skorne to come to any one but where they may be daintily and costly entertayned they looke not after the cottages of the poore nor minister their help to them be there neuer so much need Moreouer they are so delighted with equiuocation or a subtile and dissembling kind of speech as that to the scandall of others they are not ashamed to defend it in their publick writings There were read before the Iudges on the bench in open Court and in the hearing of all the people the letters of a certain Iesuite named Southwell wherein equiuocations were most absurdly defended which gaue cause of laughter to the hereticks and occasion of scandall to the Catholicks They take pleasure also to scatter rumors and to suggest certaine nouelties in the eares of Catholicks yea to forge and inuent things that are not insomuch as they are commonly held now a dayes great lyars and it is come to that passe that though they sweare men will not beleeue them All Vniuersitie men and such as haue taken any degree in schooles and such in our countrey are most regarded they hate most despise contemne and reproch It is a common report in England that had it not bin for the pride and ambition of the Iesuites there had eare this bin graunted some toleration in Religion To conclude omitting all other things which are very many I wil only rehearse one which I haue heard of many that it is come to this passe now that the Catholicks stand in more feare of the Iesuites then of the hereticks For the hereticks say they can but chasten the bodie only but the Iesuites wound both their bodies and their good name They do not indeed directly cause Priests to be apprehended but indirectly That is hauing spread some reports of them whereby their good name is taken away so as they stand suspected either of heresie or of some other heynous offence no Catholick entertayneth them and so consequently they are driuen to pouertie how can they escape the hands of the hereticks And albeit they lye in prison and bonds and are many wayes tormented if they be not crowned with the glory of martyrdome they shal neuer be purged from that former suspition but shall be accounted euery day more and more as hereticks Certayne chiefe points of accusations wherewith many English men haue iustly charged the Iesuites vnto the Pope and diuers Cardinals taken out of the Memoriall and other letters some of them dated at Rome 8. of Nouember 1597. Touching the Iesuites in England THe Fathers of the Societie do dissent among themselues Fa. Henrie the superior and Fa. Edmonds in the Prison at Wisbich and there 26. Articles of their dissension If any Priest haue a conuenient place of residencie the Iesuits will not cease vntill they haue cast him out and that by wicked meanes by defaming him and bringing him into suspition That the Iesuites are the firebrands of all soditions That the Iesuites by right or wrong seeke simply and absolutely the Monarchie of all England They are enemies to all secular Priests They are the causes of all the discord in the English Nation They are called of the schismaticks horse-leaches or bloud-suckers That Fa. Parsons and Sir Fra. Inglefeild Knight deuised the complot to set the Cardinals Aldobrandinus Caietane and the Bishop of Cassana together by the cares and to fall foule one vpon an other N. wrote to Cardinall Allen that Fa. Holt stoode guiltie and might be accused by him of such infamous matters as he durst not make mētion of in his letters That Fa. Holt did not only intend but would indeede giue wretched England in Conquest to himselfe and his fauorites That Fa. Holt and his companions had gathered such an infinite masse of money from the Catholicks in England for dispensations or vnder the colour of expending it to their vses as many credibly affirmed it to exceede the summe of 50000. pounds english which make two hundreth millions of Italian Scutes That the Iesuites haue driuen certaine excellent men to desperation inforcing them to leaue England and to enter into some religious order or to take some other miserable course That the Iesuites in England by certayne cunning sleights hauing gotten into their hands all authoritie good estimation and all the stock or treasure of money do what they list at home and abroade They thrust out and let in hire and buy intercept letters and maintayne factions as they please them selues That Fa. Holt in Belgia and Parsons in Spayne haue continued these nine whole yeres to the great gricfe of the Nobilitie and Clergie and haue procured themselues to be continued the Kings seruants That there are many things in the dealings of these Fathers which offend good men viz. the contempt of Nobilitie the turning away of Students from the Colledge at Doway the attempting to bring the most flourishing kingdome of England into a Prouince the polling and pilling of Catholicks in England vnder the colour of holy vses by intollerable fraude a continuall enterdeale with hereticks and men of suspected religion There must be care taken that the Priests in England may haue either equall or greater faculties then the Iesuites seeing their pride by reason of their large faculties is fenced as it were with authoritie That the English Nobles which are in Belgia wonder that his Holynes suffreth Iesuites in England who are the firebrands of all contentions especially in any place of authoritie and that these ten yeers and more notwithstanding the miserable clamor and lamentations of our Nobles and Gentlemen who be oppressed vnder the yoke of slauery and their tyrannie The Iesuites do withstand any mans comming out of England into Belgia vnlesse they know him prepared to write to speake to do what they will and that he sweare to be ruled by them and herein they exercise notorious tyrannie Other infinite matters of this nature are omitted which are conteyned in the letters that are kept vpon record Taken out of letters dated at Rome 8. Nouember 1597. Concerning the whole Societie and the Iesuites at Rome THe Iesuites are so ambitious as not content with the bounds which their Fathers placed in their vnsatiable desire they haue alreadie swallowed vp Kingdomes and Monarchies That being led by this ambition they go about to change the forme of the Hierarchie or supreme gouerment of the auncient Church by disordered packing That this pride and ambition of the Iesuites is the cause of seditions not only in England in the very prisons there in the Low Cuntries and in Italy but all the world ouer That this their ambition hath taken footing not only in Prouinces and Cities but also in priuate families it separateth brethren one from an other and the husband from the wife inflaming them with rancor and enuie one against another That men must giue way to the time as in the controuersie at Rome least while they set a damme against the streame of this their pride the raging course thereof do
