TO
THE
GROWING
GLORY
OF
GREAT
BRITAIN
,
The
hopes
of
our
Crown
,
and
the
crown
of
our
Hopes
Prince
Charles
,
At
his
Court
in
Caesaria
,
by
vulgar
contraction
called
IERSEY
.
SIR
,
I
Present
your
Highnes
with
the
Life
of
your
Royal
Oncle
of
France
,
A
successfull
and
triumphant
King
both
at
home
and
abroad
throughout
the
whole
course
of
his
Raign
,
and
that
,
in
so
constant
a
degree
,
as
if
Fortune
herself
had
bin
his
Companion
,
and
Victory
,
his
Handmayd
:
They
attended
Him
o're
the
Alps
;
They
usher'd
Him
o're
the
Pyreneys
;
They
were
his
Harbingers
o're
the
Rhine
,
and
they
brought
his
horses
to
drink
of
the
Danube
;
They
were
his
Pilots
at
Sea
,
and
they
fill'd
his
sayles
upon
the
Ocean
,
where
he
was
incomparably
more
powerfull
then
all
his
Progenitors
.
Nor
would
I
adventure
to
expose
thus
to
the
present
world
,
and
transmit
to
future
Ages
the
Raign
of
a
For
▪
rein
King
,
had
not
I
bin
Spectator
of
divers
of
his
exploits
(
and
had
occasion
also
to
make
my
addresse
to
his
Cardinal
;
)
for
the
rest
,
I
have
labour'd
to
gather
as
faithfull
instructions
and
authentic
notes
as
I
could
,
and
those
not
upon
loose
trust
or
from
light
persons
;
The
Relations
,
which
are
the
ingredients
of
this
Story
,
were
not
taken
at
the
Porters
lodge
,
but
above
staires
,
and
most
of
them
from
the
Counsell
Table
,
and
Courts
of
Parliament
.
This
Victorious
King
began
to
bear
Arms
and
wear
buff
,
about
the
same
yeers
that
your
Highnes
did
,
for
before
he
was
thirteen
,
He
suppress'd
in
person
two
Insurrections
in
Poitou
,
and
Britany
▪
He
quell'd
divers
more
,
which
at
last
turn'd
to
his
advantage
,
as
we
find
great
trees
growing
towards
their
full
consistence
,
corroborat
and
take
firmer
rooting
being
shaken
with
tempests
,
by
the
resistance
they
make
:
So
by
debelling
so
many
civill
commotions
he
came
to
finde
his
own
strength
the
more
,
and
to
be
fear'd
as
well
as
belov'd
of
his
Subjects
,
and
a
mixture
of
these
two
passions
make
an
excellent
government
;
For
though
the
strongest
Cittadel
of
a
King
be
his
Peoples
love
,
and
their
hearts
his
best
Exchequer
,
yet
it
is
observ'd
,
that
Love
without
Feare
commonly
turns
to
Scorn
,
and
Fear
without
Love
turns
into
Hatred
.
In
the
perusall
of
this
Royal
Story
,
if
Your
Highnes
please
to
observe
the
circumstances
and
grounds
of
some
intestin
broyles
,
You
shall
find
that
divers
of
them
have
a
neer
analogie
with
these
of
England
,
for
many
grew
from
discontents
,
that
the
great
Convention
of
the
three
Estates
was
discontinued
,
and
that
France
adhaer'd
to
Spanish
Counsels
,
with
other
resemblances
besides
;
Of
these
and
other
kind
of
commotions
there
happen'd
above
ten
in
this
Kings
Raign
:
Nor
is
it
any
news
to
hear
that
France
,
hath
such
fits
of
distemper
,
or
indeed
any
Countrey
else
,
that
labours
with
superfluous
humors
,
I
mean
that
swels
with
exces
of
people
and
plentie
;
for
as
the
Natural
body
when
it
is
too
repleat
must
have
some
vent
,
just
so
,
the
Political
,
must
have
some
Evacuations
at
home
or
abroad
when
it
is
too
full
,
and
t'
will
thrive
the
better
upon
't
afterward
.
If
we
cast
our
eyes
upon
the
great
world
we
shall
find
restlesse
motions
,
reluctations
and
combatings
between
the
Elements
;
yet
we
cannot
call
this
any
incongruitie
or
disorder
in
the
frame
of
things
,
but
it
tends
to
the
conservation
of
the
whole
,
and
may
be
said
to
keep
Nature
herself
in
action
and
health
;
That
the
Earth
trembleth
,
the
Sea
tumbleth
,
that
the
Aire
is
alwayes
in
agitation
,
that
't
is
rent
with
thunder
,
coruscations
,
and
other
Meteorological
impressions
;
that
all
the
Elements
are
in
an
incessant
feud
,
it
is
for
the
Vniversal
good
,
and
to
keep
things
vigorous
,
and
fresh
;
So
in
Man
who
is
the
microcosm
,
the
little
world
,
and
made
up
of
elements
,
there
be
passions
and
humors
which
are
in
perpetuall
reluctance
within
him
,
and
so
break
out
into
tumults
,
preliations
,
and
war
;
And
where
this
war
is
well
grounded
,
't
is
wholsom
,
and
the
victories
that
are
acquir'd
thereby
,
are
Decreta
Caeli
,
the
Decrees
of
Heaven
,
but
in
an
ill
grounded
war
they
are
no
other
then
Faelicia
Scelera
,
fortunat
villanies
:
Moreover
,
to
transcend
the
Elements
,
if
we
mark
the
course
of
the
heavenly
bodies
themselfs
,
there
are
crosse
motions
amongst
them
,
they
are
in
perpetuall
revolutions
and
circumgyrations
,
nay
,
there
are
branlings
and
trepidations
amongst
them
,
(
which
yet
the
wisest
of
Philosophers
held
to
be
no
other
then
an
harmonious
sound
,
and
sweet
regular
symphony
,
)
And
as
the
gran
Vnivers
runs
thus
alwayes
round
,
and
carryeth
all
bodies
after
it
;
So
Man
,
who
is
part
or
rather
the
Epitome
thereof
,
specially
in
reference
to
his
actions
,
may
be
said
to
dance
in
a
circle
;
For
there
is
not
any
thing
now
acted
,
but
may
be
parallell'd
,
and
exemplified
by
some
Age
or
other
.
Therefore
among
other
excellent
fruits
of
Story
this
is
none
of
the
least
,
to
put
one
off
,
from
wondring
at
any
thing
,
because
he
meets
with
precedents
and
patterns
of
all
sorts
in
former
times
;
He
that
wil
observe
how
some
of
the
great
Roman
Emperors
were
content
to
live
in
Capreae
(
a
petty
Island
)
how
the
Princes
of
Italy
fled
to
the
Lakes
of
Venice
for
safetie
,
how
some
of
our
Kings
to
the
Isle
of
Man
,
how
Charles
the
seventh
had
no
other
town
to
keep
his
Court
in
but
Bourges
in
Berry
,
one
of
the
smallest
Provinces
in
all
France
,
which
made
him
call'd
a
good
while
King
of
Berry
;
with
a
world
of
such
examples
,
will
nothing
wonder
that
your
Highnes
keeps
his
Court
now
at
Iersey
.
Nor
is
this
present
Story
a
plain
down-right
confus'd
narration
of
things
,
for
to
compile
such
a
work
,
is
as
easie
as
to
make
fagots
,
or
to
trusse
up
a
bundle
of
straw
;
but
(
besides
other
observations
and
excursions
)
that
which
the
Author
chiefly
aymes
at
,
is
to
make
the
method
of
providence
in
dispensing
judgements
,
and
to
make
a
research
of
the
causes
of
them
de
longue
main
,
for
they
seldom
come
immediatly
one
upon
another
,
but
many
yeers
,
and
sometimes
a
whole
age
intervenes
between
the
judgement
and
the
cause
.
Furthermore
,
I
have
bin
carefull
in
this
Story
to
vindicat
England
touching
the
circumstance
of
some
traverses
of
State
and
War
,
twixt
Her
and
France
,
during
this
Kings
Raign
,
which
are
misreported
by
the
French
Chroniclers
:
there
will
be
other
censures
found
here
besides
,
but
this
I
have
done
as
he
that
kill'd
the
Serpent
upon
the
childs
head
without
touching
his
body
.
It
remains
,
that
I
implore
your
Highne's
pardon
not
for
the
subject
of
this
work
,
because
't
is
rich
and
royal
,
but
for
the
forme
thereof
,
if
it
be
not
found
adaequat
to
the
height
of
the
matter
,
according
to
the
desires
and
endeavours
of
Your
Highne's
most
obedient
most
loyal
and
most
humble
servant

