of that Cloister and are bounde to pray for the Emperours good successe in all his affaires The Emperours of the Turkes oftentimes consulte with these Monkes touching the state of his Empire they foretel him what mishap is like to chance in his enterprises and prognosticate the euent of all his procéedinges These Monkes neuer departe out of their cloysters except vpon some great and vrgent occasion This order is not farre vnlike to the Carthusians order for they are seldome séene out of their cloisters An other order is of them that goe a begging from doore to doore with great beades aboute their armes and crye Allah Mahomet saue you good dame and good maister I wil pray for the soule of your fathers and mothers and of your Grandsiers allah blesse you little children We see say they that these children of yours are like to come to high degree of honour This pilgrime who liued fourtéene yeeres at least as captiue amongest these Turkes in his historie maketh mention of their begging from house to house suche flattering I thinke they vse as these Iesuites doe when they are commaunded to goe a begging These Monkes are like the Iesuites in superffition and idolatry These Turkishe Monkes neuer goe a begging but when their rectour or their prouost commandeth them So the Iesuites in like manner when they are commanded by their generall or rectour to goe a begging they must needes obey yea admitte hee be a preacher a confessour a publique professour of diuinitie or philosophie or of any other science if hée bée commaunded to take wallet and bottle hée must néedes doe it and may not denie vnlesse hée will incurre his superiours displeasure Father Peter father Ioseph Iesuites of the English Seminarie tolde me that the vicegenerall being a gentleman man borne of most noble parentage was commanded at his firste enteraunce into the societie of Iesus to carrie a basket to bée solde which basket being not woorth vi d He was willed notwithstanding to receiue no lesse then a crowne and as for his dinner hée shoulde begge it at other mens houses abroad in the citie of Rome This man being cōmaunded to goe sel his basket did so and as hée sought to sell it being very olde and rotten all men laughed him to skorne and when they knewe the price which hee demaunded for the basket they derided him the more and cryed what meanest thou thou soole to séeke v.s. for thy baskette béeing not worth v. .d. This thing was done by his superiours to proue his pacience and to try how wel he would frame himselfe to their orders as this Nouice being sometimes a Lorde by byrth and riche in possessions suffered himself to bée laughed of all sortes of people and as hée went about the marked places of Rome and walked in euery street hée met by chance with one that in time past had béene his seruaut this Nouice Iesuite knew him not but this man that had béene his sernaunt in time past knewe the saide Nouice Iesuite verye well and saining as though hée had not knowen him he came vnto him asked him the price of his basket This Nouice answered v.s. then hée that had béene his seruaunt gaue him v. s according to his owne demaunde And when this Nouice Iesuite had added moreouer that hée was commaunded to séeke his dinner abroad then this man inuited him to dinner The duke of Millans sonne and heire was inchaunted by these Iesuites to forsake his father his mother and all the fréendes that hée had yea to renounce his inheritaunce that shoulde haue befallen into his handes after the decease of his father This noble youth tobecome a Iesuite regarded no worldly wealth nor princely promotion But this young Gentleman was abused very much as you may heare as follow eth They caused him not only to practise the arte of begging but also to sast and to whippe himselfe so often hauing neyther respect to his tender and féeble state of bodie by reason of his delicate education on and bringing vp neither yet to his vnaccustomed manner in so chastising him beyonde al reason and measure that he fell into a pitifull consumption in so much that being worne and consumed to the bare bones he died The parentes in sundrye Cities of Italie crie out against these new sect of Iesuites for they seduce their children to their sect and with their flattering woordes fatre spéeches and large promises of great giftes at Christs handes in the heauenly citie Hierusalem they deceiue and corrupt the towardely dispositions of many a youth to vertue and Christian religion and abuse them vnto all vngodlynesse and heresies In Rome Anno domi 