early beames being the moneth of May corresponded with the verdant time of his age being not yet full nine yeares old so he was cradled first in the Fall and came to the crowne in the Spring The report of the monstrous parricide committed on the person of Henry the fourth did penetrate all hearts and made a strange kinde of consternation to seise upon the minds of men though it was no new thing in France to have their King torn away from them so for it was fresh in the memorie of many thousands how two and twentie yeares before Henry the third was dispatchd in that manner though the Assassin found his tombe in the very place where he did perpetrate the fact The Court of Parliament suddenly met that afternoon and declared Dame Mary de Medici Queene Regent which was the next day confirmed by the young King himselfe sitting on the bed of Iustice This was done without any opposition or scruple at all for King Henry had designd her for Regent before during his absence in the warres and the reverence that all had to the judgement of so wise and welbelovd a King advantagd the worke with a favourable conjuncture of some other circumstances for both the Princes of the blood were then absent the Count of Soissons was farre up in the Countrey where he had retird not without some discontentments The Prince of Conde was in Italy to whom an expresse was suddenly sent but the Count of Fuentes then Governour of Milan had given him the newes before of King Henries death and as some say labourd to infuse into him some aspiring thoughts for the Protectorship and so to embroyle France which tooke no effect There were also two great armies afoote one under L'esdigueres in Dauphine the other under the command of the Duke de Nevers in Champany ready to suppresse any insurrection The Queen mother being thus establishd in her Regency shee put three things in present consultation 1. The securitie of the Kingdome 2. A satisfaction to Iustice for the Assassinat 3. The obsequies of the dead King For the first it was thought fitting to re-publish the Edict of Nants in favour of them of the Religion And now the Author craves leave to give this advertisement by the way that though his intent be to draw as well as he can the Acts of this King to the life yet the Reader must not expect to have them here in their full length and in all their dimensions He must not thinke to finde Edicts Declarations Articles of Treaties Letters and such like in their entire bodies here He leaves that to the French Chroniclers such publike exemplarie precedents being more proper and usefull to the people who live under that government yet care will be had to insert here the substance of all such acts and not to pretermit any thing that is materiall and conducing to the exactnesse of the storie The first act of State as I said before was the reviving of the Edict of Nants to content them of the Religion who after the King are the powerfullest bodie in France having so many strong presidiarie townes for their securitie insomuch that they may be said to be a kinde of Republike in a Realme yet France receives this advantage of them that they are a meanes to keepe the King more narrowly within his bounds and make him more cautious in his actions They may be said to be like goats among sheepe whose smell keeps them from the shakings and other diseases so they keep the regall power from excesses In the Declaration wherein the foresaid Edict was incorporated there was also some clauses of compliance that reflected upon the Citie of Paris which was also to be pleasd Then the Princes of the blood were invited and expresses sent for them to come to the Court Governours of provinces were permitted to remain still in their commands and divers other acts of compliances and policie pass'd for prevention of discontentments and insurrection Concerning the second which was a satisfaction to Iustice and how Ravaillac should be offer'd up as a victim to her much paines were taken At his first examination they would have perswaded him that the King was not dead but like to recover whereat he smil'd saying that he knew well enough the worke was done for t' was not he but the hand of heaven that had don 't Then being ask'd how he durst embrue his hands in the bloud of Gods anointed the most Christian King and his Soverain naturall Prince at the word most Christian he smild again in a sleighting manner Being search'd there was found about him a paire of beads and a heart made of cotton with a piece of wood in 't which he was made to beleeve was a part of that very crosse whereon Christ suffer'd All meanes imaginable were essayed to make him discover if he had had any instigators or complices in this infandous plot but he still answerd positively and constantly he had none at all saying he durst never speake of it to his Confessor for feare of discovery for so he might have bin punish'd for the will without the deed yet a Iesuite and a Cordelier who were his ghostly fathers were strictly examin'd but nothing could be had out of them Hereupon there rose a nice question amongst the Divines whether the Priest be bound to reveale the confession of his penitent but 't was onely propounded and so left problematicall and indecided for that time Every one did whet his invention to devise some exquisite lasting torment for Ravaillac The Butchers of Paris who are habituated in bloud propos'd a way to flay him and the torture of excoriation should continue three daies Others gave the draught of an instrument in form of an Obelisk where he might be press'd and the torment should last a long time Others found out a way to have his body cut quite off from his hips downward and his bowels to be clap'd presently upon a hot yron plank which should preserve the other halfe of the body in pangs of agonie a long while But the court of Justice thought it not fit to invent or inflict any other punishment upon him but what the lawes allowed therefore he was condemn'd to be carried in a tombrell naked in his shirt with a flaming torch of two pound weight in his hand to the common place of execution where holding the knife wherewith he had perpetrated that most abominable parricide his hand should be first pierc'd with the said knife and so to be burn'd with fire of sulphur upon the stage That he should have buskins fill'd with boyling oile applyed to him That he should be pincer'd in the paps thighes and braun of the legs and that boyling lead should be powr'd into the one burning rozin into the other and wax melted with sulphur into the third That his body should be torn afterwards by horses all his members burn'd reduc'd to cinders and thrown into
