THE
Pope's
Cabinet
UNLOCK'D
.
A
Papa
Principium
.
Why
not
this
as
good
an
Invocation
now-a-days
,
as
à
Jove
Principium
,
in
times
of
Yore
?
for
my
part
,
I
know
no
reason
to
the
contrary
;
since
the
former
is
styled
God
by
some
,
and
Vice-God
by
most
Romanists
;
the
latter
known
by
all
to
be
no
God
at
all
,
or
at
best
,
a
false
one
.
Therefore
to
begin
with
Holiness
must
needs
be
commendable
,
nay
,
with
His
Holiness
,
{αβγδ}
,
that
cannot
prove
successless
.
Avaunt
then
,
fond
Protestant
,
and
do
not
hit
him
so
often
in
the
teeth
with
the
flurting
Nick-name
of
the
Man
of
Sin
.
No
,
no
,
he
's
the
Man
of
Sanctity
;
there
's
the
Mistake
;
nor
with
that
frequent
unmannerly
Title
of
the
Whore
of
Babylon
;
for
that
is
both
incoherent
with
Sense
,
and
inconsistent
with
the
Sex
;
but
be
not
too
bold
with
that
Argument
,
whatever
you
do
,
good
Papist
,
for
fear
some
blunt
Protestant
round
you
in
the
Ear
(
and
that
he
is
like
enuf
to
do
)
with
the
Story
of
Pope
Joan
,
and
tell
you
to
your
face
,
when
you
say
you
are
abus'd
herein
,
that
it
is
with
a
matter
of
truth
,
and
shew
you
good
reason
for
it
too
;
i●
there
be
either
Truth
or
reason
in
a
great
many
of
your
own
Popish
Writers
,
who
allow
the
History
to
be
authentick
:
but
of
that
more
anon
.
An
ordinary
Physician
,
by
the
Indisposition
of
the
Head
,
can
soon
judge
of
the
Temper
of
the
Body
;
and
no
doubt
when
the
Reader
understands
how
this
Head
of
the
Church
stands
affected
,
he
will
soon
guess
at
the
foulness
of
the
Stomach
,
and
give
an
account
of
the
weak
and
crazy
Constitution
of
the
whole
Body
Ecclesiastick
.
Do
but
observe
the
numerous
and
haughty
Titles
that
he
so
magisterially
assumes
to
himself
,
as
the
Universal
,
the
Infallible
Bishop
of
Rome
;
the
Head
of
the
Catholick
Church
,
the
Supreme
Pastor
,
the
Holy
one
,
the
Pope
,
Christ's
Vicegerent
,
God's
Vicar
,
a
Vice-god
,
nay
,
a
God
upon
Earth
,
and
God
knows
how
many
more
;
and
then
tell
me
truly
,
whether
in
his
Pride
and
number
of
Names
he
may
not
out-vye
both
Turk
and
Persian
(
and
at
length
prove
as
little
a
Christian
as
either
of
them
)
who
upon
the
bare
Report
of
this
usurped
Authority
,
have
bestow'd
on
him
two
glorious
Denominations
,
the
one
calling
him
Rumbeg
,
that
is
,
Prince
or
Lord
of
Rome
,
the
other
Rumschah
,
King
of
Rome
.
First
then
to
begin
with
the
Blasphemies
used
by
several
Popes
themselves
,
which
are
so
great
,
that
if
Profaneness
it self
,
could
it
assume
an
humane
Shape
,
would
not
be
guilty
of
;
and
Lucian
,
that
Arch-Apostate
,
were
he
now
alive
,
would
,
if
compar'd
to
them
,
be
accounted
moderate
.
Leo
the
Tenth
,
Son
to
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
was
a
chuck-farthing-Boy
Cardinal
,
who
was
thought
to
deserve
the
Red
Hat
at
the
Age
of
Thirteen
,
and
a
Pope
at
Twenty
,
the
unerring
Bishop
of
Christendom
in
hanging
Sleeves
,
who
before
he
could
write
Man
,
or
of
Age
,
was
Father
of
all
the
Aged
;
and
truly
he
verified
the
old
Proverb
,
Soon
ripe
,
soon
rotten
;
for
what
a
more
putrid
and
blasphemous
Expression
could
be
belch'd
forth
by
the
Devil
himself
,
than
that
of
his
,
who
when
Cardinal
Bembo
quoted
a
place
out
of
the
New
Testament
,
replied
,
Quantum
nobis
profuit
haec
Fabul●
de
Christo
,
What
Wealth
have
we
gain'd
by
this
Fable
of
Christ
?
Was
not
this
becoming
Christ's
Vicegerent
?
And
after
a
Dispute
de
Anima
,
't
was
as
good
a
Sentence
of
the
Good
Soul
,
Et
redit
in
nihilum
quod
fuit
ante
nihil
.
Julius
the
Third
,
a
mere
Epicure
,
when
he
was
at
Table
with
several
Grandees
of
Rome
,
had
a
Peacock
serv'd
in
at
Dinner
,
(
his
beloved
Dish
)
and
gave
strict
order
it
should
be
kept
cold
for
his
Supper
;
but
it
seems
some
of
his
Servants
through
neglect
dispos'd
of
it
otherwise
:
now
when
the
time
of
his
Evening
Repast
came
,
and
he
found
it
wanting
,
he
fell
into
so
great
a
Chafe
and
Rage
,
for
this
Sin
of
Omission
in
his
Servitor
,
that
his
Holiness
was
guilty
of
a
Sin
of
Commission
;
insomuch
,
that
a
more
moderate
Cardinal
,
one
of
his
Guests
,
told
him
,
that
it
was
ill
done
to
be
so
passionate
,
and
fly
out
into
so
great
a
Fury
for
so
small
a
Trifle
;
but
he
suddenly
replied
,
If
God
was
so
angry
as
to
expel
Adam
Paradise
for
an
Apple
,
well
might
he
,
who
was
his
Vicar
,
be
offended
for
the
Disappointment
of
his
Peacock
which
was
of
greater
value
than
any
Apple
could
possibly
be
.
The
same
worthy
Pope
missing
his
Pork
,
which
was
one
of
his
standing
Dishes
,
(
for
he
was
a
great
Lover
of
Pork
and
Peacock
)
asked
the
Reason
of
it
;
his
Steward
answer'd
,
that
his
Physicians
had
given
order
there
should
be
no
Pork
serv'd
in
because
it
was
very
injurious
and
destructive
to
his
Health
;
whereat
he
began
to
fly
in
the
very
face
of
him
whose
Vicar
he
boasts
himself
to
be
,
saying
,
Porta
mi
quello
mio
Piatto
al
dispetto
de
Dio
,
Fetch
me
my
Pork
(
my
Dish
of
Meat
)
in
spight
of
God
himself
.
These
Words
savour
of
more
than
Lucianisme
.
Paul
the
Third
,
in
a
Procession
at
Rome
,
where
the
Body
of
Christ
,
as
they
term
it
,
was
with
great
Solemnity
and
seeming
Piety
carried
before
him
,
said
,
That
if
the
Company
did
not
make
more
haste
he
would
renounce
Christ
;
whereupon
some
Persons
made
up
to
them
that
were
in
the
Front
,
with
all
speed
,
and
caused
them
to
mend
their
Pace
.
Nay
farther
,
Pope
Paul
being
in
an
open
Consistory
of
Cardinals
,
boldly
told
by
one
of
them
,
that
he
could
not
bestow
Palma
and
Piacenza
on
his
two
Bastards
,
unless
he
would
inevitably
purchase
his
own
Damnation
.
To
this
he
answer'd
,
If
St.
Paul
,
the
Apostle
of
the
Gentiles
had
so
tender
an
Affection
for
his
Country-men
,
whom
he
calls
Brethren
,
as
to
wish
and
desire
himself
to
be
separate
from
Christ
,
so
that
they
might
obtain
Salvation
;
why
may
not
I
with
as
great
Love
and
Affection
to
my
Sons
and
Nephews
,
study
by
all
means
possible
to
aggrandize
them
,
and
make
them
honourable
with
the
hazard
of
my
own
Salvation
?
O
the
yearning
Bowels
and
tender
Compassion
of
this
Holy
Father
to
the
living
Monuments
of
his
Infamy
!
Poor
cow-hearted
Hugonot
!
Where
is
there
a
Calvin
,
Beza
,
or
Bishop
among
you
all
that
dares
or
can
show
such
strange
and
strong
efforts
of
a
noble
and
undaunted
Spirit
,
who
for
the
Promotion
and
Welfare
of
his
Children
here
,
dares
damn
his
own
Soul
for
ever
hereafter
?
Alas
!
There
's
no
such
Spirit
among
you
.
What
think
you
of
Gregory
the
Seventh
?
tho
his
proper
name
(
which
Popes
renounce
at
their
Election
)
was
Hildebrand
,
which
signifies
Fire-brand
of
Hell
in
the
Tutonick
Tongue
,
as
the
Germans
affirm
;
and
Chemnitius
gives
him
the
same
Title
,
calling
him
Titio
Infernalis
;
when
he
consulted
the
Oracle
of
his
Breaden
God
,
threw
it
into
the
Fire
,
before
many
Cardinals
,
who
could
not
withhold
him
,
because
it
gave
him
no
answer
as
to
the
event
of
his
War
with
the
Emperour
Henry
the
Fourth
of
France
.

John

in

Sermon
in
S.
Peters
Church
before
a
numerous
Auditory
,
being
upon
the
profanation
of
the
Blessed
Sacrament
,
said
,
Hildebrand
and
we
with
him
have
done
a
Fact
for
which
we
Deserve
to
be
Burnt
alive
;
meaning
the
forementioned
Action
.
Nay
,
this
Hostia
was
so
Contemned
and
Slighted
by
him
,
that
he
most
wickedly
caused
Pope
Victor
the
Second
to
be
poisoned
with
the
Consecrated
Wine
of
the
Holy
Eucharist
;
and
yet
Cardinal
Bellarmine
had
the
confidence
to
Justifie
this
Man
,
as
a
Saint
,
by
Twenty
seven
Authors
;
and
another
had
the
impudence
to
own
him
as
a
Canoniz'd
Saint
by
two
more
,
which
he
throws
into
the
Bargain
to
add
to
the
former
Number
;
These
are
a
pack
of
Saints
of
the
Devils
Canonizing
undoubtedly
.
What
will
you
say
of
another
of
these
Pious
Arch
Prelates
,
who
was
the
Person
that
caused
the
Emperour
Henry

Seventh
,

,
to
be
poisoned
,
and

What
will
the

Devil
do
,
trow
we
,
if
their
God
be
so
dangerous
,
saith
the
learned
Frenchman

Stevens
,
who
composed
this
Huictain
upon
the
very
Subject
;

I
th'
number
of
their
Gods
Pagans
we
find
Ner'e
rank't
such
as
were
hurtful
to
Mankind
;
If
that
the
God
of
Paste
can
poison
men
,
As
the
Emperour
Henry
testifies
,
what
then
Would
Heathens
of
these
brave
Doctors
have
said
,
Who
teach
Men
to

For
if

,
'Twixt
God
and

what
's
the
difference
.
As
for
Boniface
the
Eighth
,
it
is
too
notorious
how
he
undervalued
and
vilified
the
same
Host
when
he
was
Prisoner
to
the
Gibellines
of
the
Emperour's
Faction
in
the
City
of
Agnania

Julius
the
Second
,
when
he
was
defeated
by
the
Earl
of
Faix
,
and
totally
routed
near
Ravenna
,
he
out
of
extraordinary
Zeal
and
Fervor
(
I
must
not
call
it
Madness
,
or
Irreverence
)
threw
away
the
Hostia
,
and
made
it
be
trampled
upon
by
the
unsanctified
Feet
of
the
rude
Multitude
,
which
hath
been
formerly
taken
by
them
with
so
much
Reverence
and
Adoration
.

Thus
you
see
how

behave
themselves
in
Person
,
and
this
is
not

runs
on

a
continued

of

as
Black
as
the

could
be

which
he
purchased
by
his
Adulation

Hyperbolical
Elogy

But
I
presume
I
have
tortur'd
you
sufficiently
with
this
horrid
Discourse
;
therefore
I
close
it
with
the
Words
of
Seneca
;
Magne

tam

Tam

Great
God
of
Heaven
!
can'st
thou
both
hear
and
see
Such
horrid
Crimes
as
these
so
patiently
?
When
will
thy
incens'd
Justice
send
,
I
wonder
,
From
thy
Almighty

revenging
Thunder

The
next
Vertues
that
qualifie
them
for
the
Papal
Chair
,
are
Chastity
,
Continencie
and
Abstinence
from
Carnal
Lusts
,
&c.
and
how
well
they
are
gifted
with
these
will
appear
by
the
following
Examples
.
Pope
John
the
Thirteenth
was
a
Monster
of
Men
,
nay
,
of
Popes
too
;
who
,
as
it
was
articled
against
him
in
a
General
Council
,
committed
Incest
with
two
of
his
Sisters
,
deflowred
innocent
Virgins
,
lay
with
Stephana
his
Fathers
Concubine
(
a
lovely
Generation
,
like
Father
like
Son
)
with
Raynera
a
Widow
,
and
one
Anna
,
with
her
Neece
likewise
.
He
was
a
great
Enemy
to
the
Married
Clergy
;
and
from
him
Dunstan
received
a
Commission
to
be
unnaturally
incestuous
.
Pope
Sylvius
left
a
brace
of
Bastards
here
in
England
,
the
one
got
on
a
Scotch
,
and
the
other
on
an
English
Woman
;
nay
,
whilst
he
was
Cardinal
,
he
kept
his
Concubine
.
John
the
Twelvth
was
kill'd
by
the
Devil
in
the
Act
with
another
man's
Wife
,
saith
Sigebert
;
but
others
report
that
he
was
taken
in
the
Act
,
and
by
the
hand
of
an
abused
Husband
,
like
Zimri
,
had
the
just
reward
of
his
foul
and
open
Adultery
;
for
the
fatal
gash
that
he
receiv'd
sent
him
packing
to
the
other
World
in
Eight
days
time
.
Rodorique

Alexander
the
Sixth
after
he
came
to

Papacy
,
was

tho
his
Predecessors
disguised
them
under
the
appellation
of

,
(
looking
upon
Fig-leaves
to
be
some
,
tho
but
a
slender
covering
of
Nakedness
,
)
yet
he
was
so
shameless
in
his
Lust
,
as
publikly
to
acknowledge
his
base
Offspring
;
and
particularly
took
cognizance
of
Caesar
Borgia
,
one
that
had
a
Soul
of
as
swarthy
a
Complexion
as
his
Father
,
and
procur'd
him
a
red
Hat
;
but
he
being
soon
weary
of
the
Gospel
,
which
might
well
be
asham'd
of
him
,
did
as
suddenly
procure
a
Dispensation
to
un-Cardinal
himself
;

committed

with
their

Guicciardin

Lueretia
by
name
;
as
famous
for
Whoredom
in
the
new
,
as
her
Name-sake
for
Chastity
in
old
Rome
;
of
whom
Pontanus
writes
this
Epitaph
.
Conditur
hoc
tumulo
Lucretia
nomine
,
sed
re
Thais
,
Pontificis
Filia
,
Sponsa
,
Nurus
.
Here
lies
Lucrece
by
Name
,
Thais
in
Life
,
The
Pope's
Child
,
Spouse
,
and
yet
his
own
Son's
Wife
.
He
caused
his
eldest
Brother
,
the
Duke
of
Candia
,
to
be
murthered
as
he
rode
one
Night
in
the
City
of
Rome
,
and
his
Body
cast
into
Tyber
,
because
he
thought
him
a
Rub
in
his
way
to
Preferment
.
He
was
,
like
his
Father
,
very
lavish
in
his
Lust
,
insomuch
that
he
did
not
forbear
to
tread
both
Hen
and
Chicken
when
the
Fit
was
upon
him
;
nay
,
at
the
taking
of
Capua
,
where
he
assisted
the
French
,
he
had
a
Reserve
of
no
less
than
forty
of
the
fairest
Ladies
for
his
own
use
,
to
satiate
his
inordinate
Lust
.
Martin
the
4th
kept
his
Predecessor's
Harlot
,
(
Nicholas
3.
)
and
was
so
tender
of
her
,
that
he
caused
all
deformed
Pictures
to
be
remov'd
out
of
his
Palace
,
for
fear
she
should
be
delivered
of
a
monstrous
ugly
Child
.
Surely
if
his
Holiness
was
so
kind
to
a
Whore
he
would
be
very
fond
of
a
Wife
.
Of
this
Pope's
Simony
,
which
he
was
compelled
to
for
the
maintaining
his
own
and
his
Nephew's
Incests
and
lustful
Extravagancies
,
there
is
extant
this
Distich
:
Vendit
Alexander
Claves
,
Altaria
,
Christum
;
Vendere
jure
potest
,
emerat
ille
prius
.
Pope
Alexander
sells
Christ
,
Altars
,
Keys
,
And
well
he
might
;
for
first
he
bought
all
these
.
This
Alexander
the
Sixth
dispenced
with
Peter
Mendoza
,
Bishop
of
Valencia
,
to
use
his
Bastard
Son
,
the
Marquess
of
Zannet
,
as
his
Ganymede
or
Sodomitical
Boy
:
insomuch
that
Charles
the
Eighth
being
at
Rome
,
during
his
Pontificate
,
he
was
so
hated
by
,
and
odious
to
all
Men
,
that
the
whole
Conclave
of
Cardinals
(
two
only
excepted
)
did
entreat
him
to
vindicate
the
Holy
Church
from
the
Violence
and
Tyranny
of
the
Pope
,
who
was
rather
a
Successor
of
Judas
than
St.
Peter
,
and
a
greater
Observer
of
the
Alcoran
than
the
Gospel
.
A
fine
Character
of
a
Pope
from
his
own
Cardinals
!
A
German
Prince
sent
an
Ambassador
to
the
Pope
,
who
after
he
was
dispatch'd
,
taking
his
leave
of
his
Holiness
,
he
in
Latin
said
to
him
,
Tell
our
beloved
Son
,
&c.
which
put
the
honest
German
into
such
a
Chafe
,
that
he
had
almost
affronted
the
Pope
with
the
Lye
;
withal
rounding
him
in
the
Ear
,
that
his
Master
was
no
Son
of
a
Priest
(
meaning
no
Bastard
.
)
See
the
Chastity
of
these
Holy
ones
when
their
Incontinency
and
Lasciviousness
is
grown
proverbial
.
Joan
,
Queen
of
Naples
,
hang'd
her
first
Husband
,
and
before
he
was
cold
married
the
Prince
of
Tarentum
,
one
of
the
handsomest
Men
in
the
Universe
;
she
kept
her self
in
a
whole
Skin
by
the
Schism
that
then
hapned
between
Pope
Urban
and
Clement
,
and
so
escaped
unpunished
,
(
tho
at
last
she
was
executed
)
who
bestow'd
Avignon
in
France
〈◇〉
Pope
Urban
and
his
Successors
,
under
pretence
of
Sale
.
This
is
only
to
let
you
know
that
his
Holiness
has
not
so
sickly
and
squeamish
a
Conscience
but
he
can
dispense
with
a
fair
,
large
Gift
from
a
foul
,
filthy
hand
:
which
contributes
much
to
the
Justification
of
the
pretended
Chastity
of
Rome
,
since
she
hath
been
so
great
a
Gainer
by
Strumpets
and
Harlots
,
Stews
and
Brothels
,
a
Tribute
far
worse
and
baser
than
that
of
Vespasian
,
ex
lotio
:
therefore
well
might
honest
Mantuan
say
,
I
pudor
in
villas
,
tota
est
jam
Roma
Lupanar
.
At
wanton
Rome
there
is
no
room
we
know
For
Shame-fac'dness
,
to
Hamlets
let
her
go
.
And
Naso
,
once
a
Roman
,
to
the
shame
of
such
Popes
,
could
sing
,
Turpe

What
a
miserable
thing
is
it
that
St.
Peter
and
St.
Paul
should
be
maintain'd
by
those
who
live
by
the
Sweat
of
their
Bodies
.
In
the
time
of
Paul
the
Third
,
he
had
upon
his
Roll
or
Register
45000
Courtisans
(
nay
,
Naples
the
Voluptuous
has
20000
registred
in
the
Office
of
Savelli
,
allow'd
of
.
)
This
Word
Courtisan
came
originally
from
the
Court
of
Rome
(
the
modestest
Synonomon
of
a
Whore
)
viz.
from
those
Religiosa's
or
holy
Dames
who
conversed
with
his
Holiness
both
at
Bed
and
Board
.
Pope
Gregory
the
Thirteenth
was
a
Man
of
the
same
Constitution
as
the
rest
of
that
sanctified
Tribe
,
and
was
subject
to
Failings
as
well
as
Persons
of
an
inferiour
degree
;
witness
his
Bastard
,
James
Buoncourpagno
,
a
good
Catholick
no
doubt
,
and
according
to
the
Proverb
,
he
was
very
fortunate
;
for
his
Holy
Father
in
a
double
Sense
,
both
Natural
and
Spiritual
,
gave
him
Ireland
,
and
created
him
Marquess
of
Lemster

and
sent

Obedience
.
Pope
Paul
the
Third
,
encouraged
by
the
Example
of
Alexander
the
Sixth
,
committed
Incest
with
Constantia
his
own
Daughter
;
but
finding
that
he
could
not
enjoy
her
as
formerly
,
being
married
to
the
Duke
of
Sforza
,
he
poison'd
her
;
and
then
courted
his
Sister
,
and
grew
very
fond
;
but
he
soon
dispatch'd
her
also
the
same
way
,
because
she
was
not
so
much
delighted
with
his
Embraces
as
with
others
.

In
Rome

the
sacred
Seat
of
his

,
the
Courtizans
are
many
,
who
are
tolerated
and
publickly
allow'd
,
for
which
they
pay
a
smart
and
certain
Annual
Tribute
;
and
every
common
Whore
is
oblig'd
to
have
her
Name
registred
in
the
Vice-Gerents
Office
,
an
Officer
belonging
to
the
Vicario
,
the
Pope's
Vicar
General
;
so
that
they
enjoy
an
absolute
liberty
to
be
licentious
throughout
the
Year
,
except
at
the
times
called
Vacanze
,
or
Vacation-time
,
which
happens
to
be
about
Christmas
and
Easter
;
for
then
the
Sbirri
,
or
Bailiffs
,
may
make
a
strict
Search
in
all
their
Houses
,
and
if
they
find
any
there
,
may
commit
them
to

;
but
by
paying
a
Sum
of
Money
,
they
send
to
the
Office
,
and
so
prevent
their
being
molested
by
such
kind
of
Persons
.
Nay
,
in
those
infamous
Houses
those
Harlots
boldly
and
impudently
commit
their
Crimes
by
the
Pope's
Approbation
and
Protection
.
When
Alexander
the
Seventh
sate
in
the
Pontifical
Chair
,
there
was
some
discourse
of
suppressing
these
Brothel
Houses
,
but
it
was
but
Talk
;
yet
it
occasion'd
this
impious

horrid

This
Rome
is
that
famous
holy
City
,
and
the
City
of

but
the
honest
Carmelite
Mantuan

you
a

contrary
Tale
,
when
he
saith
,

Omnia

All

Or
thus

You

shun

,
for
now
All

Pope
Sixtus

his
Strumpet
Tiresia
,
built
Stews
at
Rome
,
which
yielded
him
an
annual
Income

and
gave
a
Dispensation

to

a

not

A

This
sin
the
Italians
say
is
(
if
in
any
)
excusable
in
them
,
because
they
live
near
his
Holiness
,
who
doth
not
only
give
Licence
by
permission
,
but
a
President
by
his
own
Example
;
this
is
a
common
Adage
among
them
.
We
cannot
I
think
bring
up
the
rear
of
these
Chaste
ones
with
any
other
Person
,
fitter
or
more
deserving
,
than
Madam
Gilberta
,
commonly
called
Pope
Joan
,
a
strapping
Lass
indeed
.
She
was
once
a
Maid
of
Mentz
in
Germany
,
sans
doubt
,
and
after
Miss
to
a
Monk
of
Fulda
,
with
whom
she
ran
away
to
Athens
in
Man's
Apparel
,
and
there
did
cohabit
with
him
,
till
he
unkindly
forsook
her
,
and
went
into
the
other
World
;
all
which
time
that
she
did
reside
there
with
him
,
she
personated
the
Man
so
lively
,
and
wore
the
Breeches
so
well
and
handsomly
,
as
some
Viragoes
will
do
,
that
she
bid
defiance
to
all
Discovery
of
her
so
cunningly
counterfeited
Sex
.
Well
,
what
then
?
Why
having
lost
her
beloved
Gallant
she
trips
away
to
Rome
,
and
had
made
so
great
a
Progress
in
all
the
Liberal
Arts
and
Sciences
,
that
she
was
thought
worthy
,
it
seems
,
of
a
Cardinal's
Cap
,
and
at
last
of
the
Triple
Crown
,
and
for
two
years
and
a
half
behav'd
her self
very
notably
,
and
wanted
no
Qualification
becoming
the
Papal
Chair
,

that
of
her
Sex
.
Yet
see
how
Murder
will

she
by

way

vicious
Life

an
infamous

unlucky
Accident
hapned
there
was
erected
the
Colonna
infame
,
or
infamous
Pillar
,
(
as
they
ever
after
called
it
)
in
memory
of
this
Accident
,
to
the
end
it
might
the
better
be
transmitted
to
Posterity
;
and
out
of
a
zealous
Abhorrence
of
so
black
a
Deed
,
her
Successors
baulk
that
way
in
their
usual
Processions
,
and
steer
another
course
to
this
very
day
.
But
this
is
not
all
;
to
prevent
such
Female
Gossips
for
the
future
from
putting
the
like
Tricks
upon
the
Conclave
of
Cardinals
,
they
prudently
found
out
the
Porphyry
Chair
,
an
infallible
Invention
to
avoid
such
gross
Mistakes
,
to
the
Prejudice
of
Infallibility
,
and
the
Shame
and
Scandal
of
the
Roman
Religion
.
Thus
far
Platina
in
his
Life
of
that
Papess
,
who
was
a
great
Friend
to
Popes
,
wrote
the
Lives
of
Popes
down
to
his
time
,
was
Secretary
to
a
Pope
,
and
dedicated
his
Book
to
a
Pope
;
and
indeed
the
Story
were
almost
incredible
had
he
not
the
Suffrage
of
fifty
more
of
their
own
Authors
to
justifie
his
Writing
upon
this
Subject
,
tho
Card
.
Baronius
leaves
her
out
;
of
whom
we
may
truly
say
,
as
Scaliger
did
,
Facit
Annales
non
scribit
,
He
makes
Chronicles
,
but
writes
them
not
.
But
here
will
arise
possibly
a
Question
,
How
comes
it
to
pass
that
this
Porphyry
Chair
is
now
laid
aside
?
That
's
a
poignant
one
,
upon
my
Word
:
but
the
Catholicks
may
be
satisfied
,
if
they
please
,
with
the
Answer
of
John
Pontanus
in
an
Epigram
of
his
,
translated
by
Mr.
Stevens
into
French
,
which
runs
thus
:
Nul
ne
pouvoit
jouir
des
saintes
Clefs
de
Rome
,
Sans
monstrer
q'uil
avoit
les
marques
de
vray
homme
,
D'ou
vient
donc
a
present
ceste
preuve
est
cessée
Et
qu'on
n'a
plus
besoing
de
la
Chaire
persée
?
Cest
pource
que
ceux
la
qui
ores
les
Clefs
ont
,
Par
les
Enfans
qu'ils
font
monstrent
bien
ce
qu'ils
sont
.
None
had
the
Keys
of
Rome
in
times
of
yore
,
But
such
as
shew'd
true
marks
of
Man
before
.
How
comes
it
then
that
this
Proof's
now
laid
by
,
And
that
the
Porphyry
stool
is
useless
?
Why
?
Because
those
now
,
who
sit
i
th
Papa●
Chair
,
By
the
base
Brats
they
get
show
what
they
are
.
But
I
blush
to
think
that
I
have
offended
the
chaste
ears
of
the
Protestant
Reader
by
harping
so
long
upon
such
loose
Notes
,
and
made
his
Cheeks
glow
at
the
rehearsal
of
such
immodest
actions
,
therefore
I
'll
leave
off
this
filthy
discourse
,
and
see
if
I
can
hit
upon
a
more
cleanly
Argument
,
not
troubling
you
with
Mathilda
,
Gregory
7th's
Miss
,
nor
with
Sergius
the
third's
Morezia
,
nor
a
Donna
Olympia
,
fresh
in
the
memory
of
most
men
of
this
Age
.
As
for
the
Popes
Humility
,
Poverty
,
Patience
,
Clemency
and
Blood-guiltiness
,
&c.
take
these
few
Examples
for
instance
.
The
Proud
and
Magisterial
name
of
Universal
Bishop
,
Rome
was
at
first
a
mere
Stranger
to
;
and
Gregory
the
Great
,
a
Learned
,
Good
man
,
declar'd
it
to
be
the
name
of
Antichrist
,
a
name
of
Blasphemy
,
and
to
admit
it
was
to
shipwrack
the
Faith
.

