COMMON-WEALTH lest perhaps he might infect others or by his example or command turn them from the faith And that the Kingdom of such an Heretick or Prince is to be bestowed at the pleasure of the Pope with whom the people UPON PAIN OF DAMNATION ARE TO TAKE PART AND FIGHT AGAINST THEIR SOVERAIGN Out of which detestable treasonable Conclusions most Treasons and Rebellions of late times have risen in the Christian World and the first smoke of the Gunpowder Treason too as Iohn Speed observes in his History of Great Britaine p. 1250. 2. That the Iesuites have frequently put these treasonable Seditious Antimonarchical Jesuitical damnable Doctrines into practice as well against some Popish as against Protestant King Queen Princes States which they manifest 1. By their poysoning Ione Queen of Navarre with a pair of deadly perfumed Gloves onely for favouring the Protestants in France Anno 1572. 2. By their suborning and animating Iames Clement a Dominical Frier to stab King Henry the 3 of France in the belly with a poysoned Knife whereof he presently died Anno 1589. for which they promised this Traytor a Saintship in heaven 3. By Cammoles the Jesuites publick justification of this Clement in a Sermon at Paris Anno 1593. wherein he not onely extolled him above all the Saints for his Treason against and murder of Henry the 3. but broke out likewise into this further Exclamation to the people We ought to have some Ehud whether it be A MONKE or A SOULDIER or a Varlet or at least a C●w-herd For it is necessary that at least we should have some Ehud This ONE THING ONELY YET REMAINS BEHINDE FOR THEN WE SHALL COMPOSE ALL OUR AFFAIRS VERY WELL AND AT LAST BRING THEM TO A DESIRED END Whereupon by the Jesuites instigation the same year 1593. one Peter Bariere undertook the assasination of King Henry the 4 of France which being prevented and he executed thereupon they suborned and enjoyned one of their own Jesuitical Disciples John Castle a youth of 19 yeers old to destroy this King who on the 27 of December 1594. intending to stab him to the heart missing his aim wounded him onely in the cheek and stroke out one of his Teeth for which Treasonable Act he was justified applauded as a renowned Saint and Martyr by the Jesuites in a printed Book or two published in commendation of this his undertaking Yea Alexander Hay a Jesuite privy to Castle 's villany used to say That if King Henry the 4. should pass by their Colledge which he built for them he would willingly cast himself out of his window headlong upon him so as he might break the King's neck though thereby he brake his own Yet was he punished onely with perpetual banishment After which Jesuitical conspiracies detected and prevented notwithstanding this King Henry before these two attempts to murder him had by their sollicitations renounced the Protestant Religion professed himself a zealous Romanist recalled the Iesuites formerly banished for the murther of Henry the 3. against his Parliament and Counsels advice reversed all the Decrees of Parliament against them razed the publick Pillar set up in Paris as a lasting Monument of their Treasons and Conspiracies built them a magnificent Colledge in Paris endowed it with a very large revenue entertained Pere Cotton one of their Society for his Confessor who revealed all his Secrets to the King of Spain bequeathed a large Legacy of Plate and Lands to their Society by his will and was extraordinary bountiful and favourable towards them yet these bloody ingrateful villains animated that desperate wretch Ravilliac to stab him to death in the open street in Paris Anno 1610. Albigni the Iesuite being privy to this murder before it was perpetrated 4. By their suborning instigating sundry bloody instruments one after another to murder William Prince of Orange prevented in their attempts by Gods providence till at last they procured one Balthasar Gerard to shoot him to death with a Pistol charged with three Bullets the Iesuites promising him no less then HEAVEN AND A CANONIZATION AMONG THE SAINTS AND MARTYRS for this bloody Treason as they did to Iames Clement before for murdering the French King 5. By their poysoning of Stephen Botzkay Prince of Transylvania for opposing their bloody persecutions 6. By their manifold bloody Plots and Attempts from time to time to depose murder stab poyson destroy our famous Protestant Queen Elizabeth by open Insurrections Rebellions Invasions Wars raised against her both in England and Ireland and by intestine clandestine Conjurations from which Gods ever-waking Providence did preserve her Amongst other Conspiracies that