THE
KINGS
EDICT
AND
DECLARATION
VPON
THE
FORMER
EDICTS
OF
PACIFICATION
.
HEnrie
by
the
grace
of
God
,
king
of
Fraunce
and
Nauarre
,
to
all
that
are
present
and
to
come
,
greeting
.
Amongst
the
infinit
benefits
which
it
hath
pleased
God
to
bestow
vpon
vs
,
this
may
well
be
accounted
and
esteemed
as
one
of
the
most
rare
and
notable
,
namely
that
it
hath
pleased
him
to
giue
vs
the
grace
and
power
to
vndergo
and
beare
out
the
hideous
and
dreadfull
monster
of
troubles
,
confusions
,
and
disorders
,
which
were
rife
and
ouerflowed
this
whole
Realme
at
our
comming
to
the
Crowne
,
as
being
then
deuided
into
so
many
parties
and
factions
,
and
that
in
such
sort
,
as
that
the
most
loyall
and
naturall
part
,
was
in
a
maner
the
least
:
and
withall
in
such
sort
to
haue
opposed
and
strengthened
vs
against
such
boystrous
blasts
of
stormie
tempests
,
as
that
we
haue
in
the
end
ouerrid
and
ouercome
them
,
arriuing
at
the
length
in
the
hauen
of
the
safe
deliuerance
and
peaceable
quietnes
of
this
estate
.
Of
all
which
let
God
haue
the
whole
and
onely
praise
and
glorie
,
and
we
so
stirred
vp
,
prouoked
,
and
bound
to
him
thereby
,
as
that
we
may
neuer
surcease
or
giue
ouer
the
offering
vp
of
our self
,
in
all
the
best
maner
of
seruice
we
can
,
for
the
perfecting
&
ful
accomplishing
of
this
worthie
worke
:
wherin
his
hand
and
power
hath
bene
most
clearely
and
manifestly
,
shewing
it selfe
vnto
the
sight
of
all
men
,
giuing
vs
to
beare
and
vndergo
,
not
onely
so
much
as
our
place
and
abilitie
did
require
,
but
much
more
and
farre
aboue
the
same
;
and
that
in
such
sort
and
measure
,
as
(
our
dignitie
considered
)
in
any
other
time
would
haue
bene
verie
vnmeete
and
inconuenient
:
as
neuer
fearing
to
hazard
therein
our
princely
renowne
,
by
the
free
exposing
of
our
limmes
and
life
so
oft
vnto
so
many
dangerous
occurrences
accompanying
the
same
.
But
now
whereas
we
haue
found
it
vnpossible
to
settle
and
bring
into
good
order
so
confused
a
heape
and
multitude
of
so
great
,
so
weightie
,
and
so
dangerous
affaires
and
businesses
at
once
,
and
at
one
time
:
we
haue
thought
good
to
take
this
course
,
namely
to
attempt
in
the
first
place
,
such
things
as
could
not
but
by
force
&
might
be
atchieued
,
reseruing
for
a
better
time
the
other
,
which
ought
and
might
be
determined
by
reason
and
course
of
iustice
.
As
(
for
example
)
the
generall
quarrels
that
then
raigned
amongst
our
good
subiects
,
and
the
particular
mischiefs
and
iniuries
lying
vpon
the
soundest
and
most
trusty
parties
of
our
kingdome
,
all
which
we
iudged
much
more
easie
to
be
redressed
and
cured
,
when
the
ciuill
warres
(
the
originall
&
cause
of
continuance
of
the
same
)
should
be
cut
off
and
taken
away
.
Now
we
hauing
(
by
Gods
assisting
hand
)
wel
and
prosperouslie
preuayled
herein
,
to
the
vtter
extirpation
of
warres
and
all
maner
of
hostility
out
of
all
the
corners
and
quarters
of
our
realme
,
we
hope
with
as
good
successe
to
compose
and
set
in
order
the
matters
as
yet
out
of
square
and
order
,
that
so
we
may
attaine
the
full
establishment
of
a
firme
peace
and
setled
quietnesse
,
which
hath
alwaies
bene
the
scope
and
drift
of
all
our
desires
and
resolutions
;
and
the
price
we
aymed
at
in
al
the
paines
and
trauels
which
we
haue
vndertaken
throughout
the
whole
course
of
our
life
.
Now
amongst
the
affaires
and
matters
with
patience
and
continuance
of
time
to
be
remedied
(
&
that
one
of
the
chiefest
and
most
principall
thereof
)
were
the
complaints
,
which
we
receiued
from
many
of
our
prouinces
and
Catholike
townes
,
for
that
the
exercises
of
the
Catholike
religion
,
were
not
generally
again
established
,
according
to
the
Edicts
heretofore
made
for
the
pacifying
