EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

The
Epistle
to
the
Reader
.
WIse
was
the
painter
in
his
amorous
conceit
,
who
in
pourtraying
out
the
pourport
of
Venus
,
drew
her
picture
with
so
great
arte
,
sleight
,
and
significant
resemblance
of
her
naturall
blazon
,
as
the
pourtraict
of
her
foreparts
all
ouershadowed
with
the
porch
where
she
entred
in
,
posteriora
eius
on
the
back
,
being
only
seene
going
into
the
Temple
,
presented
an
abstract
to
the
beholders
of
so
rare
excellencie
,
as
the
type
of
the
prototypon
by
signes
and
symptons
seemed
to
say
:
Giue

enamorades
of
Ladies
bewties
:
seeke
not
to

the
face
of

:
content
your

with
this
,
which
though
the

of

delightfull
obiect
,
yet
of
that
perfection
,
as
wherein
you
may
behold
the
works
of
Dame
Nature
to
be
so
farre
aboue
reasons
reach
,
as
wit
and

should
skip
beyond
their
skill
,
if
they
should
attempt
to
set
forth
the
worthiest
parts
of
this
goddesse
paragon
sance

.
And
yet
was
Venus
but
a
very
strumpet
:
a
common
queane
,
fitter
for
Vulcane
the
black
Smith
,
then
for
Mars
the
Captayne
,
and
more
admired
at
,
talked
of
and
followed
for
her
want
on
tricks
,
insatiable
lust
,
and
shape
to
frame
an
eye
to
vice
,
then
for
any
complement
all
perfection
to
be
found
in
the
purest
parts
of
her
filthie
carcasse
,
or
lineaments
of
her
vading
,
though
seeming

,
dropt

with

,

and

.
This
I
haue
sayd
,
to
bring
into
discourse
the
matter
whereupon
I
meane
to
treate
:
and
whereunto
the
treatise
following
doth
wholy
tend
in
chiefe
,
as
intituled
:
A
sparing
discouery
of
our
English
Iesuites
,
and
of
Father
Parsons
proceedings
,
vnder
pretence
of
promoting
the
Catholick
faith
in
England
,
&c.
For
if
wise
were
Apelles
,
or
whosoeuer
the
Paynter
was
,
in
conueighing
of
his
pensill
,
by
such
cunning
to
shew
Venus
on
the
back
,
as
all
men
did
deeme
her
face
,
and
foreparts
to
be
of
such
exquisite
perfection
,
as
impossible
by
arte
to
counterfeit
her
beauty
,
and
therefore
in
policie
thought
it
meetest
to
ouer-vaile
her
in
a
Temple
:
this
glimpse
of
her
seeming
glory
,
being
the
only
way
to
procure
alonging
desire
of
a
full
view
to
be
had
of
her
;
a
loue
in
such
fondlings
,
kernes
,
lobcocks
,
and
lewde
priuadoes
as
had
neuer
seene
her
,
and
a
concealement
of
what
soeuer
was
amisse
in
her
,
or
might
breede
lothsomnes
in
her
followers
:
Then
sure
no
fooles
were
the
first
Panegyricks
of
the
Iesuites
prayses
in
the
vse
of
their
wits
,
heads
,
hands
,
and
pennes
;
by
setting
forth
to
the
worlds
theater
in
many
strange
proiects
,
antique
stewes
and
emblemes
,
the
hinder
parts
of
the
Iesuiticall
perfection
,
leauing
out
the
fore-parts
(
scil
.
their
drifts
,
practises
,
and
deuises
which
are
first
in
intention
and
framing
of
platformes
)
ouershadowed
with
hypocriticall
zeale
pharisaicall
pretence
,
and
catholick
shew
of
so
true
religion
,
as
impossible
for
any
one
to
equall
them
in
any
degree
of
perfection
:
whereas
in
very
deede
they
are
men
of
the
most
corrupt
manners
,
imperfect
life
,
and
stayne
of
religion
,
that
liue
in
the
Cathol
.
Rom.
Church
this
day
,
as
this
ensuing
discourse
will
in
part
declare
.
And
yet
they
stand
so
much
vpon
their
pumptoes
in
the
euerweyn'd
conceit
of
their
puritanian
perfection
,
partly
by
meanes
of
fame
,
which
following
false
reports
hath
made
them
famous
:
partly
by
folly
,
which
hath
made
their
followers
dote
Pigmaleon-like
vpon
their
shrines
,
and
shadowes
of
vertue
and
deuotion
;
and
partly
,
(
and
most
of
all
)
by
cousening
policy
in
the
paynter
,
or
her
aults
of
their
blazon
,
in
setting
forth
a
counterfeit
of
morall
perfection
,
concealing
the
essentials
of
christian
Cathol
.
religious
pietie
,
because
these
are
not
in
them
to
be
found
.
Insomuch
as
one
(
and
he
their
chiefe
Polypragmon
)
Father
Parsons
by
name
,
scorneth
to
haue
any
secular
Priests
witnesse
of
the
Iesuiticall
worthinesse
,
and
of
his
owne
worthie
deserts
:
but
thinketh
it
inough
to
merit
the
honor
,
point
of
all
excellencie
,
worth
,
praise
,
and
perfection
,
by
possessing
the
minds
of
the
mobile
vulgus
with
an
opinion
of
their
hinder
parts
,
to
be
such
as
themselues
are
(
forsooth
)
peerelesse
,
matchlesse
,
and
none
to
be
compared
with
the
meanest
puny
father
of
their
societie
.
And
hereupon
in
one
of
his
letters
like
a
prowde
Nemrod
,
taking
vpon
him
to
be
the
holy
Apostles
peere
(
if
not
aboue
him
)
he
writes
,
and
in
this
manner
:
What
(
sayth
he
)
an
indigemus
iam
cōmendatitijs
literis
:
an
non
vos
estis
literae
nostrae
?
who
are
priests
and
laborers
in
Gods
Vineyard
by
our
hands
,
and
without
our
helps
,
and
labors
,
and
loue
towards
you
,
you
neuer
had
bin
such
;
no
,
nor
these
that
are
our
most
contradicters
or
maligners
there
&c.
Least
therefore
we
should
but
incurre
a
scoffing
contempt
,
and
receiue
but
a
flap
with
a
foxtaile
for
commending
of
these
peerelesse
perfectiues
:
for
my
part
I
will
promise
good
Father
Parsons
faithfully
,
that
hereafter
he
shall
neuer
haue
my
worthlesse
commends
,
nor
any
of
his
remayning
Iesuites
.
And
further
,
in
the
same
letter
he
accounts
the
secular
priests
ingratefull
,
for
not
applauding
to
their
owne
destruction
,
contempt
of
priesthood
,
abuse
of
Pope
,
and
Prince
,
and
ruyne
of
all
Catholicks
,
and
Catholick
religion
,
in
prowdly
arrogating
to
his
societie
that
all
we
haue
,
comes
from
them
.
Which
is
as
false
,
as
contradiction
can
make
it
:
for
all
their
credit
,
and
what
else
they
haue
worth
the
naming
,
commeth
from
the
secular
cleargie
and
priestly
prerogatiue
.
So
then
,
this
admonition
of
his
giuen
(
though
with
many
absurdities
)
is
to
be
taken
for
a
gentle
caueat
for
all
reuerend
priests
,
and
other
Catholicks
,
to
beware
how
euer
they
admit
,
accept
,
or
receiue
from
henceforth
any
fauour
at
a
Iesuites
hand
;
or
yeeld
them
any
countenance
,
or
affoord
them
any
furtherance
in
attayning
to
any
place
,
office
,
or
calling
of
credit
,
gayne
,
or
other
aduauncement
:
being
sure
by
the
former
to
be
vpbrayded
euer
after
with
disgracefull
speeches
,
making
a
mountayne
of
a
molehill
(
if
any
good
be
gotten
by
their
meanes
:
)
and
by
the
latter
,
as
certayne
to
make
a
rod
for
their
owne
tailes
(
as
the
tearme
goeth
)
lesse
or
more
sharp
,
agreeing
to
the
qualitie
of
the
profit
,
or
preferment
that
any
one
shall
enfeoffe
,
enrich
,
or
possesse
a
Iesuite
with
thereby
.
And
by
both
manifest
it
is
,
that
whether
you
giue
any
thing
to
,
or
receiue
any
thing
from
them
:
the
very
gift
,
receit
,
contract
,
bargaine
,
condition
,
familiaritie
,
or
act
of
intermedling
with
them
;
is
a
plague
infectiue
,
a
poyson
remedilesse
,
and
a
pitch
that
floods
of
watery
teares
(
nay
what
if
I
sayd
bloudy
)
will
not
wash
away
:
so
dangerous
are
their
inchauntments
and
charme
.
For
giue
them
but
an
inch
,
and
they
will
take
an
ell
.
Admit
them
to
parlee
,
and
straight
they
fall
to
practise
.
Affoord
them
but
a
fauor
in
ciuill
curtesie
,
and
they
incroch
vpon
a
freedome
by
absolute
authoritie
.
And
once
comply
,
comport
,
combine
your selfe
with
them
;
and
they
pray
vpon
you
.
Aliene
,
sequester
,
or
disioynt
your selfe
once
from
them
,
after
acquaintance
made
with
them
,
and
you
are
sure
to
be
deuoured
by
them
:
their
baytes
of
calling
to
their
lure
are
so
sweete
:
their
backbitings
in
giuing
of
gorges
for
off
castings
,
so
cruell
,
(
gladij
enim
ancipites
linguae
eorum
:
)
and
their
familiaritie
so
fatall
,
as
like
Seians
iade
they
are
infortunate
,
mischieuous
,
and
worke
the
heauie
downe-fall
of
those
that
deale
with
them
.
So
as
some
haue
wished
that
those
priests
who
first
(
of
meere
charity
I
dare
say
)
procured
and
were
meanes
of
the
Iesuites
comming
into
England
,
as
also
of
their
preferment
to
secular
priests
offices
in
the
same
:
had
bought
their
absence
with
their
dearest
bloud
out
of
the
one
,
and
the
other
,
the
English
Colledges
,
and
the
English
Dominions
.
But
seeing
the
dismall
dayes
of
our
heauie
calamities
haue
calculated
to
our
hard
fortunes
,
to
bring
those
amongst
vs
that
should
augment
our
miseries
:
Let
Father
Parsons
and
his
associates
from
henceforth
spare
their
pennes
,
and
(
if
they
please
)
their
liplabor
besides
,
from
reiecting
our
witnes
of
their
good
names
;
and
receiue
with
gratefull
minds
this
testimony
ensuing
,
by
a
discourse
of
their
owne
words
,
acts
,
and
proceedings
,
as
letters
commendatitiats
of
the
vnsauory
fruits
of
their
lucklesse
labors
.
And
because
their
face
and
foreparts
(
vnderstood
by
their
intention
,
which
should
make
their
acts
perfect
indeed
:
for
intentio
non
actus
perficit
actum
)
are
masqued
with
a
vaile
of
policie
in
externall
shew
of
pietie
,
so
as
the
ignorant
sort
of
their
foolish
Enamorades
haue
nothing
but
their
backs
,
or
posteriora
,
that
is
,
the
fruits
of
their
labors
to
iudge
them
by
:
therefore
say
I
,
by
a
demonstration
à
posteriori
,
or
of
the
effects
,
the
testimony
of
their
owne
hand-writings
and
deedes
done
,
will
we
,
or
nill
we
,
will
be
such
letters
of
commendations
for
them
,
and
on
their
behalfe
,
as
we
are
vnwilling
to
open
,
were
we
not
forced
thereunto
;
their
friends
will
be
sory
(
for
their

will
put
them
thereby
to
their
trials
:
)
Angels
will
blush
at
them
:
feendes
will
laugh
them
to
scorne
:
and
they
themselues
(
if
any
grace
,
remorse
,
or
shame
be
in
them
)
will
hide
both
their
backs
and
faces
for
euer
hereafter
:
neuer
vaunt
of
their
vertue
,
of
their
learning
,
of
their
wisedome
,
of
their
gouernment
,
of
their

:
neuer

)
heere
enlarge
my selfe
with

discourse
of
the
Iesuites
to
too
great
impietie
by
application
of
the
example
brought
out
of
the
picture
of
Venus
:
what
foule
,
loathsome
,
and
fearefull
vices
are
amongst
them
,
pharisaically
ouershadowed
with
a
pretence
of

then
these
(
if

may

can
touch

;
and
with

of

credit
,
with
more
odious
crimes
then
euer
they
can
iustly

(
as
most
falsely

iniuriously
,
and
vniustly
they
haue
already
layd
them
)
to
any
of
these
secular

:
who
now
do
stand
in

I
could
here
set
downe
in
a
positiue
discourse
an
historie
of
a
great
part
of
their
whole
life
,
euen
from
the
beginning
of
Ignatius
Layola
a
Span.
Captain
their
first
founder
,
to
this
present
hower
;
all
within
one
age
of
a
man
:
how
they
are
gone
from
their
first
institution
,
and
haue
corrupted
and
broken
the
rules
of
their
order
or
societie
:
for
they
are
so
farre
out
of
all
order
,
as
they
must
needes
haue
a
new
name
,
scz
.
to
be
called
the
Fathers
of
the
societie
(
euen
as
the
Puritanes
haue
such
a
like
name
)
scorning
to
be
called
or
sayd
to
be
of
the
order
of
this
,
or
that
man
,
as
the
Benedictines
are
of
the
order
of
S.
Bennet
:
the
Dominicans
of
S.
Dominicks
order
:
the
Franciscanes
of
S.
Francis
,
because
the
Iesuites
are
of
the
societie
(
forsooth
)
or
fellowship
,
and
that
of
no
meaner
person
then
Christ
Iesus
:
how
of
all
other
religious
orders
(
for
religious
they
would
be
counted
,
though
not
of
or
in
any
order
)
they
haue
the
soonest
failed
and
fallen
from
all
religious
pietie
in
generall
(
for
some
of
them
no
doubt
are
good
men
in
speciall
,
but
I
doubt
those
are
not
Engl.
)
of
any
one
order
of
religion
that
euer
was
confirmed
(
as
theirs
was
)
to
this
day
.
How
many
signes
,
demonstrations
,
and
morall
certainties
there
are
,
that
their
best
dayes
are
past
:
their
rare
,
memorable
,
and
worthie
fame
,
at
the
highest
pitch
:
their
haughtie-aspiring-towring-wits
at
a
shamefull
non
plus
:
their
prowde-ambitious-mounting-thoughts
in
the
next
turne
to
a
Luciferian
fall
.
I
might
take
occasion
heere
to
descry
in
the
anatomy
lecture
of
the
Iesuiticall
ghosts
,
the
diuersitie
of
such
wicked
spirits
,
as
transforming
themselues
into
angels
of
light
,
leade
more
soules
to
hell
with
them
,
then
the
feends
of
most
vglie
shape
appearing
in
their
owne
proper
colours
.
I
might
from
hence
deduct
a
triple
alphabet
intire
of
Machiuilian
practises
vsed
by
the
Iesuites
,
setting
downe
their
rules

in

of

is

:
what

are
generall

and
which
are

How
this

is
to
be

in

as
a

how
to

,
vnder

of

I
might
here
dilate
vpon
the
manifold
iniuries
,
calumnies
,
and
slaunders
,
breathed
out
by
them
against
Popes
and
Princes
,
against
the

Rom
Church
and
common

of
England
:
nay
of

Christian
Kingdome
:
against
the
Mother

,
where
stands
inuiolate
the
fortresse
of
our
faith
and

:
against
all
monasticall
and

orders
:
against
the
secular
Clergie
,
and
especially
Seminary

:
against
all
noble
and

,
titles
,

,
and
princely
prerogatiues
from
the
regall
Throne
of
Maiestie
to
the
seate
of

against
the
right
of

to

,

,
and
honors
,
euen
from
the
Soueraigne
to
the
Freeholder
or

of
all

:
against

euery

,

and

of
the
publick

,
molested
,
endaungered

.
I
might
here
set
downe
the
finall
conclusions
of
their
intention
,
for
,
and
to
what
end
,
they
do
these
things
:
scil
.
to
aduance
themselues
,
and
pull
downe
all
that
are
not
they
.
For
this
cause
it
is
that
all
their
cormorant
crowes
,
are
milke
white
doues
:
their
black
birds
,
swannes
:
their
haggardhawkes
,
gentle
fawcons
of
the
Tower
.
For
this
cause
it
is
that
their
sots
are
Salomons
:
their
preuadoes
,
saincts
:
their
silents
,
politicks
:
and
all
amongst
them
rare
,
matchlesse
,
peerelesse
.
For
this
cause
it
is
,
that
they
haue
a
more
neere
familiaritie
with
God
,
greater
skill
,
and
more
aboundance
of
grace
giuen
them
,
for
edifying
,
directing
,
and
instructing
of
soules
,
then
any
other
Priest.
For
this
cause
it
is
that
they
dare
presume
to
call
the
Pope
himselfe
an
heretick
:
the
Kings
of
Fraunce
and
Scotland
reprobates
:
and
to
giue
her
Maiestie
and
the
State
heere
names
so
odious
,
as
too
oft
it
is
once
to
repeate
them
after
them
.
No
maruaile
then
if
the
secular
afflicted
Priests
be
subiect
to
their
torturing
toongs
in
all
extreamenes
that
may
be
thought
vpon
.
For
this
cause
it
is
that
they
(
the
Spanish
faction
I
meane
)
haue
labored
these
30.
yeers
space
and
vpward
(
for
so
long
it
is
since
the
Bull
of
Pius
Quintus
came
out
by
the
Iesuiticall
humorists
procurement
)
for
depriuing
her
Maiestie
of
her
life
,
Kingdome
,
Crowne
,
and
all
at
once
:
for
setting
this
flourishing
common
wealth
on
fier
and
flame
:
for
establishing
their
owne
Allobrogiall
conceited
soueraignty
,
vnder
pretence
of
restoring
this
whole
I
le
to
the
auncient
Cathol
.
Rom.
faith
and
Religion
.
For
this
cause
it
is
,
that
no
Religion
,
deuotion
,
pietie
,
charitie
,
no
nor
any
face
of
a
true
reformed
Cathol
.
Church
(
as
they
tearme
it
)
must
be
spoken
of
,
or
thought
to
be
any
where
,
but
amongst
the
Donatistiall-Africanian-Spanish-Iesuites
:
No
not
in
Rome
it selfe
,
without
the
Iesuites
residence
were
any
true
religion
to
be
found
.
For
this
cause
it
is
,
that
all
secular
Priests
or
other
Catholicks
must
be
censured
,
iudged
,
and
condemned
by
these
arrogant
Iesuites
for
irreligious
malecontents
,
atheall
polititians
,
apostataes
:
and
what
not
vile
tearmes
are
giuen
vnto
them
,
that
fauour
not
,
nay
,
that
will
not
applaude
,
further
,
and
sweare
to
the
Ladies
Infantaes
title
to
the
English
Crowne
:
or
that
will
seeme
any
way
to
defend
,
wish
,
or
shew
any
fauour
in
their
poore
and
worthles
conceits
,
(
as
what
other
opinion
can
afflicted
subiects
haue
)
to
the
line
of
King
Henry
the
seauenth
,
or
any
one
of
the
bloud
royall
of
our
owne
Nation
,
borne
and
liuing
within
the
I
le
of
Albion
.
For
this
cause
it
is
,
that
the
secular
Priests
must
be
holden
for
men
infamous
,
detected
of
most
notorious
vices
,
scandales
,
passionate
,
ignorant
,
vnlearned
,
and
vnfit
for
gouernment
.
For
this
cause
it
is
that
an
innouate
or
new
authoritie
must
be
gotten
and
giuen
to
one
Maister
George
Blackwell
,
(
a
man
by
so
much
the
more
fit
for
to
serue
their
turne
,
by
how
much
as
he
is
the
most
vnfit
of
an
100.
secular
Priests
within
the
Realme
,
for
the
purpose
in
shew
pretended
by
them
)
for
to
extend
ouer
all
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Wales
,
with
a
premuniriall
stile
and
title
of
regall
dignity
,
derogating
as
well
to
the
see
Apostolick
,
as
to
the
seate
of
Maiesty
.
And
yet
he
thus
authorized
standeth
at
the
deuotion
of
the
Iesuites
to
runne
and
turne
like
a
lackey
boy
in
a
french
Ioupe
,
and
is
to
attend
on
his
good
Lord
and
Maister
Fa.
Garnets
will
and
pleasure
,
being
but
aduaunced
to
the
dignitie
,
honor
,
or
office
of
a
viceroy
,
nay
but
of
a
viceregent
,
nay
but
of
a
vice-president
,
nay
but
of
a
viceprotonotary
,
nay
but
of
a
viceuiridary
:
nay
but
of
a
meere
spirituall
rackmaster
at
the
most
.
For
he
hath
nothing
to
do
with
any
Iesuite
,
among
whom
there
is
a
subordinate
authoritie
by
degrees
ascendent
euen
to
Emperour
Robert
Parsons
,
or
their
Generall
;
but
is
at
the
commaund
of
the
meanest
puny
father
amongst
them
,
to
strike
with
ecclesiasticall
censure
,
whomsoeuer
any
of
them
willhaue
smitten
downe
:
and
therefore
he
must
needs
be
said
to
be
in
some
inferior
calling
vnder
them
,
as
the
word
Archpriest
importeth
.
For
the
meanest
Iesuit
(
though
a
lay
brother
)
being
accounted
far
better
,
and
to
be
preferred
before
any
ordinary
Seminary
,
or
secular
priest
;
it
followeth
then
,
that
any
Iesuite
priest
is
to
be
preferred
before
an
extraordinary
secul
.
priest
,
that
is
to
say
,
before
an
Archpriest
or
chief
maister
&
head-priest
ouer
the
rest
of
the
seculars
.
For
this
cause
it
is
,
that
the
seeming
to
take
notice
of
the
Iesuits
falshood
,
treacheries
,
&
treasons
against
the
Cathol
.
Church
,
and
commonwelth
,
intended
by
institution
of
this
new
puritanianlike
superintendency
,
or
authority
,
and
thereupon
resisting
it
(
as
the
secular
priests
did
,
first
by
non-acceptance
of
him
,
and
then
by
appealing
from
him
)
is
tearmed
schisme
,
disobedience
,
disloyaltie
,
rebellion
,
and
what
not
offence
,
committed
against
Pope
Clement
,
or
Q.
Elizabeth
,
(
for
the
words
schisme
,
rebellion
,
&c.
must
needs
haue
a
relation
to
some
supreme
Maiestie
)
and
seeing
the
secular
priests
haue
only
(
if
against
any
)
schismatiz'd
&
rebelled
against
M.
Geor.
Blackwell
and
his
Iesus
masters
:
ergo
by
necessary
sequel
it
must
ensue
;
that
he
is
the
Pope
in
respect
of
the
schism
,
&
the
Prince
in
respect
of
the
rebellion
incurred
and
committed
against
him
.
But
then
withal
I
do
infer
,
that
he
is
an
absurd
vsurper
and
traitor
to
them
both
alike
,
by
his
dotage
in
suffering
such
vaine
Iesuiticall
applauses
to
his
owne
destruction
.
For
this
cause
it
is
,
that
he
the
said
M.
Blackwell
must
by
the
Prouinciall
,
or
other
superior
or
inferior
Iesuits
,
commaund
,
excommunicate
,
suspend
,
and
take
away
faculties
from
what
priest
they
please
;
yea
,
and
their
goodnames
besides
.
Nay
which
is
not
more
cruell
,
tyrannicall
,
barbarous
,
&
monstrous
,
then
childish
,
ridiculous
,
peeuish
,
&
indiscrete
,
void
of
all
wit
,
sense
,
learning
,
religion
,
conscience
,
ciuility
,
humanity
,
or
honesty
;
he
must
and
doth
forbid
men
to
defend
their
good
names
,
to
say
,
or
thinke
they
are
wronged
by
him
,
or
the
Iesuits
:
to
seeke
for
any
iustice
:
to
appeale
from
him
in
any
thing
.
And
in
few
,
such
absurdities
are
desperately
diuulged
by
him
,
as
neither
Prince
nor
Pope
in
like
cases
can
make
lawfull
:
being
against
the
law
of
God
and
Nature
,
wherein
the

