GOD
hath
euermore

and
euen
vntill
this
present
,
by
his
speciall
fauour
so
assisted
the
Kings
affaires
,
that
no
man
need

but
that
the
eye
of
his
diuine
Prouidence
hath
alwaies
been
open
for
the
protection
and
safegard
of
this
Monarchie
,
against
the
bould
and
treacherous
attempts
of
those
which
haue
gone

And

faithfull

euen
so
such

are
no

employ
themselues
worthily

The
Duke
of
Guise
amongst
others
(
a
true
Imitator
of
the
generosity
of
his
Ancestors
;
who
,
vnder
the
fortune
of
our
Kings
,
haue
holpen
to
augment
their
Triumphs
)
was
so
impatient
to
see
the
vnseasonablenesse
of
the
weather
and
contrarie
winds
to
hinder
him
from
doing
some
notable
exploit
,
that
in
the
end
he
took
the
very
first
occasion
and
oportunity
,
as
follows
.
You
must
then
knowe
,
that
the
24
of
October
his
Maiesties
Nauy
arriued
within
sight
of
land
,
where
they
were
constrained
to
come
to
an
anchor
at
the
entry
of
Hole
Bretton
,
neer
to
Balenes
;
whither
Monsieur
the
Earl
of
Rochefoucault
came
with
1500
foot
and
200
Gentlemen
,
all
of
them
appointed
to
land
after
the
Fight
.
The
Gallies
also
set
fail
,
and
came
to
the
rendevous
,
remaining
all
day
in
view
of
the
enemies
Armie
;
whil'st
the
Earl
of
Ioygnie
,
Generall
of
the
Gallies
,
went
to
the
Duke
of
Guise
to
receiue
such
order
from
him
as
he
should
please
to
giue
the
rest
of
this
day
was
imployed
by
the
Duke
of
Guise
about
ordering
of
the
fight
;
so
as
the
fleet
,
beeing
not
able
to
make
any
way
but
with
the
tide
,
by
reason
of
the
great
calm
,
all
it
could
do
was
onely
to
come
to
an
anchor
at
that
place
whither
the
Gallies
were
aduanced
,
about
two
houres
after
midnight
.
Whereupon
it
was
resolued
to
assemble
all
the
Captains
2
or
3
houres
before
day
,
which
was
done
the
26.
And
after
,
hauing
diuided
the
Fleet
into
three
squadrons
,
namely
,
the
Admirals
,
Viceadmirals
and
Rereadmirals
,
and
giuen
order
to
the
captains
to
com
vp
in
files
,
that
they
might
haue
their
broad
sides
free
to
play
with
their
great
ordinance
,
without
any
danger
to
themselues
,
the
Generall
of
the
Gallies
was
appointed
to
giue
the
onset
vpon
the
enemie
,
who
lay
at
anchor
in
sight
of
them
in
the
open
rode
before
the
I
le
of
Re
belowe
S.
Martins
;
who
seeing
the
Gallies
approach
,
and
the
Kings
fleet
in
sight
,
set
sail
,
the
winde
little
seruing
the
Kings
Nauy
,
and
the
tide
almost
spent
;
so
as
all
they
could
do
,
was
to
come
within
a
league
of
their
enemies
:
who
seeing
the
Gallies
,
began
to
shoot
;
and
the
Gallies
at
them
again
.
Then
the
Duke
of
Guise
resolued
to
go
himself
to
take
a
view
of
the
enemy
,
and
to
this
end
sent
to
the
Generall
for
a
Gallie
:
and
in
the
mean
time
hee
and
the
Earl
of
Rochefoucault
put
themselues
with
5
or
six
other
Gentlemen
into
a
barge
;
and
meeting
with
the
Gallie
,
hee
went
aboard
her
,
and
by
and
by
met
with
the
Generall
whom
he
had
orderd
before
not
to
engage
himself
too
far
,
but
to
stay
for
him
.
After
this
,
he
went
aboard
the
Admirall
,
and
resolued
to
approach
the
enemy
,
to
discouer
the
burden
of
their
ships
,
and
the
bore
of
their
Ordinance
;
which
he
so
happily
performed
,
that
thereupon
the
fight
began
,
and
by
little
and
little
so
increased
,
that
hee
constrained
them
being
but
newly
anchored
,
to
set
saile
againe
:
and
approaching
them
with
his
musket
shot
,
putting
his
Gallies
in
front
,
and
seuering
them
an
hundred
or
sixscore
pases
asunder
,
all
the
Cannons
in
their
prowes
were
discharged
,
which
caused
many
pieces
of
wood
to
swimme
towards
them
,
which
their
artillery
had
torne
from
their
sides
;
so
as
he
iudged
it
then
a
fit
time
to
giue
them
battel
,
and
commanded
Mons
.
de
S.
Luc
.
Viceadmiral
,
to
bring
forward
the
fleet
,
and
to
pack
on
all
sailes
,
which
was
done
with
all
diligence
;
so
as
the
Captains
,
striuing
who
should
get
one
before
another
to
set
vpon
the
enemie
,
brake
their
order
when
they
were
but
within
half
a
league
of
them
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
Duke
of
Guise
put
himself
aboard
the
Admirall
,
and
staied
the
forwardest
of
them
,
being
within
shot
of
the
enemy
,
and
already
at
blowes
.
The
Rochellers
fleeting
close
aboard
the
Ilands
,
and
by
little
&
little
(
all
men
iudging
them
to
flie
)
got
so
much
into
the
winde
,
as
there
was
now
no
striuing
for
it
.
They
diuided
their
Nauy
into
3
bodies
,
as
the
Kings
fleet
was
;
and
approaching
softly
vnto
it
,
shewd
they
had
a
good
will
to
fight
.
The
Cannons
began
then
to
play
within
reach
one
of
another
,
about
3
a
clock
after
noon
:
and
within
a
while
after
,
the
hindermost
of
ours
making
haste
,
were
within
musket
shot
of
them
.
The
enemie
seeing
that
our
great
&
heauie
vessels
plied
not
to
windeward
so
well
as
our
little
ones
,
they
resolued
to
assail
our
Vantguard
;
which
they
so
wel
performed
,
that
by
&
by
they
were
at
