Pilgrimage

BEFORE
Wee
shew
the
Iesuites
bald
Crowne
,
or
discouer
his
plottes
,
it
will
fal
necessary
that
we
let
you
vnderstand
this
perilous
Pilgrimage
of
the
Diuell
,
nay
,
rather
to
the
Diuell
.
And
for
the
better
proceeding
of
the
Writer
,
and
larger
vnderstanding
of
the
Reader
,
I
haue
diuided
this
Iourney
into
fiue
parts
,
purposing
to
speake
particularly
of
them
in
their
seuerall
places
:
The
points
are
these
:
viz.
The
Pilgrimage
;
secondly
,
the
Pilgrime
;
thirdly
,
the
Saint
whereto
they
trauell
;
fourthly
,
the
things
they
offer
fifthly
and
lastly
,
the
fruites
of
their
Iourney
.
France
;
England
cannot
altogether
excuse
her selfe
of
this
culpable
guilt
;
the
excéeding
many
vanities
that
are
vsed
in
this
superstitious
Pilgrimage
,
last
spoke
of
,
were
much
labour
to
write
,
and
it
would
prooue
tedious
for
you
to
reade
,
therefore
passing
ouer
many
,
we
will
onely
touch
a
few
that
are
now
in
vse
in
Flaunders
,
and
Brabant
,
our
neighbour
Countries
(
as
it
were
)
And
I
feare
me
too
many
here
in
England
knew
them
too
well
before
they
read
them
:
But
to
our
purpose
.
S.
Sceruias
at
Mastrike
,
which
is
a
Cittie
scituated
vpon
the
famous
Riuer
the
Mase
,
and
borders
on
the
Land
of
Luke
;
which
Country
is
gouerned
by
a
Bishop
.
Their
Pilgrimage
to
our
Lady
of
Scerpenhowell
is
in
this
manner
:
The
place
where
the
Chappell
stands
was
a
thicke
wood
,
where
they
affirme
many
robberies
haue
been
done
to
the
great
indamaging
of
Passengers
.
It
Chaunced
vpon
a
night
,
about
the
yere
of
our
Lord
1597.
A
flocke
of
Sheepe
belonging
to
a
Farmer
of
a
little
Towne
not
farre
off
,
were
strayed
from
their
accustomed
walks
,
to
the
place
where
now
the
Chappell
stands
;
the
Sheepheard
missing
them
,
told
his
Maister
,
who
presently
tooke
one
way
,
and
the
Shepheard
the
other
,
to
looke
the
strayed
flocke
;
but
it
was
the
Sheepheards
chance
to
light
on
this
place
,
where
all
his
Sheep
sate
round
about
a
great
Oake
:
The
Shepheard
assayed
to
driue
them
away
,
but
could
not
;
musing
what
might
be
the
reason
,
he
cast
his
eyes
vp
in
the
Tree
,
and
sawe
the
Image
of
our
Lady
,
which
presently
he
tooke
down
,
and
presently
the
Sheepe
came
all
bleating
,
and
running
about
him
:
The
amazed
man
could
not
lay
downe
the
Image
,
but
hasted
home
wards
,
the
Sheepe
following
him
,
bleating
as
if
they
had
accused
him
of
theft
.
When
he
was
come
into
the
Towne
,
the
people
wondered
,
and
presently
sent
for
their
Pastor
,
who
caused
the
Image
to
be
set
in
the
Church
;
and
the
Sheepe
were
driuen
to
their
Coats
.
The
next
morning
the
Sheepheard
mist
onely
one
Sheepe
:
And
the
Pastor
going
to
the
Church
to
say
Masse
,
mist
the
new-come
Image
;
whereupon
he
requested
the
Sheepheard
to
bring
him
to
the
place
where
he
first
found
it
,
and
taking
some
of
the
sufficientest
men
in
the
Towne
,
they
approched
heere
the
place
,
where
they
found
the
Image
in
the
former
place
,
and
the
Sheepe
lying
bound
at
the
roate
of
the
tree
,
and
in
the
Barke
of
the
tree
in
Romane
letters
was
this
Ingrauen
,
Offer
this
Sheepe
,
build
heere
a
Church
,
and
call
it
Scerpenhowell
:
The
Priest
amazed
at
this
strange
accident
,
put
on
his
Roabes
,
and
did
commande
the
company
of
his
parishoners
,
where
a
solemne
Masse
was
sung
;
the
sheepe
sacrificed
,
&
the
day
and
place
consecrated
,
for
a
remebrance
of
this
much
admired
Miracle
:
presently
this
was
rumord
to
the
gates
of
Rome
,
&
many
thousands
came
in
deuotion
to
this
most
holy
place
,
&
did
offer
their
bounteous
beneuolence
,
towards
that
erecting
of
a
Chappell
:
where
by
the
infinite
number
of
People
that
came
,
&
daily
do
come
,
the
place
is
now
become
a
populous
Towne
:
8.
Priests
are
there
richly
mainteined
,
of
eight
countries
,
termed
by
the
name
of
secular
Priests
,
to
aduertise
all
strangers
of
this
sheepish
Miracle
.
Latine
,
French
,
and
Dutch
:
and
this
vpon
my
own
knowledge
I
can
affirme
.
There
are
in
priuate
two
Chirurgions
kept
,
of
the
most
skilfullest
men
in
the
Countrey
;
and
many
bring
sicke
and
lame
Children
thithet
,
which
by
the
cunning
of
these
skilfull
men
are
cured
,
and
the
praise
ascribed
to
our
Lady
of
Scerpenhowell
.
