Anno 1613.

About this time came into Spain the Latin History of Monsieur de Thou, President of Parliament a great favourer of Hereticks and Enemy to Catholicks. He neither spares the Popes, nor Kings of France, being an utter Enemy to the House of Guise, once the great stay of that Crown. He is sufficiently stuffed with Falshoods, and was prohibited at Rome in the Year 1610. Soon after in Spain it was order'd to be purged. A French Man writ learnedly against him, and calls himself John Baptista Gallus, which seems to be a feigned Name, none daring publickly to write against a Person so great in Power, as a President. A false Catholick does more harm than an open Heretick, as says S. Bernard.
