receiued at his handes 〈◊〉 he more readie to forget those offences which they had committed agaynst him then others by whom he had béen offended were to cease from renewing their euil demeanour toward him Whether he haue not alwaies yéelded honour and respecte to the Soueraigne Courtes and the officers of the same and also to all others that beare the marke of Justice And whether he did euer either forcibly cōmit any violence to iustice for els deny ed necessary strength to iustice if it were in his power to aybe her And as touching all other parties of this estate he that to euery of them hath not shewed any thing sauing honour frendship and good will neither euer displeasured or desired otherwise then to pleasure them cannot easily be beléeued nor iudged for an enimie of this estate Concerning the estate ingenerall he will not denye but that the Ciuill warres haue brought into this kingdome great confusion in all thinges pouertie to the people decaye to the nobilitie Ruine to the Cleargie Contempt to iustice men addicted to warre and aboue all the rest ciuill warre which he be waileth in his hart and woulde remedie if possibly he could yea with his owne proper blood But God is witnesse his conscience witnesseth Fraunce her selfe witnesseth hauing bryght eyes and verye freshe memorie by reason she saws and well remembreth all the course of that time whether he entred into arms except it were through the counsel of extreame necessitie though long aforehande he might haue foreséene and preuented her by reason The assembly of Bloys is witnesse stirred vp by this present league where he was declared to be banished out of this realms with all the professors of his religion except they chaunged their religion very quickely Which to him paraduenture were no hard chaunge if he had as litle religion in him as the aduersaries haue whether also he euer delayed the receiuing of peace for any particuler occasion whatsoeuer albeit his degrée is suche as that which to him is particular might rightly be iudged for publique when his conscience might be satisfied and could see that the professors of the same religion which he professeth might serue God according to their fayth in tranquilitie and quietnes Whether he euer demaunded any thing gaynefull to him selfe encrease of aucthoritie encrease of pencions or encrease of offices Whether contrariwise he hath not rather chosen to see him selfe as he is without aucthoritie in his gouernemēt which by the peace ought to be al yéelded into his handes then to prolong the war neuer so little then by the space of so much as an houre to delaye the comfort and succour of the people by the peace or to trouble the peace after it was made for default of enioying that which was promised in his regarde The articles of the last peace may be for witnesses and the conference of Flex wherein he might fitly haue serued his owne turne to inlarge his conditions by reason of the great desire which Mounsir that is deceassed had to passe into the Low Countries whether he was called by a generall Ambassage of the estates of the countrye who most instantly required and sollicited him to come thyther Yet the King of Nauarre at that time rather yéelded away his owne intrrest to the aduauncement of this kingdome then he would neuer so little differ or stande to make merchandise of a benefite as might thereby come to his partie Therefore he made peace and accepted it with suche conditions as pleased his maiestie to graunte to the intent too further the conquest of those countries and to transport him selfe thither in person yf it might so stande with his maiesties fanour and good liking These good Frenchmen the heades of the league to empeach the ioyning of Flaunders to Fraunce when the Ambassadoures of the Low Countryes offered it to the King with such conditions as that they were readie to receyue lawe from his Maiestie and admytte into their townes suche Garrisons and gouernours as pleased hym To the intent to let and hinder his maiesty there from doth vexe and trouble his kingdome cause his people to rise into mutinies and in time of full peace begyn to make warres What pacience the King of Nauarre hath vsed in all that time notwithstanding the discontentment that he might conceiue by the dealing which at the suggestion of such as be like to the aduersaries vsed toward hym I leaue it to the consideration of all the worlde beyng seperated from the King without aucthoritie in his gouernement not payed of that whiche was due vnto him and much lesse respected in his affayres then the least Captayne of the kingdome Be it spoken without reproche And to vtter the plaine truthe of his demeanours If he had béen no more touched with the féelyng and consideration of the griefe and detryment of the people and of all Fraunce then they of the league bee at thys day béeing that partye which hee is both people and Country myght haue fallen into vtter destruction But hee is a Frenchman and a French Prince a number of Fraunce and