The
declaration
of
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
touching
the
slaunders
published
against
him
,
in
the
protestations
of
them
of
the
League
,
which
are
risen
vp
in
this
Realme
.
THE
King
of
Nauarre
,
vpon
the
view
and
consideration
of
the
protestations
,
and
Declarations
of
those
that
this
daye
trouble
the
estate
of
this
Kingdome
,
vnder
the
name
of
the
holy
League
,
wherein
they
would
couer
their
wicked
intent
,
partly
with
zeale
of
Religion
,
&
partly
with
affection
and
good
will
towarde
the
common
wealth
:
But
particularly
take
his
Maiestie
for
the
partie
against
whome
they
are
bent
,
as
though
be
were
an
Heretike
,
a
Relaps
,
a
Persecutor
of
the
Church
,
a
disturber
of
the
estate
,
&
a
sworne
enemie
against
the
estate
,
&c.
hath
thought
it
,
as
appertaining
to
his
dutye
,
to
giue
cleare
euidence
and
manifest
declaration
,
to
all
Kinges
,
Princes
,
and
Nations
of
Christendome
,
against
these
slaunders
:
but
specially
to
the
King
his
soueraigue
Lord
,
and
to
all
manner
of
people
,
of
what
state
or
degree
soeuer
they
bee
,
within
this
Realme
,
the
rather
,
for
that
under
his
shadowe
,
they
make
no
conscience
to
attempt
against
the
Crowne
of
their
Prince
,
and
bring
a
miserable
confusion
vpon
his
whole
estate
.
First
therefore
,
touching
the
matter
of
Religion
,
the
sayde
Lorde
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
protesteth
before
God
(
who
seeth
the
bottome
of
his
hart
,
before
the
King
his
soneraine
Lorde
,
vnto
whome
his
principall
desire
is
to
approoue
his
actions
,
before
all
the
abouesayde
Princes
and
Nations
,
to
whose
testimonie
and
iudgement
hee
willingly
yeldeth
himselfe
)
that
he
hopeth
not
for
any
saluation
,
otherwise
then
in
the
Christian
faith
and
Religion
,
which
hee
embraceth
with
all
hartie
affection
,
and
for
an
infallible
rule
thereof
,
hee
receaueth
the
word
contained
in
the
olde
and
new
Testament
,
which
it
hath
pleased
GOD
to
preserue
in
this
darknes
,
for
the
light
&
direction
of
his
Church
:
that
hee
beleeueth
one
Catholike
and
Apostelike
Church
,
for
the
preferuation
&
continuall
endewing
wherof
with
all
manner
of
graces
,
bee
daily
prayeth
vnto
to
God
,
and
would
thinke
himselfe
most
happie
to
shedde
his
blood
in
the
defence
thereof
against
the
Infidelles
:
That
he
beleeueth
the
Creedes
or
abridgements
of
the
Christian
faith
,
which
haue
bene
set
downe
by
the
same
Catholike
and
Apostlike
Church
,
to
serue
as
markes
or
cognisances
,
whereby
the
Christians
and
Rightbeleeuers
may
be
discerned
from
such
as
thinke
amisse
of
the
faith
,
and
from
heretikes
:
And
also
bee
embraceth
the
most
auncient
,
famous
,
and
lawfull
Counsels
,
that
haue
bene
holden
against
them
.
He
reiecteth
and
detesteth
with
all
his
hart
,
all
doctrines
by
them
condemned
,
and
for
the
reuerence
he
beareth
to
the
Church
,
yea
,
&
wil
be
alwayes
ready
to
yeld
to
her
iudgement
,
and
stand
to
her
decrée
,
when
shee
shal
be
orderly
assembled
in
a
lawfull
and
holy
counsell
.
As
touching
the
matter
in
controuersie
,
whereof
in
these
dayes
there
is
question
in
the
church
:
The
said
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
desireth
,
that
consideration
may
bee
had
,
that
hee
is
not
the
onely
man
;
nor
the
first
,
that
hath
complained
of
the
abuses
brought
into
the
church
,
and
desired
reformation
of
the
same
:
And
therfore
it
should
bee
too
harde
,
that
this
most
true
Christian
desire
,
to
see
the
Church
reformed
,
should
be
imputed
vnto
him
as
heresie
,
or
enimitie
against
the
same
:
In
that
for
the
space
of
fiue
hundred
yeares
and
aboue
,
it
hath
bene
a
common
complaint
of
all
Princes
,
of
all
learned
men
,
and
of
all
holy
personnages
,
that
the
Churche
through
all
this
long
tract
of
tyme
,
hath
lost
much
of
her
first
puritie
and
sinceritie
,
for
shee
being
thus
compounded
of
men
,
who
without
doubt
,
euer
with
themselues
added
&
brought
some
what
of
their
owne
inuentions
vnto
her
.
So
that
it
hath
bene
the
voyce
of
all
Councelles
(
without
exception
of
any
)
which
haue
béene
holden
within
the
compasse
of
the
time
aforesaid
that
the
Church
had
great
néede
of
reformation
,
which
in
euery
age
hath
béene
long
desired
,
yea
,
and
vehemently
sighed
for
,
by
all
the
best
sort
of
men
,
out
of
whose
mouthes
this
sentence
would
neuer
else
haue
procéeded
:
to
witte
,
that
whosoeuer
should
affirme
the
Church
to
haue
néede
of
purging
,
ought
to
be
taken
for
an
heretike
,
and
enimie
of
the
same
,
That
the
most
Christian
Kings
well
perceauing
the
same
,
haue
often
for
the
like
effect
thought
it
to
appertaine
to
their
office
,
and
toward
the
discharge
of
their
consciences
,
to
exhort
the
Pope
and
Christian
Princes
to
a
generall
Councell
,
which
in
the
Popes
default
,
and
in
case
hee
winked
at
the
matter
,
they
could
very
well
take
vppon
them
to
call
together
by
their
owne
authoritie
,
from
whence
haue
proceeded
vnder
their
owne
names
,
most
laudable
ordynaunces
,
for
the
reformation
of
the
french
Church
.
So
that
,
in
the
ende
after
long
complaint
of
many
ages
,
when
they
,
to
whome
the
matter
seemed
to
appertaine
,
would
not
take
in
hande
,
but
rather
(
as
all
men
know
)
imployed
themselues
in
the
affaires
of
the
worlde
,
it
came
to
passe
,
that
many
Princes
,
Peoples
,
and
estates
,
with
great
care
weying
and
considering
the
reasons
alledged
vnto
them
,
and
seeing
the
defence
and
maintenaunce
of
the
same
,
by
the
great
constancie
of
infinite
Parsons
of
all
degrées
,
in
most
gréeuous
torments
,
euen
vnto
th'
extremitie
of
death
:
did
remit
the
said
reformation
to
a
lawful
Councell
,
and
vpon
refusall
of
the
same
,
did
protest
against
the
abuses
,
which
they
pretented
to
be
in
the
Churche
:
and
thereunto
did
laye
their
owne
helping
hande
to
redresse
the
same
:
from
whence
sprang
the
Schisme
,
which
the
saide
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
doth
nowe
bewaile
to
see
in
the
Christian
Church
,
and
against
the
which
it
was
not
vnpossible
in
so
long
tyme
to
find
remedie
,
if
the
honour
of
God
,
and
the
saluation
of
men
had
touched
vs
as
neere
,
as
our
owne
glorie
or
particular
profit
.
The
sayd
King
of
Nauarre
,
in
regard
of
him selfe
,
saith
,
that
he
was
not
only
borne
during
this
vnhappy
Schisme
,
that
thus
hath
happened
in
the
Christian
Churche
,
(
the
continuance
whereof
,
he
iudgeth
,
ought
to
be
imputed
to
such
,
as
sought
not
means
to
revnite
the
Churche
as
they
ought
to
haue
done
)
but
also
that
hee
was
brought
vp
in
Fraunce
,
while
th'
exercise
of
both
the
Religions
was
permitted
by
the
King
,
in
the
generall
estates
of
his
Realme
,
and
after
confirmed
by
many
of
his
Maiesties
Edictes
:
besides
,
he
was
nourished
and
instructed
in
his
tender
years
in
this
beliefe
,
that
there
were
great
abuses
in
the
doctrine
of
the
Romishe
Church
,
which
〈◊〉
great
neede
of
reformation
:
And
after
that
hee
was
confirmed
in
the
same
,
all
●ell
by
the
conference
of
many
lenthed
me
;
as
all
so
by
reading
the
holy
Scriptures
.
So
that
he
beléeueth
in
his
hart●●●éely
cof●●eth
with
his
mouth
,
that
he
is
verily
per●●aded
that
the
trueth
is
on
his
side
:
Which
hath
beene
an
occasion
of
his
falling
,
into
very
many
dangers
and
losses
,
rather
then
to
〈◊〉
the
same
.
By
which
occasion
also
(
to
his
great
griefe
)
he
neuer
hande
the
meane
to
do
such
seruices
,
neither
to
bee
partalier
of
the
good
grace
&
fauour
of
his
soueraigne
Lord
and
Prince
,
as
otherwise
without
doubt
,
he
might
haue
done
,
if
hee
could
(
with
a
safe
conscience
)
haue
framed
himselfe
so
that
profession
,
which
his
Ma●essle
followeth
.
Yet
(
notwithstanding
)
to
giue
knowledge
to
all
men
,
that
whatsoeuer
hee
hath
done
in
that
respect
,
was
not
of
obstinacie
,
but
of
constancie
,
neither
by
ambition
,
but
for
the
onely
desire
of
his
saluation
:
hee
most
humbly
bes●cheth
his
Maiestie
,
to
cause
a
free
and
lawfull
councell
to
be
helden
,
according
to
the
promises
alwayes
made
by
his
edicts
.
The
said
King
of
Nauarre
,
being
alwayes
ready
to
receiue
instruction
from
the
same
,
and
to
rule
his
beliefe
according
to
that
whiche
there
shal
be
discided
,
concerning
the
controuersies
in
religion
.
As
for
the
counsel
of
Trent
