our specall grace and fauour we confirme them Out of this generall constitution they haue drawne one particular which is worthy to be knowne in the 16. part of their constitutions chap. 5. The title beginning thus That the constitutions may not binde any man in conscience sith the societie desires that all their constitutions declarations and order of life should be without euasion conformable to our direction and also neuerthelesse wisheth to be secured or at least succoured that they be not snared in any sinne which may growe by their constitutions or ordinances we haue thought good in the Lord exception taken to the expresse bow wherewith the societie is bound to the Pope for the time being and the thrée other essentiall vowes of pouertie chastitie and obedience that no constitutions declarations or any order of life shall impose any yoake of mortall or veniall sinne vpon them vnlesse their superiour command those things in the name of our Lord Iesus Christ or in the vertue of obedience And againe in stead of feare of offending let loue and desire of all perfection come in place and let the glorie and praise of Christ our Lord maker be the more exalted By the first article it is lawfull for them to change and rechange their constitutions at their owne pleasure for their owne good By the second their constitutions are held in regard of the soule indifferent so that the Iesuite may breake them without committing mortall or veniall sinne A law which their great law-giuer gaue them to the end that to Gods honour and glory there might he fewer sinners in their societie Oh holy soules oh pure consciences who restrayning their inferiours from sinne take themselues the reines committing all manner of sinne vncontrolled Let vs examine these points without passion and let let vs consider the scope of these two propositions By the first no prince shall be assured of his estate and by the second no prince shall be secure of his person in his owne kingdome Concerning the first point call to minde how matters haue béene carried for these 25. or 30. yeares There hath béene no nation where they be fostered but they would be tempering with their affaires of state I thinke they are such honest men as what herein they haue done they haue vndertaken to doe it by vertue of their silent constitutions for if they did it by their owne priuate authoritie the generall were vnworthie of his place should he suffer it Further this was forbiden them in the yeare 1593. when they saw all their plots were frustrate Admitte new troubles should arise these gallants will cassiere and disanull this last ordinance suffering their companions to intermeddle as before But what are their rules in such affaires Marrie that is it lawfull to kill a tyrant that a king breaking the common lawes of the land may be depriued of his Crowne by the people That there are other causes for the which princes and great personages may be slaine In what a miserable condition shall princes liue if the assurance of their estate shall depend vpon these fellowes Let us sée their new constitutions of 1593. I will that they medle not at all in affaires of state in generall termes And that particularly they practise not vpon the person of princes Are they bound to obey this Nothing lesse For their law-giuer chargeth not their consciences but in expresse termes he would otherwise haue charged them by vertue of their blind obedience And this is the cause that Commolet preaching since this new statute that there wanted a new Ehud to kill our king and Walpoole furnishing Squire with poyson and instructions to kill the Quéene of England his mistresse thought they sinned not therein These words are set downe in the Iesuites Catechisme Lib. 3. cap. 26. fol. 234. fol. 236.

Note heere gentle Reader these important points with me first that the Iesuites are notorious lyers and that their owne fellowes can not tell when to trust them Secondly that they are notorious coozners and full of iugling tricks Thirdly that the Iesuites acknowledge the Pope to be Lord spirituall and temporall ouer all christian princes Fourthly that the Iesuits are notable temporizers as who account all things lawful that will serue their turne Fiftly that the Iesuites are so perfidious a people as their faith is become Fides panica the Carthagenians faith that is a false and detestable faith Sixtly that the Iesuites will be Spaniards or Frenchmen or whatsoeuer else if opportunitie be offered thereunto Seuenthly that no estate is free from the villanie of the Iesuites Eightly that the Iesuites make hauocke of the Popes Buls and constitutions Ninthly that the Iesuites change and rechange their rules and lawes at their owne good will and pleasure The Iesuites therefore are good fellowes fit for all times all places and all companies Paragraph X.

