ENGLANDS CALAMITY, foreshown in GERMANIE'S Misery. Being the dire Consequent of the Growth of POPERY.  
Represented as a Shadow of those Popish, worse than Heathenish, Persecutions which befell Germany, from 1630 to 1635. And nothing but speedy Repentance can prevent the like befalling us. With an Account of the PRODIGIES that preceded those Dreadful Times. Together with the Bible-Persecutions, from Cain in the Old Testament, to Herod the Great, in the New.  

Protestants burning for the true Christian Religion, and that the Papists may have the fairer Pretence for their Cruelty, they must be called heretics; then they flatter themselves, and think they do God Service.   

Your Wives and Daughters ravished, else their Throats to be cut, or other devilish torments inflicted on them: Together with little Childrens Brains dashed against the Walls. For nothing say the Papists is too bad for heretics Brats.   

I. The Distressed Protestants persecuted by the Cruel Imperialists in Germany: from 1630, to 1635.  
PASWALICK was taken by Storm, by the Imperialists, where they brayn'd all the Sweedish Souldiers: and not resting here, they ravish Virgins and Child-bed women: slay the Men, and fired the Houses over their heads: They Massacred Divines, burnt down Protestant Churches. Poor England's fires has not yet been in Hostility, tho by their Treachery.  
131. Tilly and Pappenhein, in 12 hours space burnt down; and of old and young, Twenty six thousand slain, burnt and flung into the River Elve.  
Ladies and Gentlewomen yoked together, forced into the Woods, in Frost and Snow, there stripped and ravished.  
Hexter being taken, such was the infernal Rage of the Papists, They hewed in pieces all Sexes, and Ages; and what the Cruel Sword left, the flaming fire devoured.  
At Griphenburge, they starved the Senators. The Heidelburg Divines and burghers were served with Bread and water.  
In Pomeren, the Frankendales were used worse than Dogs, the poor Inhabitants forced to eat their own dung. With Cords they twisted the heads of some about, until the blood started out of the Nose and eyes.  
They tied burning Matches to the Tongue, Noses, Eyes, Cheeks, Breasts and Legs: Yea! and the Privy parts of Women they stuffed with Gun-powder and fired!!  
Through the flesh of some they drew strong Cords; some they roasted, others they smok'd like Hogs. The rest they baked in Ovens.  
Some they tied Arms and Legs together backward, and with rags rammed up their Mouths, to prevent their praying. Some Faces they plain'd with Chisels; some they dragged through the Streets, wounded with Axes and Hammers; stinking water and Urine was forced down the Throats of many, and so filled, that by leisure they might swell, and so perish by degrees. To others they constrained knotted Clouts down their Throats, and pulled them up again with packthread. They s●w'd off the Legs of some.  
A Reverend Divine was bound to a table, and tortured with a Cat, prepared by Hunger, and with iron sharp pins forced the Cat to more Cruelty.  
The Croats devoured young Infants. Virgins shamefully were deflowered, women with Child, and women in Childbed forced to yield to their Beastliness.  
Yet Wondronsly were Warning Pieces shown,  
Before the fury of Provoked Wrath's made kn●wn.   

II. Wonderful Prodigies seen before Germanies Miseries.

1624. At Ratsboune, a strange Tempest battered down 400 houses, tore Trees up by the roots, and all in a quarter of an hour.  
1625. Near Troppaw, a great number of jack-daws fought very furiously, and many were killed. Also in Lower Saxony, a woman cutting a loaf of Bread, it did bleed.  
1631. At Magdenburg Siege, a Captain's wife died in Child-bed, her body being ript up, in her Womb was a Boy as big as one of three years old, having an Helmet and a Breast-plate on, and great Boots after the French Fashion, and by his side, a Bullet pouch.  
1633. At Altenburge, If any did but touch a Fish-pond turned to Blood, he could not wash off the stinking smell in three dayes.  
1635. At Henssen two Armies of strange Birds fought in the Air.
