forc'd by their necessities to embrace any course to get a little money undertake to suckle and nurse up these little ones at such a pittifull rate that it is impossible but that both nurses and children must starve Hence comes it that within a little time after out of pure want of nourishment the foreheads of these little wretches are full of dirt and earthinesse their eyes sink into their heads where there should be cheeks there are onely pits to be seen their bones start out through the skin so that at last the fatall morning comes that the nurses brings them home stone dead and dry as skeletons Ah Merciful rede●mer of mankind who sometimes out of the bowels of thy infinite lov● and indulgence saidst to thy Apostles Mat. 19. 14. Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for unto such belongeth the Kingdome of Heaven Shall it be lawful for a sort of Bar●arous and profane wretches that call th●●s●lves Rel●gious men to make havock of the Estates and lives of so many little one● b●●ti●ed into thy Faith and to starve them in a Christian City in a time of abundance and plenty and this in a wealthy hospitall purposely built by the charity of some good men for their entertainment And all this while their Murtherers live upon their cost and grow fat upon their revenues Another way they have to dispatch them which is no lesse convenient then the former in order to their design is to put them out to debauched women such as endure a certain martyrdome for their lust and lubricity in the diseases consequent thereto and such as in whom the French Pox is a familiar and pardonable infirmity by which means these little babes come to suck poyson in stead of milk To which may be added another trick of these cattell viz that having left them crying on the ground or in their nests for a long time together without ever taking them up it is so long ere they get them suckled by some wholesome and charitable woman that it is easie for a man to conjecture nay indeed to be confident that they rather wish them dead then alive The other more mysterious and more horrid wayes will be discovered to the Judges when they shall be pleas'd to call them to account for so many children What I have further to say as to this point is that not content to make havock of the reveneues of these little expos'd infants and to put them to miserable deaths they have found out a way to ga●n money in that troublesome employment and n ake an advantage of that which they ought to do out of duty All the world knowes that they have remov'd all causes relating to this Hospitall to be try'd at Grenoble which they have done for two considerable reasons The first is because they might not be within the jurisdiction of the Parlement of Bourdeaux which being near might judge of things more justly and with more expedition The second that they might the more ab●ndantly milk their purses who were either suspected or convict●d of having expos'd their children For the fear of making a long and troublesome journey and that withall very chargeable obliges ●hose that are either guilty or accus'd to purchase their quiet with money I have heard the Lay-Brother James Philoleau through whose hands all these things passe affirm that he had received more money in one year since the causes were remov'd to Grenoble then he had done in twenty before But especially if some Scholler or Merchant falls into their clutches who either would not or durst not undertake that journey to make his own defence they treat him so unmercifully that they squeese out of him as much for one child as they will make to serve for half a dozen There 's no necessity I should intreat the Judges to take this discovery which I have made for the publick good into their consideration the blood of these innocents cryes more loudly in the ears of Justice then that of Abel and there is no reason in the world that these unfortunate little ones whom the Fathers and mothers expose to the mercy of others should be murther'd by the Jesuits and be so miserable withall as not to find Magistrates to revenge their death and ashes CHAP. V. An information put in against the Jesuits of the Incontinency they are guilty of in their Classes IT is only for the bright eye of Heaven to shed its rayes upon ditches and dung-hills without any danger of derogating any thing from its purity or losing ought of the lustre of its light It will therefore be hard for me either to fasten my own or direct the reflections of my Reader on the impurities which I can prove the Jesuits guilty of without running some hazard of corrupting our imagination by impure thoughts But the God of purity who expects that in order to the publick good such enormous villanies should be discovered will preserve us by his grace so as that we may go through these pitchy reflections of vice and filthiness without being de●iled thereby Ignatius Loyola hath to spe●k properly left behind him but one Rule for chastity but because he hath recommended it to his Monks that they should