Of
the
Present
KING
,
and
of
the
Title
,
Stile
,
and
Prerogatives
of
the
KINGS
of
France
.
THE
Present
King
,
is
named
Lewis
the
Great
,
the
Fourteenth
of
that
Name
,
King
of
France
and
Navarre
,
Son
of
Lewis
the
Thirteenth
,
Surnamed
the
Just
,
and
Grand-child
of
Henry
the
Great
.
Many
have
called
our
Most
August
Monarch
,
God-given
,
for
his
happy
Birth
granted
to
the
Prayers
of
the
French
after
twenty
three
years
expectation
.
He
was
Born
of
Queen
Anne
of
Austria
,
at
St.
Germans
en
Lay
,
the
5th
of
September
1638.
and
succeeded
the
King
his
Father
the
14th
of
May
,
1643.
He
was
declared
Major
,
or
at
Age
,
the
7th
of
September
,
1651.
Consecrated
at
Reims
1654
,
and
Married
at
St.
John
de
Luz's
,
the
9th
of
the
same
Month
1660.
As
to
his
Consecration
,
or
Anointing
,
(
for
so
the
French
call
the
Coronation
of
their
Kings
)
though
the
Medals
made
on
that
occasion
bear
date
the
31th
of
May
,
you
are
to
remark
that
it
was
not
performed
till
the
7th
of
June
,
of
the
said
Year
1654.
I
thought
I
could
not
give
you
a
more
faithful
Draught
of
the
Person
of
our
Invincible
Monarch
,
than
that
which
I
have
borrowed
from
the
words
of
the
late
Archbishop
of
Paris
,
in
the
History
that
Illustrious
and
Learned
Prelate
composed
of
Henry
the
Great
.
Yes
,
Sir
,
(
saith
he
to
him
)
Heaven
has
given
you
a
generous
,
good
,
and
bounteous
Soul
,
a
Wit
sublime
,
and
capable
of
the
greatest
things
,
an
happy
and
easy
Memory
,
an
Heroick
and
Martial
Courage
,
a
clear
and
solid
Judgment
,
a
strong
and
vigorous
Body
,
and
over
and
above
all
this
,
another
very
particular
advantage
,
and
that
is
,
That
Majestic
Presence
,
that
Air
and
Gate
almost
Divine
,
that
shape
and
that
beauty
worthy
of
the
Empire
of
the
Vniverse
,
that
attracts
the
Eyes
and
Respect
of
the
whole
World
,
and
which
without
the
Force
of
Arms
,
and
without
the
Authority
of
Commands
,
wins
you
all
those
to
whom
your
Majesty
is
pleased
to
shew
your Self
.
The
King
of
France
is
called
Most
Christian
,
for
the
great
and
Signal
Services
,
received
by
the
Church
and
the
Holy
See
,
from
this
Crown
.
He
is
also
,
for
the
same
reason
,
stiled
the
Eldest
Son
of
the
Church
,
and
by
several
Bulls
of
Popes
,
a
priviledge
has
been
granted
to
the
Kings
of
France
,
that
they
should
not
be
liable
to
Excommunication
,
nor
their
Subjects
absolved
of
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
due
to
them
.
This
Monarch
is
[
in
point
of
precedence
]
the
first
King
of
Christendom
,
notwithstanding
the
opposition
of
the
Kings
of
Spain
,
who
never
disputed
,
or
did
so
much
as
take
place
next
after
our
Kings
before
the
time
of
the
Emperour
Charles
the
Fifth
,
and
then
other
Kings
preceded
them
.
It
is
true
indeed
,
that
that
Emperour
,
being
likewise
King
of
Spain
,
because
his
Ministers
and
Ambassadours
preceded
those
of
France
,
as
representing
the
Emperour
;
the
Spaniards
under
his
Successour
Philip
the
Second
,
who
was
only
King
of
Spain
,
endeavoured
under
that
pretence
in
the
Year
1558.
at
Venice
,
to
gain
the
Precedence
of
France
;
but
that
Republick
regulated
that
dispute
,
and
ordered
the
Precedence
to
be
continued
to
the
Ambassadours
of
France
,
as
Pope
Paul
the
Fourth
had
done
before
:
And
Philip
the
Fourth
the
King
of
Spain
last
deceased
,
agreed
to
it
,
by
the
satisfaction
he
caused
to
be
made
to
the
King
of
France
by
the
Marquess
de
la
Fuente
,
his
Ambassadour
Extraordinary
,
in
the
presence
of
eight
Ambassadours
,
and
twenty
two
Residents
or
Agents
,
the
24th
of
March
1662.
for
the
Assault
made
by
his
Ambassadour
on
ours
in
England
,
in
October
1661.
The
Title
of
the
King
of
France
is
so
Excellent
,
and
so
much
exalted
above
that
of
other
Kings
,
that
Suidas
,
an
ancient
Greek
Author
,
writes
,
that
in
the
World
,
when
it
is
said
,
only
the
King
,
without
naming
who
,
it
was
meant
of
the
King
of
France
:
Matthew
Paris
calls
him
,
Terrestrium
Rex
Regum
,
the
King
of
Earthly
Kings
;
And
Bodin
says
,
that
that
King
is
Emperour
in
France
:
and
many
assert
it
to
be
a
common
notion
of
all
the
Nations
of
the
World
,
that
the
Quality
of
King
is
much
more
sublime
than
that
of
Emperour
.
Pope
Gregory
the
first
,
lib.
9.
Ep.
6.
Writing
to
Childebert
King
of
France
,
says
,
that
the
Kings
of
France
as
much
surpass
all
other
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
as
the
Royal
Dignity
is
exalted
above
the
rest
of
men
.

But
because
the

,
we
shall
leave
it
,
to
speak
of
that
of
James
of

,
Earl
of

.
James
of

,
Earl
of

,
the
Eldest
was
Charles
Count
,
and
made
Duke
of

by
King
Francis
the
First
.
Charles
the
First

,
Duke
of

,
had
seven
Male
Children
by
Francise
,
Daughter
of
Renie
,
Duke
of
Alencon
,
of
which
,
there
were
but
two
that
left
Issue
:
viz.
Antony

,
who
succeeded
him
as
first
Heir
,
and
was
afterward
King

,
and

Prince
of

,
Duke

,
Marquess
of
Conti
,
Count
of
Soissons
,
which
latter
had
among
other
Children
,
Henry
the
First
of
that
Name
,
Prince
of
Condé
,
whose
Son
,
Henry
the
Second
,
Prince
of
Condé
,
was
Father
of
Lewis
of
Bourbon
,
Prince
of
Condé
,
of
Armand
of
Bourbon
,
late
Prince
of
Conti
,
and
of
Anne-Geneveve
of
Bourbon
,
Dutchess
of
Longueville
,
who
had
Children
,
as
we
shall
say
afterward
.
Antony

Duke
of

,
had
by
Joan
d'

,
Father
of

,
and
Grandfather
of
Lewis
our
glorious
Monarch
,
who
by
his
great
Actions
,
as
well
as
his
Grandfather
has
acquired
to
himself
the
Surname
of
Great
.
You
are
to
remark
,
that
as
soon
as
any
Branch
of
the
Blood
Royal
comes
to
the
Crown
,
that
they
quit
their
former
Surnames
,
and
take
up
that
of
France
:
So
,
the
King
stiles
himself
Lewis
of
France
,
and
not
of
Bourbon
(
in
which
several
people
have
been
mistaken
)
and
Monsieur
,
Philip
of
France
,
&c.
though
they
Sign
only
with
their
Christian-Name
,
without
adding
of
France
.
CHAP.
V.
Of
the
Children
of
France
.
THE
Children
of
France
are
only
the
Kings
Children
,
the
Children
of
the
Dauphin
,
or
the
Kings
Eldest
Son
,
and
the
Kings
Brothers
or
Sisters
,
and
the
Brothers
Children
,
the
Sisters
being
always
either
Married
abroad
,
or
made
Religious
:
all
others
of
the
Royal
Family
are
called
Princes
of
the
Blood
.
The
first
Son
of
the
Kings
of
France
is
called
the
Dauphin
,
and
the
second
Son
of
France
is
called
Monsieur
,
without
addition
of
any
other
Title
.
But
after
the
Dolphin
,
his
younger
Brethren
are
Dukes
of
Orleans
,
of
Anjou
,
of
Alencon
,
of
Valois
,
of
Touraine
,
of
Berry
,
of
Ponthieu
,
and
other
Apanages
;
these
younger
bear
the
Surname
of
France
,
and
Sign
only
with
their
proper
Names
,
as
the
King
does
,
so
likewise
do
the
Daughters
of
France
,
who
are
stiled
Ladies
.
The
Dauphin
was
Born
at
Fountain-Bleau
,
the
first
of
November
,
1661.
about
Noon
,
and
Baptized
at
St
Germains
en
Laye
,
in
the
Court
of
the
Old
Castle
the
24th
of
March
1668.
by
Cardinal
Antony
Barberin
,
Great
Almoner
of
France
.
His
Godfather
was
our
Holy
Father
Pope
Clement
the
Ninth
,
Represented
by
the
Cardinal
Duke
of
Vendome
,
Legate
à
Latere
;
and
his
Godmother
,
the
Queen
Mother
of
England
,
Represented
by
the
Princess
of
Conty
,
who
named
him
Lewis
.
The
Dauphin
is
Heir
Apparent
of
the
Crown
of
France
,
and
bears
the
Title
of
Dauphin
by
vertue
of
a
Donation
of
the
Province
of
the
Dauphinate
made
by
Humbert
,
last
Prince
Dauphin
of
Viennois
,
to
Philip
de
Valois
,
in
the
Year
of
our
Lord
1349.
upon
condition
,
the
Eldest
Sons
of
the
Kings
of
France
should
thenceforward
,
be
stiled
Dauphins
.
For
that
reason
he
bears
the
Arms
of
France
Quarter'd
with
those
of
the
Dauphinate
,
environed
with
the
two
Orders
of
the
King
,
because
the
Sons
of
France
wear
the
blue
Ribband
from
their
Cradles
.
His
Coronet
is
raised
with
Flower-deluces
,
as
is
that
of
all
the
Sons
of
France
.
Some
Authors
had
formerly
,
without
any
ground
,
affirmed
,
the
Dauphins
used
to
wear
their
Coronets
closed
,
by
way
of
Excellence
;
but
the
Abbot
of
Brianville
,
who
had
likewise
upon
their
credit
,
averred
the
same
thing
,
in
his
Game
of
the
Coats
of
Arms
of
Europe
,
hath
since
found
the
contrary
upon
all
the
Seals
,
Coins
,
and
other
Monuments
:
and
afterwards
presented
to
the
King
such
a
Coronet
,
of
his
own
Invention
,
closed
by
four
Dolphins
,
whose
Tails
meet
all
in
a
Button
or
knob
,
with
four
Angels
supporting
a
Flower-deluce
,
which
his
Majesty
liked
so
well
,
that
he
order'd
the
Dolphin
should
wear
no
other
.
The
Princess
,
that
Heaven
has
replenisht
with
all
sorts
of
Vertues
,
to
be
the
worthy
Spouse
of
my

2.
Charles
of
Orleans
Duke
of
Longueville
Count
of
St.
Pauls
,
his
Brother
,
was
killed
at
the
memorable
passage
of
the
Rhine
,
near
Tolbuys
in
Holland
the
12th
of
June
1672.
leaving
only
a
natural
Son
called
the
Chevalier
Longueville
,
who
was
Legitimated
the
same
year
.
Their
Sister
by
the
Fathers
side
,
by
a
former
Wise
,
was
Anne-Marie
of
Orleans
,
who
was
Born
the
5th
of
March
1625.
being
Widow
of
Henry
of
Savoy
,
last
Duke
of
Nemours
.
This
Family
descended
in
a
direct
Male
Line
,
from
John
,
Natural
Son
to
Lewis
of
France
,
Duke
of
Orleans
,
Brother
to
Charles
the
Sixth
.
This
Count
de
Dunois
,
did
such
brave
Exploits
in
the
reign
of
Charles
the
Seventh
,
against
the
English
,
under
the
Names
of
the
Bastard
of
Orleans
,
and
of
Count
de
Dunois
,
That
he
obtained
for
his
Posterity
very
singular
Priviledges
,
and
such
as
never
before
or
since
him
,
were
ever
granted
to
any
Natural
Children
but
those
of
the
Kings
themselves
.
After
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
and
those
which
are
Legitimated
,
I
thought
good
to
subjoin
those
Families
,
that
the
King
suffers
to
enjoy
some
particular
honours
which
other
Dukes
and
Peers
are
not
allowed
;
which
are
called
,
Stranger-Princes
.
CHAP.
X.
Of
Stranger-Princes
.
THese
Princes
,
though
born
in
France
,
and
truly
French
by
Nation
,
yet
are
called
Strangers
,
because
they
are
originally
descended
from
a
Foreign
House
and
Principality
,
and
bear
its
Name
:
As
those
of
the
House
of
Lorain
,
Savoy
,
and
others
,
of
which
we
shall
here
speak
.
It
is
almost
impossible
to
regulate
the
point
of
Precedence
among
the
Soveraign
Families
setled
in
France
,
and
therefore
not
to
meddle
with
those
disputes
,
I
shall
follow
the
Order
of
the
time
of
their
respective
setling
here
:
And
since
the
Branches
of
the
House
of
Lorain
,
that
for
these
many
Ages
have
been
setled
in
this
Kingdom
,
have
longer
enjoyed
the
Bank
of
Princes
in
France
,
than
those
of
the
House
of
Savoy
;
I
hope
none
will
take
it
ill
that
I
give
them
the
first
place
:
for
,
as
for
the
Precedence
of
some
other
Houses
,
there
being
as
yet
,
almost
nothing
determined
in
France
on
that
subject
,
I
shall
leave
it
wholly
to
the
Reader
to
think
of
that
point
what
he
pleases
.
Of
the
House
of
Lorain
.
The
better
and
more
distinctly
to
describe
to
you
all
the
Princes
and
Princesses
of
the
House
of
Lorain
,
that
are
at
present
living
,
I
shall
divide
the
Family
into
five
Branches
,
and
accordingly
shall
speak
first
,
Of
the
first
Branch
of
Lorain
.
The
late
Charles
the
Third
of
that
Name
,
Duke
of
Lorain
,
who
died
of
a
Feaver
at
Cologne
,
the
17th
of
September
1675.
at
the
Age
of
75
Years
,
Married
on
the
22d
of
May
1621.
his
Cousin-German
Nicole
of
Lorain
,
eldest
Daughter
of
the
deceased
Henry
Duke
of
Lorain
.
This
Charles
Duke
of
Lorain
,
was
detained
a
long
time
Prisoner
in
Spain
,
which
was
the
cause
that
the
Princess
Nicole
Dutchess
of
Lorain
,
not
being
willing
to
fall
into
the
same
Misfortune
with
her
Husband
retired
into
France
,
where
,
in
consideration
of
an
honourable
Pension
for
the
support
of
the
dignity
of
so
great
a
Princess
,
she
yielded
up
all
her
rights
to
the
Dutchy
of
Lorain
,
and
died
without
Children
,
at
Paris
,
the
21th
of
February
1657.
After
which
the
said
late
Duke
Charles
Married
for
his
second
Wife
,
at
Nancy
,
the
5th
of
November
1665.
the
Lady
Mary
of
Apremont
,
of
Nantenil
,
by
whom
he
had
likewise
no
Children
.
He
in
like
manner
,
yielded
up
to
the
King
of
France
,
the
Property
and
Soveraignty
of
his
Dutchies
of
Lorain
,
and
of
Bar
:
which
Donation
was
verified
in
Parliament
,
in
presence
of
the
King
himself
,
who
sat
there
in
person
on
his
Bed
of
Justice
,
in
the
Month
of
February
1662.
Yet
there
remain
two
Natural
Children
of
the
said
late
Duke
Charles
the
Third
,
which
he
had

Before
I
put
an
end
to
this
Chapter
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
to
tell
you
,
what
it
is
,
to
have
The
Pour
,
or
The
for
,
(
as
they
term
it
)
which
is
a
Priviledge
at
Court
,
allowed
only
to
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
or
to
Legitimated
Princes
,
or
to
such
Lords
,
who
as
those
of
this
last
sort
,
have
the
Priviledge
and
Rank
of
Princes
.
To
explain
then
,
what
is
the
meaning
of
having
the
Pour
,
or
the
for
at
Court
;
You
must
know
,
That
in
France
,
't
is
a
thing
immemorially
practised
by
the
Kings
Harbengers
,
called
Fouriers
,
to
mark
out
before-hand
Lodgings
in
private
Houses
in
all
places
,
whither
the
Court
is
to
remove
,
for
all
the
great
Persons
,
Officers
,
and
Attendants
belonging
to
it
,
without
consulting
the
leave
or
liking
of
the
Owners
,
who
are
bound
to
furnish
the
Rooms
and
supply
necessaries
,
according
to
the
respective
Quality
,
as
well
of
the
Owner
as
of
the
Person
or
Persons
he
is
to
lodge
,
at
a
certain
stinted
inconsiderable
rate
.
Now
these
Harbingers
or
Fouriers
,
mark
the
Doors
of
the
Houses
,
or
Chambers
they
single
out
for
these
purposes
with
Chalk
;
and
if
it
be
only
for
an
ordinary
,
or
mean
Officer
,
or
any
Person
beneath
the
Quality
above-specified
,
then
they
mark
out
in
Chalk
only
the
Name
of
the
Person
,
without
further
addition
;
but
when
they
mark
out
any
House
or
Rooms
,
for
Persons
of
this
high
Quality
,
They
then
prefix
this
word
Pour
,
i.
e.
for
,
and
write
Pour
,
i.
e.
for
Monsteur
or
Monseignour
tel
,
i.
e.
Mr.
or
My
Lord
such
a
one
:
And
this
is
called
,
Having
The
Pour
.
It
is
to
be
observed
,
That
there
are
some
particular
Lords
in
France
,
that
bear
the
stile
of

annexed

as
the
Abbot
of
Peyrat
,
one
of
the
Kings
Almoners
,
shows
in
his
Antiquities
of
the
Chappel
Royal
)
and
performs
several
Episcopal
Functions
in
any
Diocess
where-ever
it
be
,
that
the
Court
is
,
without
asking
leave
of
the
Bishops
of
the
places
.
He
Baptizes
the
Dauphins
,
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
France
,
the
Princes
,
and
all
others
for
whom
the
Kings
and
Queens
,
or
any
Children
of
France
are
please
to
stand
Godfathers
or
Godmothers
for
,
whether
in

,
or
by
Proxy
,
He
affiances
and
marries
in
the
Kings
Palace
,
Princes
and
Princesses
.
You
are
to
observe
,
that
on
a
Communion-day
,
the
Great
Almoner
,
with
his
Crosier
and
Miter
,
gives
the
Absolution
,
without
asking
leave
of
the
ordinary
,
or
else
appoints
another
Bishop
to
do
it
in
his
stead
,
according
to
the
practise
used
in
Cathedrals
.
'T
is
he
,
if
he
be
in
the
Chappel
,
that
gives
the
King
the
Gospel
,
and
the
Pax
to
kiss
on
certain
Festivals
,
and
when
his
Majestry
Communicates
.
He
gives
the
Ashes
to
their
Majesties
,
and
the
usual
Dispensation
for
eating
Eggs
and
Flesh
in
Lent
.
The
Abbot
of
Peyrat
in
his
Book
of
the
Antiquities
of
the
Chappel
Royal
,
brings
Examples
to
show
,
that
the
Great
Almoner
gives
permission
to
the
Court
Clergy
,
to
Contract
and
Marry
and
Officers
in
the
Kings
Service
,
without
any
need
of
their
going
to
a
Parish
Church
.
He
apoints
those
of
the
same
Clergy
to
hear
the
Confessions
of
the
Kings
Officers
,
especially
on
the
great
Festivals
of
the
year
,
and
at
Easter
,
and
to
administer
the
Sacraments
to
them
when
they
desire
it
,
and
when
they
are
sick
.
The
power
of
the
great
Almoner
extends
it self
yet
further
out
of
the
Kings
Chappel
,
and
Household
.
He
has
the
disposing
of
all
places
in
the
Hospitals
of
France
,
and
he
has
power
to
appoint
Vicars
throughout
all
the
Provinces
and
Diocesses
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
take
an
account
of
the
Revenues
of
the
said
Hospitals
;
but
he
appoints
one
Vicar
General
,
who
has
power
over
the
rest
.
The
Great
Almoner
has
likewise
power
in
the
University
of
Paris
,
over
the
17
Lecturers
of
the
Royal
Colledge
,
over
the
Colledge
of
Mr.
Gervase
,
and
over
that
of
Navarre
.
He
has
the
gift
of
the
Scholars
and
Principals
Places
in
those
Colledges
,
where
he
has
the
right
of
Visiting
.
He
has
also
the
Super-Intendance
of
the
Hospital
of
the
Fifteen-score
blind
People
at
Paris
,
of
that
of
the
sixscore

Chartres
,
and
of
that
of
the
Haudriettes
at
Paris
,
which
are
now
the
Nuns
of
the
Assumption
.
It
will
not
be
amiss
to
place
here
,
the
Form
of
the
Oath
of
Fidelity
or
Allegiance
which
the
Bishops
in
France
take
to
the
King
upon
the
Holy
Gospels
.
The
Form
of
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
taken
by
the
Bishops
.
I
Swear

the
Most
Holy
and
Sacred
Name
of
God

and
Promise

Servant
:
That
I
will
procure

and
the
good

all
my

That
I
will
never
be
present
in
any
Counsel
,
Design
,
or
Enterprize
,
to
the
prejudice
of
either

and
,
that

comes
any
thing
of
that
kind
,
to
my
Knowledge
,
that
I
will
make
it
known

So

,
in

.
Note
,
The
manner
of
taking
the
Oath
of
Fidelity
is
thus
:
The
Party
who
takes
the
Oath
,
kneeling
on
his
Knees
,
puts
his
hands
joined
between
the
Kings
,
or
any
other
dignified
persons
hands
,
who
receives
the
said
Oath
,
and
so
pronounces
the
Oath
,
and
after
,
Kisses
the
Gospels
,
which
are
presented
to
him
;
and
this
is
the
reason
of
the
French
Phrase
,
Prèter
serment
entre
les
mains
du
Roy
,
to
take
an
Oath
between
the
Kings
Hands
,
when
they
speak
of
taking
one
to
him
.

CHAP.

.
Of
the
Great
Master
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
those
who
depend
on
him
,
and
of
the
Stewards
of
the
Houshold
.
THE
Prince
of
Conde
is
at
present
Grand
Master
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
his
Son
the
Duke
of
Enguien
has
it
in
Reversion
.
The
Grand
Master
has
yearly
,
under
the
name
of
Wages
,
3600
l.
for
Liveries
42000
l.
paid
quarterly
,
for
his
Collations
1200
l.
and
1800
l.
for
his
Steward
.
Under
the
first
Race
of
our
Kings
,
the
Great
Master
of
France
,
was
called
the
Mayor
of
the
Palace
,
who
was
a
Lieutenant-General
over
the
whole
Kingdom
;
and
according
to
the
ancient
Disposition
of
the
State
,
as
there
was
a
Duke
placed
over
twelve
Earls
,
and
sometimes
,
a
Duke
over
whole
Provinces
,
so
the
Mayor
of
the
Palace
,
was
the
Duke
of
Dukes
,
and
stiled
himself
Duke
or
Prince
of
the
French
.
His
Authority
was
not
confined
only
within
the
Kings
Houshold
,
where
he
disposed
of
all
Offices
,
but
he
had
a
great
power
over
all
Officers
of
War
,
and
Justice
,
over
the
Managers
of
the
Revenue
and
Treasury
,
and
indeed
over
all
Affairs
of
State
;
and
grew
so
great
at
last
,
that
it
Eclipsed
the
Kings
,
and
gave
Pepin
,
who
was
but
Mayor
of
the
Palace
,
opportunity
to
assume
the
Crown
,
which
having
done
,
and
fearing
,
that
if
he
continued
any
longer
any
such
great
Authority
as
this
,
in
an
Officer
,
his
own
practice
might
be
returned
on
him
and
his
Successors
,
he
suppressed
this
Office
of
Mayor
of
the
Palace
,
and
Erected
in
its
stead
,
that
of
Seneschal
,
for
the
Government
only
of
his
Household
,
reserving
all
the
other
powers
,
of
that
former
Office
,
to
himself
.
Yet
it
has
happened
since
,
that
the
Seneschal
for
all
that
,
has
taken
upon
him
some
Command
in
the
Armies
,
even
so
far
as
to
have
the
Guard
of
the
Kings
Person
:
Some
have
called
him
the
Great
Gonfanonïer
,
or
Standard-Bearer
.
This
Office
became
Hereditary
to
the
Counts
of
Anjou
,
from
the
time
of
Geffry
Grisegonelle
,
to
whom
King
Robert
gave
it
about
the
year
1002.
and
those
that
exercised
it
about
the
King
,
held
it
in
Fee
,
of
those
Counts
,
to
whom
they
did
Homage
for
it
,
and
paid
certain
acknowledgments
,
as
going
to
meet
the
Count
of
Anjou
,
when
he
came
to
the
Palace
,
Lodging
him
,
letting
him
serve
the
King
,
&c.
and
furnishing
him
in
the
Armies
,
with
a
Tent
big
enough
to
hold
a
hundred
Knights
,
as
Hugh
de
Cléries
reports
at
large
.
This
Officer
also
retained
still
a
part
of
the
power
of
the
Mayors
of
the
Palace
in
other
things
,
and
decided
all
differences
arising
among
the
Attendants
of
the
Court
,
and
among
the
Officers
of
the
Houshold
.
After
the
Kings
Death
,
he
throws
his
Staff

Great

every

of
the

He
has
an
entire
Jurisdiction
over
the
seven
Offices
,
the
most
part
of
which
places
he
disposes
of
,
and
the
Officers
thereof
take
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
to
the
King
,
between
his
hands
:
Nevertheless
,
the
Great
Masters
have
voluntarily
resign'd
the
Office
of
Intendant
of
the
Gobelet
,
and
of
the
Mouth
,
into
the
Kings
hands
,
ever
since
Monsieur
de
Soissons
,
Great
Master
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
under
Henry
IV.
refused
to
trouble
himself
any
longer
with
the
care
of
them
.
He
receives
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
from
the

their
Offices
,
in
speaking
of
the
Gentlemen-Waiters
,
or
Servitors
,
who
daily
their
Functions
.
The
present
Great
Pantler
is
,
Timoleon
Count
de
Cosse
,
of
which
Office
,
it
is
observable
,
that
there
remains
still
an
ancient
Custom
in
the
Kings
House
,
that
upon
every
New-Years-Day
,
and
on
the
four
principal
Feasts
in
the
Year
,
as
soon
as
the
King
is
gone
out
of
his
Chamber
,
to
go
to
Mass
,
the
Serdeau
,
or
Voider
,
cries
aloud
three
times
,
either
out
of
a
Balcony
,
or
from
the
Stairs
head
;
M.
such
a
one
,
Great
Pantler
of
France
,
lay
the
Cloth
for
the
King
.
The
Great
Cup-bearer
is
an
Office
set
up
instead
of
the
Great
Bottler
,
or
Butler
;
which
was
antiently
one
of
the
Principal
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
from
the
time
of
Charles
the
Great
,
to
a
considerable
time
after
the
rise
of
the
Kings
of
the
third
Race
,
he
used
to
Sign
all
Charters
,
and
Letters
Patents
,
and
to
be
present
at
all
Assemblies
,
as
other
great
Officers
are
.
The
Great
Vsher-Carver
is
the
last
of
the
three
.
The
Great
Pantler
has
a
Jurisdiction
at
the
Palace
,
which
is
at
Paris
,
what
Westminster-Hall
has
here
:
as
we
shall
shew
further
when
we
come
to
speak
of
that
.
All
the
Bakers
of
Paris
are
obliged
on
every
next
Sunday
after
the
Epiphany
,
to
go
and
do
homage
to
the
Great
Pantler
,
between
the
hands
of
his
Lieutenant-General
,
and
to
pay
him
,
as
they
call
it
,
the
good
Denier

Besides
,
all
Master-Bakers
,
newly

.
Of
the
Gentlemen-Waiters
.
The
Gentlemen-Waiters
perform
by
turns
the
Functions
of
the
three
next
abovenamed
Officers
:
They
are
always
called
Gentlemen-Waiters
to
the
King
,
because
they
serve
none
but
Crowned
Heads
,
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
and
Soveraign
Princes
when
the
King
is
pleased

them
.
In

Letters
Patents
for
their
places
,
they
are
stiled
Esquires
;
and
by
a
Declaration
of
the
King
,
of
the
17th
of
October
1656.
they
may
take
the
Titles
of
Knights
and
Esquires
,
and
may
bear
their
Coats
of
Arms
timbred
.
On
Maundy-Thursday
,
they
serve
together
with
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
and
other
great
Lords
of
the
Court
,
in
carrying
to
the
King
those
Dishes
which
his
Majesty
on
that
day
serves
up
to
the
thirteen
poor
people
;
he
then
entertains
those
who
are
called
the
Children
of
the
Holy
Supper
.
They
have
rank
and
place
at
all
great
Ceremonies
,
as
at
the
Kings
Coronation
,
his
solemn
Entry
into
Paris
,
and
at
the
Christning
of
the
Dauphin
.
They
wait
with
their
Swords
by
their
sides
,
and
may
be
present
in
the
first
Office
of
every
quarter
in
which
they
have
place

voice
next
after
the
Masters
of
the
Houshold
,
according
to
the
Regulations
set
down
in
the
Ordinances
made
for
that
purpose
.
They
were
formerly
more
in
number
,
till
his
present
Majesty
,
by
a
Declaration
of
the
Month
of
April
1654.
they
were
reduced
to
thirty
six
,
who
take
the
Oath
of
Fidelity
in
presence
of
the
Grand
Master
,
or
of
those
,
who
as
we
have
said
,
in
his
absence
supply
his
place
.
They
likewise
,
and
their
Widows
,
enjoy
an
exemption
from
all
Taxes
and
Impositions
;
They
are
ranked
upon
the
Book
of
the
Establishment
at
the
rate
of
700
l.
per
annum
Wages
,
though
they
receive
but
half
that
sum
,
and
they
have
all
their
Diet
at
Court
,
at
the
Table
,
called
the
Kings
Water-Servers
,
or
Voiders
Table
,
and
those
that
serve
at
the
Dauphins
,
eat
likewise
at
his
Highnesses
Water-Servers
,
or
Voiders
Table
.
After
these
we
may
conveniently
place
the
Serdeaus
,
who
are
the
Water-Servers
,
or
Voiders
,
who
are
six
in
number
,
and
serve
every

in
their

two
Months

they

l.
which
is
paid
by
the
Treasurers
,
and
18
l.
more
paid
at
the
Chamber
of
Deniers
.
They
are
called
Serdeaus
,
or
Water-Servers
,
because
they
present
the
chief
Officers
of
the
Houshold
and
Kitchin
with
Water
to
wash
their
hands
,
before
they
serve
up
the
Meat
to
his
Majesties
Table
;
they
may
likewise
be
stiled
Voiders
,
or
Deservers
,
because
they
receive
all
the
Dishes
as
they
are
taken
from
his
Majesties
Table
,
and
see
them
conveyed
to
the
Gentlemen
Waiters
Hall
,
where
they
serve
them
likewise
with
Water
,
and
such
as
dine
with
them
at
their
Table
.
After
them
are
the
Ushers
of
the
Hall
,
who
after
they
have
Conducted
the
Kings
Meat
from
the
Kitchin
of
the

to
the
Anti-Chamber

where
his

dines

take

them
the

that
Door

the

till
the
Cloth
be
taken
away
;
they
are
twelve
in

,
waiting
three

three
quarterly
:
they
have
300
l.
a
piece
yearly
Wages
,
and
eat
with
the
Gentlemen-Waiters
:
and
he
that
serves
the

in
the
same
quality
,
has
226
l.
Wages
.
Of
the
Order
observed
in
serving
the
King
,
when
he
Dines
in
Publick
.
As
soon
as
the
Usher
of
the
Hall
has
received
Order
to
have
the
Kings
Table
spread
,
he
goes
to
the
Life-guard
Chamber
,
and
knocking
at
the
Door
of
their
Hall
,
he
cries
aloud
,
Gentlemen

