A19436	The hellish and horribble councell, practised and vsed by the Iesuites, (in their priuate consulations) when they would haue a man to murther a king According to those damnable instructions, giuen (by them) to that bloody villaine Francis Rauilliacke, who murdered Henry the fourth, the late French king. Sent to the Queene Regent, in answere to that impudent pamphlet, published by Peter Cotton Iesuite, in defence of the Iesuites, and their doctrine; which also is hereunto annexed. Translated out of French.	Coton, Pierre, 1564-1626. Lettre declaratoire de la doctrine des peres Jesuites. English.	1610 (1610)	STC 5862; ESTC S108850	10,755	26

done and finished then is there no more but foure Iesuites that may be allowed to speake vnto him and when they draw neere vnto him they tell him that it appeares that there is some Diety dwelling in him and they are so affraide of the splendor shining in him as falling down and kissing his hands and feete they holde him no more for a mortall man but stand by him as halfe vnworthy of the great glory and happinesse whereunto he hath already attained and breathing forth many sighs they say vnto him I would to God that he had elected and called me into your estate and condition for then should I be certainly assured to go really and presently into Paradice without euer comming into Purgatory FINIS A Declaratorie Letter to the Queene Mother of the King Regent in France MADAME GOD ordained in the old Testament that no man should seethe the Kidde in the Milke of her Damme or Mother to instruct thereby according to the exposition of Philo the Iew that hée shold not be charged with new afflictiō who in other cases is oppressed According to this rule dictated of the same nature these men of our Society shold hope that by this lamentable accident which hath shaken with dreadfulnesse the two Poles of Christendome they might at least haue a free breathing to sigh after their incomparable losse a losse which to them is as much in particular as it is to all in generall and common But they pay the same price as happens to them who meeting vnder the ruines of a crazed building where one stone staies not for another doe couer and ouerwhelme them altogether vpon whom they fall we being with hart and body busied for translation of that precious pawne and remarkable gage which it pleased your Maiestie to haue consigned into our handes by them of my Lord the Prince de Conty and whereunto the principall Lordes of France rendered their latest honours when there were some slenderly affected to Catholique Religion and to them that are of our profession to discredit vs and make benefit of our absence who sowed abroade such bruites so farre off from true resemblance and probability as a man would neuer haue imagined that such calumnies could enter especially in railing into the opinion of any reasonable soule This came by the occasion of a very badde booke the doctrine whereof hath beene by good right condemned by the Court of Parliament some maintaining that the doctrine contained in that booke was common to al the Iesuites Others that it was in such sort particuler to the Authour as that many of the selfe same company had written to the contrary and altogether had condemned it in the body of the Prouinciall congregation some few yeares since A difference which the least passionate might determine concluding that disallowance should be the reason and that it must be attended what we should say thereof Whereupon I hauing beene named in particuler this is the cause Madame that instantly made mée set hand to pen to represent vnto you as to her that is equally affected to the true Religion the most interessed in the good of this State and the very safest Sanctuarie that innocence can haue that which the Doctors of our company haue written vpon this subiect Knowing that the greatnesse of affaires wil not easily permit you to looke into this case your selfe nor the little loue which those detractors doe beare vs make any true report vnto you After all this I wil declare with the selfe same breuity what is the common sense and what is the opinion of our Societie dispersed through the world concerning the matter whereof question is made They all presupposing one verity which cannot bée called into controuersie no not euen by the hatefull and enuious of this flourishing Crowne To wit that the subiect which was debated in the Councell of Constance and which since then hath beene declared more amply by our Catholique Doctors concerning the expulsion of Tyrants doth not any way touch the happy renowne and most honourable memory of him whose death we deepely deplore his life hauing beene so farre from the detection of tyranny as it hath beene and for euer shall bee to all the Monarches in the world the model of Piety Iustice Clemency Valour Debonaritie and Fatherly affection towardes all his Subiects In the first place the most Illustrous Cardinall Tolet presents himselfe to our eyes a personage of rare knowledge a Spaniard by Nation and a French-man in affection In the first Booke of his Summe the sixt Chapter there he teacheth in expresse tearmes that it is not lawful to attempt on the life of a Prince although he doe abuse his power And addeth that to maintaine the contrary is an heretical doctrine condemned in the Councell of Constance The most Illustrous and most learned Bellarmine answering to the selfe same obiection in the third Chapter of his Apologeticall answere to the booke of the King of great Brittaine speaketh thus I haue neuer read nor heard it said that eternall life should bee promised to them that attempt on the life of Kinges But contrariwise I haue read that the Article which saith Euery Tyrant may and ought lawfully bee slaine was long since condemned in the first Session of the Councell of Constance Very true it is that Iohn Wickliffe an English-man hee whom the Protestants doe praise so much and of whose commendations they haue made a Placarde in the frontispice of their Histories teacheth That he is no longer a Lord either Ecclesiasticall or Ciuill after the one or other is fallen into any deadly sinne An errour which the said Councell condemned in the eight Session Gregory of Valencia a man of eminent knowledge as publique testimony maketh proofe which is deliuered of him in Italie Spaine and Germany he writing on the second part of Saint Thomas Question 64 and conforming himselfe to the Doctrine of other Schoole Diuines determineth that it is no way permitted to attempt vpon the life of a Prince although he should abuse his authority Alphonsus Salmeron in the thirteenth Tome of his workes expounding the thirteenth Chapter of the Epistle to the Romans instructeth the very same he citeth the Councell of Constance and declareth the fact of Aod on Eglon King of the Moabites by the expresse and manifest commandement of God of whom no man ought to be Iudge in his particuler case Martin del Rio who is in like manner famous in al kinde of good writings in his Commentaries vpon Hercules Furens in Seneca number 920. saith That the sentence of the Poet is perilous and alleageth to the contrary the decree of the Councell of Constance which cannot be too often inculcated reiterated and declared to the people in this matter Sebastian Heissius in his Apologeticall declaration of Aphorismes attributed to the Iesuites doctrine sheweth by the very wordes of Mariana that he spake out of his owne head and that he himselfe perceiuing that he had
