at an assemblie holden at Montanban hee had promised sworne whensoeuer the kings death shold chance to abolish the Catholique Romish religion stripping her of all her goods 〈◊〉 possessions and to depriue the professors thereof from all estates and dignities Here shall euidently appeare how easilie euery slaunder naturally shall open and confute her selfe First therefore the said king of Nauarre protesteth in his conscience before God that with all his hart he desireth and wisheth prosperous and long life to the King his soueraigne Lord and neuer entred into any conceipt or opinion to builde any deuise or purpose either vpon his death or after Whiche be thinketh were not onely offences of hygh treason that could not otherwise proceede then from a dis●oyall and miserable des●re of the death of his Prince which would be pursued with all spéedie effect if power serued thereto But also an offence in all respectes against nature and common sence for as much as his maiestie thankes be to God is in the chiefe strēgth and time of his age and ful of health and further so smal difference betwéene both their ages that it were a ridiculous matter in respect of the difference of twoo yéeres or there aboutes to take suche aduantage one ouer the other So farre hath the saide king of Nauarre alwaies been from conceyuing any imagination as the heads of the league haue done to condemne the king as readie to die by foreseeing the consequentes of his death or forty yéeres as the sayde king of Nauarre hopeth before any neede require and that vnder coulour of prouiding for the affayres of the Realme although in the meane space they cast the same into most lamentable confusion So farre also hath he euer béene from making open declarations touching the pronouncing and foreiudging of the 〈◊〉 and Quéene his wife to be barraine in the flower and best strength of their age as the said confederates haue done beinge a thing neuer practised before in the estates of christiendome and a thing also which the estates of England would not require of the Quéene of Englands yet vmnaryed reposing them selues vppon her wisedome that she hauing gouerned them in peace during her life wil leaue the same for an inheritance to their posteritie To be breef the said kyng of Nauarre neuer did se much as once require his soue raigne Lord and King to declare him to be that which naturally and lawfully he is or to giue any signe or token thereof eyther by preferring and aduancing him or otherwise although the confederates of the saide pretended holy league haue enterprised the like who haue armed agaynst him my Lorde the Cardmall of Bourbon a Prince of the age of thréescooe and sire yéeres who is also a Prince without all hope both of maringe and posterity to be his heire as though the Kinges Ma. their soueraigne Lord had not aboue a yéere or 2. to lyue to haue children and as though we shold rather expect issue from an olde man hauing alwaies liued in single life then frō the kings maiesties florishing marriage in the most chiefe and principall age of himselfe and his Quéene and wife And as though for all that the said Lorde the King of Nauarre coulde not perceiue the subtil deuises which the same persons haue a long time been in deuising against him and also the practises which they made a gainst him in the townes together with the conspiracies that craftily they entred into Italy and Spayne to barre him when the K. death should happen from the right of succession to this kingdom for the which his hope is that God wil grant him such grace giuing long life to the Kinges Maiestie as that hee shall not haue any matter of controuersre assuring himselfe that whatsoeuer it bee that L●●● or nature will giue vnto him his onimies shall neuer with all their leagues practises be able to empeach and hinder him from the obteyning of the same The saide Lord the king of Nauarre frankely confesseth that by a long space he hath perceined the indirect deuises of these confederates agaynst the Kyng and his royall estate And maketh most humble petition to his maiestie to call to remembrance the aduertismenter that the saide him of Nauarre gaue vnto his royall maiestie in that behalfe in the yéere of our Lorde M. v.c.lx and 〈◊〉 At what time he purposely sēt to his grace a gentelman with certen remembrances concorning the very same matters from poynt to poynt that this day are taken in hande to be executed When also these confederates beganne to lay their foundation under colour of the name of bretherhood and holy league That soone aster thepease concluded in the yéere M. v. c.lx and xvii he perceiued the frame and building there of exected by the stur●●● then madoamong the estates stir●od vp by thē diuers prouinces agaynst the seruice of his Maiestie so farre that they would haue enticed the very professors of the reformed religion to the same had entred into treaty with the most noble Prince Cazimire Countie Palatine of Rhyne Who as he will alwaies confesse seeing into the depth of their deuises pretended against the estate for the honour amitie which his auncesters had alwaies borne to the house of Fraunce would not harken any further to that matter That afterward as the affayres of the enemies proceeded from steppe to steppe the king of Nauarre also made discouery of their treaties in Italy Spain of the money that was receiued of the matters by them propounded in those partes and what answeres they receyned touching the same Whereunto the King his maiesty who in his mind could not conceiue so great ingratitud to lurke in their hartes towarde him made it a hard matter to be beleued neuerthelesse the said King of Nauarre vid expect some suddayne clappe of this mischiefe from day to day as a ruine throughly perceiued by him before That he reme●red the taking and execution of Salcedo who had confessed a great part of those things which are well perceyued at this daye which then were endeuoured to be obscured by craft and cunning sleightes But yet the certenty thereof stayed in the hartes of the kings true subiectes That Mounsire who is deceased hadde not without good ground giuen aduertismēt thereof to the King that vnlesse Salcedo had been gyltie of more then ordinarie crymes the King would neuer haue taken so much paines as to send two of the chiefest of his counsell of estate into the lowe countries to fetche him to his presence Neyther would haue been present at hys examinations and repetition of hys depositions c. Whereupon it followed that by the diff●itiue sentence of the Courte of Parliament at Paris hee was pulled in peeces with foure horses as a high traytor to the king and all the estate of Fraunce That by theyr memorialls proceedinges and theyr assotiations newely made in the most part of the good townes of this Realme there was
