(i) That Henry tho. Great and Lewis the 13 granted those Edicts to our Forefathers only on Pur- pose to deceive them, and with an in- tent afterwards to ruine them with the greater Facility under the Mask of this Fraud. (2) That not being them- selves able to effect this, being hin- dred by their other Affairs, they com- 150 The Complaints of the mitted this most important Secret to his present Majesty, to the end he should execute it when he met with a fitting Opportunity. (3) That his present... Majesty entring into the Thought of this, at his first coming to the Crown, he confirm'd those Edicts and set forth his Declarations of 1643 and 1652, with other Decrees advan- tageous to the Reformed Religion, only the more cunningly to impose on them, and lay Snares in their Way, or if you please, to crown them, as they crowned of old the Victims when they were to be sacrific'd. (4) That all that has been done against them since the Peace of the Pirennees, till this very time, according to the Abridg- ment which we have here made of it, has been only the Execution of a Project, yea even of a Project far more Ancient than we imagin'd, seeing we must date it from the time of the granting of the Edict of Nantes it self, and go back as far as to Henry the Greatior it, and in fine, that that which has been till now a great and profound Mistery is no longer so ; seeing the Protestants of France.
