The Powder-plot was of the nature of those Acts, Quae nunquam laudantur nisi per-acta: as Tacitus speaks. You see then at length, by what degrees these Romish Locusts are fallen soul upon Government, upon all Imperial, Regal & Princely power. So that at this day, to the inexpiable shame and dis honour of the whole Christian world, they teach, act, and approve, the bloody killing of crowned Potentates.
The Powder-plot was of the nature of those Acts, Quae nunquam laudantur nisi per-acta: as Tacitus speakes. You see then at length, by what degrees these Romish Locusts are fallen soule upon Government, upon all Imperiall, Regall & Princely power. So that at this day, to the inexpiable shame and dis honour of the whole Christian world, they teach, act, and approve, the bloody killing of crowned Potentates.
Which things sith they are thus; you are an honourable, wise and worthy Auditory; I say no more but this. Me-thinks it is an astonishment beyond the comprehensions of nature, reason, Religion, Policies of State, that such an intolerable generation, so odious, both to heaven and earth, for abominable Idolatry, so visibly infamous ⟨p. 29⟩both to this and the other world, with many capital characters of blood, so endless and implacable in their rageful designements against the crowned Majesty of the Kings Throne, so prodigious in their plots, that they have cast an inexpiable and everlasting aspersion upon the innocency of Christian Religion, such furious Assassins and Incendiaries, for murdering of Princes, butcheries of people, and firing of States: so enraged, even like Wolves in the evening to swallow us up quick if the time did serve; I say, that such, in so Orthodox a Church and noble a State, should by allowance, toleration, connivance, or remissness, be suffered to receive increasement and multiplication, both in number and insolency, to the great dis-honour of GOD Almighty, the continual vexation of GODs Children and good subjects, and the most certain hazard of the whole Estate, and the peaceable succession of the Kings posterity.
