CHAP. XII.

Of the Arrest which interven'd upon those two Petitions; and Of what pass'd in the Parliament touching that matter.

THere hapned a very Considerable Incident on the first of October in the election of M. Hallier to the office of Syndic: but because it had many se∣quels, that I may not interrupt what concerns this Censure and the Petitions upon which the Arrest in∣terven'd the fifth day of the same moneth; I shall forbear speaking of the affair of M. Hallier, till I have spoken of the said Arrest, and what preceded it and hath connexion with the things I last treated of.

I cannot passe over in silence the desire and care which MM. Tristan, Julien, Guerin, le Fevré, le Blond of Sorbonne, de Sainte Helvine, and Mesni∣dré, had the first and fourth dayes of this moneth to partake in the procurement of these Arrests. For they took an Act, on those dayes, before Notaries, that the appeals against Abuses, interpos'd both by me and the other Doctors nam'd in the Petition, be∣ing communicated to them, they adher'd thereunto, became appellants (as well as we) against all that had been done and pass'd in the assembly of the first of July, and against all that follow'd upon the same; they made M. Cornet and Mulot defendants as we

had done, and purpos'd to have all the prosecuti∣ons requisite and necessary to this affair transacted in their names as well as ours.

M. Broussel having on the 4 of October 1649. spoken in the Chamber of Vacations concerning our two Petitions and the project of the Censure above inserted (a Copy whereof was annex'd to our se∣cond Petition) it was ordain'd that he should cause notice to be given to MM. Cornet and Pereyret and such other as he thought fit of those whose names were subscrib'd to that Censure, with some also of them who complain'd thereof, that either side might appear the next day at the Palais at seven a clock of the morning in the said Chamber, to be heard there.

I went to see M. Broussel at his coming forth of the Palais. He told me this, and that he thought it con∣venient to summon with MM. Cornet and Pereyret, M. Hennequin, who was the antientest of those that had subscribed. I made some scruple thereof at first, and represented to him, that we had not made M. Henne∣quin a Defendant, nor did he meddle in this enter∣prise, but that the authors of it caus'd him to be nam'd, in regard of some dislikes which they knew he had against the truths they struck at; and were willing on the one side to cover (what they could) their Conspiracy and Cabal with the good repute of that antient Doctor's name, who was not to be suspected thereof; and on the other to have him favourable to their designs by the inclination of his sentiments: That his candour made me concern'd for him, and I fear'd it would trouble him to think himself persecuted by us, in case he should be sent for to the Parliament.

This Consideration caus'd M. Broussel to consent to summon only MM. Pereyret and Cornet. After∣wards, having bethought my self, that the Court could not be better and more truly inform'd of the things that had pass'd then by the mouth of one who would speak thereof with plainnesse and ingenuity, (as I knew M. Hennequin would do) and that I might acquaint him privately that it was for no other end that he was sent for; I return'd to M. Broussel to tell him this: He approv'd of it, and fol∣low'd his first purpose: and I assur'd him that on our part M. de Mincé and my self would not fail to appear.

MM. Pereyret and Cornet were the next day more diligent then we. Assoon as they were come, an Usher advertis'd the Court thereof, and they were presently introduc'd; upon a conceit, as I imagine, that both sides were there. They had the advan∣tage of speaking alone to the Court about a quar∣ter of an hour, and a possibility of prepossessing it without our being there to observe what they said; and I did not otherwse come to know the things that pass'd during that quarter of an hour but by M. the President Coigneux, who was in office that week, and told us t••e same assoon as M. de Mincé and I were introduc'd.

He spoke to us very near in these words. The Court, before it pronounce any thing upon the Pe∣titions presented by you, hath thought fit to hear both the one side and the other, to the end to bring you to agreement, and to oblige you to live peacea∣bly. You complain of a certain Manuscript Censure which runs through the world under the name of some Doctors that style themselves Deputies of the Faculty for examining certain Propositions. Your Adversaries here, say they have not given order to any person to publish the same; That it is against their mind that it is publish'd; That they gave it not to any, nor spoke to any to give Copies of it; That they disown all such as have done it: Desire you any thing more, in order to being satisfy'd and living with good understanding together?