cannot

,
much

M.
George
Blackwell
suspend
,

,
or
abrogate
,
at
a

pleasure
.
For
this
cause
it
is
:
that
all
manner
of
bookes
,
writings
,
or
other
passages
of
speech
are
contemned
and
condemned
that

that

that

Our
Sauiour
Iesus
his
deedes
are
to
all
true
Catholickes
so
many
documents
.
The
Scribes
and
Pharisees
religious
men
had
in
processe
of
time
through
their
hypocrisie
vtterly
discountenanced
the
ordinary
Priesthood
.
It
is
strange
by
Iosephus
report
,
into
what
credit
they
were
growne
with
the
people
,
and
especially
with
women
.
But
ficta
non
diu
fallunt
:
dissemblers
for
a
time
may
beare
a
sway
:
but
being
like
the
apples
of
Sodome
,
touch
them
,
and
they
turne
into
ashes
:
their
continuance
willnot
be
long
.
Christ
our
Lord
the
truth
and
the
light
,
finding
these
maskers
ietting
in
his
Church
,
plucked
off
their
vizards
,
and
with
many
woes
disclosed
their
dissimulation
:
leauing
vs
an
example
to
imitate
,
when
we
perceiue
any
religious
persons
countenanced
with
neuer
so
high
titles
,
to
shift
and
practise
by
the
like
fraude
,
how
for
their
owne
aduancement
,
they
may
discredit
the
secular
Priests
,
on
whose
shoulders
,
and
not
vpon
religious
mens
,
the
cure
and
charge
of
all
christian
mens
soules
are
chiefly
layd
by
the
institution
of
Christ
,
and
by
the
continuall
practise
of
the
Catholick
Church
.
We
do
not
make
this
mention
of
religious
men
,
as
disliking
of
those
most
holy
and
religious
orders
,
we
are
verily
perswaded
that
they
were
deuised
and
founded
by
the
spirit
of
God
:
some
of
them
especially
to
contemplation
,
and
some
to
ioyne
therewith
their
paynes
and
trauell
for
the
assisting
of
vs
that
be
secular
Priests
in
so
great
a
worke
committed
vnto
vs
:
but
not
to
deale
with
vs
,
as
these
our
new
maisters
the
Iesuites
do
,
to
oppose
themselues
against
vs
factiously
,
or
to
calumniate
and
slaunder
vs
falsely
,
or
to
allure
the
peoples
hearts
frō
vs
hypocritically
,
or
to
insult
and
tyranize
ouer
vs
most
prowdly
and
disdainefully
.
For
this
is
plaine
Pharisaisme
,
and
may
not
any
longer
be
well
endured
:
it
hath
already
taken
deeper
roote
in
short
time
amongst
vs
then
many
men
deeme
of
:
and
will
grow
to
be
pernicious
to
the
Catholick
Church
,
if
with
the
greater
foresight
and
diligence
as
pestilent
weeds
they
be
not
plucked
vp
.
Some
of
their
followers
haue
presumed
by
their
directions
to
affirme
in
writing
,
that
the
Iesuites
are
more
free
from
error
,
more
familiar
with
God
,
more
particularly
illuminated
in
all
their
meeds
,
and
more
specially
indued
with
the
spirit
of
guiding
soules
,
then
are
the
secular
Priests
in
the
haruest
of
God
:
and
thereupon
an
admonition
is
giuen
to
all
Catholicks
to
take
diligent
heed
,
and
beware
of
all
Priests
in
generall
,
that
are
not
either
them selues
Iesuites
,
or
such
else
,
as
haue
relation
to
them
,
and
are
in
all
their
proceedings
aduised
and
guided
by
them
.
And
concerning
women
,
some
of
them
are
admitted
by
our
Archpriest
and
the
Iesuites
into
their
secret
Counsels
:
and
both
there
and
elsewhere
amongst
their
gossips
,
they
censure
vs
in
the
depth
of
their
great
iudgement
very
wisely
:
they
rayle
vpon
vs
of
their
charity
very
deuoutly
,
and
they
condemne
vs
before
they
heare
vs
very
iudiciously
:
their
seducing
guides
do
fawne
vppon
them
,
flatter
,
and
magnifie
them
,
and
that
makes
the
poore
soules
to
be
so
fond
of
them
,
and
to
doate
as
they
do
,
and
runne
ryot
after
them
.
We
confesse
and
thanke
God
for
it
very
heartily
,
that
as
yet
there
are
many
sound
and
graue
Catholicks
both
men
and
women
,
that
are
not
bewitched
with
the
Syrens
songs
of
these
new
inchaunters
.
Marry
the
infection
of
this
sore
doth
dayly
as
a
Gangrene
so
spreade
it selfe
,
as
we
haue
thought
it
our
duties
a
little
to
seare
it
,
vntill
the
disease
may
be
vndertaken
hereafter
,
by
some
more
skilfull
Chirurgions
,
that
may
,
if
it
mend
not
,
haue
power
to
cure
it
.
In
the
applying
of
our
remedy
for
the
same
,
we
will
not
tell
you
of
the
bones
and
rottennes
that
are
in
these
graues
or
sepulchres
,
or
of
the
inward
filthines
that
remayneth
within
their
pots
and
platters
,
or
of
any
such
inward
vncleanes
and
iniquitie
.
For
except
the
very
out
sides
of
their
monuments
and
of
their
vessell
,
notwithstanding
all
their
cunning
paynting
and
scowring
be
foule
inough
,
and
loathsome
to
any
that
will
not
foolishly
shut
their
eyes
,
we
shall
very
greatly
meruaile
at
it
when
we
know
it
.
For
our
parts
the
truth
is
,
that
brag
the
Iesuites
and
their
adherents
neuer
so
greatly
of
their
familiarity
with
God
,
and
of
their
particular
illuminations
:
yet
we
professe
and
glory
in
our
calling
,
that
we
do
not
hold
it
necessary
for
the
better
credit
of
our
functions
to
vaunt
of
our
more
neere
acquaintance
with
the
Almighty
,
then
our
predecessors
and
brethren
haue
had
:
and
that
we
are
most
confident
,
not
only
in
the
excellencie
of
our
Priesthood
,
but
also
in
assurance
that
we
in
the
execution
of
our
functions
haue
a
sufficient
direction
of
Gods
holy
spirit
,
although
with
the
Zuinckfeldians
and
Anabaptists
we
neither
brag
nor
boast
of
any
particular
illuminations
.
Nay
if
the
fruits
that
ensue
from
our
English
Iesuitisme
do
proceede
from
their
supposed
familiaritie
with
God
,
and
from
what
we
know
not
more
secret
inspirations
:
we
do
greatly
feare
that
their
said
familiaritie
hath
bred
some
great
contempt
in
them
:
and
do
pray
with
all
our
harts
that
God
will
euermore
deliuer
vs
poore
secular
Priests
from
such
familiaritie
with
his
diuine
Maiestie
;
and
from
their
phanaticall
dreames
of
extraordinary
illuminations
,
inspirations
,
insufflations
,
or
what
else
you
will
call
them
.
We
as
we
trust
shall
alwayes
content
our selues
with
the
graces
of
God
bestowed
vpon
vs
at
the
imprinting
into
our
harts
of
the
indeleble
character
of
Priesthood
,
and
multiplied
as
we
trust
by
Gods
assistance
in
the
discharging
of
our
duties
by
winning
of
soules
,
and
our
diligent
indeuour
to
propagate
and
defend
the
Catholick
faith
:
without
any
further
expectation
of
these
Hispanicall
conceits
to
winne
or
continue
our
credits
and
estimation
with
you
.
In
this
our
rough
draught
to
shadow
out
in
some
sort
vnto
you
the
contagion
and
practises
of
our
English
,
Iesuitisme
and
Iesuites
,
we
do
first
intreate
of
them
and
such
like
as
they
are
more
generally
,
and
then
we
will
be
bold
a
little
to
claw
Father
Parsons
where
he
itcheth
not
,
as
the
man
that
hath
bin
and
still
continueth
the
chiefe
firebrand
that
hath
and
doth
inflame
so
many
both
mens
and
womens
hearts
with
pride
,
disdayne
,
and
malice
against
vs
,
their
auncient
,
most
louing
,
and
faithfull
ghostly
Fathers
:
who
notwithstanding
their
vnkindnes
towards
vs
,
do
loue
them
still
vnfeinedly
,
and
praying
for
them
continually
,
are
euery
day
ready
to
offer
our
liues
for
the
honor
of
the
Catholick
Church
,
and
for
the
confirmation
of
their
faith
.
Now
for
the
first
point
,
that
you
may
more
truly
discerne
what
manner
of
fellowes
the
Iesuites
are
,
that
thus
haue
bewitched
many
of
you
:
we
do
referre
you
(
the
better
to
ease
our
paines
herein
)
vnto
certaine
treatises
which
haue
bin
published
to
the
world
by
sundry
good
Catholicks
,
as
they
haue
professed
them selues
to
be
against
these
kinde
of
men
and
their
enterprises
in
other
Cuntries
.
A
Gentleman
of
Polonia
hath
set
them
downe
at
large
in
their
colours
:
his
discourse
is
thus
intituled
:
Equitis
Poloni
in
Iesuitas
actio
prima
.
We
haue
seene
two
treatises
:
and
there
is
a
third
also
conteyning
their
practises
in
France
,
and
the
causes
of
their
banishment
out
of
that
Kingdome
.
The
parties
that
made
them
were
the
Kings
Aduocates
:
men
of
great
estimation
:
Maister
Anthony
Arnold
,
Maister
La.
Dolle
,
and
Maister
Symon
Maryon
.
The
first
of
these
treatises
is
in
Latine
,
and
the
other
two
are
in
French
:
which
you
that
vnderstand
that
language
may
easily
procure
.
But
what
is
this
to
our
English
Iesuites
?
You
sayd
truly
,
were
they
not
all
in
a
manner
birds
of
one
feather
:
and
that
by
one
you
might
in
effect
discerne
the
rest
:
yet
are
there
also
some
other
particular
treatises
that
come
neerer
home
vnto
vs.
Maister
Cecill
a
Catholick
Priest
hath
written
a
discourse
against
Fa.
Criton
a
Iesuite
,
and
Maister
Charles
Paget
an
other
against
Fa.
Parsons
,
they
are
both
in
print
,
and
in
english
.
Get
them
if
you
can
:
for
in
the
perusing
of
them
,
although
sometimes
you
will
be
much
grieued
,
yet
there
are
many
occasions
ministred
now
and
then
of
some
little
disdainefull
mirth
,
to
see
the
folly
of
those
Fathers
,
how
they
thinke
they
can
play
at
tennis
with
kingdomes
.
Foure
other
treatises
haue
also
lately
bin
made
by
our
Countreymen
and
Catholicks
:
and
three
of
them
by
the
most
auncient
and
grauest
Priests
in
England
:
such
as
haue
endured
the
greatest
affliction
for
the
Catholick
faith
of
any
that
now
liue
amongst
vs.
One
of
these
treatises
is
in
english
,
written
of
purpose
to
satisfie
all
true
Catholicks
concerning
the
garboyles
amongst
vs
:
the
other
three
are
in
Latine
,
two
of
them
dedicated
to
the
Popes
Holynes
,
and
the
third
to
the
Inquisition
at
Rome
.
One
of
them
is
called
a
Memoriall
,
penned
Anno
1597.
and
the
other
is
intituled
Declaratio
motuum
&
turbationum
:
and
the
third
,
Relatio
compendiosa
&c.
the
two
last
being
set
out
this
yeere
with
the
sayd
english
treatise
,
are
all
of
them
in
print
.
They
do
all
foure
discourse
at
large
of
the
Iesuites
of
our
Nation
,
and
of
their
Machiuilian
practises
.
But
because
as
we
suppose
you
will
hardly
come
to
the
sight
of
them
;
and
for
that
sundry
things
were
omitted
in
them
as
impertinent
to
the
matters
there
intreated
of
,
or
auoyded
purposedly
,
least
they
should
haue
bin
tedious
,
as
also
peraduenture
because
you
haue
seene
none
other
of
the
treatises
before
specified
:
we
haue
heere
described
many
ofthem
after
a
sleight
manner
,
vntill
you
may
hereafter
know
them
better
,
as
well
by
the
sayd
treatises
when
they
shall
come
to
your
hands
,
as
by
our
small
paines
vndertaken
of
conscience
(
God
he
knoweth
)
for
the
benefit
of
y
e
Church
,
that
either
they
may
be
in
time
reformed
,
or
with
speede
auoyded
.
The
order
of
that
society
being
approued
by
the
Pope
is
to
be
honoured
of
all
good
Catholicks
,
and
the
men
them selues
are
to
be
reuerenced
;
such
we
meane
as
liue
according
to
their
calling
and
first
institution
:
which
few
of
them
do
.
For
of
late
yeeres
many
of
that
order
take
such
a
course
,
as
if
religion
were
nothing
else
but
a
meere
politicall
deuise
,
conceiued
,
framed
,
and
vpheld
only
by
humane
wisedome
,
and
sleights
of
wit
:
and
they
were
the
men
that
by
Machiuels
rules
are
raysed
vpto
mayntayne
it
by
equiuocations
,
detractions
,
dissimulation
,
ambition
,
contention
for
superioritie
,
stirring
vp
strife
,
setting
kingdomes
against
kingdomes
,
raising
of
rebellions
,
murthering
of
Princes
,
and
by
we
know
not
how
many
stratagems
of
Sathan
,
comming
out
of
hell
,
and
tending
to
confusion
.
The
old
saying
was
,
let
the
Shoemaker
meddle
with
his
slipper
,
the
Smith
with
his
anuill
,
and
the
Priests
with
their
prayers
;
but
the
Iesuites
like
franke
gamesters
are
in
at
all
.
He
is
not
worth
a
rush
amongst
them
that
is
not
able
to
manage
a
kingdome
.
Matters
of
State
,
titles
of
Princes
,
genealogies
of
Kings
,
rights
of
succession
,
disposing
of
scepters
,
and
such
affaires
,
are
their
chiefe
studies
.
Some
feare
that
they
are
more
cunning
in
Aretine
,
Lucian
,
and
Macbiuell
,
then
either
in
their
breuiaries
,
diurnals
,
or
portuise
:
assuredly
they
do
not
behaue
them selues
like
any
other
religious
men
.
He
that
should
tell
them
of
liuing
in
a
Cloyster
,
were
as
good
to
go
a
myle
about
,
as
fall
into
their
fingers
:
such
a
base
kind
of
life
is
so
farre
vnworthie
of
their
excellentnes
.
There
are
few
kings
Courts
in
Europe
where
some
of
their
maisterships
do
not
reside
,
of
purpose
to
receiue
and
giue
intelligence
vnto
their
Generall
at
Rome
of
all
the
occurrents
in
these
parts
of
the
world
:
which
they
dispatch
to
and
fro
by
secret
ciphers
;
hauing
either
a
Iesuite
or
some
one
altogether
Iesuited
in
the
most
of
those
Kings
Counsels
,
who
propter
bonum
societatis
,
must
without
scruple
deliuer
to
them
the
secrets
of
their
Soueraignes
to
their
vttermost
knowledge
.
It
is
true
,
that
all
orders
of
religion
haue
an
especiall
estimation
of
their
particular
founders
:
but
the
Iesuites
are
therein
ouercarried
with
humour
aboue
all
measure
.
For
the
Inuentor
of
their
order
being
a
Spaniard
and
a
souldier
,
of
what
country
soeuer
any
of
his
disciples
are
by
their
birth
,
in
their
harts
and
practises
they
are
altogether
Spanish
,
breathing
little
but
cruelties
,
garboyles
,
and
troubles
.
They
haue
by
their
writings
,
their
Sermons
,
and
by
all
their
indeuors
labored
to
perswade
all
Catholicks
,
that
the
King
of
Spayne
and
ourfaith
are
so
linked
together
,
as
it
is
become
a
point
of
necessity
in
the
Catholick
faith
to
put
all
Europe
into
his
hands
,
or
otherwise
that
the
Catholick
religion
will
be
vtterly
extinguished
and
perish
:
which
is
a
ridiculous
,
nay
a
wicked
conceit
,
and
like
themselues
,
building
the
faith
of
Saint
Peter
and
his
successors
vpon
the
King
of
Spaynes
Monarchie
,
as
if
he
haue
not
all
,
the
Church
must
come
to
nothing
.
But
these
courtly
Rabbies
do
thinke
they
may
easily
carry
vs
poore
secular
Priests
after
their
shadowes
,
and
make
vs
to
admire
whatsoeuer
they
will
tell
vs.
How
they
laboured
in
Fraunce
(
euen
the
French
Iesuites
thēselues
)
to
haue
lifted
the
Spaniard
into
the
throane
of
that
kingdome
,
with
the
consequent
ouerthrow
of
their
owne
natiue
country
,
you
are
not
ignorant
:
all
Christendome
to
their
perpetuall
shame
ringing
so
lowdly
of
it
.
With
which
prodigious
,
and
more
then
heathenish
practises
,
if
they
were
only
stayned
,
and
that
the
contagion
of
them
had
not
infected
the
Iesuites
borne
amongst
vs
heere
in
England
,
it
would
much
lesse
haue
grieued
all
discreete
English
Catholicks
,
and
especially
vs
the
secular
Priests
.
But
to
our
infinite
danger
it
is
farre
otherwise
.
For
what
stirre
haue
some
of
them
kept
in
Spayne
,
to
perswade
the
King
to
inuade
this
our
Country
(
a
designement
conteyning
in
it
the
very
ocean
of
all
desperat
calamities
)
yeelding
vnto
him
many
reasons
why
he
was
bound
to
vndertake
that
enterprise
,
and
assuring
him
of
great
assistance
heere
,
if
once
his
forces
were
landed
.
Since
which
time
,
who
almost
is
ignorant
how
they
vrged
him
to
a
second
,
and
to
a
third
attempt
,
for
the
surprizing
of
Arwennick
Castle
,
with
y
e
hill
Pendenice
,
two
other
stratagems
tending
to
inuasion
.
Hereunto
may
be
added
(
though
out
of
place
)
how
many
they
haue
intituled
to
the
Crowne
of
this
Kingdome
:
as
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
the
Earle
of
Darby
,
and
others
,
exciting
some
of
them
by
force
of
armes
to
assayle
her
Maiestie
,
and
buzzing
into
their
eares
how
easily
the
Scepter
might
be
wrung
out
of
her
hands
,
and
they
obteyne
it
.
But
most
pertinent
to
the
purpose
in
hand
is
that
their
plotting
and
compassing
how
to
set
the
Diademe
of
this
Realme
vpon
the
head
of
the
Princesse
Isabella
the
Infanta
of
Spayne
.
To
this
purpose
they
haue
written
a
booke
,
and
set
out
her
title
(
when
none
of
the
rest
will
serue
their
turnes
)
wherein
they
giue
her
such
an
interest
,
as
they
make
the
Kings
of
this
land
for
many
yeares
to
haue
bin
vsurpers
.
I
omit
the
paynes
they
haue
further
taken
to
procure
men
by
indirect
meanes
to
subscribe
to
this
Ladies
Soueraignty
ouer
vs
,
and
how
one
Maister
Midleton
was
driuen
for
feare
to
flye
out
of
Spayne
,
because
he
refused
so
to
do
.
If
we
the
auncienter
sort
of
secular
Priests
in
England
could
haue
bin
drawne
to
haue
runne
this
course
,
whereat
the
new
gouerment
(
now
obtruded
vpon
vs
)
aymeth
altogether
:
we
had
not
bin
so
traduced
and
oppressed
with
false
calumniations
,
as
we
are
by
them
at
this
present
.
We
can
say
for
one
of
vs
,
that
offers
haue
bin
made
vnto
him
,
that
if
he
could
haue
eaten
gold
and
would
but
haue
giuen
his
countenance
and
assistance
that
way
,
he
should
haue
had
it
.
The
particulars
last
mentioned
,
a
man
would
thinke
were
very
vnmeete
for
Priests
to
deale
in
:
but
what
if
these
Fathers
countenanced
with
so
great
a
name
haue
proceeded
further
?
We
are
in
an
horror
to
mention
it
,
and
would
hardly
haue
bin
drawne
thereunto
,
were
it
not
that
the
things
themselues
are
too
manifest
.
What
(
we
say
)
if
some
of
them
haue
conspired
among
themselues
,
and
with
sundry
other
most
wicked
persons
at
diuers
times
,
to
haue
layde
violent
hands
vpon
the
Queene
,
and
bereaued
her
thereby
of
her
life
?
It
cannot
be
denyed
,
but
that
they
haue
done
so
:
the
circumstances
haue
shewed
it
,
the
parties
themselues
with
whom
they
practised
haue
confessed
it
,
and
sundry
Catholicks
beyond
the
Seas
doe
very
well
know
it
,
and
haue
charged
in
their
writings
fome
of
them
with
it
.
We
know
the
Iesuits
many
of
them
haue
a
course
that
there
is
nothing
so
manifest
which
they
will
not
deny
,
when
things
fall
not
out
according
to
their
plottings
:
whereas
otherwise
if
they
sorted
to
their
desires
,
they
would
glory
in
them
.
And
amongst
many
things
that
giue
her
Maiestie
and
the
State
very
iust
cause
to
thinke
the
more
hardly
of
vs
(
especially
that
be
secular
Priests
)
this
is
one
not
of
the
least
:
in
that
these
our
pretended
brethren
of
that
society
,
and
such
as
follow
their
steps
,
do
in
their
writings
so
calumniate
,
or
deny
,
or
falsifie
all
the
actions
and
doings
of
the
State
,
be
they
neuer
so
iudicially
and
publickly
proceeded
in
,
neuer
so
apparantly
proued
true
,
and
knowne
of
many
to
be
most
certayne
.
For
either
they
do
pretend
that
the
parties
that
confesse
such
things
were
vrged
thereunto
with
tortures
,
or
that
it
was
a
plot
of
the
State
to
make
all
Catholicks
odious
,
or
that
there
was
no
such
matter
,
or
we
wot
not
what
,
but
they
haue
alwayes
some
shift
or
other
to
bleare
mens
eyes
with
,
to
the
discredite
of
all
the
proceedings
in
such
cases
within
the
Realme
.
If
any
of
our
brethren
dye
in
prison
,
it
is
sayd
,
they
were
poysoned
or
famished
:
if
any
kill
thēselues
,
it
is
giuē
out
they
were
murthered
.
Which
we
write
not
(
God
is
our
iudge
)
in
any
othersense
,
but
to
shew
vnto
you
how
much
we
think
all
good
Catholicks
ought
to
detest
these
kinds
of
dealings
.
We
haue
sufficient
matter
to
charge
our
aduersaries
truly
with
concerning
their
hard
dealing
with
vs
,
though
we
take
not
this
course
,
which
cannot
choose
,
but
make
vs
very
odious
,
and
doth
much
impaire
our
credits
in
those
things
which
we
report
truly
ofthem
.
Let
these
men
brag
as
much
as
they
list
of
their
pollicies
,
their
foresights
,
and
their
pragmaticall
wisedome
,
they
shall
neuer
whilest
we
liue
,
haue
in
these
courses
our
approbation
.
An
other
thing
also
is
generally
misliked
in
these
our
Fathers
,
and
breedeth
vs
indeede
very
great
hatred
,
besides
the
danger
;
and
it
is
their
equiuocating
,
which
you
may
tearme
in
plaine
english
,
lying
and
cogging
.
For
this
amongst
others
is
one
