Reformed Religion, for their enjoyment of the Priviledg and Benefit of our Edicts: and we persuade our self that you will, by your after-Deportments, render yourselves worthy of our Grace and Favor. And as for what concerns the Cahier of your Complaints and Remonstrances, which was presented to us, and your Election of Deputies to reside at Court, and attend upon us in our Progress, as soon as your Synod shall be dissolved, we shall, as hath been ever practiced by us, consider of the most favorable Answer that may be given you. In the mean while, 'tis your Interest to break up as soon as possible, lest your longer sitting in our Town of Alanson should be imputed to you as a failure of your Duty to us, and a Transgression of our Edicts and Declarations. We shall not detain you any longer, but leave you to the Lord of St. Mars, our Commissioner deputed by us unto your Assembly, from whom you may understand what is our Intendment and Pleasure.

Given at Fontainbleau, this 24th Day of June, 1637.

And superscribed above, For our dear and well-beloved the Deputies of our Subjects of the pr. Reformed Religion, assembled, by our Permission, in our City of Alanson.

11. A Copy of the Synod's third Letter unto the King.

SIRE,

FOrasmuch as your Majesty hath condescended, both by your Letters with which we are honored, and by the Mouth of our Deputies, to assure us of your Majesty's gracious and sincere Intentions to maintain those Edicts, by favor of which we subsist and live in this your Kingdom, and that you have vouchsafed us your Royal Word, that you will speedily consider the Cahier of our Complaints and Remonstrances, and grant us a favorable Answer, as also to gratify us with a Sum of Money for defraying our Synodical Charges; we believed, Sire, that our Boldness in presenting ourselves once more before your Majesty, would not be unacceptable, because we design, in all Humility, by the Mouth of the Sieurs de l'Angle and Gigord, whom we have for this very purpose sent unto your Court, to testify the profound Resentments we have have of your Majesty s Goodness. And we have also given them in charge, Sire, to report unto your Majestly the promptitude of our Obedience unto your Commands, in quitting this Place, and by our Deputies near your Majesty, to solicit and petition for the Fruits of your Justice, Clemency and Royal Bounty: And we presume to request your Majesty to grant them a gracious Audience, and to issue out your Royal Commandment, that those comfortable Effects we have so justly hoped from the inviolable Firmness of your Sacred Word, may be as favourably and suddenly as is possible, expedited into your Provinces: And we shall continue our devoutest and most ardent Prayers unto the Divine Majesty for your Majesty's Health and Prosperity, and that it may please God, Sire, to crown your Armies with Victory, to replenish your House and State with Blessings, and • o enrich you with this Grace, that you may always live the Father of your People, and Terror of your Enemies, the Arbiter of Christendom, the Love, Favorite and Darling of the whole World. These, Sire, are our continual Vows, our most fervent Prayers unto the Throne of Grace for your Majesty: Nor have we in this Life any other or greater Desire and Duty, than to be always,

From your City of Alanson, July 9. 1637.

SIRE,

Your Majesty's most humble, and most obedient, and most faithful Subjects and Servants, The Ministers and Elders assembled by your Permission in a National Synod in your City of Alanson, and in the Name of them all,

Basnage, Moderator of the Synod.
D. Coupe, Assessor.
D. Blondel, Scribe.
De Launay, Scribe.

