revealed it in time nor used means to prevent it though he did disswade it Finally the Parliament of Paris to make the Jesuits eternally ignominious erected a pillar in the place where Catels house had stood with an inscription that might carry to future ages the infamy of Catels fact attributed to the Jesuits The pillar was erected and the sentence executed in all the Kings dominions except only the Parliament of Tolouse and Bourdeaux and the places depending on that Parliament For the Parliament of Tolouse seeing the injustice of the proceeding commanded that no town or place belonging to their judicature should obey the Act made at Paris All this is related by de Thou Peter Mathien Scipion Duepleix Spondanus and others King Henry sat not yet fast enough in the saddle to contest with the Parliament of Paris For though the Parliaments of France be nothing like our Parliaments of England ours being a representative of the Nation with whom the King can make and unmake lawes theirs only a number of Lawyers in several courts of Judicature to take cognizance of particular cases and crimes yet King Henry thought not fit to scratch the wounds of France not yet well healed by offending them who had so lately been reconciled and had during the Ligue droven a strong interest for the side they took But as soon as the first storme was over he began by little and little to shew his inclinations to the Society hearing willingly those that spoke for them and himself speaking favourably of them till at length when things were ripe for a good issue he resolved to recall them The Parliament of Paris on the contrary endeavoured might main to oppose them and to that end after many other endeavours one of the Presidents by name Harley towards the end of the year 1603. made in a full assembly before the King a long and sharp invective against the Jesuites all tending to this that for the good of the King and Kingdom the Jesuits ought not to be recalled but continue banished When K. Henry had patiently heard him out he was pleased to speak himself and plead for the Society retorting and answering all that Harley had said so dextrously that all admired his vivacity of memory and judgment and his strong nervous eloquence which made him King not only of men but of Eloquence also I mean to set down his speech as it was printed in Latine first then in English in the year 1611. I taking that to be an authentical copy For whereas in the year 1610. the calumnies against the society grew very rife by occasion of the untimely death of Henry the IV. the friends of the Society thought it necessary to reprint the speech then fresh in the memory of many and to joyne it with a declaration wherein the Bishop of Paris declared the Society's innocency and merits and a Constitution of Lewis the XIII by which the Society was confirmed in all the priviledges granted by his father Henry IV. All these were put out together and translated into many languages to confute as in effect they did and silence the calumny of Henry IV. death of which the adversaries of the society had made many stories run in most of the languages of Europe Out of this copy therefore I intend to take the speech But because I have mentioned the death of Henry IV. I will say something of that story before I set down the speech On the 14. day of May 1610 this great King was murdered in his coach by a perfidious villan named Francis Ravaillac who being often examined and tortured alwaies protested that he was never induced by any man living to this fact and further that he had not communicated his design to any Yet they who by Catels fact had triumphed over the society and procured their banishment thinking now they had a good occasion to wreck their malice against the Jesuits in the nonage of their new King whom they could not hurt whilst the father lived spreadmany libels against the Jesuits to make them seem guilty of that horrid Parricide For this purpose they voiced that Ravaillac had learnt his mischief out of Mariana and some did not stick to say that he had all Mariana without book But he being examined was found not to know so much as Mariana's name and besides he never understood latine Howsoever that which might give some colour to the noise was that the school of Sorbon renewed a decree which had been made in the yean 1413. wherein the doctrine of Killing Kings was condemned according to the Council of Constance This decree was made the 4. of July 1610. And the Parliament of Paris soon after caused Mariana's book de Rege et institutione Regis to be burnt which all reflected on the Jesuits Further the Parliament on the 26 of Novem. then following condemued the treatise of Cardinal Bellarmine against Barklay de potestate summi pontificis in temporalibus but the K. of France 4 daies after issued a contrary decree to cashiere that Act of the Parliament and publickly cleered the Jesuites of all suspition of his fathers death The King being then in his minority was assisted by the Qu. Regent his Mother the P. of Conde the Count of Soissons Princes of the blood the D. of Mayenne the L. Chancellour the D. of Espernon of Lacerdeene of Bois Daulphin Marshal of France c. this made the fathers innocency so manifest that none durst any further condemn them All this I have mentioned for two reasons the first is because I find that some English books take up the French slanders and make much of the decree for condemning Bellarmine whereas notwithstanding they might have taken notice that that decree was recalled and annulled by the King Princes and Councel and the Jesuits freed from the aspersion of the Kings death which without any the least appearance of probability was by meer calumny objected to them 2ly I take notice of this decree because it will shew what Judgment the reader make of some other decrees he may guesse by this whether that be not true which Spondanus saith ad annum 1626. numero secundo where having taken notice of the strife of Sorbon concerning Santareles book and the censures of it he hath these words Haec doctorum Sorbonicorum dissidia non aliunde procedebant quam ex occultis schismatis seminibus quae a multis fovebantur These dissentions of the Sorbon Doctours did not proceed from any thing else but from hidden seeds of Schisme which many did nourish This he doth not say nor do I as though the book of Santarel were not justly condemned since the King as Spondamus there saith signified to Sorbon that that book was already suppressed at Rome by the Pope and disowned by all learned men and therefore they needed not trouble themselves with giving their censures But the violence 〈◊〉 ●hese Doctours proceeding 〈…〉 to inclinations bent to Schisme And he addeth
