EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

THE Solemn Mock-Proceſſion: Or, The Tryal and Execution of the Pope and of his Miniſters, on the 17th. of November at Temple-Bar.

IT is not any empty popular Applauſe, or meer ſporting and inſulting Fancy that puts us on this Yearly Trouble and Charge of leading this Man of Sin as it were in Triumph to his deſerved Funeral Pile; we have more ſerious Inducements thereunto. For we intend to declare hereby, that the Pope is the Archi-Traitor, and the Head-Ingeneer not only of our Civil Combuſtions, but alſo of the Lamentable Firing of this Famous Mother-City of our Country; and that though he in his Emiſſaries made his Eſcape then, from Juſtice (perhaps by the connivance of ſome) yet 'tis but juſt that while we on the one hand do Solemnize the Memorial of our Reſtauration, we ſhould as oft remember them of that Shameful Fact, and that all the Bloody Crew of them ſhould be thus led as Criminals through our Renewed Streets to Attone for that Villany, and that they deſerve to be burnt in Effigie at leaſt for the ſad burning of Houſes, and Heart-breakings they have cruelly cauſed in this very Place. We would likewiſe hereby (in theſe ambiguous times) renew a Holy Indignation in all True Proteſtant Breaſts, and a juſt Abhorrency even in all impartial Spectators of thoſe Perſons and that Religion, whoſe Eſſential Tenet it is to propagate and maintain it ſelf by ſuch unchriſtian, inhuman, and deſtructive Practices. But we would further manifeſt by this Solemn Cuſtom, That though that Savage Religion hath of late found ſuch Potent Favourers and Abetters in this Nation, yet that there are many more ſtout unbyaſſed Proteſtant Spirits that will appear as in this, ſo on any other more ſolemn occaſion in defence of their King, Conſcience, and Country, to confound any of the rebellious, and ſuperſtitious Exorbitances of the Romiſh Religion; which may it be ſaid, not by way of vain provocation, but rather for the keeping of them quiet within bounds.

In Fine, The main Motive of our expoſing of this Mock-Proceſſion of the Pope in all his Toyiſh Jollity, is to undeceive the Rational, or even the weaker ſort of Papiſts and the Favourers thereof, and to fetch to them whom the ridiculeneſs of this Foppiſh Religion they would be at: Silly Fancies deſerve not a ſerious Refutation, and Eraſmus's Satyrical Drollery was found to be as effectual to bring down the Romiſh Pageantry, as Luther's Gravity of Argument. For can any man of ſence (if he will but a little ſuſpend his Prejudices) imagin, as they do, that the Eſſential and devotious part of Divine Religion conſiſts in theſe poor Rags, Forms, Shapes, Garments, Copes, Cooles, Myters, Croſſes, white Shirts, Beads, and ſuch other accumulated Traſh of human and late Fancy: For as Gods Nature is Spiritual and Immenſe, ſo reaſon it ſelf dictated ſo much Goſpel to the conſidering Pagans,

Deo ſacrifica ſemper ingenio probo: Neutu albam veſtem magis quam mores induas. Menand.

Caſto jubet Lex adire ad Deos animo videlicet in quo ſunt omnia. Cic. 2. de Legib.

as to believe that all the means of Worſhip that lead to his Knowledge and Adoration muſt be of a ſuitable Nature; and that he needs not for Decency and Glory borrow Colours of Men to ſet him out in any of their Antick Dreſſes, and all theſe things are but as if you would put Clouts, Pictures, Vailes, and Clouds before your Eyes, the better to ſee the more ſplendid Body of the Sun. But 'tis not our part here to preach to them, but thus much by the way to rectifie theirs and other Perſons miſunderſtandings of our Deſign, wherewith I hope we ſhall not need to trouble our ſelves or the World ever henceforward.

In the Front of this Proceſſion marches the Captain of the Popes Guard on Horſeback; there follow him ten Pioneers in Red Caps and Coats, in Ranks, with Staves and Truncheons, to make way for the Main Body.

Next walks a Bellman ringing, and ſaying in a loud doleful Voice, Remember Juſtice Godfrey.

