yet when the Pope shall call me back from hence he can be in no danger both because in this contract God cannot bee presumed to have thought of me since I never thought of him and so the contract therein voyd and because the condition is not broken if I be not removed into Heaven but transferred from an earthly Hell to a Lunatique Hell More then this he could not be heard to speak For that noyse of which I spoke before increased exceedingly and when Lucifer asked the cause it was told him That there was a soule newly arrived in Hell which said that the Pope was at last intreated to make Ignatius a Saint and that he hastened his Canonization as thinking it an unjust thing that when all Artificers and prophane Butchers had particular Saints to invocate onely these spirituall Butchers and King-killers should have none For when the Jesuit Cotton in those questions which by vertue of his invisible priviledge he had provided for a possest person amongst others dangerous both to England and France had inserted this question What shall I doe for Ignatius his canonizing and found at last that Philip King of Spain and Henry King of France contended by their Ambassadors at Rome which of them should have the honour of obtaining his canonizing for both pretending to be King of Navarre both pretended that this right and honour belonged to him and so both deluded the Jesuits For D Alcala a Franciscan and Penafort a Iacobite were by Philips means canonized and the Jesuite left out At last he despaired of having any assistance from these Princes nor did he think it convenient that a Jesuit should be so much beholding to a King since Baronius was already come to that height and constancy that being accused of som wrongs done to his King he did not vouchsafe to write in his own excuse to the King till the Conclave which was then held was fully ended lest as himselfe gives the reason if he had then been chosen Pope it should be thought he had been beholden to the King therein For these reasons therfore they labour the Pope themselves They confess that if they might chuse they had rather he should restore them into all which they had lost in France and Venice then that Ignatius should be sent up into Heaven and that the Pope was rather bound to doe so by the Order which God himselfe seems to have observed in the Creation where he first furnished the Earth and then the Heavens and confirmed himselfe to be the Israeiltes God by this Argument that he had given them the Land of Canaan and other temporall blessings But since this exceeded the Popes omnipotence in earth it was fit he should try what he could doe in Heaven Now the Pope would fain have satisfied them with the Title of Beatus which formerly upon the intreaty of the Princes of that Family he had afforded to Aloisius Gonzaga of that Order He would also have given this Title of Saint rather to Xaverius who had the reputation of having done Miracles Indeed he would have done any thing so he might have slipped over Ignatius But at last he is overcome and so against the will of Heaven and of the Pope Lucifer himselfe being not very forward in it Ignatius must be thrust in amongst the Saints All this Discourse I being grown cunninger then that Doctor Gabriel Nele of whom Bartolus speaketh that by the onely motion of his lips without any utterance understood all men perceived and read in every mans countenance there These things as soon as Lucifer apprehended them gave an end to the contention For now he thought he might no longer doubt nor dispute of Ignatius his admission who besides his former pretences had now gotten a new right and Title to the place by his Canonization and he feared that the Pope would take all delay ill at his hands because Canonization is now grown a kind of Declaration by which all men may take knowledge that such a one to whom the Church of Rome is much beholden is now made partaker of the principall dignities and places in Hell For these men ever make as though they would follow Augustine in all things and therfore they provide that that also shall be true which he said in this point That the Reliques of many are honoured upon earth whose souls are tormented in Hell Therefore he took Ignatius by the hand and led him to the Gate In the mean time I which doubted of the truth of this Report of his Canonizing went a little out for further instruction for I thought it scarce credible that Paulus Quintus who had but lately burdened both the Citie of Rome and the Church with so great expences when he canonized Francisca Romana would so easily proceed to canonize Ignatius now when neither any Prince offered to bear the charge nor so much as sollicited it for so he must be focred to wast both the Treasures of the Church at once And from Leo 3. who 800 years after Christ is the first Pope which canonized any I had not observed that this had ever been done Neither doe I think that Paulus Quintus was drawn to the canonizing of this woman by any other respect then because that Rule which she appointed to her Order was dictated and written by S. Paul For though Peter and Magdalen and others were present at the writing thereof as witnesses yet Paul was the Author thereof And since St Pauls old Epistles trouble and disadvantage this Church they were glad to apprehend any thing of his new writing which might be for them that so this new work of his might bear witness of his second conversion to Papistry since by his first conversion to Christianity they got nothing for to say that in this business Paulus Quintus could not chuse but be God God himselfe to say that he must needs have lived familiarly with the Godhead and must have heard Predestination it self whispering to him and must have had a place to sit in Councell with the most Divine Trinity all which Valaderius sayes of him is not necessary in this matter wherein the Popes for the most part proceed as humane affections lead them But at last after some enquiry I found that a certain idle Gazettior which used to scrape up newes and rumors at Rome and so to make up sale letters vainer falser then the Iesuits letter of Iapan and the Indies had brought this newes to Hell and a little Iesuiticall Novice a credulous soul received it by his implicit faith and published it I laughed at Lucifers easinesse to beleeve and I saw no reason ever after to accuse him of infidelity Upon this I came back again to spy if the gates were still open with what affection Ignatius and they who were in ancient possession of that place behaved themselves towards one another And I found him yet in the porch and there beginning a
