A08691	The copie of a letter sent from Paris to the reverend fathers of the Society of Iesus, who liue in England Containing an answere to the calumniations of the Anti-Coton against the same Society in generall, and Fa. Coton in particular.; Copie of a letter sent from Paris to the reverend fathers of the Society of Jesus, who live in England.	Owen, Thomas, 1557-1618.	1611 (1611)	STC 18999; ESTC S104535	49,876	96

would make the simpler sort belieue tha Fa. Coton had only affirmed that their Kings had those priuiledges in France it self wheras it is euident that those wordes in France haue not refereÌ„ce to the priuiledges but to the Kings themselues And besides my Author sheweth that he could not speak properly in any other maÌ„ner because to say our Kings of France is noe very good French if he had only sayd our Kinges it had beene to generall and might haue been wrested by a malicious Aduersarie to other Kings aswell as to those of France The eleuenth the same carping humor which they vse in misinterpreting and wresting to a contrary sense the writings of Catholickes they practice no lesse in calumniating their actions As for example wheras Fa. Coton was beloued by the late King they say that he had bewitched him He was his Confessarius that is in their interpretation a flatterer He was his Preacher that is he praised him The King heard him willingly so many yeares that is say they he kept others backe He esteemed his spirit wisdome and eloquence that is in their opinion F. Coton spake ill of all and murmured against others The King would haue him with him at his meales in his Coach and when he went to walke this they interprete that the Father intruded himselfe euery where The King did willingly see his writings read somtimes a Manuall of Praiers which he dedicated to the Queene this say they was to flatter God and to bring him a sleepe with wordes that sauour of his quean The King tooke pleasure in his discourses proposed to him diuers questions out of which they inferre that the Father was a man of incredible impudeÌ„cy The King did willingly see him at al times and in all places as well after so many yeares as in the beginning which they call to be tyed to the Kings girdle to assiege his spirit The King denied him nothing that he demaunded the cause wherof in their iudgment was because he would take no denyall The King was very beneficiall to the Society aswell in respect of the affection which he bare to the whole Order in generall as in regard of Fa. Coton in particuler which they would haue to be by reason of F. Cotons extorsion and importunity The King founded them Colledges and gaue them meanes to liue for which cause they compare the Society to a Canker which alway gaineth ground The K. permitteth them to haue a Nouitiate in the Suburbs of S. Germain by which they vnderstand an inclosure wherin a Citty may stand The Society haue more Schollers then others haue the cause therof say they is for that they take nothing for washing and candles Their Sermons are frequented with great concourse because in their interpretation they seduce the people and preach sedition Many goe to them for the resolution of their doubts or to confesse their sinnes the reason of this say they is because they get whole inheritances into their hands They are beloued of the Princes which these men calumniate saying that Fa. Coton maketh himselfe their fellow They are mantained by the Nobility Parlament other Magistrats of France for which cause the Hugonots say that they haue their Schollers and disciples in all places They are sent by God to represse heresie these men answere that France was Catholicke before the Iesuits were in the world they say not that France was not so infected with heresie before themselues They are learned and skilfull in all languages and sciences for this cause in the iudgment of some that is of the ignorant or malicious they will destroy learning They are vertuous and for all that the heretiks haue raised inuented and published against them they could neuer prooue any thing hitherto and therfore are inforced to say that they dissemble and to call them hypocrites Finally they esteeme that which is white blacke that which is sweet sower and that which is good and coÌ„mendable in the opinion of others is naught and detestable in theirs The twelueth deceipt which the Hugonots vse is to call those seditious which answere them and to calumniate such as maintaine the accused terrifying their friends and reprehending them as though they were the occasioÌ„ of all the inconuenieÌ„ces which come by seditious writings And in this many Catholiks are much