Prophecys Concerning the Return of POPERY INTO ENGLAND SCOTLAND AND IRELAND BY Arch-bishop Vsher Mr. Herbert Dr. D. Pareus Mr. Burroughs Mr. Selden Mr. Baxter Dr. M. Luther Arch-bishop Grindal Bishop Jewel Bishop Gauden Mr. Hooker Dr. Sutcliffe LONDON Printed for A. Bancks MDCLXXXII Prophecies Concerning the Return of Popery into England Scotland and Ireland JAmes Vsher late Lord Arch-Bishop of Armagh Primate of Ireland being asked by a Gentleman of his acquaintance what his thoughts were of a very great Persecution which should fall upon the Church of God in these Narions of England Scotland and Ireland of which he had spoken with great confidence many years before when we were in the highest and fullest state of outward peace and Settlement The Gentleman asked him whether he did believe those sad times to be past or that they were yet to come to which he answered that they were yet to come and that he did as confidently expect it as ever he had done adding that this said Persecution would fall upon all the Protestants Churches of Europe The other replyed that he did hope it might have been past as to these Nations of our since he thought that though we who are the People thereof have been punished much less than our sins have deserved and that our late Wars had made far less Devastations than War commonly brings upon those Countries where it pleaseth God in Judgment to suffer it yet we must needs accknowledge that many great Houses had been Burnt Ruined and left without Inhabitants many great Families Impoverished and undone and many thousand Lives also had been lost in that bloody War and that Ireland and Scotland as well as England had drunk very deep of the Cup of God's Anger even to the overthrow of the Government and the utter desolation almost of a very great part of those Countries But this holy man turning to him and fixing his eye upon Him with that Serious and Irefull Look which he usually had when he spake God's Words and not his own and when the power of God seemed to be upon and to constrain him to speak which the Gentleman could easily discern much to differ from the Countenance wherewith he usually spake to him He said thus Fool not your self with such hopes for I tell you all you have yet seen hath been but the beginning of sorrows to what is yet to come upon the Protestant Churches of Christ who will er'e long fall under a sharper Persecution than ever it hath been upon them and therefore said he Look you be not found in the outward Court but a worshiper in the Temple before the Altar for Christ will measure all those that profess his name and call themselves his People and the outward worshipers he will leave out to be trodden down by the Gentiles The outward Court says he is the formal Christian whose Religion lies in performing the outside without shewing any inward life and duties of Christianitie Power of faith and love uniting them to Christ and these God will leave to be trodden own and Swept away by the Gentiles but the worshipers within the Temple and before the Altar are those who do indeed worship God in Spirit and in Truth whose souls are made his Temples and he is honoured and adored in the most Inward thoughts of their Hearts and they Sacrifice their lusts and vile affections yea and their own wills to him and these God will hide in the hollow of his hand and under the shadow of his Wings and this shall be one great difference between this last and all the other proceeding Persecutions for in the former the most Eminent and Spirituall Ministers and Christians did generally suffer most and were most violently fallen upon but in this last Persecution these shall be preserved by God as a seed to partake of that glory which shall Immediately follow and come upon the Church as soon as ever this storm shall be over For as it shall be the Sharpest so it shall be the shortest Persecution of them all and shall onely take away the grosse Hypocrites and formal Professors but the true Spiritual Believers shall be Preserved till the Calamity be overpast The Gentleman then asked him by what means or Instruments this great Trial should be brought on He answered by the Papists the other replyed that it seemed to him very Improbable they should be able to do it since they were now little Countenanced and but few in these Nations and that the Hearts of People were more Set against them than ever since the Reformation He answered again That it would be by the hand of Papists and in the way of sudden Massacre and that he the then Pope would be the chief Instrument of it He then added that the Papists were in his own opinion the Gentiles spoken of in the 11th of the Revelation to whom the outward Court shall be left that they might Tread it under Foot They having received the Gentiles worship in their Adoring Images and Saints departed and in taking to themselves many Mediators and this said he the Papists are now designing among themselves and therefore be sure you be ready Mr. George Herbert REligion stands on tip-toe in our Land Ready to pass to the American Strand When height of Malice and Prodigious Lusts Impudence sinning Witchcrafts and distrusts The marks of future bane shall fill our Cup Unto the Brim and make our Measure up When 〈◊〉 shall swallow Tiber and the Thames By letting in them both pollutes her Streams When Italy of us shall have her will And all her Calender of sins fullfill Whereby one may foretell what sins next Year Shall both in France and England Domineer Then shall Religion to America fle They have their times of Gospel ev'n as Wee Mr. David Pareus Professor of Divinity in Heidelberg THere shall arise a King out of the Nation of the most Illustrious Lilie having a long fore-head high Brows great Eyes and an Eagles nose He shall gather a great Army and destroy all the Tyrants of his Kingdom and slay all that fly and hide themselves in Mountains and Caves from his face For righteousness shall be Joyned unto him as the Bridegroom to the Bride with them he shall wage War even unto to the fourtieth Year bringing into Subjection the Islanders Spaniards and Italians Rome and Florence he shall destroy and burn with fire so as Salt may be sowed on that Land The greatest Clergyeman who have invaded Peters Seat he shall put to Death and in the same Year obtain a double Crown at last going over Sea with a great Army he shall enter Greece and be named King of the Greeks the Turks and Barbarians he shall subdue making an Edict that every one shall die the Death that worshipeth not the Crucified one and none shall be found able to resist him because an holy arme from the Lord shall always be with him And he shall possesse the Dominion of the Earth these
