a_o discovery_n of_o the_o society_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o politic_n write_a original_o by_o a_o wellwisher_n to_o the_o jesvit_n to_o the_o reader_n we_o be_v by_o a_o divine_a authority_n assure_v that_o there_o be_v those_o in_o the_o world_n who_o who_o like_o the_o deaf_a adder_n out_o of_o pure_a obstinacy_n will_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o charmer_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o hate_v to_o be_v reform_v thence_o be_v it_o that_o according_o experience_n be_v so_o pregnant_a to_o show_v that_o of_o all_o the_o people_n these_o look_n on_o the_o least_o discovery_n of_o their_o enormity_n as_o the_o most_o heinous_a injury_n can_v be_v do_v they_o make_v so_o little_a advantage_n either_o of_o the_o charm_a admonition_n of_o friend_n or_o the_o consorious_a reproach_n of_o adversary_n that_o they_o think_v it_o the_o great_a shame_n that_o may_v be_v to_o retract_v and_o choose_v rather_o to_o betray_v their_o exasperation_n then_o express_v any_o desire_n of_o amendment_n that_o the_o ensue_a piece_n be_v write_v long_o since_o and_o that_o by_o a_o person_n not_o much_o a_o enemy_n to_o the_o jesuit_n be_v thing_n not_o to_o be_v dissemble_v as_o be_v remarkable_a from_o several_a passage_n of_o it_o but_o to_o give_v a●_n a_o account_n of_o the_o present_a revival_n of_o it_o be_v what_o can_v be_v do_v without_o a_o certain_a regret_n and_o compassion_n that_o religious_a man_n such_o as_o have_v by_o solemn_a vow_n abjure_v not_o only_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o world_n but_o also_o all_o commerce_n with_o it_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o management_n of_o the_o affair_n thereof_o shall_v be_v guilty_a of_o so_o great_a miscarriage_n argue_v such_o a_o grievance_n and_o

hatred_n of_o reformation_n and_o yet_o thus_o do_v the_o case_n stand_v with_o the_o society_n who_o course_n give_v eccasion_n of_o the_o present_a discovery_n a_o discovery_n of_o the_o society_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o politic_n etc._n etc._n upon_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o society_n and_o religious_a order_n of_o the_o jesuit_n it_o be_v general_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o

to_o destroy_v this_o glorious_a tree_n and_o with_o it_o all_o the_o fruitful_a advantage_n the_o world_n expect_v to_o reap_v thereby_o take_v occasion_n even_o from_o the_o greatness_n itself_o of_o this_o religious_a order_n and_o from_o that_o admirable_a improvement_n which_o it_o have_v make_v in_o so_o small_a a_o space_n of_o time_n to_o pervert_v the_o first_o institution_n thereof_o with_o artifices_fw-la sycophancy_n and_o insinuation_n instead_o of_o these_o two_o branch_n of_o charity_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n now_o utter_o dry_v up_o he_o have_v engraft_v two_o other_o one_o of_o self_n love_n the_o other_o a_o spirit_n mind_v only_o the_o advantage_n of_o this_o world_n which_o how_o great_a a_o prejudice_n it_o have_v prove_v to_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n if_o that_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o present_a discovery_n to_o demonstrate_v wherein_o i_o speak_v it_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o all-seeing_a i_o shall_v not_o advance_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o passion_n or_o interest_n but_o that_o whatever_o be_v do_v proceed_v from_o a_o innocent_a zeal_n to_o the_o public_a good_a and_o a_o tenderness_n to_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o society_n itself_o as_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o prince_n be_v acquaint_v with_o their_o artifices_fw-la may_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o people_n they_o govern_v by_o timely_a remedy_n prevent_v and_o clude_v they_o it_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o society_n of_o the_o jesuit_n spread_v and_o enlarge_n itself_o more_o and_o more_o by_o their_o undertake_n the_o education_n of_o child_n a_o design_n no_o doubt_n acceptable_a to_o all_o city_n and_o kingdom_n they_o according_o upon_o their_o first_o institution_n so_o far_o ingratiate_v themselves_o with_o prince_n that_o in_o a_o few_o year_n they_o diffose_v themselves_o so_o far_o as_o other_o order_n have_v do_v in_o many_o century_n this_o unexpected_a arrival_n to_o greatness_n which_o ever_o work_v a_o strange_a alteration_n in_o man_n mind_n and_o humour_n raise_v in_o the_o successor_n of_o ignatius_n such_o a_o high_a opinion_n of_o and_o love_n to_o their_o own_o society_n that_o vainglorious_o hence_o conclude_v themselves_o more_o beneficial_a to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o such_o as_o have_v make_v a_o far_o great_a progress_n into_o the_o business_n of_o reformation_n than_o all_o other_o order_n they_o think_v it_o their_o main_a concernment_n to_o endeavour_v its_o further_a growth_n and_o enlargement_n that_o be_v to_o give_v it_o you_o in_o their_o own_o word_n to_o promote_v the_o cause_n of_o christ_n the_o advantage_n of_o his_o church_n and_o to_o improve_v the_o patrimony_n of_o jesus_n and_o here_o can_v i_o not_o but_o wish_v myself_o the_o subtlety_n of_o aristotle_n and_o the_o eloquence_n of_o the_o roman_a orator_n to_o discover_v and_o express_v the_o miraculous_a way_n whereby_o they_o effect_v their_o design_n a_o thing_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o novelty_n seem_v incredible_a and_o daily_o enlarge_v the_o jurisdiction_n of_o their_o society_n but_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o sufficient_a to_o glance_v only_o at_o some_o few_o thing_n leave_v it_o to_o other_o man_n judgement_n to_o make_v what_o gloss_n they_o shall_v think_v fit_a thereupon_o and_o to_o conceive_v a_o idea_n of_o those_o man_n suitable_a thereto_o the_o ensue_a head_n therefore_o i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v for_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o discourse_n the_o father_n of_o the_o society_n find_v that_o their_o teach_n preach_v administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o other_o religious_a and_o monastical_a exercise_n contribute_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v expect_v to_o the_o raise_n of_o they_o to_o the_o greatness_n they_o aspire_v to_o be_v force_v to_o think_v of_o other_o way_n to_o effect_v their_o design_n for_o though_o as_o be_v say_v they_o be_v entertain_v at_o the_o begin_n with_o all_o kindness_n by_o many_o people_n yet_o in_o process_n of_o time_n they_o perceive_v that_o through_o dissatisfaction_n or_o some_o other_o occasion_n those_o that_o have_v honour_v they_o

to_o enlarge_v the_o greatness_n of_o their_o order_n one_o be_v by_o calumny_n and_o crafty_a insinuation_n to_o raise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o prince_n and_o consequent_o as_o many_o other_o as_o