See
here
one
Pope
Proclaiming
another
Antichrist
.
But
bold
Boniface
the
third
,
his
Successor
,
received
the
Title
of
Universal
Bishop
from
Phocas
,
who
murthered
the
Emperour
Mauritius
and
all
his
Family
,
and
usurped
the
Dominion
of
Constantinople
.
The
blessed
Apostle
St.
James
,
called
by
the
Antients
the
Bishop
of
the
Apostles
,
Clem

Epist.

who
was
a
Prince
of
the
Blood
Royal
,
and
Cousin
German
to
our
Saviour
,
was
President
in
the
first
Council
;
though
he
gave
his
opinion
last
,
yet
he
took
upon
him
no
Superiority
above
others
,
and
within
the
bounds
of
such
Christian
modesty
did
the
Holy
Prelates
of
Christendom
contain
themselves
,
till
the
year
607.
The
Venetians
were
Excommunicated
by
Pope
Clement
the
fifth
for
attempting
to
besiege
Ferrara
,
which
is
Tributary
to
the
See
of
Rome
,
whereupon
Francis
Dandalo
,
afterwards
Grand
Dogue
of
Venice
,
went
to
France
,
where
the
Pope
then
had
his
Seat
;
submissively
to
beg
his
Pardon
for
that
imaginary
Offence
;
when
he
arriv'd
there
he
spent
much
time
'
ere
he
could
be
admitted
,
but
at
last
he
was
brought
into
his
presence
with
an●
Iron
Chain
or
Dog's
collar
about
his
Neck
,
crawling
on
all
four
the
length
of
the
great
Hall
,
Sabellicus
in
fine
9
Aeneid
.
l.

and
afterwards
lay
among
the
Dogs
under
his
Table
,
till
his
wrath
was
appeas'd
;
and
then
he
obtain'd
a
Pardon
,
for
which
Act
he
was
ever
after
called
Dog
by
his
own
Countrymen
.
Surely
he
very
undeservedly
had
the
Name
of
Clement
,
who
could
be
so
inhumane
and
haughty
to
an
ancient
Person
,
and
treat
him
so
currishly
,
that
prostrated
himself
at
his
Feet
with
so
much
slavish
submission
.
This
Pope
walking
through
the
City
Bogenci
upon
the
River
Loire
in
great
State
,
had
for
his
Attendants
or
Servitors
,
the
Kings
of
England
and
France
,
one
upon
his
right
,
the
other
on
his
left
hand
,
and
one
leading
his
Horse
by
the
Bridle
.
Alexander
the
Third
,
after
he
obtain'd
the
Popedom
,
had
many
dangerous
Conflicts
with
the
Emperour
Frederick
Barbarossa
,
and
was
so
often
worsted
by
him
,
that
he
was
forced
to
fly
to
Venice
,
and
there
live
for
some
time
incognito
,
in
the
habit
of
a
Cook
(
a
prety
greazy
Disguise
for
a
Pope
;
see
what
necessity
will
do
;
who
would
have
thought
so
proud
a
Bishop
should
stoop
to
so
base
a
Condescention
)
but
at
last
he
was
known
,
and
honourably
embraced
by
the
Venetians
;
and
this
coming
to
the
Emperours
Ear
,
he
was
highly
offended
at
them
for
entertaining
his
Enemy
,
insomuch
that
he
sent
his
Son
with
a
powerful
Army
,
and
great
Navy
,
to
take
the
Pope
by
force
and
violence
;
but
the
young
Prince
had
the
ill
fate
in
that
Engagement
to
be
taken
Prisoner
by
the
Venetians
,
nor
could
his
freedom
be
possibly
procur'd
,
unless
Frederick
would
come
in
his
own
Person
to
Venice
,
and
endeavour
to
be
reconcil'd
to
the
Pope
;
which
the
Emperour
,
for
his
Son's
sake
,
condescended
to
;
went
to
Venice
,
and
procur'd
it
upon
these
unreasonable
and
Unchristian
conditions
.
That
he
should
restore
the
City
of
Rome
,
and
all
the
Royalties
thereof
,
and
undergo
such
further
Penance
as
the
Pope
should
injoyn
.
This
being
submitted
to
,
the
Emperour
came
to
the
Door
of
St.
Mark's
Church
,
the
People
being
Spectators
,
where
the
proud
Pope
commanded
him
very
imperiously
to
ly
prostrate
on
the
Ground
,
and
to
ask
his
Pardon
and
Forgiveness
;
and
then
he
gently
treading
upon
his
Neck
,
prophanely
wrested
the
13
verse
of
the
91
Psalm
,
to
his
own
purpose
,
saying
;
Thou
shalt
walk
upon
the
Aspe●
and
Basilisk
,
and
shalt
tread
upon
the
Lion
and
Dragon
;
And
when
the
Emperour
said
unto
him
Non
tibi
sed
Petro●
cujus
Successor
es
,
pareo
;
the
Pope
replied
,
Et
mihi
&
Petro
,
proudly
placing
himself
before
the
blessed
Apostle
,
whose
immediate
Successor
he
falsly
pretends
to
be
.
See
the
unexampled
humility
of
this
Servus
Servorum
Dei
.
Platina
,
in
the
Life
of
Gregory
the
Seventh
,
tells
you
,
that
the
Emperour
Henry
the
Fourth
of
France
,
commonly
stiled
the
Great
,
was
Excommunicated
by
the
Pope
,
and
that
for
a
Trifle
too
.
The
Emperour
being
inform'd
of
this
his
rigorous
proceedings
,
came
to
Canosse
(
where
his
Holiness
was
then
dallying
with
his
wanton
Mathilda
)
and
divesting
himself
of
his
Imperial
Robes
(
fine
work
indeed
that
the
Scepter
must
bow
to
the
Crosier
)
went
bare-foot
and
barehead
,
in
the
depth
of
a
hard
Winter
,
to
the
City
Gates
,
and
there
humbly
crav'd
Admittance
;
but
his
Entry
was
denied
,
and
he
,
like
an
obedient
Son
of
that
See
,
bore
it
with
unimaginable
and
uncommon
Patience
,
remaining
three
dayes
complete
in
the
Suburbs
fasting
,
continually
beging
Absolution
,
which
at
length
by
the
earnest
Intercession
,
and
repeated
Request
of
Mathilda
,
the
Popes
Minion
,
or
St.
Peters
Daughter
as
they
call'd
her
,
the
Earl
of
Savoy
,
and
the
Abbot
of
Cluniac
,
was
obtain'd
.
A
brave
Jaunt
indeed
for
a
Puissant
Potentate
,
at
such
an
Unseasonable
time
of
the
Year
,
and
very
kind
usage
he
receiv'd
for
his
pains
,
but
this
must
be
done
or
he
is
undone
,
and
forfeits
all
his
Regalia
,
for
disobliging
a
proud
,
peevish
Pope
.
Where
is
there
ever
a
Gueux
of
you
all
that
has
so
much
courage
to
maintain
your
Protestant
Privileges
and
Episcopal
Dignity
?
But
one
Swallow
makes
no
Summer
;
all
Frenchmen
are
not
so
soft
Spirited
.
Well
fare
Philip
the
Fourth
,
surnamed
Philip
Le
Bel
,
who
in
the
year
1320
had
to
do
with
a
Monster
of
a
Man
,
Boniface
the
eighth
,
when
France
shook
off
the
Supremacy
of
the
Pope
in
Temporalibus
.
This
Prelate
wrote
to
the
King
in
these
and
such
like
arrogant
Terms
:
We
will
that
thou
know
,
Annales
Nic
:
Giles
.
thou
art
our
Subject
in
Spirituals
,
as
well
as
Temporals
.
To
which
the
King
return'd
this
Princely
answer
,
Sciat

,
&c.
Q●
ta
tresgrande

Let
your
Sottishness
and
gre●
Temerity
know
,
that
in
Temporals
w●
have
none
but
God
for
Superior
&c.
And
not
being
satisfied
with
this
,
h●
commanded
a
Lord
of
Languedoc
,
a●
Albigeois
,
of
the
House
of
Nogaret
,
to
Seize
on
the
Pope
,
which
he
did
,
and
withal
gave
him
such
a
Blow
on
the
Ear
with
a
Gantlet
that
fell'd
him
,
for
saying
his
Father
was
Burnt
for
an
Heretick
,
and
afterwards
cast
him
into
Prison
,
where
he
died
of
a
Phrenzie
,
gnawing
his
own
hands
out
of
Rage
and
Fury
,
and
left
this
worthy
Elogium
or
Epitaph
behind
him
.

and

was

to
knock
down
four
at
a
Blow
,
the
Campanian
,
the
Cardinal
,
Boniface
the
Eighth
and
the
Pope
;
This
Pope
was
so
shameless
as
to
boast
(
having
denied
three
times
to
confer
the
Title
of
Emperour
of
Germany
upon
the
Duke
of
Austria
)
that
he
himself
was
Lord
and
Emperour
of
the
whole
World
.
Nor
did
Lewis
the
Twelfth
stand
in
awe
of
the
Pope
,
whose
Motto
was
,
Perdam
Babylonis

,
I
will
destroy
the
name
of
Babylon
.
But
this
usurped
power
of
the
See
of
Rome
is
but
Novel
,
and
Modern
,
for
instead
of
their
deposing
Kings
,
they
deposed
Popes
;
nay
Constantius

,
deposed

The
French
Kings
have
not
only
outed
but
created
many
Popes
formerly
.
Philip
the
Fair
displac'd
Boniface
the
Eighth
,
who
translated
the
See
to
Avignon
,
where
it
continued
74
years
,
and
by
the
King's
appointment
Six
Popes
succeeded
one
another
in
that
place
.
And
this
right
of
dethroning
Popes
is
treated
of
by
a
Chanellor
of
the
Academy
at
Paris
,
Gerson
by
name
,
one
of
the
most
learned
Sorbonists
,
in
his
Treatise
de
Auferibilitate
Papae
.
So
that
you
see
they
were
farr
from
being
Lords
in
Spiritual
and
Temporal
things
originally
,
what
ever
they
pretend
to
the
contrary
:
and
the
saying
of
Pope
Nicholas
in
his
Eighth
Epistle
makes
it
out
,
that
they
which
are
both
Kings
and
Priests
under
the
Gospel
,
are
Members
of
the
Devil
.
Thus
one
Pope
contradicts
another
;
yet
all
infallible
.
Nay
two
Popes
more
Pelagius
and
Gregory
,
look'd
upon
the
Title
of
Universal
Bishop
as
nomen
Blasphemiae
.
But
the
gravest
Sages
and
greatest
Doctors
of
them
all
must
needs
confess
,
that
the
Largest
and
Fattest
of
the
Popes
Possessions
,
are
but
the
Largesse
of
Kings
,
and
therfore
they
have
little
reason
to
carry
themselves
so
Loftily
and
Exalt
themselves
above
all
,
which
intollerable
Insolence
makes
them
guilty
of
the
Blackest
of
Crimes
,
Ingratitude
,
if
they
are
unthankful

Nor
was
Henry
the
Fifth
terrified
by
Pope
Paschal
the
Second
,
who
wrought
upon
his
own
Son
to
rebell
against
his
Father
,
(
but
what
may
not
Infallibility
countenance
and
approve
)
insomuch
that
he
surprised
his
Father
with
great
Forces
,
divested
him
of
his
Regalia
,
together
with
the
Empire
;
insomuch
that
the
Aged
Potentate
died
with
Grief
:
and
this
Paschal
was
so
inhumane
as
to
deny
him
Inhumation
,
not
permitting
him
to
have
Christian
Burial
for
five
Years
after
his
Death
.
But
Henry
the
Fifth
,
the
new
Emperour
,
went
immediately
after
this
into
Italy
to
the
Pope
,
who
expected
to
be
gratified
for
his
pious
assisting
the
Son
to
murder
the
Father
,
and
therefore
demanded
the
Right
of
Investiture
;
which
so
incensed
the
Emperour
,
that
he
took
him
by
the
Shoulders
,
and
boldly
shook
his
Holiness
into
a
panick
Fear
;
nor
was
that
all
,
for
he
was
committed
close
Prisoner
,
never
to
enjoy
his
Freedom
unless
he
renounced
his
unlawful
Claim
to
Investitures
and
Collations
of
Benefices
.
I
could
instance
in
many
more
;
but
let
these
satisfie
the
Reader
,
that
Princes
heretofore
did
under-value
the
Pope
and
his
Excommunications
,
or
else
the
very
Citizens
of
Rome
would
never
have
presum'd
to
expell
Pope
Gregory
the
Ninth
that
City
;
for
indeed
they
never
took
any
great
notice
of
the
Pope's
Excommunication
.
But
now
to
our
intended
Discourse
.
Boniface
the
First
began
first
of
all
to
assume
the
Dominion
of
the
African
Churches
;
but
he
was
soon
curb'd
in
his
Career
by
the
sixth
African
Council
,
where
the
great
Pillar
of
the
Western
Church
was
present
.
St.
Austin
.
Nay
,
Charles
the
Fifth
,
being
shrewdly
menaced
by
Paul
the
Third
,
if
he
would
not
surrender
Placentia
to
him
after
the
Death
of
Peter
Lewis
;
gave
his
Holiness
to
understand
,
by
an
Ambassador
,
that
if
he
would
needs
be
thund'ring
with
his
Excommunications
,
he
would
both
thunder
and
lighten
with
his
Artillery
in
Answer
to
him
.
Do
but
observe
the
Humility
of
this
Man
of
God
at
his
Election
to
the
Papacy
.
A
Fortnights
time
is
appointed
for
Preparations
,
in
order
to
the
carrying
of
him
with
great
Pomp
and
Magnificence
,
being
seated
in
a
Chair
of
State
,
is
borne
on
Mens
Shoulders
to
St.
Peter's
Church
to
possess
himself
of
the
Popedom
;
and
if
an
Emperour
happen
to
be
at
the
Solemnity
,
it
is
the
greatest
Honour
he
is
capable
of
,
to
be
one
of
the
Bearers
of
that
sanctified
Burthen
or
Lump
of
Holiness
:
and
a
Fortnight
after
,
or
thereabout
,
he
rides
in
a
Cavalcata
to
the
Church
of
St.
John
of
Lateran
to
the
same
Intent
and
Purpose
.
Platina
tells
you
in
the
Life
of
Clement
the
Fifth
,
that
Philip
King
of
France
,
Charles
,
the
Monsieur
,
his
Brother
,
and
John
Duke
of
Britain
,
with
many
other
Persons
of
the
highest
Quality
,
were
present
at
his
Inauguration
,
who
lost
their
Lives
,
many
of
them
being
overwhelmed
with
the
fall
of
a
Wall
,
and
buried
in
the
Ruins
,
King
Philip
being
lamed
,
and
his
Holiness
himself
with
an
unlucky
lucky
Blow
,
was
dismounted
from
his
Bucephalus
,
and
lost
a
Rubie
out
of
his
Miter
that
cost
6000
Ducats
,
(
how
many
poor
Protestants
are
worth
less
that
deserve
much
more
)
which
I
do
not
find
by
the
Relator
that
it
was
ever
heard
of
afterwards
.
Now
I
leave
it
to
the
nice
Casuists
of
their
Church
,
to
decide
,
whether
this
was
not
a
piece
of
grand
Sacriledge
in
the
Finder
,
to
imbezel
such
Goods
as
were
consecrated
to
sacred
Uses
,
and
convert
them
to
his
own
.
Frederick
the
Emperour
waited
upon
Pope
Adrian
the
Fourth
,
and
like
an
Imperial
Groom
,
quietly
held
the
Stirrop
whilst
he
came
off
of
his
Horse
;
and
by
all
good
Signs
and
Tokens
he
received
a
proud
taunting
Check
for
his
Humility
,
in
holding
the
left
instead
of
the
right
Stirtop
;
which
moved
him
so
much
,
that
he
said
,
I
was
never
brought
up
to
this
Trade
,
and
thou
art
the
first
upon
whom
I
ever
attended
so
servilely
;
but
for
all
this
he
was
compell'd
,
the
day
following
,
to
hold
the
right
.
O
brave
Country-man
!
thou
did'st
like
a
bold
Britain
,
a
true
Nicholas
Break-spear
(
for
that
was
his
Name
before
his
Papification
)
that
makes
no
distinction
of
Persons
;
and
if
an
Emperour
be
his
Groom
he
'll
make
him
know
his
Duty
;
and
Reason
good
too
,
if
such
Potentates
will
submit
to
such
Servility
merely
to
gratifie
the
ambitious
Humour
of
a
proud
Prelate
.
When
Celestine
the
Third
was
to
Crown
Hen
.
6th
,
and
his
Empress
Constance
,
he
did
it
not
with
his
hands
but
feet
;
setting
it
on
,
and
proudly
spurning
it
off
again
,
with
these
words
in
his
mouth
,
Per
me
Reges
regnant
.
It
is
in
my
sole
Power
to
make
and
unmake
Kings
and
Emperours
.
The
State
of
Rome
extends
three
hundred
miles
in
length
,
and
two
hundred
in
breadth
;
and
the
Pope
is
able
upon
occasion
to
put
50000
men
in
the
Field
well
equip'd
,
besides
his
Naval
strength
in
Gallies
,
which
is
very
great
:
Nor
is
he
destitute
of
Money
,
for
as
Sixtus
Quartus
usually
said
,
So
long
as
the
Pope
can
finger
a
Pen
,
he
can
want
no
Pence
.
Besides
,
the
sale
of
Offices
is
very
gainful
;
and
some
reckon
that
a
Pope
hath
6000
l.
a
day
,
besides
casual
Incomes
,
which
are
as
advantageous
as
numerous
.
The
Legate
à
Latere
,
when
he
goes
abroad
upon
publick
Affairs
,
hath
the
allowance
of
twenty
five
pound
Sterling
per
diem
.
Gregory
the
fifteenth
,
who
sate
in
the
Chair
but
two
years
wanting
a
Month
,
left
his
Family
250000
Crowns
per
Ann.
i.e.
62500
l.
Alexander
the
6th
scrap'd
up
such
vast
Sums
of
Money
by
the
sale
of
Indulgences
,
that
his
Son
Caesar
Borgia
lost
one
night
at
Dice
100000
Crowns
,
saying
,
Germanorum
tantum
haec
peccata
sunt
.
Sixtus
the
5th
,
of
a
poor
Family
,
Peretti
by
name
,
tho
he
was
Pope
but
a
lustre
of
years
,
erected
the
Palace
di
San
Giovanno
Laterano
,
fortified
Civita
Vecchia
,
began
to
build
Monte
Cavallo
,
founded
many
Colleges
,
and
did
as
many
sumptuous
and
chargeable
Works
as
stood
him
in
fifteen
millions
of
Crowns
,
that
is
,
four
millions
of
English
pounds
Sterling
,
and
yet
left
five
millions
of
Crowns
behind
him
at
his
decease
.
Gregory
the
15th
,
who
reigned
but
two
years
wanting
a
Month
,
yet
made
a
poor
shift
to
leave
his
Family
250000
Crowns
a
year
.
If
St.
Peter
had
been
so
wealthy
,
he
would
not
have
followed
his
poor
Trade
,
assure
your self
;
indeed
his
Successors
you
see
have
sailed
in
his
Ship
for
Traffick
with
such
fortune
and
success
,
that
they
cannot
say
as
he
did
,
without
manifest
falshood
,
Silver
and
Gold
have
I
none
;
for
they
have
scarce
any
thing
else
.
Paul
the
5th
left
1000
Crowns
a
day
to
his
Nephew
,
the
Prince
of
Salmona
,
besides
what
he
bestowed
on
other
Relations
.
So
much
of
the
Pope's
Humility
and
Lowliness
;
now
for
a
touch
at
his
Clemency
,
Pity
,
and
Mercy
.
And
here
we
must
make
bold
with
the
Papalines
,
and
beg
their
pardon
,
if
we
prove
and
reprove
the
horrid
Actions
of
some
Silvesters
,
Johns
,
Bonifaces
,
Julii
,
Gregories
,
Sexti
and
Alexanders
,
who
have
either
kindled
a
fire
in
the
very
Bowels
of
Christendom
,
or
made
her
swim
in
innocent
blood
.
Pope
Hildebrand
,
Bellarmine's
Saint
,
poisoned
seven
or
eight
Popes
to
make
way
for
his
obtaining
the
Papal
Chair
,
and
when
he
enjoy'd
it
,
committed
all
Barbarisms
imaginable
,
and
did
hang
up
men
at
pleasure
,
with
a
stat
pro
ratione
Voluntas
;
My
Will
is
my
Law
.
In
the
Life
of
Honorius
the
third
,
it
is
reported
,
Anno
1223.
that
one
—
Bishop
of
Cathness
in
Scotland
,
was
burnt
in
his
Kitchin
by
the
People
of
his
own
Diocese
,
because
he
excommunicated
some
of
them
for
Non-payment
of
Tythes
;
which
Story
reaching
the
Pope's
ear
,
did
so
distract
and
discompose
his
Holiness
,
that
he
could
not
be
at
rest
till
he
had
hang'd
four
hundred
of
them
,
and
castrated
all
their
Children
,
and
all
this
insufferable
Cruelty
upon
Innocents
too
,
to
revenge
the
Death
of
one
single
Person
.
Pope
Urban
the
Fourth
instead
of
Urbanus
was
called
Turbanus
,
because
he
was
so
great
a
Bouteseu
,
that
he
set
all
Christendom
in
a
Combustion
.
Pope
Urban
the
Sixth
did
,
out
of
a
revengeful
Spirit
,
cause
five
Cardinals
to
be
cast
into
the
River
and
drown'd
.
It
was
the
usual
and
pitiful
Expression
of
Sixtus
Quintus
,
or
Sise
Cinque
,
occasion'd
by
the
Death
of
a
Noble
,
renowned
Princess
;
Che
gusto
di
tagliar
teste
corronate
!
Oh
what
a
Pleasure
is
it
to
take
off
crowned
Heads
!
Well
said
,
Reverend
Head
of
the
Church
!
We
will
take
thy
bare
Word
for
cutting
of
Throats
without
Security
;
't
is
honestly
done
to
speak
plainly
without
mental
Reservation
;
for
to
mince
the
matter
were
a
piece
of
Cowardize
not
to
be
brook'd
in
the
triumphant
Chieftain
of
the
Church
Militant
.
Clement
the
Seventh
was
convicted
of
notorious
Crimes
;
among
the
rest
,
to
shew
his
insatiable
Thirst
after
Blood
,
he
sewed
five
Cardinals
in
Sacks
(
not
the
five
Cardinal
Vertues
I
'll
warrant
you
)
and
threw
them
into
the
Sea
;
beheaded
three
more
,
and
after
burn'd
their
Bodies
to
Ashes
,
which
he
urn'd
up
in
Chests
,
and
placed
Cardinals
Hats
upon
them
,
carrying
them
about
with
him
where
ever
he
went
,
to
give
all
People
to
understand
what
Reliques
were
contained
in
them
.
And
if
he
were
so
kind
to
those
of
his
own
Religion
,
what
mercy
could
others
expect
from
him
that
were
of
a
contrary
Perswasion
?
Sergius
,
who
stood
Candidate
for
the
Pontificate
with
Formosus
,
prevail'd
so
far
as
to
obtain
it
;
and
when
he
afterwards
came
to
be
Bishop
of
that
See
,
in
revenge
of
his
former
repulse
,
compell'd
the
Romans
,
by
his
threats
and
menaces
,
to
make
the
Ordination
of
Formosus
null
and
void
;
and
made
him
be
taken
out
of
his
Grave
,
(
an
Act
not
to
be
thought
on
without
horror
)
after
he
had
layn
there
a
considerable
time
,
and
then
rob'd
him
with
the
Papal
Vesture
,
plac'd
him
in
St.
Peters
Chair
,
commanding
him
to
be
beheaded
,
and
to
have
three
of
his
Fingers
cut
off
,
and
so
disgracefully
and
barbarously
cast
him
into
the
River
Tyber
,
and
withal
degraded
all
Persons
that
were
ordain'd
by
him
.
During
the
time
of
the
Popes
Innocent
the
third
,
Honorius
,
Celistine
,
Innocent
the
fourth
,
and
Gregory
the
ninth
,
against
Frederick
the
second
,
there
was
a
most
horrid
Slaughter
made
by
them
,
that
lasted
for
thirty
three
Years
.
And
then
it
was
that
Mahomet
,
the
Imposter
,
and
inveterate
Enemy
of
Christianity
,
advanced
himself
in
the
East
;
whom
the
Emperour
intended
to
repulse
;
but
that
the
good
Pope
in
that
juncture
of
time
made
War
against
him
in
Italy
,
which
hast'ned
his
return
,
and
made
him
leave
Greece
to
be
harass'd
by
the
Turk
;
nor
would
the
Pope
admit
of
a
Reconciliation
,
till
11000
Marks
of
Gold
procur'd
it
.
And
with
the
same
zeal
Pope
Innocent
,
and
his
Successors
acted
all
along
,
who
kept
Zemin
Ottoman
,
Bajazet
the
second's
Brother
,
in
custody
,
for
which
he
receiv'd
annually
40000
Ducats
.
Nay
,
when
King
Charles
the
eighth
would
have
made
an
advantage
of
the
Prisoners
in
his
War
against
this
mortal
Foe
of
Christendom
,
Alexander
the
sixth
advertis'd
the
Turk
of
his
intended
Designs
(
like
a
good
Pope
)
and
took
such
care
to
prevent
him
,
that
Zemin
was
poisoned
;
(
an
Action
which
a
Mufti
would
scorn
to
do
unto
a
Christian
)
for
which
goodly
and
godly
Work
,
he
was
rewarded
with
200000
Crowns
,
which
were
paid
him
by
George
of
Antia
,
the
Messenger
of
that
wholsome
advice
.
By
these
foregoing
Works
we
may
guess
at
the
Bloody
temper
of
these
Sanguinary
Popes
;
and
the
best
and
truest
Character
we
can
bestow
on
them
is
that
shameful
by-word
of
young
Tiberius
,
that
the
Pope
is
Lutum
sanguine
maceratum
,
a
mere
Lump
of
Clay
kneaded
together
with
Blood
.
John
the
thirteenth
was
addicted
to
all
manner
of
vices
,
as
Perjury
,
Sacriledge
,
and
Cruelty
,
&c.
He
dismemb'red
several
Cardinals
,
because
they
inclined
to
Otho
the
Great
,
Emperour
,
by
Exoculating
them
,
cutting
off
their
Hands
,
and
Castrating
of
them
.
He
made
Deacons
in
his
Stable
,
among
his
Horses
,
like
a
Brute
as
he
was
;
created
young
Boys
grave
Bishops
,
for
Money
,
out
of
a
lucrative
and
sordidly
covetous
Humour
;
whose
Gehazisme
and
Simony
,
with
some
other
Com-Popes
of
the
Holy
See
,
was
the
occasion
of
that
known
Distich
;
An
Petrus
fuerat
Romae
sub
Judice
lis
est
,
Simonem
Romae
nemo
fuisse
negat
.
Whether
St.
Peter
'
ere
to
Rome
did
go
Is
question'd
,
that
Simon
was
there
,
all
know
.
He
put
out
the
eyes
of
his
Ghostly
Father
Benedict
,
and
committed
many
other
matchless
Cruelties
.
Boniface
the
seventh
was
so
wicked
,
that
Baronius
himself
,
that
Grand
Pillar
of
the
Papal
Cause
,
saith
,
he
deserv'd
the
name
of
Thief
and
Murderer
of
his
Countrey
rather
than
of
a
Pope
.
Hildebrand
sainted
Liberius
the
Arrian
,
exercised
all
sorts
of
Cruelty
,
cut
off
the
Foot
of
a
Widows
Son
,
but
at
last
,
for
the
Impieties
which
he
was
guilty
of
,
(
many
of
which
are
premention'd
)
he
was
depos'd
in
a
Senate
at
Brixia
;
and
as
he
lived
wretchedly
,
so
he
died
miserably
in
Exile
,
and
left
the
Keys
to
Victor
the
third
,
an
Italian
,
thrust
in
by
Matilda
,
who
was
soon
poyson'd
by
his
Subdeacon
in
the
Chalice
;
so
that
you
may
see
Christ's
pretious
Blood
is
no
Antidote
nor
Preservative
in
these
Cases
.
But
this
is
only
Slaughter
by
retail
,
take
a
view
of
their
Massacres
by
wholesail
.
As
to
the
Cruelties
of
Merindol
and
Cabriere
,
they
were
so
barbarous
and
inhumane
,
that
when
the
Advocate
Aubery
,
and
other
Civilians
,
related
them
in
the
High
Court
of
Parliament
at
Paris
,
the
Auditory
stopt
their
Ears
at
the
hideousness
,
and
horror
of
them
:
take
this
single
Example
for
instance
among
many
others
.
John
Menier
,
Lord
of
Oppede
,
Chief
President
of
the
Parliament
of
Provence
,
and
the
French
King's
Lieutenant
General
;
who
,
tho
he
made
choice
of
the
worst
Blood-hounds
of
the
Army
,
could
not
meet
with
Soldiers
cruel
enough
to
execute
his
bloody
Edicts
,
commanding
them
to
rip
up
the
Bowels
of
big-bellied
Women
,
and
to
trample
their
innocent
Babes
under
foot
;
and
this
was
done
before
his
Face
to
his
delight
,
who
was
then
Spectator
and
Author
of
this
Inhumanity
.
This
was
a
piece
of
cruelty
beyond
that
of
Pharaoh
to
the
male
Children

