PAMACHIUS, Bishop of ROME, bewailing the death of Belzeebub his Father, doth cause all his Auernals, forked types, and anointed Gentlemen, to come to the reading of the devils Testament and last Will, which he his own self, trusting no body in so high matters, he doth read out aloud openly, saying: as hereafter followeth.   

¶ The will of the devil.

Also all my Ceremonies which in the Churches be used here within this Region. I give them to the makers and inventors thereof, and to their posterity, to bestow them where they will, that is to say: first, I give and bequeath to Pope Phelix, all such superstitious and idle Holidays as he invented: And to Honorius the jew and conjuror, I give the Offerings, which were given to Idols and Images: And I give Constantine, all the whole Images of my Churches: My Bells to Sabianus: my Popish Hympnes, to Pope Leo: my Matins and Organs, to Vrbanus and Vitalyanus: my Singing, to Pope Stephanus: my Procession, to Agabitus: to Pope Alexander, my conjured Waters: to Paschalis, my relics: to Honorius, my Litany: my superstition of Lent, to Thelesphorus: the vygill saturday, to Pope Innocent: and the friday fish, to Pope Leo: The Imbre days to Pope Calixtus: to Theodorus, the Paschal at Easter: to Gregory the vii the Saints vigils and Rogation week: my Lent service, to Auela the first: my shrines and dedication, to Sergius and Phelix: All-Hallows and all soul's day, to johan the xix: and to Pope Boniface the fourth: My yearly confession▪ to the Council of Laternense: and all other my Ceremonies, to the inventors thereof, as precisely as I rehearsed them particulatly by name.  
And I give and bequeath to the Usurers of all Towns and places, twenty millions of Gold, to be divided equally between them, as they would part my blessing, and that they leaned to no manner of person any part thereof, without great lucre and gains, yea, and without bearing any adventure at all.  
Item, I give my Chastity to the Clergy. Also I give to the best part of them, everich a red bloody Gown, and every other of them, a long green Gown, or a fine black Gown with every their typpettes of velvet and sarcenet, down to the ground, to be known from other men, following me to my burial, if I die, and none other persons. Item, I give to the mean sort of people, a. M. loaves of bread to be given to the Dogs, rather than to poor men.  
Item, to the Mercers, and Grocers, and other reteylers of wares, every of them, a clothe to hang before their windows, and everich of them a subtile light, to make all their wares show fine.