of
the
troubles
,
which
had
risen
and
sprong
from
the
cause
of
Religion
.
As
also
the
supplications
and
admonitions
offred
vnto
vs
by
them
of
the
pretended
reformed
religion
,
as
well
concerning
the
default
&
lacke
of
due
execution
done
of
that
which
hath
bene
granted
vnto
them
by
vertue
of
the
aforesaid
Edicts
,
as
also
for
that
they
desired
,
that
there
might
furthermore
be
added
vnto
the
said
Edicts
,
the
establishment
of
the
exercises
of
their
said
Religion
,
the
liberty
of
their
consciences
,
&
the
safty
and
securitie
of
their
persons
and
goods
,
presuming
that
they
had
iust
matter
to
draw
them
to
the
entertaining
of
some
new
and
great
conceits
,
by
reason
of
the
last
troubles
and
disturbances
,
alleaging
that
the
principall
drift
and
occasion
thereof
,
was
plotted
and
layed
to
entrap
and
wholy
to
ouertread
them
.
Which
things
(
that
we
might
not
ouercharge
our selfe
with
multitudes
of
businesses
at
one
time
,
as
also
in
asmuch
as
the
raging
heat
of
warres
did
gainsay
and
hold
out
all
establishment
of
lawes
,
(
how
good
,
wholsome
,
and
necessarie
soeuer
they
might
haue
bene
)
we
haue
still
deferred
from
time
to
time
to
prouide
for
.
But
now
,
seeing
it
pleaseth
God
to
giue
vs
to
inioy
some
better
quietnesse
and
rest
,
we
haue
iudged
that
the
same
cannot
better
be
imployed
,
then
to
make
it
our
leisure
and
liberty
,
to
respect
and
take
in
hand
the
things
concerning
his
glorie
and
holie
worship
,
and
to
prouide
that
he
may
be
honoured
and
serued
of
all
our
subiects
:
and
that
(
though
it
please
him
not
to
haue
it
after
one
maner
of
forme
,
and
in
one
kind
of
religion
,
it
may
be
at
the
least
to
one
and
the
same
intention
,
and
with
such
a
cariage
,
as
may
be
free
from
all
maner
of
troubles
and
tumults
that
otherwise
would
rise
amongst
them
;
and
that
we
and
this
our
Realme
may
euermore
deserue
and
conserue
the
glorious
title
of
Most
Christian
,
which
hath
so
long
since
for
so
manifold
our
merits
&
deserts
bene
purchased
and
obtained
;
and
by
the
same
meanes
take
away
the
cause
of
mischiefe
and
trouble
,
which
may
rise
vpon
the
matter
of
religion
,
as
being
the
thing
that
alwayes
moueth
the
heart
and
eyes
more
then
all
other
things
besides
.
For
this
cause
we
(
hauing
considered
the
waightinesse
of
the
matter
,
and
that
it
deserueth
with
all
carefulnesse
to
be
looked
into
,
and
hauing
againe
receiued
the
humble
requests
and
supplications
of
our
Catholike
subiects
,
as
also
hauing
permitted
our
said
subiects
of
the
pretended
reformed
Religion
,
to
assemble
together
by
their
Deputies
to
make
theirs
ready
,
and
to
inclose
together
and
shut
vp
in
one
,
what
they
haue
to
say
or
alleage
for
themselues
,
and
about
the
same
matter
to
conferre
with
them
diuerse
times
;
and
hauing
further
perused
the
said
former
Edicts
throughly
)
haue
thought
it
meet
to
frame
a
generall
,
plaine
,
vpright
or
indifferent
and
absolute
law
concerning
the
whole
matter
,
in
the
behalfe
of
all
our
subiects
,
that
by
it
they
may
be
ruled
in
such
controuersies
,
as
heretofore
haue
risen
amongst
them
hereby
,
or
which
hereafter
might
rise
amongst
them
,
and
whereby
both
the
one
and
the
other
may
find
matter
to
content
themselues
withall
,
as
far
forth
as
the
time
(
considered
as
it
is
)
will
beare
.
And
this
our
resolution
and
mature
deliberation
,
we
haue
vndertaken
nothing
at
all
in
respect
of
our selfe
,
but
in
respect
onely
of
the
zeale
which
we
haue
for
to
see
God
serued
:
and
that
it
may
from
henceforth
make
,
procure
,
and
establish
amongst
our
subiects
a
sound
and
lasting
peace
.
For
the
which
we
beseech
and
still
waite
vpon
his
diuine
Maiestie
,
crauing
and
expecting
the
like
protection
and
fauour
,
which
he
hath