Cruelty

that
some
curious
Persons
perusing
the
Annals
of
other
Nations
,
could
not
meet
with
the
like
in
all
Antiquity
.
The
manner
of
this
hellish
and
bloody
Persecution
,
was
as
you
find
it
in
this
ensuing
Relation
.
Catharina
di
Medici
,
the
Daughter
of
Pope
Clement's
Brother
,
and
Mother
to
Charles
the
ninth
,
did
Govern
the
Kingdom
of
France
during
the
King's
Minority
,
through
the
supine
negligence
of
Anthony
King
of
Navarre
,
with
whom
the
said
Queen's
Mother
was
joyned
in
the
office
of
Protectorship
,
contrary
to
the
Salique
Law
,
which
denies
the
Inheritance
,
or
Administration
of
the
Realm
to
the
Spindle
.
And
she
persuaded
her
Son
to
this
Massacre
.
It
was
very
speciously
carryed
on
,
and
veil'd
with
pretences
of
the
greatest
Amity
imaginable
,
and
that
was
a
Match
between
the
Houses
of
Valois
and
Bourbon
,
the
King
resolving
to
bestow
his
Sister
Margaret
in
marriage
to
Prince
Henry
,
Son
to
Joan
,
Queen
of
Navarre
,
the
former
being
a
Romanist
,
the
latter
of
the
Religion
.
But
before
the
Nuptials
were
Celebrated
,
the
Queen
of
Navarre
(
being
then
at
the
Court
of
Paris
,
providing
all
things
necessary
for
the
wedding-Solemnity
)
was
poison'd
by
Renat
,
an
Italian
,
the
King's
Apothecary
,
with
the
venomous
scent
of
a
pair
of
persum'd
Gloves
;
by
whose
unnatural
death
,
the
Kingdom
descended
to
the
said
Henry
,
precontracted
to
the
King's
Sister
.
Shortly
after
the
Marriage
was
solemniz'd
with
Royal
Pomp
and
State
in
the
chief
Church
at
Paris
,
to
the
great
joy
of
his
Majesty
and
all
good
Men
;
to
this
wedding
the
Grandees
of
the
Protestant
party
were
courteously
invited
,
viz.
Henry
Prince
of
Conde
,
Gasper
de
Coligni
Admiral
of
France
,
and
Cousin
to
the
King
,
Francis
de
Andelot
,
the
Admiral's
Brother
,
Captain
of
the
Infantry
,
and
other
Princes
and
Nobles
.
And
the
Magnificence
,
Jollity
,
and
Caresses
of
Entertainment
were
so
great
as
are
not
to
be
expressed
.
Nothing
is
seen
but
Banquets
,
Balls
,
Masques
,
Stage-Plays
,
and
such
kind
of
Divertisments
,
all
personated
in
the
Night
.
And
this
was
the
reason
the
Admiral
had
a
desire
to
quit
Paris
,
because
he
could
not
have
accesse
to
the
King
,
who
was
altogether
taken
up
and
delighted
with
these
nocturnal
Revels
.
But
those
of
the
reformed
Religion
hearing
of
his
purpose
to
depart
,
with
all
speed
delivered
their
Petitions
to
him
for
redress
of
Grievances
,
begging
of
him
not
to
quit
the
place
till
he
had
presented
them
to
the
King
,
which
he
did
on
the
22th
of
August
1572
,
being
the
fifth
day
after
the
Marriage
.
Returning
home
about
noon
,
a
Harquebuzier
shot
the
Admiral
with
a
brace
of
Bullets
through
both
the
Armes
,
out
of
the
Window
of
a
near
adjoyning
House
;
but
the
Villain
made
his
escape
,
before
they
could
reach
the
House
.
The
King
was
then
at
Tennis
with
the
Duke
,
when
one
of
the
Admiral's
Gentlemen
acquainted
him
with
the
news
;
which
he
no
sooner
heard
,
but
he
,
with
a
seemingly
violent
Transport
of
Passion
,
threw
away
his
Racket
,
and
retir'd
to
his
Castle
:
as
young
as
he
was
he
made
good
use
of
the
Motto
of
Lewis
the
11th
his
Predecessor
,
Qui
nescit
dissimulare
,
nescit
regnare
.
The
King
swears
most
desperately
,
severely
to
revenge
this
injury
;
grants
the
Admiral
a
Guard
at
his
request
,
but
such
a
one
as
would
be
sure
to
ruine
rather
than
secure
him
:
and
Cossin
,
Captain
of
the
Guards
,
was
the
Man
that
commanded
them
;
a
most
Inveterate
and
Irreconcileable
Enemy
to
the
Admiral
and
his
Party
,
and
a
fast
friend
to
the
Guisians
.
The
Admiral
hear's
a
noise
and
ratling
of
Armour
,
tho
altogether
undisturb'd
,
having
the
King's
Royal
word
for
his
security
;
Besides
,
he
reflected
on
the
Oath
for
Peace
publiquely
and
frequently
sworn
by
the
King
,
his
Brethren
and
Mother
,
the
League
with
Queen
Elizabeth
,
the
Articles
with
the
Prince
of
Aurange
to
that
purpose
;
the
King's
faith
ingaged
to
the
German
Princes
;
some
Towns
taken
in
the
low
Countries
by
the
King's
order
;
his
Sisters
marriage
celebrated
but
six
days
before
(
yet
her
Bridal
Robes
were
stain'd
and
defil'd
with
innocent
Blood
)
the
judgment
of
foreign
Princes
,
succeeding
Posterity
;
the
honour
and
Faith
of
a
Prince
,
and
the
violation
of
the
Law
of
Nations
;
all
these
,
one
would
think
,
might
easily
oblige
a
Man
to
beleive
that
it
was
incredible
he
could
ever
assent
to
so
outragious
and
monstrous
a
Fact
.
Well
,
notwithstanding
all
those
Protestations
,
Promises
,
Oaths
,
and
Vows
,
the
Queen-Mother
and
the
King
had
resolv'd
upon
a
general
Massacre
throughout
the
City
of
Paris
,
and
this
bloody
Butchery
was
to
be
executed
on
the
24
of
August
being
Sunday
(
no
matter
for
that
,
the
better
day
the
better
deed
)
and
accordingly
it
was
perform'd
:
for
Cossin
first
brake
in
,
which
the
Admiral
understanding
,
caus'd
those
few
Servants
that
were
with
him
to
lift
him
out
of
his
Bed
,
for
he
could
not
rise
without
help
,
being
so
disabled
by
his
Wounds
,
and
put
on
a
Night-gown
,
desiring
them
to
make
their
escape
,
he
himself
resolving
to
dy
with
an
undaunted
Courage
and
Christian-like
Resolution
.
These
Assassines
soon
gain'd
the
Admiral's
Chamber
,
broke
open
the
doors
,
and
Benvese
,
a
German
Miscreant
,
educated
in
the
House
of
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
with
Cossin
the
Gascoign
,
and
others
,
rush'd
in
with
Swords
,
Targets
,
and
Coats
of
Male
.
Benvese
presenting
his
Sword
to
the
Admiral
,
after
he
had
first
blasphem'd
God
,
ran
him
in
the
breast
,
and
then
cowardly
struck
the
aged
Gentleman
on
the
Head
;
Attin
Shot
him
with
a
Pistol
,
and
Benvese
gave
him
the
third
Wound
on
the
Thigh
,
and
so
he
fell
down
Dead
upon
the
Spot
.
The
Duke
of
Guise
that
staid
in
the
Court
call'd
to
him
and
bid
him
throw
him
out
at
the
window
,
which
he
accordingly
did
.
Then
he
commanded
the
sign
to
be
given
by
ringing
the
Tocksein
,
or
great
Bell
of
the
Palace
,
(
which
is
never
done
but
on
extraordinary
occasions
:
)
the
mark
whereby
the
Murderers
were
distinguished
was
by
a
general
consent
to
be
a
white
linnen
Cloth
tied
about
their
Arm
,
and
a
white
Cross
on
their
Caps
.
Then
an
Italian
Souldier
of
Captain
Lewis
Gonzagua's
,
Duke
of
Nivers
,
cut
off
the
Admiral's
Head
,
and
sent
it
to
Rome
,
preserv'd
with
Spices
,
to
the
Pope
and
Cardinal
of
Lorrain
;
others
cut
off
his
Hands
,
and
some
,
void
of
all
modesty
,
his
Privities
.
Then
the
rude
Rabble
,
for
three
days
together
drew
the
dead
Body
,
thus
mangled
and
weltering
in
Gore
,
thorow
the
Streets
,
and
afterwards
out
of
the
Town
,
to
the
common
Gallows
,
and
there
hang'd
it
up
by
the
Feet
.
In
the
interim
the
rest
brake
into
the
other
Chambers
of
the
House
,
and
slaught'red
all
they
met
with
;
among
others
,
there
were
two
young
Pages
of
honour
,
of
noble
Birth
,
Count
Rochfoucaut
,
and
young
Theligius
,
who
was
Guilty
of
no
other
crime
,
but
being
the
Admiral's
Son
in
Law
.
So
they
ran
about
from
morning
till
night
,
ransacking
400
Houses
,
sparing
neither
Age
,
nor
Sex
,
and
threw
the
Bodies
out
of
the
windows
,
so
that
the
Streets
were
strewed
with
murd'red
Carcasses
,
and
ran
down
with
Blood
.
The
next
day
the
Butchery
was
renewed
,
those
disperate
Villains
stripping
the
dead
Bodies
of
their
Garments
,
and
throwing
them
into
the
River
of
Sein
.
Nor
was
their
Blood-thirstiness
yet
quenched
,
for
Messengers
were
sent
Post
to
all
Cities
,
commanding
them
to
imitate
Paris
,
and
to
kill
all
of
the
Religion
.
Many
Women
with
Child
,
Ladies
and
Gentlewomen
,
Advocates
,
Physicians
,
and
other
eminent
Men
of
Learning
and
Piety
;
among
the
rest
Peter
Ramus
,
and
several
Students
,
were
assassinated
,
without
Plea
,
Sentence
or
Condemnation
.
I
must
not
omit
one
passage
that
deserves
a
marginal
Asterism
in
blood
,
that
is
of
Ma'sson
de
Rivers
,
a
Pastor
,
and
the
first
that
laid
the
foundation
of
the
Protestant
Church
at
Paris
.
Mansorel
,
a
mortal
Enemy
of
the
Religion
,
as
soon
as
the
Slaughter
was
began
in
Paris
,
was
sent
Post
to
Angiers
to
prevent
the
News
of
Massacre
by
others
:
as
soon
as
he
arriv'd
there
,
he
was
conducted
to
Masson's
House
;
in
the
very
Entry
he
meets
with
his
Wife
and
there
saluted
her
very
ceremoniously
(
a
right
Judas
kiss
,
for
he
came
to
betray
her
Master
)
he
demanded
where
her
Husband
was
,
she
replied
in
the
Garden
,
and
being
brought
to
him
they
mutually
and
lovingly
(
as
to
outward
appearance
)
embraced
each
other
,
Mansorel
told
him
in
plain
terms
,
like
a
bloody
Butcher
,
I
am
come
hither
by
the
King's
command
to
kill
you
,
as
you
may
perceive
by
these
Letters
,
producing
his
Dague
ready
charged
.
Masson
answer'd
,
I
have
committed
no
Crime
;
however
,
I
beg
the
favour
of
a
little
time
to
call
upon
God
and
recommend
my self
to
his
merciful
hands
.
Which
short
Oraison
being
soon
concluded
,
he
with
a
meek
Christian
temper
receiv'd
his
Death-Wound
,
being
Shot
through
the
Body
;
but
to
return
to
Paris
.
We
left
the
Admiral's
Body
hang'd
up
;
the
Parisians
went
thither
in
great
Multitudes
,
and
the
Queen
Mother
carried
the
King
along
with
them
and
her
other
two
Sons
to
glut
their
eyes
with
that
barbarous
Spectacle
;
but
the
next
night
the
Body
was
conveyed
away
,
and
interr'd
,
as
't
is
conjectur'd
.
Their
cruelty
not
being
yet
satiated
,
they
bring
some
to
publique
Tryal
,
to
efface
the
blot
of
dishonour
that
might
justly
reflect
upon
the
King
;
and
there
was
a
parcel
of
Judges
call'd
out
for
that
very
purpose
,
who
made
an
Order
that
a
man
of
Hay
(
since
the
Admiral's
Body
could
not
be
found
)
should
be
made
,
and
be
dragg'd
by
the
Boureau
through
the
Streets
,
in
Effigie
,
which
was
accordingly
done
,
his
Arms
and
Ensigns
of
Honour
broken
,
his
Memory
blasted
,
his
Castles
and
Farms
razed
to
the
ground
,
his
Issue
declar'd
Ignoble
,
Infamous
,
and
Intestate
,
and
all
the
Trees
in
his
Woods
to
be
cut
down
,
to
the
height
of
six
Foot
.
Thus
in
all
Towns
great
Murthers
were
committed
,
but
none
more
horrid
or
devillish
than
the
Massacre
at
Lions
,
Mandolet
being
Governour
.
As
soon
as
he
received
the
Letters
,
he
,
by
a
Trumpet
and
Cryer
,
summoned
those
of
the
Religion
to
appear
before
him
,
which
they
readily
did
.
Then
he
committed
them
to
several
Prisons
,
and
desir'd
the
common
Executioner
to
call
some
to
his
assistance
,
and
to
murther
them
in
Prison
,
but
he
refus'd
it
,
saying
,
he
executed
the
Law
on
none
but
such
as
were
publickly
condemned
,
(
a
goodly
Governour
indeed
,
more
cruel
than
the
common
Hangman
!
)
Upon
this
denial
,
he
commanded
the
Garrison
Souldiers
of
the
Castle
to
take
upon
them
that
worthy
action
,
and
they
refus'd
it
likewise
,
upon
a
punctilio
of
Honour
,
that
they
did
not
use
to
fight
with
naked
men
;
but
the
Butchers
and
Water-men
at
last
(
verifying
the
old
Saying
,
that
they
are
pessimum
genus
hominum
)
were
the
wretched
Actors
of
his
Bloody
Design
,
committing
unheard
of
Cruelties
,
and
sporting
with
them
in
the
midst
of
their
misery
.
Insomuch
that
the
Blood
which
came
out
of
the
Goal
,
call'd
the
Arch-bishop's
Prison
,
was
seen
in
the
day-time
,
to
the
horrour
of
the
standers
by
,
to
flow
reaking
hot
in
the
Channels
of
the
Streets
,
and
so
into
the
River
of
Seine
.
Thus
for
the
space
of
thirty
days
complete
,
there
was
no
intermission
of
Murther
and
Slaughter
all
over
France
,
so
that
there
were
about
100000
Persons
slain
.
The
Guignard
,
in
his
Oration
,
said
,
It
was
a
great
mistake
that
they
did
not
cut
the
Basilisk
Vein
.
Bridegroom
and
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
who
were
secur'd
,
and
turn'd
Papists
to
escape
their
fury
,
yet
could
not
avoid
it
;
for
the
one
was
poison'd
,
and
the
other
stab'd
by
the
Papists
.
But
now
to
the
purpose
.
His
Holiness
surely
could
not
but
detest
and
abhorr
such
barbarous
Inhumanity
;
yet
since
this
was
done
upon
the
account
of
Religion
,
and
he
is
held
to
be
the
only
competent
Judge
of
it
;
let
us
give
ear
to
his
Opinion
,
which
we
find
recorded
in
Thuanus
,
a
Papist
,
and
an
Authentick
Historiographer
,
Hist
.

The
Pope's
Legate
at
Paris
gave
him
an
exact
Relation
of
this
Massacre
,
which
he
received
with
great
Joy
and
Satisfaction
;
read
the
Letter
openly
in
the
Consistory
of
Cardinals
,
and
fell
to
consultation
about
the
matter
;
where
it
was
concluded
and
decreed
,
nemine
contradicente
,
that
they
should
go
to
St.
Mark's
Church
,
and
return
solemn
thanks
to
God
for
so
great
a
blessing
bestowed
on
the
Roman
Church
,
and
the
whole
Christian
World
:
and
this
being
performed
,
that
a
Jubilee
should
be
forthwith
published
throughout
all
Christendom
,
to
give
thanks
to
the
Almighty
for
destroying
the
Enemies
of
the
Church
,
&c.
The
Guns
were
fir'd
at
the
Castle
of
St.
Angelo
,
Bonfires
made
,
and
all
demonstrations
of
Joy
manifested
for
this
great
Victory
.
Within
a
short
time
after
,
there
was
a
Procession
to
St.
Lewis
,
made
by
his
Holiness
,
under
a
Canopy
,
his
Train
being
born
up
by
the
Emperour's
Ambassadour
,
with
many
of
the
Clergy
and
Nobility
:
and
an
Inscription
was
set
over
the
Church
door
;
whereby
the
Cardinal
of
Lorrain
in
the
name
of
the
French
King
congratulated
his
Holiness
and
the
Cardinals
,
&c.
for
the

,
of

Assistance

and
of
their
twelve
years

and
Prayers
.
Not
long
after
the
Pope
sent
Cardinal
Ursin
to
Congratulate
the
French
King
in
his
name
;
who
in
his
journey
highly
extoll'd
the
zeal
of
those
who
had
a
hand
in
the
Massacre
,
and
very
prodigally
distributed
the
Pope's
blessings
among
them
;
and
at
Paris
he
used
these
words
;
The
remembrance
of
the
late
Action
,
to
be
magnified
in
all
Ages
,
as
conducing
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
dignity
of
the
holy
Church
of
Rome
,
&c.
What
could
a
Dionysius
,
or
a
Phalaris
have
said
more
to
purpose
?
't
was
nobly
spoken
,
like
a
Man
of
God
in
Armour
,
one
that
in
tended
to
make
more
use
of
St.
Paul's
Sword
than
St.
Peter's
Keys
to
do
the
work
of
the
Lord
more
effectually

moved
the
Guisians
(
whom
he
stiled
the
Maccabees
of
the
Church
of
Rome
)
to
enter
into
an
holy
League
against
their
Lawful
Sovereign
;
calling
in
Spain
and
Savoy
to
their
Assistance
,
which
Succors
they
paid
off
with
the
Rights
of
the
Crown
:
and
did
all
that
in
them
lay
to
rob
him
,
both
of
his
Kingdom
and
Life
;
which
forced
this
King
to
treat
them
as
they
had
the
Hugonots
;
and
for
standing
thus
manfully
upon
his
own
Legs
,
in
his
own
defence
,
he
is
shamefully
abused
by
one
of
the
Romanists
,
a
Man
of
a
common
and
shameless
Brow
,
to
bespatter
a
Puissant
Monarch
with
such
base
and
scurrilous
Language
:
for
he
doth
not
blush
to
affirm
,
that
he
was
1000
times
worse
than
Mahomet
;
nay
,
he
goes
farther
,
saying
,
that
no
Nation
ever
suffered
such
a
Tyrant
from
the
Creation
to
his
time
.

However
,
the
Pope
Excommunicates
the
King
,
grants
an
Indulgence
of
nine
Years
,
to
any
Subject
that
would
fight
against
him
,
as
the
wages
of
his
Rebellion
;
and
did
prognosticate
(
which
he
might
easily
doe
without
Necromancy
,
an
Art
that
many
of
them
have
been
very
expert
in
)
that
it
would
not
be
long
'
ere
he
came
to
a
violent
Death
.
The
Subjects
take
up
Arms
against
their
King
,
and
earn
the
Indulgence
;
and
a
Friar
with
his
Knife
verefies
the
Prediction
:
and
the
exultation
and
joy
that
was
at
Rome
for
this
Assassination
,
can
hardly
be
believ'd
,
were
it
not
warranted
by
the
Popes
Harangue
to
his
Cardinals
,
printed
at
Paris
1589
,
wherein
he
saith
,
this
work
of
God
(
the
King's
murther
)
is
to
be
compar'd
with
the
Incarnation
and
Resurrection
of
Christ
for
it
's
Stupendiousness
;
and
prefers
the
Friar's
courage
and
fervent
zeal
to
God
,
before
that
of
Eleazar
and
Judith
,
averring
,
that
the
King
died
in
the
Sin
against
the
Holy
Ghost
,
tho
a
profest
Papist
.
Thus
a
Popish
King
is
stab'd
,
and
condemn'd
to
Hell
for
sparing
the
Blood
of
Hugonots
.
I
will
not
trouble
you
with
the
story
of
the
Spanish
Invasion
in
eighty
eight
,
in
the
Reign
of
Queen
Elizabeth
;
nor
the
Gun-powder
Plot
in
the
time
of
King
James
,
tho
the
former
was
plotted
,
countenanced
,
and
abetted
by
Pope
〈◇〉
and
the
latter
had
it
's
rise
from
the
Breves
of
Pope
Clement
the
eighth
;
(
for
where
shall
you
hear
of
any
monstrous
Design
that
his
Holiness
hath
not
a
Hand
in
?
)
These
wicked
Practices
are
so
modern
,
and
well
known
,
that
,
I
presume
,
the
Reader
wants
not
a
Remembrancer
to
put
him
in
mind
of
them
,
but
my
Pen
is
almost
choakt
up
with
Blood
and
Gore
;
therefore
I
will
conclude
these
Tragedies
with
this
Epilogue
,
made
ready
to
my
hand
,
on
the
deplored
death
of
the
Lady
Jane
Gray

The
next
thing
that
falls
under
our
consideration
is
,
the
Popes
Heavenly-mindedness
,
Knowledge
,
Learning
,
Sobriety
,
Infalibility
,
and
some
other
particulars
.
As
to
the
first
,
to
shew
how
heavenly
they
are
inclin'd
;
Baronius
and
Genebrard
,
both
mortal
Enemies
to
Protestants
,
and
great
Promoters
of
the
Popish
Interest
and
Religion
,
cannot
but
confess
ingeniously
,
without
any
provocation
thereunto
,
that
from
the
Year
870
,
to
the
Year
1050
,
none
sate
in
the
Papal
Chair
,
but
such
as
were
Necromancers
,
Magicians
,
Adulterers
,
Murtherers
and
Impious
Persons
.
Hildebrand
was
a
notorious
Necromancer
,
raised
Devils
familiarly
,
shook
sparks
of
Fire
out
of
his
sleeve
by
Magick
Art
,
being
elected
by
Soldiers
,
contrary
to
the
Canons
of
the
Church
,
and
when
he
obtain'd
the
Papacy
,
play'd
the
Devil
for
Gods
sake
,
expell'd
Cardinals
at
his
pleasure
,
and
supported
himself
by
his
Sorcery
and
Witchcraft
.
John
thirteenth
,
Monstrum
Papae
,
a
monster
of
a
Pope
,
he
,
besides
other
filthy
and
enormous
crimes
which
he
commited
,
call'd
for
the
Devil
to
assist
him
at
Dice
,
and
after
drank
a
Health
to
him
,
and
,
like
a
Devil
incarnate
,
would
ramble
about
and
break
Windows
,
fire
Houses
in
the
night
,
and
run
away
by
the
light
of
them
.
Pope
Sylvester
the
second
,
was
a
Necromancer
,
and
gave
his
Soul
to
the
Devil
,
by
compact
made
with
him
,
provided
he
might
obtain
the
Popedom
.
This
is
strange
,
tho
true
,
to
part
with
that
for
mony
,
that
cannot
be
purchas'd
with
mony
;
sure
he
had
but
a
very
bad
Bargain
on
't
.
Alexander
the
sixth
,
was
guilty
of
Witchcraft
as
well
as
Incest
,
and
a
concatenation
of
other
Crimes
.
Paul
the
third
was
a
Magician
,
as
well
as
John
the
8th
,
12th
,
13th
,
14th
,
15th
,
16th
,
17th
,
as
if
the
name
,
whose
Etymology
implies
Gracious
,
could
be
so
impure
and
satanical
;
and
you
will
find
,
if
you
consult
their
own
Authors
,
Idolatry
in
a
Marcelline
,
Platina
in

