A30470	The story of Jetzer, taken out of Dr. G. Burnet's letters with a collection of miracles wrought by popish saints, during their lives, and after their deaths, out of their own authours, for information of all true-hearted Protestants : with a prefatory discourse, declaring the impossibility and folly of such vain impostures.

his Horse in a most barbarous manner In which his extremities he implored the aid of St. Ignatius who presently presented himself to him in these exigents and laying hold of his Cloak bore off with both hands the Blows of his Enemies so that at last his Enemies being departed and the B. Father vanished he found himself safe and without hurt saving that his Hat and other Garments were pierced A certain Lady at Avignon had a Son much afflicted with a violent continual Fever who besides the Disease it self with the violence of it had one of his Hands disjoynted and in a deformed manner turned the wrong side outward so that in the opinion of the Physicians he was in danger of the loss of his Hand if not of his Life with it which lamentable case a certain Religious Woman allied to the sick Youth compassionating vowed three Masses and as many Wax Candles to St. Ignatius for the health of her Kinsman which done the Youth immediately recovered and for a more infallible confirmation of the Miracle his Hand was replaced in the right place At Barcelona one Elizabeth Rebelles a Religious Woman being in some high place busie about her work upon a sudden unfortunately tumbled headlong to the ground and received so sore a blow that her Thigh-bone which is the solidest Bone of the Body was utterly broken the Physician and Chirurgion were immediately called who for more than forty days together with what diligence was possible applied all the Remedies their Arts afforded howbeit to little purpose in conclusion the sick Woman was brought to those terms that in all Mens judgments she was past recovery and as it was conceived could not last longer than that day yet notwithstanding as soon as a Relick of St. Ignatius was applied to her heart she presently recovered One Hierome Humphrey a Boy of ten years of age upon one of his Eye-brows near the Temples had received a mortal wound which occasioned an inflammation in his Eye and cast him into a Fever for which the Chirurgion had him in a cure a month not being able to help him for the wound did not only not heal but grew so wide that it received a tent of a finger long and voided so much filth as amazed the Chirurgion The Mother of the Child made a Vow to St. Ignatius commending her Child to him and behold when another Chirurgion in the mean time having been called for the better consulting about the Cure the bands of the sore were unfolded they found the wound perfectly healed closed up and sound One Ferdinando Pertel having fallen into a Tertian Ague which afterward proved to be a double Tertian and at last a pestilent Fever with a kind of raving and fearfull horrour of his Senses was forsaken by the Physicians and lay in his last Extremity being prepared with all the Rites of the Church and invoking St. Ignatius whose Picture he held in his hand he began suddenly to recover and was cured of his Disease One Anne Barzellona a Wom●● of sixty years of age having for about the space of two years been so miserably strucken with the Palsie that she was unfit for any labour and unable without Crutches to go up and down stairs and with her Crutches also seemed rather to creep than go which when the application of Remedies would not help and she besides was taken with an Apoplexy in her other side so that she became impotent and was confined to her Bed finding her self thus void of all humane help by the assistence of her Crutches and one Margaret her Sister she betook her self to a Chapel of St. Ignatius two hours travelling distant from her Lodging where making a Vow in honour of St. Ignatius immediately she began to find her self better and was able to bow her Knee which before was grown stiff and having ended her Devotions arose full of contentment and returned a joyfull Woman nimbly to her Lodging A Bone and Superscription of St. Ignatius being applied to the Eyes of a certain Widow of Majorca called Iane Clara Noguera who was Blind restored her to sight Divers other Miracles of St. Ignatius are related in a late Life of his set forth by Father Pedro Ribadeneira in Spanish Printed at Madrid in the year 1601 and Translated by others into Latin Greek Italian the Polish and other Languages and published in the chief Cities of Italy Spain France Germany and other places where such as are curious to peruse them may find them Miracles wrought by Saint Francis Xaverius and Saint Philip Nerius taken out of Chapt. 