,
it
is
not
to
be
obeyed
.
For
although
the
continuance
thereof
was
prosecuted
by
the
late
king
Charles
,
and
in
the
ende
obteyned
at
the
handes
of
Pope
Paulus
the
thirde
,
and
after
the
proclayming
thereof
,
Ambassadores
were
sent
from
his
maiestie
to
the
same
counsell
with
Christian
and
Catholike
instructions
,
agréeable
to
the
holy
decres
of
the
romish
church
,
and
approued
by
the
Colledg
,
of
Sorbonne
,
and
the
Doctors
of
the
same
,
sent
to
the
said
counsell
with
the
sayd
Ambassadors
:
Yet
not
withstanding
all
their
diligence
vsed
toward
the
Cardinales
,
Legates
,
and
presidentes
in
the
saide
Counsell
,
by
the
space
of
eightéene
Monethes
and
aboue
,
it
was
not
possible
to
obteyne
any
thing
conformable
to
the
saide
instructions
,
nor
to
reforme
the
ecclesiasticall
order
according
to
the
same
.
When
his
maiestie
was
aduertised
therof
,
and
well
perceiuing
the
harmes
that
might
growe
thereby
:
he
gaue
commaundement
to
his
Ambassadores
,
to
protest
agaynst
the
sayd
Counsell
,
and
after
their
protestation
made
,
to
come
home
from
thence
,
and
so
they
did
accordingly
.
And
albeit
great
suite
and
intreatie
was
made
vnto
them
,
by
the
Pope
and
the
sayd
Cardinales
,
and
the
deceased
Cardinall
of
Loraine
,
to
returne
to
the
said
counsell
,
and
stay
there
tyll
the
ende
of
the
same
:
yet
they
would
neuer
yéeld
so
to
doo
.
So
that
the
same
counsell
was
continued
,
ended
,
and
concluded
without
them
,
&
without
their
signet
,
according
to
the
custome
of
all
times
.
Wherby
also
it
came
to
passe
,
that
for
any
instant
pursuit
that
was
made
,
for
the
receyuing
and
publishyng
of
the
same
counsell
,
in
the
Court
of
Parliament
at
Paris
,
the
said
Court
,
the
Chambers
being
assembled
,
hath
alwaies
withstoode
it
,
and
that
in
the
yeere
thréescore
and
twelue
,
after
Bartholmeweday
,
when
the
same
séemed
greatly
to
fauour
their
suite
.
Therfore
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
thinketh
,
that
men
of
vpright
iudgement
,
cannot
accompt
him
either
an
heretique
or
an
obstinate
person
,
considering
the
matter
is
yet
vndiscided
and
in
respect
he
submitteth
him selfe
to
the
triall
of
a
counsell
,
neither
can
they
iudge
him
contentious
or
vniust
,
that
will
yéelde
to
the
decrée
of
a
Parliament
,
whatsoeuer
the
aduocate
or
counseller
●vn
the
one
partie
can
cauill
to
the
contrarie
,
ne
yet
déeme
him
for
a
schismatique
or
stubbourne
offender
,
seeing
he
yéeldeth
this
obedience
and
reuerence
to
the
assemblie
of
the
estates
,
to
be
redy
to
make
his
appearaunce
there
both
to
yéelde
a
reason
of
his
oppinion
there
,
and
likewise
to
learne
there
,
yea
and
to
chaunge
to
better
,
when
better
shall
be
taught
him
.
On
the
contrary
side
he
complayneth
,
that
hitherto
for
the
space
of
manie
yéeres
,
he
hath
séene
these
zealous
persons
assembled
to
destroy
him
,
but
not
to
instruct
him
.
He
complayneth
of
a
processe
:
begynning
with
execution
,
of
a
teaching
,
begunne
with
excommunication
,
without
any
kind
of
formalitie
that
eyther
is
requisit
,
or
may
be
allowed
to
procéede
.
Protesting
before
al
Princes
and
estates
,
and
aboue
all
others
,
before
the
King
his
Soueraigne
Lorde
,
to
whom
he
maketh
his
recourse
for
iustice
,
&
before
the
estate
of
this
kingdom
,
vnto
whom
he
intendeth
to
represent
his
actions
,
against
the
aucthors
and
fauters
of
this
league
,
of
so
manyfest
violence
,
precipitation
,
and
iniustice
.
The
said
King
of
Nauarre
also
affirmeth
,
that
the
name
&
blame
of
a
relaps
or
a
backslider
,
cannot
rightly
be
applied
vnto
him
,
by
vertue
whereof
,
(
though
by
a
counsell
he
shoulde
yeelde
to
chaunge
his
opinion
)
theyr
pretence
is
to
depriue
him
from
the
succession
of
the
Crowne
,
whereon
God
graunt
they
thinke
as
litle
as
he
.
And
therby
he
referreth
the
cause
to
all
mens
vpright
consideration
,
to
thinke
with
what
charitie
his
aduersaries
procéede
herein
.
And
whereunto
their
deuise
may
tend
,
to
cut
from
him
(
asmuch
as
lieth
in
their
power
)
the
desire
to
procure
his
instruction
in
a
counfell
,
without
entring
into
the
depth
that
might
ouerthrowe
it
,
both
by
Cannons
,
and
examples
.
In
their
language
,
they
call
them
Relapses
or
backsliders
,
that
haue
been
heretiques
and
abiured
there
heresies
,
and
yet
neuertheles
after
wards
fall
into
the
same
againe
.
Therefore
forasmuch
as
the
King
of
Nauarre
(
as
here
aboue
appeareth
)
hath
not
by
the
Cannons
been
an
heretique
:
it
is
most
cléere
that
he
cannot
be
a
relaps
.
He
further
affirmeth
,
that
though
he
had
been
,
or
shoulde
be
an
heretique
,
yet
could
he
not
be
a
relaps
,
considering
he
was
neuer
conuerted
from
the
pretended
heresie
,
and
considering
also
,
that
no
one
euer
thought
to
take
any
payne
,
or
seeke
meanes
howe
to
perswade
or
conuert
him
,
but
these
zealous
fellowes
haue
shot
at
no
other
marke
,
with
all
their
driftes
and
endeuours
,
then
to
ouerthrowe
and
destroy
him
.
They
alledge
here
,
that
the
said
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
after
Bartholmewe
day
,
sent
to
the
Pope
,
and
yéelded
to
goe
to
masse
,
Setting
age
asid
,
euery
man
knoweth
what
kinde
of
conuersion
this
was
,
and
whether
he
had
iust
cause
of
scare
or
not
,
lenger
refutation
would
be
friuolous
.
The
truth
is
,
if
,
by
all
lawes
,
our
actions
are
accompted
of
no
force
,
when
they
procéede
through
feare
or
force
:
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
neuer
had
action
lesse
will
,
neither
euer
had
any
action
more
force
.
The
truth
is
also
,
that
he
had
not
so
soone
recouered
his
will
,
but
he
caused
she
same
to
appeare
by
publique
profession
,
what
it
was
,
and
that
in
the
middest
of
the
Catholiques
which
were
in
his
cempanie
,
and
seemed
to
possesse
him
at
that
time
:
without
either
dissimulation
or
subtillie
,
whereby
his
errour
might
appeare
to
be
altogether
farre
from
hippocrfle
.
The
saide
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
most
humbly
beséecheth
the
King
his
Lord
,
that
it
would
please
him
to
take
in
good
parte
,
his
modest
answere
also
,
to
that
blame
whiche
they
lay
to
his
charge
,
that
he
is
a
persecuter
of
the
Catholique
Church
.
And
touching
this
poynte
,
he
citeth
the
consciences
of
his
greatest
enimies
to
answere
before
God
,
whether
this
title
in
any
respecte
can
appertaine
vnto
him
.
Let
euery
man
here
consider
,
that
the
ciuill
warres
sel
in
the
tender
yéeres
of
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
whether
there
be
any
likelyhood
,
that
he
enterprised
warre
with
a
ioyfull
hart
persecute
the
Catholikes
,
euery
man
knowing
their
number
,
aucthoritie
,
and
force
in
this
kingdome
,
to
be
wholy
without
and
frée
from
persecution
:
Who
vnder
the
kinges
onely
name
were
in
safetie
,
in
regard
of
the
sayde
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
of
all
that
dependeth
on
him
,
from
all
attemptes
,
enterprises
and
iniuries
whatsoeuer
.
Verily
there
haue
ben
rigours
and
persecutions
heard
,
and
spoken
of
in
Fraunce
,
within
the
space
of
certaine
yéeres
passed
:
But
no
man
at
any
time
interpreted
them
other
wise
then
passiuelie
,
in
regard
of
them
of
the
religion
,
and
aniuely
in
regard
of
others
.
And
to
vse
any
woord
to
the
contrary
,
would
be
so
vnantly
spoken
,
that
no
man
would
vnderstand
it
.
It
pleased
King
Charles
,
to
cause
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
repayre
to
his
Coart
,
and
to
honour
him
with
Marriage
of
his
sister
.
He
came
thither
in
the
religion
wherein
he
was
brought
vp
:
●ut
that
which
followed
may
better
be
shaddowed
with
silence
,
then
to
be
now
againe
fresh
repeated
.
When
he
departed
from
thence
,
he
went
backe
into
his
owne
Countries
.
When
peace
was
made
with
my
Lorde
that
is
deceased
,
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
vsed
not
so
muche
as
one
woord
by
way
of
request
,
for
any
thing
concerning
him selfe
,
neither
is
there
any
one
article
to
be
redde
therein
that
toucheth
him
.
And
yet
without
doubt
he
had
greater
occasion
then
any
other
,
either
to
beare
some
stomacke
for
matters
passed
,
or
to
be
as
it
were
recompenced
for
the
losses
he
suffered
.
How●eit
the
saide
King
of
Nauarre
woulde
not
,
for
his
owne
particular
occasion
