enemies rose up against him and his Congregation for differing from them about Christ's presence in the Sacrament especially one Westphalus who wrote bitterly against them calling them Zuinglians and affirming that all those which had suffered about that point in Belgia England or France were the Divels Martyrs At last Lascus returned into his owne Country from which he had been absent twenty years There he found Gods harvest to be great and the labourers to be very ●ew His coming was very unwelcom to the Popish Clergy who sought by all means to destroy him or to get him banished and therefore they accused him to the King for an Heretick beseeching him not to suffer him to stay in the Kingdom To whom the King answered That though they pronounced him an Heretick yet the States of the Kingdom did not so esteem him and that he was ready to clear himselfe from those aspersions When they thus prevailed not they cast abroad reproaches and all manner of lies as if hee would stir up a civil war in the Kingdom But it pleased God when he had spent a little time in instructing his friends that he sickned and dyed An Chr. 1560. He was of an excellent wit and judgement and tooke much paines to have composed that difference in the Churches about Christ's presence in the Sacrament though it succeeded not The King of Poland had him in such esteeme that hee made use of his advice and help in many great and difficult businesses His Works are these Liber de Coena Domini Epistola continens summam controversiae de Coena Domini breviter explicatam Confessio de nostra cum Christo communione corporis sui in Coena exhibitione Epistola ad Bremensis Ecclesiae Ministros ●ontra Mennonem Catabaptistarum Principem De recta Ecclesiarum instituendarum ratione Epistolae tres Epistolae ad Sigismundum Regem Poloniae Purgatio Ministrorum in Ecclesus peregrinis Francofurti Forma ratio totius Ecclesiastici Ministerii Edvardi sexti in peregrinorum maxime Germanorum Ecclesia The Life of Augustine Marlorat who died A no Christi 1562. AUgustine Marlorat was born in Lorrain Anno 1506. His parents dying whilst he was young and his kindred gaping after his estate thrust him at eight years old into a Monastery of Augustine Friars by which means God so ordering it he was brought up in Learning and became a Preache● and being addicted to the study of the Tongues and the Reformed Religion he would no longer live amongst those idle Drones and Slow-bellies but leaving them went to the University of Lausanna in the Country of Bern where he profited much in Learning and came to the knowledge of the Truth and from thence was chosen to be the Pastor at Vivia near to the Lake of Leman and from thence hee was called to Roan where was a populous Church which he instructed and taught so holily and with such prudence that his honesty protected him against the rage and malice of his adversaries Anno Christi 1561 he was present at the conferenc at Possy between the Cardinal of Lorrain and The●dore Beza where he acquitted himself with much courage appearing on the Protestants side against the Papists The year following when the Civil Wars brake forth in France the City of Roan was besieged and after a hard siege was taken by storm at which time this August Marlorat the chief Minister of the City was taken also and carried before Monmorency the Constable of France who grievously chid him and cast him into a streight prison and the next morning the Constable and the Duke of Guise went to the prison and calling for Marlorat the Constable said to him You are he who hath seduced the people Marl. If I have seduced them it 's God that hath done it rather then I for I have preached nothing to them but Divine Truths Const. You are a seditious person and the cause of the ruin of this great City Marl. As for that imputation I referre my self to all that have heard me preach be they Papists or Protestants whether I ever medled with matters of the Politick State or no but contrariwise I have according to my ability laboured to instruct them out of the holy Scriptures To this the Constable with an oath replyed that he and his abettors plotted together to make the Prince of Condie King the Admirall Coligni Duke of Normandy and Andelot Duke of Britaine To this Marlorat answered professing his own innocency and the innocency of those noble personages But the Constable swearing a great oath said We shall see within a few daies whether thy God can deliver thee out of my hand or no and so departed in a great rage Not long after at the instance of Bigot Advocate for the King an Indictment was drawn up against him and some others whereupon they were condemned for high Treason for that he had been as they said the author of the great assemblies which were the cause of Rebellion and Civill Warres and therefore as a punishment to satisfie the Law for these things the Court adjudged and condemned the said Marlorat to be drawn upon a sled and to be hanged upon a gibbe● before our Ladies Church in Roan This done his head to bee stricken off from his body and set upon a pole upon the bridge of the same City his goods and inheritance to be confiscated to the Kings use and shortly after this sentence was executed viz. Anno Christi 1562 and of his age 56. Hee was excellently learned and of a most unblameable life and had the testimony even of the Papists themselves that heard him that in his Sermons he never uttered ought that tended to Sedition or Rebellion Yet his malitious adversaries were not content onely to see him drawn upon an hurdle but the Constable also loaded him with a thousand disgraces and outrages as also a sonne of his called Monbrun who shortly after was slaine in the battel of Dreux One Villebon also gave him a switch with a wand adding many reproachfull speeches thereto But this meek ●amb bare all those indignities with admirable patience and meekness When he was come to the place where he should suffer he made an excellent speech as the time then permitted him exhorting two that were to suffer with him to stand stedfast to the end which they also did When he was now dead yet the rage of his adversaries ceased not there but one of the souldiers with his sword struck at his legges Yet Gods judgments found out his adversaries very speedily For the Captain that apprehended Marlorat was slaine within three weeks by one of the basest souldiers in all his company Two of his Judges also died very strangely soon after viz. the President of the Parliament by a flux of blood which could be by no means stanched The other being a Counsellor voyding
