persecution These men when they were come began to preach the worde of God and to appoint an order of discipline There was also among the rest a certaine man called Ianus Contachus not long before a Sorbonist or Papist who came thither after Villegagno This man being ambitions desired greatly to be made a Bishop Therefore he thought this a verye good way to obtaine his purpose namely vpon the daye appointed for the ministration of the Lordes supper to mooue certaine questions as whether Copes and Surplesies and such Priest like garments were necessary to be vsed in that ministration also whether vnleauened breade and the mixing of water with win●… shoulde not in the same be vsed The which he did in déede Howbeit for all this contention mooued by him the Supper of the Lord was then purely celebrated But the controuersies increasing daily more and more among them it was tolde vnto Villegagno that there was a fame and report in Fraunce that many Lutheranes were come into America by his meanes and guidance At the hearing whereof Durandus Villegagno being made asearde quite altered and chaunged his former minde and purpose concerning the bringing in and establishing of the Gospell in those regions And when as on a time Richerius ministred Baptisme and sayd that all those things which were by the Papistes ioyned to Baptisme after the institution of the Apostles were depraued and corrupted additions Villegagno made open proclamation saying that Richerius lyed and streight way affirmed that he had rather followe the ancient rites and customes of the Church made a thousande yeares ago than the new opinions of Caluin and other newfangled persons adding also to this that 〈◊〉 woulde neuer more haue to doe with them At the last after long controuersie it was concluded among them that the articles which were in question shoulde be sent to the Churches of Fraunce and Germanie to iudge of them whose iudgement and opinion they agréed to followe For this cause Charterius was sent into Fraunce But when Villegagno vnderstoode by rumors that great persecution continued still in Fraunce he plainly vttereth his minde and declareth that he would stand to none of all their iudgements and opinions but woulde imbrace the doctrine of the Romishe Church and forbiddeth Richeri●…s to preach or ●…o gather togither the congregation to praye any more Thys was the cause why Richerius and Pontanus returned into Fraunce notwithstāding the lets and impediments which Villegagno obiected vnto them who in déede went about to bring to passe that so soone as they came into Fraunce they both might be deliuered into the handes of the magistrate Many in like maner of the faithfull which abode in America were very euil intreated for religion some for this cause being drowned left a signe and remembrance to the vtmost partes of the world of their sufferance for the Gospel And this truly was the issue and ende of the rashe and vndiscrete zeale of Villegagno But now let vs here bring in that which we left behind vnspoken concerning the death of king Henrie After that he was buried his funerals celebrated according to custome the new king Frances set in his roome the Guises hauing gotten authoritie and fauour with the King by the meanes of the Quéene of Scottes his wife left nothing vndone to aduaunce them to dignitie séeking all they could to remoue others to whom the gouernement of things appertained but specially in this time of the Kings nonage and at their pleasure placing whome it pleased them to the great detriment losse reproch of those Princes that were the Kings neare kinsemen being of the same familie and lyne that he himselfe was of But this their authoritie power hapned vnto thē chiefly to the destruction of the Church Therfore that persecutiō which séemed to end by the wonderfull chaūce of king Henrie begā now to be more vehement thā before And the chiefest persecutors were the Guises both for the olde cankred spite they bare to religion and also for the vnbridled and ambitious desire they had to beare rule and to get authoritie the which they saw by no other meanes coulde stande For the Cardinall of Loraine who also ioyned with the Guises was greatlye dismayed and made afearde by newe rumours which were daily brought from forreine Nations namelye that a conspiracie was made against them by manye men whiche coulde not bea●… their tirannie And therefore the Guises thought it best to proclaime open warre against the Christians Then was there newe Edicts deuised and set forth more cruell than the other that were before with newe punishmentes added to the same In these it was forbidden so make any secret or priuie assemblies vpon payne of death and also promised to the bewrayets of such as should make the assemblies the one halfe of the confiscation or forfeyture of their goodes beside manye other great rewardes There was also commaundement giuen to the ouerséers and searchers out of such to receyue diligently the accusations brought vnto them to take those that were accused daily to search houses and to certifie the Senate of the Citie what they had done in the premisses Furthermore there was authoritie giuen to the Praetor to hang and drawe at his pleasure that he might giu●… sentence of death against such as were before him accused for heresie the benefite of appeale denyed and taken away from such as were condemned The U●…cars and Curates also of