By these & such other like talks the said arrest was published throughout the country, and there was no assemble or banquet where it was not disputed or talked of: & namely within 12. days after the Arrest was given out, there was a great banquet in the town of Aix,1 at the which banquet was present M. Bartholomew Chassanee, President, & many other Counsellors and other noble personages and men of authority. There was also the Archb. of Aries and the bishop of Aix, with divers ladies and gentlewomen, amongst whom was one which was commonly reported to be the bishop of Aix his concubine. They were scarce well set at the table, but she began thus to talk. My Lord President,2 will you not execute the arrest, which is given out of late, against the Lutherans of Merindoll? The President answered nothing, feigning that he heard her not. Then a certain gentleman asked of her what Arrest that was. She recited it in manner and form, as it was given out, forgetting nothing, as if she had a long time, studied to commit the same unto memory: Whereunto they which were at the banquet gave diligent ear without any word speaking, until she had ended her tale.
