A95878	Babylons beautie: or The Romish-Catholicks svveet-heart. Containing a most lively and lovely description of Romes cardinall vertues and rarest endowments, with her apostolicall benedictions on kings and kingdomes, under her tyrannicall subjection; briefly and bravely depainted, in their native-splendour. A worke most seasonably composed for the revived eternall shame of all the mad-maintainers and idolizers of Romes great Diana, so cried-up and fought for, now a daies, by papists, atheists, and formall malignant Protestants. / By John Vicars.	Vicars, John, 1579 or 80-1652.	1644 (1644)	Wing V293; Thomason E44_9; ESTC R23310	32,354	40

therewithall she immediately died O was not here a brave breach of their loud and lying bragge of an uninterrupted succession of Popes and Bishops of Rome And yet so impudent are they to cry out unto us to this day of their lineall succession as a maine marke of their Apostolicall but indeed Apostaticall Church Pope Benedict the eighth also being he that was fore-mentioned that sold away his Popedome to Gregorie the sixth for a 1500. lb. was a most notorious fornicatour and adulterer and such an horrid Nigromancer and sorcerer that at last he was most hideously strangled to death by the devill himselfe as their owne Popish Historians testifie Pope John the thirteenth also was a most filthie and lustfull man and condemned of many grosse enormities especially for his Incontinencie being accused before the Emperour Otho the fourth in a Synod at Rome that he had committed incest with two of his owne Sisters that he had destored maidens turned his sacred palace forsooth into a stinking Stews that he had lyen with one Stephana his fathers Concubine and with the widow Reynera and with another widow called Anna and with his neece and at last he was stabbed to death by the husband of one that found him in the act of adulterie with his wife Pope Hildebrand also that brand of hell of whom we made mention before for his monstrous pride and insolencie was also a most notorious and filthy adulterer yet most stiffely and desperately forbad Priests marriage O most abhominable and monstrous hypocrite This devillish Beast was also a most wicked Nigromancer and Inchanter Honorius the 2d Pope of Rome sent into England one John of Crema Cardinall of S. Grison his Legate which Cardinall in a Councell by him held in London condemned all married Priests and the very night following he himselfe was taken to give you the very expression of my Historian with the theft in his hand was taken in bed with a wicked woman in the very act of adultery And was not here another egregious Romish hypocrite And Pope Innocent rather Nocent the eighth had eight sons and eight daughters yet never was married And might not they all most properly indeed say unto him O Papa O Father but most improperly and injuriously most holy Father And which was most extreme impudence in the Popes of Rome they most of them having many bastards both before and after they came to be Popes were so farre from being asham'd thereof that they let the world see how fatherlike care they had of them that they made some of them Kings Dukes Popes Cardinals Arch-bishops Queenes and Countesses and lifted them up to such like princely preferments And finally so horribly wicked was John Arch-bishop of Benevent and deane of the Apostolick-chamber for sooth and Nuncio to Pope Julius the 3d that he compiled a booke in commendation and praise of the abhominable sinne not fit to be once named which said booke was printed at Venice And doe not all these most odiously and infamously shew what a pure and chaste Spouse of Christ this Vicar forsooth of Christ and head of his Church this beastly Whore of Babylon is who thus frequently and filthily prostitutes soule and bodie both in her selfe and proselites to such more than belluine abhominations And is not here a deepe dyed colour even in graine of this most audacious brazen fac'd Strumpets Babylonish Beauty And yet though as the Lord bad the Prophet Ezekiel we have thus far digged into the wall and seen within thus many of Romes secret abhominations Yet I say I must desire the good Readers Christian patience and I shall as the Lord again and again bad the said holy Prophet goe yet farther into the Temple at Rome and shew you yet greater abhominations if it may be than all these before specified in now delivering and observing in the next place the most accursed and Atheisticall Blasphemies and other impieties of this most vicious Vicar forsooth of Christ of this spurious Successour of pious Peter and wherein we shall shew you how patly he followes the patterne and imitation of Christ and his Apostles in