A57829	Mirmah, or, The deceitful witness a prophecy of Solomon, now first and seasonably discovered, wherein the deceitful witnesses of Rome are made manifest to all, and our Protestant witnesses are justified, praised, and defended, chiefly the late happy discoverers of the Romish plots & deceits : being a sermon preached Novemb. 5 on Prov. 14.25 : a true witness delivereth souls, but a deceitful witness speaketh lies, or, as the original signifies, the lord of Rome speaketh lies / by William Ramsay ...

they_o which_o concern_v soul_n but_o i_o shall_v confine_v my_o discourse_n to_o two_o most_o eminent_a cause_n of_o fact_n that_o be_v the_o powder-plot_n of_o ann._n 1605_o and_o the_o plot_n of_o 78._o or_o of_o the_o last_o year_n if_o it_o may_v not_o rather_o be_v term_v a_o plot_n of_o present_a be_v my_o business_n will_v be_v this_o to_o prove_v unto_o you_o that_o in_o both_o plot_n no_o less_o in_o this_o than_o in_o that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o solomon_n be_v fulfil_v that_o the_o protestant_a witness_n be_v the_o true_a witness_n and_o deliver_v soul_n but_o mirmah_n the_o romish_a witness_n be_v the_o deceitful_a witness_n and_o speak_v lie_n first_o that_o our_o protestant_a witness_n be_v the_o true_a witness_n as_o touch_v the_o powder-plot_n we_o have_v three_o unquestionable_a argument_n 1._o the_o unanimous_a declaration_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n by_o public_a vote_n in_o parliament_n by_o virtue_n whereof_o this_o five_o of_o november_n have_v be_v observe_v now_o seventy_o four_o year_n 2._o matter_n of_o fact_n the_o plot_n be_v not_o only_o contrive_v but_o carry_v so_o far_o on_o that_o there_o want_v nothing_o but_o the_o sit_v of_o the_o parliament_n which_o scarce_o a_o day_n before_o be_v prevent_v by_o a_o obscure_a letter_n which_o give_v occasion_n to_o search_v under_o the_o parliament-house_n and_o the_o powder_n in_o sufficient_a quantity_n be_v find_v ready_o lay_v man_n and_o match_n ready_a nothing_o want_v to_o blow_v up_o king_n and_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n the_o first_o moment_n of_o their_o meeting_n 3._o the_o confession_n of_o some_o eminent_a plotter_n who_o glory_v in_o the_o fact_n though_o the_o rest_n utter_o deny_v it_o or_o extenuate_v to_o nothing_o the_o guilt_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o of_o late_o they_o seem_v ready_a to_o confess_v that_o plot_n that_o they_o may_v better_o be_v believe_v in_o their_o obstinate_a denial_n of_o this_o but_o second_o i_o say_v of_o this_o plot_n of_o 78._o we_o have_v no_o less_o yea_o we_o have_v great_a evidence_n of_o this_o than_o ever_o england_n have_v of_o that_o 1._o as_o touch_v the_o first_o kind_n of_o argument_n that_o of_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n be_v declare_v by_o the_o vote_n of_o one_o parliament_n which_o be_v sufficient_a but_o this_o by_o several_a vote_n of_o several_a parliament_n nemine_fw-la contradicente_fw-la and_o by_o public_a edict_n all_o the_o church_n of_o england_n keep_v solemn_a the_o 11_o the_o day_n of_o april_n last_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o will_v have_v a_o memorial_n as_o perpetual_a as_o that_o of_o november_n 5_o the_o 2._o as_o for_o matter_n of_o fact_n we_o have_v more_o real_a evidence_n of_o fact_n in_o this_o than_o be_v in_o the_o powder-plot_n for_o though_o the_o powder_n man_n and_o match_n be_v ready_a yet_o no_o execution_n be_v do_v not_o a_o hair_n of_o any_o man_n head_n singe_v nor_o do_v the_o smell_n of_o fire_n pass_v on_o any_o man_n but_o in_o this_o plot_n most_o fearful_a execution_n have_v be_v do_v the_o chief_a of_o our_o city_n and_o the_o chief_a emporium_n of_o europe_n turn_v to_o ash_n with_o the_o most_o

some_o rebuilt_a place_n yea_o this_o plot_n have_v draw_v the_o sword_n too_o to_o a_o dreadful_a execution_n to_o the_o most_o horrid_a murder_n of_o the_o most_o considerable_a and_o worthy_a magistrate_n of_o the_o royal_a city_n and_o county_n in_o who_o blood_n we_o may_v read_v aforehand_o the_o bloody_a sentence_n which_o shall_v be_v pronounce_v against_o we_o if_o papist_n by_o plot_n policy_n or_o power_n can_v ever_o be_v master_n over_o we_o in_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n the_o design_n be_v discover_v by_o way_n of_o riddle_n only_o in_o one_o obscure_a letter_n no_o man_n know_v whence_o but_o in_o this_o plot_n we_o read_v their_o horrid_a design_n at_o large_a in_o many_o letter_n packet_n of_o letter_n colemans_fw-mi harcourt_n and_o several_a other_o in_o the_o powder-plot_n a_o few_o obscure_a actor_n be_v discover_v but_o in_o this_o not_o a_o few_o nor_o obscure_a whereof_o several_a have_v be_v try_v with_o excess_n