the same cryme but acknowledgeth his fault accuseth himself from tyme to tyme seeketh not to perswade any and finally doth nothing but of meere frailtie The fifteenth deuise of the Hugonots is to charge those who defend the Iesuits of being addicted to the Spaniard For which cause my Author taketh vpō him to examine the ground of this deceiptfull obiection Wherfore saith he if this proceedeth from being Iesuits the Societie began in France in the Colledge of S. Barbara which is in the Vniuersitie of Paris Yf it be in respect of their being Religious men euery man seeth that there are many other besides them Yf in respect of France they in that Countrey are French-men and there is no reason why a French-man should not loue his nation as well as any Spaniard doth his or as well as the Portughese German Italian English those of Iaponia and Perù doe theirs Yf in regard of the three Religious vowes they are common to all Religious orders euen to the Knights of Malta Yf in respect of the fourth which is peculiar to them that belongeth lesse to the Spaniards thē to the Antipodes for it concerneth only their missions among Infidells and the conuersion of other lost Soules Yf this imputation be laid vpon their Rules they are commanded by one of them expressely to loue and respect all Nations in our Lord alway giuing the chief place euery man to his owne as the rule of well-ordered charity doth require If their functions be obiected these are as profitable more necessary in France then in Spayne neyther can any of them be attributed rather to Spayne then to any other Nation besides that many other principall persons do preach teach and confesse who notwithstanding are not accompted Spaniards Yf the reason be for that the Society hath one Generall the Carthusians and the Dominicans haue but one during his life in like manner Yf because he is not a Frenchman those of other Orders are no Frēchmen neyther Yf because he is a Neapolitan sonne to the Duke of Atri and great Vncle to the Duke who now is he is not therefore a Spaniard Yea his most noble house hath been alwaies allied to those of France witnesse the Countesse of Chasteau-Vilain his Neece Yf they obiect that heretofore the Society hath had Spanish Generalls since the time of B. F. Ignatius who was the first and of Nauar there haue been but fower two Spaniards Fa. Laynes and Fa. Borgia who before had beene Duke of Gandia the third Fa. Euerard Mercurian who was borne in Liege Fa. Claudius Aquauiua who now liueth and is an Italian as hath beene said But supposing that they had all beene Spaniardes that they were so still and should be soe hereafter were this any greater cause for Frenchmen to complayne of the Society then Spaniards Italians and other Nations haue to be grieued that there be three Generalls of diuers Orders in one only Prouince of France But perhaps they will say that the King of Spayne is a great benefactor of the Society notwithstanding the truth is that neither this King nor his Father nor any of his Predecessours Kinges of Spayne did euer found one Colledge for the Society And if any will suspect that at least he alloweth some pensions the contrary is manifest For since that the Society refuseth any recompense for their labours and functions it can much lesse admit any pension And noe man aliue is able to proue that euer any French Father receyued a penny from the King of Spayne Finally no man can deny but that the late King Henry the fourth fauoured the Society exceedingly bestowed great benefits vpon them had great confidence in them and obliged them in all respects to loue him so that it is hard to say whether of the two calumniations chiefly contayned and inculcated in the Anti-Coton be greater That the Society teacheth any doctrine different from that of the Catholicke Church or That they should haue any hand in the late Kings death Lastly my Author sheweth that there is noe cause why Spaniards should be so odious to Frenchmen since that they are good Christians and Catholicks aswell as other Nations and there is now no warre but peace betwixt these two nations sending their mutuall Embassadors one to another calling one another brethren their Subiects hauing free traffique among thēselues And if this hatred ariseth from any thing that is past there want not the like occasions with others who notwithstanding are not thus inueighed against nor ought to be although they differ also in Religion Wherefore this can proceed from no other ground but from the malice of the Diuell himselfe who is the Father of all diuision and seeth very well that the good and quiet of the Catholike Church depēdeth in great part of the vnion betwixt these two puissant Nations A BRIEFE Relation of F. Cotons and the Societies proceedings togeather with a Chalenge to the Hugonots and a Supplication to the Queene Regent §. VI. FOr conclusion of this whole discourse I haue reserued these three points which my Author handleth vpon different occasions and in diuers places First then cōcerning Fa. Coton he saith that he is a Christian a Catholike a Priest a Religious man who goeth to Confession and hath celebrated the holy Sacrifice of the Masse euery day for these eighteene yeares he hath beene of the Society 27. yeares and more in which he hath studied Rhetoricke Philosophy Diuinity the languages Mathematiks and since he hath also taught Humanity Rhetorick and moral Diuinity and preached in many of the most principall Cittyes of the Realm He hath often disputed both by word and writing with diuers Ministers and other Hugonots He hath assisted in the conuersion of many especially in three Prouinces and that in great number and since his being at the Court he hath laboured in the reduction of the Earles de Lauall de Castelnau de Mainuille de Vassan de Chaumont and many other he was sent for thither by the late King when he thought nothing lesse being at that time in Auignion his conuersation his learning and his manner of life were so agreeable and pleasing to his Maiesty and his Counsell that he did not onely retayne him at the Court and in his retinue but also made him his Preacher and afterward his ordinary Confessarius His sermōs discourses and proceedings were so farre from being tedious to the late King that he desired to haue him alwaies in his sight and company in so much that he made choice of him to heare the generall Cōfession of his whole life and did alwaies vpon euery occasion prayse honour commend him defending him against all his aduersaries The whole Court will testifie that nothing was euer obserued in his manners or doctrine which might offend or scandalize any When he was healed recouered of the blow or stab which was giuen him it pleased his Maiesty to say vnto him You had neuer a better blow