M. de Mincé began to speak after this discourse, and answer'd almost in these words. Messieures; About four or five years ago, when the heat began on either side about opinions of Doctrine which concern the Propositions in question, the Faculty, by an universal consent of all the Doctors, for a∣voiding contentions and divisions which might arise amongst them thereby, ordain'd that no Speech should be had thereof on one side or other. From that time, they remain'd in silence and peace till the first of July last, when M. Cornet the Syndic (as I since understood, (said M. de Mincé) for I was not at that Assembly) by a manifest enterprise against that Conclusion of the Faculty, set afoot and requir'd to be debated certain Propositions relating to that doctrine: In which he not only violated the resolu∣tion which the Faculty had taken not to speak there∣of, but also acted contrary to the order receiv'd and practis'd from all time in the said Faculty, which is wont not to debate upon any Propositions, unless the books and places of the books from whence such Propositions are taken, be noted and examin'd; be∣cause the understanding and true sense of them de∣pends very often upon what goes before, and what follows after. Now the Propositions which M. Cor∣net hath made and set afoot in that Assembly of the first of July, are loose and of uncertain sense, neither the places nor authors from whence they might be drawn being signify'd by him. Since that Assembly of the first of July, nothing more hath been said concerning those Propositions; for that of August was spent in a contest arising touching a pretension of the Chancellor of the University. In this of the first of September, the Faculty hath like∣wise spoken nothing more thereof. But for all this there is publish'd this moneth a Censure under the name of pretended Deputies, who have no power so to do; it not appertaining to any but to the Fa∣culty in a formal and legal assembly. Wherefore, may it please you, we desire that that pretended Censure be declar'd of no value and authority, as indeed it is not.

M. de Mincé having ended, and the President turned his head to M. Cornet, who said, That where∣as they disown the Censure, they mean that they disown it indeed as to the publication, but not as to the doctrine. And as to what M. de Mincé had said, namely, that it is not the custom of the Facul∣ty to censure Propositions without first examining the places of Authors whence they are taken, (he said) it was much otherwise: That the Registers of the Faculty were full of Censures which had been so made, upon bare Propositions, without noting the Authors whose they were. Particularly, that this was practis'd during the space of twenty years, from the year 1540. to the year 1560. which was the time when Luther and Calvin began to appear and publish their errors: That even the last year, the censuring of a book being spoken of in the Fa∣culty, they had forborn to touch the Author to this hour, but order'd, that Particular persons who plea∣sed to propound Propositions after two moneths time, should have liberty so to do.

Hereunto it was reply'd by M. de Mincé, that

that which was said by M. Cornet was not true; that the example of the foregoing year which he brought made against him; the case thereof being thus; A Libel had been publish'd the year before under the name of F. Veron, in which many things were judg'd by the whole Faculty evidently mischievous; besides many invectives and injuries against the memory and reputation of M. the Abbot of Cyran, and the two MM. Arnauls: hereupon some persons inti∣mating in the Faculty that there were things in that Libel which had relation to, and connexion with the matters concern'd in the Propositions in question, the Faculty ordain'd that the Censure of the said Book should be deferr'd, for fear mens minds should become heated and divided upon occasion of the said matters which were touch'd upon transiently and by reflexion in that Libel. All which shews with how little reason M. Cornet hath brought that example, and what wrong he hath done by causlesly violating so prudent and necessary a resolution as the Faculty had made for four or five years, not to determine or decide any thing touching those matters on one side or other.

At this time M. Hennequin came and was intro∣duc'd into the Chamber, and as he advanc'd towards the side of the Table where MM. Pereyret and Cor∣net were, Mr. Cornet went a step or two to meet him, as if he meant to tell him somthing in his ear, before he came to the place of speaking. Which M. Henne∣quin perceiving, put his hand before his breast and face to stop him, and signifie to the Judges, that he meant not to speak any thing that M. Cornet purpo∣sed to suggest to him. The President said to him, We have caus'd you to come hither, that we may be inform'd by you concerning a Censure of cer∣tain Propositions, which runs under your name; and here are some of your brethren (pointing at M. de Mincé and me) who have complain'd to the Court thereof.

