A
true
relation
of
the
faction
begun
at
Wisbich
.
IN
the
yeare
1579.
M.
Saunders
was
dispatched
from
Rome
to
Ireland
:
and
not
long
after
the
Pope
sent
other
forces
thither
.
About
the
same
time
also
,
the
King
of
Spayne
intending
to
assayle
Portugall
,
vpon
the
death
of
King
Henry
the
late
Cardinall
,
prepared
an
Army
and
a
Nauy
(
as
it
was
pretended
)
for
England
.
And
to
countenance
the
same
,
he
procured
by
Cardinall
Alexandrino
his
meanes
,
the
renouation
of
the
Bull
published
by
Pius
quintus
against
her
Maiestie
:
and
printing
of
them
to
the
number
of
1500.
at
the
least
,
he
was
content
they
should
be
spread
abroad
.
Not
long
after
Father
Parsons
,
and
two
other
Iesuites
his
subiects
,
Father
Campion
and
Father
Cotham
,
came
into
England
with
such
a
noyse
,
as
mooued
great
expectation
in
some
,
and
diligent
caution
to
be
had
of
their
proceedings
by
others
.
These
things
hapning
thus
together
:
her
Maiestie
and
the
State
(
as
fearing
the
worst
)
disposed
of
the
affayres
in
the
Realme
accordingly
:
and
thought
it
conuenient
to
carry
a
hand
more
hardly
vpon
the
Catholicks
.
So
as
in
the
yeare
1580.
Doctor
Watson
Bishop
of
Lincolne
,
Doctor
Fecknam
Abbot
of
Westminster
,
Doctor
Young
,
maister
Metham
,
Doctor
Oxenbridge
,
and
maister
Bluet
,
were
sent
to
remayne
as
prisoners
in
the
Castle
of
Wisbich
,
where
they
liued
in
great
vnitie
and
brotherly
kindnes
:
euery
man
intermedling
only
with
his
owne
affayres
and
priuate
meditations
.
They
were
all
in
commons
with
the
keeper
:
and
for
their
recreation
,
had
a
Garden
there
to
walke
in
,
and
to
solace
themselues
as
they
thought
good
.
Such
money
as
was
sent
to
any
particular
man
he
had
himselfe
the
disposition
of
it
as
he
thought
it
conuement
,
that
which
came
for
the
common
vse
,
was
by
all
their
consents
deliuered
still
to
mayster
Bluet
,
who
diuided
the
same
to
euery
man
alike
.
There
was
then
no
affectation
of
superiority
,
but
euery
man
yeelded
of
his
owne
accord
that
duty
and
precedencie
which
to
euery
one
was
due
,
the
keeper
hauing
the
commaundement
ouer
them
all
.
Afterwards
within
about
three
yeares
,
eight
or
nine
Gentlemen
were
likewise
sent
to
remayne
there
as
prisoners
,
vpon
certayne
speeches
that
the
Duke
of
Guise
had
some
intendment
against
England
,
whereby
the
number
of
the
prisoners
increased
,
without
any
disturbance
at
all
to
the
foresayde
vnity
.
These
Gentlemen
liued
at
their
owne
charges
,
and
as
most
dutifull
children
demeaned
themselues
towards
their
fellow
prisoners
,
and
spirituall
fathers
.
If
at
any
time
some
little
indiscretion
hapned
in
any
,
a
word
(
especially
of
his
ghostly
father
)
was
more
then
sufficient
to
reforme
it
:
or
if
vpon
such
like
an
occasion
Bishop
Watson
were
mooued
to
reprooue
this
or
that
,
his
answere
was
,
What
?
are
we
not
fellow
prisoners
?
Are
we
not
at
the
commaundement
of
an
other
?
Shall
Iadde
affliction
to
one
that
is
afflicted
?
Are
we
men
who
professe
our selues
to
be
examples
to
others
in
suffering
for
our
consciences
,
and
shall
we
not
be
thought
then
able
without
controllers
to
gouerne
our selues
?
Be
content
:
I
will
not
take
vpon
me
to
reprooue
my
fellow
prisoners
.
And
indeed
this
was
the
course
that
euery
man
held
:
so
as
by
submitting
themselues
one
to
an
other
,
euery
man
had
a
commaunding
power
one
ouer
an
other
,
such
was
the
most
christian
and
brotherly
affection
amongst
them
.
In
this
sort
they
liued
till
all
were
either
dead
or
gone
,
but
maister
Metham
and
maister
Bluet
,
which
was
for
the
space
of
about
sixe
or
seauen
yeares
.
Afterwards
(
vpon
new
attempts
by
Babington
and
his
associates
against
her
Maiestie
,
and
by
reason
of
the
rumours
of
the
King
of
Spaines
preparations
)
aboue
thirtie
priests
that
were
prisoners
elsewhere
,
were
in
the
yeare
1587
(
as
we
remember
)
sent
likewise
to
Wisbich
.
In
which
number
was
maister
Edmonds
,
alias
Weston
,
a
Iesuite
:
a
man
,
who
after
Heywoods
departure
out
of
England
,
was
sent
hither
by
Parsons
from
Paris
to
bee
his
substitute
,
or
Prouinciall
:
Vpon
whose
apprehension
maister
Walley
,
alias
Garnet
,
by
order
from
Fa.
Parsons
,
did
succede
him
in
that
office
.
This
company
had
scarsely
consorted
themselues
with
maister
Metham
and
maister
Bluet
by
the
space
of
a
weeke
,
but
Fa.
Weston
(
hauing
in
him
the
reliques
of
his
late
prouincialitie
)
began
to
cast
about
how
he
might
aduance
himselfe
aboue
his
brethren
.
To
which
effect
,
entring
amongst
his
best
acquaintance
into
a
great
commendation
of
discipline
,
he
offred
to
their
considerations
a
very
simple
man
one
maister
Dry-land
(
a
Seminary
priest
,
and
his
ghostly
father
)
for
a
fit
person
,
to
take
vpon
him
the
direction
and
ouersight
of
the
whole
companie
:
adding
,
that
if
they
thought
that
there
were
any
thing
in
him
(
the
sayd
Weston
)
worthy
the
reckening
of
,
he
would
imploy
the
same
at
their
commaundement
to
the
assisting
and
directing
of
him
the
sayd
Dryland
for
the
full
supplying
of
any
defects
in
him
.
This
motion
finding
little
successe
,
it
being
very
absurd
to
make
choyse
of
a
head
,
that
must
borrow
his
discretion
and
directions
of
an
other
(
as
at
this
day
our
Arch-priest
Blackwell
doth
of
Fa.
Garnet
the
Iesuite
)
he
the
sayd
Weston
gaue
it
ouer
for
about
three
weekes
.
And
then
he
began
againe
(
though
in
a
more
generall
sort
)
to
insist
very
grauely
vpon
his
sayd
pretended
discipline
:
ayming
with
all
his
skill
at
his
owne
particular
preferment
:
for
thus
the
case
stood
.
Maister
Bluet
(
being
a
man
that
had
bin
chiefely
imployed
in
the
affaires
of
that
house
)
was
iunior
to
maister
Metham
:
and
he
the
sayd
maister
Metham
(
hauing
more
lately
entred
into
the
society
of
the
Iesuits
then
maister
Weston
)
was
thereby
(
notwithstanding
that
otherwise
he
was
farre
his
auncient
)
yet
his
inferior
according
to
the
rules
of
that
calling
.
Now
one
of
these
three
(
if
there
should
haue
bin
a
gouernour
chosen
)
being
supposed
to
be
the
fittest
amongst
all
the
rest
for
such
a
place
:
maister
Weston
gessed
,
that
in
that
choyse
they
would
haue
omitted
maister
Bluet
in
respect
of
maister
Metham
;
and
him
the
sayd
maister
Metham
in
regard
of
himselfe
,
and
that
so
they
should
haue
bin
driuen
to
haue
chosen
him
the
sayd
Weston
.
But
it
fell
out
otherwise
:
for
in
their
consultation
it
was
thought
that
maister
Bluet
,
by
reason
of
his
long
experience
in
that
house
,
and
of
his
acquaintance
in
that
towne
,
together
with
the
generall
knowledge
had
of
him
with
all
Catholicks
in
England
,
in
respect
of
his
long
dealings
with
the
common
money
,
could
in
no
sort
be
omitted
:
So
as
they
concluded
,
that
if
they
must
be
driuen
to
haue
any
such
gouernment
ouer
them
,
it
was
most
expedient
to
choose
them
all
three
.
Whereupon
maister
Weston
perceiuing
that
he
could
not
get
the
whole
regiment
to
himselfe
,
gaue
that
attempt
ouer
:
vnder
pretence
,
that
he
being
a
Iesuite
,
was
forbidden
by
the
rules
of
his
order
,
and
others
his
superiors
,
to
meddle
in
matters
of
gouernment
.
But
it
is
here
to
be
obserued
:
that
the
Iesuites
long
before
this
time
,
hauing
gotten
the
regiment
of
the
English
Seminary
at
Rome
:
our
countriemen
of
that
order
no
sooner
came
into
England
,
but
presently
(
as
the
sequele
declared
)
they
began
to
lay
their
plots
how
they
might
bring
the
secular
priests
heads
vnder
their
girdles
.
For
notwithstanding
their
said
rule
(
of
not
intermedling
with
gouernment
)
mentioned
by
Fa.
Weston
,
they
haue
so
many
wayes
to
qualify
it
,
as
indeed
it
is
but
a
mask
to
couer
their
sleights
with
,
till
opportunitie
doth
serue
them
.
Whereof
Fa.
Weston
hauing
sufficient
intelligence
and
skill
,
did
not
from
time
to
time
(
almost
by
the
space
of
seauen
yeares
)
omit
to
put
the
same
in
practise
.
He
laboured
,
as
cunningly
as
he
could
,
to
creepe
into
the
fauour
of
the
yonger
sort
.
When
strangers
came
,
it
should
escape
him
narrowly
,
but
he
would
be
the
first
that
should
bid
them
welcome
:
and
no
friendship
could
be
held
with
him
,
except
he
might
make
the
collation
at
such
times
vsuall
.
In
which
collations
he
would
seldome
omit
to
insist
vpon
the
commendation
of
order
and
discipline
:
which
being
things
in
themselues
of
great
worth
,
he
was
still
therein
to
them
that
vnderstood
him
not
very
plausible
.
Being
a
man
as
impatient
as
some
of
his
fellowes
,
and
of
as
haughty
a
spirit
as
any
man
can
be
:
it
was
wonderfull
to
consider
,
what
humblenes
and
simplicitie
he
would
pretend
.
His
sighs
and
zeale
seemed
to
be
extra
ordinary
:
as
though
the
perfection
of
true
mortification
had
bin
the
only
thing
he
aymed
at
.
Marry
,
with
all
this
hypocrisie
he
deceiued
none
,
but
such
as
did
not
looke
more
narrowly
into
his
proceedings
:
a
righter
Pharisee
cannot
easily
be
found
.
In
the
middest
of
his
humilitie
nothing
troubled
him
more
,
then
that
maister
Doct.
Bagshaw
(
being
a
Doctor
of
Diuinitie
)
should
haue
place
before
him
at
the
table
:
insomuch
as
the
better
to
content
him
,
we
were
driuen
to
place
him
at
the
tables
end
with
him
.
The
Iesuites
abroad
hauing
gotten
the
greatest
part
of
contribution
for
prisoners
into
their
hands
,
much
was
sent
to
be
distributed
,
by
this
good
father
:
wherewith
(
through
his
vnequall
distribution
of
it
)
he
laboured
nothing
more
,
then
how
he
might
draw
,
and
binde
men
vnto
him
,
to
make
his
side
and
faction
strong
inough
against
the
time
,
he
had
occasion
to
vse
them
.
These
&
many
other
such
his
vnder-hand
practises
being
well
discerned
by
maister
Metham
and
others
,
he
the
sayd
maister
Metham
was
very
much
mooued
,
and
did
greatly
lament
the
same
.
This
maister
Metham
was
a
vertuous
learned
Priest
,
who
when
he
was
prisoner
in
the
Tower
vowed
to
become
a
Iesuite
;
as
admiring
that
calling
,
because
he
was
not
acquainted
with
their
courses
:
but
afterwards
at
his
being
in
Wisbich
,
he
found
by
wofull
experience
that
all
was
not
gold
that
glistered
.
Sundry
times
he
hath
sayd
to
some
of
our
company
,
not
without
teares
in
his
eyes
,
Keepe
this
fellow
downe
asmuch
as
you
can
,
meaning
Fa.
Weston
:
by
labouring
to
be
popular
,
he
becommeth
the
ringleader
of
all
mutinies
in
the
house
,
which
in
time
will
breede
faction
against
you
.
This
house
will
come
to
vtter
shame
through
his
folly
.
I
pray
God
that
I
dye
before
it
commeth
to
passe
,
for
I
do
foresee
such
a
mischiefe
.
Thus
maister
Metham
.
Cardinall
Alane
,
when
the
Iesuites
first
came
into
England
,
told
sundry
of
his
friends
,
that
certainely
they
(
the
said
Iesuites
)
would
rayse
great
garboyles
in
this
countrey
,
by
seeking
to
disgrace
secular
priests
,
and
to
aduance
themselues
aboue
them
.
He
had
great
experience
of
the
ambition
which
raigned
in
many
of
that
societie
,
and
therefore
indeuoured
(
as
he
might
conueniently
)
to
represse
that
humor
in
our
English
Iesuites
,
which
kept
them
within
some
reasonable
compasse
whilest
he
liued
.
But
afterwards
they
heard
no
sooner
of
his
death
,
and
shortly
after
of
the
death
of
Doctor
Lewys
Bishop
of
Cassane
(
of
whome
they
stood
in
some
feare
,
suspecting
he
should
haue
bin
made
Cardinall
in
the
others
place
)
but
their
insolencie
burst
foorth
as
a
flame
that
had
bin
long
suppressed
.
They
depraued
both
those
worthy
persons
now
dead
very
slaunderously
,
charging
the
Cardinall
to
haue
bin
but
a
simple
man
,
and
of
no
great
worth
;
and
the
Bishop
to
haue
bin
a
factious
person
in
Rome
:
and
all
this
(
forsooth
)
because
sometimes
they
both
had
crossed
sundry
of
their
lewd
attempts
.
Fa.
Weston
at
Wisbich
(
as
a
man
who
had
long
trauailed
with
his
imaginary
discipline
)
hearing
of
these
mens
deaths
,
and
being
as
he
thought
,
backed
sufficiently
by
his
confederates
,
began
to
bring
forth
the
fruits
thereof
.
He
lifted
vp
his
countenan e
,
as
if
a
new
spirit
had
bin
put
into
him
,
and
tooke
vpon
him
to
controll
,
and
finde
fault
with
this
and
that
:
(
as
the
comming
into
the
Hall
of
a
Hobby-horse
in
Christmas
)
affirming
that
he
would
no
longer
tolerate
these
and
those
so
grosse
abuses
,
but
would
haue
them
reformed
.
At
this
his
pride
and
vanitie
some
of
vs
greatly
maruayled
,
but
the
reason
thereof
(
which
we
then
knew
not
)
was
this
.
We
were
then
prisoners
in
the
house
to
the
number
of
34.
whereof
by
his
foresayd
practises
he
had
allured
vnto
him
19.
who
by
his
direction
had
chosen
him
to
be
their
head
,
and
giuen
him
the
name
of
their
Agent
.
Whereupon
this
grand
senior
thus
promoted
,
withdrew
himselfe
to
his
chamber
by
the
space
of
a
fortnight
,
of
purpose
(
as
we
afterwards
perceiued
)
to
rowze
himselfe
,
and
to
deuise
some
such
new
orders
and
lawes
,
as
he
thought
most
conuenient
for
the
gouernment
of
his
subiects
,
which
being
resolued
vpon
by
him
,
he
did
dedicate
them
vpon
Candlemas
day
to
the
blessed
Virgin
,
as
himselfe
afterwards
confessed
.
You
must
vnderstand
,
that
he
did
not
proceede
thus
farre
,
without
Fa.
Garnets
priuity
and
consent
.
Howbeit
,
his
sayd
subiects
being
ignorant
thereof
,
they
poore
fooles
must
needs
write
a
letter
to
his
fatherhood
,
to
craue
his
approbation
of
their
sayd
election
.
Besides
,
Fa.
Weston
had
to
practised
vnder
hand
with
some
of
his
sayd
19.
subiects
,
as
this
his
new
preferment
must
be
obtruded
vpon
him
,
whether
he
would
forsooth
or
not
.
And
accordingly
the
sayd
letter
was
framed
:
signifying
to
maister
Garnet
,
that
he
the
sayd
maister
Weston
was
as
a
man
taken
with
the
palsey
of
the
mind
,
and
would
in
no
wise
accept
of
their
election
,
except
that
he
by
his
commaunding
authoritie
,
would
bid
him
rise
vp
and
walke
before
them
in
the
way
of
the
righteous
.
With
this
letter
they
sent
also
the
sayd
lawes
or
rules
,
being
in
number
22.
where
of
some
of
them
were
ridiculous
,
and
some
of
them
very
scandalous
.
These
things
(
as
we
coniecture
,
for
the
distinct
times
were
kept
close
from
vs
)
being
sent
to
Fa.
Garnet
;
the
new
Agent
after
he
had
withdrawne
himselfe
from
the
rest
of
the
company
by
the
space
of
a
fortnight
,
directed
maister
Southworth
a
Priest
,
and
our
fellow-prisoner
vnto
maister
Bluet
,
to
signifie
vnto
him
,
that
Fa.
Weston
desired
him
to
allot
to
him
,
and
to
his
company
being
19.
the
high
table
in
the
Hall
:
and
that
leauing
the
ordinary
Kitchin
to
them
,
he
the
sayd
maister
Bluet
,
with
the
rest
(
but
twelue
in
number
)
would
be
content
to
prouide
themselues
of
another
.
What
meane
you
by
this
message
,
quoth
maister
Bluet
?
Cannot
the
Hall
and
Kitchin
serue
vs
all
now
,
as
heretofore
they
haue
done
?
No
,
sayth
maister
Southworth
,
we
are
determined
(
20.
of
vs
)
to
draw
our selues
into
a
more
strict
order
of
life
:
and
haue
therefore
resolued
to
keepe
commons
together
amongst
our selues
,
thereby
the
better
to
auoyd
such
sinnes
,
as
whoredome
,
drunkennes
,
and
dieing
,
the
same
being
too
ordinarie
with
some
in
this
house
.
What
,
quoth
maister
Bluet
:
hath
Fa.
Weston
sent
you
vnto
me
with
this
message
?
and
he
answering
,
yea
:
He
the
sayd
maister
Bluet
went
to
Fa.
Weston
,
who
iustified
the
sayd
message
:
sauing
that
he
qualified
the
mentioning
of
the
sayd
crimes
with
humme
and
hah
:
saying
at
the
last
(
as
though
butter
would
not
haue
melted
in
his
mouth
)
indeed
we
reuerence
you
,
and
maister
Doct.
Bagshaw
:
but
amongst
the
rest
,
there
are
some
enormities
,
which
we
would
be
glad
to
auoyd
:
and
do
therefore
purpose
to
impose
vpon
our selues
a
more
strict
order
,
leauing
you
and
others
,
to
follow
such
courses
,
as
you
shall
thinke
good
.
With
this
his
answere
,
maister
Bluet
being
somewhat
moued
:
Haue
you
kept
your
chamber
(
sayth
he
)
all
this
while
,
for
this
?
Shall
we
haue
a
new
Donatus
amongst
vs
,
to
reuiue
againe
that
pestilent
schisme
?
Can
you
name
any
in
the
house
,
worse
then
your selues
?
Well
,
well
:
I
pray
you
leaue
this
course
:
it
is
naught
.
Be
content
to
eate
and
drinke
with
vs
still
:
for
,
assure
your selfe
,
we
will
neuer
yeeld
,
that
you
should
haue
any
seuerall
roomes
graunted
vnto
you
;
thereby
to
seuer
your selues
from
vs
.
And
so
after
many
other
speeches
,
for
that
time
they
parted
.
When
maister
Bluet
had
imparted
vnto
vs
the
sayd
message
,
and
his
sayd
discourse
with
Fa.
Weston
,
it
did
very
much
grieue
vs
all
,
as
foreseeing
what
publick
scandale
it
would
grow
vnto
:
and
therefore
diuers
of
vs
dealt
with
them
particularly
,
that
they
would
desist
from
that
their
purpose
,
and
be
content
that
we
might
liue
together
still
,
like
prisoners
,
and
louing
brethren
,
as
we
haue
done
before
.
But
all
was
in
vaine
:
they
inlarged
their
calumniation
and
slauders
of
vs
,
and
began
to
spread
the
same
abroad
to
our
great
discredits
:
and
would
in
no
wise
be
stayed
from
the
course
they
had
begun
.
Howbeit
,
we
hindered
as
long
as
we
could
their
publick
separation
from
vs
,
by
keeping
our
old
places
,
some
of
vs
,
at
euery
table
:
so
as
they
could
not
choose
,
except
they
would
haue
forborne
their
dinners
and
suppers
,
but
that
they
must
needs
sit
amongst
vs
.
Whereupon
Fa.
Weston
sent
the
sayd
Southworth
to
our
keeper
,
with
the
like
message
in
effect
to
the
former
,
concerning
their
intent
(
for
the
auoyding
of
sinne
)
to
keepe
commons
by
themselues
,
apart
from
the
rest
:
and
therefore
to
intreate
him
,
that
they
might
haue
a
roome
assigned
them
,
to
make
a
Kitchin
of
,
and
some
other
places
meete
and
conuenient
for
them
;
offering
him
some
large
consideration
for
his
good
will
therein
.
But
he
consulting
with
some
of
the
grauer
sort
,
disliked
their
attempt
:
and
reiecting
their
suite
,
commaunded
them
to
continue
in
peace
and
quietnes
,
as
the
State
had
appointed
,
and
as
he
found
them
,
at
his
first
comming
to
be
their
keeper
:
vnlesse
they
could
shew
vnto
him
against
the
rest
,
some
capitall
crimes
which
might
warrant
him
to
graunt
their
separation
:
for
(
sayd
he
)
I
am
a
Iustice
of
peace
,
qualifyed
to
take
notice
of
such
crimes
.
To
whom
maister
Southworth
answered
:
that
in
this
case
,
the
Queene
could
not
make
him
a
competent
iudge
:
and
that
the
crymes
were
such
and
so
great
,
as
in
conscience
they
could
not
keepe
company
with
vs
.
Why
(
sayd
maister
Medlye
)
what
crymes
are
those
so
horrible
,
that
the
Queenes
authority
cannot
reach
to
take
knowledge
of
?
Maister
Bluet
can
tell
you
(
sayth
maister
Southworth
)
for
I
haue
signifyed
them
vnto
him
.
Very
well
quoth
maister
Bluet
:
I
see
the
old
prouerb
verified
now
in
you
:
An
English
man
Italionate
,
is
a
Diuell
incarnate
.
If
you
told
me
the
causes
why
Weston
and
you
do
attempt
to
make
this
schisme
and
diuision
in
the
house
,
why
may
not
your
slaundering
toong
vtter
the
same
to
maister
Medlye
our
keeper
?
Must
I
be
your
Bedle
to
proclayme
your
lyes
?
But
maister
Medly
,
this
Italionated
company
on
hath
this
craft
in
his
budget
:
if
I
should
now
relate
vnto
you
what
he
hath
told
me
of
this
matter
,
then
would
he
being
meerely
Iesuited
,
deny
it
,
and
so
turne
the
blame
vpon
me
,
that
I
telling
it
you
publickly
,
do
slaunder
the
house
,
and
not
he
,
nor
his
fellowes
,
that
told
it
but
secretly
.
Vpon
this
,
and
such
like
communication
,
maister
Medlye
fell
to
the
commendation
of
the
quiet
behauior
of
those
prisoners
,
which
were
first
sent
to
Wisbich
:
saying
,
that
it
was
nothing
,
but
the
turbulent
spirits
,
and
humour
of
youth
,
that
wanting
due
wisdome
,
discretion
,
and
grauitie
,
thrust
them
into
these
noueltyes
.
Much
iangling
they
kept
both
at
this
time
and
afterwards
for
seuerall
roomes
:
but
fayling
of
their
desire
therein
,
they
grew
to
a
great
dislike
with
the
keeper
:
and
to
be
reuenged
vpon
him
,
procured
in
short
time
two
Priests
to
escape
from
him
out
of
prison
,
which
they
knew
would
grieue
him
much
.
Besides
,
the
ordinary
Chappell
belonging
to
the
Bishop
of
Ely
,
lying
fitly
by
them
,
they
aduentured
of
themselues
to
dedicate
the
same
to
Bacchus
for
their
Buttery
:
and
entertayning
an
other
Brewer
(
one
Palmer
)
laid
such
Beere
in
it
as
they
thought
meete
.
It
is
not
almost
credible
what
brablings
were
about
these
matters
:
and
with
what
malice
and
impietie
they
did
also
prosecute
vs
,
by
seeking
to
blemish
our
good
names
,
as
though
they
had
quite
forgot
that
we
were
Catholick
Priests
,
and
their
fellow
prisoners
.
The
common
enemy
could
not
haue
vsed
vs
much
more
despitefully
.
By
this
time
Fa.
Garnet
hauing
perused
the
sayd
rules
and
letter
,
returned
his
approbation
of
them
in
a
generall
letter
to
that
company
,
and
alluding
to
a
point
mentioned
in
their
letter
to
him
,
commaunded
his
subiect
Fa.
Weston
as
an
hypocriticall
paralytick
,
to
take
vp
his
bed
and
walke
:
that
is
,
he
gaue
him
leaue
to
accept
of
the
Agency
,
imposed
forsooth
by
them
vpon
him
:
but
vnder-hand
sent
to
Fa.
Weston
himselfe
a
priuate
letter
;
wherein
he
admonished
him
in
any
sort
so
to
take
vpon
him
that
his
new
Prelacy
,
as
both
his
the
layd
fathers
name
for
auoyding
of
enuy
might
be
concealed
:
and
that
it
might
seeme
to
proceede
wholy
,
from
the
importunity
of
those
that
had
chosen
him
.
All
these
particulars
were
at
this
time
vnknowne
vnto
vs
:
they
played
fast
and
loose
in
corners
(
as
you
see
)
buying
and
selling
of
vs
(
as
honest
men
as
themselues
)
at
their
pleasures
.
Whilest
they
were
thus
in
this
garboyle
with
vs
,
animated
therein
by
Fa.
Garnet
:
it
hapned
that
maister
Dolman
(
a
graue
Priest
)
came
to
Wisbich
,
with
some
contribution
for
the
whole
company
:
who
perceiuing
and
lamenting
what
a
breach
he
found
of
our
auncient
vnity
,
did
endeuor
for
the
space
almost
of
a
weeke
,
to
haue
reduced
vs
thereunto
againe
,
being
earnestly
desired
by
vs
all
so
to
do
.
At
this
his
being
there
,
maister
Southworth
drew
him
with
importunitie
into
his
chamber
,
and
did
shew
vnto
him
their
foresayd
letter
,
and
rules
,
which
they
had
sent
to
Fa.
Garnet
,
entring
into
a
long
discourse
with
him
,
concerning
their
purpose
,
to
separate
themselues
from
vs
.
Whereunto
maister
Dolman
aunswering
,
that
in
so
doing
,
they
would
assuredly
be
the
occasion
of
great
scandale
:
he
replyed
,
that
their
company
were
resolute
to
go
through
with
it
.
We
had
heard
before
of
the
sayd
letter
and
rules
sent
to
Fa.
Garnet
:
but
(
as
we
then
told
M.
Dolman
)
we
could
neuer
come
to
the
sight
of
them
:
and
therefore
we
desired
him
to
be
a
meanes
,
that
we
might
haue
the
perusing
of
them
.
Whereunto
he
did
very
willingly
yeeld
;
as
thinking
our
motion
therein
very
reasonable
:
and
thereupon
going
to
maister
Southworth
,
he
so
preuayled
with
him
,
as
that
he
the
sayd
maister
Dolman
brought
them
vnto
vs
:
which
when
we
had
read
,
we
were
much
perplexed
,
finding
our
credits
to
be
greatly
touched
by
them
.
Howbeit
,
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
in
a
very
mild
and
charitable
sort
,
did
then
desire
maister
Dolman
,
that
by
his
mediation
he
might
haue
conference
with
Fa.
Weston
:
promising
,
that
he
would
be
a
meanes
,
that
this
controuersie
should
be
ended
to
his
honor
&
credit
,
and
to
a
further
increase
of
amity
and
charity
,
then
euer
there
had
bin
for
a
long
time
amongst
vs
.
Maister
Dolman
being
a
glad
man
to
heare
so
much
from
him
,
dealt
with
Fa.
Weston
accordingly
:
whome
he
found
so
stiffe
,
as
he
could
by
no
meanes
perswade
him
to
admit
of
that
godly
offer
:
notwithstanding
it
was
made
vnto
him
thrice
;
and
so
oft
pressed
by
him
the
sayd
Dolman
.
Whereby
maister
Dolman
gathered
,
that
Fa.
Weston
had
receiued
some
commaundement
from
maister
Garnet
,
to
take
vpon
him
his
sayd
Agency
:
and
for
the
better
contenting
of
Doctor
Bagshaw
and
his
friends
(
being
somewhat
moued
,
that
maister
Weston
had
so
oft
refused
conference
)
told
them
so
much
:
adding
,
that
he
thought
maister
Weston
his
sayd
refusall
to
be
thereupon
grounded
:
it
being
vnlawfull
for
him
to
reiect
,
or
call
into
question
that
,
which
his
Prouinciall
had
imposed
vpon
him
.
But
afterwards
he
the
sayd
maister
Dolman
imparting
to
maister
Weston
what
he
had
sayd
to
Doctor
Bagshaw
and
his
friends
,
maister
Weston
flatly
denyed
that
he
had
receyued
from
maister
Garnet
any
such
approbation
or
commaundement
,
either
by
letter
,
or
otherwise
.
With
which
his
aunswere
,
maister
Dolman
acquainting
vs
,
we
did
the
more
maruaile
why
he
disdayned
the
sayd
offer
of
conference
.
Howbeit
,
seeing
their
courses
,
we
sayd
that
we
would
not
impeach
any
order
,
which
they
themselues
thought
meete
to
liue
vnder
:
only
we
desired
to
liue
in
commons
together
with
them
,
that
the
world
might
not
take
notice
of
any
such
schisme
amongst
vs
:
but
this
was
reiected
.
Whereupon
maister
Dolman
demaunded
of
Fa.
Weston
whether
they
meant
to
keepe
any
more
strict
or
large
dyet
by
themselues
,
then
the
rest
?
who
answered
,
that
they
did
not
.
Why
then
(
quoth
he
)
haue
you
taken
another
Brewer
?
Maister
Weston
aunswered
:
it
was
,
for
that
he
brewed
better
Beere
then
the
other
.
Vpon
occasion
of
these
speeches
betwixt
them
,
maister
Dolman
told
him
,
that
by
reason
of
the
choyse
of
the
sayd
new
Bruer
,
the
Townesmen
began
to
talke
at
large
of
their
great
breach
in
the
Castle
:
and
further
sayd
,
that
some
scandale
was
already
growne
,
by
appointing
the
said
Chappell
for
their
Buttery
.
To
which
last
point
maister
Weston
replying
,
aunswered
:
that
he
thought
(
as
the
case
stood
now
in
England
)
they
might
vse
things
heere
as
they
found
them
:
which
words
of
his
gaue
maister
Dolman
occasion
to
shew
the
contrary
,
both
out
of
S.
Thomas
,
and
out
of
Nauarre
,
in
his
Commentaries
De
spolijs
.
It
were
too
long
to
set
downe
what
then
passed
amongst
vs
,
at
this
time
of
maister
Dolmans
being
with
vs
:
but
he
perceiued
such
opposition
to
his
godly
motions
,
as
that
he
desired
to
haue
some
ioyned
with
him
:
and
that
he
might
then
depart
,
and
returne
with
his
Colleague
,
named
by
them
one
Doctor
Bauin
,
a
fortnight
after
Easter
.
Hereunto
we
all
willingly
yeelded
:
and
so
after
sixe
dayes
trauayle
amongst
vs
,
he
bade
vs
farewell
.
But
consider
now
a
Iesuiticall
trick
that
hapned
.
As
maister
Dolman
was
going
to
horseback
,
maister
Southworth
met
him
in
the
Porters
lodge
,
and
told
him
with
great
vehemencie
of
spirit
,
that
Fa.
Weston
had
greatly
abused
both
him
the
sayd
maister
Dolman
,
and
the
whole
company
:
in
that
he
had
receiued
a
fortnight
before
a
letter
from
Fa.
Garnet
in
approbation
of
their
choyse
to
haue
him
for
their
Agent
:
and
had
kept
the
same
in
his
hands
so
long
,
without
making
his
company
acquainted
with
it
:
which
he
tearmed
to
be
double
dealing
,
as
indeed
it
was
in
them
both
.
But
maister
Southworth
pretending
his
great
discontentment
in
that
respect
,
perswaded
maister
Dolman
to
returne
back
to
maister
Weston
,
and
then
hearing
the
sayd
letter
read
,
and
perceiuing
that
it
was
ambiguously
written
,
so
as
the
time
did
not
serue
him
to
enter
into
any
discourse
of
it
(
hauing
a
great
iourney
that
night
)
he
