THE
FAVOVRITES
CHRONICLE
.
CVrious
Gentlemen
,
that
spend
your
time
and
take
pleasure
to
recreate
your
spirits
with
the
consideration
of
the
Tragedies
that
are
acted
vpon
the
Theater
of
this
World
;
I
cannot
be
perswaded
but
that
you
haue
heretofore
read
that
which
learned
Aesope
rehearseth
in
his
Fables
,
of
certain
Hares
,
who
running
away
when
they
heard
the
hounds
open
,
by
chance
past
along
by
the
side
of
a
ditch
,
where
there
were
great
store
of
frogs
vpon
the
grasse
,
who
as
soone
as
they
saw
the
hares
,
leapt
as
fast
as
they
could
into
the
water
.
This
action
being
noted
by
the
timorous
hares
,
did
in
such
maner
encourage
them
,
that
the
same
onely
sufficed
to
make
them
stay
their
running
any
further
;
at
which
time
,
one
of
them
(
who
it
may
be
had
studied
the
French
eloquence
,
practised
by
Master
William
du
Vair
)
told
them
,
that
from
thence
forward
it
behoued
them
to
esteeme
more
of
their
valours
then
euer
they
had
done
before
;
that
it
was
a
shame
for
them
alwayes
to
haue
bin
held
&
esteemed
to
be
fearfull
,
and
a
signe
of
reprochfull
dastardlinesse
vnto
their
auncestors
,
continually
to
haue
vsed
to
runne
away
,
and
neuer
durst
looke
in
their
enemies
faces
,
seeing
they
were
capable
to
ouercome
and
subdue
others
,
as
they
might
well
perceiue
by
experience
of
these
croaking
frogs
,
whose
onely
presence
had
put
them
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
without
any
stroke
given
.
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
his
notable
oration
,
(
as
plausibly
pronounced
,
as
that
which
my
Lord
Constable
made
to
those
of
Thoulonze
)
so
much
encouraged
his
companions
,
that
presently
they
resolved
,
not
to
set
vpon
Montaubon
,
but
in
time
to
come
to
shew
themselues
more
valiant
,
and
to
magnifie
and
exalt
their
generositie
,
and
from
thenceforward
determined
to
act
some
glorious
enterprise
against
those
accursed
hounds
,
and
to
turne
their
faces
against
their
enemies
to
assaile
them
:
which
counsell
put
in
execution
,
tooke
so
bad
effect
,
and
fell
out
so
vnfortunately
for
the
authors
thereof
,
that
thereby
they
were
not
onely
taken
,
but
torne
in
peeces
,
to
serve
for
a
prey
unto
their
enemies
,
and
a
jest
unto
other
more
judicious
and
subtill
beasts
.
This
fable
,
in
my
opinion
,
may
properly
be
applied
unto
the
levying
of
armes
at
this
time
,
whereinto
so
improvidently
we
have
bin
led
by
the
plausible
inducements
of
certaine
prating
companions
,
that
have
so
much
advanced
and
magnified
the
Favourite
Hares
,
that
they
have
made
them
to
busie
their
braines
about
the
ambitious
reach
of
their
prowd
fortunes
.
Every
man
knowes
what
discontentment
the
great
personages
of
this
Realme
have
had
,
to
beholde
the
Crowne
of
France
within
these
foure
yeares
to
be
as
it
were
besieged
by
Luynes
and
his
brethren
;
who
to
the
great
prejudice
of
the
Kings
affaires
and
the
Common-wealth
,
absolutely
disposed
both
of
the
ordinarie
and
casuall
matters
of
State
,
to
the
great
desolation
of
the
whole
monarchie
:
which
to
oppose
and
prevent
,
the
greatest
part
of
the
Princes
and
principall
Officers
of
the
Realme
in
Anno
1620.
made
a
kinde
of
league
.
But
the
number
of
the
Leaguers
being
extreme
great
,
the
businesse
could
not
be
so
securely
managed
as
the
case
required
:
whereupon
it
fell
out
so
,
that
it
was
presently
discovered
,
by
the
infidelitie
of
certaine
persons
that
betrayed
them
.
In
pursuite
whereof
,
the
vanquishers
had
the
victorie
without
combat
,
and
the
vanquished
ouerthrew
themselues
.
Now
appropriating
the
sence
of
this
fable
to
my
present
discourse
,
I
must
tell
you
that
my
Masters
the
Favorite
Hares
,
the
last
yeare
being
made
afraid
and
abashed
with
the
apprehension
that
they
conceived
of
so
many
yong
Princes
that
sought
to
overthrow
and
crosse
their
insolent
fortune
,
they
were
constrained
to
abandon
the
delights
of
the
Court
,
to
seeke
and
finde
out
some
meanes
to
shadow
and
cover
themselves
from
the
great
tempest
which
as
then
seemed
to
menace
them
.
And
so
shaking
and
trembling
with
feare
,
they
went
into
Normandie
,
where
by
good
fortune
they
met
with
certaine
people
,
that
like
true
frogs
,
hid
themselves
in
the
reedes
,
at
the
noise
of
their
horses
feete
.
Which
made
the
Favorites
set
up
their
eares
,
and
from
that
time
forwards
to
conceive
a
wonderfull
opinion
of
their
affaires
.
But
when
they
entred
into
the
medowes
in
Angers
,
and
perceived
that
at
their
onely
presence
,
the
frogs
of
Pont
de
See
slipt
downe
from
off
the
bridge
of
Pont
to
hide
themselves
in
the
water
,
they
did
then
begin
upon
that
occasion
to
conceive
so
great
an
opinion
of
their
valours
,
that
they
were
of
the
minde
presently
in
a
maner
to
set
forward
to
fight
against
the
great
Turke
,
without
once
staying
till
the
Duke
de
Nevers
vessels
were
made
readie
,
or
the
new
Knights
of
the
Christian
warre
were
prepared
to
fight
,
imagining
themselves
to
be
three
Caesars
,
able
to
overcome
and
rule
over
all
men
,
whereupon
they
resolved
to
lay
hold
vpon
all
occasions
,
and
to
command
all
,
and
so
farre
,
as
to
presume
to
make
,
not
onely
the
Princes
of
the
blood
,
but
also
the
Regall
authoritie
,
to
serve
them
for
a
footstoole
or
a
step
unto
their
greatnesse
.
Whereupon
our
neighbours
(
hauing
Argus
eyes
)
being
alwayes
vigilant
,
and
neuer
sleepe
,
and
with
their
spectacles
continually
beholding
our
proceedings
,
to
draw
some
profit
from
thence
,
accommodating
them
to
the
interest
of
their
affaires
,
perceiving
the
haughty
deseignes
of
the
Favorite
Hares
;
and
that
the
pride
which
they
conceived
in
their
hearts
of
those
ridiculous
victories
,
was
available
to
thrust
them
forward
and
embarke
them
into
some
great
enterprise
,
how
dangerous
soever
it
were
,
so
the
perill
that
should
be
ministred
were
well
gilded
over
:
they
advised
with
themselves
that
a
civill
warre
in
France
would
fall
out
well
to
the
purpose
,
to
be
a
meanes
for
them
to
attaine
to
the
end
of
the
Germane
revolts
,
and
of
the
vsurpation
which
they
pretended
to
make
vpon
the
Palatinate
,
Inlliers
and
Valtolina
.
And
to
make
them
the
more
eagerly
and
easily
to
catch
at
the
baite
,
they
practised
to
re-assemble
all
the
old
rags
and
peeces
of
the
holy
league
,
therewith
to
make
a
faire
cloake
of
religion
,
finely
sowed
by
the
fathers
of
the
Iesuiticall
societie
,
and
thereof
to
make
a
rich
present
unto
the
eldest
Favorite
,
shewing
him
what
a
glorie
it
would
be
vnto
him
to
weare
the
same
,
as
in
times
past
a
certaine
Duke
of
Guise
had
done
;
and
that
the
onely
way
for
him
,
without
any
trouble
to
attaine
the
Constables
office
,
was
to
gild
the
scabberd
of
his
sword
with
the
spoiles
of
the
foolish
hare-braind
heretickes
,
without
speaking
of
the
great
summes
of
mony
that
he
might
by
that
meanes
levie
of
the
people
,
vnder
pretence
of
so
pious
a
quarrell
,
as
that
of
religion
would
be
;
besides
the
hazard
that
he
incurred
to
be
canonized
,
according
to
the
ordinarie
maner
,
with
the
Cardinals
de
Ioyense
,
and
the
Earle
de
Fiesque
.
This
glorious
advice
,
presented
with
as
plausible
words
as
those
of
father
Cotton
,
moved
our
new
warriers
to
a
desire
and
great
appetite
to
be
doing
somewhat
:
and
their
deseigne
was
presently
confirmed
by
the
Archbishop
of
Sens
,
and
the
Keeper
of
the
Seales
,
to
whom
were
shewed
red
Hats
,
woven
by
the
hand
of
an
Archangell
,
with
a
letter
written
by
Pontchartrain
,
containing
an
assurance
that
those
Hats
were
for
them
:
for
the
which
the
Cardinals
de
la
Rochefoucault
and
de
Rets
were
sureties
,
upon
the
certificate
of
father
Berule
,
and
of
the
Marquis
de
Maignelay
.
Touching
the
execution
of
the
ruin
of
the
heretickes
,
it
was
solemnly
sworne
by
a
Catholick
Councell
holden
in
Fontainebleau
by
divers
great
persons
of
the
Realme
,
where
the
future
Constable
sat
as
President
,
apparelled
like
another
Alexander
,
holding
a
sword
of
damaske
of
Genes
in
his
hand
,
about
the
which
was
graven
,
He
that
kils
with
the
sword
,
shall
die
by
the
sheath
.
Now
with
more
ease
to
bring
this
enterprise
to
effect
,
Luynes
like
an
expert
falconer
,
esteemed
it
requifite
for
him
to
haue
a
Duke
to
draw
the
simpler
sort
of
birds
to
the
lure
:
and
for
that
certaine
yeares
together
he
had
fixed
both
his
eyes
upon
the
office
of
Constable
,
although
long
before
hee
had
made
an
offer
thereof
to
the
Duke
de
Lesdiguieres
,
to
see
what
the
great
personages
would
say
to
the
reestablishment
of
that
office
;
he
purposed
to
renew
that
proposition
unto
him
againe
,
and
caused
him
to
come
to
the
Court
,
not
with
an
intent
to
honour
him
with
that
dignitie
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
to
make
him
desist
from
it
,
for
his
owne
advantage
,
and
ciuilly
to
hold
him
as
a
prisoner
,
by
his
wives
meanes
,
who
vnder
pretence
of
some
particular
profit
,
hath
exposed
her
husbands
honour
to
the
open
view
of
the
world
.
Thus
the
said
Lord
Marshall
being
fallen
into
the
nets
that
were
laid
abroad
for
him
,
presently
father
Arnoux
was
seene
to
sweate
water
&
blood
,
to
procure
the
conversion
of
the
poore
Huguenots
;
who
paying
him
well
,
he
did
happily
bring
into
the
lap
of
the
Church
,
thereby
to
warme
and
encourage
the
spirits
of
those
that
were
zealous
,
and
to
animate
them
with
more
crueltie
against
the
heretickes
.
While
the
Earle
de
Schomberg
had
commission
given
unto
him
to
furnish
a
masse
of
treasure
,
to
defray
the
charges
which
should
be
convenient
(
at
what
price
soever
it
should
cost
)
to
seeke
both
on
hils
and
in
valleys
for
the
band
which
in
times
past
had
so
often
and
victoriously
bin
borne
against
the
Saracins
,
that
it
might
once
againe
be
displayed
in
so
holy
a
warre
.
And
because
it
could
not
be
found
,
what
diligent
search
soeuer
the
fathers
made
,
they
were
forced
to
have
recourse
unto
some
other
expedient
thing
,
agreeable
to
the
greatnesse
of
that
enterprise
.
And
behold
,
for
want
of
the
banner
,
unexpectedly
the
Constables
sword
rose
up
,
which
Luynes
had
long
time
hidden
in
the
breasts
of
the
Dukes
de
Guise
,
and
de
Mayenne
,
and
de
Lesdiguieres
,
from
whence
he
puld
it
artificially
,
to
lay
hold
on
it
.
And
it
is
to
be
noted
,
that
the
first
time
that
he
hung
it
by
his
side
,
he
held
it
a
while
naked
in
his
hand
,
admiring
his
owne
valour
,
esteeming
it
equall
unto
that
of
Caesar
;
and
without
further
consideration
of
the
difficulties
of
that
warre
,
cried
out
for
joy
,
and
said
like
another
Alexander
,
Nodos
virtute
resolvo
,
and
then
put
the
sword
into
the
scabberd
,
from
whence
it
neuer
came
out
againe
,
by
the
advice
of
Cadnet
and
de
Branthe
,
that
they
might
not
be
reproched
,
that
one
of
them
was
more
valiant
then
the
other
.
