glorious_a saint_n charles_n archbishop_n of_o milan_n who_o as_o legate_n a_o latere_fw-la to_o his_o holiness_n endeavour_v to_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o religious_a discipline_n but_o what_o

give_v a_o short_a and_o plain_a draught_n of_o their_o course_n and_o custom_n for_o as_o many_o time_n we_o behold_v one_o afflict_a with_o some_o grievous_a infirmity_n send_v forth_o such_o lamentable_a cry_v as_o reach_v heaven_n itself_o and_o every_o one_o perceive_v that_o the_o man_n be_v terrible_o indispose_v but_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o discern_v the_o original_a cause_n of_o his_o evil_n so_o the_o whole_a world_n complain_v of_o the_o jesuit_n some_o for_o be_v persecute_v other_o for_o be_v torture_v and_o some_o for_o be_v treacherous_o serve_v by_o they_o but_o the_o mischief_n still_o remain_v among_o we_o nor_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o easy_o discover_v which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o immense_a desire_n which_o they_o have_v to_o increase_v crease_n their_o own_o power_n in_o respect_n whereof_o they_o esteem_v it_o nothing_o to_o vilify_v or_o murder_v any_o man_n or_o to_o deceive_v prince_n and_o to_o oppress_v the_o poor_a to_o extort_v from_o widow_n their_o estate_n and_o wrong_v the_o fatherless_a what_o shall_v i_o say_v to_o ruinate_v most_o noble_a kingdom_n nay_o many_o time_n by_o their_o intermeddle_v with_o all_o

which_o be_v last_o form_v by_o nature_n as_o a_o instrument_n to_o serve_v the_o rest_n that_o be_v more_o noble_a shall_v attract_v unto_o itself_o all_o the_o pure_a blood_n and_o vital_a spirit_n because_o this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o way_n utter_o to_o dissolve_v the_o whole_a so_o it_o be_v as_o inconvenient_a that_o the_o religion_n of_o the_o jesuit_n plant_v into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n as_o instrument_n for_o the_o conversion_n of_o heretic_n and_o the_o persuade_v of_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n shall_v bring_v within_o their_o own_o power_n all_o the_o most_o

be_v depress_v with_o a_o thovand_a inconvenience_n which_o will_v follow_v upon_o it_o i_o can_v produce_v many_o reason_n take_v from_o experience_n itself_o to_o demonstrate_v what_o a_o ingorgeous_a ambition_n the_o jesuit_n have_v to_o increase_v their_o greatness_n but_o it_o shall_v here_o suffice_v to_o make_v it_o know_v from_o father_n parson_n own_o word_n record_v in_o a_o

to_o the_o form_n and_o state_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n make_v common_a all_o ecclesiastical_a good_n and_o assign_v the_o charge_n of_o they_o unto_o seven_o sagii_fw-la or_o wiseman_n which_o shall_v be_v jesuit_n and_o they_o shall_v make_v distribution_n of_o good_n at_o their_o pleasure_n nor_o be_v it_o his_o will_n nay_o he_o forbid_v it_o under_o a_o grievous_a penalty_n that_o any_o religious_a person_n of_o what_o order_n soever_o shall_v return_v into_o england_n without_o their_o licence_n resolve_v that_o none_o shall_v enter_v there_o but_o those_o who_o shall_v

father_n subjoin_v in_o that_o place_n when_o england_n say_v he_o shall_v once_o be_v reduce_v to_o the_o true_a faith_n it_o will_v not_o be_v convenient_a that_o the_o pope_n at_o the_o least_o for_o five_o year_n space_n shall_v look_v to_o receive_v any_o fruit_n from_o the_o ecclesiastical_a benefice_n of_o this_o kingdom_n but_o remit_v all_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o seven_o wise_a man_n who_o shall_v dispense_v they_o as_o they_o conceive_v best_a for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n this_o be_v his_o design_n that_o the_o first_o five_o year_n be_v past_a by_o some_o other_o invention_n of_o which_o they_o be_v very_o full_a they_o will_v re-confirm_a the_o same_o privilege_n for_o five_o year_n more_o and_o so_o onward_o till_o they_o have_v utter_o exclude_v his_o holiness_n from_o england_n now_o who_o see_v not_o here_o as_o in_o a_o table_n the_o covetousness_n and_o the_o ambition_n of_o the_o jesuit_n natural_o describe_v together_o with_o the_o hearty_a desire_n they_o have_v to_o make_v themselves_o monarch_n and_o who_o see_v not_o with_o what_o cunning_a they_o endeavour_v to_o promote_v their_o own_o design_n procure_v it_o either_o from_o the_o good_a of_o some_o or_o ill_o of_o other_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v more_o of_o they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o gregory_n the_o thirteen_o do_v they_o not_o make_v it_o their_o request_n that_o they_o may_v be_v invest_v of_o all_o the_o parish_n church_n in_o rome_n that_o they_o may_v there_o lay_v a_o foundation_n of_o their_o monarchy_n and_o that_o which_o they_o can_v not_o

