all stones of estimation and value which they trade in from the Indies and else where that there is an opinion through Italie that the greatest part of them that are sold in Venice are the proper goods and commodities of those Jesuites the ground of which opinion hath beene received from their owne Brokers who have had the sale of them But to rip up all their juglings legerdemaines stratagemeticall plots and combustions in state which would aske a voluminous Tract I shall intreate the Reader to satisfie himselfe for the present with this compendious and briefe Preface onely my purpose being in the next place to discover them not onely for bloody Butchers but most rigorous regicides their damnable plots and practises deserving the hatred and detestation of all men which I shall strive to doe by some few examples and if the Tree may be judged of by the fruit wee shall easily see what these Iesuites are To begin with France Henry the third of that name after he had for their many murthers and massacres of the Protestants and withall their insufferable insolence to him caused the two brother Guizes the Duke and Cardinall to be slaine at Chartres after being reconciled to the Protestant King of Navarr and marching to beleaguer his rebellious Subjects in Paris being at a place called St. Clawds hee was most traiterously stabbed with a knife in the bottome of the belly by a Fryer of the Order of Iacobin set on by the Iesuites of which wound he dyed the next day following in the midst of his Army And his successor first King of Navarre and after of France for his many noble victories stiled Henry the great having subdued Champaigne and all Picardie in his returne to Paris was stab'd in the face with a knife also by a yong desperate Student whose name was Iohn Chastell instigated and set on by the former faction for which preditorious fact he was deservedly torne to pieces with wild horses the twenty ninth of December but the King by Gods preservation was recovered of that hurt For which hee instituted Knights of the Order of the Holy Ghost in Ianuary being the yeare of grace one thousand five hundred ninety five but this trayterous violence offered him was but the presage of a future but more fatall disaster For this potent King the next day after hee had seene his Queene most magnificently crowned at St. Denis upon friday being the foureteenth of May and in the yeare 1610. about foure of Clocke in the afternoone was murthered in his Coach by two stabs with a knife passing the street called Ferroneny by one Francis Ravillack born in Angolisme which happened after hee had lived sixe and fifty yeares and one and thirty dayes having reigned in Navarre thirty seven yeares and eleven moneths or thereabouts and in France twenty yeares nine moneths and thirteene dayes but the Traytors death because it was so remarkable give mee leave a little to insist He was by profession a Lawyer and by the conjecture of all men was spurred on to perpetrate this horrible act by the Iesuites though all which hee openly confest was that what hee did was by the instigation of the Devill and his reason because the King tollerated within his Kingdome two Religions the manner of his death was as followeth after being rackt and enduring severall sorts of torments in prison he was brought thence in his shirt with a Torch of two pound weight lighted in his one hand and the Knife with which he had murthered the King chain'd to the other and then set upright in a Dung-cart the people ready to teare him in peeces had not the Officers restrayned them thence he was brought to the Scaffold where he crost himselfe to shew he dyed a Papist he was next bound to a St. Andrewes Crosse and his hand chained to the knife burnt in a furnace of fire and brimstone yet would confesse nothing onely lamentably roared but by none pittied Then was his flesh pulled off with hot burning pincers and oyle rosin pitch and brimstone powred into his wounds and on his navell clapt a roundle of clay into which was powered molten lead at the last his body was torne in peeces with foure strong horses which were not able to plucke his sinewy limbs asunder till the flesh under his armes and thighs was cut and then was hee totally dis-membred then were his limbs burnt to ashes and cast into the wind his goods confiscate to the King the house in which hee was borne utterly demolished and made even with the earth never any structure to be built there after and his father and mother to depart the Realme never more to returne upon the penaltie of being hanged and that his brethren sisters unckles and all of the name should upon the same forthwith change their names to some other so that Ravillack should not be so much as spoken thorow the Realm And so much of this Iesuiticall Arch-Traytor to the terrifying of others The like in the Low Countries was attempted and committed upon the person of that renowned Protestant Prince William of Nassaw Prince of Orange where a bloudy villaine thorow his owne cloake a wainscot doore with a pistoll double charged shot to death in his owne palace confessing at his most torturous death in the middest of torments that saving Ravillacks wanted example that he was animated and encited to that bloudy facinorous enterprise by the continuall instigation of the Iesuiticall faction The Iesuites plots discovered which they have been about this ten or eleven years worse than that of the Gun-powder Treason IN the yeare of Grace one thousand six hundred twenty nine at Salamanca an Vniversity in Spaine by the consent of their Father generall at Rome there was an assembly of the Iesuiticall Society who called themselves the holy Synod in which one grave Seignior who was the Prolocutor began as followeth Deare brothers of the most Sacred Order wee being here convented this day being the birth day of our Father and Founder of ever-living memory Ignatius Loyalla it is fit that we consult and determine of some affaires that may tend to the strengthening of our power the advance of our reputations and the enriching of our coffers at which there was a generall hum thorow the Table when hee proceeded But as I have proposed you a thing fit to bee done so there ought meanes to be devised and found how it may bee accomplished the course it selfe of which I have maturely deliberated and in which I crave the assistance of your counsell is by setting England and Scotland Nations that have too long lived in fraternall love and amity at odds or to use the Scottish phrase at Deadly Feud which best how to bring to passe I sollicite you to deliver you sundry censures All of them unanimously applauding the matter now began singly to speake their opinions of the manner saith one I thinke
