intendment but that they ought not to reueale it It was found also that they had communication hereon by letters with Bauldwin the English Iesuite who then liued at Bruxels this Iesuite was taken since as hee passed through the Pals●raues Country and we doubt not but that if he were but a little stretcht by the fingers a man might learne strange misteries of him yea that he had some intelligence to with Francis Rauillac who had been in Flanders somewhat before his cursed enterprise And if you passe into Polonie you shall finde that the Iesuites doe absolutely possesse the King and hauing as it were the Tutorship of him haue carried him vnto such violent courses that the Country by their meanes is risen vp against him and he in great hazard of his kingdome Their factio●s humour is the cause that Sueden is lost from the Crowne of Poland and from the Catholique Church For they haue moued the King of Poland to make warre vpon Duke Charles who now stiles himselfe King so by force to compell him to receiue the Iesuites Neither is Transyluania free Wee haue seene the Letters of the Baron of Zerotin dated the 2. of May last wherein hee declareth how a Lord of the Country hauing a Iesuite with him in his house was by the same Iesuite drawne to conspire the death of the Prince of Tran●yluania who being aduertised of the day appointed for the enterprise went forth of the Towne that day giuing out that he went to hunt and laid an ambush without the Towne wherein hee surprised the enterprisers who followed after him to execute their intendment vpon him He put them all to death and the said Iesuite was executed with the generall slaughter of his complices The house of Austria alone hath this priuiledge as to be free from the conspiracies of this Societie Of this family the Princes liues are sacred and inuiolable vnto the Iesuits for the founder of their Order and the General of their Societie being a Spaniard to whom they haue vowed a blinde obedience vnder oath it is not to be feared in this respect that euer they should be moued to enterprise ought against the Kings of Spaine or against such as are of his house And therefore it is not without cause that the Common-wealth of Venice whose wisedome of gouernment is to be admired hath driuen them out of Venice and out of all their dominions They well perceiue that these men are creatures of bloud and fire-brands of warre whom they can better endure without then within their Country For their last troubles had their beginning from the Iesuites for whereas the Senate had discouered that the Iesuites by cunning fetches had gotten great store of Legacies by Will and made themselues Lords of much land to the preiudice of the Common-wealth It was concluded by aduise in Councell to prohibite all Clergie men thence forward to receiue any goods immoueable by testament without leaue of the common-wealth whereunto when other of the Church submitted the Iesuites who opposed it and wrought against it at Rome were for euer banished the State And for these considerations it is that the Citie of Orleans would neuer receiue them albeit they haue much desired it and laboured it They sent thither one of their companie to preach their Lent Sermons but the Inhabitants were not very well satisfied for instead of studying he busied his braines in searching out and entertaining such as had yet in their hearts any remainder of the olde leauen of the League by whose entercourse this Iesuite set the report going that the Kings pleasure was they should be established there Heretofore their talke was of driuing out the Monkes of S. Sampson that they might get their Church and of displacing Mounsieur the Marshall of Chastres Gouernour of that Citie to get his house making reckoning to ioyne it together with the houses in the way vnto the fore-said Church And besides all these preparatiues hauing giuen the King to vnderstand that the Citizens of Orleans did exceedingly desire their company they did so importune his Maiestie that hee granted them to haue an house there yet with this charge that the Citizens should be drawne to consent vnto it Now when they were solemnly assembled together about this matter one amongst them Touruille by name a famous Aduocate of the Citie a man of learning and iudgement declared vnto them the inconueniences that might befall the Citie if they did admit them and by strong reasons made it good that in France for a man to loue his King and the Iesuites were things that could not stand together The chiefe Officers of Iustice following this first tune and all the Citizens concurring iointly in the same opinion it was concluded that they should not be receiued This Citie at other times hath drunk of the cup of Rebellion with many others but sithens their reducing vnder obedience vnto the King they haue at all times declared themselues most faithfull euen by their carriage in this last common affliction as they haue declared more griefe then any other so do they make the continuance of their obedience appeare by al maner of good works more then any other CHAP. III. That the Iesuites are guilty of the murther of our deceased King Henry the fourth WHosoeuer shall consider the crime of this wicked wretch Rauillac in euery part and circumstance of it shal easily perceiue that the Iesuites had their fingers in the Pie and that the mischiefe came none otherwise then by their instruction It is some fiue yeares since that at S. Victors there was a Maide possessed with a Diuell whose instrument she was for the tel●ing of diuers things that seemed admirable Father Cotton either moued with curiositie or grounding himselfe vpon the familiaritie he had with his Spirits tooke a iourney thither to question with this Spirit on diuers points which he had a desire to know And to helpe his memory hee wrote in a ticket the points whereon hee was to demand Amongst other points these were some What should be the issue of the conuersion of Mounsieur de la Val and of the enterprises against Geneua and of the continuance of Heresie and of the estate of Madamoyselle Acarie and about the life of the King There were many like vnto these but so it fell out that Father Cotton deliuering vnto Mounsieur Gill●t Counsailour in in the great Chamber a booke which he had promised him there through some ouersight left behinde him his memoriall which falling by this meanes into the handes of the said M r. Gillot he communicated it vnto certaine others and amongst others to my Lord the Duke of Sully and so the matter came abroad Had this fallen out at some other time while some vigour of spirit yet remained in men this had beene sufficient to haue entred an inditement against the Iesuite it being a matter capitall for a man to enquire about the tearme of his Princes life and

