prudent a counsell as her Maiesties is if not for a toleration of our rites at least for a mitigation of our aggriefes in the meane time Thus write the priestes out of these words I note first that the papists expect a day viz. the death of her Maiestie eyther naturall or violent whose happie life and victoirous raigne God blesse with Nestors yeares and defend her sacred person her honour crowne and royall scepter from all trayterous attempts and bloody designements of the Pope Spaniard Iesuite and other disloyall papists now and euer I note secondly that the priests expect trouble rather then peace in their long wished change and conquest I note thirdly that the priests boldly anouch that her Maiesties graue counsellers cannot preuent the mischiefe that the disloyall papists are able to worke in this land I note fourthly that they proudly and malepeartly like saucie malcontents auaunt their partie to be so great after fortie yeares persecution that the Queenes power must stand in feare thereof I note fiftly that they seeme to haue conceiued an hope that they shall as it were with bigge words and threats enforce a toleration to be granted them Where me th●●ke they should rather feare to procure sharper measure to them selues in time to come then to liue in hope of any toleration My reasons are these First because where they would haue rendred humble thanks for her Maiesties great clemencie they contrariwise bragge of their great partie which her Maiestie might haue cut short before this day Secondly because if their partie be great and strong as they auaunt it is there is greater cause to keepe them vnder and suppresse then to giue them more scope by granting a toleration Paragraph V. Of the popish Catholike religion of Secular priests and why it is called Catholike THus write the Catholike secular priests of their popish Catholike religion Is there any sinne deare Catholikes rising vpon infirmitie and frailtie of man committed by an apostate an infidell an heretike an atheist cast out of the fauour of God and accursed out of his Church but a Catholike may often hath fallen into the saire and yet remained constant in his religion to death questionlesse there is not As innumerable examples of treasons of murthers of adulteries of incests of drunkennes of cusnage of what not vice doth verifie it in all nations in all times sexes and sorts of people These words are set down in their preface to their important considerations a little from the beginning thereof Note heere gentle reader many most excellent epithites which the secular Romish priests ascribe to themselues and to their Romish or popish Catholikes Viz. That they may be traytors murtherers adulterers incestuous persons drunkerds co●seners and all manner malefactors and yet be popish catholiks good enough constant in the popish religion vnto death If the papists thēselues had not written thus who would haue beleeued me none at all But Gods spirit hath enforced their owne pennes to testifie the truth against themselues Out of this their plaine doctrine and open confession these golden corollaries are deduced euidently First that the popish religion may fitly be termed Catholike that is to say generall or vniuerall and the professors of the same religion Catholikes that is generalls For in good sooth if they speake truly of themselues all vices generally are in themselues and they are generally vitious as their letters patents tels vs. Secondly that where they imagine there is a purgatorie after this life it may seeme that such their opinatiue doctrine proceeded of their most beastly liuing For treasons murthers adulteries incests drunkennes cou●enage and al vices that can be must needs haue a purgation doubtlesse And consequently these notorious vices remayning in popish Catholikes vnto death no maruell if they dreamed of a popish new no purgatorie after this life Thirdly that the popish religion cannot be good For as Saint Iames saith cap. 1. pure and sound religion is this to keepe our selues vnspotted of this world And therefore seeing popish religion may stand with such vices it cannot be good Paragraph VI. Of the Romish late English Archpriest and the excellencie of his creation IN good sooth we thinke his mastership as farre to blame as eyther of them or more in that being a secular priest he doth so tyrannize ouer his owne brethren by calling and hath not the wit to see how he is abused and made a puppie to dance after their pipe and to execute what they doe commaund him These words are set downe in the preface to their relation In another place thus Because none are iudged vertuous that oppose themselues selues against the Iesuites or refuse to worship their Iesuiticall idoll our Arch-priest But in good sooth master Blackwell speake truly man doth not that contention in some sort touch your high authoritie Was it not the ground of it Did not our garboyles beget your greatnes If master Weston had preuailed with vs master Garnet would haue wiued your nose for dealing like a young prince abroad as you doe And therefore indeed in a right goodsense wee are your good masters and so you ought to esteeme vs. These words are set downe in the same preface to their relation Note heere gentle reader these important points with me First that the popish priests in this Realme are so multiplied and become so strong and mightie and haue conceiued so firme and constant hope of their abilitie shortly to accomplish their long wished conquest that they haue desired their Pope to appoint presently some bishoppe or bishoppes ouer them What would these boysterous Nimrods doe if a toleration were granted them if they be so sawcie malepeart and peremptorie when they are in some sort by law kept vnder and supprest what troubles what garboyles what sedition and treacherie would they stirre vp thinke you If the magistrates should fauour them in such sort as they desire I doubt not but her Maiesties wise and graue counsellers doe sufficiently see what marke these good fellowes ayme at Secondly that the Iesuites labour with tooth and nayle that they may haue all and ouerrule all And when they could not preuaile therein as they wished directly their solemne vowe withstanding it they brought to passe by indirect meanes that an Arch-priest to their liking is appointed ouer all This Lordly Arch-priest is George Blackwell forsooth I know the man right well He is made a puppie to daunce as the Iesuites pipe vnto him For he is the Iesuiticall idoll as the priests write and dareth to doe nothing but as they commaund him neyther may hee refuse to execute whatsoeuer they will haue done Thirdly that it is true which I probably foretolde long since in my booke of motiues viz. That as the Romish English seminarie beganne with an vngodly oath and dissention so it would continue vnto the end And I pray you is it not this day apparant to the world You see it it can not bee

