THB HUGUENOTS, OR REFORMED FRENCH CHURCH.
BY WM. HENRY FOOTE, D. D.
This distinguished writer and divine is the
author of ‘Sketches of Virginia and North Car
olina,’ which has been noticed elsewhere in
these papers.
At the time of writing the work under consid
eration, he was pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Romney, now West A irginia.
It was written during the late war, but was
not published until 1870.
While this work was passing through the proc
ess of stereotyping, under the supervision of
the venerable author, he was called from the la
bors of the church on earth to the anperishable
joys of the heavenly sanctuary.
The dedication of this work is worthy of no
tice, and should impress itself upon the educa
ted and thoughtful reader. It bears on its
front the philosophy of history. It is dedicated
to those who love the development of great
principles; to those who admire patient contin
uance in well-doing and endurance of evil.
The author indicates that the work was writ
ten in times of great personal trouble, why, we
are unable to say, unless it was during that pe
riod of national distress, which mantled the war
of secession.
In the work which we now notice, the ‘Prin
ciples of the Huguenots in France, at Home:
the Huguenots Dispersed in Europe: the Hu
guenots at Home in America’ presents the form
iu which this admirable history is projected.
It addresses itself most instructively and inter
estingly to the historic student. Indeed, there
is a rich vein of the philosophy of history per
vading the narrative of the Huguenots which
should be appreciated by the Christians of all
departments of the evangelical church. It man
ifests the hand of God in history, and illustrates
the faith of those whose trust is in Christ, al
ways immoveable, ultimately triumphant.
The term Huguenot was applied to the French
Protestants or Calvinists. The philosophy of
the word is doubtful. It is agreed among such
scholars as French, Dr. Hook and Worcester
that the word means in German, ‘Confederates, ’
it was as such originally employed, and applied
to those who leagued together, or confederated,
to preserve their civil liberties against the en
croachment of the nobles and the authorities of
the Romish Church. The history of this party,
its origin and progress show the necessity at
that time of a combination of men of different
occupations, • and classes in life, to confederate
together under a common Christian banner to
maintain alike their civil and religious rights;
for it was the curse of the age, that made civil
liberty the slave of ecclesiastical tyranny.
The people were compelled to make opposi
tion to Christian rights the cause of civil liberty
and it was under such circumstances that the
word Huguenot was applied to the Reformed
Church of France about the middle of the 10th
century.
The great contest in France which resulted
in the overthrow cf the Valois line, and the es
tablishment of Prince Henry of Navarre, by
whom as HenryIV of France, was issued the Edict
of Nantes, It was the influence of the Hugue
nots, representing the liberal princioleB of civil
liberty as vitalized by Christianity that placed
Henry of Navarre on the throne and he protect
ed them politically and religiously.
The cultivated reader is acquainted with the
history of this French Reformed party. Rich-
lieu, Prime Minister of Louis XIII, captured
the city of Rochelle, the stronghold of tne Hu
guenots, and about the year 1628, broke up their
political organization, and forbid their having
political assemblies. The religious organiza
tion was left and they had their national synods
which existed for more than one hundred years.
But the wickedness of the government, fearing
the progress of true Christian reform, induced
constant and frequent encroaohments on tha
privileges of the national synod, and their only
bond of union ultimately was the Bible; their
confession of faith; their book of discipline;
and their forms of worship. The annulment of
the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV, put an end
to the separate existence of this illustrious syn
od and of the whole body of French Reformers.
The Huguenot, by the action of the tyrant,
then over the French, had a choice of three
things. 1st. Abjuration of his religion: 2nd.
Continual persecution to death: 3rd. Exile.
Many were put to death; some abjured, and
about five hundred thousand went into exile.
The learned, venerable and pious author of
‘The Huguenots, or Reformed French Churoh,’
appears to be well read in the library of volumes
in relation to the vast and mighty events of the
sixteenth century, and well and philosophically
does he appreciate the incalculable value in a
civil as well as in a religious sense of the princi
ples so firmly cherished by this church—part
and parcel of the great Calvanistic move, whioh
England and more especially Scotland and Hol
land so successfully placed on its immovable
basis, with the crown of ever lasting triumph.
We need not mention, nor can we go into the
details of the history of these events which have
made many volumes; yet we take pleasure in
calling the attention of the reader to the follow
ing eloquent, true and instructive extraot from
the work.
