us and gains us the victory I will endeavour to make it appear that Iesuâ— hath shewed to the World that foundation and propagation â—f the Society is like an illustrious monument to make his Name admirable and remâ—in to perpetuity for the declaration of his Glory As Christ said to his disciples that they should be hated of all men for his Names sake which is the Name of Christians the whole Earth being then Pagan and Idâ—latrous so they pretend they are hated and persecuted only for the name of Jesuites they bear though all Europe be Christian and adores Iesus Christ And as Iesus Christ is in the Vessel of the Church they pretend he is also in the Vessel of their Society being as they call it an Epitome of the Church within the Church Lib. 4. c. 1. Our Fathers had recourse to God in tempests being seized with the like fear as the Apostles when they ran to Christ asleep in the ship But Iesus is so in the Vessel of the Society that as it was the Mariners safety to have in his Bâ—at Caesar and his fortune so the name of Iesus we bear is our assurance though it be also the cause of our perils he shall command the winds and the sea and there shall be a calm Lib. 4. p. 483. All these passages cited by these Fathers in their favour are no solid proof that the Authors of holy Scripture and the Prophets spoke of them but shew their presumption and self-love in entertaining themselves with the thoughts of their excellencies whereof they are so full that they see them in every thing This is the cause they have so little respect for Holy Scripture that they fear not to make it serve the desires of their heart and to substitute themselves in the place of Iesus Christ and the Church They have reason to fear lest by abusing the Word of God with so much indignity and insolence they make themselves of the number of those of whom St. Paul in his 3d chap. of the 2d to Timothy saith that having a form of godliness they deny the power thereof The pre-eminence of Ignatius above Moses the Apostles and Founders of Religious Orders One of the three Sermons made by the Dominicans at the Canonization of Ignatius which the Iesuites have made theirs by translating it out of Spanish into French by their F. Sollier and have been censured by the Sorbonn hath these expressions We know that Moses with his Rod in his hand did great Miracles in the Aire the Earth Water Rocks and in all he thought good to the drowning of Pharaoh and his who'e Army in the Red Sea But it was the inâ—ffable Name of God which Learned Tostatus Bishop of Aula sayes was graven in the Rod that wrought the Miracles I was no great wonder then that the Creatures seeing the Ordinances of God their Soveraign Lord and King subscribed with his Name rendred him obedience Nor is it to be mâ—rvelâ—ed that the Apâ—stles did sâ— mâ—ny Miracles for that they wrâ—ught all in the Name of God by the vertue and power he had given them seâ—ling it with the Inscriptiâ—n In my Name they shall cast out Devils speak with new Tongues c. But that Ignatius with his Name in Paper should work Mâ—racles greater than Moses and equal to the Apostles that his Seal had so much authoriâ—y that the Creaâ—ures â—ave it quick and sudden obedience 't is this that makes him the subject of our greatest admiration Upon which Article the Sorbonn in their Censure printed in 1611. saith that this manner of speech whereby the name of the Crâ—atures seems equalled to that of Almighty God and where Miracles are lessened and exteâ—â—ated for having been wrought in the Name of God lastly where uncertain Miracles are preferred to those which ought to be held for Articles of Faith is scandalous erroneous blasphemous and impious And in the 91 page of the same Sermon While Ignatius lived his life and manners were so grave so holy and so elevated even in the opinion of Heaven that none but Popes as St. Peter Empresses as the Mother of God some Soveraign Monarch as God the Father and the Son had the happiness to enjoy a full Vision of it Whereupon the Sorbon also hath declared That this Assertion suggesting that God receives benefit by the Vision of a creature is scandalous and contains manifest heresie In the third and fourth page of the 2 d Sermon Doubtless the Founders of other Religious Orders were sent in favour of the Church But since these last dayes God hath spoken to us by his Son Ignatius whom he hath established heir of all Whereupon the Sorbon hath further declared that the application of the Text of St. Paul In these last days literally to any other but Christ is scandalous erroneous and â—avours of blasphemy and impiety Proud Comparisons of the Foâ—nders and Generals of the Society with Emperours Conquerours and Great Princes of the World They make an Apostrophe to Mutius Vitâ—â—lâ—schi their General and say All Posterity shall know that you have been the first General in the end of the first Age as Rome called their Emperours by the name of Augustus from the end of his time Lib. 1.

