TO THE CHRISTIAN READER.
THou hast here (gentle Reader) an Edict and Censure, published by the State of France, against the Booke of FRANCIS SVARES, intended for answere to his MAIESTIE; which as it is not the first taste they haue giuen to the world of their mis∣like of sundry Positions maintayned and defended by the Iesuites; so neyther is this the first borne of my Labours, which thy courteous acceptance hath entreated from mee, of exposing to thy view in thy natiue language, sundry nar∣rations and learned Treatises set forth in French. The printed Copie hereof as it came to my hands, I haue subioy∣ned; that thou maist see this Spanish Goliah, or Popish Champion, inuading the King of England, Armado-like, brought to confusion before hee commeth to grapple with his enemie. This is hee who neyther daunted to see LESSIVS beaten, nor BECANVS cast into the fire of Purgatorie, lifteth vp his arme against the Lords An∣noynted.
Now to thee, Romish-affected whosoeuer thou art, be∣hold your SVARES, Sidus Hispanicum, imò & Iesui∣ticum;
Page [unnumbered]
The Load-starre of Spaine, and glory of his Order, censured, not for his priuate opinion, but for a common tenent of the Iesuites: some there are, who through fauour to the Man and his Order, haue not feared to in∣curre the displeasure of his Maiestie, censure of our State, and danger of the Lawes and Statutes of this Land, in maintaining the doctrine of this Booke: but of the me∣liora spero, I am better conceited: assuring my selfe that seeing these and the like Doctrines finde no better enter∣tainment with these learned French-men (as zealous for the Catholike Faith as thy selfe) neyther the report of their learning, the high commendations of their zeale and gra∣uitie, nor the vsurped title of the Catholike Faith, shall henceforth lull thee asleepe to forget thy duty to thy King and Country; but reddere quae sunt Caesaris Caesari, & quae sunt Dei Deo, teach thee to giue vnto Caesar those things which are Caesars, and vnto God those things which are Gods: and stop thine eares against the Circean Language of this late-sprung-vp Imposters; And in ad∣miration as heretofore some certaine Catholikes haue done, cry out, Good God, that such a Societie of men, after so many scandals and foule deserts of theirs in FRANCE, and else-where, for PRINCE-KILLING SEDITION, &c. can thus be of credit in ENGLAND? A. C. to his dis-Iesuited Kinsman, pag. 72. And so I leaue this and the rest, commended to thy best acceptance.
Farewell.
Thine I. B.