,
hinder
the
peace
and
tranquilitie
of
this
Realme
,
and
the
succour
and
comfort
of
the
people
,
so
much
as
the
space
of
one
onely
day
.
Yet
it
is
well
knowen
,
that
if
he
had
been
so
minded
;
it
lay
in
his
handes
at
that
time
,
to
haue
serued
his
owne
turne
with
the
armie
,
of
the
Rutters
,
who
euery
houre
were
readie
(
for
default
of
their
pay
at
the
Kinges
handes
,
according
to
the
articles
of
the
peace
)
to
enter
into
a
mutinie
,
and
turne
their
heads
towardes
Paris
.
Contrariwise
,
then
was
the
time
wherein
the
heades
and
maisters
of
this
league
(
abusing
his
clemencie
and
goodnes
)
deuised
this
pretended
holy
league
,
agaynst
the
kinges
edict
then
newly
proclaymed
,
whereby
in
expresse
woordes
,
they
swoore
the
vtter
destruction
of
them
of
the
religion
,
without
any
exception
or
acception
of
persons
,
and
without
respect
or
regard
of
alliance
,
affinitie
,
consanguinitie
,
kinred
,
or
brotherhood
.
Such
as
entred
thereinto
,
without
looking
into
the
depth
of
the
matter
,
drewe
themselues
out
as
soone
as
they
knewe
it
.
And
a●
concerning
the
saide
King
of
Nauarre
,
then
wore
the
instructions
discouered
,
which
as
this
day
are
put
in
execution
,
concluding
his
death
&
also
the
death
of
my
Lord
the
prince
his
Cozin
,
and
all
their
blood
,
Note
of
Dauid
the
aduocate
.
for
the
preparing
of
a
more
easie
waye
to
the
aduersaries
,
(
as
is
expressely
set
downe
)
to
the
inuasion
of
this
kingdome
.
Heere
let
all
men
indge
,
who
at
that
time
was
the
agent
,
or
pacient
,
the
persecuter
,
or
the
persecuted
.
Thence
issued
the
ciuill
wars
of
the
yéere
one
M.
flue
hundred
&
seauenty
seanen
,
when
they
had
induced
the
assemblie
of
Bloys
,
to
the
execution
of
their
deuise
:
it
had
béene
altogether
against
nature
,
if
the
sayde
King
of
Nauarre
,
or
they
that
are
of
his
profession
,
had
not
made
resistaunce
against
the
same
.
For
thereby
a
snare
was
layde
for
his
person
and
life
:
his
conscience
and
honor
were
layd
for
by
the
same
,
and
the
kingdome
or
royall
estate
,
(
as
nowe
manifestlie
appeareth
)
was
in
daunger
.
The
great
inconuenience
and
perrill
,
which
the
king
perceiued
not
,
did
then
but
begin
to
bud
foorth
,
insomuch
,
that
his
maiestie
could
not
imagine
anie
such
thing
toward
them
,
who
helde
all
their
prosperity
of
him
.
But
the
King
of
Nauarre
wel
foresawe
it
:
yea
contrariwise
,
the
defaulte
of
resisting
the
same
,
woulde
haue
béene
the
betraying
of
himselfe
,
the
destruction
of
this
estate
,
and
the
submission
of
himselfe
to
their
desires
,
in
stéede
of
setting
himselfe
against
the
same
.
In
the
meane
space
,
though
the
cruell
clauses
of
the
conspiracie
were
very
suffcient
,
immediatly
to
turne
his
patience
into
fury
,
and
the
naturall
mildnes
and
mercy
of
them
that
issue
of
his
house
,
into
reuenge
:
although
also
he
saw
the
professors
of
his
religion
,
to
runne
to
him
from
all
partes
,
béeing
rigorously
persecuted
,
or
put
to
theyr
choyse
to
depart
the
Realme
,
or
recant
theyr
religion
.
Yet
neuerthelesse
,
the
sayde
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
in
the
Townes
vnder
his
power
,
would
not
vse
the
like
maner
of
dealing
toward
the
Catholiques
,
nor
against
the
Monkes
and
Clergiemen
,
which
indéede
might
be
suspected
,
and
disfauoure
the
execution
of
his
affayres
.
On
the
contrary
side
,
they
of
Agen
well
know
(
which
example
he
alleageth
,
for
that
there
was
the
place
of
his
resident
,
hauing
a
byshopricke
in
it
,
and
being
a
towne
of
some
fame
)
that
the
Catholikes
there
suffered
no
hard
dealing
in
theyr
persons
or
goodes
,
nor
discontinuaunce
in
the
matter
of
their
religion
.
That
the
Clergie
applyed
their
accustomed
seruices
.
That
the
Monkes
preached
freely
in
the
greatest
heate
of
the
sayd
troubles
.
That
be
was
content
the
professors
of
his
religion
should
make
theyr
sermons
in
priuate
and
borrowed
houses
,
to
the
ende
,
the
professors
of
the
Romish
religion
shoulds
not
in
any
wise
be
troubled
.
That
for
the
furnishing
of
necessaries
for
his
defence
,
he
tooke
not
aboue
the
tenthes
which
the
King
was
wont
to
leuie
vpon
the
clergie
.
At
what
time
all
his
patrimony
was
seasd
and
taken
out
of
his
handes
in
all
places
:
whereof
my
Lorde
the
Duke
of
Montpencido
may
be
witnes
,
a
prince
most
affectioned
to
the
Romish
religion
,
as
all
men
very
well
knowe
.
And
also
Mounsier
the
Marshall
of
Biron
,
my
L.
the
Archbishop
of
Vienna
,
Mounsir
de
Villeroy
,
secretary
of
estate
to
his
Maiestie
,
and
many
others
,
that
were
beholders
of
it
vpon
the
places
,
can
giue
testimony
of
the
same
.
As
soone
as
liberty
of
conscience
was
granted
,
albeit
with
very
great
restraint
in
comparison
of
the
former
edict
,
he
vnarmde
him selfe
without
delay
,
though
(
as
hys
Maiestie
best
of
all
others
knoweth
)
hee
coulde
haue
continued
the
warres
with
greater
power
and
meanes
,
by
reason
of
the
notable
ayde
which
hee
had
procured
from
the
Princes
of
hys
religion
,
béeing
so
farre
forwarde
,
that
a
strong
Armye
of
straungers
was
at
the
poynt
of
entring
into
this
kingdome
:
thinking
himselfe
happy
to
haue
dispatched
the
same
away
,
in
sort
,
that
the
poore
people
by
occasion
thereof
might
suffer
no
farther
inconuenience
:
choosing
rather
by
succouring
them
,
to
impayre
his
owne
condition
,
then
to
better
it
with
theyr
hinderaunce
.
Wherefore
the
sayd
Lorde
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
prayeth
all
men
freely
to
speake
theyr
mindes
,
whether
hee
hath
in
any
respect
by
his
demencures
,
descrued
the
name
of
a
persecutor
,
which
his
enimies
attribute
vnto
him
,
that
would
not
take
this
resolution
,
to
suffer
them
goe
forwarde
with
the
execution
of
theyr
barbarous
persecutions
and
bloudie
deuises
,
against
him
at
the
first
shewe
,
but
consequently
against
the
Kinges
Maiesty
and
his
royall
estate
.
In
those
Countries
where
the
saide
King
of
Nauarre
,
by
the
grace
of
God
,
hath
soucraigne
power
and
authority
,
he
thinketh
also
to
haue
as
little
deserued
this
blame
in
the
iudgement
of
them
that
haue
well
knowne
the
nature
of
matters
,
and
the
order
of
his
procéedinges
:
And
in
all
that
remaineth
to
him
of
the
kingdome
of
Nauarre
,
where
at
his
comming
to
hys
dignity
,
he
founde
the
exercise
of
the
Catholique
Romish
religion
,
it
is
most
certeyne
,
that
he
hath
neither
altered
nor
innouated
any
thing
therein
,
in
so
much
that
the
seruice
of
the
same
is
there
stil
vsed
at
this
day
,
without
any
exercise
of
the
reformed
religion
,
sauing
in
two
places
onely
.
And
as
touching
his
countrie
of
Bearne
,
which
is
no
great
land
,
the
Quéene
his
mother
in
a
generall
assemblie
of
the
estates
,
did
there
establish
the
said
religion
,
whereof
her selfe
made
profession
,
and
no
complaynt
of
the
chaung
of
religion
followed
thereuppon
to
the
said
estates
,
in
the
space
of
many
yéeres
after
it
had
continued
in
the
same
estate
,
as
he
hath
alredie
fréely
declared
,
hauing
alwaies
been
of
this
opinion
,
that
a
discréet
and
well
counseiled
Prince
,
without
great
necessitie
or
euident
profit
,
ought
not
to
bring
any
chaunge
into
his
estate
.
And
though
commoditie
or
necessitie
shoulde
require
the
same
,
yet
it
were
expedient
that
it
shoulde
be
accomplished
by
the
like
waye
,
whereby
the
constitution
was
before
made
.
Nowe
he
had
well
pérceiued
,
that
after
Bartholmew
day
,
when
him selfe
,
by
force
and
violence
,
had
yéelded
in
the
cause
of
religion
,
and
sent
Monsir
de
Mieussent
for
gouernour
and
Liuetenant
generall
,
into
his
sayde
Countrie
of
Bearne
(
whom
all
men
knowe
to
be
a
Catholique
)
with
expresse
commission
there
to
set
up
agayne
,
the
Catholique
Romishe
religion
:
Yet
notwithstanding
the
great
dispayre
that
then
was
of
the
affayres
of
religion
in
Fraunce
,
notwithstanding
the
contrary
profession
of
him selfe
,
which
might
serue
for
an
example
to
his
subiectes
,
and
notwithstanding
the
aucthoritie
of
a
gouernour
by
him
expressly
sent
,
they
did
all
resolue
to
perseuer
in
their
religion
,
and
maintaine
the
forme
of
their
estate
,
without
receiuing
the
said
alteration
in
religion
.
Wherefore
the
sayde
King
of
Nauarre
,
thought
and
let
al
men
indge
whether
without
good
reason
or
not
)
that
it
was
a
firme