must end vpon the ninth day of October at which time Parsons wrote his letter and so perforce he is farre short of his halfe yeare and consequently a lyar Thirdly that when Parsons saith from May to Nouember is more then halfe a yeare in which time no letter was come from them he both contradicteth himselfe and is an impudent lyar I proue it because euerie child knoweth that betweene may and Nouember intercéedeth the moneth of October and yet as Parsons confesseth liberally he wrote his letter to master Bishop the ninth of that moneth and the same weeke receiued a stale letter firm the same Bishop So then it is true that Parsons receiued a letter from master Bishop in the moneth of October and consequently it is false that he receiued no letter from May to nouember Fourthly that the word now in Parsons his letter doth connotate the time present that is the time of the date of his letter to wit the ninth of October at which time as he saith in one place he had receiued no letter but as he saith in another place he had that weeke receiued a stale letter Ergo Parsons is a stale lyar This lye is confirmed in perpetuam res memoriam by the word yet for when he saith no one letter appearing from you yet he doth flatly contradict himselfe when he saith by a stale letter which I receiued this weeke from you Fiftly that when Parsons saith the reports of the hard and iniurious dealing vsed to the messengers in Rome is contrarie to all truth the falshood proceedeth from his lying lips as I haue alreadie proued Sixtly that master Bishop I know the man right well is of better credit then twentie Iesuited Standishes 70.

Of the Secular priests and their writings PArsons in the preface of his Apologie telleth vs that these bookes must needes be presumed to haue beene published eyther by some one or few discomposed passionate people or by some heretike or other enemie to dishonour them all and to discredit their cause and nation and so as to such he will answere and not against his brethren whom he loueth most intirely but in many other places he singeth an other song For page 63. he affirmeth it to be probable by many euident arguments that a long and slanderous narration was written by the proper pen of the chiefe authors of all these broyles Againe page 8. he confesseth that two priests whom he termeth the ambassadours of the secular priests came to Rome about the controuersie Againe page 9. he confesseth that in Nouember last 1600. diuers of the discontented made a generall appeale from the Archpriests iurisdictien Againe page 24. he saith that his brethren doe vse so fonde a calumniation against the Iesuites as no man can but wonder thereat Againe page 105. he termeth the authors of the bookes his discontented brethren To be briefe in maine other places he confesseth that master Bishoppe master Charnocke master Mush master Bagshaw master Champney master Collington master Warson and others haue written against the Iesuites so as contradictions may be deemed a thing verie common with our graue and holy Iesuite Robert Parsons who knew right well that the declaration sent to his holinesse was subscribed with the hands of thirtie priests whose names I would here put downe but that I studie to tbe briefe Sect. IIII. Of the elegant Epithetons ascribed to the Iesuite Parsons by Iohn Collington the Secular priest in his booke of Defence IOhn Collington hath lately published a large volume in defence of the seculars for their appeale to the Pope against tyrannizing Blackwel which book came lately to my hand but doth so euidently conuince the Arch-priest and the Iesuites specially that notorious traytor Robert Parsons as I cannot omit to make briefe recitall of some parts therof for the common peace of this our natiue countrey In the page 30. He hath these words whose busie head he speaketh of Parsons actions haue béene the cause and increase of much trouble and persecution in our Church and Realme And who being a member of an other bodie and professing also a mortified state and to haue relinquished the world seeketh neuerthelesse to be our great master and to rule all or to tyrannize rather Againe pag. 31. He saith they haue most pregnant grounds to proue that Parsons was the inditer of the Cardinals letter constitutiue for the archpriests iurisdiction Againe page 296. He affirmeth that Parsons writeth no booke discourse nor scarse any letter of these stirres wherein he doth not recount some good act of his owne Againe page 297. he telleth vs that Parsons by managing of the Colledge hath gotten such store of money as he spendeth fiue or sixe crownes a weeke in postage for letters onely Againe page 253. hee affirmeth boldly that Parsons appointed the Arch-priest Againe page 255. he termeth Parsons the Arch-deuiser in getting the Cardinals hand subscription and seale Againe page 206. hee chargeth Parsons with many vntruthes and to haue as little synceritie in his actions as truth in his writings Againe page 256. he hath these words it would make to the praâ—se of father Parsons if religion were lesse worldlisted in him and state matter and the designing of kingdomes had not so great a part in his studies Againe page 170. he hath these words we assure our selâ—es father Parsons that your restlesse spirit and pen your enterprising and busie actions haue turned heretofore our Catholike professants to infinit preiudice for to no knowne cause can we impute so much the making of the seuere lawes of our countrey as to your edging attempts and vocations Againe page 240. hee telleth vs plainely that Parsons hath proferred and reprofered the Crowne of England to seuerall princes now to one now to another as opportunities best serued to entertaine the personage with the hope thereof And to omit many testimonies because I would not be tedious I will heere recount one for all which master Colleton setteth downe in these words Neyther is father Parsons holden onely of our magistrate for a statist or marchandizer of the Crowne Diademe though this were enough to estrange vs from hauing any partaking in ought with him but his trauels and negotiations this way are become so notoriously knowne that euen Pasquine in Rome as intelligence is sent vs speaketh in this manner of him if there be any man that will buy the Kingdome of England let him repayre to a marchant in a blacke square cappe in the Citie and hee shall haue a verie good penny worth thereof Thus writeth Colleton of Parsons who both are deuoted to the Pope alike Sect.