Spread
the
Kings
Table
here
.
Thence
taking
a
Guard
with
him
,
he
goes
to
the

,
then
the

And
when
they
come

they
term
it
)
the
Usher
of
the
Hall
,
himself
alone
,
spreads
one

the
Cloths
upon
the
Side-Bord
,
which
done

the

and
the

being
decently
cast
into
his
hands
by
the
Officer
of
the
Goblet
,
who
keeps
the

After
that
,
the
other
Officers
of
the
Goblet
place
the
Nave
,
and
make
an
end
of
covering
the
Table

the
Preparatives
,
cuts
out
the
Essays

And
the

between
two
golden
Plates
,
that
his

may
see
by
that
,
the
Meat
is

;
then
he
comes
back
,
marching
before
the
King
to
the
Table
,
where
his
Majesty
being
arrived
,
the
Master

Thus
much
for
the
first
course
;
as
for
the
others
,
you
may
observe
,
that
the
Gentleman-Waiter
that
has
the

continues
all

the
other
Gentlemen-Waiters
come
and
take
,
and
serve
up
to
the
Kings
Table
,
when
his
Majesty
calls
for
them
.
But
the
other
Gentlemen-Waiters
,
after
they
have
brought
up
the
first
course
,
go
no
more
down
to
the
Office
,
but
having
washed
their
hands
with

,
and
holds

with

the
end
of
his

;
and
the

Two

In
all
these
Offices
,
there
are
some
Servants
.
All
the
Officers
of
the
seven
Offices
,
have
always
priviledge
to
wear
a
Sword
in
the
Louvre
,
or
elsewhere

and
to
wait
with
their
Swords

The
five
Offices

of
Chiefs

Aids

Grooms
,
and
are
regulated
after
the

manner
as
those
immediately
belonging

Besides
the
seven
Offices
,
there
is
a
new
Kitchin
,
which
was
established
in
the
Month
of
September
1664.
called
the
Little-Common
Kitchin
,
to
serve
the
Great
Masters
,
and
Great
Chamberlains

Table
.
Of
which
,
we
shall
now
name
the
Officers
.
Other
Officers
belonging
to
the
seven
Offices
.
There
are
still
some
others
that
may
be
reckoned
as
belonging
to

or
dependant
on
the
seven
Offices
,
as
the
Deliverer
out
of
the

,
but
for
all
the
Tables
of
the
Houshold
,
and
to
the
Princes
and
great
Lords
of
the
Court.
There
are
four
Barber-Chyrurgions
belonging
to
the
Houshold
,
that
are
Sworn
by
the
Chief
Gentlemen
of
the
Bed-Chamber

and
wash
their
Feet

They
Accompany
the
Chief
Physician
,
when
he
visits
the
said
poor
Men.
After
these
we
may
place
the
Purveyors
,
and
the
Merchants
that
furnish
necessaries
,
which
are
the
Bakers
,
the
Vintners
,
the
Linen-Drapers
,
and
others
,
who
keep
to
the
bargain
they
have
made
with
the
Kings
Officers
,
so
long
as
they
please
,
and
so
long
as
no
body
offers
to
do
it
cheaper
;
but
if
they
furnish
any
thing
that
is
not
so
good
as
it
should
be
,
the
Masters
,
and
Comptrollers
of
the
Houshold
,
and
other
Head-Officers
may
buy
more
elsewhere
,
and
bate
,
or
cause
it
to
be
bated
in
the
said
Merchants
Bills

The
Vintner
is

CHAP.
XVI
.
Of
the
Great
Chamberlain
,
and
all
Officers
under
his
dependance
.
IF
the
honour
of
Officer
,
may
be
rated
from
the
frequency
,
and
nearness
of
their
approaches
to
the
Kings
Person
,
then
certainly
the
Great
Chamberlain
must
needs
have
the
greatest
share
therein
of
any
,
since
it
is
at
all
times
in
his
power
,
to
be
near
his
Majesty
,
and
that
he
has
a
very
considerable
Rank
in
all
the
most
Magnificent
Solemnities
.
This
Office
is
almost
as
ancient
as
the
beginning
of
this
Monarchy
,
and
one
may
judge
of
its
greatness
by
the
Nobility
of
the
Persons
that
always
have
enjoyed
it
.
He
had
formerly
a
great
Jurisdiction
over
the
Mercers
and
other
Trades
that
deal
in
Clothing
,
and
for
that
purpose
,
he
substituted
under
him
a
Surveyor
of
those
Merchandizes
,
who
was
commonly
called
the
King
of
the
Mercers
,
that
is
to
say
,
their
Syndic
,
or
Comptroller
,
who
also
Examin'd
the
Weights
and
Measures
of
the
said
Merchants
:
His
Court
of
Justice
was
held
at
the
Marble
Table
in
the
Palais
,
or
Palace
at
Paris
,
by
a
Mayor-Judge
,
Commissionated
by
the
Great
Chamberlain
,
and
some
other
Officers
.
The
Great
Chamberlain
was
formerly
of
the
Great
Officers
that
Signed
all
Charters
,
and
Letters
of
Consequence
,
and
has
still
a
Right
to
sit
in
Judgment
with
the
King
at
the
Tryal
of
any
Peers
.
He
had
formerly
the
Keeping
of
the
Kings
Coffers
and
Treasury
in
his
Chamber
,
and
had
the
management
of
the
Exchequer
,
as
he
has
to
this
day
,
in
several
places
,
where
the
Camerlingue
,
or
Chamberlain
(
for
in
different
places
,
he
is
differently
stiled
)
is
likewise
Treasurer
,
and
receives
all
the
Revenues
;
and
it
belonged
to
him
,
or
his
Under-Treasurers
,
to
carry
Money
about
them
for
the
Kings
Liberalities
,
and
other
necessary
Expences
:
He
used
to
have
for
his
Fee
the
tenth
part
of
what
came
into
the
Kings
Coffers
,
and
was
wont
to
deal
out
the
Annual
Gratuities
to
the
Souldiers
,
and
provide
Presents
for
all
Ambassadours
.
He
has
been
indifferently
stiled
,
Cubicularius
,
Camerarius
,
or
Cambellanus
,
that
is
,
Bedchamber
Man
,
Chamber-man
,
or
Chamberlain
;
But
the
Office
of
Chamberlain
,
and
Chamber-man
,
were
afterward
made
distinct
Offices
,
as
,
among
other
proofs
,
will
appear
by
an
ancient
duty
upon
Merchants
,
who
paid
16
pence
,
whereof
ten
pence
went
to
the
Chamberlain
,
and
the
other
six
to
the
Chamber-Man
;
But
the
Office
of
Chamber-Man
was
supprest
in
the
Person
of
Charles
Duke
of
Orleans
,
Anno
1544.
or
to
speak
more
properly
,
we
may
say
,
that
it
assumed
under
Francis
the
First
,
the
present
Title
it
is
now
known
under
,
of
Chief
Gentleman
of
the
Bed-Chamber
.
The
present
Great
Chamberlain
is
the
Duke
of
Boüillon
,
who
has
yearly
3600
l.
under
the
name
of
Wages
,
and
a
Pension
of
20000
l.
When
the
King
sits
on
his
Bed
of
Justice
,
or
in
a
general
Assembly
of
the
Estates
,
the
Great
Chamberlain
Flower
deluces
of
Gold
.
He
is
present
at
all
Audiences
of
Ambassadours
,
where
takes
his
Place
behind
his
Majesties
Chair
of
State
,
between
the
Chief
Gentleman
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
who
is
on
his
right
,
and
the
Great
Master
of
the
Wardrobe
,
whose
Place
is
on
his
left
.
Antiently
,
in
the
Queens
absence
,
he
was
wont
to
lie
in
the
Kings
Bed-Chamber
.
Upon
the
Coronation-Day
,
he
takes
the
Royal
Buskins
from
the
Abbot
of
St.
Denis
,
and
puts
them
on
the
Kings
Legs
,
and
then
invests
him
with
the
Dalmatick
Robe
of
Azure
Blue
,
and
with
the
Mantle
Royal.
As
the
Great
Chamberlains
have
the
honour
to
be
nearest
the
sacred
Persons
of
their
Kings
while
they
are
alive
;
so
when
nature
has
exacted
from
them
her
Tribute
,
and
they
come
to
die
,
they
with
the
Chief
Gentlemen
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
interre
their
Bodies
.
The
homage
done
to
the
King
,
by
any
Dukes
or
other
Persons
of
higher
Rank
,
holding
their
Lands
,
or
Seignieuries
of
his
Majesty
,
was
antiently
performed
in
the
Bed-Chamber
,
whither
being
Conducted
by
the
Great
Chamberlain
,
Bare-headed
,
and
without
Sword
,
Belt
,
or
Spurs
;
and
kneeling
down
,
and
putting
their
hands
between
the
Kings
Hands
,
they
promised
him
Fealty
and
Homage
.
Of
which
Ceremony
,
we
have
a
fair
Example
,
in
Froissard
,
in
the
25th
Chapter
of
the
First
Volume
of
his
History
,
namely
,
in
the
Homage
done
by
Edward
the
Third
King
of
England
,
to
Philip
de
Valois
,
to
whom
being
brought
in
,
and
in
the
posture
as
aforesaid
,
the
Great
Chamberlain-tendered
these
words
:
You
become
the
Liege-Man
of
the
King
,
my
Lord
,
that
here
is
,
(
as
Duke
of
Guienne
,
and
Peer
of
France
)
and
you
promise
Fealty
and
Loyalty
to
him
,
to
bear
:
Say
,
Yes
:
And
the
King
of
England
,
as
Duke
of
Guienne
,
answered
,
Yes
,
and
the
King
received
him
for
his
Liege-Man
:
Thus
Froissard
,
who
likewise
tells
us
,
that
this
Homage
had
better
have
been
let
alone
,
it
being
so
Stomached
by
that
Couragious
King
,
that
it
caused
those
long
and
bloody
Wars
between
the
two
Nations
,
of
which
all
Histories
resound
,
and
which
are
hardly
yet
well
extinct
,
but
lie
couched
under
Embers
,
till
opportunity
shall
raise
them
into
new
Flames
.
At
present
,
when
any
Marshal
of
France
,
Governour
of
a
Town
,
Place
,
or
Province
,
or
any
other
,
is
to
take
the
Oath
of
Fidelity
to
the
King
,
the
Marshal
,
or
such
other
Person
gives
his
Hat
,
Gloves
,
and
Sword
,
to
the
Usher
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
and
then
advancing
towards
the
King
,
who
expects
him
in
his
Chair
of
State
,
he
kneels
down
upon
a
Cushion
,
presented
him
by
one
of
the
Chief
Valets
de
Chambre
,
and
putting
his
Hands
between
his
Majesties
,
when
,
the
said
Oath
being
read
to
him
by
the
Secretary
,
under
whose
Division
his
Place
is
,
he
gives
his
assent
in
the
manner
aforesaid
;
and
then
rising
up
,
and
making
Obeisance
to
his
Majesty
,
goes
back
,
and
takes
again
of
the
Usher
of
the
Bed-Chamber
the
things
he
left
with
him
,
to
whom
,
as
well
as
to
some
other
Officers
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
he
makes
an
honourable
Present
.
The
Great
Chamberlains
had
formerly
a
Table
furnished
out
of
the
Kings
own
Kitchin
,
but
the
late
Duke
of
Chevreuse
,
Great
Chamberlain
,
agreed
with
the
Masters
of
the
Houshold
,
to
have
instead
of
it
,
that
which
is
still
kept
by
them
,
under
the
Name
of
the
Great
Chamberlains
Table
.
He
has
a
Super-intendence
over
all
the
Officers
of
the
Kings
Bed-Chamber
,
of
his
Wardrobe
,
of
his
Closets
and
Anti-Chamber
,
when
the
King
Dresses
himself
,
he
gives
him
his
Shirt
,
which
honour
,
he
parts
not
with
,
to
any
,
but
to
the
Sons
of
France
,
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
or
Sons
Legitimate
of
France
.
When
the
King
eats
in
his
Bed-Chamber
,
't
is
his
Duty
to
wait
on
him
,
and
give
him
his
Napkin
;
and
in
short
,
he
performs
all
the
Honours
and
Chief
Ceremonies
of
the
Bed-Chamber
.
At
all
Solemnities
,
Balls
,
and
other
Assemblies
,
as
likewise
at
Chappel
,
when
the
King
goes
to
hear
a
Sermon
,
one
of
the
Yeomen
of
the
Bed-Chamber
brings
always
a

of
the
Kings
Chamber
for
the
Great

exercise
as
I
have
said

by
turns
,
under
that
new
Title
,
the
Office
that
was
formerly
performed
by
the
Camerier
,
or
Chamber-Man
.
There
was
at
first
but
two
of
them
,
but
the
late
King
Lewis
the

.
made
them
up
four
.
They
serve
By
turns
each

They

in
They
used
formerly
to

the
Kings
Bed-Chamber
,
as
appears
by
the
9th
and
82d
Articles
of
the
Ordinance
of
Charles
the
Seventh
,
that
are
addressed
thus
,
To

They

all
Cloths

Habits
used

Playes
,
and
other
Divertisements
for
his

They

It
is
to
be
noted
,
That
there
are
many
,
that
out
of
courtesy
are
stiled
Gentlemen
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
that
have
neither
Place
,
nor
Salary
,
as
such
;
and
many
Gentlemen
in
Ordinary
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
of
which
we
shall
speak
in
their
proper
place
.
Next
these
,
are

,
the

Palaces
;
and
in
Summer

was

Their

Crowns

a

.
On
Council-Days
,
if
the
Council
be
held
in
the
Bed-Chamber
,
they
go
from
his
Majesty
,
to
give
notice
to
the
Secretaries
of
State
,
and
in
the
absence
of
the
chief
Valets
de
Chambres
,
they
keep
the
Doors
of
the
Council-Chamber
.
They
have
the
Honour
to
carry
in
their
Arms
the
Children
of
France
,
during
their
Infancy
.
The
two
Ushers
of
the
Chamber
,
that
wait
at
the
Dauphins
,
have
each
of
them
a
Crown
a
day
for
their
Diet
;
one
of
the
four
Ushers
that
are
in
Waiting
at
the
Kings
,
goes
every
day
and
waits
on
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
and
he
that
stays
with
that
Prince
,
in
the
Kings
absence
,
has
a
Crown
a
Day
for
his
Diet
:
and
the
Officers
of
the
Kings
Counting-House
,
or
Green-Cloth
,
diminish
so
much
as
his
Ordinary
comes
to
,
at
the
Table
,
he
should
otherwise
eat
it
,
and
discount
it
to
his
Majesties
profit
.
Another
Usher
likewise
appointed
to
wait
on
the
Duke
of
Anjou
,
has
the
like
allowance
,
which
will
be
the
rule
for
all
the
Children
the
Dauphin
shall
have
.
When
the
Usher
asks
any
one
,
that
would
come
in
,
his
Name
,
whoever
he
be
,
he
ought
not
to
take
it
ill
,
because
he
is
obliged
by
his
Office
,
to
know
who
he
lets
in
.
It
is
to
be
observed
,
that
any
person
that
would
enter
into
the
Bed-Chamber
,
the
Anti-Chamber
,
and
the
Closets
,
when
the
Doors
are
shut
,
must
scratch
gently
at
the
Door
,
and
not
knock
hard
,
and
when
he
would
go
out
,
he
is
not
to
open
the
Door
himself
,
but
to
call
to
the
Usher
to
open
it
for
him
.
When
the
King
,
any
Queens
,
Children
of
France
,
and
their
Wives
,
or
any
Ambassadors
,
that
go
to
,
or
come
from
Audience
,
come
in
or
go
out
of
the
Chamber
,
the
Usher
presently
opens
to
them
both
the
Leaves
of
the
Door
,
the
same
is
done
by
the
Usher
of
the
Anti-Chamber
,
and
by
the
Sentinel
at
the
Door
of
the
Guard-Chamber
.
There
are
besides
,
two
Ushers
of
the
Closet
,
that
wait
six
Months
each
,
who
have
660
l.
Salary
,
and
a
gratuity
of
600
l.
at
the
Treasure
Royal.
They
eat
at
the
Masters
of
the
Housholds
Table
.
If
on
a
Council-Day
,
the
Council
be
held
in
any
of
the
Closets
,
then
't
is
the
Usher
of
the
Closets
Duty
,
to
give
notice
of
it
from
the
King
,
to
the
Secretaries
of
State
.
There
two
Ushers
of
the
Anti-Chamber
,
who
have
a
yearly

l.
each
.
They
eat
at
the
Valets
de
Chambrés
Table
,
and
are
allowed
Bread
and
Wine
too
for
their
Breakfast
.
At
New-years-tide
,
the
Queen
,
when
there
is
one
,
gives
for
a
New-Years
Gift
,
4
l
to
the
Ushers
,
a
100
l.
at
each
Station
,
that
is
to
say
100
l.
among
the
Ushers
of
the
Anti-Chamber
,
as
much
to
him
that
keeps
the
Closet
,
and
as
much
among
those
of
the
Bed-Chamber
.
By
which
means
,
he
that
keeps
the
Cabinet
that
day
,
and
that
is
in
waiting
the
first
half
year
beginning
in
January
,
has
as
much
alone
,
as
the
two
Ushers
of
the
Anti-Chamber
,
and
the
four
Ushers
of
the
Bed-Chamber
.
And
formerly
,
when
the
two
Ushers
of
the
Anti-Chamber
waited
by
turns
,
each
their
half
year
;
he
whose
turn
it
was
to
wait
at
New-years-tide
,
had
the
whole
100
l.
to
himself
,
but
since
they
have
been
both
made
ordinary
,
and
serve
all
the
year
round
,
the
said
summ
is
usually
parted
among
them
;
which
Order
was
made
about
twenty
years
ago
.
The
Porte-Manteau
'
s
,
or
Cloak-Carriers
.
Are
twelve
in
number
,
and
serve
quarterly
,
three
each
quarter
,
and
have
yearly
660
l.
Wages
,
upon
the
Establishment
,
and
120
l.
gratuity
at
the
Treasure
Royal
:
They
are
Esquires
by
their
Places
.
Over
these
there
is
one
Porte-Manteau
,
or
Cloak-Carrier
in
Ordinary
,
who
has
a
Salary
of
1320
l.
and
his
Diet
at
Court
at
the
Kings
Serdeau's
,
or
Water-Servers
Table
.
The
Cloak-Carriers
take
the
Oath
of
Fidelity
before
the
Chief
Gentleman
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
then
in
Waiting
;
and
take
from
him
,
Certificates
of
their
Service
.
They
eat
at
the
Valets
de
Chambre's
Table
.
They
are
to
be
present
every
Morning
,
at
the
Kings
rising
,
when
the
King
is
on
a
Journey
,
or
going
any
where
in
the
Country
,
when
he
goes
a
Hunting
,
a
Walking
,
or
to
see
any
Musters
;
or
when
in
ill
weather
his
Majesty
passes
through
any
open
place
a
Foot
,
or
a
Horse-back
,
and
in
any
other
encounters
where
the
Cloak-Carrier
foresees
his
Majesty
may
have
occasion
for
his
Cloak
;
Nay
,
if
his
Majesty
does
but
step
out
of
his
Apartments
into
the
open
Air
,
though
it
be
but
to
cross
the
Courts
of
his
Palace
,
or
walk
in
the
Garden
,
the
Cloak-Carrier
runs
immediately
to
the
Wardrobe
,
and
fetches
his
Majesties
Cloak
,
and
keeps
close
by
him
with
it
,
to
be
ready
to
give
it
him
whenever
he
calls
for
it
.
At
certain
Ceremonies
,
where
his
Majesty
usually
has
a
Cloak
of
State
,
as
at
a
Ball
,
&c.
Every
time
his
Majesty
has
a
mind
to
put
it
off
,
or
on
,
it
is
the
Cloak-Carriers
Office
to
do
it
for
him
.
Besides
the
Cloak
,
these
Cloak-Carriers
are
obliged
to
take
and
keep
in
Custody
all
other
Cloaths
,
or
other
loose
things
the
Kings
puts
off
only
for
the
present
,
with
intention
to
use
them
again
the
same
day
,
as
his
Sword
,
his
Gloves
,
his
Hat
,
his
Muff
,
his
Cane
,
&c.
and
to
be
always
nigh
at
hand
to
give
him
them
;
So
that
by
this
means
,
they
have
Entry
into
almost
all
places
where
the
King
goes
:
But
if
the
King
puts
off
any
of
these
things
with
intent
to
use
them
no
more
that
day
,
then
the
Officers
of
the
Wardrobe
take
charge
of
them
,
and
not
the
Cloak-Carriers
:
And
as
for
his
Sword
,
there
is
something
more
of
Ceremony
observed
in
keeping
,
or
holding
of
that
;
for
sometimes
it
belongs
to
the
Cloak-Carriers
,
and
sometimes
to
the
Gentlemen
of
the
Querry
to
do
it
:
for
when
his
Majesty
wears
Spurs
,
it
belongs
to
the
Gentleman
of
the
Querry
then
in
Waiting
to
carry
his
Majesties
Sword
,
but
when
the
King
goes
out
of
his
House
in
Shoes
only
,
the
Cloak-Carrier
carries
his
Sword
as
far
as
the
steps
of
the
outward
Door
,
and
further
if
the
King
walks
on
Foot
,
or
goes
out
in
a
Coach
with
but
two
Horses
;
but
if
he
mounts
on
Horseback
,
or
goes
out
in
a
Coach
and
six
Horses
,
then
whether
the
King
wears
Spurs
or
no
,
the
Cloak-Carrier
delivers
the
Sword
into
the
hands
of
the
Gentleman
of
the
Querry
,
as
soon
as
he
comes
to
the
said
steps
,
who
when
they
come
back
,
if
the
King
wear
no
Spurs
,
returns
the
Sword
again
to
the
Cloak
Carrier
,
as
soon
as
his
Majesty
lights
from
his
Horse
,
or
out
of
his
Coach
;
but
if
he
wear
Spurs
,
then
the
Gentleman
of
the
Querry
parts
not
with
the
Sword
till
the
Kings
Spurs
be
put
off
.
The
Cloak-Carriers
take
Horse
in
the
Court
of
the
Louvre
,
when
the
King
goes
out
,
and
follow
him
back
again
into
the
Louvre
in
the
same
manner
,
when
he
returns
.
When
the
King
plays
at
Tennis
,
they
present
the
Balls
to
the
King
,
and
keep
account
of
them
;
and
they
reckon
with
the
Master
of
the
Tennis-Court
,
for
the
Expences
made
during
the
time
his
Majesty
was
playing
,
because
the
King
always
pays
them
,
whether
he
win
or
lose
.
The
Cloak-Carrier
that
waits
on
the
Dauphin
,
is

They

,
do
several
other

Title
they
all

Kings
Chyrurgeons
can
keep
none
in
their

In

,
he
gives

In

Morning
when
the

rises
,
he
presents
him
his
Cravat

his
Gloves

The

himself
empties
the
Pockets
of
the
Suit
he
leaves
off
,
into
those
of
the
Suit
he
intends
to
put
on
,
but
the

those
Pockets
to
him

them

his
Prayers
,
he
comes
back

his
Chair
,
where
the
Master
of
the
Wardrobe
,
draws
off
his
Strait-Coat
,
and
Vest
,

his

and
Garters
in
the

,
and
at

.
Their

for
those
,
who
in
their
Certificates
of
Service
,
are
called
the
Trumpeters
and
Drummers
of
the
Chamber
,
because
they
are
entred
in
the
Books
of
the
Establishment
of
the
great
Stable
,
and
are
sworn
by
the
Great
Master
of
the
Horse
;
I
shall
rather
speak
of
them
,
when
I
come
to
treat
of
the
Great
Stable
.
Of
the
Anti-Chamber
.
Before
you
come
to
the
Kings
Chamber
,
there
is
an
Anti-Chamber
,
into
which
the
Usher
lets
no
Body
enter
,
but
those
he
has
order
to
let
in
,
or
that
have
business
there
.
Note
,
That
no
person
ought
to
walk
up
and
down
in
the
Anti-Chamber
.
When
the
King
eats
in
publick
,
the
Table
is
commonly
spread
for
him
in
the
Anti-Chamber
,
and
there
,
whether
it
be
at
Dinner
or
Supper
,
he
is
commonly
served
with
Ceremony
.
After
having
treated
of
the
Bed-Chamber
,
Wardrobe
,
and
Bed-Chamber
,
it
will
be
next
most
proper
to
speak
of
the
Keepers
of
the
Houshold-Stuff
,
or
moveables
above
Stairs
,
and
their
under
Officers
.
There
is
one
Intendant
and
Comptroller-General
of
the
Houshold-Stuff
and
Moveables
of
the
Crown
;
whose
Salary
by
a
Brief

were
fixed
at

l.
yearly
.
One
Keeper-General
of
the
Moveables
of
the
Crown
,
who
has
for
his
own
Salary
,
and
for
keeping
two
men
under
him
,
2000
l.
Three
Yeomen
Keepers
,
at
200
l.
a
piece
.
Two
Pack-Carriers
,
and
a
Porter
.
One
Keeper
of
the
Moveables
and
Furniture
,
for
the
King
,
and
Ambassadours
,
at

l.
There
remain
still
three
Articles
belonging
to
the
Chamber
,
which
may
properly
enough
follow
here
,
viz.
The
Musick
of
the
Chamber
,
the
Gentlemen
in
Ordinary
of
the
Houshold
,
and
the
Officers
of
Health
,
as
the
Physicians
,
Chyrurgeons
,
&c.
Of
the
Musick
of
the
Chamber
.
This
Musick
serves
the
King
commonly
at
Nights
when
he
goes
to
Bed
,
and
at
his
Dinner
;
and
at
Hymns
of
Praises
and
Thanks
Sung
on
Festival
Days
,
and
on
Corpus-Christi
Day
,
they
alone
Play
and
Sing
at
the
reposing
Altars
erected
for
that
Solemnity
.
At
great
Ceremonies
,
it
joins
with
the
Chappel-Musick
,
as
at
the
Kings
Coronation
,
and
Marriage
,
at
the
Creation
of
Knights
,
at
Funeral
Pomps
and
Tenebras
,
and
is
placed
always
on
the
side
of
the
Epistle
.
There
are
two
Super-Intendants
of
the
Musick
,
that
serve
by
turns
,
half
a
year
a
piece
,
who
have
a
yearly
Salary
of
660
l.
and
an
allowance
of
131
l.
12
d.
a
Month
,
for
their
Diet.
The
Super-Intendant
of
the
Musicks
Office
,
is
to
examine
the
Voices
and
Instruments
that
compose
it
,
that
so
his
Majesty
may
have
good
Musick
.
All
that
is
to
be
sung
by
this
Musick
,
is
first
to
be
concerted
in
his
presence
,
and
he
may
,
if
he
please
,
keep
a
Page
with
him
.
There
are
two
Masters
of
the
Children
of
the
Musick
,
who
have
the
charge
of
keeping
and
instructing
the
three
Pages
of
the
Musick
of
the
Chamber
;
and
have
a
Salary
of
720
l.
These
Masters
in
the
absence
of
the
Super-intendant
,
officiate
for
him
.
There
is
one
Composer
of
the
Musick
,
who
may
,
if
he
please
,
be
always
doing
,
and
beating
the
Measures
of
his
Works
,
before
they
come
to
be
examined
by
the
Super-Intendant
;
He
that
now
enjoys
this
place
,
is
the
Famous
Baptist
Lully
,
an
Italian
by
Nation
,
whose
Salary
is
600
l.
There
are
besides
,
several
Singers
and
Players
on
Instruments
belonging
to
this
Musick
,
who
have
each
a
Salary
of
600
l.
and
an
allowance
of
800
l.
for
their
Diet
,
and
80
Crowns
for
their
Horses
to
follow
the
Court.
There
is
likewise
a
Band
of
Violins
,
called
still
the
great
Band
of
24
,
though
they
be
at
present
25
,
who
have
each
a
Salary
of
365
l.
and
play
at
the
Kings
Dinner
,
and
at
Balls
and
Comedies
.
And
another
lesser
Band
,
called
the
little
Violins
,
in
number
21
,
who
have
each
600
l.
Salary
.
They
follow
the
King
along
the
Country
,
and
commonly
play
at
his
Supper
,
and
at
Balls
,
and
other
his
Majesties
Recreations
;
with
whom
,
at
certain
Ceremonies
,
as
at
Coronations
,
Entries
into
Towns
,
Marriages
and
other
great
Solemnities
and
Rejoicings
,
the
other
Band
of
the
Violins
of
the
great
Stables
,
together
with
the
Hoboys
,
and
other
Musick
,
of
which
we
shall
speak
in
their
place
,
are
made
to
play
.
There
is
likewise
one
Usher
in
Ordinary
,
and
Advertiser
of
the
Balets
,
and
one
Keeper
of
the
Musick-Instruments
,
instead
of
the
two
Dwarfs
which
were
used
to
be
specified
in
the
Book
of
Establishment
,
who
have
each
a
Salary
of
300
l.
Note
that
,
whether
it
be
to
insinuate
the
Grandeur
of
the
Kings
and
Sons
of
France
,
above
all
other
Soveraign
Princes
,
or
for
some
other
reason
,
is
uncertain
;
it
is
the
Custom
in
the
Court
of
France
,
that
when
the
Musick
of
the
Kings
Chamber
,
by
his
Majesties
Order
,
goes
to
play
before
any
of
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
except
the
Sons
of
France
,
or
before
any
other
Princes
,
though
they
be
Soveraign
,
if
those
Princes
put
on
their
Hats
,
the
Musick
of
the
Kings
Chamber
put
on
their
Hats
too
.
Thus
they
did
,
before
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
,
at
Nantes
,
in
the
year
1626.
but
at
Perpignan
in
the
year
1642.
the
Prince
of
Morgues
,
being
told
of
this
Priviledge
,
choser
rather
to
hear
the
Musick
Bare-headed
:
The
same
thing
was
observed
at
the
Palace
of
Mazarin
,
before
the
Princes
of
Modena
and
Mantua
,
in
presence
of
the
late
Cardinal
Mazarin
.
Of
the
Gentlemen
in
Ordinary
of
the
Kings
Houshold
.
They
were
Created
by
Henry
the
Third
to
the
number
of
48
;
but
Henry
the
Great
reduced
them
to
24.
They
are
entred
upon
the
Book
of
Establishment
,
and
divided
into
two
Bodies
,
as
serving
each
their
half
year
,
although
they
observe
not
so
exactly
that
Order
in
Waiting
.
The
last
King
Lewis
the
XIII
.
having
exiled
one
of
these
Gentlemen
,
and
given
his
place
to
another
,
the
Queen
Anne
of
Austria
being
Regent
,
re-establisht
him
that
was
Exiled
,
without
Discarding
the
other
that
held
his
place
,
so
that
,
and
since
that
,
another
place
was
added
,
by
way
of
recompense
,
to
a
Gentleman
for
Voyages
he
had
made
to
Constantinople
,
both
which
places
are
still
continued
,
so
that
there
are
at
present
26
,
but
the
number
to
which
Henry
the
IV.
reduced
them
,
was
but
24.
They
ought
to
keep
near
the
Kings
Person
,
to
receive
his
Commands
;
and
when
the
King
has
any
business
to
negotiate
in
Foreign
Countries
,
any
Troops
to
be
conducted
to
the
Army
,
or
to
be
disposed
of
into
Winter-Quarters
;
when
he
has
occasion
to
have
his
pleasure
Communicated
in
the
Provinces
of
his
Kingdom
,
and
in
the
Parliaments
and
Soveraign
Courts
,
he
commonly
makes
use
of
these
Gentlemen
in
Ordinary
.
He
likewise
makes
use
of
them
in
all
Complements
of
Congratulation
or
Condoleance
he
has
a
mind
to
send
to
other
Kings
and
Sovereign
Princes
upon
any
subject
of
Joy
or
Affliction
befallen
them
;
or
when
he
would
sound
their
intentions
in
any
actions
that
seem
to
have
been
done
by
their
Ministers
,
and
owned
by
them
;
as
also
when
he
is
pleased
so
far
to
honour
any
of
the
Princes
and
great
Lords
of
his
Kingdom
,
so
far
as
to
send
to
visit
them
,
or
to
present
them
any
Dignities
,
Offices
,
or
Marks
of
Honour
from
him
.
When
the
King
goes
to
the
Army
,
they
have
the
honour
to
be
his
Aids
de
Camp
,
and
if
any
Prisoners
of
note
be
taken
,
his
Majesty
charges
them
with
the
Conduct
of
them
so
far
as
to
the
Fortresses
where
his
pleasure
is
to
have
them
kept
.
They
are
also
appointed
by
the
King
to
attend
on
Princes
and
Princesses
Exiled
,
that
come
into
France
.
At
the
Funeral
Solemnities
of
any
Children
of
France
,
they
have
the
Honour
to
hold
up
the
Corners
of
the
Pall.
The
King
usually
commits
to
them
the
Government
of
some
young
Prince
or
other
.
They
have
every
of
them
a
Salary
of
2000
l.
a
year
which
is
paid
them
at
the
Treasure-Royal
,
upon
an
establishment
apart
.
They
had
formerly
too
,
a
Table
to
themselves
;
but
at
present
they
eat
at
the
old
Table
of
the
Great
Master
,
otherwise
called
the
Table
of
the
Masters
of
the
Houshold
.
They
had
once
a
Chief
over
them
,
who
was
the
Constable
of
Luynes
,
who
had
been
one
of
them
,
but
they
desired
his
Majesty
,
they
might
have
no
more
.
Nor
has
this
Order
of
Gentlemen
onely
produced
one
Constable
,
but
several
Marshals
of
France
,
and
Knights
of
the
King
Orders
;
as
the
Marshal
de
Toiras
,
the
Marshal
de
Marillac
,
and
several
others
.
And
because
in
all
Books
of
Establishments
made
for
the
Kings
Houshold
,
the
Physicians
and
other
Officers
relating
to
the
preservation
or
recovery
of
health
,
are
always
placed
next
after
those
of
the
Chamber
;
we
shall
therefore
observe
the
same
Order
,
and
speak
now
Of
the
Kings
Physicians
,
and
other
Officers
of
Health
.
Under
these
two
Titles
are
comprehended
,
First
,
The
Physicians