18 and 20. of the fore-mentioned Book Upon the Frontiers of Piscaria he raised a Boy who for many hours together had lain drown'd in a Well In the Town of Mutan in like manner he raised another Boy who dying of a Pestilential Fever had remained dead four and twenty hours At Comire he rais'd a third Body which had lain buriedunder the Earth a a whole day together Near the Promontory of Comori he rais'd a Girl not far from that place a certain married Woman In the Island of Vaccare near Zeilan the Son of a certain Infidel At Malaca the Daughter of one who had been lately converted At Bembari a certain Boy Another at Comari At Punical he raised a Man who had lain dead a whole day Near Manapar he raised one Antoni Miranda At Malaca a certain man's Daughter who had been three days buried and overwhelmed with Earth He restored to Life in like manner the Son of one Mahomet Serangio who had lain three days under Water to omit others raised by him in his Life time After his Death he restored almost as many to Life In the Processes of his Canonization mention is made of above five and twenty persons raised by him from death to life He often restored blind men to their sight dispossessed possessed persons cured many lying desperate and given over by the Physicians healed Lepers calmed tempestuous Seas preserved Ships from Wrecks restored the Lame to their Limbs and recovered men stricken with the Palsie He foretold infallibly many things to come penetrated mens concealed thoughts had a certain knowledge of Secrets and things absent He appeared in divers places far distant at one and the self-same time he spake several Languages which he had never learned as readily congruously and eloquently as if he had been born and bred among those Nations And it fell out oftentimes that at such times as he preached to multitudes of people men of several Nations at the same time heard him utter their own Language and with one and the self-same Answer he often satisfied the demands of several Infidels He was so ravished and transported with the desire and love of God that he was often and miraculously raised from the ground with a countenance inflamed eyes sparkling and fixed upon the Heavens and being surcharged with Celestial joy was forced to exclaim Sat est Domine Sat est By the sign of

commenced by the Authority of the Ordinaries first and afterwards by that of the See Apostolick more than 200 Miracles are related wrought by the Merits and Intercession of St. Ignatius after his decease besides which there are divers others as authentical not yet published because those former for his Canonization were more than sufficient confirmed nevertheless by the grave Testimonies of Men beyond exception and Printed at Rome and other Parts of Italy in Spain and in Germany and other Places by the approbation of them whom it concerneth to approve them Here only I will relate some few because my brevity promised will not permit many When the Body of St. Ignatius lay exposed upon the Bier for the performance of his Funeral Rites one Bernadina a Roman had a vehement desire to bring a Daughter of hers who had been long troubled with the Hemorrhoids so grievously that no art of Physick could cure her to kiss the Hands of his dead Body assuring her self the recovery of her Daughter by that touch but the Daughter transported oftentimes by the press of People not being able for the throng to approach near the Body her Mother laid hold of a piece of his Garment and had no sooner applied it to her Daughters Body but she was quit of her Disease Father Nicholas Bobadilla having been long sick of an Ague was recovered by lying in the Bed of St. Ignatius At Manresa a certain Lady of Quality feeling no living motion of her Child in her Womb for the space of three hours before she was brought to Bed at last was delivered of a dead Child the unfortunate success of which being much lamented by the standers by the rather because the Child had not been Christened the Midwife about half an hour after the delivery of the Woman implored with confidence the help of St. Ignatius and had scarce begun her Prayers but the Child before pale and black returned now to Life St. Ignatius being besought for the Life of a little dead Infant of an Indian Woman restored the Child to Life He restored many blind Men their Sight deaf Men their Hearing lame Men their Limbs cured Men stricken with the Palsie others given over by the Physicians and lying at death's door he restored perfectly to their Health He appeared to many after his decease either delivering them from grievous tentations or freeing them from their Diseases or other dangers or giving them good Counsel or foretelling things to come or comforting such as served him with divine Consolations and in his Journey to Heaven at the very instant of his decease at Rome as afterwards appeared by computation of Hours he appeared in Glory to that Noble and Religious Lady Margareta de Lilus commending the Society to her as a principal Benefactress of the College of Bolonia Many Devils have been cast out of possessed Persons and out of Houses which they haunted by the Relicts of the Holy Father or by hanging up his Picture The Oil of the Lamp which burns before his Body hath wrought many strange Cures He hath eased many Women who have called upon him in the extremity of their Child-bearing Labours and bestowed Children upon barren Women At Carpentras a certain Woman being delivered of a Child without motion and of the Complexion of a Blackmoor so that it was doubtfull what course was to be taken in this prodigious accident whether the Child ought to be Christened or no or whether it were to be deferred till some motion were discovered in it at last by the persuasion of a certain Canon they implored the aid of St. Ignatius by which the Child was suddenly not recovered only but so recovered that his Countenance became chearfull and fair He cured divers of the Pleurisie He protected many Men from the fury of their Enemies others being fallen head-long from some dangerous precipice were