A18437	An answere to a seditious pamphlet lately cast abroade by a Iesuite with a discouerie of that blasphemous sect. By William Charke.	Charke, William, d. 1617.; Francke, Christian, b. 1549. Colloquium Jesuiticum. English.	1580 (1580)	STC 5005; ESTC S119230	29,644	72

marke of the beast deliuered by Antichrist For y t was not the way to make a friend of vnrighteous Mammon but so to forsake y e blessings of this life that thereby he forsooke also y e blessings of the life to come except the serpent obteine mercie cast his skin Neuerthelesse this vngodly losse is alledged as a great gaine to his euill cause 2 The second third article are one in effect for the secoÌ„d in substaÌ„ce doth only out of order make mentioÌ„ of the place where he is to exercise his charge before the charge be expressed To folow him his order in this article he mentioneth his returne into England as for great good but passeth by his departure thence with silence as carying a plaine note of much euil He taketh his voyage from Prage to Rome and thence into England being commanded by a warrant from heauen and an oracle of Christ Great wordes emporting a great ambassage But least any should take it that hee receiued his warrant in a dreame or hearde a voyce in deede out of heauen he expoundeth him self yet with wordes doubtfull as oracles among the Gentiles were wont to speake For whether hee vnderstande the generall Prouost of the Iesuites onely or whether hee vnderstande the Pope him selfe it is somewhat doubtfull If he meant not the generall Prouost of the Iesuites which I rather thinke then hee auoyded the name of Pope as iustly odious euery where for his abominable superstitions pride and tyrannie ouer mens liues and consciences but in England most of all for that he hath againe and againe throwen out his thunderbolts of curse both against the Prince and agaynst the people Wherin by the way let vs looke to the effect of those curses Did not y e Lord turne them into blessings Did it not appeare euen to the Papists howe vnderserued the curses were and howe litle the blasphemously supposed omnipotencie of the Pope can doe Was not Salomons Prouerbe iustified in those Bulles As a byrde wandreth and a swallowe flyeth away so doeth a curse that is vnderserued But to returne to y e doubtful speach whether he meant the Pope or the Iesuites master what blasphemie is it to attribute y e authoritie of a warrant from heauen and the voyce of Christ to a man whose breath is in his nostrelles and whose sinnes reach vp to heauen calling for vengeance Doe we now perswade and preach men or rather as the Apostle saith Ought not euen the Apostles themselues to preach Christ Iesus y e Lorde and them selues seruantes Saint Paul woulde not preach otherwise then the Gospel no not at the voyce of an Angell from heauen and these come to preach Antichristianitie at the voyce of the man of sinne Therefore how are all men especially they whom the Lorde hath exalted to his place of iustice howe are they to take diligent heede of these men and of the matter they bring much more dangerous theÌ„ the former buls If the Popes worde be to them a warrant from heauen and an oracle of Christ then at his word they must inuade kingdomes throwe downe estates change gouernementes roote out the Gospell and plant ignorance with all other their beggerly and wicked superstitions that accoÌ„panie the Popish doctrine It foloweth that the Pope is alwayes resiant at Rome but y e Iesuite must remember that hee may remooue his chaire to Sibyllas denne or any other place by the doctrine of the Iesuites As for his readie mynde to haue gone ioyously into anie the power of God 8 That the righteous maÌ„ liueth by saith he hath it not in Christ but by his owne workes Cens Col. 118. A contrary place in Paul Rom. 11. 6. If righteousnesse bee of workes it is no more grace 9 Men doe surely hope that euerlasting life shalbe giuen them but they do not beleeue it now hope often faileth otherwise it were no hope Cens Col. 108. A contrary place Heb. 6. 19. Hope is y e sure anchor of y e soule RoÌ„ 5. 5. Hope maketh not ashamed 10 The Scripture in deede neuer teacheth the inuocation of Saints yet we must beleeue receiue hold it Fol. 230. Contrary to this is the place Esai 63. 16. Thou art our Father and Abraham knewe vs not and Israel was ignorant of vs. 11 Christ neuer said to the lay men Do this in the remeÌ„brance of mee Fol. 302. S. Paul doth plainely confute this 1. Cor. 11. 