In
the
meane
time
,
it
was
resolved
to
go
directly
to
Saumur
,
there
to
do
homage
for
that
warlike
sword
,
to
our
good
Ladie
de
Ardvilliers
,
for
the
first
fruites
of
his
militarie
actions
,
to
sacrifice
vnto
her
the
breaking
vp
of
blinde
Monsieur
du
Plessis
Mornays
Librarie
,
who
for
that
he
was
as
ill
sighted
as
the
Countesse
de
Moret
,
was
deceived
by
the
intercession
of
Villarnoud
his
sonne
in
law
;
so
it
may
well
be
said
,
that
it
was
the
first
match
that
set
fire
,
not
onely
in
the
Temples
of
the
Huguenots
,
du
Plessis
and
les
Touers
,
but
also
in
all
the
Cantons
of
the
Realme
,
for
that
upon
the
good
successe
of
the
yeelding
up
of
that
place
,
the
Favorite
Hares
resolved
to
adde
the
conquest
of
S.
Iohn
d'
Angely
unto
their
triumphs
,
into
the
which
Towne
they
had
sent
Lo●drieres
to
betray
his
companions
,
and
in
recompence
thereof
they
promised
to
discharge
him
of
1000
crownes
yearely
rent
that
he
ought
to
the
Treasurer
Moran
,
besides
15000
crownes
which
they
gaue
him
in
ready
mony
.
Thus
from
place
to
place
their
conquests
extended
so
farre
,
till
they
came
before
Montauban
,
which
my
Lord
Constable
thought
to
take
as
easily
as
hee
could
take
up
his
Ladies
smocke
,
as
hee
made
knowne
by
his
letters
sent
to
diuers
places
,
by
the
which
he
assured
his
friends
,
that
he
had
sowed
so
good
corne
in
that
accursed
place
,
as
he
made
no
doubt
but
that
it
would
take
roote
.
That
was
the
cause
that
Te
Deum
was
sung
in
Boulogne
,
Lyons
and
many
other
places
for
the
yeelding
up
thereof
,
grounding
upon
the
infallible
assurance
that
some
men
had
,
that
he
would
take
it
,
because
he
tooke
all
other
places
but
onely
Montauban
.
But
therein
he
was
not
to
be
blamed
,
for
he
had
sent
Sauuage
into
the
Towne
,
who
had
promised
to
deliuer
that
Towne
into
his
hands
,
as
he
had
done
Clerac
:
but
the
traitor
deceiued
my
Lord
Constable
,
and
standing
on
the
walls
,
mockt
him
.
This
device
failing
,
divers
batteries
were
erected
,
supposing
by
that
meanes
to
put
the
inhabitants
thereof
in
some
feare
.
Trenches
were
cast
up
,
and
furious
skirmishes
were
made
.
Father
Arnoux
to
encourage
the
souldiers
,
assured
them
by
his
part
of
Paradise
,
that
all
those
that
died
in
so
holy
a
quarrell
,
should
neuer
go
into
Purgatorie
.
Whereupon
euery
man
sought
and
strove
to
shew
forth
his
valour
.
Branthe
and
Cadnet
made
a
goodly
shew
with
their
great
plumes
of
fethers
,
a
great
many
of
brave
gentlemen
were
kild
,
and
every
day
more
and
more
were
slaine
.
The
report
of
this
siege
was
spread
abroad
throughout
all
Europe
;
and
the
late
deceased
King
Henrie
the
fourth
had
newes
thereof
caried
unto
him
in
the
Elizian
fields
:
so
that
as
when
he
liued
he
did
tenderly
and
fatherly
loue
and
nourish
France
;
the
care
of
the
quietnesse
,
together
with
the
desire
he
had
to
know
the
state
thereof
continually
vexed
his
soule
.
For
which
cause
he
sent
messengers
into
every
place
,
to
discover
whether
any
French
men
had
past
over
the
river
of
Styx
.
The
late
Baron
de
Villeroy
brought
him
newes
,
that
by
chance
he
had
met
with
a
Spaniard
of
his
old
acquaintance
,
who
had
told
him
for
certaine
,
that
the
Constable
of
France
had
begun
a
glorious
warre
against
the
heretickes
,
wherein
he
had
proceeded
so
happily
,
that
in
lesse
then
two
moneths
he
had
reduced
threescore
Townes
vnder
his
obedience
,
battered
,
taken
and
unwalled
S.
Iohn
,
Pont
Nerac
,
Bergerac
and
Clerac
,
and
that
as
then
he
lay
before
Montauban
with
fortie
great
peeces
of
cannon
.
That
the
Marquis
de
Villars
and
divers
others
had
bin
burnt
before
it
,
though
they
were
no
heretickes
.
That
the
Marquis
de
Themines
and
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
also
had
bin
slaine
there
,
besides
400
gentlemen
of
name
and
qualitie
,
and
aboue
15000
souldiers
kild
.
That
touching
the
raising
up
of
the
siege
,
he
could
say
nothing
,
for
that
the
reverend
father
Dominique
de
Iesus
Maria
had
there
lost
the
subtiltie
of
his
revelations
;
and
that
there
was
none
but
the
Duke
de
Branthe
,
the
Duke
de
Cadmet
,
and
the
Duke
de
Luynes
that
were
capable
to
take
it
:
but
they
were
not
men
to
expose
their
bodies
in
all
enterprises
,
because
of
the
importance
of
their
persons
.
Are
they
Spaniards
?
said
the
King
.
They
are
,
said
Villeroy
,
the
onely
faithfull
Counsellers
to
the
King
your
son
,
by
whose
advice
all
the
Realme
is
governed
.
Wherewith
King
Henrie
the
fourth
scratching
his
head
,
stood
as
if
he
had
bin
in
a
dreame
,
and
staying
a
great
while
without
speaking
a
word
,
at
last
sighing
with
a
sad
countenance
and
sorrowfull
voice
,
he
said
:
Alas
,
now
I
see
well
that
these
men
by
litle
and
litle
will
vndoe
my
sonne
,
and
that
that
which
my
enemies
could
not
do
while
I
lived
,
they
will
enforce
themselues
to
effect
it
in
his
life
time
,
by
the
meanes
of
those
three
petie
Kings
.
Let
search
be
made
in
every
place
,
to
kuow
if
there
be
any
of
my
old
servants
to
be
found
,
among
all
those
that
have
bin
kild
before
S.
Iohn
,
Clerac
and
Montauban
,
that
I
may
discourse
with
them
touching
those
lamentable
things
that
are
done
in
my
poore
countrey
of
France
.
Truly
,
said
the
Chancellor
de
Belieure
,
euen
now
I
saw
almost
20000
persons
of
all
sorts
and
qualities
,
which
stand
on
the
other
side
of
the
river
of
Stix
,
desiring
to
passe
over
;
but
the
Boate-man
Caron
refused
them
all
,
vntill
they
have
bin
purged
in
the
〈◊〉
of
Purgatorie
.
They
maintaining
and
constantly
aff●●…ing
,
that
they
were
exempted
from
it
,
because
they
ha●…●ost
their
lives
before
the
heretiks
forts
,
according
to
the
assurance
given
them
in
the
other
world
,
by
the
Iesuites
●f
Thoulouse
and
Bourdeaux
,
and
namely
by
father
Russelay
.
That
grieves
me
much
,
said
the
King
,
I
could
be
content
to
haue
given
100000
crownes
to
marry
the
Nunnes
in
Paris
,
vpon
condition
that
this
contention
were
ended
,
I
haue
so
great
a
desire
to
see
some
one
Frenchman
or
other
,
that
might
ease
me
of
my
care
,
for
the
apprehension
that
I
haue
conceived
of
the
troubles
of
the
King
my
son
,
of
the
Queene
my
wife
,
and
of
my
children
.
Therewith
the
Baron
de
Liencourt
stept
forth
and
said
to
the
King
:
Sir
,
your
Grace
is
much
troubled
to
know
the
truth
of
the
affaires
in
the
other
world
,
you
need
but
direct
your selfe
vnto
some
Iesuites
,
for
they
haue
letters
from
all
places
.
I
came
but
now
from
speaking
with
father
Gontrie
,
hee
cannot
chuse
but
know
something
;
if
you
will
haue
me
enquire
of
him
,
it
may
be
my
wife
hath
written
him
a
word
or
two
thereof
.
No
,
no
,
said
Samet
,
those
kind
of
people
are
too
craftie
and
subtill
,
the
truth
neuer
comes
directly
out
of
their
mouthes
,
you
shal
know
nothing
that
way
;
I
know
a
better
way
,
Caron
the
boatman
is
my
friend
,
he
and
I
haue
many
times
dranke
together
,
I
will
deale
so
well
with
him
,
that
for
my
sake
he
shall
not
make
difficultie
to
suffer
some
Frenchmen
(
upon
my
recommendation
)
to
passe
over
,
or
else
let
me
go
over
to
them
,
to
heare
what
they
can
say
touching
your
Graces
desire
.
Venture
S.
Gry
,
said
the
King
,
your
invention
is
very
good
.
Wherewith
M.
Guilliaume
,
who
in
the
meane
time
stood
attentively
to
heare
that
discourse
,
began
to
say
unto
the
King
:
My
Lord
,
if
you
thinke
it
good
,
I
will
gladly
beare
Sebastian
Zamet
companie
,
and
will
aide
him
finely
to
passe
over
,
as
the
succours
did
into
Montauban
,
while
he
stands
speaking
with
old
Caron
,
and
then
I
will
speedily
make
a
journey
to
Louviers
,
to
know
how
●ll
fares
there
,
and
whether
the
Normands
are
well
co●●…t
to
be
bowles
of
Quillibeuf
,
in
recompence
of
their
service
.
I
will
not
have
you
stirre
from
thence
,
said
the
King
,
you
shall
stand
sentinell
on
the
South
side
,
and
onely
marke
when
the
Archduke
Albertus
shall
leane
off
his
Monks
cowle
.
Zamet
dispatched
away
,
went
to
the
river
side
,
where
being
arived
,
he
heard
newes
that
the
Cardinall
de
Guise
was
come
thither
with
buls
,
to
cause
all
those
to
passe
over
,
that
died
as
he
did
in
that
holy
warre
,
but
that
there
was
some
dispute
happened
among
those
that
stayed
to
passe
over
;
for
which
cause
Caron
would
not
let
them
passe
,
for
feare
lest
they
should
fight
together
while
they
were
in
his
boate
.
Thereupon
Zamet
to
further
the
businesse
,
gaue
his
advice
,
that
it
was
convenient
to
sprinkle
all
those
that
quarelled
together
,
with
water
of
oblivion
,
before
they
entred
into
the
boate
,
that
so
forgetting
their
quarels
,
they
might
passe
over
peaceably
.
This
counsell
was
instantly
followed
;
but
as
things
are
full
of
crosses
,
another
controversie
hapned
after
that
,
betweene
the
said
Cardinall
and
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
who
should
first
go
into
the
boate
.
The
strife
was
long
,
which
much
displeased
Zamet
,
because
it
staid
him
from
returning
backe
unto
the
King
.
The
dispute
was
maintained
by
reasons
on
either
side
.
The
Cardinall
said
,
he
died
first
,
and
by
consequence
that
he
ought
to
go
first
.
The
Duke
denied
not
that
,
but
said
,
hee
was
to
be
preferred
before
him
,
because
he
had
bin
slaine
in
the
Kings
service
,
and
that
the
Cardinal
died
onely
of
sicknes
.
The
Cardinall
replied
,
that
for
Gods
sake
he
had
abandoned
both
wife
and
children
;
and
to
proue
it
,
desired
no
other
witnes
but
the
Duke
de
Nevers
;
and
that
he
had
not
done
so
.
At
last
they
stood
vpon
the
difference
of
their
degrees
and
qualities
;
and
for
that
the
Church
alwayes
hath
the
preheminence
,
it
was
iudged
that
the
Cardinall
should
enter
first
into
the
boate
,
as
also
because
he
had
brought
the
buls
to
free
them
to
passe
over
the
river
,
without
going
into
Purgatorie
;
and
so
all
of
them
past
over
with
this
decree
,
that
those
who
thereafter
should
come
from
the
siege
of
Montauban
,
should
enioy
the
like
priviledge
.
When
they
were
set
on
shore
on
the
banks
of
the
Elizian
fields
,
Zamet
recived
and
saluted
them
,
with
both
his
arms
about
their
middles
,
jesting
and
sporting
with
them
,
and
assuring
them
that
King
Henrie
the
great
would
be
exceeding
glad
to
see
them
,
because
of
the
desire
he
had
to
vnderstand
the
state
of
the
affaires
of
France
.
