That there should be a free General Council held if it might be had within six Months and if not then a National Council of France The Queen as to the first excepted Paris Lyons the Cities on the Fronteers all those that had Parliaments and all that had no Meetings since the Edict of January the Churches to be restored and no Exercises in them but what was according to the ancient form and Conde desired they might meet in the Suburbs of the Fronteer Cities The Conference was continued four days and then ended without any Agreement the Protestants by that time being resolved to try the Fortune of a Battel The 10th of December the Prince withdrew the Army from Paris The Prince marcheth towards Normandy to meet the English Succours and retreated to Paloyseau the next day he marched to Limoux and the third to Valenza a place of Pleasure the fourth to St. Arnoul the Inhabitants of which out of fear shut their Gates whereupon it was taken and plundered and the Priest severely treated and here the Army stayed two days The King's Army for so now it was called marched to Estamps and finding it Garison'd by the Princes Forces they left it and marched to Chartres which was a stronger place and had a greater Garison The Prince of Conde was enraged to be thus deluded by a Sham-Treaty and had some Thoughts to have return'd to Paris which was wisely prevented by Coligni who advised him to march towards Normandy and joyn with the English at Havre de Grace who had a good Body of Foot which they wanted most of all and where they expected Money from England which tho' it was very difficult yet the Germans beginning to be mutinous for their Pay it was resolved upon The 15th of December he marched to * Ablium Ably and the next day to Gallardon which refusing him entrance was taken and the Inhabitants ill used from hence he went to Mintenon where he crossed the Seyne and went to Aulnay Here the King's Army overtook them and pass'd the Eure before him unperceived The King's Army overtake the Prince there was in it 16000 Foot and 2000 Horse which lay encamped between the Villages of L'Espine and Blainville and the Horse being fewer than those with the Prince was divided into four Squadrons and placed between the Foot which were covered by these two Villages on both sides and on the right hand with Wagons too but the Duke of Guise was with a Party of Horse on the left Wing The Battel of Dreux Andelot had that day a fit of his Tertian Ague yet he took his Horse and went to view the King's Army and finding it very dangerous to attack them in that Post advised they should turn toward Treon but Montmorancy ordered the Cannon to play just as they were going to march that way which caused some disorder in the first Troops of Conde's Army Whereupon he fell in upon the Swiss whereas he ought to have charged the opposite Horse and by this means besides he exposed his own Foot naked to the Van-Guard of the Enemy which passed by untouched however the Swiss were broken into and dispersed and the German Horse made a great Slaughter of them Danville eldest Son to Montmorancy came thereupon with three Troops to their Relief in which Action Gabriel Montmorancy his Brother was slain Rochefoucault fell upon the next Squadron of Swiss but was repulsed by their Pikes with loss At the same time Coligni fell upon Montmorancy who was in the Rere ☞ Montmorancy taken Prisoner and broke it all in pieces Montmorancy had his Horse slain under him and as he mounted another was wounded in the Face and taken by one R.

much dispirited and weakned France And the Duke de Montmorancy who from the beginning had a great Aversion for this War which he foresaw would end in the Ruin of France was more intent in levying Soldiers to defend the Borders of the Netherlands than in prosecuting the War against King Philip and Invading his Dominions In the mean time Queen Mary of England Queen Mary joyns with Spain being over-persuaded by King Philip her Husband and disposed to it by the Arts of Dr. Wotton who was then her Embassadour in France and by his Nephew who found the French were well disposed to a Rupture with England if Calice might be the Prince of it she I say entred into the War too and sent an Herald to the French Court with a Declaration to that purpose who deliver'd it the Seventh of June The French King took no less care to raise a War between England and Scotland by way of Diversion Mary the Queen of Scotland being before this sent into France to be married to the Dauphin his Eldest Son. So that he thought he had now a Right to Command that Nation to espouse his Quarrel but the Scotch Nobility thought otherwise and would not Engage in a War against England when they had no interest of their own to do it The Spaniards were all this while intent in providing Men and Arms and the Twenty fifth of July attack'd the Fort of Rocroy in the Borders of Champagne and Hainalt four Leagues from Maribourg to the South but finding there a greater Resistance than they expected they marched away towards Picardy with an Army of Thirty five thousand Foot and Twelve thousand Horse The Body of the French Army being but Eighteen thousand Foot and Five thousand Horse and for the most part both Sides Germans so that the French thought it their Interest to coast along by the Enemy and defend their Borders and cover their Towns which was all they could safely do in this inequality of Forces There was then a very small Garrison in St. Quintin The Siege of St. Quintin under the Command of Charles de Teligny Captain of the Troop of Guards belonging to the Dauphin but the Army coming suddenly before