and
well
grounded
resolution
of
his
estats
,
forasmuch
as
necessity
,
yea
&
that
such
necessitie
,
as
giueth
law
to
al
laws
,
was
not
in
any
wise
able
to
remoue
them
from
it
.
Also
it
is
most
true
,
that
in
the
assemblies
of
the
estaes
which
are
from
yéere
too
yéere
holden
in
his
said
countrie
of
Bearne
,
there
neuer
appeared
any
man
that
required
this
change
of
religion
,
though
,
(
as
it
is
well
knowen
,
there
is
suche
libertie
vsed
in
those
assemblies
,
that
the
least
griefe
pretended
to
haue
béen
rereiued
from
the
Prince
,
may
be
propounded
with
request
of
reformation
and
recompence
,
whereby
it
appeareth
to
be
afore
any
practise
,
of
the
enufers
of
the
tranquilitie
of
his
subiectes
,
and
not
an
in
warde
desire
of
them
.
And
yet
for
all
that
,
the
sayde
Lord
the
king
of
Nauarre
hath
not
ceased
,
to
make
continual
payment
of
the
pentions
of
the
Prelats
,
and
other
Ecclesiastical
persons
of
his
said
countrie
,
(
for
proofe
wherof
,
he
will
bring
foorth
no
other
witnesses
but
them selues
)
and
that
most
often
with
his
owne
proper
money
,
as
the
bishops
of
Acques
and
Oleron
,
and
others
well
knowe
.
And
that
more
is
,
of
his
owne
m●ere
motion
,
for
the
contentation
of
such●
of
his
subiectes
,
as
might
continue
in
the
Catholique
Romishe
religion
,
he
moderated
touching
the
cause
of
Religion
,
the
ordenaunces
of
the
Quéene
his
mother
●●ceased
,
which
were
but
very
small
amercen●entes
in
monie
.
So
far
of
was
it
euer
in
those
parties
from
such
procéeding
against
the
Catholiques
,
by
banishment
,
corporall
●●nishment
,
death
,
burnings
,
torments
,
searching
&
sifting
,
as
they
that
in
these
bayes
call
themselues
the
protectors
of
the
Catholique
Romish
religion
;
haue
counsailed
,
practised
,
and
brought
in
,
against
the
professors
of
the
contrary
religion
.
And
héereof
the
Catholiques
of
Bearne
are
witnesses
,
who
there
liue
,
in
all
peace
and
tranquillity
.
Of
whome
,
many
doo
exercise
notable
offices
,
either
in
the
same
Countrey
,
or
néere
about
the
person
of
the
sayd
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
and
hath
the
chéefest
charge
in
his
gards
,
and
bee
Captaynes
of
his
best
houses
,
which
it
is
not
likely
that
he
wold
euer
allow
,
or
consent
vnto
,
if
he
had
vsed
any
euill
dealing
toward
them
,
or
if
he
kept
any
grudge
in
his
heart
,
to
bee
executed
against
them
héereafter
.
By
the
premisses
,
it
is
sufficiently
answered
to
theyr
affirmation
,
whereby
they
pretende
him
to
be
the
sworne
enemie
of
the
Catholiques
.
Yet
neuertheles
,
the
sayde
Lorde
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
desirous
to
open
his
hart
to
al
the
world
,
wil
not
sticke
,
to
lay
open
vnto
them
,
his
affections
,
and
actions
.
Wherefore
the
sayde
King
of
Nauarre
declareth
,
that
he●
acknowledgeth
and
beléeueth
,
and
hath
alwayes
beléeued
and
acknowleged
,
that
in
case
the
foundation
of
a
good
conscience
be
layde
thereon
,
the
diuersity
of
religion
,
is
no
empechement
to
a
good
Prince
,
to
drawe
very
good
seruice
indifferently
from
his
subiects
,
nor
any
hinderaunce
to
the
subiects
,
to
yéelde
theyr
allegeance
and
bounden
duties
in
all
maner
of
respects
,
as
well
to
theyr
superiours
as
to
their
Princes
,
forasmuch
as
it
is
euident
,
that
both
the
religions
,
equally
according
to
the
word
of
God
,
doo
recommend
the
duetie
of
the
subiecte
towarde
his
Prince
,
and
of
the
inferiour
toward
his
superior
.
And
therefore
the
sayd
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
hath
alwayes
noted
thys
,
that
he
hath
béene
as
faithfully
serued
by
the
one
,
as
the
other
:
As
for
example
,
in
the
destribution
of
the
offices
of
his
house
,
all
men
knowe
well
enough
,
he
hath
indifferently
furnished
them
with
both
sortes
of
men
.
Also
the
sayd
Lord
,
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
knoweth
himselfe
to
be
well
beloued
,
and
faithfully
serued
by
Catholique
Gentlemen
,
and
other
persons
of
all
degrees
,
wheme
hée
hath
accepted
into
his
seruice
,
as
on
their
behalfes
,
they
wil
all
volutarily
acknowledge
themselues
to
bee
loued
by
him
.
without
acception
of
religion
,
and
that
according
to
the
proportion
of
his
ability
,
he
hath
bestowed
goods
and
honours
vppon
them
,
as
largely
,
and
more
abundantly
,
yea
in
the
very
tyme
of
warres
,
then
he
did
to
the
professors
of
his
owne
religion
.
And
further
,
it
is
not
vnknown
to
the
Lords
,
Gentlemen
,
and
all
other
Catholiques
,
that
during
the
time
of
the
troubles
,
he
spared
them
as
much
as
hee
coulde
in
theyr
goods
and
houses
,
neuer
suffering
anie
rigour
of
warre
to
be
vsed
to
them
,
no
not
so
much
as
against
hys
owne
Vassalles
that
rose
in
Armes
against
hym
,
and
were
present
at
the
destroying
of
his
proper
houses
,
who
notwithstanding
,
after
the
warres
were
ended
,
making
their
repayre
vnto
hym
,
were
all
welcome
to
his
presence
,
and
neuer
receyued
for
theyr
disloyall
doings
so
much
as
an
euill
word
,
or
angry
countenaunce
at
his
handes
.
So
farre
of
hath
he
béene
from
practising
against
them
directly
,
or
indirectly
,
according
to
the
sundry
meanes
,
which
the
Lord
hath
ouer
his
Vassall
,
any
kinde
of
stomacke
or
reuengement
.
Thus
much
also
dare
the
King
of
Nauarre
promise
of
his
actions
,
that
so
many
of
the
Catholiques
as
vouchsafed
to
approche
to
him
,
departed
againe
with
good
contentation
,
without
obseruing
any
thing
in
him
,
whereby
they
coulde
presnnre
other
wise
,
then
that
hee
bare
a
naturall
affection
,
to
embrace
all
the
Kings
subiects
and
seruants
,
of
what
soeuer
religion
they
bee
:
promising
in
like
sort
on
theyr
behalfe
,
the
like
good
wyll
that
they
haue
alwayes
shewed
towardes
his
.
The
sayve
King
of
Nauarre
thinketh
that
the
effects
aboue
specified
,
which
he
hath
hyther
to
continued
,
are
of
sufficient
weight
to
confute
the
allegations
proclaimed
against
him
by
his
enemies
.
Yet
neuertheles
,
haue
they
affirmed
,
that
the
sayd
Lord
,
the
King
of
Nauarre
hath
sent
into
Englande
and
Germany
,
to
conclude
a
league
,
to
the
destruction
and
confusion
of
the
Catholiques
,
for
that
(
as
they
allevge
)
he
foresawe
the
Kinges
death
,
and
meant
whensoeuer
the
same
should
happen
,
to
be
in
a
readinesse
to
chaunge
religion
&c.
to
inuade
the
possessions
of
the
Clergie
,
and
confiscate
them
of
the
Novititie
,
which
woulde
not
ioyne
themselues
as
adherents
to
his
in●ention
.
Vppon
the
which
matter
,
they
haue
dispersed
in
all
places
,
yea
and
caused
to
bee
read
in
Sermons
in
the
open
Pulpitte
,
a
certaine
concorde
or
agréement
of
the
yeere
a
thousand
,
fyue
hundred
and
eighty
foure
,
pretending
the
same
to
beare
date
the
fourteenth
of
December
:
as
resulting
of
an
assembly
holden
(
as
they
alledge
)
at
the
instance
of
the
said
king
of
Nauarre
at
Magdebourgh
,
&
that
like
wise
,
at
an
assemblie
holden
at
Montanban
,
hee
had
promised
&
sworne
(
whensoeuer
the
kings
death
shold
chance
)
to
abolish
the
Catholique
Romish
religion
,
stripping
her
of
all
her
goods
〈◊〉
possessions
,
and
to
depriue
the
professors
thereof
from
all
estates
and
dignities
.
Here
shall
euidently
appeare
,
how
easilie
euery
slaunder
,
naturally
shall
open
and
confute
her selfe
.
First
therefore
the
said
king
of
Nauarre
,
protesteth
in
his
conscience
before
God
,
that
with
all
his
hart
,
he
desireth
and
wisheth
prosperous
and
long
life
,
to
the
King
his
soueraigne
Lord
,
and
neuer
entred
into
any
conceipt
or
opinion
,
to
builde
any
deuise
or
purpose
either
vpon
his
death
or
after
.
Whiche
be
thinketh
were
not
onely
offences
of
hygh
treason
,
that
could
not
otherwise
proceede
,
then
from
a
dis●oyall
and
miserable
des●re
of
the
death
of
his
Prince
,
which
would
be
pursued
with
all
spéedie
effect
,
if
power
serued
thereto
.
But
also
an
offence
,
(
in
all
respectes
,
)
against
nature
and
common
sence
,
for
as
much
as
his
maiestie
,
thankes
be
to
God
,
is
in
the
chiefe
strength
and
time
of
his
age
,
and
ful
of
health
,
and
further
,
so
smal
difference
betwéene
both
their
ages
,
that
it
were
a
ridiculous
matter
,
in
respect
of
the
difference
of
twoo
yéeres
or
there
aboutes
,
to
take
suche
aduantage
one
ouer
the
other
.
So
farre
hath
the
saide
king
of
Nauarre
alwaies
been