Article 12.
The Determination and Decision of that Affair concerning the Doctrine and Writings of the Sieurs Amyraud and Testard, Pastors, and Professor of Divinity in the University of Saumur.
The Sieurs Testard Pastor of the Church of Blois, and Amyraud Pastor and Professor of Theology in the Church and University of Saumur, came in Person unto this Synod, and declared, That they understood from common Fame, how that both at home and abroad, and by the Consutations and Proceedings of sundry Provinces, as also from divers Books written against them and their printed Labors, they were blamed for that Doctrine which they had published to the World; that therefore at the first opening of the Synod they presented themselves before it, not knowing but that their Cause might be debated whenas the Confession of Faith came to be read, and that they appeared to give an account of it, and such Explanations of their Doctrine, as the most Reverend Synod should judge needful; and to submit themselves unto its Judgment, and consequently to demand its Protection for the support of their Innocence, hoping that this Favor would not be denied them; because they were fully persuaded in their Consciences, that they had never taught, either by Word or Writing, any Doctrine repugnant to the Word of God, to our Confession of Faith, Catechism, Liturgy, or Canons of the National Synods of Alez and Charenton, which had ratified those of Dort, and which they had signed with their Hands, and were ready, to seal even with their Heart-Blood.
Article 13.
And the Sieur de la Place, Pastor and Professor in the Church and University of Saumur, reported also from the said University, That he was charged by it to render an account of the Grounds and Reasons which induced him to approve and license the Works and Writings of Monsieur Am •• and, which he did, according to the Priviledg granted by the Discipline unto our Universities. Moreover, the Sieur Ouzan, Elder in the said Church of Saumur, being admitted into the Synod, declared, that the said Church understanding that Monsieur Amyraud, one of its Pastors, was brought into trouble for his Doctrine, though both by it, and and his most exemplary and godly Conversation, they had been always exceedingly edified, had given him an express Charge to testify unto it before this grave Assembly, and most humbly to commend unto their Reverences the Innocency and Honor of his Ministry.
Article 14.
There were also tendered unto the Lord Commissioner the Letters, but not opened, which were sent unto the Synod from the Churches and Universities of Geneva and Leyden, and from the Sieurs du Moulin Pastor and Professor in Theology at Sedan, and Rivet Pastor and Professor at Leyden, together with the Treatises composed by them, and the collationed Copies of the Approbations given by the Doctors in the Faculty of Theology at Leyden, Franequer and Groningen, unto the Treatise of the said Professor Rivet: Which Letters being opened by the Lord Commissioner, and their Contents perused by him, he allowed the reading of them unto the Assembly. The Assembly did likewise read the Letters writ by Monsieur Vignier Pastor in the Church of Blois, and by Monsieur le Faucheur Pastor in the Church of Paris, in which they offer their Sentiments for reconciling the Controversies arisen about the Writings of the said Testard and Amyraud, and their Opponents.
Article 15.
Moreover, the Apologetical Letters of the Sieurs Vignier and Garnier, Pastors of the Churches of Blois and Marchenoir, were read, who informed the Synod, that by virtue of a Commission given them by the Province of Berry to examine the Theological Writings which might be composed either by the Pastors or others of their Province, they had given their Attestation and Approbation to the Book of the said Monsieur Testard, and had given an account of this their Judgment unto the Provincial Synod assembled in the Year 1634; and the Extracts of those their Writings were produced.
Article 16.
Those Papers having been all read, and the aforesaid Sieurs Testard and Amyraud having been divers times heard, and the Assembly having in a very long Debate considered the Difficulties of those Questions raised by them, did constitute the Sieurs Commarc Pastor id the Church of Vertueil, Charles Pastor in the Church of Montauban, de L'angle Pastor in the Church of Roan, Petit Pastor and Professor in the Church and University of Nismes, le Blanc Pastor and Professor in the University of Die, de Bons Pastor in the Church of Chaalons upon Saone, and Daille Pastor in the Church of Paris, a Committee to digest and reduce into Order the Explications which had been given, or might hereafter be given by the before-mentioned Testard and Amyraud, and that they should accordingly as soon as it was finished bring in their Report.
Article 17.
And the said Committee having discharged their Trust, and made their Report unto the Synod, the before-mentioned Mr. Testard and Amyraud were again introduced, and did with the deepest Seriousness protest before God, that it was never in their Thoughts to propound or teach any Doctrine whatever, but what was agreeable to the known and common Expositions of our Creed, and contained in our Confession of Faith, and in the Decisions of the National Synod held at Charenton, in the Year 1623; all which they were ready to sign with their best Blood.
Article 18.
And pursuant hereunto, explaining their Opinions about the Universality of Christ's Death, they declared, That Jesus Christ died for all Men sufficiently, but for the Elect only effectually: and that consequentially his Intention was to die for all Men in respect of the Sufficien • y of his Satisfaction, but for the Elect only in respect of its quickening and Saving Virtue and Efficacy; which is to say, that Christ's Will was that the Sacrifice of his Cross should be of an infinite Price and Value, and most abundantly sufficient to expiate the Sins of the whole World; yet nevertheless the Efficacy of his Death appertains only unto the Elect; so that those who are called by the Preaching of the Gospel, to participate by Faith in the Effects and Fruits of his Death, being invited seriously, and God vouchsafing them all external Means needful for their coming to him, and showing them in good earnest, and with the greatest Sincerity by his Word, what would be well-pleasing to him, if they should not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but perish in their Obstinacy and Unbelief; this cometh not from any Defect of Virtue or Sufficiency in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, nor yet for want of Summons or serious Invitations unto Faith or Repentance, but only from their own Fault. And as for those who do receive the Doctrine of the Gospel with the Obedience of Faith, they are according to the irrevocable Promise of God, made Partakers of the effectual Virtue and Fruit of Christ Jesus's Death; for this was the most free Counsel and gracious Purpose both of God the Father, in giving his Son for the Salvation of Mankind, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, in suffering the Pains of Death, that the Efficacy thereof should particularly belong unto all the Elect, and to them only, to give them justifying Faith, and by it to bring them infallibly unto Salvation, and thus effectually to redeem all those and none other, who were from all Eternity from among all People, Nations and Tongues, chosen unto Salvation. Whereupon, although the Assembly were well satisfied, yet nevertheless they decreed, that for the future, that Phráse of Jesus Christ's dying equally for all, should be forborne, because that term equally was formerly, and might be so again, an Occasion of stumbling unto many.
Article 19.
And as for the Conditional Decree, of which mention is made in the aforesaid Treatise of Predestination, the said Sieurs Testard and Amyraud declared, that they do not, nor ever did understand any other thing, than God's Will revealed in his Word, to give Grace and Life unto Believers; and that they called this in none other Sense a Conditional Will than that of an Anthropopeia, because God promiseth not the Effects thereof, but upon condition of Faith and Repentance. And they added farther, That although the Propositions resulting from the Manifestation of this will be conditional, and conceived under an if, or it may be; as, if thou believest thou shalt be saved; if Man repent of his Sins, they shall be forgiven him; yet nevertheless this doth not suppose in God an Ignorance of the Event, not an Impotency as to the Execution, nor any Inconstancy as to his Will, which is always firmly accomplished, and ever unchangeable in itself, according to the Nature of God, in which there is no Variableness nor Shadow of turning.