féeleth her gréeses and woundes Diminishing of authority want of fauour particular interest hadde neuer the power to make hym rage and spight agayust hymselfe whyth is a thing proper to the Leaguers who are but lightly grasted in Fraunce and are lyke to wodden legges and tymber Armes that féele nothing when the body is burned To which kinde of men may bee easily gyuen the outward parte but not the inwarde affection neyther the moouing or féeling of a true and naturall Frenchman Touching these broyles and commotions whych they declare and protest to bee directly against him bending themselues agayust hys person his lyse hys honour hys conscience séeing them armed and and taking Townes in the myddest of hys Gouernment béeing on euery side compassed and encombred by them his pacience incessantly styrred and moued ●f he had not respected the King more then his owne pryuate daunger if he had not earnestly desired the welfare of this Realme with hope of a publique peace if he may haue any peace at these mens handes yea and that more then his owne preseruation is there any likelyhoode or was there any reason he shoulde holde hym selfe content as he hath done But all is well so the people be at quiet he lyketh all well so the estate remayne in peace the King obeyed the King honoured as he ought to be yea though it were to his owne euident peryll with his losse vnrecouerable Here is the whole somme of al things whereby the Kyng of Nauarre canne be blamed with these fayre tyrles of heretique Relaps persecutor of the Church enemie of the Catholiques and disturber of this estate As touching the conclusion which they drawe from thence whereby they declare him vncapable to succéede in the kingdome and haue caused my Lorde the Cardinall of Bourbon his Vnckle to take vpon him the name of the first Prince of the blood and

Heire apparent This certainly is the poynt that most of all others sticketh in theyr harts wherevpon the sayd King of Nauarre hath hetherto thought least and nowe last of all it is presented to him Touching this point the said Lord the King of Nauarre contenteth himselfe in hope that God will long preserue life to the Kings Maiestie for the benefit and common wealth of thys Realme and graunt him issue in due time to the great gréefe of all his enemies Hys confidence also is that hee hath to doo with Frenchmen notwythstanding al the care and dilligence that hath béene vsed to corrupt them who know the rights are not ignoraunt of the discentos and will maintaine him in the place and degrée which he ought to hold He comforteth himselfe in God the defender of all right the reuenger of all violence who ●eth both parties whose most righteous iudgment is not like to to corporal mens whose most diffinitiue sentence is certaine and the execution therof inuariable in sort that nothing is of power to resist the same For conclusion and as concerning religion the said Lord the King of Nauarre declareth to the King hys soueraigne Lorde to all orders and estates of thys Realme and to all Princes and estates of thys Realme and to all Princes and estates of Christendome as well temporall as ecclesiasticall that he is and euer wyll be most ready to submit hymselfe to the determination of a lawful Generall or naturall counsell as is expressed in hys Maiesties edict of pacification And as concerning this estate the administration of the same that he most wyllingly dooth and wyll embrace and repose hymself vpon whatsoeuer in that behalfe shal be ordayned in a lawfull assembly of the estates of thys Realme when it shall please hys Maiestye to call the same together In the meane space the onely request and petition of the said King of Nauarre is nothing els but that be may liue quietly vnder the benefite of the edicts Béeing ready to employ hys lyfe his meanes lands and goods and all hys fréends for the defence of the King of hys Maiesties estate and all the good subiects of thys Realme And forasmuch as they of the said league haue taken the said King of Nauarre for the matter pretence of theyr rysing in Armes I would haue all men think that their quarrell is onely against him no man els sowing diuers slaunders abroad against him in their saide protestations wherin by expresse name they publishe him to he desirous of the kings death a disturber of the estate sworn enemy of the Catholiques c. Duer and aboue all the premisses which he thinketh sufficiēt to satisfy euery man the K. of Nauarre with al reuerence most humbly beséecheth the K. his soueraigne L. to whose eares he doubteth not but these slāders are come not to take in euil part sauing alwaies the honor respect due to his M. that he affyrme and pronounce in this place in that maner and sorte which presently he he doth to wit that all they which haue sowen abroade and published the saide flaunders contained in the said protestations against him haue falsly and slanderously lyed excepting the saide Lorde Cardinall his Vncle. And further to giue their slaunders the lye by his acttons the said