his King and Countrey by preaching and publishing Excommunications against the peace of 46. to the vain hopes of obtaining a Bishoprik from his master the Nuncius would make no scruple to haue three brothers put to death for a feign'd conspiracy against the life of a priuy Councellor What troubled me most in this intrigue was the loss of Sir Robert Talbots Estate and of a considerable summe for ten years Agency setled by Act of Parliament vpon him and the other Agents into which was inserted I know not how an obscure odd kind of clause of preference of payment in fauor of Mr. Milo Power as if he had bin a mor meriting and suffering Caualeer before Sir Robert Talbot and others both Agents and Caualiers And though euery one knowes Mr. Milo Power to be a very worthy gentleman and pleasant company it s also well knowen that though his affection to the Kings seruice be as great as any mans yet the possibility of shewing it or of loosing much for it was not comparable to the sufferings and seruices of those who lost the benefit of the Act vpon his account And indeed Sir Robert Talbot ought to be pittied because hauing bin employd by the publik he neglected his own particular concern meerly out of honor least it should be thought as it was reported but groundlesly of others that to secure his own estate he concurr'd to the ruin of his Countrey As for Friar Walsh his no less ridiculous than malitious obseruation and Comments vpon the most R. Father Olina his letter to me and my deuotion and respect to him and the whole Society I must own to the whole world I should be as ill a man and as great a lyar as Wash himself and that is the worst can be sayd of any man if I did not esteem very much and speake well of the virtue and learning of that Society Few can speake with more knowledge and none shall with less partiality I haue bin in most of their Prouinces of Europe I haue liued in their most famous Colleges and taught in som I neuer was in any College or Community of theirs where there was not one or more of known eminent Sanctity many of extraordinary virtue and none that I knew vicious I alwayes found their Superiors charitable and sincere their Procurators deuout their Professors humble though learned their yong masters of humanity and students of Philosophy or Diuinity very chast and if any gaue the least suspicion of being otherwise he was presently dismissed It is my greatest admiration how so great a body so generaly employ'd and trusted by the greatest Princes so conuersant in the world according to their holy institut can sauor so litle of it and liue so innocently as they do and euen forsake the best part of it Europe their many conueniencies and relations which are illustrious and banish themselues to Asia Afrik and America vpon no other account but that of sauing souls In their Schools they teach not those infamous doctrins which that foulmouthd Friar Walsh asperseth their Authors with and sayes I do practise but are very reserued in deliuering any larger opinion euen of the most famous writers for feare men should abuse and misapply their authority This is the substance of what I alwayes said and must say if I will speake truth of an Order wherin I haue liued many years with great content and truly so innocently through Gods grace and their example that the greatest sin I can charge my self with during my abode amongst them is the resolution I took of leauing them though perhaps erroneously I framed then a iudgement that the circumstances wherin I found my self did excuse it from being mortal But afterwards reflecting with more maturity and less passion vpon the positiueness of that my resolution notwithstanding the charitable offers of the Superiors aboue mentioned as soon as I knew I was design'd to be made Bishop I offerd to F. General Oliua and F. Ioseph Simons then Prouincial of England to re-enter into the Society but they thinking perhaps I could not be of any great seruice to it and edified with my sincere resignation of being directed in that particular as they iudged best for my saluation did of their own accord forward by fauorable informations and a better caracter than I deserued the promotion which the Court of Rome had design'd for me I hauing notice of this ciuility could do no less than write a letter of thanks to Father General Oliua and he answerd me in those vsual vnsignificant and general terms wherwith Generals of Regular Orders congratulat new made Prelats and wherupon Peter Walsh makes very silly but malicious reflexions to persuade the simpler sort of people that my promotion was carried on by the Iesuits as if it had bin a buisness of great importance for their Order or as if their Order had bin hugely concern'd in the discredit of his ridiculous Remonstrance which needed not be disgrac't otherwise than by saying it was his As for my answer to his petition against me presensented to the Councel in England I could not excuse answering it hauing bin commanded by the Lord Lieutenant and Councel of Ireland where I was to put in my answer which containd nothing but truth and so it appear'd to that honorable Bord which declared me innocent It was no other but that I neuer persecuted him nor any of his seuen Friars Remonstrants in whose behalf he petitioned neither did I nor could I excommunicat any Regulars who by the Roman Canons are exempted from the Ordinarys iurisdiction neither indeed did their own regular Superiors punish them for signing the Remonstrance but for cheating the people of money and for exacting it from the Kings Subiects by virtue of a counterfeit commission from the Pope I did afterwards tell som of the priuy Councellors and others that I was surprised to see such criminal persons countenanc't in prescribing ruler of loyalty to men whose families an well old Irish as old english had for these 500. years past stuck according to duty to the Crown of England and themselues had suffer'd so particularly vpon the same account That as to my own family the Nuncius and his Dean of Fermo endeuored to haue myself banisht out of Rome as an Ormonian that Sir Robert Talbots houses and Tenants were destroyd by the Nuncius party in Ireland his command taken from him himself imprison'd as hauing bin the only man in Ireland euen of the Ormonian party who would not giue his voto in a subsequent general Assembly for reiecting the peace of 46. notwithstanding that General Oneals Army was at hand and the Bishop of Clogher enraged at his speeches for the Assemblies reassuming the same peace which Peter Walsh had so disloyaly cry'd down from pulpit and press by commending so seasonably for the Nuncius and so seditiously against the Kings interest and safety D. Enos his libel against that peace and the proceedings of my Lord of