from
conceyuing
any
imagination
(
as
the
heads
of
the
league
haue
done
)
to
condemne
the
king
as
readie
to
die
,
by
foreseeing
the
consequentes
of
his
death
,
or
forty
yéeres
(
as
the
sayde
king
of
Nauarre
hopeth
)
before
any
neede
require
,
and
that
vnder
coulour
of
prouiding
for
the
affayres
of
the
Realme
,
although
in
the
meane
space
they
cast
the
same
into
most
lamentable
confusion
.
So
farre
also
hath
he
euer
béene
from
making
open
declarations
,
touching
the
pronouncing
and
foreiudging
of
the
〈◊〉
and
Quéene
his
wife
,
to
be
barraine
in
the
flower
and
best
strength
of
their
age
,
(
as
the
said
confederates
haue
done
)
beinge
a
thing
neuer
practised
before
in
the
estates
of
christiendome
,
and
a
thing
also
which
the
estates
of
England
,
would
not
require
of
the
Quéene
of
Englands
yet
vmnaryed
,
reposing
them selues
vppon
her
wisedome
,
that
she
hauing
gouerned
them
in
peace
during
her
life
,
wil
leaue
the
same
for
an
inheritance
to
their
posteritie
.
To
be
breef
,
the
said
kyng
of
Nauarre
neuer
did
se
much
as
once
require
his
soueraigne
Lord
and
King
,
to
declare
him
to
be
that
which
naturally
and
lawfully
he
is
,
or
to
giue
any
signe
or
token
thereof
,
eyther
by
preferring
and
aduancing
him
,
or
otherwise
,
although
the
confederates
of
the
saide
pretended
holy
league
,
haue
enterprised
the
like
,
who
haue
armed
agaynst
him
,
my
Lorde
the
Cardmall
of
Bourbon
,
a
Prince
of
the
age
of
thréescooe
and
sire
yéeres
,
who
is
also
a
Prince
without
all
hope
both
of
maringe
and
posterity
to
be
his
heire
:
as
though
the
Kinges
Ma.
their
soueraigne
Lord
had
not
aboue
a
yéere
or
2.
to
lyue
to
haue
children
,
and
as
though
we
shold
rather
expect
issue
from
an
olde
man
,
hauing
alwaies
liued
in
single
life
,
then
from
the
kings
maiesties
florishing
marriage
,
in
the
most
chiefe
and
principall
age
of
himselfe
,
and
his
Quéene
and
wife
.
And
as
though
,
for
all
that
,
the
said
Lorde
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
coulde
not
perceiue
the
subtil
deuises
which
the
same
persons
haue
a
long
time
been
in
deuising
against
him
,
and
also
the
practises
which
they
made
a
gainst
him
in
the
townes
,
together
with
the
conspiracies
that
craftily
they
entred
into
Italy
and
Spayne
to
barre
him
,
when
the
K.
death
should
happen
,
from
the
right
of
succession
to
this
kingdom
:
for
the
which
,
his
hope
is
,
that
God
wil
grant
him
such
grace
,
giuing
long
life
to
the
Kinges
Maiestie
,
as
that
hee
shall
not
haue
any
matter
of
controuersre
,
assuring
himselfe
,
that
whatsoeuer
it
bee
that
L●●●
or
nature
will
giue
vnto
him
,
his
onimies
shall
neuer
with
all
their
leagues
&
practises
be
able
to
empeach
and
hinder
him
from
the
obteyning
of
the
same
.
The
saide
Lord
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
frankely
confesseth
,
that
by
a
long
space
he
hath
perceined
the
indirect
deuises
of
these
confederates
,
agaynst
the
Kyng
and
his
royall
estate
,
And
maketh
most
humble
petition
to
his
maiestie
,
to
call
to
remembrance
the
aduertismenter
,
that
the
saide
him
of
Nauarre
,
gaue
vnto
his
royall
maiestie
in
that
behalfe
,
in
the
yéere
of
our
Lorde
.
M.
v.c.lx
.
and
〈◊〉
.
At
what
time
he
purposely
sent
to
his
grace
a
gentelman
with
certen
remembrances
,
concorning
the
very
same
matters
,
from
poynt
to
poynt
,
that
this
day
are
taken
in
hande
to
be
executed
.
When
also
these
confederates
beganne
to
lay
their
foundation
,
under
colour
of
the
name
of
bretherhood
and
holy
league
.
That
soone
aster
thepease
concluded
,
in
the
yéere
.
M.
v.
c.lx
.
and
xvii
,
he
perceiued
the
frame
and
building
there
of
erected
by
the
stur●●●
then
madoamong
the
estates
,
stir●od
vp
by
them
diuers
prouinces
agaynst
the
seruice
of
his
Maiestie
,
so
farre
,
that
they
would
haue
enticed
the
very
professors
of
the
reformed
religion
to
the
same
,
&
had
entred
into
treaty
with
the
most
noble
Prince
Cazimire
,
Countie
Palatine
of
Rhyne
.
Who
(
as
he
will
alwaies
confesse
)
seeing
into
the
depth
of
their
deuises
pretended
against
the
estate
,
for
the
honour
&
amitie
,
which
his
auncesters
had
alwaies
borne
to
the
house
of
Fraunce
,
would
not
harken
any
further
to
that
matter
.
That
afterward
as
the
affayres
of
the
enemies
proceeded
from
steppe
to
steppe
,
the
king
of
Nauarre
also
made
discouery
of
their
treaties
in
Italy
,
&
Spain
,
of
the
money
that
was
receiued
,
of
the
matters
by
them
propounded
in
those
partes
,
and
what
answeres
they
receyned
touching
the
same
.
Whereunto
the
King
his
maiesty
,
who
in
his
mind
could
not
conceiue
so
great
ingratitud
to
lurke
in
their
hartes
towarde
him
,
made
it
a
hard
matter
to
be
beleued
,
neuerthelesse
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
vid
expect
some
suddayne
clappe
of
this
mischiefe
from
day
to
day
,
(
as
a
ruine
throughly
perceiued
by
him
before
.
)
That
he
reme●red
the
taking
and
execution
of
Salcedo
,
who
had
confessed
a
great
part
of
those
things
which
are
well
perceyued
;
at
this
daye
,
which
then
were
endeuoured
to
be
obscured
by
craft
and
cunning
sleightes
,
But
yet
the
certenty
thereof
,
stayed
in
the
hartes
of
the
kings
true
subiectes
.
That
Mounsire
(
who
is
deceased
)
hadde
not
without
good
ground
giuen
aduertisment
thereof
to
the
King
,
that
vnlesse
Salcedo
had
been
gyltie
of
more
then
ordinarie
crymes
,
the
King
would
neuer
haue
taken
so
much
paines
,
as
to
send
two
of
the
chiefest
of
his
counsell
of
estate
into
the
lowe
countries
,
to
fetche
him
to
his
presence
.
Neyther
would
haue
been
present
at
hys
examinations
and
repetition
of
hys
depositions
&c.
Whereupon
it
followed
,
that
by
the
diff●itiue
sentence
of
the
Courte
of
Parliament
at
Paris
,
hee
was
pulled
in
peeces
with
foure
horses
,
as
a
high
traytor
to
the
king
,
and
all
the
estate
of
Fraunce
.
That
by
theyr
memorialls
,
proceedinges
,
and
theyr
assotiations
,
newely
made
in
the
most
part
of
the
good
townes
of
this
Realme
,
there
was
sufficient
euidence
giuen
,
that
theyr
colour
and
pretence
was
,
to
roote
out
that
religion
which
the
King
of
Nauarre
professeth
,
and
most
specially
so
bestroy
him
if
it
lay
in
their
power
,
in
sort
that
the
first
stroke
of
their
thunderbolt
〈◊〉
haue
lighted
first
vpon
his
heade
.
If
his
maiestie
in
the
meanespa●e
sawe
not
into
the
ende
of
their
practises
.
By
occasion
whereof
,
the
saide
king
of
Nauarre
perceiuing
the
king
his
Soueraigne
Lord
,
had
giuen
no
order
therein
,
and
foreséeing
their
pretence
,
tended
to
destroy
the
protestantes
,
was
iustly
moued
to
haue
regard
to
his
affayres
.
And
therefore
about
the
ye●re
.
M.
v.r.lxxx
.
and
thrée
,
he
dispatched
Mounsir
de
Segur
Pardillian
,
superintendent
of
his
house
,
to
the
Quéene
of
Englande
,
the
King
of
Denmarke
,
the
princes
●lectors
of
Almanie
,
the
Lantgraue
of
Hesse
,
and
other
Princes
and
estates
.
First
,
to
exhort
them
,
to
séeke
meanes
to
agrée
the
●outrouersies
in
religion
,
which
remayned
〈◊〉
the
reformed
churches
,
and
were
abused
to
their
common
destruction
.
Secondly
,
to
renewe
and
assure
a
perfect
amis●●e
with
them
:
without
desiring
or
employing
them
any
farther
.
Thirdlye
,
to
furnishe
in
Almanye
a
good
some
of
money
,
therewith
to
prou●d
(
when
néede
should
require
)
a
conueni●t
succor
against
his
mortal
enimies
.
At
the
which
Kings
,
Princes
and
estates
,
are
straighly
allied
to
the
Crowne
of
Fraunce
,
with
whom
the
King
his
Soueraigne
Lorde
hath
Ambassadores
,
with
which
Ambassadores
,
the
saide
Mounsier
de
Segur
had
expresse
charge
to
conferre
,
and
so
did
at
certaine
times
,
whom
he
tooke
for
witnesses
of
his
sayinges
&
doinges
,
of
his
propositions
,
negotiations
&
conclusions
.
And
after
his
returne
,
the
saide
King
of
Nauarre
most
humbly
besought
his
ma●estie
to
giue
commaundement
,
that
with
a●
diligence
,
information
might
be
taken
&
brought
to
his
Maiestie
of
a●
his
legation
,
being
fully
assured
,
that
therin
they
may
most
playnely
beholde
,
his
french
hart
,
sincere
affection
,
&
true
loyaltie
towarde
his
maiesties
person
and
Royall
estate
.
Wherefore
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
,
requireth
al
the
aforesaid
most
noble
kings
&
princes
,
to
giue
testimonye
to
the
King
vnder

