VI. A short Catalogue or rehearsall of certaine Emperors Kings and famous men who haue beene persecuted by the Antichrist of Rome I Cannot nor will not enterprise to declare all the particular persecutions of the Church of Rome against seuerall Kings and Potentates who distasted and in some sort opposed themselues against their corruptions for that would require a long Tractate to discouer the miserable mischiefes of the whore of Babilon drunken with the bloud of Saints and with the bloud of the Martyrs of Iesus Christ for that were an endlesse worke and the Spirit of truth might say to me as to Ezechiel Turne thee againe and thou shalt see greater abhominations then these I will confine my selfe to a few examples The Emperour Philippicus Bardanius because hee commanded all Images to be remoued out of the Churches by the counsell and consent of Iohn Patriarke of Constantinople was denounced an Hereticke publiquely excommunicated by Pope Constantine and commanded no gold nor siluer to be stamped with his Image nor any mention made of him in their common prayers Lodouicus Pius the Emperor eight hundred yeares after Christ was thrust out of his Kingdome by the French Cleargie and the Pope Philip the Emperor by the procurement of the Pope Innocent the third who said Eyther he would haue Philips Crowne or Philip his Miter continually opposed himselfe against him and stirred vp Count Otho against him who miserably did slay him at Bamberge in his priuy chamber Henry the seuenth oppressed by the Pope and his Cardinals stirring vp enemies against him was at last poysoned by a Monke in the Sacrament I omit to speake of the other Henries tragically vexed by tyrannicall Popes the extreamities and indignities whereunto they brought them haue replenished the world with plentifull histories The Emperor Fredericke the seauenth truely complaining That the happines of Emperors was alwaies opposed by the Popes enuy Neyther haue the Kings of the earth found better vse some of them by Popes deposed from their Kingdomes as Childericke the French King by the Pope deposed vnder pretence of stupidity and thrust into a Monastery Philip the first for matrimoniall causes Philip called the faire for collating of benefices Rachis King of the Lombards by Pope Zachary put into a Monastery with many others which might be named Nay not onely by Popes deposed but of their liues depriued Manfred the King of Naples and Sicily had the Duke of Anien armed against him by Pope Vrbane the fourth by whom hee was slaine So Conradinus King of Naples and Sicilye being taken prisoner by Charles brother to the French King was miserably put to death by the Popes Counsell King Iohn of England was vilely vexed and depriued of his Kingdome by the Pope and his Bishops and the French King set vp against him and at last was poysoned by a Monke Ioane the Queene of Naples was depriued of her Kingdome by Pope Vrbane who consented to her murther Gemin Otto the brother of the great Turke being prisoner was poysoned by the Pope hired thereunto by a

In handling of which Subiect I will discourse principally of foure generall things 1. Of the plot and proiect it selfe 2. Of the Persons 3. Of the Causes or motiues 4. Of the ends By these foure markes I will guide my selfe in the description of this Chaos of confusion CHAP. II. 1. Of the Plot. IN the declaration of this direfull and detestable Powder-plot I may beginne with the words of Aeneas relating to Queene Dido of the fall of Troy yet with a little Inuersion Anglorum vt opes lamentabile regnum Eruerent Danai Quanquam animus 〈…〉 horret luctuque refugit Incipiam My heart doth shake with trembling feare amazt How famous England a rich flourishing Land By Papists Powder-plot had beene defac't And Troynouant like Troy in fiery ruines stand Had not the Lord put forth his sauing hand As Treason is a worke of darkenesse so these working Traytors wrought in darkenesse their plot of hellish pollicy and impiety concealed in a place of darkenesse Subterraneum foramen A place vnder the Earth they wrought vnder the ground beginning their Mine the eleauenth of December 1604 neare to the wall of the Parliament house Itum est in viscera terrae Atque oculis captifodere cubilia talpae Ouid. These blinded Pyoners to the Prince of hell Labor in darkenesse and in darkenesse dwell Deepe politicians to vndermine a State what depth in deuising cunning in contriuing cost in preparing sweat in labouring closenesse in conueying Ingeniosa crudelitas ad poenas Men of cruel wits to crucifie their Countrey but the Lords potent wisdome eluded the profound policies of these monstrous and mischieuous Earthwormes In which damnable plot two points considerable 1. Their secrecy 2. Their cruelty in it Secrecy both in the Act and Agents 1. Vnder the Earth the bosome of all secrets 2. In the Agents who sweare and take the Sacrament for secrecy Strange impiety to take the Sacrament the Seale of Grace to commit not a crying sinne of blood but a roaring and thundering sinne of fire and brimstone This is Popish practise vsually to tie themselues for performance of their desperate deeds by taking the Sacrament in which they hold Christs body and blood really present and thereupon make a bargaine to shed reall yea royall blood Nullus sâ—mel are receptus Sangâ—… fâ—nces I may say of them as Iacob of Simeon and Leui Brethren in euill the Instruments of cruelty are their habitations into their secret let not my soule come These Gun-powder-Traytors first in their mine consulting with the Prince of Darknesse the president of their plot and counsell and the combining and conspiring with themselues in the deepest secrecy for the perpetrating this inhumane villany and hauing from the eleauenth of December 1604 vnto Candlemasse next laboured vnder the ground and brought their wicked worke through halfe the wall of the Parliament House vpon a new opportunity leaue their vndermining worke Daemonum opus The Diuels worke and hire the Vault or Cellar vnder the Parliament house And as before these Diuels Iourney-men laboured vnder the Earth so now framing and machinating sub Senatu vnder the Parliament House to make a finall dissolution there which is the famous place of publike reformation and therefore secretly doe conuey great store of powder thither about 36 barrels of powder couered ouer with store of wood and billet and to vse Dauids words Lo the wicked bend their Bowe and make ready their Arrowes vpon the string that they may secretly shoote at them which are vpright in heart for the foundations shall be cast downe and what hath the righteous done And as the same Prophet They incourage themselues in a wicked purpose they commune together to lay snares priuily and say Who shall see them but the Lord did breake the counsell of the Heathen and brought to nought the deuises of such people Blessed be his holy name for euer 2 Is the cruelty of the plot which appears specially in two respects 1. In the generall extent 2. In the greeuous deuice The extent large plotted for the generall destruction of the King and Kingdome Cum subit illius dirissima mortis image Vltima quae Regi regnoque bonisque fuisset Horribilis quatit essa tremor A dismall day in which they did intend Of King and Kingdome for to make an end These Powder-papists then dreamed to haue had a Romane Regiment that Tuesday at night here like Hamilcars dreame the Generall of the Carthaginiani laying siege to Syracusa an Image appeared to him in his dreame and told Hamilear hee should sup the next night in Syracusa and so he did yet not as a Captaine but Captiue or like Iulius Caesaers dreame who the night before he was slaine in the Senate house dreamed that he sate hard by Iupiters seate So

