Thou
wast
also
the
Mountain
of
God
,
thou
hadst
,
in
the
midst
of
thee
,
the
stones
of
Fire
.
Thou
wast
the
chief
High-Place
;
the
Ministers
of
Jesus
were
dear
to
thee
,
and
thy
Arms
were
always
open
to
embrace
them
;
thou
didst
frequent
the
Solemn
Assemblies
of
the
Saints
,
with
the
Multitude
of
them
that
kept
right
Holy-Day
.
The
Out-casts
of
Christ
were
wont
to
dwell
with
thee
,
and
thou
wast
a
Covert
to
them
from
the
face
of
the
Spoiler
.
Many
Fatherless
Children
had
harbour
and
succour
in
thee
,
and
thou
wast
a
Husband
to
the
Widows
.
It
was
thy
Meat
and
Drink
to
feed
the
hungry
,
and
to
cloath
the
naked
,
and
to
visit
the
Prisoners
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Thou
wast
as
the
Vine-tree
amongst
the
Trees
of
the
Forest
,
Verily
a
Noble
Vine
;
But
why
hast
thou
so
suddenly
turned
into
the
Degenerate
Plant
of
a
Strange
Vine
?
Why
of
a
right
Seed
did
you
so
easily
become
strange
Children
,
whose
Mouth
talketh
Vanity
,
and
your
Right
Hand
is
a
Right
Hand
of
Falshood
?
Why
didst
thou
join
thy self
with
the
Wicked
,
and
help
the
Ungodly
?
Why
didst
thou
love
them
that
hate
the
Lord
,
and
didst
turn
thy
heart
and
hand
against
them
that
love
the
Lord
?
Thou
didst
reject
his
Ministers
:
thou
didst
persecute
his
People
;
thou
didst
hunt
the
steps
of
the
Righteous
that
they
could
not
go
in
thy
Streets
;
thou
didst
hawll
to
Prison
the
Assemblies
of
the
Saints
;
and
didst
make
havock
of
the
Church
of
Christ
till
there
was
no
remedy
.
For
when
the
Lord
saw
this
he
was
angry
,
for
he
looked
for
Grapes
from
you
,
and
you
brought
forth
wild
Grapes
;
he
looked
for
Judgment
from
you
,
but
behold
Oppression
!
for
Righteousness
,
but
behold
a
Cry
!
Wh●refore
he
bent
his
Bow
against
thee
like
an
Enemy
,
He
stood
with
his
Right
Hand
like
an
Adversary
.
He
sent
a
Fire
into
the
midst
of
thee
that
could
not
be
quenched
,
and
it
hath
devoured
thee
,
and
brought
thee
to
Ashes
on
the
Earth
,
in
the
sight
of
all
them
that
beheld
thee
.
He
hath
swallowed
up
thy
Habitations
,
he
hath
thrown
down
in
his
Wrath
your
pleasant
Dwellings
,
your
stately
and
beautiful
Buildings
.
He
sent
into
thee
treacherous
Dealers
to
deal
treacherously
with
thee
,
and
Spoilers
to
spoil
thee
;
whilst
thou
wast
become
a
silly
Dove
without
heart
.
He
hath
brought
upon
thee
the
days
that
have
not
come
on
thee
since
thou
wast
a
City
;
He
hath
stained
the
Pride
of
thy
Glory
,
and
brought
into
contempt
all
thy
Honourable
Persons
:
they
that
did
feed
delicately
were
left
desolate
in
the
Streets
;
they
that
were
brought
up
in
Silks
and
Scarlet
embraced
Dunghils
:
they
that
dwelt
in
well
built
Houses
were
glad
to
shelter
themselves
in
Booths
,
and
to
crowd
their
heads
in
desolate
places
;
they
are
come
down
from
their
Glory
to
sit
in
Dust
.
For
thy
filthiness
was
found
in
thy
Skirts
,
therefore
thou
wast
brought
down
wonderfully
.
How
are
thy
Merchandise
of
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
Precious
Stones
,
and
of
Pearl
,
and
of
fine
Linnen
,
and
Purple
and
Silk
,
thy
broidered
Works
,
thy
Chests
of
rich
Apparel
,
thy
Spices
and
Odors
,
thy
Vessels
of
precious
Wood
,
of
Brass
and
Iron
,
and
Marble
;
thy
Wine
and
Oil
,
thy
stately
Buildings
and
beautiful
Structures
of
many
Generations
,
how
in
three
or
four
days
are
they
all
brought
to
nothing
?
London
,
the
Glory
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
Beauty
of
England's
Excellency
,
is
become
as
when
God
overthrew
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
:
and
is
now
at
present
,
a
place
for
doleful
Creatures
,
for
Owls
to
dwell
in
,
and
for
Satyrs
to
dance
in
,
and
for
Wild
Beasts
to
cry
among
the
desolate
Houses
,
and
Dragons
in
their
Dwellings
.
For
thou
art
swept
with
the
Besom
of
Destruction
,
and
the
Line
of
Emptiness
is
stretched
out
upon
thee
;
because
thou
didst
reject
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
knewest
not
the
day
of
thy
Visitation
.
How
art
thou
brought
down
,
which
wast
inhabited
by
Seafaring
Men
?
the
renowned
City
which
wast
strong
at
Sea
?
and
thy
Inhabitants
did
cause
terrour
to
all
Nations
.
All
that
knew
thee
formerly
are
astonisht
at
thee
;
thou
art
become
a
Terror
to
them
that
see
thee
,
and
they
that
hear
of
thee
are
pained
for
thee
.
I
was
bowed
down
at
the
hearing
of
it
,
I
was
dismayed
at
the
seeing
of
it
.
O
Lord
b●hold
my
affliction
,
for
the
Enemy
hath
magnified
himself
:
see
and
consider
,
for
I
am
become
Vile
.
Our
Enemies
say
,
This
,
this
is
the
Day
we
have
looked
for
;
we
have
found
it
,
we
have
seen
it
.