I.
H.
OF
THE
LATE
FRENCH
King
and
his
CARDINALL
.
The
Proem
.
I
Attempt
the
life
of
a
potent
King
,
with
the
sway
of
a
prodigious
Favorite
,
for
there
are
prodigies
in
Fortune
as
well
as
in
Nature
;
If
the
exploits
of
the
one
,
and
the
policies
of
the
other
were
cast
into
counterballance
,
I
know
not
which
of
the
scales
would
outpoise
:
Both
of
them
have
got
high
seats
in
the
Temple
of
Immortalitie
,
and
registred
their
names
(
though
in
deepe
sanguine
characters
I
confesse
)
in
the
great
booke
of
Fame
.
Concerning
the
first
,
As
I
disdaine
to
be
a
Parasite
to
my
owne
Prince
in
any
sordid
way
of
flatterie
,
much
more
to
a
forreiner
(
though
living
;
)
so
I
shall
be
very
carefull
not
to
detract
any
thing
from
the
honour
of
this
great
Prince
,
who
had
inhaerencies
enough
,
and
realities
of
his
owne
,
without
need
of
any
forc'd
encomiums
,
or
flourishes
of
art
to
render
him
glorious
:
And
had
the
strength
of
naturall
parts
,
and
gift
of
expression
been
answerable
to
the
successe
and
bravery
of
his
outward
actions
;
had
his
(
theoricall
)
knowledge
of
vertue
been
equall
to
his
ignorance
of
vice
,
he
had
been
a
miracle
among
Monarks
.
For
the
second
(
his
plenipotentiary
minister
)
had
he
been
as
active
for
the
universall
good
and
incolumitie
of
Christendome
,
as
he
was
for
the
interests
and
safety
of
his
owne
Countrey
:
Or
had
he
been
of
another
coat
,
and
in
lieu
of
being
a
Priest
,
Bishop
and
Cardinal
;
had
he
been
Knight
,
Baron
and
Marshall
,
it
had
put
a
farre
clearer
lustre
(
though
with
lesse
noise
)
upon
his
abilities
,
which
were
not
common
;
And
he
had
the
opportunity
and
advantage
to
shew
them
upon
so
high
and
open
a
theatre
,
that
he
made
the
whole
Europaean
world
his
Spectator
:
Indeed
a
sword
hangs
not
handsomly
by
a
Churchmans
side
,
and
a
morrion
upon
a
mitre
shewes
ill-favouredly
:
But
me
thinks
I
heare
this
martiall
Prelate
passe
it
over
,
as
Pope
Iulius
the
second
did
upon
like
occasion
,
who
having
had
a
long
feud
with
the
Emperour
Frederick
(
against
whom
he
had
fought
twelve
battels
)
and
being
one
day
gently
admonish'd
by
the
Archbishop
of
Ostia
who
had
consecrated
him
(
and
whose
peculiar
jurisdiction
it
is
to
consecrate
all
Popes
)
how
S.
Peter
his
first
predecessor
was
commanded
to
put
up
his
sword
,
T'
is
true
said
Iulius
,
Our
Saviour
gave
the
prime
Apostle
such
a
command
,
but
t'
was
after
he
had
given
the
blow
,
and
cut
off
Malchus
eare
.
So
this
adventrous
Cardinall
got
out
his
Masters
sword
to
cut
off
the
excrescencies
,
and
to
loppe
the
luxuriant
boughes
of
that
broad-spreading
Austrian
Tree
,
fearing
they
would
extend
and
shoot
out
into
France
;
As
also
to
clip
the
wings
of
the
Imperiall
Eagle
,
who
was
in
a
faire
way
to
recover
some
of
his
old
feathers
,
I
meane
those
Hansiatick
and
other
free
Townes
in
Germanie
,
who
had
emancipated
themselves
time
out
of
minde
for
money
,
and
by
other
meanes
from
the
Empire
:
But
having
not
finish'd
the
worke
,
Both
of
them
have
left
the
weapon
still
unsheath'd
,
and
dropping
pittifully
with
Christian
blood
,
and
Heaven
onely
knowes
,
when
it
will
be
put
up
againe
.
Now
to
proceede
more
regularly
in
my
intended
storie
,
I
will
begin
with
the
Monarch
,
and
then
fall
upon
the
Minister
,
it
being
consentaneous
to
reason
,
and
congruous
to
good
manners
,
that
the
Master
should
have
prioritie
of
the
Servant
,
though
I
am
not
ignorant
how
some
mercenary
Chroniclers
would
hoise
the
Cap
above
the
Crowne
;
They
seeme
to
attribute
the
successe
and
glorie
of
things
more
to
the
Minister
,
praising
him
with
greater
industry
and
heat
;
They
would
cut
his
name
in
marble
,
and
his
Masters
but
in
freestone
:
By
a
new
Astronomy
they
make
such
a
Constellation
of
him
as
should
give
a
greater
lustre
in
the
French
firmament
,
then
the
Sunne
from
whence
he
had
deriv'd
all
his
light
:
Others
goe
further
,
and
seeme
to
idolatrize
him
,
by
calling
him
the
good
Genius
and
tutelar
Angel
of
his
Countrey
,
and
that
he
was
as
necessarie
for
the
government
of
France
,
as
God
Almighty
was
for
the
universe
:
Nay
some
soare
higher
,
and
by
monstrous
parasiticall
reaches
of
prophanenes
would
make
the
world
believe
that
the
Almightie
had
imparted
unto
him
some
of
his
own
peculiar
attributes
,
as
to
make
him
omniscious
,
cardiognostick
,
and
to
worke
without
the
concurrence
of
second
causes
;
which
made
one
futilous
pamphleter
fall
into
an
egregious
bull
,
while
scruing
up
his
wit
to
hoise
him
aloft
,
he
call'd
Him
the
fourth
person
in
the
Trinitie
.
Such
Scriblers
as
these
are
a
more
sordide
sort
of
Flatterers
,
then
those
we
read
of
,
who
lick'd
up
Dionysius
his
spittle
,
and
in
my
judgement
are
a
scandall
to
the
noble
French
nation
;
besides
,
they
rather
eclipse
then
illustrate
his
worth
;
for
his
very
enemies
confesse
,
that
his
merit
had
matter
enough
for
modestie
her selfe
to
work
upon
without
such
ridiculous
hyperbolies
,
and
forc'd
transcendencies
;
For
Vertue
(
whereof
there
shin'd
in
him
many
eminent
pieces
)
is
of
her selfe
so
amiable
and
powerfull
,
that
shee
attracts
all
eyes
upon
her
,
and
extorts
praise
and
admiration
from
foe
as
well
as
friend
.
The
truth
is
,
that
all
those
yeares
this
great
minister
sate
at
the
helm
,
may
be
term'd
a
time
of
miracles
,
by
that
prodigious
course
of
constant
successe
matters
had
abroad
and
at
home
,
as
if
he
had
struck
a
nail
in
Fortunes
wheele
,
that
shee
should
not
turne
all
the
while
.
Yet
let
me
tell
you
,
there
wanted
not
those
that
writ
as
satyrically
of
him
,
as
others
did
sycophantically
,
as
will
appeare
in
his
life
;
for
though
his
habit
was
in
grain
,
yet
there
were
many
foul
spots
cast
upon
it
,
insomuch
that
the
Spaniard
,
with
other
nations
,
thought
it
would
never
be
fit
to
make
reliques
of
,
because
it
was
so
deeply
drencht
in
blood
;
Nay
some
of
his
owne
Countreymen
,
specially
the
poore
face-grounded
Peasan
,
doe
much
doubt
whether
he
that
was
so
much
deified
upon
earth
,
will
ever
be
a
Saint
in
Heaven
.
But
now
to
the
maine
designe
the
life
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
,
and
to
take
him
in
all
his
proportions
we
will
go
first
to
his
cradle
,
and
begin
with
his
nativitie
and
Dauphinage
;
Then
we
will
on
to
his
minoritie
or
bassage
;
and
thence
to
his
majoritie
and
raigne
,
and
so
our
storie
shall
grow
up
with
him
in
dimensions
and
yeares
.
Of
his
Nativitie
and
Dauphinage
.
LEwis
the
thirteenth
(
second
French
King
of
the
Bourbon
line
)
had
for
his
father
Henry
the
great
,
and
the
great
Duke
of
Toscanies
daughter
for
his
mother
;
The
first
we
know
was
sent
out
of
the
world
by
Ravaillac
,
the
second
by
Richelieu
,
as
some
out
of
excesse
of
passion
doe
suggest
:
For
this
great
Queene
having
conceived
a
deep
displeasure
,
and
animositie
against
him
,
and
not
liking
his
counsels
,
and
course
of
policy
to
put
quarrels
,
and
kindle
a
war
betwixt
her
children
,
in
a
high
discontentment
she
abandon'd
France
,
and
so
drew
a
banishment
upon
her selfe
,
which
expos'd
her
to
divers
encumbrances
,
removes
and
residences
abroad
,
and
this
some
thinke
accelerated
her
end
:
For
great
spirits
have
this
of
fastnesse
and
constancie
in
them
,
that
where
their
indignation
is
once
fixed
,
for
having
their
counsels
cross'd
,
their
authoritie
lessen'd
,
and
the
motions
of
their
soules
resisted
,
they
come
ofttimes
to
breake
,
rather
then
bow
:
As
we
see
the
huge
Cedars
,
who
,
scorning
to
comply
,
with
the
windes
and
stormes
,
fall
more
frequently
,
then
the
Willow
and
poore
plying
Osier
,
who
yeeld
and
crouch
to
every
puffe
.
But
to
our
chiefe
taske
.
When
the
sixteenth
Christian
centurie
went
out
,
Lewis
the
thir
teenth
came
into
the
world
,
and
he
began
the
seventeenth
,
being
borne
in
the
yeere
sixteene
hundred
and
one
,
about
the
Antumnall
Equinoctiall
,
which
was
held
to
be
a
good
presage
,
that
he
would
prove
a
good
Iusticer
:
The
Queene
had
a
hard
delivery
,
her
body
having
beene
distemper'd
by
eating
of
fruit
too
freely
,
so
that
when
the
Midwife
brought
him
forth
to
the
King
,
and
to
the
Princes
of
the
blood
in
the
next
roome
,
who
,
according
to
the
custome
of
France
,
use
to
be
present
for
preventing
of
foule
play
for
an
Heire
apparant
of
the
Crown
,
his
tender
body
was
become
black
and
blue
with
roughnesse
of
handling
,
and
the
Midwife
thinking
to
have
spouted
some
wine
out
of
her
mouth
into
his
,
the
King
tooke
the
bottle
himselfe
,
and
put
it
to
the
Dauphins
lips
,
which
reviv'd
his
spirits
.
His
publique
Baptisme
was
not
celebrated
till
five
yeers
after
at
Fontainebleau
because
the
plague
was
in
Paris
,
and
the
solemnitie
was
greater
in
preparation
and
expectance
,
then
it
was
in
performance
.
The
King
would
have
had
him
nam'd
Charles
,
but
the
Mother
over-rul'd
,
and
gave
the
law
in
that
point
,
and
would
have
him
called
Lewis
.
Paul
the
fifth
was
his
godfather
notwithstanding
that
the
Spanish
faction
did
predominate
in
the
Conclave
at
his
election
,
which
happen'd
about
the
time
the
Dauphin
was
borne
:
And
the
French
Ambassadour
then
at
Rome
meeting
with
the
Spanish
,
at
Saint
Angelo
,
and
telling
him
Ilmio
Rè
há
fatto
un
maschio
,
my
King
hath
made
a
sonne
:
The
Spanish
Ambassadour
answer'd
,
&
il
mio
Rè
há
fatto
un
Papa
,
and
my
King
hath
made
a
Pope
.
It
seemes
that
Mercury
the
father
of
eloquution
,
and
who
hath
the
powerfullest
influence
ore
the
tongue
,
was
oppressed
by
a
disadvantagious
conjunction
with
a
more
praedominate
planet
at
his
Birth
,
which
appear'd
by
that
naturall
slownesse
he
had
in
his
speech
,
as
Lewis
the
sixt
his
predecessor
(
and
last
Emperour
of
the
six
French
Kings
)
had
.
But
a
rare
thing
it
was
,
and
not
to
be
paralleld
in
any
age
,
that
two
of
the
greatest
Kings
of
Europe
,
I
meane
the
Dauphin
we
now
write
of
,
and
His
Majesty
of
England
now
regnant
,
should
come
both
into
the
world
within
lesse
then
ten
moneths
compasse
,
the
one
in
November
,
the
other
in
September
next
following
;
I
say
a
most
rare
thing
it
was
that
it
should
so
fall
out
,
that
as
they
were
contemporaries
in
yeares
and
raigne
,
the
same
kinde
of
utterance
should
be
coincident
and
connaturall
to
them
both
,
though
the
haesitation
be
lesse
in
Him
of
November
:
Besides
,
it
seemes
he
is
richly
requited
with
the
advantage
of
an
incomparable
imperious
pen
,
wherein
nature
joyning
hand
with
Art
,
hath
made
him
so
rich
a
compensation
,
that
he
may
well
claime
the
palme
of
all
his
progenitors
.
But
now
againe
to
our
Infant
Dauphin
,
which
the
English
with
other
call
Dolphin
commonly
,
but
very
corruptly
;
for
't
is
not
from
a
fish
,
but
a
faire
Province
that
he
derives
this
appellation
the
very
instant
he
comes
into
the
world
;
the
ground
whereof
was
this
.
Humbert
last
Dauphin
of
Viennois
having
lost
his
eldest
sonne
in
that
famous
battaile
of
Crecy
against
the
English
,
and
his
tother
sonne
having
died
of
a
fall
from
betwixt
the
Fathers
armes
as
he
was
dallying
with
him
;
The
said
Humbert
being
oppressed
by
the
Duke
of
Savoy
and
others
,
transmitted
and
bequeathed
as
free
gift
the
brave
Province
of
Dauphinè
unto
Philip
of
Valois
then
King
of
France
,
with
this
proviso
that
his
eldest
sonne
(
and
so
of
all
successive
Kings
)
should
beare
the
title
of
Dauphin
to
perpetuity
during
their
fathers
lifes
,
holding
it
,
as
he
did
and
his
progenitors
had
done
,
in
fee
of
the
Empire
.
This
was
the
sixteenth
Dauphin
since
the
first
,
who
was
Charles
the
wise
in
the
yeare
1349.
whereby
I
observe
that
the
precedent
title
of
the
presomptif
Heire
of
the
Crowne
of
France
,
is
not
so
ancient
by
halfe
a
hundred
of
yeares
,
as
the
title
of
Prince
of
Wales
to
the
Heire
apparant
of
England
,
which
begun
in
Edward
the
firsts
time
,
who
conferred
that
honour
upon
his
sonne
Edward
of
Caernarvon
1301.
But
this
title
of
Dauphin
seemes
to
have
a
greater
analogie
with
the
Dukedome
of
Cornwall
,
which
title
was
confer'd
first
upon
the
black
Prince
,
because
this
as
that
of
Dauphin
needes
no
creation
,
for
ipsissimo
instante
,
the
very
moment
that
any
of
the
King
of
Englands
sons
come
to
be
Heire
apparant
of
the
Crowne
,
he
is
to
have
liverie
and
seisin
given
him
of
the
Dutchy
of
Cornwall
,
with
all
the
honours
and
lands
annexed
for
his
present
support
.
Touching
those
publike
passages
of
State
that
happened
during
the
Dauphinage
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
,
while
Henry
the
fourth
lived
,
we
will
nor
meddle
with
them
,
because
we
would
not
confound
the
actions
of
the
father
with
those
of
the
sonne
;
He
was
educated
with
that
speciall
care
and
circumspection
wherewith
the
Dauphins
of
France
are
wont
to
be
bred
,
as
also
with
that
freedome
from
overmuch
awe
,
and
apprehensions
of
feare
,
which
is
observed
in
the
French
breeding
generally
,
because
the
spirits
may
not
be
suppressed
and
cowd
while
they
are
ductible
and
young
,
and
apt
to
take
any
impression
:
He
was
not
much
taken
with
his
booke
,
nor
any
sedentary
exercise
,
but
with
pastimes
abroad
,
as
shooting
at
flyes
and
small
hedge
birds
,
to
which
end
his
Father
put
to
him
Luynes
who
had
many
complacentious
devices
to
fit
his
humour
that
way
,
for
which
petty
volatill
sports
he
soard
at
last
to
the
highest
pitch
of
honour
that
a
French
subject
could
flie
unto
,
for
of
a
gentleman
in
decimo
sexto
,
he
was
made
Duke
,
Peer
,
and
Lord
high
Constable
of
all
France
;
But
he
had
the
advantage
to
have
the
managing
of
his
masters
affection
while
it
was
green
and
pllable
,
and
he
did
it
with
such
dexterity
,
that
those
stamps
which
he
made
upon
it
then
,
continued
firme
and
fresh
to
the
last
,
as
will
appeare
hereafter
.
And
now
must
we
passe
from
his
Dauphinage
to
his
minoritie
,
his
Father
being
now
defunct
;
And
t
is
a
sad
tale
to
relate
the
manner
how
his
Father
was
forcd
out
of
the
world
,
but
told
it
must
be
,
because
it
is
a
necessary
appendix
to
our
storie
.
There
was
gentle
calm
through
all
Christendome
,
and
France
had
not
the
least
share
of
it
,
having
continued
twenty
yeares
together
in
a
constant
repose
without
the
least
tintamar
or
motion
of
arms
(
a
rare
thing
amongst
so
spritefull
and
quicksilverd
people
to
whom
peace
becomes
a
surfet
any
longer
then
they
have
pickt
up
their
crumbs
for
a
new
warre
)
I
say
there
was
a
catholick
peace
throughout
Europe
,
when
Henry
the
fourth
of
France
would
needs
get
a
horseback
upon
a
great
martiall
designe
,
which
was
a
mysterie
for
the
time
,
for
all
men
stood
at
a
maze
what
he
meant
,
the
businesse
was
carried
so
closely
;
whereupon
he
raiseth
a
potent
Armie
of
horse
and
foot
.
But
behold
the
greatest
example
of
the
lubricity
and
instablenes
of
mundane
affaires
,
and
of
the
sandie
foundation
whereon
the
highest
pomp
and
purposes
of
men
are
grounded
,
that
any
age
can
parallell
;
For
this
great
King
,
as
I
told
a
little
before
,
having
a
most
potent
and
irresistible
armie
compos'd
of
40000.
combatants
,
all
choise
men
,
led
by
veteran
Commanders
,
and
the
most
expert
Europe
could
affoord
,
in
a
perfect
equipage
;
Having
also
a
mount
of
gold
as
high
as
a
lance
estimated
at
sixteene
millions
to
maintaine
this
armie
;
Having
assured
his
Confederates
abroad
,
settled
all
things
at
home
,
causd
his
Queene
to
be
crownd
in
the
highest
magnificence
that
could
be
,
and
appointed
her
Regent
in
his
absence
,
behold
this
mighty
King
amongst
these
triumphs
of
his
Queens
,
being
to
go
next
day
to
his
armie
,
when
his
spirits
were
at
the
highest
elevation
,
and
his
heart
swelling
with
assurances
rather
then
hopes
of
successe
and
glory
,
going
one
afternoone
to
his
Arsenal
,
he
was
stopd
in
a
small
street
,
by
so
contemptible
a
thing
as
a
colliers
cart
,
and
there
from
amongst
the
armes
of
his
owne
Nobles
,
he
was
thrust
out
of
the
world
by
one
of
the
meanest
of
his
owne
vassals
,
who
with
a
prodigious
hardinesse
putting
his
foot
upon
the
coach
wheeles
,
reachd
him
over
the
shoulders
of
one
of
his
greatest
Lords
,
and
stabd
him
to
the
very
heart
,
and
with
a
monstrous
undauntednesse
of
resolution
making
good
his
first
stab
with
a
second
,
dispatchd
him
suddenly
from
off
the
earth
,
as
if
a
mouse
had
strangled
an
elephant
.
—
Sic
parvis
pereunt
ingentia
rebus
.
The
French
stories
speake
of
divers
auguries
and
predictions
of
his
death
;
But
I
will
insert
here
a
passage
or
two
that
are
not
found
in
any
printed
Author
,
therefore
not
vulgar
,
and
our
intent
is
to
refrain
from
stuffing
this
piece
with
any
thing
that
hath
bin
too
much
blown
upon
;
The
first
is
a
prophecie
in
an
Italian
manuscript
from
a
good
hand
,
written
above
an
hundred
yeares
since
,
which
runnes
thus
.
Vn
gran
Ré
di
Francia
havendo
le
spalle
al
Papa
voltate
,
s'inchinera
poi
a
Roma
,
&
al
piu
alto
della
sua
'
gloria
Li
taglierá
la
vita
,
Vn
coltel
feroce
,
Che
n'andará
la
voce
Per
tutto'l
mundo
.
Thus
rendred
into
English
.
A
great
French
King
,
having
his
face
Turn'd
from
the
Pope
,
shall
then
embrace
The
Roman
Faith
,
but
after
,
He
At
highest
pitch
of
Majesty
Shall
by
a
fatall
knife
be
rent
,
To
all
the
worlds
astonishment
.
To
this
may
be
added
the
speech
of
Francisco
Corvini
a
Toscan
Astrologer
,
who
the
night
before
Henry
the
fourth
was
slaine
leaning
upon
a
Balcon
in
Florence
,
which
is
neer
upon
600.
miles
from
Paris
,
and
prying
into
the
motions
of
the
starres
,
he
suddenly
broke
out
of
his
speculation
into
these
words
;
Tomorrow
one
of
the
greatest
Monarchs
of
Christendome
will
be
slaine
;
And
the
very
next
day
the
mortall
stab
was
given
by
Ravaillac
,
who
had
been
seen
often
a
little
before
at
Brussels
,
and
was
observd
to
have
frequent
accesse
,
and
much
privacie
with
Marquis
Spinola
,
which
many
wondred
at
being
so
plaine
a
man
;
A
melancholy
odde
Humorist
he
was
,
one
who
had
at
times
some
flashes
of
illuminations
,
as
his
friends
gave
out
:
Now
,
such
is
the
strength
of
imagination
,
and
force
of
fancie
,
that
having
let
in
false
ideas
into
the
braine
,
and
being
fomented
by
some
fatuous
zeale
,
it
hurles
a
man
headlong
oftentimes
upon
desperate
attempts
,
and
undertakings
of
inevitable
danger
,
making
him
misprize
his
owne
life
,
so
that
he
may
be
master
of
anothers
,
especially
when
the
enterprize
is
heated
with
hope
of
fame
,
revenge
,
or
merit
.
Thus
fell
one
of
the
compleatest
Kings
under
which
the
flower
de
luces
ever
flourishd
,
a
sprightfull
and
well
tempred
Prince
,
excellently
versd
in
the
studie
of
men
,
alwayes
well
disposd
,
pleasant
and
wittie
,
close
in
his
counsels
,
and
constant
in
his
purposes
,
parsimonious
,
yet
open
handed
to
Cadets
whom
he
lovd
to
see
about
him
rather
then
elder
brothers
whom
nature
had
already
advanced
.
And
lastly
(
though
this
be
but
a
quarter
character
of
him
)
a
great
discerner
and
rewarder
of
worth
and
vertue
,
a
brave
qualitie
and
one
of
the
prime
requisits
in
a
King
;
for
subjects
are
industrious
,
or
dissolute
,
they
aspire
to
vertue
and
good
parts
according
as
their
Prince
hath
judgement
to
distinguish
and
value
their
worth
,
and
so
to
employ
and
advance

The
memory
of
this
King
is
yet
as
fresh
in
France
,
as
if
he
had
been
ta'ne
away
but
yesterday
,
and
his
death
was
resented
abroad
as
well
as
at
home
,
being
universally
honourd
by
all
nations
,
for
the
worst
that
his
very
enemies
reported
of
him
was
,
that
he
was
a
great
Courtier
of
Ladies
,
whereupon
this
petulant
Anagram
was
made
of
him
.
Henricus
Borbonius
.
Hircus
in
orbe

But
take
the
aspiration
away
(
and
with
it
let
the
aspersion
go
)
this
befits
him
better
.

Having
spoken
this
little
of
the
Fathers
death
,
t
is
time
now
to
returne
and
pursue
the
life
of
the
Sonne
,
and
bring
him
to
his
minoritie
;
yet
though
a
Minor
,
he
is
absolute
King
,
He
is
already
regnant
,
though
his
mother
be
Regent
:
And
in
regard

is
a
mighty
advantage
to
memorie
,
and
that

Logician

Rule

A
good
Divider
makes
a
good
Disciple
:
we
will
make
a
quinquenniall
partition
of
his
raigne
,
we
will
divide
it
to
so
many
lustres
of
yeares
,
and
in

