Pope their popish faction From which and all treasonable practises good Lord deliuer vs Amen A profitable and compendious appendice for the better confirmation of the Reader VVHosoeuer can and will seriously peruse the printed volumes of many famous writers of great account and high estéeme euen in the Church of Rome cannot but behold as in a glasse of Christall that the late Romish religion commonly called of the people the olde religion is but a newly coyned religion and by piece-meale crept into the Church I say the late Romish religion because the ancient Roman religion was in déed sincere and agréeable to the holy scripture but the late Romish religion is quite contrary to the same This I proue by two means first by late practicall experience for that the institution or papall Bull by which an Arch-priest is designed the gouernour ouer the Cleargie and laitie ouer all England is a thing neuer hard of before in the Church of God as the priests themselues do willingly truly grant this is confirmed by the late order of the Capuchenes who affirme theÌ„selues to be nothing else but only reformed Franciscans as the secular priests doe know and can it not denie For as the Francans did by little and little neglect and abolish the ancient rules of their order and brought into their societie nouelties and new deuises in stead therof and therefore were reformed by the Capuchenes and called home again to their old setled rules euen so the late bishops of Rome haue neglected and swarued from the ancient doctrine of the primitiue Church and brought into the Church nouelties new deuises of their owne inuention in stead thereof and therfore godly and zealous princes endeuour to reforme the Church and to abolish such superstitious nouelties after the examples of Iosaphat Ezechias and other godly kings of Iuda Wherof I haue discoursed more at large in my booke intituled the golden ballance Secondly by the flat testimonies of best approued popish writers The great learned popish scholeman Spanish fryer Victoria writetth in this maner paulatim ad hanc c. By little little we are brought to these inordinate dispensations to this so miserable state where we are neither able to endure our owne griefs nor remedie assigned for the same And therefore must we perforce inuent some other way for conseruation of the lawes Giue me Clements Lines Siluesters and I will commit all things to their charge But to speake nothing grieuously against these latter Popes they are doubtles inferiour to Popes of old time by many degrées Loe heere gentle reader the Popes owne renowned doctor and professed frier telleth vs plainly that the bishops of Rome in his time were not like the bishops of â—oâ—â—er ages but did degenerate from the ancient doctrine and discipline of the Church He telleth vs in like manner that this deflection from the truth was not done all at once but was brought by little and little into the Church Thus you see or may see that the doctrine I teach is the selfesame which I receiued from the best learned papists The Popes famous Canonist Covaruvias writeth to the same effect in these words neâ— me latet c. neither am I ignorant that S. Thomas affirmeth after great deliberation that the bishop of Rome cannot with his dispensation take away from monks their solemne vow of chastitie This notwithstanding we must defend the first opinion least those things which are practised euery where be turned vp side downe Thus writeth Coueruvias out of whose doctrine many godly profitable lessons may be learned First that the papists cannot agree about the Popes authority Secondly that great learned papists among whom Thomas Aquinas is one whose doctrine sundry Popes haue confirmed to be sound do denie the Popes authoritie in the premisses Thirdly that the contrarie opinioÌ„ must be defended for the honesty safegard of the Popes pretensed soueraigntie Fourthly that most miserable is the Popes religion which stand in need of such poore and beggerly shifts for the vpholding maintenance therof Fiftly that the papists haue no cause to exclaime against the mariage of priests seeing the Pope dispenseth with his owne munks to marry at their pleasure Sixtly that the doctrine of Aquinas which the Pope himselfe hath approued doth vtterly ruinate and batter to the ground the lately inuested religion of the Church of Rome Now for the better satisfaction of the ignorant I will heere briefely recount the originall of the chiefest points and articles in the late Romish religion First the Church-seruice was made in the vulgar tongue euery where in the old ancient and primitiue Church Secondly popish primacie began in the yeare 607. and that by the tyrannie of the Emperour Phocas at the earnest suit of Boniface then bishop of Rome third of that name Thirdly the Popes pardons were neuer heard of vntill the yeare 1300. Fourthly the mariage of priests was not prohibited till the yeare 385. at which time Siritius then bishop of Rome made a wicked law in that behalfe Fiftly popish â—urgatory tooke not root in the Romish Church till the yeare 250. Sixtly popish pilgrimage began in the yeare 420. SeueÌ„thly the merit of works de condigno was disputable about the yeare 1081.

