THE Pope's Lamentation. Or the Whore of Babylon's overthrow,  
Being an exact Compendium of his Jesuitick Retinues, promises anb Supplications to delude the Multitude, and scape the Flames on the 17th instant, etc. As also, Queen Elizabeth's Congratulation to the City of London.  
AFter the Image of the Beast of Rome, dressed in Formallibus, with his Triple Crown, and Crosiers stuff, with his attendants of Cardinals, Monks, Priests, and Friars, who with an innumerable; Guard, solemnly waited on his holiness, to the Fire prepared for himthe Image being set by the side of the Bonfire, in his Chair: confronting that of the good and Gracious Queen Elizabeth, who was placed as a Spectator of the Action, being done in the Honour and Memory of her Birth day, who cleared this happy Island of all the Romish superstition, and unyoaked the People for ever there from, and the Image of the Devil placed on the Right Hand, and another of a Grand and reverend Jesuit, on the Left Hand, of his holiness; to support and comfort him: a great silence being made, his holiness before his burning made this short Speech, to the People.  

THE POPE'S SPEECH.  
You damned and Wicked Heretics, are you not ashamed of this your New and upstart invention of Burning me the Pope, in Effiges with all this due, clutter and solemnity at first brought in by the Rage and Malice of a Wicked Fanatical Physician, to whom I Got my Friend and Crony, Mr. Devil, to give him Water enough for his Fire, and to drown him since. But to leave the Invention, methinks 'tis but silly foppery, thus to show your dear Soars for my destruction: by Congregateing yourselves together solemnly, to behold the sport of Rascally Boys, and London Prentices, with Butchers, and Tinkers, and such kind of Scouring, as if they were at one of your Bear baitings; I say that this should draw you Ladies and Gentlewomen, at this time of the Night, from your homes, into the Balconies, and Windows, endangering your healths at this time of the Year, and that all this Concourse of People should thus Run together, to behold the burning of a poor Image, made of Wax, of me a Pope, that troubles you not, that am not your Neighbour, but dwell at a great distance from you, and hardly so much as think of you, unless when put in mind, by this good Man, on my Left Hand, Father Jesuit; who would recall you from the Errors. Consider with yourselves, is it not a disgrace to Temporal Princes, that you should thus Publicly burn my Effiges, who am one as well as a Spiritual Lord, and Father, and have a Large teritory left me, called the patrimony of St. Peter, than many Temporal Princes, that you durst not serve thus: you begin to move my anger, to see your folly, and in Rome, suffer nothing by it; leave off for shame this Pajent, and maigame, and I will promise you, if you will spare me from the Fire, and these others the Jesuits and Devil, which are like to suffer with me, Pardons and Indulgences, not only for all your sins past, and what you now commit, but for all sins to come, be they of what nature or kind they will, so that you may have free Liberty of sinning, without remorse, as you see many of my Sons, and Daughters; daily do, I having given power to this my Son the Jesuit, of pardoning them for all their Crimes, and this also will I grant for you, if you will return to me, and leave of this pernicious Custom of Burning a Pope. This being said, the Jesuit gravely looking about, spoke thus.   

THE JESUITS SPEECH.  
Well good People, though you have brought us here to be burnt together fast Friend, and faithful Counsellors, and that you Burn us in Effiges, I assure you, I yet hope to see some of you to Fry in Flames here, as well as hereafter, for this your Wicked Fact, and abominable disgrace, you show your good wills, as how kind you have been to us, we shall also Remember. Do not you think that all our Plots, and contrivances are at an End. You have discovered some of them, which indeed makes me a little admire, and made me begin to suspect, that Brother Devil had been false to us, and had betrayed our Hell-hatched designs, but he has assured me by many Hellish asseverations, as strong as those of our fraternity, that he is innocent of any such thing. But be it as it will, you have taken of some of our Heads, and now you burn me, as the Chief Father of the order, residing at Rome, but now we are like Hydra's Heads, the more you cut off, the more Spring up in their Places, we are indifatigable, and never to be tired out, we care little what you can do against us, so we can have but a creeping hole in England! O happy England, that once yielded us such incomes: but we will still undermine you, till we have entered your Fortress, and brought you to the Old pass, which if ever we compass, we have prepared Iron Yokes for your Necks, and Bolts and Chains for your Arms, and feet: we'll Fetter you, and Remember this Bonfire, with the Frying of your Flesh, and Crackling of your Bones I now speak plain to you, and you think I am no Jesuit, because I seem to confess, mistake me not, I am Innocent as the best, and as the Child unborn, and if need be, can still affirm it with as much confidence, as those who have died before me, for the things were as plain, as the Nose in your Faces, yet their confidence and great Impudence has wrought so on the minds of many, that they believe them Innocent. After the same example, I say take notice all you Spectators, that I am Innocent, and no Plotter, or contriver of any mischief to you, but good to ourselves, for it is no hurt to you to be Burnt, Murdered or Hanged, it is for a good cause, and for the Salvation of your Souls. What if I did say but now, that we did Plot, and contrive, I now deny that I ever did say so, you are all mistaken, I aver it, and Swear to the contrary, though I must now be Burnt for it: I know my confidence will weigh much with some, all are not such fools, as to believe their Senses, before a Jesuits dying words, or the Oaths and Testimonies of several People, before our Imprications, and asseverations. Therefore good People take notice once more, though I am one of the greatest boutfects in the World, and Incendaries, one that loves to see Kingdoms together by the Ears, Fight for Religion, whilst we laugh, share the Spoil, and have no Religion, I say, though I Commit murders and Massacres, and all sorts of Villainies, and contrive Plot, upon Plot, and all sorts of Plots, I say, and will still say, that you will, that I and all of us, are still Innocent. The Jesuits having ended, the Devil showing his Fangs, with a strange pleasing Grin, began thus.   