it the Sieur de Coligny the President of Picardy put himself into the place with some few Forces and sent to Montmorancy to come up and succour him This was disapproved by those about him as Dangerous and if things succeeded not Dishonourable In the beginning of the Siege Teligny was slain in a Sally by Engaging imprudently beyond his Orders who was a Person of great Courage and Strength Industry and Fidelity and an Experienc'd Commander And Andelot The Battel of St. Quintin who was sent by Coligny to bring Two thousand Foot into the Town was by a mistake of his Guides misled and falling into the Trenches of the Besiegers he was slain and most of his Men cut off and Montmorancy attempting to relieve the same place was beaten also and lost Two thousand five hundren Men and himself was taken Prisoner This Battel had a fatal effect upon France for it made the Life of Henry II ever after Unfortunate and reducing France to the necessity of a dishonourable Peace it became the occasion of the Civil Wars which followed to the great hazard of the Ruin of that Potent Kingdom and may serve as an Example to Princes not to violate their Faith whoever dispense with it Montmorancy was from the beginning averse to this War Montmorancy ruin'd by being taken Prisoner and foretold the ill Consequences of it as he was an old experienc'd wise Commander and a great Lover of his Country so till then he had lived in great Power and enjoyed the Favour of his Prince but now when his good Fortune left him he lost the good Esteem and Regards of all Men which from thence forward were conferred upon the Duke of Guize who employ'd them to the damage of France The News of this Victory fill'd France with Terror and Sorrow and the Netherlands with Joy and Courage The Duke of Nevers and some others of the principal French Commanders however escaped If the Victorious Army had forthwith marched to Paris they might have taken it but King Philip was resolved to hazard nothing but commanded his Army to go on with the Siege of St. Quintin and the King of France leaving Compeigne where he then was and going to Paris so quieted the Minds of the People by his Presence and good Words that things began to settle and the fear in a short time to abate Coligny kept the Townsmen of St. Quintin two days in Ignorance of this Loss and when they came to hear of it though he saw the Town would at last be taken yet he persuaded them to hold it out to the last that so the King might have time to recollect his Forces and be in a condition to oppose the Victorious Enemy Another of the Andelot's got into the Town with about Five hundred Chosen Men and some few Volunteers of the Nobility but when all was done King Philip coming in Person into the Camp and the Siege being carried on with great diligence the Town was taken by Storm the 27th of August The Day of the Battel and Coligny and Andelot became Prisoners too and the latter was wounded At this Siege there was Eight thousand English employed who did great Service but finding themselves ill used after the Town was taken they returned to Calis St. Quintin taken by Storm There were above Four hundred French Soldiers slain in this Town and Three hundred taken Prisoners and more had perished if King Philip who was present had not entred the City and by Proclamation restrain'd the fury of his own Soldiers to whom he granted the Plunder of the Town which was great and took particular care that those who had not been concern'd in the danger of the Storming the Town might have no share in the Plunder of it Soon after this Victory King Philip sent an Express to the late Emperor Charles his Father who was then in his private Retirement in Spain desiring him to send his Advice how to proceed the wise and good Prince return'd him an Answer to this purpose as the Great Thuanus relates it A Letter of Charles V to his Son Philip. Though this Retreat gives me the utmost security yet I received the Account of your Victory with a joyful and a pleased Mind and I congratulate the happy and fortunate Beginnings of my beloved Sons Reign and I render to God Almighty my humblest and devoutest Thanks and Praises who hath not suffer'd the Persidy of his Enemies to go long unpunished but has thus suddenly chastised the Truce-breakers both in Italy and on the Borders of the Netherlands For though my mind foretold me it would come so to pass and I comforted my self with that hope yet I was vex'd that just at that time when I had restored Christendom

the Pope was afraid the World should think him more solicitous for the preservation of the Papal Power than for his Pastoral Cure. The Demands of the French Ambassadors in the Council The Twentieth of May the French Ambassadors were admitted in a Congregation where they made an unacceptable Oration an abstract of which is in Polano Thuanus saith The Speech was made the Fourth of June and that amongst other things they desired That the Missals and Breviaries might be Reformed and the Lectures which were not taken out of the Holy Scriptures might be cut off That the Sacrament of the Lords Supper might be allowed in both Kinds according to the desire of many Nations And also the Liberty of eating Flesh and that the Severity of their Fasts might be abated That Marriage should be allowed to the Clergy of some Countries That the multitude of Humane Constitutions should be retrenched and Prayers in the Vulgar Tongue faithfully Translated mixed with the Latin Hymns Before this the Ambassador of the Duke of Bavaria had also demanded the giving of the Cup in the Lords Supper to the Laity as absolutely necessary