_Canterburie_, but if the Lord himselfe had not watched ouer his Church,
if the Lord himselfe had not written England in the [ax]palmes of his
hands, if the Lord himselfe had not kept King _Iames_ as the [ay]apple
of his eye, [az]if the Lord himselfe had not been on our side (now may
Gods Israell in England say) if the Lord himselfe had not been on our
side, when they rose vp against vs, if the Lord himselfe had not (out of
his vnspeakeable goodnesse toward vs and our posteritie) broken their
snares, and deliuered our soules out of that horrible gunpowder pit;
these bellowing Buls of Basan, and Canon-mouthed hell-hounds would haue
made on this day such a roare, that all Christendome should haue felt
it, and the whole world haue feared it. [ba]_O Lord God of all power,
blessed be thy name, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies
of thy people,[bb] so let all thine enemies perish._ _O Lord, that
our[bc] mouthes may be filled with laughter and our tongue with ioy._
_Sint diui modo non viui_, let England hang such, although afterward
Rome hallow such, he that hath an eye to see without the spectacles of a
Iesuit, will affoord as good credit to the register at _Tiburne_ as to
the Calender of _Tyber_: for if these be Martyrs, I wonder who are
Murtherers? If these be Saints, I pray you who are Scythians? If these
bee Catholikes, who are Canibals?