They compare the union of the Jesuites to that of two Roman Emperours and to that effect tell us of the Emperour Aurelian where two Emperours are graven with the Sun above them giving them both equal irradiation with this Inscription The agreement of the Caesars comparing the concord of the Jesuites to that of Heathe Princes When Alexander had tamed the Horse called Bucepbalus Philip his Father told him that he must entertain thoughts worthy the Generosity of his heart and by the power of Arms seek a Kingdom equal to his invincible courage Macedon being too little for him When Ignatius had so valiantly subdued the unruly passions of corrupt Nature we have reason to believe that Christ stirred him up to undertake the greatest matters in the world using the like expressions and saying Rome and Italy are too narrow for thy courage Europe is not large enough seek out new Realms and new Worlds wherein to plant the Trophyes of thy Religion Lib. 1. c. 10. Oâ— 3. p. 118. The Mission which Christ gave his Apostles to subdue all the Earth was somewhat more effectual but not expressed in such terms of Pride But these Fathers are not ashamed to make the Saviour of the World and great pattern of humility to speak in Language suitable to their Arrogance and Presumption They say further That Ignatius had no need to imitate the Captain of the Hebrews in commanding the Sun to stand still that he might have time to compleat his Victory for he in the perpetual course of his illustrious and most glorious Victories hath followed the Sun from East to West almost throughout the World And having conquered himself he had cause to hope to conquer the Universe What could be

The design of this Collection is to make appear that God by a secret order of his Providence hath abandoned the Jesuites to these unhappy Attendants of insiâ—cerity in Religion and to demonstrate particularly in this That he hath given them up to the two most pernicious enormities which according to the Apostle are the effects of mens infidelity and unwillingnesse to embrace the instructions of Jesus Christ which are To be puft up with pride and to imagine that godlinesse is to be used as a means to enrich themselves For by the extracts we have reported out of the Image of their First Age will appeare on the one side The pride of their hearts and to what a pitch of extravagance their self-conceitednesse hath carried them as that there is not any artifice injustice or violence they implâ—y not to enrich themselves by the spoils of all sorts of persons Secular and Religious Soveraign and private They have no cause of complaint that we attribute these disorders to the Society for that though they were onely the faults of those particular persons who committed them they might neverthelesse be justly imputed to the Society as authorizing them all by the doctrine she defends and the impunity the offenders find in her bosome For where are the punishments she inflicted on them who acted such violences and inhumanities against the Nuns of Voltigerode What course hath she taken to repair the damages sustained by so many desolate families ruined by the banquerupt of the Colledge at Sevil. Let any one saith Mariana Chap. 14. have but boldnesse enough what faults soever he be guilty of he remains in the Society if he have but the wit to frame an excuse or any pretence for what he hath committed I passe by gross crimes a great number whereof is winked at under colour of want of sufficient proof or fear to have them noysed and so become publick â—or our Government seems to aim at nothing else but covering of faults like them who rake the asheâ— uppermost as if the fire that lies under would not sooner or later send forth some smoke No rigour is exercised but upon those poor wretches who have neither power nor protection whereof there are instances enough others shall commit the greatest mischiefs imaginable and yet no man touch one hair of their head A Provincial or Rector shall turn all upside down violate the Rules and Constitutions of the Order squander away the Estate belonging to their Houses or give them to his Kindred without any punishment after severall years miscarriage but the rendring of his condition better than ever by discharging him of his Office Does any man know a Superior chastised for such excesses as these And afterwards having wished that there were in the Society Rewards provided for the good and Punishments for the vicious he addes 'T is a lamentable thing and permitted by God for our sins that oftentimes we practise the contrary for among us the Good are afflicted yea put to death without cause or for very light reasons because we are assured to find no contradiction nor resistance from them whereof we could produce many deplorable examples and the wicked are upheld because they are feared A conduct capable to provoke God to precipitate the Society into the Abyss of Destruction See