1. In a Manuscript of the Papists which I lately received from a Neighbour of Stourbridge, as sent from Wolverhampton, there are these words, with which they conclude [Luther having richly supped, and made his friends merry with his facet conceits, died the same night. This is testified by Cochleus in vita Lutheri. And John Calvin, a branded sodomite, consumed with lice and worms, died blaspheming and calling upon the Devil. This is registered by Schlusselburge and Bolseck; these were the Ends of the Parents of the Protestant and Presbyterian pretended Reformed Religions.

In a Manuscript of the Papists which I lately received from a Neighbour of Sturbridge, as sent from Wolverhampton, there are these words, with which they conclude [Luther having richly supped, and made his friends merry with his facete conceits, died the same night. This is testified by Cochleus in vita Lutheri. And John Calvin, a branded sodomite, consumed with lice and worms, died blaspheming and calling upon the Devil.

And as if their own tongue must sentence them to Hell, in the very words before they say [All Liars, their part shall be in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death] And so make Application of it to the Protestants, as being Liars; and when they have done, conclude with the two forecited impudent Lies of Luther and Calvin. The like words of Calvin hath the late Marquess of Worcester (or Dr. Baily for him) in his Papers to King Charles; the whole writing being stuffed with such impudent Lies, that one would wonder that humane nature should be capable of such wickedness, and that the silly people should swallow down such heaps of falsehood. And it is not these two alone, but multitudes of Papists that have written these Lies of Luther and Calvin. Thyraeus the Jesuit in his Book de Daemoniacis, part. 1. cap. 8. pag. 21. tells us this story: ⟨p. 190⟩that the same day that Luther dyed, there was at Gheola a Town in Brabant many persons possessed of Devils, that waited on their Saint Dymna for Deliverance, and were all that day delivered: but the next day they were all possessed again; whereupon the Exorcist or some body asked the Devils where they had been the day before; and they answered, that they were commanded by their Prince to be at the Funeral of their fellow Labourer Luther. And for proof of this, Luther's own servant that was with him at his death, looking out at the window, did more then once, to his great terror, see a company of ugly spirits leaping and dancing about without: and also that the Crows followed the Corps all the way with a great noise.]
