THE Pope's Comment UPON THE TEN Commandments The PREFACE THere 's one LAWGIVER able to destroy But save Believers in Eternal JOY The Words which CHRIST hath spoken shall us judge And from Gods Laws his JUDGMENTS will not budge Popes make LAWGIVERS new in every Age Who multiply new LAWS upon the Stage But this Distinction shews they disagree They all can kill yet none can save but HE. God's Law is perfect Mens Laws are not so God's Laws are just whether to Friend or Foe God's Law once made for ever doth endure Mens Laws repeal'd new made and never sure Commandment I. GOd's Laws allow no GODS but Onely-One Popes make more Gods than Stars or Days are known Yea Sun and Moon and Stars adored be Is there a DAY from Adorat'on free Popes ALMANACKS are cloyed with Red Names Which thus ador'd their VOTARIES enflames Although already Places are so scant SIMON and JUDE they crowd in One for want All Saints together jumbled in one Day All Souls another unto whom they pray Yet They poor fools commit all sins to have A canonized name when in the Grave God-Fathers and God-Mothers Bishops Kings Images Pictures Crosses and such things Mother of Christ's four Brothers Sisters all Popes VIRGIN-QUEEN of HEAVEN her install Who next but MOTHER CHURCH that Scarlet WHORE Catholick Common Churches Sons adore Yea FATHERS of the Church of the fame Blood And HUSBANDS too of that incestuous Brood But that which is than all the rest most strange THEMSELVES they call the Church and Sexes change Though the sublimest Church and God of all Is there GOD-POPE and ev'ry CARDINAL BELL-CHURCHES also built of Brick and Stone Thus when they please they All or Any own But how came POPES this Power all to have Forsooth their FATHER-DEVIL them it gave The Devil offer'd Christ once to bestow All Kingdoms with their Glories here below Which he refus'd But since to Popes are given All Kingdoms of this World and KEY of Heaven Alas CHRIST knew not how to cringe and bow POPES can do All and all adore them now Poor Soul Christ had not Pride enough to bring MAJESTY due unto one earthly KING POPES give more Titles Glories in one Day To all those Kings who only them obey Than CHRIST Himself did ever here assume And over Kings or Caesars did presume Commandment II. GOD blasts all Worships but his own with Evils POPES command all to Angels Men and Devils Popes make both Gods and Worships more and more Popes make GODMAKERS to increase their store Popes make PREISTS BISHOPS CARDINALS and They Make WAFER GODS by Thousands in a Day Those IDOL-GODS must all adored be Yea WAFER-FLESH and BLOOD unseen must see A Task too hard for Bal'ams ASS t' endure Though God gives Eyes men have no seeing sure Saints worship GOD in Psalms and Hymns and Songs They in all Gestures also unknown Tongues And when they come their PA-GOD-POPE before KINGS kneel to kiss the SLIPPER of the whore Drunk with the Wine of Fornication Kings reel into their own Damnation Their WAFER-GODS with Latin-Charms they hallow Which People thousands in a Moment swallow The Three-crown'd-little-HORN here doth enter To change both Times and Laws he doth adventure Blaspheming God and wearing out the Saints The WITNESSES to kill he never faints And in the Streets their Corps lye in dead Letter The NATIONS see them but are not the better Mornings and Evenings are their WITNESS read But Hearers like the WITNESSES are dead For though Gods Doctrin's read once and agen They hear the Word of God but obey MEN. For with his MARK the BEAST so domineers That all Gods words pass thorough both the Ears When PRIESTS found perjur'd Traytors hanged are They worship RELIQUES of their Blood and Hair Cart-loads of CROSSES Maries Gown of Silk Rags Nails Bones Stones Maries VIRGIN-MILK 'T would Horses tire Legions of Saints to read With all their IDOL-PRAYERS to the Dead Yet that they may their Time in Worship spend Their BEADS and CROSSES round can have no End IDOLATRY God pardons not a whit But every Eye and Ear makes Judge of it Yea every Hand is EXECUTIONER God bids no wife nor Son nor Daughter spare Kings Princes Prophets Nations must not scape God makes it as a VINTAGE of the Grape Five Midian-Kings and Kingdoms were destroyed And PHINEAS his Priesthood so enjoyed Yea two and thirty Kings and Nations Were all destroyed with their Stations Who are they then more merciful than GOD They spill the Child because they spare the ROD Chusing IDOLATERS to rule and kill All NON-IDOLATERS at their own Will GOD therefore sends IDOLATERS to kill us Because we kill not THEM as God doth will us Commandment III. GODS NAME IN VAIN Christ bids SWEAR NOT AT ALL POPES command ALL to swear both great and small Swear must both rich and poor both bond and free None must escape this MARK of CRUELTIE With the right hand held up this MARK is took Swearing unknown Contents and kiss the BOOK 'T is the BEASTS Mark the fatal MARK of HELL Without which none may freely buy or sell On this Beast's MARK are founded all their LAWS This Beast's MARK also WORSHIP overaws All Popish-Courts have OATHS at their command Without an Oath no POPISH-COURT can stand In Popish-Courts no JUSTICE can be had But what with OATHS and SACRAMENTS are clad And though by OATHS Conspiracies are made Yet they allow FALSE-SWEARING as their Trade For so Demetrius-Art comes in by Stealth By CRAFT of Oaths they know they get their Wealth All PAPISTS cast away Gods Laws and then They swear and only Keep the Laws of Men. Can men believe for this the LAND must mourn Yea must for OATHS lie wast and all forlorn O brave-soul'd-QUAKERS who all OATHS withstood In spight of Laws of Prisons Famine Blood And yet can live in Peace and Trade and gain Thus proving SWEARING-OATHS to be in vain He that will swear will lie the Proverb saith He that will lie will swear both of like Faith What 's more than YEA or NAY Christ saith is EVIL Whence comes all SWEARING then but from the DEVIL Us'd to insnare the CONSCIENCE of the Just To plot all TREASONS or deceive all TRUST Commandment IV. GOds SABBATH is the seventh-SEVENTH-DAY of Rest Which GOD did hallow after SIX and blest POPES more than all the Six the SEVENTH prophane And in its stead the first-FIRST-DAY do ordain Rest God commands when we have labour'd SIX Popes do before all Labour REST prefix God makes the DAY from Even unto Night Popes from the Morning to next Morning-Light GOD links sev'n dayes in Weeks as in a Chain POPES break all Times and Weeks and Links as vain Men therefore blush not to blaspheme and say CHRIST was the CHANGLING did change the DAY Thus breaking Gods own Law make CHRIST a Sinner And of all SABBATH-BREAKING the Beginner Yea because Christ of Sabbath-Day is LORD To change it therefore he doth thus accord