of Patrik Cullen an Irish Frier hired by the Iesuits and their Agents to kill the Queen is observable Holt the Iesuite who perswaded him to undertake the murdering of her told him that it was not onely Lawful by the Laws but THAT HE SHOULD MERIT GODS FAVOUR AND HEAVEN BY IT and thereupon gave him remission of all his sins and the Eucharist to encourage him in this Treason the chief ground whereof and of all their other Treasons against this Queen was thus openly expressed by Iaquis Francis for Cullens further encouragement THAT THE REALM OF ENGLAND THEN WAS AND WOULD BE SO WELL SETLED that unless Mistris Elizabeth so he termed his Dread Soveraign though but a base Landress Son were suddenly taken away ALL THE DEVILS IN HELL WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PREVAIL TO SHAKE AND OVETURN IT Which then it seems they principally endeavoured and oft times since attempted and have now at last effected by those who conceit they demerit the Title of Saints though not in a Romish Calender and no less then Heaven for shaking overturning and making it No Kingdom 7. By their Conspiracy against King Iames to deprive him of his Right to the Crown of England imprison or destroy his person raise Rebellion alter Religion and SUBVERT THE STATE AND GOVERNMENT by vertue of Pope Clement the 8. his Bull directed to Henry Garnet Superiour of the Iesuites in England whereby he commanded all the Archpriests Priests Popish Clergy Peers Nobles and Catholikes of England That after the death of Queen Elizabeth by the course of Nature or otherwise whosoever should lay claim or title to the Crown of England though never so directly or neerly interessed by descent should not be admitted unto the Throne unless he would first tolerate the Romish Religion and by his best endeavours promote the Catholick cause unto which by his Solemn and Sacred Oath he should religiously subscribe after the death of that miserable woman as he stiled Queen Elizabeth By vertue of which Bull the Iesuites after her decease disswaded the Romish-minded Subjects from yielding in any wise obedience to King Iames as their Soveraign and entred into a Treasonable Conspiracy with the Lord Cobham Lord Gray and others against him to imprison him for the ends aforesaid or destroy him pretending that King
Iames was no King at all before his Coronation and that therefore they might by force of Arms lawfully surprise his person and Prince Henry his Son and imprison them in the Tower of London or Dover-Castle till they inforced them by duress to grant a free toleration of their Catholike Religion to remove some evil counsellors from about them and to grant them a free Pardon for this violence or else they would put some further Project in execution against them to their destruction But this Conspiricy being discovered The Traytors were apprehended arraigned condemned and Watson and Clerk two Iesuited Priests who had drawn them into this Conspiracy upon the aforesaid Pretext with some others executed as Traytors all the Iudges of England resolving that King Iames being right Heir to the Crown by descent was immediately upon the death of Queen Elizabeth actually possessed of the Crown and lawful King of England before any Proclamation or Coronation of him which are but Ceremonies as was formerly adjudged in the case of Queen Mary and Queen Iane 1 Mariae there being no Interregnum by the Law of England as is adjudged declared by Act of Parliament 1 Iac. c. 1. worthy serious perusal 8. By their horrid Gun-powder Treason Plot contrived fomented by Garnet Superiour of the English Iesuites Gerard Tesmond and other Iesuites who by their Apostolical Power did not onely commend but absolve from all sin the other Iesuited Popish Conspirators and Faux THE SOULDIER who were their instruments to effect it Yea the Iesuitical Priests were so Atheistical as that they usually concluded their Masses with Prayers for the good success of this Hellish plot which was suddenly with no less then 36 Barrels of Gunpowder placed in a secret Vault under the House of Lords to have blown up and destroyed at once King Iames himself the Queen Prince Lords Spiritual and Temporal with the Commons assembled together in the Upper-House of Parliament upon the 5 of November Anno Dom. 1605. and then to have forcibly seised with armed men prepared for that purpose the persons of our late beheaded King then Duke of York and the Lady Elizabeth his Sister if absent from the Parliament and not there destroyed with the rest that so there might be none of the Royal Line left to inherit the Crown of England Scotland