M. Hennequin answer'd, That he would speak the truth sincerely, as he had alwayes made profes∣sion and was bound in conscience to do. He said, that indeed having been put amongst the Deputies nominated in the Assembly of the first of July for examining those Propositions, he accordingly had divers times met together with them in the house of the Scribe of the Faculty; and that they had noted the places of Scripture and of the Fathers which to them seem'd contrary to the said Propositions, with purpose to make report, and leave the judgement of the same to the Faculty, as to whom it appertaineth, and not to themselves; but as to the having deter∣min'd the Propositions, or sign'd or decreed any Censure, that this they had not done. That in the mean time he had been astonish'd, when being at Troies, whither he lately took a journey, he saw divers Copies of a Censure brought from seve∣ral parts; That likewise on the other side he had seen books written in defence of the said Proposi∣tions; That all this was not well, and that it must be acknowledg'd that there was on either side a little too much heat.

The President said, that it behooved all of us to labour to moderate the same, and that the Court would on their part contribute their utmost there∣unto; and thus he seem'd to put an end to this hea∣ring, and to dismisse us. Which I seeing, and con∣ceiving that the things which might be spoken for the obtaining of the Arrest we aim'd at, had not been sufficiently unfolded, I began to speak, and told the Court that M. de Mincé had been often absent from Paris during all that pass'd in this af∣fair, and so could not represent to the Court many important circumstances thereof which came not to his knowledge; but that with their permission, I should resume the matter from the beginning, and lay open to the Court the whole Series thereof, if they would vouchsafe me one quarter of an hours audience. The Court with great gentlenesse gran∣ted it, and I made an exact relation of all that had pass'd from the first of July till that time. I added to the things which I have spoken above thereof, that the number of Religious Mendicants which came to that Assembly, beyond what is appointed by the Arrests of Parliament, render'd their Depu∣tation invalid; and hereof I took M. Hennequin to witnesse, who acknowledg'd the same. I also made the Court acquainted how the first President had interpos'd to reconcile us, and how his interpositi∣on prov'd ineffectual for preserving us in peace with our Adversaries, because they violated the word which they hah pass'd to him, and he had given to us in their behalf. I reported the answer which M. Amiot made in the Assembly of the first of Septem∣ber, when he was blam'd for that the Supplicate made then by him was contrary to the word which they had given to the first President, not to do any thing more concerning this affair; Namely, how he said, That it was true they had promis'd the first President to do nothing, but that they had not promis'd to to speak nothing: and I ask'd the Court hereupon, whether the actions that passe amongst us can consist in any thing else but words, and what inducement there could be to rely upon those of people who thus interpreted their own! I concluded, that, to bring us to peace and quiet, it was necessary that the Court would please to bind us thereunto by an Arrest; and that with lesse then this, what ever promises these Gentlemen might make, after the experiences we had had of their carriage all full of disguises and artifices, we could never be secure thereof, but should alwayes be in continual inquie∣tudes and agitations.

The President said to me, How? If these Gen∣tlemen promise you faithfully in presence of this Court, that they will think no more of what is past, and that they will do nothing more for the future; Do you fear that they will fail therein?

I answer'd, May it please you; Should M. Henne∣quin passe such a promise to you, and did the per∣formance thereof depend upon him, we should hold our selves secure, because he is a man of inte∣grity and sincere; But we have not the same conceipt of these Gentlemen, we cannot confide in them.

The President addressing himself to M. Cornet, as'kd him, Whether he would endeavour to con∣tent us, and promise the Court faithfully to re∣main in quiet touching this affair?

M. Cornet answer'd in these very words, Sir, We Promise to make good all that we Pro∣mis'd the First President.

M. le Coigneux reply'd to him also in these very words, Ha, Gentlemen, speak plain French, those loose words and General Promises are not Discourses to be held in this Company: The Sorbonne hath not the Repute of using Equivocations.

The involv'd and ambiguous answer of these Doctors, who clearly convinc'd the Court of the necessity of the Arrest which I mov'd for, gave me

