A
declaration
of
the
French
kinges
pleasure
,
concerning
the
new
troubles
of
his
Realme
.
NOtwithstandinge
the
king
by
letters
&
precepts
hath
heretofore
sondry
times
admonished
hys
Subiectes
not
to
suffer
themselues
to
be
led
away
with
the
persuasions
and
counsails
of
some
who
seeke
to
practise
and
associate
them
vnto
themselues
,
whereby
to
frustrate
them
of
their
quiet
:
and
withall
haue
offered
and
promised
fauor
to
such
as
being
already
entangled
,
shall
vppon
knowledge
of
his
meaninge
withdraw
themselues
:
yet
his
Maiesty
to
his
great
grief
vnderstanding
that
notwithstanding
his
saide
preceptes
and
fauorable
admonitions
,
some
of
his
said
subiectes
vpon
sondry
considerations
,
(
but
for
the
most
part
being
transported
&
blinded
with
such
faire
and
beautifull
shewes
as
the
authors
doe
set
vpon
their
enterprises
,
)
do
stil
enter
into
the
same
.
His
said
Maiesty
hath
thought
it
requisite
for
the
vniuersall
weale
of
his
said
subiectes
,
the
discharge
of
his
conscience
toward
God
,
&
his
reputation
with
the
world
to
oppose
against
such
artificiall
deuise
.
〈◊〉
light
of
trueth
,
which
is
the
true
comfort
of
the
good
and
mortall
enemy
to
their
aduersaries
,
to
the
end
his
said
subiectes
beinge
conducted
by
the
light
thereof
may
in
time
and
without
let
discerne
and
know
the
originall
&
entent
of
such
motions
and
so
escew
al
both
publike
and
priuate
calamities
that
may
grow
thereof
.
The
pretenses
which
the
autors
of
the
said
troubles
do
alleadge
,
are
chiefly
founded
vpon
The
restoring
of
the
Catholike
,
Apostolike
&
Romish
religion
in
this
land
:
The
distributing
of
the
offices
and
dignities
therof
,
to
those
vnto
whom
iustly
they
may
appertaine
:
&
The
wealth
,
honor
,
and
reliefe
of
the
Clergy
,
Nobility
and
Commons
.
These
pointes
al
men
haue
manifestly
knowen
to
haue
bene
alwaies
so
déere
and
in
such
recommendation
with
his
Maiesty
that
none
can
iustly
doubt
of
his
entent
concerning
the
same
:
whereby
it
appeareth
that
they
néeded
not
to
haue
practised
his
subiectes
,
gathered
them
into
armes
,
or
leuied
forein
power
wherwith
to
induce
him
to
accepte
of
such
motions
as
they
pretende
to
exhibite
concerninge
the
same
,
in
case
they
were
iust
,
possible
and
commodious
to
his
subiectes
.
In
respect
of
the
said
religion
,
his
said
Maiesty
before
his
comminge
to
the
crowne
hath
aduentured
his
owne
life
and
with
most
happy
successe
fought
for
the
propagation
of
the
same
:
also
since
that
it
pleased
God
to
cal
him
to
the
gouernement
of
this
realme
,
he
hath
oftentimes
to
the
like
purpose
hazarded
his
estate
,
and
imployed
his
best
meanes
,
together
with
the
liues
and
wealth
of
his
good
subiectes
and
seruants
,
whereby
they
may
presently
be
persuaded
and
beleue
that
no
man
who
so
euer
either
in
this
realme
or
els
where
,
of
whatsoeuer
profession
hath
more
harty
care
of
religion
and
godlines
,
then
alwaies
he
hath
had
which
by
Gods
grace
he
will
still
continue
.