how this Author who was a member of the Soiety deplores â—her policy that engages her unhappily to conâ—ive at the greatest enormities of the persons of whom she consists And how farre she is answerable for their greatest extravagancies by cherishing and maintaining them and making it her Choyce to tolerate in them all sorts of Corruptions rather than discover to the World any thing that may induce the people to believe the Society is composed of any but Saints It were easie to prove that the Greatest part of the Maxims of their Moralls are grounded on nothing else but the libertinage of the members whose justification the Society undertakes When one of the Company had seduced his Penitent and made use of pretended Revelations to cover under the name of marriage his impurities and sacriledge Another of the Society to justifie the Crime fails not to teach That a Fryar profest may marry upon a probable Revelation If one publish Calumnies against the most innocent persons because he imagines they did the Society prejudice Another will teach That a Fryar may not only destroy the reputation but slay the person of any he foresees may annoy the Glory of his Order Lastly if some be so wicked as to inspire the Subjects of best Princes with designs against their Lives and the quiet of their Estates Others will compose intire Volumes to justifie those Assassines and Murtherers and the Society will Canonize them for Saints and Register them in the Catalogue of Martyrs especially if they be of her Children May it not be truly said then that the Members of the Society commit not any disorder that may not justly be imputed to the Society it self But 't is not our purpose in this Collection where we shall report nothing but what hath been done by whole Houses and intire Provinces and the Society it self appeared highly in defence of So that we shall omit a great number of stories whereof we have most ample and Authentick Memoirs in our hands with the Names and Surnames of the Persons the Houses the Provinces and the Circumstances of their Crimes specified so particularly that there cannot remain the least doubt of the truth of the facts alleadged which yet shall one day see light if these Fathers force us to publish there is not any enormity in the Catalogue of Vices which is not practised amongst them that they abuse their Missions into strange Countreys to lay snares for the Chastity of the Inhabitants their Conversation the Word of God and surintendence of Monasteries to corrupt Virgins consecrate to God Mens Daughters and Wives the Sacrament of Penance to pervert mens Consciences and pollute their Colledges and Congregations by Enormities not to be named There is evidence sufficient for this in the book F. Jarrige the Jesuite of Rochell published against them wherein the matters of fact are set forth with all their particular circumstances that not to believe them were to offer violence to our senses 'T is true the Book was published during his Apostacy but 't is as remarkable that after his return to the Church of Rome and his publishing at Antwerp in the Jesuites Colledge the causes of his return and discoursing at large of that Book he charges himself with too much heat in the writing but doth not particularly disavow any one of those scandalous stories he reported therein This
of the Iesuites as in the name of the Company of Iesus granted them by Paul the 3d. at their desire with many extraordinary and unheard of priviledges as they themselves testify when they say That the Popes having said in their Bulls That this Society hath been raised by the Providence of God their judgements in these things are not subject to errour because it seems God gives his Oracles by him But the Popes infallibility is subject to contest when he censures the Books of three famous Iesuites Poza Bâ—uny and Cellot with such brands of errours and heresies condemned that he makes their Books of the number of prohibited ones so dangerous and pernicious that they ought not to be read or imprinted and then when he darts the intire thunderbolt of Anathema against the Book of Rabardean the Iesuite saying That the Saâ—â—ed Congregation having maturely examined the propositions contained in his Book hath judged that there are many rash scandalous offensive to devout eares seditious impious intirely destructive to the Papal Power contrary to the immunities and liberties of the Church approaching very near the heresies of the Innovators erronious in the Faith and manifestly heretical For there is cause to believe that the Pope consults not his Oracle when he acteth against it and attributes to the famous Authors of this August Society falsities impieties and heresies approaching neer those of the Innovators And why should not the Disciples of the Iesuites piously believe that it were easie for this High Priest on these occasions to have seen false visions than that these Oracles of