Of the cause of the discouerie of the Iesuiticall treasons Now of late God hath most strangely in very déede as it may be termed miraculously reuealed the truth which long hath béene hidden These words are set downe quodl 8. art 9. p. 267. Note heere gentle reader that God for his owne glorie for the preseruatioÌ„ of his faithfull seruant our gratious soueraigne and for the common good of our natiue countrie hath miraculously contrarie to the expectation of man caused the secular priests to discouer the longe hidden treasons contriued and disloyally practised both by the Iesuites and themselues The fourth Booke containing a sparing postpast prouided by the Seculars for the Iesuites in regard of the delicate and sumptuous Antepast bestowed on their messengers at Rome AFter I had accomplished the three bookes aforegoing I had a sight of a Iesuiticall booke itituled a briefe apologie which in pervse I found not only to confirme the treasonable complots and bloudy practises heretofore intended against her maiesty and this our natiue contry but with all to sound out alarum to most cruell and vnnaturall rebellion in time to come and consequeÌ„tly I haue thought it my parte and bounden dutie to vse my penne for the confutation and confusion of such vnchristian villany CHAP. I. Of the Author of this seditious apologie ALthough by the inscription of this libell some Iesuited priestes should bee the authors thereof yet doe I verely thinke that the traytorous Iesuite Parsons did compile the same For first if the stile and methode bee conferred with his other bookes they will séeme to bee of one and the same moulde Secondly the author thereof speaketh of himselfe in the singular number so as the words can no way be applyed vnto many Thirdly the author of this disloyall pamphlet speakethâ— scornâ—fully and dishonourablie of her Maiestie and o others in authoritie vnder her which is the proper badge of that foule-mouthed wretch For to say nothinge of manie other places when hee hath told vs some parte of Maister Bluets letter to his fellow maister Mush in these wordes I haue by opening the cause vnto there honours and to Cesar obtained c. Hee putteth downe in the margent these wordes the Queene after a sorte As if hee had said shee is depriued by the Popes Bull and is not Queene indéede but by bare name only And the very reuerend prelate Maister Doctor Bancroft hee termeth the false bishoppe of London And yet this good fellowe is grieuously offended that the seculars doe not tearme the Arch-priest Blackewell by the name of Reuerendissimus the most reuerent Father Fourthly they that would seeme to bee the authors of this libell confesse fréely and plainly that Parsons himselfe did diligently enforme them how and in what sorte they should write And consequently he was the architect indeede howsoeuer others haue the name But euery wiseman will thinke that seeing Parsons is the partie accused if his owne conscience had not condemned him in the aunswere hee would haue put his owne name to the Apologie Well the answeare is so badde the author may not be knowen See more heereof in the fourth chapter CHAP. II. Of the cruell proceeding against the messengers sent to Rome MAster Charnocke and master Bishop two of the secular priests who had traueiled many yeares in the Popes affayres here in England being vniustly molested by the tyrannizing Iesuites did with the consent and counsell of many other priests vered by the Iesuites as themselues take a long and painefull iourney to Rome to desire some mitigation of his holinesse in that behalfe But God thanke you Parsons by the helpe of their Iesuites made such an heynous complaint to the pope against the said messengers that the prison was made readie for them before they came to Rome Yea at their comming they were imprisoned indeed neither to this day could they be permitted to come to the Pope And which is more they were inioyned at their going out of prison to remaine in exile the one in Paris the other in Lozaine and not to returne into England without speciall licence of his holines or of the protector his deputie Which cruell decree they were compelled to confirme with a corporall oath Heereupon the other priests exclayme and crie out O miserable times O wicked maners of men that their two messengers should so be handled as to be put in prison before they could be heard page 192. Master Collington saith that they were kept in prison till Parsons had made all sure by getting forth a Breue for confirmation of his plotted authoritie page 208. Now what doth Parsons answere in defence of his intolerable tyrannie you shall heare the expresse words of the Apologie in the next chapter CHAP. III. Of Parsons his answere for the punishment of the messengers THey say that Cardinall Bellarmine his letter to father Parsons from Ferrara a lttle before their arriuall doth proue that the imprisonment of their messengers was procured by Parsons for that the said Cardinall wrote that the two English priests were not yet come but should be imprisoned when they came nor that it should be needfull for Parsons to flie or make haste to Ferrara for that cause And then the priests crie out O tempora O mores that their two messengers should so be handled as to be put in prison before they were head But God be thanked that worthy Cardinall is yet aliue and can testifie all this to be their fiction and that his holines being aduertised in Ferrara from his Nuncioes in Fraunce and Flaunders of these mens comming was offended at their new stirring and willed the said father to write to Rome to father Parsons so be enâ—ormed of them and their pretenses before euer father Parsons had written or spoken word thereof as the said Cardinall will beare witnesse And as for the least clause of his letter whereby he should write that Parsons needeth not to slie or make haste to Ferrara it is added and forged by themselues and no one such word in the letter These are the expresse words of the Apologie in which all is saide for the Iesuite Parsons that himselfe possibly could deuise for his owne defence For eyther he was the man that penned the Apologie or at least the man that diligently instructed him who penned it as is alreadie proued Marke then the due examination thereof Out of these words of the Apologie we must obserue first that the Iesuite Bellarmine now Cardinal wrote from Ferrara to Parsons at Rome telling him that the priestes were not yet come thither Secondly that the Cardinals letter was written before the priests came eyther to Rome or to Ferrara whither it was thought they would come because

