A DECLARATION OF THE MOST CHRISTIAN KING LOVIS THE XIIIth King of FRANCE and NAVARRE DECLARING The Reasons wherefore His MAJESTY hath prohibited all Trade with ENGLAND ALSO That He hath given Commission to raise an Army for the Assistance of the KING of ENGLAND LONDON Printed in the Year 1649. A DECLARATION of the most Christian King LOVIS the XIII KING of FRANCE and NAVARRE Lodovicus Rex WHereas about eight yeares since a party of tumultuous and discontented persons abusing the name and priviledge of Parliament by fair and specious pretences and the assistance of the riotous City of London drew the Subjects of England into a most violent and bloody Rebellion against their naturall Leige Lord our deare and Royall Uncle Charles the First King of Great Britaine and Ireland of most blessed and pious memory which they carryed on with implacable hatred and indefatigable devilish policies pursuing all that did oppose them with blood and rapine and wading up to the ankles and neck through a whole red Sea of humane and Country bloud to the accomplishment of their execrable and prodigious designes Which having fully compassed by getting His Majesties Sacred Person into their power after a most inhumane manner they hurry him from one Prison to another continually perplexing him with amphibolous Propositions such as neither in conscience became a Christian nor in honour a King to grant At length with Kisses and All-hailes in the fore-front of their Treason they invite His Majesty to a Personall Treaty who to manifest his passionate desire to peace spread His Royall Selfe into acts of Grace and Favour going beyond all His Predecessors in munificent Concessions Yet even when he had yeelded beyond their hope and expectation and surrendred His most indisputable Rights and Prerogatives into their hands with malice as inexorable as the grave deep and bottomlesse as hell they abruptly break off and by force of Armes drag him to the Bar where Vassals took upon them to judge their Soveraigne and call him to an accompt who owed an accompt to none but God alone and having Blasphemously upbrayded him with the unjust infamies of Tyrant Traytour and Murderer and sufficiently sported themselves with scorne and contempt after a small intervall of time in Triumph they convey him to the Scaffold which in aggravation of his sorrow they had prepared at the entrance into his Royall Pallace where in the sight of his Subjects they committed a most Barbarous Assassination upon his Sacred Person by severing his Royall Head from his Body by the hands of the Common Hang-man a prodition without a match and such as hath filled even the very Souls of Heathens with horrour and amazement For it was the most nefarious facinorous flagitious and incogitable act of Persons neither generous for there was no drop of ingenious bloud in them Nor men for they were forsaken of humanity and had lost the Bowels of manly compassion Nor doggs unlesse of the Brood of Cerberus nor Tygers nor Panthers nor ravening Woolves nor Shee-beares nor any thing but the most unnaturall strange very incarnated and transanimated Devils that ever usurpt humane shape to the vexatious torment and destruction of mankind Nor have these sponges of bloud yet suckt their fill but with implacable Malice they yet pursue his Royall Issue and by force of Armes withhold from them their Indubitate and successive Right and have solemnly Proclaimed them Traytours in the chiefe streets of that Kingdomes Metropolis and all other Cities and Corporations and that it shall be lawfull for any man to kill them wherever they shall meet them within the limits of those Territories as Spies and Enemies to the Common-wealth And they have further declared and Proclaimed That they will for ever abolish all Kingly-government in England and Ireland as chargable unnecessary and Tyrannicall and in stead thereof will establish an eternall Anarchy which they call a Common-wealth perpetually enslaving the miserable people of those Kingdomes to the Tyrannicall wills of them and their Posterity and having broken the Diadems of State and possessed themselves of the Regalia are now by way of sale sharing all the Lands and Revenues of the Crowne with the appurtenances among themselves and their Favourits Thus are they mounted to transcendents not to be placed in the classes or Rankes of hitherto experienced or practised wickednesse So that if all the Records and Chronicles ancient and Moderne Divine prophane were throughly searcht by the most scrutinous eye and all black and dire machinations plots and conspiracies either contrived or acted by Rebells and Traytours against their Princes were arithmatically cast up here would be found the summa Totalis Rebellion and Treason being now brought to the fulnesse of perfection Nor are these Fedifragones miscreants contented to imbrue and bathe their hands in the Kings bloud but they persecute all his relations inriching themselves in the ruine of his illustrious Queen inforcibly withholding from her that Dowry which the King and his Councell in consideration of a large and vast Summe of Money alloted for her maintenance Whereby they have broak the ancient league between the Kingdomes and given us faire occasion in hostile manner with our Armies of Horse and Foot to invade that Kingdome Nor can we conceal our deepe sence and just indignation at those grosse and scandalous obloquies which they daily cast upon the person and reputation of our deare Aunt the Queen Dowager by their libellous Pamphlets those Messengers of their Malice which like the plagues of Aegypt reduplicated and multiplied they daily send forth by which Aegypticall flyes they endeavour what in them lyeth to cause the sweet oyntment of her pretious name to