that they neuer had such a meaning neither did the arch-priest practise any such matter meddle no way in any thinges by their appeale whereby a Premunire can be incurred no not so much as interpretatiuely The Answere I say first that the seculars haue an huge multitude of popish fauourites aswell counsellers skilfull in our municipall lawes as others both of the nobilitie and gentry as they confesse els where This former I gather hence for that they make a flourish of these words premunire and premunireall wherein I confesse I haue no skill as being noe parte of my profession Secondly that albeit I am ignorant what the lawe word premunire meaneth yet doe I constantly auouch that if the Iesuites haue incurred the premunire for their dealing in the arch-priests case and cause as they affirme and I willingly admit then haue the seculars likewise incurred the same pemunire by reason of their appeale to the bishope of Rome In which dispute I am content to encounter with them when they shall challenge me for the same Thirdly that the seculars aswell as the Iesuites notwithstanding their contrarie pretence in outward shew of bare words did by their appeale to yâ— romish tyrant repute hermaiesties parliaments of no authority her statutelawes of no validity her royall prerogatiue of no soueraigne excellencie but ascribed all wholy and soly without respect of English regalitie to their professed papall vsurpate primacie All which shall God willingly be made more plaine cleare and euident before the end of this aduiso The fourth reason The Iesuites bolster out and build aswell the intended vsurpate authority of the arch priest as also their owne treasonable attempts ploâ—s and practises vpon the saide bull and his holinesse authority Ergo none other to appeale vnto for iustice against them The Aunswere I say first that this reason doth ouerthrow abandon and turne it selfe vpside downe for seeing the Iesuites doe builde all their treasonable plots and practises vpon the Popes Bull and authoritie it had beene expedient and agreeable to all right and reason that the seculars if they doe or will acknowledge any true loyalty and faithfull allegeance to Queene Elizabeth should not haue appealed to the Pope the mortaâ—l knowen enemie of the said allegeance but from the Pope to her Maiestie or to some in authority vnder her But the seculars haue no such meaning because forsooth they will acknowledge no such allegiance Secondly that seeing the seculars doe resolutely affirme that there is none other to appeale vnto but the Pope alone they desperately appeach them selues of high treason The reason is euident because they peremptorily auouch a forein potentate yea a foraine knowen enemie to be the competent iudge ouer her maiesties subiects euen within her Maiesties Realmes and dominions Which themselues els where graunt to be vnlawfull The fift reason The seculars by their appeale clearely exempt redeeme and keepe out themselues from acknowledging any obedience to that alreadie premunirized arch-priest by consequent from all daunger of incurring a premunire The Aunswere I say first that though the seculars doe not now acknowledge any obedience to the arch-priest yet doe they acknowledge obedience to the Pope which is an offence of like qualitie and greater deformitie and by consequent they neither enioy immunitie from the premunire neither from treason in the highest degree Secondly that the seculars did once acknowledge de facto the arch priests authoritie and humbly yeelded their obedience to him viz. when they vnder stood by the Popes Breue his holinesse holy pleasure therin And that they now reuoke and denie the said obedience to the arch priest such deniall procéedeth of méere malice against the Iesuites and Iesuited crew and not of loyall dutie to Queene Elizabeth whome they outwardly pretend to loue for seruile feare The sixt Reason They labour by their appeale for securitie to her maiesties person for quiet to the state for auoydance of all inuasions for cutting of all conspiracies state-taÌ„perings erasperating libels c. And for assuraÌ„ce of relaxation and fréedom from their heauie persecution procured by the Iesuites against them aswell by false suggestions to his holinesse as also by stirring vp other princes against our soueraigne and nation thereby bringing warres and feares vpon all and heart breaking frownes to be cast vpon the innocent ergo so cleare and farre from all danger of any offence committed by appealing from the arch-preist to the sea of Rome as most daungerous vniust vnnaturall indiscâ—â—t irreligious and prediuciall to all both Pope prince Church common-wealth and allestates if they had not appealed but let the