the High Priest remooued the Altar of the Lord. Whereby it appeareth that the Priesthood was corrupted the Altar remooued and consequently the sacrifice ceased Now I trust there is no Papist so impudent to say that either the true Church was in the Scribes and Pharisies or in the time of Achas Manasses and many other Kings of Israell so visible and populous as they would haue it but that the Church of Christ were in that small number wheresoeuer dispersed Secondly the Church of Rome holdes that ignorance is the mother of deuotion but Christ saith ignorance is the mother of error saying You erre not knowing the Scriptures and Christ biddeth the Matth. 22. 29. Ioh. 5. 39. Coloss 3. 16. Acts. ●7 people to search the Scripture Paul commaunded that the word of God should dwell plentiously in the people whereby they might teach themselues and the Berenas examined the Scriptures Thirdly the Church of Rome teacheth that the Scriptures ought to be taught in a strange tongue Saint Paul saith He that 1. Cor. 14. speaketh in a strange tongue speaketh not vnto men but vnto God for no man heareth him howbeit in the spirit he speaketh secret things He that speaketh in a strange language edifieth himselfe I would that you all spake strange languages but rather that you prophecied For greater is he that prophecieth then he that speaketh diuers tongues except he expound it that the Church may receiue edification And now brethren if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues what shall it profit you c. Moreouer things without life which giue a sound whether it be a Harpe or a Pipe except they make a distinction in the sound how shall it be knowne what is piped or harped So likewise yee by the tongue except you vtter words which haue signification how shall it be vnderstood what is spoken for you shall speake in the ayre Fourthly the Church of Rome doth teach there is a Purgatorie Christ in the Gospell sheweth onely two places namely heauen and hell Christ said to the theefe This day shalt thou be with me in Luk. 16. Luke 23. 43. Paradise Christ saith Verily verily I say vnto you he that heareth my words and beleeueth him that sent me hath eternall life Ioh. 5. 25. Phil. 1. 2. 3. and commeth not into condemnation but passeth from death to life Saint Paul saith I couet to be dissolued and to be with Christ Againe For we know that when this earthly tabernacle of ours is dissolued we haue a building of God not made with hands but 2. Cor. 5. 1. Reuel 14. 13. eternall in the heauens Againe Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hencefoorth they rest from their labours and their workes follow them And Saint Peter telleth the Saints and children 1. Pet. 1. 9. of God and assureth them of it That the end of their faith is the saluation of their soules Fiftly the Church of Rome teacheth that since the fall of Adam man hath free-will Whereas God saith After that time that the Gen. 6. imaginations of mens harts are onely euill euery day Christ saith Iere. 7. No man can come vnto me except the father draw him Againe Rom. 3. 10. Conuert thou me and I shall be conuerted Also There is not one Heb. 11. 6. that doth good no not one Againe Without faith it is vnpossible Rom. 14. 23. to please God And againe Whatsoeuer is not of faith is sinne Ioh. 15. 1 2. Also Except men be ingrafted into him they can bring foorth no fruits besides many places to like effect Sixtly the Church of Rome deliuereth the Sacrament but in one kinde namely bread Christ saith Drinke yee all of this cup. Paul Matth. 26. 27. 1. Cor. 11. 23. 28. 1. Corinthians 11. 23. 28. saith Let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of this bread and drinke of this cup. Seuenthly the Church of Rome holdeth transubstantiation in the Sacrament and this they would seeme to ground vpon these words This is my body which they will haue to be expounded literally but why then doe they not expound the other words of Christ literally also concerning the cup For the text saith in the 27. and 28. verses that He tooke the cup and said This is my bloud I am sure they will not say that the cup was the bloud of Christ as the words be but they will graunt a figure in those words namely that by the cup is meant the wine in it if then they will admit a figure in this why may there not be a figure in the other namely This is my body should be vnderstood thus This bread is a figure of my body which was broken for you Circumcision was called the Lords couenant when indeed it was not the couenant So likewise the Paschall Lambe is called the Passeouer when indeed it was but a signe of the Passeouer Christ saith Doe this in remembrance of me And Saint Paul saith plainely and expresly 1. Cor. 11. 26. 28. that the communicants doe eate bread and therefore it remaineth bread after the words of consecration For if it were transubstantiated into the body of Christ then were there no bread to eate but the body of Christ is the thing that should be eaten but none doth eate the very body of Christ. For if euery communicant did eate the very body of Christ naturally carnally and really as they grosly suppose Christ should haue a number of bodies which is palpably absurd and monstrous to thinke Besides if Christ gaue his body to be eaten really by his Disciples at the time of the institution of this Sacrament what was it that did hang vpon the crosse on the morrow Moreouer S. Peter saith Acts 3. 21 that as touching the body of Christ The heauens must containe him to the end of the world Eightly the Church of Rome holdeth the Pope hath authority to depose Kings and Princes God deposeth the mightie from their seates and exalteth them of low degree It is God that testifieth of Luke 1. Dan. 2. 20. 4. 14. 21. 2. Cor. 10. 4. Rom. 13. 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. Pet. 2. 13. Tit. 3. 1. himselfe By me Kings raigne and Princes haue dominion Paul confesseth plainely that the weapons of their warfare are not carnall but mightie through God that is spirituall And it is manifest by the practise of the Apostles and all their precepts commaunding all Christians to obey their rulers their Kings Princes yea though they were persecutors the Apostles neuer had any such authority commited to them Christ himselfe saith his kingdome was not of Ioh. 18. 36. Ioh. 6. 15. Math. 22. 21. this world and Christ himselfe refused to be made a King Christ himselfe also paid tribute vnto Caesar and commaunded others to giue the same and all other dueties of subiection and obedience to Caesar And Christ hath expresly forbidden his Apostles in them all

