to Ferrare applying himself to the Dutchess Renee who used to take into protection all the Protestants that fled to her as she did him and not only so but obtained his Pardon and Peace from the King and prevailed for his return to Court engaging her Word and Honour for his good behaviour in respect whereunto especially it was that he complied so readily with the counsel of the learned Vatablus for turning the Psalms into Metre which the said Professor first interpreted for him out of the Hebrew into Prosaic French notwithstanding which preparatory assistance both translation and paraphrastical explanation so dull was he of apprehension as he is reported to have committed many foul faults two of which sort they take particular notice of in the very first Psalm he entered on which if Vatablus had called his Scholar to account for the task he had put upon him methinks might have been amended before they came out in Print though the Majestick style of the Prophet himself it was not expected he should keep up much less improve to that height which ascendant Poetry is wont to do and their more learned Paraphrast Bishop Godeau perhaps some his admirers think has effected This first essay at Paris ended with the thirtieth Psalm the Doctors in Theology there remonstrating to the King that nothing could be more dangerous than Marots Version of the Psalms cette infidelle fraduction as they styled it for which and somewhat else they pretended to have discovered of him he made another escape to Geneva where his old friend Mr. Calvin says the Sieur Maimbourgh encouraged him notwithstanding to adventure at twenty more as he did with no better success than the former yet what they wonder at somewhat more is that while he was so well employed upon so divine a subject his course of life was not more reformed than to relapse there into such a hainous crime as for which Sentence of Death passed upon him by the publick Magistrate and had been executed if Calvin's interest had not commuted it with the publick lash about the Carfouo After which scandal and disgrace he fled toward the Alpes and kept close in Piemont and there died a Huguenot about the sixtieth year of his age But this goes upon the Sieur Maimbourgh's credit for it 's confessed I have not met with it in any of the Reformed Writers I have had in hand The other hundred Psalms he agrees with Strada were versified by Beza and when finished bound up with the Goneva Bible and otherwhile with Calvin's Catechism the better to disperse them with their Reformation about the Countreys and sweetly to propagate their Rebellion by ' em Their first exercise of this new harmony was in and about Paris where people most frequented for a pleasant walk which the Roman Catholicks took for a high affront no less to be Sung than Beaten out of their Promenade insomuch as the Parisians that were zealous the other way resolved to Arm and to assault them in a fit of fury but that the care and courage of their Magistrate prevented by allaying the tumult and imprisoning two observed the most earnest to chant their Psalms in this Seditious manner But this alas was nothing to what followed in greater numbers Not to mention the fray seven or eight hundred of them made in Vassy where the Duke of Guise travelling one Sunday Anno 1562. made a little stay on purpose to hear Mass at which time the foresaid number being met in a Grange as rendered adjoining to the Church where his Highness was on his knees they having some notice of it elevated their voices to such a height in chanting Marot's Psalms as disturbed the Prince at his Devotion whereupon two or three of his Officers but desiring them to forbear a while or at least to sing somewhat lower they instead thereof raised their note to a louder Tune made a fierce sally out on his company which were not more than a fourth part of themselves yet with drawn Swords in their hands offered to encounter 'em but it came to throwing of Stones at last with one of which the Duke himself who was fain to quit his Church receiving a shrewd blow on his Jaw became all bloody which incensed his followers so as they made use of their Weapons and some few were killed nothing like what could in reason merit the odious character of a Massacre though not other than such by the Huguenots was it reported at Court and accordingly complaint made of it to the King of Navarre as a manifest infraction of his late Edict for Pacification which was otherwise resented by him as appeared by the check he gave to Mezeray cet insolent Ministre as he called him not liking what he had misrepresented of this affair More inexcusable was the greater tumult at Valenciennes the chief City of Haynalt and Tournay the chief City of Flanders Gallicant where the Calvinists began to try their fortune in those Provinces which lay next to France In the first of which the Preacher having finished in the Market-place where he made his Sermon was followed in the Streets by no fewer than one hundred people but in the other by a train of six hundred or thereabouts all of them singing Davids Psalms of Marot's Translation according to the custome of the Hugonots amongst the French Some tumults hereupon ensued in either City for the repressing whereof Florence of Momorancy Lord of Montigny being the Governour of that Province rides in post to Tournay hangs up the Preacher seizeth on all such Books as were thought Heretical and thereby put an end to the present Sedition But when the Marquess of Bergen was required to do the like at Valenciennes he told the Governess in plain terms that it was neither agrecable to his place or nature to put an Heretick to death which had been a good Christian answer if the Rioters had not been more Rebels than Hereticks and Fellons certainly because Sacrilegious robbers here in Purpose as elsewhere divers parties of them in Fact which occurr in the Histories of both Countries for these tumultuous waves were rolling directly toward the Dominican Cloyster which the Rebels had in design to sack and then set in flames But changing their mind on a sudden they diverted toward the Prison being increased then to the number of two thousand forced the Gates and set at liberty two of their company whom the publick Magistrate had seized on and clapt up there sending him a modest message if you will so take it and not rather for a jeer or scorn that they had not acted nor intended more But at some months distance afterward they paid their due to Justice one of the two rescued Prisoners who was retaken and divers others who either were or boasted themselves as if they had been principals in the tumult qui tumultum aut animosius fecerant aut jactantius sibi vendicaverant are Strada's words somewhat more
