to Frankford where by the leaue of God we meane to go we should happen to be set vpon by theeues who with their swords should hurt wound vs and take our money goods from vs I demaund of you whether they ought lawfully to possesse it as their owne because they got it by their swords The Hollander I am not obliged to shape you an answere to euery tryfling question you may aske me The Brabander And I am of opinion that no man is obliged to answere vnto any questiō whereunto he is not able to answere But yet I know that if such robbers by the high-way-side should fall into the handes of Iustice they should not be freed frō the hands of the hangman by excusing thēselues that our money goods belonged vnto them because they had gotten it from vs with their swordes The Hollander Let it be as be it may Our high mightfull Lords and States Generall of the Vnited Netherlands haue power and authority and because at the beginning of our discourse you asked me for Newes know now that these our Lords and States haue lately published a Placcart wherein in spite of all that are agaynst it they haue shewed that they haue authority This Placcart conteyneth a prohibition that no Iesuytes Priests Friars or other ordayned persons of Romish profession shall come into these vnited Prouinces or being there may still remayne and continue Moreouer that no man shall send any children to schoole or to remayne in any Cittyes Places Vniuersityes or Schooles vnder the commaund of the King of Spayne in the enemies Countreys or in other Colledges of Iesuites And that no gatherings or collectiōs of money gold siluer coyned or vncoyned or of other goods or wares shal be made to or for the benefit or behoofe of any Churches Hospitalls Spirituall or other Colledges or Conuenticles The Brabander In this tytle of a Placcart published by authority of such as haue not any authority all I note three points 1. The first is the prohibition or forbidding of Priestes and Iesuytes the Countrey 2. The second is that no children may goe to Schoole in any place vnder the commaund of the King of Spayne or in Colledges of Iesuytes 3. The third is that no money may be giuen to the vse or benefit of any Churches Hospitals Spiritual or other Colledges The Hollander So it is and so enacted and established in the assembly of the aforenamed High-mighty Lords the States generall in the Earles-Hage the six and twentith day of February in the yeare of sixteen hundreth two and twenty and there printed by Hillebrand Iabobson sworne printer vnto the High-mighty Lords the States generall The Brabander Heerby I am brought to vnderstand that this Placcart of the High-minded Lords the States is printed in the Earles-Hage Ergo There is an Earle to whome this Hage appertayneth this Earle notwithstanding that he is lawfully issued and descended and consequently the true heyre vnto those ancient Earles that haue gouerned there yet is he of new States which are no Earles wholy thurst out who haue now made thereof a States-Hage but must neuerthelesse suffer it to continue the name of an Earles-Hage in memory of the true claime which the Earle owner thereof hath vnto it Heere then is this Placcart printed by Hillebrand Iacobson sworne Printer vnto the High-minded Lords the states wherby may be noted that this sworne Printer vnto those States is not to leaue out any lye that they shall please to giue him in any Placcart of theirs to print for feare of being found periured The Hollander The Lords the States do giue him no lyes to print The Brabander Doe they punish him when lyes are found printed in their Placcarts The Hollander He is not punished because no such lyes are found The Brabander They that know not a lye from a truth or will not know it fynd it not but they that can discerne vntruthes from truthes can find them out albeit they stand in established Proclamatiōs of highly named Netherland States And surely this must needes proue a more lucky Placcart then many forgoing haue proued if no lyes were to be found in it and especially where there is mention made of Iesuytes and Ecclesiasticall persons The Hollander Indeed the Iesuytes in this Placcart are called a pernicious murtherous sect that they of this sect other priests Friars and spiritual or religious named persons of the Romish Religion doe endeauour to bring the good inhabitants of these vnited Netherland Prouinces by meanes of their fals doctrine Idolatry to an auersion from their lawfull Superiours to the murthering of Princes and Potentates to instruct them in all kyndes of treason agaynst them thereby to preferre the Tyranny and absolute Domination of the King of Spayne and his adherents in worldly and of the Pope of Rome and his dependants in spirituall causes The Brabander Haue I not ghessed right I see now that this Placcart will not for lacke of lyes make any fore-going Placcart ashamed for heere they fall so fast one vpon another that I had need of some breathing tyme to note them The Iesuytes are heere named a pernicious and murtherous sect which is a shamefull lye That the Iesuytes other Priests and spirituall named Persons of the Romish religion doe seeke to bring the inhabitants through their false doctrine to Idolatry is a blasphemous lye That they seeke to bring these inhabitātes to an auersion from their lawfull superiours is a needlesse lye for the Caluinian Preachers and the States themselues haue already done the same That they seeke to bring them to the murthering of Princes and Potentates is a Diuelish lye That they instruct them to all kind of treason agaynst Princes and Potentates is a horrible lye That they seeke in these Countreys to preferre the Tyranny of Spayn is a villanous lye The Hollander It is not inough to say that these are all lyes but they must be prooued so to be The Brabander How els Haue you but the patience that I may haue tyme to doe it Seeing then that the Iesuytes are heere put in the first place and called by the Epithere of a pernicious murtherous sect and that they and other spirituall persons do seeke to procure the murthering of Princes and Potentates this also being a common slaunder and Calumny which dayly rydeth on the serpētine tonges of your Holland Caluinian Ministers It is then needfull to examine and call into consideration what murthers of Princes and Potentates haue hapned in Christendome in this age of ours and since the tyme that the order of the Iesuits by Saint Ignatius de Loyola was founded The number of Princes and Potentates that haue come to such violent and vnfortunate endes I fynd to haue byn eight The first of these was the most Reuerend and Illustrious Lord Melchior Zobel Bishop of Herbipolis and Duke of Franconia in Germany This Prince was cruelly murthered as he was

