2. A large and solid Justification of a certain Book written in French, 1655, concerning the Persecution of the Evangelical Churches in the Valleys of Piemont, entituled, 'La Relation veritable Justifiée, ou Refutation d'un escrit imprimé à Turin, &c.'

7. Copies of the several gratulatory letters, which were sent in the names of the poor Evangelical Churches of the Valleys of Piemont, immediately upon the conclusion of the treaty at Pignerol, 14 Aug. 1655; namely, to the Cardinal, to His Highness the Lord Protector, the States General, and the Evangelical Cantons of Switzerland. The last is in Italian, the others in French.
8. Copies of several sharp letters from Ambassador Servient, Monsieur de Bais, etc. to the poor people of the Valleys, to make them accept and rest contented with the treaty at Pignerol, together with their respective answers. They occupy nearly 30 leaves, on the first of which is Chap. 1.
