Proposition Murderers of Kings Popes Cardinals c. THe Iesuits and their seditious faction do broach publish such a kinde of doctrine that subiects are no longer bound to obey wicked Princes in their temporall Lawes and commandements but till they be able by force of armes to resist them A most dangerous doctrine most vnfit to be published in this age By this doctrine the Iesuits murdered Henry the third and writ a discourse against him de iusta abdicatione H 3. as if it had beene hatched in hell practised against divers kings in France defeated the Polonian of his kingdom and here in England haue sought to compasse their wicked purposes by Norfolke Stukely Saunders For all which and many mo traiterous practises the Iesuits are at this day an odious detestable Generation But though they seeke to murder wicked Princes and propose rewards to such as kill tyrants yet it may be they will spare Popes Cardinals Bishops surely no they grow as bad as bad may be namely to the outraging of that which is most holy and if there be as there are shrewd suspitions in Rome cōcerning the death of two Popes two Cardinals and one Bishop already I make no question at all but that if hereafter any Pope shall crosse their plots and purposes the Iesuits wil haue such a figge in store for his Holines that shall do so as no Rubarbe Angelica Mithridate or other medicine or Antidote shall expell the venim poison and infection from his heart nor any bezar perle gold or vnicornes horne long preserue his life after it The 62.

TO THE RIGHT VVORTHY OF ALL HONOVR FOR RELIGIon Pietie and Iustice the Reverend Iudges and Iustices of Peace for the Countie of Oxon. TRue Religion the only badg of a Christian hath two marks whereby it is certainely knowne to wit Zeale and Constancie Zeale for it must not be cold nor luke warm but fervent and hot Constancie because it endureth not for a season and continueth but a while but abideth vnto the end vnto the death for ever This zeale which is so necessarily required in all men but more properly in Magistrates and Governours hath appeared Right Honourable and Right VVorshipfull most evidently in your late proceedings against Popish Recusants at and before the last Sessions holden for this Countie at an vnvsuall time and with very extraordinary care provision for the searching finding fining and restraining of the most dangerous persons of either sexe Of your Constancie likewise perseverance in prosecuting so good beginnings smal cause haue we to doubt considering the goodnes of the cause and the greatnes of autority wherewith both your hands and hearts are strengthned from aboue to the great ioy of all his Maiesties loyall subiects Gods faithfull servants What remaineth now but that we of the Cleargie for our parts should second these happy beginnings with our vttermost indeavors by adding the word vnto the sword perswasions cōferences vnto those sharper means corrosiues which are applied shewing our selues ready to offer vp not only our labors but our selues also for the good of such as haue bin seduced by the Priests Iesuits but rather by the Iesuits then by the Priests for which cause knowing the danger being most willing if it bee possible to prevent it I haue taken paines to compile this smal Treatise that if God shall be pleased in mercy to open their eies they may see the wicked liues accursed manners hereticall doctrine more then Matchiavillian policy of that Society which they do so devoutly follow with perill both of soule and body This worke I hope will finde the better entertainement with them because it is taken wholly and soly from the writings of sundrie learned Priests who spake as they were moved vpon consideration of their wicked liues and maners so that theirs are the proofs mine the collection method only as the Quotations in the Margent wil sufficiētly declare I admit that both Priests Iesuits are to be feared more and lesse as dangerous enimies vnto his Maiesty the State but chiefly the Iesuits who hold their disciples in such servitude or rather slavery that whatsoever they say is a law that law must be obayed though God man reason or authoritie King or Kaisar say to the contrary Frō such followers as are once wholly devoted to their company it wil bee a hard matter for the Magistrate you find it by too lamentable experience to draw either the Oath of Allegiance or obedience to the Magistrat in things Temporal much lesse conference and conformity in matters spirituall For the Iesuits like the Centurion in the Gospell haue that command Iurisdictiō over their inferiors that if they bid them goe they goe if they bid them doe this they doe it without asking any question whether it be right or wrong iust or vniust which is commanded the reasō is plaine because they relie altogether vpon the Iesuit and the Iesuit vpon the Pope who is the only vnerring person vpon earth A most absurd doctrine as any is in all Popery wherewith notwithstanding they haue bewitched the soules of I knowe not how many men women otherwise very vertuously and religiously inclined and what pittie is it for vs to consider what Cimmerian more then Egyptian darknesse they doe liue in that are thus taught by their ignorāt teachers that do vow themselues blind obedience VVhen the blinde lead the blind how can it be but that both of thē should fall into the ditch Now this which is spoken against the Iesuits doth not acquit the Secular Priests nor their followers For as long as they goe about to recōcile men from their true and naturall Prince vnto the Pope and to withdraw their mindes from religion vnto superstition from Gods word vnto fables from God himselfe vnto Mammon causing them that are reconciled not only to professe all Popish points according to the doctrine of the Councell of Trent as vnwritten Traditions Transubstantiation Purgatory Indulgences worshipping of Images Reliques Iustification by workes the truth of seaven Sacraments obedience to one only Pope c. but to make them Articles of the Creed and to take a solemne Oath that they will continue in the profession of all every of them vnto the death and farthermore perswade as much as in them lyeth all others that are vnder thē to doe the like we haue iust cause to suspect both their dealings to oppose our selues against their proceedings The which thing you haue begun to doe Right Honorable and Right VVorshipfull to your eternall praise commendation and to the example and encouragement of others You haue begun well who shal be able to hinder you if God be on your side Goe forward then I beseech you in Gods name both cheerefully and couragiously you haue our earnest prayers shal be sure to haue our best endeavors if need require I knowe the readines of many learned and graue Divines to further this religious service amongst which my selfe being one of the meanest in Gods Church scarse worthy to be called a Divine doe most earnestly desire to contribute my paines and service to make knowne vnto the world the great affection which I beare vnto all sorts of people thus by the Iesuits miserably seduced whose conversion as I haue alwaies sought by good and faire meanes such as the most wayward peevishest adversaries cānot iustly except against so is it my purpose God willing so to continue vnto my liues end both by speech writing propagating that faith whereof his Maiestie of al Princes Christian may truly be said to be the Defendor and because the Iesuits are his our chiefest enimies accept I beseech you these few lines concerning their liues and maners in generall one of the chiefest of them in particular the matter was ministred vnto me by certaine Secular Priests the method in disposing and digesting of it was mine to God bee ascribed the
