A07760	The anatomie of popish tyrannie wherein is conteyned a plaine declaration and Christian censure, of all the principall parts, of the libels, letters, edictes, pamphlets, and bookes, lately published by the secular-priests and English hispanized Iesuties, with their Iesuited arch-priest; both pleasant and profitable to all well affected readers.	Bell, Thomas, fl. 1593-1610.	1603 (1603)	STC 1814; ESTC S101424	145,503	220

prudent a counsell as her Maiesties is if not for a toleration of our rites at least for a mitigation of our aggriefes in the meane time Thus write the priestes out of these words I note first that the papists expect a day viz. the death of her Maiestie eyther naturall or violent whose happie life and victoirous raigne God blesse with Nestors yeares and defend her sacred person her honour crowne and royall scepter from all trayterous attempts and bloody designements of the Pope Spaniard Iesuite and other disloyall papists now and euer I note secondly that the priests expect trouble rather then peace in their long wished change and conquest I note thirdly that the priests boldly anouch that her Maiesties graue counsellers cannot preuent the mischiefe that the disloyall papists are able to worke in this land I note fourthly that they proudly and malepeartly like saucie malcontents auaunt their partie to be so great after fortie yeares persecution that the Queenes power must stand in feare thereof I note fiftly that they seeme to haue conceiued an hope that they shall as it were with bigge words and threats enforce a toleration to be granted them Where me th●●ke they should rather feare to procure sharper measure to them selues in time to come then to liue in hope of any toleration My reasons are these First because where they would haue rendred humble thanks for her Maiesties great clemencie they contrariwise bragge of their great partie which her Maiestie might haue cut short before this day Secondly because if their partie be great and strong as they auaunt it is there is greater cause to keepe them vnder and suppresse then to giue them more scope by granting a toleration Paragraph V. Of the popish Catholike religion of Secular priests and why it is called Catholike THus write the Catholike secular priests of their popish Catholike religion Is there any sinne deare Catholikes rising vpon infirmitie and frailtie of man committed by an apostate an infidell an heretike an atheist cast out of the fauour of God and accursed out of his Church but a Catholike may often hath fallen into the saire and yet remained constant in his religion to death questionlesse there is not As innumerable examples of treasons of murthers of adulteries of incests of drunkennes of cusnage of what not vice doth verifie it in all nations in all times sexes and sorts of people These words are set down in their preface to their important considerations a little from the beginning thereof Note heere gentle reader many most excellent epithites which the secular Romish priests ascribe to themselues and to their Romish or popish Catholikes Viz. That they may be traytors murtherers adulterers incestuous persons drunkerds co●seners and all manner malefactors and yet be popish catholiks good enough constant in the popish religion vnto death If the papists thēselues had not written thus who would haue beleeued me none at all But Gods spirit hath enforced their owne pennes to testifie the truth against themselues Out of this their plaine doctrine and open confession these golden corollaries are deduced euidently First that the popish religion may fitly be termed Catholike that is to say generall or vniuerall and the professors of the same religion Catholikes that is generalls For in good sooth if they speake truly of themselues all vices generally are in themselues and they are generally vitious as their letters patents tels vs. Secondly that where they imagine there is a purgatorie after this life it may seeme that such their opinatiue doctrine proceeded of their most beastly liuing For treasons murthers adulteries incests drunkennes cou●enage and al vices that can be must needs haue a purgation doubtlesse And consequently these notorious vices remayning in popish Catholikes vnto death no maruell if they dreamed of a popish new no purgatorie after this life Thirdly that the popish religion cannot be good For as Saint Iames saith cap. 1. pure and sound religion is this to keepe our selues vnspotted of this world And therefore seeing popish religion may stand with such vices it cannot be good Paragraph VI. Of the Romish late English Archpriest and the excellencie of his creation IN good sooth we thinke his mastership as farre to blame as eyther of them or more in that being a secular priest he doth so tyrannize ouer his owne brethren by calling and hath not the wit to see how he is abused and made a puppie to dance after their pipe and to execute what they doe commaund him These words are set downe in the preface to their relation In another place thus Because none are iudged vertuous that oppose themselues selues against the Iesuites or refuse to worship their Iesuiticall idoll our Arch-priest But in good sooth master Blackwell speake truly man doth not that contention in some sort touch your high authoritie Was it not the ground of it Did not our garboyles beget your greatnes If master Weston had preuailed with vs master Garnet would haue wiued your nose for dealing like a young prince abroad as you doe And therefore indeed in a right goodsense wee are your good masters and so you ought to esteeme vs. These words are set downe in the same preface to their relation Note heere gentle reader these important points with me First that the popish priests in this Realme are so multiplied and become so strong and mightie and haue conceiued so firme and constant hope of their abilitie shortly to accomplish their long wished conquest that they haue desired their Pope to appoint presently some bishoppe or bishoppes ouer them What would these boysterous Nimrods doe if a toleration were granted them if they be so sawcie malepeart and peremptorie when they are in some sort by law kept vnder and supprest what troubles what garboyles what sedition and treacherie would they stirre vp thinke you If the magistrates should fauour them in such sort as they desire I doubt not but her Maiesties wise and graue counsellers doe sufficiently see what marke these good fellowes ayme at Secondly that the Iesuites labour with tooth and nayle that they may haue all and ouerrule all And when they could not preuaile therein as they wished directly their solemne vowe withstanding it they brought to passe by indirect meanes that an Arch-priest to their liking is appointed ouer all This Lordly Arch-priest is George Blackwell forsooth I know the man right well He is made a puppie to daunce as the Iesuites pipe vnto him For he is the Iesuiticall idoll as the priests write and dareth to doe nothing but as they commaund him neyther may hee refuse to execute whatsoeuer they will haue done Thirdly that it is true which I probably foretolde long since in my booke of motiues viz. That as the Romish English seminarie beganne with an vngodly oath and dissention so it would continue vnto the end And I pray you is it not this day apparant to the world You see it it can not bee
