           relates
           his

           Sacred
           Majesty
           ,
           being
           in
           a
           sleep
           I
           have
           dreamed
           that
           I
           was
           in
           heaven
           ,
           (
           Wel
           said
           Jesuite
           ,
           thou
           mayst
           dream
           of
           heaven
           ,
           that
           is
           all
           thou
           art
           like
           to
           have
           )
           and
           there
           I
           saw
           the
           glory
           of
           all
           the
           Saints
           ,
           and
           among
           them
           
             Herme
             ,
             Negildus
             ,
          
           and
           many
           other
           Kings
           of
           
             Spain
             ,
          
           with
           
             Philip
          
           your
           Father
           ,
           whose
           glory
           may
           be
           your
           Majesties
           incouragement
           ,
           I
           saw
           also
           of
           all
           religious
           Orders
           some
           ,
           but
           above
           all
           
             Ignatius
          
           was
           most
           glorious
           with
           his
           train
           of
           Saints
           ;
           but
           prying
           earnestly
           amongst
           them
           ,
           and
           casting
           a
           carefull
           eye
           about
           all
           the
           Corners
           of
           that
           capacious
           Court
           ,
           I
           could
           see
           no
           Dominican
           Saint
           ,
           which
           hath
           made
           me
           Judge
           that
           surely
           their
           lives
           here
           upon
           earth
           are
           unworthy
           of
           eternall
           life
           in
           glory
           ,
           and
           that
           their
           ambition
           to
           be
           great
           here
           ,
           especially
           about
           your
           Majesty
           ,
           is
           cause
           of
           their

           Thus
           having

           that
           by
           some
           chief
           Devils
           I
           was
           carried

           the
           corners
           thereof
           ,
           where
           I
           saw
           many
           Kings
           damned
           for
           their
           wicked
           lives

           unjust

           their
           subjects

           whose
           damnation
           I
           hope

           prove
           a
           terrour
           to
           your

           there
           also

           bin
           of

           far
           from
           my
           mouth
           ,
           I
           dreamed
           that
           neer
           unto
           the
           gates
           of
           hell
           I
           saw
           a
           Coach
           driving
           furiously
           ,
           and
           in
           it
           your
           Majesty
           with
           many
           of
           your

           here
           present

           &
           that
           the
           Count
           of
           
             Olivares
          
           did
           drive
           the
           Coach
           .
           I
           hope
           it
           will
           but
           prove
           a
           dream
           ,
           and
           that
           none
           about
           your
           Majesty
           will

           drive
           your
           soule
           by
           wicked
           Counsels
           to
           that
           dismall
           house
           of

           and
           eternall
           ruine
           .
           Further
           I
           saw
           many
           Fryers
           of
           mine
           own
           Order
           damned
           ,
           yea
           &
           of
           all
           other
           Orders
           with
           them
           ,
           beside
           Bishops
           ,
           Abbots
           ,
           Prelates
           ,
           and
           many
           Priests
           for
           lewd
           and
           carnall
           lives
           ;
           yet
           I
           must
           confesse
           ,
           that
           in
           all
           the
           places
           I
           had
           gone
           through
           ,
           I
           saw
           not
           one
           Jesuite
           ,
           which
           made
           me
           wonder
           that
           they
           all
           should
           live
           so
           holily
           that
           none
           of
           them
           should
           goe
           to
           hell
           .
           But
           being
           at
           the
           gates
           ready
           to
           come
           out
           ,
           I
           demanded
           of
           some
           chief
           devils
           ,
           whither
           they
           had
           no
           Jesuites
           
