Majesty ought to be well assur'd of the success before he Convenes them together I am not of opinion with many other Catholics who say That by calling them the King hazards nothing for if they will not answer his ends he need only Prorogue them as is usually done But it is my opinion and the sence of many others That his Majesty hazards much for if it should unfortunately happen that they should in their Assembly refuse to comply with his Majesty's desires it may be long enough ere he compass his ends by way of a Parliament and perhaps never and then there rests no expedient or other means but by Violence to execute the Orders of his secret Council which must be suppos'd by his Army who upon a pretence of Incamping may be called together with the less jealousie or suspicion So you may see most Reverend Father that we do not want work in these Quarters and I must be supported by your Prayers which I beg of you and from all those of our Society His Majesty is so desirous that things may be done in order and upon a sure fund so as to be the more lasting that he makes great application to the Shires and Corporations to get such persons chosen for the Parliament as may be favourable to his ends of which he may be sure before they come to debate And the King will make them promise so firmly and exact such Instruments from them in writing that they shall not be able to go back unless they will thereby draw upon themselves his Majesty's utmost displeasure and make them feel the weight of his resentment And I have here inclos'd some effects of his Majesty's endeavours in this matter which is an Address which the Mayor Sheriffs and Burgesses of Newcastle in the County of Stafford have presented to the King see the Gazette where this Corporation as well as Glocaster and Teuxbury and others in their Addresses promise to choose such Members as shall comply with his Majesty's desires If all Towns were in as perfect Obedience as these we should certainly have a Parliament call'd which the Catholics and Non-conformists expect with great impatience But since this cannot be said of many of them the King 's Secret Council think good to wait for the Queen's delivery that they may see a Successour who may have need of the whole Protection of the Most Christian King to support him and maintain his Rights And by the Grace of GOD we hope that that Prince treading in his Father's steps may prove a worthy Son of our Society like his Father who thinks it no dishonour to be so call'd As to other things most Reverend Father our Fathers with me as well as generally all the Catholics with what grief do we hear of the Dis-union that arises between his Holiness and the Most Christian King How does my head in imitation of the Prophet's become a Spring of Tears to lament night and day the Schism that I foresee coming into the Church Is it possible that our holy Society should not stand in the Breach and prevent the mischiefs that this Difference may occasion in the Church And that no body can reconcile Levi and Judah the Priesthood and the Scepter the Father and the Son the eldest Son of the Church with the Vicar of Christ upon Earth And what a Desolation and what Advantage to the Hereties must this occasion They begin already to bid us Convert the Children of the Family before we begin to Convert Strangers And I must with grief confess they have but too much reason for what they say and if there does not come some present assistance from Above I foresee this Affair will occasion great prejudices in the North Nor have we any hope that his British Majesty will interpose herein openly he receiving so little satisfaction from his Holiness in some demands made by his Ambassadour at Rome which morally speaking ought not to have been denied so great a King who first made this step which his Predecessours for a long time were not willing to undertake in sending his Ambassadour of Obedience to Rome And yet for all this our holy Father had nor any particular consideration of this Submission and Filial Obedience so that I dare not mention this matter but by way of discourse daily expecting that of himself he will be pleas'd to make some Proposal therein I doubt not Reverend Father of your constant endeavour to accommodate this matter thereby to take away from the Heretics especially the Hugonots of France this occasion to laugh and deride us and we should think the change much for the worse if instead of the French King 's going to Geneva he should march to Rome What may not all this come to especially since the Marquess de Lavardin has been so passionate in his discourse to the Cardinal Chancellour as to call him Impertinent and so far to forget his Duty and Reverence toward our holy Father the Pope himself as to say he Doted as the Heretics do confidently discourse in these parts I have caused some Masses of Holy Ghost to be said That GOD would please to Inspire the discontented Parties with a Spirit of Peace and Concord You did acquaint me some time since That Madam Mainteron did take upon her the Title of Daughter of the Society by vertue whereof you may command her by vertue of Obedience to use her Credit and Eloquence with the King to incline him to an Accommodation in this matter In the mean time I hear that at Rome many eminent persons endeavour the same with his Holiness who says He cannot nor ought not to recede from what he has done otherwise it were in effect to submit to the Articles made in France by the Clergy in 1682 and consequently of too great moment to recant and therefore Submission ought to come from the Son and not from the Father I recommend myself Reverend Father to your Prayers and Blessing desiring you would continue to assist me with your Salutal Counsels and rest for ever St. James's Feb. 9th Yours c. III. The Answer of the Reverend Father la Chese Confessour to the Most Christian King to a Letter of the Reverend Father Petre Jesuit and Great Almoner to the King of England upon the Method or Rule he must observe with His Majesty for the Conversion of His Protestant Subjects Most Reverend Father WHen I compare the Method of the French Court which declares against all Heresies with the Policy of other Princes who had the same Design in former Ages I find so great a difference that all that passes now a days in the King's Council is an impenetrable Mistery and the eyes of all Europe are opened to see what happens but cannot discover the Cause When Francis the First and Henry the Second his Son undertook to Ruine the Reformation they had to struggle with a Party which was but begining and weak and destitute of Help and consequently