departed
,
without
making
any
of
vs
acquainted
with
the
sayd
letter
:
much
meruailing
(
as
since
he
hath
confessed
)
to
finde
so
grosse
a
falshood
in
maister
Weston
.
In
the
meane
time
that
we
were
in
expectation
of
maister
Dolmans
returne
with
his
Colleague
,
it
was
a
world
to
heare
the
people
,
that
before
had
honored
and
admired
vs
,
so
long
as
we
kept
vnity
and
integrity
,
how
they
changed
their
opinions
of
vs
,
especially
of
the
Iesuites
,
tearming
them
in
all
ordinary
assemblies
,
prowde
,
ambitious
,
and
vndicatiue
persons
:
perturbers
of
states
,
countries
,
and
common-wealths
.
What
would
these
men
do
(
say
they
)
if
they
had
all
in
their
hands
:
that
being
in
a
Gaole
,
dare
take
vpon
them
to
rayse
vp
such
tumults
and
garboyles
?
Certaine
good
men
relating
these
things
to
maister
Weston
,
desired
him
humbly
vpon
their
knees
,
to
consider
what
scandale
he
gaue
to
the
world
,
and
how
God
and
his
truth
were
much
blasphemed
by
this
dissention
:
but
he
,
with
great
contempt
and
irrision
aunswered
,
that
he
waighed
not
any
mans
iudgement
:
let
them
alone
(
sayth
he
)
caeci
sunt
&
duces
caecorum
:
if
it
be
a
scandall
,
it
is
scandalum
per
accidens
,
which
I
care
not
for
:
this
matter
is
gone
further
then
may
be
controlled
by
man
:
you
shall
see
it
with
hands
and
seales
confirmed
,
ere
it
be
long
.
With
this
fathers
obstinacy
many
were
discontented
:
and
maister
Bluet
did
thereupon
thinke
it
conuenient
to
write
to
maister
Perpoint
,
and
to
desire
him
(
hauing
bin
a
prisoner
before
at
Wisbich
)
to
moue
maister
Weston
by
his
letter
to
some
better
quietnes
.
But
the
sayd
maister
Perpoint
being
now
altogether
Iesuited
(
which
maister
Bluet
knew
not
of
)
shewed
his
letter
to
Fa.
Garnet
,
who
taking
it
in
euill
part
,
writ
himselfe
thereof
to
Fa.
Weston
,
aduising
him
,
that
seeing
maister
Bluet
had
begun
to
write
abroad
of
the
affayres
in
that
place
,
they
should
not
now
spare
either
him
or
any
of
the
rest
,
to
requite
them
with
the
like
.
So
as
thereupon
maister
Weston
stirred
vp
a
young
Priest
very
well
learned
,
to
write
a
bitter
,
rayling
,
and
an
vnghostly
letter
to
a
Gentleman
in
London
(
a
lay
brother
of
that
society
)
against
Doctor
Bagshaw
and
maister
Bluet
:
to
the
intent
that
the
sayd
lay
brother
(
being
well
esteemed
amongst
all
the
chiefest
Catholicks
)
should
blaze
and
spread
the
same
abroad
,
to
their
exceeding
discredits
.
But
Doctor
Farbeck
being
about
that
time
in
London
,
and
knew
very
well
the
affayres
then
at
Wisbich
:
vpon
the
sight
of
this
letter
by
a
Noble
man
,
dealt
very
roundly
with
the
sayd
lay
Iesuite
,
for
the
indignity
and
vnchristian
dealing
offered
to
those
two
persons
secretly
behinde
their
backs
,
where
they
could
not
defend
their
innocencie
.
He
did
at
that
time
after
a
sort
,
satisfye
the
Gentleman
so
farre
forth
,
as
the
spirit
of
that
generation
will
be
qualified
in
such
a
matter
:
and
besides
so
informed
the
Nobleman
of
such
things
as
he
knew
,
as
that
he
was
pleased
with
some
disdaine
to
teare
the
letter
in
pieces
.
But
the
poore
Priest
that
was
vrged
against
his
conscience
to
write
it
,
being
admonished
thereof
,
fell
out
of
his
wits
,
and
threatned
to
kill
those
that
set
him
on
worke
:
whereby
they
were
driuen
to
intreate
their
keeper
to
shut
him
vp
in
a
close
chamber
,
where
he
remayned
a
tweluemoneth
,
and
confessing
willingly
,
that
for
abusing
his
penne
against
innocents
,
he
was
thus
tormented
:
he
asked
the
sayd
parties
forgiuenes
.
You
haue
heard
peraduenture
of
a
Machiuilian
maxime
:
detrahe
audacter
,
aliquid
adhaerebit
:
and
here
you
haue
seene
the
practise
of
it
.
Maister
Doleman
(
as
you
haue
heard
before
)
being
departed
from
vs
,
hath
reported
vpon
occasion
,
how
carefully
he
imployed
himselfe
on
our
behalfe
.
I
met
(
sayth
he
)
with
a
deere
friend
to
you
all
:
a
man
well
knowne
to
be
excellently
well
learned
in
both
lawes
,
and
for
his
vertuous
wisdome
and
other
singular
good
parts
in
him
well
beloued
,
and
greatly
esteemed
of
all
that
know
him
.
I
meane
Doctor
Windam
:
vnto
whom
,
I
opened
plainly
and
sincerely
the
whole
matter
,
and
craued
it
earnestly
at
his
hands
,
that
he
would
take
some
paynes
therein
,
and
for
the
loue
he
bare
the
generall
cause
,
the
especiall
affection
he
had
to
your
company
,
which
I
know
is
as
great
as
he
can
giue
and
you
desire
,
and
for
the
old
acquaintance
and
loue
,
that
was
between
vs
beyond
the
seas
,
he
would
aduise
and
instruct
me
what
to
deliuer
vnto
you
.
How
much
he
lamented
this
controuersie
amongst
you
,
I
am
not
able
to
expresse
.
After
three
dayes
aduisement
,
he
told
me
,
for
any
that
liued
together
as
you
do
(
presupposing
he
vnderstood
your
state
very
well
)
to
diuide
themselues
from
the
boord
,
from
the
rest
of
the
company
(
things
so
standing
as
they
do
now
)
though
their
purpose
were
right
good
,
was
both
against
charitie
and
pollicie
.
Whereupon
hearing
his
great
mislike
,
I
made
some
hastie
returne
,
and
let
Fa.
Weston
,
with
some
of
his
company
,
vnderstand
his
resolution
,
with
mine
owne
therein
.
Thus
farre
maister
Dolman
.
This
his
returne
was
within
tenne
dayes
after
his
departure
,
and
before
the
time
limited
to
him
and
his
Colleague
to
deale
in
our
causes
.
Vpon
which
his
sayd
speeches
and
communication
with
Fa.
Weston
concerning
Doctor
Windams
opinion
:
Would
God
(
sayd
maister
Weston
)
with
most
earnest
affection
(
as
it
seemed
)
that
you
maister
Dolman
were
as
well
able
to
perswade
the
rest
,
as
you
haue
done
me
.
For
mine
own
part
,
I
mind
to
giue
ouer
and
meddle
no
further
,
but
to
commend
the
cause
wholy
to
God
:
assuring
you
,
if
I
could
do
the
least
of
this
house
good
for
his
soules
health
,
by
laying
my
head
vnder
his
feete
,
I
would
most
willingly
do
it
.
I
pray
you
talke
with
some
of
our
company
,
and
see
whether
you
can
perswade
them
.
And
thus
farre
this
dissembling
Iesuite
(
by
maister
Dolmans
report
)
very
well
putting
Father
Garnets
aduise
in
practise
,
so
to
enter
into
his
course
of
gouernment
,
as
that
it
might
be
thought
to
be
imposed
vpon
him
in
effect
against
his
will
.
But
how
found
maister
Dolman
this
Agents
subiects
?
Fa.
Weston
could
haue
told
him
,
like
a
crafty
company
on
,
if
he
had
list
to
haue
saued
the
poore
old
mans
labour
.
For
he
no
sooner
moued
them
to
reunite
themselues
,
but
they
startled
thereat
,
and
sayd
,
they
were
still
resolute
to
proceede
in
the
course
which
they
had
vndertaken
:
and
would
heare
nothing
to
the
contrary
.
At
this
time
(
as
we
remember
)
of
maister
Dolmans
being
at
Wisbich
,
maister
Bluet
entred
into
speech
with
maister
Weston
in
his
the
sayd
maister
Dolmans
presence
,
concerning
both
their
desire
of
seuerall
commons
,
and
also
their
rules
and
lawes
before
mentioned
:
and
sayd
vnto
him
:
that
it
seemed
very
strange
that
he
should
persist
as
he
did
,
in
defence
of
these
his
proceedings
.
To
whom
maister
Westons
ghostly
father
aunswered
:
that
as
he
,
and
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
had
caryed
away
the
glory
and
fame
of
all
that
was
heretofore
lawdably
done
in
that
Castle
:
so
from
hence-forth
Fa.
Weston
would
indure
it
no
longer
,
but
would
haue
the
same
ascribed
to
himselfe
,
and
to
the
Iesuites
.
Fa.
Weston
halfe
ashamed
of
this
so
plaine
a
confession
,
tooke
vpon
him
to
mend
it
:
saying
,
that
their
intent
of
separation
was
,
rather
to
auoyd
such
sinnes
as
were
in
the
house
,
as
whoredome
,
dronkennes
,
and
dicing
,
then
for
any
such
cause
,
as
the
party
before
had
mentioned
.
And
being
further
vrged
to
speake
plainly
,
whether
he
knew
himselfe
of
any
such
sinnes
to
be
in
the
house
,
he
aunswered
,
that
he
spake
not
in
particular
,
but
in
generall
of
them
.
Whereunto
maister
Bluet
replying
,
affirmed
,
that
in
saying
as
he
did
,
and
charging
no
man
in
particular
,
he
inuolued
the
whole
house
as
guiltie
of
those
sinnes
,
and
was
a
detractor
thereby
in
the
highest
degree
.
He
also
the
sayd
maister
Bluet
proceeded
further
in
effect
,
as
followeth
.
If
there
be
such
enormious
sinnes
amongst
vs
,
haue
we
not
ghostly
fathers
to
reforme
them
?
or
can
you
name
any
that
herein
hath
bin
refractarious
?
Is
not
the
sacrament
of
healthfull
penance
a
sufficient
remedie
for
men
in
our
cases
,
to
keepe
vs
from
such
enormities
?
If
the
meanes
appointed
by
Christ
,
haue
not
sufficient
force
to
remedie
these
euils
:
what
extraordinary
grace
or
power
can
we
expect
from
your
supposed
authoritye
and
lawes
to
effect
the
same
?
Againe
,
if
such
sinnes
were
in
the
house
:
either
some
particular
men
were
guilty
of
them
,
or
all
:
if
some
,
why
are
they
not
denounced
,
that
the
rest
may
know
,
as
well
those
that
committed
them
,
as
those
that
fauour
or
defend
them
in
such
their
turpitudes
?
And
whereas
we
are
prisoners
heere
against
our
wils
,
and
therefore
cannot
choose
but
of
necessity
must
dayly
conuerse
and
be
together
,
by
order
and
commaundement
of
the
State
,
and
condition
of
the
prison
:
how
dare
you
(
except
you
will
incroach
vpon
her
Maiesties
authority
)
thus
violently
attempt
to
separate
her
subiects
,
promulgate
lawes
,
execute
punishments
,
and
make
your selfe
in
effect
to
haue
as
full
power
as
the
Pope
hath
himselfe
?
In
that
you
seeme
without
his
authority
to
make
a
new
order
of
Religion
,
or
I
know
not
what
,
with
bands
,
lawes
,
rules
,
and
punishments
,
except
your
power
be
more
then
we
can
dreame
of
:
you
incurre
thereby
the
sentence
of
excommunication
:
and
by
the
lawes
of
this
Realme
,
it
is
well
knowne
,
that
omnis
coitio
in
the
kingdome
not
prescribed
by
her
Highnesse
,
is
subiect
to
a
very
heauy
censure
.
When
Iames
and
Iohn
priuatly
and
therefore
vnlawfully
sought
by
inediation
of
their
mother
,
the
right
hand
and
the
left
:
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
did
worthily
dislike
that
attempt
:
but
when
Peter
and
these
two
were
called
vp
to
Mount
Tabor
to
behold
Christ
in
his
Maiestie
;
all
the
rest
tooke
it
in
good
part
,
and
neuer
grudged
,
because
they
were
called
thither
by
lawfull
authority
.
Besides
â–Ş
if
you
and
your
pretended
subiects
will
keepe
no
company
with
vs
,
because
of
our
sinnes
(
as
you
pretend
)
be
your
surmises
true
or
false
:
yet
(
as
you
proceede
)
you
ioyne
therein
with
the
Donatists
;
who
because
they
would
not
defile
themselues
(
pure
creatures
)
with
other
mens
sinnes
,
departed
from
the
Church
,
and
perished
in
their
foule
schisme
and
heresie
.
In
the
proceeding
of
this
discourse
there
were
sundry
interruptions
:
but
the
summe
was
,
that
maister
Weston
did
little
regard
it
:
notwithstanding
his
pretence
of
yeelding
mentioned
before
,
if
his
companie
would
be
thereunto
perswaded
.
When
maister
Dolman
was
to
depart
,
he
moued
maister
Weston
and
others
,
that
forasmuch
as
he
had
acquainted
them
already
both
with
Doct.
Windams
opinion
and
his
owne
,
concerning
the
intent
of
his
company
for
diuiding
themselues
in
Commons
from
their
brethren
:
he
might
with
their
good
fauours
be
released
of
his
promise
of
comming
againe
after
Easter
.
But
they
would
in
no
sort
yeeld
thereunto
:
but
desired
him
in
any
wise
,
as
he
loued
them
,
to
keepe
the
time
appointed
.
Which
made
some
of
vs
to
meruaile
,
knowing
now
by
maister
Dolman
,
that
Fa.
Garnet
had
approued
maister
Westons
Agency
:
although
neither
then
nor
since
we
could
euer
obteine
a
copy
of
his
letter
to
that
effect
.
Howbeit
afterwards
we
perceiued
his
drift
herein
:
which
was
to
make
tryall
,
if
by
any
possible
meanes
he
could
winne
of
the
sayd
Arbitrators
;
to
determine
that
some
other
order
,
then
formerly
had
bin
vsed
in
that
place
,
was
necessary
to
be
appointed
.
For
then
presently
by
way
of
a
consequent
depending
vpon
Fa.
Garnets
authority
,
he
would
haue
obtruded
vpon
vs
his
owne
Agency
:
or
at
the
least
haue
gotten
some
aduantage
against
vs
,
to
haue
depraued
vs
to
those
,
who
would
not
consider
,
that
the
admitting
of
maister
Weston
for
our
head
,
we
had
thereby
submitted
our selues
to
Garnet
,
and
should
so
haue
become
meere
subiects
to
the
Iesuites
.
At
the
time
appointed
our
two
Arbitrators
,
Doctor
Bauyn
and
maister
Dolman
comming
to
Wisbich
:
we
found
him
the
sayd
Bauyn
much
more
stiffely
lyned
with
Iesuitisme
,
then
euer
we
could
haue
suspected
.
He
being
in
maister
Bluets
chamber
,
and
demaunding
the
cause
why
they
were
sent
for
:
aunswere
was
made
,
that
their
presence
was
desired
for
the
examining
and
deciding
a
fact
of
great
scandale
and
deformitie
:
yea
a
flat
schisme
(
as
we
thought
)
begun
,
and
prosecuted
in
prison
by
Fa.
Weston
:
and
to
reduce
vs
againe
to
our
auncient
vnity
.
To
this
Doctor
Bauyn
sayd
,
that
he
would
do
his
best
indeuour
,
to
set
quietnes
amongst
vs
:
and
further
told
vs
;
that
he
had
with
disdaine
read
Father
Westons
lawes
and
platforme
,
and
was
fully
resolued
to
casheere
them
,
whatsomeuer
came
ofit
:
but
yet
(
quoth
he
)
you
must
haue
some
order
and
forme
of
gouernment
amongst
you
.
It
was
aunswered
him
;
that
we
had
desired
their
company
,
but
to
iudge
,
whether
the
breach
they
had
made
,
was
lawfull
or
no
:
iudge
that
first
(
quoth
we
)
and
then
we
will
friendly
conferre
,
what
is
meete
to
be
done
hereafter
.
We
are
in
prison
,
and
sometimes
close
prisoners
,
not
in
case
to
speake
one
with
an
other
:
and
perhaps
must
be
,
as
heretofore
we
were
at
the
Keepers
dyet
:
what
shall
we
then
trouble
our selues
,
with
rules
,
orders
,
or
common
wealthes
?
Are
not
the
Canons
of
Councels
,
the
lawes
of
the
Church
,
and
the
sacrament
of
penance
sufficient
for
Priests
,
that
are
in
prison
for
the
Catholick
faith
?
Did
the
Bishop
of
Lincolne
when
he
liued
here
,
trouble
himselfe
with
any
such
matters
:
or
hath
this
yonker
amongst
vs
,
a
Iesuite
,
more
wit
,
grace
,
experience
,
and
authority
,
then
he
had
,
being
the
Popes
Legate
ouer
all
England
?
To
admit
these
his
new
lawes
and
penall
statutes
,
were
to
confesse
in
effect
,
that
we
had
liued
inordinatly
,
vntill
this
Iesuiticall
youth
came
to
reforme
vs
.
No
,
no
,
they
shall
haue
no
such
aduantage
against
vs
:
it
is
the
But
,
they
ayme
at
,
to
make
the
simpler
sort
of
Catholicks
beleeue
,
that
we
secular
Priests
are
no
body
,
nor
able
to
do
any
thing
of
our selues
,
except
the
Iesuites
may
haue
the
commaundement
ouer
vs
,
to
direct
and
commaund
vs
,
as
they
thinke
good
.
After
such
communication
had
in
maister
Bluets
chamber
,
maister
Dolman
and
he
went
to
maister
Weston
,
and
his
adherents
,
to
know
wherein
they
would
commaund
their
seruice
.
But
maister
Weston
after
the
new
fashion
,
desired
them
first
to
fall
downe
and
pray
with
him
:
which
done
,
he
arose
;
and
framing
his
countenance
as
though
he
would
haue
wept
,
sayd
vnto
them
thus
in
effect
.
Your
comming
hither
maketh
vs
glad
,
and
heauy
:
glad
,
if
that
you
will
assist
vs
in
that
we
haue
begun
;
and
so
we
will
giue
you
prayse
and
benediction
:
but
if
you
will
crosse
our
designements
,
and
condemne
our
indeuors
,
you
shall
giue
vs
very
great
cause
of
sorrow
.
Aduise
therefore
your selues
very
well
what
you
do
:
for
the
matters
are
of
great
importance
,
which
we
put
into
your
hands
.
Then
Doctor
Bauyn
(
to
pay
maister
Weston
with
his
owne
coyne
)
pretended
to
be
so
mooued
with
his
words
,
as
if
he
likewise
could
scarsely
haue
refrayned
from
teares
:
which
maister
Dolman
and
we
obseruing
,
we
doubted
to
finde
him
but
an
halting
Arbitrator
.
Besides
it
seemed
,
that
they
were
halfe
vnwilling
,
to
commit
their
former
designements
to
these
mens
arbitrement
:
had
it
not
bin
for
feare
,
that
else
the
world
would
haue
condemned
them
:
and
therefore
they
laboured
them
in
secret
,
with
all
their
might
and
maine
to
approoue
their
enterprises
.
Whilest
we
were
in
consultation
(
sayeth
maister
Dolman
)
good
Lord
,
how
were
we
dealt
with
vnder-hand
,
to
allow
wholy
of
their
doings
,
and
to
reprooue
the
others
.
Many
iarres
hapned
in
these
conferences
.
One
of
them
that
stood
for
the
vnity
,
told
the
Arbitrators
that
a
brother
of
the
separation
,
threatned
him
,
and
all
the
rest
that
stood
against
maister
Weston
,
that
if
they
would
not
submit
themselues
vnder
the
Iesuites
obedience
,
and
liue
vnder
their
statutes
and
lawes
,
they
should
starue
,
and
not
haue
a
morsell
of
bread
to
put
in
their
mouthes
.
When
Doctor
Bauyn
and
maister
Dolman
grew
to
the
consideration
of
Fa.
Westons
rules
,
and
other
his
designements
,
he
the
sayd
Doctor
Bauyn
did
vtterly
reiect
them
.
Marry
withall
he
made
mention
of
a
certaine
draught
and
forme
of
discipline
,
which
was
more
beneficiall
to
the
Iesuites
,
then
their
owne
:
and
such
a
one
(
as
he
himselfe
hath
confessed
)
the
Iesuites
abroad
had
agreed
vnto
.
In
this
platforme
,
eight
(
besides
maister
Weston
)
were
to
haue
bin
chosen
out
of
the
brethren
of
the
separation
,
and
two
of
the
vnited
to
make
vp
tenne
:
which
tenne
should
haue
gouerned
all
the
rest
;
maister
Weston
being
appointed
euer
for
their
mouth
.
So
that
as
before
in
his
owne
common
wealth
called
the
Agenage
,
he
was
maister
Agent
:
so
in
this
other
of
Doct.
Bauyns
(
tearmed
the
tenne
men
,
and
the
mouth
)
this
our
deuout
Iesuite
was
to
haue
bin
called
in
proper
speech
,
maister
mouth
.
In
communication
about
this
new
platforme
of
Doctor
Bauyns
,
there
grew
some
heate
betwixt
him
,
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
and
maister
Bluet
:
both
of
them
with
great
earnestnes
,
and
very
forcible
arguments
impugning
the
same
,
which
Doctor
Bauyn
tooke
in
euill
part
,
but
was
afterwards
wel
inough
appeased
.
Then
after
a
day
or
two
our
said
Arbitrators
(
hauing
taken
great
paines
this
way
and
that
way
)
agreed
together
vpon
a
forme
of
pacification
,
to
be
offered
vnto
vs
all
:
the
principall
effect
whereof
was
:
that
we
should
reconcile
our selues
generally
one
to
an
other
,
remitting
freely
and
wholy
each
to
other
,
all
pretended
or
supposed
iniuries
past
,
vttering
the
same
in
order
by
some
short
word
or
speech
,
without
any
rehearsall
,
debating
,
or
reasoning
of
any
matters
past
,
and
without
any
condition
,
or
exception
for
the
time
to
come
.
This
pacification
being
first
shewed
to
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
and
maister
Bluet
,
they
did
most
ioyfully
receiue
it
:
and
desired
the
Arbitrators
very
instantly
,
that
for
Gods
sake
,
they
would
go
forward
with
it
.
Afterwards
they
went
to
Fa.
Weston
,
and
maister
Southworth
,
and
deliuering
them
the
copy
of
it
,
they
seemed
very
willing
to
accept
the
same
:
so
as
an
hower
the
next
day
after
dinner
was
appointed
for
the
mutuall
reconciliation
of
all
the
company
,
according
to
the
effect
of
the
pacification
before
mentioned
.
Against
which
time
maister
Dolman
being
in
the
Gallery
ready
to
go
into
the
Hall
to
dinner
,
Fa.
Weston
drew
him
aside
to
a
window
,
and
vsed
these
words
vnto
him
:
I
trust
(
maister
Dolman
)
this
reconciliation
shall
not
preiudice
our
determination
,
of
diuision
of
Commons
:
to
whom
maister
Dolman
aunswered
,
that
all
their
breach
was
about
that
matter
:
and
that
therefore
,
he
and
his
fellow
could
in
no
sort
like
thereof
,
nor
permit
the
same
.
Then
sayth
maister
Weston
very
sharply
,
you
do
vs
great
wrong
.
I
meane
you
no
wrong
,
quoth
maister
Dolman
,
but
all
the
good
I
can
wish
or
deuise
:
yes
mary
do
you
(
sayth
he
)
and
so
you
would
confesse
,
if
you
saw
but
our
extract
:
which
conteyneth
three
sheetes
of
paper
of
the
enormious
crymes
,
that
we
haue
to
charge
them
withall
.
But
I
pray
you
(
sayth
he
)
let
vs
intreate
maister
Doctor
Bauyn
,
and
you
to
stay
this
reconciliation
,
vntill
to
morrow
:
for
we
haue
certaine
Articles
to
shew
you
first
,
that
cannot
so
soone
be
made
ready
.
Vnto
this
motion
the
Arbitrators
condescended
,
hoping
it
would
haue
turned
vnto
the
best
:
but
it
fell
out
quite
contrary
.
For
they
found
that
nothing
would
content
them
,
except
they
would
agree
vnto
the
separation
of
Commons
.
The
Articles
exhibited
concerning
vs
,
together
with
our
Articles
which
we
were
constrayned
thereby
to
offer
to
our
said
Arbitrators
,
we
haue
thought
good
here
to
set
downe
.
First
theirs
(
which
are
rather
indeed
Interrogatories
to
examine
the
Arbitrators
,
then
matters
that
do
much
touch
vs
)
and
then
our
owne
:
which
we
offer
to
all
men
,
to
be
censured
,
as
they
shall
think
good
.
1
Whether
(
say
they
to
the
Arbitrators
)
will
you
stay
the
time
to
examine
those
Articles
,
which
any
may
be
accused
of
?
2
Whether
you
thinke
it
secure
for
vs
,
that
liue
and
meete
together
many
times
in
the
day
(
not
hauing
the
meanes
to
auoyd
each
other
)
to
haue
those
things
proposed
,
and
examined
,
and
whether
you
can
compasse
our
quiet
?
3
That
whosoeuer
doth
come
to
declare
any
matter
,
shall
submit
themselues
to
you
,
as
to
their
Ordinary
,
to
declare
without
all
equiuocation
,
or
lying
,
any
thing
,
whereof
you
thinke
necessary
to
the
manifestation
of
the
verity
.
4
That
you
do
take
the
promise
of
euery
one
that
is
called
before
you
,
to
behaue
themselues
with
modestie
and
good
tearmes
.
5
This
supposed
:
we
are
all
for
our
parts
contented
,
that
they
obiect
,
what
they
can
against
vs
.
6
We
require
also
,
that
they
shall
giue
their
consent
,
that
they
are
all
contented
,
to
heare
what
may
be
layd
out
against
them
.
7
Euery
thing
being
heard
:
that
you
pronounce
sentence
against
those
,
that
you
shall
finde
culpable
.
When
our
sayd
Arbitrators
had
perused
these
Interrogatories
,
no
maruaile
though
they
troubled
them
,
being
so
contrary
to
their
expectation
:
and
deuised
of
purpose
to
breake
off
all
hope
of
reconciliation
by
their
meanes
:
and
such
likewise
,
as
by
Iesuiticall
shifts
might
haue
bin
prolonged
,
if
they
had
list
,
for
we
know
not
how
many
yeares
.
With
these
Articles
we
were
no
sooner
acquainted
:
but
presently
we
set
down
these
fower
in
some
sort
to
aunfwere
them
.
1
We
require
that
sufficient
satisfaction
may
be
made
for
the
slaunder
and
diffamation
of
vs
by
their
breach
and
letter
:
if
sufficient
causes
cannot
be
proued
for
their
so
doing
.
2
We
require
that
euery
accusation
be
set
downe
in
writing
vnder
the
accusers
hands
,
sub
poena
talionis
,
if
it
be
not
proued
.
3
We
will
aunswere
in
all
things
according
to
the
order
in
the
Canon
law
:
supposing
these
men
to
be
our
lawfull
Iudges
.
4
We
will
susteine
any
censure
,
with
this
condition
,
that
being
censured
by
these
men
,
we
may
be
secured
thereby
from
all
other
censures
concerning
that
matter
.
When
these
our
Articles
were
deliuered
to
Fa.
Weston
,
and
he
with
some
others
had
perused
them
:
they
began
first
(
sayth
maister
Dolman
)
to
take
exceptions
against
the
fourth
Article
:
and
in
the
end
against
them
all
,
plainely
shewing
indeed
,
that
they
liked
nothing
,
but
their
owne
designements
,
being
resolued
to
proceed
in
them
:
let
it
fall
how
it
should
either
back
or
edge
,
as
the
common
prouerb
is
.
Whereas
we
(
by
the
testimony
of
the
sayd
maister
Dolman
)
professed
our selues
very
desirous
of
reconciliation
:
and
offred
our
readynes
to
aunswere
any
matters
,
that
might
be
obiected
against
vs
:
protesting
that
we
would
only
indeuor
to
maintaine
our
owne
credits
,
without
any
recrimination
at
all
.
But
the
truth
is
,
that
our
sayd
Arbitrators
saw
so
many
inconueniences
that
would
haue
followed
,
if
they
had
entred
into
this
course
,
as
they
by
no
meanes
would
be
drawne
vnto
it
:
but
still
insisted
to
haue
lapped
vp
all
discontentments
in
their
sayd
generall
reconciliation
.
Whereunto
we
for
our
parts
,
were
all
of
vs
well
inclined
:
insomuch
as
maister
Dolman
himselfe
protesteth
,
that
he
he
will
euer
charge
maister
Weston
and
his
company
,
to
haue
bin
the
causes
that
the
said
goodworke
so
greatly
vrged
by
him
and
Doctor
Bauyn
,
was
not
effected
by
them
.
For
(
sayth
he
the
sayd
maister
Dolman
)
all
our
motions
were
irkesome
vnto
them
:
and
two
or
three
,
one
after
another
came
vnto
me
:
and
told
me
,
that
except
I
would
remoue
my
opinion
touching
the
breach
of
commons
,
they
wished
me
to
be
gone
.
Whereupon
he
writ
a
letter
to
our
whole
company
,
and
concluded
thus
.
As
before
God
I
speake
it
in
conscience
,
I
am
throughly
perswaded
:
you
,
that
shall
vnder
pretence
of
submitting
your selues
vnder
a
head
,
and
to
liue
vnder
an
order
,
diuide
your selues
from
the
rest
,
shall
do
a
thing
sinfull
.
This
is
my
minde
:
this
is
my
censure
.
And
so
the
good
old
man
departed
from
vs
.
After
his
departure
,
notwithstanding
that
Doctor
Bauyn
,
to
our
owne
knowledge
was
very
resolute
against
our
diuiding
of
Commons
;
as
maister
Dolman
and
diuers
others
can
also
witnes
:
yet
we
know
not
,
how
afterwards
it
came
to
passe
(
through
their
Iesuiticall
practises
with
him
)
but
(
as
we
haue
heard
)
within
two
dayes
he
turned
his
tippet
,
and
incouraging
them
to
take
their
owne
course
,
went
his
way
like
a
charitable
Priest
,
and
neuer
bade
vs
farewell
.
We
would
be
loth
to
do
him
iniurie
,
if
this
matter
hath
bin
misreported
vnto
vs
:
but
this
we
do
affirme
,
that
since
that
time
his
credit
hath
so
increased
amongst
the
Iesuites
,
as
now
he
is
become
one
of
their
Archpriests
assistants
:
and
that
within
a
day
or
two
after
his
departure
from
Wisbich
,
maister
Weston
and
his
company
,
entred
into
an
actuall
and
publick
schisme
:
they
refused
either
to
eate
or
drinke
with
vs
:
they
left
the
Hall
altogether
:
they
made
the
Chappell
their
Buttery
,
maister
Brampstons
lodging
their
Kitchin
,
and
their
Agents
chamber
their
Refectory
.
Whilest
Fa.
Weston
and
his
consorts
were
talking
,
as
you
haue
heard
before
,
of
certain
great
matters
which
they
had
against
vs
,
why
they
could
not
keepe
company
with
vs
any
longer
:
he
the
sayd
good
father
,
to
shew
what
good
stuffe
they
had
in
store
,
called
one
Garret
forth
,
and
perswadeth
him
to
vnfold
to
the
Arbitrators
his
owne
confession
,
that
vnto
Weston
his
ghostly
father
,
he
had
made
a
yeare
and
a
halfe
before
.
This
demy-Iesuite
,
although
the
thing
seemed
most
absurd
and
irreligious
,
obeyeth
willingly
to
vnfold
to
the
Commissioners
,
either
what
he
had
vttered
in
his
confession
of
one
of
his
fellowes
,
or
at
the
least
,
what
he
had
deuised
between
him
and
maister
Agent
.
Well
:
propter
bonum
societatis
,
he
commeth
most
sadly
(
as
if
he
had
bin
compelled
)
and
telleth
them
that
he
is
most
vnwilling
to
vnfold
that
which
turneth
to
the
diffamation
of
a
Priest
:
but
yet
for
disciplines
sake
,
which
was
seene
decayed
in
the
house
,
and
for
the
obedience
which
he
ought
vnto
his
ghostly
father
,
he
will
informe
them
of
that
,
which
may
giue
them
light
to
proceede
,
as
they
thought
good
.
Marry
he
will
not
haue
it
knowne
,
but
vnto
themselues
in
secret
.
This
protestation
made
,
he
sayth
,
that
one
of
maister
Medlye
his
men
,
an
heretick
told
him
,
how
that
a
Priest
(
and
named
him
)
was
in
the
greene
chamber
(
which
was
the
keepers
lodging

