have pronounced judgment against Jansenius and against Luther non hanno Sdegnato di procacciar l'esterna luce dello Spirito Sancto à se stessi pe● le valigie de' corrieri And for upholding this prerogative of infallibility I doe also pray God that after the Example of your Holinesses life He would make an extension and widening of this Spirit of religions and carnal Policy in the Soul of your Successours who may keep up perpetually upon the Holy See in their persons as in yours a living Book and a living Apology of the Soveraign Pontificat and of its rights such as this same Policy that 's the Queen of vertues hath fixed and so to be able if not to convert yet at least to confound all those who would be Rebells l. 24. c. ult Non cessero di pregar la divina bontà che nella simigliante distesa dal suo esempio ne ' successori tenga sempre nel Vaticano un libro vivo e una viva apologia del Pontificato la quale vaglia se non à convertire al meno à confondere i suoi ribelli These are the last words of our Cardinal's book which make it appear that he believed even unto the last that the Spirit of Saint Peter reigned in all the Conduct and Policy of Pope Alexander VII preghino Iddio che faccia vivere stabilmente com' oggi vive lo Spirito di san ' Pietro ne successori He hath assever'd it so strongly that he would not lye that he is by no means to be suspected not so much as of the least wilfull flattery From whence it remains then to be concluded that for to comprehend well according to him what was the Council of Trents Policy in all its orders made for reformation of manners and which Policy ought to be the Churches to be in her perfection Those which have seen with their eyes the Reign of Pope Alexander VII and the carriage of Cardinal Chigi his principal Nephew Legat à Latere in France have no more to doe but to call them to mind there they will see as in a living book all the rules of the carnal and religious Policy writ in letters of Gold that is to say in the characters of works and practice which are as saith the Cardinal moralities gold in comparison whereof words are but chaff l. 6. c. 7. le parole esser paglia i fetti esser oro In the life of this same Pope a man shall see a King all-puissant in his shop or office of Dispensations sopra la bottega dalle dispensazioni granting them as he pleased and even derogating from the Canons and it will be plain that in not observing or obeying the Council of Trent it was the more perfectly observed because that the all-puissantness of the Soveraign Pontife is set forth the better thereby which the Council allwaies adored A man sees that this way the Gospel of the flesh receives every day more and more propagation and growth by telling aloud abroad to the most imperfect this good news That they have an easy and certain means to be happy according to the flesh in this World and in t'other and that through the benefit of this new Gospel the Council of Trent hath done the Church more good then the Heresy of Luther hath diminished it or done it Mischief maggior accrescimento di bontà per mezzo del Concilio che non fù scemato dall'istessa eresia This shall serve henceforward as the Cardinal promises for an invincible defence of the Catholick Religion against Hereticks Infidels or Atheists which shall be so rash as to write against it This will be henceforward an Apology without reply for the Council of Trent it self since the French and the Hereticks having first said that the Holy Ghost was carried thither from Rome in a Cloke-bag they have confessed by jeering that he presi●ed there For after the subtility wherewith our Cardinal explains seriously this wicked raillery and makes a Scholastick interpretation thereof proving the assistance of the Holy Ghost at the Council one needs not be an Eagle to stare out the truth of it even a mole it self either may see it or smell it out non si richiede esser Aquila basta non esser talpa Herein also most manifestly appears the infinite usefulness of School divinity the incomparable fruit that our Cardinal hath gathered having been a Master so long therein as well as in Philosophy according to Aristotle's principles that the Heriticks cannot frame any conceit how ridiculous soever it be but that this Cardinal's Subtility meditating a little profoundly thereupon can give as serious and as surprising an interpretation thereof by force of his good sence and reasons far fetch 't as the hereticks thought to make use of to surprise simple folk with by their wicked raillerie So after two Tomes of his History of the Council of Trent in folio and the vast labour wherewith he composed the whole Body of carnal and religious Policy he concludes gravely in a confident tone that he which is not content with the government of the Church such as he hath told you it is and hath made it appear to be in the Carnal and Religious Policy of Alexander VII and his Nephew Cardinal Chigi and that is not content with the Spirit of St. Peter as it appeared in our days living in that Pope and in that his principal Nephew can be no other but a Fool or a Cheat chi per approvare una forma di Republica non si contenta di questo governo presente ò è insano ò è seductore FINIS