A dead Bloody Corps, repreſenting Sir Edm. Ber. Godf. is carried on horſeback, ſupported by a Jeſuit behind, who hath a Bloody Dagger in his Hand.

After this ſad Prelude, a very large Banner is carried betwixt two, repreſenting on the one ſide, The Cabal of the Jeſuits at Wild-Houſe all hanging on one Gibbit; and among 'em another Twelve, that would betray their Truſt or Conſcience. On the other ſide is repreſented Gammer Celliers with a Bloody Bladder, and all her other Presbyterian Plot Forgers; and Proteſtants in Maſquerade; and all this in Colours on a Cloth.

The Firſt Pageant.

In the forepart of the firſt Pageant is a Meal-Tub, whereupon Mrs. Celliers leans, ſhe being on the one Corner, and having a Narrative in her Hand. On the other Corner of the Pageant is one in Black, ſtanding bare-headed, and playing on a Fiddle. Behind theſe there ſtand the Figures of four Proteſtants in Maſquerade, all in Bi-partite Garments of White and Black.

After this Pageant there follows an Abhorrer on Horſeback with his Face toward the Tayl, with an Inſcription on his Back, This is an Abhorrer.

Another rides after him with a Banner having this Inſcription, We Proteſtants in Maſquerade uſher in Popery.

The Second Pageant.

On this Pageant are repreſented four Franciſcan Fryars in their proper Habits, whereof two are Capuchines in Gray Ruſſet, with a Cord tied about their Middle, and long Cowls coming on their Head, and thence hanging behind with a Tayl like Hypocrates's Sleeve. The other two are Minorites, which is a Diminitive Species of theſe Franciſcan Birds, and they are clad in a Cinamon-colour'd Habit, with ſhorter Cowls. And know that their Devotion to the Rules of St: Francis is greater by far than to Chriſts Goſpel, which they think to be a Rule of leſs Perfection: And ſome of their Divine Poems do confidently ſay, That what Chriſt did for our Redemption of old, Francis does of late, the Blood and Merits of this latter ſaves now, as well as his did then; Qui modo Chriſtus erat, nunc Franciſcùs erit; with a great deal of more blaſphemous ſtuff that I have an horror to mention.

The Third Pageant.

Here are two Augustine Fryars in Black cloſe Habits, with a Leather Girdle, for there is a great deal in that; and whereas Augustin aſſociated to himſelf but ſome few for to ſtudy and live together in a friendly, retired, and free manner; theſe ſince made it an Order, as if the Order and Name of Chriſtians were not Holy enough for them. Enter after theſe, two Dominican bouncing Fryars (where note, that the worthier of Orders comes always laſt) theſe are clad in Black and White Garments, and are otherwiſe called Brothers Preachers, taking that and the former Nickname of one Dominick, who for preaching ten years againſt the Innocent Albingenſes (the firſt Diſclaimers of the Popiſh Errors in France) was for that and raiſing a Cruiſado or Holy War againſt theſe Martyrs, made a Saint by that See, which deems ſuch Cruelties very Holy and Meritorious Works.

The Fourth Pageant.

Here ſtrut out four Jeſuits in a black Hue and Garb, ſutable to their Manners, with high Collars mounting up about their Necks lik a Paſty-Cruſt; the Lives and monſtrous Actions of theſe are ſo well known, that we need not enlarge thereupon; only that theſe are two main Engines of their Kingdom as wicked as Hell can make them: firſt, that by the Invention of a new Frame of the Eaſie Devotion, they corrupt the unalterable bounds of Morality and Chriſtianity, and by a pliable Scheme of Policy, ſutable to every Princes Luſt, they deſtroy all Governments where they have Entrance.

The Fifth Pageant.

Here are Mounted Two Biſhops, a ſort of Diſciples of Chriſt, that pretend to take place of ordinary Dukes and Princes: Behind them are two Popiſh Archbiſhops in their Pontificalibus; they differ in their Croſiers, being ſuch Names and Habits as I never read of in the Goſpel.

The Sixth Pageant.

