A COPY OF THE SUBMISSION, WHICH THOSE OF THE Reformed Religion in France requested the Viscount of Doncaster, Ambassador extraordinary from his Majesty of Great Britain, to present in their behalf to the King their Sovereign.  
SIR,  
WE, your Majesty's most humble, most faithful, and most obedient subjects, who in your kingdoms, and sovereignty of Bearn, make profession of the Reformed Religion, do in all humility remonstrate to your Majesty, that as we never affected any thing more than to be preserved in the honour of your favour, (which we have promised ourselves in regard of our constant loyalty, always witnessed by us and ours, towards the good of your service, and the greatness and strength of your kingdoms) so also could never any thing prove more to our discontentment, then to see ourselves thereof deprived. In which regard having recourse to your goodness and royal clemency, we beseech your Majesty, that, with return of peace to your estate, you will be pleased to restore us to your favour, and repossess us of the benefit of the Edicts, declarations, graces and grants afforded us both by your Majesty and the deceased King Henry the Great, of immortal memory; for which we protest and vow never to departed from our most entire subjection, faith and obedience. And if your Majesty hath taken offence at some of our actions, we humbly beseech you to believe that they were against our intention; which was never otherwise then to render all true faithfulness, obedience and respect unto your Majesty; and that what we have done, hath been by extreme and urgent necessity; which you may be pleased not to impute to us as a crime, but rather to remit and pardon all, wherein we may have displeased your Majesty. For these respects (Sir) we in all humility beseech you to grant us a safe conduct, as well for such as it shall be needful to send to the Provinces and principal persons of our Religion, as to your Majesty, to the end that prostrating ourselves at your feet, we may confirm the true protestations of our sound fidelity, obedience and subjection, and obtain of your clemency and goodness whatsoever shall be necessary for the quiet and safety of our Churches, under the benefit of your Majesty's Edicts. And we shall be bound to iterate our continual and most fervent prayers to God for the prosperity of your Royal person, and conservation of your estate.
