B07937	A declaration of the Prince of Conde and his associates to the Queene, vppon the iudgement of rebellion, set forth against the[m] by their enemies, terming the[m] selues to be the court of parlamente of Parys, with a protestation of the evils and inconueniences which may thereof ensue..	Condé, Louis, prince de, 1530-1569.	1562 (1562)	STC 16851; ESTC S94038	12,627	70

to the rage fury of those which can not be satisfied wyth suckyng of Innocentes bloud Furthermore it is not vnknoweÌ„ that the sayd Prince hath always offred to vnarme hym self if hys enemies would vnarme them first wythdrawing them selues froÌ„ the Kyng would leaue him in his fyrst liberty Now is it not reason that they which first toke armor with out coÌ„mauÌ„demeÌ„t wtout autority agaynst the Kinges wil against the Edicts agaynst the expresse coÌ„mauÌ„demeÌ„t of the kiÌ„g shuld lay down their armour before the other which were armed after theÌ„ armed I say by coÌ„maÌ„demeÌ„t authority knowlege of the king Quene for the conseruation of their Maiestyes and of they re Edictes against the oppressioÌ„ and violence of the other To be short let al that the sayd Prynce hath done be examined and it shal be founde that hys answeres and protestations hys offers all hys doinges are sufficiente witnesses of hys innocency For hath he not gone about by al meanes to set this realme at quiet to deliuer it froÌ„ the perill which semeth to threaten it with an extreme and vtter ruine What coÌ„dition of peace being any thyng reasonable was euer refused or not rather sought by the said Prince and hys company How oft hath he gone about to let the entry of straungers into thys realme fearing the inconueniences that myghte thereof ensue Hath he not geuen to vnderstande the desert of hys cause to straunge Prynces namely to the confederates of this crown beseching theÌ„ to take vp the matter to be meane of the quietnesse and tranquilitie of this realme With what modesty hath he behaued him selfe in the townes wherin he myght conserue the liberty of their consciences and the exercising of their religion folowing the permission and ordinaunce of the kyng Hath he vsed any one poynt of violeÌ„ce or iniustice WheÌ„ his enemies forcing townes not beeing content to bereue them of the benefite and liberalitie of the kyng touching religion haue committed so many murthers and spoyles that the streates haue bene paued with deade corpses and the earth stained with the bloud of the InnoceÌ„tes which they haue shed Let men theÌ„ iudge without affectioÌ„ who thei be which by their workes and effectes haue deserued to be declared rebelles eyther the Prynce and his coÌ„pany which haue armed theÌ„ selues to maintaine the Edictes of the King made according to the aduyse of the estates which ought to take place during the minority of his sayd Maiesty his liberty the Quenes liberty and the quietnesse of the common welth or their eÌ„nemies which takiÌ„g armes without authority of the King haue broken hys Edictes sacked his townes murdred hys subiects set forth ordinaÌ„ces quite contrary to the Kings namly to the Edict of Ianuary made so soleÌ„nely as we haue said receued with whole consent throughout the realme lykewyse gretly coÌ„meÌ„ded of strauÌ„gers If then with indiffereÌ„t eye al the partes of this cause bee marked it shal be found that the sayd PriÌ„ce his coÌ„pany haue been falsly called rebelles by those which are very rebelles theÌ„selues they haue bene declared sedicious by those which since the death of the late King Henry haue ben cause of all the troubles which haue happened in thys realme and haue ben declared gilty of treson by those which oppresse the Kings maiesty abolish his ordinaÌ„ces abuse his name authoryty to magnify theÌ„selues to his ouerthrow Those yea those ar gilty of diuine treason whose works haue alwayes shewed that they holde Ambicion for their God Couetousnesse for their religion the pleasures of this worlde for their paradise greatest felicitie whiche haue sworne warre againste the sonne of God against hys worde and those which maintaine it which shew the workes of Anabaptistry in baptizing againe those children whiche be already baptized according to the institution ordinauÌ„ce of oure Lorde Iesus Christe which haue their houses ful of spoyles and their handes embrued with bloudy crueltie They also are giltie of humane treason whiche haue brokeÌ„ the Edictes of the kyng haue approched and seazed vpon hys persoÌ„ with armes against hys commaundement