spirituall gifts to Naaman Secondly that by their sophisticall and deceitfull beggerie they daily scrape golde and money into their hands Thirdly that too proudly and too too sumptuously which is abhominable in Gods sight and all good mens they bestow 30. pound vpon one gelding of which sort they haue many at once and 30. pound vpon one girdle and hangers Fourthly that so soone as they become Iesuites that is to say poore begging fryers they are vpon their cockhorse and thinke their betters to be enworthie of their presence Fiftly that they feede the humour of the sicke with faire promises of extraordinarie absolations so to draw some rich legacies from them Sixtly that they apply their simple vow and auriculer confession to enrich themselues and to fill their cofers Seuenthly that they receiue great summes of mony for dispensations Eightly that they cause men to make restitution for goods vniustly gotten and conuert the money to their owne proper vses Wherfore I must needs conclude that they are as blinde as beetles that doe not see there irrelegious dealing but wil yeeld their soules to their vnchristian guiding Among many other meanes which the holy Iesuites haue to enrich themselues this is not the least to wit the drawing of men into their holy exercise A yonge gentleman not long since entering into this exercise vnder a yong Iesuite here in England was found by his meditations to haue landes yet vnsold worth one hundreth markes a yeare which hindred his iourney to heauen Whereupon he offering the same to the said yonge Iesuite the good father allowing the offer said that if he should receiue the land her maiestie would take it from him but quoth he sell it and then I am capable of the monie By which Ghostly counsell the Gentleman set his land to sale and was offered 900. pound for it but the holy father insisting vpon a 1000. pound the Gentleman died before a chap-man could be gotten and so the good father lost all I omit how many poore yong men falling into these good Fathers hands to be exercised haue fallen into sundry inconueniences and growen to be broken-brayned euer after these words are set downe in the discouery pag. 27. quodlibet 5. art 10. pag. 99. See more to this purpose in the thirde booke in the ninth aduiso chap. 4. Of the quality nature and religion of the Iesuits Paragraph I. Of there equiuocations A An other thing is to be generally misliked in the Iesuites and it is their equiuocating which you may tearme in plaine english lying and cogging For this amongst others is one of their rules that a man framing to him selfe a true proposition when he is asked a question he may conceale thereof as much as he thinketh good For example one demaunding of you whether if the Pope should come in warlike manner to inuade this lande by force of armes you would take his part or y● Queenes you framing this answere in your minde wee will take the Queenes ●t if the Pope will command vs so to doe may by their doctrine giue this answere lawfully viz. we will take the Queenes part and conceale the rest whereby he that asked the question is plainely deluded these words he shall find in the sparing discouerie Pag. 11. quodlib 2. art 4. page 66. Sée chapter second in fine Standish that honest man must haue accesse to the Popes holinesse accompanied with two runnagates both of them priests doctor Haddocke and M. Martin Array These must take vpon them that they were men deputed from the secular priests in England c. His holines hearing and marking well their suite demāded of them in expresse termes if that which they had said vnto him proceeded from the desire and consent of his louing priests in England affirming that otherwise hee would in no sorte giue any eare vnto them Whereunto Master Standish very well instructed before by father Parsons and sufficiently assisted by the said two lying priests answered that what he had presumed to deliuer to his holinesse he had done it most assuredly by their consent The said Standish after his returne into England being asked by certane priests how he durst presume so impudently to abuse his holynesse with so intollerable an vntruth he excused himselfe in this sort Viz. that when he said he had the consent of the secular priests in England to make that motion his answere therein was made by him cautè that is subtilly or by equiuocation meaning to himselfe Viz. as he supposed or presumed which words hée kept in his mind and vttred not These words are set down in the relation Page 55. and 56. Note here gentle reader two thinges out of this present Paragraph First that the Iesuites are indifferent men and make no more conscience to deceiue their holy father the pope at Rome then they doe to deceiue our soueraigne Ladie the Queene here in this land Secondly that the most essentiall pointe in all the Iesuiticall religion consisteth in lying and cogginge Paragraph II. Of the crueltie and tyrannie of the Iesuites THe Iesuites giue it out that the most vnlearned Iesuite doth farre excell the most learned secular prieste both in