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.

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
