Pontif. cap. 6. This is the Vniuersall doctrine of all the Iesuits before cited and others who haue written there being scarcely any one that hath omitted to handle this subiect which is the principall scope and end of their instruction This is the euill doctrine whose fallacious manner of arguing and contrary to all the rules of discourse and disputation hatched the troubles of the yeere 1584. in which time the bookes of Cardinall Bellarmin were published and preached in all corners of France a doctrine of correction which constrained King Henry the third of happie memory who had hazarded his life a thousand times for the zeale of the Catholique religion to vse the remedy which he so many times found by experience to be mortall and deadly forced him to reuoke the Edict of peace vnder which his kingdome and Estate of France did quietly liue for to cicatrize to his great griefe so dangerous a wounde Let vs not any more deceiue our selues the false opinions in religion as they are diseases of the soule so ought they to be cured by spirituall remedies the substance of soules which is incorporall and inuisible cannot be constrained to receiue or reiect any thing by force and therefore those who thinke to establish religion by force as the Iesuits doe wholy forsake and abandon the law and will of God who would not in the building of the materiall Temple of Ierusalem the figure of his Church any one stroke should bee giuen with the hammer or any other toole of iron or that the pretext of religion should driue men into extremities so farre different from all religion let vs not attribute vnto ciuill warre the like effect as vnto the word of God which alone hath power to confirme mens hearts in the truth and to direct them from the contrary so hath there nothing else arisen from thence but that the strong potion of this Circe of ciuill warre made vs to forget our selues and all humanitic And although that both by the law of God and nature and by humane institution all subiects owe faithfull obedience to their Kings and naturall Princes without that any one of what quality soeuer or by reason of any priuiledge whatsoeuer can be freed or exempted Rom. 13 5.

Notwithstanding the Iesuits haue taken no other pretext but this to iustifie the vsurpation of the Kingdome of Nauarre made by Ferdinand King of Spaine vpon Iohn of Albret for no other occasion but because hee affisted the King of France against the will of Iulius the 2. whom Master Iohn du Tillet Bishop of Meaux calleth perfidiosus sceleratus vecors perfidious wicked foolish in stead that Mr. Gilbert Genebrard a Doctor brought vp in the schoole of the Sorbonne in his Chronologie hath written Ferdinandum Hispaniae regem nullo meliore iure quam quod sibi vtile commodum esset regnum Nauarrae expulso loanne Albreto occupasse That Ferdinand King of Spaine had no better right to possesse himselfe of the Kingdome of Nauarre by expelling Iohn Albret but that it was fit and commodious for him If the Frenchmen hath perseuered in this nourishment they had neuer sucked this outlandish poison which afterward was diffused into their veines wee had not seene the rebellion stirred vp against our good King Henry the 3. by this doctrine confirmed by the booke whereof Bellarmin was the Author intituled Franciscus Romulus published in the yeere 88. by which the mindes of the French men being at that time as they reported sufficiently disposed and prepared it was perswaded that the taking of armes against a Soueraigne Prince was lawfull wee had not seene so many fellowe-Citizens cruelly bent one to the ruine of the other the heart of this poore Estate oppressed with so many calamities the brest thereof so surcharged with anguish and endurances and the skinne so dried vp and withered vpon the bones that there was neither muscle nor sinew of this great body which could discharge his function and our Country of France a thousand times as it were at the last gaspe But more then this it had

Pont. chapter 1. 2. that the opinion of the schoole of Paris which doth not auow the absolute and infallible power erat erronea haeresi proxima Nay rather is it not heresie to doubt of the faith of the schoole of Paris It is true that for proofe of his proposition he alleageth a passage of Deuteronomy chap. 17. which I very much grieue that this occasion enforceth to speake it hee hath corrupted for whereas it is in all the editions of the Bibles yea in that which was receiued and imprinted by the commandement of Pope Sixtus the fifth according to the text of the tongues Veniesque ad Sacerdotes Leuitici generis ad iudicem qui fuerit illo tempore quaeresque ab eis qui indicabunt tibi iudicii veritatem And thou shalt come vnto the Priests of the Leuits and to the Iudge that shall be in those daies and shalt enquire of them and they shall shew thee the truth of the iudgement He hath written ad Sacerdotem against the expresse prohibition of the holy spirit which forbiddeth vs to change or diminish any thing from the booke of life The selfe same happened vnto the Author of the Catholike institution the second booke 8. chapter vpon the like subiect where citing the place of Saint Luke chapt 22.

