which I willingly let passe and come to the rest of his seditious Bookes as his Admonition and Appendix For the former of these Don Lucifer the wittiest Fiend in Hel could not haue written more spitefully so that all posteritie cannot choose but condemne him for a most scurrilous Traitour and had he beene brought vp amongst all the Ruffians and Curtizans in Christendome he could not haue learned to haue writ more vilely prophanely and heathenishly for the later to wit his Appendix the booke was impudentlie fathered on Cardinall Allen after his death being hatched by the vnnatural heat of his ambitious hart wherin the Arch-Statist presumes to cal his learned Maiestie that now is king of great Brittaine and then was of Scotland obstinate Hereticke Who so bold they say as blind Bayard he feares no colours hath no shame or conscience what he writes so he write with an invectiue humour as hath beene largely proved already Wherefore having viewed examined and reexamined his Bookes and Writings we will now enquire farther after his life and conversation for as the Poet said a man may chance to write a lewd Booke which is a sober honest man But was he so so was Don Lucifer and al the Fiends in Hell from whom this man seemed to be descended in the right line giving occasion to diverse by his soule enormous and divelish life to think that he was not a meere man but some Fairies brat or begotten by an Incubus or aerish spirit vpon the bodie of a base woman Shew me that Treason treacherie or noted villanie wherein Parsons had not a hand a heart and a head name that vice whatsoever it be lying coosening forgerie periurie craft hypocrisie dissimulation envie pride covetousnes vaine-glory backebiting selfe-loue crueltie murders and oppressions ambition heresie Atheisme whereof he was not guilty in the highest degree Speake you holy Priests of a sacred function that knew him best and lived longest with him speake boldly and shame not to tel him roundly of his faults We wil descend vnto some few particulars in order as they shal lie most convenient for our purpose and first of his foule conspiracies treasonable plots plottings of Treason You wil say perhaps it is not good rubbing that sore any more it hath beene touched alreadie to the quicke I confesse it hath beene so but in a different kinde For it is one thing to write an other to act treasons Parsons is guilty of both of the former there is little doubt by that which is spoken and of the later lesse by that which now followeth by way of evident demonstration To proue that Father Parsons was no lesse a traitour in action then in writing first we shew and can proue that we say with a wet finger that he gaue his concurrence furtherance to a forraine invasiō here in England sought to indanger his Maiesties person by the Scots set his rest vpon the hopes of Spaine procured himselfe to be the kings servant practised with the students there and diverse others to giue their names to a Charter of subscription first prophecied and promised vnto himselfe good successe and then tooke vpon him with his Iesuiticall Plotcasters to be an Actor an orator or a broker in labouring to bring that prophecie to an effect and rather then it should faile to be the bloudie instrument to worke it of his owne head Againe who is it that caused the Seminaries in Spaine and S. Omers to be erected and that alone procured 2000 crownes a yeare pension more for the College at Doway though he deserved small thanks for his labour considering the decay of Students at Rhemes and Lovaine Father Parsons Who was it that procured that the first forme of oath now vsed was brought into the Roman Seminarie and after that example by himselfe into the Seminaries of Spaine whereby al promised to take holy orders and returne into England when they should be appointed by their Superiors Father Parsons Who was it that vsed perswasion at Rome to the Students there that they should haue at State and al for which State-medling they could but die and dy they should if they were taken without State-medling Father Parsons Who is it that vpon a Luciferian pride durst presume to cal the king of Scots an obstinate hereticke and the French king a reprobate of God forsaken Father Parsons Who is it that chopped and changed the crowne of England 8. or 9. several times as it pleased him playing with it as little boies sport themselues with king by your leaue the great ones every hand while crying a New King a new and in the end set it to sale wherevpon a certaine Romish gentleman affixed a briefe Libell vpon Pasquines buttock in dirision and scorne of him If there bee any man that will buy the kingdome of England let him repaire to a Merchant in a blacke square cap in the Citty and hee shall haue a very good penny-worth thereof Was not this F. Parsons so then the premises duly considered we may safely conclude that this is that same Parsons whome all the Realme Prince and Peeres with all true English hearts haue cause to curse hate spit at and so an end of that matter Now as his predominant and most exorbitant qualitie was Treason so was he deepely learned and in a short time a great proficient in sundry other qualities belonging to the Divels craft as first for truth in him there was none Qui posuit mendacium spem suam professing the Art of lying and vsing tricks as in adding diminishing equivocating and subintelligiturs to serue his turne for you must note by the way that Equivocation is the Divels Sophistrie and the common principle of the Iesuits and he is not scarsely to be accounted a Iesuit that cannot lie dissemble and equivocate at every word these be the Aphricanian Phalanges and Iesuiticall forces Hence it is that Cameleon like he hath banded of and on with time like Protheus and in truth neither Protheus in his complements nor the Sea Euripus in his Crosse tide Ebbes and flowes for his inconstancy of old hath beene held more infamous then E.
