Anthony Pinto sometimes a seruant to Creswell who seeing how ill the English Fugitiues were treated discarded the name of an English man and now passeth for a Spaniard and thereby liueth farre better then the rest being one no lesse subtile then his master thus much for the English secular Fugitiues of note at Madrid But now let vs come to the Clearkes and religious men First to the English Iesuites whose Agent and Procurator generall is Father North one for policy very subtile and dangerous This North was created D. D. in Paris and was sometimes Vice-President of the Colledge of Doway and afterwards turned Iesuite Agent and Procurator generall for the English Monks is one Father Boniface a very crafty fox and a Smiths sonne in Redding hee is so ambitious and haughty that he will not acknowledge his parentage but giues out he is some great Gentlemans Son As for the secular Priests they haue one Missenden for their Procurator generall a simple fellow but wonderfully malitious Now touching those of the Scottish Nation which reside in the Court of Spaine there is none of account but Colonell Simple who betrayed a towne in Holland to the Spaniards some 30 yeeres since and receiued 25000 crownes for requitall of his treachery and now liuing in Spaine hath lately begun a foundation of a Scottish Seminary the Prefect or Rector whereof he intendeth to make his base sonne Hugh Simple whom he hath trained vp in the Spanish Iesuites Seminaries one who may proue as treacherous a companion as euer was his father For his Maiesty now of England being in the Court of Spaine hee gaue vp diuerse petitions aduertisements to the King and Counsell of Spaine that they should not conclude any match with England vnlesse there should be erected in each Vniuersity vnder our King his Dominions a Colledge of Iesuites for the trayning vp of youth in the Romane faith and doctrine and to shew himselfe the more zealous printed these said aduertisements with his name subscribed and deliuered them to his friends of the Court. As for the Irish Fugitiues there are more of them then of any other the streete wherein they lodge is by the Spaniards termed the lowsie streete and as for their quality saue these that follow First he that pretends to be Bishop of Aramath and Dublin then the Earle of Beere-hauen with two or three more of the King his Pages all the rest are meere cheaters and vagabonds The said Bishop and Earle are Agents for Tyron and Terconwell who liue in Flanders in the Archdutchesses Court and from them to other Papists in Ireland they daily importune his Catholike Maiesty his Counsell to inuade the said Kingdome with an army not doubting but it shall bee deliuered vp into his hands from which their sollicitation they could not forbeare euen when our King was in Spaine And thus much for the English Scottish and Irish Fugitiues which are at this present resident in the Court of Spaine Now for the Colledges Seminaries of the Iesuites Monks and Fryers and other Seminary Priests I remit the Reader to Lewis Owen his running Register in the publike Library at Oxford of which he may at large see which I will here but name as the Colledge at Vallidolid and that at Siuill and the Residence at Madrid and another at St. Lucas another at Lisbon of which a secular Priest one Numan by name is the head who is now in suite with the Iesuites about the propriety thereof but especially because there is one Don Pedro Cotinio a Portugall Gentleman who was once gouernor of Baia in Brasill who by reason of his great corruption and vnlawfull gifts he receiued there at his returne from Spaine fearing least he should bee examined by his Maiesty how hee came by these great riches he had to bring the world into a good conceite of him professed that he would build a Colledge for the education of 100 English youths which after they had beene trained vp there might returne to their Countrey and conuert many to the Romane obedience of which Colledge hee promised the said Numan to be head and likewise hee made the same promise to the English Iesuites that one of them should bee head if his Holinesse would approue thereof and hereupon engaged them so deepe in the Law that 20 yeares tryall will scarce end their controuersie hee in the meane time derideth both parties hauing no intention at all to performe what hee hath promised But neuerthelesse one Haruy a secular Priest Numans Agent here in England for the getting ouer of youth perswadeth the Catholikes and their Bishop of Chalcedon that without doubt Father Numan will ouerthrow the Iesuites As for any Scottish Colledge or Seminary there is none sauing that which Colonell Simple is beginning in Madrid As for the Irish they haue three one in Salamanca another in Siuill and a third in Lisbon As for English Nunneries there is only one which is at Lisbone whereof you may read more at large in Robinson and thus much for Spaine As for English Fugitiues in Italy there are very few At Millaine there resideth Sir Thomas Stukeley who hath 100 crownes a month pension from the King of Spaine This Stukeley is a grand traytor and enemy to his Countrey and were it not for the Duke of Feria who entertaineth him at his owne table he might long since haue rode backe to Madrid on an Asse as hee came Likewise there is one Webb a retainer to the King of Spaine who liueth wonderfull poorely As for the City of Florence there liueth Sir Robert Dudley who styleth himselfe Duke of Northumberland who left England because hee could not be suffered to enioy a second wife his first wife then suruiuing This Dudley now enioyeth his second wife by a dispensation from his Holinesse and is in great esteeme with the Duke of Florence in regard of his Art in contriuing and fabricating of ships and Gallyes and hath obtained of the Emperour to bee declared Duke of Northumberland who hath giuen him the title already and the
