A TRVE AND PLAINE GENEALOGY OR PEDIGREE OF ANTICHRIST WHEREIN IS CLEERLY DISCOVERED THAT HEE IS LINEALLY DESCENDED FROM THE DIVELL WHo so thou art that dost desire to know The stock whereof proud Antichrist did grow Whom IESVS CHRIST did long before fore-tell Should in the Church against the Church rebell Making her mourne with pittifull complaints And being drunken with blood of her Saints Should tyrannizing ouer her remayne Vntill his pride be deeply dide in graine And then both he and 's Kingdome downe should fall Without redresse or any helpe at all Whose comming should not be with claps of Thunders But signes and miracles and lying wonders My rusticke Muse declares his very name His pedigree and of what house he came There was a braue heroicke Gentleman As ancient as since the world began Whose industry and policy was such That all the world besides had not so much His Engines Stratagems and feats of Warre Made his dominions to extend as farre As Alexanders that 's sirnam'd the Great Such was his prowesse by the Martiall feate Conquering his trade Apollyon his name Of that grand worthy this great worthy came One deadly Darkenesse was his eldest sonne And thus in truth this royall race begun And then that Darknesse did beget by chance A son an heire and cald him Ignorance Of his true byrth ther 's no man need enquire You see the sonne is fully like the Sire This Ignorance liued a while and then He begot Error and his bretheren Error begot Freewill and Selfe-conceit Freewill got Merit that deceiuing bait Merit begot Forgetfullnesse of Grace And then his sonne Trangression tooke his place And that Transgression did beget Distrust Who deeming God lesse mercifull then Iust Maugre his justice to maintaine his action Begot a sonne and call'd him Satisfaction This Satisfaction e're his father dide Being excessiuely possest with pride Reiected quite Christs bloody sacrifice Which once for all he offered in such wise That he for all his peoples sinnes thereby Did Gods pure justice fully satisfie The cause why Satisfaction did this thing Was that thereby he might to credit bring His onely sonne the sacrifice o' th Masse As proud a Knaue as e're his father was For if to him come any one or other Desiring helpe for some deceased brother Vpon condition of a golden fee Hee 'l contradict the mighty Gods decree And disanull his judgements past also And bring to weale whom God hath plac'd in woe For if you 'll trust him this man doth excell Hee 'l hunt the place where all the Furies dwell And search the Lymboes nay hee 'l not be sory To search throughout the furious Purgatory And euery nooke and secret corner there Bee 't in the Fier Water Earth or Aire For though that he hath fetched thousands thence And did withall their deadly sinnes dispence Has quite forgot his wits are so decay'd Whereof wherein and when that place was made But hauing found him then he will surpasse And bring the man from where he neuer was Vnto a place of myrth and melody Where if he were not he can neuer be The Priests annoynting his successor was And Superstition thereon came to passe This Superstition was a royall thing For he begot Hypocrisie the King Hypocrisie got Gaine by offering And of that Gaine did Purgatory spring Then Purgatory passing reasons bounder Was certainely Anniuersaries founder He by a stranger without Matrimony Did then beget the Churches Patrimony Then Mammon of Iniquity his sonne Begot a Child as his Father had done A worthy sparke Abundance was his name And of Abundance Ease a gallant came Ease begot Cruelty and he Dominion Dominion Pompe and Pompe Ambition And of this man old Simony did grow A bribing Knaue how cleere soeuer he show This man of issue was not without hope For why he liu'd to see his sonne the Pope Who in this world doth beare a great renowne And on his head doth weare a triple Crowne Whose charity if it were to his power He could clense Purgatory in an hower And send the soules that in that place do dwell Straight vp to Heaven from that smoky Cell He thinkes perhaps his power hereon is grounded The former place his predecessors founded And for the latter none can him withstand He beares the Keyes of heauen in his hand But here 's a griefe that to a mischiefe grew Because his Holinesse let in so few Or else iust none which is a grieuous thing His Keyes haue lost theyr vse of opening And as the Keyes o th' Pharisees his brothers Shut heauens gate against themselues and others So he by his doth now nought else but shut That gate gainst all that in him credit put And yet he vaunts himselfe to be Christs Vicar I wonder much his wit should be no quicker For Vicars haue not that were too too bad A greater power then e're theyr Parsons had Now Christ his Parson openly did show His Kingdome was not of this world below But Pope his Vicar commands all estates Kings Emperors and greatest Potentates And turnes his power to furious tyranny Against that Christ and all his company And by his rage they now abide affliction He 's Antichrist without all contradiction Thus TRVETH A GEM hath here disco●ered 〈◊〉 Which many a man hath long time wondered at If thou aright these
