shot at no other thing but his Maiesties life and Crowne neither purpose any other then the dissipation and vsurping of this Estate whereof can ensue no other then the confusion of all things both deuine and humane the extinguishing of all order pollicie and iustice and the vtter ruine of each one in particular and of all the good subiects of this Realme in generall euen such as euery one doth foresée and in hart bewaile yea and the most part do in effect already féele it in their goods liues honours and liberties For this cause wee being called of God nature and lawe to so necessary a worke haue resolued with our selues to employ our liues goods and abilities vpon the restablishment of the king our soueraigne Lordes authoritie the restauration of this Realme the preseruation and deliuerance so farre as in vs may lye of all the good subiects of the same against those who so openly haue attempted against the person of his Maiestie and dared to enterprise the vsurpation of his Realme and brought almost to the point of ineuitable ruine so many poore people which God of his grace hath vnited preserued in so many ages vnder the sacred and inuiolable lawes of this Realme We declare that we haue not neither will hold for enemies any other then those who by their effects haue proclaimed openly declared themselues enemies to this Realme who haue so much as in them lyeth extinguished and blotted out the name of the king of the soueraigne Magistrate giuen vs of God heretofore sacred to our nation disgraded his Parliaments and soueraigne Courts so farre forth as to haue cruelly slaine the principall personages against whose dignitie and life whether for their Estate or for their deserts no théeues or barbarous people or vtter enemies to mankind would haue enterprised to haue broken defaced the seales of the Realme the sacred instruments of soueraigne iustice violating and profaning so farre as they might euen iustice it selfe and to be brief so cōfounding all things that wheresoeuer their power taketh place there resteth nothing but sacke bloud furie and insolencie desolation among the people carcases in the townes mourning and lamentation in all families and combustion and vniuersall horror among all sortes Against these persons do we oppose our iust weapons against these do wo denounce warre with all rigour and against these do we inuite and adiure all good Frenchmen the kings faithfull seruaunts louers of their countrey and defenders of the good lawes thereof to assist vs with their vowes weapons and wealth as being resolued and assured that GOD will blesse vs and giue vs grace vnder the kings authoritie to chastise them according to their desert and that he will no longer suffer so many mischiefs vnpunished mischiefs committed vnder a false semblant of goodnesse sacriledges and impieties vnder the sacred names of pietie and iustice Neuerthelesse in as much as we are not ignorant but that many may haue bene entangled in these enormities some being transported by furie others ouercome by a iust feare and the most part rather suborned by subtletie then lead by their owne mallice as also we can not thinck that Fraunce is so degenerated as maliciously of set purpose to renounce her fidelitie and loyaltie to her naturall Prince that is to say to the inheritance and patrimonie of her fathers We vpon a desire to separate so farre as lieth in vs the innocent from the guiltie and with all discretion to vse the iust sword that God hath put into our hand for the seruice of our soueraigne Lord the king the preseruation of his subiects doe signifie to all Prouinces townes communalties clergie men nobilitie and men of law captains of men of warre citizens burgesses and all other persons of whatsoeuer condition estate or calling that with all spéede they retire from all communication and felowship with the said enemies disturbers of this estate and reunite themselues vnder his Maiesties obedience geuing him assurance of their fidelitie and seruice In so doing as also being by them duely certified we will carefully preserue them according to such order as we haue from him and doo desire to employ vnder his commandements otherwise in case they shew themselues either obstinate or carelesse we denounce against them all the mischiefe that may incurre by the rigor of armes as worthie to participate in the iust punishments of those to whose iniustice and violence they shal minister either consent or countenance We doe consequently entend to preserue and maintaine all the good subiects and seruants of our soueraigne Lord the king also those that shall as is aforesaid reunite themselues vnto him in their goods liues honors liberties religion consciences without exception or acception whatsoeuer especially those of the Clergie of whom we wil the rather take care because they are more commonly opposed to the extremitie of warre Prouided also that for their partes they remember to loue peace and modestly to conteyne themselues within their boundes whereas some of them to the great reproch of their vocation are become the instruments of these disorders We doe expresly forbid all our men of warre and other our adherents in this our pursuite not to attempt or enterprise any thing against the kings said good subiects and seruants and others to him reconciled as aforesaid of whatsoeuer state or condition namely against the said clergimen or the places appointed to the vse of their ecclesiasticall seruice wherein we will not that they be any whit molested vnder paine to the infringers of these Presents of punishment and correction according to the exigence of the case and the rigor of our martiall lawes As also we do most straightly commaund our lieutenants generall gouernors officers of our armie heads and captains and all other persons of commaund diligētly to set to their hands euery one in his calling vnder paine to the said heads and captaines through whose negligēce or winking at causes any mishap may fall to answere therfore in their own names persōs Neuerthelesse admonishing the said good subiects and seruants of the king our soueraigne Lord of all degrées callings all that are to him recōciled as is aforesaid to helpe to distinguish the good from the bad to preuent the inconueniēces which may more easilie be stopped then amended also in time to retire to vs and to our said lieutenants gouernors and officers to the end to be furnished of pasports warrants and necessarie dispatches intending neuerthelesse that our soueraigne Lord the Kings warrants made since the date of these presents shal be inuiolably kept obserued vnder paine of rigorous punishment to the breakers of the same We do here beséech all states degrées of this Realme to set before their eyes the dommage that hath and consequently will more and more ensue in euery of them by their confusions The Clergie to consider how pietie is stifled among weapons Gods name blasphemed Religion contemned
