was also attributed to Scioppius, _Mysteria Patrum Jesuitarum_. In
1725, was forbidden a treatise bearing the rather vague title _Cura
Salutis, sive de statu vitae mature ac prudenter deliberandi methodus_.
It had been published in Vienna in 1712, and had been utilised as
a proselyting tract in behalf of the Jesuit Order. In 1646, was
forbidden in Spain a volume by the Jesuit Solier, printed in Poitiers,
under the title of _Trois très excellentes prédications prononcées au
jour et fête de la béatification du glorieux patriarche le bien-heureux
Ignace_. The volume had been denounced before the Sorbonne by the
Spanish Dominican Gallardo as scandalous, blasphemous, and heretical.
As an example of the blasphemy, Gallardo cites a sentence in which
the author claims that Ignatius had, with a piece of paper bearing
his written name, worked more miracles than Moses and as many as the
Apostles. In 1752, was placed upon the Index a volume by Marcus Fridl,
presenting a record of the miraculous life of Mary Ward, founder of
the English Society of the _Jesuitissae_. With this, was condemned
another biography of Mary Ward by Unterberg, printed in Tübingen in
1735, and an account of the Order by Khamms. The Order had been founded
in England early in the 17th century on the model of the Order of the
Jesuits. The counsellor of Mary Ward’s _Jesuitissae_ was the Jesuit
Roger Lee. The Order never secured an authorisation or confirmation
from the Pope, but houses of it were established in Belgium, Germany,
and Italy. In 1636, the principal and her chief assistants were
arrested and brought to Rome where, after a trial, their Order was
formally condemned and they were then released. New houses were,
however, shortly after instituted in England and one in Munich, and, in
1703, the rules of the Order were approved and confirmed by Clement XI
at the instance of the Elector of Bavaria.
