The
manner
of
the
burning
the
Pope
in
Effigies
in
London
,
on
the
5th
of
November
,
1678.
IT
is
a
singular
Prerogative
attributed
particularly
to
our
Nation
,
and
seems
undissolvably
intail'd
on
our
Clime
,
that
our
Children
,
even
whilst
so
young
that
they
can
hardly
ask
for
the
necessaries
of
Life
,
do
yet
in
their
sports
and
deportments
divulge
as
particular
a
liking
to
Generosity
and
Virtue
,
as
they
demonstrate
and
irreconcileable
Odium
to
Treachery
and
Deceit
,
which
are
their
Contraries
.
This
is
most
apparent
by
their
earnest
Celebration
of
this
5th
day
of
November
;
a
day
,
which
the
oldest
of
us
all
indeed
ought
not
to
remember
without
sending
up
Vollies
of
Congratulations
to
Heaven
,
from
whence
we
undeservedly
receiv'd
so
extraordinary
,
and
miraculous
a
deliverance
,
from
that
Hell●sh
Gunpowder-Plot
contriv'd
in
the
year
1605
and
levelled
not
only
at
the
dissolution
of
our
King
and
Peers
,
but
at
the
total
subv●rsion
of
Religion
,
and
the
ruine
and
destruction
of
the
whole
Land
.
In
that
Age
wherein
this
Conspiracy
was
contrived
,
and
designed
to
have
been
effected
,
it
was
lookt
on
as
so
monstrously
impudent
,
that
it
would
admit
of
no
parallel
;
All
the
Treacheries
of
Europe
compounded
would
not
come
near
it
;
nor
all
the
Inhumanity
of
the
Turks
and
Pagans
give
it
but
a
faint
resemblance
,
so
that
't
is
no
wonder
if
the
very
remembrance
of
it
did
sharpen
the
Mothers
Milk
,
and
their
Children
sucking
it
in
with
their
sustenance
,
became
instinctively
irritated
at
theirs
and
their
Parents
intended
Murder
.
But
that
danger
being
over
,
who
could
expect
the
unwelcome
repetition
of
any
thing
of
the
same
nature
by
the
same
Party
:
But
alas
,
it
is
little
wonder
to
see
such
bad
Practices
from
those
,
who
by
principle
reckon
upon
't
as
meritorious
to
undertake
them
.
Why
should
not
even
our
Youth
then
espouse
a
noble
Indignation
at
the
injustice
and
by
their
resentments
on
the
Effigy
,
divulge
a
deserved
contempt
of
the
Original
.
Which
to
effect
,
on
this
present
Fifth
Day
of
November
,
they
caused
several
of
the
said
Effigies
,
or
Resemblances
of
the
Pope
,
to
be
made
;
some
of
them
displaying
him
in
one
posture
,
and
some
in
another
;
but
all
of
them
were
followed
with
lowd
and
numerous
acclamations
to
their
several
places
of
Execution
.
He
of
them
who
might
best
pretend
to
the
priority
in
point
of
Workmanship
and
invention
,
was
raised
on
a
small
Pavillion
,
born
like
Pageants
on
Mens
Backs
,
with
a
large
Cross
filled
with
Lamps
,
which
in
much
majesty
stalkt
before
him
,
whilst
the
Effigies
,
curiously
adorned
with
his
Triple
Crown
,
Neck-lace
of
Beads
,
and
all
his
other
superstitious
Accouterments
,
came
very
sumptuously
behind
,
in
procession
from
the
Royal-Exchange
to
Temple-Bar
,
and
visiting
most
Streets
,
Courts
,
and
Alleys
as
he
walkt
along
.
So
frollick
was
he
,
that
he
danced
before
the
Flames
,
and
when
he
came
near
Temple-Bar
(
the
place
of
Execution
)
cut
a
Caper
into
a
great
Bonefire
,
provided
on
purpose
to
entertain
him
,
whose
abominable
civilities
had
been
so
great
,
as
heretofore
to
provide
such
large
ones
for
others
.
In
fine
after
this
feigned
Pope
had
been
sufficiently
exposed
to
the
Vulgar
Reflections
,
he
was
hurl'd
,
Canopy
,
Triple
Crown
,
Beads
,
Crucifix
and
all
into
the
Bonefire
near
Chancery-Lane
end
,
in
Fleet-street
,
where
a
world
of
People
celebrated
his
fall
with
a
general
Utinam
,
that
all
his
Majesties
Enemies
,
or
the
perverters
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
or
English
Government
,
may
ere
long
be
reduced
to
some
such
Fate
.
A
brief
Account
of
the
Papistical
Massacres
and
Cruelties
towards
Protestants
.
THE
first
we
shall
insert
,
was
done
about
100
years
since
in
Paris
;
in
which
Massacre
so
many
thousand
Protestants
fell
,
and
with
them
that
famous
Commander
Colligny
,
whom
the
Roman
Chronicler
,
because
he
would
pen
that
story
to
the
Life
,
has
not
omitted
to
tell
Posterity
,
how
that
Noble
Admiral
was
thrown
out
of
a
Window
into
the
Street
,
to
be
used
as
we
do
Cats
,
and
Dogs
,
in
Protestant
Countreys
;
but
good
enough
for
an
Heretick
,
whom
the
worse
they
use
,
the
better
they
are
.
The
next
Cruelty
,
and
no
less
barbarous
than
the
former
,
was
the
Irish
Massacre
in
1640.
wherein
were
aboce
300
thousand
Protestants
murdered
;
several
that
escaped
with
their
Lives
,
were
yet
cruelly
dismembred
,
some
of
their
Tongues
,
others
of
their
Hands
and
Privities
,
&c.
and
the
rest
driven
into
Bogs
and
Wildernesses
.
The
last
of
their
Inhumanities
we
shall
at
present
insert
,
shall
be
that
never
to
be
forgot
Murder
of
Henry
the
Third
and
Henry
the
Fourth
.
The
first
whereof
because
he
would
not
give
his
consent
to
Murder
all
the
Hugonots
or
Protestants
in
his
Kingdom
,
though
himself
was
a
Papist
,
yet
for
the
Reason
aforesaid
they
cruelly
murdered
him
;
And
the
latter
because
inclining
to
the
like
lenity
,
though
their
Convert
,
they
serv'd
in
the
same
kind
.
