Translated out of French , By P.B. Louis the fourteenth by the grace of God , the most Christian King of France and Navarre , to all Christian Kings , Princes , States and People , sendeth greeting . WHereas we are informed by our Deare Aunt the Queene of England , of the distressed estate of the King her Husband , forced upon him by a rebellious party of his meanest Subjects under the command of the Baron of FAIRFAX , who is likewise countenanced by a small handfull of the basest of the people crept into the lower House of Parliament , but not being a tenth part thereof , the worthiest being either imprisoned , or banished by the tyranny of the Army , have designe to proceed against the person and life of their King , which is an action so detestable , and so destructive to the Nationall Rights of Princes and people , who are like to be inslaved thereby , and to know no law but that of the Sword ; that we conceive our self obliged by the lawes of God and man , in the duty of a Christian , as well as the rights of a King , either to redeem from bondage the injured person of our neighbour King and Uncle , or to revenge all outrages already done , or hereafter which may happen to be done thereupon . Therefore with the advice of our deare Mother the Queen Regent , and Counsell , we do publish and declare our detestation of all such proceedings , and vow in the presence of God and his holy Angels , a full revenge upon all actors or abettors of this odious designe , to the utter extirpation of them , their wives and children , out of all parts of Christendome wherein our power or interest can prevaile , if they proceed to this damnable fact , we conceiving it fit , to root out from humane society such a spurious and viperous generation of men . And we do therefore prohibit all such persons , their wives and children to come into any of our Dominions , unlesse they will be proceeded against as traitors to God and Nations . And we do likewise invite all our neighbour Kings , Princes and States in amity with Us , or with whom we have any difference , to an honourable peace ▪ that we may all joyne in Gods Cause and our owne , to revenge these hypocriticall proceedings of inraged Villains , who ( we heare ) take the cause of God for their pretence to destroy his ordinance . And we desire all our neighbour Kings , Princes and States to make the same Proclamation we have done , against any of these or their adherents , from coming into their Territories ; that when by Gods justice , and ours and others endeavours , they shall be chased out of their native countrey , they may wander like vagabonds in heathenish places , with the odious brands of Regicides upon them : and further to consider , whether that if the like madnesse took any of their armies , they would not implore our helps , as now this afflicted Queen and Aunt of ours hath occasion to do theirs , against persons who are now twice Rebells : First , against their lawfull Soveraigne , upon pretence of reformation of Government ; and now against the very men and authority which raised them for that pretended occasion ; wherein Gods justice is so apparent , that we are confident he will blesse this work intended by us , and which we hope will be seconded by all persons of honor and Justice both at home and abroad , to help to suppresse these rebells against their raisers ; who yet presume upon the successe of their armes to erect their owne base thoughts and fortunes , above the limits of Religion or reason , to suppresse that Authority which God hath set over them . Signed , Louis . And below , Bryan , Secretary of State .
