have but folly enough to believe all before said we may believe this into the bargain but believe it for all this because that Vespasianus and Titus were admirers of those Pillars for the sanctity that was in them and certainly did intend them to be for Reliques and may be as precious as the Virgin Mary's Chamber-pot which the Fryars of the Order of Augustine at Burgos are said to have and keep it as a very precious Relique but if they have the Chamber-pot I wonder who had her Close-stool Upon the said high Altar there stand the heads of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul and whensoever those are shewed to the people Peter's head Paul's head there are so many Indulgences and Pardons granted as there are when the Napkin of the Lord is shewed at St. Peters Church Quaery Who granted these Pardons Not Christ I am sure at either or both the shows but here the Church of Rome shews her self to be like her Father the Devil that was a lyar from the beginning The Fryars of Augustine's Order in Bilbao say they have a great piece of St. Peter's skull and the Franciscans of St. Pauls In this Church also is the head of St. Pancras out of which head Pancras head when this Church was set on fire by a sort of Hereticks issued and followed out great plenty of blood by the space of three days and three nights This Head with divers other Reliques is shewed on Easter-day after dinner That this is a bloody lye a weak eye may perceive It 's a wonder they did not save some of that blood to shew amongst the rest of the Reliques Under the high Altar of the aforesaid Church Oratory is that Oratory of St. John the Evangelist where he prayed when he went in and out and was prisoner at Rome This is said also to be at Genoua now and also at Rome and several pieces at St. Diego in Spain Item In a certain Tabernacle which is upon the Altar of Mary Magdalen these Reliques are hid that follow 1. Diadem THE Imperial Diadem wherewith St. Sylvester the Pope was crowned by Constantine the Emperor Whether or no that ever Sylvester the Pope wore an Imperial Diadem I will not in this Book contend but the Diadem the Popes after him challeng'd hath been a vexation to many good Princes 2. The head of St. Zachary the Priest Father to St. John Baptist Zachary dyed in Palestina 2000 miles from Rome and how should his head be shown at Rome so many hundred years after for it was some hundreds of years after Zachary's death before the Church of Rome was so filthy as to invent such lyes 3. Divers Reliques of St. Mary Magdalen Which are called as he that shews them pleaseth 4. Shoulder-plate The shoulder-plate of St. Lawrence Martyr It is a wonder if they which roasted him did not burn his bones and the wonder is greater because that his Ashes and Urn were presented to the Cathedral Church at Sevill in Spain 5. A Tooth One of the teeth of St. Peter the Apostle 6. Cup. The cup wherein St. John drank the poyson and yet it did not hurt him How could that be known so many hundred years after seeing that no less than four Churches in Rome pretend to have this cup to the certain knowledg of the Publisher 7. Chain The chain wherewith St. John the Evangelist was bound when he was led from Ephesus to Rome How is it possible that the chain should be perceived or known to be the same if it lasted so long 600 years yea all the people being dead and neither Pagan Rome nor Christian Rome had got the art of shewing those tricks till Rome grew Antichristian 8. Petticoat The Petticoat of St. John the Evangelist rather of Pope Joan which was laid upon the three dead men and they straightway rose up from death to life That St. John should wear Petticoats is strange but that this Petticoat should last 800 years is more strange but that any body should be such Fanaticks as to believe this is to be admired 9. Ashes Coat Part of St. John Baptists Ashes and his Coat made of hair which he did wear in the Wilderness There could be no Ashes of his for he was not burnt but his body buried by his Disciples Mat. 14.12 And that he had a Coat is uncertain but that his Coat should be shown six or seven hundred years after is incredible and it 's a wonder they had not the confidence to show the Taylor that made it 10. Milk Part of our Ladies Milk Hair and Garments Good Reader observe this Tale well and compute the time when the Virgin Mary gave Milk and the time when the World were such fools to believe and you will find it about 800 year and that a Womans Milk should last till this year 1679 is incredible Item Shirt The Shirt which the Virgin Mary made with her own hands for Christ which Shirt is of such virtue that Devils themselves are driven out by whole Legions of persons possessed if you will believe this abominable Harlot and Impostor of Rome But I pray then how are Jesuits in the East-Indies possessors of this Shirt if it be at Rome Item Towel The Towel or Linnen-Cloth wherewith Christ wiped his Apostles feet This is another lye for the Publisher hath seen as many pieces of this Towel as will fill an ordinary bag and half a yard at least was shewed him at St. Barlines Abby in St. Omers and yet Rome challengeth the whole Towel Item The Reed wherewith Christ was stricken Reed And the hand that struck him I hope the one is as true as the other and may prove as good a Relique It seems that the Reed as the Papists say is of such efficacy and force that several persons have been delivered from great pains of body that have kissed the same The Spanish Jesuits at Madrid having also the said Reed say so therefore it must needs be true Item Garment The Garment of Purple which was dyed with the drops of blood from Christ This is an unworthy and filthy lye for there are so many pieces of this Garment said to be in Spain Portugal Flanders France and Germany There is scarce a Conventicle in all these places but challenge a good piece of this Garment as is able to make Ten such Garments as Christ wore when mocked by the Jews Item The Vail of the blessed Virgin Mary Vail which she put about the privy-Members of Christ when he hanged on the Cross This Veil is seen in a dozen places and works wonderful things in Spain for in one day it begot such a devotion in the people of Vallidolyd that the Franciscan-Fryars got above a Thousand pieces of Eight besides Gold for the sight thereof Item The Napkin which was laid upon Christs face Napkin The Jesuits at St. Omers have a good piece
