Yea some of those Irish Cattel had a Dispensation from this Pope to take the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy provided they promise to Betray their Garrisons and other Trusts So that when you see a Papist swallow those Oaths you may Swear 't is with such a proviso He hath some Trust or other to Betray Fourthly Holland There this Innocent Pope hath set his Foul Foot of the Beast to purpose in sending his Most Christian Son most Unchristianly to Scourge them for their Heresie and to over-run their Countrey with his Rapacious Army and had not God Almighty put an Hook into the Jaw of that Proud Leviathan at Utrech He had laid their Land under an Absolute Desolation To say nothing of His Intrigueing Influences to plunge them and us into a War to Wast and Weaken each other that He might the easier worry us both To say nothing of Hungary and other parts of Germany nor of the Three Northern Crowns in all which he hath throughly tryed the same Trusty Tricks of Divide and Command c.

Oh what a glittering and glorious Scarlet coloured Beast is this thus bedeckt with Radiant Jewels No wonder if they give him this Canting Courtship Thou art the prime of all Bishops the Heir of the Apostles an Abel for primacy sure I am not for Religion a Noah for Government not for Righteousness an Abraham for Patriarkship not for Piety a Melchisedeck for Order an Aaron for Dignity a Moses for Authority a Samuel for Judicature a Peter for Power yea a Christ for Unction but none of them for Holiness though that be his Title No wonder if his pickthanks go yet higher in calling him their Lord God their Creator in whom they must Believe and whom they must Obey upon pain of Damnation no wonder if they say to this their God three times Oh Thou that takest away the Sins of the World have Mercy on us Thou canst make a Sin to be no Sin contra No wonder if Popelings Kiss the great Toe of their Great God in a Country where God hath Toes which Moses who came nearest him could not Discern and much less Kiss Deut. 4.12 15.