not propose to themselves the purity of the greatest Saints nor yet that of the bless●d Virgin M●ry but Angelical purity by keeping their bodies in all cleanness he hath put them into a despair of ever attaining it And thence it comes that not being able to make it appear that they are Angels for they are but too too carnal they have discovered especially of late themselves to be men and those not the least inclined to sensuality and fleshliness The ordinary sort of people who see them converse with so much familiarity with the zealots of the femal sex that come to them and spend three or foure houres with them in frivolo s talking cheek by joll think them as free from these uncleannesses as the highest spheare of celestial bodies is from the impressions of the Ear●h But these prating gossips who under the cloak of devotion and these ordinary familiarities carry on a lustful love know very well how much they are given to the flesh that is with as little remorse as the crows after the deluge were to the carrions You would from their ●ersonations in the business of devotion infer that ●y a certain elevation of spirit they were soaring up in●o the sanctuary of the Divinity as e●gles do into the ●osome of the sunne but I can on the contrary assure ●ou that the greatest part of these lewd wretches are like those filthy vultures which by the height of their flight make as if they were sentinels for the safety of heaven and went a round for the preservation of the earth when in the mean time they have their eyes fastened here below to seize upon the first carrion or serpent they shall see rotting on a dunghil The Jesuits ever did

well that after they had gone two leagues upon the river of Garronne they all landed with a design to lie one night by the way I am asham'd to discover these i●pious practises of a Body wherein I had lived so long but the obligation that lyes upon me to promote the glory of God justifies my revelation of these impurities This old bawd who had while they were in the boat by her impudent discourses craftily endeavoured to raise lascivious thoughts in the maide was resolv'd to bring her lewd sollicitations to some effect when they were gotten close into a chamber in the Inne For having by thousands of sle ghts and wanton insinuations somewhat enflam'd them both she took occasion to leave them together under pretence of taking some order for Supper But as the Jesuits ill fortune would have it he met with a Susanna that maintained her chastity very resolutely for having through feare suff●red thousands of kisses and caresses she at last bethought her of God and the dishonour she was ready to fall into and so frustrated the Stallion of his expectation in such manner that he was forced to ●atiate his lust by an evacuation with the Bawd Upon her therefore he satisfied his brutish passion even in the presence of the Maid with such expressions of Lust on both sides as might have forced impudence it self into a blush The heat being over he comes a little to his wits and would needs lay a strict charge upon the maid to keep all secret whatever she had seen Shee did so for the space of fifteen dayes but at la●t being much troubled in conscience that she had given way to some lasciviousnesse she went and discovered the whole businesse to the Superiour of the professed House And this was the first pranke he played in that journey But one depth calleth upon another Those that once suffer themselves to be enslaved and trampled on by that tyrannicall passion never leave sinning Let us see what becomes of our Confessor after this excellent and devout pilgrimage we find him travelling towards the City of Pau. Being come there to the House of Madame de Mommas or Mombas a family of as great blood and Nobility as any in Beard with John Francis Marin who had overtaken him at Macaire the wayting gentlewoman of that Lady raised such flames of Lust in him that he watched his opportunity to get any one of them aside as a cutpurse would do the criticall minute to give a man a cast of his office He that hath a mind to do a mischief layes hold on all occasions conducing thereto The first exploit of impurity which this shamelesse man did was just upon his coming from Masse to run up his hand under the smock of one of the M●ids that was going up staires before him saying to her Take heed fairest you lift up pour legge too high The second was more dangerous considering the discreet mannagement of the businesse For having understood by some questions he had made to another that she was to goe away from her Mistresse Come said he to her b●ing me pen ink and paper I will recommend yo● to the service of a President 's Lady in Bourdeaux that shall be a thousand times more to your advantage then that which you now are in The poore innocent wench who thought her happinesse indisputable brought him what he called for and was cajoll'd by him into another Roome where th● cunny catching companion writ a Letter so full of recommendation that the wench