it
pel
mel
,
where
Mons
.
de
S.
Luc
.
who
commanded
the
same
Vant-gard
,
and
was
the
first
set
vpon
,
behaued
himself
very
nobly
,
sustaining
himself
alone
for
a
small
while
the
brunt
of
the
enemy
.
The
Gallion
of
Malta
,
to
which
the
Generall
had
sent
two
Gallies
to
hale
her
along
,
approached
;
and
the
other
which
were
to
leward
,
got
into
the
wind
to
shoot
at
the
enemie
in
the
flank
.
The
Admirall
by
often
boarding
endeauored
by
all
possible
means
to
get
to
windward
.
In
the
end
,
seeing
all
the
fleet
set
on
the
Vantgard
,
and
to
put
her
in
great
danger
,
in
stead
of
tacking
once
more
about
,
turned
short
vpon
the
enemie
,
and
alone
opposed
himself
against
them
all
.
In
this
so
dangerous
an
exigent
,
all
the
officers
and
pilots
of
the
shippe
were
on
their
knees
before
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
to
shew
him
into
what
perill
he
did
thrust
himself
,
not
being
any
waies
able
to
bee
assisted
by
any
of
his
other
ships
,
which
were
all
to
lewards
of
him
:
but
hee
generously
surmounting
all
things
which
might
alter
his
purpose
,
resolued
to
go
on
and
approach
the
enemie
,
and
saue
his
Vantagard
which
else
would
be
lost
:
which
caused
them
all
to
turn
toward
him
,
and
to
assail
him
in
very
good
order
,
conducting
before
them
vnder
fauour
of
their
cannon
and
musket
shot
,
2
ships
full
of
fire-works
chained
together
:
and
after
their
first
charge
crying
,
Aboard
,
aboard
,
they
tied
with
their
grapples
the
two
fire
ships
to
the
waste
of
our
Admirall
,
which
suddenly
took
fire
both
within
&
on
their
sailes
;
so
as
the
flame
got
vp
as
high
as
the
Mast
head
.
This
was
a
stratagem
which
the
Rochellers
had
made
great
boast
of
before
their
setting
out
to
sea
,
as
if
it
had
been
as
easie
a
matter
to
burn
our
Admirall
,
as
to
make
it
their
proiect
.
In
the
mean
time
their
musketshot
and
artillery
plaied
vncessantly
;
and
then
was
le
Sieur
de
Vinceguerre
slain
with
a
musket
shot
,
being
vpon
the
Nettings
,
neer
vnto
Mons
.
de
Guise
,
who
had
commanded
him
to
attend
the
quenching
of
the
fire
,
as
himself
to
prouide
for
the
rest
.
This
combate
lasted
two
houres
during
the
day
light
;
and
night
drawing
on
,
it
continued
yet
an
houre
more
,
and
it
was
so
obstinately
maintained
,
that
many
of
the
Rochelers
were
slain
at
the
push
of
the
pike
Mons
.
de
Tauanes
commanded
in
the
forecastle
:
The
Count
de
Curse
,
in
the
poop
;
and
Mons
.
de
Queruenaux
,
the
Voluntaries
,
who
were
diuided
between
them
.
The
Duke
of
Guise
his
guard
,
and
some
Gentlemen
of
the
Earl
de
la
Rochefoucaults
,
fought
at
the
Orolope
of
the
main
mast
.
The
Duke
of
Guise
,
accompanied
alwaies
with
the
Earl
of
Rochefoucault
,
went
continually
vp
and
down
to
prouide
for
what
was
necessary
.
The
Seiur
de
la
Verdier
,
lieutenant
of
the
Duke
of
Guise
his
company
of
horse
,
who
was
imployed
to
impart
his
wil
on
all
sides
,
was
hurt
in
the
head
with
a
musket
shot
:
Some
other
Gentlemen
and
officers
slain
;
amongst
others
,
the
master
of
the
ship
,
who
assisted
the
Lord
of
Vassale
and
the
Seriant
Maior
who
did
vse
wonderfull
endeauours
about
quenching
of
the
fire
,
already
growne
great
,
and
almost
past
all
hope
of
slaking
:
in
the
end
it
was
notwithstanding
put
out
by
exceeding
great
diligence
,
in
lesse
than
an
houre
.
Our
happinesse
was
in
this
,
that
the
enemie
giuing
ouer
the
fight
,
abandoned
our
Admiral
,
and
gaue
vs
leasure
to
intend
nothing
but
the
quenching
of
the
fire
;
which
we
should
very
hardly
haue
done
,
if
we
had
been
forced
to
fight
and
quench
it
both
at
once
.
The
ioy
was
incredible
which
the
rest
of
our
army
had
,
which
could
helpe
vs
no
longer
by
reason
of
the
winde
and
Tide
which
were
both
contrarie
,
when
they
sawe
the
Admyrall
rout
the
Enemie
hauing
beene
formerlie
afrayde
lest
hee
had
been
vtterlie
burnt
amongst
them
;
which
so
encouraged
the
Kings
fleet
,
as
they
endeuoured
to
reunite
them selues
at
the
same
instant
crying
on
all
sides
Victorie
,
Victorie
,
vntill
three
howers
within
night
;
when
it
waxed
so
darke
on
a
suddaine
that
our
ships
came
came
foule
one
of
another
:
so
as
the
enemie
making
vse
of
the
occasion
withdrew
themselues
.
And
then
our
Admirall
who
beganne
to
bee
agrovend
,
being
but
at
3.
fathome
water
,
in
following
the
maine
,
was
constrained
to
staie
:
then
hee
hung
out
his
light
and
was
alone
a
verie
long
while
hauing
aduanced
himselfe
in
the
heate
of
the
fight
a
league
from
the
place
where
he
was
,
at
the
first
onsett
.
The
first
vessels
which
came
vp
vnto
him
,
after
his
long
staie
for
them
were
the
Virgin
,
wherein
was
the
Sieur
de
Manty
Rereadmirall
,
The
Knight
of
Cuges
,
who
was
slaine
aboord
the
Vize-admirall
of
the
East
,
and
the
Sieur
de
l'Ist
,
Lieutenant
vnto
Mons
.
de
Valencè
.
The
Gallion
of
Malta
was
assaulted
by
3.
Vessels
,
and
rescued
by
Cuges
,
who
sunk

