how canst thou be a Father To which I aunswerd him that it was meere follie to giue any credit to names or Anagrams as Iulius Scaliger hath very elegantly proued against Cardan Besides I am out of doubt that you Anagram is a lyer as I will proue by another that is contrarie to it TV MATRES VICIAS thorosque sacros Antistes pie virginesque sanctas Hoc qui martyrio fidem propagat Hoc qui consilio propagat orbem Is verè est pater pater beatus O tuam veneror beatitatem Amplectorque piam paternitatem Iosuita Patrum Pater supreme Thou stainest Mothers and the marriage bed Prelate by thee are holy Virgins sped Who by this martyrdome graceth the sleeple Who by this skill begets faith in the people He is a father and a father blest Thy happines I honour with the rest Iesuit I bow to thy paternitee Father of Fathers in the highest degree The diuersitie of these two Anagrams which is a plaine contrariety of doing vndoing teacheth vs that there is no credit to be giuen to them And I hold it for certaine and an Article of faith if you will giue me leaue to say so that the Iesuits keepe their vow of chastitie as strictly holily and religiously as they do that of beggerie wherefore let vs not trouble our talke with this ordure You are verie desirous quoth the other to fauour them without ground and you consider not that your Anagram lackes one letter E. whereas mine fits all That which I haue said to you of them is an inseparable accident which the Logicians call Poprium quarto modò Remember the Templers who were allowed heretofore vnder the cloake of Religion to wander ouer the world to enlarge our faith by their swords and what was one of the principall points for which they were condemned See if the Iesuits now adaies doe not follow their steps the actiōs of a man that rogues about the world as the Iesuits doe are to me meruailous suspicious I beleeue no part of that you say quoth I it is all but lies and slaunders CHAP. 16. ¶ Of the vow of Mission and that by it the Iesuits mocke vs all and especially our holy Father the Pope IN all other orders they that are admitted make three vowes In this of Ignace to enthrall the good liking of Pope Paule the third that of Mission is added not for his fellowes but for them which are of the last and great vow The words of their Buls are that they promise without shifting to go whether soeuer the Pope shall commaund them Ad profectum animarum fidei propagationem siue miserit nos ad Turcas siue ad quoscumque alios infideles etiam in partibus quas Indias vocant existentes c. He that caused the defence of the Colledge of Clairmont against the Vniuersity of of Paris to be printed 1594. saith thus speaking of the greatnes and excellencie of his new vow The defendants haue a particular vow of obedience to the Pope but circa Missiones tantùm which is grounded vpon this that they being called by God to ayde the Church and to defend it against the enemies thereof such as the Infidels and heretiques are must of necessitie be sent abroad And a little after And they cannot be more rightly sent then by him that is set in Saint Peters chaire and gouerns the whole Church who as the Pilot in the sterne sticking to the helme appoints some to the fore-ship some to the ancor some to the sailes and tackles and other to other offices in the ship Let vs dwell a little vppon this goodly sentence ere we passe any further The first promise of this vow is for the conuersion of the Turks which follow Mahometisme then of all other infidels yea euen of them that inhabit certaine countries vnknowne to vs which they call the Indies I pray you tel me if euer you vnderstood that they went either to the country of the great Turke the Emperour of Constantinople or of Sophy the Emperour of Persia to acquit themselues of this promise They were neuer commaunded to goe thither by our holy Father will some man say to me I grant because those places were too hot for them Whither then haue they gone Into those countries that are farre from vs quas Indias vocant which Ignace cunningly added as a thing harder to performe then the conuersion of Turkie and yet he knew being a Spaniard that nothing was so easie as to vndertake this charge as you haue vnderstood by me when I recoūted to you the Embassages of the Iesuits into Portugall Maff. lib. 2. chap. 10.

