had any Church I alleg'd these things in imitation of that pious Father who living three hundred years before Constantine nevertheless is so prudent as to call Byzantium Constantiople to the end ye may not laugh at the letter which wrote to the Virgin Mary and that other which J. C. wrote to the three honest Catholics under the Cross at Azè in Poictou op'nly read by the Curates of the Parishes But not to injure the Chapter of Miracles and to shew you that I was not converted out of Ignorance I have read almost all Bellarmin and I took great care being resolv'd upon my Conversion not to meddle with Whitaker Lambert or Reynolds I have read the Declamations and Fictions of Campanus where I saw so many Martyrs of the new Catholic Church 'T is the best way to read that book without examination I did more for I stop'd my Eares against a Heretic that would have made me believe all those Martyrs to be lyes and fables alleging that there were two Characters of Martyrdom the one that it must be purely for Religion and the other that it be at the Parties own choice whether he will live or dye I began to swear that the Queen of Scot's was a true Martyr Oh said the Heretic what a miserable Religion is yours that hath no Martyr purer then a Homicide nor any more chast then a Strumpet I could have found i' my heart to have bang'd him but he was a man of the Sword I have read the Amorous Sermons of M. S. Panigarole but cannot find what the Heretics report of his Catamit As to his Mistress indeed ye say something for whose sake he begins one of his Sermons thus 'T is for you fair one that I dye Nor can I find fault with his Complement for presently after he added said Christ to his Church He was a bold Preacher yet not so bold neither but that I have read in some of his Sermons preach'd at Turin that although the Saints were Canoniz'd he did not beleive them all to be in Paradise A wary man not to be a general voucher for every body I have read the Thundring Sermons of the Bishop of Bizonte which hard'nd my heart for the Massacre at hand Whoever read a more substantial Clause then this Che la crudelta loro era pietosa That their Cruelty was Mercy I have read the writings of Reboul who has told tales out of School because he had bin whip'd there That book will serve excellently well for a Farce after those Tragedies which afflict the squeamish raw Conscience of a Convert newly gall'd with his Conversion I have read Dr. Boulanger who has written like a Devil all ran dan and without premeditation they that will not believe me may beleive their own eyes He is better skill'd in Logic now then when he disputed at Miot and had he now to do with that blind zealot he would conundrum him in another manner then he did For he has answer'd the Preface of Duplessis at least he gives him good words being resolv'd like the chief Captains of the holy Party to observe this maxim That in great undertakings 't is enough to shew a good intention In the same manner I could not forbear laughing when I read the I'ambonicum of Michau against him 'T is well known that the Sorbon has forbid him to write upon a Letter of M. Confessour But in the reply of Michau I blame him for saying That the Boulangers are of Troye in Champagne He was ignorant that they came from Lyons where they could not stay as being too near Provence where they had seen M. Auguste upon the Scaffold or upon the Ladder I read the beginning of Doxemel but he put me out of humour At first I was pleased with young Sponde's manner of arguing for we have a young Sponde as well as a young Nostredamus They say the Widow wrote it which causes many to admire because it was verily thought that she had made all public before I have not spoken at all concerning the Treatises of the Husband because the first disgrace the later which do not seem to be made with so good a will nor in so good an humour as the first Those are full of discourse enliv'nd only by pomp of words the first moving and persuasive ad fidem faciendam But the young man treating of consecrated Church-yards draws from the sum of his discourse this consequential Argument The Jews were very curious in reference to their Sepulchers The Turks account their Sepulchers Holy and go in Pilgrimage to Mecca The Pagans erected lofty Pyramids canoniz'd their dead and ordain'd them Supplications Ergo The Christians ought to do the like in imitation of the Jews Turks and Pagans But not to bereave any person of the honour which is due to him we are well assur'd that this was the off-spring of M. Raymund's brain or rather of his Host who is also reported to have made the preliminary Epistle to Richeome Let it be as it will both together have taught me very fine fancies First that it is a duty to carry the Pope upon our Shoulders Thus the Pagans exalted their Druids and Vestals The Romans were carry'd by their Slaves in Litters The Chineses in Tunquin carry their Religious Orders a Cock loft in the same manner and the Country people in Xantoigne upon their wedding days are hoisted after the same fashion as it is also the Custom in Lorrain Ergo We are to carry the Pope Cardinals and Bishops upon our Shoulders to shew our selves Pagans like the Chineses or Slaves as among the Romans or else in imitation of the Courtly fashion of the Country Bumpkins of Xantoigne and Lorrain The same Author tells That Madam Simonite he meant Sunamite kiss'd Elisha's feet Ergo all Kings who are Simonites ought to kiss the Pope's feet This Monsieur Raymund and his Companions speak very well to the Huguenots and their printed Complaints by declaring to them that they do not complain without a cause For as Raymund says to Rabesne contentiously wrangling to make a Huguenot Lady lose the Guardianship of her Children The Laws are not to be observ'd according to humour or to please proscrib'd persons and afterwards solliciting to have a Huguenot put to death for a Murder which a pious Catholic had committed we need not make any scruple to destroy the Estates of those whose lives are under Condemnation or to cut off particular Members where the Body is under the general attainder of the Church I have also read a book much after the same rate and which I believe to be a chip of the same block mainly endeavouring to extirpate the memory of Papes's Joan. And to shew you that I have studi'd and that I keep a Correspondence with the Learned I have sent him an Epigram upon this subject which begins Foemina quod mentita virum to which I expect his answer CHAP. VII Of the Arrogance of the Huguenots IF