which are great frendes and haue made those to be their instruments in thys feat which would violently haue taken awaye the seconde person of Fraunce and haue oppressed the kyng and brought hys estate to confusion and ruyne And to speake further I saye that they are giltie of treason whiche made of late that cursed coÌ„spiracy in Prouince by the handes of Lauris presidente in the court of parlemente at Aix and conioyned with Fabrice Cerbelome Gouernoure of Auignon for the Pope which tended to assemble xv M. meÌ„ which should marche as they were sworen at the coÌ„maundement of the sayd Guise Wherof the sayd Fabritius furnished a thousand footemen and CC. horsmeÌ„ Which conspiracy being come to knowlege veryfied by the court of parlament of Prouince Entrages Laidet two priÌ„cipal captaines of this factioÌ„ wer behedded by iudgement giuen in the same court And if thys suffyce not I will adde more that the sayd Guyses haue made the lyke coÌ„spyracy in Dauphine by the captaine Mantill hoping by this meane to make Dauphine to take armes with Prouince to martche together at their pleasure In so much that these coÌ„spiracies made to abolishe the preaching of the Gospell these takings vp of men these othes taking to martch at the coÌ„maudemeÌ„t of the Guyse cry out that as wel the sayd Guyse as his coÌ„spiratours are rebelles and gilty of treasoÌ„ both to God and man And contrarywise that those are true faythfull seruantes of the King which haue withstaÌ„ded stoutly do withstande theyr rebellioÌ„s seditions atteÌ„pts against the Kinges Maiestie and estate of all thys realme And besydes this that I haue spoken let the ouerwhelming of the gouernment iustice of this realme be witnesse and namely that courte of ParliameÌ„t of Paris which thei haue made theyr instrumeÌ„t in thys false pernitious iudgement of rebellioÌ„ bicause they could not finde any other coÌ„pany so corrupt depraued so boÌ„de slaue to their wils appetites as that As in effecte all those that remayne there at thys daye doe eyther holde theyr estates through the fauor of the sayd Guyses and their adherentes or els hope to haue some other by their meane And euen the principal amongest them are plainly comprysed in the conspiracy and faction made by the sayd Guyse and hys adherentes wherof we at this day fele the lamentable and miserable effectes And we must in dede truly confesse that amongest al the plagues that God long hath scourged thys poore and afflicted realme withall thys ought to be accompted the greatest that such a court of parlement whiche oughte to be the seate of Iustice the refuge of the oppressed the brydle and punishmeÌ„t of al vice shuld be so farre from hys ryght and naturall vse that it should open the gate to al iniustice and oppression

enterprise myghte be preuented Which he faythfully went about hauing respect to the commaundement of the Queene and of hys duety towardes the kynges maiestie and coÌ„seruatioÌ„ of hys crown Now thys obedience was the beginning of all that whiche hath since continued in resisting those which the Queene iudged to be her enemies and of whoÌ„ she would take hede And for greater witnesse of the doubt which she had of them it may please her to remeÌ„ber the charge whiche she once gaue to the sayd Prynce touching the secretary Marseille Now when the sayd Guyses by theyr demeanours as well at Parys as elswher had brought openly to light that which before they had hiddeÌ„ the Queene confirmed and repeted again to the sayd Prynce as well by letters as messangers the coÌ„maundemente which she had alredy made to resist the force violence whiche they determined to make agaynste hyr Maiesty WhoÌ„ in this behalfe he most humbly besecheth so farre as the word of a Quene ought to remayne sure inuiolable to call to minde the thinges which she hath written with hir own hand the which he is now constrayned to set forthe to all mennes eyes that they may al read hys innocency in the very lettres of the Quene For he is assured that she hath not forgotten that whiche she wrote to him froÌ„ FouÌ„tainebleau in the moneth of Marche last past recommending vnto hym the conseruation of the Kings person of hirs in these wordes I recoÌ„mend vnto you the mother and hyr children And consequently that which shee wrote with her hand by Monsieur de Bouchauannes when the force of the Guyses was in Parys that is that he should not dysarme himselfe vntill his enemies were disarmed and that it might be seene to what end their coÌ„spiracy would