assembly some laboured harde to make immortall mercilesse war against the Hugonots yet demaunded an abatement of Subsidies a proposition ill sorting with the former those Subsidies hauing heen introduced of purpose to further the warres By means whereof the man of whom I speake taking first aduise of the Iesuits propounded a third course to league thēselues against the Hugonots and that such as willing lie enroled themselues vnder the League should be bound to contribute vnto the charge of this new warre These instructions receiued and published the Deputies did nominate a certaine Prince to be their head The last King knowing of what consequence this practise was and that succeeding it would make 3. parties in France his owne which was not one properly that of the League another of the Hugonots to breake this blow discreetly affirmed that he approued well this League but that be would be chiefe thereof which was to the end the League should flie no further then he was pleased to giue it wings The first stone of our ruine beeing cast in this manner the Prouosts of the Merchants and the Sheriffes of Paris returning home and loath that thys opinion of a League which they held most holy should miscarie sent theyr Commissions throughout all the Wards to to the end that such as would contribute should subscribe their names The Constables bare them vnto euerie house some hardier then the rest opposed themselues the greater number fearing worse subscribed The Commission was brought to Christopher le Tou chiefe Iustice whose memorie vvee cannot honour too much this good Lord refused not onely to subscribe but detayned the Commission it selfe and the next day in open Court detested this vnhappy innouation as an assured desolation to our state His authoritie his honestie his reasons wrought so great effect that euery one allowed and followed his aduise From thence-foorth this opinion of the League did weare away or rather vvas remitted to another season that better might befit the purposes of such as broached it Suddainly after the Parliament was ended Father Aimon Auger a Iesuit got the King to giue eare vnto him through his plausible hypocrisies And after him Father Claudius Matthew of Lorraine both the which had so great part in his good fauour that as Montaignes testifieth hee some-times caused them to ride along with him in his owne Coach At length this good King founde that these coozeners were desirous to incroach vppon the managing of State-matters about him Auger especially whom for that cause hee gaue order to his Embassadour at Rome to get him remooued out of Fraunce by Letters of obedience from his Generall The King departing from the Parliament pacified his subiects by an Edict of the yeere 1577. the which hee sayd was vvholly his owne and yet had by his wisedome cleane dashed the reformed Religion without bloodshed if the Iesuits would haue vouchsafed him the leisure to finish what he had begun Wageing in the midst of peace a gentle warre against the Hugonots gentle but more forcible in great mens oppinions then any weapons could haue made it For although that the Edict of 77. gaue some libertie vnto them yet the king neither called them to places of iudgement nor vnto offices in his Exchequer nor to the gouernments of Prouinces and Townes Hee had moreouer deuised the order of the holie Ghost reserued wholly for Catholicke Princes and Lords as also that of the Hieronimitans of our Lady of Vincennes where none were to appeare but Apostolicall Romane Catholiques and with whom laying aside his most high authoritie he fraternized in all kind of deuotion Nowe the presence of these causing the others absence belieue it was no small meanes to force them into the right way For there is nothing which the French Nobilitie affect so much as to be neere theyr King nor any thing that afflicts the common people more then to be kept from Offices this is a disease of minde that spoyles the Frenchman As soone as a Lawyer or Marchant haue by theyr endeuours stuffed theyr Closets and Storehouses with siluer the thing they chiefely ayme at is to bestowe it on places of Iudgement or roomes in the Exchequer for theyr Children so that the newe Religion beganne alreadie to dissolute and it grieued not the Auncients thereof vvho for shame and to auoyde the imputation of lightnes stucke vnto it to suffer their chyldren to be instructed in our Schooles and consequently to learne there the principles of our Religion All matters in this sort proceeded from ill to well from well to better the Countriman plyed harde his plough the Artificer his trade the Merchant his traffique the Lawyer his practise the Cittizen enioyed his reuenew the Magistrate his stipend the Catholick his owne religion throughout all Fraunce without impeachment The remainder of those Hugonots that liued being sequestred into a backe corner of the kingdome when our Iesuits seeing themselues remoued frō theyr Princes fauour beganne to lay this snare to intrap him Euen as the Societie of Iesuits is composed of all sorts of people some for the pen others for practise so had they amongst them one Father Henry Sammier of Luxembourge a man disposed for all assayes and resolued vnto any hazard This fellow was sent by them in the yeere 1581 towards diuers Catholicke Princes to sounde the Foorde And to say truly they could not haue chosen one more fit for he disguised himselfe into as many formes as obiects one while attired like a soldiour another while like a Priest by and by like a country Swaine Dice cardes and women were as ordinarie with him as his prefixed houres of prayer saying he did not thinke he sinned in this because it was done to the furtherance of a good worke to the exaltation of Gods glorie and that hee might not be discouered changing his name together with his habite according to the Countries wherein he purposed to negotiate He parted from Lorraine and thence went into Germany Italie and Spaine The summe of his instructions were that foreseeing the eminent danger of our Catholick religion the seeming conniuence which the King gaue to it and secret fauour hee yeelded on the other side to the Hugonots whereof the Duke his brother had made himselfe an open Protector in the Lowe-Countries their holie societie had resolued to vndertake this quarrell vnder the leading of a great Prince making sure account of Gods assistance seeing that it was directed to the aduauncement of his holy Name and good of his Church Thus Sammier got intelligence from each part and tooke assurance on all hands but presently to manifest their proiects the season fitted not because the Duke was aliue and the two brothers forces once vnited were sufficient to swallow all such as had made head against them And this was but the preamble vnto our Troubles In the yeere 83. he died That let remoued the Iesuits imbarqued in their quarrell such Lords as they thought good and
