A DECLAration of the Prince of Conde and his associates to the Queene vppon the Iudgement of rebellion set forth against theÌ„ by their enemies terming theÌ„selues to be the Court of parlamente of Parys with a protestation of the euils and inconueniences which may thereof ensue Imprinted at London in Paules Churchyarde by Lucas Harryson ALthoughe that the wrytyngs heretofore published in the name of the Prince of Conde and al the Princes Lordes gentlemen and other which are of his company do sufficiently declare the equity of the cause whiche hath armed them as well for the seruice of the King and conseruation of hys authoritye as for the mayntayning of his edictes or proclamatyons concerning the holy liberty and quietnesse of conscience of the refourmed Churches within this realme neuerthelesse seeing that the enemies of the honour of God and publique quietnesse dayly set forth new sclaunders wherby they pretend to oppresse the innoceÌ„cye of the sayd Prince and hys associates it staÌ„deth wyth good reasoÌ„ that if the wicked ceasse not to assayle equitye and iustice the good also should not ceasse to defend it Now for bycause that the 27. day of Iuly last past iudgemeÌ„t was geuen in the Court of parlement of Parys whereby they pretende to declare them rebelles that haue taken armour for the seruice of the King the conseruation of the states authority and to resist the violence and tyranny of the Duke of Guyse and his adherentes it is necessary that the iniquity of this iudgemente shoulde be manifested as wel to those of this kingdome as to strangers namely that it should be represented to our posterytie by this declaration For it shal serue for an example of remembraunce wherein may be seene how muche the enemies of God and persecutors of his Church are of corrupte vnderstanding and iudgemeÌ„t and farre from all righteousnesse We may I say perceue that men whiche prefer theyr lyes and errors to the sacred truth of God are so farre blinded that they iudge those seditious which go about to seke as much as in them lieth the publique vnion and tranquillity and condemne those for rebels which forsaking theyr coÌ„modities geuing ouer their goods do hazard their lyues to the end that the King may remaine obeyed and the authority of hys Edictes may be inuiolably kept And to the end that such declaration of rebellyon may be the better coÌ„uinced of manifest iniustice and be holdeÌ„ for the sclauÌ„der of an enemy and not for the senteÌ„ce of a Iudge beholde what the Prince of CoÌ„de and hys associats shal declare to this effect following theyr first protestations and writinges concerning the verification of their innocency First as concerning the exception of the person of the sayd Prince he is so much affected to the seruice of the King that he feeleth himselfe wounded burthened with that whiche they lay to other whome hee knoweth neuer meante anye such thing in takyng armour nor tended to none other end but to the conseruatioÌ„ of thys crowne And the sayd Prince is so farre from beyng pleased with thys exception that rather he is offeÌ„ded in that they would separate him froÌ„ so many good and faythfull seruaÌ„ts of the King and from as good and holy a company as euer was asseÌ„bled together in this realme For this cause being assured both before God and Man that their innocency is such that al the lyes and sclaÌ„ders of the wicked caÌ„ not stayne wyth one onlye spot of disobedience and rebellion eyther the sayd Prince or his associates he desyreth to haue the same conditioÌ„ with them which are ioyned with hym in the same goodnes of cause thesame religion thesame wil to bestow their liues for the Kings welth conseruatioÌ„ of his estate and the establyshyng of the pure seruyce of God in hys Kingdome And euen as the sayd Prince cannot nor oughte not to be forsaken or denied of those at whose commaundemente he hath iustlye taken weapon in hand no more woulde he departe froÌ„ those which haue at his request takeÌ„ armes with him and with whom he hath lyke entent and wil. Furthermore he hath sufficient experience in the crafty sleyghtes of hys enemies to perceaue what they brue vnder such color and pretence of exception as it is easy to be iudged by the lettres missiue sente through the prouinces wherein he is generally comprised wyth the others Now that it may appeare that the crime of rebellioÌ„ ought to light vpon those whiche of their own authoritie haue taken weapon to breake the Edicts of the kyng and to trouble the quietnesse of the whole realme not vpon any other which haue taken armoure to withstand so pernicious an eÌ„trepryse we will brieflye rehearse that which wee haue amply discoursed in oure former writinges Ech maÌ„ knoweth that the Edict of Ianuary brought such quyetnesse throughout al FrauÌ„ce that it seemed that the estate of thys realme beynge before tossed with infinyte troubles and tempests was as it wer arriued at a happy and quiet porte At that tyme when the Duke of Guyse through the slaughter whiche he made at Vassy gaue openly to vnderstand that he had sworne war agaynst the estate of the King and the welth and quietnesse of his people The which with good right was thought very straunge by the sayd Prynce who for the place which he holdeth ought of duety to coÌ„serue and mayntayne the authority hyghnesse of the King whoÌ„ the sayd Guyse hath alwayes gone aboute to brynge to extreme ruine That I say was thought marueilous strauÌ„ge that a subiecte durst so manyfestly breake an Edicte of hys Prynce yea such an Edict as was made by the delyberatioÌ„ of the estates authoryzed by the Kings Counsel with the most notable coÌ„pany that could be gathered and chosen out of al the Courts of Parlemente of this realme And although the sayd Prince had of hys owne right occasion iust enough to withstand so manifeste a vyoleÌ„ce and oppression to the King and hys Edictes yet he withheld him self to entreprise any thing to this effect vntill he receaued commaundement In consideration whereof the sayd Prince most humbly besecheth the Queenes Maiesty to remembre that beyng at S Germayne in Laye she was aduertised to what ende the Duke of Guyse tended which was to depose hyr froÌ„ hyr authority and to banysh from about hyr hir most faythfull louing seruauÌ„ts that they might the easlyer obtayne the gouernment of this realme Whereto they haue alwayes caste their eye and aspyred since the time that thei haue had any maneging of affayres in their handes Which being come to the Queenes knowledge lykewise the faction that by the meanes of the Embassadoure of Spayne they practized in fauor of theyr entrepryse shee conceiued such grefe therof as the great and eminent daunger required Which gaue hir occasion one euening to desyre the said Prince to gather together the greatest numbre of Gentlemen that hee could that the effecte of so daungerous an

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

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
