reputation in France but the King having them now fast in hould threatned to teare them in peeces upon the rack if they would not write and signe with their hands that they had conspired with the Admirall to kill the King his Brethren the Queene and the King of Navarr But they having most constantly and justly refused to avouch so horrible a lye against their owne and their godly friends innocencies were racked and cruelly tormented and by a most unjust sentence of the Court of Parliament in Paris they were both declared guilty of Treason and condemned to be hanged upon a gibbet which was accordingly executed The Queen-Mother leading the King her two sonnes and the King of Navarr her brother in law to see the Execution Her Counsellours thinking that at this last exploit what they had wickedly projected namely the false transferring of the cause of this bloody massacre on a treasonable plot intended by the Admirall and others of the Religion against the King as was fore-mentioned would now be wrought out and effected if Briquemant in presence of all the people now at the time of his expected death would aske pardon of the King withall to worke it on the more sending one to him to certifie and assure him that so he might easily save his life for the King was mercifull and that he should have pardon if he would desire it confessing this fact wherewith hee was charged But Briquemant answered boldly and with a good courage that it belonged not unto him but to the King to aske pardon of God for such an heynous offence That hee would never aske pardon for a fault wherein hee had not offended but knew himselfe to bee most innocent whereof hee called GOD to witnesse desiring him to pardon the Kings so great disloyalty and cruelty Cavagnes also the other noble Gentleman did the like untill hee dyed Insomuch that this execution contrary to the Kings expectation served to no other end but more to publish the iniquity of all those cruell homicides and of all their most pernicious counsels The treacherous murther of Henry the 3d King of France by a Jacobine Monke Anno 1589. extracted out of the French History HEnry the 3d. King of France making warre against a great association of his Subjects assembled together in Paris under the name of the Leaguers for the advancement of the Catholicks in France and under the command and conduct of the Duke de Main and other heads of that League whose wicked practises and insolencies against those of the Religion the King much distasted and discountenanced The King of Navarr also joyning with the King of France in pursuit of the Leaguers to bring them into better obedience and therby having chaced the forces of the Leaguers and put them to the worse and cooped them up at last within the wals of Paris and by that meanes brought them into much danger and distresse and feare of a tot●ll overthrow Hereupon the Duke de Main and his confederats within Paris began to sit close in counsell to advise what was best to be done and seeing the K so neare them and strong about them either of necessity like to urge them to a battell or els to begirt them so close with a siege that there would be small or no hope to escape And considering that by these the Kings late so prosperous progressions in his affaires their own thereby went much to ruine Resolved that there was no other meanes left them to stand it out especially being proclaimed guilty of high-treason against their chief head the K. than by executing some notable exploit in procuring the death of the K. their Mr. and Soveraigne Lord Now some certaine weekes before a young Iacobine Monck by name Fryer Idques Clement a man drowned in all wickednesse having passed through the hands of certaine Confessours and conferred with some Iesuites and others of that rabble he was for a kind of promising dexterity in any villany found meet to strike so great a stroake Was urged and put forward therin yea and in the end the D. de Main himself the sister of the D Montpensicur and others of that Catholick Combination had conference with him in divers places who requested and encouraged him to persevere in this good determination of his which they said they knew to arise in him from extraordinary inspirations from above for the full performance of so renowned a service to the holy Union the Catholick Church of Rome and his deare Country they promised him also Abbot-ships Bishopricks and whatsoever els he vvould desire this wicked fellow thus divellishly documented and stimulated to this desperate deed remained for certaine dayes sometime with the Dutches Montpensieur vvho among the Parisians vvas termed the holy-vvidow sometimes vvith his Prior and sometimes vvith the Iesuites This Monck I say being thus made to drinke in fury and madnesse to the deed by so many allurements entertainments promises and protestations of felicity temporall and eternall resolved within himself and seriously promised them all to kill the K. Now in the interim the Parisians or common-people of the City vvho thought nothing nor knew any thing of their cruell practises began to talke of nothing more than of yeelding themselves to their K and had greatly rebated their spleene and choller against their Soveraigne Which the Duke de Main together with his complotters perceiving they caused the most zealous Sorbonists and Iesuites to preach and exhort that they should yet have patience for 7 or 8 days longer in which interim assuring them they should see and perceive some wonderfull matter come to passe that would make amends for their patient expectation and produce much good to their holy Union The Monck being now fully ordered and instructed for the execution of the designed plot departed from Paris and went toward St Clon As soon as he was departed the D. de Main caused more then 200 of the principall Citizens and other rich men whom he knew to have friends and credit with the K. party to be taken prisoners as a gage to save his Monck if after the attempt he were staied or arrested The Monck being come to S. Clon and presented to speak with the K. he having fained that he had letters from the president of Harlay and Credence on his part the K. caused him to be called into his Chamber vvhere was none with the K save only the L of Bellegard chief Gen. of the same and the Procurator generall whom he desired to retire a while the more privately to give eare and audience unto him the undaunted villain having addressed himselfe vvith a countenance very modest and demure neare the K. person The Monck now perceiving himself alone vvith the K. and an oportunity put into his hand to do the deed he mainly came for confirming his audacious countenance more and more fixedly drew out of one of his sleeves a paper which he presented to the K. and out of the
