Parsonius Iesuita_, found this _anagramme_, _Personatus versuti oris

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

his vnspeakeable goodnesse toward vs and our posteritie) broken their
snares, and deliuered our soules out of that horrible gunpowder pit;
these bellowing Buls of Basan, and Canon-mouthed hell-hounds would haue
made on this day such a roare, that all Christendome should haue felt