TO THE QVEENE REGENT May it please your Maiestie IN as much as it is the common opinion as well of your owne Subiects at home as of Strangers abroad that the Iesuites were the workers of that damnable Parricide which striking to the heart of our deceased King whom God absolue hath stricken to the very throate of Fraunce it selfe and thereupon the Iesuites complaine that they are wrongfully dealt withall and that these reports are spread by their enemies thereby to make them odious to the world I thought it necessarie to make appeare to your Maiestie the originall causes of this aspersion cast vpon them to the end that if it be found to spring from sure and vndoubted grounds your Maiestie may from thence coniecture whether it may stand with the safeguard of the present King your Sonnes life to suffer these holy Fathers to approach neere his person as also whether it may be done without holding your Subiects in continuall alarmes and de●iances one of another For if it were forbidden by Moses Law as Father Cotton hath obserued in his Epistle Dedicatorie to seeth the Kid in the milke of the Damme much more vnlawfull must it needs be to deliuer the Sonne into hands already imbrewed in the bloud of the Father I desire not to be beleeued without euident proofes and professe withall that I am no way transported with passion against their persons nor would at all bee drawne to speake or write against them if after the maner of other Monkes and Fryers they would be content to bound themselues within the lists of instructing the people and managing the affaires of the Church but that which I now speake is not the suggestion of Heretiques but the testimonie of your highest Courts of Iustice the consent of the greatest part of your Clergie and among them euen of the sacred facultie of Diuinitie and in a word the common vniuersall out-crie of all your people all which notwithstanding would willingly haue learned the Arte of forgetfulnesse with Father Aubigny and beene content to mourne without speaking a word were it not that wee see the murthering of Princes become a custome and that if your Maiestie put not to your hand to stop it betimes Treason will shortly stand in the rancke of Christian vertues and be helde the fairest and shortest way to heauen If then your Maiestie please for a while to lay aside your important affaires of State and to peruse this ensuing discourse you shall finde I doubt not in this case the voyce of the people the voyce of God whom I beseech to make the Flower de Lice to flowrish vpon your Sonnes head and to poure downe vpon your Maiestie all possible happinesse Your Maiesties most humble and obedient Subiect P.

C AN ADVERTISEMENT TO THE READER READER meruaile not that the Author of the Worke puts not to his name it may iustly be imputed to the iniquitie of the times in which it is hard to vtter the truth and not thereby to procure enemies notwithstanding if there be any that will vndertake the answering of it from point to point which I hold impossible such is the cleere euidence of truth the Author promiseth to reioyne vpon the same subiect and withall to discouer his name for hee hath both courage and countenance enough to maintaine himselfe and his cause against the malice of his aduersaries and the troublers of the publike peace A REFVTATION of Father Cottons declaratorie Letter to the Queene Regent That the doctrine of the Iesuites approues and maintaines the Parricide of Kings and the Rebellion of Subiects CHAP. I. THat we may take all rubs out of the way and fully cleere the doubt in question it will not proue vnnecessarie to search out and discouer the dependances of the matter in hand till wee arise to the head-spring it selfe Wee finde it registred in the French History that in the yeare 1407. Lewes Duke of Orleans brother to King Charles the sixt of that name the 22. of Nouember in the twilight was slaine by Assassinates hired to that purpose by Iohn Duke of Burgundie who then contested his right to the Regencie against the said Duke of Orleans but the Duke of Burgundie being no way able to inuent any colourable varnish for the shifting off the fact grew bolde to maintaine in the presence of the Princes of the bloud and Officers of the Crowne that what was acted by his command was honourable and iust and thereupon set a worke Iohn Petit Doctor of Diuinitie by birth a Norman who publikely defended that both by the Law of God and man as well Canon as Ciuill it was lawfull for any man to make away a tyrant and that by any meanes whereupon the matter was so carried partly through feare of violence and partly by strength of perswasion that the course of Iustice for that time was stopt and nothing done At that time there liued in Paris Iohn Gerson Chancellour of the Vniuersitie a man of no meane learning as that age afforded who strongly opposed himselfe to the fore-mentioned proposition of Iohn Petit insomuch that not long after a generall Councell being held at Constance Gerson was imployed thither as Ambassadour from Charles the sixt hauing in his instructions expresse charge to propose that conclusion to the Fathers of the Councell by them to be further discussed and censured where both parties being indifferently heard what could be obiected on either side the Councell in their fifteenth Session condemned the opinion of Iohn Petit as hereticall the Canon begins thus Quilibet Tyrannus c. plainely defining that it no way rightfully fals within the compasse of the Subiects reach to set vpon the person of his Soueraigne vnder pretence of curbing a Tyrant This erroneous Doctrine hauing beene now a long time quenched as it were and buried by the authoritie of this Councell is now againe enlightened and set a foote by the Iesuites but vnder the cloake and colour of Religion that is to say when it shall be iudged necessarie to make away a King for the good of the Church to this purpose they haue published diuers discourses in which they permit and incite the Subiect to kill his Soueraigne when his