This
grosse
crime
is
so
closely
,
and
cunningly
carryed
;
&
euery
Sabaoth
two
Sermons
made
,
in
the
affirming
of
this
Miracle
,
the
it
remaines
currant
,
as
sterling
money
:
and
the
place
is
much
inriched
with
gold
,
&
siluer
;
nay
corne
,
wine
,
wool
,
eggs
,
or
any
other
commedity
is
receiued
in
good
part
:
But
neuer
any
fruits
come
from
thence
,
but
the
Priests
absolutions
.
If
I
should
recite
euery
thing
particularly
,
it
were
to
much
black
colour
for
a
quire
of
paper
;
onely
let
this
sufsice
,
to
proue
it
no
other
,
but
a
plaine
&
direct
path
,
where
the
Diuell
,
or
his
seruants
walke
their
Pilgrimage
.
Now
for
the
second
:
although
it
is
not
so
sheepish
,
yet
it
is
more
sottish
;
and
that
is
this
.
In
Mastricke
,
in
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
1542.
there
liued
,
&
died
a
reuerend
Bishop
,
who
for
his
almes
,
and
chastitie
,
it
pleased
the
Pope
,
and
the
Councell
of
Trent
to
Cannonise
for
a
Saint
;
presently
his
portrature
was
raysed
in
brasse
,
gilded
with
gold
:
to
whom
all
the
countrey
come
twice
euery
yeare
,
and
bring
aboundance
of
wealth
.
In
this
yeere
1611.
there
came
an
exceeding
drought
,
&
what
happened
by
the
pollicie
of
the
Iesuits
,
you
shall
at
large
hears
when
I
come
to
pluck
off
the
foure
cornerd
cap
from
their
politike
pates
:
I
could
describe
the
holy
bloud
of
Buxall
,
and
the
three
Kings
of
Cullin
;
both
which
are
two
great
frequented
Pilgrimages
at
this
day
:
Saint
Lewes
in
France
,
S.
Iaques
in
Spaine
,
&
many
in
Italy
;
but
they
sauour
of
one
tast
;
&
therefore
I
should
cloy
your
stomacks
excedingly
But
prepare
your
appetites
,
for
heere
comes
a
fresh
dish
,
or
the
second
course
of
the
Pilgrimes
.
Now
for
the
second
sort
of
the
dissembling
Pilgrims
,
I
feare
me
there
are
too
many
:
but
omitting
the
secret
,
we
will
onely
discouer
the
notorious
and
capitall
sort
.
The
third
Edward
of
England
had
a
faire
Sister
,
called
Philip
,
matched
to
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
who
at
a
certaine
time
standing
before
her
gates
,
espied
a
Spanish
Lady
going
in
deuotion
to
Saint
Lewes
in
Fraunce
,
And
in
curtesie
desired
her
to
take
the
entertainement
of
her
Court
;
The
Spanish
Lady
noting
gracious
speach
and
delicate
beauty
,
tooke
occasion
to
compare
the
beautie
of
the
Dutches
to
the
beauty
of
her
Brother
in
Spaine
,
where
at
the
Dutches
burnt
in
such
desire
to
see
him
,
that
was
so
highly
commended
by
his
owne
Sister
,
that
she
dissembled
her
health
,
and
lying
sicke
of
a
feyned
disease
,
vowed
to
God
(
before
the
sorrowfull
Duke
)
that
if
God
should
restore
her
to
her
former
health
,
she
would
goe
in
deuotion
to
Saint
Iaques
in
Spaine
,
and
offer
for
her
health
.
Upon
this
Ladies
returne
,
she
Dutches
recouered
,
and
according
to
her
vowe
,
she
trauailed
to
Spaine
for
the
sight
of
a
Spanish
Lord
.
At
their
enteruiew
their
sights
were
pleasing
to
each
other
,
and
their
beauties
admired
of
each
other
;
and
after
some
amorous
conference
,
he
vowing
to
serue
her
as
her
Knight
,
and
she
most
willingly
accepting
,
she
returned
,
but
with
heauy
successe
,
for
the
neuer
sawe
her
wedded
Lord
after
:
He
being
imployed
in
wars
,
against
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
left
a
Lord
of
his
Countrey
as
Deputy
in
his
place
,
who
vpon
the
returne
of
his
Lady
,
burned
in
lustfull
Loue
with
her
beauty
,
and
desired
her
to
graunt
him
fauour
for
his
affections
:
The
chast
Lady
despising
his
motion
,
derided
him
for
his
folly
,
at
which
the
villaine
grew
so
enuious
,
being
poisoned
with
the
Diuels
baite
,
that
he
sought
all
occasions
to
defame
her
,
and
by
meanes
of
a
silly
Kimsman
,
he
found
way
to
bring
her
within
the
compaste
of
the
law
.
And
being
by
him
accused
for
adulterie
,
she
was
condemned
to
fire
,
if
none
within
the
space
of
fifteene
weekes
should
come
to
fight
in
her
cause
:
this
Spanish
Lord
hauing
receiued
a
Letter
of
her
wrongs
,
sent
her
word
backe
he
could
not
,
neyther
would
he
come
.
Then
she
repented
her
long
Iourney
,
and
being
voide
of
earthly
hopes
,
prepared
her selfe
for
death
,
expecting
no
deliuerance
:
But
contrary
to
expectation
,
the
Spanish
Lord
came
in
the
habite
of
a
Frier
,
and
confest
her
in
Prison
,
and
afterwards
sought
for
her
,
ouerthrew
Pendosta
,
and
freed
her
from
death
,
and
shame
;
and
after
the
Dukes
death
marryed
the
Dutches.
Although
this
kind
of
dissimulation
was
euill
in
the
Dutches
,
yet
it
comes
not
neare
the
close
dissimulation
that
is
vsed
in
these
daies
.
I
will
giue
you
a
tast
of
some
in
the
Cittie
of
Cades
in
Spaine
.
