THE
LIFE
OF
Iasper
Colignie
Shatilion
,
sometime
great
Admirall
of
FRAVNCE
.
IN
THE
borders
of
Bresse
not
farre
from
Burgundie
,
there
is
a
Towne
of
greate
antiquitie
called
Colonie
,
with
a
castle
adioyning
thereto
,
sometime
of
verie
greate
strengthe
,
in
respect
whereof
,
in
the
time
of
our
forefathers
,
it
was
called
in
the
vulgar
tongue
,
the
fortresse
,
that
is
to
say
the
bulwarke
or
defence
of
all
the
countrey
about
it
.
The
Lordes
of
that
towne
and
castle
,
were
after
the
accustomed
maner
of
their
auncetors
,
called
the
Lords
of
Colonie
,
but
afterward
the
name
was
corrupted
among
the
Frenchmen
,
&
they
were
called
the
Lordes
of
Colignie
.
It
is
an
old
opinion
among
the
inhabiters
there
,
and
it
disagreeth
not
with
Caesars
writings
,
that
it
is
the
same
place
wherein
Caesar
at
his
arriuall
with
his
armie
in
Fraunce
,
heard
the
Ambassadors
of
the
Burgonions
&
Niuernoys
complayning
of
the
Switzers
for
comming
into
Fraunce
with
an
armie
,
and
for
wastinge
their
countrey
.
For
the
next
hill
retayneth
the
name
of
Iulius
,
and
is
called
Iules
mount
vnto
this
day
,
and
the
towne
hard
by
it
is
named
Cesaree
.
This
is
certeine
,
that
the
Lordes
of
Colignie
had
verie
greate
lands
and
possessions
in
old
time
in
that
countrie
,
&
that
the
Townes
of
Naūtua
and
Mouluet
and
all
the
territories
of
those
Cities
were
vnder
their
iurisdiction
.
Whereof
manie
other
things
are
a
record
,
&
specially
the
standard
of
measures
,
which
beare
the
name
of
Colignie
measures
,
euen
vnto
this
day
,
in
the
Townes
,
villages
and
manors
thereabouts
,
and
are
receaued
from
that
Colignie
by
the
inhabitants
of
those
partes
,
The
armes
or
cognisance
of
the
howse
of
Colignie
,
which
they
giue
after
the
auncient
maner
of
noble
and
worshipfull
families
,
is
a
crowned
Eagle
:
and
it
is
certeine
that
that
howse
had
the
right
of
souereintie
,
(
which
after
the
custome
of
antiquitie
is
called
Royalties
)
so
as
they
had
power
of
life
and
death
ouer
the
folke
of
their
seniorie
,
with
authority
to
pardon
such
as
were
condemned
to
die
,
and
to
coyne
money
stamped
with
the
marke
of
the
crowned
Eagle
,
and
to
rayze
taxes
and
subsidies
vpon
their
tenaunts
and
fermors
when
neede
required
.
Therfore
according
to
their
so
great
abilitie
,
they
fownded
a
greate
nomber
of
Religious
howses
whome
they
indewed
with
verie
greate
reuenewes
:
among
which
was
the
Abbey
of
Marent
,
situate
in
the
Earldome
of
Awssone
:
the
Abbeys
of
Momerline
and
Shelliom
in
the
Countrie
of
Bresse
:
and
Colignie
in
Burgundie
,
all
which
they
indewed
with
like
priuiledges
and
fraunchizes
,
as
the
house
of
Colignie
it self
had
:
&
so
did
they
also
to
diuers
townes
,
as
Treffort
,
Iasseron
,
S.
German
,
Damberie
,
Amburney
,
&
Pounsignie
whose
inhabiters
hold
still
the
right
giuen
to
them
by
the
Lordes
of
Colignie
,
euen
vnto
this
day
.
In
the
Abbey
of
Marent
are
certeine
auncient
Registers
that
make
mencion
of
Hubberd
of
Colignie
,
who
in
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
a
thousand
a
hundred
and
sixandfortie
,
accompanying
the
Emperour
Conrade
the
thirde
then
going
with
a
greate
armie
into
the
East
to
recouer
Ierusalem
,
came
home
again
for
certaine
causes
,
and
preparing
himselfe
soone
after
to
returne
thither
,
caried
with
him
fiue
Sonnes
,
Gwirik
,
William
,
Hubberd
,
Gwy
,
Dalmace
,
and
Bernard
.
By
the
same
Registers
and
by
the
wrytings
and
Registers
of
other
Abbeyes
,
it
appeareth
that
Gwirik
had
a
Sonne
called
Hubberd
which
was
Lord
of
Colignie
and
Andelot
,
who
had
issue
Amedey
,
the
father
of
Steuen
,
who
had
issue
Iohn
,
and
he
another
Steuen
,
,
and
he
another
Iohn
,
of
whome
came
Iames
,
and
of
him
William
which
obteyned
the
Baronie
comonly
called
Mount
S.
Iohnes
in
Burgundie
,
and
was
Lord
of
the
towne
and
castle
of
Shatilion
in
Fraunce
,
which
towne
standeth
vppon
the
riuer
of
Loyng
.
Of
this
William
descended
Iohn
,
and
of
Iohn
,
Iasper
the
father
of
this
our
Iasper
.
For
this
pedegre
of
that
noble
and
renowmed
howse
conteyninge
welneare
fiue
hundred
yeeres
,
is
kept
safe
in
Registers
,
and
in
the
wrytings
of
the
same
familie
.
Iasper
the
father
of
this
our
Iasper
florished
vnder
Kinge
Frauncis
the
first
,
and
had
to
wife
Loys
Memorancie
,
the
sister
of
Annas
Memorancie
high
Cunstable
of
Fraunce
:
and
because
he
had
a
howse
in
the
Castle
that
standeth
by
the
Towne
of
Shatilion
he
was
called
the
Lord
Shatilion
,
by
meanes
whereof
the
same
syrname
is
conueyed
to
his
children
and
posteritie
.
Of
this
mans
prowesse
,
Martine
Bellay
a
valiant
gentleman
which
wrate
the
french
stories
of
his
time
,
giueth
a
notable
testimonie
.
For
in
the
second
booke
of
his
commentaries
,
he
writeth
in
maner
to
this
effect
.
In
the
yeere
of
our
Lorde
1522
,
the
Admirall
Bonniuet
had
taken
Fontarabbie
in
the
Marches
of
Spayne
.
But
assoone
as
he
was
returned
into
Fraunce
,
&
had
brought
home
his
power
with
him
:
the
Spanyardes
fell
too
beseeging
of
the
Towne
with
a
great
armie
.
By
which
seege
when
the
Townsmen
were
brought
too
extreme
penurie
of
all
things
,
for
it
had
continewed
about
twelue
moonethes
,
and
it
is
certein
that
a
great
nomber
perished
through
famin
for
want
of
foode
,
so
that
the
matter
stoode
in
greate
extremitie
:
the
King
hauing
intelligence
therof
,
commaunded
the
Marshall
Shatilion
too
leuye
an
armie
in
all
haste
,
and
too
go
too
the
reskew
of
them
that
were
beseeged
.
The
Shatilion
hauing
mustered
his
armye
,
sped
him
thitherward
in
all
haste
.
Howbeeit
when
he
came
neere
Bayon
,
he
was
taken
with
a
sore
siknesse
,
wherof
he
dyed
,
too
the
greate
losse
of
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
.
For
he
was
a
man
of
great
experience
in
Martiall
affaires
,
and
caryed
greate
countenance
of
authoritie
with
him
.
Thus
much
sayeth
Bellay
.
This
Iasper
died
in
a
towne
commonly
called
Ax
the
sixth
of
August
in
the
yeere
1522.
leauing
behynd
him
three
sonnes
,
Odet
,
Iasper
and
Frauncis
.
As
touching
Loyse
his
wyfe
,
this
is
woorthie
of
rememberance
,
that
hauing
led
a
holie
lyfe
,
insomuch
as
shee
was
counted
an
example
of
womanhod
,
and
was
Ladie
of
Honour
(
as
they
terme
it
)
too
Queene
Helenor
wyfe
of
King
Frauncis
the
first
:
at
her
death
shee
gaue
this
record
of
the
trew
and
pure
religion
which
shee
had
imbraced
.
For
wheras
shee
had
this
saying
of
Dauids
Psalme
alwayes
in
her
mouth
,
And
his
mercie
indureth
from
generation
too
generation
towards
them
that
feare
him
:
shee
warned
hir
eldest
sonne
Odet
Shatilion
,
which
was
then
alredye
made
a
Cardinall
,
and
vtterly
forbade
him
too
suffer
anie
sacrifyzer
or
massepreest
too
come
in
her
presence
,
telling
him
that
it
was
reueled
vntoo
hir
by
Gods
singular
benefyte
,
bothe
how
shee
should
woorship
him
after
a
godly
maner
,
and
also
how
shee
should
depart
out
of
the
prizon
of
this
bodie
,
vntoo
the
heauenly
countrie
.
Shee
deceassed
at
Paris
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
.1547
.
in
the
house
which
is
now
called
Memorancie
house
.
Odet
the
eldest
of
hir
sonnes
,
was
in
the
.xvj.
yeere
of
his
age
created
Cardinall
,
(
as
is
sayd
afore
)
by
Pope
Clement
the
seuenth
,
(
who
thought
the
noblenesse
of
that
howse
fit
for
the
stablishment
of
his
owne
estate
in
Fraunce
)
and
rewarded
with
very
great
and
riche
benefices
by
the
King
.
By
meanes
wherof
,
the
second
sonne
,
whose
name
was
Iasper
(
as
I
said
afore
)
obteined
the
prerogatiue
that
was
dew
too
the
eldest
sonne
.
This
Iasper
was
borne
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
1517.
the
.xvj.
day
of
Februarie
,
whom
for
the
woonderfull
towardnesse
of
vertew
and
witte
which
he
shewed
being
yet
a
chyld
,
his
moother
after
the
decease
of
his
father
,
cawsed
too
bee
brought
vp
in
lerning
from
his
tender
yeeres
,
putting
him
too
schoole
to
Master
Nicolas
Berald
,
who
bare
the
cheef
fame
for
lerning
in
those
dayes
through
all
Fraunce
,
cawsing
him
moreouer
too
bee
trayned
vp
in
feates
of
armes
,
by
the
skllfullest
teachers
and
maysters
of
Chiualrie
that
shee
could
get
.
Iasper
being
trayned
vp
in
such
instructions
,
when
he
came
to
the
.xxiiii.
yeere
of
his
age
,
shewed
woonderfull
forewardnesse
in
the
seege
of
Bains
,
beseeged
by
King
Frauncissis
eldest
sonne
,
comonly
called
the
Dolphin
.
Bellay
in
the
tenth
booke
of
his
Historie
,
reporteth
that
about
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
1543
,
he
was
striken
in
the
throte
by
his
enemies
with
a
pellet
of
lead
,
as
he
aduentured
too
neere
the
diche
.
The
same
yeere
when
woord
was
browght
too
the
King
,
that
the
state
of
his
affaires
in
Piemount
was
such
,
as
it
was
lyke
that
they
should
come
too
a
pitched
feeld
with
their
enemies
,
he
craued
leaue
of
him
,
and
ryding
thither
in
poste
,
gaue
greate
proofe
of
his
prowesse
in
that
battell
(
which
is
comonly
called
the
battell
of
Cerisoles
)
as
the
same
Bellay
recordeth
in
the
sayd
tenth
booke
of
his
commentaries
.
By
reason
wherof
,
within
feawe
yeeres
after
,
Henrye
the
sonne
of
King
Frauncis
,
did
put
him
in
cheef
authoritie
.
For
when
Annas
Memorancie
the
Uncle
of
Iasper
,
was
General
of
the
men
of
armes
,
he
gaue
this
man
the
charge
of
the
Frenche
footemen
:
which
office
is
in
the
comon
language
called
the
Colonell
of
the
footemen
.
He
behaued
himself
in
such
wyze
in
that
roome
,
as
he
purchaced
himself
great
commendacion
for
his
Iustice
,
Ualeantnesse
,
and
wisdome
within
feawe
moonethes
after
,
and
got
the
good
willes
of
all
the
people
of
Fraunce
.
For
wheras
erst
it
was
growen
intoo
a
moste
wicked
custome
,
that
the
souldyers
myght
ronne
gadding
euery
where
vnder
their
antsignes
,
and
make
hauocke
and
spoyle
of
all
things
:
Iasper
tyed
them
too
streyter
orders
of
warlyke
disciplyne
,
therby
too
restreyne
their
ouer-licentiowse
dealings
,
and
specially
too
represse
the
libertie
of
their
cursed
swearing
and
blasphemie
:
wherthrough
the
seede
of
trew
godlinesse
and
religion
appeered
alreedie
in
his
hart
.
And
forasmuch
as
those
lawes
or
orders
were
verye
wel
lyked
of
all
good
men
:
shortly
after
,
they
were
proclaymed
by
the
Kings
commaundement
and
in
his
name
,
and
inrolled
in
the
booke
of
the
Kings
lawes
.
About
the
same
time
the
same
King
aduaunced
him
too
the
honour
which
is
now
vtterly
imbaced
,
but
at
that
tyme
was
counted
a
roome
of
greate
estimation
,
namely
too
bee
one
of
the
Knyghtes
of
the
order
.
At
the
same
season
there
fell
a
grudge
betweene
Henrye
King
of
Fraunce
,
and
Henrye
King
of
England
for
the
Towne
of
Bullen
.
Therfore
when
the
King
of
Fraunce
distrusted
the
Inglishmen
,
he
betoke
the
ordering
of
that
Countrie
,
and
almoste
of
the
whole
matter
to
the
Shatilion
.
Uppon
the
receyt
of
which
commission
,
he
went
immediatly
intoo
Picardie
,
whither
King
Henrye
had
sent
his
hoste
too
beseege
the
Towne
,
and
by
singular
pollicie
bwilded
a
forte
neere
the
Towne
,
which
myght
bee
bothe
a
defence
too
the
Frenchmen
,
and
a
greate
let
too
keepe
the
townesmen
from
issewing
owt
.
That
forte
is
yet
still
called
the
Shatilion
,
of
the
bwilders
name
:
and
it
was
a
greate
furtherance
too
the
winning
of
the
Towne
.
Therfore
it
was
not
long
after
,
ere
the
Inglishmen
began
too
treate
of
composition
:
the
commission
of
the
making
wherof
was
committed
wholly
to
the
Shatilion
,
and
too
his
vncle
Mounsyre
de
Rochepote
.
When
he
had
dispatched
these
matters
,
he
returned
too
the
Court
,
and
within
feawe
yeeres
after
was
made
Lord
Admirall
of
Fraunce
,
which
is
counted
the
cheefest
dignitie
within
the
Realme
,
bycause
he
hathe
the
cheef
rule
of
the
Sea
that
beateth
vppon
Fraunce
,
and
the
charge
of
the
Kings
Nauie
and
of
all
his
seamen
and
seamatters
.
Also
the
King
made
him
his
Lieuetennant
of
two
shyres
,
that
is
too
wit
of
Picardie
and
of
the
Ile
of
Fraunce
,
inhonoring
him
furthermore
with
the
Capteinship
of
the
men
of
armes
,
and
making
him
one
of
the
Lordes
of
his
priuie
counsell
.
The
next
yeere
following
which
was
the
.1554
.
the
Emperor
of
Germanie
Charles
the
fifth
,
&
Marie
Queene
of
England
ioyning
their
forces
togither
,
made
sore
and
sharp
warre
vppon
Henrye
King
of
Fraunce
.
The
Shatilion
was
chozen
by
the
consent
of
all
good
men
,
as
the
onely
man
that
was
able
to
resiste
so
greate
enemyes
by
his
prowesse
and
pollicie
.
Therefore
the
ordering
of
that
moste
sharp
and
terrible
warre
,
which
concerned
Picardie
moste
of
all
,
was
committed
by
the
Kinge
to
the
Admirall
,
that
he
shoulde
rayze
a
power
and
gouerne
the
marches
of
the
Lowecountrie
.
Through
the
linking
together
of
the
forces
of
so
mightie
enemies
,
and
the
opinion
that
was
had
of
the
Emperour
Charles
,
who
was
renowmed
ouer
all
the
world
,
the
whole
realme
of
Fraunce
was
striken
in
greate
feare
,
bycause
the
King
was
vtterly
vnprouided
both
of
money
and
of
other
things
needeful
for
the
mayntenance
of
warre
,
and
no
man
dowted
but
that
Fraunce
was
likely
to
goe
presently
to
wrecke
,
consideringe
the
greate
distresse
of
all
thinges
.
Whereof
when
the
Admirall
had
both
aduertised
the
King
,
and
communicated
it
to
his
freendes
,
he
thought
it
best
to
salue
the
matter
with
somme
truce
.
The
King
and
his
Counsell
lyking
well
of
this
his
deuyse
,
committed
the
handling
of
the
matter
to
him
,
and
he
within
fewe
dayes
brought
it
to
passe
to
the
incredible
ioye
and
gladnesse
of
all
the
Realme
,
and
to
his
owne
singular
prayse
for
preseruing
of
his
countrey
,
bicause
the
condicions
of
the
truce
were
both
honorable
and
very
profitable
to
the
Realme
.
About
the
same
time
the
Guyses
of
the
howse
of
Lorrein
,
which
made
their
vaunt
that
the
kingedome
of
Sicilie
and
Naples
belonged
to
them
of
right
,
and
that
it
was
wrongefully
wrested
from
them
by
the
Spaniardes
,
made
the
King
beleue
,
that
nowe
of
late
yeares
they
had
wonne
the
heartes
of
the
moste
part
of
the
nobilitie
of
Naples
,
partly
by
liberalitie
&
partly
by
fayre
promises
,
and
that
by
their
meanes
the
King
should
haue
easy
enterance
into
the
Realme
,
so
that
if
he
would
graunt
them
a
part
of
his
power
,
it
would
come
to
passe
,
that
those
kingdomes
shoulde
in
short
time
be
brought
vnder
his
Dominion
,
without
any
greate
truble
.
Thus
through
counsell
of
the
Guyses
,
,
the
truce
that
was
sworne
a
fewe
monethes
before
,
was
broken
to
the
greate
dishonour
of
the
frenche
nacion
:
which
falsehod
the
Admirall
tooke
greeuously
and
sore
to
harte
,
oftentimes
protestinge
that
such
periuries
had
alwayes
bred
mischief
in
the
end
,
and
that
God
had
in
all
ages
bene
a
most
seuere
reuenger
of
such
forswearings
.
To
the
furtherance
whereof
,
he
was
compelled
by
the
Kings
commaundement
,
to
fall
to
practises
of
warre
in
his
prouince
,
against
the
peace
&
against
his
owne
promise
.
Hereoutof
sprong
first
priuie
hartburning
,
afterwarde
an
enterance
to
the
open
hatred
that
was
betwixt
them
.
Also
this
was
a
furtherance
thereof
,
that
wheras
the
King
had
graunted
a
combate
betweene
two
Gentlemen
in
the
borders
of
Picardie
,
although
the
Duke
of
Guyse
was
then
present
,
yet
the
Shatilion
thought
it
stoode
him
on
hand
so
to
deale
,
as
he
himself
might
be
chiefe
vmper
in
the
matter
,
bycause
the
chalendge
was
to
be
performed
in
his
prouince
.
Moreouer
,
another
cause
of
the
Guyses
hatred
is
reported
to
be
this
:
that
wheras
in
their
youth
they
had
ben
linked
together
with
singular
familiaritie
,
insomuch
that
to
testifie
their
frendship
with
all
,
they
went
appareled
in
like
rayment
:
the
Duke
of
Guyse
asked
the
Admiralls
aduice
how
he
liked
of
his
brother
the
Duke
of
Aumalls
intent
,
in
purpozing
to
marrie
the
Seneschall
of
Valentinoes
dawghter
,
who
was
highly
in
King
Henries
fauour
,
and
as
highly
diffamed
among
good
men
.
To
whome
the
Admirall
answered
,
that
he
made
more
account
of
an
ynch
of
good
name
,
then
of
neuer
so
greate
riches
:
which
saying
of
the
Admirals
the
Duke
of
Guyse
and
the
Duke
of
Aumall
tooke
in
greate
displeazure
,
as
though
it
had
bene
spoken
to
barre
the
howse
of
Gwyse
from
greater
power
preferment
and
preheminence
.
Howbeit
when
the
Kinge
was
aduertized
that
the
Spaniards
leuied
men
of
warre
in
the
frontiers
of
the
Lowe
countreis
,
and
that
their
forces
assembled
into
one
place
:
he
thought
it
moste
for
the
safetie
of
Picardie
,
to
send
the
Admirall
thither
out
of
hand
with
an
armye
,
whome
we
haue
shewed
alreadye
to
haue
btn
the
Lieuetennant
of
that
Countrie
.
He
had
scarsly
marched
two
dayes
iourney
,
but
he
was
certified
by
his
espialls
,
that
the
Spanyards
were
minded
to
beseege
S.
Quintines
a
towne
of
Picardie
not
vnrenowmed
,
and
to
batter
it
out
of
hand
with
greate
store
of
dubble
Canons
.
Therwithall
he
had
worde
sent
him
by
Brullio
the
Captaine
of
the
Castle
of
Ham
,
that
as
soone
as
the
townesmen
had
tydings
therof
,
ther
rose
such
a
feare
throughout
all
the
Citie
,
that
many
housholders
left
their
wiues
,
children
and
all
other
things
behind
them
,
and
tooke
them
to
flight
.
When
the
Admirall
hearde
that
,
yet
he
thought
it
meete
to
conceale
it
among
his
men
of
warre
,
and
pretending
greate
lustinesse
of
corage
,
marched
on
in
great
iourneys
towards
S.
Quintines
.
When
Iernacke
,
and
Lusarche
whome
the
Admirall
had
made
Lieuetennant
of
the
men
at
armes
disswaded
him
from
it
with
many
wordes
,
declaringe
vnto
him
that
the
towne
was
nether
well
fortified
nor
well
vitteled
,
and
moreouer
that
the
townesmen
were
striken
in
feare
,
&
a
greate
power
of
the
enemies
would
be
come
thither
before
any
thinge
coulde
be
prouided
for
the
defence
of
the
towne
,
&
therfore
it
was
more
for
their
commoditie
&
praise
to
maintaine
the
warres
in
the
open
field
,
than
to
studye
howe
to
saue
them selues
cooped
vp
within
walls
:
the
Admirall
beinge
no
whit
moued
with
those
words
of
theirs
,
continued
in
his
purpozed
exployt
,
declaring
to
them
,
of
how
great
importance
that
towne
was
,
both
to
the
puttinge
backe
of
the
Spanish
force
from
the
destruction
of
his
countrey
,
&
to
the
safetie
of
his
prouince
:
&
how
greate
occasion
of
speache
he
should
giue
to
spiteful
and
malicious
persones
,
if
he
shoulde
alter
his
purpoze
.
The
next
daye
worde
was
brought
him
,
that
the
most
part
of
the
sowldiers
which
were
appoynted
to
him
by
the
Kinges
commaundement
for
the
defence
of
the
towne
,
and
whome
he
had
sent
one
night
afore
him
to
cheere
vp
the
harts
of
the
townesmen
,
had
hid
them selues
in
the
next
woods
for
feare
,
and
were
slipt
euery
man
home
too
his
owne
howse
by
bywayes
.
That
day
therefore
there
folowed
him
no
mo
but
a
hundred
&
twentie
,
whom
six
score
mo
followed
the
next
day
.
Wherof
the
enemyes
hauing
intelligence
by
their
skowts
,
came
too
the
towne
in
haste
,
&
diuiding
their
woorks
,
began
too
make
a
trenche
abowt
it
.
When
they
had
taken
certein
little
cotages
in
the
suburbes
,
and
drew
neere
too
the
dyches
with
their
wynding
trenches
:
the
Admirall
making
a
salye
owt
vppon
them
,
commaunded
faggots
and
fyrebronds
too
bee
thrust
intoo
those
howses
,
and
set
them
on
fyre
,
wherby
he
draue
the
enemie
further
of
.
The
next
day
when
he
had
vewed
all
partes
of
the
towne
,
and
found
no
bulwarkes
,
no
rampyres
,
no
towers
of
defence
:
he
began
too
distrust
the
towne
,
and
too
bee
afrayd
of
long
seege
.
Neuerthelesse
,
forasmuch
as
the
cace
stoode
so
with
him
,
that
he
was
driuen
either
too
defend
the
towne
,
and
too
stoppe
the
rage
of
the
enemies
from
the
destroying
of
his
countrie
,
or
else
too
dye
manfully
in
the
quarell
:
looke
what
was
possible
for
him
too
deuyze
and
bring
too
passe
by
care
,
trauel
and
watching
,
he
did
it
:
not
ouerslipping
anie
thing
in
making
of
fortifications
,
in
cutting
of
trenches
,
and
in
rayzing
vp
rampyres
euerywhere
.
And
too
the
intent
too
giue
example
of
peynfulnesse
and
trauell
too
the
townesmen
,
and
too
his
sowldyers
,
and
too
the
Gentlemen
that
came
with
him
:
he
was
the
first
man
that
did
set
hand
too
the
woorks
,
and
neuer
departed
from
them
til
they
were
ended
.
Whyle
he
was
in
this
perplexitie
,
soodeinly
vnlooked
for
,
newes
was
brought
him
that
Mounsyre
d'Andelot
his
brother
(
of
whom
mention
is
made
afore
)
was
comme
intoo
the
towne
,
and
had
browght
about
.500
.
sowldyers
with
him
.
Besydes
this
,
the
King
being
aduertized
from
him
,
intoo
how
greate
perill
the
Towne
seemed
too
bee
browght
,
commaunded
the
Constable
too
hye
him
thither
with
certein
Gwidons
of
horsmen
,
&
too
carry
in
vittells
with
him
,
and
too
fortifye
the
towne
with
a
greater
garrison
.
But
the
Spanyards
compassing
him
with
a
greater
companie
of
Launceknyghts
,
&
with
a
great
power
of
footemen
,
ouercame
him
in
battel
,
and
tooke
him
prizoner
,
and
hauing
made
a
greate
spoyle
of
his
men
,
draue
the
rest
backe
agein
further
intoo
Fraunce
.
Uppon
the
report
of
which
newes
in
the
towne
,
such
a
feare
strake
into
the
harts
of
al
men
,
that
the
Admirall
could
scarce
doo
any
good
with
his
incoragements
.
Being
moued
with
sorrowe
herat
,
&
greeued
with
so
greate
perill
of
his
countrie
,
he
called
his
people
toogither
,
and
told
them
that
more
regard
was
too
bee
had
of
their
countrie
then
of
life
:
and
thervppon
he
tooke
an
othe
of
them
all
,
as
well
the
townesmen
as
his
souldyers
,
that
it
should
bee
death
for
any
of
them
too
make
mention
of
yeelding
,
and
that
it
should
bee
lawfull
for
euery
man
too
kill
such
a
one
vnpunished
.
He
himself
tooke
the
othe
first
of
all
.
The
Spanyards
being
puffed
vp
with
so
greate
a
victorie
,
returned
too
the
seege
of
the
towne
,
&
neuer
left
beating
of
it
with
greate
ordinance
by
the
space
of
.20
.
dayes
toogither
,
and
moreouer
made
wynding
trenches
about
the
walles
,
wherin
too
comme
couertly
and
priuily
to
the
ditches
.
When
the
Admiral
saw
that
the
most
part
of
the
wal
was
cast
downe
with
the
continuall
batterie
,
and
a
greate
breache
open
into
the
towne
,
and
the
enemies
readye
to
giue
the
assault
:
he
incouraged
his
souldiers
to
abide
that
one
brunt
,
saying
that
if
they
foyled
their
enemies
at
that
time
,
they
would
not
be
ouer
hastie
to
aduenture
againe
:
and
therupon
he
him selfe
stoode
to
defence
where
he
sawe
the
breache
wydest
,
assigninge
the
other
parts
of
the
towne
to
his
brother
and
to
the
rest
of
his
friends
to
defend
.
The
enemies
beholding
so
strong
a
counterforce
on
that
side
,
assaulted
the
towne
on
two
other
sides
.
Whereof
when
tydinges
was
brought
to
the
Admiral
,
he
left
such
as
he
trusted
best
at
his
standinge
,
and
hyed
him
to
the
nexte
,
where
he
found
his
men
driuen
away
,
and
the
place
gotten
by
his
enemies
,
and
a
part
of
the
Citie
pestered
with
armed
men
.
There
was
with
him
a
noble
yong
gentleman
called
Auentignie
,
whome
he
had
brought
vp
in
his
house
of
a
child
,
and
a
page
,
and
a
child
of
a
noble
howse
that
bare
his
iauelin
,
which
were
suddeinly
assayled
and
inclozed
about
by
certaine
Spaniards
,
who
hauing
knowledge
of
the
Admirall
,
tooke
him
prizoner
,
and
after
the
winning
of
the
towne
,
conueied
him
to
Antwerp
:
where
being
attached
with
sore
sickenesse
and
vexed
fortie
dayes
with
an
agewe
,
at
suche
tymes
as
his
fitts
lefte
him
,
he
commaunded
a
Byble
to
be
brought
vnto
him
,
to
ease
the
griefe
and
sorrowe
of
his
minde
with
reading
of
it
.
And
he
studied
so
much
vpon
it
,
that
he
began
from
thensforthe
to
haue
a
taste
of
that
pure
religion
&
trew
godlinesse
,
&
to
lerne
the
right
maner
of
calling
vppon
God
.
When
he
had
payed
fiftie
thousand
pound
for
his
raunsome
,
and
was
come
home
agein
frome
captiuitie
,
hauing
gotten
some
leyzure
,
and
being
weery
of
the
broyles
of
the
Court
,
he
set
his
mynd
earnestly
thensforth
vppon
Religion
,
&
by
the
Kings
permission
gaue
ouer
his
Colonelship
of
the
footemen
to
his
brother
Mounsyre
d'
Andelot
,
&
his
Lieuetennantship
of
the
Ile
of
Fraunce
too
his
Neuew
the
Marshal
Memorancie
,
his
sisters
sonne
by
the
Cunstable
.
And
it
was
not
long
after
ere
he
sent
a
familiar
freend
of
his
too
the
King
,
certifying
him
in
moste
humble
wise
,
that
he
was
mynded
too
giue
vp
his
charge
in
Picardie
,
&
beseeching
him
too
looke
wel
about
him
too
whome
he
committed
it
.
The
King
answered
that
he
thought
this
sewt
of
his
very
straunge
,
and
that
he
delt
not
wizely
in
dispossessing
of
him self
of
so
many
roomes
and
offices
at
once
.
From
thensforth
manie
began
to
suspect
the
Admirall
that
he
had
chaunged
his
religion
,
and
in
deede
he
shewed
a
mynd
vtterly
voyd
of
all
ambition
and
desyre
of
authoritie
.
Within
a
while
after
,
King
Henry
dyed
,
and
his
sonne
Frauncis
succeeded
.
This
Frauncis
had
taken
too
his
wife
Mary
Queene
of
Scotts
,
the
dawghter
of
the
Duke
of
Gwysis
sister
,
by
reason
wherof
the
howse
of
Gwyse
grew
in
greate
fauour
and
authoritie
with
the
King
,
and
oftentymes
bragged
to
him
of
the
kingdome
of
Ingland
,
which
they
affirmed
to
belong
too
their
sayd
kinswoman
,
so
that
in
the
Court
they
were
comonly
called
the
Kings
Uncles
.
The
Admiral
knowing
their
cruel
,
barbarous
,
and
feerce
nature
,
and
perceiuing
that
they
woulde
neuer
desist
from
troubblesum
deuyses
,
and
specially
that
they
would
most
eagrely
persecute
religion
,
stacke
to
his
accustomed
purpoze
,
and
determined
to
giue
vp
his
lieftēnantship
.
Heruppon
he
brake
his
mind
to
Lewis
of
Burbon
a
Prince
of
the
blud
royal
,
cōonly
called
the
Prince
of
Codey
,
who
had
maryed
his
sisters
dawghter
,
counselling
him
to
sew
to
the
King
for
that
charge
.
So
the
Admiral
being
discharged
of
diuers
cares
,
and
set
free
from
a
nomber
of
affayres
,
which
withdrew
his
godly
mynd
from
the
study
of
religion
,
kept
himself
at
home
in
his
castle
of
Shatilion
,
and
that
so
much
the
willinglier
,
bycause
his
wife
Sharlot
de
Lauall
a
woman
of
a
noble
&
auncient
stocke
,
was
wonderfully
giuen
to
the
following
of
godlinesse
,
(
which
he
tooke
too
be
a
singular
benefite
of
God
)
insomuch
that
she
euen
incoraged
hir
husband
too
forsake
supersticion
and
the
worshipping
of
Idolls
,
and
to
imbrace
the
christian
religion
with
his
whole
hart
.
When
the
Admirall
perceyued
that
she
delt
often
and
very
earnestly
with
him
in
the
matter
,
he
himself
also
determined
to
deale
earnestly
with
her
at
once
.
And
therfore
he
told
hir
in
many
words
,
that
in
all
his
life
he
neuer
sawe
or
hearde
of
any
man
eyther
in
Germanie
or
in
Fraunce
,
but
he
was
in
daunger
too
be
ouerwhelmed
with
great
miseries
and
calamities
,
if
he
imbraced
the
religion
any
thing
earnestly
:
and
that
the
Lawes
of
King
Frauncis
the
first
,
&
of
King
Henrie
the
second
,
being
looked
to
most
streightly
in
all
Courts
of
Iustice
,
commaunded
that
all
such
as
were
condemned
of
that
Religion
,
should
be
burned
quicke
in
publike
places
,
and
all
their
goods
be
forfeyted
to
the
King
:
and
yet
neuerthelesse
he
trusted
that
his
heart
was
so
settled
,
as
he
should
not
refuze
the
comon
cace
of
all
the
protestants
,
nor
fayle
of
his
dewtie
.
Shee
answered
that
the
cace
of
the
protestants
of
that
time
,
was
none
other
then
the
cace
of
the
true
Christians
of
all
ages
had
bin
:
nether
dowted
she
but
it
should
be
the
same
still
to
the
worlds
end
.
When
they
had
plyghted
their
faithes
on
both
sides
ech
to
other
,
the
Admirall
began
by
litle
and
litle
to
frame
his
household
&
familiar
freends
to
the
knowledge
of
God
by
godly
speeches
,
and
to
deliuer
them
not
only
the
holy
bible
,
but
also
other
books
written
of
religion
in
french
,
to
reade
,
forbidding
them
all
swearing
&
blasphemous
banning
,
comonly
vsed
in
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
,
but
specially
among
the
Courtiers
.
Moreouer
he
set
godly
gouerners
and
teachers
ouer
his
children
,
so
that
within
a
few
monethes
the
howse
of
Shatilion
was
of
a
new
hewe
and
his
other
two
brothers
,
Odet
(
whome
I
haue
shewed
afore
to
haue
bin
made
a
Cardinall
)
and
Mounsyre
d'Andelot
were
greatly
inflamed
to
religion
by
that
example
.
For
the
Admirall
had
alwaies
euen
from
his
yong
yeares
,
bin
trayned
vp
in
the
pleazures
and
corrupt
manners
of
the
Kings
Court
,
and
he
was
not
thought
to
haue
bin
cleere
of
that
infection
.
Notwithstanding
,
when
he
once
began
to
haue
a
taste
of
the
trew
religion
,
there
appeered
sodeinly
so
greate
an
alteration
in
his
life
and
conuersation
,
as
a
man
might
easily
perceaue
the
force
of
Gods
spirit
in
that
so
sodein
chaunge
,
&
find
this
saying
of
Christs
too
bee
most
trew
,
that
they
which
are
indewed
with
Gods
spirit
,
are
after
a
sort
borne
ageine
and
made
new
men
.
And
this
seemeth
worthy
of
memorie
,
that
befell
him
before
he
durst
prepare
too
the
Christian
feaste
and
Sacrament
of
the
Lordes
supper
.
He
had
oftentimes
talked
with
al
the
best
learned
Ministers
of
the
Frenche
Churches
,
not
only
of
transsubstantiation
(
as
the
Sorbonists
terme
it
)
but
also
of
consubstantiation
:
&
like
as
the
nature
of
mans
witte
is
too
seeke
some
locall
and
bownded
presence
of
the
Godhead
too
be
worshipped
in
some
certeine
places
,
after
which
sort
God
exhibited
his
presence
in
old
tyme
in
the
arke
of
the
couenant
:
so
the
Admirall
required
a
certeine
mingled
presence
of
Christs
body
flesh
blud
and
bone
in
the
breade
and
the
wyne
.
At
length
when
he
had
bin
at
a
Sermon
that
was
made
priuily
to
a
fewe
in
the
towne
of
Vateuille
,
at
the
end
wherof
the
Lords
supper
was
to
be
ministred
,
he
besought
such
as
were
present
,
that
they
woulde
not
be
offended
at
his
infirmitie
,
but
pray
to
God
for
him
,
and
therwith
all
he
requested
the
preacher
to
treate
a
litle
playnlier
of
the
misterie
of
the
supper
.
Then
the
preacher
spake
to
this
effect
:
namely
that
of
the
Lords
supper
there
were
two
parts
:
the
one
humane
and
naturall
,
which
is
seene
with
the
eyes
of
the
bodye
,
and
the
other
diuine
and
heauenly
which
is
seene
with
the
eies
of
the
minde
:
and
that
the
first
consisted
of
the
minister
or
giuer
,
and
of
breade
and
wyne
,
&
furthermore
of
the
eating
&
drinking
of
them
,
whereof
the
whole
action
was
performed
after
an
humane
and
naturall
maner
:
and
this
other
consisted
of
God
the
giuer
of
it
,
&
of
the
whole
frute
of
the
crucified
,
requickened
,
and
glorified
body
of
Christ
,
which
frute
God
gaue
in
the
supper
,
&
moreouer
of
the
faith
&
beleef
wherby
the
sayd
frute
was
receyued
of
Christians
,
the
whole
action
wherof
was
misticall
,
&
performed
after
a
diuine
,
heauenly
,
&
supernaturall
meane
.
And
furthermore
that
forasmuch
as
the
same
action
was
ordeyned
,
not
for
the
bread
&
wynes
sake
,
but
for
the
Christian
mannes
sake
,
&
was
to
be
referred
too
that
end
:
it
was
in
vaine
to
be
ouercurious
in
seeking
whether
any
thing
be
mixed
in
the
bread
,
with
the
bread
,
vnder
the
bread
,
within
the
bread
or
about
the
bread
.
The
bread
and
wine
belonged
to
the
outward
dooing
,
like
as
water
and
the
dipping
in
it
,
do
in
Baptim
.
Therfore
the
mindes
of
men
ought
too
be
lifted
vp
too
the
heauenly
and
inward
action
,
&
to
consider
what
God
woorketh
in
that
Sacrament
,
which
thing
Paule
sheweth
in
these
woords
.
Is
not
the
bread
which
we
breake
the
parttaking
of
Christs
body
?
&
they
must
cry
out
with
him
,
It
is
a
secret
misterie
,
importing
the
coniunction
of
Christ
and
his
Churche
.
And
finally
it
is
very
trewly
sayd
of
Austin
that
to
eate
the
meate
which
perisheth
not
,
but
abideth
vnto