The
impatience
that
troubled
the
spirit
of
that
good
Prince
,
had
moved
him
to
walke
with
the
greatest
part
of
his
old
servitors
to
the
side
of
the
riuer
,
to
meete
with
Zamet
the
late
Baron
de
la
Guiche
,
because
he
was
very
tall
,
was
he
that
first
afarre
off
discouered
that
French
troupe
,
and
said
to
the
King
S.
Fiacre
:
Sir
,
I
thinke
these
are
the
men
of
Montauban
before
vs
,
they
are
a
great
number
,
I
wonder
how
so
many
brave
men
have
suffred
themselves
to
be
made
nestle-birds
;
you
will
say
,
that
it
is
a
great
armie
,
and
I
marvell
that
your
Majestie
doth
not
see
the
foule
dust
which
they
cause
to
rise
up
into
the
aire
with
their
feete
.
I
perceive
it
well
,
said
the
King
,
let
us
stay
here
for
them
;
in
the
meane
time
take
your
prospective
glasse
(
as
the
Constable
did
at
Piquerox
)
the
better
to
know
them
afarre
off
.
And
as
the
King
walked
somewhat
aside
,
the
Marshall
d'
Aumont
said
:
Sir
,
we
shall
speedily
heare
some
newes
,
for
I
see
a
carrabin
among
the
mirtle
trees
,
that
runs
as
fast
as
he
can
,
to
get
before
his
fellowes
;
he
seemes
to
be
some
harbinger
or
quarter
master
,
that
seekes
to
come
to
the
campe
before
the
rest
,
that
he
may
take
vp
the
best
lodging
:
but
coming
nearer
,
they
knew
him
to
be
a
Iesuite
,
that
was
sent
in
great
haste
by
his
Generall
,
to
perswade
the
King
,
not
to
beleeue
all
that
should
be
told
him
touching
the
lamentable
state
whereinto
the
affaires
of
France
are
now
reduced
:
and
he
was
no
sooner
come
to
the
King
,
but
on
the
other
side
Hautefontaine
suddenly
was
at
his
heeles
,
who
had
slipt
out
of
the
company
,
that
he
might
excuse
himselfe
touching
the
miserable
disorder
hapned
in
S.
Iohn
d'
Angely
.
And
as
soone
as
he
spied
the
Iesuite
,
he
suddenly
cried
out
,
and
said
:
What
doth
this
Iannisarie
here
?
doth
it
not
suffice
his
Societie
to
haue
supported
the
authors
of
the
diuision
between
the
mother
and
the
sonne
,
but
must
he
come
hither
also
,
to
trouble
and
disturbe
the
peace
of
the
blessed
?
What
noise
is
that
which
I
heare
,
said
the
King
?
Varenne
made
answer
:
It
is
Hautefontaine
that
quarrels
with
this
good
father
which
even
now
came
to
your
Majestie
.
Hautefontaine
,
said
the
King
,
bid
him
come
hither
that
I
may
speake
with
him
.
Who
coming
to
the
King-presence
,
he
asked
him
,
who
had
sent
him
into
these
quarters
?
By
the
Lord
,
Sir
,
(
excuse
me
,
said
he
,
if
I
do
not
sweare
as
the
Huguenots
do
,
for
I
am
angrie
)
I
am
not
come
hither
for
mine
owne
pleasure
,
it
is
true
that
I
make
no
account
of
my
life
,
but
I
am
halfe
mad
to
see
this
Spanish
Iannisarie
presume
to
speake
unto
you
,
after
they
have
dealt
with
you
as
they
have
done
,
and
Catholikly
set
fire
in
the
foure
quarters
of
your
sonnes
Realme
.
Why
do
you
call
them
Iannisaries
,
said
the
King
?
Do
not
you
know
,
said
Hautefontaine
,
that
the
Turks
Ianisaries
haue
neither
father
nor
native
country
,
acknowledging
no
Lord
but
the
great
Turke
:
so
the
Iesuites
neither
respect
their
country
nor
their
parents
,
but
onely
bend
their
mindes
and
all
their
studies
to
accomplish
the
will
and
desire
of
Yo
el
Rey
,
their
Soveraigne
Lord
;
and
the
better
to
effect
his
will
and
pleasure
they
haue
troubled
all
Christendome
,
and
are
the
cause
of
the
death
of
all
these
brave
Knights
which
are
now
coming
hither
to
your
Majestie
.
The
King
looking
backe
saw
all
those
that
had
past
over
the
river
,
who
all
together
began
to
kneele
downe
.
Are
these
moale-catchers
or
takers
of
Montauban
,
said
the
late
Admiral
d'
Anvile
?
The
King
therwith
sharply
reproved
him
,
saying
,
Hold
you
your
peace
,
this
is
no
spectacle
to
be
laught
at
;
and
therewith
his
heart
was
so
much
grieved
,
that
he
could
hardly
speake
,
yet
he
refrained
not
to
entertain
them
friendly
;
and
then
particularly
embracing
the
Cardinall
de
Guise
,
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Lords
,
he
prayed
them
to
go
and
rest
themselves
;
and
hauing
eased
their
bodies
awhile
,
he
would
conferre
with
them
at
leisure
;
and
therewith
he
commanded
Zamet
to
entertain
them
wel
,
and
so
drew
himself
aside
with
his
most
confident
friends
untill
the
next
day
.
While
the
King
spake
unto
them
,
Hautefontaine
stood
talking
with
Beringhen
touching
the
motives
of
the
secret
mysteries
of
Bearn
,
and
entred
into
so
profound
a
discourse
with
him
,
that
they
past
over
a
great
part
of
the
night
therein
.
At
last
the
King
desiring
to
take
some
rest
,
asked
for
Beringhen
;
and
answer
being
made
,
That
he
was
without
,
walking
with
Hautefontaine
.
He
commanded
that
they
should
both
come
to
him
.
And
turning
to
Hautefonte
,
he
asked
him
,
what
occasions
had
moved
them
to
rebell
against
the
King
his
sonne
?
saying
hide
nothing
from
me
,
but
speake
boldly
like
a
true
Huguenot
.
Sir
said
he
,
if
I
should
die
once
againe
by
a
musket
shot
at
me
from
the
wall
by
a
false
brother
of
the
companie
,
I
will
tell
you
our
affaires
truly
how
they
past
,
and
wil
not
lie
in
any
point
.
It
is
long
time
since
we
perceived
that
the
Spaniard
doubting
the
end
of
the
truce
betweene
him
and
the
Hollanders
,
and
that
for
the
good
of
his
affairs
he
sought
to
trouble
France
by
some
civill
warre
,
finding
no
better
meanes
then
to
make
us
wrangle
among
our selves
with
blowes
of
Pater
nosters
and
Clement
Marots
Psalms
,
his
device
from
that
time
effected
what
it
could
;
and
to
give
us
matter
and
subject
to
enter
into
the
field
,
many
things
which
your
Majestie
had
formerly
granted
unto
us
by
your
Edicts
,
were
denied
us
.
The
affaires
of
Bearn
were
brought
in
question
,
as
a
countrey
neare
bordering
upon
Spaine
;
his
principall
agents
there
dispersed
a
certaine
quantitie
of
Medales
,
for
marks
of
Catholikes
,
on
the
backe
side
having
Iulius
secundus
.
The
Marquis
d'
Ancre
was
no
sooner
slaine
,
but
du
Vair
Keeper
of
the
Seales
,
author
of
the
assembly
of
speciall
persons
,
holden
in
Roane
in
the
beginning
of
an.
1618.
caused
that
notable
decree
of
the
privie
Councell
for
the
restoring
of
the
temporall
goods
and
lands
unto
the
spirituall
persons
in
Bearn
to
be
pronounced
;
but
the
great
difficulties
touching
this
restitution
,
caused
the
execution
thereof
to
be
delayed
.
The
Spaniard
,
that
stil
sought
to
set
fire
on
France
,
caused
the
Bishop
to
trot
up
and
downe
Paris
,
to
have
an
end
and
order
of
their
suite
.
Thereupon
our
Ministers
made
a
generall
assembly
in
Loudun
,
in
the
meane
time
we
were
undermined
by
all
the
malcontents
in
the
Realme
,
but
yet
they
could
not
win
us
in
any
sort
to
estrange
our selves
from
the
fidelitie
which
we
owe
unto
our
King
.
Luynes
and
his
brethren
fearing
lest
we
should
make
a
scape
,
promised
us
in
the
Kings
name
,
that
within
six
moneths
the
speciall
points
of
our
complaints
should
be
answered
,
and
that
in
the
meane
time
nothing
should
be
innovated
in
the
country
of
Bearn
.
Vpon
this
assurance
we
brake
up
our
assembly
,
with
promise
by
word
of
mouth
that
we
should
have
leave
to
reassemble
if
that
were
not
performed
within
the
said
time
which
was
promised
unto
us
.
But
that
word
was
not
held
with
us
,
but
on
the
contrary
we
were
mockt
;
and
without
staying
till
the
six
moneths
were
expired
,
your
old
servant
de
la
Salle
was
driven
out
of
Navarrens
and
at
the
same
●●me
the
Iesuites
were
established
in
P
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
hereupon
w●
presented
our
most
humble
supplications
to
the
King
your
sonne
,
and
in
stead
of
an
answer
thereunto
,
we
had
a
flat
deniall
.
Whereupon
wee
assembled
the
Deputies
to
renew
our
complaint
,
but
without
giuing
them
audience
,
we
were
proclaimed
Traitors
.
Then
we
saw
all
the
Transmontaine
faction
to
arise
;
and
the
better
to
disguise
the
action
,
in
stead
of
speaking
openly
against
the
heretickes
,
because
that
would
have
savoured
too
much
of
the
old
league
,
it
was
reported
in
all
places
that
we
were
not
good
common
wealths
men
,
and
that
we
had
called
the
virgin
Marie
,
la
Guimbard
,
thereby
to
move
all
the
Catholicks
vnder
that
pretence
to
seeke
revenge
against
all
those
that
aided
you
against
the
leaguers
.
And
in
truth
,
Sir
,
your
Majestie
may
well
note
and
perceive
,
and
so
may
all
good
Frenchmen
likewise
,
that
they
have
assailed
and
spoiled
none
but
those
Townes
which
in
time
past
served
your
Majestie
for
a
retraict
in
the
time
of
your
greatest
troubles
,
witnes
S.
Iohn
,
Nerac
,
Clerac
,
and
the
Towne
Burbon
de
Montauban
,
which
beares
the
name
of
your
house
,
to
shew
how
much
they
that
caused
it
to
be
built
,
were
affected
to
your
blood
.
This
in
few
words
,
Sir
,
is
the
history
of
France
and
Spaine
.
I
haue
heard
you
well
,
said
the
King
,
but
who
thrust
Luynes
forward
to
destroy
that
which
I
haue
made
?
A
designe
to
make
himselfe
great
by
our
ruines
,
and
the
decay
of
your
state
,
said
Hautefontaine
.
There
is
a
great
apparence
thereof
,
said
the
King
;
call
Vair
unto
me
,
said
he
,
let
me
heare
his
reasons
;
Beaulide-ruze
go
you
and
seeke
him
out
.
That
's
to
no
end
,
said
the
Marshall
d'
Ornano
,
for
I
haue
heard
that
he
is
out
of
his
wits
for
griefe
that
he
had
to
have
bin
so
unfortunate
,
that
he
could
not
be
at
the
funerall
of
the
Chancellor
de
Sillery
.
Let
that
Stoick
school-master
to
Veron
alone
,
you
have
all
these
Lords
and
Gentlemen
here
,
Sir
,
who
will
truly
and
plainly
tell
you
the
truth
of
the
desolations
of
France
,
to
morrow
in
the
morning
,
saluting
your
Grace
,
they
will
let
you
know
more
,
then
you
would
know
.
You
say
true
,
said
the
King
.
The
next
day
the
Marquis
de
Termes
was
the
first
that
shewed
himselfe
when
the
King
came
out
of
his
chamber
,
who
with
a
smiling
countenance
bad
him
welcome
,
and
then
asked
him
for
Monsieur
le
Grand
,
and
what
Lords
and
gentlemen
had
past
over
the
river
with
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
as
also
how
many
men
were
slaine
in
those
brave
enterprises
made
by
the
bucklers
of
France
.
Sir
,
said
the
Marquis
,
my
brother
hath
alwayes
bin
a
most
humble
servant
to
your
Majestie
,
and
so
he
is
still
unto
the
King
your
sonne
,
and
to
all
the
blood
Royall
▪
Luynes
hath
put
him
backe
from
deling
with
the
affaires
of
the
State
,
and
therefore
he
meddles
not
therewith
.
Touching
those
that
came
with
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
they
are
400
gentlemen
of
good
qualitie
,
and
about
2000
souldiers
.
