Paris, April 6. It appears by the last Letters from Languedoc, that the King's Orders concerning the Protestants are literally executed. The Proceedings against those that are found assembled, are extremely rigorous. The Execution of Benezat, the Student in Divinity, who was lately hang'd at Nimes, has struck such a Terror into the Protestants, that a great Number of Families, chiefly Mechanicks, have forsaken that City, and settled elsewhere. The Pastor Flechier, who is in Prison at Montpellier, has not yet received Sentence; and we hear that strong Intercessions are making to save his Life. All Christenings and Marriages by Protestant Ministers are forbid, upon Pain of Imprisonment, and Sequestration of Goods and Estates for the Benefit of the Children, who are likewise to be taken out of the Hands of their Parents.