stinke upon the face of the Earth although her unparralelled vertues are so candid and general that she may without flattery be stiled The Paragon of Queens the Glory and miracle of her Sex whose Honour and injuries we are bound by the bonds of nature and affinity to vindicate and revenge And that they might macerate the whole world in bloud and set all Christian Kingdomes into flames and combustion they have dispacht their Incendiaries like Locusts into all parts of Christendome who by subdolous and slie insinuations and pretences of popular Liberty and freedom from Monarchicall Tyranny endeavour to carck the bonds of protection and fealty betweene Kings and their Subjects as they have lately done in this our Kingdome whereby Trumpeting sedition Rebellion in the ears of our people they lately stirred them up to mutinies and insurrections to the apparent hazard of our Royall person Crowne and Dignities which are now by Gods goodnesse appeased and allayed by which policy of dividing Kings and their Subjects throughout Christendome they hope to immerge all possibility of our ayde and assistance in restoring their present Soveraigne and establish their hermaphroditicall Government with greater Security Having therefore upon very just grounds both of Conscience and reason taken these premises into our Princely consideration

we have thought good by the Nature and deliberate advice and consent of the most illustrious Lady the Queen Regent our Royall Mother and of the Princes Prelats and Parliaments of our Kingdome to stop and forbid all trade and commerce between the Subjects of our Kingdom and that Rebellious Nation till they shall return to their due obedience to their Soveraigne and by our Royall Proclamation which we have caused to be published in all our Cities and Towns Corporate within this our Kingdome of France c. We have strictly prohibited all English Wool and woollen Cloth or any other commodities to be brought into this Kingdome and we have thereby Commanded all Sheriffs and Mayors Balliffs and subordinate Officers to make diligent search in all Cities Towns and Ports within their severall Jurisdictions and to seize upon and confiscate to our use all such prohibited goods as they shall at any time hereafter finde in any part of our Dominions and whosoever shall conceale any such prohibited goods so in their custody and not discover them to the chief Magistrate or some other subordinate Officer in the City Towne or Port where they dwell within the compasse of four and twenty hours shall forfeit their Estates and for the first fault suffer one Years Imprisonment for the second five Years and for the Third perpetuall Imprisonment without bayle or mainprise And we have further by our said Proclamation commanded that no Merchant or other Subject of our Kingdome doc export or suffer to be exported by any English Merchant or others any Corn Wine Oyle Skins Nuts Chesnuts Beef Pork or any other Merchandises into that Kingdome of England and whosoever shall be found offending herein shall incur the penalty of High Treason And we have further commanded all Englishmen of what degree or quality soever not warranted and protected by the King of England or not naturalized Den zons of this Kingdom to depart this Kingdome by the 18 of October next ensuing the Date of that our said Proclamation and that no Englishman whatsoever not protected or naturalized as aforesaid doe presume to remaine in any part of our Dominions upon paine of being executed as Spies Enemies and Traytours to this our Kingdome And it shall be High Treason for any Subject of this our Kingdome to conceal or harbour within their Houses any Englishman not protected and naturalized as aforesaid and not discover the said person to some Magistrate or Justice of Peace within four and twenty Houres And conceiving our selves bound both as a Christian and a King by the bonds of Religion and Nature and the long continued League between the Kingdomes to revenge the barbarous murder of the late King of England of glorious memory to repaire the injuries of our Royall Aunt his Queen Dowager and to restore King Charls the Second our Cosin to the Thrones of his Kingdomes and subdue his People to his obedience we have Issued forth our Royall Commission under the greate Seale of our Kingdome whereby we have authorized our Right trusty and welbeloved Cosin the Count of Saint Paul to raise eight Regiments of Horse and twelve of Foot each horse Regiment to consist of eight hundred and the Foot of a thousand and of our owne Free will and princely grace we are pleased to advance two yeares pay out of our Royall treasury and to furnish the said Count of Saint Paul with a traine of Artillery and all other necessaries for martiall imployment and have streightly commanded the said Count and all other Officers and Souldiers of that Army faithfully and obediently to observe all such commands as they shall from time to time receive from our most intirely beloved Cosin the King of England and that they be ready to enter any part his Majesties Dominions as shall be thought most necessary by the said King and his Councell and there to joyne with any of his Majesties Armies and to fight with kill and slay all that they shall finde in Rebellion against his said Majesty And forasmuch as all Christian Kings are concerned herein we have thought good to publish this our Declaration which we have caused to be translated into all Languages that all the Kings and Princes of Christendome may take notice of our proceedings and after our example may contribute their utmost power and assistance for the restoring that injured King to his Dominions and reducing his Subjects to his obedience Given at our Court at Paris September 2d. 1649.
