catch'd one of his Cardinals by the Nose and cut it off and another by the right Hand and cut that off too And Pope Stephanus catch'd the dead Body of Pope Formosus his Predecessor and cut off his Head and fore-fingers and then threw the naked Carcase of this quondum Infallibility into the River Tyber And more than once some of them have catch'd and snatch'd Men to the Grave by giving them a poysoned Wafer in the Sacrament and poysoning the Wine in the Chalice or Cup. So true is it what their own Writer saith in Allusion to the Cruelty of Popes reciting Heb. 9.7 Into the Holy of Holies the Papal Chair did the High Priest enter alone but not without Blood Whilst we say of the Protestant Religion which God has miraculously preserved so long and I prophesy will still preserve in despight of all the Popish and Hellish Stratagems False Evidence and Sham-Plots as was said of Israel The more they were afflicted the more they grew Therefore chear up true English Hearts Let not your Christian Courage flag If by Popish Plots or Sham-Plots we cannot live Protestants we can die Protestants Thus Gregory Nazianzen comforted the Christians in his time telling them of the excellency of their Religion in these Words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 It lives by Death the more 't is cut the faster it springs and grows by diminishing So Cyprian Sacerdos Dei Evangelium tenens Christi praecepta custodiens occidi potest vinci non potest A Minister of God following the Precepts Evangelical may be killed but not conquered As Chrysostom answered the threatning Empress Endoxia nil nisi peccatum metuo tell her I fear nothing but Sim she might fright a Parasitical Knave or Fool but not a Chrysostom she may kill me but she cannot hurt me For there is no Wisdom nor Vnderstanding nor Counsel against the Lord if we believe the Holy Spirit of God I 'le conclude this with Holy David's Prayer Psal 119.121 I deal with the thing that is lawful and right O give me not over unto mine Oppressors FINIS Hen. 8.

To whom with the Father and Son be Glory for ever Amen FINIS THE POSTSCRIPT TO THE READERS ANd now Gentle Readers if ever I had need to beg your Candour or to make an Apology for publishing a crude Sermon now is the time For as it is true that I had not so much as short Notes when I preach'd it nor time to make them so as near as my Memory serves me I have set down verbatim at least the Substance of what I preach'd writing immediately what I preach'd whilst fresh in my Memory and so sent it the next day by a special Messenger to the Press You 'll say perhaps why What haste If this had never been Printed or Printed seven years hence it is soon enough And all may be For neither in the Preaching nor Publishing had I the least Reflection to hit any particular Man alive But I know the Sin of setting Snares to catch Men is so common too too common God knows in these Days such Shamming and Trepanning that scarce an honest Man in England of any Eminency but has or may have cause to say with Holy David Every day they wrest my Words all their Thoughts are against me for Evil. If this Discourse then be but conimoda ut accommoda as profitable as seasonable I have my end and only aim purposely waving in this Sermon all vain Rhetorical Flourishes idle or elaborate Quotations much more that scenical gaping or endeavour at Wit Pun or Quibble so much admir'd by the Humming-Tribe In which little Arts I have no Skill and less Will as thinking no Rhetorick nor Quotations comparable to that and those in Holy Writ leaving to Pulpit-Stagers the little Hitts Hintings and Glances at Wit unbecoming the Gravity and Grandeur of a Divine and better befitting the levity of a Stage or a Barber's Shop than the sacred Pulpit And as I have no Malice against any Man alive so I do not know nor believe that I have an Enemy in the World but such as are so upon the same Score and for the same Reason with which St. Paul upbraids the bewitched and foolish Galatians Am I therefore become your Enemy because I tell you the Truth Some think our Divisions and Distractions are so great that they will not find a shorter Period than the Wars and Miseries of Greece of the end whereof the Oracle of Apollo being consulted replyed They should surcease when they should double the Altar at Delos which was Cubique-form Whereupon all Hands went to work in haste to add another Altar to the old one of a like Cubique-Form to it but to little Purpose for the Miserie 's abated not a whit But Plato better expounded the riddling God telling them the Oracle meant They should never have end for the doubling a Cube in Solids is as the Quadrature of a Circle in Plano amongst Geometricians or as the Philosophers Stonc amongst the vain-promising and vain-boasting Chymists never alas never to be found out Yet I have other Thoughts more Faith and better Hope that our Distractions will find a happy Conclusion and the Death of the Plots and Sham-Plots in good time be fathom'd sounded to the bottom and discovered yet truly I think as is said of the Altar at Delos a period and end of our Distractions is impossible 'till all Popish Altars Popish Hopes and Popish Claim by the Pope and his Emissaries to these three Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland and the propagation of his Superstition amongst us be extirpate and rooted out nay Root and Branch for there always were Plots Popish Plots in the Reigns of all our Kings ever since the Pope's Supremacy and Usurpations have been rejected and whilst there is a fair prospect and hopes of Redemption of this Golden-Fleece though they be but Glimpses Popish Plots and Conspiracies cannot possibly cease nor the English Scotish and Irish-Papists cease their Assistance and Conspiracies except they apostatize from the Principles of Popery Do they not all follow the Fathers of the Council of Trent into which not a Man was admitted to Vote 'till he had taken this Oath Ego N. c. Papatum Romanae Ecclesiae regulas Sanctorum Patrum adjutor ero ad defendendum retinendum salvo ordine meo contra omnes Homines In English thus I. N. c. will be an Assistant to defend and maintain the Papacy of the Church of Rome and the Commands of the Holy-Fathers the Popes of Rome against all Men Living How inconsistent is this Oath with the Oath of Allegiance and Supremacy How impossible to reconcile these two Oaths How impossible for a Man to be a right and true Papist and at the same time a right and true Subject to a Protestant Prince For which cause no doubt it was made Treason by the Statutes 23 Eliz. cap. 1. and 3 Jacob. 4. In the Reigns of those two wise Princes not only to persuade the King's Subjects bred and educated in the Protestant Religion to apostatize and turn Papists but the very Apostates themselves are Traitors declared in these very Words And if any Person shall after the end of this Session of Parliament by any means be willingly absolved or withdrawn as aforesaid or willingly be reconciled to the Romish Religion before recited or shall promise any Obedience to any such pretended Authority Prince State or Potentate as is aforesaid that then every such Person their Procurors and Counsellors thereunto being thereof lawfully Convicted shall be taken tryed and adjudged and shall suffer and forfeit as in Cases of High Creason Then the said Statute which see at large makes it misprision of Treason wittingly to aid or maintain such an Apostate or conceal his Offence twenty days together without discovering it to a Justice of Peace or other High Officer nay he shall pay an hundred Marks and be imprisoned a Year that shall willingly hear Mass As it follows in the said Statute And by the said Statute tertio Jacobi The Apostate to the Romish Religion shall be indicted tryed and proceeded against as a Traitor either at the Assizes and Goal Delivery of the County for the time being or before the Justices of the Court of Kings-Bench So careful have our Kings and Parliaments been to brand that Julian that being educated in an honest and true Religion built upon Holy Wait should be such a Fool or Knave or Atheist for one of the three or all of the three such an Apostate must be to change such a Religion for a Superstition forged and invented by Prelatical Pride and Rapacity For the maintenance whereof all their pious Frauds and Cheats all their lying Miracles Indulgencies Purgatories Limbus's Crosses Images Agnus Dei's Holy Water Masses Canonizations Prayers to Saints baptizing of Bells Excommunications Fulminations Inquisitions burning of Hereticks Massacres Fopperies Plots and Sham-Plots are calculated design'd and contriv'd I do not think that every silly Papist knows these things for they poor Puppets dance