of
their
rules
:
that
a
man
framing
to
himselfe
a
true
proposition
,
when
he
is
asked
a
question
,
he
may
conceale
thereof
as
much
as
he
thinketh
good
.
For
example
:
One
demaunding
of
you
whether
if
the
Pope
should
come
in
warlike
manner
to
inuade
this
land
by
force
of
Armes
,
you
would
take
his
part
,
or
the
Queenes
:
you
framing
this
answere
in
your
minde
:
we
will
take
the
Queenes
part
,
if
the
Pope
will
commaund
vs
so
to
do
:
may
by
their
doctrine
giue
this
answere
lawfully
:
viz.
we
will
take
the
Queenes
part
,
and
conceale
the
rest
:
whereby
he
that
asked
the
question
is
playnely
deluded
.
Much
after
this
sort
one
Standish
a
Priest
,
but
altogether
Iesuited
,
abused
the
Popes
Holynes
not
long
since
:
who
asking
him
whether
the
matter
which
he
propounded
vnto
him
,
touching
the
setting
vp
of
our
now
Hierarchie
,
was
done
by
the
consent
of
the
rest
of
the
Priests
in
England
,
sayd
(
but
most
falsely
)
that
it
was
:
reseruing
(
as
since
he
hath
confessed
)
this
to
himselfe
as
I
presuppose
or
presume
.
Which
lying
sleights
being
knowne
by
our
aduersaries
,
do
worke
vs
much
woe
and
discredit
already
,
and
we
feare
,
will
be
more
and
more
preiudiciall
vnto
vs.
For
by
this
meanes
,
they
begin
to
giue
it
forth
,
that
the
Catholicks
are
not
to
be
trusted
in
any
thing
they
say
.
And
besides
,
they
may
charge
vs
by
this
ground
with
any
treason
whatsoeuer
,
and
we
haue
no
way
left
vnto
vs
to
acquit
our selues
from
it
.
For
be
our
answeres
neuerso
direct
and
true
(
as
honest
men
ought
to
answere
their
christian
brethren
,
if
they
will
at
all
giue
them
any
answere
,
and
so
much
more
the
Ciuill
Magistrate
)
our
aduersaries
may
say
vnto
vs
,
that
we
keepe
this
or
that
to
our selues
,
which
(
as
they
can
frame
it
)
is
sufficient
to
hang
vs.
For
example
:
they
may
aske
vs
whether
we
haue
taught
or
affirmed
,
that
her
Maiestie
hath
no
interest
to
the
Crowne
of
England
:
and
we
answere
:
that
we
neuer
haue
either
so
taught
or
affirmed
.
Tush
(
say
they
)
you
equiuocate
with
vs
:
you
keepe
this
in
your
mindes
,
viz.
as
long
as
the
Bishop
of
Rome
will
suffer
her
,
or
some
such
like
point
.
We
answere
,
that
we
do
keepe
no
such
thing
in
our
mindes
.
Oh
(
say
they
)
you
keepe
no
such
thing
in
your
mindes
to
tell
vs
:
we
know
your
shifts
.
And
thus
indeede
the
Iesuites
doctrine
giue
them
iust
occasion
(
not
knowing
our
innocency
)
to
deale
with
vs
,
and
euer
〈◊〉
suspect
the
worst
of
vs.
Whereby
you
see
into
what
a
gulph
of
danger
and
discredit
this
double
dealing
of
the
Fathers
with
their
heathenish
position
hath
brought
vs
poore
secular
Priests
,
and
other
more
honest
and
single
harted
Catholicks
:
such
as
cannot
stoupe
to
their
false
lure
.
Againe
,
were
it
that
these
our
Fathers
bent
themselues
only
against
Hereticks
,
and
to
défend
the
Catholick
faith
,
many
of
their
imperfections
might
the
better
be
borne
with
:
but
such
is
the
intolerable
pride
and
hypocrisie
of
many
of
them
,
as
nothing
is
well
done
except
they
like
it
or
do
it
themselues
.
No
gouernment
is
well
managed
but
by
their
direction
:
wheresoeuer
they
come
they
thrust
them selues
into
our
haruest
:
they
euer
will
finde
something
amisse
:
either
we
haue
wanted
discretion
,
or
zeale
,
or
learning
,
or
somewhat
that
they
forsooth
are
able
to
reforme
,
as
being
of
an
other
more
excellent
mould
.
By
which
their
arrogant
proceedings
it
is
well
knowne
,
that
the
rest
of
the
Clergie
for
the
most
part
both
secular
and
religious
in
Spayne
,
France
,
and
Italy
,
doe
greatly
dislike
them
,
finding
no
meanes
how
to
reforme
them
.
For
such
and
so
ample
are
their
priuiledges
,
as
go
whether
they
list
,
neither
Chauncellor
,
Bishop
,
nor
Archbishop
may
intermeddle
with
them
when
they
do
amisse
:
their
owne
pleasures
are
their
guides
.
If
they
do
but
pretend
whatsoeuer
they
take
in
hand
that
it
is
done
ordine
ad
deum
,
they
may
not
be
reprooued
nor
called
into
question
for
it
.
This
immunity
of
the
Iesuites
last
mentioned
,
howsoeuer
for
a
time
his
Holynes
doth
tolerate
it
:
yet
assuredly
as
it
is
now
vsed
by
many
,
it
cannot
last
long
:
except
it
shall
be
thought
meete
that
the
rest
of
the
Clergie
shall
be
subiect
to
them
.
Which
if
euer
it
happen
(
as
it
is
in
good
forwardnes
at
this
day
in
England
amongst
vs
that
be
Catholicks
)
you
shall
peraduenture
liue
to
heare
newes
.
We
will
omit
all
the
mischiefes
that
may
grow
by
the
pursuing
of
those
points
which
before
we
haue
touched
,
and
offer
to
your
consideration
but
their
boldnes
in
maynteyning
any
follies
that
they
themselues
like
of
.
These
erroneous
,
temerarious
,
and
hereticall
assertions
contrary
to
the
Catholick
faith
,
haue
bin
defended
with
great
eagernes
and
vehemencie
amongst
our
Iesuited
brethren
in
Wisbich
.
The
Stewes
are
in
Rome
cum
approbatione
.
The
Stewes
are
in
Rome
as
lawfull
as
any
Citizen
:
as
lawfull
as
any
Magistrate
:
as
lawfull
as
any
order
of
religion
.
The
Stewes
are
at
Rome
cum
approbatione
,
as
lawfull
as
the
Pope
is
himselfe
.
The
Stewes
are
very
good
and
very
necessary
.
In
that
a
Priest
is
made
by
tradition
of
the
Chalice
,
Patten
,
and
Host
into
his
hands
,
they
say
it
is
but
a
toy
.
They
hold
that
the
auncient
Fathers
rem
transubstantiationis
ne
attigerunt
.
Some
other
of
their
positions
we
haue
touched
before
:
but
we
pray
you
,
how
may
we
thinke
of
these
?
If
the
Iesuites
in
other
Countries
do
grow
to
such
giddines
,
what
will
Religion
come
to
in
short
time
,
they
ruling
the
roast
?
They
say
,
that
we
the
secular
Priests
are
more
subiect
to
error
then
the
Iesuites
;
but
(
we
thanke
God
)
they
are
not
able
to
charge
vs
with
any
particulars
,
as
we
are
able
to
charge
them
.
In
this
last
section
,
hauing
acquainted
you
with
some
of
their
positions
,
there
commeth
an
other
to
our
mindes
,
which
we
accompt
to
be
very
odious
and
seditious
:
and
it
is
;
that
the
people
may
depose
their
Princes
,
and
choose
others
at
their
pleasures
:
haue
they
any
or
no
right
to
the
Crowne
,
that
it
is
not
materiall
,
so
it
be
done
ordine
ad
deum
,
that
is
(
by
our
interpretation
)
as
the
Fathers
shall
appoint
it
.
It
had
bin
well
if
they
had
left
this
point
to
some
of
our
enemyes
to
haue
branded
them
with
,
for
rebellious
subiects
when
they
cannot
hauetheir
wils
?
but
it
hath
pleased
the
Fathers
to
stayne
both
themselues
and
the
Catholick
cause
with
it
.
The
issue
whereof
,
if
Kings
will
take
the
paines
to
vnderstand
it
,
must
needs
be
exceeding
pernitious
to
the
Catholick
Church
.
For
what
Prince
will
indure
such
persons
in
his
Kingdome
,
as
vnder
pretence
of
Religion
,
shall
infect
his
subiects
with
such
hatefull
conceits
,
so
dangerous
to
his
estate
?
We
that
haue
long
borne
the
brunt
in
this
Realme
for
the
Catholick
cause
,
haue
found
some
wofull
experience
of
the
vnseasonable
exempting
of
subiects
from
their
due
obedience
,
though
it
proceeded
from
his
Holynes
:
and
what
then
shall
we
expect
,
if
we
leaue
the
Diademe
to
the
disposition
of
the
multitude
,
and
inuest
them
to
a
right
for
their
proceeding
in
that
so
wicked
and
detestable
a
course
?
We
are
perswaded
that
no
Catholick
King
liuing
or
dead
,
either
did
at
any
time
,
or
will
euer
hereafter
giue
the
authors
of
this
doctrine
any
thanks
for
their
paynes
.
Here
we
would
haue
you
to
note
an
other
rule
of
our
English
Iesuites
,
which
must
concurre
with
that
of
ordine
ad
deum
:
and
it
is
this
:
that
all
things
must
be
wrought
and
framed
as
the
times
and
occasions
require
.
For
example
:
if
the
King
of
Spayne
,
or
the
Infanta
,
can
by
no
other
practise
obteyne
the
Crowne
of
England
,
then
in
that
case
the
people
are
to
haue
a
right
to
do
what
they
list
,
so
they
will
choose
one
of
them
for
their
soueraigne
.
But
that
done
,
a
new
doctrine
quite
contrary
must
be
deliuered
abroade
,
that
there
was
a
happy
mistaking
,
which
aduanced
him
or
her
into
this
throane
:
but
hereafter
the
people
must
take
heede
of
attempting
the
like
:
some
check
must
be
giuen
to
the
publishers
of
such
documents
:
a
dispensation
must
be
procured
,
and
all
shall
be
well
hereafter
.
Of
this
course
or
rule
Maister
Charles
Paget
(
as
it
is
thought
)
discoursing
at
large
,
sayth
,
that
the
old
prouerbe
may
be
well
applyed
to
it
,
omnia
pro
tempore
,
nihil
pro
veritate
:
they
measure
all
according
to
the
time
,
and
nothing
to
the
truth
.
We
will
not
dispute
against
this
rule
,
but
referre
you
to
his
treatise
printed
and
published
against
Fa.
Parsons
as
it
is
before
mentioned
.
This
only
we
will
say
,
that
our
pretended
Fathers
build
Castles
in
the
ayre
,
and
feede
themselues
with
their
owne
follyes
:
as
though
where
the
people
do
once
get
a
head
,
it
be
not
as
hard
a
matter
to
suppresse
them
,
as
to
stop
the
breach
of
the
sea
,
when
in
fury
it
hath
once
mastered
the
banks
.
The
experience
hereof
is
more
then
manifest
.
Furthermore
,
we
pray
you
obserue
an
other
practise
and
course
of
our
Iesuites
here
at
home
amongst
vs
,
and
tell
vs
what
you
thinke
of
it
.
Marke
their
behauiour
well
in
such
Gentlemens
houses
as
they
reside
in
,
and
you
shall
finde
them
that
they
will
commaund
and
ouer-rule
all
,
as
knowing
best
how
euery
thing
must
be
done
(
forsooth
)
ordine
ad
deum
.
No
lease
must
be
let
,
but
by
their
aduise
:
the
Tenants
must
please
them
or
repent
at
leasure
:
such
fines
are
to
be
taken
as
they
thinke
conuenient
,
and
some
part
of
them
must
be
imployed
as
they
shall
prescribe
ordine
ad
deum
.
In
effect
they
do
so
rule
and
ouer-rule
,
as
scarsly
can
the
Maister
or
Mistres
of
the
house
giue
a
piece
of
bread
at
their
doores
,
but
it
must
be
done
with
their
approbation
.
And
for
the
seruāts
,
they
are
much
more
at
their
commaundement
,
then
at
theirs
whom
they
serue
:
we
would
be
loth
to
tell
you
how
all
this
commeth
to
passe
.
Only
this
vnderstand
,
that
our
Iesuites
are
most
rigorous
in
their
taking
of
mens
confessions
,
whereby
they
know
as
well
by
the
seruants
as
by
their
Maisters
and
Mistresses
their
seuerall
confessions
,
all
the
secrets
in
those
families
:
the
wife
's
against
her
husband
:
the
husbands
against
his
wife
,
and
the
seruants
of
them
both
:
which
if
they
abuse
to
tyranize
ouer
them
,
and
to
dispose
of
their
ciuill
affayres
vnder
a
pretence
of
their
ordo
ad
deum
;
they
deale
not
like
true
Catholicke
Priests
,
but
will
in
the
end
be
found
what
they
are
.
Is
this
their
most
speciall
endowment
with
the
spirit
ofguiding
of
soules
,
that
they
brag
of
so
much
?
It
is
most
manifest
,
to
as
many
as
know
the
course
of
many
Iesuites
,
that
although
they
pretend
all
their
designements
to
be
directed
to
the
common
good
of
the
Church
:
yet
their
chiefest
care
is
how
to
aduaunce
and
increase
their
owne
society
,
hoping
of
likelihood
by
their
number
to
bring
one
day
some
great
matter
to
passe
.
For
where
they
make
such
faire
shewes
and
offers
;
when
they
come
into
some
Country
to
teach
the
youth
:
their
principall
drift
therein
is
to
finde
out
the
aptest
wits
for
their
purposes
,
with
whome
they
take
extraordinary
paynes
,
and
so
worke
them
by
kindnes
and
cunning
allurements
(
especially
if
they
be
of
good
parentage
,
which
is
a
chiefe
point
with
them
)
till
they
get
them
to
promise
,
that
they
will
be
of
their
society
,
or
somewhat
to
that
purpose
:
which
is
sufficient
to
seaze
vpon
them
,
do
their
parents
and
friends
what
they
can
,
except
they
will
hazard
an
imputation
to
be
inclined
to
heresie
,
or
to
some
mischief
,
or
to
we
wot
not
what
:
for
so
they
vse
to
calumniate
any
that
do
crosse
their
proceedings
.
This
course
of
alluring
the
fittest
wits
and
ofthe
of
the
best
towardnes
to
their
societie
,
they
held
in
diuers
Seminaries
within
the
Duchie
of
Millan
:
which
the
good
Cardinall
Boromeo
well
obseruing
,
thought
them
no
meete
men
to
remayne
there
,
and
so
banished
them
out
of
all
those
places
:
esteeming
it
farre
more
necessary
to
haue
such
apt
men
to
become
secular
Priests
,
and
to
take
vpon
them
the
cure
of
soules
,
then
to
haue
them
intruded
into
any
order
of
religion
,
which
intermedleth
not
with
any
such
charge
,
but
liue
after
their
owne
fashion
priuately
to
themselues
,
as
religious
men
ought
to
do
.
It
were
to
be
wished
,
that
other
States
would
follow
this
Cardinals
example
,
at
the
least
vntill
these
Fathers
were
brought
to
some
better
moderation
and
knowledge
of
them selues
.
For
our
owne
parts
,
it
shall
be
our
continuall
prayer
,
that
howsoeuer
other
States
do
,
it
may
please
God
to
moue
the
heart
of
his
holynes
to
remoue
all
Iesuites
out
of
the
English
Colledge
at
Rome
,
where
there
are
other
manner
of
practises
,
then
were
euer
attempted
by
any
Iesuites
in
the
territories
of
Millan
.
All
Europe
talketh
(
we
suppose
)
of
the
iarres
in
that
Colledge
:
many
secular
Priests
being
honest
men
,
haue
bin
sent
home
vnto
vs
,
loaden
till
their
backs
cracked
with
the
Iesuites
calumniations
:
and
none
but
such
as
will
be
Iesuited
altogether
may
finde
any
fauour
there
.
Well
,
of
this
matter
you
may
peraduenture
heare
and
see
more
hereafter
.
In
the
meane
time
it
may
be
sufficient
for
you
to
know
that
Machiauell
the
Atheists
rule
diuide
&
impera
,
is
as
cunningly
in
practise
by
the
Rector
there
,
as
in
any
place
we
thinke
in
Christendome
,
we
had
almost
sayd
in
Turky
.
If
the
Iesuites
when
they
came
first
hither
,
could
haue
bin
content
to
haue
ioyned
with
vs
that
were
Priests
,
and
to
haue
intermedled
no
further
then
with
their
Priestly
functiōs
,
we
should
haue
greatly
honored
thē
still
.
But
as
now
we
perceiue
,
they
were
no
sooner
entertayned
amongst
vs
,
but
they
put
in
practise
their
diuide
&
impera
.
It
seemed
strange
to
some
of
vs
how
at
their
first
entrance
into
our
labours
,
they
exalted
themselues
aboue
vs.
Father
Parsons
comming
hither
with
Maister
Campion
,
and
another
as
their
Prouinciall
,
they
presently
reekoned
of
vs
but
as
their
assistants
,
in
helping
them
to
administer
the
Sacraments
:
as
though
we
could
neither
haue
preached
,
nor
done
any
thing
else
:
and
that
they
our
great
Maisters
were
to
be
further
imployed
in
other
matters
of
greater
importance
then
we
simple
men
were
any
way
fit
for
:
hereof
you
may
reade
in
Fa.
Campions
letter
out
of
England
to
their
Generall
at
Rome
.
But
this
was
then
the
imagination
of
a
few
:
their
drifts
were
deeper
,
then
we
euer
dreamed
of
:
for
misteries
are
hardly
knowne
,
vntill
they
fall
out
into
practise
.
It
is
true
,
that
when
they
came
ouer
with
such
ample
faculties
,
larger
then
they
had
bin
graunted
before
to
any
of
vs
,
wee
might
haue
foreseene
the
inconuenience
of
it
:
knowing
how
apt
we
are
in
England
to
admit
of
nouelties
:
and
likewise
what
before
we
had
heard
of
some
Iesuites
abroade
.
Nay
to
the
aggrauating
of
our
great
ouersight
,
in
that
we
did
not
at
the
first
oppose
our selues
against
them
,
or
at
the
least
seeke
to
haue
them
recalled
from
vs
:
we
may
not
deny
it
but
that
it
was
foretold
vs
by
that
excellent
Cardinall
then
liuing
,
that
the
Iesuites
would
proue
but
thornes
in
our
sides
,
and
be
the
cause
of
great
troubles
amongst
vs.
But
for
our
sinnes
,
they
and
such
of
that
order
as
came
after
them
,
did
by
their
faire
gloses
,
and
pretence
of
zeale
,
so
blinde
and
bewitch
vs
,
as
we
gaue
way
vnto
them
:
whereby
and
through
their
cunning
cariage
with
the
people
,
they
haue
by
little
and
little
caried
all
before
them
.
No
almes
was
thought
sufficiently
meritorious
,
except
they
were
sanctified
by
the
Iesuites
distribution
:
so
as
in
short
time
,
the
greatest
part
of
our
allowances
that
were
in
prison
,
came
vnto
vs
through
the
Iesuites
hands
,
pretending
(
forsooth
)
that
they
were
but
religious
Collectors
for
vs
and
some
others
distressed
Catholicks
.
But
how
faithfully
they
haue
dealt
with
vs
herein
,
when
you
shall
happen
to
see
the
sayd
Memoriall
,
it
will
appeare
vnto
you
.
Some
one
of
them
spendeth
more
yeerely
vpon
himselfe
,
then
would
maynteyne
tenne
of
the
best
of
vs
:
if
we
sayd
twenty
,
we
thinke
there
would
be
no
exception
taken
vnto
it
.
And
to
conclude
,
they
haue
so
dealt
with
vs
,
as
where
before
,
we
were
honored
for
our
works
sake
,
and
had
many
ghostly
children
that
did
depend
vpon
vs
,
as
vpon
their
spirituall
fathers
and
shepeards
of
their
soules
,
we
are
now
through
their
falshood
,
their
calumniations
and
vntrue
suggestions
to
our
superiors
brought
into
contempt
:
our
sayd
children
(
as
if
we
had
bin
but
their
stepfathers
)
haue
forsaken
vs
:
their
charitie
towards
vs
is
so
cold
,
as
we
are
very
hardly
able
to
liue
,
and
what
will
become
hereof
,
God
himself
knoweth
,
and
we
do
greatly
feare
it
.
If
they
had
bin
hired
by
our
common
enemies
to
haue
wrought
vs
mischiefe
,
and
the
cause
we
haue
defended
,
they
could
hardly
haue
done
it
more
artificially
or
effectually
.
And
yet
men
will
not
see
it
:
they
will
not
vnderstand
it
.
You
haue
heard
how
the
Iesuites
became
our
Collectors
,
or
rather
not
ours
,
but
their
owne
:
to
whome
for
their
accompts
the
false
Steward
in
the
Gospell
we
suppose
may
giue
place
.
One
Iesuite
(
as
we
can
proue
it
)
hath
taken
at
times
aboue
500.
pound
that
was
giuen
to
the
imprisoned
Priests
then
at
Wisbich
,
and
imployed
the
same
at
his
owne
pleasure
.
Percye
the
Iesuite
escaping
from
Wisbich
,
tooke
fraudulently
frō
benefactors
abroad
57.
pound
17.
shillings
,
and
the
yeere
after
stole
27.
pound
of
the
common
money
by
the
consent
of
the
other
his
fellow
Iesuites
.
They
haue
so
fleeced
their
fauorers
,
as
ouer
and
aboue
their
owne
expences
(
which
are
exceeding
great
)
they
haue
bin
able
to
send
not
long
since
2200.
pound
towards
the
Low
countries
:
the
prisoners
then
at
Wisbich
being
in
great
want
.
Now
if
you
will
know
how
they
scrape
together
so
much
money
,
you
must
vnderstand
that
they
haue
many
sleights
to
that
end
,
besides
their
apparant
cousenages
,
fraudes
,
and
thefts
before
mentioned
.
You
are
not
ignorant
of
the
meanes
that
Verres
the
Proconsull
vsed
in
pilling
and
spoyling
Sicilia
,
nor
how
odious
it
was
amongst
the
Romanes
:
But
the
course
that
our
Iesuites
do
take
heere
for
their
pillage
both
in
England
&
Scotland
,
are
so
much
more
shamefull
,
as
spirituall
robberies
passe
all
temporall
pilferings
,
we
will
set
downe
vnto
you
three
or
foure
of
their
tricks
.
They
haue
gotten
(
as
they
say
)
certayne
faculties
from
the
Pope
to
abstract
from
what
Parsonages
and
Vicarages
they
list
all
spiritualtie
(
for
preuenting
of
simony
)
thereby
to
make
them
meerely
temporall
and
saleable
,
which
done
,
they
are
to
be
sold
at
the
highest
rates
vpon
pretence
that
the
money
must
be
diuided
betwixt
Saint
Peter
and
poore
prisoners
.
What
Saint
Peter
gets
amongst
them
we
know
not
,
and
we
thinke
but
little
:
sure
we
are
the
poore
prisoners
haue
not
much
:
one
good
Father
or
other
sayth
,
Dominus
opus
habet
,
and
make
alwayes
the
best
part
of
it
their
owne
cleere
gaynes
.
Agayne
,
those
that
come
to
great
wealth
either
by
Vsury
,
or
by
buying
or
selling
,
and
making
gayne
by
anticipation
or
dilation
of
payment
,
or
by
iniustice
,
or
by
taking
more
of
clyents
that
are
suitors
at
the
law
then
their
ordinary
and
moderate
fees
,
or
by
patronizing
any
euill
cause
,
Landlords
,
Sheriffs
officers
,
whosoeuer
