"La plupart des Réformés marchaient la nuit, à travers des sentiers écartés et s'enfermaient le jour de caverne en caverne, ils avaient des itinéraires tout tracés pour cette nouvelle espèce de voyage; ils prenaient toutes sortes de déguisements, bergers, pélerins, soldats, chasseurs, valets, marchands, mendiants. C'étaient toujours des fugitifs. Plusieurs pour se garantir mieux de tout soupçon feignirent de vendre des rosaires et des chapelets. La voie de mer facilita l'évasion d'une foule de Réformés. Ils se cachaient dans des ballots de marchandises, dans des tonneaux, sous des monceaux de charbon. Ils s'entassaient dans des trous à fond de cale, et il y eut des enfants qui passèrent des semaines entières dans ces insupportables cachettes, sans pousser un seul cri de peur de se trahir."