misled being vnacquainted with the humor of hereticks who like to their Maister the Diuell vse to fawn and yeeld to those who are at defiance with them and resist them manfully but assault those fiercely whom they see moderate or fearfull Which was the cause that the ancient Fathers S. Iustin Tertullian S. Athanasius S. Chrysostome S. Hierome S. Tho. of Aquin S. Bonauenture wrote so many learned and earnest Apologies in the defence of Christian Religion and Religious orders And surely it is very strange that any should thinke much at the answers of the innocent party hauing beene prouoked by so many false caluÌ„niations and bitter inuectiues Of which we need go no further for an example then to that which passed in Paris before F. Coton wrote his Declaratorie Epistle The thirteenth is that so soone as any Minister hath set forth a booke fraught with lyes deceipts slanders it serueth for many other to write vpon the same subiect with any little alteration or addition And of this my Author produceth many exaÌ„ples both of former times at this present For after the Anti-Coton came out diuers other Pamphlets here in Paris to the same purpose which my Author briefly examineth in 5. or 6. leaues But I find nothing worth the mentioning except I should tell you that they raile bitterly against a certaine Gentleman called Monsieur de Courbouzen Montgomery a man of great valour wisdome desert who hath lately forsakeÌ„ the Hugonots after long disputations with them insomuch that none of them dare encouÌ„ter with him any more But he glorieth esteemeth it a great honour to be thus abused and hated by Gods enymies The fourteenth obseruation which my Author maketh is that the sinnes transgressions of the Hugonots ought not to be so little esteemed among Catholikes so that when they eate flesh in Lent laugh at the holy Sacrifice of Masse raile at the Pope break Images or teare pictures burne Reliques taking the Reliquaries to themselues and commit such other abuses incideÌ„t to their deformed Religion many make light of it in a manner think it lawfull for them to doe these thinges because they are Hugonots wheras the truth is that an Heretike sinneth more in comitting these things then if he were a Catholike Which appeareth plainly in the sin of Rebellion Treason where he who not only reuolteth against his King but maintayneth also that his RebellioÌ„ is iust seking to draw others after him teaching that all those are in euill estate who will not ioyne with him in that wicked action committeth a far greater offence then another who falleth into

could not get one to discouer the complices Thirdly this calumniator himselfe may iustly be called in question why he did not bring forth these witnesses sooner That which followeth of Pope Sixtus 5. his speach and concerning Guignard is affirmed without proofe and some things of most importance are plaine falsifications and grounded only vpon flying and vulgar reports as would appeare if the processe it selfe might be seene Of which sort that also seemeth to be of his being placed among the martyrs of the Society since that as my Author testifieth he is not so much as in those catalogues which were printed at Rome Wherefore these and such other fraudulent malicious inuentions are sufficiently confuted by that which is certayn that the Fathers of the Society forsake father and mother leauing their riches and hopes of preferment go to the Indies and new found land are vsed and loued by the greatest Princes of the world honoured in Italy France Spayne Polonia Germany Aethiopia Iaponia China where they haue very many Colledges and are exceedingly desired in all places being esteemed one of the chiefest vpholders of the faith sent by Gods prouidence in the same time that Luther and Caluin apostated and therefore no meruaile though they be so hated by Hereticks and persecuted by all Schismatikes I shal not need to tell the Reader how falsly the booke intituled De iusta abdicatione Henrici 3. is insinuated to be written by a Iesuit since that it is manifest that they had nothing to do with it no more then with that other of Franciscus Verona Constantinus who wrote the Apology for Iohn Chastell Anti-Coton writeth pag. 28. that F. Fronton du Duc had affirmed to Monsieur Cazaubon that Pag. 72. it were better that all Kinges should be slayn then that one Confession should be reuealed All which notwithstanding is conuinced of falsity by a letter written by Monsieur Cazaubon himselfe to the same Father in these wordes Quod scribis de Anti-Cotono ego verÃ² palÃ m dixi apud multos auctorem libri quisquis ille sit parÃ¹m sibi cÃ¹m illa scriberet