only harrass'd and tormented by this Villanous and Jesuitical League not only driven out of his chief City but at length at the Instigation of the Jesuits stabb'd and murder'd by a Dominican Monk by them procur'd The Murder was also applauded by Pope Sixtus the Fifth in a long Oration spoke in a full Consistory of Cardinals in these words That a Monk saith he should kill the unfortunate King of France in the midst of his Army was a rare noble and memorable Act. And a little further This Act saith he was done by the Providence of God design'd by the Inspiration of the Holy Ghost a far greater Act than that of Judith who slew Holofernes Expressions rather becoming the Mouth of a Devil than of a Vicar of Christ After him Henry the Fourth was first attempted by Barrier exhorted and confirm'd in the lawfulness of the Fact by Varada the Jesuit and others of the same Gang. Secondly by John Castell at the Instigation of Gueret and Guignard both Jesuits And Francis Verona the Jesuit publisht an Apology in vindication and justification of the Fact And lastly murder'd out-right by Francis Ravaillac a great Disciple of the Jesuits And for no worse Pranks than these they were banished out of France by Decree of Parliament As Corrupters of Youth Disturbers of the public Peace and Enemies to the King and Kingdom Truly very honourable Characters for those that pretend to be of the Society of Jesus The Venetians expell'd them upon this occasion The Senate observing that the Ecclesiastics especially the Jesuits began to engross Lands and Houses of their Territories under the pretence of Legacies to the great damage of the Public Income thought it convenient to put a stop to this Jesuitical Engrossment and provide by Law that Ecclesiastical Persons should not possess all the Temporal Estates in their Territories to themselves but give leave for others to share with them it being positively against the Constitution of their Order and the Institution of Christ their Founder The Jesuits took this in great dudgeon and wrote to Pope Paul the Fifth about it The Venetians being summon'd to answer would not relinquish their Right Protesting withal that they had the Supreme Jurisdiction in their own Territories and consequently to make Laws and that the Pope had nothing to do with them in those Matters Upon which Answer the Pope thunders out his Excommunication The Duke and Senate by public Decree condemn the Excommunication as unjust and invalid which done they call the whole Body of their Clergy and to them declare how Affairs stood The elder sort take part with the Commonwealth and maintain the Argument against the Pope in writing among whom Paulus Venetus was most eminently Signal The Jesuits not enduring the kneeness of his Reasons hire two Ruffians and upon the fifth of October 1607. set them to assassinate Paulus Venetus who thinking they had done his work left him for dead and fled away This was something near Sir Edmundbury Godfreys Case The Senate hearing this by a new Law banish the Jesuits for ever out of their Territories and cut them off from all hope of ever returning And this was their Fortune in Venice In the year 1609. the Bohemians made a Complaint to the Emperour against the Jesuits for the same Encroachments of which the Venetians had accused them before desiring of Casar that they might no longer be permitted to transfer and translate into their own possession such ample Patrimonies under pretence of Donations and Legacies as they did continually Of which when the Emperour took little notice they were by the Bohemian States themselves in the year 1618. utterly expelled out of that Nation for ever with these Characters 1. That they were lavish Wasters of the Public Peace and Tranquility of the Nation 2. That they endeavour'd to subject all Kingdoms and Nations to the Power of the Pope 3. That they did nothing but set the Magistrates together by the Ears 4. That they made particular Advantage of Confessions to the destruction of the people with many other Crimes of the same nature The same year they were expell'd out of Moravia for the same Reasons and the next year out of Hungaria for the same Causes In Silesia also a Decree was made That the Jesuits should not enter that Province upon pain of Death as being the onely means to preserve peace in the Nation As to other Villanies in Poland a Polonian Knight himself a Papist in an Oration by him made in a full Assembly of the Polonian Nobility declares That Cracow the most Famous City of Poland and Ornament of the Kingdom was so plagu'd by the Jesuits that several good men though Catholicks affirmed That they would rather live in the Woods among wild Beasts than abide in the City One time among the rest these Jesuits having brought their Conspiracy to perfection brake into the most ancient Monument of Antiquity in the City and to the great danger of the whole City set it on Fire as being granted to the Evangelics by Consent of the King and States of the Kingdom In Posnania another great City of the same Kingdom they set Fire on the Church belonging to those of the Augustan Confession and committed so many Insolencies without Controul that the Nobility refus'd to meet at the Dyet shortly after to be held at Warsaw resolving to repair further off to Lublin for the redress of these Misdemeanours Neither indeed was there any thing more grievously burdensom to that Kingdom than the Pride and Avarice of those Miscreants In Muscovy upon the Death of the Great Duke Basilowich the Jesuits set up one Demetrius against the lawful Heir who had made them large Promises if he obtain'd the Dukedom Thereupon by the help of these Jesuits the said Demetrius gets Aid from the King of Poland which was not onely the Occasion of a great War in Muscovy but had like to have cost them the Alteration of their Laws and loss of their ancient Customs and Priviledges had they not prevented it by a desperate Attempt upon the Impostor and put him to Death surrounded with Impostors and Jesuits The Transilvanians publicly and with one Consent laid all the Cause of their Miseries and Calamities upon the Subtilties and Contrivances of the Jesuits for which reason by a Public Decree of the States of that Province they were Ejected out of the limits of their Territories Nevertheless they secretly fomented the Ruin of that Country and were the reason that Sigismund Bathor involv'd himself in War and Trouble and at length died an inglorious and miserable Death By their Contrivance also Stephen Potski Prince of Transilvania opposing their Bloody Sect was put out of the way as they call it by Poyson in the year 1607. In Styria and Carinthia Provinces of Germany they never left till they had voided those Provinees of all the Inhabitants of the Reformed Religion In Holland they never left till they saw the Blood of William

