THE KING of France HIS NEVV ORDER TO HIS SUBJECTS professing the PROTESTANT RELIGION at Charenton Forbidding them to use several Expressions contained in their Publick Prayers and Confession of Faith And commanding them to redress divers other pretended Grievances By the King And M. the Bayliff of Charenton TO all whom these Presents concern Nicholas Fromont Counsellor at Law Bayliff Ordinary Civil and Criminal Judg of the Baylywick of Charenton St. Maurice for Monsieur Francis le Bossu Knight Baron of Merry on the Seine Lord of the aforesaid Charenton Maison Rouge and other Places Counsellor and Master in Ordinary of the King's Houshold Greeting Forasmuch as it hath been represented to us by our Attorney That notwithstanding those professing the pretended Reformed Religion ought to demean themselves with that Moderation and Modesty enjoined them by the Statutes and to use no injurious Terms against the Catholick Apostolical Roman Religion our Holy Father the Pope and Ecclesiastical Persons seeing that by the Statutes Declarations and Ordinances as well ancient as modern this is forbidden them and especially by the King's Declaration of Jan. 17. 1561. registred in Parliament the 6th of March then next ensuing By which in the tenth Article the Ministers of the pretended Reformed Religion are strictly forbidden upon pain of Death to use in their Sermons any opprobrious Terms against the Mass and Ceremonies received and observed in the Catholick Church Which is confirmed by other Declarations of the King dated Octob. 24. contained in the second Article Decemb. 14. 1563 registred in Parliament Artic. 13. by the Edict of Nantes Artic. 17. by several Orders in the Council of State of Jan. 11. 1657. Octob. 5. 1663. Septemb. 18 22. 1664. and by the King's Declaration Feb. 1. 1669 registred in Parliament the 28th of the ensuing May Artic. 5 and 8. By all which it is strictly forbidden as well to the Ministers as others professing the pretended Reformed Religion to use in their Sermons or Discourses injurious and offensive Terms against the Catholick Religion and Civil Government but to demean themselves with that Moderation enjoyned them by the Edicts not to mention the Catholick Religion but with respect nor irreverently to speak of the Holy Things and Ceremonies of the Church nor call the Catholicks by any other Name than that of Catholicks Nevertheless those professing the aforesaid pretended Reformed Religion in contempt of our Catholick Apostolical and Roman Church and the Edicts of this Kingdom do use in all Rencounters opprobrious and blasphemous Terms against the Church and its most holy Mysteries which are the Fundamentals of the Catholick and Christian Faith For as well of old as now of late in all their Sermons and Writings they treat the Catholick Religion as a Superstitious Religion the Catholicks as Idolaters and our Holy Father the Pope the Vicar of Jesus Christ and St. Peter's Successor with the Name of Antichrist which is not to be mentioned but with horror And in all their Books which they publickly sell altho this is prohibited by the Edicts in their Confessions of Faith Prayers and Discipline which they call Ecclesiastical all these Terms are contained as may be seen by several Books wrote by them expresly on this Subject As for instance Calvin in several places of his Works and Lambert Daneau in a Book he wrote printed at Geneva entitled A Treatise touching Antichrist wherein after several Lies and scandalous Terms against the Catholick Religion he blasphemously insinuates That Antichrist is our holy Father the Pope and that the Church of the Papists which is the Name he gives the Catholicks is a Congregation of superstitious and id●latrous Persons Melancthon in his Preface to the Book he wrote against the Council of Trent qualifies the Pope by no other Name than that of Antichrist Sciat autem Carolus sciat Antichristus Romanus c. Leonardus Seirekelius in his Annotations on the same Melancthon under the Title De Ecclesia c. calls the Catholick Church the Church of Antichrist Sio coetus Antichristi c. There are an infinite Number of other Passages of these Sectaries wherein they disperse these Blasphemies against the Catholick Religion But not to proceed further these things are but too common at this time amongst those of that aforesaid pretended Reformed Religion and they make of them points of Faith For a further confirmation of this 't is but reading their Confession of Faith Discipline and Prayers which they call Ecclesiastical and which they now use In their Discipline the word Idolater which is the Name they commonly give the Catholicks and that of Superstition are several times