of_o clemency_n and_o find_v guilty_a by_o the_o fair_a evidence_n many_o yet_o expect_v a_o trial_n of_o who_o we_o can_v say_v nothing_o but_o this_o be_v certain_a much_o more_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v already_o prove_v in_o this_o plot_n than_o ever_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n as_o to_o the_o three_o kind_n of_o argument_n the_o confession_n of_o the_o guilty_a if_o we_o take_v not_o thing_n superficial_o we_o shall_v find_v more_o considerable_a confession_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o of_o the_o plotter_n themselves_o in_o this_o plot_n than_o be_v in_o the_o powder-treason_n for_o 1._o in_o the_o powder-treason_n we_o find_v but_o one_o and_o he_o for_o a_o short_a time_n too_o that_o in_o abhorrence_n of_o that_o plot_n which_o be_v evident_a before_o come_v and_o make_v discovery_n of_o the_o complice_n and_o of_o their_o design_n and_o proceed_n but_o in_o this_o plot_n we_o have_v at_o least_o six_o considerable_a person_n who_o be_v for_o some_o year_n active_a among_o the_o plotter_n and_o privy_a to_o all_o or_o most_o of_o their_o design_n and_o these_o man_n in_o a_o conscionable_a dread_n and_o abhorrency_n of_o the_o hellish_a plot_n have_v discover_v it_o to_o the_o full_a satisfaction_n of_o king_n and_o kingdom_n as_o appear_v by_o many_o public_a declaration_n that_o we_o may_v true_o say_v to_o the_o papist_n and_o plotter_n we_o judge_v and_o condemn_v you_o from_o your_o own_o mouth_n yourselves_o be_v your_o own_o witness_n 2._o as_o for_o those_o execute_a plotter_n who_o at_o their_o death_n and_o execution_n deny_v the_o fact_n and_o with_o most_o fearful_a execration_n profess_v their_o innocence_n if_o we_o weigh_v their_o word_n well_o which_o be_v but_o word_n we_o will_v find_v they_o to_o contain_v a_o confession_n most_o suitable_a to_o themselves_o and_o more_o convince_a to_o we_o than_o if_o they_o have_v confess_v in_o plain_a term_n as_o some_o of_o the_o powder-plotter_n do_v for_o 1._o the_o constant_a form_n that_o they_o use_v in_o their_o protestation_n do_v not_o deny_v the_o real_a thing_n which_o be_v the_o plot_n but_o they_o deny_v that_o which_o we_o mean_v by_o the_o plot_n that_o be_v they_o deny_v all_o design_n to_o murder_v the_o king_n or_o to_o subvert_v the_o kingdom_n or_o by_o any_o rebellious_a way_n to_o alter_v religion_n for_o in_o plain_a english_a according_a to_o their_o principle_n without_o equivocation_n they_o deny_v our_o king_n to_o be_v king_n or_o that_o his_o be_v the_o kingdom_n or_o that_o to_o kill_v he_o be_v murder_n or_o that_o to_o raise_v a_o army_n against_o he_o be_v rebellion_n or_o that_o to_o bring_v in_o popery_n be_v to_o subvert_v the_o kingdom_n or_o church_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v ready_a to_o maintain_v to_o death_n and_o to_o profess_v in_o flame_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v the_o right_a of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o can_v give_v it_o to_o who_o he_o please_v and_o that_o charles_n stuart_n be_v a_o heretic_n and_o no_o king_n and_o which_o be_v a_o horror_n to_o speak_v that_o it_o be_v no_o murder_n but_o a_o most_o godly_a and_o heroic_a act_n to_o stab_v shoot_v or_o poison_v he_o wherefore_o although_o they_o design_v all_o these_o thing_n most_o earnest_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o to_o plot_v against_o church_n or_o state_n but_o to_o defend_v both_o therefore_o they_o die_v not_o as_o guilty_a of_o the_o least_o act_n or_o thought_n against_o king_n church_n or_o state_n but_o as_o the_o true_a subject_n and_o zealous_a instrument_n of_o both_o and_o so_o they_o commend_v their_o soul_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n expect_v a_o crown_n of_o martyrdom_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o martyr_n on_o earth_n and_o as_o for_o some_o extern_a act_n of_o meeting_n consult_v subscribe_v etc._n etc._n they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v their_o enemy_n advantage_n by_o acknowledge_v such_o thing_n but_o rather_o utter_o to_o deny_v they_o all_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o so_o good_a a_o cause_n and_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n thus_o i_o say_v that_o very_a form_n of_o denial_n which_o the_o die_a plotter_n use_v be_v a_o fair_a confession_n suitable_a to_o themselves_o and_o more_o convince_a to_o we_o especial_o of_o the_o guilt_n of_o that_o church_n than_o if_o they_o have_v confess_v the_o fact_n in_o plain_a term_n as_o some_o powder-plotter_n do_v and_o i_o have_v yet_o further_o reason_n to_o say_v so_o for_o in_o the_o powder-plot_n those_o that_o confess_v it_o confess_v it_o to_o