Magna est veritas praeualet is this day verified God be blessed for it euen in the publike writings of the Iesuites against the secular priests their owne deare Popish brethren And reciprocally of the secular priestes against the Iesuites their religious fathers and holy fryers The deepe and serious consideration whereof hath possessed mine heart with such vnspeakable solace as I can not easily with penne and ynke expresse the same Such is the force of truth my good Lord that it hath enforced the professed enemies of truth a thing verie rare and to be admired to testifie the truth against themselues and to publish the same in printed books to the view of the whole world God say the popish priests hath most straungely and in verie deed as it may be termed miraculously reuealed the truth which long hath beene hidden Thus them selues write of themselues Hence proceedeth that rare conceiued ioy which hath enuironed me on euerie side And which I am well assured cannot but bring great contentment to your Lordship and to all true hearted English subiects For as the Apostle saith Some preach Christ through enuie and strife and some of good will The one sort preacheth Christ of contention and not purely but the others preach him of loue What then yet Christ is preached all manner waies whether it be vnder pretence or syncerely and I therein ioy yea and will ioy Thus wrteth the chosen vessell of our Lord Iesus The Iesuites puffed vp with enuie and malice against the secular priests doe vnwittingly and vnwillingly bolt out many important truthes not onely against themselues and to their owne great preiudice but also to the euerlasting scandall and vtter ruine of theit patched hotch-potch late Romish religion The Secular priests turmoyled with the vniust vexations of the cruell Iesuites seeke by all aswell indirect as direct meanes to redeeeme their iniust molestations and to defend themselues from their villanous and diabolicall dealing The while they are thus busied they cannot inuent or deuise how to find out any end of their miseries but by laying open to the world the badde and irreligious conuersation of the Iesuites and by imputing to them those disloyall treacheries and most bloodie complots wherewith their owne hearts and hands had sometime beene imbrewed And consequently while they are encombred to disgrace and gall the malepeart and trayterous Iesuites they doe vnawares grieuously wound themselues euen with their owne chosen weapons They freely grant and can it not denie that all papists were kindly dealt withall vntill such time as themselues gaue iust cause by their disloyall plots and bloudie practises against her Maiestie of greater restraint and sharper proceeding against them For first they grant that the Earles of Northūberland Westmerlād with their adherēts were rebels their insurrectiō flat treasō that the pope ioyned with thē that he excōmunicated her Maiestie that he assoyled her subiects from their allegeance to her that he sent two popish priests Morton and VVebbe my selfe knew them both right well to bring the excommunication into England which they effected accordingly that the Pope assigned the Duke of Norfolke to be the head of the rebellion that he gaue order to Ridolphi the Florentine to take 150000 crownes to set forwarde the saide rebellion That the King of Spaine at the Popes instance determined to send the Duke of Alua into England that with all his forces he might assist the Duke of Norfolke Secondly they grant that the pope plotted with Stuckeley Fitzmo rize and others both English Irish and Italian my selfe was euen then in Rome for enterprise by force into Ireland vnder pretence of religion to further which cruell attempt Sanders did afterward thrust himselfe personally into the like action Thirdly they confesse that Parsons Campian Sherwin and others were sent disloyally into this land from pope Gregory the 13. my selfe was then in Rome and that Parsons presently vpon their arriuall fell to his trayterous Iesuiticall courses and bestirred himselfe with tooth and naile how he might set her maiesties crowne vpon an others heade Fourthly they confesse that the Iesuite Heywood was sent into Englād from the Pope that he tooke vpon him to call a synode and to abrogate auncient customes to the great scandall of many Fiftly they confesse that the Pope plotted with the King of Spaine for the assistance of the Duke of Guise to enter vpon the sodaine and to aduance the Queene of Scotland to the crowne of England For the better effecting whereof Mendoza a Iesuite as they write then ledger in this land for the king of Spaine set on worke Frances Throcmorton and many others They adde there vnto that about the same time Arden and Somervile had conspired how they might lay violent hands vpon her Maiesties sacred person Sixtly they write that about the same time Parrie was also plotting with the Iesuites beyond the sea how he might haue effected the like villanie Seuenthly they confesse freely that the earle of Northumberland was drawne into the plot of the Duke of Guise and that Parsons the bloudie Iesuite was him selfe an actor therein Eightly they write plainely that Babington and his complices committed such notorious treason against her maiestie as it was shameles boldnesse to deny or qualifie the same Ninthly they confesse roundly that Sir William Stanley committed notable treacherie falsified his faith to her maiesty Tenthly they write plainly that in the yeare 1588. the King of Spaine made a most cruell bloudie attempt not only against her Maiesty to vse the priests-words and their commō enemies but also against themselues all catholikes and their owne natiue countrey The memorie of which attempt as the priests write will be an euerlasting monument of Iesuiticall treason and brutish crueltie Eleuenthly they grant that Richard Hesket was set on by the Iesuites in the yeere 1592. or their abouts to haue stirred vp the Earle of Darbye to rebell against her maiestie Where I may not omit to deliuer mine owne knowledge in this behalfe This Hesket I knew very well in his life conuersation and

Sect. III. Of Parsons impudencie and other his bad qualities manifold I will say he is impudent and hath a face of brasse and is as shamelesse as father Pâ—rsons who will affirme or denie any thing For my selfe haue hard the foresaid irreuerent speeches from some of their owne mouthes these words are set downe in the reply to Parsons libell fol. 21. a. 22. Againe in an other place viz. fol. 10. a. 16. Thus they are so apparantly and inuincibly confuted as that I admire much at the mans brasen forehead that he durst so palpablie laye open his follies if not his malice But this is but an ordinarie tricke with Parsons and his complices that euerie man be he neuer so honest if he once speake against a Iesuite must bee esteemed a bad man and a suspected companion marrie if hee runne a longe with them in their courses let him be neuer so lewde a varlet he shall be reputed for most honest Witnesse this Tomson Coulfon Tunsteed and many others of that rable which I could name These words are set downe in the reply to Parsons libell fol. 11. a 19. Beleeue me when I read this I was amazed with wondering at this mans brasen visage he speaketh of Parsons that holy Iesuite Neuer did I in my life I protest reade or heare so notorious wickednesse and iniustice so impudently recounted for iust Iesu whither will this man goe or what will he not iustifie and commend Doth not all our little world know that the erecting of the Arch. priest was the cause of all our dissentions How then was he procured at our owne petition did not M. Standish most falsely by his meanes suggest vnto the Pope in our names a desire of such a thing we neuer dreaming thereof did any one priest in England send his hand or consent with Maister Standish to sollicite any such matter Were not the Iesuites constrained cunningly to extort ratihabitions from the priestes themselues by subscriptions