And in the sixth part of the same Sermon, you have a more particular relation of the Bishop of Rome's blood-shed, (according to the description of that Harlot, Revel. 17. 6.) in these words. viz. And as these ambitio•s usurpers the Bishops of Rome, have overflowed all Italy and Germany with streams of Christian blood, shed by the rebellions of ignorant subjects against their natural Lords and Emperors, whom they have stirred thereunto by false pretences: so is there no Country in Christendom, which by the like means of false pretences, hath not ⟨p. 156⟩been over-sprinkled with the blood of subjects, by rebellion against their natural Sovereigns, stirred up by the same Bishops of Rome, &c. And in conclusion, as the Sermon often entitles the Bishops of Rome, unsatiable wolfs, and their Adherents, Romish greedy wolfs; so doth it in special call the See of Rome, the Babylonicall beast, in these words; viz. The Bishop of Rome understanding the brute blindness, ignorance and superstition of the English in King Johns time, and how much they were inclined to worship the Babilonical beast of Rome, and to fear all his threatenings, and causeless curses, he abused them thus, &c.
