TO all you call'd Papists to your whole Body and Head at Rome the Word of the Lord reacheth Thus assuredly saith the Lord My Controversie is against you and my Vengeance and wrath and Fury shall for ever World without end be upon you tho you pardon one another yet will not I pardon any ONE of you Some of you are made a Curse already and with Vengeance and Indignation shall the rest be persued till your Body be rooted from off the Earth p. 13 14.

COnsider the Nature and Constitution and Disposition of the Spirit of the Church of Rome how that it is not changed but the same that ever it was viz. A Spirit of Murder and Cruelty that hath Killed and Martyr'd such as have differ'd from them and contrary minded in Religious Matters and it would work and bring to pass the same still if it had its Power without limitation in England the Papists I say would Burn Kill and Torture such as they judge Hereticks and all that cannot bow and bend and conform to their Ways and Injunctions and Religion This they would be or again in England if it were in their Power as it was heretofore I say this ought to be consider'd even the Cruelty of that Spirit and what danger there is in it to give way to the exaltation of that Spirit and to embrace it in the Least whereby to give it occasion to get into the Power and Judgment-Seat for if it doth then Fire and Fagot and Killing and Burning about Religion will openly appear again and this seems to be manifest by the Constitution of the Spirit of Semper Iidem which may give good and wholsome Cautions that the Spirit of the Papists is still a cruel Spirit and would destroy all that differ from their Way if they had Power and that that Spirit is not to be Hugged and Embraced nor set HIGHEST lest the effect of it prove woful to England by bringing forth again what it once did in renewing Fire and Fagot for this is the disposition of the Spirit of the Romish Church as is apparent by Semper Iidem Consider how Careful and Vigilant the People of England ought to be to wait and attend the motions of the Spirit of the Church of Rome lest it insinuate itself into AUTHORITY and get its intended advantage and purpose against the Protestants and their Cause and advance it self against them and promote its own Interest and destroy and overturn theirs for without all controversie that same Spirit is now at work to agitate its desires and according to its old course it is hatching and contriving how to promote itself and to destroy all that 's contrary it is undermining and secretly surmizing its Opponents overthrow that itself may be exalted for that Spirit is diligent in its way to take the least occasion for its self-advantage And therefore the People of England ought also to be careful and diligent in their Cause to preserve themselves and their Interest from the defeat of the Church of Rome and they ought to watch against that Spirit to keep it in SUBJECTION under AUTHORITY and Command and not to exalt it into COMMAND over them lest they be subjected to the Idolatries and Oppressions and Persecutions of that Spirit to their own destruction both of Persons Estates and Religion for that Spirit will attempt always to Rule and if it Rule the● will follow consequently an utter overthrow of the Protestants Persons and Cause that will be the effect of the Authority of it thô it may bear hand in hand in seeming lo●● and good agreement with the Protestants till it hath gained its desired end over them which is to promote itself and to subdue by Burnings and cruel Tortures all th● which is contrary to it Let the People of England consider this matter now whe it is time and be watchful over the motions of that Spirit and not put confidence i●●t too far nor commit too much credit upon it even as they love their own Safety an Peace which are concern'd in this case It is worthy to be minded while it make mended lest the time come it cannot be prevented See No Cross no Crown c. by W.