.
Arrianisme
in
a
Liberius
,
Diabolical
Applications

Inhumations
in
a
wicked

,
and
such
barbarous
Cruelties
,
that
Paganism
it self
,
is
comparitively
merciful
,
and
Mahometism
morally
vertuous
.
Their
Learning
and
Knowledge
in
the
Arts
and
Sciences
will
appear
in
a
Pope
Paul
the
second
,
who
was
brought
up
a
Merchant's
Factor
,
and
was
so
great
a
hater
of
Learning
and
the
Learned
,
that
he
pronounced

durst

The
poor
Bishop
Virgilius
,
a
German
Mathematician
,
was
cited
to
Rome
for
an
Heretick
,
because
he
asserted
the
Antipodes
,
and
there
(
as
one
hath
it
)
by
the
fiery
zeal
of
Pope
Zachary
,
was
committed
to
the
Flames
,
to
shew
how
infallible
the
Roman
Oracle
is
in
condemning
that
which
all
do
maintain
;
and
himself
maintain'd
the
Antipodes
in
his
life
,
his
footsteps
being
opposite
to
those
of
his
meek
and
pious
Ancestors
.
Some
Popes
have
been
mere
ignorant
Lay-men
at
their
Election
.
Boniface
the
ninth
,
a
Neopolitan
,
was
so
illiterate
,
that
he
could
neither
write
,
sing
,
nor
say
,
(
a
fit
Person
to
be
Universal
Pastor
,
and
to
instruct
the
ignorant
)
nor
understand
matters
discuss'd
before
him
;
yet
a
notable
Huckster
for
selling
Livings
,
who
expos'd
all
to
sale
;
no
Dolt
could
be
long
unpreferr'd
if
he
came
open-handed
,
and
could
purchase
with
money
.
One
of
the
Benedicts
was
a
Boy
of
ten
years
of
age
,
a
Popeling
,
not
manumitted
from
the
rigour
of
the
ferula●
;
John
the
13th
,
an
aged
Stripling
of
nineteen
:
Nay
,
some
Popes
,
as
Alphonsus
de
Castro
intimates
,
were
such
Learned
Clerks
,
ut
penitus
Grammaticam
ignorarent
,
that
they
had
scarce
read
their
Grammar
.
What
?
beardless
Striplings
ascend
the
Chair
!
surely
't
is
not
come
to
that
yet
!
but
it
is
,
assure
your self
,
whatever
is
the
matter
.
Hence
we
may
rationally
infer
,
that
that
Church
must
needs
be
well
manag'd
that
hath
such
Reverend
Guides
and
Learned
Heads
,
yet
if
you
look
about
you
,
you
'l
find
more
in
't
than
you
imagine
;
't
is
very
probable
these
Successors
of
St.
Peter
did
it
to
avoid
the
imputation
of
St.
Paul
;
Too
much
Learning
hath
made
thee
mad
.
Take
a
spice
of
their
Sobriety
in
Pope
Benedict
the
12th
,
who
was
so
great
a
Drinker
,
would
carouze
so
briskly
,
and
turn
off
his
Cups
so
merrily
,
that
it
seems
he
deserv'd
this
Epitaph
,
which
some
good
Fellow
or
other
bestow'd
on
him
:
the
Latin's
honest
,
but
homely
.
Iste

He
was
to
Lay-men
death
in
sooth
,
To
Clergy
and
Divines
A
Viper
;
deviating
from
truth
;
A
mere
Hogshead
of
Wines
.
Well
,
I
'll
say
this
for
him
,
and
a
Fig
for
him
,
he
was
a
boon
blade
I
'll
warrant
you
;
this
is
the
only
sociable
Pope
that
we
have
met
with
in
the
whole
crew
hitherto
.
Innocent
the
eighth
,
a
dull
ignorant
Sot
,
who
would
take
a
Cup
too
much
in
the
midst
of
his
Affairs
of
greatest
weight
and
importance
,
and
like
a
true
Philosopher
drink
till
his
head
run
round
with
the
World
,
in
vindication
of
the
Copernican
Systeme
.
Their
Conversation
of
yea
,
yea
,
and
nay
,
nay
,
they
observe
very
perfunctorily
,
for
the
Laity
and
inferiour
Clergy
out-hector
the
whole
World
in
blasphemous
and
customary
Oaths
;
nor
are
the
Popes
themselves
free
from
this
vain
Vice
,
that
is
neither
sweetned
with
Pleasure
nor
season'd
With
Profit
.
The
Barons
of
England
,
seeing
that
the
Kingdom
and
Crown
was
become
absolutely
tributary
to
the
Pope
,
to
their
great
grief
and
perplexity
,
demanded
some
Priviledges
of
King
John
,
which
he
had
engaged
by
Oath
to
grant
;
to
which
he
return'd
no
answer
,
but
referr'd
them
wholly
to
Pope
Innocent
the
third
,
as
his
Liege-Lord
of
whom
he
held
his
Crown
.
Ambassadors
were
sent
to
Rome
,
with
Instructions
and
Demands
to
that
purpose
:
but
his
Holiness
resented
it
so
ill
,
that
in
the
close
of
his
Speech
,
he
Swore
,
with
a
furrow'd
Brow
,
by
Saint
Peter
I
cannot
suffer
this
injury
to
be
unpunished
.
Boldly
done
Innocent
!
't
was
more
than
St.
Peter
himself
durst
do
,
had
he
then
sate
in
the
Chair
.
And
another
time
,
upon
some
occasion
being
moved
to
Passion
,
he
Swore
by
St.
Peter
and
St.
Paul
both
,
that
neither
of
them
might
take
exceptions
;
of
whom
one
wrote
this
Distich
.
Pope
Innocent

the
worst
of
all

rout

If
you

his
name

Robert
Grosthead
,
the
honest
Bishop
of
Lincoln
,
opposed
Pope
Innocent
,
and
laught
at
his
thundring
Excommunications
;
of
whom
it
is
reported
,
that
he
came
to
him
after
his
death
,
and
put
his
Holiness
in
mind
,
by
a
blow
with
his
Crosier
,
of
this
Item
,
Surge
miser
,
&

and
soon
after
he
died
of
a
Plurisie

Now
for
the
Grand
Palladium
of
Rome
,
their
so
much
boasted
of
,
and
highly
applauded
infallibity
,
which
is
infeof'd
upon
St.
Peter's
Chair
,
tho
the
Pope
be
Heretick
,
Idolater
,
Incestuous
,
a
Necromancer
,
Sodomite
,
nay
,
what
not
,
if
he
once
claps
his
Apostolik
Seat
there
,
he
must
necessarily
be
free
from
error
.
Doctor
John
Funecius
,
a
Man
of
great
Learning
,
in
the
10th
Book
of
his
Chronology
reports
,
that
in
the
year
1332
Pope
John
the
22th
,
fell
into
a
great
Heresie
,
which
was
this
;
That
the
Souls
departed
this
life
,
did
not
injoy
the
Beatifical
Vision
,
that
is
see
God
,
till
the
last
day
;
yet
this
Pope
must
be
infallible
,
tho
guilty
of
so
gross
an
Error
.
There
hapned
a
great
difference
between
this
Pope
and
the
Franciscans
;
he
charging
them
with
Heresie
,
and
they
again
,
to
requite
his
kindness
,
disowning
him
,
as
a
damnable
Heretick
,
and
no
Pope
;
thus
his
Infallibility
of
Judgment
is
disclaimed
by
his
own
Crew
,
and
he
himself
un-Pop'd
by
them
.
There
were
three
blazing
Comets
conspicuous
in
the
Roman
Horizon
at
one
and
the
same
time
,
that
was
in
the
11th
Century
,
viz.
Benedict
the
9th
,
Sylvester
the
third
,
and
Gregory
the
sixth
,
and
,
as
one
saith
very
well
,
It
were
very
strange
if
they
should
produce
no
alteration
in
the
Ecclesiastical
Body
.
Three
Popes
cohabiting
at
Rome
,
and
as
many
more
residing
in
three
several
Countries
;
a
Grand
Schism
for
the
space
of
forty
years
;
and
Ambition
and
Corruption
,
being
more
prevalent
to
advance
to
the
Pontifical
Dignity
,
than
a
good
Christian
Life
.
It
must
needs
be
a
greater
Prodigy
,
than
a
Miracle-monger
,
by
the
help
of
his
forged
Legends
,
can
pretend
to
,
that
contrariety
should
meet
and
shake
hands
,
and
absolute
Contradictions
prove
a
Pope
infallible
.
These
were
Anti-Popes
in
competition
and
opposition
to
the
Papal
Promotion
;
nay
,
their
own
Authors
are
at
difference

Nay
,
the
prettiest
humour
of
all
is
,
that
they
should
impose
upon
us
so
much
as
to
force
us
to
believe
,
that
when
two
Popes
contradict
each
other
,

they
are
both
infallible

Pope
Urban
the
8th
liv'd
the
longest
and
died
the
richest
of
all
the
Popes
;
for
he
sat
in
the
Chair
twenty
years
:
a
rare
thing
(
for
they
usually
kick
up
their
heels
very
suddenly
,
and
the
reason
is
this
,
if
they
should
live
long
they
would
do
too
much
mischief
)
tho
none
of
them
ever
attain'd
to
the
years
of
St.
Peter
,
who
,
as
they
say
,
was
Bishop
of
Rome
twenty
five
.
This
Urban
was
a
very
active
Man
,
and
did
not
only
pry
into
the
present
Affairs
of
the
Church
,
but
with
a
retrospect
did
rip
up
and
dive
into
old
matters
;
to
which
end
and
purpose
he
appointed
a
select
Committee
to
examine
Accounts
,
and
take
cognizance
of
the
Errors
of
his
Predecessors
;
upon
which
occasion
this
witty
Pasquin
was
made
at
Rome
;
where
there
are
the
Statues
of
St.
Peter
and
St.
Paul
erected
upon
a
Bridge
there
directly
opposite
one
to
the
other
,
a
merry
wag
had
clapt
a
pair
of
Spurs
upon
St.
Peter's
heels
,
and
St.
Paul
is
supposed
to
say
to
him
,
Whither
so
fast
in
this
riding
posture
?
who
answers
him
;
I
apprehend
there
is
great
danger
in
my
stay
at
Rome
,
by
reason
of
this
new
Commission
,
for
I
fear
they
will
question
me
for
denying
my
Master
,
therefore
I
'll
post
away
to
some
other
place
of
Safety
;
and
truly
Brother
Peter
,
said
Paul
,
I
intend
not
to
stay
long
after
you
,
for
I
have
as
much
reason
to
suspect
that
they
will
examine
me
for
persecuting
Christians
before
my
Conversion
.
Pope
Zachary
,
when
the
trade
of
Church-merchandizes
was
very
dead
,
and
he
had
little
or
nothing
to
do
,
rather
than
he
would
be
idle
,
wrote
to
Bishop
Boniface
in
Germany
directions
when
to
eat
Bacon
,
and
he
did
very
well
in
't
,
whatsoever
the
prating
Hugonot
says
to
the
contrary
;
tho
he
had
done
far
better
,
in
the
Opinion
of
some
of
our
modern
Casuists
,
if
he
had
also
given
him
some
wholsom
Instructions
concerning
the
Manducation
of
Eggs
,
that
so
the
Prelate
might
have
had
a
complete
Dish
.
Leo
the
tenth
had
an
intention
to
create
Raphael
Urbin
,
a
mere
Painter
,
Cardinal
;
And
why
might
not
a
good
Painter
make
a
good
Cardinal
?
but
sure
it
was
not
he
who
drew
the
Pictures
of
St.
Peter
and
St.
Paul
,
and
made
them
so
red-faced
,
that
that
he
was
reprov'd
for
it
by
some
of
the
Conclave
,
because
the
ignorant
might
be
apt
to
judge
them
great
Drinkers
,
to
the
scandal
of
Religion
;
but
he
soon
replied
,
that
is
your
mistake
and
not
mine
;
for
I
made
them
so
ruddy
,
because
I
knew
that
if
they
were
living
they
would
blush
for
shame
at
the
vicious
lives
of
their
pretended
Successors
.
Now
what
if
it
were
the
same
Man
?
It
was
great
and
good
Policie
in
the
Pope
,
beyond
the
reach
of
a
Protestant
Noddle
;
for
hereby
he
might
oblige
all
of
that
Profession
,
in
hopes
of
the
like
Promotion
,
that
when
ever
any
of
them
for
the
future
should
undertake
to
draw
the
Pourtraicture
of
any
Saint
whatsoever
,
he
should
make
them
of
a
more
pallid
and
sober
Complexion
.
I
'll
warrant
you
this
leering
Hugonot
laughs
in
his
sleeve
at
this
pretty
intrigue
of
Church-Policy
:
but
no
matter
for
that
,
the
Papist
cries
out
,
Let
him
laugh
that
wins
,
and
so
gives
you
one
Proverb
in
exchange
of
another
.
It
is
reported
in
our
History
,
that
King
James
of
blessed
Memory
did
once
in
his
Progress
vouchsafe
to
bestow
a
visit
upon
Sir
—
Pope
,
Knight
,
whose
Lady
at
that
time
was
lately
deliver'd
of
a
Daughter
,
and
the
Infant
was
presented
to
his
Majesty
with
a
Paper
of
Verses
in
her
Hand
which
the
King
was
much
pleas'd
with
,
the
Contents
whereof
were
as
followeth
;
See
this
little
Mistris
here
,
Who
ne're
sate
in
Peter's
Chair
,
Or
a
Triple
Crown
did
wear
,
And
yet
she
is
a
Pope
;
She
hardly
is
a
seven-night
old
,
Nor
did
she
ever
hope
To
Saint
one
with
a
Pope
,
And
yet
she
is
a
Pope
.
No
Benefices
she
e're
sold
;
Nor
did
dispence
with
Sins
for
Gold
;
No
King
her
Feet
did
ever
kiss
,
Or
had
from
her
worse
look
than
this
,
And
yet
she
is
a
Pope
.
A
Female
Pope
you
'l
say
,
a
second
Joan
;
Nay
,
sure
she
is
Pope
Innocent
,
or
none
.
Now
if
any
or
all
your
Romanists
can
,
out
of
your
long
Nomenclatura
of
Popes
,
produce
one
that
may
come
near
this
Protestant
Pope
for
Innocence
,
Modesty
,
or
Humility
,
wee
'l
save
you
the
labour
of
compassing
Sea
and
Land
to
make
Proselytes
,
for
wee
'l
all
unanimously
return
,
and
without
any
more
adoe
re-unbosom
our selves
with
your
Holy
Mother
the
Church
of
Rome
.
It
is
thought
by
some
,
and
those
Judicious
Persons
too
,
that
Pasqin
,
among
the
many
witty
Jests
he
hath
thrown
upon
the
Pope
and
Clergy
,
never
acted
any
thing
with
better
Grace
,
than
when
he
counterfeited
himself
so
affronted
that
he
was
ready
to
die
for
very
Grief
,
because
he
had
receiv'd
such
an
Injury
as
had
almost
broke
his
very
Heart
:
and
being
askt
by
one
that
heard
him
bemoan
himself
;
what
Injury
,
Friend
,
is
this
that
is
done
to
thee
?
Has
any
one
call'd
thee
Thief
or
Buggerer
?
No
,
no
,
said
he
.
What
then
?
And
so
went
on
naming
most
of
the
grossest
Indignities
that
could
be
put
upon
a
Man
by
opprobrious
Language
.
No
,
no
,
pish
,
said
he
,
you
have
not
hit
it
yet
;
and
so
breaking
out
into
grievous
Sobs
and
Sighs
,
Alas
!
alas
!
said
he
,
't
is
worse
then
all
you
can
imagine
,
they
have
been
so
abusive
as
to
call
me
Pope
.
Nay
farther
,
he
has
given
you
to
understand
what
conceit
he
and
all
Men
should
have
of
the
Pope
,
by
this
following
Hexastick
.
Hic
Carapha

Here
th'
hate
of
Heaven
and
Hell
,
Carapha
lies
:
I
th'
Grave
's
his
Body
;
in
Styx
his
Soul
cries
:
He
envied
Peace
with
Men
and
Prayers
to
God
;
To
Lay
and
Clergy-men
a
wicked
Rod
.
Suppliant
to
Foes
;
but
Faithless
to
his
Friend
:
In
short
,
he
was
a
Pope
,
and
there
's
an
End.
Pope
Leo
the
10th
,
being
told
by
his
Confessor
,
that
he
need
fear
nothing
,
because
he
had
the
Keys
of
Heaven
at
his
Girdle
,
and
those
of
the
Church
Treasury
also
,
consisting
in
the
Merits
of
Christ
,
and
the
blessed
Saints
,
gave
him
this
true
answer
.
Thou
know'st
that
he
who
hath
once
sold
a
thing
,
hath
no
longer
right
to
it
;
therefore
,
since
I
have
made
sale
of
Heaven
and
all
to
others
,
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
it
my self
;
which
being
the
common
Traffick
at
Rome
,
was
the
occasion
of
this
saying
.
Roma
dat
omnibus
omnia
dantibus
,
omnia
Romae
,
Cum
pretio
.
—
Rome
gives
to
all
that
part
with
all
their
Gold
:
For
there
all
things
are
merely
bought
and
sold
.
The
same
Pope
being
reproved
by
some
of
his
Cardinals
,
for
leading
so
leud
a
Life
,
being
grown
worse
and
worse
,
since
his
Inauguration
;
answer'd
them
,
If
I
am
wicked
you
are
the
cause
of
it
,
for
you
made
me
what
I
am
;
which
strange
reply
,
put
them
to
this
question
,
what
he
meant
by
saying
so
;
why
,
quoth
he
,
you
have
made
me
Pope
,
and
it
is
impossible
to
be
a
Pope
and
a
good
Man
;
Now
this
must
needs
be
infallibly
true
,
because
Infallibility
it self
,
maintains
it
to
be
so
.
Thus
you
see
what
it
is
to
be
a
Pope
,
and
may
rest
satisfied
with
this
as
a
Corollary
for
all
;
if
horrid
Blasphemies
,
Oathes
,
and
Execrations
;
if
filthy
Whoredom
,
Adultery
,
Incest
,
Sodomy
and
Buggery
;
if
intolerable
Pride
,
Ambition
,
Tyranny
and
Oppression
;
if
bloody
Cruelty
,
Butcheries
,
Murthers
and
Massacres
;
if
sordid
Avarice
,
Simony
and
Sacriledge
,
if
Hellish
Sorcery
,
Witchcraft
,
and
Necromancy
;
if
blockish
Ignorance
,
Stupidity
,
Gaming
,
and
all
manner
of
Debaucheries
;
if
these
or
any
of
these
are
commendable
and
sufficient
Qualifications
for
the
Papacy
,
then
no
Persons
in
the
World
were
ever
more
fit
to
govern
the
See
of
Rome
,
than
those
Popes
that
we
have
given
you
an
Account
of
;
but
it
is
now
high
time
to
take
our
leave
,
and
bid
them
all
Adieu
.
Sic

Actus

Exit
Pope
,
Enter
Cardinal
.
Of
Cardinals
,
Abbots
,
Bishops
,
and
Jesuits
promiscuously
.
ANd
first
of
the
Cardinals
,
being
next
to
the
Pope
,
and
Superior
to
others
in
Dignity
;
let
us
observe
whether
the
Cardinals
Cap
shrowds
as
many
Vices
as
the
Triple
Crown
;
but
here
I
must
tell
you
for
your
Comfort
before
hand
,
that
you
'l
find
ne're
a
Barrel
better
Herring
but
like
Master
like
Man
;
like
Head
like
Members
;
and
those
as
bad
as
bad
can
be
,
nay
,
which
is
worst
of
all
,
't
is
a
stark
shame
,
that
there
is
no
shame
among
them
.
The
Popes
have
been
Fathers
to
some
,
but
Silvester
the
first
was
Godfather
to
all
of
them
:
for
by
him
they
were
called
Cardinals
.
qd
.
Cardines
,
because
they
are
the
Persons
about
whom
,
like
Hinges
,
the
Church
Militant
ought
to
move
,
repose
upon
,
and
be
supported
;
to
intimate
unto
us
,
that
those
who
attain
to
the
Dignity
of
the
Cardinalate
,
ought
to
be
so
Exemplary
in
their
Lives
and
Conversations
,
that
all
Christians
may
be
regulated
by
their
Actions
,
and
the
very
Infidels
perswaded
to
return
into
the
bosom
of
the
Roman
Catholick
and
Apostolick
Church
;
Who
,
when
he
is
created
by
the
Pope's
Breve
,
't
is
in
these
Words
;
Creamus
te
Socium
Regibus
,
superiorem
Ducibus
&
Fratrem
nostrum
.
We
do
make
thee
equal
to
Kings
,
Superior
to
Dukes
,
and
our
own
Brother
.
Innocent
the
fourth
gave
them
the
red
Hat
,
Boniface
the
ninth
their
Vestment
,
and
Paul
the
second
the
Scarlet
Cap
,
to
signifie
unto
us
how
ready
they
are
to
venture
their
Lives
and
shed
their
Blood
for
the
Honour
of
God
,
and
Service
of
their
holy
Mother
the
Church
,
or
which
is
more
probable
,
to
spill
the
Blood
of
those
good
Christians
who
oppose
their
superstitious
and
idolatrous
Worship
;
Now
,
how
they
deserve
either
Name
or
Habit
bestow'd
on
them
by
his
Holiness
,
whose
Infallibility
is
as
much
to
be
question'd
in
this
,
as
in
any
other
Matter
,
these
ensuing
Relations
will
soon
convince
you
.
And
first
,
for
their
blasphemous
and
prophane
Expressions
and
abuses
of
Scripture
;
for
we
will
be
more
plain
with
them
than
their
Universal
Bishop
,
and
not
cloak
Vice
with
the
name
of
Virtue
.
Cardinal
Bembo
was
so
much
affected
with
,
and
tied
up
to
Cicero
,
that
he
would
use
none
but
his
Words
:
therefore
the
Senate
of
Venice
must
be
stil'd
,
Patres
conscripti
,
Dukes
and
Dukedoms
,
Reges
&
Regna
,
the
grand
Turk
and
the
Sophi
,
Reges
Armeniae
&
Thracum
:
Excommunication
,
Interdictio
Igni
&
Aquae
;
Faith
,
Persuasio
;
Nuns
,
Vestals
;
and
the
Pope
Pontifex
Maximus
,
and
he
was
so
puffed
up
with
this
Conceit
,
that
he
altogether
slighted
St.
Paul's
Epistles
,
abusing
them
with
the
Name
of
Epistolacciae
,
little
idle
Epistles
,
disswading
his
Friends
from
perusal
of
them
,
lest
thereby
they
should
corrupt
their
Eloquence
.
't
was
done
like
a
true
Christian
Cardinal
,
to
prefer
Cicero
the
Pagan
,
before
St
Paul
the
learned
and
great
Apostle
of
the
Gentiles
.
And
another
Popish
Prelate
had
so
great
a
stock
of
Impudence
as
to
say
,
that
St.
Paul
penn'd
many
unnecessary
things
,
which
might
have
been
better
omitted
;
and
farther
,
that
if
he
had
seriously
considered
the
offence
that
might
afterwards
have
been
given
thereby
,
he
would
have
been
better
advis'd
,
before
he
had
ventured
upon
the
Publication
of
them
.

doing
the
contrary
are

Monsters

adding
this
reason
to
corroborat●
and
strengthen
his
Argument
,
and
setting
himself
above

,
to
prove
hi●

over

that
a
Cardinal
lying
upon
his
death-bed
,
desired
to
be
shriven
;
and
when
his
Confessor
came
to
do
that
Office
,
he
told
him
that
he
must
worship
one
God
only
;
who
replied
so
I
do
,
and
that
God
is
the
Pope
:
for
since
his
Holiness
is
God
on
Earth
,
(
and
two
Gods
are
not
to
be
worshipped
)
I
had
rather
adore
the
visible
than
the
invisible
Deity
:
the
Confessor
rejoyn'd
,
the
Pope
is
neither
God
nor
Christ
,
but
the
Cardinal
clos'd
the
discourse
with
this
Blasphemy
,
I
would
have
thee
to
understand
,
that
if
Christ
were
alive
again
,
and
should
take
a
Journey
to
Rome
,
the
Pope
would
give
him
a
very
cold
(
or
no
)
reception
,
unless
he
would
humble
himself
so
far
as
to
kiss
his
Pantofle
.
It
was
the
devout
saying
of
a
profound
Doctor
of
the
Roman
Church
,
who
did
declare
openly
,
that
if
he
were
satisfied
no
Person
had
St.
Paul's
Epistles
but
himself
,
he
would
commit
them
to
the
flames
,
and
burn
them
,
rather
than
they
should
be
publikly
Read
.

reports
of
Peter
Riarius
,
one
of
Pope
Sixtus
the
fourth's
Cardinals
,
that
his
Gownes
,
the
Tieks
,
and
Coverings
of
his
Bed
,
were
all
of
Cloth
of
Gold
,
and
his
other
Furniture
of
Silk
,
and
that
he
feasted
Elianor
of
Arragon
,
as
she
was
on
her
Journey
to
Hercules
d'Este
,
Duke
of
Ferrara
,
with
whom
she
was
to
be
married
very
sumptuously
,
I
had
almost
said
Royally
,
where
there
was
such
variety
,
and
different
sorts
of
Luxurious
Viands
,
and
Delicious
Quelqueschoses
,
that
the
Banquet
continued
seven
hours
,
and
that
his
Guests
might
not
be
tired
with
so
long
and
tedious
a
Treat
,
he
diverted
them
with
several
Plays
,
which
were
acted
whilst
they
sate
at
Table
,
and
every
Servitor
that
attended
,
to
render
the
Entertainment
more
splendid
,
had
a
new
Sute
every
Course
that
was
brought
in
;
this
is
according
to
the
Proverb
,
Prelates
fare
●ndeed
,
that
is
delicious
Food
;
yet
all
this
is
short
of
what
he
says
afterwards
,
that
he
was
so
shameless
as
to
keep
his
Whore
Tiresia
,
publickly
,
and
so
splendidly
rich
in
all
her
gorgeous
Apparel
,
that
her
very
Shooes
were
studded
with
Diamonds
,
Pearls
,
and
pretious
Stones
.
The
great
and
modest
Prelate
,
John
Bishop
of
Crema
,
who
was
commissionated
to
oppose
the
Marriage
of
the
English
Clergy
,
did
perform
his
errand
so
well
as
to
confute
himself
grosly
;
for
that
very
night
he
was
taken
in
Bed
with
a
Strumpet
.
What
of
all
this
?
you
must
not
take
notice
of
what
they
do
,
but
what
they
say
,
thus
the
Catholicks
excuse
it
,
but
I
'le
warrant
you
the
Hugonot
will
either
laugh
,
or
shake
his
head
at
such
frivolous
and
sinful
Evasions
.
At
the
Council
of
Trent
,
(
a
fit
place
for
such
an
Action
)
a
Husband
lent
his
Wife
to
a
Cardinal
(
see
what
Fripperers
and
Brokers
they
are
,
that
can
pawn
their
Wives
Chastity
for
filthy
lucre
)
and
though
at
first
she
was
religiously
scrupulous
,
pleading
Conscience
,
yet
she
soon
alter'd
her
Mind
,
and
prostituted
her
Body
to
the
holy
Man's
Embraces
.
The
next
Morning
the
Cardinal's
Concubine
went
very
confidently
to
her
Husband
,
and
paid
him
the
Mony
promis'd
for
her
work
;
telling
him
withall
,
that
though
you
take
it
but
for
a
Loan
,
yet
assure
your self
it
is
an
absolute
sale
,
therefore
you
had
best
provide
your self
another
Bed-fellow
;
for
to
tell
you
the
Truth
,
I
had
rather
be
sold
out
right
,
then
barely
lent
,
that
I
may
not
be
put
to
the
trouble
of
changing
so
often
.

for

understood
not
one
Syllable
of
Latin

his
Passe-Latin
(
that
is
the
Office
of
a

by
which
means
he
was
promoted
to

Cardinal
Granvil
was
a
debauch't
Man
,
one
of
low
Birth
,
but
high
Advancement
,
a
Smith's
Son
;
and
we
may
well
say
of
him
,
as
Juvenal
did
of
the
Greek
Orator
of
the
same
extract
,
in
his
10th
Satyr
,
who
,
though
an
Heathen
,
did
exceed
him
as
much
in
Morality
as
Rhetorick
;
and
if
his
Lot
had
fallen
within
the
Pale
of
the
Church
,
would
undoubtedly
have
deserv'd
the
Cardinalate
much
more
than
he
,
and
prov'd
a
better
Christian
.

