in France had hitherto been protected, was re­ voked by Louis XIV in 1085. I t was followed by the precipitate flight of a large number of Protes tants—it is said by some historians over half r million—who had now to find a home in other lands. They fled into all the IVotcstaht'countries of Europe. 50,000 in all came to England. They were in destitute circumstances, and the sea voyage had added to their distressed condition. Their sufferings and distress deeply stirred the sympathies of the English people, by whom evciy effort was made to succour ana help the j^oor exiles for con science sake. Pressure was put on the King— James I I—himself at heart a Romanist, and he i.ssucd a brief on their behalf. It brought in one of the largest collections on record, the precise amount being ;CG3,713 2s. 3d. Other means were taken, and in all about X200.000 was raised. In the first year 15,500 French were aided from this fund, and the next year it is said no less than 27,000.
