the Sword of Judith the Sword of the Maccabees the Sword of Pope Julius the II. wherewith he cut off the Lives of several Princes his Enemies filling whole Cities with Slaughter and Blood Go and let Prudence go along with thy Courage let God give new strength to thy Arm. After which they all fall down on their Knees and the Superior of the Jesuits pronounces the following Exorcism Come ye Cherubins ye Seraphims Thrones and Powers come ye holy Angels and fill up this Blessed Vessel the execrable Parricide with an immortal Glory do ye present him every day with the Crowns of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Holy Patriarchs and Martyrs We do not look upon him now as one of ours but as one belonging to you And thou O God who art terrible and invincible and hast inspired him in Prayer and Meditation to kill the Tyrant and Heretick for to give his Crown to a Catholick King comfort we beseech thee the Heart of him whom we have Consecrated for this Office strengthen his Arm that he may execute his Enterprise cloath him with the Armour of thy Divine Power that having performed his Design he may escape the Hands of those who shall go in pursuit of him give him Wings that his holy Members may flie away from the power of the impious Hereticks replenish his Soul with Joy Comfort and Light by which his Body having banished all fear may be upheld and animated in the midst of Dangers and Torments This Exorcism being ended they bring the Parricide before another Altar where hangs the Image of James Clement Dominican Fryar who with a venemous Knife killed King Henry the III. This Image is surrounded with Angels who protect him and bring him to Heaven The Jesuits shew it to him and put afterwards a Crown on his Head saying Lord regard here thy Arm and the Executer of thy Justice let all the Saints arise bow and yield to him the most honourable place amongst them After every thing so performed he is permitted to speak to none but to four Jesuits who are deputed to keep him company These Fellows are not wanting in their Discourses to tell him very often that they perceive a Divine Light that surrounds him and is the cause why they bow to him kiss his Hands and Feet and consider him no more as a Man but as a Saint Nay they make a shew as if they did envy the great Honour and Glory which does attend him and say sighing Oh that God had been pleased to make choice of us instead you and given us so much Grace that as you we might be translated into Heaven without going into Purgatory Here 's the end of the Ceremony and of the Order of these Fathers who call themselves the Company of Jesus Of the Order of the Fathers of the Oratory THIS Congregation of Regular Priests was Founded at Rome by Philip Neri a Florentine Secular Priest in Italy He gathered a Company of Ecclesiasticks who applied themselves to the exercises of Clerical Life and got a great Name in the World They begun their practices in the year 1550 but their Order was not confirmed till twenty five years after by Gregory the III. who gave to Philip Neri the Parochial Church of St. Mary in Valicella called now La Chiesa Nuova He built there a Convent where he passed almost his whole Life not going out but to visit the Seven Churches In imitation of him Peter of Berulle instituted at Paris the Congregation of the Fathers of the Oratory of Jesus He was peculiarly encouraged to it by Cardinal Gondi Bishop of Paris Pope Paul the V. approved this Congregation in the year 1613 and since it hath spread it self very much in France and in the Low Countries These Priests have this for the end of their Institution to honour as much as lies in them the Infancy Life and Death of our Saviour Jesus Christ and of the Virgin Mary to whom they render an Idolatrous Worship They have several times a Week meetings to which they invite Seculars also to make them meditate in their Churches called by them Oratories from whence they have got the Name of Fathers of the Oratory on what the Virgin Mary hath done while she was yet a Child with what Diligence she went to School with what Modesty she plaid with the young Girls of her Age on the great Respect she had towards the Priests bowing to them in the Streets and running in such manner over all the Actions of her Life till her Death with particulars which were never known by Scripture or ancient Tradition they believe they have performed great exercises of Piety by Preaching to the Seculars three or four hours at each meeting upon these and such like matters They make it also their business to teach Youth in their Colleges to Preach and to go on Missions They make no Vows and can very easily go out from their Society to possess some good Living offered to them They are generally much beloved by all sorts of people for their Honesty and Affability but mortally hated by the Jesuits who have persecuted them extreamly in these last Times accusing them of favouring the Opinions of Jansenius but indeed it is because they are their Rivals and they fear lest the Papists weary at last of their tyranny and impieties should one day give their Houses and Colleges to the Fathers of the Oratory They are Cloathed like secular Priests viz. with a long black Casock a Girdle and a long Cloak of the same Colour This Order hath produced several both learned and honest men according to their Principles Of the Order of the Fathers of Well Dying THIS Religion is instituted to serve the Sick and comfort them in their Dying-Hour Those who do compose it are Regular Clerks Camillus of Lelis was the Author thereof He was born in the Land of Abru●so in the Diocese of Chiety in Italy called Buccianico and having past the first years of his Life in being a Soldier he resolved to employ the last in serving the Poor in the Hospitals and comforting Dying People Four of his Friends joined with him in the same design and their new Religion was approved by Pope Sixtus the V. in the year 1584. but upon condition that they should follow some Ancient Rule These good Fathers being not very well pleased with it as desirous to have the Honour of being the Founders of a distinct Order continued still their former practices In the mean while Sixtus the V. passed to another Life and Gregory the XIV who succeeded him confirmed this Congregation in the year 1591 making it free and independent 'T is called the Congregation of Regular Clerks serving the Sick Their Habit is Clerical with a Cross on their Breast and another upon their Cloak on the Right Side of Tawny Colour with a great flopping Hat upon their Heads They have several Convents in Italy Of the Order of Clerks Minors THE Regular

