, better then euer did _Ribadeneira_) transposing the letters of _Robertus Parsonius Iesuita_, found this _anagramme_, _Personatus versuti oris abi_: the wit-foundred drunkard, _Henry Garnet_ (who did not according to the Counsell of [ar]_Paul_ vse _vino modico_: but as [as]_Paulinus_ pretily _modio_) that lecherous treacherous Arch-priest, Arch-traitor, Arch-diuell in concealing, if not in contriuing: in patronizing, if not in plotting the powder intended massacre, is returned a Saint from beyond the seas with [at]_a sancte Henrice intercede pro nobis_: his action is iustified, his life commended, his death honoured, his miracles and memorie celebrated by that _Ignatian_ spirit, ([au]_portentum nominis portentum hominis_, hauing a great deale of name, though a very little modestie) _Andreas Eudaemon Ioannes Cydonius_: but notwithstanding his apologie, the saintship of _Henry Garnet_ is so buffeted by the replies and antilogies of our accuratlie learned diuines, as that his straw face will hereafter hardly be worth a straw. _Catesbie_, _Winter_, _Rookwood_, and the rest of the Cole-saints and hole-saints (who laboured in the diuels mine by the Popes mint) are numbred among the holy ones also: Babilon and Egypt praise God in them, and for them.
