The guilt of Innocent blood crying to Heaven for vengeance. [ LXXXI]

IT is reported of Philip the 2 d.* 1.1 King of Spain, that besieging the Town of St. Quintin, and being to make a breach, he was forced with his Cannon, to batter down a small Chappell on the Wall, dedicated to St. Lawrence: in reparation to which Saint, he afterwards built that famous Chappell in the Escuriall in Spain, for workmanship, one of the wonders of the world. Most sure it is, that many Churches and Chappells of the God of St. Lawrence, have been laid waste by the late Warrs of Christendome; and which is more, (and more to be lamented)

Page 20

many living Temples of the holy Ghost,* 1.2 Christian people of all conditions, of both sexes, have been causlesly and cruelly destroyed. But how shall the Nations ever be able to make recompence? what compensation can there be, for such effusions of Christian, Protestant blood? God of his infinite goodnesse forgive that debt, which they of themselves are no way able to satisfie.