the boldnesse to resume and continue my Dis∣course, by beseeching the Court to remember the Arrest which it was mov'd to issue against a Decree that came from the Inquisition of Rome, concerning a Book which prov'd the equality of authority in S. Peter and S. Paul. I shew'd that that Decree was obtain'd in this manner. The Nuntio sent to the Faculty a Roman Gazette, which related that there were Doctors of it there who maintain'd, That there might be more Heads in the Church; desiring the Faculty to tell him, whether this were true. Upon this proposal M. Pereyret was deputed to go to the Nuntio, and tell him that it was not. The Nun∣tio demanded of M. Pereyret his answer in writing, who gave him such a one as himself pleas'd, with∣out consulting the Faculty about it. This writing of M. Pereyret was at Rome made to passe for a Dis∣avowing of the Faculty against the Book concern∣ing the authority of S. Peter and St. Paul; and this pretended Disavowing drew after it that Decree of the Inquisition, which they durst not have made at Rome before, and against which the Court became oblig'd to issue the Arrest which interven'd. Now, I said, it was not to be doubted, but that they would make the same use of this pretended Censure, which they disown'd not but only as to the publication, and not as to the doctrine, because they could have wisht that it had been secret, to the end it might haue been taken for valid at Rome as an authentick act, and by which they might have extorted again a Decree, which would serve only to trouble and torment us, and which would again oblige the Court to provide against it, as it did in that other occasion.

M. Pereyret cry'd out hereupon in these very words; That all which I said was as false as the Devil,

I reply'd to M. Pereyret, and protested to the Court, That I said nothing but what was most true; That if the Court pleas'd to assign two of the Gen∣tlemen on the bench to inquire thereof, in case any falsitie were found in what I had utter'd, I would submit to all the penalties which Calumniators de∣serve: But that M. Pereyret ventur'd so boldly to say it was false, for that he fear'd the Arrest for which I made sute to the Court, by reason it would be an authentick piece, and destroy the effect which they promis'd themselves from their pretended Cen∣sure, and shew the nullity thereof.

The President here interpos'd, and said that it would be much better that we agreed amongst our selves of our own accord, without the granting of that Arrest, or issuing out any thing in writing: That warr was kindled both without and within the Realm; that we had suffer'd famine; that there were still other scourges which threatned us; that it was a thing of ill relish to see Division amongst the Doctors; that the Court treated us with ho∣nour, acting with us, in this manner, inviting us to be reconcil'd together charitably, and being willing to be contented with our Words; that after this, we ought to agree and live in peace.

I reply'd to the President, That we much acknow∣ledg'd the honour and charity which the Court was pleas'd to shew us, and that if on our part we could not accept it, it was long of the temper of the ad∣versaries we had to do with, which allow'd us not to account our selves in security from them without the Arrest, which we most humbly besee∣ched the Court to grant us.

The President answer'd nothing more, but that the Court would do us justice. As we were de∣parting from the barre to withdraw, M. Pereyret looking fixedly upon me, ask'd me with a very cholerick and high tone, Will you bind the Popes hands? Whereupon I approach'd back again to∣wards the barrre, to desire the Court to take notice how by this word which proceeded from the abun∣dance of his heart, he verified that which I had bla∣med him for, and which he had said was so false; but some of the Gentlemen signify'd to me with the hand, that I had spoken enough thereof. So I ad∣ded no more with my tongue, but pointed at the place where M. Pereyret, who was now gone from it, ask'd me that question; and all the Gentlemen had, as I imagine, without my so doing, sufficiently taken notice of the same. As we were withdraw∣ing, I went close to M. Pereyret, and answer'd him very softly between him and me to the question which he had put to me, and told him, My design was not to bind the Pope's hands, but to hinder them, if I could, from surprising him.

When we were withdrawn, the Court consulted upon our Petitions, and upon what they had heard in this private audience; I call it private, because there was none there besides themselves and us. Take here the Arrest which interven'd

