have extorted from me I consent upon no other condition but that for the future your presence does not reproach my weakness and it is by your obedience in this point that I must be convinced of your love These words went very near him yet as soon as the King of Navarre was gone he took his leave also This parting was not however without great trouble it cost the Prince many a sigh and Madam la Mareschalle who had forced her self much to conceal her own sorrow ceased to constrain her self as soon as he was out of sight and paid him in tears for all the sighs he had laid out Things being in this posture betwixt the Prince and Madam la Mareschalle the King of Navarre more in spight to his Brother then any religious consideration turned Catholick and went over to the Church of Rome Before this the Connestable de Montmorency had always been of the Princes party but being informed that the Prince had moved in Counsel for the resumption of some gifts and supposing himself the mark at which he principally aimed because in the Reign of Henry the Second he had received One hundred thousand Crowns of which he had given no account he joyned himself with the Duke of Guise and the Mareschal de S. André under pretence of preserving the Religion of his Ancestors But the truth is it was only fear of being obliged to refund and all that could be said by his Son the Mareschal Mortmorency repuced the Wisest Man in the Kingdom was not of power to divert him This League which the Hugonotes called The Triumvirate being augmented by the accession of the King of Navarre and the reputation that accompanied him as Lieutenant General of the Kingdom the Hugonots forsook Paris where the Catholicks were prevalent The Protestants were no sooner in the Field and the Prince of Condé at the head of them but they began to make their Enemies tremble as their Enemies had made them before The Catholicks would not propose it to the King to return to Paris because the Prince of Condés party increasing daily in their numbers it was not impossible but they might seize upon the Kings person To prevent the mischeifs of such an accident the King of Navarre the Duke of Guise and the Connestable repaired to Fountainbleau with all speed where they found the Queen hesitating and uncertain which party she should take besides that she was weary of the domination of the Guises it is said that the Prince of Condés Religion appeared more commodious to her then her own The History mentions a Letter which the Queen-Mother writ to him some few days before which he sent afterwards to all the Protestant Princes in Germany to provoke their assistance the words of it were these I Watch only for a favorable opportunity to embrace your Party and perhaps your Religion Have you a care on your side and act prudently that after so great an advance I may have no cause to desist On my part I will omit nothing that may deliver me from the oppression I am under I know what measures I am to take to lull and infatuate the Guises and when they believe me the best Friend they have in the World I shall let them see That in Italy there is no such Vertue as Sincerity Consider the great confidence I repose in you and that I do intrust you with my Sons Interest the Kingdoms and my Own It was a strange surprise to the Queen-Mother to find her self pressed by the Confederates to bring the King back again to Paris Before she could put her self under the protection of the Prince she expected till his Army should be strong enough to constrain the rest of the Kingdom to the expulsion of the Guises and because daily Gentlemen were observed to repair to him from all the Provinces in France to tender him their service she thought that time was not far off and therefore expected it with the more patience These considerations obliged her to temporise and her design was as soon as the King of Navarre and his Associates were returned to Paris to take a contrary Road and carry the King to Orleans which was the place of the Prince of Condés Rendezvous and the cheif receptable of his Party The Duke of Guise having had long experience of her cunning told her That the Person of the King was too dear to them to be trusted out of their sight in so ticklish a conjuncture and the King of Navarre who was naturally frank added That for her self she might stay if she pleased but there was a necessity that the King must go along with them and calling for his Coach they carried him with tears in his eyes to Melun that night the next day to the Bois de Vincennes and from thence to Paris where under pretence of magnificence they placed a strong guard about him The Prince was much troubled when he understood the King was in his Enemies hands and thinking at first it had been a trick of the Queens he took all ways that he could invent to revenge himself of her He published a Manifesto remonstrating That the King of Navarre was entred into intelligence with the Guises to keep their Soveraign in durance and to justifie what he said he inserted the Queens Letter to him and offered a sight of the original to any Man that suspected it There was so much probability in what he affirmed That all who were impartial and not of the Guises Party absolutely made no scruple to believe it However those who were Neutral and neither of the one party nor the other got together in troops to demand the inlargement of their King and their numbers increased so fast that they grew formidable to the Confederates insomuch that they were obliged to procure a Declaration from him which they dispersed into all the Provinces of the Kingdom importing That their Majesties were perfectly at liberty and had chosen Paris as a place more proper for their safety that to cajole the Hugonotes who had a design to have seised upon the King the Queen-Mother had thought it convenient to flatter them with frivolous hopes and to wheedle the cheif of their Party with a Letter that had succeeded as she desired This Declaration was followed with an Arrest of the Parliament permitting any Man to murder the Protestants where-ever they met them as persons guilty of Treason both against God and their King Nevertheless no hostility having been committed either on one side or the other the Chancellor de l'Hospital one of the wisest men of his time used all his interest to dissipate a storm that had been gathering and condensing so long But his endeavors were ineffectual the War brake out in so many places together that nothing but a shower of Blood could extinguish it Love which commonly is not to be found but amongst sports and recreations had the courage to behold all these dreadful preparations for a