euerlasting
life
,
is
too
beleue
in
Christ
.
Why
preparest
thou
teeth
&
belly
?
beleeue
,
and
thou
hast
eaten
.
And
agein
:
prepare
not
thy
iawes
,
but
thy
hart
.
That
is
it
wherewith
that
supper
is
to
be
eaten
.
Behold
,
wee
beleeue
in
Christ
,
whom
wee
receyue
by
fayth
.
By
which
woords
the
Admirall
being
taught
,
gaue
thanks
first
to
God
and
secondly
to
the
congregation
,
determining
with
him selfe
too
be
present
at
the
communion
as
soone
as
it
should
be
ministred
agein
,
and
too
be
made
parttaker
of
that
most
holy
misterie
.
Whereof
when
the
fame
was
blowen
abrode
ouer
all
Fraunce
,
it
is
wonderful
to
say
how
greate
ioy
and
comfort
all
the
congregations
conceyued
.
For
although
that
vntoo
that
tyme
the
followers
of
the
reformed
religion
were
afflicted
with
most
rigorous
edicts
of
the
Kings
,
and
with
continuall
persecutions
and
punishments
of
the
iudges
and
Iusticers
of
the
Realme
,
so
as
they
were
fayne
too
keepe
priuy
assemblies
after
the
maner
of
the
primitiue
Churches
:
yit
was
religion
maruelously
spred
abrode
throughout
all
the
Shyres
of
Fraunce
,
whereof
a
man
may
see
many
records
in
the
Edicts
or
Proclamations
of
King
Henry
,
&
of
King
Frauncis
the
second
,
who
make
complaint
in
them
,
that
the
more
labour
they
tooke
after
the
example
of
Frauncis
the
first
,
in
repressing
the
religion
,
the
more
it
krepeth
foreward
from
day
to
day
,
sheading
it selfe
into
all
parts
of
the
Realme
,
and
growing
still
stronger
and
stronger
.
Ere
it
was
long
after
,
there
roze
a
commotion
at
Amboys
,
&
many
noblemen
conspyred
the
destruction
of
the
howse
of
Gwyse
,
whose
ouerlustines
&
lordlines
a
nomber
of
the
french
nobilitie
&
Lords
could
no
longer
away
with
,
now
when
as
the
Prince
of
Condey
seemed
to
aly
that
waye
,
and
there
was
so
me
likelyhode
that
his
brother
the
Kinge
of
Nauarre
woulde
make
some
stirre
ere
long
after
:
the
howse
of
Guyse
thought
it
most
expedient
,
that
the
King
shoulde
call
an
assembly
of
the
noble
men
at
the
towne
of
Fountaynbleawe
,
to
knowe
how
euery
man
was
minded
concerning
religion
.
When
the
day
of
that
meeting
came
,
which
was
the
xxiiii
.
of
August
1560.
and
that
the
King
desired
such
as
sate
in
counsell
with
him
to
say
their
iudgements
:
the
Admirall
rysing
out
of
his
place
,
and
comminge
honorably
vnto
the
Kinge
,
did
put
vp
two
supplications
intitled
after
this
manner
:
The
supplication
of
such
as
worship
God
rightly
&
godlily
,
throughout
diuers
prouinces
of
this
Realme
.
Both
the
bookes
were
deliuered
too
Mounsyre
de
l'Awbespyne
the
Kings
Secretarie
,
to
reade
them
alowd
as
they
were
written
.
This
deede
of
the
Admirals
,
for
the
straungenesse
of
the
matter
,
and
in
respect
of
the
former
tymes
that
he
had
past
,
and
of
the
Kings
mind
which
was
most
extremly
bent
against
religion
,
and
of
the
great
authoritie
of
the
house
of
Guyse
,
seemed
somewhat
with
the
boldest
,
both
to
the
King
and
too
the
whole
counsell
.
The
effect
of
the
bookes
was
this
:
That
the
godly
and
right
worshippers
of
God
taking
the
opportunitie
of
that
tyme
,
besought
the
Kinges
maiestie
most
humbly
to
extend
his
clemencie
and
gentlenesse
towards
the
greatest
nomber
of
his
subiects
,
who
hauing
thitherto
bin
combred
with
many
distresses
,
had
abidden
many
miseries
&
bitter
brunts
for
religions
sake
:
beseeching
him
most
humbly
,
too
vowtsafe
too
take
intelligence
of
their
cace
,
and
too
admit
the
holie
scripture
too
the
iudgment
of
so
greate
controuersies
:
for
therby
he
should
eazely
perceiue
how
greatly
they
abhorred
,
not
only
heresie
,
of
which
cryme
they
had
bin
accuzed
of
late
yeeres
,
but
also
sedition
:
forasmuch
as
in
the
vttermost
extremitie
of
all
their
mizeries
,
they
mynded
not
too
resort
too
violence
and
force
of
armes
,
but
too
the
only
clemencie
and
goodnesse
of
the
King
.
Wherfore
it
myght
pleaze
his
maiestie
too
inhibit
the
iudgments
that
were
woont
too
bee
executed
vppon
them
,
wherthrough
no
part
of
his
Realme
had
escaped
theis
former
yeeres
,
vnimbrewed
with
the
blud
of
his
subiects
,
by
reason
wherof
their
state
had
thithertoo
bin
miserable
,
forasmuch
as
they
were
driuen
too
pleade
their
cace
before
such
iudges
,
as
being
the
Bishop
of
Romes
benefyzed
and
feede
men
,
did
rather
beare
the
persones
of
aduersaries
than
of
vpryght
iudges
or
indifferent
vmpers
:
and
therfore
they
prayed
him
too
haue
an
eye
to
the
greate
number
of
the
calamities
of
his
freendes
and
leege
people
,
which
had
alwaies
acknowledged
him
for
their
King
and
moste
mercifull
Lord
,
and
earnestly
and
godlily
honored
him
according
too
Gods
commaundement
,
and
would
not
refuze
too
spend
their
lyues
herafter
for
the
mayntenance
of
his
estate
,
if
neede
should
requyre
:
in
respect
wherof
it
was
good
ryght
,
that
seing
God
had
committed
them
too
his
charge
and
trust
,
he
should
defend
them
from
the
ouermyghtinesse
&
crueltie
of
their
aduersaries
:
And
their
humble
petition
was
,
that
thensforth
they
myght
with
his
good
fauour
openly
woorship
God
in
publicke
places
,
&
be
instructed
in
the
knowledge
of
trew
godlinesse
by
their
preachers
,
and
inioy
the
Sacraments
that
God
hath
ordeyned
,
leaste
for
want
of
being
knowen
,
their
religion
myght
any
longer
lye
open
too
the
malicious
speeches
of
their
aduersaries
,
bycawse
of
their
secret
meetings
.
Uppon
the
reading
of
theis
bookes
,
euerye
man
vttered
his
opinion
,
howbeeit
their
talk
was
not
so
much
of
Religion
,
as
of
the
greate
dette
wherwith
they
complained
that
the
king
was
in
maner
oppressed
and
ouerwhelmed
.
But
the
Admirall
spake
manie
things
verye
boldly
,
specially
concerning
the
men
of
warre
which
the
howse
of
Gwyse
had
gathered
toogither
in
the
hart
of
the
realme
,
vnder
colour
of
garding
the
kings
persone
,
as
thowgh
the
King
were
in
a
straunge
countrie
,
and
not
in
his
owne
dominion
,
and
therfore
needed
so
great
a
garde
for
the
safety
of
his
persone
.
Saying
that
the
name
of
king
was
of
so
great
preeminence
in
Fraunce
,
that
any
herault
comming
with
commission
in
the
kings
name
,
was
able
too
appeaze
anie
vprore
without
further
trubble
.
It
is
certeine
that
this
speeche
of
the
Admirals
sank
verie
deepe
intoo
the
stomacks
of
the
Gwisians
,
&
that
it
kindled
their
hatred
ageinst
him
the
more
vehemently
.
Dyuers
other
were
of
opinion
,
that
it
were
moste
conuenient
too
summon
a
generall
assembly
of
the
whole
Realme
,
which
they
comonly
terme
the
assembly
of
the
States
:
and
it
was
shewed
,
specially
by
Marilliak
archbishop
of
Vien
,
&
by
Michaell
de
l'Hospitall
,
Lord
Chauncelour
of
Fraunce
,
whose
authoritie
bare
greatest
sway
at
that
tyme
,
that
the
same
had
bin
the
most
auncient
and
continewall
custome
of
the
Frenchmen
,
and
yitnotwithstanding
had
bin
omitted
by
the
space
of
.87
.
yeeres
,
through
the
slaunders
of
certein
flatterers
.
About
the
same
tyme
dyed
king
Frauncis
the
second
,
and
his
yoonger
brother
Charles
the
nyneth
being
abowt
ten
yeeres
old
,
succeeded
him
,
&
byandby
the
old
petition
of
Summoning
a
generall
Councel
was
renewed
.
Untoo
that
tyme
Katherine
Medicee
the
kings
moother
,
a
Florentine
borne
,
had
liued
in
such
state
as
Queenes
are
woont
to
doo
in
their
widowhoods
,
that
is
too
wit
,
as
a
commaunder
of
hir
owne
women
,
&
a
keeper
of
the
persone
of
hir
sonne
:
but
in
no
wyze
admitted
too
haue
too
doo
with
matters
of
the
state
:
and
at
that
poynt
was
shee
hild
most
streytly
by
the
Gwisians
,
as
long
as
they
bare
cheefe
sway
.
Now
forasmuch
as
at
this
tyme
it
seemed
that
the
nobilitie
of
Fraunce
woold
not
any
longer
indure
the
burnings
,
tormentings
,
and
other
punishments
that
were
woont
too
bee
executed
vppon
the
protestants
,
and
therfore
it
was
too
bee
dowted
least
some
new
commotions
woold
ryze
therof
:
bycause
the
Queene
moother
pretended
a
mynd
not
ildispozed
towards
religion
:
The
Admirall
labored
by
all
meanes
possible
,
&
at
length
brought
it
to
passe
,
that
she
was
matched
as
a
companion
&
partaker
of
that
great
charge
of
gouernment
,
with
Antonie
King
of
Nauarre
,
too
whom
the
Protectorship
of
the
Realme
was
committed
.
Which
deuyce
of
his
,
there
were
many
men
that
loued
well
their
countrie
,
which
mislyked
,
shewing
by
the
hystories
of
all
ages
,
that
the
gouernment
of
the
Realme
was
neuer
yit
committed
to
Queene
Mothers
,
specially
if
they
were
straungers
borne
,
but
it
was
too
the
vndooing
and
destruction
of
the
commonweale
of
Fraunce
,
and
a
cause
of
ciuill
discord
.
When
the
day
of
the
Generall
Counsell
came
,
he
that
spake
in
the
name
of
the
Nobilitie
,
did
in
the
end
of
his
Oration
offer
vp
a
booke
of
supplication
too
the
Kings
maiestie
,
requesting
that
the
pure
religion
(
which
they
terme
comonly
the
reformed
Re
:
ligion
)
myght
lawfully
bee
haunted
and
exercyzed
openly
in
publicke
places
.
Her
against
stoode
vp
an
aduersarie
called
Quintin
,
a
Doctor
of
the
Canon
law
,
and
a
professor
of
it
in
Paris
,
who
(
not
making
,
but
rehercing
in
wryting
,
a
verie
long
oration
in
the
name
of
the
Clergie
,
not
without
prompting
of
somme
preests
that
stoode
redie
at
his
elbowe
,
too
whisper
him
in
the
eare
when
he
was
at
anie
stoppe
)
:
was
so
bold
as
too
say
,
that
all
such
as
demaunded
publicke
places
too
exercyze
religion
in
,
were
woorthie
too
bee
punished
as
traytors
and
fauorers
of
newfownd
religion
.
Wherof
when
the
Admirall
had
complayned
too
the
kings
Counsell
:
Quintin
being
afrayd
,
confessed
that
he
had
not
spoken
any
thing
of
his
owne
head
at
that
tyme
,
but
only
reherced
the
booke
as
it
was
deliuered
him
in
wryting
by
the
Clergimen
,
offering
himself
redie
too
protest
and
avow
in
the
same
open
assembly
before
the
Kings
Maiestie
,
that
he
ment
not
any
thing
at
all
of
the
Admirall
:
which
thing
was
doone
within
a
feawe
dayes
after
,
and
so
the
Admiralles
demaund
was
satisfyed
.
At
the
last
,
all
Magistrates
of
Fraunce
,
and
all
that
had
commission
too
execute
Iustice
,
were
commaunded
by
the
kings
authoritie
,
that
they
should
out
of
hand
dismisse
all
such
as
were
held
in
ward
or
prizon
for
religions
sake
:
and
they
were
streytly
forbidden
too
molest
any
man
herafter
for
religion
.
As
towching
the
publicke
places
where
it
should
bee
lawfull
for
them
too
haue
Sermons
,
the
determination
therof
was
put
ouer
too
another
Generall
Counsell
,
which
was
appoynted
too
bee
at
Ponthoyse
a
towne
of
Picardie
,
but
not
performed
.
The
moneth
of
Ianuarie
next
insewing
,
a
meeting
of
all
the
Princes
and
noble
men
of
Fraunce
was
summoned
too
bee
at
S.
Germans
,
and
there
by
the
aduyce
of
certeine
counsellers
of
euery
Parlament
,
an
Edict
was
made
by
the
kings
authoritie
,
&
proclaymed
throwghowt
all
Fraunce
,
that
it
should
bee
lawfull
too
exercyze
the
religion
in
the
Suburbes
of
all
Townes
.
When
this
Edict
was
published
,
and
the
realme
seemed
too
bee
setled
in
quietnesse
,
and
the
comon
weale
too
haue
taken
somme
breth
ageine
,
so
as
Sermons
began
too
bee
preached
peaceably
and
quietly
in
the
suburbes
almoste
of
all
great
townes
,
yea
and
euen
of
Paris
it self
:
newes
was
browght
that
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
who
had
at
that
tyme
withdrawen
himself
intoo
Shampayne
,
had
made
a
slawghter
about
.200
.
men
at
Vassey
,
as
they
were
at
a
Sermon
vpon
trust
of
the
authoritie
of
the
kings
Edict
,
and
were
singing
of
Hymnes
after
the
end
of
comon
prayer
in
a
certein
berne
.
The
Duke
of
Gwyse
is
reported
too
haue
executed
this
butcherly
crueltie
,
vppon
presumption
of
the
new
frendship
of
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
whose
weake
mynd
he
had
drawen
vntoo
him
by
warranting
him
the
kingdome
of
Sardinia
,
and
bownd
him
vntoo
him
by
manie
other
promises
.
Therfore
presuming
vppon
that
trust
,
within
feawe
dayes
after
,
he
came
too
the
Court
,
accompanied
with
his
brothers
and
with
a
greate
trayne
of
armed
men
:
and
there
tooke
the
yoong
king
and
his
moother
,
who
seemed
too
shunne
that
violence
with
greate
lamentation
and
weeping
,
whom
he
conueyed
first
too
Melune
,
and
anon
after
too
Paris
.
In
that
tyme
the
Queene
Moother
sent
messengers
oft
tymes
too
the
Admirall
,
and
also
wrate
with
hir
owne
hand
too
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
that
he
should
succour
hir
and
hir
yoong
children
,
and
haue
a
care
of
the
welfare
of
the
realme
.
The
Prince
being
moued
with
theis
things
,
and
moreouer
perswaded
by
the
intreatance
of
moste
of
the
noblemen
of
Fraunce
,
determined
too
put
on
armes
,
and
too
make
warre
vppon
the
howse
of
Gwyse
,
too
set
the
King
at
libertie
:
protesting
oftentymes
openly
,
that
he
feared
not
the
slaunderous
speeches
of
some
men
,
as
thowgh
he
ment
too
inlarge
the
religion
by
force
of
armes
,
or
too
make
warre
ageinst
the
king
being
a
chyld
.
For
a
general
assembly
of
the
whole
realme
had
bin
hild
at
Orleance
,
wherin
bothe
the
comons
and
the
nobilitie
had
requyred
the
reformation
of
Religion
,
and
afterward
an
Edict
was
made
in
that
greate
assembly
,
that
it
should
bee
lawfull
too
exercyze
the
same
in
suburbes
and
villages
.
And
what
ryght
in
the
kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
had
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
being
borne
in
Lorreine
?
Or
vppon
what
grownd
should
he
presume
,
too
execute
such
crueltie
vppon
the
kings
subiects
?
Finally
,
there
was
no
good
too
bee
doone
ageinst
force
but
by
force
:
and
therfore
he
himself
did
not
moue
warre
,
but
bi
warre
defend
peaceable
people
ageinst
warre
made
vppon
them
.
Saying
it
was
alredy
bruted
ouer
all
Fraunce
,
and
also
reported
intoo
Germanie
,
that
the
Duke
of
Nemowrs
at
the
prouocation
of
the
Gwisians
,
had
with
fayre
woordes
intyced
Henrye
the
kings
brother
a
little
chyld
,
(
who
since
that
tyme
was
created
king
of
Poole
)
too
haue
conueyed
him
owt
of
the
precint
of
the
Realme
:
(
which
purpoze
and
drift
the
chyld
bewrayed
too
his
moother
,
and
so
that
discouerie
of
that
matter
was
at
that
time
in
all
mennes
mouthes
)
&
that
the
Gwisians
despyzing
the
authoritie
of
the
generall
assembly
and
of
the
king
,
executed
butcherly
crueltie
at
Vassey
with
extreme
furie
and
pryde
:
layd
violent
hands
vppon
the
king
&
Queene
moother
,
&
caryed
them
away
ageinst
their
willes
to
Melune
and
Paris
,
as
seemed
moste
for
the
Gwisians
commoditie
,
went
intoo
the
borders
of
Germanie
a
little
before
,
and
requested
certeine
princes
of
Almanie
too
bee
admitted
intoo
the
nomber
of
the
Protestants
:
Inuited
Christopher
Duke
of
Wirttemberg
a
prince
of
great
corage
and
wisdome
too
Sauerne
a
towne
next
too
Strawsborow
:
where
the
Cardinall
of
Loreine
made
twoo
such
Sermons
openly
in
the
Churche
before
the
sayd
Prince
and
a
greate
nomber
of
the
professers
of
the
religion
,
bothe
Germanes
and
Frenchmen
,
as
he
perswaded
verye
manie
,
that
bothe
he
himself
and
also
his
brethren
imbraced
the
Religion
,
and
were
desyrous
too
professe
their
names
among
the
protestant
princes
.
When
theis
things
were
knowen
,
the
prince
of
Condeyes
enterpryze
was
so
well
lyked
in
manie
places
of
Fraunce
,
that
within
feawe
dayes
dyuers
Cities
yeelded
themselues
too
him
,
and
ioyned
with
him
in
societie
of
the
warre
.
Among
those
were
Orleance
,
Bloys
,
Towres
,
Burgis
,
Roan
,
Lyons
,
Vien
,
Valentia
,
Nemowrs
,
and
Mountalbon
:
which
were
the
beginners
of
the
Ciuill
warre
,
wherof
the
butcherly
slawghter
of
Vassey
is
certeinly
knowen
too
haue
bin
the
cawse
.
Now
when
as
on
the
part
of
the
protestants
,
the
cheef
charge
of
the
warres
was
by
comon
consent
of
all
men
put
too
the
Prince
of
Condey
:
soodeinly
the
Prince
with
lyke
consent
of
all
men
,
surrendered
the
charge
of
his
gouernment
too
the
Admirall
:
and
for
the
singular
opinion
that
was
had
of
his
Iustice
,
grauitie
and
wisdome
,
ordeyned
him
too
bee
his
leeuetennant
and
deputie
too
rule
in
his
sted
.
Whyle
these
things
were
a
doing
,
the
Queene
moother
began
too
treate
of
peace
,
for
the
dooing
wherof
she
desired
the
Prince
of
Condey
too
come
too
her
tent
:
and
to
graunte
hir
the
vse
of
Boigencie
,
for
a
few
dayes
,
which
towne
hath
a
bridge
ouer
the
riuer
of
Loyre
,
and
therfore
was
(
as
shee
sayd
)
most
fit
for
communication
.
The
Prince
vppon
single
promis
made
vntoo
him
,
without
taking
of
any
pledges
,
but
onely
trusting
to
the
faythfulnesse
of
his
brother
the
King
of
Nauarre
,
and
too
the
promises
of
the
Queene
mother
,
went
to
their
Campe
.
Only
he
desired
the
Queene
,
that
the
Cunstable
,
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
&
the
marshall
of
S.
Andrewes
,
(
which
were
comonly
called
the
three
rooters
vp
of
the
comon
weale
)
shoulde
depart
out
of
the
Campe
whyle
that
communication
lasted
.
Which
thing
being
doone
the
garrison
was
withdrawen
out
of
Boigencie
and
the
towne
deliuered
to
the
Queene
.
Byandby
shee
manned
it
,
and
pretending
a
communication
,
to
outward
showe
of
peace
&
reconcylement
,
not
only
reteyned
the
Prince
,
but
also
tooke
the
towne
and
fortified
it
with
all
things
needfull
for
the
warre
.
With
which
trecherie
the
Admirall
being
sore
moued
,
determined
not
to
fayle
in
his
dewtie
towards
the
Prince
,
but
went
out
of
hand
with
his
horsemen
to
the
Campe
of
his
aduersaries
,
and
strake
such
a
terrour
into
them
,
that
the
Queene
commaunded
the
Prince
too
be
deliuered
immediatly
.
And
within
a
fewe
dayes
after
,
the
Admirall
leading
his
armie
too
Boigencie
woone
the
towne
by
force
,
&
not
without
somme
losse
of
his
owne
people
,
recouered
it
agein
.
Abowt
the
same
tyme
,
the
Admiralls
eldest
sonne
named
Iasper
being
consumed
with
sicknesse
,
dyed
at
Orleance
scarce
nyne
yeeres
old
,
but
of
singular
towardnesse
,
which
cawsed
the
Admirall
too
take
his
death
very
sore
to
hart
,
In
the
meane
whyle
the
Gwysians
seeing
them selues
forsaken
of
many
Frenchmen
whom
the
cace
concerned
,
and
perceyuing
that
the
most
part
fauored
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
mynded
too
seeke
help
of
forren
Realmes
.
And
therfore
sending
money
into
Swisserland
and
into
Germanie
,
they
hyred
footmen
of
the
one
,
&
horsmen
of
the
other
:
which
thing
the
Admirall
did
oftentimes
avow
to
be
a
most
sure
proof
of
treason
,
and
of
their
enemy
like
mind
to
the
Crowne
of
Fraunce
.
For
whither
the
cace
(
quoth
he
)
bee
to
bee
decyded
by
the
auncient
maner
of
the
Realme
,
there
are
publike
decrees
in
force
made
by
act
of
parlament
,
the
authoritie
wherof
is
certeinly
knowen
to
haue
bin
highest
,
euer
since
the
settling
of
the
kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
or
if
the
matter
bee
to
bee
committed
to
rightful
indifferencie
of
chalenge
,
who
seeth
not
that
the
greater
part
of
Fraunce
is
on
our
side
?
and
that
to
call
in
forrein
forces
to
oppresse
our
owne
countrymen
,
is
not
the
nature
of
a
frenchman
,
but
the
token
of
a
barbarous
and
sauage
mind
,
and
a
proof
of
an
enemylyke
hart
.
Notwithstanding
,
lest
the
Admiral
might
disappoynt
the
willingnes
of
so
many
of
his
freends
,
&
the
expectation
of
so
many
cities
,
which
had
ioyned
in
freendship
with
him
:
forasmuch
as
he
was
aduertized
late
afore
of
the
singular
good
wil
of
certeine
Germane
Princes
towards
the
churches
of
Fraunce
,
to
the
intent
to
match
straungers
ageinst
straungers
:
he
desired
his
brother
the
Andelot
to
go
to
those
Princes
,
and
to
sew
to
them
for
their
helpe
:
(
which
thing
he
did
)
and
within
three
monethes
after
,
brought
three
thowsand
horsmen
and
six
thowsand
footemen
with
him
into
Fraunce
.
While
theis
things
were
adoing
,
word
was
brought
to
the
Admiral
,
that
certein
battering
peeces
of
ordinance
,
and
a
great
quantity
of
gunpowlder
,
were
going
towards
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
lying
then
at
the
seege
of
Burgis
,
too
assault
the
Citie
withall
:
and
that
the
Mayster
of
that
ordinance
was
one
Thonne
a
Lorreiner
,
a
man
not
ignorant
of
warlike
affayres
,
who
for
the
better
safecondit
of
them
,
had
six
troopes
of
horsmen
and
certeine
antsignes
of
footemen
assigned
vnto
him
.
Uppon
the
intelligence
herof
,
the
Admiral
hauing
gotten
occasion
of
a
noble
exployt
,
hied
him
thitherward
apace
,
accompanyed
with
a
feawe
horsmen
.
His
enemies
did
scarsly
abyde
the
first
brunt
,
insomuch
that
the
most
part
of
them
began
to
throw
away
their
weapons
,
and
too
take
them
to
their
legges
.
The
footemen
vnharnished
their
horses
out
of
the
carts
,
and
leauing
the
Gunnes
and
the
waggons
loden
with
Gunpowlder
,
followed
after
their
fellowes
that
were
fled
afore
them
.
Thonne
was
taken
prisoner
fighting
.
The
Admiral
hauing
gotten
so
great
a
pray
,
called
his
witts
about
him
how
he
might
cary
it
away
,
being
vtterly
destitute
of
drawghthorses
.
Therfore
he
did
as
necessitie
counselled
him
,
he
ouercharged
the
peeces
with
powlder
and
put
fire
too
them
to
breake
them
,
which
when
it
tooke
not
place
,
he
pyled
vp
the
barrels
of
powlder
toogether
with
the
Gunnes
and
all
the
carts
and
wagons
into
one
place
,
and
putting
fire
too
the
powlder
,
made
a
terrible
thundercracke
in
the
ayre
,
and
marred
what
he
could
with
burning
.
Assoone
as
Mounsyre
d'Andelot
was
returned
out
of
Germanie
,
and
had
brought
that
sayd
three
thowsand
horsmen
and
six
thousand
footemen
with
him
:
the
Prince
of
Condey
hauing
gathered
a
meetly
strong
armie
of
Frenchmen
&
Germanes
,
marched
towards
Paris
.
The
Gwysians
likewise
brought
foorth
their
power
,
(
among
whom
were
the
Swissers
in
whom
was
their
chief
trust
)
&
met
with
our
men
at
an
old
towne
which
is
certeinly
knowen
too
haue
bin
the
dwelling
place
of
the
Druyds
,
&
there
ioyned
battell
the
successe
wherof
was
indifferent
on
both
sids
.
For
on
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
side
the
Cunstable
was
taken
prizoner
,
and
on
the
other
side
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
who
was
the
chef
ringleader
as
is
shewed
afore
.
Uppon
the
receyuing
of
this
losse
,
whenas
our
battell
began
too
go
by
the
woors
,
and
many
of
the
footemen
hauing
cast
away
their
weapons
,
partly
laye
slayne
vppon
the
ground
,
and
partly
yeelded
themselues
to
their
enemies
:
the
Admirall
gathering
his
horsmen
togither
into
the
next
woode
,
and
incoraging
them
that
they
should
not
regard
their
liues
more
then
their
religion
,
their
countrie
,
and
their
honour
,
renewed
the
battel
,
wherin
one
of
the
marshalls
of
Fraunce
called
the
marshall
of
S.
Andrewes
,
a
man
of
greate
authoritie
in
the
Court
,
and
Mounsyre
Brosse
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
Lieuetennant
,
and
a
nomber
of
other
Gentlemen
were
forthwith
slayne
.
The
Cunstable
who
was
Generall
of
the
feeld
,
and
of
very
greate
authoritie
,
being
taken
prisoner
by
a
valiant
gentleman
called
William
Steward
of
Vesine
,
&
being
sought
for
by
many
souldyers
that
would
haue
slayne
him
,
was
notwithstanding
saued
by
him
,
for
that
he
was
of
kin
to
the
Admirall
,
and
for
that
the
Prince
of
Condey
was
in
perill
,
and
so
he
was
conueyed
safe
to
Orleance
.
When
things
were
thus
grawen
to
a
mischeef
,
&
all
hope
of
peace
was
past
,
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
incamped
himself
neere
to
Orleance
,
and
assayled
it
very
sore
on
the
one
side
:
during
which
time
the
Admirall
leauing
his
brother
the
Andelot
behynd
him
to
defend
the
Citie
,
tooke
his
iourney
into
Normandie
,
and
beseeged
the
Castle
of
Caen
,
wherinto
the
Marquis
of
Elbewf
one
of
the
Duke
of
Guysis
brother
,
had
in
those
feawe
dayes
retyred
him selfe
:
who
after
the
taking
of
the
Citie
,
began
too
treate
for
composition
,
and
deliuered
vp
the
Castle
with
all
the
armure
and
furniture
thereof
into
the
Admiralls
hand
.
There
was
at
that
tyme
in
the
Duke
of
Gwysis
Campe
a
yong
man
called
Iohn
Poltro
of
the
howse
of
Merey
a
man
of
good
worship
:
who
hauing
imbraced
the
religion
,
&
bin
familiar
many
monethes
with
the
Prince
of
Condeyes
side
,
did
suddenly
take
a
toy
in
his
head
at
Lyons
,
to
kill
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
whome
as
the
butcherly
slaughterman
of
his
countrey
,
and
as
the
author
of
so
greate
mizeries
,
he
was
woont
oftentymes
too
pray
ageinst
moste
bitterly
,
in
all
his
familiar
talke
.
Therefore
hauing
alwayes
this
saying
in
his
mowth
,
what
skills
it
whither
a
man
vse
manlinesse
or
wylinesse
ageinst
his
enemie
?
he
determined
too
go
intoo
his
Camp
as
a
reuolter
,
and
too
hunt
for
opportunitie
too
accomplish
his
deuyce
by
hooke
or
by
crooke
.
For
were
I
bownd
too
him
(
quoth
he
)
eyther
by
way
of
seruis
,
or
by
any
kind
of
benefyte
,
or
by
any
othe
,
nothing
in
the
world
should
make
mee
too
hazard
my
good
name
.
But
seing
that
no
bond
tyeth
me
too
him
,
why
should
I
not
imitate
the
prowesse
of
Sceuola
in
his
enterpryze
of
killing
King
Porsenna
?
When
Poltro
had
continued
a
good
whyle
in
this
mynd
in
the
Dukes
Campe
,
at
length
vppon
occasion
offred
,
he
shot
him
throwgh
the
right
shoulder
with
a
pellet
of
leade
,
of
which
wound
he
dyed
within
feawe
dayes
after
,
and
when
he
was
once
deade
,
peace
did
forthwith
growe
too
effect
without
any
stoppe
,
so
as
the
Edict
was
renewed
,
and
libertie
of
following
the
religion
was
permitted
vppon
certeine
conditions
,
throwghout
all
Fraunce
.
Wheruppon
all
men
for
the
moste
part
began
too
reason
,
that
as
Helene
was
to
the
Troianes
,
so
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
was
too
the
Frenchmen
the
cawse
of
all
the
greate
miseries
that
befell
them
,
forasmuch
as
the
warres
were
so
suddeinly
whist
and
extingwished
by
his
death
.
Howbeeit
within
a
feawe
monethes
after
,
when
the
Admirall
came
too
the
Court
by
the
Kings
sending
for
him
,
there
was
a
newe
incounter
stirred
vp
ageinst
him
by
a
woman
.
For
the
Duches
of
Gwyse
falling
downe
humbly
at
the
Kings
feete
,
sewed
with
manie
teares
for
the
reuendgement
of
hir
husbands
murther
,
whereof
shee
auowed
the
Admirall
too
haue
bin
the
author
and
practizer
.
The
Admirall
perceyuing
that
,
and
smelling
that
that
pageant
was
played
by
the
motion
of
a
higher
force
,
too
the
end
that
he
which
could
not
bee
ouercomme
by
battell
,
might
bee
intrapped
by
sum
slightie
conueyance
:
first
shewed
too
the
King
and
his
moother
and
too
all
the
whole
counsell
,
that
Poltro
the
author
of
that
murther
being
alredy
apprehended
,
had
bin
arreigned
and
executed
for
it
,
whither
rightly
or
vnrightly
it
was
no
tyme
as
then
to
debate
,
but
howsoeuer
the
cace
stoode
,
as
greate
a
cryme
as
it
was
,
it
had
bin
sufficiently
,
and
more
than
sufficiently
reuenged
,
by
the
extreme
punishment
of
the
same
Poltro
,
who
was
rent
asunder
alyue
wyth
charyots
at
Paris
.
Moreouer
that
they
had
such
a
condemned
persone
of
him
,
as
not
only
acknowledged
the
deede
,
but
also
glorifyed
and
vaunted
of
it
,
assuring
him selfe
that
that
mynd
was
put
intoo
him
by
God
,
so
as
he
dowted
not
but
that
he
had
doone
acceptable
obedience
to
God
,
and
a
singular
and
beneficiall
good
turne
to
his
countrie
,
in
ridding
such
a
tyrant
out
of
the
world
,
as
was
alwayes
raging
,
alwayes
mad
,
&
alwayes
thirstie
of
christen
blud
.
If
Poltro
had
vttered
any
thing
ageinst
him
vppon
promis
of
pardon
,
or
intyced
by
fayer
woords
,
while
he
was
in
durance
in
the
comon
Iaile
,
he
ought
to
haue
bin
kept
aliue
,
like
as
he
him self
had
requyred
by
many
letters
and
messages
,
while
Poltro
was
yet
alyue
in
the
comon
prizon
,
that
assoone
as
the
warres
were
ended
,
he
might
haue
bin
examined
of
him
by
lawfull
order
of
Iustice
face
to
face
,
wheras
now
,
seeing
he
is
dead
,
nether
his
confession
nor
his
deposition
ought
too
bee
of
any
importance
in
a
cace
of
lyfe
and
death
,
specially
ageinst
a
man
of
such
state
&
calling
as
he
was
in
that
Realme
.
Furthermore
albeeit
that
he
or
any
other
of
his
armie
had
neuer
so
much
inuegled
Poltro
too
that
attempt
:
yit
notwithstanding
could
it
seeme
any
heynous
fault
for
an
enemie
to
deale
enemylike
with
his
enemie
?
Had
there
bin
any
trewce
at
that
tyme
,
or
was
the
Admirall
bownd
too
him
by
any
couenant
or
othe
?
To
what
purpoze
should
Capteines
keepe
gards
abowt
them
in
their
Campes
,
(
but
too
looke
too
the
safety
of
their
persones
?
)
To
be
short
,
though
none
of
these
things
were
:
yit
since
that
tyme
peace
had
bin
reconcyled
,
not
only
betweene
the
souldiers
of
both
parts
,
but
also
much
more
betweene
the
capteines
and
officers
of
the
bands
,
too
the
benefyte
of
the
comon
weale
,
too
the
which
publike
benefite
and
ciuill
concord
,
this
newe
kinde
of
quarreling
was
a
hinderance
.
And
if
they
would
needes
haue
that
murther
sifted
out
too
the
bottome
:
he
also
would
request
the
King
,
that
he
on
his
syde
might
haue
leaue
too
preferre
iudytements
agaynst
them
likewise
.
For
it
might
bee
easily
proued
,
that
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
had
executed
vnlawfull
crueltie
ageinst
the
kings
subiects
,
&
broken
all
the
holie
decrees
of
the
realme
confirmed
by
the
kings
Edict
,
and
also
committed
hygh
treason
by
making
warre
of
his
owne
priuate
authoritie
,
and
by
vsurping
the
whole
state
of
the
realme
:
and
finally
had
confounded
all
lawes
of
God
and
man
,
&
bin
the
firebrond
of
all
the
great
broyles
wherewith
Fraunce
had
burned
abowt
13.
moonethes
.
Uppon
the
heering
of
this
oration
of
the
Admiralles
,
howbeeit
that
the
same
processe
was
renewed
dyuers
tymes
by
the
Gwisians
afterward
,
at
length
the
king
summoned
the
princes
and
noblemen
of
his
realme
,
toogither
with
his
graue
counsellers
and
men
of
cheefest
authoritie
,
too
meete
at
the
Citie
of
Molins
.
The
Cardinall
of
Lorreine
taking
too
him
his
brothers
widowe
,
willed
hir
too
speake
for
that
parte
:
and
therwithall
gaue
the
Admiral
leaue
too
answer
what
he
could
in
his
defence
.
When
the
matter
had
bin
debated
on
bothe
sides
,
the
king
by
the
aduice
of
his
counsellers
,
demaunded
of
them
whither
there
were
any
of
that
assembly
,
whom
they
thowght
partiall
and
meete
too
bee
remoued
.
They
answered
that
they
lyked
well
of
all
.
Then
he
demaunded
agein
,
whither
their
desire
was
that
he
should
doo
them
iustice
in
that
cace
,
&
whither
they
woold
promis
too
stand
too
his
iudgment
or
no.
When
bothe
parties
had
answered
that
they
woold
verye
willingly
stand
too
the
kings
determinacion
:
within
a
feawe
dayes
after
,
the
.29
.
day
of
Ianuarie
1566
,
sentence
was
giuen
woord
for
woord
in
forme
following
.
The
King
hauing
herd
bothe
the
parties
,
and
considered
the
matter
with
his
Counsell
,
and
perceyuing
that
the
verdites
and
opynions
of
his
Peeres
and
Counsellers
consented
and
agreed
all
in
one
withowt
anie
variablenesse
:
giueth
definitiue
sentence
that
the
Admirall
Shattilion
seemeth
cleere
and
giltlesse
of
the
murthering
of
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
and
therof
dooth
vtterly
acquit
him
.
And
therwithall
commaundeth
his
Attourney
generall
,
&
all
others
too
whom
such
matters
belong
,
neuer
to
speake
more
of
it
.
Furthermore
he
forbiddeth
them
that
had
bin
the
aduersarie
parties
in
that
cace
,
&
all
other
his
subiects
,
too
bee
so
bold
as
too
haue
any
speeche
therof
,
&
likewyse
all
iudges
&
ministers
of
Iustice
,
too
suffer
that
matter
to
be
called
anie
more
in
question
before
them
:
giuing
all
men
too
vnderstand
,
that
he
hath
