a suspicion that they studied Alchymy and having since that seen in the hands of Marsan a little ingot of silver and pieces made exactly round but not stamped they were confident they intended them no other impression then what the King put upon those of the same preparation To this may be added that James Bocherel one of the Coadjutors of the Society h●d observed that Clumac had spent a whole day at the Crown-Abby in taking the figures of severall pieces of silver in Sand and since that time when they were both seized there were found about them many new pieces like those that are but just brought from the mint I suppose the Reader is by this time satisfyed that I have not only insisted upon conjectures such as may be thought sufficient to bring these criminalls to the rack but that I have produced certaine and convictive prooffs such as might bring Barons and Marquesses to a great hazard of their necks if they were brought to tryall for such a crime The Scholer whose industry and simplicity they wrought upon to prepare the materialls was a young man named Ville-neufue borne in Rochefocaud and was a student in the second classe in the yeare aforesaid 1641. He who was the principall instrument to bring the businesse to light and put in an information against them to the Provinciall Pitard was one Michael Brunet then Regent of the fifth Classe in the Colledge of Engoulesme and now a Counseller of the King in the Presidial Court at Rochell otherwise called Monsieur de Ronsay who not able to endure there should be a crime of that nature among persons who make so great a profession of vertue thought himselfe obliged in conscience to reveale it He is a person of too much honour not to beare witnesse to the truth it being supposed that he be jur●dically interrogated and as in the sight of God Monsieur Guithen who was then Regent of the third classe brought me among diverse others to see the charcole and the linnen cloathes which these Coyners had made provision of and disposed under the second classe having to that pu●pose taken up one of the plankes Stephen du N●yer then Rector and Bertrand Valade digg'd up the instruments such as hammers bellowes and other uten●●ils which they had buried under ground the more to conceale the crime which yet God in his justice hath sou●d out a means to bring to light to the confusion of a Body which imposes penances upon its members for speaking at night after Letanies and yet fosters in its bosome Coyners and casters of counterfeit mony In a word though all things seeme to speake and cry out against these ungracious villaines and that the crimes wherewith they are charged be of the highest nature yet are they not only suf●ered to live in France but to raise up their heads above all others even in those great Cities which they defile with their abhominable attempts Whence we may well inferre that there must needs be some other Tribunal some other world some kind of life after this wherein the crimes committed here may receive their punishment and the vertues that are now slighted their recompence otherwise it is to be conceived that it is the fate of vertue to be alwayes in chaines and the Prerogative of Vice to be ever upon the Throne May it please that God who hath the hearts of Kings in his hands to illuminate the understanding of our great Monarch that when he is arrived to Majority he may cleanse the Kingdom of the Lillyes of so many filthinesses and abhominations if our incomparable Queen do not before ease her beloved Son of that trouble CHAP. XII Discovering the Ingratitude and exasperation of the Jesuits against those that had highly obliged them THat famous man who describing the ungratefull and the vindicative said of the former that the good turne made no greater in●pression on their apprehensions then the lightest feather does on the harde●t substance and that indignation was a massy weight of lead in the minds of the latter hath in two words given a most pertinent character of the manners and dispositions of the Jesuits Revenge is a serpent that hath dispersed its venom through this Scciety to such an uncurable degree that when they have received any discourtesy they would gladly eat the flesh suck the marrow and drink the blood of their Enemies if it lay in their power The excesse of their choler does somtimes force them into such furious transportations that they would go into Church-yards were they not deterred by shame to dig out of the ground the c●rkases of those who had any way disobliged them in their life time for so poore a satisfaction as that of exercising their cruelty on rotten and corrupted bodies Do but consider what mercy they have had on the ashes of the Surin's and Pasquier's that had some time incens'd them and whether they have not written bookes to blast their memories after their death out of a reflection on the feare they were in of their writings while they lived Read but the book called Recherches des Recherches or the Inquisition of Inquisitions written by Garassus and you will find that it could proceed from no other dictation then that of Brutality to write to a person departed this world that he was assured of his damnation The calumnies invented by him to defame that great man are so many demonstrations of the implacability of their ●ury insomuch that they seeme to have an execration for all those excellent things which made their adversary so famous and their malice is equally directed against his children and his Friends Should a man but see them crowching at the feet of Bishops nay so far as to take oft their night-caps to kisse their hands he might haply thence imagine that in point of respects they so much exceed all other Ecclesiasticks as their knees are bent lower and their reverences speak more externall humility But when he comes on the other side to consider the oppositions they make to their Regulations the secret persecutions they perpetually raise against them the paines they take and the insinuations and sycophancy they make use of to bring them into an odium in the spirits of Kings he will easily find that they have no other designe then to bring them into the greatest contempt imaginable Was it not the Jesuits that egged on the Regular Orders to unite in a plot to violate the priviledges of the Clergie and to dilate the power and heighten the authority of the Pope to their prejudice Was not F. Sabbatheri Procurator of the Assembly held at La Mercy in Bourdeaux against the Arch-bishop When some Bishop or other makes choice of them to preach in his Cathedrall admits a Rector or some professed man of the Society into his congregation or haply unites some fat benefice to their house that Bishop shall be a person of some worth in their apprehensions and it is not impossible they