This
Day
shall
do
that
which
the
Fifth
of
November
could
not
do
;
now
shall
we
see
our
desire
upon
them
;
for
the
Strength
of
the
Protestant
Interest
is
broken
;
we
have
broken
the
Head
of
it
,
and
now
shall
we
rase
it
,
to
the
very
foundation
of
it
.
But
O
Lord
thou
hast
seen
my
wrong
,
judge
thou
my
Cause
.
Thou
hast
seen
all
their
Vengeance
,
and
all
their
imaginations
against
me
;
thou
knowest
the
Contrivers
,
the
Abettors
,
the
Incouragers
,
the
Actors
,
the
Favourers
of
this
Hellish
Mischief
;
and
all
those
that
rejoice
in
it
:
Give
unto
them
All
Sorrow
of
Heart
,
thy
Curse
unto
them
.
Persecute
and
destroy
them
in
Anger
,
from
under
the
Heavens
of
the
Lord
.
And
let
all
the
People
say
Amen
.
But
now
I
must
shake
hands
with
thee
O
London
in
thy
Dust
and
Ashes
,
for
there
is
hope
in
this
thy
End
.
And
I
must
turn
my self
back
again
to
England
,
the
Land
of
my
Nativity
,
and
take
up
a
Lamentation
for
it
.
O
England
,
what
Nation
was
like
unto
thee
from
the
Rising
of
the
Sun
to
the
Setting
thereof
?
thou
wast
a
People
satisfied
with
favour
,
and
full
with
the
Blessings
of
the
Lord
,
but
art
now
suddenly
become
a
poor
and
peeled
People
,
meeted
out
and
trodden
down
.
Thou
art
smitten
with
a
perpetual
stroke
in
anger
,
by
a
heavy
hand
:
thou
art
oppressed
,
spoyled
and
crushed
in
pieces
evermore
,
and
there
is
no
man
to
save
thee
.
For
God
hath
remembred
our
Iniquities
against
us
,
and
set
our
sins
in
the
light
of
his
Countenance
.
For
by
Lying
,
and
Swearing
,
and
Oppressing
,
and
Slaying
,
and
Drink●ng
,
and
Whoring
and
Blaspheming
,
&c.
the
Land
is
defiled
,
under
the
Inhabitants
thereof
.
We
have
forsaken
the
Laws
of
God
,
changed
the
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
and
broken
the
Everlasting
Covenant
,
and
therefore
hath
the
Curse
devoured
us
.
Our
Labours
yield
us
no
Profit
:
our
Plowing
,
Sowing
and
Reaping
eats
up
the
Husband-Man
:
our
Trade
is
every
where
decayed
:
our
Gold
and
Silver
are
exhausted
and
drained
away
:
our
Estates
are
impoverisht
and
wasted
:
the
Abundance
we
had
gotten
and
laid
up
,
is
departed
:
our
Exactions
and
Taxes
are
heavy
upon
us
,
so
that
we
eat
our
Bread
with
sorrow
,
and
drink
with
sighing
;
for
they
have
found
out
our
Riches
as
a
Nest
,
and
as
one
gathereth
Eggs
that
are
left
,
so
have
they
gathered
the
Substance
of
the
Nation
,
and
there
was
none
that
durst
move
the
Wing
,
or
open
the
Mouth
to
the
People
.
We
are
brought
so
low
that
we
have
forgotten
Prosperity
;
but
we
daily
mourn
and
fade
away
;
for
we
are
filled
with
bitterness
,
and
made
drunk
with
Wormwood
.
For
our
Wise
Counsellors
are
become
Fools
,
Understanding
is
perished
from
them
:
our
Princes
are
rebellious
,
and
Companions
of
Thieves
;
they
are
Riotous
Persons
that
eat
not
for
Strength
but
for
Drunkenness
.
Our
Counsellors
take
Counsel
,
but
not
of
God
,
but
against
him
:
our
Judges
abhor
true
Judgment
,
and
pervert
all
Equity
;
they
turn
Judgment
into
Gall
,
and
the
fruit
of
Righteousness
into
Hemlock
:
they
justifie
the
Wicked
for
a
Reward
,
and
take
away
the
righteousness
of
the
Righteous
from
him
.
Our
Priests
,
of
all
Titles
and
Degrees
,
are
like
roaring
Lions
in
the
midst
of
us
,
ravening
the
Prey
;
they
rob
the
Purses
of
Men
;
they
imprison
their
Bodies
;
they
devour
their
Souls
:
they
live
in
Rioting
and
Drunkenness
,
they
commit
Adultery
,
and
speak
Lyes
:
they
strengthen
the
hands
of
Evil
Doers
,
that
none
doth
return
from
his
Wickedness
.
Our
People
are
foolish
and
unwise
,
a
company
of
treacherous
Men
,
that
ly
in
wait
for
precious
Souls
;
they
are
perverse
Children
,
who
have
forsaken
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
and
have
said
to
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
,
Depart
from
us
.
Wherefore
we
are
become
a
base
Kingdom
,
because
we
have
rejected
all
righteousness
;
yea
,
the
basest
of
Kingdoms
,
because
we
have
Apostatized
from
the
Truth
.
Of
a
Pleasant
and
Joyful
Land
,
we
are
become
a
Land
of
Trouble
and
Anguish
;
where
is
the
Young
and
Old
Lion
,
the
Viper
and
fiery
flying
Serpent
.
We
are
become
a
Mingled
People
,
Strangers
devour
us
in
our
presence
;
they
devour
our
Strength
,
they
swallow
up
our
Riches
,
they
eat
up
our
Bread
;
yea
they
destroy
us
,
our
Cities
and
Towns
,
and
there
is
none
to
reprove
them
.
We
who
were
the
chief
of
Nations
,
the
Princess
of
Provinces
,
who
when
we
spake
there
was
trembling
to
the
ends
of
the
Earth
,
are
now
become
weak
and
contemptible
;
because
our
Rock
hath
sold
us
,
and
the
Lord
hath
shut
us
up
,
Therefore
the
Pomp
of
our
Strength
hath
ceased
,
and
our
Spirit
fails
in
the
midst
of
us
.