The
private
part
of
this
Cardinal's
Life
,
his
secret
Retirements
,
and
Closet
Conversation
,
was
dissolute
and
detestably
lascivious
,
even
to
Romanists
themselves
;
the
dimensions
of
his
Immoralities
and
Impieties
were
of
a
vast
extent
;
his
Adultery
,
Lechery
,
and
Wantonness
banisht
him
from
Rome
,
Naples
and
Millan
:
He
,
to
promote
his
Lust
,
caused
several
exquisite
Pieces
of
obscenity
to
be
drawn
and
printed
,
and
in
his
private
recesses
he
had
the
Pictures
of
the
Greatest
Ladies
and
Beauties
pourtraicted
to
the
Life
,
which
had
been
by
him
violated
,
and
prostituted
to
his
devillish
Lust
;
insomuch
that
there
was
a
Pasquinata
that
went
up
and
down
of
him
and
some
others
,
that
Carrera's
Cowardise
,
the
Duke
of

,

was
to
be
called
in
by
reason
of
some
loose
passages
therein
,
or
he
to
lose
his
Bishoprick
;
that
the
mitred
Gentleman
made
choice
of
the
latter
,
rather
lose
his
profit
,
than
his
pleasure
and
wanton
humour

(

was
so
Poetically
waggish
,
that
he
would
lay

could
answer

one

,
should
speak

To
which
he
readily
,
replied
without

to
his
devout
Missification

pretty
amorous
and
kissative

indeed

can
be
no
less
than
Osculum
Charitatis

what
Female
soever
receive

Of
their
Cruelty
,
Massacres
,
Murthers
,
Coveteousness
,
Ignorance

NOr
have
we
done
with
Cardinal
Granvil
;
for
tho
we
concluded
the
last
,
we
must
begin
this
Chapter
with
him
.
He
was
more
than
suspected
to
be
an
Atheist
,
very
much
addicted
to
Enchantments
,
Sorcery
and
Poysoning
;
and
he
made
an
Essay
of
this
his
black
Art
on
the
wise
and
virtuous
Maximilian
the
second
,
King
of
the
Romans
;
yet
this
walking
Monument
of
Vices
was
lookt
upon
by
the
Pope
and
King
of
Spain
to
be
a
very
fit
Instrument
in
setling
the
holy
Inquisition
in
the
Netherlands
;
a
proper
Agent
,
sufficiently
qualified
with
Cruelty
for
that
bloody
Employment
he
was
to
excute
.
This
bloody
Inquisition
had
no
Cloak
to
shrowd
it
's
Tyranny
,
but
pious
fraud
covered
with
Robes
of
Sanctity
,
erected
in
several
Parts
of
Europe
(
but
we
will
only
mention
that
of
the
Netherlands
,
wherein
the
Cardinal
was
so
much
concern'd
)
was
confirmed
and
ratified
by
Pope
Sixtus
the
fourth
.
This
bloody
Granvil
,
a
Sanguine
Cardinal
,
must
be
the
good
Man
appointed
to
settle
this
horrid
Inquisition
,
who
,
with
the
assistance
of
that
Monster
the
Duke
d'Alva
,
puts
all
in
a
Flame
and
Combustion
;
and
to
enumerate
the
Troubles
,
Miseries
,
Cruelties
,
Massacres
,
Murthers
,
Barbarismes
,
and
Devastations
both
of
that
People
and
Country
,
is
a
Task
beyond
my
Weakness
,
and
too
sanguinary
for
a
Man
of
my
Constitution
:
only
in
short
,
these
Inquisitors
did
imprison
and
execute
all
Protestants
with
the
most
exquisite
and
incredible
Tortures
;
confiscate
their
Goods
,
and
the
Proprietors
were
ruin'd
,
expell'd
,
imprison'd
,
chain'd
,
fetter'd
,
burned
,
hanged
,
beheaded
,
broken
on
Wheeles
,
hanged
alive
by
the
Feet
;
nay
,
these
are
but
Infant-Cruelties
,
in
the
very
Cradle
,
compar'd
to
the
Wrack
,
the
Trough
of
Water
,
Pulley
:
Barbarisms
far
exceeding
the
Bull
of
Phalaris
,
Regulus
his
nailed
Barrel
,
or
the
Tortures
of
the
most
bloody
and
arbitrary
Tyrants
among
Infidels
;
Cruelties
that
would
melt
a
Rock
,
and
so
inhuman
,
that
it
is
a
Crime
to
think
on
them
without
the
Tribute
of
a
Tear
:
nothing
was
to
be
seen
throughout
this
miserable
Country
but
Wheels
,
Gibbets
,
Stakes
,
Wracks
,
and
wretched
Objects
of
Pity
;
nothing
to
be
heard
but
the
cries
of
poor
Orphans
and
Widows
for
their
Parents
and
Husbands
,
the
Sons
living
a
deplorable
life
in
Woods
,
the
Daughters
and
Virgins
ravished
and
brutishly
used
,
beyond
all
Modesty
;
insomuch
that
Cruelty
in
a
Human
shape
could
not
have
been
more
outragious
and
destructive
,
then
these
modern
Pharaohs
.
The
Duke
d'Alva
,
that
Spunge
of
Belgian
blood
,
boasted
,
that
in
six
years
he
had
dispatch't
to
the
other
World
by
Course
of
Justice
,
at
least
18000
Belgians
,
and
yet
the
President
of
his
Council
said
,
that
he
quite
spoiled
the
Netherlanders
with
too
much
Clemency
and
Mercy
;
so
that
it
might
very
well
be
said
of
him
,
as
it
was
once
of
the
Roman
Emperour
Caligula
;
that
he
never
spared
Man
in
his
Rage
.
Nobility
,
Honor
,
Merit
,
Chastity
,
nor
any
Virtue
,
could
priviledge
the
Possessors
from
the
Wrack
,
Pulley
,
Gibbet
,
&c.
the
usual
Attendants
of
these
distressed
Souls
,
and
constantly
waited
on
their
Hearses
.
They
were
so
rigorously
us'd
by
these
Lords
Inquisitors
,
that
their
very
Thoughts
must
be
supprest
and
stifled
for
fear
of
Discovery
;
(
so
that
the
Proverb
fail'd
here
,
Thoughts
were
not
free
)
for
fear
of
the
same
misfortune
of
the
Knight
at
Rome
,
who
was
executed
for
putting
a
Dream
into
Words
;
Nay
,
the
Torments
of
some
were
warnings
to
all
;
witness
the
timorous
temper
of
Sevilian
,
who
had
a
fruitful
Pear-tree
growing
in
his
Garden
,
and
the
Inquisitors
requested
some
of
that
Fruit
;
but
he
for
fear
of
displeasing
them
,
pluckt
up
the
very
Tree
it self
by
the
Roots
,
and
freely
bestow'd
it
on
them
,
Fruit
and
Tree
and
all
.
I
will
conclude
this
Paragraph
,
with
the
saying
of
an
English
Knight
,
upon
another
occasion
;
if
all
Cruelties
were
lost
,
they
might
be
found
in
this
Inquisition
;
and
yet
this
was
settled
,
promoted
,
and
principally
managed
by
the
Religious
Clergy-man
,
Cardinal
Granvil
.
In
the
Reign
of
Otho
the
Emperour
,
Hatto
Bishop
of
Mentz
in
Germany
,
was
so
pitiful
to
the
Poor
,
that
in
a
time
of
great
Dearth
and
Want
,
he
assembled
a
great
Multitude
of
them
together
,
put
them
in
a
Barn
,
and
then
set
it
on
fire
and
burnt
them
;
justifying
his
inhuman
Action
,
with
as
inhuman
and
unepiscopal
an
Expression
,
That
they
differed
nothing
at
all
from
Rats
,
and
Vermin
that
devoured
the
Corn
,
and
consequently
were
good
for
nothing
.
But
,
he
that
sits
above
all
,
and
sees
all
,
sent
such
Troops
of
Rats
to
execute
his
Vengeance
,
that
they
eat
him
up
alive
;
though
he
thought
to
defend
himself
from
their
assaults
,
by
climbing
up
his
lofty
Tower
,
but
they
pursued
him
thither
,
and
never
left
hunting
him
from
Place
to
Place
,
till
they
had
dispatcht
and
devour'd
him
;
and
this
Place
is
called
the
Rats
Tower
to
this
very
day
.
And
yet
(
so
obdurate
are
some
Persons
in
their
Cruelty
)
notwithstanding
this
severe
Judgment
executed
upon
the
former
Miter'd
Offender
;
Herebert
,
Archbishop
of
Cologne
,
was
so
unhappy
,
as
to
be
related
to
a
Brother
,
Heir
of
the
like
Cruelty
to
the
Poor
,
in
the
like
Extremity
.
The
Cardinal
of
St.
Eustace
,
poysoned
Pope
Alexander
the
5th
,
who
might
rather
be
said
to
usurp
the
Papal
Throne
,
then
to
be
fairly
made
choice
of
,
and
elected
to
it
,
and
adopted
to
himself
the
name
of
John
the
23th
.
The
cruel
Prelate
of
Verdan
,
Phil
.
Comines
.
was
the
first
that
ever
shewed
King
Lewis
the
11th
,
the
Invention
of
Iron
Cages
;
and
for
a
reward
of
his
Mitred
Cruelty
,
was
justly
mewed
up
in
one
of
them
,
to
make
the
first
Experiment
of
the
Invention
,
and
confin'd
like
a
bloody
Bird
of
prey
,
to
that
Cage
for
14
years
together
.
As
to
their
Avarice
,
and
Covetousness
;
Pontanus
in
his
Book
of
Liberality
,
tells
you
,
that
one
Cardinal
Angelot
,
was
such
a
close-fisted
griping
Miser
,
that
he
would
creep
privately
by
night
into
his
own
Stable
,
and
steal
away
the
allowance
of
Hay
from
the
poor
Horses
;
which
he
so
constantly
us'd
,
that
his
resolute
,
and
bold
Horseler
took
heart
of
Grace
,
and
bang'd
him
well-favourdly
for
his
pains
.
It
is
reported
,
that
when
a
covetous
Prelate
begg'd
a
fat
Benefice
of
Lewis
the
12th
,
King
of
France
,
(
notwithstanding
the
Pluralities
he
already
enjoy'd
)
he
made
him
this
answer
,
Tot
dabo
tibi
,
quod
Diabolus
portabit
omnia
,
I
shall
give
thee
so
long
,
that
the
Devil
will
carry
all
away
at
last
.
As
to
the
leud
Lives
,
Fraud
and
Coveteousness
,
of
the
Popish
Clergy
;
there
is
a
standing
Monument
thereof
in
the
stone
walls
of
the
Library
at
Fulda
,
which
remains
still
to
their
Reproch
,
viz.
the
Picture
of
a
Wolf
with
a
shaven
Crown
,
a
Monk's
Cowle
,
leaning
on
a
Staff
,
and
preaching
to
a
company
of
Geese
,
and
this
is
his
Doctrin
;
Testis
est
mihi
Deus
quam
cupiam
vos
omnes
in
visceribus
meis
;
and
another
of
a
Cat
,
with
a
Miter
on
her
Head
,
and
a
Crosier
in
her
Paw
,
instructing
the
Mice
;
to
whom
one
of
the
most
apprehensive
of
those
diminutive
Animals
,
as
nimble
with
her
tongue
,
as
her
feet
said
;
Charius
est
mihi
ut
moriar
Paganus
,
quam
sub
vestra
manu
fiam
Christianus
;
but
crafty
Mrs.
Evans
suddenly
replies
,
Quod
fueram
non
sum
Frater
,
caput
aspice
tonsum
.
I
am
not
what
I
was
of
late
,
Brother
,
behold
my
shaven
Pate
.
But
she
rejoyns
,
Cor
tibi
restat
idem
,
vix
tibi
praesto
fidem
.
Thy
heart
's
the
same
as
formerly
;
Therefore
I
dare
not
credit
thee
.
These
Pictures
are
above
200
years
old
,
and
do
notably
discover
the
temper
of
the
Prelacy
,
and
are
not
a
whit
the
worse
,
because
Wicelius
calls
them
Lutheranissimas
,
but
the
better
.
As
to
their
Pride
,
Stupidity
and
blockish
Ignorance
;
It
is
recorded
in
History
,
of
the
Cardinal
of
Avignon
,
that
when
the
French
King
saw
the
Grandeur
,
State
,
and
Pomp
of
the
Popes
Court
,
and
the
Haughtiness
and
Pride
of
his
Cardinals
;
he
ask't
him
whether
the
Apostles
were
ever
lacquey'd
with
such
a
Train
at
their
heels
,
or
attended
by
such
a
numerous
Retinue
?
To
whom
he
answer'd
,
No
surely
Sir
.
But
you
must
understand
,
that
they
were
Apostles
,
when
Kings
were
Shepheards
,
that
's
the
reason
.
Arch-bishop
Parker
,
in
his
Antiq
.
Britan
.
saith
,
that
a
French
Bishop
,
being
to
take
his
Oath
before
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
met
with
the
word
Metropoliticae
,
which
he
could
by
no
means
Pronounce
,
so
ignorant
he
was
,
and
therefore
past
it
over
with
this
bald
expression
in
French
,
Soit
pour
dit
,
Let
it
be
so
said
or
spoken
;
so
be
it
.
He
was
a
wise
Bishop
indeed
,
(
as
wise
as
the
Fellow
that
put
out
the
Candle
,
that
the
Fleas
might
not
see
to
bite
and
sting
him
with
their
proboscis
,
)
who
commenced
a
Suit
with
his
Canons
,
which
prov'd
very
dilatory
,
but
he
at
last
overthrew
them
,
and
took
order
in
his
life
time
,
that
his
Tomb
should
not
lye
along
in
the
Church
as
others
do
,
but
stand
upright
,
for
fear
that
after
his
death
they
should
piss
upon
his
Body
by
way
of
revenge
.
A
pretty
Pastor
,
who
took
more
care
of
his
Body
while
living
,
than
of
the
state
of
his
Soul
after
death
.
Not
many
Years
ago
,
a
President
of
the
high
Court
of
Parliament
,
was
so
just
and
modest
as
to
beg
the
favour
of
a
Night's
Lodging
with
a
Lady
of
Quality
and
Honour
,
upon
which
Terms
he
promised
her
audience
,
the
Lady
having
at
that
time
a
Cause
depending
before
him
:
his
Name
I
will
conceal
,
but
withall
give
you
this
notice
of
him
,
that
it
was
the
same
Person
,
who
not
not
long
after
being
made
an
Abbot
,
wrote
a
severe
Book
against
the
Lutherans
(
which
he
dedicated
to
the
Pope
)
in
so
harsh
and
uncouth
a
Stile
,
that
his
Holiness
was
resolv'd
to
make
Cul-paper
of
it
;
for
going
one
day
to
the
Close-Stool
(
to
shew
as
Platina
says
,
that
he
is
subject
to
the
Necessities
and
Infirmities
of
Nature
as
well
as
other
Persons
)
to
ease
himself
,
brought
a
Disease
upon
himself
by
making
cleanly
use
of
a
Leaf
of
it
;
for
it
did
so
chafe
and
gall
his
Apostolick
Seat
,
that
he
lost
a
great
deal
of
Leather
,
and
was
as
sore
in
the
Fundament
as
he
could
have
been
in
the
Feet
,
had
his
Devotion
put
him
upon
the
Trott
in
a
Pilgrimage
to
Jerusalem
.
See
the
dire
Effects
of
crabbed
Latin
;
't
is
ten
times
worse
than
the
Piles
,
Hemorrhoids
or
Fistula
in
ano
;
but
I
'll
warrant
you
this
was
such
a
warning
to
him
,
that
his
Holiness
,
of
his
own
accord
,
and
for
his
own
good
,
without
the
Advice
of
a
Physician
,
did
forbear
ever
after
the
use
of
such
excoriating
Abstersives
.
This
Question
was
once
propos'd
in
a
Councel
,
An
sint
Episcopi
immediate
à
Christo
,
an
mediate
à
Pontifice
?
A
Reverend
Bishop
moved
with
it
,
made
this
learned
and
Christian
reply
,
Parcat
mihi
Dominus
Christus
,
non
sum
ab
ipso
.
Another
of
their
Reverend
Doctors
,
being
quite
baffled
and
beat
off
of
the
Stage
with
downright
Scripture
,
pleaded
this
as
an
excuse
,
Ego
non
sum
Theologus
,
Ego
sum
Canonicus
.
One
of
these
Reverendissimi
,
was
not
at
all
asham'd
to
declare
openly
his
admiration
,
that
such
young
Fellows
and
Boys
should
now
a
days
quote
the
new
Testament
,
per
diem
,
whereas
he
did
solemnly
and
truly
profess
,
that
he
was
fifty
years
of
Age
and
upward
before
he
was
so
wise
as
to
understand
what
the
New
Testament
meant
.
But
here
we
will
bid
adieu
to
these
Illustrissimos
,
and
pass
from
the
Cardinal's
red-Hat
,
to
the
Jesuits
black-Cap
;
which
I
fear
will
prove
more
mischievous
.
Take
but
a
view
of
some
of
their
Pranks
,
and
you
'l
find
them
as
expert
and
knowing
in
the
exquisite
Methods
of
crafty
and
circumventing
Wickedness
,
as
any
of
the
Popes
or
preceeding
Cardinals
.
As
to
the
name
of
Jesuit
,
it
breaths
nothing
but
health
and
prosperity
,
being
deriv'd
from
Jesus
;
but
as
to
the
nature
of
the
Persons
,
nothing
but
death
and
damnation
;
and
for
their
presumption
in
assuming
to
themselves
this
name
,
they
were
very
much
maligned
,
and
hated
at
first
,
and
that
was
the
reason
they
called
themselves
afterwards
Socios
Jesu
,
the
Companions
of
Jesus
.
Now
in
the
sacred
Writ
,
if
you
strictly
examine
it
throughout
,
you
will
find
only
one
,
and
that
a
goodly
one
,
that
was
call'd
Christ's
Companion
,
viz.
Judas
:
so
much
for
their
name
.
They
have
also
a
Nick-name
,
which
they
will
carry
to
their
Graves
.
When
they
first
negotiated
for
footing
in
Paris
,
they
demanded
what
they
were
,
whether
Seculars
or
Regulars
;
and
they
made
answer
,
Tales
Quales
,
Such
and
Such
;
a
Nick-name
,
which
they
will
ne're
be
able
to
claw
off
,
for
they
are
upbraided
with
it
to
this
very
day
.
The
Glorious
Patron
of
these
Popish
Janizaries
,
was
an
infirm
Enthusiastick
Spanish
Souldier
,
and
Cripple
;
and
they
,
in
imitation
of
him
,
their
first
founder
,
do
hault
lamely
ever
since
;
his
name
was
Ignatius
Loyola
,
who
being
a
Souldier
in
those
times
when
Ferdinand
of
Arragon
invaded
the
Kingdom
of
Navarr
,
and
opposed
King
John
de
Albret
,
whom
the
Pope
had
excommunicated
,
because
he
supplied
the
King
with
Succours
;
At
this
very
time
was
this
Loyola
a
Soldier
at
Pampelona
,
where
he
was
maimed
;
it
being
then
besieg'd
by
the
King
:
this
Patron
of
that
Holy
Order
resolv'd
to
erect
a
Society
of
Jesuits
,
which
should
be
able
from
that
time
forward
to
maintain
and
uphold
the
Usurpations
of
his
Holy
Master
,
and
to
promote
the
Power
of
the
unerring
Prelate
of
Rome
;
which
they
do
infinitely
prefer
beyond
the
Life
,
Honour
,
and
Good
of
Kings
:
to
which
purpose
these
Fauters
of
the
Popes
Power
have
a
peculiar
Vow
,
and
take
an
Oath
of
blind
Obedience
a
fourth
Vow
unknown
to
other
Orders
,
whereby
they
move
Subjects
against
their
Sovereigns
,
and
stirr
them
up
to
Rebellion
against
their
Lawful
Princes
.
Let
us
begin
with
their
Blasphemies
both
in
Expressions
and
Opinions
;
and
you
shall
find
them
very
bold
as
to
these
Particulars
.
These
are
they
that
infected
Ravilliac
,
that
monstrous
Assassine
,
with
these
and
the
like
Blasphemies
,
That
to
make
War
against
the
Pope
was
to
make
War
against
God
;
that
God
is
the
Pope
and
the
Pope
is
God
.
O
horrid
!
Lucianisme
is
modest
to
such
Christianisme
comparatively
.
These
are
the
Persons
who
blasphemously
substitute
another
God
on
Earth
besides
our
Holy
Father
in
Heaven
,
whom
they
stile
most
Holy
Father
,
and
separate
Jesus
Christ
from
his
Body
and
Spouse
,
the
Holy
Church
,
creating
him
a
Vicar-General
or
Vice-gerent
in
all
his
Kingdoms

What
shall
we
say
of
such
a
pack
of
Saints
as
these
.
The
Saracens
had
an
antient
Law
,
that
whosoever
should
blaspheme
the
name
of
Christ
,
or
the
Virgin
Mary
,
should
be
starved
to
death
between
two
Boards
.
Galeacius
,
a
Duke
,
hanged
a
Man
only
for
murmuring
aginst
him
.
And
the
Duke
of
Mantua
put
another
to
death
for
the
like
Offence
;
and
must
Blasphemy
against
the
Almighty
go
unpunish'd
in
such
pretended
Sanctimonious
Religiosi
as
these
Jesuits
seem
to
be
?
But
we
'll
leave
the
punishment
of
this
Crime
to
that
Lord
whose
Morto
is
,
Revenge
is
mine
.
Father
Garnett
the
Jesuit
,
one
of
the
Gun-powder-Plot
,
had
this
Question
put
to
him
by
the
Earl
of
Nottingham
,
Whether
if
any
one
should
confess
to
him
in
the
Morning
that
he
intended
to
murther
the
King
next
Evening
,
he
was
bound
in
Conscience
to
reveal
it
?
To
whom
he
answered
in
the
Negative
:
and
Binetus
,
another
of
the
Tribe
,
confirms
this
Opinion
,
in
these
words
to
Casaubon
;
Praestare
Reges
omnes
perire
,
quam
si
vel
semel
Confessionis
Sigillum
violaretur
;
Regem
enim
ait
humani
,
Juris
Imperium
esse
,
Confessionem
Juris
divini
.
Nay
farther
,
another
Jesuit
in
France
was
so
audacious
as
to
affirm
openly
;
Si
Dominus
noster
Jesus
Christus
in
Terris
versaretur
morti
obnoxius
,
et
aliquis
sibi
in
Confessione
dixisse
velle
se
illum
occidere
,
priusquam
Confessionem
revelaret
passurum
se
,
ut
Christus
occidatur
;
that
is
,
If
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
were
upon
Earth
,
Mortal
,
and
a
Person
should
Confess
to
him
,
that
he
would
kill
him
;
he
would
rather
suffer
our
Saviour
to
be
murthered
than
reveal
his
Confession
.
Nor
are
they
less
practised
in
horrid
Murthers
than
Blasphemies
.
't
was
a
young
stripling
of
this
Pious
Order
,
that
stabbed
Henry
the
Fourth
in
the
Mouth
with
his
Parricide
Knife
,
intending
his
Murther
,
tho
it
only
proved
the
loss
of
a
Tooth
;
which
moved
the
good
King
to
no
other
return
,
than
this
pleasant
Repartie
.
Falloit
il
que
les
Jesuistes
fussent
convanicus

ma

.
Must
the
Jesuits
be
confuted
by
my
own
Mouth
?
Hereupon
they
were
commanded
to
depart
the
Kingdom
by
a
certain
Day
,
and
a
new
Stone-Gallows
erected
before
the
Palace
Gate
for
the
Execution
of
the
Offender
;
(
tho
the
Parliaments
Decree
against
this
wicked
Act
was
made
null
at
Rome
,
)
and
afterwards
the
Pusillanimous
Prince
removed
it
out
of
fear
;
which
made
one
descant
wittily
upon
this
timorous
Action
of
the
King's
,
in
this
French
Quatrain
.