Article 20.
And the said Sieur Amyraud did particularly protest, as he had formerly published unto the World, that he never gave the Name of Universal or Conditional Predestination unto this Will of God than by way of Concession, and accommodating it unto the Language of the Adversary: Yet forasmuch as many are offended at this Expression of his, he offered freely to raze it out of those places, where-ever it did occur, promising also to abstain in from it for the future: and both he and the Sieur Testard acknowledged, that to speak truly and accurately according to the Usage of sacred Scripture, there is none other Decree of Predestination of Men unto eternal Life and Salvation, than the unchangeable Purpose of God, by which according to the most free and good Pleasure of his Will, he hath out of mere Grate chosen in Jesus Christ, unto Salvation before the Foundation of the World, a certain number of Men in themselves neither better nor more worthy than others, and that he hath decreed to give them unto Jesus Christ to be saved, and that he would call and draw them effectually to Communion with him by his Word and Spirit. And they did, in consequence of this Holy Doctrine, reject their Error, who held that Faith, and the Obedience of Faith, Holiness, Godliness and Perseverance, are not the Fruits and Effects of this unchangeable Decree unto Glory, but Conditions or Causes, without which Election could not be passed; which Conditions or Causes are antecedently requisite, and foreseen as if they were already accomplished in those who were fit to be elected, contrary to what is taught us by the sacred Scripture, Acts 13. 48. and elsewhere.
Article 21.
And whereas they have made distinct Decrees in this Counsel of God, the first of which is to save all Men though Jesus Christ, if they shall believe in him; the second to give Faith unto some particular Persons: they declared, that they did this upon none other account, than of accommodating it unto that Manner and Order which the Spirit of Man observeth in his Reasonings for the Succor of his own Infirmity; they otherwise believing, that though they considered this Decree as diverse, yet it was formed in God in one and the self-same Moment, without any Succession of Thought, or Order of Priority and Posteriority. The Will of this most supreme and incomprehensible Lord, being but one only eternal Act in him; so that could we but conceive of things as they be in him from all Eternity, we should comprehend these Decrees of God by one only Act of our Understanding, as in Truth they be but one only Act of his eternal and unchangeable Will.
Article 22.
The Synod having heard these Declarations from the Sieurs Testard and Amyraud, it enjoined them and all others to refrain from those terms of conditional, frustratory, or revocable Decree; and that they should rather choose the Word Will, whereby to express that Sentiment of theirs, and by which they would signify the revealed Will of God, commonly called by Divines Voluntas Sign.
Article 23.
And whereas in sundry Places marked in the Writings of the beforementioned Monsieur Testard and Amyraud, they have ascribed unto God, as it were, a Notion of Velleity, and strong Affections, and vehement Desires of Things which he hath not, hot never will effectuate; they having declared, that by those figurative Ways of speaking, and anthropopathical, they designed, to speak properly, none other thing than this, that if Men were obedient to the Commandments and Invitations of God, their Faith and Obedience would be most acceptable unto him, according as was before expressed by them. The Assembly hearing this their Explication, did injoin them to use such Expressions as these, with that Sobriety and Prudence, that they might not give the least Occasion of Offence unto any Person, nor cause them to conceive of God in any way, unsuitable to his glorious Nature.
Article 24.
Monsieur Testard and Amyraud declared farther, that although the Doctrines obvious to us in the Works of Creation and Providence, do teach and preach Repentance, and invite us to seek the Lord, who would be found of us; yet nevertheless, by reason of the horrible Blindness of our Nature, and its universal Corruption, no Man was ever this way converted; yea, and it is utterly impossible that any one should be converted but by the hearing of the Word of God, which is the Seed of our Regeneration, and the Instrument of the Holy Ghost, whole Efficacy and Virtue only is able to illuminate our Understandings, and to change the Hearts and Affections of the Children of Men.
Article 25.
And forasmuch as the Word of God hath always revealed the Knowledge of the Lord our Redeemer, the said Sieurs did farther protest, that no one Man was ever, nor can be saved, without some certain Measure of this Knowledge, less indeed under the Old Testament, but greater under the New, the Death and Resurrection of the Son of God being most plainly and distinctly manifested in the Gospel; and they hold it as an undoubted Truth, that now under the New Covenant, the distinct Knowledge of Christ is absolutely necessary for all Persons who are come unto Years of Discretion in order to their obtaining of eternal Salvation: And they do from their very Heart anathematize all those who believe or teach that Man may be saved any other way than by the Merit of our Lord Jesus Christ, or in any other Religion besides the Christian.
Article 26.
And whereas divers Persons were much offended at the Professor Amyraud for calling that Knowledge of God, which Men might gain from the Consideration of his Works and Providence (unless their Corruption were extreme) by the Name of Faith: The said Professor declared, that he did it, because he reckoned that that Perswasion which some have, that there is a God, and that he is a Rewarder, may bear that Name; he owning however that St. Paul did simply and plainly style it the Knowledge of God, 1 Cor. 1.21. The Assembly enjoined him not to give the Name of Faith to any other Knowledge of God, but unto that which is engendered in us by the Holy Ghost, and by the Preaching of his Word, according as the Scripture useth it, whether thereby to point out unto us the Faith of God's ancient Saints, or this which is now under the New Testament, and necessarily accompanied with a distinct Knowledge of Christ.
Article 27.
And as for Man's natural Impotency, either to believe, or to desire and do the things that belong unto Salvation; both the said Sieurs Amyraud and Testard protested, that Man had none other Power than that of the Holy Spirit of God, which is only able to heal him, by an interior illuminating of his Understanding, and bending of his Will by that gracious, invincible and uneffable Operation, which he only exerts upon the Hearts of those Vessels of Grace which are elect of God.
Article 28.
They did farther declare, that this Impotency was in us from our Birth, for which Cause it may be called natural; and they have called it physical or natural, nor ever did refuse so doing, unless when they would signify that it is voluntary, and conjoined with Malice and Obstinacy; whenas Man despiseth and rejecteth the Invitations of God, which he would receive and embrace, provided his Heart were well and fittingly disposed within itself.
Article 29.
And Monsieur Testard added particularly, that this doth not in the least derogate from what he had asserted concerning two Callings, the one real, and the other verbal, given by God unto Men, whereby they may be saved if they will, since that he intended thereby to signify nothing else, but that their Impotency to convert themselves was not of the same kind with that of a Man, who having lost his Eyes or Legs, was willing with all his Heart to see and walk, but that this Impotency sprung from the Malice of the Heart itself. The Assembly having heard him thus express himself, enjoined him to abstain from these terms, and not to use them unless with very much Prudence and Discretion, and to join with them such needful Glosses and Explications, as thereby it may appear, that Man is so depraved by Nature, that he cannot of himself will any Good without the special Grace of God, which may produce in us by his Holy Spirit both to will and to do according to his good Pleasure.
Article 30.
And those afore-mentioned Minister and Professor, Testard and Amyraud, having acquiesced in all, as above declared, and having sworn and subscribed to it, the Assembly gave them the right Hand of Fellowship by the Hand of their Moderator, and they were honourably dismissed to the Exercise of their respective Charges.