There
is
a
great
Monastary
of
no
small
acount
.
where
in
many
Gentlemen
doe
inclose
their
Daughtes
:
And
so
it
was
,
there
liued
a
Gentleman
in
the
famous
Cittie
of
Antwerpe
,
The
louely
Pilgrimes
accompanied
each
other
&
made
the
way
short
with
their
pleasing
talke
,
each
commending
others
wit
in
the
seuerall
acting
of
their
parts
,
till
at
length
the
blacke
eyed
night
lookt
from
the
East
,
and
Phoebus
tooke
his
rest
in
Thetis
lap
,
and
this
yoake
of
Pilgrims
also
according
to
the
custome
of
trauellers
,
desired
repose
.
Hauing
taken
vp
their
Inne
they
caused
supper
to
be
prouided
,
and
after
supper
with-drew
themselues
into
a
faire
chamber
,
where
the
maide
counselled
the
Mistresse
to
accept
of
a
bed
fellow
,
telling
the
dangers
of
spirits
,
catching
cold
,
idle
thoughts
,
and
panting
greise
that
often
haunted
the
minde
of
a
sole
&
weake
woman
.
Dalindas
words
were
of
such
force
that
he
preuailed
,
&
the
kind
Gentlewoman
affected
her
maide
so
much
,
that
shee
accepted
of
her
society
in
bed
:
for
these
words
shee
spoke
.
Kind
Dalinda
although
in
this
iourney
you
are
to
accompany
me
for
a
hand-maide
,
yet
vpon
the
condition
you
will
sweare
to
do
me
true
seruice
by
night
as
you
haue
done
by
day
,
and
serue
me
in
bed
as
well
as
abroad
I
heere
accep̄t
of
you
for
my
choice
bed
fellow
.
In
conclusion
Dalinda
agreed
to
all
her
kind
Mistresse
proposed
,
And
so
to
bed
they
went
:
from
whence
I
thinke
shee
rose
discharged
of
the
Art
of
honesty
.
Thus
this
yong
couple
past
away
their
iourney
merrily
,
vntill
their
long
way
had
brought
them
to
the
ports
of
Cades
,
where
they
were
louingly
receiued
&
brought
to
the
Abbesse
of
that
Monastery
.
Shée
without
further
tryal
of
their
intents
presented
them
the
oath
of
chastity
which
they
both
solemnely
tooke
deepely
vowing
to
kéepe
themselues
as
they
were
.
Thus
they
were
accepted
for
sisters
,
but
sister
Dalinda
shifted
bed
fellowes
so
often
the
three
of
the
sisters
grew
sick
of
the
double
disease
,
which
when
Dalinda
heard
,
for
feare
of
punishment
,
found
meanes
to
escape
,
and
with
shipping
came
to
Amsterdam
in
Holland
,
where
hée
is
wealthily
married
to
the
Burgomaisters
daughter
of
the
Citty
.
The
3
sisters
were
thrust
out
of
the
Monastery
,
&
came
home
to
their
fathers
,
each
of
them
bringing
the
honourable
badge
of
chastitie
breeding
in
their
bellies
.
There
are
too
many
of
those
dissembling
Pilgrimes
now
a
daies
.
Some
I
could
write
of
,
that
would
proue
too
shamefull
for
the
Writer
,
and
cause
the
Reader
to
blush
;
but
leauing
these
close
dissemblers
to
their
most
abhorred
shame
,
that
waits
on
wantons
lust
:
Trouble
your selues
to
turne
ouer
these
leaues
,
and
you
shall
find
the
dangerous
estate
of
the
needy
Pilgrimes
.
Let
this
suffice
for
the
second
,
&
also
to
proue
that
all
those
that
walke
in
this
path
,
are
without
doubt
the
Diuels
Pilgrimes
,
or
at
least
,
going
Pilgrimage
vnto
him
.
This
needy
Traueller
is
almost
in
the
nature
of
an
English
Rogue
,
there
is
small
difference
,
and
he
is
as
ranke
a
dissembler
as
the
other
.
There
are
of
all
Nations
that
professe
this
needy
life
,
but
of
all
,
there
are
most
Irish
,
and
I
can
not
blame
them
,
for
by
nature
they
are
borne
to
be
lowsy
,
straglers
and
stirrers
vp
of
rebellion
;
And
since
it
hath
pleased
God
of
his
mercy
to
plant
his
peaceable
word
,
and
by
the
meanes
of
his
Seruant
,
our
most
gratious
Soueraigne
Lord
,
King
Iames
(
whome
God
long
preserue
)
to
make
a
ciuill
Countrey
,
of
the
most
barbarous
parts
in
Ireland
:
There
are
many
that
haue
harkened
to
the
Diuels
whispering
,
&
sworne
their
true
seruice
to
his
adopted
Sonne
,
the
Romish
Priest
.
No
meruaile
though
they
cannot
content
themselues
vnder
a
quiet
gouernment
,
but
had
rather
eate
of
the
Scraps
of
Spaine
,
and
Italy
,
then
feede
of
the
plentie
of
their
reformed
Countrey
:
they
are
borne
wild
of
brute
bringing
vp
,
and
so
they
meane
to
continue
:
they
neuer
knew
what
reformation
meant
,
neyther
do
they
purpose
euer
to
know
,
for
as
they
were
brought
vp
,
so
they
bring
vp
their
Children
,
onely
to
shamefull
begging
,
in
the
manner
of
Pilgrims
,
with
their
Letters
of
Confession
in
a
Tinne
Boxe
,
which
they
hang
by
their
sides
:
They
walke
in
the
name
of
the
Popes
Seruants
;
and
indeed
the
needy
Hipocrites
do
thriue
in
their
vile
profession
exceedingly
.
But
there
is
the
mischiefe
;
what
they
g●
with
impudent
begging
,
they
spend
with
immodest
abuses
.
