PROTESTANT EXILES FROM FRANCE IN THE REIGN OF LOUIS XIV. OR, THE HUGUENOT REFUGEES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. THE REV. DAVID C. A. AG NEW. Index-Volume, with Also, Analyses, Introductory Memoirs Alphabetical Tables, OF Refugees AND Notes. IN Former Reigns. LONDON: REEVES & TURNER. EDINBURGH: WILLIAM PATERSON. 1874. v3 PREFACE, In order that the two volumes on " Protestant Exiles from France in the reign of Louis XIV.," may be serviceable to historical and genealogical students, it is necessary to provide this Index-Volume. The author takes the opportunity of introducing new memoirs, and illustrative documents and notes— especially memoirs of refugees in former reigns (fugitives from the Duke of Alva, the St Bartholomew Massacre, &c.), and their descendants. The surnames in volumes first and second are re-produced in a careful analysis of the whole work. Additional surnames, admitted in conformity with the plan of volume third, are incorporated in the Analysis, and the Alphabetical Tables refer to the pages in volume third. The original work has thus been zealously supplemented, annotated, and corrected, so that the possessors of volumes first and second have in this Index-Volume all the advantages of a new and improved edition, without the disadvantage of their former purchase becoming reduced in pecuniary value. It is impossible that the author can reprint the original work. For the sake of new purchasers, therefore, the third volume must be complete in itself. And, accordingly, some repetitions will be observed, which the possessors of volumes first and second are requested to excuse. A large number of the books and documents quoted in this work can be consulted in the library of the English Presbyterian College, Queen Square House, Guildford Street, London. i 'v GENERAL VIEW OF THE CONTENTS OF THE INDEX-VOLUME.

CONSISTING OFTEN SECTIONS (Vol. I., pages I tO 8l). Section I., (pages i to 8). The Persecution which drove the Protestants from France and its causes. I need give no summary of the historical statements down to the date of the mass.acre of the Huguenots (or French Protestants) by the Romanists, by order of King Charles IX., on St liartholomew's day 1572. But I insert an abridgement of the remainder of Section I. In order to understand the justification of civil war in France at tliis period, we must con- sider sonie points of ditference from our views of law and loyalty, belonging to the very constitutions of ancient government as comiiared with more modern monarchy and executive authority. After considering that the St Bartholomew massacre made personal self defence a Huguenot's only protection, the reader must picture a French Protestant congregation, forbidden to carry any arms, yet surrounded by Roman Catholics, armed with weapons which a raging priesthood stirs them up to use against the unarmed worshippers, the law not visiting such murderous assaults with any punishment. It must also be realised that it was consistent with loyalty for a noble to have a fortress over which the king had no active jurisdiction, and for a town such as La Rochelle to be equally independent of the sovereign. Such a town, by feudal right, was as effectual a sanctuary against the king's emissaries as any ecclesiastical building. It was as lawless for the king to go to war with the town, as for the town to send an invading army against Paris. The independent rulers of a fort or walled town had some duties to their own dependents, to which e\en the king's claims must be post- poned. The supreme authority of a king over all towns and castles was a state of things svhich in theory the King of France might wish : but it was not the constitution of France ; and therefore such coveting was a species of radicalism on his part. The inhabitants of La Rochelle owed to their independence their escape from the St. Bar- tholomew massacre. The Queen of Navarre, though decoyed to Paris, escaped by the visita- tion of God, who removed her " from the evil to come," and to the heavenly country, about two months before. A very great Huguenot soldier, second to none but Coligny, survived the massacre, namely, Francois, Seigneur de la Noue. This " Francis with the Iron Arm" had been Governor of La Rochelle. He was at Mons at the date of the massacre, but was spared, and graciously received by the king. Assuming that he would recant in return for his life, the Court sent him to La Rochelle to see if the citizens, on their liberty of conscience being promised, would surrender to royal authority. La Noue, as an envoy, was coldly re- ceived. Finding the citizens firm and courageous, he again accepted the cliief command in the Protestant interest, and the Royalist besiegers withdrew in the summer of 1573. An edict, dated nth .August 1573, conceded to the Huguenots liberty of domestic worship and the public exercise of their religion in La Rochelle, Montauban, and Nismes. The A 2 FREXCH PROTESTANr EXILES. Government relieved its feelings of chagrin at such concessions by inventing, as the one legal designation of French Protestantism for all time coming, the contemptuous title, " La Religion Pretendiie Reformee " (the pretended reformed religion), or " La R.P.R." Henry IIL succeeded Charles IX. in 1574, but his reign must here be passed over. When he was assassinated in the camp near Paris in 1589, the Protestants under King Henry of Navarre were in his army, taking the loyal side against the rebellious Roman Catholic League. The Papists continued the rebellion, with a view to displace Henry of Navarre from the throne of France, which was his rightful inheritance; and thus the Protestants, being evidently loyal still, require no apologist. It is alleged, however, that by now becoming a party to a treaty with the king of the country, the Protestant Church of France assumed an imijerial position which no civilised empire can tolerate, and that, therefore, the suppression of that Church by Louis XIV., though executed with indefensible cruelty, was the dictate of political necessity. The reply to this allegation is, that this treaty was only the re-enactment and further extension of a peculiar method of tolerating Protestants, devised by the kings of France as the only plan to evade the necessity of being intolerant, which the coronation oath made them swear to be. The plea that Protestants, as religionists, were not implicitly subject to the King, but were to be negotiated with like a foreign power, was the only apology for tolerating them, consistent even with the modified oath sworn by Henry IV. — " I will endeavour, to the utmost of my power, and in good faith, to drive out of my jurisdiction and from the lands under my sway all heretics denounced by the Church" of Rome. As to this political treaty with the Huguenots in its first shape. Professor Anderson* remarks, " Instead of religious toleration being secured to them by a powerfully administered law, their protection was left in their own hands, . as if there was something in their creed which must for ever render them incapable of amalgamating with other Frenchmen." Royalty, which planned the treaty, was at least as guilty as the Protestant Church, which entered into the plan. If persecution and extinction were the righteous wages of the transaction, the humbler accomplice was not the only party that had earned them. The only crime was consent to a royal programme, to which the successors of Henri IV.

