Places where Briefs were granted and large Contributions given for the Support of such poor Refugees as took shelter and by many Difficulties escaped the Vnchristian Cruelties of the Most Christian King Nor will it be improper for the better informing the Protestant Reader to give a brief Account of what the Manner and Form of the Abjurations and Subscriptions those of the Reformed Religion were to make for the Pleasure of Lewis XIV in which Popery is briefly anatomized viz. IN the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost Amen I Believe and Confess with a firm Faith all and every thing and things contain'd in the Creed which is used by the Holy Church of Rome viz. I Receive and Embrace most Sincerely the Apostolical and Ecclesiastical Traditions and other Observances of the said Church In like manner I Receive the Scriptures but in the same sense as Mother-Church hath and doth now understand and expound the same for whom and to whom it only doth belong to Judge of Interpretation of the sacred Scriptures and I will never take them or understand them otherwise than according to the Unanimous Consent of the Fathers I profess that there be truly and properly Seven Sacraments of the New Law Instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ and necessary for the Salvation of Mankind although not Equally needful for every one viz. Baptism Confirmation the Eucharist Penance Extream Vnction Orders and Marriage and that they do confer Grace and that Baptism and Orders may not be reiterated without Sacrilege I receive and Admit also the Ceremonies Approved by the Catholick Church in the Solemn Administration of the forementioned Sacraments I Receive and Embrace all and every thing and things which have been determined concerning Original Sin and Justification by the Holy Council of Trent I likewise profess that in the Mass there is offered up to God a true proper and propitiatory Sacrafice for the Living and Dead and that in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist there is truly realy and Substantially the Body and Blood together with the Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ and that in it there is made a Change of the whole Substance of Bread into his Body and of the whole Substance of the Wine into his Blood Which Change the Catholick Church calls Transubstantiation I confess also that under one only of these two Elements whole Christ and the true Sacrament is Received I constantly believe and Affirm that there is a Purgatory and the Souls there detained are relieved by the suffrages of the faithful In like manner I believe that the Saints Reigning in Glory with Jesus Christ are to be worshipped and Invocated by us and that they offer up Prayers to God for us and that their Relicks ought to be honoured Moreover I do most stedfastly Avow that the Images of Jesus Christ of the blessed Virgin the Mother of God and of other Saints ought to be kept and ●●ained and that due Honour and Veneration must be yeilded unto them I also do affirm that the Power of Indulgences was left to the Church by Christ Jesus and that the use thereof is very beneficial to Christians I do acknowledge the Holy Catholick Apostolick and Roman Church to be the Mother and Mistress of all other Churches and I profess and swear true Obedience to the Pope of Rome Successor of the blessed St. Peter Prince of the Apostles and Vicar of Jesus Christ In like manner I own and profess without doubting all other things left defined and declared by the Holy Canons and General Councils especially by the most Holy Council of Trent and withal I do condemn reject and hold accursed all things that are contrary thereto and all those Heresies that have been condemned Rejected and Accursed by the Church This is the Goodly stuff to be Imposed on the Consciences of the Protestants which even an Ignorant Indian almost by the Light of Nature might detect And for refusin this they were forced to undergoe all the Torments that witty Horrour could Invent. And to this those that Recanted were obliged to swear in the following Words I Promise Vow and Swear and most constantly profess by God's Assistence to keep entirely and inviolably till death this self-same Catholick and Apostolick Faith out of which no Person can be saved And this I do most truly and willingly profess and that I will to the utmost of my power endeavour that it may be maintained and upheld as far as any ways belongs to my charge So help me God and the Holy Virgin And now to conclude this part of the Glorious Actions of Lewis XIV who would be taken for the very Champion of Mother-Church we shall give you a Copy of the Certificate that the Recanting party is to leave with the Preist when he makes his Abjuration I A. B. of the Parish of C. do certifie to all whom it may concern that having acknowledged the Falsness of the Protestant or pretended Reformed Religion and the Truth of the Catholick Religion of my own free Will without any Compulsion have accordingly made profession of the said Catholick Roman Religion in the Church of D. in the Hands of W. G. In testimony of the Truth whereof I have signed this Act in the presence of the Witnesses whose names are under-written This _____ day of the Month of _____ in the Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord the King _____ and of our Redemption _____ c. By this the Reader may see how Innocent Lewis XIV would appear when the Person is compelled to say he makes his Abjuration without any manner of Force and Compulsion voluntarily and willingly when indeed all People even the Preist that takes it knows it to be a palpable Lye Indeed Pope Innocent XI and the Pope we must conclude to be no Friend to the Protestant Religion which is diametrically opposed to his Interest when Lewis XIV by his Ambassador at Rome bore himself so much upon the Meritorious Service he had done the Church in converting such a number of Hereticks as he styled them told the Ambassador That if his Master had nothing else to boast of it would be little to his Glory for his manner of Converting Hereticks was neither pleasing to God nor Man But to trace this ambitious Prince a little farther let us see how little he regards Religion when his Interest or Wilfulness calls him on to Violent and Arbitrary Motions For even the Pope himself fared little better in his Hands as far as lay in his power to attempt against him though he would be styled the Eldest and most obedient Son of the Church Whereby it will appear that his Hand is against all without distinction Whilst Lewis the Great was so earnestly persecuting his Protestant Subjects Pope Innocent XI of a Pope reckoned to be the best that has been for some hundreds of Years finding an Increase of Murthers Outrages and Villanies in the City of Rome and that those
