which_o you_o turn_v to_o their_o dispraise_n any_o just_a umpire_n will_v attribute_v to_o their_o virtue_n but_o that_o which_o i_o most_o wonder_n at_o your_o judgement_n for_o be_v that_o so_o preposterous_o you_o condemn_v the_o society_n of_o ambition_n whereas_o the_o father_n of_o the_o society_n with_o a_o constant_a submission_n have_v ever_o refuse_v all_o honour_n &_o preferment_n as_o well_o ecclesiastical_a as_o political_n and_o which_o be_v more_o they_o bound_v themselves_o by_o vow_n not_o only_o not_o to_o aspire_v to_o honour_n but_o even_o to_o refuse_v the_o same_o when_o they_o be_v free_o offer_v unto_o they_o consider_v their_o whole_a course_n of_o life_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o all_o their_o ambition_n be_v to_o labour_v for_o to_o help_v all_o and_o that_o without_o any_o pretence_n of_o interest_n or_o gain_n they_o value_v not_o the_o expense_n of_o their_o own_o pain_n so_o they_o may_v profit_v many_o 5._o but_o you_o call_v into_o question_n the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o society_n of_o jesus_n and_o for_o that_o you_o tax_v they_o but_o see_v with_o what_o reason_n for_o if_o they_o must_v be_v blame_v for_o that_o holy_a name_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v for_o those_o religious_a person_n who_o take_v their_o name_n from_o the_o most_o bless_a trinity_n and_o your_o daughter_n here_o at_o paris_n what_o will_v you_o think_v of_o they_o that_o call_v themselves_o daughter_n of_o god_n final_o how_o will_v you_o censure_v my_o knight_n who_o be_v call_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n true_o i_o do_v not_o more_o dislike_v they_o that_o take_v their_o name_n from_o christ_n than_o any_o other_o 6._o you_o object_n that_o the_o divine_n of_o sorbon_n condemn_v the_o jesuit_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o they_o condemn_v they_o be_v innocent_a unknown_a and_o unheard_a for_o this_o i_o call_v to_o witness_v those_o very_a divine_v themselves_o who_o now_o admit_v they_o who_o their_o predecessor_n banish_v and_o honour_v they_o who_o they_o contemn_v nay_o they_o praise_v now_o and_o extol_v those_o that_o be_v condemn_v and_o stick_v not_o to_o take_v they_o for_o their_o director_n &_o master_n in_o all_o kind_n of_o learning_n 7._o you_o tell_v i_o the_o jesuit_n have_v hitherto_o remain_v in_o france_n only_o by_o connivance_n here_o i_o acknowledge_v and_o reverence_v the_o divine_a providence_n that_o have_v reserve_v this_o honour_n for_o i_o not_o yet_o achieve_v by_o other_o that_o i_o shall_v establish_v in_o this_o realm_n the_o society_n of_o jesus_n which_o hitherto_o have_v have_v no_o settle_a abode_n in_o france_n my_o predecessor_n have_v receive_v the_o society_n i_o will_v patronize_v and_o preserve_v they_o 8._o peradventure_o you_o will_v turn_v to_o the_o jesuit_n discredit_n that_o for_o which_o you_o ought_v to_o praise_v and_o honour_v they_o the_o university_n of_o paris_n earnest_o and_o open_o oppose_v they_o and_o what_o i_o pray_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o opposition_n all_o be_v that_o the_o father_n do_v not_o only_o equal_v other_o in_o learning_n and_o industry_n but_o also_o go_v far_o beyond_o they_o a_o clear_a testimony_n of_o this_o be_v the_o great_a number_n of_o youth_n that_o frequent_v the_o father_n school_n where_o together_o with_o learning_n they_o learn_v virtue_n but_o to_o stop_v this_o opposition_n i_o will_v make_v a_o decree_n that_o the_o university_n of_o paris_n shall_v no_o more_o oppose_v they_o and_o this_o you_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o 9_o but_o you_o will_v tell_v i_o that_o the_o able_a of_o your_o parliament_n get_v not_o their_o learning_n of_o the_o jesuit_n this_o i_o will_v not_o much_o gainsay_v for_o the_o able_a of_o you_o as_o they_o excel_v in_o learning_n so_o they_o exceed_v in_o year_n these_o get_v their_o learning_n in_o foreign_a nation_n before_o the_o society_n set_v foot_n in_o france_n other_o do_v not_o so_o and_o so_o i_o be_o certain_a they_o think_v and_o speak_v otherwise_o and_o what_o need_v they_o speak_v the_o matter_n itself_o speak_v we_o ourselves_o see_v how_o at_o the_o departure_n of_o the_o society_n out_o of_o france_n all_o the_o muse_n seem_v to_o depart_v our_o university_n be_v desert_n and_o mourn_v those_o come_v seldom_o at_o it_o who_o before_o daily_o in_o great_a number_n frequent_v the_o