was over head and eares in joy at it Whereupon taking his advantages upon the reading of it Does not this said he to her argue an extraordinary affection in me towards thee upon the first sight What canst thou refuse to do for so cordiall a friend who would give thee a Letter not written with inke but with his own blood to put thee into a good condition His action during all this fine discourse was to kisse her forehead her eyes her mouth and to embrace her in his armes with so much fire and violence of passion till that at last the wench sensible of the danger she was in getting from him as a serpent that were grasped too hard I do not intend Father said she to him to purchase recommendations with the hazzard of my salvation The noise which these strange sallies of incontinency made in the house was at first the diversion onely of the Servants but afterwards coming to the Lady her selfe she very angrily expostulated the businesse with his companion Francis Marin asking him What Harlot-hunter is this that you have brought to my house who hath already attempted two of my Mayds If any man's judgement be so overgrown with blind zeale as to imagine this story to be no other then a calumny be it so but this I am sure of that Madame de Momb●s or Mommas and her servants shall acknowledge that the Jesuits never could salve with any credit this act of brutality Those who are returned to their Colledges after the absence of some time in travell or otherwise passe for three dayes after their arrivall for Pilgrims The ensuing story shall be the consummation of that notorious journey of Petiot Of all acts of unchastity those in common apprehensions are thought the most execrable which do violence to the chastity of children Heaven certainly would not have thunderbolts but to crush the committers of such impurities nor the earth abysses but to swallow them up Our Sardanapalus went the next day after his coming home to divert himself into a place not far from the house called Lewis's wood and to make his diversion criminal in all the wayes imaginable he inveigled to him by litle Agnus dei's the Overseer's daughter a girle of about nine or ten yeares of age under pretence of making her say her prayers and so brought her into the thickest part of the wood Here my heart beats and my hand trembles with the horrour which I cannot but conceive at the very remembrance of the crime This ineffably wicked man put himself into a posture of forcing the little child and with his defiled fingers dilatabat illi foemineum vas when her Father hearing her crying and complaining came seasonably to her rescue and delivered her out of the clawes of that uncleane bird The di●order wherein he ●ound that infamous Jesuit and the posture of his daughter whom he found layd all along rais'd such an indignation in that afflicted Father that in the heat of his passion he ran immediately to the Colledge and accus'd him What answer will these celestiall Eunuchs who would perswade the world that they imitate the purity of Angels make to these things Disclaime the story Truth will dazzle their eyes Will they acknowledge it T is somewhat indigestible The stars will th●se sincere men say fall out of heaven T is true but then they never get up again into their spheares and yet this great one that is now fallen after

as a Rascall nor very innocent since he was contin●ally bayted by such ignominious penances If in th● history of his life a man could forbear mentioning the Provincial at Malescot it would ease him at the heart very much But it may be objected by some body that he hath still continued in the Society True he hath but purely out of vanity as being unwilling it should be said he were cast out of it for his crimes And yet he hath not since discovered any more circumspection insomuch that the Superiours are forc'd to keep him like a mangie sheep at a distance from all the rest and call him not from his lurking hole at Ruffec o● of any other designe then to vent his Satyricall h●mour against ou● Religion in the present conjunctur● of Afsaires I intend to give the world a more part●cular character of this man in Latine but in the mea● time I conceive thus much enough to discover the qualifications of this Preacher who for some dayes past hath made such a hue and cry after the Sacrilegious person It may haply be further urged by some who see not very much at a distance that while I give an account of the proceedings of the Jesuits in order to the cutting off of this putrifi'd member I justifie the body I desire him that is troubled with any such imagination to consider that the Common wealth of Sa●an hath its policy and that this maxime of circumspect Stallions Si non castè saltem cautè that is to say if not chastly at least cr●f●ily and cautiously is one of the bases of the Politicks of these Monkes And accordingly he may take it further into his thoughts that since James Beaufès though found guilty of many late ●nd ancient impurities doth neverthelesse continue in the