giue it reading as a Testimonie of the love and speciall respect my heart doth owe you who as I will ever pray that you may still honour GOD and your selues by zeale against Poperye and constancye in the Truth So shall I reioyce by anye service I can perfourme to bee an instrument of your Confirmation in the same Till when giue mee leaue to bee one of those who will euer honour your Noble and Religious vertues and who in all Christian and heartie affection doth vowe to remaine Your Honours servant in Christ WILLIAM CRASHAVV● A RELATION TO the Lordes of the Parliament concerning the death of their KING SHall wee then loose our King the most mightie and puissant King that ever France fostered that ever Europe contayned for the space of 500. yeares The heart that gaue life to the bodie of this State even vnto the least Arterie The naturall heat the force vigour of so many soules is pierced is slaine with the accursed knife of a damned Caytife shall he for so strange and inhumane a fact receiue no greater torture or torment than this base and ordinary punishment Shall this bee iudged a sacrifice sufficient for so hainous a trespasse Shall this be delivered vnto posterity for our shame and suffered of vs in these our dayes to our vtter ruine and confusion And you my Lordes of this Parliament that owe to him Iustice and ought to doe your selues right are you at a stand rest you now amazed you that through the height of your wisedomes are able to vnfolde the most difficult pointes of darkest causes are you now at a stand and besides your selues in a matter so cleare and evident You busily enquire after the Authors of this prodigious bloody blow and yet you perfectly vnderstand that the knife was but the instrumēt of Ravailac of Ravailac set on induced and instructed by other It was others that put the knife into his hand and planted the murther in his heart And is it then such a matter for you that are men of such wisedome gravity and experience to devine coniecture nay absolutely to convince who those Abettors are Seeing that all Christendome by general consent concluded that since the creation of the world there hath not any sect or societie beene found more capable or more culpable in such villanies than the Iesuits and their confederates and doe you make a doubt thereof Haue not Murtherers risen again in our dayes of Christian kings the remnants of Sarazin progenie and race of the Mores who haue written books erected schooles wherin they teach the Methode ther and manner of murthering Kings Haue they not reduced this monstrous and mischieuous practife into an Art into a Caball haue they not these many yeres framed and fashioned mens minds by their misteries and meditations by their consecrations and execrations to this end purpose are they honoured for any other exploytes or magnified for any other miracles Your owne lawes tell and teach vs that hee that hath once beene conuinced of villanie is euer after presumed to bee a bird of the same feather Sithence then their Emanuell in the institution of Confessors decreeth that it is lawfull to kill their King that euery Clarke may without offence exempt himselfe from the subiection of his naturall Prince and further averreth and auoucheth that hee cannot bee iustly termed a rebell whatsoeuer he doth or in what matter soeuer hee medleth what shall wee thinke Iohn

rest of his crewand company He maintaineth flatly and plainly that whosoeuer hath a charge committed vnto him by the society of Iesuites or from the hand of their Visitor or vnder the commaund of a fewe graue and learned persons of that rancke nay without feare or daunger attempt and assaile the person of his Prince or King by pollicie treason or poyson nay he spareth not to repeate the diuers

he after the manner of the kings of the Moores by rubbing his garments his Chayre his Linnen his Armour his Saddle Stirrops or Bootes And further he warranteth that whosoeuer shall loose his life in such an attempt shall doe a thing acceptable with God and praise-worthy among men hee shall bee forsooth a sweet smelling sacrifice in the nosthrils of the Lord of hoastes These Bookes passed not