neuer entred into the thought of a French man if this doctrine had not beene that it was lawfull to make any attempt vpon the sacred persons of Kings and permitted to kill them for as they haue taught that Kings may be excommunicated and deposed if they failed to submit themselues vnto the will of this absolute power so they haue also said that it was meritorious to kill them and by the one haue proued the other this is the course they take to proue it Princes by being excommunicate condemned and deposed of publique persons become priuate and particular men without hauing either authority or subiects and so from being Kings they become tyrants vsurpers and perturbers of the common peace and repose Occupantem tyrannicè potestatem quisque de populo potest occidere si aliud non sit remedium est enim publicus hostis Emanuel Sa in verbo Tyrannus Any one of the common people whatsoeuer may kill him who tyrannically vsurpeth the authority if there be no other remedy for he is a publike enemie The obiect of all the enterprises made by Parricides vpon which ground both Cardinall Bellarmin in his Apologie against the King of England pag. 299. and Ioannes Mariana in his first booke de rege regis institutione and the Iesuits likewise author of the booke intituled Amphitheatrum honoris haue all after one manner praised the abhominable parricide of our poore Prince and the Iesuits of Bourdeaux haue both saide and written that this was the cause of their safety which this very doctrine the rashnes of Barriere was armed in the yeere 1593. streng thened by the Counsell of Varrade Rector of the Iesuits against our inuincible King Henry the fourth At which time father Commolet did egge him forward by his outcries Iudg. 3.15 desiring an Ehud of what quality soeuer he were beleeuing that Barriere could not faile of his enterprise or if he did that he would stirre vp the minde of some other to attempt the like A great misfortune that France hath lost this aduantage which in ancient time was attributed vnto her that shee nourished no monsters But God stirred vp his Hercules to the end that he might subdue them of whose hand next after his bountie he would wee should receiue this diuine worke and the miracle of the rising againe of this Estate In this time the Iesuits knew that there rested nothing which could any more be opposed against the victorious armes of our great King that hee was as certainely assured of the honour of conquering his Kingdome as that it iustly appertained vnto him they made shew as if they would take a sweeter and more pleasing tune and for to vphold and preserue their society published the resolution which they said their Generall had made at Rome in the end of the yeere 1593. by the which they were expreslie forbidden to intermeddle with any affaires they protested to obey the same and to renounce all factions to honor and serue the King as Subiects whose clemencie should more appeare in pardoning thâ—m all then in the remnant and surplus of those who had swarued and straied from their duty this is that which then they touched in their pleading and by their defense put in print and it may bee was the onely reason and consideration that they were not at that time depriued of the Kings grace and pardon The wisdome of the Iesuits consisteth in gaining time vpon such occasioÌ„s their designe neuer dying they attend the commodity that their seed may bring forth fruit in season foure or fiue moneths after at the instant that the King left his armie this Prince the Pourtrait of valour it selfe in the midst of two hundred gentlemen in his house of the Louure is wounded by Chastel a scholler of the Iesuits nourished in their doctrine and hurt in such sort that without the manifest prouidence of God who loued vs at that time this Monarchie had beene vtterlie subuerted and we miserable men had beene depriued of the blessings which hee afterwardes obtained for vs by his incomparable valor his iustice and piety no lesse admired at by all the world then his arme and his sword were redoubted This miserable monster in the presence of you my Lords said hee ought else but that the King although he were a Catholike was yet out of the Church that he yet stood excommunicate that he must be slaine is there any thing here to bee seene differing from their propositions Barriere had said as much before Guignard the Iesuite written it and after a thousand blasphemies vttered against his naturall Prince Henry the 3. added this moreouer against the last King If hee cannot be deposed without warre let armes be taken against him if that cannot be done let him bee killed True enemies of quiet and repose quite contrary vnto the disciples of our Sauiour Iesus Christ who vsed no other armes but their praiers and preached nothing but loue charity and concord Your enterprises against our Kings and their Crownes by your owne confession deserued a greater condemnation then that which was pronounced against you by the decrees what tongue can sufficiently praise the power and effects of the Iustice of this great Parliament which in the middest of the greatest tempests hath alwaies measured her actions by the compasse of the good and