Sect. 8. Two things among others were dispatch'd in this Council, 1. They publish the Confession of their Faith: and tell the King and Kingdom what they believe and practise. This was put into the Hands of their Young King, lately come to the Crown, upon the Death of his Father, who though he had sworn to see that famous Martyr of Christ Annas du Bourg, Counsellour in the Parliament of Paris, burnt; yet was, at a Tilt by Count de Montgomery a Protestant, wounded with a Launce in the Eye, and died before he could perform his Oath. How Francis the Second entertained this Confession when it was tender'd him, is not my Business to relate: I shall only give my Reader the Confession itself: and I do the rather lay it before him, because it is a brief System of the Protestant Religion, con∣stantly read at the opening of all their Synods, and because of the frequent References unto it in and by all those National Synods which I now publish.
