THE SICK POPE'S Last Will and Testament. With his several Legacies Lest to his Dear Children the Jesuits, and others. BEing very Crazy in Body, but extreme Sick in Mind, and sorely shaken with the Fever of Envy for the Late miscarriages of our Holy Designs in England, for the Subverting the Government and Religion there; and finding by the several evil Symptoms, as blasphemous Belchings, and desperate Rave, idle Rail, frequent Curse, silthy Spewing, blasts of Excommunications, and many other the like Signs, that I am not far from my End: I do therefore thus Ordain, Constitute, and Make this my Last Will and Testament in Order and Form following. JMprimis, I do bequeath my Soul to him that has most right to it, whether God or the Devil: But since the Latter has been much my Friend upon several occasions, and that I know him best, on condition he will give me the Supremacy in his Kingdom, I shall bequeath it to him. Item. As for my Body, I order it to be Buried with the usual Pomp and Ceremonies, and that there be given a plenary Indulgence to him who shall Write my Epitaph. Item. I Will and Bequeath to my next Successor all my Spiritual Pride, and to maintain it, St. Peter's Patrimony, with all the Incomes, Tithes, Benefits, Profits and Emoluments, made and received by Sacrilege, Perjury, Simony, Lying, Whoring, Murder, and the like, in as full and ample manner as was possessed by any of my Predecessors; and also the Benefits and Profits accrueing by Indulgences, Pardons and false Miracles, pious Fraud, and holy Cheats throughout my Kingdoms and Jurisdictions. Item. I Will and Bequeath to my most Catholic Son a large pair of Ass' Ears, a large Packsaddle sitted for his Back, with a great Bridle and Cavason fitted for his Head and Mouth, on condition that my Successor may Ride him, as I and my Predecessors have done. Item.

I Will and Bequeath to all the Hospitals and Prisons within my Jurisdiction, for the Relief of the Sick and Poor Prisoners, three Halfpences. Item. I Will and Bequeath to my most Christian Son, a Sword to cut off the Hugonots, and a Halter to Hang himself, after he has miscarried in his designs of becoming the General Monarch, and placing St. Peter's Chair in Paris. Item. I Will and Bequeath England, Scotland and Ireland, to him that can take them from the Right Owner. Item. I Will and Bequeath all the Kingdoms of all Heretical Princes to the Catholics that can take them from them, and a tenth part of every such Kingdom so Conquered to the Jesuits. Item.

I Will and Bequeath to the Emperor, so long as he shall continue to Persecute the Protestants, two Chests of Agnus Dei's seven Consecrated Roses, two Crystal Crucifixes, and another of Gold, with Holy Relics, Trinkets, Gewgaws, Vests, Copes, Caps, Tippets, Rochets, and other things for him to dispose as he shall think good among the Electors. Item. I Will and Bequeath all the Hollanders to the Devil, and their Lands for the keeping of my Successors Hogs. Item. I Will and Bequeath a Chest of Money to the King of Poland, to Fight against Turks, that they may not think to molest my Successors. Item. I Will and Bequeath the City of Geneva, for a place to make common Stews in, and leave the Begging Friars Overseers of the Work, and to be Stipendiary Pimps throughout the World. Item. To all the Poor Whores at Rome, I give six thousand Crowns, and to all the Rich as many Indulgences. Item. I Give and Bequeath to my dear Sons the Jesuits, whom I make Overseers of this my Last Will and Testament, Machiavil's Book fairly gilded, one Large Box of Cunning, another of Policy, three of Deceits, seven complete Fardels of Perjury, Lying, Whoring, and other precious Stuff, seven Fats full of Worldly Greatness, and Outward Pomp, ten Chests of Impudence, and as many of Insinuation, one of seeming Purity and Sanctity, one of Murders, also a Box called the Art of Conjuration, a Chest full of Sanctified Daggers, a Cabinet of Mother of Pearl to lay up their Morals in, and two Chests of Jesuits-Poisons, and five of Poisonous Doctrine. Item. I Will and Bequeath to my Natural Nephews all the rest of my Worldly Goods to be equally divided amongst them. Item. I Will and Bequeath an Annual Stipend of Two thousand Crowns to be employed for the expunging several places of Scripture that point me to be Antichrist, and the Whore of Babylon, and several others that declare the Fall and Overthrow of our Power and Jurisdiction. Item. I will and Bequeath the like Stipend to him or them who shall invent new Anathema's, Curses, Plots and Conspiracies against all Heretics, especially those of Great Britain and Ireland. Item.

Item. Because my good and faithful friend the Devil, whose kindness I cannot but acknowledge in many things, though he miscarried in the late Conspiracy in England, should not be forgot: I Will and Bequeath him Souls and Bodies, of all those that shall call me Antichrist, or Whore of Babylon, or that shall write against me or my holy Sons the Jesuits, and of those who shall make Plays on any of our Predecessors, or shall write or speak Prophecies of our Downfall and Overthrow, as I have full power and authority. And Lastly. I order, constitute and appoint, my said old Friend Privy Councillor to my Successors, and to manage the business of State-policy, with the general Procurator of the Jesuits in a private Cabal; and I further confirm, order and allow all Privileges, Grants and Emoluments, given to my dear Sons the Jesuits, and desire them to see this my Last Will and Testament fully and wholly performed, as Witness my Hand and Seal. Signed with the Seal of the Fisher. The Pope's EPITAPH. HEre lies an Old Man who would be a God. Whose Pride on the Neck of an Emperor trod. Whose Will was a Law, whose Lust was a Rule Infallible, though an Idiot or Fool. Can Kings Excommunicate soon in a breath. Yet could not keep off the great Tyrant death. Who proud as he was, assaulted his Throne, And thrust the Infallible under this Stone. Who can by this time Infallibly tell, How many proud Popes are humbled in Hell. With Allowance.