There
are
also
many
of
our
countrymen
,
of
this
intreating
trade
,
which
for
some
offence
are
constrained
to
leaue
the
sweet
and
wholsome
aire
of
their
natiue
country
,
and
liue
in
the
abhominations
of
the
Babilonious
Mistresse
.
And
how
the
English
Iesuits
of
Louaine
do
intreat
them
,
you
shall
plainely
see
when
their
caps
are
of
,
and
their
crownes
discouered
.
But
courteous
reader
,
feast
no
longer
vpon
the
needy
dish
of
Pilgrimes
meat
,
but
turne
thy
gentle
eye
,
and
see
the
Saint
described
whereto
they
trauell
.
Pater-nosters
,
Aue-Maries
,
and
Creeds
as
their
Ghostly
father
hath
appointed
them
,
then
they
blesse
the
image
,
desiring
the
Saint
in
heauen
to
looke
downe
and
see
in
what
humble
deuotion
hee
honours
his
or
her
image
,
then
they
crosse
themselues
which
they
call
blessing
themselues
▪
and
departing
into
a
celler
or
a
vault
vnder
ground
,
where
they
say
the
Saints
bodies
lie
buryed
,
they
first
doe
their
deuotion
in
prayers
and
after
offer
such
gifts
as
they
bring
,
be
it
gold
,
siluer
,
veluet
,
silks
,
cambrike
,
linnen
,
wollen
,
leade
,
corne
,
wine
,
oile
,
egges
,
or
any
other
commodity
,
but
gold
and
siluer
is
the
pleasingst
gifts
that
the
Saints
accept
of
,
and
bringing
good
store
of
that
,
no
doubt
but
all
shall
goe
wel
with
their
suits
:
This
being
laid
vpon
the
Altar
the
Priest
consecrates
it
,
absolues
the
party
,
and
prayes
to
the
Saint
for
him
that
he
may
haue
his
desire
:
the
Pilgrime
sufficiently
contented
,
returnes
to
the
former
image
,
and
there
powring
forth
a
million
of
thankes
for
his
good
successe
,
in
that
the
Saint
hath
vouched
safe
by
his
Priest
to
accept
of
their
vnworthy
offerings
,
and
so
they
returne
discharged
of
their
golden
burden
.
Let
this
suffice
for
their
offerings
.
Now
concerning
the
fruits
of
this
iourney
before
rehearsed
,
it
is
of
two
kinds
,
that
is
general
and
particular
.
The
general
fruite
is
deceipt
which
the
poore
Pilgrimes
plucke
with
greedy
appetites
,
the
tree
whereon
this
fruite
groweth
,
is
the
Romane
Church
,
and
it
neuer
misseth
bearing
▪
for
neither
the
heate
of
Summer
,
nor
the
cold
of
Winter
can
destroy
it
,
it
is
a
forbidden
fruite
,
and
whosoeuer
desireth
to
tast
thereof
must
needes
be
deceiued
,
it
shewes
faire
to
the
eye
,
and
promiseth
life
,
but
within
it
is
corrupted
and
bringeth
death
,
this
is
the
generall
fruite
they
reape
for
their
trauell
.
My
reason
is
this
,
the
diuell
is
a
common
deceiuer
,
and
those
that
post
Pilgrimage
towards
him
must
needs
tast
of
this
deceiptfull
fruite
.
The
second
fruite
they
reape
is
particular
,
according
to
the
disposition
of
the
party
that
desires
it
:
this
tree
is
generall
but
it
beares
particular
fruits
,
as
vaine
hope
,
wilfull
ignorance
,
blind
zeale
,
corrupt
beleife
,
false
worship
,
and
lastly
death
and
damnation
.
It
would
seeme
idlenesse
in
me
to
discourse
of
these
seuerally
,
or
to
seeme
to
disswade
men
from
this
,
therefore
.
I
will
leaue
it
to
your
owne
iudgement
,
and
to
the
learned
Diuines
counsell
,
which
is
of
farre
more
force
,
then
my
simple
perswasions
can
bee
.
Thus
much
for
this
diuelish
Pilgrimage
.
Friendly
Reader
,
if
this
long
iourney
hath
not
wearied
thee
,
goe
on
a
little
further
,
and
thou
shalt
see
my
honest
simple
skill
in
vnmasking
the
Iesuits
plots
,
let
thy
heart
be
as
free
from
enuy
,
as
my
pen
,
which
shall
put
downe
nothing
but
truth
,
and
what
I
haue
seene
,
and
dare
affirme
by
oath
,
were
it
to
their
téethes
.
Therefore
I
hope
none
will
taxe
mee
of
malice
,
for
I
had
rather
be
conuicted
of
simple
plainenesse
,
hauing
truth
on
my
side
,
then
commended
for
an
artificiall
writing
where
the
truth
is
wronged
by
false
suggestions
.
But
leauing
all
to
thy
kind
considerations
,
I
am
purposed
to
go
forward
with
my
vnlearned
stile
,
relating
their
learned
approued
practises
.
Heere
endeth
the
Diuels
Pilgrimage
,
and
here
beginneth
the
bare-headed
Iesuits
.
THere
are
diuers
Orders
in
the
Romish
religion
,
as
namely
the
Benedicts
,
the
Dominictes
,
the
Franciscans
,
the
Augustines
,
the
Carthusians
,
the
Carmelites
,
the
Capucines
,
and
lastly
the
Iesuits
,
of
whom
wee
purpose
to
speake
,
In
Latine
they
are
called
societatis
Iesu
:
in
Dutch
,
Iesuiter
,
which
signifieth
Iesus
fellowes
,
or
at
least
the
fellowship
of
Iesus
.
