your_o royal_a highness_n to_o follow_v a_o new_a engagement_n that_o do_v not_o only_o destroy_v all_o your_o predecessor_n have_v do_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o whole_a universe_n but_o that_o expose_v also_o your_o own_o state_n and_o subject_n to_o the_o flame_n butchery_n calamity_n devastation_n and_o to_o the_o most_o cruel_a and_o inhuman_a rage_n and_o tyranny_n it_o be_v agree_v that_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o a_o pious_a prince_n to_o wish_v there_o be_v but_o one_o religion_n in_o his_o country_n and_o that_o be_v persuade_v that_o his_o own_o be_v the_o true_a one_o it_o do_v belong_v to_o his_o duty_n and_o charity_n to_o do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o persuade_v his_o subject_n to_o it_o but_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v allow_v also_o that_o religion_n enter_v into_o our_o heart_n by_o mean_n of_o persuasion_n and_o not_o by_o force_n and_o that_o to_o convince_v one_o of_o the_o divide_v truth_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v employ_v nothing_o but_o instruction_n sweetness_n and_o exhortation_n according_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n that_o king_n and_o prince_n though_o they_o be_v master_n of_o their_o subject_n yet_o they_o have_v no_o empire_n over_o their_o conscience_n that_o depend_v alone_o from_o god_n insomuch_o that_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o hope_n that_o your_o royal_a highness_n far_o from_o force_v your_o subject_n to_o do_v thing_n against_o their_o conscience_n you_o will_v be_v please_v on_o the_o contrary_a to_o restore_v they_o their_o peace_n which_o we_o implore_v for_o they_o to_o confirm_v their_o privilege_n and_o to_o let_v they_o enjoy_v the_o liberty_n to_o give_v god_n that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o whilst_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o pay_v your_o royal_a highness_n that_o respect_n and_o homage_n which_o they_o owe_v you_o as_o your_o faithful_a subject_n my_o lord_n the_o minister_n of_o state_n have_v tell_v we_o also_o that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o valley_n have_v render_v themselves_o unworthy_a of_o their_o prince_n favour_n but_o beside_o that_o all_o the_o world_n agree_v that_o before_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o first_o edict_n they_o have_v give_v your_o royal_a highness_n no_o reason_n of_o complaint_n and_o that_o consequent_o it_o be_v not_o their_o ill_a conduct_n have_v draw_v upon_o they_o so_o rigorous_a a_o order_n and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v some_o among_o they_o that_o have_v commit_v a_o fault_n which_o we_o be_v yet_o ignorant_a of_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v surprise_v if_o some_o miserable_a wretch_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o despair_n shall_v do_v some_o imprudent_a action_n beside_o all_o this_o we_o say_v your_o royal_a highness_n be_v too_o gracious_a and_o too_o good_a not_o to_o pardon_v fault_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o too_o just_a and_o equitable_a to_o punish_v the_o public_a for_o a_o excess_n that_o may_v have_v be_v commit_v by_o some_o particular_a person_n in_o fine_a they_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o those_o patent_n his_o royal_a highness_n charles-emanuel_n grant_v in_o the_o year_n 1655_o and_o 1664._o do_v not_o concern_v religion_n but_o give_v they_o leave_v only_o to_o inhabit_v some_o certain_a place_n in_o the_o valley_n and_o that_o consequent_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o the_o other_o prince_n that_o be_v mediator_n in_o this_o affair_n have_v no_o interest_n in_o it_o but_o we_o beg_v your_o royal_a highness_n to_o consider_v first_o that_o religion_n be_v then_o so_o much_o the_o subject_a of_o the_o question_n that_o proper_o no_v other_o thing_n do_v belong_v to_o it_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o order_n of_o the_o sieur_n gastaldo_n that_o produce_v so_o many_o dismal_a consequence_n do_v destroy_v these_o concession_n that_o be_v grant_v to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o valley_n about_o religion_n it_o be_v pretend_v at_o that_o time_n to_o force_v they_o to_o do_v thing_n against_o their_o conscience_n because_o they_o be_v threaten_v with_o death_n and_o confiscation_n of_o their_o good_n that_o will_v not_o embrace_v the_o catholic_n religion_n within_o twenty_o day_n after_o they_o be_v order_v to_o do_v it_o second_o all_o the_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n of_o the_o protestant_a prince_n and_o state_n be_v only_o ground_v on_o thing_n concern_v religion_n and_o conscience_n they_o have_v only_o act_v according_a to_o this_o principle_n and_o the_o ambassador_n be_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n receive_v and_o hear_v but_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o interest_n they_o take_v in_o a_o business_n concern_v religion_n and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o your_o royal_a highness_n predecessor_n have_v give_v several_a assurance_n by_o letter_n to_o their_o excellency_n the_o evangelical_n canton_n that_o the_o patent_n grant_v upon_o their_o request_n shall_v be_v punctual_o and_o faithful_o execute_v and_o because_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o all_o that_o have_v be_v grant_v they_o your_o royal_a highness_n have_v publish_v a_o edict_n that_o forbid_v they_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n in_o all_o the_o valley_n under_o pain_n of_o death_n that_o command_v the_o demolish_n all_o the_o church_n that_o do_v banish_v the_o minister_n and_o schoolmaster_n that_o command_v that_o the_o child_n shall_v be_v baptize_v and_o bring_v up_o in_o the_o romish_a religion_n and_o that_o deprive_v by_o these_o mean_v those_o people_n of_o their_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n our_o sovereign_a lord_n that_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o

royal_a highness_n will_v be_v covo●ed_v by_o some_o consideration_n of_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o by_o some_o compassion_n for_o your_o subject_n the_o ambassador_n have_v deliver_v their_o

in_o their_o master_n name_n that_o he_o have_v far_o strong_a reason_n to_o maintain_v this_o edict_n than_o they_o have_v give_v he_o to_o revoke_v it_o and_o that_o he_o can_v not_o do_v as_o much_o as_o to_o mitigate_v it_o that_o the_o great_a wheel_n move_v and_o carry_v along_o with_o they_o the_o little_a one_o that_o the_o letter_n the_o protestant_a canton_n have_v write_v to_o he_o
