Their attempts afterward appeared more plain to be both against the King the Queen the State the Church Queen Katherine Par Earl Cromwel c. yea and the whole Land too for all their pretences and deceitfull boastings They appeared to be but Woolfes in Fox skins for they were the chief cause then in attempting of the death of the Queen of some good Nobles and many faithfull subjects besides They by their dealings with us expose both King Queen Prince Parliament c. to danger And our Prelates are their right shapen sons qualified with as blood thirstie spirits as they Do they not to this day expose the whole Land to danger for them sparing neither King Queen Prince States Parliament Church nor the whole land Do they not more earnestly solicite for seven condemned Iesuites then for the poore distressed Kingdome of Ireland nay doth it not easily appeare that they had rather expose us all to the mercilesse cruelty of the Popish then themselves to be bereft of their Pope-like domineering They are blood suckers In a word how do the Papists Prelates in Ireland suck the English Protestant blood there And how do the English Prelates labour daily to make England to become a slaughter house to them that therby they may share our blood amongst them and so we become their prey 7.