defended from all hurt by invoking his Name At Cesenza one Angelo Lopez upon the Eve of St. Ignatius in expression of his affection had filled his Windows with many Paper-Lanthorns adding to each Lanthorn the Picture of the Saint and with infinite demonstrations of gratulation repeated often these words Io Loyola B. Pater io but in the midst of this triumph by chance it came to pass that by the greatness of the Wind the Fire had taken hold of his Lanthorns which when it was observed by some Rascality of the Vulgar they began to scoff at his devotion upbraiding the man for his superstition and with a bitter allusion to his Motto of Triumph invert the words of it thus At at Beatus uritur At Loyola crematur At which the man growing infinitely out of patience out of his sense of this irreligion used to St. Ignatius And I for my part quoth he have so high an esteem of the Sanctity of the B. Father that I believe him to be able to protect his singed Picture from the Fire Neither was he deceived in his belief for the flame having consumed the Paper round about it forbore to touch the Picture either in demonstration of the Sanctity of the B. Father or in observancy of the zeal of him who desired it At Braga a certain Woman having been lately brought to bed was so much weakened for many days after with a continual Flux of Bloud that life could hardly be kept in her from following the course of the Flux who drinking of the water into which her Child had been dipped having been wrapped immediately before in the Garments of Saint Ignatius her Flux suddenly stopped and she recovered her accustomed strength In the Town of Gumarent a certain Woman having lost the use of her Sight and Hearing and received the Holy Oil and other Rites of the Church lay utterly out of her senses and whilst some about her out of Devotion were endeavouring to put her in mind of her last words a certain Woman who in courtesie came to visit her called to remembrance that a little piece of the Girdle St. Ignatius used in his life time having lately been sent to her by a Son of hers of the Society which she with great Confidence and Reverence towards God presently applied to the sick Woman which done she began to recover her senses by degrees to breath to stretch out her Hands and make signs for Meat to the Admiration of the Physicians for the suddenness of the Cure. All which things were afterwards confirmed by the Attestation of sworn Witnesses At Caglari a certain elder Brother snatching up a Knife at dinner time hurt his younger Brother in the Eye and at the same time the Daughter of a certain Gentlewoman carving at the Table was sorely hurt in like manner in one of her Eyes both which calling upon the Aid of Saint Ignatius were delivered from danger beyond expectation Another Woman had been so weakned for the space of four Months with continual Pains that she was utterly deprived of the use of her Feet but the Feast of St.

the Cross he turned salt Water into fresh in several Vessels at Sea. Having dipped a brazen Crucifix which he wore about his Neck into the Sea to appease a Tempest and by accident lost it walking the next day upon the shoar he espied a Sea-Crab miraculously bringing him his Crucifix in his claws which having delivered it suddenly returned back into the Sea from whence it came He ended his life at Sancion near China in the year 1552. famous for many Miracles His Body was found entire long after his death howbeit it was neither bowelled nor balmed but buried in Quick-lime and it appeared many months after its decease lively full of juce and fresh colour soft and tractable sending forth an admirable sweet savour and many times Bleeding for which he was honoured and reputed a Saint immediately after his death It appeareth by the Process of his Canonization that many dead Bodies were raised by him after his death that many Lamps burned before his Body with Water onely put into them as clearly as if they had been onely filled with Oil which being oftentimes extinguished took fire again of themselves without humane help that divers were cured by him or by his Relicks or Pictures of Leprosie Palsie and other incurable diseases Saint Philip Nerius preserved his Virginity untouched and he discerned in chaste persons the perfume of Chastity and in others the rankness and stench of Unchastity He arrived to the Knowledge of many things concealed from him such as are the most intimate Secrets of mens Hearts He restored one dead Man to life in his life time another after his own decease He was seen raised from the ground in the time of his Masses Miracles of some others taken out of their Lives POpe Iohn when he came to Corinth a Gentleman lent unto him a Horse whereon his Wife used often to ride and when the Horse was sent back he could never abide that the Woman should come on his back so that it seemed that Beast which had carried the greatest Man of Dignity and Authority in the World disdained to be checked and ruled by a Woman the Gentleman marking it and holding it for a very strange thing as it was indeed sent the Horse tobe given unto the Pope Pag. 147. A Ship wherein were three hundred persons being in a Storm and in danger to be cast away they recommended themselves to St. Iuvenal and they saw him walk on the waves of the Sea and the Tempest ceased See his Life p. 60. St. Anthony was a corpulent man but the Devil displeased with his good