A41504	The horrid, direful, prodigious and diabolical practice of the Jesuits discovered fully laying open the means, manner and circumstances whereby they inveagle and seduce inhumanely some unwary Protestants to the utter ruine and damnation of their souls : seasonably offered for the good of three nations / by E.G.	E. G.	1679 (1679)	Wing G12; ESTC R25090	4,863	18

are the Presbyterians where I find hope there I establish the Fifth Monarchy where I find fears misgiving and jealousy there I plant Quakerism where I find ardent zeal those I possess with such a fervency and eagerness of spirit as turns them Witnesses But sayes the Gentleman do you make no Papists at all I answered you that before sayes the Jesuit but if the Catholicon exposes a person pityful compassionate and rich there I sow the Seeds of Merit and reap a plentiful Crop to the use of our Church either in their Life time or after by their Wills But methinks said the Gentleman if you can do this it may be more for your advantage to make them all Papists To tell you the truth the English turn'd Protestants under a damn'd Ascendant and their temperaments are so obstinate refractory headstrong willful and naturally so given to treachery that the Commonalty are scarce fit to be trusted but my business is not so much to Convert as to Pervert for we have tryed long enough in order to the first and only had our labour for our pains Now if we can but distract them our aim is attain'd for a House divided cannot stand We have put in their Noddles the tearm of dissenting Brethren Sayes the Gentleman are these all the sorts you named before Some Schismaticks and Hereticks there are besides says the Jesuit and also where we find despair scorn shame envy grief hatred those we possess with an Opinion that there is no God at all After a Bottle or two had past the Jesuit told the Gentleman he seem'd to distrust what he had reveal'd but since he saw that he had a Man out if he gave him leave to call him in he would present him with a Pippin into which he put two Grains of yellowish Powder which he promis'd should do him no harm the Fellow eat the Pippin greedily but within less than an hour he appear'd something Frantick and said he found a numness and stupidity seizing all his senses his Eyes began to dim his Hearing to fail him a Qualm to seize his Stomach which made the Gentleman look a little concern'd on the Jesuit who smil'd and said Upon my Life you need fear no harm I can tell you by its operation what 's the result of it you shall find him in a passionate fit of Love Friend sayes he to the Servant take this Glass of Wine and you shall be well presently but ordered the Gentleman to call the Drawer and bid him put him upon the Bed and cover him in the mean while the Gentleman asked him whether he had invented that Powder he answered no one that was of the Society an Adeptist and great Pyrotechnite invented it in Queen Elizabeths time and here in England founded the Puritanical Order which is since by degrees swarm'd into Presbytery Classical Parochial Provincial Synodical in those dayes Confidence was the general passion that the English were subject to that begot Presumption which begot Predestination which begot all manner of Villany hence issued spiritual Justification the Devil and all Hold said the Gentleman we call them here English Jesuits Call them what you will sayes the other had they Learning to their inclinations we might fear them more than we do It 's true they imitate us and when parts concur they are the fittest Incendiaries and Ministers of much activity witness the late times when they call'd us Murderers and Thieves while they were the Assassinators and Robbers Villany is so truly bred in the Bone that it will never be removed but by Death So mark the end of it the Gentleman being weary of his discourse told him he would go and see how his Man did The Jesuit told him he should find him in a very loving humour and so it fell out the poor Fellow could not speak but was kissing the Pillow his own Hands embracing and hugging the Coverlet clipping himself with all the gestures of a deep Amoretto The Master was concern'd for his Servant but the Jesuit said he would be cured by the next Morning now if he had any Vice he might by inculcating of the opposite Virtue fix him as he comes to himself for whatever impression he received in that Juncture that would only remain with him which he then had stamp'd upon him The Gentleman replyed he saw enough not to suffer his Servant to be any further tampered with he caused one to sit up all Night with him who was next Morning pretty well recovered and said he was easy all the while and thought he could be well satisfied to continue so always he believ'd he was for some time bereft of his Senses nay of the very power of thinking but when he came to have any apprehension nothing could be more easy innocent and pleas'd than he was neither too hot nor too cold hungry nor thirsty a fine tranquillity seised his Soul with such an equanimity that he forgot all past injuries and he had no thought of pains to come he was in peace amity and concord with all the World and that nothing troubled him now but that he could not get out of his head by and by anon anon Sir here here what do you want Gentlemen Do you call here This relation confirm'd the Gentleman that the Jesuit was a Conjurer and became much concern'd that he had not inquir'd his Lodging for though his gratitude oblig'd him not to injure him and that he held Friendship sacred yet the good of his Country he prefer'd before all which made him enquire after his Pippin-Monger for though he consider'd particular obligations were great yet he must not favour a Traytor against the general and weighing these Events suspected the danger of the consequence I thought not the Nation some Years ago so sit to be presented with this as now when there is no sober person but must be convinced the Adage in Latine was not made without cause Si cum Jesuitis non cum Jesu itis I have a natural aversion against these super-intendents our Saviour return'd Good for Evil all sorts of Jesuits return Evil for Good therefore more than the name they have no relation to Jesus It 's true comparatively they may be admitted as Daemonists which pass as well for Good as Evil Spirits this distinguishes all sorts of Jesuits are good only in pretence but Diabolical in Design It 's humbly submitted what abominable horrid odious and detestable actions they have offered upon England and what the three Nations have suffered by the procurement of these Jesuits What Treacherous Massacres Direful Assassinations by Remonstrances Covenants and infamously prodigious Execrations have been accumulated upon the King and Kingdom God preserve the Kings Sacred Person the old Royalists and plant Loyalty in every individual Heart and that all Jesuits their Spawn Products and Effects be quite extirpated then will Christs Church truly flourish and Neighbourly Love be at every Door House Board and Bed FINIS
