their true and genuine Sense with an infinite of words unworthy to be written and read of Christians and Divines Nevertheless did the Jesuites testifie upon this encounter some kind of Prudence For we must not refuse to give them their just merits when they deserve them since the occasions are so very rare They did not persist in the justification of Father Garasse but relegated him a good distance from Paris to one of their Houses where they heard no more talk of him and by this means made an end of the business Happy had it been that in allaying this difference they had from their hearts also smother'd the resentment which they conceived against M. the Abbot of S. Cyran who has since that engag'd them into such horrible excesses But they would not doe it and have since sufficiently testified that they were not of the number of those wise men who love their Reprovers and that by warning them of their Faults give them occasion to reform them They nourish'd in their breasts a violent aversion against him who had done them this service and which was yet exceedingly augmented by another obligation of the same nature which he rendred them some few years after and which affords us the second remarkable accident of this Warr. Pope Urban VIIIth touched with the miserable condition of the English Church which had been for thirty years without * According to their false reckoning Bishop having sent thither the deceased Mr. Smith Bishop of Chalcedon with the Jurisdiction of an Ordinary he being there establish'd would make use of his power in obliging the Regulars to have his approbation to inable them to hear Confessions This was an heavy Yoke to the Jesuites who were wont to live in that Country in an absolute independence Therefore they made complaint to the Bishop by their Provincial and amongst other reasons they represented to him that this Regulation did diminish their reputation ☞ and the Presents which the Catholicks were us'd to make them But when he would not suffer himself to be wrought on by such perverse Arguments they stirr'd up so many troubles and factions against him by decrying him to the Ministers of State of the King of England that the Bishop was constrain'd to quit the Kingdome to seek his own security These clandestine practices were accompany'd with the publication of two Books which the Jesuites wrote in English against Episcopal Jurisdiction and the necessity of the Sacrament of Confirmation and the Clergy of England having sent these Books to the Sorbon there were thirty two Propositions censur'd by them the 15 of February 1631. This Censure had been preceded some daies before by that which M. the Archbishop of Paris publish'd against the same Books the 30 of January in the same year and by that of all the Archbishops and Bishops which were then in Paris who condemn'd them by a Pastoral Letter addressed to all the Bishops of France the 15 of February 1631. These strokes were very sensible to the Nicety and Pride of the Jesuites and accordingly did they rise up against these Censures after a terrible manner They writ against M. the Archbishop of Paris against the Bishops against the Sorbon and thought for a time that they had quite laid them on their backs But this boldness of theirs was not at all to their advantage in the sequel For this produc'd against them that famous Book of Petrus Aurelius which defended the Bishops and the Sorbon and refuted the Errours of the Jesuites with so much force eloquence and perspicuity that the Church was fully reveng'd and the Jesuites confounded Notwithstanding this Confusion in stead of humbling did but the more exasperate them They undertook Aurelius's Book by all the waies they could possibly devise by secret Calumnies by publick Sermons by huge Volumes by small Treatises and Pamphlets by Works in Latin and French giving it commonly no other Title then that infamous Book of Petrus Aurelius And as the publick voice had attributed this work to M. de S. Cyran what-ever pains he took to take off from himself so glorious a suspicion they fix'd it upon his person and strove to asperse him by a thousand kinds of Calumnies and from that time forward form'd a constant resolution to decry as Hereticks both him and all those who favour'd his Opinion These were the several Contests of this Hierarchical Warr but the event and conclusion of it is remarkable because it is the picture of the success of all their other Disputes It pleased God to permit that the noise which was spread against M. de S. Cyran should so prevail upon the spirit of a Minister of State that he was made prisoner at the Chasteau de Vincennes where he was kept five years without other procedure then that of a certain irregular Information which they were forc'd to give over But at the same time he so order'd it that the Truth triumph'd at a greater height even by the oppression of that person who had so gloriously defended it The Book of F. Celot the most considerable of those who undertook to oppose Aurelius was condemn'd in the Assembly of Mante and this Father was compell'd to disavow his Errours in the Sorbon That of Aurelius was approv'd by three consecutive Assemblies printed twice at the charges of the Clergy and they order'd a most magnificent Elogy to be made him by an injunction of the last of these Assemblies See here the issue of this Hierarchical Dispute which I have recounted without interruption though during the time it continu'd there sprung up another which was follow'd with greater consequents Namely that concerning Penitence which took birth from the Book of Frequent Communion compos'd by M. Arnauld Doctor of the Sorbon for the justification of M. the Abbot of S. Cyran his friend in which he oppos'd several Points of the Morale of the Jesuites and particularly their facility to give Absolution for all sorts of sins For he maintain'd against them in this Book That it was expedient to deferr it upon divers occasions and men were oblig'd to doe it in case of Relapses habitual Sins and on the proximate occasions of Sin There was nothing did more sensibly touch the Jesuites then their being thus attacqu'd upon this so nice a Point because it is chiefly by this facility of Absolution that they draw so many people after them Whereupon they conceiv'd it their principal concernment to overwhelm both the Author and the Book of Frequent Communion together with all those who were either ally'd to his sense or had any friendship with him Upon this there follow'd on a sudden an horrible and universal insurrection of all the Jesuits who broke loose through all the parts of France yea and through all Europe against this Book There was every-where nothing but furious Declamations bloudy and outrageous Injuries treating those who approv'd the sense of this Book with no other name then that of Fourbs and Traitors
