thy friends and then it may be thou shalt the better perswade that he had caused you all to kill one another and to perish by fire sword and famine should not you be very happie to bee placed on high in Paradise aboue Confessors and Patriarches and to mocke at these Maheutres which you should see vnderneath you to roste boyle in Lucifers fires Dye when you will wee haue Moores Africans Wallons and Foruscites to set in your place kil murder and burne hardly all Monsieur the Legate will pardon all Monsieur the Lieutenant will aduow all Monsieur d'Aumale will adiudge all Monsieur of Lions will seale all and Monsieur Marteau will signe all I my selfe will serue you for a father confessor and all France also if it haue the heart or spirit to suffer it selfe to dye a good Catholike to make the Lorraines and Spanyards her heires as I beseech you all in generall and particular assuring you next after Monsieur the Legate that your soules shall not passe thorowe the fire of purgatorie A gracious graunt hauing been alreadie sufficiently purged by the fires which we haue inkindled in the foure riuers and in the midst of this Realme for the holie League and by the penance fastings and abstinence which wee would make you doe in deuotion As touching the election of a King I giue my voyce to the Marquis of Chaussons Quaint qualities for such a place he is neither thicke lipped nor
