were a resurrection of this Kingdome from the dead claimes not a vanishing but a continuall and constant ioy which ioyfull thankefulnesse to God if we forbeare or forget because the time of that danger is past we shall be like them who seeing Iohn to be a shining and a burning light reioiced for a season in him or like the Pharise Thanke God in tongue and countenance onely And I feare there are many in this publike ioy and thankesgiuing assume the face and fashion of reioicers like Ruf●… who came to Vitellius after his victory carrying as Tacitus writes Latitiam gratulat ionem vultu ferens sed animo anxius c. Ioyfulnes in tongue and heauinesse in heart These if any such may witnesse against themselues That the Lord hath done great things for vs wherefore we reioice The better to awaken our flumbering affections to this perpetuall seruice of thankefull reioicing and to prouoke vs to imprint an eternall Momento in the Kalender of our hearts foreuer of the maruellous mercy of God in keeping vs from that intended destruction I haue enterprized to ●ouze vp and reuiue the languishing spirits of the Land with the renued remembrance of so ioyfull a worke and with a fresh supply to refresh this fainting and expiring Lampe which though it hath beene cherished with the oyle of many helping hands yet begins to faile in light and had need that both Pulpet and Presse should preach and publish a continuall Hallelu-Iah for so great and gracious a mercy of deliuery For earthly men are hardly moued to this duty of praysing and thanking God of ten Lepers but one returnes to giue thanks Pharao being plagued can send for Moses and Aaron and say Pray ye vnto the Lord for me but being eased neuer say Praise the Lord with me wherin if the latenesse of our gratulation to God shall find a cold entertainement with the vnthankefull Children of Men as if this worke were out of date I say with the Psalmist This shall be written for the generation to come and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. In handling of which Subiect I will discourse principally of foure generall things 1. Of the plot and proiect it selfe 2. Of the Persons 3. Of the Causes or motiues 4. Of the ends By these foure markes I will guide my selfe in the description of this Chaos of confusion CHAP. II. 1. Of the Plot. IN the declaration of this direfull and detestable Powder-plot I may beginne with the words of Aeneas relating to Queene Dido of the fall of Troy yet with a little Inuersion Anglorum vt opes lamentabile regnum Eruerent Danai Quanquam animus 〈…〉 horret luctuque refugit Incipiam My heart doth shake with trembling feare amazt How famous England a rich flourishing Land By Papists Powder-plot had beene defac't And Troynouant like Troy in fiery ruines stand Had not the Lord put forth his sauing hand As Treason is a worke of darkenesse so these working Traytors wrought in darkenesse their plot of hellish pollicy and impiety concealed in a place of darkenesse Subterraneum foramen A place vnder the Earth they wrought vnder the ground beginning their Mine the eleauenth of December 1604 neare to the wall of the Parliament house Itum est in viscera terrae Atque oculis captifodere cubilia talpae Ouid. These blinded Pyoners to the Prince of hell Labor in darkenesse and in darkenesse dwell Deepe politicians to vndermine a State what depth in deuising cunning in contriuing cost in preparing sweat in labouring closenesse in conueying Ingeniosa crudelitas ad poenas Men of cruel wits to crucifie their Countrey but the Lords potent wisdome eluded the profound policies of these monstrous and mischieuous Earthwormes In which damnable plot two points considerable 1. Their secrecy 2. Their cruelty in it Secrecy both in the Act and Agents 1. Vnder the Earth the bosome of all secrets 2. In the Agents who sweare and take the Sacrament for secrecy Strange impiety to take the Sacrament the Seale of Grace to commit not a crying sinne of blood but a roaring and thundering sinne of fire and brimstone This is Popish practise vsually to tie themselues for performance of their desperate deeds by taking the Sacrament in which they hold Christs body and blood really present and thereupon make a bargaine to shed reall yea royall blood Nullus s●mel are receptus Sang●… f●nces I may say of them as Iacob of Simeon and Leui Brethren in euill the Instruments of cruelty are their habitations into their secret let not my soule come These Gun-powder-Traytors first in their mine consulting with the Prince of Darknesse the president of their plot and counsell and the combining and conspiring with themselues in the deepest secrecy for the perpetrating this inhumane villany and hauing from the eleauenth of December 1604 vnto Candlemasse next laboured vnder the ground and brought their wicked worke through halfe the wall of the Parliament House vpon a new opportunity leaue their vndermining worke Daemonum opus The Diuels worke