‘The peculiar interest of a third part of the
sixteenth century, extending from 1526 to 1559,
is In part, that literature, science and religion
having found their long lost, yet true founda
tion, began to erect glorious, ever-during fab
rics slowly, yet surely, more and more admira
ble as the work advanced, till the top stone shall
be laid, “with shoutings of grace, grace, grace
nnto it.” Literature was exercising herself in
portraying some important subject in fitting
language. The moral, physical, mental and
spiritual world was searched in its varied de
partments for themes that might interest and
captivate. Thoughts, feelings, actions and
principles of high import, stood before men in
words, like the ancient Greek statues chiseled
from the rock of exceeding excellence, under
stood, felt and appreciated. Science discovered
her true foundation to be the laws of nature;
laws given to the natural world by Him that
made it, laws given to the world till it shall
cease to exist; and was assiduously and patient
ly searching for them, undiscouraged by mis
takes and failures. Men were watching the prog
ress of things in the natural world to discover
the process of the wonderful skill by which
they were wrought. And now after the passage
of three centuries we admire the progress of true
scienoe in unfolding the mysteries concealed,
but never hidden from mortal view. Religion
sought and found her long lost foundation in
the nature of man, and of the God that made
him, and in those relations existing between
them as explained in the revelation God made to
. Literature could easily find her materi-
she had only to open her eyes. Scienoe
/.all her powers, and wait, and labor, and
labor and wait, and catch by little and little the
.truth she searches for, she must dig deep in the
mines; she must follow patiently the indica
tions that lead to the rich treasure-house.
Religion considers man and God; man for
time in preparation for eternity; and God, who
is and was and is to come the Almighty. Man
is weak and unwise, God is strong and wise, and
merciful, and good, and has given to man an
unfailing guide to lead him to Christ, ‘who is the
way, the trutn and the life, without whom no
man comes to the Father.’ This is true and ap
plicable philosophy in writing of the French Re
formed Church, and our author makes it clear as
a principle in the philosophy of history, when
he continues: ‘Religion then rests on the suffi
ciently revealed will of God, and builds all the
hopes of men on Gdd’s written, unchanged and
unchanging promises, open for the perusal of
all men. And the advance she has made in three
centuries shows the weakness and folly of man,
and the kindness and mercy of God.’
The above very beautiful and truthful remarks
which we have quoted from the author, may be
followed by the quotation we make in relation
to the history of the times that surrounded these
brave pioneers along the perilous pathway that
ultimately led many of them to bloody but in
nocent and pious graves, and many more to the
triumphs of civil and religious liberty. _
He continues: ‘That part of the sixteenth
century from 1526 to 1559—in its strifes,commo
tions, revolutions and bloody campaigns, em
braces tones of history, and volumes have been
written to convey to posterity the designs and
doings of the leading men in Europe. The
events that came clustering and confounding
their import, gave increased vigor to the exer
tions of religion, science and literature. The
rubbish of ages was cleared away. Charles \
held the kingdom of Spain, the Netherlands,
the great dependences in America together with
the crown of the Germanic empire, and repell
ed the invasion of the Turks, under which Eu
rope had been dishonored, with that spirit and
bearing of tyranny that wrung from his Protes
tant subjects the sad exclamation—(‘Twice easi
er to serve the Grand Turk than the Emperor!)
He put forth his mightiest efforts against the
reform in Germany; and signally failing, resign
ed his crown and died in retirement.’
The author makes some very forcible and
truthful remarks in relation to Henry VIII whom
he calls the brave king of England.
‘Henry severed the connection of the Church
of England with Rome, and asserted and main
tained his right to be head of the English Church
in temporals, and its adviser and defender in
spirituals; and carried the reform,as far as agreed
with his ideas of his perogative as king, irre
spective of any form or discipline of the Church
in other nations. Proceeding boldly and defi
nitely, he made an impression on the minds of
Englishmen and the heart of the churoh, that
the Pope Las never been able to eradicate or
countervail; and then passed after his legally
murdered wives, to meet his reward, leaving the
kingdom and Church of England to become, in
the opinion of an intelligent Frenchman, ‘the
bulwark of Protestantism in Europe, an epithet
in which that kingdom and that church glory.’
The contest of Henry VIII with the Pope of
Rome, did incalculable good, and will last and
continue to produce good as long as time shall
endure.
The history of the Huguenots in Europe is
clearly and well written, and accords with all
truthful narratives from the most creditable wri
ters of the awful blood-thirsty tyranny, and in
human cruelty inflicted, not only by the French
Government but by the policy of the Roman
Churph on the unfortunate Protestant Chris
tians.
This is a very instructive,and to a large extent,
a religious work; not doctrinal nor sectarian,
but full of the practical influence and tendency
of true piety, in purifying the heart and render
ing indomitable the fortitude of the Christain
believer. It is also refreshing and encouraging
to the conscientious man to realize as he does,in
the history of the Huguenots, the power of god
liness to resist every hardship, to over come the
most distressful resistances and to defy the tor
tures of the most violent death, rather than to
surrender even by verbal or written recantations
the honest convictions of a Christian heart.