their pure Apostolicall vertues and graces And first I shall instance in that Pope John the 13th fore mentioned and branded as then with most blacke markes of infamie for his abhominable lust and incontinencie so now also againe with the hellish coale of diabolicall blasphemie For this Pope in playing at dice for no small summes of money ye may believe invocated the devill to get the games And in his cups would drinke healths to the devill as Luithprandus an ancient Historian testifies Pope Sylvester the 2d also from his youth gave himselfe extremely to Inchantments and Witch-craft and as Platina writes of him he contracted and covenanted with the devill in his youth to give him both his body and soul conditionally that he might by his means attain to great worldly pomp and dignities Which the devill accordingly performed for him being as the Scripture cals him the Prince of this world yet but by Gods permission and that only in the sons of disobedience who afterward ascending up to the Popes Chair and being by the devils assistance made Pope of Rome he had a Copper-head which he kept secret which alwayes gave him an answer of what from time to time hee demanded of the devill At last hee was desirous to know of the devill how long he should be Pope Who as his custome alwayes was even in the oracles at Delphos and els where doubtfully answering tould him he should not die untill he had said Masse in Ierusalem Hereat Pope Sylvester much rejoyced resolving and purposing with himselfe never to goe to the City of Jerusalem But it was a custome in Rome that on a certaine fixed day in Lent the Popes of Rome must say Masse in the Church of the holy-Crosse called also Jerusalem Where and when Sylvester being forgetfull of the devills deceipt celebrated Masse there and was instantly taken with a great burning fever The Pope then Sayes Petrus Premostratensis and Bennon two ancient writers Knowing by the roaring of the devills that his end was neare and being in extreme sorrowes besought those about him to cut off his hands and tongue giving them the reasons of his desire therein and so shortly after died See here then O blinde Roman Catholicks as ye like to be call'd and counted tell me can your holy father the Pope of Rome erre or not Where now was his pretended spirit of infallibilitie so inseperably inherent as ye most lyingly prate to the Papall Chaire And it is frequently reported and testified by their Historians that all the Popes from this Pope Sylvester the 2d to Gregorie the 7th a notorious villaine for his life and a great Inchanter which were 18 of them successively immediately one after another were notorious Inchanters and Nigromancers a sweet brood hatcht up

in St Maries Church in Mount Aventine in Rome Caused the said place to be marked and then procured a certain skilfull Mason or Stone-Cutter to Convey and place secretly certaine great Stones over the beams of the temple right over the Emperours praying-place that so they might fall from on high upon the head of the Emperour so praying and thus bruise him to peeces which villanie as the said Mason was busie to order and effect and endeavouring to place a stone of very great poyse weight over the said beame the Stone by reason of its unweildy-waight fell backward at the same time upon the Mason himselfe and both the Stone and Mason by Gods Iust judgement fell from the top to the store of the Church and crushed the Mason quite in pieces and thus Perrillus was first boyl'd in his owne Bull made by him at the tyrant Phalaris Command had the Pope himselfe been in the wretched Masons stead it had been right indeed but thus the Emperour escaped the Popes malice and mischiefe at that time And now in the next place I shall shew you the most accursed Cruelties and barbarous revenge-fullnesse of one Pope against another So desperately and devillishly were they addicted to wrath and revenge that Sergius the third being Pope was so furiously and even madly vindicative on Pope Formosus his predecessour for some affronts offered to the said Sergius in Formosus life time that Sergius when he was Pope caused Formosus his dead carkasse to be dig'd out of his grave having been buried about 8 years and having him forth made expressions that he would kill him were he alive but yet being thus dead he cut off the other three fingers on his right-hand Pope Stephen the sixth having most basely also before cut off the other two fingers on his said right-hand wherewith Priests use to consecrate in their Popish Masse and cast them into the river Tyber and so this Sergius I say cut-off the other three fingers left on the hand of that dead Pope and in detestable hatred cast them also