The people in this mean time, perceived themselves to be in great danger, and were sore moved at the sight of the army, the spoil of the soldiers, the taking away of their armour, but especially because the said Lord of Trinity had viewed the Meadow of Tour, foreseeing his traitorous meaning and purpose. A few days after, the said Lord of Trinity sent his Secretary Gastaut to Angrongne,1 to talk with them concerning the agreement, and to make a full resolution thereof: which was read in the assemble, by the Secretary, the sum whereof, was this: That the people of Angrongne submitted themselves to render all honour and reverence to God, according to his holy word, and all due obedience to the Duke their sovereign Prince: to whom they should send certain men to demand pardon of him, concerning their bearing of armour in their extreme necessity, and humbly to beseech him that he would suffer them to live peaceably in their religion, which was according to the word of God, not compelling them to do any thing against their conscience: as it appeareth more amply in the supplication, which after this the Angrongnians made, and caused to be read before the Secretary, in the open assemble, the which here ensueth.