The revocation of the edict of Nantes was the
most disastrous event to the prosperity of France
that had up to that period ever befallen the
nation. It crippled her manufacturing indus
try, embarassed her financial policy, reduced
the value of real estate, and inflicted a long and
lasting blight on the pure and more elevated
literature of the country, from whioh it has not
to this day recovered. All of these evils fol
lowed the suppression of Protestantism in
France, and the compulsory emigration of more
than five hundred thousand of the best popula
tion of the country.
The cry of the departing Huguenot, the wail
of the Christian exile, blent with the lamenta
tion of women, the heaving breast of the patriot
saint unheeded by the remorseless tyrant, yet
ascended to that ear ever open to the voice of
the distressed. And though amidst the heaviest
mental agony, and physical suffering these poor
exiles found home and happiness in a foreign
land, the historic philosopher of the present
day can trace the great advantage to other
nations by the banishment of Protestantism
from France.
They wended their painful pathway along
land and sea, and settled in England, Holland
and America.
The work before us, interesting on account of
its general history—its moral, political and re
ligious views—is peculiarly attractive to the
American readers; discussing as it does some
of the leading elements of American colonial
history. . . ,
All of Protestant Europe participated in the
benefits of Huguenot exile.
More than two hundred Huguenot ministers
were scattered through the united Provinces ot
Holland; many of them settled in England.
And Saurin, Aladdin, Du Boze, Martin and
many others, extraordinary orators and divines,
as they were, extended an influence appreciated
by the ed icated classes of England and Holland
even to the present day.
It was peculiarly fortunate for North Ameri
can Colonies that so many of them were induced
to come to this country. Admiral Coligny
in 1562 obtained permission from Charles IX
and dispatched two ships from Dieppe, under
Gen. Ribault to found a colony in Florida, at
that time a country of indefinite extent, embrac
ing the Southern Atlantic shores of North
America. Many noble families embarked under
that skilful captain. He touched th^ Florida
coast at the mouth of St. Mary’s river, but
coasting northward along what is now the Geor
gia and South Carolina shore, they landed at
a place they called Port Royal. This colony
suffered to such an extent that they embarked
for France in an indifferent boat, but they were
taken up at sea by an English vessel, and safely
carried to Europe. Coligny made another,
which was his third effort at colonising America
with Huguenots, and located them on the river
St. Johns, but thoy encountered a sad fate. The
Spanish court was remarkable in its hostility to
the Reformed Frenoh Cbureh. The Spaniard
Pedro Melendez, irvaded the oolony, in time of
peaoe, made prisoners of the most of them, and
hung them upon trees around, where might be
read the inscription: ‘Hung as heretios not as
Frenchmen.’ ‘Protestant Europe was indignant;
the Frenoh court made no reprials,’
In 1823 the Huguenots were found interspers
ed among the Dutch settlers on the banks of
the Hudson. The families comprising New
Amsterdam were in part Dutch and in part
Frenoh. The states of Holland had ever been
the refuge of the persecuted. The Reformed
Dutch church was organized in doctrine and in
form like the Reformed French church. The
refugee Huguenot, and the Hollander could
embrace each other, and were bound together
by a common faith, and united in purity of
friendship, in moral and in religious princi
pals. There was also an emigration to the colo
ny of Massachusetts which opened her doors to
the Huguenots. In 1685 a company of Hugue
nots sailed from France for Boston. In 1686 a
church was founded in that city for the refugees.
Peter Faneuil the son of a Huguenot, presented
in 1712 to the city of Boston a building for the
convenient assemblage of the people on occa
sions of public interest, and this the present
old ‘Faneuil Hall.’ Bowdoin oollege situated
in the state of Maine, then part of Massachusetts,
received its name and was endowed by a literal
descendant of a Huguenot.
The largest and most important Huguenot
colony was formed in Virginia In the year
1678, William of Orange gave a grant of land to
about three hundred of the unfortuate exiles.
The grant of land was on the south side of
James river, extended forty miles from tide
water up the river, located in the present
counties of Chesterfield and Powhatan. In 1700
about two hundred more came. They continued
to arrive until the colony consisted of between
seven and eight hundred. They built a church
near the river, at a place they named Manakin,
near the present location of Manakin town
ferry. The Legislative Assembly of the
colony was extremely generous towards this
noble band of exiles. It was for some time
conducted on a principal of commission; every
thing made either for ware, or food was deposit
ed in a large and commodious stone house, and
once a month everything that was necessary for
family supplies was drawn from the grand de
pository. .The writer of this article has heard
from the lips of a son of the celebrated James
Pleasants, United States Senator from Virginia,
Gov. of the state, and Secretary of war under
Monroe, that his mother, the venerable widow
of Gov. Pleasants had the key to this old stone
house in her possession up ts the time of her
death. This colony remained together until
about the year 1720, when it began gradually
to separate, and its members to marry with the
surrounding population.
