CAMILTONS Discoverie OF THE DEVILISH DESIGNES AND KILLING PROJECTS of the Society of JESUITES of late yeares Projected and by them hitherto acted in GERMANY Intended but graciously prevented in England Translated out of the Latine Copie DEDICATED To the high Court of Parliament By W. F. X. B. Minister of CHRISTS Gospell From all Sedition and privie Conspiracie from all false Doctrine and Heresie Good Lord deliver us LONDON Printed by T. FAVVCET dwelling in Grubstreet 1641. TO THE HIGH AND HONOURABLE The LORDS and House of COMMONS of England in PARLIAMENT Assembled My Lords and Gentlemen ABout twelve yeares agoe there came to my hand a little tract written in Latine by one who stiled himselfe JOHANNES CAMILTONUS and professed himselfe to have been sometimes a Probationer in that Colledge of Iesuites in Germany whereof JACOCUS DEL RIO at that time Provinciall was the Visitor This booke in the yeare 1607 was by him written and dedicated to the Protestant Electors of Germany as a Discovery before-hand of those most damnable 〈…〉 Society then had in agitation against the people of Germany The title of this booke was De studiis Iesuitarum abstrusioribus concerning the more secret and reserved practises of the Iesuites Whereunto had those Princes to whom this booke was Dedicated given such timely ●are and beliefe as they might have done they had in all probability prevented the greatest part of those unparallel'd miseries which since the beginning of the warres there and that was not till eleven yeares after the publication of this booke these Jncendiaries of Christendome have brought upon the Germaine Nation to the astonishment of all the world But wee see what hath since beene permitted to these fellowes to doe and what the neglect of a timely taking heed to a seasonable warning hath brought upon those then flourishing Princes and States That we therefore might learne by other mens harmes to re 〈…〉 e our owne particular I have endeavoured the publication of this translation under your honours protection having taught this Discoverer to speake our language for the publique benefit of our English Nation against them I dare boldly say even your selves being my Judges when you shall have read this small tract that the same course hath beene taken by these common Incendiaries for breeding a disturbance and bringing all things into a confusion both in our Church and State that was then projected and since then acted upon Germany Nor doe I thinke but it is sufficiently knowne to your Honours and grave Wisedomes that the same wheele of mischiefe that wrought all the woes of Germany since the yeare 1618. hath for some yeares last past bin set also at worke in England Scotland and Ireland witnesse all the factions and fractions in Church and State the disturbances and discontents betweene the Prince and the people the fearefull divisions betwixt the Clergie and the Clergie betwixt the Court and City and betwixt the King and his Commons yea even betwixt the two Crownes of England and Scotland all which have received their birth and breeding from the devilish designes of those sonnes of division the Society of Jesuites and beene fomented almost to a perfect flame by their Agents and Adherents their deluded Disciples of this Nation and had undoubtedly broken out and produced in short time the like effects among us that they have done in Germany had not Almighty God in meere mercy to this Nation and in his Divine compassion to his poore Church in England thus ready to perish stept in to our rescue by his blessed hand of providence stirring up the spirits of our noble Peeres to represent to his sacred Majestie the eminent danger and gratiously inclining his Royall heart to hearken thereto and so that we may say with the Psalmist Ps. 118. 23. This was the Lords doing and it is marvailous in our eyes And the same God if it be his blessed will in his owne time by his owne meanes perfect that good worke of mercy which he hath so gracioussy begun for us of this Land and Nation by rooting out from amongst us that disloyall brood of Inigo Loiola that our eyes may see it and we may say the Lord hath beene megni●●ed upon the borders of England For assuredly though the Romish Factors may now justly say as EDOM did in the Prophecye of Malachy 1 4. We are impovverished but we will retur●e and build up our desolate places for they cannot but be sensible of their owne 〈…〉 ets defeated both by Sea and Land by water in the yeare 1588 by F●●e 1605 and it is not to be doubted that they apprehend a feare of the miscarriage of their great and long intended plot of 〈◊〉 begun to ●eake out this yeare 1641 all which notwithstanding they still retaine a resolution 〈…〉 and build up their desola●e places yet I desire them to read and take notice of the words following in the place before-cited yet thus saith the Lord of Hosts They shall build up but I will destroy and men shall call them the border of wickednesse and the people with whom the Lord is angry for ever And your eyes shall see it and men shall say the Lords name hath beene magnified upon the borders of England And to speake truly what I thinke I must confesse that I have conceived an hope of a long time that this yeare 1641. which compleateth the Century since that Society had their Bull from the Pope under protection whereof they have wrought so much mischiefe would shew unto the world an apparant alteration in the body of that Monster the Society of Jesuites A point which I am the rather induced to beleeve because I have been certified as much in effect from a couple of their owne men of eminent note for learning the one PAVLUS FLOR●NIUS an Italian the other CHRISTIANUS FRANKEN a German the former whereof was DIVINITY READER the other PHILOSOPHY READER in the Imperiall Colledge of Iesuites at Vienna both which above threescore yeares agoe upon just grounds exprest in a booke by them published forsooke that Religion and became Protestants That booke also is to be seene and if it please this Honourable House to command it shall be published also in English for I find it written in Latine And if their prediction faile not more in the conclusion then it hath done in the progresse hitherto I am confident that this mayprove a very fatall yeare to that Society But I feare I hold you too long from the Booke it selfe Humbly therefore commending you all to Almighty God in my due and daily prayers I leave this Discovery to your consideration and rest Yours in all the duty of a Minister of Christs Gospell W.
