A Duell between a Iesuite and a Dominican begun at Paris gallantly fought at Madrid and victoriously ended at London upon fryday the 16 day of May Anno Dom. 1651. by Thomas Gage alias the English American now Preacher of the Word at DEAL in KENT Curteous Reader THE cause of my being at present at London requiring some satisfaction and just vindication I thought fit to set my self in the publick view of my Country and once more to appear with the poor and beggerly Cloak of my former American Stile The object of my discourse being a Jesuite and a Dominican both professours of a sole fancy-pleasing Religion my pen shall drop before thee a dream the relation whereof may peradventure delight the sense and fancy of some and from thence get further into the hearts of some others now holding the Stern of the weather-beaten ship of this Common-wealth It is a most true and well experienced saying that odia Religionum sunt acerbissima and may be instanced both at home and a broad but especially between the Jesuites and Dominicans both clothed with outward weeds of dissembled mortification but both inwardly Lupi rapaces ravening Wolves with sharp teeth of Passion biting and devouring one another This Passion begun with the birth of Ignatius founder of the Jesuites Order a fiery birth seconded speedily with a fiery name what else signifieth Ignatius but Igninatus born for fire of mischief and sedition This fire began to burn at Paris and with it that ever since lasting quarrell between the Ignatians now Jesuites and the Dominicans There it was that Ignatius like a Cobler beyond his Last took upon him to soar above his reach and to search into the mystery of the blessed Trinity which proving too hard for his weak brain brought him to a publike censure and judgement for his speedy triall the Dominicans being the Grand Inquisitors of the Inquisition Court were nominated Judges who finding Ignatius too saucy with the secret Trinity of one glorious and Immortal God and traducing it with blasphemous and erroneous principles condemned him to a publike punishment no less then whipping Lashes they were that did not only gall Ignatius his back but ever since have caused lashing and clashing between Ignatius his children and the Dominican Whippers And if Ignatius his name betray his fire stil blown and further kindled in most parts of the world by his train of Jesuites so likewise doe the Dominicans in their Legend Confession acknowledge fire to be blown by them who boast that when their founder Dominick was born his mother saw in a dream stand by her a Dog with a lighted Torch in his mouth and a Globe which if true may better signifie that he and his children also should kindle fire of rebellion and sedition in the world then what they most foolishly fancy upon it Thus Gentle Reader if you please you may take notice of these two fiery brands of Christendome the Ignatian Jesuite and the barking and biting dog with fire in his mouth the Dominican But as two fire-brands laid together upon one hearth strive with the fire that is in them not only to burn what comes neer or is laid upon them but further are active in burning and consuming each other Even so where ever these two the Jesuite and Dominican do meet they according to their from hell infused Activity indeavour to kindle not only the fire of discord and rebellion in the Common-wealths or Kingdomes where they live but also burning passionately each against the other doe indeavour like fire-brands one to consume the other Oh how did Ignatius his fire with a violent flame about the yeere 1620 run in Spain over all the houses and Cloisters of the Dominicans who by the Jesuites then were so prosecuted that with weapons they were forced to defend their lives in their Cloisters against the fury of the common people stirred up against them by the fiery Jesuites and were like to bee banished that Kings Dominions for heresie imputed to them because against the Ignatians and Suarez his Crew they held that Mary Christs mother was conceived in sin and not like Jeremy sanctified in her mothers womb Tedious I might be in relating their clashings in China Iapan in Rome yea and in England but I must make hast to Madrid and from thence give thee Reader intelligence of a single Combate or Duel fought before the King and his Court in the Kings Chappel between Florentia a grand Jesuite and Domingo de Torres a Dominican both Chaplains to that Majesty when my self was living in Valladolid in Spain Florentia envying the Dominicans fortune honor who by the Laws sof Arragon are constant Confessours to the Kings of Spain and ambitious of that place himself thought if he could any wayes banish them from the Court of heaven he might soon cause them to be banished from the Court of Madrid and from hearing that Majesties Confessions Whereupon he plotted a feigned dream and sleep that should befall him in the Pulpit ready to preach before his Majesty and his Nobles Up to the Pulpit he goes to act in publike his secretly contrived plot before the naming of his Text hee faineth a sleep resting upon his hand and Elbow the Court being for a while in suspension wondring what had befallen the sleepy and drowsie Jesuite at last he awakes with a dissembled amazement and craving pardon of his Majesty relates his dream as followeth Sacred Majesty being in a sleep I have dreamed that I was in heaven Wel said Jesuite thou mayst dream of heaven that is all thou art like to have and there I saw the glory of all the Saints and among them Herme Negildus and many other Kings of Spain with Philip your Father whose glory may be your Majesties incouragement I saw also of all religious Orders some but above all Ignatius was most glorious with his train of Saints but prying earnestly amongst them and casting a carefull eye about all the Corners of that capacious Court I could see no Dominican Saint which hath made me Judge that surely their lives here upon earth are unworthy of eternall life in glory and that their ambition to be great here especially about your Majesty is cause of their losse of any greatnesse hereafter in heaven Thus having with a lying Dream unthroned all Dominicans from Seats in glory who doubtlesse without a lye may be said to have none there and banished them that Court hoping to work a banishment of them from the heart and affections of his Majesty and his Nobles he went on to his Text suiting his discourse with his faigned dream fancy But the Dominicans hearing of this Jesuiticall plot against them made choice of one of their best Champions by name Domingo de Torres who might enter into Duell with Florentia having Goliah-like defied the host of the Guzman or Dominican families Therefore upon the next Lords-day Domingo de Torres being appointed to preach in the