So
that
we
are
shamefully
brought
down
,
by
the
least
and
lowest
of
the
Nations
:
who
have
subdued
our
Naval
Power
;
taken
,
burnt
and
spoiled
our
Royal
Ships
,
the
Wall
and
Bulwark
of
our
Nation
:
fought
us
in
our
own
Bowels
;
triumphed
over
us
in
our
own
River
;
blocked
up
the
Passage
of
our
chief
City
;
stopped
all
intercourse
of
Trade
;
made
a
Spoil
of
our
Riches
,
and
a
Prey
of
our
Merchandise
;
hindred
and
deprived
us
of
all
our
pleasant
things
;
bereaved
us
of
several
of
our
Rich
and
Advantageous
Plantations
;
brought
us
down
to
their
feet
,
humbly
to
beg
their
favour
,
and
have
made
us
a
Reproach
,
a
Proverb
and
a
Hissing
to
all
Nations
.
O
England
who
shall
bewail
thee
?
What
Lamentations
shall
we
take
up
for
thee
?
Oh
that
thou
wert
sensible
of
thy
Stroke
and
couldst
bewail
thy self
,
for
thou
hast
sinned
grievously
,
therefore
art
thou
cast
out
of
the
Mountain
of
the
Lord
,
thou
art
cast
to
the
ground
,
and
laid
before
Kings
and
Nations
,
that
they
may
behold
thee
.
This
is
the
end
of
the
Children
of
Pride
;
for
they
that
exalt
themselves
shall
be
made
Low.
And
therefore
talk
no
more
so
exceeding
proudly
,
let
not
Arrogance
come
out
of
your
Mouth
again
,
for
God
is
a
God
of
Judgment
,
and
by
him
actions
are
weighed
.
The
Adversaries
of
the
Lord
shall
be
broken
in
pieces
:
out
of
Heaven
shall
he
thunder
upon
them
,
and
therefore
let
not
the
Rebellious
exalt
themselves
,
Thus
have
I
rehearsed
the
Evils
we
ly
under
;
and
now
I
shall
represent
some
of
the
Great
and
Deadly
Dangers
that
we
are
in
.
And
one
is
,
to
have
the
Nation
quite
overrun
with
Popery
,
and
to
have
the
Popes
Throne
of
Iniquity
new
erected
amongst
us
.
And
are
there
not
swarms
of
Priests
and
Jesuits
earnestly
at
work
to
bring
this
to
pass
?
they
having
emptied
their
Popish
Cloysters
and
Monasteri●s
from
beyond
Sea
into
England
,
to
promote
their
Catholique
Design
here
.
And
they
knowing
who
stands
at
their
right
hand
,
have
done
it
with
great
boldness
,
and
with
too
great
success
,
For
they
have
perverted
not
only
very
many
of
the
Common
People
,
but
some
Nobility
also
,
and
many
Gentry
.
And
they
have
two
great
Engines
to
advance
their
design
,
to
wit
,
on
the
one
hand
Safety
,
on
the
other
Danger
;
on
the
one
hand
Promotion
,
on
the
other
Destruction
;
on
the
one
hand
Life
,
on
the
other
Death
;
with
the
one
of
them
they
allure
,
with
the
other
they
terrifie
;
with
the
one
they
draw
whom
they
can
with
the
other
they
drive
whom
they
cannot
draw
.
And
these
Engines
are
of
that
force
,
that
thereby
they
have
conquered
many
weak
,
sinful
and
unstable
Souls
,
yea
and
have
prevailed
with
some
Persons
of
Honour
and
Quality
,
to
send
their
Sons
to
Monasteries
,
and
their
Daughters
to
Nunneries
beyond
Sea
,
to
be
trained
up
in
their
Damnable
Religion
there
,
till
better
provision
can
be
made
for
them
here
;
of
which
they
now
are
in
full
hopes
.
And
now
think
with
your selves
,
and
consider
well
,
O
my
Dear
Protestant
Country-Men
,
how
could
you
endure
to
see
the
Pope
Worshipped
here
again
in
England
,
for
a
God
on
Earth
?
to
see
him
set
his
proud
Foot
on
the
Neck
of
your
King
?
to
see
your
King
a
Tributary
to
the
Pope
,
and
to
stand
or
fall
at
his
base
pleasure
?
how
could
you
indure
to
be
forced
to
acknowledge
his
sinful
and
foolish
Decrees
to
be
equal
to
the
Holy
Word
of
God
?
and
to
own
his
little
Wafer
,
or
piece
of
Bread
,
for
the
very
Natural
Body
and
Bloud
of
Christ
which
was
crucified
and
shed
on
the
Cross
?
how
could
you
indure
to
have
your
throats
stretched
so
wide
,
as
to
swallow
down
only
this
one
Abomination
of
his
,
which
is
more
vast
and
rude
than
the
first
Chaos
?
how
could
you
indure
to
see
new
Roods
erected
in
every
Parish
Church
?
and
to
bow
your selves
down
and
worship
Stocks
and
Stones
,
Crucifixes
and
Images
,
instead
of
the
True
and
Living
God
?
how
could
you
frame
your selves
to
Auricular
Confession
,
and
to
rehearse
or
enumerate
all
your
sins
in
a
Priests
Ear
,
who
himself
stands
in
need
of
Forgiveness
more
than
you
,
being
a
greater
Sinner
?
how
could
you
indure
that
their
lusty
Priests
should
defile
your
Wives
and
Daughters
,
they
being
prohibited
Wives
of
their
own
;
and
so
should
drive
again
a
General
Trade
of
Whoredom
in
the
Nation
,
as
they
have
been
wont
to
do
formerly
?
how
could
you
submit
your selves
to
their
Popish
Pennance
,
and
to
travel
their
Popish
Pilgrimages
,
to
their
feigned
Saints
and
ridiculous
Reliques
?
how
could
you
bear
the
severity
of
their
Ecclesiastical
Courts
and
Censures
,
and
to
be
pronounced
Heretiques
by
those
who
are
themselves
the
greatest
Heretiques
in
the
World
?
how
could
You
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
,
who
have
your
Estates
,
or
part
of
them
,
in
Abbey
and
Church-Lands
,
as
they
were
called
,
be
content
to
have
them
taken
away
from
You
and
your
Posterity
,
and
given
back
again
to
maintain
Abbots
,
Monks
,
Friers
,
Nuns
and
such
kind
of
Popish
Vermin
and
Locusts
,
which
,
if
once
admitted
,
will
eat
up
again
every
green
thing
in
the
Land
?