his
minoritie
shall
be
included

firmament
,
yet
no
night
ensued
,
for
another
suddenly
riseth
up
,
and
shoots
his
rayes
through
every
corner
of
that
part
of
the
hemisphere
,
King
Lewis
the
thirteenth
.
The
season
that
he
began
thus
to
display
his
early
beames
,
being
the
moneth
of
May
,
corresponded
with
the
verdant
time
of
his
age
,
being
not
yet
full
nine
yeares
old
,
so
he
was
cradled
first
in
the
Fall
,
and
came
to
the
crowne
in
the
Spring
.
The
report
of
the
monstrous
parricide
committed
on
the
person
of
Henry
the
fourth
did
penetrate
all
hearts
,
and
made
a
strange
kinde
of
consternation
to
seise
upon
the
minds
of
men
,
though
it
was
no
new
thing
in
France
to
have
their
King
torn
away
from
them
so
,
for
it
was
fresh
in
the
memorie
of
many
thousands
how
two
and
twentie
yeares
before
Henry
the
third
was
dispatchd
in
that
manner
,
though
the
Assassin
found
his
tombe
in
the
very
place
where
he
did
perpetrate
the
fact
.
The
Court
of
Parliament
suddenly
met
that
afternoon
and
declared
Dame
Mary
de
Medici
Queene
Regent
,
which
was
the
next
day
confirmed
by
the
young
King
himselfe
sitting
on
the
bed
of
Iustice
;
This
was
done
without
any
opposition
or
scruple
at
all
,
for
Anno
1610.
King
Henry
had
designd
her
for
Regent
before
,
during
his
absence
in
the
warres
,
and
the
reverence
that
all
had
to
the
judgement
of
so
wise
and
welbelovd
a
King
advantagd
the
worke
,
with
a
favourable
conjuncture
of
some
other
circumstances
,
for
both
the
Princes
of
the
blood
were
then
absent
,
the
Count
of
Soissons
was
farre
up
in
the
Countrey
where
he
had
retird
not
without
some
discontentments
;
The
Prince
of
Conde
was
in
Italy
,
to
whom
an
expresse
was
suddenly
sent
,
but
the
Count
of
Fuentes
then
Governour
of
Milan
had
given
him
the
newes
before
of
King
Henries
death
,
and
as
some
say
,
labourd
to
infuse
into
him
some
aspiring
thoughts
for
the
Protectorship
,
and
so
to
embroyle
France
,
which
tooke
no
effect
;
There
were
also
two
great
armies
afoote
,
one
under
L'esdigueres
in
Dauphine
,
the
other
under
the
command
of
the
Duke
de
Nevers
in
Champany
,
ready
to
suppresse
any
insurrection
.
The
Queen
mother
being
thus
establishd
in
her
Regency
,
shee
put
three
things
in
present
consultation
:
-
1.
The
securitie
of
the
Kingdome
.
-
2.
A
satisfaction
to
Iustice
for
the
Assassinat
.
-
3.
The
obsequies
of
the
dead
King
.
For
the
first
,
it
was
thought
fitting
to
re-publish
the
Edict
of
Nants
in
favour
of
them
of
the
Religion
.
And
now
the
Author
craves
leave
to
give
this
advertisement
by
the
way
,
that
though
his
intent
be
to
draw
(
as
well
as
he
can
)
the
Acts
of
this
King
to
the
life
,
yet
the
Reader
must
not
expect
to
have
them
here
in
their
full
length
,
and
in
all
their
dimensions
;
He
must
not
thinke
to
finde
Edicts
,
Declarations
,
Articles
of
Treaties
,
Letters
and
such
like
in
their
entire
bodies
here
,
He
leaves
that
to
the
French
Chroniclers
,
such
publike
exemplarie
precedents
being
more
proper
and
usefull
to
the
people
who
live
under
that
government
,
yet
,
care
will
be
had
to
insert
here
the
substance
of
all
such
acts
,
and
not
to
pretermit
any
thing
that
is
materiall
,
and
conducing
to
the
exactnesse
of
the
storie
.
The
first
act
of
State
,
as
I
said
before
,
was
the
reviving
of
the
Edict
of
Nants
to
content
them
of
the
Religion
,
who
after
the
King
are
the
powerfullest
bodie
in
France
,
having
so
many
strong
presidiarie
townes
for
their
securitie
,
insomuch
that
they
may
be
said
to
be
a
kinde
of
Republike
in
a
Realme
;
yet
France
receives
this
advantage
of
them
,
that
they
are
a
meanes
to
keepe
the
King
more
narrowly
within
his
bounds
,
and
make
him
more
cautious
in
his
actions
;
They
may
be
said
to
be
like
goats
among
sheepe
whose
smell
keeps
them
from
the
shakings
and
other
diseases
,
so
they
keep
the
regall
power
from
excesses
.
In
the
Declaration
wherein
the
foresaid
Edict
was
incorporated
,
there
was
also
some
clauses
of
compliance
that
reflected
upon
the
Citie
of
Paris
,
which
was
also
to
be
pleasd
:
Then
the
Princes
of
the
blood
were
invited
,
and
expresses
sent
for
them
to
come
to
the
Court
,
Governours
of
provinces
were
permitted
to
remain
still
in
their
commands
,
and
divers
other
acts
of
compliances
and
policie
Anno
1610.
pass'd
,
for
prevention
of
discontentments
,
and
insurrection
.
Concerning
the
second
which
was
a
satisfaction
to
Iustice
,
and
how
Ravaillac
should
be
offer'd
up
as
a
victim
to
her
,
much
paines
were
taken
;
At
his
first
examination
they
would
have
perswaded
him
that
the
King
was
not
dead
but
like
to
recover
,
whereat
he
smil'd
saying
,
that
he
knew
well
enough
the
worke
was
done
,
for
t'
was
not
he
,
but
the
hand
of
heaven
that
had
don
't
;
Then
being
ask'd
how
he
durst
embrue
his
hands
in
the
bloud
of
Gods
anointed
,
the
most
Christian
King
,
and
his
Soverain
naturall
Prince
;
at
the
word
most
Christian
he
smild
again
in
a
sleighting
manner
:
Being
search'd
there
was
found
about
him
a
paire
of
beads
,
and
a
heart
made
of
cotton
with
a
piece
of
wood
in
't
,
which
he
was
made
to
beleeve
was
a
part
of
that
very
crosse
whereon
Christ
suffer'd
.
All
meanes
imaginable
were
essayed
to
make
him
discover
if
he
had
had
any
instigators
or
complices
in
this
infandous
plot
;
but
he
still
answerd
positively
,
and
constantly
he
had
none
at
all
,
saying
,
he
durst
never
speake
of
it
to
his
Confessor
for
feare
of
discovery
,
for
so
he
might
have
bin
punish'd
for
the
will
,
without
the
deed
;
yet
a
Iesuite
and
a
Cordelier
who
were
his
ghostly
fathers
were
strictly
examin'd
,
but
nothing
could
be
had
out
of
them
;
Hereupon
there
rose
a
nice
question
amongst
the
Divines
,
whether
the
Priest
be
bound
to
reveale
the
confession
of
his
penitent
,
but
't
was
onely
propounded
and
so
left
problematicall
and
indecided
for
that
time
.
Every
one
did
whet
his
invention
to
devise
some
exquisite
lasting
torment
for
Ravaillac
;
The
Butchers
of
Paris
,
who
are
habituated
in
bloud
,
propos'd
a
way
to
flay
him
,
and
the
torture
of
excoriation
should
continue
three
daies
;
Others
gave
the
draught
of
an
instrument
in
form
of
an
Obelisk
where
he
might
be
press'd
,
and
the
torment
should
last
a
long
time
;
Others
found
out
a
way
to
have
his
body
cut
quite
off
,
from
his
hips
downward
,
and
his
bowels
to
be
clap'd
presently
upon
a
hot
yron
plank
,
which
should
preserve
the
other
halfe
of
the
body
in
pangs
of
agonie
a
long
while
:
But
the
court
of
Justice
thought
it
not
fit
to
invent
,
or
inflict
any
other
punishment
upon
him
but
what
the
lawes
allowed
;
therefore
he
was
condemn'd
to
be
carried
in
a
tombrell
naked
in
his
shirt
with
a
flaming
torch
of
two
pound
weight
in
his
hand
to
the
common
place
of
execution
,
where
holding
the
knife
wherewith
he
had
perpetrated
that
most
abominable
parricide
,
his
hand
should
be
first
pierc'd
with
the
said
knife
,
and
so
to
be
burn'd
with
fire
of
sulphur
upon
the
stage
:
That
he
should
have
buskins
fill'd
with
boyling
oile
applyed
to
him
,
That
he
should
be
pincer'd
in
the
paps
,
thighes
and
braun
of
the
legs
,
and
that
boyling
lead
should
be
powr'd
into
the
one
,
burning
rozin
into
the
other
,
and
wax
melted
with
sulphur
into
the
third
;
That
his
body
should
be
torn
afterwards
by
horses
,
all
his
members
burn'd
,
reduc'd
to
cinders
,
and
thrown
into
the
aire
;
That
the
House
where
he
was
borne
in
Angoulesme
should
be
raz'd
to
the
ground
,
and
that
none
presume
to
build
upon
that
piece
of
earth
;
That
within
fifteene
daies
after
the
publication
of
this
sentence
,
his
father
and
mother
should
quit
the
kingdome
,
Anno
1610.
and
never
return
;
that
his
brothers
,
sisters
,
uncles
and
others
should
never
afterwards
beare
the
name
of
Ravaillac
under
paine
of
being
hang'd
and
strangled
.
This
dismall
sentence
was
executed
to
the
very
height
of
torture
,
and
extended
to
the
utmost
length
of
time
,
affection
of
sense
,
and
possibilitie
of
nature
,
for
there
were
waies
invented
to
keepe
him
from
syncops
and
fits
of
swounding
:
Before
,
at
the
beginning
,
and
in
the
midst
of
all
his
torments
there
could
be
no
other
confession
extorted
out
of
him
,
though
he
was
sifted
with
all
the
sagacitie
that
could
be
,
but
that
the
motives
which
impell'd
him
to
such
a
desperate
attempt
,
were
certaine
revelations
,
that
he
saied
he
had
had
,
which
he
afterwards
call'd
tentations
,
And
that
he
thought
he
should
do
a
work
acceptable
to
God
,
to
take
away
a
King
that
was
a
Favourer
of
Heretiques
,
who
went
about
by
the
armie
he
had
then
afoote
to
perturbe
the
peace
of
the
Catholike
church
,
and
make
warre
against
the
Pope
.
The
people
in
generall
did
love
the
deceased
King
so
passionately
,
that
nothing
but
imprecations
and
curses
could
be
heard
ecchoing
from
them
,
so
that
none
did
pray
with
him
when
he
was
upon
the
scaffold
for
the
salvation
of
his
soule
,
and
for
his
body
,
when
it
was
torne
by
the
horses
,
happie
was
he
that
could
get
any
piece
of
it
,
so
that
he
was
burnt
in
more
then
twenty
places
up
and
downe
the
Citie
in
severall
fires
;
so
Nemesis
had
her
glut
.
Ravaillac
being
thus
extinguish'd
,
and
as
it
were
annihilated
,
the
next
care
of
the
Queene
was
to
give
rites
of
buriall
adaequate
to
so
glorious
a
King
.
His
heart
the
Iesuites
had
,
for
he
had
promis'd
them
to
be
depositaries
and
guardiens
of
it
in
his
life
time
,
notwithstanding
that
one
of
their
Societie
had
once
attempted
to
murther
him
;
so
in
extraordinarie
pomp
his
heart
was
carried
to
la
Flecle
,
and
his
bodie
to
Saint
Denis
;
And
Henry
the
third
who
had
layn
all
the
while
at
Compeigne
,
was
sent
for
to
beare
him
companie
;
so
that
as
they
had
the
like
destinie
in
their
death
,
so
they
came
to
take
their
last
lodgings
the
same
time
in
Saint
Denis
,
whither
,
they
say
no
French
King
went
with
his
good
will
.
The
latter
of
the
two
,
whom
we
will
call
hereafter
Henry
the
great
(
that
title
being
entayl'd
upon
him
by
the
universall
suffrage
of
all
)
was
condol'd
with
farre
more
regret
then
the
former
,
and
divers
to
this
houre
weare
a
constant
anniversarie
mourning
for
him
that
day
he
was
kill'd
;
Amongst
others
her
Majestie
of
great
Britain
continueth
it
,
who
was
then
a
cradle-infant
,
and
Barberino
at
that
time
Nuncio
in
France
(
and
after
created
Pope
by
the
name
of
Vrban
the
eighth
)
comming
to
congratulate
her
birth
,
and
finding
that
the
Queen
mother
had
bin
better
pleas'd
if
she
had
borne
a
male
;
He
told
her
,
Madame
,
I
hope
to
see
this
,
though
your
youngest
daughter
a
great
Queene
before
I
die
,
the
Queene
answer'd
,
And
I
hope
to
see
you
Pope
;
both
which
prophetick
complements
prov'd
true
,
and
within
a
short
time
one
of
another
.
A
litle
after
Ravaillac
,
was
burn'd
also
the
great
Spanish
Jesuit
Mariana
,
Anno
1610.
I
mean
his
Book
de
Rege
&
Regis
institutione
,
wherin
he
holds
that
a
Tyrant
or
Hereticall
Prince
may
be
made
away
by
violent
meanes
;
Moreover
by
the
same
arrest
of
Parliament
,
the
Colledg
of
Sorbon
was
commanded
to
publish
their
ancient
Decree
passed
by
one
hundred
fortie
one
Doctors
of
the
sacred
Faculty
of
Theology
in
the
yeer
1413.
which
was
confirm'd
two
yeers
after
by
the
famous
Counsell
of
Constance
,
viz:
That
it
is
not
lawfull
to
any
,
for
what
cause
whatsoever
,
to
attempt
any
thing
upon
the
sacred
persons
of
Kings
,
and
Soverain
Princes
.
Which
doctrin
and
solemn
Decree
was
then
published
to
quell
and
confound
that
execrable
position
which
was
than
dogmatiz'd
,
and
broach'd
up
and
down
,
viz:
That
a
Tyrant
whosoever
he
be
,
may
and
ought
to
be
lawfully
,
and
meritoriously
kill'd
by
his
own
vassall
or
subject
whosoever
he
be
,
and
by
that
any
means
whatsoever
,
principally
by
secret
ambushes
,
treasons
,
flatteries
,
or
other
such
wayes
,
notwithstanding
any
faith
or
oth
whereby
the
subject
is
oblig'd
to
such
a
Tyrant
,
&c.
Which
tenet
being
then
pronounced
pernicious
and
hereticall
,
impious
and
diabolical
by
the
said
Colledg
and
Counsell
,
was
now
also
by
150
choice
Theoloques
of
the
said
Family
adjudg'd
to
be
an
error
against
the
holy
Catholic
faith
,
and
the
fundamentalls
of
morality
,
opening
a
gap
to
rebellion
,
and
atheisme
,
to
a
violation
of
all
bonds
of
humane
obedience
,
and
government
,
and
tended
to
bring
confusion
,
and
a
Hell
upon
Earth
.
The
Iesuits
were
murmur'd
at
,
as
Fautors
of
the
foresaid
opinion
of
Mariana
,
whereupon
Cotton
(
then
Preacher
to
the
King
)
publish'd
a
declaratory
letter
to
vindicat
their
Society
,
and
shew
their
conformity
of
Doctrin
to
the
foresaid
Decree
of
the
Counsell
of
Constance
,
in
which
letter
he
protested
in
the
name
of
the
rest
,
that
,
that
opinion
of
Mariana
was
a
particular
fancy
of
his
own
,
and
so
to
be
restrain'd
to
his
person
only
;
That
it
is
so
disapprov'd
and
exploded
by
their
Society
,
that
some
of
them
have
compil'd
,
and
expos'd
to
the
open
world
sundry
Treatises
in
confutation
of
it
,
and
condem'd
it
in
two
Provinciall
Congregations
held
in
Paris
and
Lion
in
the
yeer
1606.
where
their
Reverend
General
Claudius
Aquariva
was
present
,
and
there
the
Soverain
puissance
,
and
authority
of
Kings
was
acknowledg'd
,
and
in
temporal
matters
to
hold
soly
of
God
himself
;
The
substance
of
Father
Cottons
declatory
Letter
tended
all
to
this
effect
,
though
it
gave
not
so
full
a
satisfaction
to
all
men
.
This
was
that
Cotton
who
was
so
much
favor'd
by
Henry
the
Great
,
which
gave
him
occasion
to
Answer
certain
Deputies
of
Rochel
upon
a
petition
they
once
presented
unto
him
,
That
he
could
not
hear
them
then
,
for
his
eares
were
stopp'd
with
Cotton
,
whereupon
was
made
this
Epigram
of
Him
.
Quand
le
Roy
fait
ses
pas
,
Pere
Cotton
l'accompagne
;
Mais
le
bon
Prince
ne
scait
pas
,
Que
le
fin
Cotton

d'Espagne
.
Thus
English'd
,
When
the
King
abroad
doth
walk
,
Anno
1610.
Father
Cotton
finds
him
talk
,
But
the
good
Prince
doth
not
attain
,
That
the
fine
Cotton
com's
from
Spain
.
The
formidable
Army
which
Henry
the
great
had
rais'd
,
was
now
disbanded
by
command
,
and
only
12000.
kept
still
a
foot
in
Champagny
which
were
reserv'd
to
assist
the
German
Princes
,
who
were
then
in
motion
of
armes
upon
this
occasion
.
William
Duke
of
Iuillers
and
Cleves
being
dead
without
Heir
male
,
the
right
of
succession
was
debated
by
other
Princes
his
allies
;
but
the
Emperour
alledging
that
the
Duchy
of
Iuillers
was
a
fief
moving
of
the
Empire
,
invested
Leopold
his
Cousin
german
in
the
possession
of
it
,
who
by
armed
hand
seizd
upon
the
town
and
castle
of
Iuillers
.
The
opposit
Princes
having
besieg'd
him
there
,
sent
to
France
for
help
:
Hereupon
Marshall
de
la
Chastre
march'd
with
those
12000.
Auxiliaries
,
and
his
conjunction
with
the
other
Princes
was
so
fortunat
that
Iuillers
was
rendred
up
upon
composition
to
the
Duke
of
Newburg
,
and
Marquis
of
Brandenburgh
,
but
with
this
proviso
that
the
Roman
Religion
should
still
have
free
exercise
there
.
This
relief
of
Iuillers
was
the
first
forren
act
that
happen'd
in
the
raign
of
Lewis
the
thirtteenth
,
and
the
expedition
was
intended
before
by
his
father
.
Although
in
successif
hereditary
Kingdomes
(
as
France
and
England
,
where
the
law
sayeth
the
King
never
dieth
)
the
act
of
Coronation
be
not
so
absolutly
necessary
,
as
to
appertain
to
the
essence
of
the
thing
,
yet
hath
it
bin
used
as
a
ceremony
not
superfluous
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
people
.
Hereupon
there
were
great
preparations
made
for
the
crowning
,
and
the
anointing
of
the
young
King
with
the
holy
oyle
,
which
is
kept
alwayes
in
the
town
of
Rheims
in
a
little
vial
;
and
the
French
faith
is
,
That
it
is
part
of
the
same
oyle
wherewith
Clovis
(
who
was
the
first
Christian
King
of
France
converted
by
his
wife
above
1000.
yeers
since
)
was
anointed
,
and
that
a
Dove
brought
down
in
her
beak
the
said
vial
into
the
Church
,
and
so
vanish'd
,
which
oyl
they
say
continues
fresh
and
sweet
,
and
without
diminution
to
this
day
;
The
said
vial
was
once
caried
away
by
the
English
,
but
it
was
recovered
by
the
inhabitants
of
Povilleux
,
for
which
they
enjoy
divers
priviledges
to
this
day
.
This
ceremony
of
Coronation
in
France
is
a
very
solemn
thing
and
continues
above
eight
houres
long
,
without
intermission
.
The
twelve
Peers
are
the
chiefest
Actors
in
it
,
whereof
there
are
six
Spiritual
,
and
six
Temporal
;
the
last
six
have
now
no
being
in
France
but
only
in
name
:
For
they
ought
to
be
the
Dukes
of
Burgundy
,
Normandy
,
and
Aquitain
,
the
Earls
of
Tholouse
,
Flanders
,
and
Champagny
,
all
which
are
represented
by
Deputies
in
this
act
:
One
of
the
first
circumstances
in
this
ceremony
is
,
that
two
Bishops
come
and
knock
in
the
morning
at
the
Kings
Bed-chamber
dore
,
the
Great
Chamberlain
asks
them
what
they
would
have
,
they
answer
,
Lewis
the
thirteenth
son
to
Henry
the
Great
;
The
Lord
Chamberlain
replies
,
He
Anno
1610.
sleeps
.
The
Bishops
a
while
after
knock
gently
again
,
and
demand
Lewis
the
thirteenth
whom
God
had
given
them
for
their
King
;
So
the
dore
opens
,
and
he
is
caried
in
solemn
procession
to
the
great
Church
.
At
the
communion
he
takes
the
bread
and
the
wine
,
to
shew
that
his
dignitie
is
Presbyterial
,
as
well
as
Regal
;
The
Parisians
are
bound
to
provide
certain
birds
,
which
are
let
loose
that
day
up
and
down
the
Church
,
whereof
one
was
observ'd
to
sit
and
sing
a
great
while
upon
the
canopy
that
was
caried
over
the
Kings
head
,
which
was
held
to
be
an
auspicious
augury
:
Grace
before
and
after
diner
,
is
sung
before
him
,
and
the
sword
is
held
naked
all
the
while
;
with
a
multitude
of
other
ceremonies
:
The
King
seeming
to
be
tyred
having
bin
so
many
hours
in
the
Church
,
and
born
the
crown
on
his
head
,
with
divers
other
heavy
vests
upon
his
body
,
was
ask'd
what
he
would
take
to
take
the
like
pains
again
?
he
answer'd
,
for
another
Crown
I
would
take
double
the
pains
.
The
King
and
Queen
Regent
being
return'd
to
Paris
,
the
scene
where
the
last
act
of
this
pomp
should
be
perform'd
,
before
the
triumph
was
ended
there
was
a
dash
of
water
thrown
into
their
wine
,
by
news
that
was
brought
of
an
insurrection
that
was
in
Berry
by
Florrimond
de
Pay
Lord
of
Vatan
,
who
undertook
to
protect
certain
Salt
Merchants
by
arms
,
which
he
had
leavied
,
but
he
was
quickly
suppress'd
,
and
his
head
chop'd
off
,
divers
of
his
complices
hang'd
and
strangled
:
This
was
the
first
flash
of
domestic
fire
that
happen'd
in
the
raign
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
,
which
was
the
more
dangerous
,
because
the
said
Lord
of
Vatan
was
of
the
Religion
,
and
't
was
fear'd
the
whole
body
of
them
would
have
abetted
him
.
There
arise
a
little
after
two
ill-favour'd
contentions
twixt
Church-men
which
kept
a
great
noise
for
the
present
;
One
was
of
the
Iesuits
,
who
presented
a
remonstrance
to
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
that
by
vertu
of
an
Edict
of
Henry
the
Great
,
1611.
they
might
be
permitted
to
open
their
Colledg
of
Clermont
for
the
instruction
of
youth
,
and
to
erect
Classes
for
the
public
Lecture
of
the
Sciences
in
a
scholary
way
:
The
Rector
of
the
Universitie
seconded
by
the
Sindic
of
Sorbon
with
the
whole
body
of
Academiks
oppos'd
it
mainly
;
The
first
thing
the
Court
ordred
was
,
that
the
Jesuits
should
subscribe
to
a
submission
and
conformitie
to
the
Doctrin
of
the
Sorbon
Schoole
in
these
foure
points
.
-
1.
That
the
Pope
hath
no
power
over
the
temporalls
of
Kings
,
and
that
he
cannot
excommunicat
them
,
or
deprive
them
of
their
Kingdoms
.
-
2.
That
the
Counsell
is
above
the
Pope
.
-
3.
That
the
Ecclesrastiques
are
subject
to
the
Secular
and
Politic
Magistrat
.
-
4.
That
auricular
Confessions
ought
to
be
reveal'd
which
concern
the
State
,
and
lifes
of
Kings
and
Soverain
Princes
.
All
which
Propositions
tended
to
the
maintenance
of
royal
authoritie
,
the
conservation
of
the
sacred
persons
of
Kings
,
and
the
liberties
of
the
Gallie
Church
.
The
Jesuit
shrunk
in
their
shoulders
at
this
motion
,
Anno
1611.
so
one
in
the
name
of
the
rest
answer'd
,
that
amongst
their
Statuts
there
was
one
which
oblig'd
them
to
follow
the
rules
and
laws
of
those
places
where
they
were
;
therefore
they
could
not
promise
their
General
would
subscribe
to
the
foresaid
propositions
,
but
their
Provincial
in
France
should
do
it
with
the
whole
Colledg
of
Clermont
,
which
was
done
accordingly
;
yet
the
Parliament
could
never
be
induc'd
to
passe
a
Decree
whereby
they
might
be
authorized
to
open
their
Colledg
in
Paris
for
the
education
of
youth
;
though
afterwards
the
King
and
Queen
Regent
by
sole
advise
of
the
Counsell
of
State
,
notwithstanding
the
opposition
of
Parliament
,
and
Universitie
pass'd
an
Edict
in
their
favour
:
And
this
was
done
out
of
pure
reason
of
State
,
for
the
world
knows
what
dangerous
instruments
Jesuits
are
,
if
offended
.
The
other
scuffle
amongst
Church-men
was
of
a
greater
consequence
Anno
1611.
which
was
thus
.
The
Iacobins
(
who
are
the
chiefest
order
of
preaching
Friers
)
have
a
generall
Chapter
every
three
yeers
in
Paris
;
This
convention
happen'd
this
yeer
,
and
divers
Tenets
were
propounded
there
;
One
amongst
the
rest
was
,
That
in
no
case
the
Counsell
is
above
the
Pope
.
There
sate
in
this
Assembly
many
eminent
persons
as
the
Cardinal
of
Perron
,
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
with
divers
other
great
Prelats
;
There
were
also
some
Presidents
of
Courts
there
,
and
Counsellors
,
and
the
Provost
of
Paris
:
Amongst
others
Hacquevill
President
in
the
great
Chamber
of
Parliament
at
the
debatement
of
the
said
thesis
,
stood
up
and
averr'd
that
it
was
heretical
;
whereat
the
Nuncio
was
offended
,
and
after
some
heat
of
argument
pro
and
con
,
Cardinal
Perron
took
the
word
,
and
said
,
that
this
controversie
being
not
of
Faith
,
it
might
be
lawfull
for
them
tother
side
the
Alps
to
hold
it
affirmative
,
and
for
those
of
this
side
,
negative
,
but
to
condemn
one
another
positively
thereupon
,
was
to
bring
a
schisme
into
the
Church
.
Great
was
the
confusion
and
clashings
that
grew
out
of
this
:
Till
Morelles
a
Spaniard
who
sate
in
the
chaire
stood
up
,
and
protested
that
this
position
was
propounded
only
as
problematicall
,
without
dessein
to
determin
any
thing
thereupon
.
Another
enlarg'd
himself
further
,
saying
,
that
they
tother
side
the
Hils
have
their
reasons
for
the
affirmative
part
,
and
others
for
the
negative
.
The
French
acknowledg
sufficiently
the
hierarchy
of
the
Church
,
and
in
consequence
of
that
they
receive
the
Decrees
and
Ordinances
of
the
Vicar
of
Christ
in
every
thing
that
concerns
spirituall
matters
,
points
of
Faith
,
and
policy
Ecclesiastic
:
They
make
their
addresses
to
him
for
dispensations
to
hold
incompatible
benefices
,
to
be
promoted
to
Prelacy
or
other
dignities
being
not
of
age
,
for
degrees
of
kinred
and
affinitie
in
mariages
;
They
hold
with
all
Antiquity
that
it
belongs
to
the
Pope
to
indict
oecumenical
and
universal
Counsels
,
to
approve
,
ratifie
,
and
authorize
their
Decrees
;
and
in
this
sense
the
Pope
may
be
said
to
be
above
the
Counsell
:
But
if
the
Pope
should
under
pretext
of
spiritual
jurisdiction
attempt
to
enervat
,
and
lessen
the
temporal
power
of
Kings
,
which
they
hold
immediatly
and
foly
from
the
great
God
,
it
is
then
lawfull
for
them
to
appeal
to
a
generall
Counsell
;
And
in
this
Anno
1612.
sense
the
Counsell
may
be
said
to
be
above
the
Pope
.
Richer
the
Syndic
of
Sorbon
was
hottest
of
any
that
assisted
in
this
dispute
for
the
negative
part
,
and
writ
a
book
entitled
de
Ecclesiastica
et
Politica
Potestate
,
which
was
condemn'd
by
the
solemn
censure
of
Cardinal
Perron
,
and
sundry
other
great
Prelats
who
held
a
Congregation
purposely
about
it
,
but
with
this
modification
,
provided
,
that
the
rights
of
the
King
and
Crown
of
France
with
the
immunities
and
enfranchisements
of
the
Gallican
Church
be
not
prejudic'd
:
But
they
condemn'd
the
Syndiks
Book
,
because
he
went
about
to
turn
the
Hierarchy
of
the
Church
,
which
is
a
Monarchy
,
into
an
Aristocracy
.
Richer
was
thrust
out
of
his
Sindicship
for
the
said
book
,
though
directly
against
the
Statuts
of
the
Colledg
of
Sorbon
,
whereof
one
is
,
that
no
Syndic
be
dispossess'd
of
that
place
but
with
his
own
free
will
:
And
thinking
to
plead
this
,
the
Counsell
of
State
overrul'd
the
case
,
and
a
Mandamus
came
in
the
Kings
name
to
proceed
in
the
Election
of
a
New
Syndic
.
There
issued
also
out
a
Declaration
,
wherin
the
King
sharply
reprehends
the
congregating
of
the
said
Bishops
without
his
royal
Commission
,
and
for
passing
a
generall
,
extravagant
and
incertain
censure
of
the
said
Book
;
wherein
they
seem'd
to
rebuke
,
and
approve
;
confirm
and
condemn
the
tenets
thereof
,
whereof
most
were
Orthodoxal
;
which
tended
to
puzzle
the
brains
of
men
,
and
form
scrupulous
imaginations
in
their
intellectuals
,
whence
might
ensue
dangerous
consequences
.
Thus
those
high
contentions
were
hush'd
which
were
like
to
have
usher'd
a
shrewd
schisme
into
the
Gallic
Church
,
had

