preached against him openly in Spain yea one of their Faction proceeded publiquely to maintain that Homo non Christianus possit esse Romanus Pontifex which Tenet amongst them argued bitter spight and unchristian disdain against their acknowledged Head Watson quodl pag. 100. It is the worst thing in the world to serve a jealous Master for at one time or other his dissatisfaction though cover'd for a season will appear to the disgrace if not ruine of his servant Let the Provincial of the English Jesuits in the room of Mr. Whitebread apply this to himself and his Order they are not quite secure on the otherside the water Besides Beneficia cóusque grata dum exsolvi possunt as the Historian speaketh The extraordinary Merit which the Jesuits pretent to from his Holiness as voting themselves to be the Chief if not only supporters of the Papal Chair is but an upbraiding of him who sits therein especially in doubtful and suspicious times great deserts in some Circumstances render a man as obnoxious as the highest guilt some give an instance in Marshal Byron of France in the days of their Henry the fourth in the Duke of Buckingham in Richard the third's time and in the Old Earl of Essex in Queen Elizabeth's days here in England All which say they were deprest and broken under the weight of their merits to their respective Princes If benefits procure such requitals what shall injuries do For the Author of the Jesuits Catechisme Chap. 25. Book 3. says That the notorious interprize or usurpation of the General of the Jesuits over the Holy See is such that there is no new Sect which in time may be more prejudicial to it than this Arg. 2. It is ominous and fatal to break a setled Constitution on which an Order of Religion is grounded for the Original Sanction is as the sacred Bond or tye which keeps that Order together I will not trace the Conversation of the Jesuit throughout all his Vows but certainly in that of Poverty and of not intermedling in secular Affairs they have much deviated from their Primitive Institution and consequently have made forfeiture of their Interest in the Priviledges of that Sodality It is observed That the eldest Children of Parents are more strictly educated than those which are born in their riper years because then the severity of their Discipline melts into Lenity and their Love not guided by Reason turns to fondness The like probably may be affirmed of the first Institutors of this Order who perhaps were strict to their Rules but the declining therefrom of their posterity argues an old and doting Age in the Masters of that Family Now that those two Constitutions of theirs have been sufficiently broken small skil in History or in Conversation will demonstrate 1. Their VVealth amassed and that wrongfully too as some of their own say is a sufficient Argument how well their Vow of Poverty is observed for as the Prefacer to the Moral Practice of the Jesuites speaks There is not any Artifice Injustice or Violence they imploy not to enrich themselves by the spoils of all sorts of persons Secular and Religious Soveraign and private And while after Nothing escapes the claws of their Avarice 2. All England knows as well as other Countries how far they have complyed with that Rule of their own making That none of them should immix themselves with the Secular business of Princes for who greater Intermeddlers in State matters than they Hinc illae lachrymae Arg. 3. The Practices and Methods which the Jesuits have committed and used both here and in other Countries have been the overthrow of other Religious of their own Church and how then can they themselves expect better Quarter It is clearly prov'd against them here in England that they have endeavour'd to destroy His Majestie 's person by a violent death Now there was formerly an order of the Humiliati in the Roman Church and they had divers Convents spread over Italy they were to spend their time in strict Exercises of Piety and of selfe-abasements as the Jesuits pretend whence they had their Name But instead thereof growing loose and wanton and swerving from their first Austerity Cardinal Borrhomeo a grave Prelate undertook to be their Protector and Reformer both who entering upon his Office of Reformation did so curb their licentious Wickednesses that some of them conspired to take away his life which accordingly was attempted by them whiles he was at his Prayers by the discharge of a Pistol was not the like Method of Assassination designed against our King which by Gods providence did pierce his garments and not wound his Body to the hazard of his life This Fact did so inrage Pope Pius the fifth then sitting that he sent out a Bull for the utter extirpation of that whole Order notwithstanding the King of Spain's Intercession to the contrary Anno 1577. which Bull is recited verbatim in Toscanus his Book entituled Summa constitutionum rerum in Ecclesiâ Romana gestarum à Gregorio Nono usque ad Sixtum Quintum If an Attempt upon a single Cardinal can work the dissolution of an whole Order what shall those many Attempts upon several Princes do some having been actually murdered others designed to the slaughter by the Council and Contrivances of the Jesuits certainly their Case equals if not exceeds that of the Humiliati Wherefore let them look to themselves for when Christian Princes are incensed the storm must light somewhere and why not on the most guilty Neither can the Pope himself in such Circumstances secure their Interest no more then Paul the Fifth could prevail upon the Venetian to hinder their Non-exclusion from that City For to save himself and his Conclave he will doubtless sacrifice any particular Order of Religious whatsoever I know the Jesuit doth labour to elude that Instance by alleadging the disparity of Cases 1. Say they 't was not one or two single persons that conspired against Cardinal Barrhomeo but the whole Order of the Humiliati in general and therefore the Guilt being diffused over all the whole Sodalty was justly suppressed Answ They prevaricate in this Allegation for there were several Convents of that Order spread over Italy who cannot be presumed so much as to have known any thing of that particular Fact till after the Notoriety thereof by the Event So that it was the Attempt only of a few particular Members which redounded to the prejudice and overthrow of their whole Body for when the minds of Rulers are exasperated against any Society of men for the Enormities of some few of their number then that saying of Tacitus takes place Habet aliquid ex iniquo omne magnum exemplum quod in singulos utilitate publicâ rependitur Yet I am apt to think that if the whole Body of the Jesuites could be put to the Test there are very few of them of any consideration which did not know and approve the late Bloody Designs against
