Yet this I may well say, that if their own secular Priests are to be believed, (as Watson and many more) It is their Jesuits that have set many Nations in those flames, whose cause the world hath not observed.

They were the only cause that moved the Polonians to take Arms against the said Sigismund, because they had persuaded him to marry two sisters, one after the other; both of the house of Austria. They have been the sole cause of the war entered in Germany since the year one thousand six hundred and nineteen, as Pope Paulus 15. told the General of their Order, called Vicelescus, for their avarice, pretending to take all the Church lands from the Hussites in Bohemia to themselves; which hath caused the death of many thousand by sword, famine and pestilence in Germany.