to boot The Queen Regent of France having long design'd the Destruction of the Protestants in France and of all the chief Heads of the reformed Religion and among the rest of Admiral Coligni the Life and Soul of the whole Party projects the Execution with the Affistance of the Duke of Anjou the Counts of Tavanes and Raix and the Chancellor Birague and easily drew in the young King whom they made believe that there was no safety so long as those persons were alive and they young Guises were as ready as she to revenge their Fathers Death As for the King of Navar they had so order'd it that he was to be marry'd at Paris at that time and that brought the Prince of Conde to the City But the Admiral more wary kept aloof till the King had begun the War with Spain in the Low Countries which the Admiral had so passionately desir'd and of which the King and Queen Regent had assur'd him the Management Then he came an end seeing the War begun and two of his own Favourites Noue and Genlis at the Head of some thousands in Flanders And these three Great Personages the King of Navarr the Prince of Conde and the Admiral Coligni brought such Trains after them as throng'd all Paris with the Flower of all the Protestant Nobility and Gentry of France Who being all thus within the Net Orders were given to make a general Slaughter of all without distinction excepting the King of Navarr and the Prince of Conde Hence proceeded that Horrible Massacre in the Year 1572. which lasted for seven Days together to the destruction of above 5000 persons of all Ages and Sexes and among these above 600 Persons of Quality After this Deluge of Blood and that the Queen had sent the Head of Coligny Embalm'd as a Present to the Pope the Queen Regent had contriv'd to lay the Load of all the committed Impiety upon the Guises who were Captains of the Massacre believing that the Monmor ancies would certainly seek to revenge the Admirals Death upon them So that while those two Factions ruin'd and destroy'd one another she might have all the Power in her own hands and rule according to her own Will But the Guises being aware of this Design and having the Catholique Nobility the Duke of Montpensier and the Parisians on their side caus'd the Queen to change her Note and thereupon she caus'd the King to write abroad That all was done to prevent the detestable Conspiracy of the Admiral and his Confederates againsh his Life and Royal Family Thereupon there was a Court of Justice erected wherein the Admiral was Condemn'd and after they had murder'd him Executed again in Effigies his Goods Confisctated and his Children degraded And the better to colour this two poor innocent Gentlemen that had escaped the Massacre were apprehended for saving their Lives Briquemaut and Arnand de Covagnes as his Accomplices condemn'd to the same punishment and executed accordingly Thus what these did our late Plotters would have done We may then say to all Protestants in general Felices Agricole sua si bona norint Happy would they be would they but know their own strength Would they but make the right use of these wicked Contrivances of their Enemies and laying aside all froward Puuctilio's of private Opinions joyn unanimously against the common Adversary For if it be a Maxim falsly argu'd against that Peace and Diversity of Religions cannot be preserved in the same Nation as the Ambassadors of the Germane Princes urg'd to Charles the Ninth of France much more truly may it be said that little matters of difference between persons of the same Religion can be no impediment to their Union and Conformity But further to clear the Dissenting Protestants I shall here add a perfect Narration of the Management and Contrivance of the Jesuits to render the greater part of the principal Men in this Kingdom as well those of the Church of England as the Dissenters obnoxious to the Government thereby utterly to ruin them and the Protestant Religion which Design God of his infinite Goodness has been pleased to bring to Confusion and the Instruments thereof through the same Divine Providence we hope shortly to see brought to Condign Punishment A Compleat HITSTORY OF THE LAST PLOT OF THE PAPISTS UPON THE Dissenting Protestants THe late PLOT of the Romish Priests and Jesuits for murdering His Majesty subverting the Government and Protestant Religion and introducing Popery being proved by undeniable Evidences and Circumstances the cunning Jesuits thought it their best way since peoples Eyes were too open to be made believe there was no PLOT to confess there was a Plot and to aggravate it too but withal to use their utmost skill to prove That this Plot was not a Popish-Plot as was generally believed but a pure Design of the Presbyterians and other Dissenters from the Protestant Church of England to ruin the Loyal Roman Chatholiques whilst indeed themselves were the Conspirators who whereas they gave out that the Papists intended by murdering the King c. to bring in Popery really intended by killing His Majesty to Introduce Presbytery and a Commonwealth and so at one Blow subvert the Government both in Church and State and then to set up a new one of their own under the Name of Conservators of the Liberties of England And for this purpose they had secretly given out Commissions for raising an Army the principal Officers whereof were such Persons who seemed to have the greatest share in the Peoples Affections This Design being agreed to by these Hellish Miscreants all possible Diligence was used to bring it to Execution and for this purpose they drew up the Scheme of a Government they intended to Impeach several of the truly Loyal Nobility and Gentry and the whole Body of Dissenting Protestants of conspiring This being done they began to form Letters of Intelligence concerning this Presbyterian Plot and also to provide themselves with Persons to Swear for the Truth of their Allegations To this end Mrs. Cellier a zealous Papist and Midwife to the Lady Powis and other Roman Catholic Ladies procures the Enlargement of one Willonghby aliàs Dangerfield aliàs Thomas aliàs Day who had been a Prisoner in Newgate about six Weeks and had been Convicted once at Salisbury Assizes where he was fined Five pounds and sentenced to stand Three several times in the Pillory which he did twice and then brake Prison and escaped and twice at the Old Bailey for uttering false Guineys where for the first Offence he was fined Fifty pounds and for the second he got His Majesties Pardon He was no sooner released from Newgate but he was Arrested and thrown into the Counter from whence by the means of Bannister and Scarlet she got him removed to the King's-Bench where after some fruitless attempts to get some Papers relating to Captain Bedlow from one Strode a Prisoner there he was furnished with Money by the five Lords in the Tower
