The Waldoys were marvellously troubled & aggrieved with this fact, and wrote to the Lord of Raconis, declaring unto him the whole circumstance of the fact, and that they had the offenders in ward, and that, if it would please him to send certain to examine the matter, they for their part, would so execute justice in the punishment of them, that their innocency to all men should appear. The lord of Raconis, wrote unto them, that they should deliver unto him the offenders, and that he would do such justice upon them, as the cause required. To the which they of Angrongne answered, that upon three conditions, they should be delivered, according to his request. First▪ that the prisoners should be compelled to do nothing against their consciences,1 and as touching religion, nothing should be spoken unto them, but out of the word of God. Secondly, that speedy and sharp justice should be executed upon them: and that hereafter this should be no prejudice to the liberties and privileges of the people of Angrongne. The third, that the execution of them should be upon the borders of Angrongne, for an example to all other. This being accorded with one assent (yea with out contradiction of their parents) they sent them prisoners accompanied with 60. gunners, to the confines of Luserne, and there delivered them into the hands of the Lord of Raconis. This redounded to the great commendation of them of Angrongne.
