always_o be_v soldier_n by_o profession_n before_o that_o we_o take_v this_o habit_n upon_o we_o it_o be_v a_o french_a hermit_n a_o great_a runner_n of_o the_o country_n and_o who_o make_v a_o

have_v all_o of_o they_o their_o mistress_n as_o well_o as_o the_o hermit_n moreover_o they_o tell_v i_o that_o they_o suspect_v the_o hermit_n to_o be_v a_o sorcerer_n which_o make_v they_o the_o more_o fearful_a to_o make_v the_o least_o step_n towards_o the_o discover_n of_o he_o that_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n also_o that_o he_o have_v bewitch_v this_o gentlewoman_n because_o that_o though_o he_o have_v no_o considerable_a quality_n and_o be_v beside_o very_o deform_v in_o body_n with_o a_o great_a slovenly_a beard_n a_o stink_a breath_n and_o rot_a tooth_n yet_o that_o she_o have_v always_o love_v he_o passionate_o from_o the_o time_n that_o she_o have_v first_o receive_v one_o of_o his_o letter_n wherein_o be_v enclose_v a_o piece_n of_o white-wax_n like_v unto_o a_o

which_o give_v they_o great_a suspicion_n that_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o devil_n they_o be_v about_o to_o tell_v i_o more_o of_o he_o but_o the_o fear_n into_o which_o they_o have_v put_v i_o lest_o this_o venerable_a hermit_n may_v return_v to_o give_v i_o a_o visit_n make_v i_o after_o that_o in_o a_o few_o word_n i_o have_v exhort_v they_o not_o to_o follow_v such_o wicked_a example_n and_o to_o have_v the_o fear_v of_o god_n before_o their_o eye_n to_o take_v my_o leave_n of_o they_o desire_v they_o to_o show_v i_o the_o way_n to_o the_o abbey_n of_o the_o father_n where_o i_o intend_v to_o go_v and_o say_v mass_n have_v make_v a_o vow_n to_o do_v so_o at_o the_o altar_n of_o s._n sylvester_n when_o in_o clamber_v the_o rock_n i_o find_v myself_o in_o great_a danger_n of_o my_o life_n this_o be_v also_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o refuse_v to_o eat_v or_o drink_v with_o these_o hermit_n because_o no_o man_n may_v say_v mass_n except_o he_o be_v fast_v so_o i_o go_v a_o little_a high_o up_o the_o mountain_n by_o a_o very_a pleasant_a way_n and_o i_o arrive_v at_o the_o abbey_n just_a at_o dinner_n time_n i_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o get_v the_o church_n door_n open_v for_o i_o in_o order_n to_o acquit_v myself_o of_o my_o vow_n after_o i_o have_v say_v mass_n i_o desire_v they_o to_o let_v i_o see_v the_o monastery_n but_o they_o make_v great_a difficulty_n also_o to_o grant_v i_o this_o request_n because_o the_o monk_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o italy_n be_v almost_o all_o of_o they_o go_v to_o take_v their_o rest_n however_o at_o last_o one_o of_o the_o monk_n by_o order_n of_o the_o prior_n lead_v i_o into_o a_o small_a garden_n which_o he_o tell_v i_o be_v the_o place_n whither_o s._n sylvester_n retire_v himself_o during_o the_o persecution_n which_o afflict_v the_o church_n in_o his_o time_n and_o that_o there_o he_o wrought_v that_o great_a miracle_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o his_o life_n time_n viz._n that_o some_o of_o the_o emperor_n man_n be_v come_v to_o look_v for_o he_o the_o saint_n have_v a_o desire_n to_o entertain_v they_o but_o have_v nothing_o wherewith_o he_o send_v a_o deacon_n that_o

the_o holy_a name_n of_o jesus_n by_o appropriate_v it_o to_o themselves_o of_o all_o the_o pope_n that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v have_v there_o be_v not_o one_o to_o be_v find_v that_o

be_v the_o cause_n why_o many_o people_n who_o they_o give_v occasion_n to_o curse_v they_o pronounce_v that_o holy_a name_n most_o irreverent_o mingle_v it_o with_o the_o wicked_a word_n and_o

the_o jesuit_n have_v in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n raise_v itself_o to_o a_o prodigious_a greatness_n so_o it_o will_v be_v long_o before_o it_o take_v a_o fall_v equal_a to_o its_o elevation_n it_o