Many of them removed to North Carolina and
settled on a stream they named Trent river,
attar an Englishman who had intermarried
with a Huguenot family.
In the counties of Powhatan, Goochland,
Chesterfield, Cumberland, Buckingham and
Flavonna lying along the James, are to this day
many members of this noble, early Protestant
family. If space allowed, we could mention
many whose names, the othography of which is
in some instances slightly changed to suit the
popular pronunciation, yet evidently belonging
to the Huguenot colony.
It is a tradition, and was sustained by the
authority of Dr. Alexander, formerly of Hamp
den Sydney college; afterwards of Princton, N.
J. by whom a history of the James River colon
ists was prepared, that on inquiring he had
been unable to discover an instance of a
member of the Huguenot families being tried
in a court of laws, or arraigned for offence.
Tradition often forms a beautiful feature of
history; we have frequently heard in connection
with old and respected scions of the colony,
some of whom still flourish along the banks of
their native James, jthat there was a man named
Chastaine, who enjoyed the sobriquet of ‘Honest
Guardian’ and that it was the wish of the dying
parent that this good man.shaild be the guardian
of his children, and not required to give bond
or security. His good character being a moral
bond that the requirements of the law could not
strengthen.
These remarkable people have left the impress
of their moral principals on American society.
In New York; in Massachusetts; in Virginia; in
the Garolinas; the North Hollanders, the strict
and systematic Puritan, th*e high toned, and
honest cavaliers could mingle in the purity and
the graces of public and private life, with the
unsullied Christian refugee, who left the vine
clad hills of France, its endearing clime and
lovely valleys, to escape the tyranny of a throne,
the atrocities of which are blots on the pages
of human history, to find civil and religious
liberty in the untainted wilds of North America.
The History of South Carolina is illustrated
by many elegant and accomplished families
descended from the Huguenots. The author
says:
‘To do justice to the men of Huguenot descent
in South Carolina, would requires volume.’
‘In political and literary life, they are among
the foremost to think, and divise, and persuade,
and accomplish. The literature and polit
ical history of the state open their pages to
reveal to mankind, and to posterity the talents,
and acquirements; and moral worth, and public
and domestic virtues of these people, whose
ancestors were hunted out of France, as weak-
minded, rebellious people by a lascivious,
bigoted, tyranical king, and a persecuting,
fanatical priesthood.’ A true and beautiful
compliment to the people of that state, still
preserving its exalted position in the national
galaxy, and proving by high character its de
scent from pure ancestry, and its allegiance to
those principles of morality and virtue public
and private that will sustain its former history
and present exalted position politically and so
cially among the American states.
In their madness the court and clergy of
France gave to the nation of Europe and Amer
ica the secret springs of their prosperity.’
Daniel S. Wetherbee, an old man living in
Milford, Mass., was missed on the second of
July and not found till the twenty-seventh.
When found he was lying on the ground, part
ly across a log, trying to get a drink of water
out of a hole he had scooped in the mud, using
the leaves of the pitcher plant to drink from.
About twenty-five feet from his drinking place
he had constructed a rude shelter of sticks, moss
and twigs, just large enough to crouch down in.
Here, almost dead with hunger, yet with ail his
reason left him, he made himselt a home, crawl
ing to the mud-hole for water and succeeding
in catching a frog or two, eating them raw with
roots and checkerberries. He was within fifty
rods of a travel'ed road and within twenty-five
rods of a cultivated field, yet so faint that he
knew not the direction of any human being,
though a house was within a half a mile. For
twenty days he had no fire, and he was starving
to death when found. He was cared tor by the
Selectmen.
A receipt from James McClarnan to P. Cline
was caught by the recent tornado at Wallingford,
Conn., and blown to Peace Dale, R. I., sixty-five
miles distant in a direct line.
Whenever and Wherever
Diseases o.*a choleraic type prevail, or there is cause
to apprehend a visit from them, the system should
be toned, regulated and reinforced by a course oj
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Perfect digestion and
a regular habit of body are the best safeguards
against such maladies, and both are secured by this
inestimable tonic and alterative. The Bitters are
also extremely serviceable in remedying such dis
orders. If prompt 1 '’' taken in bilious colic, diarrhoea
and cholera mo: bus, the disease is usually frus
trated. In diarrhoea cases, it is only necessary to
restore' the tone of the relaxed bowels, and this is
one of the spreifle eTects of this medicine. Wind
on the stomach, heartburn, biliousness, nausea,
headache and other symptoms of disturbance in
the gastric amd hepatic regions are also speedily re
lieved by this excellent remedy. As a family medi.
cine it is invaluable, since it promptly and com-
p’etely remedies those ailments which are of most
frequent occurrence. 159-lm,
