How many Princes have I poysoned in my Sacrament which my Emissaries have Transubstantiate into a Devil rather than a God. How many Kingdoms have I ruin'd How many Common-wealths have I overturned How many Cities have I razed And how many Millions of Christians have I sacrificed to my vindictive Power and Greatness And dare you Cope with me Remember what I did to John King of England whom my holy Monk Stephan poisoned in Lincoln-shi●e Come then to me in a humble manner as to God's Deput Christ's Vicar and St. Peter's Successor and restore all my Church-Lands which my Ancestors have for several Generations purloined from Kings and Princes for the sanctified Use of the holy Chair and swear fealtly to me as to your Supream-Head and holy Father and I will be reconciled to you and all English-Men Yea tho' Peter King of Arragon willingly bought his Salvation from Pope Innocent the 3d. at the rate of his Crown and Kingdom I will freely pardon you all your Sins past present and to come And for your unruly Rabble that indigested lump of Ignorance and percipitancy I will have compassion on them and send them as many old useless Merits and Works of Supererogation as would laden a Spanish Armado which will send them in a perpendicular line to Heaven without touching at Purgatory And to ingratiate my self further in the Kingdom of England's Favour I will Licentiate your Ladies of pleasure in London and all Females in general there to Whore pick pockets for a Julio or Six pence a week which is no more than my own Order of Harlots pay at Rome and all Italy over And to all Men within the Walls of London and Westminster I will freely give Liberty to be as intimate with their Neighbours Wives as ever Pope Hildebrand was with Mathilda the Marquess of East's Lady Or Pope Alexander the 6th was with his own Daughter Lucretia And in one Word I will let the Inhabitants of the whole Isle of Britain fulfil their Hearts desire in all kind of Villanies and Abominations without sinning For as Bellarm. tells you I can make that which is Sin no Sin and that which is no Sin Sin. But if you will not submit your self nor humble your Highness to my Holyness then will I cloath my self with cursing and take the Thunderbolt of Excommunication in my mouth with the Sword of Supremacy I will cut asunder the Cords of Unity and with the breath of my mouth will I dissipate the peace of all Nations I will incense my Rebellious first born His most Christian Majesty of FRANCE to invade your Territories burn you● Cities put your Males to the edge of the Sword and rip up your Women with Child without pitty or compassion as he lately served your Tribe in his own Kingdom And as I once served the Waldenses and Albigenses I will privately contrive your overthrow by my desperate Jesuites Monks and Friers whom I will after Death Canonize for Murther Mischief and Conspiracy I will found an Order of Irish Cut-Throats men mighty for Mischief who will divide the Wind-pipes of all Protestants and substract breath from their whole Bodies They shall dig as deep