Shew
me
particularly
the
originall
of
so
many
mischiefes
?
Sir
,
said
he
,
the
pride
of
three
Falconers
,
whom
you
placed
about
your
sonne
upon
the
recommendation
of
Varenne
,
who
stands
there
behind
you
,
are
and
will
be
the
cause
of
the
dissipation
of
your
Crowne
,
they
haue
won
the
King
your
sonnes
fauour
,
they
do
not
tell
him
of
the
affaires
of
his
Realmes
,
but
cleane
contrary
,
and
as
they
would
have
him
know
it
;
they
have
cleane
altered
the
whole
Court
;
the
Court
is
filled
with
their
brethren
,
brothers
and
sisters
in
law
,
nephewes
,
nieces
,
cousins
and
allies
,
and
all
sorts
of
rascals
,
having
driven
out
all
your
old
servitors
,
and
those
of
the
Queene
mother
,
it
being
most
true
,
that
no
man
(
what
,
or
whosoeuer
)
can
haue
accesse
to
his
Maiestie
,
but
onely
by
their
meanes
;
they
keepe
the
Prince
brother
to
the
King
your
sonne
,
as
their
servant
;
they
haue
laid
hold
upon
the
forces
of
the
State
,
drawne
the
treasures
thereof
cleane
drie
,
and
in
a
word
they
governe
all
.
What
,
said
the
King
,
doe
not
the
Councell
speake
against
those
disorders
?
In
truth
,
Sir
,
said
de
Termes
,
they
have
changed
both
the
Councel
and
the
Counsellors
.
Doth
my
wife
endure
that
?
why
doth
she
not
oppose
her selfe
against
it
?
said
the
King
.
Oppose
against
it
,
said
the
Marquis
;
if
she
should
but
once
open
her
mouth
to
speake
against
it
,
they
would
presently
clap
her
up
in
hold
,
like
the
Descomans
.
You
iest
,
said
the
King
;
if
I
were
she
,
I
would
let
them
know
that
I
am
the
Queene-mother
.
Alas
,
Sir
,
said
the
Marquis
,
if
you
knew
how
they
have
used
her
within
these
foure
yeares
and
a
halfe
,
there
is
no
slave
but
wold
rather
enjoy
his
condition
then
hers
;
they
have
driven
her
shamefully
out
of
Paris
,
they
limited
her
two
yeares
together
to
stay
in
the
castle
of
Blois
,
they
pursued
her
by
force
of
armes
,
they
haue
made
her
follow
their
armie
like
a
Lanceknights
wife
;
to
conclude
,
they
haue
in
such
maner
made
her
subiect
to
their
dominion
,
that
she
dares
not
once
complain
of
the
rigor
which
they
vse
against
her
.
Doth
the
King
my
sonne
know
that
?
said
the
King
.
No
,
Sir
,
said
the
Marquis
,
they
are
warie
enough
to
let
him
know
it
;
on
the
contrary
,
they
seeke
all
the
meanes
they
can
to
divert
from
her
all
the
good
affection
that
the
King
beares
unto
her
,
still
whispering
him
in
the
eare
,
that
she
hates
him
,
that
she
seekes
to
make
his
brother
King
,
that
she
is
an
Italian
,
and
other
diabolicall
inventions
to
feare
him
,
without
once
putting
him
in
minde
that
she
is
his
mother
,
or
what
love
she
doth
beare
unto
him
in
that
respect
.
Those
are
three
villanies
,
said
the
King
,
I
would
that
Rapin
had
them
under
his
hands
in
the
place
of
execution
:
but
I
wonder
why
the
Pope
doth
not
take
on
him
to
stop
the
courses
of
such
sowers
of
diuision
betweene
the
mother
and
the
sonne
;
it
would
be
a
great
good
for
Christendome
,
and
an
honour
unto
him
.
It
is
hard
,
said
the
Marquis
,
to
make
an
answer
thereunto
,
Sir
;
yet
I
wil
shew
you
what
I
have
heard
from
father
Raude
a
Charterux
Monke
,
a
great
friend
to
our
house
,
your
Maiestie
shall
understand
,
if
it
please
you
,
that
at
such
time
as
those
three
brethren
usurped
upon
the
authoritie
Royall
,
they
also
ioyned
with
the
body
of
the
Societie
of
the
name
of
Iesus
for
two
causes
,
and
the
Iesuites
for
two
causes
entred
into
league
with
them
.
Luynes
useth
their
helpe
,
to
get
in
the
mony
belonging
to
the
Marquis
d'
Ancre
,
which
was
in
the
Mount
de
Prete
in
Rome
,
and
in
requitall
thereof
he
promised
to
reestablish
them
in
their
colledge
in
Paris
,
in
despight
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
as
he
hath
done
;
and
further
he
hath
sent
the
Marquis
de
Quemere
Ambassadour
to
Rome
,
in
the
Kings
name
,
to
solicite
their
reestablishment
in
Venice
.
The
Iesuites
in
recompence
promised
him
,
that
they
would
aide
him
in
all
things
and
in
every
place
,
and
that
they
would
in
such
sort
obtaine
his
Holinesse
good
will
towards
them
,
that
hee
should
be
favourable
unto
them
during
their
usurpation
;
and
that
neither
the
Pope
nor
they
would
exclame
in
any
sort
against
the
bad
dealing
which
they
should
offer
unto
the
Queene
mother
:
and
it
is
certaine
that
his
Holinesse
never
wrote
any
thing
thereof
,
neither
makes
any
complant
against
the
insolencies
of
those
Favorites
.
On
the
contrary
,
the
Nuncius
Bentivole
resident
in
Paris
,
is
wholy
for
Luynes
,
who
hath
made
him
Cardinall
,
and
Comprotector
of
the
French
nation
in
Rome
,
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Prince
Cardinall
of
Savoy
,
to
whom
the
King
had
given
that
protection
.
Thus
Luynes
is
upholden
on
that
side
.
And
to
the
end
that
the
King
of
Spaine
should
not
be
offended
to
see
the
Queene
his
sister
governed
by
Luynes
and
his
wife
,
he
hath
consented
to
let
him
lay
hold
upon
the
Grisons
,
the
Palatinate
and
Iuliers
,
which
is
under
the
protection
of
France
,
and
which
the
Queene
mother
following
your
designe
,
hath
kept
out
of
the
Spaniards
clawes
;
whereas
on
the
contrary
,
that
villaine
suffers
so
important
a
country
bordering
upon
the
Realme
,
to
be
lost
.
He
hath
alienated
120000
crowns
yearely
rent
of
the
Church
,
whereof
he
hath
imbursed
200000
crownes
for
his
part
:
of
your
sonnes
revenues
,
he
and
his
brethren
possesse
at
the
least
500000
franks
yearely
rent
,
without
disbursing
one
penie
for
it
.
How
this
discourse
grieves
me
,
said
the
King
,
I
would
you
had
neuer
spoken
to
me
thereof
,
let
us
leave
for
this
time
;
here
comes
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
and
a
great
number
of
Noblemen
to
visit
me
.
All
these
,
said
the
Marquis
de
Termes
,
will
confirme
that
which
I
have
said
unto
your
Majestie
,
and
you
may
know
of
them
what
hath
past
since
I
left
them
at
Clerac
.
The
Duke
de
Mayenne
coming
neare
with
all
his
companie
,
made
humble
obeysance
to
the
King
;
and
his
Majestie
bowing
his
head
,
welcomed
them
with
teares
in
his
eyes
:
Cousin
,
said
the
King
,
and
all
you
my
faithfull
servants
,
it
grieves
me
that
you
have
bin
deceived
by
three
villaines
,
who
,
as
I
heare
,
untill
this
time
have
abused
the
favour
and
bountie
of
my
sonne
,
and
generally
your
free
spirits
.
The
Duke
speaking
for
them
all
,
said
,
Sir
,
I
know
not
who
hath
made
your
Grace
so
wel
acquainted
with
the
pride
of
those
three
Falconers
,
that
have
used
all
the
meanes
they
can
,
to
put
all
men
both
great
and
meane
out
of
the
King
your
sonnes
favour
by
their
devices
,
sold
all
France
by
their
covetousnes
,
and
brought
all
the
realm
into
disorder
by
their
monstrous
ambition
.
All
men
know
how
litle
cause
I
have
to
speake
wel
of
the
Marquis
d'
Ancre
,
but
I
may
well
say
,
that
he
was
an
Angell
in
respect
of
these
three
divels
incarnate
,
enemies
both
to
men
and
all
valour
,
and
such
as
never
employed
them
but
to
their
overthrow
:
all
they
that
have
past
over
the
river
with
me
,
know
what
they
are
;
besides
that
for
mine
owne
part
I
have
every
way
tried
and
proved
their
divellish
malice
in
that
respect
.
It
is
true
,
that
Marquis
d'
Ancre
was
wicked
as
wel
as
they
,
but
yet
he
had
some
humanitie
in
him
,
he
did
good
to
many
,
hee
was
a
man
of
his
word
,
if
hee
crost
some
great
persons
,
he
made
much
of
others
:
but
these
three
plagiaries
have
bin
a
scourge
to
them
all
,
thinking
it
a
glory
by
their
dissembling
salutations
to
deceive
all
the
world
with
brazen
faces
.
I
will
not
trouble
your
Majestie
with
the
rehearsall
of
their
detestable
actions
,
nor
put
you
in
minde
of
the
rude
dealing
that
they
have
shewed
to
the
Queene
your
wife
,
neither
how
they
have
scorned
my
Lord
the
Prince
,
nor
of
their
ingratitude
against
my
Lady
the
Countesse
,
nor
what
trickes
they
have
played
with
all
the
Nobilitie
:
it
suffiseth
,
Sir
,
that
you
generally
know
their
proud
proceedings
,
they
have
fully
gotten
the
government
of
the
King
your
son
and
of
the
authoritie
royall
into
their
hands
,
making
him
beleeve
,
that
they
three
onely
held
the
Crowne
upon
his
head
,
as
if
those
of
his
blood
had
conspired
the
usurpation
thereof
.
For
the
space
of
foure
yeares
they
have
caused
all
the
affaires
of
importance
to
passe
under
their
hands
;
they
have
made
the
King
march
with
them
in
all
places
for
their
owne
particular
interest
;
vpon
the
frontiers
of
the
Realme
Luynes
hath
bin
so
proud
as
to
make
his
entrie
into
townes
,
accompanied
with
a
Prince
of
the
blood
,
and
in
the
presence
of
the
King
his
Soveraigne
;
he
sent
his
brother
Cadnet
into
Flanders
,
under
pretence
to
go
seeke
his
wife
,
where
he
spake
with
Marquis
Spinola
;
and
after
that
,
with
a
most
incomparable
pride
,
covered
with
precious
stones
appertaining
to
the
Crowne
,
he
hath
bene
in
England
,
not
one
of
the
Kings
Councell
knowing
the
secret
of
his
embassage
;
after
that
voyage
he
undertooke
to
make
himselfe
Duke
of
Britaigne
;
and
it
is
not
knowne
whether
since
he
hath
bin
keeper
of
the
Seales
,
hee
hath
dispatched
letters
patents
for
the
same
.
In
favour
of
Castille
he
hath
neglected
all
ancient
alliances
of
the
Crown
;
he
hath
suffered
the
Palatinate
and
the
Grisons
to
be
lost
,
to
make
the
Spaniard
favourable
to
him
.
The
Queene
mother
preserved
Iuliers
,
under
the
protection
of
the
King
your
sonnes
forces
,
and
those
three
villaines
have
suffered
it
to
be
besieged
by
Spinola
.
To
the
disgrace
of
your
glorious
memorie
,
Branthe
a
meane
fellow
,
that
never
had
200
franks
yearely
rent
,
hath
bin
so
audacious
as
to
ravish
the
heire
of
Luxeburg
,
and
to
force
that
yong
Princesse
being
but
eleuen
yeares
old
,
and
at
such
a
time
when
all
France
was
in
armes
by
their
meanes
;
and
if
the
ravishing
of
a
maide
be
punishable
,
as
it
is
,
her
action
in
all
circumstances
is
much
more
punishable
.
Luynes
hath
exposed
the
King
and
the
Prince
his
brother
into
the
inconveniences
of
a
long
voyage
,
and
into
the
perils
of
the
bad
aire
in
the
armie
,
in
such
maner
that
the
Prince
was
there
sick
and
like
to
die
,
and
yet
he
would
not
suffer
him
to
be
carried
out
of
the
infections
of
the
campe
:
he
hath
resolved
upon
the
warre
against
the
Huguenots
,
without
taking
,
yea
and
against
the
advice
of
your
old
Councellers
:
hee
hath
bin
so
audacious
as
to
keepe
the
Kings
seales
in
his
hands
,
to
promise
them
to
many
,
but
gives
them
to
no
man
,
busying
himselfe
during
the
dangers
of
the
siege
before
Montauban
,
with
sealing
expeditions
,
in
stead
of
going
to
the
warre
,
for
which
cause
the
souldiers
made
these
foure
verses
of
him
:
What
shall
we
of
this
valiant
Warrier
say
,
That
vseth
vs
like
slaves
both
night
and
day
?
