Papists These horrid and inhumane practices macle the rest of the Protestants fly to their Arms in the natural defence of themselves and their Families against the rage and fury of these Lions Tygers and Bears in the shapes of men But those that were so brisk at Massacring and Murdering such as did not resist them were meer Cowards at fighting and the Protestants prevail'd against them with small numbers and defended themselves against their Cruelty But at last by the Mediation of the Switzers Hollanders and other Protestant-Princes and especially the English who contributed above Thirty Thousand Pound to the Relief of their Wants and Miseries the breach was made up but yet so made that the poor remaining Protestants live under the Tyranny of their Popish Task-masters being forbid all manner of Traffick wronged of their Estates and Goods their Ministers Banished their Virgins Ravished the Women affronted the Men beaten and abused and the Valleys are become like Dungeons in which they are kept as Slaves and secured by strong Forts and Garrisons of Papists so that they are even dying whilst they live and have cause to cry out How long O Lord holy and true d●st thou not judge and avenge our blood c. Rev. 6.10 The Persecution of the Protestants in Bohemia Germany Poland and Lithuania THe Persecutions of the Papists against the Bohemians began very early even about 977 years after the death of our blessed Saviour Pope Hildebrand otherwise called Hell-brand was the first that fell upon them and afterwards Pope Celestine and Persecution continued upon them for many years and John Huss and Jerom of Prague were burnt in defence of the Gospel at Constance notwithstanding they had the Publick Faith of the Empire of Germany given them for their security At a Town called Cuttenburgh there are many deep Metal Mines into one of which in the year 1420. the Papists threw one thousand and seven hundred persons at one time for their Religion into another one thousand thirty eight and into a third a thousand three hundred and thirty four persons In the year 1421. one Pichel a chief Magistrate of the City Litomeritia having taken twenty four of the chie● Citizens and among them his Son-in law put them in an high Tower 〈◊〉 being there almost famished they were at ●ast brought out and condemned to be drowned their Wives Children and Friends following them to execution with cryer and tears yea the Magistrates own Daughter came with prayers and tears to her Father beseeching him to spare her Husband but he like a hard-hearted wretch only said Cannot you have a better Husband than this To whom seeing his cruelty she answered You shall never marry me to any but this And so going along with them when she saw her Husband thrown into the River she leapt in after him and imbracing him endeavoured to save his life but being unable to do it they both perished together and the next day she was found with him fast in her Arms and they were both buried in one Grave A while after a Minister four men and four Boys were all burnt together in one fire at Prague because they received the Sacrament in both kinds and indeed many and almost innumerable were the murthers torments and inhumane barbarities committed both publickly and privately on these poor Christians About the year 1523. Martin Luther began to shine as a great light in Germany and his Doctrine soon overspread Bohemia and all the parts adjoyning which so enraged the Pope and his Clergy that they continually raised very violent persecutions against them wherein multitudes of good Christians lost their lives by means of Ferdinand the First and Charles the Fift Emperours of Germany There were no less than two hundred Ministers banished out of Bohemia at one time and the Lord of Schanow because he was a Lutheran was accused of a Conspiracy and laid upon the Rack but he couragiously cut out his own Tongue and being demanded the reason of it he wrote That it was lest the torments of the Rack should make him speak falsly against himself or others In the year 1617. Ferdinand the Second was obtruded upon the Bohemians who joining with the Papists raised up a very terrible Persecution against the Protestants which was the cause of the Electing of Frederick Prince Palatine of the Rhine to be King of Bohemta upon which there followed those cruel Wars and troubles in that Country wherein many godly Ministers and other pious holy and good men suffered such barbarities and inhumanities from the Popish Souldiers that the Ears of a Christian cannot hear nor his Tongue relate them without the greatest abhorrency and indignation for some of them were stoned to death others hanged upon a Beam and with a soft fire made under them were roasted to death others were cut piece-meal One Minister they laid on his back and ramming his mouth full of Gunpowder set fire to it and blew his head all to pieces Another they hanged up by the Privy Members being seventy years old and burnt his own Books under him and at last shot him to death after he had endured all manner of torment and pain In the year 1621. all the Ministers were banished out of the Kingdom of Bohemia and all the Provinces thereunto belonging never more to return and it was made death to harbour or conceal any of them About the same time twenty one Ministers were banished from Cuttenburgh A Popish Captain caused a Ministers hand first to be stricken off and then his head his bowels to be taken out and wrapt in his shirt and his four quarters to be set upon four Stakes and his head on another At the same time likewise fifty of the Nobility were condemned some to death some to banishment and others to perpetual imprisonment twenty seven were executed who all died with great constancy of mind and fervency of spirit sealing the Protestant Cause with their blood the heads and right hands of some of charge for carrying on the work and thus he began with the Sword that he might end with the Faggot The Duke of Saxony and the Lantgrave of Hessen stood up for the Protestants and were taken Prisoners in the year 1547. And where-ever the Papists got the better all sorts of cruelties murders racks tortures fire and faggot followed upon the Protestants so that all Germany was as it were in a flame and combustion at once all places being in a lamentable condition some flying and others suffering death on every side for their Conscience and Religion At a Town called Meldorp they took a godly Minister named Sutphen out of his Bed and forced him to go many miles on foot in Frost and Snow upon the Ice bare-footed and bare-legg'd beating cutting and flashing him and pricking him forward with their Halberts and at last they barbarously roasted him to death Many were drowned at Vienna and put to several sorts of death Ladies and Gentlewomen were yokt together like