ship
,
which
was
of
400.
tunnes
,
wherein
were
a
great
many
of
Gentlemen
and
Voluntaries
of
Rochel
,
which
were
either
slaine
or
drowned
,
except
the
Captaine
and
a
Counsellor
of
Rochel
,
which
were
taken
prisoners
.
There
are
found
ten
of
the
Rochelers
ships
sunk
,
more
then
2000.
men
slain
,
or
drowned
,
and
of
ours
some
400.
The
Rochelers
Fleet
fled
towards
30.
Flemish
Vessels
,
which
had
not
aduanced
themselues
to
fight
,
to
th'end
their
losse
might
not
be
knowne
by
day
.
They
haue
taken
from
them
all
their
men
they
can
spare
to
furnish
their
ships
againe
:
If
we
had
had
but
one
houre
of
day
more
,
there
had
fewe
of
them
escaped
.
Their
Army
could
not
be
recollected
,
but
on
the
morrow
:
Monsieur
de
S.
Luc
rallied
himselfe
also
for
his
part
at
the
same
instant
with
30.
Saile
neere
vnto
Mons
.
de
Guise
,
and
the
Generall
of
the
Gallies
likewise
;
who
afterwards
,
during
the
calme
,
sunke
the
S.
Lewis
which
was
one
of
Mons
.
de
Neners
his
ships
,
which
those
of
Rochel
had
taken
the
last
yeere
.
The
morrow
after
going
to
discouer
them
,
we
saw
20.
of
their
ships
which
were
run
on
ground
and
battered
with
our
Cannon
.
So
that
of
70.
ships
which
the
Rochelers
had
on
the
day
of
battell
,
there
appeared
no
more
but
32.
which
we
hope
to
spoil
with
our
Cannon
,
because
we
cannot
come
at
them
without
running
on
ground
.
They
haue
shewed
great
boldnes
,
and
haue
indeed
made
valiant
resistance
,
like
men
desiring
to
dye
or
ouercome
.
All
the
squadrons
of
both
the
Armies
were
pell
mell
at
it
,
the
space
of
two
houres
during
day-light
:
th'obscurity
of
the
night
saued
those
which
remain'd
of
the
Rochelers
side
;
because
crying
Holy
Virgine
,
and
God
saue
the
King
,
as
we
did
,
(
which
was
the
word
of
the
Kings
Fleete
)
and
because
we
could
no
longer
discern
our
marks
,
our
Vessels
fell
fowle
one
of
another
.
This
is
the
truth
of
what
passed
in
this
Sea-fight
,
in
which
there
was
no
Commander
or
Captaine
,
which
shewed
not
proofe
inough
of
his
valour
;
the
fight
was
so
furious
,
as
we
may
truly
say
there
was
discharged
on
th'one
side
and
the
other
more
then
15000.
Cannon
shot
.
Nor
is
it
to
be
forgotten
,
that
on
the
morrow
after
,
Mons
.
de
Guise
hauing
rallied
his
forces
,
sent
to
summon
those
which
commanded
in
the
Diue
,
to
render
themselues
,
which
is
a
Fort
made
in
an
Iland
very
neere
Aiguillon
,
which
they
had
lately
surprised
,
which
place
yeelded
at
his
discretion
.
Finally
,
as
Mons
.
de
Guise
was
about
to
pursue
his
victorie
,
and
land
his
Armie
into
those
Ilands
which
the
Rochellers
held
,
he
receiued
letters