and Ireland to the utter overthrow and subversion of the whole Royal Family Parliament State and Government of this Realm Which unparallel'd inhumane bloody Plot being miraculously discovered prevented the very day before the execution in perpetual detestation of it and of the Iesuits and their traiterous Romish Religion which both contrived and approved it the 5 day of November by the Statute of 3 Iacobi ch 1. was enacted to be had IN PERPETUAL REMEMBRANCE that ALL AGES TO COME might thereon meet together publickly throughout the whole Nation to render publick praises unto God for preventing this infernal Iesuitical Design and keep in memory THIS JOYFUL DAY OF DELIVERANCE for which special forms of publick Prayers and Thankesgivings were then appointed and that day ever since more or less annually observed till this present And it is worthy special observation that had this Plot taken effect it was agreed by the Iesuites and Popish Conspirators before-hand THAT THE IMPUTATION OF THIS TREASON SHOULD BE CAST UPON THE PURITANS TO MAKE THEM MORE ODIOUS as now they father all their Powder-Plots of this kinde which they have not onely laid but fully accomplished of late yeers against the King Prince Royal Posterity the Lords and Commons House our English●Parliaments and Government upon those Independents and Anabaptistical Sword-men reputed PURITANS who were in truth but their meer under Instruments to effect them When as they originally laid the Plots as is clear by Campanella's Book De Monarchia Hisp c. 25. and Cardinal Richelieu his Instructions at his death to the King of France And it is very observable that as Courtney the Jesuite Rector of the English Jesuits Colledge at Rome did in the yeer 1641. when the name of Independent was scarce heard of in England openly affirm to some English Gentlemen and a Reverend Minister of late in Cornwal from whom I had this Relation then and there feasted by the English Jesuites in their Colledge That they now at last after all their former Plots had miscarried they had found out a sure way to subvert and ruine the Church of England which was most formidable to them of all others BY THE INDEPENDENTS who immediately after infinitely increased supplanted the Prebyterians by degrees got the whole power of the Army and by it of the Kingdom into their hands and then subverted both the Parliament King and his Posterity So some Independent Ministers Sectaries and Anabaptists ever since 1648. have neglected the observation of the 5 of November as I am credibly informed and refused to render publick thanks to God for the deliverance thereon contrary to the Act for this very reason which some of them have rendred That they would not mock God in publick by praising him for delivering the late King Royal Posterity and House of Lords from destruction then by Jesuites and Papists whenas themselves have since destroyed and subverted them through Gods providence and repute it a special mercy and deliverance to the Nation from Tyranny and Bondage for which they have cause to bless the Lord Peforming that for the Jesuites and Powder-Traytors which themselves could not effect The Lord give them grace and hearts to consider how much they acted the Jesuites and promoted their very worst designes against us therein what infamy and scandal they have thereby drawn upon all zealous Professors of our Protestant Religion and what they will do in the end thereof 9. To omit all other forraign instances cited in Speculum Jesuiticum p. 124. to 130. where you may peruse them at leisure By their poysoning King James himself in conclusion as some of them have boasted 10. By the Popes Nuntio and Conclave of Jesuites Conspiracy at London Anno 1640. to poyson our late King Charles himself as they had poysoned his Father with a poysoned Indian Nut kept by the Jesuites and shewed often by Conne the Popes Nuncio to the Discoverer of that Plot or else to destroy him by the Scotish wars and troubles raised for that very end by the Jesuites in case he refused to grant them a universal liberty of exercising their Popish Religion throughout his Realms and Dominions and then to train up his Son under them in the Popish Religion To which not onely heretofore but now likewise they strenuously endeavour by all possible means to seduce him as appears more especially by Monsieur Militierre his late book dedicated to him for that purpose Surely all these premised instances compared together will sufficiently inform the world that the late unparellel'd capital Proceedings against our Protestant King Parliament Members Peers House and forced
