The secret policy of the Iansenists, and the present state of the Sorbon. Discovered by a doctour of that faculty, who having learnt Iansenisme when he studied divinity, vnder a master that taught it there publickly, has been since disabused, & followes the Catholick party. / Translated out of the French copie.

The second Proof.

First who knows not, that the Jansenists teach heresy, since their doctrine has been condemned for heretical, & their Books for∣bidden as Luthers & Calvins were? It is also true, that the new Sorbonists, approve, fa∣vour, & protect their errours. Monsieur R. who goes vnder the name of Montalte; speaks it plainly, in his first Provincial Letter, pag. 2. of the Colen Edition 1657. in thes termes. When Monsieur Arnauds second Letter, was examined in the Sorbon three score & eleven Do∣ctors, stood vp for him. And in his third Let∣ter, pag. 37. The examiners were by this means, says he, freed from the importunity of thes trouble∣some Doctors, who took a pleasure to refute all their reasons, & to produce Books to convince them of falshood, To summon them to answear, & to force them to a non plus. And a litle after, he goes on thus They are sufficiently persuaded, that thos that are in their wits, will make more of the judgment of the 70. Doctors, who could get nothing by de∣fending Monsieur Arnaud, then of 100 others, who had nothing to loos by condemning him. Now if threescore & eleven Doctors, defend Mon∣sieur Arnauds heresies, who is now the head of the Jansenists: If they defend them in the

most famous Assemblies of the Sorbon: If they quote Authors to maintain them: If they bring arguments to confirme them, & refute the contrary arguments, so farr as to pretend to convince their adversaries of fal∣shood, & put them to silence: Is it not easy to conclude, that they are wholly addicted to thes heresies? that they are obstinately tied to them? that they espouse them for their own proper doctrine? Especially since they had rather, expose themselves to the Popes curses, & the Kings indignation, who commands them to be censured, then to quit them, & permit the sound part of the Sor∣bon to condemn them.

Of this number are the five Doctors, whom Montalte in his first Letter pag. 3. cals Indifferent, for if they stood not for the Catholicks they were consequently for the Jansenists: For ther is no neutrality in Reli∣gion: It is Christ JESVS his infallible word. He that is not with him is against him: Ther is no midle way to walk in, between Faith, & articles directly opposite to Faith. Why then did not the pretended Indifferents, side with the Clergy, the King, the Pope, the whol Church, to defend the Faith, according to the obligation of their oath, as they are Do∣ctors, but because they were mislead by the

Jansenists? So that if we reckon wel with Montalte, behold 86. Sorbon Doctors in∣fected with Jansenisme.