honour of this Estate notwithstanding all oppositions your glory shall remaine immortall Plato in his Politickes holdeth an opinion which hath beene followed by many others that there are ages in the which God in person sitteth at the Sterne of this Vniuers doth guid and turne it according to his good pleasure but that againe there are other times in which God neglecteth this gouerment and that then the world destitute of the conduct of his creator taketh a motion contrary vnto that which God gaue it so that the East commeth to be the West and the North taketh the place of the South and that when this vniuersall conuersion doth happen the generations fashions and manners of men are either extinct or changed As Christians we are brought vp in a better schoole and fully resolued that the prouidence of God neuer abandoneth the guiding and conduct of the worlde and doth not in any age permit the Intelligences or Angels which moue the celestiall spheres to depart from the motion and measure which hath beene once prescribed them notwithstanding when calamities raigne in the world it seemeth that God sleepeth and that he will meddle no more with ought the rebellion of the people accompanied with all kind of vices with forgetfulnesse towards God and all sorts of miseries and calamities during the ciuill warre had taken so deepe roote and so strange and maruellous a growth On the contrary with the acknowledgement of our King our Soueraigne and lawfull Prince with the concord of vs who are fellow-Citizens and his Subiects as God more properly made vs to see his presence and his gouernment so likewise he made vs
Seminaries was committed vnto the Iesuits presently they meditated how they might take from the Priests and Ecclesiasticall men of the Country whose deuotion and affection had beene prooued the rule and authority from ouer their flocke for to attribute it vnto themselues caused Arch-priests to bee made which should yeeld them a reason of all things and would that the contributions and almes of the Country which are not small should be distributed by their hands which caused more trouble amongst those poore Catholiques then all their persecution in the which before they medled with matters there was neuer any obiect of committing treason yea they came to such excesse that some Ecclesiasticall men of England hauing passed the Sea for to aduertise his holines of this disorder Persons the Iesuite made them to be put in prison and to be handled as malefactors and schismatikes and hindered their appeales from being receiued These poore men thus afflicted found meanes by the Councell of the Vniuersity of Paris to make the iustice of their complaint to appeare whereupon came forth the Breue of Pope Clemēt the 8. by which the Ecclesiasticall men of England were forbidden to render any account of their administration vnto the Iesuits or to their Generall nor to communicate their affaires vnto them by letters or otherwise but to addresse themselues directly to his holinesse with reuocation of that which Cardinal Caietan protector of England had decreed in fauour of them principally concerning the distribution of the almes and after that the trouble of that Church ceased and the peace thereof had continued longer had it not beene for the negotiations of the Iesuits in that which rather concerned the Monarchie of the world then the Kingdome of heauen Another example without exception and the carriage whereof was publike and notorious a testimony of the mediocrity whereof they boast that they haue gotten the perfection and of the peace which they procure vnto the Church The inquisitiō was placed in the hands of the Dominicans as well for their great and excellent knowledge as for the great seruices they had done the Catholike Church time hath not diminished the ancient and first glory of this order The Iesuits whose designe tendeth to the soueraigne dignity of the Church bethought themselues to stirre vp against them a dispute which they call de auxillijs concerning iustification thinking that by getting some aduantage vpon the reputation of these Religious men lesse cunning then they are it would bee easie to pull out of their hands this powerfull function although they neuer had abused the same Which Pope Clement vnderstanding forbad the disputation notwithstanding the Iesuits published the same and there is no man who is ignorant that this wise and holy Pope desired to abate their ambition confessing that hee had entred into speech thereof with Cardinall Tolet who preferred towards his latter end the honor and good of the Church before the factions of his society that he had sought meanes to make the counsell of Sixtus the fifth to preuaile which was to shut them vp and to submit their Generall to the capitular resolutions of the society and to make him triennall from the which that they might secure themselues they haue obtained a Bull from Pope Gregory the foureteenth which importeth excommunication to all those who should offer to enterprise the like but the Pope being not able to bring it to passe and Cardinall Tollet being deceased he would vnder colour of reforming their Order haue sent their Generall into