A TRVE AND perfecte description of a straunge Monstar borne in the Citty of Rome in Italy in the yeare of our saluation 1585. Vnder which is described both the originall and triumphant state of the Holy League and also the sodain and desperate fall thereof in the yeare 1588. With certaine verses exhortatory to the King of Spayn that hee would withdraw his persecuting hand from the Church of Christ Wherein are also shewed some of the cruelties exercised vppon our countrey-men and others in the Inquisition and Gallies of Spaine LONDON Printed by Iohn Wolfe for Walter Dight and are to be sold by William Wright 1590. To the courteous Reader THough moste men may vnderstand my purpose in the description of this monster without farther declaration yet the Printer doubting least it might seeme obscure to some not well acquainted heretofore with the occasions and beginnings of these preset troubles in christendom at his request I thought good to aduertise thus much First that the name of the Pope that now last tyrānized was Sixtus Quintus or Sixtus the fift of that name who being by his seat Antichrist as other Popes his Predecessors were before him and by his sex a man yet I tearme him by the name of strumpet This prophecy was litterally fulfilled in the time of Pope Ioane that was a woman and anotable harlot harlot c. as the beloued disciple of our Sauiour doth in the Apocalips call that man of Sinne and agreable to that Scripture I bring the diuell in their conference calling him the Queen of new Babilon the place of his residence This Pope to shew himselfe a most cruel ennemy to humane race as most his predecessors haue been though few in so high degree being no sooner seated in his bloudy seat he straight beates his braines how to set al christendome together by the eares partly through the pleasure he taketh in shedding innocēt bloud partly to set himselfe the surer in his Antichristian chaire now almost rotten and wholly to extinguish and roote out the glorious and moste comfortable Gospell of our Sauiour with all the professors thereof that hee might so bring it to passe that their might be no memorie remaining of the one nor the other And because the diuell is alwaies ready at our elbowe to pricke vs forward as soone as we haue conceiued any euill in our harts and so much the readier by how much the conceiued mischief is the greater So no doubt this Pope whose conceit being against Christ his members I accōpt the chiefest of al sins what so euer had no sooner laid the plot of his vnspeable mischief in his hart but the diuil was as diligēt to vrge him to put it in as spedy practise And therefore Isay this monster or bloudy league to be begotten of the diuel vpō the forenamed whor of Rome as who so loketh wel into the nature of the said Holy league must needes say with mee that Hel it self was of coūsail to the establishing thereof I tearme it vntimely birth in respect of the strumpets eagernes in bringing it forth for she brought forth her mishapen creature after her comming to the Popedome in halfe the time that women commonly vse to go with child euen within the compas of four moneths yet the bug shewed not himselfe in his iollity till the year 88. the cause wherof liudge to be a certain prophesy inuented amongst the Papists that in the saide yeare of 88. there should be but one king one pastor and one flocke the interpretation whereof they apply the King to be Phillip of Spayn the pastor to be the Pope and the flocke to be al people and nations of our Europe which in that year should all be thrall and slaues to that king pastor Yet note by the way friendly Reader that this great pastor that wold haue so great a flock or rather the fleece and fel of them that now vanteth to excell all kings as much as the Sunne excelleth the Moone was of late a begging gray fryer The Franciseā Friers when they begge at the dore they aske it for and in the name of Saint Francis himselfe going frō dore to dore with a wallet on his backe begging bread for S. Frauncis but that begging estate he hath as clean forgotten now as though his feete now cladde with purple veluet shoes had neuer gone bare foote The king of Spayn so inriched by his west India Mines his reuenews so increased through his late vsurping of Portingall and thereby also the east India being the chief piller of the Popedome and without whom it could neuer haue stoode so long I place him for the monsters right arme in whome the Pope puts all his confidence they two hang together as the pennard and inckhorne the Pope giues the king many buls which yeelds great profite to his coffers therefore the king is his chāpion and generall in al his battails yet note those fat buls come not out of the Popes medowes he giues him but a pig of his owne sow the Popes gift is but yearly a sheete of paper but all the profite that comes to the king comes from his subiects purses and so drunken is this king becom with the winelees of this harlots goldē cup that he cannot discern it The late duke of Guise sometime in respect of his bloudy mind the fittest man in our Europe to haue a principall place amongst the Popes own children he being cōmonly cald the Popes butcher is plaste as the monsters left arm which arme a long time was greatly feared of al men til it pleased the Lord to sett his church free from so cruel a scourge I describe the monstar first as he was in his greatest pride but after according to his present picture I describe him as he lately was I doubt not but the rest may be well vnderstoode Farewell He that wisheth speedy conuertion or hasty confusion to the Monster I. L. The description of the Monster POpe Sixtus one of the most shamlesse strumpets of all her whoorish predecessors beginning her raigne in the yeare of our saluation 1585 and séeing her dignitie and reuenewes so farre inferiour to most Popes in time past In times past the Popes had great fees out of all kingdomes in Europe and this franticke Sixtus had nothing but out of Spaine Italy and partes of Germany thē woonder not that he fa●ed like one stark madde beganne to growe so malancholie that shee wanted little frō falling into an incurable frenzie straight she sets all her wits abroach laying sundry plots for the repayring of the decayed dignitie of the sometime flourishing chayre The Diuell a diligent attendant on any sexe possessed with like cogitation appeared vnto her in shape fittest to please the humour of so common a curtizan and saluting her farre vnlike the churlish courtesie of his infernall Countrey he gins reuiue her out of the dumpe with these friendly spéeches How now braue Ladie