high
or
low
that
get
any
thing
falsely
or
indirectly
,
all
must
make
restitution
.
But
forasmuch
as
oftentimes
it
falleth
out
,
that
the
parties
neither
know
how
much
nor
to
whom
such
restitution
is
to
be
made
:
therefore
they
must
in
those
cases
compound
with
the
Fathers
,
giuing
certa
pro
incertis
,
to
the
vse
(
forsooth
)
before
expressed
:
sometimes
one
man
hath
giuen
500.
pound
to
that
end
:
but
Saint
Peter
and
the
poore
do
still
come
short
of
their
share
:
the
Fathers
themselues
do
swallow
it
vp
,
amounting
yeerely
to
a
mighty
summe
of
money
.
Moreouer
to
the
effect
last
mentioned
,
we
haue
a
notable
history
to
tell
you
.
Amongst
many
deuises
which
the
Iesuits
haue
inuented
to
enrich
and
increase
their
order
,
they
haue
one
,
whereof
it
is
fit
that
the
world
should
take
notice
.
It
is
tearmed
by
them
an
holy
exercise
,
and
is
put
in
practise
when
they
finde
any
,
that
are
meet
to
serue
their
turnes
,
either
for
their
extraordinary
pregnancy
of
wit
and
learning
,
or
for
their
parentage
and
friends
,
or
for
their
wealth
and
possessions
,
and
cannot
otherwise
allure
them
to
their
society
.
The
course
which
they
hold
in
the
sayd
exercise
is
after
this
sort
.
When
they
finde
one
,
whome
they
thinke
fit
for
their
turne
;
they
insinuate
themselues
into
him
,
keepe
him
company
,
vse
him
with
all
kinde
of
sweete
behauior
and
curtesy
:
and
pretend
to
haue
an
especiall
care
of
his
well
doing
,
but
principally
how
he
may
attayne
to
be
in
high
fauour
with
God.
To
which
purpose
they
enter
by
degrees
into
certaine
discourses
of
hell
:
wherein
they
omit
none
of
their
skill
by
authorities
,
fables
,
and
large
amplifications
,
to
make
the
same
as
terrible
as
possibly
they
can
.
By
which
course
they
cast
the
party
in
time
into
great
feare
and
pensiuenes
;
which
were
well
done
,
if
it
were
to
a
good
end
.
When
they
haue
held
on
after
this
sort
so
long
as
they
thinke
conuenient
,
intermingling
now
and
then
some
comforts
,
least
otherwise
the
parties
vnder
their
fingers
should
grow
very
weary
of
them
,
then
they
begin
to
be
more
plentifull
in
the
setting
forth
of
such
comfortable
promises
as
are
made
in
the
scriptures
to
the
children
and
saincts
of
God.
Heere
they
omit
no
part
of
their
skill
to
describe
the
Heauens
,
the
Maiestie
and
glory
of
God
,
the
happy
estate
and
ioyes
of
the
Saincts
in
that
euerlasting
kingdome
,
which
is
prepared
for
those
who
in
this
life
shall
embrace
the
Christian
faith
,
and
become
obedient
children
in
their
true
calling
vnto
their
holy
Mother
the
Church
of
Rome
.
Hereunto
they
adde
a
discourse
concerning
the
diuersitie
of
such
callings
as
God
hath
ordeyned
for
his
seruants
and
children
to
walke
in
:
shewing
how
necessary
it
is
for
euery
man
to
vnderstand
and
know
what
calling
that
is
,
which
particularly
belongeth
vnto
himselfe
,
and
what
danger
ensueth
,
when
men
do
rashly
vndertake
any
occasion
,
either
for
profit
or
pleasure
,
to
follow
this
or
that
course
of
life
:
as
when
great
men
,
being
borne
to
great
possessions
,
do
thinke
it
sufficient
for
them
to
follow
the
steps
of
their
Auncestors
:
esteeming
that
to
be
the
calling
which
God
hath
prepared
for
them
:
whereof
it
commeth
to
passe
diuers
times
,
that
they
make
a
shipwrack
of
all
their
estates
,
and
fall
into
many
calamities
,
God
approuing
of
and
sanctifying
no
calling
,
which
is
not
entred
into
by
the
direction
of
his
holy
spirit
.
Many
(
say
they
)
through
their
owne
rashnes
are
spirituall
persons
,
who
ought
by
Gods
ordinance
to
haue
bin
of
the
Layty
:
and
many
on
the
other
side
are
(
as
we
tearme
them
)
Lay
men
,
which
ought
to
be
Ecclesiasticall
:
both
of
them
perishing
in
their
owne
courses
through
their
owne
faults
,
in
that
they
had
no
care
to
learne
and
know
their
owne
proper
callings
ordeyned
for
them
,
which
God
would
haue
sanctified
,
to
their
eternall
comforts
,
if
they
would
haue
vsed
the
meanes
to
haue
vnderstood
and
imbraced
them
.
In
the
description
of
which
meanes
,
the
height
,
the
depth
,
and
the
breadth
of
all
their
cousenage
doth
consist
,
being
the
exercise
it selfe
before
mentioned
.
Of
these
meanes
they
do
at
the
first
speake
only
in
generality
,
entring
into
a
discourse
of
the
louing
kindnes
of
God
,
in
that
he
hath
prepared
a
way
,
whereby
euery
man
that
list
,
may
know
how
to
serue
him
:
whereinto
as
many
as
will
enter
,
may
haue
assurance
in
themselues
by
the
testimony
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
what
their
seuerall
vocations
are
,
whereunto
God
hath
called
them
:
and
which
they
must
vndertake
,
if
euer
they
meane
to
come
into
the
ioyes
and
consolations
of
the
Paradice
of
God.
Thus
after
they
haue
layd
these
ginnes
,
no
meruaile
if
the
parties
so
kindly
and
cunningly
caried
on
,
do
fall
into
their
traps
.
Howbeit
you
must
obserue
that
in
all
these
discourses
made
to
such
parties
,
they
carry
themselues
so
aloofe
,
as
that
there
may
be
no
suspition
of
their
intents
to
draw
them
by
such
their
practises
to
be
of
their
sócietie
.
So
as
when
the
poore
soules
(
as
rauished
with
a
desire
to
attayne
vnto
the
sayd
meanes
or
exercise
so
highlie
commended
,
and
so
necessary
as
they
suppose
,
for
all
that
truly
thirst
after
the
kingdome
of
God
and
ioyes
of
Heauen
)
do
intreate
the
holy
Fathers
,
that
they
may
be
receiued
into
that
happie
and
blessed
exercise
;
their
motion
in
that
behalfe
the
good
Fathers
at
the
first
seeme
little
to
regard
:
saying
,
that
peraduenture
this
their
desire
proceedeth
of
passion
:
and
therefore
their
manner
is
to
leaue
them
in
this
sort
for
the
first
time
:
adding
,
with
what
deliberation
and
iudgement
that
sacred
exercise
is
to
be
vndertaken
,
as
being
the
ladder
of
Iacob
,
whereby
they
may
ascend
into
the
third
Heauen
,
and
there
see
and
behold
the
admirable
mysteries
of
God.
If
the
partie
thus
caught
be
of
great
possessions
,
wealth
,
or
parentage
,
they
are
much
the
sooner
intreated
to
admit
him
to
this
exercise
:
the
manner
whereof
is
as
followeth
.
The
partie
at
the
time
appointed
,
comming
to
the
holy
Father
who
must
deale
with
him
,
is
recluded
from
the
speech
of
any
body
but
the
sayd
Father
for
a
certaine
time
.
Vpon
his
first
reclusion
the
Father
commeth
vnto
him
,
and
giueth
him
a
meditation
to
study
vpon
for
some
foure
or
fiue
houres
:
willing
him
in
the
meane
while
carefullie
to
remember
all
the
cogitations
that
do
come
into
his
minde
.
The
sayd
foure
or
fiue
houres
expired
,
in
commeth
this
good
Father
:
and
then
the
partie
must
be
confessed
,
and
is
to
reueale
all
his
particular
thoughts
of
what
matter
soeuer
good
or
bad
that
came
into
his
head
,
all
the
time
of
his
aforesayd
meditation
.
Which
done
,
the
Father
giueth
the
partie
an
other
meditation
with
the
like
instructions
to
the
former
:
and
after
the
like
distance
of
time
returning
,
heareth
his
confession
.
And
thus
the
partie
is
exercised
diuers
times
,
euery
day
the
space
of
nine
dayes
or
thereabouts
.
In
which
time
the
holy
Father
hauing
framed
the
sayd
meditations
according
to
his
owne
drift
:
for
example
:
if
the
partie
be
rich
,
then
of
the
contempt
of
the
world
,
and
the
vanitie
of
worldly
riches
:
and
further
perceiuing
by
his
confessions
,
his
disposition
,
and
what
effect
the
sayd
meditations
haue
wrought
,
and
are
likely
in
the
end
to
worke
in
him
,
which
alwayes
must
be
the
forsaking
of
the
world
,
as
they
tearme
it
;
and
for
the
most
part
,
if
they
finde
him
by
this
triall
,
a
fit
man
for
the
entrance
into
some
profession
of
religion
:
then
he
telleth
him
a
long
tale
of
the
fruit
of
his
sayd
exercise
,
as
that
he
well
perceiueth
by
his
sundry
confessions
,
how
the
spirit
of
God
hath
wrought
in
him
by
the
meanes
of
his
sayd
meditations
,
and
that
he
now
supposeth
him
to
be
fit
to
enter
into
the
consideration
and
choice
of
that
calling
,
whereunto
God
himselfe
hath
ordeined
him
,
to
leade
his
life
and
walke
in
towards
the
attaynement
of
euerlasting
happines
.
Whereupon
the
partie
hath
time
to
consider
with
himselfe
,
whether
he
will
be
a
Dominican
,
a
Benedict
,
a
Iesuite
,
a
Frier
,
or
what
he
list
.
Which
time
expired
,
the
holy
Father
entreth
into
a
new
stratageme
.
The
sayd
partie
so
exercised
(
as
is
before
expressed
)
comming
thus
vnto
his
election
,
hath
peraduenture
determined
to
be
a
Dominican
,
or
to
take
some
such
other
course
as
he
himselfe
hath
thought
of
.
So
as
when
the
sayd
holy
Father
commeth
vnto
him
,
if
he
finde
him
bent
to
any
other
profession
,
then
to
be
a
Iesuite
,
he
beginneth
to
cast
many
doubts
,
and
collecteth
at
his
pleasure
by
something
that
he
hath
confessed
vnto
him
,
that
his
sayd
choice
is
not
agreeable
to
such
godly
motions
,
as
the
spirit
of
God
wrought
in
him
in
the
time
of
his
exercise
,
and
therefore
aduiseth
him
to
consider
with
himselfe
better
of
his
choice
,
that
the
same
may
be
sutable
to
the
sayd
motions
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
The
conclusion
is
,
that
the
holy
Fathers
by
this
meanes
,
hauing
sundry
poore
soules
in
their
hands
to
worke
them
by
terrors
,
deuises
,
and
perswasions
(
as
they
list
)
neuer
leaue
them
,
or
suffer
them
to
be
quiet
,
vntill
(
if
it
be
possible
)
they
make
choice
to
be
of
the
societie
of
Iesus
:
if
in
all
these
practises
with
them
,
they
finde
them
fit
men
for
their
turne
.
Howbeit
sometimes
it
commeth
to
passe
that
the
sayd
deuout
Fathers
do
meete
with
such
persons
,
as
will
rather
choose
to
be
of
some
other
order
,
do
what
they
can
,
then
to
be
Iesuites
.
In
which
cases
,
when
their
practises
to
winne
the
parties
for
their
learning
,
strength
of
wit
,
parentage
,
and
other
good
parts
more
then
ordinary
do
fayle
,
they
desist
from
dealing
with
them
by
little
and
little
,
and
so
in
the
end
giue
thē
quite
ouer
,
meaning
nothing
lesse
,
then
by
such
their
paines
to
increase
the
number
of
any
other
order
of
religious
persons
,
and
so
leaue
them
to
take
what
course
they
list
:
but
with
this
fruit
of
their
exercises
,
that
they
will
neuer
loue
or
induce
them
afterwards
,
but
rayle
on
them
,
and
plague
them
as
much
as
possiblie
they
can
.
If
the
parties
were
vndertaken
by
them
for
their
wealth
and
large
possessions
,
when
they
come
to
their
election
,
commonly
their
riches
,
and
their
sayd
possessions
are
a
hinderance
vnto
them
from
entring
into
any
religious
profession
.
For
the
remouing
of
which
obstacle
,
the
holy
Fathers
are
furnished
with
many
texts
of
scripture
:
as
of
giuing
all
and
following
Iesus
&c.
and
do
for
the
most
part
so
farrepreuaile
,
as
either
they
allure
them
to
be
ecclesiasticall
Iesuites
,
if
they
haue
any
tolerable
gifts
besides
their
riches
:
and
then
all
that
they
haue
must
be
sold
,
and
the
money
committed
to
the
Fathers
discretions
,
or
at
the
least
they
draw
them
to
be
lay
brethren
,
finding
no
other
good
stuffe
in
them
.
In
which
case
they
get
from
them
either
all
,
or
the
most
part
of
their
riches
,
and
turne
them
either
to
be
some
of
their
officers
,
or
leaue
them
at
large
to
be
practisers
for
them
in
such
matters
as
they
thinke
fit
to
imploy
them
in
abroad
:
as
to
be
solicitors
for
them
,
and
to
stirre
vp
the
charitie
of
the
people
towards
that
societie
,
not
ceasing
to
perswade
as
many
as
they
can
to
follow
their
examples
.
And
this
was
the
effect
of
one
M.
Gilberts
,
and
one
Maister
Druries
exercises
and
some
others
:
viz.
they
got
from
them
all
they
had
,
and
then
imploying
them
as
is
before
expressed
,
procured
the
Popes
blessing
for
them
,
for
the
better
approuing
vnto
them
of
that
their
new
calling
:
as
appeareth
in
the
faculties
graunted
to
Parsons
,
Campion
,
Heywood
,
and
the
rest
about
twenty
yeeres
since
.
The
euidence
of
which
proceedings
with
the
sayd
Gentlemen
,
was
so
apparant
and
manifest
vnto
many
,
that
disliked
greatly
of
such
kinde
of
exercises
,
as
that
some
in
iest
would
say
:
such
a
one
is
Gilberted
,
and
such
a
one
is
Druryed
:
and
others
to
the
like
effect
:
they
shall
neuer
Gilbert
me
,
nor
Drury
me
,
nor
cousen
me
with
such
their
holy
sleights
.
An
other
yong
Gentleman
not
long
since
,
entring
into
this
exercise
vnder
a
yong
Iesuite
here
in
England
,
was
found
by
his
meditations
to
haue
lands
yet
vnsold
,
worth
a
hundreth
marks
a
yeare
,
which
hindred
his
iourney
to
heauen
.
Whereupon
he
offering
the
same
to
the
sayd
yong
Iesuite
,
the
good
Father
allowing
the
offer
,
sayd
,
that
if
he
should
receiue
the
land
,
her
Maiestie
would
take
it
from
him
:
but
(
quoth
he
)
sell
it
,
and
then
I
am
capable
of
the
money
.
By
which
ghostly
counsaile
the
Gentleman
set
his
land
to
sale
,
and
was
offred
900.
pound
for
it
:
but
the
holy
Father
insisting
vpon
a
1000.
pound
,
the
Gentleman
dyed
before
a
chapman
could
be
gotten
,
and
so
the
good
Father
lost
all
.
I
omit
how
many
poore
yong
men
,
falling
into
these
good
Fathers
hands
to
be
exercised
,
haue
fallen
into
sundry
inconueniences
,
and
growne
to
be
broken-brayned
euer
after
.
The
truth
is
,
that
amongst
many
deurses
which
they
haue
to
enrich
themselues
,
this
is
not
one
of
the
least
,
which
being
now
knowne
,
may
peraduenture
be
a
hinderance
vnto
them
hereafter
,
and
driue
both
Father
Garnet
and
his
yonkers
to
leaue
their
coaches
and
stables
of
horses
,
and
to
be
glad
to
walke
on
foote
as
their
betters
do
.
We
haue
troubled
you
long
in
this
matter
of
Iesuiticall
gayning
:
and
yet
if
you
will
beare
with
vs
a
little
longer
,
we
will
informe
you
of
an
other
deuise
,
not
in
esse
,
but
in
spe
:
marry
it
is
very
royall
,
and
may
be
tearmed
an
Imperiall
hunting
,
such
a
one
as
was
neuer
seene
on
earth
before
,
pursued
by
any
religious
person
whosoeuer
,
since
Nimrod
the
Gyant
hunted
;
qui
erat
robustus
venator
coram
Domino
,
who
was
a
very
rough
huntlman
.
Of
this
kinde
of
hunting
,
there
is
a
iust
Volume
set
forth
by
Father
Parsons
and
his
Generall
,
called
the
high
Counsell
of
reformation
for
England
to
take
place
and
be
in
force
,
when
the
Catholik
conquerer
shal
be
established
in
great
Britaine
.
First
,
no
religious
order
will
that
famous
Volume
permit
in
great
Britaine
,
but
Iesuites
,
and
Capuchines
:
Benedictines
,
Carthusians
,
nor
Dominicans
must
enter
here
,
sicut
placuit
Iesuitis
:
for
the
holy
Ghost
hath
forsaken
all
religious
orders
,
and
is
only
in
the
Capuchines
and
Iesuites
.
If
you
aske
vs
why
they
make
choice
of
the
Capuchines
only
?
We
answere
you
,
as
a
good
Capuchine
did
to
the
like
question
.
We
sute
best
(
quoth
he
)
with
the
humor
of
the
Iesuites
:
for
their
drift
is
to
haue
and
rule
all
;
and
on
the
contrary
,
our
orders
are
such
,
as
we
must
neither
rule
at
all
,
nor
haue
any
thing
.
These
Iesuites
(
homines
secundum
cor
meum
,
as
God
sayd
of
Dauid
)
do
professe
voluntarie
pouertie
,
and
to
renounce
the
world
,
with
all
that
belongeth
thereto
.
But
yet
so
mortified
they
are
,
that
with
the
worlds
weapons
they
will
conquer
the
world
.
In
these
three
Kingdomes
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
there
are
100.
Bishopricks
great
and
small
:
how
many
Parsonages
and
Vicarages
,
and
how
many
religious
Monasteries
,
it
is
hard
to
tell
.
All
which
must
be
no
more
in
the
hands
of
Bishops
,
Abbots
,
Parsons
,
and
the
rest
,
as
heretofore
it
was
accustomed
.
But
all
the
holy
societie
of
Iesus
,
their
father
Prouinciall
must
cull
out
foure
Iesuites
,
and
two
secular
Priests
,
which
must
be
demy
Iesuites
.
These
sixe
Vicars
,
these
mightie
great
Lords
,
shall
haue
the
Lands
,
Mannors
,
Lordships
,
Parsonages
,
Monasteries
,
and
whatsoeuer
,
into
their
owne
hands
;
allowing
the
Bishops
,
Parsons
and
Vicars
competent
stipends
or
pensions
,
sicut
plasuit
Iesuitis
,
as
the
Romanes
in
their
leagues
were
wont
to
write
.
All
the
rest
must
be
imployed
in
pios
vsus
,
as
father
Generall
of
Rome
shall
thinke
good
.
The
Colleges
in
both
Vniuersities
must
be
so
likewise
in
the
power
of
these
mortified
creatures
:
no
Bishop
,
no
Parson
,
or
Vicar
,
no
fellow
of
any
Colledge
must
be
so
hardy
as
once
to
demaund
an
accompt
what
is
become
of
their
reuenues
,
Lands
,
and
Lordships
.
If
they
do
,
this
shall
be
the
answere
,
mirantur
superiores
&c.
The
Nobilitie
must
be
limited
also
what
retinue
they
shall
keepe
:
what
they
shall
haue
to
spend
yeerely
,
and
what
diet
they
shall
keepe
at
their
Tables
.
Lastly
,
the
common
lawes
of
our
countrie
must
be
abolished
,
and
the
ciuill
beare
the
sway
another
while
:
those
are
barbarous
:
these
are
learned
,
and
of
more
excellencie
;
happie
is
he
that
can
see
this
booke
,
called
the
Counsell
of
Reformation
:
where
hee
may
reade
these
wonderfull
platformes
of
Iesuiticall
gouernment
,
deuised
by
the
second
Nimrod
,
the
Smiths
sonne
of
Stockgersee
,
or
rather
the
Parsons
sonne
of
that
parish
,
expelled
from
Balioll
Colledge
for
his
illegitimation
,
of
whom
,
anon
.
In
the
writing
of
this
discourse
,
we
were
not
ignorant
into
what
a
sea
of
Iesuiticall
calumniations
we
haue
launched
.
For
they
haue
an
other
position
not
yet
mentioned
:
and
it
is
:
That
detraction
in
generall
is
lawfull
:
as
if
a
Iesuite
should
say
,
that
amongst
the
prisoners
at
Wisbich
,
there
were
many
and
so
grieuous
enormities
,
as
that
Father
Weston
and
his
adherents
were
constrayned
to
separate
themselues
from
the
other
Priests
:
and
being
charged
to
name
some
particulars
,
or
else
if
he
could
not
,
he
was
to
be
reckoned
for
a
detractor
,
and
therein
to
haue
offended
greatly
in
slaundering
the
whole
house
,
he
should
answere
:
Nay
my
words
were
generall
,
and
therefore
I
offended
not
.
But
what
talke
we
of
their
generall
calumniations
:
wee
shall
be
sure
to
haue
their
particular
commendations
cast
abroade
against
vs
with
heue
and
ho
in
a
mischiefe
,
as
we
haue
indured
many
of
their
thunderbolts
alreadie
.
Howbeit
,
as
we
regard
it
not
,
so
do
we
not
wonder
at
it
,
considering
their
dealing
with
all
men
that
offend
them
,
be
he
whom
he
shall
,
Bishop
,
or
Cardinall
:
yea
or
the
Pope
himselfe
,
they
care
not
.
Maister
Doctor
Gifford
,
a
man
of
very
good
desert
,
did
but
a
little
offend
them
,
in
not
admiring
of
them
and
their
designements
,
and
shortly
after
they
deuised
sundry
most
vile
and
vniust
accusations
against
him
:
they
defamed
him
in
England
for
a
sower
of
sedition
,
charging
him
further
,
to
be
an
informer
against
the
Iesuites
,
and
the
exhibiter
of
the
memoriall
to
the
Pope
.
They
procured
him
to
be
examined
before
the
Nuncio
in
the
Low
countries
,
who
after
long
delayes
,
affirmed
in
plaine
tearmes
that
the
Doctor
had
wrog
.
Fayling
of
their
purpose
against
him
this
way
,
Father
Baldwyn
,
a
man
of
the
right
stampe
,
dealt
with
the
Nuncio
for
a
generall
pacification
and
remission
on
all
sides
:
whereunto
the
Doctor
at
the
Nuncio
his
intreatie
yeelded
.
And
first
by
order
taken
in
that
behalfe
,
the
sayd
Baldwyn
in
the
name
of
Father
Parsons
,
and
all
that
societie
,
asked
him
forgiuenes
:
and
the
Doctor
for
his
part
in
ciuilitie
performed
as
much
:
with
this
addition
,
if
he
had
offended
any
of
them
.
Which
being
done
,
the
Nuncio
commaunded
them
both
to
be
secret
of
what
had
passed
in
fauour
indeed
of
the
Iesuites
.
Which
commaundement
the
Doctor
obeyed
:
but
Father
Baldwyn
omitting
what
he
had
done
in
the