fut
employé
par
Monsieur

à
trauailler
aux
ordres
que
l'armée
auroit
à

.
De
sorte
que
l'armée
ne
pouuant
faire
chemin
que
par
la
marée
,
à
cause
du
grand
calme
,
ce
qu'elle
peust
faire
fust
d'aller
mouiller
où
les
galeres
s'éstoient
aduancèes
,
enuiron
deux
heures
de
nuict
.
Sur
quoy
il
fut
resolu
d'assembler
tous

Capitaines
pour

,
&
auoir
les
cos●és
des
nauires
pour
faire
iouër
●artillerie
sans
les
endommager
,
Monsieur
le
General
des
galleres
fust
ordonné
pour
aller
taster
les
ennemis
,
qui
parurent
à
l'ancre
à
la
rade
de
l'Isle
de
Ré
,
au
dessouz
de
sainct
Martin
,
lesquels
voyans
auancer
les
Galeres
,
&
l'armée
du
Roy
paroistre
,
se
mirent
souz
les
voiles
,
le
vent
ne
seruant
gueres
à
l'armée
du
Roy
,
&
la
marée
se
retirant
.
Tout
ce
qu'on
peust
faire
,
ce
fut
d'approcher
d'vne
lieuë
des
ennemis
,
qui
voyans
les
Galeres
,
commencerent
de
leur
tirer
des
canonades
&
les
galeres
à
eùx
.
Monsieur
de
Guise
prit
lors
resolution
d'aller
luy
mesme
recognoistre
l'armée
ennemie
,
&
à
cest
effect
manda
à
Monsieur
le
General
de
luy
enuoyer
vne
Galere
,
cependant
il
se
mit
dedans
vne
felouque
auec
Monsieur
le
Conte
de
la
Rochefoucaut
,
&
quatre
ou
cinq
Gentils-hommes
,
&
ayant
rencontré
la
Galere
,
il
monta
dessus
,
&
trouua
Monsieur
le
General
incontinent
apres
,
à
qui
il
auoit
donné
ordre
de
ne
s'engager
point
,
&
de
l'attendre
.
Apres
cela
il
monta
sur
la
Reale
,
&
se
resolut
d'approcher
les
ennemis
pour
distinguer
la
portée
de
leurs
vaisseaux
&
le
calibre
de
leurs
pieces
.
Ce
qui
se
fit
si
à
propos
que
l'attaquese
commenca
peu
à
peu
,
&
en
fin
s'eschauffa
si
fort
que
les
ayans
trouuez
de
nouueau
mouillés
,
il
les
contraignit
de
se
remettre
à
la
voile
,
s'approchant
aux
mousquetades
,
&
faisans
mettre
les
Galeres
de
front
,
les
écartans
l'une
de
l'autre
de
cent
ou
six
vingts
pas
.
Tous
les
Canons
de
Coursier
commencerent
à
joüer
,
en
facon
que
l'on
voyoit
force
bois
que
la
marée
emmenoit
des
éclats
que
le
Canon
y
faisoit
;
tellement
qu'il
iugea
que
l'occasion
estoit
belle
de
les
combattre
;
Il
manda
a
Monsieur
de
S.
Luc
,
Vice-admiral
,
de
faire
aduancer
l'armée
,
&
de
faire
toute
force
de
voiles
.
Ce
qui
fut
fait
auec
tant
de
vigueur
,
que
les
Capitaines
à
l'enuy
l'vn
de
l'autres
aduan
coient
le
plus
qu'ils
pouuoient
,
quittans
leur
ordre
pour
le
desir
qu'ils
auoient
de
joindre
l'ennemy
qui
n'estoit
qu'à
vne
petite
demy
lieuë
d'eux
.
Sur
ces
entrefaites
Monsieur
de
Guise
alla
en
toute
diligence
reprendre
sa
place
sur
l'Admiral
,
&
arresta
les
Nauires
les
plus
aduancées
,
qui
estoient
déja
aux
Canonades
.
Les
ennemis
rendirent
le
bord
vers
les
bas
fonds
au
long
des
Isles
,
&
insensiblement
,
tout
le
monde
croyant
qu'ils
fuyoient
,
gaignerent
le
vent
si
auant
,
que
l'on
iugea
qu'on
ne
le
leur
pouuoit
plus
disputer
.
Ils
separerent
leur
armée
en
trois
Corps
,
comme
celle
du
Roy
,
&
s'approchans
peu
à
peu
,
monstrerent
qu'ils
