going frō the bridge ouer the riuer of Mayne from the Citty of Herbipolis or Wirtzburge to the Castle where he held his Court or Residence which Castle is neere vnto the sayd Citty His murther was caused by a Gentleman of the same Countrey of Franconia called Grumbagh What kynd of Iesuit this Gentleman was resteth in consideration for Catholike he was not but a professor of the new pretended reformation and so were also the actours which he imployed in committing of the murther The second in this vnfortunate nūber was Henry King of Scotland by his mariage with Mary Queen of Scotland Father to his Maiesty King Iames now King of England Scotlād c. This Prince was a Catholike and was murthered by a conspiracy of Caluinists and by Caluinists which thereunto were imployed he is thought to haue byn strangled These then must needes haue bin Caluinisticall Iesuites aswell those I meane that were of the conspiracy as the executors of the fact for there was not one Catholike among them The third was Iames Earle of Murray in Scotland bastard Brother vnto Mary Queene of Scotland before named He was a rebell and a persecutour of the Queene his Soueraygne and Sister by the Fathers side He forced her to fly into England and Tyrannically vsurped the Gouernment of her Kingdome vntill the time that a Gentleman named Hamilton slew him with a gun in the towne of Lithquo when being on horsbacke he was accōpanyed with many Gentleman that came with him to make his entry into that towne Hamilton notwithstanding escaped and fled into France The Earle was in religion Caluinist and so was Hamilton also that slew him It may be that he afterward in France became a Catholike If the Holland Caluinists wil make a Iesuyte of him then must he haue byn a Caluinisticall Iesuite when he committed the fact for Catholike-Iesuite he neuer was The fourth in this number was Francis Duke of Guyse This valiant Prince seruing the King of France agaynst his rebells was by one Iohn Poltrot who came behind him shot throgh the body with a pistoll as he was on horsebacke in his iourney it is worthy the noting that this Poltrot being well horst and hauing discharged his pistoll vpon the Duke put spurres to his horse and made a way with all speed possible and hauing ridden the whole night and not otherwise weening but that he was many myles from the place where he committed the murther was in the morning apprehended neere vnto the place where the deed was done If this Poltrot must now be made a Iesuyte he must then be a Geneuian Iesuyte for Geneua was his schoole and Beza the Caluinian Rabbin his schoolmayster that instructed him to murther this Prince The fifth in this nūber was William of Nassaw Prince of Orange who being in open rebellion agaynst his lawfull Soueraygne Lord King Philip second of Spayne the which by all the lawes of the world is Crimen laesae maiestatis was at Delfe in Holland slayne with a pistoll by one Baltazar Gerard alias Seragh a Burgundian Of what religion this Prince was there is no certainty but Baltazar that slew him was a Catholike that he was a Iesuyte was neuer knowne but if Caluinistes haue gotten the skill to make him a Iesuyte eight and thirty yeares after his death who in his life was neuer any it may be registred for a Caluinisticall miracle The sixt in nūber was Mary Queene of Scotland Mother vnto his Maiesty that now is King of Scotland and Englād c. This Princesse being an absolute and soueraygne Queene being enforced by her rebellious subiects fled into England vpon hope and promise to be by Queene Elizabeth succoured She was with the Queene of England in good peace and amity and was by her through her letters inuyted for her more defence and safety to come into England but so soone as she was there arriued she was layed handes on and detayned as a prisoner directly against all right and reason and so detayned about the space of twenty yeares In all which tyme Queene Elizabeth did neuer so much as once vouchsafe to see her or heare her speake In the end when she accepted of the meanes that was offered her for the escaping out of her vniust imprisonment she was murthered with an axe by the hands of the comon Hang-man which most foule and great murther was cōmitted to the euerlasting dishonour shame of false Iustice because it was done vnder the cloke and colour of true Iustice for she being an absolute Soueraigne Princes of herselfe was no subiect vnto Queene Elizabeth or vnto her lawes and yet notwithstanding she was condemned as a criminall subiect A most Tyrannous example of very murther and iniustice vnto all ensuyng posterity And most contrary to the doctrine of Caluinists that will haue Princes subiect to no authority or power vpon earth but only vnto God vnlesse they can heere make a God of Bul the Hangman This act doth the more remain to the greater shame of the actors because vpon the committing therof great bonfyers were made in the streets and the belles rung in manner of a triumph for ioy of obtaining some great victory This Queene was a Catholike The Hangman that murthered her was a Caluinian Protestant whose handes had byn imbrued in the bloud of diuers Iesuytes Priestes in the raigne of the forsayd Queene Elizabeth If Holland Caluinistes will now make a Iesuyte of of him he must then be a Gewse-reformed Iesuite that can be no great disreputation vnto them seeing that Mayster Paul Bafous a hangman in Liuonia or Liftland left his office of hangmanship and turned preacher of the Word according to the Holland reformation Vpō the death of this holy Queen the Calumnies of Caluinists raised against Iesuytes are contradicted in the ensuing Epigramme OVR Caluinists of Iesuites complayne That they of Kings and Princes killers be But if heerin they did not falsely fayne They must some such the world let know and see But since so much as one they do not show To what end then serues this Calumniation To seeme to hate for sooth Prince-killing so As hauing thereof no imagination And that meane whyle they heerof others taxe They as vnseene may bring them to the axe The seauenth in this number is Henry the third King of France who after he had caused Henry Duke of Guyse his brother the Cardinall to be muthered was murthered himselfe by one Iacques Clement a lacobin or Dominican Friar This King was a Catholyke so was also the Fryar that killed him If our Holland-Gewses wil now make a Iesuyte of him that dyed in the habite of a Dominican Fryar for he was presently killed by those that then were about the King they can do more then the French Hugenots who would as fayne haue had him a Iesuite as the Holland-Gewses would but they must notwithstanding be contented to let him be a Dominican

