Fourthly, consider their irreconcilable hatred against ours, far above all other (although most heretical and damnable) religions; for why else can they content themselves with so studious prevention of the Protestants profession only; whereas both Jews and Grecians even in Rome it self the Popes Sea, are suffered with their Ceremonies, Synagogues, Services, yea & Circumcision it self administered to the dead as well as to the living? which loudly proclaimeth, that far they are from judging, & deeming so indifferently of our differences, as some among our selves seem to do: and that they would sooner be won to the Jews or Turks in profession then the Protestants: which hone of them saith is in nothing better then that of the Alcoran; and in many things far worse and more detestable. And good reason (me thinks) they have of suffering among them the forenamed Sects and Heretics, as from whom together with the heathen, the whole body of Popery is piecemeal patched together, and yet the name of a Protestant be as much detested of them, as the Jewish names were of the heathen Kings. For which ⟨p. 162⟩cause Daniel & his fellows must have all their names changed before they may be brought into the presence of Nebuchadnezzar, whence their ordinary practise proceedeth, that in their writings, their bitterness and disdain suffer them not to name, but in most reproachful terms, the first reformers and restorers of our Religion: calling them usually, Calvinists, Puritans, Innovators, and Heretics; neither doth this inbred malice of Papists against our Religion stay it self here, but hath broken out into most barbarous butcheries, and most cruel bloodsheddings, which yet they could never account sufficiently savage: not of their own subjects only, and within their own Territories: but within other dominions: not of private only, but of public persons: not of meaner, but of most noble, yea Royal descent: and not of persons only, but of Cities, States, Kingdoms, and Countries. But where should I begin, or if I should, where should I make an end of instancing their most matchless, and endless tyranny? (ever a note of false Religion, and inseparable to the Romish) whose cursed rage (like that of Simeon and Levi) Gen. 34.39. and 47.7.