The Continuation of other General and Ecclesiastical Matters.

Article 31.
FOrasmuch as the far greater Part of the Provinces have not took any Order about the Expences of their Deputies sent unto this Synod, the Assembly desirous to provide for their Indemnity without Prejudice to that Vantage-Assessment they might lay claim unto, or which had been granted to them, did pass this Decree, That their respective Provinces should pay them after the Rate of an hundred Sous, being eight Shillings and four Pence Sterling Money a day, and they shall be accountable to them for those Portions accruing from the Sum granted by his Majesty towards the defraying of our Synodical Expences.
Article 32.
Henceforward, whenas a Professor's Place in Theology, in any one of our Universities, comes by his Death to be vacant, that it may not be any long time void, and that the University-Councils may have fit Persons ready at hand, whom they may choose and call in to supply the Office of the Deceased; this Synod desirous to repair so great a Loss, exhorteth the Lord's of Chamvernon, de L'angle, Texier, du Soul, Daille, Bochart of Caen, to separate themselves unto the Profession of Theology, that they may take it upon them, whenever the Necessities of our Universities shall require it.
Article 33.
Forasmuch as particular Actions cannot be truly and impartially judged but from a due Consideration had of all their Circumstances; this Assembly not being able to enact a Canon concerning Persons accused of Bankerouting, doth leave the whole Affair to the Prudence of Consistories, how and in what manner to proceed against them as they shall see to be most expedient.
Article 34.
The Province of Lower Guyenne having requested it, the Assembly declareth, that the appointing of public Fasts, and of all other Deliberations relating to the Discipline of our Churches, and the upholding of their Order, ought to be determined in Ecclesiastical Meetings by the Plurality of Pastors and Elders Suffrages, without any preferring of one above another.
Article 35.
Over and above those Attestations which Scholars are wont to bring with them from the Professors and Regents of those Universities under whose Direction they have followed their Studies, the Synod doth ordain, that they shall also take out Attestations from the Pastors and Consistory of their Lives and Conversations.
Article 36.
Forasmuch as the Church judgeth not them that are without, and doth not exercise any Jurisdiction on those who have quitted her Communion: This Assembly judgeth it not meet that those Persons should be publicly from the Pulpit censured, who that they might marry with Parties of a contrary Religion, have abandoned the true Religion which they formerly professed.
Article 37.
Without prejudicing the Rights of the Province of Provence and Burgundy, this Assembly grants the Power of calling the next National Synod unto that of Anjou.