And
let
me
tell
you
,
that
all
these
Estates
of
yours
,
they
do
not
only
promise
to
themselves
,
but
verily
expect
them
.
Yea
farther
,
how
could
you
indure
to
have
your
loving
Husbands
taken
from
your
Heads
,
and
your
dear
Wives
torn
out
of
your
Bosoms
,
your
sweet
Children
dragg'd
out
of
your
Houses
,
your
near
Relations
and
friendly
Neighbours
hawlled
and
hurried
into
Prisons
and
Dungeons
,
and
there
to
be
wracked
,
starved
,
tormented
,
and
at
last
(
if
they
live
to
it
)
to
be
put
alive
into
the
flames
of
Fire
,
there
to
be
burnt
and
consumed
to
Ashes
?
and
that
only
because
they
sincerely
cleave
to
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
and
will
not
adhere
to
Antichrist
,
nor
receive
his
Mark
,
nor
do
his
Hellish
Drudgery
?
how
could
you
indure
to
see
this
cruel
Beast
of
Rome
to
play
Rex
here
in
England
again
;
and
though
he
be
the
First-Born
of
the
Devil
,
yet
to
set
himself
up
above
all
that
is
called
God
,
and
Worshipped
?
And
yet
you
are
now
in
more
danger
to
see
all
these
things
come
to
pass
(
because
you
received
not
the
truth
in
the
love
of
it
,
whilst
you
enjoyed
it
)
than
your
Predecessors
have
been
this
Hundred
Years
,
they
having
now
gotten
both
Wind
and
Tide
with
them
,
even
Opportunity
and
Incouragement
.
Wherefore
a
Great
Man
concluded
,
That
now
certainly
the
Papists
would
do
their
Work
,
they
were
in
so
fair
a
way
.
But
he
reckoned
without
his
Hoast
.
And
lest
my
Protestant
Country-Men
should
be
too
much
discouraged
in
this
apparent
and
approaching
Danger
,
I
will
furnish
you
with
one
Rich
Cordial
,
out
of
the
Words
of
Henry
the
VIII
.
which
he
directed
to
the
Papists
in
his
days
,
in
his
foregoing
Declaration
against
them
:
where
he
saith
,
Are
you
not
wicked
which
so
hate
the
Truth
,
that
except
she
be
utterly
banished
,
ye
will
never
cease
to
vex
her
?
The
Living
God
is
alive
,
neither
can
Truth
his
Darling
,
He
being
alive
,
be
called
to
so
great
shame
,
contumely
and
injury
as
you
would
have
her
;
and
if
she
may
be
called
to
all
these
,
yet
can
she
come
to
none
of
them
.
Who
is
he
that
grievously
lamenteth
not
!
Men
to
be
come
to
such
Shameless
Boldness
,
to
shew
apertly
that
they
be
Enemies
to
Christ
himself
?
on
the
other
side
,
who
would
not
be
glad
to
see
such
Men
,
as
foolish
as
they
be
Wicked
?
For
they
work
a
deceitful
Work
,
and
by
all
their
cunning
Craftiness
,
Mysterious
,
and
Industrious
Actings
,
they
only
dig
the
Pit
,
into
which
they
must
fall
themselves
,
and
contrive
the
ruine
that
must
be
their
own
Portion
.
Your
Second
Danger
,
is
to
have
the
most
Cruel
and
Inhumane
Massacre
executed
upon
you
,
that
ever
yet
was
committed
in
the
World
,
by
the
Consecrated
Hands
and
Weapons
of
the
Papists
.
And
this
Glorious
Service
of
theirs
is
designed
upon
the
English
Protestants
,
for
the
singular
Promotion
of
the
Catholique
Cause
,
which
hath
its
way
usually
prepared
into
all
Nations
,
by
Fire
and
Sword
.
The
Wrath
of
the
Papists
is
so
kindled
against
you
,
and
they
are
so
thoroughly
set
on
fire
from
Hell
,
that
they
are
ready
to
break
forth
into
their
greatest
flames
,
and
to
endeavour
the
Destruction
of
All
at
Once
.
It
is
well
known
,
how
well
they
are
Hors'd
and
Arm'd
,
and
how
they
train
their
Troops
against
the
Bloudy
Day
intended
.
It
is
well
known
,
how
well
they
are
furnish'd
with
Money
,
intended
for
other
purposes
.
It
is
well
known
what
numbers
of
French
Men
are
brought
into
the
bowels
of
the
English
;
and
many
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
are
so
pleased
with
the
Children
of
those
Strangers
,
that
they
have
French
Servants
,
Papists
,
to
attend
them
,
whom
they
have
well
Mounted
and
Armed
,
enough
to
make
a
little
Army
of
themselves
.
And
this
they
do
that
their
strength
may
be
hidden
till
opportunity
shall
serve
to
make
it
appear
.
It
is
well
known
that
the
chief
Places
of
Strength
,
and
many
Chief
Commands
are
in
the
hands
of
Papists
.
And
now
they
become
so
numerous
,
and
having
such
power
,
what
is
there
wanting
but
a
convenient
Opportunity
to
fulfil
all
that
is
in
their
Hearts
,
upon
Secure
,
Unarmed
,
Unprepared
People
,
and
to
dispatch
their
work
in
few
days
,
and
especially
upon
thee
O
London
,
who
art
their
chiefest
Eye-Sore
.
