Therefore those runagate Jesuits, that root out and kill Christian Princes, and subvert kingdoms, so far as in them lieth, hath the Lord branded with a mark of perpetual infamy, and of his just displeasure, at the gallows; though they being brazen faced, and hard-hearted, cannot by any means be brought to repentance. Judas hath left behind him a sufficient testimony of the woeful estate of those that hurt the innocent, his words are these, out of despair, and a perplexed conscience; I have sinned in betraying the innocent 1blood. Therefore he that seeth so many to study to hurt such as would live in peace by them, by murdering, by robbing, or oppressing, and vexing the being harmless, what do they, but cause talk every where to go of the Lords threats of revenging them, and bring them also most certainly upon their own heads, that I say no more. But of this point I have elsewhere entreated.
