Dunstones Church-yard 1611. THE PRINTER TO THE READER DOest-thou seeke after the Author It is in vaine for hee is harder to be found then the parents of Popes were in the old times yet if thou haue an itch of gessing receiue from me so much as a friend of his to whom he sent his booke to bee read writ to me The Author was vnwilling to haue this booke published thinking it vnfit both for the matter which in it selfe is weighty and serious and for that grauity which himselfe had proposed and obser ued in an other booke formerly published to descend to this kinde of writing But I on the other side mustred my forces against him and produced reasons and examples I proposed to him the great Erasmus whom though Seribanius the Iesuit cal him one of our Preachers yet their great Coccius is well content to number him amongst his Authors And to his bitter iestings and skirmishings in this kinde our enemies confesse that our Church is as much beholden as to Luther himselfe who fought so valiantly in the maine battell I remembred him also how familiar a fashion this was amongst the Papists themselues and how much Rebullus that Run-away had done in this kinde as well in those bookes which he cals Salmonees as in his other which he entitles The Cabal of the Reformed Churches of which booke if he were not the Author hee was certainly the Apologist and defender Neither was that man whosoeuer hee bee which cals himselfe Macer inferiour to Reboul in this kinde when hee dedicated to Laughter to Pleasure his disputation of that horrible Excommunication of Paulus 5. against the Venetians and of other matters concerning the saluation of soules Both which not contenting themselues as this Author doth to sport and obey their naturall disposition in a businesse if you consider the persons light inough for what can bee vainer then a Iesuit haue saucily risen vp against Princes the Lords Anointed I added moreouer that the things deliuered in this booke were by many degrees more modest then those which themselues in their owne ciuill warres do daily vomit forth when they butcher and mangle the fame and reputation of their Popes Cardinals by their reuiued Lucian Pasquil. At last he yeelded made mee owner of his booke which I send to you to be deliuered ouer to forraine nations farre from the father and as his desire is his last in this kinde Hee chooses and desires that his other book should testifie his ingenuity and candor and his disposition to labour for the reconciling of all parts This Booke must teach what humane infirmity is and how hard a matter it is for a man much conuersant in the bookes and Acts of Iesuites so throughly to cast off the Iesuits as that he contract nothing of their naturall drosles which are Petulaucy and Lightnesse Vale. TO THE TWO Tutelar Angels protectors of the Popes Consistory and of the Colledge of Sorbon MOST noble couple of Angels least it hould be sayd that you did neuer agree and neuer meet but that you did euer abhorre one another and euer Resemble Ianus with a diuerseface I attempted to bring and ioyne you together once in these papers not that I might compose your differences for you haue not chosen me for Arbitrator but that you might beware of an enemy c̄omon to you both I will relate what I saw I was in an Extrasie and My little wandring sportful Soule Ghest and Companion of my body had liberty to wander through all places and to suruey and reckon all the roomes and all the volumes of the heauens and to comprehend the situation the dimensions the nature the people and the policy both of the swimming Ilands the Planets and of all those which are fixed in the firmament Of which I thinke it an honester part as yet to be silent then to do Galilaeo wrong by speaking of it who of late hath summoned the other worlds the Stars to come neerer to him and giue him an account of themselues Or to Keppler who as himselfe testifies of himselfe euer since Tycho Brachcs death hath receiued it into his care that no new thing should be done in heauen without his knowledge For by the law Preuention must take place and therefore what they haue found and discoured first I am content they speake and vtter first Yet this they may vouchsafe to take from me that they shall hardly find Enoch or Elias any where in their circuit When I had surueid al the Heauens then as The Larke by busie and laborious wayes Hauing climb'd vp th' eternall hill doth raise His Hymnes to Phoebus Harpe And striking then His sailes his wings doth fall downe backeagen So suddenly that one may saesely say A stone came lazily that came that way In the twinckling of an eye I saw all the roomes in Hell open to my sight And by the benefit of certaine spectacles I know not of what making but I thinke of the same by which Gregory the great and Bed● did discerne so distinctly the soules of their friends when they were discharged from their bodies and sometimes the soules of such men as they knew not by sight and of some that were neuer in the world and yet they could distinguish them flying into Heauen or conu●sing with liuing men I saw all the channels in the bowels of the Harth and all the inhabitants of all nations and of all ages were suddenly made familiar to me I thinke truely Robert Aquinas when he tooke Christs long Oration as he hung vpon the Crosse did vse some such instrument as this but applied to the care And so I thinke did he which dedicated to Adrian 6 that Sermon which Christ made in prayse of his father Ioseph for else how did they heare that which none but they euer heard As for the Suburbs of Hel I meane both Limbo and Purgatory I must confesse I passed them ouer so negligently that I saw them not and I was hungerly caried to find new places neuer discouered before For Purgatory did not seeme worthy to me of much diligence because it may seeme already to haue beene belecued by some persons in some corners of the Romane Church for about 50 yeares that is euer since the Councell of Trent had a minde to fulfill the prophecies of Homer

