Franciscus Suares of Granada of the society of Iesu Doctor of Diuinity his defence of the Catholike and Apostolike faith against the errours of the English sect This booke being examined in the Parliament of Paris and found to containe in many places diuers propositions and doctrines contrary to lawfull Kings appointed by God and to their regall power and authority and against the peace and tranquillity of their kingdomes it was vpon mature deliberation decreed and sentenced that those doctrines and positions so scandalous seditious and inuented and published to the subuersion of kingdomes and countries and to arme their subiects against their Soueraigne Kings and Princes yea and also detected to be manifestly ful of lies and blasphemies euen in those places where the examples of Clodo●eus and Philip Pulcher are alleaged are therefore worthie to be burnt by the common hangman in the outward Court of the Castle This done it was by proclamation forbidden that no Printer should print that Booke or being printed should bring it into the kingdom reade it write out or keep it much lesse that any should reade it in schooles or giue vp the propositions contained in it to be disputed And a Decree further was made that the Decree of Theologicall faculty made by vertue of a Parliament order published in the yeere 1610. of renuing the censure of doctrines made anno 1408. in the Councell of Constance and also in the yeers 1578. and 1595. together with this late decree of Parliament should publikely reade euery yeere the fourth of Iune in the Colledges of the Theologicall faculty and also of the Priests and students of Claremount Colledge and of the begging Orders and that at the sute of the Kings Atturney General a diligent processe should be made against thē who had written any thing against this Prohibition Furthermore it was decreed that the Fathers of the society of Iesus Ignatius Armundus Rector of Paris Cotton Frontone and Sirmund should forthwith appeare in Parliament and there that they should receiue rebuke and taxation in that against their owne promise and decree made by their Generall anno 1610. the foresaid booke was printed and was brought into the City of Paris to annihilate the authority of the King to the dishonouring of his person and to the disturbance of the peace of the whole kingdome adding this charge to them besides that they should conferre with their Generall about the renuing of this Decree and publishing the same with all speed and within the space of six moneths next ensuing should publish and declare openly that thy haue obeyed and satisfied this commandement of the Parliament and haue by their letters prouided that no such bookes hereafter shall bee written by any of this society and published abrode Besides the Iesuites were enioyned that in their sermons they should disswade and deter the people from the liking of such kind of propositions and hereafter should teach and preach the contrary if they did otherwise they should bee pronounced and declared by the Parliament guilty of high Treason All these things were done and published the 27. of Iune in the Pallace of the Parliament in the presence of Ignasius Armundus Carolus Tourus who appeared for Cotton Frontonius Duke and Iames Sirmundus fathers who were specially required to be present at this businesse In the former booke we spake of Sigefride Collonitius how by an arrest made on him he was staied at Neostade who not long after was by night carried to Vienna and laid in the prison wherein wee mentioned that Guntherode had been kept before time Comming to Vienna by chance he spied a certaine Embassadour of Dresda whom he entreated to procure him the fauour of the Elector of Saxony who afterward did entreat in his behalfe to the Emperour in this manner That Rodulph the late Emperour did many times vse his seruice to excellent purposes against the Turkes who therefore held him in great account as indeed hee was for his vertue a wonder to all men and a terrour to his enemies Therefore that he besought the Emperour that in regard of his vertue and worth and the fame of his name hee would deale gratiously with him and restore him to his liberty especially since now he hath made his innocency manifest to the world By which act he shall not only bind the loue of Collonitius and all worthy souldiers to himselfe but shall take away from others all occasion of sinister conceit that this which he suffers is for his religion and conscience In like manner the Count of Thuron entreated the Emperour in his behalfe alleaging that it was not only permitted but also commanded by God that one should sue for another and therefore that hee trusting to the Emperours singular grace and clemency could not forbeare but at the earnest request of Collonitius to interpose his prayer and intreatie in his behalfe For he had been in former times his fellow-souldier in the warre against the Turkes wherein he carried himselfe faithfully and resolutely and by his famous exploits in that seruice and valiant deeds hath purchased a name that in those parts will neuer bee forgotten Now if vpon any weakenesse or ouersight hee hath committed any fault he doth beseech his Maiestie that in regard of the faithfull seruices which he hath done to the house of Austria he would please to pardon it as proceeding not of mallice and that out of his grace and goodnesse hee would discharge him of the arrest and suffer him to answer freely for himselfe To this time the Turkes with their incursions and depopulations into the countries adioyning did the Christians much mischiefe And hauing driuen a great multitude of cattell were at last encountred in the way by the Heyduccians in number about 800. who in a skirmish put the Turkes to flight halfe a mile from Agria and recouered the bootie out of their hands The Bashaw of Agria vnderstanding this defeate drawing foorth 1000. of his garrison souldiers renued the fight but was so receiued by the said Heyduccians that he was beaten hauing lost 200. souldiers and his horse slaine vnder him that he had much a doe to escape The Heyduccians encouraged with this successe marched further and on the sudden assaulting a castle vpon Solnocke tooke it and carried away great store of goods and cattell Others skowring the countrie towards Buda by chance light vpon a Lady going to be married from Strigonium to Buda whom they chased brought away a great deale of wealth which they tooke from the company Not long after hauing battered the castles of Balastera Micoluta and Fellaco they ouerthrew 500. Turkes and more and sacked and spoiled all those places about and when the Turkes asked why they so vniustly brake the Peace they answered that they gaue the occasion by the depopulations and excursions which they ●…de but they for their parts were good fellowes that nei●●er cared for the Roman nor the Turkish Emperour Some few yeeres passed there arose