Two Patriarchs with two-forked Croſiers, in Biſhop-like Veſtments, and two Cardinals do ride in this Pageant in pure Scarlet Habits, wherein the Pope will not be beholden to Chriſt for their Inſtitution or Robes, being next Couſins to the Scarlet Whore of Babylon in every Point.

Next follows his Holineſſes Maſter of Ceremonies, carrying the Popes Triple Croſs, which he ſcorns to bear himſelf, diſtributing of Bulls, Pardons and Indulgences, and crying aloud, Here you may have Heaven for Money.

She Seventh Pageant.

Here comes Antichriſt himſelf; for neither Chriſt nor Peter ever took ſuch a worldly prodigal Grandeur on them; he is all arrayed in Scarlet-Robes, Furr'd with Ermines, and covered with Gold and Silver-Lace, with a triple Crown, on the Front whereof is writ, MYSTERY; he holdeth 2 Keys in his hands, which are pretended to be of a Place where he is never like to get in himſelf; two Swords ſtand at his Right Hand, typifying that of Excommunication, and of the Civil Dominion he claims over Kings and Princes; wherefore there is the poor Emperor Frederick ſprawling under his feet; on whoſe Neck he inſolently trode at Venice. Many other Crowns and Scepters lie at his Feet; whereof he arrogates the abſoltte Diſpoſal and Soveraignty. Therefore there is a Page of his in White at one Corner of the Throne, brandiſhing a Banner, whereon is writ, This is the KING OF KINGS; and as if that were not ſufficient, another Page on the other Corner holds a Streamer, on which is, Thou art our GOD the POPE; which Sayings are in the Roman Canon-Law, and Ceremonial, to be ſaid at his Inſtallation, and Pope Martin could calmly hear the Sicilian Ambaſſadors make Homage to him, ſaying, Thou art the Lamb of God that takeſt away the Sins of the World: So 'tis plain that it is he that ſits in the Temple of God, exalting himſelf above all that is called God.

The Eighth Pageant.

Here comes the Empreſs Donna Olympia, who was the Popes Miſtreſs by her Luſt, and conſequently the Worlds in her time; ſhe is ſurrounded by four Nuns, to whom 'tis leſs honourable to be Whores, than to Marry, for Pope Gregory himſelf, that ordained this goodly Vow of Chaſtity for Prieſts and Nuns, had ſome thouſands of Infants Skuls brought before him, that were fiſht out of a Pond ſurrounding theſe Holy Veſtals Monaſtaries; and many ſuch are recorded to have been found here in England in Times of Popery. On this Pageant is a Streamer inſcribed, Curtezans in Ordinary.

The Ninth Pageant.

Hitherto you have taſted but of the Honey that ſurrounds the Cup of Abomination; now you come to the bittereſt of the Potion; for they Uſher in their Religion with taking Fineries; but the Sting of the Inquiſition lies in this Serpents Tayl. Here indeed is the main Scene of Antichriſt's Cruelties againſt Chriſtians and Martyrs that dare ſee or ſpeak againſt his Errors, abominable Pride and Wickedneſs. In this Pageant you ſee a Seat of Judicature, whereon ſits a Biſhop as Inquiſitor-General, and is ſurrounded by other Monks as Inquiſitors-Aſſiſtants; there ſtands a poor Martyr condemned, before them, dragg'd to a Stake, environed with Faggots to burn him, and then put a Sanbenite-Cap on his head all painted with Devils; and all the Theatre round about is ſtrewed and hemm'd with Racks and Inſtruments of Cruelty.

In this Fatal Pomp the Proceſſion ſets out from White-Chappel-Bars, and on through Biſhopſgate, through Cornhil, Cheapſide and Ludgate, till it comes to Temple-Bar, where it receives its Sentence to be Burnt before Queen Beſſes Throne; and in remembrance of her happy Days, and for the Victories that God gives us in our Days againſt the Pope and his Emiſſaries, the Solemnity is cloſed with Fuzees and artificial Fires.

The full Manner of this Proceſſion is lively repreſented to the Eye on a Copper-Plate, and to be Sold by Jonathan Wilkins at the Star in Cheapſide next to Mercers-Chappel.
