Gen. May it please your Lordship and you Gent. of the Jury Popery stands here Indicted of Great and Hainous Crimes yet not greater than hath been by him committed it is not unknown to us that he is of the Race and Progeny of Cain and his Murthers are greater than have been perpetrated by any since the Creation of the world that he might the more plausibly Commit his Villanies he hath shaded himself under the serene Veil of Christianity what name so lovely as Jesus yet whose operations so odious as Jesuits he hath also stiled himself with Istud nomen Blasphemiae Universal which he says he derived Successively from Saint Peter tho' it will puzzle his greatest Doctors to prove that Peter was ever at Rome Thus having strengthned himself in Iniquity Usurping over Kings and Princes bringing people and Nations into Thraldom and Slavery thought Nature had given him a perpetual writ of Ease and made every part of the Christian world feel his Tyranny But as the Jews who sold Christ for thirty pieces of Silver came at last themselves to be sold thirty for a penny so shall he know that the Arm of Vengeance hath been long lifted up that it may now fall down the heavier upon him To prove the Indictment we might call many witnesses but we shall call only some principal ones and first Sir Naked Truth who hath been greatly persecuted by him Cl. of Cr.

Who Holy Scriptures Cryer Yes my Lord. L. C. J. Holy Scriptures what can'st thou say against the Prisoner at the Bar Holy Script My Lord Popery now Prisoner at the Bar hath broached many damnable Heresies contrary to the word of God and particularly that it is not a Rule of Faith but as a Nose of wax to be turned which way the Church pleases whereas the word of God saith that all Scripture is given by Divine inspiration yet he wickedly prefers his own Carnal Traditions before it as also his Principles are directly against the Ten Commandments Against the first in making a God of the Bread in the Sacrament Against the Second in bowing down thereunto Acainst the Third by profane Swearing by God and the Saints Against the Fourth in preferring his Saints days which are of his own Institution before the Sabbath which is of Divine Against the Fifth in declaring that Children of his Religion owe not Obedience to their Parents which are not of the same Against the Sixth in maintaining the lawfulness of Robbing Plundering and endeavouring to Ruin by Firing Houses or otherwise all those that are not of his Opinion Against the Seventh in setting up and allowing of common Stows c. Against the Eighth in bloody and inhuman

Muthering and Massacring of Protestants under the Names of Heriticks and endeavouring to maintain the lawfulness thereof Against the Ninth in making Leagues with Princes for his own advantage and then breaking them saying Oaths may not be kept with Hereticsts Against the Tenth in a greedy coveting of Gold he pretending to give out Pardons to Commit all manner of villanies whatever Besides my Lord there is scarce one Commandment of the first Table free from his innovations nevertheless he is not ashamed to say that a man of his Religion may keep all the Commandments contrary to the word of God which saith that there is not a just man that liveth and sinneth not and also that if we say we have no sin we deceive our Selves c. L. C. J. Sir Naked Truth what sayest thou against the Prisoner at the Bar Sir N. T. My Lord in the year 110 Popery seeming as an Universal Deluge to over-spread the whole Christian World I with Sir Constant Patience lived privately at Lyons in France enjoying the glorious Gospel with many others of our honest Friends and Neighbours but Popery the Prisoner at the Bar there found us Massacred and Tortured many of us for confessing the cause of Christ put us to most Exquisite Torments and exercised Savage Cruelties upon us from thence flying to Germany passing through Flanders we saw Popery preparing a fire to burn several of our Adherents which clave to Christ on of our Friends there suffering I remember before he went into the Fire took two Stones in his hands saying when I shall eat these two Stones our Religion shall cease not before When we were come to Germany we found no rest there for Popery pursued us thither and he going through Bohemiah murthered many of the Peers of that Realm In Germany he commanded all to be killed that were suspected saying God knows who are his From thence we fled into Spain where we were taken by Popery's bloody Inquisition in this manner a Messenger came to us and told us that the Lord Inquisitors had something to say to us and therefore we must wait upon them we being come they enquired our names and sent us to Prison we having entered the first Gate the Jaylor asked us whether we had a Knife about us and under pretence to search for one took from us all our Jewels and Mony thereby left us nothing to help our selves then were we cast into a stinking Dungeon where we continued Six Months then being brought forth Popery Prisoner at the Bar endeavoured by all means to extort from us a Confession which we not doing he said we should be racked being brought to the Rack Popery sitting on a Scaffold by the Rack in came our Tormentor and we being stripp'd had our hands bound with Cords then they tyed us to the