posteritie as the onely authours of all the harmes and inconueniences which shal chaunce both to those that be of the refourmed church and also of the church of Rome Moreouer least they should faile to cause troubles ynough they require that all officers whether they be of householde of ordinaunce of iudgement of finaunces and others hauing administration or commission likewise prelates of the church shall make confession of their fayth And they which delay or refuse the same shall be depriued of their estates and pensions and the men of the churche of their benefyces These be three priuate personnes which make a law contrary to the lawes of this realme For it hath neuer ben eyther seene or vnderstoode that the kynges heretofore haue at any tyme constrayned their subiectes to make other confessyon of their Fayth eccept onely their ordinarye beliefe or Credo This lawe is contrary to the lawes of the churche I vnder stande of the churche as they do that is taken of the general counsells and of those auncient fath●rs whiche they allowe Wherfore he who endyted theyr request who is of so great knowledge shuld haue brought some example therewith to haue cloked his wycked pourpose the whiche in dede he canne not do excepte he brynge into this realme the inquisiciō of Spain The whiche was iudged so vniust of al other nations that not one emongest them all would vse or accepte it And yf I shall say the trueth this law is the trappe whiche they hadde sette at Orleans sumwhat before the death of king Frauncis lately deceassed the which can tende to no other but to the ruine and vtter subuersion of al the kinges subiectes For the foresaid peticioners do knowe wel that there be ten thousande gentle menne and an hundreth thousand men after them able to beare armoure which neither for force nor authoritie will euer forsake the religion which they haue receaued Neyther wil they suffer that eyther preachinge administration of the sacramentes be taken from theym And the kynge beinge vnder age as he is there is no man that hathe aucthoritye to commaunde them to avoyde the realme yea they wyll defende theym selues with the sworde againste them who in this behalfe wil abuse the aucthoritie of his maiestie This great and notable companye can not be ouercome ne vanquisshed if it so come to passe which god forbidde with out the ruine of these whiche shall assayle them So that the straungers the whiche they haue already called which is treason and an offence worthy of death shal beare away the fruict of this ciuile warre And for a conclusion speakinge as I doo bothe for my selfe and for a number of great lordes of thys realme and for ten thousande gentelmen and other of oure trayne who will liue and die in thys quarrell I saye that the forsayde decree was made by thre priuate persons who by their aucthoritie haue broken them whyche were made by the kynge and hys counsell And because they woulde execute it before they had by lawful consultacion approued it they put on armure toke by force the kinges person I say moreouer that the foresaide decre is against the lawes of this realme y t custome of whole christendōe againste the decre of Ianuary against the requeste of the estates against the quietnesse securitie of the kinges subiectes agaynst the concience the honour the life goodes of an infynite nūber of honeste people who haue sought to brynge some to deathe to driue others out of their contreys vnder y t cloke pretence of cōcience and religion This decre also is made against the libertie of going to the general counsell The which he that gaue thē the aduise should haue better marked For if it be sayd that in thys realme suche confession of faythe as they require shall be made with declaracion of maintenaunce of the doctryne and ceremonyes of the churche of Rome it is a sentence geuen against them of the refourmed churche wherfore neyther our ministers nor the ministers of other nations muste not go to the generall counsel seing they are condemned before they be hearde But before that the saide duke of Guise and the Cardinall his brother can sette foorth this decree of confession they muste renounce a number of artycles of the confession of August which they agreed vpon at Sauerne and promised a great prince of Almaine that they would cause theym to be obserued in Fraunce And if they wil denie this let them put it in writinge and they shal be answered by them vnto whom they made the promise The saide Cardinall must also put in writinge that it may be sen and publisshed whether he remaine in the same minde the whiche he ones hertofore declared vnto the quene in the presence of a great sorte of honest● men touching the articles of transubstanciacion of the keeping and bearing of the holy sacrament of Iustification of the innocation of Saintes of purgatorye of Images of al whiche articles he spoke contrary to the opinion of his catholike apostolike Romishe Churche ¶ In the request not muche after thys is made mencion of the breakynge of Images And requeste is made by theym that presented it that the damages shoulde be recompensed and the offendors punished Where vnto I will aunswere this worde that the bloudde of them who breoke the foresayde Images the whiche was shedde by the handes of certayne of oure retinue who woulde haue stayed them and syth by auctoritie of iustice in the same place of Orleans wyll beare wytnesse euermore before god and before men howe greatly suche executions done by the ignoraunte people alwayes myslyked me for manye respectes and specially because the same was contrary to the decree of Ianuary also to an assosiatiō which we had caused be published a fewe dayes before But if the breakynge of Images deserne any restitution and punishemente because it is done contrary to the kynges ordynaunce what punishement loke they for who garnyshe them selues so well with the name of the kyng for the murthers the which partely by thē selues and partely by their example and motion haue ben committed at Uassy at Sens at Castesna de Arry and at Angiers In whiche places it is well knowen that betwixt men women there haue ben slayne aboue v. hundreth persones for none other occasiō but for religion He who made the request should haue examyned his owne conscience and haue acknowledged that it is not found y t the deade image did euer crye vengeaunce but the bloude of man which is the liuely image of god requireth it in heauen as it were pullith causith it to come at y t lēgth although it be for a time let passe ¶ Than the peticioners or that I may speake more truely the commaunders require that their armure shalbe taken from them who haue borne the same withoute the expresse commaundement of the kinge of Nauarre and that they whyche haue worn armure in that manner
