But this is not all. Abundance of Papists tell us of a story how Calvin hired one in Geneva to take on him dead, that he might have the honour of raising him from the dead. This the Jesuite Thyraeus de Daemoniacis writes, and many others, and it goes among them for a currant truth; and all from the report of Bolseck. But, as God would have it, Pap. Massonius confuteth this also, and saith, that his Master Baldwinus knew nothing of it, who lived at Geneva, and after turned Papist, and Calvins enemy: and other reasons he giveth to disprove this and the other slanders that were raised of Calvin, saying, that they were but scriptores plebii, maledicendi studio, &c. vulgar Writers, that study or love to reproach or speak evil, that vend these things. And so much shall serve against the Papists Lies against Luther and Calvin.
If you would see more of that heap of Lies confuted, which the Marquess of Worcester gave in to King Charles, read Mr. Chr. Cartwrights Reply to them, where part of them (and but part) are detected.
And as they have done by these, so by others also. When ⟨p. 198⟩Beza was eighty years of age, a false report came to the Papists that he was dead. Whereupon Claudins Puteanus with his Jesuitical Companions wrote a Book, that at his death he turned Papist and renounced his Religion: so that the old man (that lived seven years longer) was fain himself to write against them, to prove that he was not dead, nor turned Papist: These be the means by which men are reconciled to the Church of Rome.