mentioned therein By their Confession of Faith made in an National Synod held by them at Gap the first of October 1603 is said the Article touching Anti-Christ shall be inserted in the Confession to be the one and thirtieth in these Words And forasmuch as the Bishop of Rome has raised up to himself a Monarchy in Christendom and exalted himself so far as to call himself God and would be worshiped c. We believe and maintain that he is properly the true Anti-Christ and Son of Perdition c. This Article was by them confirm'd in the Synold assembled at Rochel in March and April 1607 by the Name of the VIIth General Article and that it should be henceforward printed in the Copies to be put now again in the Press but for particular Considerations and because of the Prosecutions made against them that had preached written or taught this Doctrine the said Synod was obliged to suppress this Article but yet protested it was the certain Doctrine of their Church and that they would never cease believing it and in effect these Terms are at this day in their Prayers which they call Ecclesiastical which the Minister loudly utters every Sunday and other Meeting-days before his Sermon in these Terms Especially we recommend unto thee O Lord all our poor Brethren dispersed under the Tyranny of Anti-Christ c. In the 24th Article of the Confession of their Faith amongst other Words there are these We believe Purgatory to be an Illusion invented by Satan c. And in the 28th Article We condemn therefore the Assemblies of the Papists in which the Sacraments are corrupted perverted falsifyed if not wholly annihilated and amongst whom all manner of Idolatries and Superstitions find Entertainment So that if we compare all these Terms with the manner after which the Ministers and others professing the Reformed Religon ought to speak and behave themselves according to the Edicts and Decrees we cannot find therein any Conformity and that things of this nature ought to be passed over in silence and tolerated seeing there can be nothing more contrary to the Holiness of our Doctrine and the respect which those of the said pretended Reformed Religion ought to shew to the sacred Mystery of the Catholick Apostolick and Roman Religion And their manner is the more blamable in that they
by their Practices contradict their own Discipline which they term Ecclesiastical for by the 23d Article of the 14th Chapter they say That all outragious and injurious Speeches aegainst those of the Roman Church whether Priests Monks or others shall be retrenched and suppressed So that in forbidding them to use the said Terms and they in suppressing them will do no more than what their Discipline requires of them And forasmuch as these Disorders are practised in Charenton which is the principal Place of their Exercise wherein the said Attorney in respect to his Charge and Conscience ought not to suffer them but on the contrary strictly to oppose and put in Execution the Edicts Ordinances Declarations of the King and Decrees of his Council recommended to the diligence as well of the Clergy as others and especially to him in the extent of this Bayly-wick which has the honour to belong more immediately to the Parliament enjoying the same Priviledges of Peerdom as the Abby of St. Denis in France the Jurisdiction of the said Charenton being a part of it required conformably to the said Edicts Declarations and Decrees Prohibitions to be made to those professing the pretended Reformed Religion to use any injurious or scandalous Terms against the Catholick Apostolick and Roman Religion against out Holy Father the Pope and others in Ecclesiastical Dignity or to call the Catholicks by

Reformists as well in their Confessions of Faith as Prayer and Discipline which they call Ecclesiastical the Words and Terms above mentioned in the said 24 and 28 Articles with strict Prohihitions to the said Ministers to say hence forward in the Prayer used by them after Sermon these Terms Especially we recommend to thee O Lord all our poor Brethren dispersed under the Tyranny of Antichrist under

Article of their Confession of Faith That whatsoever Men have invented touching the Intercession of Saints deceased is a meer Trick and Fallacy of the Devil Finally we hold Purgatory to be an Illusion delivered by the same hand from whence likewise have proceeded the Monastical Vows Pilgrimages Prohibitions to marry Abstinence from Flesh superstitious Observation of Days Auricular Confession and Indulgences In the 28th Article of the said Confession of Faith Yet do we condemn the Congregations of the Papists seeing the pure Word of God is banished from among them in which the Sacraments are
