bruit of peace to be had betwixt him and the Prince. The
Pont De Charenton has been taken by the Prince. There
was great slaughter on both sides. The King's captain and

declared how many innocent people have been there persecuted on account of their religion contrary to the King's
Edict without any redress. Has been credibly informed that
on 8th September last there was a meeting of certain cardinals
at which it was determined to seize upon certain town and put
down the professors of the reformed doctrines by force. If
this was not a matter of religion and the Condians were
endeavouring to seize on the government he would be ready