matter he dead in discontent obloquie and daunger of sorest trialles The Answere For the better vnderstanding of this reason and full answere to the same I obserue first in the contents thereof the seculars are freede and made cleare from all offence by their appeale to the Pope Secondly that if the secular priests had not appealed to the Pope they should thereby haue béene made vniust vnnatural indiscrete irreligious preiudiciall to Pope Prince Church and all estates These two obseruations are contained in the words followinge the seculars their Ergo. Thirdly that this appeale was taken in hand for her Maiesties security which I gather out of the first line of the reason Fourthly that the said appeale was for the quiet of the state Fiftly that it was also for auoidance of inuasions and cutting of conspiracies These obseruations well remembred the argument will be aunswered with all facilitie but to the cold comfort of the seculars For first they appealed to the Pope as is in the first obseruation and so they are traytors to Queene Elizabeth by the lawes of Englande For as the seculars write els where euerie appeale is an acknowledging of highest authoritie in the partie appealed vnto And this answere is confirmed by their fourth reason where they flatly denie her Maiesties royall prerogatiue ouer them while they affirme disloyally peremptorily saucily and tootoo arrogantly that there is no other to appeale vnto but onely the bishoppe of Rome whom they know as is alreadie proued to be her Maiesties mortall enemie and the chiefe agent in all conquests inuasions plots conspiracies treasons bloodie intendments whatsoeuer against Queene Elizabeth her sacred person her Realmes her royall honour her princely Diademe and most noble peerelesse regalitie Secondly by not appealing seculars should haue beene vniust and vnnaturall as is in the second obseruation but to the Pope not to Queene Elizabeth To her they are thereby in deed vniust for that they withhold thereby their homage due vnto her to her they are indeed vnnnaturall because they deny that loyalty which by nature they owne vnto her and they are in a sort naturalized to his disholie holines by the said appeale For they say flatly in the next article of the same quodlibet that they may not yeeld to the Iesuites vntill his holines haue decided the cause in the
court of Rome And yet vnwitingly they condemne themselues in an other place graunting that they may not by worde or writing impugne the parliamentall Lawes of this land Thirdly by not appealing they should haue beene preiudiciall to prince Church and all estates as is in the second obseruation but not to the prince Church or State of England ergo to the prince Church and State of Rome for of force they must so meane the force of trueth hath inforced their penne Fourthly they appealed for her Maiesties securitie as is in the third obseruation where I cannot enough admire the impudent insolencie of these disloyall Seculars who make a treacherous flowrish as if the securitie of their dread Soueraigne did depend vpon their Popes good pleasure and their treacherous appeale vnto him Herein they make hauocke other Maiesties statute-lawes which els where by popish statization and equinocation they say they may not offend A note worthy to be remembred Fifthly they appealed for the quiet of the state which is as disloyally spoken as the former for God auert that the peace of her Maiesties state and her Realmes do at any time stand in neede of the Popes fauour the intreatie of the sedicious Seculars Sixtly they appealed for the auoydance of inuasions and conspiracies as is in the fiâ—th obseruation out of which confession I inferre these two important corollaries First that conspiracies and inuasions are still intended against her sacred person her royall throne her crowne her state and dominions Secondly that the Pope is the principall actor in all plots conspiracies treacheries inuasions and conquests intended against the Queen her realms and faithfull subiects I therefore conclude that the Seculars are this day as dangerous in al treasonable plots bloody practizes and disloyall conspiracies as they haue beene heretofore For albeit they belabour themselues seriously to hide and bolster out all their cursed intendements against their dread soueraigne and natiue Countrey especially when they are occasioned to speake of matters of state as they doe or may concerne their owne persons yet doe they but equiuocate and temporize in so doing and that as scornefully and treacherously as euer did the Iesuites Of which point none can be ignorant that shall seriously peruse and ponder this discourse Wherefore as the Seculars say of the Iesuites