name
of
the
rest
,
instantly
gaue
it
forth
after
a
glorious
sort
,
that
the
Doctor
had
asked
father
Parsons
and
the
Iesuites
forgiuenes
:
and
thereby
to
disgrace
him
a
new
,
and
to
make
their
former
iniuries
done
vnto
him
more
probable
,
they
caused
the
same
to
be
openly
promulgated
out
of
the
Pulpit
in
the
Colledge
at
Rhemes
.
So
shamelesse
(
you
see
)
they
are
,
as
the
very
Pulpits
are
prophaned
by
them
,
when
it
standeth
them
in
hand
to
mayntayne
their
reputations
per
fas
aut
nefas
they
care
not
how
.
One
Fisher
a
yong
man
going
to
Rome
with
some
such
messages
from
certayne
of
our
brethren
,
as
were
not
acceptable
to
these
good
Fathers
,
after
they
had
very
cunningly
vsed
him
,
to
wring
from
him
what
they
were
able
that
might
serue
their
turnes
,
they
sent
him
to
the
Gallyes
at
Naples
,
where
he
remayneth
a
gally-slaue
(
as
we
are
informed
)
if
he
be
yet
aliue
.
An
other
of
our
brethren
a
Priest
,
in
that
he
opposed
himselfe
in
some
things
to
certayne
of
that
order
,
they
haue
persecuted
him
euer
since
with
such
mallce
,
as
he
could
remayne
in
no
place
in
England
with
any
Catholick
,
but
they
hunted
him
thence
with
one
lye
or
other
,
giuing
it
out
,
when
nothing
else
would
serue
,
that
he
was
a
spy
for
the
State
,
to
bring
them
to
their
vtter
ruyne
.
In
so
much
as
not
daring
to
go
beyond
the
seas
,
knowing
(
as
after
he
hath
professed
)
that
there
they
had
layd
their
snares
,
either
for
his
imprisonment
or
murthering
,
he
was
driuen
to
go
into
Scotland
,
and
to
hide
his
head
there
.
Hereunto
we
might
adde
a
long
catalogue
of
aboue
a
hundreth
persons
by
name
of
this
Iland
,
whom
these
extraordinarilie
illuminated
Fathers
haue
most
lewdlie
and
falsely
slaundered
,
because
they
disliked
of
sundry
their
Machiauilian
proceedings
.
But
here
we
omit
them
,
referring
the
further
discourse
here
of
to
him
,
who
hath
already
made
a
particular
Register
of
them
.
The
Bishop
of
Cassane
Doctor
Lewes
,
was
a
man
by
whom
the
Iesuites
had
receiued
very
extraordinary
benefit
.
By
his
procurement
they
got
the
Rectorship
of
our
English
Seminarie
in
Rome
,
God
forgiue
his
soule
for
it
,
as
we
trust
he
hath
.
He
was
a
man
so
fauored
by
diuers
Popes
,
as
first
he
was
made
Monseignior
,
then
Bishop
of
Cassane
,
afterwards
Nuncio
for
Gregory
14.
to
Lucerna
,
and
then
Visitor
generall
of
Rome
and
all
the
Popes
dominions
.
When
two
and
twenty
Iesuites
should
all
of
them
bin
banished
out
of
the
Citie
of
Perugio
for
their
cunning
fishing
to
enrich
themselues
,
one
of
them
being
notoriously
detected
for
alluring
a
Gentlewoman
to
giue
them
a
very
rich
chayne
of
pearle
without
her
husbands
priuitie
:
this
prouident
good
Bishop
being
their
generall
Visitor
,
vsed
such
meanes
,
as
all
that
matter
was
husht
,
and
they
continued
there
still
.
We
should
be
too
long
if
we
should
remember
vnto
you
all
the
benefits
which
the
Iesuites
in
Rome
and
else-where
from
time
to
time
receiued
at
his
hands
:
all
the
which
notwithstanding
,
yea
though
they
had
bin
a
thousand
more
,
the
kinde
Fathers
could
not
indure
him
,
because
in
their
garboyles
at
Rome
about
the
Students
in
the
English
Seminary
,
he
disliked
their
courses
and
practises
with
them
.
Hence
it
proceeded
,
that
whilest
he
was
aliue
they
caused
their
disciples
to
rayle
vpon
him
most
despitefully
:
tearming
him
a
factious
,
an
ambitious
,
and
a
partiall
man.
And
a
little
before
his
death
they
amongst
them
cast
out
a
Libell
against
him
,
which
was
brought
vnto
him
,
wherein
they
layd
many
horrible
crymes
to
his
charge
,
and
in
the
course
of
their
hote
charitie
,
made
this
deuoute
prayer
full
like
themselues
,
vel
Turca
vel
mors
vel
Damon
eum
eripiat
ànobis
:
and
indeede
not
long
after
he
dyed
:
we
leaue
it
to
Gods
iudgement
,
whether
they
were
the
causers
of
it
,
or
not
.
But
being
dead
,
when
in
all
humanitie
their
malice
should
haue
bin
buryed
with
him
,
they
ceased
not
,
notwithstanding
to
follow
his
happie
memorie
with
their
Iesuiticall
calumniations
,
and
that
most
irreligiously
.
For
whereas
the
good
Bishop
not
foure
houres
before
his
death
,
vpon
occasion
protested
that
he
had
bin
most
falsely
charged
with
vpholding
,
and
mayntayning
the
Students
in
the
English
Seminary
against
the
Iesuites
:
yet
that
impious
caytife
Father
Parsons
in
a
letter
dated
the
13-of
July
1598.
and
sent
hither
into
England
not
to
be
kept
secret
,
writeth
of
him
after
his
slye
fashion
in
this
sort
.
A
third
cause
(
sayth
he
)
there
was
,
meaning
of
the
Students
opposing
themselues
against
the
Iesuites
,
no
lesse
important
perhaps
then
any
of
the
rest
,
or
more
then
both
together
:
which
was
a
certaine
disgust
giuen
at
the
very
foundation
of
the
Colledge
,
vnto
a
certayne
principall
man
of
our
Nation
,
and
his
friends
then
resident
in
Rome
,
who
afterward
not
affecting
greatly
the
gouernment
or
gouernors
of
the
sayd
Colledge
,
was
euer
in
re
,
or
in
opinion
,
a
back
vnto
them
that
would
be
discontented
.
Thus
farre
this
charitable
Father
against
this
blessed
Bishop
now
in
Heauen
,
and
contrary
to
his
profession
vpon
his
death-bed
:
who
when
he
was
aliue
,
might
if
he
had
bin
disposed
,
haue
curbed
many
of
that
crew
,
being
their
Visitor
generall
,
and
peraduenture
curried
a
little
before-time
this
good
Father
for
many
insolencies
:
but
a
milder
man
liued
not
,
or
one
more
apt
to
put
vp
and
forgiue
all
iniuries
:
and
of
purpose
he
refrayned
for
visiting
of
that
crew
,
because
he
knowing
their
hard
conceits
of
him
,
would
not
giue
them
any
occasion
to
say
,
he
was
partiall
,
if
he
should
haue
dealt
more
roundly
with
them
.
But
by
the
way
you
may
obserue
out
of
Parsons
words
,
that
this
good
Bishop
had
a
dislike
of
the
Iesuiticall
gouernment
and
gouernors
of
the
English
Colledge
in
Rome
:
so
as
we
are
not
the
men
alone
that
haue
thought
amisse
of
both
.
Peraduenture
you
may
see
hereafter
the
very
exhibits
themselues
,
which
the
Iesuites
presented
vnto
him
,
as
their
Visitor
,
one
against
another
,
and
then
it
will
appeare
vnto
you
what
little
cause
he
found
to
magnifie
either
their
persons
,
or
their
gouernment
.
The
most
blessed
Cardinall
Doctor
Allane
,
a
man
most
reuerenced
of
our
Nation
(
and
very
worthilie
,
one
or
two
actions
excepted
,
whereunto
hee
was
drawne
by
Father
Parsons
)
in
the
end
passed
not
vntouched
by
the
Iesuites
:
because
in
very
deede
he
daily
saw
further
into
them
,
then
he
had
done
:
and
therefore
not
only
disliked
,
but
disfauored
diuers
their
proceedings
,
especially
towards
his
latter
end
.
In
which
respect
,
that
they
might
be
euen
with
him
in
some
sort
,
they
gaue
out
sundry
disgracefull
words
against
him
,
as
that
he
was
a
good
simple
man
,
but
not
of
any
esteeme
or
reckoning
in
matters
or
affayres
handled
in
the
Popes
Consistory
,
a
man
of
weake
aduice
,
and
neuer
vsed
but
a
little
for
some
matters
of
learning
.
And
such
was
their
hatred
towards
him
,
as
it
was
verily
thought
by
many
in
Rome
that
he
was
poysoned
:
which
conceit
the
Rector
then
Hieronimo
Florauantio
a
Iesuite
,
would
gladly
haue
turned
from
his
societie
vpon
the
good
Bishop
of
Cassane
,
but
ridiculously
indeede
,
though
malitiously
inough
.
When
this
worthie
Cardinall
lay
vpon
his
death-bed
,
he
would
gladly
haue
had
al
the
English
Students
to
haue
come
vnto
him
:
but
this
good
Rector
would
not
yeeld
vnto
it
,
for
what
cause
God
knoweth
.
God
will
at
one
day
iudge
all
hypocrites
,
and
bring
their
secret
mischiefes
to
light
.
Vpon
the
death
of
this
so
memorable
a
person
they
openly
triumphed
,
and
amongst
other
their
Iesuiticall
calumniations
against
him
,
sayd
,
that
God
had
taken
him
away
in
good
time
:
for
if
he
had
liued
longer
,
he
would
haue
disgraced
himselfe
,
and
lost
the
credit
which
he
had
got
.
These
men
haue
the
best
fortune
in
the
world
:
for
no
man
if
once
they
begin
to
hate
him
doth
liue
any
long
time
after
it
:
quo
artificio
viderint
ipsi
.
Furthermore
,
concerning
these
two
notable
persons
,
the
Iesuites
haue
practised
an
other
of
their
rules
vpon
them
.
As
to
aduance
themselues
,
they
traduce
all
others
,
discommending
their
gifts
,
abilities
,
gouernment
,
learning
,
discretion
,
pollicie
,
and
all
other
good
qualities
in
them
:
as
who
should
say
,
we
are
the
only
men
that
are
to
be
accompted
of
,
honored
,
extolled
,
and
admired
by
all
sorts
in
all
places
:
so
haue
they
a
trick
to
aduaunce
one
and
the
same
mens
credits
,
whom
before
they
haue
to
an
other
end
most
notoriously
disgraced
and
slaundered
,
when
it
may
serue
their
turnes
to
worke
some
inconuenience
or
hinderance
to
a
third
person
,
whom
likewise
they
do
maligne
and
hate
.
For
example
,
to
hinder
and
discountenance
the
Bishop
of
Cassanes
Nephew
Monsegnior
Hugh
Griffyn
,
they
commended
his
Vnckle
exceedingly
,
to
insinuate
that
he
did
farre
degenerate
from
his
Vnckles
vertues
.
And
on
the
other
side
after
the
death
of
Cardinall
Allane
,
when
they
feared
that
the
Bishop
of
Cassane
should
haue
had
his
place
,
and
bin
made
Cardinall
,
besides
their
reports
of
his
enmitie
to
their
societie
,
and
stirring
vp
all
their
garboyles
in
the
sayd
Colledge
,
they
spared
not
to
spreade
it
abroade
,
as
men
that
had
worshipped
Cardinall
Allane
,
and
loued
him
with
their
whole
harts
,
that
the
said
Bishop
of
Cassane
could
neuer
indure
him
the
said
Cardinall
,
but
was
euer
his
enemy
,
and
had
wrought
him
much
woe
and
griefe
in
his
time
.
Whereupon
to
make
that
Machiuilean
report
the
more
odious
,
and
to
blemish
the
good
opinion
had
of
the
Bishop
thereby
to
trump
in
his
way
,
till
he
was
triced
indeed
out
of
their
way
:
they
entred
into
a
large
discourse
of
his
extraordinary
singularities
:
how
beneficiall
he
had
bin
to
their
Colledge
:
how
much
he
was
esteemed
of
all
Princes
in
Europe
that
knew
him
:
how
deerely
he
had
bin
accompted
of
by
the
Popes
holynes
,
and
by
other
Popes
his
predecessors
:
how
his
greatest
care
was
euer
bent
for
the
good
of
his
Countrie
,
for
the
reducing
of
the
same
to
the
Catholick
faith
:
what
great
honor
he
had
in
the
Court
of
Rome
:
how
much
he
was
admired
by
the
rest
of
the
Cardinals
,
and
how
highly
reuerenced
alwayes
by
themselues
.
All
which
particular
points
,
sauing
the
last
were
most
true
,
and
ought
to
haue
their
true
vse
,
as
we
hold
of
all
the
good
words
and
confessions
and
reports
made
and
giuen
out
by
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
and
by
the
Diuell
himselfe
of
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
though
they
did
the
same
to
a
wicked
purpose
to
haue
dishonored
or
intangled
him
in
his
speeches
or
otherwise
,
if
by
any
meanes
they
had
bin
able
:
as
these
good
fellowes
dealt
with
the
good
Cardinall
,
not
that
they
so
deemed
of
him
,
as
their
words
imported
,
but
only
to
hinder
the
sayd
Bishop
,
as
we
haue
sayd
,
from
the
preferment
they
feared
and
was
like
enough
would
haue
been
layd
vpon
him
,
if
he
had
liued
:
being
forsooth
a
man
no
way
fit
for
it
,
that
had
opposed
himselfe
in
faction
to
so
worthie
and
high
a
Prelate
.
But
what
doe
we
insist
vpon
their
malice
and
slaunders
against
meaner
men
,
nay
this
good
Bishop
and
this
most
renowned
Cardinall
,
when
they
fauour
not
their
Iesuiticall
doings
?
We
will
proceede
to
their
presumptions
against
the
Popes
themselues
.
Xistus
5.
called
before
him
the
Generall
of
the
Iesuits
,
and
demaunded
of
him
,
why
they
called
themselues
Iesuits
:
who
answered
,
that
they
did
not
so
call
themselues
,
but
onely
Clarkes
of
the
societie
of
Iesus
.
To
whom
the
Pope
replying
,
sayd
:
why
should
you
appropriate
your selues
to
be
of
the
societie
of
Iesus
,
more
then
all
other
Christians
,
of
whom
the
Apostle
saith
:
Vocati
sumus
in
societatem
filij
eius
?
And
whereas
the
Benedictines
,
are
so
called
of
their
first
author
Benedictus
,
and
the
Dominicans
of
Dominicus
their
founder
,
why
should
not
you
be
called
Ignatiani
,
according
to
the
first
author
,
and
also
keepe
the
Quier
,
and
rise
at
midnight
,
and
in
all
things
doe
as
other
religious
men
doe
?
These
words
of
the
Pope
they
tooke
so
grieuously
,
as
he
liued
but
a
short
time
after
(
to
omit
what
hath
been
reported
)
and
after
his
death
,
they
haue
not
ceased
very
wickedly
to
depraue
him
.
Some
of
them
preached
openly
against
him
in
Spaine
:
they
haue
tearmed
him
a
Wolfe
,
and
said
he
was
a
Lutheran
.
It
was
giuen
forth
by
them
;
that
if
he
had
liued
a
little
longer
,
he
would
haue
vndone
al
Christendome
.
They
called
the
manner
of
his
death
into
question
,
and
reported
that
at
his
departure
he
had
no
confessor
with
him
.
Bellarmine
himselfe
hearing
of
his
death
,
vsed
these
words
:
Qui
sine
poenitentia
viuit
&
sine
poenitentia
moritur
,
procul
dubio
ad
inferna
descendit
.
Of
likeliehoode
it
is
a
matter
of
damnation
,
to
indeuour
to
bring
some
Iesuits
into
order
,
without
great
pennance
done
for
it
.
But
for
this
worthie
person
,
now
a
Cardinall
,
wee
will
not
take
vpon
vs
to
interpret
his
meaning
:
marry
that
another
miscreant
in
respect
of
any
order
should
slaunder
Christs
late
Vicar
vpon
earth
,
being
so
worthie
a
Bishop
in
his
time
,
as
his
deedes
will
louud
out
his
praise
,
whilest
Rome
standeth
;
wee
hold
it
intolerable
,
had
they
been
the
best
Iesuits
that
now
liue
,
who
should
haue
so
disgraced
him
.
But
the
chiefe
poynt
that
we
meant
to
obserue
vnto
you
in
one
of
these
lewde
companions
speeches
,
is
;
how
vpon
some
opposition
and
obiections
made
against
some
of
his
slaunderous
reports
of
that
worthy
Pope
,
he
fell
to
the
maintenance
of
this
most
wicked
assertion
,
Hominem
non
christianum
posse
esse
Romanum
pontificem
:
and
yet
this
proposition
is
not
reuoked
,
nor
the
graund
Archpriest
hath
censured
him
for
it
;
who
is
so
readie
to
punish
others
his
auncients
,
and
as
obedient
and
honest
men
as
himselfe
,
that
wee
goe
no
further
.
The
Bishop
of
Cassane
so
oft
before
mentioned
,
being
the
generall
Visitor
in
Rome
of
all
religious
men
,
had
manie
accusations
exhibited
vnto
him
by
the
Iesuits
,
one
against
another
,
and
manie
petitions
,
desiring
him
to
come
and
visite
them
.
With
these
complaints
&
iarres
amongst
them
,
the
Bishop
acquainted
Pope
Clement
that
now
is
.
Whereupon
at
the
next
generall
Chapter
held
by
the
Iesuits
,
his
holinesse
attended
with
the
said
Bishop
of
Cassane
,
and
foure
or
fiue
Bishops
more
,
went
into
their
house
,
&
rebuked
them
sharpely
for
their
pride
,
and
for
their
disorderly
apparrell
,
and
for
their
prodigalitie
,
charging
them
earnestlie
to
be
more
humble
,
and
to
frame
the
course
of
their
liues
and
behauiour
hereafter
more
like
religious
men
,
thē
they
did
at
that
time
.
How
these
words
were
taken
by
the
Fathers
,
wee
make
no
doubt
:
with
indignation
inough
you
may
be
sure
:
and
since
(
as
we
fuppose
)
some
of
that
societie
haue
beene
so
bold
with
his
holinesse
,
as
they
haue
affirmed
peremptorily
,
that
he
erred
in
absoluing
the
French
king
that
now
is
,
being
deceiued
by
his
Diuines
.
Of
likelihood
they
were
not
of
the
Popes
counsell
in
that
action
,
to
haue
giuen
him
better
direction
.
But
the
said
absolution
did
so
much
tend
to
the
preiudice
of
the
king
of
Spaine
,
and
to
their
deseignments
with
him
,
as
no
meruaile
if
they
doe
so
caluminate
it
:
daring
by
their
rule
of
ordine
ad
Deum
,
to
doe
and
speake
almost
what
they
list
.
Now
if
these
men
may
presume
thus
far
with
so
famous
men
,
Bishops
,
Cardinals
,
and
with
the
Popes
themselues
,
vpon
so
small
occasions
,
how
will
they
crucifie
vs
poore
wretches
,
that
haue
beene
thus
bold
with
their
worships
.
And
yet
if
the
worst
should
fall
out
,
hauing
such
companie
to
vndergoe
with
vs
,
the
malice
and
spite
of
their
lauish
tongues
:
the
griefe
wil
be
the
lesse
.
Wee
pray
God
from
the
bottome
of
our
hearts
,
that
they
may
follow
the
counsaile
of
his
holines
,
and
become
more
lowlie
in
their
owne
eyes
:
for
otherwise
some
great
inconuenience
will
insue
of
it
.
We
are
not
Prophets
,
nor
the
sonnes
of
any
Prophet
,
to
foretell
the
euent
of
things
before
they
fall
out
.
But
if
we
haue
any
vnderstanding
(
as
we
hope
herein
wee
haue
none
)
if
these
fellowes
haue
the
reynes
laid
on
their
neckes
,
and
be
suffered
to
run
forward
with
the
bit
in
their
teeth
a
little
longer
,
they
wil
hardlie
be
reclaimed
,
without
great
daunger
of
apostasie
:
such
is
their
pride
and
haughtines
of
minde
.
It
is
great
pitie
that
so
worthie
an
order
should
be
prophaned
with
so
manie
machiuilians
,
and
that
they
will
not
rather
chuse
to
follow
their
founder
in
humilitie
,
and
many
most
excellent
persons
of
that
societie
.
Cardinall
Toledo
of
worthie
memorie
,
Cardinall
Bellarmino
yet
liuing
:
Gregorie
de
Valentia
,
Suarez
,
and
many
others
euen
worthies
in
their
dayes
;
who
bestowed
not
their
time
in
canuasing
of
kingdomes
,
and
deposing
of
Princes
,
or
in
anie
such
like
vnpriestlie
practises
,
as
you
haue
heard
of
before
that
our
Iesuits
doe
.
And
thus
for
this
time
wee
leaue
the
Iesuits
of
our
nation
,
to
deale
in
generalities
any
farther
with
them
,
or
with
their
extraordinarie
illuminations
or
spirits
of
guiding
soules
:
and
doe
addresse
our selues
to
that
vertuous
Paragon
Father
Parsons
,
the
vnworthie
Rector
of
our
English
Seminarie
at
Rome
.
But
before
we
begin
with
him
,
wee
had
need
to
entertaine
you
with
some
short
Preface
.
For
some
no
doubt
will
startle
that
he
should
be
touched
,
what
?
Dare
any
presume
to
call
him
in
question
?
Will
you
intermeddle
with
his
actions
?
They
are
not
to
be
sifted
or
canuased
or
discountenanced
by
any
secular
Priests
whosoeuer
,
his
holines
excepted
.
Beware
what
you
doe
:
it
is
sure
a
note
of
an
euill
spirit
:
we
pray
God
those
men
be
sound
that
dare
take
this
course
.
He
is
a
religious
mā
,
a
lesuit
,
the
rarest
wise
man
of
our
nation
,
most
familiar
with
Princes
,
admired
in
Spaine
,
reuerenced
in
Italie
,
and
onlie
hated
in
England
:
which
is
a
sufficient
argument
of
his
integritie
.
But
by
your
good
fauour
a
little
:
runne
not
headlong
with
these
generall
conceits
.
These
propositions
be
to
too
large
,
these
apprehensions
are
too
abstract
:
descend
a
while
into
particulars
.
Consider
his
actions
:
let
those
(
not
generall
conceits
)
proue
or
disproue
the
man
;
may
not
a
religious
person
be
exorbitant
:
a
wise
man
forget
him selfe
,
and
an
euill
man
winne
fauour
?
What
greater
meanes
to
worke
iniustice
then
fauour
&
wit
?
Fooles
neuer
reach
farre
.
And
what
thing
sooner
deceiueth
,
and
longer
cloketh
deceit
,
then
a
religious
habite
vpon
an
euill
person
;
sith
most
men
iudge
the
inward
man
,
by
the
outward
appearance
.
The
wolfe
neuer
more
deceiueth
then
when
hee
is
clothed
in
a
sheepes
skin
:
yet
is
not
this
a
reproch
vnto
religion
,
nor
a
disgrace
to
the
habite
,
but
a
greater
reproofe
to
the
person
,
that
will
abuse
innocent
meanes
to
nocent
actions
.
Seeing
then
,
that
a
veluet
herse
may
somtimes
couer
a
corrupted
and
stinking
carkas
:
let
not
the
outward
appearance
and
habite
onelie
carrie
away
and
preiudicate
mens
conceits
,
where
the
effects
doe
disclaime
.
If
he
be
a
religious
man
,
he
is
sequestred
from
the
world
:
what
then
hath
he
to
doe
with
kingdomes
and
titles
?
If
he
haue
abiured
the
world
,
let
him
shew
it
to
be
so
,
in
his
