Had now ascended the throne, and was sur- rounded by four advisers, who were in all respects the most de- termined enemies of the Gospel : they were, the Cardinal of Lor- raine, Anne de Montmorency, the Marshal St. Andre, and the old mistress of the king, Diana of Poictiers, who controlled him, as Beza says, by a sort of magic. When the king solemnized his public entry into Paris, he expressed his wish to see one of the heretics. A poor Huguenot tailor was accordingly brought to him : the tailo...r was a man whose cowardice, it was supposed, might be safely reckoned upon ; but, contrary to expectation, he proclaimed with energy the great truths of the Gospel; and when the king, hearing him address Diana of Poictiers somewhat rudely*, desired him to be burnt, he fixed his eyes so firmly on the monarch, that the latter could never forget his look. Many others were burnt in Paris at this festival, and the same spectacle presented itself on all sides. Beza gives a connected detail of the occurrences of the period f, extending to the year 1553.