vouloient
combattre
.
Les
Canons
commencerent
donc
dés
lors
de
venir
à
portée
.
Cela
fut
sur
les
trois
heures
a
pres
midy
,
&
les
plus
ésloignez
des
nostres
faisans
force
de
voiles
,
nous
fusmes
incontinent
aux
mousquetades
.
Les
ennemis
voyans
que
nos
plus
grands
&
plus
pesans
Nauires
ne
gaignoient
si
bien
au
vent
que
les
petits
,
ils
resolurent
de
venir
à
bord
à
nostre
Auant-garde
,
c●
qu'ils
executerent
si
bien
,
qu'incontinent
ils
furent
aux
mains
,
où
Monsieur
de
S.
Luc
,
qui
commandoit
ladite
Auant-garde
,
&
qui
fut
attaqué
le
premier
,
fit
tres-genereusement
,
ayant
soustenu
le
choc
de
tous
les
ennemis
.
Le
Gallion
de
Malte
,
à
qui
Monsieur
le
General
auoit
enuoyé
deux
Galleres
pour
le
remorquer
,
s'aduanca
,
&
les
autres
qui
estoient
sous-vent
,
toutes
les
Galleres
r'assemblees
allerent
aussi
regaigner
le
vent
,
pour
tirer
à
l'ennemy
par
les
flancs
.
L'Admiral
par
des
bordées
essayoit
le
plus
qu'il
luy
estoit
possible
de
monter
au
vent
.
En
sin
voyant
toute
l'armée
fondre
sur
l'auantgarde
,
&
la
voyant
en
tres
grand
danger
,
au
lieu
de
faire
vn
autre
bord
du
costé
de
la
bataill
,
il
reuira
tout
court
,
&
s'alla
opposer
seul
à
l'armée
ennemie
.
Ce
fut
lors
&
en
vne
occasion
si
hazardeuse
,
où
tous
les
officiers
&
pilotes
du
vaisseau
se
jetterent
aux
pieds
de
Monsieur
de
Guise
pour
luy
remonstrer
le
peril
oú
il
s'alloit
engager
,
ne
pouuant
ester
assisté
ny
secouru
d'aucun
de
ses
vaisseaux
,
estants
au
dessous
du
vent
:
mais
Iuy
surmontant
genereusement
tout
ce
qui
pouuoit
trauerser
son
dessein
,
il
se
resolut
de
passer
outre
,
&
d'approcher
les
ennemis
pour
sauuer
son
Auant-garde
,
qui
autrement
couroit
fortune
.
Ce
qui
fut
cause
qu'ils
tournerent
tous
vers
luy
,
&
vindrent
l'inuestir
auec
vn
grand
ordre
,
conduisans
deuant
eux
à
la
faueur
du
Cannon
&
des
monsquetades
,
deux
Nauires
d'artifice
,
&
pleins
de
feu
,
attachées
auec
des
chaisnes
,
&
apres
auoir
fait
toute
leur
salue
,
criant
à
bord
,
à
bord
,
ils
attacherent
auec
des
grappins
les
deux
Nauires
de
feu
aux
hauts
bancs
du
Mast
de
nostre
Admiral
,
qui
prirent
feu
si
soudain
par
le
dedans
&
par
leurs
voiles
,
que
la
flamme
monta
tout
à
coup
aussi
haut
que
les
Gábies
.
C'est
vne
rodomontade
dont
les
Rochelois
s'estoient
vantez
auant
que
de
partir
,
comme
s'il
eust
esté
aussi
facile
de
brusler
nostre
Admiral
comme
ils
auoient
legerement
promis
.
Cependant
leur
mousquetairie
&
leur
artillerie
loüoit
incessamment
,
&
ce
fut
lors
que
le
Sieur
de
Vinceguerre
fut
tué
d'vne
mousquetade
estant
sur
le
Pont
de
corde
auprés
de
Monsieur
de
Guise
,
qui
luy
commandoit
de
remedier
au
feu
&
que
pour
luy
il
pouruoieroit
au
reste
.
Ce
Combat
dura
deux
heures
de
iour
,
&
la
nuict
commencant
il
ne
cessa
pas
de
continuer
encore
plus
d'vne
bonne
heure
;
&
fut
si
opiniastré
que
beaucoup
des
ennemis
furent
tués
par
les
nostres
à
coups
de
picques
.
Monsieur
de
Tauane
commandoit
au
Chasteau

