But some may say these Commodities of the Pope as set down in the Catalogue under such Glittering Titles Rev. 18.12 13. Gold Silver c. look nothing like to Trash and Trumpery To this I answer the Book of the Revelation is so Abstruse and Mysterious that it requires another Revelation to unfold its Mystery I confess I have consulted some Learned Interpreters upon the place But that which is Instar Omnium and gives a None-Such Interpretation is the chief Auditor of the Apostolick Chamber in his Infallible Account Book Never did the profoundest Interpreter no not the Accutest of their own Popish Postillers make a plainer Explanation of any Dark Scripture than this Popes Auditor General hath made of Rev. 18.12.13 All the Voluminous Quirks of the most Mercurial Jesuits Cajetan Mendoza Salmeron c. are comparatively but Insiped Stuff and dull Descants to that one Auditors Record of the Romish Merchandise in this Popes Apostolical Chamber Yea the Chaldee Paraphrase or Onkeles so much cry'd up in the World is but a Jejune Piece to it This is the Master Piece of all wherein what be the Romish Pearls and precious Stones c. are made so Legible and Intelligible that every common Capacity may both Apprehend and Comprehend the right Notion of them In that known Court-Rolls and Rate-Book is Registred and made publick the common and current Price of a many choice and curious Commodities as Pardons Indulgences Licenses Absolutions c. whatever you have a mind to buy Indeed the Crys of Vendible Wares in the Streets of London will you buy this c. and will you buy that

Vouchsafement and Low Condescention in his Unholiness indeed is only to Kiss the Stinking Toe of his Gowty Gulls but when this Cardinal came to pay his Visits and do his Homage unto his Mighty God Pope Clement the Tenth his immediate Predecessor he had the Honour without any prostrating posture save only a slight Congee to Kiss his Holinesses Hands with a Mental Reservation too Right Romanist like wishing him well in his Grave that he might upon such an Irresistible Resignation yeild up his Pontifical Chair to him Nay the Royal Complement of Kissing the Popes Hand only was not all the Honour he had from him but he is allowed to Kiss the Popes Mouth too Lorinus the Jesuit in Act. 6. doth acknowledg this Ceremony as to matter of Fact to be the Cardinals Prerogative above Kings and Emperours If the Kissing of the Bishop by the Priest at his Ordination do declare a Parity as above So this likewise must be an Indication that a Cardinal is a Popes Fellow yet Advanced above Kings and Emperours contemptible Titles and Offices to his by this mutual Embracement The Hebrew Rabbins do Read these words Gnal Pi Jehovah Deut. 34.5 which we Translate According to the Word of the Lord in this Sense That Moses Died at the Mouth of Jehovah which indeed the Hebrew Words do Genuinely and Gramatically signifie as if God had taken away Moses his Soul out of his Body with a Kiss in a most friendly manner could this Lord God the Pope Clement the Tenth have done so to Cardinal Odeschalcho when he Kiss'd him it had been no better than Osculum Iscarioticum rather a Treacherous than an Amicable Kiss in spoiling his Market of designing to become his Successor upon the Papal Throne and then had the World wanted him for Pope Innocent the Eleventh though both the Place and the Title might have been supplied by some other Person Had this happen'd so That Pope might have cry'd Quits for his wishing in his Mental Reservation afore mentioned the Pontifical Chair before the Time what loss this might have been to the Roman Church I know not but this I know upon more Infallible proofs than his own Infallibility that had he Died at the Mouth of his Lord God the Pope when that Complemental Kiss pass'd betwixt him and his Predecessor he had undoubtedly pass'd off the Stage with less Guilt the Horrid Popish Plot the Murder of Sir Edmondbury Godfrey and a Thousand more Diabolical Intriegues since that will lay with weight upon some Bodies Conscience sooner or later Veniet Veniet qui malè Judicata Rejudicabit Dies There is a Day coming which shall Judg Righteously all Matters over again though at present they be Hush'd up in Judgment and this may be done even in this World I add to all the former the Sixth Priviledg For so many must be the Number that it may the better Symbolize and carry a Correspondency with the Number of the Beasts Name which consists of Three Sixes 666. and therefore several Popes bore the Number of Sixtus and had I been of the Conclave an Honour I am no way Ambitious of I would have advised the Cabal that this Pope Elect should have taken upon him no other Name save that former Name of Sixtus and I would have press'd this Cogent Argument That seeing there had been before Sixtus the First the Second the Third the Fourth and the Fifth now One that will be Stiled Sixtus the Sixth not only makes the Odd Number Even but also the very Name will carry along with it a most Grateful Sound and Symphony This only would