Saith he [The whole Christian world doth acknowledge the prediction which the University of Paris doth foresee in two several Decrees they made Anno 1565. When the Society of Jesuits did labour to be members of that University: Hoc genus hominum natus est ad interitum Christianae Reipubliae & subvertionem literarum. They were the only cause of the troubles which fell out in Muscovy, when under pretence to reduce the Latin Church, and plant themselves, and destroy the Greek Church, the poor King Demetrius and his Queen, and those that followed him from Polonia were all in one night murdered by the monstrous Usurper of the Crown, and the true progeny rooted out. They were the only cause that moved the Swedes to take Arms against their lawful King Sigismund, and chased him to Poland: and neither he nor his successors were ever able to take possession of Sweden. For the Jesuits intention was to bring in the Romish Religion, and root out Protestants. 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. They have been the cause of civil wars in France, during all which time moving the French King to take Arms against his own subjects the Protestants, where innumerable people have lost their lives, as the siege of Rochelle and other places will give sufficient proof. For the Jesuits intentions were to set ⟨p. 315⟩their society in all Cities and Towns conquered by the King, and quite to abolish the Protestants. They were the cause of the murder of the last King of France. They were the only projectors of the Gunpowder Treason, and their Penitents the actors thereof. They were the only cause (namely Father Parsons) that incensed the Pope to send so many fulminate Breves to these Kingdoms, to hinder the Oath of Allegiance and lawful Obedience to their temporal Prince, that they might still fish in troubled waters.