taken
bothe
the
parties
intoo
his
custodie
&
protection
:
and
therfore
giueth
the
parties
streight
charge
,
that
they
should
thensforth
liue
quietly
&
frendly
vnder
his
obeisance
,
&
not
practyze
any
thing
one
ageinst
another
.
If
any
of
the
kinsfolk
,
countrifolk
,
acquaintance
,
or
frends
of
the
aduersary
parties
do
ageinst
this
Decree
:
he
shal
be
taken
for
giltie
of
hygh
treason
as
a
traytor
too
the
kings
person
,
in
violating
the
publik
peace
&
tranquillitie
.
And
therfore
it
is
his
pleasure
that
this
sentence
be
proclaimed
&
inrolled
in
al
his
Courts
of
Iustice
.
But
now
must
wee
returne
ageine
to
the
dooings
of
the
former
yeere
.
Within
a
feawe
moonethes
after
,
there
happened
a
thing
which
(
too
my
seeming
)
is
not
too
bee
let
passe
,
bycawse
it
may
bee
a
record
of
a
moste
gentle
and
meeld
disposition
.
There
was
a
certeine
gentleman
called
Hamberuillier
borne
of
a
woorshipfull
howse
,
whom
the
Admirall
had
interteyned
manie
yeeres
in
howsehold
very
familiarly
,
and
had
vsed
his
seruis
in
his
affayres
of
most
credit
and
estimation
.
A
letter
of
this
mannes
was
intercepted
in
the
Court
,
wherin
he
wrate
too
certein
whom
it
is
not
requysite
too
name
at
this
present
,
that
he
woold
within
feawe
dayes
dispatch
the
matter
that
was
inioyned
him
,
and
giue
the
Admirall
a
drink
too
cast
him
intoo
a
dead
sleepe
.
When
this
letter
was
browght
too
the
Admiralles
hand
,
he
sent
for
the
partie
,
and
willed
him
too
wryte
certein
verses
with
his
owne
hand
in
a
paper
that
was
redie
there
:
and
when
he
had
compared
them
bothe
toogither
,
he
asked
him
whither
he
acknowledged
the
letter
too
bee
his
hand
or
no.
Which
when
he
had
acknowledged
,
being
conuicted
of
the
wicked
deede
by
his
owne
conscience
,
he
kneeled
downe
byandby
,
and
besowght
his
mayster
of
mercie
.
The
Admirall
answered
that
he
forgaue
him
,
howbeeit
vppon
condicion
that
he
should
voyd
his
howse
out
of
hand
,
and
neuer
comme
in
his
syght
more
.
Herafter
wee
must
retyre
backe
too
the
practizes
of
the
Court
the
last
yeere
.
For
within
a
feawe
moonethes
after
the
Proclayming
of
the
peace
,
the
Queene
Moother
determined
too
make
a
progresse
too
Baion
,
to
see
hir
sonne
in
Lawe
the
King
of
Spayne
,
and
too
carrye
hir
sonnes
thither
with
hir
for
a
certeine
purpoze
,
which
being
knowen
too
feaw
at
that
time
,
did
afterward
burst
owt
in
tragicall
euents
.
First
therfore
shee
tooke
hir
iourney
to
Lyons
,
which
vnto
that
tyme
was
in
the
power
of
the
protestants
,
by
reason
of
the
multitude
of
Citizens
and
Countrie
folkes
that
fauored
the
Religion
therabowts
.
As
soone
as
shee
came
thither
,
shee
gathered
toogither
the
Italian
Carpenters
&
Masons
euerywhere
,
and
commaunded
a
hold
(
which
the
Italians
doo
comonly
call
a
Citadell
)
too
bee
bwilded
in
all
haste
vppon
the
next
hil
,
too
ouerlooke
the
towne
.
A
little
before
,
the
plage
began
too
growe
whot
,
&
had
now
cawght
hold
of
the
Courtyers
:
and
yit
the
Queene
could
not
bee
perswaded
too
remoue
hir
children
from
thence
,
vntil
shee
had
seene
the
fowndacion
of
the
Hold
laid
.
When
shee
saw
that
the
plage
was
crept
euen
into
the
Court
,
Shee
made
one
Mounsyre
Lossie
gouerner
of
Lyons
,
a
cruell
and
barbarous
man
,
and
a
most
deadly
enemy
of
Religion
,
appoynting
him
a
garrison
of
certein
prowd
and
ruffianly
souldyers
,
too
vex
the
Citizens
(
which
were
giuen
too
religion
)
wyth
continewall
wrongs
and
despites
.
Afterward
,
which
way
so
euer
the
king
made
his
progresse
with
that
greate
trayne
,
intoo
whatsoeuer
Citie
,
towne
,
village
,
or
Manour
he
was
browght
:
woonderfull
it
is
too
report
,
but
yit
most
certeinly
knowen
and
talked
of
in
all
mennes
mowthes
,
so
greate
a
plage
followed
the
kings
traine
continewally
,
that
for
the
space
of
three
moonethes
toogither
,
he
neuer
lodged
in
any
howse
,
but
the
present
perill
of
the
plage
draue
him
owt
of
it
agein
.
Whyle
theis
things
were
a
doing
,
&
the
Queene
mother
communicated
hir
deuyces
with
hir
dawghter
the
Queene
of
Spayne
,
and
with
the
king
hir
husbandes
Ambassadours
:
the
Marshall
Memorancie
(
whom
the
king
had
left
gouernour
of
Paris
)
was
certifyed
that
the
Gwisians
wrowght
secret
practizes
,
too
stirre
vp
the
comons
of
Paris
ageinst
such
as
professed
the
trew
and
vncorrupted
religion
:
and
that
the
Cardinall
of
Lorrein
woold
bee
there
within
a
day
or
twayne
with
a
greate
trayne
of
armed
men
.
It
had
bin
forbidden
dyuers
tymes
afore
by
the
kings
Proclamations
,
that
no
man
should
iourney
with
hargabusse
or
pistolet
,
or
haue
anie
abowt
him
.
When
it
was
told
the
Marshall
that
the
Cardinall
and
his
companie
were
come
intoo
the
Citie
,
armed
with
such
weapons
:
by
and
by
he
went
and
met
him
with
his
garrison
,
and
commaunded
them
too
lay
away
their
weapons
.
Which
dooing
of
his
,
the
Cardinall
and
his
brothers
sonne
the
yoong
Duke
of
Gwyse
taking
in
greate
despyte
and
reproche
,
were
herd
oftentymes
afterward
too
say
,
that
that
deede
should
cost
Memorancie
his
lyfe
.
When
this
vprore
was
stirred
vp
in
the
Citie
,
where
the
Cardinall
myght
haue
rayzed
threescore
thowsand
armed
men
in
one
day
too
haue
slayne
Memorancie
:
Memorancie
thought
it
good
too
call
his
freends
abowt
him
,
and
specially
the
Admirall
,
who
being
accompanied
with
three
hundred
horsmen
or
therabowts
,
came
too
Paris
the
.22
.
day
of
Ianuarie
:
which
thing
did
so
scare
the
feeble
harted
people
giuen
woonderfully
too
superstition
,
and
cheefly
the
Preests
,
Moonks
,
&
the
Canons
of
the
Cathedrall
Churche
,
that
a
great
sort
of
them
began
too
deuyze
how
too
flee
away
,
The
next
day
Memorancie
sent
for
the
prouostes
of
the
Parlament
,
and
for
such
as
bare
cheef
authoritie
at
that
tyme
in
the
Citie
,
home
too
his
howse
.
Too
whom
in
the
presence
of
the
Admirall
,
he
spake
of
the
Cardinall
of
Lorreines
ouerbold
and
seditiows
enterpryzes
,
and
of
the
flocking
toogither
of
certeine
Citizens
,
telling
them
that
forasmuch
as
they
had
giuen
it
owt
euerywhere
,
that
the
Admirall
leuyed
men
of
warre
,
and
practized
meanes
too
sacke
that
riche
Citie
,
whyle
the
king
was
farre
of
in
his
progresse
:
he
thowght
it
best
too
call
him
owt
before
them
,
that
he
myght
tell
them
playnely
what
he
mynded
too
doo
.
Then
,
I
knowe
wellynough
alredy
(
quod
the
Admirall
)
what
things
are
spred
abrode
of
mee
by
leawde
and
maliciowse
persones
,
as
who
shoulde
say
,
I
sowght
meanes
too
sacke
this
Citie
,
which
is
knowen
too
bee
the
cheef
fortresse
of
the
Realme
,
and
the
Noblest
lyght
of
all
Fraunce
.
Theis
kynd
of
dealings
are
meete
for
such
,
as
chalendge
I
wote
not
what
kynd
of
ryght
too
the
succession
of
the
Crowne
,
and
beare
the
worlde
in
hande
that
certeine
Dukedommes
and
Erldommes
owght
too
bee
restored
vnto
them
.
As
for
mee
,
I
put
yow
owt
of
dowt
,
I
clayme
not
anie
maner
of
ryght
too
the
Kingdome
,
nor
too
anie
parte
therof
.
And
if
I
did
,
I
beleeue
there
was
neuer
any
Nobleman
of
Fraunce
this
fyue
hundred
yeeres
,
that
had
so
good
oportunitie
offered
him
too
trubble
the
state
.
Yee
remember
howe
greate
occasion
of
settyng
the
matter
abroche
,
I
had
at
such
tyme
as
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
was
slayne
,
and
the
Cunstable
my
prizoner
at
Orleance
,
if
I
had
bin
minded
too
rebell
.
But
I
neuer
sewed
more
earnestlye
too
the
Queene
Mother
,
and
too
the
Kings
Counsell
for
peace
,
than
when
I
was
in
my
cheefest
prosperitie
.
Who
knoweth
not
that
I
sowght
peace
with
moste
earnest
intreatance
and
sewte
,
at
such
tyme
as
a
nomber
of
noble
Cities
had
alredye
put
themselues
vnder
my
protection
,
and
manie
mo
bothe
of
Normandie
and
little
Brittaine
,
offred
mee
their
freendshippe
and
societie
vnrequested
?
Who
knoweth
not
that
wheras
vppon
the
conclusion
of
the
peace
,
I
myghte
haue
serued
myne
owne
turne
by
ambitiowse
crauing
of
roomes
of
authoritye
and
honoure
at
the
Kings
hand
,
yit
I
choze
rather
too
get
mee
home
,
and
there
too
leade
a
priuate
lyfe
modestly
and
quietly
vntoo
this
day
?
But
too
let
theis
things
passe
,
and
too
go
forward
with
the
things
that
wee
haue
in
hand
,
being
called
by
the
Marshall
Memorancie
,
I
made
haste
too
comme
vnto
yow
:
not
of
purpoze
too
make
anie
innouation
or
trubble
in
anie
thing
:
but
rather
too
quenche
such
broyles
,
as
were
lyke
too
bee
stirred
vp
a
late
throwgh
somme
mennes
ouerboldnesse
.
I
thinke
there
is
none
of
you
all
but
he
knoweth
,
how
greate
credit
the
professers
of
the
purer
Religion
doo
giue
mee
.
Surely
a
nomber
of
them
being
moued
with
theis
straunge
rumors
,
and
put
in
feare
throwgh
the
factiows
deuyces
and
enterpryzes
of
the
Gwisians
resort
vntoo
mee
dayly
,
bringing
letters
intercepted
,
concerning
the
flocking
toogither
of
certeine
vndercapteines
,
which
commaund
their
old
souldyers
too
bee
redye
with
their
armour
,
that
they
may
step
foorth
owt
of
hand
whensoeuer
neede
shall
requyre
.
What
needeth
manie
woords
?
Certein
letters
were
intercepted
written
intoo
Normandie
,
and
fathered
vpon
the
authoritie
of
the
Queene
moother
,
a
Copie
wherof
I
bring
yow
here
owt
of
myne
owne
cofers
,
and
will
reherce
one
poynt
therof
which
is
this
.
There
is
no
fitter
way
too
restore
the
Crowne
of
Fraunce
too
such
as
haue
ryght
too
it
by
auncient
inheritance
,
and
too
destroy
the
howse
&
ofspring
of
Valoys
,
than
by
killing
all
the
Hugonotes
which
are
the
vpholders
therof
.
Therfore
wee
must
confiscate
their
goodes
,
that
the
monny
which
is
made
of
them
may
yeeld
vs
armour
and
treazure
.
And
if
the
Hugonotes
go
too
law
for
it
:
the
matter
shal
be
so
handled
in
iudgment
,
as
they
shall
haue
smal
list
too
make
any
sewt
for
domages
.
Besydes
this
,
what
shall
I
speake
of
the
slawghters
and
robberies
that
are
committed
almost
day
by
day
?
It
is
sufficiently
knowen
,
that
since
the
proclayming
of
the
peace
,
aboue
.500
.
protestants
haue
bin
slayne
in
sundrie
places
,
and
yit
the
magistrates
haue
not
punished
the
murther
of
anie
one
of
them
.
They
that
complayne
of
it
too
the
king
or
the
Queene
moother
,
receyue
nothing
but
words
,
or
sum
emptie
sheete
of
paper
,
or
els
sum
skin
of
parchment
.
Who
knoweth
not
that
a
greate
slaughter
was
made
alate
of
the
protestants
,
openly
in
the
citie
of
Turon
,
yea
euen
with
standerd
and
antsignes
displayed
,
euen
in
the
presence
of
him
whom
the
Duke
Mompaunser
had
sent
thither
to
make
peace
?
And
yit
for
all
this
,
it
is
said
that
diuers
of
your
clergimen
are
striken
with
so
great
feare
of
this
my
comming
into
the
citie
,
that
they
consult
how
to
forsake
it
,
yit
notwithstanding
,
there
is
no
place
in
al
Fraunce
,
no
towne
so
strong
,
no
hold
,
no
village
,
where
Preests
dwell
more
safe
and
sure
,
or
where
they
exercyze
their
ceremonies
and
massings
more
freely
,
then
in
mine
owne
manour
of
Shatilion
.
Uppon
the
making
of
this
oration
the
company
was
dismissed
.
The
next
day
came
abowt
a
thirtie
of
the
cheefe
merchantmen
of
Paris
to
Memorancy
,
and
after
them
the
Bishop
of
Paris
with
the
Chauncelour
of
the
vniuersity
and
a
great
rable
of
Clergimen
:
to
whom
the
Admiral
speaking
very
courteously
,
bad
them
be
all
of
good
cheere
,
Also
within
a
feawe
dayes
after
,
being
brought
into
the
Parlamenthowse
,
he
confirmed
with
many
words
,
that
he
wished
nothing
more
then
the
concord
and
quietnes
of
the
Citizens
,
nor
vndertooke
that
iourney
vppon
any
other
purpose
,
then
that
,
requyring
them
likewize
,
that
the
Citie
might
be
ordered
peaceably
and
quietly
.
When
things
were
thus
set
at
a
stay
,
the
Admirall
at
his
returne
home
was
certified
by
his
friends
,
that
one
May
a
man
of
bace
calling
which
had
a
ferme
not
farer
from
the
castle
of
Shatilion
,
&
played
the
theefe
vnder
pretence
of
Inkeping
,
was
hyred
by
the
Duke
of
Awmall
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
brother
,
to
lay
wayt
for
him
,
if
he
happened
to
go
abrode
any
whither
a
hunting
,
&
that
he
had
paied
him
a
hundred
crownes
aforehand
in
that
respect
,
&
also
giuen
him
a
very
goodly
great
horse
.
To
the
furtherance
herof
came
this
also
,
that
the
Admiral
being
often
told
of
his
theeuery
,
had
threatened
him
to
commit
him
vppon
felonie
,
if
he
herd
of
those
things
any
more
,
&
hauing
gotten
sufficient
witnesses
had
lately
before
indited
him
of
diuers
robberies
in
the
parlament
of
Paris
.
When
Mayes
trecherie
was
knowen
&
bewrayed
to
the
Admiral
:
there
was
a
bayt
laid
for
him
,
and
being
apprehended
within
feawe
daies
after
,
&
brought
forth
to
his
arreignement
at
Paris
,
he
began
to
appeache
the
Admiral
&
diuers
others
,
as
though
they
had
delt
with
him
to
haue
killed
the
Queene
mother
,
and
had
promised
him
a
great
reward
for
so
dooing
.
Notwithstanding
the
Senators
of
the
parlament
of
Paris
finding
out
the
slaunder
,
and
cawsing
the
indytement
of
felonie
too
bee
followed
ageinst
him
,
condemned
him
too
death
,
according
to
which
sentence
he
was
executed
vppon
the
wheele
in
the
cheef
streete
of
all
Paris
.
Ere
long
after
,
the
Prince
of
Condey
had
a
sonne
borne
,
to
whom
the
King
intended
to
be
Godfather
,
&
to
giue
him
his
name
,
after
the
accustomed
maner
.
But
forasmuchas
he
could
not
wel
do
it
bycause
of
his
religion
,
it
pleazed
him
to
giue
the
honour
therof
to
the
Admiral
,
willing
him
to
cawse
the
infant
to
be
baptized
&
christened
in
his
name
:
which
thing
was
doone
with
exceeding
great
pomp
&
royall
preparation
,
as
is
wont
to
be
in
Princes
Courts
.
For
at
the
feast
,
a
table
was
laid
for
the
Admirall
as
if
it
had
bin
for
the
King
himself
,
wherat
he
sat
alone
as
the
King
is
wont
to
do
,
&
was
serued
as
a
King
,
which
dealing
all
men
constrewed
to
be
a
sure
token
of
the
Kings
singular
good
will
towards
him
.
Anon
after
,
tidings
was
brought
that
Ferdinando
Duke
of
Alua
was
comming
with
an
hoste
into
nether
Dutchland
by
the
Spanish
Kings
commission
&
commaundement
,
to
suppresse
the
vprores
that
were
raised
ther
for
religions
sake
.
Now
forasmuchas
he
was
to
conuey
his
army
by
the
borders
of
Fraunce
,
the
Admiral
sitting
with
the
Kings
counsel
,
desired
that
regard
might
be
had
of
Burgundy
,
and
that
a
garrison
might
be
sent
thither
for
defence
of
the
countrie
,
rather
of
Swissers
than
of
Frenchmen
,
lest
perhaps
sum
broyle
might
be
made
for
religions
sake
.
And
it
was
comonly
thought
at
that
time
,
that
the
said
army
of
Swissers
,
which
consisted
of
six
thowsand
men
,
were
for
none
other
purpoze
than
to
withstand
the
Duke
of
Aluaze
force
,
if
he
should
attempt
any
thing
in
the
marches
of
Burgundie
.
But
anon
after
,
the
Prince
of
Rochsurion
a
Prince
of
the
Kings
blud
,
wrate
to
the
Admirall
,
desiring
him
to
send
him
priuily
sum
freend
of
his
whom
he
might
best
trust
,
and
he
would
bewray
such
things
vnto
him
as
did
very
greatly
concerne
his
welfare
,
&
were
not
to
be
vttered
to
all
mennes
hearing
.
And
so
within
a
feawe
daies
after
,
the
Prince
of
Rochsurion
being
freend
to
the
Prince
of
Condey
by
reason
of
his
alyance
too
the
Kings
howse
,
bewrayed
vntoo
him
secretly
,
how
consultation
was
had
at
Baion
,
to
extingwish
the
religion
comonly
called
the
reformed
religion
,
&
to
oppresse
such
as
were
the
professers
therof
:
and
that
the
hyring
of
the
Swissers
vnder
colour
of
fortifying
the
fruntiers
of
Fraunce
ageinst
the
Duke
of
Aluaze
power
,
was
for
the
same
purpoze
.
The
same
tyme
the
Admiral
was
aduertized
both
by
letters
and
by
woord
of
mowth
at
many
mennes
hands
,
that
the
armie
of
the
Swissers
was
conueyed
into
the
borders
of
Fraunce
,
and
into
the
innermore
part
of
Burgundie
.
Uppon
knowledge
wherof
,
first
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
&
afterward
the
Admiral
himselfe
went
to
the
Court
,
and
told
the
King
,
the
Queene
mother
,
and
the
Counsell
,
that
they
sawe
no
sufficient
cause
to
bring
these
armies
of
Swissers
into
the
Realm
,
except
it
were
perchaunce
to
oppresse
them
&
a
nomber
of
other
honorable
howses
,
which
professed
the
religion
:
neuerthelesse
that
the
number
of
such
as
had
professed
themselues
to
be
of
the
religion
,
was
greater
than
it
was
comonly
taken
too
be
:
whereof
they
had
tryal
in
the
last
warres
,
&
therfore
that
if
they
perceyued
their
enemies
to
attempt
any
innouation
of
things
,
they
would
be
euen
with
them
,
and
not
suffer
themselues
to
be
murthered
at
those
cutthrots
hands
:
wherfore
they
prayed
and
besowght
the
Kings
maiestie
,
to
be
moued
with
compassion
,
eyther
towards
so
many
howses
of
honour
and
worship
,
or
at
leastwise
towards
his
afflicted
countrie
,
and
the
forlorne
people
of
Fraunce
.
Being
shaken
of
in
the
Court
,
&
vnhonorably
delt
with
,
and
moreouer
vnderstanding
themselues
to
be
in
great
daunger
of
their
liues
,
they
tooke
counsell
,
not
to
faile
themselues
&
so
many
christian
churches
,
specially
at
the
request
of
the
most
part
of
the
nobilitie
&
gentlemen
,
and
at
the
earnest
intreatance
of
an
innumerable
sort
of
their
good
countrymen
,
which
complained
that
they
were
no
longer
able
to
abide
the
wrongs
,
wherwith
they
were
continually
vexed
at
the
Magistrats
hands
.
When
they
had
determined
vppon
that
poynt
,
forasmuchas
they
perceyued
tkat
the
Kings
name
would
beare
a
singular
sway
among
the
cities
,
and
that
therfore
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
had
in
the
former
warres
indeuered
to
haue
the
King
in
his
owne
tuicion
:
they
communicated
their
intent
to
very
few
,
and
tooke
their
iourney
priuily
to
the
court
,
to
see
if
they
could
by
any
meanes
conuey
the
King
away
from
the
custodie
of
the
Queene
moother
and
of
the
Gwyses
,
that
they
might
prouide
for
the
comon
peace
and
concord
,
by
remouing
vngracious
counsell
from
him
.
But
being
bewrayed
of
one
of
their
confederacie
,
they
lost
the
opportunity
of
bringing
that
matter
to
passe
:
by
reason
wherof
they
were
driuen
to
trye
the
matter
by
open
warre
.
When
they
came
at
Paris
,
they
mustred
their
adherents
,
&
found
that
there
were
on
their
side
sumwhat
lesse
then
a
thousand
horsmen
,
&
about
a
threehundred
footmen
.
For
the
Andelot
had
caried
away
the
most
part
of
his
armie
with
him
too
Poysye
the
day
before
,
to
cut
of
vittels
from
the
Parisians
by
taking
the
bridg
ouer
the
riuer
of
Sean
,
There
went
out
of
Paris
fifteene
thowsand
footmen
,
and
mo
then
six
thowsand
horsmen
,
vnder
the
Cunstable
,
who
ioyning
battel
with
them
was
sore
wownded
,
and
died
within
feawe
dayes
after
.
In
that
battell
a
man
might
haue
seene
the
singular
woorking
of
God
in
preseruing
the
Admiral
.
For
wheras
he
rode
vppon
an
ouerfeerce
horse
,
that
would
not
in
any
wise
welneere
be
ruled
,
his
muzrol
brake
asunder
,
&
his
horse
caried
him
twice
through
the
battell
of
his
enemies
where
they
were
thickest
,
and
yit
he
was
not
hurt
at
all
,
notwithstanding
that
the
pistolets
discharged
their
shot
at
him
on
all
sides
,
with
one
of
the
pellets
wherof
his
horse
being
hit
,
suffred
him
to
bring
him
backe
agein
easly
into
his
owne
battell
.
After
the
receyuing
of
greate
losse
on
both
sids
,
but
specially
on
the
prince
of
Condeis
side
,
the
Kings
armie
was
discomfited
and
driuen
into
the
Citie
of
Paris
,
and
it
seemed
best
to
the
prince
and
the
Admirall
to
take
their
way
into
Lorrein
,
too
the
horsmen
that
wer
sent
them
thither
by
the
appointment
of
certein
Princes
of
Germanie
.
For
they
saw
it
was
needefull
agein
to
impugne
forreiners
with
forreiners
.
In
that
iourney
,
being
ouertaken
by
their
aduersaries
with
a
great
power
,
wherof
the
Generall
was
Henry
the
Kings
brother
,
then
Duke
of
Aniow
,
afterward
King
of
Polland
,
&
now
King
of
Fraunce
,
who
preassed
continually
vppon
their
reereward
,
they
oftentimes
receiued
many
harmes
.
When
they
came
into
Lorrein
,
whither
Casimire
the
Palsgraue
electors
sonne
was
come
before
them
with
a
great
host
of
Almaynes
,
there
rose
a
new
occasion
of
trouble
and
incomberance
.
For
there
was
owing
to
those
Almaynes
a
certein
tymes
wages
,
and
there
could
no
meanes
be
fownd
to
pay
any
peece
of
it
,
were
it
neuer
so
litle
.
Out
of
hand
the
Admirall
found
a
remedy
for
that
mischeef
.
He
required
that
all
men
as
well
the
Rascalls
&
Lackeys
of
the
hoste
,
as
the
horsmen
and
the
comon
souldiers
should
be
taxed
by
the
poll
,
so
farre
foorth
as
euery
mannes
abilitie
would
beare
.
First
of
all
the
Admiral
himself
cawsed
fiue
hundred
french
crownes
to
be
told
out
of
his
owne
cofers
.
The
like
was
doone
of
all
the
rest
according
to
euery
mans
abilitie
,
and
Collectors
were
sent
to
euery
band
to
gather
it
vp
.
And
moreouer
looke
whatsoeuer
siluer
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
the
Admirall
,
&
the
Counties
of
Andelot
&
Rochfocawlt
had
of
their
owne
,
it
was
deliuered
eueriwhit
of
it
to
the
Collectors
.
Thus
in
very
small
tyme
there
was
gathered
with
the
singular
good
will
of
al
men
,
the
summe
of
fowerscore
thowsand
pownds
,
&
it
was
iudged
that
by
that
counsell
of
the
Admirals
,
the
whole
army
was
saued
,
which
not
only
was
persecuted
by
the
aduersaries
,
but
also
threatened
by
the
Germanes
their
leagefellowes
and
succorers
.
When
the
powers
of
the
Germanes
&
Frenchmen
were
once
ioyned
togither
,
the
Aduersaries
returning
suddenly
backe
,
went
in
great
iourneies
vnto
Paris
,
which
thing
Henry
the
kings
brother
deemed
to
redownd
to
his
greate
dishonour
.
The
Prince
of
Condeies
men
being
now
wel
cheered
and
full
of
good
hope
,
went
to
beseege
Sharters
,
which
when
they
had
beaten
a
good
while
with
greate
ordinance
,
&
cast
downe
a
peece
of
the
wall
,
insomuch
that
the
Andelot
was
now
redye
to
haue
led
them
to
the
assault
:
suddenly
the
Kings
Trumpetters
came
in
poste
,
and
sending
a
Herault
,
declared
that
peace
was
concluded
.
For
commissioners
had
mette
on
both
sides
neere
Paris
for
the
same
purpoze
certeine
dayes
afore
.
Thus
was
the
seege
broken
vp
,
&
the
Prince
of
Condey
dismissed
his
power
.
Whyle
the
Admirall
was
kept
occupyed
at
that
seege
,
his
wife
(
of
whome
mention
is
made
afore
)
who
in
the
beginning
of
the
warres
had
gotten
hir selfe
with
hir
children
to
Orleance
,
being
consumed
with
sore
sicknesse
,
and
vnable
to
beare
out
the
brunt
of
it
,
departed
out
of
this
life
.
The
Admiral
being
aduertized
of
that
greeuousnesse
of
hir
diseaze
,
had
left
the
Camp
,
and
was
gonne
too
hir
in
poste
,
and
taking
the
best
phisicions
to
him
that
he
could
get
,
performed
the
dewtie
of
a
louing
and
faithfull
husband
towards
hir
.
But
when
he
sawe
that
the
force
of
hir
diseaze
ouercame
the
cunning
of
the
phisicions
:
he
commended
hir
departing
sowle
vnto
God
,
&
withdrew
himself
into
a
parlour
,
whither
a
greate
sort
of
his
freends
&
acquayntance
came
to
him
to
comfort
him
,
of
whom
many
remembered
that
he
vttered
these
words
with
great
sobbing
&
teares
.
Wherin
haue
I
sinned
,
my
God
,
or
wherby
haue
I
deserued
that
thou
shouldest
chastize
me
so
sharply
,
and
ouerlode
me
with
so
many
miseries
at
once
?
Would
God
I
coulde
leade
a
holyer
lyfe
,
and
giue
better
example
of
godlinesse
.
O
holy
father
,
let
thy
mercifulnes
looke
vppon
mee
,
and
asswage
these
my
sorrowes
.
Afterward
being
cheered
by
the
godly
talk
of
his
freends
,
he
commaunded
his
children
too
be
browght
vnto
him
,
&
told
them
that
this
so
greate
losse
of
their
mother
owght
too
bee
a
lesson
too
them
,
that
there
remayned
no
help
for
them
vnder
the
sonne
,
whervntoo
they
myght
trust
or
leane
:
affirming
that
howses
and
Castles
,
were
they
neuer
so
strong
and
stately
,
are
not
giuen
vs
for
dwelling
places
,
but
lent
vs
for
bayting
places
,
nor
tyed
too
vs
for
euer
by
purchace
and
freedeede
,
but
graunted
too
vs
for
a
tyme
vppon
courtesie
:
and
finally
,
that
all
things
in
this
world
are
flightfull
and
transitorie
,
sauing
only
Gods
mercie
,
whervntoo
he
woold
haue
them
too
commit
themselues
wholly
,
casting
away
all
worldly
helpes
,
and
then
should
they
not
neede
too
dowt
,
but
they
should
haue
moste
sure
defence
in
the
same
.
The
next
day
he
called
Grelley
his
childrens
schoolemayster
,
and
told
him
that
he
must
needes
returne
too
the
Camp
,
and
he
could
not
tel
what
should
becomme
of
him
there
.
Wherfore
he
warned
and
desyred
him
,
too
haue
a
care
of
his
children
,
and
too
bring
them
vp
in
religion
,
godlinesse
,
and
all
good
artes
,
as
he
had
oftentymes
charged
him
.
As
concerning
his
Ladie
or
late
wyfe
,
shee
had
alwayes
a
singular
and
earnest
zele
too
religion
as
is
shewed
afore
,
and
was
indewed
with
singular
constancie
in
bearing
owt
all
calamities
,
as
well
hir
owne
as
hir
husbandes
,
so
that
it
is
truly
auowched
of
many
men
,
that
looke
what
promis
shee
made
too
hir
husband
for
the
professing
of
Religion
,
(
as
I
haue
shewed
afore
,
)
shee
performed
the
same
moste
holily
too
the
full
.
There
were
dyuers
vertewes
and
gifts
of
nature
commendable
in
hir
,
and
specially
her
singular
louingnesse
and
liberalitie
towards
the
poore
,
and
towards
sicke
folkes
.
Therfore
inasmuch
as
shee
continewally
visited
the
sowldyers
that
were
browght
eyther
sicke
or
wownded
too
Orleance
:
the
Phisicions
were
plainly
of
opinion
,
that
hir
diseaze
was
cawght
and
bred
cheefly
of
those
ill
sentes
and
stinking
sauoures
.
After
that
the
Peace
was
proclaymed
by
the
sownd
of
Trumpets
in
manie
places
(
as
is
sayd
afore
)
:
the
Admirall
had
scarsly
taryed
three
dayes
at
home
,
but
he
was
certifyed
from
all
partes
of
the
Realme
,
bothe
by
letters
and
by
messengers
from
his
freendes
,
that
the
sayd
Peace
was
not
a
Peace
in
deede
,
but
a
practis
too
renewe
most
horrible
warre
.
For
they
perceyued
so
greate
preparation
for
warres
in
all
places
,
that
if
he
looked
not
too
it
betymes
,
bothe
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
and
himselfe
,
and
all
they
that
had
bin
Capteines
in
the
late
warres
,
should
bee
intrapped
and
abandoned
too
the
crueltie
of
their
enemies
.
The
tokens
wherof
were
theis
,
the
bringing
in
of
garrisons
intoo
Orleans
,
Auxerre
,
Bloys
,
and
the
other
yeelded
Cities
:
the
keeping
of
all
bridges
,
passages
,
and
foordes
:
the
reteyning
still
of
the
men
of
armes
in
the
hart
of
Fraunce
:
and
the
keeping
still
of
twoo
Legions
neere
abowte
Paris
,
vnder
pretence
of
garding
the
Kings
persone
.
Uppon
the
knowledge
of
theis
things
,
he
thowght
it
moste
for
his
safetie
too
withdraw
himself
intoo
the
towne
of
Tanlay
too
his
brother
the
Andelotte
,
and
anon
after
to
Noyers
a
towne
of
meetly
good
strength
in
the
Prince
of
Condeyes
territorie
,
whither
he
had
withdrawen
himself
a
little
afore
with
his
wyfe
and
children
and
his
whole
howsehold
for
the
same
cawse
.
In
that
iourney
there
happened
a
thyng
,
which
bycawse
of
the
straungenesse
therof
,
is
not
to
bee
ouerslipped
.
Not
farre
from
the
towne
of
Molins
as
yee
go
too
Auxerre
,
there
is
a
Lake
:
whervntoo
when
the
Admirall
was
comme
,
a
certein
olde
man
of
his
companie
named
Gripper
,
a
man
skilfull
by
reason
of
manye
long
voyages
by
sea
,
and
singularly
faithfull
and
loouing
towardes
the
Admirall
,
espyed
a
blacke
clowd
driuen
with
the
wynd
beating
very
vehemently
ageinst
that
part
of
the
Lake
:
whervppon
he
began
too
warne
the
Admirall
in
the
heering
of
a
greate
nomber
,
too
put
spurres
too
his
horse
,
and
too
hye
him
apace
too
the
next
village
,
least
they
myght
bee
ouer
taken
with
the
tempest
at
hand
.
As
soone
as
he
had
sayd
so
,
thinking
that
the
rest
had
beleeued
him
and
followed
after
him
,
he
hyed
him
on
afore
.
He
was
scarsly
owt
of
syght
,
but
suddeinly
there
arose
such
a
storme
as
the
Admirall
was
passing
the
narrow
bankes
of
the
Lake
,
that
manie
,
not
only
men
but
also
horses
,
were
throwen
downe
with
the
whirlewynd
,
and
dyuers
hurt
with
the
violence
and
weyght
of
the
Hayle
,
and
had
much
adoo
to
scape
with
their
lyues
.
The
wynd
blew
the
Admiralles
hat
from
his
head
,
which
could
neuer
be
fownd
agein
when
the
tempest
was
ceassed
.
But
one
of
his
companie
deliuered
him
another
:
nether
was
he
(
for
all
that
)
hurt
in
any
part
of
him
sauing
in
his
ancle
,
where
the
vehement
dryuing
of
the
hayle
gaue
him
a
good
pretie
pelt
.
Surely
if
the
violence
of
the
wynd
had
lyen
ageinst
the
head
of
the
lake
,
no
dowt
but
that
day
had
bin
the
last
of
the
Admiralles
lyfe
and
of
all
his
companies
.
When
the
tempest
was
alayd
,
the
Admirall
hauing
comforted
his
companie
,
sayd
:
I
thanke
thee
O
almyghtie
God
,
whose
present
miracle
I
deeme
too
foretoken
,
that
wee
shall
shortly
bee
pressed
,
howbeeit
not
oppressed
with
manie
sorrowes
.
As
soone
as
they
were
comme
too
Noyers
,
they
sent
often
messengers
with
letters
too
the
King
,
informing
him
that
they
were
daylye
aduertized
of
traynes
that
were
layd
for
their
liues
:
wherfore
they
humbly
besowght
his
Maiestie
,
too
haue
respect
of
his
Countrie
alredy
tyred
with
twoo
ciuill
warres
,
and
fynd
meanes
that
the
fyre
which
was
kindled
by
the
Gwisians
,
might
bee
quenched
,
not
with
the
destruction
,
but
rather
with
the
safetie
of
his
Realme
,
and
with
his
owne
wisdomme
.
And
therwithall
the
Admirall
directed
letters
too
Margaret
the
dawghter
of
the
greate
King
Frauncis
,
and
wyfe
too
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
,
(
whom
he
thought
too
bee
of
credit
and
authoritie
too
wey
much
with
the
Queene
moother
)
,
beseeching
hir
with
all
maner
of
intreatance
,
too
deale
so
by
hir
authoritie
,
as
shee
myght
turne
away
the
tempest
that
was
lyke
by
somme
fatal
mischaunce
too
fall
vpon
hir
afflicted
and
forlorne
countrie
.
When
he
sawe
no
roome
left
for
peaceable
remedyes
,
and
vnderstoode
that
Tauanne
(
who
anon
after
was
made
Marshal
of
Fraunce
,
)
was
bringing
of
his
power
priuely
too
Noyers
,
of
purpoze
too
incloze
him
and
his
:
he
counselled
the
Prince
of
Condey
too
get
them
thence
,
and
too
hye
them
too
Rochell
as
fast
as
they
cowld
:
which
towne
by
reason
of
certein
auncient
customes
and
priuiledges
,
had
neuer
receyued
any
garrison
of
sowldyers
vntoo
that
day
.
In
their
way
they
must
needes
passe
the
Riuer
of
Loyre
,
and
in
their
companie
there
was
the
Princesse
of
Condey
with
six
yoong
children
,
wherof
one
was
not
past
a
yeere
old
.
After
them
,
the
next
day
followed
the
yoong
children
of
the
Admirall
and
of
the
Andelotte
,
whom
their
keepers
couueyed
away
in
the
dead
of
the
nyght
by
the
Admiralles
commaundement
,
and
passing
the
riuer
of
Loyre
,
browght
them
too
their
companie
in
the
borders
of
Berrey
.
And
there
happened
a
woonderfull
thing
,
wherof
innumerable
witnesses
and
beholders
remaine
yit
alyue
.
Wheras
the
Prince
of
Condey
thowght
too
haue
taken
twoo
or
three
boates
soodeinly
on
the
hitherside
of
the
water
,
and
so
too
haue
ferryed
ouer
secretly
:
as
soone
as
he
came
at
the
riuers
side
where
it
ronneth
by
the
foote
of
the
hill
of
Sanxerre
,
there
he
fownd
a
foorde
,
at
the
which
abowt
a
fiftie
horsmen
that
wayted
vppon
him
went
ouer
,
when
in
the
meane
whyle
the
Ladye
his
wyfe
with
hir
children
&
hir
whole
Nurcerye
were
conueyed
ouer
in
botes
.
They
were
no
sooner
all
wasted
ouer
,
but
the
riuer
did
so
ryze
in
three
howers
space
,
(
notwithstanding
that
the
day
was
most
fayre
and
cleere
)
:
that
the
people
of
Sanxerre
and
all
the
dwellers
therabowts
,
acknowledged
it
too
bee
the
wonderfull
prouidence
of
God
,
praying
him
to
blisse
those
yoong
children
and
babes

