imagine and represent blood Neither did you most Reuerend Bishop of this Dioces Ignatius abhorre from this way of blood For hauing consecrated your first age to the wars and growne somewhat vnable to follow that course by reason of a wound you did presently begin to thinke seriously of a spirituall warre against the Church and found meanes to open waies euer into Kings chambers for your executioners Which dignitie you did not reserue onely to your own Order but though I must confesse that the foundation and the nourishment of this Doctrine remaines with you and is peculiar to you out of your infinite liberalitie you haue vouchsafed sometime to vse the hands of other men in these imploiments And therefore as well they who haue so often in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it in England as they which haue brought their great purposes to effect in Fraunce are indebted only to you for their courage and resolution But yet although the entrance into this place may be decreed to none but to Innouators and to onely such of them as haue dealt in Christian businesse and of thē also to those only which haue had the fortune to doe much harme I cannot see but that next to the Iesuites I must bee inuited to enter since I did not onely teach those wayes by which thorough perfidiousnesse and dissembling of Religion a 〈◊〉 might possesse and vsurp● vpon the liberty of free Commonwealths but also 〈◊〉 arme and furnish the people with my when they were ●nder 〈◊〉 oppression they might 〈◊〉 est conspire and 〈◊〉 tyrant or reuenge them 〈◊〉 of their Prince and redeem their former losses so tha● from both sides both from Prince and People I brough● an aboundant har●est and noble encrease to this kingdome By this time I 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Lucifer to bee muc● moued with this Oration and to incline much towards Machiauel For he did acknowledge him to bee a kind of Patriarke of those whom they call Lay-men And he had long obserued that the Clergie of Rome 〈◊〉 downe to Hell daily easily voluntarily and by troupes because they were accustomed to sinne against their consci●ence and knowledge but that the Layitte sinning out of a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and negligence of 〈◊〉 the truth did rather offend by ignorance and 〈◊〉 And therefore he thought himselfe bound to reward Machiauel which had awakened 〈◊〉 drowsie and implicite Lay● to greater and more bloody ●ndertakings Besides this 〈◊〉 Ignatius could not bee ●enied the place whose ambitions and turbulencies Lucifer vnderstood very wel he thought Machiauel a fit and necessarie instrument to oppose against him that so the skales beeing kept euen by their factions hee might gouerne in peace and two poysons mingled might doe no harme But hee could not hide this intention from Ignatius more subtil then the De●ill and the verier Lucifer of the two Therefore Ignatius rushed out threw himselfe downe at Lucifers feet and groueling on the ground adored him Yet certainly Vasques would not 〈◊〉 this idolatry because in the shape of the 〈◊〉 hee worshipped him whom hee accounted the true God Here Ignatius cried and thundred out With so great noise an horror That had that powder taken fire by which All the 〈◊〉 of Britaine had flowne to the Moone It had not equalled this noise and horror And when he was able to speak distinctly thus hee spoke It cannot be said vnspeakable Emperour how much this obscure Florentine hath transgressed against thee and against the Popo thy image-bearer whether the word bee accepted as Gratian takes it when he calles the Scriptures Imaginarie Bookes or as they take it which giue that style to them who carrie the Emperours image in the field and last of all against our Order Durst any man before him thinke vpon this kinde of iniurie and calumnie as to hope that he should be able to flatter to catch to entrap 〈◊〉 himselfe Certainely whosoeuer flatters any man and presents him those praises which in his owne opinion are not due to him thinkes him inferiour to himselfe and makes account that he hath taken him prisoner and triumphs ouer him Who euer flatters either he derides or at the best instructs For there may bee euen in flattery an honest kind of teaching if Princes by being told that they are already induced with all vertues necessary for their functions 〈◊〉 thereby taught what thos● vertues are and by a facile exhortatiō excited to endeauo to gaine them But was it 〈◊〉 that this fellow should dar● eitherto deride you or which is the greater iniury to teach you Can it be beleeued that he delivers your praises from his heart and doth not rather herein follow Gratians leuity who saies That you are called Prince of the world as a king at Chests or as the Cardinall of Rauenna onely by derision This man whilst he liued attributed so much to his own wit that hee neuer thought himselfe beholden to your helps and insinuations and was so farre from inuoking you or sacrificing to you that he did not so much as acknowledge your kingdome nor beleeue that there was any such thing in nature as you I must confesse that hee had the same opinion of God also and therefore deserues a place here and a better then any of the Pagan or gen●le idolaters for in euery idolatrie and false worship there is some Religion and some peruerse simplicitie which tastes of humilitie from all which this man was very free when in his heart he vtterly denyed that there was any God Yet since he thought so in earnest and beleeued that those things which hee affirmed were true hee must not be rancked with them which hauing beene sufficiently instructed of the true God and beloueing him to be so doe yet fight against him in his enemies armie Neither ought it to be imputed to vs as a fault that sometimes in our exorcismes wee speake ill of you and call you Hereticke and Drunkard and Whisperer and scabbed Beast and Coniure the elements that they should not receiue you and threaten you with Indissoluble Damnation and torments a thousand thousand times worse then you suffer yet For these things you know are done out of a secret couenant and contract betweene vs out of Mysteries which must not bee opened to this Neophite who in our Synagogue is yet but amongst the Cathecumeni Which also we acknowledge of Holy Water and our Agnas Dei of which you doe so wisely dissemble a feare when they are presented to you For certainly if there were any true force in them to deliuer Bodies from Diseases soules from sinnes and the Elements from Spirits and malignant impressions as in the verses which Vrban the fist sent with his Agnus Dei to the Emperour it is pretended It had beene reason that they should first haue exercised their force vpon those verses and so haue purged and deliuered them if not from Heresie yet from Barbarousnesse and solecismes that Heretiques might not iustly say there
