A VVarning peece for London being a true relation of the bloody massacre of the Protestants in Paris, by the papists and cavileers: in which bloody massacre, they murdered many of the chiefe of the noblity [sic], with thousands of men, women and children, which knew nothing till the murtherers brake into their houses, and murdered them, slinging their dead bodies into the open streets and stinking ditches. Wherein you may take notice of the barbarous and bloody religion of the papists, by their many conspiracies and treasons against Queeen Elizabeths own person, and 88. the Gunpowder-plot, and the unheard of cruelty they have and still do use in this their rebellion in Ireland. Which should make all true Protestants to beware of them, notwithstanding their faire pretences or oath.

The Kings Letter to the L. of Gwich, whereby it may plainely be perceived, how they would search out all them of the Religion which had any charge in hand during the troubles.

MY L. of Gwiche, I understand that the 3. brethren Daggonels, and one Porcher the best at the signe of the Adventure, Mossoner, Cr••spine, and Captaine Grise, which were the principall in the faction in Burgundie, and were the cause of the taking and recovering of the City of Mascon in the late troubles, and of all the decay which happened in that Country, be kept prisoners in Mascon. And because I understand they hope to escape o••t by ransome (which I would in no wise should be done) I ordaine and command that you keepe them safe, for as much as I hope by their meanes to discover a great many things which greatly touch the weale of my service. And if there be any other prisoners of the new Religion in Mascon, which have hin facti∣ous, you shall likewise keepe them, so that they escape not by paying ransome for I would not for any thing in the world that there should be taking of ransome among my Subjects. And thus my L. of Gwiche I pray God keepe you in his hol•• tuition.

Written at Paris the 14. of Septem. 1572.
