THE KINGS EDICT AND DECLARATION VPON THE FORMER Edicts of Pacification PVBLISHED IN PARIS AT THE PARLIAMENT HELD the xxv of Februarie 1599. AT PARIS By the Printers and Stationers ordinary to the King 1599. Cum priuilegio dictae Maiestatis LONDON Printed by R. F. for Thomas Man 1599. THE KINGS EDICT AND DECLARATION VPON THE FORMER EDICTS OF PACIFICATION HEnrie by the grace of God king of Fraunce and Nauarre to all that are present and to come greeting Amongst the infinit benefits which it hath pleased God to bestow vpon vs this may well be accounted and esteemed as one of the most rare and notable namely that it hath pleased him to giue vs the grace and power to vndergo and beare out the hideous and dreadfull monster of troubles confusions and disorders which were rife and ouerflowed this whole Realme at our comming to the Crowne as being then deuided into so many parties and factions and that in such sort as that the most loyall and naturall part was in a maner the least and withall in such sort to haue opposed and strengthened vs against such boystrous blasts of stormie tempests as that we haue in the end ouerrid and ouercome them arriuing at the length in the hauen of the safe deliuerance and peaceable quietnes of this estate Of all which let God haue the whole and onely praise and glorie and we so stirred vp prouoked and bound to him thereby as that we may neuer surcease or giue ouer the offering vp of our self in all the best maner of seruice we can for the perfecting ful accomplishing of this worthie worke wherin his hand and power hath bene most clearely and manifestly shewing it selfe vnto the sight of all men giuing vs to beare and vndergo not onely so much as our place and abilitie did require but much more and farre aboue the same and that in such sort and measure as our dignitie considered in any other time would haue bene verie vnmeete and inconuenient as neuer fearing to hazard therein our princely renowne by the free exposing of our limmes and life so oft vnto so many dangerous occurrences accompanying the same But now whereas we haue found it vnpossible to settle and bring into good order so confused a heape and multitude of so great so weightie and so dangerous affaires and businesses at once and at one time we haue thought good to take this course namely to attempt in the first place such things as could not but by force might be atchieued reseruing for a better time the other which ought and might be determined by reason and course of iustice As for example the generall quarrels that then raigned amongst our good subiects and the particular mischiefs and iniuries lying vpon the soundest and most trusty parties of our kingdome all which we iudged much more easie to be redressed and cured wheÌ„ the ciuill warres the originall cause of continuance of the same should be cut off and taken away Now we hauing by Gods assisting hand wel and prosperouslie preuayled herein to the vtter extirpation of warres and all maner of hostility out of all the corners and quarters of our realme we hope with as good successe to compose and set in order the matters as yet out of square and order that so we may attaine the full establishment of a firme peace and setled quietnesse which hath alwaies bene the scope and drift of all our desires and resolutions and the price we aymed at in al the paines and trauels which we haue vndertakeÌ„ throughout the whole course of our life Now amongst the affaires and matters with patience and coÌ„tinuance of time to be remedied that one of the chiefest and most principall thereof were the complaints which we receiued from many of our prouinces and Catholike townes for that the exercises of the Catholike religion were not generally again established according to the Edicts heretofore made for the pacifying of the troubles which had risen and sprong from the cause of Religion As also the supplications and admonitions offred vnto vs by theÌ„ of the pretended reformed religion as well coÌ„cerning the default lacke of due execution done of that which hath bene granted vnto theÌ„ by vertue of the aforesaid Edicts as also for that they desired that there might furthermore be added vnto the said Edicts the establishmeÌ„t of the exercises of their said Religion the liberty of their consciences the safty and securitie of their persons and goods presuming that they had iust matter to draw them to the entertaining of some new and great conceits by reason of the last troubles and disturbances alleaging that the principall drift and occasion thereof was plotted and layed to entrap and wholy to ouertread them Which things that we might not ouercharge our selfe with multitudes of businesses at one time as also in asmuch as the raging heat of warres did gainsay and hold out all establishment of lawes how good wholsome and necessarie soeuer they might haue bene we haue still deferred from time to time to prouide for But now seeing it pleaseth God to giue vs to inioy some better quietnesse and rest we haue iudged that the same cannot better be imployed then to make it our leisure and liberty to respect and take in hand the things concerning his glorie and holie worship and to prouide that he may be honoured and serued of all our subiects and that though it please him not to haue it after one maner of forme and in one kind of religion it may be at the least to one and the same intention and with such a cariage as may be free from all maner of troubles and tumults that otherwise would rise amongst them and that we and this our Realme may euermore deserue and conserue the glorious title of Most Christian which hath so long since for so manifold our merits deserts bene purchased and obtained and by the same meanes take away the cause of mischiefe and trouble which may rise vpon the matter of religion as being the thing that alwayes moueth the heart and eyes more then all other things besides For this cause we hauing considered the waightinesse of the matter and that it deserueth with all carefulnesse to be looked into and hauing againe receiued the humble requests and supplications of our Catholike subiects as also hauing permitted our said subiects of the pretended reformed Religion to assemble together by their Deputies to make theirs ready and to inclose together and shut vp in one what they haue to say or alleage for themselues and about the same matter to conferre with them diuerse times and hauing further perused the said former Edicts throughly haue thought it meet to frame a generall plaine vpright or indifferent and absolute law concerning the whole matter in the behalfe of all our subiects that by it they may be ruled in such controuersies as heretofore haue risen amongst them hereby or which hereafter might rise amoÌ„gst

