but only to give a short Catalogue of the Chiefe Actors in them leaving the rest to Historians who have reported them to the World I know it goes for current that the Papists of England were quiet enough for the first 11. yeeres of Queen Elizabeth before any Lawes were made against them And indeed in comparison of after times this may be in part admitted to be true Howbeit in those first yeeres many of them went over Sea and there laid the foundation of future mischiefes here There were others at home that held strict intelligence with those abroad doing that more secretly which afterwards was more openly pursued and avowed It is true that while Paul the Fourth and Pius the Fourth sate Popes their unwillingnesse to make disturbance here held our Papists in more quiet Yet when Pius 4. dispatched a Nuncio to Queene Elizabeth Paul 4. was Pope when Q. Elâ—z came to the Crown Pius 4. succeeded next and sate tâ—ll the Seventh of her Reigne Continuat of Martins history at the yeere 1561. out of Cambden their friend with a kinde message as he took it his Nuncio could not be admitted to enter England because so many bred up to the Popish Religion laboured to make troubles both at home and abroad And this happened about the Fourth of her Reigne And if you doe but remember from Whom the Guises then procured the French King to claime the English Diademe and sollicited the Pope to excommunicate the Queen as did the Count of Foria at Rome in behalf of his Master the Catholike King about the same time and that divers English Papists had applied themselves to those Princes to assist in reducing the Romish Religion here You will finde they had no great cause to boast of their loyaltie Especially if you consider that Arthur Pole and his Brethren had no small party among the Papists here at home to assist in that horrible Treason against his Sovereigne for which hee and others were after arraigned and condemned But when Pius the Fifth the next Pope mounted the Chaire our Romanists began to be more active and bold For when once his turbulent disposition was knowne the Popish Party by the helpe of Cardinal Alan first obtained a Colledge for English Seminary Priests at Doway Anno. 1568. which indeed proved the seminary of all the Treasons and Rebellions which after followed That Colledge was after multiplied into two one at Rhemes set up by the Guises the other at Rome erected by Gregory 13. Anno 1580. after Requesenius Governour of the Low Countries under the King of Spaine had thrust them out of their first Nest at Doway And from these places were they upon all occasions sent hither to poyson the Subjects with Principles of Treason which every yeere produced much trouble and danger No sooner were they warme in their first Cells at Doway but Pius 5. Excommunicated Q. Elizab. at Rome absolving all her subjects and cursing all that should longer obey her An 1569. After which exploit he sent over his Bull Declaratory thereof by Morton an English fugitive who bringing it to Ridolf a Florentine divers Copies of it were first secretly scattered among our Papists and then the Breve it selfe fixed on the Gate of London-House By which time the Priests and other active Factors for Babylon had wrought farre upon sundry Nobles and Gentlemen of great place whom they either found or could make discontented with the present Religion Government or State of things or whom they discerned to bee ambitiously affected or most apt for intelligence with forraign Princes that either maligned our Religion envied our Prosperitie or cunningly endeavored to possesse themselves of this Crowne which have been the destruction of many a Noble Spirit and the ruine of many Ancient Families of this Kingdome Among the many Examples of this kind may be reckoned up the Rebellion of the unhappy Earles of Northumberland and Westmerland and sundry other their Complices as the first poysoned fruit of the Popes Bull in the same yeere wherein it was heer scattered among the Papists And from the said cursed fountaine issued all those bitter streames of Treasons of Stukely in Ireland at the same time of the Stanlies in Darbyshire of Iohn Trogmorton and Brooke of Sanders and Bristow of the Nortons Barne and Mather of Doctor Story the persecuting Civilian of Shirwin Parsons Campian and Kirby and many other Priests and Jesuites to the number of above 120. of Somervile and his adherents of Mayne Nelson Tompson and the rest of that Crue of Payne and his 50.

