THE GREAT LOYALTY OF THE PAPISTS TO K. CHARLES I. Of Blessed Memory DISCOVERED By Peter Du Moulin D. D. IN HIS VINDICATION OF THE Protestant Religion LONDON Printed in the Year MDCLXXIII The Great Loyalty of the PAPISTS to King CHARLES the I. Of Blessed Memory WHen the businesses of the late bad times are once ripe for an history and Time the bringer forth of truth hath discovered the mysteries of Iniquity and the depths of Satan which have wrought so much crime and mischief it will be found that the late Rebellion was raised and fostered by the Arts of the Court of Rome That Jesuites professed themselves Independent as not depending on the Church of England and Fifth-Monarchy-Men that they might pull down the English Monarchy and that in the Committees for the destruction of the King and the Church they had their Spies and their Agents The Roman Priest and Confessour is known who when he saw the fatal stroke given to our holy King and Martyr flourished with his sword and said Now the greatest enemy that we have in the world is gone When the news of that horrible execution came to Roan a Protestant Gentleman of good credit was present in a great company of Jesuited persons where after great expressions of Joy the gravest of the company to whom all gave ear spake much after this manner The King of England at his Marriage had promis'd us the re-establishing of the Catholick Religion in England Which is false and when he delayed to fulfill his promise we summoned him from time to time to perform it We came so far as to tell him that if he would not do it we should be forced to take those courses which would bring him to his destruction We have given him lawful warning and when no warning would serve we have kept our word to him since he would not keep his word to us That grave Rabbies Sentence agreeth with this certain Intelligence which shall be justified whensoever Authority will require it That the year before the Kings death a select number of English Jesuites were sent from their whole party in England first to Paris to consult with the Faculty of Sorbon then altogether Jesuited to whom they put this question in Writing That seeing the State of ENGLAND was in a likely posture to change Government whether it was lawful for the Catholicks to work that Change for the advancing and securing of the Catholick Cause in ENGLAND by making away ihe King whom there was no hope to turn from his Heresie Which was answered Affirmatively After which the same persons went to Rome where the same question being propounded and debated it was concluded by the Pope and his Council that it was both lawful and expedient for the Catholicks to promote that alteration of State What followed that Consultation and sentence all the world knoweth and how the Jesuites went to work God knoweth and Time the bringer forth of Truth will let us know But when the horrible Parricide committed on the Kings sacred Person was so universally cryed down as the greatest Villany that had been committed in many ages the Pope commanded all the papers about that question to be gathered and burnt In obedience to which Order a Roman Catholick in Paris was demanded a Copy which he had of those papers But the Gentleman who had had time to consider and detest the wickedness of that project refused to give it and shewed them to a Protestant friend of his and related to him the whole carriage of this negotiation with great abhorrency of the practices of the Jesuites In pursuance of that Order from Rome for the pulling down both the Monarch and the Monarchy of England many Jesuites came over who took several shapes to go about their work but most of them took party in the Army About Thirty of them were met by a Protestant Gentleman between Roan and Diep to whom they said taking him for one of their party that they were going into England and would take Arms in the Independant Army and endeavour to be Agitators A Protestant Lady living in Paris in the time of our late calamities was perswaded by a Jesuit going in scarlet to turn Roman Catholick When the dismal news of the Kings Murther came to Paris this Lady as all other good English Subjects was most deeply afflicted with it And when this Scarlet Divine came to see her and found her melting in tears about that heavy and common disaster he told her with a smiling countenance that she had no reason to lament but rather to rejoyce seeing that the Catholicks were rid of their greatest enemy and that the Catholick Cause was much furthered by his death Upon which the Lady in great anger put the man down the stairs saying If that be your Religion I have done with you for ever And God hath given her the grace to make her word good hitherto Many intelligent Travellers can tell of the great joy among the English Convents and Seminaries about the Kings death as having overcome their enemy and done their main work for their settlement in England of which they made themselves so sure that the Benedictins were in great care that the Jesuites should not get their Land and the English Nuns were contending who should be Abbesses in England An understanding Gentleman visiting the Friars of Dunkirk put them upon the discourse of the Kings Death and to pump out their sense about it said that the Jesuits had laboured very much to compass that great work To which they answered that the Jesuits would engross to themselves the glory of all great and good works and of this among other works whereas they had laboured as diligently and effectually for it as they So there was striving for the glory of that atchievement and the Friars shewed themselves as much Jesuited as the Jesuits In the height of Oliver's Tyranny Thomas White Gentleman a Priest and a right Jesuite in all his Principles about obediene set out a Book Entituled the Grounds of Obedience and Government Wherein he maintains that If the People by any circumstance be devolved to the State of Anarchy pag. 122. their promise made to their expelled Governour binds no more That the people are remitted by the evil managing and insufficiency of their Governour to the force of Nature to provide for themselves and not bound by any promise made to their Governour pag. 123. 124 That the Magistrate by his miscarriages abdicateth himself from being a Magistrate and proveth a Brigand or Robber instead of a Defender That word Defender he writes with a great D that the reader may take notice whom he means If the Magistrate saith he have truly deserved to be dispossessed or if he be rationally doubted pag. 133. that he hath deserved it and be actually out of pospossession In the former case it is certain the Subject hath no Obligation to hazard for his restitution but rather to