talking
with
Mary
maister
Medlyes
may
de
:
and
that
the
Porter
(
who
was
in
loue
with
her
)
was
by
maister
Southworth
willed
to
go
vp
to
the
greene
chamber
,
for
that
there
was
such
a
Priest
talking
with
Mary
:
who
in
all
hast
went
vp
,
and
finding
the
Priest
not
in
the
chamber
with
Mary
,
he
looked
into
the
Study
within
the
chamber
,
and
found
him
there
with
an
english
booke
in
his
hand
,
whereat
he
was
offended
.
Now
(
sayth
maister
Weston
)
you
see
matter
sufficient
for
to
leade
you
to
giue
sentence
with
vs
.
Indeed
(
sayth
Doctor
Bauyn
)
this
is
a
matter
that
moueth
me
to
be
willing
to
giue
my
iudgement
:
what
thinke
you
maister
Dolman
?
The
Romanes
being
Pagans
(
quoth
M.
Dolman
)
would
not
condemne
S.
Paul
vpon
the
request
,
and
accusations
of
the
Iewes
,
before
they
heard
Paul
defend
himself
in
a
publick
place
:
and
shall
we
here
condemne
a
Priest
,
and
in
him
,
12.
more
,
vnheard
,
vnexamined
,
and
no
place
of
defence
left
them
?
Maister
Ba.
I
will
not
do
it
:
but
I
will
heare
what
the
Priest
can
say
for
himselfe
.
I
do
not
thinke
(
quoth
Bau.
)
that
we
can
doe
so
:
for
this
matter
is
vttered
to
vs
in
secret
,
not
to
be
opened
againe
.
How
then
,
shal
we
pronounce
an
externall
sentence
(
quoth
maister
Dolman
)
as
we
are
externall
iudges
,
and
condemne
these
13.
but
it
must
be
knowne
?
Well
,
well
,
this
is
very
strange
:
and
so
that
matter
was
dasht
.
If
maister
Agent
and
Doct.
Bauyn
had
proceeded
with
the
rest
of
their
supposed
enormious
crimes
against
vs
(
so
many
as
filled
vp
three
sheetes
of
paper
)
and
that
M.
Dolman
would
haue
bin
aduised
by
them
:
you
see
what
a
prety
course
of
iustice
would
haue
bin
held
in
these
assises
.
What
all
those
seuerall
accusations
were
,
we
could
neuer
haue
the
fauour
to
be
informed
:
either
by
M.
Agent
or
his
assistants
.
You
may
suppose
they
were
not
great
,
in
that
we
had
been
receyued
with
great
applause
,
as
companyons
with
them
of
their
holy
order
:
if
we
would
but
haue
yeelded
to
Fa.
Ed.
Westons
Agenage
,
thereby
admitting
a
kinde
of
Fryer
to
be
the
head
of
secular
Priests
:
as
rare
a
deuise
,
as
lightly
hath
hapned
.
But
to
returne
where
we
left
.
A
separation
is
made
,
and
maister
Agent
is
in
his
ruffe
,
sitting
in
a
corner
with
his
obedient
subiects
.
If
we
should
haue
tearmed
him
Vsher
of
their
new
Hall
,
which
was
his
owne
chamber
,
and
maister
Brampston
in
the
like
respect
,
their
chiefe
maister
Cooke
,
hauing
good
oportunitie
,
though
he
had
lyen
in
his
bed
,
to
haue
ruled
the
roast
:
the
phrases
had
not
bin
very
improper
.
Howbeit
,
such
manner
of
conceits
were
then
farre
from
vs
:
our
hearts
being
very
greatly
replenished
with
griefe
,
to
see
so
many
of
our
brethren
Catholicke
Priests
,
and
imprisoned
for
the
same
cause
with
vs
,
so
irreligiously
to
separate
themselues
from
vs
.
Besides
:
we
were
otherwise
set
on
worke
by
them
,
in
laboring
to
defend
our selues
from
their
diuelish
practises
in
slaundering
of
vs
:
as
though
we
had
bin
the
men
,
that
had
made
the
faction
,
and
not
they
:
whereas
it
was
most
apparant
to
those
that
would
not
shut
their
eyes
,
that
we
swarued
not
one
iot
from
that
course
which
had
bin
held
both
by
vs
,
and
our
very
honorable
&
reuerend
predecessors
in
that
prison
:
as
men
that
detested
such
childish
innouations
.
Furthermore
,
our
sayd
griefe
was
greatly
increased
,
in
that
we
were
daily
aduertised
from
our
friends
abroad
,
how
many
Catholicks
in
euery
corner
(
otherwise
very
graue
and
zealous
)
began
to
fauour
this
new
deuise
:
being
possessed
with
a
conceit
,
that
we
(
formerly
reputed
their
deere
and
louing
fathers
)
were
become
on
the
sodaine
,
without
any
change
at
all
in
vs
,
persons
of
great
licentiousnes
;
such
as
could
neither
indure
any
good
order
nor
holesome
discipline
.
Lord
(
thought
we
)
whither
do
these
things
tend
:
or
what
will
be
come
of
the
most
auncient
and
Catholick
Romane
Religion
;
if
the
old
and
constant
professors
thereof
do
begin
to
delight
in
change
and
innouations
?
And
here
by
the
way
,
we
would
gladly
haue
it
obserued
,
that
as
well
in
all
the
aforesaid
garboyles
,
as
in
the
rest
that
follow
hereafter
:
we
that
stoode
for
vnitie
,
haue
alwaies
been
in
effect
meerely
passiue
,
standing
still
vpon
our
defence
:
our
aduersaries
(
for
so
our
brethren
did
make
themselues
)
practising
their
best
actiuitie
to
hurt
and
wound'vs
.
For
to
keepe
their
hands
and
tongues
in
vre
,
this
Gentleman
our
said
new
Agent
was
no
sooner
inuested
in
his
Iesuiticall
authoritie
,
but
presently
he
sendeth
abroad
certaine
reasons
(
fiue
in
number
)
to
his
friends
,
least
he
should
(
forsooth
)
haue
been
mistaken
in
his
said
publike
separation
from
vs
.
In
which
pretended
reasons
,
many
points
being
childish
,
and
many
false
,
we
hold
them
not
fit
to
be
here
inserted
:
only
we
haue
mentioned
them
,
because
they
driue
vs
againe
to
our
Apologie
,
by
incountring
them
with
fiue
others
,
which
we
will
also
pretermit
:
the
fact
it selfe
attempted
by
the
Agent
and
his
confederats
being
so
absurd
,
and
schismatically
handled
,
as
whosoeuer
doth
well
know
it
,
his
owne
reason
and
iudgement
(
if
he
haue
any
)
are
sufficient
to
condemne
it
.
You
haue
heard
at
large
before
of
our
troubles
,
which
Doctor
Ba.
and
maister
Dolman
would
gladly
(
wee
are
perswaded
)
at
the
first
,
haue
compounded
,
but
as
the
matter
fell
out
,
their
paines
therein
,
did
not
only
,
not
end
them
,
but
through
maister
Agents
Iesuiticall
skill
in
shifting
and
false
glosing
,
were
the
beginning
of
other
new
garboyles
.
For
he
hauing
gotten
into
his
hands
certaine
writings
and
letters
of
Doct.
Bauyns
,
did
pretend
and
giue
it
out
amongst
his
friends
,
that
he
and
his
adherents
had
been
very
willing
to
haue
entred
into
any
good
pacification
,
had
we
not
been
so
obstinate
as
no
reason
would
content
vs
.
He
shewed
some
Priests
of
the
said
Doctors
letters
,
wherein
(
as
it
should
seeme
)
he
affirmed
,
that
their
separation
was
in
effect
,
no
separation
.
Besides
,
it
was
giuen
out
,
that
we
vtterly
refused
to
haue
the
crimes
obiected
against
vs
,
sifted
by
the
arbitrators
and
looked
into
.
Againe
,
they
said
,
that
we
hauing
giuen
the
said
Commissioners
full
authoritie
to
decide
all
matters
betwixt
vs
,
did
for
feare
,
or
because
we
would
be
still
wilfull
in
our
disorderly
courses
,
reuoke
the
same
:
so
as
thereby
nothing
could
bee
effected
.
Also
they
quarrelled
with
vs
concerning
our
yeelding
to
haue
receiued
such
new
lawes
,
as
the
Arbitrators
should
thinke
good
to
impose
vpon
vs
.
All
which
particulars
,
with
many
more
such
like
,
being
most
falsly
layd
to
our
charges
,
they
went
from
hand
to
hand
,
farre
and
neere
,
and
were
receiued
by
such
Catholicks
,
as
began
to
be
infected
with
Iesuitisme
,
as
if
they
had
been
true
:
thereby
taking
occasion
to
depraue
vs
exceedingly
.
Insomuch
as
the
good
old
Father
maister
Dolman
was
driuen
to
write
diuers
letters
,
for
the
cleering
of
the
said
false
accusations
,
and
was
so
earnest
in
them
,
as
these
and
diuers
others
such
like
sentences
fell
sometimes
from
his
pen
:
Detrahere
,
aut
detrahentem
audire
quid
horum
sit
damnabilus
non
facile
dixerim
:
it
is
hard
to
say
,
whether
is
the
greater
sinne
to
be
a
slaunderer
,
or
giue
eare
vnto
him
:
sub
Christi
specie
daemon
inique
lates
?
thou
art
disguised
(
Sathan
)
in
the
habite
of
Christ
?
O
secula
nostra
,
hoc
pharisaismo
plenissima
!
our
times
are
pestered
with
pharisaicall
hypocrisie
!
By
these
and
such
like
courses
which
this
Iesuitical
faction
did
thus
practise
against
vs
,
the
Catholickes
abroad
were
greatlie
distracted
:
some
leaned
to
vs
,
but
more
inclined
to
them
:
it
being
the
fatall
calamitie
of
our
Nation
to
be
too
much
addicted
to
faction
and
nouelties
.
They
of
the
new
guise
,
sent
vs
word
that
in
opposing
our selues
against
the
Iesuits
,
wee
laboured
but
in
vaine
,
and
lost
thereby
our
reputation
:
that
order
being
of
such
excellencie
,
as
it
might
not
be
withstood
.
An
other
writ
vnto
vs
a
long
discourse
,
dated
the
26.
of
Iune
1595
,
how
vnwilling
the
Iesuits
are
to
take
vpon
them
anie
superioritie
:
that
Father
Westons
Agencie
was
not
worthie
to
be
tearmed
by
the
name
of
superiority
,
because
it
was
not
praeesse
sed
prodesse
:
that
Cardinall
Allen
a
little
before
had
willed
sundrie
Priestes
that
came
for
England
,
to
acknowledge
the
Iesuits
for
such
men
,
as
had
beene
their
superiours
and
maisters
:
and
that
therefore
,
they
should
make
no
difference
but
keepe
peace
with
them
,
and
goe
vnto
them
for
their
aduise
and
direction
.
And
afterward
in
the
same
letter
,
the
Catholickes
(
saith
he
)
are
so
wholie
affected
to
the
society
,
&
haue
them
in
such
estimation
,
that
whosoeuer
shall
shew
himselfe
to
fauour
anie
part
against
them
,
or
not
so
throughlie
to
affect
them
,
yea
though
he
be
one
of
our
owne
coate
(
meaning
a
Priest
)
hee
shall
be
lesse
gratefull
and
welcome
to
them
.
And
a
third
:
in
his
letter
dated
in
August
1595.
the
same
yeere
,
writeth
thus
vnto
vs
:
I
can
assure
you
,
that
in
the
generall
opinion
of
the
best
sort
of
Catholickes
,
the
tide
is
against
you
;
and
if
you
loue
me
,
contend
not
with
Father
Weston
.
This
and
much
such
like
stuffe
wee
receiued
from
the
fancifull
.
But
on
the
other
side
,
they
that
plodded
in
the
old
steps
of
antiquitie
,
and
had
a
great
disgust
of
nouelties
,
did
now
and
then
write
vnto
vs
,
after
another
sort
:
Sometimes
they
signified
vnto
vs
with
great
indignation
,
the
abuses
offered
vnto
vs
,
how
our
fellow
prisoners
of
the
faction
did
write
in
such
manner
against
vs
,
and
they
were
in
horrour
to
thinke
of
it
:
and
how
also
the
gallants
abroad
(
being
at
libertie
)
did
insult
vpon
our
miseries
,
treading
vs
vnder
their
feet
,
as
though
no
secular
Priest
were
worthie
to
be
named
the
same
day
,
that
mention
is
made
of
a
holie
Iesuit
.
And
some
of
great
fame
said
vnto
others
,
that
Father
Westons
separation
from
vs
,
was
so
odious
,
as
they
thought
it
expedient
in
their
opinions
,
that
seeing
they
deuided
themselues
from
our
table
,
wee
should
deuide
our selues
from
their
prayers
.
An
other
moued
vs
to
this
effect
:
that
seeing
the
old
sigillum
Salomonis
,
and
our
Sauiours
direction
failed
,
wee
would
inuent
some
new
pentacle
to
binde
these
furious
spirits
(
meaning
the
Iesuiticall
faction
)
which
will
do
much
hurt
,
if
God
be
not
mercifull
,
and
men
prouident
.
An
other
also
in
one
mans
person
describeth
vnto
vs
,
the
right
qualities
of
our
English
Iesuits
,
as
wee
our selues
haue
found
by
experience
,
and
the
world
in
the
end
shall
trie
them
.
The
man
he
writeth
of
,
is
now
one
of
the
assistants
to
the
Archprelate
:
and
these
are
his
words
:
he
is
the
Iesuits
Cursitor
,
alwaies
in
motion
for
them
,
either
for
gathering
of
monie
,
or
for
harkening
after
newes
.
If
he
can
learne
of
any
legacy
giuen
to
your
house
,
he
seeketh
by
all
the
meanes
he
may
,
to
conuert
it
from
you
to
their
vses
,
so
(
as
I
verilie
thinke
)
there
is
not
of
a
Priest
a
greater
enemie
to
your
companie
then
he
is
.
Notwithstanding
if
he
talke
with
anie
,
yea
,
that
he
likes
not
,
he
will
most
palpablie
flatter
him
;
but
behinde
his
backe
hee
will
most
monstrouslie
detract
him
.
Let
him
be
told
againe
of
it
in
such
sound
manner
,
as
with
no
face
he
may
denie
it
;
then
hee
looketh
a
while
vp
to
the
heauens
,
and
after
answereth
:
hee
remembreth
no
such
matter
.
Neuertheles
for
humilities
sake
,
he
will
say
he
will
render
what
satisfaction
you
will
:
and
so
with
that
gesture
,
and
this
hypocrisie
,
hee
will
shuffle
ouer
all
matters
,
be
they
neuer
so
foule
,
that
he
shall
be
charged
with
.
O
Lord
graunt
him
better
grace
.
And
some
there
haue
bin
,
who
haue
by
their
letters
,
bin
so
farre
from
disliking
of
our
proceedings
at
that
time
:
as
in
Iulie
1595.
they
moued
vs
earnestlie
to
continue
,
as
wee
had
begun
,
and
in
no
wise
to
giue
place
to
faction
,
and
nouelties
:
adding
that
they
had
not
talked
with
any
,
that
were
either
of
learning
or
iudgement
,
which
did
not
greatlie
condemne
father
Weston
for
his
vnquietnes
:
deeming
him
either
to
be
growne
into
great
melancholines
,
or
els
vnto
too
much
simplicitie
.
We
spare
to
trouble
you
with
more
to
this
effect
;
our
purpose
onlie
being
in
this
point
to
let
you
see
the
diuision
in
the
Church
:
procured
by
this
breach
amongst
vs
then
at
Wisbich
.
Whereof
a
godlie
father
writing
thus
generallie
vnto
vs
al
,
saith
:
if
through
the
continuance
of
your
dissentions
and
discord
,
you
will
so
greatly
terrifie
vs
,
as
we
shall
think
:
our
holie
anchor
drayling
a
floote
:
our
visible
Church
to
be
hid
vnder
a
bushell
:
our
forme
(
through
the
great
good
conceit
wee
abroad
had
of
you
)
of
heauen
,
to
be
now
a
figure
of
hell
:
looke
then
hereafter
for
smal
commiseration
&
pitty
,
when
too
late
you
shall
lament
your
incurable
woe
,
which
by
giuing
the
full
reynes
to
your
passions
,
you
haue
indrenched
and
implunged
your selues
into
.
But
howsoeuer
at
this
time
,
many
Catholicks
were
growne
to
be
of
Father
Westons
faction
:
yet
it
seemeth
that
some
of
themselues
,
who
best
knew
the
impietie
of
it
,
&
what
a
dangerous
scandall
it
gaue
to
the
Catholicke
cause
,
began
to
draw
backe
,
as
repenting
verie
much
that
euer
the
said
Agenage
was
attempted
.
For
if
M.
Perpoint
the
lay
Iesuit
,
be
an
honest
man
,
and
his
report
to
M.
Dolman
true
,
made
in
Iulie
1595.
M.
Garnet
himselfe
vpon
occasion
said
:
that
he
was
neuer
willing
with
the
breach
or
diuision
of
commons
:
which
being
made
plaine
to
him
the
said
M.
Perpoint
to
be
as
false
as
God
is
true
,
his
owne
letters
testifiyng
the
contrarie
,
he
the
said
M.
Perpoint
answered
,
that
he
was
well
assured
of
it
,
that
M.
Garnet
did
now
vtterlie
mislike
it
.
Whether
this
last
cause
was
true
or
no
,
it
doth
not
much
concerne
vs
,
because
no
man
is
able
to
bind
vpon
any
Iesuits
word
,
they
haue
so
manie
shifts
,
and
so
little
conscience
in
speaking
truelie
,
except
it
be
one
of
themselues
to
another
.
Otherwise
their
manner
is
,
to
frame
their
speeches
,
according
to
their
companie
:
alwaies
applying
themselues
to
the
times
and
occasions
,
as
they
fall
out
:
if
their
disseignements
proue
wel
,
they
take
the
contriuing
of
them
to
themselues
:
if
not
,
there
is
none
will
more
condemne
them
:
vtterlie
renouncing
them
,
as
hauing
neuer
liked
them
,
or
consented
vnto
them
.
Some
further
experience
hereof
,
you
shall
finde
in
the
processe
following
concerning
this
good
Prouinciall
.
You
haue
heard
before
in
some
sort
,
how
we
were
vsed
by
the
aforesaid
faction
amongst
vs
at
home
,
and
by
their
adherents
abroad
in
deprauing
vs
,
and
slaundering
vs
,
farre
beyond
the
limits
of
all
Christianitie
.
They
charged
vs
to
be
straglers
,
backbiters
,
liuers
vpon
rapine
,
extortioners
,
impugners
of
order
,
men
of
confusion
,
violent
persons
,
deteyners
of
other
mens
goods
,
and
with
we
know
not
how
manie
other
impieties
:
whereof
our
consciences
beare
vs
witnesse
,
wee
were
as
cleare
and
free
as
the
best
Iesuit
in
Christendome
.
Neither
durst
the
diuell
himselfe
haue
bin
so
impudent
(
as
we
suppose
)
to
haue
fraught
their
hearts
with
these
conceits
of
vs
,
or
framed
their
tongues
to
haue
vttered
them
,
had
hee
not
first
inueagled
them
with
this
most
odious
opinion
:
That
detraction
in
generall
(
so
that
a
singular
person
be
not
named
)
is
no
offence
.
Vpon
which
ground
,
they
ranne
a
great
while
,
not
daring
to
touch
vs
with
any
particularities
till
at
the
last
in
plaine
termes
,
they
laid
theft
in
effect
to
some
of
our
charges
.
Now
these
and
such
other
like
reports
,
flying
farre
and
neere
against
vs
,
as
though
we
had
bin
not
Catholike
Priests
,
but
diuels
incarnate
,
it
pleased
God
to
moue
the
discreeter
sort
of
Catholickes
in
the
North
,
to
send
vnto
vs
about
a
quarter
of
a
yeere
(
after
the
aforesaid
separation
of
commons
)
two
learned
Priests
,
M.
Mush
,
and
M.
Dudley
,
to
see
and
vnderstand
how
matters
went
with
vs
,
and
whether
wee
were
such
men
,
as
the
reports
(
made
by
our
aduersaries
)
went
of
vs
.
These
two
,
both
of
them
very
discreete
and
zealous
persons
,
men
of
great
traueile
and
paines
in
their
vocations
,
and
of
especiall
estimation
in
the
parts
of
their
abode
,
for
their
great
wisedome
,
learning
,
and
sinceritie
,
comming
vnto
vs
,
and
finding
such
garboyles
amongst
vs
:
they
so
demeaned
themselues
,
as
on
all
sides
,
we
were
content
to
impart
our
griefes
vnto
them
,
and
to
be
aduised
by
them
.
Whereupon
,
after
the
debating
of
manie
things
,
hauing
considered
with
themselues
,
what
course
it
were
best
to
hold
,
for
the
repayring
of
the
rent
that
was
amongst
vs
(
so
scandalous
and
offensiue
to
all
true
Catholickes
)
they
drew
twelue
articles
,
wherof
one
was
,
that
wee
should
all
ioyne
againe
in
commons
in
the
common
Hall
:
and
the
rest
did
containe
such
other
orders
,
as
they
thought
meete
for
quietnesse
to
be
obserued
by
the
whole
companie
.
Which
articles
,
they
first
offered
to
M.
Weston
and
his
fauourers
to
be
perused
,
allowed
,
and
subscribed
by
them
:
but
they
albeit
they
shewed
then
no
dislike
of
them
,
yet
they
intreated
M.
Mush
and
M.
Dudley
to
carrie
the
same
,
first
vnto
M.
D.
Bagshaw
and
M.
Bluet
(
hoping
as
the
euent
declared
)
that
they
would
presentlie
haue
reiected
them
,
as
they
had
done
before
D.
Bauyns
ten
men
and
the
mouth
:
whereby
hee
himselfe
,
and
his
adherents
might
haue
more
iust
colour
likewise
to
disclame
them
.
But
contrarie
to
his
expectation
,
wee
of
the
vnitie
,
hauing
well
considered
them
,
did
presentlie
without
any
further
delay
,
subscribe
vnto
them
verie
willinglie
and
readilie
.
Whereat
maister
Agent
and
his
subiects
were
much
amazed
:
and
in
fine
it
pleased
the
good
Father
vtterlie
in
effect
to
reiect
them
:
saying
,
that
hee
and
his
,
had
certaine
rules
of
their
owne
approued
vnto
them
,
which
they
must
follow
,
&
minded
not
now
to
alter
or
change
them
,
for
these
which
they
offered
or
any
such
like
.
Hereupon
maister
Mush
and
maister
Dudley
(
supposing
they
should
not
be
able
to
doe
any
good
amongst
vs
)
left
vs
:
and
tooke
their
iournie
towards
London
,
of
purpose
to
conferre
with
the
Catholickes
there
,
about
these
matters
and
scandals
amongst
vs
.
At
their
comming
to
the
Citie
,
they
found
the
laytie
generally
,
&
likewise
manie
of
the
Cleargie
,
exceeding
stiffely
bent
to
iustifie
maister
Weston
,
with
all
his
proceedings
,
and
to
condemne
vs
,
especiallie
D.
Bagshaw
,
and
maister
Bluet
,
as
men
of
no
worth
,
vnrulie
,
disordered
,
and
disobedient
persons
,
not
to
be
fauoured
or
respected
by
any
.
Besides
,
such
a
preiudicial
opinion
,
they
perceiued
to
haue
possessed
mens
hearts
,
through
their
admiration
of
Iesuitisme
,
as
if
the
Catholicke
faith
had
neuer
beene
trulie
preached
,
nor
any
good
order
rightlie
established
,
or
practised
,
by
vs
poore
secular
Priests
,
or
any
of
our
predecessors
:
before
these
yonkers
thrust
themselues
,
with
high
lookes
and
great
bragges
into
our
labours
,
and
that
it
might
be
sufficient
for
vs
,
if
we
might
haue
but
some
curateshippes
to
say
Masse
,
and
so
much
fauour
as
to
attend
vpon
them
,
to
know
their
maistershippes
pleasures
what
they
would
commaund
vs
.
These
two
godlie
Priests
,
seeing
the
violence
of
this
streame
,
offered
at
the
first
but
little
resistance
:
but
as
though
they
had
inclined
to
the
imputations
against
D.
Bagshaw
