A DECLARATION Made and published by the King of France Whereby the Princes Dukes and Barons therein named are all proclaymed Traytors if within one moneth after the publication thereof they doe not ceasse from Armes and personally present themselues vnto his MAIESTIE Published the 6. of August 1620. Stylo Nouo Faithfully translated according to the French Copie 1620. A declaration made and published by the King of France whereby the Princes Dukes and Barons therein named are all proclaymed Traytors if within one moneth after the publication thereof they doe not ceasse from armes and personally present themselues vnto his Maiestie Published the 6. of August 1620. Stylo nouo LEWES By the grace of God King of France and Nauarre To all men to whom these presents shall come greeting If since the time that We were invested with and haue vnder-taken the gouernment of this State We had failed in any thing either in regard of the Queene Our most honourable Lady and Mother or in respect of the Princes noble Personages of Our Kingdome We would with more patience receiue and beare the troubles which therein at this present are stirred vp and raysed against Vs. But calling to mind such accidents as are formerly past and considering what fruit the fauours graces and benefits by Vs so liberally imparted vnto those who at this day trouble Vs Wee cannot so soone bewaile Our hard fortune as also that of all France in generall but Wee must withall accuse and vtterly condemne the small consideration of those that reward Vs euill for good For all men know that presently vpon Our acceptation and entrance into the administration of publike affaires Our first care was to deliuer the Princes and great Persons of Our Realme from the oppression and trouble wherein they were and to speake truth from vtter ruine and destruction which then was like to fall vpon them and drew them neare vnto Our person and nothing but the emulation and iealousies that was then betweene them hindred them from being of Our Councell and priuie to the conduction and ordering of Our Princely affaires Touching the Queene our most Princely Lady and Mother Wee gaue and yeelded vnto her all that honor which the state of things at that time might beare and procured the meanes to make her enioy all contentments that shee could wish or desire After that when she had withdrawne her selfe from Blois to Angoulesme there to frame a publike complaint because as shee said shee was hindred from the enioying of Our presence although for Our owne parts Wee were much offended at the behauiours of those that were her assistants and had power sufficient to punish their insolencies We were content for her satisfaction to grant her all whatsoeuer shee desired the Townes Forts and gouernments which shee would choose such mony as shee required to haue and not onely were pleased that shee should reside neare vnto Vs but did so instantly seeke it of her that then at that time shee came to Vs to Tours with such and so great cōfidence that We were wholly out of doubt that nothing in subsequent time would alter her minde Wee likewise for her sake pardoned those that had ayded and assisted her and made diuers of them Captaines of Our guard which before had abandoned Vs to follow her After We had effected all that which We had promised vnto her with long patience Wee expected but could not see those of her part performe that whereunto they were bound and yet for all that Wee abstayned not from gratifying her in all things that shee desired and required at Our hands not only in respect of her selfe but also of those that held with her as also continually to cause diuers great Personages and men of qualitie to visite her and instantly solicited her to come neare vnto Vs so farre that being aduertised that certayne malicious spirits made her beleeue that Our desire therein was cleane contrary to the outward shew We made to giue her more assurance both of Our intent the respect that We beare vnto her We set forward to meete her in the middle way at such time as she had promised to come and are perswaded that if therein shee had only beene ruled by her selfe and her owne good disposition Wee should not haue fayled at this present of a great consolation and our Realme of an entire and assured tranquilitie But vnmeasurable ambition which prouoketh the spirits of many great Personages in Our Realme that fill their heads with discontentments and makes them weary of ease and quietnesse hath beene the cause that disagreeing among themselues touching their owne particular affaires they haue in general plotted together to effect some nouelties in the State and to trouble Our Realme vpon and vnder the same pretences which all those that formerly attempted the same haue practised And because they were perswaded that the person of Our said Lady and Mother in her respect might better cloake disguise and strengthen these disseings there is no manner of artificiall practises wherewith they haue not serued their turnes to put distrust into her breast to alter her good intentions and to perswade her that shee had wrong done vnto her if shee had not an absolute authoritie giuen her in Our Realme And although the euill which therein maketh Vs too much feele her ouer-great facilitie toucheth Vs to the quicke yet Wee hold her excuseable being perswaded that not many spirits in the world are able to withstand and resist so many continuall and damnable inuentions And although We heare her name vsed in all places and her signature and seale euen throughout all Our Prouinces to authorize that which is pretended against Vs yet We cannot be perswaded but that her heart is wholly alienated from the same and her soule altogether innocent But for that at the pursuit of the complaints that are made in her name throughout all Our Realme and of the protestations to reforme Our State Wee haue seene Our Cousin the Duke of Mayen withdraw himselfe from Our Court without taking leaue of Vs the Duke de Vandosme Our naturall brother follow after him Our Cousin the Duke de Longueville being sent for to come vnto Vs refuseth to do it Our Cousin the Duke de Nemours gone from Vs in the night-time And since that which most grieueth Vs Our deare and louing Cousin the Earle of Soissons and Our Cousin his mother likewise gone from Our Court by night then when We were vpon the point to honour him with the mariage of Our sister Which also was seconded by Our naturall brother the great Prior of France and soone after were aduertised that all of them were gone to Our said Lady and Mother together with the Dukes de Rets de la Trimoville de Rohan and de Rohanois and the agents of the said Dukes de Mayen and Espernon to take order to leuy armes to giue a beginning to the execution of their deseignes We vnderstood that