1579. There was a young Gentleman of great reputation amongst the Romanes this man beeyng heire to his father deceased was beewitched with such an immoderate desir to be a Iesuite that neither his mother nor any freinde that hee had coulde perswade him to the contrary At last he was admitted into the societie of Iesuites and being amongest the Iesuites his mother made earnest supplication vnto the Pope that her sonne being commaunded by his holinesse letters directed vnto the generall might bée be put out of their societie and might returne vnto her and peaceably inioy that which his father had bequeathed him in his last will and Testament Now as shée demaunded of the Pope to haue her sonne released set frée from the societie of Iesu so it came to passe But yet the Iesuites hauing accesse vnto the youngmā so incensed his minde with the loue of their profession the being kept for a space in a close chamberr vnder a false and forged pretence of looking for his shyrt to bée made warme before the fire hée conueied himselfe out of the chamber and came directly to the Iesuites Colledge Of many such coulde I make rehear all but the time doth not permit nor my leasure doth suffer me to say more hereof then is alreadie saide Trisander It was told mée that the Iesuites take greate paynes to informe youth in learning vertue what say you doe they so or not Diawinckiani They do informe the youth with such austeritie and in suche ord●r that they are become odious too most Studentes as may plainly appeare by this example following In the Romane Colledge Anno Domini 1580. there was a Iesuite slaine by a Student of the Colledge and because belike the Iesuite had offended the Student too too much the Superiours of that Colledge suffered the Student to depart without any manner accusation The Iesuites in that Colledge oftentimes were hurte by the Students for their proud and hawty mynde in seeking to ouerrule them The like happened in many other Colledges of Italy as it was told mée trauelling the Countrey but for this thing that was done at Rome I know it my selfe to bée true béeing at that present at Rome a scholler in the English Seminary For about this time German a priest the Popes Scholler

vertues and such as the Gentiles had or whether they all lacked those Christian vertues which are the fruits of the Christian faith whether thy demaunde be of the first or of the second tell mée without any dissimulation Trisander I aske whether all popes that arrogantly claimed to them selues Supremacie in earth and the false pretensed succession of Peter in the Sée Apostolike were prophane in conuersation of life Panteleon There were no such arrogant Popes but they liued only Christianlike and as their religion was repugnant to Gods worde so their life and maners were contrarie to the commandement of the liuing God Trisander But father can you tell their names and how impiously they liued Panteleon What their names were I knowe and what their maners were likewise I knowe of certentie but forasmuch as I haue said somwhat of Pope Gregorie the xiii I thinke it not amisss to tell what his predecessour was and howe hée came to the Popedome this Pope Pius Quintus descended of very poore Parentage as at Rome is reported of him At Minerua hée was a Dominican Friar for a certaine space then hée became Pryor of that Monasterie at what time Cardinall Morone was suspected for one that sauoured not of Popishe religion Wherefore this Pryor Dominican was sent by the Pope to heare Cardinall Morons confession which when hée vndertooke and thought to haue hearde the Cardinals confession hée was reiected for that hée was neyther Bishop nor Cardinall But a poore Fryar This Dominican returned backe againe to the Popes Courte and tolde the Pope that Cardinall Morone disdained to take him for his confessor being no Cardinal but a poore Dominican The Pope hearing these wordes was muche out of pactence he was sore offended and his wrath was so kindeled that in his angrie moode hée called for a Cardinals hatte and gaue it vnto this Dominican willing him foorthwith to go againe to Cardinall Morone Now when hée came Cardinall like Cardinall Morone submitted himselfe yeelded to make his confession before him to answere to any Article that hée had to lay againste him and in his examination hée shewed him selfe conformable to the Popes Lawes It happened afterwardes that this Pope dyed and then as the order is the Colledge of Cardinals assembled together in a certaine appointed place of the Popes Courte to