19th.—In consequence of the Edict for the reduction of Quin-percorantin, there shall be no exercise of the said religion within the Bishopric of Cornouaille.

20th.—According also to the Edict given for the reduction of Beauvais, there shall be no exercise of the said religion at Beauvais, nor within the distance of three leagues around it. Nevertheless, it may be established in the places permitted by the Edict of 1577, even in the houses of the fifes, in conformity with the Edict of Nantes. 2lst.—Inasmuch as the Edict given for the reduction of Admiral Villars was only provisional, and to be in force until the King decreed otherwise, it is the will and pleasure of His Majesty, that henceforth his Edict of Nantes shall regulate all cities and jurisdictions brought into subjection to His Majesty by the said Admiral. 22d.—According to the Edict for the reduction of the Duke de Joyeuse, the exercise of said religion shall not be allowed in the city of Toulouse or its faubourgs, or within four leagues around it, nor any nearer than the cities of Villemur, Carmain and the Isle in Jourdan.

23d.—It shall not be restored in the towns of Alet, Auriac and Montesquieu; with the understanding, at the same, time, that if persons of the said religion within the said towns, shall petition for a place where they can have the exercise of said religion, the Commissioners of His Majesty, or the officers of the place, shall assign for each town some place of convenient and safe access for the said exercise, to be not further than one league distant from the town.

24th.—The said exercise may be established according to the provisions of the Edict of Nantes, within the jurisdiction of the Court of Parliament of Toulouse; excepting, always, in the Bailiwicks, Presidencies &c. the chief town of which was brought into subjection to the King by the said Duke de Joyeuse, where the Edict of 1577 must be observed. It is to be understood that the said exercise may be continued in the places where it existed at the time of the reduction; and in the houses of fiefs as set forth in the Edict of Nantes.
