being questioned at all This who done to draw in the simple people who wandred up and downe the fields The first president called Dasis a subtle headed man sent to the Counsellors abroad to come in promising them their safety upon his word shewing that their absence did but incense the Inhabitants of Tholouse the more against them It was granted indéed that there had been a Massacre at Paris but that was upon some private quarrell so as the King was not minded for that to breake his edict of pacification Some of them were perswaded and returned others casting some perill resolved to retire to Mountauban Realmont and elsewhere On Tuesday following that they might hold them whom they had gotten within the Walls and draw in such as yet kept themselves without they caused it to be published with sound of trumpets that the Kings will was that none of the religion should be molested but respectively used The presidents with sundry others were present at this Proclamation accompanied with a guard of souldiers which caused many of the Religion especially the Counsellors to suspect some trechery who therefore hastened to the first president to know what these things meant He answered it was onely to restralue the people from making a tumult But perceiving that they could not by their cunning catch the birds who kept aloose off they wrecked their malice upon those they had in their hands On Wednesday next then about ten of the clocke in the morning having separated their Troupes into divers quarters they caused them to enter into the houses of those of the Religion whom they imprisoned in sundry prisons of the City This businesse held them all that Wednesday The guard was doubled at the gates and one of the Parliament with a Merchant that was a Papist deputed as commanders at the said gates to examine all such as went out and to put backe such as meant to escape There was also a charge given that none should dare to conceale any of the said Religion as they would answer to the contrary By meanes whereof many being discovered were imprisoned Among which were five or six Counsellors men excellently learned who comforted the rest Thus were they detained thrée wéeks In the meane while the Massacrers set upon the neighbour Cities The thrée wéeks being expired they put all these prisoners together into the Consciergery which is a speciall prison After which they began to manifest themselves for the reason why they had deferred the slaughter of them so long was that they might obtaine authority from Paris the which was brought them by their Deputies whose names were Delpech and Madron rich Merchants of the City These came with a warrant from the King that if the Massacre was not finished then they should not deferre any longer to put his will in execution To which they shewed themselves but too forward and ready On Saturday morning before the Summe was up certaine schollers who were night walkers with other lewd fellowed to the number of seven or eight 〈◊〉 with 〈◊〉 and 〈…〉 entred into the said Consciergery and causing the prisoners to be called down one after another they massacred them beneath at the staires fast of the Consciergery not permiting them so much much leisure as to speake much lesse to pray It was thought that they massacred to the number of thrée hundred afterwards spoiling them of all they had stripping them out of their cloathes and shirts and leaving them naked their secret parts Three hundred massacred in the City of Tholouse in France being onely covered with a piece of paper They were exposed to the view of all for the spare of two daies whilest they digged great pits whereinto the corpses thus cruelly massacred were cast naked one upon another The Counsellors whom they had imprisoned after they were massacred were hanged in their long ●●●ones upon a great Elme which was in the Court of the Palace and in the meane while the houses of those of the Religion were sacked and pillaged Many among these by reason of the barbarous cruelties used against their Brethren adjured daily Now because the Sorbonists provided a forme of abjuration to that purpose for saving the lives of such as recanted it shall not be impertinent to insert the same in this place it being imprinted at Paris by Nicholas Roffet The abjured minding to returne into the lap of our holy Mother the Roman Church must present
