to haue any more meetings or assemblies together to consult conferre or treate together or performe either spirituall or temporall exercises Willing and charging them presently and speedily to abandon and dismisse the manner of habit supposedly and fally taken vpon them and never to put on the same any more neither to admit any other Women or Maidens to receiue and put on the same As also that they with their consent shall not suffer nor counsell helpe or favour others to doe it directly or indirectly or in any manner whatsoever neither shall they professe themselues or make known themselues to be religious persons followers of that pretended sect and Congregation For the better suppressing of which Assembly Wee doe freely and willingly absolue all those Women and Maidens who haue really and punctually made their Vowes as Wee said before with that intention being in such an estate condemned and reprobated by the Apostolicall Chaire although they haue not performed the promised conditions of their secret Vowes nor could not performe the Obligation of their Vowes fully But all those who in any case haue made Vowes being they are simple Vowes to liue honestly and religiously being seperated from the other and this reprobate State and the pretended sect and Assembly shunning and avoyding whatsoever hath by this Edict beene prohibited these Wee permit to submit themselues to the obedience of the Ordinarie with the vse but nor the full command of their Goods but with such power which Wee mercifully graunt them both in their liues and before their decease to dispose of them to holy and pious vses Neuerthelesse this prouided that the same Goods shall without any will or Testament befall and be deriued vnto those which by right and equity were to succeede in them and to inherite the same if so bee that these women or maidens had not made such a vow of voluntary poverty And in case any of these afore-sayd women or maidens would betake themselues to the estate of Matrimony we graunt them free permission to marrie but with this proviso that they shall keepe that which therein is to bee obserued and we doe afford them our Apostollicall Benediction and as farre as necessity requires the relaxation and quittance of all their vowes as aforesaid made by them But because the Apostle teacheth that hee that marries doth well but hee that remaines vnmarried doth better wee doe therefore as earnestly and with as much power as wee can admonish and exhort those afore-sayd women and maidens by the mercies of God in our fatherly loue and care that they would but recall and truely consider the zeale and affection which they haue had to embrace a holy Religious and Spirituall life and to take vpon them the Lords yoke and that they renounding themselues and all worldly luses cares and concupiscences would betake themselues into some holy and religious order instituted and approued of by this Holy Apostollicall Chaire And there with a faithfull holy and godly desire and intentions make their vowes vnto the God of Iacob and with innocencie of hands and puritie and sinceritie of heart practizing and performing holy spirituall exercises of Religious workes would manifest themselues to bee the purest and pretioust part of Christs Sheepe and Flocke And there kindle their lampes with the flames of Loue and so prepare themselues to meere the sweete heauenly Bridegroome of their soules Thus then wee doe ordaine that these present Letters and all the Contents of the same yea notwithstanding that the women or maidens of such a Sect and Assembly or any other hauing some suspition or seruple of the Premises or pretending to haue should not haue consented vnto the same or haue not beene summoned and heard in the matter And that the reasons of this same

THE SVPPRESSING OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE PRETENDED Shee-Iesuites By the Edict of our most holy Father and Lord VRBANVS Dei Gratia The eight of that name now Pope of Rome Translated out of the Low-dutch Coppie Printed at Bruxells LONDON Printed for Nathaniell Butter and Nicholas Bourne 1631. Vrbanus Bishop Servant of the servants of God to everlasting Memory THe Pastorall care and vigilancy of the Romish Pope vnto whom the Vineyard of the Lord of Sabbath through the vnspeakeable providence of the chiefest and supreamest Father of the Family is committed doth chiefely ayme at this scope that no Labourers shall presumptuously intrude themselues into this Vineyard without being lawfully called and elected who may destroy the good seed roote out the well-growing make weeds to spring vp and mixe evill bastard branches among the good plants Notwithstanding that there hath beene made a very sharpe and strong prohibition by the Christian Ordinances of the Generall Lateran Councell and the Councell of Lyons that no person should dare to ascribe so much power to himselfe or take vpon him to bring in innovations in Religion and that likewise by the godly Institutions of our predecessors of blessed Memory Iohn the 22. and Clemens the fifth Popes of Rome all assemblies of Women instituted by their owne power and authoritie was cleane cut off and rooted out and condemned as most dangerous and pernicious Neverthelesse as wee haue vnderstood not without great griefe and sorrow of heart there are in divers parts of Italy and of the Netherlands certaine Women and Maidens which haue boldly and presumptuously taken vpon them the