continually
in
most
cleare
and
manifest
sort
vouchsafed
this
Realme
,
from
since
the
time
it
first
was
,
and
throughout
all
that
long
tract
of
time
that
it
hath
continued
:
&
that
it
wold
likewise
please
his
Maiestie
to
shew
our
subiects
such
fauor
and
grace
,
as
that
they
may
learne
to
vnderstand
,
that
in
the
obseruing
of
this
our
ordinance
,
consisteth
(
next
to
that
which
they
owe
to
God
and
to
vs
)
the
principal
foundation
of
their
vnitie
and
concord
,
tranquility
and
rest
,
and
of
the
entire
reestablishing
of
this
estate
in
his
former
glorie
,
wealth
,
and
mightinesse
.
And
as
for
our selfe
,
we
promise
to
cause
it
to
be
exactly
obserued
,
without
tollerating
or
bearing
with
any
maner
of
encounter
or
resistance
.
For
these
causes
hauing
(
with
the
aduise
of
the
Princes
of
our
bloud
,
&
other
Princes
&
officers
vnto
the
Crowne
,
and
other
great
&
notable
personages
of
our
Counsell
of
Estate
,
being
about
vs
)
well
and
diligently
weighed
and
considered
all
the
whole
matter
,
we
haue
by
this
our
perpetuall
and
irreuocable
Decree
pronounced
,
declared
,
&
ordained
,
do
pronounce
,
declare
,
and
ordaine
:
I.
First
,
that
the
remembrance
of
all
things
passed
of
the
one
part
and
of
the
other
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
moneth
of
March
in
the
yeare
1585.
vnto
our
comming
to
the
Crowne
,
and
during
the
other
troubles
going
before
,
and
by
the
occasion
of
them
,
shal
remaine
for
dead
and
buried
,
and
as
things
that
neuer
were
.
And
it
shall
not
be
lawfull
or
permitted
vnto
any
of
our
Atturneyes
generall
,
or
any
other
persons
whatsoeuer
,
publike
or
priuate
,
at
any
time
,
vpon
any
occasion
that
may
happen
,
to
make
mention
therof
,
or
to
implead
or
accuse
any
for
the
same
in
any
of
our
Courts
or
iurisdictions
whatsoeuer
.
II.
We
forbid
likewise
all
our
subiects
,
of
what
condition
or
quality
soeuer
they
be
,
to
renew
the
remembrance
aforesaid
,
by
multiplying
of
words
,
by
stomacking
,
wronging
,
or
prouoking
of
one
another
,
with
the
reproch
of
anie
thing
that
is
past
,
vpon
anie
cause
,
pretext
,
or
colour
whatsoeuer
,
in
disputations
,
protestations
,
or
any
maner
of
quarels
,
neither
yet
to
miscall
or
offend
by
word
one
another
,
about
anie
word
or
deed
before
past
:
but
to
containe
themselues
and
to
liue
peacebly
together
as
brethren
,
friends
,
and
fellow
citizens
,
vpon
paine
for
offending
herein
,
to
be
punished
as
breakers
of
the
peace
,
and
disturbers
of
the
publike
quietnesse
.
III.
We
ordaine
,
that
the
Catholike
,
Apostolike
,
Romane
Religion
shall
be
restored
and
established
againe
in
all
the
places
of
this
our
Realme
&
countries
vnder
our
iurisdiction
,
where
the
exercise
of
the
same
hath
bene
neglected
,
there
to
be
freely
and
peacebly
exercised
without
any
maner
of
molestation
or
impeachment
.
Forbidding
most
expresly
all
maner
of
persons
of
what
estate
,
quality
,
or
condition
soeuer
they
be
,
vpon
the
penaltie
aboue
named
,
to
trouble
,
molest
,
or
disquiet
the
Priests
in
the
celebration
of
the
diuine
seruice
,
or
of
the
enioying
and
reaping
of
their
tenths
,
fruits
,
and
reuenues
of
their
benefices
,
and
all
other
rights
and
duties
belonging
vnto
them
:
and
that
all
those
which
in
the
time
of
the
troubles
haue
bene
taken
away
,
as
Churches
,
houses
,
goods
,
or
reuenues
,
belonging
to
the
said
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
and
that
those
which
do
withhold
and
occupie
the
same
,
do
surrender
the
whole
possession
and
peaceable
fruition
in
such
rights
,
liberties
,
and
assurances
as
they
had
them
before
that
they
were
disseized
of
the
same
.
In
most
plaine
tearmes
also
forbidding
those
of
the
said
pretended
reformed
Religion
,
to

