palatine, Aug. 22, 1572, referring
him for details to the account which Schomberg would give him verbally;
and, ibid., ii. 483, 484, the narrative signed by Charles IX. and Brulart,
secretary of state, in a translation evidently made at the time for the
elector's use.

[1207] Montluc to Charles IX., January 22, 1573, De Noailles, iii. 220.
Does not the frank suggestion furnish a clue to the method which was
sometimes practised in other cases?

[1208] Montluc to Brulart, Jan. 20, 1573, De Noailles, iii. 223. The

than in the church, did not intermit his toil or yield to discouragement.
If we may believe him, he "had not leisure so much as to say his prayers."
The panegyrists of the massacre, and especially Charpentier, had done him
good service by their writings, and at one time he greatly desired that

[1215] Gaberel, ii. 325. The author of the really able and learned article
on the massacre, in the North British Review for October, 1869, conveys an
altogether unfounded and cruel impression, not only with regard to Beza,
but respecting his