He
that
in
peace
the
Constables
office
hie
,
And
in
warre
doth
the
Chancellers
place
supplie
.
In
such
maner
,
that
if
there
be
any
capitall
crime
that
may
be
objected
against
a
bad
servant
,
that
is
one
of
the
most
notorious
and
greatest
.
All
the
mony
appointed
for
paying
of
the
souldiers
in
the
armie
,
he
stayed
in
Blayes
,
in
such
sort
,
that
more
souldiers
have
died
of
want
and
necessitie
,
then
of
wounds
,
for
want
of
reliefe
.
To
be
short
,
their
covetousnes
and
villanies
are
the
cause
of
all
the
bad
successe
hapned
as
wel
during
that
siege
as
in
other
publicke
affaires
.
That
which
I
finde
to
be
most
strange
,
said
Balagny
,
is
,
that
not
one
of
them
hath
bin
hurt
in
any
of
the
exploits
of
their
conquests
.
I
will
shew
you
a
pertinent
reason
for
that
,
said
the
Duke
,
it
is
because
they
neuer
sought
after
blowes
,
and
blowes
never
met
with
them
;
and
that
is
it
which
Luynes
Surgeon
wrote
to
his
wife
,
that
was
in
doubt
lest
her
husband
was
slaine
in
the
armie
:
Wife
,
take
no
care
for
me
,
but
be
quiet
,
&
feare
nothing
,
for
I
incurre
no
danger
,
my
Lord
Constable
doth
me
that
honour
to
affect
me
much
,
and
to
keep
still
neare
unto
his
person
.
Thus
you
see
how
those
gallants
are
miraculously
preserved
and
kept
out
of
the
danger
of
blowes
,
while
they
cause
others
to
lose
their
lives
.
Our
posteritie
,
said
the
King
,
will
hardly
beleeue
,
that
men
of
no
degree
,
and
voide
of
all
valour
,
should
in
so
short
a
time
lay
hold
upon
the
government
of
France
.
Sir
,
said
Pluninel
,
I
did
neuer
so
easily
with
bit
and
bridle
manage
your
Graces
great
horses
in
the
stable
,
(
without
comparison
)
as
I
have
seene
them
manage
all
the
Princes
of
your
Realme
.
What
,
said
the
Marshall
de
Brisac
,
was
not
Cadnet
so
bold
as
to
threaten
the
Prince
,
that
he
should
not
go
out
of
Bois
de
Vincennes
,
if
he
did
not
consent
to
give
him
the
Princesse
of
Orange
to
be
his
wife
,
who
died
for
griefe
thereof
?
You
iest
,
said
the
King
.
He
hath
done
more
then
that
,
said
he
,
for
he
was
so
presumptuous
as
to
presse
the
Earle
de
Soyssons
to
give
over
the
office
of
high
Steward
unto
him
.
The
late
Earle
taking
the
word
out
of
his
mouth
,
said
,
If
my
sonne
had
bin
wise
,
he
should
have
caused
him
to
be
well
beaten
for
his
impudencie
.
You
haue
reason
,
said
old
Courtenay
,
if
he
had
Rambure
,
or
such
another
Knight
as
he
for
his
governer
,
but
he
hath
a
blocke
to
be
his
schoole-master
,
that
knowes
not
what
belongs
to
honour
and
courage
;
and
therefore
those
companions
know
with
whom
they
have
to
do
.
Let
us
enter
into
some
other
discourse
,
said
the
King
;
as
I
remember
,
one
of
you
told
me
,
that
during
all
these
businesses
,
Luynes
and
his
brethren
carried
their
wives
with
them
unto
the
warre
,
and
that
they
were
with
them
during
the
important
siege
of
Montauban
;
if
it
were
so
,
it
is
very
likely
that
their
intent
was
no
other
but
onely
to
make
their
battery
under
curtains
.
At
that
word
M.
William
gave
a
nod
,
and
said
to
the
King
,
Indeed
my
Lord
,
you
have
often
bin
told
,
that
they
play
the
Kings
,
and
that
I
acknowledge
,
they
have
heretofore
sitting
by
the
fire
heard
how
you
in
times
past
rid
upon
the
League
,
and
those
gallants
would
imitate
you
,
and
thinke
by
riding
their
wives
,
to
ride
upon
the
Huguenots
:
but
those
wicked
heretickes
have
knavishly
ridden
upon
them
before
Montauban
.
Whereat
all
of
them
began
to
laugh
.
But
the
King
enquired
of
the
miracle
of
the
Spie
,
and
much
desired
to
know
it
,
and
speaking
thereof
,
askt
,
why
,
after
he
had
escaped
in
such
maner
,
he
was
not
sent
into
the
Towne
,
to
convert
the
inhabitants
.
Faith
of
a
gentleman
,
said
de
Loppe
,
that
had
bin
no
safetie
for
him
,
for
so
the
people
might
have
hangd
him
up
in
good
earnest
.
God
is
strong
every
where
,
said
the
King
,
and
can
defend
those
that
are
his
,
at
all
times
and
in
all
places
:
but
tell
me
who
sent
father
Dominicke
de
Iesus
Maria
into
France
?
what
maner
of
man
is
he
?
And
it
please
your
Majestie
,
said
the
Earle
de
Fiefque
,
he
is
a
holy
man
,
I
yet
have
a
portatise
cloake
that
he
gave
me
;
your
Majestie
will
not
beleeve
what
honour
the
Parisians
did
unto
him
,
and
yet
know
not
wherefore
;
every
woman
cut
off
a
peece
of
his
gowne
;
and
he
came
thither
onely
to
shew
us
that
all
the
Spaniards
are
not
Saracins
,
and
that
there
are
some
holy
men
among
them
.
If
I
had
bin
of
the
Kings
Councell
,
said
the
Abbot
du
Bois
,
I
would
in
counter-change
have
sent
father
Berule
to
Madril
,
I
am
sure
that
the
women
of
Castile
would
also
have
cut
his
fustian
.
That
were
good
,
said
the
Marshall
de
Fervaques
,
if
French
cloth
were
as
fine
as
Spanish
cloth
;
but
if
I
were
of
the
Councell
,
as
the
Cardinall
de
Rets
is
,
and
as
forward
as
the
Earle
de
Chomberg
,
(
who
is
capable
to
redresse
all
Luynes
faults
,
so
that
he
doth
not
joyne
with
forreine
faction
)
I
would
make
the
Spaniard
know
,
that
he
is
not
a
better
Catholik
then
I
my selfe
am
,
and
would
keepe
him
from
having
secret
intelligences
with
our
Favorites
,
to
the
great
detriment
of
the
Kings
service
and
the
Realme
,
which
goes
to
decay
,
if
remedy
be
not
speedily
had
therein
.
I
confesse
,
said
the
King
,
that
since
I
have
heard
of
all
the
bad
and
perfidious
practises
which
that
gallant
and
his
brethren
have
done
and
performed
,
my
son
never
knowing
thereof
,
my
spirit
hath
bin
in
continuall
perplexitie
,
fearing
lest
they
should
destroy
their
good
maister
and
great
benefactor
.
Sir
,
said
the
Marquis
de
Villars
,
the
earth
never
bare
more
traiterous
and
ambitious
villaines
then
they
are
;
they
have
bin
so
bold
the
last
yeare
to
cause
a
Maske
to
be
made
in
Burbon
hall
,
wherein
they
presented
divers
mysticall
figures
,
and
among
the
rest
,
a
great
Lady
and
divers
Giants
chained
,
whom
Luynes
apparelled
like
Phebus
,
drew
after
him
,
whereof
the
greatest
resembled
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
upon
whose
head
Luynes
set
his
foote
,
for
a
signe
of
servitude
.
Truly
,
said
the
Baron
de
Plancy
,
he
made
another
more
impudent
in
the
Castle
of
Piquerox
,
for
there
perceiving
the
King
to
be
grieved
for
the
losse
he
had
received
by
the
death
of
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
he
devised
a
litle
Comedie
to
make
his
Majestie
merrie
,
wherein
hee
presented
a
great
Moore
making
divers
strange
jestures
;
and
for
that
he
resembled
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
the
King
commanded
them
to
leave
and
act
no
more
.
Why
?
said
Luynes
.
Because
,
said
the
King
,
that
this
man
in
all
respects
resembles
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
;
I
cannot
endure
to
see
it
.
Truly
Sir
,
said
he
,
his
death
needs
not
minister
cause
of
sadnesse
to
your
Majestie
,
for
he
was
a
turbulent
fellow
,
that
troubled
all
your
affaires
;
you
were
no
King
as
long
as
he
lived
;
we
haue
discovered
and
found
out
that
he
made
a
third
partie
,
and
since
his
death
we
have
found
all
his
practises
.
Thus
this
villaine
alwayes
sought
to
divert
all
the
good
opinion
that
his
Majestie
had
of
his
servants
,
and
of
all
those
of
his
blood
.
He
did
another
matter
,
said
the
Secretarie
of
State
for
the
Seales
,
he
was
so
impudent
as
to
write
vnto
the
Pope
,
that
the
Queen
mother
was
the
cause
that
Montauban
was
not
taken
,
thereby
thinking
to
cover
his
owne
cowardlinesse
;
from
whence
it
may
be
conjectured
how
many
false
reports
he
hath
made
to
the
king
your
sonne
,
seeing
he
was
so
bold
to
send
such
a
message
to
his
Holinesse
.
You
shall
never
have
done
Sir
,
said
the
Earle
de
Lude
,
if
you
will
hearken
unto
all
their
arrogant
actions
,
who
knowes
them
better
then
my selfe
that
brought
them
up
?
as
long
as
any
of
that
race
are
neare
about
the
King
your
sonne
,
they
will
spoile
all
,
there
being
no
kind
of
wickednes
whereof
they
are
not
capable
:
and
aboue
all
things
beleeve
it
,
Sir
,
my
Lord
the
Prince
may
well
offer
a
great
candle
unto
God
when
he
shall
escape
out
of
their
hands
;
your
Majestie
must
foresee
these
things
.
As
the
King
was
discoursing
with
the
Lords
touching
the
sorrowfull
state
of
the
affaires
of
France
,
and
about
the
meanes
to
remedie
the
same
,
all
the
assistants
partaking
with
the
griefe
of
that
good
Prince
,
on
a
sudden
Monsieur
de
Vury
breaking
through
the
prease
came
to
his
Majestie
,
and
to
comfort
him
,
said
,
Corbien
Sir
,
you
have
sufficiently
lamented
the
miseries
of
the
time
,
I
must
now
make
you
merry
a
while
,
by
telling
you
that
which
I
presently
saw
:
as
I
was
hawking
after
a
partridge
along
by
the
river
side
,
by
chance
I
came
to
as
merrie
a
combat
as
ever
was
acted
upon
the
Theater
de
Tabarim
in
the
place
Dauphine
.
Betweene
whom
said
the
King
.
Your
Majestie
must
know
,
said
Vitry
,
that
Marshall
d'
Ancre
walking
along
by
the
river
side
with
Dole
,
when
Charon
set
on
shore
the
new
Constable
of
France
,
with
his
sword
of
say
.
What
,
said
the
King
,
is
he
here
?
Corbien
said
he
,
he
is
there
,
I
assure
your
Grace
,
I
haue
seene
him
,
and
when
I
saw
him
,
I
laught
for
ioy
,
he
hath
the
countenance
of
as
notable
a
rascall
as
ever
I
saw
.
But
before
I
proceed
further
,
I
must
tell
you
of
the
pleasant
salutation
of
these
two
combattants
:
Marshall
d'
Ancre
walking
as
I
said
before
,
stood
still
to
contemplate
the
proud
gestvre
of
that
new
come
guest
,
and
beholding
his
face
,
he
knew
it
was
Luynes
;
wherewith
suddenly
the
blood
rose
in
his
face
,
and
he
said
to
Dole
,
Behold
the
traitor
that
caused
me
to
be
kild
,
I
will
now
kill
him
;
and
without
speaking
any
more
words
,
casting
his
cloake
over
his
face
,
went
to
meet
with
him
;
and
as
soone
as
he
got
to
him
,
he
gave
him
a
great
bob
on
the
nose
,
saying
,
Traitor
,
now
I
le
make
thee
pay
for
thy
villanie
.
The
Constable
abasht
thereat
,
said
,
You
are
deceived
,
you
mistake
me
for
another
,
I
understand
no
Italian
.
Pardieus
,
I
undestand
French
well
.