But
this
was
only
a
Prologue
to
the
ensuing
Tragedy
acted
by
Francis
Raviliac
,
born
at
Angoulesme
in
France
,
who
,
after
he
had
attempted
four
several
times
to
kill
the
King
,
tho
still
happily
prevented
,
began
that
day
with
Confession
,
and
seeming
Devotion
,
whereon
he
perpetrated
that
horrid
Murther
,
(
which
was
on
Friday
the
14th
of
May
,
An.
1610.
)
and
employed
the
remaining
part
to
follow
the
Kings
Coach
,
to
find
out
a
convenient
opportunity
,
which
he
met
with
at
last
,
to
the
great
damage
and
irreparable
loss
of
that
Kingdom
;
which
he
accomplisht
at
last
with
a
Stilletto
,
and
two
Stabs
in
the
side
,
near
the
Church
of
St.
Innocents
,
at
the
end
of
the
Street
of
Ferronnerie
,
the
King
being
in
his
Carosse
,
that
was
put
to
the
stand
by
the
stoppage
of
a
Coach
and
Cart
;
which
he
perceiving
,
being
then
in
a
shop
hard
by
,
waiting
the
good
hour
,
as
he
thought
,
came
out
and
killed
the
King
,
and
suffered
for
it
upon
a
Scaffold
,
in
the
usual
place
of
Execution
;
where
he
died
with
most
exquisite
and
deserved
Torments
.
All
which
was
done
by
the
Instigation
of
this
wicked
and
cruel
Society
.
They
perswaded
this
Monster
,
that
the
King
intended
to
make
War
against
the
Pope
,
and
that
to
make
War
against
him
,
was
a
Theomachy
,
or
open
War
with
the
Deity
;
and
there
was
found
about
him
a
Character
with
a
Heart
of
Cotton
hung
about
his
Neck
,
which
he
shewed
the
Jesuit
D'
Aubinie
,
who
confessed
him
and
the
Knife
,
whereon
was
ingraven
a
Heart
and
a
Cross
;
and
that
which
was
one
occasion
of
this
barbarous
Fact
,
was
,
That
these
Persons
of
the
Popes
Party
had
published
throughout
the
whole
Kingdom
,
that
whosoever
should
serve
Henry
the
Fourth
in
these
Wars
,
tho
he
was
their
Lawful
and
undoubted
King
,
could
not
avoid
damnation
.
The
Gun-powder
Plot
was
another
Jesuitical
Contrivance
.
The
Provincial
,
Father
Garnet
,
was
privy
to
it
in
its
very
infancy
,
so
were
others
of
that
Society
,
as
Baldwin
,
Hammond
,
Tesmund
and
Gerard
,
who
were
all
particularly
named
by
the
Conspirators
in
their
Confessions
.
A
Fact
of
that
dreadful
Consequence
,
had
it
taken
effect
,
and
so
heinous
in
it self
,
that
Garnet
the
Jesuite
said
himself
before
Doctor
Overal
and
others
,
That
he
would
give
all
the
world
,
were
it
at
his
disposal
,
to
clear
his
Conscience
or
Name
from
that
hateful
Treason
.
Yet
when
it
did
miscarry
,
many
of
that
Society
had
a
Religious
Veneration
for
these
Irreligious
Wretches
who
were
deeply
engaged
in
it
.
What
a
Coil
was
there
about
the
feigned
Miracle
of
Garnet's
Structure
!
and
his
Picture
,
as
well
as
Gerard's
,
was
to
be
seen
at
la
Fleche
,
and
other
Places
among
the
Martyrs
of
that
Society
.
In
the
Town
of
Dole
towards
Lorrain
,
the
Jesuits
have
a
great
House
given
them
,
called
L'arc
,
and
Henry
the
Fourth
gave
them
la
Fleche
,
upon
the
River
Loire
,
two
stately
Covents
,
among
many
other
Houses
for
change
,
which
they
have
,
(
see
the
gratitude
of
these
Villains
,
to
be
the
Death
of
their
princely
Patron
)
tho
this
latter
may
be
called
a
Quiver
,
containing
8000
poysoned
Shafts
of
all
sizes
;
hereupon
their
Ferrier
played
upon
them
this
merry
Distich
;

But

Nay
,
his
Holiness
himself
,
Pope
Clement
the
8th
,
who
first
promoted
this
Treason
by
his
Breves
,
did
sufficiently
testifie
his
good
Will
towards
them
,
by
making
the
Jesuit
Tesmund

at

in

,
after
the
discovery
of
this
H●rrid
Plot

this
Circumstance
ought
not

may

he
hath
not
done
a
thing
which
is
really
done
by
him

by

that
he
did
it
not
on

a

says
the

and
for
Encouragement
of
those
who
have
wicked
craft
enough
to

with

,
he
alledgeth
,
That
to
avoid
Lying
no
more
is
required
,
than
to
say
simply
,
they
have
not
done
that
which
in
truth
they
have
,
provided
they
have
a
general
Intention
to
stamp
the
sence
upon
their
Discourse
,
which
a
Prudent
and
Discreet
Person
would
do
.
And
indeed
these
their
Equivocations
did
insert
,
that
Clause
in
the
Oath
of
Supremacy
among
us
here
in
England
,
Without
mental
Reservation
.
And
this
doubtless
was
the
Reason
that
moved
one
to
bestow
on
them
that
so
much
merited
Title
,
calling
them
Concinnatores

,
the

of

,
their

not

can
cross

,
but
his
,
or
her
name
is
landed
before
hand
in
the
Jesuits
Register
.
It
was
not
without
cause
,
that
their
Mecaenas
and

,
Philip
the
second
,
King
of

,
baptized

did
tell
Don

,
(
a
noted
Jesuit
,
who
endeavoured
to
be

very
plainly

this
their

for

gain
,
and
polling
the
rest
of
the

one
of

And
for

a

says
,
that
they
want
no

:
what
by
traducing
our

abroad
,
and
feducing
our

at

,
their

are
full
of

,

for

Parson
cannot
make
so
much
of

whole

Harvest
as
one
Jesuit
can
get
by
an
hours
single
Confession

When

a
Complaint

that

upon

to
part

of

for

so
covetous
they
were
as
by
their
good
will
to
part
with
nothing
that
once
came
into
their
Clutches
,
)
he
gave
them
this
witty
and
undeniable
answer
,
Those
men
who
believe
the

Infallibility
,
as
you
do
,
must
by
no

complain

him

Father

found
this
not
to
be
the
least
of
fifty
two
Complaints
which
he
made

Africk
is
at
the
best
but
barren
of
Novelties
,
if
compared
to
Rome
;
and
yet
the
World
of
Protestants
must
be
branded
with
Incredulity
,
if
they
will
not
be
gull'd
by
their
pious
Frauds
;
but
let
them
remember
,
if
they
are
at
leisure
,
that
simulata
Sanctitas
est
duplex
Iniquitas
;
Counterfeit
Sanctity
is
double
Iniquity
,
and
one
sin
is
made
two
,
when
once
defended
;
Nay
,
it
is
more
than
feared
,
that
they
will
not
want
Diabolical
Delusions
,
and
Hellish
Incantations
,
rather
than
lose
a
Proselite
;
which
are
so
gross
,
and
frequently
put
in
practice
among
them
,
that
it
hath
puzled
the
best
Casuists
to
make
a
difference
between
their
Magick
and
that
which
is
Diabolical
.
Hence
it
is
that
some
of
our
weak
People
have
been
frightned
out
of
the
World
upon
their
Death-Beds
,
and
scared
into
the
Religion
of
Roman
Catholicks
.
Take
this
notable
instance
,
among
many
other
,
from
a
famous
Divine
in
France
,
second
to
none
for
Learning
and
Fidelity
,
who
related
it
with
his
own
mouth
,
and
his
own
certain
Knowledge
and
Experience
.
A
Gentleman
of
the
Religion
,
whose
Wife
was
one
of
the
Popish
Frie
,
sends
for
his
own
Pastor
to
discourse
with
him
,
being
upon
his
last
bed
of
Sickness
,
and
ready
to
depart
;
she
likewise
appoints
a
Jesuit
to
be
there
,
who
appears
accordingly
,
and
both
meet
at
the
Bed'sside
;
both
plead
for
their
own
different
Religion
,
and
perswade
the
Man
to
come
over
to
their
Party
,
but
after
two
hours
smart
Disputation
at
the
Bar
,
before
these
Judges
,
the
Gentleman
was
very
well
satisfied
with
the
Religion
that
he
had
hitherto
embraced
,
and
his
Consort
also
,
by
the
prevalence
of
the
Protestants
Arguments
,
began
to
incline
to
his
Judgement
.
The
Jesuit
finding
himself
foil'd
,
went
away
discontented
,
but
returns
a
few
hours
after
,
when
the
storm
was
blown
over
,
and
the
Coast
clear
,
desiring
a
private
Conference
with
the
Gentlewoman
,
which
was
granted
;
and
her
Garden
was
the
Scene
appointed
for
the
ensuing
Tragedy
,
where
they
took
a
turn
or
two
together
,
and
the
Jesuit
very
earnestly
expostulated
with
her
,
and
used
all
the
perswasive
and
inclining
Arguments
imaginable
,
to
keep
her
from
that
supposed
and
falsely
termed
Defection
from
the
Truth
,
viz.
the
change
of
Religion
;
and
in
the
close
of
all
his
Discourse
,
did
very
much
importune
her
to
do
him
that
signal
Favour
,
as
to
accept
of
a
little
Box
,
(
like
Pandor'as
,
as
it
fell
out
)
which
he
then
and
there
presented
to
her
,
and
to
wear
it
constantly
about
her
for
his
sake
;
which
she
received
as
innocently
as
courteously
,
little
dreaming
of
the
ensuing
mischief
that
after
befell
her
;
for
she
no
sooner
had
followed
his
direction
,
on
,
but
she
fell
into
so
great
and
absolute
a
Detestation
of
her
Husband
,
that
she
could
never
endure
the
sight
of
him
afterwards
;
and
within
two
days
died
in
this
miserable
condition
:
an
Act
fitter
for
the
sharp
Sword
of
revenging
Justice
,
than
the
Pen
of
an

.

These

All

I
did
not
promise
you
,
as
I
remember
,
to
give
you
an
Essay
of
Jesuitical
Piquancy
,
but
yet
if
you
please
,
take
this
as
an
Argument
of
their
pregnant
Wit
,
related
by
the
deceased
Author
of
the
Holy
State
;
who
speaking
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
stiles
her
deservedly
,
the
Paragon
of
spotless
Chastity
,
whatever
some
Popish
Priests
(
who
count
all
Virginity
hid
under
a
Nun's
Veile
,
)
have
feigned
to
the
contrary
.
He
proceeds
farther
,
and
says
,
One
Jesuit
made
this
false
Anagram
on
her
,
Edmund
Campian
by
name
,
Elizabeth
,
Jezabel
,
false
both
in
matter
and
manner
;
for
allow
it
the
abatement
of
the
H
(
as
all
Anagrams
must
Sue
in
Chancery
for
moderate
favour
)
which
proved
tho
no
Letter
,
a
guttural
aspiration
to
the
Composer
,
yet
was
it
both
unequal
and
ominous
that
T
,
a
solid
Letter
,
should
be
omitted
;
the
Presage
of
the
Gallows
,
whereon
the
Anagrammatist
was
afterwards
justly
executed
.
When
Flies
grow
once
so
blind
as
to
play
with
the
Candle
,
they
either
sindge
their
wings
,
or
burn
themselves
,
and
when
ill-boading
Ravens
dare
be
so
haughty
and
proud
,
as
to
fly
at
the
Eagle
,
the
King
of
Birds
,
may
they
all
have
the
same
fate
as
the
Brother
of
this
Jesuitical
breed
before
mentioned
.
Now
let
us
anatomize
and
dissect
the
Members
of
this
Catholick
,
and
Universal
Head
of
the
Church
,
and
see
how
they
stand
affected
,
whether
they
are
fit
for
Physick
or
Amputation
.
Of
their
Priests
,
Friars
,
Nuns
,
and
Laymen
.
WE
will
still
continue
our
Method
,
and
begin
with
the
Blasphemies
,
Oaths
,
and
Execrations
,
of
the
inferiour
Clergy
,
the
Monks
and
Friars
,
those
Cannibals
of
the
Crucifix
.
Italy
abounds
in
Blasphemies
more
than
any
other
Country
,
and
therein
the
Clergy
are
far
better
Proficients
than
the
Laity
,
or
else
,
He
swears
like
an
Abbot
,
would
not
be
Proverbial
.
Nor
do
I
think
as
it
is
,
that
is
to
be
matcht
that
was
belch'd
out
by
a
Priest
at
Rome
,
Al
dispetto
di
quel
Can
che
pendeva
nella
croce
.
I
forbear
the
English
of
it
,
because
't
is
so
horrid
an
Expression
;
and
what
should
move
him
to
this
think
you
?
Nothing
,
as
he
confess'd
,
but
that
his
Strumpet
had
played
him
a
slippery
Trick
;
as
if
there
were
no
way
to
be
even
with
his
Whore
,
but
to
revile
his
God
.
A
ghostly
Father
Preaching
at
Tours
in
France
,
said
,
These
Hugonots
are
so
impudently
wicked
,
as
to
renounce
the
Pope
,
and
his
Authority
;
but
I
'll
be
bold
to
tell
you
,
that
if
Christ
and
the
Pope
were
both
here
upon
Earth
,
and
the
one
should
command
me
to
do
a
Thing
,
and
the
other
forbid
me
,
I
would
sooner
obey
the
Pope
than
Christ
.
An
Italian
Preacher
broacht
this
blasphemous
Doctrine
in
the
Pulpit
before
a
great
Auditory
;
that
the
Virgin
Mary
would
have
crucified
our
Saviour
,
rather
than
he
should
go
without
Crucifixion
;
strengthning
his
blasphemous
Discourse
with
this
strange
Allegation
,
that
it
did
proceed
from
the
longing
desire
that
his
blessed
Mother
had
to
hasten
the
Salvation
of
Mankind
.
There
is
another
story
related
by
the
same
Priest
,
much
of
the
same
nature
;
That
the
Apostles
drew
up
Articles
of
Impeachment
against
Christ
,
and
presented
them
to
his
Mother
,
complaining
that
he
was
not
as
good
as
his
word
in
sending
the
Holy
Ghost
upon
them
,
and
that
there
was
a
Dissention
between
the
Father
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
who
feared
to
descend
from
Heaven
,
and
come
into
the
World
,
lest
he
should
have
the
same
course
Entertainment
as
our
Saviour
had
from
the
murthering
Jews
.
Another
Priest
,
by
relating
the
Agony
that
our
Saviour
endured
at
his
painful
and
shameful
Death
on
the
Cross
,
drew
Rivulets
of
Tears
from
the
Eyes
of
his
compassionate
Auditory
,
but
he
dried
up
all
their
Sorrow
with
this
point
of
Consolation
,
Weep
not
my
Beloved
,
for
perhaps
it
is
not
true
.
But
the
Devil
himself
with
all
his
Hellish
Assistance
could
never
invent
such
Blasphemies
as
are
found
in
the
Book
of
Conformities
,
printed
at
Milain
by
Gotard
Pontice
,
Anno
1510.
As
that
Christ
changed
Water
into
Wine
but
once
,
St.
Francis
thrice
,
Christ
felt
the
Pain
of
his
Wounds
but
a
small
time
,
St.
Francis
two
whole
Years
compleat
.
As
for
Miracles
,
Christ
did
nothing
comparatively
to
St.
Francis
:
for
he
cured
a
1000
Blind
,
and
as
many
Lame
,
both
Beasts
and
Men
;
cast
out
1000
Daemoniacks
,
and
raised
above
1000
from
the
Dead
.

Let
us
make
Man
&c.
That
is
St.
Francis
:
so
that
there
is
not
so
much
as
one
Text
in
the
Holy
Writ
,
from
the
first
of
Genesis
to
the
last
of
the
Revelation
,
which
they
have
not
wrested
to
magnifie
the
Order
of
St.
Francis
;
but
I
am
tired
with
these
Blasphemous
Rodomontadoes
,
therefore
I
refer
you
to
the
Book
it self
,
if
you
desire
farther
Satisfaction
as
to
Particulars
.
Nilco
Postel
preaching
at
Paris
,
told
them
,
in
the
very
Face
of
the
University
,
that
an
old
Beldame
(
whom
he
called
his
Mother
Joan
)
should
save
all
Women
,
as
Christ
did
all
Men
;
and
as
horrid
as
these
Opinions
were
,
he
found
many
Catholicks
that
embraced
them
,
all
which
he
published
in
Print
.
This
same
Person
was
heard
by
several
at
the
Rialto
in
Venice
to
affirm
,
that
if
a
Man
would
have
a
perfect
Religion
,
these
three
Ingredients
must
necessarily
go
to
its
Composition
,
Christianism
,
Judaism
,
and
Mahometism
;
and
that
upon
serious
consideration
there
would
appear
to
be
many
excellent
Doctrines
in
the
Turkish
Alcoran
.
If
Treason
against
an
earthly
King
is
Capital
,
then
doubtless
à
fortiori
,
Blasphemy
against
the
King
of
Kings
deserves
Death
much
more
.
In
most
Places
of
Italy
these
are
but
inconsiderable
and
poor
Imprecations
:
Te
venga
'
l
Cancaro
,
and
at
Venice
,
Te
venga
la
Ghiandussa
,
Te
vengal
mal
di
san
Lazaro
.
I
omit
Putana
di
Christo
,
and
others
of
the
like
strain
,
as
frequent
as
horrible
;
and
the
French
have
taken
some
of
them
upon
trust
,
as
Te
viene
le
chancre
,
a
Murrain
on
thee
.
In
France
they
have
certain
Curses
peculiar
to
their
Language
;
Ad
omnes
Diabolos
,
ad
triginta
Mille
Diabolos
,
used
by
Preachers
in
such
barbarous
Latin
,
taken
from
the
French
,
who
say
,
Je
te
donnea

ou
quarante

or
forty

falsly
fathers
this
Curse
on
St.
Paul
,
who
hearing
of
one
that
had
committed
Fornication
,
said
presently
,
I
give
him
over
to
the
Devils
in
Hell
.
He
saith
farther
,
fol.
47.
of
one
of
the
two
Harlots
,
that
she
would
swear
by
her
Faith
.
They
have
several
ways
of
bequeathing
themselves
to
the
Devil
(
as
if
one
were
not
enuf
,
or
indeed
too
much
)
Body
,
Soul
,
and
Guts
;
that
no
part
may
escape
his
Clutches
,
they
make
sure
of
all
.
Nor
are
the
Laity
so
far
exempted
from
these
Vices
,
but
that
they
have
a
spice
of
them
;
witness
one
of
the
Kings
of
Spain
,
who
having
had
divers
ill
successes
,
swore
he
would
be
reveng'd
on
the
Deity
,
and
therefore
commanded
that
none
of
his
Subjects
should
adore
God
,
believe
in
him
,
or
mention
his
name
for
a
certain
time
by
him
limited
and
appointed
,
without
incurring
a
great
penalty
,
and
his
high
displeasure
.
A
certain
Gamester
losing
at
Cards
,
did
curse
and
swear
most
desperately
for
his
loss
,
and
commanded
his
Servant
to
assist
him
in
Curses
,
Oaths
,
and
Execrations
,
till
his
fortune
should
alter
and
he
have
better
luck
.
A
Secular
person
,
as
he
was
playing
at
Cards
in
the
French
Ambassadors
House
at
Venice
,
belcht
forth
this
Oath
;
Venga'l
cancaro
al
Lupo
.
Why
?
What
hurt
in
all
this
?
Aye
but
his
Villany
was
manifested
afterwards
,
because
he
spake
it
by
the
Figure
called
Aposcopesis
or
Reticentia
;
instead
of
Venga'l
cancaro
al
Lupo
,
che
non
mangiava
Christo
quando
era
Agnello
,
calling
Christ
Agnello
,
in
allusion
to
that
of
St.
John
;
Ecce
Agnus
Dei
qui
tollit
,
&c.
As
also
the
Blasphemy
of
the
Italian
,
who
frequently
said
,
A
Bots
on
the
Ass
that
carried
Christ
to
Jerusalem
.
The
Italian
Lord
who
had
his
Passport
to
the
other
World
by
a
Pistol-shot
,
being
desired
to
commend
his
Soul
to
God
,
beg'd
of
them
to
recommend
him
to
the
King
,
and
withal
to
acquaint
him
,
that
he
had
lost
a
very
good
Servant
,
saying
;
that
he
had
often
made
it
his
business
to
believe
in
God
,
but
could
not
;
and
withal
was
so
Blasphemous
as
to
add
farther
,
that
God
dealt
very
unjustly
with
Man
in
condemning
him
for
a
peice
of
an
Apple
;
and
that
all
he
had
learned
by
the
New
Testament
was
,
that
Joseph
was
a
very
idle
Fellow
,
for
not
being
jealous
of
his
Wife
;
he
being
well
stricken
in
Years
,
and
she
so
youthful
.
Nor
must
I
omit
that
hellish
Court-Curse
,
which
is
as
common
as
Flies
in
Armenia
,
I
would
I
might
F
—
with
such
a
Lady
,
or
Gentlewoman

pain
of
Damnation

the
Lechery

Whoredom

and
Sodomy
of

ITaly
above
all
places
abounds
in
these
Vices
,
insomuch
that
it
is
a
common
saying
;
Jamais

And
Mr.
Ascham
,
in
his
Preface
to
his
Schoolmaster
,
did
return
thanks
to
God
that
he
was
but
nine
days
in
Italy
,
during
which
time
he
saw
in
one
City
of
Venice
more
liberty
to
sin
,
than
in
London
he
ever
heard
of
in
as
many
Years
.
John
Haywood
,
our
old
Epigrammatist
,
told
Queen
Mary
very
boldly
,
that
her
Clergy
was
very
sawcy
,
and
if
they
had
not
Wives
,
they
would
have
their
Lemans

had
three
wicked
Daughters
,
Pride
,
Covetousness

Lechery
,
answered
very
briskly
,
Well
be
it
so
,
if
I
have
,
I
cannot
better
match
them
than
with
the
Templers
,
Fathers
and
Friars
.
If
a
Priest
be
at
any
time
found
wantonly
kissing
a
Woman
,
the
usual
excuse
is
,
it
was
but
to
imprint
a
Blessing
upon
her
Lips
.
It
was
once
seriously
debated
,
which
was
the
best
way
to
furnish
Henry
the
Second
with
Mony
.
His
Jester
,
seeing
his
Master
at
a
great
Loss
,
proposed
this
rational
way
,
viz.
that
he
should
command
all
the
Monks
Beds
to
be
sold
,
and
the
Mony
to
be
brought
in
to
him
.
To
which
the
King
replied
,
where
must
the
Monks
then
lye
?
O
,
said
the
Jester
,
with
the
Nuns
;
Alas
!
said
the
King
,
thou
art
mistaken
;
there
are
not
near
so
many
Nuns
as
Monks
.
And
please
your
Majesty
,
said
he
,
every
Nun
can
lodge
half
a
dozen
Monks
at
the
least
,
for
her
own
share
.
't
is
a
known
Story
of
the
two
Franciscans
who
(
because
they
are
a
Crew
of
beggarly
Fellows
,
The
Queen
of
Navarr's
Relations

never
carry
any
mony
about
them
)
passed
over
a
Ferry
,
and
not
being
able
to
pay
their
Passage
,
would
have
ravish'd
the
Ferry
Woman
in
part
of
Satisfaction
,
till
they
were
enabled
to
Pay
her
her
fare
;
a
cunning
new
way
to
pay
old
Debts
.
Old
Bromiar
tells
you
,
that
a
Ghost
appeared
to
a
Popish
Priest
,
and
said
,
there
came
daily
so
many
Priests
to
Hell
,
as
he
thought
verily
there
had
been
no
more
upon
Earth
.
Poggius
the
Florentine
reports
,
that
Ausimerius
,
an
Eremite
of
Padua
,
who
lived
in
the
reign
of
Francis
the
7th
,
Duke
of
that
City
,
had
the
reputation
of
a
Pious
and
godly
Man
,
till
he
was
detected
for
corrupting
and
defiling
many
Women
of
Noble
Extract
,
especially
under
the
specious
and
Religious
colour
of
sacred
Confession
;
hereupon
he
was
brought
to
Trial
before
the
Duke
,
who
ordered
his
Secretary
to
take
a
Catalogue
of
the
names
of
the
married
Women
that
he
had
gallanted
;
and
after
a
tedious
enumeration
of
many
Persons
of
quality
that
frequented
the
Duke's
Palace
,
the
Secretary
still
pressed
him
to
a
farther
Confession
,
whereat
the
poor
Soul
fetching
a
deep
,
but
counterfeit
Sigh
,
said
,
Why
then
Sir
,
since
you
are
so
urgent
,
pray
set
down
your
own
Wife
in
the
number
,
which
sudden
and
unexpected
Answer
,
did
so
surprise
the
Secretary
with
Astonishment
,
that
the
Pen
fell
out
of
his
hand
,
and
the
Duke
at
the
rehersal
of
the
Story
was
almost
resolved
into
Laughter
:
These
tricks
are
so
frequent
among
them
,
that
't