In

And

And

then
〈◊〉
the

The

by

one

at

So

this

Certenly
it
is
to
well

that
the

Thus

from

To

to
〈◊〉
rightly
,
(
considering
what
they
haue
●re●
)
the
greater
part
of
this
kingdome
.
By
the
preni●s
,
the
King
of
Nauarre
thinketh
it
clearely
appeareth
,
whether
his
●duerferies
or
he
,
doo
most
〈◊〉
,
the
common
w●ith
of
the
poore
people
,
the
contentation
of
the
Kinges
maiestie
,
and
the
rest
and
tranquilitie
of
this
estate
,
verily
it
is
too
〈◊〉
,
that
the
ser●●t
of
the
house
woulde
be
credited
to
his
more
yeal●us
of
the
〈◊〉
of

then
the
〈◊〉
childe

That
thes●
stanngers
words
make

they
〈◊〉
or
cater
care
of
the
prefernation
of
this
estate
,
then
those
in
wh●●
that
care
is
naturally
borne
with
the
〈◊〉
.
These
stra●●●●s
(
I
saye
)
whose
greatnesse
cannot
be
〈◊〉
without
hi●uine
and
dissipation
,
who
haue
〈◊〉
no
conscience
to
publish
him
for
an
ene●ue
of
this
estate
.
Hereupon
,
the
said
Lord
the
●inge
of
Nauarre
,
prayeth
all
orders
and
〈◊〉
of
this
Realms
,
to
make
a
comparison
in
this
plare
(
although
in
truethe
they
be
matters
vncomparable
.
Of
the
deme●nours
of
his
predecessors
in
this
kingdome
,
who
from
the
father
to
the
same
,
haue
kept
this
name
,
that
they
were
neuer
authors
of
any
appression
to
the
people
,
nor
of
iniurie
to
the
nobiti●
t
is
;
with
the
〈◊〉
of
the
predecass●r●
of
the
beades
of
this
league
,
who
wi●be
founde
to
haue
erected
since
they
set
soote
in
Fraunce
,
the
sale
of
offices
,
of
iustice
,
newe
subsidies
vppon
the
poore
people
,
whose
iuice
and
substance
they
drewe
out
vnder
King
Henry
and
King
Fraunces
the
seconde
:
And
also
consusion
in
offices
and
dignities
,
which
they
first
of
all
transferred
at
their
pleasures
,
and
solde
from
one
hand
to
another
?
To
conclude
,
it
wil
be
founde
that
they
haue
encreased
Simony
in
the
Churche
,
and
brought
in
the
sale
of
the
temporalties
for
their
owne
profite
,
to
be
reuanged
vppon
their
memies
,
vnder
coulour
of
beresse
.
As
touching
his
owne
person
,
he
also
,
prayeth
all
the
estates
of
this
Realm●
,
to
remember
,
or
make
inquirie
,
what
charges
soeuer
he
had
to
beare
&
maintaine●
Whether
euer
be
were
the
cause
,
of
any
surcharge
of
the
people
:
Contrariwise
,
how
he
gouerneth
that
small
number
of
subjects
which
God
hath
giuen
vnto
him
,
who
wil
be
f●unde
not
to
haue
béen
purcharged
with
any
imposts
,
tares
,
nor
sub
〈◊〉
,
notwithstanding
,
the
great
affairs
hath
had
a
long
time
:
whether
he
euer
●mitted
any
outrage
,
in
worde
,
or
déede
,
in
●oods
,
or
person
,
to
any
gentelman
whatsoeuer
(
though
he
hath
béen
strangly
●…ded
by
many
)
for
any
maner
of
occasion
,
either
in
his
house
,
or
in
his
countries
.
Whether
for
any
rigour
that
he
receiued
at
the
hands
of
the
professors
of
the
Romish
religion
,
he
neuer
did
wrong
to
any
Prelate
,
Curate
,
Monke
,
or
any
other
of
the
Cleargie
,
Contrariwise
,
whether
they
haue
not
alwaies
béene
welcome
to
him
,
and
courteously
receiued
at
his
handes
,
〈◊〉
he
more
readie
to
forget
those
offences
which
they
had
committed
agaynst
him
,
then
others
by
whom
he
had
béen
offended
,
were
to
cease
from
renewing
their
euil
demeanour
toward
him
.
Whether
he
haue
not
alwaies
yéelded
honour
and
respecte
to
the
Soueraigne
Courtes
,
and
the
officers
of
the
same
,
and
also
to
all
others
that
beare
the
marke
of
Justice
.
And
whether
he
did
euer
either
forcibly
commit
any
violence
to
iustice
,
for
els
denyed
necessary
strength
to
iustice
,
if
it
were
in
his
power
to
aybe
her
.
And
as
touching
all
other
parties
of
this
estate
,
he
that
to
euery
of
them
hath
not
shewed
any
thing
,
sauing
honour
,
frendship
,
and
good
will
,
neither
euer
displeasured
or
desired
otherwise
then
to
pleasure
them
,
cannot
easily
be
beléeued
,
nor
iudged
for
an
enimie
of
this
estate
.
Concerning
the
estate
ingenerall
,
he
will
not
denye
,
but
that
the
Ciuill
warres
haue
brought
into
this
kingdome
,
great
confusion
in
all
thinges
,
pouertie
to
the
people
,
decaye
to
the
nobilitie
,
Ruine
to
the
Cleargie
,
Contempt
to
iustice
,
men
addicted
to
warre
,
and
aboue
all
the
rest
,
ciuill
warre
which
he
be
waileth
in
his
hart
,
and
woulde
remedie
if
possibly
he
could
,
yea
with
his
owne
proper
blood
.
But
God
is
witnesse
,
his
conscience
witnesseth
,
Fraunce
her selfe
witnesseth
,
hauing
bryght
eyes
,
and
verye
freshe
memorie
,
by
reason
she
saws
and
well
remembreth
all
the
course
of
that
time
,
whether
he
entred
into
arms
,
except
it
were
through
the
counsel
of
extreame
necessitie
,
though
long
aforehande
he
might
haue
foreséene
and
preuented
her
by
reason
.
The
assembly
of
Bloys
is
witnesse
,
stirred
vp
by
this
present
league
,
where
he
was
declared
to
be
banished
out
of
this
realms
with
all
the
professors
of
his
religion
,
except
they
chaunged
their
religion
very
quickely
.
Which
to
him
paraduenture
were
no
hard
chaunge
,
if
he
had
as
litle
religion
in
him
as
the
aduersaries
haue
,
whether
also
he
euer
delayed
the
receiuing
of
peace
,
for
any
particuler
occasion
whatsoeuer
,
(
albeit
his
degrée
is
suche
,
as
that
which
to
him
is
particular
,
might
rightly
be
iudged
for
publique
)
when
his
conscience
might
be
satisfied
,
and
could
see
that
the
professors
of
the
same
religion
which
he
professeth
,
might
serue
God
according
to
their
fayth
,
in
tranquilitie
and
quietnes
:
Whether
he
euer
demaunded
any
thing
gaynefull
to
him selfe
,
encrease
of
aucthoritie
,
encrease
of
pencions
,
or
encrease
of
offices
:
Whether
contrariwise
,
he
hath
not
rather
chosen
,
to
see
him selfe
as
he
is
,
without
aucthoritie
in
his
gouernement
which
by
the
peace
ought
to
be
al
yéelded
into
his
handes
,
then
to
prolong
the
war
neuer
so
little
,
then
by
the
space
of
so
much
as
an
houre
,
to
delaye
the
comfort
and
succour
of
the
people
,
by
the
peace
,
or
to
trouble
the
peace
after
it
was
made
,
for
default
of
enioying
that
which
was
promised
in
his
regarde
.
The
articles
of
the
last
peace
may
be
for
witnesses
,
and
the
conference
of
Flex
,
wherein
he
might
fitly
haue
serued
his
owne
turne
to
inlarge
his
conditions
,
by
reason
of
the
great
desire
which
Mounsir
that
is
deceassed
,
had
to
passe
into
the
Low
Countries
,
whether
he
was
called
by
a
generall
Ambassage
of
the
estates
of
the
countrye
,
who
most
instantly
required
and
sollicited
him
to
come
thyther
.
Yet
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
at
that
time
rather
yéelded
away
his
owne
intrrest
to
the
aduauncement
of
this
kingdome
,
then
he
would
neuer
so
little
,
differ
or
stande
to
make
merchandise
of
a
benefite
as
might
thereby
come
to
his
partie
.
Therefore
he
made
peace
,
and
accepted
it
with
suche
conditions
as
pleased
his
maiestie
to
graunte
,
to
the
intent
too
further
the
conquest
of
those
countries
,
and
to
transport
him selfe
thither
in
person
,
yf
it
might
so
stande
with
his
maiesties
fanour
and
good
liking
.
These
good
Frenchmen
the
heades
of
the
league
,
to
empeach
the
ioyning
of
Flaunders
to
Fraunce
,
when
the
Ambassadoures
of
the
Low
Countryes
offered
it
to
the
King
,
with
such
conditions
as
that
they
were
readie
to
receyue
lawe
from
his
Maiestie
,
and
admytte
into
their
townes
,
suche
Garrisons
,
and
gouernours
as
pleased
hym
:
To
the
intent
to
let
and
hinder
his
maiesty
there
from
,
doth
vexe
and
trouble
his
kingdome
,
cause
his
people
to
rise
into
mutinies
,
and
in
time
of
full
peace
begyn
to
make
warres
.
What
pacience
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
hath
vsed
in
all
that
time
,
notwithstanding
the
discontentment
that
he
might
conceiue
by
the
dealing
which
at
the
suggestion
,
of
such
as
be
like
to
the
aduersaries
,
vsed
toward
hym
,
I
leaue
it
to
the
consideration
of
all
the
worlde
,
beyng
seperated
from
the
King
,
without
aucthoritie
in
his
gouernement
,
not
payed
of
that
whiche
was
due
vnto
him
,
and
much
lesse
respected
in
his
affayres
,
then
the
least
Captayne
of
the
kingdome
.
Be
it
spoken
without
reproche
.
And
to
vtter
the
plaine
truthe
of
his
demeanours
.
If
he
had
béen
no
more
touched
with
the
féelyng
and
consideration
of
the
griefe
and