conuersation
,
and
sincere
affections
indeed
,
and
not
determine
of
common
wealths
and
kingdomes
.
If
his
profession
will
not
drawe
him
thereto
,
yet
let
charitie
moue
him
to
forbeare
,
because
thereby
he
giueth
matter
to
increase
our
persecution
at
home
.
Princes
are
iealous
,
and
manie
times
haue
cause
to
be
so
:
why
should
he
thē
prouoke
our
Prince
to
be
suspitious
of
vs
by
his
follies
?
And
as
touching
our selues
,
you
shall
finde
vs
sure
and
sound
enough
by
Gods
grace
:
some
of
vs
hauing
stood
vnto
it
,
per
mult
as
tribulationes
,
when
this
worthie
champion
took
his
heeles
,
and
left
vs
to
sinke
or
swim
for
him
.
Whilest
he
hath
accompanied
himselfe
with
Princes
,
and
liued
at
his
pleasure
in
kings
courts
:
wee
poore
soules
,
haue
beene
tossed
from
piller
to
post
,
and
hurryed
from
prison
to
prison
,
and
the
best
of
vs
haue
for
your
sakes
liued
in
sufficient
affliction
:
And
will
you
now
begin
to
doubt
of
vs
?
If
Father
Parsons
had
kept
himselfe
within
the
compasse
of
his
owne
calling
:
hee
should
haue
bin
quiet
for
vs.
But
his
dealings
being
such
,
as
should
wee
not
disclose
and
reproue
them
,
we
should
be
inuolued
in
his
trayterous
deseignements
,
&
after
our
long
sufferance
for
our
consciences
be
hanged
for
high
treason
:
beare
with
vs
,
if
wee
seeke
to
preuent
that
scandall
.
Wee
will
therefore
proceed
by
your
good
leaues
,
with
our
purpose
:
following
in
one
and
the
same
cause
,
the
examples
of
some
of
our
brethren
,
who
in
their
bookes
before
mentioned
haue
giuen
some
little
touch
of
him
.
And
first
for
his
birth
.
Maister
Southwell
a
Iesuit
and
whilest
he
liued
his
obedient
subiect
,
according
to
the
prouer
be
mulus
mulum
scabit
,
hath
told
vs
this
tale
of
it
.
As
for
Father
Parsons
,
he
hauing
placed
the
vttermost
of
his
ambition
in
the
contempt
of
honour
,
and
the
highest
of
his
wealth
in
voluntarie
pouertie
,
will
easilie
acknowledge
his
birth
to
haue
beene
of
more
honest
then
great
parents
:
yet
were
they
not
so
meane
but
that
they
were
able
to
afford
him
such
education
,
as
might
haue
made
his
good
parts
a
way
to
no
small
preferment
.
For
this
faire
glose
being
most
vntrue
,
we
doubt
not
,
but
that
Father
Parsons
either
hath
,
or
will
hereafter
by
some
worthie
monument
of
his
memorie
requite
him
,
were
it
not
that
the
Iesuits
haue
a
speciall
priuiledge
to
write
what
they
list
,
be
it
neuer
so
vntrue
,
if
it
may
be
couered
with
either
of
their
principles
,
propter
bonum
societatis
,
or
ordinem
ad
deum
;
this
fellow
would
not
thus
haue
aduentured
to
haue
abused
those
to
whom
he
hath
auouched
it
.
For
in
truth
the
said
maister
Parsons
his
graund
Prouinciall
,
is
by
his
birth
a
bastard
,
beggotten
vpon
the
bodie
of
a
very
base
woman
by
the
Parson
of
the
parish
where
hee
was
borne
:
and
his
right
name
is
not
Parsons
but
Cowbuck
.
Which
defect
,
because
it
did
not
proceede
from
any
fault
in
him
,
we
could
haue
wished
had
bin
omitted
by
our
very
reuerend
brethren
in
their
late
declaration
to
his
holinesse
:
had
not
both
they
and
wee
thought
it
expedient
thus
farre
to
touch
it
,
because
the
gentleman
is
so
high
minded
,
and
doth
take
vpon
him
so
vsuallie
to
debase
other
mens
parentages
,
not
sparing
like
a
wicked
person
with
an
ouermuch
hardened
forehead
,
sundrie
of
the
Nobilitie
of
England
,
nor
his
owne
Soueraigne
and
her
most
worthy
progenitors
.
Besides
,
it
may
be
a
good
caueat
vnto
him
to
looke
well
to
his
orders
:
considering
the
Canon
lawe
in
that
point
,
least
otherwise
it
cost
him
his
Rectorship
.
Master
Southwels
smoothe
tale
will
not
serue
his
turne
,
if
the
matter
be
ript
vp
against
him
.
But
to
followe
our
course
:
the
said
Parson
that
begat
him
,
did
afterwards
foster
him
,
and
hauing
brought
him
vp
at
the
schoole
,
sent
him
to
Oxford
,
and
placed
him
in
Balioll
Colledge
:
from
whence
he
was
in
effect
expelled
,
being
Maister
of
Artes
,
not
for
religion
as
he
hath
vaunted
,
but
for
his
Bastardie
,
factious
conuersation
,
libelling
,
and
other
misdemeanours
.
But
hereof
you
neede
no
further
information
,
then
the
said
declaration
:
where
you
shall
finde
,
that
there
was
such
lamentation
at
his
departure
from
the
Colledge
,
as
for
ioye
he
was
rung
thence
with
Bels.
Doctor
Bagshawe
being
then
fellow
of
the
said
Colledge
,
was
his
stiffe
aduersarie
in
the
matters
obiected
against
him
:
which
the
good
Father
of
his
Iesuiticall
charitie
,
doth
not
,
when
occasion
serueth
forget
:
hauing
within
these
three
yeares
last
past
,
by
a
very
lewde
stratageme
,
as
touching
the
villanie
against
her
Maiestie
,
vndertaken
by
one
Squier
,
brought
both
him
and
some
others
as
we
thinke
,
for
his
sake
,
in
great
danger
of
their
liues
.
After
this
Father
his
said
expulsion
,
or
his
leauing
the
said
Colledge
by
compulsion
,
he
repayred
to
London
,
and
hauing
often
resort
to
one
Iames
Clarke
,
his
old
schoolefellowe
,
abiding
then
in
the
inner
Temple
,
he
protested
to
him
the
said
Clarke
,
vpon
some
occasion
of
speeches
betwixt
them
,
that
hee
neither
then
was
,
nor
euer
ment
to
be
any
Papist
(
as
it
then
pleased
him
to
tearme
vs
Catholikes
)
and
offered
,
for
his
better
satisfaction
therein
to
affirme
so
much
vpon
his
oath
.
His
resolution
was
as
hee
saide
,
to
studie
phisicke
,
and
that
he
was
purposed
to
trauell
for
that
end
to
Padua
:
and
rather
thither
,
then
to
any
place
else
,
because
one
Lane
a
Master
of
Artes
,
and
his
olde
acquaintaunce
,
in
Oxford
,
was
there
placed
,
and
in
good
reputation
.
Whereby
you
see
the
Gentlemans
zeale
to
the
Catholike
Romane
Religion
,
which
driue
him
to
leaue
Oxford
.
Not
long
after
the
said
conference
with
Maister
Clarke
,
he
departed
beyond
the
Seas
:
and
so
framed
the
course
of
his
life
there
,
as
within
short
time
,
he
became
a
Iesuit
:
being
a
man
very
violent
in
Cardinall
Allanes
opinion
,
and
of
an
vnquiet
spirit
.
In
this
calling
he
did
profit
exceedingly
,
and
was
almost
vpon
the
suddaine
a
very
great
Statist
,
little
behinde
many
of
his
auncients
,
for
plotting
and
practising
of
sundry
vnpriestly
enterprises
.
We
are
verilie
perswaded
(
by
diuers
other
his
like
desseignments
sutable
thereunto
)
that
this
new
good
Father
had
his
finger
in
the
attempts
for
Ireland
,
anno
1578.
when
Stukeley
should
haue
gone
thither
:
and
also
anno
1579.
when
Saunders
went
indeede
.
Of
this
second
expedition
you
may
reade
in
our
owne
Chronicles
:
and
for
the
first
,
thus
the
matter
stoode
.
About
a
yeere
before
the
ouerthrowe
of
the
King
of
Portugale
in
Africke
,
Stukeley
being
in
Rome
,
perswaded
Pope
Gregorie
the
13.
that
hee
the
said
Stukely
would
make
his
the
said
Popes
sonne
Iames
(
then
Duke
of
Sora
)
the
King
of
Ireland
:
if
he
the
said
Pope
would
furnish
him
with
men
and
money
sufficient
for
that
expedition
.
Whereunto
the
Pope
agreed
,
and
set
him
forth
with
money
,
and
with
about
3000.
men
,
directing
his
letters
to
the
King
of
Spaine
for
his
assistance
likewise
in
that
enterprise
.
But
the
King
(
ayming
at
that
kingdome
more
himselfe
)
refused
either
to
receiue
him
into
any
of
his
Ports
,
or
at
all
to
ayde
him
.
Stukeley
being
deceiued
of
this
hope
,
cast
about
to
the
King
of
Portugal
(
then
preparing
for
his
Affrican
voiage
)
who
gladly
receiued
both
him
and
his
men
,
promising
vnto
him
,
that
if
he
would
goe
with
him
in
that
voyage
,
hee
would
at
their
returne
furnish
him
sufficiently
for
the
accomplishing
of
his
purpose
in
Ireland
.
Stukeley
yeelded
:
goeth
into
Affrike
,
is
there
slaine
,
and
the
Pope
was
greatly
discontented
,
that
he
had
been
so
greatly
ouerreached
by
him
.
At
such
time
as
it
was
perceiued
in
Rome
what
the
Pope
intended
by
the
instigation
of
Stukeley
,
concerning
their
said
desseignements
for
Ireland
,
one
Master
Shelley
,
named
the
graund
Prior
for
England
,
cast
out
words
to
this
effect
:
what
(
saith
he
)
because
there
are
no
more
Cities
of
Parma
and
Placenza
to
bestowe
vpon
his
Sonne
,
will
he
now
haue
Ireland
,
the
patrimony
of
the
Crowne
of
England
?
The
said
Prior
being
moued
by
the
Pope
to
vndertake
that
iourney
with
Stukeley
,
he
refused
so
to
doe
,
and
told
him
that
he
the
said
Stukeley
was
but
a
shifting
and
a
vaunting
fellow
,
and
that
he
would
assuredly
cousen
him
in
all
that
hee
committed
to
his
charge
and
trust
.
But
the
Pope
was
so
much
addicted
to
that
attempt
,
that
partly
in
respect
of
the
Prior
his
said
words
,
and
partly
of
this
his
said
refusall
,
he
grewe
into
such
dislike
with
him
,
as
for
the
safegard
of
his
life
he
thought
it
meete
to
flie
to
Venice
.
Whether
Father
Parsons
was
then
in
Rome
to
blow
this
coale
against
the
Prior
,
or
where
he
was
,
the
matter
is
not
great
,
considering
the
daily
correspondencie
by
letters
betweene
the
Fathers
of
that
societie
from
all
places
in
Christendome
.
Besides
you
may
peraduenture
heare
more
hereof
at
another
time
.
About
eleuen
or
twelue
yeers
after
his
sayd
expulsion
,
and
that
being
a
Iesuite
he
had
wonne
to
himselfe
by
his
sayd
factious
disposition
and
practises
the
reputation
to
be
made
the
Prouinciall
for
the
Iesuites
that
were
to
be
sent
into
England
,
he
came
hither
with
two
subiects
only
,
Father
Campion
,
and
Father
Cotham
,
Anno
1580.
hauing
got
a
great
start
of
Father
Campion
,
who
was
Proctor
not
long
before
in
Oxford
,
when
Father
Parsons
commensed
but
Bachelor
of
Arts
,
if
our
memories
do
not
fayle
vs
therein
.
This
his
said
comming
into
England
being
knowne
,
Maister
Blackwell
(
now
his
darling
and
Arch-priest
by
his
direction
)
bewayled
the
same
to
a
friend
of
his
being
then
in
prison
:
saying
vnto
him
,
that
it
was
a
very
vndiscreet
fact
of
the
President
at
Rhemes
(
meaning
Doctor
Allane
)
to
send
him
hither
,
as
being
an
vnfit
man
to
be
imployed
in
the
causes
of
religion
.
And
being
asked
why
he
was
vnmeete
for
that
imployment
,
he
answered
,
because
this
casting
out
of
Balioll
Colledge
,
and
other
articles
and
matters
depending
vpon
it
,
betwixt
him
and
Doctor
Squier
(
then
liuing
)
were
very
likely
to
be
renewed
,
and
so
to
worke
great
discredit
both
to
him
,
and
the
cause
Catholick
.
The
holy
Father
was
no
sooner
come
into
England
,
but
besides
the
vanity
of
his
challenge
to
all
Protestants
(
being
deemed
an
vnfit
man
to
haue
performed
the
same
)
he
began
to
bestirre
himselfe
in
matters
of
State
,
especially
how
to
aduance
a
certayne
King
by
the
fauours
of
diuers
forraine
Princes
:
to
the
great
preiudice
of
her
Maiesties
both
Crowne
and
safetie
,
as
appeareth
by
a
letter
of
his
written
to
a
noble
man
bearing
date
from
Rome
the
24.
of
Ianuarie
1600.
In
which
kinde
of
affaires
he
so
busied
himselfe
,
as
diuers
Catholikes
were
in
that
respect
greatly
discontented
with
him
,
and
told
him
plainely
,
that
if
he
would
not
desist
from
those
courses
,
they
would
deliuer
him
into
the
hands
of
the
Ciuill
Magistrate
.
The
yeere
after
,
viz.
1581.
Fa.
Heywood
being
delegated
by
the
Duke
of
Bauaria
,
to
Pope
Gregorie
the
13.
his
holines
vpon
knowledge
that
he
was
an
English
man
,
and
experience
of
his
eloquence
,
and
diuers
other
good
parts
in
him
,
tooke
him
from
the
Duke
,
and
sent
him
into
England
:
where
finding
Fa.
Parsons
with
the
authoritie
of
a
Prouinciall
,
and
he
the
said
Fa.
Heywood
refusing
to
submit
himselfe
vnto
him
,
a
great
heartburning
did
arise
betwixt
them
.
Father
Parsons
alleaged
that
being
the
Prouinciall
ouer
the
Iesuits
in
England
,
hee
the
said
Father
Heywood
must
consequentlie
be
his
inferiour
:
but
Father
Heywood
answered
,
that
his
mission
hither
was
singular
,
directed
by
the
Pope
himselfe
,
and
therefore
said
,
hee
was
thereby
exempted
from
any
subiection
to
him
.
This
quarrel
grew
to
be
hote
,
and
had
manie
priests
and
others
as
partakers
on
either
side
:
some
holding
with
one
,
and
some
with
another
.
The
same
Father
Parsons
hauing
stirred
'
vp
stirres
,
daungers
,
and
garboyles
by
his
seditious
challenges
,
and
dealings
in
England
and
Scotland
:
and
finding
that
manie
Catholickes
were
offended
with
him
for
it
,
hee
made
great
collections
of
monie
,
pretending
therwith
to
relieue
prisoners
:
but
being
once
maister
of
that
mint
,
ehe
fled
into
France
,
leauing
his
friends
in
England
to
shift
for
themselues
,
&
the
prisoners
to
feele
and
indure
the
want
.
When
hee
came
to
Paris
,
as
a
man
hauing
latelie
bin
in
possession
of
his
new
Prouincialitie
,
hee
put
in
practise
this
stratageme
following
,
of
purpose
to
exempt
himselfe
from
the
Prouinciall
and
his
superiour
there
.
He
perswaded
them
that
without
their
owne
great
perill
,
they
could
not
entertaine
him
in
their
Colledge
:
affirming
that
the
Queene
of
England
(
good
Lady
)
being
sore
afraid
to
haue
so
great
a
personage
to
be
harboured
so
neere
her
,
had
proscribed
him
,
and
promised
no
small
summe
of
monie
to
the
partie
that
would
kill
him
:
and
hereunto
he
added
,
that
hee
had
perfect
knowledge
from
his
friends
in
England
,
that
they
were
alreadie
in
Paris
,
who
had
vndertaken
that
cruell
deed
.
Therfore
he
prayed
the
Rector
,
that
none
of
the
societie
might
be
suffered
to
walke
forth
in
his
companie
:
saying
that
if
they
did
,
they
should
surelie
perish
with
him
.
And
to
make
this
conceit
the
more
probable
,
he
suborned
(
with
his
own
monie
)
two
English
men
well
appointed
,
and
a
Flemming
with
them
,
to
goe
latelie
in
the
euening
,
and
enquire
for
one
Fa
:
Parsons
at
the
Colledge
.
Whereupon
the
Iesuits
beleeuing
,
that
all
he
said
was
true
,
dismissed
Father
Parsons
to
goe
forth
freelie
whither
he
would
,
and
to
dispose
of
himselfe
at
his
owne
pleasure
,
to
auoide
death
forsooth
,
verifiyng
the
old
prouerbe
,
Caelum
non
animum
mutant
qui
trans
mare
currunt
:
as
craftie
a
crouder
,
and
as
lying
a
companion
now
amongst
the
Iesuits
,
after
almost
thirtie
yeeres
profession
,
as
hee
was
in
Balioll
Colledge
amongst
his
fellowes
there
.
We
told
you
before
of
the
contention
betwixt
this
good
Father
,
and
his
pretended
subiect
Father
Heywood
:
whō
for
disciplines
sake
you
may
be
sure
he
did
not
forget
,
hauing
of
likelihood
,
some
further
matter
against
him
,
by
reason
of
his
courses
held
here
amongst
vs.
The
said
Heywood
assembled
a
Synode
in
Norfolke
,
and
made
such
constitutions
as
are
mentioned
in
the
treatise
before
expressed
,
dedicated
to
the
Pope
.
At
this
assembly
Maister
Dolman
being
present
,
required
of
Fa.
Heywood
to
see
his
Commission
;
who
being
not
able
to
shew
him
any
,
he
the
said
Maister
Dolman
did
inhibite
him
to
proceede
any
further
:
and
tolde
him
plainly
that
hee
vsurped
vpon
the
Bishop
of
Lincolne
then
being
in
prison
,
and
that
if
hee
proceeded
so
to
doe
,
he
the
said
Master
Dolman
in
defence
of
the
olde
customes
of
the
Church
would
resist
him
,
vsque
ad
sanguinem
.
Furthermore
,
after
the
saide
Fa.
Parsons
departure
hence
:
some
of
the
Priests
finding
their
vsuall
contributions
to
be
greatly
diminished
,
and
perceiuing
one
cause
thereof
to
be
the
lauish
expences
of
Father
Heywood
in
keeping
so
many
men
,
horses
,
and
coaches
(
as
Fa.
Garnet
'
doth
at
this
present
)
they
dealt
with
him
in
that
behalfe
,
signifying
their
dislike
of
such
his
prodigalitie
:
and
alleaged
that
Fa.
Parsons
spent
not
so
much
,
when
he
was
here
.
To
whom
Fa.
Heywood
answered
,
that
Fa.
Parsons
was
his
inferior
,
in
that
he
the
said
Fa.
Parsons
was
sent
hither
but
by
their
Generall
,
whereas
he
(
Fa.
Heywood
)
had
his
mission
from
the
Pope
himselfe
.
What
aduantages
Fa.
Heywood
gaue
to
Fa.
Parsons
by
these
or
any
other
his
proceedings
here
,
we
minde
not
at
large
to
expresse
.
It
is
susficient
to
let
you
knowe
that
Fa.
Parsons
after
his
departure
hence
,
sending
thirtie
articles
against
him
to
the
Court
at
Rome
,
he
the
said
Fa.
Heywood
was
shortly
after
called
for
by
authoritie
to
come
out
of
England
,
but
was
apprehended
before
he
could
get
hence
.
Howbeit
not
long
after
,
he
was
banished
,
and
then
he
repaired
to
Rome
,
or
to
some
place
neere
vnto
it
:
where
he
was
not
so
well
intreated
as
he
looked
for
.
Insomuch
as
being
moued
with
diuers
enormities
amongst
the
Iesuits
,
he
wrote
sundry
letters
to
the
Pope
,
instantly
desiring
his
holynes
that
the
Iesuits
might
be
reformed
,
saying
that
otherwise
,
hee
should
see
their
ruine
(
he
feared
)
in
his
owne
daies
.
Whereupon
the
Pope
called
their
Generall
Aquauiue
,
and
demaunded
of
him
what
those
deformities
were
,
which
father
Heywood
complayned
of
,
to
whom
he
answered
,
that
the
old
man
did
it
of
dotage
,
not
knowing
what
he
sayd
:
and
withall
to
stop
him
from
writing
any
more
to
the
Pope
,
he
sent
him
to
Calabria
:
where
(
as
we
haue
bin
informed
)
he
was
by
the
sayd
Generals
commaundement
kept
close
prisoner
:
and
so
or
in
little
better
case
remayneth
,
if
he
be
yet
aliue
:
but
as
we
thinke
he
is
dead
.
But
to
returne
to
our
deuout
Father
of
Stockgersee
(
natale
solum
)
after
his
said
arriuall
in
France
,
as
he
began
with
cousening
his
superiors
in
Paris
for
his
greater
libertie
,
so
did
he
continue
his
Machiuilian
practises
in
matters
of
State
,
and
hath
not
ceased
since
that
time
to
seeke
the
betraying
and
destruction
of
his
owne
Country
like
a
Monster
;
besides
the
publishing
of
sundrie
his
most
seditious
writings
and
letters
,
whereby
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
State
haue
bin
so
iustly
irritated
,
as
we
poore
men
innocent
and
ignorant
of
all
his
vnnaturall
deseignements
,
haue
felt
the
smart
of
his
wickednes
,
himselfe
being
without
danger
,
and
like
a
coward
and
false
shepheard
,
hauing
left
both
vs
and
the
flock
in
the
bryers
.
Within
a
while
after
his
going
into
Fraunce
,
he
plunged
himselfe
vp
to
the
eares
in
the
Scottish
causes
then
in
hand
,
and
was
an
especiall
instigator
of
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
Anno
1583.
or
thereabouts
,
for
his
sodaine
surprizing
the
Citie
of
London
,
and
her
Maiesties
person
,
with
5000.
men
:
assuring
him
,
that
the
Catholicks
would
assist
him
if
neede
required
.
Besides
,
it
being
determined
that
the
sayd
Duke
should
come
hither
in
his
owne
person
,
for
the
performance
of
the
attempt
,
there
was
not
any
man
found
more
fit
for
his
dexteritie
and
forwardnes
in
that
matter
,
then
Father
Parsons
(
as
Mendoza
reported
)
to
be
imployed
to
Rome
to
make
triall
,
if
by
his
pollicie
any
money
might
haue
bin
gotten
from
his
holynes
for
the
furnishing
of
that
iourney
.
But
we
thinke
he
lost
his
labour
.
Furthermore
,
considering
that
one
of
the
Dukes
chiefe
cares
was
to
know
the
fittest
Hauens
to
land
in
,
&
that
Frauncis
Throckmerton
was
imployed
for
that
purpose
by
the
instigation
and
aduise
of
Sir
Frauncis
Englefeild
,
Mendoza
,
and
others
,
(
all
of
them
Father
Parsons
especiall
friends
)
it
is
more
then
probable
that
his
Fatherhood
was
,
if
not
a
practicioner
for
that
purpose
,
yet
one
of
that
counsell
and
confederacy
,
or
at
the
least
acquainted
with
it
.
It
is
not
vnknowne
what
a
villanous
attempt
the
traytor
Parry
vndertooke
against
the
life
of
her
Maiestie
the
same
yeare
,
Anno
1583.
pursuing
the
same
,
till
by
Gods
mercy
he
came
to
the
gallowes
the
yeere
after
.
With
this
outragious
plot
sundry
Iesuites
were
acquainted
:
nay
,
they
were
the
incouragers
of
him
to
proceede
in
it
valiantly
,
omitting