Note heere gentle Reader that this sweete harmonie betweene the Pope the Iesuites and the Secular priests were able to make an horse to breake his halter And doubtlesse the Pope yea many Popes successiuely haue thus commaunded them as shall appeare in the due place of this discourse The Iesuites holde this position for a constant doctrine that the people may depose their princes and choose others at their pleasures haue they any or no right to the Crown that is not materiall so it be done ad Deum that is by our interpretation as the Iesuites shall appoint it Héere we would haue you to note an other rule of our english Iesuites which must concurre with that of ordine ad De●m 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 obtaine the Crowne of England then in that case the people are to haue a right to doe what they list so they will choose one of them for their soueraigne These expresse words are set downe by the priests in their sparing Discouerie Page 14. 15. quodl 3. art 4. pag. 68. Note heere gentle reader that the Iesuites and their complicies are not imprisoned or put to death for religion as they would leaue the world to thinke but for ●●at treason and purposely intended rebellion For so much their owne pennes by Gods prouidence doe here testifie as you see And consequently politicke godly and very necessarie are the 〈…〉 in that case prouided While the inuasion was talked of and in preparation in Spayne Richard Hesket was set on by the Iesuites 1592. or there abouts with father Parsons consent knowledge to haue stirred vp the Earle of Darbie to rebellion against her highnesse Not long after father Holt the Iesuite and others with him perswaded an Irish man one Patri●cke Collen as he himselfe confessed to attempt the laying of his violent and villanous hands vpon her Maiestie Shortly after 1593. that notable stratag●me was plotted for Doctor Lopez the Queenes phisition to haue poysoned her This wicked designement being thus preuented by Gods prouidence the said traiterous Iesuite Holt and others did allure and animate one Yorke and Williams to haue accomplished that with their bloodie hands that the other purposed to haue done with his poyson we meane her Maiesties destruction Heereunto we may adde the late villanous attempt 1599. of Edward Squire animated and drawen thereunto as he confessed by Walpole that pernitious Iesuite These words are set downe in the important considerations Page 33 see chap. 4. paragraph 6. of Walpoole the Iesuite The Iesuites laboured in Fraunce euen the french Iesuites themselues to haue lifted the Spaniard into the throne of that kingdome with the consequent ouerthrow of their owne natiue countrey All Christendome to their perpetuall shame ring loudly of it They made great stirre in Spayne to perswade the king to inuade England yeelding to him many reasons why he was bound to vndertake that enterprise and assuring him of great assistance if once his forces were landed Hereunto may be added how many they haue intituled to the Crowne of England as the Duke of Parma the Earle of Darbie and others exciting some of them by force of armes to assaile her Maiestie and buzzing into their eares how easily the scepter might be wrung out of her hands and they obtaine it But most pertinent to the purpose 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 wherein they gaue her such an interest as they make the kings of this land for many yeares to haue béene vsurpers These words are to be read in their discouerie Page 8. quodl 9. art 2. pag. 288. The Iesuites take pleasure to scatter rumors and to suggest certaine nouelties in the eares of Catholikes yea to forge and inuent things that are not insomuch as they are commonly held now a daies great lyars and it is come to passe that though they sweare men wil not beléeue them These words are set downe in the Relation Page 73. quodlibet 2. art 6. pag. 39. CHAP. III. Of the excessiue expences and great gallantrie of the Iesuites THe Iesuites endeuour by all meanes possible that both those almes which are giuen for the relief of them that are in prison or any other poore afflicted whatsoeuer as also whatsoeuer is paid in cases of dispensation may come to their hands Now what is done with this money we know not Prisons and Colledges are depriued of the great summes the banished haue them not the priests sée them not but there are hired here with seditious persons deuisers of fables slaunderers of their brethren and scorners of the saints are herewith enriched these and such as these receiue large stipends of their labours And yet so great a masse of monies cannot be consumed but that the fathers bestow much vpon themselues For they goe in déed in great gallantrie no Iesuite goeth to visit any one or trauelleth from one place to another but he is richly apparrelled and is attended on with a great traine of seruants as if he were a Baron or an Earle They wrangle and reprooue the priests garments and spendings whereas the expences of one Iesuite were able to maintaine twentie priests richly Neither by this meanes also could so great a quantitie of almes be wasted but that as the report goes much treasure is conueyed beyond the seas but to what purpose we know not vnlesse it be bestowed vpon their bodie their corporation or societie These words are to be found in the Relation Page 70. See the tenth Preamble and note it well The Iesuites became our collectors or rather not ours but their owne to whom for their accounts the false Steward in the gospell may giue place One Iesuite hath taken at times aboue 500 pound that was giuen to the imprisoned priests then at W●●●● and imployed the same at his owne pleasure Percie the Iesuite escaping from Wisbish tooke fraudulently from benefactors abroad 57. pound 17. shillings and the yeare 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 aboue their owne expences which are excéeding great they haue beene able to send out long since 2200. pound towards the Low countries To scrape together so much money they haue many sleights besides their apparant consenages frauds and thefts before mentioned Thus they write in their discouerie Page 19.

