And so it was that judges protested and warriors drew the sword, while clergymen denounced from the pulpit the authors or abettors of even the limited scheme of toler- ation proposed. " Nonpossumus, nee debemus pro conscien- tia" said the Parliament of Paris, when called upon to register the obnoxious law. And at the little Cham- pagnese town of Vassy, by attacking a peaceable body of Huguenots met in a barn for the worship of God, and by massacring as many of the worshippers as he could i4° Hu...guenot Society of America reach, the Duke of Guise expressed his own detestation and the detestation of the party which he represented for the accursed doctrine of religious liberty as embod- ied more or less imperfectly in the Edict of January. From the Massacre of Vassy, on the first of March, 1562, to the Promulgation of the Edict of Nantes in 1598, is a period of about thirty-six years, in great part a period of open warfare, at times diversified by a resort to treachery and assassination.