Item, I give to all Women, Sovereignty, which they most desire, and that they never lack excuse.  
Item, I give to every Single Woman, and Unchaste Wife in London, a covered basket, to bear in their hands, and to the finest sort of them, an Aplesquyer to go before every of them to cover their follies.  
Item, I give to all Whoremongers, fornicators and adulterers, a crafty wit, to wrest the Scriptures, and to make them serve for filthy purposes, thereby to excuse and prove themselves faultless. Wherein, I will all our Sodomitical clergy, which for their own ease, do abhor painful Wedlock, and replenish the world with incestuous whoredom, to help and aid them with unshamefast railing against our enemies, the ministers of God's word.  
Item, I give unto him, which under the Title of Heresies Testament, did as a Ualyaunt Champion of ours, most traitorously defame, and slander the true doctrine of my great foe and enemy jesus Christ, a stubborn, stiff, and rebellious heart therewith, stoutly through my special devilish grace, to withstand and resist, as much as in him lieth, to let his Princes proceedings, and to intoxicate and poison the simple, lest they fall and serve from me, and after his decease, if he continue faithfully, to the end in my service, a place in Hell, next to Satan my eldest son.  
And because that with the invincible sword of my mortal enemy, which most victoriously reigneth now, our kingdom being almost subverted, saving that yet some of our Marked Monsters do boldly & unshamefastly against their own conscience and knowledge maintain and uphold it, fighting with tooth and nail for our honour and right. I feel myself wounded to death, without any hope of recovery. For all Physicians, to whom I had given leave to kill, boldly without any fear of inditement or hanging, and to minister poison to the patientes, in steed of wholesome physic, have with the crafty and thievish Surgeons all forsaken me, I do hear, in my ragious mind, give my ample and l●rge banner and standard the Mass, under the which, all false Christians, have with me stubbornly, and much more blasphemously fought against the price of their own Soul health and redemption, that is to say: the death and blood of my most deadly enemy jesus Christ, unto my good, especial and trusty friends, Emserus, Echius, Faber, Constanciensis, and Stephen Gardenerus, with many other, unto whom, if they will persist still in my decent and comely Camp of blasphemy, I have prepared a place meet for such Champions and worthy Knights. Reserved alway, that my Son the antichrist, with his shavelings, and anointed Sodomites shall be participant thereof: that so with the daily Offering of a new made GOD, they may purchase unto themselves, my Satanical blessing, and hely rest.  
I do give to Vrbanus the first, the Silver and golden Chalices: and unto Sixtus the first, all my sign Corporaces': And the holy devilish hallowed vestments, or parliament robes, which my Standard bearers do use to wear in my battles and wars, I do bequeath unto Stephen the first.  
Item, I give the rabblement of my other feigned and domme Ceremonies wherewith my Standard is patched and made, to the Popish massmongers, to comfort their ●ory hearts withal, lyc●nsing them, wi●h the mysunderstanded Gospel and Epistle, to cloak their blasphemous mass, as I myself did bring against mine enemy Christ, plain scriptures, to blind them with all: these be the domme and blasphemous Ceremonies that I do mean: the Confiteor, wherein is the puddle of all blasphemy: the Office: the misused Kyrye eleeson: their blasmemous collects: their covetous Offertory, to spoil the poor laity with all, and fill their own purses: their stinking Canon, with their Suscipe sancta Trinitas, wherewith they rob my great enemy Christ, of his honour and glory. Item, I will them▪ under the colour of the Communion, set forth by their godly Prince, boldly and unshamefastly to keep, maintain and uphold my blasphemous Mass, which is an injury to the right institution of the lords Supper.  
Item, I give to all them that keep whores beside their wives a bawdy house of their own, and the saying of the reckless Woman in Solomon (St●ll●n waters are sweet, and the bread that is privily eaten, hath a good taste) to defend their bawdry.  
Item, I give to all priests Lemondes, that will not marry, but persever in their sodomitical, and abominable chastity, that they shall piss holy-water all the days of their life, even chattering against the true wives of the ministers.  
Item, I give to all them that profess the Gospel, and with their filthy living, do give occasion to blaspheme the same, a fair tongue to talk of it, an hypocritical face, and a New Testament, or other Book in their hands, to hide their feigned holiness, and hypocrisy withal.  
Item, I give to all Ruffians, a Sword and a buckler, a shirt of mail, and hosen of the same, a pair of chained buskins, a thievish look, and a whore.  
Item, I give to all myydle housewives: a small housewife or two to keep them company with all, & to love other men's houses better than their own, and to pass as much for their honesty, as they do for their cobbled shoes, and also a love to go gay on the holiday, and to do nothing another of the working day, to keep them occupied still.  
Item, I bequeath, to all Dicers, otherwise called wyndeshaken Gentlemen, to every one a thousand pair of false Dice, a copper Chain or two, twenty copper rings plated with Gold, a glozing tongue, a fair dissembled countenance, to deceive plain men withal, and an acre of land upon shooters Hill, worth an hundredth pound a year, therewith to maintain his estate, and his amorous Ladies.  
Item, I bequeath to every honest Woman, being a furtherer of Love, the keeping of some great man's house, that in the owner's absence, fair wives may resort thither, to banquet, and make merry with their Frannians. Item, I bequeath to every young Woman, maidenlike, when she shall go to the market, a poor Woman, to buy her meat, that she in the mean time may go to a bawdy house for her recreation, or else to a dancing school, to learn fashions. etc. Item, I bequeatheth to every apprentice that is willing to deceive his master, a receiver of his masters goods, a house to set his chest in with his apparel, that he may go cleanly: a Ruffian for his companion to help him to spend his money, & to bring him acquainted with with whores. etc.  
Item, I bequeath to all covettous executors, a false and an unfaithful heart, and loath to departed from that which is not their own, not bestowing the goods of the poor flock of jesus Christ, which causeth us much to rejoice together in hell, to see the multitude that cometh thither daily for that dreadful offence committing.  
Item, I give to all hateful haters of the poor Christians, a proud, crafty, and unmerciful wit, against the provision ●or the relief and maintenance of the same.  
Item, I give to certain Cities, Towns, and Countries, negligent Rulers, devilish, unchaste, covetous, and insatiable ministers, poll●rs, and guides to have the governance thereof: Keeping the goods bequeathed to the maintenance of the same, to their own lucre and vantage, and to make merchandise of the same, to oppress the poor laboringe flock of my enemy jesus Christ, that they enjoy not those goods, lands and rents, according to the will and mind of the bequ●athers, but maintain usury, and make Leases of the rents thereof, to to the utter undoing of all Artifyeers', for the which usurpers is provided a place with me in our internal Cities and Palaces, where they shall reign with Dives Epulo, world without end.  
Item, I give to the faithful servants of my Son Mammonna, a proud, covetous, and an uncharitable heart, therewith boldly and without mercy to oppress the poor, to spoil the fatherless and widows, and to put the commons of the country from their farms, Houses, commodities and livings: and all to maintain their Pride, and enrich them, which after their decease will spend all those evil gotten goods merrily, with carding, dicing, and whorehunting.  
Item, I give to all Crafts men that fight under my Standard, a lying tongue and swearing. Item, I give to the Butchers, new fresh blood to oversprinkle their stolen meat, that it may seem to the eye of the unware bier, newly killed, & pricks enough to set up their thin meat that it may appear thick and well fed.  
Item, I give to the Fyshmongers, free liberty, to sell their rotten ling, and stinking Saltfish to breed and engender diseases among the people, to the physicians advantage and profit.  
Item, I give to the Cooks and Pie bakers, good leave to shreade mouldy meat, and ready run away for quick ware, and to mingle it together with new fresh flesh, therewith to make pies and pasties, to furnish their neighbour's Tables withal.  
Item, I give to the Goldsmiths, brass and copper enough to mingle with their rings and plate, to make them to weigh for advantage. Item, I give to the Peuterers, and all other that occupy weights and measures, to have false & contrary weights, to buy with one, and sell by another. Item, to the Apothicaries I give leave, that when a man asketh them a thing, and have it not, to bring them another thing and say it is that.  
Item, I give to my Darelings, the privy Papists, images, crucifixes, and other like puppette maumettry, to worship secretly in their Oratories & Bed Chambers, because they may not worship them openly abroad in Temples and Churches.  
¶ Over this my Testament and last Will, which I have here made, in my ragious mind and spiteful devilish memory, in the presence of my great counsellors, Minos, and Radamanthus: I do make the Furies of H●ll Executors, that is to say: Megero, Allecto & Tisiphone: all massmongers and Papists, with the Author of Heresies Will and Testament, being faithful Overseers of the same.  
Written to our faithful Secretaries, Hobgoblin, Rawheade, and Bloody bone: in the spiteful Audience of all the Court of Hel. TESTE MEIPSO.  