faculties and priuiledges And it is noysed about as it were by the common cryer that they haue power from his holinesse to grant to all and euery one all and singular their faculties in so much as it shall not be lawfull and safe for any to vse there priuiledges though granted to them from his holines many yeares before but with the leaue and consent of these Iesuites And whē they giue out their faculties they doe not bestow them on learned godly or holy men but on vnlearned vngodly and irreligious nay seditious persons such as follow their humor stowpe at their becke and stand bounde euer after to them These words are set downe in the relation page 69. and 70. The Iesuites so rule in all gentlemens houses where they reside that no lease must be let but by their aduise the tenants must either please them or repent at leasure Such fines must be taken as they thinke connenient and some part of them must be imployed as they shall prescribe ordine ad deum in effect they doe so rule and ouer rule as scarsely can the master or mistres of the house giue a piece of bread at their doores but it must be done with their approbation And for the seruants they are much more at their commandement thē at thers whome they serue Wée would bee loath to tell you how all this comes to passe These words are to be red in the discouerie pag. 15. and 16 quodlib 3. art 4. page 68. Note heere that disloyall subiects goe and doe at euerie traytors becke but are as dulle as snailes to goe or doe at the command of their annointed Princesse The Iesuites desire that England should be conuerted of none but Iesuits only for they will admit no fellow-laborers

may bee gainesaide in respect of the euerie daye expected conquest for other reason none can be yeelded and yet this perforce must be reiected Paragraph II. Of the Iesuite Bellarmine now Cardinall of the sea of Rome To proue the Iesuite Parsons an impudent and a most notorious lyer it is sufficient to pervse to remember what is already said thereof in the third chapter of this booke for after that Parsons hath set downe the narration of the seculars and freely granted the greater part thereof to be true yea the whole in effect as there it is proued and so needeth not here to be recounted he forthwith like a desperate ruffian and as one vnmindfull what he had immediately written affirmeth with shamelesse lippes and rayling tongue that the whole narration is false Which doubtles is such a notorious vntruth as nothing is worthy to be of credite that shall heare after procéede from his penne Paragraph III. Of the students in the English Colledge Parsons that arrogant Iesuite for his owne credite if it would be telleth vs in the apologie in the 184. page that vpon a certaine falling out betweene Maister Doctor Lewes then arch-deacon of Cambray and after bishop of Cassane and the English youthes then students in the English Colledge the said youthes aboue 30. in number were all dismissed thence and yet brought againe and placed in the colledge by his good meanes Thus doth this good fellow boast of his rare fauours towards the english students and his deserts in this behalfe are excéeding great if we will beleeue him But I assure thee gentle reader whosouer thou art and I speake vpon mine owne knowledge as who was at the same time one of the same number that this is to be enrolled among his other notorious vntruthes For first there was no disagreement at all betwéene the late Bishop of Cassana and the students Againe the contention was indeed betweene the Cardinal Morone then the protector of the English and the students or rather the Iesuites who like wilie foxes did all in all couertly and yet would séeme openly to be most vnwilling to haue the gouerment of the colledge Thirdly Parsons was at that time a man of no reckening among the Iesuits neither did he or could hee doe anie thing in that behalfe The reason hereof is euident because he confesseth in the said apologie that the colledge was erected in the yeare 1579. And that himselfe entered into the societie in the yeere 1574. so that he had then béene Iesuite scantly foure yeeres whereof one must be allotted for his probation now if any wise man wil beléeue him that he could be of such credite with them vpon so short a tryall he may but my selfe know the contrarie and so doe many moe yet liuing viz. Maister Meredith Maister Griffeth Maister Morgan M. Elize and sundrie others but none better then Maister Mush if he list to speake the truth therein Fourthly there were at that time Iesuited English men of long continuance in that societie who should rather haue done that exploit then this good father if it had béene but for comely order sake but as I said afore the Iesuites would not be knowen to deale in the matter Fiftly this good fellowe this good father I would say will needes bee the only man that procured the schollers to stay and a thing to bee laughed at the graue and learned father Toledo afterward Cardinall was but an instrument to helpe the said Parsons in his imployment A shame it is