CHAP. XVI. Particular Matters.

1. THE Sieur de la Fite Solon, Pastor of the Church of Bayon, having presented the first part of a Book of Metaphysics composed by him, and dedicated unto this Assembly, after they were examined about it, who had been commissionated thereunto by the Synod of Lower Guyenne, this Assembly ordered, that it should be again perused by some of its Members, who having made their Report, the said Sieur de la Fite was praised and encouraged to employ those Gifts wherewith God had endowed him, for the Illustration of the Truth: and the Sum of three hundred Livers was voted to be given him, which the Lord du Candall should pay him upon his Debet, and the Monies so paid should be charged to the Account of the Churches.

2. Monsieur Maeil, Elder in the Church of Dieppe, being chosen by the common Votes of the Pastors, Elders and Heads of Families there, and sent unto the Deputies of the Province of Normandy, to move and entreat them to request that Mr. Texier, who was freed from the Church of Mauvesin in the Province of Higher Languedoc, might be given to them absolutely, and the said Lord's Deputies having introduced him into the Assembly to make his Demand, in which also they joined with him. After that Mr. Texier had been heard on the one part, declaring, how that for the Ingratitude of his Church he accepted of the Call given him by the Church of Dieppe, upon Condition that his Province should judge it reasonable to set him at Liberty, and with Design to oblige his Church by the Authority of the National Church to give him a full Satisfaction; and on the other part, the Deputies of Higher Languedoc complained that they were not in due time and place acquainted with his Intention, and requesting that the Right of their Province might be entirely secured, it having many Churches to be supplied, which were destitute of Pastors, and particularly the Church of Mauvesin, which had sufficiently assured the said Texier that he should be paid the Arrears of his Wages: The Assembly decreed, that he should apply himself unto his Synod, which is exhorted to see that he be fully satisfied, and in case he be set free from his Church, and that he cannot be commodiously provided for within his Province, that then leave shall be given him to depart where he best liketh.

3. The Assembly conserving to the Province of Berry the Right they have hitherto had over the Church of la Selle, ordaineth, that as long as it shall be supplied by the Pastors of the Isle of France, it shall be under the Jurisdiction of the said Province, which shall continue their Contributions towards the Subsistence of the College of Chastillon.

4. Forasmuch as the Assembly is not now in Possession of any Fund, out of which those who have Recourse unto it, might be relieved by its Charities; Monsieur Falquet, whose Necessities are very great, is recommended unto the Province of Berry, to be assisted and comforted by them, either by allowing him some certain Portion out of their Alms, or by recommending his afflicted Condition to be relieved by the more rich and populous Churches.

5. The Deputies of the Province of Vivaretz relating the extreme Poverty whereunto Monsieur Zuccond, a Pastor emeritus, hath been for several Years last past reduced by reason of his great Sicknesses, Losses, Expences, and Imprisonments, suffered from the Lord of Chanal and la Motte; and that the precedent National Synods had in Consideration of his great Afflictions granted him a free Portion out of the Monies of his Majesty's Liberality, and requested this Assembly that they would be pleased to vouchsafe him some sensible Tokens of their Charity and Compassion: Answer was made them, that forasmuch as the Churches had no Monies at all of their own, nor now to be disposed by them, the said Province was exhorted to take care of him, for his comfortable Subsistence and Relief from among themselves.

6. Whereas the Province of Cévennes had formed a Complaint against Monsieur James Pasquier, Pastor in the Church of St. John de Breuil, this Affair was turned over to the Judgment of the Province of Higher Languedoc.

7. The Deputies of Béarn requesting that the Divisions which have been judged and condemned in the Church of Morlas, maybe totally and effectually remedied, and that there may be an End put unto the Complaints brought in by Monsieur Fabas against his Province, and sundry particular Persons on the one hand, and of divers others against him on the other; that therefore some Deputies may be sent with an express Charge to take Knowledge of, and give a final Judgment on all those Articles which could not possibly be examined, or clearly inspected into in this Place, and at so great a Distance: The Assembly accepting the Offer of the Deputies of the Province of Béarn, promising to bear their Charges who should to this Purpose be sent unto them, did nominate the Sieurs Ferrand and Charles Pastors, and Charron an Elder, to receive the Information drawn up at the Request of Monsieur Rival, by the Lord D'abbadie, the Decrees past in Parliament against the Lord's D'abbadie, Rival, and others, who by Order of their Colloquy had admitted unto Communion at the Lord's Table some particular Persons of Morlas, and generally all Papers whatsoever, which have given Birth and Fuel unto this Fewd and Contention, that so they may proceed to a final Judgment on the remaining Matters yet under Debate and Controversy: And they shall bring in their Account hereof unto the next National Synod.

