ANNO 1610. THE PREAMBLE IT hath bene long since obserued that England whilest it was in captiuitie and bondage vnder the Bishop of Rome was of all other Countreys most oppressed with his intolerable exactions and most heauy impositions In so much as this our most noble Countrey was termed by the Frenchmen the Popes Asse and one of the Popes owne Cardinals in the dayes of Innocentius 4. vnderstanding of the polling and pillage which the Romane Collectors and ministers did vse in this Countrey to the great griefe of the inhabitants thereof of did in compassion vse these wordes to the said Pope Anglia nostrís iniurijs multoties laesa quasi Asina Balaam calcaribus fustibus caesa tandem loquitur obloquitur se nimis intolerabiliter conqueritur fatigatam instaurabiliter damnificatam England many times wounded with our iniuries and beaten as it had bene Balaams asse with spurres and clubs at the last doeth speake and repine at it and doeth complaine that she was too much and intolerably wearied and irrecouerably damnified Into which blockish thraldome this kingdome was brought through the lewdnesse false practises and impostures of the Priests who by their counterfait miracles and Reuelations touching the seuerall paines and punishment of soules in Purgatorie so terrified the mindes of men and women brought vp in ignorance and more then Aegyptiacall darkenes as they led them hither and thither like brute beasts for the compassing of their owne designes that they and the Pope their master might tyrannize as they list And although the iuggling and fraud of the Bishop of Rome and his traiterous brood is now more publiquely knowen to all the world and especially to vs here in England then it was in former times Yet as if we meant to be Asses stil it is incredible how many are dayly seduced with toyes and bables by such lewd Priests and Iesuites as hauing bene traiterously brought vp in the Seminaries beyond the Seas and learned all the false sleights and iuggling trickes that those places can afford doe lurke vpon their stealth into England in many corners within this Realme studying with all their skill not onely to imitate their Predecessors in all their wicked and lewd practises but to goe therein farre beyond them as being Vipers of a more detestable generation then we euer heard of in this Countrey or in any other Christian Kingdome or Nation in the dayes and times of our forefathers And as it is obserued by Philo the Iew of the old Scribes and Pharises before the comming of our Sauiour CHRIST how mightily they preuailed and were followed by women so now it hapneth and falleth out in this Kingdome with that sexe that these new Scribes and Pharises the Iesuites and Priests that adhere vnto them doe strangely bewitch them hauing more secret conuersation with them vnder pretence of Confession then in some politicke considerations perhaps is conuenient It is too well knowen to this false brood of Romish Priests and hypocrites how easily and by what light sleights women may be seduced neither are they ignorant when they haue so done what mischiefe doeth thereby for the most part happen in those families where such seduced women doe liue and beare rule they being commonly very passionate and violent in their affections and opinions But it were lesse hurt if these new Scribes and Pharises did limit their false practises to the inueygling and seducing of women and that they did not in like sort seeke with al their Engines and deuilish stratagems to infect with their poyson young Gentlemen and such others of the Laitie as they can by any meanes induce to giue eare vnto them most men not well grounded being soone weary of the present estate wherein they liue and euer desirous of Nouelties especially we in England if they tend to superstition and Idolatry Whereby it falleth out according to the nature of pestilent corruption and poison which worketh very violently when it is taken that the late sort of Recusants in England men and women of all sorts which haue bene peruerted and poysoned by the said new Iesuiticall brood and other Impostors of their straine are growen into great fury induring with no patience at all to be in any wise impugned For the more violent the poysoned opinions are wherewith they are peruerted the more desperate and audacious they are become to vphold and defend them The Powder-Treason in England had many abetters and that lewd Iesuite Garnet drawen and hanged for his Treason is now become a Martyr and wanteth not the confirmation of his Martyrdome by a strange miracle in a straw deuised and published by two lewd Recusants in London one Griffin a tailor and Wilkinson a yong silke man And it is not to be doubted a Iesuite very lately hauing written an Apologie in the behalfe of the said lewd Traitor the same being approued by the Generall of the Iesuites in Rome after it was allowed by three other Iesuites but that our Recusants in England of the furious stampe will hereafter as they dare iustifie the said villainous Traitour When the Oath of Allegiance Anno 3. Regis Iacobi was made and confirmed by Act of Parliament it is probably supposed that all the Recusants in England would willingly haue taken it as sundry of them began had not the Iesuits opposed themselues and procured the Pope to commaund the contrary Since which time it is euident how many haue refused as being bewitched and cast into a reprobate sense to receiue the said Oath diuers euen of the more moderate sort as well Priests as other persons pretending that they cannot in conscience receiue it because the trayterous positions concerning the deposing or murthering of Princes by their Subiects there being little difference betwixt them in that it hath bene seldome seene that such trayterous Subiects as were able to depose their Soueraignes did euer thinke it policie to suffer them to liue are there termed to be Haereticall False and diabolicall assuredly they are and directly contrary to the two first Commandements of the second Table Honour thy father and mother and Thou shalt doe no murther And then if they haue bene wilfully and publiquely defended by any why they should not be acknowledged for damnable Haeresies I for my part cannot discerne For I agree in iudgement herein with Grosthead Bishop of Lincolne in the dayes of Henry the 3. King of this Realme where he defineth Haeresie in these words Haeresis est sententia humano sensu electa