papall constitution that whosoeuer doe enter into it hee is bound to sweare after certaine yeeres being perfectly Iesuited to returne into England for the defence of the Catholicke Faith and there publikely or priuately to preach the same Now their Faith which they call Catholicke granteth to their Roman Church power to free subiects from all duty of obedience as doth appeare in the foureteene section and seuenth Chapter of their late Councell of Trent from which fountaine flowes Tâ—… So that they will not submit themselues to any Protestant King in any loyall and faithfull 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as did

distinguish the Pseudocatholickes of this Climate from others of his sound and faithfull subiects And how I pray you was this oath impugned by the Popes Briefes by Bellarmine and others accounting it vnlawfull prohibiting all Popish Sectaries to accept it which oath yet specially touched their alleagiance to the King against the Popes primacy pretended in temporall things and but little the supremacy in spirituall things so that they who are thus rooted and vnmoueably grounded in all the mysteries of the Church of Rome beleeuing the Pope the supreme Head of all hauing power to excommunicate Kings to depriue them to absolue subiects from alleagiance to giue authority to kill Kings and accounting such deeds done meritorious are Clancularij proditores Clancular Traytors Schoole-Traytors who though they liue Vespertilionum instar Like the night-birds in obscurity and neuer reduce their Theoricke into Practick yet are they Traytors in Esse though not in Actu But to leaue these and to returne againe to our Powder-men Traytors both in fore and fieri Claneular at first their Chamber was a Mine vnder the Earth but being discouered then they shewed themselues Damonesmeridiani Noone day Diuels and were Sagittae volantes in die Arrowes that flie by day for perceiuing their purpose discouered and treachery preuented and disappointed of their priuate blow and blast which should haue beene acted in secret now they resolue to runne a desperate race and practise a publicke rebellion And so gathering their Catholicke Company and pretending the quarrell of Religion which they thought had had the vertue of a snow ball to encrease their number by tumbling vp and downe and hauing gotten such prouision of Armor Horses and Powder as time would permit they ranged about as open and auowed Rebels The story whereof I omit to rehearse because it is vulgarly knowne and in a Booke at large rehearsed Well the Catholicke cause moued these to this cursed Treason in which impiety behold their policy for if their villany had succceded which God in his mercy preuented they had deuised to haue laid all the blame vpon the Puritans The poore Puritans must haue the shame of Papists impurities and impieties Here in they shewed themselues to be Neroes brats who when he had set fire on the City laied the fault vpon the Christians as Tacitus writes of him or as in old time in the dayes of the ten persecutions of the Primitiue Church if any thing had befallen the world euen by Gods hand as plague or famine c. all reproaches were put vpon the Christians and crying out Christianos ad Leones Cast the Christians to the lions A shamefull and shamelesse shift to translate the infamy of so odious a fact vpon the innocent but it verifies the Prouerbe Hoc calciamentum consuit Hystiam Aristagoras induit Hystaus hath sowen the shooe and Aristagoras puts it on but thankes be to God Inciderunt in foueam quam fecerunt The fact and fault was knowne to be their owne and brought these delinquents to a shamefull fall Another policy they had pretended appointing an hunting match against the time of this treacherous designe thinking with Esau to haue brought dainty Venison to their Father not Isaacke but Antichrist and to haue surprized the person of the Lady Elizabeth now the Princely wife to the County Palatine of Rheine Thus they shewed themselues right Nimrods who was a mighty hunter and in name also Nimrod-like who is by interpretation a Rebell rebellious hunters or rather Fowlers to lay such snares but yet all may say with the Psalmist The Lord hath deliuered vs from the snare of the hunter praised be his goodnesse for euer But to passe ouer their policy in this worke of impiety painted ouer vnder a pretence of restauration of religion Is murder and massacres the seed of Rome from which these seedes-men would fetch Religion will the darnell of death produce the seed of life For the publike good Gods seruants haue wished themselues to be

