Person For if that be true where are then his Vows which he said were in Heaven his Letters and Promise upon Earth Why hath he stollen out of the Popes shop so large an Indulgence and plenary Remission of all his Sins and meant to perform nothing that he promised Why was his Devotion and Zeal so highly commended Why was he so specially prayed for and remembred at the Altar All these great favours were then bestowed upon him without cause or desert for he deceived the Pope he deceived the Cardinals and Jesuites with a false semblance and pretence to do that thing which he never meant But the matter is clear the Conspiracy and his traiterous intent is too plain and evident it is the Lord that revealed it in time and prevented their malice there lacked no will or readiness in him to execute that horrible fact It is the Lord that hath preserved her Majesty from all the wicked Practices and Conspiracies of that Hellish Rabble it is he that hath most gratiously deliver'd her from the hands of this Traiterous miscreant The Lord is her onely defence in whom she hath always trusted A Prayer for all Kings Princes Countries and People which do profess the Gospel and especially for our Soveraign Lady Queen Elizabeth used in Her Majesties Chappel and meet to be used of all persons within Her Majesties Dominions O Lord God of hosts most loving and merciful Father whose power no creature is able to resist who of thy great goodness hast promised to grant the petitions of such as ask in thy Sons Name We most humbly beséech thee to save and defend all Princes Magistrates Kingdoms Countries and People which have received and no profess thy holy Word and Gospel and namely this Realm of England and thy servant Elizabeth our Queen whom thou hast hitherto wonderfully preserved from manifold Perils and sundry Dangers and of late revealed and ftustrated the Trafterous Practices and Conspiracies of divers against her for the which and all other thy great goodness towards us we give thee most humble and hearty thanks beseeching thee in the Name of thy dear Son Iesus Christ and for his sake still to preserve and continue her unto us and to give her long life and many years to rule over this Land O Heavenly Father the practices of our Enemies and the Enemies of thy word and truth against her and us are manifest and known unto thee Turn them O Lord if it be thy blessed Will or overthrow and confound them for thy Names sake Suffer them not to prevail Take them O Lord in their crafty Wittness that they have invented and let them fall into the Pit which they have digged for others Permit them not ungodly to triumph over us Discomfort them discomfort them O Lord which trust in their own multitude and please themselves in their subtile devices and wicked Conspiracies O loving Father we have not deserved the least of these the Mercies which we crave For we have sinned and grievously offended thee we are not worthy to be called thy Sons We have not been so thankful unto thee as we should for thy unspeakable benefits powred upon us We have abused this long time of Peace and Prosperity We have not obeyed thy Word We have had it in Mouth but not in heart in outward appearance but not in deed We have lived carelesly We have not known the time of our visitation we have deserved utter destruction But thou O Lord art merciful and ready to forgive therefore we come to thy Throne of Grace confessing and acknowledging thee to be our only refuge in all times of peril and danger And by the means of thy Son we most heartily pray thee to forgive us our Vnthankfulness Disobedience Hypocrisie and all other our Sins to turn from us thy heavy wrath and displeasure which we have justly deserved and to turn our hearts truly unto thee that daily we may increase in all goodness and continually more and more fear thy holy Name So shall we glorifie thy Name and sing unto thee in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs And thy enemies and ours shall know themselves to be but men and not able by any means to withstand thee nor to hurt those whom thou hast received into thy protection and defence Grant these things O Lord of Power and Father of Mercy for thy Christ's sake to whom with thee and thy Holy Spirit be all Honour and Glory for ever and ever Amen A Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Queen used of all Knights and Burgesses in the High Court

tender Mercies from time to time saved and defended the Servant ELIZABETH our most gracious Quéen not only from the hands of strange Children but also of late revealed and made frustrate his bloody and most barbarous Treason who being her natural Subject most unnaturally violating thy Divine Ordinance hath secretly sought to shed her blood to the great disquiet of thy Church and utter discomfort of our Souls his snare is heaven in pieces but upon thy Servant doth the Crown flourish The wicked and bloodthirsty men think to devour Iacob and to lay waste his dwelling-place But thou O God which rulest in Iacob and unto the ends of the world dost daily teach us still to trust in thée for all thy great Mercies and not to forget thy merciful Kindness shewed to her that feareth thy Name O Lord we confess to thy Glory and Praise that thou only hast saved us from destruction because thou hast not given her over for a prey to the wicked Her Soul is delivered and we are escaped Hear us now we pray thee O most merciful Father and continue forth thy loving Kindness towards thy Servant and evermore to the Glory and our Comfort kéep her in health with long Life and Prosperity whose rest and only refuge is in thée O God of her Salvation Preserve her as thou art wont preserve her from the snare of the Enemy from the gathering together of the froward from the insurrection of wicked Doers