and
maister
Bluet
,
drew
forth
their
said
articles
before
mentioned
:
and
hauing
read
them
in
the
hearing
of
some
principall
Catholickes
,
addicted
as
you
haue
heard
,
desired
their
iudgements
of
them
:
who
(
thinking
they
had
beene
maister
Westons
rules
)
did
answere
verie
readilie
,
that
they
were
reasonable
,
discreet
and
godlie
:
such
as
no
honest
Priest
would
,
or
could
refuse
to
admit
&
allow
of
.
And
these
be
the
articles
(
quoth
maister
Mush
)
that
D.
Bagshaw
and
the
rest
of
the
vnited
companie
haue
very
willinglie
subscribed
vnto
:
but
haue
beene
verie
peremptorilie
reiected
by
Father
Weston
and
the
ninteene
his
adherents
:
whereby
you
see
,
that
matters
goe
not
at
Wisbich
,
as
(
I
well
perceiue
)
you
haue
beene
informed
.
Here
they
that
were
so
readie
to
condemne
vs
,
began
to
blush
,
and
hold
downe
their
heads
,
being
willing
to
heare
and
know
,
what
before
(
like
proper
iudges
condemning
Catholicke
Priestes
vnheard
vpon
an
imagined
opinion
that
the
Iesuits
could
not
doe
amisse
)
they
would
not
indure
to
heare
mentioned
.
So
as
after
true
knowledge
,
taken
of
the
estate
and
disposition
of
both
sides
,
and
remembring
what
letters
Father
Weston
&
his
adherents
had
sent
abroad
against
D.
Bagshaw
and
maister
Bluet
,
and
the
rest
of
the
thirteene
vnited
to
the
effect
,
that
no
Catholicks
should
send
them
any
reliefe
,
or
countenance
them
,
that
therby
through
want
,
they
might
be
compelled
to
yeeld
to
the
regiment
imposed
vpon
them
by
Father
Garnet
:
they
repented
them
of
some
courses
,
which
formerly
they
had
held
against
vs
:
and
desired
verie
instantlie
these
two
learned
Priests
to
goe
back
againe
to
Wisbich
,
and
to
spare
no
paines
,
vntill
they
had
brought
vs
all
to
peace
&
concord
,
giuing
them
great
thanks
,
praise
,
and
benediction
,
for
that
which
they
had
done
alreadie
.
Whereunto
they
answered
,
that
they
could
be
well
content
,
to
spend
if
it
were
their
liues
to
bring
that
to
passe
;
but
at
Wisbich
,
they
thought
they
could
doe
no
good
,
except
they
could
first
perswade
him
to
order
,
who
had
been
the
authour
and
contriuer
of
those
nouelties
(
which
had
procured
such
garboyles
there
)
and
that
was
(
as
they
were
informed
)
Father
Garnet
the
Prouinciall
of
the
Iesuits
.
If
we
can
(
sayd
they
)
bring
him
to
argue
with
vs
touching
that
action
,
we
doubt
not
,
but
that
we
shall
preuaile
with
him
:
and
then
our
trouble
is
in
effect
at
an
end
before
we
begin
:
Eius
est
soluere
,
cuius
est
ligare
;
his
letters
to
maister
Weston
&
his
fauourers
,
were
the
cause
of
their
separation
,
and
a
word
from
him
,
will
be
sufficient
to
reunite
them
.
Now
(
as
God
would
haue
it
)
it
so
fell
out
,
that
according
to
their
desire
,
they
met
with
maister
Garnet
,
who
at
their
first
incounter
,
seemed
to
be
inexorable
,
affirming
that
he
saw
no
reason
why
the
Iesuits
might
not
gouerne
,
and
haue
as
well
the
preheminence
ouer
all
the
secular
priests
in
England
,
as
they
had
at
Rome
,
ouer
the
English
Seminarie
.
With
which
proude
answere
they
were
somewhat
sharpened
,
and
entred
more
roundlIe
into
farther
communication
with
him
:
no
whit
fearing
to
tell
him
what
they
thought
,
aswell
of
his
said
wordes
vnto
them
,
as
of
other
the
Iesuits
proceedings
in
matters
of
state
,
succession
of
the
Crowne
,
and
such
like
(
hauing
latelie
perused
maister
Parsons
booke
of
titles
:
)
and
also
what
account
the
secular
Priests
haue
had
with
all
true
Catholickes
,
before
his
societie
was
borne
,
and
must
still
haue
of
necessitie
,
except
God
in
his
secret
iudgement
,
doe
purpose
some
greater
ouerthrow
to
the
Catholicke
faith
,
then
they
relying
vpon
his
mercie
,
did
any
wayes
expect
.
Manie
words
passed
betwixt
them
,
and
some
in
such
heat
,
as
he
threatned
to
be
euen
with
them
for
their
good
wils
to
the
Iesuits
:
but
in
the
end
hee
was
content
to
yeeld
vnto
them
,
and
bidding
them
farewell
,
did
write
his
letters
to
maister
Weston
,
D.
Bagshaw
and
some
others
,
of
his
pleasure
and
purpose
,
that
the
said
Agencie
should
be
committed
to
their
further
consideration
,
to
be
either
retained
,
or
disanulled
,
as
they
should
thinke
meete
:
very
hartilie
desiring
them
so
to
compound
all
matters
amongst
themselues
,
as
that
hereafter
they
might
liue
in
quietnes
.
Amongst
many
fayre
florishes
,
vsed
by
him
to
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
he
writeth
thus
:
Edmundum
meum
tibi
socium
&
adiutorem
adhibeo
.
In
this
busines
,
I
assigne
vnto
you
,
as
your
company
on
and
assistant
,
my
beloued
maister
Edmonds
.
And
againe
:
hisce
ego
literis
eum
vehementer
moneo
&c.
by
these
my
letters
to
you
,
I
do
earnestly
admonish
him
(
maister
Edmonds
)
alias
Weston
,
and
also
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
in
the
vertue
of
his
obedience
,
commaund
him
,
that
he
apply
his
minde
seriously
to
the
propounding
and
establishing
of
some
rules
,
whereby
an
honest
and
firme
friendship
may
grow
and
continue
amongst
you
.
And
in
an
other
of
his
letters
to
a
friend
of
his
in
Wisbich
at
that
time
,
he
sayth
after
this
sort
:
I
do
determine
,
that
if
an
agreement
be
not
now
made
,
to
write
to
the
20.
that
Fa.
Edmonds
may
liue
priualty
as
the
rest
,
all
or
some
by
course
performing
that
which
was
laid
vpon
him
.
What
he
writ
to
Fa.
Weston
we
know
not
:
but
craftily
inough
,
we
are
assured
by
his
practises
towards
vs
since
:
being
as
meere
a
Iesuite
,
as
if
he
had
bin
spit
out
of
Fa.
Parsons
mouth
.
The
aforesayd
two
godly
Priests
,
hauing
wrought
with
maister
Garnet
as
you
haue
heard
,
returned
to
Wisbich
,
where
notwithstanding
the
sayd
letters
,
they
found
Fa.
Weston
exceeding
loth
to
lay
downe
the
scepter
of
his
Agencie
,
casting
out
some
words
,
as
though
he
had
not
bin
bound
in
that
case
to
the
obedience
of
his
Prouinciall
.
Howbeit
maister
Mush
,
and
maister
Dudley
so
vrged
him
before
all
the
company
,
that
sundry
of
his
owne
adherents
,
perceiuing
how
the
matter
went
,
began
to
draw
back
from
him
,
and
sayd
,
they
would
haue
peace
with
their
brethren
,
and
diuide
themselues
no
longer
from
them
.
Whereupon
(
quoth
maister
Weston
)
very
pitifully
:
Ha
,
my
maisters
,
will
you
for
sake
me
thus
?
I
would
neuer
haue
left
you
,
but
sith
it
is
so
,
I
am
content
to
giue
ouer
:
and
thus
speaking
,
corruit
inter
manus
discipulorum
,
he
fell
downe
as
if
he
had
bin
in
a
swoune
,
and
much
ado
there
was
in
recouering
him
.
This
entrance
towards
our
vnity
being
made
,
then
many
things
came
in
course
to
be
debated
,
and
particularly
the
report
of
theft
published
abroade
by
them
of
the
Agenage
:
viz.
that
maister
Bluet
and
maister
Potter
had
riotously
deteyned
from
them
so
much
Pewter
,
and
other
furniture
,
as
amounted
to
the
value
of
17.
pound
,
and
that
they
could
haue
no
iustice
for
the
recouering
of
it
.
And
first
for
the
better
triall
thereof
,
Fa.
Weston
,
maister
Bluet
,
and
maister
Potter
,
were
required
by
the
sayd
two
Priests
,
that
they
would
cause
all
the
Pewter
,
and
other
kitchin
furniture
which
they
had
in
their
hands
,
seuerally
to
be
brought
forth
:
which
was
done
by
them
all
accordingly
.
Then
maister
Mush
and
maister
Dudley
,
sent
for
a
Pewterer
,
and
willed
him
to
view
all
the
sayd
Pewter
,
and
kitchin
furniture
,
and
to
tell
them
truly
,
what
he
iudged
it
to
be
worth
:
which
vpon
due
consideration
,
and
view
had
of
it
by
the
sayd
party
,
he
affirmed
it
to
be
all
scarce
worth
foure
pound
.
Well
then
(
sayd
maister
Mush
)
yesterday
,
you
maister
mine
(
naming
the
partie
)
exclaimed
that
we
had
not
the
courage
to
say
with
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
,
non
licet
tibi
habere
,
but
now
we
aunswere
,
that
although
we
are
not
comparable
to
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
,
yet
as
Priests
must
tell
you
playnely
:
non
licet
,
it
is
not
lawfull
for
you
to
infame
and
belye
your
fellow-prisoners
,
as
we
find
you
haue
dealt
with
M.
Bluet
,
and
M.
Potter
.
For
we
saw
your
letters
abroade
,
wherein
you
charged
them
two
,
to
with-hold
from
you
17.
pound
value
in
Pewter
and
kitchin
furniture
:
and
now
we
see
,
that
all
that
both
you
and
they
haue
,
is
scarce
worth
4.
pound
.
And
therefore
we
say
againe
with
Saint
Iohn
Baptist
:
non
licet
.
You
ought
not
so
to
haue
belyed
them
,
but
are
bound
in
conscience
to
aske
them
forgiuenes
:
and
with
your
second
letters
to
reuoke
this
slaunder
that
you
haue
so
raysed
against
them
:
which
if
you
shall
refuse
to
do
,
we
must
be
glad
to
do
it
for
you
.
Now
it
is
to
be
obserued
,
that
when
maister
Weston
and
his
adherents
diuided
themselues
from
vs
,
and
made
maister
Brampstons
chamber
their
kitchin
,
they
found
an
oportunity
to
go
into
the
common
kitchin
,
and
tooke
from
thence
such
Pewter
and
other
furniture
,
as
had
bin
prouided
,
and
euer
before
vsed
for
the
company
in
the
common
Hall
;
and
afterwards
thought
it
a
kinde
of
theft
,
that
any
was
deteyned
from
them
,
but
that
they
might
haue
had
all
.
These
matters
and
others
likewise
,
these
two
good
Priests
hauing
compounded
amongst
vs
,
they
fell
to
the
draught
of
new
Articles
,
increasing
the
said
12.
after
much
discussing
of
them
on
all
sides
to
the
number
of
19.
Whereunto
we
all
subscribed
in
the
yere
1595.
the
6.
of
Nouember
;
and
so
after
our
long
dissensions
,
a
generall
peace
was
concluded
to
our
great
contentment
,
we
dare
be
bold
to
say
it
;
and
maister
Weston
and
his
friends
returned
vnto
vs
againe
,
and
tooke
their
commons
with
vs
in
the
common
Hall
,
as
before
their
breach
made
they
were
accustomed
.
Now
we
being
all
of
vs
thus
reunited
,
not
long
after
it
pleased
maister
Garnet
to
write
an
other
letter
to
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
dated
the
17.
of
Nouember
1595.
Wherein
it
is
very
strange
to
consider
,
what
ioy
he
pretendeth
in
that
behalfe
,
whereas
indeed
,
we
are
able
to
affirme
it
vpon
our
owne
knowledges
,
that
the
ouerthrow
of
maister
Westons
agencie
went
to
his
heart
:
we
meane
vexed
him
,
and
angred
him
exceedingly
.
But
heare
the
diuelish
Politician
how
he
transformeth
himselfe
into
an
angell
of
light
.
When
the
blessed
soules
in
heauen
(
sayth
he
)
did
sing
with
one
consent
,
Glory
be
to
God
on
high
,
you
at
Wisbich
preached
,
and
restored
comfort
and
in
earth
peace
to
men
of
good
will
:
then
no
doubt
the
princes
went
before
,
the
singers
followed
after
,
and
in
the
middest
were
the
damsels
playing
on
their
tymbrels
.
Also
he
telleth
vs
,
that
as
there
is
a
coelestiall
Hierarchy
in
Heauen
,
so
we
had
then
an
other
at
Wisbich
,
which
all
England
did
reuerence
:
which
the
Queene
of
Saba
admired
:
and
which
many
from
the
vttermost
borders
of
the
earth
came
to
see
and
behold
:
adding
,
that
those
men
were
blessed
together
with
our
seruants
that
stood
in
our
presence
,
that
heard
our
wisedome
,
and
beheld
our
mutuall
loue
.
Hereunto
also
,
it
may
please
you
,
that
we
adde
some
other
words
of
his
written
to
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
two
yeres
before
,
after
himselfe
had
bin
with
vs
at
Wisbich
in
the
yeare
1593.
concerning
his
iudgement
of
our
whole
company
at
that
time
:
I
assure
you
(
sayth
he
)
that
the
being
with
you
hath
wrought
such
effect
in
the
barts
of
all
that
were
with
me
(
being
indeed
three
or
four
Gentlemen
,
whom
we
afterwards
tearmed
his
Deacons
,
and
Subdeacons
)
that
they
neuer
saw
place
or
persons
which
more
delighted
them
:
and
for
mine
owne
part
,
I
tell
you
very
sincerely
,
that
it
was
the
greatest
comfort
to
be
amongst
you
,
which
I
had
these
whole
seauen
yeeres
.
Testis
enim
mihi
est
Deus
,
quomodo
cupiam
omnes
vos
in
visceribus
Iesu
Christi
:
Which
sentence
of
S.
Paule
being
read
that
very
day
in
the
Epistle
in
the
Church
,
when
I
came
first
vnto
you
,
with
other
many
most
comfortable
sentences
,
I
was
both
not
a
little
recreated
,
with
a
conscience
of
an
vnfeyned
loue
towards
euery
one
of
you
,
and
moued
to
thanke
God
almighty
,
Super
communicatione
vestra
in
Euangelio
Christi
Ă
prima
die
vsque
nunc
:
considerans
quia
qui
caepit
in
vobis
opus
bonum
,
perficiet
,
sicut
est
mihi
iustum
sentire
de
omnibus
vobis
:
And
(
that
which
contented
me
most
of
all
)
comforted
with
an
assured
hope
,
that
you
are
they
,
who
in
your
singular
charities
will
haue
me
dayly
in
corde
&
in
vinculis
vestris
,
&
in
defensione
&
confirmatione
Euangelij
socium
gaudij
vestri
.
Hitherto
maister
Garnet
then
:
and
now
againe
in
the
letter
before
mentioned
he
professeth
:
that
being
at
that
time
with
vs
,
he
thought
himselfe
all
that
while
to
haue
felt
the
ioyes
of
Heauen
.
Now
we
referre
our selues
and
our
cause
to
your
considerations
,
to
iudge
as
God
shall
mooue
you
:
If
he
the
sayd
Garnet
did
thinke
then
truly
of
vs
,
and
writ
sincerely
as
he
thought
,
what
cause
had
his
subiect
maister
Weston
before
the
yere
1593.
or
afterwards
,
we
continuing
as
before
we
were
,
to
moyle
and
make
a
faction
amongst
vs
for
the
setting
vp
of
his
Agency
,
as
though
we
had
bin
not
such
men
,
as
maister
Garnet
sayth
he
found
vs
,
but
as
Fa.
Weston
to
colour
his
ambition
reputed
vs
,
that
is
,
persons
of
all
disorder
,
licentionsnes
,
and
confusion
.
And
againe
if
maister
Garnet
at
his
being
with
vs
three
or
foure
dayes
,
did
thinke
himselfe
all
that
while
in
Heauen
:
what
a
hell
did
he
afterwards
finde
in
his
conscience
,
when
he
had
bin
the
chiefe
cause
that
Father
Weston
and
his
adherents
did
separate
themselues
from
vs
.
Moreouer
if
the
sayd
letter
congratulatorie
for
our
vniting
proceeded
from
maister
Garnets
hart
:
and
that
thereby
we
were
indeed
in
his
opinion
so
charitable
,
so
wise
,
and
so
admirable
persons
:
how
iustly
may
all
Catholicks
,
that
tooke
part
with
the
sayd
separators
from
vs
,
and
factious
against
vs
,
blame
and
condemne
themselues
,
in
that
we
continuing
our
former
courses
without
alteration
,
either
in
our
conuersation
,
or
in
our
regiment
(
if
it
may
so
be
tearmed
)
from
the
time
that
maister
Garnet
was
with
vs
,
vnto
the
very
instant
of
our
sayd
reconciliation
:
the
ioyning
againe
of
maister
Weston
and
his
adherents
vnto
vs
,
is
now
reckoned
by
him
the
sayd
maister
Garnet
to
be
a
matter
so
glorious
both
to
God
and
men
,
as
he
hath
described
it
.
But
we
will
proceede
.
The
aforesayd
Agencie
being
thus
ouerthrowne
,
and
a
peace
concluded
amongst
vs
,
we
for
our
parts
,
were
replenished
with
great
ioy
:
but
you
are
farre
deceiued
,
as
we
our selues
were
,
if
you
thinke
as
we
then
thought
:
that
either
maister
Garnet
,
maister
Weston
,
or
their
Iesuiticall
crue
,
did
take
this
so
great
a
foyle
in
good
part
:
we
afterwards
perceiued
to
our
griefe
,
that
maister
Weston
would
neuer
haue
yeelded
to
haue
ioyned
in
commons
with
vs
againe
,
except
maister
Mush
,
and
maister
Dudley
vnder-hand
had
consented
vnto
them
,
that
if
afterwards
he
and
his
company
should
thinke
it
conuenient
to
separate
themselues
againe
from
vs
,
they
should
haue
these
,
and
those
roomes
,
such
a
table
in
the
Hall
,
such
a
place
for
their
Kitchin
,
and
such
other
roomes
,
as
they
held
conuenient
for
them
:
all
which
they
set
downe
particularlie
vnder
their
hands
,
and
left
the
same
sealed
vp
with
them
:
which
God
knoweth
,
wee
neuer
dreamed
of
.
Besides
,
maister
Weston
did
not
long
sit
at
the
vpper
Table
with
vs
,
and
below
maister
Bluet
,
and
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
where
his
due
place
was
,
but
that
he
desired
,
and
had
it
easily
graunted
vnto
him
,
that
he
might
leaue
his
said
place
,
and
sit
in
some
other
as
he
thought
good
Whereupon
as
disdaining
to
sit
where
he
did
before
,
he
bound
himselfe
afterwards
to
no
certaine
place
,
but
sate
(
you
must
thinke
)
for
humilities
sake
,
now
here
,
now
there
,
as
he
list
.
Moreouer
notwithstanding
our
sayd
reunion
,
such
abroade
as
had
depraued
vs
poore
Priests
,
and
charged
vs
as
you
haue
heard
:
did
continue
(
to
shew
their
constancie
in
their
former
good
wils
towards
vs
)
iustifying
in
their
common
assemblies
,
what
before
they
had
reported
of
vs
.
Maister
Dolman
who
dealt
like
a
very
honest
man
,
to
haue
compounded
all
strifes
amongst
vs
,
as
is
before
expressed
,
was
likewise
very
sharply
galled
by
them
,
because
he
deemed
their
sayd
separation
from
vs
to
be
a
sinne
,
and
that
he
had
before
greatly
blamed
them
for
making
the
Chappell
at
Wisbich
their
Buttery
.
Which
particulars
being
reprochfully
cast
into
his
teeth
,
he
maynteyned
his
former
assertions
:
adding
,
that
by
their
sayd
prophaning
that
Chappell
,
they
were
scandalous
,
sacrilegious
,
irregular
,
and
excommunicated
persons
.
Whereof
maister
Garnet
hauing
notice
,
he
desired
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
,
by
his
letter
to
pacifie
and
stay
maister
Dolman
,
from
these
or
any
such
like
speeches
,
which
might
tend
to
the
renewing
of
the
memorie
of
our
former
breach
.
Which
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
vndertooke
,
putting
him
the
sayd
Fa.
Garnet
,
notwithstanding
in
minde
how
vilely
he
the
sayd
maister
Dolman
had
bin
dealt
with
,
by
such
as
he
the
sayd
Garnet
had
great
interest
in
:
in
that
first
Fa.
Parsons
had
set
out
the
booke
of
Titles
in
maister
Dolmans
name
,
which
(
notwithstanding
that
he
detested
the
contents
of
it
)
might
haue
brought
him
into
great
danger
:
and
secondly
,
for
that
one
(
a
iesuite
)
vnder
his
commaund
,
had
very
cunningly
thrust
him
out
of
a
place
,
where
of
long
time
he
had
found
great
entertaynement
,
and
so
wrought
,
as
foure
pound
yerely
haue
since
bin
deteyned
from
him
,
which
was
giuen
vnto
him
,
as
a
legacy
by
will
.
Againe
:
within
some
quarter
of
a
yere
,
after
our
sayd
established
concord
,
great
hartburning
grew
,
and
many
slaunderous
speeches
were
cast
abroade
against
some
of
vs
by
maister
Weston
and
his
old
friends
,
concerning
a
priest
and
prisoner
with
vs
,
his
escape
â—Źâ—Źom
Wisbich
:
who
being
aduised
so
to
do
by
some
of
that
crue
,
and
with
Fa.
Westons
priuitie
,
â—Źis
taking
againe
was
ascribed
by
them
to
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
and
some
others
:
which
gaue
not
only
them
occasion
,
but
many
of
their
friends
abroad
to
write
and
rayle
against
vs
exceedingly
.
Not
long
after
,
viz.
in
September
,
maister
Archer
a
Iesuite
(
that
liued
with
vs
in
prison
)
gaue
an
other
occasion
of
very
great
garboyles
by
affirming
that
the
stewes
in
Rome
were
there
cum
approbatione
(
testified
vnder
the
hands
of
Doctor
Norden
,
maister
Buckley
,
maister
Meredith
,
and
Doctor
Bagshaw
:
)
that
the
stewes
were
as
lawfull
in
Rome
,
as
any
Citizen
there
:
(
testified
vnder
the
hands
of
Doctor
Norden
,
maister
Buckley
,
and
maister
Meredith
:
)
that
the
stewes
were
in
Rome
,
as
lawfully
as
any
Magistrate
in
that
Citie
:
(
testified
vnder
the
hands
of
Doctor
Norden
,
and
Doctor
Bagshaw
:
)
that
the
stewes
were
in
Rome
as
lawfully
as
the
Pope
himselfe
,
or
any
order
of
religious
men
(
testified
vnder
the
hand
of
Doctor
Norden
,
and
Doctor
Bagshaw
:
)
and
that
they
were
most
necessarie
(
testified
vnder
the
hands
of
Doctor
Norden
,
maister
Buckley
,
and
Doctor
Bagshaw
.
)
Which
very
lewde
assertions
,
comming
to
Fa.
Westons
eares
,
and
vnderstanding
how
they
were
impugned
by
maister
D.
Norden
,
he
the
sayd
M.
Weston
,
did
take
vpon
him
by
a
fond
and
false
distinction
to
defend
them
.
Whereupon
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
being
drawne
into