comparable to fine Gold Our reuerend Prelates and Pastors the salt of the earth and light of the land the chiefe Iudges and choice Gentry of the Kingdom who were as eyes to the blinde and feete to the

not hauing a shepheard will fall into the hands of wolfes who will deuoure their flesh and their fleeces And looke still further and behold these powder-traitors men nourished with Tygers milke who enterprised not onely to procure a temporall politicall and spirituall ouerthrow of Church and Common-wealth but also so farre as in their power they could seeked to procure the eternall death of body and soule vnawares by force of fire to part vnprepared soules and blow vp with a fiery Dimittis bodies and soules before they could haue time to say feelingly Inmanus tuas Domine O Lord into thy hands we commend our soules heerein shewing themselues desirous to be bloudy murtherers to murder the body with death temporall and also to make away the soule with death eternall which second death worse then millions of corporall deaths Continet Myriades mortis Prima mors animam dolentempellit de corpore secunda mors animā nolentem tenet in corpore as Austen The first death driues the pained soule out of the body the second death keepes the vnwilling soule in the body for then men shall seeke death and shall not finde it for in life there is some ease in death an end but in the second death neyther ease nor end Mors sine morte finis sine fine So that to draw all to a conclusion which should haue beene the conclusion yea confusion of vs all I may supply my defects in the description of this immatchable treason with the Poets excuse Non mihi si centum linguae sint oraque centum Ferreavox omnes scelerum cōprendere formas Omnia poenarum peccurrere nomina possem No tongue can tell no pen descry This Map of mischiefe the Powder-Tragedy The Lord of Hosts who neither slumbers nor sleepes who in pitty and prouidence prouides for the safety of his Church and Children beheld our English Israel and Popish Amaleck the members of the Church militant and malignant the one secretly plotting to blow vp the other but the Lord against whom no wisdome nor vnderstanding nor counsell can preuaile became an impenetrable shield suffered not one of his seruants haires to be burnt with fire but besotted these Traytors to communicate their counsels though darkly to others by which meanes they were discouered And we are perswaded and confirmed of the all-sauing protection of our good God towards his deare Seruant and our dread Soueraigne with the rest of the religious assembly congregated for the glory of his name and good of his Church in that Honourable House of Parliament that if the Lord had suffred them to haue made a further progresse to the instant of that disastrous and dismall action that hee would haue disabled the party who with his vnhappy hand should haue kindled that fatall fire as he did the hand of infamous Ieroboam in the very act of stretching it against the Prophet it withered or like the hand of Valens the Emperor when hee tooke his pen to confirme the sentence of Basils banishment strucken of God shooke and shrunke not able to hold the pen So surely the Lord would haue benummed that accursed hand which sought to ouerthrow Christs Church among vs for it is as easie to pull Christ from Heauen as to put his Church out of the Earth Christ cannot be a bodilesse Head nor the Church an headlesse body and though outward meanes of deliuerance to vs may seeme defectiue yet stand comforted and couragious for the gates of hell shall not preuaile against the Church It is a lame and halting confidence which cannot goe to God without the stilts and crutches of externall meanes for the Lord knoweth to deliuer the godly and in the very point and article of time will be a present helpe in trouble God came to Adam with a promise in the time of despaire to Abraham with supply in the time of sacrifice to Isaacke with reliefe in the time of famine and danger to Ioseph with honour in the time of exile to Elias with comfort in the time of persecution to Gideon with helpe in the time of battle to Daniel with safety in the Lyons denne to Ionas with release in the Whales belly to Susanna with life condemned to death to the three Children with a protecting Angell in the fiery Furnace yea to this Kingdome of England with a most mercifull preseruation neere the time of the appointed Powder-destruction to make all our English Israel alwayes in all distresses and dangers say with Moses Feare not stand still behold the deliuerance of the Lord which he shewed vnto you this day Dies Ista Salutis erat candore notabilis ipso The Lord would not haue this Powder-proiect to haue power to burne one haire of his seruants head or any smell of fire come vpon them yet caused some of these vault-pyoners to be wounded and disfigured with powder In quo peccarunt in eodem plectuntur Wherewith they sinned by the same they were also punished So that all these extraordinary mercies of Almighty God summed vp together should haue more then a Magneticall attraction to draw all Christian hearts euer to praise his infinite goodnesse and continually inuite and induce all to a serious consideration and conseruation of this admirable deliuery from this intended miserable calamity agnizing God the sole and supreme cause in preuenting of it and therefore ascribing all the glory to him who hath preserued still his Church in tranquility our King in glory the State in safety the Realme in prosperity Iutuere rupem erige ratem The snares of death and destruction prepared