sprinkled all with red View well their brookes how bloodie they doe looke The blood that Ireland sheds from day to day For vengeance cries to God without delay What is the cause this land in such termes stands But only that the people fell from God And brake Gods Sabboths with a mightie hand Forsooke the Preachers of his blessed word Apostates the most of them haue plaid And will not turne for ought that may be said Seminarie priests and lying Friers First sware them that Gods word they shall not heare And teach them their oth vnto their Prince May lawfully be broken when they will And sweares them that deuoutly they shall keepe What so the Pope of Rome and themselues like These are the grounds from whence all mischiefe spring These are the causes that rebellion is These are the reasons Spaniards inuade This is the matter no amendment comes For why the diuell now is busie still To draw all men to chuse what best he will O famous Queene who holds this land by right Whose care hath been and is to cure their sore What louing fauours hath her Grace bestowd On mightie men and subiects of this land Whose wise foresights in time might stop full well The streames from whence these mischiefes so do swel But well her Highnesse hath from time to time Obserued still this nations wandring thoughts And seene into their natures and their liues Who like yong colts and heifers loue to fling That without bits and bridles and strong hand Will not be held in peace or rest to stand The better therefore to instruct their liues As louing fathers vse vnto their sonnes To keepe

Sidney another held of good account Fitz Williams had the like authoritie Lord Gray did also rule by like commaund Parret was chosen to the selfesame place And Russell held the sword another space Lord Burrowes had the soueraigne seate also Essex was placed in the chaire of state Besides all these Lord Iustices bare sway And vnto them graue Counsellors were ioynd By whose aduice and gouernment was thought Vnto good life that Ireland would be brought Besides the charge for these same chosen men What summes of gold and siluer hath been spent What maste of victuals forth of England come What store of powder and munition What English blood in Ireland hath been shed Since first these Rebels grew vnto a head Besides all this what Irish euer was Vpon complaint vnto his soueraigne Queene Of

birth In equall ballance lay thy present cause Did euer subiects dealt withall as these In such vngratefull sort reward their Prince No no it s hard like president to finde Subiects to Prince were neuer so vnkinde In lieu of all that hath been said before Which were sufficient motiues to preuaile In any heart where feare of God did rest What hope is yet in this rebellious man No hope at all for why his peacocks plume Is spread abroad the land for to consume This rauening kite this carren crow by kinde These seauen long winters with his bloodie hands Haue wasted spoild and robd from friend and foe And fild vp holes and dennes and caues therewith In trust that men and meanes the way would worke To make him king by others harme and hurt And not content mischiefe at home to warpe In forraine parts like rancor he did plot To ioyne with him he drew the Spaniards in For men for money and what els he could Supposing by that meanes about to bring To dispossesse the Queene and make him king More firme to purchase his aspiring thoughts In priuate corners all about the land In secret manner he had drawne to him All hollow hearts and those of Popish marke This monster thus his poison forth had blowne And hop'd at last to reape what he had sowne But the proud Hamon when he thought all sure Was farthest off his purpose and intent God sits on high and sees mens acts on earth And topsie turuie throwes the wicked downe All ages tels experience proues it plaine In most extreames God raiseth helpe againe To buckle with this Archrebell Tyrone God mou'd the Queene and Nobles of her land To mount to state Mountioy faithfull Peere That by his hight might Tyrone trample downe And by the Sun-beames spreading from his crest The Rebels heart teare from his traitors breast And blessed beames since first they gaue their light How hath the streames which faire Mountioy spreads Dazled the eyes of Tyrone and his traine And dimbd their sight like men that 's blindfold led For oft we see darke clowdes and foggie mist When Sun once shines it driues them where it list Witnesse the Moyrie where Mountioy lay In fogs in winds in stormes and powring raine Not for a night a day a weeke or month But more then fiftie daies and winter nights When tents when cabbins cels and shelters all By whirling winds and stormes were forst to fall Close by his side this subtile Serpent lay And all the rabble of his rebell slaues Like leering foxes in their hatefull dennes All furnisht well for to maintaine their broile But when as once Mountioy came in sight The snailes drew in their heads and durst not fight There did Mountioy tyre this Tyrone well There did his beames his darkest trench make shine There did Mountioy traine him to the field There was Tyrone beat from his strongest hold And in the end a cowards part did play For like false Rebels there they stole away But like himselfe Mountioy mounted yet And with the brightnes of his flying beames Found out the Rebell and his damned crue Who in Armah were close and slylie laid For why the Moyrie had so curbd the cur That he and whelps were glad to run so fur There did these snakes roule round their tailes a while Yet at the last were forst to cast their skinnes Like coward cocks that thinkes their dunghils best Durst not abide Armah where
