Note 57 — Chapter XXIV · AFTER THE CESSATION, 1643-1644

Rushworth, v. 901-917. A manifesto published in French at Lille, January 26, 1642-3, and intended for foreign consumption, contains the following demands of the Confederates: ‘(1) That the Catholic religion, the ecclesiastical hierarchy, and the religious orders be restored, and no sect or heresy tolerated, except that of Protestants existing (qui a vogue) in England, Germany, and some other provinces; that there be no bishop other than Catholic; that the priests enjoy all benefices and Church revenues; and that the Protestant ministers enjoy only such bishoprics [sic] or benefices as those of their sect shall procure them for a living. (2) That we be governed by a Catholic President, Council, and officers; that all governors of castles, fortresses, towns, and districts be Catholics,’ &c. Reprinted in Confederation and War, iii. 336.
