“Treason was the Jesuits’ proprietary thing . . . since they set foot in this
land there never passed four years without a most pestilent and

Trial of the English Provincial
Jesuit Henry Garnett
“With the continual attempt of these pertinacious wretches [Jesuits]
against the liberties of England, and the lives of Elizabeth and James I,
every English reader is familiar: the names of Crichton, Garnett, Parry,
Cullen, Gerard, and Tesmond, successively engaged in the design of
assassinating the protestant queen, or in the attempt to blow up our
English Solomon and all his parliament, will for ever perpetuate their
abhorrence in England . . . ” {2}

“The power of the church exercised over sovereigns . . . is held by
divine right and whoso resists it rebels against the King of kings and
Lord of lords [the Pope].” {3}