their
Cradles
.
The
King
hauing
knowledge
of
theis
things
,
gaue
commaundment
by
the
counsel
of
his
Courtiers
,
that
all
his
men
of
armes
,
specially
which
were
in
the
borders
of
Santonge
and
Poytiers
,
should
owt
of
hand
go
too
Rochell
:
and
he
sent
his
brother
Henry
(
of
whom
wee
haue
made
mention
afore
,
)
too
leade
thither
as
great
a
power
as
he
myght
.
In
the
meane
season
,
the
Protestants
which
had
returned
home
euery
man
to
his
owne
Citie
&
countrie
,
vppon
the
making
of
the
peace
,
and
vppon
trust
of
the
kings
assurance
:
were
euery
where
oppressed
&
murthered
by
the
multitude
.
While
theis
things
were
a
dooing
,
Ioane
Queene
of
Nauarre
,
who
had
hild
hir self
at
home
in
the
former
warres
,
abhorring
now
the
lawlesse
and
often
renewed
treacherie
:
rayzed
such
power
as
shee
could
with
all
speede
,
and
went
too
Rochell
,
carying
hir
sonne
Henry
with
hir
,
(
to
whom
the
inheritance
of
the
kingdome
of
Nauarre
descended
after
hir
death
)
,
and
one
dawghter
.
When
the
foresaid
matters
were
set
at
a
stay
as
is
sayd
alredy
,
the
Admiral
toke
certein
peeces
of
ordinance
out
of
Rochell
,
and
went
to
beseege
the
towne
of
Niort
,
&
within
feawe
dayes
after
tooke
it
by
composition
.
From
thence
he
led
his
armie
too
Angolesme
.
This
towne
standeth
vpon
a
hygh
hill
,
cut
steepe
on
all
sides
sauing
one
,
into
the
which
Towne
the
aduersaries
had
conueyed
a
greate
Garrison
a
feawe
dayes
since
.
The
Admirall
cawsed
his
batterie
too
bee
layd
too
that
side
of
the
Towne
where
it
myght
bee
cumne
vntoo
,
and
when
he
had
assailed
it
certeine
dayes
,
it
was
yeelded
vntoo
him
by
the
townesmen
.
Anon
after
there
was
a
battell
fowght
at
Iaseneul
betweene
the
vawardes
of
bothe
the
parties
.
The
Captein
of
our
vaward
was
the
Admirall
,
who
brake
in
vppon
his
enemies
with
such
violence
,
that
they
being
vnable
too
abyde
the
brunt
,
sowght
too
saue
themselues
by
flyght
,
and
drewe
towardes
Lusignian
,
leauing
all
their
caryages
behynde
them
.
The
pray
that
was
taken
,
was
esteemed
almoste
at
fiftie
thowsande
Crownes
.
The
next
day
a
letter
of
one
of
the
Clerkes
of
the
Counsell
named
Fizie
,
wrytten
too
the
Queene
Moother
,
was
intercepted
:
wherin
he
bewayled
that
losse
,
adding
also
that
since
man
was
first
made
,
neuer
anie
sonne
of
Fraunce
,
(
it
is
a
vulgar
phraze
among
the
Frenchmen
)
was
in
so
great
hazard
of
his
lyfe
as
he
had
bin
.
Not
long
after
,
the
Admirall
going
too
Iarnacke
a
Towne
neere
by
,
was
driuen
too
fight
whither
he
woold
or
no
:
and
he
was
euen
at
the
verye
poynte
too
comme
intoo
his
ennemyes
handes
.
For
his
aduersaries
spyes
vnderstanding
,
that
he
pourpozed
too
passe
the
Riuer
that
ronneth
by
the
Towne
,
which
is
not
verye
brode
,
vppon
a
bridge
of
Boates
:
ambushed
them selues
secretly
on
the
other
side
of
the
Riuer
,
and
assoone
as
they
perceyued
the
Admirall
too
bee
there
,
by
and
by
the
Hargabuts
began
too
discharge
at
him
,
and
other
some
indeuered
too
get
ouer
the
bridge
by
force
.
As
God
woold
there
was
one
Hargabutter
that
stopped
their
brunte
with
his
often
shoting
of
of
his
peece
,
but
yit
was
he
striken
through
with
a
nomber
of
shot
,
and
fell
downe
dead
.
Abowt
twelue
other
being
stirred
vp
with
his
noyze
,
succeeded
in
his
roome
.
The
Admirall
himself
stepping
too
the
banke
,
with
his
naked
swoord
,
(
for
he
had
no
leyzure
too
put
on
his
corslet
)
did
cutte
asunder
the
ropes
wherwith
the
boates
were
fastened
,
during
the
which
tyme
,
his
aduersaries
which
hild
the
further
side
of
the
Riuer
,
neuer
left
shooting
at
him
,
which
thing
cawsed
him
too
haue
a
gard
abowt
him
from
that
day
foorth
for
the
defence
of
his
persone
against
such
suddein
chaunces
.
A
twoo
dayes
after
,
when
the
aduersaries
had
passed
ouer
the
riuer
of
Sharent
,
the
Prince
of
Condey
for
feare
of
being
inclozed
by
them
,
althowgh
he
had
lately
hyred
thre
thowsand
swart
Rutters
,
and
had
more
ouer
six
thowsand
Swissers
,
whom
he
had
interteyned
from
the
beginning
of
the
warres
:
yit
notwithstanding
being
a
man
of
a
noble
and
stowte
stomacke
in
battell
,
he
determined
too
stop
them
of
their
passage
,
howbeeit
not
too
fight
in
pitched
battell
.
In
the
meane
whyle
woord
came
too
the
Admirall
that
his
men
which
had
taken
the
Towne
next
their
enemies
the
day
before
,
were
beset
&
browght
too
vtter
perill
,
but
yit
stood
manfully
still
too
their
defence
.
The
Admiral
minding
not
to
abandon
them
,
gathered
certein
horsmen
quickly
togither
,
&
marched
to
them
apace
.
Whom
when
the
enemies
knew
,
they
suddeinly
cast
themselues
in
a
ringe
,
and
beset
him
rownd
abowt
with
greate
force
.
Wherof
the
Prince
of
Condey
being
certified
,
and
being
much
redyer
in
corage
then
fortified
with
strength
,
brake
into
the
middleward
of
his
enemies
,
and
there
being
oppressed
with
multitude
,
had
his
horse
striken
throwgh
,
so
that
he
was
ouerthrowen
&
slayne
.
The
Admirall
being
soore
greeued
with
the
greate
losse
,
and
distrusting
what
might
insew
to
the
whole
,
retyred
with
his
brother
the
Andelot
intoo
the
towne
of
S.
Iohn
d'Angeli
,
And
wheras
the
foyle
that
he
had
receyued
in
the
bodie
of
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
he
could
haue
reuenged
vppon
the
bodies
of
dyuers
his
enemies
that
were
of
greatest
power
and
nobilitie
,
and
haue
requyted
their
dishonorable
dealing
with
like
for
like
:
yit
determined
he
to
hold
himself
within
the
bownds
of
nature
and
manhod
,
and
to
giue
the
dead
their
dewes
:
and
in
that
mind
did
he
continue
as
long
as
the
warre
lasted
.
As
I
told
you
before
,
Ioane
Queene
of
Nauarre
was
the
same
time
at
Rochell
:
who
hearing
of
the
greate
losse
that
was
receyued
,
went
with
all
haste
intoo
the
Campe
,
where
hauing
comforted
the
cheef
of
the
whole
host
,
and
incoraged
the
sowldiers
too
be
myndful
of
their
auncient
prowesse
,
shee
told
them
that
shee
gaue
and
deliuered
vntoo
them
hir
only
sonne
Henry
(
too
whom
the
kingdome
of
Nauarre
should
descend
after
hir
dicease
)
to
bee
their
Generall
:
protesting
openly
,
that
the
life
of
hir
only
sonne
was
not
deerer
vnto
hir
,
then
the
welfare
of
the
whole
armie
.
Henry
Prince
of
Condey
the
sonne
of
the
foresayd
Lewis
late
deceased
,
was
ioyned
with
him
in
societie
of
the
honorable
charge
.
Neuerthelesse
,
the
Lords
and
all
the
Capteines
and
vnder
capteines
betooke
the
charge
of
the
warres
,
and
the
ordering
of
all
martiall
affaires
to
the
Admirall
with
one
consent
,
as
to
him
that
was
knowen
to
be
of
greatest
credit
and
authority
among
the
protestants
.
For
besids
his
singular
skil
in
martiall
affaires
,
and
besids
his
iustice
&
his
stayednes
,
it
was
wel
knowen
to
all
men
,
that
he
was
the
first
of
all
the
nobilitie
of
the
Realme
,
which
imbraced
the
trew
religion
and
professed
it
openly
,
which
reformed
the
order
of
his
howse
according
to
the
order
of
religion
:
which
durst
breake
with
King
Frauncis
the
second
(
who
was
hild
intangled
with
the
alyance
of
the
howse
of
Gwyse
)
concerning
the
demaunds
of
the
Churches
,
&
put
vp
supplications
in
their
names
to
the
Kings
counsell
:
which
gaue
example
of
godlines
to
the
french
nobilitie
,
whom
al
men
knew
to
haue
bin
most
horribly
infected
with
euill
manners
,
by
reason
of
that
wicked
custome
of
the
Kings
court
.
And
it
is
further
knowen
,
that
after
he
had
once
imbraced
the
religion
,
he
neuer
gaue
any
cause
of
offence
to
the
reformed
Churches
:
and
that
wheras
men
resorted
vnto
him
on
all
sids
,
in
the
name
of
those
Churches
,
he
alwayes
gaue
them
the
wyzest
counsell
:
and
tooke
weapon
in
hand
,
not
to
rebell
ageinst
the
King
(
as
sum
reported
of
him
)
but
at
the
request
and
intreatance
of
the
Queene
mother
,
which
thing
neuerthelesse
he
did
not
vppon
his
owne
head
,
or
to
satisfie
the
Queenes
mind
,
but
(
bycawse
the
King
was
not
yit
full
twelue
yeeres
old
,
)
he
grownded
himself
vppon
the
authority
of
the
generall
counsell
holden
at
Orleance
(
as
is
sayd
afore
)
and
also
vppon
the
Kings
edict
that
was
wrotten
and
proclaymed
at
Paris
within
certeine
dayes
after
by
the
full
consent
of
all
men
:
wheras
on
the
contrary
part
it
was
by
the
Gwyses
procurement
and
counsell
,
that
so
many
honorable
and
worshipful
howses
were
turned
out
of
all
their
goods
and
possessions
:
that
so
many
florishing
and
noble
Cities
were
sacked
:
that
so
many
Princes
,
noblemen
,
Capteines
and
Maysters
of
chiualrie
were
slayne
,
to
the
exceeding
greate
preiudice
of
the
whole
Realme
:
and
(
which
is
the
cheef
of
all
other
)
that
so
many
florishing
congregations
were
oppressed
welneere
in
al
the
townes
of
Fraunce
&
finally
the
Realme
brought
to
that
point
,
that
it
lay
open
to
any
forrein
Prince
as
a
bootie
to
pray
vppon
.
These
things
were
no
sooner
finished
,
but
the
Admiral
had
a
sore
mischaunce
by
the
death
of
his
brother
the
Andelot
,
who
died
of
a
suddeine
diseaze
in
the
town
of
Santon
,
not
without
suspicion
of
poysoning
:
which
was
so
much
the
more
lykely
,
bycawse
Birague
the
Uicechauncelour
(
who
anon
after
was
made
Chauncelour
)
a
man
of
Piemount
,
was
herd
to
say
oftentymes
in
the
Court
,
that
all
these
warres
were
too
bee
dispatched
,
not
by
armed
men
,
nor
with
so
great
ado
,
and
with
so
great
losses
,
but
by
cooks
&
skullions
with
small
adoo
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
Admirall
wrate
a
letter
with
his
owne
hand
a
feawe
dayes
afore
to
his
owne
sonnes
&
to
the
Andelots
sonnes
which
were
browght
vp
all
vnder
one
Tutor
,
to
comfort
them
,
which
letter
of
his
written
with
his
owne
hand
I
haue
now
presently
in
my
keeping
:
I
thowght
it
not
amisse
to
translate
it
in
maner
word
for
word
,
and
too
set
it
downe
here
,
in
this
place
.
Although
I
dowt
not
(
quoth
he
)
but
the
death
of
my
brother
Andelot
was
a
great
greef
vnto
you
,
yit
notwithstanding
I
thowght
it
good
to
put
you
in
mynd
of
your
happines
in
that
you
be
the
Sonnes
or
Neuewes
of
so
noble
a
gentleman
,
whom
I
dare
auow
to
haue
bin
,
both
a
faythfull
seruant
of
God
,
and
worthy
of
singular
commendacion
and
renowme
for
his
excellencie
in
martiall
affayres
.
The
remembrance
and
example
of
which
vertewes
owght
too
stand
alwayes
before
your
eyes
,
that
you
may
imitate
them
to
the
vttermost
of
your
power
.
And
I
thinke
verily
,
that
I
may
well
affirme
this
of
him
,
that
in
all
Fraunce
there
was
not
any
that
went
beyond
him
in
matters
of
warre
,
nother
do
I
dowt
but
that
forrein
nations
will
yeeld
him
like
record
,
specially
such
as
haue
had
experience
of
his
prowesse
heeretofore
.
He
purchaced
not
this
so
great
estimation
by
sloth
and
ydlenes
,
but
by
induring
of
greate
peynes
for
his
countries
sake
.
Surely
I
neuer
knew
man
eyther
iuster
towards
the
world
,
or
more
zealous
of
righteousnes
to
godward
.
nother
am
I
ignorant
that
it
were
not
comly
for
mee
too
report
these
thinges
of
him
among
straungers
.
But
I
am
the
bolder
to
speake
them
vnto
you
,
to
the
intent
to
incorage
and
sharpen
you
too
the
imitating
of
so
great
vertewes
:
for
I
my self
also
do
set
this
example
before
mee
to
followe
the
same
,
praying
&
beseeching
our
God
and
Lord
,
to
graunt
mee
to
depart
as
godlily
and
blessedly
out
of
this
life
,
as
I
saw
him
do
.
And
bycause
I
find
myself
to
haue
a
great
want
of
him
:
to
the
intent
I
may
beare
this
greef
of
mine
the
more
patiently
,
I
craue
of
you
that
I
may
see
his
vertewes
reuiue
&
shine
forth
in
you
.
For
your
better
atteinement
wherof
,
giue
your selues
with
your
whole
hart
to
godlines
&
religion
,
and
while
you
be
in
these
yeeres
,
spend
your
time
in
the
study
of
such
learning
as
may
lead
you
into
the
way
of
vertew
.
And
although
I
can
well
abide
that
you
should
be
from
your
books
at
such
howres
as
your
mayster
giues
you
leaue
too
play
:
yit
looke
to
it
that
in
your
playing
you
nother
do
nor
say
ought
that
may
offend
God
.
Specially
reuerence
your
Schoolemaister
,
and
obey
him
no
lesse
then
myself
.
For
I
am
sure
that
he
will
not
giue
you
any
precept
or
counsell
,
which
shall
not
bee
both
for
your
honour
&
profit
.
As
concerning
all
other
things
if
ye
loue
me
,
or
rather
if
ye
loue
your selues
,
so
deale
as
I
may
alwaies
heare
glad
tydings
of
you
:
&
looke
as
ye
growe
in
yeeres
and
body
,
so
growe
yee
also
in
godlines
and
vertew
.
God
blesse
you
all
,
and
be
your
defence
,
and
vphold
you
euermore
with
his
holy
spirit
.