Moreouer
although
after
the
example
of
the
late
king
his
brother
with
diuers
other
Christian
Princes
,
whose
Empires
&
dominions
haue
ben
afflicted
with
sondry
opinions
of
the
said
religion
,
his
Maiesty
by
the
prudent
aduise
of
the
Quéene
his
Mother
,
my
Lord
the
Cardinall
of
Bourbon
,
with
other
the
Princes
,
Officers
of
the
Crowne
,
and
Lords
of
his
Counsaile
who
then
were
about
him
,
hath
pacified
such
troubles
as
were
amonge
his
subiectes
by
reason
of
the
saide
religion
,
vntill
it
might
please
God
to
revnite
them
into
the
bosome
of
the
church
:
It
doth
not
neuerthelesse
therefore
follow
that
his
zeale
and
deuotion
so
farre
as
concerneth
the
glory
of
God
and
perfect
restoration
of
the
Catholike
,
Apostolike
&
Romish
Church
should
bee
any
whit
changed
or
diminished
rather
now
then
he
shewed
it
to
be
during
the
said
troubles
:
Yea
so
farre
is
he
there
froe
,
that
his
Maiesty
wisheth
euery
one
to
vnderstand
that
he
concluded
the
said
peace
,
purposedly
to
trye
whether
by
the
meanes
therof
he
might
revnite
to
the
Church
of
God
such
his
subiectes
as
the
iniquity
and
libertye
of
the
time
may
haue
separated
therefrom
,
as
hauing
so
long
founde
euen
with
the
daunger
of
his
owne
person
and
hazard
of
his
estate
,
&
price
of
the
blood
of
so
many
Princes
,
Lordes
,
gentlemen
,
and
other
his
subiectes
,
as
haue
died
during
the
said
troubles
and
by
reason
of
the
same
,
since
the
originall
of
the
discorde
for
matter
of
religion
,
moued
&
rooted
in
the
sayd
realme
during
the
minorities
of
the
late
kings
his
bretheren
and
his
,
to
the
great
grief
of
the
aforesaid
Lady
the
Quéene
their
Mother
,
cannot
be
determined
by
force
of
armes
without
the
destruction
of
his
subiectes
and
imminent
daunger
of
his
realme
.
A
matter
wherein
hée
was
resolued
vppon
notice
giuen
him
that
all
sortes
of
people
were
wearied
and
ouer
toyled
with
the
long
course
of
the
said
troubles
,
as
also
that
he
wanted
meanes
any
longer
to
supply
the
charges
of
such
warre
:
which
shoulde
not
haue
happened
if
in
the
assembly
of
the
generall
estates
of
this
realme
holden
at
Bloys
the
deputies
there
present
had
aswel
prouided
for
a
leuy
of
a
stocke
of
quoyne
wherewith
to
prosecute
the
said
warre
to
the
end
,
as
was
requisite
.
and
his
Maiesty
did
require
,
as
(
being
induced
through
feruent
zeale
to
the
Catholike
Religion
)
they
could
desire
him
vtterly
to
prohibite
the
exercise
of
the
said
Religion
pretended
reformed
,
whereof
did
ensue
the
resolution
there
taken
and
sworne
vnto
,
which
since
his
Maiesty
did
endeuour
to
put
in
execution
:
nether
should
they
now
haue
any
pretence
to
complaine
,
no
not
they
who
neuertheles
do
publish
abroad
that
euery
man
was
sone
depriued
of
that
glistering
beame
of
good
hope
which
before
by
reason
of
the
resolution
taken
in
the
said
estates
did
shine
vpon
them
:
Besides
that
it
is
vnséemely
and
not
lawfull
for
the
subiect
to
iudge
of
his
kinges
actions
,
were
it
but
in
respecte
that
many
times
he
is
ignorant
of
the
motiue
causes
of
his
commandementes
,
which
for
the
most
parte
are
more
pregnant
then
those
that
are
apparant
&
manifest
to
all
men
:
neither
is
it
for
any
to
doe
but
onely
God
,
the
searcher
and
cleanser
of
the
harts
and
dealings
of
Princes
,
who
knoweth
the
causes
that
did
most
enforce
his
said
Maiesty
to
the
conclusion
of
the
said
peace
:
As
being
certaine
that
if
he
had
any
longer
deferred
the
doing
thereof
,
this
realme
had
bene
replenished
with
forreine
power
and
diuers
partialities
and
new
diuisions
which
would
haue
bene
very
preiuditiall
to
the
estate
.