would acknowledge him the greatest man of Europe were he not born for the ruine of our party and the abolition of the Reformed Religion This young generous warlike King though too much zealoused to Popery following in every thing the counsels of this Priest as Oracles can we doubt but our defence though lawfull as being for Religion and liberty of conscience be not an occasion to him to advance our destruction under pretext of rebellion and felony After all that Gentlemen you must consider that the taking of Rochell hath extinguish'd all Factions throughout the Kingdom which commonly serv'd to the encrease of our party In so much that of three hundred places good and bad which we had formerly in our hands we have not 30. remaining without rents without soldiers or means to put into them all together as many men as would serve to preserve one alone For although our Parsons cry out daily in their Chaires that we ought not to despaire of heavenly succour yet receiving every day proofs of the wrath of the Eternal there is more appearance to expect punishment for our sins then miracles for the re-establishment of our affaires Peradventure you will promise your selfs some great assistance from strangers and specially from Protestants whom the conformity of Religion which ties them to our interests may oblige to assist us in so urgent necessity But I pray consider that the Germans have enough to defend themselfs from the oppression of the Emperour consider the elusions of the Hollander the impuissance of the Savoyard who hath bled at the nose the lightnes of the English who have concluded a peace with France without comprehending us who were the sole object of the war And if you stay for the offers of Spain which loves not our Nation and our Religion lesse know that he studies how to engage us so far against the King that we may become incapable of his grace and that the succours wherewith he will supply us which is but a little money will not serve but to prolong our ruine by enfeebling France by our Civill Wars and intestine broyles For my self I am now as much solicited as ever to abandon you and to take advantagious conditions of his Majesty but I shall never hearken to any thing but wherein you may find your satisfaction in a generall Treaty for the whole Cause as also particularly for your Towns If your wisdoms find it to purpose that it be more expedient to seek our conservation with the exercise of our Religion and liberty of our consciences within the obedience which we owe to our lawfull Prince then in resistance which though just of it self is held by the Enemies of our Faith no other then a Rebellion and high Treason whereby under a more specious pretext to exterminat and destroy us Or if contrary to all appearance of human reason you take a resolution to stiffen your selfs against so victorious and invincible a power I resolve also to incur all hazards with you though I am sory that neither the advancement of the Faith can be found in my resolution nor your security in my danger nor your safety in my losse This studied speech with the sense of the late ill successe and of the Kings power wrought so far upon the Assembly that it extorted a willingnes to submit unto a Treaty which was propounded accordingly so a little after there was a generall peace concluded with the Reformists and the King being in Languedoc where the Plague after this scourge of War was very rife he went therefore himself to Paris and left the Cardinal behind to consummat all things who amongst other places entred Montauban where Espernon met him and reentred into a perfect friendship with him Montauban following the example of all the rest of the Towns dismantled herself of all new fortifications and restor'd the Church lands c. The Cardinall being return'd to Paris the Peace with his Majesty of Great Britain was solemnly renew'd and sworn unto but they of the Religion took it ill that there was no mention at all made of them in the Treaty they having bin declar'd to be the object of Englands last war with France All the Princes were commanded to be at this Ceremony and because a difference did arise for precedency 'twixt forrein Princes of souverain Houses and the naturall sons of Kings a provisional Order was made by the Privy Counsel That every one should take place according to his seniority of age Thus our fourth Lustre of the life of Lewis the thirteenth ends with an Olive branch of a double Peace one with a forren Prince the King of Great Britain which was solemnly sworn unto by both Kings Sir Thomas Edmunds being Ambassadour for the one and the Marquis of New-Castle de Chasteau neuf for the other The second Peace was concluded with his own subjects the whole Body of the Religion whom he had now reduc'd to an exact rule of obedience having seiz'd upon dismantled and secur'd all their praesidiary Towns which were neer upon fifty whereof Montauban was the last that left her Mantle So that they must hereafter depend no more upon Garrisons but Royall Grace A mighty work then which nothing could conduce more to make him so absolut a Monark Thus ends the fourth Lustre The fifth Lustre of the Life of Lewis the thirteenth THe King having with such a strong hand put a period to the Civill Wars in his own Kingdoms by debelling his subjects of the Religion and utterly disabling them from banding against him for the future in dismantling all the tenable Towns they had for their security and disguarding other places they held to the number of three hundred of all Military strength whereby he brought them to depend totally upon his favor for their liberty and the performance of the Edicts granted in their behalfe he now thinks upon another march ore the Alps for the support of the Duke of Mantova once his vassall and still partly so being a Frenchman by birth though not by extraction And this he might now do with lesse fear then formerly having quieted and secur'd all things in France according to the saying Frustrà foris agit bellum qui domi timet incendium He vainly combats abroad who fears combustions at home The Duke of Nevers being now settled in Mantova the French grew powerfull in Italy which the Spaniard could not well disgest Thereupon a Ligue was struck 'twixt the Emperour and him whereinto the Duke of Savoy entred afterward The Emperor questions the Duke of Nevers about Mantova though not for the Title yet for the investiture which he was to receive from him Hereupon he sends an Army to Italy under the command of Colalto a great Captain and Marquis Spinola a greater was Generall for the King of Spain nor was the little Duke Emanuel of Savoy inferior to either who after Henry the Great 's death assum'd to himself the title of the