The

for
he
met
with
no

The

the

so

because

happen
an

of

.
But
the
wonder
was
not
so
much
at
the

of
the
dowry
as
of
the
joynture
of
both
Princesses

Much
praecaution
was
us'd
by
the
Spaniard
,
that
,
to
correspond
with
their
Salic
law
in
France
,
the
Infanta
should
renounce
all
right
of
succession
to
the
Crown
and
dominions
of
Spain

or

The
Duke
of
Mayn
was
much
honor'd
for
the
time
,
and
once
the
King
took
him
out
of
purpose
to
ride
by
his
side
through
the
town
;
under
pain
of
indispensable
death
,
none
was
to
draw

was

The

with
four
Ginetts
.
And
hoping
it
might
prove
a
good
omen
for
the
prosperitie
of
the
match
,
the
Feast
of
Saint
Lewis
was
commanded
to
be
celebrated
with
as
much
solemnitie
,
and
held
as
holy
as
any
other
Saints
day
in
the
whole
Calender
.
The
Duke
of
Pastrana
came
that
summer
to
Paris
in
another
such
splendid
Equippage
,
and
concluded
the
counterpart
of
the
match
.
Sundry
sorts
of
triumphs
pass'd
in
Paris
upon
these
reciprocall
Contracts
;
but
the
two
Princes
of
the
bloud
would
take
no
share
in
those
public
solemnities
,
but
retir'd
from
Court
in
disgust
;
Causing
some
Confidents
of
theirs
to
blaze
abroad
the
grounds
of
their
grievances
,
which
were
,
That
the
Queen
Regent
did
not
communicat
unto
them
the
most
important
affaires
of
State
;
That
she
had
concluded
the
foresaid
mariages
without
their
advice
;
That
they
were
untimely
and
praecipitat
,
considering
the
age
of
the
Princes
:
That
the
Queen
steer'd
the
great
vessell
of
the
State
by
a
forren
compasse
:
That
the
masse
of
treasure
left
by
the
last
King
was
exhausted
,
with
such
like
.
But
a
way
was
found
to
comply
with
them
for
that
time
,
so
they
both
return'd
to
Court
,
where
Soissons
died
a
little
after
.
But
there
was
a
more
dangerous
consequence
then
this
like
to
ensue
;
for
the
said
match
,
and
so
much
intimacy
with
Spain
bred
ill
bloud
amongst
them
of
the
Religion
,
and
fill'd
them
with
ombrages
of
fear
,
it
might
turn
to
their
prejudice
and
danger
one
day
,
in
so
much
that
a
disposition
of
rising
was
discover'd
in
them
generally
;
which
was
aggravated
by
an
ill-favour'd
accident
that
happen'd
in
the
Town
of
Nismes
in
Languedoc
,
where
one
of
their
prime
Preachers
Ferrir
being
turn'd
Roman
Catholic
,
the
rabble
of
the
town
sack'd
his
house
,
burnt
his
books
,
grub'd
up
his
vineyards
,
and
plunder'd
all
he
had
;
The
King
being
offended
hereat
remov'd
the
Presidial
Court
and
Seneshalship
thence
to
Beaucaire

One
Morgard
an
Astrologer
publish'd
some
Praedictions
of
his
in
Print
grounded
upon
the
crosse
conjunction
of
some
malignant
planets
,
wherein
he
positively
foretold
very
great
commotions
that
were
ready
to
arise
in
France
;
and
the
fall
of
some
great
men
.
But
by
Decree
of
Parliament
he
was
condemn'd
to
the
gallies
,
where
in
lieu
of
handling
his
Astrolab
,
he
was
put
to
tug
at
an
oare
;
This
,
the
poor
Star-gazer
could
not
foresee
,
though
his
other
praedictions
prov'd
all
true
.
Now

Sydereal

and
praedictions

Astrology
Anno
1612.
though
they
be
at
best
,
but
conjecturall
,
yet
are
they
not
altogether
to
be
contemn'd
,
albeit
that
scarce
one
in
a
hundred
hit
;
there
is
a
multitude
of
no
mean
examples
that
may
be
produc'd
,
one
was
pointed
at
in
the
Proem
of
this
peece
.
And
divers
know
how
the
yeers
of
the
late
Erl
of
Pembrook
were
precisely
limited
by
a
Genethliacall
calcule
.
We
read
that
Otho
the
Emperour
commanded
all
Astrologers
to
quit
his
dominions
by
such
a
day
;
The
Astrologers
sent
him
word
,
that
since
he
had
assign'd
them
a
day
to
go
out
of
the
Empire
,
they
would
assign
him
another
to
go
out
of
the
world
,
for
by
such
a
day
he
should
be
no
more
among
mortals
;
which
prov'd
true
.
This
was
contrary
to
a
passage
of
Edward
the
Confessor
King
of
England
,
who
,
when
an
Astrologer
came
,
and
told
him
,
that
he
had
taken
great
pains
to
pry
into
the
horoscope
of
his
nativitie
,
and
found
that
his
Majesty
should
dy
in
such
a
moneth
;
The
King
answer'd
,
I
can
go
neerer
to
work
then
so
,
for
I
can
foretell
thee
the
very
hour
of
thy
death
,
which
will
be
to
morrow
at
two
a
clock
in
the
afternoon
precisely
,
so
that
thou
canst
not
avoyd
it
:
So
he
commanded
him
to
be
tryed
and
executed
accordingly
.
But
although
it
be
presumption
in
man
to
determin
any
thing
peremptorily
out
of
their
observance
of
the
motions
of
Celestiall
bodies
,
yet
it
must
be
granted
that
the
said
bodies
by
their
perpetuall
influxes
having
dominion
over
every
thing
that
is
natural
in
man
,
as
the
body
,
the
masse
of
bloud
,
the
organs
and
sensual
appetit
,
they
may
dispose
his
humors
and
inclinations
to
peace
or
war
,
to
obedience
or
insurrection
,
to
love
or
hatred
accordingly
.
For
if
Comets
,
as
we
find
by
wofull
experience
,
which
are
of
a
far
baser
and
more
grosse
extraction
,
being
meer
meteorologicall
stuff
,
are
thought
to
have
a
virtual
power
to
make
impressions
upon
the
air
,
and
to
leave
infectious
qualities
behind
them
in
the
regions
thereof
,
which
use
to
work
upon
human
bodies
in
contagions
,
and
upon
their
humors
to
suscitat
the
minds
of
men
to
tumults
,
and
war
,
much
more
may
the
Stars
claym
such
a
power
:
Nevertheles
although
Astra
regunt
homines
,
although
it
be
allow'd
that
the
Stars
praedominat
over
every
thing
that
is
corporeal
in
man
,
it
follows
not
,
that
this
dominion
extends
to
his
intellectuals
and
to
those
actions
which
depend
upon
the
absolut
Empire
of
the
will
,
and
other
faculties
of
the
soul
which
are
purely
spiritual
;
but
though
this
should
be
partly
granted
,
yet
if
we
consider
the
union
that
is
twixt
the
soul
and
the
senses
(
being
inmates
of
one
house
)
which
is
such
,
that
she
cannot
produce
any
act
if
they
do
not
contribut
,
and
present
the
object
which
is
the
intelligible
species
,
it
may
well
be
inferr'd
that
the
faculties
of
the
soul
operat
by
the
ministery
of
the
senses
,
and
sensual
appetit
;
and
the
sensual
appetit
by
influxes
from
heavenly
bodies
,
which
may
be
said
to
have
power
to
incite
though
not
to
force
the
will
and
affections
of
men
to
commotions
and
war
;
and
according
to
their
various
conjunctions
and
oppositions
,
their
anglings
and
culminations
to
cause
good
or
bad
effects
,
which
may
prove
inauspicious
or
successefull
;
as
some
Astrologers
observ'd
when
his
Majesty
of
great
Britain
(
then
Prince
of
Wales
)
went
to
Spain
to
fetch
a
wife
,
there
was
then
a
conjunction
twixt
Iupiter
and
Saturn
which
is
always
held
malevolent
,
so
that
journey
had
no
successe
;
but
whither
am
I
thus
transported
by
this
speculation
from
my
intended
road
?
But
without
consulting
the
stars
▪
it
was
easie
for
any
one
of
Anno
1612.
a
mean
foresight
to
be
a
prophet
of
some
sudden
commotions
to
arise
,
considering
how
matters
then
stood
in
France
;
for
the
Marshal
of
Ancre
(
an
Italian
)
had
then
the
vogue
,
having
engrossed
to
himself
by
the
favor
of
the
Queen
Regent
the
managing
and
transaction
of
all
the
greatest
affairs
of
State
;
A
man
not
so
despicable
as
the
French
Annalists
make
him
,
for
his
grandfather
was
Secretarie
of
State
to
Cosmo
de
Medici
,
and
by
birth
,
breeding
and
courage
was
a
gentleman
;
besides
his
wife
had
suck'd
of
the
same
milke
as
the
Queen
Regent
did
,
for
her
mother
had
bin
her
Nurse
.
But
it
seems
D'Ancre
had
scrued
up
the
strings
of
authoritie
too
high
,
and
so
they
came
not
only
to
jar
,
but
to
crack
at
last
.
There
were
printed
this
yeer
two
Latine
Books
which
kept
a
great
clatter
all
Christendome
over
;
one
was
writ
by
Schoppius
,
calld
Ecclesiasticus
;
The
other
by
Becanus
,
calld
Controversia
Angliae
de
potestate
Regis
et
Papae
.
They
both
trenchd
highly
upon
Regall
power
.
The
first
had
base
touches
of
scandall
upon
Henry
the
Great
,
and
his
late
Majesty
of
England
;
In
so
much
that
by
a
solemn
sentence
of
Parliament
it
was
burnt
in
Paris
:
so
France
was
revengd
on
the
Book
,
and
England
had
some
revenge
on
the
body
of
the
Author
.
For
he
being
in
Madrid
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Digby
(
now
Earl
of
Bristol
)
being
Ambassadour
there
,
Master
George
Digby
his
kinsman
(
a
generous
hardy
young
Gentleman
)
encountting
the
said
Schoppius
he
gave
him
a
faire
large
cut
athwart
the
face
,
and
so
stigmatiz'd
him
to
the
view
of
the
world
,
which
visible
mark
he
wore
to
his
grave
.
Touching
the
other
Book
of
Becanus
:
The
Syndic
of
Sorbon
petitiond
the
Queen
Regent
that
it
might
receive
the
same
doome
,
and
that
the
Sacred
Faculty
of
Theology
might
be
permitted
to
put
forth
some
public
instrument
to
condemn
the
Doctrin
thereof
;
The
Queen
advis'd
them
not
to
determin
any
thing
thereon
as
yet
,
nor
to
make
such
noise
,
or
take
so
much
notice
thereof
.
But
they
press'd
further
,
alledging
it
wold
be
a
shrew
brand
to
the
Sacred
Faculty
to
pass
over
so
slightly
such
a
scandalous
Book
,
that
derogated
so
much
from
the
authority
of
Kings
,
and
particularly
of
the
most
Christian
,
with
silence
.
For
posteritie
will
interpret
this
silence
to
be
a
consent
to
the
tenets
thereof
.
But
they
were
still
put
off
,
and
in
the
interim
there
came
news
from
Rome
that
a
Decree
was
published
by
the
Pope
wherein
the
said
Book
was
condemn'd
and
adjudg'd
to
contain
many
false
,
rash
,
scandalous
and
seditious
things
respectively
,
and
therefore
to
be
no
more
printed
or
publishd
,
but
to
be
put
in
the
second
Classes
of
Indexes
,
untill
it
be
corrected
,
and
the
correction
approv'd
according
to
the
rules
of
the
Index
.
In
the
said
Decree
the
word
respectively
some
imagined
to
be
inserted
of
purpose
,
as
an
evasion
,
to
shew
that
the
Jesuits
do
not
absolutely
condemn
the
doctrin
of
Becanus
,
but
only
as
it
invades
the
Prerogatives
of
the
French
Crown
.
They
of
the
Religion
,
as
I
told
you
before
,
suspected
some
ill
consequences
of
the
crosse
Match
with
Spain
,
and
feared
it
would
prove
crosse
to
them
in
time
;
Moreover
the
Princes
of
the
bloud
,
and
others
Anno
1613.
repin'd
at
the
power
of
D'
Ancre
,
whereupon
the
Duke
of
Bovillon
prime
Marshall
of
France
,
(
and
prime
Machinator
of
this
tumult
)
came
to
visite
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
and
made
a
solemn
studied
speech
unto
him
as
followeth
.
My
Lord
,
it
would
be
impudence
in
me
to
represent
unto
you
the
deplorable
estate
of
France
,
whereof
you
have
more
knowledge
then
I
:
or
to
touch
the
arrogance
of
Conchiny
,
which
you
must
needs
daily
resent
;
or
to
make
his
power
suspected
,
which
is
the
next
dore
to
tyranny
;
or
to
exhort
you
to
oppose
his
pernicious
desseins
:
The
consideration
of
your
own
safety
with
that
of
France
,
is
enough
to
rouze
up
your
generous
thoughts
,
and
to
administer
Counsell
to
you
who
are
the
most
judicious
Prince
of
Europe
:
Moreover
in
such
a
manifest
and
urgent
affair
as
this
,
ther
's
no
need
of
Remonstrance
,
consultation
or
exhortation
,
but
to
apply
some
sudden
,
and
actuall
remedy
:
Therefore
I
addresse
my self
now
to
your
Excellence
,
not
onely
to
offer
you
my
means
,
but
my
person
;
as
also
100000.
men
,
who
would
esteem
themselves
happy
to
serve
you
,
and
will
hold
it
a
glory
to
employ
their
bloud
to
the
last
drop
under
your
conduct
,
for
the
good
of
the
State
,
and
your
just
defence
against
this
Faquin
Florentin
,
this
Florentine
porter
,
who
plots
the
ruin
of
all
those
Princes
,
and
Peers
of
the
Kingdom
,
who
would
oreshadow
his
advancement
,
and
hinder
to
establish
his
tyranny
:
The
difference
of
Religion
which
we
professe
,
ought
not
to
empeach
a
strong
and
solid
union
between
us
,
in
the
conjuncture
of
so
common
a
danger
;
considering
that
while
we
endeavour
our
own
safety
,
we
secure
the
State
generall
,
and
incolumity
of
our
Countrey
;
which
are
conditions
inseparable
from
the
Kings
service
,
whose
Sacred
Person
is
not
safe
enough
under
the
irregular
ambition
of
a
stranger
;
which
his
Majesty
himself
begins
now
to
perceive
,
and
seeing
his
liberty
engag'd
,
fears
the
ambition
of
this
tyrant
,
and
will
find
himself
oblig'd
to
those
that
can
rid
him
of
him
.
My
Lord
,
you
are
well
assur'd
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
Princes
finding
themselfs
involv'd
in
the
same
interest
with
you
,
are
touch'd
with
the
same
resentments
,
and
dispos'd
to
joyn
with
your
Excellence
in
a
project
as
glorious
,
as
necessary
;
For
doubtles
the
Gentry
of
France
in
whom
consist
the
sinews
of
our
armies
,
being
naturally
averse
to
the
commandements
of
a
stranger
,
will
run
unto
you
from
all
parts
to
assist
you
with
their
armes
;
Touching
the
Towns
,
you
need
not
doubt
,
but
a
good
part
of
them
which
are
under
the
Government
of
the
Princes
will
declare
themselfs
for
you
.
And
I
give
you
certain
assurance
,
that
They
of
the
Religion
(
which
are
the
strongest
,
and
best
provided
with
soldiers
,
artillery
,
ammunition
,
and
victualls
of
any
other
)
will
declare
themselfs
for
your
party
,
as
soon
as
you
shall
publish
your
laudable
intentions
by
some
Manifesto
.
It
concerns
your
Excellence
therefore
my
Lord
,
to
take
hold
of
Time
by
the
foretop