His
Maiesty
did
therefore
graunt
the
sayde
peace
to
the
end
to
withstand
all
the
aforesaide
inconueniences
,
to
preuent
the
effectes
therof
and
to
try
better
remedies
,
and
not
as
they
alledge
)
to
ground
or
establish
any
heresie
in
the
realme
,
for
such
a
thoughte
neuer
entred
into
the
hart
of
so
Christian
and
good
a
Prince
as
his
Maiesty
is
:
who
hauing
foreséene
,
felte
&
found
the
difficulties
aforesaid
,
haue
thought
it
his
duety
the
rather
to
harken
to
the
said
pacification
,
to
the
end
by
meanes
thereof
to
bée
the
better
able
to
graunt
to
his
subiectes
the
enioying
of
that
reliefe
whervpon
they
hoped
in
other
the
articles
propounded
and
required
at
the
assembly
of
estates
aforesaid
for
the
common
wealth
of
the
said
realme
,
peace
&
vnion
being
a
fore-running
and
necessary
meane
to
the
establishing
of
good
lawes
and
reformation
of
manners
.
Herevnto
hath
his
Maiesty
continually
euer
since
entended
as
is
euident
by
the
edictes
and
rules
therevpon
made
,
which
he
hath
endeuored
to
put
in
effect
and
cause
to
bee
obserued
:
and
although
his
entent
hath
not
béene
executed
according
to
this
desire
,
the
same
hath
redounded
to
his
greater
grief
,
and
hath
happened
peraduenture
asmuch
by
the
negligence
of
some
of
his
officers
and
sleightes
of
his
euill
willers
as
also
by
such
footing
and
aduantage
as
impiety
,
corruption
and
disobedience
haue
set
in
this
realme
during
the
said
warres
.
Through
this
peace
,
diuers
townes
replenished
with
Catholike
Citizens
&
inhabitants
are
deliuered
from
the
souldiers
that
had
seazed
vpon
them
.
The
exercise
of
the
Catholike
,
Apostolicall
and
Romane
religion
is
renewed
in
the
same
,
as
likewise
through
his
Maiesties
diligence
and
care
it
is
in
most
townes
of
this
realme
,
yea
euen
in
those
wherein
the
professors
of
the
saide
religion
pretended
reformed
,
haue
euer
since
the
troubles
beene
and
yet
are
the
stronger
,
and
from
whence
both
before
and
euer
since
his
comming
to
the
Crowne
,
the
said
exercise
hath
beene
banished
.
The
face
of
iustice
also
hath
thereby
appeared
though
not
altogether
so
fully
and
wholy
as
were
to
be
wished
,
yet
at
the
least
in
such
estate
as
for
the
most
part
it
hath
shewed
force
sufficient
to
comfort
the
good
and
make
the
bad
afraide
.
The
Prelates
&
clergy
are
reentred
into
their
Churches
&
the
enioying
of
their
goods
whereof
they
had
béene
spoiled
.
The
Nobilitie
and
Gentlemen
might
liue
safe
in
their
houses
and
not
be
subiect
to
such
expenses
as
in
the
time
of
war
they
were
forced
to
be
at
for
preseruing
them selues
from
being
surprised
.
The
Citizen
depriued
of
his
owne
and
wandring
ouer
the
countrey
with
his
familie
is
by
meanes
of
the
said
peace
reentred
into
his
possessions
.
The
Marchant
likewise
hath
againe
begunne
his
trade
of
trafficke
which
by
the
saide
troubles
was
wholy
interrupted
.
The
poore
husbandman
groning
vnder
the
weight
of
the
supportable
burden
a
rising
of
the
vnbridled
licence
of
the
souldier
hath
meanes
to
breath
&
haue
recourse
to
his
ordinarie
labor
,
for
the
sustentation
of
his
poore
life
.
To
be
briefe
there
is
no
estate
or
person
but
doth
effectually
participate
in
the
benefits
of
the
saide
pacification
.
Moreouer
as
his
Maiestie
hath
alwaies
béene
most
ielous
of
the
honor
of
God
,
&
carefull
for
the
common
wealth
of
his
said
subiects
,
as
much
as
in
a
Prince
most
Christian
&
truly
good
,
can
,
by
acknowledging
all
euils
and
calamities
of
any
estate
to
arise
principally
throgh
want
and
default
of
true
godlinesse
and
iustice
hath
since
the
said
peace
continually
labored
to
raise
vp
two
pillers
,
which
the
violence
of
the
saide
troubles
had
almost
subuerted
and
laide
along
.