the_o father_n join_v themselves_o to_o the_o ligue_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o their_o fault_n but_o to_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n but_o this_o i_o persuade_v myself_o

and_o creator_n in_o this_o life_n and_o afterward_o to_o enjoy_v he_o in_o perpetual_a eternity_n from_o this_o thought_n he_o draw_v a_o resolution_n to_o make_v this_o noble_a end_n of_o his_o the_o measure_n of_o all_o his_o action_n the_o first_o and_o last_o of_o all_o his_o thought_n and_o the_o only_a aim_n of_o all_o his_o desire_n to_o this_o his_o understanding_n to_o this_o his_o

of_o god_n the_o other_o thing_n intend_v by_o he_o in_o this_o devise_n be_v that_o he_o be_v to_o make_v account_n that_o he_o be_v never_o to_o rest_v in_o this_o world_n never_o to_o think_v he_o

like_o the_o sun_n which_o give_v light_a vigour_n and_o life_n to_o all_o the_o sphere_n of_o employment_n which_o he_o ever_o undertake_v after_o than_o that_o he_o be_v well_o fix_v and_o radicate_v in_o this_o first_o thought_n and_o have_v make_v such_o resolution_n as_o do_v flow_v from_o it_o his_o next_o solicitude_n be_v by_o what_o mean_v he_o shall_v best_o compass_v this_o end_n in_o the_o perfect_a manner_n that_o he_o can_v imagine_v which_o may_v tend_v most_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n here_o he_o reflect_v that_o certain_o the_o best_a way_n to_o find_v god_n be_v to_o follow_v christ_n and_o the_o near_o he_o come_v to_o christ_n the_o near_o he_o judge_v himself_o to_o be_v to_o the_o design_n he_o have_v lay_v of_o consecrate_v all_o his_o life_n to_o god_n great_a glory_n this_o than_o be_v his_o second_o thought_n out_o of_o which_o he_o draw_v this_o resolution_n to_o take_v christ_n for_o his_o pattern_n and_o mould_v all_o his_o action_n on_o the_o example_n which_o he_o shall_v see_v in_o christ_n who_o divinity_n and_o humanity_n be_v to_o be_v unto_o he_o the_o two_o table_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o high_a perfection_n meditate_v therefore_o daily_o on_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n he_o endeavour_v always_o to_o copy_n out_o in_o action_n something_o of_o that_o which_o he_o see_v in_o contemplation_n the_o humility_n of_o christ_n the_o meekness_n the_o modesty_n the_o temperance_n the_o mercy_n the_o obedience_n the_o fortitude_n be_v all_o as_o so_o many_o lesson_n which_o he_o study_v to_o get_v by_o heart_n and_o in_o all_o he_o profit_v so_o well_o that_o he_o leave_v to_o posterity_n admirable_a example_n so_o that_o he_o may_v just_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n imitatores_fw-la mei_fw-la estote_fw-la

the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n here_o be_v then_o the_o two_o fundamental_a thought_n which_o be_v like_o the_o two_o pole_n on_o which_o all_o the_o life_n of_o this_o great_a saint_n be_v turn_v
