B. THat the Religious Order of the Iesuits was at the first planted in the Vineyarde of Christ as a Tree which should produce an Antidote against the poyson of Heresie and such blossoms of Christian and religious workes as by the sweet sauor of them sinners might be constraind to bid adieu to the corruption of sinne and to prosecute the sweet smell of Repentance wee need no clearer demonstration then the lawes orders on the which this plant was groūded by the first Founder thereof This Exordium will make you know that the Author was a papist Father Ignatius And surely so long as by those first fathers that gaue it life it was cherished with the dew of Charity and cultiuated conformable to the intention of the first planter It brought forth two braunches the one of loue towards God the other towards their Neighbor Insomuch that it was a wonder to consider the plentie of fruites which it brought forth in the excellent education of Children the sauing of soules and the encrease of the Catholique Faith But the Diuell who makes vse of all good inuentions but as a Whetstone grewe as eager and cunning to destroy this worke and enterprize as the other to promote it tooke occasion euen from the greatnesse it self of this religious order and from that admirable progresse which in small time it had made to peruert the first institution of it with an artificiall subtilty in sted of those two first branches of Charity now vtterly dryed vp hee hath ingrafted two other the one of self-loue and the other of profit from which the Christian Republique receyues such damage that haply a greater cannot bee imagined as I am now about to demonstrate in this Discourse In the which I protest before God I haue no motion either of Interest or passion but an innocent zeale of the Publique good for the which I do assure my selfe I was borne and that Princes knowing their Artifice may preuent them by opportune remedies Now we are to know that the Religious orders of these Fathers the Iesuites being enlarged especially by the education of Children of which there is neither Citty nor Kingdome but hath need was euen from the beginning thereof by verie manie much desired and by diuers Princes so fauoured that in few yeeres it diffused it selfe as far as other orders had done in manie hundreds This greatnesse which almost alwayes induceth into mens minds a change of Custome raised vp in the heires of Father Ignatius such a loue towards their Societie that esteeming that more profitable vnto the Church of God and more helpefull in the reformation of the world then all other Orders they concluded among themselues to endeuour with all Art and industry to giue encrease to it and in that to giue groweth to the cause of Christ the good of the Church nay to vse their owne words to the onely

iealousies by their insight into the Subiects affection raise commotions and discord bringing into contempte the very person of the Prince Whence we must cōclude that the interest of State doth not comport that any Prince should confesse himselfe much lesse that he shold permit any of his Confidents Friendes Secretaries Counsellors or other his cheefe Ministers to confesse themselues to persons that attend so diligently to spy outmatters of State and to serue them selues of this means to insinuate into the fauour of Princes since there is this day no want of Religious persons men both for life and learning to be regarded equally with the Iesuites whome in this kinde they may employ who attend nothing els but the gouernment of soules and of their Monasteries Thirdly which is a greater discouery then yet wee haue made or shall make heereafter ye are to know that there are found amongest them foure sorts of Iesuites The first consistes of certaine secular people of both sexes adioyned to their society who liue vnder a certaine obedience which themselues call a Blinde Obedience squaring all their particular actions by the Iesuites counsell resigning themselues most readily in all thinges to be commanded by thē and these for the most part are Gentlemen or Gentlewomen the wealthyest Widdowes or the richest Cittizens or Marchantes from all whome as from fructiferous plants the Iesuites gather euery yeare a copious haruest of gold siluer Of this kinde are those women who in Italy call themselues Chettine who are induced by the Iesuites to forsake the world while in the meane time they get their pearls apparrell ornaments furniture of houses and finally very great possessions The second sort is of men alone but those as well Priests as Lay-men yet such as liue a seculare life and such as oft-times by the mediation of the Iesuites obtaine Pensions Church-liuings Abbeyes and other reuennews but these make a vowe to receiue a habite of the society at the pleasure of the Father Generall and therfore they are called Iesuits in Voto and by the labors of these men the Iesuites wondrously auaile themselues in the fabricke of their Monarchy For they maintaine in all kingdoms and Prouinces in al courts of Princes and Pallaces of great men such of these as shall serue them in a kind which I shall declare vnto you in the seauenth point of this discourse The third sort of Iesuits are those who remain in Monasteries and these are either Priests Clerkes or Conuerts who because at the first they came not from that profession may at the pleasure of the Father General be depriued of it although of themselues they haue no power to leaue it And these beeing such as haue no Office of importance for the most part doe simply obey in any thing that their Superiors command The fourth sort is of Politicke Iesuites through whose handes passeth the whole gouernment of religion and these are they who being tempted by the diuel with the same temptation that Christ had in the Gospell Haec omnia tibi dabo haue accepted the bargaine and therfore labour to reduce their society to an absolute Monarchy and to place the head thereof at Rome where all the principal affairs of the Christian world meete to gether There resides the head of these Politicians which is their Generall with a great number of others of the same profession who being first informed from their Spies of all such waighty important businesse as are to be treated in the Court of Rome hauing first among themselues agreed of such ends as for their own interest they desire each one takes his office to go euery day their circuit throgh the Courts of Cardinals Ambassadours and Prelates with whome cunningly they insinuat their discourse of such businesse as is then in hand or shortly to be handled representing it to them after what manner they please and in the same shape that by reflection from theyr owne ends themselues doe apprehend it ofttimes changing the aspect of the busines and shewing blacke for white And because the first interpretations made especially by religious mē are wont to make a notable impression in themind of him that heares them hence it proceedes that many times most important businesse treated by the Ambassadors of Princes and other graue persons of the Roman court haue not atained that successe which Princes expected because the Iesuites had praeoccupated theyr minds with theyr oblique relations effecting that those Ambassadors or other Agents should haue but smal credit with them And the same artifice that they vse with the Prelates of Rome they vse also with other Princes either by themselues or by the meanes of their Pensionary Iesuites out of Rome so that wee may conclude that the greaterpart of businesse thoroughout the Christian World dooth passe through the Iesuites handes and those onely take effect against which they make no opposition Most stupendious and impenetrable is the Art that in this kind they vse which though it cannot by mee be perfectly described yet may it liuely bee descryed by any Prince who will but daigne to read this little touch that I giue of thē because hee will presently reflect vpon what thinges haue past and as he shall vnderstād the truth of my discourse calling to mind with what art things haue beene handled he will discouer more of that which will seeme strange maruellous vnto him For not beeing content with this their close Artifice by which they thrust thēselus into the affayres of the World with perswasion that it is the onely meanes to archieue that Monarchall Iurisdiction at which they aime they made supplication to Pope Gregory the thirteenth That for the time to come he wold publiquely fauour theyr proiect and representing it to him vnder the publique good of the church they required that hee would commaund all his Legates and Apostolical Nuncios to take to them euery one for his companion and confident some Iesuite by whose counsell he should be gouerned in all his actions Fourthly by these cunning carriages and their insight into State busines the cheefe Iesuites haue gotten the loue of manie Princes as well Temporall as Spirituall which Princes they do perswade that they haue saide and done many things for their good and hereupon haue followed two waighty inconueniences First that abusing the friendship and goodnesse of those Princes they haue not cared to distaste many priuate but otherwise rich Noble Families vsurping the wealth of widdowes and leauing their family in extreame misery alluring to their Religion and to frequent their Schooles the most noble spirits who if haply they shall fall out to bee vnable and vnfitte for their purpose vnder some honest pretext they license them from their society but withall lay hold of their estates of which their society will needs be inuested heyres In the mean time absolutely excluding the poore from their schooles directly against the orders of the fore-named Father Ignatius and
