occasion whereof and of the discontentmente that my sayd Lord gaue to wite that he cōceiued thereby he is at this day as captiue all those that were thought affectioned to the seruice of the King and to mainteine that which iustly belonged vnto him and to my sayd Lorde his brother or whiche haue bent themselues against this tyrannie oppression and euell counsell as well Princes of the blood officers of his Maiesties crowne as other haue been put to death exiled or be deteined prisoners Hauing be on all that they were able vnder false and sclanderous persuasions in the same time of the others emprisonemente they haue practised to cause vs to be slayne by the Counte Martinnengues and diuerse other expresly sent to this towne of Montpellier to make vs to be prisoned or to be murdered in a tumulte of the people a thing so commonly knowen as euerie man can depose it howbeit this is a particular matter wher with we will not now entermedle dealing onely with the generall and referryng this to time and place for vs conuenient to debate this cause and all the rest concerning vs and to make it knowen to his Maiestie that without iust occasion this mischeuous treason and conspiracie hath been attempted Now we hauing lately iorneyed into Piedmont to his Maiesties presence by his commaundement at suche tyme as he returned frō Poloigne into his owne Realme to vnderstand his good pleasure and to geue him aduise as he required vs by writing from Venize of the meanes that then were to appease the troubles of his Realme accordyng to his inclination to so good intent by hymself sufficiently published and made knowen to his subiectes to Princes and Potentates straungers and his allies his Maiestie had diuerse tymes doen vs so greate honour to assure vs of this his so sincere and laudable intention to enter with peace and to embrace the vnitie of his sayd subiectes of bothe Religions to make them partakers of the benefite and quietnesse that he meant to them in suche sorte that we loked for nothing but this vniuersall good at our returne from the towne of Suze to this our gouernement there to attend as his Maiestie had expresly commaunded vs for these whome it shoulde please him to send to assist vs to seke the meanes of the sayd pacification But he being still in the power of those that had counselled the late King to the oppression and ruine of his Estates hindering the fruite of his good purpose they haue contemned as they yet dayly do continue the execution of their practises and deuises consuming wholy the finaunces of France in the entertening of an armie in a maner all of straungers as Suyssers Reisters and Piedmontois One part of whiche armye is cōducted into this countrey of Languedoc by the lord d'Vzes a man knowen among Frenchemen for one that vnder colour of the Religion reformed whiche he fained hymself to follow in times past hath ruined spoiled and sacked all the good townes of this coūtrey defaced and beaten downe all the faire monasteries and Churches cathedral and collegiate and taken and robbed the iewelles that were in them whiche now fayling him therewith also haue fayled his religion and godlinesse that he pretended to embrase and also the cruel and miserable death of the lord of Bodinay his brother and he hath accepted this charge to the intent to cōtinue with these oppressers and disturbers of France the ruine thereof On the other side into Prouence is conducted a part of the sayd armye by the Mareschal of Gondy a straunger to this Realme to whome this charge as it is easy to perceiue hath been committed for the distrust that hath been had of those of that contreye whiche wolde be executioners of so mischeuous purposes for the subuersion of the same Wherupon hauyng been made to vs sondry declarations and exhortations as well on the behalf of the Princes of the blood officers of the Crowne and Pairs of Fraunce as also of all the prouinces of this Realme whiche know the imminent destruction of the King and of his estate at hād if necessarie remedie thereto be not spedily prouided We as an officer of the Crowne a naturall Frencheman and descended of the first Christians and barons of Fraunce whiche from time beyond all memorie haue had before their eyes in singular recommandation the protection preseruation and defense of their Kinges their Crownes whiche we desire by the helpe of God to follow in all that we possibly may Hauing well considered that the cōtrouersie which is in this Realm for matter of Religion neither can nor ought to be determined by armes but by a holy and free coūsell general or national and likewise that it is most requisite that there be an establishment of all things in their first estate by the aduise and deliberation of an assemblie of the states generall the onely remedie to appease troubles and the only piller and vpholding of the King and of his Crowne whatsoeuer the tyrantes flatterers and clokers of truthe can say to the contrarie We hauing an extreme greef to see his Maiestie possessed by persones that haue so small regard vnto him that they publikely abuse his sacred name to couer their vngratious intention vnsatiablenesse and ambition Haue embrased the common protection preseruation and defense of the Crowne and of the sayd good and naturall subiectes as well of the one Religion as of the other of what qualitie or condition soeuer they be against the sayd straungers euell counsells oppressers and violaters of the vnitie and common quiet of this sayd Realme and of the libertie of my Lord the Kinges brother the King of Nauarre my Lord the prince of Conde and other Princes of the blood officers of the Crowne Lordes Gentlemen and other Capitaines prisoners and exiled as is aforesayd Calling to our succor and ayde all Kinges Princes and Potentates of Christendome frendes and confederates of this Crowne and all the faithfull subiectes of the same hoping that God will geue vs the grace by armes to come to a good accord of Religion to the vnitie and restoring of this Realme in the former estate by the determination of a holy and free counsell generall or nationall and by the deliberation and aduise of the general assemblie of the estates of Fraunce We notifie to all the sayd subiectes of his Maiestie of what estate condition or qualitie soeuer they be to all the Prouinces Townes and Commonalties of this Realme that will fauor ayde and assist vs in this so good so iust and so vertuous enterprise for the publike weale of his sayd Maiestie and of all his Realme that they shal be pre serued maintened and kept in all liberties of their cōscience exercise of their Religion as well Catholiks as Reformed according as shal be particularly aduised at this next assemblie general by vs assigned in this towne of Montpellier and in the full and free enioyyng of their dignities estates goods fruites reuenues and profites as well Ecclesiastical as other without exception of any whatsoeuer and from this time as also from thenceforthe wee haue taken and do take and admit them vnder the Kinges and our protection and safegard As also we declare that they whiche shall shew themselues contrarie to vs and our commaundementes to the purpose aboue sayd shal be runne vpon as enimies of the estate and crowne of Fraunce and disturbers of the vnitie and common peace At Montpellier 1575. The blood of our brethren crieth out of the earth