12 TraditioÌ„s are of equal authoritie with the worde of God we must beleeue them thogh they be manifestly against the scripture Fo. 230. CoÌ„trary to this saith Christ In vaine do meÌ„ worship me teaching doctrines that are but the traditions of men Mat. 15. 9. 13 We must worship the image of Christ with like honour that wee doe the holy bookes of the Gospel Fol. 66. Against this saith S. Paul 2. Cor. 6. 15. What agreement is there betweene the Church of God and Idoles These and many other blasphemies doe the Iesuites maintaine There is not a spider nor a spiders web in any corner of the Popes brest but these Doctors will hold it no lesse holy then that which commeth out of Christes brest But doe not euen the Papists that know these things easely see how the Iesuites in these doctrines bewray the spirit of Antichrist that went out into all the world to deceiue and destroy Surely none can see except the holye Ghost open their heart none can depart out of Sodom except the Lorde doe drawe them Although I haue bene long in this matter yet for a further discouery and for plaine warrant that the sect of Iesuites is most wretched at the ende of my answere I haue added a traÌ„slation of a booke wherein y e sect is notably discouered by a testimonie out of their own heart Nowe to returne to Campions wordes He hath bene a Iesuite these viii yeeres A long time to see so many enormities in al y e space not to returne from them to the Go-spel with a short pardon which cannot be rooted out but by much preaching Their confutation of errors is in deede a confutation of the trueth and a confirmation of lies as appeareth nowe more then the lyght of the Sunne at noone For as the Apostle speaketh of them They shall preuayle no longer their madnesse is made euident to all men as the inchantment of Iannes and Iambres As these withstoode Moses so the Iesuites resist Iesus Christ the lyght of the Gospel men full of ambition in their corrupt mindes and enemies to the Crosse of Christ That he thinketh his poore countreymen abused with proude ignorance I maruell what hee meaneth to blame ignorance in any For we that professe the Gospell lament and crye out against ignorance our aduersaries they alwayes haue made much of it as the mother of deuotion yea euen the most famous order of the Franciscan Fryers that extol Francis

he keepeth his person secret that he may vnderhand safely sowe matter of heresie sedition but by letters he maketh his purpose knowen with cunning speaches Why he keepeth himselfe secret so long as he may one reason is to auoide that hee would seeme to make none accompt of namely a iust punishment of his contempts against y e law Another reason is as I sayd to make way for the Pope priuately because he dareth not effect his message opeÌ„ly That he deliuereth his minde in writing not as a priuate letter in one copie but as a publique matter in many copies all abroade it is to entertaine sliding mindes with vaine hope to cast some disgrace vpon the causes of religion all by a promise of that which all the Iesuites in the worlde can not performe though this ChaÌ„pion alone doth vndertake it Such vndertakers are like ynough to ouertake some simple ones not yet cleansed from the dregges of Properie otherwise it will be hard to preuayle with men of vnderstanding who euer suspect them of bankrupting that aske so much credit of their owne word w tout any sureties Thus it appeareth that this Iesuites promises crauing credite to be beleeued in so great things is but to withdrawe many of her Maiesties subiectes from the loue of the Gospel whereby they are taught to their owne saluation and consequently from regard of them selues from obedience to her Maiesties most noble and godly proceedings Yet as if he did not minde this matter he doth insinuate his own danger for weldoing as if it were like that notwithstanding his close dealing as much to keepe himselfe as he may this busie world might finde him out sooner or later and interrupt a busie felow this watchful world would finde him out for all his watchfulnes But I would this suspicious worlde would more suspect them that come to vs in sheeps clothing being inwardly rauening wolues It is to small purpose that he layeth downe the confession of the matter without presentment of the man For if the maÌ„ were founde there is matter ynough against him without his confession Yet he would be accounted a good dealer and to saue his examiners from some labour when he shall haply be founde and brought to examination