Ye Devills Jesuits and Friers By the light of London Fires Have detected your own Plots To martyr harmless Hugonots And we now do know that flame From Hell and Purgatory came But Burning London will not doe Except you could Burn Tyburn too c. § 6. But to leave the Pathetical Poet and put a period to this discourse It cannot be easily imagin'd by vulgar intellects whatever some more refin'd who soar aloft and can abstract tam â ratione quam â re may deeme after all these circumstances proved by sufficient witnesses that all the Papists as such in this affair should be innocent Yet I confess I should not chuse the Commissioners in the late Court of Claims in Ireland for Judges And that the generality of Papists are to the Jesuits but as tooles to the Mechanick their implements whithout which they can effect no great designe in their Self-Monarchy is not ordinarily denied But the Jesuits themselves have not altogether it should seem stood out of sight in blowing up Londons Flames for the Letter from Heidelberg to Mr. Alton in Sept. 1666. testifies upon the personal knowledge of the pen-man * p. 5. the BURING of London had been discours'd of among the Jesuits and expected by 15. yeares before to happen in the year 1666. and they use to prophesie of what they have laid project to effect The formention'd Letter from Alenson may be compar'd with this So may the Argument of Powel the English Jesuit at Antwerp who to perswade Henry Young in April 1661. to turn Papist saith that within five or six years they viz. Jesuits would break the Power and Strength of London in peices which could not well be imagin'd they should do any other way than by Fire * p. 30. Tomson and Copervel admirers of the Flanders Jesuits spake of the same time So did Father Taaff an Irish Jesuit at Paris 1663. tell Ferdinando de massido a Portugez of destruction * p. 31. the year after viz. 1666. Oriel an other Irish Jesuit threatned to the same purpose at his taking Shiping when he went to carry his eight Irish Boyes to the Seminaries in Flanders * p. 32. so they are yearly stealing away the Kings subjects Father Harveys good will was noted above in his confessing of Hubert whom likely the Ignatians will Cannonize in the next Age if they them●elves do not fall before as the proud Templers did The foresaid old man in the Frock look'd like a Pyrotechnist of the Fraternity And Carpenter no Question who in his glorying seem'd to please himself so much upon the Burning of London is no other than at least a Jesuit in Voto still For as 't was said Jesuita est omn is homo a Jesuit is every man he is accounted with them the better Artist who is most an Atheist Be sure as often formerly so lately in a Booksellars shop he spoke of the Church of England with the greatest Detestation ugliest words imaginable calling it dirty * p 28. 26. dungcart dung-hill c. He affirmed that the Firing of the City was a just judgement for casting off obedience to the Pope which looks like the expression of an Abetter 'T is true the Jesuits are very subtile in hiding their Arts insomuch that one said a Jesuit exceeds the Devil himself in sleights and elusions But these passages already render them palpable Agents in our troubles and the People say since the King hath garbled his guards turn'd out Papists and put in a new Lord Keeper they have not been so alarm'd with Fireing as they were before whereupon they are in hopes to make further discoveries of these Incendiaries who usually doing mischievious exploits grow more insolent and tyranicall which may hereafter occasion some novices they have imploy'd in their fiery work to tell tales out of the schooles As Jacob Capellus gives us the brief of a story from Livie that about 210 years before Christ Hist Sacra exotica p. 550. there did at Rome break out a FIRE in many places at once which continuing Night and Day consumed much The Campans the Authors of this Jncendie were so besotted that not long after they did with stripes chastise their servant Mannus who was conscious to the villanie He disclosed it to the Senate to whom yet Mannus his report did seem a little suspected But so great was the strength of truth that the incendiaries upon the accusers charge confessed they had done the Fact from an earnest desire of revenge because Q. Fulvius had beheaded their Parents and would goe on farther to procure the Campans perpetual ruine The incendiaries were executed and the remainder of the Campans nothing more mildly treated Indeed to Fire the City was not a likely way for them to get better usuage unless they could have destroyed the citizens too Yet had they done that behold the Judge stands at the door and they must soon come to a reckoning But my business is only detection of Jesuiticall incendiaries a determination concerning them I do with all submission referre to the Senate I shall only observe that the famous Antiquary Sr. Robert Cotton urgeth Preaching in a plain pr ctical manner as the most effectual remedy against the Jesuits WHiles I was drawing to a Conclusion of the precedent Discourse a Pamphlet called Observations both Historical and Moral upon the Burning of London invites me to an Appendix to the last Section The Authour by his Mathematicks seems to be some Virtuoso but for the cunning that he useth in dawbing with untempered morter one would guess him to be a pretender at least to State-Divinity For the Historicals he gives us about the Conflagration of Moscow considering the combustible materials I had rather believe the substance of his relation than go thither to disprove M.

