.
Having become a See also:Roman See also:Catholic, he went to See also:Italy, joined the Society of Jesus in 1J75, and acquired under See also:Bellarmine and others a reputation for varied learning
.
In 1586 he joined the See also:mission in See also:England, becoming See also:superior of the See also:province on the imprisonment of See also:- WILLIAM

William See also:Weston in the following See also:year
.
In the dispute between the See also:Jesuits and the See also:secular See also:clergy known as the " See also:Wisbech Stirs " (1595—1596) he zealously supported Weston in his resistance to any See also:compromise with the See also:civil See also:government
.
His antagonism to the secular clergy was also shown later, when in 1603 he, with other Jesuits, was the means of betraying to the government the " Bye See also:Plot," contrived by William See also:Watson, a secular See also:priest
.
In 1598 he was professed of the four vows
.
See also:Garnet supervised the Jesuit mission for eighteen years with conspicuous success
.
His See also:life was one of concealment and disguises; a See also:price was put on his See also:head; but he was fearless and indefatigable in carrying on his propaganda and in ministering to the scattered Catholics, even in their prisons
.
The result was that he gained many converts, while the number of Jesuits in England increased during his See also:tenure of See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office from three to See also:forty
.
It is, however, in connexion with the See also:Gunpowder Plot that he is best remembered
.
His See also:part in this, for which he suffered See also:death, needs discussion in greater detail
.
In 1602 Garnet received briefs from See also:Pope See also:Clement VIII. directing that no See also:person unfavourable to the Catholic See also:religion should be allowed to succeed to the See also:throne
.

time he was consulted by See also:Catesby, Tresham and See also:Winter, all afterwards involved in the Gunpowder Plot, on the subject of the mission to be sent to See also:Spain to induce See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)

.
According to his own statement he disapproved, but he gave Winter a recommendation to See also:Father Creswell, an influential person at See also:Madrid
.
Moreover, in May 1605 he gave introductions to See also:Guy See also:Fawkes when he went to See also:Flanders, and to See also:Sir See also:Edmund Baynham when he went to See also:Rome (see GUNPOWDER PLOT)
.
The preparations for the plot had now been actively going forward since the beginning of 1604, and on the 9th of See also:June 1605 Garnet was asked by Catesby whether it was lawful to enter upon any undertaking which should involve the destruction of the See also:innocent together with the guilty, to which Garnet answered in the affirmative, giving as an See also:illustration the See also:fate of persons besieged in a See also:town in time of See also:war
.
Afterwards, feeling alarmed, according to his own accounts, he admonished Catesby against intending the death of " not only innocents but See also:friends and necessary persons for a See also:commonwealth," and showed him a See also:letter from the pope forbidding See also:rebellion
.
According to Sir Everard See also:Digby, however, Garnet, when asked the meaning of the brief, replied " that they were not (meaning the priests) to undertake or procure stirs, but yet they would not hinder any, neither was it the pope's mind they should, that should be undertaken for Catholic See also:good
.
.
.
. This See also:answer, with Mr Catesby's proceedings with him and me, gave me See also:absolute belief that the See also:matter in See also:general was approved, though every particular was not known." Both men were endeavouring to exculpate themselves, and therefore both statements are subject to suspicion
.
A few days later, according to Garnet, the Jesuit, See also:Oswald Tesemond, known as Greenway, informed him of the whole plot " by way of See also:confession," when, as he declares, he expressed horror at the See also:design and urged See also:Green-way to do his utmost to prevent its See also:execution
.
Subsequently, after his trial, Garnet said he " could not certainly affirm " that Greenway intended to relate the matter to him in confession
.
Garnet's conduct in now keeping the plot a See also:secret has been a matter of considerable controversy not only between Roman Catholics and Protestants, but amongst Roman Catholic writers themselves

Martin del Rio, a Jesuit, See also:writing in 1600, discusses the exact See also:case of the See also:revelation of a plot in confession
.
Almost all the learned doctors, he says, declare that the See also:confessor may reveal it, but he adds, " the contrary See also:opinion is the safer and better See also:doctrine, and more consistent with religion and with the reverence due to the See also:holy rite of confession." According to Bellarmine, Garnet's zealous friend and defender, "If the person confessing be concealed, it is lawful for a priest to break the See also:seal of confession in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to avert a See also:great calamity "; but he justifies Garnet's silence by insisting that it was not lawful to disclose a treasonable secret to a heretical See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king
.
According to Garnet's own opinion a priest cognizant of See also:treason against the See also:state " is See also:bound to find all lawful means to discover it salvo sigillo confessionis." In this connexion it is See also:worth pointing out that Garnet had not thought it his See also:duty to disclose the treasonable intrigue with the king of Spain in 1602, though there was no pretence in this case that he was restricted by the seal of confession, and his inactivity now tells greatly in his disfavour; for, allowing even that he was bound by See also:confessional secrecy from taking See also:action on Green-way's See also:information, he had still Catesby's earlier revelations to See also:act upon
.
He appears to have taken no steps whatever to prevent the See also:crime, beyond writing to Rome in vague terms that " he feared some particular desperate courses," which aroused no suspicions in that See also:quarter
.
At the same time he wrote to Father See also:Parsons on the 4th of See also:September that " as far as he could now see the minds of the Catholics were quieted."
His movements immediately See also:prior to the See also:attempt were certainly suspicious
.
In September, shortly before the expected See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of See also:parliament on the 3rd of See also:October, Garnet organized a See also:pilgrimage to St Winifred's Well in Flintshire, which started from Gothurst (now Gayhurst), Sir Everard Digby's See also:house in See also:Buckinghamshire, included Rokewood, and stopped at the houses of See also:John See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