tend And here vpon the sayd Prince desireth that it wil please hir Maiesty to remembre howe often she hath giuen him to vnderstaÌ„d that she estemed that whiche he did for verye agreable seruice the which shee woulde so print in the Kings memorie that being come to age hee might gratefy him according to his desert Wherunto lykewise agreeth that which she said to the lord Admirall not longe before he departed from the court that she knewe hym so faythfull a seruaunt of the Kinges and also so louing toward her maiestie that if nede required he would not lette by al meanes possible to endeuor hymselfe to defend hir from the conspyracy of the Guyses As she also now laste writte vnto hym by Monsiur ReÌ„bouillet that she estemed hym so good a seruauÌ„t of the Kings and desirous of the conseruatioÌ„ of his estate that she would vse hys counsell for the pacifyiÌ„g of the troubles which were in those dayes And furthermore the talke whych she had besides Baugency with the sayd Prince the Lords which wer in his coÌ„pany is so cleare wytnesse of hir conseÌ„t approuing therof that it shuld be to superfluous to allege infinyte other proues which myght be broght forth to this effect For then in the presence of .7 Knightes of the ordre certaine secretaries of the estate she largly thanked the sayde Prince hys company for the seruice and pleasure that she had receiued of them vsing these termes that she acknowleged that the Kings life hirs were conserued and kept through their meane These things being consydered as behoueth what reason may remayne to the ennemyes of the sayde Prynce and his associats yea so much as to gather a symple coniecture of rebellion much lesse of grouÌ„ded iudgemeÌ„t By whose autority shall they be declared rebelles Shal it be by the King and Quenes autority which haue caused theym to take armes for the conseruatioÌ„ of their maiesties which hath had recourse to them in hir dauÌ„ger whiche therein hath encouraged them by words letters and with thaÌ„ks for their seruice hath approued accepted that whiche they haue done as a meane of the coÌ„seruation of this whole realme Furthermore there is none but knoweth that the ennemies of the said Prince abuse the name of the King and Queene whose wyll they keepe forced and subiecte to they re wylles Whyche ys the cause why the sayd Prince and his associates haue protested hitherto and nowe agayne protest neyther to hold nor acknowledge any Edict statute or ordinaunce made vnder the name of the Kyng whileste hys libertye is taken from him by the vyolence and armes of their enemies And for that they take for proofe besides these thynges heretofore writteÌ„ that whych so oft the Queene hath sente them word of that is that she could not agre to the which they demaunded bicause that the contrary part was the stronger the people armed And although that since the moneth of Aprill the Kynges Maiesty hath ben forced and they haue begoÌ„ne to abuse his name autority yet since that tyme the thing hath been more clerely knowen and manifested by that which is coÌ„tained in a letter of the Queenes to Monsiur de Vieillevile and the Countye of Villars dated the 14. of Maye laste Where she wryte with her hand that she committed the kyng her sonn into the handes of the other meaning by the other the enemies of the said Lord Prince Wherby it appeareth that the iudgement of rebellion and al other things made vnder the name and authority of the king against the sayd Prynce and hys company ought to be estemed to be made by their enemies seeyng that the kyng is vnder their handes as it appeareth euen by the witnesse of the Queene Now then I leaue to be coÌ„sidered of what weighte that iudgement of coÌ„demnatioÌ„ is which is geuen by the parties enemies of the coÌ„demned but yet let vs see what that great cryme is which they cal rebellion wherupon they grouÌ„de that which they lay to the sayde Princes charge and his company It is say they bicause they wyll not geue ouer theyr armour If it be so I demauÌ„d what shal they be caled which comming to the courte in armoure though they had none enemies armed against them wold not neuerthelesse geue ouer their armoure although they receiued coÌ„mauÌ„demente from the kynge and which yet hold them with the same boldnesse that they toke them at the beginning Now who is he that would gyue ouer his armour at the request instaÌ„ce of hys enemy which hath the sworde ready in hys hand to fight wyth him what other thing is it to demauÌ„d that the said Prince shuld disarme himself his aduersaries remaining armed but only to wyll that his enemies shuld be hys masters that hys goods shuld be subiecte to their greedye couetousnesse that hys lyfe should be giuen ouer to their cruelty To be short that he shuld receiue the law of those which hauing none ought to receiue thesame of others And furthermore is it not to breake the wall which it hath pleased God to set aboute hys poore Church of FrauÌ„ce afterwardes to gyue it ouer