This
Sect
is
but
of
small
continuance
,
or
but
of
yong
growth
,
yet
neuer
Sect
in
the
world
hath
flourisht
so
for
the
time
,
for
in
them
the
Diuell
shewes
himselfe
to
bee
a
true
Politician
,
and
they
as
his
faithfull
instruments
,
spread
his
pollicy
through
the
greatest
part
of
Europa
:
In
Louaine
a
Citty
in
Brabant
,
eight
leagues
distant
from
Antwerpe
,
is
erected
a
Colledge
at
the
King
of
Spaines
charges
for
English
Iesuits
,
wherin
at
this
present
inhabits
father
Taubut
,
which
is
the
Superiour
,
father
Ioseph
,
father
Kempe
,
father
Anthony
,
father
Minister
,
&
many
more
,
besides
punies
&
nouicies
,
They
haue
their
Colledge
allowed
them
,
for
these
purposes
.
First
,
to
reconcile
or
conuert
any
of
their
countrimen
that
happen
into
their
hands
.
Secondly
,
to
disguise
themselues
,
and
like
Gentlemen
to
come
into
England
,
and
pry
into
Court
and
Counsels
to
know
the
state
of
the
land
and
Church
,
&
to
transport
their
news
to
the
Pope
,
&
their
Spanish
Lord
.
For
these
two
purposes
they
are
maintained
,
but
wee
'l
come
a
little
nearer
.
This
abhominable
sect
is
luld
in
the
lap
,
and
snuggles
in
the
breasts
of
the
seuen
deadly
sinnes
(
as
they
call
them
)
yet
they
haue
artificiall
maskes
to
shadow
all
from
the
vulgar
eys
of
the
world
.
Their
pride
is
couered
with
humility
,
as
appeares
by
their
plaine
habit
,
and
courteous
speeches
,
yet
their
hearts
heape
vp
ambitious
thoughts
:
here
may
be
a
question
asked
,
how
I
know
the
heart
?
I
will
resolue
you
,
I
haue
seene
them
in
their
Gentlemanlike
suits
,
swagger
in
more
proud
fashion
then
a
Spaniard
:
secondly
,
I
haue
obserued
pride
in
their
speeches
,
for
they
haue
a
kind
of
puryfied
speech
,
exceeding
al
mens
in
their
owne
thoughts
:
Héere
I
must
compare
them
to
many
of
our
hypocriticall
professors
in
England
,
which
take
more
care
of
their
words
,
then
their
deedes
,
I
haue
noted
them
to
scorne
all
others
that
seemed
any
way
to
distaste
their
Sect
,
and
as
I
take
it
these
are
true
notes
of
pride
:
for
rouetousnesse
they
couer
it
with
a
shew
of
pouerty
,
for
they
alwaies
professe
themselues
poore
,
protesting
if
they
had
it
,
no
man
should
want
it
,
when
as
indeed
they
will
haue
it
though
all
others
should
want
it
.
You
shall
hears
the
proofe
of
this
hereafter
,
when
I
speake
of
their
banishment
out
of
Venice
,
their
enuy
is
coloured
with
a
shew
of
desire
to
make
the
world
wise
with
their
learning
,
and
indeed
they
do
grudge
that
any
wisedome
or
learning
breathes
out
of
their
Colledges
,
they
hate
all
good
workes
that
are
not
made
by
Iesuites
,
they
cloake
wrath
with
méeknesse
,
and
in
outward
shew
are
very
gentle
and
milde
,
but
their
hearts
more
feirce
then
Lyons
:
It
is
not
vnknowne
to
many
,
what
Péeres
and
Princes
their
wrath
hath
brought
to
vntimely
ends
,
and
yet
these
tyrants
thirst
in
their
soules
for
more
royall
bloud
to
quench
their
feirce
wrath
.
But
he
is
aboue
that
preuents
their
desires
and
destroyes
their
daily
plots
.
Their
sloath
is
hidden
from
the
eye
of
any
,
but
God
and
themselues
,
and
I
thinke
in
this
sinne
they
haue
least
and
most
shew
:
for
as
the
old
prouerbe
is
,
they
are
neither
idle
,
nor
well
occupied
,
for
they
are
euer
busy
but
it
is
in
the
diuels
seruice
.
And
for
gluttony
,
hee
dwels
in
their
kitchin
,
but
you
shall
neuer
go
thither
to
see
him
.
Last
Lady
letchery
puts
on
this
maske
,
no
woman
of
what
degree
soeuer
may
enter
their
second
parts
or
inward
dore
,
but
by
your
leaue
the
Iesuits
enter
priuately
within
their
inward
dores
,
and
doe
the
deeds
of
darkenesse
with
them
when
they
please
.
But
this
may
be
thought
a
slander
,
therefore
giue
me
leaue
to
free
my selfe
from
this
suspicion
.
In
Louaine
there
is
an
English
Cloister
of
Gentlewomen
,
and
the
Lady
Abbesse
much
respected
for
her
hidden
vertues
,
in
which
Cloyster
their
dwelleth
a
young
man
called
Raph
,
which
loued
a
waiting
Gentlewoman
,
whose
Lady
often
frequented
the
company
of
the
Lady
Abbesse
,
by
which
meanes
,
Raph
and
the
maide
had
opportunity
to
conferre
.
It
chanced
one
of
the
English
Iesuits
,
a
young
man
repaired
thither
often
likewise
,
and
in
short
time
grew
into
such
inward
acquaintance
with
the
maide
,
that
Raph
tooke
his
loue
with
her
belly
full
of
young
bones
,
which
afterwads
confest
were
of
the
Iesuits
making
.
Raph
made
his
complaint
to
the
Cloisrer
,
and
told
father
Talbut
one
of
their
holy
Family
had
enioyed
too
much
homely
familiarity
with
his
wife
,
and
made
him
a
father
before
his
time
;
protesting
if
they
would
not
make
him
amends
,
hee
would
publish
it
through
the
whole
Country
.
