A LETTER TO THE JESUITS in Prison Shewing them how they may get out FROM Mr. William Hutchinson alias Bury For Fourteen Years of their SOCIETY But now of the Church of ENGLAND Honoured Dear SIRS DO not vainly flatter your selves with the hopes of Martyrdom You know as well as I can tell you 'T is the Cause not purely Suffering which makes a Martyr If the State of Venice might lawfully prohibit you their Territories so may our Gracious Sovereign lawfully prohibit you his Dominions provided he tolerate as he does a sufficient number of Christian Priests and Bishops to Preach the Doctrine and Administer the Sacraments of our Lord Jesus to his People Seing therefore contrary to His Majesties Prohibition you have entred his Kingdoms to the disturbance of the Ecclesiastical and Civil Peace and to the disquieting of his pious Subjects Consciences by telling them they are damned for not communicating with a Prelate as their supream Pastor a thousand Miles off who has no authority over them Confess your fault and ask pardon and be gone or else heartily joyn with your Natural Liege and his Bishops in reforming abuses crept into the Christian world through the negligence of Ecclesiastical Prelates and in restoring the true primitive Christian Doctrine and Discipline to our poor Country Say no more falsly you are hardly dealt with to be prohibited your Native Soyl under pain of being Hang'd Drawn and Quarter'd for loving your Neighbours as your selves for gently admonishing them they are precipitating themselves into eternal Misery by all manner of sins and wickedness Say no more neither our Blessed Lord bids you go teach all Nations his holy Gospel but no says King James I except my three Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland You are mistaken you are not prohibited England either by our gracious Soveraign or his Royal Grandfather for your preaching Christs holy Gospel but for your superadded Doctrines of the Popes Temporal and Spiritual Supremacy of new devised Indulgences and other Trashy Tenents and practices prejudicial to our Souls health and destructive of the Civil Polity Joyn your selves to our Communion and bring a long with you as much zeal as you please against all manner of sin and wickedness only leave your Treasonable and Trashy Doctrines behind you and you are welcom Know my Dear Friends God is deservedly angry with your Society for your Deposing and other Trashy Doctrines Do not die with an Equivocation in your Mouths but confess to the glory of God and the confusion of your Order that not a man of your Society hath writ against the Popes power of Deposing Heretical Princes but either they treated not the question or else they positively held he had such a power As have done you know your Santarel Bellarmine Suarez and others And if your later Writers teach no such Doctrine 't is not because they hold it not but because they are politickly prohibited to meddle with the Controversy Your silence in this matter is a tacit consent unless you would positively renounce what your prime Doctors have positively taught If this be Christian Doctrine doubt not to die for it if not abjure it And know if you suffer Imprisonment or other Grievances for such Treasonable Doctrines you are in the sight of God no more Confessors or Martyrs then common Highway-men or other Fellons Acknowledge all your damnable Doctrines of Deposing Princes for Heresie or Mis-government of Equivocation and forswearing by Oath what you are guilty of to defend your honor c. For these and your other damnable Doctrines God evidently punishes you and your Party Heartily renounce these and God and men will favour you To say you renounce King-killing Doctrine is an Equivocation 'T is ill halting before a Cripple a Deposed King is no King but an Usurper and Rebel if he go on after his deposition to exercise Regal power And consequently it becomes lawful to the next man that meets him to Kill him if the next Heir so command So that whosoever holds the Deposing Doctrine necessarily holds King-klling Doctrine And therefore if it be your unhappy fate to die at Tyburn which I hope it will not be renounce candidly the Deposing Doctrine and confess ingenuously withall that your Writers universally either teach it or else say nothing of the Question Our Lord Jesus is purging his Church he abhorres the Papal Infallibility his Spiritual and much more his Temporal universal Supremacy your Indulgence Doctrine your Attrition Doctrine c. And so must you too if you ever expect his favor in this World or the other If ever any ones sin was legible in their punishment your and your parties is Take notice then of these seroius Reflections By a Breue from the Pope your General Licensed Santarel's Book for Deposing of Princes for Heresie or Mis-government And you are accused that your General by a Breue from the Pope appointed Officers Military and Civil in our Gracious Soveraigns Dominions You commonly teach the people that our Blessed Saviours natural Body is in Heaven and on Earth at the same time and your chief accuser must you say prove himself to have been in two places at once to make his Testimony valid You say its Pride and unsufferable Arrogancy to question the Decrees of General Councils undoubtly after they are in a manner universally received and they are looked upon as willfully blind who question your guiltiness after a whole Parliament has resolved you guilty especially after this has been also in a manner generally believed by the whole people You falsly maintain an usurped Papal Power and you are accused to make use of it to Treason and Rebellion You have notoriously abused the power of Ecclesiastical Dispensation partly by extending it to Divine Obligations in Oaths and Vows made to God and manifestly by making use of it to avarice and gain And you are believed to have a Dispensation for Lies and Perjuries in the very Article of Death Your exacting a set mulct upon Priests for Concubins looked much like a giving leave to keep one for the increase of the Church's Treasury And you are accused to have leave to commit most horrid Villanies for the Church's interest You have abused the Power of Absolution to absolve as oft as customary sinners pleased And you are accused with perjury to attest your innocency and then to absolve one another afterwards Not that I accuse you of the Crimes laid to your charge I leave you to God and your own Consciences But I say your Doctrines are the just cause of all your sufferings You have taught the World to equivocate and deny with Oathes the Crimes they are guilty of and every one is laughed at as sensless who believes a word you say or swear in your own defence If in your persons you be innocent of the crimes you are charged with your Doctrines are more manifestly punished by the Providence of Heaven At length acknowledge not onely your Personal but your