The
Chyrurgions
.
3.
The
Apothecaries

Science

That

sometimes
gives
Orders

England
.
The

Of

There
are

seldom
any

seen
to

but
these
.
Three

the
happiness

to
the

a

though

l.
They
wait
five
every
Quarter
,
and
are
Sworn
by
the
Great
Master
of
the
Kings
Houshold
.
The
Querry
that
is
in
Waiting
,
is
to
attend
at
the
Kings
waking
,
to
know
of
his
Majesty
,
whether
he
will
please
to
ride
out
that
day
,
or
no
;
And
if
the
King
be
to
ride
a
Hunting
,
and
to
wear
Boots
,
he
is
to
put
on
his
Spurs
,
and
he
likewise
pulls
them
off
most
commonly
.
As
soon
as
his
Majesty
has
his
Spurs
on
,
it
belongs
to
the
Querry
in
Waiting
to
take
his
Sword
,
when
he
puts
it
off
,
as
we
have
already
mentioned
in
speaking
of
the
Cloak-Carriers
.
The
Querry
in
Waiting
,
together
with
the
Lieutenant
or
Ensign
of
the
Guards
,
eat
at
the
old
Table
of
the
Great
Master
,
as
do
the
rest
of
his
Companions
,
during
their
Quarters
Waiting
;
and
he
that
waits
on
the
Dauphin
,
has
his
Diet
at
his
Highnesses
Serdeau's
,
or
Water-Servers
.
They
follow
the
King
all
the
day
long
,
and
enter
with
him
every
where
,
unless
it
be
into
the
Council
Chamber
,
or
when
his
Majesty
has
a
mind
to
be
private
,
in
a
Chamber
by
himself
,
and
then
they
wait
in
the
next
Chamber
to
it
.
When
the
King
rides
abroad
,
a
Horse-back
,
or
in
a
Coach
,
the
Querry
follows
next
after
the
Kings
Horse
,
or
Coach
,
that
in
case
his
Majesty
should
fall
,
or
otherwise
need
his
help
,
he
may
be
ready
to
help
him
up
,
and
remount
him
,
or
lend
him
his
hand
when
he
has
a
mind
to
alight
,
or
remount
;
which
is
his
peculiar
Office
;
so
that
when
his
Majesty
passes
through
any
narrow
passage
,
whether
it
be
in
Hunting
,
or
otherwise
,
the
Querry
is
to
follow
immediately
after
the
King
,
and
to
pass
in
those
Rencounters
,
before
the
Captain
,
or
Officer
of
the
Guards
himself
,
then
upon
Duty
.
The
Querry
likewise
often
leads
his
Majesty
,
when
he
is
walking
.
Upon
a
day
of
Battel
,
't
is
the
Querries
Office
,
to
put
on
the
Kings
Armour
.
At
Funerals
of
Kings
,
one
of
the

of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
that
is
,
Lodgings
for
the
Officers
of
it
,
viz.
For
the
first
or
chief
Almoner
,
for
the
chief
Master
of
the
Houshold
,
for
the
Master
of
the
Houshold
in
Ordinary
,
for
the
Captain
of
the
Guards
of
the
Gate
,
for

Lieutenant
and
Ensigns
of
the
Life-guards
,
and
generally
,
for
all
the
other
Officers
of
the
Kings
Houshold
.
It
often
happens
,
that
besides
the
Harbinger
that
marks
out
the
Stables
in
the
Town
,
there
is
another
that
takes
up
Stables
in
the
Neighbouring
Villages
,
and
provides
Lodgings
for
the
Equipages
.
The
King
generally
is
prevail'd
on
,
with
much
facility
,
to
grant
to
the
Marshals
of
his
Lodgings
,
and
his
other
Harbingers
,
Reversions
of
their
Places
,
in
favour
not
only
of
their
Sons
,
but
of
their
Grand-Sons
,
Sons-in-Law
,
Brother
,
and
Nephews
.
He
also
grants
them
Briefs
,
impouring
them
to
retain
or
stop
a
certain
summ
to
be
deducted
out
of
the
yearly
Revenue
of
their
places
,
and
paid
by
their
Successours
,
for
their
Wives
,
if
they
have
no
Children
,
for
their
Daughters
;
if
they
have
no
Sons
,
or
if
they
have
neither
Wives
nor
Children
,
for
the
younger
Brethren
of
their
Family
.
At
the
first
Entries
made
by
Kings
into
any
Cities
of
their
Kingdom
,
the
Officers
of
the
Town
are
to
pay
a
certain
summ
as
a
Fee
,
to
the
Marshals
and
Harbingers
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
or
else
the
one
half
of
the
profits
of
the
Triumphal
Arches
,
Porches
,
Tapistries
,
and
all
the
Decorations
,
is
to
fall
to
the
Marshals
,
and
the
other
to
the
Harbingers
of
the
said
Lodgings
.
The
Marshals
of
the
Queens
Lodgings
,
and
of
those
of
the
Dauphiness
,
of
Monsieur
,
of
Madame
,
and
the
particular
Harbingers
of
the
Princes
of
the
Bloud
,
of
the
Chancery
,
and
of
other
Bodies
,
as
also
the
Men
or
Messengers
sent
by
other
Princes
,
Dukes
and
Peers
,
and
other
great
Lords
,
to
take
up
their
Lodgings
,
receive
their
Quarters
or
Lodgings
from
the
Marshals
and
Harbingers
in
Ordinary
of
the
Kings
Houshold
.
Whenever
Monsieur
,
or
Madame
,
happen
to
be
travelling
in
Company
with
the
Queen
,
or
the
Dauphiness
,
when
the
King
is
not
there
,
then
the
Marshals
or
Harbingers
of
the
Queen
or
Dauphinesses
Lodgings
,
are
to
appoint
Monsieurs
,
or
Madams
Harbingers
,
what
Lodgings
and
Quarters
they
are
to
take
up
.
The
Marshals
and
Harbingers
in
Ordinary
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
are
reputed
to
be
of
the
Body
of
the
Kings
Gend'armes
,
or
Men
at
Arms
,
as
having
been
formerly
drawn
out
of
the
antient
Companies
of
the
said
Gend'armes
;
and
the
late
King
Lewis
the
Thirteenth
,
(
who
under-stood
exactly
well
the
original
of
all
the
different
Offices
of
his
Houshold
)
gave
the
Marshals
of
his
Lodgings
place
in
,
and
incorporated
them
into
his
Company
of
Gend'armes
,
at
the
Head
of
which
,
his
Majesty
usually
fights
on
a
day
of
Battel
,
or
on
any
other
occasion
;
and
made
the
Harbingers
serve
in
his
Company
of
Musketeers
,
at
the
Siege
of
Corbie
,
to
which
service
he
summoned
all
his
whole
Houshold
,
that
is
,
the
Arrire-ban
of
his
Houshold
,
which
he
placed
by
themselves
in
his
Army
.
This
said
number
of
Gend'armes
detached
out
of
the
antient
Companies
,
was
usually
sent
before
,
to
provide
Lodging
and
Quarters
for
his
Majesty
,
and
the
Troops
that
were
with
him
:
And
still
to
this
day
,
the
Marshals
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
both
in
Town
and
Country
,
give
out
the
Orders
for
the
quartering
of
the
French
Life-guards
,
of
the
hundred
Suissers
of
the
Gend'armes
of
the
light
Horse
,
of
the
Musketeers
,
of
the
Regiments
of
the
French
and
Swisse-guards
,
when
all
the
said
Troops
attend
the
King
in
his
march
.
And
in
effect
,
the
Marshals
of
the
Lodgings
in
France
,
are
what
the
Quarter-Masters
are
in
Germany
,
who
rise
to
the
Highest
Commands
in
Armies
.
The
Marshals
and
Harbingers
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
were
formerly
likewise
Marshals
or
Quarter
Masters
of
the
Camps
and
Armies
,
and
the
same
persons
that
provided
Lodgings
for
the
Kings
Houshold
,
always
took
up
Quarters
to
for
the
Armies
,
as
have
done
several
of
them
that
are
still
living
:
But
some
of
their
Body
,
in
the
time
of
the
late
King
Lewis
the
Thirteenth
,
got
themselves
made
Marshals
,
peculiarly
of
the
Camps
and
Armies
,
and
got
Patents
of
it
,
as
of
a
distinct
Office
;
notwithstanding
which
,
the
Marshals
and
Harbingers
of
the
Lodgings
of
the
Houshold
,
serve
still
in
the
Armies
,
either
in
the
absence
of
the
others
who
have
Patents
,
as
is
said
,
for
being
Camp-Marshals
,
or
Quarter-Masters
,
or
when
the
number
of
these
others
is
not
sufficient
for
all
the
Armies
the
King
has
on
Foot
.
When
the
King
is
in
an
Army
,
the
Marshals
of
the
Lodgings
of
his
Houshold
,
have
priviledge
to
take
at
least
two
thirds
of
the
room
,
to
lodge
his
Majesty
,
and
all
the
Officers
of
the
Royal
Houses
;
and
it
was
Ordered
by
the
King
,
that
the
remaining
third
should
be
disposed
of
by
the
said
Marshals
of
the
Lodgings
,
or
Quarter-Masters
of
the
Camps
and
Armies
,
for
the
general
Officers
and
other
Officers
in
the
Army
,
necessary
to
be
near
his
Majesties
Person
:
I
say
,
the
Marshals
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
have
power
to
take
up
at
least
two
thirds
for
the
King
,
because
,
if
after
they
have
divided
the
whole
into
three
equal
parts
,
there
should
remain
two
,
or
but
one
Lodging
over
and
above
;
those
one
or
two
so
over
and
above
,
or
supernumerary
,
are
to
be
taken
up
likewise
for
his
Majesty
and
his
Court
,
that
they
may
be
scanted
.
As
for
Example
,
It
is
true
,
that
where
there
is
but
thirty
Lodgings
,
the
Marshals
of
the
Lodgings
of
the
Houshold
are
to
take
but
twenty
,
and
the
general
Officers
of
the
Army
are
to
have
the
other
ten
;
but
of
fifty
Lodgings
,
or
Lodgments
,
the
Marshals
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
will
take
thirty
four
,
and
the
general
Officers
of
the
Army
will
have
but
sixteen
,
and
of
forty
Lodgments
,
the
Kings
Marshals
will
have
twenty
seven
,
and
leave
the
general
Officers
but
thirteen
.
By
the
antient
Order
,
according
to
the
Rules
made
for
that
purpose
,
none
but
the
Kings
Harbingers
can
mark
out
Lodgings
with
white
Chalk
,
those
of
the
Princes
and
others
being
obliged
for
distinctions
sake
to
mark
out
theirs
with
a
yellow
Crayon
;
with
this
further
difference
,
that
the
Kings
mark
only
is
put
upon
the
Street-Doors
,
and
the
others
only
upon
the
Doors
of
particular
Chambers
within
side
the
House
.
The
Order
observed
in
Quartering
in
an
Army
.
In
an
Army
,
where
the
King
is
Present
,
the
first
Quarter
is
for
him
,
or
where
he
is
not
,
for
the
General
,
and
the
next
belongs
to
a
Marshal
of
France
to
chuse
,
or
if
there
be
two
Marshals
of
France
there
together
,
then
he
that
Commands
that
Day
or
Week
,
is
to
have
the
Choice
,
for
sometimes
they
agree
to
Command
by
turns
,
one
one
Day
,
or
one
Week
,
and
another
another
:
But
if
there
happen
to
be
more
than
two
together
,
without
having
any
Command
there
,
then
they
chuse
their
Quarters
according
to
their
standing
;
And
next
to
the
Marshals
of
France
,
the
Dukes
and
Peers
take
place
;
for
in
Armies
,
Dukes
and
Peers
are
Lodged
always
after
Marshals
of
France
.
But
in
following
the
Court
,
out
of
an
Army
,
this
Order
is
observed
;
First
their
Majesties
are
Lodged
,
then
other
Royal
Persons
,
then
the
Princes
and
Princesses
,
then
the
Great
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
after
them
the
Dukes
and
Peers
,
and
lastly
,
the
Marshals
of
France
.
The
Chancellour
is
Lodged
next
after
the
Princes
,
and
in
marking
his
Lodging
,
the
word
Pour
,
or
for
is
used
,
the
meaning
of
which
,
we
have
already
explained
;
Besides
all
which
,
which
are
called
the
Ranks
,
there
are
the
Preferred
,
of
which
we
have
spoken
.
The
Marshals
and
Harbingers
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
are
also
employed
by
his
Majesties
special
Command
,
to
provide
Lodgings
for
the
Assemblies
of
the
States
General
of
the
Kingdom
,
when
any
are
called
,
or
for
the
States
of
any
particular
Province
,
when
the
King
is
to
be
present
at
them
;
as
likewise
for
the
Assemblies
of
the
Clergy
,
which
is
to
be
understood
when
they
assemble
in
any
other
place
but
Paris
,
for
there
no
Lodgings
are
marked
for
them
.
Likewise
when
the
persons
composing
any
Soveraign
Courts
,
or
other
publick
Bodies
,
are
to
meet
at
St.
Denis
in
France
,
by
the
Kings
Order
,
and
according
to
Custom
,
to
assist
at
the
Funeral
Pomps
or
Solemnities
made
at
the
Burials
,
or
Anniversary
Services
for
Kings
,
Queens
,
and
Princes
,
or
Princesses
of
the
Blood
,
or
others
,
the
Marshals
and
Harbingers
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
go
thither
some
dayes
before
to
provide
them
Lodgings
.
The
King
too
usually
sends
the
said
Marshals
and
Harbingers
of
his
Lodgings
,
to
meet
Foreign
Princes
,
and
Princesses
,
that
come
into
,
or
pass
through
his
Kingdom
,
to
order
and
prepare
Lodgings
for
them
every
where
as
they
pass
.
The
Title
and
Quality
of
Squires
has
been
conferred
and
confirmed
upon
the
Marshals
and
Harbingers
in
Ordinary
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
by
several
Orders
of
the
Council
of
State
.
Next
,
the
Marshals
and
Harbingers
of
the
Lodgings
,
is
the
Captain
of
the
Guides
,
with
his
Company
,
who
is
a
necessary
Officer
in
Journies
.
Of
the
Captain
of
the
Guides
.
The
Office
of
Captain
of
the
Guides
,
for
the
Conducting
of
his
Majesty
,
formerly
enjoyed
by
one
,
is
now
exercised
by
two
Brothers
,
who
part
between
them
the
following
Salary
and
Profits
,
viz.
2000
l.
Salary
paid
quarterly
by
the
Treasurers
of
the
Houshold
,
600
l.
a
Month
extraordinary
during
any
Voyage
or
Journey
,
and
300
l.
when
the
Court
is
at
any
of
the
Royal
Houses
;
they
eat
at
the
Kings
Serdeau's
,
or
Water-Servers
Table
,
with
the
Gentlemen
Waiters
.
The
Captain
of
the
Guides
,
when
the
King
is
on
his
march
along
the
Country
,
is
always
to
keep
by
one
of
the
Boots
or
Portals
of
the
Kings
Coach
,
to
be
ready
to
tell
his
Majesty
the
names
of
the
places
,
Cities
,
Castles
,
Towns
and
Villages
upon
the
Road
,
if
he
ask
them
,
or
resolve
any
other
Question
concerning
them
.
There
are
commonly
at
least
two
Guides
on
Horseback
,
that
wear
the
Kings
Livery
,
that
ride
a
little
before
his
Majesty
to
Conduct
him
,
and
place
themselves
ordinarily
at
the
head
of
the
Light-Horse
.
If
there
be
any
need
of
repairing
the
High-ways
for
the
Kings
Passage
,
the
Captain
of
the
Guides
usually
lays
out
what
is
needful
for
that
purpose
,
and
is
repaid
again
at
the
Treasure-Royal
.
For
fear
the
Officers
of
the
Goblet
,
or
of
the
Mouth
,
should
fail
to
come
up
to
the
place
where
the
King
is
to
eat
,
when
he
is
travelling
along
the
Country
,
the
Captain
of
the
Guides
sometimes
gives
them
notice
,
in
what
part
of
the
Way
his
Majesty
has
a
mind
to
Dine
.
He
has
power
to
settle
Guides
,
to
Conduct
his
Majesty
in
every
Town
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
after
he
has
given
his
Grants
to
the
said
Guides
,
they
are
admitted
as
such
,
before
the
Marshals
of
France
.
These
Guides
wear
the
Kings
Livery
,
and
are
exempted
from
Billeting
of
Souldiers
.
The
Captain
of
the
Guides
is
sworn
by
the
High
Constable
of
France
,
when
there
is

otherwise

The
Title
of
Great
Provost
implies
two
things
:
For
first
,
He
is
Judge
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
Secondly
,
He
is
Captain
of
a
Company
of
a
hundred
Guards
,
called
the
Guards
of
the
Provostship
,
which
is
another
part
of
his
Office
in
the
Kings
House
:
We
shall
speak
of
him
here
only
as
in
the
first
quality
,
reserving
the
latter
till
we
come
to
the
Military
Officers
of
the
Houshold
.
His
Office
is
one
of
the
ancientest
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
one
may
say
,
that
in
the
Jurisdiction
which
he
retains
of
administring
Justice
to
all
the
Kings
Officers
,
and
other
Persons
that
follow
the
Court
,
he
has
succeeded
the
antient
Count
,
or
Mayor
of
the
Palace
,
which
was
an
Office
that
begun
with
the
Monarchy
it self
.
He
is
sworn
by
the
King
himself
,
and
is
received
into
the
Great
Council
,
where
he
takes
place
as
Secretary
of
State
.
He
has
the
Priviledge
to
chuse
his
Lodging
after
the
Princes
,
Dukes
and
Peers
,
and
Marshals
of
France
have
chosen
theirs
;
for
which
reason
,
he
is
called
,
the
last
in
the
Ranks
.
He
has
a
Salary
of
2000
l.
and
an
annual
Gratuity
of
8000
l.
All
the
Officers
of
the
Provost-ship
are
received
by
his
Majesty
upon
the
nomination
of
the
Great
Provost
,
and
afterwards
take
out
Letters
from
the
King
,
under
the
Great
Seal
,
directed
to
the
Great
Council
,
where
they
are
admitted
upon
those
Letters
,
and
qualified
Judges
.
The
Great
Provost
Judges
of
all
matters
,
both
Civil
and
Criminal
,
hapning
between
the
Officers
of
the
Kings
Houshold
among
themselves
,
or
between
them
and
others
which
are
not
so
.
The
Jurisdiction
of
the
Provostship
of
the
Houshold
,
is
the
ordinary
Court
of
Justice
for
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
therefore
from
the
beginning
was
ordered
to
be
kept
in
the
Louvre
,
that
so
the
Kings
Officers
,
and
others
of
his
Court
and
Retinue
,
having
their
natural
Judge
within
the
Kings
House
,
might
not
be
diverted
from
the
service
of
his
Majesty
;
for
some
years
,
the
place
where
the
Provosts
Court
used
to
be
kept
,
being
taken
up
by
the
Queen-Mother
,
it
was
transferred
to
the
Fort-Eveque
,
or
Bishops-Fort
.
At
present
,
the
Officers
of
the
Provostship
,
have
their
Auditory
,
in
the
inclosure
of
the
Great
Council-Chamber
;
there
they
have
their
Hall
of
Audience
,
their
Council-Chamber
,
their
Civil
and
Criminal
Records
,
or
Registers
,
and
there
is
the
Office
of
the
Ushers
of
the
Provostship
.
The
present
King
,
by
a
Brief
bearing
date
the
8th
of
September
,
1658.
declared
,
that
he
would
settle
the
Seat
or
Court
of
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Provost
of
the
Houshold
,
re-established
in
the
Louvre
,
and
that
he
would
cause
a
convenient
place
there
to
be
marked
out
,
and
set
apart
for
that
purpose
.
The
said
Court
is
kept
there
three
times
a
Week
,
viz.
on
Tuesday
,
Thursday
,
and
Saturday-Mornings
.
People
plead
there
by
a
Proctor
,
as
in
other
Courts
,
but
in
a
more
summary
and
concise
way
.
In
civil
matters
there
lies
an
Appeal
from
it
,
to
the
Great
Council
,
but
in
matters
Criminal
,
the
Great
Provost
Judges
without
Appeal
,
as
well
as
the
Masters
of
Requests
,
and
those
of
the
Great
Council
.
The
Officers
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
those
of
his
Court
and
Retinue
,
may
by
special
priviledge
,
bring
all
their
Causes
into
this
Court
,
whether
they
be
Civil
or
Criminal
,
since
the
Court
was
chiefly
erected
in
their
favour
:
There
needs
no
Committimus
to
cite
any
one
that
belongs
to
,
or
follows
the
Court
,
but
only
an
assignation
,
or
warning
,
taken
out
of
the
Provosts
Court
,
by
vertue
of
a
Commission
out
of
the
Registry
there
.
But
as
the
said
persons
have
the
priviledge
to
bring
their
actions
against
their
Debtors
in
this
Court
,
or
to
appeal
from
their
Prosecutors
,
thither
they
may
do
it
,
if
they
please
,
by
vertue
of
their
Committimus
,
and
at
their
choice
,
bring
their
Causes
,
either
before
the
Masters
of
the
Requests
of
the
Palace
,
or
of
the
Requests
of
the
Houshold
,
or
before
the
Provost
of
the
Houshold
.
The
Great
Provost
only
has
power
to
apply
Seals
,
make

of

and
of
the

Retinne
,
and
belonging
to
the
Royal
Houses
,
and
against

,
and
of
several
other

,
the
Great
Provost
Commands
a
sufficient
number
of
Tradesmen
and
Handicrafts-men
to
follow

For

of
Justice
to
the

of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
to
the
rest
of
his
Court
and
Retinue
,
the
great
Provost
has
under
him
two
Lieutenants
which
are
put
in
by
the
King
,
but
named
by
the
Great
Provost
,
and
are
admitted
as
such

but
by
an
Edict
of
the

,
registred
in
the
Great
Council
the
7th

following
,
the
King
made

Flight
of
Merlins
,
to
which
belong
A
Captain
,
or
Chief
,
at

a
Lieutenant-Aid
,
and
a
Master-Falconer
,
at

l.
each
,
two
Prickers
,
at
250
l.
each
,
more
allowed
for
keeping
and
feeding
eight
Hawks
,
438
l.
and
to
the
Keeper
of
the
Perch
,
and
of
the
Hawks
that
are
not
carried
out
,
273

and
36
l.
for
Shoes
;
which
amounts

to

The
Merlins
are
made
use
of
to
flie
at
the
young
Partridge
,
whilst
the
light
Hawks
are
mewing
or
casting
their
Feathers
;
they
are
used
likewise
for
the
Quail
,
the
Black-bird
,
the
Sky-Lark
,
and
other
small
Birds
,
as
likewise
to
fly
at
the
Pigeon
Brow-strung
.
The
Flight
with
the
Merlins
is
particular
to
the
Kings
Cabinet
,
being
in
no
other
Royal
Falconry
but
that
of
the
Cabinet
.
This
Flight
is
performed
from
the
Fist
,
that
is
,
when
they
are
minded
to
let
flie
at
a
young
Partridge
,
they
attack
her
not
till
the
Dogs
have
raised
her
,
and
there
is
no
difference
in
the
way
of
flying
this
little
Bird
,
and
the
Falcon
called
a
Blocker
,
but
only
that
one
may
carry
a
Merlin
without
Hood-winking
,
upon
the
Fist
,
whereas
a
Falcon
must
be
always
carried
Hood-winked
,
whether
it
be
let
flie
one
way
or
the
other
.
In
flying
at
the
Black-Bird
,
and
other
small
Birds
,
they
use
Poles
to
beat
them
out
of
the
Hedges
,
and
Cross-Bowes
to
have
the
pleasure
of
killing
them
,
when
they
cannot
be
got
out
of
their
holds
,
or
shelters
,
where
they
are
attacked
.
Of
all
the
several
sorts
of
Birds
that
the
Merlins
are
used
to
fly
at
,
none
is
more
delightful
,
gives
more
diversion
,
or
shows
more
the
eagerness
and
courage
of
the
Merlins
,
than
the
Sky-Larks
;
because
they
commonly
endeavour
to
save
themselves
by
soaring
aloft
,
and
so
draw
the
Couragious
Merlins
up
to
the
very
Clouds
,
from
whence
they
force
them
to
descend
,
and
to
endeavour
to
light
in
some
Thicket
,
or
some
other
shelter
,
which
before
they
can
reach
,
the
Merlins
commonly
take
them
.
The
manner
of
flying
them
at
the
Pigeon
Brow-strung
,
is
thus
:
two
strings
are
passed
through
the
lower
Eylids
of
the
Pigeon
,
and
then
tied
so
together
above
her
Head
,
so
that
her
Eylids
are
drawn
up
,
that
she
cannot
see
downwards
at
all
,
but
only
upward
,
and
then
she
is
thrown
with
the
hand
as
high
into
the
Air
as
a
Man
can
throw
her
,
where
seeing
no
way
but
upward
,
she
is
forc'd
to
soar
upwards
by
spirts
,
and
when
she
is
mounted
reasonably
high
,
the
Falconers
send
the
Merlins
,
who
overtake
her
,
and
never
leave
pursuing
her
,
till
they
have
fastened
on
her
,
and
brought
her
down
;
which
sort
of
scuffle
lasts
very
often
a
great
while
,
and
gives
the
most
pleasure
.
The
total
summ
of
the
expence
of
the
four
Flights
belonging
to
the
Cabinet
amounts
to
14500
l.
besides
what
is
allowed
for
the
buying
of
the
Hawks
,
for
the
Crow
,
and
the
Merlins
,
the
Hens
,
and

The
first
priviledged
Merchants
that
follow
the
Court
,
are
the
twelve
Wine-Merchants
,
called
,
the
Celler
of
twelve
,
besides
their
Deputy
,
or
Deputies
,
which
they
keep
at
the
Celler
called
,
the
Celler
of
twelve
:
These
Wine-Merchants
commonly
attend
very
diligently
at
Paris
,
and
at
the
Royal
Houses
nigh
Paris
;
but
in
Journies
,
and
at
Fountainbleau
it self
,
which
passes
with
them
for
a
Journey
,
two
of
these
Master
Wine-Merchants
,
serve
either
two
whole
Months
together
,
or
else
,
the
space
of
two
Months
at
several
times
;
as
for
Example
,
if
the
two
in
Waiting
,
had
served
but
one
Month
at
Fountainbleau
,
the
same
two
are
obliged
to
serve
out
another
Month
the
first
Journey
that
is
taken
.
These
places
are
sold
for
about
25000
l.
apiece
,
and
the
Officers
possessing
them
,
have
so
confirmed
them
to
themselves
by
agreement
with
the
Great
Provost
,
that
when
they
die
,
he
disposes
not
of
their
places
,
but
gives
leave
to
the
next
Heir
,
either
to
succeed
in
them
,
or
to
sell
them
;
but
for
this
Priviledge
,
every
one
of
the
twelve
pay
him
an
annual
Tribute
of
400
l.
which
is
a
kind
of
a
Paulette
,
or
Continuation-Fee
.
They
have
the
sole
Priviledge
of
selling
Wine
in
Bottles
to
those
that
follow
the
Court.
The
twenty
five
Vintners
or
Sutlers
that
follow
the

,
are
lodged
always
at
the
Sign
of
the
White-Cross
,
and
are
bound
to
dress
Victuals
for
people
,
as
well
as
to
sell
Wine
,
whereas
the
Wine-Merchants
of
the
Cellar
of
twelve
,
sell
only
Wine
.
Their
Places
are
sold
at
about
12000

There
is
a
Chaplain
of
all
the
Merchants
following
the
Court
,
commonly
called

the
Chaplain
of
St.
Barbara
,
which
says
Mass
for
them
every
Sunday
,
at

,
at
the
Convent
of
the
Penitent
Women
,
or

the

of
St.
Mary
Magdalen
at
Paris
;
where
every
of
them
,
in
his
turn
,
presents
the
Holy-Bread
.
Note
,
That
none
of
these
Priviledged
Merchants
and
Artisans
,
nor
those
neither
of
the
Kings
Wardrobe
,
and
other
Royal
Houses
,
can
enjoy
their
Priviledges
any
otherwise
but
from
the
day
their
Grants
or
Commissions
were
registred
in
the
Register-Book
of
the
Provost-ship
of
the
Houshold
,
as
it
has
been
determined
by
an
Order
of
both
the
Privy
and
Great
Council
.
There
are
likewise
several
other
Tradesmen
set
down
in
the
Book
of
Establishment

as
the
Printer
for
Musick
,
and
others
.
Before
we
end
this
Chapter
of
the
Priviledged
Merchants
,
it
is
not
amiss
to
add
this
remark
,
that
besides
these
there
are
others
called
Veterans
,
or
old
Standers
,
who
after
a
long
times
service
,
though
they
quit
their
places
,
still
enjoy
the
same
Priviledges
as
when
they
were
actually
in
Office
,
as
some
do
that
were
formerly
the
Kings
Barbers
,
who
still
enjoy
their
Priviledges
,
and
by
vertue
of
the
same
,
keep
open
Shop
.
But
they
commonly
,
when
they
go
off
,
get
Letters
from
the
King
,
whereby
they
are
declared
Veterans
.

