After which my Lord Arch-Bishop of Paris ordered the Abbot De Villars to read the Acts newly mentioned which he accordingly performed and that being over My Lord Arch-Bishop of Paris spoke in the manner following My Lords The King Commanded me to signifie to your Agents that you should meet in this Place that so in Quality of Ancient I might acquaint you with the Confidence His Majesty is pleas'd to Honour you withal in the present Juncture of Affairs You may have understood by the Letter His Majesty writ to the Cardinal D' Estree's the posture of Affairs at this time and the Just and Reasonable Diffidence His Majesty entertains of the Popes Intentions who could not be prevail'd upon by all the Submissions he has paid him not only as Eldest Son of the Church which respects the Common Father of Christians but likewise as a Prince endowed with an Exemplary Piety so as to omit no manner of means for the gaining His Affection Nevertheless My Lords The Kings most Faithful Servants are now perswaded that Our Holy Father has worn His Majesty out of all Patience and has left no Room to question his Entire Partiality for and Favour to the most declared Enemies of His Crown This induc'd him to send His Orders to the Cardinal D' Estree's at Rome and here to permit the Attorney General of the Parliament to put in an Appeal to the Future General Council of the Grievances suffered or to be suffered in the time of this Popedome and the more since the Pope's late Conduct affords Reasonable Matter for Apprehension to that Worthy Magistrate that Our Holy Father the Pope will continue the same Measures in the Process of these Affairs And this My Lords

to the intent that if His Holyness suffered himself to be led away by his Prepossessions so far as to Employ the Spiritual Arms of the Church to the Prejudice of His Majesties Subjects and Dominions the Attorney General might by this Act put a stop to all the Ecclesiastical Proceedings of a Pope incensed against France and that the Appeal to the Future General Council which according to our Fundamental Maximes is own'd Superiour to all Ecclesiastical Estate and Person without Exception even of that of the Pope might suspend all the Effects of his Ill-Will or render them ineffectual My Official has given an Act of this Appeal to the Attorney General who required it at the Tribunal of my Jurisdiction Where this Magistrate did likewise demand of him Letters called Apotres for the prosecuting this Appeal in Time and Place The King My Lords does not question but that you will with Satisfaction understand the Wise Precaution of this Ecclesiastical Proceeding which reincourages the most timorous Consciences puts matters into a Regular Course nay and prevents the Troubles which His Majesty indeed could otherwise disperse by the Power and Justice of his Armes But he expects from your Zeal and Fidelity that you will in your Diocesses employ your Instructions and Solicitudes for the making His Subjects understand the Prudence and Moderation of His Conduct His Majesty is perswaded that knowing perfectly as you do the difference there is between a Dispute of Religion and a Warre purely Temporal you will be able to remove the Alarms of the most scrupulous Persons and dispell the Effects of the Malignity of those that should entertain the worst Intentions to His Service and the Quiet of the State.
