His Majesties Declaration for estblishing of the Catholique Religion in Rochel.

IF it be glorious to overcome, it is no lesse important to take such care as may confirm the Victory. To this purpose his Majesty before he left Rochel, publi∣shed a Declaration comprehending that order which he would have observed there for the future, both to establish Religion, and to prevent this people from relap∣sing into their former Rebellion. This Declaration contained, that the exercise of the Roman Catholick and Apostolick Religion, should be freely exercised there, both in the City and Government of Aulnis; that the Churches which had been lately destroyed thereabouts, should be re-edified and restored to them in whose possession they formerly were, together with all their appurtenances; that a suffi∣cient maintenance should be given to such Curats as had not means to live on, out of those lands which belonged to the Town-house. That the Religieux de la Cha∣rite, & Les Religiouses Hospitalieres, should be re-established in the Hospitals of the Town, to attend upon all sick persons. That a Crosse should be raised in the Castle-yard, at the foot of which an Inscription of the taking the City should be in∣scribed; and that every first of November a Procession general should be made, to give God thanks for his mercies; that the Church-yard consecrated in the lands of Corcille, where those of the Camp, who died during the siege had been buried, should still he conserved to that use; that a convent of Religieux Minimes should be built there, who might pray unto God for them, and perpetuate the memory of the thing; this is that which his Majesty did for thanks-giving to God and the con∣solation of the Catholick party in the Town.