.
Of
the
Priviledges
of
the
Commoners
,
or
those
that
are
tabled
in
the
Kings
Household
.
THE
Domestick
Officers
and
Commoners
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
other
Royal
Housholds
,
have
from
all
Antiquity
,
enjoyed
several
Priviledges
and
Immunities
,
but
because
it
would
be
too
tedious
to
recite
all
the
Decrees
and
Declarations
made
and
repeated
several
times
,
in
confirmation
of
their
Priviledges
,
we
shall
only
quote
some
of
the
latest
date
,
which
will
be
as
significant
as
if
they
were
all
inserted
at
length
.
Priviledges
common
to
all
the
Kings
menial
Officers
and
Servants
in
general
.
First
,
As
to
their
exemption
from
Taxes
,
though
that
priviledge
has
been
sometimes
suspended
in
time
of
War
,
but
it
was
re-established
again
by
a
Declaration
of
the
26th
of
November
,
1643.
which
was
verified
in
the
Court
of
Aids
,
the
10th
of
December
the
same
year
;
which
exempts
the
said
Officers
from
paying
Taxes
,
Taillons
,
or
lesser
Taxes
,
Subsistance-money
,
in
lieu
of
Billeting
Souldiers
,
and
all
extraordinary
Impositions
for
any
thing
of
their
own
growth
:
But
he
that
would
enjoy
this
exemption
,
must
get
an
Extract
of
his
being
entred
on
the
Establishment
,
which
is
at
the
Court
of
Aids
,
Signed
by
the
Register
or
Recorder
of
that
Court
in
the
usual
manner
;
and
he
must
be
registred
as
such
in
the
Office
of
his
Election
,
and
published
in
his
Parish
Church
.
The
Declaration
runs
thus
.
Having
considered
that
it
would
be
in
some
sort
to
debase
the
Lustre
of
the
Royal
Family
,
and
of
our
Blood
,
to
retrench
the
Priviledges
of
the
Officers
thereunto
belonging
,
and
deprive
them
of
that
mark
of
honour
to
the
tenderness
of
their
affection
,
and
the
fidelity
of
their
services
,
for
these
causes
,
notwithstanding
the
Edict
of
November
,
1640.
We
Declare
,
that
all
our
Domestick
Servants
and
Commoners
,
the

CHAP.
XXVII
.
Of
the
Military
Officers
,
and
Troops
of
the
Kings
Houshold
.
THE
Kings
of
France
have
always
kept
several
Guards
for
their
Security
,
and
to
preserve
a
Life
,
that
is
,
the
Lives
of
their
Subjects
.
We
read
in
Gregory
of
Tours
,
in
the
eighth
Chapter
of
his
seventh
Book
,
that
Gontran
King
of
Orleans
,
or
of
the
Burgundian
part
of
France
,
seeing
his
two
Brothers
,
Sigebert
King
of
Mets
,
or
Austrasia
,
being
that
part
of
France
towards
Germany
,
including
Lorrain
and
the
Neighbouring
Provinces
,
and
Chilperic
King
of
Paris
,
and
of
Soissons
,
had
been
assassinated
,
placed
a
great
Guard
about
his
Person
,
about
the
year
587.
without
which
,
he
never
went
to
Church
,
or
to
his
Recreations
.
So
upon
different
occasions
,
the
Guards
have
been
reinforced
and
augmented
.
Philip
Augustus
being
in
the
Holy
Land
in
the
year
1192.
established
Serjeants
at
Arms
,
or
Mace-Bearers
,
as
may
be
seen
in
the
Great
Chronicles
,
where
the
Old
Historian
,
La
Montagne
,
speaking
of
the
Assasines
,
or
rather
Arsacides
,
a
Desperate
sort
of
people
of
Syria
,
whom
their
Princes
used
to
send
to
assasinate
the
most
couragious
and
active
Princes
among
the
Christians
,
uses
these
words
:
When
the
King
(
says
he
)
heard
this
news
,
be
began
to
be
fearful
of
himself
,
and
by
advice
of
his
Council
,
resolved
to
have
his
Person
well
guarded
,
and
chose
Serjeants
with
Macis
,
well
armed
and
accoutred
,
who
were
night
and
day
to
attend
him
,
to
guard
his
Person
.
The
said
King
made
use
of
the
said
Serjeants
,
at
the
Battel
of
Bouvines
,
who
behaved
themselves
that
day
so
valiantly
,
that
St.
Lewis
in
the
year
1229.
founded
for
them
,
in
memory
of
that
action
,
the
Church
of
St.
Catharine
du
Val
,
of
the
Scholars
of
Paris
,
according
to
an
Inscription
to
be
seen
upon
two
Stones
at
the
entring
into
the
said
Church
,
which
contains
these
words
:
At
the
intreaty
of
the
Serjeants
at
Arms
,
Monsieur
St.
Lewis
founded
this
Church
,
and
laid
the
first
stone
of
it
,
for
Joy
of
the
Victory
obtained
at
the
Bridge
of
Bouvines
,
in
the
year
1214.
The
Serjeants
at
Arms
,
then
in
being
,
had
the
keeping
of
the
said
Bridge
,
and
vowed
to
God
,
that
if
he
would
give
them
the
Victory
,
they
would
found
a
Church
,
and
dedicate
it
to
St.
Catharine
,
which
was
performed
accordingly
:
Where
it
is
remarkable
,
that
there
are
four
Serjeants
at
Arms
,
represented
upon
those
two
Stones
,
but
in
a
different
manner
:
There
are
two
upon
one
of
them
,
holding
in
their
hands
their
Maces
at
Arms
,
and
armed
Cap-a-pee
to
represent
the
Serjeants
at
Arms
,
as
they
were
in
the
Army
,
and
upon
the
other
stone
,
there
are
two
more
,
whereof
one
is
Clothed
with
a
Coat
with
great
Sleeves
,
cut
in
Labels
,
wearing
a
Collar
hanging
down
upon
his
Breast
,
and
I
suppose
that
signifies
the
Usher
at
Arms
,
Waiting
at
the
Door
of
the
Chamber
,
(
for
still
to
this
day
,
the
Ushers

writes
,
that
some
of
them
were
appointed
to
carry
Maces
before
the
King
in
the
day
time
,
and
were
called
Vshers

now
supplyed
by
the
Ushers
of
the
Kings
Chamber
,
and
others
to
guard
his
Chamber
in
the
night
time
.
These
Guards
then
took
their
name
from
the
Arms
they
used
,
and
so
when
they
quitted
the
Mace
to
take
the
Bow
they
were
called
Archers
.
Charles
the
Seventh
entertained
a
Guard
of
Scotch

the
Auxiliary
Forces

over
to
him

the
Earls
of
Bucan
,
Douglas

them
the

established
a
Company
of
a
hundred
Lanciers
for
his
Guard
,
under
the
Command
of
one
Hector
de
Golart
,
who
were
every
one
of
them
to
have
in
their
Retinue
,
one
Man
at
Arms
,
and
two
Archers
:
But
afterwards
he
discharged
the
Lanoiers
of
their
Archers
,
and
took
them
to
himself
,
composing
of
them
a
little
Life-guard
of
two
hundred
Archers
,
making
one
Lewis
de
Graville
their
Captain
.
In
the
year
1479.
when
the
same
King
began
to
grow
Melancholy
,
and
suspitious
,
he
set
up
another
French
Company
of
Guards
,
of
which
one
Claudius
de
la
Chatre
was
Captain
.
The
same
Lewis
the
Eleventh
too
,
at
the
Recommendation
of
Charles
the
Seventh
,
retained
the
Suissers
in
his
Service
,
and
in
the
year
1481.
being
at
Tours
,
he
made
an
Alliance
with
them
,
and
took
a
Company
of
that
Nation
,
for
the
Ordinary
Guard
of
his
Person
.
Charles
the
Eight
in
1497.
set
up
a

to
which
the
next
year
,
he
added
forty
five
more
,
under
the
Command
of
Raoul
de
Vernon
.
But
at
length
all
these
Companies
were
reduced
to
those
now
in
being
whose
Denominations
differ
as
much
from
the
others
,
as
the
Arms
now
in
use
from
those
then
in
Mode
.
The

The
four
Companies
being

described
,
we
shall
proceed
to
shew
next
what
Order
they
observe
in
doing
duty
.
To
take
away
all
suspition
,
and
to
make
it
impossible
for
a
Captain
to
have
intelligence
,
or
any
secret
Combination
with
all
the
people
he
has
with
him
,
they
are
so
intermixed
,
that
the
Captain
that
is
in
Waiting
,
has
the
Lieutenants
and
Ensigns
of
another
Captain
;
and
the
Guards
themselves
are
composed
of
a
Medley
of
a
certain
number
of
Souldiers
taken
out
of
every
Company
,
to
serve
that
quarter
.
The
Captains
,
the
Major
,
the
Lieutenants
,
Ensigns
,
Aid-Majors
and
Exempts
of
these
Companies
,
bear
all
a
Staff
of
Command
in
their
Hands
in
the
Kings
House
,
and
accompany
his
Majesty
all
the
day
long
,
a
Foot
,
and
a
Horseback
.
The
Brigadeers
have
Partizans
.
Note
,
That
those
that
were
formerly
Great
Exempts
,
had
besides
their
Wages
and
Gratuity
,
an
allowance
of
fifty
Crowns
,
which
they
went

at
their

end
,

The
King
allows
the
Guards
every
day
twenty
four
Quarts
of
Wine
,
and
twenty
four
Loaves
,
which
the
Clerk
of
the

of
every
Company
causes
to
be
brought

,
which
was
formerly
distributed

but
now
it
is
all
dealt
out
to
them
in
the
Morning
,
which
Wine
is
called
the
Watch-Wine
.
They
have
allowed
them
,
besides

,
on
the
four
Great

have
Prayer-Books
,
and
Linnen-Cloth
given
them
;
and
on
Candle-mass
and
Corpus-Christi
Days
,
Wax-Gandles
;
they
enjoy
the
same
Priviledges
as
Commoners
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
are
Squires
by
their
Places
,
that
Quality
having
been
confirmed
to
them
by
several
Declarations
and
Decrees
.
Of
the
Guards
,
called
the
Guards
de
la
Manche
,
or
of
the
Sleeve
.
They
are
twenty
five
in
number
,
counting
the
Chief
,
or
first
Man
at
Arms
of
France
,
who
has
300
l.
Salary
.
The
other
twenty
four
have
570
l.
yearly
allowance
,
and
their
Diet
at
the
Kings
Serdeau's
,
or
Water-Servers
Table
.
They
are
divided
into
six
Brigades
,
allowing
six
to
each
Brigade
.
When
any
of
these
Guards
de
la
Manche
,
fail
to
come
and
do
Duty
,
the
King
causes
their
Places
to
be
supplied
by
some
of
the
Gentlemen
of
his
Life-Guards
.
They
wait
two
and
two
always
at
the
King's
Sleeve
,
whence
they
have
their
Name
,
only
at
Great
Ceremonies
,
they
are
six
.
They
are
chosen
out
of
the
Scotch
Company
of
Guards
.
Their
particular
Functions
are
as
follows
.
When
the
King
is
to
go
to
any
Church
or
Chappel
,
to
hear
Mass
,
Vespers
,
Tenebres
,
or
Sermon
,
or
to
assist
at
any
Christning
or
Marriage
,
two
Guards
of
the
Sleeve
,
or
Manche
,
always
goes
thither
before
,
and
wait
for
the
King
,
in
their
white
Hoquetons
,
or
Jackets
,
set
with
Gold
and
Silver
Spangles
,
with
Partisans
,
fringed
with
silver
in
their
hands
,
with
Damaskt
Blades
:
When
his
Majesty
is
come
,
they
keep
on
each
side
of
him
,
always
standing
,
but
only
just
at
the
time
of
the
Elevation
,
with
their
Faces
towards
the
King
,
to
have
an
Eye
on
all
sides
,
upon
his
Sacred
Person
.
When
the
King
eats
in
publick
at
home
,
either
alone
,
or
with
the
Queen
,
or
any
other
Royal
Person
,
whether
at
Dinner
or
Supper
,
two
Guards
of
the
Sleeve
,
Habited
and
Armed
after
the
same
manner
,
keep
always
on
each
side
of
him
,
in
the
same
posture
,
that
is
to
say
,
standing
upright
,
with
their
Faces
turned
towards
his
Person
.
Every
two
Nights
in
three
,
one
of
the
Guards
de
la
Manche
,
or
of
the
Sleeve
,
goes
at
Midnight
to
the
Principal
Gate
of
the
Louvre
,
or
of
any
other
of
the
Kings
Palaees
,
some
time
before
the
Watch
is
called
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Officers
and
Guards
that
are
to
compose
the
Court
of
Guard
,
that
are
to
do
Duty
that
Night
at
the
Gate
,
where
he
receives
the
Keys
from
the
hands
of
one
of
the
Guards
of
the
Scotch
Company
,
to
whom
only
the
Guards
of
the
Gate
deliver
the
Keys
at
six
a
Clock
every
Night
:
And
he
is
to
keep
these
Keys
till
the
Watch
be
called
,
and
then
he
is
to
shut
all
the
Doors
;
and
when
he
is
called
by
the
Clerk
of
the
Watch
,
to
answer
in
Scotch
,
I
am
here
,
and
at
the
same
time
,
to
present
the
Keys
to
the
Captain
of
the
Guards
then
in
Waiting
,
if
he
be
present
when
the
Watch
is
called
,
or
in
his
absence
,
to
the
Commander
in
Chief
.
But
it
often
happening
,
that
after
the
Watch
is
called
,
there
are
still
several
persons
to
go
out
of
the
Louvre
.
The
Guard
of
the
Sleeve
,
opens
it
to
all
that
would
go
out
,
and
shuts
it
again
till
it
be
time
to
shut
it
for
good
and
all
;
which
being
come
,
after
the
Brigadier
,
with
a
Torch
in
his
hand
,
and
accompanied
by
the
Aid-Major
,
has
visited
all
places
,
and
warned
every
one
with
a
load
Voice
to
go
out
,
the
Guard
of
the
Sleeve
shuts
all
the
Doors
,
and
then
taking
with
him
the
said
Brigadeer
that
carries
the
Torch
,
and
the
Aid-Major
.
He
carries
all
the
Keys
to
the
Captain
then
in
Waiting
,
or
in
his
absence
,
to
him
that
supplies
his
place
,
and
puts
them
under
his
Bolster
,
in
their
presence
:
I
say
they
do
this
every
two
Nights
in
three
,
because
,
every
third
Night
't
is
a
Scotch
Brigadeer
that
does
those
Duties
,
and
then
the
Guards
of
the
Steeve
begin
again
,
till
it
come
again
to
the
Brigadeer
,
and
so
all
along
.
It
is
likewise
a
Scotch
Brigadeer
that
goes
and
takes
the
Keys
again
of
the
Captain
or
Commander
every
Morning
,
at
six
a
Clock
.
The
Guards
of
the
Sleeve
wait
Monthly
,
two
every
Month.
On
Maundy-Thursdays
they
wait
for
the
King
at
the
Door
of
the
Hall
,
where
the
usual
Ceremony
of
the
Day
is
performed
,
keeping
always
on
each
side
of
his
Majesty
,
during
the
time
of
the
Sermon
,
and
Absolution
,
and
following
him
along
the
Hall
,
while
his
Majesty
is
washing
the
poor
Peoples
Feet
,
and
serving
up
their
Meat
to
the
Table
.
When
the
King
assists
at
any
Processions
,
as
on
Corpus
Christi
Day
,
Candlemas
,
Palm-Sunday
,
and
at
the
Assumption
of
our
Lady
,
and
when

two
Ushers
of
the
Chamber
bearing
Maces
,
march
only
before
his
Majesty
,
but
the
Guards
of
the
Sleeve
march
close
by
his
sides
,
and
when
the
Sacrament
was
carried
in
1666.
to
the
Queen
Mother
,
Anne
of
Austria
,
these
Guards
Accompanied
the
King
all
the
way
as
he
went
on
Foot
from
the
Louvre
to
the
Church
,
and
back
again
.
At
Extraordinary
Ceremonies
,
as
when
his
Majesty
is
pleased
to
appear
in
an
Extraordinary
manner
in
Parliament
,
at
the
Creation
or
Instalment
of
Knights
,
at
Coronations
and
Marriages
of
Kings
,
at
the
Christning
of
their
Children
,
and
at
Royal
Funerals
.
When
his
Majesty
is
minded
to
sit
in
Parliament
,
they
go
to
the
Palace
,
and
wait
at
the
Door
at
the
top
of
the
Great
Stairs
called
the
May-Pole
Door
,
and
conduct
him
as
far
as
the
Entry
of
the
Bar
in
the
Great
Chamber
.
And
when
the
King
hears
Mass
at
the
Holy
Chappel
,
as
he
commonly
does
before
he
goes
to
Parliament
,
they
wait
on
him
at
his
sides
in
the
manner
above-described
,
and
when
Mass
is
done
,
conduct
him
thence
to
the
Great
Chamber
,
where
they
stay
for
him
at
the
Entry
of
the
Bar
of
the
said
Chamber
,
whence
when
he
comes
out
,
they
reconduct
him
to
the
top
of
the
said
Great
Stairs
,
or
else
to
his
Coach
:
At
the
Creation
or
Instalment
of
Knights
,
six
of
these
Guards
wait
for
the
King
three
days
one
after
another
,
at
the
Door
of
the
House
where
the
Assembly
of
the
Knights
is
held
,
and
Accompany
the
King
step
by
step
,
from
thence
,
to
the
Church
,
and
every
time
he
moves
from
his
place
,
they
march
always
close
by
his
sides
.
At
the
Coronation
of
any
King
,
six
Guards
of
the
Sleeve
,
having
under
their
Hoquetons
,
or
upper
Jackets
,
short-truss'd
white
Satin-Coats
,
with
Bonnets
and
Silk
stockings
answerable
,
wait
without
the
Door
of
the
Kings
Chamber
,
from
eight
in
the
Morning
,
till
his
Majesty
comes
out
to
go
to
Church
,
whither
,
and
where-ever
else
he
goes
,
they
continually
accompany
him
.
At
the
Kings
Wedding
,
they
have
new
and
very
rich
Hoquetons
,
or
Jackets
.
At
the
Kings
Funeral
,
they
wear
Mourning
Suits
under
their
Hoquetons
,
or
Jackets
,
and
keep
guard
night
and
day
about
the
Body
or
Effigies
of
his
Majesty
as
long
as
it
lies
in
State
:
They
onely
are
to
put
his
Body
into
the
Coffin
;
and
when
the
Body
is
transported
to
St.
Denis
Church
,
which
as
Westminster-Abbey
here
is
the
place
of
the
Sepulchres
of
the
Kings
of
France
,
they
go
before
and
wait
for
it
in
the
Chappel
where
it
is
to
be
deposited
,
and
keep
Guard
about
it
,
till
it
be
put
into
the
Vault
,
down
into
which
,
they
only
are
to
carry
it
.
In
all
the
Ceremonies
and
Solemnities
above-mentioned
,
they
have
always
their
Partisans
in
their
hands
,
and
their
Hoquetons
,
or
Jackets
on
their
backs
,
on
which
,
both
before
and
behind
,
a
Hercules's
Club
was
wrought
with
these
words
about
it
,
Erit
haec
quoque
cognita
Monstris
;
And
the
Monsters
shall
also
know
,
or
feel
this
;
which
was
the
Motto
of
Henry
the
Great
:
But
in
the
year
1671.
Lewis
the
Fourteenth
of
that
Name
,
at
present
Gloriously
Reigning
,
caused
his
own
Devise
and
Motto
to
be
wrought
on
the
said
Jackets
,
which
is
the
Figure
of
a
Sun
giving
light
to
the
World
,
with
this
Motto
,
Nec
pluribus
impar
,
that
is
,
Neither
is
he
an
unequal
Match
for
many
.
When
the
King
makes
his
first
Entry
into
any
of
the
Cities
in
his
Dominions
,
there
is
due
to
each
of
the
two
Guards
of
the
Sleeve
then
in
Waiting
,
from
the
Magistrates
of
the
City
,
a
Silver-Hilted
Sword
;
The
same
Fees
are
due
to
them
from
any
Bishops
or
Prelates
when
they
take
the
Oath
of
Fidelity
to
the
King
.
They
are
allowed
the
same
allowance
of
Bread
and
Wine
every
day
,
as
they
have
that
are
upon
the
Watch
,
and
have
their
Diet
at
the
Kings
Serdeaus
,
or
Water-Servers
Table
,
with
the
Gentlemen-Waiters
,
and
a
little
Chamber
to
lie
in
,
in
the
Guard-Chamber
,
if
there
be
convenience
for
it
.
The
particular
Duties
and
Prerogatives
of
the
Captains
of
the
Guards
.
The
Captains
of
the
Guards
are
sworn
by
the
King
himself
,
and
receive
the
Oath
themselves
in
the
Guard-Chamber
,
from
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
of
the
Companies
of
Life-Guards
under
their
Command
.
The
Captain
of
the
Guards
that
is
in
Waiting
,
never
leaves
the
King
from
the
times
he
rises
,
or
goes
forth
of
his
Chamber
,
until
his
Majesty
be
in
Bed
,
and
then
he
goes
out
into
the
Guard-Chamber
,
to
see
the
Watch
called
,
where
upon
his
Arrival
,
the
Clerk
of
the
Watch
,
with
a
loud
Voice
,
calls
over
the
Names
of
the
Guards
that
are
to
lie
that
Night
in
the
Guard-Chamber
;
and
then
the
said
Captain
having
taken
notice
who
are
wanting
,
he
goes
down
to
the
Gate
,
and
sets
the
Watch
,
and
then
is
Conducted
to
his
own
Apartment
.
The
same
Clerk
of
the
Watch
calls
over
too
the
twelve
Suissers
,
that
are
to
lie
at
the
upper
end
of
the
said
Guard-Chamber
,
in
presence
of
the
Officers
of
the
Company
of
a
hundred
Suissers
,
who
after
that
,
is
in
like
manner
Conducted
to
his
Lodging
.
The
Captain
of
the
French-Guards
marches
and
keeps
always
immediately
next
the
King
,
and
near
his
Person
,
where
ever
he
be
or
goes
,
whether
at
Table
,
on
Horseback
,
and
in
a
Coach
,
and
any
where
else
;
without
suffering
any
to
step
between
the
King
and
him
,
that
so
nothing
may
hinder
him
from
having
always
his
Eye
upon
His
Majesties
Sacred
Person
.
It
's
true
,
that
in
a
very
narrow
passage
,
the
Captain
of
the
Guards
lets
the
Querry
pass
before
him
,
and
nearer
the
Kings
Person
,
because
he
may
have
the
conveniency
to
assist
his
Majesty
upon
any
accident
requiring
his
service
.
The
Lieutenant
of
the
Guards
marches
almost
always
before
the
King
,
because
the
Captain
of
the
hundred
Suissers
,
to
whom-that
Place
is
assigned
,
is
most
commonly
not
there
;
but
when
he
is
there
,
then
the
Lieutenant
of
the
Guards
places
himself
on
the
Kings
right
hand
,
and
the
Ensign
on
his
left
;
but
in
the
absence
of
his
Captain
,
he
takes
his
place
,
and
follows
immediately
behind
his
Majesty
.
The
King
honours
the
Captain
of
the
Guards
with
a
place
in
one
of
the
Coaches
,
or
Caleches
of
the
Body
,
and
sometimes
in
the
same
Coach
with
himself
;
and
if
his
Majesty
rides
out
on
Horse-back
,
the
Captain
of
the
Guards
takes
Horse
in
the
very
Court
of
the
Louvre
,
and
at
present
,
both
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
of
the
Life-Guards
,
wait
for
the
King
,
ready
mounted
,
in
the
Court
of
the
Louvre
,
for
fear
whilst
they
are
waiting
for
him
at
one
Door
,
he
should
go
out
at
another
.
The
Captain
of
the
Guards
in
the
time
of
his
Waiting
,
always
Lodges
in
the
Kings
Palace
,
as
near
as
may
be
conveniently
to
his
Majesties
Chamber
;
and
in
any
of
the
Kings
Palaces
has
the
very
first
Apartment
next
the
Kings
,
and
before
all
other
Officers
:
At
Night
he
keeps
the
Keys
,
as
we
have
said
,
under
his
Bolster
.
When
the
King
gives
Audience
to
an
Ambassadour
,
the
Captain
of
the
Guards
receives
him
at
the
Guard-Chamber
Door
,
and
conducts
him
to
the
Audience-Chamber
;
during
the
Audience
he
stands
near
the
Rails
,
and
when
it
is
done
,
he
conducts
the
Ambassadour
back
again
,
all
along
the
Guard-Chamber
,
as
far
as
the
Door
,
the
Guards
making
a
Lane
for
them
all
the
way
.
The
Captain
and
Lieutenant
of
the
Scotch
Company
may
always
take
their
place
near
the
King
though
they
be
not
in
Waiting
.
When
the
Guards
that
remain
of
the
four
Companies
of
Life-Guards
,
that
are
not
in
Waiting
,
or
upon
Duty
,
are
drawn
up
(
which
is
commonly
called
a
Cornette
of
the
Guards
)
whether
it
be
to
follow
the
King
,
or
for
any
other
Service
,
they
are
Commanded
by
the
Scotch
Lieutenant
,
as
was
seen
when
the
King
was
going
to
Marsal
.
At
the
first
Entries
the
King
makes
into
any
Cities
of
his
Dominions
,
the
Scotch
Officer
in
Waiting
,
takes
for
his
Fees
,
the
Silver
Keys
that
the
Magistrates
of
the
City
come
to
present
his
Majesty
;
and
besides
,
the
said
Magistrates
are
to
give
two
pieces
of
Velvet
to
the
Scotch
Captain
,
and
one
to
his
Lieutenant
,
or
in
their
absence
,
to
such
other
Scotch
Officers
as
Command
in
their
places
.
The
Guards
of
the
Scotch
Company
only
keep
the
Keys
of
the
Doors
of
the
Quires
of
the
Churches
where
his
Majesty
is
,
as
also
those
of
the
Louvre
,
at
Night
,
which
when
the
King
is
in
Bed
they
carry
to
their
Captain
.
When
his
Majesty
passes
the
Water
in
a
Ferry
or
Boat
,
no
other
Guards
but
those
of
the
Scotch
Company
,
are
admitted
into
the
Boat
with
him
.
The
Functions
and
Duties
of
the
other
Life-Guards
.
The
Life-Guard
men
are
always
to
keep
Guard
immediately
before
the
Kings
Anti-Chamber
.
There
is
always
a
Sentinel
upon
Duty
at
the
entring
into
the
Guard-Chamber
,
to
take
notice
of
those
that
go
in
.
This
Sentinel
stands
there
with
his
Carbine
,
and
sets
open
both
the
leaves
of
the
Door
when
the
King
,
Queen
,
any
Royal
Person
,
or
Ambassadours
on
Audience
Days
,
are
to
pass
in
or
out
:
Note
likewise
,
that
when
any
Great
Persons
,
as
those
of
the
Quality
above-named
,
or
the
Princes
of
the
Bloud
,
the
Captains
of
the
Life-Guards
,
or
any
other
Lords
of
high
quality
are
to
pass
in
or
out
,
the
Guards
that
are
in
the
Guard-Chamber
,
as
soon
as
the
Sentinel
has
given
them
notice
of
their
approach
by
stamping
with
his
Foot
on
the
Boards
,
betake
themselves
presently
to
their
Arms
,
and
make
a
Lane
towards
the
Entry
,
into
the
said
Guard
Chamber
,
to
do
honour
to
those
Great
Persons
as
they
pass
;
and
as
for
their
Captains
,
they
Conduct
them
also
all
along
the
Guard-Chamber
,
as
far
as
the
Door
of
the
Anti-Chamber
.
The
Sentinel
is
not
to
suffer
any
Souldier
of
the
Regiment
of
Foot-Guards
,
to
come
into
the
Guard
Chamber
with
his
Bandoleer
,
nor
any
of
the
Great
Provosts
Guards
,
with
their
Jackets
,
or
Hoquetons
,
nor
any
Lackeys
,
or
Livery-men
.
If
a
Guard
keep
a
Door
through
which
one
has
a
mind
to
pass
,
one
ought
not
to
open
it
ones
self
,
though
the
Guard
be
at
a
distance
from
it
,
but
to
call
civilly
to
the
Guard
to
open
it
.
The
Life-Guards
go
every
Morning
at
six
a
Clock
,
and
take
the
Keys
of
the
Gates
of
the
principal
Court
of
the
Royal
Palace
where
the
King
lies
,
which
they
keep
from
that
time
till
six
at
Night
,
when
the
Guards
of
the
Scotch
Company
take
it
of
them
,
as
we
have
already
shewed
.
At
six
a
Clock
at
Night
,
the
Exempt
leads
up
the
Company
to
the
Gate
,
that
is
,
to
keep
Guard
there
all
night
,
with
a
Tierce
of
the
Scotch
Company
;
and
then
all
the
other
Guards
retire
,
as
well
those
of
the
Gate
,
as
those
belonging
to
the
Provost
of
the
Houshold
.
They
lie
all
in
the
Court
of
Guard
,
and
from
six
a
Clock
at
Night
,
that
the
Guards
of
the
Gate
are
relieved
,
there
is
but
one
Scotch
Sentinel
at
the
Gate
,
till
the
King
be
in
Bed
,
after
which
,
the
Brigadeer
adds
another
Sentinel
out
of
a
French
Company
,
and
this
double
Sentinel
that
is
to
watch
all
Night
,
is
to
be
relieved
every
hour
by
the
Brigadeer
.
There
is
also
a
Sentinel
placed
every
night
at
the
Door
of
the
Guard-Chamber
,
which
should
be
relieved
every
hour
,
but
commonly
by
agreement
among
themselves
,
he
that
is
first
placed
there
,
having
watched
half
the
night
,
wakes
another
Guard
,
who
is
to
do
Duty
the
remaining
part
of
the
night
,
and
so
goes
to
Bed
.
Always
,
both
day
and
night
,
there
are
Sentinels
drawn
out
of
the
Foot-Guards
,
placed
without
the
outward
Gates
of
the
Kings
House
,
as
we
shall
show
in
due
place
.
If
in
the
night
time
when
all
the
Gates
and
Doors
are
shut
,
there
happens
to
come
a
Courier
,
or
any
other
person
charged
with
business
of
consequence
to
the
King
,
that
is
not
to
be
delayed
,
the
Guard
that
stands
Sentinel
,
is
to
tell
it
the
Exempt
,
who
is
to
go
and
tell
the
Captain
;
and
then
the
Brigadeer
,
with
a
Torch
in
his
hand
,
and
the
Exempt
and
the
Captain
with
two
other
Torches
carried
before
them
,
go
all
together
to
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
and
calling
upon
the
Chief
Gentleman
of
the
Bed
Chamber
,
desire
of
him
,
to
know
of
his
Majesty
,
whether
he
be
pleased
to
admit
the
said
Courier
,
or
other
Person
,
to
his
Speech
and
Presence
.
When
an
Exempt
goes
to
relieve
the
Watch
,
he
is
allowed
half
a
Pistol
a
day
for
his
Diet.
The
King
ordinarily
allows
the
Queen
twelve
of
his
French
Guards
,
with
an
Exempt
,
and
six
Suissers
.
There
are
several
Boys
and
Servants
belonging
to
the
Life-Guards
,
to
make
their
Beds
,
go
on
Errands
,
and
fetch
necessaries
,
&c.
After
having
spoken
of
the
Life-Guards
,
it
will
not
be
improper
to
insert
in
this
place
,
The
Order
observed
in
the
Kings
March
,
when
he
goes
abroad
,
either
a
Foot
,
in
a
Coach
,
or
on
Horseback
,
and
the
rank
and
place
then
observed
,
by
the
several
Officers
about
his
Majesty
.
When
the
King
goes
forth
of
his
Palace
in
a
Coach
with
two
Horses
,
and
Accompanied
with
his
Officers
,
this
is
the
Order
observed
by
them
,
1.
First
,
The
Guards
of
the
Gate
,
with
their
Officers
at
the
head
of
them
,
betake
themselves
to
their
Arms
,
and
draw
themselves
up
towards
the
Gate
within
the
nearest
Court
to
the
Palace
,
making
there
a
Lane
for
his
Majesty
to
pass
through
.
2.
Secondly
,
The
Souldiers
of
the
Foot
Companies
then
upon
Duty
,
both
of
the
French
and
Suisse-Guards
,
with
their
Officers

of
the

,
between
the

.
The

of
the
Coach
,
from
the
Horses
heads
to
the
forepart
of
each
Boot
or
Door
of
the
Coach
,
and
two
of
them
hold
up
only
the
two
Fore-Buttons
of
the
said
Boots
or
Doors
,
unless
it
be
when
the
Life-Guards
are
on
Horseback
,
and
then
four
of
them
hold
up
all
the
four
Buttons
:
And
when
the
Queen
is
in
the
Coach
with
the
King
,
the
Kings
Footmen
keep

it
up

Stable
,
ride
on
Horseback
before
the
Coach-Horses
,
with
each
of
them
a
Flambo
in
his
hand
;
because
the
King
commonly
marches
something
fast
,
he
is
pleased
to
permit
some
of
his

,
and
of
the
Queens
Footmen

sixteen
men
each
,
whereof
one
is

Corporal
of

two
of
these
Divisions
ordinarily
in
Waiting
at
a
time
,
that
is
to
say
,
one
by
day
,
and
the
other
by
night
,
which

every
Sunday
,
by

other
Divisions
,
so
that

Weeks
time

round
,
of

,
each
Couple
of
Divisions
are
a
Week
upon
Duty
,
and
rest
the
other
Fortnight
.
The
Division
that
does
duty
in
the
night
,
is
called
,
the
Division
of
the
Watch
,
whereof
twelve
are
called
the
Suissers
of
the
Straw-Bed
,
because
in
the
night
they
lie
on
the
Straw-Beds
,
in
the
Guard-Chamber
,
among

French
Life-Guard
Men.

