that time issued but either from the edicts perswasions approbations or encitements of these firebrands of Babylon Who committeth Kings and Princes together making them Woolues and tyrants one against another but this Romish Nebuchadnezzar Who bloweth vp massacres rebellions seditions treasons in all Countries but this scarlet whore of Babylon Who sendeth out cut-throates and villaines with pardons to stab and poyson Kings and Potentates of the earth yea to blow vp whole States and Kingdomes with one terrible blow but the holy Father of Rome Where is the Lord crucified euery day in his Saints or where are the Saints condemned for heretiques and consumed with fire but in the furnace which is made so hot by the ministers of this idolatrous Romish Tyrant What Doctrine besides Romish is a teacher and maintainer of cruelty of homicide of parricide in the highest and most vnnaturall degree so as the greatest Rebell or Traytor is Poperie it selfe Whose Priests or spirituall guides who should be men of peace besides Romish be the nimble and actiue hands and instruments of all the former mischiefe especially their Iesuites who not onely doe these things but as stout patrons defend those that doe them If wee looke at the generality of this cruel●y it hath beene almost without bounds or banks What Country in all the world haue the Papists set foo●e into but they haue left behind them the steps impressions and monuments of their tyrannie Manasseh made the streetes of Ierusalem onely runne with the blood of the Saints but there is neuer a corner in all Europe which these Idolaters haue not washed with streames of the blood of Martyrs as History sheweth If wee consider the multitudes of men women and children on whom this cruelty hath fed it will appeare to be most mercilesse I will not say how true that is of some who say there is not a day in the yeare which might not be dedicated to an hundreth seuerall Martyrs whose blood the Romanists haue shed But true it is that with the cup of death Babylon hath serued thousands and ten thousands at once and yet her insatiable thirst hath not beene satisfied One of their Innocent Popes with his Bishops made but one Bonfire of an hundreth Nobles and others in the Country of Alsatia in one day That mercilesse Minerius one of the Popes Captaines dispatched with his bloody designes against the innocent Merindolians caried himselfe in the execution more like a diuell feeding on the bowels of men than a man that had any bowels in him Who destroying a number of Townes before him to the number of two and twenty slew and murthered with all the cruelty that could be deuised the Inhabitants whether they resisted or not The women and maydens were rauished the women with childe and Infants borne and to be borne were lamentably destroyed the paps of many women which gaue sucke were cut off and the children looking for sucke at their mothers breasts dead before died also for hunger And as a monster that had neuer come of a woman hee waged warre against that seely sexe that could least resist him For when the men of Merindoll fled from his Armie and thought it best to leaue behinde them for their better expedition and safety their tender wiues and children hoping that the enemie would shew mercie to such a multitude of destitute and helplesse women and children this enemie of mankinde euertaking this seely prey practised such villany and cruelty vpon fiue hundred women at once besides the children as hath beene vnheard of In another of those Townes named Cabriers which vpon composition and condition that hee would lay downe his armour and vse no violence against them was yeelded into his hands he no sooner entred but falsifying his promise he raged as Maister Fox saith like a beast Hee picked out thirty choise men presently and caried them into a meddow and caused them to bee hewen in pieces by his souldiers Hee tooke forty seely women some of them with childe and put them into a Barne full of straw and hay and caused it to be set on fire at the foure corners whose lamentable out-cry when a souldier heard he in pitie opened a doore to let them out but as they were comming out the Tyrant caused them to be slaine and cut in pieces opening their bellies that their children fell out whom they troad vnder their feete And lest he should be vnlike to Dioclesian who set a Church on fire and burnt in it many thousand Christians he sent also a band of Ruffians not with fire as in the former instance but vvith the sword into the Church wherein as in a Sanctuarie were hid a great number of vvomen children and young Infants vvho vvithout all respect of place or persons slewe all they found In this one Towne vvere thus mercilesly murthered aboue a thousand Protestants In the yeare 1560. vnder Pope Pius or Impius rather the fourth were two Townes in the parts of Calabria taken and condemned at one time to the number of a thousand and sixe hundred Protestants Of them in one day were executed fourescore and eight in this manner They being all thrust into one house together as into a sheepe-fold the executioner commeth in and taketh one and blinde-foldeth him with a muffler about his eyes and so leadeth him into a larger place hard by and commanding him to kneele downe hee cutteth his throat and leauing him halfe-dead and taking his Butchers knife and muffler all of a gore-blood he commeth againe to the rest and so leading one after another hee dispatcheth them all A direfull and lamentable spectacle to see insomuch that a Romanist professed in a letter to his friend at Rome that he could not write it without weeping Another Preacher one Simon Florellus writing to an Italian Doctor of Phisicke in the Vniuersity of Basill telleth vs what became of the rest These two Townes saith he are vtterly destroyed and eight hundred of the Inhabitants or as some write from Rome no lesse then a full thousand And this yeare were the residue of that godly fellowship martired But if we reade ouer the whole Turkish History and all the Records of the Heathen Emperours themselues we shall not be able to match no not in the Lion Nero nor Decius nor Dioclesianus that most wicked furie and rage which euer the sunne saw committed by the Papists in the Massacre of France wherein in the space of three dayes were tenne thousand Protestants not more cruelly then perfidiously slaine and murthered and in the space of thirty dayes to the number of thirty thousand The furies of hell were neuer more furious than these blood-sucking Romanists What reioycing was there at Rome for this Massacre what solemne Processions and Masses were by the Pope and his Cardinals for so notable a stratagem celebrated what generall ioy in Rome appeared in the publishing of a Iubile presently in shoo●ing off great Ordinance in way of triumph
