Deputy of Ireland And the yeelding of the Spaniards to his Lordship WOnder to men worlds glorie mightie Lord Earths monarch Prince of thrones powers all Peerlesse for praise famous in factes and deedes Guider of Angels aide of mortall men Whose little finger swayes both sea and lande And turnes the globe of heauen with his hand To gloomie earth all darke and voide of forme His blessed breath did giue a happie shape His onely word made Sunne the Moone and Starres And at his will beasts fish and foule tooke life Nothing there was or is or that shall bee But his strong hand doth guide and rule wee see When Lucifer great Prince of hell had falne And mad in malice wrought mans ouerthrow Iehouas hand the instrument did frame To vanquish Sathan through the womans seed Sweet Christ Christ Iesus was the onely meane That bruis'd his head his heele and kingdome cleane Great was the iudgement this immortall God Vnto the first age for their sinnes did shewe Most fearefull floods from heauen windowes fell That fifteene cubits mounted bouethe earth All drowned were from death not one could part But eight which were inclosed in the Arke VVhen Amrophell Aroch and Tydall kings VVith Chedor Laomer king of Elam too Made bloodie warre gainst Bera Sodom king And other Peeres that rulde Gomorah then In that same valley which men Siddim call King Bera and his Peeres were vanquisht all These fierce inuaders hauing conquest got In triumph beares the spoile and prey away But loe beholde the Lord did raise vp strength Old Abraham who with three hundred men Fought with these kings and made them fly amaine And so brought backe their wiues and goods againe VVhen cursed Pharaoh would not giue consent The Israelites from Egypt should depart Though God by Moyses mightie wonders wrought To cause him yeeld and giue them leaue to passe Yet stubbornly proud Pharaoh would assay To crosse Gods will and bring them to decay But loe beholde when Israels hope was gone And sawe no meane to scape or life to saue And bloudie Pharaoh bent to take reuenge Then would the Lord make knowne he was a God At his commaund the sea was made dry land To saue his people from inuaders hand But bloudie Pharaoh would not yet relent Although he saw a miracle so strange But boldly ventred with his horse and foote Supposing that that way was made for him But when in midst thereof his forces came The seas made way and fiercely on them ranne When Korah Dathan and bolde Abiram Rigdvp the furrowes of rebelling harts And had two hundred fiftie captaines stout To ioyne with them gainst Moyses Gods chiefe friend Loe what insued God hating rebels all The ground doth open they therein doe fall When Arad Syhon Og three mightie Kings Opposde themselues gainst Moyses in like case And ramd their gates and shut vp all the waies And with fierce fight the Israelites did charge Yet God who alwaies for his people stands In battaile gaue these Kings to Moyses hands When Eui Reken Zur Hur and Reba Fiue potent Kings of Medianits they were Attempting boldly Phinehas to charge And rankt their forces gainst the Lords elect But God that neuer failes to aide the right Gaue these fiue Kings to him in the same fight When Moyses had nigh space of fortie yeares Through wildernesse hils dales and mountaines wide Gods people guided towards Canaan land Moyses departed Ioshua tooke the charge And first of all his valour for to show He gaue attempt to stately Ierycho But what the Lord appoints must needes be done For whome God fights they sure are to preuaile Mans arme and strength is but too weake a stay Small is the meanes by which God winnes the field The voice of trumpets shouting therewithall Made stony walles and yron gates to fall When great Goliah prest to plague Gods Church VVhose height a cubit fully did containe Of brasse his helmet cunningly was made His brigandine fiue thousand shickels weigh'd His speare and shield were all of pure brasse His speare in bignes VVeauers beames did passe Then high Iehouah little Dauid brought All naked in compare of his strong foe Who in the sight of all the standers by Into his forehead sent so sound a stroke As downe the monster fell vpon the earth And Dauid there depriu'd him of his breath Far more then these Gods register doth yeeld That shews his loue and aid to mortall men That hath regard vnto his lawes and heast And for his right will wrastle with the proud For God regards ne horse nor speare nor shield For without meanes he makes the stout to yeeld Most wicked then are Irish rebels breed VVhose lawlesse liues weaues on their web of woe VVhose wicked facts Moab and Ammon passe Farre worse then heathen Pagans of the earth The onely monsters that the world containes And cursed crue whome all good men refraines Rebels to God despisers of his lawes Traitors to Christ depriuers of his right Refusing still the gifts of holie Ghost Breakers of peace reiecters of the truth Contemners of Gods word and holy writ That guides mens liues the perfect path to hit Rebels to Prince rebels to natiue home Traitors to Prince traitors to countries due Supplanters of all rule and gouernment Infringing lawes the waste of Common-weale The brood of wolues the elder sonnes of Cain The impes of hell and very markes of shame Champions of hell borne with bloodie hand Haters of truth sworne slaues to rape and spoyle Authors of mischiefe all on murther set Masking with faces like strong plates of brasse Furies of hell shaking their dog-eard locks Like damned slaues sprung from most cursed stocks Breakers of wedlocke wantons in their liues Most bred vp bastards from their very birth Louers of theft liuing by theeuing trade Idle in life like beasts fed in the stall False lying mates deceitfull and vniust Whom God nor man nor diuell cannot trust Idolators superstitious men False worshippers sworne slaues vnto the Pope Trusting to dreames and fained prophecies Obseruers of old writs that haue no ground More ignorant then beasts are in their kinde Willing to lose what chiefe they ought to finde Open mainitainers of all runnagates As peeuish priests and filthie begging Friers Sold Seminaries to the Romish Church False traitors to their soueraigne Prince and Queene Vilde lothsome locusts crawld from yond the seas Whose stinking breaths ingenders sore disease That this is true view Irelands present state Which whilome sate in faire and rich attire Which whilome flow'd in plentie of the earth But now growne naked feeble weake and bare Who lately held sweete peace both neere and farre But now in euery place at deadly iarre View now their houses wasted as they

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
