then brewing for the destruction of his Prince and Country CHAP. VII What he Relates since his return to London concerning Iesuits from the 33 to the 53 Article THe Narrative declares That in Iuly Ashby came to Town to dispose of the 10000 l. procured by La Chaise and that he should Treat with Sir Geo. Wakeman to Poyson the King as also to procure the Assassination of the Bishop of Hereford To this the Vindicator replies That Ashby before his Death declared all this to be false as the Iesuits of St. Omers themselves attest And all this he clinches too with a How is it probable that had there been any such thing Ashby should communicate it to one who had by him been so disgracefully dismist by the Provincials Order c. This is another Dismission which we never heard of before so that he may sheath his How is it probable again as being a very blunt piece of business The 34 Article the Vindicator sayes Is all false and that there is not one word of Truth in it upon the credit of Attestation G. To the 35 he says Ashby and Blundel both protested it was false To the 36 he sayes the same upon Ashbys single Protestation Thus you see what an Esteem one Traytor has for another and how warily they credit each other Like the Story of the Caldron and the Cabbage As if the Vindicator and the rest of his Bloody Gang had made a Compact together to this purpose Do you make a Vindication Deny Lye Defie Decry and what ever you assert we 'l all Swear to Now Gentlemen that you are to Believe what they attest I prove thus The Legend of St. Germain says That that Saint rais'd up a dead Ass to life again The Legend of that Saint is to be believ'd Ergo You must believe the Vindicator and his Attestators In the 38 Article the Doctor deposes That White wrote to London to Fenwick that he had ordered twelve Iesuits to go for Holland to inform the Dutch that the Prince of Orange intended to make himself King but they got no farther then Watten by reason of some mischance which Letter the Deponent saw This the Vindicator sayes with more then ordinary Choller is a Lye malitious and ridiculous malitious in charging such an odious business upon the Jesuits Not so malitious neither History has charg'd the Jesuites with far greater Crimes committed in Holland then this No less then the Murther of William of Orange and the same as fairly intended Maurice Nassau both perpetrated by persons instigated encourag'd embolden'd hired paid and Missionated by the Provincial and Rector of Doway and other Jesuites as Thuanus whom the Vindicator if he dares may deny for a good Testimony more at large relates A Ridiculous in supposing that the English Jesuites have either credit or acquaintance with the States of Holland The Fool will turn Changling before the end of his Vindication As if we thought the Jesuites had no more wit than to appear in Holland in all their formalities No no they have their shapes and their disguises and if they want credit or acquaintance they want neither Money nor Insinuation to procure both unless they be all such Dunces as the Vindicator He I confess is no great man of Language he 'l tell ye ye Lie and 't is False And fearing that neither his Malitious nor his Ridiculous would serve his turn in his own natural Delivery he affirms The Iesuites never had any such design and that no Iesuit or Iesuits were sent about it All which we find him endeavouring to prove thus for it is sometimes requisite to let you see the quint Essence of his Arguments Six Jesuites could not be spared out of the Seminary of St. Omers upon such a Design Ergo. Not Twelve out of the whole Province Again They that stopt at Watten could not be sent to Holland for had they been sent they had gone Ergo. They were not sent because they did not go To the 39 Article he answers That Blundel protested he never heard of any such Letter and so refers ye to Attestation E. In the 41 Article the Doctor deposes That Fenwick told him that the Jesuits had 60000 l. per Annum and 100000 l. in Bank and that he lent out money at 50 per Cent. This he denies and wonders how it should be true But it is a Proverh fix'd upon the Jesuits Quod Vultur est Milvo id Iesuita est Monacho So that it is no wonder that the most Covetous Proling Scraping Racking Cozening Cheating purloyning Order in the World should have 60000 l. per Annum and a hundred Thousand pound in Banck The Vindicator little understood what belongs to sums beyond his own Seminary Exhibition and Fenwick was a ●illy Jesuit-Broaker There be those who have better calculated the Jesuits Incomes that could have informed the Vindicator that their Revenues above 20 years ago amounted to two Millions of Crowns in Gold yearly which is above 500000 l per Annum a sum far greater then what the Vindicator admires at And there is no question to be made but that they who were contriving the ruin of Princes and whole Nations had some of their bulky Banck disposed of near the Scene of their Expences requisite for such a design And for the Jesuits Consciences we leave them to their Brethren the Jews to take measure of them by their own The 42 Article deposes that Harcourt Fennick Keynes and another of the Society declar'd their intentions to raise a commotion in the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales which appear'd also by several Letters shewed the Deponent This the Vindicator calls a Lye without any signe of Truth and would have any one of these Letters produced What would it have signified For the Vindicator would have brought somebody to protest there were no such Letters written Produce their Letters and either they make their Equivocating Comments upon them or else deny their own hands which has not sav'd their Necks for all that That 's such a Flim Flam Story for a Sancha Pancha of a Vindicator to bid us produce Letters when he himself has undertaken to venture his Soul and all the pains of Hell and Purgatory to confound what ever can be produc'd which bare denials and attestations out of the Clouds and that with such a daring and audacious Impudence as if Truth were only confin'd to that foul skulking hole of Iniquity and Treason at St. Omers And then with a plausible Insinuation They that all our modern Histories have Character'd for the grand Incendaries of the World They that are Chronicl'd for their Murders and Massacres and their inflaming all the Kingdoms of Europe and disturbing the repose of Church and State over all Christendom They shall come to a pitiful idle nonsensical Vindicator and bid him cry to the Deponent for deposing the Truth and detecting their hateful Conspiracies What a Commotion you have rais'd in England all the