    4i JSife an& (H)rtftng0 of Cijarfee Beefie, Qflonjurittjj ©twne" DWARD Gregory, of Bristol, has drawn our attention to a Life of this arch opponent of Quakerism, published in 1885, and the Manager of Friends' Bookshop, has, by energetic search, secured a copy for the Reference Library. This volume of 544 pages was written by Rev. R. J. Leslie, M.A. (1829-1904), vicar of Holbeach S. John, Lines., author also of The Life and Times of the right reverend John Leslie, D.D., Bishop of the Isles, Scotland and of Raphoe and Clogher in Ireland, etc., 1885. Charles Leslie (1650-1722) was a son of John Leslie (1571-1671),* known as " the Fighting Bishop," and he evidently inherited much of his father's combativeness. He was born in Ireland, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, He married Jane, daughter of Richard Griffith, the Dean of Ross (Ireland). In 1686, he became Chancellor of Connor. He was a pronounced Jacobite and refused to take the oaths at the Revolution ; and being dispossessed of his office he quitted Ireland and settled in London. He was a strong controversialist, and attacked in turn Deists, Jews, Quakers and Socinians as well as communities within his own Church. We are specially concerned with Leslie's controversy with Friends as related in Chapter vi. of his Life. R. J. Leslie informs his readers that Friends " formed a numerous and prominent sect at that time, compared with their present [1884] condition," and he actually believes that " one main reason among others of their gradual loss of influence and considera­ tion, was the completeness and effectiveness of his [Charles Leslie's] confutation of their tenets and pretences.

The Protestantism generally was of a type current in South West Germany and Switzerland, but the influence of Calvin was increasing every day.” Dr. Sanday here uses the term “Catholics,” in the * Dr. Sanday, Minutes of Evidence taken before The Royal Com †: on Ecclesiastical Discipline, 1906.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

    THE BOOK OF ARMAGH BY THE REV. CANON W.E.C. FLEMING, M.A. SOMETIME INCUMBENT OF TARTARAGHAN AND DIAMOND AND CHANCELLOR OF ARMAGH CATHEDRAL 2013 The eighth and ninth centuries A.D. were an unsettled period in Irish history, the situation being exacerbated by the arrival of the Vikings1 on these shores in 795, only to return again in increasing numbers to plunder and wreak havoc upon many of the church settlements, carrying off and destroying their treasured possessions. Prior to these incursions the country had been subject to a long series of disputes and battles, involving local kings and chieftains, as a result of which they were weakened and unable to present a united front against the foreigners. According to The Annals of the Four Masters2, under the year 800 we find, “Ard-Macha was plundered thrice in one month by the foreigners, and it had never been plundered by strangers before.” Further raids took place on at least seven occasions, and in 941 they record, “Ard-Macha was plundered by the same foreigners ...” It is, therefore, rather surprising that in spite of so much disruption in various parts of the country, there remained for many people a degree of normality and resilience in daily life, which enabled 1 The Vikings, also referred to as Norsemen or Danes, were Scandinavian seafarers who travelled overseas in their distinctive longships, earning for themselves the reputation of being fierce warriors. In Ireland their main targets were the rich monasteries, to which they returned and plundered again and again, carrying off church treasures and other items of value.