to_o the_o sense_n i_o have_v already_o explain_v after_o have_v take_v a_o view_n of_o their_o college_n and_o church_n in_o this_o noble_a city_n i_o have_v a_o favourable_a occasion_n offer_v i_o of_o see_v the_o relic_n of_o s._n januarius_n which_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o cathedral_n and_o where_o the_o roman_a catholic_n boast_v of_o have_v a_o perpetual_a miracle_n for_o they_o show_v you_o

burnet_n now_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n have_v in_o his_o letter_n give_v we_o his_o opinion_n concern_v this_o relic_n which_o be_v very_o probable_a as_o for_o my_o part_n though_o i_o be_v a_o

to_o obtain_v that_o favour_n this_o indeed_o make_v i_o somewhat_o suspicious_a of_o the_o relic_n for_o if_o a_o priest_n have_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o handle_v the_o body_n of_o

priest_n who_o know_v the_o trick_n of_o it_o can_v when_o ever_o they_o please_v cause_n to_o be_v diffuse_v over_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o glass_n they_o declare_v to_o all_o person_n that_o come_v to_o see_v this_o relic_n that_o a_o heretic_n be_v once_o convert_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o this_o miracle_n so_o that_o here_o be_v now_o a_o second_o miracle_n produce_v to_o confirm_v and_o

the_o rest_n have_v see_v the_o relic_n of_o s._n january_n i_o ask_v he_o what_o he_o think_v of_o it_o he_o desire_v i_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n not_o to_o speak_v to_o he_o about_o it_o for_o fear_v it_o shall_v raise_v those_o thought_n in_o he_o that_o may_v incline_v he_o to_o turn_v heretic_n again_o for_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o when_o the_o priest_n be_v about_o to_o show_v it_o he_o they_o fall_v into_o the_o great_a confusion_n imaginable_a because_o the_o spring_n of_o the_o machine_n will_v not_o play_n but_o at_o last_o they_o shake_v the_o bottle_n so_o long_o till_o they_o

to_o persuade_v he_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o as_o they_o pretend_v it_o have_v do_v other_o i_o have_v also_o another_o question_n to_o ask_v of_o this_o new-papist_n which_o be_v how_o the_o

people_n to_o their_o party_n and_o that_o almost_o all_o their_o public_a act_n of_o religion_n consist_v in_o these_o four_o thing_n the_o read_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o sing_v of_o psalm_n preach_v and_o celebrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n i_o pray_v he_o also_o to_o tell_v i_o sincere_o whether_o what_o i_o have_v hear_v report_v of_o they_o from_o my_o first_o youth_n be_v true_a or_o no_o viz._n that_o they_o have_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o devil_n in_o their_o church_n and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o sermon_n be_v end_v all_o the_o hugonot_n go_v and_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o it_o and_o worship_v it_o this_o be_v that_o story_n the_o jesuit_n so_o often_o tell_v to_o their_o scolar_n in_o their_o school_n to_o inspire_v they_o with_o horror_n against_o the_o heretic_n his_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a lie_n and_o that_o the_o hugonot_n have_v so_o great_a a_o aversion_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o image_n in_o their_o church_n that_o they_o never_o suffer_v any_o to_o be_v there_o neither_o of_o god_n nor_o of_o the_o angel_n nor_o of_o the_o saint_n nor_o of_o the_o devil_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v he_o can_v tell_v i_o nothing_o that_o may_v give_v i_o any_o disesteem_v for_o the_o protestant_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o very_o much_o diminish_v the_o false_a idea_n they_o have_v give_v i_o of_o they_o he_o only_o declare_v that_o the_o sole_a reason_n that_o have_v incline_v he_o to_o leave_v they_o be_v because_o he_o believe_v their_o doctrine_n not_o to_o be_v sound_n and_o that_o they_o put_v a_o false_a interpretation_n on_o the_o scripture_n in_o a_o word_n he_o do_v not_o believe_v say_v he_o that_o their_o divinity_n be_v good_a but_o indeed_o he_o can_v not_o say_v less_o to_o make_v man_n believe_v he_o be_v a_o papist_n i_o have_v since_o make_v this_o reflection_n that_o it_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o proof_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n when_o those_o who_o leave_v it_o have_v nothing_o to_o object_n against_o the_o manner_n or_o practice_n of_o those_o who_o profess_v it_o i_o defy_v a_o protestant_n that_o leave_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o turn_v papist_n to_o ridicule_n or_o disapprove_v the_o least_o ceremony_n that_o be_v practise_v in_o the_o same_o for_o shall_v he_o do_v this_o he_o must_v either_o scoff_n at_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o word_n