           in
           their
           dark
           and
           horrid
           dungeons
           ;
           and
           unto
           me
           they
           replyed
           ,
           they
           had
           more
           of
           them
           then
           of
           any
           other
           Orders
           ,
           and
           that
           if
           I
           would
           goe
           back
           ,
           I
           should
           see
           the
           place
           and
           number
           of
           them
           .
           I
           went
           back
           ,
           and
           at
           the
           furthest
           part
           of
           hell
           was
           shewed
           unto
           me
           ,
           a
           Wel
           covered
           with
           a
           stone
           of
           a
           vast
           and
           mighty
           bignesse
           ,
           and
           for
           the
           taking
           of
           it
           up
           Legions
           of
           Divels
           were
           gathered
           together
           ;
           the
           Well
           being
           opened
           ,
           I
           saw
           a
           bottomless
           pit
           burning
           with
           fire
           and
           brimstone
           ,
           wherein
           were
           thousand
           thousands
           of
           Jesuites
           ;
           And
           further
           demanding
           why
           they
           were
           kept
           in
           hell
           by
           themselves
           under
           more
           restraint
           of
           so
           waighty
           a
           stone
           then
           others
           .
           Answer
           was
           made
           by
           some
           chief
           devils
           ,
           that
           they
           feared
           the
           Jesuites
           power
           and
           liberty
           more
           then
           all
           others
           ,
           and
           that
           as
           in
           the
           world
           where
           they
           have
           power
           ,
           they
           are
           Masters
           of
           Kings
           ,
           people
           and
           Laws
           to
           subvert
           and
           ruine
           all
           ;
           so
           if
           they
           should
           in
           hell
           give
           Jesuites
           liberty
           ,
           &
           not
           keep
           them
           under
           great
           restraint
           ,
           they
           would
           there
           also
           become
           Masters
           ;
           and
           as
           in
           the
           world
           they
           rule
           by
           breeding
           rebellion
           and
           sedition
           ,
           so
           if
           power
           and
           liberty
           were
           given
           to
           them
           in
           hell
           ,
           they
           would
           to
           eternally
           racking
           torments
           adde
           a
           further
           fire
           of
           mutiny
           ,
           faction
           and
           sedition
           .
           Thus
           much
           affrighted
           with
           the
           sight
           of
           so
           many
           damned
           Jesuites
           ,
           &
           fearing
           they
           should
           rise
           up
           and
           master
           all
           hell
           before
           the
           Well
           were
           covered
           again
           ,
           I
           made
           hast
           to
           depart
           .
           I
           was
           not
           far
           gone
           out
           ,
           when
           like
           as
           father
           
             Florentia
          
           in
           the
           way
           ,
           I
           saw
           heaven
           also
           opened
           ,
           and
           looking
           carefully
           where
           the
           Dominicans
           were
           ,
           that
           could
           not
           be
           seen
           by
           
             Florentia
          
           in
           his
           dream
           ,
           I
           saw
           that
           at
           the
           furthest
           part
           of
           heaven
           ,
           they
           were
           hid
           under
           our
           Ladies
           mantle
           ,
           and
           that
           as
           in
           the
           world
           they
           serve
           her
           most
           ,
           so
           in
           heaven
           they
           have
           protection
           under
           her
           glorious
           garment
           and
           mantle
           .
           Thus
           
             Torres
          
           having
           delivered
           his
           dream
           freely
           ,
           went
           on
           to
           preach
           suitably
           against
           the
           Jesuites
           over
           ruling
           power
           in

           .
           The
           Duell
           being
           ended
           between
           these
           two
           dissembling
           dreamers
           ,
           the
           event
           followed
           that
           
             Torres
          
           was

           with
           other
           his
           brethren
           were
           stopped

           and
           with
           great
           care
           and
           vigilancy
           their
           too
           great

           prevented

           Thus

           Gentle
           Reader

           with

           indeed
           they

           but
           according

           to

           Being
           come
           to

           began

           might
           be
           in
           by
           reason

           the
           greatnesse
           of
           the
           Marquesse

           friends
           ,

           cause
           must
           needs
           bee

           On
           the
           other
           side
           I
           weighed
           the
           service
           of
           my
           Country

           eat

           protection
           I
           enjoy
           ,
           and
           resolved
           that
           no
           danger
           could
           be
           
           great
           that
           I
           should
           undergoe
           ,
           nor
           death
           more
           glorious
           the
           what
           I
           should
           suffer
           for
           the
           Common-wealth
