It is not enough for that man of sin, and stigmatical strumpet, to be drunk with the blood, (for she is said, Rev. 17.4. and 6. both to be arrayed in scarlet, and to be drunk with blood) of the dear and precious souls of many thousands of her own children, who being by her conceived, and brought forth in spiritual adultery, and after nursed up, and nuzzled in ignorance and superstition, have lived and dyed in Popish darkness. But she is also thick-clothed with the crimson and crying blood of infinite Martyrs of Jesus; nay, and now in her dotage, being grown a deformed Hag, and left by most of her lovers, she labours to repair the decayednesse and ruin of her painted beauty with the richness of attire, so that she is not now content only with garments of baser and inferior dye, but of late, is new clad, even with a robe of blood Royal, deeply, and double▪dyed in the sacred blood of Kings.

In displaying this whore in her bloody colours, I might tell you of those Seas of blood, which she hath furiously spilt in her drunken humour, and poured upon the face of Europe, almost all in our remembrance.