vnto a congratulatorie letter after that they had by forgerie erected him and saw him impugned Diabolus est mendax pater eius God send father Parsons more shame more honestie and more truth I wonder not now at any thing he saith for I well see he hath wholy giuen himselfe ouer to the trade of fittening with which it séemeth he hath made sale of his conscience These words are set downe in the reply to Parsons libell fol 57. a. And in an other place viz. fol. 53. b. Thus but father Parsons will neuer leaue his old trickes of iugling In an other place viz. fol. 75. b. Thus neither were their wits so weake as not able to sée father Parsons cunning ayme therein Though like a Gipsey he play at fast and loose yet men that are acquainted with his olde trickes can gesse at his newe fetches The complement of this chapter As for Don Bernardino Mendoza it is knowne that he was wholy affectionate to the Iesuites and it is but an ordinarie course with the Iesuites to bind both noble men noble women others also vnto them by vow and yet leauing them in the world to be their instruments of which kind in both sexes I could name some in our owne country and therefore it is no strange thing to charge the Iesuites to haue men in the world abroad that are theirs and bound to them in vow and therefore may be termed Iesuites for what doth incorporate into a religious bodie but the vowes thereof amongst which obedience is the chiefest These words are set downe in the reply to Parsons libell fol. 47. a. 23. Note here gentle reader what a cursed crewe of disloyall caterpillers these Iesuites be they are not onely ranke traytors as you haue hard at large but so full of cozonage and hypocriticall dealing in their pestilent sect that no man can tell when he talketh or conueâ—seth with a Iesuite for they are both Friars and Nunnes both men and women and liue in the world to set forward Iesuiticall plots and treasonable practises as if they were lay-people The like was neuer heard of in the world it is a new no religion it is a folly of all follies Friers are become Nunnes Nunnes are Friers all are iumbled vp together They may dilate and inlarge their hypocriticall sect by a most execrable and sacrilegious propagâ—tion For Friers may begette Friers and Iesuiticall Nunnes may be their mothers Well it is expedient to know these holy secular Friers as also the religious contemplatiue Nunnes For secret traytors are most daungerous and not to be tolerated in a well managed common weale Now these gallants these Friers and these Nunnes are knowne to the secular priests as heere you see againe they are arrant traytors as the said priests confesse Thirdly the said priests as themselues haue voluntarily graunted are bound in conscience to discouer them Let wise magistrates remember these points and thinke vpon the execution Let them not forget that both secret friers and secret Nunnes are in this Realme and that not base Friers and base Nunnes but nobles of the best families noble men and noble women if this geare and this treacherous dealing be permitted a while welladay and welladay may be Englands song night and day for the Priests themselues heere tell vs that these noble Friers and these noble Nunnes are permitted by the Iesuites to liue as lay-persons in the worlde that so they may the better bee able to effecte their treacherous and bloudie practises euerie where Chap.

ad credendum alâ—â—quin staret in casu quod qui obligaretur ad contradictoria vel ad falsum contra fidem Out of this roote is concluded a double truth First that the resolution or determination of the pope alone in things belonging to faith as it is precisely such not confirmed by a generall counsell doth not tie or bind a man to beleeue it For other wise the case might so fall out that one should be bound eyther to beleeue contradictories or else falshoode against his faith The said Gerson after he hath in the same place by me quoted in the margent delated at large that the Popes erroneous doctrine must be controlled by a generall councell addeth these expresse words Cui legi haud dubie subest papa licet hactenus multis haec veritas non placeret propter inordinatuÌ„ fauorem ad summum pontificem vel scripta sua male suscepta plus quam ad ChristiÌ„ Euangelia Nunc auteÌ„ opposita falsitas est haeresis expresse damnata per concilium Constantiense cum alijs multis in vtilitatem totius politiae Christianae To which law the pope doubtlesse is subject although hitherto this truth did not please a great many by reason of their inordinate affection to the pope more then to Christ and his gospell But now the opposite falshood is an hereâ—ie slatly condemned by the counsell of Constance together with many other things for the good of all Christian pollicie The second place is conteyned in these words Concilium generale sic est supra papam alium quemlibet de ecelesia quod ipsum papam potest deponere pro quocunque crimine de quo notorie incorrigibiliter scandalizatur ecclesia Hoe est practicatum dudum de papa Ioh. 12. nunc de Ioh. 23.

Long sythence and now vpon Iohn the 23. of that name in whose deiection it is not inserted that he was an heretike or had swarued from the faith The third place is conteyned in these words Concilium generale potest eum quem reputat summum pontificem nedum consultiue inducerè sed authoritatiuè compellere ad offerendum viam cessionis vel ad cedendum papatui etiam sine culpa licet non sua sine causa A generall councell may not onely by way of councell induce him whom it reputeth to be the lawfull Pope but also by way of authoritie compell him to offer to giue place or to depart from the Popedome in verie deed yea without his owne fault though not without a cause The fourth place is conteyned in these words Status papalis non eximit papam à legibus purè diuinis quae vel in euangelijs vel generalibus concilijs positae sunt Et ex hoc consequeÌ„ter patet quod papa subijcitur legi de correctione fraterterna Si peccauerit in te frater tuus c. Sic quod potest fraternaliter corripi dum peccat Et si tandem nolet audire ecclesiam quam generale concilium representat debet haberi sicut ethuâ—â—us publicanus Et ita potest hoc modo per concilium vel iudicari vel coerceri vel pro excommunicato haberi The Popes estate doth not exempt the Pope from the pure diuine lawes which are set downe eyther in the gospels or in generall councels And hereupon it is cleare consequently that the Pope is subiect to that law of fraternall correction if thy brother offend against the c. So that he may be reproued brotherly when he sinneth And if at length he will not heare the Church which a generall councell doth represent he must be reputed as an Ethnicke and Publican And so he may this way by a councell either be iudged or corrected or reputed an excommunicate person The fift place is conteyned in these words Ecclesia vel generale concilium potuit potest congregari sine expresso consensu vel mandato papae etiam rite electi viuentis in multis casibus The Church or generall councell both might and may be called together without the expresse consent or mandate of the pope euen when the pope is lawfully elected and liuing and that in many cases Againe the same Doctor hath these words Ecclesia vel generale conciliuÌ„ eam representans est regula a