Doctrine and Truth should become lyers Now me thinks these good Fathers ought to reserve their humility and modesty for some occasion and not call her the Little Society when they tell us their Society is the Oracle of the Soveraign Pontife and spread through the four parts of the world Elogies that denote her of the greatest grandeur excellence and extent of all Societies in the Universe But it may be that when they say This Society fastned on the breast of the Pope they would qualifie her with the title of Little lest men should think she might lye heavy on his stomack and be a burden to him because of her greatness As for what they add that the Church loves their Society more than she ought or the Society deserves 't is a modesty not to be approved for that in Truth the Church ought intirely to love those who are not only the Restorers of the Life of Christ and the Apostles among men A Society of Angels and Heroes but are besides the Oracle of Doctrine and Truth which he who represents her Head and her Spouse carries on his breast the owes them not love only but respect Truth being venerable of it self and the Oracles of Truth deserving a double Reverence As to that they insinuate of purpose to sweeten the Envy of other Orders against their Society That other Orders of Religion are in the Church what the Manna the Tables and Aarons Rod were in the Ark of the Covenant and that they call these three things the three Oracles of the Ancient Religion to make the Title they assume of the Oracle of Doctrine and Truth more passable and currant I fear the able persons of other Orders will believe those good Fathers do but jear them making them believe that these three things were sometimes Oracles which they never were but continued shut up in the ark without use in the external paâ—â— of religious Worship whereas this Oracle of Judgement Doctrine and Truth was the most august and necessary Ornament of the High Priest without which he could not execute any function of Priest and Supream Judicature It seems by this that the Iesuites would reduce other Orders of Religion to continue locked up in their Monasteries as reliques in their Chests and as the Manna Tables and Rod were in the Ark and keep for themselves all the honourable imployments of the Church which can have no favourable construction among other Orders most men even those who make profession of piety not loving to be mocked with false titles of honour pretended to be given them by those who assume the true and most illustrious to themselves But though the patience and charity of good men of other Orders were sufficient to bear this mockery with simplicity it would not excuse the malignity of the Iesuites in offering the indignity The Example of Bishops who preferred that of the Society to their Character and Titles of Honour A Bishop in 1602. Declared publickly That he gloried more in the title of a brother of our Society than in that of a Bishop and esteemed it a greater Ornament than his Cross and his Myter lib. 3. c. 7. pag. 363. Not long since a Bishop of the Realm of Naples who in his life-time had more love for his Mitre than for the Society said at his Death O holy Society which I have not sufficiently known untill now nor deserved to know thee thou surpassest the Pastoral Crosier the Mitres the Purple of Cardinals the Scepters the Empires and Crowns of the world Lib. 5. c. 10. p. 667. An excellent Document for our Lords the Bishops Archbishops and Cardinals if they love their Churches and Dignities more than the company of Jesuites that is if they are more BishopS Archbishops and Cardinals than Jesuites When they appear before God Christ will not ask them whether they have loved their sheep whether they have fed and guided them aright and laboured for the good of the Church but whether they have loved his Companions the Jesuites upheld the interest and favoured the enterprizes of this Little Society of these Little and Beloved Benjamins A Bishop of France who knew the Iesuites better than this Prelate of Italy and was endued with a more Episcopal science told these Fathers That there was great difference between the Order of Bishops and theirs for that there is no doubt that the former was of an holy institution and its Authority necessary for the preservation of the Church though all were not Saints who were invested with the dignity but as for the Iesuites without examining particulars the whole body was of no value it being more than probable thâ—â— the spirit of the world and politick respects had contributed more to their establishment than the Spirit of Christ and that the Good Ignatius brought into it was presently destroyed by the interessed Ambition of his Successors Three great Archbishops of Malines who possessed that dignity immediately one after the other and dyed reputed Saints had thoughts very different from those of the Italian Bishop For the ancientest of the three speaking of the Iesuites said These men shall flourish at first but afterwards become a Curse to all People his Successor added These men shall trouble the Church The last Propheeyed of them in these words These men shall become as the dung of the Earth To conclude the last Bishop of
