A LETTER OF A CATHOLIKE MAN Beyond the seas written to his friend in England INCLVDING Another of Peter Coton Priest of the Society of Iesus to the Queene Regent of France Translated out of French into English TOVCHING The imputation of the death of Henry the IIII late K. of France to Priests Iesuites or Catholicke doctrine Cypr. Epist 55. ad Cornel. Haec est vera dementia non cogitare scire quòd mendacia non diu fallant This indeed is madnes not to thinke and know that lyes do not long deceaue Permissu Superiorum M. DC X. DEARE Syr hauing vnderstood by one of yours that both you other of our friendes there haue byn much astonished of late with the suddaine newes of the execrable slaughter of the Great and Potent Monarch Henry the IIII. King of France I nothing meruailed the same astonishment being common to vs heere and I thinke to all the Christiā world But hauing further vnderstood by the reading of yours that there with you the same so detestable a parricide was imputed commōly to Priests or Iesuites and by some to the Pope himself but by the most part to Catholick Doctrine for answere of yours I sent you first the Copy of a letter of a principall man no lesse then a Counseller of France namely Monsieur du Wick the Gouernour of Cales his brother writtē by his own hand to a friend of his in Italy which I my selfe turned into English word for word as it was set downe by him in French where he writeth that the miserable wretch that killed the sayd King affirmed that neuer any man perswaded him to that enterprize of his the which sayth he we all belieued because in all his examinations interrogations euen vntill he was put to death he perscuered still cōstant in the same assertion Besides I certified you of a certayne Booke which was written heere in Italy in answer of our Kings Booke about the Oath which being presented to his Holines as it is sayd was not permitted to be printed because of a rash assertion therin contayned about the question of killing of Kings For which cause the Authour therof seeking to print his sayd booke in Germany was through the prudency as I vnderstād chiefly of an English Gentlemā remaining in those parts forbidden likewise there to print it But things which since haue hapned haue made me lesse to meruaile that there with you such things were spread when as in Frāce yea in Paris it selfe in the middest of so Noble and Catholike a Citty in the eyes eares of thē that knew the contrary and in the cleare shining light of the truth it selfe the cōmon enemy of truth hath had so much power as to find some impudent instrumēts to affirme publickly to preach the same calumnie But truly was it sayd Fortior est omniū Veritas vincit Truth is strongest of all things and will ouercome at length although for a while by some violence it may remaine oppressed or disguised For so euen now in France in the sayd Citty of Paris it is come to passe that Iesuites which were in part although far of calūniated about that matter being afterwards heard and the truth knowne not only haue byn iustified deliuered frō such a false iniurious slaūder but also honoured esteemed more thē before as most louing loyall subiects to that Noble Monarch which had beene in his life time alwaies so louing affectionat towards thē as all the world knoweth And who at the very instāt of so vnworthy a calumniation imployed thēselues to honour the same King as their most deare Father in trāsporting with great solēnity his own hart bequeathed to thē by himself in his life time deliuered thē after his death by cōmandmēt of the Q. Mother Regent of Frāce to the Noble Vniuersity de la Flesche built for thēselues of late years by the said King of glorious Memory And because I haue by good hap gottē the fight of a little Treatise writen in the Frēch tongue expresly in Cōfutatiō of the falsity begō to be spread in Paris against the Iesuits the w ch also doth fully answere to the like calūnious oppositiōs false obiectiōs spread abroad by the treachery of the common enemy of truth there in your parts I thought it necessary to turne it into the English tōgue that so the truth may there also be known to the honor glory of the author of all truth cōfort not only of the īnocēt but also of al thē that with true charity desire to know the truth maintaine the same A LETTER DECLARATORY OF THE COMMON Doctrine of the Fathers of the Society of Iesus conforme to the Decrees of the Coūcell of Constance VVritten to the Queene Mother of the King Regent in France By Father Peter Coton of the same Society his Maiesties ordinary Preacher at Paris 1610. MADAME GOD ordained in the old Testament that the kidd should not be boiled in the milke of his damme to signify as Philo the Iew doth expound it that one which is already afflicted is no more to be oppressed with new affliction According to the which rule deriued from nature it selfe those of our Society did hope that with this dolefull accident the terrour wherof hath shaken the two poles of the Christian world they might haue had at least their breath free to sigh after their incōparable losse A losse which is as particuler to them as generall and cōmon to all But it hath happened to them as to men which find themselues vnder the ruine of a house where one stone doth not expect the other to couer and ouerwhelme them vpon whome it falleth We were both in mind body occupied about the transporting of that precious gage and remarkable pledge which it hath pleased your Maiestie by the hands of the Prince of Conty to giue consigned vnto vs and to the which the Chiefe Lords of France rendred the last honours when some no welwillers of the Catholike Religion and of thē of our profession to purchase vs in famy and to make their gaine of our absence spread abroad certaine rumors so farre from all likelihood and probability that a man would neuer haue thought that such ca-Iumnies could euer euen in any mad mood enter into the thought of a resonable soule All this began by the occasion of a naughty booke the doctrine wherof hath byn rightfully condemned by the Court of Parliament some maintayning that the doctrine of the Booke was the common doctrine of all Iesuits others that the doctrine was so proper to his Author that many of the same Society had written the contrary and altogeather had condemned it some yeares agoe in the body of a Prouinciall Congregation the which controuersy men without passion did straight determine cōcluding that this would be knowne by disauowing therof and therefore that it was to be expected what we would say