Lay
hand
on
thy
sword
,
said
the
Marquis
.
Are
not
single
combats
forbidden
here
,
said
the
Constable
?
Villaine
,
said
the
Marquis
,
thou
art
afraid
;
and
saying
so
,
he
fell
upon
the
Constable
,
and
gave
him
divers
great
blowes
with
the
flat
side
of
his
sword
,
in
such
maner
,
that
never
any
curtall
jade
was
so
well
beaten
.
The
Archbishop
of
Sens
that
stood
hard
by
them
,
had
a
great
desire
to
helpe
him
,
but
he
durst
not
go
betweene
them
,
still
remembring
the
blowes
with
spits
which
were
given
him
in
Tours
by
the
Marquis
de
Noirmontiers
cookes
,
when
he
was
Soliciter
of
his
house
;
and
so
for
want
of
aide
,
the
villanous
Constable
was
as
well
beaten
as
ever
was
Dieret
Chiury
,
when
he
imagined
that
the
blowes
with
a
cudgell
which
were
given
him
,
were
pistols
shot
:
for
Marquis
d'
Ancre
still
laid
on
like
Rovillac
,
and
Luynes
cried
out
as
loud
as
he
could
,
like
Ronsselay
.
at
S.
Germains
Fayre
:
which
was
the
cause
that
Radamanthus
Lackeys
ran
thither
,
and
laid
hold
upon
those
two
champions
,
intending
to
carry
them
before
the
Iudge
to
be
punished
for
their
insolencies
.
Marquis
d'
Ancre
alledged
that
he
was
not
the
man
that
first
brake
the
peace
,
and
spake
them
so
faire
,
that
they
let
him
go
;
in
the
meane
time
du
Travail
came
thither
,
who
fiercely
laid
hold
on
the
Constables
coller
,
in
such
maner
that
I
thought
he
would
have
strangled
him
;
but
when
he
had
set
his
foote
vpon
his
belly
,
and
taken
his
sword
from
him
,
he
ran
away
,
leaving
him
there
in
a
maner
halfe
dead
,
saying
nothing
to
him
,
but
onely
,
Remember
thy selfe
Provinciall
.
I
that
tooke
pitie
to
see
that
Rodomond
favorite
so
hardly
used
,
found
the
meanes
,
that
without
taking
the
advice
of
de
Modenne
or
de
Contade
,
I
puld
him
slily
out
of
their
clawes
,
and
brought
the
gallant
hither
to
make
your
Maiestie
some
sport
.
Truly
,
said
the
King
,
you
have
done
me
good
service
,
let
him
come
in
,
that
we
may
see
that
great
Warrier
and
great
Statesman
all
in
one
.
Whereupon
Colonell
Galatis
with
a
das
tich
Gods
sacrament
,
caused
the
prease
to
open
,
and
therewith
Vitry
brought
him
in
,
every
man
as
well
as
he
could
fixing
their
eyes
upon
him
to
behold
his
physiognomie
.
The
Poet
Desportes
at
his
entring
,
giving
him
a
welcome
according
to
his
Art
,
and
speaking
aloud
,
said
:
Give
place
,
give
place
to
this
companion
,
Who
while
he
liv'd
was
like
a
great
Monarchus
:
But
being
borne
in
Champianion
,
In
Poiteiou
he
was
cut
off
by
Parcus
.
Being
in
the
middle
of
the
companie
,
all
of
them
began
to
crie
,
saying
,
The
fox
,
the
fox
,
wherewith
you
never
saw
villaine
more
ashamed
;
and
after
silence
was
made
,
the
King
askt
him
,
who
he
was
,
I
am
,
said
he
,
the
Constable
of
France
,
your
most
humble
subiect
and
servant
.
Constable
?
said
the
King
;
by
what
title
got
you
that
office
?
it
is
not
aboue
foure
yeares
since
you
were
but
a
Falconer
,
and
in
so
short
a
time
have
you
attained
to
so
high
a
degree
?
you
have
made
great
haste
.
You
must
not
muse
thereat
,
Sir
,
said
Haeren
,
if
hee
had
not
put
me
out
of
countenance
,
I
had
had
as
good
fortune
as
he
.
Hold
your
tongue
,
said
the
King
.
Parmafe
,
and
it
please
your
Maiestie
,
said
M.
William
,
I
could
be
well
content
to
pay
his
breech
with
a
whip
full
of
points
to
be
revenged
on
him
for
the
pension
that
he
tooke
from
me
,
to
give
it
unto
de
Mons
his
brother
in
law
.
Truly
M.
William
,
said
Saroque
,
you
are
misinformed
to
beleeve
such
things
,
my
Lord
Constable
was
not
so
foolish
to
imagine
that
he
could
make
that
small
matter
of
Province
greater
then
it
is
,
notwithstanding
that
he
is
the
most
valiant
man
of
them
all
,
for
he
alone
tooke
Montauban
,
or
else
they
of
Montauban
tooke
him
.
What
extravagant
words
are
these
,
said
the
King
?
give
us
leave
quietly
to
hearken
unto
the
mysticall
discourse
of
this
new
conquerour
.
Sir
,
said
the
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
he
will
but
abuse
you
with
words
,
he
is
a
perfect
lyer
,
command
him
to
go
directly
to
the
matter
,
otherwise
I
cannot
abstain
from
giving
him
a
blow
on
the
lips
at
the
first
lie
he
makes
.
With
that
the
King
turning
to
the
champion
,
said
briefly
unto
him
,
Heare
you
my
Lord
Constable
made
in
haste
,
abuse
not
my
leisure
,
tell
me
all
your
notable
proceedings
,
without
dissimulation
,
if
you
desire
to
finde
mercie
at
my
hands
for
your
misdeeds
:
all
these
gentlemen
know
your
actions
,
and
the
Earle
de
Lude
that
stands
here
,
is
wholy
acquainted
with
your
life
,
go
directly
to
worke
,
otherwise
you
shall
finde
Lugoly
ready
to
give
you
your
hire
.
Sir
,
said
Luynes
,
now
I
perceive
well
that
I
am
undone
,
In
manus
tuas
commendo
spiritum
meum
,
my
processe
is
made
,
and
further
all
these
noble
gentlemen
that
are
here
,
will
never
pardon
me
,
for
that
as
many
Lords
as
are
here
about
your
Majesty
,
are
as
many
witnesses
to
convince
me
of
all
the
perfidious
actions
that
I
have
committed
both
against
the
one
and
the
other
,
and
the
worst
is
,
that
I
haue
not
the
authoritie
Royall
to
cover
my
faults
any
more
,
nor
to
support
my
insolencies
;
I
must
needs
confesse
,
that
I
haue
offended
God
,
the
King
my
master
,
and
all
men
,
and
that
there
is
no
punishment
great
enough
to
recompence
my
deserts
:
but
I
will
gladly
say
with
Caesar
,
Si
violandum
est
ius
,
regnandi
causa
;
all
that
I
haue
done
,
was
not
effected
by
any
wicked
inclination
that
was
in
me
,
but
onely
by
a
generous
ambition
to
raigne
.
I
knew
how
easily
Marquis
d'
Ancre
obtained
the
government
of
the
State
,
I
beleeved
and
was
verily
perswaded
,
that
in
that
point
I
could
doe
more
then
a
stranger
,
that
onely
had
a
woman
to
support
him
,
and
that
I
possessing
the
Kings
heart
,
was
the
more
able
to
dispossesse
all
men
,
and
to
possesse
all
things
:
for
my
designe
was
to
surmount
that
Italian
;
and
if
any
of
my
good
friends
sought
to
divert
me
from
that
generous
enterprise
,
presently
du
Agent
,
Contade
and
Ronsselay
,
cried
out
in
mine
eares
,
saying
,
What
are
you
afraid
of
?
If
Marquis
d'
Ancre
could
make
the
Frenchmen
cullions
,
why
should
not
you
being
a
great
Falconer
take
them
for
birds
?
Audaces
fortuna
invat
,
said
my
father
in
law
;
we
must
draw
water
when
we
are
at
the
well
side
,
said
my
wife
;
we
are
of
the
same
kind
of
wood
whereof
men
make
Princes
,
said
my
brethren
;
and
I
said
Modene
,
of
the
same
that
the
Marshals
of
France
are
made
.
All
these
motions
encouraged
me
,
and
in
truth
my
first
bringing
up
to
fowling
taught
me
so
well
to
flie
,
that
in
foure
yeares
space
I
surpast
all
those
that
medled
with
the
affaires
of
State
before
me
.
I
caused
Marquis
d'
Ancre
to
be
kild
,
to
haue
his
place
;
I
vrged
the
Parliament
to
put
his
wife
to
death
,
that
I
might
haue
his
goods
.
I
kept
the
Queene
mother
as
much
as
I
could
from
the
presence
and
favour
of
the
King
her
sonne
,
that
I
might
onely
enioy
it
.
I
kept
the
Prince
of
Conde
prisoner
,
and
let
him
not
come
forth
,
but
then
when
I
thought
he
could
no
more
hurt
me
,
and
that
he
might
serve
my
turne
.
I
vsed
charmes
to
trouble
the
spirit
of
the
King
and
of
the
Queene
,
employing
Boisgandrie
to
that
effect
,
whom
I
caused
to
be
committed
prisoner
in
the
Bastile
,
because
he
would
have
disclosed
me
.
I
set
division
among
the
Princes
,
and
estranged
them
all
from
the
Kings
favour
.
I
abused
all
those
that
had
any
thing
to
do
with
me
,
with
promises
and
faire
words
.
All
places
that
were
voide
,
I
got
into
my
hands
.
With
the
Kings
mony
I
bought
all
the
governments
that
I
could
get
;
and
constrained
some
to
yeeld
theirs
unto
me
.
I
had
whole
Provinces
under
my
obedience
;
there
is
no
part
of
the
Realme
,
but
therein
I
have
townes
.
I
have
drawne
France
drie
of
mony
.
The
greatest
part
of
the
Kings
domaines
is
mine
,
or
my
brethrens
.
I
did
absolutely
dispose
of
the
sale
of
offices
;
and
as
I
disanulled
the
annuall
right
,
I
also
established
it
.
I
made
all
mine
enemies
stoupe
,
and
as
much
as
I
could
,
I
made
all
the
world
know
what
power
I
had
over
the
genius
of
the
King
,
that
men
might
addresse
themselves
vnto
me
,
and
be
perswaded
that
the
King
could
do
nothing
without
me
.
This
,
Sir
,
is
that
whereof
I
may
be
accused
:
but
he
that
will
consider
of
that
which
resteth
,
without
passion
,
he
shall
finde
that
these
are
not
actions
of
a
dull
spirit
,
but
of
a
brave
courage
,
which
rather
deserve
commendation
then
blame
,
and
for
the
which
I
was
never
reproved
by
my
Confessor
.
Marquis
d'
Ancre
could
never
equalize
himselfe
with
me
in
this
respect
;
his
designes
were
base
in
regard
of
mine
;
he
could
not
attaine
to
any
degree
,
but
onely
to
be
Marshall
of
France
,
and
I
for
my
part
made
at
least
twelve
Marshals
.
He
could
neither
make
himselfe
Knight
of
the
Order
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
nor
Duke
;
and
all
you
my
Lords
that
are
here
know
well
,
that
I
gaue
that
Order
to
whom
I
would
,
and
that
I
made
more
Dukes
then
there
are
sparrow-hawkes
in
the
Kings
Mewes
,
and
so
many
,
that
the
Parliament
of
Paris
was
forced
to
say
,
it
was
too
much
.
But
those
foure
cornerd
caps
know
not
,
that
my
intent
was
to
extirpe
the
heretickes
;
and
that
for
so
dangerous
a
warre
I
had
need
of
many
Dukes
,
Marshals
and
Knights
,
to
honour
the
Constables
sword
which
I
reserved
for
my selfe
,
by
the
Iesuites
counsel
,
and
his
Holinesse
himselfe
,
who
assured
me
by
his
Nuncius
,
that
if
I
undertooke
that
Catholicke
designe
,
that
heauen
would
reserve
the
diademe
and
the
purple
for
me
,
as
in
effect
I
wanted
not
the
latter
;
and
if
I
had
not
bin
constrained
to
leaue
the
siege
before
that
cursed
towne
of
Montauban
,
the
accomplishment
of
destinie
had
given
me
the
Scepter
.
I
doubt
not
,
Sir
,
but
you
haue
bin
entertained
with
a
thousand
iests
touching
the
impertinent
proceedings
of
my
militarie
exploits
,
and
specially
upon
the
subiect
of
my
approches
made
before
ville
Burbon
.
I
take
not
upon
me
to
defend
my selfe
against
bad
speeches
,
it
sufficeth
me
that
my
actions
seemed
to
be
heroicall
,
and
my
designes
haughtie
.