that
opposition
,
diuers
long
treatises
passed
betwixt
him
,
and
Fa.
Weston
:
he
the
sayd
maister
Doctor
Bagshaw
impugning
those
lewde
positions
,
and
maister
Weston
with
all
his
shifts
and
skill
laboring
to
defend
them
.
About
these
points
,
there
grew
such
parts-taking
and
hatred
,
as
that
the
sayd
orders
established
amongst
vs
by
maister
Mush
and
maister
Dudley
,
(
in
that
they
crossed
these
and
such
like
demeanors
)
were
in
the
latter
end
of
the
yeare
1596.
vtterly
cashierd
and
reiected
.
So
as
notwithstanding
we
kept
commons
still
in
the
Hall
together
:
we
liued
(
God
knoweth
)
there
with
great
disquietnes
:
many
of
our
old
friends
abroad
being
so
farre
drawne
to
Iesuitisme
,
as
that
they
blamed
vs
,
and
tooke
part
with
them
in
defence
of
these
so
abhominable
absurdities
.
And
now
it
may
please
you
to
leaue
vs
in
our
sayd
troubles
and
discontentments
,
and
to
be
aduertised
of
the
beginning
of
a
more
bitter
tragedie
.
Whilest
after
our
said
peace
we
were
lulled
asleepe
for
a
time
in
Wisbich
,
by
maister
Garnets
inchaunting
letter
of
congratulation
,
and
exercised
with
the
vniust
afflictions
of
our
brethren
,
as
before
we
haue
touched
:
he
the
sayd
maister
Garnet
with
his
complices
bestirred
themselues
,
and
that
secretly
,
so
as
then
we
did
not
suspect
,
or
looke
for
any
further
plots
to
be
in
contriuing
against
vs
.
We
will
be
bold
to
acquaint
you
with
one
of
their
notable
stratagemes
,
which
argueth
more
wit
and
foresight
,
then
playne
dealing
or
honestie
.
It
appeareth
that
by
the
Iesuites
practises
here
amongst
vs
,
in
disgracing
and
abusing
the
secular
priests
very
shamefully
,
there
was
some
rumor
thereof
in
Rome
,
to
the
great
impeachment
of
the
Iesuites
credits
there
,
being
then
as
turbulent
in
that
Citie
in
their
dealing
with
our
English
Seminary
,
as
they
had
bin
,
and
were
still
firebrands
amongst
vs
.
For
the
better
incountering
of
which
rumor
,
it
being
thought
inconuenient
,
that
any
of
their
owne
calling
by
commending
themselues
,
should
take
vpon
them
that
office
,
a
secular
priest
was
found
out
,
a
man
of
a
quicker
penne
,
then
either
of
wisedome
or
sinceritie
:
who
being
well
acquainted
with
all
the
iarres
and
quarrels
betwixt
vs
,
and
the
Iesuites
;
and
hauing
written
himselfe
a
letter
vnto
vs
,
as
presuming
to
aduise
men
of
farre
greater
experience
then
himselfe
,
concerning
our
troubles
about
the
sayd
Agencie
:
this
man
(
we
say
)
did
so
harden
his
forehead
,
or
in
his
simplicitie
was
so
seduced
,
as
contrary
to
his
owne
conscience
he
writ
the
tenth
of
Ianuary
1596.
to
Card.
Caietanâ—Ź
,
Protector
of
the
English
Seminary
,
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Iesuites
,
a
most
false
and
impudent
letter
.
Wherein
amongst
many
other
things
,
he
assureth
the
Cardinall
,
that
of
his
owne
knowledge
,
for
twenty
yeeres
,
there
had
not
bin
any
dissension
betwixt
the
secular
priests
and
the
Iesuites
:
and
that
the
reports
made
against
these
good
Fathers
,
concerning
their
ambition
,
were
so
farre
from
the
truth
,
as
that
indeed
the
Iesuites
were
in
all
places
most
notable
examples
to
the
secular
priests
of
singular
humilitie
,
gentlenes
,
patience
,
pietie
,
and
charitie
.
The
letter
it selfe
with
some
obseruations
vpon
it
,
you
shall
finde
amongst
other
things
to
this
story
annexed
.
With
this
cunning
trick
of
these
good
Fathers
,
we
were
not
then
acquainted
:
it
was
well
handled
of
them
,
that
they
had
got
so
false
a
brother
from
amongst
our selues
to
fit
their
deseignements
so
aptly
,
that
is
so
lewdly
,
according
to
their
desire
.
After
that
maister
Weston
had
begun
his
said
Agencie
,
as
hath
been
before
mentioned
,
our
brethren
abroad
of
the
grauer
and
wiser
sort
,
began
to
foresee
:
that
if
the
same
did
continue
,
maister
Garnet
would
shortly
after
,
as
well
by
M.
Westons
example
in
Wisbich
,
as
also
by
the
example
of
the
Iesuits
gouernment
of
the
Seminarie
at
Rome
,
challenge
,
and
take
vnto
himselfe
,
ere
it
were
long
,
the
Prelacie
and
gouernment
ouer
all
the
Priests
in
England
.
For
the
preuenting
whereof
,
as
also
there
being
many
Catholicke
Priests
in
England
,
and
many
wants
,
as
of
authoritie
of
confirmation
for
the
full
accomplishing
of
the
effects
of
Baptisme
,
and
of
holy
oyle
,
being
of
so
necessarie
imployment
,
they
thought
it
conuenient
to
deuise
certaine
orders
,
for
a
general
association
,
amongst
all
secular
Priests
:
and
in
the
end
concluded
to
referre
the
estate
of
our
Church
here
,
together
with
their
reasons
and
most
humble
supplication
to
the
Popes
Holines
,
that
it
might
stand
with
his
good
pleasure
(
if
he
thought
it
conuenient
)
to
graunt
vnto
them
that
they
might
haue
some
Bishop
or
suffragane
here
:
as
he
had
yeelded
heretofore
to
our
brethren
in
Ireland
.
In
these
consultations
,
one
master
Standish
a
Priest
was
a
great
intermedler
,
no
man
being
therein
more
forward
then
himselfe
:
but
finding
in
the
end
so
many
fitter
men
in
all
respects
then
himselfe
for
any
imployment
or
extraordinarie
preferment
in
that
companie
:
he
shortly
after
shifted
his
sayles
,
&
going
to
the
Iesuits
,
did
acquaint
them
with
the
whole
course
that
the
secular
Priests
had
taken
,
and
intended
to
proceede
in
.
Whereof
they
(
the
Iesuits
)
hauing
full
notice
(
as
we
gesse
by
the
euent
)
sent
into
Spayne
,
to
admonish
Father
Parsons
of
all
the
premisses
,
aswell
concerning
maister
Westons
said
Agencie
,
and
the
ouerthrowe
of
it
,
as
of
the
enterprise
,
which
our
brethren
the
secular
Priests
here
had
in
hand
:
and
likewise
to
impart
vnto
him
,
an
other
course
deuised
by
them
,
&
to
be
better
managed
and
brought
to
passe
by
his
great
policie
,
wisedome
and
credit
.
What
answere
Father
Parsons
returned
vnto
them
,
wee
can
but
also
gesse
.
But
we
thinke
wee
may
coniecture
it
,
by
that
which
followed
,
viz.
that
he
would
thinke
of
the
matter
,
and
that
they
should
send
one
to
meet
him
at
Rome
with
further
instructions
,
for
his
better
proceeding
to
the
accomplishment
of
their
desires
.
Now
you
haue
heard
before
,
what
a
way
they
had
made
alreadie
for
themselues
,
and
for
the
repayring
of
their
credit
in
Rome
,
by
maister
Blackwell
his
false
letter
mentioned
,
very
well
knowing
,
that
if
any
meanes
might
be
had
to
aduance
their
credits
,
and
set
them
aloft
,
it
must
come
from
thence
,
and
therefore
laid
that
machiuilian
ground
for
Father
Parsous
their
only
hope
to
work
vpon
afterwardes
:
which
as
you
see
fell
out
,
as
they
could
haue
wished
at
that
time
.
Also
the
said
Father
Parsons
(
then
as
wee
suppose
)
or
shortlie
after
,
hauing
taken
notice
what
our
brethren
the
secular
Priests
were
in
hand
with
in
England
,
did
send
to
some
of
the
best
account
amongst
them
,
and
likewise
to
some
others
that
in
any
sort
,
they
should
not
proceed
in
that
course
:
assuring
them
that
it
would
be
very
offensiue
to
his
holines
,
because
of
this
knowledge
,
the
very
same
in
effect
,
hauing
heretofore
beene
offered
to
his
consideration
,
hee
did
vtterlie
reiect
the
same
as
inconuenient
in
all
respects
as
things
stood
for
England
.
Besides
to
our
further
abuse
,
and
to
keep
vs
occupied
with
our
own
concits
,
that
wee
might
not
somuch
as
suspect
any
thing
of
theirs
:
wee
in
our
plaine
dealing
acquainted
them
with
our
whole
drift
,
and
purpose
.
Whereunto
for
a
time
,
they
craftilie
applauded
:
as
hoping
shortlie
,
by
their
former
courses
to
haue
it
dasht
:
but
afterward
perceiuing
that
their
owne
purposes
could
not
so
soone
be
compassed
:
(
as
wise
men
in
their
generation
fearing
the
worst
)
them
they
mightilie
opposed
themselues
,
and
depraued
ours
.
And
then
maister
Blackwell
himselfe
amongst
others
could
write
a
discoursing
letter
with
very
much
earnestnes
and
rhetoricall
arguments
against
so
ambitious
a
cogitation
,
as
once
to
thinke
of
any
one
mans
Soueraignty
ouer
all
his
brethren
,
during
the
times
of
our
persecution
.
Howbeit
wee
continuing
resolute
in
our
former
purpose
,
but
prosecuting
the
same
with
great
dulnes
,
maister
Garnet
and
his
fellowers
,
dispatched
the
saide
maister
Standish
,
our
false
brother
to
Rome
in
the
latter
end
of
the
yeere
1596.
there
to
expect
Father
Parsons
comming
.
We
will
here
leaue
this
honest
man
about
his
busines
in
that
Citie
,
and
put
you
in
mind
,
that
after
Cardinall
Allens
death
,
the
students
in
the
English
Colledge
there
,
felt
no
lesse
oppression
by
the
Iesuits
their
tyranizing
gouernours
,
then
wee
did
at
home
:
because
we
withstood
their
deseignements
in
aspiring
to
the
like
soueraigntie
ouer
vs
here
.
It
may
be
that
hereafter
some
of
our
brethren
,
will
set
out
those
tragedies
at
large
,
which
indured
long
,
and
will
appeare
to
all
men
of
indifferencie
to
haue
beene
verie
intolerable
.
In
the
meane
while
you
shall
vnderstand
that
two
or
three
,
being
of
likelihood
more
grieued
then
the
rest
,
or
hauing
a
greater
sense
of
our
calamities
,
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
then
manie
others
:
did
write
a
treatise
of
the
Iesuits
dealing
,
&
naming
it
a
memoriall
,
dedicated
the
same
in
Latine
to
his
holines
in
the
yeere
1597.
about
which
time
Father
Parsons
being
come
to
Rome
,
was
in
the
middest
of
all
his
machiuilian
plots
,
and
vnder
pretence
of
compounding
the
stirres
in
that
Seminarie
,
first
so
dealt
,
as
in
verie
short
time
by
cousoning
the
Rector
,
he
got
that
place
for
himselfe
,
and
now
enioyeth
it
.
The
imputations
laid
vpon
the
Iesuits
in
the
saide
memoriall
(
the
effect
whereof
you
shall
finde
at
the
end
of
this
historie
)
were
so
verie
sharpe
,
and
touched
their
freehold
so
neerely
,
as
no
meruaile
if
Father
Garnet
bestirred
his
stumps
to
salue
their
credits
by
all
the
meanes
and
wayes
he
could
deuise
.
And
therefore
he
held
it
best
to
write
his
letter
to
all
the
secular
Priests
:
wherin
after
certaine
flourishes
,
how
much
they
were
beloued
and
honoured
by
him
and
all
his
brethren
of
the
societie
,
he
intreateth
very
earnestlie
their
testimonies
in
their
behalfe
,
against
those
reports
made
of
the
Iesuits
in
the
said
memoriall
.
And
that
hee
might
obtaine
a
faire
shew
of
many
hands
,
hee
was
content
to
play
small
game
before
hee
would
sit
out
(
as
our
English
prouerb
saith
:
)
and
therfore
he
commendeth
to
them
such
a
triple
answere
,
as
he
thought
would
fit
the
most
.
Although
(
saith
he
)
we
are
not
so
well
known
to
many
of
you
,
as
you
all
peraduenture
will
pronounce
the
whole
contents
of
the
said
treatise
to
be
false
:
yet
one
of
these
three
answers
may
sit
all
your
turnes
.
Some
may
say
all
is
false
:
other
that
they
themselues
haue
nothing
to
accuse
the
Iesuits
with
,
and
doe
not
therefore
beleeue
the
said
reports
to
be
true
:
and
the
rest
may
affirme
without
any
scruple
,
that
for
their
parts
,
they
neuer
dreamed
of
the
said
memoriall
,
nor
doe
in
any
sort
approue
the
same
.
And
the
better
to
perswade
them
thus
to
answere
,
he
sweareth
by
more
then
his
little
honesty
,
that
there
is
not
a
true
word
in
it
.
There
is
a
saying
amongst
such
lawyers
as
are
of
experience
,
that
they
seldome
fall
out
to
be
the
honestest
men
,
who
aredriuen
so
oft
to
seeke
testimonials
for
the
approuing
of
their
good
behauior
.
But
that
is
no
matter
with
them
,
and
peraduenture
,
that
conceit
here
holdeth
not
at
Rome
,
so
as
maister
Garnet
did
content
himselfe
with
his
owne
course
,
and
made
such
haste
therin
,
as
before
August
the
same
yeere
,
the
testimonial
he
got
,
was
with
Fa.
Parsons
in
the
English
Seminary
.
And
here
we
cannot
omit
one
thing
,
which
indeede
made
vs
a
little
merry
in
the
middest
of
our
sorrow
,
how
good
Fa.
Parsons
was
troubled
with
one
mans
subscription
to
the
sayd
testimoniall
.
For
thus
he
writeth
:
as
he
pretendeth
from
Naples
,
primo
Augusti
1598.
to
the
sayd
party
.
After
I
saw
a
particular
testimony
of
your
owne
hand
in
latine
,
concerning
the
memoriall
giuen
vp
against
the
societie
,
I
could
haue
bin
content
you
had
not
written
it
:
but
either
haue
subscribed
simpliciter
,
as
many
other
auncient
and
graue
Priests
did
to
the
cunning
letter
,
as
it
was
written
(
being
very
modest
and
most
true
)
or
that
you
had
sayd
nothing
at
all
:
as
well
you
might
haue
omitted
:
the
memoriall
being
writ
and
sent
from
Plaunders
,
whilest
you
were
yet
in
Italy
:
and
so
that
it
was
done
,
and
exhibited
,
Te
neque
consentiente
,
neque
conscio
(
for
those
are
only
the
words
of
testimony
that
you
giue
)
was
not
needefull
:
the
thing
being
euident
of
it selfe
,
and
your
particular
writing
so
bare
a
thing
vnder
the
common
letter
,
was
to
detract
from
all
the
letter
before
:
and
for
the
matter
it selfe
(
which
was
most
abhominable
,
false
,
and
slaunderous
,
)
you
leaue
it
indifferent
to
be
beleeued
,
or
not
beleeued
&c.
Were
it
not
that
you
might
hereby
perceiue
what
packing
,
and
practising
is
amongst
these
fellowes
for
the
maintenance
of
their
owne
credit
:
and
how
swift
they
are
in
the
expeditions
they
take
in
hand
:
we
would
haue
made
no
mention
hereof
,
because
thereby
our
owne
dulnes
may
iustly
be
condemned
,
who
all
this
while
had
not
sent
our
messengers
to
Rome
,
for
the
information
of
his
holynes
,
as
touching
our
estates
here
,
and
the
common
desire
of
vs
secular
Priests
,
for
a
Bishop
as
before
is
mentioned
.
In
which
slow
proceeding
,
we
will
leaue
our
brethren
for
a
time
,
and
returne
to
maister
Standish
attending
vpon
Fa.
Parsons
in
Rome
.
After
this
good
Father
had
gotten
the
Rectorship
of
the
English
Seminary
,
it
then
pleased
his
Worship
to
proceede
with
the
cause
commended
vnto
him
by
his
subiects
in
England
,
Fa.
Garnet
and
the
rest
.
We
doubt
not
,
but
that
in
the
meane
time
he
had
conferred
with
his
friends
,
and
was
resolued
of
the
plot
he
meant
to
effect
:
the
execution
whereof
was
in
manner
as
followeth
.
Standish
that
honest
man
must
haue
accesse
to
the
Popes
holynes
,
accompanyed
with
two
runnagates
,
both
of
them
Priests
,
Doctor
Haddock
,
and
maister
Martin
Array
.
These
must
take
vpon
them
,
and
so
they
did
,
that
they
were
men
deputed
from
the
secular
Priests
in
England
,
most
humbly
to
intreate
his
Holynes
that
he
would
be
pleased
by
his
most
preheminent
Authority
,
to
appoynt
a
superior
ouer
the
Church
of
England
.
And
the
rather
to
perswade
him
thereunto
,
they
affirmed
like
very
lying
wretches
,
that
there
was
such
great
dissension
betwixt
the
secular
priests
and
the
laytie
,
as
great
inconueniences
would
certainely
insue
,
except
one
were
placed
amongst
them
,
that
by
his
authority
might
reforme
and
reconcile
them
.
Now
it
is
too
well
knowne
,
that
the
strife
which
was
heere
,
rested
betwixt
vs
and
the
Iesuites
;
no
one
lay
Catholick
(
for
ought
we
know
)
being
at
enmity
with
any
other
secular
Priests
,
then
with
some
few
of
vs
,
that
were
at
Wisbich
,
and
one
or
two
more
abroad
that
tooke
our
parts
:
and
the
dislike
that
such
lay
persons
had
of
vs
,
was
procured
by
the
false
practise
of
the
Iesuites
:
we
our selues
,
otherwise
hauing
neuer
offended
them
,
nor
interteyned
any
quarrell
with
them
,
God
is
our
iudge
.
His
Holynes
hearing
and
marking
well
their
suite
,
demaunded
of
them
,
in
expresse
tearmes
,
if
that
which
they
had
sayd
vnto
him
,
proceeded
from
the
desire
and
consent
of
his
louing
Priests
in
England
,
affirming
that
otherwise
he
would
in
no
sort
giue
any
eare
vnto
them
.
Where-unto
maister
Sandish
,
very
well
instructed
before
by
Father
Parsons
,
and
sufficiently
assisted
by
the
sayd
two
lying
Priests
,
answered
,
that
what
he
had
presumed
to
deliuer
to
his
Holynes
,
he
had
done
it
most
assuredly
by
their
consent
.
If
Ananias
was
iustly
charged
with
lying
to
the
holy
Ghost
,
in
telling
Saint
Peter
an
vntruth
,
being
replenished
with
that
holy
spirit
,
we
see
no
cause
,
why
we
may
not
so
charge
this
dishonest
company
on
with
all
his
assistants
(
Fa.
Parsons
and
the
rest
)
in
that
they
Iyed
so
apparantly
to
Saint
Peters
successor
the
Popes
Holynes
,
who
we
doubt
not
,
but
that
he
is
likewise
indued
with
the
spirit
of
God
in
such
plentifull
sort
,
as
the
excellency
of
his
high
calling
doth
require
.
For
it
is
well
knowne
,
and
may
be
proued
most
euidently
,
(
if
any
dare
be
so
shamelesse
as
to
deny
it
)
that
if
you
except
Fa.
Garnet
,
and
some
one
or
two
of
his
adherents
,
the
rest
of
the
Priests
in
England
generally
were
altogether
ignorant
of
that
deuise
.
Insomuch
as
the
sayd
Standish
after
his
returne
into
England
,
being
asked
by
certaine
Priests
,
how
he
durst
presume
so
impudently
to
abuse
his
Holynes
with
so
intolerable
an
vntruth
,
he
excused
himselfe
in
this
sort
,
viz.
that
when
he
sayd
,
he
had
the
consent
of
the
secular
Priests
in
England
to
make
that
motion
,
his
answere
therein
was
made
by
him
Cautè
,
that
is
,
subtilly
,
or
by
equiuocation
,
meaning
to
himselfe
,
viz.
as
he
supposed
,
or
presumed
;
which
words
he
kept
in
his
minde
and
vttered
not
.
By
which
vngodly
shift
,
the
tyranny
wherewith
now
we
are
oppressed
,
was
hatched
.
By
this
so
false
and
Iesuiticall
a
sleight
,
the
Popes
Holynes
being
abused
as
you
haue
heard
,
committed
that
matter
(
so
propounded
vnto
him
)
to
the
further
consideration
of
Cardinall
Caietane
,
protector
of
the
English
Seminary
,
and
to
Cardinall
Burghesius
,
which
was
the
very
plot
that
Fa.
Parsons
before
had
layd
:
the
sayd
Cardinall
protector
,
being
one
,
with
whom
he
the
sayd
Parsons
had
especiall
familiaritie
and
friendship
;
and
by
reason
of
his
protectorship
ouerruled
the
other
Cardinall
as
he
thought
good
:
so
as
they
two
being
appointed
for
this
seruice
,
Parsons
deseignement
was
in
effect
thereby
accomplished
.
Well
it
had
hapned
to
vs
,
if
his
Holynes
had
bin
at
that
time
indued
with
that
worthie
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
tearmed
discretio
spirituum
:
that
when
he
made
this
deputation
to
the
Cardinall
,
he
might
haue
sayd
to
the
aforesayd
false
wretches
:
why
haue
you
lyed
to
the
holy
Ghost
,
that
thereby
,
either
some
extraordinary
calamitie
might
haue
fallen
vpon
them
,
or
his
Holynes
haue
taken
some
other
course
for
the
inflicting
vpon
them
such
punishment
as
they
deserued
.
But
the
matter
passed
as
you
haue
heard
:
and
Parsons
must
contriue
it
as
he
thinketh
it
conuenient
,
which
he
did
in
sort
as
followeth
.
One
must
gouerne
all
the
Priests
in
England
,
but
Parsons
durst
not
name
a
Iesuite
for
that
purpose
:
that
had
bin
too
grosse
dealing
,
he
must
then
be
a
secular
Priest
,
there
was
no
remedie
.
And
who
should
that
be
,
but
maister
Blackwell
,
who
was
knowne
to
be
a
chiefe
parasite
of
the
Iesuites
,
and
would
be
sure
,
if
he
might
haue
this
authoritie
by
them
,
neuer
to
do
any
thing
,
that
might
in
any
sort
displease
them
.
Whereupon
Blackwell
is
named
for
the
Arch-priest
of
England
:
assistants
are
appointed
to
wayt
vpon
him
:
a
letter
with
the
Cardinals
consent
is
framed
by
Father
Parsons
,
dated
the
seauenth
of
March
1598.
rules
are
made
,
and
one
in
effect
you
may
be
sure
,
that
maister
Arch-priest
and
his
assistants
shall
do
nothing
in
any
matter
of
importance
,
without
the
Iesuites
consents
.
All
things
thus
dispatched
,
maister
Standish
(
as
wee
thinke
)
is
sent
back
with
this
stuffe
into
England
;
and
euen
when
our
two
messengers
were
ready
at
the
last
to
go
towards
Rome
,
he
arriueth
:
maister
Blackwell
receiueth
his
authoritie
,
and
publisheth
the
same
for
want
of
a
Cryer
by
his
owne
letters
:
requiring
all
Priests
to