Spaine which the Iesuits withstood affirming vnto his Holinesse that he could not do it without preiudice of his health which made one amongst them to enquire of a woman which was possessed with an euill spirit what should be the successe of that voyage doubting with others of his society that this was a meane to diminish the power of Aquauiua which is as great at Rome as that of the Pope The leauen which the Iesuits had left in the Townes where the Kings Edict touching there banishment was not executed made them alwaies to encrease the hope of their returne histories the witnesse of time the memorie of ages past the mirror of men the messenger of all the accidents which declare the truth shall faithfully report vnto posterity that they haue not omitted ought which might make for their purpose and they haue not concealed it in a great discourse composed of thirty or fourty articles which they published and supposed it to haue been made in the yeere 1603. by the King in answere to the graue remonstrances of his Parliament which they impose and thrust vpon strange nations as if it were true hauing made it to bee printed in Latin and Italian and lately Gretserus in Germany for their last discharge and also Posseuin doe imploy it in their Bibliotheca or Chronicle which they haue composed to the end that this imposture should passe current vnto posterity who after that they had beene so bold as to compare their reestablishment which was of pure and meere grace vnto the diuine and lawfull establishment of our King in his Estate yet they confesse that they obtained it as they might very hardly As we all acknowledge that the clemency of our King hath giuen peace to his people so it was necessary for him to assure the foundations thereof by iustice in case of so great so inueterate and pernicious a corruption for the sure establishment of the common weale not to content himselfe to command wel but to inhibite the committing of euill Great King which hast beene without comparison more exalted in vertue then in dignity aboue other men your good seruants wounded by the knife which hath shortened your daies shall for euer complaine that your vnmeasured clemencie and gentlenesse hath encreased the boldnesse of those who haue beene to you as very infidels as you haue beene vnto them a good and gracious King Our heart was sound our wound recouered and the griefe of the Vniuersity in particular beganne to breake away when the Iesuits emploied the intercession of Pope Clement the 8. about their reestablishment in this kingdome All Christendome can be witnesse of the deuotion which our King did beare towards the holy Sea and of the honour which hee gaue particularlie vnto Pope Clement for his high great and eminent vertues the bounty of the King more respected the contentment of the Pope and the assurance which he gaue him then the naturall apprehension of the iniuries and outrages which he had receiued so that after manie commandements vnto you my Lords and many remonstrances by you the letters which they had obteined were verified it being worth the noting that the conditions added vnto their reestablishment by meanes whereof men thought to bring them to the tearmes of simple religious men and obedient Subiects being consented and agreed vnto by the Pope were not allowed by their Generall by reason that they were different from the principall rules of
the euill which afterwards men fall into vnawares they say that our soile is soft that in one yeere they haue taken notice of all our humors that they haue already procured of their side the vnaduised weaknesse of woman and children that wee are men little speculitiue who will bee quickly carried away that wee are ready and easie to be moued that they need not but a little to beginne and set their affaires on foot that afterwards they roule of themselues and flie on as fast as they can to the very height of all excesse Homer saith that a sword once vnsheathed draweth men on by some secret instinct to designes not thought of and seldom is guided by the discourse of wisdome and discretion this is a crisis vpon the which all Christendome doth set her eies Needeth there any greater proofe or confirmation of this which wee haue said then the treatise newly composed by Cardinall Bellarmine presently after the absence of our Sunne by the which lifting vp his disguise hee vseth no longer the terme of correction it is not for heresie or crime that he maintaineth that the Pope may excommunicate and depose Kings but vpon whatsoeuer subiect it pleaseth him if hee see that the good of the Church require it de principe facere non principem of a prince to make him no prince and that he hath this power not only ouer Kingdoms but ouer all that which apperteineth vnto either Christians heretikes schismatikes or scandalous people in what sort soeuer if they wil not yeeld submit thēselus vnto his propositiōs which being granted their conclusions are ineuitable Do they not write that there is a new sect of Catholiques Roiall as if to loue the King and to be a good Catholike were things contrary one to the other and incompatible he particularly repenteth that for modesty sake hee hath