CHAP. VI.
THE Assembly consulting upon His Majesties Writt, and consi∣dering that it does not contain an Express Command, but only a simple permission to nominate General Deputies, and that it doth in such a manner restrain the said permission, as that it leaveth unto this Assem∣bly no liberty nor power at all of calling the said Lord of Montmartyn to an Accompt, who hath from the first time of his Election unto this present day, exercised the said General Deputation, much less to give Instructions unto such as may be Elected unto the said Office. Besides that this Assembly durst not adventure upon the said Election without an open violation of His Majesties Edicts, Letters Patents, and Sealed Let∣ters, and of our usual, and accustomed Order, and the Solemn Prote∣station of former Synods, who have expresly declared, that they desi∣red and intended utterly to forbear all cognisance of Affairs of this Na∣ture. And farther that the Churches had been for a very long time to∣gether deprived of the Assistance of His Majesties Bounty, and that it would be needful most humbly to petition him to order his Royal Promises to be observed, and entirely accomplished and fulfilled. For these Causes and Reasons, and particularly that we might keep within the bounds of Order, and to the Ancient practice of the Churches, The Council judged it necessary to make a Deputation unto His Majesty, and voted the Sieurs de Bouteroue and de Baleines to carry their most Humble Petitions unto His Majesty, who were charged with Letters and Instructions unto His Majesty, and to the Chief Ministers of State.