The Court Avernal, after the rehearsal of the Deu●ls last Will and Testament.  
woe, woe, to our unsatiable paunches, which through our Sovereign Lord Belzeebub, had been to long fed with the Labours of the laity: O our Belly c●●●●●, our Belly cheer, farewell: that mi●chie●● may come upon these new Gospelers, by whom we shall b● driven to Plough and to Cart, and to keep sheep.  

O Belseebub, our sweet Maz●n.  
Masses of Requiem thou shalt lack none.    

¶ These be the ten detestable Commandments of Belz●●bub, to his obedient and accursed Children.  

WHo so will do my commandments,  
and keep them well and sure:  
Shall have in Hell great torments,  
that ever more shall endure.  
Thou shalt not fear God,  
nor think of his goodness,  
To damn thy soul, blaspheme God & his Saints,  
Evermore th●ne own will be fast doing.  
deceive men & women, & be ever swearing,  
Be drunken hardly upon the Sabbath day:  
And cause other to sin if thou may.  
Father nor Mother, look thou love nor dread,  
Neither help them though they have need.  
Hate thy neighbour, and hurt him by envy,  
M●rder and shed man's blood hardly.  
Forbear no man, but be all vengeable,  
Be lecherous, and in touching delectable.  
Break thy Wedlock, and spare not,  
And to deceive other by falsehood, care not.  
The ●oodes of other, thou shalt hold falsely,  
And yield it no more,  
though he speak courteously.  
Company oft with Women,  
and tempt them to sin:  
Desire thy neighbour's Wife,  
and his goods to be thine.  
Do thus hardly, and care not therefore,  
And thou shalt dwell with me in hell evermore.  
Thou shalt lie in Frost and fire,  
with sickness and hunger:  
And in a thousand pieces,  
thou shalt be torn a sunder.  
Yet thou shalt die ever and never be dead,  
Thy meat shallbe Toadee,  
and thy drink boiling Lead.  
Take no thought for the Flood,  
that Christ for the shed:  
And strait to my kingdom,  
thou shalt be led.    
FINIS.
