scandalous and injurious unto that Religion and Church of which his Majesty held it an honour to be stiled the eldest sonne and against him whom hee acknowledgeth to be the chiefe calling him holy Father and with whom he hath Alliance and amity for these reasons their Majesties desire that in a thing they take so much to heart you will manifest and make known the respect and obedience which you will render unto that which by them is propounded unto you Moreover I will adde this that their Majesties have commanded mee to tell you that they have just cause to complain against you for that since his Raigne they of your Religion have undertaken to re-establish Preaching in Languedoc and elsewhere by an open violent way contrary to the publike Assurance and the generall Lawes of the Kingdome which forbid equally unto the Subjects both of the one and the other Religion to doe right unto themselves as in other things so more especially as likewise in the enterprise of Vsez where they placed Bels in their Temple without permission and leave and against the termes of their Capitulation of the City of Monpellier Their Majesties are displeased that they of your Religion in Languedoc have enterprised to renue the deputation in the Court of Monpellier Nismes and Vsez suppressed long since in the year 1632. out of the Capitulation of the foresaid City and that Seiurs Reyzobs and Faraier deputed themselves without the consent of a Provinciall Synod and that they parted against the leave of his Majestie and that they have established Preaching by private Authoritie in sundry places besides the places designed by the Commissioners of his Majestie in execution of the Edicts of Names and contrary to the same Edicts have continued preaching in those places where the Lords are Ecclesiasticks as their Majesties have beene informed And besides all this certaine Ministers have taken unto themselves that height of liberty as to preach in their Pulpits seditious words and have cut off from their Communion such Parents as have sent their children to the Colledges of the Catholike Apostolike Roman Religion Lastly they have given me in charge to ell you that all these are manifest Infractions unto the Edicts contrary to their duty to the prejudice of the King and the publike tranquillity the which his Majestie hath been so carefull to observe on his part as that hee neither can nor ought as a common Father of his people to suffer the like attempts hoping that for the time to come you will use greater circumspection in removing all just discontentments which may upon any occasion be offered These things heard the Deputies made answer by the mouth of Seigneur Garrisoles Moderator who acknowledging that by the mercifull bounty of Almighty God the prayers of the Churches were so blessed as that after the publike losse of France in the death of the late King of glorious and immortall memory and this sad Ecclipse of our Sunne which seemed to bee for ever buried in the blacke darknesse of uncomfortable griefe and irremediable confusion every man hath seen with incredible joy and admiration the happinesse and peace of the estate of France to appeare as a new bright starre out of the East which hath raised the hope of all his faithfull Subjects and of all Christendome possessed with wonder when they consider that the good hand of God hath not only elevated his Majestie as it were from the Cradle to his Fathers Throne whose birth was so long desired and at length by Gods wonderfull providence obtained by the joynt prayers and supplications of his people and particularly of the Churches but also put the Reines of this Empire into the hands of the Queene Regent a Princesse whose glorious birth seemes to serve for no other end but to place her vertues on the highest Theater o● Glory Secondly under the Auspitious happinesse of the continuall prosperity and succesfull victories thereof have so added to the reputation of this Crowne as that in despight of envy they have joyned hand in hand to second the just Armes of his Majesty imployed in the defence of the Estate the protection of his Al●ies the designes of his Royall Highnesse and other Chieftaines having every where encountred a successe as well happy as glorious insomuch as the first workes of employments from Royall Authority since his Majesties comming to the Crowne hath been the Declaration of the Edicts of Pacification the assurance of their sacred Majesties protection unto all the Churches in favour of which the Edicts have been first published the glorious approving of the services of two great men nourished in the bosome of their Communion and so raised above the pitch of envy as that the Staffe of Marshall of France with the conduct of Royall Armies have been put into their hands without discontentment of any person in the State and that their Majesties have been graciously pleased to receive their Supplications presented by Monsieur the Generall Deputy as that hee hath thought good to grant them the holding of this Assembly and to commit the care and inspection thereof to a person no lesse Illustrious by his vertues worthy of the highest esteeme then by his place of dignity in the first of Parliaments Being thus carryed with the sweet and pleasing violences of resentments of so many good deeds to open their hearts and mouthes in giving thankes unto their Majesties for their singular favours with their most Ardent prayers to God for the preservation of their Sacred persons benediction of the Kingdome the glory of the Crown under the comfortable shadow whereof the Churches enjoying a sweet rest shall never desire or thinke any thing but to practise faithfully and conscientiously the expresse commandement of our Saviour by St. Peter Feare God and honour the King with an intire and sincere obedience without any designe nor to admit in the body of their Nationall Synod contrary to ancient custome persons not deputed by the Provinces nor to foment any communication with strangers nor to take and receive any Letters comming from them nor to give an answer unto them unlesse such as the Commissary representing his Majesties person shall find expedient nor to make any politick deliberations and Rules nor to introduce into particular Churches for their Pastour any Ministers being strangers nor to establish any Counsells of the Province against the will of the King nor to suffer the violation of the rules taken in Nationall Synods according to the intention of his Majestie for the approbation of bookes which shall be published in print touching matters of Religion Nor to Excommunicate any of them which forsake their Churches and acknowledge not their Jurisdiction over them at the time they shall quit their Communion nor to vent any Sermons fraught with rayling and reproachfull termes injurious to the members of the Roman Church as well in generall as particular which may in any sort stirre up or animate the people to a tumultuous rising and