and

of

lawfull
Monark
.
The
Prince
was
a
subject
fit
to
be
wrought
upon
,
and
ready
to
receive
any
print
,
for
he
could
not
brook
the
exorbitant
power
of
D'
Ancre
,
therefore
having
assurance
that
the
Dukes
of
Nevers
,
Main
,
Longueville
,
Luxemburg
,
and
the
said
Bovillon
would
follow
him
,
he
retires
to
Mezieres
upon
the
frontire
of
Champany
;
he
made
choice
of
that
place
because
it
was
his
Patrimony
,
and
that
he
might
have
a
sure
Rendevous
of
Sedan
if
need
required
:
The
Duke
of
Vendosme
thinking
to
retire
to
Britany
was
arrested
in
the
Louure
,
but
he
got
loose
by
a
trick
;
and
the
Chevalier
his
brother
was
sent
to
Malta
.
The
foresaid
male-contented
Princes
recruted
dayly
in
Champany
,
But
had
the
young
King
got
a
horsback
and
pursued
them
presently
though
with
a
petty
Army
,
the
Countrey
wold
have
riss
with
him
,
and
so
he
had
prevented
their
encrease
,
and
driven
them
in
all
probabilitie
to
Sedan
,
where
he
might
have
kept
them
in
exile
,
with
a
small
Army
on
the
frontires
;
And
his
Counsell
was
much
tax'd
for
not
advising
him
so
:
But
in
lieu
of
arms
he
sent
Ambassadors
and
Epistles
after
them
to
perswade
their
return
,
or
,
if
they
refused
,
to
amuse
them
till
he
might
raise
forces
sufficient
to
encounter
them
;
to
which
end
he
sent
to
Swisserland
for
6000.
men
;
but
Bovillon
by
his
artifice
hinder'd
that
design
from
taking
its
full
effect
.
Thus
a
fearfull
storme
was
like
to
fall
on
France
,
for
the
male-contents
dispers'd
themselfs
to
divers
strong
holds
;
Longuevill
went
to
Picardy
,
Main
to
Soissons
,
Bovillon
to
Sedan
,
and
Vendosme
was
as
busie
as
any
other
to
raise
the
Countrey
in
Britain
,
Conde
continued
still
at
Mezieres
,
nor
could
any
Letter
from
King
or
Queen
Regent
sent
by
the
Duke
.
of
Ventadour
reduce
him
;
He
writ
to
the
Queen
That
the
ill
government
,
which
he
imputed
not
to
Her
,
but
to
ill
Counsellors
,
were
the
cause
of
his
retirement
,
who
because
they
might
have
the
sole
direction
of
things
,
hindred
the
convocation
of
the
States
generall
which
were
used
to
assemble
always
in
the
Kings
minority
:
he
complain'd
that
the
mariages
with
Spain
were
precipitated
:
that
the
authority
of
the
Parliament
was
diminished
,
the
Church-men
trampled
upon
,
the
Nobles
undervalued
,
the
people
laden
with
gabells
and
tallies
,
divisions
sowed
in
Sorbon
,
and
the
University
;
with
divers
other
soloecismes
in
the
present
Government
.
In
his
conclusion
he
insists
much
upon
the
convocation
of
the
States
generall
of
the
Kingdom
sure
&
free
,
a
suspension
of
the
mariage
with
Spain
,
and
so
concluds
with
much
complement
.
These
were
specious
pretences
,
but
they
were
as
so
many
imaginary
lines
drawing
to
one
reall
Center
which
was
the
Marq:
of
Ancre
who
indeed
was
the
sole
grievance
,
and
not
He
neither
,
but
his
power
and
privacy
with
the
Queen
Regent
,
which
they
thought
to
demolish
by
Arms.
The
Queen
Regent
in
her
answer
to
Conde
reprocheth
him
,
that
he
had
not
imparted
these
things
privatly
to
her
to
whom
he
had
perpetual
acces
;
that
notwithstanding
he
seems
to
cast
the
fault
upon
certain
Counsellors
,
yet
all
bounds
upon
her
by
reflection
:
she
declares
that
long
before
the
reception
of
Anno
1613.
his
Letter
,
she
had
resolv'd
,
and
to
that
end
there
were
public
dispatches
abroad
to
summon
the
Convocation
of
the
States
Generall
;
she
takes
exception
that
he
should
call
them
Estats
seurs
&
libres
,
States
sure
and
free
,
which
made
her
conceive
a
violent
jealousie
of
some
artifice
on
his
side
,
to
sow
seeds
of
difficulties
in
the
said
great
Assembly
:
she
alledgeth
that
from
the
beginning
she
imparted
both
to
him
and
the
Co:
of
Soissons
the
mariage
with
Spain
,
that
they
approved
of
them
and
subscribed
the
Articles
;
That
the
late
King
declared
his
inclination
unto
it
when
Don
Pedro
de
Toledo
pass'd
through
France
.
And
so
she
concluds
with
exhortation
that
he
wold
appear
in
the
Assembly
of
the
three
Estates
,
and
bring
with
him
all
his
Confederats
,
to
contribut
the
great
zeal
they
professe
to
the
common
good
of
the
Kingdom
:
The
Queens
Letter
was
large
,
and
in
it
there
was
a
curious
mixture
of
meekness
and
Majestie
.
The
Duke
of
Vendosme
sent
her
also
two
Letters
,
but
he
could
get
no
answer
to
either
.
Thus
a
fearfull
black
clowd
hung
over
poor
France
,
which
the
Queen
Mother
essayed
by
all
means
possible
to
dissipat
before
it
shold
break
out
into
a
tempest
of
intestine
War
,
therefore
,
the
King
and
she
descended
to
send
again
the
Duc
of
Vantadour
accompanied
with
the
Presidents
of
Thou
and
Ieanin
with
others
to
draw
Conde
to
a
treaty
of
accord
;
which
at
last
was
agreed
upon
,
and
the
prime
Capitulations
were
these
.
-
1.
That
the
States
Generall
shold
assemble
in
the
Town
of
Sens
within
such
a
time
,
wherin
the
Deputies
of
the
three
Orders
may
safely
and
freely
make
such
Remonstrances
and
Propositions
that
they
shall
hold
in
their
consciences
to
be
profitable
for
the
common
good
,
for
the
redresse
of
disorders
,
and
conservation
of
public
tranquillity
.
-
2.
His
Majesty
being
willing
to
gratify
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
hath
upon
his
prayer
and
instance
,
and
upon
assurance
of
his
future
affection
and
fidelity
,
accorded
to
put
into
his
hands
the
Castle
of
Amboise
as
a
gage
till
the
States
Generall
dissolve
,
and
100.
men
for
garrison
in
the
said
Castle
.
-
3.
That
100.
men
shall
be
entertain'd
in
Mezieres
,
200.
in
Soissons
whereof
the
Duc
of
Main
is
Governor
,
till
the
States
Generall
have
risen
.
-
4.
That
Letters
shall
be
sent
from
his
Majesty
verified
by
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
wherin
his
Majesty
shall
declare
unto
the
world
that
there
was
no
ill
intention
against
his
service
,
by
the
said
Prince
and
his
Associats
;
therfore
that
they
shold
be
never
prejudic'd
for
the
future
in
their
estates
or
persons
.
-
5.
That
in
consideration
of
the
expences
the
said
Prince
might
be
at
in
this
business
,
his
Majesty
accords
to
give
him
450000.
Franks
to
dispose
of
as
he
shall
think
fit
.
-
6.
That
the
eldest
sonne
of
the
Duke
of
Nevers
shall
succeed
his
father
in
the
Government
of
Champany
.
These
with
divers
other
Articles
of
this
kind
,
the
King
was
induc'd
(
I
will
not
say
inforc'd
)
to
condescend
unto
for
preventing
of
greater
evils
;
and
it
was
call'd
the
Treaty
of
Saint-Menehou
;
And
one
would
have
thought
that
a
gentle
calme
should
have
follow'd
,
and
that
the
meeting
of
the
States
General
would
have
perpetuated
it
;
But
behold
two
ill-favor'd
accidents
,
like
two
impetuous
puffs
,
put
things
Anno
1613.
again
in
disorder
:
The
one
was
that
the
Duke
of
Vendosin
would
not
put
Blavet
into
the
hands
of
the
Marquis
of
Caeuures
according
to
the
Kings
command
,
but
stood
still
upon
his
gard
in
Britany
.
The
second
was
an
affront
which
Conde
alledg'd
to
have
receiv'd
from
the
Bishop
of
Poitiers
,
who
would
not
suffer
him
to
enter
the
Town
(
as
he
pass'd
to
his
government
of
Dauphine
and
secur'd
the
Castle
of
Amboise
)
being
sought
unto
by
the
Governor
the
Duc
of
Roanez
to
establish
his
authoritie
there
.
The
Bishop
arm'd
first
,
and
the
town
after
his
example
.
Conde
writes
a
Letter
to
the
Queen
Regent
which
did
not
please
her
well
,
for
he
subscribes
himself
only
her
thrice-humble
servant
and
neveu
,
whereas
he
was
us'd
to
write
your
thrice
humble
,
and
thrice
obedient
servant
,
and
subject
.
The
Marquis
of
Bonnivet
a
creature
of
Condes
had
not
yet
dismissd
all
his
troupes
,
therefore
under
his
authoritie
he
harasseth
and
plunders
all
the
Countrey
about
Poitiers
,
sacks
the
Bishops
House
and
commits
many
sacrilegious
and
execrable
outrages
;
The
young
King
hearing
this
,
gets
presently
a
Horsback
,
and
sends
the
Duke
of
Main
before
to
stop
the
ravages
of
Bonnivet
,
so
he
followeth
after
,
and
passing
by
Orleans
,
Blois
,
Tours
,
and
Chastel
le
heraud
a
cautionary
town
of
them
of
the
Religion
(
who
notwithstanding
presented
the
Keys
to
his
Majesty
as
he
pass'd
)
he
came
to
Poitiers
;
where
he
reconcil'd
the
Prince
of
Conde
and
the
Bishop
;
caus'd
Bonnivet
to
disband
his
forces
compos'd
of
Picaroons
and
vagabonds
,
Thence
he
went
to
Nants
,
where
also
he
rang'd
the
Duke
of
Vandosme
to
obedience
,
dismantled
the
Fort
at
Blavet
and
so
having
in
a
short
compasse
of
time
compos'd
and
quash'd
all
things
he
returns
triumphantly
to
Paris
,
where
an
Ambassadour
was
attending
him
from
Zuric
,
who
desir'd
to
enter
into
an
alliance
with
him
,
as
the
rest
of
the
Cantons
had
.
This
was
the
first
exploit
that
Lewis
the
thirteenth
did
in
his
own
person
,
which
like
the
rising
Sun
dispell'd
those
frog
vapors
that
hover'd
in
Poictou
and
Britany
:
and
it
was
held
a
good
augury
for
the
future
.
The
presence
of
a
King
is
oft-times
very
advantageous
;
for
Rebellion
durst
never
stare
long
in
the
face
of
Majesty
,
which
useth
to
lance
out
such
penetrating
refulgent
rayes
,
that
dazzle
the
eyes
of
Traytors
,
and
put
them
at
last
quite
out
of
countenance
.
With
this
achievment
we
will
conclude
his
Minority
,
and
his
Mothers
Regency
;
And
as
this
first
expedition
of
his
prov'd
lucky
,
so
was
his
whole
life
attended
with
a
series
of
good
successes
,
as
if
Fortune
her self
had
rid
with
him
all
the
while
upon
the
same
horse
.
And
now
must
we
put
a
period
to
the
first
lustre
of
Lewis
the
thirteenths
raign
,
and
with
it
to
his
minoritie
or
bassage
;
We
proceed
to
his
second
lustre
wherewith
his
majoritie
begins
being
arriv'd
to
the
yeer
fourteen
.