Monsieur

Monsieur
le
Comte
de

,
alloit
incessamment
par
tout
pour
pouruoir
â
ce
qui
estoit
necessaire
.
Le
sieur
de
la
Vierdiere
Lieutenant
de
la

de

,
qui

&
quasi
sans

de

.
Il
fut
neantmoins
esteint
par
la
diligence
qu'on
y
apporta
en
moins
d'vne
heure
.
Le
bon
heur
fut
que
les
ennemis
quittans
la
partie
,
abandonnerent
l'Admiral
&
donnerent
loisir
à
ne
trauailler
plus
qu
à
esteindre

,
dont
il
eust

Il
est
encroyable

du

de

qui
ne
nous
pouuoit
plus
secourir
à

du

&
de
la
marée
,
laquelle
vit
que
l'Admiral
mettoit
les
ennemis
en
rout
&
les
menoit
battant
,
fuit
sur
la
crainte
qu'ils
auoint
que
l'ennemy
ne
l'eust
bruslé
tout
à

.
Ce
qui
donna
vn
tel
courage
á
toute

du

,
qu'elle

de

en

à

fut
contrainct
de

FIN

THE
REDVCING
OF
the
Town
of
Montpellier
to
the
obedience
of
the
King
:
Together
with
those
of
Nismes
,
Castres
,
Vzez
,
Puylaurent
,
and
all
Languedoc
:
With
the
Letter
of
the
King
to
the
Lord
Mayor
and
the
Sheriffes
of
the
Citie
of
PARIS
.
THe
antient
Histories
doe
eleuate
the
naturall
goodnesse
of
Alexander
the
Great
vnto
the
skies
,
who
neuer
suffered
his
scaffold
to
be
tainted
with
his
subiects
bloud
,
that
craued
his
fauour
:
the
thunder-boult
neuer
breakes
those
things
which
bend
at
the
lightning
of
his
fire
;
and
the
stout
harted
Lion
cannot
hurt
him
that
bends
before
him
.
But
all
the
examples
of
goodnesse
are
nothing
to
be
paralleld
with
the
royall
clemency
of
Lewis
the
Iust
,
who
after
so
many
vexations
,
so
much
paines
,
and
offences
that
haue
been
offered
by
the
disobedience
of
rebellious
subiects
,
hauing
iust
occasion
to
make
them
feele
the
tokens
of
his
indignation
,
who
went
about
to
destroy
themselues
with
a
little
patience
,
dispersing
themselues
from
one
another
hourly
:
neuerthelesse
,
to
make
the
effects
of
his
royall
bounty
apparant
,
and
to
giue
peace
and
rest
to
his
people
,
who
breathed
vnder
the
burthen
of
a
thousand
sorts
of
griefes
,
which
the
warres
produced
and
brought
vpon
them
;
he
is
at
the
last
resolued
to
pardon
those
,
who
acknowledging
their
faults
do
humbly
appeale
for
mercy
at
his
Maiesties
feet
.
Monsieur
,
the
Duke
de
Rohan
,
had
besought
Monsieur
le
Connestable
to
renue
the
treaty
which
had
bin
already
begun
in
August
last
past
,
and
to
work
a
vniuersall
peace
with
his
Maiesty
.
The
which
,
the
sayd
Lord
Constable
hath
vndertaken
,
with
so
much
more
courage
,
that
hee
hath
alwaies
shewed
himselfe
most
affectionate
to
the
quietnesse
of
the
kingdome
,
and
the
Kings
seruice
.
Hee
went
then
to
Montpellier
,
according
to
the
Kings
pleasure
,
where
were
presented
to
his
Maiestie
the
submissions
of
the
sayd
Duke
de
Rohan
,
together
with
the
affaires
concerning
the
Townes
in
the
lower
Languedoc
.
In
the
meane
time
notwithstanding
,
the
batteries
of
the
King
did
not
cease
to
discharge
as
furiusly
as
before
,
against
the
said
Towne
of
Montpellier
,
to
the
great
astonishment
of
the
Rochellers
.
The
eighteenth
of
October
last
at
night
,
the
Peace
was
resolued
on
in
the
Kings
Chamber
;
Monsieur
le
Connestable
,
Monsieur
the
Prince
of
Ioniuille
,
and
Monsieur
de
Puisieux
being
present
;
who
hath
made
it
apparant
by
these
affairs
,
that
he
is
a
worthy
heire
of
the
wisedome
and
knowledge
of
Monsieur
the
Chancelier
,
his
Father
.
Thursday
,
the
ninth
of
the
same
month
,
all
things
being