O
England
,
(
except
the
Lord
prevent
it
)
thy
Calamity
is
near
,
at
the
very
Door
:
and
thou
mayst
expect
every
day
,
now
Peace
is
made
Abroad
,
when
these
will
unsheath
and
draw
their
Swords
upon
you
here
at
Home
:
and
you
must
be
charg'd
in
the
Kings
Name
(
for
so
they
will
abuse
it
)
to
stand
still
,
and
to
hold
forth
your
Throats
to
Murderers
.
You
cannot
forget
the
dreadful
Massacre
at
Paris
,
nor
that
late
more
dreadful
and
bloudy
Massacre
of
the
English
Protestants
in
Ireland
,
when
more
than
a
Hundred
Thousand
Innocent
Persons
,
Men
,
Women
and
Children
were
in
a
very
short
time
,
with
the
greatest
Cruelties
and
Torments
that
ever
were
heard
of
,
murdered
by
them
;
and
what
Authority
they
pretended
for
it
.
But
they
have
treasured
up
in
their
minds
the
fulness
of
all
Cruelties
,
for
you
English-men
.
They
have
discovered
something
of
their
Kindness
and
good
Pleasure
to
you
in
their
firing
the
City
of
London
,
which
they
have
left
as
an
Everlasting
Monument
of
their
Treachery
and
Villany
to
England
,
and
of
their
hatred
to
English
Protestants
;
and
let
this
most
notorious
fact
of
theirs
be
engraven
in
great
Characters
on
the
Gates
and
Walls
,
and
Chief
Places
of
your
City
,
when
it
shall
be
built
again
;
that
all
Posterity
when
they
shall
see
New
London
,
may
know
and
consider
what
Persons
,
and
what
Religion
burnt
the
Old
.
They
have
also
often
attempted
the
firing
of
Southwark
,
and
of
the
remaining
parts
of
the
City
;
for
nothing
but
the
utter
ruine
of
it
will
satisfie
them
.
And
when
the
kindling
of
some
of
these
later
flames
,
was
related
to
a
Great
Person
,
they
laughing
said
,
Now
the
Game
is
begun
again
:
for
they
make
but
a
May
game
of
consuming
all
.
And
yet
Fire
only
will
not
satisfie
them
,
it
is
bloud
must
follow
,
or
they
are
never
the
near
.
It
is
you
O
English
Protestants
,
whose
lives
they
thirst
after
,
and
they
can
neither
eat
nor
drink
comfortably
,
nor
sleep
quietly
,
till
they
be
filled
with
this
Venison
.
And
therefore
of
you
it
may
be
truly
said
,
Your
lives
are
in
jeopardy
every
hour
.
Yet
for
all
this
let
us
not
despond
nor
cast
away
our
Confidence
,
saying
,
Our
hope
is
cut
off
,
and
we
are
perished
;
for
he
that
sits
in
Heaven
laughs
them
to
scorn
,
even
the
Lord
hath
them
in
Derision
:
and
though
we
hold
our
peace
,
he
will
speak
to
them
in
his
Wrath
,
and
vex
them
in
his
sore
displeasure
.
He
will
make
his
Arrows
drunk
with
their
bloud
,
and
his
Sword
shall
devour
their
flesh
,
from
the
beginning
of
Revenges
upon
the
Enemy
.
Rejoice
O
ye
Nations
,
with
his
Paople
,
for
he
will
av●nge
the
Bloud
of
his
Servants
,
and
will
render
V●ng
ance
to
his
Adversaries
,
and
will
be
m●rciful
to
his
Land
,
and
to
his
People
.
Thirdly
,
Another
of
your
Dangers
,
which
also
is
one
of
the
greatest
,
is
your
own
Heedlesness
and
strange
Security
,
in
the
midst
of
such
thick
Clouds
and
Storms
which
have
encompassed
us
round
,
able
to
awaken
even
dead
Men.
How
stupid
and
sottish
were
you
at
the
burning
of
your
City
,
when
you
saw
with
your
own
eies
,
your
House●
,
your
Substance
,
your
Riches
,
all
consuming
together
in
those
furious
flames
before
your
faces
;
yet
how
insensible
were
you
of
your
deplorable
condition
?
how
regardless
of
that
heavy
hand
of
God
?
how
insensible
of
the
Treachery
and
Cruelty
of
Men
?
who
did
not
only
begin
those
●●●mes
,
but
also
continue
them
in
the
Progress
they
had
appointed
for
t●em
.
Had
you
the
Brains
or
Hearts
of
Men
,
to
suffer
those
Incendiaries
who
were
taken
in
the
very
Act
,
to
be
rescued
from
Justice
,
and
released
to
carry
on
their
Villany
again
?
surely
you
were
so
Sottish
,
that
had
not
the
Lord
been
the
more
merciful
to
you
,
your
Lives
and
Houses
had
perished
together
,
as
it
was
designed
.
Moreover
,
how
insensible
have
you
been
of
the
Popish
Plot
,
and
intended
Massacre
;
as
if
those
good
Men
had
been
but
in
Jest
,
when
a
Regiment
of
Papists
was
brought
up
to
secure
the
Prot●stants
,
and
a
company
of
Wolves
to
guard
the
Flock
;
and
when
some
of
their
own
Pens
and
Lips
reveal
their
minds
,
why
should
you
yet
be
so
ignorant
of
it
,
who
are
wholly
concerned
in
it
?
Wherefore
as
your
Lives
hitherto
have
been
dear
to
God
,
so
let
them
now
also
be
dear
to
your selves
,
and
do
not
you
say
,
P●ace
,
Peace
,
when
the
Papists
intend
and
prepare
D●struction
,
Destruction
;
but
let
that
be
verified
of
you
,
which
Henry
VIII
.
saith
of
his
time
;
to
wit
,
The
World
is
not
now
in
so
light
a
suspicion
of
you
(
Papists
)
as
it
hath
been
hitherto
;
but
every
Man
seeth
before
his
Eies
,
your
deceits
,
your
Wicked
Minds
,
your
Immortal
Hatred
against
the
Truth
,
and
the
Professors
af
it
,
every
Man
sees
how
many
miserable
Tragedies
your
pretence
of
an
Unity
and
Concord
hath
brought
into
Christendom
.