other a sharp knife with which he violently and suddainly sheathed a thrust within the K. small ribs the K. being seriously reading the presented paper but thereupon perceiving himself wounded pluckt the knife out of the vvound and therwith struck the Monck above the eye and thereupon some of his Gentlemen hearing a noyse and much bustling within came running in most violently who seeing what vvas done and moved with vvrath at the indignity of so execrable a fact could not contain but forthwith killed the murtherer with their Svvords who there expired and vvent like Iudas to his own place being canonized and adored for this deed by those of the Romish-League but detested and abhorred by those that clave to the dignity-royall and party of the Religion The K. being carried to his bed the Physitians and Chirurgeons drest his wound and supposed it had not bin mortall but the next day he dyed of it and left the Crowne of France to his brother Henry D. of Burbon and K. of Navarr The most deplorable and execrable murther of Henry the 4th K of France by one Francis Raviliack Extracted also out of the French History HEnry the 4th D of Burbon and K. of Navarr a Prince of the most famous and glorious memory that ever France brought forth yea I say most renowned loved and feared for his piety and prowesse and many other most rare and princely virtues being right Heyre apparent and true Successour to the Crowne of France after the fore-mentioned murther and untimely death of his brother Henry the 3d yet extremely maligned and desperately opposed from the faire and peaceable possession of the diadem of France by those most impious assassinates and bloody Tygers of the most falsly pretended holy Union or Catholike Leaguers afore-said for the very same reason for which they so inveterately hated and conspired against his deceased brother viz his publikely declared good-will and affection toward those of the Religion commonly called by their ignominious name of Hugonets in France as our true professours of the Gospell in England were wont to be branded with the contemptuous name of Puritans and now by a company of base block-heads most foolishly termed Round-heads On this main if not only ground of wrath and dislike this most noble and Heroick Prince having long time bin I say kept out from the just enjoyment of his lawfull inheritance pestered and perplexed with many and tedious troubles and bloudy battles with his Subjects of France the Leaguers who were mightily animated therein and assisted by a strong Spanish Faction among them but in all these great warres and mountainous disturbances the most renowned and couragious Prince went Master of the field a most constant conquerour having as the French History records of him triumphed over his enemies in at the least 12 set-battles or pight fields still unconquerable by the greatest forces and deepest stratagems that his adversaries were able to bring against him yet such is the unstable state and wheeling condition of the best and bravest things of this life that this so renowned and so undaunted Prince especially having at the first openly profest the true Religion and long so continued yet at last moved and overcome not only to make an edict of maintaining the two Religions in his Kingdomes but in his own person to make publike profession of the Romish abomination and going openly to Masse to the unspeakable sadding of the hearts of ●is best Subjects those of the Religion this noble Prince I say at l●st was permitted to fall into the perfidious power of a base and desp●cable villain to destroy him For notvvithstanding that they of the Catholick Leaguer and holy-Union is they entituled themselves I meane the Romanists had now got such hold of him in the snares of their Romish Religion● yet the Jesuiticall Faction being very jealous and suspitious of him and much fearing his revolt from them as indeed he st●ll gave them some causes thereof in the course of his regall government by his faire carriage and facile grants of many extraordinary priviledges to those of the Religion they therefore at last suborned and inticed one Fran Raviliack a French man borne in Angonlesme to kill this noble King dealing vvith him just as they did vvith that Monck fore-mentioned in the former Relation promising and protesting mighty remunerations large revvards and high preferments on the performance of the deed leading the fellow into a fooles Paradise of high Hopes they persvvaded him that it vvas a most meritorious vvorke and so at length fully vvrought him to their vvils therein seeming to admire his person already transformed into an angelicall appa●ition so glorious that they durst hardly behold him for the beauty and lustre that was upon him now upon this his so vertuous and valerous a resolution Thus I say this execrabl● villain and bloody assassinate went forth from them with a most stony and immarbled heart and brazen fore head to doe this most cruell and accursed deed And watching his opportunity upon a Friday which was the next day after the Coronation of his Qu. this Henry the great for so we may justly entitle him being in Paris about 3 of the clock in that after-noone and intending to goe to his Arcenall took his Caroch and as a Prince who then seemed to live without feare or suspition of any of his people living in such a faire correspondency as he then did but this mixture of Religions being most abominable in the eyes of the Lord between both Religions but as he passed on through the City accompanied with very few of his Nobility or without taking for his better assurance either Archers or any of his usuall guard not farre from St. Innocents this villain following his Majesty and seeing his Caroch stayed by a Cart which met and stopped their passage Ravilliac taking this opportunity as having kept close by the Caroch and the King fitting in the boot therof he sodainly and desperately assaulted the King with a long and most sharp knife made of purpose for this wicked use with which he gave him 2 wounds in the left side the first was given neare the shoulder which entred not farr● but only razed the skin the ●d was mortall that blow entring betwixt the 5t and 6t rib cutting a sunder the veine leading to the heart and this wound was so deep that it reached into the Cava vena which also was pierced with the point of the knife This most noble and renowned Prince finding himself wounded to death lost his speech upon the instant by reason of the abundance of bloud which issued out of his mouth therefore they turned the Caroch toward the Lonure the villain Raviliac being first laid hold on and kept in safe custody where he was no sooner arrived but he rendred his soule into the hands of Almighty God the great Creatour and just disposer of all things Thus this great and invincible Prince whom neither so many nor so