subscribe
vnto
it
.
Hereof
when
sundry
of
vs
had
notice
,
we
conferred
together
as
we
could
:
and
finding
that
the
Cardinals
directions
were
not
warranted
,
by
any
Breue
from
his
Holynes
:
we
feared
some
false
packing
by
Father
Parsons
.
Also
some
of
our
brethren
talking
with
maister
Blackwell
,
about
the
Cardinals
constitutions
,
tooke
him
directly
with
a
manifest
forgery
,
in
pretending
certaine
to
haue
come
from
the
Cardinall
which
he
was
driuen
to
confesse
,
were
of
his
owne
making
.
Besides
we
considered
,
that
if
the
Pope
were
made
acquainted
with
the
sayd
Cardinals
designements
;
what
he
did
,
or
allowed
therein
,
was
vpon
false
suggestion
,
(
for
as
then
wee
did
not
certainely
know
,
how
Standish
had
played
the
Iesuite
by
Parsons
aduise
as
is
before
expressed
.
Againe
,
wee
perceiued
by
the
Cardinals
instructions
,
that
maister
Blackwell
was
made
no
better
in
deede
then
an
Arch-priest
of
cloutes
,
being
limited
to
do
nothing
,
but
as
it
should
please
maister
Garnet
.
And
it
could
not
sinke
into
our
heads
,
that
his
Holynes
being
throughly
acquainted
with
these
plots
,
would
euer
haue
bin
drawne
to
haue
yeelded
,
that
his
Clergie
of
England
should
be
ouertopt
,
and
controuled
by
the
new
vpstart
Iesuites
.
We
also
did
easily
see
into
what
danger
this
subordination
would
bring
vs
,
being
left
in
effect
to
Father
Parsons
directions
.
For
these
,
and
sundry
other
considerations
,
we
desired
that
we
might
not
be
vrged
to
subscribe
to
the
sayd
authoritie
,
vntill
wee
might
either
see
the
Popes
Breue
to
ratifie
it
,
or
haue
time
to
know
his
Holynes
further
pleasure
:
when
we
should
haue
informed
him
the
truth
in
these
matters
.
Vpon
our
stay
herein
,
(
which
seemed
to
vs
so
reasonable
,
)
it
is
scarse
credible
,
how
we
were
slaundered
and
abused
:
insomuch
as
through
such
and
many
other
iniuries
offred
by
the
Arch-priest
and
Iesuites
vnto
vs
,
we
were
compelled
to
appeale
to
his
Holynes
.
But
we
were
still
too
slow
and
dull
in
our
proceedings
,
and
indeede
wanted
money
,
and
other
fit
oportunities
to
make
such
quick
dispatch
as
we
desired
.
Whereupon
Father
Garnet
,
and
maister
Blackwell
abounding
in
all
things
,
and
perceiuing
our
intent
,
they
presently
dispatched
their
cursitors
into
euery
part
of
the
Realme
,
to
get
hands
to
certaine
letters
(
drawne
either
by
them
,
or
by
their
direction
)
of
thankesgiuing
to
the
Pope
,
and
Protector
,
for
their
singular
care
ouer
the
Church
heere
,
in
appointing
vnto
them
so
excellent
a
forme
of
gouernment
:
with
much
more
to
this
purpose
.
And
such
a
course
was
taken
with
our
poore
brethren
,
who
many
of
them
had
neuer
heard
of
this
matter
before
,
as
partly
through
ignorance
in
some
,
through
threatning
and
feare
in
others
,
and
by
faire
promises
to
many
;
a
number
of
hands
were
gotten
to
the
sayd
letters
.
This
exployt
thus
effected
,
they
sent
the
sayd
letters
with
all
speede
to
Rome
,
and
procured
by
their
messengers
as
they
went
,
other
letters
,
from
sundry
persons
beyond
the
seas
to
their
friends
in
that
City
to
depraue
our
enterprise
as
much
as
possibly
they
could
,
affirming
that
what
our
messengers
,
when
they
came
thither
,
should
propound
against
the
subordination
in
England
,
did
proceede
only
from
a
few
that
were
factious
,
and
that
it
would
be
very
dishonorable
to
his
Holynes
former
proceedings
,
if
they
should
finde
any
fauour
or
countenance
there
.
With
these
aforesaid
Machiuilian
practises
,
wee
were
not
then
acquainted
,
but
as
honest
and
plaine
dealing
men
;
when
our
said
messengers
,
maister
Bishop
and
maister
Charnock
,
two
learned
Priestes
,
were
readie
to
goe
to
Rome
to
prosecute
our
causes
there
:
we
acquainted
our
Archpriest
therewith
and
desired
,
(
if
so
it
might
stand
with
his
pleasure
)
to
sende
some
thither
also
,
that
might
be
furnished
to
answere
for
him
,
if
we
should
be
thought
to
informe
amisse
.
This
motion
of
ours
,
was
so
greatlie
disdained
by
his
maistership
,
as
wee
thinke
the
highest
Cardinall
in
Christendome
,
could
not
with
greater
contempt
haue
reiected
the
meanest
Priest
his
sute
that
liueth
.
And
relying
vpon
Father
Parsons
,
and
his
other
said
plots
,
hee
presumed
to
tell
vs
plainelie
(
to
the
great
preiudice
of
iustice
in
the
Court
of
Rome
)
that
if
we
sent
any
thither
,
they
should
not
be
heard
,
but
finde
that
entertainement
,
which
they
little
expected
.
Howbeit
wee
neuer
imagined
,
nor
could
in
deed
thinke
,
either
of
those
messages
which
they
had
sent
before
,
or
of
that
which
followed
:
but
rather
supposed
he
had
vsed
such
speeches
vnto
vs
of
purpose
to
stay
vs
from
proceeding
in
our
former
determination
.
And
therefore
we
dispatch
them
hence
,
who
being
gone
,
our
Archpriest
chafeth
:
the
Prouinciall
his
good
maister
,
clappes
him
on
the
backe
and
egges
him
forward
:
the
rest
of
the
Iesuits
whet
their
tongues
and
prepare
their
pens
to
speake
and
write
what
they
can
falselie
deuise
against
vs
to
make
vs
odious
:
so
as
presentlie
,
we
are
become
a
by-word
in
their
mouthes
,
&
are
nothing
with
them
but
Rebels
,
Apostataes
,
and
what
they
list
to
report
of
vs
.
One
Lister
a
Iesuit
writeth
a
booke
to
proue
vs
al
schismatikes
,
who
had
appealed
to
Rome
,
and
both
maister
Blackwell
and
Father
Garnet
subscribed
vnto
it
.
In
this
booke
,
besides
the
tearmes
before
expressed
,
we
are
said
to
haue
fallen
from
the
Church
,
and
the
spouse
of
Christ
:
to
haue
troden
vnder
our
feete
our
obedience
due
to
the
highest
bishop
:
to
haue
lost
our
faculties
,
whereby
we
ought
to
haue
wonne
soules
vnto
Christ
:
to
haue
made
our selues
irregular
:
to
haue
incurred
the
sentence
of
excommunication
:
to
haue
giuen
a
scandall
to
all
goodmen
:
to
be
in
all
mens
mouthes
as
infamous
persons
:
to
be
as
publicanes
and
sinners
,
and
to
be
nothing
better
then
soothsayers
and
Idolaters
.
Wee
haue
now
brought
this
story
to
the
setting
out
against
vs
of
the
sayd
treatise
of
schisme
:
and
for
the
rest
do
referre
you
for
a
larger
discourse
to
the
bookes
lately
printed
and
published
by
some
of
our
brethren
.
Therein
you
shall
finde
that
by
Father
Parsons
practises
,
our
sayd
messengers
no
sooner
came
to
Rome
,
but
within
sixe
or
seauen
dayes
they
were
cast
into
prison
,
and
could
neuer
be
suffred
to
come
to
the
Pope
.
Whilest
they
were
in
prison
,
his
Holynes
Breue
is
procured
for
the
confirmation
of
maister
Blackwels
authoritie
.
Afterwards
the
poore
men
are
set
at
libertie
,
but
kept
asunder
,
and
banished
into
diuers
Prouinces
,
not
to
repayre
into
England
,
vntill
they
should
haue
leaue
from
Rome
.
The
sayd
Breue
commeth
hither
:
wee
being
informed
thereof
,
submit
our selues
to
our
Arch-priest
:
shewing
our selues
to
be
farre
from
schismaticks
;
and
such
was
our
desire
of
peace
,
as
we
were
well
content
to
remit
all
the
former
slaunders
imputed
most
falsely
vnto
vs
.
Besides
,
for
the
auoyding
of
further
contention
,
we
desired
our
Arch-priest
,
(
whome
now
we
reuerenced
as
we
were
bound
in
dutie
)
to
take
such
order
,
as
that
hereafter
there
might
not
be
so
much
as
once
mention
made
of
the
sayd
pretended
schisme
.
Whereunto
he
yeelded
very
willingly
,
and
made
a
Decree
to
that
effect
:
promising
to
be
a
meanes
that
our
sayd
two
brethren
might
be
released
of
their
banishment
.
His
dealing
with
vs
in
this
kinde
sort
did
very
much
comfort
vs
,
because
we
being
men
,
who
still
had
bin
afflicted
,
any
thing
seemed
a
great
benefit
to
vs
.
But
shortly
after
we
well
perceiued
,
that
our
former
appellation
and
sending
to
Rome
with
our
refusall
in
the
meane
time
to
bow
vnto
him
,
did
stick
in
his
stomack
.
For
whether
prouoked
by
the
malitious
Iesuites
,
or
stirred
vp
by
his
owne
pride
,
and
rancor
to
be
reuenged
vpon
vs
,
now
that
we
had
submitted
ourselues
vnto
his
gouernment
,
he
renewed
the
remembrance
of
the
old
sore
,
contrary
to
his
sayd
decree
,
and
that
vnder
the
pretence
of
a
letter
that
should
come
vnto
him
from
Rome
,
from
two
Iesuites
,
Tichborne
,
and
Warford
:
wherein
he
sayd
,
it
was
exprestely
set
downe
,
that
we
were
iudged
in
Rome
to
be
schismaticks
before
the
obteyning
of
the
sayd
Breue
,
in
that
we
did
not
subscribe
to
his
authoritie
,
when
the
Cardinals
first
letters
were
intimated
vnto
vs
.
And
vpon
this
false
ground
(
except
these
two
Iesuites
and
some
one
or
two
more
of
that
crue
had
so
iudged
vs
)
he
writ
his
letters
abroade
to
that
effect
,
as
well
what
forsooth
he
had
receiued
from
Rome
,
(
concealing
the
names
of
the
sayd
two
Machiuilian
Iesuites
)
as
also
that
he
would
receiue
none
to
his
fauour
or
absolue
them
,
which
would
not
acknowledge
that
they
had
sinned
,
and
giuen
a
great
scandale
by
their
sayd
prolonging
to
acknowledge
his
authoritie
.
When
we
heard
hereof
,
it
grieued
vs
much
to
see
the
weakenes
of
our
new
Gouernour
:
but
more
in
that
we
perceiued
what
new
troubles
and
dissensions
would
thereby
insue
.
We
did
write
therefore
both
to
him
and
to
his
assistants
,
that
they
would
be
pleased
,
the
old
controuersie
amongst
vs
might
lye
buryed
still
in
the
graue
of
obliuion
,
and
not
to
be
againe
now
renewed
.
But
they
shut
their
eares
to
our
humble
suites
,
and
reiect
vs
with
contumelious
and
reprochfull
words
,
for
presuming
so
rashlie
(
forsooth
)
to
intermeddle
with
any
thing
that
they
had
resolued
of
.
Notwithstanding
because
they
were
our
brethren
,
and
many
of
them
before
that
time
some
of
our
inferiors
;
we
aduentured
once
againe
to
intreate
this
fauour
at
their
hands
,
that
two
or
three
of
the
best
learned
amongst
them
,
might
be
appointed
to
conferre
of
this
matter
with
as
many
of
vs
:
that
so
the
controuersie
might
be
compounded
,
before
it
brake
out
any
further
.
How
this
was
taken
at
our
hands
,
it
is
scarcely
credible
:
they
tearmed
our
supplication
a
tumultuous
expostulation
,
being
fraught
(
as
they
sayd
)
with
the
forgetfulnes
of
our
duties
,
and
with
the
spirit
of
pride
and
presumption
.
And
hereupon
euen
now
,
that
we
were
become
his
subiects
,
after
we
had
vnderstanding
of
the
Popes
Breue
,
and
looked
to
haue
bin
greatly
cherished
and
defended
from
iniuries
by
the
strength
of
his
soueraigne
authoritie
,
we
are
againe
as
sharply
prosecuted
with
imputations
of
schisme
and
rebellion
as
we
were
before
,
which
caused
vs
to
propound
the
question
in
controuersie
amongst
vs
,
to
the
famous
Vniuersitie
of
Paris
:
hauing
offered
to
them
before
,
but
in
vayne
,
if
it
pleased
them
to
ioyne
with
vs
therein
.
That
worthie
company
after
due
consideration
,
determined
the
matter
on
our
side
.
Whereof
the
Arch-priest
being
informed
,
addresseth
out
his
owne
edict
,
and
condemneth
therein
their
sayd
iudgement
:
inflicteth
great
censures
vpon
those
Priests
that
should
at
any
time
maynteine
that
determination
:
and
spareth
not
likewise
to
mulct
the
laytie
(
ouer
whom
for
ought
we
know
he
hath
no
authoritie
at
all
)
as
many
as
should
incline
to
the
imbracing
and
fauoring
of
it
.
When
we
saw
this
our
Arch-priest
with
his
assistants
thus
peremptorilie
bent
by
strong
hand
to
oppresse
vs
:
and
without
either
conscience
,
or
consideration
of
morall
honestie
to
spreade
abroade
againe
to
our
discredits
their
former
calumniations
,
and
very
grosse
and
palpable
slaunders
:
we
thought
it
our
best
course
if
it
were
but
to
heape
coales
vpon
their
heads
,
to
commend
vnto
them
this
consideration
:
whether
it
might
not
stand
with
their
good
liking
to
send
two
Priests
to
be
chosen
by
them
,
with
two
others
of
ours
to
Rome
to
know
his
Holynes
opinion
and
direction
in
this
cause
so
hotely
impugned
by
them
:
the
same
being
the
assured
rule
for
the
ending
and
finall
determination
of
it
:
adding
,
that
if
we
were
condemned
for
schisinaticks
,
for
delaying
our
obedience
,
as
is
before
expressed
,
till
we
knew
his
Holynes
pleasure
,
we
would
most
willingly
subiect
our selues
to
the
heauiest
censures
that
might
be
imposed
vpon
vs
:
and
if
cleared
,
the
least
satisfaction
that
they
would
thinke
good
to
award
vs
,
should
fully
please
and
content
vs
.
But
this
our
last
suite
was
more
disdained
(
if
it
were
possible
)
then
either
of
the
former
:
and
so
farre
the
Arch-priest
was
from
yeelding
vnto
vs
herein
,
or
to
affoord
vs
otherwise
the
least
shadow
of
his
fauour
,
as
he
cast
abroade
his
decrees
,
that
our
sayd
deferring
to
receiue
his
authoritie
before
the
Breue
came
,
was
schisme
,
and
prohibiteth
any
vnder
grieuous
paynes
,
either
by
word
or
writing
to
affirme
the
contrary
.
Whereupon
we
were
compelled
,
as
hauing
no
other
refuge
at
all
,
to
appeale
againe
to
the
infallible
seate
of
the
holy
Apostle
Saint
Peter
:
thinking
with
our selues
that
thereby
(
at
the
least
till
the
cause
were
decided
)
our
aduersaries
would
haue
forborne
the
prosecution
of
their
malice
against
vs
.
But
the
humor
they
are
possessed
with
,
being
altogether
Iesuiticall
,
that
is
violent
and
implacable
,
they
ceased
not
but
still
continued
,
contrary
to
all
course
of
law
&
iustice
,
euery
day
more
and
more
to
wound
and
oppresse
vs
.
Our
sayd
appellation
subscribed
with
the
hands
of
30.
Priests
,
men
of
good
desert
and
reputation
,
they
tearme
an
infamous
libell
,
and
presently
vpon
the
sight
thereof
,
de
facto
,
do
suspend
and
depriue
tenne
of
them
from
their
faculties
:
eight
of
them
being
prisoners
at
Wisbich
,
and
two
others
,
both
of
them
persons
of
extraordinary
note
and
worth
.
There
hath
bin
of
long
time
an
old
saying
in
England
:
that
set
a
begger
on
horseback
,
and
he
will
ride
a
gallop
:
our
said
new
gouernors
sitting
in
their
thrones
,
and
scorning
that
any
should
refuse
to
worship
them
,
can
finde
no
limits
for
the
stay
of
their
fury
,
but
still
runne
on
from
one
mischiefe
to
an
other
.
For
,
our
cause
thus
depending
,
they
forbid
all
the
lay
Catholicks
to
keepe
vs
company
,
to
relieue
vs
,
or
to
suffer
vs
to
execute
any
spirituall
function
with
them
:
affirming
,
that
whosoeuer
shall
be
present
at
one
of
our
Masses
,
or
assist
vs
therein
,
doth
commit
a
great
sinne
:
and
that
to
receiue
the
sacraments
at
our
hands
,
is
loco
medicaminis
,
to
receiue
a
deadly
poyson
.
None
may
confesse
their
sinnes
vnto
vs
,
and
none
may
heare
vs
preach
,
(
at
the
least
of
those
which
are
to
too
many
)
that
yeeld
themselues
to
the
direction
and
pleasure
of
such
absurd
commaunders
,
and
wicked
condemners
of
their
brethren
,
notwithstanding
we
be
exempted
from
such
their
prohibitions
by
our
appellation
,
and
do
therefore
still
mioy
the
full
libertie
of
our
Priesthood
.
The
course
they
hold
against
vs
,
or
at
the
least
their
stomack
,
may
appeere
vnto
you
,
by
that
which
a
Iesuite
hath
written
concerning
vs
,
to
one
of
his
friends
:
Detest
(
sayth
he
)
my
deere
mother
the
cursed
crue
of
the
disobedient
to
lawfull
authoritie
:
if
you
know
any
,
either
of
our
coate
,
or
of
the
lay
sort
,
that
be
tainted
with
this
pestilent
poyson
,
eschue
his
company
,
as
you
would
auoyd
one
that
hath
a
plague-sore
running
vpon
him
,
assuring
your selfe
,
that
if
such
rebelliow
persons
do
not
submit
their
necks
to
the
yoke
of
their
superiors
,
that
vnlesse
God
shew
them
some
extraordinary
fanour
(
which
in
such
cases
he
vsually
denyeth
to
such
malitious
Rebels
)
their
reuolt
and
Apostasie
from
the
Catholicke
vnitie
,
will
be
the
iust
reward
of
their
obstinacie
and
malapert
opposition
against
their
ordinary
.
God
be
mercifull
vnto
vs
poore
men
:
some
of
vs
are
prisoners
,
and
are
daily
in
the
Magistrates
hands
to
be
cut
off
,
and
finish
our
miseries
at
their
pleasures
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
where
we
should
finde
comfort
,
we
are
dealt
with
,
as
you
see
:
and
all
is
either
because
we
are
readie
to
offer
our
liues
for
the
Catholick
faith
,
or
refuse
,
till
we
may
be
heard
by
the
Popes
Holynes
â–Ş
to
acknowledge
our selues
to
be
Rebels
,
Schismaticks
,
contemners
of
the
See
Apostolick
,
Ethnicks
,
Publicanes
,
Idolaters
,
Apostataes
,
and
what
not
?
because
we
did
not
at
the
first
subscribe
to
our
Archbishops
authoritie
,
but
appealed
as
you
haue
heard
.
Which
acculations
,
we
trust
no
man
liuing
by
learning
or
arguments
shall
be
able
to
prooue
against
vs
:
and
in
the
meane
time
,
God
is
our
witnes
,
how
free
we
are
in
foro
conscientiae
,
from
any
of
these
wicked
imputations
.
In
the
aforesayd
processe
with
these
our
aduersaries
,
some
of
our
brethren
haue
bin
as
carefull
to
defend
vs
from
schisme
by
writing
,
as
they
haue
bin
busie
to
accuse
vs
:
and
amongst
sundry
of
our
discourses
to
that
effâ—Źct
,
two
haue
bin
lately
published
in
print
,
which
we
desire
you
would
procure
:
and
hauing
duly
perused
them
,
then
thinke
and
iudge
of
vs
as
you
shall
finde
cause
.
Now
for
our
conclusion
,
if
any
Iesuitical
humorist
,
shall
blame
or
seeke
to
discredit
vs
,
because
in
the
premisses
of
this
Narration
we
haue
forborne
to
vse
any
sharp
speeches
against
our
common
enemyes
,
we
thinke
it
conuenient
for
the
preuenting
of
their
malitious
collections
,
to
yeeld
vnto
you
our
reasons
thereof
.
First
,
the
story
gaue
vs
no
occasion
so
to
do
.
Secondly
,
we
reteyne
still
the
opinion
which
we
haue
signified
to
his
Holynes
,
that
the
Iesuiticall
persecution
begun
against
vs
,
is
much
more
grieuous
vnto
vs
,
then
that
which
we
are
subiect
vnto
from
the
State
.
Thirdly
,
we
haue
found
by
experience
,
that
the
rayling
course
which
the
Iesuiticall
crue
haue
taken
and
vsed
in
many
of
their
treatises
against
her
Maiestie
:
and
the
proceedings
by
the
lawes
of
the
Realme
:
hath
done
the
Catholick
cause
exceeding
much
hurt
.
Fourthly
,
as
our
case
standeth
,
and
for
ought
we
see
,
if
the
pretended
holy
Fathers
may
haue
their
willes
,
we
shall
be
driuen
to
relye
more
vpon
her
Highnes
fauour
for
our
temporall
reliefe
,
that
we
perish
not
with
famine
,
before
we
be
cut
off
by
her
lawes
,
then
vpon
all
the
world
besides
.
And
lastly
,
howsoeuer
we
dissent
from
the
State
in
the
profession
of
our
Religion
:
yet
we
are
her
Maiesties
borne
subiects
,
and
vassals
,
and
ought
not
for
any
cause
,
as
we
are
perswaded
,
to
withdraw
in
that
respect
,
our
duties
,
loue
,
and
allegiance
from
her
Highnes
,
or
our
natiue
Countrie
:
much
lesse
to
slaunder
,
or
secke
the
cruell
ouerthrow
of
both
,
as
our
trayterous
aduersaries
of
the
societie
,
not
indeede
of
Iesus
,
but
of
the
Diuell
,
and
their
adherents
haue
done
.
And
thus
praying
to
God
with
all
our
hearts
,
to
heape
vpon
her
Maiestie
all
temporall
and
heauenly
blessings
,
and
vpon
our
state
sufficient
wisedome
and
prouidence
,
for
the
good
continuance
of
it
:
and
vpon
our
Countrie
all
prosperitie
and
happines
,
and
vpon
the
Church
a
dayly
increase
of
zeale
for
the
propagation
and
maintenance
of
the
Catholick
faith
,
and
vppon
our
Iesuiticall
aduersaries
such
riches
of
his
mercie
,
as
seeing
the
height
of
their
owne
pride
,
and
the
excremities
of
their
proceedings
,
they
may
become
humble
in
their
owne
eyes
,
and
desist
from
their
very
prowde
Machiuilian
and
cruell
deseignements
:
and
vpon
all
Catholicks
sufficient
grace
to
take
heed
of
those
that
are
the
authors
of
schisme
and
contention
:
delighting
in
nothing
,
but
in
factions
and
nouelties
:
and
vpon
our selues
constancie
to
continue
in
his
obedience
,
and
patience
,
to
be
able
to
indure
whatsoeuer
calamities
shall
happen
vnto
vs
for
our
profession
of
the
truth
,
and
the
discharge
of
our
consciences
:
we
take
our
leaues
,
and
do
heere
end
for
this
time
.

