ye are not ashamed as Hazael was the prints of your former cruelties haue pierced our hearts but this last impression hath euen wounded our soules wherin we see nothing but traces of blood and as it were the blacke face and countenance of confused desolation King Queene Prince with all their Royall issue the onely remaine of our religious hope Councel Peeres and Prophets the next support of our happie estate graue Iudges and learned at Lawes with the Knights of the Parliament and Commōs there assembled a third pillar bearing vp the kingdome all these our honors had gone in a day Woe vnto vs that euer we sinned to deserue the hazard of so great a iudgement Which once accomplished to their full then had we felt to our wofull experience how speedily the mischief wold haue spred it self into the body bowels of all the kingdō wherin nothing should haue bene heard but rumbling of shot and chrashing of armor outcries of mothers and yelling of children nothing seen but sacking of cities burning of towns racing of towers wasting of the land with destruction of parts and desolation of the whole Quorum animus meminisse horret luctuque refugit And yet as all this were nothing or not enough we should haue seene these miscreants neuer sated with the bloud of the Saints til they had changed our religiō for superstition our knowledge for ignorance our preaching for massiing our subiects for Rebels our Councellors for conspirators and so haue brought vpō vs and ours A most wofull Sabaoth whē both the lawes of God man which are the sinewes of a sanctified state had bene dissolued and silent Now if any shall say as Hazael did Am I a dog that I shall do this great euil I answere with Elisha though in differing tearmes yet in equall sense The Lord hath told me experiēce hath made it good that where Romish Hazael is King there is crueltie Fraterno primi maduerunt sanguine muri The first walles of Rome were laide in blood and euer since they haue bene symonted with such morter as is euident by the ten cruel persecutions of Emperors in the first 300. yeares after Christ and by the crueltie of Popes euer sithence wherein Emperors haue bene Dogges to bite but Popes haue bene diuels to deuoure and make hauocke of Gods Saints nay worse then diuels and more audatious according to that Non audet stigius Pluto tentare quod audet effranis Monachus plenaque fraudis Anus Vnbrideled Monke dare vndergoe what diuel himselfe hee dare not do And here might I seasonably taxe the perpetuall hatred and intollerable crueltie of that Roman Antichrist toward the professors of Gods truth and Religion of whom I may truly say as the Prophet did of the Babilonians that they are and euer haue bene a people vile in name and sore in affliction Graues are pregnant and would bring foorth their dead to plead their iust cause against their cruelties and Abels innocent blood crieth vengeance out of the earth against these cursed Canites from vnder the Altar me think I heare the soules of them that are killed for the word of God and for the testimony which they maintained cry with a loude voice saying How long Lord which art holy and true doest not thou iudge and auenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth Of many take these fewe for all Et leonem ex vnguibus Nor will I kallender any but moderne cruelties and such as are yet fresh bleeding in the memories of men liuing of this age and clymate Mariana tempora Anglicana stigmata Maries times are English staines and who gaue the dye but that Romish red Dragon bloudy beast and whore of Babylon not sated with the blood of the Martyrs then liuing but ransacked the bones of their dead and burned them to glut vp their crueltie Witnesseth the buried bones of Paulus Fagius and Martin Bucer Andwarpe and Naples can witnesse like crueltie vpon a mother Queene and Prince of great hope whose Funeralls as some say were solemnized both in one moneth At Naples with ioy and at Andwarpe with griefe done by that Sanguinary Inquisition of Spaine Romish red Dragon and bloody beast of Babylon whose Horses mouthes fume nothing but fire smoke and brimstone Paris and France doe yer streame with the blood of the innocent murthered and slaine in that cruell massacre on Bartholomew day 1572. wherein the Shatilian was slaine and diuers others noble excellent men with all the flower of the Gentry and Protestants in France to the number as is thought of 100. thousand all done deuised by the two Cardinals of Lorraine and Peluey conntenanced by the Queene mother of France aided with her Guisian faction executed by Mandolet with such crueltie that out of the Court of the Gaile called the Archbishoppes prison the bloud was seene in the broade day-light to the great abhorring and feare of many that beheld it runne warme and smoking into the streets of the Towne and so downe into the Riuer of Scene So great a dishonor and so great an infamie to that nation as the most part of them are ashamed at this day of their owne Countrey defiled with two most filthy spots of Popery falshood and crueltie of the which whether hath bene the greater in that religion it is hard to say I passe to speake of the Butchery of Henry late King of France by two Iacobin Friars with poisoned kniues in their handes and Popish Bull in their bosomes which Guignard the Iesuite was not ashamed to call an heroicall act and a gift of the holy Ghost I say nothing of Parry his stab of death Lopas his Pill of poyson intended against Queene Eliza of famous memory by their owne confession the best natured and quallified Queene that euer liued in England yet this may I say that the dagger was sharpened and the Pill was poysoned with the venome of Popery else Benedetto Palmio and Hanniball Codrotto two factious Iesuites had neuer bene traduced as bellowes to blowe the fire and kindle the coales of so great a mischiefe with this warrantie to enflame their hellish hearts that the fact was lawfull and meritorious But if all these were clapt in one they may not ballance with the waight woe of our late entented dismall day if God of his great mercy and wonted clemency had not put by the deadly blow For a day of death like that of doome in Ictu oculi had put out the light of Englande King Queene Prince Peere and people All had perished and all at once Seruants had ruled ouer vs none could haue deliuered vs out of their hands our inheritance had bene turned to the straungers and our houses to the Aliants our Fathers had beene childlesse and our children fatherlesse In our English Rama had
