John Trapp on Revelation 16:6

Verſe 6. For they have ſhed] As Minerius that monſter, the cruell Duke of Alva, bloudy Bonner, the Guiſes, and other of the Popes Champions.

Thou haſt given them bloud to drink] As Tomyris dealt by Cyrus, the Parthians by Craſſus, the Romans by thoſe Jews that cried out, His bloud be upon us, &c. as our laws do by the Prieſts and Jeſuites, and thoſe that receive them, proceeding againſt ſuch as are traitours to the State. The putting out of the French Kings eyes, who promiſed before with his eyes to ſee one of Gods true ſervants burned: The death of Charls the 9▪ of France, authour of the Pariſian maſſacre, by exceeding bleeding at ſundry parts of his body, who ſeeth not to be the juſt hand of God upon them? This Charles beholding the bloudy bodies of the butchered Proteſtants, in that execrable maſſacre, and feeding his eye upon that wofull ſpectacle, breathed out this bloudy ſpeech, Quam bonus eſt odor hoſtis mortui! How ſweet is the ſmell of a [illegible: 1 word] enemy? and ſhortly after breathed out his accurſed ſoul, Inter horribilium blasphemiarum diras, ſaith the Hiſtorian, tantum ſanguinis vim projiciens, &c. after the Beza had fore-warned him (but in vain) by that verſe,

Tu vero Herodes ſanguinolente time.

So Julian, Attilas, Felix of Wartenburg, Henry 3. of France, ſtabbed in the ſame chamber wherein he, then being Duke of Aniou, had contrived the French Maſſacre. So let thine enemies periſh, O Lord.

Talia quiſ que luat, qualia quiſ que facit!