is
hard
to
be
got
:
few
or
none
of
vs
that
are
secular
Priests
could
euer
come
vnto
the
sight
of
it
.
Certaine
abstracts
of
it

We
haue
seene
two

whereof
one
hath
annexed
vnto
it
certaine
obseruations
of

Iesuites

of
themselues
in

both
are

The
inscription
of
the
memoriall
.
A
briefe
declaration
of
the
miserable
state
of
Catholicks
in
England
.
After
the
Preface
,
it
followeth
in
these
words
.
THe
Iesuites
that
are
in
England
,
desirous
either
to
bring
vnder
bondage
,
or
vtterly
to
beare
downe
the
Cleargie
of
the
Church
of
England
,
haue
dared
to
attempt
it
by
a
wonderfull
stratagem
.
First
,
their
will
is
,
that
in
euery
Catholicks
house
,
(
and
such
houses
are
in
steed
of
the
Church
)
either
they
themselues
may
be
the
Pastors
,
or
others
deputed
by
them
in
their
roomes
.
And
if
happilie
there
be
any
,
that
do
deâ—Źy
the
faculties
graunted
by
them
;
or
will
not
take
notice
that
such
assemblies
,
or
companies
of
Catholicks
depend
on
them
;
or
will
not
obediently
(
as
it
were
at
a
beck
)
execute
those
things
,
that
they
haue
commaunded
;
such
shall
be
censured
either
as
Apostataes
,
or
Hereticks
,
or
taynted
at
least
with
some
infection
of
heresie
.
So
holie
,
so
godly
,
so
religious
would
they
seeme
to
be
;
as
nothing
is
holie
,
that
they
haue
not
sanctified
;
no
doctrine
Catholick
,
and
sound
,
that
commeth
not
from
them
;
no
dispensation
auailable
,
that
is
not
graunted
by
them
:
and
which
is
worse
,
they
haue
beaten
into
the
heads
of
the
most
,
that
the
Masse
is
not
rightly
,
and
orderly
celebrated
of
any
,
but
a
Iesuite
.
When
any
of
the
Cleargie
graunteth
a
dispensation
in
any
case
;
by
and
by
there
is
doubt
made
of
his
power
and
authority
;
some
question
ariseth
of
his
life
,
and
conuersation
;
as
if
his
Priesthood
,
and
calling
were
not
certaine
,
or
assured
.
It
is
not
inough
for
the
Cleargie
to
liue
a
godly
,
and
an
holie
life
,
vnlesse
withall
they
will
acknowledge
the
lesuites
to
be
their
superiors
;
thus
some
man
shall
be
tormented
,
another
some
turmoyled
,
a
third
some
troubled
:
for
who
so
gathereth
not
for
and
with
them
only
,
he
shall
be
iudged
altogether
to
scatter
.
And
that
they
may
the
better
set
this
their
deuise
abroeh
,
they
cause
to
be
made
knowne
to
all
men
the
faculties
graunted
vnto
them
by
his
holynes
the
Bishop
of
Rome
;
and
they
giue
it
out
,
that
the
most
vnlearned
Iesuite
doth
farre
excell
the
most
learned
secular
Priest
,
both
in
faculties
,
and
priuiledges
.
And
it
is
noysed
about
,
as
it
were
by
the
common
cryer
that
they
haue
power
from
his
holynes
to
graunt
to
all
,
and
euery
one
,
all
and
singular
their
faculties
;
insomuch
as
it
shall
not
be
lawfull
and
safe
for
any
to
vse
their
priniledges
though
graunted
them
many
yeres
before
from
his
holynes
,
but
with
the
leaue
,
and
consent
of
these
Fathers
of
the
societie
.
And
when
they
do
giue
out
their
faculties
,
they
do
not
bestow
them
on
learned
,
godly
,
or
holy
men
;
but
on
vnlearned
,
vngodly
,
and
irreligious
;
nay
seditious
persons
,
such
as
follow
their
humor
,
stoupe
at
their
beck
,
and
stand
bound
euer
after
vnto
them
.
Further
they
endeuor
,
that
by
all
meanes
possible
,
both
those
almes
which
are
giuen
for
the
reliefe
of
them
that
are
in
prison
,
or
any
other
poore
afflicted
whatsoeuer
;
as
also
whatsoeuer
is
paid
in
cases
of
dispensation
,
may
come
to
their
hands
.
Heretofore
(
when
Priests
had
the
collection
of
these
almes
)
prisons
were
therewith
maintayned
;
the
want
in
Colledges
was
supplyed
;
the
banished
Catholicks
(
whose
goodes
were
forciblie
taken
from
them
by
Hereticks
)
were
yerely
succoured
:
but
now
,
what
is
done
with
them
we
know
not
.
Prisons
and
Colledges
are
depriued
of
them
;
the
banished
haue
them
not
;
the
Priests
see
them
not
:
but
there
are
hired
herewith
seditious
persons
;
deuisers
of
fables
,
slaunderers
of
their
brethren
,
and
skorners
of
the
Saincts
are
herewith
enriched
;
these
,
and
such
as
these
,
receiue
large
stipends
of
their
labours
.
And
yet
so
great
a
masse
of
monies
cannot
be
consumed
,
with
so
small
charges
,
and
expences
,
but
that
the
Fathers
also
bestow
much
vpon
themselues
.
For
they
go
indeed
in
great
gallantrie
;
no
Iesuite
goeth
but
to
visit
any
one
,
or
trauelleth
from
one
place
to
another
,
but
he
is
richly
apparrelled
,
he
is
attended
on
with
a
great
trayne
of
seruants
,
as
if
he
were
a
Baron
,
or
an
Earle
;
which
is
not
necessary
,
but
playnely
ridiculous
and
absurd
.
The
secular
Priests
themselues
do
go
also
Gentlemen-like
because
of
danger
;
but
not
arayed
in
that
sumptuous
manner
,
nor
guarded
with
so
many
attendants
,
as
the
Iesuites
.
They
wrangle
,
and
reproue
the
Priests
garments
,
and
spendings
;
whereas
the
expences
of
one
Iesuite
were
able
to
mayntayne
twentie
Priests
plentifully
,
and
richly
.
Neither
by
this
meanes
also
could
so
great
a
quantitie
of
almes
be
wasted
,
but
that
(
as
the
report
goes
)
much
treasure
is
conueyed
beyond
the
Seas
,
but
to
what
purpose
,
we
know
not
,
vnlesse
it
be
bestowed
vpon
their
bodie
,
their
corporation
,
or
societie
.
Besides
they
desire
(
as
some
conceiue
)
that
England
should
be
conuerted
of
none
but
Iesuites
only
.
For
they
will
admit
no
fellow-laborers
:
and
they
vse
the
same
meanes
they
heretofore
vsed
in
Colledges
,
to
disswade
many
for
the
order
of
their
calling
,
counselling
them
by
all
meanes
to
enter
into
their
societie
;
and
this
they
dayly
attempt
by
flatterie
,
by
gifts
,
and
rewards
,
&
sometimes
by
threatnings
.
They
neuer
send
one
scholler
out
of
England
to
the
Colledge
at
Doway
to
studie
there
,
but
hinder
what
they
may
them
that
are
going
thither
.
They
care
not
for
that
Colledge
,
because
they
cannot
draw
it
into
their
societie
:
nay
they
haue
laboured
by
all
meanes
vtterly
to
dissolue
it
.
Moreouer
,
they
challenge
vnto
themselues
a
spirituall
Monarchie
ouer
all
England
,
as
it
may
appeare
by
a
certain
contention
in
the
prison
at
Wisbich
,
in
which
there
were
,
and
are
in
hold
for
the
profession
of
their
faith

Priests
,
dayly
looking
for
their
death
.
These
liuing
a
long
time
a
godly
,
and
an
holy
life
,
did
eate
altogether
,
studied
altogether
,
vsed
euery
day
to
preach
,
to
dispute
,
to
intreate
of
cases
of
conscience
,
to
expound
the
scriptures
;
and
exercised
the
same
studies
,
as
they
were
wont
to
practise
in
the
Vniuersities
:
all
were
of
one
minde
;
all
of
one
heart
;
all
as
brethren
;
one
bearing
with
another
.
The
towne
of
Wisbich
loued
them
;
all
the
land
praised
them
;
the
hereticks
admired
them
;
the
keepers
of
the
prisons
greatly
affected
them
:
so
that
they
inioyed
euery
day
more
and
more
libertie
.
Their
maintenance
came
to
them
from
all
places
yea
the
very
Ministers
(
though
hereticks
)
very
often
helped
to
reheue
them
.
Many
yeeres
liued
they
in
this
godly
,
holy
,
and
deuout
kind
of
life
,
vntill
a
Iesuite
,
one
Edmunds
by
name
(
inspired
we
know
not
with
what
spirit
)
gaue
to
some
occasion
to
doubt
of
the
well
imploying
of
the
almes
receiued
.
This
foundation
laid
,
he
so
insinuated
himselfe
with
faire
demeanour
and
false
deuises
into
the
hearts
of
many
,
as
that
he
deuided
the
Priests
into
two
parts
,
whereof
the
one
part
drew
to
him
,
the
other
stood
against
him
.
They
vse
also
to
fawne
vpon
men
of
noble
birth
,
especially
if
they
be
rich
,
and
mueigle
them
by
all
faire
meanes
to
sell
all
that
they
haue
,
and
enter
into
their
Societie
.
Women
also
are
induced
by
them
to
become
Nunnes
,
and
to
leaue
such
goods
as
they
haue
,
to
them
.
Which
thing
many
that
are
godly-wise
allow
not
.
For
such
rich
Laitie
(
all
circumstances
considered
)
are
able
to
further
more
the
establishing
of
the
faith
in
England
,
then
the
Iesuites
consider
of
.
For
such
as
they
,
might
giue
maintenance
to
Priests
;
enrich
the
prisons
of
Catholicks
with
their
gifts
;
help
the
afflicted
:
they
may
more
freely
,
and
with
lesse
danger
speak
of
the
Catholick
religion
,
and
faith
;
more
commonly
argue
and
discourse
with
hereticks
.
But
the
Iesuites
consider
not
,
that
these
,
and
such
other
things
may
be
done
,
and
would
be
done
by
them
without
any
difficultie
.
But
in
this
manner
do
they
make
merchandise
of
the
conuersion
of
England
;
thus
do
they
dispose
of
the
last
wils
of
the
sick
;
thus
loue
they
to
intermeddle
with
the
mariages
of
many
,
with
their
temporall
goods
,
and
indeed
with
all
things
:
Alwayes
taking
that
course
with
all
men
,
that
something
happen
to
their
share
,
hauing
minde
indeed
of
nothing
,
but
their
owne
gaine
.
They
skorne
to
come
to
any
one
,
but
where
they
may
be
daintily
,
and
costly
entertayned
:
they
looke
not
after
the
cottages
of
the
poore
,
nor
minister
their
help
to
them
,
be
there
neuer
so
much
need
.
Moreouer
,
they
are
so
delighted
with
equiuocation
,
or
a
subtile
and
dissembling
kind
of
speech
,
as
that
to
the
scandall
of
others
they
are
not
ashamed
to
defend
it
in
their
publick
writings
.
There
were
read
before
the
Iudges
on
the
bench
in
open
Court
,
and
in
the
hearing
of
all
the
people
the
letters
of
a
certain
Iesuite
named
Southwell
,
wherein
equiuocations
were
most
absurdly
defended
,
which
gaue
cause
of
laughter
to
the
hereticks
,
and
occasion
of
scandall
to
the
Catholicks
.
They
take
pleasure
also
to
scatter
rumors
,
and
to
suggest
certaine
nouelties
in
the
eares
of
Catholicks
,
yea
to
forge
and
inuent
things
that
are
not
,
insomuch
as
they
are
commonly
held
now
a
dayes
great
lyars
;
and
it
is
come
to
that
passe
,
that
though
they
sweare
,
men
will
not
beleeue
them
.
All
Vniuersitie
men
,
and
such
as
haue
taken
any
degree
in
schooles
(
and
such
in
our
countrey
are
most
regarded
)
they
hate
most
,
despise
,
contemne
,
and
reproch
.
It
is
a
common
report
in
England
,
that
had
it
not
bin
for
the
pride
,
and
ambition
of
the
Iesuites
,
there
had
eare
this
bin
graunted
some
toleration
in
Religion
.
To
conclude
,
omitting
all
other
things
(
which
are
very
many
)
I
wil
only
rehearse
one
,
which
I
haue
heard
of
many
;
that
it
is
come
to
this
passe
now
,
that
the
Catholicks
stand
in
more
feare
of
the
Iesuites
,
then
of
the
hereticks
.
For
the
hereticks
(
say
they
)
can
but
chasten
the
bodie
only
;
but
the
Iesuites
wound
both
their
bodies
,
and
their
good
name
.
They
do
not
indeed
directly
cause
Priests
to
be
apprehended
,
but
indirectly
.
That
is
,
hauing
spread
some
reports
of
them
,
whereby
their
good
name
is
taken
away
,
so
as
they
stand
suspected
either
of
heresie
,
or
of
some
other
heynous
offence
,
no
Catholick
entertayneth
them
,
and
so
consequently
,
they
are
driuen
to
pouertie
,
how
can
they
escape
the
hands
of
the
hereticks
?
And
albeit
they
lye
in
prison
,
and
bonds
,
and
are
many
wayes
tormented
,
if
they
be
not
crowned
with
the
glory
of
martyrdome
,
they
shal
neuer
be
purged
from
that
former
suspition
,
but
shall
be
accounted
euery
day
more
and
more
,
as
hereticks
.
Certayne
chiefe
points
of
accusations
,
wherewith
many
English
men
haue
iustly
charged
the
Iesuites
vnto
the
Pope
,
and
diuers
Cardinals
:

Articles
of
their
dissension
.
If
any
Priest
haue
a
conuenient
place
of
residencie
,
the
Iesuits
will
not
cease
vntill
they
haue
cast
him
out
,
and
that
by
wicked
meanes
,
by
defaming
him
,
and
bringing
him
into
suspition
.
That
the
Iesuites
are
the
firebrands
of
all
soditions
.
That
the
Iesuites
by
right
or
wrong
seeke
simply
and
absolutely
the
Monarchie
of
all
England
.
They
are
enemies
to
all
secular
Priests
.
They
are
the
causes
of
all
the
discord
in
the
English
Nation
.
They
are
called
of
the
schismaticks
horse-leaches
,
or
bloud-suckers
.
That
Fa.
Parsons
,
and
Sir
Fra.
Inglefeild
Knight
,
deuised
the
complot
to
set
the
Cardinals
Aldobrandinus
,
Caietane
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Cassana
together
by
the
cares
:
and
to
fall
foule
one
vpon
an
other
.
N.
wrote
to
Cardinall
Allen
,
that
Fa.
Holt
stoode
guiltie
,
and
might
be
accused
by
him
of
such
infamous
matters
,
as
he
durst
not
make
mention
of
in
his
letters
.
That
Fa.
Holt
did
not
only
intend
,
but
would
indeede
giue
wretched
England
in
Conquest
to
himselfe
and
his
fauorites
.
That
Fa.
Holt
and
his
companions
had
gathered
such
an
infinite
masse
of
money
from
the
Catholicks
in
England
,
for
dispensations
,
or
vnder
the
colour
of
expending
it
to
their
vses
,
as
many
credibly
affirmed
it
to
exceede
the
summe
of
50000.
pounds
english
,
which
make
two
hundreth
millions
of
Italian
Scutes
.
That
the
Iesuites
haue
driuen
certaine
excellent
men
to
desperation
,
inforcing
them
to
leaue
England
,
and
to
enter
into
some
religious
order
,
or
to
take
some
other
miserable
course
.
That
the
Iesuites
in
England
by
certayne
cunning
sleights
,
hauing
gotten
into
their
hands
all
authoritie
,
good
estimation
,
and
all
the
stock
or
treasure
of
money
,
do
what
they
list
at
home
and
abroade
.
They
thrust
out
,
and
let
in
,
hire
,
and
buy
,
intercept
letters
,
and
maintayne
factions
as
they
please
them selues
.
That
Fa.
Holt
in
Belgia
,
and
Parsons
in
Spayne
,
haue
continued
these
nine
whole
yeres
,
to
the
great
gricfe
of
the
Nobilitie
and
Clergie
:
and
haue
procured
themselues
to
be
continued
the
Kings
seruants
.
That
there
are
many
things
in
the
dealings
of
these
Fathers
which
offend
good
men
:
viz.
the
contempt
of
Nobilitie
:
the
turning
away
of
Students
from
the
Colledge
at
Doway
:
the
attempting
to
bring
the
most
flourishing
kingdome
of
England
into
a
Prouince
:
the
polling
and
pilling
of
Catholicks
in
England
,
vnder
the
colour
of
holy
vses
by
intollerable
fraude
:
a
continuall
enterdeale
with
hereticks
,
and
men
of
suspected
religion
.
There
must
be
care
taken
that
the
Priests
in
England
may
haue
either
equall
or
greater
faculties
then
the
Iesuites
,
seeing
their
pride
by
reason
of
their
large
faculties
is
fenced
(
as
it
were
)
with
authoritie
.
That
the
English
Nobles
which
are
in
Belgia
,
wonder
that
his
Holynes
suffreth
Iesuites
in
England
,
who
are
the
firebrands
of
all
contentions
especially
in
any
place
of
authoritie
,
and
that
these
ten
yeers
and
more
,
notwithstanding
the
miserable
clamor
and
lamentations
of
our
Nobles
and
Gentlemen
,
who
be
oppressed
vnder
the
yoke
of
slauery
and
their
tyrannie
.
The
Iesuites
do
withstand
any
mans
comming
out
of
England
into
Belgia
,
vnlesse
they
know
him
prepared
to
write
,
to
speake
,
to
do
what
they
will
:
and
that
he
sweare
to
be
ruled
by
them
:
and
herein
they
exercise
notorious
tyrannie
.
Other
infinite
matters
of
this
nature
are
omitted
,
which
are
conteyned
in
the
letters
that
are
kept
vpon
record
:
Taken
out
of
letters
dated
at
Rome
,
8.
Nouember
1597.
Concerning
the
whole
Societie
,
and
the
Iesuites
at
Rome
.
THe
Iesuites
are
so
ambitious
,
as
not
content
with
the
bounds
which
their
Fathers
placed
,
in
their
vnsatiable
desire
they
haue
alreadie
swallowed
vp
Kingdomes
and
Monarchies
.
That
being
led
by
this
ambition
,
they
go
about
to
change
the
forme
of
the
Hierarchie
,
or
supreme
gouerment
of
the
auncient
Church
by
disordered
packing
.
That
this
pride
and
ambition
of
the
Iesuites
,
is
the
cause
of
seditions
not
only
in
England
,
in
the
very
prisons
there
,
in
the
Low
Cuntries
,
and
in
Italy
,
but
all
the
world
ouer
.
That
this
their
ambition
hath
taken
footing
not
only
in
Prouinces
and
Cities
,
but
also
in
priuate
families
:
it
separateth
brethren
one
from
an
other
,
and
the
husband
from
the
wife
,
inflaming
them
with
rancor
and
enuie
one
against
another
.
That
men
must
giue
way
to
the
time
(
as
in
the
controuersie
at
Rome
)
least
while
they
set
a
damme
against
the
streame
of
this
their
pride
,
the
raging
course
thereof
do
burst
asunder
all
the
bands
of
honestic
and
modestie
,
and
carry
away
headlong
many
with
the
force
thereof
.
That
if
this
ambition
do
remayne
vnpunished
,
the
age
that
is
to
come
shall
see
that
it
will
bring
into
bondage
not
only
Prelates
,
but
the
very
Princes
and
Monarches
themselues
,
whom
yet
she
flattereth
in
her
infancie
.
They
beseech
the
Pope
that
he
would
lay
the
axe
to
the
roote
of
the
tree
,
and
cut
off
this
pride
of
the
Societie
,
spreading
it selfe
farre
and
neere
,
least
if
once
it
arme
it selfe
with
the
authoritie
of
his
Holynes
,
it
powre
forth
a
full
reuenge
vpon
all
others
to
their
destruction
,
and
make
an
infinite
slaughter
and
massacre
of
soules
,
which
they
haue
already
begun
to
attempt
in
wretched
England
,
to
the
great
decay
of
the
common
cause
.
That
the
Priests
of
England
can
finde
in
their
banishment
no
harbour
safe
enough
from
this
their
ambition
,
vnlesse
they
haue
first
receiued
the
marke
of
this
beast
in
their
forehead
.
That
the
Pope
can
commaund
nothing
in
all
his
Mandates
but
the
Iesuites
finde
meanes
to
frustrate
it
by
the
secular
power
,
to
the
great
scandall
of
many
.
That
the
reuenge
of
these
Iesuites
hath
neuer
an
end
but
with
the
death
of
their
aduersaries
,
and
their
reproch
after
their
death
.
That
the
Iesuites
(
meaning
them
of
Rome
)
do
vse
to
intercept
all
manner
of
letters
of
all
men
whosoeuer
,
not
forbearing
the
packets
neither
of
the
Cardinals
nor
of
Princes
.
N.
calleth
God
and
his
Angels
to
witnes
,
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
Nobilitie
and
Clergie
in
England
both
at
home
and
abroade
do
bewaile
with
sighes
and
teares
their
miserable
estate
,
in
that
they
suffer
more
grieuous
things
vnder
these
new
Tyrants
the
Iesuites
,
then
in
their
dayly
persecutions
.
That
the
persecution
of
the
Iesuites
is
more
grieuous
to
the
Catholicks
then
of
the
hereticks
in
England
,
in
this
respect
,
because
they
suffer
vnder
them
for
their
vertue
,
but
vnder
these
in
the
name
of
treacherie
and
vnfaithfulnes
.
The
Iesuites
haue
so
persecuted
some
Priests
that
are
now
Martyrs
,
as
that
their
death
hath
bin
imputed
partly
to
the
hereticks
,
and
partly
to
the
Iesuites
.
That
it
is
a
knowne
position
among
the
Iesuites
(
diuide
and
gouerne
)
and
therefore
those
Fathers
at
Rome
do
both
stirre
vp
,
and
maintayne
dissensions
.
That
the
Iesuites
Confessors
are
wont
to
abuse
the
consciences
of
their
penitentiaries
to
their
owne
commoditie
.
That
of
300.
Priests
which
haue
entred
into
England
,
scarce
sixe
or
seauen
haue
fallen
away
.
But
of
twentie
Iesuites
eight
haue
reuolted
:
which
is
a
notable
slaunder
,
seeing
there
can
not
be
found
one
of
them
to
haue
reuolted
which
were
sent
in
by
the
Societie
.
That
the
Iesuits
in
the
Low-countries
are
so
cruell
,
as
that
they
haue
not
only
brought
many
excellent
men
to
a
miserable
end
,
but
haue
reproched
them
after
their
death
.
That
nothing
doth
so
vex
the
English
Catholicks
as
the
contempt
and
hatred
of
the
President
that
now
is
:
and
the
slaunderous
reproch
falsely
imputed
to
the
renowned
Cardinals
,
Tolet
,
and
Alexandrinus
.
That
the
Iesuites
do
eagerly
wayt
for
the
death
of
the
Pope
,
and
of
the
renowned
Cardinall
Tolet
,
that
they
might
bring
vpon
all
those
that
slaughter
and
bloudshed
,
which
they
long
since
assayed
against
as
many
as
haue
dared
to
oppose
themselues
against
their
tyranny
.
The
chiefe
remedie
wherein
the
state
of
all
controuersies
at
Rome
dependeth
is
,
that
the
affaires
of
all
the
Colledges
be
committed
to
an
assemblie
of
honorable
Cardinals
that
are
regular
,
both
to
looke
into
,
and
to
determine
of
.
For
there
is
nothing
that
these
tyrants
more
feare
,
then
that
they
should
be
compelled
before
the
Cardinals
to
render
an
accompt
of
their
dealings
.
Neither
doth
any
thing
giue
them
greater
libertie
of
their
insolencie
,
then
that
they
are
free
welnie
from
being
called
before
any
iudgement
seate
.
See
you
see
(
quoth
N
)
my
letters
secretly
and
effectually
,
because
the
enemy
,
if
he
be
not
preuented
,
flattereth
himselfe
in
an
assured
hope
of
a
Monarchie
.
While
the
iron
is
hote
,
strike
:
worke
out
your
busines
while
your
Patrones
liue
.
Your
enemies
seeke
but
to
gayne
the
time
;
and
if
they
once
set
free
themselues
from
the
streights
wherein
they
are
yet
incombred
,
they
will
(
belieue
me
)
domineere
most
tyrannously
.
The
Iesuites
seeke
also
the
gouerment
of
the
Colledge
at
Doway
,
neither
feare
they
any
bridle
wherewith
they
can
be
curbed
,
but
only
,
that
the
Iesuite
Rectors
should
be
made
subiect
to
the
regular
Congregations
.
The
Iesuites
by
their
Machiuilian
practises
go
about
to
procure
the
dissolution
of
the
Colledge
at
Doway
.
The
tyranny
and
insolencie
of
the
Iesuites
is
horrible
,
especially
of
those
that
liuing
in
Belgia
,
do
reproch
,
disgrade
,
depriue
whome
they
list
:
and
I
feare
(
quoth
he
)
do
indirectly
betray
some
vnto
the
enemy
.
The
Censure
of
Paris
before
mentioned
for
our
instification
,
in
suspending
our
obedience
to
maister
Blackwels
authoritie
,
vntill
we
knew
his
Holynes
further
pleasure
.
IN
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1600.
vpon
the
third
day
of
May
,
it
was
proposed
to
the
faculty
of
the
Diuines
of
the
Vniuersity
of
Paris
,
that
by
the
letters
of
a
most
illustrious
Cardinall
,
an
Ecclesiasticall
Superior
was
constituted
in
a
certaine
Kingdome
with
the
title
and
dignity
of
an
Arch-priest
,
to
haue
authority
and
iurisdiction
ouer
all
other
Priests
residing
in
that
Kingdome
.
This
Cardinall
did
also
declare
in
those
his
letters
,
that
he
did
it
according
to
the
wil
and
good
liking
of
the
Pope
.
Notwithstanding
,
many
of
these
Priests
refused
to
subscribe
to
the
authority
of
the
sayd
Arch-priest
,
before
he
had
obteyned
letters
from
the
Sea
Apostolick
,
conteyning
the
tenor
of
his
confirmation
,
as
well
because
that
kind
of
gouernment
was
altogether
new
in
Gods
Church
,
and
hitherto
neuer
heard
of
,
that
an
Arch-priest
should
haue
charge
of
a
whole
Kingdome
,
and
such
iurisdiction
ouer
euery
Priest
in
that
Realme
:
then
also
,
for
that
it
seemed
to
them
by
certaine
words
of
the
Cardinals
letters
,
that
the
Arch-priest
and
his
authority
was
graunted
by
false
information
:
then
lastly
,
because
they
noted
great
partiality
in
the
choyse
of
the
Arch-priest
and
of
his
counsellors
.
Vpon
which
and
some
other
reasons
,
these
Priests
sent
messengers
to
the
Pope
,
for
laying
open
vnto
him
these
their
difficulties
:
and
therewithall
to
signifie
their
greatest
readynes
,
as
in
this
matter
,
so
euermore
in
all
other
,
to
obey
his
Holynes
.
The
Arch-priest
and
those
who
are
of
his
side
accuse
the
other
Priests
of
schisme
,
in
that
they
deferred
to
obey
the
Cardinals
letters
,
which
moreouer
he
sayd
were
written
according
to
his
Holynes
minde
and
pleasure
.
The
Question
then
is
,
whether
these
Priests
be
schismaticks
?
and
if
not
,
whether
they
did
commit
at
the
least
some
grieuous
sinne
?
The
head
and
chiefe
men
of
the
faculty
of
Diuinity
in
Paris
chosen
out
of
the
whole
company
,
assembled
together
in
the
house
of
the
Senior
Bedle
in
the
yeare
and
day
aboue
written
,
after
full
and
maturest
consideration
had
of
the
matter
,
gaue
this
censure
.
First
,
that
those
Priests
,
who
vpon
the
aboue-named
causes
deferred
to
obey
,
were
no
schismaticks
.
Secondly
,
that
they
committed
no
sinne
at
all
in
that
fact
in
it selfe
considered
.
By
commaundement
of
our
Deane
and
masters