for this fellow to tell of himselfe such a shamelesse lye The truth is this the generall of the Iesuites was desirous indeed to haue the gouernment of the colledge committed to his societie as who knew right well that it would tend both to his credit and to his commoditie But for feare of the displeasure of Cardinall Morone who tooke part with Maister Morice the welch-man whome he had designed to be the Rector of the colledge he neither would deale openly for the schollers neither suffer any of the societie to concurre with thē in that behalfe yet he did that secretly which was the vpshot and end of all viz. he commanded by a secret message the reuerend father Toledo a great learned man and one of great reckening with the Pope at that time that he would instantly beseeth the Pope prostrate on his knees before his holinesse and to make a most pitifull lamentation for the ouethrow of England that is forsooth that now were reiected the finest wits the most toward youthes the seede of poperie and the only hope of the English nation who now exiled for zeale in religion and come to be his popish vassals must either be trained vp in papistry after the Iesuiticall manner or els should England neuer be reclamed world without end this swéet narration noe sooner sounded in the Popes eares but the commanded the schollers to be receiued into the colledge againe Where note by the way what politicians the Iesuites bee This Toledo was a Iesuite then remaining in the Popes house with the Pope and was the Popes chiefest aduiser in all ecclesiasticall causes He then being a Iesuite must needs doe the designement of his generall the maister Iesuite of all the rest For his profession was to obey at a beck And for that he was present with the Pope in his pallace Bel-v●dére he was free to deale without suspition in this great and weightie matter Lastly being in high esteeme with the Pope and speaking in a cause so plausible and profitable for his holinesse he was most likely to preuaile in his suite which I protest to the reader the Iesuits did more then once promise to the schollers before it came to passe Thus it is most apparant to euerie indifferent reader that the goodly story which Parsons telleth for his owne vaine glory is a lye with a witnesse For the first credite that euer he got was wrought by his treacheries treasons against his natiue country most noble England By reason whereof he crept into such credite with the King of Spaine that now he is able to doe all in all both with that Kinge and the Pope himselfe Wherefore my opinion is this that the seculars are ouer matched and that howsouer they bragge that they will haue audience or els dye for it one after another yet are they more like many of them if they goe to Rome to be cast into their holy most holy inquisition for Parsons hath now by the reason of their writings matter enough to worke vpon and therefore their best course is to submitte themselues to Queene Elizabeth and to bid the Pope faire well with all his traytorous Iesuites Paragraph IIII. Of the dealing of the Iesuite Parsons during his aboad in England THe seculars write that Parsons being in England did so exasperate the minds both of the Prince and magistrates by his doings as then first of all by that occasion capitall lawes were appointed against

Of his notortous treasons and bloodie trecheries THe next point brought in by father Parsons is the last Irish attempt but before we say any thing to that we must put his fatherhood in minde of his practises concerning two other preparations wherein he cannot denie himselfe to haue beene not onely a dealer but also the verie chiefe and principall actor The first was that whe●in Doctor Stillington and some others got their death which miscarried by reason of the ignorance of their pilotes or rather by the prouision of God thirtie foure ships being shiuered vpon their owne bayes If he denie this wee haue master Thomas Leake a reuerend priest and others witnes thereto with whom he dealt to goe in that armie And because master Leake refused he intreated him accordingly This preparation was intended as then was thought for Ireland The second preparation was some thrée or foure yeares after if I be not deceiued of which father Parsons maketh mention in a letter written to master Thomas fitzharbert from Rome into Spayne desiring to heare of the successe thereof saying withall that they had little hope of that attempt at Rome This preparation as I remember was in the same yeare that the Earle of Essex went into the Ilands and it miscaried also by tempests These two preparations are so euident to haue procéeded with his concurrēce cooperation as he no way can denie it without the note of impudencie so many witnesse and his owne letters being in testimonie against him What wise man will not laugh at father Parsons to heare him in such sober protestation affirme that he neuer intended that the king of Spaine should haue any temporall interest to the Crowne of England and yet by all his might and power seeke to make him