Nother
was
the
Admirals
stowt
corage
in
bearing
out
the
greatnesse
of
that
greefe
,
vnknowen
too
straungers
.
For
although
he
had
forgone
such
a
brother
as
he
knewe
to
bee
peerelesse
in
godlinesse
,
Iustice
,
valeantnesse
,
renowme
of
noble
deedes
,
and
commendacion
of
chiualrie
,
insomuch
that
for
his
owne
part
he
termed
him
his
right
arme
:
yit
did
he
oftentimes
protest
among
his
freends
,
that
he
himself
rested
vppon
the
prouidence
of
God
.
For
he
both
vnderstoode
and
also
was
wont
to
say
oftentimes
,
that
nother
the
Churche
of
God
was
gwided
by
mannes
pollicy
,
nor
the
christian
army
ordered
by
the
prowesse

.
And
in
talking
of
his
brothers
death
among
his
freends
,
he
was
wont
to
cry
out
.
O
happy
Andelot
,
which
ended
the
course
of
his
lise
so
godlily
&
luckily
.
About
the
same
time
word
was
brought
of
the
comming
of
Woolfgang
Duke
of
Bipount
into
Fraunce
with
a
mighty
armie
of
Germanes
,
whome
he
browght
to
our
reskew
:
&
how
he
had
already
passed
the
Loyre
with
his
power
,
and
had
woone
the
towne
of
Sharity
,
bicause
there
was
a
bridge
ouer
the
riuer
in
that
towne
,
into
Berrey
.
When
the
Germanes
were
come
to
the
towne
of
Shalluce
in
the
borders
of
Limosin
:
the
Admirall
determined
to
ioyne
with
them
,
the
which
self
same
day
the
Duke
of
Bipount
being
oppressed
with
a
sore
sicknes
,
departed
out
of
this
life
,
and
the
cheef
charge
was
by
consent
of
al
the
Germanes
committed
to
Woolrade
Earle
of
Mansfeld
,
who
had
bin
his
lieuetennant
.
The
aduersaries
were
greatly
abashed
at
this
ioyning
of
them
togither
,
&
there
was
no
place
in
all
Fraunce
where
this
opinion
was
not
spred
,
that
if
the
Germanes
and
Frenchmen
might
match
togither
,
the
Kings
power
was
like
to
go
to
wrecke
,
and
the
Courtiers
should
be
glad
and
fayne
to
stoope
to
their
aduersaries
.
Also
such
as
shewed
themselues
desirous
of
peace
and
of
publike
quietnesse
,
did
openly
both
in
the
Camp
and
in
the
Citie
curse
the
authors
of
falshod
:
saying
that
it
was
neuer
yit
seene
,
but
that
the
end
of
periurie
was
alwayes
mischeuous
.
This
was
certeinly
thought
of
all
men
,
that
if
the
Admiral
ioyning
his
owne
power
with
the
power
of
the
Germanes
,
had
led
them
rightforth
into
the
hart
of
Fraunce
towards
Paris
,
many
cities
would
haue
yeelded
vnto
him
,
and
haue
committed
themselues
to
his
tuicion
.
This
opinion
was
very
greatly
confirmed
within
feaw
daies
after
.
For
at
such
time
as
Henry
Duke
of
Aniow
being
incamped
neere
vntoo
him
,
had
giuen
him
battel
,
he
was
easily
driuen
back
,
and
compelled
to
retyre
with
the
losse
of
a
greate
number
of
his
footemen
,
&
with
the
taking
of
Mounsyre
Strossie
the
Queene
moothers
sisters
sonne
,
who
had
the
charge
of
them
.
The
Admirall
hoping
that
vppon
the
matching
of
so
great
forces
togither
,
the
King
considering
the
state
of
things
would
incline
his
mind
to
sum
indifferency
:
sent
bookes
of
supplication
vnto
him
(
for
the
Duke
of
Aniow
would
giue
him
no
leaue
to
send
any
messenger
)
wherin
he
praied
and
besought
him
in
the
name
of
the
whole
army
,
that
he
would
not
harden
his
hart
any
longer
,
but
haue
compassion
of
his
afflicted
and
miserable
subiects
,
and
consider
with
how
great
hinderance
to
the
Realme
,
the
twentie
thowsand
forreiners
or
thereabowts
,
which
were
come
to
the
succor
of
both
parts
,
should
raunge
vp
&
down
through
the
realm
of
Fraunce
,
if
the
warre
were
prolonged
any
longe
tyme
.
For
the
matter
was
nowe
proceeded
so
farre
forth
,
as
the
ciuill
warres
were
not
likely
to
come
to
end
by
reconcylement
of
mennes
mynds
or
throwgh
the
loue
and
compassion
of
their
countrie
,
but
by
the
wasting
of
the
Realme
:
&
therfore
it
was
expedient
for
him
too
spare
his
subiects
that
had
indured
so
many
discommodities
&
so
long
continewing
already
,
&
not
too
trust
ouermuch
too
the
Cardinalls
and
Italians
,
which
bare
to
much
sway
in
his
court
:
for
straungers
would
neuer
rew
the
miseries
of
frenchmen
as
frenchmen
would
.
The
tyme
was
now
most
conuenient
too
treate
of
peace
,
while
eyther
part
stood
vppon
the
trust
of
their
owne
strength
.
And
the
condicion
of
peace
was
very
eazie
,
inasmuchas
the
whole
number
that
were
in
armes
with
him
,
desired
nothing
but
fre
liberty
to
exercize
their
religion
,
which
had
bin
graunted
them
so
often
,
both
by
authoritie
of
publike
counsell
,
and
also
by
the
Kings
Edicts
.
Extreme
was
the
madnes
of
the
Italians
and
of
a
few
others
that
were
neerest
abowt
the
King
,
to
warrant
him
that
two
hundred
thowsand
men
of
the
reformed
religion
,
might
be
dispatched
and
rid
out
of
the
way
with
so
small
a
do
as
they
made
of
it
:
wherof
the
successe
of
the
former
tymes
might
be
a
sufficient
proof
.
When
the
Duke
of
Aniow
had
taken
the
foresayd
foyle
,
then
by
the
aduyce
of
his
freends
,
he
dismissed
a
greate
part
of
his
armie
,
and
specially
of
his
horsmen
,
for
the
space
of
a
mooneth
or
two
,
commaunding
them
to
returne
home
to
refresh
themselues
.
And
then
Woolrade
Erle
of
Mansfeeld
late
leeuetennant
to
Woolfgang
,
was
set
vp
in
his
place
with
the
full
consent
of
all
men
.
When
things
were
thus
set
at
a
stay
,
the
Admirall
called
a
counsell
,
wherin
all
men
thowght
it
good
,
that
forasmuch
as
all
the
Cities
and
Countries
from
the
Hauen
of
Rochell
,
and
on
all
the
Sea-coast
,
were
in
possession
of
the
Protestantes
,
those
quarters
should
be
fortified
,
and
the
winning
of
the
Towne
of
Poytiers
bee
attempted
,
that
it
myght
bee
as
bulwarke
too
defend
and
mainteine
that
whole
Countrie
.
This
deuyce
seemed
too
bee
greatly
furthered
by
the
yeelding
vp
of
the
Castle
of
Lusignian
,
which
is
the
strongest
hold
in
all
Fraunce
,
and
yit
notwithstanding
was
yeelded
vppe
within
a
feawe
dayes
beseeging
,
and
so
was
newes
browght
abowt
the
same
tyme
that
the
towne
of
Chastelleraut
had
done
the
lyke
.
Anon
after
that
the
seege
was
planted
before
Poytiers
,
and
all
things
put
in
redinesse
for
the
assaulting
of
the
towne
:
the
Admirall
being
ouertyred
with
watching
and
trauell
,
was
taken
with
the
bluddy
Flix
,
wherwith
he
was
so
pulled
downe
for
thirtie
dayes
todgither
,
that
he
could
not
bee
present
at
their
dooings
,
nor
giue
them
counsell
howe
too
deale
.
By
meanes
wherof
the
Townesmen
being
refreshed
bothe
with
vittelles
and
with
newe
and
fresh
succours
that
were
dayly
sent
in
,
and
hartened
with
daily
salyes
,
and
moreouer
incoraged
by
letters
and
messages
from
the
king
,
bare
owt
the
seege
stowtly
.
But
all
men
are
certeinly
perswaded
,
that
had
not
the
Admirals
siknesse
hindered
the
matter
,
Poytiers
had
comme
vnder
his
subiection
.
Abowt
the
same
season
,
one
Dominik
Albio
,
a
Gascon
borne
,
and
one
of
the
Admirals
howsehold
seruaunts
,
which
being
taken
by
the
Kings
side
,
had
taried
certeine
monethes
in
their
Camp
and
custodie
returned
now
home
too
his
Master
,
and
resorting
boldly
agein
too
his
house
,
began
too
bee
had
in
suspicion
at
manie
mennes
hands
,
for
his
fond
talk
&
for
the
vnconstancie
of
certeine
speeches
that
he
cast
forth
,
bicause
he
commonly
agreed
not
with
himself
.
By
occasion
wherof
being
apprehended
&
examined
,
he
brought
forth
a
box
of
poyson
,
which
he
confessed
too
haue
bin
deliuered
him
by
one
Riuers
,
the
Captein
of
the
Duke
of
Aniowes
gard
,
and
by
a
certein
other
person
which
was
the
same
Dukes
secretarie
,
&
that
he
was
promized
.2000
.
French
crownes
to
kill
his
master
the
Admirall
therwith
.
Upon
the
knowledge
wherof
he
was
condemned
too
death
,
&
wheras
most
men
deemed
him
woorthie
of
greeuouser
punishment
,
yit
was
he
but
hanged
with
a
rope
,
notwithstanding
that
his
maister
sewed
for
his
pardon
.
Before
the
Admirall
was
throughly
rid
of
his
disease
,
when
word
was
brought
him
that
the
towne
of
Chastelleraut
which
was
a
.7
.
miles
of
from
the
Camp
,
was
beseeged
of
his
enemyes
:
he
led
his
power
thither
,
beeing
caryed
himself
in
a
horselitter
,
and
easely
entering
the
Towne
with
his
sowldyers
,
did
putte
his
enemyes
too
flyght
,
sleaing
a
greate
number
of
them
,
and
specially
of
the
Italians
:
and
he
ceassed
not
too
pursew
his
enemyes
as
they
fled
,
till
they
were
past
the
Riuer
,
which
for
the
deepenesse
therof
is
in
the
vulgar
tung
called
the
Crewse
.
In
the
meane
whyle
the
yoong
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
which
had
bin
Capteine
of
Poytiers
,
issewing
owt
of
the
towne
with
a
greate
companie
by
nyght
,
did
send
in
other
new
and
fresh
fellowes
in
their
sted
.
And
ere
long
after
,
the
Duke
of
Aniow
hauing
repayred
a
greate
armye
,
not
only
of
Frenchmen
,
but
also
of
Almanes
and
Swissers
,
came
too
Chinon
.
The
armie
of
the
Protestantes
began
too
bee
weerye
of
the
long
seege
of
Poytiers
,
for
want
of
vittelles
and
wyne
,
and
throwgh
fowle
and
stormie
wether
,
matched
with
siknesse
which
had
greatly
anoyed
the
footemen
,
specially
of
the
Germanes
.
By
reason
wherof
manie
of
the
Santones
had
conueyed
themselues
home
too
refresh
their
bodies
,
&
diuers
had
slunk
away
intoo
the
innermore
part
of
Fraunce
,
to
Sharitie
and
Sancerre
,
which
were
in
possession
of
the
Protestants
.
Which
when
the
Admirall
vnderstood
,
he
thought
it
good
not
to
be
ouerhastie
,
and
therfore
restreined
the
whote
corage
of
his
sowldyers
from
battell
.
Whervppon
bothe
the
sowldyers
&
the
petie
capteines
did
cast
forth
threatning
speeches
,
saying
that
they
woold
returne
home
,
and
shift
for
themselues
:
for
it
woold
be
more
for
their
ease
to
make
warre
at
home
in
their
owne
countryes
,
where
they
might
help
themselues
with
their
owne
houshold
store
,
than
in
straunge
places
:
specially
seing
they
had
the
possession
of
certein
townes
in
Aquitane
&
Delphynoys
,
&
by
the
riuer
of
Loyre
,
wherinto
they
myght
resort
,
and
wherowt
of
they
myght
make
inuasions
,
and
easly
waste
the
feelds
of
their
enemyes
.
Not
vnlike
theis
were
the
speeches
of
the
Almane
sowldyers
,
who
hauing
forborne
their
wages
now
certein
moonethes
,
kryed
owt
that
the
matter
was
too
bee
committed
too
the
swoord
,
rather
than
too
lye
lingering
so
long
from
their
owne
countries
and
dwelling
places
.
And
it
was
almost
comme
too
the
poynt
,
that
certein
noblemen
of
great
authoritie
were
abowt
too
haue
forsaken
the
Camp
,
and
too
haue
led
a
great
part
of
the
armie
away
with
them
.
When
it
was
once
determined
too
put
the
matter
too
the
swoord
,
and
that
bothe
the
armyes
drew
neere
too
Mongontur
to
incamp
there
:
the
Capteins
of
the
armie
of
our
aduersaries
,
did
soodeinly
set
vppon
our
lyght
horsmen
that
were
the
foreriders
,
and
vppon
certein
bands
of
our
foreward
,
whereof
the
Admirall
had
the
charge
.
The
Admirall
hauing
sowght
a
good
while
for
his
harnes
bearer
,
and
finding
him
not
,
did
at
length
neuerthelesse
aduenture
intoo
the
thickest
of
his
enemies
.
After
him
followed
the
foremencioned
Woolrade
Erle
of
Mansfeeld
,
who
compelled
the
battell
of
the
enemies
too
forsake
their
grownd
.
Heere
ran
a
riuer
which
the
aduersaries
labored
by
all
meanes
too
passe
.
The
Admirall
being
garded
with
certein
Hargabuts
,
marched
sumwhat
before
the
foreward
,
and
stayed
at
the
bank
of
the
brooke
,
and
stopped
the
enemies
of
their
passage
,
prouiding
there
for
all
things
necessarie
vntill
the
shetting
in
of
the
Euening
,
when
as
notwithstanding
,
his
enemies
neuer
left
beating
of
that
place
of
all
the
while
,
bothe
with
greate
Ordinance
and
with
small
shot
.
And
surely
if
they
myght
haue
passed
the
Riuer
at
that
time
,
and
haue
broken
in
vppon
our
armye
,
it
had
bin
horrible
too
think
what
a
slawghter
they
had
made
of
our
men
.
For
they
were
mo
in
nomber
than
our
hoste
by
a
third
part
.
Besides
this
,
they
were
fresh
and
lusty
,
and
our
men
faint
and
weerie
at
the
ioyning
of
the
battell
:
and
therfore
it
was
but
twoo
dayes
respit
.
For
the
third
day
when
it
came
too
hand
strokes
,
the
most
part
of
our
footemen
went
too
wrecke
,
and
our
horsmen
were
put
too
flyght
.
The
Admirall
giuing
charge
vppon
six
hundred
Almanes
,
with
twoo
hundred
French
horsmen
,
was
shot
at
with
thicke
shot
of
pistolets
,
and
wownded
on
the
right
side
of
his
nozethrilles
:
insomuch
that
hauing
his
Beuer
beaten
too
his
face
,
and
being
not
able
too
spit
owt
the
blud
that
issewed
from
his
wound
,
and
moreouer
hauing
his
swoord
striken
from
him
,
and
his
swoord
girdle
broken
of
with
the
continewance
of
the
Pistolet
shot
,
and
almost
all
the
lethers
of
his
corslet
burnt
asundre
with
the
heate
of
the
pellets
that
lyghted
vppon
his
armour
,
so
as
his
brestplate
hung
but
by
the
vppermoste
thonges
:
he
was
at
length
conueyed
owt
of
the
battel
by
the
help
and
faythfull
seruis
of
one
Ploriner
,
a
yoongman
of
Normandie
,
whom
he
had
browght
vp
of
a
chyld
in
his
howse
,
and
after
the
ouerthrow
of
his
hoste
,
was
conueyed
by
his
freendes
too
Partheney
.
Here
a
man
may
well
woonder
at
the
constancie
and
greatnesse
of
his
corage
.
For
wheras
vppon
the
receyuing
of
this
so
greate
losse
,
most
men
did
cast
away
bothe
corage
and
hope
:
he
tooke
vppon
him
too
comfort
and
harten
euery
man
,
and
calling
all
his
secretaries
and
clerkes
vntoo
him
,
sent
letters
abrode
into
all
partes
of
Fraunce
,
least
the
Protestantes
that
were
vp
in
armes
in
other
places
,
should
faint
,
or
think
the
losse
too
bee
so
greate
,
as
myght
not
bee
recouered
within
feawe
dayes
space
.
The
next
morning
he
tooke
his
way
too
Niort
,
and
when
he
had
set
things
in
order
there
,
he
went
thence
too
Santon
,
and
abode
there
but
seuen
dayes
for
the
curing
of
his
wownd
,
which
could
not
be
healed
throughly
in
lesse
than
.25
.
dayes
.
While
the
Admirall
was
thus
greeued
with
the
burthens
of
his
former
trauels
,
and
with
great
heauinesse
and
distresse
:
newes
was
browght
him
,
that
he
was
atteynted
of
high
treason
by
act
of
parlament
,
made
at
Paris
the
13.
day
of
September
.1569
,
and
that
whosoeuer
could
bring
him
aliue
too
the
king
,
should
haue
fiftie
thowsand
Crownes
in
reward
for
his
labour
.
Welneere
at
the
same
time
it
was
told
him
,
that
one
Martinengo
an
Italian
,
condemned
of
Treason
in
his
owne
countrie
,
was
sent
with
certein
antsignes
by
the
king
to
Shattilion
,
and
that
when
he
came
there
,
he
not
only
ransacked
the
Castle
,
and
spoyled
&
caried
away
the
costly
plate
and
houshold
stuffe
that
had
bin
layd
vp
there
of
manie
ages
as
an
ordinarie
furniture
of
the
howse
,
too
the
valew
of
a
hundred
thousande
Crownes
at
the
leaste
:
but
also
did
so
burne
vp
the
Towne
that
standeth
vnder
the
Castle
,
as
there
scarcely
remained
anie
incling
of
a
Towne
.
At
the
receyt
of
which
newes
,
the
Admirall
was
so
farre
of
from
conceiuing
anie
greater
greefe
of
mynd
that
coulde
appall
him
in
going
foreward
with
his
affayres
:
that
there
appeered
not
so
much
as
anie
alteration
at
all
in
his
countenance
:
insomuche
that
when
his
freendes
and
kinsfolk
resorted
too
him
too
comfort
him
,
he
was
woont
too
say
stowtly
vntoo
them
,
that
God
of
his
singular
goodnesse
had
giuen
him
such
a
mind
at
the
present
,
as
could
possesse
the
things
that
are
termed
goods
,
and
not
be
possessed
of
them
,
so
as
his
goods
were
alwaies
subiect
to
him
,
&
not
he
to
his
goods
.
And
therfore
in
al
the
ciuil
warres
wheras
for
the
most
part
all
the
princes
,
noble
men
,
gentlemen
,
men
of
armes
&
footemen
mainteined
them selues
by
the
warres
,
&
liued
vpon
the
pray
from
hand
to
mouth
when
the
king
had
seized
their
possessions
:
Only
the
Admiral
&
a
few
other
payed
their
hostes
&
vittelers
alwayes
redy
monny
for
themselues
and
their
retinewes
:
by
reason
wherof
he
had
not
only
browght
himselfe
farre
in
dette
by
borrowing
vppon
interest
:
but
also
had
layd
a
great
part
of
his
wyues
apparell
,
Iewelles
,
and
ornaments
too
gage
,
and
continewed
that
trade
so
long
,
vntil
that
being
in
maner
left
destitute
of
all
howsehold
helpes
,
(
which
happened
almoste
abowt
the
end
of
the
third
ciuill
warre
)
he
sewed
in
an
assembly
of
the
states
,
too
haue
some
releef
graunted
too
him
also
,
for
the
mayntenance
of
his
howshold
charges
.
Abowt
the
same
tyme
the
Admirall
wrate
a
letter
with
his
owne
hand
,
too
his
owne
sonnes
,
and
too
his
brother
the
Andelots
sonnes
,
which
were
browght
vp
all
toogither
vnder
one
Schoolemaister
at
Rochell
,
as
is
shewed
afore
.
Which
copie
and
handwryting
of
his
I
hauing
gotten
,
thowght
it
woorthie
too
bee
translated
in
maner
woord
for