Fryar as he liued and dyed Heere can I not omit also to note that if so be that for this fact of Iaques Clement the Caluinists should giue vnto the Fryars of S. Dominikes order the name of a Pernicious and Murtherous Sect or that they sought to bring subiects to the murthering of Princes and Potentates they had in all truth done the Religious men of this Order much wrong for there can be no reason that a whole order should beare the blame reproach of the fault that one of the same order hath committed and wherin the others were innocent How much lesse reason can then be found that the Iesuites of whose order no one was euer knowne that euer killed Prince or other person should of slaunderous Gewses be calumniated with the name of a murtherous sect and to be stirrers vp of the inhabitants of Holland to the murthering of Princes and Potentates which were a greater pitty for the inhabitants of Holland to doe considering that Princes Potentates are not among them in so great aboundance vnlesse the meaning of the Placcart should be that the Iesuites and Priestes did intend to imploy the inhabitants of Holland to goe murther Princes and Potentates in other Countreys The eight and last of this vnfortunate number and ranke was Henry the fourth King of France who was murthered by one Francis Rauaillac and if so be the Holland Gewses will make of him a Iesuite also yet the administers of Iustice in France which are as far-seeing as those of Holland and haue throughly enformed themselues of this mans condition and state of life and done their vttermost endeauours to come to the full knowledge of all that might concerne the matter of the Kings death could neuer find that he so was And yet the sharp-sighted states of Holland that can looke further into milstones then other men can better discerne who are the murtherers of Princes and Potentates in other Countreyes then the officers of Iustice themselues in whose handes they happen to fall that commit such criminall facts The Hollander But can there no Princes els be found that haue byn killed or murthered since the Iesuites haue had ther beginning then only these you haue named The Brabander I know not of any more but of this number of eight Marry heere by the way is to be noted that fiue of this number haue byn murthered by Caluinists and three by Catholikes King Henry 3. King Henry 4. both Kings of France William of Nassaw Prince of Orange by Catholikes Melchior Zobell Bishop of Wirtzburge and Duke of Franconia Henry King of Scotland Iames Earle of Murray Francis Duke of Guyse and Mary Queene of Scotland by Caluinists And if thinges had succeeded according to intentions Caluinists had had the honour to haue had six of these eight to haue byn murthered by them for William Prince of Orange before named was in very great possibility to haue byn murthered by a Protestant also and I wot not how many Zeland States with him to haue borne him cōpany in the ayre when he and they should haue byn blowne vp togeather with gunpowder wherof I may take occasion to speake more anone In the meane time behold whether in this odious busynesse of Prince killing Caluinists haue not the precedence by oddes Notwithstanding they cry out so lowd and so falsely vpon Iesuites giuing thē the name of a pernicious and murtherous sect when themselues in this foule fact fall foulest of all that therein are to be touched the Iesuites not found to be touched at all Let all the world now iudge to whome it is that the odious Epithete of Prince-killing is best befitting either to Iesuites or Calumists Who might not laugh at this mad accusation and thinke that reformed Holland-Gewses are turned fooles not knowing what they say They seeme through the vehemency of their malice to be become blind and giue occasion themselues of the manifestation of their owne shame which before lay vndiscouered What strange kindes of Iesuites haue heere byn found among the murtherers of Princes and Potentates The Holland Gewse-reformed brethrē may heere see what comes of lying That their preachers continew their lying in their pulpits I can in some sort tollerate the poore fellowes haue charge of wife children their preaching is their trade to liue by and to mayntaine their families But the worshipfull Lordes the States to lye and to publish lyes in Printed Placcarts that indeed is somwhat to grosse you may please to excuse me for beeing so free with your Lords and States Because He that speaketh what he should not Must heare for his answer what he wold not Me thinkes they that practise lying should in reason become more cūning then to make lyes that are so grosse and palpable and doe indeed bring credit and reputation to Iesuites and shame vnto themselues that spred them for alwayes it is found that when any one is accused and afterward found innocent the accuser is cursed and hated the false accused pittyed beloued and belieued These Caluinian Calumniatours will seeme by calling Iesuites Priests the murtherers of Princes and Potentates as if they poore innocent soules were becom great Care-takers for Princes Potentates safeties This surely is a very suddainly-growne-vp affection they were not wont to be so for me thinks it is not so long ago that Princes can haue forgotten that at such tyme as their subiects rebelled against them the good Hollād-Gewses were alwayes readier to assist their rebelles agaynst them then them against their rebelles I must needes acknowledge some reason why it so should be that is that simile gaudet simili if at this day any Princes find this to be true themselues know it best But further to manifest their good affection to Princes we are to note that it hath not only byn shewed in the fiue aforenamed who they murtherously haue bereft of their liues but also in some vnto whome euen after their deathes they haue shewed indignity and villany as vnto William the Conqueror King of England who was buryed at Cane in Normandie where the French-Hugenotes in their Rebellion in the yeare 1562. vnder conduct of Chastilian when they tooke this towne and spoyled the Churches they brake open the tombe of this great Cōquerer and threw his bones about the streets At Orleans where they also committed their Church-robbery and Sacrilege they brake open the tombe of King Lewys the eleuenth and burnt his bones The bones of Iohn Earle of Angolesme Father to King Francis the first of France who for his vertue deuotion deuotion was reputed as a Saint they suffered not to rest in his sepulcher but threw them out This hate may haue proceeded of two causes the one because he was a Prince the other posible the greatest because of his Sanctity for to the bones of Saints or holy mē haue Caluinists shewed so great hatred that at Towres they tooke the bones of the