of

raigne
,
and
of
his
Majoritie
.
ANd
now
our
Story
must
mount
up
to
his
Majority
,
and
follow
him
to
his
full
age
,
wherein
he
entred
at
fourteen
yeers
,
and
the
broken
number
of
the
Lords
yeer
was
coincident
,
being
sixteen
hundred
and
fourteen
;
But
I
have
read
an
old
Author
who
writes
,
that
without
any
consideration
had
of
yeers
,
the
French
Kings
arrive
to
maturitie
,
and
are
capable
to
sway
the
Scepter
,
when
they
come
to
be
as
high
as
a
sword
,
let
their
age
be
what
it
will
.
In
the
former
Chapter
we
told
you
that
by
vertue
of
the
Treatie
of
St.
Menehou
the
Queen
Regent
had
promis'd
,
and
was
oblig'd
to
the
Princes
by
capitulation
to
summon
the
States
Generall
,
and
suspecting
there
might
be
some
desseins
against
her
authoritie
,
she
endevour'd
to
prevent
it
divers
wayes
.
First
,
in
the
Mandats
sent
to
the
Governors
of
Provinces
,
and
Towns
for
the
elections
of
Deputies
,
there
were
speciall
cautions
inserted
,
to
choose
no
factious
persons
;
The
second
means
was
to
defer
the
convocation
of
the
States
Generall
,
till
the
Kings
majority
was
declar'd
,
that
so
his
authoritie
might
be
the
more
compleat
and
absolut
,
whereby
he
might
have
a
greater
power
to
take
into
his
hands
her
interests
,
and
oppose
such
resolutions
that
might
prejudice
them
.
Lastly
,
whereas
the
said
convocation
was
appointed
first
to
be
at
Rheims
,
then
at
Sens
,
she
sent
summons
abroad
that
it
should
be
held
at
Paris
,
where
the
King
was
strongest
by
the
residence
of
his
servants
,
the
affections
of
all
orders
of
people
,
and
the
assistance
of
the
ordinary
Court
of
Parliament
which
is
still
there
sitting
,
though
it
was
us'd
to
be
ambulatory
with
the
Kings
Court.
Now
,
the
difference
which
is
in
France
between
an
Assembly
of
the
three
Estates
,
and
their
Parliaments
is
,
that
the
former
hath
an
analogie
both
in
point
of
institution
,
power
,
and
summons
with
our
Soverain
high
Court
of
Parliament
in
England
,
compos'd
of
Lords
and
Commons
,
wherein
the
King
sits
as
head
,
and
it
is
He
alone
who
opens
and
shuts
it
with
his
breath
;
This
being
the
greatest
of
all
Assemblies
,
treats
of
matters
touching
the
universall
good
of
the
State
,
and
the
making
,
correcting
or
repealing
of
laws
,
and
it
is
the
highest
Sphere
which
gives
motion
to
all
the
rest
.
The
Parliaments
of
France
,
whereof
there
are
eight
,
have
not
the
same
latitude
of
power
,
yet
are
they
Supreme
Courts
,
or
Sessions
of
Justice
,
where
mens
causes
and
differences
are
publikly
determined
in
last
ressort
without
any
further
appeale
;
and
any
Peer
of
France
by
right
of
inheritance
hath
a
capacitie
to
sit
there
.
The
day
being
assign'd
for
publishing
the
Kings
Majority
,
the
Queen
Regent
and
He
with
his
now
sole
brother
the
Duke
of
Anjou
,
(
for
his
brother
the
Duke
of
Orleans
was
lately
dead
)
went
in
a
stately
solemn
maner
to
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
accompagnied
with
the
prime
Prelats
,
and
Peers
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
amongst
them
there
were
Anno
1614.
fower
Cardinalls
;
A
contestation
happen'd
'twixt
the
Cardinalls
and
Peers
for
precedency
;
because
the
twelve
Peers
of
France
,
before
an
Ordinance
made
by
Henry
the
third
,
preceded
any
Prince
of
the
bloud
at
the
Coronation
and
Sacring
of
the
King
,
and
the
declaration
of
his
Majority
was
an
Act
reflecting
on
that
.
Yet
the
King
inordred
the
priority
for
that
time
to
the
Cardinalls
,
because
they
were
Princes
of
the
Church
universal
,
which
made
the
Peers
retire
from
the
Court
lest
it
might
serve
for
a
precedent
to
future
Ages
.
The
Court
being
sat
,
and
all
silenc'd
the
Queen
Regent
riss
up
,
and
said
,
That
she
prais'd
and
thank'd
God
to
have
afforded
her
grace
to
bring
up
her
son
to
the
yeers
of
his
Majority
,
and
to
maintain
his
Kingdom
in
peace
the
best
she
could
:
That
now
he
being
come
to
age
,
she
transmitted
the
Government
to
him
,
exhorting
the
company
there
present
,
and
all
other
his
subjects
to
render
him
that
service
,
obedience
and
fidelity
which
is
due
unto
him
as
to
their
King
.
The
Chancelor
hereupon
pronounced
the
Arrest
of
the
Court
,
importing
a
verification
of
the
declaration
of
his
Majesties
Majority
;
which
was
done
in
a
solemn
studied
Oration
.
This
great
solemnity
did
not
end
so
,
but
it
was
accompagnied
with
four
wholsom
Edicts
,
as
the
first
fruits
or
hansels
of
his
raign
.
-
1.
The
first
aym'd
at
a
general
concord
'twixt
his
subjects
,
by
strict
injunction
of
observing
the
Edict
of
Nantes
concerning
them
of
the
Religion
.
-
2.
The
second
aym'd
at
a
generall
obedience
,
prohibiting
all
ligues
,
confederacy
and
intelligence
with
any
strange
Prince
or
State
under
pain
of
lifs
.
-
3.
The
third
against
Duells
.
-
4.
The
fourth
against
Blasphemy
and
Swearing
.
Thus
ended
the
Regency
of
Maria
de
Medici
in
form
,
though
not
in
effect
,
for
she
swayed
a
good
while
after
as
Queen
Mother
in
all
Counsels
,
the
King
reposing
still
his
chief
confidence
in
her
;
during
her
Regency
she
did
many
public
things
which
discover'd
a
pious
and
Princely
soul
;
Amongst
others
she
provided
divers
Hospitalls
in
the
suburbs
of
Saint
German
for
the
relief
of
the
poor
,
the
aged
,
and
sick
,
and
to
set
young
people
at
work
;
which
will
continue
there
as
long
as
the
walls
of
Paris
for
monuments
of
her
honour
and
charity
.
The
King
having
notice
that
the
Deputies
of
the
three
States
were
com
,
he
sent
the
B
p.
of
Paris
to
warn
them
in
his
name
to
fit
themselfs
for
receiving
the
grace
of
God
,
that
so
a
blessing
might
fall
upon
their
consultations
;
to
which
purpose
three
daies
fast
was
enjoyn'd
them
,
to
prepare
them
the
better
for
the
holy
Communion
,
which
was
also
inordred
them
.
So
according
to
ancient
custom
a
generall
Procession
was
made
,
wherein
divers
ranks
of
Fryars
and
Hopitalers
went
before
,
then
followed
the
Deputies
of
the
third
Estate
,
who
took
place
according
to
the
rank
of
the
12.
Governments
of
France
,
and
made
in
number
192.
The
Nobles
followed
them
;
in
number
132.
They
of
the
Clergie
went
last
,
who
made
140.
so
that
in
all
they
came
to
464.
which
number
I
observe
is
inferior
to
that
of
the
English
Anno
1614.
Parliament
,
where
the
Members
of
the
House
of
Commons
alone
which
corresponds
the
Third
Estate
in
France
,
come
to
neer
upon
500.
After
these
the
King
himself
followed
on
foot
,
accompagnied
with
the
Queen
and
the
Princes
and
Peeres
.
The
next
day
after
,
all
met
in
Bourbon
House
hall
where
the
young
King
told
them
,
That
having
not
long
since
declar'd
his
Majority
,
he
thought
fitting
to
convoque
the
States
Generall
of
his
Kingdom
,
to
begin
his
raign
by
their
good
advice
and
Counsell
,
to
receive
their
complaints
,
and
provide
for
redres
accordingly
,
as
it
should
be
more
amply
told
them
by
his
Chancelor
,
who
took
the
word
therupon
.
This
generall
overture
and
Ceremony
being
ended
,
the
States
Generall
spent
some
daies
to
visit
one
another
,
and
to
choosing
of
their
three
Praesidents
or
Prolocutors
which
they
presented
to
the
King
with
protestation
of
all
fidelity
and
obedience
.
The
next
day
they
took
the
Communion
all
in
one
Church
,
going
six
at
a
time
(
viz.
two
of
every
Order
)
to
the
holy
Table
.
The
Munday
following
they
reassembled
intending
to
fall
close
to
work
,
but
their
proceedings
were
retarded
by
some
differences
which
interven'd
touching
the
rank
of
the
12.
Provinces
or
Governments
,
and
this
clash
kept
a
great
noise
;
till
the
King
interpos'd
therin
his
Authority
,
and
by
the
advice
of
his
Privy
Counsel
,
which
they
submitted
unto
,
made
this
decision
marshalling
the
12.
Governments
thus
:
1.
the
Isle
of
France
,
(
whereon
Paris
stands
)
2.
Burgundy
,
3.
Normandy
,
4.
Guyen
,
5.
Britany
,
6.
Champany
,
7.
Languedoc
,
8.
Picardy
,
9.
Dauphine
,
10.
Provence
,
11.
Lionnois
,
12.
Orleans
.
This
being
regulated
by
the
King
,
they
fell
to
the
main
work
,
and
three
Propositions
were
made
;
the
first
by
the
Clergy
wherewith
the
Nobles
joyn'd
.
-
1.
That
the
Counsell
of
Trent
should
be
publish'd
through
France
.
-
2.
That
the
venality
and
selling
of
Offices
should
be
suppressed
.
-
3.
That
the
King
should
acknowledge
in
this
Assembly
to
have
no
other
superiour
power
on
earth
in
his
Temporalls
,
and
that
he
held
the
Crown
immediatly
of
God
alone
.
This
last
Proposition
was
put
on
by
the
third
Estate
,
against
the
intention
and
without
the
concurrence
of
Clergy
and
Nobles
,
of
purpose
to
hinder
the
concession
of
the
other
two
,
because
divers
of
the
third
Estate
were
favourers
of
them
of
the
Religion
and
Financiers
.
The
first
Proposition
was
couch'd
in
these
termes
.
That
the
Oecumenical
Counsel
of
Trent
be
receiv'd
and
publish'd
in
your
Realms
,
and
the
Constitutions
thereof
kept
and
observ'd
;
but
without
prejudice
to
your
Majesties
rights
,
the
liberties
of
the
Gallic
Church
,
the
priviledges
and
exepmtions
of
Chapters
,
Monasteries
and
Cominalties
which
his
Holinesse
shall
be
prayed
,
may
be
reserv'd
,
and
to
remain
in
their
entire
strength
,
so
that
the
publication
of
the
said
Counsell
may
not
prejudice
them
any
way
.
The
Third
Estate
protested
against
this
,
alledging
these
reasons
;
That
in
the
said
Counsell
there
were
divers
Decrees
,
whereby
the
Spirituall
,
invaded
the
Temporall
rights
.
That
it
would
be
a
thing
not
only
prejudiciall
but
dishonourable
for
France
to
approve
of
a
Counsell
,
wherein
the
Anno
1614.
most
Christian
King
had
received
a
palpable
injury
in
the
persons
of
his
Ambassadors
,
who
were
postpos'd
to
them
of
Spain
,
which
caus'd
them
to
retire
,
and
quit
the
said
Counsell
in
sense
of
that
indignity
offer'd
to
them
who
personated
the
first
son
of
the
Church
in
so
public
a
Convention
.
They
excepted
also
against
that
clause
that
the
Pope
should
be
prayed
,
the
liberties
of
the
Gallic
Church
might
be
preserv'd
,
for
that
was
to
submit
them
to
a
forren
power
,
to
the
Papall
authoritie
;
whereas
the
said
liberties
are
independent
,
and
originally
inhaerent
in
the
Gallican
Church
,
and
contemporary
with
Christianity
it self
;
The
difference
'twixt
Liberties
and
Priviledges
being
this
,
that
the
latter
presuppose
the
concession
and
grant
of
some
superior
Power
,
but
liberties
are
originall
,
and
immemorial
possessions
,
and
equall
to
inheritances
.
Touching
the
second
Proposition
of
the
Clergy
and
Nobles
against
the
venality
and
merchandising
of
Offices
,
it
was
wav'd
,
because
divers
of
the
Third
Estate
were
either
Financiers
,
or
Officers
of
Justice
,
which
places
they
had
bought
,
and
so
had
power
to
sell
them
again
for
money
.
Touching
the
third
Proposition
that
concern'd
the
independency
of
the
French
Crown
which
was
presented
by
the
Commons
in
opposition
to
the
first
Proposition
made
by
the
Clergy
and
Nobles
for
the
publication
of
the
Counsell
of
Trent
;
the
one
being
made
out
of
a
zeale
to
the
State
Civil
,
the
other
to
the
State
Spiritual
,
there
were
hot
bandings
on
both
sides
;
The
third
Estate
or
Commons
would
have
it
declared
for
a
fundamentall
law
,
that
the
King
being
supreme
and
absolute
in
his
own
Dominions
,
there
is
no
power
on
earth
,
either
Spirituall
or
Temporall
,
that
hath
any
right
to
deprive
him
of
his
Crown
,
or
to
dispense
and
absolve
his
subjects
from
their
allegiance
unto
him
:
This
was
done
to
extinguish
that
dangerous
Doctrin
broached
by
som
,
how
it
was
lawfull
to
kill
Tyrants
,
and
if
the
Roman
Bishop
had
power
to
declare
Kings
Tyrants
,
their
lifes
would
be
expos'd
to
the
passion
of
every
Pope
,
and
so
to
perpetuall
apprehensions
of
danger
.
The
Clergy
and
Nobles
finding
how
pertinacious
and
resolute
the
Commons
were
in
this
point
for
securing
the
lifes
of
their
Kings
,
and
fearing
it
might
breed
a
schisme
'twixt
the
Apostolicall
See
,
and
the
Monarchy
of
France
,
Cardinal
Perron
a
man
of
high
merit
and
moderation
,
was
sent
to
make
a
Remonstrance
unto
them
,
which
he
reduced
to
three
heads
.
-
1.
That
it
is
not
permitted
upon
any
cause
whatsoever
to
kill
a
King
.
-
2.
That
the
Kings
of
France
are
Soverains
in
all
degrees
of
Temporal
soverainty
within
their
Realm
.
-
3.
That
there
is
no
case
,
wherby
subjects
may
be
absolved
from
their
oth
of
fidelity
to
their
Prince
.
Concerning
the
first
two
he
pronounc'd
them
as
absolut
and
categoricall
;
but
touching
the
last
the
Cardinal
said
,
that
in
regard
it
might
usher
in
a
Schisme
,
he
left
it
as
problematicall
,
not
positif
.
The
President
or
Speaker
of
the
Commons
answer'd
,
that
the
third
Anno
1615.
Proposition
being
politicall
,
he
conceiv'd
it
concern'd
not
the
Doctrin
of
Faith
,
and
consequently
could
not
introduce
any
schisme
;
much
bussling
there
was
about
this
point
,
the
Commons
being
very
eager
in
it
,
having
the
Parliament
of
Paris
siding
with
them
,
who
pass'd
an
Arrest
in
favour
of
them
accordingly
:
but
the
King
evok'd
the
difference
to
himself
commanding
that
nothing
should
be
determin'd
theron
;
in
regard
that
he
being
assured
of
his
own
right
and
possession
,
it
appertain'd
not
either
to
the
States
,
or
to
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
or
any
other
arbiter
whatsoever
to
take
cognisance
thereof
;
and
remarkable
it
was
,
that
the
King
did
not
evoke
and
call
that
matter
to
Himself
and
to
his
Counsell
,
according
to
the
ordinary
form
,
but
absolutly
to
himself
and
his
own
Person
.
But
although
the
King
commanded
the
said
Decree
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
to
be
suspended
,
the
Attorney
Generall
made
such
diligences
,
because
he
was
a
friend
to
the
businesse
,
that
divers
Copies
were
sent
abroad
.
The
great
Assembly
drawing
now
towards
a
closure
,
they
brought
their
Cayers
,
or
papers
of
grievances
to
the
King
at
Bourbon
House
hall
;
The
Bishop
of
Luson
(
after
Cardinall
of
Richelieu
)
was
Prolocutor
for
the
Clergy
;
the
King
presently
delivered
the
said
Cayers
to
his
Chancelor
,
promising
them
an
answer
with
all
convenient
expedition
.
Thereupon
a
little
after
he
sent
for
them
to
the
Louure
his
royal
Palace
,
and
told
them
that
in
regard
of
sundry
affairs
of
great
importance
he
could
not
answer
their
Cayers
so
soon
as
he
desired
,
but
he
would
give
speedy
order
to
do
it
,
in
the
interim
they
might
carry
along
with
them
to
the
Countrey
an
assurance
of
the
satisfaction
they
expected
touching
the
chiefest
Articles
;
for
he
was
resolv'd
to
suppres
the
selling
of
offices
,
to
ease
his
people
of
tallies
and
subsidies
,
to
cause
a
research
to
be
made
into
the
misdemeanures
of
his
Receivers
and
Financiers
;
and
lastly
,
to
retrench
the
multiplicitie
of
Offices
and
Pensions
,
which
were
encreas'd
from
about
two
millions
of
franks
,
(
which
was
the
stint
in
the
former
Kings
raign
)
to
four
millions
,
which
make
four
hundred
thousand
pounds
sterling
.
Observ'd
it
was
that
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
,
while
this
busines
of
retrenching
Officers
and
Pensions
was
in
hottest
agitation
amongst
the
States
,
got
three
new
Tresurers
of
Pensions
to
be
created
,
from
whom
he
drew
neer
upon
one
hundred
thousand
pound
sterling
,
as
you
will
find
hereafter
when
it
will
be
thrown
into
his
dish
.
This
was
the
first
and
last
Assembly
of
the
three
Estates
,
or
Parliament
general
,
that
was
held
in
the
raign
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
,
which
it
seems
found
his
grave
then
,
for
there
hath
bin
none
ever
since
,
and
there
is
litte
hopes
of
its
resurrection
,
while
the
Clergy
and
Nobles
continue
so
potent
,
who
finding
that
the
third
Estate
began
to
tamper
with
the
Popes
jurisdiction
,
and
Church
matters
,
have
wrought
means
to
hinder
their
meeting
any
time
these
30.
yeers
and
upwards
.
This
yeer
died
Queen
Margaret
the
last
Branch
of
the
Valois
,
being
Anno
1615.
come
of
the
loyns
of
thirteen
successif
Monarks
of
that
line
,
a
Lady
of
a
rare
attracting
exterior
bewty
,
she
had
a
high
harmonious
soul
,
much
addicted
to
music
,
and
the
sweets
of
love
,
and
oftentimes
in
a
Platonic
way
;
She
would
have
this
Motto
often
in
her
mouth
;
Voulez
vous
cesser
d'aymer
?
possedez
la
chose
aymée
.
Will
you
cease
to
love
?
possesse
the
thing
you
love
.
She
had
lodg'd
Henry
Duke
of
Guyse
who
was
kill'd
at
Blois
so
far
in
her
heart
,
that
being
afterwards
married
against
her
will
to
Henry
the
fourth
,
and
divorc'd
by
mutuall
consent
,
she
profess'd
she
could
never
affect
him
;
she
had
strains
of
humors
and
transcendencies
beyond
the
vulgar
,
and
delighted
to
be
call'd
Venus
Urania
.
She
would
have
Philosophers
and
Divines
in
her
House
,
and
took
pleasure
to
hear
them
dispute
,
and
clash
one
with
the
other
;
she
entertain'd
fortie
Priests
,
English
,
Scots
,
and
Irish
;
she
would
often
visit
hospitals
,
and
did
divers
acts
of
charitie
to
satisfie
for
the
lubricities
of
her
youth
.
There
was
an
accident
happen'd
this
yeer
in
Paris
that
made
a
mighty
noise
for
the
time
;
Two
of
the
Kings
gards
having
fought
,
and
the
one
being
kill'd
,
the
other
fled
into
Sanctuary
to
the
Abbey
of
St.
Germain
;
The
Duke
of
Espernon
fetch'd
him
thence
by
force
:
Complaint
being
made
to
the
King
,
he
put
him
over
to
the
Court
of
Parliament
to
receive
his
doom
for
infringing
the
Priviledges
of
the
Church
,
and
commanded
him
to
deliver
the
Prisoner
again
to
the
Sanctuary
,
or
he
would
fetch
him
away
himself
;
The
old
Duke
did
so
,
and
coming
to
the
Palace
to
appear
before
the
Parliament
,
a
ruffling
company
of
Souldiers
and
Cadets
follow'd
him
who
did
some
acts
of
insolency
against
the
Lawyers
by
kicking
them
with
their
spurs
in
the
Hall
where
none
should
come
spurr'd
;
this
aggravated
the
busines
,
but
the
Duke
made
a
long
submissive
speech
to
the
Parliament
,
wherein
he
acknowledg'd
his
error
,
concluding
with
an
apology
,
that
they
would
excuse
him
if
his
discourse
did
not
content
their
learned
eares
,
for
having
bin
all
his
life
time
a
Captain
of
foot
,
he
had
learnt
to
do
better
then
speak
.
The
prime
President
then
rise
up
,
and
said
;
That
since
the
King
in
imitation
of
his
Progenitors
intends
to
be
more
inclin'd
to
sweetnes
and
clemency
,
then
rigor
:
The
Court
by
his
expresse
command
,
and
in
consideration
of
your
long
services
,
beleeving
the
good
rather
then
the
bad
,
doth
graciously
interpret
the
actions
of
an
ancient
Officer
of
the
Crown
and
Peer
of
France
,
and
so
receives
your
excuses
:
hoping
that
this
will
occasion
you
,
and
your
children
to
render
the
King
and
the
State
such
services
as
you
are
oblig'd
to
do
,
and
for
the
futur
that
you
will
contain
your self
within
the
bounds
of
that
respect
and
honor
which
you
owe
to
this
Court
.
There
was
mention
made
a
little
before
how
the
Assembly
of
the
States
Generall
was
dissolv'd
,
and
that
having
deliver'd
their
Cayers
of
complaints
to
the
King
,
they
were
dismiss'd
but
with
large
parol
promises
only
;
We
related
also
how
the
Arrest
made
in
the
Parliament
of
Paris
in
Confirmation
of
the
opinion
of
the
Third
Estate
touching
the
independency
of
the
Crown
of
France
,
was
commanded
by
the
King
Anno
1615.
to
be
suspended
,
and
that
nothing
should
be
determin'd
therein
.
This
gather'd
ill
bloud
,
which
bred
ill
humors
,
and
so
brake
out
into
divers
distempers
afterwards
,
as
will
appear
:
For
as
in
the
naturall
body
,
if
upon
taking
of
Physic
,
the
superstuities
be
onely
stirr'd
,
and
not
purg'd
,
it
doth
more
hurt
then
good
,
and
makes
the
drug
to
remain
in
the
stomach
undigested
;
So
in
civil
Corporations
,
if
abuses
be
only
moved
,
and
not
remedied
,
it
makes
the
body
Politic
worse
then
it
was
.
The
Parliament
of
Paris
was
sensible
how
the
Arrest
wherein
they
concurr'd
with
the
Third
Estate
was
slighted
,
and
countermanded
,
therefore
they
publish'd
an
Order
,
that
,
under
the
good
pleasure
of
the
King
,
all
Princes
,
Dukes
,
Peers
,
and
Officers
of
the
Crown
which
are
capable
of
sitting
and
have
deliberative
votes
in
that
Court
,
should
repair
thither
by
such
a
time
,
to
consult
of
matters
tending
to
his
Majesties
service
,
&c.
When
this
Order
pass'd
the
Prince
of
Condé
was
promis'd
to
be
there
,
but
he
was
counter-commanded
by
the
King
,
nor
did
any
of
the
rest
appear
:
yet
the
Parliament
went
on
and
fram'd
a
Remonstrance
of
abuses
in
Government
which
by
their
Deputies
they
sent
to
the
King
,
and
being
come
to
the
Louure
they
danc'd
attendance
there
a
good
while
,
and
afterwards
they
were
brought
up
by
a
back
odd
way
to
the
Kings
presence
,
where
the
Queen
Mother
was
also
present
and
divers
Princes
;
The
prime
President
made
an
oylie
complemental
speech
full
of
protestations
of
loyalty
to
his
Majesty
,
and
afterwards
delivered
the
Cayer
of
Remonstrances
,
which
was
read
aloud
by
one
of
the
Secretaries
of
State
,
wherein
the
Parliament
instanced
in
divers
grievances
,
and
that
they
resented
nothing
more
,
but
that
in
the
face
of
the
whole
State
,
the
royal
power
was
rendred
and
left
problematical
,
and
doubtfull
.
The
young
King
was
not
well
pleas'd
with
this
Remonstrance
,
and
the
Queen
Mother
much
lesse
;
Who
told
them
that
the
King
had
just
cause
to
be
offended
with
the
Parliament
,
because
against
his
command
they
had
meddled
with
matters
of
State
,
and
that
she
was
not
so
short
sighted
,
but
that
she
could
perceive
how
these
things
reflected
upon
her
Regency
,
which
they
had
formerly
highly
approv'd
of
,
and
the
Assembly
of
States
General
had
also
thank'd
her
for
.
Then
the
Chancelor
took
the
word
,
telling
them
that
they
had
bin
misinform'd
in
many
things
which
they
took
upon
trust
,
and
that
they
were
much
out
of
their
account
,
in
that
they
alledg'd
that
the
expences
were
greater
,
and
the
receipts
lesse
under
this
King
,
then
his
Father
,
who
reserv'd
but
eight
thousand
liures
,
every
yeer
,
not
two
millions
,
as
they
pretended
.
So
the
prime
President
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Parliaments
delegats
were
dismiss'd
with
little
or
no
countenance
at
all
;
The
Counsell
of
State
spoak
high
language
,
averring
that
the
passing
of
the
foresaid
public
Order
to
invite
the
Princes
,
and
Peers
to
meet
in
Parliament
upon
extraordinary
occasions
,
without
his
Majesties
leave
,
was
an
open
,
and
insupportable
attempt
upon
his
authoritie
now
that
he
is
declar'd
Major
,
as
also
upon
the
authoritie
of
that
Counsell
;
therefore
an
Arrest
issued
out
,
That
the
Parliaments
Remonstrances
were
false
,
calumnious
,
