Revelation11:10
Verſe 10. Shall rejoyce over them] As they did at the Councel of Constance, Ibid. 1622. In terris mandatant quod apud [illegible: 2 letters]ſeros di [illegible: 3 letters]unt Ibid 1947. when they had burnt John Huſſe and Hierome of Prague. So, upon the news of the Biſhops burnt at Oxford, Gardner came out rejoycing to the Duke of Norfolk, Now, ſaid he, let us be merry and go to dinner. But it was the laſt he did eat, and he went to hell to digeſt it too. So upon the news of the French Maſſacre,Th[illegible: 1 letter]an. a Jubilee was proclaimed at Rome: the Cardinall of Lorrain gave a thouſand crowns to the meſſenger. The Pope cauſed the Maſſacre to be painted in his Palace: thoſe of Ireland he will ſurely pourtray in his Chappel or Oratoury.
Theſe two Prophets tormented them] As Elias did Ahab, Jeremy and Ahab, their ſlagitious countrey-men; and as the Martyrs here did their perſecutours. Dr Fuller came to William Wolſey his priſoner, and ſaid, Thou doſt much trouble my conſcience; wherefore I pray thee depart and rule thy tongue, ſo that I hear no more complaint of thee, and come to Church when thou wilt, &c, Act and Mon. fol. 15[illegible: 1 letter]7. The end of carnall joy is ſorrow (ſaith Mr Bradford, Martyr in a certain letter.) Now let the whoremonger joy with the drunkard, Ibid. 475. ſwearer, covetous, malicious, blinde buzzard Sr John. For the Maſſe will not bite them, not make them to bluſh, as preaching will. Now may they do what they will; come devils to the Church, and go devils home: for no man muſt finde fault; and they are glad of this. Now have they their hearts deſire, as the Sodomites had, when Lot was gone, &c.