master thereof by inuasion and force of armes Was the booke of titles wherein the kings daughter the Ladie Infanta was intituled to all her Maiesties dominions writ to no purpose but to exercise father Parsons wit was it a vaine speculation in the ayre without relation to effect or end there is a most trayterous letter of his extant which in time may come to light But should I labour to light a candle at noone tide whose positions good father are these the Catholikes in England may fauour Tyrone in his warres and that with great merit and hope of eternall reward as though they warred against the Turkes All Catholikes do sinne mortally that take part with the English against Tyrone can neyther be saued nor absolued from their sinnes by any priest vnlesse they repent and leaue the English They are in the same case that shall helpe the English with any victuals or any such like thing The most worthie prince Hugh ô Neale and other Catholikes of Ireland that fight against the Queene are by no construction rebels How say you fryer Robert out of what forge came these warlike engins they were hammered in Salamanca the seuenth day of March 1602. and are as you see read hote But what Vulcan was the workeman of them you shall heare euerie one of them speake for themselues So I Iohn de Sequenza professour of Diuinitie in the Colledge of the societie of Iesus in the famous Vniuersitie of Salamanca do thinke I Emanuel de Royas professor of Diuinitie in the same Colledge of the societie of Iesus am of the same opinion I Iasper de Mena professor of diuinitie and of the sacred scripture in the same Colledge doe assent to these fathers sentence as to an assured truth I Peter Osorio preacher in the Colledge of the societie of Iesus at Tire ain altogether in iudgement with these fathers Now father Parsons speake out man haue any of your company beene practicioners in the treasons of Ireland the Catholike author of the Iesuites Catechisme telleth vs that all the late rebellious treacheries and murthers hée there mentioneth were plotted and contriued in the colledges of the Iesuites in France and doe not these Iesuiticall professors tell vs as much of their owne procéedings in their colledges in Spaynt for our treasons rebellions and murthers in Ireland I can be but sorie that the auncient Christian faith and rebellion of Christ should thus be scandalized by Machiuilians vnder pretence of the blessed name of Iesus We can alledge his letter written to the Earle of Angus the 24. of Ianuarie 1600. wherein he confesseth that he had laboured eight or tenne yeares for his Maiesty of Scotland and the preferment of his title with the summe of twentie hundred crownes a yeare for two yeares together from Spayne which were as hee saith disbursed in the yeare 1583. and 84. as also 4000. crowns procured to y● same effect from Pope Gregory the 13. by bil of exchange which he confesseth he brought to Paris and there deliuered it And he saith the same had continued it any correspondencie of gratitude or hope had continued from Scotland with no small assurance of farre greater matters and aduauncement to the kings person if the enemies since of both our Realmes as hée saith had not ouer throwne and altered that course This he hath in that letter and much more Whereby you may perceiue what his practises haue béene from time to time against her Maiestie and State séeking first as you see by large pensions from Spayne to worke with the Scots and others for the vntimely aduancement of his title which must haue beene with the ouerthrow of her Maiestie or otherwise you know it could not haue beene And heere I request the reader to note these labours of father Parsons for the affayres of Scotland to haue beene in the yeares 1583. and 1584. in which selfe same yeare happened the trayterous plots of Patry Frances Throgmorton and the Earle of Northumberland and the practises with the Duke of Guise Spayniard and other English abroade about the deliuerie of the Queene of Scots and ouerthrow of her Maiestie and shortly after the treasons of Babington and his complices Which I note that you may see how father Parsons courses concurred at the same instant with their attempts and by this you may gesse whether it be not more then probable that he was inward with all those deuises and perhaps some of that money was imployed to the setting forward of those attempts though he would seeme cleare in all things But it is Gods will that his owne letters and writings should discouer his dealings There want not other letters of his and his complices which shew his good will towards our soueraigne and countrey but these shall be sufficient at this time These words are set downe in the reply to Parsons libell Fol. 65. fol. 66. fol. 67. fol. 68. The Iesuite Parsons caused the students in Spayne to subscribe to the Ladie Infantaes title to the crowne of England and to what else he would hauing gotten their names to three seuerall blankes These wordes are set downe in the hope of peace page 22. and they are defended to be true in