Statutes In fine what then is the last Expedient but that all not being able to goe to Rome to take in the Politick spirit there Means should be found out to make it come from Rome and disperse it over the world 'T was said 100 years agoe that the Holy Ghost was brought from Rome to the Council of Trent in a Clokebag l. 16. c. 10. la Spirito Sancto veniva portato nella valigia This proposition appeared injurious to the Holy Ghost to the Pope and to the Council yet our Cardinal Historian expounds it learnedly and makes it out how it is conformable even to the Doctrine of S. Augustin and that Pope Innocent X in effect to condemn Jansenius thought it not unfit to order the exteriour light of the Holy Ghost to be brought in a Clokebag to Rome from all Quarters of the Church which he consulted Leo X did the same when he condemned the heresy of Luther Ibid. non hanno s'degnato di procaciar l'esterna luce dello Spirito Sancto à se stessi per le vaglie de' corrieri avauci di condannar le opinioni è di Lutero e di Jansenio Now the exteriour light is alwaies accompanied with the interiour which is the Soul thereof and which is that wich is called sufficient Grace to know the Truth and to follow it which is not wanting to any one So that which is called sufficient grace to condemn Jansenius was brought in some sort in a Clokebag to Pope Innocent X as one may say that the Horse that carries the Body of a living man carries also his Soul otherwise sufficient grace might fail those which doe all their endeavour to know the Truth and condemn Heresy and they would condemn it blindfold Ibid. alla cieca as our Cardinal speaks There be none then but Ideots which will let themselves be scared with this Vizard of a Proverb that the Holy Ghost was carried in a Clokebag for there 's nothing more exactly true according to School Divinity and look you now the Vizard is for ever taking off which Scared Ideots l. 16. c. 10. Ecco dilegnate quelle vanissime larve discoucia apparenza che agli occhi degli Idioti potea recar una cal forma di proverbiare lo Spirito Sancto veniva portato nella valigia It being thus may not one say that the most puissant and yet the most sweet and gentle means to uphold the Universal Monarchy the Royalty and absolute Empire of the Pope over all the World which is the Fundamental Point of all the Christian Policy is to make come from Rome in a Cloak-bag the spirit of this Policy into all Quarters of the World There remains onely the nameing and chusing of the Couriers to goe along with the Males or Clokebags 1. The Religious whose Generals reside not at Rome are not fit for it 2. The Religious which doe not teach youth are unfit for it too for this Spirit must begin to be administred in tender years 3. There 's none but the Jesuites to whom this Employ can reasonably be given For 1. If to this end there need no more but to be Masters in this Policy by our Cardinal Historians Example who is of their Society it appears that they talk as if they were the Authors thereof 2. If for it there needs zeal for the Holy See there 's no body able to dispute with them that their advantage for all this Father Jesuite and Cardinal's book is full of protestations upon that Subject 3. If there onely needs testimonials of Nuncio's and Ambassadours see those of the Nuncio Commendon and of the Comte of Lune related by this our Cardinal l. 20. c. 4. 11. io per certo non hò ritrovato nelle chiese di Germania più fermo ne maggior prefidio della religione che ì Collegii dì costoro l. 15. c. 7. così piacesse à Dio che se ne fossero molti l. 20. c. 4. Onde non è dubio che quando si facessero molti collegii se ne caverebbe fructo incredibile But above all the Testimony of Pope Pius IV and that of S. Charles Borromeo are of extreme advantage for them They are related by this Cardinal in his XXIV Book chapter 6 where their Society is called Religion it self and their institution Pious Religione e l'istituto pio Now their institution is particularly destinated by their founder St. Ignatius to serve in the Missions l. 4. c. 11. istituita per sine speciale delle Missioni and 't is for this same subject that they have shunned giving to themselves any of the names which the other Monastick orders take as Father Guardians Correctours Wardens Discrets and even shunning the names of Covents Dortoirs Chapters yea and even the habits themselves though venerable elsewhere because those other sorts of habits were not very commodious to carry the Cloakbag in the Missions l. 4 c. 11. hebbesi risguardo d'astenersi dalle appellazioni e delle vesti di frate benche per altro venerabili e Sacrosante So that t is manifest that there 's nothing more important for the felicity of the Pope and the Roman Court according to the flesh secundo la carne then the establishment of Jesuites the World throughout giving them power to set up every where the Sacred Tribunal of the Inquisition for setting up whereof Pope Pius IV hath merited quoth our Cardinal l. 14. c. 9. a Praise which will be Eternal d'eterna lode lo fà degno il tribunal dell'inquisizione che dal zelo di lui riconosce il presente suo vigor nel l'Italia e dal quale l'Italia riconosce la conservata Integrità della sua fede Because it is to the Inquisition according to our Cardinal that Italy and Spain are indebted for retaining the Faith among them as to those Articles thereof which have no nearer nor immediater certainty then onely the Popes authority l. 3. c. 15. quella religione i cui articoli unitamente confiderati non hanno altra certezza prossima ed immediata che l'autorità del Pontefice CHAP. VI. Here be related the Interests and different sentiments of the Catholick Christian Crowns and Republicks according as they are more less favourable to this same Religious Policy according to the flesh And t is made appear that there 's none more opposite then those of the Crown and of the Church of France which proposed no less at the Council of Trent then to throw down the Churches Monarchy and Empire and to take away the Splendour of the Court of Rome ARTICLE I. The Estates whose Politick Maxims are favourable or opposite to this same Roman Policy OF all th Parts of Europe which have remained in the Popes Communion there appears none more considerable then Italy Germany Spain and France To know which are the States whose Politick maximes are more or less favourable to the Roman Policy
