do not liue other then in it must runne to ruine It is very easie to desire a crowne it is very easie for a people moued and passionate against their Prince to thinke vpon the alteration of the Estate Betwéene an ambitious desire and the accomplishment thereof betwéene your hasty choller 's and your reuenges so far of how many daies workes and battels what plenty of bloud sacke and misery the ages of the world will not suffise to decide this quarrell the sonne will take the fathers place and the brother the brothers you shall make a perpetuall confusion to the posteritie which shall curse the memory of your madnesse And how much more conuenient for you were it to abridge so many calamities with a peace a peace which out of the darke Chaos wherein you haue plunged your selues might reduce you into the light which might restore you to your selues to your nature to your sences which might deliuer you out of these disquietnesses wherein you are frō this labyrinth wherinto you are entered which you do wel déeme you can not get out of whereof in the meane while you sée not the end a peace which might replant euery one in that he loueth might restore to the husbandmā his plough to the artificer his shop to the marchant his traffick to the countrie assurance to the townes gouernment to all men indifferently vpright iustice a peace that might returne you the kings fatherly loue to him the obedience fidelitie that you owe him to be briefe a peace that might render to this estate both soule and body the body which through these ambitious is haled in a thousand péeces the soule I meane the good order that hath preserued it which from the highest degrée to the lowest runneth all to confusion These things considered euery one sounding the very bottome whether it be the euil that he doth himselfe or that he is to suffer in these confusions we assure our selues that they who hitherto haue persisted in their dueties to his Maiestie will double their affections and courage to serue him from good to better against his enimies that they who vnder simplicity haue let themselues run into their practises would not be instruments of their owne destruction by vndermining the foundation of this estate to pull it vpō their owne heads but will rather abandon so bad a faction haue recourse to his Maiesties clemency who still kéepeth the gate open to all that séeke it As for such as obstinately shall persist enemies to the king to this Realme to their owne good as they shall most iustly purchace Gods wrath the hatred of man so are they to expect no other but a fearefull iudgement from aboue worthy their merites which God for his mercy hasten vpon the obstinate to the abridging of so many mischiefs and miseries to the weale peace quiet of so many poore people In respect of our selfe we protest that ambition armeth vs not sufficiētly haue we shewed that we do despise it it is honour enough to vs to be that we are neither can the honour of this Estate perish but we must decay And so litle God is our witnesse are we lead by reuēge that none hath receaued more wrongs iniuries thē we neither hath any hitherto made lesse pursuite neither shal any be more liberall to forgiue the enemies if they amend in any case that may cōcerne the tranquilite peace of France That which afflicteth vs which we can neither sée nor foresée without teares is that this Estate shal be brought to that point that its harme is so growen and stubburne that it can not be holpen without great mischief From these mischiefes doo we protest against the wound and those that made it he that made the wound is guiltie of the fire the corosiue the incisions and the griefes that necessarilie they make It sufficeth and euery one may sée it that in that little which we may we bring the care of the good surgeon that loueth the patient The enemies in deede that loue the disease will besides the iron bring both hatred fraud as they that cā haue no contentatiō but in their ambition ouer this estate neither can they content thmselues but in her sinall death a death which we will redéeme with the price of our life and all our goods But rather as we trust in God the preseruer of kings and kingdoms we shal shortly as the fruite of our labours sée the king in his due authority whereto he is borne and the Realme in like force and dignitie as heretofore to the contentment of all good Frenchmen the comfort of such numbers of poore people the hart breaking of such as doe couet the ruine thereof We doe therefore beséech the Lordes of the Courtes of Parlement all gouernors lieutenants generall of the prouinces chambers of accompts courts of aides treasourers generall of Fraunce prouostes bailiffes seneschalles iudges maiors sheriffes iurats consuls headboroughs bodies and communalties of townes and all other iustices and officers my Lord the Kings subiectes to assist fauour leane vnto vs for the benefite of his affaires and seruice For such is our desire Giuen at Saulmur the eighteenth of Aprill 1589.