,
and
too
be
put
intoo
this

.
It

(
quoth

)
bin
moste

my
contentation
,
too
haue
spoken
theis
things
vntoo
yow
presently
,
and
to
haue
seene
yow
and
talked
with
yow
.
But
forasmuch
as
I
am
not
able
now
so
to
doo
:
I
thowght
it
good
too
warne
yow
too
haue
godlinesse
and
the
feare
of
God
continewally
before
your
eyes
,
specially
sith
tryall
and
experience
may
now
teache
yow
,
that
there
is
no
greate
trust
too
be
giuen
to
the
things
that
are
termed
goodes
.
Our
hope
must
bee
settled
in
another
place
than
in
this
earth
,
and
other
Artes
are
too
bee
gotten
than
those
which
are
seene
with
eyes
,
and
handled
with
hands
.
Howbeeit
,
forasmuch
as
that
lyeth
not
in
our
owne
power
,
wee
must
humbly
craue
help
at
Gods
hand
,
too
bring

the
surest
and
safest
way
:
and
yow
must
not
looke
that
that
way
shal
bee
pleasant
and
delyghtfull
,
and
flowing
with
all
prosperitie
.
Wee
must
followe
Iesus
Chryst
which
is
gone
afore

,
and
is
our
Captein
and
standerdbearer
.
Men
in

If

and
well
shall
it
bee
with

.
For
their
woorking
of
this
displeasure
vntoo
you
,
is
not
for
anie
wrong
or
harme
that
you
haue
done
them
,
but
only
for
hatred
of
me
,
wherof
I
am
sure
there
is
none
other
cawse
,
but
that
God
voutsafeth
to
vse
my
labour
and
seruis
in
susteyning
his
Churche
.
Therefore
if
we
suffer
harme
and
losse
in
that
behalf
,
blessed
are
we
:
and
we
shall
haue
such
a
reward
,
as
no
man
can
haue
power
ouer
it
,
I
haue
many
other
things
whereof
I
would
write
vnto
you
if
I
had
leyzure
.
At
this
tyme
it
shall
suffize
me
to
warne
you
,
and
to
beseeche
you
in
Gods
name
,
to
proceede
lustily
in
the
study
of
vertew
,
and
to
shewe
both
in
your
doings
and
sayings
,
and
in
all
your
whole
life
,
how
much
you
abhorre
all
kind
of
vices
.
Obey
your
Schoolemayster
and
all
others
that
are
set
ouer
you
:
that
if
I
may
not

as
I
would
,
I
may
at
leastwise
often
vnderstand
that
you
be
adorned
with
good
and
honest
condicions
.
The
last
shal
be
this
,
that
if