For
the
compassing
whereof
,
he
hath
begunne
by
naming
méet
&
capable
persons
such
as
the
holy
decrees
do
appoint
to
ecclesiasticall
promotions
,
hauing
charge
of
soules
.
He
hath
also
by
his
owne
example
inuited
his
subiects
to
reformation
of
their
manners
,
and
to
haue
recourse
to
the
grace
&
mercy
of
God
through
prayer
and
austeritie
of
life
,
which
haue
confirmed
the
Catholikes
in
the
duetie
to
his
deuine
Maiestie
,
and
moued
some
of
those
that
were
seperated
from
Gods
Church
to
reconsiliation
to
the
same
.
He
hath
likewise
entended
greatly
to
giue
eare
to
the
declaration
and
complaintes
of
the
Clergie
,
giuing
them
libertie
to
assemble
them selues
to
that
effect
,
and
hauing
largely
&
fauorably
prouided
for
them
,
hath
rather
discharged
then
ouercharged
them
with
extraordinarie
tenthes
,
without
respect
to
the
necessitie
of
his
owne
affaires
,
notwithstanding
whatsoeuer
is
published
to
the
contrarie
:
and
is
sorie
that
hee
can
not
likewise
relieue
them
of
the
payment
of
their
ordinarie
,
because
he
found
them
at
his
comming
to
the
crowne
morgaged
for
the
payment
of
the
rents
of
the
towne
of
Paris
.
The
said
Prelates
and
Clergie
haue
also
through
his
said
Maiesties
permission
had
oportunity
to
call
&
hold
their
prouincial
Councels
,
whereby
they
haue
consulted
&
prouided
for
the
reformation
of
abuses
brought
into
the
Church
during
the
saide
troubles
,
&
made
good
and
holy
rules
to
the
welth
of
the
same
,
which
his
saide
Maiestie
hath
confirmed
and
authorized
.
These
are
the
fruites
and
common
and
generall
commodities
which
Gods
Church
,
&
the
Catholike
,
Apostoliike
&
Romish
religion
haue
reaped
of
the
said
pacification
,
besides
infinite
other
priuate
&
perticuler
benefits
which
would
be
too
long
to
rehearse
.
Concerning
iustice
euery
man
knoweth
what
paines
his
said
Maiestie
hath
taken
to
withdraw
the
same
out
of
darknesse
wherein
the
troubles
had
plunged
,
to
the
end
to
restore
the
light
thereof
to
his
former
force
and
auncient
brightnesse
,
hauing
by
death
suppressed
all
superfluous
offices
,
and
withall
prohibited
and
ceased
the
sale
of
the
said
offices
which
the
want
of
money
had
forced
his
predecessors
to
bring
in
,
nothing
regarding
his
owne
neede
,
which
is
nothing
inferiour
to
his
predecessors
.
Besides
all
this
his
Maiestie
hath
excluded
all
remissions
and
euocations
which
aforetune
were
dispatched
of
his
proper
motion
,
in
consideration
that
he
perceaueth
how
great
hope
to
attaine
the
same
did
autorize
euil
deedes
,
and
the
small
difficultie
that
was
made
in
graunting
others
did
bring
confusion
into
Iustice
.
Moreouer
since
the
said
pacification
he
hath
had
opportunitie
to
send
into
sundry
prouinces
of
his
realme
,
sundry
chambers
composed
of
officers
of
the
parliament
of
Paris
to
minister
iustice
vnto
his
said
subiectes
euen
in
the
saide
place
,
whereof
is
growne
such
fruit
as
all
men
haue
tasted
,
which
yet
would
increase
to
the
contentation
of
the
good
,
if
his
good
meaning
had
bene
better
assisted
by
those
who
naturally
and
by
especiall
bond
of
their
vocations
were
bound
thereto
.
But
as
the
iniquitie
of
the
time
hath
emboldened
some
to
burden
his
Maiestie
with
other
mens
faultes
,
and
that
corruption
&
malice
are
so
replenished
with
boldnes
and
impudencie
that
many
haue
euen
taken
pleasure
in
defacing
his
most
holy
&
best
actions
,
wherby
to
cause
his
subiectes
to
mislike
of
them
and
so
to
get
to
them selues
their
good
wils
with
the
expense
of
his
reputation
:
yea
so
farre
as
sometimes
to
dare
enterprete
the
most
commendable
zeale
that
he
hath
had
to
cause
the
decrees
and
sentences
of
the
said
chambers
against
euil
doers
to
be
executed
,
vnto
ouer
great
rigor
and
seueritie
.
