binding Christians to the obseruance of it in a straiter maner th●n were the Pagans led by the sole light of Nature and Priests more strictly then Laickes to whom they are to preach sound doct●ine as wel by words as example and Bishops rather then ordinarie Priests and lastly aboue all the chief● Bishop of all because his example in this case would more preuaile then any other nay all the other beside This was the true cause why the King of great Britaine to safeguard himselfe from these King-killers was constrained to exact of his subiects an oath of allegiance for their ciuill and temporall obedience and the surety of his life notwithstanding the Popes Buls An oath which the frequent doctrine and practise of assassines now a dayes makes in a maner necessarie through Christendome to secure the estates and liues of Gods annointed and withall to free the Catholike Apostolike Romaine Religion toward the Kings and Princes of the earth from that blame hatred which this wicked doctrine drawes with it and to make it more gracious in the eyes of those who maintaine a different religion Yet is this wholsome doctrine more needfull in France then any where beside because the effects of the contrarie fall especially vpon the life and crowne of the King and rather now in the minoritie of our King then in his full age this erroneous doctrine ought to beresuted and the venters thereof punished because the practise of the ages past hath euer taught vs that when they would draw out their censures against the temporalties of Kings that commonly set vpon the weakest For these reasons the Vniuersitie of Paris daughter of the Kings of Fraunce most humbly beseecheth your Maiestie the Princes of the blood and the Lords of the Councell not to giue way to the Iesuites sithence they defend an opinion touching the popes omnipotencie and the suretie of the estates and liues of Kings quite contrarie to that which this Vniuersitie hath alwayes taught and maintained to the opening of their Schooles here in Paris much lesse to their incorporating into the Vniuersitie least they make the learning and manner thereof as repugnant to the estate of Kings as is their owne Sect as may appeare by those writings which Father Cotton dedicates to you and puts into your hands daily and by that experience which wee haue found of them and yet daily find in many quarters of Christendome and th● Vniuersitie shall euer be bound to pray for the establishment and happinesse of the King your Maiestie the Princes of the bloud and the Lords of the Councell FINIS THE TRANSLATOR TO THE READER Reader THat thou be not ignorant of the occasion of Anti-coton bepleased to be informed that since the last execrable parricide in France th● Doctors of the Sorbon met together in solemne Conuocation condemned a booke written by Iohn Mariana a Spanish Iesuite maintaining the murthering of Kings and before that was it adiudged by the presidents of the Parliament of Paris that the said booke should publikely be burnt by the common executioner before the great gate of the Pallace and withall as well the buying as selling of it was by them straitly forbidden hereupon a rumour spread it selfe that the Iesuites generally maintained the same opinion and consequently their writings to that purpose were as lyable to censure and fire as that of Mariana Whereupon Cotton newly returned from the Fu●erals of the Kings heart at la Flesche and seeming to be much appaled with this unexpected noyse was in a manner co●strained for the making up of this sodaine breach presently to put pen to paper to disclaime what Mariana had affirmed to produce the testimonies of his associates who seemed to defend the contrarie and lastly to set downe those articles in this point which his societie as he pretended would stand vnto upon this Declaratorie Letter of Cottons as himselfe termes it dedicated to the Queene Regent comes forth within a very short space this Anti-Coton written a● it seemes by one of the same Religion and therefore cannot but carrie the greater shew of truth which labours to proue against Cotton that the doctrine and practise of the Iesuites made a ready way vnto if not acted the late horrible blow in Fraunce which booke as I am credibly informed by a friend of good intelligence and credit being greedily deuoured of all sorts of the French So ●●ung Cotton that it wrung teares from him for very griefe and indignation and personall imputations as you know the truer they are the deeper impressions they usually worke Now because I suppose some may be desirous more particularly to understand of the quality of this Cotton who is so often named thorow this worke for the further content of such I can assure them th●t 〈◊〉 France he carries the name rather of a good Orator then a deepe Clark as 〈◊〉 better what belongs to points of Courtiership then Schollership notwithstanding a man he is much magnified by his owne Societie for hauing so thorowly understood and fully possessed the affections of the last King as if he had inchanted him to whom hee was both Confessor and Preacher and was besides that both at meales and at Masse continually in his eare no man more insomuch that in Fraunce it grew to a common iest upon any repulse from the King or deniall of acc●sse 〈◊〉 him Les oreills du Roy sont buschees de Cotton The Kings eares are stopt with Cotton Whereupon about three yeares since this Pasquill flew abroad in Paris Le Roy ne scauroit faire vn pas Que le Pere Cotton l'accompagne Mais le bon Sire ne scait pas Que le fin Cotton vient d'Espagne The King no where can step a foote But Father Cotton findes him out But the good King is not aware That fine Cotton is Spanish ware But I leaue his person and returne againe to his Letter in the scanning of which I have somewhat to say to him which the Author of Anti-Coton passeth by which is this that whereas he vndertakes to proue that the other Iesuites accord not with Mariana in the doctrine of making away Princes and to that end produceth the testimonie of Becanus one of their chiefe pillars turning to the passage he quotes I finde that Becanus in that very place approues 〈…〉 in expresse termes and withall holds 〈…〉 common tenent of the Iesuites his words are these In respons ad Aphorism 9. Atque haecest expressa sententia Iohannis Marianae loco citato aliorum Iesuitarum qui ha● de re scripserunt in qua non video quid Caluinistae possint meritò reprehendere And this is expresly the opinion of Iohn Mariana in the place alledged as also of the other Iesuites who haue written touching this subiect in which I see not what it is which the Caluinists ca●● iustly disproue That which I now affirme is a matter of fact and therefore needes no more adoe then the

