Hath not the blood of the Saints of Jesus, yeleped by Antichrist and his adherents, Wicklieffes and Lollards, cried from the ground for vengeance upon the English Heaven and Earth for a long season? did not their bodies lye in the streets of France, 1under the names of Waldenses, Albigenses, and poor men of Lyons? Hath not Germany, and the annexed Territories, her Huss, and Hussile, Hierome and Subutraguians to answer for? is not Spain's Inquisition enough to ruin a world, much more a Kingdom? Have not all these, and all the Kingdoms round about washed their hands and garments in the blood of thousands of Protestants? And do not the Kings of all these Nations as yet stand up in the room of their Progenitors with the same implacable enmity to the power of the Gospel? Show me seven Kings that ever yet laboured sincerely to enhance the kingdom of the Lord Jesus, and I dare boldly say, Octavus quis fuerit nondum constat. And is there not a cry for all this, How long, Lord, holy and true, doest thou not avenge our blood on them that live on the earth? Revel. 6. 10. Doth not Zion cry, The violence done to me and my flesh, be upon Babylon, and my blood upon those Heavens of the Nations? And will not the Lord avenge his Elect that cry unto him day and night, will he not do it speedily? Will he not call the fowls of Heaven to eat the flesh of Kings, and Captains, and great men of the Earth? Revel. 19. 18. Will he not make these Heavens like the wood of the vine, not a pin to be taken off them to hang a garment on, in his whole tabernacle?