sundry Orders and that a Duke hath byn seene to become a Capuchin in Paris and the Brother of a Duke to become of the same austere order in Bruxelles I was mooued to thinke that it may belōg before we may see a Gewse or Caluinian Duke or Prince become a Minister albeit that condition of life obligeth not to the making and performing of any such vowes or to any austerity at all but to liue with ease in the Ghospell of free liberty There is a prouerbe in the Netherland language that Herman did in tyme get on his dublet after he had byn seauen yeares drawing on of one sleeue but I suppose Hermans dublet might wholy be gotten on and quite worne out before a man might see such persons moued by the great piety they might obserue in Ministers to enter with them into the seruice of the Word But to returne vnto my precedent purpose me thinkes it were not heere impertinent to see and consider what cause there may be found of the great hatred which Caluinists beare vnto Iesuytes and not Caluinists alone but all other Sectaryes for albeit they beare il will and hatred vnto all Catholikes especially vnto all Ecclesiasticall persons yet is it manifest vnto al the world that the Iesuites of all others haue the precedence in the malice of Caluinists And seeing something there may seeme to be that is singular in these religious men more then in others I haue the more endeauored to discerne what this may be and three thinges I haue obserued 1. This first is that there was neuer any Order in the Catholik Church that in so short a space hath dispersed it selfe so farre ouer the world to make the name of Iesus Christ knowne vnto heathen and Pagan people 2. The second is that there was neuer any Order that in so short a tyme hath written so many learned bookes aswel in diuinity as in al other laudable sciences 3. The third is that there was neuer any Order that in so short a tyme hath had so great a number of Martyrs as well by the persecution of Pagans as Apostata Christians As for their exercises of deuotion labour in preaching hearing of confessions instructing and bringing vp of youth in learning without any recompence of their parents making of attonements where there is dissention and discord readines at all houres of the day and night to visit the sicke and to consolate their soules is not now needfull heere to be spoken at large but when I well consider their manifold deedes of Deuotion and Charity I remember the wordes of Christ vnto the Iewes when for his good deedes they would haue stoned him to death I haue wrought many good workes among you for which of those will you stone me Enuy is the deadly enemy of vertue and of wel-prospering The Iesuites thankes be to God do go well forward in al their works of piety and for these Sectaryes will stone them and beeing themselues the actual murtherers of Iesuytes it is no maruell that they seeke to robbe tak away the good name fame of those whose lyues they let not to take away nor is it any wonder that they to coulour their owne tyrannous murthering of Iesuites giue out that Iesuytes are murtherers of Princes Potentates As if themselues did put Iesuites to death therby to saue the lyues of Princes potentates which Iesuites would els bereaue them off But what loue Caluinists and principally Holland-Gewse-Caluinistes do beare vnto Princes themselues doe now adayes the lōger the more make better known vnto the greatest Princes of Christendome then they can make knowne vnto them that Iesuites are murtherers of them and of Potentates The Hollander I must confesse that you haue heere manifested vnto me much more then before I euer knew or heard of But yet notwithstanding that it cannot be perceaued that the Iesuites haue had any hād in the deaths of any of the eight Princes heere by you mentioned it should seeme they haue had knowledge of intentions of murthering Princes as of Queene Elizabeth of England King Henry the fourth of France before he was murthered by Rauaillac his Maiesty that is now King of Great Britayne by the gunpowder Treason his Excellency Prince Maurice in Holland The Brabander For the first concerning Queene Elizabeth of England if we well consider her abandoning of the Catholike Religion which at her coronation she swore to mayntayne and that beeing a woman she tooke vpon her supreame authority in Ecclesiasticall causes which your Caluinian deuines in Holland do affirme to be Idolatry either in man or woman ordayning also by her Statutes that those who should deny to confesse her Ecclesiasticall authority vpon their oathes should suffer death as traytors That she deposed and put from their places the Catholike Bishops and Prelates casting some in prison forcing others to fly the realme That she ordayned a forfayture of twenty poundes a moneth for not comming to her Caluinian-protestant Church-seruice with other lesser forfaytures for Catholikes of lesse meanes who in regard of their consciences absented themselues from the sayd seruice by meanes whereof the prisons euery where became so replenished with Catholikes that new prisons must be made for thē because the old could not conteyne the number Moreouer the putting to death of so many Catholike Priestes as also the putting to death and ruyning of some Gentlemen and others that had harbored them The question now is whether Gewses or Caluinists being to the contrary so treated by any Prince that had sworne to maintayne their Caluinian religion they would with patience endure it Who can belieue this Seeing they haue not letted to rebell agaynst their Princes and Soueraignes that haue intruded no innouation or change in religion vpon them as agaynst the Kings of Spaine France and against Mary Queene of Scotland who I say can belieue this when it is apparent that the very ground-worke and foundation of Caluinian religion is layed setled vpon rebellion as to all the world it is manifest This Queene Elizabeth was so seuere and cruell that she letted not to burne alyue some of our countrey-men beeing Netherlanders not her borne Subiects for their Anabaptisme and caused some Puritans which are directly concurring in religion with the Caluinists of Holland to be hanged and others to fly the realme and lyue in exile because they had sought both by wryting and preaching to bring the religion of England to the iust forme and fashion of that of Geneua Holland Punishing then the Anabaptistes as heretikes and the Puritans as seditious she hath not letted to vse a greater cloke and colour for her persecuting of Catholikes and this was to cause to be giuen out at diuers times that they meant to kill her She imployed among other for one of her spyes sometyme in France somtyme in Italy one William Parry This Parry coming vpon a tyme out of Italy supposing to get more credit
