Brought unto the said King by the Bishop of Salerno the Popes Nuntio Wherein he informes the King that he understands by his Nuntio lately returned out of England what and how great persecutions and pressures the Catholiques suffer since the sitting of the Parliament there Whence he taketh occasion to exhort and incite the King to the same measure towards his Hugonets in France Also strongly perswading him to an Inclination unto peace with the Crowne of Spaine And for the assisting of the Catholiques in Ireland Translated out of the Latine Copie by J.

our thrice beloved Sonne in Jesus Christ and the Faith Catholick Greeting and Benediction Apostolicke WHereas we are given to understand Ian. 13. by the relation of Count Russete Nuntio of our Sea Appostolique unto MARIA HENNERETTA dearest Sister unto your Majesty and Queene unto Charles King of great Brittaine what and how great miseries our Catholiques living in England have endured since the Scottish Jnvasion and convening of the Parliament there holden how cruelly and barbarously persons in Order and sacred Ecclesiasticks how opprobiously and unworthily the Layicks have beene handled theyr undergoing Racks tortures Gallowes Gibbers quartering of their members yea notwithstanding that some of thom were eighttie yeares old ruffering Jmprisonment reproaches losse of Honours confiscation of Goods bereaving of their Children sequestration of Reuenues alienation of Lands counted meere dung and the off-scowring of their Country and that for no other reason but that they have testified to the World in the two late Northerne expeditions Fidelitie not to be paralel'd Obedience not to be blamed towards their King to the great impairing at least if not to the utter decay of their estates And seeing that by things there already enacted as farther to be enacted it may evidently appeare how not onely ominous that contagious quag of Heritieks is unto the undoubted Catholique Roman Fayth but also to the established State and setled Government of Haereditary Kings and Monarchs not only contrary but pestifferous where once they have got the upper hand and gained the masterie we would that your Christian Majesty should be most seriously admonished that yee may with mature care and seasonable prevention foresee those distempers which are afoote with your neighbouring Prince that King Charles and great Brittan's disasters may prove unto your Majesties instructions and when it is likely that the nefarious deeds of the Heriticks which now carrie all before them in England are knowne unto your Majesty then to us as who are nigher and that yee have the deformed notoriousnesse of them as it were drawne in a Table before you hereupon wee councell your Majesty to consider what so nearely concernes you that millions of Heritickes lurke and harbour in your Dominions we wish we knew not who have the same mind the same opinion of you and your beliefe and had they but strength what they approve in the English they would exploit themselves let your Majesty take heed yee foster not a Viper in your bosome whose feeblenesse is yet the cause it doth no mischiefe not its disposition when they shall find themselves able they do not domineere but rage neither contemne they the Crowne but trample it wee adjure your Majesty by all that is sacred by the sweet cognomination of the most Christian King first granted to the Kings of France for their famous defence of Catholique and chastising Heriticks and derived unto your Majestie as in the same sence so to be no other wayes injoyed by all your rather to be admired then credulous Heroyick Acts and glorious enterprizes with the which he that led Captivity Captive hath crowned you with Lillies by the obedience you owe unto St Peter filiall recognizance to us diligence in advancing the Catholique fayth which your Majesty swore at your sacred Coronation and annointing by all the foresaid wee beseech your Majestie that not only yee would endeavour the suppression and abatement of the Heritiques that nestle in your Realme but their totall ruine and extirpation which thing wee more earnestly request of your Majestie by how much wee desire the flourishing of your Monarchie your Scepter and Magnificence the fayth Apostoliques prehemenence when did more lustre atend your Crowne then after the surprizall of the Rotchell Heritiques Denne when your Authoritie greater or more enlarged then upon the disabling those Rebels of Montauban what stops the free current of Catholique faith wholsome and fresh streames through France but this cho●king fenne of Heresie Let it be taken away therefore not onely bow and twig but both stock with strings be rooted up least by their Commission the sincere flocke of Catholicks may be drawne into consent of the putred and ulcered Cattell and seeing that it may shame us that those malevolent should labour more the devastation and laying wast of Christs blessed body then we its propagation that your Majestie may the sooner not suppresse or diminish but wholly blot out and extinguish that Contagion let your Majesty under most heavy paines strictly forbid not onely the publike convent in Churches of that heriticall Conspiracy but all private exercise and use of this seditious Leaven even within private walls let fit Officers be set over that charge and let them taste of their owne sawce as they use your Catholiques so you must handle them your Majesty being a Member of that body they thus persecute let them perceive that in the ancient Catholique Roman faith distance of place diversity of Nations lesseneth not our simpathy in the cause nor affection to the afflicted put the Ministers of your Hugonets to death when your Catholique Priests are hanged on Gibbers what reason is there that their beardlesse impudent Bablers should range so vnbridled throughout France unpunished when your poore Religious more ancient then able a thing odious to Barbarians have vndergone the raking out of their bowels let others vndergoe Fines of Crownes confiscation of goods losse of Office banishment out of the Realme depriving of their children losse of Vote in Courts bands imprisonment that it may appeare to all the world that your Majesty hath as much power over your Hugonets what others have over their Catholiques and that your Majesties esteeme is neverthelesse of them for other notorious debasing of them neither let your Majesty desist before you have either vanquished your owne Hugonets or purchased some ease for the English Catholiques Being certified by the Agent of the Irish that they burdened with heavy pressures threatned by the now sitting Parliament with heavier as who are utterly debarred the free use of the Roman Catholique Religion put out of their houses Lands Honours and when they would have submitted denyed Pardon we entreat your Majesty that you would by your Ambassadour sollicite the cause of the distressed Nation with the King of great Brittaine and that you would put that King in mind of the Rouchellers whose notorious raysing of Armes and Rebellion yea pardoned at the intercession of that King granting them also all their former Priviledges and Liberties as your Majesty writ unto us by your Ambassador Mounsieur du Fresne Anno Dom. 1628. But if your Majesty shall perceive that you can prevaile nothing by that Mediation We exhort your Majesty as is our duty to vndertake the defence and Protection of that Nation in all Ages so constantly obedient vnto the Roman Catholique Religion which defence will well become the Arms of the most Christian King We farther desire so your Christian Majesty to send Grave and temperate Ambassadours vnto us to Bononia for the conclusion of that so much wished for and heartily longed after peace betwixt the Christian and the Catholique Crownes let both your Majesties thinke on peace doe yee both desire it let each in something depart from his right give yee way on both parties and the Spirit of peace shall accord you and the happie agreement of these two Glorious Crownes shall crowne my old Age and rejoyce all Catholique Regions When we shall see two great Princes having bin so long at such Mortall dissention at length to the vnspeakeable Joy of all to fall at vnitie and two the very Eldest Sonnes of the Catholique faith professing betwixt themselves a Catholique consent to employ their Armes onely against Heretiques and Ethnickes Which we cease not day and night to begge on our knees in the blessed Sacrifice of the Masse of God Almighty of our Blessed Mother of God and of him that being God became man of the Blessed Apostle of our faith St. Peter and of all Saints Given under the Seale of the Fisherman Ian. 28.