gentle reader the wealth pride and saucie deceitfull dealing of the Iesuites to be such and so great that if they remaine a while vnpunished they will not onely ouerrule the priests but our noble Queene and all Paragraph V. Of the peremptorie and seditious dealing of Iesuites THe Iesuits by cunning haue gotten into their hands all authoritie good estimation and all the treasure of money and so doe what they list at home and abroade They thrust out and let in hire and buy and maintaine factions at their pleasure These words are to be found in the memoriall page 75. The Iesuits haue purchased them an hard opinion of all religious orders euen so farre forth as to bee written against by some of them in most parts of christendome ex professo and in particular are banished for such out of all the most christian kingdome of Frāce as also for their Spanish faction there where for all their great meanes and flattering ballads of late made and exhibited to the king they are not like to get in againe this yeare nor yet the next onely they hold in heere and there with the good Capuchines which they may easily doe for that as one of those good Friers on a time confessed they couet to haue all and these couet nothing Vpon this ground the excellent good bishop of Bamberge in Germany when hee was laboured for their admittance into his reformed diocesse answered thus no I brooke no such Quiddits These words are to be found in the aunswere to the Iesuited gentleman page 16.

Note heere gentle reader that whosoeuer loue charitie christian peace and vnitie they must abhorre detest eschew all Iesuiticall societie For the end as you see which that cursed broade aymeth at is nothing els but to dissolue peace and vnitie and to maintaine sedition and rebellion euerie where Paragraph VI. Of the murders committed by Iesuites IKnow there be diuerse that will thinke this historie straunge and incredible but if it chaunce that master Charles Paget doe but set downe the actions of father Holt especially concerning master Godfrey Foulgeam the verie cause of whose death he was you shall see more straunge matters then this These words are in the reply vnto Parsons libell Fol. 70. pag. 1. in fine Sée the fift chapter the first and second sections and note them well Note heere gentle reader that the Iesuite Holt is flatly charged to haue beene the cause of the death of master Godfrey Foulgeam Note also that the Rector of the Colledge of the Iesuites in Vallidolid with some of his complices dealt most cruelly with one Barkworth a priest then student in the English Colledge there after that the minister of the Colledge had deceitfully enticed him being sick in his bed to go abroad to shake off his feauer They conueyed the said Barkworth into the Colledge of the Iesuites and there commaunded him to put of his scholers robes and to put on a sute of ragges which they offered him And because he refused so to doe the Rector called in certaine of his lay brethren strong fellowes to deale with him by violence Wherof two comming to him catched him by the legs and pulling them from vnder him vpon a sodaine threw him backward flat vpon the pauement with such violence being then sicke and weake with a feauer that he was much brused therewith The rest of the lay brethren apprehended some a legge some an arme haling and beating him most outragiously and would as it seemed haue murdered him in his bed if a casuall good hap had not hindred them The storie is long and therefore I referre the reader to the place They procured Henry the third to be excommunicated and then by degrées they murdered him These words are set downe quodl 8. art 8. pag. 261. Perhaps they will pretend that this fruitlesse encrease of of their number is an argument of Gods blessing vpon their societie but this were both a daungerous and an absurd consequence For it will be a long time ere they come to equall the number of the Arsacides who were sent into France by their king a Pagan to murther S.

