Or an vnmasking of the mystery of iniquity, folded vp in a most pernitious breeue or bull, sent from the Pope lately into England, to cawse a rent therein, for his reentry With an advertisement to the Kings seduced subiects. By H.B.	Burton, Henry, 1578-1648.; Catholic Church. Pope (1623-1644 : Urban VIII)	1627 (1627)	STC 4137.3; ESTC S106960	93,251	154

of heauen for his rebillious pride and shall his sonnes thinke to gaine heauen by the merit of their proud rebellions Suffice it Cain when his very conscience gaue him to be a vagabond and exile from that city aboue and justly for his bloody fratricide he was the first that founded and built a city on earth for his habitation Cain was a figure of the Pope and his city of Rome the Popes eternall habitation And for the Popes diadems of eternitie we reade of a certaine kind of Locusts arising out of the bottomlesse pit hauing a scorpion-like power to sting yet whose power was limitted not to hurt but onely those which haue not the seale of God in their foreheades which Locusts like horses prepared to battell had on their heads as it were crownes of gold Such Diadem may the Pontifician priests merit to weare who not onely resemble these Locusts but are those very froggs spoken of Reu. 16 13 14. which are vncleane spirits comming out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false Prophet being the spirits of Deuils working miracles and go forth vnto the Kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battaile of that great daie of God Almightie But passe we to the next Indeed we had rather being mindfull of humane frailty that glory and riches were in the Tabernacles of the righteous but when we contemplate your miseries Beloued Sonnes we put so much confidence in your vertue and Christs defence that we dare gratulate vnto you plenty of triumphs Answer INdeede wee cannot blame your father-hood ●o wish all prosperity to your Beloued Sonnes and for your selfe and your triumphall chaire wee are not ignorant how prouident you haue beene in your Pontificall Decrees to estblish a triumphant state in that your palace at Rome to be free from all incursions and inuasions and that by your Apostolicke irrefragable constitution Onely wee cannot but admire to see how in the midst of all your Pontificiall pleasures and pompe you can reflect the bcames of your contemplation vpon the miseries of your afflicted Sonnes in England But herein yee show the bowells of a father But you are sensible thereof onely in your contemplation If you contemplate this out of some propheticall vision foreseeing the calamities which your sonnes impieties through your fatherly instigation may further pull vpon them if they shall attempt some speciall service for your father-hood wherein they shall faile of their purpose herein wee desire and hartily pray you may bee as true a Prophet as Balaam was who though you would neuer so faine to obtaine an housefull of gold and siluer which you haue formerly had out of England yet the curse in the end shall fall vpon your own Moabites But if you contemplate and such great present calamitie vpon your sonnes among vs wee are giuen hereby to perceiue that your holinesse may erre vnlesse you will excuse it that you speake it by the figure Iroma you are able to contemplate more herein then all wee can discerne with open eyes Yea on the contrary whereof your holinesse cannot bee ignorant your sonnes are so kindly intreated among vs as though wee might thinke thereby to winne them the more to loue vs and our religion yet forasmuch as they are your holinesse owne sones wee meane the Jesuites and Preists especially the truth is we haue the more cause to feare them We know of old what recompence to expect of the snake if wee foster him in our bosomes Thus doe your sonnes recollect their strength among vs and such vertue wherein to repose your confidence Herevpon it is in plaine truth that your holinesse dare congratulate to your sonnes such plenty of triumphs you may bee confident of it so long as your frogs are suffered to friske and range vp and downe among vs at pleasure without controwle in defiance of Lawes and Proclamations to seduce the Kings Liege people to increase their number daily to strengthen their partie to weaken vs by sowing their seeds of faction that no lesse then a rich plenty of triumphs must needes insue But herein wee comfort our selues that your Papall confidence in your sonnes vertue is preferred before Christs defence you set that in the first place and surely if you had not more confidence in your sonnes vertue then in Christs defence it were very small for wee know that in Christs defence you haue no confidence at all your owne apostatized heart can tell you so much Except yee trust at all in Christs defence because our sinnes haue so much prouoked God against vs and none more then that your sonnes haue beene too indulgently intreated among vs not onely to the damage and murther of many soules if the Lord bee not the more mercifull to giue them repentance to returne to the truth but to the endangering of this noble State if the same our God no lesse mightily then mercifully preuent it not You know too well the Kings of Israeil are mercifull Kings but wee know againe that many times pitie though it is pitie yet being shewed to Amileck and Aramites may redound to the Authors hurt witnesse these * Kings of Israell On the other side wee know what Elias did and afterward what Jehu did to the Prophets of Baal and what a blessing came vpon them from the Lord Iehues Sonnes sate vpon the throne to the fourth generation and had done longer if hee had not cleaued to the sinnes of Ieroboam And Jezabell for all her vengeable malice and impotent fury yet could not wreck it vpon Elias though one single poore Prophet no more then the Pope with all his pontificall and imperiall power could preuent poore Luther of dying peaceablely in his bed so miraculously mightie is the Lord in preseruing his poorest seruants that are zealous for his cause Yf we shew the like zeale now in this frozen age wee may with comfort hope for the like blessing and protection Then put you neuer so much confidence in your sonnes vertue our confidence shall bee in the defence of Christ whose cause wee defend and so wee doubt not but through Gods neuer failing goodnesse to his people all you confidence and daring promises of plentifull tryumphs will vanish into the ayre whereof they were ingendred It followeth The Church well hoped indeed that the minde of the most potent King who of a Catholique wife wished to beget heires that might rule his Countrey kingdomes being mollified by the sighes of his wiues ✚ pietie would permit the dowry of royall wedlocke to bee the libertie of faith but now the vowes and counsels of your enemies are feared and whereas the oxthodox Religion is crowned with a royall diadem in that most Excellent Queene yet there are not wanting those which dare threaten imprisonment and punishments to our sonnes Answer YOu meane the Church of Rome what may it not hope