X. Of the Progress of the Order of St. Benet since the year 543 to 940. When begun the first Reformation BENET when living sent two of his most beloved Disciples Maurus and Placidus one into France and the other into Sicily for to found there some Monasteries They made there in a short time a wonderful progress by the favourable disposition of several great Lords who did help them in their design It hapned also beyond Benet's intention and by a particular providence of God who draws good from evil when he pleaseth that some years after his death many of his Monasteries became well indowed Colleges wherein Youth were instructed and Sciences did flourish Because as in that time the most part of Europe was not yet converted to the Christian Faith or was lately brought over to it there was need of good learned men to convert and confirm the people in the Doctrin of the Gospel The Christian Princes considering the advantages of retirement for Studies and that Benet's Rule did contain for the most part Statutes very proper for the administration of a College they founded many Monasteries of his Order with the intent they should teach in them not only their young Monks but all others who would come there to board Hence it was that the manual labour which according to St. Benet's Rule took up the best part of the day was shortned if not quite released in favour of the Students and those who had not wit enough in their heads to apply themselves seriously to studies and to compose Books found enough in their Fingers to Transcribe Bind and guild them This in a very short time did furnish all the Monasteries with excellent Libraries that were a great help to their Studies because Printing not being used in those times all Books being in Writing were extream dear and those Seculars who had not the advantage of the Libraries of Monks were not able to have many This gave then fair opportunity to the Religious of becoming learned and what encouraged them more yet was that on the account of their Learning they were called to Bishopricks and other Ecclesiastical Dignities even to the Papacy it self In an old Table of the greatness of the Order of St. Benet I find 28 Popes 200 Cardinals 1600 Archbishops 4000 Bishops The principal Monasteries where Studies and Learned Men did flourish with great reputation were those of Fulda Milan Hirsauge Auxerre St. Martins of Treves Hirsfeld Rheims St. Gall St. Denis Wissembourg Malmesbury in England Corbie Neubourg Altendorf Luxevil and a great many others the relation of which might prove perhaps too tedious In a word if we believe Tritemius towards the year 840. almost all the Monasteries of the Order of St. Benet were learned Academies and Schools in which were taught not only Divinity and Philosophy but also Mathematicks Musick Rhetorick Poetry the Hebrew Arabick Greek and Latin Tongues These were the Golden Ages of the Monks very different from those of our times It was then that the Abbies of the Order of St. Benet became so rich by the great and noble gifts which the Princes and great Lords gave them as an encouragement to the learned By which means the Abbots became themselves great and mighty Lords and got magnificent Titles The Abbot of Augia the Rich in Germany has yearly 60000 Golden Crowns and in his Monastery were received none but Princes Earls and Barons The Abbies of Weissembourg of Fulda and of St. Gall in Germany do possess yet●innumerable riches and their Abbots are Dukes and Princes of the Empire One of the Abbots of St. Gall entred into Strasbourg on a publick occasion with a Retinue of 1000 Horse Should I treat here in particular of all the Abbies of the Order of St. Benet this could not be done without making a great Volume They were formerly above 15000 in number but they are now a great deal more As the intentions of those who founded Monasteries were very various I shall here relate some of the principal motives which gave rise to these Foundations CHAP. XI What were the motives to the Founding of so many Monasteries SOME as I have already said had a motive thereto the making attonement for their Extorsions Paricides and Robberies and hoped they had done it in great measure by employing part of what they had pillaged or stollen in founding Monasteries such was the infatuation of those times Others indeed carried by a truly noble Spirit and good Zeal founded many of them to favour Virtue and Letters witness Oswaldus King of England who founded several Ut inventus in iis bonis Literis Moribus imbui ac erudiri posset to the end that Youth should be instructed in them both in Learning and good Manners Not very long after the False Doctrin of Proper Merit and of applying the Merits of one man to another having crept into the Church the most impious and wicked undertook to lay foundations with this infamous Bargain that while they gave themselves up to all sorts of Crimes and sinful Courses the Monks should pray and merit Heaven for them and their Posterity A fourth reason which perswaded a great many persons towards the end particularly of the tenth Century to found Monasteries was a false Opinion they had imbibed that the World would come to an end with that Age. This does appear by the old Charters of Donation of those times of which this is one In Dei Nomine perpetrandum est unicuique hominum quam vel●citer tempora caduca praetereunt futura appropriant Ideo penset unusquisque apud semetipsum si habeat unde aliquid de facultatibus suis tribuere valeat ad venerabilia loca pro remedio animae suae ut in sempiterna requie cum Beato Petro Andraea Paradysum