commonly
said
as
a
Proverb
;
An

In

called
Cherves
,
a
reputed
Maid
,
Sister
to
the
Curate
of
the
Parish
,
who
,
because
she
was
accounted
a
holy
Virgin
,
spread
a
Rumour
abroad
among
the
credulous
People
,
that
she
was
a
second
Virgin
Mary
,
and
was
impregnated
by
the
holy
Ghost
:
(
O
execrable
Blasphemy
!
)
But
Charles
Earl
of
Angoulesme
,
and
Father
to
King
Francis
the
First
,
hearing
of
it
,
did
imagine
there
was
some
packing
and
gross
villany
in
the
Business
,
and
took
order
for
a
more
strict
examination
of
this
Wench
,
who
was
about
13
years
of
Age
:
The
Court
where
she
was
summond
to
appear
to
make
her
defence
,
did
adjure
her
,
as
well
as
her
Brother
,
to
reveal
the
Truth
,
upon
her
Salvation
,
and
being
sworn
,
she
used
this
form
of
Affidavit
;
I
take
the
Body
of
our
Lord
here
present
,
upon
my
Salvation
,
before
you
my
Masters
,
and
you
my
Brother
,
that
never
Man
had
any
Carnal
knowledge
of
me
more
than
you
;
and
so
received
the
Eucharist
.
Having
taken
this
Oath
,
as
you
have
heard
,
they
related
the
particulars
of
her
Process
to
the
Earl
,
who
hearing
it
,
thought
on
what
they
never
dreamt
of
,
that
she
had
great
reason
to
use
that
form
of
words
,
That
never
man
touched
her
more
than
her
Brother
,
and
took
it
for
granted
,
that
he
had
raised
her
Belly
;
whereupon
he
commanded
them
to
return
and
imprison
the
Curate
,
who
upon
his
Commitment
confessed
the
Fact
;
his
Sister
in
few
days
lost
her
Tympany
,
and
was
delivered
of
a
Child
,
and
both
of
them
were
condemned
to
be
Burnt
,
which
Sentence
was
accordingly
executed
;
and
't
was
favourable
enough
too
,
considering
the
horrid
Blasphemy
and
Perjury
of
the
Criminals
.
A
certain
Curate
,
not
far
from
Vienna
in
Daulphine
,
being
taken
in
the
Act
with
a
notorious
Strumpet
(
who
had
often
prostituted
her self
to
his
dissolute
Embraces
)
behind
the
High
Altar
;
and
that
on
good
Friday
too
,
an
aggravating
Circumstance
;
the
worthy
Bishop
of
that
Diocess
,
was
to
inflict
a
Punishment
on
him
for
this
heinous
Crime
,
and
it
was
a
merry
one
indeed
,
viz.
to
sing
Mass
for
a
certain
time
;
but
the
compassionate
Legate
of
Avignon
,
thought
the
Priest
was
too
severely
dealt
with
,
and
discharged
him
from
that
rigid
Sentence
,
which
encouraged
the
holy
Man
to
play
his
tricks
more
frequently
with
the
same
Harlot
,
and
in
the
same
Place
,
than
formerly
;
thus
to
advance
their
sensual
Delight
,
these
Clergy-men
make
Religion
and
Holiness
,
a
Bawd
to
their
own
lascivious
Wickedness
.
Methinks
they
should
be
more
wary
to
observe
the
old
Rule
;
Si
non
casté
tamen
cautè
;
and
not
affront
the
Meridian
Sun
with
their
Noon
days
Impieties
;
and
this
was
the
cause
of
that
sporting
reason
that
one
gave
why
ghostly
Fathers
are
called
Beaux
Peres
,
because
,
said
he
,
they
get
Children
at
the
High
Altar
.
Thomas
of
Abington
,
a
lascivious
Friar
,
could
not
be
satisfied
with
the
Use
of
three
Concubines
,
but
he
must
be
incestuous
,
(
as
if
single
Fornication
were
a
small
matter
)
for
he
had
two
Children
by
his
own
Sister
;
nay
,
some
Friars
and
Monks
have
maintained
twenty
Whores
at
one
time
:
a
fine
Crew
indeed
,
able
to
fill
a
pretty
Seraglio
.
Berenger
,
an
Italian
Marquess
,
entertained
a
Chaplain
in
his
House
,
as
Persons
of
his
Quality
usually
do
,
to
perform
the
Duties
of
the
Family
,
as
to
their
Devotion
,
for
which
he
had
a
competency
becoming
one
of
his
Coat
,
and
to
gratifie
his
Lord
,
lay
with
his
Lady
;
and
tho
he
was
but
a
mere
Dandiprat
,
as
deformed
in
Body
,
as
in
mind
,
yet
she
notwithstanding
the
Nobility
of
her
Race
,
run
the
risco
of
so
ignoble
an
Action
;
but
he
had
his
merited
Compensation
at
last
,
which
spoil'd
his
sport
for
the
Future
,
for
being
discovered
by
the
barking
of
an
unlucky
House
Dog
,
he
was
taken
,
stript
stark
naked
,
and
had
his
impetuous
Nerve
amputated
for
the
Offence
.
This
hapned
in
the
time
of
Pope
Steven
the
Eighth
,
about
the
year
941.
A
Butcher
of
Strasbourg
in
Germany
,
by
a
strange
accident
lost
his
Wife
,
and
not
hearing
the
least
syllable
of
her
in
a
long
time
concluded
she
was
Dead
,
and
so
she
was
to
him
in
truth
,
tho
not
to
the
Franciscans
,
who
kept
her
at
Bed
and
Board
;
an
Order
so
much
extoll'd
for
their
Sanctimony
and
Piety
;
but
he
found
that
there
was
a
Franiscan
Novice
,
who
came
daily
to
the
Shambles
accompanied
with
a
ghostly
Father
,
which
the
Butcher
thought
did
so
resemble
his
Wife
,
that
he
would
often
say
,
were
he
not
perswaded
that
his
Wife
was
dead
,
he
should
swear
it
were
she
.
In
fine
,
she
proved
to
be
what
he
thought
her
,
his
Wife
indeed
,
which
being
discovered
,
and
made
known
to
the
Civil
Magistrate
,
not
only
the
Franciscans
,
but
the
other
Monks
and
all
the
wicked
rabble
of
lascivious
Priests
were
deservedly
expell'd
the
City
.
A
Franciscan
lodging
in
a
Gentleman's
House
of
Perigort
,
The
Queen
of
Navarr's
Relation
who
was
his
Confessor
,
and
very
intimate
with
him
,
being
privy
to
all
his
Secrets
,
by
that
Religious
Cheat
of
auricular
Confession
,
whereby
he
came
to
understand
the
Gentleman
had
a
design
to
bed
his
Wife
that
Night
,
who
had
layn
in
but
three
weeks
before
;
which
the
Confessor
perswaded
him
to
,
only
for
his
own
wanton
ends
:
for
when
Night
approach'd
,
the
Friar
anticipated
him
,
went
to
Bed
to
his
Wife
,
and
enjoyed
her
,
who
departed
immediately
after
he
had
satisfied
his
Lust
,
as
mute
as
a
Fish
,
not
so
much
as
opening
his
lips
,
and
went
out
of
the
Door
,
which
the
Porter
took
notice
of
;
Presently
after
in
comes
her
Husband
at
the
time
appointed
,
who
thinking
it
was
he
that
accompanied
her
before
,
could
not
forbear
discovering
it
;
whereupon
he
suspected
the
Friar
had
play'd
him
that
slippery
trick
,
and
finding
him
out
of
his
Chamber
,
and
the
Porter
confirming
his
departure
,
he
was
satsfied
't
was
he
,
went
back
to
his
Wife
and
acquainted
her
with
the
circumstances
of
the
Story
:
and
so
left
her
,
to
pursue
the
Franciscan
;
but
his
Wife
being
alone
,
and
extreamly
perplex'd
,
to
rid
her self
of
that
trouble
that
was
upon
Spirit
,
hanged
her self
;
but
whilst
she
was
strugling
with
the
pangs
of
Death
,
killed
a
little
Infant
that
was
by
her
with
a
Blow
of
her
Foot
,
which
cried
out
so
vehemently
before
Death
,
that
a
Woman
who
lay
in
the
Chamber
was
awakened
with
the
noise
:
and
seeing
these
miserable
Spectacles
,
went
and
acquainted
her
Mistrisse's
Brother
therewith
,
who
asked
her
what
Villain
committed
that
butcherly
Fact
?
she
not
being
able
to
satisfie
him
with
the
Author
of
it
,
only
said
,
she
knew
of
no
body
that
was
there
but
her
Master
.
He
seeks
for
him
,
but
finds
him
not
,
which
did
very
much
confirm
him
in
the
opinion
,
that
he
was
guilty
of
the
Murther
.
He
follows
him
,
over
takes
him
,
assaults
him
with
a
whole
Volley
of
villanous
Names
,
draws
upon
him
so
suddenly
,
that
his
Brother
in
Law
had
no
time
to
ask
him
his
Reason
;
so
they
fought
desperately
,
and
so
long
,
that
at
last
being
tir'd
out
,
they
desisted
by
consent
,
and
then
making
inquiry
into
the
cause
of
this
furious
and
unexpected
Rencontre
,
he
understood
the
Franciscan
occasioned
all
this
Mischief
;
his
Brother
that
pursued
him
,
crav'd
his
Pardon
for
fighting
and
wounding
him
,
and
mounting
him
on
his
Horse
,
conducted
him
to
his
own
Apartment
,
where
he
died
the
next
Morning
,
freely
forgiving
his
Brother
in
Law
,
and
acknowledging
to
his
Relations
,
that
he
was
the
sole
cause
of
his
own
Death
;
but
his
Brother
,
to
satisfie
the
Law
,
sued
out
his
Pardon
,
which
was
granted
him
by
King
Francis
the
First
.
See
the
pregnant
mischiefs
,
and
complicated
Crimes
that
did
accompany
the
Furtiva
Gaudia
,
the
stollen
sweets
,
or
adulterous
action
of
a
Religious
Franciscan
.
If
this
be
their
Religion
and
Piety
,
what
must
their
Irreligion
and
Impiety
be
,
and
what
dangerous
effects
must
attend
it
?
It
is
storied
of
a
Priest
,
that
a
Catholick
coming
to
holy
Shrift
,
shook
his
head
at
the
thought
of
his
Crimes
which
he
was
to
Confess
,
but
the
Priest
finding
him
somewhat
disturbed
,
perswaded
him
to
a
free
Declaration
of
his
Sins
in
order
to
his
Absolution
;
at
last
he
told
him
,
with
much
adoe
,
that
he
had
deflowr'd
a
Virgin
.
Pish
,
said
the
Priest
,
If
that
be
all
;
Innocentum
docuisti
,
Thou
hast
instructed
an
innocent
Person
.
Oh!
but
Sir
,
said
he
,
I
have
committed
a
greater
Crime
.
What
's
that
?
Why
,
I
have
bedded
my
Neighbour's
Wife
.
Well
then
,
said
the
Priest
,
Proximam
adjuvasti
;
Thou
hast
helped
thy
Neighbour
.
Alas
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
I
have
done
worse
than
all
this
;
I
have
had
carnal
knowledge
of
a
Nun
.
At
which
the
Confessor's
zeal
was
so
great
,
that
he
could
not
forbear
cursing
instead
of
absolving
him
,
Abi
apud
inferos
furcifer
,
hoc
est
pro
nobis
.
Go
and
be
damned
,
you
Hang-dog
,
how
durst
you
take
the
Trade
out
of
our
hands
,
that
's
our
proper
work
,
and
no
Lay-man's
business
.
That
unnatural
sin
,
which
was
burnt
by
fire
and
brimstone
from
Heaven
,
the
ashes
whereof
were
drowned
in
the
dead
Sea
:
hath
made
a
shift
to
revive
among
Romanists
,
and
cries
as
loud
for
Vengeance
as
ever
;
and
of
all
Places
Italy
abounds
most
with
frequent
Examples
of
Incest
and
Sodomy
.
It
is
a
common
Proverb
there
among
them
;
Siena
di
quatro
cose
se
vanta
,
Di
Torre
&
di
Campane
,
Di
Bardasse
&
di
Putane
.
For
these
four
things
Siena
far
excells
All
Places
;
Towers
,
Whores
,
Sodomy
and
Bells
.
In
Venice
,
saith
Mr
Howel
,
all
Amorous
things
are
done
by
Proxy
;
while
the
Husband
is
abroad
in
the
Gallies
,
there
be
others
that
shoot
the
Gulph
at
home
.
At
Rome
,
that
Holy
City
,
Pictures
are
Printed
to
provoke
Lust
,
and
to
teach
men
obscenity
by
ocular
demonstration
;
a
thing
which
the
very
Heathens
detested
in
Philaenis
and
Elephantis
;
and
Propertius
the
elegiack
Poet
inveighs
against
such
filthy
Draughts
.
Non
istis
olim
variabant
Tecta
figuris
,
Cum
paries
nullo
crimine
pictus
erat
.
Such
Pictures
n'ere
adorn'd
in
former
times
Houses
,
when
Walls
were
painted
with
no
crimes
.
Pietro
Aloisio
,
Son
to
Pope
Paul
the
third
,
was
a
Prince
of
Sodomy
,
he
dealt
with
a
great
number
of
all
Persons
,
of
what
Sex
or
degree
soever
,
and
at
last
courted
a
young
man
,
Casmus
Cherius
,
then
Bishop
of
Fano
;
and
because
he
found
he
was
not
to
be
brought
to
his
ends
,
but
by
violence
,
he
caused
his
Servant
to
hold
him
,
whilst
he
used
him
as
his
Ingle
.
This
sort
of
bestiality
,
Sodomy
and
Buggery
,
is
frequent
among
the
Italians
,
both
Clergy
and
Laiety
;
for
't
is
well
known
to
any
smattering
Sciolist
in
History
,
what
beastly
work
the
Italian
Souldiers
made
with
the
Goats
,
when
they
beleaguer'd
Lions
,
during
the
Civil
Wars
;
now
which
were
the
greatest
Brutes
of
the
two
,
I
leave
it
to
all
sober
Men
to
judge
.
And
this
puts
me
in
mind
of
a
facetious
,
but
filthy
story
,
of
a
hot
Neopolitan
,
in
whose
Country
Absolutions
are
as
cheap
as
Whores
.
There
was
a
Calabrian
who
had
buggered
a
Goat
,
he
confest
the
fact
to
his
ghostly
Father
,
and
bought
an
Absolution
for
it
:
a
Friend
of
his
hearing
of
it
,
said
to
him
,
Prethee
what
might
it
cost
thee
,
for
it
was
a
heinous
Crime
?
he
answered
,
but
four
Pistolets
,
upon
my
word
:
and
added
,
that
for
the
other
odd
one
I
think
verily
I
might
have
had
a
Dispensation
to
marry
the
Brute
.
This
verifies
the
old
saying
;
Dulcis
odor
lucri
ex
re
qualebet
—
The
scent
of
Gain
is
sweet
From
Sins
tho
ne'er
so
great
.
It
is
recorded
in
Pontanus
,
that
Sigismund
Malatesta
,
Lord
of
Romagniola
,
got
a
Child
by
his
own
Daughter
,
nay
,
that
he
designed
to
make
a
Pathick
of
his
own
Son
Robert
;
but
that
he
,
in
detestation
of
his
Fathers
wickedness
,
drew
his
Sword
in
his
own
defence
,
and
so
escaped
the
fury
of
his
unnatural
Lust
:
But
this
is
barbarous
,
and
beyond
a
Parallel
,
which
he
acted
on
a
virtuous
German
Lady
,
travelling
to
Rome
through
his
Territories
who
seeing
that
his
Courtship
and
Caresses
could
no
ways
move
her
to
condescend
to
his
lustful
desires
,
he
first
cut
her
throat
,
and
then
like
a
barbarous
Lecher
,
made
use
of
her
dead
body
.
The
same
Pontanus
alledgeth
,
That
there
is
to
be
found
among
Beasts
themselves
a
certain
natural
honesty
,
to
reprove
and
convince
men
of
such
gross
crimes
:
speaking
of
a
Bitch
that
would
not
suffer
her
own
Whelp
to
lime
her
,
but
would
fly
at
those
that
endeavour'd
to
procure
it
;
and
of
a
Mare
that
would
not
let
her
own
Colt
cover
her
;
but
having
at
last
leapt
her
,
disguised
in
another
colour'd
Skin
,
and
other
tricks
and
devices
used
to
that
purpose
;
when
she
perceiv'd
the
Cheat
,
forsook
her
Mate
,
and
died
for
grief
soon
after
.
The
very
Brutes
may
inform
men
of
their
Bestiality
,
and
shame
them
out
of
such
immoral
and
criminal
Principles
and
Practises
.
As
for
the
Gluttony
and
Drunkenness
of
the
Clergy
,
among
many
Instances
take
these
few
;
It
is
grown
Proverbial
,
Bishops
fare
,
Prelates
fare
,
Theological
Wine
,
for
the
best
,
and
Chapter
bread
for
the
finest
.
He
fares
like
a
Churchman
,
he
swears
like
an
Abbot
,
as
fat
as
a
Friar
,
as
frolick
as
a
Friar
,
and
the
like
;
and
the
truest
of
all
,
as
fat
as
a
Hog
;
For
as
one
says
wittily
,
Friars
in
puris
naturalibus
differ
very
little
from
Swine
.
nay
,
their
good
St.
Anthony
was
but
a
Swine-heard
ab
initio
,
and
their
reverend
Patron
.
And
they
are
known
to
be
such
belly
Gods
,
that
't
is
a
Proverbial
saying
,
A
Carmelite
in
the
Kitchen
.
The
boon
Companions
among
the
Clergy
are
so
prodigiously
prophane
,
that
they
must
wrest
the
Scripture
for
Expressions
to
countenance
their
Intemperance
.
They
will
jest
with
the
two
edged
sword
of
God's
Word
.
Nothing
will
please
them
but
to
wash
their
hands
in
the
Font
,
Fuller's
Holy
State
.
and
so
drink
healths
in
the
Church
Chalice
,
every
Glass
that
they
take
off
must
be
hallow'd
by
this
Prayer
,
Cor
mundum
crea
in
me
Deus
,
&
Spiritum
rectum
innova
in
visceribus
meis
;
and
when
they
would
signifie
that
the
Wine
is
generous
and
good
,
Hic
est
tenete
eum
;
and
when
't
is
all
out
,
the
Monks
express
themselves
in
this
Allegory
,
Data
nobis
de
oleo
vestro
,
quia
Lampades
nostrae
extinguuntur
.
The
Abbot
of
Chartees
being
asked
how
he
came
to
bear
drink
so
well
,
and
quaff
so
deeply
?
answered
out
of
the
Psalmist
,
Patris
nostri
annunciaverunt
nobis
;
And
good
Fellows
use
to
Droll
with
these
words
,
Si
quis
Episcopatum
desiderat
bonum
,
opus
desiderat
.
Nay
,
they
spare
not
their
own
Mass
,
for
when
a
Malefactor
is
executed
,
they
say
,
sursum
corda
;
when
a
Man
takes
the
Cup
to
drink
,
quia
pius
est
.
And
some
proceed
farther
,
who
are
so
bold
as
to
belch
forth
these
or
the
like
sayings
,
Let
God
keep
Heaven
to
himself
,
and
let
us
alone
to
injoy
our
sensual
pleasures
upon
Earth
,
like
the
French
Clergy-man
that
would
not
part
with
his
Benefice
in
Paris
for
his
share
in
Paradice
.
In
the
Civil
Wars
of
France
,
the
Romanists
,
to
vex
and
disturb
the
poor
Protestants
,
who
began
their
Prayers
with
Nostre
aide
soit
au
nom
de
Dieu
.
Our
help
standeth
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
who
made
Heaven
and
Earth
;
being
an
Expression
out
of
the
Psalmist
;
they
,
I
say
,
would
begin
their
Game
at
Dice
with
the
same
Invocation
,
as
if
a
Jest
were
not
worth
a
Pin
,
if
not
seasoned
with
the
Salt
of
the
Sanctuary
.
Nay
,
there
is
not
a
Priest
among
them
,
but
can
give
you
three
pregnat
Arguments
for
their
drinking
the
best
unsophisticated
Wine
.
First
,
because
it
prevents
and
disperseth
those
Crudities
of
the
Stomach
,
which
might
otherwise
by
a
Rebellious
Insurrection
fly
up
into
the
head
,
and
so
make
them
snivel
and
drivel
when
they
areat
their
solemn
and
Religious
Services
.
Secondly
,
Because
Devotion
in
the
opinion
of
these
Religious
Galenists
,
is
more
operative
and
fervent
in
a
hot
,
then
a
cold
Stomach
.
Thirdly
,
because
they
are
to
chant
and
sing
Mass
:
Now
't
is
the
opinion
of
all
Musicians
,
that
a
Man
cannot
sing
worth
a
Button
,
till
he
has
cleared
his
throat
with
a
plentiful
dose
of
good
Liquor
.
But
it
may
be
the
Bigot-Protestant
will
throw
this
rub
in
their
way
,
that
they
are
in
danger
of
being
Drunk
;
why
,
alas
poor
Ignaro
!
what
if
they
be
intoxicated
,
that
signifies
nothing
,
because
they
do
it
with
a
good
Intention
,
for
if
it
be
allowable
,
and
no
ways
hurtful
to
say
,
Hoc
est
Nasum
meum
instead
of
Corpus
meum
,
so
it
be
done
cum
intentione
consecrandi
,
or
to
cast
a
Child
into
a
Well
,
though
it
be
drowned
,
cum
intentione
Baptizandi
,
as
some
Glosses
maintain
;
what
then
if
a
Priest
take
off
his
cups
so
freely
,
as
to
be
fuddled
,
't
is
not
amiss
,
so
long
as
it
is
done
cum
intentione
missificandi
;
and
he
is
not
obliged
,
maugre
all
the
Laws
of
good-Fellowship
,
to
Pay
his
Groat
the
next
Morning
,
or
to
confess
and
Pay
but
his
two-Pence
:
for
the
Priests
are
exempted
from
such
pitiful
Lay-penalties
.
Of
the
Cruelties
,
Murthers
and
Massacres
committed
by
the
Priests
,
Friars
,
and
Laity
of
the
Catholick
Religion
.
THere
was
a
French
Priest
at
Orleans
,
who
maintained
a
Whore
,
but
grew
jealous
of
her
for
false
play
with
others
,
which
the
Religious
man
look'd
upon
as
so
heinous
an
affront
to
a
person
of
his
Coat
and
Order
,
that
nothing
could
sufficiently
expiate
the
Offence
but
death
.
The
Priest
invites
her
to
the
Tavern
with
accustomed
kindness
and
familiarity
,
where
being
entred
,
he
takes
her
aside
,
as
if
he
intended
to
play
the
wanton
with
her
,
throws
her
upon
a
Bed
,
and
cuts
her
throat
with
a
Razor
,
which
he
carried
in
his
sleeve
to
that
purpose
,
for
which
double
crime
he
was
only
condemned
to
Imprisonment
during
life
;
a
rigorous
Punishment
for
those
two
priestly
Vertues
of
Whoredom
and
Murder
.
A
Jacobine
Friar
of
the
holy
House
of
Spain
,
John
de
Roan
by
name
,
was
a
cruel
Persecutor
of
the
poor
unarm'd
and
unresisting
Christians
in
Merindol
and
Cabriere
;
nay
,
his
cruelty
extended
so
far
,
that
he
put
his
wicked
phancy
upon
the
rack
for
new
torments
to
torture
these
poor
Protestants
,
and
among
the
rest
,
this
was
none
of
the
least
;
he
used
to
fill
Boots
with
boyling
Oyle
or
Greace
,
and
to
force
them
on
the
legs
of
those
that
were
to
undergoe
his
Examination
,
to
the
end
,
that
the
violence
and
insufferable
extremity
of
the
pain
might
so
distract
them
,
that
they
should
not
be
able
to
give
any
other
than
disjoynted
and
impertinent
answers
to
all
Questions
proposed
.
Bernard
,
●
Jacobine
Friar
,
being
one
of
the
Faction
of
the
Guelphs
,
poysoned
Henry
the
7th
,
with
the
flesh
of
our
Saviour
in
the
holy
Eucharist
,
of
which
we
have
given
you
a
hint
in
another
place
before
.
Nor
are
the
Romish
Laity
altogether
guiltless
of
these
kind
of
Cruelties
,
tho
the
two
neat
Examples
,
relish
more
of
witty
severity
than
of
palpable
Cruelty
.
The
Curate
of
Onzain
,
near
Amboise
in
France
,
he
had
an
extraordinary
kindness
for
his
much
beloved
Hostess
;
but
she
,
like
a
crafty
Quean
,
to
prevent
the
jealousie
of
her
Husband
,
set
him
upon
an
Imposture
which
put
a
Period
to
his
Venerial
sport
for
ever
,
namely
,
to
pretend
that
he
had
a
real
design
to
be
gelded
,
and
that
she
would
provide
an
able
Artist
,
and
very
expert
at
the
Trade
of
Castration
to
do
it
,
Monsieur
Pierre
des
Serpens
.
The
Priest
,
who
thought
no
pretence
grievous
,
that
might
conduce
to
his
lascivious
ends
;
desires
to
speak
with
his
kindred
,
who
accordingly
came
to
know
his
Pleasure
;
they
no
sooner
appeared
,
but
he
acquainted
them
with
his
firm
and
settled
resolution
of
making
himself
an
Eunuch
,
in
order
to
the
happy
State
of
a
future
Being
,
and
to
prevent
all
illicite
Insurrections
hereafter
;
and
thereupon
in
the
presence
of
them
all
,
made
and
published
his
solemn
last
Will
and
Testament
;
and
withal
,
the
better
to
confirm
the
matter
,
did
freely
forgive
Mr.
Peter
,
if
he
should
dye
under
his
hands
,
tho
he
had
privately
contracted
with
him
before
to
give
him
five
French
Crowns
as
a
Reward
,
that
he
should
only
make
a
shew
of
doing
that
which
was
thought
he
really
intended
;
so
the
Patient
was
fast
bound
,
and
handled
as
one
that
was
to
be
cut
indeed
.
But
the
Host
receiving
Intelligence
of
the
slippery
Trick
,
he
design'd
to
Put
upon
him
,
paid
him
in
his
own
Coin
,
and
gave
him
as
good
as
he
brought
,
for
he
covenanted
with
him
for
twice
as
much
,
to
do
the
business
effectually
,
and
he
would
bear
him
harmless
;
so
my
nimble
Shaver
,
for
lucre
of
the
Reward
went
dextrously
to
work
and
eastrated
him
indeed
,
telling
him
withal
,
when
he
had
effected
it
to
purpose
,
that
he
did
not
use
to
make
a
Fool
of
himself
,
nor
a
mock
of
his
Occupation
.
Thus
the
poor
Priest
,
contrary
to
his
expectation
,
was
dismembred
by
this
unlucky
Fellow
,
and
I
think
it
was
a
sufficient
Caution
to
avoid
jesting
with
edged
Tools
for
the
future
.
A
Savoyard
,
Monsieur
d'
Avanchi
,
one
that
had
no
great
kindness
for
Priests
and
Nuns
,
and
therefore
took
great
delight
in
disobliging
of
them
,
knowing
the
Wickedness
of
their
Inclinations
,
and
the
Vitiousness
of
their
Actions
,
made
two
Franciscans
first
very
merry
,
and
at
last
very
mad
;
for
having
invited
them
to
his
Castle
and
treated
them
very
nobly
,
to
complete
their
good
Entertainment
,
profer'd
them
the
use
of
his
Miss
,
which
,
like
a
couple
of
dissembling
Varlets
,
they
at
first
refus'd
very
nicely
;
but
he
desir'd
them
to
embrace
his
kind
proffer
,
and
assur'd
them
of
their
Welcome
,
and
told
them
,
that
this
was
but
a
modest
Repulse
,
for
he
knew
they
were
Flesh
and
Blood
as
well
as
other
men
,
and
stood
in
need
of
such
Refrigerations
.
In
conclusion
,
he
lock'd
them
up
in
a
Chamber
together
;
and
they
were
not
such
Fools
as
to
lose
so
fair
an
Opportunity
,
but
to
work
they
went
;
and
when
he
upon
his
Return
found
they
had
not
been
idle
,
O
wicked
Hypocrites
,
said
he
,
Is
this
the
way
to
overcome
Temptations
?
I
'll
teach
you
better
things
.
Immediately
he
caused
them
to
be
strip'd
stark
naked
,
and
there
he
and
his
Man
belabour'd
them
as
long
as
they
could
stand
over
them
;
and
after
they
were
severely
lash'd
,
sent
them
away
with
never
a
Rag
to
cover
their
shame
,
to
teach
them
never
to
encounter
Temptations
at
all
,
or
to
fight
more
couragiously
against
them
.
Thus
did
this
Ajax
Flagellifer
lash
them
severely
,
to
prevent
the
whipping
of
themselves
,
which
they
sometimes
do
,
but
I
believe
more
favourably
.
Pontanus
.
Nicholas
Fortibrachius
,
an
Italian
Captain
,
went
always
attended
with
a
Mute
laden
with
Halters
;
and
when
the
Fit
came
on
him
,
he
would
make
a
Sign
to
the
dumb
Man
,
who
upon
this
Signal
soon
dispatched
the
next
Person
that
came
in
his
way
upon
the
next
Tree
that
was
at
hand
.
A
Virtuous
Lady
,
whose
Husband
was
imprisoned
by
the
Provost
la
Vouste
,
made
her
Addresses
to
him
on
behalf
of
her
Husband
,
the
Criminal
:
and
after
she
had
earnestly
supplicated
him
,
he
told
her
in
plain
terms
,
there
could
be
nothing
done
under
the
rate
of
a
Nights
Lodging
with
her
,
and
then
he
would
grant
her
Request
.
The
distressed
Lady
being
in
this
great
Strait
and
anxious
Condition
,
was
at
a
very
strange
loss
:
but
after
a
serious
Debate
with
her self
,
resolved
to
purchase
her
Husbands
Life
with
the
loss
of
her
Honour
;
but
withall
,
first
acquainted
him
with
her
Intention
,
to
which
he
soon
condescended
;
and
so
his
Lordship
had
his
Desire
:
but
like
a
sordid
Wretch
,
after
he
had
defiled
the
Gentlewoman
,
the
very
next
Morning
hanged
up
her
Husband
,
and
then
said
,
I
promised
you
you
should
have
your
Husband
,
and
I
scorn
to
be
worse
than
my
Word
;
here
take
him
dead
.
In
the
Reign
of
Maximilian
the
Emperour
,
there
was
a
famous
Covent
of
Franciscans
in
Flanders
,
within
his
Dominions
,
near
which
there
dwelt
a
Gentleman
,
who
was
a
great
Favourer
of
that
Order
,
among
whom
there
was
a
lusty
proper
Brother
of
the
Society
,
who
was
the
Gentleman's
Confessor
,
and
gave
him
full
Power
over
his
whole
Family
;
Now
having
this
Liberty
,
he
came
in
and
out
when
he
pleas'd
,
insomuch
that
at
last
he
was
inflam'd
with
his
Wife's
Beauty
;
and
one
day
above
all
the
rest
,
he
visited
her
,
and
inquir'd
where
her
Husband
was
:
she
told
him
he
was
gone
abroad
to
survey
some
Lands
that
belong'd
to
him
,
and
would
be
absent
two
or
three
days
.
The
Franciscan
walks
about
very
disconsolately
;
which
the
Gentlewoman
perceiving
,
sent
her
Maid
to
him
to
know
if
he
wanted
any
thing
;
she
came
to
him
in
the
Court
and
asked
him
if
he
had
occasion
for
any
thing
that
the
House
could
afford
?
and
he
said
,
yes
:
and
leading
her
into
a
bye
Corner
,
took
a
Dagger
out
of
his
Sleeve
and
thrust
it
into
her
Throat
.
In
the
interim
,
one
of
the
Gentleman's
Tenants
came
into
the
Court
to
bring
his
Landlord's
Rent
;
who
spying
the
Franciscan
,
he
embraced
him
very
courteously
:
but
the
wicked
Fryar
,
to
requite
his
Kindness
,
stab'd
him
,
and
then
lock'd
up
the
Castle
Gate
.
The
Gentlewoman
wondring
that
her
Maid
stay'd
so
long
,
sent
another
to
know
the
reason
of
it
,
and
he
serv'd
her
as
he
did
the
former
.
Then
he
went
to
the
Gentlewoman
,
there
being
none
but
they
two
in
the
House
,
and
told
her
plainly
,
he
had
been
in
love
with
her
a
long
time
,
and
was
resolved
now
to
fulfill
his
desire
,
intreating
her
to
come
down
,
which
she
did
,
and
there
saw
her
Maids
and
Tenant
dead
;
telling
her
that
he
intended
to
have
his
pleasure
on
her
,
more
than
once
,
and
therefore
would
not
ravish
her
;
but
pulled
off
his
Habit
,
under
which
he
had
a
shorter
,
which
he
profered
her
,
and
said
,
if
she
would
not
accept
of
it
,
he
would
deal
by
her
as
he
had
done
by
the
rest
:
She
protracted
the
time
as
long
as
she
could
,
in
hopes
of
some
assistance
;
and
when
she
had
undress'd
her
head
,
her
hair
being
loose
about
her
Ears
,
he
cut
it
off
,
and
made
her
strip
to
her
Smock
,
and
so
cloathed
her
with
his
short
Habit
,
and
put
on
his
long
Robe
again
,
so
they
both
departed
;
but
it
fortuned
,
that
her
Husband
had
dispatch'd
his
business
,
and
was
upon
his
return
the
same
way
that
they
went
:
The
Friar
spying
him
,
said
to
her
,
look
yonder
is
your
Husband
,
go
before
,
and
if
you
give
him
the
least
sign
I
will
cut
your
throat
;
the
Gentleman
approaching
,
asked
the
Friar
whence
he
came
,
he
said
from
his
own
House
,
where
I
left
my
Mistriss
your
Wife
in
health
,
expecting
you
,
and
so
he
past
on
,
but
his
Man
called
to
her
,
thinking
it
had
been
Friar
John
,
the
Franciscan's
old
Companion
;
But
she
durst
not
give
him
a
word
,
only
a
wink
with
a
weeping
Eye
;
the
Fellow
rides
after
his
Master
,
and
told
him
that
Novice
did
resemble
his
Mistriss
:
Go
,
said
he
,
thou
talkest
like
a
Fool
;
but
the
Servant
was
so
dissatisfied
,
that
he
went
back
,
his
Master
staying
to
know
the
issue
;
he
calls
out
aloud
,
Friar
John
;
whereat
the
Franciscan
fearing
a
Discovery
,
turned
back
upon
him
,
and
with
a
long
quarter-staff
knock'd
him
off
his
Horse
,
and
when
he
was
down
,
fell
upon
him
and
cut
his
throat
,
the
Master
seeing
his
Man
fall
,
made
up
to
them
,
which
the
Friar
perceiving
,
beat
him
down
,
and
fell
upon
him
,
but
the
Gentleman
being
very
strong
,
grasped
him
in
his
Armes
that
he
could
do
him
no
hurt
,
and
the
Dagger
in
the
Scuffle
fell
out
of
his
hand
,
which
his
Wife
took
up
,
and
gave
her
Husband
,
she
holding
him
down
by
the
Cowle
,
whilst
her
Husband
stabbed
him
in
several
places
,
insomuch
that
he
confessed
the
Villany
,
and
begg'd
his
Pardon
;
The
Gentleman
being
unwilling
to
kill
him
,
sent
his
Wife
home
for
some
of
his
Servants
,
who
came
thither
immediately
,
so
they
took
up
the
Franciscan
,
carried
him
to
the
Gentleman's
,
and
from
thence
to
the
Emperours
Deputy
in
Flanders
,
to
whom
he
confessed
the
whole
matter
,
and
upon
his
Examination
it
was
found
,
that
abundance
of
beautiful
Gentlewomen
had
been
so
served
.
In
short
,
the
Women
so
detained
were
all
fetch'd
out
of
the
Monastery
,
and
the
Friars
and
their
Covent
were
burned
together
.
Of
the
Necromancy
,
Sorcery
,
and
Conjurations
of
Priests
and
Friars
.
FRiar
Lewis
,
about
100
years
ago
,
made
an
absolute
Paction
with
the
Devil
,
who
appeared
to
him
at
Marseilles
in
the
shape
of
a
Goat
,
and
promised
him
(
I
wonder
the
Friar
had
no
more
Wit
than
to
believe
him
,
since
he
was
a
Lyar
from
the
beginning
)
the
uninterrupted
enjoyment
of
any
Woman
whatsoever
,
tho
never
so
great
a
Beauty
;
or
of
any
other
Pleasures
for
the
term
of
41
years
complete
,
but
the
Devil
was
too
cunning
an
Arithmetician
for
him
,
placing
the
unite
before
the
tens
,
which
amounted
but
to
14
years
,
(
and
this
very
Contract
is
to
be
seen
to
this
day
,
with
the
Devil's
Claw
to
it
,
)
when
the
time
was
expir'd
,
the
Friar
was
detected
of
Witchcraft
and
burnt
;
all
the
Children
he
had
christned
during
that
double
Apprentiship
of
twice
seven
years
,
being
rebaptized
;
and
the
Women
he
had
abused
were
confined
to
a
Nunnery
by
themselves
.
There
was
a
cetain
Priest
of
Savoy
,
who
was
Curate
of
the
Village
Feling
,
near
Bonne
,
to
whom
his
Parishioners
resorted
in
great
flocks
,
to
beg
of
him
that
he
would
allay
a
violent
Tempest
that
then
raged
among
them
;
for
he
had
often
made
his
brags
he
could
do
it
,
and
that
they
need
not
fear
either
Thunder
,
Lightning
,
or
any
Tempest
,
so
long
as
he
continued
among
them
.
Well
,
to
work
my
Conjurer
goes
,
and
mumbles
over
a
great
many
Conjurations
,
which
he
had
by
roat
,
being
only
a
Medley
of
horrible
,
terrible
,
hard
words
,
as
dreadful
to
the
People
as
the
Tempest
it self
,
(
he
being
sheltered
all
this
while
under
a
thick
well-spread
Tree
,
and
held
by
four
or
five
for
fear
of
being
blown
away
)
but
finding
himself
at
a
loss
in
his
Art
,
to
mend
the
matter
,
pulled
out
his
breaden
God
,
and
saluted
it
in
this
irreverend
manner
,
according
to
the
harsh
Dialect
of
his
Country
;
Cour
di
,
se
te
ne
ple
for
que
le
Diablou
,
&c.
By
God's
heart
,
if
thou
be
not
stronger
than
the
Devil
,
I
'll
throw
thee
into
the
dirt
.
And
this
did
the
business
effectually
.
Avant
therefore
all
Agrippa's
,
and
Merlins
;
let
not
Spanheim
boast
any
more
of
her
grand
Wizard-Abbot
,
since
Savoy
hath
clearly
out-done
her
with
a
little
Conjuring
Curate
.
In
Savoy
Anno
1358
,
several
Priests
were
burnt
for
Incantations
,
and
Sorcery
,
and
one
of
them
a
notorious
Gentleman
in
the
Black-Art
,
was
executed
at
Rolle
,
a
Town
four
miles
distant
from
Lausana
,
who
had
been
a
Wizard
or
Sorcerer
,
as
appeared
by
his
own
Confession
,
for
four
and
twenty
Years
,
and
yet
all
this
time
sung
Mass
,
and
performed
the
office
of
a
Priest
,
as
religiously
as
the
best
Mass-monger
of
them
all
;
and
that
he
might
not
suffer
uncomfortably
,
and
dye
alone
,
his
Whore
was
burnt
with
him
for
company
;
and
't
was
but
just
,
that
she
who
had
been
a
long
time
Copartner
with
him
in
Pleasure
,
should
at
last
be
partaker
with
him
in
Pain
;
and
it
seems
she
imployed
her
Talent
so
well
,
that
she
grew
Mistriss
of
the
Trade
too
,
and
was
so
expert
in
it
,
that
she
was
found
Guilty
,
and
condemned
as
a
Sorceress
.
Thus
these
two
Hellish
,
but
loving
Mates
to
the
very
last
embraced
one
another
in
the
hot
Flames
,
a
just
reward
or
guerdon
of
their
fiery
Lust
,
and
Hellish
practices
of
this
nature
for
many
years
together
,
formerly
by
them
put
in
Execution
,
for
which
they
were
both
in
the
end
(
as
you
have
heard
)
executed
.
Of
the
gross
Ignorance
of
the
Priests
and
Friars
,
their
falve
Impositions
upon
the
Laity
.
THere
is
a
known
story
of
Monsieur
Prat
,
the
Chancellor
of
Paris
,
a
Reverendissimo
,
and
grave
Clergy-man
in
the
time
of
Francis
the
First
,
who
had
a
Present
sent
him
by
Henry
the
Eighth
,
King
of
England
,
with
a
Letter
wherein
there
was
this
Expression
,
Mitto
tibi
12
Molossos
,
I
send
you
twelve
Mastives
;
but
the
profoundly
learned
Chancellor
,
mistook
the
meaning
for
a
dozen
of
Mules
,
and
being
over
confident
of
this
Exposition
,
he
went
to
the
King
,
accompanied
with
an
eminent
Noble-man
at
Court
,
to
intreat
his
Master
to
bestow
on
him
that
Present
,
which
the
King
of
England
had
sent
him
;
but
King
Francis
having
heard
nothing
of
it
,
commanded
them
to
produce
the
Letter
,
that
he
might
peruse
it
;
and
the
rather
,
because
that
Mules
in
England
are
as
rarely
seen
as
Coaches
in
Venice
:
But
when
his
Majesty
found
out
the
gross
mistake
,
the
Chancellor
was
the
sole
object
of
their
excessive
Laughter
;
who
,
like
a
State-Tinker
,
to
mend
the
matter
,
did
excuse
himself
with
this
kind
of
evasion
,
That
he
misunderstood
Molossos
for
Muletos
,
like
an
Ass
as
he
was
,
which
latter
misinterpretation
rendred
his
Lordship
far
more
Ridiculous
than
the
former
.
We
read
of
an
aged
Priest
,
R.
Pacaeus
de
fructu
Doctrinae
.
who
lived
in
the
Reign
of
our
Henry
the
8th
,
who
was
so
sordidly
ignorant
and
stupid
,
that
he
always
read
in
his
Portesse
Mumpsimus
Domine
,
for
Sumpsimus
Domine
,
and
being
told
of
his
error
by
a
Friend
that
heard
it
,
who
was
a
Wel-wisher
of
him
,
and
would
needs
have
made
him
change
his
note
,
yet
the
Cuckow
would
not
,
for
this
very
reason
,
because
he
had
used
Mumpsimus
these
30
Years
,
(
the
more
Block-head
He
)
and
therefore
he
would
not
leave
his
old
Mumpsimus
,
for
their
new
fangled
Sumpsimus
;
No
not
he
,
it
was
fitter
for
a
young
Novice
of
his
Order
,
to
follow
the
new
Modes
of
refined
modern
Speech
,
and
not
for
a
Man
of
his
Years
and
Gravity
.
Nay
,
the
Priests
in
general
,
when
they
had
very
shrewdly
crack'd
Priscian's
Crown
,
and
were
taken
in
the
fact
,
would
only
use
that
common
Defence
out
of
St.
Gregory
,
tho
never
intended
for
their
purpose
,
Non
debent
verba
coelestis
Oraculi
subesse
verbis
Donati
;
The
words
of
the
Sacred
Writ
,
ought
not
to
be
subject
to
the
Rules
of
the
Grammarian
Donatus
.
But
this
was
very
hard
usage
from
them
to
break
the
poor
old-Man's
head
,
and
neither
beg
his
Pardon
,
nor
give
him
a
Plaister
.
Nay
farther
,
these
learned
Men
,
whose
Duty
it
is
to
instruct
the
Ignorant
,
and
undeceive
the
seduced
,
are
so
far
from
informing
their
Sheep
,
that
they
,
the
very
Pastors
,
want
Instruction
themselves
,
for
if
in
their
Lectures
,
which
are
but
few
,
and
seldom
performed
,
they
chance
unhappily
to
stumble
at
a
Greek
Phrase
,
they
tumble
over
it
with
a
non
legitur
,
Graecum
est
;
or
else
pass
it
over
with
a
Transeat
,
Graecum
est
.
Away
with
it
,
't
is
Greek
.
We
have
nothing
to
do
with
it
,
it
does
not
at
all
belong
to
us
.
And
to
shew
the
acuteness
of
their
Wit
in
their
Derivations
,
and
Skill
in
the
Etimological
Art
,
they
derive
Presbyter
,
from
Praebens
iter
,
as
the
Conductor
or
Pilot
of
Souls
;
but
their
Allusion
is
far
more
true
,
when
they
say
,
This
Etimological
Art
is
practised
by
Hugo
Carrensis
,
and
several
of
their
Praedicants
.
quasi
prae
aliis
bibens
ter
,
and
't
is
very
favourable
too
,
for
they
generally
are
so
rude
as
to
drink
all
,
and
leave
none
for
the
Company
;
Nay
,
the
Devil
himself
cannot
escape
their
biting
Wit
,
for
they
derive
Diabolus
from
dia
,
duo
,
&
bolus
,
morcellus
,
quast
faciens
duo
bolos
de
corpore
et
anima
,
as
making
two
morcels
or
choice
bits
of
a
Man
,
one
of
his
Soul
,
and
another
of
his
Body
;
and
herein
they
give
the
Devil
his
due
,
and
make
him
a
devouring
Abaddon
or
Apollion
.
A
certain
Sir
John
,
Stevens
Apology
.
who
deserved
to
be
recorded
as
much
as
canonized
for
his
Sanctity
,
when
he
came
to
the
story
of
the
Woman
in
the
Gospel
who
lost
a
Groat
,
and
swept
her
House
in
hopes
to
find
it
;
He
himself
soon
lost
it
in
the
rubbish
;
for
he
read
,
Evertit
domum
,
instead
of
,
everrit
domum
;
and
whereas
in
the
Acts
it
is
said
,
demisimus
per
sportam
,
they
write
it
,
per
portam
;
and
in
honour
of
this
Translation
,
this
Quatrain
was
made
by
a
French
Poet
;
Par
ici
passa
devant
hier
Un
tresnotable
Charpentier
,
Qui
besogna
de
telle
sorte
,
Que
d'un
Panier