8. To regulate the Pretensions of the Churches of Alanson, St. Aignan and Mans, about the Donative given for their Benefit by the Lady de la Harangere, and destined to the Maintenance of some poor Scholars; This Assembly ordaineth, that according to the Tenor of the said Legacy, the Administration of the Monies arising from it, ought to be left in the Hands of the Church of Alanson, and those two other Churches shall agree with it about the choice of him to whom the Pension shall be exhibited; and that the first of these three Churches which shall be unprovided, may proceed to receive and employ him; and that the Son of Monsieur Vignier, Pastor of the Church of Mans, who hath already received some Fruits of the aforesaid Pension, shall enjoy it, and be preferred before all others in the Enjoyment of it.

9. Forasmuch as the Sieur de la Milletiere hath sent unto the Pastors deputed by the Provinces, the first Part of a Book written by him, entitled, Les Moyens de la Paix Chrestienne en la Reunion des Catholics & Evangeliques sur les differends de la Religion divise en quatre parties; and the Title of the first Volume, La Refutation de la procedure de Monsieur Daille en son Examen; and Letters also, in which he asserts that he is moved hereunto by the sole Spirit of God for to reconcile the Differences in Religion. He takes for granted that what he hath offered, or may hereafter offer, will be received without any Contradiction by all the Churches, and presupposeth that all our first Reformers and their Successors were abused, and do abuse themselves through a Misunderstanding, which cannot be discovered but by them who shall admit his new conceited Lights. And whereas he hath been too long, even for the space of three Years, tolerated; and that the Church of Paris hath used all Endeavors to reduce him unto his Duty; and that in the Articles contained in his first Script, he hath designedly concealed his Opinions, though under the very Phrases used by the Doctors of the Romish Religion, and with which they are accustomed to express their own Sentiments; and that in the second, which he hath sent abroad into the World, under Pretence of producing Methods of Reconciliation, he hath insinuated divers Novelties, which are of no Concern at all to our present Controversies, and sided with the Church of Rome. And whereas Monsieur Daille, who was expressly ordered to refute him, hath used him with a great deal of Equity, and singular Moderation, for which he is generally approved. And forasmuch as in his third Book he endeavors might and main to overthrow the Orthodox Doctrine of Justification by Faith, betraying the Cause unto the Champions of Merits, and of Justification by Works: The Assembly ordaineth, that Letters shall be written him to acquaint him with the Unreasonableness and Injustice of his Presumption, and the Unprofitableness of his Design, and to threaten him, that unless he do quit and abandon it, and contain himself within the Bounds of his Vocation, and make Declaration of it within six Months unto the Consistory of Paris, he shall be cut off from all Communion with our Reformed Churches.

N. B. The Letter sent him by the Synod bore Date the 6th of July, 1637. but La Millitiere did afterward revolt unto Popery, and died a Papist.

10. After the Lord Commissioner had opened the Letters of Mr. Diodati, Pastor and Professor in Theology at Geneva, the Assembly considering the Contents thereof, and having examined the French Translation of the Books of Ecclesiastes, and of the Song of Songs, which had been notified to them by him, ordered that Letters should be written unto the said Mr. Diodati, and to represent unto him the Reasons why we cannot depart from the Canon of the Synod held at Alez.

11. The Professor Amyraud petitioned the Assembly, that they would be pleased to ordain that the Author of two Books, entitled Antidote, and Les Ombres d' Arminius; in which his Doctrine and Reputation were most odiously traduced, and the Memory of Monsieur Cameron deceased, is wickedly defamed, might be cited before them to answer for his Fact; And Monsieur de la Place, in the Name of the University of Saumur, joined with him in the same Petition. But forasmuch as the Author of the said Book is unknown and absent, these two aforesaid Professors were advised to carry the Proofs they have of this Action unto the Synod of Poitou, which having condemned the Impression of the Antidote, would do them Justice upon their Complaint.

12. Monsieur de Vinay having remonstrated that the Province of Vivaretz had not satisfied nor made Payment of those Monies advanced by the Church of Annonay, for the defraying of his Expences during his Deputation unto the National Synod of Castres, and demanding a Rule and Order for those Charges the said Church should be now necessitated to be at on the same score; Monsieur D'Hosty joined with him in the said Request, on behalf of the Church of St. Fortunate. This Assembly confirming the Decree of the Synod of Tonneins, in the 7th Article of Observations upon the Discipline, ordaineth, That the said Province of Vivaretz should conform itself thereunto, both for the present and what is past.