Yet I may without offence mind him of two or three dormitats as when in page 22. speaking of the Tartarians he tells they are a Warlike people though they eat nothing but roots and such like substance and drink only water yet in the next words says

the greatest Lords among them feed upon flesh baked between the Horse and the Saddle wherein rideth the Horseman But perhaps this Gentleman by some Hocus-pocus or rather by his Chymical Art in which I perceive he hath a Tincture can extract flesh out of roots be like ti 's easie for roots And why may not this be done by the same Art by which the bloud and filth of the dead bodies on which they trod squirted in their faces when at the same time they felt the poor limbs of these creatures being calcin'd by the vehement heat of the fire as namely their armes legs to break under their feet like glass p. 24. 25. But while I take the Traveller thus napping he 'l alledge Aliquando dormitat Homerus And he might not observe these and the like Dormitats when they stole into his little Treatise lying dormant so long in the corner of his Desk and so let it pass For the morals of his Treatise he seems to dwindle whiles under asmooth pretention of ascribing the Conflagration of Lond. to divine Providence he endeavours to destroy moral evidence and yet we can in reason expect no other in a matter of Fact it being not capable of a Mathematical Demonstration as I know our little Treatiser will easily grant To weaken the Gentlemans confidence that 't was only by an unhappy chance as he expresseth himself he may see in the last Paragraphs above 1 propria confessio or persons condemning themselves 2 Evidentia facti palpable in the casting of Fire-balls into houses Cellars c. observ'd by eye-witnesses if Sincera would have men believe their own eyes and think there is any truth in his Dutch Merchants relation concerning the Burning of Moscow 3 Testes idonei credible wjtnesses under no impeachment of prevarication in thier informing against such sa they found not only in suspicious circumstances but in the Fact of Firing And must we suppose a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or general agreement of informants in their joynt attestations was only a conspiracy against the Truth or a malicious design to impeach the Papists and their Leaders the Jesuits against all the principles of nature maxims of civil Society Reason and Religion that in such a time of losses persons of sobriety reputation must from a principle of Fiery-revenge add one to all the rest I mean the shipwrack of Faith and a good conscience Is the mans name indeed Rege sincera or may he not mean by these letters and syllables Igne Secarer as if the City should say in the language of some upbraiding Jesuit I would be torn in pieces by the Fire rather then change my Religion We have heard what the Jesuits threatned to London and what they did before to other Cities It may be the Gentleman under whose umbra he writes knows this conjecture about the name to be but a meer fancy be it so I am content only hope this working of fancy is venial taking occasion from the strangeness of the name Yet I would fain know of our Historico-moral-observator whoever he be how all or any of his eight causes of this Incendie may be of force to invalidate such evidence as was given in by the Informants against his Hypothesis for did the carelesness of the Baker suggested against his own solemn protestation which cannot be disprov'd in not taking up his fire make any of these witnesses as careless in speaking of the truth or did the narrowness of the streets the weakness of the buildings the quantity and quality of Combustibles c. at all conduce and lend their helping hand to the Banishing of Astraea justice and honesty five miles from this once glorious City might I not say comparatively this City of Righteousness I shall only demand one thing more of him and I have done with him and mine Apendicular Apologetick he hath put me to the charge of Do not men ordinarily believe this kind of evidence to be good in matters of Fact And if others do why should not I thou man of Morals tell me why FINIS