no
perswasions
or
meanes
they
could
vse
to
that
effect
.
It
maketh
our
hearts
to
bleede
,
that
the
blessed
Sacrament
should
euer
be
made
a
meanes
to
animate
villaines
in
such
diuelish
enterprises
.
But
what
is
all
this
to
Father
Parsons
?
Surely
it
concerneth
him
more
then
we
are
glad
to
report
.
For
the
sayd
Parry
hauing
apprehended
a
certaine
necessity
for
the
good
of
the
Catholick
cause
,
that
her
Maiestie
must
be
taken
out
of
the
way
;
and
finding
a
great
aptnes
and
desire
in
himselfe
to
be
an
instrument
to
that
effect
:
yet
was
he
perplexed
in
his
mind
with
some
doubts
and
obiections
,
why
he
might
not
lay
violent
hands
vpon
her
person
.
For
the
cleering
and
remoouing
of
which
difficulties
,
Father
Parsons
was
offred
him
to
conferre
with
,
as
being
accompted
one
ofthe
of
the
meetest
men
to
resolue
him
in
such
matters
.
It
is
true
that
Parry
refused
to
talke
or
conferre
with
him
:
but
yet
the
very
offer
doth
argue
that
the
good
Father
was
acquainted
with
Parries
intent
,
or
at
the
least
that
he
was
knowne
to
be
one
,
that
if
he
talked
with
Parry
,
would
haue
animated
him
in
that
course
,
with
all
his
Iesuiticall
arguments
and
best
perswasions
.
You
will
say
this
is
but
a
coniecture
:
and
therefore
for
your
better
satisfaction
of
the
truth
herein
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
it
is
to
be
shewed
by
one
ofthis
Fathers
owne
letters
to
Maister
Charles
Paget
,
that
whilest
this
mischiefe
was
in
consultation
,
a
certaine
Gentleman
of
good
quality
comming
vnto
him
,
told
him
of
it
,
and
sayd
,
that
assuredly
he
would
reueale
it
:
but
he
the
godly
Father
disswaded
him
with
all
his
skill
,
and
would
not
suffer
him
so
to
do
:
which
was
(
as
we
thinke
)
a
more
vile
part
in
Father
Parsons
,
being
borne
her
Maiesties
subiect
,
then
in
any
stranger
whosoeuer
,
that
thrust
Parry
forwards
into
that
most
barbarous
stratageme
.
Furthermore
,
this
good
Father
that
he
might
leaue
no
stone
vnturned
,
which
could
tend
to
the
trouble
and
mischiefe
of
his
natiue
Countrie
,
when
his
dealings
with
more
priuate
persons
would
not
succeede
,
then
he
returned
to
those
of
higher
place
,
and
excited
them
to
vndertake
some
exployts
vpon
them
,
which
might
be
answerable
to
his
Iesuiticall
,
that
is
,
most
bloudy
deseignements
.
He
made
a
lewde
discourse
,
wherein
he
intitled
Alexander
Duke
of
Parma
to
her
Maiesties
Crowne
,
&
indeuoured
with
all
his
skill
to
perswade
the
Duke
in
the
right
of
his
sonne
Ranutius
to
set
vpon
this
Realme
with
all
his
force
,
propounding
vnto
him
diuers
meanes
(
as
one
by
marrying
his
sonne
to
a
certayne
english
Lady
)
for
his
better
effecting
ofthat
enterprise
.
But
the
attempt
of
1588.
by
the
King
of
Spayne
against
her
Maiestie
and
this
whole
Kingdome
,
as
it
is
and
ought
to
be
abhorred
by
all
true
hearted
Englishmen
:
so
we
trust
the
memory
of
those
wretches
borne
in
our
owne
Countrie
,
that
were
either
procurers
,
perswaders
,
or
Agents
in
it
,
shall
be
had
in
perpetuall
detestation
.
In
which
number
,
this
our
Iesuite
was
a
chiefe
firebrand
,
and
had
his
hand
in
that
pernitious
booke
,
that
was
then
printed
for
the
stirring
vp
of
her
Maiesties
subiects
to
haue
taken
part
with
the
Spaniard
if
he
could
haue
arriued
:
which
booke
vpon
their
foile
and
ouerthrow
was
presently
burnt
for
shame
,
that
euer
the
world
should
see
so
impious
a
treatise
,
we
meane
the
whole
impression
was
burnt
,
sauing
some
few
that
escaped
their
hands
.
We
are
the
more
earnest
against
this
enterprise
,
because
it
touched
all
English
Catholicks
heere
,
as
much
as
it
did
in
effect
the
Protestants
.
For
it
is
knowne
right
well
both
from
the
Duke
of
Medina
his
owne
mouth
,
and
by
other
certeyne
intelligence
,
that
all
the
Catholicks
in
England
,
as
well
as
others
,
and
perhaps
rather
,
were
designed
to
the
slaughter
.
For
the
sayd
Duke
being
told
,
that
there
were
some
Catholicks
in
England
:
answered
,
I
care
not
:
I
will
make
the
best
Protestants
in
England
as
good
Catholicks
as
they
,
if
I
haue
them
once
vnder
my
sword
.
I
respect
neither
the
one
nor
the
other
:
I
meane
to
make
roome
there
for
my
maister
.
This
he
hath
spoken
diuers
times
in
the
hearing
of
Maister
Wencelade
,
a
Deuonshire
man.
And
this
also
the
Iesuites
themselues
confesse
,
as
amongst
others
Father
Southwell
at
Wisbich
,
in
the
hearing
of
diuers
of
the
Priests
there
prisoners
.
At
what
time
Father
Parsons
went
into
Spayne
we
do
not
remember
,
we
thinke
it
was
about
the
yeare
1589.
but
sure
we
are
that
when
it
was
knowne
here
,
and
that
he
was
commended
thither
by
Don
Bernardino
de
Mendoza
his
fellow
Iesuite
,
many
Catholicks
of
sounder
iudgemēt
did
vtterly
dislike
it
.
They
knew
the
ambition
of
the
Spaniards
:
and
how
bellum
sacrum
pretended
by
Ferdinando
,
and
continued
since
as
a
thing
hereditary
to
that
kingdome
,
vnder
sundry
pretences
for
the
defence
of
the
Catholick
faith
,
did
tend
to
nothing
else
,
but
to
make
them selues
monarches
.
Besides
,
they
were
not
ignorant
with
what
eagernes
the
Iesuites
began
to
aduaunce
the
Spaniard
:
which
made
them
to
suspect
that
Father
Parsons
going
thither
,
would
still
bring
forth
some
further
mischiefes
:
and
indeed
it
fell
so
out
.
For
through
Mendoza
his
credit
,
he
became
not
only
vpō
the
sodain
a
Courtier
,
but
grew
very
soone
into
great
fauour
with
the
King
:
which
you
know
must
needes
be
easily
wrought
(
as
the
King
stood
then
affected
against
England
,
hauing
bin
so
much
dishonored
by
his
repulse
the
yeere
before
)
by
his
Maiesties
experience
of
this
good
Fathers
mortall
hatred
to
his
owne
country
,
in
plotting
and
casting
about
,
how
his
highnes
might
be
reuenged
.
We
will
not
tell
what
we
feare
concerning
the
motiues
wherewith
this
Father
perswaded
the
King
to
erect
the
Seminaries
for
our
Countrymen
in
Spayne
,
and
elsewhere
,
the
end
oftheir
institution
was
most
religiously
politike
,
and
holy
:
but
if
we
shall
finde
those
wholy
employed
for
increasing
either
of
Iesuits
or
of
other
Priests
,
such
as
must
follow
and
applaude
to
all
their
trayterous
courses
against
our
Country
,
for
our
owne
parts
we
wish
they
had
neuer
bin
erected
.
In
the
yeare
1589.
the
same
yeare
that
this
Father
came
into
Spayne
,
the
Seminary
was
erected
in
Valledolid
by
his
meanes
.
In
commendation
whereof
,
he
writeth
very
amply
,
and
mentioneth
one
thing
by
the
way
,
which
(
sauing
his
Maisterships
Fatherhood
)
we
do
not
beleeue
to
be
true
:
he
knoweth
full
well
how
to
keepe
himselfe
warme
.
For
he
sayth
,
that
the
Students
there
hearing
of
the
rigor
and
crueltie
in
England
,
were
(
in
short
time
after
the
sayd
erection
)
so
animated
and
desirous
to
see
themselues
in
that
battell
:
as
he
himselfe
was
ofttimes
thereby
moued
(
had
he
bin
a
few
yeeres
yonger
,
and
could
haue
borne
that
mission
)
to
haue
gone
once
againe
with
them
into
England
.
But
except
he
may
come
hither
with
Gloria
patri
,
we
will
vndertake
it
for
him
he
will
not
greatly
trouble
vs
heere
with
his
presence
.
In
the
yeare
1592.
the
King
with
his
sonne
and
daughter
went
to
Valledolid
:
and
being
there
,
did
visit
his
english
Seminary
at
Father
Parsons
suite
.
In
which
visitation
you
shall
see
the
continuance
of
this
fathers
deadly
malice
,
breathed
out
in
his
schollers
orations
.
Wherein
her
Maiestie
is
by
all
meanes
depraued
:
the
Kings
honor
and
excellency
is
extolled
aboue
all
measure
:
her
Highnes
downe-fall
,
and
his
victories
are
prophecied
,
and
nothing
is
omitted
that
might
aduaunce
the
one
,
and
depresse
the
other
.
One
of
them
deliuering
the
good
father
his
directions
,
offred
to
the
King
in
his
oration
,
not
only
himselfe
,
but
in
the
name
of
the
rest
,
all
his
fellowes
:
nay
their
whole
Countrey
,
their
parents
,
and
friends
,
with
all
their
Allyes
,
confederates
,
and
acquaintance
.
Which
oration
,
and
all
their
other
proceedings
then
at
Valledolid
comming
to
Cardinall
Allane
in
Rome
,
he
wept
for
sorrow
,
seeing
what
they
still
aymed
at
.
Do
not
you
thinke
that
our
Country
is
like
to
receiue
great
comfort
by
these
Spanish
schollers
,
if
they
shall
proceede
according
to
these
beginnings
?
If
you
can
get
this
Fathers
relation
printed
the
sayd
yere
1592.
concerning
this
visitation
of
the
Seminary
,
you
shall
see
many
other
particulars
:
but
this
we
warne
you
of
,
that
in
the
printed
copy
,
that
part
of
the
youths
oration
is
omitted
,
wherein
the
sayd
great
offer
is
made
to
the
King.
That
is
not
a
point
to
be
made
too
vulgar
,
till
the
time
and
opportunity
serue
.
The
yeare
after
1593.
Father
Parsons
,
because
men
should
not
thinke
him
idle
,
hath
offred
to
the
world
a
further
testimony
of
his
good
will
to
her
Maiestie
,
and
his
Country
,
in
a
treatise
intituled
,
Newes
from
Spayne
.
Herein
,
besides
certayne
exercises
by
the
english
yong
Priests
in
an
other
Seminary
at
Siuill
,
tending
in
effect
to
the
same
purpose
with
the
former
:
it
pleaseth
him
to
discourse
of
some
pleasant
conceits
,
and
certaine
empreises
:
and
in
one
;
how
King
Henry
the
second
,
and
King
Henry
the
eight
,
Saint
Thomas
of
Canterburie
and
the
Queenes
Maiestie
are
marshalled
in
a
table
together
.
Many
diuels
with
instruments
of
torments
in
their
hands
are
painted
vnder
king
Henry
the
eights
picture
:
and
her
Maiestie
is
made
to
stand
as
it
were
in
great
sadnes
,
looking
both
vpon
her
Father
and
King
Henry
the
second
,
set
out
with
many
Angels
and
garlands
for
his
repentance
.
For
Priests
in
a
straunge
countrie
to
deale
thus
with
their
owne
Kings
,
argueth
little
Religion
,
and
lesse
discretion
:
it
being
imprinted
thereby
in
euery
mans
minde
,
that
seeth
these
or
the
like
courses
:
that
let
any
King
offend
them
,
and
they
will
not
faile
to
vse
him
with
the
like
contempt
.
But
the
chiefe
part
of
these
newes
is
of
a
certaine
conference
at
Amsterdam
,
concerning
the
succession
to
the
Crowne
of
England
:
and
how
many
pretenders
there
are
that
doe
gape
after
it
.
This
conference
was
at
this
time
but
in
papers
,
you
shall
heare
of
it
anon
come
out
in
Print
.
When
this
fellowe
was
made
a
Religious
person
,
it
had
been
good
for
the
Church
that
a
Mill
stone
had
been
tied
about
his
necke
,
and
he
cast
into
the
Sea
:
such
scandall
hath
and
will
arise
hereafter
by
his
more
then
Machiuiliean
deuises
.
In
the
said
yeere
also
1593.
Fa
:
Parsons
and
Father
Creswell
(
neither
barrell
better
hering
)
set
out
in
Spaine
another
booke
vnder
the
counterfeit
name
of
Andreas
Philopater
:
that
is
,
Andrew
loue
his
country
:
wherein
like
two
arrant
companions
they
presume
diuers
times
to
speake
to
her
Maiestie
(
their
naturall
Soueraigne
)
as
if
they
were
themselues
two
Emperours
,
and
she
but
a
milke
maide
.
Besides
,
for
that
Bastard
&
most
ignominious
filius
terrae
Parsons
,
for
him
(
wesay
)
to
be
one
,
that
with
a
brasen
forehead
should
dare
to
obiect
the
meane
parentage
of
sundrie
great
personages
,
who
haue
beene
in
great
authoritie
in
this
kingdome
:
nay
for
him
so
vile
a
rascall
to
depraue
and
extenuate
the
blood
Royall
which
is
in
her
Maiesties
sacred
person
,
descending
from
the
renowned
King
Henry
the
Seauenth
;
what
true
English
heart
can
endure
it
?
Beare
with
vs
:
for
before
God
wee
are
much
moued
with
the
consideration
of
it
.
He
inueieth
very
bitterlie
against
the
crueltie
of
her
Highnes
lawes
;
which
we
wish
had
been
more
milde
:
but
he
neuer
mentioneth
that
he
and
his
fellowes
haue
been
the
occasion
of
them
by
their
traiterous
courses
,
both
against
her
Crowne
and
life
.
For
our
owne
parts
wee
haue
felt
the
burthen
of
some
of
them
:
whereas
these
companions
being
in
safetie
themselues
,
care
not
what
mischiefe
they
bring
vpon
our
heads
.
Besides
in
this
booke
,
are
sprinckled
here
and
there
some
of
their
seditious
positions
touching
their
setting
vp
of
subiects
against
their
Princes
,
and
of
cutting
off
the
right
heires
to
the
Crowne
,
vnder
pretence
of
Religion
:
which
we
account
to
bee
very
pernicious
doctrine
.
For
as
when
Religion
is
receiued
into
any
kingdome
,
it
medleth
not
with
,
or
maketh
better
any
Kings
title
to
his
Crowne
;
so
when
it
is
banished
thence
,
it
doth
not
diminish
any
Princes
right
or
inheritance
,
but
leaueth
(
in
our
opinions
)
the
same
as
it
found
it
.
Now
these
said
positions
with
many
more
(
passing
from
hand
to
hand
by
conference
and
in
papers
,
for
two
or
three
yeares
in
Spaine
)
begun
to
shew
their
heads
in
print
,
and
are
compiled
into
a
booke
:
the
chiefe
scope
whereof
is
this
(
if
Maister
Charles
Paget
or
we
doe
vnderstand
it
)
viz.
the
deposing
of
her
Maiestie
:
the
alteration
of
our
auncient
lawes
and
customes
:
the
disinheriting
of
all
her
Maiesties
lawfull
successors
,
and
the
aduanncing
of
the
Infanta
of
Spayne
to
the
royall
throne
of
this
Kingdome
.
When
these
points
with
their
appurtenances
were
first
published
,
whether
in
papers
or
in
print
,
we
know
not
,
Father
Parsons
being
halfe
sick
,
acquainted
the
schollers
in
Siuill
publickly
with
them
,
and
read
the
whole
discourse
himselfe
vnto
them
,
and
the
same
he
procured
to
be
done
to
other
english
Students
at
S.
Lucars
,
as
a
friend
of
his
hath
lately
written
into
England
in
the
good
fathers
commendation
.
Who
telleth
vs
further
,
that
father
Parsons
demaunding
how
they
the
schollers
liked
that
treatise
,
especially
concerning
the
Infanta
,
they
answered
,
that
they
did
not
only
like
it
,
but
diuers
Priests
and
others
subscribed
their
names
vnto
it
,
for
a
testimony
of
their
approbation
of
it
.
This
that
these
men
subscribed
vnto
,
was
as
seemeth
a
short
draught
of
the
Infantaes
pretended
title
,
conteyning
also
the
forme
of
a
submission
for
their
present
acknowledgmēt
of
the
Infanta
to
be
their
Queene
and
Soueraigne
.
It
was
reported
here
by
certayne
Priests
,
that
the
sayd
Students
refused
to
subscribe
to
any
such
matter
,
and
that
father
Parsons
by
false
information
procured
them
to
subscribe
to
a
blanck
,
both
in
Siuill
,
and
in
Valledolid
,
which
he
supplied
after
to
the
effect
before
mentioned
,
and
offred
the
same
to
the
Infanta
.
Maister
Charles
Paget
reporteth
hereof
something
,
and
to
this
effect
,
viz.
that
father
Parsons
caused
diuers
by
fayre
meanes
and
threates
to
subscribe
,
that
in
all
conferences
they
should
when
they
came
into
England
aduance
the
Infantaes
title
,
not
intending
thereby
to
expect
her
Maiesties
death
,
but
by
all
meanes
to
remoue
her
from
the
present
possession
of
her
royall
estate
.
If
these
things
should
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
State
,
who
will
blame
the
same
,
if
such
Priests
as
come
hither
out
of
Spayne
be
not
very
well
interteyned
?
Neither
shall
those
that
come
from
Rome
be
in
any
better
plight
,
now
that
father
Parsons
is
the
Rector
of
that
Seminary
:
because
it
may
be
well
supposed
,
that
he
being
no
changeling
,
his
schollers
must
either
daunce
after
his
pipe
,
or
sit
still
and
daunce
not
at
all
.
Kings
haue
bin
euer
iealous
of
their
estates
,
and
will
take
any
occasion
to
preuent
the
worst
.
Whereby
you
see
what
our
cases
are
:
he
practiseth
,
and
we
are
punished
:
the
Catholick
cause
is
greatly
indangered
and
hindered
by
him
.
To
this
good
Fathers
proceedings
,
the
death
of
Cardinall
Allane
in
the
end
of
the
yeare
1594.
and
of
the
Bishop
of
Cassane
a
little
after
,
gaue
no
little
furtherance
,
for
they
both
disliked
them
.
But
then
he
rid
in
his
owne
course
a
gallop
,
laboring
with
his
assistants
and
mates
to
perswade
as
many
as
they
could
both
in
their
sermons
and
in
their
writings
,
that
the
Catholick
faith
and
the
King
of
Spaine
were
so
lincked
together
,
as
it
was
a
point
of
necessitye
in
the
Catholick
faith
to
put
all
Europe
into
his
hands
:
else
the
Catholick
religion
would
perish
.
A
position
you
know
most
absurd
and
blasphemous
,
as
though
Gods
truth
and
religion
had
only
depended
vpon
the
old
King
of
Spayne
.
Well
,
this
foundation
layd
,
father
Parsons
assured
the
King
,
that
the
Iesuites
in
Eagland
were
so
highly
esteemed
,
so
greedely
followed
not
only
of
Catholicks
,
but
of
Protestants
that
were
of
the
wiser
sort
,
and
in
such
authoritie
,
that
he
doubted
not
but
that
shortly
the
King
should
be
in
euery
mans
hart
.
For
the
effecting
whereof
,
his
riches
,
his
greatnes
,
his
liberalitie
,
iustice
,
and
loue
towards
the
English
were
daily
commended
:
and
father
Parsons
was
inabled
to
procure
the
libertie
of
such
English
men
as
were
taken
prisoners
:
of
purpose
that
when
they
came
home
,
they
might
sound
out
the
prayses
of
the
King
of
Spayne
,
and
Parsons
.
If
you
say
we
set
not
downe
these
particulars
in
their
due
places
,
you
haue
our
excuse
before
.
About
the
yeere
1596.
the
King
of
Spayne
excited
partly
by
Father
Parsons
allurements
last
mentioned
,
and
by
other
his
seditious
associates
(
alleadging
that
Iulius
Caesar
got
not
Britaine
at
his
first
assault
)
attempted
a
second
exployt
for
Famouth
,
with
a
new
Armado
,
intending
therewith
to
haue
gotten
into
his
possession
Arwennike
Castle
,
with
the
hill
Pendennice
.
Which
Armado
as
it
was
comming
from
Lisbone
towards
Ferroll
(
the
place
of
rendeuow
)
was
greatly
scattered
in
the
way
,
so
as
34.
Ships
perished
in
one
night
,
with
the
losse
of
5000.
men
.
Thereby
the
Kings
purpose
for
that
time
was
stayed
:
but
yet
not
long
after
his
Maiestie
enterprised
the
same
attempt
againe
for
the
sayd
Castell
,
and
had
the
like
successe
:
his
Ships
were
dispersed
,
and
all
came
to
naught
.
That
Fa.
Parsons
was
likewise
acquainted
with
this
deseignement
,
if
not
a
chiefe
instigator
,
may
appeare
by
one
of
his
owne
letters
to
a
friend
of
his
in
the
yeere
1597.
We
pray
God
,
that
no
practise
or
deseignement
set
on
foote
,
either
by
this
good
Father
,
or
by
any
other
,
for
the
indāgering
of
her
Maiestie
,
or
of
our
natiue
Countrie
,
haue
euer
better
issue
,
but
may
perish
as
the
vntimely
fruit
of
a
woman
.
If
once
God
shall
be
pleased
to
restore
y
e
Catholick
faith
by
holy
&
good
meanes
,
and
that
we
may
liue
to
see
it
,
we
shall
be
very
ioyfull
men
,
hauing
so
long
(
poore
prisoners
)
expected
the
same
:
but
otherwise
we
are
content
to
languish
still
,
and
dye
in
our
sorrowes
.
We
are
almost
weary
with
raking
in
the
dunghill
of
this
good
Fathers
practises
:
and
yet
something
of
him
further
.
When
he
found
lesse
hope
by
meanes
of
the
King
of
Spayne
,
or
at
the
least
whilest
his
Maiestie
was
in
furnishing
himselfe
,
Parsons
or
his
dependants
,
Holt
and
Worthington
,
with
his
priuitie
,
if
not
aduice
(
as
Maister
Charles
Paget
noteth
)
practised
the
aduauncement
of
the
Earle
of
Darby
to
the
Crowne
of
England
.
Which
plot
being
discouered
to
the
Earle
by
a
Gentleman
one
Hesket
,
imployed
by
them
to
his
Lordship
,
he
the
sayd
Earle
as
a
most
dutifull
subiect
disclosed
their
treason
,
which
wrought
his
vntimely
death
as
many
say
.
With
this
deseignement
Maister
Charles
Browne
(
otherwise
as
true
an
harted
Catholick
as
the
prowdest
of
them
)
was
so
greatly
moued
,
as
he
writ
to
Maister
Stapleton
(
then
in
preparation
towards
Rome
)
desiring
him
to
present
to
his
holynes
certaine
articles
(
which
he
had
framed
against
these
Iesuites
,
and
then
sent
likewise
vnto
him
)
concerning
their
intituling
the
sayd
Earle
of