Treachery
;
that
if
one
Nation
should
be
corrupted
,
the
other
might
discover
them
,
or
defeat
their
purpose
.
They
lie
but
twelve
of
them
at
a
time
in
the
French
Guard-Chamber
,

,
by
reason
of
their
number
,
there
is
hardly
convenience
for
more
;
the
others
have
a
Hall
apart
,

convenience
will
permit
,
from
the
French
Guard-Chamber
,

time
,

Mourning
,
and
their
number
is
augmented
to
twelve
.
These
places
are
commonly
purchased
of
the
Captain
,
by
six
of
the
Company
.
The
Dauphiness
is
likewise
allowed
six
Suissers
,
viz.
one
out
of
every
Division
,
drawn
out
for
that
purpose
every
Month
by
the

When
the
Court
removes
to
any
distance
,
leaving
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
or
other
of
the
Dauphins
Children
behind
,
the
Captain
of
this
Company
detaches
six
Suisser's
to
wait
on
each
of
them
.
One
Suisser
is
likewise
appointed
by
the
King
,
to
wait
on
the
Lord
High
Chancellour
,
who
upon
that
account
is
exempted
from
going
upon
the
Watch
,
and
other
Military
Functions
of
this
Company
.
The
Great
Master
of
the
Horse
also
,
who
is
the
sole
Orderer
of
all
the
Liveries
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
may
keep
a
Suisse
of
his
own
in
the
same
Livery
with
the
Kings
,
or
if
he
pleases
,
he
may
take
one
of
the
hundred
,
but
if
he
take
one
of
them
,
he
so
taken
by
him
,
must
either
in
Person
,
or
by
some
of
his
Companions
,
perform
his
Watch
,
and
other
duties
of
the
Company
,
when
it
comes
to
his
turn
.
When
the
Chancellour
dies
,
he
that
succeeds
him
is
not
obliged
to
make
use
of
the
same
Suisser
that
waited
on
his
Predecessour
,
but
may
,
if
he
please
,
ask
the
King
for
any
other
he
has
a
mind
to
.
The
Captain
of
this
Company
has
always
one
of
the
said
Company
too
,
to
wait
on
him
.
There

that
are
paid
by
the
King
,
to
pay
the
hundred
Suissers
every
Month
,
their
Months

beforehand
,
so
that
on
the
first
,
second

or
at
furthest
,
on
the
third
day
of
every
Month
,
the
hundred

They
,
with
their

,
march
before
the
King
when
he
is
walking
on
Foot
,
or
passing
leisurely
along
,
either
in
his
own
House
,
or
in
the
Town
,
where
he
for
the
time
being
resides
.
Every
day
when
the
King
goes
to
Mass
,
the
Suissers
of
this
Company
,
place
themselves
in
two
ranks
,
making
a

from
the

when
his
Majesty
comes
from
Mass
,
or
when
he
goes
to
,
or
comes
from

.
Note
,
That

,
or

.
When

to
his
Audience
,
the
hundred
Suissers
,
upon
notice
given
them
by

,
place
themselves

two
Ranks
,
on
each
side
the
French
Guard-Chamber
Door
outwards
,
and
all
along
the
Stairs
going
up
,
and
when
the
Ambassadour
is
coming
,
the
Drummer
gives
two
or
three
little
strokes
upon
his
Drum
,
to
give
them
notice
to
betake
themselves
to
their
Arms.
Upon
Days
of
great
Solemnity
,
such
as

,
&c.
they
display
their
Colours
.
Every
time
the
King
goes
out
in
a
Coach
,
or
on
Horseback
,
or
when
he
comes
back
into
the
Court
of
his
Palace
where
he
there
Lodges
,
these
Suissers
with
an
Officer
at
the
head
of
them
,
place
themselves
in
ranks
about
his
Majesties
Coach
or
Horse
,
and
keep
off
the
people
,
if
need
be
.
When
a
Te
Deum
is
order'd
to
be
sung
at
Nostre
Dame
Church
at
Paris
,
though
the
King
goes
not
thither
,
yet
he
customarily
directs
a
private
Letter
to
the
Captain
,
or
Chief
Officer
,
to
send
thither
so
many
of
this
Company
,
as
are
necessary
for
that
occasion
,
as
he
does
likewise
on
the
same
occasions
,
to
the
Captain
of
the
French
Life-Guards
.
At
the
Feasts
the
King
makes
at
the
Creation
of
the
Knights
of
his
Orders
,
upon
the
second
day
of
that
Solemnity
,
the
hundred
Suissers
serve
up
the
Meat
to
the
Table
,
and
have
what
comes
off
again
for
their
pains
.
Those
of
them
that
are
upon
the
Watch
,
have
their
Watch-Bread
,
and
Watch-Wine
every
Morning
and
Evening
,
Candle
,
Wax
,
and
a
Watch-Torch
every
day

and
extraordinary

Candlemas
Day
,
some
Linnen-Cloth
on
Maundy-Thursday
,
Prayer-Books
in
the
Holy
Week
,
and
Torches
with
the
Kings
Arms
on
them
,
on
Corpus
Christi
Day
.
This
Company
of
the
hundred
Suissers
is
one
of
the
most
ancient
Companies
of
the
ordinary
Guards
of
the
Kings
Body
,
and
first
Company
composed
of
them
since
their
alliance
with
his
Majesty
;
they
having
been
established
in
France
,
ever
since
the
year
1481.
when
Lewis
XI
.
Entertain'd
them
into
his
Service
;
being
very
useful
,
both
for
their
known
Fidelity
to
their
Trust
,
and
the
Manly
properness
of
their
persons
,
both
for
the
security
of
a
King
,
and
for
the
setting
forth
his
Grandeur
.
This
Company
being
a
Corporation
apart
of
it self
,
has
its
peculiar
Court
of
Justice
within
it self
,
kept
by
their
own
Officers
,
from
whom
their
last
Appeal
is
to
the
Colonels
and
Captains
of
the
Regiments
of
Guards
of
their
own
Nation
.
They
enjoy
the
same
Priviledges
as
do
the
French
the
Kings
born
Subjects
:
they
may
purchase
,
inherit
,
and
dispose
of
their
Goods
or
Estates
,
by
Sale
,
Deeds
or
Gifts
while
living
,
or
Wills
at
their
Deaths
,
and
their
Wives
,
Children
,
or
next
Kindred
,
may
Inherit
what
they
leave
:
Both
themselves
,
and
their
Widows
and
Children
,
are
free
from
all
Taxes
,
Subsidies
,
and
Impositions
,
laid
or
to
be
laid
on
the
subject
,
under
what
name
soever
,
and
under
what
pretence
soever
,
though
the
King
himself
should
have
expresly
order'd
them
himself
,
his
Majesty
being
unwilling
to
make
use
of
his
Power
and
Prerogative
against
them
,
because
of
their
great
Services
,
and
singular
Fidelity
:
They
are
also
free
from
Watching
and
Warding
,
and
keeping
of
Gates
,
as
the
Kings
of
France
have
always
been
pleased
to
let
them
be
ever
since
their
first
Alliance
with
them
,
which
have
still
been
confirmed
by
all
succeeding
Treaties
.
When
any
of
the
Officers
of
this
Company
dies
,
he
is
buried
with
the
Ceremonies
and
Solemnities
used
to
Military
Persons
;
his
Sword
and
Commanders
Staff
are
placed
something
Cross-wise
,
on
the
top
of
the
Biere
,
which
is
carried
in
the
midst
of
the
Company
,
who
all
Accompany
the
Body
,
the
Drums
and
Flute
making
a
mournful
sound
,
as
is
usual
at
Funerals
;
when
any
of
the
common
Souldiers
of
them
die
,
they
are
buried
much
after
the
same
manner
,
only
with
proportionably
less
Ceremonies
,
according
to
their
Quality
:
The
Swords
of
the
deceased
belong
to
the
Harbinger
then
in
Waiting
.
Besides
the
above-mentioned
Priviledges
enjoyed
by
this
Company
,
there
are
two
other
very
particular
and
remarkable
ones
;
the
first
is
the
right
of
being
lodged
gratis
all
the
year
at
Paris
,
and
the
second
,
the
priviledge
of
selling
Wine
.
That
Part
or
Quarter
of
Paris
,
that
comprehends
the
Streets
of
Montorgueil
,
of
Montmarire
,
and
other
Neighbouring
Streets
,
is
allotted
for
Lodging
this
Company
,
though
the
King
be
not
at
Paris
:
And
the
Owner
,
or
chief
Tenants
of
the
Houses
in
those
Streets
,
if
their
Houses
be
small
,
are
bound
to
find
a
Chamber
ready
furnished
,
at
most
but
two
stories
high
,
for
a
common
Suisse
,
and
to
furnish
all
necessary
Utensils
,
and
those
who
have
bigger
Houses
,
are
to
find
an
Officer
two
Chambers
ready
furnished
,
with
a
Stable
and
Coach-House
,
if
need
be
,
and
with
all
necessary
Utensils
,
as
Linnen
,
Dishes
,
Pots
and
Pans
,
&c.
But
generally
the
King
having
not
for
a
long
time
resided
at
Paris
,
not
being
like
to
do
,
the
Owners
,
or
chief
Tenants
of
the
said
Houses
,
agree
with
the
said
Suissers
and
Officers
,
for
a
certain
yearly
payment
in
Money
,
in
consideration
of
which
,
their
Houses
are
free
from
this
subjection
,
and
the
Suissers
,
upon
occasion
,
like
Lodgings
where
else
they
please
.
The
Kings
of
France
have
granted
to
this
Company
thirteen
Priviledges
,
or
an
Exemption
to
be
enjoyed
by
thirteen
Persons
of
their
Body
,
from
the
Duties
usually
paid
by
Vintners
and
Wine-Merchants
.
These
thirteen
Priviledges
are
enjoyed
by
twelve
Suissers
,
among
whom
,
are
some
Officers
,
and
the
Clerk
of
the
Watch
:
They
are
by
vertue
of
the
same
,
exempt
from
paying
the
Duty
called
the
Eighth
,
and
generally
from
all
other
duties
upon
Wine
,
except
the
duty
of
the
Entry
or
Importation
of
those
Wines
they
sell
by
retail
.
The
Jurours
of
the
Wine-Sellers
,
pretend
,
that
the
number
of
Buts
,
or
Pieces
of
Wine
,
which
these
Priviledged
Suissers
are
to
sell
,
is
limited
to
150
,
and
they
on
the
other
side
say
,
they
are
not
limited
to
any
definite
number
,
which
is
a
Controversy
as
yet
undecided
;
the
King
abates
1400
l.
a
year
to
the
Farmers
of
the
Aids
,
for
every
one
of
these
thirteen
Priviledges
,
and
yet
they
let
them
out
but
for
1000
l.
or
thereabout
,
to
those
that
hire
them
of
them
.
Formerly
those
of
this
Company
that
sold
Wine
,
paid
no
more
for
selling
Wine
with
Napkins
and
Plates
,
that
is
,
for
selling
Wine
and
Victuals
too
,
than
for
selling
of
it
only
by
the
Pot
,
so
that
they
paid
27
d.
on
every
Piece
of
Wine
less
than
the
Vintners
;
but
in
the
year
1658.
the
Company
sold
this
Priviledge
,
which
was
called
the
little
Priviledge
,
to
the
Farmers
of
the
Aids
,
for
a
certain
Annuity
to
be
paid
to
their
Captain
,
which
is
distributed
among
them
at
the
rate
of
4
d.
a
day
each
Man
,
so
that
ever
since
that
time
,
the
hundred
Suissers
,
that
before
had
but
14
d.
a
day
,
have
now
18
d.
a
day
.
Of
the
Guards
of
the
Gate
.
Of
these
Guards
,
there
is
a
Captain
,
who
has
a
Salary
of
3000
l.
paid
by
the
Treasurers
of
the
Houshold
,
and
4000
l.
Board-Wages
,
at
the
Chamber
of
Deniers
.
He
is
sworn
by
the
King
himself
,
and
receives
from
him
the
Staff
of
Command
.
Under
him
are
Four
Lieutenants
quarterly
Waiters
,
who
enjoy
their
Places
by
Patent
from
the
King
,
but
are
sworn
by
the
Great
Master
of
the
Houshold
,
and
have
each
of
them
500
l.
Salary
,
and
50
l.
Gratuity
,
and
during
the
time
of
their
Waiting
,
eat
at
the
Masters
of
the
Housholds
Table
.
Fifty
Guards
of
the
Gate
,
that
serve
by
Quarters
,
viz.
Thirteen
of
them
each
of
the
two
first
Quarters
,
and
but
twelve
of
each
of
the
two
last
Quarters
of
the
year
.
They
enjoy
their
Places
too
by
Patent
,
and
are
sworn
by
their
Captain
.
They
are
reckoned
among
the
first
and
most
ancient
Guards
of
the
Houshold
,
which
is
the
reason
that
this
Company
is
yet
to
this
day
entred
upon
the
Book
of
the
General
Establishment
of
the
Houshold
,
and
accordingly
receive
their
pay
from
the
Treasurers
of
the
Houshold
,
and
not
from
peculiar
Treasurers
of
their
own
,
as
do
the
other
Companies
of
Guards
.
Every
day
,
at
six
in
the
Morning
,
the
Guards
of
the
Gate
,
receive
from
the
hands
of
the
Life-Guard
Men
,
the
Keys
of
the
Gates
of
that
Court
where
the
Kings
Lodgings
or
Apartments
are
,
within
which
,
they
place
Sentinels
,
and
at
six
at
Night
they
return
the
said
Keys
again
to
the
Life-Guards
;
By
the
Court
where
the
Kings
Lodgings
are
,
I
mean
the
principal
Court
of
the
Palace
where
he
is
,
as
the
Oval
Court
at

The

The
great
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
the
Chancellour
,
the
Keeper
of
the
Seals
,
the
Marshals
of
France
,
and
the
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
:
Where
Note
,
That
the
Wives
of
these
great
Officers
have
the
priviledge
to
go
into
the
Louvre
in
their
Coaches
or
Sedans
,
but
are
not
allowed
the
Honour
of
the
Tabouret
before
the
Queen
,
though
in
the
Queens
Tiring-room
,
the
Chancellours
Lady
indeed
is
allowed
a
Tabouret
,
and
the
other
great
Officers
Ladies
only
Cushions
to
sit
on
before
her
Majesty
.
The
chief
Officers
likewise
of
both
Sexes
,
have
also
the
priviledge
of
going
into
the
Palace
,
even
in
their
own
Coaches
,
as
her
Lady
of
Honour
,
her
Tiring-Lady
,
her
Gentleman-Usher
,
or
Knight
of
Honour
,
and
the
Persons
who
have
the
grant
of
the
Reversions
of
the
said
Offices
;
as
likewise
the
chief
Officers
of
both
Sexes
,
of
the
Children
of
France
,
and
even
after
any
Queens
Decease
,
or
after
the
Decease
of
any
of
the
Children
of
France
,
the
King
being
pleased
to
continue
,
to
their
said
chief
Officers
,
their
former
Salaries
,
is
pleased
likewise
to
continue
to
them
withal
,
the
priviledge
of
going
into
his
Palace
in
their
Coaches
or
Sedans
.
Besides
these
,
there
are
some
,
to
whom
by
particular
favour
,
the
King
permits
the
same
Honour
.
When
any
of
the
abovesaid
persons
have
a
mind
to
go
into
the
Palace
in
a
Chair
,
or
Sedan
,
they
may
go
in
when
they
please
,
though
it
be
before
Day
,
or
though
the
King
or
Queen
be
sick
or
asleep
;
because
Chairs
make
no
noise
as
Coaches
do
.
And
since
the
coming
up
of
the
Sedans
or
Chairs
called
Royal
Chairs
,
almost
any
private
person
is
suffered
to
go
in
in
those
kind
of
Chairs
,
as
far
as
the
bottom
of
the
Kings
Stairs
.
When
there
is
a
Queen
,
her
Maids
of
Honour
go
into
the
Palace
in
her
Majesties
Coach
,
as
do
now
those
belonging
to
the
Dauphiness
,
in
hers
.
And
the
Kings
or
Queens
Confessours
,
being
in
their
Majesties
Coaches
,
enter
likewise
.
Note
,
That
any
of
the
forementioned
persons
,
that
have
the
priviledge
to
go
into
the
Kings
Palace
in
their
own
Coaches
,
may
likewise
go
in
any
other
Coach
as
well
as
their
own
;
and
if
their
own
Coach
comes
afterward
to
the
Gate
,
the
Guards
let
it
pass
in
with
all
those
that
are
in
it
,
but
then
as
soon
as
that
is
come
in
,
the
borrowed
Coach
,
unless
it
be
one
belonging
to
a
person
of
equal
Quality
,
is
immediately
to
retire
.
All
the
Coaches
that
enter
into
the
Kings
Palace
,
place
themselves
within
the
Court
of
the
Palace
,
nearer
or
further
off
the
Stairs
Foot
of
the
Kings
Apartment
,
according
to
the
Rank
of
Precedence
the
Masters
or
Ladies
to
whom
they
belong
,
enjoy
in
France
.
So
that
if
there
chance
to
come
a
Prince
,
a
Dukes
and
Peers
Coach
must
put
back
to
give
him
place
.
They
are
sometimes
placed
in
several
Ranks
according
to
their
different
Qualities
,
but
that
is
not
very
exactly
observed
:
the
same
Order
and
Ceremony
observed
in
entring
into
the
Kings
Palace
,
is
in
most
particulars
observed
in
going
into
any
of
the
Palaces
belonging
to
the
Children
of
France
,
or
any
other
Royal
Persons
;
But
at
the
Palaces
of
the
other
Princes
,
these
Punctilio's
are
not
so
much
insisted
on
.
Next
the
Guards
of
the
Gate
are
The
Guards
of
the
Great
Provost
of
the
Houshold
.
We
have
already
spoken
of
the
Gown-Men
,
and
other
Officers
under
the
Great
Provost
,
as
Judge
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
we
must
now
treat
of
his
Military
Officers
and
those
under
them
.
The
Great
Provost
is
Captain
of
a
Company
of
a
hundred
Men
,
who
are
called
the
Guards
of
the
Provost
of
the
Houshold
;
these
,
are
either
Exempts
,
who
are
twelve
in
number
,
one
whereof
is
called
the
Exempt
in
Ordinary
,
and
88
common
Guards
,
who
have
all
of
them
Salaries
of
272
l.
10
d.
apiece
.
The
Exempts
serve
quarterly
,
three
every
quarter
,
whereof
four
who
are
the
four
first
,
or
Foremen
of
every
quarter
,
are
called
ancient
Exempts
,
and
have
besides
their
standing
Wages
,
a
gratuity
of
fifty
Crowns
,
at
the
Treasure-Royal
;
the
four
second
,
and
next
to
them
in
every
quarter
,
are
likewise
allowed
a
gratuity
of
fifty
Crowns
out
of
the
profits
of
the
Provostship
of
the
Houshold
,
but
the
four
last
have
onely
their
bare
Wages
,
viz.
272
l.
10
d.
The
other
Guards
serve
quarterly
too
,
22.
every
quarter
,
and
are
allowed
60
l.
each
,
Extraordinary
,
when
the
King
goes
any
Journey
,
and
every
one
a
certain
gratuity
when
the
King
touches
for
the
Evil.
When
the
King
goes
forth
of
his
Lodging
,
either
on
Foot
,
in
a
Chair
,
or
in
a
Coach
with
two
Horses
,
the
Great
Provosts
Guards
march
with
their
Officers
at
the
head
of
them
,
on
Foot
before
his
Majesty
,
immediately
before
the
hundred
Suiffers
,
who
march
before
the
Coach-Horses
,
and
when
the
Life-Guards
mount
on
Horseback
,
the
Provosts
Guards
mount
on
Horseback
too
.
When
the
King
goes
out
in
a
Coach
with
six
Horses
,
these
Guards
Accompany
him
not
,
but
only
place
themselves
in
Ranks
with
their
Officers
at
the
head
of
them
,
just
by
the
Gate
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
without
,
and
make
a
Lane
for
his
Majesty
to
pass
through
;
Sometimes
on
those
occasions
the
Great
Provost
himself
is
there
,
with
his
Commanders
Staff
in
his
hand
:
At
St.
Germains
en
Laye
,
and
at
Fountain-bleau
,
there
is
a
little
Plot
of
ground
,
about
the
breadth
of
the
Ditch
,
before
the
Principal
Gate
of
the
chief
Court
of
the
Palace
,
where
these
Guards
,
with
their
Officers
,
place
themselves
in
Order
,
and
make
a
Lane
for
his
Majesty
to
pass
through
when
the
King
goes
out
in
a
Coach
with
six
Horses
:
But
when
the
King
is
at
any
Palace
,
or
other
place
,
where
no
such
conveniency
of
ground
is
to
be
found
,
then
the
Officers
and
Guards
of
the
Provostship
,
mark
out
for
themselves
,
as
much
ground
next
without
the
Gate
,
as
extends
to
the
length
of
a
Pike
,
which
the
Regiments
of
French
and
Suisse-Guards
,
or
other
Guards
,
are
obliged
to
leave
them
,
where
they
Post
themselves
in
the

Note
,
That
the
French
Regiment
of
Guards
takes
always
the
right
hand
of
the
Regiment
of
the
Suisse
Guards
,
and
when
two
Sentinels
are
placed
,
one
French
,
and
the
other
Suisser
,
the
French-man
stands
on
the
right
hand
side
,
which
is
to
be
reckoned
with
relation
to
the
Kings
right
hand
,
which
changes
,
as
he
may
be
going
or
coming
;
and
on
all
ocsions
,
when
his
Majesty
,
or
other
great
Persons
,
to
whom
they
owe
honours
,
pass
by
,
the
French
make
a
Rank
on
the
right
hand
,
and
the
Suissers
on
the
left
hand
of
them
:
It
is
likewise
remarkable
,
that
the
Officers
of
the
French
Regiment
wear
gilt
Corslets
,
and
the
Suissers
their
only
washt
over
with
Silver
.
This
Regiment
is
quarter'd
in
the
several
Suburbs
,
and
Neighbouring
Villages
about
Paris
.
Of
the
Suisse-Regiment
.
The
Regiment
of
Suisse-Guards
is
composed
of
Suissers
and
Grisons
,
consisting
in
all
of
ten
Companies
,
to
which
is
lately
added
a
new
Company
,
though
they
have
not
yet
been
on
duty
near
his
Majesties
Person
.
For
the
Conduct
and
Government
of
these
,
There
are
Officers
general
,
and
Officers
particular
.
The
Officers
general
have
Command
,
not
only
over
this
Regiment
,
but
over
all
those
of
this
Nation
in
the
service
of
France
.
The
Officers
General
,
are
a
Colonel-General
of
the
Suissers
and
Grisons
,
who
is
at
present
the
Duke
de
Maine
,
the
Kings
Natural
Legitimated
Son
by
the
Dutchess
of
Montespan
,
who
has

himself
,
and
twelve
Halbardeers

that
always
attend
on
his

,
there
is
a

,
a

a

,

,
a

Major
,

The
General
Company

likewise
a
Court
of
Justice
apart
from
the
Regiment
,
which
is
the
supreme
one
the
Suissers
have
in
France
,
and
to
which
lies
their
last
appeal
from
other
particular
ones
,
as
we
have
elsewhere
noted
,
to
which
belong
a
Great

a
Lieutenant-Captain
,

another

besides
which
,
because
in
honour
of
the
several
Cantons
and
places
whence
they
come
,
the
King
is
pleased
to
join
several
Captains
and
other
Officers
of
the
same
denomination
with
equal
Commissions
in
one
Company
,
because
the
number
of
men
many
times
brought
by
each
singly
,
is
not
sufficient
to
make
a
compleat
Company
alone
,
there
are
eleven
Captains
,
nine
Lieutenants
,
nine
Deputy
Lieutenants
,
and
as
many
Ensigns
,
two

,
one
Muster-Master
,
with

The

,
and
a

Company
formerly
belonging

Of
the
first
Company
of

three
Treasurers
that

to
both
the
Companies
,
and
under

,
one
Pay-Master
peculiar
to
this
Company
.
The

of
the
first
Company
have
their
Hats

THE
Present
State
OF
FRANCE
.
PART
II.
Of
the
Nobility
of
France
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
the
Nobility
in
General
.
IN
France
,
as
in
most
other
Countries
,
not
only
those
which
are
Princes
,
Peers
,
and
Great
Lords
,
but
all
Gentlemen
of
ancient
Descent
,
and
that
are
enobled
by
the
King
,
are
reckoned
into
the
Body
of
the
Nobility
;
and
there
the
King
often
gives
Letters
of
Nobility
,
as
they
are
called
,
whereby
he
constitutes
the
person
receiving
them
Noble
,
or
makes
him
a
Gentleman
,
without
Conferring
upon
him
any
particular
Title
of
Honour
,
The
Chief
Priviledges
of
Nobles
,
or
Gentlemen
,
are
to
be
Exempt
from
Taxes
,
and
to
enjoy
some
other
immunities
,
and
be
capable
of
enjoying
Dignities
,
and
rising
to
Honour
.
If
they
take
Church
Dignities
,
or
addict
themselves
to
the
Law
,
they
derogate
not
from
their
Nobility
,
though
they
increase
it
not
,
but
if
they
follow
any
Trade
or
Commerce
,
or
marry
with
any
Family
,
not
Noble
,
they
derogate
and
lose
their
quality
;
and
till
of
late
,
those
that
medled
with
Sea-Affairs
,
were
reckoned
to
derogate
likewise
,
but
that
being
found
prejudicial
to
the
Improvement
of
the
Power
of
France
by
Sea
,
It
was
Order'd
by
the
present
King
,
having
concerns
in
publick
Companies
,
such
as
the
East-India
Company
,
that
studying
or
practising
Sea-Experience
,
should
not
only
not
derogate
,
but
be
encouraged
with
Priviledges
;
and
accordingly
appointed
publick
Schools
and
Nurseries
in
several
Marine
Places
,
with
good
Endowments
,
wherein
a
considerable
number
of
the
younger
Sons
of
the
meaner
Nobility
,
might
be
instructed
in
Navigation
and
Maritime
Affairs
,
and
trained
up
to
make
useful
Sea-Officers
:
So
that
now
the
younger
Sons
,
or
Cadets
of
the
Gentry
,
are
either
provided
for
in
the
Church
,
with
Ecclesiastical
Dignities
,
or
raise
themselves
by
Military
employs
,
by
Sea
or
Land
,
not
so
many
as
formerly
affecting
the
civil
ones
,
because
they
are
such
as
are
often
enjoyed
by
the
Sons
of
rich
Citizens
,
or
Farmers
of
Taxes
,
whom
they
a
little
disdain
for
Companions
.
The
Nobility
or
Gentry
in
France
is
the
most
numerous
of
any
Kingdom
of
the
World
,
they
being
reckoned
above
ten
thousand
able
Bodies
,
and
generally
well
educated
in
all
accomplishments
that
may
make
them
serviceable
to
their
Country
,
and
in
them
consists
the
Kings
chief
Force
;
and
he
is
,
in
some
respects
,
as
absolute
over
them
,
as
over
the
Peasants
:
for
though
they
pay
no
Taxes
,
and
cannot
be
legally
compelled
to
take
Arms
,
unless
upon
an
Invasion
,
or
imminent
danger
;
yet
it
is
by
Custom
,
thought
so
disgraceful
for
any
Principals
or
Heads
of
greater
Families
,
not
to
attend
the
King
,
and
spend
what
they
have
in
his
Court
,
or
Service
;
or
for
Cadets
,
or
younger
Brothers
,
not
provided
for
in
the
Church
,
to
follow
any
thing
but
the
Wars
,
by
which
only
in
a
manner
all
Nobility
was
ever
acquired
there
,
that
the
King
can
never
want
Souldiers
among
them
:
It
being
almost
impracticable
for
a
Gentleman
,
any
thing
considerable
,
to
live
privately
,
or
retired
there
,
unless
he
thrust
himself
into
a
Convent
.
CHAP.

Of
Dukes
and
Peers
.
OF
Dukes
and
of

or

2.

Dukes
and

,

.
4.
The
Dukes
,
or
the
Dukes
and
Peers
that
are
verified
as
such
in
other

than

which
is

only
true

Peers
.
5.
Those
who
are

not

.
6.
The

and

,
as

House

Besides
which
,

of
Foreign
Creations
,
as
in
the
County
of
Avignon
,
under
the
Pope
;
and
several
other
Persons
,
who
though
they
be
no
Princes
nor
Princesses
,
yet
are
suffred
by
his
Majesty
,
to
enjoy
the
Honours
of
the
Louvre
,
as
to
enter
into
the
Louvre

their
Coaches
,
and

Ladies

the
priviledge
of
the
Low-stool
,
or

before

Queen
,
without
having
any
Dutchy
,
or
Patent
for
any
.
CHAP.
III.
Of
the
antient
Peers
of
France
.
THE
Antient
Peers
were
formerly
twelve
,
viz.
Six
Ecclesiastical
Peers
,
and
six
Secular
ones
:
The
six
Ecclesiastical
ones
are
still
in
being
,
and
are
these
;
viz.
1.
The
Archbishop
and
Duke
of
Reims
,
and
first
Peer
of
France
,
who
is
at
present
Charles-Maurice
le
Teliier
,
Brother
to
the
Marquess
of
Louvois
,
first
Minister
of
State
:
2.
The
Bishop
and
Duke
of
Langres
,
who
is
Louis-Marie-Armand
de
Simianes
de
Gordes
.
4.
The
Bishop
and
Count
of
Beauvais
,
who
is
named
Toussaint
de
Fourbin
de
Janson
.
5.
The
Bishop
and
Count
of
Chaalons
in
Champain
,
Lewis
Antony
of
Noailles
,
of
the
Family
of
the
Duke
of
that
Name
:
6.
The
Bishop
and
Count
of
Noyon
,
named
Francis
of
Clermont-Tonnerre
.
The
six
secular
ones
that
are
now
only
represented
,
were
-
The
Dukes
of
-
Burgundy
,
-
Normandy
,
-
Guyenne
.
-
And
Counts
of
-
Toulouze
,
-
Flanders
,
and
-
Champain
.
The
Quality
of
the
twelve
antient
Peers
of
France
,
is
at
present
but
a
kind
of
Ceremonial
Dignity
,
by
vertue
of
which
,
those
that
possess
it
,
have
a
certain
Rank
or
Precedence
in
France
,
at
the
Consecration
and
Coronation
of
Kings
,
have
Place
in
Parliament
,
and
in
the
general
Assembly
of
Estates
,
and
enjoy
the
Honours
of
the
Louvre
:
Their
first
Institution
is
so
uncertain
,
that
it
is
impossible
to
gather
out
of
History
their
true
Original
,
some
attributing
it
to
Hugh
Capet
,
and
some
to
Charlemaine
,
or
Charles
the
Great
:
But
the
Original
of
the
Name
and
Functions
of
the
Peers
of
France
can
properly
be
derived
from
nothing
else
,
then
from
the
common
use
and
custom
of
Fiess
and
Tenures
,
which
is
,
that
the
Vassals
holding
moveable
Fiefs
fully
and
directly
of
the
same
Lord
,
are
called
Pares
Curiae
aut
Domus
,
which
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
Peers
of
the
Fiefs
,
or
of
the
Court
,
that
are
to
assist
when
the
Lord
takes
possession
of
his
Land
;
to
be
present
at
those
days
,
when
causes
relating
to
the
Fiefs
,
are
pleaded
and
judged
,
and
have
several
other
rights
which
are
analogically
common
to
them
with
our
Peers
of
France
,
who
in
like
manner
assist
at
the
Consecration
and
Coronation
of
the
King
,
who
is
the
supream
Lord
,
are
Counsellers
in
his
Court
of
Parliament
,
which
for
this
reason
is
called
the
Court
of
Peers
;
so
that
in
a
word
,
the
Peers
of
France
are
but
as
Tenants
that
hold
of
the
Monarchy
,
and
depend
immediately
on
the
Crown
;
such
as
were
the
seven
Peers
in
the
time
of
Lewis
the
Young
,
in
the
year
1179
,
or
in
the
time
of
Hugh
Capet
,
who
reunited
to
the
Crown
,
the
Dutchy
and
Peerage
of
France
,
or
of
Paris
,
which
he
possessed
before
he
was
King
:
So
that
there
remained
after
that
,
but
six
ancient
Peers
,
that
were
Seculars
,
to
which
at
several
times
,
by
degrees
,
were
afterwards
added
six
other
Ecclesiastical
Peers
,
over
whom
,
Lewis
the
Young
,
gave
the
Primacy
to
the
Archbishop
of
Reims
,
with
the
Prerogative
of
Consecrating
and
Crowning
the
Kings
:
Since
the
time
of
the
said
Lewis
the
Young
,
the
number
of
twelve
Peers
,
at
those
great
Ceremonies
,
has
been
always
continued
till
the
present
;
But
the
Secular
Peers
are
as
we
have
said
,
only
represented
on
that
occasion
,
there
being
none
now
that
bear
any
of
those
Titles
,
but
only
now
lately
the
Duke
of
Burgundy
,
Eldest
Son
to
the
Dauphin
,
and
the
Count
of
Toulouze
,
one
of
the
Kings
Natural
Legitimated
Sons
.
Their
several
Functions
at
the
Kings
Consecration
,
and
Coronation
,
are
these
:
The
Archbishop
of
Reims
Consecrates
,
or
anoints
the
King
with
the
Oil
of
the
Holy
Ampull
,
or
Viol
,
kept
in
the
Cathedral
of
that
Name
,
from
Age
to
Age
,
only
for
that
purpose
:
The
Bishop
of
Laon
carries
the
said
Viol
;
the
Bishop
of
Langres
carries
the
Scepter
;
the
Bishop
of
Beauvais
,
the
Mantle
Royal
,
the
Bishop
of
Chaalons
,
the
Ring
;
the
Bishop
of
Noyons
,
the
Belt
:
The
Duke
of
Burgundy
carries
the
Crown
Royal
,
and
girds
on
the
Kings
Sword
;
the
Duke
of
Guyenne
carries
the
first
square
Banner
,
the
Duke
of
Normandy
the
Second
;
the
Count
of
Toulouze
,
the
Spurs
;
the
Count
of
Champain
,
the
Banner
Royal
,
or
Standard
of
War
;
the
Count
of
Flanders
,
the
Kings
Sword
.
On
the
day
of
the
Consecration
and
Coronation
,
and
during
the
Ceremony
,
these
Peers
wear
a
Circle
of
gold
in
form
of
a
Crown
:
Now
because
of
the
six
Secular
Peerages
,
there
are
now
five
reunited
to
the
Crown
,
and
that
of
Flanders
is
likewise
in
part
reunited
,
and
in
part
remains
still
in
foreign
hands
,
therefore
there
are
on
such
occasions
six
Princes
,
or
great
Lords
chosen
to
represent
them
,
and
to
perform
their
Functions
.

