{48} The rule is as follows:—“If any one is endowed with the talent of writing books conducive to the common good, and shall compose any such,—he ought not to publish any writings unless the General shall first see them, and cause them to be read and examined, so that they may come before the public if they seem good for edification, and not otherwise.”—Const. vii. iv. 11. {49} For this and many similar passages see Dalton’s “Jesuits.” {55} Pope Clement XIV. said, “Our will and pleasure is that these our letters should, _for ever and for all eternity_, be valid, permanent, and efficacious, . . . and be inviolably observed by all and every whom they do or may concern, _now or hereafter_, in any manner whatever.”—21st July, 1773. Pius VII. reinstated the Order, “notwithstanding any apostolical constitutions and ordinances, especially the Brief of Clement XIV., of happy memory . . . which _we expressly abrogate_, as far as contrary to the present order.”—7th August, 1814. {57} Some good illustrations of the morality of the Jesuits are given in a book called “Cases of Conscience by Pascal the younger.”—_Bosworth_. {59} Hume’s History. {60} Dalton on the Jesuits. {62} Isaiah xxix. 13. {63a} “The Spiritual Exercises.” Dolman, 1847.