sometime auowed that Ecclesiasticall men as subiects owe obedience vnto Princes now he confidently affirmeth Clericos principibus Ethnicis solo facto nullo iure fuisse subditos That Ecclesiasticall men were subiect vnto heathen Princes onely in fact and not of right To conclude this doctrine is the open destruction of the authority of Kings and of their power the subuersion of all the Estates of Christendome the cypher and strange character wherewith they holde correspondence with all that which is either corrupted or corruptible In the estate wee now stand the Iesuits cannot haue a greater obstacle then to be bound strictly to obserue the conditions of their reestablishment and to bring them thereunto to make them subiect vnto Magistrates and ordinary powers as other Religious men are without suffering their enterprizes to maintaine and keepe the Bishops Prelates and Curates in their dignities against whom they set themselues as they doe against all other Ecclesiasticall persons not to permit them to haue the instruction of youth to the end that institution and learning come not vnder their monopoly and that henceforward it strengthen it selfe in such sort that a man must leaue to be a Frenchman for to become a Iesuite and principally to haue a care that men doe not abandon nor forsake the authority of our doctrine which is the foundation of loue and fidelity to the Roiall dignitie for to receiue the instructions of this new diuinity framed and composed for the interest and respect of their particular greatnesse and authority wherewithall they would adde to our beleefe this 13. article of faith that all Crownes do depend of the Pope and are held of him who may depose Kings at his pleasure and aboue all the French Kings so that our King should by this meanes finde his Crowne worse then it was left him and receiue this preiudice during his minority Our King who growing vp and prospering shall learne the noble and valiant deeds of his father his vertues being the ornament and honour of Kings whose glory ought to beginne and ende with the praise of his name he shall inherite his prowesses and being come yong to this actiue art of managing a Kingdome instructed by the sage counsels of his mother shall bee reuerenced as Salomon for his wisdome and serue for a new miracle to all the world and to France God for our sinnes not hauing permitted that our great King of whom we were not worthie should continue amongst vs his yeeres shining with all vertues nor peaceably end the course of his life which remained let vs all wish and desire with our heart and with affection that it would please the diuine bounty to confirme according to his deserts and as it is greatly behoofefull and expedient for France the assurance of this our greatest happinesse consisting in the perpetuall continuance of his roiall progenie for the conseruation greatnesse and authority whereof the Vniuersity of Paris from the Temple of the Muses where this great Hercules doth now make his abode doth the third time aduertise you of the tempest wherwith the Iesuits threaten the calme of France and if it happen which God forbidde that our presages and aduertisements be yet contemned we shall haue this contentment and testimony in allsucceeding ages that with the truth of the holy doctrine wherein we haue alway continued we haue not failed to performe the dutie and affection we owe vnto our King and Countrie The Vniuersity concludeth humbly praying that the Iesuits now demandants bee denied the effect and allowance of their letters and consequently that they be prohibited from reading teaching or vsing any other cholasticall function in the Vniuersity The Order meane before iudgement vpon the arguments of both parties THe Court vpon the allowance of the letters doth order that the Counsell of both parties shal amend their pleadings and adde whatsoeuer they shal think fit within 8. daies they shal pleade in Barre or reply within the time appointed by the order for the hearing of iudgement doth order that the Prouincia and those of his company demandants shall forthwith subscribe the submission made by their Prouinciall to conforme themselues to the doctrine of the schoole of the Sorbonne and principally in that which concerneth the conseruation of the sacred persons of Kings the maintenance of their regall authority and the liberties of the French Church from all time and antiquity kept and obserued in this Realme and that all shall be viewed and communicated vnto the King his solliciter generall and annexed vnto the determination and decree of the Court. In the meane time hath inhibited and doth inhibite and forbidde the demandants to make any innouation or to doe or enterprise any thing contrary vnto the letters of their reestablishment and in preiudice of them and of the decree verifying the same or to intermeddle by themselues or any other persons in their behalfe with the instruction of youth in this Citie of Paris in any sort whatsoeuer or there to vse anie scholasticall function or exercise vpon paine of loosing the benefit of their reestablishment which hath beene assented vnto reseruing costes Made in Parliament the 22. of December 1611.