.
During the pilgrimage Garnet asked for the prayers of the See also:company " for some good success for the Catholic cause at the beginning of parliament." After his return he went on the 29th of October to Coughton in See also:Warwickshire, near which See also:place it had been settled the conspirators were to assemble after the See also:explosion
.
On the 6th of See also:November, See also:Bates, Catesby's servant and one of the conspirators, brought him a letter with the See also:news of the failure of the plot and desiring See also:advice
.
On the 3oth Garnet addressed a letter to the government in which he See also:pro-tested his innocence with the most See also:solemn oaths, " as one who hopeth for See also:everlasting salvation."
It was not till the 4th of See also:December, however, that Garnet and Greenway were, by the confession of Bates, implicated in the plot; and on the same See also:day Garnet removed from Coughton to Hindlip See also:- HALL

Hall, near See also:Worcester, a house furnished with cleverly-contrived hiding-places for the use of the prescribed priests
.
Here he remained some time in concealment in company with another priest, Oldcorne See also:alias Hall, but at last on the 30th of See also:January 1606, unable to See also:bear the See also:close confinement any longer, they surrendered and were taken up to London, being well treated during the See also:journey by See also:Salisbury's See also:express orders
.
He was examined by the See also:council on the 13th of See also:February and frequently questioned during the following days, but refused to incriminate himself, and a See also:threat to inflict See also:torture had no effect upon his See also:resolution
.
Subsequently Garnet and Oldcorne having been placed in adjoining rooms and enabled to communicate with one another, their conversations were overheard on several See also:separate occasions and considerable information obtained
.
Garnet at first denied all speech with Oldcorne, but subsequently on the 8th of See also:March confessed his connexion with the plot
.
He was tried at the See also:Guildhall on the 28th
.
Garnet was clearly guilty of See also:misprision of treason, i.e. of having concealed his knowledge of the crime, an offence which exposed
him to perpetual imprisonment and See also:forfeiture of his See also:property; for the law of England took no See also:account of religious scruples or professional See also:etiquette when they permit the execution of a preventable crime
.
Strangely enough, however, the government passed over the incriminating conversation with Greenway, and relied entirely on the strong circumstantial See also:evidence to support the See also:charge of high treason against the prisoner
.
The trial was not conducted in a manner which would be permitted in more See also:modern days
.
The rules of evidence which now govern the See also:procedure in criminal cases did not then exist, and Garnet's trial, like many others, was influenced by the See also:political situation, the case against him being supported by general political accusations against the Jesuits as a See also:body, and with evidence of their complicity in former plots against the government
.
The prisoner himself deeply prejudiced his cause by his numerous false statements, and still more by his adherence to the doctrine of equivocation
.
Garnet, it is true, claimed to limit the See also:justification of equivocation to cases " of necessary See also:defence from injustice and wrong or of the obtaining some good of great importance when there is no danger of harm to others," and he could justify his conduct in lying to the council by their own conduct towards him, which included treacherous eavesdropping and See also:fraud, and also threats of torture
.
Moreover, the attempt of the counsel for the See also:crown to force the prisoner to incriminate himself was opposed to the whole spirit and tradition of the law of England
.
He was declared guilty, and it is probable, in spite of the irregularity and unjudicial See also:character of his trial, that substantial See also:justice was done by his conviction
.
His execution took place on the 3rd of May 1606, Garnet acknowledging himself justly condemned for his concealment of the plot, but maintaining to the last that he had never approved it
.
The king, who had shown him favour throughout and who had forbidden his being tortured, directed that he should be hanged till he was quite dead and that the usual frightful cruelties should be omitted
.
Soon after his death the See also:story of the See also:miracle of "Garnet's See also:Straw" was circulated all over See also:Europe, according to which a See also:blood-stained straw from the See also:scene of execution which came into the hands of one John See also:Wilkinson, a See also:young and fervent Roman Catholic, who was See also:present, See also:developed Garnet's likeness
.
In consequence of the See also:credence which the story obtained, See also:Archbishop See also:Bancroft was commissioned by the privy council to discover and punish the impostors
.
Garnet's name was included in the See also:list of the 353 Roman Catholic martyrs sent to Rome from England in 1880, and in the 2nd appendix of the Menology of England and See also:Wales compiled by order of the See also:cardinal archbishop and the bishops of the province of See also:Westminster by R