detryment
of
the
people
,
and
of
all
Fraunce
,
then
they
of
the
league
bee
at
thys
day
,
béeing
that
partye
which
hee
is
:
both
people
and
Country
myght
haue
fallen
into
vtter
destruction
.
But
hee
is
a
Frenchman
,
and
a
French
Prince
,
a
number
of
Fraunce
,
and
féeleth
her
gréeses
and
woundes
.
Diminishing
of
authority
,
want
of
fauour
,
particular
interest
,
hadde
neuer
the
power
to
make
hym
rage
and
spight
agaynst
hymselfe
,
whyth
is
a
thing
proper
to
the
Leaguers
,
who
are
but
lightly
grasted
in
Fraunce
,
and
are
lyke
to
wodden
legges
,
and
tymber
Armes
,
that
féele
nothing
when
the
body
is
burned
.
To
which
kinde
of
men
,
may
bee
easily
gyuen
the
outward
parte
,
but
not
the
inwarde
affection
,
neyther
the
moouing
or
féeling
of
a
true
and
naturall
Frenchman
.
Touching
these
broyles
and
commotions
,
whych
they
declare
and
protest
to
bee
directly
against
him
,
bending
themselues
agaynst
hys
person
,
his
lyse
,
hys
honour
,
hys
conscience
,
séeing
them
armed
,
and
and
taking
Townes
in
the
myddest
of
hys
Gouernment
,
béeing
on
euery
side
compassed
and
encombred
by
them
,
his
pacience
incessantly
styrred
and
moued
:
●f
he
had
not
respected
the
King
more
then
his
owne
pryuate
daunger
,
if
he
had
not
earnestly
desired
the
welfare
of
this
Realme
,
with
hope
of
a
publique
peace
(
if
he
may
haue
any
peace
at
these
mens
handes
)
yea
and
that
more
then
his
owne
preseruation
,
is
there
any
likelyhoode
,
or
was
there
any
reason
,
he
shoulde
holde
hym selfe
content
as
he
hath
done
:
But
all
is
well
,
so
the
people
be
at
quiet
,
he
lyketh
all
well
,
so
the
estate
remayne
in
peace
,
the
King
obeyed
,
the
King
honoured
as
he
ought
to
be
,
yea
though
it
were
to
his
owne
euident
peryll
with
his
losse
vnrecouerable
.
Here
is
the
whole
somme
of
al
things
,
whereby
the
Kyng
of
Nauarre
canne
be
blamed
with
these
fayre
tyrles
of
heretique
,
Relaps
,
persecutor
of
the
Church
,
enemie
of
the
Catholiques
,
and
disturber
of
this
estate
.
As
touching
the
conclusion
which
they
drawe
from
thence
,
whereby
they
declare
him
vncapable
to
succéede
in
the
kingdome
,
and
haue
caused
my
Lorde
the
Cardinall
of
Bourbon
his
Vnckle
,
to
take
vpon
him
the
name
of
the
first
Prince
of
the
blood
and
Heire
apparent
.
This
certainly
is
the
poynt
that
most
of
all
others
sticketh
in
theyr
harts
,
wherevpon
the
sayd
King
of
Nauarre
,
hath
hetherto
thought
least
,
and
nowe
last
of
all
it
is
presented
to
him
.
Touching
this
:
point
,
the
said
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
contenteth
himselfe
,
in
hope
that
God
will
long
preserue
life
to
the
Kings
Maiestie
,
for
the
benefit
and
common
wealth
of
thys
Realme
,
and
graunt
him
issue
in
due
time
;
to
the
great
gréefe
of
all
his
enemies
.
Hys
confidence
also
is
,
that
hee
hath
to
doo
with
Frenchmen
,
notwythstanding
,
al
the
care
and
dilligence
that
hath
béene
vsed
to
corrupt
them
,
who
know
the
rights
,
are
not
ignoraunt
of
the
discentos
,
and
will
maintaine
him
in
the
place
and
degrée
which
he
ought
to
hold
.
He
comforteth
himselfe
in
God
,
the
defender
of
all
right
,
the
reuenger
of
all
violence
,
who
●eth
both
parties
,
whose
most
righteous
iudgment
is
not
like
to
to
corporal
mens
,
whose
most
diffinitiue
sentence
is
certaine
,
and
the
execution
therof
inuariable
,
in
sort
,
that
nothing
is
of
power
to
resist
the
same
.
For
conclusion
,
and
as
concerning
religion
,
the
said
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
declareth
to
the
King
hys
soueraigne
Lorde
,
to
all
orders
and
estates
of
thys
Realme
,
and
to
all
Princes
and
estates
of
thys
Realme
,
and
to
all
Princes
and
estates
of
Christendome
,
as
well
temporall
,
as
ecclesiasticall
,
that
he
is
,
and
euer
wyll
be
most
ready
,
to
submit
hymselfe
to
the
determination
of
a
lawful
,
Generall
or
naturall
counsell
,
as
is
expressed
in
hys
Maiesties
edict
of
pacification
.
And
as
concerning
this
estate
&
the
administration
of
the
same
,
that
he
most
wyllingly
dooth
and
wyll
embrace
and
repose
hymself
vpon
,
whatsoeuer
in
that
behalfe
shal
be
ordayned
in
a
lawfull
assembly
of
the
estates
of
thys
Realme
,
when
it
shall
please
hys
Maiestye
to
call
the
same
together
.
In
the
meane
space
,
the
onely
request
and
petition
of
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
is
nothing
els
,
but
that
be
may
liue
quietly
vnder
the
benefite
of
the
edicts
.
Béeing
ready
to
employ
hys
lyfe
,
his
meanes
,
lands
and
goods
,
and
all
hys
fréends
,
for
the
defence
of
the
King
,
of
hys
Maiesties
estate
,
and
all
the
good
subiects
of
thys
Realme
.
And
forasmuch
as
they
of
the
said
league
haue
taken
the
said
King
of
Nauarre
,
for
the
matter
&
pretence
of
theyr
rysing
in
Armes
,
I
would
haue
all
men
think
,
that
their
quarrell
is
onely
against
him
,
&
no
man
els
,
sowing
diuers
slaunders
abroad
against
him
,
in
their
saide
protestations
,
wherin
by
expresse
name
,
they
publishe
him
to
he
desirous
of
the
kings
death
,
a
disturber
of
the
estate
,
&
sworn
enemy
of
the
Catholiques
,
&c.
Duer
and
aboue
all
the
premisses
,
which
he
thinketh
sufficient
to
satisfy
euery
man
,
the
K.
of
Nauarre
with
al
reuerence
,
most
humbly
beséecheth
the
K.
his
soueraigne
L.
(
to
whose
eares
he
doubteth
not
but
these
slanders
are
come
)
not
to
take
in
euil
part
(
sauing
alwaies
the
honor
&
respect
due
to
his
M.
)
that
he
affyrme
and
pronounce
in
this
place
,
in
that
maner
and
sorte
which
presently
he
he
doth
:
to
wit
,
that
all
they
which
haue
sowen
abroade
and
published
the
saide
flaunders
,
contained
in
the
said
protestations
against
,
him
haue
falsly
and
slanderously
lyed
,
excepting
the
saide
Lorde
Cardinall
his
Vncle
.
And
further
,
to
giue
their
slaunders
the
lye
,
by
his
acttons
,
the
said
Lord
the
R.
of
Nauarre
,
most
humbly
beséecheth
the
King
his
soueraigne
L.
to
vouchsafe
the
good
liking
of
his
most
humble
fidelitie
and
deuotion
,
in
this
offer
which
hee
hath
thought
good
here
to
make
to
his
Maicstie
,
to
witte
,
that
for
the
quietnes
and
ease
of
his
Maiestye
and
people
,
it
would
please
him
;
wyth
good
liking
to
decyde
thys
quarrell
betwéene
them
of
the
sayd
league
,
and
hym
the
sayde
King
of
Nauarre
,
wythout
hazarding
his
Maiesties
life
therein
,
which
would
be
too
greate
a
losse
in
thys
kingdome
:
and
without
any
further
paynes
to
be
taken
by
his
M.
about
the
same
.
Hoping
that
God
wyll
gyue
him
grace
,
to
find
sufficient
fréends
,
and
allyes
of
hys
crowne
,
to
bring
them
to
reason
,
&
to
driue
them
to
acknowledge
theyr
most
bounden
duetye
,
which
they
owe
to
the
saide
Lord
the
king
hys
soueraigne
,
and
the
respect
and
honour
that
vnder
hys
M.
ought
to
appertaine
to
the
sayd
king
of
Nauarre
.
But
specially
for
that
he
can
not
without
sighing
and
shedding
of
teares
,
think
vppon
the
great
spoyling
of
the
Nobileties
blood
,
which
may
procéede
of
thys
warre
:
nor
vpon
the
extreame
pouertye
and
desolation
,
which
the
poore
people
of
thys
Realme
shall
bee
driuen
to
suffer
,
neyther
vpon
the
disorder
and
confusion
which
thereby
will
bee
brought
into
all
estates
,
in
stéede
of
the
great
piety
,
mereye
,
and
wysedome
of
hys
Maiestie
,
in
preparing
,
(
if
this
commotion
hadde
not
happened
)
as
all
men
knowe
to
establish
thys
estate
agayne
,
in
her
former
beautye
,
prosperity
,
dignity
,
and
integrity
in
all
resperts
:
and
aboue
all
the
rest
,
hee
can
not
without
sighing
and
great
anguish
of
mynde
,
thinke
on
the
execrable
blasphemies
which
war
bringeth
foorth
against
God
,
and
the
ouerflowing
of
vices
which
growe
through
the
licence
and
liberty
of
the
Armies
.
To
shorten
these
mi
series
,
which
the
sayd
L.
the
King
of
Nauarre
would
willingly
redéeme
with
hys
proper
bloode
,
he
most
humbly
and
with
all
duetifull
affection
,
beséecheth
hys
Maiesty
,
not
to
thinke
straunge
of
the
offer
which
presently
hee
maketh
to
Mounsir
de
Guyse
,
séeing
the
aduersaryes
haue
taken
him
the
sayd
king
of
Nauarre
,
for
party
in
theyr
pretence
,
and
the
sayde
Lorde
of
Guyse
commaundeth
in
theyr
Armies
,
to
wyt
,
that
thys
quarrell
(
as
well
wythout
puttyng
all
the
orders
and

