to haue so great interest in all treaties theÌ„ made not to be called neither so much as to be once spokeÌ„ withal was sufficieÌ„t to make him beleeue that the tretie with those of the league was indeed a coÌ„tract against him the coÌ„cluding of a peace with theÌ„ was a plain denouÌ„cing of war against him Neither wanted he aduise or perswasions from his partakers who seing theÌ„selues in euident danger reproued his ouerlong patience wherefore they saw well that they must suffer Al which notwithstanding he neuer stirred but reposed his confidence in God the protector of his right and innocencie vpon the king Queene mothers word who had so often expresly promised him that they would neither doo nor suffer to be done any thing to his harme or the preiudice of the edicts of peace And indeed who would haue imagined that for strangers sakes they would haue sacrificed their own domesticals or stanched the insatiable thirst of those of Loxraine with the shedding of the french bloud and losse of their owne Well peace was concluded with those of the league their edict of peace was a decree of banishment against the king of Nauarre the late lorde Prince and their partakers To be briefe al the war was at once without knowing any cause why turned against this poore Prince and the french armies put into the hands of the house of Lorraine for the executing of this violent edict with all outrage A matter neuer before heard of in any iustice but likewise who will seeke iustice among so many iniustices that the parties considering their stomackes should be made both commissioners and executioners in their owne plea But will you plainely see that the causes which in their writinges they alleage for their iustification were but vaine pretences They had promised reliefe to the people reestablishment of dignitie to the Nobilitie and the auncient authoritie and libertie to the Clergie and to the same end of some they had gotten the persons from others the coyne howbeit when they came to treat there is no speech of any such matter they had sworne to the lord Cardinall of Burbon that they would cause him to be nominated successour to the crowne yea they would rather be buried then depart therefro that likewise they had forgotten Their onely drift was to be still armed vnder whatsoeuer pretence and to place all their family in good gouernments or in the strongest holdes and hauing once wonne that point they presumed themselues to the arbitrators of France And in deede for the compassing thereof they renounce the rest they renounce them to the people to the Nobilitie and Clergie to the eminencie of the state and to the zeale of the Church But al this is found to be swallowed and drowned in their particular ambition and since that time wee haue seene no more of it there hath beene I say no mention or memorie thereof Thus do we see on the one part these of the league thorough their violence armed with the kings name and armor and on the other side the king of Nauarre furnished with the kinges will but vnarmed against the league All that hee can get is certaine secret excuses That they are verie sorrie for it but they could not otherwise rid their handes that they must needes yeeld to this rage c. In the meane time on euerie side they came vpon him the edict of pacification is infringed in fauour of the league throughout the realme are nothing but proscriptions and banishments such as assisted the king against the league being both sent for and commaunded by his Maiestie of good seruants euen in one day are become offenders yet can he not at once abandon all patience hee will commune with the D. of Montmerencie a peere of France and chiefe officer of the crowne one that is not suspected of religion They meete at S. Paule of Cadeiouz in Alby they remaine there certaine dayes to conferre his Maiesties deputies are heard giue out the speeches aforesaide whereupon they resolue manfully to withstande the mischiefe which otherwise is remedilesse the king of Nauarre the late lorde Prince and the Duke of Montmorencie neuertheles by an expresse protestation of the tenth of August declaring that to their great greife through this precipitation they are forced to haue recourse to weapons that as all the world knoweth they haue tollerated vntill all extremitie but that seeing the enemie readie to fall vpon them they could doo no lesse but take counsaile both of necessitie and nature That they had offered and againe did offer in matter of religion to yeeld to a free counsell and in matters of state to a lawfull conuocation of the states yea to submit themselues to the hazard of a combate albeit with their inferiors rather then to see the desolation of this state and calamitie of so much people but if either violence or bad counsaile had stopped vp their eares to their iust reasons that they declared before God and all the good subiects of this lande that they had not taken armes but for the kinges authoritie and libertie manifestly oppressed yea and that with his owne consent voluntarily testified by so many his declarations letters decrees and ordinances that they neither haue nor will haue for enimies any other then those whoÌ„ of his owne meere motion he had denounced enemies to his life and the peace of his realme that in respect of religion they would make no distinction of the kings subiectes but would cherish and embrace them all with like affection and countenance only requiring them to the end to be the better distinguished to separate themselues both from the counsailes and dealings of the league protesting all the miseries and calamities that this estate is to suffer to be vnto them both sensible and sorrowful who are the bloud and members thereof but not so to those that are but grafted in that verie slightly moreouer from the bottome of their soules calling for Gods wrath and curse against the authors of so many mischiefes and vpon their practises and enterprises a vow which God hath in troth heard if we list to see it throughout the whole progresse of this warre of the league Well the war was earnestly begun see we are now come to the third yeare now let vs call to mind the goodly speeches they then vsed to bring vs in tast with it The king Nauarre saide they within a fewe monthes would be shut vp in some one of his houldes without all hope of succour and forced to forsake the realme not to find any assured place where to soiourn The Protestants hands within the first yere should in part yeelde for feare at the first brunt of their weapons in part be won by force if they obstinatly durst resist For the seconde yeare they should not haue past three or foure left those by their saying rather to practise then to trouble theÌ„ As for their succour it