and hire the Vault or Cellar vnder the Parliament house And as before these Diuels Iourney-men laboured vnder the Earth so now framing and machinating sub Senatu vnder the Parliament House to make a finall dissolution there which is the famous place of publike reformation and therefore secretly doe conuey great store of powder thither about 36 barrels of powder couered ouer with store of wood and billet and to vse Dauids words Lo the wicked bend their Bowe and make ready their Arrowes vpon the string that they may secretly shoote at them which are vpright in heart for the foundations shall be cast downe and what hath the righteous done And as the same Prophet They incourage themselues in a wicked purpose they commune together to lay snares priuily and say Who shall see them but the Lord did breake the counsell of the Heathen and brought to nought the deuises of such people Blessed be his holy name for euer 2 Is the cruelty of the plot which appears specially in two respects 1. In the generall extent 2. In the greeuous deuice The extent large plotted for the generall destruction of the King and Kingdome Cum subit illius dirissima mortis image Vltima quae Regi regnoque bonisque fuisset Horribilis quatit essa tremor A dismall day in which they did intend Of King and Kingdome for to make an end These Powder-papists then dreamed to haue had a Romane Regiment that Tuesday at night here like Hamilcars dreame the Generall of the Carthaginiani laying siege to Syracusa an Image appeared to him in his dreame and told Hamilear hee should sup the next night in Syracusa and so he did yet not as a Captaine but Captiue or like Iulius Caesaers dreame who the night before he was slaine in the Senate house dreamed that he sate hard by Iupiters seate So

is a perfect Traytor or Gowrie for they two in this conspiracy had but one heart My Lord I am resolued saith he to perill life lands honor goods yea and the hazard of hell shall not fray mee though the scaffold were alreadie set vp A miserable resolution with a miserable confusion But hee had his demerits though not in so high a kinde as hee deserued and bloudy Gowrie strooken stone dead in the place where he intended and striued to act his Treason Cognatum imo innatum omni sceleri sceleris supplicium The fruits of Treason shame and death That it may be said of wicked Gowries and their adherents in the words of the Psalmist O enemy destructions are come to a perpetuall end their memoriall is perished with them The heathen are sunke downe in the pit that they made in the net that they hid is their foote taken CHAP. IIII. BVt not to insist thus in generall in the declaration of Traytors punishments I will specifie some part in particular which though they be commonly knowne yet may be propounded to good purpose as precautiōs to posterity to feare to follow their bad examples lest they find their woful punishments The punishment of disobedience and treason is of two kindes 1 Punishments by God 2 Punishments by man Punishments by God are threefold externall internall eternall I will not take vpon me to be a Iudge in the heauenly Assises I will be as a Clarke to reade their punishments registred in Gods booke First externall and they are of two sorts eyther ordinary or extraordinary Ordinary as Ieremy denounces them The Nation and kingdome which will not serue Nebuchadnezzar King of Babell and will not put their neckes vnder the yoake of the King of Babell the same Nation will I visite saith the Lord with the sword with famine with pestilence vntill I haue wholly giuen them into his hands Extraordinary as Miriam for her murmuring against Moses was made leprous the murmuring Israelites punished with fire Core Dathan and Abiram were swallowed vp of the earth Absalom with his owne mule drawen vnder an Oake where hee was hanged vp by the hayre of his head 2 Internall and that specially tormented with the worme of a guilty Conscience for it is a fearefull thing when malice is condemned by her owne testimony and a Conscience that is touched doth euer forecast cruell things saith Wisedome her selfe this inbred monitor and notary of the soule signes euery bill of Inditement with Teste meipso which is in stead of a thousand witnesses A guilty Conscience who can beare It makes the wicked cry with Tiberius Dij me perdunt God and their owne conscience begin to confound them remembring with Iudas how they haue sinned in betraying the innocent bloud Quos diri conscia facti Mens habet attonitos surdoverbere caedit Occultam quatienti animo tortore flagellum The conscience of foule ●acts their soules affright And scourge with restlesse torments day night Eternall But those I leaue to the Iudge of all who holds in his hands the Keyes of Heauen and Hell for no sinne neuer so dangerous and damnable in it selfe except the sinne against the Holy Ghost but vpon true contrition grounded in a true Faith may receiue remission 2. Punishment of