yit

Uerely

From
the
towne
of
Santon
the
xvi
.
of
October
.1569
.
Shatilion
.
When
the
Lords
had
sit
oft
tymes
in
counsel
in
the
same
towne
of
Santon
concerning
their
state
:
at
length
it
seemed
good
by
generall
consent
,
to
set
sum
staye
among
the
Townesmen
,
and
to
leaue
certeine
antsignes
of
footemen
in
garrison
for
defence
of
the
towne
,
and
to
go
their
way
,
with
their
lighthorsmen
into
the
borders
of
Tolowse
where
Mountalbane
,
a
towne
very
strong
both
by
nature
&
by
hand
of
man
,
was
in
possession
of
the
protestants
,
who
had
gathered
no
small
somme
of
money
wherwith
too
pay
the
Almanes
their
wages
.
And
besids
that
,
they
hoped
that
if
they
were
once
past
the
twoo
riuers
of
Gerownd
and
Lotte
,
they
should
ioyne
with
the
power
wherof
the
Countie
Mountgomrye
,
a
man
of
greate
authoritie
for
his
knightly
prowesse
and
skil
in
martiall
affayres
,
was
Capteine
,
and
by
whose
seruis
he
had
pacyfied
Bierne
,
a
territorie
of
the
King
of
Nauarres
.
In
this
iourney
,
which
was
verye
peynfull
by
reason
of
the
vneeuennesse
of
the
wayes
:
althowgh
that
all
the
Cities
were
manned
with
garrisons
,
and
had
cut
asunder
the
bridges
,
and
drawen
the
ferryboats
all
to
the
other
sides
:
yit
was
there
none
so
bold
as
too
assayle
our
sowldyers
weeryed
with
the
tediowsnesse
of
the
wayes
,
and
(
for
the
most
part
)
vnarmed
,
or
too
stoppe
them
as
they
passed
the
ryuers
and
brookes
on
bridges
made
of
barges
and
boates
.
Therefore
after
a
long
and
weerisomme
iourney
,
they
came
at
length
too
Mountalbane
:
owt
of
the
which
towne
,
the
Admiral
sent
messengers
to
the
King
and
the
Queene
moother
,
with
charge
to
make
earnest
and
humble
sute
in
the
behalfe
of
all
them
that
were
in
armes
with
him
,
that
they
should
not
suffer
so
manie
valeant
men
too
murther
one
another
,
as
were
nowe
readye
in
bothe
the
hosts
too
giue
battell
,
but
of
their
clemencie
make
an
ende
of
those
so
greate
myseryes
and
inconueniences
.
For
it
was
but
the
counsell
of
certeine
Bysshops
and
Cardinalls
which
neuer
came
intoo
the
feelde
themselues
,
and
of
a
sort
of
Italians
which
had
no
remors
of
Frenchmennes
myseryes
:
Neuerthelesse
it
was
a
poynt
of
starke
madnesse
for
them
too
thinke
,
that
twoo
hundred
thowsand
Protestants
,
specially
hauing
so
greate
a
number
of
noblemen
and
Gentlemen
among
them
,
could
bee
intrapped
and
rid
quite
and
cleane
away
withowt
towche
of
brest
:
Nay
verely
,
besides
that
,
there
were
a
greate
number
euen
of
the
Catholiks
themselues
,
which
shoulde
not
scape
without
tasting
of
the
comon
myseryes
:
insomuch
that
somme
should
perish
by
the
swoord
,
and
othersomme
throwgh
the
ouergreatnesse
and
weerisomnesse
of
trauell
and
peynestaking
,
and
the
more
part
be
sure
to
susteyne
greate
losse
and
hinderance
in
their
goods
and
possessions
.
Agein
it
was
not
beseeming
the
Maiestie
of
a
King
,
that
(
as
the
Courtyers
did
comonly
report
of
him
,
)
he
shoulde
not
spare
his
owne
people
so
he
might
oppresse
his
aduersaryes
:
for
it
is
the
speeche
of
a
Tyrant
and
not
of
a
King
,
too
say
,
Let
freends
perish
,
so
enemyes
maye
goo
too
wrecke
with
them
.
As
for
peace
,
the
condicion
was
eazie
,
namely
that
the
authoritie
of
the
publike
Counsell
which
was
hild
at
Orleance
,
and
of
the
Edict
made
at
Paris
,
doo
take
place
,
so
as
men
might
haue
libertie
to
exercyze
the
purer
Religion
in
somme
certeine
places
.
Uppon
the
sending
of
this
message
,
consultation
was
had
there
how
to
passe
the
riuer
of
Gerownd
,
which
was
betweene
Mountgomries
hoste
and
ours
,
and
seemed
verye
hard
to
bee
passed
by
reason
of
the
depth
,
bredth
and
swiftnesse
of
the
streame
.
Therefore
the
Admirall
gaue
counsell
to
take
the
towne
of
Mariane
standing
vppon
the
same
riuers
side
.
Which
being
done
,
forasmuch
as
the
Countie
Mountgomrye
possessed
the
other
side
,
the
Admirall
deuyzed
to
make
a
bridge
in
this
wyze
.
First
heauing
out
fowrteene
pyles
of
timber
,
of
fower
and
twentie
foote
long
a
peece
,
sharpened
at
the
one
end
and
armed
with
yron
,
he
draue
them
with
rammers
into
the
chanell
of
the
riuer
,
setting
fowerteene
mo
full
ageinst
them
in
the
vpper
part
of
the
streame
.
Then
vppon
euery
cupple
that
stoode
one
ageinst
another
,
he
layed
a
beame
well
fastened
with
mortises
and
braces
,
and
likewize
sidebeames
from
payre
to
payre
,
which
he
couered
ouer
with
planks
to
go
vppon
.
On
eyther
bank
was
made
a
litle
bridge
vppon
twoo
wheeles
,
to
conuey
horses
the
eassier
both
of
&
on
to
the
great
bridge
.
And
to
strengthen
the
worke
with
all
,
he
fastened
either
rowe
of
the
pyles
with
cables
and
cheynes
tyed
to
posts
driuen
into
the
grownd
on
eyther
side
of
the
riuer
.
When
the
worke
was
finished
,
and
two
dayes
spent
in
passing
ouer
of
the
Almane
horsmen
:
a
shippe
of
great
burthen
comming
downe
the
streame
in
the
deade
of
the
night
,
dashed
ful
ageinst
the
bridge
with
such
violence
,
that
it
shooke
the
whole
work
&
made
it
fall
asunder
.
This
shippe
our
men
tooke
and
hild
al
that
side
of
the
riuer
,
howbeeit
for
want
of
good
looking
to
,
bycawse
they
tyed
it
not
with
cables
ynow
,
it
was
caryed
away
with
the
violence
and
swiftnesse
of
the
streame
.
Therfore
it
seemed
best
to
make
passage
for
Mountgomrye
with
certein
bots
and
wherryes
fastened
togither
,
whom
the
Almane
horsmen
which
clozed
vp
his
rereward
followed
immediatly
.
When
the
Admirall
had
giuen
his
sowldiers
a
feawe
dayes
respit
to
refresh
themselues
,
he
led
them
to
the
Citie
of
Tholowse
,
and
tooke
manie
of
the
small
townes
abowt
it
,
whereof
somme
yeelded
themselues
to
his
tuicion
and
freendship
,
and
somme
were
woone
by
force
,
and
yit
had
he
but
twoo
battering
peeces
in
his
hoste
,
which
he
had
browgt
with
him
from
Mountalbane
.
When
he
had
set
those
townes
at
somme
stay
,
he
determined
to
take
his
iourney
to
Viuaret
and
to
the
riuers
side
of
Rhone
.
And
bycawse
many
had
put
on
armour
in
Delphinoys
that
fauored
his
side
,
and
hild
certein
townes
there
,
he
sent
part
of
his
armie
ouer
thither
,
to
attemp
the
wynning
of
mo
Cities
if
he
could
.
The
performance
of
which
charge
was
committed
to
Lewis
of
Nassawe
(
of
whom
I
haue
made
mention
before
)
who
passing
ouer
on
a
bridge
of
boats
,
did
strike
such
a
feare
into
the
rest
of
the
people
of
Delphinoys
,
that
they
fled
all
of
them
intoo
the
townes
.
Howbeeit
forasmuchas
he
had
no
battering
peeces
,
he
thought
it
was
not
for
him
to
tarrye
there
any
longer
,
but
that
he
had
done
ynowgh
for
the
commendacion
of
his
owne
valeantnes
,
and
therfore
when
he
had
wasted
their
feelds
,
he
browght
backe
his
armie
agein
safe
to
the
Admirall
within
feawe
dayes
after
:
which
exployt
of
his
purchaced
him
greate
prayse
,
as
well
among
the
Frenchmen
as
among
the
Almanes
,
both
for
the
noblenesse
of
his
corage
,
and
for
his
skill
in
behauing
him self
.
Anon
after
,
the
Admirall
being
appalled
with
ouergreate
labour
,
care
,
and
watching
,
fell
sicke
,
wherwith
although
he
were
sore
cumbered
,
yit
notwithstanding
forasmuchas
he
thought
it
best
to
come
to
the
riuer
of
Loyre
with
as
much
speede
as
might
bee
,
he
determyned
to
tarry
long
in
no
place
,
but
cawsed
himself
too
bee
conueyed
with
his
armye
in
a
horslitter
.
For
a
two
thowsand
men
were
assembled
abowt
Sharitie
and
Sanxerre
,
whom
he
thowght
greatly
for
his
aduantage
too
bee
ioyned
with
him
:
and
that
so
much
the
rather
,
bycawse
Mounsyre
Cossey
the
Marshall
of
Fraunce
,
whom
the
King
had
set
in
the
roome
of
the
Duke
of
Aniow
after
the
victorie
at
Santone
,
was
reported
too
bee
comming
towards
him
with
all
the
Kings
power
.
To
whom
the
Admirall
sent
woord
by
a
Herault
of
his
that
was
come
intoo
his
Camp
for
the
raunsoming
of
prisoners
,
that
Mounsyre
Cossey
should
not
neede
too
take
so
much
peynes
too
come
vntoo
him
,
for
he
would
visit
him
with
as
much
speede
as
he
could
,
and
ease
him
of
the
trauell
of
that
iourney
.
When
the
armye
was
come
too
the
Forest
,
behold
there
came
Commissioners
ageine
from
the
King
too
treate
of
composition
and
peace
.
For
when
the
Courtyers
heard
that
the
Admirall
(
who
a
litle
afore
seemed
too
bee
forlorne
and
past
hope
of
recouerie
)
had
gathered
so
greate
a
power
ageine
and
renewed
his
armye
:
they
were
striken
in
great
feare
,
least
the
Admirall
ioyning
with
the
power
of
Sharitie
,
shoulde
come
ryght
foorth
too
Paris
,
and
set
fyre
vppon
the
goodly
howses
and
pleasant
manours
of
the
Burgesses
of
Paris
,
and
of
the
Courtyers
neere
abowt
the
Citie
,
after
which
maner
they
had
heard
that
he
had
plaged
the
Burgesses
of
Tholowse
.
When
the
Admirall
had
gone
part
of
his
iourney
by
horslitter
(
as
I
sayd
before
)
his
diseaze
began
to
growe
sorer
vppon
him
,
and
the
phisicions
letted
not
to
say
,
that
he
could
not
long
indure
the
force
of
it
,
specially
being
ouerloden
with
so
manie
cares
.
And
therfore
the
talke
of
the
Commissioners
was
broken
of
,
&
the
treatie
of
peace
was
let
alone
for
a
time
,
which
intermission
when
certein
noblemen
of
great
authority
among
the
protestants
,
tooke
in
displeazure
bicause
of
the
prolonging
of
the
warres
,
&
made
complaint
to
the
Commissioners
that
it
was
not
meete
that
the
communication
of
peace
should
be
broken
of
for
the
sicknes
of
the
Admirall
being
but
one
man
,
for
though
he
happened
to
die
,
he
should
leaue
a
great
sort
alyue
behynd
him
,
with
whom
they
might
treat
of
composition
:
the
Commissioners
made
them
answere
,
that
they
woondered
very
much
to
see
,
that
they
perceyued
not
of
what
estimation
the
authoritie
of
their
Admirall
was
:
for
if
he
should
dye
to
day
(
quoth
they
,
)
tomorrowe
wee
would
not
offer
you
a
cuppe
of
water
,
as
who
should
say
,
yee
knewe
not
that
the
only
name
of
the
Admiral
is
more
worth
among
you
,
than
such
another
armie
as
greate
as
this
.
Within
feawe
dayes
after
,
when
the
Admirall
was
sommewhat
cheered
,
and
strengthened
,
they
fell
to
consulting
agein
of
peace
,
and
certein
were
chozen
too
go
with
the
Kings
Commissioners
,
and
to
carye
these
Instructions
with
them
.
That
nothing
was
more
wished
of
the
protestants
than
peace
,
nor
nothing
greeued
them
worse
than
warre
:
but
yit
ther
was
not
any
of
them
,
which
minded
not
to
aduenture
much
greeuowser
peynes
,
yea
and
death
it self
,
rather
than
to
forsake
Gods
Religion
which
they
had
professed
.
Wherfore
if
the
king
woold
graunt
them
libertie
too
vse
the
pure
religion
,
as
he
had
doone
in
former
yeeres
,
and
priuiledge
certeine
townes
for
the
same
:
there
was
none
of
them
all
but
he
woold
most
willingly
and
gladly
lay
away
weapon
for
euer
.
The
Admirall
hauing
giuen
theis
instructions
too
the
Commissioners
,
dislodged
his
Campe
,
and
ere
long
after
tooke
the
Towne
of
Reneleduc
in
his
way
,
whither
certein
of
the
foreryders
of
Mounsyre
Cosseyes
hoste
were
come
.
And
from
thenceforth
there
scaped
not
almost
any
day
without
somme
skirmish
:
and
one
day
the
hartes
of
all
the
sowldyers
were
so
inflamed
too
battell
,
that
a
little
more
woold
haue
made
the
matter
too
haue
coome
too
a
pitched
feeld
,
bycawse
that
wheras
there
was
but
a
Brooke
betweene
bothe
the
hostes
,
Mountgomrey
breaking
the
aray
of
the
aduersaries
Uaward
(
wherof
one
Mounsyre
Valet
a
Gascon
,
a
man
of
greate
estimation
in
his
Countrie
had
the
leading
)
did
put
them
too
flyght
.
Within
feawe
dayes
after
,
the
king
sent
Commissioners
agein
too
the
Camp
,
too
ask
trewce
,
but
so
long
till
the
things
concerning
the
composition
myght
bee
dispatched
.
For
the
Burgesses
of
Paris
(
who
were
of
verie
great
estimation
with
the
king
)
were
sore
afraid
of
the
wastings
and
burnings
that
were
threatened
them
:
nother
is
there
any
kynd
of
people
in
all
Fraunce
,
that
is
more
feerce
in
prouoking
warre
when
it
is
farre
of
from
their
doores
,
nor
more
cowardly
in
accepting
any
conditions
of
peace
whan
warre
commes
home
to
them
.
When
the
Commissioners
had
gone
too
and
fro
on
both
sides
a
good
sort
of
tymes
,
at
length
an
Edict
was
browght
from
the
King
,
wherby
he
gaue
men
leaue
to
exercyze
and
maynteine
the
Religion
in
certeine
places
,
and
for
the
assuring
therof
,
gaue
them
fower
cities
in
pledge
,
namely
Rochell
,
Mountalbane
,
Conyak
,
and
Sharitie
.
When
this
peace
(
which
is
reckened
as
the
third
)
was
made
,
and
the
Kings
Edict
proclaymed
ouer
all
Fraunce
:
the
Admirall
hauing
first
conueyed
home
the
Almane
horsmen
to
the
borders
of
Germanie
,
browght
backe
the
twoo
yong
Princes
(
of
Nauarre
and
Condey
)
too
Roehell
too
the
Queene
of
Nauarre
,
determyning
too
abyde
there
,
vntill
he
might
perceiue
that
the
peace
was
throwghly
setled
euerywhere
.
Within
feawe
moonethes
,
trusting
too
the
Kings
promises
,
and
too
the
othes
both
of
the
King
himself
,
and
of
his
brethren
,
and
of
all
the
Parlamentes
,
forasmuche
as
he
hoped
that
after
the
owtwearing
of
so
manie
toyles
,
he
should
now
gette
some
rest
,
he
inclined
his
mind
too
mariage
agein
,
at
the
perswasion
of
his
freends
,
and
specially
being
inuited
by
the
kinsfolk
of
the
Lady
Iaquet
of
Moulet
,
the
widow
of
the
Lord
Antonie
Moulet
,
¶
daughter
of
the
Countie
Entremont
,
of
whose
modestie
,
godlinesse
,
and
holie
conuersation
he
had
herd
much
a
good
while
ago
.
Therfore
being
honorably
browght
vnto
him
too
Rochell
,
he
tooke
hir
too
his
wife
.
And
within
a
while
after
,
he
gaue
a
dawghter
of
his
named
Loyse
,
in
mariage
too
Mounsyre
Telignie
,
a
yoong
Gentleman
of
great
Nobilitie
and
singular
vertew
.
No
gentleman
in
all
Fraunce
seemed
more
dere
and
delightfull
too
the
king
,
than
this
Telignie
was
,
for
his
singular
towardnesse
.
And
therfore
it
is
the
comon
brute
among
all
men
,
that
this
mannes
report
was
the
only
thing
that
perswaded
the
Admirall
,
too
conceiue
good
opinion
of
the
kings
faithfulnesse
and
fauour
towardes
him
.
Anon
after
,
in
the
yeere
of
our
Lord.
1571
,
the
Admirall
being
inuited
by
moste
gentle
and
honorable
letters
of
the
kings
,
repaired
too
the
Court
then
lying
at
Bloys
,
and
was
requested
too
bée
the
maker
of
the
mariage
betweene
the
kings
sister
,
and
Henry
the
yoong
king
of
Nauarre
:
[
for
the
better
bringing
wherof
too
passe
]
the
King
had
declared
by
his
messengers
and
commissioners
,
that
there
could
not
bee
deuized
a
more
sure
bond
too
link
toogither
the
publik
peace
and
concord
,
nor
a
certeiner
meanes
too
bring
all
the
states
too
an
attonement
.
Within
a
feawe
dayes
after
the
Admiralles
departure
,
the
yoong
Duke
of
Gwyse
being
perswaded
by
the
counsell
of
the
Cardinall
his
vncle
,
and
by
his
moothers
inticement
,
began
too
renew
the
old
quarell
of
hys
fathers
murther
.
The
King
therfore
vsing
his
authoritie
in
the
matter
,
did
set
downe
a
forme
of
composition
,
which
he
determined
too
haue
them
bothe
sworne
vntoo
,
and
too
confirme
it
with
their
seales
,
so
as
all
rememberance
of
that
dissension
should
bee
vtterly
wiped
away
.
Notwithstanding
,
when
as
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
came
too
Paris
within
a
feawe
dayes
after
with
a
greate
traine
of
armed
men
,
and
the
Admirall
(
who
was
then
gone
home
too
Shattilion
,
)
being
certified
therof
by
Telignie
his
sonne
in
lawe
,
requested
the
king
too
giue
him
leaue
to
keepe
somme
conuenient
garde
about
him
in
his
house
:
the
King
wrate
to
him
with
his
owne
hand
,
(
which
letter
was
deliuered
too
Mounsyre
Brikmaw
,
a
man
of
greate
estimation
,
too
cary
vnto
him
)
that
he
liked
very
well
that
he
should
take
as
good
heede
too
himself
as
he
could
,
giuing
him
leaue
too
gard
himself
&
his
castle
with
as
great
a
companie
as
he
listed
:
and
he
required
him
too
trust
too
his
good
will
towards
him
,
and
not
too
dowt
but
that
he
should
bothe
hope
for
and
looke
for
as
much
maintenance
at
his
hand
,
as
any
good
subiect
might
looke
for
at
a
good
princis
hand
.
This
letter
indited
with
manie
woordes
too
that
purpoze
,
many
men
red
with
greate
pleasure
,
bycawse
it
was
wrytten
with
the
Kings
owne
hand
:
and
now
they
thowght
that
his
good
will
towardes
the
Admirall
was
not
too
bee
dowted
of
anie
more
.
In
respect
wherof
,
Lewis
of
Nassaw
,
of
whom
I
haue
made
mention
afore
,
thinking
that
it
was
not
for
him
too
let
slip
this
occasion
of
speeding
his
owne
affaires
,
began
to
breake
with
the
king
(
who
had
inuited
him
secretly
too
the
Court
)
on
the
behalf
of
his
brother
the
Prince
of
Orendge
,
and
told
him
how
there
were
manie
Cities
in
Lowe
Duchland
,
which
were
so
werye
of
the
madnesse
,
lecherie
,
couetousnesse
and
crueltie
of
the
Spanyardes
,
that
if
he
woold
reache
them
his
helping
hand
,
they
woold
willingly
and
gladly
submit
themselues
too
his
tuicion
and
iurisdiction
.
When
certein
dayes
had
bin
spent
abowt
this
matter
,
at
length
the
king
made
the
Countie
of
Nassawe
faithfull
promis
,
that
he
woold
send
the
Admiral
thither
owt
of
hand
with
a
great
power
:
and
it
was
couenanted
betwixt
them
,
that
if
that
warre
had
good
successe
,
then
the
King
should
haue
all
the
Lowe
Countrie
from
Antwarp
too
Picardie
:
and
Holland
,
Zeland
,
and
Fryzeland
should
bee
left
too
the
Prince
of
Orendge
.
Abowt
the
same
time
were
letters
intercepted
from
Cardinall
Perlewe
too
the
Cardinall
of
Lorreine
:
the
conteintes
wherof
were
,
that
the
king
was
neuer
in
better
mynd
,
and
therfore
he
was
in
verye
good
hope
of
the
prosperous
successe
of
their
comon
conceites
,
by
reason
of
the
singular
earnestnesse
of
the
king
himself
,
and
of
the
Queene
Moother
,
and
of
Henry
the
Duke
of
Aniow
.
For
the
king
had
behaued
himself
much
more
wysely
,
and
played
his
part
farre
more
cunningly
at
the
Admiralles
comming
too
the
Court
,
than
anie
of
them
had
looked
for
:
by
meanes
wherof
the
king
had
made
the
Admirall
beleeue
,
that
there
was
no
occasion
left
why
he
should
suspect
him
,
or
think
amisse
of
his
good
wil
towards
him
,
which
thing
the
Cardinal
of
Lorrein
knew
wel
ynowgh
too
bee
the
growndwoork
of
all
the
deuyce
which
they
had
in
hand
.
And
wheras
communication
was
ministered
of
making
warre
vppon
the
king
of
Spayne
,
and
the
king
had
accepted
the
same
with
so
free
a
corage
,
as
the
Admirall
conceiued
verye
good
opinion
of
his
good
will
towardes
him
:
those
shiftes
were
too
bee
pursewed
,
till
their
secret
practyze
might
take
his
expected
euent
.
As
for
the
king
of
Spayne
,
he
was
diligently
informed
of
all
things
,
and
such
meanes
vsed
,
as
he
should
not
mislyke
of
the
preparature
of
warre
that
was
pretended
too
owtward
showe
,
bycawse
all
those
things
were
applyed
too
the
accomplishing
of
a
singular
good
purpose
.
Therfore
whatsoeuer
the
Cardinall
had
herd
too
haue
bin
doone
afore
,
or
should
heere
herafter
:
let
him
assure
himself
that
the
king
wold
not
start
from
the
thing
that
he
had
once
begonne
.
For
whatsoeuer
was
doone
or
too
bee
doone
,
was
directed
and
applied
too
the
end
of
their
determined
purpose
:
and
there
was
not
anie
thing
wherof
the
king
,
and
his
mother
,
and
his
brother
had
so
great
a
care
.
Wherfore
as
soone
as
the
matter
were
dispatched
,
he
woold
wryte
too
the
Cardinall
of
Lorrein
with
all
speede
,
&
send
him
a
sure
and
faithfull
messenger
for
the
nonce
.
As
towching
the
king
of
Nauarres
mariage
,
he
hoped
it
woold
bee
browght
of
a
hand
within
a
little
while
.
For
that
must
sette
their
matters
abroche
.
In
the
which
meane
season
,
the
time
that
was
appoynted
for
the
laying
of
the
fower
townes
too
pledge
woold
bee
ronne
owt
.
He
that
sent
the
Admirall
the
copie
of
this
letter
,
hoped
that
the
reading
therof
woold
forewarne
him
too
take
heede
too
himself
,
and
too
lay
for
the
safetie
of
his
state
.
But
he
trusted
so
much
too
the
kings
faithfulnesse
and
great
good
wil
towards
him
,
(
specially
bycawse
it
was
confirmed
by
the
continewall
perswasions
of
his
sonnylawe
Telignie
)
that
wheras
in
all
other
things
he
seemed
most
sharpwitted
,
and
of
very
greate
foresight
,
in
this
one
cace
he
was
by
a
kynd
of
destinie
stark
blynd
.
Howbeeit
forasmuch
as
there
is
a
treatise
set
foorth
alredy
,
intitled
the
declaration
of
the
Hellish
slawghter
,
conteyning
the
discourse
of
the
whole
matter
,
with
the
tragicall
issew
therof
,
and
the
celebrating
of
the
king
of
Nauarres
mariage
with
all
maner
of
pomp
and
royaltie
of
showes
:
I
will
as
now
set
downe
no
more
but
the
things
that
concerne
the
last
time
of
the
Admiralles
life
,
wherof
I
haue
gotten
most
certein
testimonies
.
Notwithstanding
,
I
will
first
set
downe
a
copie
of
a
letter
which
he
wrate
the
self
same
day
with
his
own
hand
from
Paris
,
too
his
wife
then
great
with
chyld
.
For
seing
I
had
the
originall
copie
in
my
hand
,
which
seemed
to
cary
greate
weyght
with
it
for
the
setting
foorth
of
the
truth
of
the
storie
:
I
thowght
it
was
not
to
be
let
passe
in
this
place
.
And
therfore
I
haue
translated
it
thus
,
in
maner
woord
for
woord
.
Greeting
.
This
day
(
my
right
deer
beloued
wife
)
is
the
mariage
of
the
kings
sister
,
&
of
the
king
of
Nauarre
celebrated
.
Theis
next
.3
.
dayes
wil
be
spent
in
playes
,
bankettings
,
masks
&
triumphs
.
The
king
hath
promised
me
faithfulli
,
that
afterward
he
wil
bestow
some
time
in
heering
the
complaints
that
are
brought
to
him
from
sundry
partes
of
his
realme
for
violating
of
his
edict
of
peace
.
In
which
matter
it
is
good
right
that
I
should
imploy
myself
to
the
vttermost
of
my
power
.
For
although
I
haue
great
desire
to
see
thee
,
yit
wold
it
be
a
greef
both
to
me
,
&
to
thee
also
(
as
I
think
)
if
my
indeuer
&
duetie
should
want
in
the
furtherance
of
that
matter
.
Neuertheles
,
this
let
wil
not
stay
my
departure
out
of
the
Citie
so
long
,
but
that
I
may
come
away
the
next
weeke
.
If
I
had
no
further
respect
than
of
my self
,
it
were
more
pleasure
for
mee
too
bee
with
thee
,
than
to
tary
any
longer
in
this
Court
,
for
causes
which
thou
shalt
know
of
mee
when
I
comme
home
.
But
I
must
haue
more
regard
of
the
comon
weale
,
than
of
priuate
loue
or
commoditie
.
I
haue
diuers
other
things
too
impart
too
thee
,
as
soone
as
I
may
conueniently
talke
with
thee
,
wherof
I
assure
thee
I
am
desirous
night
and
day
.
But
all
that
I
can
tell
thee
of
as
now
,
is
this
.
It
was
this
day
past
fower
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
,
ere
the
mariage
masse
was
celebrated
.
Whyle
that
was
a
singing
,
the
king
of
Nauarre
walked
vp
and
downe
with
certein
noblemen
of
our
Religion
which
followed
him
,
in
a
certein
yard
with
owt
the
Churche
.
There
are
a
nomber
of
smaller
things
,
which
I
will
deferre
till
wee
may
talk
toogither
.
In
the
meane
while
I
beseeche
God
too
preserue
thee
my
deerbeloued
and
moste
louing
wife
.
At
Paris
the
.18
.
of
August
.
1572.
A
three
dayes
ago
I
was
diseased
with
the
cholik
and
the
stone
.
But
(
as
God
woold
)
it
lasted
not
past
a
.9
.
or
.10
.
howres
:
and
as
now
(
such
is
Gods
goodnesse
)
I
am
free
from
all
such
peynes
.
I
promis
thee
I
will
trubble
none
of
them
in
the
thronges
of
their
feastes
&
playes
.
Once
agein
Farewell
.
The
subscription
of
the
letter
was
this
:
Thy
louing
husband
,
Shattilion
.
The
.5
.
day
after
the
Date
of
this
letter
,
which
was
the
.22
.
day
of
August
,
as
the
Admirall
went
homeward
from
the
kings
counsel
abowt
dinner
time
,
and
passed
by
the
house
of
Villemure
a
canon
,
scholemaister
too
the
yoong
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
he
was
striken
with
a
hargabus
shot
owt
of
a
Lattiswindowe
,
and
wownded
in
three
places
.
For
the
forefinger
of
his
ryght
hand
was
broken
in
peeces
,
and
hys
left
arme
shot
throwgh
with
two
pellets
of
brasse
:
which
thing
the
foremencioned
storie
of
the
hellish
slawghter
hathe
breefly
towched
.
Hervppon
the
Phisicions
and
Surgions
were
sent
for
owt
of
hand
,
among
whom
was
Ambrose
Parey
the
Kings
Surgion
,
which
was
takent
too
haue
greate
skill
in
Leachecraft
.
He
that
was
witnesse
of
the
things
insewing
,
did
bothe
see
them
and
also
hold
vp
the
Admiralles
arme
as
he
lay
vppon
his
bed
.
The
sayd
Ambrose
began
his
cure
at
the
broozed
finger
,
and
did
cut
it
of
not
without
putting
his
patient
to
great
peyne
.
For
inasmuch
as
his
pinsons
were
not
sharp
ynowgh
,
he
was
fayne
to
open
them
thryce
,
and
thryce
to
grype
them
ageine
togither
.
Afterward
he
launced
bothe
the
sids
of
his
left
arme
where
the
pellets
had
perced
through
:
the
peyne
wherof
the
Admirall
abode
,
not
only
with
a
stowt
corage
,
but
also
with
a
stedfast
countenance
.
Yea
and
wheras
they
that
hild
vp
his
armes
and
behild
those
launcings
were
not
able
to
forbeare
weeping
:
the
Admirall
perceyuing
them
too
bee
dismayd
,
sayd
vnto
them
.
Why
weepe
yee
my
freends
?
I
thinke
my self
blissed
in
suffering
these
wounds
for
Gods
name
sake
.
And
therewithall
looking
vppon
Merline
a
minister
of
Gods
word
,
my
freends
(
quoth
he
)
these
are
Gods
benefits
.
In
deede
I
am
full
of
peine
:
but
I
acknowledge
this
to
bee
the
will
of
our
Lord
God
,
and
I
think
his
maiestie
that
he
hath
voutsafed
me
so
greate
honour
,
as
to
lay
somme
crosse
vppon
mee
for
his
moste
holie
names
sake
.
Therfore
let
vs
pray
him
too
graunt
mee
the
gyft
of
perseuerance
.
Then
beholding
Merlyne
moorning
and
lamenting
.
My
Merlyne
(
quoth
he
)
why
dost
thou
not
rather
comfort
mee
?
Yee
say
truth
sir
(
aunswered
Merlyne
)
nother
is
there
any
greater
or
surer
comfort
for
you
,
than
to
thinke
continually
that
God
doth
you
greate
honour
,
in
deeming
you
worthye
to
suffer
these
greefes
for
his
name
and
religions
sake
.
My
Merlyne
(
replyed
the
Admirall
)
if
God
should
handle
mee
according
to
my
deserts
and
woorthynesse
,
and
deale
with
mee
according
too
his
iustice
:
I
shoulde
haue
farre
other
maner
of
greefes
too
indure
.
But
blessed
bee
his
Name
for
vsing
his
mercie
and
clemencie
towards
mee
his
moste
vnwoorthie
seruant
.
O
Sir
(
quoth
another
)
hold
yee
still
in
that
godlye
mynd
.
For
you
haue
cawse
too
giue
greate
thankes
too
him
for
his
goodnesse
,
in
that
he
hathe
left
you
the
moste
part
of
your
bodie
whole
and
sownde
.
Therefore
you
haue
in
these
wowndes
a
greater
warrant
of
Gods
mercye
,
than
token
of
his
wrath
:
specially
sith
he
hath
lefte
you
your
head
and
mynde
vnwounded
.
Then
answered
Merlyne
,
You
do
verye
well
too
turne
awaye
your
mynde
and
conceyt
from
your
strykers
,
and
from
them
that
gaue
you
these
wowndes
,
vntoo
God
alone
.
For
surely
it
was
his
hand
that
layd
these
strokes
vppon
you
,
and
it
is
no
tyme
for
you
too
thinke
now
vppon
the
cutthrots
and
murtherers
.
As
for
mee
(
quoth
the
Admirall
)
vndowtedly
I
forgiue
freely
and
with
all
my
hart
both
him
that
strake
me
,
and
them
that
did
set
the
striker
to
do
it
.
For
I
am
sure
it
is
not
in
their
power
too
do
mee
anye
harme
,
no
not
euen
thowgh
they
shoulde
kill
mee
:
for
I
am
out
of
all
dowt
,
that
deathe
is
too
mee
a
passage
vntoo
lyfe
,
which
saying
he
repeted
ageine
anon
after
too
the
Marshal
Mounsyre
Damuyle
,
who
came
too
him
too
visit
him
,
in
the
heering
of
Merlyne
,
who
escaped
the
slawghter
and
is
yit
still
alyue
.
And
when
the
same
Merlyne
told
him
that
the
calamities
and
myseryes
which
happen
too
godly
men
in
this
lyfe
,
do
comonly
stirre
them
vp
to
pray
vnto
God
the
more
earnestly
,
and
quicken
them
vp
to
reuerence
Gods
power
:
by
and
by
the
Admiral
did
burst
out
into
these
wordes
with
a
lowd
voyce
and
vehement
corage
,
saying
:
Lord
God
,
heauenly
father
,
pitie
me
of
thy
mercie
and
clemencie
,
and
remember
not
the
wickednesse
of
my
former
life
.
If
thou
looke
vppon
our
faults
,
and
vppon
our
lightnesse
and
vnfaythfulnes
in
breaking
of
thy
Lawes
,
Lord
who
shall
abide
it
?
who
shal
be
able
to
indure
the
force
of
thy
wrath
?
Setting
aside
all
fabulous
Gods
,
I
call
vppon
thee
alone
,
acknowledging
and
worshipping
thee
the
etetnall
father
of
the
eternall
God
Iesus
Christ
,
Throwgh
him
I
beseech
thee
to
graunt
mee
thy
holy
spirit
,
and
the
gift
of
pacience
.
In
thine
only
mercy
do
I
trust
.
In
that
only
is
my
whole
hope
repozed
.
Whither
it
be
thy
will
to
giue
me
present
death
,
or
to
prolong
my
life
yit
longer
,
behold
,
I
protest
my self
to
bee
readie
vnto
bothe
:
nothing
dowting
but
that
if
I
must
die
out
of
hand
,
thou
wilt
take
mee
out
of
hand
intoo
thy
blessed
and
heauenly
rest
.
And
if
thow
suffer
mee
too
continewe
longer
in
this
life
,
graunte
mee
O
heauenly
Father
,
that
I
maye
spende
the
reste
of
my
time
,
all
wholly
in
spreading
abrode
the
glorie
of
thy
name
,
and
in
the
reuerencing
and
obseruing
of
thy
most
holy
religion
.
When
he
had
ended
this
prayer
,
Merlyne
asked
of
him
neuerthelesse
,
whyther
it
could
like
him
that
his
Seruants
should
also
ioyne
their
prayers
with
his
.
To
whom
the
Admirall
answered
,
with
all
my
hart
,
and
you
Mayster
Merlyne
speake
on
in
the
behalfe
of
this
our
congregation
.
While
Merlyne
was
vttering
a
praier
applied
to
the
present
cace
,
the
Admiral
lifting
vp
his
eies
to
heauen
,
shewed
a
wonderfull
earnestnesse
of
mynd
in
praying
.
After
the
end
of
the
praier
,
when
Merline
alledged
the
examples
of
the
auncient
Martyrs
,
and
told
how
that
euen
from
Abraham
and
Adam
,
no
man
had
euer
imployed
his
seruis
notably
to
God
&
his
Churche
,
but
he
was
afflicted
with
many
inconueniences
:
the
Admirall
interrupting
his
speeche
,
sayd
he
felt
himselfe
greatly
confirmed
by
his
talke
,
and
tooke
greate
comfort
by
his
rehersall
of
those
Martyres
and
godly
fathers
,
and
that
his
greef
was
much
asswaged
by
it
.
Soone
after
,
Mounsyre
Cossey
&
Mounsyre
Damuyle
the
Marshalls
of
Fraunce
came
vnto
him
,
assuring
him
that
they
were
very
sorie
for
his
mischaunce
,
and
that
there
had
not
happened
any
thing
to
them
a
good
whyle
,
that
was
a
greater
greef
and
corzie
too
them
:
neuerthelesse
it
was
meete
and
agreeable
too
the
wonted
corage
of
his
mind
,
that
he
should
plucke
vp
his
hart
&
shew
himself
a
man
:
for
his
owne
prowesse
had
giuen
him
much
more
,
than
that
mishapp
could
take
away
.
Then
the
Admirall
turning
to
Cossey
,
said
:
You
remember
what
I
told
you
a
while
ago
:
vndowtedly
you
must
abide
as
much
your selfe
.
Then
said
the
Damuyle
,
my
Lord
Admiral
,
I
wil
not
take
vppon
me
either
to
comfort
you
or
to
incorage
you
to
valeantnes
and
constancie
of
mind
.
You
your self
are
he
from
whom
such
precepts
of
comfort
and
corageowsnesse
are
to
bee
taken
.
But
I
pray
you
see
wherin
my
seruis
may
pleasure
you
.
I
maruell
whence
these
things
come
.
The
Admirall
answered
:
other
than
the
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
I
suspect
none
:
and
yit
I
dare
not
affirme
that
for
a
certeintie
.
Notwithstanding
,
Gods
goodnesse
hath
lately
tawght
mee
,
to
feare
nother
myne
enemyes
nor
yit
death
,
which
I
knowe
to
be
vtterly
vnable
to
hurt
me
,
&
rather
to
be
a
blessed
and
euerlasting
rest
.
For
I
know
that
God
in
whom
alone
I
put
my
trust
,
is
nother
deceytfull
nor
vntrew
:
howbeeit
that
in
this
my
misfortune
,
nothing
hath
happened
more
to
my
greef
,
than
that
I
see
my selfe
bereft
of
libertie
,
to
shewe
to
the
King
how
much
I
was
mynded
to
haue
doone
for
his
sake
:
(
his
saying
so
,
was
in
respect
of
the
matter
concerning
Flaunders
.
)
Would
God
I
myght
talke
a
litle
with
him
,
for
I
haue
certein
things
which
it
standeth
him
greatly
on
hand
to
know
,
and
I
think
there
is
not
any
man
that
dareth
report
them
vntoo
him
.
In
the
meane
season
the
King
of
Nauarre
and
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
complayned
to
the
King
of
the
heynowsenesse
of
the
fact
.
To
whom
the
King
answered
thus
:
I
sweare
by
God
whom
I
take
too
witnesse
,
that
I
will
reuenge
this
fact
so
seuerely
,
as
it
may
bee
an
example
too
all
that
shall
come
after
.
The
woman
that
was
fownd
in
the
howse
(
wherowt
of
the
Hargabut
was
shot
at
the
Admirall
,
)
and
a
boy
of
hirs
were
taken
and
cast
in
prizon
.
Abowt
twoo
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
,
the
King
being
certified
of
the
Admiralls
desyre
,
went
vntoo
him
,
accompanyed
with
the
Queene
moother
,
the
Kings
twoo
brothers
,
the
Duke
Mounpauncer
,
the
Cardinalls
of
Burbon
,
Mounsyre
Damuyle
,
Mounsyre
Tauanne
,
and
Mounsyre
Cossey
Marshalls
of
Fraunce
,
the
Countie
of
Rhets
,
Mounsyre
Torrey
and
Mounsyre
Meruey
the
Damuyles
brothers
,
after
whom
followed
Gonzaga
Duke
of
Niuers
.
At
the
first
the
King
commaunded
all
that
were
of
the
Admirals
howshold
to
be
shet
out
of
the
chamber
,
sauing
Mounsyre
Telignie
and
his
wife
,
and
one
persone
that
scaped
alyue
from
the
slawghter
,
who
marked
aduyzedly
what
was
doone
and
sayd
at
that
time
.
When
the
king
was
come
to
the
bedds
side
,
I
thanke
your
maiestie
most
humbly
(
quoth
the
Admiral
)
that
you
haue
vowtsafed
me
so
great
honour
,
and
taken
so
great
peines
for
my
sake
.
The
King
pretending
gladnes
for
that
great
corage
of
his
mynd
,
willed
him
with
very
faire
words
to
hope
well
,
&
to
be
of
good
confort
.
Sir
(
quoth
the
Admiral
)
ther
are
three
things
wherof
I
was
desirous
to
talk
with
your
maiestie
.
The
first
is
myne
owne
faythfulnes
&
allegeance
towards
your
highnesse
.
So
