THE FRENCH Historie.
The first outrage and horrible murder of the the Godlie, called The winning of Saint Iames his Streete.
The iudgements of the Lord shewed vpon these bloodie persecuters in this first outrage, by the example of manie the like out of the Scriptures.
The notable, famous, and constant Martirdome of Annas Bur∣geus, which, being one of the Kings Counsell, was burnt for the Gospel of Iesus Christ.
The iudgements of the Lord which fell vpon King Henrie the second after he had caused Burgaeus to be imprisoned Anno 159. Dila∣ted by the examples of Ahab, Amaziah, and Zedechiah, wicked Kings, which vsed the like crueltie against the word.
The bloodie marriage, or butcherlie murder of the Admirall of France, and diuers other noble and excellent men, at the marri∣age of Margaret the Kinges owne sister, vnto Prince Henrie sonne to the Queene of Nauarre, committed the 24. of August in the Citie of Paris Anno 1572.
The Admirall being slaine, they likewise murdred most cruellie not onelie all such frends, Phisitians, Preachers, and al other that were found hidden in the Admirals lodging, but also as manie as were suspected to be of that religion within the towne or anie where els, were lamentablie put to the sword, as here folowing we may plain∣lie see.
A cruell, cowardlie, and traitrous murder, committed in Angiers in France, vpon one Masson de Riuers a famous and godlie prea∣cher, by a wicked enemie called Monsorrell, who was sent by the King to Angiers in post, to commit the like murder there, as was in Paris.
The Iudgement of the Lorde against this bloodie and periured King of France, Charles the 9. Dilated by the sentence of God in the lawe against murder; by examples both out of the Scriptures, & other Authors, concerning the horrible end that hath fallen vpon wilfull murderers; and lastlie, the bloodie death of this blood-suc∣king King himselfe.
Ʋeritie purtraied by the French Pilgrime.