Further
,
I
care
li●●…e
what
the
world
can
say
,
and
that
is
it
which
I
wrote
for
an
answer
to
a
letter
sent
us
by
our
most
deare
vncle
the
Duke
de
Modene
in
France
,
touching
the
slanders
that
were
published
in
Toulouse
against
me
and
my
qualitie
;
I
could
easily
haue
restrained
and
punished
the
libertie
of
such
tongues
,
but
like
an
old
Courtier
,
I
use
not
to
be
afraid
of
reports
,
as
I
made
it
well
appeare
in
the
strongest
assaults
of
the
siege
before
that
filthy
towne
,
where
I
refrained
not
from
sleeping
sweetly
in
my
bed
,
notwithstanding
the
roaring
of
the
cannons
,
upon
the
assurance
that
I
had
that
they
could
not
hurt
me
.
Did
not
the
souldiers
call
my
quarter
,
the
place
of
villanie
?
but
for
all
that
I
never
made
lesse
cheare
.
They
also
mockt
my
wife
as
often
as
she
came
to
visit
me
in
the
campe
,
in
mockery
saying
,
that
she
went
oftener
to
combat
with
me
,
then
I
did
with
the
enemie
:
but
such
reproches
moved
me
not
,
seeing
that
my
wife
and
I
had
no
other
intent
but
to
do
well
,
as
we
alwayes
did
well
,
thankes
be
to
God
;
and
beleeue
me
,
Sir
,
that
those
malicious
evill
speakers
spake
but
of
envie
,
as
grieved
to
see
us
take
our
pleasures
,
while
they
were
at
blowes
,
and
by
the
eares
together
in
the
trenches
like
rascals
,
suffering
themselves
to
be
beaten
,
which
made
them
vomit
out
their
rage
,
not
onely
against
me
,
but
also
against
my
brethren
and
their
wives
,
who
like
true
Amazons
never
fainted
in
all
the
combats
wherein
they
happened
to
be
,
encouraged
thereunto
by
the
wise
discourses
of
Madame
de
Guimbarde
and
of
my
sister
du
Vernet
the
true
mirrour
of
chastitie
,
of
whom
I
learned
never
to
be
angry
for
that
which
men
said
,
so
I
do
well
.
This
also
that
I
shew
you
,
Sir
,
is
not
to
give
you
cause
to
thinke
that
such
things
grieved
me
not
much
,
but
onely
to
make
my
great
patience
,
my
exceeding
bountie
,
the
force
of
my
spirit
,
and
the
gentlenesse
of
my
courage
apparent
.
Who
but
my selfe
(
except
the
Duke
de
Vzes
)
would
not
haue
sunke
under
the
burthen
of
the
continual
watchings
and
paines
which
I
endured
in
the
conduction
of
this
warre
?
Like
another
Atlas
,
I
was
forced
to
beare
all
the
burthen
of
the
Realme
vpon
my
shoulders
,
ordaine
all
,
provide
for
all
,
resolve
upon
all
,
and
besides
that
was
charged
not
onely
with
the
affaires
of
the
Realme
,
but
also
with
Gods
cause
,
which
particularly
was
to
be
respected
in
that
holy
enterprise
,
as
father
Arnoux
assured
me
,
and
the
holy
Earle
of
Fiasque
that
stands
there
,
who
oftentimes
told
me
in
my
eares
,
that
it
was
revealed
unto
him
when
hee
was
a
Capucin
,
which
was
the
cause
that
made
him
leave
the
habit
,
once
againe
to
employ
his
sword
,
and
weare
temporal
apparell
,
and
for
my
particuler
that
was
the
cause
that
made
me
imbarke
my selfe
therein
,
with
so
much
more
zeale
as
I
saw
the
successe
to
be
easie
,
the
conquest
glorious
,
and
the
spoiles
profitable
for
my
glorie
.
What
better
beginning
could
your
Maiestie
have
wished
,
then
the
first
progresse
of
our
victories
?
Blinde
Morney
at
our
first
arrivall
did
obedience
unto
us
;
we
did
rigorously
punish
the
rebellion
of
those
of
S.
Iohn
;
we
powred
our
curse
upon
Pons
;
we
cast
the
arrowes
of
our
anger
upon
Clerac
,
where
we
had
that
good
lucke
to
rid
our selves
of
that
brave
Marquis
de
Termes
,
upon
which
subiect
father
Arnoux
and
I
wrote
two
comfortable
letters
to
Monsieur
le
Grand
in
most
eloquent
maner
.
In
every
place
they
brought
us
the
keyes
of
the
townes
.
They
of
Toulonze
came
in
great
haste
to
offer
us
their
armes
and
their
lives
,
with
a
good
summe
of
money
,
to
move
us
in
all
haste
to
besiege
that
execrable
towne
of
Montauban
,
which
at
my
first
arivall
I
thought
to
take
with
a
lure
,
like
a
hungrie
sparrow-hawke
;
and
I
wil
confidently
tell
your
Maiestie
,
that
I
had
determined
to
have
erected
it
in
a
Duchie
for
my
sonne
,
as
to
seale
the
letters
patents
my selfe
,
with
an
addition
of
the
Earledomes
of
Armagnac
and
Albert
;
that
was
the
cause
that
I
could
not
consent
to
the
ruine
of
the
brave
fortifications
of
that
place
,
desiring
to
make
use
of
them
for
my selfe
.
And
to
minister
some
comfort
to
those
of
Toulouse
for
their
mony
which
I
had
sent
to
the
Castle
of
Blaye
,
I
and
my
brethren
had
devised
to
take
the
Hugonet
throne
out
of
their
feete
,
and
to
place
another
Catholicke
therein
,
which
we
had
happily
done
,
if
those
of
Montauban
would
have
beleeved
us
,
or
at
least
have
suffered
us
to
do
as
la
Faydeau
.
To
conclude
,
Sir
,
what
have
I
not
done
to
have
an
honorable
issue
of
that
miserable
siege
,
all
the
inventions
in
the
world
were
there
put
in
practise
.
What
have
I
not
promised
to
the
third
and
fourth
?
What
can
men
reproch
me
of
,
but
onely
that
I
was
not
at
the
trenches
?
Alas
,
it
was
my
onely
desire
not
to
stirre
;
but
these
gentlemen
here
present
know
,
that
it
was
impossible
for
me
,
in
respect
of
the
continuall
employments
that
I
had
about
the
Seales
.
I
trusted
touching
the
warre
,
to
the
generositie
of
this
valiant
Duke
de
Mayenne
,
whom
we
have
thereby
caused
to
see
the
ioyes
of
Paradise
,
and
in
recompence
thereof
he
hath
made
us
heires
of
that
hee
left
in
the
camp
.
It
is
true
,
that
to
lure
the
world
like
a
hawke
,
we
caused
the
government
of
Guyenne
to
fall
into
the
Prince
the
Kings
brothers
hands
,
but
I
would
never
seale
his
letters
patents
for
the
same
,
that
he
might
still
be
like
Lent
,
and
my
brother
Branthe
like
Shrovetide
,
that
is
,
Lent
taking
her
beginning
.
Thus
we
made
our
profit
a
thousand
ways
,
by
the
hurt
and
disgrace
of
others
.
If
we
had
a
care
of
our
owne
lives
,
we
had
no
lesse
of
the
soldiers
;
having
sought
as
much
as
possibly
we
might
,
all
gentle
meanes
and
practises
to
overcome
those
rebels
,
before
we
would
proceed
unto
extremities
.
Did
not
I
with
great
care
and
diligence
cause
father
Dominicke
de
Iesus
Maria
to
come
into
the
armie
,
beleeving
that
his
holy
prayers
would
make
the
taking
of
that
place
the
more
easie
,
and
that
he
would
make
a
second
S.
Bartholmewes
day
of
the
Huguenots
in
Paris
.
And
if
he
hath
thought
much
to
doe
as
much
for
France
before
Montauban
,
as
he
did
for
Spaine
before
Prague
,
I
could
not
do
withall
;
I
did
the
best
I
could
to
keep
him
there
,
that
his
presence
might
animate
the
souldiers
,
and
convert
those
headstrong
heretickes
,
which
father
Arnoux
a
true
spirituall
mirror
did
not
well
like
of
,
alledging
that
it
was
sufficient
to
have
one
Charlatan
in
the
Court
,
in
the
meane
time
all
is
laid
upon
me
,
although
I
am
innocent
of
the
unfortunate
successe
of
the
siege
.
What
shall
I
say
more
,
did
I
not
invent
a
subtill
stratageme
,
therewith
to
mollifie
the
hearts
of
those
rebels
,
that
is
the
miraculous
hanging
of
that
villanous
spie
,
that
brake
the
rope
three
times
upon
the
gallowes
?
nevertheles
they
within
the
towne
,
as
also
a
great
part
of
the
armie
,
would
not
beleeve
that
miracle
,
because
he
rather
commended
himselfe
to
our
Lady
of
Monferrat
in
Spaine
,
then
to
the
good
Lady
de
Liesse
in
France
.
Further
,
my
brethren
and
I
made
provision
of
a
great
number
of
invisible
regiments
,
but
it
was
reported
that
we
would
put
them
into
our
owne
purses
,
whereas
our
designe
was
to
serve
our
turnes
with
them
,
to
cast
them
invisibly
into
the
towne
,
thereby
to
take
it
the
easier
.
And
if
we
failed
therein
,
I
am
no
more
the
cause
thereof
,
then
of
the
raine
and
sicknesse
which
continually
troubled
the
soldiers
,
and
which
made
an
end
of
setting
us
forth
.
No
,
Sir
,
I
cannot
warrant
men
against
the
works
of
God
,
no
more
then
I
can
from
those
which
are
imputed
unto
me
,
by
meanes
of
my
ambition
and
villanie
;
but
if
I
had
lived
a
litle
longer
,
I
would
haue
made
all
the
world
see
and
perceiue
that
I
intended
to
be
a
souldier
.
I
confesse
that
I
was
but
a
new
beginner
in
the
Art
,
when
I
made
my selfe
Constable
,
and
that
I
had
never
seene
siege
nor
battell
,
but
I
was
resolved
this
Winter
to
learne
the
military
Art
with
all
perfection
,
in
stead
of
practising
to
dance
.
The
Baron
de
Caban
,
otherwise
called
de
Maine
,
having
promised
me
in
three
moneths
space
to
make
me
as
good
a
Captain
as
himself
,
who
of
a
Musition
in
two
yeares
became
a
great
warrier
,
whatsoever
the
Marshall
de
Roquelauere
said
,
who
in
despight
that
I
employed
him
in
the
siege
of
Monheur
,
sware
,
cap
de
Bions
,
that
he
would
not
go
to
the
warre
with
a
Musition
:
and
being
taught
by
so
good
a
maister
,
this
Spring
time
I
wold
have
paid
those
of
Montauban
,
but
God
did
prevent
me
in
all
my
designes
.
Truly
,
said
the
King
,
your
discourses
are
notable
,
but
your
actions
are
not
much
worth
,
such
men
as
you
are
alwayes
punished
by
the
hand
of
God
;
get
you
away
out
of
my
presence
,
and
let
me
see
you
no
more
.
After
that
,
the
King
taking
the
advice
of
his
old
servants
,
ordained
,
that
as
Luynes
had
plaid
with
great
personages
in
his
life
time
,
he
would
haue
him
serve
to
make
them
sport
after
his
death
,
and
therefore
appointed
him
to
carrie
fourmes
every
time
that
they
ran
at
the
Ring
,
or
with
their
Lances
;
and
to
begin
his
prentiseship
,
that
he
should
be
delivered
into
the
hands
of
the
Duke
de
Mayennes
pages
.
According
to
this
decree
he
was
presently
laid
hold
on
,
who
then
speaking
to
the
Cardinall
de
Guise
,
shewed
him
that
he
died
without
confession
and
receiving
of
the
Sacrament
,
praying
him
to
give
him
absolution
for
his
sins
.
To
whom
do
you
speake
,
said
the
Cardinall
?
do
you
not
know
that
I
am
no
Priest
?
Then
he
turned
to
the
Bishop
of
Marselles
,
to
whom
he
made
the
like
request
.
And
he
made
him
the
like
answer
that
the
Cardinall
had
done
,
adding
further
&
saying
,
Before
you
went
out
of
the
other
world
you
should
have
caused
your selfe
to
be
absolved
by
the
Cardinall
de
Rets
your
creature
,
or
rather
by
the
Bishop
of
Lusson
your
kinsman
,
hee
would
never
have
denied
you
his
blessing
,
notwithstanding
that
you
put
him
beside
the
Cardinals
hat
,
so
you
had
promised
him
upon
the
securitie
of
Marillac
and
le
Seq
.
to
abstaine
from
making
pernicious
reports
unto
the
King
,
thereby
to
alienate
the
good
will
which
his
Maiestie
beareth
to
the
Queene
his
mother
;
as
for
me
,
I
cannot
helpe
you
,
save
your selfe
as
well
as
you
can
.