Loe heere gentle Reader it is an essentiall point of Iesuiticall function to cause sedition and to murder princes From such religious men good Lord deliuer vs. The first breaking out of our troubles was in the yeare 1585. at which time all that resorted to the Iesuites to be confessed if they affirmed themselues to be good subiects and loyal seruitors to the king for they were questioned vpon that article they were sent backe by the Iesuites without receiuing

Iesuites are put to death for their conscience and not for treason For séeing they graunt those penall lawes by which they are conninced of treason to be iustly made against them they doe consequently grant that they are executed for treason Yet it may also be said that they die for their conscience because their conscience is to take part with the Pope and to make warre against their soueraigne We learne Secondly by this aduiso that the Iesuites are so seditious and trayt●rous companions that the secular priests are bound in conscience to detect and reueale there bad disloyall dealing To which I must needes adde as a plesant adiunct that these good fellowes the seculars are in the same predicament with the Iesuites and guiltie of the selfe same treasons as is alreadie proued Aduiso VIII Of the great strong and mightie frends of the Iesuites and seculars THe Iesuits thinke it is vnknown vnder whose wings the arch-priest liues shrowded or to and from whome the letter was sent on father Gerards behalfe to wish her after some few complements and thankes for the token shee lent him to keepe her Iewell the said Gerard well c.

Againe in an other place it it plainly written that the Earle of Essex was solicited to be the Kinge of Spaines close pensioner for furdering of the inuasions quodl 7. art 2. pag. 189 A Iesuite priest was sent from Parsons to the said Earle of Essex to moue him to take a pension of the King of Spaine priuatly for the aduancement of his designements quodl 5. art 8. pag. 150.

This is a worthy and a very golden aduiso For by it hee that hath but one eye may sée what a daungerous kind of people the Iesuites and the seculars bee For to say nothing of their practises with the late Earle of Essex nor of that tender and deare familiaritie which they haue with many of the nobilitie this is a thing that maketh me sigh and grone when I remember it viz. That some nobles and others in high esteeme and authoritie vnder her maiestie are secretly entered into league with the Iesuites on the behalfe of the King of Spaine for the longe intended conquest of this land This this is it which can not but grieue and wound euen to the heart all true hearted English that shall heare the same Not the seminaries doubtles of themselues but the holy Ghost enforcing them thereunto haue reuealed this notable stratageme Yea the seculars doe acknowledge thus much themselues where they write in this maner God hath most straungly and in very indeed as it may bee termed miraculously reuealed the truth which longe hath béene hidden quodl 8. art 9. pag 267. Thus we sée the Priests haue discouered long hidden traytors and detected many notorious treasons yet not intending good thereby to Quéene Elizabeth but to their owne persons in their combat with the Iesuites I trust her maiesties wise and faithfull counsellers will haue due cōsideration of this aduiso pauca sufficiunt sapienti Aduiso IX Of the Iesuiticall exercise and their profitable effects thereof First Iohn Gerard the Iesuite caused Henrie Drurie to enter into this Iesuiticall exercise and thereby got him to sell the mannor of Lozell in Suffolke other lands to the value of 3500. pounds got all the money himselfe the said Drurie hauen chosen to be a lay-brother Afterwards he sent him to Antwerpe to haue his Nouitiat by the prouinciall there by name Oliuerius Manerius for at that time father Garnet had not authority to admit any where after twelue or fourthteene daies he died not without suspition of some indirect dealing Secoudly the said Gerrard gaue the same exercise to Maister Anthonie Rowse of whome he got aboue 1000. pounds Thirdly the saide Gerrard gaue the exercise to Edwarde Walpoole whome hee caused to sell the manner of Tuddenham and had of him about 1000. Markes Fourthly he gaue the exercise to Maister Iames Linacre his fellow prisoner in the Clinke from whome hee drewe there 400. pounds and afterwards got a promise of him of all his lands but was preuented thereof by the said Linacres death Fiftly vnder pretence of the said exercise he confined syr Edmond Huddlestones sonne and heire by sundry sleights of aboue .1000 pounds Sixtly he hath drawen Maister William Wiseman into the said exercise so oft as he hath left him now very bare to liue So he dealt also with Maister Thomas Wiseman whose land he gotte and thē sent him to Antwerpe where he died Seuenthly he wrought so with Maister Nicholas King lately of Grayes Inne as he hath gotten most of his liuing and sent him to Rome Maister Roger Lee of Buckinghamshire hath beene in this exercise likewise and is also by him sent to Rome Eightly in like manner he dealeth with such gentlewomen as he thinketh fit for his turne and draweth them to his exercise as the Ladie Louell mistresse Haywood and mistresse Wiseman now prisoner of whom he get so much as now shée féeleth the want of it Ninthly he drue Mistresse Fortescue the widowe of Maister Edmond Fortescue into his exercise and so got a farme worth 50. poundes a yéere and paide her no rent Tenthly by this his exercise of consinage he perswadeth such gentlewomen as haue large portions to their mariage to giue the same to him and his companie and to become Nunnes So he preuayled
