In

And

,
as

vnder

,
as

.
III.
WE

,
that

agayne
,
in
all
places
and

of
this
our
Realme
,
&
of
the
contryes
vnder

gouernance
,
where
the

therof
hath
bin
lefte
of
,
That

without

Forbidding

payne
aforesayd

frutes
,
and
reuenewes
of
their

,
and
of
all
other
rights
and
dueties
belonging

.
And
our
will
is
,
that

,
as

of

.
IIII.
And
to
take
away
all
occasion
of
trouble
,
and
disagreement
among
our
subiects
,
we
haue
graunted
,
and
do
graunt
free
open
and
generall
exercise
,
of
the
pretended
reformed
religion
,
through
all
cities
and
places
of
our
Realme
,
and
through
all
contries
vnder
our
obedience
&
protection
,
without
restraynt
of
tyme
,
person
,
or
place
,
condicionally
that
the
same
places
belong
vnto
themselues
,
or
that
it
be
done
with
the
good
will
&
consent
of
the
owners
,
to
whome
they
belonge
.
In
the
whiche
townes
and
places
,
the
professors
of
the
sayde
Religion
,
may
preache
,
praye
,
singe
Psalmes
,
minister
Baptisme
and
the
Lords
supper
,
aske
the
bands
of
Matrimony
,
and
solempnize
mariages
,
publiquely
cathechize
and
reade
lectures
,
vse
discipline
according
to
the
sayde
Religion
,
and
doo
all
other
things
belonging
to
the
free
&
full
exercise
of
the
same
.
Also
they
may
hold
consistories
,
Sinodes
,
assemblies
or
counsells
,
as
well
prouinciall
as
generall
,
So
they
make
our
officers
priuie
therevnto
in
the
places
where
those
Synodes
shall
bee
called
and
assembled
.
And
wee
enioyne
our
sayde
officers
or
some
of
them
,
to
assist
those
general
&
prouinciall
counsells
.
Yet
neuerthelesse
,
we
will
and
ordayne
,
That
the
professors
of
the
sayde
Religion
shall
forbeare
the
open
excercyse
thereof
in
our
cittie
of
Paris
,
&
in
the
suburbes
thereof
,
and
within
two
leagues
about
the
same
.
Whiche
two
leagues
we
haue
limitted
,
and
do
limitte
to
the
places
following
:
That
is
to
witte
,
Sainct
Denis
,
Sainct
Maure
de
Fosses
,
Pont
de
Charenton
▪
Le
bourg
la
Royne
,
&
Port
de
Nully
:
In
the
whiche
places
our
meaning
is
that
there
shall
not
be
any
excercise
of
the
sayd
Religion
.
Howbeeit
notwithstanding
,
that
the
professors
of
the
same
Religion
shall
not
be
sowght
,
or
sifted
,
for
any
thing
that
they
doo
in
their
howses
as
concerning
the
sayde
Religion
,
nor
their
children
or
the
teachers
of
them
bee
compelled
to
doo
any
thing
contrary
or
preiudiciall
to
the
same
.
Also
they
shall
abstayne
from
the
sayde
excercise
of
Religion
in
oure
Courte
,

it
.
And

they
shall
not
be
sought
or
sifted
for
aught
that
they
doo
in
their
howses
concerning
the
sayde
Religion
.
And
we
hope
,
that
God
wyll
graunt
vs
the
grace
,
to
see
all
our
subiects
knit
together
agayne
in
one
fayth
,
Religion
,
and
beleefe
,
by
the
determination
of
a
free
and
holy
generall
counsell
,
which
is
our
desier
and
cheefe
intent
.
V.
Yt