with the originall by the sayd Registers whose duty it is to register the said acts vpon paine of paying all the parties costs and charges and where the sayd Registers shall refuse to doe the same it shall be sufficient for the sayd officers to bring backe the act of the sayd breuiarie dispatched and sent away by the sayd Sergeants or Notaries to cause the same to be registred in the Registers court of their said iurisdictioÌ„s there to haue recourse vnto the same vpon paine of the disanulling of their proceedings iudgements And as concerning the officers whereof there hath not bene accustomed any admittance to be made in our sayd Courts of Parliament in case that they to whoÌ„ it belonged did refuse to proceed to the said examination and admittance then such officers so refused shal withdraw themselues from out of the said Courts til such order be taken for them as shall belong thereunto LIIII The officers of the said pretended reformed religion which shall hereafter be appointed to serue in the body of our sayd courts of ParliameÌ„t great CouÌ„sel court of Accompts court of Aides in the office of the Rolles of the generall Treasurers of Fraunce or as other officers of the fines shall be examined and admitted into the places where they were wont to be and in case they be reiected and refused or iustice denied vnto them then and in such case they shal be prouided for by our Priuie Counsell LV.

reestablished and put in againe without further neede of hauing anie other command then this present Edict and without anie shewing of anie other admittance by the said Officers notwithstanding whatsoeuer iudgements passed to the contrarie for they shall be to no more end then as if they had not bene void of all force and effect LVI And during the time that the fines and amercements of the said courts shall come short of answering and defraying the costs and charges of the Officers of Iustice in the said Courts there shall be by vs appointed a sufficient allowance for the discharge of the said costs without any leauying of any such moneys vpon the goods of condemned persons LVII The Presidents and Counsellers of the said pretended reformed religion before admitted into our court of Parliament of Dolphine and into the court of the Edict incorporated into the same shall continue and enioy their places and degrees before enioyed in the same that is the PresideÌ„ts as they haue enioyed them heretofore and do at this day enioy them and the Counsellers holding on according to the decrees and ratifications made them in our priuie Counsell LVIII We declare and pronounce all sentences iudgements proceedings seysures sales decrees made and graunted against them of the said pretended reformed religion whether liuing or dead since the decease of the late deceased King Henry the second our most honorable Lord and father in Law by reason of the said religion tumults and troubles since then befallen as likewise the executions of those iudgements decrees from this day forward to be extinct reuoked disanulled the same do extinguish or frustrate reuoke and disanull We ordaine that they shal be razed taken from the Registers of the court of Registry as also out of

estate as they were vnto the proprietaries and owners of the same to hold enioy and dispose of the same as liketh them And generally we haue frustrated reuoked and disanulled all proceedings and informations made against whatsoeuer enterprises preteÌ„ded crimes of high treason and others which proceedings and iudgements containing reuniting incorporation and confiscation notwithstanding we
