Prodigious Fund was quickly Erected for so Great and Pious a Work First The Pope himself to be a good Pattern to others conveys into his Sacred Treasury by Paulus de Oliva or Paul Olive Eleven Thousand Crowns I wonder He made it not even Twelve and the Crown 's Pounds His own full Coffers Revel 18.12 might well enough have born it besides the Regaining of England to His Revenue would well enough have Countervail'd that Cost Secondly The Catholick King His Eldest Son of Spain shames his Holy Father in Advancing Ten Thousand Pounds by Peter Jeronimus thus his Indian Gold was Expended Thirdly His Most Christian Son of France to shew himself the better Christian or rather Antichristian Advanceth Ten Thousand Pound more by Father Le Cheese what a shame it is that His Holiness should be out done by both his Sons when it was peculiarly His Cause and He would have Run away with the Profit Fourthly I wonder we hear nothing of the Emperors Charity was it because he was too Nigardly or because the Male-Contents of Hungary kept his Coffers Empty however divers considerable Sums were transmitted to Coleman by Foreign Ministers among whom He from Germany might be one Fifthly But the English Jesuits supposing the Emperor to be too Narrow Soul'd Ex Abundanti supply'd all Defects they having Threescore Thousand Pound per Annum Estate in Land here and an Hundred Thousand Pound Ready Cash a constant Running Stock in the way of their Trade which you know is the Mystery of Iniquity Sixthly The Benedictine Monks not to be thrust out as Rotten contribute out of their Blessed Treasure Six Thousand Pound to purchase the Popes Benediction whom they also exceeded in their Benevolence c. Seventhly God Bless us here 's the Third Six again and so we have got the exact Number of the Beast Six and Six and Six or Six Hundred Sixty Six and to make up this Number compleat the English Catholick as well as Romon Grandees were free Contributors of most Ample Benevolencies to this so Great and so Glorious a Work No sooner had this Innocent Pope thus provided Himself though He as to his part comes off but Stingily with quantum sufficit or rather suffocat as to Justice Godfrey both of Men and Money He then sends forth His hungry Beagles to Hunt the harmless Hare that never gave them the least provocation but He must do it 't is the nature of the Beast to worry the Harmless and 't is the custome which is a second nature of this Innocent Pope to be notoriously Nocent to the Innocent The First Innocent He Assaults with his greedy Hounds is no less than our King God Bless Him Grove and Tickering are hired to shoot Him Conyers and Anderton to stab Him four Irish Ruffians to Godfrey Him Sir George Wakeman to poyson Him Out of the way with Him any way they cry since He will not comply with our Plot. Secondly The Duke of York shall fare no better unless He will turn Tenant to this Innocent Pope for his Kingdom as well as for his Religion and pardon the Murtherers of his Brother the Burners of the City c. and the Massacrers of the People c.

First An Holy Rag clip'd off from Christs Seamless Coat 't is a wonder how the Pope got it from the Soldier to whom it fell by casting Lots and 't is a wonder they have not clip'd it all away by this time Secondly The Holy Relick of the very Slippers Christ wore when He being weary with walking about doing Good put off his Shoes for the ease of his Feet surely they were made of well Tan'd Leather that lasts still and are not Rotten to Dirt ere this Day and I wonder the Pope doth expose them and not Monopolize them to himseif for they cannot want a Vertue to Cure his Gouty Golls 'T is strange we hear nothing of his Shooes in the Popes Warehouse the Latchets whereof John Baptist though the Greatest Born of Women thought himself Unworthy to Unloose Matth 11.11 Luke 3.16 Thirdly The very Linnen Cloth with which Christ was wrap'd in the Sepulchre as likewise that wherewith Christ wiped his Disciples Feet I am thinking the Man that Cries in our Streets Here 's your strong lasting Linnen Cloth might do good Service in this Romish Market Fourthly The very Needles Thread Work-Basket and Scissers of the Virgin Mary which would be excellently useful for an Exchange-shop and could not sail to bring in a whole shoal of Chapmen c.

The Second Expedient propounded by this Pope there was this You Jesuits must be my Locusts my Beutefeaus to go into the Courts of all these Kingdomes and set them all on a light Fire in Warring one against another that my Religion which hath grown very cold ever since Unhappy Luther call'd the Pope Antichrist may be warmed again with those very Flames that I by you my Engines have kindled You know Christ hath made me a Fisher of Men as before and I find it best Fishing in Troubled Waters Nay I am the true Salamander that can best live in the Flames of Foreign and Secular Princes Contentions c. The Third Proposal was to Depose those Kings that will not Truckle and to Expose their Kingdomes primo occupaturo the first that can win it let them wear it I will warrant the Assault of the Aggressor c. The Fourth nimble Trick he Proposed was saying Though I have a Thausand more Reaching and Effectual Knacks to offer yet seeing you know them all so well 't is superfluous to mention more save onely this which is Instar Omnium You must in Reducing all others Begin with that Stubborn Kingdome of England which hath been more fatal to my Tripple Crown than all other Kingdomes and when you

