interiected

vn-re-established
,
shall
be
restored
as
soone
as

19
By
the
6
Article
of
the
Edict
,
and
the
2
of
the
particulars
,
and
other
answers
made
to
the
Requests
,
they
of
the
Religion
finde
themselues
to
be
iustly
discharged
from
contributing
to
the
constructions
&
reparations
of
the
Church
&
the
dependances
therof
,
as
a
thing
contrary
to
their
consciences
.
Notwithstanding
which
,
the
Catholike
inhabitants
of
Arnay
le
Duc
sue
to
your
Councell
for
leaue
,
to
impose
generally
on
the
Commonalty
,
as
well
vpon
those
of
the
Religion
,
as
vpon
themselues
,
the
summ
of
6000
liuers
,
to
build
a
Church
for
the
Capuchins
,
which
would
be
neyther
reasonable
,
nor
conformable
to
your
Edicts
:
Wherefore
,
may
it
please
your
Maiestie
,
to
declare
all
your
subiects
of
the
Religion
to
be
quit
,
and
exempted
from
payments
,
and
contributions
of
the
like
nature
,
and
that
the
said
second
Article
of
the
Particulars
may
be
executed
.
20
It
is
well
knowne
,
that
during
these
last
troubles
,
they
of
the
said
Religion
haue
suffered
much
violence
from
their
contraries
:
As
in
the
towne
of
Romerantin
,
where
the
place
of
their
Exercise
in
the
suburbs
of
the
said
towne
was
twice
burnt
.
But
that
which
is
yet
more
strange
is
this
,
that
since
the
Peace
which
it
pleased
your
Maiestie
to
grant
vnto
your
said
Subiects
,
the
Church
which
had
been
built
long
agoe
in
your
towne
of
Iergeau
was
quite
pulled
downe
,
and
the
demolishments
carried
cleane
away
,
by
meanes
whereof
they
of
the
Religion
are
depriued
of
their
Exercise
:
Wherefore
they
most
humbly
beseech
your
Maiesty
,
that
in
reparation
of
so
notable
an
infraction
of
your
Edicts
and
Declarations
,
you
wil
be
pleased
to
ordaine
,
that
the
said
churches
may
be
re-edified
,
and
the
Exercise
re-established
in
the
said
townes
of
Iergeau
and
Romerantin
.
Answer
.
The
said
Commissioners
deputed
for
those
places
,
haue
in
charge
,
to
take
order
for
that
which
is
contained
in
this
Article
.
21
Your
townes
of
Saint
Foy
and
Bergerac
,
most
humbly
beseech
you
,
Sir
,
that
you
will
be
pleased
out
of
your
singular
bountie
to
discharge
them
of
the
oppressions
,
which
with
so
much
excesse
they
haue
suffered
a
long
time
,
letting
your
said
towne
of
Bergerac
fully
enioy
the
benefit
of
your
inuiolable
promises
,
by
hindring
so
many
innouations
,
and
the
building
of
the
Cittadell
there
,
which
is
now
erecting
no
withstanding
that
your
Subiects
of
the
Religion
haue
maintained
themselues
in
the
firmnes
of
a
most
humble
subiection
and
obedience
towards
your
Maiestie
,
therby
labouring
to
deserue
the
effect
of
the
said
Roiall
promises
,
their
libertie
,
and
the
peaceable
exercise
of
their
Religion
.
Answer
.
His
Maiesty
will
write
vnto
my
Lord
the
Duke
of
Espernon
,
Governor
and
Lieutenant
generall
in
Guienne
,
to
take
order
that
the
Inhabitants
of
the
said
townes
of
Bergerac
and
Saint
Foy
may
be
releeued
,
and
fauourably
entreated
vpon
all
occasions
that
shall
present
themselues
:
and
to
see
that
the
men
of
warre
in
the
said
places
,
may
liue
in
such
order
,
as
they
may
receiue
no
kinde
of
oppression
from
them
.
22
And
lastly
,
for
the
easing
of
your
people
of
the
Religion
,
for
the
setling
of
them
in
a
sure
confidence
and
further
confirmation
of
the
Peace
,
which
you
haue
vouchfased
to
grant
them
:
may
it
please
your
Maiesty
to
raze
out
all
the
market
of
diffidence
that
are
yet
remaining
,
and
for
that
one
to
discharge
the
many
Garisons
that
still
continue
in
the
lower
Languedoc
,
and
other
Prouinces
,
vnder
the
command
of
such
as
are
not
very
well
affected
to
your
said
subiects
of
the
religion
:
that
so
there
may
be
no
retardment
of
the
effects
of
that
obedience
,
which
both
they
will
and
ought
to
render
you
,
as
well
in
the
demolishments
you
haue
ordained
,
as
in
all
other
things
which
it
shall
please
you
to
command
them
.