spiritu sancto directa tradita à Christo vt quilibet cuiuscunque status etiam papalis existat eam audire ac eidem obedire teneatur lioquin habendus est vt ethnicus publicanus The Church or generall councell representing it is a rule directed of the holy Ghost and giuen vs of Christ that euerie one of what state soeuer euen papall must heare and obey the same or else he must be reputed as an ethnick and publican The sixt place is conteyned in these words Concilium generale potestatem a Christo immediatè habet cui quilibet cuiuscunque status vel dignitatis etiamsi papalis existat obedire tenetur in his quae pertinent ad fidem extirpationem schismatis ac generalem reformationem ecclesiae dei in capite in membris A generall councell hath power from Christ immediately to which euerie one of what state or dignitie soeuer he be yea the pope himselfe is bound to yeeld obedience in those things which pertayne to faith and extirpation of schisme and the generall reformation of the Church of God in the head and in the members The seuenth place is conteyned in these words Iohannes papa non est accusatus vel conuictus de haeretica prauitate tamen concilium vocauit indicauit ipsum tanquam suum subditum Vnde in toto processu vsque post sententiam definitiuam suae depositionis reputans est ab eodem concilio verus papa Pope Iohn was neither accused nor conuicted of hereticall prauitie and for all that the councell both called him and iudged him as their subiect Whereupon the councell reputed him the true Pope in all the time of their proceeding against him vntill after the definitiue sentence of his deposition The eight place is conteyned in these words In causis fidei non habetur in 〈◊〉 iudex infallibilis vel qui non sit deuiabilis à â—ide de lâ—ge communi praeter ipsam ecclesiam vniuersalem vel concilium generale eam sufficienter repraesentans In causes of faith there is no infallible iudge vpon earth or which cannot swarue from the faith by the coÌ„mon course of Gods procéeding sauing the vniuersall Church or a generall councell Thus you see at large the constant doctrine of this great Doctor and famous papist who was present at the councell
the Pope was there Thirdly that it was decréed that they should be imprisoned so soone as they came These three obseruations are expresly conteyned in the former part of the Cardinals letter to speake nothing yet of the last clause thereof because that part is denied But the former part is freely granted which may not be forgotten Fourthly that the Pope was aduertised in Ferrara by his Nuntioes in

can testifie all this to be their fiction for so saith the Apologie These obseruations duely pondered it will appeare to the indifferent reader as cleare as the Sunne when it shineth at the noone tide that the Iesuite Parsons is câ—ndemned in his owne conscience and knoweth now no other meanes how to defend his badde dealing but by hypocriâ—ie falshood and impudent lying First therefore he chargeth the Cardinall Bellarmine with false testimonie This is euident by the first obseruation where after hee told vs the words of the Cardinals letter he addeth immediatly to the same words the exclamation of the priests That done he forthwith with an impudent mouth auouceth that the Cardinall can testifie all this to be their fiction Peruse the words in the beginning of this third chapter and marke them well The diuell is termed a lyer and pater eius but henceforth let him giue place to Parsons in that behalf For hauing told vs of the Cardinals letter written to him and of the contents thereof he forthwith affrmeth to vs that all is false and the méere fiction of the priests And yet is the greater part or rather the totall summe of their narration conteyned in the said Cardinals letter But let vs in the way of dispute and in fauour of our good Iesuite Parsons and in regard of his trauels for the king of Spayne against our natiue countrey suppose with him that the priests had vttered many vntruthes the contrarie whereof God willing shall shortly be made manifest yet must the lye perforce be retorted vpon Parsons as vpon him that best hath deserued it for his impudent shamelesse and most notorious lying The reason is euident because he granting a great part to be true affirmeth in the same periode the whole to be false But it shall be proued before the ende of this replie that there is no falshoode therein at all saue that onely which procéedeth from his owne lips Secondly Parsons to purge himselfe of bad dealing if possibly it would bee telleth vs in the fift obseruation that the Pope willed the Cardinall to write to him to be enformed of the priests and their pretences Heere Parsons either condemneth himselfe or else giueth the Pope a mortall wound If the Pope gaue no such charge to his Cardinall then hath Parsons committed a damnable sinne in lying so egregiously vpon the Pope and his Cardinall And it séemeth verie probable that the Pope was not then acquainted with the matter but that the Generall of the Iesuites by Parsons his information had required the Cardinall to moue the Pope for their imprisonment if perhaps they should come to Ferrara while the Pope made his abode there And for this cause did the Cardinall answere that the priests were not yet come but should be imprisoned when they came as we haue in the third obseruation As if he had said haue yee no care I will be mindefull to gratifie you in your desire The priests are not yet come but I shall not faile to procure their imprisonment at their comming For it can not be imagined that intelligence of this matter could come to the pope but by the consent of Parsons and as Parsons did designe to be done The reason is euident because Parsons boasteth that he is appointed the Rector of the English Colledge the Prefect of the English mission and the like All which is true indéed and by reason hereof all English papists depend vpon Parsons and will doe nothing without his aduise the seculars euer excepted that now oppose themselues against him who doubtlesse would not bewray their owne cause If the Pope gaue such a charge indéed then did he shew himselfe to be the diuels vassall and not Christes vicar as he pretends to be For who but the diuell of hel would first decrée that the priests should be imprisoned and afterward labour to know what offence they had committed For if Parsons say truly the Pope knew not what offence was done Wel be this as it be may it is confessed on all sides that the priests with the Popes knowledge were first imprisoned then inioyned to liue in exile and neuer to returne into their natiue countrey without licence and could not to this day be permitted to speake to the Pope Iustly therefore may the priests exclayme O miserable times O wicked manners of men O cursed Parsons O cruell bishoppe of Rome Doest thou send thy priests with the daunger of their liues to execute thine imployments and when they haue taken a long painefull and chargeable iourney to know thy further pleasure in their doubts and distresses in that behalfe doest thou cause them to be imprisoned Doest thou punish them before thou know any cause Doest thou condemne them nay banish them before thou doest heare them speake they truly haue deserued no lesse because they haue taken part with thee against their naturall