euery Parishe were commaunded not to be slacke in excommunicating those whome they knewe to be Lutheranes Besides this there was impunitie and pardon giuen to the accusers if so be it fell out that their accusation were founde false About this time Sathan who séeket●… all that he may the destruction of Christes Church to the ende nothing might be left vndone that might by any meanes hurt the same taketh newe wayes in hand as ye shall heare by this which followeth So it was that two false brethren fled from th●… Church of Paris One of them was a Goldsmyth by his occupation whome the Lorde had sometime vsed as he doth oftentimes other hypocrites as a meane in bringing many men to the knowledge of him the other was a certaine Painters seruant The first of these two which was the Goldsmith being for his wickednesse and euill life excommunicate from the Church came to Democharis the Inquisitor and tolde him that he knewe many things concerning the Lutheranes and that he for sooke their companie for this cause that he might so much as lay in him worke their destruction And so whatsoeuer he knewe might be hurtful to the faithfull the same he declared to the Inquisitor giuing vnto him the names of such as were chief of the church and burdening them with grieuous crimes To be short he left nothing vntold that might serue any maner of way to be hurtfull vnto them To this fellowe the Inquisitor gaue diligent eare and encouraged him with great commendations to

The speciall cause that moued the sayde Petrus Ramus to spende his trauaile in penning these Commentaries in the Latine toung was as you maye perceyue by hys preface in the beginning of this Booke that all Christian Realmes might be certifyed of the true originall and cause of all the warres troubles and sheding of Innocente bloude that haue beene from the yeare of our Lorde God. 1557. vntill this present daye To the ende therefore that his desire might be the better satisfyed when I had considered the worthinesse of his trauaile and what great fruite woulde spring of the same to al that will vouchsafe to spende sometime in reading of this worke for that all men vnderstande not the Latine toung I thought good to translate the same into Englishe that none of our Countreymen might be stayed from the taste of such fruite as will growe thereof And as I haue spente sometime in translating this firste parte so I meane God willing to goe forwarde with the other two partes the seconde beeing nowe in hande and shall bee printed if God permitte against the nexte Terme In the meane tyme I beseech thee right Christian Reader contente thy selfe with this accept my labor and requite my good will with diligent reading of the same Before the which I shall desire thee to correct with thy pen suche faults as I haue here caused to be noted In so doing no one sentence I trust shal seeme obscure vnto thee Faultes escaped in Printing Line 2.

fauour with the people who in open assembles would so frankely set out and b●…ag of the fame and glory of a forreine Prince and such a one as might the easier an●…oy them by reason hee was so neare adioyning vnto them yea certaine Orations that he had made of that matter were at the Cardinall Granuillans commaunded printed at Andwerpe and published abrode Wherefore the people encouraged by the example of Monsieur Begat began to talke of the Spanish Kings name and to boast and vaunt themselues of his fauour and the Papistes in euery place mingled and enterlarded the Catholique authority and power of Spain with the affaires of Fraunce as though the King of Spaine had had the ordering of Religion there and the gouernment and moderation of the Kinges Edict Monsieur Curee who as we haue beefore declared had valiantly behaued himselfe in the vauntgard of the battayle of Dreux vnder the Prince of Conde was by the Kings commaundement ruler and gouernour ouer the Prouince of Vendosme a man much giuen to the stu die and embracing of the reformed religion and therefore greatly hated of al the papists in so much that the filthy bloudsuckers encouraged by the impunitie of the hau●…cke made vpon the faithful of Macine and hauing their handes red and dyed with the bloud of the miserable subiectes began nowe to conspire the death of their head and ruler and laying snares and ambushementes for him set vpon him suspecting no such thing and cruelly flue him Monsieur Curee his wyfe and his brother complained of the matter to the King declaringe what an horrible villany was committed vpon the person of the Kinges Lieuftenant and after they had taryed and wayted at the Court sir whole wéekes at the last wyth great sute much a do they obtayned that the murther should be brought in question and examination Whervpon the doers of the déed were accused and apprehended and when the case was proued by so many certaine and euident argumentes that euerye man thought it should haue proceded on be put in further execution that no man could withstand it behold sodenly those hainous and trayterous murtherers were deliuered dispatched out of hand by the Kings commaundment he that apprehended them sent them to ward was cōmaunded to apeare and that vnder payn of sharpe punnishment to giue accompte of his doinges for hee was charged to haue done more then his commission would beare him in his house was made flat with the groūd and he him selfe appeared and was throwen into prison and very