for the Preserving those who had not yet separated themselves from the Communion of the Church of Rome but were much offended with this denial and for the Recovery of those who had left it And accordingly there were about Fifty of the most Learned of the Fathers of the Council who were for granting it and amongst them Gonzaga President of the Council though all his Collegues dissented But the Spanish Bishops opposed it and others thought it was fit first to send Legates into Germany who should see and report it to the Council whether it were necessary and how it might be done This was debated in a Congregation the Twenty eighth of August but in the Twenty second Session held the Seventeenth of September it was rejected and all were Anathematized That did not allow the Church to have taken away the Cup from the Laity c. upon just Grounds When the Germans still insisted that it might be granted again to some People the Council to free themselves from their importunity turned them over to the Pope who according to his Prudence was to do what he thought Useful and Salutary Before this the Pope being press'd to Grant the Cup by the French Ambassador about a Year since had referred it to the Conclave of Cardinals and they and he had referred it to the Council and now the Council sends it back to the Pope Oh the stupid Patience of these Men When Lanssac gave the King of France an Account of what had been done he said in his Answer That he liked what had been done as yet at Trent but could not but observe that they went very slowly about the Reforming of the Ecclesiastical Discipline The French Kings Reflections on the Proceedings of the Council and the Manners of the Clergy and in the mean time were in great haste to Establish the Points of Doctrine That therefore it was suspected when this was with Levity enough perform'd there would be an end put to the Council and no care be taken for the former that so this procedure would afford no Benefit to the Church in this distracted State of Christendom and especially to France That about Thirty Years since when Fire and Sword had so unsuccessfully been imployed to Cure the Disease all Men looked upon a General Council as the Sheet-Anchor That he wished nothing had been done in the beginning of this Council for the Alienating the Minds of the Churches Enemies but rather that they had by all means been allured and invited to it and if any had been prevail'd upon to come that they should have been treated by the Fathers of the Council with Kindness and Humanity as Children For to what end were all these careful and diligent Disquisitions and Disputations concerning the Doctrine seeing there was no debate but between the Catholick and Protestant in these Points And as to the Protestants their Definitions signified nothing but only gave them Occasion to say their Opinions were condemned by the Council without hearing what they had to say for them That therefore it seemed more advisable to have endeavoured to have brought them into the Council for fear they should in time withdraw all those who adhere to the Church For it was a vain furmise that the Protestants would ever submit to those Decrees which were made when they were absent That therefore he was of Opinion That the Reforming the Manners of the Church-men and the Discipline ought to be their first and greatest Care and the other to be for a time suspended for this would be acceptable to all Men. And lastly Lanssac was ordered to get the next Session Prorogued to the latter end of October 1563. that the French Clergy might be present at it or at least that the publishing of the Canons might be deferred till then When Lanssac had represented all this to the Council he desired in the King's Name That seeing in the former Sessions some things had been decreed to the prejudice of the Liberties of the Gallicane Church it being an ancient Privilege belonging to them to represent by their Kings or their Ambassadors what they thought useful or necessary for them that this Liberty should for the future be preserved and that if any thing were Acted to the contrary of it it might be recalled In the mean time the Thirteenth of November The Cardinal of Lorrain and the French Clergy arrive at Trent the Cardinal of Lorrain and about Forty of the French Bishops came to Trent with some Divines who were met without that City by the Pope's Legates and some of the other Bishops and of the Ambassadors In this Journey the Cardinal of Lorrain went to Inspruck to meet the Emperor before he went to the Diet at Francfort where he had some Conferences in private with that Prince about the Affairs of Religion The Pope and the Cardinals at Rome were alarm'd at this coming of the French Clergy The Pope allarm'd at it as if so many Enemies had invaded him as if so many Enemies had invaded them and all things were in an Hurry to make Preparations against them There were new Legates and a new Squadron of Italian Bishops who might out number the French presently to be sent to Trent And the Pope wrote to King Philip to Order the Bishops of his Dominions to unite their Counsels and Votes with the Italian Bishops that neither the Reasons nor the Votes of the Vltramontane Bishops might prevail against them And in his private Audience with L' Isle the French Resident at Rome he ridicul'd the Cardinal of Lorrain by calling him The other Pope who had Three hundred thousand Pounds the Year Revenue out of several Ecclesiastical Benefices when he good Man was content with the single Bishoprick of Rome and it is an easie thing saith he for the Cardinal with his belly