Neuerthelesse if in these letters al be not plainely confessed that may iustly be implyed then he hath not eased his examiners from the practise of their wit in finding out more daungerous practises concealed then are those which are here expressed to cloke the rest It followeth to speake of his articles layd downe directly truly resolutely to opeÌ„ his purpose 1 In the first hee confesseth his calling That albeit vnworthy hee is a priest of the Romish church which he doth falsly honour with the name of the Catholique Church Such as y e Church is such is his priesthood also the Church Antichristian the priests thereof ministers of Antichrist taking vpon them against the manifest worde of God to offer vp a sacrifice for the quicke dead An intolerable blasphemie against the all sufficient sacrifice of the Lord Iesus offring him selfe once for all for euer But to iudge an euill seruant by his owne mouth hee that is vnworthy of so foule a priesthood what shal he be worthy of Not by the great mercie but by the iust iudgement of God worthy of that that is worse worthy of a place among the newe and detestable Iesuites In this place because these scorpioÌ„s y e Iesuites are vnknoweÌ„ amoÌ„g vs in England I haue occasioÌ„ to speake of theÌ„ y t y e godly may take heed of their leauen that their louers may iustly be ashamed of such loue The Iesuites are a kinde of Regulars professing obedieÌ„ce to y e Pope their General at whose seÌ„ding they must forsooth of free cost preach wheresoeuer they be sent They had an obscure coÌ„ceptioÌ„ about fiue forty yeres past not long after y e restoring of the Gospel one Layolas a Spaniard being the father of theÌ„ But they had not their ful creation coÌ„mission till within these thirtie yeres by Pope Paulus quartus Before that time al Friers professed the rule of some one Frier as the FraÌ„ciscans the rule of Francis the Dominicans y e rule of Dominic or some one such like PatroÌ„ Afterward when euill colors bewrayed theÌ„ selues at a good light the preaching of y e Gospel brought popish orders into open iudgement then many papists were ashamed y t there was not an order after an honest name whereupoÌ„ some boldly adueÌ„tured to borow y e holy name of Iesus called theÌ„selues the societie of Iesus or Iesuites Nowe it was not so vile a thing before to name theÌ„selues by some base beggerly frier but it was afterwarde more hautie pride wheÌ„ they presumed to abuse y e name proper to Iesus at which name all the knees of all things in heaueÌ„ earth must bow down theÌ„selues This mighty glorious name these Iesuites bring in to giue credite to their weake shamefull order reckening y e Lord Iesus himself amoÌ„g Friers withal making him but a Patrone of the yongest coÌ„pany of Friers so to stand behind Francis Dominick These new Iesuites must be called y e societie of Iesus as if they alone were in the societie of Iesus all other vtterly excluded whereas rather these Iesuites are excluded for their heresies they onely included in the felowship and body of Iesus Christ which folow his doctrine and haue y e anointing of his Spirite contenting them selues with the name of Christians made to them expresly lawfull and honorable by the word of God Wherefore these that corruptly haue called themselues Iesuites may be called Iebusites without offence to the Lord Iesus most aptly in respect of their dealings As their name so chalenged to themselues is absurd seruing them only to make a shew of holinesse and to deceiue the poore people so their practises are yet more detestable For they gather learning onely as the spider gathereth poyson that they may infect the heart stomake of their disciples And as good Physicians prepare a countrepoyson to saue life so these in a contrarie course prouide not a countre venim but venim it selfe against the wholsome meate euen against the worde of God the foode of our soules whereby they are nourished preserued into life euerlasting These Monkish Friers or Frierly Monkes O heauy iudgement of God these Iebusites I say from whose contagioÌ„ we haue bene free euer hitherto they haue lately adueÌ„tured into England as skoutes to the Irish rebels and prepare to establish againe popish superstitions But let vs yet further examine these Iesuites that plague all nations where they come as the Frogges and Caterpillers of Egypt did Our bastard Papists in EnglaÌ„d that are neither true to vs nor faithfull to their owne side woulde seeme ashamed of many grosse points in Poperie saying they