Lord the R. of Nauarre most humbly beséecheth the King his soueraigne L. to vouchsafe the good liking of his most hūble fidelitie and deuotion in this offer which hee hath thought good here to make to his Maicstie to witte that for the quietnes and ease of his Maiestye and people it would please him wyth good liking to decyde thys quarrell betwéene them of the sayd league and hym the sayde King of Nauarre wythout hazarding his Maiesties life therein which would be too greate a losse in thys kingdome and without any further paynes to be taken by his M. about the same Hoping that God wyll gyue him grace to find sufficient fréends and allyes of hys crowne to bring them to reason to driue thē to acknowledge theyr most bounden duetye which they owe to the saide Lord the king hys soueraigne and the respect and honour that vnder hys M. ought to appertaine to the sayd king of Nauarre But specially for that he can not without sighing and shedding of teares think vppon the great spoyling of the Nobileties blood which may procéede of thys warre nor vpon the extreame pouertye and desolation which the poore people of thys Realme shall bee driuen to suffer neyther vpon the disorder and confusion which thereby will bee brought into all estates in stéede of the great piety mereye and wysedome of hys Maiestie in preparing if this commotion hadde not happened as all men knowe to establish thys estate agayne in her former beautye prosperity dignity and integrity in all resperts and aboue all the rest hee can not without sighing and great anguish of mynde thinke on the execrable blasphemies which war bringeth foorth against God and the ouerflowing of vices which growe through the licence and liberty of the Armies To shorten these mi series which the sayd L. the King of Nauarre would willingly redéeme with hys proper bloode he most humbly and with all duetifull affection beséecheth hys Maiesty not to thinke straunge of the offer which presently hee maketh to Mounsir de Guyse séeing the aduersaryes haue taken him the sayd king of Nauarre for party in theyr pretence and the sayde Lorde of Guyse commaundeth in theyr Armies to wyt that thys quarrell as well wythout puttyng all the orders and estates of thys kyngdome to any further dammage molestation or trouble as also wythout leuying or bringing in any domesticall or forrayne Army touching the same which coulde not choose but be the destruction of all poore people may be decyded and determined betwéene the sayd king of Nauarre and the sayd Monsir de Guyse by way of Combat in their owne proper persons either one against one two against two ten to ten or twenty to twenty more or lesse in such number as the saide L. of Guyse will appoint with such kind of Armour weapons as are accustomed to bee vsed amongst Knights of honor And cōcerning the place if be desire it within this kingdome the said K. of Nauarre most humbly be●cheth his M. to vouchsafe him the honor to naminate the same Or in case Mounsier de Guyse shall suspect this Realme then the King of Nauarre offereth him to bee readye in such other place out of this Realme as he the said L. of Guyse shall choose so it be a place of sure accesse suspected to neither party An honor certainely considering the difference and in equality of their persons and degrées being such as all men know that the sayde L. of Guyse ought by all meanes to embrace and purchase a felicity also which the said Lord the King of Nauarre and my Lorde the Prince hys Cozin wyll most wyllingly buy with they re owne bloods to redaeme the King theyr soueraigne Lord from the vocation 〈◊〉 which the aduersaryes moste distoyally put hym to hys estate from trouble and confusion his Nobility from destruction and all his people from extreame misery and calamity The sayde Lord the King of Nauarre protesting before God and in hys conscience that he is not mooued to choose thys way through any ambition raigning in hym nor by any hatred that he beareth to hys enimies nor for any reuenge that he wysheth toward them nor yet in regarde of that spightfull and malicious spoile and destruction which they would tryumphe and reioyce to see executed vppon hym But contrariwyse hys resolution to take the fortune of the Combat procéedeth as well from the great zeale feruēt desire which hée hath to sée God true ly serued and honoured hys Kyng frée from vexation and trouble hys estate in peace and the people at reste and quietnesse as also from the great displeasure annoyaunce and woe whych euery moment he setteth before his mynde not onelie to see God blasphemed againe in thys estate béeing in the waues and perills of shypwracke but also to see thys poore people caste againe into the extreamytye and myseryes paste whereinto yf they fall once agayne skant can any man reléeue and delyuer them from the same Fynally the sayde Lorde the Kyng of Nauarre is most certainly perswaded and reposeth all hys trust and confidence in the almighty who séeth the secretes of all harts and is chéefe president and bea