A95878	Babylons beautie: or The Romish-Catholicks svveet-heart. Containing a most lively and lovely description of Romes cardinall vertues and rarest endowments, with her apostolicall benedictions on kings and kingdomes, under her tyrannicall subjection; briefly and bravely depainted, in their native-splendour. A worke most seasonably composed for the revived eternall shame of all the mad-maintainers and idolizers of Romes great Diana, so cried-up and fought for, now a daies, by papists, atheists, and formall malignant Protestants. / By John Vicars.	Vicars, John, 1579 or 80-1652.	1644 (1644)	Wing V293; Thomason E44_9; ESTC R23310	32,354	40

which the Emperour accordingly did whereupon the Pope like self-flated Nebuchadnezzar or indeed most like Lucifer himselfe trod with his foot on the Emperours necke and with his proud heart and mouth most blasphemously abused that Scripture Thou shalt goe upon the Aspe and Basiliske and upon the Lion and the Dragon shalt thou tread O intolerable impudence and monstrous pride and blasphemie The beslaved Emperour herewith ashamed made answer with his necke still on the ground Not to thee but to Peter Whereat the Pope stamping againe contemptuously upon the Emperours necke said Both to me and to Peter Herewith the poore Emperour was forced to be content and silent and so was absolved from his Excommunication by the Pope Yea and this very same Pope as Robert Mortensis an Historian testifies made Lewis King of France and Henry King of England goe on foot as his Lackeyes and hold the bridle of his horse whereon the Pope rod the one on the right and the other on the left-hand and thus in great pompe and Satanicall pride they led him through the City of Boyancie which borders on the river Lucra And of Pope Sistus the fourth it is recorded that he made no reckoning to goe up and downe in his house cloathed with the richest cloth of gold the covering of his beds being also of cloth of gold the basons also wherein he did his necessaries were of pure silver and that he caused the shooes of his friend Tereza to be covered with very rich and precious stones And thus I thinke I have briefly and bravely painted out the diabolicall Pride and insolencie being the first part of Babylons Beautie the rare effigies of this dissembled Apostolicall humble Servant of Servants but indeed most arrogant and supercilious Lord of Lords and King of kings And now the next conspicuous colour which so illustrates the Beauty of Babylon shall be her accursed Covetousnesse her infatiated griping and greedie avarice hungring and thirsting like a bottomlesse whirlpoole after gold and gaine ex re qualibet by hooke or by crooke by Simony or Sodomie as these following examples will make most cleare and evident to any unblinded eye in the world Benet the 9th Pope of Rome sold away his Popedome to Gregorie the 6th for a 1500 lb. in gold And Frederick the 2d Emperour of Rome paid for but one absolution or pardon to Pope Gregorie the 9th an 125000 ounces of gold as it is recorded in the Romish Pontificall and those other Writers Naucleer Pineda and others who speake with the least thereof confesse an 120. thousand ounces to have been paid to the Pope as afore-said Yea the King of Spaine as Josephus Angles testifies was forced to pay an 100000 Duckets for one indulgence or pardon to the Pope And for money the Popes of Rome allow publike Stewes both in Italy Spaine and Rome it selfe even under the Popes nose insomuch that as the Writers of Romes rare acts doe testifie the yearly rent and revenew which now of later times came to the Pope for the allowance of those publike Stewes came to full 40000 Duckets which was constantly paid in by the Curtizans or Whores And in particular Pope Paul the third enjoyed the rent of above 40000 Whores which were in Rome the rent being a julio or Spanish-royall every weeke which came to a mightie masse of money in the yeare And it is recorded of Pope Boniface the ninth that in the time of his hearing masse such was their papall devotion or rather devotation he used to sell Benefices for large sums of money And in speciall to come nearer home our Kingdome of England hath been so miserably exhausted by the yearly taxations imposed on it and extracted from it by those skilfull but most hatefull gold Alchymists of Rome that indeed Rome proved a most devouring bottomlesse gulfe to our State supping-up and swallowing down into her insatiable paunch the creame and fat of the whole kingdome so as the Popes prey and spoiles in this kingdome were by credible Writers accounted equall very neare to the Kings of Englands owne yearly revenewes Insomuch that England was commonly stiled the Popes Asse And the writers of those times compared this our kingdome to a fruitfull Vineyard spoyled by every one that passed by and rooted up by the wilde Boare of the wood the Pope of Rome By reason of which Romes horrible rapine and unlimitable covetousnesse Mantuan an ancient Writer of Romes rarities hath given Rome and that most rightly this title and inscription Venalia Romae Templa Sacerdotes Altaria Sacra Coronae Ignis Thura Preces Coelum est venale Deusque That is At Rome We Priesthood Churches sell for pelfe Pray'rs Altars Crownes Masse Fires Heav'n God himselfe And thus as you have had a summary sight of Babylons Beautie in this pale and whitely colour of Covetousnesse and most excessive griping Avarice So I shall now desire the Reader to cast his modest eyes if he can endure it a little while on Romes ramish and right whorish Incontinencie and most unchast painted Braverie or rather Bawderie And here in the first place I shall give you one undeniable cause of incontinencie in the Priests of Rome from the top to the toe from the Pope their holy Father himselfe to the most base and beggarly inferiour Fryers and hedge-priests of Rome besides the publike toleration of Stewes as afore-said a most stinking streame from a most filthy fountaine namely the Popes most horribly pernicious Decree to make it unlawfull for any of their Priests or Ecclesiasticks to marry by which means in the dayes of Pope Gregorie who first forbad Priests marriage this said Pope afterward causing a fish pond of his to be fish'd and sewed in the cleansing of the pond they found to the number of 6000. sculs of little Infants in that one pond which had been begot in that unchaste condition of Priests about him and had been murthered and cast into this the Popes pond Pope Joan alias Pope John the eighth an English-Woman a right Whore of Rome indeed without figure or Allegorie In the time of her Papacie even whiles she was Popesse committed reall and carnall Whoredome with a slave which she kept and put much trust in for such filthy and loathsome secrets with whom she used much yea it seemes too much familiarity in this kind and by whom she prooved with child yet so secretly was it carried that none but they two knew it till it pleased God the great Explorator and discoverer of all secrets to bring it to open knowledg and shame in the very streets as she past along in accustomed Papall pompe to visit forsooth St John de Lateran being come to a certaine place in Rome betweene the Church of St Clement and the Theatre with sudden and extreme paine she there brought forth a creature to the wonderfull amazement of all that were present and