ANOTHER SERMON Preached to the Honorable House of Commons now assembled in PARLIAMENT November the fifth 1641. By CORNELIUS BURGES D. D. Wherein among other things are shewed A List of some of the Popish Traytors in England That their Treasons were not occasioned by our Laws but from Principles of their owne Religion That their Priests are bound to infuse sucâ— Principles into them The courses taken by their Preists and Iesuites to animate them unto Treasons An Experimentall Prognostication Published by Order of the House of Commons LONDON Printed by R. B. for P. Stephens and C. Meridith at the Gilded Lion and at the Craine in S. Pauls Church-Yard 1641. To the Honourable House of Commons now assembled in PARLIAMENT WHen first I understood that You had designed only my selfe to preach unto You at that Great and happy Solemnity upon the Fifth of November last I inlarged my Provision because there was no other to second me in that Service But when I came to set before You what the Lord had brought to my hand The Tumults in Ireland I found You so over laid with businesse of such high importance as would hardly permit You to hear any sermon at all This constrained me to contract the two first Parts of my Sermon and wholly to suppresse the third except the last branch of the last Vse which I found meanes to affix to my second Point It was far from my thoughts and above my hopes that such a mangled Peice should gaine such Acceptance with You as to be held worthy of Your Thankes or of Publique View But seeing Your pleasure is to Order the Publishing it I obey Only I have now added the remainder of that Provision with which I could not at first present You by reason of those Indispensable Occasions then pressing on You. The Lord of Heaven direct all Your ways make them plaine before You prosper You in them and hold all Your hearts firme to Himselfe and in Vnity among Your selves set You more effectually upon and carry You more strongly through that most necessary and of all other most Important Work even the Perfecting of the Reformation of this Church by the assistance of a free Nationall Synod if Your wisdomes should so thinke meet for the further securing of our Religion from Corruption in Doctrine from Pollution in Worship from superstition in Ceremonies from Exorbitancy and Tyranny in Ecclesiasticall Government and Discipline and from Anarchy and Confusion under a false guise of Christian Liberty which is farre worse than Tyranny Hee also make You all more zealous to settle a Ministery worthy of the Glorious Gospell of Christ in every Congregation and a sufficient maintainance for all faithfull Labourers therein He raise You higher and higher in honour with God and Man and carry You stil in his Bosome till hee hath brought You to Glory All of which is and shall be the incessant prayer of Your most humble servant C. BURGES PSAL. 76.10 Surely the rage of man shall praise thee the rest of the rage shalt thou restraine THis Text and this day doe well agree Introduction shewing I. The fitnesse Never did day more exactly demonstrate the truth of this Text. Never did Text more fully set forth the Workes of this Day whether we regard the rage of man or the Power of God in over-ruling thereof to his own Praise and our preservation This is that day wherein the most prodigious rage of man that ever the Sun beheld or that Hell it selfe boyled up to an height justly execrable to all the world was ready to break forth out of the nethermost Pit against our Late King Queene the Royall Seed the Parliament Church Kingdome this Place our selves and all ours all at once And this is that day wherein our God came riding to us in his Chariot of Triumph and made himselfe fearfull in prayses by doing wonders and leaving us no more to doe but to praise his Name and lengthening out our happinesse joyfully to celebrate this Publike Anniversarie of that stupendious Deliverance So that II. The occasion while Interpreters contend and sweat about the speciall occasion of this Gratulatory Song whether penned as a Lasting Trophee of the many Victories atchieved by David over the Philistines Moabites Syrians and others 2 Sam. 8. or of the discomfiture of that formidable Army of the Ethiopians in the dayes of Asa 2 Chr. 20. Or of the selfe-destroying of that huge Host of the children of Ammon Moab and mount Seir in the reign of Jehoshaphat 2 Ch. 20. Or rather which is more probable as a Pillar of Gratitude in the time of Hezekiah for the wonderfull defeat of those numberlesse Forces of blasphemous Sennacherib nigh to Ierusalem where an Angel went forth and in one night and slew 185000. men in the campe of the Assyrians King 19. Sure we are Introduction that none of all those Great Acts of the Lord ever administred greater occasion to advance a Publike Thanksgiving beyond the faint and dull straine of Prose to the spritefull courage of a Verse by the gratefull violence of a Poetick Rapture truly divine than that admirable and even ineffable over powering of the matchlesse fury of those Romish Pioneers imployed in that Master-peece of Hellish Invention the Gun-powder Treason affords unto us and all Posterity of greatest exilience and of utmost industry to make His Praise glorious who justly inhabiteth the praises of Israel and is in himselfe exalted above all blessing and Praise For on this Day if ever and even here also if any where brake He the arrows of the bow the shield the sword and battell whereby he is become more glorious and excellent than the mountaines of prey Here the stout-hearted are spoiled they have stept their sleep and none of the men of might * In that great slaughter in the host of Sennacherib the Leaders Captaines and mighty men of Valour were all cut off 2 Chron. 32.21 have found their hands At thy rebuke O God of Jacob both the Chariot and the horse are cast into a dead sleep Thou didst cause judgement to be heard from heaven the earth feared and was still when God arose to judgement to save all the meek of the earth Therefore wee even wee also will for ever say and sing to thy Name as thy people of old Surely the rage of man shall praise thee the rest of the rage shalt thou restraine III. The Summe Which words Janus like have a double Aspect For they looke not only backwards as a Thankfull Remembrance of what God hath already done but also forwards as a Prophetick Resolution and well grounded Conclusion of Faith touching the constant ordering and curbing the rage of all his and our enemies so as to get himselfe glory out of all to the end of the world IV.

They have never rested from plotting of Treason since the Reformation 1. They have never been quiet but alwayes hammering and contriving or solliciting and driving on desperate Plotts and conspiracies to destroy their Sovereigne to abolish Religion to subvert the Lawes and to expose the Kingdoms to a prey of any forreigne Enemie that would lend them either aide or countenance ever since the happy Reformation of Religion in the glorious Reigne of Queen Elizabeth unto this very day It is not my purpose nor will it suit with the short limits of a Sermon to make a relation of the Treasons themselves