Of

more
exactly

extinct
as
not

WE
have
named
all

Dukes

we

all

the

so
Erected

fall
to
Female
Heirs
,
they
return
to
the
quality
they
had
before
so
Erected
,

the
Honour
reverts
to
the
King
,
and
to
revive
it
,
new
Patents
must
be
obtained
from
the
King
;
yet
there
are
some
Dutchies
,
that
by
special
Favour
of
the
King
,
expressed
in
the
Patents
of
their
Erection
,
that
descend
likewise

Females

CHAP.
IX
.
Of
the
Orders
of
Knighthood
in
France
.
THE
Orders
of
Knighthood
were
always
used
as
honourable
recompenses
,
and
marks
of
the
Kings
favour
to
such
as
had
signalized
their
service
to
their
Prince
and
the
State
:
Kings
likewise
have
been
used
to
confer
them
on
such
as
have
the
honour
to
be
of
Kin
,
or
allied
to
them
,
or
considerable
persons
in
the
State
.
It
being
needless
to
speak
here
of
all
the
Orders
of
Knighthood
that
have
been
instituted
in
France
,
it
will
be
sufficient
to
tell
you
,
that
there
was
formerly
the
Order
of
the
Star
Instituted
,
[
in
memory
of
the
Star
that
Conducted
the
three
Kings
,
or
wise
Men
of
the
East
to
Bethlehem
]
by
Robert
the
Devout
,
King
of
France
,
in
the
year
1022.
which
is
attributed
to
by
some
,
to
Hugh
Capet
,
but
more
commonly
to
King
John
,
because
after
a
long
disuse
,
he
reestablished
it
in
the
year
1351.
The
Knights
of
this
Order
were
the
Figure
of
a
Star
wrought
in
gold
,
with
five
rays
upon
their
left
Breasts
:
The
Great
Collar
of
the
Order
was
made
like
a
Chain
of
gold
wreathed
with
three
Links
,
fastned
or
knotted
together
with
Roses
of
the
same
,
Enamel'd
with
white
and
red
;
and
in
the
time
of
King
John
,
the
Knights
wore
at
the
end
of
the
said
Collar
,
or
upon
their
Cloaks
,
a
golden
Star
with
this
Inscription
or
Motto
,
Monstrant
Regibus
:
stra
viam
.
This
Order
growing
common
,
as
some
say
,
even
in
the
time
of
King

Of
the
Orders
of
Knighthood
,
at
present
subsisting
,
called
,
the
Kings
Orders
.
AT
present
there
are
only
two
Orders
of
Knighthood
subsisting
,
viz.
of
St.
Michael
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
which
are
usually
called
,
the
Kings
Orders
.
The
Order
of
St.
Michael
was
Instituted
the
first
day
of
August
,
in
the
year
1469.
by
King
Lewis
the
XI
.
in
honour
of
St.
Michael
the
Archangel
.
He
Ordained
,
that
this
Order
should
consist
of
thirty
six
Knights
,
which
should
be
obliged
in
accepting
it
,
to
quit
all
other
Orders
they
might
have
received
from
Foreign
Princes
,
unless
they
were
Emperours
,
Kings
,
or
other
Sovereign
Princes
,
who
only
were
priviledged
to
wear
it
together
with
the
other
Orders
,
of
which
themselves
were
Chiefs
or
Soveraigns
;
with
a
Proviso
nevertheless
,
that
the
Brotherhood
,
by
common
consent
,
might
modifie
this
regulation
,
according
to
their
pleasure
:
And
in
like
manner
,
he
provided
,
that
the
Kings
of
France
should
be
.
free
to
wear
the
Orders
of
other
Princes
with
this
Order
.
The
Knights
of
this
Order
wear
a
golden
Collar
,
wrought
all
in
the
form
of
double
Sea-Shells
,
interlaced
one
with
another
,
in
true
Lovers
Knots
,
composed
of
double
points
of
silk
tag'd
with
gold
,
at
the
end
of
which
,
hangs
a
Medal
,
on
which
,
is
Engraven
a
Rock
,
upon
which
is
figured
St.
Michael
Fighting
with
the
Dragon
:
But
Francis
the
First
changed
these
Laces
,
called
true
Lovers
Knots
,
into
Cords
of
gold
of
the
fashion
of
those
worn
by
the
Cordelier
Fryers
,
because
he
bore
the
name
of
the
Founder
of
that
Order
.
All
the
Knights
of
the
Holy
Ghost
are
obliged
by
way
of
preparation
,
to
take
this
Order
the
Eve
before
they
are
to
take
that
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
for
which
reason
,
their
Arms
are
Encompassed
with
the
Collars
of
both
the
Orders
,
and
they
are
called
Knights
of
the
Kings
Orders
,
in
the
plural
number
.
Of
the
whole
number
of
those
that
had
formerly
received
the
Order
of
St.
Michael
,
the
King
selected
and
retained
a
hundred
on
the
12th
of
January
,
1665.
of
which
a
List
was
Printed
,
since
which

his

has
reformed
several

see
in

by

the
Third
,
King
of

and
Poland
,
as
an
Eternal-Mark
of
!
his
Piety
,
and
thankful
acknowledgment
he
desired
to
render
to
Almighty
God
,
for
the
repeated
and
signal
Favours
he
had
received
from
him
on
the
day
of
Pentecost
,
or
of
his
sending
the
Holy
Ghost
;
for
that
on
that
day
he
was
Born
,
was
Elected
King
of
Poland
,
and
succeeded
to
the
Crown
of
France
by
the
Death
of
Charles
the
Ninth
.
He
likewise
stinted
the
number
of
these
Knights
to
thirty
six
;
but
their
number
has
now
been
a

time
unlimited
:

Lewis
the
Thirteenth
in
the
year
1633.
at
Fountainbleau
,
gave
the

to
fifty
of
his

made
in

there
were

which

on
his
Majesties
side

whilst
his
Majesty
was
kneeling
before
the
Altar
to
receive
the
Sacrament
,
were
ordinarily
two
Knights
of
the
Orders

but
now
it
is
not
so
much
regarded
,
whether
they
be
Knights
or
no
;
And
if
the
Dauphin
happen
to
be
in
presence
,
then
he
alone
holds
up
both
the
ends
of
the
said
Cloth
on
the
Kings
side
;
and
did
so
several
times
before
he
was
made
Knight
,
and
when
he
was
but
a
Blue-Ribband
Man
,
and
but
a
Candidate
of

All
Knights
of

Assistant

of
the

The

of
the
Kings
Orders
,
upon
the
Festival
Days
of
the
Order
,
go
in
the
Morning
,
to
the
Kings
Chamber
,
and
march
two
and
two
before
him
,
from
his
Chamber
to
the
Chappel
:
And
if
upon
such
days
,
his
Majesty
chances
to
go
to
some
Church
,
that
is
any
thing
distant
,
then
the
Knights
go
beforehand
to
the

and
of
the

which
have
been
usurped

,

who
has

Besides
these
abovesaid
Orders
of
Knighthood
,
there
are
in
France
,
many
Knights
of
Malta
,
and
Great
Priors
and
Commanders
of
that
Order
,
that
possess
there
many
rich
Lordships
,
with
great
Priviledges
and
Immunities
,
for
that
they
are
obliged
,
by
their
Order
,
to
expose
themselves
continually
for
the
common
defence
of
Christendom
against
the
Turks
and
Infidels
:
But
there
being
Books
enough
that
treat
ex
professo
,
very
largely
and
particularly
of
them
.
It
will
be
needless
for
me
to
insist
upon
any
further
description
of
them
,
in
this
small
Book
.
In
old
time
,
before
these
particular
Orders
of
Knighthood
were
instituted
,
this
word
Chevalier
,
or
Knight
,
was
used
to
signifie
some
great
precedent
merit
,
from
whence
it
comes
to
pass
,
that
Gentlemen
of
Quality
,
and
of
ancient
Families
,
still
to
this
day
,
assume
that
Quality
,
and
write
themselves
Messire
,
N.
Knight
,
and
Lord
of
Messire
,
being
a
Title
intimating
Nobility
,
and
Chevalier
,
or
Knight
,
being
reckoned
a
worthier
Title
than
that
of
their
Mannours
,
or
Seignieuries
,
of
which
they
are
Lords
.
And
of
these
Knights
,
there
were
two
sorts
,
or
Orders
,
viz.
Bannerets
,
and
Batchellours
:
the
Banneret
was
he
that
could
raise
men
enough
of
his
own
Vassals
to
follow
his
Banner
;
the
Batchellour
was
such
a
one
as
went
to
the
Wars
under
another
Mans
Banner
:
and
under
these
,
was
the
Esquire
,
which
is
a
quality
still
taken
by
the
last
and
lowest
rank
of
Nobility
there
.
CHAP.
XIV
.
Of
the
general
Dignities
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
first
,
of
the
High
Constable
.
THE
High
Constable
was
the
first
of
all
the
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
and
next
to
the
King
,
was
Sovereign
Head
of
the
Armies
of
France
,
and
took
place
immediately
next
after
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
chiefly
in
Parliament
.
At
first
,
he
was
no
more
than
the
Great
Master
of
the
Horse
is
now
,
as
appears
by
the
Etymology
of
the
word
,
which
is
,
Comes
Stabuli
,
i.
e.
Count
of
the
Stable
:
On
the
sides
of
his
Coat
of
Arms
,
he
bore
as
a
mark
of
his
Dignity
,
two
naked
Swords
,
with
the
points
upward
,
held
by
a
right-hand
armed
,
with
a
Gantlet
coming
out
of
a
Cloud
:
He
was
sworn
by
the
King
himself
.
At
publick
Entries
of
Kings
,
the
Constable
marched
foremost
before
his
Majesty
,
on
his
right
hand
,
holding
a
naked
Sword
;
And
when
the
King
sate
on
his
Bed
of
Justice
,
or
in
the
Assembly
of
the
general
Estates
,
he
sate
before
him
on
his
right
hand
.
The
Power
of
this
Officer
was
much
augmented
by
the
Successours
of
Hugh
Capet
,
when
the
Office
of
Mayor
of
the
Palace
was
supprest
,
and
though
there
were
Constables
before
Hugh
Capet
,
yet
they
had
till
then
,
no
power
in
the
Armies
:
If
we
may
believe
M.
du
Tillet
,
who
sets
down
the
Constables
,
according
to
their
Succession
,
the
first
to
be
found
in
History
,
was
Froger
of
Châlons
,
under
Lewis
the
Gross
,
who
therefore
may
well
be
called
the
first
Constable
,
he
being
the
first
that
ever
enjoyed
that
large
power
the
Constables
enjoyed
after
that
time
,
to
whose
Command
in
the
Armies
,
the
very
Princes
of
the
Blood
were
subjected
.
He
that
first
Exalted
the
Power
of
Constable
to
a
Soveraign
Command
over
all
the
men
of
War
,
not
excepting
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
was
Matthew
the
second
,
Baron
of
Montmorency
.
The
Constable
had
right
to
take
a
days
pay
,
as
his
Fee
,
of
all
Military
Persons
entred
into
the
Kings
pay
,
at
the
first
payment
they
received
,
and
of
the
Horse
and
Foot
that
were
under
the
Command
of
the
Master
or
Clerk
of
the
Cross-Bow-men
,
and
in
general
,
of
all
those
that
were
paid
by
the
Treasurers
of
the
Wars
,
except
only
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
and
their
Domesticks
,
that
served
in
the
War
at
their
own
Expences
,
and
the
Officers
and
Souldiers
at
Sea
.
It
was
Treason
to
offend
the
Constable
,
as
it
was
Judged
in
the
Case
of
Peter
de
Craôn
,
who
had
attempted
upon
the
Life
of
Oliver
de
Clisson
,
High
Constable
.
The
Jurisdiction
,
or
Court
held
at
the
Marble
Table
,
is
called
the
Constablerie
and
Marshalsey
,
and
though
the
Office
of
Constable
was
supprest
by
a
Declaration
of
the
last
King
,
in
1627.
after
the
Death
of
the
then
Duke
de
Lesdiguieres
,
the
last
Constable
,
yet
so
much
of
his
Jurisdiction
and
Power
,
as
was
exercised
at
the
Marble
Table
,
remains
still
in
the
hands
of
the
Marshals
of
France
,
that
were
formerly
but
his
Lieutenants
.
The
number
of
Constables
is
differently
related
by
the
Annalists
,
who
as
little
agree
in
the
Order
of
their
Succession
.
There
is
still
,
always
in
the
Armies
,
a
Provost
of
the
Constablery
,
that
gives
out
Passports
,
and
has
jurisdiction
and
power
to
take
cognisance
of
all
Disorders
of
Men
of
War
,
and

and
another

The

supprest
the
Offices
of
High
Constable
,
and
Colonel-General
of
the
Infantry
of
France
,
with
a
Provision
for
the
future
,
that
they
should
never
be
renewed
again
upon
what
pretence
soever
:
and
the
suppression
of
that
of
Colonel-General
of
the
Infantry
,
was
again
confirmed
the
23d
of
July
1661.
The
first

Marshal
of

Officiates
the

,
a

Before
we
conclude
this
Chapter
,
it
will
not
be
impertinent
the
following
Article
of
the
Priviledges
of
this
High
Office
found
in
the
Registers
of
the
Chamber
of
Accounts
in
a
Bag
called
Spalia
,
and
exprest
in
old
French
.
Item
,
The
Constable
is
to
have
his
Chamber
at
Court
,
near
the
King
,
where-ever
his
Majesty
be
;
and
in
his
Chamber
,
is
to
have
twelve
Stools
,
and
twelve
Cushions
,
and
Billets
for
his
fire
;
and
he
is
to
have
a
certain
allowance
of
Wine
,
and
two
pound
of
small
Candles
,
and
a
Torch
by
Night
,
to
conduct
him
to
his

,
or
into

,
which

And

and
of
every
Mess
,
cookt
or
raw
,
as
much
as
is
necessary
,
and
a
Stable
for
four-Horses
.
Item
,
If
a
Castle
,

Forteress
be
taken
,
or
do
yield
,
the
Horses
,

,
Provisions
,

,
and
the

the
Cross-Bow-Men
.
There
has
been
sometimes
made
a
Lieutenant-General
,
representing
the
Kings
Person
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
which
is
an
Authority
almost
equal
to
the
Constables
,
though
held
only
by
Commission
:
There
was
one
of
these
made
in
1560.
under
Charles
the
Ninth
,
and
the
late
Duke
of

enjoyed
the
same
Dignity
in

Minority
of

Great
.
CHAP.
XV.
Of
the
Marshals
of
France
.
IT
will
be
no
easy
matter
to
tell
you
precisely
,
at
what
time
the
Office
of
Marshal
of
France
was
first
Instituted
,
because
the
Historians
that
have
made
mention
of
it
,
are
not
agreed
about
that
point
.
John
le
Feron
,
that
writes
their
History
,
makes
them
to
have
begun
under
Clovis
the
second
,
Son
of
Dagobert
,
in
the
person
of
one
Girard
Count
of
Dammartin
;
some
others
attribute
their
first
Creation
to
Hugh
Capet
:
But
I
can
subscribe
to
neither
of
these
opinions
,
my
first
reason
is
,
because
John
de
Feron
has
not
the
approbation
of
all
those
well
skill'd
in
History
;
my
second
,
that
after
having
perused
over
the
most
part
of
the
French
Annalists
,
I
can
find
no
mention
made
of
any
Marshals
of
France
till
the
time
of
Philip
the
First
,
neither
was
it
by
History
that
I
found
out
the
name
in
that
Reign
,
but
by
reading
the
Records
of
the
Foundation
of
the
Church
of
St.
Martin
des
Champs
,
or
of
St.
Martins
in
the
Fields
,
in
Paris
,
dated
in
the
year
1067.
Signed
by
his
Majesty
and
other
Lords
,
and
afterwards
by
Guy
and
Anselm
,
Marshals
of
France
,
without
the
addition
of
any
other
Sur-names
.
This
Charter
which
cannot
be
charged
with
Forgery
,
induces
me
to
believe
,
that
there
were
always
some
of
that
name
and
Dignity
,
ever
since
their
first
Creation
,
which
agrees
with
the
opinion
of
M.
Du
Tillet
;
but
because
it
is
more
commonly
believed
,
that
they
were
always
the
Lieutenants
of
the
Constables
,
I
shall
not
absolutely
contradict
it
,
and
because
the
Office
of
Constable
was
then
but
the
fourth
Dignity
in
the
Kingdom
,
and
that
their
Command
extended
but
over
a
part
of
the
Kings
Cavalry
,
I
cannot
be
persuaded
that
the
Marshals
of
France
have
always
been
Generals
of
Armies
:
The
Office
of
Constable
became
the
first
Dignity
of
France
,
by
the
Valour
of
Matthew
of
Montmorency
,
who
in
the
time
of
Philip
Augustus
,
gained
the
Battle
of
Bovines
,
against
the
joint
Forces
of
the
Emperour
Otho
,
and
the
King
of
England
,
who
were
then
Armed
and
Leagued
together
against
that
Great
Prince
:
And
then
it
was
,
that
the
Dignity
of
Marshal
of
France
raised
it self
to
that
Lustre
which
it
keeps
to
this
day
;
for
whereas
they
were
before
but
Lieutenants
of
the
Constable
in
the
Kings
Stables
only
,
they
from
that
time
his
Lieutenants
also
in
the
Command
of
the
Armies
,
and
since
the
suppression
of
that
Dignity
,
exercise
the
whole
remainder
of
the
Authority
annexed
to
it
,
which
is
conferred
upon
them
,
by
putting
a
Staff
of
Command
into
their
hands
.
The
Marshals
of
France
bear
,
as
a
mark
of
their
Dignity
,
two
Azure
Staves
,
set
with
Flower-deluces
of
gold
,
passed
Salteir-wise
,
behind
their
Coats
of
Arms.
Their
Offices
depend
wholly
of
the
Crown
,
and
they
are
Sworn
for
them
by
the
King
himself
:
They
are
commonly
given
as
recompences
to
Eminent
Commanders
,
for
some
great
Military
Exploits
,
and
are
not
Hereditary
:
They
cannot
be
deprived
of
the
Title
of
their
Dignities
,
but
with
the
loss
of
their
Lives
,
only
they
may
be
suspended
from
the
Exercise
of
their
Office
.
They
are
not
obliged
to
take
any
Oath
in
Parliament
no
more
than
was
the
Constable
.
The
Provosts
of
the
Marshals
,
or
Provost
Marshals
,
are
Royal
Judges
,
established
in
every
Province
under
the
Authority
and
dependance
of
the
Marshals
of
France
.
They
have
Jurisdiction
over
all
Vagabonds
and
people
that
are
no
House-Keepers
;
and
in
many
Cases
,
over
them
that
are
House-Keepers
too
,
if
they
commit
any
Robberies
on
the
High-way
,
if
they
be
Incendiaries
,
Coiners
of
false
money
,
or
be
guilty
of
wilful
Murther
,
and
other
Crimes
.
The
Marshals
of
France
were
at
first
but
two
in
number
,
but
since
that
,
the
necessity
of
Affairs
has
given
occasion
sometimes
to
the
doubling
of
that
number
.
There
were
four
under
Charles
the
Seventh
,
who
were
afterward
reduced
to
the
old
number
:
Francis
the
First
,
finding
himself
obliged
to
maintain
three
or
four
Armies
,
to
oppose
the
great
Enemies
,
which
he
had
always
to
deal
with
,
revived
again
the
number
of
four
,
and
soon
after
added
a
fifth
,
who
was
Francis
of
Montmorency
,
Son
of
the
Constable
of
that
Name
,
by
way
of
recompence
to
his
Father
,
for
the
Office
of
Great
Master
of
France
,
which
he
had
resigned
by
his
Orders
to
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
but
with
this
condition
,
that
this
fifth
place
should
be
supprest
upon
the
Death
of
the
First
of
the
five
that
should
die
:
The
Duke
of
Mayenne
made
three
during
the
time
he
was
head
of
the
League
;
and
Henry
the
Great
,
when
by
the
acknowledgment
of
his
Subjects
he
came
to
be
peaceable
Possessour
of
the
Kingdom
,
Created
two
of
those
three
Marshals
of
France
,
viz.
Vrban
de
Laval
,
Sieur
de
Bois
Dauphin
,
and
Claudius
de
la
Chartre
:
Lewis
the
Thirteenth
never
limited
the
number
of
them
,
and
the
Present
has
augmented
it
with
several
new
ones
:
Those
of
them
that
are
still
alive
,
and
that
keep
the
Court
of
the
Constablery
at
the
Marble
Table
;
are
these

according
to

are
two
Camp
,
or
Field-Marshals
,
that
change
in
the
same
manner
,
beginning
with
the
Elder
of
the
two
.
When
the
King
Commands
his
Armies
in
Person
,
he
has
always
two
,
or
four
Marshals
of
France
under
him
:
And
when
any
Prince
of
the
Blood
Commands
them
,
he
has
commonly
two
Marshals
of
France
under
him
.
Every
General
has
four
Adjutants
,
or
Aids
de
Camp
,
to
carry
about
his
Orders
,
which
are
commonly
young
Noblemen
,
or
sometimes
old
Officers
.
A
Lieutenant-General
has
at
least
two
Aids
de
Camp
,
and
the
Marshals
de
Camp
,
or
Field-Marshals
,
have
each
of
them
one
:
Formerly
there
were
Battle-Marshals
in
every
Army
,
but
at
present
there
are
none
,
only
Mr.
de
Fougerais
is
one
,
as
being
such
by
Title
of
a
standing
Office
,
though
without
acting
as
such
:
Next
are
the
Brigadeers
,
who
are
chosen
from
among
the
Camp-Masters
of
oldest
standing
,
to
Command
Brigades
composed
of
five
or
six
Regiments
of
Horse
,
Foot
,
and
Dragoons
:
Next
them
are
the
Camp-Masters
that
Command
over
the
several
Regiments
of
Horse
,
and
the
Colonels
in
the
Foot-Regiments
,
and
then
the
Lieutenant-Colonels
,
a
Major
,
and
the
Aid
,
or
Adjutant-Majors
,
in
the
Foot-Regiments
,
but
in
the
Cavalry
,
the
Major
is
the
second
Person
;
Next
are
the
Captains
of
every
Company
,
and
in
Companies
of
Light-Horse
;
under
every
Captain
there
is
a
Lieutenant
and
a
Corner
,
but
in
Companies
of
Gensd'arms
,
or
of
Foot
,
there
are
Lieutenants
,
and
after
them
Ensigns
instead
of
Cornets
.
As
for
the
Quarter-Masters
,
or
Marshals
of
the
Lodgings
of
the
Armies
;
There
is
one
Quarter-Master
General
of
the
Cavalry
,
who
is
M.
de
St.
Martin
,
who
enjoys
it
by
Title
of
a
standing
Office
,
who
has
under
him
several
Adjutants
,
and
Fouriers
,
or
Under-Quarter-Masters
:
In
the
Body
of
the
Infantry
of
every
Army
,
there
is
a
Major-General
of
the
Brigades
,
from
whom
the
Majors
of
every
Brigade
receive
their
Orders
;
Then
there
is
a
Quarter-Master
for
every
Regiment
,
who
having
known
from
his
Superiours
the
Quarters
allotted
to
his
Regiment
,
divides
and
shares
them
out
among
the
several
Companies
,
and
Orders
the
Quarter-Masters
of
each
Company
to
lodge
the
Captains
,
Officers
,
and
Souldiers
accordingly
.
The
four
Quarter-Masters
General
at
present
of
the
Kings
Camps
and
Armies
are
,
M.
Fougueux
,
M.
de
l'
Anglée
,
M.
Bolé
,
and
M.
du
Verger
:
when
they
are
in
the
Armies
,
they
have
every
one
two
Harbingers
,
or
Quarter-Masters
under
them
,
who
are
paid
by
the
King
.
There
is
likewise
one
standing
Fourier
,
or
Harbinger
of
the
Kings
Camps
and
Armies
,
who
is
the
Sieur
de
Couty
.
Now
,
because
there
often
have
happened
differences
and
contests
among
the
Officers
of
Horse
,
and
those
of
Foot
concerning
place
,
and
precedency
of
Command
.
It
is
ordered
,
that
when
they
are
both
Incamped
on
a
Plain
,
the
Officers
of
Horse
shall
have
the
Command
,
but
when
they
are
Posted
in
any
Inclosure
,
Retrenchment
,
or
Barricado
,
in
any
place
,
then
the
Foot-Officers
shall
have
the
chief
Command
.
Note
,
That
in
former
time
,
when
the
French
King
went
to
Fight
,
they
marched
under
the
white
Cornet
of
France
,
Accompanied
with
several
Lords
Voluntiers
:
But
now
it
is
no
more
in
use
.
This
white
Cornet
was
different
from
the
Colonels
Cornet
of
the
Cavalry
,
which
is
also
white
.
CHAP.

.
Of
the
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
.
THE
Present
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
of
France
,
is
Lewis
de
Crevant
de
Humieres
,
Marshal
of
France
,
who
is
stiled
,
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
of
France
,
and
Super-Intendant
General
of
the
Powder
and
Salt-Peter
;
he
is
likewise
Governour
and
Lieutenant-General
of
Flanders
,
and
of
the
other
Conquests
made
in
the
Low-Countries
since
the
Pyrenean
Treaty
;
He
took
the
usual
Oath
for
this
Office
in
September
,
1685.
The
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
,
bears
for
a
mark
of
his
Office
,
under
his
Coat
of
Arms
,
two
Canons
,
or
Culverins
,
mounted
on
their
Carriages
.
Before
the
Invention
of
Canon
,
there
was
a
Great
Master
of
the
Cross-bows
,
and
Battery-Men
,
called
Cranqueneers
,
who
had
the
Super-intendance
over
all
the
Officers
and
Machines
for
Battery
:
The
Cranquins
were
certain
Engines
then
in
use
for
Battering
the
Walls
and
Gates
of
Towns
,
not
unlike
those
we
read
of
in
the
stories
of
all
Nations
of
those
and
elder
times
.
It
is
the
common
opinion
,
that
this
Office
has
been
ever
since
the
time
of
St.
Lewis
,
and
in
1411
,
under
Charles
the
Sixth
,
the
Sieur
de
Hangest
was
Great
Master
of
the
Crossbow-Men
;
in
lieu
of
which
afterwards
was
substituted
a
Captain-General
of
the
Powder
of
the
Artillery
;
which
Title
was
used
till
the
time
of
Henry
the
Great
,
who
in
the
year
1610.
Erected
it
into
an
Office
of
the
Crown
,
under
the
Title
of
Great-Master
,
in
favour
of
Maximilian
de
Bethune
,
Duke
of
Suilly
,
his
Favourite
.
At
present
in
every
Army
of
France
,
there
is
a
Lieutenant
of
the
Artillery
,
that
has
Command
over
all
the
Equipage
of
the
Artillery
,
and
takes
care
of
its
conducting
,
who
depends
of
the
Great
Master
.
The
Great
Master
has
the
super-intendance
over
all
the
Officers
of
the
Artillery
,
as
Canoneers
,
Pioneers
,
Wheel-wrights
,
Rope-Makers
,
and
other
small
Officers
,
of
which
he
keeps
a
Muster-Roll
in
all
the
Kings
Armies
,
in
every
one
of
which
,
he
has
his
Lieutenants
,
although
in
Cases
belonging
to
their
Offices
,
the
Marshals
of
France
have
likewise
a
Command
over
the
said
Officers
:
It
is
the
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
that
gives
Order
for
making
all
works
in
the
Armies
,
as
well
at
Sieges
of
Towns
,
and
in
their
Marches
,
and
he
has
power
over
all
the
Arsenals
of
France
:
He
has
also
the
charge
of
most
of
the
Tents
and
Pavilions
of
the
Army
,
and
has
the
Seat
of
his
Jurisdiction
in
the
Arsenal
at
Paris
.
The
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
is
always
Colonel
of
the
Kings
Fusileers
.
All
cast
Mettal
found
in
Conquered
Towns
,
or
rebellious
places
,
at
their
taking
,
belongs
to
the
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
,
as
his
Fee
,
who
sometimes
commands
the
very
Bells
to
be
taken
down
from
the
Steeples
.
There
are
Lieutenant-Generals
of
the
Artillery
in
the
several
Provinces
,
and
in
every
Army
,
the
principal
at
present
,
are
the
Marquiss
de
la
Frezeliere
,
M.
de
Vigny
,
Lieutenant-Colonel
of
the
Fusileers
,
and
Bombardeers
,
and
M.
de
Mets
,
Lieutenant-General
of
the
Artillery
of
Flanders
.
There
is
likewise
,
a
Comptroller-General
of
the
Artillery
,
M.
Camus
de
Clos
,
Intendant
of
Catalonia
;
a
Treasurer-General
,
M.
Stephen
Landais
;
a