soueraigne Yet is it a shame of all shames for thee to haue dealt so cruelly with them They may see if they haue but one eye left that thou art neither Saint Peter nor Christs lawfull vicar Thirdly they were more strictly imprisoned at Rome then the Iesuites are this day in England though knowen professed enemies to the crowne For first Parsons was the chiefe Iaylour Secondly the priests were put in â—eucrall places of the prison so as the one could not speake with the other Thirdly they could not be permitted to talke with schollers nor the schollers to talke with them This is a good president â—ew to deale with tayâ—orous Iesuites when they shall hereafter be apprehended in this land Fourthly the notarie that penned the examination was a Iesuite so as Parsons had his desire in euerie respect These things put together with the former the last clause of the Cardinals letter of Parsons his hasting to Ferrara will be euident Fourthly Parsons fearing that the Pope would make some subordination in England laboured by all meanes possible that Blackwell might be the Arch-priest I proue this euidently For first the Pope willed that information should be procured out of England who were the fittest men for gouernment And yet Parsons confesseth that the opposite seculars were not acquainted therewith Albeit they were the fittest men as I shall proue demonstratiuely if any Iesuite will prouoke me thereunto Secondly the Protector demaunded the opinions of
the principall English in Rome And I pray you who were these Parsons himselfe forsooth and his brother Iesuite Baldwin lately come for that intent out of England Haddocke also Martin Array and Allen all Iesuited vassals and at his commaund Thirdly diuers other principall men wrote out of Spayne to signifie the sufficiencie of Blackwel for his Arch-presbiteran office and that he should be the gouernour This doth Parsons or his flattering vassals at his designement set downe in expresse termes in their Apologie Now I beseech the gentle reader who is so blind as cannot see this malitious treacherie Parsons seeketh by hooke and by crooke to hide his false dealing and yet doth he vnwittingly bewray his owne villanie Men forsooth in Spayne must please Parsons for their owne gaine and they must write to the Protector at Rome that Blackwell whose sufficiencie they know not is a most sufficient man Hee and none but he must gouerne all the priests in England Will ye know the reason this Blackwell is Iesuited if not a close and secret Iesuite and consequently he being the gouernour Parsons may rule at his pleasure and banish all that will not subscribe to his treasons For not onely the prests but the Cardinall also yea the Pope himselfe must conclude and agrée to the Iesuites their designements Who so will read the instructions which the Arch-priest is inioyned to follow can not possibly but be of my opinion CHAP. IIII Of the fashoods leasings and vntruthes conteyned in the Iesuiticall Apologie published to the world Paragraph I. Concerning Boromoeo the late Cardinall of Millan ANd as for that which our discontented brethren do cite in diuers places of their bookes of Cardinall Boromaeo of holy memorie that he tooke the gouernement of one of his seminaries in Millan from the fathers we haue informed our selues of the trueth that the fathers of their owne will and vpon their owne earnest suite left the said gouernment of the great labour and trouble thereof as also some little difference in opinion about the schollers education which the good Cardinall would haue had somewhat more bare in their diet and apparrel then the fathers order in their seminaries did permit For which the holy Cardinall alledged no euill reason saying that seeing they were to be sent afterwards abroad to poore benefices among countrey people where they must faire hardly they would refuse to goe beeing brought vppe after the diet of other seminaries But the fathers thought it easier for them to leaue this gouerment then to admit this difference and so they left it And the good Cardinall did vse all the meanes possibly he could both there in Rome to stay it in their hands These are the expresse words of Parsons his Iesuited vassals or rather of Parsons himselfe in the said Aplogie By these words two things are cleare The one that the Iesuites had once the gouernment of one of the seminaries in Millan vnder the iurisdiction of the Cardinall Boromaeo the other that the said Cardinall was a good man and of holy memorie Now the controuersie is this whether the good Cardinall disliked of their gouernment and therefore displaced them or that the Iesuites were wearie of the place and therefore did voluntarily leaue it The seculars say that the Cardinall◠〈◊〉 them the Iesuites denie it But why would the Iesuites giue ouer that gouernment which they had once taken vpon them because forsooth the good Cardinall would haue had the schollers to bee brought vp more barely in their diet and apparrell Thus they say but the contrarie is the truth For first eyther the Cardinals allowance was sufficient or not sufficient If it were not sufficient then was he not so good a man nor of so holy memorie as the priests do affirme If it were sufficient then was that excessiue and consequently vitious which the Iesuites did require then was their gouernment iustly disliked then did they shew themselues to be a prude and arrogant kinde of people that would not condescend to the Cardinall in his most lawfull demaund Secondly Doctor Lewis the late bishop of Cassana a man of great credit and renowne and who had great familiaritie with the said Cardinall did often affirme to his friends that the Cardinall could not endure them nor like of their gouernment Master Hugh Griffeth master Morgâ—n and master Meredith all priests this day liuing can and will testifie this to be so Thirdly my selfe admiring that the Iesuites kept not that place which sometime they had in Millar enquired diligently what should be the cause for that I thought well of the Iesuites at that time indeed And one of their owne order being then a Prefect in the English Colledge to say nothing of the common report of others confessed fréely that the Cardinall could not brooke well their fathers but he would not in any case shew the cause thereof This to be true I protest before God and his holy Angels Fourthly they alledge a reason which they would haue to be the Cardinals but both it is from themselues and doth consute themselues The reason is this viz. because they were to be sent afterward abroad to poore benefices where they must fare hardly But this reason is their owne and neuer framed by the Cardinall and it is confuted many waies For first they grant marke their words alreadie cited that the cardinals reason was good and consequently that the Iesuites were bad and without all reason when they refused to yeeld vnto reason Secondly where shall those benefices be found and in what country which are not sufficient to fill the priests belly No where doubtles for the mainteynance of Popish priests is too great euery where Yea by the setled law of poperie would God it were so in our english ministery euery priest at the houre of his consecration hath some title for his sufficient maintenance to say nothing of the huge commodities that doe dayly insue vpon his priestly function And for this cause the papists that now come into England where they haue no titles are created ad titulum sanctissimi and so may iustly chalenge necessary maintenance of the Pope howsoeuer he hath imprisoned the messengers but bestowed no viaticum on them at all neither great nor small Fiftly it followeth of the Iesuites their owne procéedinge that they are vnfit men for gouernance For it is against all reason to allow larger commons and more liberall diet to those that must be sent where no certaine maintenance is so be had and more bare and sparing diet to such as must haue well setled liuings And yet doth the case thus stand by Iesuiticall precéedings in the seminaries For they grant as you see that the Cardinals reason was good but it is their owne indeed in regard of the poore benefices which are farre larger and better a wiseman would thinke then the vncertaine and accidentiall maintenance of the Seminaries in this lande But this happely
