We must be content, therefore, with only superficial information upon the subject; but there is enough in the undoubted avowals of the Society to amaze the conscience of any honest mind. It is true that we are able to examine merely its authorized documents as prepared to meet the world’s eye, and that when we have been through them all we shall know but a fragment of the system; but at the same time we shall learn enough to discover that, in order to the attainment of its object, the Society is prepared to set aside all the dictates either of conscience or of Scripture; and we shall also obtain ample evidence to convict the Church of Rome of the awful guilt of abandoning honesty in order to secure power, and of sacrificing moral virtue in order to attain supreme dominion. ORGANIZATION. The Members of the Society are arranged in the following classes:—{10} The Professed, who, in fact, constitute the real body of the Order. The property of the Society is vested in them, and they only have a right to attend a general congregation, or to vote at the election of a General. They are all priests, and none are admitted till the age of twenty-five. They are distinguished from the other classes by having taken four instead of three vows, the rest having vowed three things, viz., obedience, poverty, and chastity, but the professed having added a fourth promise, viz., absolute obedience to the Pope, as the Vicar of Christ. Spiritual Coadjutors, whose office is to assist the professed in spiritual things; such as preaching, hearing confessions, superintending Colleges, &c. These, likewise, must all be priests. Secular Coadjutors. These are all laymen, and their office is to fill such secular offices as may be required, in order to promote the objects of the Society. They act as servants and inferior officers in the Colleges and other houses; but they are employed, when qualified, for higher and more important duties. {11a} They are expected also to influence their neighbours by conversation and other means. {11b} They are drawn from all ranks, some being unable to read, and others educated men. {11c} It is clear that this class must supply the Society with one of the most effective of its agencies. The lay coadjutor may act in any capacity, as a merchant, statesman, mechanic, or anything else which his Superior may deem expedient, and may thus secure a powerful influence without any person having the least idea that a Jesuit is in his neighbourhood. Approved scholars, or those youths who have been selected as likely to prove suitable for the future purposes of the Society, and are being trained in Jesuit Colleges. Although their education is not yet complete, these scholars have been required to take the three vows, and moreover to add the promise that they will be ready, when required, to devote themselves to the service of the Society.