,
one
Bayliff
of
the
Artillery
,
and
of
the
Arsenal
,
M.
Noel
Eustace
Pean
de
Chesnay
.
And
because
the
King
of
France
has
his
Wars
by
Sea
,
as
well
as
by
Land
,
having
treated
of
the
Constable
and
the
Marshals
of
France
,
who
have
succeeded
in
his
Authority
,
who
are
the
chief
Commanders
of
his
Armies
by
Land
,
we
shall
now
proceed
to
speak
of
the
Admiral
,
who
has
the
chief
Command
over
the
Naval
Forces
,
and
all
Maritime-Affairs
.
CHAP.
XIX
.
Of
the
Admiral
,
and
of
the
Maritime
Forces
.
THE
present
Admiral
of
France
is
the
Count
of
Toulouze
,
Lewis-Alexander
of
Bourbon
,
Legitimated
of
France
,
who
is
stiled
Admiral
,
or
Great
Master
of
the
Seas
,
and
chief
and
super-intendant
of
the
Commerce
and
Navigation
of
France
,
being
Constituted
so
in
the
Month
of
November
,
1683.
The
Great
Admiral
bears
,
for
a
mark
of
his
Charge
,
two
Anchors
passed
Salteir-Wise
,
behind
his
Coat
of
Arms.
The
Admiral
is
one
of
the
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
and
Commands
in
the
Wars
at
Sea
with
the
same
Authority
as
did
the
Constable
formerly
,
and
at
present
the
Marshals
of
France
,
in
those
by
Land
;
The
Power
of
this
Office
is
very
Great
,
and
was
much
augmented
by
King
Henry
the
Third
,
in
favour
of
the
Duke
de
Joyeuse
,
one
of
his
Favourites
,
that
was
then
Admiral
.
The
Admiral
grants
out
Commissions
to
Privateers
to
Arm
and
put
out
to
Sea
against
the
Enemies
of
the
State
,
and
has
Power
to
make
Truce
with
them
upon
the
Sea
,
for
three
Weeks
,
of
his
own
private
Authority
;
without
his
leave
no
Vessels
can
enter
into
any
Port
;
he
has
the
tenths
of
all
the
spoils
taken
at
Sea
:
He
is
Judge
in
all
Maritime
Causes
,
and
the
Appeals
from
his
Sentences
are
brought
to
the
Parliament
of
Paris
;
but
he
has
no
Place
there
by
vertue
of
his
Office
.
His
Chief
Court
is
kept
at
the
Marble
Table
in
the
Palace
at
Paris
,
whither
Appeals
are
brought
from
the
Judges
of
his
inferiour
Courts
;
and
he
has
his
Officers
,
that
take
cognisance
of
all
Delinquencies
and
Differences
that
arise
,
as
well
about
Contracts
and
Agreements
,
made
either
for
Warlike
Affairs
,
or
for
Merchandise
,
Fishing
,
and
all
other
things
whatever
,
whether
Civil
or
Criminal
,
putting
in
under
him
what
Lieutenant
he
pleases
,
he
gives
safe
Conducts
and
Pass-Ports
by
Sea
,
and
Licenses
for
Herring-Fishing
and
other
Fishing
,
and
causes
Watch
and
Ward
to
be
kept
on
the
Sea-Coasts
,
when
there
is
occasion
,
by
those
who
are
subject
to
that
Duty
;
and
appoints
Men
of
War
to
guard
the
Fisher-Boats
in
time
of
Herring-Fishing
.
The
Name
of
Admiral
was
borrowed
from
the
Arabians
,
who
came
by
Sea
,
pouring
in
like
an
Inundation
,
on
the
Christians
in
Europe
,
and
after
having
roved
over
all
the
Seas
of
this
Quarter
of
the
World
,
Conquered
Spain
,
and
from
thence
made
descents
into
France
,
by
the
Coasts
of
Guienne
and
Poitou
;
during
the
space
of
such
long
Wars
,
the
French
had
frequent
Communication
with
them
,
and
he
that
Commanded
in
Chief
over
all
the
other
Commanders
of
that
so
potent
and
formidable
Naval
Army
,
being
commonly
called
in
the
Arabian
Tongue
,
Amiral
Musulmin
,
that
is
to
say
,
Prince
of
the
True
Believers
,
(
for
so
those
Infidels
affect
to
call
themselves
)
the
French
,
who
retained
only
the
first
Syllables
of
that
Name
,
took
occasion
out
of
the
corruption
of
it
to
form
the
name
of
Amiral
,
i.
e.
Admiral
,
which
is
the
Title
they
have
ever
since
applied
to
their
chief
Commanders
,
or
Generals
at
Sea
.
All
Ships
of
War
are
to
bear
their
Admirals
Colours
,
and
the
Admirals
own
Ship
bears
a
square
White
Flag
,
upon
her
Main-Mast
,
and
a
Lanthorn
in
his
Poop
.
He
has
a
Sovereign
Command
over
the
Seas
of
France
,
especially
over
all
that
part
of
the
Ocean
,
and
of
the
Mediterranean
,
near
the
Coasts
of
France
,
and
over
all
the
Ships
of
War
,
and
Naval
Forces
.
The
first
Admiral
that
we
read
of
was
one
Lehery
,
or
according
to
some
,
one
Rotland
,
under
Charles
the
Great
,
called
by
Eginard
,
Praefectus
Maris
.
This
Office
was
formerly
held
only
by
Commission
,
and
the
first
that
possest
it
by
Patent
,
as
a
standing
Office
,
was
Enguerrand
,
Sire
,
or
Lord
of
Coucy
,
under
Philip
the
Hardy
,
in
1273.
though
according
to
some
others
,
it
was
not
made
a
standing
Office
,
till
the
year
1369
,
under
Charles
the
Fifth
,
and
the
first
Admiral
,
according
to
that
account
,
was
Amaury
Vicount
of
Narbon
.
There
were
several
Admirals
belonging
to
France
,
whilst
the
Kings
of
France
remained
unpossest
of
many
of
the
Maritime
Provinces
,
for
there
were
the
Admirals
of
Normandy
,
Brittany
,
Guienne
,
and
Provence
:
the
Admiral
of
Normandy
,
who
was
since
the
Re-union
,
called
the
Admiral
of
France
,
Commanded
from
Callis
,
to
St.
Michaels
Mount
;
He
of
Brittany
from
St.
Michaels
Mount
to
Raz
;
He
of
Guienne
,
from
Raz
to
Bayonne
;
and
he
of
Provence
,
from
Perpignan
,
to
the
River
of
Genua
:
About
this
Admiralty
of
Provence
there
arose
a
great
contest
in
the
last
Kings
time
,
between
the
Duke
of
Guise
,
who
pretended
to
that
Admiralty
,
and
the
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
,
who
put
an
end
to
the
Dispute
,
by
prevailing
with
the
King
,
totally
to
suppress
the
Office
of
Admiralty
,
and
to
Erect
instead
of
it
another
,
under
the
Title
of
Great
Master
,
Chief
,
and
Super-Intendant
General
of
the
Navigation
and
Commerce
of
France
,
which
he
did
by
a
Declaration
in
the
Month
of
January
,
1627.
The
said
Cardinal
gave
it
afterward
by
his
Will
and
Testament
to
the
Son
of
the
Marshal
de
Brezé
,
Duke
of
Fronsac
,
who
when
he
took
the
accustomed
Oath
for
it
in
Parliament
,
in
the
year
1648.
reassumed
the
Title
of
Admiral
,
but
he
being
killed
at
the
Siege
of
Orbitello
,
this
Office
was
exercised
in
the
Name
of
the
Queen
Regent
,
under
the
Title
of
Great
Master
of
the
Navigation
of
France
;
but
since
that
,
the
Title
of
Admiral
has
been
reannexed
to
those
other
newer
ones
.
The
Admiral
of
France
,
as
having
Command
over
two
Seas
,
viz.
the
Ocean
,
and
the
Mediterranean
,
bears
as
a
mark
of
his
Dignity
,
two
golden
Anchors
passed
Salteir-wise
behind
his
Coat
of
Arms
,
hanging
upon
,
and
fastened
to
two
Cables
;
the
Vice-Admiral
likewise
bears
the
same
.
The
Great
Admiral
has
30000
l.
yearly
appointment
,
raised
out
of
the
duties
of
Anchorage
,
and
other
Revenues
.
Next
to
the
Admiral
,
there
is
likewise
a
Vice-Admiral
of
France
,
who
is
at
present
the
Marshal
d'
Etrées
,
and
his
Son
in
Reversion
.
There
are
three

of
the
Naval
Forces
,
viz.
1.
Abraham
du

,
Marquiss
du
Bouchet
Valgrand
,
under

.
2.

Thus
having

in

CHAP.

.
Of
the
Kings
Councels
,
and
Ministers
of
State
.
Of
the
Chancellour
of
France
.
THE
Chancellour
is
the
Head-Officer
of
Justice
,
and
of
the
Kings
Councels
,
and
into
his
hands
he
has
wholly
deposited
it
,
that
he
may
distribute
and
dispence
it
impartially
to
all
his
Subjects
,
with
the
same
Power
and
Authority
as
he
might
do
himself
in
Person
:
for
this
reason
the
Seals
of
France
are
committed
to
his
Custody
,
which
he
makes
use
of
in
the
Administration
of
Justice
,
and
in
conferring
of
Gifts
,
Graces
and
Offices
,
as
he
thinks
most
reasonable
for
the
good
of
the
State
.
He
presides
in
the
Kings
Councels
.
'T
is
he
that
on
all
occasions
declares
the
Kings
Pleasure
;
and
when
his
Majesty
goes
to
Parliament
,
to
sit
on
his
Bed
or
Throne
of
Judgment
,
he
sits
before
his

on
his
left
hand
.
He
wears
a
Robe
of
red
Velvet
lined
with
Scarlet
Sattin
;
and
at
publick
Ceremonies
,
a
Cap
fashioned
like
a
Mortar
,
covered
with
gold
,
and
adorned
with
Pearls
and
precious
Stones
:
Before
him
march
the
Ushers
of
the
Chancellery
,
carrying
on
their
Shoulders
Maces
of
guilt
Silver
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Ushers
after
them
.
The
present
Chancellour
is
M.
Lewis
de
Boucherat
,
Knight
,
Lord
of
Compans
,
and
other
places
,
who
after
having
Officiated
the
Places

,
and
Commissary

,
and

,
and
Counsellour
in
the
Councel
Royal
several
years
,
and
rendred
very
considerable
Services
to
the
State
,
and
so
acquired
the
universal
approbation
of
all
people
by
his
indefatigable
Industry
,
and
his
great
Capacity
and
Zeal
for
the
service
of
his
Majesty
,
and
of
the
publick
,
was
at
length
,
upon
all
these
Considerations
named
to
the
Chancellorship
,
by
his
Majesty
,
on
the
Feast
of
All-Saints
,
in
the
year
1685.
who
was
pleased
to
Seal
his
Patents
,
deliver
him
the
Seals
,
and
swear
him
into
the
said
high
and
important
Office
the
3d
of
November
following
.
The
Chancellour
of
France
bears
,
as
a
mark
of
his
Dignity
,
a
Mortar-fashioned
Cap
of
Cloth
of
gold
set
with
Ermines
,
upon
the
Crest
of
his
Arms
,
out
of
which
,
with
the
Figure
of
a
Queen
coming
out
of
it
,
representing
the
Kingdom
of
France
,
holding
in
her
right
hand
,
a
Scepter
,
and
in
her
left
the
Great
Seals
of
the
Kingdom
:
and
behind
his
Coat
of
Arms
,
two
great
Vermilion
gilt
silver
Maces
,
passed
Salteir-wise
,
with
a
Scarlet
Mantle
set
with
rays
of
gold
towards
the
top
,
and
furred
with
Ermines
.
This
Office
was
instituted
,
as
some
say
,
by
Clotair
the
First
,
and
the
first
Chancellour
was
Bodin
in
the
year
562.
He
was
antiently
called
the
Great
Referendary
and
Keeper
of
the
Royal
Ring
and
Seal
.
When
a
Keeper
of
the
Great
Seal
is
made
at
any
time
,
he
has
the
same
Authority
given
him
as
a
Chancellour
,
only
with
this
difference
,
that
a
Chancellour
is
not
deposable
,
but
by
arraigning
him
at
the
Bar
,
and
taking
away
his
Life
,
whereas
the
Keeper
of
the
Seals
is
an
Officer
changeable
at
the
Kings
Pleasure
.
The
Original
of
the
word
Chancellour
comes
from
this
:
All
Letters
Patents
and
Charters
formerly
passing
through
his
hands
,
when
they
were
not
well
drawn
up
,
or
that
any
thing
were
found
in
them
not
conformable
to
Law
and
Custom
,
he
used
to
cross
them
out
,
by
drawing
certain
strokes
and
bars
cross
them
,
Lattice-wise
,
which
in
Latin
are
called
Cancelli
,
from
whence
comes
the
word
Cancellare
,
and
the
English
word
at
this
day
used
to
signify
making
void
any
Writings
,
viz.
to
Cancel
,
and
from
thence
,
the
word
,
Chancellour
:
Sometimes
he
is
called
for
distinctions
sake
,
Summus
Cancellarius
,
i.
e.
High
Chancellour
,
because
there
were
and
are
several
other
Chancellours
.
We
shall
speak
of
the
other
Officers
of
the
Chancery
,
when
we
have
described
the
Kings
Councils
.

of
the

,
and
four
Registrers-Keepers
of
the
Council-Bags
:
all
officiating
quarterly
.
And
one
Chief
Registrer
of
the
Requests
of
the
Houshold
.
There
are
eight
Ushers
,
or
Door-Keepers
in
Ordinary
belonging
to
the
Kings
Councils
;
and
eight
other
Ushers
of
the
Requests
of
the
Houshold
.
There
is
also
held
another
Council
called
the
Council
of
Parties
,
because
it
was
established
to
take
cognisance
of
the
Processes
or
Suits
moved
by
particular
Parties
one
among
another
,
whether
it
be
upon
their
Appeals
from
the
Judges
of
a
particular
Jurisdiction
,
or
of
a
Parliament
,
or
any
other
entire
Jurisdiction
;
or
for
particular
Affairs
between
City

City
;
or
between
one
private
Person
and
another
,
that
this
Council
has
called
before
it
,
or
of
which
it
has
reserved
the
cognisance
to
it self
.
The
Councellors
of
State
that
sit
in
this
Council
of
Parties
,
or
in
the
Council
of
the
Finances
,
are
for
the
most
part
,
Persons
that
have
served
a
long
time
in
other
Courts
,
or
Jurisdictions
,
as
in
the
Parliament
,
Grand-Council
,
and
even
in
the
very
Body
of
the
Masters
of
Requests
,
or
in
Embassies
to
Foreign
Princes
and
States
:
Those
of
the
last
sort
enjoy
the
Quality
and
Pension
of
Councellours
of
State
,
at
their
return
from
their
Ambassages
,
but
yet
have
not
all
Entrance
into
the
Council
:
Some
of
them
serve
there
all
the
year
,
and
some
but
six
Months
,
their
Salary
,
when
they
serve
all
the
year
,
is
2000
Crowns
to
each
:
They
are
sworn
by
the
Chancellour
.
Anciently
there
were
three
Masters
of
Requests
taken
out
of
the
Body
of
the
Parliament
,
that
used
to
stand
at
the
Door
of
the
Kings
Lodgings
,
leaning
with
their
Elbows
on
the
Rails
,
ready
to
receive
all
Requests
or
Petitions
,
that
people
had
a
mind
to
present
to
the
King
:
And
if
they
were
businesses
of
no
great
consequence
,
they
commonly
dispatcht
them
immediately
,
but
if
they
were
of
Consequence
,
then
they
made
report
of
them
to
the
King
,
when
he
was
in
his
Chamber
,
or
when
he
was
going
to
Mass
,
or
a
walking
:
And
when
business
begun
to
increase
,
they
waited
no
more
at
the
Door
,
but
near
the
Kings
Person
,
who
committed
to
their
Examination
,
all
the
Petitions
that
were
presented
him
.
They
usually
had
Lodgings
in
the
Kings
Palace
,
and
were
tabled
at
Court
.
They
at
present
,
take
cognisance
in
their
Court
,
of
Masters
of
the
Requests
of
the
Houshold
,
of
the
personal
and
possessory
Causes
of
the
Crown-Officers
,
and
of
the
Officers
that
are
Commoners
and
Tabled
in
the
Royal
Housholds
,
and
others
that
have
the
priviledge
of
Committimus
.
There
lies
an
Appeal
from
them
to
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
unless
it
be
when
a
Sovereign
Jurisdiction
is
given
them
by
a
solemn
remission
of
any
cause
to
them
by
the
Council
of
State
.
They
serve
likewise
in
the
Chancery
,
and
in
the
Council
of
State
,
where
they
report
and
sign
all
Petitions
that
come
thither
,
and
have
extraordinary
Commissions
in
the
Provinces
where
they
are
Intendants
of
Justice
,
of
Policy
,
and
of
the
Finances
,
or
Revenues
;
as
also
in
the
Armies
where
they
have
a
very
great
Authority
and
Power
:
They
have
power
to
preside
in
the
place
of
the
Presidents
in
all
Seneschalchies
and
Baily-wicks
.
The
Habit
used
by
the
Masters
of
Requests
,
at
great
Ceremonies
and
Solemnities
,
is
a
Scarlet-Gown
,
as
being
of
the
Body
of
the
Parliaments
,
where
they
have
Entrance
,
Place
,
and
Voice
,
or
freedom
of
Suffrage
,
and
opinion
deliberative
.
When
the
Masters
of
Requests
march
all
in
a
Body
,
accompanying
the
Chancellour
,
as
they
did
in
the
year
1660.
at
the
Kings
solemn
Entry
;
they
wear
as
they
did
then
,
black
Velvet-Gowns
,
with
golden
Girdles
,
and
Hat-Bands
.

THE
Grand
Council
,
being
at
its
Original

,
the
only
Councils
of
the
Kings
of
France
,
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
and
chief
Presidents
of
the
superiour
Courts
,
used
to
stile
themselves
Councellours
of
it
.
Afterwards
the
Title
of
Councellour
to
the
King
in
his
Councils
,
was
taken
up
instead
of
it
,
as
soon
as
a
plurality
of
Councils
was
erected
.
The
Grand
Council
was
reduced
by
Charles
the
Eighth
,
to
17
Councellours
,
and
one
Proctor-General
,
and
since
augmented
by
Lewis
the
Twelfth
,
with
three
Councellours
,
to
make
up
the
number
of
twenty
,
and
that
served
by
the
half
year
;
since
that
,
the
Advocates-General
,
and
the
Presidents
were
added
thereto
,
and
the
number
of
Councellours
augmented
from
time
to
time
,
by
new
Creations
,
insomuch
,
that
at
present
,
this
Company
is
composed
of
eight
Presidents
,
serving
by
turns
,
four
each
half
year
;
54
Councellours
,
serving
by
turns
,
27
each
half
year
,
two
Advocates-General
serving
half
a
year
apiece
;
and
one
Proctor-General
who
only
is
perperpetual
.
The
half-yearly
waiting
times
of
the
Councellours
,
begin
in
October
,
and
April
.
Besides
these
there
are
fourteen
Councellours
of
Honour
,
or
Titular
Councellours
in
the
Grand
Council
,
who
are
Candidates
as
it
were
of
it

and
succeed
in
the

.
There

twelve

the
Grand
Council
extends
throughout
all
the
whole
Monarchy
and
Dominions
of
the
King
.
At
its
first

,
it
had
power
to
judge
of
Appeals
from

and
of
the
Regulations
of
Judges
,
and
of
the
nullities
and
contrarieties
of

;
of
which
Regulations
of

,

of
Sentences
,
it
still
takes
Cognisance
;
as
also
of
the
Jurisdiction
of
Presidials
,
and
of
the
Provosts
of
the
Merchants
,
and
of
whatsoever
depends
thereon
,
concerning
the
Honour
,
Function
,

Regulation
of
their

.
It
also

Title
to
them
,
as

Pensions
charged
on
their
Revenues
,
excepting

It

belonging
to
the
King
from
Cathedral

,
upon
the

,
when
at
their
Instalments

Consecrations
they
swear
Fidelity
to
the
King

granted
them

Note
,
That
the
four
Wax-Chafers
of
the
Great
Chancery
,
are
the
same

perform
the
like
Function
in
the
Chancery
of
Paris

The
Letters
Sealed
in
the
Chancery
of
Paris
,
are
ordinarily
executable
only
within
the
Limits
of
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Parliament
:
But
yet
it
has
sometimes
hapned
,
that
when
the
Chancellour
was
obliged
to
follow
the
King
in
a
long
Journey
,
and
carry
the
Great
Seal
with
him
,
that
then
,
by
vertue
of
a
Declaration
from
the
King
to
that
end
,
the
Letters
which
should
have
passed
the
Great
Seal
,
were
only
Sealed
in
the
Chancery
of
Paris
,
and
thence
transmitted
to
,
and
Executed
in
the
other
Parliaments
of
the

Remarks
concerning
the
Governours
of
Provinces
.
The
Governours
and
Lieutenants
for
the
King
in
the
Provinces
,
are
what
the
Dukes
were
formerly
,
and
the
Governours
of
Towns
,
what
the
Earls
or
Counts
were
.
Under
every
Duke
there
were
twelve
Counts
,
and
over
all
the
Dukes
,
there
was
one
that
was
stiled
Duke
of
the
Dukes
,
or
Duke
of
France
,
who
was
the
Mayor
of
the
Palace
:
The
said
Qualities
of
Dukes
and
Counts
became
Hereditary
under
Hugh
Capet
,
who
having
made
himself
King
,
every
one
of
the
other
Great
Men
would
needs
make
himself
Master
and
Proprietour
of
the
Government
of
which
he
was
in
Possession
.
Hugh
Capet
to
have
their
good
will
,
winked
at
this
Usurpation
,
but
yet
being
not
willing
on
the
other
side
,
that
the
Royal
Authority
should
remain
always
Clouded
,
he
assembled
all
these
Dukes
,
and
made
an
Agreement
with
them
,
by
which
he
left
them
a
lawful
Succession
to
all
their
respective
States
,
but
with
condition
however
,
that
for
lack
of
Heirs
Male
to
succeed
in
a
Right
Line
,
or
when
the
Possessours
of
them
should
happen
to
be
Attainted
and
Convinced
of
the
Crime
of
Felony
,
they
should
return
to
the
Crown
.
They
that
are
well
read
in
History
,
have
,
without
doubt
,
remarked
the
return
of
all
these
parcels
to
their
principle
by
the
one
or
the
other
of
these
reasons
.
And
because
the
Quality
of
Mayor
of
the
Palace
,
or
of
Count
of
Paris
in
which
the
first
was
Confounded
,
had
served
him
as
it
had
done
to
Pepin
,
for
a
step
to
arrive
to
the
Throne
,
he
supprest
that
too
at
the
same
time
,
for
the
better
securing
of
the
Crown
to
his
Successours
.
The
Governours
and
Lieutenants
for
the
King
,
in
the
Provinces
,
have
under
them
the
Governours
of
Towns
,
as
the
Dukes
had
the
Counts
;
but
with
this
difference
,
that
the
number
of
Governours
of
Towns
that
are
under
each
Governour
of
a
Province
,
is
not
determined
,
one
Province
having
more
Towns
,
and
another
fewer
.
The
Power
of
the
Governours
and
Lieutenants-General
of
Provinces
,
is
altogether
like
that
of
the
ancient
Dukes
and
Counts
;
which
is
,
to
keep
in
the
Kings
Obeysance
the
Provinces
and
Places
given
them
in
Custody
,
to
maintain
them
in
Peace
and
Tranquility
,
to
have
Power
or
Command
over
their
Arms
,
to
defend
them
against
Enemies
,
and
against
Seditious
attempts
,
to
keep
the
places
well
fortified
and
provided
with
what
is
needful
,
and
assist
the
Execution
of
Justice
,
every
one
in
his
respective
Government
.
But
at
the
beginning
,
when
these
Governours
were
first
established
,
there
were
none
but
only
in
the
Frontier
Towns
;
but
because
in
the
time
of
the
Civil
Wars
,
all
the
Provinces
became
Frontier
,
there
was
a
necessity
of
placing
Governours
,
not
only
in
the
Provinces
,
but
in
all
the
Towns
.
Their
Commissions
are
verified
in
the
Parliaments
of
their
respective
Provinces
,
in
which
the
Governours
of
the
same
Provinces
have
place
,
ordinarily
next
after
the
Chief
Presidents
.
They
are
only
simple
Commissions
,
whose
Continuation
depends
only
of
the
Kings
sole
Pleasure
,
though
some
years
past
,
there
were
crept
in
some
abuses
in
this
affair
,
and
the
Governours
were
become
,
as
it
were
,
Hereditary
.
Note
,
That
all
the
Lieutenants-General
of
Provinces
,
and
Lieutenants
of
particular
Towns
and
Places
,
are
stiled
Lieutenants
for
the
King
,
because
they
are
put
in
by
the
King
,
and
have
no
dependance
on
the
Chief
Governour
,
under
whose
Command
they
are
.

Of
France
,
as
divided
into
Parliaments
,
Courts
judging

Appeal
,
and
other
Courts
of
Justice
.
1.
Of
the
Administration
of
Justice
,
and
the
first
Institution
of
Parliaments
.
JUstice
was
formerly
administred
by
the
Kings
themselves
,
who
render'd
it
in
Person
to
their
People
;
but
Affairs
multiplying
every
day
more
and
more
,
the
Kings
were
obliged
to
ease
themselves
of
that
Burden
,
reserving
to
themselves
only
the
Cognisance
of
Affairs
of
State
.
And
for
the
Administration
of
Ordinary
Justice
,
he
established
a
certain
Council
,
which
they
called
,
a
Parliament
,
which
judged
and
decided
all
Causes
and
Affairs
,
both
Civil
and
Criminal
,
between
Man
and
Man
;
and
that
without
Appeal
,
in
which
,
were
present
,
all
the
Peers
of
France
,
both
Ecclesiastical
and
Secular
:
This
Parliament
followed
the
King
in
all
his
Voyages
;
and
consequently
,
for
that
reason
,
was
in
those
times
,
Ambulatory
.
It
was
first
Instituted
by
Pepin
in
the
year
757
,
and
was
doubtless
the
same
thing
that
the
Privy-Council
is
now
.
But
at
length
the
Kings
parted
with
this
Council
in
favour
of
their
people
;
And
Philip
the
Fair
was
the
first
that
made
the
Parliament
Sedentary
,
and
gave
them
a
part
of
his
Palace
at
Paris
,
to
be
the
Seat
of
that
August
Senate
,
which
by
the
Integrity
of
its
Decrees
and
Sentences
,
has
acquired
so
great
a
Reputation
among
all
Nations
,
that
Popes
,
Emperours
,
Kings
,
and
Foreign
Princes
,
have
voluntarily
submitted
their
differences
to
their
Judgments
;
as
may
be
seen
by
several
Examples
in
History
,
and
among
others
,
by
that
of
the
Emperour
Frederick
,
with
Pope
Innocent
the
Fourth
,
and
of
the
King
of
Castile
with
the
King
of
Portugal
.
King
Philip
the
Fair
,
following
the
Example
of
his
Predecessours
,
Ordained
there
should
be
only
two
Sessions
of
the
Parliament
,
viz.
At
the
Feasts
of
Easter
,
and
All-Saints
,
and
distinguisht
them
into
two
Chambers
,
of
which
one
because
it
judged
of
the
most
important
matters
,
was
called
the
Grand
Vault
,
or
Grand
Chamber
,
and
the
other
,
the
Chamber
of
Inquests
,
or
Inquiries
.

The
Parliament
of
Paris
,
as
we
have
already
told
you
,
was
Instituted
by
Pepin
,
in
the
year
757
,
and
made
Sedentary
at
Paris
,
by
Philip
the
Fair
,
in
1302.
When
there
was
but
one
Parliament
,
People
came
thither
from
all
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
plead
.
The
Provinces

Causes

The

which
was
wont
to
be
practised
at
the
pronouncing
of
the
solemn
Sentences
,
four
times
a
year
,
viz.
The
Day
before
Christmass
Eve
,
the

before
Easter
,
the

before
the

of

,
and
the

.
At
their

,
the

and
the
Presidents

,
are
Reconducted
by
the
Ushers
in
Waiting
,
with
their
Wands
in
their

,
to
the
Higher
Holy

.
The

of
the
Parliament
,
and
other
Officers
of
Judicature
,
are
habited
all
alike
,
viz.
In
Cassocks
,
or
long
Close-Bodied
Coats
,
and
Square-Caps
.
At
the
first
Institution
of
the
Parliament
,
one
Moyety
of
the
Counsellers
were

the
[
*
](A27526-e131530-b)
*
Both
Sword-men
and
Gown-men
.
Short
Robe
,
and
the
other
Moyety
of
the
Long
,
but
at
present
,
they
are
all
of
the
Long.
The
particular
solemn
Ceremonial
Habits
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
are
,
for
the
Presidents
,
Scarlet
Mantles
,
Furred
,
with
their
Mortar-Fashioned
Caps
.
The
Chief
President
wears
two
gold
Galoons
upon
his
Mortar-Cap
,
by
way
of
distinction
from
the
other
Presidents
,
who
have
but
one
Galoon
.
The
Counsellers
,
and
the
Advocates
,
and
Proctors
General
,
wear
Scarlet
Robes
,
red
Chaperons
,
or
little
Hats
Furred

.
The
Chief

,
or

wear
also
Scarlet
Robes
;
and
the
Chief

a
Scarlet

,
with
a
Cap
of

.
Formerly
,
All
the
Bishops
of
France
had
ordinarily
Place
and
Voice
in
Parliament
:
They
still
use
the
Title
of
Councellours
to
the
King
in
his
Councils
.
The
Archbishop
of
Paris
,
and
the
Abbot
of
St.
Denis
in
France
,
are
Counsellers
by
their
Places
in
this
Parliament
,
where
they
place
in
ordinary
,
and
a
deliberative
Voice
.
Four
of
the
Masters
of
Requests
have
likewise
the
same
Priviledge
,
as
also
the
Honorary
Counsellours
of
this
Parliament
.
The
Parliament
of
Paris
has
this
particular
preeminence
above
the
rest
,
that
it
alone
is
called
,
the
Court
of
the
Peers
,
where
the
Dukes
and
Peers
of
France
ought
to
be
sworn
,
and
where
they
are
to
be
judged
too
,
when
they
are
impeacht
of
any
Crime
;
And
though
in
the
last
Reign
it
was
seen
,
that
de
facto
,
the
Marshal
de
Marillac
was
Judged
by
Delegated
Commissaries
,
and
the
Duke
of
Montmorency
,
by
the
Parliament
of
Toulouze
,
the
Parliament
of
Paris
pretends
,
That
these
two
Acts
were
done
against
their
Priviledges
.
Secondly
,
The
Counsellers
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
pretend
a
Priviledge
to
sit
in
all
the
other
Parliaments
,
without
allowing
the
same
Priviledge
reciprocally
to
the
Counsellers
of
the
other
Parliaments
,
in
the
Parliament
of
Paris
;
yet
it
is
to
be
remarked
,
That
the
Priviledge
of
sitting
in
the
Parliament
of
Paris
was
granted
to
the
Counsellers
of
the
Parliament
of
Toulouze
,
by
an
Ordinance
of
Charles
the
Seventh
,
in
the
year
1454.
which
the
Parliament
of
Paris
refused
to
verifie
;
whereupon
,
the
Parliament
of
Toulouze
made
a
Decree
in
the
year
1466.
by
which
they
Ordained
,
That
the
Counsellers
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
should
have
no
Admittance
into
the
Parliament
of
Toulouze
,
till
they
had
obey'd
the
abovesaid
Ordinance
,
made
in
their
Favour
:
Thirdly
,
The
other
Parliaments
,
not
having
that
extent
of
Jurisdiction
as
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
have
but
one
Chamber
of
Inquests
,
the
Parliament
of
Toulouze
but
two
,
whereas
the
Parliament
of
Paris
has
six
.
The
Parliament
of
Paris
;
opens
every
year
the
next
day
after
St.
Martins
Day
,
in
this
manner
,
The
whole
Body
being
in
their
Scarlet
Robes
,
go
to
a
solemn
Mass
,
Celebrated
on
that
occasion
,
in
the
Great
Hall
of
the
Palace
;
after
which
,
the
Advocates
and
Proctors
are
sworn
in
the
Grand
Chamber
,
and
the
Bishop
that
said
Mass
,
has
that
day
Place
,
and
a
deliberative
Voice
among
them
.
The
Parliament
continues
sitting
from
that
time
till
the
7th
of
September
,
after
which
follows
the
Vacations
:
During
which
Recess
nevertheless
,
there
sits
a
Chamber
called
the
Chamber
of
the
Vacations
,
which
takes
Cognisance
of
those
Causes
that
require
speedy
dispatch
,
and
Criminal
Affairs
.
In
the
five
Chambers
of
Inquests
,
all
Processes
,
or
Suits
,
are
Judged
,
concluded
,
and
received
by
Writing
,
that
they
may
the
better
discern
whether
the
Appeals
made
to
this
High
Court
of
Parliament
,
be
made
reasonably
or
no.
The
fourteen
Presidents
of
the
Chambers
of
Inquests
,
and
of
those
of
the
Requests
,
which
are
two
,
are
but
Counsellers
that
have
accepted
that
Commission
,
and
when
the
Parliament
is
met
,
and
marches
in
State
,
they
take
place
among
those
of
the
Grand
Chamber
,
according
to
a
Regulation
of
Parliament
of
the
1st
of
September
,
1677.
By
which
it
is
Ordain'd
,
That
in
Assemblies
,
Processions
,
and
other
publick
Solemnities
,
these
Presidents
shall
be
preceded
only
by
two
Counsellers
of
the
Grand
Chamber
,
of
which
the
first
is
to
be
Titular
,
and
the
second
may
be
only
Honorary
:
As
for
the
Presidents
of
the
Inquests
and
Requests
among
themselves
,
they
are
to
take
place
in
their
march
,
according
to
their
standing
,
and
the
order
of
their
admission
.
The

