[Counting it ?] And shed the Blood of those, that dare deny Their Superstitious gross Idolatry: No Tongue, or Pen, is able to express The height of their Revengeful Wickedness . Let us consider with our selves, I pray, What kind of Zealous, Pious Men are they, Who can Resolve, and freely Undertake, To Murther PRINCES for Religions sake! Are they not Scarlet Saints, that would Reform, And Regulate [the Church] tho' with a Storm Of Sword and Fire; such like Cruelties? Sure this can be no pleasing Sacrifice To GOD, the great Creator of Mankind; And therefore all our daring Foes shall find, That He will still his Righteous Church defend; And bring the Traytors to a shameful end: Some we have seen, and read of many more, That suffer'd for their Treasons, long before The Powder-Plot, when Brittains Maiden Queen Was in her Royal Splendid Glory seen; Elizabeth of Blessed Memory; But Rome beheld her with an envious eye; Striving, by Treasons, daily to destroy Her Majesty, the Church, and Kingdoms Joy. [A] Priest from Spain was sent to do that Work, Who, with some others, near the Court did lurk; Having reciev'd a Consecrated Dart, With which they were to wound her to the heart, When ever they should find her Riding out; Yet e'er that Treason could be brought about, They were discover'd, and to Justice brought; Which base Attempt their own Destruction wrought.
Rebellious Subjects, Jesuites likewise, Resolv'd that he should fall a Sacrifice To their Malicious Rage; but GOD above, Did from the King that Dreadful Storm remove. Some of the Traytors Executed were, The rest his Majesty was pleas'd to spare Of his dear Clemency: Yet ne'ertheless, Rome could not yet forbear, but must Transgress. A Dreadful Plot at length they did invent, To blow up both the King and Parliament, And the young Prince; thus root and branch they thought Should be at once to Dismal Ruine brought: Whose Royal Limbs they did resolve to tare, And rend to pieces all that present were, With King, Dukes, Lords, and Commons of the Land, Behold the Dreadful Minute was at hand. When GOD, by His good Providence Divine, Made known that Hellish Plot and base Design, Tho' for the same they were Examples made, Yet Rome will not forsake her Plotting Trade. Many more Treasons I might mention here, But to be short, Romes Prince and Darling Dear, By their misguidance lost his Realms of late: This shows, whom they'll not kill, they'll ruinate . When, Locust like, they swarm'd about the Throne, In Court, and thro' the Realm; it is well known, The very best of Men they Villify'd, Who dar'd not speak because their tongues were ty'd. When Mourning SION unregarded lay; And when her Pious Sons were pack'd away (Like Malefactors) to a lonesome Goal; When Jesuites had power to prevail;
With thankful hearts let us this Blessing over That GOD has plac'd on the Imperial throne A Pious Prince , who does our Rights maintain: Why should we wish for Slavery again? Yet so it is, such restless souls we have, Who sent to France , and earnestly did crave, That Lewis he would send an Armed Band, With Sword and Fire to Invade this Land. Besides, they had resolved to Kill the King, Against the very time that France should bring Their Popish Army to the British shore, And they would join them with some Thousands more. Lewis immediately in Councils sits, Assisted by the Pope and Jesuites; Where after some Debate it was agreed, To prosecute this great Design with speed. The two intire Friends was parting then, With many Protestations made, that when The Work was done, Millions of Gold he'd send To Lewis , who had been so long his Friend. Resolv'd they were to Conquer by the Sword; But when the Troops they were to go on Board, The Plot broke out, on which they most rely'd; And then the great Design was laid aside. Some Knights that did this Hellish Plot invent, Have now receiv'd Deserved Punishment; Then let their Fatal Deaths a warning be To Subjects, both of high and low degree. Those that will Plot against our Church and State, Hoping thereby to make their Fortunes great, May well expect to see a shameful end; For GOD he will his Righteous Church defend.
