Holy Name Amen A Short Account OF THE MASSACRE IN Ireland Paris THE Popish Party in Ireland pretending the English unjustly detained their Lands from 'em which were justly forfeited to the Laws by their continual Rebellions and Treasons they did at last resolve to stir up all the cursed Romish Faction to shew their utmost Zeal for the Protestant's Destruction When their business was well laid in their publick Prayers they recommended the good Success of a great Design to advance their Catholick Cause and to stir up the People to act this Villany with the greater Cruelty they publickly discoursed that the English Protestants were Hereticks and not to be suffered to live any longer amongst them that it was no more Sin to kill one of them than to kill a Dog and a mortal Sin to protect or relieve any one of them When their Plot was ripe for Execution they proceeded against the English in divers methods some of the Papists only stripping the Protestants and turn'd them out of doors naked others murdering Men Women and Children without Mercy they all agreed ●o root out all the Protestants The most Reverend Bishop Usher The Irish Rebellion and French Massacre The Downfall of Rome The Massacre in Ireland happened in the year 1641 which by the learned Bishop Usher was predicted in 1601. at which time the Irish and English Papists by all manner of cursed Cruelties murdered near Three hundred thousand innocent English Protestants without the least cause or provocation given them whose bloud yet cries for Vengeance from Heaven against them and which we doubt not but the God of Vengeance will judge in his due time The Massacre of Paris was in the time of bloudy King Charles the Ninth the Papists used divers means to draw the Chief of the Protestants to Paris under pretence of a Marriage between the king of Navarre a Protestant and the Lady Margaret Sister to the French King Admral Coligni a Protestant Gentleman 〈◊〉 invited to the Wedding and in the Evening the Duke of Guise sent for the Captain of the Switzers and shewed him the King's Commission for murdering the Admiral and at midnight the Provosts Sheriffs and Captains of every Ward had the same Commission shewed them the Watch-word for the general Massacre was The tolling of the Bel in the King's Pallace a break of day and that the Executioners should be known by white Handkerchiefs tied on their Arms and a white Cross in their Hats no s●oner was the Watch Wo●●● given but they felt to their Barbarity and murdered the Admiral and in two days there was slain in Paris above Ten thousand men women and children Popery Slavery and Arbitrary Power being vanquished Rome's Idolatry must expect its downfall the Multitude being got together begun to root out their damnable Religion here in England by falling down burning and demolishing most of Their Chappels and Houses but the utter ruine of Rome will be when she thinks her self most secure as the learned Bishop Usher mentions in his Prophesie in that Kingdom and so great was their violence that they would not permit the English Language to be spoke but punished all that used it they likewise changed the Names of all English Places killing or maiming all sorts of Cattle which belonged to the English Protestants The Popish Priests gave their Sacrament to several Irish on condition they should spare none of the Protestants but wash their hands in their bloud They also Excommunicated those that afforded any Relief so that many were ●●●●ved and perished their Friars and Monks exhorted them with Tears not to spare any of the English and boasted when they had destroyed them 〈◊〉 Ireland they would go into England do the like for they ●●ld it as lawsull to kill an English Man as to kill a Sheep or a Dog and that it was no more Conscience to deprive them of their Lives and ●s●ates than to take a bone from ● Dog 's Mouth The day before this bloudy Massacre the Priests gave them admission after Mass telling them they had now fre● Liberty to go and take possession of their Lands and 〈◊〉 strip rob and despoil all the English of whatever they had that killing them was a mentorious Act and would preserve them from the pains 〈…〉 Purgatory which cause some of these murtherous V●…lains after they had ●lain multitude of the English pu●… lickly to boast That if the should die immediately th●● were sure of Heaven and escape

Hundred and Fifty into a Castle and burned them altogether An Abstract of their Popish Tortures and Cruelties against the Protestants in Ireland and Paris A Protestant Woman being delivered in the Fields they gave the new born Infant to the Dogs to be devoured The Irish Women followed the Camp and stirred up the Men to Cruelty crying Kill them all spare neither Man Woman or Child yea such was their detestable Malice that they taught their Children to kill English Children An Irish Woman was very angry with a Soldier that he did not bring the Grease of a ●at English Gentlewoman who was murdered to make Candles with which they barbarously did in many places By all manner of cursed Cruelties the Irish and English Papists in a short time murdered near three hundred thousand Protestants without the least cause or provocation whose bloud yet crys loud for Vengeance from Heaven against them and doubt not but God will avenge it in his due time Children have been cast to Dogs and Swine to be devoured by them Women great with Child have been hanged up and their Bellies ripped open that the Infant has dropped out and been thrown into a Ditch Youths have had their brains dashedout against Trees and some have been trampled to death Some Infants have been found sucking the Breasts of their dead Mother A great Commander took delight to ●lea off the skins of Men and to Head his Drums with them Some have been driven to a River where the Bridge has been broken down and there drowned if any of them could swim they either shot at them with Musquets or knocked them on the head as
