The Regent is said by Knox to have remarked that she was not bound to keep faith with heretics, and that, with as fair an excuse, she would make little scruple to take the lives and goods of "all that sort." We do not know Knox's authority for these observations of the Regent.
He hated the French domination to which his brother had submitted; yet his pride as sovereign was subordinated to his allegiance to Rome and a superstitious veneration for the wily priests with which Louis XIV. surrounded him. As the head of Anglican heretics, he was compelled to submit to conditions galling alike to the sovereign and the man.
But she told her step-father, and old Mount looked very grave. "God grant it be not so!" said he. "But if it be, Rose, thou wist they have our names in their black list of heretics." "Ay, Father, I know they have." "God keep us all!" said William Mount, looking earnestly into the fire.
Great preparations had been made to strike terror into the hearts of heretics by a series of horrible exhibitions, in the course of which the numerous victims, many of them persons of high rank, distinguished learning, and exemplary lives, who had long been languishing in the dungeons of the holy office, were to be consigned to the flames.

Some fighting ensued before Lawrence succeeded in leading ashore a body of troops. The motive of the turbulent abbe was to preserve the Acadians from the contaminating presence of heretics and enemies of his master, the French king.
When the prisoners had reappeared before Bonner in the afternoon, they were asked, for the last time, if they would recant their heresy. "We are not heretics," they replied; "the contrary is heresy." Then, on these six contumacious men, was passed in due form the sentence of death.
