THE ANSWER.

THey do questionlesse intend it: for the preferment of some, for a while at the first: otherwise they had no pollicy in them (for I doubt not of their ingratitude further then to serue their turnes withall.) First for that some of their greatest aduersaries of the temporall Lords, as the Lord Dacre, &c. are no way to be bearded out, but by their ioyning with some such honourable persons, as may and will make the Iesuites quarrell theirs, against him for their owne aduantage. Secondly, for that it cannot otherwise be, but that there are many secret promises, with bonds, vowes and protestations deepely made of sundry great and high preferments to those that now are sticklers for them. Thirdly, for that they haue receiued large summes of sundry great persons alreadie: and therefore must repay them vpon other mens lands, &c. Fourth∣ly, for that they are not able to win, nor yet keepe this so mighty a Mo∣narchie, but by the ayde of such, &c. But yet shall none of these be so ad∣uanced, but that they shall stand at the Iesuites deuotion: as now the Arch∣priest doth, to continue so long, and no longer then is for their turne, and that they shall be ruled and subiected vnder them.