,
who

Months
.
The
Kings

of
August
,
and
was
Registred
in
Parliament
,
and
in
the
Chamber
of
Accounts
,
the
13th
of

.
The
Tournelle-Criminal
,
Judges
of
all
Appeals
in
Criminal
matters
,
excepting
those
made
by
Gentlemen
,
and
other
persons
of
State
,
which
are
to
be
judged
in
the
Grand
Chamber
,
it
is
called
the
Tournelle
,
because
it
is
composed
of
two
Presidents
,
with
Mortar-Caps
,
ten
Lay-Counsellers
of
the
Grand
Chamber
,
and
of
two
Counsellers
out
of
every
Chamber
of
Inquests
,
which
go
thither
every
one
,
Tour
à
Tour
,
that
is
,
in
their
respective
turns
,
once
in
three
Months
,
excepting
only
those
of
the
Grand
Chamber
,
which
are
there
six
Months
,
from
whence
it
is
called
the
Tournelle
:
At
present
there
are
four
Presidents
with
Mortar-Caps
.
The
two
Chambers
of
Requests
of
the
Palace
are
of
the
Body
of
the
Parliament
,
according
to
what
Charles
the
Fifth
writ
to
Cardinal
Vivazer
in
the
year
1450.
where
he
says
,
that
the
Requests
are
de
Gremio
Curiae
.
They
Judge
of
all
personal
Possessory
and
mixt
Causes
between
priviledged
persons
,
that
have
Committimus's
,
whether
they
be
Officers
that
are
Commoners
at
Court
,
or
others
.
There
likewise
the
Requests
of
the
Houshold
,
composed
of
the
Masters
of
Request
,
we
have
spoken
of
above
,
who
take
a
like
cognisance
of
the
Causes
of
priviledged
persons
that
enjoy
Committimus's
,
at
whose
choice
it
is
to
plead
,
either
before
the
Masters
of
the
Requests
of
the
Houshold
,
or
before
those
of
the
Palace
.
In
old
time
Justice
was
administred
without
Appeal
,
by
the
Bayliffs
and
Seneschals
,
that
the
King
sent
into
the
respective
Provinces
for
that
purpose
,
which
were
chosen
out
of
the
ablest
Sages
of
the
Law
,
of
his
Houshold
;
but
since
the
Parliaments
have
been
Instituted
,
or
made
fixed
and
sedentary
,
Appeals
are
admitted
to
the
Parliaments
from
the
Sentences
rendred
by
the
said
Bayliffs
and
Seneschals
.
In
fine

the

the
Chamber
of
Accounts
was
composed
but
of

,
and
sixteen

THE

.
They

some
other
Royal
Houses
,

,
when
the
Sieur
de

to
them
to
be

in
their
Office
.
All
Levies
of
Taxes
are
to
be
made
by
vertue
of
Letters
Patents
addressed
to
them
,
after
they
have
given
in
to
the
King
,
and
the
Lords
of
his
Councel
,
the
Departments
made

Calculations
,
of
recovering

collecting
the

in
order
to
their

them
.
The
same
method
is
to
be

all
the
other
Monies
raised
in
the
Kingdom
,
of
what
nature
soever
they
be
.
There

Policy
of
the
Surveys
,
particularly

in
the
Office

,
where
they
assemble
sometimes
.
The
Treasurers
of
France
are
the
Presidents
of
this
Chamber
of
the
Treasury
,
or

they
think
good
,
they

at
the
Audiences

Processes
,
or
Suits

:
And

,
go

Next
to
the
Treasurers

,
it
will
be
most
proper

to
speak
of
those
Jurisdictions

,
as

CHAP.
XXXVI
.
Of
the
Waters
and
Forests
.
THE
Jurisdiction
of
the
Waters
and
Forests
,
is
very
ancient
,
and
of
a
very
great
extent
.
It
was
establisht
to
hinder
the
Abuses
,
Delinquencies
,
and
Misdemeanours
,
which
might
be
committed
in
the
Kings
Woods
,
which
are
the
goodliest
part
of
his
Crown-Lands
;
it
likewise
takes
cognisance
of
the
same
abuses
committed
in
the
Woods
,
belonging
to
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
and
other
Noblemen
,
and
to
Prelats
,
Gentlemen
,
and
other
private
Persons
,
as
also
to
Communities
,
or
Corporations
.
It
also
takes
cognisance
,
both
primarily
,
and
by
way
of
Appeal
,
of
all
Enterprises
,
or
attempts
made
in
Woods
,
Warrens
,
Rivers
,
Isles
,
Islets
,
Mills
,
Fishings
,
Chaces
,
and
of
all
Processes
,
or
Suits
,
both
Civil
and
Criminal
,
arising
upon
those
Accounts
,
between
any
Persons
,
of
what
Quality
soever
,
nay
,
and
of
those
too
that
concern
the
very
Fund
,
or
propriety
it self
in
any
of
them
,
and
all
Regulations
of
Customs
,
thirds
and
tenths
of
Forests
and
Woods
,
&c.
This
Chamber
is
held
in
the
Great
Hall
of
the
Palace
,
near
the
Parquet
,
or
Bar
,
of
the
Kings
Advocates
,
and
Proctor-General
in
the
Parliament
.
It
s
Jurisdiction
extends
farther
than
that
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
;
for
besides
the
Appeals
of
Masterships
of
the
Game
,
and
of
the
particular
Courts
of
Justice
of
private
Lords
,
in
relation
to
the
Waters
and
Forests
,
that
are
within
the
limits
of
the
Jurisdiction
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
It
receives
likewise
those
of
the
other
Parliaments
,
where
there
is
not
as
yet
any
Marble
Table
;
as
of
those
of
Grenoble
,
Bourdeaux
,
Dijon
,
Aix
,
Pau
,
and
Mets.
And
it
has
likewise
an
over-ruling
Jurisdiction
over
the
Waters
and
Forests
of
other
Parliaments
.
The
principal
Officers
of
the
Masterships
and
Captainships
of
the
Game
,
and
of
the
Louvetry
,
or
Wolf-Hunting
,
are
admitted
in
this
Chamber
,
or
Court
.
Dukes
and
Peers
proceed
in
all
Cases
of
this
nature
,
in
this
Court
rather
than
in
any
other
Chamber
,
for
the
Waters
and
Forests
under
other
Parliaments
,
although
the
things
contested
about
,
be
scituate
within
the
extent
of
the
Jurisdiction
of
those
other
Parliaments
.
They
have
there
too
,
the
like
priviledge
as
in
the
Grand
Chamber
,
in
which
they
can
have
no
remedy
for
these
kinds
of
affairs
,
as
they
may
have
in
all
other
Cases
;
because
the
Ordinances
made
for
this
purpose
attribute
to
this
Court
the
full
and
plenary
cognisance
of
all
Causes
belonging
to
it
,
privatively
and
exclusively
to
all
other
Judges
,
notwithstanding
any
Committimus
,
or
any
other
priviledge
whatsoever
.
It
is
divided
into
two
sorts
of
Jurisdiction
,

CHAP.
XLV
.
Of
the
Order
observed
in
Levying
Taxes
.
AS
soon
as
the
summ
his
Majesty
is
pleased
to
impose
on
his
people
,
is
resolved
on
in
his
Royal-Council
,
Commissions
are
sent
to
the
Treasurers-General
of
France
,
establisht
in
the
Offices
of
the
several
Generalities
:
Which
Commissions
enjoin
the
said
Treasurers
General
,
to
divide
the
summ
which
they
are
Commanded
to
levy
upon
the
Elections
,
within
the
extent
of
their
respective
Generalities
,
into
as
just
and
equal
proportions
as
they
possibly
can
;
which
done
,
they
send
them
to
the
Elects
,
who
are
the
Judges
of
the
Elections
,
(
which
we
have
already
described
in
speaking
of
the
Election
of
Paris
)
with
an
Order
annexed
thereunto
,
by
which
they
are
Commanded
to
levy
just
such
a
summ
,
neither
more
nor
less
,
within
the
extent
of
their
Elections
.
The
Elects
thereupon
,
assemble
,
and
draw
up
Tax-Rolls
,
by
which
they
assess
the
Cities
,
Boroughs
,
and
Villages
,
within
their
several
Elections
,
and
afterwards
send
those
Rolls
to
every
Parish
,
who
chuse
Collectors
of
the
said
Taxes
out
of
the
Inhabitants
of
the
same
Parishes
.
Which
Collectors
are
obliged
again
to
make
particular
Rolls
for
their
Parishes
,
and
to
assess
every
one
of
the
Inhabitants
of
the
same
,
in
such
just
proportions
,
according
to
their
respective
abilities
and
capacities
,
as
will
make
up
the
summ
charged
on
their
Parishes
,
and
then
to
levy
the
money
so
assessed
,
and
carry
it
to
the
Receivers
of
the
Taxes
for
every
Election
,
and
they
again
are
to
return
it
to
the
General
Receivers
of
their
Generality
,
who
transmit
it
to
the
Treasure
Royal.
The
Taxes
are
paid
only
by
those
of
the
third
Estate
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
is
to
say
,
by
the
Inhabitants
called
Roturiers
,
who
are
no
Gentlemen
,
dwelling
in
Town
not
Free
,
and
in
Boroughs
and
Villages
,
according
to
the
proportion
of
Goods
they
have
that
are
Taxable
,
of
what
nature
soever
they
be
,
and
in
what
place
soever
scituate
,
except
in
Languedoc
,
where
only
Lands
and
immovable
Goods
are
taxable
,
so
that
the
Roturiers
,
or
Peasants
,
pay
nothing
for
the
noble
Fiefs
,
or
Lands
they
hold
there
in
Knights
Fee
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
the
Gentlemen
pay
for
the
Lands
they
hold
in
Villenage
there
,
because
the
Taxes
there
are
real
,
and
not
personal
.
Churchmen
,
Gentlemen
,
and
Persons
ennobled
by
Patent
,
are
exempt
from
Taxes
,
as
likewise
are
the
Officers
of
the
Sovereign
Courts
of
Judicature
,
the
Kings
Secretaries
,
the
Officers
that
are
Commoners
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
that
serve
there
actually
,
either
by
the
quarter
,
or
the
half
year
,
and
which
receive
at
least
60
Livers
yearly
Salary
,
and
whose
names
are
in
the
Rolls
,
or
Books
of
Accounts
,
Registred
in
the
Court
of
Aids
;
and
the
Veterans
,
or
superannuated
Persons
and
Widows
of
the
above-specified
Officers
,
during
their
Widow-hood
,
provided
nevertheless
,
they
make
no
Traffick
of
any
thing
but
what
is
of
the
growth
of
their
own
Lands
,
which
they
may
sell
freely
,
but
they
are
debar'd
from
Farming
any
Lands
of
other
Persons
,
without
paying
.
The
Officers
of
the
presidial
Courts
,
Bayliwicks
,
Seneschalsies
,
Provostships
,
Vigueries
,
Waters
and
Forests
,
Customs
of
things
Exported
.
Elections
,
Salt
Granaries
,
and
of
all
other
Courts
of
Judicature
,
and
Jurisdictions
in
the
Kingdom
,
are
exempt
from
Taxes
,
and
from
Watching
and
Warding
,
as
is
amply
expressed
in
his
present
Majesties
Declaration
of
the
Month
of
February
,
1674.
The
Citizens
of
Paris
,
and
of
other
free
or
priviledged
Towns
,
are
likewise
exempt
from
Taxes
.
The
Imposition
called
the
Taillon
,
or
little
Tax
,
was
establisht
by
Henry
the
second
in
the
year
1549.
to
augment
the
pay
of
the
Souldiers
:
This
Duty
is
paid
by
the
same
persons
that
pay
the
Taxes
,
and
with
the
same
compulsion
,
and
amounts
to
about
a
third
part
of
the
Income
of
the
Taxes
.
Subsistance
Money
is
another
Duty
,
which
has
been
begun
to
be
levied
but
of
late
years
.
It
is
so
called
,
because
it
is
raised
for
the
subsistance
of
the
Souldiers
in
their
Winter-Quarters
;
upon
payment
of
which
,
people
were
for
a
while
exempted
from
lodging
Souldiers
,
in
Winter
time
.
This
Duty
is
paid
too
in
the
same
manner
as
the
two
former
.
These
Duties
are
called
Real
,
in
respect
of
Patrimonial
Goods
,
personal
in
respect
of
ones
place
of
Habitation
,
and
mixt
,
in
respect
of
the
proportion
of
peoples
ability
,
or
sufficiency
;
to
distinguish
them
from
the
Aids
,
which
are
only
Impositions
real
,
as
we
shall
afterward
further
explain
.
The
five
Farms
called
the
Great
,
or
Gross
Farms
of
France
,
consist
in
several
Duties
and
Customs
exacted
for
Importation
,
and
Exportation
of
several
Merchandises
.
These
Farms
concern
most
,
the
Provinces
of
Normandy
,
Picardy
,
Champagne
,
and
Burgundy
.
Of
the
Aids
.
By
the
name
of
Aids
,
are
understood
the
Duties
the
King
takes
upon
all
sorts
of
Merchandises
,
except
Salt
.
Under
this
name
formerly
,
were
comprehended
all
manner
of
Impositions
levied
on
the
people
,
for
extraordinary
expences
,
which
the
Revenue
arising
out
of
the
Kings
Domain
,
or
Crowns
Lands
,
was
not
sufficient
to
defray
;
and
in
this
sence
,
under
the
name
of
Aids
,
were
understood
,
the
Taxes
,
Gabels
,
Tenths
,
and
other
Impositions
.
CHAP.
XLVI
.
Of
the
Gabels
.
THE
Duties
the
King
takes
upon
Salt
,
are
called
the
Gabels
.
It
is
hard
to
find
the
original
of
them
,
so
ancient
are
they
;
only
we
find
,
that
Philip
the
Long
,
about
the
year
1318.
took
a
[
*
](A27526-e138530-b)
*
The
sixth
part
of
a
Penny
.
double
upon
every
pound
of
Salt
;
and
that
under
Charles
the
Fifth
;
this
Duty
was
already
united
to
the
Domain
,
or
Revenue
of
the
Crown-Lands
,
contrary
to
the
opinion
of
those
that
attribute
the
establishment
of
it
,
to
Philip
de
Valois
.
In
the
Ordinance
of
King
Francis
the
First
,
made
in
the
year
1542.
It
is
said
,
that
a
[
†
](A27526-e138570-b)
†
A
Measure
being
something
above
half
a
Bushel
.
Muid
of
Salt
shall
be
sold
for
20
Livers
.
The
Gabels
,
or
Duties
on
Salt
were
sold
by
Henry
the
Second
,
to
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Countries
of
Poitou
,
Xaintonge
,
Aunis
,
Angoulême
,
Higher
and
Lower
Limosin
,
and
the
Higher
and
Lower
March
of
Perigord
,
in
the
year
1553.
and
those
Provinces
,
for
that
reason
are
called
the
Countries
of
free
Salt
:
The
Town
of
Callice
,
and
the
Reconquer'd
Countries
,
when
they
came
from
under
the
Dominion
of
the
English
,
to
return
to
the
Obedience
of
the
French
Monarchs
,
demanded
likewise
the
same
priviledge
of
having
their
Salt
free
.
There
are
three
Parties
,
or
Divisions
for
the
Gabels
,
viz.
1.
That
of
the
Country
of
Lyons
,
or
Languedoc
.
2.
That
of
the
Dauphinate
,
and
Provence
.
And
3.
That
of
the
rest
of
France
,
which
is
called
the
Grand
Party
.
The
Farmers
of
the
Gabels
are
obliged
to
buy
all
the
Salt
at
the
Salt-Pits
,
at
a
certain
price
,
to
pay
there
the
Kings
Duties
,
and
to
convey
it
at
their
own
Charges
,
Perils
,
and
Fortunes
,
to
the
Granaries
established
by
the
King
,
where
they
are
to
deliver
out
the
Salt
to
the
People
,
by
a
Commissioner
for
that
purpose
.
There
are
certain
Officers
established
over
the
several
Granaries
,
which
are
,
One
President
,
two
Granateers
,
or
Granary-Keepers
,
three
Comptrollers
,
and
one
Advocate
,
and
one
Proctor
for
the
King
,
who
issue
Process
out
against
such
as
make
bad
Salt
,
and
judge
of
the
goodness
of
the
Salt
,
and
of
the
quantity
requisite
for
the
extent-of
their
Jurisdiction
,
look
after
the
Weights
and
Measures
,
and
take
care
it
be
not
sold
above
the
Kings
set
price
.
The
Salt
is
distributed
two
ways
,
viz.
By
way
of
Imposition
,
or
voluntarily
,
according
to
the
discretion
and
will
of
the
Buyers
.
They
that
Inhabit
within
the
extent
of
the
Granaries
of
Impost
,
which
are
fixed
in
the
Frontier
Parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
or
that
live
near
the
Countries
,
that
have
the
priviledge
of
free
Salt
,
from
whence
Salt
may
be
easily
brought
to
them
,
are
obliged
to
take
every
year
,
a
certain
quantity
of
Salt
,
proportionable
to
their
Family
,
but
at
the
voluntary
Granaries
,
every
one
takes
but
what
he
pleases
;
And
so
you
see
,
that
the
Gabel
is
personal
at
the
Granaries
of
Imposts
,
and
real
only
at
the
Voluntary
Granaries
.

or
paying
it

so
took
the
said
Deniers
every
time
any
Money
was
brought
to
,
or
carried
out
of
the
said
Treasury
,
which
amounted
to
a
very
great
summ
.
At
present
this
Office
is
alternatively
executed
by
M.
Steven
Jehannot
de
Bartillat
,
and
M.
Gedeon
de
Mets
,
under
the
Title
of
Keepers
of
the
Treasury-Royal
.
The
Keepers
of
the
Treasury-Royal
usually
pays
every
year
,
all
the
Gifts
and
Gratuities
given
by
the
King
,
or
otherwise
they
give
in
lieu
of
them
,
assignations
or
Bills
,
acquitting
the
Parties
of
so
much
as
the
King
has
been
pleased
to
grant
them
.
There
are
three
Offices
of
Treasurer
of
the
Parties
Casual
,
or
Casual
Revenue
,
viz.
The
ancient
one
,
the
Alternative
one
,
and
a
Quadriennial
one
,
was
going
to
be
established
,
but
that
the
three
first
bought
off
this
fourth
Office
.
Formerly
,
there
was
but
one
at
the
time
of
the
establishment
of
the
venality
of
accountable
Offices
,
by
Lewis
the
Twelfth
.
Their
Office
is
to
receive
all
the
Money
arising
from
the
Sale
of
Offices
;
but
since
the
time
of
Henry
the
Great
,
several
Offices
are
become
Hereditary
,
upon
condition
of
paying
every
year
a
certain
Duty
or
Fee
,
which
is
therefore
called
the
annual
Duty
,
or
the
Paulette
.
But
if
it
happen
,
that
any
Officer
,
having
not
paid
the
aforesaid
Duty
,
die
before
he
resign
his
Office
,
or
survives
not
forty
days
after
his
Resignation
of
it
,
then
the
Treasurer
of
the
Parties
Casual
,
has

of
the
Office
for

there
are
several

in
the
Kingdom
,
where
there
are
very
good
Colledges
,
though
they
bear
not
the
Title
of
Universities
,
as
at
Rouen
,
Tournon
,
and
la

,
where
the
Jesuits
,
or
other
Communities

The
Faculty
of
Arts.
We
shall
speak
.
CHAP.
L.
1.
Of
the
Faculty
of
Theology
,
or
Divinity
.
THeology
has
always
flourished
in
this
University
,
ever
since
its
first
Institution
,
but
it
has
been
more
especially
in
recommendation
since
the
time
of
Peter
Lombard
,
Bishop
of
Paris
,
that
died
in
1164.
who
is
commonly
called
,
the
Master
of
the
Sentences
,
because
he
composed
a
Book
of
them
.
It
flourished
much
too
here
in
the
time
of
St.
Thomas
Aquinas
,
about
the
year
1265
who
composed
a
Summary
of
Divinity
,
and
several
other
works
;
and
now
in
Vogue
and
Reputation
more
than
ever
.
Although
they
have
priviledge
to
teach
Divinity
in
other
Universities
,
yet
there
are
no
where
more
Renowned
Schools
for
that
Faculty
,
than
in
the
Colledges
of
the
Sorbonne
and
Navarre
.
The
greatest
part
of
the
Doctors
have
not
fixed
in
any
House
,
or
Colledge
,
yet
there
are
many
of
the
House
and
Society
of
Sorbonne
,
and
many
of
the
House
of
Navarre
:
But
those
that
only
take
their
Degrees
there
,
are
only
Doctors
of
the
Sorbonne
,
or
of
Navarre
,
and
not
of
the
House
.
There
are
some
likewise
,
that
have
only
the
priviledge
to
claim
Hospitality
in
the
House
of
the
Sorbonne
,
who
are
called
either
Sorbonici
Hospites
,
Sorbon-Guests
,
or
è
familia
Sorbonica
,
of
the
Family
of
Sorbonne
,
but
not
Socii
,
Fellows
of
the
Society
of
Sorbonne
.
As
the
House
of
the
Sorbon
,
founded
in
1254.
in
the
time
of
St.
Lewis
,
by
one
Robert
de
Sorbonne
,
is
the
most
famous
in
its
kind
,
for
persons
of
most
Eminent
Learning
and
Vertue
that
compose
its
Society
;
the
Beauty
of
its
magnificent
Building
adds
a
Luster
to
it
.
The
admirable
Structure
of
its
Grand
Halls
where
Acts
are
kept
,
and
Lectures
Read
,
as
well
as
that
of
the
whole
Body
of
the
House
,
but
more
especially
of
its
Church
,
in
which
there
is
a
Dome
of
a
very
extraordinary
and
lofty
height
,
sufficiently
set
forth
the
Magnificence
of
the
late
Cardinal
Duke
of
Richelieu
,
who
has
immortalised
himself
by
this
work
,
and
made
of
it
as
't
were
a
Temple
,
Dedicated
to
his
Memory
.
He
lies
there
Buried
,
having
been
Provisour
of
the
said
House
.
The
Provisour
,
both
of
the
House
of
Sorbonne
,
and
of
that
of
Navarre
,
at
present
,
is
the
Archbishop
of
Paris
.
CHAP.
LI.
2.
Of
the
Faculty
of
Law
.
IN
ancient
time
,
all
Churchmen
and
Councellers
were
Commanded
to
instruct
themselves
well
in
the
Canonical
Constitutions
,
for
fear
they
should
ignorantly
offend
against
any
of
them
.
The
Schools
called
the
Decretal
Schools
,
where
at
the
present
the
Canon
Law
is
taught
,
and
of
late
time
,
the
Civil
Law
too
,
are
in
the
Street
called
,
la
Rue
de
St.
Jean
de
Beauvais
.
There
are
six
Regents
that
read
publick
Lectures
,
viz.
Three
on
Mornings
,
and
three
in
the
Afternoons
.
The
present
King
has
newly
set
up
a
Chair
for
the
teaching
of
the
French
,
or
Municipal
Law
at
Paris
,
in
the
Colledge
of
the
three
Nations
:
Mr.
Launay
,
one
of
the
ancient
Advocates
is
the
Lecturer
,
having
sworn
by
the
Chancellour
,
in
the
Month
of
November
,
1680.
At
Bourdeaux
there
is
likewise
another
Professour
of
the
French
Law
,
established
in
the
Month
of
July
,
1681.
And
there
is
another
at
Cahors
.

Of
the
Faculty
of
Physick
.
THE
third
Faculty
is
that
of
Physick
,
which
is
as
ancient
as
the
Institution
of
the
University
.
Several
eminent
Persons
have
made
this
Science
flourish
in
this
University
since
its
Institution
,
and
among
others
,
the
Learned
Fernelius
,
Chief
Physician
to
King
Henry
the
Second
.
The
Physick
Schools
are
in
the
Rue
de
la
Bucherie
,
where
they
have
been
ever
since
the
year
1469.
and
in
the
year
1608.
a
Great
Anatomical
Theatre
was
Erected
there
.
There
is
besides
,
one
Demonstratour
,
and
Operatour
of
the
interiour
parts
of
Plants
,
and
of
all
other
Medicines
,
and
of
Chyrurgical
Operations
,
at
the
Kings

,
who
is

Of
the
Faculty
of
Arts
,
of
the
Rector
,
and
of
the
four
Nations
.
THE
Faculty
of
Arts
is
the
Mother
of
all
the
Rest
,
and
for
which
Schools
were
first
Founded
.
The
Head
of
the
whole
University
,
who
is
called
the
Rector
,
is
always
chosen
out
of
this
Body
,
and
never
out
of
the
other
Faculties
:
This
Rector
has
so
great
a
power
over
the
other
Faculties
,
that
he
can
make
them
cease
all
publick
Acts
and
Lectures
;
and
on
the
days
he
makes
his
solemn
Processions
,
which
is
four
times
a
year
,
he
forbids
the
Preachers
to
go
up
into
the
Pulpit
.
For
these
solemn
Processions
,
all
the
Faculties
assemble
in
the
Maturins
Convent
,
in
the
Rue
St.
Jaques
,
and
from
thence
march
in
order
,
to
the
Church
appointed
by
the
Rector
,
who
is
accompanied
thither
by
the
Doctors
of
the
three
superiour
Faculties
,
by
the
Masters
of
Arts
,
and
a
great
number
of
Religious
Men.
He
being
the
Head
of
that
University
,
which
the
Kings
of
France
treat
as
their
Eldest
Daughter
,
as
it
is
reported
,
takes
place
of
all
sorts
of
Persons
,
excepting
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
,
and
ought
at
publick
Acts
in
his
University
,
take
place
of
the
Popes
Nuntio
,
of
Ambassadours
,
Cardinals
,
and
the
Dukes
and
Peers
of
France
.
At
the
Funeral
Obsequies
of
Kings
,
he
marches
side
by
side
in
an
equal
Rank
with
the
Archbishop
of
Paris
.
Whilst
he
injoys
this
Dignity
,
he
wears
a
Violet-Coloured
Girdle
,
the
trimming
of
his
Gloves
is
also
of
Violet-Colour
.
His
solemn
Habit
is
a
Violet-Coloured
Gown
,
with
a
silk
Girdle
of
the
same
Colour
,
with
golden
Tassels
,
at
the
end
of
which
hangs
a
Purse
of
Violet-Coloured
Velvet
,
called
an
Escarcelle
,
trimmed
with
gold
Buttons
and
Galoon
.
He
wears
over
his
Gown
a
little
Mantle
of
white
Ermine
,
which
reaches
down
,
round
about
,
half
way
his
Arms.
This
Dignity
is
Elective
,
and
lasts
but
three
Months
,
unless
it
be
thought
convenient
(
as
sometimes
it
happens
)
to
continue
it
to
one
Person
,
two
or
three
times
together
.
The
Faculty
of
Arts
is
divided
into
four
Nations
,
which
are
,
1.
The
Nation
of
France
.
2.
The
Nation
of
Picardie
.
3.
The
Nation
of
Normandy
.
And
4.
The
Nation
of
Germany
.
The
Titles
,
or
Epithetes
,
assumed
by
these
several
Nations
,
when
their
Proctor
speaks
for
them
in
publick
Assemblies
,
are
,
1.
Honoranda
Gallorum
Natio
,
the
Honourable
Nation
of
the
French
.
2.
Fidelissima
Picardorum
Natio
,
the
most
Loyal
,
or
Faithful
Nation
of
the
Picards
.
3.
Veneranda
Normannorum
Natio
,
the
Venerable
Nation
of
the
Normans
.
And
4.
Constantissima
Germanorum
Natio
,
the
most
constant
Nation
of
the
Germans
.
The
three
superiour
Faculties
likewise
,
when
they
speak
,
have
their
peculiar
Titles
;
for
the
Faculty
of
Divinity
stiles
it self
,
Sacra
Theologiae
Facultas
,
the
Sacred
Faculty
of
Divinity
;
the
Faculty
of
Law
,
Consultissima
Decretorum
Facultas
,
the
most
wise
Faculty
of
the
Decrees
;
and
the
Faculty
of
Physick
,
Saluberrima
Medicorum
Facultas
,
the
most
wholsome
Faculty
of
the
Physicians
.
There
are
in
this
University
,
many
Colledges
,
in
which
are
maintain'd
several
Regents
,
and
Lecturers
,
and
Professours
,
that
teach
the
Humanities
,
or
Learning
of
the
lesser
Schools
,
which
they
do
by
Classes
,
and
the
Sciences
,
Tongues
,
and
Philosophy
.
So
that
in
this
University
,
is
taught
all
in
one
House
,
whatever
is
taught
,
both
in
the
inferiour
Schools
,
and
Universities
of
England
.
So
that
there
is
no
need
of
fitting
youth
before-hand
,
in
inferiour
Schools
,
for
Universities
in
France
,
as
in
England
,
they
running
through
the
whole
Circle
of
Learning
in
one
Colledge
;
where
for
better
help
to
youth
,
there
is
a
different
Regent
in
every
Classis
,
which
are
all
in
distinct
Rooms
;
and
they
have
Preceptors
,
or
Tutors
besides
to
help
them
in
their
Exercises
.
There
are
maintain'd
in
these
Colledges
too
some
few
Foundation
Scholars
called
Boursiers
,
or
Bursers
,
but
the
Colledges
subsist
most
by
Pensioners
,
or
Borders
;
and
it
is
free
for
any
of
what
Nation
soever
to
lie
any
where
in
the
Town
,
and
yet
go
and
learn
in
the
Classes
,
and
hear
Lectures
,
upon
doing
which
,
they
have
as
much
priviledge
to
take
their
Degrees
,
as
those
that
reside
in
Colledges
,
so
that
the
number
of
Students
lying
in
the
Town
,
dost
vastly
exceed
that
of
those
that
reside
in
Colledges
;
And
the
number
of
them
is
indeed
prodigiously
great
;
the
Youth
not
only
of
all
Provinces
of
France
,
but
of
all
other
Europaean
Nations
,
flocking
hither
to
study
.
Besides
what
is
performed
in
the
Colledges
,
that
depend
of
the
University
.
There
are
likewise
Lecturers
and
Professors
of
Royal
Foundation
,
for
teaching
of
the
Oriental
Tongues
,
viz.
The
Greek
,
Hebrew
,
Arabian
,
Syriack
,
Caldean
,
Samaritan
,
and
other
Tongues
;
as
also
the
Mathematicks
,
and
Physick
,
as
also
Philosophy
,
Rhetorick
,
and
the
Latin
Tongue
,
all
which
,
are
performed
in
the
Royal
Colledge
,
by
Professors
paid
by
the
King
.
Philosophy
is
also
taught
there
in
French
by
some
Persons
,
as
of
late
by
the
deceased
M.
de
L'
Eclache
,
with
success
enough
.
There
are
also
Academies
for
Natural
Philosophy
:
Some
parts
of
the
Mathematicks
are
also
taught
there
by
private
Men
,
as
Geography
by
Mr.
Sanson
,
and
others
,
&c.
There
are
also
many
Masters
of
the
Modern
and
living
Tongues
.
It
is
also
worth
our
remark
,
that
at
certain
times
in
the
year
,
there
are
several
particular
and
extraordinary
Exercises
performed
in
Paris
;
As
in
the
Nave
of
the
Church
of
St.
Germains
Abby
,
there
is
every
Sunday
,
a
Flemish
Sermon
Preached
at
half
an
hour
past
two
in
the
Afternoon
;
a
Latin
Sermon
at
the
Great
Cordeliers
Church
,
on
St.
Bonaventures
Day
,
as
likewise
at
the
Augustins
,
Bernardins
,
and
Jacobins
,
on
the
Days
of
St.
Austin
,
St.
Bernard
,
and
St.
Dominick
;
and
on
the
Day
of
Quasimodo
,
there
is
a
High
Mass
sung
in
Greek
,
in
the
Cordeliers
Church
,
for
the
Confraternity
of
the
Pilgrims
of
Jerusalem
and
of
the
Holy
Sepulcher
,
in
the
middle
of
which
,
there
is
a
Greek
Sermon
.
Likewise
Note
,
that
in
the
Colledge
of
Beauvais
,
and
in
that
only
,
there
are
every
Year
publick
Acts
and
Disputations
in
Greek
.

LIV.
Of
the
Historiographers
of
France
.
THE
Office
of
Historiographer
of
France
is
possest
,
or
pretended
to
,
by
three
sorts
of
persons
