A17076	A narration, briefely contayning the history of the French massacre especially that horrible one at Paris, which happened in the yeare 1572. In the passage of which, are handled certaine questions both politike and ethike, properly fit for courtiers and states-men.

seemed to hold so deere that hee could not be without them were all put to the sword Oh damnable and inexorable Man-killers for whom it was not enough to slaughter and mangle their bodies but that they runne also vpon their goods which were then layd open to the will and prey of these cut-throats who in their owne estates before hauing been most needy base ragged are now with other mens goods profuse and riotous Neither had any good man any thing in his house of any ancient Monument from his Ancestors any thing I say neuer so deare or well-esteemed that could scape the clutches of these rapinous theeues and burglarers The carkasse of the Admirall was haled into the streetes and abused with infinite reproaches by the rash base and ignoble vulgar and a long time tumbled vp and downe in the kennels and durt At last the head being cut off which some say was sent to Rome was most despightfully hanged vp on a publique gallowes without the Citie Oh vnworthy deed oh madnesse oh barbarous furie and most estranged from all sence or feeling of humanity Did it become your enuy and treachery to dragge a man to an ignominious execution of Natures frame almost diuine and of a minde altogether good and great a man fit to haue beene kept for the doubtfullest and hardest times of the Common-wealth whom his most famous deseruings towards his Countrey his many noble acts and the glory of his vertue had raised vp to Heauen And yet for all this he had nothing left him which the rage and fury of the Souldiers could deprine him of But what could not be taken from a valiant and godly man a stedfast faith in God an immortall memory of his name and reputation those neither wounds nor words nor bloudy cut-throates could bereaue from him Whilst these things are thus done at Paris and that the King had willed the Captaine of these men to stay the sight whilst the body of the Admirall was abused in the streets with all manner of iniuries then after this began the seditious Cittizens to run in heaps into the streets to assaile people of euery Sex and degree and to rush euery where in the darke making confusion of all things as if an eternal night had ouerspred the kingdome What say you to this That very many euen well affected to the Popsh Religion were slaine and extremitie showne euen to the very Counsellors of the Parliament if any amongst them were of a milder temper then they Be this knowne to all good men that no light or fluency of Eloquence can be such no man can be stored with such abundance and facility of speech that he may be able to deliuer the deadly spoiles and deaths of that day For what degree of mischiefe can be added to the vnbridled and vntamed lycentiousnesse of these conspirators seeing there is nothing so common as breath to the liuing earth to the dead These men after they had taken away life did either cast the very carkases to be torne and rent of dogs or threw them into the riuers so was a Woman for vertue and lynage most noble and excellently learned aboue her Sexe the Lady of Iuern with her daughters so were two sisters women of Orleance throwne into the Riuer of Soame because they refused to heare their sacrilegious Masse and had rather shed their life and bloud then that they would forsake the true and sincere Religion After these sinnes so horrible and abhominable What thinke you was done next Any brest in which there is the least drop of remorse may heare it and lament The Parisians reioyce with all merriments they triumph openly with ioy they goe on Procession to giue thankes to their Saints and Idols as for a thing done brauely Oh blinde and impious thoughts of men oh trunkes oh stockes and stones Good God can these things enter into the hearts of Christians But let vs proceede and with griefe wee shall see that no sort of wickednesse was omitted in this enterprise They fained that God by a new miracle did approue and allow of these murthers and that in the great Church-yard of Saint Innocents as they tearme it a certaine Hawthorne-bush that neuer before had budded did on the sodaine in that accursed day bud and flourish which bush the Duke of Aniow the Kings brother with a great traine of them of Paris and Orleance would needes see kisse and adore What impiety I pray you what barbarousnesse can be greater then this or what more franticke part is there then that these men should inuent such a m●racle to witnesse their phrensie and make their madnesse more manifest to the world Then forsooth did bushes flourish it was not the bush but deceit that flourished wickednesse flourished for a time the vngodly flourished but they shall wither at the last be adiudged to euerlasting fire as straw or stubble they shall be consumed Neither yet after that dismall day did the cruelty of these robbers and Assassines cease or giue ouer for there were then sent euen when there was weeping and wailing through the whole citie and that in all the streetes thereof many were cruelly slaine either of the Nobilitie or of the Counsellors and Aduocates or of the most notable Professours of the Vniuersitie or of the Merchants Some I say were sent euen of the King oh deede nothing kingly which in euery house and inward roome of the house should make diligent search if any hidden by chance had escaped the hands of these murtherers Hereupon a most huge slaughter is made againe neigther as I may speake with the Poet was then the Hoste from Guest or Guest from Hoste was safe Many persons of great and high name and estimation were committed to the Goales if any of them refused to heare their execrable Masse they had straight their throates cut and tumbled headlong into the Riuer For the vpshot that all in generall might taste of their rage and cruelty and that all things in the whole kingdome might be turned topsi-turuie with Letters sent by Postes and with what meanes they can they perswade the Gouernours of Prouinces and the Cities of the Kingdome by their example vtterly and without exception to make away and roote out all those that were of the reformed Religion Neuerthelesse there wanted not some euen the most heauy enemies of Religion that refused to obey these Edicts and amongst the rest the Gouernour of Burgundy who plainely disallowed of the Kings proceedings yet to them of Orleance and the seditious people of Lions this message was most welcome aboue all things where beyond measure they exercised cruelty and where Butchers were hyred as in the time of Licinius the Emperour to bowell vp the Christians nay more which is an horrible thing to speak to buy the far grease of them which were fattest This likewise is a dolefull and lamentable case that very few Cities at all in the Kingdome very few Townes very few