and
full
of
malice
and
disobedience
,
and
that
therefore
they
Anno
1615.
should
be
drawn
off
the
Register
of
the
said
Parliament
,
and
suppress'd
for
ever
,
with
an
inhibition
that
the
said
Court
should
not
meddle
with
matters
of
State
but
by
the
Kings
command
.
Before
this
Arrest
was
publish'd
,
the
Parliament
mainly
endevour'd
to
give
some
contentment
to
their
Majesties
;
therefore
they
employ'd
again
the
prime
President
with
others
,
To
declare
the
great
displeasure
the
Court
had
,
that
their
Remonstrance
was
not
agreeable
to
their
Majesties
wils
,
protesting
that
it
was
never
the
intention
of
the
Court
to
touch
upon
their
actions
,
or
the
Queens
Regency
,
whom
they
acknowledg'd
to
have
oblig'd
all
France
by
her
wise
conduct
and
care
she
had
both
of
the
Kings
Person
,
and
the
State
,
that
as
they
could
not
,
so
they
would
never
attempt
any
thing
upon
royal
authority
,
what
they
had
don
was
to
testifie
the
zeal
which
they
owe
,
and
will
shew
eternally
to
their
Majesties
Persons
;
That
they
most
humbly
desir'd
them
to
remember
that
the
very
next
day
after
the
death
of
Henry
the
Great
,
their
Majesties
were
pleas'd
to
honor
that
Court
with
their
presence
,
desiring
them
to
contribut
their
good
Counsels
for
the
conduct
of
the
public
affairs
,
which
oblig'd
them
to
present
the
foresaid
Remonstrances
,
&c.
So
they
concluded
with
all
possible
submission
,
and
a
desire
that
the
said
Arrest
of
his
Counsel
of
State
should
not
be
publish'd
.
This
took
away
somthing
of
the
inflamation
for
the
time
,
but
it
cur'd
not
the
wound
,
which
began
to
fester
more
and
more
,
and
so
gangrend
that
the
whole
body
politic
was
like
to
perish
.
For
what
the
Court
of
Parliament
sought
by
supplication
,
the
Prince
of
Conde
not
long
after
sought
by
the
sword
,
who
having
divers
of
the
greatest
Princes
,
and
them
of
the
Religion
ligu'd
with
him
,
brought
their
Petition
upon
the
Pikes
point
;
Conde
flew
to
that
height
,
that
he
proceeded
not
by
way
of
Remonstrance
,
but
,
as
if
he
had
bin
a
Prince
absolut
,
by
way
of
Manifesto
.
He
was
then
in
Picardy
whither
the
King
had
sent
divers
Letters
by
persons
of
good
quality
,
to
invite
him
to
come
to
Court
,
and
to
accompany
him
in
his
voyage
to
Guyen
to
fetch
the
Infanta
,
but
all
would
not
do
;
for
old
Bovillon
had
infus'd
other
Counsels
into
his
head
,
and
so
he
publish'd
a
Manifesto
that
the
cause
of
his
retirement
from
the
Court
,
was
the
insolent
deportment
of
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
,
the
dissipation
of
Henry
the
Greats
treasure
,
the
introduction
of
strangers
,
of
Iewes
,
Sorcerers
and
Magicians
,
by
the
said
Marshall
;
and
so
he
concluded
King-like
,
(
parlant
en
sire
)
Wherefore
we
pray
and
warn
all
the
the
Princes
,
Peers
,
and
Officers
of
the
Crown
,
and
all
such
as
call
themselfs
French
to
succour
and
assist
us
in
so
good
an
occasion
:
And
we
require
and
adjure
all
forren
Princes
and
strangers
,
all
the
Allies
and
Confederats
of
this
State
to
give
us
ayd
and
assistance
,
&c.
These
were
the
specious
pretences
that
caus'd
this
Manifesto
,
which
divers
forren
Princes
took
in
foul
scorn
,
that
he
should
require
them
,
being
but
a
vassal
himself
;
The
truth
is
,
there
was
but
one
generall
grievance
,
and
that
was
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
a
Confident
of
the
Queen
Mothers
,
whom
she
had
brought
with
her
from
Italy
,
his
wife
having
bin
her
foster
sister
;
He
had
the
greatest
vogue
at
Court
,
Anno
1615.
which
being
a
stranger
made
him
repin'd
at
.
The
King
and
the
Queen
Mother
were
then
resolv'd
upon
a
journey
to
Burdeaux
to
receive
the
Infanta
,
and
to
deliver
the
Daughter
of
France
for
the
King
of
Spain
:
Conde
disswades
the
King
from
the
voyage
by
Letters
,
which
were
not
well
taken
.
So
while
the
one
prepares
for
his
journey
,
the
other
arms
for
a
war
,
and
gets
on
his
party
Longueville
,
Bulloin
and
Mayn
,
who
had
concluded
the
match
with
Spain
,
yet
refus'd
to
attend
in
the
jour
ney
;
Thus
a
fearfull
clowd
hung
over
France
,
yet
nothing
could
deter
the
King
from
going
to
fetch
his
wife
,
and
the
Queen
Mother
said
,
That
all
the
power
of
earth
should
not
hinder
him
:
Besides
he
was
straitned
for
money
for
so
long
and
costly
a
voyage
,
nor
would
the
Chamber
of
Accounts
verify
in
Letters
to
take
any
out
of
the
Bastile
;
whereupon
the
King
went
himself
in
Person
accompagnied
by
the
Queen
his
Mother
,
his
Chancelor
,
Secretaries
of
State
,
and
others
,
in
whose
presence
the
Coffers
were
open'd
and
two
millions
and
a
halfe
of
Liures
,
which
make
250000.
pounds
sterling
were
taken
out
,
and
deliver'd
to
the
Treasurer
of
the
Privy
Purse
.
The
King
being
to
begin
his
journey
,
the
first
thing
he
did
was
to
secure
Paris
,
so
he
left
Mounsier
de
Liencour
Governour
thereof
,
and
to
authorise
him
the
more
,
he
admitted
him
to
the
Court
of
Parliament
by
Letters
Patents
which
the
said
Court
did
verifie
,
notwithstanding
the
harsh
answer
they
had
had
to
their
late
Remonstrance
at
the
Louure
:
The
Marshal
of
Ancre
was
sent
to
Amiens
with
a
considerable
Army
:
And
another
Army
was
left
under
the
command
of
the
Marshal
de
Bois
Daufin
consisting
of
16000.
foot
,
1500.
horse
,
and
2000.
Carrabins
,
to
make
head
against
the
Mutiners
.
So
the
King
and
his
Mother
accompagnied
with
the
Dukes
of
Guyse
,
Elbaeuf
,
and
Espernon
,
with
a
good
number
of
Gentlemen
,
with
1200.
light
horse
,
his
Guard
of
Suisses
and
others
,
making
in
all
400.
foot
,
parted
from
Paris
towards
Bourdeaux
,
and
being
come
to
Poictiers
Madame
his
sister
which
was
to
be
sent
to
Spain
fell
sick
of
the
small
Pox
,
which
detaind
the
Court
there
five
weeks
,
and
so
much
retarded
the
journey
.
In
the
intrim
the
Princes
forces
encrease
and
prosper
exceedingly
,
having
had
the
best
in
three
rencounters
:
Old
Bovillon
had
got
600.
Reiters
from
the
Marquis
of
Brandenburg
,
who
joyn'd
with
them
,
they
got
over
the
Loire
maugre
the
Royall
Army
under
Bois
Dauphin
.
The
Duke
of
Vandom
was
then
with
the
King
,
and
he
gave
him
Commission
extraordinary
to
make
levies
of
horse
and
foot
,
and
having
by
virtu
thereof
rais'd
an
Army
of
10000.
Combatants
,
he
declar'd
himself
afterward
for
the
Princes
,
and
employ'd
them
against
the
King
.
He
who
did
thrive
best
amongst
the
Royalists
was
the
Marshal
of
Ancre
who
in
the
interim
had
taken
Corbes
,
and
Clermont
.
The
King
caus'd
a
Declaration
to
be
publish'd
,
wherein
Conde
and
all
his
Adhaerents
were
Proclaim'd
Traytors
,
and
sent
it
to
Paris
to
be
verified
by
the
Parliament
,
which
was
never
more
puzzled
in
any
Anno
1615.
busines
;
those
that
were
averse
to
the
Match
with
Spain
,
and
favour'd
the
Mutineers
endevour'd
to
elude
the
Registring
of
the
royal
Declaration
,
alledging
that
the
Princes
of
the
bloud
being
the
prime
Peers
,
could
not
be
censur'd
there
without
their
Peers
,
and
that
the
presence
of
the
King
himself
was
requisit
,
without
which
his
bloud
could
not
be
judg'd
.
After
tough
altercations
the
voices
of
the
Court
were
reduc'd
to
two
Opinions
,
one
was
of
73.
voices
,
who
order'd
that
the
Declaration
should
be
registred
,
but
the
Person
of
the
Prince
excepted
for
a
moneth
,
during
which
time
he
should
be
warn'd
to
submit
himself
to
his
Majesty
and
all
others
should
lay
down
their
arms
.
The
other
Opinion
was
caried
by
78.
voices
,
which
was
,
that
the
Court
order'd
,
that
the
reasons
for
which
they
could
not
and
ought
not
to
proceed
,
to
verifie
the
said
Declaration
,
should
be
sent
to
the
King
;
Condé
to
make
his
quarrel
more
colourable
,
and
being
heightned
by
the
said
Arrest
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
added
divers
Articles
more
to
his
Manifesto
,
viz.
1.
That
further
research
be
made
for
the
assassinat
of
Henry
the
Great
.
2.
That
a
reformation
be
made
of
the
Kings
Counsell
.
3.
That
the
grievances
of
the
three
Estates
be
answer'd
,
with
divers
other
.
They
of
the
Religion
were
yet
Neutrals
,
and
thinking
to
fish
in
these
troubled
waters
propos'd
these
high
demands
.
-
1.
That
the
independence
of
the
French
Crown
be
declar'd
.
-
2.
That
the
Counsell
of
Trent
be
never
publish'd
in
this
Kingdom
.
-
3.
That
his
Majesty
shall
be
desir'd
to
declare
that
upon
his
Coronation
oath
for
extirpation
of
heresies
,
he
understood
not
or
comprehended
his
subjects
of
the
Religion
.
-
4.
That
in
all
public
Acts
it
shall
be
inserted
no
more
the
pretended
reform'd
Religion
,
but
only
,
Religion
.
-
5.
That
their
Ministers
shall
be
payed
by
the
King
,
&c.
These
with
divers
other
Propositions
were
first
made
at
Grenoble
where
the
King
permitted
them
to
Assemble
,
but
Lesdigueres
could
not
endure
them
there
,
therefore
they
remov'd
to
Nismes
,
and
thence
to
Rochell
,
notwithstanding
that
the
King
commanded
the
contrary
.
The
Prince
of
Condé
had
an
Agent
in
the
Assembly
,
who
much
press'd
them
to
enter
into
the
ligue
with
him
,
which
they
did
at
last
,
and
writ
a
Letter
to
the
King
of
the
cause
of
their
conjunction
with
Condé
.
And
as
the
King
was
importun'd
by
them
of
the
Religion
one
way
,
so
was
he
sollicited
by
the
Roman
Catholiques
of
Bearn
on
the
other
side
,
that
his
Majesty
would
please
to
restablish
them
in
the
possession
of
their
goods
,
whereof
they
were
depriv'd
by
Iane
d'Albret
his
paternal
granmother
.
Amongst
these
counter-distractions
,
there
came
news
unto
the
King
that
the
6000.
Suisses
which
he
had
from
the
Protestant
Cantons
,
had
quitted
his
pay
and
party
and
return'd
to
their
own
Countrey
by
the
perswasion
and
practises
of
them
of
the
Religion
.
Madame
the
Kings
sister
being
recover'd
,
He
went
to
Bourdeaux
Anno
1615.
where
the
Spanish
Ambassadour
came
to
demand
her
for
the
Prince
of
Castile
;
The
Duke
of
Guise
had
a
Procuration
to
marry
her
the
next
day
,
which
he
did
the
Cardinal
of
Sourdis
officiating
,
and
the
pietie
of
the
King
much
appear'd
in
the
ceremony
,
because
he
commanded
the
Cardinals
Chaire
should
be
put
on
a
higher
ground
then
his
.
The
same
day
the
Duke
of
Lerma
married
the
Infanta
of
Spain
in
Burgos
for
the
King
of
France
.
These
nuptial
ceremonies
being
perform'd
,
Madame
,
now
Princesse
of
Castile
,
departed
from
Bourdeaux
conducted
by
the
Duke
of
Guyse
,
and
in
regard
a
rumor
ran
that
they
of
the
Religion
,
as
also
the
Count
of
Grammont
with
others
who
were
said
to
have
ligu'd
with
Condé
,
had
way-laid
the
young
Bride
,
the
King
commanded
all
the
Regiment
of
his
gard
to
attend
her
;
putting
himself
in
the
interim
in
the
hands
of
them
of
Bourdeaux
.
The
exchange
of
the
two
Princesses
was
made
upon
a
river
call'd
Bidasso
hard
by
St.
Iohn
de
Luz
which
separats
those
two
mightie
Kingdoms
,
there
were
two
stately
Barges
to
waft
them
,
the
Spaniards
on
their
side
had
a
huge
vast
globe
representing
the
world
,
rais'd
upon
a
pavilion
very
high
which
made
an
ostentous
shew
;
The
Duke
of
Guise
took
exception
at
it
,
and
protested
he
would
never
bring
o're
the
Princesse
till
it
was
taken
down
,
which
was
done
accordingly
.
The
next
day
the
young
Queen
came
to
Bayon
,
where
Luynes
,
then
favorit
to
the
King
,
attended
her
with
a
Letter
all
written
by
the
King
himself
in
these
words
.
Madame
,
since
I
cannot
,
according
to
my
desire
,
find
my self
neer
you
,
at
your
entrance
into
my
Kingdom
,
to
put
you
in
possession
of
the
power
I
have
,
as
also
of
my
entire
affection
to
love
and
serve
you
;
I
send
towards
you
Luynes
one
of
my
confident'st
servants
to
salute
you
in
my
name
,
and
tell
you
,
that
you
are
expected
by
Me
with
much
impatience
to
offer
unto
you
my Self
.
I
pray
therefore
receive
him
favorably
,
and
to
beleeve
what
he
shall
tell
you
,
Madame
,
from
your
most
deer
friend
and
servant
Lewis
.
Luynes
deliver'd
her
also
from
the
King
two
rich
Standards
of
Diamonds
which
she
receiv'd
and
kiss'd
;
and
from
her
table
at
Supper
She
sent
a
dish
of
meat
unto
him
;
In
the
morning
She
return'd
this
Answer
to
the
King
.
Sir
,
I
much
rejoyc'd
at
the
good
news
Luynes
brought
Me
of
your
Majesties
health
,
I
come
therewith
,
being
most
desirous
to
arrive
where
I
may
serve
my
Mother
,
and
so
I
am
making
hast
to
that
purpose
,
and
to
kisse
your
Majesties
hand
,
whom
God
preserve
as
I
desire
:
Anne
.
Being
come
afterwards
to
Bourdeaux
,
they
both
receiv'd
the
nuptial
benediction
in
magnificence
,
according
to
the
qualitie
of
the
act
and
the
persons
,
and
medals
were
made
and
thrown
up
and
down
with
this
Motto
—
aeternae
foedera
Pacis
,
pledges
of
eternal
peace
:
but
the
Poet
that
made
that
peece
of
verse
for
a
Motto
was
no
good
Prophet
;
Anno
1615.
for
the
eternal
peace
he
spoake
of
,
lasted
not
many
yeers
between
the
two
nations
,
who
notwithstanding
that
nature
hath
conjoyn'd
them
neer
enough
in
point
of
local
distance
,
there
being
but
a
small
river
,
whereon
the
two
Princesses
were
exchang'd
,
that
severs
them
,
yet
there
is
no
two
people
on
earth
are
further
asunder
,
and
more
differing
in
disposition
,
affections
and
interests
,
being
herein
right
Antipodes
one
to
the
other
.
By
this
alliance
is
verified
the
saying
of
the
Italian
,
that
Kings
may
wed
,
but
kingdoms
never
.
It
appears
also
hereby
,
what
a
hard
destiny
,
and
sorry
condition
attends
the
daughters
of
Soverain
Princes
,
who
are
commonly
made
sacrifices
of
State
,
and
oblations
for
Politicall
respects
,
being
also
to
be
maried
to
aliens
,
and
oft-times
to
husbands
of
a
different
Religion
,
they
are
wood
by
Proxy
,
they
must
choose
by
picture
,
fancy
upon
trust
,
and
tied
in
a
knot
indissoluble
to
one
they
never
saw
but
in
effigie
perchance
,
and
afterwards
they
must
be
contented
to
be
unpatriated
,
disterr'd
,
and
as
it
were
banish'd
for
ever
from
their
own
sweet
native
soyle
,
and
the
ayr
they
first
breath'd
:
yet
as
the
Civilian
saith
,
although
they
are
the
end
of
the
House
whence
they
come
,
they
are
the
beginning
of
that
wherein
they
enter
.
While
the
King
was
celebrating
his
nuptials
in
his
town
of
Bourdeaux
by
divers
inventions
and
exercises
of
pastime
and
pleasure
,
as
masks
,
tilting
,
playes
,
bals
,
and
dances
,
Condé
with
his
Confederats
,
leads
another
kind
of
dance
up
and
down
France
,
but
while
he
danc'd
and
revell'd
thus
,
the
poore
Countrey
sung
lachrymae
,
being
pitifully
oppress'd
,
torn
and
harass'd
in
most
parts
,
there
being
six
or
seven
armies
in
motion
on
both
sides
:
he
encreas'd
mightily
by
concourse
of
partisans
,
by
conjunction
of
them
of
the
Religion
,
and
by
divers
successfull
rencounters
;
The
King
on
the
other
side
was
at
a
very
low
ebb
,
having
exhausted
that
two
millions
and
a
half
of
liures
he
had
taken
himself
in
person
out
of
the
Bastile
,
and
being
put
to
hard
shifts
to
get
money
to
defray
his
ordinary
expences
,
the
town
of
Bourdeaux
to
her
eternal
glory
,
shew'd
herself
carefull
of
his
honor
and
supplied
him
.
Add
hereunto
that
two
whole
armies
fell
from
him
,
that
of
the
Suisse
consisting
of
6000.
and
that
under
the
Duke
of
Vendosm
being
the
greater
of
the
two
,
the
one
only
left
him
,
the
other
turn'd
against
him
,
and
the
whole
body
of
them
of
the
Religion
declar'd
it self
against
him
,
and
actually
help'd
the
other
side
:
Moreover
,
his
Parliament
at
Paris
would
not
verifie
his
Edicts
.
Yet
in
the
midst
of
all
these
straits
,
He
marcheth
resolutly
from
Bourdeaux
with
his
new
Queen
to
joyn
his
army
with
Bois
Dauphin
,
with
a
purpose
either
to
present
battaile
to
the
adverse
party
,
or
to
draw
them
to
a
treaty
;
Espernon
met
him
in
the
way
with
4000.
foot
,
and
500.
horse
.
The
Duke
of
Nevers
did
very
much
labour
and
made
journeys
to
and
fro
for
an
accommodation
,
and
his
endevors
took
so
good
effect
,
that
a
Conference
was
agreed
on
at
Lodun
;
where
Commissioners
were
appointed
,
and
did
meet
on
both
sides
:
in
the
interim
the
Duke
of
Guyse
perform'd
a
notable
exploit
,
with
2000.
of
the
Kings
prime
horses
,
wherwith
he
set
upon
three
Regiments
of
Condés
at
Nantueil
,
which
he
Anno
1616.
slew
,
took
,
and
put
to
flight
,
carrying
all
their
colours
to
the
King
for
a
present
.
Hereupon
a
suspension
of
arms
was
accorded
through
all
the
Kingdom
,
except
in
Anjou
,
Perch
,
and
the
frontiers
of
Britany
where
Vendosm
continued
all
acts
of
hostility
,
notwithstanding
that
he
had
his
Deputy
at
the
Conference
.
The
King
was
then
advanc'd
to
Chastel
le
Heraud
,
where
Villeroy
deliver'd
him
the
Articles
of
the
Truce
sign'd
by
the
Princes
,
and
where
a
Legat
came
from
the
Pope
to
deliver
him
the
Imperial
Sword
,
and
to
the
Queen
the
Rosetree
of
flowers
,
and
leaves
of
gold
.
Thence
the
King
went
to
Blois
where
after
a
long
debate
,
an
Edict
of
Pacification
was
publish'd
upon
the
Treaty
of
Lodun
,
which
consisted
of
54.
Articles
,
wherein
all
the
Princes
,
with
their
adhaerents
,
as
also
They
of
the
Religion
found
satisfaction
,
and
divers
persons
of
base
condition
were
nominated
therein
,
which
the
world
cryed
shame
upon
.
By
this
Edict
the
King
approv'd
of
all
actions
pass'd
,
as
having
bin
done
for
his
Service
,
and
by
consequence
tacitly
disadvow'd
what
He
and
his
Counsell
had
ordain'd
to
the
contrary
.
The
former
Arrests
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
of
Paris
which
the
King
had
suspended
were
reestablish'd
,
and
they
of
the
Counsell
of
State
annull'd
,
and
many
high
demands
were
accorded
to
them
of
the
Religion
;
The
Chancelor
Sillery
,
and
divers
others
who
were
the
Kings
Favorits
before
,
were
outed
of
their
offices
.
Besides
the
said
Edict
there
were
also
secret
Articles
condescended
unto
,
containing
rewards
and
honors
to
some
particular
men
in
lieu
of
punishment
and
they
were
presented
in
a
privat
close
way
to
the
Parliament
to
be
verified
with
the
gran
Edict
;
The
Court
wav'd
them
a
while
,
but
afterwards
by
expresse
commandment
of
the
Kings
,
and
by
a
Declaration
he
made
that
those
secret
Articles
contain'd
no
more
then
what
was
granted
in
the
secret
Articles
of
the
Edict
of
Nants
already
verified
by
the
same
Court
,
the
businesse
pass'd
,
though
with
much
reluctancy
,
for
if
those
of
Nants
were
verified
,
what
need
these
being
the
same
,
have
a
second
verification
?
This
,
as
it
were
enforc'd
Verification
,
was
accompagnied
with
Letters
Patents
from
the
King
in
special
favor
to
the
Prince
of
Condé
;
and
others
Letters
in
favor
of
them
of
the
Religion
,
by
which
his
Majesty
declar'd
,
not
to
have
understood
his
subjects
of
the
Reform'd
pretended
Religion
in
the
Oath
and
Protestation
he
had
made
at
his
Coronation
,
to
employ
his
sword
and
power
for
the
extirpation
of
heresies
;
which
put
the
world
in
an
astonishment
,
because
it
made
the
meaning
of
the
Taker
of
that
Oath
,
and
of
the
Prelat
who
administred
it
,
to
differ
.
This
turn'd
afterwards
rather
to
the
disadvantage
then
the
benefit
of
the
Demanders
,
for
those
hard
and
high
termes
which
reflected
so
much
upon
the
conscience
of
a
yong
King
,
stuck
deep
in
his
breast
,
nor
could
he
ever
digest
them
,
as
will
appear
in
the
ensuing
Story
:
Nor
was
his
honor
thought
much
to
suffer
hereby
,
being
newly
come
out
of
his
nonage
,
little
vers'd
in
the
art
of
Government
,
and
having
not
attain'd
that
courage
and
yeers
which
use
to
strike
awe
into
Subjects
.
Anno
1616.
This
shrew'd
tempest
being
pass'd
,
the
weather
broak
up
and
clear'd
;
And
the
King
brought
his
new
Queen
to
Paris
,
having
surmounted
such
a
world
of
difficulties
,
and
waded
through
a
sea
of
troubles
;
he
had
bin
absent
thence
neer
upon
a
twelvemoneth
,
therefore
you
may
well
imagin
with
what
joy
,
and
triumph
the
Parisians
receiv'd
him
;
Observable
it
is
that
in
this
voyage
the
King
notwithstanding
that
he
had
condescended
to
hard
capitulations
,
yet
he
attain'd
his
main
ends
,
which
was
to
perfect
the
Alliance
with
Spain
,
and
to
fetch
home
his
wife
in
safety
,
which
he
did
maugre
the
great
Martiall
oppositions
that
were
made
by
most
of
the
Princes
of
France
who
malign'd
the
match
.
In
this
yeer
there
happen'd
some
ill-favor'd
jarrs
in
Italy
twixt
the
Dukes
of
Savoy
,
and
Mantova
,
about
Monferrat
;
The
King
employed
thither
the
Marquis
of
Coeuures
to
compose
the
difference
,
but
he
return'd
without
doing
any
good
,
notwithstanding
that
the
Ambassador
of
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
joyn'd
with
him
;
He
sent
afterwards
the
Marquis
of
Rambovillet
,
who
caried
himself
with
more
addresse
,
for
he
tamper'd
with
the
affections
of
the
French
and
Suisses
,
which
made
the
better
part
of
the
Duke
of
Savoys
army
,
with
such
dexterity
,
that
the
Duke
entring
into
a
diffidence
of
them
,
hearkned
to
a
Treaty
.
Don
Pedro
de
Toledo
then
Governor
of
Milan
was
arm'd
for
the
Mantovan
,
and
by
this
Treaty
both
Parties
were
to
disband
;
in
the
interim
if
the
Spaniard
attempted
any
thing
upon
Monferrat
,
France
should
assist
his
Highnes
of
Savoy
.
But
the
Spaniard
though
he
attempted
nothing
,
yet
he
reinforc'd
his
Troupes
,
which
struck
an
apprehension
of
fear
into
the
Venetians
(
who
of
all
Nations
are
most
eagle-ey'd
to
foresee
dangers
)
because
there
was
a
small
difference
twixt
them
,
and
the
Archduke
of
Grats
about
the
Uscochi
,
which
made
them
confederat
,
and
co-arme
with
the
Savoyard
:
there
were
great
Forces
on
both
sides
,
and
Don
Pedro
took
Verselli
,
&
Damian
,
but
his
Majesty
of
France
employ'd
thither
Mons.
de
Bethune
,
who
procur'd
a
Treaty
in
Pavia
to
that
end
,
which
took
effect
;
but
the
Spaniard
afterwards
delaying
to
give
up
Vercelli
,
Modene
Luynes
kinsman
was
sent
thither
who
did
the
work
;
The
difference
also
twixt
the
Republic
and
the
Archduke
of
Grats
was
accommoded
by
French
intercession
,
so
that
in
lesse
then
a
twelve
moneths
,
four
Ambassadors
went
from
France
to
Italy
.
About
this
time
the
Lord
Hayes
,
afterwards
Earl
of
Carlile
,
came
in
a
very
splendid
equippage
to
Paris
,
to
congratulate
,
in
his
Majestie
of
Great
Britain's
name
,
1.
The
alliance
with
Spain
:
2.
The
arrivall
of
the
new
Queen
:
3.
The
Kings
return
to
Paris
:
4.
The
end
of
the
late
wars
.
The
French
Chroniclers
relate
that
his
chiefest
arrand
was
to
propound
a
Match
between
the
Prince
of
Wales
,
(
now
King
of
England
)
and
the
Lady
Christina
,
second
daughter
to
Henry
the
Great
;
but
they
are
much
mistaken
;
for
the
said
Ambassador
might
happily
have
instructions
to
look
upon
and
view
the
said
Lady
,
but
for
any
overture
of
mariage
,
much
lesse
any
proposition
there
was
none

