The Jesuit's Memorial for the Intended Reformation of England Under Their First Popish Prince is a historical book written by Robert Parsons, a Jesuit priest, in the late 16th century. The book is a political and religious treatise that outlines a plan for the reformation of England under a Catholic monarch. Parsons wrote the book during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when Catholics faced persecution and were unable to practice their religion openly. The book was intended to be a blueprint for a future Catholic monarch to follow in order to restore Catholicism to England. In the book, Parsons argues that the Catholic Church is the one true church and that the English Reformation was a mistake. He proposes a series of reforms, including the establishment of a Catholic university, the appointment of Catholic bishops, and the suppression of Protestantism. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and was banned by the English government. Despite this, it had a significant impact on Catholic political thought and was influential in the Catholic resistance to the English Reformation.1690. The author was encouraged to set forth these treatises by two points which for many years he was persuaded in. The first, that God will most certainly at his time appointed restore the realm of England to the Catholic faith again, as may appear by the evidence hand he holdeth now in the work. The other, that England being once converted, may be made the spectacle of all the world, and an example of perfection to all other Catholic countries.
