A66402	An impartial consideration of those speeches, which pass under the name of the five Jesuits lately executed viz. [brace] Mr. Whitebread, Mr. Harcourt, Mr. Gawen, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Fenwick : in which it is proved, that according to their principles, they not only might, but also ought, to die after that manner, with solemn protestation of their innocency.	Williams, John, 1636?-1709.	1679 (1679)	Wing W2710; ESTC R211881	18,885	29

him and to cry out of the rashness of one man as Mr. Gawen doth when as it 's the prevailing Opinion amongst them and it is disingenuously done of them to do by him as the Deer by one that is wounded clear themselves of his Company when he is of the same Herd with them Indeed after all that Mr. Gawen hath said towards the Vindication of himself and his Order he hath said but what Mariana did before him for Mariana held as I have before shewed That it 's not lawful for a private person to kill a King and therefore saith That John Duke of Burgundy was condemned by the Council of Constance because he caused Lewis Duke of Orleance to be killed Non expectata Sententia Superioris without attending the Sentence of a Superior as the Pope i. e. he did it upon his own head and out of private Revenge And if this be the meaning of Mr. Gawen which is the received Sence of those of his Order we are much beholden to him For then our Prince is left to the Mercy of the Pope's Bull or that of the People for as soon as he is by them declared against or is an Heretick or grows intolerable or is deposed then any private Man is the Minister of Justice and doth right to God and his Church or the People if he kill him If Mr. Gawen had meant honestly he should have told us that it was not his Opinion that a King may be Deposed or that upon Deposition he is no King and that tho thus deposed it was unlawful for any Person whatsoever to attempt his life But as long as he useth the current phrase among them we must take their Interpretation of it also and then he must say any private Person may kill a King in the Circumstances before spoken of so that a King is only secur'd against private Revenge or the present rage of his Subjects but if they have Warrant for so doing from the Pope or People then Lord have mercy on him for he is like to find none from them So that after all his renouncing of Equivocation c. he in his last dying words is found basely to Equivocate whilst he neither tells us what the King is whom a private person ought not to kill nor what that private person is that ought not to kill him And when if he means according to the stile of his Order it is no more but that whilst a lawful King is not Excommunicate an Heretick or deposed no one may kill him and when he is either of those no one of a private revenge or malice may be allowed so to do But if the publick good be concerned in it or there be Authority or Commission from Superiors that is Pope or People in Parliament then the private person is no private person and there is no bar to secure a Prince's life from the Assaults even of such And if there be such a notorious Equivocation in this so set a performance of his and that he acted so conformably to his own Principles of obeying his Superiors in whatever they commanded in denying whatever may be to the prejudice of their Cause or Party in using mental reservations even whilst he renounced them for these and the other ends before spoken of what hinders but we are to think that all the rest wrote after the same Copy with him as when they say that they are as innocent as the Child unborn of treasonable crimes is not this reconcileable to the principles of Dispensation and Absolution which last they might and it 's probable did give one to another Is it not reconcileable to the Excommunication and Deposition of his present Majesty and to the Title which the Pope challengeth to these Kingdoms by the ancient claim of Surrender When they speak of the King might they not apply it either to the Pope or a Successor doing therein much as a certain Priest did that when asked who was Supream in all Causes in the Church of England presently answered the King meaning thereby the King of Heaven as he afterward Expounded it When they do declare against a Plot for the Alteration of Government is not that easily applied to the kind or form or some main parts of it When they renounce Equivocations c. Did not Garnet and Coome do the same and yet in the mean while did Equivocate or Lye Did they do all this at their Death and call God to Witness and pawn their Souls to verifie and confirm what they said Is this more than what was practised by Mr. Tresham and Gurphy and what is frequently done by Villains at their Execution without such Reasons for it from Religion or Interest as these Men had When I read their Speeches I can hardly but believe them When I think of their Accusations their Principles and the Practices usual amongst them I begin to tremble To think that at such a time and in so great a case as this is men should prevaricate and to deceive the World care not what becomes of their own Souls or else that they can be so stupid as to think that the Salvation of their Souls can be consistent with such Impieties I question not but that time will make this as clear as the day and then what they did to strengthen their Cause will be the greatest blow to it that perhaps it ever yet had When it shall be upon record and published before all the World That so good may come of it the good of their Church and Order they care not what Evil they do nor how they Subvert the Laws of God and Nature so they may establish their own FINIS a Ignatii Exercit Spirit p. 141. reg 13.