His
said
Maiestie
had
therfore
begun
by
the
meanes
aforesaid
to
prouide
for
the
erecting
of
these
two
true
pillers
,
the
onely
foundations
&
preseruation
of
euery
Monarchy
and
had
conceaued
some
assurance
wholy
to
set
them
vp
&
restore
them
to
their
perfection
through
the
continuation
of
the
peace
if
it
had
pleased
God
to
haue
giuen
his
grace
to
make
his
realme
&
subiectes
worthy
therof
.
This
also
it
séemeth
those
men
which
séeke
to
moue
the
subiects
to
take
armes
and
yet
vnder
coulor
of
prouiding
for
both
the
one
and
the
other
,
did
as
soone
feare
as
foresée
.
They
do
also
giue
out
that
they
take
armes
to
the
end
to
withstand
the
troubles
which
they
say
they
feare
should
happen
after
his
Maiesties
decease
in
the
establishing
of
a
Royall
successor
to
the
disaduantage
of
the
said
Catholique
,
Apostolique
,
and
Romish
religion
.
Being
perswaded
,
or
at
the
least
so
giuing
forth
that
his
said
Maiestie
,
or
they
that
are
about
him
do
fauor
the
pretences
of
those
that
haue
shewed
themselues
persecuters
of
the
said
religion
.
A
matter
whereof
his
Maiestie
desireth
and
warneth
his
subiects
to
beléeue
that
hee
neuer
thought
,
as
being
,
thanks
be
to
God
,
in
the
flower
and
strength
of
his
age
and
likewise
the
Queene
his
wife
,
and
so
hopeth
that
God
will
graunt
them
issue
to
the
generall
contentation
of
his
good
and
loyal
subiects
:
besides
it
séemeth
to
him
that
they
séeke
to
force
both
nature
and
time
and
withall
doe
to
much
mistrust
the
fauour
and
goodnes
of
God
,
the
health
and
life
of
his
Maiesty
,
and
the
faithfulnes
of
the
said
Ladie
Quéene
his
wife
in
motioning
at
this
time
any
such
question
,
but
much
more
in
prosecuting
the
decision
therof
by
force
of
armes
.
For
in
liew
of
warranting
and
deliuering
the
realme
for
the
mischiefe
which
they
say
they
feare
will
one
day
ensue
hereof
,
the
entry
into
warre
presently
for
that
cause
is
properly
as
much
as
to
hasten
the
griefes
of
the
same
:
as
being
assured
shortly
to
replenish
the
realme
with
forraine
power
,
partialities
,
and
innumerable
discords
,
besides
bloud
,
murther
and
infinite
robberies
&
oppressions
.
Here
may
you
sée
how
the
Catholike
religion
shall
be
restored
,
the
Clergie
discharged
of
their
tenthes
,
the
Gentlemen
liue
quietly
and
safe
in
his
house
and
enioy
his
rightes
&
prerogatiues
,
the
Citizens
inhabitants
of
townes
exempt
from
garrisons
,
and
the
poore
townes
eased
of
subsidies
and
impositions
that
it
now
beareth
.
His
maiestie
therefore
warneth
and
exhorteth
his
subiectes
in
this
case
to
look
about
them
and
not
to
perswade
themselues
that
this
war
can
be
finished
so
soone
and
easily
as
is
giuen
out
,
but
rather
to
weigh
and
déepely
to
consider
the
euent
and
ineuitable
consequence
thereof
:
and
not
to
suffer
their
reputations
to
be
stained
,
&
their
weapons
to
seeme
as
an
instrument
to
the
destruction
of
their
countrie
and
to
the
increase
of
the
power
of
the
enimies
fherof
,
who
onely
wil
triumph
and
reape
benefite
by
the
miseries
&
calamities
of
the
same
.
For
while
we
,
blinded
in
our
own
benefit
shall
warre
one
vpon
another
and
be
succoured
in
outward
appearance
,
but
in
effect
fed
on
by
their
assistaunce
,
they
shall
raigne
prosperously
and
establish
their
power
.
