A93606	A second beacon fired by Scintilla with his humble information and joynt attestation to the truth of his brethrens former declaration & catalogue, that fired the first beacon. Wherein is remembred the former actings of the papists in their secret plots: and now discovering their wicked designes to set up, advance, and cunningly to usher in popery; by introducing pictures to the Holy Bible: and by sending many young gentlewomen beyond the seas to the nunnes. Also, shewing and setting forth the misery of the whole Company of Stationers: and holding out rather a desolation to religion then a reformation; as more at large appears both in our ministers and churches, in these sad times, when blasphemy, negromancy, popery, and all heresies be printed and publiquely sold, in a most horrid manner without controll or punishment.	Sparke, Michael, d. 1653.	1652 (1652)	Wing S4818BA; Thomason E675_29; ESTC R203511	7,478	11

Obsequium Amicos Veritas Odium parit THere I left in my former Scintilla Sect. 1. and here I begin again to fire a Second Beacon The Lord grant it may give warning to our Watchmen the High and Honourable Parliament and Governours of our Commonwealth I write not for profit nor vain glory but for Truths sake which I follow so close at the Heels that I may happily be so looked back upon that I may perceive a frowning Brow an envious Heart or a malignant Eye But that which puts me on at this present is to attest a Truth and to joyne with my Brethren that set the first Beacon on fire and now by firing this Beacon there may be the more warning to find out the Plots and subtle dealing of the Enemy to the Government of our State and Reformation in Religion Had I had any notice of theirs I should have added one sheet of Paper to them for the more light But neither knowing nor hearing nor seeing any thing till it was publick I was silent Now having perused theirs I here begin to light mine Now theirs is out The first they begin with in order I shall do the same in a brief but short Compendium I shall only name and hint of some old Truths and so run up the Beacon and fire it anew that you may so perceive the Truth which this Beacons light discovers the full intentions of Papists and Popish plots to advance their Religion and to extirpate the Protestant Sect. 2. I begin with their first plotters of late years that thought to ruine at once the Protestant Religion and with an high hand then to bring in the Popish at one blow but that the Lord prevented and then I shall go on to shew their wicked intendments to this present These Plo●● were first put on by the Devill and he became a lying Spirit in bidding them go and prosper and putting into their minds these wicked Plots and into those heads that sate with their Holy Father the Pope namely of these their pillars in former time Doctor Fisher Father Parsons Father Porter Father Worington Father Palmer Father Lovet Father Fisher Doctor Bris●ow Doctor Wright Father Wood Father Lurtice Father Marfield Father Hiam Father Sweete Father Ployden Doctor Smith these were their great Plotters as Mr. Ward of Ipswich Mr. Taylor of Clapham describes for the advance of the Roman Catholique Cause and for the Plotters of the Powder Treason were these Sir Everard Digby Robert Catesby Esq Ambrose Rockwood Francis Tressam c. and so on as appears more at large November the 5.