But
the
Iesuits
agréeing
amongst
themselues
,
stopt
his
mouth
with
an
hundred
Angels
:
whereupon
Raphe
was
content
to
father
the
Iesuits
childe
.
Thus
you
sée
,
though
they
are
not
content
a
woman
should
enter
their
Cloyster
,
yet
they
themselues
will
vouchsafe
to
enter
their
closets
.
But
wee
will
leaue
to
speake
more
of
these
louing
labourers
in
the
Diuels
haruest
,
and
write
briefly
of
the
Venetian
villaines
,
which
shall
answere
my
promise
in
the
leafe
going
before
,
to
proue
their
cloked
couetousnesse
.
In
this
famous
Cittie
of
Venice
inhabited
certaine
Colledges
of
Iesuits
,
to
whom
all
the
chiefe
Merchants
wiues
went
to
confession
,
and
were
appointed
such
horrible
penance
,
that
their
husbands
riches
,
which
was
excéeding
great
,
began
to
waste
,
in
such
sort
that
the
Merchants
began
to
take
a
seuere
account
of
their
seruants
,
but
to
small
effect
;
till
at
last
,
one
perceiued
his
wife
to
purse
vp
great
store
of
gold
in
an
euening
whilest
shee
thought
he
had
slept
:
and
being
ready
to
issue
out
of
the
the
chamber
doore
,
belike
to
hide
it
against
the
next
confession
day
,
her
husband
stept
out
of
his
bed
,
and
stayed
her
,
vsing
these
words
:
Stay
swéet
wife
,
I
must
talke
with
you
.
The
amazed
woman
made
no
reply
,
but
stood
as
it
were
in
a
Traunce
.
The
Merchant
hauing
her
in
a
priuate
chamber
,
lockt
the
doore
,
and
taking
his
naked
ponyard
,
placing
the
poynt
to
her
breast
,
threatned
with
oathes
her
present
death
,
if
she
would
not
reueale
the
occasion
of
pursing
vp
that
gold
.
The
poore
woman
affrighted
with
these
words
,
confest
all
what
she
knew
of
herselfe
and
others
.
This
night
past
away
,
and
on
the
morrow
the
Merchant
sent
for
the
men
whose
wines
his
wife
had
accused
,
and
relating
the
whole
story
which
she
before
had
demonstrated
,
and
then
before
them
all
affirmed
.
They
all
agréed
to
shrowd
themselues
in
the
chamber
behinde
an
Oras
,
whilst
his
wife
by
a
priuate
token
sent
for
her
Confessour
,
who
presently
came
,
asking
the
cause
of
her
importuning
him
there
.
She
,
with
many
dissembling
sighes
,
told
him
about
a
thing
which
much
troubled
her
conscience
.
Be
of
good
cheare
(
quoth
he
)
it
shall
go
hard
but
I
will
vnload
your
conscience
of
any
sinne
whatsoeuer
.
Therefore
speake
your
minde
.
Alas
(
quoth
she
)
in
my
sleepe
I
chanced
to
dreame
of
you
,
and
in
my
dreame
spake
of
the
masses
of
gold
and
siluer
that
you
haue
had
of
me
:
my
husband
being
awake
,
ouer-heard
me
,
and
tooke
hold
of
my
words
,
casting
it
in
my
teeth
daily
.
I
denied
it
strongly
.
He
affirmes
t
is
truth
,
and
vrges
me
to
the
reuealing
of
it
,
with
perswasions
&
threatnings
,
so
that
I
know
not
longer
how
to
dissemble
,
or
defend
it
,
neither
can
I
furnish
you
with
any
more
treasure
,
by
reason
of
his
strict
accounts
,
and
narrow
prying
into
my
doings
:
therefore
(
holy
father
)
most
intirely
I
doe
entreate
you
to
resolue
me
in
this
most
dangerous
case
what
is
best
to
be
done
,
and
I
shall
most
willingly
do
my
indeuour
to
follow
your
often
aproued
good
counsell
.
You
say
well
(
quoth
the
old
Foxe
)
and
for
your
soules
good
rest
constant
,
and
confesse
nothing
,
no
though
you
should
incurre
the
greatest
displeasure
of
your
husband
;
but
rather
count
it
a
blessing
that
you
are
worthy
to
suffer
reproofe
for
the
Mother
Church
.
Goe
forward
in
your
holy
worke
,
and
to
bring
treasure
to
the
Church
,
where
neither
rust
nor
moth
shall
corrupt
,
nor
théeues
breake
through
and
steale
.
So
shall
you
bee
blest
,
and
receiue
for
your
corruptible
gold
,
an
incorruptible
crowne
of
glory
.
But
if
you
faint
and
slacke
in
this
good
worke
begun
,
you
shall
be
tormented
in
your
soule
.
Whereat
the
Merchants
rushed
forth
,
laying
hold
of
the
Iesuit
,
&
told
him
they
meant
he
should
be
tormented
in
〈◊〉
body
.
And
drawing
a
ponyard
the
womans
husband
spake
as
followeth
:
Uillaine
,
either
disclose
thy
plots
in
receiuing
our
substance
,
or
presently
prepare
for
Hell
:
for
this
resolued
hand
shall
send
thee
past
Purgatory
.
And
bending
his
ponyard
at
the
amazed
Iesuits
breast
,
the
quaking
slaue
fell
downe
on
his
knées
praying
for
mercy
,
and
he
would
discouer
all
,
and
restore
them
their
seuerall
wealthes
double
.
They
all
affirmed
,
you
are
not
worth
so
much
.