With
that
the
late
Marshall
de
Rets
went
to
Luynes
,
and
speaking
unto
him
in
his
eare
,
said
,
Alas
poore
foole
,
thou
shouldst
have
pluckt
the
goose
without
crying
like
me
;
if
with
humilitie
thou
hast
honored
the
great
personages
,
they
would
have
upholden
thee
,
and
thou
hadst
enioyed
thy
fortunes
with
securitie
.
Then
turning
his
head
here
and
there
about
him
,
hee
perceived
the
late
Earle
de
Lude
,
which
three
times
he
called
his
good
maister
,
of
whom
hee
asked
pardon
for
the
ducale
perfidiousnes
which
he
offered
unto
him
being
in
Touraine
.
Then
he
said
to
the
Bishop
of
Carcassone
,
Monsieur
my
good
benefactor
,
if
ever
you
tooke
pitie
on
the
affliction
of
a
miserable
person
,
I
coniure
you
to
take
the
paines
to
advertise
my
brethren
to
take
example
by
me
,
that
they
may
governe
themselves
more
wisely
then
I
have
done
,
if
they
desire
to
escape
the
shipwracke
that
I
have
endured
,
and
before
all
things
that
they
suffer
not
my
bodie
to
passe
through
Paris
,
lest
it
should
receive
the
same
entertainment
that
the
body
of
the
Marquis
d'
Ancre
had
.
As
he
spake
those
last
words
,
Losieres
Themines
sonne
came
unto
him
,
and
said
,
Comfort
your selfe
in
your
misfortunes
,
your
brethren
labour
for
their
conservation
,
they
yeeld
not
themselves
,
I
bring
you
great
store
of
news
,
you
are
not
the
Keeper
of
the
Seales
,
Monsieur
de
Virg
hath
your
place
:
all
shall
go
well
,
it
seemes
that
he
&
his
are
in
some
sort
bound
to
support
your
house
;
but
if
the
chance
should
turne
,
I
advise
you
in
good
time
that
I
will
be
suretie
no
longer
.
Further
,
since
your
departure
,
the
King
hath
benignely
entertained
all
his
friends
,
and
looketh
on
his
servants
with
a
kinde
countenance
;
there
is
free
accesse
unto
his
Maiestie
,
he
goes
every
day
to
sit
with
the
Councell
;
I
could
tell
you
more
,
but
I
must
go
to
salute
the
King
;
farewell
,
and
remember
that
for
want
of
balme
they
have
your
body
with
long
barks
of
trees
.
The
Pages
that
as
then
layd
hold
on
the
necke
and
breeches
of
their
apprentice
,
would
suffer
him
to
speake
no
more
,
every
one
of
them
teaching
him
a
lesson
as
they
thought
good
.
The
Parisians
never
tooke
greater
pleasure
to
see
the
Marquis
d'
Ancres
body
drawne
about
the
citie
,
then
all
the
spirits
in
the
Elizian
fields
had
to
see
that
brave
Constable
so
instructed
and
taught
by
those
good
schoole-masters
,
who
in
lesse
then
an
houres
space
made
him
a
martyr
at
least
twentie
times
,
and
yet
kild
him
not
.
To
conclude
,
du
Bourdet
brought
him
a
writing
to
set
vpon
his
backe
,
containing
these
words
:
Long
be
this
apprentice
lived
,
Whose
spirit
hath
not
deceived
The
hope
of
our
progenitors
:
He
is
fit
for
a
Porter
,
without
doubt
,
And
in
short
time
it
will
fall
out
,
He
will
be
capable
to
teach
his
brothers
.
The
iudgement
given
,
all
the
Lords
tooke
their
leave
of
the
King
,
and
as
they
returned
with
Zamet
their
guide
,
the
Marquis
de
Termes
espied
a
man
that
sate
writing
vnder
a
great
olive
tree
:
wherewith
hee
asked
,
if
in
that
country
there
were
any
Sollicitors
or
Attourneys
,
that
lived
by
pleading
other
mens
causes
.
None
at
all
,
said
Zamet
.
What
then
,
said
he
,
doth
this
writer
here
?
And
going
neare
unto
him
,
they
knew
it
was
Marshall
de
Beron
,
who
was
so
earnestly
studying
,
that
he
thought
upon
nothing
else
.
De
Termes
seeing
him
to
be
in
that
humour
,
went
softly
behind
him
,
after
the
maner
of
great
personages
in
the
Court
,
and
laid
his
hand
upon
his
shoulder
.
Wherewith
the
Marshall
in
great
choler
,
said
,
What
is
he
that
toucheth
me
?
and
looking
backe
,
saw
the
Marquis
.
Wherewith
changing
his
choler
into
gladnesse
,
he
embraced
him
friendly
,
asking
him
,
if
he
were
one
of
those
gentlemen
of
Montauban
.
No
,
said
de
Termes
,
I
am
of
Clerac
.
What
in
Gods
name
make
you
here
?
said
the
Marshall
.
And
what
goodly
passion
,
said
de
Termes
,
ravisheth
you
into
such
an
extasie
?
Cap
de
Bions
,
said
he
,
I
was
in
a
deepe
humour
of
Poetrie
,
and
was
studying
to
make
verses
for
an
Epitaph
to
be
set
vpon
your
tombes
.
What
,
are
you
a
Poet
,
said
de
Termes
?
No
,
said
Biron
,
but
there
being
no
warre
in
this
country
,
sometimes
I
have
a
conceit
to
passe
the
time
in
Poetry
,
like
my
Lady
de
Rosau
.
I
pray
you
then
,
said
de
Termes
,
let
us
see
something
of
your
doing
,
as
well
as
my
Lady
d'Entragues
.
Pardions
I
am
content
,
said
the
Marshall
,
I
was
but
beginning
;
see
here
is
that
which
I
have
done
;
I
pray
you
tell
me
truly
whether
I
have
done
it
fitly
or
no
,
and
heare
it
without
passion
.
Here
lieth
a
company
of
fooles
,
in
respect
of
warriers
brave
,
That
in
the
middle
of
their
foes
did
lose
their
lives
,
While
three
cowards
,
authors
of
the
warre
we
have
,
Meerly
past
the
time
in
riding
of
their
wives
.
Truly
,
said
de
Termes
,
you
use
us
unworthily
.
Morbions
,
said
the
Marshall
,
what
,
do
I
not
say
the
truth
?
Are
you
not
great
fooles
,
that
suffered
your selves
to
be
slaine
for
a
companie
of
dastards
that
serve
their
owne
turnes
,
under
pretence
of
religion
,
to
establish
their
future
greatnesse
at
your
costs
and
charges
.
Cap
de
Bions
,
what
blowes
with
my
sword
would
I
have
laid
about
their
eares
,
if
I
had
bin
in
their
places
.
Monsieur
d'Espernon
is
a
subtill
Catholik
,
he
besieged
Rochell
afarre
off
,
and
upon
Pont
neuf
there
were
more
overthrowes
given
by
him
,
then
by
any
other
in
France
;
but
tell
me
,
I
pray
you
,
are
not
the
Iesuites
ashamed
that
they
preacht
against
him
during
the
league
,
in
their
pulpits
calling
him
Astarot
and
Arch-hereticke
,
and
yet
in
the
meane
time
they
must
confesse
,
that
at
this
day
he
is
one
of
the
pilars
of
the
faith
,
although
he
be
the
same
that
he
was
,
were
they
exclaimed
against
his
person
,
onely
that
in
those
times
he
was
none
of
the
companie
,
as
he
is
at
this
present
.
Mafoy
,
said
the
Marquis
,
I
must
confesse
that
Mousieur
d'Espernon
is
a
Mathos
,
and
one
that
can
manage
his
affaires
better
then
any
other
in
the
Court
;
it
is
true
that
Luynes
hath
given
him
many
bad
nights
,
but
the
fathers
have
recompenced
all
that
.
While
these
things
past
,
the
King
withdrew
himselfe
into
his
chamber
,
where
having
wept
long
time
for
the
griefe
that
he
had
for
the
miseries
of
France
,
praying
unto
God
to
divert
the
stormes
thereof
from
it
;
he
calld
for
his
most
confident
servants
,
with
whom
he
conferred
touching
the
disorders
of
the
Realme
,
and
then
said
with
a
loud
voice
,
God
helpe
the
bountie
of
my
sonne
,
and
give
him
grace
speedily
to
roote
out
the
pernicious
factions
of
such
Favorites
.
Now
I
am
truly
informed
of
the
lamentable
affaires
,
into
the
extremitie
whereof
his
Crowne
is
plunged
,
I
can
speake
pertinently
with
the
experience
that
I
have
of
things
past
.
This
then
is
that
which
me
thinkes
the
King
my
sonne
should
do
,
as
well
for
his
owne
preservation
,
as
for
the
tranquillitie
of
his
subiects
.
First
,
he
ought
to
respect
those
that
give
him
good
counsell
,
which
is
the
soule
of
every
monarchie
.
I
am
not
of
opinion
,
that
he
should
give
my
wife
the
sole
direction
of
his
affaires
;
neither
that
my
nephew
the
Prince
of
Cende
should
have
it
,
in
that
respect
he
ought
to
shun
iealousie
:
it
is
requisite
that
euery
one
,
as
neare
as
may
be
,
should
participate
both
in
the
honors
and
in
the
care
,
and
that
every
one
in
generall
should
contribute
towards
the
relieving
of
the
Flowers
de
Lis.
My
iudgement
,
to
prevent
and
withstand
the
continual
disorders
that
have
troubled
France
since
my
death
,
is
,
That
my
sonne
should
make
a
Councell
,
not
of
Favorites
,
but
of
those
who
by
blood
and
affection
have
a
particular
interest
in
the
preservation
of
his
person
and
of
his
State
.
That
he
commit
part
of
the
managing
of
the
State
affairs
,
to
the
Queene
his
mother
.
That
he
shall
hold
her
in
good
correspondence
with
himselfe
,
and
my
nephewes
de
Conde
and
de
Soissons
neare
unto
him
.
That
he
should
manage
all
things
by
order
of
the
Councell
,
and
with
pluralitie
of
voices
.
That
he
shall
referre
himselfe
to
the
prudent
advice
of
the
old
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
and
officers
of
the
Crowne
,
that
served
me
.
That
he
shall
commit
the
ordering
of
his
conscience
to
some
good
Doctor
.
That
he
should
embrace
the
ancient
Sorbonites
,
and
put
the
new
Transmontaine
Theologians
from
him
.
That
by
litle
&
litle
he
shall
lessen
his
great
charges
.
That
he
shall
protect
those
of
his
blood
.
That
he
shall
not
neglect
his
Parliaments
.
That
he
shall
take
Luynes
lands
and
goods
to
supply
his
necessities
,
and
for
the
comfort
of
the
poore
people
.
That
he
shall
cause
the
citadell
of
Amiens
to
be
opened
on
that
side
towards
the
Town
,
to
prevent
the
inconveniences
which
one
day
that
fort
may
cause
,
and
take
an
Inventorie
of
the
great
riches
which
are
in
that
place
,
as
also
in
La
Fere
,
Calais
,
and
Blaye
.
That

all
the
governments
which
the

&
faithful
servants
.
That
he
shall
drive
all
their
kindred

authoritie
hold
and
maintaine
the
Edicts
of
Parliament
.
That
he
shall
conserve
the
ancient
alliances
of
the
Crowne
.
That
he
shall
stop
his
eares
against
factious
strangers
.
That
he
shal
call
to
mind
the
dangerous
publick
happened
within
these
foure
yeares
within
Paris
,
as
signes
sent
by
God
to
warne
us
of
the
scourges
that
threaten
France
.
That
he
shall
take
heed
of
,
and
shun
civil
warre
,
which
cannot
chuse
but
procure
the
ruine
of
his
affaires
and
of
his
people
,
while
his
neighbour
seeks
all
the
meanes
he
can
to
preiudice
his
Realme
.
That
he
must
call
to
minde
the
Ambassage
of
Bassompiere
in
Spaine
,
and
of
the
breach
of
promise
made
touching
Valtolina
.
That
he
must
have
an
eye
unto
the
designes
of
strangers
,
who
under
pretence
of
religion
,
aspire
unto
the
dissipation
of
his
state
.
That
he
shall
procure
peace
unto
his
people
.
That
he
must
recompence
those
that
deserve
it
,
and
punish
those
that
are
wicked
.
And
doing
so
,
God
will
blesse
him
,
the
Crowne
shall
flourish
,
his
country
will
be
enriched
,
his
friends
will
love
him
,
his
subiects
serve
him
,
and
his
neigbours
feare
him
.