cauisse quÃ²d me non adierit si fecisset numquam dixisset ea te mihi dixisse quae profecto non dixisti Concerning that which you write of Anti-Coton I haue openly sayd before many that the Author of that booke whosoeuer he be prouided not well for himselfe when he wrote so in not repayring to me which if he had done he would neuer haue sayd that you sayd those thinges to me which certeynly you sayd not Pag. 106. I will not omit that friuolous obiection that before the Society was in the world no man had euer heard that the liues of Kings were assaulted vnder the shadow of Religion which my Author deseruedly calleth an outragious and iniurious lye ioyned with a manifest contradiction for if he speake absolutly of violent death can he be ignorant that the Caesars Neroes Domitians dyed such Hath he neuer read the history of that Countrey in which they be recited an horrible detestable and lamentable thing by dozens Did not the Satyricall Poet write long since as the meanest schollers know Ad generum Cereris sine caede sanguine pauci Descendunt Reges sicca morte Tyranni And if he vnderstandeth it of the pretext of religion and conscience is not this a cloke that is now worne out hauing bin vsed so much Is not this the pretext vnder which all factious and rebellious spirits haue euer couered their reuolutions rebellions and murthers Is not this also to contradict himselfe hauing in the beginning of his Libell told vs that Lewes Duke of Orleans brother to King Charles the 6. was slayn by Iohn Duke of Burgundy and this murther defended by Iohn Petit vnder the colour of conscience But let him vnderstand it as he will saith my Author we returne it vpon him say truly that before Caluin preached at Geneua and others of his sect at Rochell Nimes and Mont-auban no man had heard tell eyther of the conspiracy of Amboyse for the treason of Meaux nor the surprising of Orleans Bourges Lyons and of so many other Cittyes nor of the battels of Moncontour Iarnac S. Denis or of so many Lance-knights Reystres called into France against France this against the State vnder the shadow of religion by those who cal themselues the Reformers of the world Wheras the Society is no more cause of that which is obiected then the other Religious Orders which came into France a little before or in the same time or a little after it We may likewise say that before the Apostles begaÌ„ to follow our Sauiour ther was no speach of the treason of Iudas yet it followeth not from hence that S. Peter S. Iohn are to be blamed Must the concurrence of times communicate all the sinnes which are committed to al that are then aliue If this reason were of force we should by the same attribute to the Fathers the perfection of al mechanical arts warlike exployts of Policy Philosophy Diuinity c. which haue flourished since the Society begaÌ„ As therfore this would be a great presuÌ„ption in them to attribute these things vnto theÌ„selues so likewise it is an intolerable malice in others to impute vnto theÌ„ those infamous atteÌ„pts I wil not go forward as my Author doth to confute this fellowes fooleries who compareth France to the temple of Adonis the Iesuites to Lyons and Tygers and Spaine to a desert or wildernesse out of which they should come Wherfore omitting this and comming to his particular obiections my Author sheweth at large out of Fa. Richeome how vnprobable it is that any of the Society were of Chastels Councel since than no force of torment could euer bring that yong man to confesse any such matter which no doubt God would haue brought to light how obstinate soeuer the offeÌ„der had bin if they had bin faulty Anti-Coton also falsifieth the Registers of the Court making them to affirme that Chastell had studied Diuinity vnder F. Gueret wheras that Father at that time had not heard one yeare of Diuinity himselfe He affirmeth likewise out of the same that Chastell had confessed his being in a chamber of meditations painted round about with diuels wheras there was neuer any such chamber at all as they can testify who visited the Colledge and among an hundreth thousand Schollers which the Society hath had in France no one can be produced that euer did see any such Chamber And what can be more desired to shew the innocency of the Society then that F. Gueret himselfe who was thought most guilty was sent back being cleared by the Court after both ordinarie and extraordinarie examinations As for their expulsion which notwithstanding ensued heerupon and the Pyramis which was erected to their disgrace my Author sayth that he will not say with some that it proceeded from the sway of the time nor with others
