CHAP. I. The Jesuits Treasonable Practices in England IT is well known that from the beginning of the happy Reign of our Religious and Virtuous Queen Elizabeth even unto this day the Jesuits have had and still have as great a Rancour and Malice against this Kingdom of England and its Rulers as ever yea much greater than against any Nation whatever as by the following Relation will appear they having under the Notion of Quakers and other dangerous Sects cloaked their Hypocrisie with seeming Simplicity Honesty and Holiness to delude the Ignorant sort of people as by plain demonstration you shall hereafter understand The Earls of Northumberland and Westmerland who were both Arraigned and Condemned for High Treason in Queen Elizabeth's dayes in the Year 1569 are yet a Monument of the Jesuits Malice against England who together with the Pope induced them to Rebellion against their lawful Princess So likewise is the Duke of Norfolk who for his Treasonable Practices against Queen Elizabeth being moved to it by some Emissary Jesuits for it lost his life 1572. And Edmond Campian Rodulph Shervin and Alex. Brian who had engaged to a Company of Jesuits in England to dispossess the Queen of the Kingdom and to plot her Ruin and to stir up both Nobles and Commons against her but being apprehended suffered Death for this their High Treason in the Year 1581. Henry Sam a Jesuit was one of the Incendiaries who corrupted the Duke and for this his Treason suffered the reward of a Traytor in the Year 1582. The Conspiracy of William Parre against the Queen in the Year 1584 stirred up unto it by the persuasion and inducement of these Jesuits Benedictus Palmey Hannibal Cawdrey and William Crithon with others may confirm this our Warning-Piece Ballard a Jesuit and Babington who by Ballard's Divellish Counsels was to kill the Queen and being both discovered and apprehended received condign punishment for their Crime in the Year 1571 are sufficient evidences of the Jesuits Practices and Designs against England The coming of Henry Garnet out of Italy into England 1586 with a Plenipotentiary power from the Pope of ordering acting ordaining and disposing of things in England to whom were added for the carrying on of the Pope's Interest Oswald Tismond called Greenoway and John Garrett who had great Correspondence with Parson the Superiour of the Colledge of the English Jesuits at Rome with Peter Creswell in Spain and with Peter Baldwin in Flanders And the first Invasion of England by the Spaniard which was set on foot and brought to that progress by the croaking persuasion of these Froggs in the year 1588 are evident demonstrations of their never-dying-malice against this Nation The Execution of Williams and York in 1594 who had plotted to murther the Queen by the instigation of Jesuit Holt and others of the same Society and that of Mr. Edward Squirre for intending to poison Queen Eliz. and the Earl of Essex by the Hellish persuasions and advices of the Jesuit Richard Wallpott 1598 are sufficient evidences of the Jesuitical Machinations One Robert Elcot an English man in Spain 1597 was induced by the Jesuits to feign himself an English Earl and that he was sent to the King of Spain by the Nobility of England who promised him ready help to invade England and so being led to the King by an English Jesuit he performed the deed acting so cunningly and deceitfully his part that the King of Spain received his Proposals Francis Page an English Jesuit who being convicted of Treason in 1602 was put to death in London and Garnet one of the Confederates in the Gun-powder-Treason who was executed for his Crime 1606 And that Catalogue of Jesuits and Incendiaries that have been put to death at the beginning of the Long Parliament are sufficient evidences of the continual workings and subtil practices of that Generation CHAP. II. Treasonable Crimes perpetrated by the Jesuits in France IT is one of the Highest degrees of Ingratitude to hate him whom by Nature we are obliged to Love and to rejoyce at his loss whilest we live under his Protection and by his favourable deeds Lewis the 13th K. of France during his Reign notwithstanding the Murthering his Father K. Henry the 4th did continually heap benefits upon the Jesuits and daily obliged them The money he gave them to buy and build that famous Edifice in Paris which both in bigness beauty and riches far exceeds the Palace Royal in Paris and the Annual revenues of 1000 l. sterl that he hath assigned them out of the Crown-land in a poor and peeled Countrey do amount to above a Million of Money that that Monarch hath largly bestowed upon them in several parts of France but all these his Princely guifts to them which might tame Tygars and change the Heart of the most malicious and inveterate Enemy could not in the least root out of their mind that inveterate ill will which they had conceived against the blood and posterity of H. 4th Lewis's Father The Sentence of the Parliament of Paris given against them and John Chastell for their attempt upon the life of this Monarch the Execution of John Guignard of their Society who for this crime was hanged the Pyramid at Paris and their Exile out of that Kingdom are still fresh and alive in their memory with such Rancour and bitterness of Spirit that all the prosperity of that Kingdom is to them a greif and vexation of mind and its adversity is their joy Some of their gross and Criminal Actions shall be toucht to shew their Mortal hatred to these Nations Whil'st the Spaniard had the best in his War against France in the Frontiers of Picardy under the Command of John the Verth and had taken the City of Corbey the College of the Jesuits in Bourdeaux where our Author then was did so exceedingly rejoyce at it that ten of them having secretly conveyed into their Chamber brooms and some Faggots upon the Vault of the Steeple of the Church they made there a Bonfire with