reth the whole sway in all exploytes and déedes of Armes that he of his infinite mercy and goodnes by the euent and successe wyll manifestly declare and shews to all the whole world not onely the sincerety but also the righteousnes of the cause to the intent it may serue for an example to all posterityes and ages whose wrath vengeance and curse he wysheth to fall vpon him yf he protest falsly or euer imagined barme eyther toward the kynges person or against hys estate or subiects of what calling degrée or religion soeuer they be If euer he contriued any deuyse or plotte to take effect vppon the kinges Tombe or death Or euer compassed or cast in hys mynde any violence against either the Romish religion or the Catholiques reposing his whole and onely hope in God to receiue from hys eternall Maiesty hys mercifull blessing gracious goodwyll and louing fauour against all them that wythout occasion séeke hys destruction and vnder shaddowe of hys name molest the kingdome ouerthrowe all good order destroy the people and meane to stryp the kyng out of his

people so much as the space of one onely day Yet it is well knowen that if he had been so minded it lay in his handes at that time to haue serued his owne turne with the armie of the Rutters who euery houre were readie for default of their pay at the Kinges handes according to the articles of the peace to enter into a mutinie and turne their heads towardes Paris Contrariwise then was the time wherein the heades and maisters of this league abusing his clemencie and goodnes deuised this pretended holy league agaynst the kinges edict then newly proclaymed whereby in expresse woordes they swoore the vtter destruction of them of the religion without any exception or acception of persons and without respect or regard of alliance affinitie consanguinitie kinred or brotherhood Such as entred thereinto without looking into the depth of the matter drewe themselues out as soone as they knewe it And a● concerning the saide King of Nauarre then wore the instructions discouered which as this day are put in execution concluding his death also the death of my Lord the prince his Cozin and all their blood Note of Dauid the aduocate for the preparing of a more easie waye to the aduersaries as is expressely set downe to the inuasion of this kingdome Heere let all men indge who at that time was the agent or pacient the persecuter or the persecuted Thence issued the ciuill wars of the yéere one M. flue hundred seauēty seanen whē they had induced the assēblie of Bloys to the execution of their deuise it had béene altogether against nature if the sayde King of Nauarre or they that are of his profession had not made resistaunce against the same For thereby a snare was layde for his person and life his conscience and honor were layd for by the same and the kingdome or royall estate as nowe manifestlie appeareth was in daunger The great inconuenience and perrill which the king perceiued not did then but begin to bud foorth insomuch that his maiestie could not imagine anie such thing toward them who helde all their prosperity of him But the King of Nauarre wel foresawe it yea contrariwise the defaulte of resisting the same woulde haue béene the betraying of himselfe the destruction of this estate and the submission of himselfe to their desires in stéede of setting himselfe against the same In the meane space though the cruell clauses of the conspiracie were very suffcient immediatly to turne his patience into fury and the naturall mildnes and mercy of them that issue of his house into reuenge although also he saw the professors of his religion to runne to him from all partes béeing rigorously persecuted or put to theyr choyse to depart the Realme or recant theyr religion Yet neuerthelesse the sayde Lord the King of Nauarre in the Townes vnder his power would not vse the like maner of dealing toward the Catholiques nor against the Monkes and Clergiemen which indéede might be suspected and disfauoure the execution of his affayres On the contrary side they of Agen well know which example he alleageth for that there was the place of his resident hauing a byshopricke in it and being a towne of some fame that the Catholikes there suffered no hard dealing in theyr persons or goodes nor discontinuaunce in the matter of their religion That the Clergie applyed their accustomed seruices That the Monkes preached freely in the greatest heate of the sayd troubles That be was content the professors of his religion should make theyr sermons in priuate and borrowed houses to the ende the professors of the Romish religion shoulds not in any wise be troubled That for the furnishing of necessaries for his defence he tooke not aboue the tenthes which the King was wont to leuie vpon the clergie At what time all his patrimony was seasd and taken out of his handes in all places whereof my Lorde the Duke of Montpencido may be witnes a prince most affectioned to the Romish religion as all men very well knowe And also Mounsier the