THE DEVIL'S SPEECH.  
My good People a great many of you I know, will fall to my share, I am very well pleased, that you will make me a Martier, with my dear Son the Pope, Jesuits; I tell you it is natural for me to be in Flames, and therefore you do but drown the Eel, and put me into my one Element for I can sleep as well in Flames, as you in clean sheets. I shall not therefore make to you any Speeches, as at my Funeral, nor shall I go about to persuade you of my Innocency, but I will like an honest Devil (you know the Proverb, give him his due, and sometimes the Devil speaks Truth) I confess to you, that I am Guilty of all the mischief that is committed in this World, but since I have not power of myself, to do any thing without the use of the Instrument Man, who cannot be hurt but by himself, I have made use of the Pope, and the Jesuits, as my Sword: and my Poison, with them I have wrought you sufficient mischief; and to tell you the plain truth of it, do still intent to do the same, look to yourselves as well as you can, therefore I will turn myself from you, and speak a word or two of comfort, to my fellow sufferers, and so conclude, tho' I look younger than you, and that I have no beard, for you must know the Infernal Flames singed it off continually, yet you know I am Older than you, and Old enough to be your Father, therefore my dear Sons, both Pope and Jesuits, you I have long counselled you, and by my Counsel you have chief maintained the greatness in this World; ever since that Ambitious Pope, who first of all laid claim to that Spiritual Jurisdiction over all other Bishops, and would exercise dominion and Lordship over all the rest. did not I make the Emperor of the East, who was a murderer and userper, to place St. Peter's Chair, for this Pope, to sit in, and have not I been ever since faithful to your Conclave, and passed the Chair that is set amply for another Body, but possessed still by me, and have not I ever since Inspired most of the predecessors, as I could Name them to you, but that I love brevity: as Ill crained as others: and among the rest, Pope Joan, have not I made some of them Conjurers, Blasphemers, open Buggers, and Calamites; and most raging and Bloody persecutors: but I will not innumerare all my Services, both to you my Son the Pope, and also to my dear Younger Son the Jesuit: begotten from a Lame Pocky Soldier; Ignatious, have not I made you greater, and of more power and Riches; than ever the Templars were: and have not I called a Privy Council in Hell, of all the Cunning and Sophisticateing Spirits there, to extract a Quintessence, of Subtle Principles, and Morals, and for you to walk by, and to maintain; and have I not brought you into all the Courts of Christendom: and do not you manage the Affairs of the whole Christian World. By my means and contrivance; let this then comfort you in this day of Tribulation, that I will not forsake you at the last Hour: but am willing to enter the Flames with you here, and to accompany you in those hereafter in my Kingdom, therefore you need not be afraid of being Burnt, since 'tis the Element I live in, and which you must also Live in, and you know we have Sworn never to forsake one another, but to Live and Die together, therefore these wise People have put us deservedly together: knowing our Friendship, intimacy, and confederacy; grieve not therefore at this suffering, for it is but a Type and shadow of what is to come, and what you ought to expect, Consideratis, Considerandis. With this the People gave a great shout, which being silenced Queen Elizabeth made this short Speech, with great gravity.   

QUEEN ELIZABETH'S SPEECH.  
Good People all, it rejoices my Soul, and Heart, that still beholds your Pious love to my Memory, to see this day, that the Image of the Beast, and the raging Monster, the Jesuit may be yet so freely burnt in these Streets, notwithstanding their endeavours of in kindling other Fires of Flesh and Blood, in this place, notwithstanding the pretences of the Pope, and the asserted Innocency of the Jesuit, you do not amiss in making this Bonfire, and burning their Effiges, for thereby you would show them the affection, to the reformed Religion, and your dissaffection to all the Trash, Trumpery, and Idolatry, and Blasphemy, of the Romish; that they might thereby have there hopes dashed, from attempting to bring in their Religion, into a place so generally dissaffected to them, neither can any temporal Prince, take acceptions at a thing done by no other Authority, shall the joint affection of the Common People, who are sometimes Vox Die, and are not to be restrained in such Cases: you meddle not with his Temporallity, but his Spiritual usurpation and Tyranny over Souls, besides I consider the many Provocations of late, more than usual, to exite, and exasperate the minds of People against them, by their most horrid imaginations, and contrivances. I know you still remember the many Treacherous ways these guilty persons had, to take away my Life, for which some few then suffered: then the Horrid and Devilish Powder Plot, to blow bp my successor, next the late bloody Wars, and the dessolution of the Glorsous Merrier King Charles, effected by their Treachery and designs: and now lastly the most horrid Plot, against the Life of the great Monarch, and merciful Prince; that now Reigns. over you, nod yet more lately, notwithstanding their suffering for their so late Crimes, their Hell hatched and neatly contrived Conspiracy, to throw all their Villainy upon the reformed, both of the Church of England, and the Bresbyterians, so Wicked as before was never the like Read, or heard of, to be contrived. I say all this being considered, you have just cause to show the dissaffection to their evil ways, and they suffer also very justly, for their Wicked Crimes, in Effiges.  
With this the People giving a great shout, the Images were thrown into the Fire, with general joy, and exclaimation.
