A96038	A discovery of the Popes pride, ambition and cruelty, in a tyrannicall, barbarous and bloudy manner exercised on Emperours, Kings, and kingdomes the miseries, ruine, and desolations by them brought on the Christian world. With their vitious and unchaste lives, their wicked practices for obtaining the Popedome, by murthers, poysonings, &c. / By J.V.	J. V.	1651 (1651)	Wing V7A; ESTC R230526	42,039	47

a most accursed Covenant just as our Popish-Pouder-Traitors did in their damnable designe and bound themselves by an oath of Confederation and Secrecy Reily a prime Popish-Priest and others like his father the Devill compassing the Earth farre and neer to draw into their conspiracy such as had not before bin therwith acquainted as also to satisfie all scruples if any arose in any of their minds about the lawfullnesse of their actions just as Garnet that old Romish Jesuiticall Fox did with his Pouder-conspirators 1605. And wheras they falsly have masked this their most inhumane Treason and Rebellion under the Kings name pretending his authority and all they did or doe in obedience to his Majesty and tender respect to his Royall Prerogative yet it hath bin by some others of them professed that they intended to have a King of their own yea that they had one already some saying Tyrone was he others Sir Philim O Neal who hath bin audaciously and traiterously honoured with the stile of his Majesty and that they will with the assistance of Spain and France set footing in England having completed their own devillish Irish-work and after that in Scotland where all things being setled to their desires the whole forces of Ireland in way of retribution and acknowledgement of gratitude was intended as hath bin confessed for the King of Spain against the Hollanders Such mighty and invincible Conquerours had they made themselves in their owne conceipts and most bold and bloudy imaginations Unto which their horrible disloyalty and unparalleld treachery and Rebellion they added most execrable expressions of unheard of hatred and inhumane barbarity to the Subjects of the English-Nation Banishment or perpetuall slavery were the greatest favours that would have bin afforded them their generall profession being for a generall extirpation even to the last and least drop of English-blood from among them Yea and that which transcends all former extents of rage and unpattern'd wrath and malignity not so much as an English beast or any of that breed was to be left alive in that whole Kingdom And as the hearts and tongues of these most base and abhominable Traitors and Rebels were boundlesly and extremely cruell in intention and profession So it pleased the Lord for the sins of his people there to permit power unto these barbarous Rebels to act with their hands the most accursed and profane perpetrations that ever Christian eyes beheld or eares have heard of both for impiety against God and his holy Gospell and almost unexpressible inhumanity toward the true Professours therof among them blaspheming our God stripping his Servants starke naked and then bidding them goe to their God to be cloathed againe breaking into Churches burning Pulpits with extream hatred to our Religion and exceedingly tryumphing in all their impieties Dragging some Professours of the Gospell by the haire of their heads through the Streets into the Churches and there stripping and whipping them and with most cruell and taunting termes abusing them telling them if they came to morrow they should heare the like Sermon Yea so excessively impious was their hatred to the Gospell of Christ that they tooke the sacred bookes of the holy Scriptures and cast them into kennels and puddles of dirt and mire treading them under-foot and leaping and skipping on them and ô horrid impiety causing a bagg-pipe to play all the while and bidding a plague upon them saying they were the cause of all quarrels and burning some and saying it was hell-fire that was then flaming and wishing they had all the Bibles in Christendome that they might use them so And as for the most inhumane and more than Scythian cruelties of these Irish Canibals and most barbarous blood-sucking Tygres of whom we may most properly say as Jacob did of his bloody sons Simeon and Levi in their massacre of the Shechemites Gen. 49.7 Cursed be their anger for it was fierce their wrath for it was cruell Yea certainly more cruell than ever any eye did see or ear did heare yea I say past the most exquisite historicall expressions of any ancient or modern Relations witnes their stripping stark-naked men women and children even children sucking their poore mothers brests whereby multitudes of all sorts ages and Sexes in the extremitie of that cold season of frost and snow have most lamentably perished women being dragg'd up and downe naked women in child-bed drawne out thence and cast into prison one delivered of a child while she was hanging one ripped up horresco referens and two children taken out of her and all cast unto and eaten up by Swine One stab'd in the brest her child sucking An infant cruelly murthered whom they found sucking his dead mother slain by them the day before A child of 14 years of age taken from his mother in her sight cast into a Bog-pit and held under water while he was drowned Together with many other yet more horrid hideous and more than savage or beast-like barbarities too terrible for me any farther to relate but may be more fully found in that most lamentable Remonstrance of this Irish-Rebellion and all there proved by testimonies on Oath wherunto I referr the Reader Which makes me call to mind that old observation proverbially spoken of Ireland which is That no poysonous Serpent will live on Irish-ground which how true in the historicall meaning I know not but now I am sure 't is most false in the mysticall meaning of it for here it seems that Satans Serpentine seed a brood of most poysonous native-Serpents Adders and Snakes of villany and cruelty doe live yea and thrive there also but I trust but for a season for certainly the Lord the most righteous Judge of all men and severe revenger of all wrongs will not suffer such horrible impieties and unpattern'd cruelties to goe unpunished but will undoubtedly ruinate such a pestilent generation of Romish Vipers and Babilonish blood-suckers as these are which he hath already most blessedly begun First by his most gracious and timely discovery of their main plot the taking of the City of Dublin which was indeed the Master-peice of their intended Epidemical mischief but prevented I say by the Lords great mercy and good providence in a most strange manner by a native Irish Gentleman one M. Owen Mack-Connell once Servant to that pious and most worthy Gentleman Sir John Clotworthy and this also by a most remarkable way and worke of the Lords speciall providence as is more particularly and punctually related in the preamble of Irelands Tears to which I referre the Reader And secondly by the Lords most glorious and victorious over-powring the out-ragious power and petulancy of those barbarous miscreants now in open Rebellion by the hands of a very small remnant of poore Protestants there among them who by reason of the most unhappy distractions and unnaturall civill-discords raised up among us in England by the Popish Faction also and their Pontifician abettors cannot be by us so