They
complaine
also
of
the
diuision
of
the
offices
and
houses
of
this
said
realme
,
saying
that
such
are
put
from
them
as
haue
better
deserued
of
the
estate
and
his
Maiesties
seruice
.
A
weak
foundation
and
of
no
great
honor
to
build
the
ruine
and
saluation
of
so
florishing
a
realme
whose
kings
were
neuer
bound
to
vse
the
seruice
of
one
more
then
of
an
other
.
For
there
is
no
law
that
bindeth
him
therto
except
as
the
benefite
of
his
seruice
requireth
.
Neuerthelesse
his
said
Maiestie
hath
at
all
times
greatly
honored
and
cherished
the
princes
of
his
bloud
,
as
much
as
any
of
his
predecessors
,
and
hath
shewen
a
will
to
preferre
others
into
credit
,
honor
and
reputation
by
vsing
their
seruice
:
for
so
oft
as
his
said
Maiestie
hath
leuied
any
power
or
army
,
he
hath
stil
by
preferring
them
committed
the
charge
and
conduct
of
the
same
vnto
them
,
and
if
we
do
consider
who
at
this
present
haue
the
greatest
and
most
honorable
roomes
in
the
realme
,
we
shal
find
that
they
ar
said
to
be
the
authors
of
such
complaints
&
haue
cause
rather
to
commend
his
maiesties
goodnesse
and
fauor
then
any
way
to
complaine
&
depart
from
him
.
But
say
they
,
they
haue
but
the
name
,
and
in
effecte
are
depriued
of
the
prerogatiues
depending
vpon
their
saide
offices
,
which
other
men
do
vsurpe
.
Before
we
iudge
of
the
merite
of
such
complainant
it
were
good
to
sée
&
déepely
to
looke
into
the
rightes
and
preheminences
to
euery
office
attributed
,
and
then
to
consider
how
and
by
whome
they
haue
bene
administred
in
the
time
of
the
kinges
predecessors
.
A
matter
which
his
Maiesty
hath
often
propounded
,
when
he
hath
endeuored
to
set
order
in
euery
mans
office
,
and
had
long
since
bene
determined
and
decided
if
those
that
haue
interest
therein
had
accordinge
to
their
dueties
aided
and
assisted
him
as
they
ought
.
But
shal
it
therefore
be
now
saide
and
so
left
to
the
posterity
that
priuate
interests
and
discontentations
should
be
the
cause
of
troubling
a
whole
estate
,
and
replenishing
the
same
with
bloud
and
desolation
?
This
is
not
the
way
that
should
bee
taken
in
séeking
to
redresse
those
abuses
which
they
complaine
of
,
sith
they
haue
to
do
with
so
mercifull
a
Prince
,
who
still
would
preuente
the
inconuenience
,
and
willingly
would
accept
of
all
méete
and
conuenient
remedies
which
may
be
offered
to
him
for
the
redresse
of
the
same
.
Let
therfore
the
weapons
be
laide
downe
,
forrein
power
countermanded
&
this
Realme
deliuered
out
of
that
daunger
which
now
it
is
like
to
incur
by
this
rising
&
taking
of
armes
,
and
in
lieu
of
proceeding
in
this
way
which
is
full
of
stumblinge
blockes
,
miseries
and
both
priuate
and
publike
calamities
,
let
the
path
of
reason
duely
be
sought
out
,
vndertaken
&
followed
,
whereby
Gods
holy
Church
,
the
enemy
of
all
violence
may
more
easily
be
restored
to
her
power
and
beauty
,
and
the
Nobility
satisfyed
and
contented
as
it
ought
to
be
.
For
which
of
the
kings
his
Maiesties
predecessors
haue
in
effect
shewed
any
token
of
more
loue
or
cherishing
the
order
thereof
then
his
Maiesty
hath
done
?
as
not
being
contented
with
preferring
it
before
the
aunciente
and
principall
honors
and
degrées
of
this
realme
,
but
hath
expresly
erected
and
made
others
new
,
which
he
hath
consecrated
to
the
illustration
of
true
nobility
,
as
hauing
excluded
and
depriued
all
other
estates
from
the
same
.
His
Maiesty
will
also
effectually
prouide
with
al
speede
for
the
ease
of
his
people
,
like
as
he
hath
already
very
well
begon
,
and
wisheth
to
his
power
to
continue
.