quiet
,
Monsieur
the
Duke
of
Espernon
,
by
the
Kings
commandement
entred
the
Towne
of
Montpellier
with
the
regiment
of
his
Guard
,
the
Companies
of
the
Suisses
,
and
the
Marshalls
of
the
Kings
house
,
to
take
possession
of
the
place
,
and
there
to
make
his
Maiesties
lodgings
,
who
the
next
day
after
the
20
of
October
entred
therein
in
arms
.
The
inhabitants
cast
themselues
at
the
feet
of
his
Maiesty
,
crauing
pardon
of
him
;
which
he
kindly
granted
.
He
resolued
that
the
new
fortifications
of
the
town
should
be
beaten
down
;
that
the
Churches
,
which
in
two
yeers
before
had
been
demolished
,
should
bee
new
built
at
the
charge
of
the
said
inhabitants
of
the
pretended
reformed
religion
.
After
that
the
reducing
of
Nismes
,
Castres
,
Vses
,
Milbaud
,
and
other
places
which
are
in
the
obedience
of
the
King
,
the
new
fortifications
shall
be
puld
down
,
and
the
Churches
reestablished
,
as
heerafter
shall
be
seen
by
the
Articles
brought
by
the
Sieur
Defiat
,
which
shall
be
published
with
the
declaration
of
the
King
.
At
the
instant
when
the
peace
was
concluded
,
Monsieur
le
prince
departed
to
go
to
accomplish
his
vow
at
our
Ladies
of
Lorette
in
Italy
,
with
the
Kings
leaue
,
promising
to
return
shortly
.
Monsieur
the
Archbishop
of
Lions
is
also
departed
in
poste
to
go
to
Rome
to
informe
his
Holinesse
of
the
peace
.
The
King
wil
that
the
Estates
of
the
country
of
Languedoc
in
the
Town
of
Beaueaire
,
which
shall
hold
but
three
weeks
:
and
the
whil'st
they
assemble
,
his
Maiesty
will
go
to
Marselles
.
By
the
reducing
of
Montpeiller
,
the
chief
of
lowe
Languedoc
,
France
begins
,
to
take
ease
,
vpon
the
assurance
which
she
is
about
presently
to
enioy
,
through
the
obedience
that
at
length
is
granted
to
his
Maiesty
by
the
greatest
part
of
his
rebellious
subiects
.
And
as
the
Town
of
Montpeiller
was
the
first
occasion
of
all
the
rebellion
of
Languedoc
,
the
rule
of
all
the
other
places
which
were
risen
against
the
seruice
and
authority
of
the
King
,
and
that
which
gaue
law
to
the
rest
:
so
this
being
resolued
to
obedience
,
and
hauing
had
recourse
to
his
Maiesties
mercie
,
to
keep
them
defended
from
all
the
wicked
storms
wherewith
shee
saw
herself
threatned
for
the
chastisement
of
her
rebellion
;
the
other
Towns
,
as
Nismes
,
Vsez
,
Castres
,
&
other
places
,
haue
followed
and
imitated
her
in
the
like
duty
.
Euen
so
,
thanks
be
to
God
,
all
these
places
are
reduced
to
the
King
,
without
murder
or
effusion
of
bloud
:
so
great
is
his
goodnes
and
mercy
towards
them
that
had
insolently
offended
him
;
Mercy
and
clemency
,
that
shall
be
eternally
celebrated
,
as
long
as
the
memory
of
Lewis
the
Iust
shall
flourish
in
the
durance
of
ages
,
hee
beeing
admired
in
this
,
aboue
the
examples
which
the
history
produceth
of
the
like
graces
which
the
Kings
his
Predecessors
haue
vsed
,
vpon
the
repentance
of
their
subiects
who
haue
implored
their
clemency
after
a
long
continuation
of
errors
;
thereby
shewing
himselfe
the
true
Father
of
his
people
,
who
desiring
to
chastise
his
subiects
,
not
to
destroy
them
,
but
to
correct
them
,
receiueth
them
with
pardon
when
they
demand
it
,
&
acknowledge
their
faults
;
and
takes
from
them
the
means
to
do
mischief
,
by
the
new
fortifications
which
his
Maiesty
vnderstands
to
be
beaten
down
and
defaced
.
This
newes
of
the
