Paris, Nov. 10. It is written from Niot in the province of
Poictou, that 6 persons were seized there on suspicion of
holding assemblies for worshipping God in the Protestant
way, . . . [37 lines describing the arrest and sentencing of
one of the accused followed by]  When he had got up the
ladder, he began to sing the 51st Psalm, but the executioner
gave him not time enough to make an end, but turned him off. 
Many Roman Catholicks were thereupon so shocked that they
were observed to shed tears.
