Yea for my own part I am persuaded, that the Papists were as much afraid of King Charles and the Grotian design, as of any thing that of long time hath been hatched against them. They are not all of a mind at home. The French and moderate party no doubt applauded the design, and liked such writings as S. Clara's, and would gladly have married ⟨p. 328⟩England and France in Religion. But others (the Italian, Spanish Jesuited party) might easily foresee what danger was in brewing for them. Had France, England, Sweden, Denmark, and the German Lutherans agreed together, to bear down the Calvinists as unreconcilable on one side (as Grotius intimates it necessary) and the Italians and their adherents that set up the Pope above a Council, on the other side, it would have made the Pope afraid, as no doubt he was. For though he was glad that we would draw nearer him, and make him the Head in any sort, yet he knew not how to stop so great an inundation as was like upon the union to over-flow him. And hence was the malice of the Jesuits against the life of the King (and withal that he was fain into such hands where he was like to do them little service.) Secret. Windebank's Letter recited by Prin, ubi sup. tells us that it was the Jesuits that were the death of Father Leander, and so were the Enemies of Francis. S. Clara and his Book, (which caused it to incur a Roman Censure) So that with one part of them that is the best way, which the other is more afraid of then of Protestants. We see it by the Jansenian contest. We see it in that Cassander, Erasmus, Vives, &c. are excellent Catholics with some of them, and Heretical and vile with the rest.