Yes
(
queth
the
Iesuit
)
I
will
make
a
shift
to
keepe
my
word
:
therefore
I
pray
you
tell
me
on
your
consciences
,
what
may
the
summe
amount
vnto
that
you
misse
.
They
answered
,
eighteene
thousand
pounds
sterling
.
Peace
(
quoth
the
Priest
)
if
you
will
promise
me
faithfully
neuer
to
report
it
,
you
shall
goe
and
receiue
the
summe
double
.
It
is
enough
(
said
the
Gentlemen
:
)
So
they
agreed
,
and
marched
together
to
the
Iesuits
Cloyster
,
where
they
were
admitted
,
and
a
most
rich
banquet
prouided
.
But
the
Father
Superiour
caused
a
mortall
potion
to
be
tempered
for
them
all
;
and
taking
a
beaker
of
Ipocras
,
drunke
a
health
to
them
all
:
and
powring
forth
the
infectious
wine
with
great
curtesie
,
he
had
them
all
heartily
welcome
,
affirming
they
should
possesse
the
fore-written
summe
with
expedition
.
The
Gentleman
(
whether
mistrusting
the
deceipt
,
or
rather
God
was
not
pleased
that
this
villany
should
proceed
)
tooke
a
Stone
shell
standing
by
him
,
and
powring
the
poyson
therein
,
the
shell
brake
in
peeces
.
Upon
this
sight
the
other
Gentlemen
drew
to
their
weapons
,
the
Iesuits
likewise
armed
themselues
:
and
in
meane
while
the
Gentlemen
plaid
the
men
,
and
got
out
into
the
streets
,
crying
,
Treason
,
Treason
,
with
their
weapons
drawne
.
At
length
they
got
into
the
Market-place
,
vnto
whom
resorted
all
the
States
,
and
most
sufficientest
Merchants
to
know
the
cause
of
this
clamour
.
So
one
of
them
got
vp
on
the
Stage
,
where
their
Comedies
are
acted
,
and
vttered
this
spéech
:
Renowned
States
,
and
worthy
Citizens
,
whom
all
the
world
admires
for
polic●
why
will
you
suffer
your selues
to
be
vndermined
?
you
your
wiues
and
children
,
know
this
,
we
are
all
deceiued
&
ouer-ruled
:
not
by
the
gracious
directions
of
you
the
Honourable
States
,
but
by
the
close
dissembling
Iesuits
;
which
(
if
it
be
not
reformed
)
will
bee
the
ruine
of
this
most
famous
Citty
.
I
speake
the
truth
,
which
some
of
my
brethren
here
can
witnesse
,
and
most
of
our
wiues
,
by
whom
our
wealth
is
transported
to
the
Iesuits
:
which
when
we
knew
,
they
inuited
vs
to
a
banquet
,
affirming
vs
our
money
double
;
but
there
they
sought
to
poyson
vs
:
but
God
hath
deliuered
vs
out
of
their
hands
to
discouer
their
villany
.
Therefore
worthy
States
,
search
their
Cloysters
,
and
you
shall
finde
infinite
store
of
treasure
there
.
This
vpon
my
soules
safety
,
and
liues
perill
,
I
affirme
it
for
truth
.
Upon
this
report
,
the
States
taking
these
Merchants
along
with
them
,
repaired
where
all
was
at
full
related
.
Whereupon
,
the
Duke
assisting
the
States
,
they
were
all
banished
the
Citie
,
hauing
nothing
allowd
them
but
their
Bookes
and
Habits
.
After
their
departure
,
their
Colledges
were
searched
,
wherein
was
found
infinite
treasure
.
And
by
a
publique
proclamation
of
the
Duke
and
States
,
the
Merchants
were
summoned
to
the
Colledge
,
where
(
vpon
their
oathes
)
euery
man
seized
on
his
owne
,
and
the
ouer-plus
,
that
no
man
challenged
,
came
to
the
Duke
and
States
,
to
the
value
of
fiue
hundred
millions
,
besides
plate
and
vestures
:
yet
these
dissemblers
profest
themselues
poore
.
Thus
were
these
Iesuits
banisht
from
Venice
,
which
displeased
the
Popes
holynesse
not
a
little
;
neuerthelesse
these
stragglers
were
by
their
false
fellowes
presently
planted
and
inriched
.
These
Iesuits
are
much
like
the
Iewes
,
for
let
them
come
where
they
will
,
they
thriue
by
their
place
.
Nay
that
which
is
more
,
let
them
be
now
in
extreame
pouerty
,
yet
with
one
yeares
dealing
they
will
grow
exceeding
rich
,
that
other
men
shall
smart
for
their
prosperity
,
I
thinke
this
point
of
knanery
hath
set
his
cap
on
the
one
side
and
discouered
halfe
his
head
,
but
this
plot
following
shall
quite
disfurnish
him
of
his
cap
,
I
pray
you
note
it
,
for
it
is
the
fulfilling
of
a
promise
that
I
made
,
when
I
spake
of
the
Pilgrimage
at
Mastricke
,
concerning
the
drouth
of
this
years
,
and
so
I
meane
to
conclude
my
little
volume
,
with
that
most
abhominable
villany
In
Mastricke
,
as
I
said
before
,
there
is
a
frequented
Pilgrimage
,
to
Saint
Sceruias
.
You
know
this
yeare
there
was
an
exceeding
drought
.
It
was
my
chance
to
be
there
at
the
present
,
(
therefore
I
will
report
but
what
I
haue
seene
)
And
many
a
hundred
came
in
blind
deuotion
and
offered
guifts
to
the
Saint
in
hope
of
raine
:
notwithstanding
the
drouth
continued
.
The
Iesuits
of
the
City
being
loath
to
let
so
faire
and
profitable
a
game
slip
without
chase
,
let
loose
their
dogs
,
which
fastned
on
this
fashion
.