life molested him and one night would have strangled him and had already set his Hands to his Throat so that he was in danger of death but recommending himself to the glorious Virgin and saying the Hymn O Gloriosa Domina the Devil left him and vanished away See his Life p. 193. St. Anthony had the gift of Tongues with a pleasant clear and ringing Voice and though there was at his Sermons many Thousand persons of different Languages yet they all understood him As at Rome where the People of sundry Nations listening unto him and he preaching in the Italian Tongue yet they all understood him Preaching one time in France near Bruges in the Field because of the multitude of People it was Summer and whilst he preached it began to Thunder and Lighten grievously wherefore the People doubting to be throughly wet began to haste away to shelter St. Anthony bid them be quiet for they should not be wet all the People gave credit to his words and none stirred out of his place then it began to rain very much throughout all the Countrey but upon the People that heard his Sermon there fell not one Drop It hapned in the same Province in France that a devout Woman was desirous to go to the Sermon of St. Anthony but her Husband would not suffer her because she was sickly she went up unto the top of her House looking toward the place where he preached and though she was two Miles off yet she heard the words of the Preacher as if she had been hard by Of this the Husband of the good Woman was witness who calling her and she answering that she stayed there to hear the Sermon he scoffed and derided at her words and with some pain he went up to the place where his Wife was and he also heard the words as plain as if he had been hard by One time St. Anthony preaching he saw a Traveller approach unto a noble Lady which was at the Sermon and speak unto her the Saint seeing her much troubled and change her countenance bid her as he stood in the Pulpit not to believe that false Messenger who brought her news that her Son was dead for it was a lye without doubt and said withall that he that told it her was the Devil The wicked Fiend would by this Lye have disturbed the Sermon but seeing himself discovered he vanished away in all their sights St. Anthony being in Padua it was revealed to him that his Father was in danger of death at Lisbon being accused of Man-slaughter whereof he was innocent wherefore he asked leave of his Guardian and having obtained it he was carried in one Night onely by an Angel from Padua unto Lisbon Being come thither he spoke with his Father and brought to pass that the Judges caused the dead Body to be brought before him St. Anthony before much people asked him if his Father had killed him the dead Body spake and said No and that he was falsly accused thereof The Judge having seen the strange Miracle set free the Father of St. Anthony who remained in his company all night and the next day he was carried back from Lisbon unto Padua as he had been brought thither One time St. Anthony Preaching at the Funerals of a rich man and among other things discoursed upon these words Where thy treasure is there is thy heart to confirm these words the Father said that the former words be true it is evident in this Rich man who was covetous for his Heart was to be found in his Chest where his Money lieth forthwith some went and opened it and there they found the Heart of the covetous man indeed as fresh as if it had been taken out of the Breast of a Man. It happened often at the end of the Sermons of St. Anthony that the People departed with such desire to be confessed that the Confessours of his Order and of the other Orders also were not sufficient to satisfie them He also heard Confessions among others he also heard the Confession of a Paduan who told him that he had kicked his Mother St. Anthony reproved him sharply and told him that the Foot that had struck his Mother was worthy to be cut off The words of St. Anthony were of such force in the mind of him that was confessed that when he came home he himself cut off the same

was in the whole secret and so he withdrew but he died some days after at Constance having poyson'd himself as was believed The Matter lay asleep some time but a year after that a Spanish Bishop came authorized with full power from Rome and the whole Cheat being fully proved the four Fryars were solemnly degraded from their Priesthood and eight days after it being the last of May 1509 they were burnt in a Meadow on the other side of the River over against the great Church the place of their Execution was shewed me as well as the Hole in the Wall through which the voice was conveyed to the Image It was certainly one of the blackest and yet the best carried on Cheat that has been ever known and no doubt had the poor Fryar dyed before the discovery it had passed down to posterity as one of the greatest Miracles that ever was and it gives shrewd suspition that many of the other Miracles of that Church were of the same nature but more successfully finished Miracles wrought by Ignatius as they are related in Ch. 16. and 17. of The Glory of the Blessed Father St. Ignatius Printed at Roven 1633. after the Copy compiled at Cracovia Miracles wrought by St. Ignatius in his life time IGnatius Founder of the Society of Iesus is reported to have done these following Miracles in his Life time It fell out at Barcelona that