so say I of them that though they sweare can yet we not safely beleeue them in state-affairs the reason is euident because they doe not acknowledge any magistrate vnder her Maiestie to be their lawfull and competent iudge If they say write or sweare the contrary yet giue no credite to them therein for euen then doe they seeke to delude the Magistate by their hypocriticall and execrable equiuocations No no it neither doth nor can stand with popish religion to thinke and beleeue that Queen Elizabeth whom God long preserue ouer vs can ordeine any competent iudge ouer them And consequently vntill the Seculars renounce the Pope and his damnable procéedings against Christian kings their royal diademes and sacred regalities they will doubtlesse delude the maiestrates with their fondely inuented equiuocationes This is a graue aduiso which may not beforgotten Aduiso V. Of the opinion affection and true meaning of the seculars in all the treasonable practises bloudie conspiracies and other disloyall intendmentes against their dread soueraigne and natiue countrie THe seculars conspire concurre and iumpe with the Iesuites in opinion affection and inward meaninge touching the Popes authoritie the bloudie conspiracies inuasions conquest other disloyall intendments against most noble Queene Elizabeth and our natiue country this I proue by manie strong weightie and irrefragable reasons The first reason The pretenses of such practises were generall and common to all Catholikes alike all maintaining one the same opinion concerning what might be done by Apostolical power authoritie neuer talking of what was necessarie Thus is it written quodl 8. art 9. pag. 277. but the seculars are papists aswell as the Iesuites Ergo of the same opinion with the Iesuites Heere the reader may see plainely that the seculars iumpe with the opinion of the Iesuits touching the popes authoritie For by apostolicall power they vnderstand the power and authoritie of the Pope To which must be added which is alreadie proued that the Pope hath excommunicated her Maiesty de facta and hath beene the chiefest agent in all treasonable practises bloodie conspiracies inuasions conquests and other execrable intendments against her Maiesties person honour state and dominions To this must likewise be added which is also proued that the Iesuites affirme malepeartly damnablie and disloyally that the Pope hath done nothing in the premisses but that he lawfully might doe The second Reason Among many examples of the deare loue and compassion of the Popes holines towards the inhabitants and princes of this land in times of imminent commonwealths dangers the chiefe since the Norman conquest was shewed in the daies and raignes of king Henrie the second surnamed Fitzempresse and of his sonne king Iohn the third Monarke of England of a Plantagenets royall race Against whom hauing vsed his fatherly correction as pastor vnivniuersall ouer the whole flocke of Christ for their great crueltie and tyrannie vsed towards their naturall subiects yet vpon their repentance mercifully receiuing them into grace and fauour of Gods Church againe his holines on the behalfe of the second did not onely accurse and excommunicate prince Lewis of France with all his adherents forcing him to yeeld vp all the interest right and title that he or his posteritie had or euer should haue to the English crowne but also surrendred vp the said crowne of England franke and free to king Iohn and his heires and successours from of the head of Cardinall Pandulphus hauing sit inthronized three daies therewith in the Popes right And thousands there are in England that desire as much Thus is it written quodl 8. art 9. page 327. Out of these words it is euidently deduced that the Pope taketh vpon him though most iniuriously and tyrannically to translate kingdomes to depose kings Emperours and Monarkes and to bestow their princely Diademes and royall regalities as seemeth best to his good pleasure Yea which is more to be admired the seculars who in outward shew of words by often and earnest protestations affirme themselues to be most loyall subiects approue the Pope in so doing For first where the Pope had excommunicated and deposed king Henry they terme it his fatherly correction Secondly they say he did it by his vniuersall authority ouer the whole Church Thirdly they terme the deposing of prince Lewis and the restoring of king Iohn to the crowne the chiefest fatherly compassion since the Norman coÌ„quest Fourthly they tell vs that Cardinall Pandulphus was three daies enthronized with the crowne of England vpon his head in the right of the Pope which forraine tyrannicall fact they commend approue Fiftly they tell vs that
