NEWES FROM France . Or a Relation of the maruelous and fearfeull accident of a disaster , which happened at Paris the seuenth day of March this present yeare . 1618. Where by meanes of a terrible fire all the Palace was burnt and consumed . TOGETHER WITH A NARRAtion of the losse and ruine of many tradesmen who had all their goods consumed by the said fier . AS ALSO AN INIVNCTION OF THE Court of Parliament concerning the restoring and deleuiring backe of all bagges of papers &c.

WOrthie Reader , the Authour being curious to giue you to vnderstand a matter prodigious and feaerfull , which is altogeather worthie of memorie , and remarked of many men of qualitie as well spirituall as temporall seeing an accident to happen in the best peece of the famous Citie of Paris , being a place where true and vpright iustice ought without delay to be done , named the Palace of the Kinges of France and the most renowned in the world by Reason of a Chappell named the Holie , the which Almightie God hath preserued from the gulfe of an horrible & vnquenchable fier , which descended from Heauen , about midnight in the forme and fashion of a terrible great flaming starre , being for the bignes one cubite in length and of one foote in breadth , the which consuming fier did burne and waste the full space of a day and an a halfe within the great Hall of the Palace of Paris , without being able to be staied or quenched by any meanes , as shewinge that this fier would demonstrate the Iustice of God and the anger and wrath of the moste holie Trinitie declaring vnto sinners that they should be conuerted and haue God alwaias before their eyes without musing and troublinge themselues in heaping vp worldly good ; and transitorie riches , and leauing the meanes to come to the kingdome of God vnsought for . In such sort began the fier the seuenth day of March , about an hower after midnight that with the force thereof it burned and consumed all the auncient Antiquities and Records of this Realme of France hauing made in one night a greater deluge and destruction , then a hundred men are able to restore and build vp in a yeare .

But God hath preserued the Chappell called the Holy shewing to his people that he desires to be honored and glorified .

We may well know that this fier signifieth vnto vs a beginning of the wrath of God and that he is angry against vs , for this fier puts vs in mind of the ende of the world , and should stirre vs vp to the firme beliefe which we ought to haue in the spirituall merrcy of God , and to hold our selues alwaéyes ready to fight against the enimie of our soules , and to embrace the true God and Sauiour . And namely in this holie time of Lent we ought to reconcile our selues vnto God and to demande pardon and mercy of him for all our finnes , that thereby we may come to the hiretage which he hath purchased by his death and passion , beseeching him to haue pitty vpon vs , and to preserue vs henceforth from such accidents .

The Arrest or Decree of the Court of Parliament of PARIS touching the restoring of the papers and registers which were cast by during the said fier .