of_o protect_v the_o clergy_n like_o a_o raven_a wolf_n persecute_v all_o such_o priest_n as_o be_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o jesuit_n drive_a they_o to_o term_n of_o desperation_n and_o deprive_v they_o under_o a_o great_a penalty_n of_o mutual_a communication_n so_o that_o by_o this_o time_n almost_o all_o the_o english-roman-clergy_n be_v jesuit_n in_o voto_fw-la nor_o do_v they_o accept_v any_o into_o their_o college_n who_o have_v not_o pass_v his_o word_n to_o become_v a_o jesuit_n so_o that_o when_o that_o kingdom_n shall_v return_v to_o the_o ancient_a faith_n england_n will_v be_v like_a to_o give_v a_o beginning_n to_o a_o absolute_a jesuitical_a monarchy_n because_o all_o the_o ecclesiastical_a revenue_n all_o the_o abbey_n benefice_n bishopric_n arch-priestships_a and_o other_o dignity_n shall_v be_v confer_v only_o by_o the_o jesuit_n i_o here_o let_v pass_v many_o thing_n as_o the_o pretension_n which_o they_o make_v concern_v other_o man_n estate_n how_o jealous_a they_o be_v of_o their_o welsare_n and_o desirous_a of_o their_o prosperity_n as_o the_o favour_n which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o gain_v from_o prince_n by_o make_v they_o believe_v that_o their_o subject_n be_v most_o devout_a to_o their_o religion_n and_o consequent_o that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o make_v they_o well-affected_a to_o the_o person_n of_o their_o prince_n such_o evident_a thing_n as_o these_o i_o leave_v to_o every_o one_o to_o observe_v and_o with_o four_o brief_a consideration_n i_o will_v conclude_v this_o present_a discourse_n first_o that_o man_n of_o such_o high_a spirit_n &_o such_o reach_a design_n be_v always_o lover_n of_o novelty_n ever_o search_v for_o it_o &_o beget_v it_o because_o without_o some_o new-raised_a motion_n it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v attain_v their_o end_n and_o therefore_o the_o jesuit_n can_v be_v helpful_a to_o any_o prince_n that_o either_o love_n peace_n or_o the_o conservation_n of_o his_o own_o state_n since_o they_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o much_o trouble_n and_o commotion_n nay_o happy_o to_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o whole_a state_n if_o he_o favour_v not_o their_o party_n or_o be_v not_o partial_o govern_v by_o their_o counsel_n second_o if_o these_o who_o have_v not_o temporal_a jurisdiction_n be_v able_a to_o cause_v such_o great_a and_o prodigious_a disturbance_n in_o the_o world_n what_o think_v you_o will_v they_o do_v if_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v by_o chance_n be_v create_v pope_n first_o he_o will_v stuff_v the_o consistory_n with_o jesuit_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n perpetuate_v the_o popedom_n to_o they_o and_o then_o direct_v themselves_o by_o their_o insight_n and_o interest_n of_o state_n and_o have_v the_o arm_n and_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n they_o will_v be_v enable_v to_o put_v in_o danger_n the_o state_n of_o many_o prince_n especial_o of_o those_o who_o be_v neighbour_n and_o confiner_n three_o it_o will_v be_v the_o design_n of_o that_o pope_n if_o he_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n to_o invest_v their_o order_n of_o some_o city_n or_o temporal_a jurisdiction_n with_o the_o which_o they_o will_v afterward_o make_v way_n for_o a_o thousand_o other_o design_n which_o they_o can_v never_o effect_v without_o the_o damage_n of_o other_o prince_n four_o when_o the_o consistory_n shall_v be_v entire_o jesuit_v the_o whole_a patrimony_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v in_o their_o hand_n and_o as_o one_o that_o have_v the_o dropsy_n the_o more_o he_o drink_v the_o more_o he_o thirst_v so_o their_o ambition_n grow_v with_o their_o greatness_n will_v occasion_v a_o vast_a inundation_n of_o trouble_n in_o the_o world_n now_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o subject_a unto_o change_n than_o matter_n of_o state_n these_o father_n with_o all_o their_o power_n and_o crafty_a cunning_n will_v endeavour_v to_o alter_v the_o whole_a course_n of_o government_n that_o they_o may_v final_o introduce_v the_o form_n and_o project_n of_o their_o own_o government_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v absolute_o immonarchize_v themselves_o they_o have_v have_v it_o long_o in_o their_o head_n to_o gain_v into_o their_o society_n the_o son_n of_o some_o prince_n who_o shall_v absolute_o invest_v the_o company_n of_o his_o state_n and_o this_o they_o have_v long_o since_o attain_v if_o some_o other_o wise_o spy_v out_o their_o design_n have_v not_o prevent_v they_o but_o have_v they_o once_o obtain_v that_o they_o will_v without_o any_o difficulty_n have_v make_v themselves_o patron_n of_o the_o state-ecclesiastical_a and_o as_o they_o be_v very_a invective_n and_o subtle_a they_o will_v afterward_o have_v find_v out_o a_o thousand_o way_n how_o to_o enlarge_v it_o thus_o they_o will_v have_v want_v no_o mean_n that_o may_v make_v they_o master_n of_o their_o project_n and_o if_o nothing_o else_o will_v have_v do_v it_o the_o jealousios_n which_o they_o will_v have_v raise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o their_o confine_a prince_n will_v have_v do_v they_o no_o small_a service_n it_o be_v therefore_o most_o necessary_a that_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o public_a peace_n and_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o state_n for_o the_o increase_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o for_o the_o common_a good_a of_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o they_o be_v utter_o root_v out_o of_o all_o
