QUIETISM. 173 For this reason the seventeenth century abounded in mystics, many of whom were to be found among the Jansenists. The Jesuits were well aware that this tendency was unfavorable to their interests, and therefore exerted themselves to the utmost to repress it. The most remarkable example of the kind is pre- sented by the history of the Quietists, a class of mystics who ap- peared toward the close of the seventeenth century, so called because they endeavored by inward contemplation an...d devotion to attain to holiness and the true rest of the soul. The name was taken from that of a fanatical party in the Greek Church in the fourteenth century called Hesychiasts. 1 The first who was persecuted under this name was Michael Molinos, a Spanish priest who lived at Rome, and was there held in very high esteem as a preacher and confessor. He wrote in 1675 the Guida Spirituale (Spiritual Guide), which was every where received with the greatest favor and translated into many languages. This work was intended to be a guide to contem- plation.