Marshall of Biron my L. the Archbishop of Vienna Mounsir de Villeroy secretary of estate to his Maiestie and many others that were beholders of it vpon the places can giue testimony of the same As soone as liberty of conscience was granted albeit with very great restraint in comparison of the former edict he vnarmde him selfe without delay though as hys Maiestie best of all others knoweth hee coulde haue continued the warres with greater power and meanes by reason of the notable ayde which hee had procured from the Princes of hys religion béeing so farre forwarde that a strong Armye of straungers was at the poynt of entring into this kingdome thinking himselfe happy to haue dispatched the same away in sort that the poore people by occasion thereof might suffer no farther inconuenience choosing rather by succouring them to impayre his owne condition then to better it with theyr hinderaunce Wherefore the sayd Lorde the King of Nauarre prayeth all men freely to speake theyr mindes whether hee hath in any respect by his demencures descrued the name of a persecutor which his enimies attribute vnto him that would not take this resolution to suffer them goe forwarde with the execution of theyr barbarous persecutions and bloudie deuises against him at the first shewe but consequently against the Kinges Maiesty and his royall estate In those Countries where the saide King of Nauarre by the grace of God hath soucraigne power and authority he thinketh also to haue as little deserued this blame in the iudgement of them that haue well knowne the nature of matters and the order of his procéedinges And in all that remaineth to him of the kingdome of Nauarre where at his comming to hys dignity he founde the exercise of the Catholique Romish religion it is most certeyne that he hath neither altered nor innouated any thing therein in so much that the seruice of the same is there stil vsed at this day without any exercise of the reformed religion sauing in two places onely And as touching his countrie of Bearne which is no great land the Quéene his mother in a generall assemblie of the estates did there establish the said religion whereof her selfe made profession and no complaynt of the chaung of religion followed thereuppon to the said estates in the space of many yéeres after it had continued in the same estate as he hath alredie fréely declared hauing alwaies been of this opiniō that a discréet and well counseiled Prince without great necessitie or euident profit ought not to bring any chaunge into his estate And though commoditie or necessitie shoulde require the same yet it were expedient that it shoulde be accomplished by the like waye whereby the constitution was before made Nowe he had well pérceiued that after Bartholmew day when him selfe by force and violence had yéelded in the cause of religion and sent Monsir de Mieussent for gouernour and Liuetenant generall into

sufficient euidence giuen that theyr colour and pretence was to roote out that religion which the King of Nauarre professeth and most specially so bestroy him if it lay in their power in sort that the first stroke of their thunderbolt 〈◊〉 haue lighted first vpon his heade If his maiestie in the meanespa●e sawe not into the ende of their practises By occasion whereof the saide king of Nauarre perceiuing the king his Soueraigne Lord had giuen no order therein and foreséeing their pretence tended to destroy the protestantes was iustly moued to haue regard to his affayres And therefore about the ye●re M. v.r.lxxx and thrée he dispatched Mounsir de Segur Pardillian superintendent of his house to the Quéene of Englande the King of Denmarke the princes ●lectors of Almanie the Lantgraue of Hesse and other Princes and estates First to exhort them to séeke meanes to agrée the ●outrouersies in religiō which remayned 〈◊〉 the reformed churches and were abused to their common destruction Secondly to renewe and assure a perfect amis●●e with them without desiring or employing them any farther Thirdlye to furnishe in Almanye a good some of money therewith to prou●d whē néede should require a conueni●t succor against his mortal enimies At the which Kings Princes and estates are straighly allied to the Crowne of Fraunce with whom the King his Soueraigne Lorde hath Ambassadores with which Ambassadores the saide Mounsier de Segur had expresse charge to conferre and so did at certaine times whom he tooke for witnesses of his sayinges doinges of his propositions negotiations conclusions And after his returne the saide King of Nauarre most humbly besought his ma●estie to giue commaundement that with a● diligence information might be taken brought to his Maiestie of a● his legatiō being fully assured that therin they may most playnely beholde his french hart sincere affection true loyaltie towarde his maiesties person and Royall estate Wherefore the said King of Nauarre requireth al the aforesaid most noble kings princes to giue testimonye to the King vnder their owne signetts to his kingdome