each other with heresie vntill a good counsell consented vnto and accepted by both partes had concluded and decreed therupon that is a great number of learned men of either side townes prouinces nations common wealthes whole estates holding as well for the one as for the other A most certaine argument that all these will not of a iolitie damne themselues Arguments likewise that the controuersie resteth in matter disputable sith that among all nations and so contrarie climats all sortes of people doo cleaue thereto yea after a thousand torments euen to the death Wherefore Christiandome hath nowe as great neede as euer to haue a free and lawfull councell That the counsell of Trent could not bee alledged to haue been such wherein the parties were hearde wherein also the partie most accused and which needed greatest reformation sat as iudge and against the which our most Christian kings immediatly after the battell of Dreux togither with many wise Princes expresly by their Embassadours protested nullitie and namelie because therein they woulde not deale with reformation of doctrine to the rule of the holie scriptures but onely in outward shewe Whereupon euen in the most rigorous times and after the bloodie Bartholmew is was reiected both by the masters of Sorbonne and the courtes of paliament of this realme that in matters of lesse consequence the primitiue Church neuer denied the reiterating of counsailes That the councell of Basill had bound the Pope and the church of Roome to holde a councell euerie tenne yeares a tearme alreadie expired since that at Trent Againe howe farre more seemely it were for the Church and with howe much lesse perill to this realme to reiterate a councell than a ciuill warre a conference in wordes than a battaile That particularly his person and dignitie were of such importance that they could not well denie him this path to iustice considering that sometime there had bin three or foure Councels holden for the reclaiming of some one priuate person onely considering also that the statutes of this realme sworne vnto the king and his counsell allowed by his courts of Parliament c. had foreiudged of this case forbidding the title of heresie in both partes and expressely suspending it vntill the decision of some free and holy Councell Concerning their pretence of the state the said lord King most humbly besought his Maiestie and admonished all the states of this realme to consider how vnfit a thing it were of it selfe and principally for these men to intrude themselues into such nouelties that the king was not of any such age that with the knife at his throte he was to be forced to nominate his successour to this Realme especially considering what successour they pretended to force him to name whom they ought not to presuppose to be able by the course of nature to out liue his Maiestie Also that in case matters were at that point yet were there other more practiseable meanes and such as time out of mind had beene put in practise in this estate but to anticipate a danger to come with a present one an vncertaine with by an vnfallble a suite of a matter not yet fallen by a ciuill warre was as much as to preuent a feare with death it selfe and a sickenesse with a poyson That of this warre begunne vppon a iolitie must needes ensue the ouerthrowe of the people the diminishing of the nobilitie the empouerishment of the clergie the disanulling of all godlinesse the bastardie of iustice the abolishing of all good lawes the totall corruption of manners to be briefe confusion in al things and desolation of the whole estate So farre should we be from looking for that beautifull reestablishment and new golden world which they promise for euerie warre is an instrument of destruction but especially the ciuill which is a headlong desolation as beeing the sharpest disease of a state Moreouer albeit hee were of such calling in this realme that whatsoeuer concerned him ought throughly to be considered as touching his Maiestie and the common wealth yet sith they had taken him for their aduersarie hee most humbly besought his Maiestie either to the end to eschew the danger of his person to suffer him to end this warre with them as being assured to finde friendes and seruants enough to compasse it so as he should not neede to troble himself therabout either else for auoyding the destruction of the people to determine it by a combate of his persoÌ„ against the D. of Guize the late lord Prince against the D. of Maine the captaines of this conspiracie as being assured that God who ruleth the weapons is able enough to reueale his iudgementes in their punishment Neither propounded he these thinges in any flying pamphlets subiect to disaduow as many of theirs are but in formall and authenticall manner viz. by declaration written signed with his owne hande bearing date the tenth of Iune 1585. and presented to his Maiestie by the lords of Clereuant and Chassincourt and in a full assembly of the priuie Councell read word by word in his Maiesties presence the said lords of Clereuant Chassincourt requiring his Maiestie not to mislike that it were exhibited to our Masters of the court of Parliament of Paris As also to the same effect the said lord king of Nauarre did write to our Masters of the Court whom he desired to iudge and beare witnes of his behauiour to our Masters of the three estates each one seuerally foretelling the mischiefes that he foresaw and which themselues haue since seene to our Masters of Sorbonne who iudged his submissions to be not pertinent contrariwise coÌ„demned the rashnes vsed against him To the Princes common wealths neighbours confederate with this estate who partly by the succour which they haue since sent him for his defence partly by their counsaile to the king to minister iustice vnto him do sufficiently shew what their iudgements are as being far froÌ„ our passions of the ambitioÌ„ of the auctors of the league of the king of Nauarres moderation and patience of the good entertainement that the one deserueth at the kinges hands and of the punishment due vnto the other Finally the fatalitie which seemeth to thrust forward this poore estate to her destruction also the collusioÌ„ of bad couÌ„sellers who willingly do set to their shoulders are in troth fatalitie it selfe caused that the king of Nauarre might not be heard in his iust declarations caused peace to be made with the league to his cost and caused that his patience was imputed to him for a transgression and contrariwise the violence of these of the league allowed and acknowledged for a notable seruice The king of Nauar did through his discretion considering the constellation that then reigned together with the muttering coÌ„spiracies then practised sufficiently foresee that they ment to dissolue the whole cloud vpon him for the safetie of others To hold the roome that he held in this realme