that hee hath drawne others into Religion but himselfe remained then in the Layety in so much as I remember that I vsed to call him The Saints Bell that hangs without and cals others into the Church Neither doe they which follow this Order bind themselues with any vow or oath Neither do I know any thing for which this kingdome is beholding to him but that he moued Baronius to write his Annals To all this Nerius sayde nothing as though it had beene spoken of some body else Without doubt either he neuer knew or had forgot that he had done those things which rhey write of him But Lucifer himselfe tooke the boldnesse hauing with some difficultio got Ignatius leaue to take Nerius his part and proceeded so farre that he aduentured to say that Baronius Bozius and others which proceeded out of the Hyue of Nerius had vsed a more free open and hard fashion against Princes and better prouided for the Popes Direct Iurisdiction vpon all Kingdomes and more stoutly defēded it then they which vndertaking the cause more tremblingly then becomes the Maiestie of so great a businesse adhered to ` Bellarmines sect and deuised such crooked wayes and such perplexed intanglings as by reason of the various and vncertaine circumstances were of no vse And that whatsoeuer Nerius his schollers had performed must be attributed to him as the fruit to the roote Ignatius perceiuing that Lucifer vndertooke all offices for Nerius and became Iudge Aduocate and witnesse pursuing his former resolution determined to interrupt him least when hee had enlarged himselfe in Nerius commendation hee should thereby bee bound to a reward He therefore cried out What hath Nerius done what hath he or his followers put in execution haue they not euer bene onely exercised in speculations and in preparatory doctrines Are these bookes which are written of the Iurisdiction of the Pope to any better vse then Phisitians Lectures of diseases and of Medicines whilest these Receits lie hid in Phisitians bookes and no body goes to the Patient no body applies the medicine to the disease what good what profit comes by all this what part what member of this languishing body haue they vndertaken In what Kingdome haue they corrected these humours which offend the Pope either by their Incision or cauterising what state haue they cut vp into an ●natomy what Sceletō haue they prouided for the instruction of Posterity Do Do they hope to cure their diseases by talking and preaching as it were with charmes and enchantments If Nerius shall bee thought worthy of this Honour and this place because out of his schollers writings something may be gleaned which may be applied to this purpose why should we not haue Beza and Caluin and the rest of that sort here in Hell since in their bookes there may be some things found which may be wrefted to this purpose But since their scope was not to extirpate Monarchies since they publis●ed no such Canons and Aphorismes as might be applied to all cases and so brought into certaine vse consequence but limited theirs to circumstances which seldome fall out since they deliuered nothing dangerous to Princes but where in their opinion the Souereignty resided in the People or in certaine Ephori since they neuer said that this power to violate the perso of a prince might either be takē by any priuate man or committed to him that therefore none of their disciples hath euer boasted of hauing done any thing vpon the person of his soueraigne we see that this place hath euer bene shut against them there haue bene some few of thē though I can scarce affoord those mē the honour to number them with Knox and Goodman and Buchanan which following our examples haue troubled the peace of some states and beene iniurious to some princes and haue beene admitted to some place in this Kingdome but since they haue performed nothing with their hands nor can excuse themselues by saying they were not able for wherein was Clement or Rauillac more able then they or what is not he able to doe in the middest of an Army who despiseth his owne life they scarce euer aspire or offer at this secret and sacred Chamber Lucifer had a purpose to haue replied to this that perchaunce all their hands which had bin imbrued in the bowels of Princes were not so immediatly armed by the Iesuits as that they were euer present at all consultations and resolutions and yet he meant to say this not as sworne witnesse but as Lucifer himselfe the father of lies in which capacitie he might say any thing But that it was inough that Confessours do so possesse them with that doctrine that it is not now proposed to them as Phisicke but as naturall food and ordinarie diet and that therfore for the performance of these things a Iesuits person is no more requisite then that the heart of a man because it sends forth spirits into euery limbe should therefore bee present in euery limbe that when it was in vse for the Consuls of Rome for the safety of their Country and army to deuote themselues ouer to the infernall god it was lawfull for themselues to absteine and forbeare the act and they might appoint any Souldier for that Sacrifice and that so the Iesuites for the performance of their resolutions might stirre vp any amongst the people for now they enioy all the priuiledges of the Franciscans who say That the name of people comprehends all which are not of their Order And that if this be granted Nerius his schollers are inferiour to none with whose bookes if all the Iesuites should perish the Church might content herselfe and neuer feare dearth nor leanenesse This Lucifer would haue spoken but hee thought it better and easier to forbeare for hee obserued that Ignatius had giuē a signe that all his troupes which were many subtile busie set vp their bristles grumbled and compacted themselues into one body gathered produced and vrged all their euidence whatsoeuer they had done or suffered There the English Legion which was called Capistrata which Campian led and as I thinke Garnet concluded was fiercer then all the rest And as though there had beene such a second martyrdome to haue beene suffered or as though they might haue put off their Immortalitie they offered themselues to any imploiment Therefore Lucifer gaue N●rius a secret warning to withdraw himselfe spoke no more of him and despairing of bringing in an other began earnestly to thinke how hee might leaue Ignatius out This therefore he said to him I am sorry my Ignatius that I can neither find in others deserts worthy of this place nor any roome in this place worthy of your deserts If I might die I see there would be no longe strife for a successour For if you haue not yet done that act which I did at first in Heauen and thereby got this Empire this may excuse you that no
