helpe but vpon this condition that ye keepe your selues within the limits of your Schooles and affect not heereafter the intermedling of State matters Augustus Caesar might bee your Prtrone who though he were a man made of the best moulde yet often wished his own quiet desired to be vacant from the affaires of gouernmēt that he might liue to himselfe and to the Muses why should not your great spirits doe so and let Kings handle their owne Scepters whilest yee striue to clime thus high yee make your selues ridiculous Keepe your selues in the middle course hold yee to your owne station that

your Chayres your Churches and places of Confession heere yee may exercise your fasting and seuerest discipline or rather a temperate and medecinall diet if your iollity heere be ouer clowded some time with sorrow you must remember how braue a thing it is to beare stripes manfully but you will aske where this religious holy place is whither wee would send yee it is in Amsterdam in the Low countries the Saint that is worshiped in this religious and miraculus place is called Saint Rorspine and his Colledge that is ioyned with them is Saint Ponus the place is sittuate in the way nere the holy street and because you loue holesome Ayre well heere is that admirable good temper of the Ayre which can neuer be exprest though a man hard as many tongues as there be flies in Armenia at Amsterdam by reason of the sea incompassing and interlacing there is perpetuall trafficke so that hereby ye may haue opportunitie to doe that which Iesuits much busie themselues withall namely to send and receiue daily intelligence from farre Countries this is a fayre pull for you but yet there is more behind our Maisters of Amsterdam are somewhat ouerhonest and easily taken with men that make profession of religious order and by reason of the monstrous miracles that are daily performed they giue very large offerings to this saint Rorspine and his fellow they cease not euery day to offer vp most precious Francomscence to this god and to account his Priest the toppe of their friends and because they know that yee loue faire and large houses they promise that if this house be to little for you they will enlarge it and adde other houses to it and all for Saint Rorspine sake and Saint Ponus and for the Brother-hood of the Iesuits and heere might yee haue good opportunity to spread your Religion and instructions for that many that haue a Catholike vaine are brought daily to Amsterdam by wooden horses who would acount it great gaine for them that you are receiued into Saint Rorspines sanctuary and there ye should be rid of the daily feare of being banished or being torne asunder like Acteon with his Doggs If yee haue any secret disease which yee would be ashamed to confesse in the Temple of Esculapius yee may be bould with this Saint who will be willing to heale your sores if yee shall doe thus and ply the people as they shal be sent to your schoole yee may laughe at the great Statse-men that are indangered by the factions of the people and are faine to fish with a golden hooke whilest your selues sit quiet in the middest of all stormes And now there shall be no more Pilgrimages taken to our Ladie of Loretto or of Hales saint Rorspine shall take vp all the custome that shall robbe all other shrines of miracles there shal we heare how many hath beene healed by the power of saint Rorspine by the intercession of saint Ponus here was one freed from a burning Ague there another bursten guts healed Iohn Fuks a souldier of Scotland recouered his health by singular deuotion and ceaselesse praier Francis Rosse at Anwerpe was in the like manner cured of a dangerous melancholly disease by the same intercession Another likewise of a lame Creeple was made as nimple as a dauncer Another voyded a worme out of his body of a huge length And this same saint Rorspin in the yeare 1610. did cure a certaine Irishman of the Falling sicknesse and cast a Diuell out of a woman at Lewarden Nay the very name of saint Rorspine being vttered in the hearing of the sicke will make them as whole as a Fish In the yeare 1602. when the plague was so ripe in Amsterdam it neuer touched this holy place the inhabiters thereof were in so good health that their skinnes were so full as they could hold for cracking Besides these many Miracles are done in France Italy and Spaine but there a man must beleeue them and make himselfe blinde to see them But our Saints Miracles doth bulke vp a Gods name though a man hath no beliefe in them there remaine visible euidences of them which hang vp in the Church of Fame And that we be not silent of the houses prouided for our Fathers the Iesuits the house prouided for them is a faire Pallace the Roofe of it is couered with Brasse

Vniuersitie of Paris he gets vp with the whip in his hand and layes about him so lustily that he flies with his luggage through the countrey the people that see this Chariot scoure along so fast giue