into the said river Tiber. Pope Boniface the seventh also was such a cruell wretch that by money getting the Popedome from Pope John the 15th Boniface laid hold on his said Predecessour John cast him into prison pul'd out both his eyes and then and there famished and starv'd him to death And about the yeare of our Lord 1045. no lesse than six Popes successively one after another within the space of 13 yeares poysoned each other by themselves or their Agents and instruments to get the Popedome one from another viz. Clement 2. Damasus 2. Leo 9. Victor 2. Stephen 9. and Nicolas 2. And since I now speake of poyson I assure the Reader that searching and examining the lives and deaths of all the Popes of Rome I have found at least 26. or 27. of them that died by poyson and so others thereby succeeding them And as they dealt with blessed Bucer that godly and learned man in untombing him being dead and buried and burning his dead bodie as an heretick So dealt these Popes no lesse cruelly with one another for Pope Paschall the second out of wrath and most barbarous rage to Pope Clement the 3d caused the said Pope Clement the 3d his predecessours dead bodie to be digged up and burned at his command Yea and this fore-said malicious Paschall 2. was so devillishly cruell that he incited the Emperour Henrie the fifth against his own father Henrie the 4th at that time Emperour an onely son against his father who with cruell warre persecuted his said father by deceipt tooke him prisoner and suffered him to die a miserable death in prison and yet though the fathers death was thus procured and all by the said Pope Paschals meanes and procurements the Pope I say not satisfied with this inhumane rage and cruelty after the said Emperour Henrie the 4th was so dead and buried the Pope caused the Emperours dead corps to be taken out of his grave cast it out of the Church and denying it Christian buriall caused it to remain above ground unburied for the space of five years after I might here also tell you of the abominable cruelty of Pope Vrban O most notorious hypocrites in giving themselves such smooth and sugred names and yet be of so base and barbarous Natures who might fitlier have been called Pope Turban who was so full of cruelty rage and revenge that being Pope he caused 5 of his Cardinalls who had stifly opposed him from being made Pope to be shut up a live into five severall sacks and so cast into the Sea where they were all five drowned Yea and I might here also tell you of the bloody disposition of Pope Julius the 2d whom Pauls sword pleased better then Peters Keyes and so being a great warriour was within the space of 6 or 7 yeares the cause of the death of at least 200000 Christians slaine by the sword through his intolerable tyrannie and cruelty But what talke I of 200000 slaine within the space of 6 or 7 yeares when we now in our own most sad and sorrowfull dayes can speak of farr more beastlike cruelty in the Romish Sons of these rammish Harlots even almost 200000 poor Protestants massacred and murthered by them in lesse then a yeares witnesse yet poor bleeding if not dying Ireland I might goe on ad infinitum in these like examples of the devillish cruelty of these holy fathers themselves But now let us as briefely as may be descend to more modern times and see whither that of the prophet be not in this case too true Like Priests like People in the devillish disciples of such damned Doctors whither the Sons of these unholy fathers doe not most exquisitely even Passibus aequis patrizare imitate their flagicious fathers in any their most base and barbarous crueltyes and more than Turkish tyranny if not outstrip and transcend them To passe by the most unexpressible miseries and terrible tortures of the Spanish Inquisition that most Sanguineous and gorey slaughter-house of Gods precious Saints of all sorts ages and sexes and the infinite numbers murthered therein by most exquisite torments wherof Vergerius Confessed that in the space of 30 years at least an 150000 perished therin by most intolerable tortures under the hands of those horrid and hideously unholy Inquisitors To passe by also that most perfidious and bloody Massacre at Paris plotted and contrived by the King and Queene of France together with the acccursed Duke of Guise and their treacherous crew of Romish Blood-hounds wherein there perished at least 50000 innocent peacefull Protestants and that which was most diabolicall indeed therein all this under a pretext and colour of peace and piety and semingly confirmed with most deep protestations and vowes of King and Queen as 't is now a dayes but all most perjuriously and perfidiously broken in streames of blood
