A31633	The cabinet of the Jesuits secrets opened in which there are many things relating to the church and clergy of England : as also the ways by which they encrease the number and wealth of their society on the ruines of kingdoms and families : in part began by Dr. Oats from an Italian copy, but now more largely discovered from a French copy printed at Colon, 1678 / made English by a person of quality.; Monita Secreta Societatis Jesu.

soon_o as_o they_o can_v learn_v the_o least_o particular_a for_o as_o they_o know_v this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o gain_v the_o goodwill_n of_o their_o superior_n and_o bring_v themselves_o to_o

we_o not_o then_o draw_v hence_o this_o conclusion_n that_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o jesuit_n be_v neither_o right_a nor_o sincere_a towards_o any_o they_o serve_v the_o world_n no_o further_o than_o their_o own_o interest_n will_v permit_v they_o neither_o prince_n nor_o prelate_n can_v employ_v they_o as_o counsellor_n without_o great_a damage_n because_o pretend_v themselves_o to_o be_v

their_o irregular_a attention_n to_o their_o private_a interest_n and_o the_o neglect_v they_o have_v of_o the_o advancement_n of_o any_o other_o person_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o all_o

of_o great_a import_n which_o have_v be_v send_v they_o from_o rome_n by_o their_o great_a master_n of_o policy_n those_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v of_o the_o party_n of_o spain_n or_o in_o any_o

companion_n and_o confident_a by_o who_o counsel_n they_o shall_v govern_v themselves_o in_o all_o their_o action_n iv_o the_o four_o thing_n which_o deserve_v to_o be_v consider_v be_v that_o by_o these_o intrigue_n and_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o affair_n of_o state_n the_o principal_a jesuit_n have_v acquire_v the_o favour_n of_o many_o both_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a prince_n make_v they_o believe_v they_o have_v do_v great_a service_n and_o from_o this_o favour_n great_a inconvenience_n spring_v first_o abuse_v the_o goodness_n and_o friendship_n of_o these_o prince_n they_o fear_v not_o to_o abuse_v a_o great_a number_n of_o private_a family_n which_o though_o rich_a and_o noble_a have_v be_v reduce_v to_o a_o extreme_a degree_n of_o misery_n by_o the_o usurpation_n which_o the_o jesuit_n have_v make_v upon_o the_o estate_n of_o widow_n and_o by_o the_o unsincere_a course_n by_o which_o they_o have_v draw_v into_o their_o religion_n a_o number_n of_o those_o young_a gentleman_n which_o frequent_a their_o college_n for_o how_o often_o do_v it_o happen_v that_o these_o young_a man_n become_v sickly_a or_o find_v themselves_o unfit_a for_o the_o function_n of_o the_o society_n be_v send_v away_o without_o restore_v either_o to_o they_o or_o to_o their_o relation_n that_o wealth_n they_o bring_v thither_o and_o to_o which_o the_o jesuit_n make_v themselves_o heir_n at_o their_o enter_v their_o profession_n this_o injustice_n be_v far_o enough_o from_o the_o ordinance_n of_o st._n ignatius_n and_o from_o the_o intention_n of_o those_o lord_n who_o have_v found_v their_o house_n do_v not_o leave_v they_o so_o much_o riches_n as_o may_v fatiate_v their_o thirst_n after_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n but_o rather_o make_v they_o fit_a to_o serve_v the_o christian_a world_n the_o second_o inconvenience_n which_o follow_v this_o access_n the_o jesuit_n have_v to_o prince_n be_v that_o they_o boast_v of_o it_o perpetual_o and_o persuade_v the_o world_n that_o their_o union_n and_o familiarity_n with_o great_a man_n be_v much_o great_a than_o indeed_o it_o be_v and_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o make_v themselves_o revere_v by_o the_o very_a minister_n of_o state_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o insinuate_v themselves_o into_o their_o good_a opinion_n and_o indeed_o every_o one_o have_v recourse_n to_o they_o to_o obtain_v what_o they_o desire_v and_o their_o vanity_n be_v arrive_v to_o that_o height_n that_o they_o have_v dare_v to_o boast_v that_o they_o can_v make_v cardinal_n nuntio_n lieutenant_n governor_n or_o any_o other_o officer_n yea_o some_o of_o they_o have_v proceed_v to_o that_o degree_n of_o impudence_n as_o to_o affirm_v that_o their_o general_n can_v do_v much_o more_o than_o the_o pope_n and_o other_o have_v add_v that_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o be_v of_o this_o order_n which_o can_v make_v cardinal_n than_o to_o be_v a_o cardinal_n i_o fear_v not_o that_o what_o i_o write_v shall_v make_v i_o pass_v for_o a_o slanderer_n for_o these_o father_n speak_v all_o these_o thing_n so_o open_o that_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o person_n who_o converse_v with_o they_o with_o any_o degree_n of_o familiarity_n who_o have_v not_o often_o hear_v the_o same_o thing_n from_o they_o v._o the_o five_o point_n be_v that_o be_v thus_o establish_v in_o state-practice_n one_o of_o the_o first_o thing_n they_o exact_v from_o that_o prince_n who_o favour_v they_o be_v that_o he_o will_v permit_v they_o to_o advance_v or_o pull_v down_o whoever_o they_o please_v serve_v themselves_o always_o here_o of_o the_o pretence_n of_o religion_n that_o they_o may_v with_o the_o more_o facility_n obtain_v their_o end_n and_o if_o by_o misfortune_n this_o be_v grant_v as_o it_o fall_v out_o too_o often_o expect_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v fill_v the_o vacant_a place_n with_o person_n of_o worth_n who_o can_v best_o discharge_v their_o trust_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o any_o such_o happen_v to_o be_v recommend_v to_o that_o prince_n they_o oppose_v they_o with_o all_o their_o might_n if_o they_o be_v not_o their_o intimate_a friend_n and_o such_o as_o they_o know_v be_v high_o affect_v to_o their_o interest_n but_o as_o for_o they_o they_o present_v and_o petition_n for_o be_v they_o affect_v to_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o be_v they_o not_o be_v they_o honest_a man_n or_o knave_n be_v they_o fit_a for_o the_o employment_n or_o be_v they_o not_o this_o be_v the_o least_o part_n of_o their_o care_n so_o that_o it_o i●_n often_o see_v that_o the_o officer_n which_o be_v choose_v by_o these_o man_n be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o vex_v the_o prince_n and_o exasperate_v the_o people_n by_o discontent_n which_o end_n for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o dreadful_a sedition_n vi_o the_o six_o point_n can_v be_v better_a represent_v than_o by_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o master_n of_o a_o galley_n who_o observe_v the_o wind_n for_o his_o turn_n can_v no_o soon_o whistle_v than_o all_o the_o rower_n be_v at_o the_o oar_n to_o bring_v the_o galley_n to_o the_o place_n he_o have_v before_o appoint_v for_o just_a after_o this_o manner_n when_o the_o general_n and_o his_o assistant_n have_v once_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v for_o their_o interest_n that_o any_o person_n shall_v be_v advance_v to_o

he_o that_o have_v receive_v from_o they_o a_o service_n of_o this_o nature_n must_v be_v very_o ungrateful_a if_o he_o deny_v they_o the_o like_a assistance_n when_o occasion_n serve_v so_o it_o