elect and choose amongest themselues some méete man to take vpon him the charge of so great and Sathanicall function The whole Colledge of Cardinalles that were present there except this one Dominican Cardinall gaue their assent and consent to this Cardinall Morone that hee shoulde haue béene Pope but when this Dominican Cardinal was asked why hée gaue not his voyce with the rest he made this answere I will neuer saith hée giue my voyce to any person suspected of heresie Then spake Cardinall Morone I will not be Pope though I might Heereupon all the Cardinals were willing that this Cardinall Morone should elect whom he best fansied to bée Pope of Rome which thing beeing graunted vnto him hée vttered these wordes saying I knowe none more worthie to bée made Pope then the Cardinall of Alexandria who refused to giue his voyce to my election for that some time I was suspected to bée an Heretike a worthier man then hée to beare rule may seldome or neuer bée found though wée sought for one through out the worlde Therefore séeing your graces good wil and pleasure was that I shoulde choose whom I best liked to the Popedome I nominate and pronounce this Cardinall of Alexandria These wordes thus vttered euery Cardinall in his degrée doing obeysance came and kissed this newe Popes féete This Pope had a nephewe supposed of some Romans to haue béene his bastarde whome hée created Cardinall ouer that Citie Alexandria whereof he himselfe had béene Cardinal before This his nephewe or rather as the common bruite or same goeth at Rome was bounde apprentise to a poore Tailour who dwelleth in the Englishe Seminarie at Rome and because hée was altogether vnapt for that science this poore taylour came vnto his vncle the aforesaid Pope Pius Quintus but then a Dominicā Frier in the monasterie of Minerua and tolde him that his nephewe was vnfitte to bée a taylour for that hée sawe no towardnesse at all in him touching that Art But sée now my sonne howe fortune fauoureth fooles howe shée exalteth the vnworthie For this felow the Popes nephewe can scarce reade his Masse booke much lesse vnderstande it and yet loe on a sodaine hée is created Cardinall of Alexandria This Pope his vncle as the report goeth was a better practicioner in hearing Nunnes confessions and fitter to play the Cooke then to supplie an office and roome of suche high dignitie to the which the Maiestie of Emperours kings by the iudgement of the Papistes is counted inferiour This Pius Quintus at the first was a beggar then afterwardes hee became a Dominican Friar and consequently a Cardinal and in fine a Pope Thus fortune exalted him to high degrées of promotion The recordation and remembrance of his pristinate and former state before fortune had smiled on him shoulde by right haue moued him to bee humble and lowly to all men in his Papall Maiestie Trisander Truely Father as for his base estate of byrth if his vertues were good or if his excellencie of wit was suche that it surpassed the wisedome of others I dde not weigh nor make any account nor doe so vilely thinke of his simple Parents that therefore I shoulde esteeme him vnworthie to haue béene as hee was promoted to a higher degree of function Panteleon Louing sonne to the derogation of his promotion I speake not a worde and as for his Papall dignitie it dothe not touche mee who hath it or who euer had it either noble or vnoble poore or riche But mine intention was to tell thee howe at the first hée became Chapline to Sainte Dominicke then afterwardes Chamberlaine to Beelzebub and last of all sonne to Lucifer by marriage For hee married his begotten daughter pride Trisander From suche offices and degrées of function good Lorde deliuer vs. I pray you father will you shewe mee if you can what his lyfe was being Pope Panteleon Yes that I can and hew hée liued I will declare to thée as followeth Hée was a blooddy persecutor of the Christians and caused many a faithfull beléeuer of the Gospell most lamentably to bée burned yea hée was the cause of that butcherly effusion of Christian blood at Paris and in all other places of Fraunce His successour Gregorie xiiii wickedly allowed the cruell handeling formentes shewed vpon the great Admirall of Fraunce the instrument of God for defence of true religion and for the consolation of the afflicted Christians Whiche facte is entred in marble stone in the imperiall hall of the Popes Court artificially set foorth but to speake of Pius Quintus this Pope was certified by a certaine Cardinall that in Rome there was an noble
