ANIMADVERTIONS ON THE Papists Most Wicked AND Bloody Oath of Secrecy Given to Robert Bolron by William Ruston a Jesuit For the Murdering of Kings Princes and their People and carrying on their Devilish and Hellish Designs for Subverting the Protestant Religion in England and Ireland In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost Amen I Robert Bolron being in the Presence of Almighty God the blessed Mary ever Virgin the blessed Michael the Arch-Angel the blessed St. John Baptist the holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul and all the Saints in Heaven and to you my Ghostly Father do declare and in my Heart believe the Pope Christ's Vicar General to be the true and only Head of Christ's Church here on Earth and that by virtue of the Keyes of Binding and Loosing given his Holiness by our Saviour Christ he hath Power to depose all Heretical Kings and Princes and cause them to be Killed Therefore to the utmost of my Power I will defend this Doctrine and his Holinesses Rights against all Usurpers whatever especially against the now pretended King of England in regard that he hath broke his Vows with his Holinesses Agents beyond Seas and not performed his Promises in bringing into England the holy Roman Catholick Religion I do renounce and disown any Allegiance as due to the said pretended King of England or Obedience to any of his inferior Officers and Magistrates but do believe the Protestant Doctrine to be Heretical and Damnable and that all are Damn'd which do not forsake the same and to the best of my Power will help his Holinesses Agents here in England to extirpate and root out the said Protestant Doctrine and to destroy the said pretended King of England and all such of his Subjects as will not adhere to the holy See of Rome and the Religion there professed I further do promise and declare That I will keep Secret and Private and not Divulge directly or indirectly by Word Writing or Circumstance whatever shall be proposed given in Charge or discovered to me by you my Ghostly Father or any other engaged in the promoting of this pious and holy Design and that I will be Active and not Desist from the carrying of it on and that no hopes of Rewards Thrcats or Punishments shall make me Discover the rest concerned in so pious a Work and if Discovered shall never confess any Accessaries with my self concerned in this Design All which I do Swear by the Blessed Trinity and by the Blessed Sacrament which I now purpose to receive to perform and on my part to keep inviolable And do call all the Angels and Saints in Heaven to witness my real Intention to keep this Oath In Testimony whereof I do Receive this most Holy and Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist A few Words to the Papists of England O Ye Papists your own Reason cannot but tell you That every Word in this Oath is Hypocrisie Perjury Murder Rebellion and Treason both against God the King and his People and your own Souls thus to call your damnable Plot a Holy and Pious design to call Evil Good and Good Evil to put Darkness for Light and Light for Darkness and all this for nothing but to satisfie a filthy Humour in you in a blind Hope of a blind Reward ye know not what your selves a little Worldly preferment a release out of Purgatory or a Pardon from the Pope a sinful Wretch that cannot get Pardon of Christ for himself a false Vicar and a Judas Traytor to Christ in selling him for Money in hiding his Commandments from People to maintain Mammon and to gull the People by a few gawdy Shrines Buildings and Pictures just like the Heathenish Religion of Apollo at Delphos or like Diana at Ephesus The Lord lighten your Darkness and open your Eyes that ye may see the Truth and be saved in turning from these Wayes of Hell and from being thus blinded in Religion and mis-led by those Agents of the Devil and his Vicar the Pope for surely the Pope is the Devil's Vicar rather then Christ's Vicar because the Pope deludeth Souls which is the Devil's business consider it well and ye will find it so Why are ye so bewitched as not to read the Bible but to believe Errors and Lyes Why do ye pin your Belief upon the Sleeves of your Priests as to think all is true whatsoever they tell you never looking into the Scriptures to see whether they speak true or no If ye be Subjects to the Roman Emperor then indeed the Pope of Rome is your Arch-Bishop otherwise not for if ye be loyal Subjects to the King of England then the chief Bishop of England is your Arch-Bishop and not the Roman Pope How can ye imagine that the Roman Emperors Arch-Bishop or Pope of Rome ever had any right in England since the Departure of the Roman Emperors from the Government of England or that Austin the Monk was not sent on purpose to seduce the Saxon Kings then in England How can ye prove that Images Crosses Altars or any work of mens Hands may lawfully be adored worshipped or bowed towards How can ye prove there is a Purgatory after this Life where Souls may be prayed out for Money And how can ye prove that either the Roman Pope or any of his Priests are the true Ministers of Christ or have the Keys of binding and loosing in regard they obtained their Offices by Sinister means only for Lucre of Preferment in this World And how dare ye trust that they or any of them can pardon your Sins How can ye prove that the words of Consecration spoken by them or any of them can turn Bread and Wine or Wafers into the very Body and Blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ or that our Saviour did not speak those words in a Parable or Similtude seeing it is written Without a Parable spake he nothing Do ye not know that your Priests have left out God's second Commandment both in your mass-Mass-Books and in your Catechisms and made two of the tenth to make up the number of the Ten Commandments And is it not on purpose to delude you and to make you Worship Images And is not the Bible kept from you on purpose to delude your Souls from knowing the Truth How can ye prove that the Souls of St Peter St Paul or any of the Saints in Heaven can hear Peoples Prayers on Earth or that there is any Intercessor betwixt God and a Sinner but our Saviour himself How dare ye say that all People on Earth are Hereticks but Papists or that it is Meritorious to kill a Heretick O Repent and be Converted for we do assure you that ye do Err greatly not knowing the Scriptures nor the Precepts of God FINIS LONDON Printed for J.B. 1681.
