The anatomie of popish tyrannie wherein is conteyned a plaine declaration and Christian censure, of all the principall parts, of the libels, letters, edictes, pamphlets, and bookes, lately published by the secular-priests and English hispanized Iesuties, with their Iesuited arch-priest; both pleasant and profitable to all well affected readers.

Aduiso. VIII.

Of the great, strong, and mightie frends, of the Iesuites and seculars.

THe Iesuits thinke it is vnknown, vnder whose wings the arch-priest liues shrowded, or to and from whome the letter was sent on father Gerards behalfe, to wish her (after some few complements and thankes for the token shee lent him,) to keepe her Iewell (the said Gerard) well, &c. Or who they be, that plie and plead for the Iesuites vnder-hand; or by whome they are backt, to be so bould as they are both in prison and abroad; to make their vaunt, that they haue moe & greater friends, both in y^e English & Scottish court, then the seculars haue; more then halfe na∣ming some particular Nobles and others, in high estéeme and authority vnder her maiestie, that are secretly entered into league with them on the spanish behalfe. These words are set downe, quodl. 7. art. 2. page. 188. Againe in an other place, it it plainly written; that the Earle of Essex, was so∣licited to be the Kinge of Spaines close pensioner, for furde∣ring of the inuasions. quodl. 7. art. 2. pag. 189 A Iesuite priest was sent from Parsons to the said Earle of Essex, to moue him to take a pension of the King of Spaine priuatly for the aduancement of his designements. quodl. 5. art. 8. pag. 150. In an other place they write bouldly, that foure semina∣rie priests were altogether at supper, with a noble person, a Lord of high renoune; who would not sit downe, vntill they all were set and placed before him. quodl. 3. art. 1. page. 51. In an other place, it is thus written; these two noble per∣sons

are now most earnest persecutors of the Iesuites and Arch-priests sedition, falsehood, and faction. quodl. 4. art. 7. page. 126. In an other place thus; and other like speaches he vsed of him, to an honorable Earle who told me it. quod. 4. art. 9. page. 132. In an other place thus; Parsons, in his bookes affirmeth the infortunat Howard of Norfolke, to haue béene one and the chiefe cause of the ouerthrow both of the Church and common wealth, yet with whome hee and his haue had▪ (I will not say haue, videant ipsi,) more in∣ward and close dealing, for the aduancement to the crowne by marriage of the ladie Arbella. &c. and other means then with any other house and familie. quodl. 7. art. 9. page. 212. This is a worthy and a very golden aduiso. For by it, hee that hath but one eye may sée, what a daungerous kind of people the Iesuites and the seculars bee. For to say no∣thing of their practises with the late Earle of Essex, nor of that tender and deare familiaritie, which they haue with many of the nobilitie; this is a thing that ma∣keth me sigh and grone, when I remember it; viz. That some nobles and others in high esteeme and authoritie vn∣der her maiestie; are secretly entered into league with the Iesuites, on the behalfe of the King of Spaine, for the longe intended conquest of this land. This, this, is it, which can not but grieue and wound euen to the heart; all true hear∣ted English, that shall heare the same. Not the seminaries doubtles of themselues, but the holy Ghost enforcing them thereunto, haue reuealed this notable stratageme. Yea, the seculars doe acknowledge thus much themselues, where they write in this maner; God hath most straungly and in very indeed (as it may bee termed,) miraculously reuealed the truth which longe hath béene hidden. quodl. 8. art. 9. pag 267. Thus we sée, the Priests haue discouered long hidden traytors, and detected many notorious treasons: yet not in∣tending good thereby to Quéene Elizabeth, but to their owne persons in their combat with the Iesuites. I trust her maiesties wise and faithfull counsellers, will haue due cō∣sideration of this aduiso. pauca sufficiunt sapienti.