and al christendome whether at any tyme there haue been on his behalfe any letters or instructions deliuered 〈◊〉 communication had either againste the Kinges dignitye or against the wealth and felicity of hys estate or in any respect cōtrary to the duety 〈◊〉 a most humble and most deuoute seruant subiecte whether euer hee mooued them to make warre vpon the King to renue the troubles or destroy the Catholiques whether euer any ouerture hath béene directly or indirectly made vnto them touching the Kings death or any matter to followe vpon the same Also the sayde Lord the King of Nauarre most humbly beséech●th hys Maiestie that he may be tollerated to sende thys hys declaration to the sayde Princes against the aforementioned flaunders and to cause the same to bee presented by his Maiesties owne Ambassadors to wytte by euery of them in the place wher he is resident to all Christian Princes fréendes and confederates of this kingdome To thys ende that if he haue treated of any lyke matter then they nowe seeing him protest the contrary may estéeme him for a counterfeyte Prince of small fayth and troth and in all respectes vnwoorthye of theyr amity and fréendshyppe which hys abouesayd enemies goe about to make suspected And which for hys owne parts he franklie declareth that his desyre is with all carefulnes to entertayne as hee thinketh he hath most reasonably sought the same As touching the concord or agréement the aduersaryes allege it to beare date the fourtéenth day of December in the yéere 1580. and there make the sayds Mounsier de Segur present as Ambassadour from the King of Nauarre who had departed out of Almany repassed into the Lowe Countries and from thence into Englande where he soiourned two monethes and aboue and yet notwithstanding the employment of all that tyme was embarqued to returne into Fraunce before the fourtéenth day of December In which concorde they bring in the Ambassadours of the Elector Palatine and of the Prince of Orange the one dead aboue a yéere before leauing hys heyre vnder yéeres during whose mynority Duke Cazimir gouerneth the electorship the other murbered foure monethe● before by a Je●uite suborne● by such as are like to the confederates of this pretended holy league And yet nenerthelesse both the saide pr●●es as the aduersaries alledge are bound to be present this moneth of May in the towne of Basill concerning the concluding of some agréement in the controu●rsies of religion The aduersaries adde with all that the King of Nauarre on the xviii day of Aprill then next promised to enter into armes at which time forsooth they them selues were resolued to enter into them and now goe about to deriue the hatred thereof vppon this Prince who being on euery side compassed about with their conspiracies yet sturreth not at al. They date the said contract at Maidenbourgh a towne apperteyning to the sonne of my Lord the elector of Brandenbourgh and yet in the concord they remember neyther father nor the sonne And in truth it is no other but an imagniary assemblie For neither in that place nor any other canne there anye assemblie be founde to haue béen holden Further the tytles 〈◊〉 so many other 〈…〉 to much 〈…〉 to 〈…〉 with so 〈…〉 ●ncte to 〈…〉 〈…〉 for a 〈◊〉 pedlers 〈◊〉 〈…〉 Presthers 〈…〉 to 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 people inste●ius 〈◊〉 they● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 with bery 〈…〉 〈◊〉 for what can they 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 war●e 〈◊〉 The 〈◊〉 of Mon●anban reser 〈◊〉 more bl●●e for any thing 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 thereof nor more 〈…〉 any thing published by thē of 〈…〉 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 The true 〈…〉 wheir the king h●●de conclud●d prace in the yeare 〈…〉 fiue 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 seaue● withful inte●tion 〈…〉 〈…〉 should 〈…〉 〈◊〉 his Muiesty lest in the 〈…〉 of the King of Nau●r●● and the 〈◊〉 〈…〉 for the 〈◊〉 of this god 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉 very many de●●●ous of nothing more then to ●●nus the troubles who after fette themselues in Ar●●● with the Authors of thys league by all meanes possible crossed the execution of the sayde evict of peace and at all houres by sundry newe enterprises gaus occasion of distrust in sorte that the wounds which they ought to haue cured wered forer and the edict of peace which in tyme past was to take effects flydde backwards ●●●ppe by steppe and was cleane cut away from the Protestants poynt after poynt By the continuaunce of which practises it come to passe that during the 〈◊〉 yéeres the peace was diuersly interrupted by surprysings and attempts yea and by open war that continued the space of a whole yéere 〈◊〉 whence issued the conferences of N● rac Flex so that the 〈◊〉 yeres which were pre●●●ed for the rendring vp of the places ●●●●ised not to work the effect wherunto they were limitted and that by reason of the impedimēt which came by means of these interruptions of
