Seminaries was committed vnto the Iesuits presently they meditated how they might take from the Priests and Ecclesiasticall men of the Country whose deuotion and affection had beene prooued the rule and authority from ouer their flocke for to attribute it vnto themselues caused Arch-priests to bee made which should yeeld them a reason of all things and would that the contributions and almes of the Country which are not small should be distributed by their hands which caused more trouble amongst those poore Catholiques then all their persecution in the which before they medled with matters there was neuer any obiect of committing treason yea they came to such excesse that some Ecclesiasticall men of England hauing passed the Sea for to aduertise his holines of this disorder Persons the Iesuite made them to be put in prison and to be handled as malefactors and schismatikes and hindered their appeales from being receiued These poore men thus afflicted found meanes by the Councell of the Vniuersity of Paris to make the iustice of their complaint to appeare whereupon came forth the Breue of Pope Clemēt the 8. by which the Ecclesiasticall men of England were forbidden to render any account of their administration vnto the Iesuits or to their Generall nor to communicate their affaires vnto them by letters or otherwise but to addresse themselues directly to his holinesse with reuocation of that which Cardinal Caietan protector of England had decreed in fauour of them principally concerning the distribution of the almes and after that the trouble of that Church ceased and the peace thereof had continued longer had it not beene for the negotiations of the Iesuits in that which rather concerned the Monarchie of the world then the Kingdome of heauen Another example without exception and the carriage whereof was publike and notorious a testimony of the mediocrity whereof they boast that they haue gotten the perfection and of the peace which they procure vnto the Church The inquisitiō was placed in the hands of the Dominicans as well for their great and excellent knowledge as for the great seruices they had done the Catholike Church time hath not diminished the ancient and first glory of this order The Iesuits whose designe tendeth to the soueraigne dignity of the Church bethought themselues to stirre vp against them a dispute which they call de auxillijs concerning iustification thinking that by getting some aduantage vpon the reputation of these Religious men lesse cunning then they are it would bee easie to pull out of their hands this powerfull function although they neuer had abused the same Which Pope Clement vnderstanding forbad the disputation notwithstanding the Iesuits published the same and there is no man who is ignorant that this wise and holy Pope desired to abate their ambition confessing that hee had entred into speech thereof with Cardinall Tolet who preferred towards his latter end the honor and good of the Church before the factions of his society that he had sought meanes to make the counsell of Sixtus the fifth to preuaile which was to shut them vp and to submit their Generall to the capitular resolutions of the society and to make him triennall from the which that they might secure themselues they haue obtained a Bull from Pope Gregory the foureteenth which importeth excommunication to all those who should offer to enterprise the like but the Pope being not able to bring it to passe and Cardinall Tollet being deceased he would vnder colour of reforming their Order haue sent their Generall into Spaine which the Iesuits withstood affirming vnto his Holinesse that he could not do it without preiudice of his health which made one amongst them to enquire of a woman which was possessed with an euill spirit what should be the successe of that voyage doubting with others of his society that this was a meane to diminish the power of Aquauiua which is as great at Rome as that of the Pope The leauen which the Iesuits had left in the Townes where the Kings Edict touching there banishment was not executed made them alwaies to encrease the hope of their returne histories the witnesse of time the memorie of ages past the mirror of men the messenger of all the accidents which declare the truth shall faithfully report vnto posterity that they haue not omitted ought which might make for their purpose and they haue not concealed it in a great discourse composed of thirty or fourty articles which they published and supposed it to haue been made in the yeere 1603. by the King in answere to the graue remonstrances of his Parliament which they impose and thrust vpon strange nations as if it were true hauing made it to bee printed in Latin and Italian and lately Gretserus in Germany for their last discharge and also Posseuin doe imploy it in their Bibliotheca or Chronicle which they haue composed to the end that this imposture should passe current vnto posterity who after that they had beene so bold as to compare their reestablishment which was of pure and meere grace vnto the diuine and lawfull establishment of our King in his Estate yet they confesse that they obtained it as they might very hardly As we all acknowledge that the clemency of our King hath giuen peace to his people so it was necessary for him to assure the foundations thereof by iustice in case of so great so inueterate and pernicious a corruption for the sure establishment of the common weale not to content himselfe to command wel but to inhibite the committing of euill Great King which hast beene without comparison more exalted in vertue then in dignity aboue other men your good seruants wounded by the knife which hath shortened your daies shall for euer complaine that your vnmeasured clemencie and gentlenesse hath encreased the boldnesse of those who haue beene to you as very infidels as you haue beene vnto them a good and gracious King Our heart was sound our wound recouered and the griefe of the Vniuersity in particular beganne to breake away when the Iesuits emploied the intercession of Pope Clement the 8. about their reestablishment in this kingdome All Christendome can be witnesse of the deuotion which our King did beare towards the holy Sea and of the honour which hee gaue particularlie vnto Pope Clement for his high great and eminent vertues the bounty of the King more respected the contentment of the Pope and the assurance which he gaue him then the naturall apprehension of the iniuries and outrages which he had receiued so that after manie commandements vnto you my Lords and many remonstrances by you the letters which they had obteined were verified it being worth the noting that the conditions added vnto their reestablishment by meanes whereof men thought to bring them to the tearmes of simple religious men and obedient Subiects being consented and agreed vnto by the Pope were not allowed by their Generall by reason that they were different from the principall rules of