13. Whereas Monsieur Fabas hath been afflicted with Sickness all the time of his sojourning in this City, the Assembly doth freely give him the Sum of an hundred Livers, to be taken out of the Debet of the Lord du Candall.

14. The Lord du Candall having offered to advance, for defraying the Expences of the Sieurs de l' Angle and Gigord deputed unto the Court, the Sum of three hundred Livers; he is entreated to allow them at the rate of an hundred Sous by the Day during the time of their Abode, which is limited unto one Month or more.

15. There shall be allowed in the Lord of Candall 's Account, the Sum of four hundred and fifty Livers advanced by him unto the Sieurs Ferrand, Gigord and Cerizy, who were first deputed by this Assembly unto his Majesty, for the defraying of their Expences in their Journey and Attendance at Court.

16. In case his Majesty should hereafter grant any Sum of Monies for the maintenance of our Ministers, the Provinces of Lower Guyenne and Béarn shall agree together in the choice of one Scholar, who may be hereafter fit to serve in the Ministry in the Land of La Bour, and shall allow him yearly the Sum of one hundred Livers, and shall pay in unto Monsieur Guillemin the Sum of an hundred and fifty Livers, according to the Decree made by the last National Synod of Charenton.

CHAP. XVII. Of UNIVERSITIES. The Order taken for upholding and Maintenance of our Universities.

Article 1.
WHereas the Universities of Montauban and Saumur have complained, that by reason one of the Provinces hath retrenched part of its Contribution, they have been deprived of that Assistance which was destined unto their Maintenance, and requested that some Course might be took herein by an Order of this Synod, looking forward and backward to what is past and to come. The said Province was heard speak in its own Defense, which urged for itself, that it had been over-rated by the last National Synod of Charenton, in the Year 1631. This Assembly did greatly condemn the aforesaid Province, for attempting to violate the Canons of that Synod, and for giving an evil Example unto others of committing the like Crime, and forbiddeth that and all other Provinces of being guilty for the future of such Offences, on Pain of forfeiting their Priviledg of entering into these National Synods; and ordaineth, that they make good and full Payment of all Arrears due by them unto those before-mentioned Universities.
Article 2.
The Provinces which are indebted unto our Universities, are exhorted to use their best Endeavors to pay in unto them their Arrearages, according to the Rate before made.
Article 3.
The University of Nismes demanding her just Dues, and that the Sum granted her by the last National Synod of Charenton might be actually paid in unto her this very Day, and requesting that the Sum of sixteen hundred and thirty nine Livers, three Sous, paid to her Prejudice by the Synod of Lower Guyenne unto that of Montauban, which applied unto its own particular Profit what belonged unto another. This Assembly generally condemning all such Proceedings, ordaineth, that the Sum of sixteen hundred thirty nine Livers, three Sous, shall be reprised by the said University of Nismes, out of what is owing by the Province of Normandy and others, who should have brought in their Contributions for the Subsistence of the University of Montauban; and the University of Nismes shall receive its full Maintenance, according to the Number of Professors, who have been in actual Service there since the last National Synod of Charenton until now.
Article 4.
Although it be as clear as the Sun at Noon-day, that the Instruction of Youth, and the upholding of Schools in those Places where they have been erected, be absolutely necessary for the Churches Subsistence, the maintaining of Godliness, and the propagating of the Doctrine of eternal Life in it, and that all the Faithful are obliged by that great Concern they should have for God's Glory, the Love of his Truth, and their common Edification, to use their best and utmost Skill and Endeavors to find out the most proper and convenient means for the promoting and furthering a Design so evidently just and profitable; yet nevertheless, forasmuch as divers Persons have been discouraged either through the Difficulties of the Times, or from their inordinate Affections to the World, preferring their own private Interest to the public, and thereby have cooled in their Zeal, and neglected the Execution of the Canons before enacted for this Purpose. Now that this very great and prejudicial Defect may be remedied, and that the Ministry of the Gospel may be perpetuated in the Church of God, and that this most important Trust of Divine Verity may be religiously conserved among us: The National Synod assembled by his Majesty's Permission in the Town of Alanson, doth exhort all the Churches, all Lord's, Gentlemen, and all Persons in particular to prefer the Service of God, the Glory of his Holy Name, and the re-established Order of his House, before all other human Considerations whatsoever, and everyone of them according to their Abilities to consecrate unto his Divine Majesty their Free-Will-Offerings, and to levy among themselves those Charges necessary for the Subsistence of our Universities and Colleges, and to use and exercise therein their Christian Charity and Piety in supporting those which are more feeble: And all Provincial Synods, Colloquies and Consistories be in joined to take among themselves the most proper Expedients for gathering in those Sums assessed upon them respectively and actually in their own Persons to solicit the Payment of them, and to put to their helping Hand, that all Professors and Regents who serve in the said Universities and Colleges, may annually receive their appointed Sallaries, and so discharge the Duties of their Place and Calling with Chearfulness: and this shall be notified unto all the Churches by reading of this present Act.
Article 5.
In the Account of the University of Saumur there was the Sum of one hundred Livers owing by the Province of Saintonge, who shall make actual Payment thereof, unless they can produce an Acquittance.
Article 6.
The Province of Berry having brought in three Accompts of their College rendered by them unto their Provincial Synods assembled the 22d of April, 1632, at Chastillon upon Loir; the 30th of April, 1634, at Mer; and the 26th of May, 1636, at Chastillon aforesaid; and by the close of the Account it appearing that the Sum of four hundred and forty Livers is owing unto the said College: This Assembly injoineth that Province to put carefully in Execution the Canons made in the last National Synod for the Maintenance of our Universities and Colleges, as well for the time past as for what is to come.