any
Sermons
,
or
other
exercise
of
their
said
Religion
in
the
Churches
,
houses
,
and
habitations
of
the
said
Ecclesiasticall
persons
.
IIII.
It
shall
be
in
the
choyce
of
the
sayd
Ecclesiastical
persons
,
to
buy
the
houses
and
buildings
erected
in
places
prophaned
by
them
which
occupied
them
during
the
time
of
the
troubles
,
or
else
to
constraine
the
possessers
&
owners
of
the
said
buildings
to
buy
the
grounds
,
&
in
both
cases
estimation
to
be
made
by
such
as
are
wise
and
skilfull
therin
:
in
such
sort
,
as
that
the
parties
may
agree
and
conclude
together
:
&
if
they
cannot
be
brought
to
agreement
amongst
themselues
,
then
the
Iudges
of
those
places
shal

whole
matter
;

aide
and
helpe
alwayes
reserued
vnto
them
,
against
such

it
may
concerne
or

.
And
in
case
where
the
said
Ecclesiasticall
persons
shall
compell
those
in
possession
to
buy
the
ground
,
they
(
the
said
Ecclesiasticall
persons
)
shall
not
receiue
the
price
of
the
valuation
,
but
it
shall
remaine
in
the
hands
of
the
possessed
,
and
they
still
stand
answerable
for
the
same
,
and
for
the
profite
for
the
same
,
after
the
rate
of
a
pennie
in
twenty
,
vntill
such
time
as
the
same
shall
be
imployed
for
the
profite
of
the
Church
:
and
this
likewise
to
be
procured
within
the
space
of
a
yeare
.
And
if
it
happen
that
the
same
time
be
expired
,
and
the
money
not
imployed
,
and
that
the
occupier
of
the
same
will
not
keepe
it
any
longer
at
the
said
rent
,
he
shall
be
discharged
thereof
in
paying
the
same
ouer
to
anie
man
that
is
able
to
pay
the
principall
and
the
rent
,
hauing
authority
from
a
Iustice
,
and
warrant
for
that
which
he
shall
do
therein
.
And
as
concerning
the
holy
places
,
there
shall
order
be
taken
for
them
,
by
the
Commissioners
which
shal
be
by
vs
ordained
and
appointed
for
the
executing
of
this
present
Edict
,
hauing
bene
before
by
vs
instructed
what
to
do
in
this
point
.
V.
And
yet
notwithstanding
the
grounds
and
places
occupied
and
imploied
about
the
repairing
and
fortifying
of
the
townes
and
other
places
of
our
Realme
,
as
also
the
matter
imploied
that
way
,
shall
not
be
to
be
chalenged
or
redemanded
by
such
Ecclesiasticall
persons
,
or
else
any
other
either
publique
or
priuate
,
except
at
such
times
as
the
sayd
reparations
and
fortifications
shall
be
pulled
downe
by
our
appointment
and
ordinance
.
VI.
And
to
the
end
that
there
may
not
be
left
any
occasion
of
iarre
or
trouble
amongst
our
subiects
,
we
haue
permitted
and
doe
permit
those
of
the
sayd
pretended
reformed
religion
,
to
liue
and
dwell
in
all
the
townes
and
places
of
this
our
Realme
,
and

To

that
the

be
so

the
better
and
more
firmely
knit
together
,
as
our
purpose
is
,
and
to
take
away
all
discontentments
that
may
ensue
:
We
declare
all

which

shall
make
profession
of
the

capable
of
holding

notwithstanding
all
such
oaths
as

passed
to
the
contrary
,
and
to

indifferently
admitted
and
receiued
there
into
.
And
as
for
our
Courts
of
Parliament
and
other
Iudges
,
it
shall
be
sufficient
for
them
to
informe
&
enquire
of
the
liues
,
maners
,
religion
and
honest
conuersation
of
them
which
are

be
inuested

,
as
well
of
the
one
religion

as
of

,
without
taking
of

any

oath
,
then
of

seruing
the

in

executing
of
their
charges
,
and
keeping

And

as

therein
be
held
indifferent
for

to
appoint
thereunto
anie

as
capable
thereof
without

,
as
being
a
thing
so
greatly
making
for
the
firmer
vniting
of
our
subiects
.
We
mean
likewise
that
those
of
the
said
pretended

may
be
admitted

receiued
into
all

of
counsels

concerning

it
being
no
barre

to
keepe
them

because

And
such
Churchyards

now
depriued
of

,
that
at

XXIX

that
such
diligence

there
may
not

without
any
further
detracting
of

,
vpon
paine
of

fiue
hundred
Crownes

to

recouerd
of

It

we

whereby
