which_o will_v prove_v as_o evident_o that_o they_o be_v bad_a and_o unfaithful_a servant_n to_o the_o pope_n but_o because_o i_o can_v do_v it_o without_o speak_v of_o a_o prince_n who_o will_v be_v

for_o who_o be_v it_o that_o have_v not_o just_a cause_n to_o complain_v of_o the_o jesuit_n yet_o as_o it_o often_o happen_v that_o sick_a person_n send_v up_o their_o cry_n to_o heaven_n and_o be_v

and_o fource_n of_o they_o so_o though_o almost_o all_o the_o world_n complain_v of_o the_o jesuit_n some_o because_o they_o be_v persecute_v by_o they_o other_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o serve_v by_o they_o with_o a_o fidelity_n become_v their_o habit_n yet_o the_o evil_n continue_v nevertheless_o because_o most_o man_n can_v perceive_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o so_o great_a a_o disaster_n but_o if_o they_o will_v examine_v the_o thing_n a_o little_a more_o exact_o they_o shall_v easy_o find_v that_o it_o be_v the_o vast_a and_o boundless_a desire_n they_o have_v to_o aggrandise_n themselves_o which_o make_v they_o think_v it_o a_o thing_n of_o no_o moment_n to_o discontent_a prince_n or_o deceive_v they_o to_o oppress_v the_o poor_a to_o spoil_v widow_n and_o ruin_v most_o noble_a family_n to_o raise_v jealousy_n and_o make_v discord_n among_o christian_a prince_n that_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o may_v insinuate_v themselves_o into_o their_o great_a affair_n but_o will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o strange_a disorder_n in_o nature_n if_o one_o of_o the_o least_o member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o that_o form_v to_o no_o other_o end_n than_o to_o serve_v as_o a_o

affair_n of_o prince_n and_o prelate_n that_o be_v as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o most_o pure_a and_o vital_a spirit_n of_o their_o interest_n to_o the_o end_n this_o order_n may_v appropriate_v and_o apply_v they_o to_o herself_o though_o she_o can_v do_v this_o without_o trouble_v the_o repose_n of_o family_n and_o kingdom_n without_o oppress_v many_o who_o rise_n shall_v rather_o be_v desire_v and_o raise_v other_o who_o deserve_v rather_o to_o be_v abase_v and_o final_o without_o thousand_o of_o other_o inconvenience_n which_o arise_v from_o hence_o i_o can_v easy_o produce_v here_o a_o great_a number_n of_o other_o reason_n draw_v from_o experience_n beside_o those_o i_o have_v already_o allege_v to_o manifest_v that_o the_o jesuit_n ambition_n be_v of_o a_o vast_a extent_n and_o that_o they_o have_v entertain_v a_o appetite_n of_o greatness_n which_o can_v suffer_v no_o limit_n or_o bound_n but_o because_o i_o affect_v brevity_n in_o these_o reflection_n it_o shall_v

will_v have_v it_o reduce_v to_o the_o form_n and_o state_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n that_o to_o that_o end_n all_o the_o church_n revenue_n shall_v be_v hold_v in_o common_a the_o

great_a a_o love_n to_o their_o society_n that_o persuade_v themselves_o it_o be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o better_o fit_v for_o the_o

they_o augment_v the_o militia_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o the_o ancient_a patrimony_n of_o our_o lord_n if_o i_o may_v thus_o speak_v their_o language_n and_o here_o it_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v need_v the_o subtlety_n of_o aristotle_n and_o the_o eloquence_n of_o tully_n to_o unfold_v the_o strange_a manner_n which_o these_o father_n use_n in_o a_o constant_a increase_n of_o their_o society_n which_o perhaps_o will_v seem_v impossible_a to_o many_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o novelty_n but_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o i_o to_o remark_n

either_o side_n of_o the_o same_o height_n confessionals_n and_o very_o often_o they_o be_v the_o confessor_n of_o prince_n too_o so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o penetrate_v into_o all_o their_o design_n and_o learn_v all_o the_o resolution_n as_o well_o of_o the_o prince_n as_o of_o their_o subject_n of_o which_o they_o present_o give_v advice_n to_o their_o general_n or_o to_o the_o assistant_n which_o remain_v at_o rome_n now_o any_o man_n that_o have_v the_o least_o judgement_n may_v perceive_v the_o damage_n which_o this_o sort_n of_o people_n bring_v to_o sovereign_a prince_n who_o have_v no_o other_o end_n in_o any_o thing_n but_o their_o own_o interest_n for_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o thing_n more_o necessary_a