have made a Breakfast of that then make your Dinner of this c. and your Supper of that c. and so go on and my Blessing go with you Thus ended the Seraphical or rather Diabolical Oration of this Innocent Grave old Gentleman that never did nor ever will do Harm to any This done the Damnable Popish Plot was in all its Parts and Paragraphs contrived c. The Romish Fry of Priests and Jesuits who were soon Hatch'd and grew Fledge under his Holiness's Wing came Flying over in great Wild-goose Flocks into England we may suppose they came fully furnished with their Pick-Iccks of Pardons with their Padlocks of Auricular Confession and all other useful Engines to promote their Hellish Project the Sum whereof in the general was to Subvert the Establish'd Government and Religion of this Kingdom and to Reduce the same to the Foppery of Popery yea and 't was concluded at the Consult which these Romish Emissaries came to Accomplish that no manner of Tolleration should be granted to any sort of Protestants but all such should be Extirpated Root Branch and if all other means failed it should be effected by Fire and Sword The cheif Conspirators who designed and were engaged to carry on this Bloudy project must be thus Ranked in a lasting Record ☞ First The Fountain of these Bitter Waters and Original of all was this Present Pope Innocent the 11th who in the Congregation de propaganda Fide consisting of about 350 Persons all fit Tools for the Devils Work and held about December 1677. as soon as he was well warm in Peter's Chair He Plots even in that cold Season work Hot enough for poor England Then was it He belchd out that nocent rather than Innocent Oration aforementioned Declaring further that this Kingdome was a part of St. Peters Patrimony and was forfeited to the Holy See by the Heresy both of Prince and People and so must be disposed of as he thought meet though this Pope was the primus motor the primum mobile or great Wheel that moved all the lower Orbs and set all the lesser Wheels on Work yet let us take a short view of his Under-Engines before we more fully give him his due Character upon this last which at the last day will be a great Account also to wit his Plots as before his Cheats in the one a crafty Fox in the other a cruel Tyger and surely whoever were the Instruments the Members the Hands and the Feet for Acting this Bloudy Plot to Reduce England to the Roman Rotten Religion we shall find Him the Head and Principal Agent My Design is here to set the Saddle upon the Right Horse 'T is a Thousand pitties that the petty larceners should be Hang'd and Beheaded though that be no more than what both Distributive and Commutative Justice most Justly Required and the grand Thief that set them all on work escape Scot-free How many did pity those poor mercenary Rogues that were Executed for that Inhumane and Cowardly Murther of that Eminent Patriot Esquire Thinn when they saw Count

suffer either the one or the other long to live because the God of Justice hath peremptorily said that the Bloudy and Deceitful Men shall not live out half their days Psal 55.23 Take here a Distinct List and Catalogue of the chief Plotters in this Late and Damnable Plot and View them from Head to Foot from Top to Toe as they stand Ranked in our English Records and Orderly Registred for everlasting Remembrance First This Present Pope Innocent the Eleventh the Master of all the Misrule and Matchless Mischief as the Philosopher saith of Finis 't is primus Intentione but ultimus Executione So must I say of this Fino Filth He is the first in Intention his Cursed Character being the principal end proposed in this present Discourse yet must He come last in Execution not onely in the Method of this Platform but also for ought I yet see in the Measures of Gods Providence For the Law of Justice compared to the Cobweb that catches the lesser Flyes but cannot keep the great ones c. is too Low and Short Handed as to Man to Reach so High and so Far as the Great Goff of Rome Yet surely in due Season His Sin shall find him out by the great God Numb 32.23 unto whom we must leave Him for He is the God of Vengeance Justice is His and He will Repay Deut. 32.35.43 Rom. 12.19 Secondly Cardinal Howard by Birth both an English Man and Brother to the Great Duke of Norfolk So one of the Popes first and fittest Engines to Betray England into His Holinesses Hands that thereby this Cardinal might the more Merit Saint Peters Chair upon this Popes Departure from it and then this Sweet Bit our Land would prove a Sowceing Augmentation to Peters Patrimony Therefore as the Pope was Lord High Admiral in the whole See of Rome So it was concluded by the Cabal in the Colledg de propaganda fide that this same English Cardinal should be his Vice Admiral and hereupon He was dispatch'd away from Rome to be the Popes Legatus a Latere or a None Such Nuncio into England upon such an unparalleld Errand as never any Embassadour durst undertake which was to take possession of it in this Popes Name as if it had been elaps'd into his Hands for want of either Heir or Possessour though Blessed be God it hath both and needs none of the Popes false Claims or foul usurpations and to make this Cardinal more brisk in his exploit the Pope Creates Him Arch-Bishop of Canterbury as if there had been a Vacancy too and that Sees Vast Revenue being look'd upon as too little a Bribe for so Heroick an undertaker the Pope ordains Him Forty Thousand Crowns per Annum out of His own Coffers where there is Gold and Silver enough c. Rev. 18.12 13. as a necessary supplement to that pittiful Arch-Bishoprick the Best and Richest in England that He might be had in more Veneration and the better Support His Authoritative Grandieur And as if this alone were below this Innocent Harmless Pope like another proud Haman to lay His Violent Hands onely upon our Mordecai the Bishop of Canterbury as well as King Charles the Second to Dispossess them both of their Crown and Miter but He daringly Dispossesseth so far as the good will of the evil Beast would stretch most of our other Bishops promoting His own Popelings as so many Interlopers in their places as Father Perrot to York Corker to London Whitebread to Winchester Strange to Durham Godder to Salisbury Napper to Norwich c. I appeal to all those Bishops whom this Pope would have turned out to Grazing unless they could have turned in to Him