They
see
your
fair
face
of
Peace
hath
served
Sedition
,
and
troubled
almost
all
Christian
Realms
.
And
therefore
seeing
they
were
so
quick-sighted
who
lived
above
an
hundred
and
thirty
years
ago
,
to
see
and
foresee
the
Treacheries
and
Cruelties
of
the
Papists
,
let
not
us
who
live
so
many
years
after
,
and
have
had
far
greater
experience
of
them
,
be
altogether
blind
,
and
see
nothing
at
all
,
in
the
clear
Noon-shine
of
their
Doings
.
Wherefore
let
all
be
admonished
,
that
after
the
desired
Tidings
of
Peace
they
be
not
so
eagerly
addicted
to
the
rebuilding
their
Houses
,
and
regaining
their
Trade
,
and
prosecuting
their
Worldly
Affairs
and
Concernments
(
whilst
yet
they
are
uncertain
of
the
enjoyment
of
any
thing
)
that
they
become
careless
and
regardless
how
it
fares
with
the
Church
of
Christ
and
his
Gospel
(
which
is
the
very
light
and
life
of
our
Souls
,
as
well
as
the
foundation
of
all
our
outward
comforts
)
or
how
active
and
watchful
the
Brood
of
Antichrist
,
which
lurks
amongst
us
,
becomes
,
that
they
may
deprive
us
of
our
Religion
and
Lives
;
and
so
,
be
as
greedy
Birds
that
are
scratching
for
food
,
whilst
the
Net
is
spreading
over
them
to
catch
them
at
unawares
,
for
what
will
it
profit
you
to
win
Estates
,
and
to
lose
your
Lives
?
your
Lives
are
better
than
your
Estates
;
and
your
Estates
are
but
for
the
comfort
of
your
Lives
.
And
if
the
Enemy
take
away
your
Lives
,
whose
shall
your
Estates
be
?
they
shall
even
become
a
reward
to
the
Murderers
.
Awaken
therefore
O
Protestants
and
English
Men
out
of
your
deep
and
dangerous
Security
!
and
stand
upon
your
feet
like
Men
:
Ye
dead
men
live
again
,
and
I
will
humbly
and
faithfully
advise
you
(
as
I
am
able
)
out
of
very
love
,
in
a
few
things
.
1.
My
First
Advice
is
,
that
you
believe
none
of
their
pretended
fairness
and
kindness
to
you
,
seeing
their
hearts
are
wholly
against
you
,
and
their
hatred
to
you
is
immortal
;
even
the
hatred
of
the
Devil
in
the
Hearts
of
Men
,
which
is
a
certain
fire
of
Hell
which
goes
not
out
by
Day
or
by
Night
.
But
know
for
certain
,
when
they
promise
fair
,
they
are
not
to
perform
any
thing
,
but
the
quite
contrary
:
when
they
seem
to
kiss
you
,
they
intend
to
kill
you
;
when
they
suffer
you
to
be
quite
,
't
is
that
they
may
bring
the
greater
Trouble
upon
you
;
when
they
retreat
from
the
exercise
of
their
fierceness
,
't
is
that
they
return
upon
you
with
the
greater
Fury
,
when
you
shall
less
think
of
it
;
for
their
whole
Trade
is
Deceit
and
Violence
.
Though
Satan
transform
himself
into
an
Angel
of
Light
,
yet
still
is
he
is
the
Prince
of
Darkness
;
and
these
his
Followers
are
exactly
like
him
,
both
to
deceive
and
to
destroy
:
they
will
change
their
Colours
,
like
Proteus
,
to
deceive
you
,
but
they
will
never
change
their
cruel
Minds
;
but
they
that
will
be
deceived
,
let
them
be
deceived
.
2.
My
Second
Advice
is
,
that
none
either
Plot
or
Attempt
any
thing
against
the
present
Power
,
but
that
all
stand
still
in
their
Place
and
Calling
,
like
Wisemen
with
their
Eies
in
their
Head
,
quietly
waiting
for
the
Salvation
of
God
.
For
no
Mans
Hands
can
help
him
in
this
Matter
,
but
our
strength
is
to
sit
still
.
We
can
no
more
change
Kingdoms
and
Governments
in
the
World
,
than
we
can
alter
the
Course
of
the
Sun
or
Moon
in
the
Heavens
;
but
it
is
the
Great
God
that
must
do
these
great
things
.
It
is
the
most
High
God
that
reigns
in
the
Kingdom
of
Men
,
and
gives
them
to
whomsoever
he
will
.
And
when
his
time
is
come
,
the
set
and
full
time
,
and
the
most
High
shall
utter
his
Voice
,
his
instruments
shall
be
at
his
foot
,
ready
to
do
his
work
,
even
to
execute
the
Vengeance
written
;
and
all
his
mighty
Providences
shall
concur
,
to
bring
about
the
Council
of
his
Will.
Wherefore
remember
that
Mans
rashness
carrys
ruin
in
it
,
but
Patience
perfects
both
Gods
Works
and
Mans.
In
Patience
possess
your
Souls
.
Wherefore
all
that
we
would
do
,
if
we
might
be
heard
by
those
that
are
instructed
to
help
,
at
this
needful
Time
is
,
only
to
desire
for
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
the
Nations
good
,
and
their
own
,
these
three
things
.
1.
That
the
dear
and
precious
Gospel
of
our
Lord
and
Saviour
may
be
permitted
publiquely
to
be
Preached
again
,
in
the
Purity
and
Power
of
it
,
and
that
the
faithful
Teachers
may
be
restored
to
their
Ministry
throughout
the
whole
Nation
.
For
when
Jesus
Christ
who
hath
all
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
given
into
his
hands
,
hath
commanded
his
Ministers
to
go
and
teach
in
all
Nations
.