signe of any coming out again and being perswaded that they live very frugally spending little in food and cloathing take thence occasion to imagine theyhave vast treasuries and that they lay the foundations of tumults and di●turbances and think they do that which is unjustifiable when having all the accommodations of this life they are nevertheless such importunate Beggers and intrench so much upon others that are in necessity and upon these grounds conclude them worthy hatred Est intolerabilis res poscere nummos contemnere Indixisti pecuniae odium hoc professus es hanc personam induisti agenda est Iniquissimum est te pecuniam sub gloriâ eg●statis acquirere T is an insupportable thing in a man to be desirous of mony and at the same time to contemne it Thou hast declared hostility against wealth thou must prosecute it thou hast undertaken that part thou must needs act it 'T were an unjust thing in thee to grow rich under the name and pretence of poverty Another thing that brings an odium on the society is the insufferable pride of some Jesuits who conceive such an over-weening of themselves that because there are some among them very eminent for their worth and learning they presently imagine they ought also to be accounted such behaving themselves arrogantly and crying out Who but we Jesuits Hence comes it that they would not have any man accounted an Orator Poet Philosopher or Divine unless he be a Jesuit or at least have been a disciple of the society They would have men look on the society as the ware house of all wisdome nay would so farre monopolize all Literature to themselves as not to allow any the least reputation of learning if he did not acknowledge it derived from the Jesuits Whence it comes that besotted with a strange perswasion of their abilities they in●olently trample on the most learned pass their censures on their writings with as much contempt as if they were the compositions of those that come to hear their Lectures and thus do they presume to exercise a certain Tyranny in letters To what hath be●n said may be added that it is ordinary with them to make use of the interest they have with Princes to protect and shew favour to the greatest malefactors thus abusing the goodness of their Soveraigns meerly to make oft●ntation of their own power as also to draw in others that is in a manner to encourage them to mischief out of hopes of impunity Nay they are so strangely besotted with an insupportable humour of being the managers an disposers of all things that they think it nothing to raise misapprehensions and dissatisfactions between subjects and their lawful Magistrates and stick not to fasten any calumnies and disgraces on those Soveraign Princes who are not at their lure Nor were it any difficult matter to give in●tances thereof but out of tenderness to the reputation of the Princes therein concerned I forbear them Lastly their Curiosity is none of the lea●t causes of the aversion conceived against them They are come to that height of it in Rome that they generally commence themselves in all affairs and transactions there being nothing relating to Religion private or publick interest that they can endure should be essected without their agency and sollicitation He therefore that is desirous of a Canonry an Abbacy or a Presidents place must above all things be sure to make his addresses to the Jesuits Moreover in matter of farre greater concernment such as may be the making of great matches nothing thrives unless the Jesuits are employed in the management of the business His Holiness Paul● in the setling disposal and improvement of his Domestick affairs makes use of the Procurator of the Jesuits a person it seems so much in favour with him that though he hath hardly the face of a man and very little acquaintance with Letters he intends to honour with a Cardinals cap to requite the fertility of his brain in finding out projects to raise mony and his dexterity in removing the Obstructions arising therein In so much that he hath not only the priviledge to come into his Holiness's presence when others such as the Ambasdors of Princes are forced to attend but also to bring in what persons he pleases along with him Whence it is manifest how far more advantageous it is for a man to be well-skilled in contriving ways to raise moneys then in providing for mens souls at least among those who though they have undertaken the direction of souls redeemed by the pretious blood of Jesus Christ either know not what a soule is or make no more account of a mans then they would do of a fishes and reflect no more on the duty lies upon them then onely the word Fishing whereby it is allegorically expressed as being such as among whom that person should not have wanted entertainment who give out of him self that he had rather with Paracelsus have found the soule of Gold then that of the Elector of Saxony Since therefore the Jesuits are to be numbred among those who so they get gold and silver are not much troubled by what means it comes as putting in practice that of the Poet who sayes Vnde habeas quaerit nemo sed oportet habere how can they avoid the imputation of Busy-bodies and the censure of a polypragmatical curiosity as being such as can with so much ●ase divert their thoughts to affairs of so different a nature For though the Pope hath a power of dispensation as to things inconsistent that is of exempting those from the penalties of the Laws who enjoy such spiritual emoluments as the Canons make them incapable of yet is it the peremptory doctrine of Christ that the same man cannot both serve God and Mammon that is seek the Kingdome of God and have his thoughts taken up with the getting of mony Ye cannot saith the Apostle serve God and Mammon Be not over-carefull as to your so●le what shall eat nor yet as to your body what ye shall put on f● these things do the Gentiles seek after But seek ye t● Kingdome of God and the righteousness thereof Thus coul neither the Apostles themselves nor can the Pope wh have succeeded them seek both the Kingdome of Go and mony for as our Saviour saith he who loves a● bears with the one must needs hate and despise the other much less is it in the power of the P ope to favour th Jesuits with such a priviledge as that of prosecuting s●veral things at the same time Let therefore the Jesuits take it into consideratio● who profess themselves but to be Janus's at least di●semble not this earnestness and pursuance of things i● compatible how they can avoid incurring the deserve hatred not only of Hereticks but even of Catholicks them selves For my part it is many years since I took ver● much offence at their over-curiosity when