.
Here
passed
by
the
other
day
A
notable
Carpenter
this
way
,
He
was
no
bungler
at
his
Trade
,
Who
of
a
Basket
a
Door
made
.
A
French
Curate
,
being
angry
with
his
Parishioners
,
because
the
Pavement
of
the
Church
was
so
much
out
of
Repair
,
to
prove
it
a
Duty
incumbent
upon
them
to
see
that
rectified
,
pleaded
the
17th
of
Jerem
.
in
his
own
Justification
,
and
for
their
Confutation
;
out
of
these
words
,
Paveant
illi
&
non
paveam
ego
;
let
them
pave
the
Church
if
they
will
,
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
it
,
't
is
their
business
and
not
mine
,
so
let
them
look
after
it
,
for
my
part
I
'll
be
no
ways
concerned
,
even
as
they
Brew
,
so
let
them
Bake
,
and
there
's
an
end
of
the
Story
.
An
ignorant
Priest
in
Paris
,
finding
in
his
Almanack
,
Sol
in
Cancer
,
in
red
Letters
,
mistook
it
for
some
Saint
,
and
took
a
great
deal
of
pains
to
find
out
a
Mass
suitable
to
that
Holy
day
;
turning
his
Mass
book
over
and
over
,
and
finding
it
to
no
purpose
,
was
in
so
mad
a
Mood
,
that
he
closed
his
Mattins
with
this
strange
and
barbarous
Conclusion
,
Sol
in
Cancro
,
Sol
in
Cancrus
,
nec
est
Virgo
,
nec
martyrus
,
venite
adoremus
.
Now
I
'll
be
bold
to
say
,
there
's
never
a
Satchel-boy
that
has
had
Protestant
Education
,
but
would
scorn
to
throw
out
such
false
and
incongruous
Latin
.
We
will
conclude
this
witty
discourse
with
a
facetious
,
though
old
rhythming
Epitaph
,
made
upon
a
Father
in
times
of
Yore
;
Et
mourut
quatre
cents
&
neuf
,
Tout
plein
de
vertu
comme
un
oeuf
.
He
died
i
th'
year
four
hund'red
and
nine
complete
,
As
full
of
Grace
as
an
Egg
's
full
of
Meat
.
Of
the
Abbess
,
Nuns
,
and
Religious
Women
.
NUN
is
a
word
derived
from
the
Egyptian
Nonna
,
of
the
same
signification
,
and
truly
their
Confinement
would
be
no
less
than
an
Egyptian
Bondage
,
but
that
their
Pharaoh
is
somewhat
indulgent
to
that
Sex
,
and
both
their
Taskmasters
and
Task
very
easie
and
delightful
.
They
have
several
other
denominations
,
as
Religiosas
,
Devota's
,
Votresses
,
&c.
and
all
originally
derived
from
fine
words
,
Religion
,
Devotion
,
Vows
of
Virginity
,
and
Chastity
,
and
the
like
;
but
whether
these
are
broken
or
kept
,
judge
you
by
the
sequel
.
They
have
adopted
one
name
to
themselves
,
that
discovers
their
Life
and
Conversation
against
their
wills
,
and
that
is
,
Recluses
,
which
in
its
native
and
genuine
Signification
,
speaks
no
more
than
to
be
set
open
,
or
left
at
their
own
liberty
and
disposal
;
tho
the
Learned
Patrons
of
that
barbarous
Age
,
wherein
it
was
first
started
,
mistook
the
meaning
for
those
that
are
closely
shut
up
,
and
inclosed
within
the
round
of
a
Religious
Cloister
.
Joan
Queen
of
Sweden
,
was
the
first
Authress
of
those
Epicoene
Monasteries
,
as
one
fitly
call's
them
,
wherein
Men
and
Women
did
cohabit
and
live
together
(
very
religiously
and
chastly
no
doubt
of
it
)
under
one
Roof
;
And
here
,
forty
to
one
else
,
the
dull
Hugonot
will
ask
,
why
Nuns
should
be
lodged
near
the
Friars
?
Silly
soul
,
God-wot
,
there
's
a
question
with
all
my
heart
;
when
every
ingenious
Romanist
will
soon
choak
him
with
this
answer
,
The
reason
is
this
,
because
the
Barn
ought
to
be
near
the
Threshers
.
Now
if
you
scruple
the
truth
of
this
Saying
;
Boccace
will
furnish
you
with
a
Precedent
to
confirm
it
,
and
one
that
is
very
pertinent
,
and
to
the
purpose
.
For
he
tells
you
of
an
Abbess
in
Lombardie
,
that
rose
in
great
haste
from
a
jolly
Minorite
,
who
upon
pretence
of
shriving
her
,
took
an
occasion
to
lye
with
her
,
and
bedded
her
all
that
night
,
saw
one
of
her
Nuns
at
the
same
sport
with
her
Paramour
;
but
the
Reverend
Governess
making
more
haste
then
good
speed
,
instead
of
her
Veil
clapt
on
the
Friars
Breeches
,
the
points
of
them
hanging
down
on
each
side
,
as
ill
luck
would
have
it
,
and
came
to
her
chamber
big
with
reproof
,
resolving
to
nettle
her
for
her
Lasciviousness
,
(
see
how
old
Vice
corrects
youthful
Sin
)
when
she
her self
was
piping
hot
with
the
same
wanton
Conflict
;
but
the
poor
Nun
,
being
about
to
receive
her
Benedicite
,
by
chance
spied
her
Head
geer
,
that
priestly
ornament
,
and
said
,
Madam
,
I
beseech
you
first
tye
your
Coife
,
before
you
proceed
any
farther
,
and
then
I
am
content
to
receive
patiently
your
sharpest
Reprehension
;
but
the
Abbesse
finding
her
gross
mistake
,
soon
chang'd
her
mind
,
and
went
sneaking
away
,
without
bidding
her
farewell
,
which
shew'd
very
little
breeding
;
but
had
her
education
been
never
so
good
,
this
unlucky
Accident
was
enough
to
spoil
it
,
that
's
the
very
truth
of
it
.
Surely
my
Paper
would
be
of
a
more
ruddy
complexion
than
naturally
it
is
,
for
bearing
the
Contents
of
this
Story
,
but
that
I
find
the
Italian
Proverb
is
like
the
Pope
,
infallible
;
which
says
,
that
Paper
cannot
blush
.
This
Story
puts
me
in
mind
of
Scoggin's
wonder
,
who
taking
a
Friar
in
bed
with
a
Whore
,
cried
out
,
a
Miracle
!
a
Miracle
!
Here
is
to
be
seen
A
Friar
with
four
Legs
.
The
Anatomy
of
the
English
Nunnery
at
Lisbon
,
writ
by
a
young
Brother
of
that
Covent
.
The
Author
of
the
Anatomie
of
the
English
Nunnery
at
Lisbon
who
was
once
a
Brother
of
that
Society
,
tells
us
,
as
a
Witness
of
their
Chastity
,
that
he
could
go
directly
to
a
Place
in
the
Wall
of
their
Covent
,
where
he
might
pull
out
the
bones
of
Legs
and
Arms
of
the
poor
innocent
Bastards
,
that
have
been
both
got
and
murther'd
by
that
Common
Society
.
—
Saxa
ipsa
trabesque
Loquntur
.
This
verifies
the
old
Proverb
;
There
's
cunning
in
dawbing
.
Nay
,
't
is
certain
,
that
these
Tricks
have
been
us'd
some
Centuries
of
Years
,
or
else
Pope
Gregory
could
never
have
found
so
many
Bones
of
drowned
Infants
as
he
did
:
and
that
they
were
very
numerous
is
no
wonder
,
being
found
in
so
spatious
a
Place
;
for
his
Pond
must
needs
be
very
large
indeed
,
whose
See
is
universal
.
Inter
Coenandum
hilares
,
was
the
old
rule
;
and
you
'l
find
it
observ'd
among
the
Nuns
of
Lisbon
,
where
this
Story
was
related
in
their
Covent
,
by
one
of
that
Society
,
to
foster
her
ghosty
Father
,
as
pleasant
Table-talk
,
by
one
that
had
been
formerly
a
Chamber-maid
forsooth
,
in
the
very
house
where
the
Comedy
was
really
acted
.
Father
Strange
,
a
young
Jesuit
,
who
had
been
brought
up
in
England
,
fell
very
sick
,
the
Air
it
seems
of
Rome
and
Valedolid
in
Spain
being
unhealthful
,
and
disagreeing
with
his
Constitution
;
which
made
him
beg
leave
of
the
Rector
to
return
into
England
,
and
't
was
obtain'd
,
in
Order
to
the
recovery
of
his
health
,
and
partly
also
for
the
converting
,
or
rather
perverting
of
Hereticks
:
where
he
no
sooner
arriv'd
,
but
he
took
up
this
Nun's
Ladies
Chamber
for
his
Quarters
,
and
in
a
small
time
threw
off
his
Distemper
and
grew
very
lusty
;
insomuch
that
he
had
a
great
mind
to
be
dabbling
with
that
young
Gentlewoman
,
his
Sister
Anne's
Mistris
;
for
that
was
her
name
,
that
made
this
relation
.
Mrs.
Anne
it
seems
was
then
sitting
at
her
Needle-Work
,
with
her
back
to
her
Lady
,
and
the
brisk
recover'd
Jesuit
,
who
were
by
the
fire
side
;
and
she
looking
by
chance
in
a
great
looking
Glass
that
hung
before
her
,
spied
the
late
sick
Jesuit
at
work
,
and
withall
saw
what
pains
he
took
to
shrieve
her
Mistriss
;
but
he
found
before
he
had
ended
his
shrift
,
he
was
discover'd
,
and
suspecting
the
truth
,
that
she
had
seen
all
,
he
took
her
aside
,
and
told
her
,
that
he
was
a
man
,
and
Flesh
and
Blood
as
well
as
others
,
was
subject
to
such
failings
,
tho
he
had
vowed
Chastity
;
using
all
the
Perswasions
imaginable
to
win
her
to
Secresy
;
and
the
better
to
effect
it
,
promised
her
,
that
if
she
at
any
time
stood
in
need
of
a
Confessor
to
absolve
her
for
any
of
her
sweet
Sins
(
as
he
call'd
them
)
he
would
perform
that
Office
,
and
her
Penance
should
not
be
grievous
or
burthensome
.
This
was
undoubtedly
enough
to
keep
a
she
Saint
from
tatling
.
Do
but
ghess
by
this
at
the
sober
Conversation
of
a
profess'd
Nun
;
of
the
Jesuit's
Chastity
in
the
Action
,
her
modesty
in
the
Relation
,
who
did
not
blush
to
tell
this
tale
for
her
own
and
her
Ghostly
Fathers
Recreation
;
who
,
like
an
old
Fornicator
,
would
report
it
with
delight
in
his
jovial
humour
,
as
he
did
to
me
(
said
the
Author
)
and
one
Father
Vivian
,
a
Friar
of
the
same
House
.
Nay
,
't
is
very
frequent
among
them
,
for
the
Father
Confessor
to
go
alone
into
the
Nuns
Cloister
,
or
Side
,
and
continue
there
a
whole
day
together
,
and
Dine
at
their
Table
with
them
,
and
be
every
other
day
in
their
sight
,
tho
it
be
expressly
against
their
Rules
;
and
in
the
Cell
,
which
is
only
for
them
at
Confession
,
they
have
a
Grate
,
which
is
usually
taken
down
with
a
slight
,
through
which
the
Holy
Nuns
pass
to
his
Bed
by
night
;
a
cleanly
conveyance
for
such
lustful
Persons
:
nor
indeed
can
it
well
be
expected
to
be
otherwise
,
since
they
have
such
Provocations
to
this
Sin
,
as
Pride
,
Ease
,
fulness
of
Bread
,
and
abundance
of
all
Things
,
and
those
the
best
that
can
be
had
for
Mony
;
for
many
times
those
costly
Viands
which
the
Viceroy's
Purveyor
will
not
meddle
with
,
because
they
they
are
so
dear
,
the
Caterer
of
such
Houses
will
buy
,
tho
never
so
unreasonable
,
which
Provisions
are
made
for
the
ghostly
Father's
Table
;
and
when
they
sit
at
their
Meals
,
sing
bawdy
Songs
,
and
obscene
Catches
to
please
their
Confessor
,
playing
the
most
loose
and
wanton
Tunes
upon
Instruments
,
such
as
would
make
a
chaste
ear
glow
,
and
a
modest
Person
colour
at
the
hearing
.
And
this
is
the
constant
practise
of
these
Religious
Persons
,
whose
Covent
is
made
a
meer
Brothel-House
,
daily
practising
such
lascivious
Actions
as
are
scarce
known
or
heard
of
in
some
common
Stews
.
But
my
Pen
being
tired
with
writing
such
unheard
of
Villanies
;
take
this
for
a
Corollary
to
all
the
precedent
Matter
.
If
Blasphemy
,
Treason
,
and
Simony
,
not
only
countenanced
,
but
daily
practised
and
applauded
as
works
mertorious
,
by
a
persuasion
call'd
Religion
be
the
way
to
Heaven
;
if
Massacres
,
Murders
,
and
Assassinations
be
pious
and
good
Acts
,
and
can
help
the
Soul
to
everlasting
Felicity
;
If
King-killing
,
deposing
of
Emperours
and
Princes
,
be
not
only
commendable
,
but
works
of
Supererogation
,
and
consequently
the
means
to
obtain
Salvation
;
If
Sodomy
,
Buggery
,
Incest
,
and
all
sorts
of
Uncleanness
,
are
not
only
allowable
,
but
preferable
in
some
Cases
to
Chastity
,
and
Matrimony
;
if
these
,
or
any
of
these
Qualifications
can
bring
us
into
the
Regions
of
immortal
Bliss
and
Happiness
;
Then
he
is
to
blame
that
will
live
an
Austere
,
Sober
,
Religious
,
and
Godly
Life
,
and
much
to
blame
if
he
turns
not
a
Proselyte
,
and
imbrace
the
Roman
Religion
,
which
is
of
so
great
a
Latitude
,
as
to
allow
what
Morality
,
nay
,
Paganism
it self
,
abhors
as
Unnatural
and
Bestial
;
therefore
much
more
should
every
Person
,
who
pretends
to
Christianity
,
detest
and
abominate
such
a
Religion
,
whose
Tenets
and
Practises
are
so
Hellish
and
Damnable
.