How
can
you
Worldly
Powers
,
who
have
but
a
little
Power
in
this
Nation
,
answer
it
to
him
,
when
you
forbid
that
to
be
done
which
he
hath
so
solemnly
commanded
?
He
that
hath
all
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
hath
commanded
his
Ministers
to
teach
his
Gospel
,
and
dare
you
who
have
but
a
little
power
on
Earth
,
and
none
at
all
in
Heaven
forbid
them
?
If
you
do
not
repent
of
and
amend
this
our
Evils
,
it
had
been
better
for
you
,
that
you
had
never
been
born
.
2.
Our
second
desire
is
,
That
all
Popish
Commanders
may
be
Disbanded
,
and
put
out
of
all
Office
and
Trust
in
a
Protestant
Nation
;
and
that
all
Papists
through
England
may
be
disarmed
;
seeing
they
are
not
armed
for
us
,
but
against
us
.
3.
That
all
French
and
Outlandish
Men
may
be
banished
;
for
they
are
but
Moths
in
our
English
Garment
,
to
fret
it
by
degrees
,
all
to
pieces
;
as
they
have
fretted
a
great
deal
of
it
already
.
And
what
English-man
or
Protestant
is
there
,
that
wi●
not
s●
with
us
in
these
necessary
Desires
,
which
if
they
be
not
granted
,
farewel
all
Good
Days
from
England
for
our
time
.
And
now
to
conclude
all
,
I
shall
only
leave
two
or
three
Sovereign
Antidotes
with
my
dear
Country-Men
to
preserve
them
from
the
noysome
Contagion
and
Plague
of
Popery
.
1.
Consider
with
Trembling
,
that
none
are
given
up
to
this
Damnable
Delusion
but
those
whose
Names
are
not
Written
in
the
Lambs
Book
of
Life
,
as
the
Spirit
of
God
affirms
Rev.
13.8
.
saying
,
And
all
that
dwell
upon
Earth
shall
worship
him
(
i.
e.
the
Beast
or
Antichrist
of
Rome
)
whose
Names
are
not
writt●n
in
the
Book
of
Life
,
of
the
Lamb
slain
from
the
Foundation
of
the
World
,
And
what
Person
would
carry
such
a
Worm
in
his
Conscience
continually
,
for
the
whole
World
,
and
all
the
Kingdoms
and
Gl●●y
of
it
,
as
to
know
and
certainly
to
understand
,
that
his
Name
is
not
written
in
the
Book
of
Life
,
nor
can
ever
be
put
in
;
for
all
the
Writings
in
that
Book
are
from
Eternity
,
and
no
new
thing
can
be
inserted
in
it
.
And
therefore
let
Men
say
what
they
will
,
they
are
none
of
Gods
Elect
,
who
close
in
with
this
False
and
H●●●tical
Religion
,
after
the
Gospel
hath
been
Preached
to
them
,
and
they
have
been
instructed
in
it
.
For
to
depart
from
the
known
Truth
to
known
Error
,
is
not
a
Sin
of
Ignorance
,
but
of
Malice
;
and
this
is
the
Sin
unto
Death
,
for
which
there
is
no
Remission
.
Wherefore
let
every
one
that
would
attain
to
any
comfortable
Assurance
that
his
Name
is
Written
in
the
Book
of
Life
,
flee
from
Popery
.
2.
They
that
Apostatise
to
this
False
Religion
,
are
a
surely
to
be
Damn'd
as
if
they
were
in
Hell
already
,
This
is
a
hard
saying
,
but
a
True
One
:
as
it
is
evident
in
that
of
Paul
,
2
Thes.
2.
where
speaking
of
Antichrist
,
that
Wicked
One
,
whose
coming
is
after
the
working
of
Satan
.
with
all
Pow●r
and
Signs
,
and
Lying
Wonders
,
and
with
all
deceiveableness
of
Unrighteousness
in
them
that
perish
,
because
they
received
not
the
love
of
the
Truth
,
that
they
might
be
saved
.
He
adds
,
And
for
this
cause
God
shall
send
th●m
strong
Delusions
that
they
should
b●lieve
a
Lye
,
that
they
All
may
be
Damn'd
that
b●lieve
not
the
Truth
,
but
have
pleasure
in
Unright●ousness
.
This
sort
of
People
God
gives
them
up
to
believe
a
Lye
,
the
Grand
Lye
of
Popery
(
for
this
whole
Religion
is
nothing
else
but
one
continued
Lye
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
of
it
)
to
the
intent
,
that
they
should
all
Perish
and
be
Damn'd
.
This
is
the
Word
of
God
,
against
all
wilful
Papists
,
and
it
cannot
be
made
void
.
John
also
testifies
Rev.
14.9
.
that
an
Angel
Proclaimed
with
a
loud
voice
,
saying
,
If
any
Man
Worship
the
Beast
and
his
Image
,
and
receive
his
Mark
in
his
Forehead
,
or
in
his
hand
,
the
same
shall
drink
of
the
Wine
of
the
Wrath
of
God
which
is
poured
out
without
mixture
into
the
Cup
of
his
Indignation
.
and
he
shall
be
tormented
with
Fire
and
Brimstone
,
in
the
presence
of
the
holy
Angels
,
and
in
the
presence
of
the
Lamb
;
and
the
Smoak
of
their
Torment
asc●ndeth
up
for
ever
and
ever
:
and
they
have
no
rest
Day
nor
Night
,
which
Worship
the
Beast
and
his
Image
,
and
whosoever
receiveth
the
Mark
of
his
Name
.
In
which
Scripture
you
may
see
with
open
face
,
the
sad
end
of
all
the
Popish
Generation
:
which
is
to
be
tormented
for
ever
and
ever
.
Wherefore
out
of
very
Malice
,
they
have
been
,
are
,
and
will
be
our
Tormentors
here
,
when
they
get
opportunity
,
because
the
Devil
is
to
be
their
Tormentor
in
Hell
for
ever
.