Darby
to
the
Crowne
,
their
dealing
with
him
,
and
the
successe
of
them
to
the
greatest
staunder
of
all
Catholicks
,
and
hurt
of
the
generall
cause
.
He
also
was
earnest
with
Maister
Stapleton
,
that
he
would
himselfe
make
knowne
to
the
Pope
what
infinite
garboyles
and
mischiefes
these
fellowes
had
stirred
vp
amongst
vs
,
whilest
his
holynes
imagined
that
they
were
laboring
faithfully
to
win
poore
soules
to
the
Catholick
faith
,
as
it
was
the
dutie
of
truly
religious
persons
.
Amongst
all
these
tragicall
deseignements
of
this
good
Father
,
we
will
tell
you
one
of
his
pretie
tricks
.
One
Maister
Fixer
a
Priest
(
hauing
a
protection
heere
in
England
from
the
Lord
Treasurer
)
was
so
vexed
and
calumniated
by
the
Iesuites
,
that
he
renounced
it
,
and
thereupon
went
into
Spayne
,
intending
to
reade
in
some
religious
house
.
Being
at
Lisbone
in
good
credit
,
he
procured
the
release
of
14.
or
15.
English
men
that
were
taken
prisoners
:
willing
them
to
thanke
Master
Bluet
and
Doctor
Bagshaw
for
their
liberty
.
Hereof
Parsons
hauing
notice
,
sent
for
him
into
Spayne
,
vnder
pretence
of
his
preferment
:
but
when
he
had
him
,
he
procured
him
to
be
layd
in
prison
for
a
spy
,
where
he
remayneth
still
,
vnlesse
he
be
dead
.
You
see
by
the
premisses
a
little
glimpse
of
this
holy
Fathers
proceedings
in
Spayne
:
and
the
rest
of
his
societie
were
no
lesse
busied
to
the
same
purpose
elsewhere
.
Howbeit
,
the
secular
Priests
both
in
Rome
and
England
did
vtterly
dislike
both
him
and
all
the
rest
with
their
so
treasonable
deseignements
against
their
owne
Countrie
:
whereof
the
King
of
Spayne
hauing
notice
,
did
write
earnestly
to
the
Pope
that
now
is
,
and
to
other
Cardinals
,
that
in
any
case
they
should
support
and
maynteyne
the
credit
of
the
Iesuites
against
the
complaints
of
the
English
,
who
without
all
cause
,
but
seduced
by
the
Queene
of
England
,
did
greatly
calumniate
them
as
he
affirmed
.
The
two
practising
Prelates
also
of
the
Low
countryes
,
Fa.
Holt
,
and
Doctor
Worthington
,
drew
a
formall
letter
supplicatiue
,
in
the
names
of
all
the
english
souldiers
,
laborers
,
artizans
,
pensioners
,
as
well
men
,
as
women
(
yea
the
very
seruing
maydes
and
laundresses
were
not
omitted
)
the
same
to
be
presented
to
y
e
King
of
Spaine
:
most
humbly
beseeching
his
Maiestie
,
in
regard
of
his
great
affection
and
care
of
England
,
and
the
afflicted
English
,
that
he
would
deale
earnestly
with
the
Pope
to
preferre
the
worthie
Father
and
Prelate
Father
Parsons
to
the
dignity
of
a
Cardinall
:
affirming
it
to
be
the
only
way
to
binde
and
vnite
the
English
to
his
Maiestie
.
In
expectation
of
the
same
prefermēt
,
and
for
what
causes
else
it
is
not
materiall
,
this
good
Father
went
out
of
Spayne
to
Rome
in
the
yeare
1597.
At
his
comming
thither
,
he
was
visited
in
his
lodging
(
or
as
they
say
courted
)
by
two
Cardinals
,
viz.
Baronius
,
and
the
other
a
Spanyard
.
Which
extraordinary
curtesie
and
honor
done
vnto
him
,
gaue
present
occasion
of
some
speeches
in
the
Citie
,
that
out
of
doubt
Father
Parsons
should
be
made
a
Cardinall
.
This
conceyt
thus
begun
in
Rome
,
ended
for
thattime
with
a
merryiest
.
For
Father
Parsons
being
counselled
by
the
Phisitions
to
keep
his
stomack
warme
,
sent
his
brother
for
scarlet
to
make
him
a
stomacher
,
who
oflikelihood
as
soone
as
euer
he
heard
the
name
of
scarlet
,
was
so
possessed
of
a
sodaine
with
an
opinion
of
his
brothers
aduancement
,
that
forgetting
his
intent
to
haue
only
a
stomacher
,
he
procured
two
Merchants
to
carry
in
a
wagon
diuers
pieces
ofscarlet
to
his
brothers
lodging
for
the
making
of
his
Cardinals
roabes
,
giuing
it
out
by
the
way
to
all
his
acquaintance
both
going
and
comming
,
that
his
brother
forthwith
should
be
made
a
Cardinall
.
When
this
good
Father
saw
such
packs
of
scarlet
brought
vnto
him
,
no
meruaile
ifhe
wondred
at
it
.
But
finding
his
brothers
error
,
he
was
in
a
great
chafe
,
and
much
confounded
,
as
easily
foreseeing
what
sport
it
would
procure
amongst
those
that
heard
of
it
.
Whereupon
in
all
haste
he
dismissed
the
sayd
Merchants
with
their
scarlets
at
a
back
dore
as
secretly
as
he
could
.
Howbeit
,
the
thing
was
so
notorious
,
as
it
could
not
be
concealed
,
and
caused
indeede
very
many
to
iest
and
laugh
at
him
.
One
,
(
a
man
little
fauored
by
this
good
father
)
hearing
hereof
,
went
in
meriment
to
his
lodging
to
congratulate
his
new
aduauncement
.
But
whē
the
father
knew
the
purpose
of
his
comming
:
yea
(
quoth
he
)
doth
he
know
it
?
It
will
be
then
in
England
within
this
fortnight
.
We
haue
before
acquainted
you
with
this
fathers
dealings
concerning
his
reading
to
the
Students
and
Priests
at
Siuill
:
of
his
discourse
for
the
Infantaes
title
:
and
now
vnderstand
further
,
that
he
was
no
sooner
seated
in
Rome
,
but
to
inure
the
Priests
and
Students
there
with
his
diabolicall
conceyts
,
he
required
that
his
english
booke
of
titles
might
be
read
publickly
in
their
refectorie
as
a
Chapter
of
the
Bible
is
read
at
such
times
in
our
Vniuersities
,
and
promised
,
that
in
so
doing
,
if
they
liked
it
,
he
would
afterwards
let
them
reade
his
high
counsell
of
reformation
.
Wherein
(
as
they
report
that
haue
seene
it
)
the
whole
Realme
of
England
is
made
a
Prouince
dependant
vpon
Spaine
and
Iesuitisme
.
The
lands
and
Segniories
of
Clergie
and
Nobilitie
and
Vniuersities
are
abridged
:
and
of
some
in
particular
in
his
vaine
and
childish
hope
are
confiscated
.
For
example
,
Cecyll
house
must
be
Casa
professa
:
and
another
house
by
it
,
there
,
Nouitiatum
.
Whereunto
an
imagined
principle
of
the
Iesuits
(
for
which
they
aduenture
both
credit
and
conscience
very
farre
)
being
added
,
viz.
that
the
Iesuits
must
preuaile
where
once
they
set
footing
,
it
maketh
many
to
condemne
them
and
wish
that
the
maske
of
religion
being
taken
from
them
(
which
by
their
occasions
and
turmoylings
is
blasphemed
)
they
might
appeare
in
their
owne
colours
,
that
the
world
might
no
longer
be
decciued
by
them
.
It
were
a
worke
of
very
great
labour
to
trace
this
fellow
in
all
his
apparant
deuises
and
practises
.
And
for
his
rules
,
whereby
both
he
and
his
adherents
doe
square
their
actions
,
they
are
vncertaine
,
and
holde
as
the
time
serueth
,
and
they
thinke
conuenient
.
If
they
haue
any
vie
of
a
man
,
they
make
faire
weather
with
him
:
and
afterwards
least
hee
should
expect
some
benefit
from
them
,
they
haue
waies
and
trickes
to
shake
him
off
very
Iesuitically
.
Maister
Barret
was
for
a
long
time
one
oftheir
chiefe
instruments
to
many
purposes
,
whom
they
requited
in
the
end
with
all
manner
of
disgraces
and
disgusts
,
euen
to
his
last
breath
.
For
example
,
Maister
Barret
being
sent
for
to
come
to
Rome
about
the
breach
of
the
students
with
the
Iesuits
,
Cardinall
Tolet
hoping
that
hee
would
haue
taken
part
with
the
students
,
intended
to
make
him
Rector
,
and
to
cast
out
all
the
Iesuits
(
as
hee
did
cast
out
sixe
)
but
Barret
contrarie
to
the
Cardinals
expectation
became
Iesuited
,
and
did
what
he
could
against
the
students
in
fauour
of
the
Iesuits
.
Whereupon
Cardinal
Tolet
reiected
him
as
an
vnworthie
man.
The
Iesuits
afterwards
sent
him
downe
to
Doway
to
his
olde
charge
:
and
Parsons
craftily
made
him
purchase
a
house
,
which
cost
1700.
Crownes
,
and
withall
stopped
at
Rome
the
Popes
pension
for
the
Colledge
two
yeeres
.
Whereupon
Doctor
Barret
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Colledge
fel
in
debt
3000.
crownes
:
the
Iesuits
all
the
while
keeping
him
from
the
annuall
pension
.
Whereupon
hee
sending
to
Rome
to
complaine
and
require
the
money
:
gentle
Father
Parsons
went
to
the
Pope
,
and
accused
him
of
excesse
and
euill
hnsbandrie
,
in
dissipating
the
Popes
pensions
,
and
suffering
the
house
to
fall
to
extremitie
,
and
intended
to
cast
him
out
,
and
place
in
the
Iesuits
,
sauing
that
his
death
preuented
it
.
I
haue
elsewhere
mentioned
vnto
you
the
Iesuiticall
axiome
of
winning
or
redeeming
of
time
:
which
is
in
effect
to
runne
with
the
time
,
in
altering
their
positions
,
so
as
they
may
best
serue
to
winne
their
desires
.
The
practise
of
which
ground
is
in
no
one
of
their
affaires
so
manifest
,
as
in
labouring
to
set
vp
,
now
this
man
,
now
that
man
,
to
attempt
the
Crowne
:
furnishing
euery
one
with
sufficient
authoritie
,
that
of
right
it
belongeth
vnto
him
.
And
true
it
is
,
that
rather
then
faile
,
they
care
not
who
hee
is
,
or
of
what
race
,
nor
of
what
nation
that
wil
step
in
for
the
Kingdome
,
so
he
be
a
Catholike
.
Father
Parsons
notwithstanding
all
his
faire
shewes
to
Spaine
,
hath
still
been
practising
from
time
to
time
,
whilest
the
Spaniard
hath
been
in
breathing
,
to
haue
raised
vp
others
to
get
the
Kingdome
if
they
could
,
and
so
to
haue
pulled
that
morsell
out
of
the
Spaniards
iawes
:
so
her
Maiestie
were
deposed
,
he
respecteth
not
by
whom
.
For
as
before
the
Earle
of
Darbie
with
his
priuitie
was
dealt
with
particularly
to
that
purpose
:
so
at
an
other
time
he
writ
a
discourse
which
was
sent
into
England
,
and
published
to
many
of
the
best
Catholicks
heere
:
that
hee
would
wish
and
aduise
them
,
when
the
commoditie
serued
,
that
they
should
make
an
election
of
some
principall
noble
English
Catholick
to
be
their
King.
But
still
when
none
neither
pretender
,
nor
people
will
be
so
mad
as
to
follow
his
deseignements
,
then
he
hath
euer
his
recourse
to
the
King
of
Spayne
:
and
at
this
time
insisteth
vpon
the
Infanta
:
debarring
himselfe
from
following
of
none
that
will
in
the
meane
time
take
Armes
against
her
Highnes
.
Maister
Charles
'
Paget
in
one
of
his
letters
telleth
vs
of
a
maxime
amongst
our
English
Iesuites
,
and
others
seduced
by
them
:
that
whosoeuer
doth
not
approue
and
aduaunce
Fa.
Parsons
and
some
of
his
followers
,
their
conceits
and
courses
touching
our
Country
and
Nation
,
though
they
be
neuer
so
foolish
,
rash
,
furious
,
scandalous
,
and
dangerous
,
nay
though
men
be
desirous
to
fit
still
,
and
meddle
nothing
with
them
,
or
their
actions
one
way
or
other
:
yet
if
he
do
not
ayde
and
assist
them
,
it
is
lawfull
;
yea
,
necessay
,
that
such
persons
be
infamed
,
by
casting
out
against
them
any
calumniations
that
may
discredit
them
.
The
practise
of
which
maxime
,
howsoeuer
Maister
Paget
learned
it
,
we
are
sure
that
many
poore
Priests
in
England
and
elsewhere
,
haue
felt
it
,
honester
men
then
either
he
,
or
many
of
his
adherents
.
The
contention
which
hath
bin
in
Rome
betwixt
our
english
Students
and
the
Iesuites
,
is
not
vnknowne
to
all
Europe
.
The
compounding
whereof
this
good
Father
taketh
to
himselfe
:
and
so
hath
ordered
the
matter
,
that
the
Iesuites
(
forsooth
)
were
alwayes
blamelesse
,
and
the
whole
fault
was
in
the
Students
.
For
further
declaration
whereof
,
the
wretch
layeth
about
him
in
one
of
his
letters
like
a
mad
man
:
insinuating
that
such
of
the
sayd
Students
as
opposed
themselues
to
the
Fathers
,
were
not
well
established
in
the
grace
of
God
when
they
came
to
Rome
,
or
had
no
due
preparation
to
the
calling
of
Priesthood
,
or
(
we
know
not
what
)
was
amisse
in
thē
Nay
,
he
spareth
not
our
mother
Citie
,
the
seate
of
Christs
Vicar
in
earth
,
but
impeacheth
the
credit
of
it
very
greatly
.
And
for
his
reports
of
vs
(
poore
men
)
that
lye
in
prison
,
and
are
subiect
to
many
dangers
,
being
ready
to
follow
our
fellowes
,
who
haue
offred
their
liues
in
the
defence
of
the
Catholick
Church
:
how
he
acquainteth
the
world
with
our
estimation
in
Rome
,
and
what
accompt
is
made
of
vs
there
,
his
sayings
following
will
declare
vnto
you
;
set
downe
as
they
stand
in
his
sayd
letter
,
dated
at
Naples
the
13.
of
Iuly
,
in
the
yeare
1598.
When
I
came
to
Rome
(
sayth
he
)
I
found
the
Colledge
as
a
field
,
with
two
hostile
camps
within
it
:
Father
generall
and
his
assistants
wholy
auersed
and
throughly
resolued
to
leaue
the
gouernment
.
And
in
an
other
place
taking
vpon
him
to
shew
the
causes
why
our
English
Students
haue
of
a
long
time
bin
so
troublesome
in
that
Colledge
,
he
writeth
thus
:
you
shall
heare
him
at
large
.
Some
thinke
that
it
is
in
great
part
the
nature
of
the
place
,
that
ingendreth
high
spirits
in
them
that
are
not
well
established
in
Almightie
Gods
grace
.
For
comming
thither
very
yong
,
and
finding
themselues
presently
placed
and
prouided
for
abundantly
,
and
acquainted
daily
with
sights
and
relations
of
Popes
,
Cardinals
,
and
Princes
affaires
,
our
youths
that
were
bred
vp
at
home
with
much
more
simplicitie
,
and
kept
vnder
by
their
Parents
and
Maisters
then
the
Italian
education
doth
comport
,
forgetteth
easily
themselues
,
and
breaketh
out
to
liberty
,
I
meane
such
as
haue
runne
astray
,
and
lost
respect
to
their
superiors
in
Rome
.
This
opinion
of
the
circumstance
of
the
place
is
greatly
increased
by
the
iudgement
of
Strangers
both
Spanyards
,
Frenchmen
,
and
Flemings
,
and
other
Nations
:
who
affirme
,
that
they
try
by
experience
their
people
that
liue
in
Rome
,
if
they
be
not
men
of
great
vertue
,
do
proue
more
headie
afterward
and
lesse
tractable
,
then
others
brought
vp
at
home
.
But
yet
to
this
,
other
men
of
our
Nation
do
adde
a
second
reason
for
the
English
Colledge
which
is
at
Rome
,
being
a
place
whereunto
many
young
men
do
resort
:
only
vpon
a
desire
of
seeing
nouelties
.
When
any
come
thither
of
the
English
Nation
,
finding
such
a
commoditie
of
study
and
maintenance
there
,
and
themselues
in
want
and
misery
,
they
made
suite
for
that
,
whereunto
perhaps
they
had
not
true
vocation
from
God
,
nor
due
preparation
in
themselues
to
so
holy
and
high
estate
.
And
so
being
once
admitted
,
fell
afterwards
to
disorder
,
and
to
put
out
of
ioynt
both
themselues
and
others
.
Thus
farre
the
Father
of
the
want
of
grace
in
some
,
and
of
a
true
calling
in
others
that
disagreed
with
the
Iesuites
:
and
how
dangerous
a
matter
it
is
for
Parents
to
send
their
children
to
Rome
,
except
they
will
haue
them
Iesuites
,
or
at
the
least
to
runne
their
tray
terous
courses
:
the
very
place
will
marre
them
.
But
now
heare
his
report
of
the
estimation
that
our
English
Students
and
Priests
haue
gotten
by
their
being
at
Rome
:
he
shall
tell
it
himselfe
.
Baronius
often
told
me
,
that
our
youths
bragged
much
of
Martyrdome
,
but
they
were
refractary
(
that
was
his
word
)
and
had
no
part
of
Martyrs
spirit
,
which
was
in
humilitie
and
obedience
.
His
holynes
oftentimes
told
me
,
that
he
was
neuer
so
vexed
with
any
Nation
in
the
world
:
for
on
the
one
side
they
pretended
zeale
and
pietie
,
and
on
the
other
,
shewed
the
very
spirit
of
the
Diuell
,
in
pride
,
contumacy
,
and
contradiction
,
&c.
And
euer
now
and
then
his
holynes
would
put
his
finger
to
his
brayne
,
signifying
that
there
stoode
their
sicknes
:
and
so
would
most
of
the
Court
when
they
talked
of
Englesye
were
Indiauoluti
,
and
like
words
.
His
holynes
added
also
that
he
knew
not
what
resolution
to
take
:
for
on
the
one
side
,
to
punish
them
openly
would
be
a
scandall
by
reason
of
the
hereticks
:
and
if
he
should
cast
them
forth
of
Rome
,
some
had
told
him
that
they
would
haue
become
hereticks
&c.
Againe
,
in
his
letter
to
Maister
Bishop
,
writing
of
the
report
that
he
the
sayd
Maister
Bishop
and
Maister
Charnock
had
made
to
the
Commissary
of
the
Inquisition
at
their
being
in
Rome
:
he
sayth
thus
to
Maister
Bishop
:
You
talked
before
your
restraint
heere
with
the
Commissary
of
the
Inquisition
,
and
you
gaue
him
such
a
relation
of
our
English
matters
,
as
afterward
when
Maister
Doctor
Haddock
and
Maister
Doctor
Array
had
talked
with
him
also
,
and
informed
him
(
as
they
thought
)
of
the
very
truths
of
matters
,
he
told
an
Honorable
man
in
Rome
,
and
a
great
friend
of
mine
,
that
foure
English
Priests
hauing
talked
with
him
,
they
had
taken
from
him
all
list
to
beleeue
any
English
men
or
matters
more
,
they
told
him
so
different
tales
,
and
yet
all
of
them
would
seeme
to
be
men
of
zeale
.
And
againe
,
thus
he
writeth
in
the
other
letter
:
I
haue
heard
his
holynes
often
,
and
diuers
Cardinals
more
often
,
repeate
with
exceeding
dishonor
to
our
Nation
,
the
headynes
and
obstinacie
of
our
youths
:
so
as
now
many
great
and
wise
men
begin
to
suspect
,
that
the
sufferings
of
our
blessed
Martyrs
and
Confessors
in
England
was
not
so
much
for
vertue
and
loue
to
Gods
cause
,
as
of
a
certaine
choler
and
obstinate
will
to
contradict
the
Magistrate
there
.
What
thinke
you
Sir
ofthese
reports
by
Parsons
?
In
what
case
are
we
poore
Priests
?
The
chiefe
cause
of
our
affliction
is
our
defending
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
therein
his
holynes
authoritie
.
And
thinke
they
no
better
of
vs
for
it
?
If
this
do
come
to
the
knowledge
of
our
aduersaries
,
what
aduantage
will
they
make
of
it
?
Wo
worth
that
Iesuiticall
broode
,
that
to
mayntaine
their
ambition
,
haue
wrought
vs
this
discredit
.
We
haue
bin
in
better
reputation
with
his
holynes
,
and
so
we
hope
to
be
agayne
,
when
this
Machiuilian
companion
shall
reape
the
shante
himselfe
of
this
report
.
For
it
is
not
possible
,
if
euer
his
holynes
will
be
pleased
to
be
informed
of
him
,
but
that
he
will
reward
him
with
ignominy
,
as
he
hath
deserued
.
You
know
our
estates
at
home
,
and
you
haue
heard
what
estimation
both
we
and
all
our
Nation
haue
at
Rome
,
if
Parsons
write
truly
,
as
we
trust
he
doth
not
.
Our
chiefest
hope
must
therefore
be
in
her
Maiesties
goodnes
and
mercie
towards
vs
,
to
graunt
vnto
vs
,
if
it
be
possible
the
libertie
of
our
consciences
.
But
herein
obserue
this
viperous
Iesuite
.
At
the
league
of
peace
betweene
the
French
and
the
Spanish
Kings
,
there
was
a
rumor
that
the
Queene
would
enter
into
that
league
,
and
so
graunt
a
toleration
of
religion
:
which
Parsons
did
vtterly
dislike
;
saying
,
that
either
they
would
haue
all
or
none
;
they
will
admit
of
no
conditions
.
And
his
reason
is
this
:
because
(
sayth
he
)
a
toleration
would
make
the
Catholicks
of
England
dull
,
and
without
spirit
.
It
is
indeede
quicknes
that
this
Father
desireth
,
but
such
a
quicknes
,
as
deserueth
a
quick
dispatch
at
the
Gallowes
.
We
trust
he
shall
neuer
draw
our
Catholicks
heere
to
any
such
quicknes
:
but
that
after
our
dull
manner
we
shall
for
euer
continue
her
Maiesties
most
faithfull
subiects
:
and
with
such
quicknes
as
becommeth
vs
,
oppose
our selues
to
his
restles
,
quick
,
and
bloudy
deseignements
against
our
Countrie
.
But
obserue
we
pray
you
that
we
say
:
our
hope
is
thus
of
all
English
Catholicks
,
which
hope
may
be
subiect
to
some
little
doubt
,
especially
if
his
wicked
platforme
do
proceede
heere
amongst
vs
:
that
all
Catholicks
must
hereafter
depend
vpon
Blackwell
,
and
he
vpon
Garnet
,
and
Garnet
vpon
Parsons
,
and
Parsons
vpon
the
Diuell
:
who
is
the
author
of
all
rebellions
,
treasons
,
murthers
,
disobedience
,
and
all
such
deseignements
as
this
wicked
Iesuite
hath
hitherto
deuised
against
her
Maiestie
,
her
safety
,
her
Crowne
,
her
Kingdome
,
and
her
life
.
So
as
our
conclusion
shall
be
with
a
branch
,
which
we
will
alwayes
remember
as
an
addition
when
we
say
the
Letany
:
à
Machinationibus
Parsoni
,
libera
nos
Domine
.
And
thus
wee
end
:
desiring
God
to
blesse
vs
all
.
Amen
.