Society it is not true that their Order like the Sea disburthens it self of what ever stinks and is corrupted as they preach and pretend This discovery which I thought my self obliged to make premi●ed I proceed to my vindication and pursue my ac●user as close as I can CHAP. IV. Giving an account of the proceedings of the Jesuits against me HE th●t does but simply cast his eyes on what Beaufes hath set forth cannot but make an immediate discovery of the malice of my adversaries and the palpable blindnesse into which the insatiable desire of revenge hath precipitated them The Jesuits astonished at the change I had made in matter of Religion and surprised at the course I had taken to get out from among them presently took a resolution not ●o call me back again in a Christian way and according ●o the obligations of the new Adam but out of a Jesuiticall kind of charity to conspire my destruction Whether the Gospel which they pretend t● preach justifies these violent attempts and bloody prosecutions I appeale to the words of it and the example of Jesus of whose Society they affirme themselves to be Though I am now at the distance of three hundred Leagues from my dear Countrey ye● am I not ignorant that my Country men of both the one and the other Religion are sufficiently satisfied that these implacable enemies of mine had no sconer heard of the first news of my conversion by the Letters which I had left with a certain friend but they breathed nothing but blood and death and spoke of nothing lesse then fire and faggots I cannot but here entreat the Reader to make a more particular reflection on this kind of proceedings as such as should make no small impression on the spirit of any honest man Whe● any one of the other Orders though with more noise and s●i●re renounces the Romane Religion to come over to us his Superiours much more kind and more morally vertuous then those that sometimes were mine imagining according to their erroneous maximes that their dear child is lost fly to the Altars implore the assistances of Heaven by their prayers runne up and downe like good shepheards to finde out thei● sheep and if need be bring it home upon thei● shoulders Now let it be considered whether the Superiours of the Jesuits have taken any such course and let their cruelty be measured by the mildnes● and courtesie of the others The first act of cou●sell which prest among those mischievous Priests a● Pharisees against me was not that they should of●● up the least addresse to God for my return and ●●pentance but Rousseau the Provinciall the chief ●mong these wicked men pronounced as anoth● Caiphas that it was expedient one man should ● for the people According to which sentence like so many impl●cable Jewes not taking any care for the meanes whereby I might be raised out of the abysie into which they thought me fallen they made it their main businesse to find out inventions to dispatch me out of the world Taking it theresore as granted that the designe of so great a change cannot be begun and perfected in a day and that I must needs have dissembled my intention for some time since that I was forced to live after their way who what horrid crime soever they may have committed or what great mischief soever they may be hatching cannot without some imputation of scandall be exempted from saying Masse every day they presently imagined more out of malice then prudence that it was the most advantageous breach they could have to set upon me with all their interest Their first businesse accordingly was to make the●r advantages of the publication of the severall acts which the Overseers of our Religion had out of their zeale thought fit to publish and to compare that writing of mine wherein I had intreated those of my party to afford me their assistance to the end that I might make publick profession of my beliefe according to the liberty which the Kings Edicts gave me so to do with the d●te of the Letters which I had written to the Rector and Provinciall Having thereby found that I had dissembled my intention for some dayes that is to say done in relation to the Ecclesiasticall functions that out of prudence and discretion which they with cauterized consciences alwayes do when they undermine Bishops and betray States for no consideration of that or any other nature can dispense with them for saying Masse they immediately raise a hue and cry after the Sacrilegious person the Prophaner of holy things put in a charge against me and to compasse my death would have a pretended Sacriledge of a secret become a publick one and that a writing given privately to a particular person should passe for a publick and solemne profession The charge lyes now before the Judges whatever the issue may be it will turn to my glory If by their powerfulnesse and bloody prosecutions I am condemn'd I shall be a Confessor of Jesus Christ which is the greatest glory that a good Christian can aime at if by the diligent discussion of the businesse I am cleared the world will be accordingly