after which to get some pretence for complaint and to give out as they have done that they were driven away by force they prevailed with the Sieur Beta Lord of Altkirk to send thither for Souldiers who arrived upon the place and the Iesuites having made them drink after the Germane mode retired to Ellenberg Of the Abby of Nostre Dame des Ermites in Suisserland and the Jesuites entry thereby notorious falsiâ—ies Though the means used by the Iesuites to usurpe the Priory of St. Morand were unworthy of men of Religion and of Christians yet those whereby they insinuated themselves into the Abby of Nostre Dame des Ermiâ—tes in Swizzâ—rland are more base and villanous The story is so common in that Countrey that every one knows it This Monastery is a stately Abby of the Order of St. Benedict very famous the best regulated most reformed and populous of all Germany having ordinarily forty or fifty Monks all imployed and well skilled in the Sciences of Phylosophy Theology and Cases of Conscience of good abilities of Preaching Catechising and Confâ—ssion which they exercise constantly and the Diâ—ine Service performed to a perfection proportionable to the wishes of the most Devout The Iesuites nevertheless took the same pretence of Preaching and Confession to get in thither as at St. Mâ—rands with this difference that at St. Mâ—rands they made use of the secular Authority of the Arch-Duke onely but for this Abby they had recourse to the Holy See and surprized the Pope informing him most falsly that the Church of the said Abby which is renowned for miracles and multitudes of Pilgrims resorting thither from all parts to pay their vows to the Blessed Virgin was very ill served the Pilgrims ill instructed and little satisfied and that it would be very expedient to settle there some persons capable to exercise this Holy Ministry being almost incompatible with a monastick profâ—ssion and offering to sacrifice their persons to that Labour if his Holiness thought fit to imploy them The Pope who discerned not the hooke hid under this fair pretence dispatched a Brieve to the Abbot commanding him to receive into his house fix Fathers of the Iesuites capable and appointed to assist and ease the Fryars of his Order in that Holy Exercise with Order to entertain them in all things according to their profâ—ssion Though the Abbot received and made them welcome yet he mistrusted them and apprehended the danger he saw himself suddenly and unexpectedly fallen into This made him Assemble from all the neighbouring places such persons both Religious and Secular whom he accounted most Judicious To consult with them how to secure himself against these dangerous spies The Resolution was That an ample information should be drawn up in good form of the state of the Abby the imployment of the Monks and Celebration of Divine Service and that it should be sent to the Pope to dis-abuse and undeceive him which was accordingly done And the Pope thereupon immediately sent a second Brieve in revocation of the former commanding the Iesuiâ—es to retire to their Colledges and leave the Benedictines to continue their spiritual harvest in the fields of the Church Câ—rruption of Iudges by presenâ—s The Rector of the Iesuites of Fribourg resolved to retain if possible the said Prâ—ory of St. Morand bethought himself beforehand of means most unworthy a man of Religion and a Christian to secure what he had unjustly obtained To this purpose he was fully determined at what price soever to gain the Auditor-General being Soveraign Iudge at Bâ—isach to their side and to corrupt him by bribery from doing Justice to the adverse party engaging him to his power to favour the usurpation of the Iesuites never minding the scandal would be given this heretick being one of the subtlest amongst them and to other men of Religion when it should appear that a Rector of the Iesuites who would be thought the flower and cream of Christiâ—nity was guilty of an iniquity so hâ—mous as to endeavour by presents to shake the constancy of a Iudge and sway him from his duty who ought to be inflexible But the Rector who valued not such considerations made the Iudge a present of a Christal Vessel to oblige him to maintain them in their usurpation of St. Morand This is clear by a letter in Latine the Original whereof was shortly after found in the said Monastery signed by the Iesuite Gebhardus Deminger and addressed to F. Gaspard Schiez Rector of the Society of Iesus at St. Morand dated Iuly 27. 1651. containing among others these express terms as may appear by the whole letter intirely recited in the said memorial of Paul William Viz.