of
thys
kyngdome
to
any
further
dammage
,
molestation
or
trouble
;
as
also
wythout
leuying
or
bringing
in
any
domesticall
or
forrayne
Army
,
touching
the
same
,
which
coulde
not
choose
but
be
the
destruction
of
all
poore
people
)
may
be
decyded
and
determined
,
betwéene
the
sayd
king
of
Nauarre
and
the
sayd
Monsir
de
Guyse
,
by
way
of
Combat
in
their
owne
proper
persons
,
either
one
against
one
,
two
against
two
,
ten
to
ten
,
or
twenty
to
twenty
,
more
or
lesse
,
in
such
number
as
the
saide
L.
of
Guyse
will
appoint
,
with
such
kind
of
Armour
&
weapons
as
are
accustomed
to
bee
vsed
amongst
Knights
of
honor
.
And
concerning
the
place
,
if
be
desire
it
within
this
kingdome
,
the
said
K.
of
Nauarre
most
humbly
be●cheth
his
M.
to
vouchsafe
him
the
honor
to
naminate
the
same
.
Or
in
case
Mounsier
de
Guyse
shall
suspect
this
Realme
,
then
the
King
of
Nauarre
offereth
him
,
to
bee
readye
in
such
other
place
out
of
this
Realme
,
as
he
the
said
L.
of
Guyse
shall
choose
,
so
it
be
a
place
of
sure
accesse
,
suspected
to
neither
party
.
An
honor
certainely
,
considering
the
difference
and
in
equality
of
their
persons
and
degrées
(
being
such
as
all
men
know
)
that
the
sayde
L.
of
Guyse
ought
by
all
meanes
to
embrace
and
purchase
:
a
felicity
also
,
which
the
said
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
my
Lorde
the
Prince
hys
Cozin
,
wyll
most
wyllingly
buy
with
theyre
owne
bloods
,
to
redaeme
the
King
theyr
soueraigne
Lord
,
from
the
vocation
&
〈◊〉
,
which
the
aduersaryes
moste
distoyally
put
hym
to
,
hys
estate
from
trouble
and
confusion
,
his
Nobility
from
destruction
,
and
all
his
people
from
extreame
misery
and
calamity
.
The
sayde
Lord
the
King
of
Nauarre
protesting
before
God
,
and
in
hys
conscience
,
that
he
is
not
mooued
to
choose
thys
way
,
through
any
ambition
raigning
in
hym
,
nor
by
any
hatred
that
he
beareth
to
hys
enimies
,
nor
for
any
reuenge
that
he
wysheth
toward
them
,
nor
yet
in
regarde
of
that
spightfull
and
malicious
spoile
and
destruction
,
which
they
would
tryumphe
and
reioyce
to
see
executed
vppon
hym
.
But
contrariwyse
,
hys
resolution
to
take
the
fortune
of
the
Combat
,
procéedeth
as
well
from
the
great
zeale
&
feruent
desire
which
hée
hath
to

God
true
ly
serued
and
honoured
,
hys
Kyng

from
vexation
and
trouble
,
hys

in

,
and
the

at
reste
and
quietnesse
,
as
also
from
the
great
displeasure
,
annoyaunce
and
woe
,
(
whych
euery
moment
he
setteth
before
his
mynde
)
not
onelie
to
see
God
blasphemed
againe
in
thys
estate
,
béeing
in
the
waues
and
perills
of

:
but
also
to

caste
againe
into
the
extreamytye

paste

whereinto
(
yf
they

)
skant
can
any

them
from

Fynally
the
