specially in philosophy diuinitie and controuerses against hereses wherein they defend their conclusions and publique acts with so great satisfaction and approbation of the whole vniuersitie as they are loued and esteemed not only in this citie but of the graue and learned persons of al these kingdomes eclesiasticall and tēporal and diuers of them haue adopted some one some moe of these studēts for their childeren prouiding them of maintenance and apparrel comforting them with gifts and lettrrs and visiting them in person as they were theire owne children and the Bishops when they take holy orders and whole cities in occasions making demonstration of theire good wil and affection towards them in so much as these two yeares past memorable for general famin and plage when many families and cōmunities that enioy great liuings rents found them selues ouercharged this Colledge mayntened 60. or 70. persons without want of any thing necessarie through Gods holy prouidence who hath care in such occasions to susteine at his owne expenses those that leaue theire parents and countrie for his holy name as at other times he hath done with Daniel Elias S. Athanasius and many other of his seruantes Finally this good wil and estimation is so much the more to be accounted of as it is more vniuersal and procedeth from persons of more iudgment and authoritie in which kinde may be rekned the extraordinarie demonstratiō of fauour which the high counsayles of these kingdomes haue shewed of late to this Inglish Colledge moued thereunto by the Earle of Ponion rostro don Francisco Arias de Bouadilla who hauing bin Coronel in Flandres many yeares and seeing the rigorous persecution in Ingland and the constancie of the Catholikes and after knowne the Inglish Colledge of Ciuil the time hee was gouerner of that citie hath taken such affection to this Colledge that he dealeth in their businesse with no lesse care then if they were his owne childeren and so vpon occasion of two twentie students that came this yeare almost altogether he presented petitions to the Counsayles in his owne name with al gaue them bookes of the historie newly published by the late kinges Confessor of the persecution of Ingland and a paper cōtayning diuers reasons to moue affection towards these Seminaries which he caused to bee printed for the purpose and is worthy to be set as it shal be downe at the end of his relation as wel for testimonie of this good noblemans zeale affectiō as for your highnesse who cannot chose to receiue contentment seeing layd together and wel declared the grounds and foundation of the fauours which your self and the most renowmed kings your father your brother haue shewed in sucouring this people that so much deserueth to be sucoured the same is no smal testimonie of the passion and blindnesse which heresie hath bred in those of England which persecute euen to death these innocēt lambes of their owne coūtrey bloud who one the other side strangers of a different nation are forced only for the example of their good life vertue to loue so tenderly with so general approbatiō as may bee seene in the fauours benefits which dayly they receiue of theire Maiesties and your highnesse and so many other principal persons of these kingdōs now lately of these counsayles and communities which is the greatest testimonie that can be of the general affection that is borne them For notwithstanding the fauour and affectiō which any Prince or Prelate sheweth to a worke of this qualitie doth much commend and authorise it yet many times it may proceed of a particular deuotion therefore is not so great a testimony nor so vniuersal as his other approbation but that so many counsayls as haue cōcurred of late to fauour this worke so many persons of authoritie as be in them in whose wisdome and discretion resteth the gouermēt of so many kingdomes countries which do not easylie concurre in the qualification approbatiō of any thing wherein may be doubt should so vnite and conioyne them selues in one mind and affectiō not only to approue but to fauour succor an other natiō and in a thing vnaccustomed hetherto not seene in any other occasion where only one negatiue voyce had bin sufficient to hinder the graunt this I cannot see how any man can doubt to be his dispositiō handy worke by whom Reges regnant legum conditores iusta decernunt Kings do reigne and lawgiuers make iust decrees therby to giue euident testimonie to the world that he wil make famous and ennoble this his worke to the greater confusion of the heretiks his enemyes who seek by al meanes possible to calumniat ouerthrow and destroy it VVherefore there is no reason that those whom God most merifully calleth to this holy worke no lesse hard then glorious should be dismayed or lose hart with the troubles and new difficulties which arise in it euery day by the subtile meanes of the enemie of truth seing his diuine Maiestie one the other syde hath such particular care to prouide diligent workmen and labors for this his beloued vineyard whose learning confoundeth the ignorance of their enemies there valor and vertue the others malice and there magnanimitie and patience the others cruelty vpholding and mayntaining by these meanes the Catholike faith agaynst al the power of the Prince of darknes If then God hath effectuated the conuersion of other countries and of England also at other times by only one or two or by some smal number of good men what may wee hope for now of so many faithful seruants and workemen of his as be in that countrie and of the prouident care which as wee see he hath to cal so many chosen youth as euery day with singular strange vocations come as a new supply to the Seminaries where being brought vp trayned and exercised in vertue learning the armes where with they must fight against heresie they become as valiāt Capitaines in this spiritual warfare of the Church as were Cyrus Hannibal Alexander Augustus Caesar and Dauid in theire temporal warres for that they began to exercise themselues in them betimes as their histories reporte what may wee then hope for but a short and happie end of this combate sithence they go to it with the skil courage and fortitude that becometh the soldiours of Christ as there imperisonment theire disputations with the heretikes theire torments deathes do testifie so as iustly wee may say that these be of the number of the wise childeren which as the holy ghost sayeth bring ioy and comfort to theire parents not only comfort but honour to them and libertie to there country and as God chose the banished childeren of Babylon for instrumentes to worke and shew forth his glory who rather chose to enter into the hot burning fornace in testimonie of there true religion then to adore the idol where by the king came to
