B21152	The increase of popery in England, since the reformation made by King Henry VIII shewing the great encouragement that priests, Jesuits, and other promoter of that bloudy religion have had from persons of power and authority, the discouragements and notorious hardships, even to silencing, and banishment from cities and corporations, that have been the portion of many able and faithful Protestant ministers, that have eminently opposed it : with an essay towards what may possibly befall the Churches of Christ from the hellish contrivances and damnable plots of Romish emissaries : with a faithful extract out of the most authentick records of the most memorable things referring to the reformation, viz. Henry VIII, his reasons given in his proclamation for taking away the Popes usurped power, his protestation against the pope, his injunctions to his clergy, Bishop St[e]phen Gardener's oath or protestation, and his reasons against the Popessupremacy in England and the publick agreement of the whole clergy of England, as confirmed and ratified in the book called the Bishops book, published in the year 1534 / by ..

and Buildeth this City Jericho which was accordingly fulfiled in Hiel the Bethelite in the days of Ahab I am very well assured that that and a greater Curse will be the Portion of that Man from the Lord that shall rise up and Rebuild this Spiritual Babylon again in England to wit the Antichristian Church which the Word and Power of God hath destroyed and now for several happy Years kept out of this Nation Et nunc Reges intelligite erudimini qui Judicatis terram Be wise now therefore O Ye Kings be instructed Ye that judge the Earth And Oh ye People be not as the Horse and Mule that have no Understanding but as Men at least and if it may be as Christians consider and weigh well with your selves the great and inexplicable Evils that the poor Nation now groans under none can tell for how long some of which are these that follow and greater cannot be told 1. The Suppressing the Glorious Light of the Gospel and Banishing it out of Publique View the silencing the Grace of Christs own Lips and causing the Joyful Sound that Proclaims the Acceptable Year of the Lord to cease out of our Borders And this is the Evil of Evils and the Misery of Miseries which brings all other Evils and Miseries along with it yea this shuts up the Kingdom of Heaven from the World and sets Hell wide open for all men to run headlong into it as we see it done this day This excludes the Love Mercy and Goodness of God from the World as much as possibly it can and brings in his Wrath and heavy Displeasure to wast and consume it of which we have had the sad and most exquisite Experience now alas for several years together For since the Gospel under several Mulcts and Penalties hath been forbidden to be Preach'd how many Manifestations of Gods Just Anger have we seen in many strange and unusual Prodigies in the Heavens in the Earth in the Waters c. being loud Warnings of the Wrath to come What a grievous and desolating Plague the Scourge of the Almighty hath destroyed Thousands and Ten Thousands in that late great C●● and in many other parts of the Nation the like whereunto hath not been heretofore What a dreadful Conflagration hath devoured that Famous and Incomparable City the Head and Glory of these Nations and laid it in Ashes and Ruines like Sodom and Gomorrah which Cities were set on Fire from Heaven but this from Hell by the Locusts of the Bottomless Pit the Emissaries of the Pope and his Clergy which Vermin have swarmed in this Nation since the removal of the Gospel And this provoking Sin is not so much the Sin of the People as of the Powers of the Nation who as it were of very Malice have openly renounced Christ and desired Barabbas to be given to them in his stead they have rejected the Sweet and Meek Gospel of Christ and have desired to be given to then the Cruel and Murderous Religion of Antichrist a Religion written in Red Letters even in Letters of Bloud for it hath shed the bloud of innumerable Saints and Martyrs in the several Ages since Antichrist first lift up his Head out of Hell into this World seduceing the Powers of the World to take part with him in this bloudy Work This Religion or rather this Iniquity in the Suburbs of it we see Erected already and now the great City thereof is ready to be built again and this Kingdom of Darkness could never have been founded but in the absence of the Light which they have violently chased away And this one thing carrys weight in it that they who tolerate Popery to take its ease among us and to lengthen its Cords and to strengthen its Stakes though it be directly against Christ and they who tolerate the open exercise of the Jewish Religion which denies and blasphemes Christ will by no means suffer nor endure the true and sincere Gospel of Christs Kingdom to be published by any but under great Penalties Whereby they declare that they are of one Council and Work with Satan who hath with all his Subtilty and Cruelty fought against Christ and his Gospel from the first day of their Heavenly Birth hitherto This is the first and greatest Evil the Nation mourns and groans under but this is not all For Secondly From hence follows the greatest and deepest ignorance of God and Christ that can be and of all their unsearchable Riches which the Gospel hath discovered to the World The greatest ignorance of the Law and of the Gospel of Sin and of Righteousness of Salvation and Damnation of Heaven and Hell in a word the grossest ignorance of all the Revealed Truths of God which concern us either to obtain Eternal Life or to avoid Endless Death So that in India and Ethiopia in Calno and Carchemish in Pathros and Cush in Mesech and the Tents of Kedar there is not greater ignorance of Christ and his Gospel and of the way of Salvation to be found than in many places and among many People in England the true report that may be given of it is even incredible And would it not grievously affect any Christian Mans heart to behold so many thousands of Children in this Nation brought up without any right instruction in the Christian Religion Oh consider what a Profane and Heathenish Nation this must necessarily become in a few years for what the Children and Youths now are the Common-Wealth will be in twenty or thirty Years And what a bruitish and beast-like Generation will then People be in this Land if the Lord take not care of this matter in the mean time When few will be found who shall know any more of Christs Name than what thay capacitate them to blaspheme it or of his most Precious Death and Crucifying more than to serve them to Swear by his Bloud and Wounds For the glorious Sun of Divine Knowledge is three quarters Eclipsed already the Good Lord prevent the Total Eclipse thereof by sending forth again Ministers of his own choosing and anointing to feed his People with true Knowledge and Understanding Thirdly The third Misery we sigh under is the overflowing of Iniquity like the mighty Waves of the Sea Never was there such a Deluge of Sin seen upon Earth as now covers the Face of the Nation this is even become the covering of all Flesh All sorts of People of High and Low Degree whether Secular or Ecelesiastical are all drencht and dyed in it in such sort that Men live in this World in the manifest likeness of the Devil and if Satan himself were Incarnate you could not easily discern one from the other They set their Faces against Heaven and call out upon God to Damn them Soul and Body So Divelish they are that they would fain be tormented before their time and do often provoke Hell to swallow them up for because they can be no liker to the Devil in this World they