Traytors by the Lawes of Men and that foure wayes 1. By bodily death 2. By want of burial 3. In blood and posterity 4. In losse of liuing 1. By a violent death the manner of it I described in the Chapter before how wofull to runne such a wicked race as that body and soule must be diuorced before their time life ended before the line of life naturally finished and that by a shamefull death hanged vpon a Tree or the head cut off which conspired against the supreame Head all men reioycing at their deaths and point at them with their fingers Ille crucem sceleris pretium tulit All Men saying that truly which they did of Christ most falsely He is worthy to die 2. In buriall yea rather in defect of buriall their bodies dismembered and their quartered parts fixed vpon gates and walles of Cities spectacles exposed to all beholders and reserued for remembrance to all Subiects to learne by their mangled and vnburied limbes to leade more dutifull and obedient liues It was a great punishment to Ieholakim that he should be buried as an Asse is buried none to mourne for his death saying Ah Lord or ah his glory but to be drawne and cast forth without the gates of Ierusalem But a Traytors buriall is worse then the buriall of an Asse for the dogges or beasts of the field soone deuoure them so are forgotten but these liue in shame in the relickes of their dead carkasses as monuments or mappes of their misery and mischiefe These want the sweet perfumes and balmes the honour of Funerals the faire Tombes of their Ancestors they lie inglorious and on their graues if they haue any it may be engraued as it was written vpon Pope Alexanders Tombe Iacet hic scelus vitium Whereas others if they haue beene loyall they goe to their graues in peace resting in their naturall lodging to the last day and if they haue beene of honourable Race and Rancke they vsually are graced with some sumptuous Monument to witnesse to the World their singular vertues to their succeeding generations Aen. 6. Nampius Aeneas ingentimole sepulchrum Imposuit suaque arma viri remumque tubamque Monte sub aerio qui nunc Mysenus abillo Dicitur aeternumque tenet per saecula nomen Whereas Traytors are vsed as I haue read how the Souldiers vsed Zisca the Commander of the Hussites who being dead they did flea him and tooke his skinne giuing his body to the wilde beasts and of his skinne did make a military drumme that his enemies who feared his sight aliue might feare the sound of his skin being dead so these infamously are dismembred their heads set vpon poles or high places to terrifie all men from trayterous attempts 3. In Blood and posterity Their names and honour attained as Salomon The name of the wicked shall rot The names of Traytors and Rebells giue an ill sent and sauour in the Land stayning and dishonouring all their Progeny leauing behind them an vnhappy and disgracefull memory so that the liuing issue of so leud a Progenitor may say as Iacob said of Simeon and Leui Ye haue troubled me and made me stinke among the Inhabitants of the Land What more odious names to all true Britains then the mention or memory of Kett Cade Straw Lopus Parrye Gowry Fawx with those Agents in the Powder-plot their names branded with contempt The portion of the wicked saith Iob shall be cursed in the Earth and they themselues are gone and brought low they are destroyed and cut off as the top of an eare of corne for

much ground as all Spaine containeth But woe to them that build vp Sion with bloud and Ierusalem with iniquity saith Micah Whose hands are defiled with bloud the Lord will prepare them vnto bloud and bloud shall pursue them except thou hate bloud euen bloud shall pursue thee saith the Lord by the mouth of Ezekiel But these imitate Iulius Caesar the first Emperour of Rome who held a sword in one hand and a booke in the other with this Motto Ex vtreque Caesar So these Romanists will hold a sword in one hand and a Bible in the other changing the word the sword of the spirit into a materiall sword to murder mens bodies but Caesar who shed much blood abroad had his owne blood shed at home Yet Caesar was farre of a more mercifull mind for as Austen speakes of him Hee gloried in nothing so much as in pardoning his enemies and gratifying his friends Or they follow blood-thirsty Cyrus who at last was slaine by Queene Tomyris and his head cut off and put into a vessell of blood with these words Sanguinem sitijstit nunc sanguine saturatus esta Thou hast thirsted for blood now drinke thy fill so these thirst for blood Quem babit hic auide quàm bibit ante merum As greedily he drinkes mens blood As men doe wine and thinkes as good But Dauid because he was a man of blood might not build God a materiall Temple and will you build Gods spirituall Temple with bloody hands God abhorres blood-thirsty and deceitfull men Deus non est autor eius cuius est vltor God is a reuenger of such villanies and what he affects he will effect by