CHAP. XX The Accompts of the Lord du Candall.

MR. Cooper, Agent of the Lord du Candall, having brought in his Account, the Assembly nominated Mr. John de Survile Pastor of the Church of Vigan, and Peter Marbaut, Counselor and Secretary for the King, and Elder of the Church of Paris; Claudius Bernard, Bailiff of Chastillon, and Elder of the Church of the said Chastillon on the. Loin; Lawrence de Febur, Advocate and Elder in the Church of Rouen; Gaspard du Beuf, Advocate and Elder in the Church of Grenoble; John Brun, Lord of Roussais, Elder in the Church of St. Ambrose; Daniel Descairae, Lieutenant in the Judicature of Pujols, and Elder of the Church of Gatherde that Town, and Charles Perreau, Advocate, Elder in the Church of Couches, to be a Committee to Inspect and Examine the said Account; which being done by them, they Reported unto the Assembly, That it could not be well Audited as it was now Stated, without a Personal Conference with the said Lord du Candall, because it was not in the ordinary form of Accompts, which used to be tendered unto our National Synods.

The Assembly Discoursing with Mr. Cooper about it, ordered the aforesaid Committee, or any four of them should go unto Paris, and visit the said Lord du Candall, and thank him for that good Affection he hath always born, and expressed by unquestionable proofs unto the Churches, and to entreat him to continue and persevere in it, and that he would be pleased to discharge the Churches of the Sum of 25125 Livres, 12 Sous of the remaining Accompts rendered by him unto his Majesty, on February the third, 1633. and of all Interest for Moneys advanced by him, or at least, that he would be pleased to make some easy and favorable Composition. And in case he shall so do, that then the said Committee shall, by Virtue and Authority of this Assembly, give unto the said Lord du Candall an Acquittance, and discharge him of all those Sums, which he shall make appear to have been paid by him, according to the Account Stated and Expedited in the last National Synod held at Charenton; Afterward they shall proceed to the auditing and finishing of his present Account, and allow all such Sums, as they shall Judge reasonable: And farther they shall treat with him, or with any other Person, that shall offer himself to Deal with them about the Rents, Offices, and other Rights, and Reprisals, belonging unto our Churches, for such a Price, and at such Conditions as they shall Judge meet. And also, if an opporty should present itself, and they conceive it expedient, they shall assist at the clearing of the Account of the said Lord du Candall with the Lord's Commissioners appointed thereunto by His Majesty, or else shall substitute in their stead some other Persons, whom they shall think proper for it upon the place. And they shall demand also of the said Lord of Candall, to deliver unto them all the Offices of the Commissioners for Seisures, which are yet in his hands, that so they may be disposed of to the benefit of the Churches in such a manner as they shall advise on. And this Assembly doth promise to allow and approve of whatsoever shall be done or performed by the said Committee in these aforesaid matters, or by any four of them, for which purpose they give unto them their full Power and Authority; but nevertheless, without allowing them their Expences. And in case they should be obliged to return unto their own homes before they can have dispatched and finished all that is as before entrusted with them, this Assembly doth then Impower and Authorise them to sub-delegate in their place and stead, such Members of the Consistory of the Church of Paris, as they shall conceive best able to Manage the Affair.

Article 3. To the Provinces of Normandy, Lower Languedoc, and Lower Guyenne, the like Sum of Eleven Hundred Forty and Three Livres, Seventeen Sous, out of which there is deducted the Sum of Six Score Livres, received by each of those Deputies, from the Lord of Candall: therefore there is no more due unto each of those Provinces, than One Thousand and Three and Twenty Livres, Seventeen Sous, all which put together, amounts to Three Thousand Threescore and Eleven Livres, Eleven Sous.
Article 4. To the Province of Higher Languedoc for three Deputies, and Sixty Livres ordered to a Fourth, who lay Sick upon the way, Nine Hundred and Seventeen Livres, Sixteen Sous, and Nine Deniers.
