It is true humiliation and the washing of our sins with his precious blood must make vs fit for admission What is Calamus Benimmi or Storax says the Prophet or a thousand riuers of oile to make vs delicately cleane and smell of perfumes except the Lord purge and cleanse vs and by the operation of his holy Spirit wipe away our leprous spots of iniquitie and purifie vs by a new sanctification not by the Purgatory of Papistry the intercession of Saints the Masses of Priests the merits of works the Indulgences of the Pope the trentals dirges of cozening Friers nor in a word the trumperies and fooleries of processions and puppet playes Now come to the hammer that strikes all home to the stone that pushed the golden image in peeces to the iron rod that bruiseth Gods enemies to powder the Apocalips I meane and he that hath eares to heare let him heare I saw vnder the altar the soules of them that were killed for the word of God and for the testimonie which they maintained Oh the bloody massacres of France and the crueltie of the Romane Bishops oh the tyrannie of the Inquisition and the searches of Iesuites and Priests all ouer Europe oh the fiery trials persecutions in Queen Maries dayes and those blood-thirsty enemies of God Gardner and Bonner with the rest of Satans instruments worse then Adonibeseck the tyrant who cut off the hands and feet of 70 Kings But vnderstand what followes both to them and all the rest that forget God And the Kings of the earth and the great men and the rich men and the chiefe Captaines and the mightie men and the bond-man and euery freeman hid themselues in dens and among the rocks of the mountaines and said to the mountaines and rocks Fall on vs and hide vs from the presence of him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. And he opened the bottomlesse pit and there arose the smoake of the pit and the smoake of a great fornace and the Sunne and the aire were darkned by the smoake of the pit And there came out of the smoake Locusts vpon the earth and vnto them was giuen power as the Scorpions of the earth haue power What is all this and much more that followes but Popish Priests false teachers hereticks indeed and such as would eclipse and darken the glory of Gods word and peruert the doctrine of holy Scripture Marke the rest we beseech you And when they haue finished their testimonie the Beast that cometh out of the bottomlesse pit shall make warre against them and shall ouercome them and kill them and their corpse shall lie in the streets of the great Citie which spiritually is called Sodome and Egypt where our Lord also was crucified And there appeared another great wonder in heauen for behold a great red Dragon hauing seuen heads and ten hornes and there was a battell in heauen Michael and his Angels fought against the Dragon And the great Dragon that old Serpent called the Diuell and Satan was cast out which deceiueth all the world And I saw a Beast rise out of the Sea with seuen heads and ten hornes and he opened his mouth vnto blasphemy against God And I saw three vnclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false Prophet And great Babylon came in remembrance before God to giue vnto her the cup of the wine of the fiercenesse of his wrath Come I will shew thee the damnation of the great Whore that sitteth vpon many waters with whom haue committed fornication the Kings of the earth And I saw a Woman sit vpon a scarlet coloured beast full of names of blasphemy Oh reade the whole Chapter with all that followeth concerning Romes prophesie and then consider with your selues who would either be a Papist or allow of Papistry in any Christian gouernment for either you must discredit this prophesie or think the holy Ghost very vnmannerly in these epith●tes and titles or be ashamed of your profession and so turne to the Lord if be possible by true contrition and reformation of life But most gracious Lords we will come nearer home to you you know what letters haue passed from your Bishops to inferiour Ministers concerning what and how they shall preach with certaine limitation of handsome language toward the Papists that none of these fearfull characters in Scriptures shall be once mentioned against them you know how the Lord Keeper would faine haue moderated the charges of the Iudges of Assise at their solemne Sessions and Assemblies as if there were a full determination in the gouernment to repeale all the Statutes of Queen Elizabeth yea the King himselfe against Papists Priests and Iesuites You know how audacious they haue been euen of late dayes to iustifie their bad dispositions toward the State and make a publicke protestation of their inficious wilfulnesse insomuch that some of them dared to say when we reioyced with bonfires at the Princes returne that they were sory to see so much wood spent in vain for there would not be fagots enough left to burne the Hereticks in London What then hath our gracious Soueraigne gotten by this partiall charitie or conniuencie at Papists but at home a generall feare lest the Diuell should lay hold vpon the latch of the doore and so take aduantage of no bodies
