Millain he thought them no fit men to remain within his Jurisdiction whereupon he banish'd them out of all those places esteeming it far more necessary to have such apt men and those of the finest wits quickest spirits and likelist to prove great Clerks to become secular Priests as those appointed by institution divine to take upon them the care of Souls This he prudently conceited was more convenient and the bounden duty of them that were indifferent what state of Life they took them unto in the Church of God rather to have them Secular Priests than intruded into any other Order of Religion or Monastical Life whatsoever which intermedleth not ex professo with any such Charge but live after the prescript Rules of their Orders private to themselves as their Vow and Profession bind all them to Thus he and the same Watson makes it one Article in his fifth Quodlibet Whether the Jesuits or the Seminary Seculars be fitter for Government in the English Colledges beyond the Seas and whether of the two is more necessary either respecting Gods Church or the Weal of our Country England to have the bringing up of English Youths there Which question he resolves on the part of the Seculars And indeed the Education of Youth is one of the prime Artifices of the Jesuite whereby he labours to advance himself and depretiate other Orders of Religion For this young Fry is as it were the Nursery of their Society which they study earnestly to maintain And indeed in the Admission and Institution of youths into their Colledges they use a great deal of exactness and care for the Rectors usually inform themselves of the Parentage of the Estate or hope and prospect thereof of the natural Complexions Dispositions and Genius of their promptness of wit of the proficiency in Learning in their Novitiates and Scholars all which they enter in their Adversaria or Leiger-Books like good Accomptants in distinct Columns and they make this use of these particular Enquiries that they may apply sutable Baits to engage their Novices to the love of their Rules and Order beyond any other sort of Religions so that if any should admire how so many able and learned men and such great Writers as Alegambe hath reckoned them up in his Book called Bibliotheca Societatis should as it were dote upon this Order and esteem it their priviledge and honour to be cooptated or admitted thereunto It doth much abate our wonder when we consider the Philtre of Education and the principles infused into them at their first admission with the charming and ingratiating Allurements used to them afterwards especially if noble rich and wealthy It is reported of the Irish that when they grow up they love their Nurses and Foster-Fathers better than their own natural Parents a Teneris assuescere multum est says the Poet herein the Jesuit resembles them continuing to be so highly affected with his Gremial and Nutritious Order Those who do more strictly Anatomize this Order of Men do divide them principally into three Ranks the knowledge of the division will not be unuseful to Protestants 1. There are some Gentlemen ordinarily of good houses and fair Estates who live wholly after a Secular way as Lay-Brethren of the Society they are not actually obliged to the observation of the Rules of their Order but enter into a Vow to put on the Habit when it shall please the Father-General to command them and therefore these are called Jesuits in voto of such they make mighty advantage in order to the setting up of their Monarchy or rather Pambasileia or Vniversal Dominion over all other Orders For some of this Class are usually maintained in the Palaces of all great Princes and in the houses of Noble men who by the Mediation of their Adherents are many times induced into the Prince's or Noble-man's service as Counsellours Secretary or the like these again perswade that Prince or Great-man respectively to take some actual Jesuite for his Confessor or Chaplain and by this means the secret Consultations of Princes are discover'd and their Designs prevented and yet things are so cunningly carryed that no man can fasten on the true Author but it commonly happens that the greatest suspicion lyes on the most innocent Thus an Author of their own Church 2. The second sort is of those who are actually resident in their Monasteries and Colledges as Priests Clerks or Converts who of themselves have no power to leave the Order but at the pleasure of their General and Superiours may be dispensed with these are mostly busyed in the Exercises of those Colledges to which they relate 3. The third rank is of those who are mainly given up to Policy for the aggrandizing of their Society and enlarging the Power and Priviledges thereof these are not always chosen out of the most deserving and best learned of their Society but out of the most confident bold or daring as most likely to serve their end by insinuating themselves into the Affairs and Councils of Secular Princes that from thence they may fish out what is contributary to their Designs The first and last sort are those who are chiefly excepted against and to whom Claudius Aquaria one of their own Generals did formerly impute two great Evils which he calls Secularity and Aulicism The occasion was this Their said General having observed as well as Mariana the Defects and Errours in their Government wrote a Book printed at Rome A. D. 1615. wherein he lays open the Diseases of the Society and his Essays for the healing of them take his Reproof in his own words Saecularitas Aulicismus insinuans in familiaritates gratiam externorum morbus est in Societate intra extra periculosus istis qui eum patiuntur nobis fere nescientibus paulatim subintrat specie quidem lucrifaciendi Principes Praelatos Magnates conciliandi ad Divinum obsequium hujusmodi homines Societati juvandi proximos c. sed re vera quoerimus interdum nos ipsos paulatim ad saecularia deflectimus Secularity says he and Aulicisme insinuating into the acquaintance and favour of those without is a Disease in the Society dangerous within and without to those who undergo and suffer it and it creeps in upon us almost un-a-wares the pretence is to gain Princes Prelates and Noble-men to the esteem of the Society for the Service of God and the good of our Neighbour c. but the truth is we seek our selves and by little and little revolt to a Secular Life The same Author in another Tract intituled Institutiones pro Superioribus Societatis published at Rome also the same time further describes that mischief Est alia malorum Radix longe periculosissima eoque periculosior quo minus vulgo noxia conseri solet rerum scilicet externarum occupatio in quam superiores ferri ac variis nominibus supra modum effundi solent Sunt enim qui naturae quadam propensione ad