have been the mischief thereof that it might have Bordered a little too near the Number of the Name of the Apocalyptick Beast for this Name would have consisted of Two Sixes Sixtus the Sixth but that Name consists of Three notwithstanding this little difference in an Unit it might have Sounded some Alarm to the World This so much necessary Sixth Priviledg which this Cardinal Odeschalcho had was That his Cardinalship did Constitute him an Ecclesiastick Prince whereby he became a fit Mate and Side-Fellow standing upon equal and even Ground with the most Potent Secular Prince in Europe and therefore to Comport with this Princely Greatness the Canon Law allows him a proportionable Grandeur Sumptuous Furniture and all manner of Pompous Splendor for Supporting the Honour of that Dignity for to be one of the College of Cardinals is the Penultimate Promotion in the Roman Church it being the very Highest and Uppermost Step from which one or other of these Crafty Climbers Lands at last into Peters Chair And seeing Wealth is an Indispensible Perquisite as it is commonly call'd the Sinews of War so 't is no less the Nurse to Honour yea oft times more than Vertue upon this account Their Canon Law allows them most Rich Revenues most Rapacious Offices and Employs wherein as if they had got the Philosophers Stone they turn all they touch into Gold and Guineys The Italian Author of the Just weight of the Scarlet Gown gives a Candid and Ingenuous Account keeping the Scales even of those Crafty Intrigues and many Subtle Tricks that those Arch-Politicians do put in Practice to Enrich themselves to fill their Coffers by Sale of Offices that are Vacant by Pensions from the Court of Foreign Princes both France Spain and Germany who all strive not only to Counterballance one another but also by a pretty Greaso-Fisto with Yellow Ointment to Tilt the Ballance and so sometimes Advance their own Faction uppermost through the prevailing Interest of those their closely obliged Creatures the Cardinals who have such a mighty Influence upon all Debates and Resolves in that Pragmatick and Superintendent Court which Lords it and Laws it or at least would willingly do so not only over Gods Herritage the Church but also over the whole Habitable World The Scarlet Gown Author in his Epist Dedic speaks of the several Applications that are made to this Consistory of Cardinals from all Popish Princes and States especially from the Two Mighty Kings of France and Spain by their Ambassadors who ever lay Ledger at that Court and who always Address themselves to the most Politick and Powerful of these Cardinals striving to Outvie each other in their proffer of Fat Penssons to them giving them the best Spiritual Dignities and Promotions their Two Kingdoms can afford them which in either of them are plentiful enough provided always they will be engaged thereby to Espouse as much as ever they may the Interests of their Benefactors Crown to which they are thus obliged Herein these Court-Pensioners do Try the Trick of a Treacherous Judas who with his Quid Dabitis What will ye give me and I will betray my Innocent Master c. rather than play the part of Faithful Peter whose Successors though unlike him save only in Denying his Lord they would be reputed in Defending his Innocent Master from those that Assaulted him for notwithstanding never

do nothing without Ready Money St. Peter paid his Tribute to Temporal Princes even at his Lord Christs Command both for himself and for his Master Matth. 17.24 to the last But this Pope being Antichrist Scorns any such Disgraceful Motion No 't is below his Unholy Highness to pay One Penny he Received not Peters Patrimony upon any such Ignoble Terms The Law of the Land saith That a Mans Heir is Obliged to pay the Debts and to perform the Duties of the Inheritance otherwise the Heir is Disinherited and the Inheritance Divided among the Creditors But the Popes Canon-Law saith Peters Keys of Authority with all the Profits and Emoluments belong to the Pope who holds them fast in his Hand but as to his Key of Doctrine wherein He Taught Universal Subjection to Secular Governours is a Duty no way Incumbent upon Him these are great Incumbrances to Popes and would be unsupportable Burdens to our Sacred Inheritance Yet in this the Pope likes well enough to Imitate his Predecessor Peter in He dearly loves to Catch with his Angling Rod such Fishes in his Sea or See as have a peice of Silver in their Mouths Matth. 