Wherefore
who
ever
would
avoid
the
Torments
of
Hell
let
him
fly
from
Popery
.
3.
Lastly
Antichrist
is
now
in
his
Old
Age
,
and
draws
near
his
End
,
yea
is
drawing
his
last
breath
.
He
is
very
shortly
to
be
utterly
destroyed
with
the
Spirit
of
Christs
Mouth
,
and
the
Brightness
of
his
coming
.
And
what
Wise-Man
,
yea
what
Man
of
common
reason
would
join
himself
to
Antichrist
,
for
one
hour
,
yea
for
one
quarter
or
minute
of
his
hour
?
If
Men
might
have
reigned
with
him
many
years
,
and
have
enjoyed
his
Delicacies
for
a
long
Season
,
then
might
it
have
been
a
strong
inducement
to
a
carnal
heart
,
who
seeks
his
Portion
only
in
this
life
,
to
have
closed
in
with
him
;
but
now
to
do
it
when
his
Destruction
draws
near
,
what
extream
Folly
and
Madness
must
it
needs
be
?
Who
would
venture
a
Board
that
Ship
which
is
just
a
sinking
?
or
become
a
Subject
in
that
Kingdom
which
is
just
ready
to
be
rooted
up
?
and
confident
I
am
through
God
,
that
after
Antichrist
and
his
Brood
of
Serpents
,
have
play'd
a
few
more
of
their
old
cruel
Pranks
anew
in
England
,
both
He
and
They
will
become
so
utterly
odious
to
All
,
that
their
Name
shall
be
no
more
remembred
among
us
,
but
with
highest
Contempt
and
Indignation
,
and
that
for
ever
.
And
let
the
Lord
say
Amen
,
and
all
his
People
.
AND
now
O
Lord
,
to
whom
should
we
look
?
our
Eies
are
only
unto
thee
.
And
we
beseech
thee
to
look
down
from
Heaven
,
the
Habitation
of
thy
Holiness
,
and
of
thy
Glory
,
upon
us
,
and
upon
our
present
Sad
,
and
almost
Desperate
Condition
:
and
stretch
forth
thy
Holy
Arm
to
maintain
Thine
Own
Good
Cause
,
(
which
thine
Enemies
scorn
and
deride
,
and
laugh
at
among
themselves
)
and
to
help
afflicted
Righteousness
,
and
thine
own
poor
People
,
who
are
brought
very
low
,
so
that
their
belly
cleaveth
,
even
to
the
dust
.
Indeed
,
Vain
is
the
Help
of
Man
,
and
our
Enemies
say
,
There
is
no
help
for
us
in
God
:
But
yet
we
know
there
is
help
in
thee
,
and
that
thy
help
is
never
in
vain
.
For
thou
canst
do
the
greatest
Things
by
the
smallest
Means
,
yea
thou
canst
do
the
greatest
Things
,
without
all
Means
.
For
thou
spakest
and
the
World
was
made
,
thou
didst
command
,
and
it
stood
fast
.
Therefore
our
Eies
are
unto
thee
,
O
Lord
,
and
we
do
believe
that
thou
canst
do
all
things
;
and
can
so
do
them
,
that
none
can
resist
thee
.
Is
any
thing
too
hard
for
the
Lord
?
shall
we
call
thy
Power
in
Question
,
who
didst
prepare
a
safe
passage
for
thy
People
through
the
mighty
Waters
,
and
didst
cause
them
to
walk
on
dry
ground
through
the
depths
of
the
Sea
?
Take
therefore
thy
great
Power
and
come
and
Reign
in
the
midst
of
these
thy
greatest
Enemies
,
till
thou
make
them
All
thy
Footstool
,
and
till
thou
hast
put
down
all
Rule
,
Authority
and
Power
which
lifts
up
its
Head
,
and
stretcheth
forth
its
Arm
against
thee
,
O
Lord
,
and
thy
Holy
and
Blessed
Gospel
,
and
thine
Anointed
.
Oh
cause
Iniquity
to
stop
its
Mouth
,
and
Wickedness
to
hide
its
face
again
.
Let
Violence
no
more
be
heard
in
our
Land
,
nor
Wasting
and
Destruction
within
our
Borders
;
let
the
cause
of
the
Fatherless
and
of
the
Widows
be
justly
judged
,
Let
thy
Prisoners
be
loosed
,
and
thine
oppressed
be
eased
;
let
them
be
helped
,
who
have
no
helper
.
Make
way
with
thy
strong
Arm
for
thy
own
Labourers
to
continue
to
come
to
thy
Harvest-Work
;
for
thy
Harvest
(
we
trust
)
is
very
great
in
England
.
And
therefore
O
Thou
into
whose
hands
all
Things
are
delivered
of
the
Father
,
and
all
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
is
given
;
and
who
by
this
Greatest
and
Highest
Authority
of
Thine
,
hast
commanded
thy
Ministers
,
to
go
and
teach
all
Nations
,
after
thou
didst
send
them
:
Oh
do
thou
make
way
for
them
to
teach
this
Unworthy
Nation
,
before
the
Coming
of
the
Son
of
Man
;
that
through
their
ministring
thy
Word
,
thy
Church
may
awake
and
rouze
up
it self
,
and
put
off
its
filthy
Raiment
,
and
may
be
restored
to
the
Brightness
of
its
first
rising
,
when
it
was
full
of
faith
and
love
,
and
all
Graces
and
Gifts
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
without
any
mixture
of
Antichristian
Errors
,
that
all
thy
People
may
strive
together
for
the
Faith
of
the
Gospel
,
and
not
quarrel
any
longer
about
empty
Forms
;
but
may
with
One
Mind
,
and
with
One
Mouth
confess
the
Truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
:
and
then
shall
all
Kings
bow
down
before
thee
,
and
all
Nations
that
serve
Thee
,
they
shall
sing
forth
the
Honour
of
thy
Name
and
make
thy
Praise
Glorious
.
Amen
.
FINIS