Pully and fastening Weights to our Heels they hoisted us up by degrees thus hanging in great Torture they bad us accuse all we knew of our Religion which we denying they racked all our Bones out of Joynt and then sent us to Prison again and at last dismissed us From thence we fled into England but here was the like and so we fled again into France where we lived quietly for some time but at last Popery pursued us and disguised with a Vizard of Friendship invited us with most of our Brethren to a Marriage but being come he murthered in one Night above 20000. From thence we fled to Ireland but Popery pursuing us thither committed the most barbarous and execrable Murthers Villanies sparing neither Man Woman or Child ripping up Women with Child ravishing chast Matrons drowning putting to the Sword c. many thousands of innocent Protestants from thence we again fled into England where we were soon pursued and though here he set not upon us so openly as before yet his will was to do us the most hurt In the year 1666 he burned down the famous City of London and hath not ceased to endeavour to perpetuate his bloody Villanies only by many speçial Providences of God he hath been hindered for we certainly hear he would here quite extirpate us to the utmost of his power Nay I heard credibly that he was resolved not to leave one drop of Protestant Blood and like his other Devilish Policy could be glad to cast these Treasonable Conspiracies on the innocent Protestants My Lord he is so dangerous and so wickedly subtle that we live in dayly hazard of our Lives and when he may destroy us all God only knows if timely course be not taken L.J.J. Sir Constant Patience what can you say against the Prisoner at the Bar Sir Con. Pat. My Lord it would be too tedious for me to rehearse all that Sir N. Truth hath spoken we were Companions together in all he hath declared and I aver the truth of what he hath spoken L.C.J. Are there any more Witnesses Cl. of Cr. Yes my Lord Light of Nature L.C.J. Let him come up VVhat canst thou say against the Prisoner at the Bar Li. of Na. My Lord Popery did really combine with the Devil to promote his Designs and hath been guilty of great Conjurations I have seen him in the VVoods in the shape of a Bore he hath also been a cruel Murtherer for I saw a Pond of his cleansing and thence ta●e● out 60 Childrens Skulls and it is computed that in about 50 years time he hath massacred 15 millions of Protestants L.C.J. VVhat sayst thou Popery Thou art now admitted to speak for thy self Pop. My Lord the first witness that is suborned against me is pretended Holy Scriptures which if I go to disprove you will say that I speak against Gods VVord Had I thought I should have had a Just Tryal I would have prepared my witnesses and made my defence But how can I expect equity from those in my adversity which were always barking at me in my prosperity L.C.J. You shall not be suffered to icandalize the Kings Court of Judicature Then my Lord proceeded and spoke as follows You Gent. of the Jury you hear the Prisoner is indicted for contriving Heresie con●rary to the VVord of God and to gain Proselytes thereunto he hath been guilty of Treasons Murthers and Blasphemies the first part of the Indictment hath been largely confirm'd by a Peer of this Realm whose Name is Holy Scriptures And the second by two worthy Knights Also we have had a fourth witness which as the other hath fairly laid open his Villanies and he for his defence hath only cast foul Aspersions upon the Justice of the Court his sins are great and cry aloud for vengeance and if Justice be not executed against him we may fear lest we be partakers with him of his plagues The Evidence is so clear I think you need not withdraw Cl. of Cr. Gentlemen are you agreed upon your Verdict Omnes Yes Cl. of Cr. VVho shall speak for you Omnes The Foreman Cl. of Cr. Popery hold up thy hand Gentlemen of the Jury look upon the Prisoner at the Bar how say ye is he Guilty of the Treasons Murthers c. whereof he stands Indicted or not Guilty Forem Guilty Cl. of Cr. Of all Forem Yea of all Cl. of Cr. VVhat Goods or Chattels Jury He is made Rich by the Kings of the Earth Cl. of Cr. Cryer make Proclamation Cryer O yes My Lord the King 's Chief Justice strictly charges and commands all manner of Persons to keep silence whilst Sentence is pronouncing against the Prisoner at the Bar. L.C.J. Popery thou hast delighted thy self to make Bonefires of the Saints and this thy Devilish Nature if thou mightest live here for ever thou wouldst still retain and still act thy abominable Villanies thou hardenest thy heart yea and now wouldst if it lay in thy power commit as bad on me and every one of us as thou hast done heretofore against our dear Friends Therefore the Sentence of the Court is Thou shalt go back to the place from whence thou camest and from thence shalt be slain and cast into the Pit of Topher there to be tormented day and night where the smoak of thy Torment shall ascend up for ever and ever and all thy riches and pomp shall with thee be burnt with fire and as thou hast filled to Gods Saints they shall fill unto thee double Then a great shout and acclamation of Joy made the Trumpet sounding Babylon is fallen Babylon is fallen the Court arose LICENSED January 15. 1688 / 9.
