A DIALOGUE UPON THE Burning of the Pope AND PRESBYTER IN EFFIGIE AT WESTMINSTER Novem. 5. 1681. LONDON Printed for Richard Janeway in Queens-head-Alley in Pater-Noster-Row 1682. A DIALOGUE upon the burning of the POPE c. Pope JEsu Maria What Monster is this of all the Hobgoblins in Purgatory certainly there is none like this Well in nomine Sancti Petri I conjure thee to tell me Who or What thou art Presb. Thou great Apollyon profound Mystery of iniquity I am unwilling to tell thee knowing my Name and Office will be more frightful than my aspect Pope It can never be what are they Presbyt My name is Catholick and my Office to gain Souls Pope O my dear Son I hug thee I embrace thee Presb. Nay not too fast Holy Father lest you repent of your favours and turn your Blessings into Curses Pope I give thee a plenary Pardon free thee from Purgatory and pronounce thee Saint and Martyr for thy courage and constancy in the Cause even at the very Stake Presb. You will retract all this when you understand me aright and so forfeit your Infallibility before all these Hereticks who have condemned you to that visible Purgatory from which I fear you will not be able to deliver your self much less me Pope You mistake me I call not this material Fire Purgatory but the flames of another World where Souls c Pres And I believe no Purgatory in your sense hereafter Pope How and yet call your self Catholick what do you mean Pres I mean not Roman Catholick but Christian Catholick or a Reformed Christian or Protestant And my Office is to gain Souls not to Antichrist but to Jesus Christ who shed his precious Blood to redeem Souls And this I do by fervent Prayers seasonable Admonitions sincere Preaching of the Gospel in season and out of season and a due Administration of the Sacraments Pope I begin to smell him and shall find him out by my next Question How many Sacraments are there Pres Two only instituted by Christ Baptism and the Lords Supper Pope What then becomes of Marriage Ordination Extream Unction and the rest Pres They are where they were intended and where I wish they may always remain at Rome and among the Roman Catholicks whose Faith is Faction whose Promises are Equivocations whose Worship is Idolatry whose Principles are High-Treason whose Mercies are Cruelties whose practices are Stabbing and Poisoning of Kings whose frame of Government is a Politick Design to bring the necks of Princes and Nobles under their iâ—on Yoak and whose God is a pretty little tiney thing which the â—â—â—â—est first creates with a Charm of four words long then worships it and afterwards chops him up at a hit and makes no bones of him Now your blessing Lucifer Junior Pope Bless thee All the Curses of Ashwednesday and of the 69. Psalm light upon thee And may all the tortures of my Inquisition and torments of Purgatory overtake thee in this Life and that to come Thou worst of Hereticks The German Bull never roar'd so loud as thou dost Presb. Yet so loud that thanks be to God he hath spoiled the roaring of your Bulls amongst us Pope Not quite tho There are some amongst you regard them as much as they do an Act of P And tho the rude Multitude make themselves sport with me in puppet yet I have some true hearts amongst you who are troubled to see it and wish an opportunity to revenge it Presb. All this I can believe without Swearing being convinced of the truth of it by your Design in your late Plot against our King his Government and Religion graciously and seasonably discovered by Divine Providence which if it had taken effect the Hereticks by this time might have gone to pot in England as fast as they have done in France Spain Italy and Germany not to mention Ireland in all which places since the first rise of the Jesuits to the year 1580 almost Nine hundred thousand Protestants were put to death And we believe you are no Changelings Pope Nor you neither for you are the stiffest Heretick I ever talked with Pray of which stamp of Hereticks are you For there are two sorts Conforming and Nonconforming or Consenting and Dissenting Hereticks Presb. So then I perceive neither Barrel is better Herring in your account Pope By St. Stafford not much difference if any but answer me of which sort are you Presb. Of no sort of Hereticks But if it may do you any good to know it I am a Nonconforming or dissenting Protestant Pope And the Devilishest one I ever met with Let me suffer a 1000 years in Purgatory if I did not think as much by your Garb. Your tipt Cap long Cloak and short Jerkin bespeak you as rank an Heretick as inveterate an Enemy to holy Mother the Church and to my self the Head of it as any in the Nation Let the Curse of my own Bulls light upon me if I don't believe you are that Heretical Rogue that put out the Protestant Almanacks wherein you have raked together all the enormities men or Devils can commit and charged them upon us to render me and my whole body Ecclesiastical hateful and odious to the world Presbyt I don't tell you I writ them But I tell you to your Tooth I have read them and find nothing but truth in them Pope Truth burn ye nothing but truth in all those Packets of Heretical Forgeries burning is too good for you And the very Circumstance of time confers too great an Honour upon you as if you died a Martyr for having an hand in that glorious undertaking of the Powder Plot. Whereas you are a stubborn Heretick and rejoyce upon this day that that Design was detected and frustrated Presbyt I do so and so do all true Protestants and give thanks to God with our Hearts who this day Infatuated your Counsels and confounded your Hellish Devices Pope I am not able to bear the thoughts of being burnt the same day with this Fellow I would give a whole years Revenue by my publick Stewes his Execution might be suspended till the 30th of January next a proper Season for his Suffering Presbyt That 's well hinted O Abaddon I remember it with regret and abhorrency a day of Blood of Royal Blood from the Guilt of which all your Holy Water will never be able to cleanse you Who somented the differences in Church and State that were the Prologue to that Black Tragedy Who mingled so many Priests and Jesuits in the Army that fought the Battels against his Majesty of Blessed Memory Who incircled the Stage and made the Pallace of our Murdered Prince Eccho with Shouts and Acclamations at the fall of that Head of Three Kingdoms and Sung Te Deums when the News arrived at Rome but you and your Babylonish Crew And notwithstanding your boasting against Hereticks as you miscall them for this you know and all sincere Protestants believe that we owe the contrivance and
