is made a Praise in the Earth and who are in truth as good as God hath made them great and modestly and justly as far excel all others in Virtue and true Piety as they are above them in Sphere or Station Now his Illustrious Highness the Prince of Orange knowing that the Enemies of the Lord had broken down the Walls of Jerusalem and raz'd them even to the ground in France because the publick and solemn Worship of God in Spirit and in Truth is not to be found in any part of that Kingdom now And seeing that those Engines of Satan were at work in the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland Kingdoms unto which this great Prince had such a Right and Title not only by Affinity or Marriage of her Royal Highness his most entirely beloved Consort but also by Consanguinity or Birth his Royal Mother deceased being Daughter to K. Charles I. of blessed Memory for such was the Arrogance and Haughtiness of all Papists now in England Scotland and Ireland but especially of the Jesuits and Priests that they consulted how to destroy the Protestants and extirpate the Lord's Inheritance that they should be no more a People here and that their Name should be rooted out Nay so far had they proceeded in this Diabolical Design that even the Popish Kings of the Earth begun now to set themselves and the Rulers took counsel together against the Lord and against his Anointed and the purchase of his Bloud therefore now they began to say of our Sion here Down with it down with it raze it to the ground and suffer not so much as one Heretical Branch to remain But he that sitteth in the Heavens did laugh the Lord had them in derision for he knew well their Fall was at hand and that the Righteous should have cause to rejoyce Nay as if 't were not enough for these Priests and Jesuits to insult over mens Bodies they pretend Authority over mens Souls and frequently would rush into what House they listed in a very impudent manner and molest the dying person with their destructive and pernicious Discourses torment poor Souls departing this life and where they could they forc'd the Breaden or Wafer-God to be received And which was no small aggravation to our misery or addition to our sorrow no part of our Nation was now free from these Ravening Wolves which went about in Sheeps cloathing These Serpents had now crept into every little hole or creek about the Land. And all this came to pass by the great encouragement and protection of the late K. James and Q. Mary persons every man can tell that made it their principal business to abet and protect the Priests and Jesuits enlarge the Kingdom of Antichrist and promote the Interest of Babylon the great Harlot and Mother of all Abomination and Wickedness therefore without all controversie their minds were blinded by the God of this World because of their unbelief lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ who is the Image of God should shine unto them Hence they were wholly given over to a reprobate mind to believe Lyes and Fables and Traditions of men before the pure Word of God and more sure Word of Prophesie which is Truth as Christ himself testifies Therefore they mightily encouraged the Evil and discouraged the Good abetted and protected them who said the Bible was false as Father Peters his Brother publickly preacht against our Bible averring there was several hundred Faults and Contradictions in it c. but suspended and disanimated our Reverend Pious and Learned Clergy who did not walk in Craftiness nor handle the Word of God deceitfully but by manifestation of the Truth commended themselves to every man's Conscience in the sight of God for the Doctrine taught and maintain'd in our Church is sound and uncorrupt and grounded purely on the sacred Scriptures Take but a glimpse of the irregular Zeal of the late K. James to promote the Mother-Church when he said to Father Peters in his Chamber who soon communicated it unto those at Antwerp Keulen and Liege of his own Society and commended his great and fervent Zeal I had much rather reign but one year to an end and then die a Martyr with the Conversion of England Scotland and Ireland to the Roman Faith than reign thirty years prosperously and leave them at my death in Heresie as I found them when I came to the Crown And I presume we may guess readily what would have been our Lot and was intended for us had not the Lord God Omnipotent shew'd himself Elehim in our behalf and remembred us when we were in trouble by that saying of the late Q. Mary unto the Pope's Nuncio I hope to dine all the Hereticks in the Kingdom by such a day naming the day for one Half-crown for even now they know not what to do and are at their Wits end God is always stronger than Men and greater is the Spirit that is in the Children of God than the Spirit that is in the World for when they concluded the Day was their own then were they on the top of the Precipice and all their evil Devices soon confounded Was it then any wonder at all to have our ancient English Laws sacrificed our Rights Liberties and Priviledges destroyed our ancient Charters wrested from us by violence of a Quo Warranto our Colledgians at Oxford turn'd out by a superstitious Mandamus and a Crew of Impostures placed therein The Law of God in effect made void and Popish Legends set up in the place when the late K. James and Q. Mary were fed with corrupt and unsound Food nay when they abetted and protected those who taught them Doctrines of Devils for such is the Doctrine taught and maintain'd in the Church of Rome in these days if we may credit St. Paul's words instead of the sincere Milk of the Word of God and wholsome Food of the Holy Scriptures What could our Nation expect from the hands of Bloud-thirsty Papists and especially Irish had they not been prevented by the goodness of God and the unparallel'd Resolution of the Prince of Orange but Fire and Faggot Wrack and Gibbet when many of them judg'd that to be the only way for to merit the Kingdom of Heaven by breaking Faith with Hereticks and destroying them in such a manner How many pious Lords and virtuous good men have lost their lives by the Papists Subtilty and Juggles thô pretensively by Law when unrighteous Popish Judges tryed and condemned them who had no fear of God before their eyes and whom the righteous Judge will accuse no doubt at the day of Judgment But there is one step higher to ascend and then we have done What was likely to befal us who destroyed Idols and burnt the Groves and sometime since drove out the Priests of Baal when one of that Communion did reign over us and one that thought himself cloathed with a Despotick and Arbitrary Power exercising the same