A true and plain DECLARATION OF THE Horrible Treasons PRACTISED By WILLIAM PARRY Dr. of the Civil Law BEING A PAPIST AGAINST Queen Elizabeth of blessed memory Because She was a PROTESTANT And of his Tryal Conviction and Execution for the same Being a full Account of his Design to have Murthered the said Queen with the Copy of a Letter written to him by Cardinal Como by the Popes order to incourage him to kill the Queen And of his Confession of his Treason both to the Lords of the Council and at his Tryal upon his Indictment in Westminster-hall Together with his Denyal thereof at the place of Execution and his manner of Behaviour there Written in the Year 1584. Audax omnia perpeti Gens Romana ruit per vetitum nefas Published to shew how little credit is to be given to the last and dying words of the Romanists LONDON Printed for William Crook and Charles Harper at the Green Dragon without Temple-Bar and at the Flower-de-luce over against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleetstreet 1679. THE PREFACE TO THE READER READER THE Papists those restless Enemies of the Protestant Religion are not more infamous for the unsoundness of their Doctrines than for the greatness of their Treasons where they cannot convince they labour to destroy and rather than not subdue what they call but cannot prove a pestilent Heresie they will massacre the whole Protestant Party and will pull down a flourishing State to build a corrupt Church Their Subjection to the Pope is in consistent with their Allegiance to the Prince and if they are true Roman Catholicks they cannot be good English Subjects For when they are designed by the Church to be made Saints they never afterwards by the Law can be made Rebels And therefore when God is pleased by discovering their Designs to expose them to Justice there is not a man of them that is guilty but as innocent as the Child unborn For unless their attempts succeed and declare to all the World their actual Treason in despight of all other proofs they will brag of their constant Loyalty Willing enough they are to reap the fruits of Rebellion but take care if the case be hazardous to avoid the Scandal And therefore sometimes they stand behind the Curtain while they spur on others more adventrous though no more wicked to execute their Counsels and by exposing them secure themselves from the Censure and the Punishment To be sure when they have Power they never want Cruelty The Turks and the Pagans have been out-done by their greater Persecutions The Stakes and the Pagots and the Fire bear witness against them And when they have no strength we know they want not malice but labour by Treachery to undermine when by Power they cannot subdue His Majesty and our Religion have been brought into great danger by their secret Plots and Conspiracies The unhappy Quarrels and Dissentions amongst our selves are Tares of their sowing But if they want might or subtilty of their own before they will desist they will crave assistance from abroad Foreign Powers shall be ingag'd to weaken us and rather than Popery should be kept out they will truck for an Invasion Indeed there is no Age no place but gives us too sad Examples of their Villanies either Acted or Contrived Nor is it strange when men call Evil Good that they run into all excess of wickedness With them 't is lawful to tread upon the Royal Diadem to advance the Triple Crown and meritorious to kill the Lords Anointed who is really Gods Vicegerent for the Interest of the Man of Sin who falsly calls himself Christs Vicar Hence it is that these fiery Zealots so often ingage to Assassinate Soveraign Princes and imbroyl Peaceable Kingdoms The proofs hereof are too plain and one would think needless but that the impudence of our Adversaries that teaches them to deny the plainest Evidence will not suffer them to confess the most apparent Crimes Wonder not Good Reader at this their boldness For 't is the old Roman-Catholick usage under a deep guilt to protest an unspotted Innocence and then chiefly to declare that it is not lawful to depose or murther the King when they are not able or want an opportunity The truth is 't is no new thing for them when they have done or intended evil to wipe their mouths and say they have done or intended nothing Tresham one of the Gunpowder Traytors in King James his time when he came to die denied what Garnet the Provincial proved against him and what he himself had formerly confessed And Garnet denied upon his Salvation with horrid imprecations what Father Oldcorn alias Hall proved against him and at his Execution he said he was sorry for dissembling with the Lords of the Council but excus'd it by affirming he did not think they had such proofs against him These things are evident and appear by the Printed Tryals of those Traytors Here I present thee with a true and faithful account of William Parry's Treason against Queen Elizabeth and of his behaviour after his Apprehension upon his Arraignment and at his Execution written in the Year of our Lord 1584. Sir Richard Baker in his History of England p. 366. gives us a short Essay of all the remarkable passages thereof which in this Treatise are more particularly and at large set forth being done by an exact hand immediately after Parry's Execution Peruse it and thou wilt find that the Pope and the Cardinal like Simeon and Levi have joyned hand in hand in wickedness endeavouring by hook or by crook to bring Popery into England And that confederation with Foreign Powers hath heretofore been entred into to root out Protestant Religion Popish Forces uniting to cut off us poor Hereticks And that 't is commendable to destroy the Prince and overthrow the Government to make way for the Popes Supremacy and the Churches Vsurpation Nay that 't is part of the Religion of Rome to commit Treason the greatest Monsters of Mankind being the chiefest Darlings of that Church And that the Laity aswell as the Clergy may be influenc'd so far by the power of wicked Principles as to Espouse the interest of the Church to the loss of their Allegiance Read on and thou wilt likewise find that the Papists formerly have had brows of Brass as well as wanted bowels of Compassion and have been as unwilling to confess Treason as forward to commit it And that the Papist after he hath acknowledg'd his guilt can deny his Confession and impudently contradict what himself hath freely owned For should he suffex as an evil doer he might forfeit the title of his Martyrdom And that 't is no new thing for a Papist to tell a lye with his dying breath Rather than a true Roman Confessor will be foiled his last words shall be the falsest For they that are nurst at Rome are educated at Crete and are as infamus for their Lies as their Blood-shed Let the Church of Rome