two Brothers about their Patrimony had long sued one another and he in fine whose fortune it was to lose the Suit falling through too vehement apprehension into despair hung himself with a Halter upon a Beam in his Chamber The bruit of which came no sooner to the Ears of St. Ignatius but suddenly he betook himself to the place and cutting asunder the Halter from that unfortunate Rafter gave order that the dead Body should be laid upon a Bed which done falling apart upon his Knees he began with many tears to demand the safety of that miserable Creature at the Hands of Almighty God but whilst Ignatius being at that time but a Student in the Grammar-School was thus earnest in his Prayers they who were there present standing in suspence with their Eyes fixed upon the Bed a thing full of miracle the dead Man returned suddenly to life and had the use of his Voice so long till calling for a Ghostly Father he had confessed his Sins and received Absolution and then at last gave up the Ghost lately redeemed from out the Jaws of Hell into the Hands of his Creator He recovered immediately a certain Man called Bastida who had been many years sick of the Falling-Sickness by casting up his Eyes and Prayers for him to Heaven He often chased the Devil out of possessed Persons by the Sign of the Cross. He restored a Woman to health who lay half dead of a Consumption He delivered one Simon Rodriguez being also at Death's door from his Disease by a pious Embrace Iohn Baptista Coco who by accident one Evening had so burnt his Hand that it became utterly unserviceable and disabled for any manual Function the next day by his Prayers had his Hand healed and restored Returning sick into his own Countrey of a quotidian Ague and Preaching often in the open Fields because the Churches were not capable of the Concourse of People howbeit his weakness would not permit him to raise his Voice aloud yet every word of his Sermon was perfectly and distinctly heard and understood by all Men for the space of more than 300 Paces Coming once to visit one Alexander Petronio who lay sick in a dark and close Chamber and Bed in regard the Windows and Doors were kept shut to keep out the light he replenished the Room with the supernatural splendour of his Face and recovered the sick Person He freed one Elutherio Pontano who had been grievously molested for the space of more than two years with certain foul Temptations of the Devil by his only seeing and discoursing with the Party The College of Loretto being fearfully haunted with Spirits appearing in sundry foul shapes of Men and Beasts and the ordinary Exorcisms and other Ceremonies usually having been applied and those fearfull Apparitions nevertheless not ceasing the Rector of the College addressed himself by Letters to St. Ignatius commending the business to his holy Sacrifices and Prayers who no sooner received news of it but he absolutely freed the House from those haunts of ill Spirits by his Prayers and Letter not for the present only but for ever after St. Ignatius his Linen being washed with devotion by a certain devout Woman restored life and motion to her withered and dead Arme. One Isaac a Jew refusing with a passionate obstinacy to become a Christian and contemning courtesies and all other courses taken with him by others was by Saint Ignatius soon satisfied appeased and persuaded to be Baptized by the only uttering of these three words Mane nobiscum Isaac A certain Person of Note being of a more turbulent Spirit than was fit longer to be endured and St. Ignatius not being able by gentle persuasions to cure his diseased Mind changing at last his style and beginning to call upon the Justice of God and represent unto him the Vengeance of Heaven he did it with such a feeling and expression of fervour that the Walls and House appeared to him to tremble and shake with horrour with the sight of which the standers by being stricken immediately fell upon their Knees imploring the Mercy of God by their Prayers and Vows and the Delinquent prostrating himself at the Feet of St. Ignatius and with a Voice of Confusion begging pardon for his offence promised from thence forward an amendment of himself Father Leonard Kesselius residing at Colen had a vehement desire to see St. Ignatius then at Rome above 300 Leagues distant from thence and having besought the B. Father by Letters that it might be lawfull for him to travel on foot to Rome he made answer that his presence was necessary at Colen for the good of others enjoining him besides not to stir from thence for that Almighty God peradventure by some other course might so provide that he might see him without the pains and toil of so tedious a journey the Father therefore being one day at his Prayers St. Ignatius appeared unto him being yet alive and breathing and discoursed long with him to his infinite contentment The B. Father lying often sick if in the mean time any difficulty hapned for the solving of which his vertue and wisdom was required he seemed in a manner to be perfectly recovered and his Mind guiding his Body appeared a sound Man so that it became familiar to them of the Houshold as often as he fell sick to desire that some Business of Consequence might happen for the facilitating of which St. Ignatius might rise and be quit of his Disease Miracles wrought by St. Ignatius after his decease In the Processes for the Canonization of St. Ignatius