good meanes And therefore though Papists colour this treason vnder the cloke of Religion and for the good of the Catholicke cause the Lord will say to them I know ye not Depart from me ye workers of iniquity Then shall they couer themselues with confusion as with a cloake And truly these fiery and furious Iesuited Roman Catholickes maske and shroud their faction and treason vnder the cloake of Religion as the Dominicans lurke vnder our Ladies frock crying out The Catholicke Cause and for the good of the Church so that we may say as once wittily Erasmus demanded VVhat is Charity answered It is a Monkes cloake for it couers a multitude of sinnes So what is Popery It is a cloake to couer a multitude of sinnes and as they say Puritan sohismes are sowen together with Sisters-threed so Popish schismes are patched together out of the cloake of Rebellion yet vnder the mantle of Religion yet so farre are these people from being ashamed of these things or reclaimed from such practises much lesse to repent for them as that being apprehended for them or hauing accomplished their deuices they are still insensible of sorrow contrary to all other Malefactors for as the Poet quid fas Atque nefas tandem incipiunt sentire peractis Criminibus How good or bad their deeds were they then see When once their mischiefes accomplisht be But these would with Nero laugh and leape to see our Cities on fire and as Guido Faux the foreman of this fiery stratageme being demanded what hee would haue done when as he had put fire to the powder said Goe see the sport in the field A voice fit for a villaine or a cruell Vitellius who said as Tacitus records it Sepauisse oculos spectata in imici morte nempe Blaesi● He did feed his eyes with the dead spectacle of his aduersary Blesus But Caesar wept when the head of Pompey his enemy was presented to him saying Ego Pompeij casum deploro meam fortunā metuo I lament Pompeys fall and feare mine owne fortune but the enemies of Sion as they haue Crocodile eyes to weepe and laugh at murthered obiects so they haue deuouring mouthes and teeth to water after such preyes I will not iudge all of them to be of so bloody a disposition for I presume some Iesuites and Priests and Monkes are like Aristippus looke for nothing but meat for their belly and a maide for their bed little busie their braines with other matterrs or some may follow their study which yet is not vsuall especially among the secular Priests whom the Iesuites call Ebrios stultos illiteratos Ecclesia excrementa Drunkards Dolts Dunces the excrements of the Church and the same secular Priests brand the Iesuites with infamous markes Statistas Atheistas Machiauelistas quot Iesuitae totidem Iudae Statists Atheists Machiauclists So many Iesuites so many Iudasses But indeed the least medlers in these matters are the Monkes and therein to be commended who if they were as carefull to feede their braines as their bellies I should thinke them the best of the bunch but herein they are faulty being onely as the Poet Epicuri de grege porcos Horat. Most of them sordide and stupide fellowes without any industry in labour or generosity in life And as long ago it was written of them Liber Pater praeponitur libro patrum Calicibus epotandis non codicibus emendandis Indulget bodie studium Monachorum Cantus ludentis non planctus lugentis Officium efficitur Monachale Greges vellera fruges Horrea Porri olera potus patera Lectiones sunt hodie studia Monachorum In a word thus One Bacchus more they loue then Muses nine They fat their bellies while their braines do pine But to leaue these whom the Pope least loues for the Iesuites are his Pulli puppi His Minions and Darlings he knowes them by their hands as the Eagle knowes his young ones by the eyes a pen in one hand and a ponyard in the other to write for him and to fight for him We will accuse no more but the parties in view whereof Faux should haue beene the Executioner and as they say An hangman must haue a cruell heart so this appointed wretch had a cruell heart to count such a sight as this should haue beene a sport and when he was apprehended he discouered no fignes of sorrow or repentance except onely that he repented for not being able to performe it Nil Christus Domini nil illi proxima Coniux Nil Princeps Carolus charus spes altera Regni Vtraque nobilitas pietate insignis armis Maiestasque loci veterum tot Curia regum Nil haec crudeli potuere obstare furori Our royall King with his illustrious Spouse That Phoenix gone vnto a better place And next succeeding hope Prince Charles his Grace The noble Peeres the Prelates of Gods House And other Monuments which might well rouse More feare then fury yet this vile Consort To blow vp all with powder counts it sport The vertues indeed vices which were in Tigellinus Neros Secretary were as Tacitus names them Cruelty and Luxury so these abounded with the first if not with the second And yet they had no cause to
