- 14. Cruelty.
- 2Exod. 1.22.
Far greater cruelty have Papists executed on Protestants. That instance of taking a babe that was new-borne, and casting it into the fire, because it was (as they said) an Heretics brat, is a strong evidence of their more then savage inhumanity. They have spared neither young nor old, male nor female, great nor mean: but sought to destroy all of all ages, sexes, degrees and conditions whatsoever, not forbearing the most exquisite tortures that ever were heard of.
