A69022	The baiting of the Popes bull. 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

had once committed any businesse of trust though of the highest nature to a seruant he would neuer conceiue the least suspicion of his fidelity adding hee had rather run the hazard of his loyalty then imbitter his generous trust with mixture of feare A strong obligation sure to a seruant so intrusted But some of his seruants trembling replyed what if he proue treacherous hath hee not the more free and secure opportunity to worke his wicked ends But quoth his Highnesse my care shall be such in the Choyce as my trust shall bee built vpon a sure ground Pray God it bee so said his seruants Now this wee see verefied on the Kings part towards your Grace What a liberall trust hath he reposed in you such as not all the gold of Iudai should euer ouer ballance But we all beseech the Lord that his Maiesty may not bee deceiued And haue we not cawse Doth not the safty of the Kings Person Crowne of this Church State of three goodly Kingdoms yea of the Gospell of Christ and of true religion at home and abroad euen ouer Christendome throughout the world depend in a maner vpon this trust committed to your Grace King Achish would haue made Dauid keper of his Head for euer But his Nobles thought it not safe least all their own heads should haue payd for it But the trust committed to your Grace is not only of the Kings head but of all our heads of many millions more that neuer saw your face Haue you not neede then not only of Davids true heart toward his King but of Argus his 100 eyes in watching over Io committed to his trust Yet Argus for all his eyes was so inchaunted with Mercuries pipe whom Iupiter had sent to steale her away that falling all a sleep Io was taken away and Argus had all his eyes puld out and put into the peacocks traine But where are any such Mercuries to inchaunt your Grace Where Alas where are they not specially where reatnes dwelleth at ourt Haue we any need of madd men said the King of Gath And may not the Court say haue we any need of flatterers These be the inchanting Mercuries And of all other none more to be feared then the Iesuites whom the Iupiter of Rome sends into England to inchaunt and impose vpon our most prudent and vigilant Arguses as the learned Bishop hath well obserued in his Tortura Torti Iesuites a generation who as they are the most exquisite Artists in the science of flattery so none hath more cause to beware abhor them then your Grace But you know no Iesuites The greater is your danger and ours For they cōe in sheeps clothing in disguised habits so bold as they can no more blush then their visards lowly lowting charming thechiefest with a counterfet adoration admiration of their I wot not what excellency And were it not miraculous if the Court it selfe especially your Graces house should be free even from many of such flyes which fliblowe the purest flesh with their flatteries The croaking Froggs of Aegypt crawled up into the very Kings chambers and are not these cōpared by the Holy Ghost to Froggs which goe vnto the Kings of the earth and by their crouching and croaking and their Sardonian smiles would allure them to warre against Christ and his gospell It is good therefore your Grace should make a speedy diligent search in the Court in your owne howse and in all the skirts of it round about and so also throught the whole land what Iesuites are lurking any where and to giue them the reward of Traitors Shall wee dally with such shall wee thinke to winne them with complements Wee know the fable of the snake fostered in the mans bosome it is but the Morall of a Iesuite intertained with a Court-like Curtesy Jesuites are nettles if gently handled they sting but if hard grasped they hurt not Contrary to the Basil the Embleme of the Throne established by mercy which being gently stroked on the hand yeelds a pleasant smell but crushed hard vpon it vnsauory Your Grace takeing this course Parcere subjectis et debellare superbos therein you truly discharge the trust committed vnto you Whereas if the execution of good lawes should bee suspended if treason traitors suffered Yf in this perillous season our potent profest enemies should thus be armed against vs what can wee expect but confusion of all And how shall your Grace in the ruine of this goodly state escape scot-free shall your house stand notwithstanding Nay assure your selfe if at this time you doe not bestirre your selfe to reforme things amisse but that they bee suffered to runne on headlong to destruction I may apply that speech of Mordecai to Hester vpon the like occasion Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings howse for yf thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time then shall inlargement and deliuerance arise to Gods people from another place but thou and thy fathers howse shall be destroyed Nor let this my boldnesse seeme strange to your Grace though perhaps you bee not much acquainted with such as will speake the downe right truth Of all Iobs friends hee found but one Elihu who sayd Let me not I pray you accept any mans person neyther let me giue flattering titles vnto men For I know not to giue flattering titles in so doing my Maker would soone take me away If Iob in his Misery found but one such no maruaile if your Grace find scarce one As for mee I am an English-man a free borne subiect a true louer of my King Countrey yea I am also an vnworthy Minister of Christ a poore watch-man of Israell and when I see my soueraine King my Mother Country the Glory of God the Gospell of Christ the Church of England yea the Church of Christ ouer the world in danger to bee destroyed and all brought vnder the tyranny of Antichrist and the Spanish yoake shall I bee silent shall I not speake shall I not lift vp my voice like a trumpet shall I not thus free my soule whatsoever shall become of my body Yea for Sions sake I will not hold my tongue and for Ierusalems sake I cannot rest vntill the righteousnesse thereof goe forth as brightnesse and the salvation thereof as a Burning Lampe I feare neither prison nor death it selfe that I may discharge a good conscience both towards my God my King Countrey Nor feare I to be censured as a Polypragmaticke What haue Ministers to doe to meddle in State-mysteries Sir let mee speake boldly it were happy if as in the apostatized Kingdomes of Christendome the Priests of Baals counsels I mene Iesuites Priests which must needs bring ruine to them are followed So in this Kingdome of Iuda onely the truth-telling Micaia's were heard Good King Dauid could say I am wiser then my teachers then the aged then mine Enemies for thy testimonies are my delight and my