hardly at length got out again The murtherers as though they had done well were not onely pardoned and forgiuen but had also great rewardes for their wel doinges and offices also bestowed vpon them A notable surely and an euill example of contemning and ouerthrowing of Iustyce There came out also about this tyme the Kings letters contayning certeyne newe exceptions against the Edict That it shold not be lawful for any Ministers of the reformed they terme it new Religion to dwel or inhabite in any other place then in suche as were in euery prouince appointed for the hearing of sermons for this purpose that they might not visite and comfort the sick nor take any héed or care of the housholdes and families of the faythfull And that it should not be lawfull for any of that profession to be schoolemaisters or keepe any open schoole for to bring vp or teache yonge children And this was the old fetch of the Cardinall of Lorraine that taking away all discipline the puritie of doctrine should vtterly decay and that all knowledge of good learning and liberall Sciences being banished the study and desire of trueth might be darkened with the duskie and lothsome clowds of barbarous and sauage ignorance A practise vsed in tymes paste by Iulian the Apostate and now put in vre agayne by the Cardinall a good and cunning scholler in suche matters and worthie of such a maister whereby he might declare him selfe an open and manifest enemie to al humanitie and pure doctrine Notwithstanding there were causes and matter pretended that in shew were very godly as That it was so enacted to the end all things might bee done in good order and least that the greater part of his subiectes beeing thereby stirred vp might gyue occasions of new trou bles not that it was the Kings pleasure to chaunge or alter any thing in the Edict but that this was the very plain exposition of his Maiesties pleasure which he commaūdeth and willeth to be receyued and kepte of all his subiectes The King as we said before vnder coulor to suruay and vewe his Realme came to Paris and from thence he first went to Troye a noble and famouse citie of Campaigne thence he remoued to Lions and so along through Dolpheny Prouance and Languedoc towardes Ba●…onne a Citie of Guian situat vpon the Sea coaste and next adioyning to Spayne that there the Sacred league might be made and established as hereafter we will shewe in place conuenient It were a long and tedious matter to rehearse here what was done in euery Citie what complayntes and supplicacions were put vp to the Kinge what iniuries done to the protestants and what sleightes and deuises were forged and practised to enflame and encense the yong King against Religion that must be done hereafter by some more large and perfect historie But wee because we meane but to drawe out briefe and shorte notes of the warres will briefly setting apart all long discourses of so large and copiouse matter set forth the summe of that was done in this progresse The papists spared no sleightes no forgerie no lies no saucie malapart●…es no imp●…dencie nor any kinde of malicious spyghtfull wickednes whereby they might by any way procure hatred and enuie against the protest and 〈◊〉 and their cause I se●…aunder no man for 〈◊〉 I am bond by reason order of this my enterprise to say the trueth I will not spare to speak it From euery quarter came great flockes of the faithefull complayninge of their wronges supplications were offered vp but when any satisfaction was to be made to their complaintes they were so posted ouer from this man to that man from this place to that place that whilest the executiō of law and equitie was prolonged and differred Iustice was quight gone and fled from amongst them We haue spoken before of the accusation commenced against the Admirall as though he had ben authour of the Duke of Guises death and of his aunswer there too But because the matter séemed likely to bréede further trouble and that it was such as might hinder and disquiet his progresse both partes being so earnestly bent to wrath and reuengement the King thought it best to decide and take vp the matter before he procéeded any further on his iourney Wherefore at Molins the chief Citie of the Dukedome of Bourbone the Admirall was

fled into the enimies campe Some say it was Bondot one of the archers of the Kings guard When the womans confession was brought to the King he immediatly called Monsieur de Nance Captaine of his guarde and commaunded him to apprehend Challey and bring him to him Challey assoone as he heard the stroke of the péece fled into the Kings Castle called the Louure and hid him in the duke of Guises chamber from whence he conueyed himselfe awaye assoone as he had heard of the kings commaundement When de Nance was informed of his departure he aunswered that Challey was a Gentleman of good worship and there was no doubt but when neede were he would appeare before the King and the Magistrates While these things were doing and the Admirals wounde in dressing Theligny went by his cōmaundement to the king and moste humbly besought him in the name of his father in lawe that his Maiestie would voutsafe to come vnto him for that his life séemed to be in perill and that he hadde certaine things to say greatly importing to the Kings safetie which he well knewe that none in his Realme durst declare to his maiestie The King courteously answered that he