for his offence asked a kinde of forgiuenes of the King and the State for his bloodie intent with his crosses his idle ceremonies made his end vpon the gallowes and the blocke to the great ioy of the beholders that the land vvas ended of so vvicked a villaine Thus haue I ended my discourse vppon the Arraignement and execution of these eight traitors executed vpon thursdaie and friday last past in paules church-yard and the old pallace at westminster Now there is certaine report of the execution done on mundaie being the 27. of Ianuarie in the citie of worcester vpon one Perkises his man for the receiuing of traitors vz. Rob. Winter Stephen Littleton two more executed at VVolnerhāpton for the same God be blessed for it continue the Iustice of law to be executed vpon all such rebellious traitorous wretches as either plot such villanies conceale such treasons or relieue such traitors for since the betraying the Lord of heauen and earth was there euer such a hellish plot practised in the world if the Pope were not a verie Diuell and these Iesuites or rather Iebusites and Satanicall Seminaries verie spirites of wickednesse that whisper in the eares of Euahs to bring a world of Adams to destruction how could nature be so senceles or reason so graceles as to subiect wit so to wil as to run all headlong to confusion is this a rule of religion or rather of a legiō where the Sinagogue of Sathan sat in counsaile for the worlds destruction for the satissactiō of a lowzie humor or bloudy deuotion or hope of honor or to make waie to some mad fury to bring the most florishing kingdome on the earth to the most desolation in the world to kil at one blow or with one blast King Queene Prince and Peere Bishop Iudge and Magistrate to the ruine of the land and vtter shame to the whole vvorld and left naked to the inuasion of anie enemie is this a holy father that begets such vvicked children is this religion vvhere is no touch of charitie or is there anie sparke of Grace in these priestes that so poison the soules breake the neckes of so many people Ignorance in the simple and Idolatrie in the subtil take ceremonies for certainties superstition for religion enuie for zeale and murther for charitie what can that church be but hell where the diuill sings such masses seruus seruorum saies hee that would be Dominus dominorum seruant of seruants that would be maister of maisters is not he a cunning heards-man that can make one painted cow or printed Bull giue him more milke then many a Heard of better kine are not these sweete Notes to bee taken in the nature of the Popish gouernment kill princes sowe seditions maintaine bawdie houses blinde the simple abuse the honest betray the innocent sweare and forsweare so it be for the popes profite the Church will absolue you and if you misse the marke to hit the mischiefe you shoote at you shall bee a hanging Saint till you bee taken downe to the Deuill Oh fine perswasions that infinite sinnes by numbred prayers inward curses by outward crossings an offence against God by a pardon from man should be beleeued to be helped A child cannot conceiue it a wise man cannot disgest it and surely none but either blind women or mad men can beleeue it If a man would but a little looke into their Idolatries hee should see a worlde of such mockeries as would make him both laugh at their fooleries and abhor their villanies Their kissing of babies their kneeling to wodden Ladies their calling to Saintes that cannot heare them their praying by the dozen their taking of penance their pilgrimages to Idols their shauings and their washings their confessions and their crossinges and their diuelish deuises to deceiue the simple of their comfort These with a worlde of such trickes as would make Iacke an Apes a fine Iugler He that coulde see them with that cleare eye that can iudge betwixt light and darkenes woulde if they were his friendes be sorry for them if his enemies laugh at them and howsoeuer or whatsoeuer leaue them say as he may say that Papistrie is meere Jdolatrie the Pope an incarnate Deuill his Church a Synagogue of Satan and his priestes the verie locustes of the earth But let vs leaue them to their loathsome puddles and let vs bee thankefull to Almightie God for the cleare water of life that in his holy worde wee receiue from the fountaine of his gracious mercie let vs a little looke into the difference betwixt the Traiterous Papist that dieth for his villanie and the faithfull Protestant that dyeth for the truth of his conscience in the beliefe of the worde of God The trayterous Papist will pull downe princes and subuert Kingdoms murther and poyson whome they cannot commaund The faithfull protestant praieth for princes and the peace of the people and will endure banishment but hate rebellion The proud papist will shewe in temperancie in passion while the humble protestant will embrace affliction with patience The Protestant cries to GOD for mercie for his sinnes the Papist giues authoritie to sinne when before the offence the pardon is purchased I say was it not a strange speech of Digbie through the blindnesse of his bewitched witte that to bring the kingdome into the popish Idolatrie hee cared not to roote out all his posteritie Oh the misery of these blinded people that forsake the tru God of heauē earth to submit their seruice to the Deuill of the world be Traitours to their gratious Princes to serue a proude vngratious prelate loose their lands goods begger their wiues and children loose their own liues with an open shame and leaue an infamy to their name for euer onely to obey the command of a cunning Foxe that lying in his denne praieth on all the geese that he can light on and in the proude beliefe to be made Saints will hazard their soules to goe to the Deuill But how many millions hath this Deuill inchaunted how many kingdōes hath he ruinated and how many massacres hath he plotted and how many soules hath he sent to damnation God for his mercy cut him off or open the eies of all them Christian princes that they may agree together and pull him down For during his pride Princes that are of his Religion will bee but as Copie-holders to his Countenance Souldiers that fight not vnder his banner shall bee as shake-rags to his Armie Lawyers except they pleade in his right shall haue but curses for their fees Diuines if not of his opinion shal be excommunicate out off his Church Merchantes that bring not him commodities shall keepe no shops in his Sanctuarie nor Beggars that pray not for his Monarchie shall haue any almes in his Basket and therefore I hope that God will so wipe off the skales from the eyes of the blinde that both one and other Souldier and Lawyer Diuine and Laye man rich and poore will so lay their heades their heartes and handes and their purses together that where as hee hath beene long in rising and could not sitte fast when hee was vppe shall take a fall of sodaine and neuer rise againe when hee is downe to which prayer I hope all true Christians will say Amen FINIS
