The next part of this Image, the next way used by them for the propagating of the Faith, and the conversion of them they call Heretics is the Inquisition. So much hath been declared, and is known thereof, that it is needless here to give a Portraiture of it. It may suffice, that it hath been long since opened like Cacus's Den, and discovered to be the greatest Arsenal of Cruelty, the most dreadful Shambles of blood and slaughter, that ever was in the World.

This is that Engine, which hath supplied the Scarlet Whore with the blood of Saints, and the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus, until she was drunk with it.

This is the second Part of that Image which they have set up instead of the Holy Appointment of Jesus Christ.
This is that Engine, which hath supplyed the Scarlet Whore with the blood of Saints, and the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus, until she was drunk with it. And this is the Second way, or means whereby they propagate the Faith of the Gospel, and endeavour, as they say, the conversion of the Souls of men. This is the second Part of that Image which they have set up instead of the Holy Appointment of Jesus Christ.
The Third Way they insist on unto this purpose, the third part of this Image consists in Plots and Contrivances to murder Princes, to embroil Nations in Blood, to stir up Sedition unto their Ruin, inveigling and alluring all sorts of Vicious, Indigent, Ambitious Persons, into an Association with them, so to introduce the Catholic Religion in the places which they design to subvert. This Engine for the Propagation of the Faith, hath been plied with various Successes in many Nations of Europe, and is still at work unto the same purpose. And hereunto belong all the Arts which they use for the infatuation of the Minds of Princes and Great men, all the Baits they lay for others of all sorts to work them over unto a compliance with their Designs.
