Then followed a Jeſuite in Embroidered Robes, car [...]ing a great Croſs.

L [...]ſt of all came his Holineſs, carried on a Magnificent Chair of State, with his Privy-Counſellour the wil ſometime appearing at his back, having a great [...]ber of burning tapers about him. In this manner [...] carried thorow all the ſtreets of the City, diſtribu [...] Pardons and Indulgences Gratis: And being come [...]o the High-ſtreet, near the Croſs, he placeth himſelf [...]. Theatre Erected on purpoſe; where after ſeveral addreſſes made to his Holineſs, one of his Cardinals is the following Speech.

MOſt Holy Father, of all the Earth the Prince,

Who keeps the Keys of Hell, & Heaven, e're ſince

Peters days: You God of gods on Earth,

[...]o can Bind, Looſe, Save, Puniſh, at one Breath,

Souls of Perſons: Condemn both Kings & Crowns,

[...]o can make Souldiers Coats of Card'nals Gowns.

[...]at Joy is here! To ſee that You ſhould Grace

with Your Preſence, in ſo Remote a Place:

[...] therefore to you Preſents offer now,

[...] all the World to Baals gods muſt bow

[...]re's none dare Queſtion Your Prerogative,

[...]t Holy Father, then for ever live.

[...]ll make all owne Infallibility,

[...]de, we'll add you have Ubiquity,

[...]e ſtill at Rome, tho' ye have grac'd this day

[...]ith your own preſence: Hail Father, Hail for ay.

Pop.

Good Cardinal, we know this is the time

For to advance our Intreſt, let's Combine,

Spare ye no Arts our Luſtre to ſupport;

Go ſearch all Mines t'enrich our ſhining Court.

You may ſell Heaven, of Religion make a Trade,

Indulgences in plenty can be had.

Car.

Moſt Holy Father, while Prieſt-craft bears the ſway,

We'll make Heaven's Gate a Lock to your own Key:

'Gainſt Hereticks our Swords we'll quickly draw,

And will perform this Your ſo Sacred Law:

Hundreds of Thouſands we will make to ſhare

On common Doom, no Sex nor Age we'll ſpare,

No kneeling-beauties Tears, no Virgins Cryes,

No Infants ſmiles, none ſpar'd with us, all dyes.

About the time that his Holineſs and the Cardinal is at this Conference, Enters Father Peters in great haſt, who delivers his Holineſs a Letter; upon Reading whereof his Holineſs falls a-Swown, and the Devil appears at his back to help him; upon ſight of all which the Crowd cry.

Now Babylon falls, come, come, let us pull down

That Scarlet Whore, and break the Triple Crown:

We'll Countermine her Plots, we will Combine,

And ever pray for Religion and our King.

His Holineſs awakes, and being poſſeſt with an extraordinary Collick, (the Devil all the while holding his head) Vomits Plots, Daggers, Indulgences, and the Blood of Martyrs, and cryes.

Pop.

Oh! We're undone. Oh! Mr. Devil, pray

Help us with your advice, without delay.

Dev.

Hells Plots are ended, Iſraels GOD combines,

To cruſh our Counſels, to break our Deſigns.

Pop.

Oh! Mr. Devil, pray then take me hence

Unto your Court, ſince ye'll find no defence.

Editorial practices

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).