of admirable wisdom and understanding who when the King came one time into his Parliament at Paris made a bold speech before him wherein he gave thanks to Almighty God for moving the Kings Heart to be prefent at such a weighty matter as that of Religion which it seems was then to be debated humbly intreating him to consider well thereof it being the Cause of Christ himself which of good Right ought to be maintained by Princes but the King was so far from bearkening to him that being in raged he commanded him to be committed to Prison and protested to him in these very words These Eyes of mine shall see thee burnt And a while after he was condemned to die In the mean time great Triumphs were preparing for the Marriage of the Kings Sister Daughter the day being come he spent all the morning in Examining matters against Du Bourg and some others charged with the same Doctrines intending to glut his Eyes with their Execution and then went to Dinner After Dinner the King ran at Tilt near the Prison where Du Bourg was and brake many Spears against the Count Montgomery and others and all thinking he had done enough desired him to give over with praise But the King being inflamed with their Commendations would needs run another course with Count Montgomery who upon his knees begg'd his Majesty pardon but the King being resolved commanded him to do it upon his Allegiance Montgomery being compel'd addrest himself to it and the King and he meeting broke their Spears and the Kings Helmet falling down at the same Instant one of the Splinters of Montgomeries Spear entred just into his right eye and so pierced his head that his brains were perished which wound being incurable he died thereof within Eleven days after whereby his great hopes of seeing the Death of Du Bourg were frustrated And the Execution of Du Bourg was deferr'd for six Months longer all which time persevering constantly in the truth he was first degraded and then accompanied with six or seven hundred Horse and Foot well arm'd he was guarded to Execution being first hang'd and then burnt to Ashes At Amiens in France all the Bibles Testaments and ●salm Books were burnt the Ministers Pulpit and several Men and Women At Abbeville they slew the Lord of Harcourt and dragg'd some along the Streets with their their faces in the Kennel At Meux above Four hundred Religious Citizens were slain the Women and Maids were openly ravished in the Streets and Market-places Men Women and Children were Massacred the very Popish Priests themselves slaying divers with their own hands At a place called Bar the same if not worse Villanies were committed for the Papists pull'd out the hearts of these poor Protestants and most barbarously gnawed them with their Teeth rejoycing that they tasted of an Hug●nots heart At another place seven Hundred Protestants were inhumanely massacred and their naked Bodies thrown into the River Their Houses and Church being likewise plundered and Burnt At Angies they murthered a Godly Minister and many others and finding a Fair Bible gilt they hung it upon an Halbert and carried it in procession blasphemously crying Behold Truth hang'd the Truth of the Hugonots The Truth of all the Devils behold the Mighty God behold the Everlasting God will speak and when they came to the Bridge they threw it into the River crying louder Behold the Truth of all the Devils drown'd At Tours an hundred and forty were murdered and cast into the River and neither Man Woman nor Child spared nay the President of the City being only suspected to be a Favourer of the Protestants was first beaten with Staves then stript to his shirt hang'd up by one Foot his Head in the Water up to the Breast and whilst he was yet alive they ript up his Belly pluckt out his Guts threw them into the River and sticking his heart on a Lance they carried it about saying This is the Heart of the President of the Hugonots A Poor Woman whose Husband was a while before drown'd having a young Infant sucking at her Breasts and a beautiful Daughter of about sixteen years old in her hand these bloody Villains drove them to a River and taking the Daughter aside some of the Rascals endeavoured to seduce her to Popery and one of them who was finer than the rest promised to marry her so that the poor Maid began to doubt which her Mother who was just going to be thrown into the River perceiving she earnestly exhorted her Daughter to persist in the Truth whereupon the Daughter cryed out I will live and die with my Mother whom I know to be●d Virtuous Woman and as for your Threats and Promises I regard them not do with me what you please Before the Mother was quite drowned the Daughter was likewise thrown in who making toward her Mother they mutually embraced each other and so yielded up their Souls into the hands of God In the same City of Tours there was a very Religious Woman who being brought before the Captain she there gave an Account of her Faith which she confirmed by Scripture insomuch that the Fryers who discoursed with her could not return any answer but only told her That she was in a damnable condition It seems so indeed said she being in your hands And being then committed to prison she declared her mind freely and comforted the other Protestant Prisoners she was afterward condemn'd to be hang'd and the Rope being put about her neck she kneeled down praising and magnifying the name of God in shewing her so much mercy as by that death to deliver her out of this wretched world and that she was so far honoured as to die for the Truth and to wear Gods Livery as she reckoned the halter to be she then brake her fast with the rest of the Company and exhorted them to be of good courage and to trust in the free mercy of God to the end As she went to Execution one of her kindred brought her own little Children to see her and perswaded her to recant and save her life to provide for these Innocent Babes This was a very great Temptation and wrought so upon her Motherly affection as drew plenty of Tears from her Eyes But a while after resuming her former Courage and Constancy she said I love my Children dearly yet neither for love to them nor for any thing else in this World will I renounce my God or his Truth God will be a Father to these my Children and will provide better for them than I could have done and therefore to his providence and protection I commend and leave them After which she went cheerfully to the place of Execution and having there prayed to and praised God she quietly resigned up her Spirit to him A while after the City of Roan was besieged and two of the Forts taken wherein they put all the Protestants to the Sword and the Queen Mother being at
