A88437	The civil wars of France, during the bloody reign of Charls the Ninth: wherein is shewed, the sad and bloody murthers of many thousand Protestants, dying the streets and rivers with their blood for thirty daies together, whose innocent blood cries to God for vengeance. And may stand as a beacon tired to warn, and a land-mark to pilot all Protestant princes and states to a more secure harbour than peace with Papists. / Faithfully collected out of the most antient and modern authors, by a true Protestant, and friend to the Common-wealth of England.

ask and require pardon of God and of his said Church and of you that are appointed my Pastors by God the Creator absolution with such penance as you shall judge to be wholsom for the satisfaction of my sins and to the intent you should know that I have and do make this abjuration from my heart I confess moreover before God and you That I believe that which is contained in the Symbole or Creed of the Apostles and Athanasius and other Confessions of faith made and approved by the whole Councils of the Catholike Apostolike and Romish Church that is I believe in one onely God The Father Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth and of all things visible and invisible and in one Lord our Lord Jesus Christ The only Son engendered by God the Father before the Constitution of the World God of God Light of Light true God of true God engendred not created Consubstantial with the Father by whom all things were made who for us men and for our Salvation descended from Heaven c. as in the belief of morning prayer I believe likewise acknowledge and confess all that which is contained in the books as well of the Old as of the New Testament approved by the said Holy and Apostolike Church of Rome according to the sence and interpretation of the holy Doctors received by the same rejecting all other interpretation as false and erroneous I acknowledge the seven Sacraments of the said Catholike Apostolike and Romish Church that they were instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ and that they be necessary for the salvation of mankind although that all of them are not of necessity to be confererd on all that is to say I confess that the said seven Sacraments are these Baptism Confirmation Eucharist which is the Sacrament of the Altar Penance Extreme Unction Order and Marriage And that the said Sacraments confer grace and that of them Baptism Confirmation and Order cannot be reiterated without Sacriledge That the said Sacraments have the effect which the said Church teacheth and that the form and usage wherewith they be ministred to Christians is holy and necessary I acknowledge also that the holy Mass is a Sacrifice and Oblation of the very Body and Blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ under the form of bread and Wine mingled with water which substances of Bread and Wine under the said Forms are in the Mass by the words which serve for consecration said and pronounced by the Priest transubstantiated and transformed into the Substance of the said body and blood of Jesus Christ Notwithstanding that the Qualities and Accidents remain in the said Forms after the said Consecration and that the Mass is wholesome and profitable as well for the quick as the dead I acknowledge the concomitance that is to say that in receiving the body of Jesus Christ under the form of Bread alone I likewise receive the blood of Jesus Christ I confess that prayer and intercession for saints for the quick and the dead is Holy good and Helthful for Christians and is not contrary for any respect to the glory of God That Prayers made in the Church for the faithfull which are dead do profit them for the remission of their sins and lessening of their pains incurred for the same That there is a Purgatory where the Souls abiding are succoured by the prayers of the faithful I confess that we must honour and call upon the Saints which reign with Jesus Christ and that they make intercession for us to God and that their Reliques are to be worshipped That the Commandments and Traditions of the Catholike Apostolike and Romish Church as well they which pertain to the form and ceremonies of Divine service and to assist the same which I think are to draw Christian People to Piety and turning to their God as Fasting abstaining from meats observation of Holy Dayes and Ecclesiastical Policy according to the tradition of the Apostles and Holy Fathers continued since the Primitive Church till this time and afterwards brought into the Church by the Ordinances of Councils received in the same of long and Antient time or of late be good and holy to the which I will and ought to obey as prescribed and appointed by the Holy Ghost that the Author and Director of that which serveth for the keeping of Christian Religion and of the Catholike Apostolike and Roman Church I believe also and accept all the Articles of original sin and of Justification I affirm assuredly that we ought to have and keep the Images of Jesus Christ of his holy Mother and all other Saints and do honour and reverence unto them I confess the power of Indulgence and pardons to be left in the Church by Jesus Christ and the use of them to be very healthful as also I acknowledge and confess the Church of Rome to be the Mother and Chief of all Churches and conducted by the Holy Ghost and that other pretended particular inspirations against the same come of the suggestion of the Devil the Prince of Dissention which would separate the Union of the Mystical body of the Saviour of the World Finally I promise streightly to keep all that was ordained at the last General Council of Trent and promise to God and you never more to depart from the Catholike Apostolike and Roman Church and if I do which God forbid I submit my self to the penalties of the Canons of the said Church made Ordained and appointed against them which fall into Apostasie The which abjuration and confession I have subscribed And now as the Sun shines with a glorious Splendor by its beautiful rays to all the world so this bloody Kings Cruelty with a Horrible Infamy was erected to all the world Who at the first hurt of the Admital shewed an unquestionable resolution to revenge his wrong and yet done by his special commandment Then when so many thousand Protestants were cruelly murthered in Paris with the Admiral and Nobles Ladies and young Gentlemen and Gentlewomen he presently layes the sad accident to a sudden eruption by the difference of the Guisans and House of Chastillon and so sends Letters abroad to all his Provinces and to foreign Nations to that purpose yet the same day sends Letters to cut off all the Protestants according to the example of Paris and that what was done to the Admirals and his Adherents was by his special command for treason plotted and intended by the Admiral and his Complices Then those poor souls that were fled into Woods Rocks and Mountains to hide themselves from his bloody Fury he allured into a Net of Destruction by a Proclamation of Liberty Estates and Lives and they were not come home above two days but by his command basely and unworthily murthered And whereas he publickly declared and proclaimed liberty to the Protestants according to the Edict of Pacification now we see he publickly decrees no Religion to be exercised but the Romish Religion on pain of death Making
