Gate of the City There was found about him a Knife much like a Baionette which the Grenadiers in France make use of at this day And this Knife was design'd for the fatal Blow that was to have been given the King Upon this he was brought to his Trial and being convicted of High Treason was condemn'd to die And at the Place of Execution he confess'd That being at Lions he had consulted four Religious Persons one Carmelite one Jacobin one Capuchin and one Jesuit who after they had carefully enjoin'd him Secresie gave him their Benediction and confirm'd him in the Resolution he had taken With that away he went for Paris and immediately apply'd himself to the Curate of St. Adnrews des Arts a troublesom Fellow and an Adherent to the League After he had made him privy to the Enterprize he applauded it extreamly but advis'd him above all things to conferr with the Rector of the Jesuits which was done The Rector assur'd him that the Design which he had laid was all from God that it behoved him only to have a good Courage to Confess himself and receive the Sacrament Afterwards the Rector carry'd him into his Chamber and after he had given him his last Instructions gave him also his Benediction The next day he was confess'd by another Jesult and received the Sacrament He also imparted his Enterprize to a Third of the same Order who was a great Preacher and a great Stickler in the Rebellion against the King who approv'd his Resolution as most Holy and Meritorious Upon which Approbation he bought the Knife that was found about him the Point of which he caus'd to be ground for the purpose and in pursuance of his detestable Designs he follow'd the King to Melun where he was apprehended Besides this Confession his Answers to the Interrogatories put more home to him by his Judges are such as ought to make all Princes asham'd who declare themselves to be Favourers of the Jesuits For being ask'd where he had learn'd that New Theology which taught him to Murder Kings He answer'd That he was taught by Philosophy Being ask'd Whether he had never studied in the Colledge of Jesuits He answer'd Yes under Father Gueret with whom he had been two Years and a half Being ask'd whether he had been in the Chamber of Meditations into which the Jesuites carry their greatest Sinners to shew 'em several dreadful Portraitures of Devils under various Figures thereby pretending to reduce 'em to a better Life or rather to dislocate and disorder their Minds and prepare them by terrible Visions for some bloody Undertaking He answer'd That he had often been in the Chamber of Meditations Being ask'd whether he had been incited to murder the King he answer'd That he had been told it was a laudable Thing to kill the King and that they who told him so call'd him Tyrant Being ask'd whether such Proposals and Maxims as these were not often in the mouths of the Jesuites He made answer That he had heard 'em say that it was lawful to kill the King That he was not to be obey'd nor look'd upon as King till he was absolv'd by the Pope This was the Confession of this notorious Offender before all the Chambers assembl'd in a Body And being upon the Wheel he said There were still two swarthy Priests whose Names he knew not who were departed from Lyons upon the same Design but that he aim'd to have got before 'em that he might have had all the Honour of the Design But Barrier having miss'd his Blow the Jesuites would not stop there They had determin'd the King's Death and therefore no means must be left unessay'd to cut him off Not much unlike the Blood-thirsty Prosecution of Conspiracy upon Conspiracy against the sacred Person of King William at this day But that which is to be admir'd at in the Proceedings of the Conspirators now a-days is this That they are authoriz'd and protected by two Christian Princes whereas in the Attempts laid against Henry IV. the Jesuites alone were the principal Actors The next Monster therefore whom they made choice of after Barrier to attempt the Life of that Renowned Prince was John Chastel a young Stripling about nineteen Years of Age who had been brought up in the Colledge of the Jesuites and this was a Master-piece of the Morality which he learnt among ' em Upon the 27th of December 1594. he sought an opportunity to put his Enterprize in execution The King being at the Louvre Chastel found a way to get himself admitted among the Courtiers and to get near the King who was then discoursing very pleasantly with several of the Great Lords at what time he so well took his time that he struck his Majesty in the Mouth with his Knife without being perceiv'd which put all the Lords into a most terrible Consternation not knowing from whence the fatal Blow came In the mean time the Ruffian taking his advantage of this Disorder cunningly dropt the Knife and thrust himself into the Crowd as if he had done nothing in hopes to have made his escape However the Courtiers who were busie in searching after the Assassine seiz'd upon this same Stranger at a venture being no otherwise assur'd whether he were guilty or not Nevertheless he was no sooner apprehended but he confess'd the Crime Upon which the Parliament made a Decree wherein the Jesuites are so well set forth to the Life as one would think should be anough to make all Princes asham'd that suffer 'em in their Courts and Dominions particularly Lewis XIV and James II. who make 'em their Favourites their Counsellors and their Chief Ministers of State The Court of Parliament c. having seen the Process exhibited against John Chastel c. Student in the Jesuites Colledge at Clermont c. for High Treason and a thrice execrable and abominable Parricide attempted upon the Person of the King as also against John Gueret stiling himself of the Society of Jesus and formerly the said John Chastel's Tutor c. And finding that the Criminal Court has attainted and convicted the said John Chastel of High Treason against God and Man by the most wicked and most detestable Attempt upon the King's Person And that for the Punishment of the said Crime the said Court has condemn'd c. Now the Parliament farther ordains That all the Priests and Scholars in the Colledge of Clermont and all others stiling themselves of the said Society as Corrupters of Youth Violaters of the Publick Repose Enemies to the King and Kingdom depart out of Paris within three days after Publication of this present Decree and out of all Cities and Places where they have any Colledges and within fifteen days after quite out of the Realm upon pain of being punish'd as Criminals and guilty of High Treason And all their Goods as well immovable as movable shall be laid out in pious Uses Moreover all the King's Subjects are forbid to send any Scholars
