as by their practise is euident but as Hierom writeth in the like case fraudem facere Ad Rusticum to circumuent vs. So farre are they from that Dooue-like simplicitie to which the Lord Iesus and from whome they would deriue their name exhorteth his Disciples Math. 10. verse 16. There are that haue branded them with this marke Iesuits Catac li. 3. fol. 156. There is not in the world any beast more subtill then is the Iesuite not the Fox which Chrysostome in his 19 Sermon describeth thus Vulpis calliditate Potens inuentrix doli fraudis artifex simulationis magistra simplicitatis vacua Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur plenastrophis Change the name you may render it thus the Iesuite is a beast powerfull in craft an inuentor of guile the artizen of deceite maister of fauning deuoid of simplicitie and full of wily subtiltie For whereunto tendeth it that one Iesuite must bee called by so many names Proceedins against he late Traitors as Garnet that moste treacherous Prouinciall Wallye alias Darcie alias Roberts alias Farmer alias Philips Is it not that going masked vnder so may names as vnder so many visards hee may the more securely lay his snares to entrap vs what is their drift in transforming thēselues into as many shapes as they meete with obiects now a Courtiour then a Cittizen heere a countrie Gentleman there a coūtrie Swaine sometimes a Seruingmā a swaggerer Pot-companion another while a Priest in a word euerie man for euerie bodie a quilibit for a quolibet a Polipus for all orders and degrees Is it not that by this meanes they may come within men of all sorts insinuate themselues into their companies creepe into their bosoms prie into their hearts that so they may more easily beguile them vnawares But of all their Wiles I commend vnto you the Aequiuocating Sibboleth Iudg. 1.2.6 the verie forge of lying and deceit which bewraieth them by their speech to bee no other then false faining Ephraemites By this they affirme and deny sweare and forsweare and all with a breath they are Priests and they are no Priests that is to tell you they say Masse and they say not Masse that is in Pauls Quier or in Westminster Quier When they talke with our Magistrates they speake as to the Walles for men with them are no men and all by vertue of this mixt proposition their Gorgons head a point in Logicke which Aristotle neuer taught and the ancient schooles knew it not wherby they goe beyond the course of nature making things meerely contradictorie to subsist Let mee trouble your patience with one instance which shall bee worthy your obseruation When a Recusant shall sweare for example in taking the Oath of Allegeance according to the expresse words of the Oath and according to the plaine and common sense and vnderstanding of the same words without any Aequiuocation or mentall euasion or secret reseruation whatsoeuer Could it be imagined that any shifting or cauelling wit should bee able to finde a starting hole in the same to winde himselfe out of it yet beholde an English Catholike as hee nameth himselfe but indeede the verie fierie match of this state and kingdome in a letter written to a friend of his hath as hee would beare others in hand found a meanes to auoid the force of this Oath by Aequiuocating as namely where it is said That the Pope hath no Authoritie to depose our King Pet. 18.19 nor to dispose of his Kingdomes so forward what concerneth the Pope true saith he Without iust cause or directly hee cannot or in some such like sense When as the deponent sweareth directly against all and euerie such mentall euasion and secret reseruation whatsoeuer and that hartily and wittingly and truely or else let him refuse the Oath and not sweare at all Heere is the verie quintessence of this cogging Artt he recusant taketh the Oth according to the expresse words not so saith our English Catholike but hee must Aequiuocate the Recusant followeth the plaine and ordinarie sense and meaning of the words our English Catholike teacheth him to keepe somewhat in his minde by secret reseruation the Recusant abiureth and sweareth against all mentall euasion our English Catholike instructeth him to make escape by his mixt proposition expressing a part of his minde by word of mouth and reseruing an other part in his heart Whether this bee to make shipwracke of Faith and a good conscience malitiously and of set purpose by open and manifest periurie let any man iudge which doth not wilfully shut his eyes against the noone-light and being past feeling is by Gods iustice giuen ouer to a reprobate sense Ye see the foulers of our times their nets their sleights their wiles wherein they goe beyond the Foxes in subtiltie in hunting after their prey What remaineth but that wee humbly desire our vigilant Magistrates to whome the charge of the Lords vineyard is committed to take these Foxes both great and small for what doe they else but spoile and destroy our vines which God hath placed amongst vs in this fruitfull soile And that wee our selues setting their snares before our eyes carefully shunne and auoide them which else will bring vs to perdition both of body and soule And this of the subtiltie of the aduersaries of our Church 2 The second circumstance and propertie whereby the Prophet describeth them is their crueltie in renting and tearing Christ his flocke and swallowing them vp quicke as cruell beasts doe their prey It is not a new face of the Church or proper to those daies and seasons onely which our Sauiour setteth foorth to our view Stel. in Luc. Mat. 10.16 Behold I send you as sheepe in the middest of Wolues For in that our Sauiour speaketh in a time neither past nor yet future to come but in the present I send you he thereby giueth vs to vnderstand that the dangers which are imminēt to his sheepe conuersing amongst wolues are alwaies present with them there beeing no season wherin they are free from their rage and crueltie whether wee call to mind the times past or consider what now is or heereafter shall ensue In hoc seculo in his diebus malis in this world of wickednesse saith the Godly Father Saint Augustine in these euill daies De Ciuit. dei li. 18. cap. 18 wherin sinne hath got the vpper hand the Church as a stranger and Pilgrime holdeth on her course sustained by Gods holy spirit not onely euer since Christ and his Apostles conuersed heere vpon the earth but euen from the time of Abell the righteous whose blood his cruell brother Caine spilt vpon the earth So ancient is the crueltie of these Wolues and rauenous beasts preying vpon Christ his Flocke and so continuing from time to time as their rage and rauenous appetite hath edged them forward By the furie of these Wolues the holy Prophets were consumed from Abel vnto Zacharias