may bee gainesaide in respect of the euerie daye expected conquest for other reason none can be yeelded and yet this perforce must be reiected Paragraph II. Of the Iesuite Bellarmine now Cardinall of the sea of Rome To proue the Iesuite Parsons an impudent and a most notorious lyer it is sufficient to pervse to remember what is already said thereof in the third chapter of this booke for after that Parsons hath set downe the narration of the seculars and freely granted the greater part thereof to be true yea the whole in effect as there it is proued and so needeth not here to be recounted he forthwith like a desperate ruffian and as one vnmindfull what he had immediately written affirmeth with shamelesse lippes and rayling tongue that the whole narration is false Which doubtles is such a notorious vntruth as nothing is worthy to be of credite that shall heare after procéede from his penne Paragraph III. Of the students in the English Colledge Parsons that arrogant Iesuite for his owne credite if it would be telleth vs in the apologie in the 184. page that vpon a certaine falling out betweene Maister Doctor Lewes then arch-deacon of Cambray and after bishop of Cassane and the English youthes then students in the English Colledge the said youthes aboue 30. in number were all dismissed thence and yet brought againe and placed in the colledge by his good meanes Thus doth this good fellow boast of his rare fauours towards the english students and his deserts in this behalfe are excéeding great if we will beleeue him But I assure thee gentle reader whosouer thou art and I speake vpon mine owne knowledge as who was at the same time one of the same number that this is to be enrolled among his other notorious vntruthes For first there was no disagreement at all betwéene the late Bishop of Cassana and the students Againe the contention was indeed betweene the Cardinal Morone then the protector of the English and the students or rather the Iesuites who like wilie foxes did all in all couertly and yet would séeme openly to be most vnwilling to haue the gouerment of the colledge Thirdly Parsons was at that time a man of no reckening among the Iesuits neither did he or could hee doe anie thing in that behalfe The reason hereof is euident because he confesseth in the said apologie that the colledge was erected in the yeare 1579. And that himselfe entered into the societie in the yeere 1574. so that he had then béene Iesuite scantly foure yeeres whereof one must be allotted for his probation now if any wise man wil beléeue him that he could be of such credite with them vpon so short a tryall he may but my selfe know the contrarie and so doe many moe yet liuing viz. Maister Meredith Maister Griffeth Maister Morgan M. Elize and sundrie others but none better then Maister Mush if he list to speake the truth therein Fourthly there were at that time Iesuited English men of long continuance in that societie who should rather haue done that exploit then this good father if it had béene but for comely order sake but as I said afore the Iesuites would not be knowen to deale in the matter Fiftly this good fellowe this good father I would say will needes bee the only man that procured the schollers to stay and a thing to bee laughed at the graue and learned father Toledo afterward Cardinall was but an instrument to helpe the said Parsons in his imployment A shame it is for this fellow to tell of himselfe such a shamelesse lye The truth is this the generall of the Iesuites was desirous indeed to haue the gouernment of the colledge committed to his societie as who knew right well that it would tend both to his credit and to his commoditie But for feare of the displeasure of Cardinall Morone who tooke part with Maister Morice the welch-man whome he had designed to be the Rector of the colledge he neither would deale openly for the schollers neither suffer any of the societie to concurre with theÌ„ in that behalfe yet he did that secretly which was the vpshot and end of all viz. he commanded by a secret message the reuerend father Toledo a great learned man and one of great reckening with the Pope at that time that he would instantly beseeth the Pope prostrate on his knees before his holinesse and to make a most pitifull lamentation for the ouethrow of England that is forsooth that now were reiected the finest wits the most toward youthes the seede of poperie and the only hope of the English nation who now exiled for zeale in religion and come to be his popish vassals must either be trained vp in papistry after the Iesuiticall manner or els should England neuer be reclamed world without end this swéet narration noe sooner sounded in the Popes eares but the commanded the schollers to be receiued into the colledge againe Where note by the way what politicians the Iesuites bee This Toledo was a Iesuite then remaining in the Popes house with the Pope and was the Popes chiefest aduiser in all ecclesiasticall causes He then being a Iesuite must needs doe the designement of his generall the maister Iesuite of all the rest For his profession was to obey at a beck And for that he was present with the Pope in his pallace Bel-vâ—dére he was free to deale without suspition in this great and weightie matter Lastly being in high esteeme with the Pope and speaking in a cause so plausible and profitable for his holinesse he was most likely to preuaile in his suite which I protest to the reader the Iesuits did more then once promise to the schollers before it came to passe Thus it is most apparant to euerie indifferent reader that the goodly story which Parsons telleth for his owne vaine glory is a lye with a witnesse For the first credite that euer he got was wrought by his treacheries treasons against his natiue country most noble England By reason whereof he crept into such credite with the King of Spaine that now he is able to doe all in all both with that Kinge and the Pope himselfe Wherefore my opinion is this that the seculars are ouer matched and that howsouer they bragge that they will haue audience or els dye for it one after another yet are they more like many of them if they goe to Rome to be cast into their holy most holy inquisition for Parsons hath now by the reason of their writings matter enough to worke vpon and therefore their best course is to submitte themselues to Queene Elizabeth and to bid the Pope faire well with all his traytorous Iesuites Paragraph IIII. Of the dealing of the Iesuite Parsons during his aboad in England THe seculars write that Parsons being in England did so exasperate the minds both of the Prince and magistrates by his doings as then first of all by that occasion capitall lawes were appointed against
