to present vnto you 4. speciall requests as true Testimonies of her motherly affection and piety First that the prudent and wise conduct which her old Children your elder Brothers and Predecessours haue shewn in the setling and gouerning of our mission may be vnto you a guiding Card to steer your actions by The learned writings of her Doctours humbly and soberly deliuered in full conformity to the generall practice of Gods Church the extream labours of her Pastours carefully exercised and valiantly endured vnto conuerting of souls and the bloody sacrifices of her Martyrs piously and clearefully offered in confirmation of the truth hath sown the seed that hath preseru'd continued and encreas'd Catholick Religion in our Country Secondly that our late blessed Bishop Spirituall Father and Superior his constant peaching against prophane nouelties may draw your harts from being carryed away with euery winde of Doctrine As S. Iohn the Euangelist perpetually exhorted his Children vnto reciprocall Charity commanding them to loue one another so our most godly Bishop constantly perswaded his Children vnto an abhorrence of singularity and nouelty telling them that these were the marks of an Heretick The reason that mou'd his Lordship to inculcate this pastorall caution so often was because if Pastours entertaine wicked Doctrines doubtless they will suffer them to take root in their Iurisdictions or districts in consequence of which they shall bring many souls to euerlasting ruine Thirdly that you will take into your serious considerations the Religious Acts of your two last Deans to wit Mr. Fitton and Dr. Daniell both wise experienc'd men and great Louers of Mr. Blacloe who notwithstanding shew'd at last their great dislike of his learning for Mr. Fitton vpon his deaths-Bed deliuered vp his books to the Inquisitor of Florence telling his Executours that they were already or would be condemned and Dr. Daniel soon after he was elected Dean declared a necessity to disclaime from his learning and without doubt would haue done so if he had suruiu'd one halfe yeare longer and indeed he had ioyn'd with me in a Letter to our Brethren long afore that press'd them to an vnanimous disclaim both from Mr. Blacloe and Dr. Holden's learning Lastly our old Mothers request is that you will be myndfull of the Counsell which S. Gregory the great our Patron and Apostle of England often inculcated to his flock that is Si obedientes fuerimus praepositis Deus obediet orationibus nostris For as much as Ioshua was obedient to God God was obedient to his prayer vnto staying the sun in the middes of Heauen vntill the people of Israel auenged themselues vpon their enimyes but S. Gregory means not by the particles si obedientes fuerimus praepositis onely the supreme Superiour that is God alone but all his vice-gerents vpon earth both spirituall and ciuil and our old Mothers request is that you giue to all Superiours their duty for there is no Superiority but of God and whosoeuer resisteth Superiority resisteth the ordinance of God and thereby shall receiue to himselfe damnation wherefore you ought vnder paine of eternall damnation to giue to Caesar what is due to Caesar and to the Bishop of Rome what is due to him these being Gods principall Vice-Gerents on earth and your Chiefest Superiours and Catholick Religion teacheth that obedience of necessity is due to each of them to the one in order to spirituall to the other in order to ciuil Matters He that taketh from Caesar to giue to the Pope and he that taketh from the Pope to giue to Caesar they both are abomination to God whose will is that we giue to all Superiours their duty Thus hauing presented our old Mothers Requests I subscribe my selfe Much honored Brethren Yr. most affectionat Brother in Christ Iesus GEO. LEYBVRN POSTSCRIPT WHEREAS I was inform'd that Dr. Ellis Mr. Curtis c. report that they haue writ sundry letters grieuousely accusing me vnto the Nuncius Residing at Paris and the Internuncius residing at Brussels as likewise to the Court of Rome whence rhey haue receiu'd an Answer in these words Ingratissimum fuisse suae Sanctitati viri factum si Clerus ipsum Regis Ministris tanquam Pacis perturbatorem tradidissent tantum abfuturam Curiam Romanam ab ipsius protectione vt vltrò supplicium ipsius fuisset promotura Where is obseruable first that hauing receiued the forsaid information I writ vnto the Internuncius residing at Brussels to whose Iurisdiction I am subiect humbly beseeching his Lordship to acquainte me in particular with the aspersions my Aduersaries had cast vpon me whereby his Lordship imagining that I had suspected him by his not acquainting me with what had been writ vnto him in order to accusing of me answered me in these words Admodum Reuerende Domine Pro singulari quo D. V. prosequor studio molestè tuli quod ipsa iudicet me sinistrae vllius contra se impressionis capacem esse Igitur à D. V. peto vt similes suspiciones à se prorsus abijciat nec voeibus malignorum vllatenus moveatur vtpote que nequeunt offuscare plenam S.