name of Shee-Iesuites without the consent and approbation of the Holy Apostolicall Chaire These haue of late yeares made Convents and Assemblies vnder pretence and shew of leading a devout and religious life They haue vsed a singular kinde of habit differing from all other built Edifices and Houses in manner of Colledges erected places named by the name of Novitiate or tryall and probation In these builded Colledges they haue established one to be Generall and governo over the whole Assembly giving them Stiles of Shee-Provosts Ascribing and taking vpon them such power and authoritie as seemed good vnto themselues Making Vowes and Protestations of Povertie Chastitie and Obedience and these to stand for sound and solemne Vowes having no ground nor warrant for this their Obedience but onely their owne pleasure and well seeming all vnder this Cloake and pretence of promoting Soules salvation taking vpon them not withstanding their Vow to walke freely about the Streets and to performe such workes and businesses which goe beyond the weakenesse and capacitie and braine of that sexe And which doe in no wise beseeme and befit the modestie and civilitie of Women and especially the Virgin Chastitie Yea such things which godly and learned men well experienced in the holy Scriptures being of great knowledge and honest life are wont to exercise and practise not without a great deale of trouble and much difficultie We therefore desiring and labouring by all meanes in time to extirpate and roote out all weeds and bryars out of the field of the holy Militant Church haue Commanded and Charged our Reverend Brother Aloysius Bishop of Tricariken Ours and the Holy Apostolicall Chaires Nuntius in the Countryes of Lower-Germany as also divers other Ordinaries that they finding and perceiving the great dangers and scandalls which doe thence arise should in the name of our Apostolicall Authoritie earnestly admonish and forewarne and exhort the aforesaid Women and Maidens to withdraw themselues from such intended courses and practises and to betake themselues to better and wiser wayes and devises But whereas these presumptuous Women contemning and despising the feare of God and Vs and abusing the great respect due vnto the Apostolicall Sea to the great prejudice of their owne soules and offending of many good religious people haue not onely not obeyed our Fatherly and Godly admonitions but haue not beene ashamed to continue and goe on in these their idle practises and to broach and produce many things contrary to the Godly Truth and Doctrine of the Church We haue now earnestly resolved to prevent such a farther contempt and presumption with a sharpe and bitter sentence and penaltie And to roote out and extirpate all such plants and sprouts vtterly being so infectious pernicious and hurtfull to the Holy Church for feare least they spread themselues farther if they be not suppressed Therefore having held wise and provident Counsell with our Honourable Brothers the Cardinalls of Rome and the Generall Inquisitors specially deputed against all evill Heresies of the said Sea with vnanimous Counsell and Consent according to the Decrees of the foresaid Councells adhering to the Institutions of our Predecessors Wee haue tituled the said Convents and Congregations of the sayd Women or Maidens Shee-Iesuites And doomed their sect and State from the first beginning of their Institution by our Apostolicall Authoritie And doe by the tenour of this present Edict of Ours declare the same to be voyde and of none effect or power and that the same is of no worth neither ever was And because they haue proceeded with the very action and execution of this their profession Wee doe by our Apostolicall Authoritie vtterly suppresse and annihilate the same and make them subject to eternall abolition and take away and cut off the same from the most holy Church of God Willing and ordaining that the same Order of Women and Maidens shall of all Christian beleeving people be held for suppressed and abolished extinguished vtterly taken away and extirpated Neither will Wee that the same Women or Maidens shall any wayes be tyed or obliged to performe the solemne Vow which they so strongly haue made to this purpose Furthermore Wee will ordaine and declare that all Shee-Visiters shee-registrices and shee-Provosts as all other Shee-Governants and Officialls of the said Congregation and sect by what name or title they may be named or called shall by power of this our Edict be deprived of the Office service or place which they haue taken vpon them to performe or execute Wee doe likewise absolue all and every Woman or Maiden which vnder pretence of a solemne Vow hath vpon whatsoever occasion in this kinde bound or obliged her selfe to any obedience tending to this Order and vtterly free them from such Vow and Obligation Yea even those that haue in this nature tyed themselues by approbation of an Oath Furthermore Wee doe ordaine and command all Women or Maidens and their afore-mentioned Governours named or dignified with the foresaid or other manner of titles by vertue of the holy obedience due vnto Vs and vpon penaltie of our Bull and farther Excommunication which they will presently incurre and from the which they cannot be absolved by any but our selfe and whosoever shall be Pope of this holy Citie of Rome to depart and seperate themselues from all those Colledges or Houses where they are assembled prohibiting them