matter to restraine him This is the complaint that Father Portugais lately made in our hearing in a funerall Sermon that he preached at S. Iames in the Shambles and which afterwards he set forth in print Yet this is not all for in stead of restrayning him he rather humoured him affirming euen at a full Sermon that his Maiestie made amends for his sinnes with many merits that Dauid committed faults although he were a man after Gods owne heart Nay he did well worse then this for he was the Messenger of the Kings loue and carried his Loue-letters vnto Ladies a great Prince of this kingdome and who now liues in Court can testifie that as hee told him how he wondred at this that Father Cotton should be employed in bringing a certaine Damsell vnto the King the said Iesuit answered him that indeed it was a sinne but that he was rather to regard the health of the King whose life was so necessarie vnto the Church and that this euill should be recompenced with a greater good And for his life therein he hath discouered egregious Hypocrisie He vaunted sometimes in the presence of sundry Lords of the Court who yet are liuing that since he was two and twenty yeares of age he neuer committed any mortall sinne and yet neuerthelesse the Abbot of Boyse hath iustified vnto him and is ready to iustifie it that since that time it is that a sentence hath passed against him at Auignon for getting a Nun with childe Mounsieur des Bordes Lord of Grigny a man that wants no good part saue to be a Catholike hath lying by him at this day Father Cottons loue Letters vnto Madamoyselle de Claransac de Misme written with his owne hand wherein after many protestations of friendship he tels her that he hopes to see her shortly to pay her the principall and the arrerages of his absence and that the affection h●e beares vnto her is such that he cannot promise himselfe to haue full ioy in Paradise if he finde not her there This Damsell was entred amongst the questions which this Iesuite was to propose vnto the Diuell Who doth not wonder at the incredible impudencie of this man who insinuates himselfe euery where and shrinkes not backe for an hundred puttings by who thrusts himselfe into euery action who makes himselfe a companion to Princes who in the Meditations he sets forth seemes as if hee would flatter God and bring him a sleepe with words that sauour of his Queane What an heart-burning would it be to see a caitife Iesuite besiege the spirit of a King and to be as a man may say tyed to his girdle while in the meane time Princes and Lords who haue done him great seruice haue much a doe to come neere him I cannot conceiue any reason why other of the Clergie who for many ages haue beene the pillars of the Church of Fraunce who neuer laide hand on their Kings and who neuer abandoned them in their afflictions especially in the time of our last troubles should not enioy the same fauour that these new come vpstarts who are not subiect to any Bishop but immediately depending of their Spanish Generall and of their Consistorie and who haue been already driuen forth for the crime of parricide Haue not other Religious Orders better deserued to be Confessors vnto the King or Preachers vnto the Queene whose Confessions these men will write into Spaine to some Prouinciall of Castile or to their Generall at Rome And if in seauen or eight yeares since their reuocation they haue bestird themselues so well that in diuers parts of Fraunce they haue gotten aboue an hundred thousand crownes of rent and built in diuers places especially at la Flesche an house that comes to aboue an hundred thousand crowns what wil they do if they continue but twenty years more This is a canker that stil gets ground They cannot be in a place but they must dominiere to they haue already built an house for nouices in the Suburbs of Saint Germanes a pretie towne might stand within the precincts of it and there the Rector of the Vniuersitie shall haue nothing to do but to looke on and from thence are they like to draw all the youth as being more subtile then others to insinuate into mens houses to please women giuen to deuotion to flatter their children to take neither for washing nor candles of their schollers so they may swallow lands and whole inheritances whence it will come to passe that the Vniuersitie of Paris shal be but a shadow and assuredly come to nothing From hence in tenne yeares space the Priuie Councell and Courts of Parliament and the great Councell shal be full of the Disciples of the Iesuites and the rest of the Clergie shal no more be made reckoning of for they haue a purpose to bring them lower and they speake contemptuously of them as of ignorant persons and yet I haue heard of many that are learned and particularly of Mounsieur the Cardinal of Perron that them selues are ignorant persons that they wil ouerthrow learning For the restoring whereof my Lord the said Cardinall hath a purpose to erect a new Colledge in the Vniuersitie where he will raise the study of good letters which are falne sith these men haue soyled them by reducing them vnto a miserable kinde of Schollerisme and making them to consist of slender obseruations which themselues haue gathered Yet this were but a small matter were it not that by bringing vp Schollers and making men learned they hereby graspe the State and goe about to bring Kings vnder a Tutorship and stirre vp people vnto sedition and if they were as ready to rise as these are busie to solicite them France by this had runne ouer with bloud and the death of the King had beene followed with massacres both of the one and of the other Religion for this was their hope in this cursed parricide from which if this blow cannot keepe them from falling they will easily finde the meanes to renew their party In the meane while let my Lords of the Councell and my Maisters of the Courts of Parliaments iudge whether with a good Conscience they can permit the hearing of confessions vnto them who haue sworne to reueale nothing though it necessarily concerne the preseruation of the King and whether it be not fit to force them from so damnable a doctrine that makes them culpable of high treason To what purpose serues it to burn a book by the executioner while the persons themselues are suffered and to execute a piece of paper while in the meane time a man dares not name the Iesuits for feare to offend them Let them consider whether they will be glad to see the ruine of the Vniuersitie of Paris which euer since Charles the great hath beene the Ornament of this Kingdome or whether in suffering the encrease of these and their establishment in the Court they can be content to hold the Kings faithfull
