TO OVR DEARELY BELOVED SONNE THE most Pious and most Religious Primate of the Romane Church and to all our dearely beloved Children the Cardinals and Lordly Bishops in Europe Haste Haste Poste Haste Your intire Prince and God of this world Lucifer Prince of Darknes and Superstition King of Stiks and Phlegeton Supreame Lord of Gehenna Tartaria Colmakia Samoyedia Lappia Corelia and Colmagoria Prince Abyssus and sole commander of Seeberia Alteenia Pecheora and of all the infernall furies and their punife the Jesuites Priests and Semenaries Sendeth Greeting MOst dearely beloved Sonne and you our dutifull Children whose sanctity we reverence whose persons we adore whose wisdomes wee admire at whose policies we wonder at whose power we muse and at whose invincible stratagems we stand amazed Nor can wee in the first place but extoll applaud and most highly commend thee our deare Sonne for the extraordinary care in the advancement of our Kingdome And as next in place the extraordinary diligent and vigilant care of all our beloved children the Lordly Bishops in the advancement of our Regall power to the great enlargement of our infernall dominions by their rare and subtill plots and stratagems And in a more speciall manner wee are pleased through our infernall grace and favour to extoll them for this their present and excellent invention in sowing discord amongst the English hereticks as also in provoking the Scots hereticks to an apparant opposition against their King yea so farre as to an invasion of the Territories of England all which services are most deare and acceptable unto us In respect of which services as also for their fidelity to us and our Kingdome we have caused our principall Secretary of estate Don Antonio Furioso Diabolo to make an especiall Inroulement of their names in our Calend amongst those our deare servants the plotters of the Gun-powder-treason and the most renowned the complotters of the former Invasion of England in the year of grace 1588. and since the creation of the world 5609. both which services although their events were no wayes answerable according to our Royall expectation yet those instruments that so freely adventured themselves in them shall be ever renowned in our court infernall and most acceptable to our person And for the better incouragement of these our trusty and wel-beloved servants in the speedier advancement of this worke now intended for the utter extirpation of all hereticks and increase of our regall power we are pleased by this our Royall manuell to give unto them assurance of our aide and best assistance in the most efficacious manner that our Princely power can extend unto And because our former stratagems put in execution by our beloved Cozen and Counsellor the King of Spaine were by him no wayes effected according to our Princely expectation Wee have now therefore imposed our Princely command upon our beloved servant the King of France at the humble sute made unto us by our children the Lordly Bishops and by some of our servants of greatest quality in the Realme of England as also by our servants the Jesuites and Romane Catholicks of England to have a puissant armie in readinesse for the Invasion of England at such a time as those our children and servants shall conceive it most convenient and efficacious And further our will and pleasure is that you our deare Son shall still persist to stir up and incourage our children the Arch-bishops as also the disciples and our loyall subjects and servants the Jesuites Priests and Seminaries to this worke that they with all their might together with our powerfull policies granted unto them may strive to effect this worke with all celerity that we may once more see our Kingdome of Superstition re-established in the Monarchie of Great Brittain and Ireland The motives to be pressed inducing them to the expeditious effecting of the same is principally their respect to our Kingly honour next their own increase of greatnes for we promise assure them by the word of a King infernall That every of them shall raigne as Princes under us not onely over the bodies and estates of men but also over their soules by and through the many infernall graces by us most freely and benignely conferred on them and hereby to make them the more sensible of these our severall graces conferred on them we are pleased therefore here at present to expresse but some few of them in particular as namely pride vain-glory hypocrisie selfe-love of themselves and of this present world love of will worship and advancement of Idolatry Together with that speciall gift of covetousnesse the onely pillar to all the rest of our infernall graces conferred on them Thirdly in respect of the cleare passage by us made for them by setting the hereticks for this long time at variance amongst themselves by our trusty servants the Lawyers and advancement of Idolatry amongst them The onely meanes in our Princely wisdome conceived to be to the breaking of the bond of unity and peace thereby to provoke the great God of heaven to leave them to themselves and to our powerfull stratagems We are likewise pleased to take speciall notice of that service done by our children the Lordly Bishops in working the dissolution of the assembly of Parliament in May last past 1640. by which meanes nothing was effected for the good of hereticks either concerning their Church or Common-wealth so as the successe of this designe of ours was thereby no wayes hindered you are likewise to let them know from us that the Noblemen of England be disheartered the Gentry daunted 〈◊〉 divided the number of our servants the Roman Catholicks infinitely increased and the Realme in generall greatly oppressed not onely by the sundry Monopolies but also by the invincible oppressing power of our children the Lordly Bishops the multitude of our servants the corrupt Judges base minded Lawyers seditious Atturnies and woodden-headed Doctors of our civill lawes Proctors Prothonotaries Registers Advocates Solicitors and Apparators whom wee have caused to swarme like to the Egyptian Locusts over all the land for the sowing of

that effect You are likewise to let them know that out of our Princely respect to them