would willingly go to him and within a little while after he sette forwarde The Quéene mother went with him and the Duke of Aniow the Duke of Monpensier a most affectionate subiect to the church of Rome the Count de Rhetz the Queene mothers great familiar Chauigny and Entragny whiche afterwarde were chiefe ringleaders in the butcherie of Paris When the King had louingly saluted the Admirall as he was wont to do and had gently asked him some questions cōcerning his hurt and the state of his health and the Admirall had answered with such a milde and quiet countenaunce that all they that were present wondered at his temperance and patience the King being much moued as it séemed sayd The hurt my Admirall is done to thée but the dishonour to me but by the death of God saith he I swear I wil so seuerely reuenge bothe the hurte and the dishonor that it shall neuer be forgotten He asked him also howe he liked of the Iudges that he had chosen to whome he had giuen commission for examining the matter The Admirall answered that he coulde not but very well like of those that his maiestie had allowed of yet he besought him if he thought it good that Cauagnes mighte be called to counsell with them albeit that it was no hard matter to find out for it was no doubt sayde he that this good turne was done him by the Duke of Guise the reuenge whereof he referred to god This onely he most heartily and humbly besought of his royall maiestie that the facte might be duely enquired vpon The King answered that he would take earnest care of it and reuenge that iniurie with no lesse seueritie than if it had bin done to himselfe Then the Kings brethren and their mother withdrawing themselues a while the Admirall as it was afterwarde knowne by his owne report began to aduise the King to haue in memorie those things that he had ofte tolde him of the daungerous intentions of certain persons and he tolde him that though he himselfe had receiued a great wounde yet there was no lesse hanging ouer the Kings heade and that long ago there was treason in practizing against his life which if he would doe wisely he shoulde auoyde betimes Further he sayd that though so soone as God should take him to himselfe out of this life he doubted not but that his fame should be brought into sundrie slaunders by enuious persons and such as ought him euil wil by reason of the late warres neuerthelesse he had oftentimes disclosed vnto the King the authors of the dissentions and opened the causes thereof and that ●…od was his witnesse of his moste faithfull heart to the King a●… the common weale and that he had neuer holden any th●…g dearer than his countrey and the publike safetie The King after such answere ●…ade here vnto as he thought best spake aloude and heartily entreated the Admirall to suffer himselfe to be remoued into his Castle of Louure for that he thought some perill least there shoulde arise some sedition among the commons alreadie in disorder or any stirre in that madde and troublesome Citie Wherto this speech of the king tended could not then be vnderstoode For though the communaltie of Paris hath euer bene accompted the most foolishe and madde of all other yet is it euer most easily appeased not only with the comming and presence of the King but also wyth the very sounde of his name The Admirall most humbly and largely thanked the King and made his excuse vpon the c●…ūsell of the Phisitions whiche feared that shaking woulde encrease his payne and therefore had taken order that he should not be stirred out of his place Then the Count de Rhetz turning to certaine Gentlemen of the Admirals friendes sayde I would the Admirall would follow the Kings counsell for it is to he feared that some suche stirmay aryse in the towne as the king shal not easily be able to appease Which speach being vttered although no man did yet suspecte whereto that aduise tended yet the Admirall and his friendes thought it good to request of the King to assigne vnto him certaine of the souldiers of the guarde for his safetie The King answered that he verie well liked of that deuise and that he was fully determined to prouide aswell for the Admirals safetie as for his owne and that he would preserue the Admirall as the ball of his eye and that he had in admiration the constancie and fortitude of the man and that he neuer before that time beleeued that there could be so great valiātnesse of courage in any mortal person Therewith the Duke of Aniow the Kings brother commanded Cossin Captaine of the Kings guarde to place a certaine band of souldiers to warde the Admiralles gate There coulde hardly a man be founde more hatefull against the Admiralles part nor more affected to the Guisians than this Cossin whiche the successe playnly proued as hereafter shall appeare The Duke of Aniow further added that he thought it should be good for the Admirall if moe of his friendes and familiars that lodged in the Fauxburges did drawe ▪ nearer aboute him and forthewith he commaunded the Kings herbingers to warne those to whome they hadde before assigned lodgings in that streat to remoue from thence and to place the Admirals f●…iendes in their roomes Which counsell was suche as none coulde possibly be deuised more fit for those things that followed For those whiche might haue by flight escaped out of the suburbes were nowe holden fast inough being enclosed not only within the walles of the towne
