THE BLACK BOX of ROOME opened From whence are revealed the Damnable Bloody Plots Practises and behaviour of Iesuites Priests Papists and other Recusants in generall Against Christian Princes Estates and the people in those places where they have lived c. Printed in the Yeare 1641 THE IESVITES BLASPHEMOVS CONIVRATIONS TO ENCOVrage their Proselytes to King-killing treacheries SVch is the most bloody and most blasphemous impudency of these Romish Incendiaries that when they put on a devilish and desperate resolutiō to murther any Emperor King or Prince whom they have once pronounced to be an Hereticke and excommunicate person and thereupon intend to murther him by some Raviliack whom they make choice of for the execution of the said Treason that after such an vnfortunate and wretched person is once allured and entred into their place of consultation or chamber of Philonicall prayers forsooth as they call them These infernall firebrands kneele all down who in their prayers observe their ●ime and put before the intended Traitor a knife folded vp in a scarfe shut vp in a little Box covered with an Agnus Dei written about with black letters of perfumes odorifirous Characters and when they draw it out themselves they cast or sprinckle some drops of holy water upon it and which done they hang at the hafte of the said knife five or sixe graines of Corrall which are blessed by them who blasphemously they give him to vnderstand and make him beleeve that so many blowes as shall be given by him with the said knife so many soules be released out of Purgatorie Afterwards putting the knife into the intended Murtherers hand they pronounce these words saying Goe now like Iephte with the Sword of Sampson in thy hand the sword with which David did cut off Goliahs head the Sword of Gedion yea the Sword with which Iudith did cut off Holophernes head the sword of the valiant Machabees and the same with which Saint Peter did cut off Malcas his eare yea I say the sword of Pope Iulius the second with the which breaking the forces of oppugning Princes he tooke out of their hands with great effusion of blood the Cities of Sezza Imola Fayance Bologna and many other Cities goe thus I say thou magnanimous Champion of the chaire of Rome and be valiant and God strengthen thine arme for the great worke now intended by thee After which this infernall kennell of Romish blood-hounds kneele all downe and the most wretchedly renowned and cursedly quallified amongst them with a cauterized conscience and immarbled heart pronounceth the bloody Conjuration impiously and impudently saying as followeth Come Cherabims come Seraphins and highest Thrones that rule come blessed Angels yea blessed Angels of charity come and fill this holy Vessel with glory and eternity and bring him presently the Crowne of the Virgin Mary of the Patriarches and of the Martyrs for he belongeth no longer to us but to you And thou oh dreadfull and terrible God who hast revealed to him in these our prayers and meditations that he ought to murther a Tyrant and confound a Hereticke and to give the Crowne to a Catholike King And being by us disposed to this meritorious Murther vouchsafe to fortifie his senses and encrease his forces to the end that he may accomplish this thy great will and vouchsafe to arme and furnish him with the Harnesse of thy powerfull providēce that he may valiantly performe the worthy worke he hath piously vndertaken may happily escape from those who would apprehend him give him Eagles wings that the spight and malice of those Barbarians whom he goes against may not once touch his sanctified members extend also the beames of thy joy and coelestiall felicity vpon his sacred soule to the end that by the blessed influence thereof the parts and members of his body also may be encouraged and enabled to this great work that it may chearfully dispose it selfe to this holy Combate without feare or shrinking pusillanimity This accursed Conjuration being thus audaciously and gracelessely vttered they carry the thus inchanted bloody Regicide and set him before an Altar where they shew him a Picture wherein the angels are seene and showne to have lifted vp and elevated long since Iames Clement a bloody Iacobine Fryer and represented him as it were before the Throne of God saying Lord behold thy Pupill behold thy well instructed Champion and the accomplisher of thy iustice Whereupon all the Saints rise out of their seates to make him roome and give him place among them And when all these things are thus done and finished there are no more but foure Iesuites onely left with him who when they come neare him hey with diabolicall impudency and lying flattery say unto him that they seeme to perceive that there is some Deity infused into him and that they are so astonished with the radiant light-shining and glistering in him that they hold it their honour to kisse his hands and feet and make him madly to beleeve that they account him not a meare man any longer but that they esteeme themselves as it were as they say half vnworthy of the happinesse and glory which he hath already obtained by his Catholick resolution and sighing deepely before him they say vnto him we would that God had chosen us and called us to your estate since we should be truly assured that we should goe really and directly into Paradice without comming at Purgatorie And thus having intoxicated and bewitched the miserable wretch they thus leave him to his intended bloody designe The end of the Conjuration BVt it is no wonder since they have so good correspondence with Iewes Turkes and Infidels and as Mahomet did in times past so doe these propogate their Sect with fire and Sword and all manner of violence for let us looke vpon their first founder he was a cruell and proud Hypocrite Paul the 3. who confirmed this order was both a carnall and a bloody man the one in having many whores and bastards the other in persecuting innocent Christians in the Warres in Germany They professe obedience but practise Sedition and Rebellion Claudius Matthew a Iesuite and R. Henry the 3. of France his Confessor was the most principall author and agent in the league of Papists against him Parsons and Campion were sent into England to make a faction for the Papists Iames Gordon Creighton and Haies Jesuites laid a plot not onely for a rebellion in Scotland but also for the invasion of England Neither hath their beene any warre raised of late in any part of Christendome wherein they have not borne a principall part They talke much of Chastity but how chaste they are let the Bona Robas of Rome and Padua witnesse They professe poverty but dwell in sumptuous palace the furniture of which is most gorgious and princely their Armes are placed above the armes of Princes they pretend to beg for the English that are distressed beyond the Seas but indeed give them a small
