learned by experience that pittie preuailed more then fauour Finally that hereupon they néeded not long to beate their braines but that hee was to be conuayed away and dispatched out of hande Hereunto they all condescend Now vpon the death of their Lord the seruantes determine the annointed of the Lord and reuerented of so many Nations is bequeathed vnto their bloudie swordes The day nowe appointed and their desperate wickednesse sealed with an oth they all depart It was not néedefull to haue any bewraying hereof for it was not vnknowen but vnto them which were remooued into the vtmost partes of Europe that this was the Guises pretence and had béene long since To what end tended else the arming of his rebellious bandes so often against his Prince But certaine it is that he was aduertised by the Duke de Mayne yet liuing of his brothers vngodly practises wyth these words that his Maiesty should take héede of a furious and desperate mind And one of the conspirators as it is most alwayes séene in such-like actions moued in conscience disclosed vnto his Maiesty the whole conspiracie the day appointed the tokens the conspirators themselues but in so short a tyme that he had scarce opportunitie to escape this imminont daunger The king now destitute of al meanes of deliberation and beaton wyth his owne rod ouerthrowed not the conspirators but preuented them in one day There was hope that this burning fire of ciuill broyles should haue bin quenched séeing that the flaming torches of these tumults were now extinguished And it pleased God Sirtus that France should nowe enioie peace but not thy Holinesse Hereupon the conspirators who were not the better but the greater parte beganne to hang downe theyr heades to séeke holes to hide themselues and through feare to runne to their holdes and places of defence One parte gaue ouer their enterprise and brake their faith giuen But shortly after when they saw that the Prince by some fatall and disasterous leuitie vsed no further rigour against them that he was satisfied wyth the punishment of two only that he had but imprisoned sixe and had sent away the rest vntouched and that the siege of Orleans which hée had begunne to batter but slackely was raysed by the comming of the Mayne Then suddenly they beganne to runne as mad men beganne to strike alarme to surprise Citties to slaunder the name and credite of their Prince wyth diuerse outragious speaches To disanull and abolishe the Lawes the Magistrates and all that was royall in the Realme all that was sacred and auncient and to induce newe strange and intollerable ordinances Finally driuen wyth a senslesse fury to exercise tyranny and crueltie against themselues insomuch that almost no Citie or towne hath escaped their owne Citizens massacres robberies banishments proscriptions and yet farre greater cruelties then the enemy himselfe coulde haue imagined And this through a iust iudgement of God iustly taking vengeance for so many murthers sheading of innocent blood and innumerable villanies by them committed And by these moanes a more desperate and bloodie warre then euer was before is nowe renewed The Mayne who a little before had béene the bewrayer and accuser of his brothers treason is chosen chiefe of these inraged and desperate companies When uppon suddenly the whole Realme beginneth to rebell And truly freely I would haue it to be spoken by the kings owne fault who euer had reiected al good wholsome and profitable counsell before he was driuen to these extremities Parts gaue vnto the rest an example of rebellion as it was reason she being the first inriched with sundry gifts of kings and the imperiall of the Realme All the rest followed few onely excepted And as they were before striuing who shoulde be more affectionated vnto his prince so nowe they contend who shal excéed in outragiousnes against him And to the end that nothing should be wanting to the fulnes of their treacherie they require and séeke for thy authoritie Sixtus for the iudgements of the diuines for the consent of the clergis and al was presently at their command Urban one of the Magistrates in Paris demaunding in the full assemblie of th●se of the Sorbonne Whether the Frenchmen could be godly and honestly released from their other made vnto the king Answere was made that they could This answere is brought vnto the Magistrate and with drawne swords is commaunded to approoue the same The Senat flatly denieth such a wicked acte to be lawfull worthy of the ancient loyaltie of France And sitting a little vpon it the mutinous people brake opē the gates of the pallace and selfe not vpon one or two of the Magistrates but vpon them all and cast the whole bench in prison the onely maiestie of the Realme Presently a newe Counsell is chosen which approouing the answere of the vngodly diuines dischargeth the people of their othes thrust the king out of his kingdome The Clergie commendeth this new counsel and presently hereupon the noyse of the Popes thunderbolte is heard rowling from the high Capitoll and threatening foorthwyth as they sayde the ouerthrowe of all the principall mountaines of France In the yeare 1589. the king beeing at that instant at Blois tydings was brought vnto his Maiestie that Paris Roan Lions Tholouse and the cities of the Realme were all reuolted and that not one was remaining which was not insected with some notable treacherie It was told vnto his maiestie also how Brisac Boidaulphin and the lorde Chastre whom he had suffred to goe home vntouched vpon their othes vpon the Guyses death had broken their promise so solemnely confirmed were reuolted to the enimy Moreouer that the Spanyard the Italian Princes the Dukes of Loraine and Sauoy together with the inraged furious people had sworne the Guises reuengement That he was not in safety in Bloys wheresoeuer be turned himselfe that all places were surprised and vntrustie That at the one side the conspirators did presse him at the other side the king of Nauarre wyth a great power came to inuade the realme being alreadie at Samure and had taken all the cities thereabout The king thus crost with so many troubles and aduersities at once pensiue what to do and put aside from al other hope is forced to apply the vttermost remedy to an extreme fore disease and that which he had neglected in the ful prosperity of his wealth power and gouernment craueth now voluntarily being almost dispossessed of his crowne kingdom Calleth not without gods appointment to his aid the king of Nauarre his mortall enimy but his most necessarie and profitable friend if long before he had vsed him He although greatly-iniured and offended although so oftentimes at the Guyses request by him assaulted with war presently vnlooked for commeth to the king his brother with a chosen army not only great in number but also in valor so that euery cōmon souldier might haue supplied the roome of anie officer A great change is