peace
was
not
so
soon
publisht
through
France
,
as
the
best
towns
of
the
Kingdom
took
occasion
to
beginne
their
ioy
,
by
their
thanksgiuing
to
God
,
and
publike
merriments
,
as
is
seen
in
Thoulouse
,
Lions
,
and
other
Towns
,
reseruing
their
greatest
solemnities
,
vntill
that
the
sayd
Peace
shall
be
generally
published
by
Parliaments
,
and
through
all
the
Iurisdictions
and
Seneschalships
of
France
.
The
Kings
returne
is
shortly
hoped
for
:
the
Queens
,
who
are
at
Lyons
,
would
go
no
farther
after
the
new
receit
of
this
Peace
,
they
will
tarry
there
attending
the
arriuall
of
his
Maiesty
and
of
all
the
Court
,
to
goe
together
to
Paris
.
In
the
meane
time
we
shall
see
hereafter
all
Troupes
dismissed
,
except
those
which
his
Maiesty
reserueth
,
to
serue
him
in
places
and
quarters
where
he
shal
iudge
necessary
;
the
Field
shall
be
assured
and
the
waies
free
,
liberty
all
ouer
,
and
the
King
serued
and
honoured
of
all
his
subiects
,
as
well
of
the
one
Religion
as
the
other
,
vnder
the
banner
of
peace
:
which
God
grant
vs
,
if
it
please
him
,
and
make
his
Maiesties
reigne
prosperous
.
The
King's
Letter
.
MOST
Dear
and
Welbeloued
,
you
haue
seen
by
the
Declarations
which
We
haue
published
,
the
sorrow
which
we
had
to
see
any
of
our
Subiects
run
to
their
ruins
;
the
desire
which
We
should
haue
,
that
they
,
being
rid
of
their
false
opinions
,
should
acknowledge
that
which
they
owe
and
carry
with
a
true
respect
due
vnto
their
King
,
they
should
haue
recourse
to
our
goodnes
,
to
feel
the
effects
of
our
clemency
.
After
many
victories
whereby
God
hath
stinted
our
armies
,
that
which
we
haue
most
of
all
to
remember
,
hath
had
place
;
and
the
Deputies
of
our
Subiects
,
making
profession
of
the
pretended
reformed
religion
,
who
were
raised
,
are
prostrate
at
our
feet
,
haue
craued
the
pardon
,
whereof
they
had
need
to
blot
out
their
offense
;
which
we
haue
agreed
,
together
with
our
letters
of
note
to
be
sought
for
for
the
time
to
come
,
and
to
serue
for
a
rule
as
well
for
them
as
for
others
of
their
profession
in
their
course
of
life
.
The
Sieur
Defiat
,
one
of
the
counsellers
in
our
councels
of
State
,
chief
Commander
of
our
great
horse
,
will
giue
you
to
vnderstand
many
particulars
which
haue
past
in
these
quarters
,
where
you
may
marke
what
our
inclination
was
,
and
the
care
which
wee
haue
had
to
begin
by
the
establishment
of
the
liberty
and
safety
in
the
Townes
where
they
are
in
a
greater
number
,
therein
to
serue
God
according
to
his
Commandement
,
and
there
to
let
their
Churchmen
enioy
their
goods
,
and
the
other
their
faculties
;
Together
with
the
Order
by
vs
set
downe
,
to
build
vp
their
demolished
Churches
.
He
will
also
tell
you
that
wee
are
about
entring
into
Montpellier
,
wherin
our
guards
are
already
established
.
This
action
is
so
to
be
considered
,
and
profitable
that
we
must
be
〈◇〉
to
render
thankes
to
the
Almighty
,
since
〈◇〉
continually
on
this
side
it
hath
been
our
chiefest
care
.
Wee
desire
that
you
would
follow
it
,
assisting
in
the
accustomed
forme
at
Te
Deum
,
which
wee
haue
commanded
to
be
sung
in
the
Cathedrall
Church
of
our
good
Citie
of
Paris
;
wherein
,
and
in
other
foresayd
things
we
send
and
command
you
not
to
fayle
,
for
such
is
our
pleasure
.
Giuen

our
Camp
at
Montpellier

twentith
day
of
October

And
giue
some