Moreouer
notwithstanding
the
Captaines
of
this
warre
do
promise
that
their
power
and
forces
shall
liue
so
orderlye
that
all
men
shall
like
thereof
,
and
withall
that
they
exhorte
the
cities
and
towns
not
to
admit
any
garrisons
,
yet
doe
wee
sée
that
the
souldiours
when
they
haue
gathered
together
do
already
commit
infinite
oppressions
and
excesse
,
also
that
they
haue
placed
forces
in
those
townes
and
holdes
which
they
haue
seised
vpon
,
to
the
end
to
rule
and
keepe
them
in
their
obedience
.
Besides
al
this
it
is
euident
that
many
vagabonds
&
idle
persons
will
as
hath
bene
accustomed
rise
vnder
the
name
&
coulor
of
either
part
who
will
commit
infinite
sacrileges
and
mischiefes
.
In
such
sort
that
in
lieu
of
stopping
the
daunger
which
threatneth
the
destruction
of
Gods
seruice
and
all
good
men
as
by
this
warre
they
do
promise
,
it
will
replenish
the
whole
realme
withall
impiety
and
vngodlines
.
They
doe
also
geue
out
that
their
liues
are
in
daunger
,
and
that
that
is
one
of
the
causes
that
moueth
them
to
rise
,
No
man
can
thinke
that
this
complaint
any
whit
concerneth
hys
Maiesty
,
aswell
in
respecte
of
the
good
and
fauorable
vsage
that
at
all
times
they
haue
receiued
at
his
hands
,
as
also
in
that
his
said
Maiesty
is
naturally
so
farre
from
all
sort
of
reueng
that
the
person
is
yet
vnborne
,
that
can
iustly
complaine
of
him
for
the
same
,
notwithstanding
whatsoeuer
offence
against
him
committed
,
wheras
contrarywise
there
are
many
that
hauing
proued
his
clemency
may
serue
for
a
perpetuall
remembrance
to
the
posterity
.
In
consideration
her
of
his
said
Maiesty
desireth
and
exhorteth
the
Captaines
of
the
sayd
risings
spéedely
to
disperse
their
bandes
,
countermaund
the
straungers
,
and
depart
from
al
factions
,
and
as
his
kinsmen
and
seruants
,
to
repose
assured
confidence
in
his
loue
and
good
will
,
which
in
so
doing
he
offereth
to
continue
vnto
them
,
by
honoring
them
with
his
fauour
and
making
them
partakers
of
such
honours
as
he
is
accustomed
to
bestow
vpon
men
of
theyr
calling
:
to
ioyne
and
revnite
themselues
vnto
him
,
to
the
ende
duely
and
effectually
to
prouide
for
the
restoring
of
Gods
seruice
,
and
the
common
wealth
of
his
said
subiectes
in
suche
order
as
shal
be
thought
méete
and
conuenient
,
whereto
his
Maiesty
is
willing
to
herken
.
He
also
warneth
all
Ecclesiasticall
persons
and
gentlemen
his
subiectes
wel
to
weigh
the
consequence
of
these
stirres
,
sincerely
to
embrace
his
entent
,
and
to
beleue
that
his
minde
alwayes
hath
and
still
shall
tend
to
do
good
to
all
,
and
harme
and
displeasure
to
none
.
He
doth
therfore
most
straightly
command
them
and
all
other
his
subiectes
to
depart
and
withdraw
themselues
from
all
leagues
&
assotiations
,
and
to
revnite
themselues
vnto
him
,
as
nature
,
duety
,
and
their
owne
wealth
and
health
doth
bind
them
,
to
the
ende
that
if
these
commotions
do
procede
any
farther
(
which
he
beseecheth
the
goodnesse
of
allmighty
God
not
to
permit
)
he
may
haue
assistaunce
and
succor
in
their
counsaile
,
weapons
and
commodities
to
the
preseruation
of
the
Realme
,
wherevnto
is
linked
the
Catholike
Apostolike
&
Romish
Church
therein
,
their
honor
,
reputation
,
persons
,
famelies
,
and
goods
.
Offering
and
promisinge
vnto
them
in
so
doing
the
continuance
of
his
fauor
with
recompence
for
their
fidelity
and
seruice
.