made the Kyng peasibly to be obeyed in hys couÌ„trey hys edictes obserued and the innocency of the sayd Prynce and hys coÌ„pany manifestli acknowleged And the sayd Prince declareth that although they whose authoritye and commaundemente hath caused him to begin this enterpryse shoulde nowe come and allege their contrarye aduyse and opynion yet though they chauÌ„ge their willes he can not chauÌ„ge his as also he can not slacken his duty towardes the Kyng nor forget the place which he holdeth in thys realme Therfore the sayd Prynce all hys company proteste before the maiestie of God and the Kyng and before all people and nations to whom the knowlege of thys facte hath come or shal come that they confesse and acknowlege theÌ„selues most humble and obedient subiectes and seruauntes of the Kyng their soueraine Lord and Prynce and that their armes are not nor neuer shal be against hys maiestye but agaynste hys enemyes Whom they hold for rebelles setiouse and giltye of treason to God and man bicause they haue ouerthrowen the lawes and customes of thys realme haue broken the Edictes of the Kyng and violate the authoritie of the estates in thrusting themselues into the couÌ„sel of hys maiestie froÌ„ whiche they were excluded by the aduise of the said estates and haue driuen out the faythfull and lawfull counselers of the Kyng Furthermore bicause they defende themselues with hys person enforce hys liberty abuse hys name to coloure their ambitioÌ„ and insaciable crueltie they haue made and dayly do make conspiracies factions and practises as wel to maintayne their vsurpation as to vndoo the moste parte of the Kynges faythfull subiectes And namely to banysh out of Fraunce the pure preaching of the Gospell to spoyle destroy those which make profession therof Agaynst those theÌ„ onely for these causes with the other that depend on theÌ„ the sayd Prynce hys coÌ„pany protest to haue weapoÌ„ in haÌ„d and that for great nede hauing none other meane to kepe the Kynges maiestie hys edictes hys hyghnesse the estate of hys croune the authoritie of hys estates the lyfe and goods of an infinite nuÌ„ber of his poore subiectes and principally the pure seruice of god established in thys realme by the authoritie of the Kyng The importaunce of which thinges doth so touche the sayde Prynces heart and hys company that foreseing the horrible calamitie and desolation that myght happen to thys realme that all FrauÌ„ce shuld bathe in hys own bloud if their ennemies myght continue the murthers and cruelties which thei haue exercised these .v. monethes they all determine to let for no payne to establishe the quietnesse of thys realme but to veÌ„ter their lyues to assure the liues of so many good faythfull subiectes and seruauntes of the kyng And are not hindered but rather encouraged by that pernicious iudgement of rebellion the which they protest not to hold as iudgemeÌ„t but slaunder practyzed and sette foorth by theyr ennemyes So that withstanding it they meane not to wtstande the wyll of the Kyng or any iudgement geuen forth by a court of parliamente lawfully assembled but a violeÌ„ce force oppression and inuading of their goods and lyues by the Kynges enemies and theirs The sayd Prince desireth not onely all those of thys realme whiche oughte to esteme the Kynges seruice but also all straunge Prynces which loue equitie and iustice to wtstande with hym so violent oppressioÌ„ made to a yong Kyng whose great vertues already shiniÌ„g in hym geue certayne hope that beyng come to age he wyl acknowlege the seruice and succour whych hath ben done to hym in hys great and vrgent necessitie And namely the sayd Prynce desireth al strauÌ„gers as well Almaines as Switsers that are come into thys realme and do ayde hys enemyes that they remember the title of equitie the memory wherof hath at all tymes honored their aunceters that they wyll not suffer suche reproche to lyght on them as that they haue fought for an euil cause against a good cause for the ennemyes of the kyng agaynste