and
selected

the
whole
facultie
of

Reuerendi
Patres
&
Fratres

WHereas
after
the
condemnation
at
Rome
of
the
two
Embassadors
together
with
all
their
complices
here
;
and
also
the
Pope
his
Breue
confirming
the
Cardinals
letters
,
as
validas
ab
initio
,
and
vtterly
condemning
and
inualidating
all
things
done
to
the
contrary
:
Some
vnquiet
persons
haue
secretly
sought
to
the
Vniuersity
of
Paris
,
and
thence
pretend
to
haue
or
haue
receiued
a
resolution
,
that
they
neyther
incurred
schisme
,
nor
any
sinne
in
their
proceedings
here
against
mine
authority
.
Whereas
also
it
is
manifest
that
after
notice
had
from
their
Ambassadors
of
the
Pope
his
expresse
will
made
knowne
vnto
them
partly
by
their
imprisonment
,
partly
by
the
testification
of
the
two
Cardinals
,
Caietan
,
and
Burghesius
,
to
whome
their
cause
was
committed
:
which
also
the
aforesaid
two
Ambassadors
did
certifie
hither
by
their
letters
,
exhorting
all
heere
to
the
quiet
acceptance
of
their
superior
,
as
being
ordayned
by
his
Holynes
speciall
knowledge
and
absolute
order
,
without
dependence
of
their
consent
:
that
yet
notwithstanding
this
perfect
knowledge
they
repugned
and
stood
still
obstinate
in
their
disobedience
:
so
that
the
pretence
of
seeking
to
know
the
Pope
his
will
was
altogether
friuolous
in
those
which
remayned
heere
.
And
thereby
it
appeareth
,
that
the
information
giuen
of
the
cause
to
the
Parisians
was
altogether
wrong
,
and
(
as
it
may
be
thought
)
fraudulent
.
For
so
long
as
they
refused
not
their
superior
appoynted
by
the
knowne
will
of
the
Pope
,
they
neuer
were
condemned
as
schismaticks
:
and
since
and
whilest
they
acknowledged
their
superior
they
were
neuer
censured
,
but
only
as
seditious
in
opposing
against
the
Pope
his
order
,
and
in
disturbing
the
wished
peace
and
tranquility
of
the
Cleargie
and
Laity
of
the
Catholicks
,
and
yet
could
neuer
be
freed
from
one
of
these
two
crimes
.

Georgius
Blackwellus
Archipresbyter
Angliae
&
Protonotarius
Apostolicus
.
Areioynder
of
Maister
Darrell
Deane
of
Agen
,
in
defence
of
the
censure
of
Paris
,
against
M.
Blackwell
.
Reuerendi
Patres
&
Fratres
.
THere
is
come
vnto
my
hands
the
sentence
of
M.
George
Blackwell
Arch-priest
,
in
condemnation
of
the
censure
and
iudgement
of
the
Catholique
,
auncient
,
and
renowned
Vniuersity
of
Paris
.
Wherein
was
also
thrust
a
very
peremptory
Prouiso
,
but
most
necessary
to
auoyd
reprehension
:
that
no
man
should
vndertake
eyther
by
word
or
writing
to
defend
the
sayd
censure
.
I
deemed
it
not
impertinent
in
few
words
to
runne
ouer
the
sayd
sentence
,
to
shew
in
part
the
insufficiencie
of
it
,
as
well
for
the
honor
of
the
sayd
sacred
faculty
of
Paris
(
which
for
the
worthy
schollers
it
hath
brought
forth
,
is
highly
esteemed
throughout
all
Christendome
)
as
for
the
aduertisement
of
the
abouenamed
Arch-priest
,
that
he
may
hereafter
be
somewhat
better
aduised
ere
he
thunder
out
his
censures
:
and
do
not
vainely
perswade
himselfe
,
that
he
can
either
tye
the
toongs
,
or
stay
the
pennes
of
men
by
any
such
vnreasonable
writ
,
vnlesse
he
take
some
more
sober
and
considerate
course
of
proceeding
.
And
for
bresities
sake
to
omit
the
friuolous
preambles
that
are
partly
vntrue
and
wholy
to
small
purpose
:
the
first
of
importance
is
,
where
he
sayth
,
That
the
information
giuen
vnto
the
Parisians
,
was
altogether
wrong
,
and
(
as
it
may
be
thought
)
fraudulent
.
His
reason
is
:
for
that
they
,
who
liked
not
his
election
at
the
first
stood
still
obstinate
in
their
disobedience
,
after
perfect
notice
of
the
Popes
breue
in
confirmation
of
it
,
sent
them
by
their
Ambassadors
(
who
for
honors
sake
(
you
must
thinke
pardye
)
he
alwayes
so
tearmeth
)
how
sound
and
true
this
assertion
is
,
all
England
(
as
I
think
)
knoweth
right
well
.
Sure
I
am
,
the
common
fame
spread
in
all
countryes
betwixt
England
and
Rome
,
(
where
the
English
are
resident
)
approued
also
by
sundry
letters
out
of
England
,
and
from
other
coasts
,
was
,
and
is
cleane
contrary
:
viz.
that
they
,
who
before
suspended
their
iudgements
attending
his
Holynes
resolution
,
as
soone
as
they
were
by
the
Popes
breue
certified
of
his
pleasure
,
submitted
themselues
to
the
Arch-priest
,
and
acknowledged
his
authority
.
And
that
I
stay
not
about
needlesse
proofes
in
so
notorious
a
matter
,
the
very
next
words
after
in
this
his
rescript
,
declare
as
much
.
Mary
I
must
needs
confesse
,
that
they
are
so
clarkly
and
cleaâ—Źely
set
downe
,
that
they
may
perhaps
couer
some
pretie
equiuocation
.
These
be
his
words
.
For
so
long
as
they
refused
not
their
superior
,
appoynted
by
the
knowne
will
of
the
Pope
,
they
were
neuer
condemned
as
schismaticks
:
and
since
,
whilest
they
acknowledged
their
superior
,
they
were
neuer
censured
,
but
only
as
seditious
,
in
opposing
against
the
Popes
order
&c.
The
sense
in
common
vnderstanding
must
needs
be
:
that
at
first
,
so
long
as
they
had
not
certaine
notice
by
the
Popes
breue
of
his
will
,
and
therefore
refused
to
accept
the
new
Magistrate
,
they
were
not
condemned
as
schismaticks
.
Afterward
they
vnderstanding
of
the
Breue
,
acknowledged
their
superior
:
and
therefore
were
not
censured
as
schismaticks
,
but
only
as
seditious
.
By
the
latter
part
of
which
sentence
,
it
is
most
euident
and
cleare
by
his
owne
expresse
declaration
:
that
after
certaine
knowledge
of
the
Popes
commaundement
,
they
acknowledged
their
superior
;
and
therefore
were
not
censured
,
but
only
as
seditious
.
What
can
be
more
contrary
to
that
which
he
sayd
before
?
There
,
he
auoucheth
boldly
,
that
after
certaine
notice
giuen
of
the
Popes
will
,
they
stood
still
obstinate
in
their
former
disobedience
here
,
that
after
intelligence
had
,
they
acknowledged
their
superior
.
I
dare
not
aske
you
,
whether
part
of
this
flat
contradiction
you
will
beleeue
,
because
both
cannot
be
true
:
for
you
must
either
hold
(
contrary
to
the
rules
of
reason
)
both
parts
to
be
true
,
or
else
discredit
him
,
that
within
the
compasse
of
a
few
lines
affirmed
them
both
.
But
no
maruayle
:
for
I
am
almost
astonished
,
to
see
so
many
foule
ouersights
in
this
one
poore
sentence
.
Let
that
contradiction
passe
:
and
marke
an
other
in
the
same
end
of
the
sentence
.
They
are
censured
only
as
seditious
,
sayth
he
:
in
opposing
against
the
Popes
order
.
What
order
was
that
,
I
pray
you
?
Was
it
any
other
,
then
that
they
should
receiue
Maister
Blackwell
for
Arch-priest
,
and
obey
him
?
No
surely
:
how
then
did
they
oppose
against
that
order
,
who
in
that
very
time
acknowledged
their
superior
,
as
in
the
same
period
he
hath
himselfe
set
downe
?
What
a
wilfull
peruersenes
is
this
,
and
blinde
desire
of
slaundering
others
,
to
censure
those
for
seditious
,
whom
they
know
and
do
confesse
to
haue
acknowledged
their
superiors
.
But
not
to
stand
vpon
these
contrary
points
(
which
giue
but
small
grace
vnto
a
graue
sentence
)
I
may
not
omit
that
strange
proposition
conteyned
in
the
former
part
of
the
sentence
.
It
is
:
that
they
who
liked
not
of
his
authority
,
were
not
,
before
they
receyued
certaine
notice
thereof
,
by
his
Holynes
breue
,
condemned
as
schismaticks
.
This
is
so
apparantly
false
,
and
so
contrary
vnto
euery
ones
knowledge
,
that
I
much
muse
what
he
meaneth
,
and
where
the
starting
hole
,
and
euasion
lyeth
.
If
he
vnderstand
only
,
that
they
were
neuer
condemned
by
sentence
of
iudge
,
it
may
then
passe
:
for
so
indeed
they
could
neuer
haue
bin
iustly
.
But
to
say
,
that
he
and
his
fellowes
did
not
so
call
them
,
so
report
of
them
,
and
so
write
of
them
,
and
in
a
rude
rayling
pamphlet
in
latine
so
denounce
them
to
the
wide
world
,
were
(
as
I
take
it
)
to
make
open
profession
,
that
he
had
made
shipwrack
of
verity
,
modesty
,
and
honestie
.
Hauing
thus
briefely
examined
the
preamble
,
I
come
now
to
the
sentence
itselfe
:
wherein
I
will
yet
be
more
briefe
.
Me
thinks
he
seemeth
not
a
little
to
abuse
that
great
authority
committed
to
his
charge
:
ad
aedificationem
non
ad
destructionem
.
For
following
his
letters
patents
,
and
the
right
order
of
correction
,
he
is
to
punish
enormous
faults
after
they
be
committed
,
vsing
also
before
brotherly
admonition
:
to
try
whether
in
the
spirit
of
lenity
,
the
party
may
be
amended
.
But
he
contrarywise
goeth
about
by
new
decrees
to
make
faults
(
which
passeth
his
Commission
for
ought
that
I
euer
yet
could
see
)
and
to
punish
faults
without
any
warning
most
grieuously
.
But
you
will
say
:
that
it
is
for
some
heynous
cryme
,
or
else
he
would
neuer
haue
bin
so
terrible
and
hasty
to
reuenge
?
well
:
let
vs
heare
what
enormous
fault
it
is
?
Mary
sir
,
if
any
maintaine
in
word
or
in
writing
directly
or
indirectly
,
the
graue
,
Catholicke
and
learned
iudgement
of
the
famous
Vniuersitie
of
Paris
,
although
it
be
vpon
due
information
truly
giuen
(
for
so
much
his
words
seeme
to
import
)
when
he
saith
:
whether
it
be
truly
giuen
or
forged
,
whether
vpon
true
information
or
otherwise
)
if
he
be
of
the
Cleargie
,
he
is
presently
to
be
suspended
,
and
to
lose
all
his
faculties
(
the
greatest
penaltie
that
he
could
lay
on
him
)
if
of
the
laitie
:
he
is
ipso
facto
,
interdicted
.
I
passe
ouer
,
that
for
a
light
offence
,
or
rather
none
at
all
,
he
hath
ordained
a
grieuous
punishment
,
contrarie
to
that
rule
of
Iustice
:
Proratione
delicti
,
sit
plagarum
modus
.
But
this
would
I
faine
know
,
for
the
instruction
of
many
others
:
how
he
commeth
by
the
authoritie
to
interdict
any
of
the
Laitie
.
Sure
I
am
,
that
in
his
letters
patents
,
and
the
Popes
breue
,
he
hath
no
authoritie
giuen
him
,
but
ouer
Priests
only
:
whom
neither
can
he
interdict
,
much
lesse
any
of
the
Laitie
,
ouer
whom
he
hath
no
iurisdiction
at
all
,
for
ought
I
haue
yet
heard
:
let
him
then
take
heede
,
that
casting
out
those
censures
which
belong
not
to
him
;
he
doe
not
himselfe
incurre
the
true
censures
of
his
superiours
:
and
for
censuring
others
vniustly
,
fall
into
the
iust
indignation
and
displeasure
of
almightie
God
.
But
he
taketh
it
otherwise
:
and
deemeth
the
Vniuersitie
of
Paris
to
haue
failed
much
.
Let
that
be
his
opinion
.
But
whether
is
likelier
to
faile
,
trow
you
:
either
one
Bachelor
in
Diuinitie
,
or
many
Doctors
:
one
as
yet
raw
,
and
little
practised
in
the
discipline
of
the
church
:
or
many
,
of
long
time
daily
conuersant
in
Ecclesiasticall
affaires
:
one
hasty
man
(
as
it
seemeth
)
and
in
the
heate
of
faction
:
or
diuers
graue
aduised
men
,
free
from
all
passion
and
affection
?
If
he
thinke
by
the
priuiledge
of
his
titles
,
to
be
any
whit
holpen
:
the
Vniuersitie
of
Paris
haue
in
their
facultie
present
diuerse
Protonotaries
Apostolicke
and
Archpriests
,
and
many
greater
officers
of
their
bodie
,
as
Archdeacons
,
Chancellors
,
or
Vicar
generals
:
that
I
may
omit
Bishops
,
who
are
commonly
resident
in
their
Diocesses
.
But
perhaps
some
will
say
;
albeit
our
Archpriest
be
surmounted
in
all
other
respects
:
yet
in
reasons
and
proofes
,
he
passeth
them
all
.
Let
vs
therefore
come
vnto
his
reasons
which
are
three
in
number
,
and
barely
auerred
;
but
not
one
of
them
proued
.
The
first
is
,
that
the
censure
of
Paris
is
preiudiciall
to
the
dignitie
of
the
Sea
Apostolike
.
Proue
that
good
sir
.
For
without
proofe
,
that
assertion
will
be
taken
for
fond
:
and
I
in
a
word
,
will
proue
it
also
to
be
false
:
for
they
say
,
it
was
neither
schisme
nor
sinne
in
that
doubtfull
case
of
the
Archpriests
election
,
to
seeke
vnto
the
Popes
holines
for
certaine
resolution
,
where
they
are
so
farre
off
from
derogating
any
whit
,
from
the
dignitie
of
the
Sea
Apostolicke
,
that
they
doe
highly
commend
it
;
acknowledging
the
right
of
appellation
from
all
inferiour
courts
,
to
appertaine
vnto
the
Court
of
Rome
,
which
is
a
speciall
prerogatiue
,
whereby
we
proue
against
heretikes
,
the
supremacie
of
that
Sea
.
This
first
worthie
argument
then
,
is
drawne
perhaps
a
contrario
sensu
.
The
second
is
,
that
their
censure
was
contrarie
to
the
Popes
breue
.
As
iust
as
Iermaines
lippes
.
For
their
censure
onely
was
:
whether
it
were
schisme
or
any
sinne
,
before
there
was
any
breue
,
and
wholy
abstracting
from
the
breue
:
How
could
it
then
be
opposite
to
that
,
with
which
it
did
nothing
at
all
meddle
,
or
any
whit
concerne
?
The
third
and
last
reason
is
:
that
their
censures
were
contrary
to
the
sentence
of
the
two
Cardinals
.
No
such
matter
good
sir
:
For
the
Cardinals
sentence
was
onely
against
two
by
name
,
and
for
no
other
matter
,
as
the
sentence
expresseth
,
then
for
that
they
had
exercised
controuersies
with
some
other
men
of
their
owne
order
(
which
also
how
true
it
is
,
let
them
iudge
,
that
know
their
conuersation
)
therefore
they
thought
it
expedient
,
that
they
should
not
returne
into
the
Countrie
for
a
season
without
leaue
.
Now
let
them
consider
who
are
of
higher
capacitie
then
my selfe
:
how
this
sentence
is
opposite
vnto
the
censure
of
Paris
:
that
in
doubtfull
causes
to
appeale
or
sue
vnto
Rome
,
is
neither
schisme
nor
sinne
:
for
my
wit
is
too
simple
to
reach
vnto
it
.
Well
to
draw
towards
an
end
.
After
that
this
good
man
had
in
ouer
great
haste
taxed
the
censure
of
the
Vniuersitie
of
Paris
,
as
preiudiciall
vnto
the
dignitie
of
the
Sea
Apostolicke
,
and
contrarie
to
the
Popes
breue
and
Cardinals
sentence
:
he
forsooth
(
and
if
you
lift
to
beleeue
him
)
telleth
you
that
he
meaneth
not
to
disgrace
that
most
famous
Vniuersitie
.
Surely
,
if
he
thought
,
that
he
could
disgrace
it
,
he
deceiued
himselfe
fowly
.
For
the
grace
,
credit
,
and
renowne
of
the
vniuersitie
of
Paris
,
little
dependeth
vpon
the
verdit
of
so
base
and
meane
a
Magistrate
,
and
contemneth
the
bald
vnlearned
reprehensions
of
such
simple
Clarkes
.
If
they
meane
in
substantiall
arguing
,
to
coape
with
so
honourable
a
companion
:
let
them
put
downe
plainely
the
case
,
as
it
was
proposed
vnto
them
,
with
their
censure
,
and
withall
in
Latine
(
as
they
may
vnderstand
it
)
without
passion
disproue
it
like
Diuines
:
and
then
it
may
be
,
if
they
see
any
thing
worth
the
answering
;
that
they
will
giue
sufficient
satisfaction
to
the
world
of
their
censure
.
In
the
meane
season
it
must
needes
bee
small
honour
vnto
the
Archpriest
and
others
of
his
band
,
to
oppose
themselues
against
the
most
learned
,
catholicke
and
famous
Vniuersitie
of
Paris
,
as
he
himselfe
acknowledgeth
it
:
who
doe
still
auouch
,
and
will
vphold
their
censure
for
iust
and
true
in
any
place
,
wheresoeuer
it
shall
be
called
in
question
:
which
me
thinkes
should
much
moue
all
good
Catholickes
,
not
so
stifly
to
backe
that
side
against
other
innocent
men
,
who
after
so
long
and
fruitfull
trauels
for
our
Countrey
,
are
now
for
nothing
(
as
it
were
)
mightilie
wronged
in
their
good
names
and
credits
.
I
for
my
part
,
who
alwaies
haue
most
tenderly
loued
the
Catholicke
cause
,
am
most
sory
to
see
such
pitifull
dissension
about
trifles
:
and
doe
most
earnestlie
in
visceribus
Domini
nostri
Iesu
Christi
,
request
and
require
the
Archpriest
,
and
those
that
are
ouer
passionate
on
that
part
;
to
content
themselues
with
the
submission
of
others
vnto
the
Popes
Holines
Breue
(
which
was
a
high
poynt
of
perfect
obedience
,
considering
what
slender
audience
was
giuen
vnto
those
whom
they
sent
)
and
leaue
off
that
fruitles
iangling
,
whether
they
sinned
before
or
no
:
or
what
kind
of
sinne
it
was
.
Who
would
not
haue
thought
,
but
that
vpon
the
receite
of
the
Popes
Breue
,
and
obedient
acceptance
thereof
,
all
would
haue
been
quiet
and
appeased
:
one
forgiuing
another
,
if
ought
before
had
passed
amisse
:
and
all
ioyning
together
in
defence
of
each
others
credit
and
good
name
,
which
was
and
is
most
necessarie
for
the
maintenance
of
the
common
cause
and
comfort
of
all
Catholicks
.
Well
at
the
length
yet
,
for
Gods
honour
,
and
the
holy
Churches
good
,
and
your
owne
quietnes
,
returne
vnto
that
Christianlike
and
brotherly
peace
and
charitie
,
so
much
desired
of
all
entire
and
deuout
Catholicks
:
which
that
our
louing
Sauiour
may
giue
you
grace
to
doe
,
my
humble
prayers
haue
alwaies
been
,
and
shall
neuer
,
I
hope
,
fayle
.
Thus
in
all
dutie
and
affection
,
recommending
my selfe
to
your
good
prayers
,
I
desire
to
be
partaker
of
your
fruitfull
trauailes
.
At
Agen
the
4.
of
August
.
Your
humble
brother
and
seruant
in
our
Lord
:
Iohn
Dorel
.
We
were
here
constrained
to
breake
off
,
for
feare
of
some
danger
by
an
intended
search
:
so
as
we
haue
omitted
M.
Blackwels
letter
,
mentioned
pag.
49.
with
answere
vnto
it
:
which
together
with
some
other
matters
you
shall
receiue
ere
it
bee
long
.
In
the
meane
while
we
commit
our selues
to
your
faithfull
prayers
:
and
you
by
ours
,
vnto
Almightie
God
.