17.27 and it will do no Harm if now and then a peice of Gold be found there also for then will he be furnish'd with Materials not only for a Silver Cupboard of Plate but likewise for making his Golden Doors and his Golden Mallets The Fifth Ceremony should have been When the Golden Door was opened He should have proceeded to the Porphiry Chair the Chair of Exploration where the Youngest Cardinal-Deacon should have Examined Things and Things But this Customary Ceremony is now a Days Antiquated as Superfluous and Unnecessary since commonly those Popes that have been lately Elected had given sufficient proof by their Bastards of their Virility and that they were known beforehand to be of the Right Masculin Gender and indeed I think it need not be much Doubted but rather than fail rather than this Pope should have this trouble given him Don Olympia her self might have come in with her Testimony and have assured them Viva Voce they might undoubtedly spare the Labor of Exploration for she hath had some Experimental Knowledg which is the Best of his Manhood and Gallantry And now when I think of it I cannot but Imagine this Groping Chair a very ill advised Injunction however upon this Account That whereas the Romanists do usually Stile their Head The Lord God their Pope now if as they say He be indeed a God they do but Debase him if not Ungod him in Trying whether be be a Man Methinks the Words of Christ with but a little Variation might serve the pretended Vicar of Christ as the Lord did Evidence the Truth of his Resurrection by saving If I be a Spirit I should not have Flesh and Bones Luke 24.39 So this Vicar might give a Repulse to his Gropers by saying If I be a God I should not have Manly Members There is only this Difference Christ was willing to be Handled but his Vicar is unwilling unless by Olympia therefore this Rude Ceremony was Omitted But the Sixth Ceremony and so many there must be to comport still with the number of the name of the Beast 666. is a Ceremony of Ceremonies So it supplies the late omission of the fifth by way of Redundancy for this introduceth all the Splendour and Grandeur of his prime Procession Consecration Coronation c. 1 His first Procession after his Election was thus pompously managed this great Man or rather this great God was mounted upon Mens shoulders in the most splended Equipage imaginable such as Solomon in all his Glory was never Arayed with for you must suppose this Pope to be the goodly Lilly or rather the glorious and gawdy Tulip that our Lord speaks of Matt. 6.28 29. However such as neither Christ himself who was greater than Solomon Matt. 12.42 nor much less his Apostle Peter whose Successour this Pope pretends to be ever took upon them the like prodigal and pompious Grandeur This Pope was now Arayed in Scarlet Robes Furr'd with Ermines quite through and Adorned with the Richest Gold and Silver Laces there was placed upon his Head a most glittering and glorious Tripple Crown of Gold and a most Rich Collor of Gold all curiously Enameld with the choicest Jewels and chiefest precious Stones there were put into his Hands two Golden Keys pretended to be the same that Christ gave to Peter and that Peter at his Death bequeathed to the Popes successively which are for opening and shatting the Gates of Heaven a place where Himself is never like to come for whom he pleaseth and over his Head was carried a most stately Canopy with lofty flying and most gawdy Streamers and He Himself under it most Trim with his Artificial Locks finely curl'd and powder'd with a Vast Tower or Fruz upon his Forehead in the very Dress of the Mystical Whore and in all this Antick Dress and Pedantick Pageantry this Pope was presented to the people who together with his Page made thereupon loud Acclamations Vive le Papa Vive le Papa all along as He made his Progress to Peters Chair mark here while this Apocalyptick Beast was thus mounted upon Mens shoulders He was then carried like a Conquerour who had now made a compleat Conquest over the whole Conclave of his Fellow-Cardinals and now had stoutly Stormed in despight of all fraud and force yea of Fate it self the pontifical Chair and in this posture He was not onely like King Saul who was higher by the Head and shoulders than all the People but also as a mighty Nimrod who was to Trample them all under Foot His Feet standing as high as their Heads but the most significant Ceremony in his passage from the Golden Hatch or Wicket to his Chair of State was this a lump of Flax was carried before Him Burning whereat these words were proclaimed Sic Transit Gloria Mundi 'T is the Prayer of prudent and pious Protestants that an happy Blast may descend from Heaven to blow out for ever all this Antichristian Glory Even so Amen Amen Thus was he brought to his Chair of State which was likewise covered with Scarlet all richly Embroidered Fringed round about with a Gold and Silver Silk Fringe and gloriously bedeckt with Golden Balls and Crosses and which was placed upon as Lofty and as Costly a Throne as was that of Solomons 1 Kings 10.18 Thither was he brougt upon Mens shoulders and when gently taken down for fear of hurting the good old Man there was He seated there was He consecrated and there was He crowned c. when all this solemnity is accomplished then His Herald dressed up in a Garb comporting with the Pomp proclaims by sound of Trumpet His great Lord and Master to be now the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and as if that were not sufficient He had his Parasites prepared to cry loud God Bless our Lord God
