| | SUPPLEMENT TO MR. FOX’S MARTYROLOGY BY MR. SAMUEL CLARK: PART III |
 | | At the same time the king wrote other letters, wherein he laid the fault of the murder of the admiral upon the duke of Guise; pretending that he had quieted all things in Paris, and intended that his edicts of pacification should be held inviolable. |
 | | Upon the receipt of these letters, the Papists fell upon the Protestants at Meaux, Trois, Orleans, and other places, and murdered them without all pity; besides such as were massacred in villages and fields, where they thought to save themselves; so that in a few weeks there were about 3O,OOO persons massacred in France. |
 | | But the bailiff's order of making a trench not being observed, the blood of the slain ran so abundantly out of the prison door, that thence, through the channel, it ran into the river, and turned it into the colour of blood, which bred an horror in the very Papists themselves. |
