taken away by this means Fifthly Likewise let him nourish the differences of Preachers which are in errour and let him so work that they may often conferre and wrangle For by this means when all shall understand that there is nothing setled and certain among them they will joyne in truth Sixthly Many other means there be which prudent care will dictate to a Prince of its owne accord All those things which draw love and honourable esteem to the Prince are of use to fetch over the people easily to embrace his opinion in matters of Religion Of this sort are his easing them of taxes excise speedy supplies to any part of the Countrey spoyled by fire provision of victuals and other necessaries Hereby it will come to passe that what ever they esteem distastfull to the Prince they will hold in detestation If a Prince make use of these means he may in a short time root out the Protestant Religion although in the beginning it seem too strong for his Laws or Him Campanella his Plot. CAmpanella in his Book de Monarchia Hispanica printed in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth shewing the King of Spain how to bring England under his owne subjection and to the Romane Religion hath these words The same advice that Cardinal de Richelieu gave the late King of France a little before his death c. 22. Instiget Primores Comitiorum aut Parliamenti ut Angliam in formam Reipublicae reducant that is Let the King of Spain instigate the leading men of the English Parliament to bring England to the form of a Common-wealth And Omnino id agat ut Anglorum vires infringat ad quod efficiendum Naves Hollandiae Frisiae sufficerent si nimirum Classi Anglicae opponerentur ut infra palam fiet c. that is By all means let him make it his businesse to break the strength of England To effect which the ships of Holland and Frisia will be enough if they be set against the English as by and by I will shew c. This 25 chapter beginneth thus Quamvis Anglus c. Although the English doth of all Nations seem least to effect an Universall Monarchy yet they do much hinder Spains attaining it Queen Elizabeth hath given us examples for she hath cherished corrupted humours and helped Protestants with advice and supplies in the Low Countries against the Catholick King and in France against the most Christian Prince For she is Queen of an Island which aboundeth with Ships and Souldiers and maketh a prey of all that Spain hath in the North and ramble even to America where though they cannot erect a new Kingdome yet they doe the Spaniard very much harm for Drake the English man hath gone round the world more than once though Magalanes did it before him And it may come to passe that all the Kingdome of Baccalaos which is neerer the English and more commodious to them by reason of the temperature of the aire may some time or other be pulled into their possession Certain it is and evident enough that if the King of Spain could conquer but England and the Low-countreys he would quickly become the Monarch of all Europe and of the greatest part of the New-found world Campanella goes on advising the Spaniard to erect some new Schools or Colledges in Flanders and to usher a new Religion into England first with a new Philosophy himself hath furnished us with one Anglorum Religio facile restingui non potest There is more to the same purpose in the 10. Chap. which beginneth thus Omnes Magnates Monarchiam c. All great men when they have gone about to set up a Monarchy have altered the Sciences sometimes Religion it selfe that they might be admired In the same Chap. his 7. direction is to shut up all Schools wherein the Greek and Hebrew Languages are taught because they are saith he the causes of heresies and so destroy government nisi aperiantur Scholae in Flandria interventuque illarum spargantur semina Schismatum in scienti is naturalibus Stoicis videlicet Peripateticis Telesianis The Religion of the English cannot easily be brought to nothing unlesse Schools be opened in Flanders and by help of them the seeds of Schisms in Naturall Sciences and Stoick Peripatetick and Telesian Philosophy be scattered abroad The last page of this 25 Chap. is as followeth Insula haec reducetur in formam Reipublicae quae perpetuas inimicitias cum Scotia gerat actionesque suas non nisi lente perficiet c. When this Island shall become a Republick it will be at perpetuall enmity with Scotland and move very slowly and so do the lesse harm to Spain whereupon the King of Spain as soon as the throne is empty may step in pretending to help the English But let him be sure to keep correspondency with some English Noble-men who have power over the adjacent Islands and let every one of them have full and absolute dominion in his severall place as we read it was in the dayes of old Then let him tamper with the Nobility of Ireland that when the Queen is dead that Nation may be formed either into a Common-wealth or at least into a Kingdome distinct by it self then let him promise supplies to each of those Noblemen apart and so much the more because in that Kingdome or Island Catholicks especially Monks of the ord●r of St. Francis are very much beloved Now the Irish agree better with the Spaniards than with the English either because their manners or climates are alike and because their Countreys are neer one another And there are in Ireland many vagabond persons who cannot indure to be in subjection and yet they are good Catholicks and able to doe the King of Spain excellent service in the matter which we now speak of These and the like things may easily be prepared that when Queen Elizabeth is dead they may be put in execution for every one knoweth what bloody Civill wars what alterations and changes have been oftentimes in England So that what I have propounded will not seem strange or impossible To conclude The same Campanella in his 8. Chapter of the same book laies down this rule or maxime That the way to keep up or increase the King of Spains Monarchy is To keep his own Subjects in peace and his Neighbors in contention Tho. Campanella having thus given the King of Spain directions how to get and keep the English Nation Rob. Parsons goes a step further and will help him to a title to the Crown of England For in the yeare M.DXCIII he published a book under the name of ● Doleman Entituled A Conference about the next Succession to the Crown of England divided into 2 parts Concerning this book being condemned in Parliament Ann. 35.
