my comfort is that there is a great difference and distance betwixt the sale and deliuery of vs. I say if this come to passe to auoyde their enteprises it were better wee surprised them for otherwise it will befall vs as it did the Marriners of the Lake of Laumont in the Prouince of Escouie in Scotland which as long as the said Lake was tempestuous they passe without danger but being calme they alwayes endure shipwracke And alas who hath better and fitter meanes to annoy vs then the Iesuites who confesse the King importunately solicite the Queene liue as companions with Monsieur the Chancellor and Monsieur Villeroy of whom through their dexterity they may obtaine many things which may tend to our ruine as aduice and agents to those which employ them thereunto I am not ignorant that their speeches and bookes are more sweeter then the Syrens songs and that many good spirits pricked forwards with the spurre of Religion throw themselues headlong into the Sea of their acquaintance morefully to participate of their harmony But I know likewise that as the winde sprong vp which conducted Butes out of danger and saued him in Lybia so the winde which at present bloweth against them in France hath drawen many excellent spirits forth the Sea of their captiuity and hath fortunately brought them to the port of happines For considering more narrowly why they are so applauded and with a circumspectious eye beholding the forme of their comportments yea and not onely in their faces but in their liues and doctrines yea in their very hearts and actions they affirme they haue found nothing but death for life euill for good the losse of the Church for her preseruing and the losse of the estate for his conferuation As for me if such they are I am of opinion that there was neuer spell nor charme more stronger and powerfull then that wherewith they practise For when I do see a Sillery and Villeroy both spirites shining with brightnesse and on all sides enuitoned with piercing sights which as two Argus haue rather their heads in their eyes then their eyes in their heads to be so inchanted and lulled asleepe with the dissembling songs of those treacherous Mercuries which perceiue not that in shutting their eyes to their practises they both close vp and finish the dayes of their own honor and eclipse the splendor of the dignity of France their deere mother and sweete Countrey which hath so honourably imparted them the choyce of her chiefest dignities and yet of whom they will rauish her chiefest Iö to wit her independency and soueraignty whereof this great Iupiter in Bellarmines booke doth demonstrate himselfe desperatly enamoured I am besides my selfe and beleeue all and more too which antiquity hath reported of Circes the Magician This Capitolian Iupiter durst neuer haue assaulted our French Hercules in the face but when he perceiued his backe turned then hesent this couragious canker Sophister Bellarmine sweating with the blood of Princes to wound him in the heele But couragious couragious the wound is not yet mortall for Iolaus the inflexible Parliament of Paris will cure him yea and so manage and operate that this Ixion which thought himselfe cock-sure to haue embraced our French Iuno shall in stead thereof onely embrace a cloud from whence shal issue Centaures that shall go through all countries blessing those which will receiue them yet neuerthelesse shall not be entertained in France which was neuer ordained to be Augeas stable And as Theron King of Spaine knocking at the gate of Hercules Temple was with his whole Fleete miraculously consumed by a clap of lightning from heauen right so this booke beating at the Soueraignty of France shall iudicially be consumed to cynders together with all his Sophisticall reasons This being incident and fatall to France that as neuer vitious person entred into the Temple of Vulcan on mount Aetna but was by the guardians thereof destroyed and rent in pieces so there was neuer any ill affected to the Flower-deluces which heretofore hath published their impostures but by the vigilancie of the Parliaments haue beene both defaced and burnt And although the late troubles haue opened the doores of France and so let in some indiscreet and pernitious bookes as sometimes forrainers came and cast ancre in Diomedes Ilands wherein the habitation was onely permitted to the Grecians because there were certaine birds which Diomedes brought thither which would not endure that any others should peaceably reside there except those which were of Diomedes country so as if they found any forrainers or strangers there those carefull birds would violently fall on them picking and tearing their faces yea and biting their armes and breasts and neuer forsake them vntill they had slaine them In the same manner in this Kingdome are carefull and watchfull Parliaments and Magistrates which our Kings haue established that will neuer permit that the enemies of the state should violate their priuiledges or infringe their authority And although for a time either through importunity or protection of great personages they winke as if they saw nothing so permit them to inhabite amongst vs Neuerthelesse they will neuer tolerate themlong to dwell peaceably amongst vs but vvill closely and violently pursue them vntill they haue both extenuated and exterminated them yea and neuer wearie themselues to bite and sting them continually but proue as faithfull as the dogges being Porters of Mineruaes Iliadnes Temple in Dulia which by a naturall instinct alwayes bit those which came to prophane the Temple yea although they were brought in by her Priest which vnder colour of religion was deceiued by those detestable prophaners It is reported that the Lisards crooked teeth hauing once taken hold cannot be remoued without breaking them Let vs therefore breake the crooked teeth of this Lisard Bellarmine to the end he leaue vs in our auncient liberty and freedome It agreeth well with Rome to haue a Pantheon wherein to adore the generality of Gods but France can serue onely one Master And to speake truely the causes which concerne the Temporalitie of France ought not to be censured much lesse decided in the Consistorie of Rome For were that tolerated it were the direct way to put in practise the cousenage of subtle Ithacus who before the Grecian army would pleade the processe of generous and ingenious Palamedes to the end the sub●●ller to depose stone this innocent Prince and notwithstanding all this while to cloake treason with a dissembling shew of iustice and equity resembling the Popes which oueruaile their vsurpation with the scarfe of Religion But if Iupiter inflamed with choler commanded the Riuer Acheron to remoue and descend into hell because the water therof refresht the Tytans his mortall enemies which rebelled against him So what Iudge is there in France which will not be cheerefull yea willing to controlle yea consound such Stationers Libraries running Book sellers which cause seditious and pernitious pamphlets to alight