One
of
their
smothest
tongues
,
annointed
with
the
Diuels
oile
,
steps
vp
into
the
Pulpit
,
and
vtters
his
Sermon
to
the
people
in
this
sort
.
This
drouth
(
quoth
he
)
is
sent
from
heauen
to
plague
the
earth
for
the
peoples
vnthankfulnesse
and
neglecting
of
their
duties
.
Heere
(
quoth
he
)
you
bring
offerings
to
this
blessed
Saint
,
but
it
is
presented
with
vnhallowed
hands
,
&
polluted
hearts
,
therfore
to
preuent
the
Lords
wrath
,
and
the
Saints
fury
,
bring
your
gifts
to
vs
,
&
our
holy
Society
will
consecrate
them
,
and
with
pure
hearts
and
vnspotted
hands
offer
them
vp
to
this
most
holy
Saint
,
who
no
doubt
but
will
be
pleased
in
loue
to
accept
them
.
Moreouer
(
quoth
he
)
your
gifts
are
defiled
with
couetousnesse
,
but
Beloued
you
must
bring
it
willingly
,
and
according
to
your
ability
;
&
then
no
doubt
but
heauens
drops
will
quench
the
thirsty
earth
.
This
was
the
marke
he
aimed
at
in
his
Sermon
,
which
as
the
Diuell
would
haue
it
tooke
effect
,
and
profited
the
Iesuits
very
much
.
For
after
this
al
offerings
were
first
brought
to
them
,
which
they
first
vnder
shew
of
sanctification
stole
the
most
and
best
part
away
,
the
Cannons
in
Saint
Sceruias
Church
got
the
rest
,
but
the
Picture
and
the
Pilgrimes
were
both
cheated
.
After
a
long
time
of
drouth
it
pleased
God
to
send
raine
;
then
they
sent
plackets
out
to
warne
the
country
to
a
thanks
offering
,
where
after
Masse
a
Sermon
was
made
in
honour
of
this
worshipfull
image
,
afterwards
they
were
let
into
a
secret
wide
roome
,
adioyning
to
the
Church
,
where
his
Portrature
stands
,
raised
in
liuely
coulours
,
two
Priests
kept
the
dore
,
and
euery
man
gaue
his
deuotion
to
see
their
tragicall
shew
.
It
appeared
much
like
our
stage-players
,
but
onely
they
wanted
a
foole
in
the
shew
.
Yet
the
two
Foxes
made
géese
of
all
them
that
came
to
behold
it
:
thus
their
monstrous
abuses
are
made
manifest
.
For
what
will
not
these
men
deale
in
for
gaine
,
that
set
price
of
the
weather
.
So
farre
hath
truth
ventured
to
vncap
the
Iesuits
,
the
all
may
plainely
discerne
a
bare-headed
cunning
knaue
.
I
would
wish
all
my
friends
and
countrimen
to
take
heed
of
their
company
,
for
their
Society
is
dangerous
,
&
their
snares
&
baits
are
many
;
their
religion
was
brought
in
by
Ignatius
,
but
it
shall
go
out
with
eternall
ignomy
,
when
the
Almighty
is
pleased
either
to
conuert
,
or
vtterly
roote
them
out
.
I
could
prosecute
their
polliticke
close
plots
further
,
and
shew
the
manner
of
their
hellish
Inquisition
,
common
,
&
priuate
Counsels
,
their
Libraries
,
and
confessions
,
but
so
much
hath
bene
heeretofore
written
,
therefore
I
will
not
enter
into
their
works
.
Let
him
that
sowes
reape
,
and
those
that
plant
eate
of
their
owne
fruite
.
As
for
this
I
protest
it
was
mine
owne
obseruation
,
which
I
haue
willingly
set
forth
,
for
the
good
of
my
louing
countrimen
.
To
speake
of
one
generall
point
briefly
,
I
hope
shall
neither
tyer
me
nor
weary
you
.
I
pray
you
obserue
it
.
In
the
Empire
of
Christendome
for
one
Protestant
there
are
tenne
Papists
,
and
it
were
〈◊〉
to
thinke
there
are
no
well
conditioned
people
amongst
them
,
this
I
dare
affirme
vpon
my
conscience
,
that
without
doubt
there
are
many
godly
men
and
woemen
,
truly
deuout
&
zealous
,
the
would
willingly
come
to
sée
the
cléere
shining
light
of
truth
,
but
these
men
of
darkenes
stand
betwéene
them
&
the
light
,
&
barre
the
truth
from
them
.
But
for
the
Iesuits
,
thus
I
censure
them
generally
vpon
my
conscience
,
that
of
a
hundreth
there
are
scarce
two
iust
dealing
men
.
For
breach
of
oathes
they
call
equiuocation
,
&
all
their
villanies
they
can
dispense
with
.
But
alas
their
ending
illusions
without
Gods
mercy
,
will
turne
to
their
endlesse
confusions
,
where
they
shall
curse
their
tutor
the
Deuill
,
for
instructing
them
in
these
and
many
more
their
deceitfull
and
pollitick
〈◊〉
.
Let
vs
giue
thanks
to
him
the
suffers
none
〈…〉
wolues
to
deuoure
his
chosen
Flock
heere
in
〈◊〉
.
And
lastly
you
iocond
Iesuits
,
that
strut
it
out
in
your
dissembling
holy
habits
,
look
to
it
,
I
haue
onely
discouered
your
bald
crownes
,
but
I
feare
me
,
if
you
come
masking
here
into
England
in
your
former
and
accustomed
disguises
,
the
excutioner
will
rip
vp
your
bloudy
breasts
,
and
discouer
your
treacherous
hearts
,
And
then
the
Popes
Bull
will
reare
at
T●●orne
.
Till
then
Farewell
.
FINIS
.