Nicolas Cornet Do∣ctor and Syndic of the said Faculty, to debate and condemn the Propositions, the said Cornet having to that end caus'd many Doctors, Religious and Se∣cular, to come into the said Assembly, whom the said Syndic and his adherents had purposely convok'd from several houses, intending by their number to represent the said Faculty. And that notwithstanding the op∣position of the said Saint-Amour, the said Cornet and his adherents pass'd on to the said debate, and like∣wise deputed some amongst them to prepare the determi∣nation and condemnation of the said Propositions, and by the said Deputation made and drew up an Act which they attempt to make passe for a Conclusion of the said Faculty; That of such Opposition the said Saint-Amour took an Act before Notaries on the XXXI. day of July last, and persisting in the said Opposition, made an Appeal against the Abusivenesse of all that hath been done and pass'd, as well in the said Assembly of the first of July; as in other private ones; and also he made Defendants in their own ordinary names as well the said M. Nicholas Cornet, who propos'd and requir'd to be debated the said Propositions, as M. John Mulot Doctor and Dean of the said Faculty, who put the same under debate; with protestation of the said Saint-Amour to seek redresse in the said Court, to which alone ap∣pertaineth the cognisance and jurisdiction of the said Appeal against Abuses: which Act of Appeal was signifi'd to the said Mulot and Cornet, and to M. Maugin Tassin Junior Bedle, performing the office of Scribe, by Casault Ʋsher of this Court, on the second day of August: and that neverthelesse the said MM. John Mulot Dean, and Nicholas Cornet Syndic, with their Adherents, have not forborn to use all their power to cause the said Propositions to be debated and con∣demned in the ordinary Assembly of the said second day of August; which would have been of very dangerous consequence, and have brought all the said Faculty into great trouble, if the greatest part of the Doctors thereof had not for preservation of the peace and honour of their Body, by a better conduct hinder'd the said debate: And for that the said MM. John Mulot, Nicholas Cornet, and their Adherents, may yet hereafter conti∣nue in the same attempts, and by that means bring the Faculty of Divinity into division, notwithstanding the said Appeal against Abuses, if the same be not provi∣ded against; the said Petitioners, to whom the said Tassin performing the office of Scribe did in the said Assembly declare the notice given to himself of the said Act of Appeal, having had communication together thereon, determin'd for the redressing such disorders as these attempts might cause, to joyn with the said Saint-Amour, and becoming joyntly with him Appellants to this Court, to set forth in time and place the causes and grounds of the said Appeal against Abuses, to the end to be redressed of all by the said Court. For these rea∣sons they desir'd to be admitted Opposers with the said Saint-Amour, and Appellants against the abusivenesse of the said pretended Proposal and Conclusion of the first of July last, and of all that follow'd thereupon; to have the said Appeal allow'd for good, and to be permitted to cause the said Cornet and Mulot to be cited and sum∣moned into the Court by their proper and ordinary names, and all others whom it should concern; to the end procee∣dings might be had upon the said Opposition and Appeal against Abuses, and that the Court would order par∣ties to come and plead by such a day as it should please the said Court to assign; prohibitions in the mean time to be made of reading again and registring the said pre∣tended Conclusion of the first of July, or any other Act made by the said pretended Deputies and their adherents, as also of proceeding further, till the said Court should determine therein. Moreover, whereas another Peti∣tion hath been presented by the said Petitioners for the further urging of the former; and that the said MM. Cornet and Pereyret, under whose names a pretended Censure was sent abroad, might be constrain'd to ac∣knowledge, own or disown the said pretended Censure. Also the Acts and Papers annex'd to the said Peti∣tions, and the conclusions of the Kings Attorney Ge∣neral having been seen and weigh'd; And for that the said Cornet and Pereyret, de Mincé and Saint-Amour, and M. James Hennequin an ancient Doctor of Sor∣bonne have been summon'd and heard, and the said Pe∣reyret and Cornet have declar'd that they did not pub∣lish that writing or draught of a Censure made by some particular Doctors commission'd for examining the Pro∣positions therein contain'd, neither give charge to the Scribe of the said Faculty or any other to deliver out any act or copy thereof, but expresly forbid him to com∣municat, publish or divulge the same, disowning the publication thereof, if any hath been made; and also have profess'd that the said Writing was not signed by any of them three, nor by the other Doctors appointed for examining the said Propositions; and that in the said draught deliver'd to the said Scribe, the said Proposi∣tions were not so determin'd as they are in the Copy an∣nex'd to the Petition, but only the passages of Scripture and Fathers, which the said appointed Doctors esteem'd contrary to the said Propositions, were cited by them; all with an intention to make report thereof to the said Fa∣culty assembled; Also whereas they have consented, that all things remain as they are, and give their word to do nothing in this matter directly or indirectly till the Court shall have given order therein: All this being consider'd, the said Chamber hath admitted and doth admit the said Petitioners Opposers and Appellants, hath held and doth hold the said Appeal valid, Ordain∣eth upon the whole, that the Parties shall have a hea∣ring the first day after the Feast of S. Martin. In the mean time, besides the aforesaid Declaration, It hath made and doth make prohibitions and injunctions to the said Parties respectively both on the one side and the

other, as well to publish the said writing and draught of Censure, as to agitate and bring into question the Propositions contained therein, also write or publish anything concerning them directly or indirectly in any sort or manner whatsoever, till it shall be by the Court otherwise determin'd therein.