D. nostro nec quidquam negligitur quod ad rens conducere possit circumstantiae tamen temporum successiuè occurrentes suadent dilationem interponi idque pro meliori negotij exitu Ipsi demùm ad Ecclesiae Anglicane decus diuturnam apprecor sospitatem Bruxellis 5. Malj 1661. Admodum R. D. V. Addictissimus Officiosissimus Hierony Abbas Montis Regalis His letter alone is able to cleare my innocency from the calumnies of my Aduersaries since the Nuntius to whome they had accused me vindicates clearely my integrity Secondly ti 's obseruable that Dr. Ellis Mr. Curtis c. Haue accused me to the Court of Rome of treason against our Soueraign Lord the King For the words of their letter so importe as appeares plainely by the sea Apostolick's Answer in Order to the fact committed to wit the said Answer is that if the Clergy had deliuered me into the hands of his ma.ties Ministers as a disturber of the peace the said Court would not onely not haue protected but concurred to the punishing of me which indeed is an Answer worthy the sea Apostolick being most conform to the Tenets of Catholick Religion which teacheth that as Caesar's due ought not to be kept from him so neither ought his tranquillity and peace be disturbed and both the ancient and modern Church hath inacted seuere lawes agaist all Disturbers of Caesars quietnes And as to the aspersion cast on me if I might know that I were accused to haue acted any one thing vnto disturbing of my Caesar it should be needless to deliuer me up for I would present my selfe voluntarily to his ministers for the clearing of my Innocency from such a deadly wickednes and for taking away so great a scandall from my Religion In like manner Mr. Blacloe in his Fly flap accuseth me of treason against the King of Spaine saying that in the tyme of the warrs I entertained a spye sent from France to the ruine of Belgium though I know him for such This accusation for as much as it dwell's vpon generall words without producing of particular proof's carries the marke of a calumny Howeuer I conceiue what is hint's at to wit my admitting of Dr. Talbot vnto a night's lodging who came out of France in the tyme of warres between the Catholick and and most Christian Kings into Belgium and profess ingeniously though he had the protection of Count Salazar Gouernour of Cambray and the Marquis of Tresegny Gouernour of Tournay in whose House after wards he resided and the ciuility of the 〈…〉 of this Town I should not haue lodg'd him in re●●●●●●●ad vnderstood from his own Countrimen that he was ●●●e the Cardinal Mazarin employed if he had not had so near ●●●elation to that worthy Person Sr. Robert Talbot of whose ●●●ity towards my own King I had euidence enough when I 〈◊〉 sent by our Queen into Ireland But I profess as ingeniousely as afore that I no more knew the said Dr. Talbot to be a spye then Mr. Blacloe know's to Sapere ad sobrietatem and was so far from conspiring to the Preiudice of the King of Spaine who according to his low condition gaue our King entertainment and protection that I reuealed my iealousies in Order to Dr. Talbot to all the Seniors of the House telling them that notwithstanding his protection from two of the chief personages of these countryes I was affraid to lodge him least some suspicion of guilt might arise thereby to the disgrace of our Mother-House and I profess again that before I would lodge him I consulted the Chief Magistrate of our Town named Monsieur Chantrain of a noble Family and acquainted him as I had done afore the said Seniors of our House and himselfe will witness as much But I perceiue by this aspersion cast vpon me how two or three of my Seniors cast themselues into grace With our London Chapter I will not name them Again I do belieue that interest not malice made them tell a story against me which Mr. Blacloe hath Metamorphos'd into an vntruth thinking to ruine myself and our old Mother thereby THE ENDE
