THE JESVITS PATER NOSTER.  

O Mighty Philip King Of men  
we always with a faithful heart,  
Confess we are thy children dear,  
And eke acknowledge that thou art,  
Paternoster   

All jesuits for thy worthy gifts  
Which unto us from thee did spring,  
Do sing this song continually  
Blessed be thou O mighty King,  
Qui es in coelis   

Ravilliack from a cursed race  
So well by us instructed first,  
For massacring the King of France  
Instead of being still accursed,  
Sancttificetur   

This blow great Philip may declare,  
We are thy friends most constantly,  
And that throughout the world we'll spread,  
Maugre thy greatest enemy.  
Nomen tuum.   

Thy most immoderate desire,  
Of rule and government to gain  
And thy design most wonderful  
Over all other Kings to reign  
Adueniat.   

Some men whom envy overcomes  
Do much condemn thy greedy mind  
But by the right of thy desert  
 
  

O puissant King of matchless power,  
Whose name with reverence we adore:  
What wilt thou have? wish, and command  
Speak only this, and say no more.  
fiat.   

And then strait way, our holy troop  
Shall strive who shall be most free-wild  
To do his best without constraint  
That through the world may be fulfilled.  
voluntas tua.   

Such great attempts to undertake,  
The wrath of God thou needst not fear  
For we have power in our hands  
To make thee even as happy here  
sicut in coelis.   

We have the gift of flattery  
T'enchant thy foes, and under feet,  
To trample them, and never cease  
Till each lie wrapped in a sheet,  
& in terra.   

For thee our Princes we betray,  
And widow Robbers are we all:  
We do disturb our countries peace  
And this is that which we do call  
panem nostrum quotidianum.   

Think nothing hard which we propose,  
Many prevails both day and night:  
If thou in all things wilt abound,  
And wrong done by us gain thee right  
Da nobis.   

There are amongst us of all sorts,  
That can by treasons king's annoy,  
Whereby we gather all the wealth  
Which in our houses we enjoy.  
hody.   

If some say we are covetous,  
O King believe not what they say:  
But let thy justice then take place,  
And let them be condemned to die.  
& demitte   

For they are souls of small devotion  
Which Satan to himself retains,  
And for to judge them Hogonotes  
The knowledge thereof appertains  
Nobis   

These Politicians being believed,  
Alas! from us all credit's gone:  
But sure they all are Heretics  
Which do divulge to every one  
debita nostra.   

But such as only give their mind  
To pray to God both night and day,  
And enemies are to Hypocrites  
They are not fit in Court to stay  
sicut & nos.   

With Kings and Ladies we frequent  
Being very watchful of their states,  
And of their goods, and of their souls:  
But as for poor and needy mates,  
dimittimus.   

Philip show favour unto us,  
We have done many a wicked action:  
And sure except thou secure us  
We never shall give satisfaction  
debitoribus nostris.   

If our designer descried be  
A due all plots whereon we muse,  
To live upon necessity,  
Even in such sort as good men use  
et ne nos induca.   

Th'occasion now which France presents  
(Within her kingdom King being dead)  
Of a young king and a Regent Queen,  
Hath caused our fathers to be lead  
in tentationem.   

Philip thou knowest well that France,  
Doth wish us evil for thy cause:  
Let not thy greatness suffer her  
On us to execute her Laws,  
sed libera nos.   

We never yet have say led thee,  
Hold it as done, whatsoever we will,  
Thou ought not to be ignorant,  
That all of us are tempted still  
a malo   

God make thee able O great Prince,  
(Following vows jesuitical)  
To make one province of the world,  
●nd consummate thy actions all,  
Amen.    

THE AVE MARIA TO THE Queen of France.  

WHen judas with a kiss betrayed his Lord,  
He said, all hail: the jesuits will arise  
To kill thee (as thy King) a deed abhorred)  
Speaking unto thee in most humble wise  
Ave Maria   

These banished persons which through treason drew  
the dead king's tooth, with a most shameful doom  
Were punished: but at length was got anew  
(To draw his heart) a pardon sent from Rome  
Gratia plena.   

Venice hath wisely from her land expelled  
Traitors and Traitors wicked brood for a ye,  
Discords true Tender boxes which there dwelled,  
Which you must also do that we may say,  
Dominus tecum.   

O blessed Queen if thou effect  
This deed which to thy subjects hearts gives ease,  
Confirming rest whereof there's such defect,  
Then shall be said of her enjoying peace,  
Benedicta tu   

They seem most fair without, but are within  
Devils incarnate, Hippocrites, Truths foe:  
Their words are chaste, their deeds are Sodoms' sin  
And do amongst themselves as others do  
In mulieribus.   

If France do see (according to her vow)  
Her land of Treason plotters quite made free,  
Which good states by false Doctrines overthrow  
With one consent the Lord shall praised be,  
Et benedictus.   

These jesuits banished, truth restored is,  
Faithful obeisance thereby is procured,  
'tis the repose, and Frances happy bliss,  
'tis the sole means whereby may be securde  
Fructus ventris tui.   

This deed achieud, you to your son shall prove,  
A blessed mother: who to God shall pray  
That you with Christ may dwell in heaven above,  
And with good hearts true subjects all shall say,  
Amen.
