it oblige the Emperour to violate his Faith But the Ecclesiastical Tribunal that had not given any word made John Hus his Process Prov. That distinction seems pleasant to me I have heard say that the Church does not put its hand into blood When John Hus was convicted of Heresie by the Council he was delivered without doubt to the secular Arm to be burnt Those Secular Judges were not they Imperial Judges Thus the Emperour violated his safe Conduct in permitting his Judges to put a Man to Death to whom he had promised all security But what do they say of Jerome of Prague to whom the Council it self had given a safe Conduct and yet was burnt Par. They say that the Council in the safe Conduct that was given to Jerome of Prague had inserted this Clause Salva Justitia that thus they had only promis'd to warrant Jerome of Prague from violence and not from the arrests of Justice But I avow to you that all this is not capable of justifying the Conduct of that Council Neither does it pass in France for a Rule that they will follow If they do not keep with the Hugonots all that has been promised them it is not that they ground themselves upon the Morality and the Conduct of the Council of Constance They do not pretend to depart from good Faith they make profession of keeping the Edict of Nantes Do you not see this at the Head of all the Declarations which are made against them And now lately in that by which the Catholicks are forbidden to embrace the P. R. Religion upon pain of Confiscation of goods loss of Honour and Banishment though that never any Declaration was made that was more contrary to the Edicts of Nantes We have one called Bernard and another Lawyer of the City of Poictiers called Tilleau who have made large Commentaries upon the Edict of Nantes for to make appear that without formally revoking that Edict the Hugonots may be deprived of all that Edict grants them in giving to every one of the Articles Interpretations and Glosses that would never have been im●●●…ed And these are the 〈…〉 Prov. This is good for an●●…ing But after all this does not satisfie the Conscience and one is no less convinced of having violated his word For those who obtain Arrests against the Hugonots according to the Glosses of Bernard and Tilleau are well perswaded that they are Glosses of Orleans which overturn the Text. But do you know what I told my Hugonot to stop his Mouth upon these Infractions in the Edicts Par. Perhaps you told him that one is not obliged to keep a word that has been extorted by violence that the Hugonots have obtained those Edicts by main force That ours were constrained to yield to the misery of the times but that at present the King is in Right of Nulling those promises Our Advocates plead daily thus at the Bars and there are likewise grave Authors who write it Prov. You have guessed right but thereupon my Hugonot grew strangely passionate Ah! this is said he a cruelty we cannot suffer This is our strength and they are so bold as to attacque us in this part as if it was our weak side It is true that we were armed some years before that the Edict of Nantes was made But in favour of whom did we bear those Arms It was to establish the Illustrious branch of Bourbon upon the Throne that belonged to it VVe shall ever be proud of having shed the purest of our Blood to restore to France it 's legitimate Kings there was a design of depriving it of After this growing more cool he made me an abridgement of the History of the League He made me see that the House of Lorrain in that time aimed less at Heresy than at the Crown He made me remember that from the time of Charles the 9th the Princes of that House caused a Book to be Printed for the proving their Genealogy and to make appear that they were descended in a direct Line from the Second Race of our Kings for the making way to the Crown He acquainted me that there was at the same time a Concordat passed between the Duke of Guise the Duke of Montmorency and the Marshall de St. Andrew which was called the Triumvirate One of the Articles of that Concordat boar in express terms that the Duke of Guise should have in charge to deface intirely the name of the Family and Race of the Bourbons Henry the Third said he to me could he be suspected of Heresie or aider of Hereticks Never was any man more linked to the Catholick Church than he Yet the House of Guise had sworn his ruin They would have shaved him which they highly threatned him with and they one day writ upon the Chappel of the Battes to the Augustins of Paris these four French Verses The Bones of those who here lye dead Like a Burgundy Cross to thee are shown Do make appear thy days are fled And that thou shalt lose thy Crown They are of the same sense with those two Latin Verses which were found set upon the Palace Dyal Qui dedit ante duas unam abstulit altera nutas Tertia tonsoris nunc facienda manu The Faction of the House of Guise caused this to be done And this poor Prince after a thousand delays and troubles resolved at length to make that execution so famous in our History it is that of the Duke and Cardinal of Guise who were executed at the States of Blois That Prince must needs have seen his ruin approaching and inevitable to come to that since that he well foresaw that this blow would raise him so many storms and give him so much trouble Who knows not that the Faction of Rome and of Spain had a Design of rasing the House of Lorrain upon the Throne of France for the excluding the House of Bourbon In the year 1587. the Pope sent to the Duke of Guise a Sword engraven with flames telling him by the Duke of Parma that amongst all the Princes of Europe it only belonged to Henry of Lorrain to bear the arms of the Church and to be the Chief thereof Almost all the Kingdom was engaged in that Spirit of revolt The King found no other support than the King of Navar and of his Hugonots It was Chastillon the Son of the Admiral de Coligny who saved the King from the hands of the Duke of Mayenne at Tours This Chief of the League cryed to him retire you white Scarfs retire you Chastillon it is not you we aim at it is the Murderer of your Father And in truth Henry the Third then Duke of Anjou was President in the Council when the Resolution was taken of making the Massacre of St. Bartholomew in which the Admiral Coligny perished But his Son forgetting that injury to save his King answered those Rebels You are Traytors to your Country and when the Service of the Prince and State is