hys faythfull subiectes for Prynces the be but strauÌ„gers agaynst a Prince of the bloud of thys croune for the fauourers of the Pope and the Churche of Rome againste those whyche professe the Gospel of our lord Iesus Christ And herein the sayd Prince caleth before the iudgemeÌ„t seate of god the consciences of the sayd straungers which professe the gospel to tak hede that they be not cause that the said gospel be banished out of thys poore kyngdome and that all they which professe thesame be spoyled murthered He praieth them also to coÌ„sider that hys ennemies whatsoeuer they speake of rebellion assayle hym neuerthelesse for none other cause but for that folowing the edict of the king he mayntayneth the pure preching of the worde of god So the sayd strauÌ„gers oughte to preuente that the ennemies of their religioÌ„ and of the Princes and hys companies shoulde think in mockage as they already do that they haue begiled theÌ„ haue brought to passe bi their practises that their own couÌ„try meÌ„ which maintaine the gospell are come to fyghte agaynst them in Fraunce Furthermore the sayd Prynce praieth them to consider what wil folowe of thys matter leaste if the ennemies ouercome the gospellers in this realme that their enterprise should stretch out beyond the Ryne so they themselues may be assailed in their houses according to the confederacy which they haue made wyth the Pope diuerse other straunge Prynces And though hitherto the said Prince hathe deferred to call anye strauÌ„ges to the succour of the kyng of them which it hath pleased hym to permyt to liue according to the reformation of the gospel neuerthelesse seyng that hys ennemies haue begon to cal them in their euill cause he protesteth that herafter he wyll not let to vse their aid for the maintenaunce of hys ryght And so much the rather bicause he is assured that the conseruation of the kyng and of this realme is ioined with the conseruation of hys innoceÌ„cy WherupoÌ„ forasmuchas such warre which kyndleth dayly more and more can not but bryng great calamities with it the sayd Prynce hys coÌ„pany protest before God man not to be giltie therein but they which haue been the mouers and authors therof To the end that the blame of al the euels inconuenieÌ„ces of thys present warr may redouÌ„de vpoÌ„ their ennemies which are the beginning and cause therof Finally the sayd Prynce willeth and desireth that this preseÌ„t protestation may serue also to confirme the associatioÌ„ which is betwene hym and the PriÌ„ces Lordes gentlemeÌ„ and other which folow hym and shall hereafter follow To whoÌ„ the sayd Prynce promyseth that as he hath thys honor to be their head and seyng that all the reformed Churches of thys realme haue throwen themselues into hys armes to conserue theÌ„ according to the kynges edicte against their aduersaries and enemies of this croune he wil be the first that shal geue hys lyfe his goods that the seruice of god may be established in hys puritie those whiche professe it maintained the kyng set agayne at hys full libertie hys ennemies driuen away hys counsell restored according to the lawes customes of thys realme namely the laste requeste of the estates Likewise the sayd Prynce exhorteth prayeth al hys coÌ„pany to march wyth him fote by fote in the executioÌ„ of so good holy an enterpryse hauing respect to the righteousnesse of the cause putting al their force in the strength of god so the being certaine that fighting for the aduauncement of hys glory the releuing of hys Churches the conseruatioÌ„ of their king and the quietnes of their couÌ„trey they shal fele the assistaunce succour of God Whom the sayd Prynce and hys coÌ„pany most hartily besecheth to take in hande the defence of their cause and for thys effecte to sit in throne of hys iustice before the which they present the horryble blasphemies spued out by their ennemies againste hys maiestie the crueltie whiche they vse against his Churchs the bloud of so many innoceÌ„ts which they haue spilt their bloudy coÌ„spiracies and daÌ„nable enterpryses agaynste hys glory and the lyfe of hys childreÌ„ and seruauntes So that receauing into hys protection hys poore people and those whyche mayntayne them he maye place hys power iustice and wysdome againste the boldnesse iniquitie and subtyll deuises of suche as assaile them and that so by the delyueraunce of hys he make manifeste to all the worlde that he is the succoure of the oppressed the preseruer of hys Churche and the iudge of hys ennemies
