Jesuits – Charles H Spurgeon

The cat having a long time preyed upon the mice, the poor creatures at last, for their safety, contained themselves within their holes; but the cat finding his prey to cease, as being known to the mice that he was indeed their enemy and a cat, deviseth this course following, namely, changeth his hue, getting on a religious habit, shaveth his crown, walks gravely by their holes; and yet perceiving that the mice kept their holes, and looking out, suspected the worst, he formally, and father-like, said unto them, ‘Quodfueram non sum, frater, caftul aspice fonsum: O brother, I am not as you take me for; I am no more a cat; see my habit and shaven crown.’ Hereupon some of the more credulous and bold among them were again, by this deceit, snatched up; and therefore when afterwards he came, as before, to entice them forth, they would come out no more, but answered, ‘Talk what you can, we will never believe you; you bear still a cat’s heart within you.’ And so here the Jesuits, yea, and priests too, for they are all joined in the tails, like Samson’s foxes: Ephraim against Manasseh, and Manasseh against Ephraim, and both against Judah.