may
I
haue
the
fauour
&
mercie
of
God
,
at
whose
iudgmentseate
this
mischaunce
wil
peraduenture
set
mee
ere
it
bee
long
,
as
I
haue
euer
borne
a
good
hart
to
your
maiesties
person
&
crown
.
And
yit
I
am
not
ignorant
how
oft
maliciowse
persones
haue
accuzed
me
too
your
highnesse
,
and
charged
mee
as
a
trubbler
of
the
state
.
But
(
as
God
would
)
the
matter
it selfe
hath
sufficiently
shewed
,
thowgh
I
my selfe
should
hold
my
peace
,
that
the
only
cawse
of
all
those
greate
slaunders
is
,
that
I
haue
withstoode
those
mennes
ouerboldnes
and
owtrage
,
and
defended
the
authoritie
of
your
Edicts
ageinst
their
trubblesum
and
violent
attempts
,
and
could
not
beare
that
they
should
breake
the
promis
which
you
had
made
so
often
with
othe
vntoo
your
subiects
.
Of
this
my
meening
God
is
best
witnesse
,
who
will
examin
the
cace
betweene
me
and
my
backefreends
,
and
decyde
it
according
to
his
righteowsensse
.
Agein
,
forasmuchas
I
haue
bin
aduaunced
to
so
greate
honour
and
authoritie
in
this
Realme
by
your
maiesties
father
and
graundfather
,
and
confirmed
in
the
same
by
your
bownteowsenesse
:
I
cannot
discharge
my
dewtie
towards
you
,
without
making
humble
petition
to
you
,
too
vowtsafe
too
remedie
the
greate
number
of
hurlyburlyes
that
haue
kept
your
Realme
occupyed
now
a
good
whyle
.
Now
come
I
too
the
Flaunders
matter
.
Neuer
any
of
your
aunceters
had
so
notable
an
occasion
of
welspeeding
.
Many
Cities
of
nether
Dutcheland
do
sew
for
your
frendship
,
as
you
know
,
and
are
desirous
to
commit
them selues
to
your
protection
.
This
occasion
I
see
to
bee
openly
skorned
in
your
Court
,
and
to
bee
taken
from
you
throwgh
the
fault
of
a
feaw
.
Now
alate
,
the
army
that
Mounsyre
Genlys
led
,
was
surpryzed
of
the
Duke
of
Alua
by
a
trayne
,
and
for
the
most
part
discomfited
and
put
too
the
swoord
.
You
knowe
what
a
sort
of
Catholikes
were
in
that
armie
.
Now
what
Religion
suppoze
you
them
too
bee
of
,
or
what
mynd
thinke
you
that
they
beare
towards
their
owne
countrymen
and
followers
of
the
same
religion
,
which
make
but
a
mock
at
so
greate
slawghter
of
them
?
A
strawe
can
scarce
be
stirred
in
your
secret
counsell
,
nor
any
voyce
bee
vttered
there
,
but
it
is
byandby
caryed
too
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
I
beseeche
you
,
can
wee
hope
for
any
thing
,
when
they
that
are
of
the
priuie
counsell
with
your self
or
your
brothers
,
do
blowe
abrode
euen
your
secretest
deuyces
too
straungers
,
yea
and
to
your
enemyes
?
Sir
,
I
would
verye
fayne
that
you
had
a
care
of
this
thing
,
and
I
beseeche
you
so
haue
hereafter
.
The
last
,
which
I
would
wish
you
too
haue
no
lesse
care
of
,
is
the
obseruing
of
your
Edict
of
pacification
.
You
knowe
you
haue
oftentymes
confirmed
it
by
othe
:
and
you
knowe
that
not
only
forrein
nacions
,
but
also
your
neybowrprinces
and
freends
are
witnesses
of
the
oft
renewing
of
the
same
othe
.
O
Sir
,
how
vnseemely
is
it
that
this
your
othe
should
bee
counted
welneere
but
for
a
iest
and
moccage
,
as
it
is
now
comonly
taken
.
Will
forrein
Princes
and
nacions
make
any
account
hereafter
of
you
or
of
your
promis
?
Within
these
feawe
dayes
past
,
as
a
Nurce
was
carrying
home
of
a
yong
babe
from
baptim
not
farre
from
Troys
in
Shampayne
,
and
was
returning
from
a
sermon
that
was
made
in
a
certeine
village
by
you
assigned
for
the
same
purpoze
:
certeine
seditiowse
persones
which
lay
in
wait
by
the
way
,
killed
both
the
Nurce
and
the
chyld
,
and
somme
of
the
companie
which
had
bin
bidden
to
the
Christening
,
Consider
I
beseeche
you
how
horrible
the
owtrage
of
that
murther
was
,
and
how
well
it
may
stand
with
your
honour
and
dignitie
,
too
suffer
so
greate
owtrages
vnreuenged
and
vnpunished
in
your
kingdome
.
Too
this
his
oration
the
king
answered
thus
:
that
he
neuer
dowted
of
his
faythfulnesse
,
but
tooke
him
for
a
good
subiect
,
a
valeant
man
,
and
an
excellent
Captein
,
euen
for
such
a
one
as
none
was
comparable
too
him
in
all
his
Realme
.
And
if
I
had
had
any
other
opinion
of
you
(
quoth
he
)
:
I
woold
neuer
haue
doone
as
I
did
.
It
was
marked
aduyzedly
,
that
the
King
answered
not
one
woord
concerning
the
Flaunders
affaires
,
and
that
he
answered
to
the
third
poynt
thus
.
That
he
ment
nothing
more
than
that
his
Edictes
of
pacification
should
bee
kept
faithfully
and
seuerely
:
and
that
for
the
same
cawse
he
had
sent
commissioners
intoo
all
partes
of
his
Realme
,
for
witnesse
wherof
he
cyted
foorthwith
the
Queene
his
moother
,
who
turning
too
the
Admirall
,
sayd
,
my
Lord
,
there
is
nothing
trewer
:
Commissioners
are
sent
foorth
intoo
all
partes
.
Yea
(
quoth
the
Admirall
)
of
that
sort
of
men
which
valewed
my
head
at
the
pryce
of
fiftie
thowsand
Crownes
.
Then
sayd
the
King
,
my
Lord
Admirall
,
it
is
too
bee
feared
least
this
contention
impaire
your
health
,
it
is
better
for
yow
too
take
your
rest
,
the
hurt
is
yours
,
but
the
despyte
is
myne
.
But
I
sweare
too
you
by
the
lyfe
of
God
,
that
I
will
punish
this
fact
so
seuerely
,
as
it
shal
bee
remembered
for
euer
.
Wee
haue
a
woman
and
a
boy
in
prizon
,
which
were
taken
in
the
howse
.
Is
it
your
desire
too
haue
anie
too
sit
vppon
the
examinacion
and
iudgment
of
them
?
As
for
that
matter
(
quoth
the
Admirall
)
I
referre
it
too
your
maiesties
owne
discretion
and
iustice
.
Notwithstanding
,
forasmuch
as
you
requyre
mine
aduice
,
I
wold
wish
that
Mounsyre
Cauanie
,
and
Mounsyre
Masparotte
were
called
too
the
dooing
of
it
.
Also
the
Admirall
named
a
third
persone
,
but
he
that
is
the
witnesse
of
this
talke
hath
forgotten
his
name
.
The
Admirall
added
,
surely
I
think
there
needes
no
farre
serche
too
bee
made
for
the
author
of
this
deede
.
Uppon
theis
woords
the
king
and
the
Queene
Mother
went
neerer
the
Admirals
pillow
,
and
talked
with
him
softly
.
Of
which
communication
he
that
stoode
by
the
beds
side
could
heere
nothing
else
,
but
that
at
the
last
the
Queene
sayd
,
Although
I
be
but
a
woman
,
yit
I
am
of
opinion
that
it
is
to
be
loked
too
betimes
.
The
king
at
his
going
away
,
connseled
the
Admirall
too
bee
remoued
into
the
palace
:
and
so
sayd
the
Countie
Rets
once
or
twice
too
the
Admirals
sonnylaw
,
&
too
the
other
that
stoode
at
the
beds
side
:
adding
further
,
that
he
feared
that
the
men
of
Paris
woold
make
such
a
stirre
,
as
the
king
shuld
not
wel
be
able
to
appeaze
.
It
was
answered
him
that
none
of
all
the
Surgions
allowed
that
deuyce
,
but
were
all
of
opinion
,
that
the
peyne
of
his
wounds
being
so
greene
,
wold
increace
by
the
shaking
of
his
bodie
.
And
as
for
the
Parisians
,
they
were
no
more
too
bee
feared
than
a
sort
of
women
,
so
long
as
the
king
continued
his
faithfull
good
will
towardes
the
Admirall
:
For
the
name
of
King
was
of
such
estimation
euery
where
throwghout
all
Fraunce
,
and
specially
in
Paris
,
that
the
very
mention
therof
woold
owt
of
hand
appeaze
the
comon
people
,
were
they
neuer
so
furiowse
&
out
of
their
right
wits
.
Then
the
king
wold
needes
see
the
brazen
pellet
wherwith
the
Admirall
was
wounded
,
and
asked
of
him
whither
he
felt
anie
great
peine
when
his
finger
was
cut
of
,
and
his
arme
launced
.
And
wheras
he
that
shewed
him
the
pellet
,
had
the
sleeue
of
hys
cote
alberayed
with
blud
:
the
king
demaunded
of
him
,
whither
that
were
doone
with
the
Admirals
blud
or
no
,
and
whither
much
blud
had
issewed
from
hys
woundes
or
no.
Too
whom
the
other
answered
as
he
thowght
good
:
Then
,
I
am
sure
(
quoth
the
king
)
that
there
is
not
a
stowter
nor
a
constanter
man
too
bee
found
this
day
in
the
world
:
and
therwithall
he
deliuered
him
the
pellet
agein
.
Which
when
his
mother
comming
after
him
had
behild
,
I
am
glad
(
quoth
she
)
that
the
pellet
is
owt
of
his
flesh
:
for
I
remember
,
that
when
the
Duke
of
Gwise
was
slain
in
his
camp
,
some
surgions
told
me
,
that
although
ther
had
bin
some
poison
mixed
with
it
,
yit
there
was
no
daunger
when
the
pellet
was
once
out
.
Then
said
another
,
Madame
,
we
were
not
so
contented
,
but
we
gaue
the
Admiral
a
drink
,
to
help
him
betimes
if
any
poyson
had
bin
mixed
with
it
.
Anon
after
when
the
king
was
gone
out
,
the
Lord
Iohn
Ferrers
the
Uidame
of
Sharters
entering
intoo
the
Admiralles
chamber
,
and
comforting
hym
with
manie
woordes
,
added
at
the
last
,
that
his
enemyes
had
openly
bewrayed
their
cowardlinesse
,
in
that
they
durst
not
assaile
him
otherwise
than
at
a
Lattiswindowe
:
and
that
the
Admiral
was
blissed
and
happie
,
in
that
he
had
hild
owt
in
renowme
of
so
greate
prowesse
vntoo
that
age
.
Too
whom
the
Admirall
answered
:
Nay
,
I
think
my self
blessed
in
that
God
hath
vowtsafed
too
powre
owt
his
mercie
vpon
me
.
For
they
bee
rightly
happie
,
whose
sinnes
and
wickednesse
God
forgiueth
.
Not
long
after
,
by
the
aduice
of
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
&
of
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
the
cheef
Lords
went
toogither
intoo
a
parlour
vnderneathe
the
Admiralles
chamber
,
too
see
what
counsell
might
bee
taken
as
the
matter
and
tyme
required
.
There
the
Lord
Ferrers
shewed
wyth
manie
earnest
woordes
,
that
the
best
was
too
get
them
spedily
owt
of
Paris
,
for
it
was
not
too
bee
dowted
,
but
that
this
was
as
the
first
pageant
of
some
tragedie
,
wherof
the
rest
should
followe
soone
after
.
Others
reasoned
ageinst
it
,
saying
it
was
ynowgh
if
they
demaunded
Iustice
at
the
kings
hand
,
so
as
he
should
commaund
an
inquirie
too
bee
made
of
the
fact
,
and
iudgment
too
bee
executed
accordingly
:
in
which
opinion
Mounsyre
Telignie
stoode
very
stifly
,
affirming
that
he
knew
the
kings
mind
throwghly
and
assuredly
,
and
therfore
that
they
owght
not
too
think
amisse
of
his
good
will
.
The
next
day
,
certeine
of
the
Admirals
freends
hauing
aduertizement
that
there
was
much
huffling
and
shuffling
in
the
Citie
,
and
priuie
conueying
of
armour
&
weapon
togither
in
manie
places
:
thought
it
very
expedient
too
consult
of
the
matter
betymes
,
and
that
no
good
was
too
bee
looked
for
of
such
turmoyling
and
huddling
toogither
.
Hervppon
charge
was
giuen
to
one
of
them
that
are
witnesses
of
theis
things
,
too
go
too
the
king
,
and
too
certifie
him
of
the
stirring
of
the
people
and
the
clattering
of
armour
,
and
therwithall
too
request
him
too
commaund
somme
competent
nomber
of
his
gard
to
kepe
watch
at
the
Admiralles
gate
,
for
his
defence
.
As
soone
as
the
king
herd
that
,
byandby
beeing
sore
displeazed
with
it
(
as
it
seemed
)
and
marueling
at
it
,
he
began
too
inquire
of
him
who
had
told
it
him
,
and
whither
it
were
reported
so
too
the
Admiral
:
and
therwithall
commaunded
the
Countie
Rhetes
to
call
the
Quene
his
moother
.
The
Queene
was
scarce
come
in
,
but
the
king
being
in
a
greate
chafe
(
as
it
should
seeme
)
sayd
,
what
a
mischeef
?
What
a
doo
is
heere
?
This
man
telles
mee
that
the
people
are
in
an
vprore
,
and
redy
too
put
on
armour
.
They
bee
in
no
vprore
,
sayd
shee
,
nother
doo
they
arme
themselues
:
but
you
know
you
haue
giuen
commaundment
,
that
euery
man
should
keepe
himself
within
his
owne
warde
till
the
breake
of
day
,
least
any
tumult
myght
perchaunce
insew
.
That
is
trew
(
quoth
the
king
)
but
yit
I
gaue
charge
that
no
man
should
put
on
armour
.
Then
the
other
man
,
too
go
throwgh
with
the
rest
of
his
errand
,
desired
the
king
too
send
sum
part
of
his
gard
too
the
Admirall
.
Too
whom
the
Duke
of
Angeow
,
who
was
comme
thither
with
his
moother
,
sayd
:
very
well
,
take
Mounsyre
Cossins
too
yow
with
fiftie
Hargabuttes
.
No
(
quoth
the
other
)
it
is
ynowgh
for
vs
if
wee
may
haue
but
six
of
the
kings
gard
with
vs
.
For
they
shall
beare
as
much
sway
with
the
people
,
as
a
greater
number
of
armed
men
.
Nay
mary
,
(
quoth
the
King
)
and
so
said
the
Duke
of
Aniow
too
,
take
Mounsyre
Cossins
too
yow
:
yow
cannot
chooze
a
fitter
man
.
At
which
woordes
,
vttered
(
as
it
should
seeme
)
with
stomack
inough
,
the
messenger
who
knew
Mounsyre
Cossins
to
be
the
Admirals
deadly
enemie
,
was
notwithstanding
stryken
dumb
.
And
ere
he
was
gone
farre
from
the
chamber
,
he
fownd
Mounsyre
Thorrey
the
Marshall
Memorancies
brother
,
who
whispering
in
his
eare
,
sayd
:
there
could
not
a
more
hatefull
keeper
haue
bin
appoynted
too
yow
.
Too
whom
the
other
answered
,
yow
see
how
skornfully
the
king
commaunded
it
:
wee
haue
committed
our selues
too
his
courtesie
:
but
yit
yow
are
witnesses
of
my
former
answer
too
the
kings
appoyntment
.
Within
a
feaw
howres
after
,
Mounsyre
Cossins
came
too
the
Admirals
lodging
,
accompanied
with
50.
hargabutters
:
and
choze
twoo
howses
next
it
for
himself
to
place
his
warders
in
.
And
anon
after
folowed
Rambulet
the
knyght
Herbinger
,
who
according
too
the
Duke
of
Angeowes
mynd
,
which
he
had
giuen
foorth
in
his
former
talk
,
commaunded
all
the
noblemen
and
gentlemen
that
were
Catholikes
,
too
remoue
owt
of
that
streete
,
and
too
lodge
sumwhere
else
,
and
distributed
those
lodgings
too
the
Admirals
freends
&
acquaintance
.
Than
the
which
deuice
none
could
be
inuented
either
more
suttle
or
fitter
for
performance
of
the
things
that
came
to
passe
afterward
.
Towardes
the
euening
there
happened
a
thing
that
gaue
many
men
no
small
occasion
of
mistrust
.
A
certein
lad
browght
a
cupple
of
borespeares
to
the
Admirals
lodging
by
the
commaundment
of
Thelignie
,
whom
Cossins
bade
backe
,
and
woold
not
suffer
the
borespeares
too
bee
caryed
in
.
The
matter
was
reported
to
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
who
was
within
with
the
Admirall
.
Whervpon
he
came
downe
and
asked
of
Cossins
how
he
durst
be
so
bold
as
to
do
so
.
Mounsyre
Cossins
answered
him
flatly
,
that
he
did
it
by
the
kings
commaundment
&
appoyntment
.
Neuerthelesse
(
quoth
he
)
seing
it
is
your
pleasure
,
let
them
bee
caryed
in
.
The
same
day
the
king
[
of
Nauarre
]
had
sent
secretly
too
his
freends
,
and
often
warned
them
too
repaire
as
manie
as
myght
bee
,
neere
vntoo
the
Admiralles
lodging
,
&
too
fill
all
that
warde
.
Within
feawe
howres
after
,
there
was
a
counsell
called
vnder
the
Admiralles
chamber
,
Where
Marline
renewing
the
former
opinion
,
was
very
earnest
too
haue
the
Admirall
conueyed
owt
of
Paris
,
and
that
his
freendes
and
familiars
should
depart
with
him
:
for
he
sawe
manie
things
euery
howre
,
which
did
greatly
increace
his
mistrust
of
bad
meazure
.
Contrariwyse
,
all
the
residew
for
the
moste
part
were
of
opinion
that
Iustice
was
too
bee
demaunded
at
the
Kings
hande
,
and
that
request
was
too
bee
made
,
that
all
the
Gwisians
should
departe
owt
of
Paris
,
bycawse
they
bare
too
muche
sway
wyth
the
people
of
the
Towne
.
Which
opinion
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
and
the
Prince
of
Condey
,
and
well
neere
all
the
rest
allowed
,
and
refuzed
the
other
:
so
much
the
rather
,
bycawse
Mounsyre
Telignie
auowched
that
the
king
should
bee
wronged
,
if
any
man
should
dout
of
his
faithfulnesse
and
vpright
dealing
:
wherfore
it
should
suffyze
too
demaund
Iustice
meeldly
and
quietly
at
his
hand
:
for
the
matter
was
yit
greene
,
and
if
any
ouergreat
stoutnesse
should
bee
vzed
,
it
were
too
bee
feared
least
the
king
woold
bee
offended
at
it
.
In
that
Counsell
was
present
one
Bucauan
a
Picard
:
and
it
was
marked
that
he
spake
not
one
woord
,
but
hild
his
peace
&
noted
euery
mannes
opinion
,
which
dealing
did
greatly
increace
the
suspicion
that
had
bin
conceyued
of
him
nowe
long
ago
.
For
manie
thowght
it
straunge
,
that
he
professing
the
purer
religion
,
should
notwithstanding
bee
so
hyghly
in
fauour
with
the
Queene
Moother
,
and
resort
so
often
too
the
Countie
Rhetes
,
and
others
of
the
Queenes
familiar
freendes
.
Abowt
the
third
howre
of
the
nyght
,
there
rose
another
occasion
of
suspicion
throwghe
Mounsyre
Cossins
frowardnesse
:
who
espying
the
Corselets
of
Mounsyre
Telignie
,
and
Mounsyre
Gwerchie
too
bee
browght
in
,
did
put
backe
the
bringer
.
Uppon
the
knowledge
wherof
,
Gwerchie
being
of
warlike
disposition
,
and
very
feerce
of
nature
,
went
owt
too
Cossins
,
and
giuing
him
euill
language
,
was
like
too
haue
made
a
fray
with
him
.
But
Telignie
appeazed
the
quarell
with
gentle
speeche
:
for
(
as
all
men
report
)
he
was
a
yoongman
of
a
meeld
and
meeke
dispozition
,
and
such
a
one
as
being
deceiued
wyth
the
Kings
fayre
words
,
was
woont
to
aduance
and
commend
his
sinceritie
without
meazure
or
end
.
Therefore
when
as
Gwerche
and
diuers
others
asked
of
him
whither
he
thought
it
good
for
them
to
tarie
and
keepe
watch
all
night
in
the
Admiralls
howse
,
he
answered
them
all
that
it
was
labour
more
than
needed
,
and
gaue
them
thanks
with
very
louing
words
.
By
meanes
wherof
it
fel
out
,
that
none
lodged
in
the
Admirals
house
that
night
,
but
only
Cornaton
,
Labon
,
Yolette
the
Mayster
of
the
Admiralls
horses
,
Merline
the
minister
of
Gods
word
,
Ambrose
the
Kings
Surgion
,
the
Admiralls
chamberseruants
,
and
a
fower
or
fyue
other
seruants
at
the
most
.
For
Telignie
had
gotten
himself
with
his
wife
intoo
his
owne
howse
which
ioyned
wall
to
wall
to
the
Admiralls
lodging
.
Neuerthelesse
there
watched
fyue
Swissers
of
the
King
of
Nauarres
gard
at
the
gate
of
the
owtter
court
,
whom
he
had
commaunded
to
tarie
there
all
night
for
the
Admiralles
defence
.
Sommewhat
before
daylyght
,
woorde
was
browght
to
Labon
,
that
there
was
one
at
the
gate
sent
by
the
King
to
the
Admirall
,
who
desired
too
bee
let
in
.
Labon
taking
the
keyes
ranne
too
the
gate
out
of
hand
and
opened
it
.
Byandby
Cossens
cawght
hold
of
him
and
killed
him
with
his
dagger
:
and
being
garded
with
his
hargabuzers
,
he
rushed
foorthwith
into
the
howse
,
&
killed
somme
running
away
amazed
and
othersomme
as
they
met
him
:
and
set
all
on
a
noize
and
vprore
.
Then
brake
he
open
the
doore
at
the
stayers
foote
,
and
althowgh
he
slew
one
of
the
Swissers
with
the
shot
of
a
hargabut
:
yit
was
he
kept
from
comming
vp
the
staires
,
by
setting
certeine
chests
in
his
way
.
The
Admirall
and
they
that
were
with
him
,
being
waked
with
the
noyze
of
the
pistole●s
and
Curriers
,
&
dowting
not
but
that
their
enemyes
were
broken
in
vpon
them
,
did
forthwith
fal
flat
vpon
the
ground
,
&
began
to
pray
for
peace
at
Gods
hand
,
and
too
call
vnto
him
for
mercie
.
The
Admirall
himself
being
lifted
out
of
his
bed
,
and
hauing
put
on
his
nightgowne
,
commaunded
Merlyne
too
make
prayers
before
him
,
and
he
calling
vpon
Christ
our
God
with
vehement
sighing
,
fell
too
commending
of
his
spirit
intoo
his
hands
,
which
he
had
receiued
of
God
to
inioy
.
When
the
witnesse
of
all
theis
things
came
into
his
chamber
,
being
demaunded
of
Ambrose
the
Surgion
what
noyze
that
was
:
he
turned
himself
to
the
Admirall
and
sayd
:
Sir
,
it
is
God
that
calleth
vs
vntoo
him
.
They
haue
broken
intoo
the
howse
,
&
there
is
no
way
too
withstand
them
.
As
for
mee
(
quoth
the
Admirall
)
I
haue
prepared
myself
vntoo
death
afore
hand
.
Shift
yow
for
yourselues
if
yow
can
possibly
:
for
it
wil
bee
in
vaine
for
yow
too
go
abowt
too
saue
my
life
.
I
commend
my
sowle
to
Gods
mercy
.
They
that
are
the
witnesses
of
theis
things
,
noted
that
the
Admirall
did
no
more
chaunge
his
countenance
at
theis
dooings
,
than
if
no
straunge
thing
at
all
had
happened
vntoo
him
.
All
the
residew
(
sauing
only
Nicolas
Muskie
,
a
right
trustie
seruaunt
of
his
,
&
his
interpreter
for
the
Dutche
tong
)
getting
themselues
away
intoo
the
garrettes
of
the
howse
,
and
finding
a
windowe
in
the
roofe
,
fell
too
shifting
for
their
liues
by
flight
,
and
diuers
of
them
scaped
by
the
benefite
of
the
night
.
By
that
time
Cossins
hauing
remoued
the
chests
,
and
the
other
stoppes
that
were
cast
in
hys
waye
,
browght
in
first
certein
of
the
Swissers
apparelled
in
longcotes
garded
with
blacke
,
white
,
and
greene
,
wherby
it
was
perceyued
that
they
were
of
the
Duke
of
Aniowes
gard
.
Theis
beholding
their
fower
countrymen
vppon
the
stayers
,
did
hurt
none
of
them
.
But
Cossins
being
armed
with
a
Corslet
&
a
sheeld
,
and
brandishing
his
naked
swoord
in
his
hand
,
did
by
and
by
commaunde
the
hargabuzere
that
was
next
him
too
shoote
at
them
,
with
which
shot
one
of
them
was
striken
stark
dead
owt
of
hand
.
Assoone
as
they
were
broken
intoo
the
Admirals
chamber
,
one
Beheme
a
Germane
,
borne
in
the
Dukedome
of
Wirtemberg
,
(
whose
father
(
by
report
)
was
the
maister
of
the
ordinance
,
)
being
the
first
that
stept
intoo
the
chamber
,
and
seeing
the
Admirall
sitting
there
,
said
:
Art
not
thou
the
Admirall
?
Yis
I
am
he
(
quoth
the
Admirall
:
)
and
thou
yoong
man
haue
regard
of
my
hore
heade
and
old
age
.
But
Beheme
without
giuing
him
any
mo
woordes
,
strake
him
on
the
heade
with
his
swoord
,
and
was
the
first
that
imbrued
himself
with
the
Admiralles
blud
.
After
him
followed
Cossins
,
Attignie
,
and
all
the
residew
.
As
for
the
rest
of
the
things
that
concerne
the
murthers
&
saccages
that
were
done
in
Paris
those
.2
.
whole
dayes
togither
,
they
be
recorded
alredy
in
the
foresaid
discourse
of
the
hellish
manslawghter
.
The
Admiralls
bodie
being
throwne
downe
out
of
a
windowe
,
was
trampled
vnder
foote
by
the
yong
Duke
of
Gwyse
,
and
anon
after
tumbled
into
the
myre
in
the
open
streete
,
and
mangled
and
vsed
with
all
the
vilanie
that
might
be
,
and
a
three
dayes
after
caried
out
of
the
Citie
by
the
furious
multitude
,
and
hanged
vp
by
the
feete
vppon
the
gallowes
of
Mountfalcon
.
There
it
remayned
certeine
dayes
as
a
banner
of
the
people
of
Parisis
victorie
,
and
as
a
monument
of
their
madnesse
and
crueltie
,
which
they
executed
vppon
him
bothe
quicke
&
deade
:
which
deede
will
not
only
neuer
be
forgotten
,
but
also
bee
the
destruction
of
Paris
,
as
a
nomber
of
wise
and
discreete
men
foredeeme
.
But
within
a
feaw
dayes
after
,
the
Admiralls
bodie
was
taken
downe
in
the
night
by
certeine
horsmen
,
and
buryed
in
a
secret
place
.
Among
diuers
wrytings
that
were
taken
in
the
riffeling
of
his
stuffe
,
was
fownd
his
will
,
made
a
litle
before
the
end
of
the
last
warres
,
which
the
Queene
moother
commaunded
too
bee
red
before
certeine
of
hir
familiar
freends
.
In
the
same
there
was
one
article
,
wherin
the
testator
counselled
the
King
,
that
he
should
not
gine
his
brothers
too
greate
richesse
,
and
authoritie
.
At
the
heering
wherof
,
the
Queene
turning
too
Frauncis
Duke
of
Alaunson
the
Kings
brother
,
said
:
Lo
heere
your
odde
frend
the
Admiral
,
whom
you
loued
so
deerely
and
set
so
much
store
by
.
To
whom
the
Duke
of
Alaunson
answered
:
I
cannot
tell
how
much
he
was
my
freend
:
but
surely
he
hath
well
shewed
,
euen
by
this
counsel
,
how
greatly
he
loued
the
king
.
Not
vnlike
too
this
was
the
Quene
of
Inglands
Ambassadours
answer
.
Who
,
when
the
Queene
moother
told
him
that
the
Admiral
had
counseled
the
king
too
bee
alwayes
gelows
of
the
power
of
Ingland
:
answered
,
surely
that
mind
of
his
was
euill
towardes
Inglande
,
but
singularly
good
towardes
Fraunce
.
When
tidings
of
the
slaughter
at
Paris
was
caried
into
Ingland
,
Scotland
,
and
Germanie
,
too
such
as
hild
the
same
Religion
of
the
Gospell
which
the
Admirall
had
doone
:
it
is
incredible
too
tell
how
greate
hatred
it
procured
too
the
king
and
the
Queene
moteer
,
specially
forasmuch
as
in
those
feawe
dayes
,
almost
ten
thowsand
Protestants
being
striken
in
feare
,
and
amazed
with
that
storme
,
fled
intoo
those
countries
:
who
making
report
that
the
Admirall
was
a
noble
gentleman
,
a
great
and
wise
capteine
,
and
the
glorie
of
their
countrie
,
blazed
the
authors
of
that
wickednesse
for
ranke
murtherers
.
Too
the
increace
wherof
made
also
the
speeches
and
complaintes
of
diuers
yoong
Gentlemen
of
Germanie
,
who
being
sent
into
Fraunce
too
studie
there
,
and
being
striken
in
feare
with
the
sayd
storme
,
returned
home
for
the
moste
part
spoyled
and
stripped
owt
of
all
that
euer
they
had
,
and
therfore
cursed
not
only
the
owtrageous
heinousnesse
of
the
fact
,
but
also
the
whole
realme
of
Fraunce
among
their
parentes
and
kinsfolke
.
Othersomme
which
had
serued
the
Admiral
in
the
former
warres
,
commended
his
vertue
euerywhere
among
the
princes
of
Germanie
.
For
(
which
is
thowght
too
bee
the
hardest
thing
in
Martiall
affayres
)
he
excelled
not
only
in
counsell
,
but
also
in
prowesse
,
wheras
comonly
wisdome
breedeth
fearfulnesse
,
and
corage
breedeth
rashnesse
.
Furthermore
,
not
a
fewe
which
were
familiarly
acquainted
wyth
the
Admirals
life
and
conuersation
at
home
in
hys
owne
house
,
going
abrode
among
princes
,
commended
him
with
singular
praises
for
his
innocencie
,
stayednesse
,
mildnesse
,
and
woonderfull
zelowsenesse
in
following
the
religion
:
which
thing
might
bee
cheefly
perceiued
by
the
inward
conuersation
of
his
life
at
home
,
wherof
I
wil
adde
sumwhat
heere
,
which
I
know
for
certeintie
,
partly
by
the
record
of
other
men
,
and
partly
by
mine
owne
sight
and
beholding
.
At
his
first
rizing
in
the
mornings
,
(
which
was
meetly
early
adayes
)
he
woold
cast
his
nightgowne
abowt
him
,
and
kneeling
downe
vppon
his
knees
,
take
vppon
him
too
be
as
the
mouth
of
his
whole
companie
in
praying
and
calling
vppon
God
.
And
so
the
residew
kneeled
all
downe
after
his
example
,
and
Prayer
was
made
in
the
same
maner
that
is
vsed
comonly
in
the
Frenche
Churches
.
After
the
end
of
prayer
,
looke
what
time
was
betweene
that
and
the
Sermon
time
,
he
bestowed
it
euerywhit
,
either
in
hearing
of
the
delegates
of
the
Churches
that
were
sent
vntoo
him
,
or
in
the
dispatching
of
other
publik
affaires
.
For
afterward
,
eche
other
day
there
was
a
sermon
at
warning
giuen
,
and
some
certeine
Psalme
of
Dauid
was
sung
.
When
the
Sermon
was
done
,
he
returned
too
his
businesse
,
vntill
dinner
time
.
Which
being
redie
,
all
his
household
,
sauing
a
feawe
that
were
occupied
abowt
dressing
of
the
meate
,
came
togither
into
the
hall
where
the
table
was
couered
,
and
there
(
if
there
had
bin
no
sermon
,
)
a
Psalme
of
Dauids
was
sung
in
his
presence
standing
at
the
table
,
with
his
wife
standing
by
his
side
,
and
the
Table
was
blissed
with
ordinarie
grace
.
Which
kind
of
order
he
was
woont
too
keepe
euery
day
without
faile
,
not
only
at
home
&
in
time
of
peace
,
but
also
euen
in
the
Camp.
Wherof
not
only
innumerable
Frenchmen
,
but
also
a
greate
nomber
of
Almaine
Knightes
,
Capteines
,
and
officers
,
which
were
oftentimes
bidden
too
his
table
,
can
bee
witnesses
.
As
sone
as
the
table
was
taken
away
,
byandby
the
Admiral
rose
vp
,
and
standing
on
his
feete
with
his
wife
likewise
by
him
,
and
the
rest
of
the
companie
that
sate
with
him
at
his
table
,
did
either
himself
pronounce
the
praier
of
thanksgiuing
vnto
God
,
or
cawse
it
too
bee
doone
by
the
preacher
.
And
at
Supper
times
,
not
only
the
same
thing
was
doone
bothe
in
prayer
&
in
singing
of
the
Psalmes
:
but
also
forasmuch
as
he
sawe
it
woold
be
harder
for
him
too
get
all
his
folk
togither
too
nightprayer
at
bedtime
,
bicause
that
that
time
was
vncerteine
by
reason
of
sundrie
businesses
which
they
had
too
doo
:
he
commaunded
them
too
be
all
with
him
immediatly
after
supper
,
and
caused
the
nightprayers
to
bee
sayd
as
soone
as
the
Psalme
was
ended
.
Through
the
which
example
,
it
cannot
bee
sayde
howe
manie
of
the
French
Nobilitie
tooke
vp
the
same
order
in
theyr
howses
:
the
rather
for
that
the
Admirall
warned
them
,
that
if
the
maister
of
a
howse
intended
to
mainteine
godlinesse
aright
,
it
was
not
ynowgh
for
him
too
frequent
sermons
,
and
too
leade
a
godly
and
holie
life
to
himself
:
vnlesse
he
did
also
bring
his
household
and
acquaintance
too
the
same
trade
of
life
by
his
example
.
Certein
it
is
that
his
godly
and
holye
conuersation
was
had
in
so
greate
admiration
euen
among
them
that
were
of
the
Catholik
side
:
that
if
it
had
not
bin
for
feare
of
the
horrible
persecution
&
butcherie
that
followed
afterward
:
the
greatest
part
of
Fraunce
had
turned
too
the
same
religion
and
reformation
of
manners
.
When
the
time
of
the
Lords
supper
was
at
hand
,
he
vsed
too
call
his
houshold
seruauntes
and
reteiners
abowt
him
,
and
too
tell
them
that
he
was
too
yeeld
account
vntoo
God
,
not
only
of
his
owne
life
,
but
also
of
their
ordinarie
dealings
.
If
any
iarre
were
falne
among
them
,
he
appeazed
it
by
setting
them
at
one
.
If
any
man
seemed
not
altoogether
so
foreward
in
vnderstanding
and
reuerencing
that
greate
misterie
as
he
owght
too
bee
:
him
did
he
cause
to
be
instructed
more
diligently
in
religion
.
If
any
seemed
ouer
stubborne
,
he
wold
tell
them
openly
that
he
had
leuer
to
dwel
at
home
alone
,
than
to
kepe
a
rowt
of
leud
lozels
.
Agein
,
he
thought
the
institution
of
schooles
,
and
the
well
training
vp
of
yong
children
,
to
be
the
singular
benefite
of
God
.
This
he
termed
the
seedleape
of
the
Churche
,
and
the
Nurcerie
of
godlinesse
.
Affirming
that
the
want
of
learning
had
cast
a
mist
,
not
only
vppon
the
Common
weale
,
but
also
vppon
Religion
:
and
that
the
tyranny
of
the
bishop
of
Rome
had
bin
bred
and
borne
in
that
dungeon
,
who
had
reigned
ouer
the
blind
and
ignorant
wretches
,
as
father
Dis
is
reported
among
the
Poetes
too
haue
reigned
ouer
night
and
darknesse
.
And
therfore
he
founded
a
schoole
in
a
pleasant
&
wholesome
place
hard
by
the
Shattilion
howse
,
and
when
he
had
finished
the
building
of
it
,
at
his
great
cost
he
mainteined
many
children
and
yoong
men
there
,
and
manie
lerned
Hebricians
,
Grecians
,
and
Latinistes
too
reade
those
languages
too
them
.
Moreouer
,
of
his
singular
stayednesse
this
was
one
proof
:
that
wheras
he
was
indowed
with
greate
offices
of
honour
,
and
could
haue
sowght
his
owne
commoditie
,
and
gleaned
riches
too
himself
after
the
example
of
other
Courtyers
:
yit
did
he
not
purchace
one
Acre
of
grownd
,
nor
increace
his
fathers
inheritance
wyth
one
cotage
.
And
although
he
played
the
good
husband
in
vsing
and
spending
of
his
owne
goodes
:
yit
notwithstanding
when
any
Princes
,
noblemen
,
gentlemen
,
or
men
of
any
degree
came
vntoo
him
,
(
as
they
came
vntoo
him
from
all
partes
of
Fraunce
abowt
the
publik
affaires
of
the
Realme
:
)
loke
whatsoeuer
monny
he
had
gotten
before
by
his
sparing
,
he
spent
it
liberally
vppon
them
in
hospitalitie
.
By
meanes
wherof
it
is
certein
,
that
he
left
his
heires
or
successors
charged
with
the
dette
,
of
not
so
little
as
fortie
thowsand
powndes
,
besides
the
yeerly
loan
of
six
thowsand
powndes
,
which
he
payd
too
his
creditors
for
interest
.
And
I
must
not
heere
let
passe
in
silence
,
the
incredible
vnitie
of
minde
,
loue
,
and
concord
,
that
was
betwene
the
three
brethren
Shattilions
,
which
was
so
greate
,
that
there
seemed
too
bee
but
one
mynd
made
of
all
the
three
.
The
Admirall
liued
three
and
fiftie
yeeres
,
six
monethes
,
and
eight
dayes
.
He
was
of
stature
meetly
tall
,
of
colour
ruddie
,
of
all
his
members
well
proportioned
and
agreeable
,
of
countenance
stable
and
cheerfull
,
of
voyce
gentle
and
sweete
,
howbeeit
of
speeche
sommewhat
slowe
and
soft
:
of
helth
meetly
good
,
of
gesture
and
gate
comly
,
specially
when
he
was
at
home
in
his
gowne
,
walking
with
his
wife
or
his
freendes
:
a
small
drinker
of
wine
euen
by
nature
,
measurable
in
meate
and
sleepe
,
for
comonly
he
rested
not
aboue
seuen
howres
.
And
since
the
tyme
of
the
last
pacification
,
he
suffered
no
day
to
passe
,
wherin
he
entered
not
intoo
his
daybooke
with
his
owne
hand
,
before
he
laid
him
downe
too
sleepe
,
the
things
that
seemed
woorth
the
noting
in
the
former
ciuill
warres
.
Which
being
fownd
after
his
death
,
and
browght
too
the
kings
counsell
,
purchaced
him
great
commendacion
for
his
quiet
and
vncombered
mind
,
euen
among
such
as
hated
him
moste
.
Besides
this
,
when
the
warre
was
once
ended
,
and
he
had
withdrawen
himself
too
Rochell
,
as
is
sayd
afore
:
he
let
no
day
passe
without
reading
one
of
Caluins
Sermons
vppon
the
storie
of
Iob
bothe
morning
and
euening
:
which
storie
he
termed
oftentimes
the
comfort
of
his
sowle
,
and
his
necessarie
medicine
at
all
assayes
in
all
his
aduersities
.
By
his
first
wife
he
had
fiue
children
,
of
whom
he
left
aliue
,
his
eldest
daughter
Loys
maryed
(
as
is
sayd
heertoofore
)
vntoo
Mounsyre
Telignie
,
who
was
murthered
in
the
same
furiows
slawghter
,
the
selfsame
night
that
his
father
in
lawe
was
:
and
also
Frauncis
Odette
and
Charles
,
of
whom
the
twoo
eldest
were
conueyed
speedily
from
the
butcherly
slawghter
,
and
the
third
which
was
but
seuen
yeere
old
and
eyght
moonethes
,
whom
his
father
loued
moste
intierly
for
his
pleasant
conceytednesse
,
being
taken
by
the
aduersaries
,
was
tawght
too
beare
Christes
crosse
euen
from
the
pryme
of
his
chyldhod
.
The
Admirall
left
his
later
wife
with
childe
of
a
dawghter
,
wherof
shee
was
deliuered
a
fower
moonethes
after
,
and
then
returning
home
intoo
the
borders
of
Sauoy
,
was
committed
too
warde
within
feawe
moonethes
after
,
by
the
commaundment
of
Philibert
the
Prince
of
that
Countrie
