Imprimatur Novemb. 16. 1678. THE JESUITS MANNER of CONSECRATING Both the PERSONS and WEAPONS Imploy'd for the Murdering KINGS and PRINCES By them accounted HERETICKS Being Matter of Fact Translated out of Hospinian's History of the Jesuits pag. 366. Printed at Zurich in the Year 1672. LONDON Printed by T. S. in the Year 1678. This Account is extant in a Process Printed at Delph by John Andrea Book-seller and quoted by Hospinian in the following words THE Jesuites have ready prepar'd for having so much mony at command they can take Leases where they please several Mansions of Rest and Beatitude so order'd by vertue of their Transcending Charms ready hung fitted and furnish'd for the reception of those Ajaxe's who being more stout then subtle are by them drawn in and inveigled to the barbarous execution of what they more barbarously meditate and consult Those deluded Villains and Religious Braves they bless they sanctifie and canonize at length for Saints assuming to themselves a large Canton in Heaven for their reward The person whose silly reason the Jesuites have once overcome with their more potent Arguments is immediately conducted into their Sanctum Sanctorum design'd for prayer and meditation There the Dagger is produc'd choicely wrapt up in a linnen safeguard enclos'd in an Ivory Sheath engrav'd with several aenigmatical Characters and accompanied with an Agnus Dei Certainly a most monstrous copulation so unadvisedly to intermix the height of murdrous Villany and the most sacred emblem of Meekness together This Dagger thus unsheath'd is hypocritically be dew'd with holy water and the handle as soon adorn'd with a certain number of Coral Beads thereby ascertaining the credulous Fool that as many effectual stabs as he gives the assassinated Prince so many souls he should redeem out of Purgatory upon his own account Then they deliver the Dagger into the Parricide's hand with a solemn recommendation in these words Elected Son of God receive the Sword of Jephta the Sword of Sampson the Sword of David wherewith he smote off the head of Goliah the Sword of Gideon the Sword of Judith the Sword of the Maccahees the Sword of Pope Julius the second wherewith he freed himself from the prosecution of Princes after he had defil'd several Cities with the effusion of

another Line confirm and strengthen we beseech thee this Instrument of thine whom we have consecrated and dedicated to that sacred Office that he may be able to accomplish thy will Grant him the Habergeon of thy Divine Omnipotency that he may be enabled to escape the hands of his pursuers Give him wings that he may escape the hands of all that lye in wait for his destruction Infuse into his soul the beams of thy consolation to uphold and sustain the weak fabrick of his body that contemning all fear he may be able to shew a chearful and lively countenance in the midst of present torments

Which Ceremonies being ended there are only five Jesuites deputed to converse with and keep the Parricide Company Who in their common discourse make it their business upon all occasions to fill his ears with their divine wheedles making him believe a certain celestial splendour to be shining in his countenance by the beams whereof they are over-awd to throw themselves down before him and to kiss his feet appearing to them now no more a mortal but transfigur'd into a Deity And lastly in a deep dissimulation they bewail themselves and feign a kind of Envy at the happiness and eternal Glory which he is so suddainly to enjoy exclaiming thus before the Credulous Manslayer Would to God the Lord had chosen me in thy stead and had so ordred it by this means that being freed from the pains of Purgatory I might go directly without let into Paradise But if the person whom they imagin proper to attempt the Parricide prove any thing squeamish or reluctant to their exhortations then by nocturnal Scare-crows and affrighting apparitions or by the suborn'd appearances of the Holy Virgin or some other of the Saints even of Ignatius Loyola himself or some of his most celebrated Associates they terrifie the soon retriv'd misbeliever into a complyance with a ready prepar'd oath which they inforce him to take and wherewith they animate and encourage his staggering Resolution Thus these villanous and impious Doctors in the Art of Murder and Parricide sometimes by the terrours of punishment sometimes by the allurements of merit enslame the courages of the unwary and having entangl'd them in the noozes of sacrilegious and bloody attempts precipitate both soul and body into eternal condemnation Story mentions a sort of People formerly notorious in the Eastern parts of the world whom the most Historians call Assassins that is to say murderers of Princes and great men These being followers of the Mahometan Religion instituted a new Sect of which the first founder was Aloadim accounted a Saint and a Prophet by those of his own Gang. This Order soon began to flourish being more remarkable then any other of the Mahometan belief for the beauty of their Colledges and the pleasantness of their Habitations Which were confirm'd upon them with large endowments for the Instruction of youth in the Mahometan profession among whom they had the priviledg to cull out the boldest resolutions and the choicest Fancies The Principal Tenents of this sect were these 1. That Mahomet was the Prophet of God the restorer of lost mankind and the rewarder of Good and Evil. 2. That the Chief and Prince of this sect was his Vicar