priests and their receiuers Parsons answeareth that this is a calumniation which hath diuerse euident falshoods reproueable by the witnesse of all that liued at that time in England both catholikes and heretikes But I reply yâ— this aunsweare of Parsons containeth a lye so palpable and so notorious as I wonder how he could vtter it without blushing For first diuers of the seculars in England at that time refuse to witnes this false narration Secondly many good christians whome it pleased this good fellowe to terme heretikes will witnes against him Thirdly if all must witnes with him then doubtles none will witnes against him which is most absurd to say or hold Fourthly his owne disputation will confute it selfe For after hee hath told vs of his great paines in preaching teaching and writing and namely in setting forth the reasons of refusall of going to the protestants Churches hee forthwith addeth these words vpon which preaching and writing when many chiefe men refused to goe to hereticall seruice there was called a parliament in the end of the same yeere and the law of twentie pound a moneth for recusancie was ordained but no capitall law made against priests or their receiuers vntill diuers yeeres after father Parsons was gone forth of England This is that goodly narratioÌ„ which father Wiseman maketh for his honest purgation if it may stand good either in law or with right reason let vs examin it to know the truth therof First he granteth fréely that by reason of his godly preaching and writing the penall statutes of 20. pound the month was imposed for recusancie Secondly he granteth fréely yâ— by his traytorous preaching and writing many chiefe men refused to goe to hereticall seruice Thirdly he granteth fréely that he wrote against going to the protestant Churches Fourthly he granteth likewise that he termed the godly prayers vsed in the churches of England hereticall seruice and consequenly hee termed her maiestie an heretike like an arrant traytour as he is And yet forsooth we must beléeue him yâ— he did not exasperate he Maiestie and her magistrates to make capital lawes against Iesuites and seminaries who can thinke that this fellow hath any witte Who is so blind as hee seeth not his contradictions Who seeth not how the deuill hath bewitched him For what was the cause of capitall lawes against Iesuites and seminaries Doubtles the deniall in English subjects of their due allegeance to their naturall soueraigne the profession of that same to the Pope her mortall enemie And yet is this consequent necessarilie inferred of the premisses which this fellow fréely hath admitted I cannot but admire the folly of the man that doth not see it for euery recusant is reconciled to the Pope and must perforce take parte with the Pope against the Queene as is already proued And to this recusancie must be ascribed as to the principall cause the enacting of all capitall lawes and other penall mulcts whatsoeuer I say to this recusancie that is to that recusancie to which treason is annexed as an inseperable accident therof For vntill recusancie was so linked with popish treason that disloyaltie was thereby set a broach in euery corner recusants did iâ—ioy all curtesie libertie freedome Wherof this is a sufficient argument because all the capitall and other sharpe penall statutes did nothing at all touch the old popish recusants Albeit we sée this day which is to be imputed to the traytorous Iesuites that other priests together with the lay-people are as deepely drowned in treasonable practises as the seminarie-priests But what Can Parsons say nothing for him selfe Yes forsooth he telleth vs first that he was gon forth of England before capitall lawes were made against priests or their receiuers Alas alas what a poore shift is this Nay what a foolish man is this Parsons committed treason vpon treason and then ran away for feare of the halter Ergo the capitall lawes ensuing were not made to preuent his and the like future treasons Euery child I weene will sée the absurdity of this consequution He telleth vs secondly that in CaÌ„pions arraignment which was after Parsons his departure there was no one action of Parsons objected in particular against the state though he were known to haue béene the superiour in that mission To this I reply that the silence of Parsons in Campions arraignment cannot discharge Parsons of the same or like treasons Besides it may be that the state was aduertised how dastardly Parsons ran away and that they thought that their conniuence and silence in the matter would be an occasion of his returne and then they would talke with the good fellow He telleth vs thirdly that Parsons was the chiefe in the Iesuiticall mission which assertion doubtlesse doth vtterly confound the man For séeing all the capitall lawes were enacted onely and solely against the Iesuites and their fauorites it must needes bée granted it cannot be denied that they were principally intended against the principall Iesuite that is to say against Parsons who will needes be the chiefe I therefore conclude that the Iesuite Parsons is a notorious lyar and that the lye which he would bestowe vpon others is iustly and fitly retorted against himselfe See the fift chapter in the second section Paragraph V. Of Haddockes life and conuersacion Richard Haddocke now doctor as Parsons termeth him is charged by the secular priests to haue béene of no edification in England in his life and conuersation But Parsons because he resisted the messengers sent to Rome and was readie at a becke to doe his designements desperatly affâ—rmeth with a brasen face the contrary in these words as for his libertie of life as they call it while he was in England it is false that it was of any euill edification and some of vs knew him better then these libellers these are the words of our graue Apologians To which I aunswere breifely that these wordes of the Prophet are truely verified of Parsons who was the author of this Apologie indeede There is no faithfulnes in his mouth there inward parts are verie wickednesse their throats an open sepulchre they flatter with their tongues For my selfe knew the man and his life right well and I will onely say that in few words of him which I thinke himselfe will not deny If he doe it shall God willing be proued heareafter by a multitude of honest witnesses and by such particular knowne circumstances of times places and parsons as no possible deniall can be made thereof for it shall neuer be proued God willing that I write any vntruth of any man liuing God is my witnesse that is farre from my meanining But I wonder that the earth doth not open her mouth to swallow vp quicke the Author of this Apologie for his manifolde notorious slanders impudent leasings and most excerable caluminations And Parsons is the man as I haue proued in the first chapter The phrase stile and methode
