To this supplication, they of S. John, of Roccapiata, of S. Bartholomew, and of Perouse, with those of the valley of Luserne, did agree: For it was concluded, that the agreement made,1 should extend to all the confederates of the same religion. Whiles they were treating of this agreement, the Lord of Trinity vexed cruelly them of Tailleret, under this pretence, because they had not presented themselves, to treat of this agreement. He tormented them after this sort. First he commanded that all their armour should be brought before him, and then they, on their knees, should ask him pardon, because they came not to treat of the agreement with the rest: which notwithstanding the most part of them did. Then he commanded them, to attend upon him, to enrol all the names of those, which would be of the foresaid agreement. Whereupon the next morning, the chief of the householders went to the village named Bovvets, the place appointed thereunto, and when they had heard the Sermon, and called upon God, they began to write their names. The enrolling of their names not being fully ended, word was brought, that the soldiers had gotten the top of the mountain, and taken all the passages, whereat they of Tailleret were sore amazed, and ran with all speed to defend their wives and children. Some they saved: the most part, with their goods, were in their enemies hands already. At this time, with sacking, spoiling, and burning, they did much mischief.