1616.
intents
of
England
ayming
then
more
southward
,
and
there
was
matter
enough
for
an
Ambassador
extraordinary
besides
at
that
time
.
The
King
,
the
two
Queens
,
and
the
whole
Court
being
now
settled
at
Paris
,
the
discontented
Princes
repair'd
also
thither
,
but
Conde
being
newly
recovered
of
a
dangerous
sicknes
,
(
which
some
took
as
a
judgement
upon
him
)
lagg'd
behind
,
and
excus'd
his
coming
till
all
the
Articles
of
the
late
Treaty
were
perform'd
,
whereunto
the
King
may
be
said
to
be
no
lesse
then
compell'd
,
being
,
among
other
ties
forc'd
to
revoke
part
of
the
solemn
Oth
he
took
at
his
Coronation
,
that
therby
they
of
the
Religion
might
rest
contented
:
At
last
Conde
came
,
and
was
entred
into
a
perfect
redintegration
of
grace
and
favor
at
Court
with
the
rest
of
his
Confederats
.
So
after
such
turbid
times
there
was
an
intervall
of
faire
weather
,
but
the
Ayer
was
suddenly
ore
'
cast
again
with
clowds
,
and
the
chief
Meteor
whence
they
sprung
was
the
power
and
privacy
of
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
at
Court
.
The
Queen
Mother
had
advice
of
certain
clandestine
meetings
,
and
secret
consultations
held
to
alter
the
Government
,
and
to
demolish
Ancre
;
hereupon
Themines
(
who
receiv'd
the
Truncheon
to
be
Marshall
the
same
day
)
apprehended
the
Prince
of
Conde
in
the
Louure
,
and
carried
him
thence
to
prison
;
the
report
hereof
startled
divers
others
,
and
old
Bovillon
being
then
at
a
Sermon
in
Charenton
,
durst
not
come
back
to
look
upon
the
Bastile
;
so
he
with
the
Dukes
of
Mayn
,
Nevers
,
Guyse
and
divers
other
retir'd
and
arm'd
under
pretence
of
reforming
of
abuses
in
the
State
,
and
for
the
public
good
.
Poore
France
,
how
often
hath
privat
interest
of
some
aspiring
spirits
bin
term'd
in
thee
by
the
specious
name
of
Public
good
?
How
often
have
thy
discontented
Grandees
ground
the
faces
of
thy
innocent
peasants
?
How
often
hast
thou
turn'd
the
sword
into
thine
own
bowels
,
and
swomm
in
the
blood
of
thine
own
children
?
How
often
have
thy
Towns
bin
turn'd
to
Hospitals
,
thy
fields
to
desarts
under
the
gilded
pretext
of
Reformation
?
The
arrest
of
Conde
alarm'd
all
France
,
and
a
politic
rumour
was
spread
in
Paris
that
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
had
murther'd
him
in
the
Louure
,
though
he
was
then
at
Amiens
100.
miles
off
.
This
made
the
Beast
with
many
heads
run
furiously
to
his
House
in
the
suburbs
of
Saint
German
,
which
they
sack'd
and
plunder'd
most
pitifully
,
they
unplank'd
his
roomes
,
grub'd
up
his
trees
,
and
committed
divers
barbarismes
besides
.
The
King
caus'd
a
Declaration
to
be
publish'd
full
of
vigorous
expressions
tending
to
this
purpose
.
Lewis
by
the
grace
of
God
King
of
France
and
Navarr
,
to
all
who
shall
see
these
present
Letters
,
greeting
.
It
is
with
incredible
regret
which
pierceth
Our
very
heart
,
that
We
must
so
often
employ
Our
Authority
to
represse
the
mischievous
desseins
of
them
,
who
seek
the
raising
of
their
fortunes
,
in
the
ruines
of
Our
Estates
,
and
in
the
prodigious
cruelty
of
civill
wars
,
take
an
unbridled
libertie
to
doe
what
law
and
reason
forbids
:
And
We
are
the
more
sensible
hereof
,
because
the
remedies
We
must
use
,
for
the
safety
of
our
Person
,
and
the
welfare
of
this
Kingdom
,
must
diffame
our
own
blood
,
and
render
it
culpable
of
impiety
both
against
Us
,
who
are
in
place
of
a
Father
Anno
1616.
to
our
subjects
,
as
also
against
their
own
Countrey
which
is
reverenc'd
as
a
Mother
by
all
people
though
never
so
barbarous
.
So
he
goes
on
to
relate
the
Treaty
at
Lodun
,
and
the
last
Pacification
which
had
cost
him
twenty
millions
of
Liures
;
and
what
grace
he
had
done
to
Conde
and
his
Complices
.
Yet
the
exces
of
Our
grace
and
favor
hath
not
bin
able
to
represse
the
disordinat
wills
of
them
,
who
find
no
rest
but
in
trouble
,
and
ground
their
hopes
upon
Our
destruction
:
for
before
and
after
the
return
of
Our
Cousin
the
Prince
of
Conde
to
Paris
,
there
have
bin
Nocturnall
Assemblies
held
in
Saint
Martin
and
other
places
with
consultations
to
debauch
and
abuse
the
people
,
and
undermine
those
who
have
Martiall
Offices
under
us
,
and
to
excite
them
to
commotion
;
Curats
and
Preachers
have
bin
tampered
withall
to
vent
scandalous
Doctrin
,
and
meanes
were
consulted
on
to
seize
upon
Our
Royall
Person
,
and
our
most
honored
Mother
,
and
to
Cantonize
France
under
the
specious
vayle
of
reforming
the
State
:
All
which
hath
bin
told
us
by
some
of
the
best
of
Our
subjects
who
were
present
at
some
of
their
consultations
,
and
close
meetings
;
And
We
were
also
advis'd
by
forren
Ambassadors
to
have
a
care
of
our self
,
&c.
This
was
the
substance
of
the
Kings
Declaration
,
but
all
would
not
do
,
to
contain
the
Princes
within
the
bounds
of
obedience
,
many
of
them
had
retir'd
to
Picardy
,
and
seiz'd
upon
divers
places
which
they
fortified
apace
.
A
little
after
the
Prince
of
Conde
was
clap'd
up
,
the
Duke
of
Vendosm
was
seiz'd
on
,
but
he
scap'd
by
a
wile
;
The
Chancelor
and
Secretaries
of
State
with
other
Officers
were
chang'd
;
And
in
this
hurly burly
the
young
Bishop
of
Lucon
afterwards
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
,
having
bin
design'd
for
Ambassador
to
Spain
,
was
made
principall
Secretary
of
State
.
The
Marshal
of
Ancre
,
notwithstanding
that
he
had
understood
how
he
was
hated
in
Paris
,
and
that
his
House
was
so
plunder'd
in
a
popular
furie
,
yet
was
he
nothing
daunted
,
but
comes
boldly
to
Court
,
and
presently
three
Armies
were
rais'd
and
appointed
to
represse
the
Mutiners
;
One
under
the
Duke
of
Guyse
who
was
charm'd
to
come
in
by
the
Queen
Mother
:
The
second
under
Marshall
Montigny
;
and
the
third
under
the
Count
of
Auvergne
,
(
who
was
freed
from
his
11.
yeers
close
imprisonment
in
the
Bastile
for
that
purpose
)
and
had
already
besieg'd
the
Duke
of
Mayne
at
Soissons
,
and
much
straitned
him
.
While
this
huge
storme
was
dropping
pitifully
upon
poor
France
,
there
were
secret
consultations
held
by
some
in
the
Louure
how
to
hurle
Him
into
the
Sea
who
was
the
cause
of
the
tempest
,
which
was
cryed
up
to
be
the
foresaid
Ancre
.
He
knew
too
well
how
he
was
malign'd
in
Court
and
Countrey
,
and
the
young
Kings
affection
towards
him
began
now
to
brandle
,
and
all
this
was
by
the
suggestions
of
Luynes
,
who
was
one
of
the
greatest
Confidentst
the
King
had
,
having
bin
his
servant
from
his
childhood
,
and
was
vers'd
in
his
genius
more
then
any
:
Ancre
had
practis'd
to
remove
him
from
the
Kings
Person
,
with
some
others
whom
Anno
1616.
he
suspected
to
do
him
ill
offices
.
Besides
this
fewd
'twixt
the
King
and
Princes
,
there
was
another
petty
war
then
a
foot
betwixt
the
Duke
of
Espernon
,
and
the
Rochellers
,
the
ground
whereof
was
that
they
would
not
acknowledge
him
Governor
of
the
Countrey
of
Aunis
,
and
of
their
Town
,
which
he
pretended
to
derive
by
Patent
from
the
raign
of
Henry
the
third
.
He
had
also
a
grudge
unto
them
that
they
had
debauch'd
the
conscience
of
the
Count
of
Candalle
his
son
by
inducing
him
to
abjure
his
Religion
,
and
to
professe
theirs
;
Espernon
was
commanded
to
wave
that
quarrel
,
and
to
come
to
assist
against
the
Princes
:
divers
others
were
wrought
upon
to
abandon
their
party
;
amongst
the
rest
the
Duke
of
Nevers
was
much
sought
,
and
he
refusing
,
he
was
accus'd
to
have
said
,
That
he
was
descended
of
a
better
House
then
the
Queen
Mother
;
which
he
utterly
disavowed
,
and
offer'd
to
combat
the
raiser
of
that
report
in
Duel
.
The
obloquy
and
hatred
of
Ancre
encreased
daily
,
and
the
executing
of
Colonel
Stuard
and
Hurtevant
,
with
erecting
of
new
gibets
in
divers
places
about
Paris
,
and
one
upon
the
new
Bridge
hard
by
the
Louure
in
terrorem
,
—
all
which
was
imputed
to
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
,
exasperated
the
humors
of
the
Parisians
against
him
more
and
more
,
in
so
much
that
it
was
an
easie
thing
to
be
a
Prophet
what
would
become
of
him
.
Luynes
with
others
at
Court
infusd
daily
new
thoughts
of
diffidence
of
him
into
the
young
King
,
who
had
taken
exception
at
some
personall
comportment
of
his
,
by
putting
on
his
Hat
when
he
play'd
with
him
at
Biliards
:
so
in
a
close
Cabinet
consultation
twixt
the
King
,
Luynes
,
and
Vitry
who
was
Captain
of
his
Guard
,
the
King
gave
him
command
to
seize
upon
the
said
Marshall
of
Ancre
,
and
in
case
of
resistance
to
kill
him
;
The
businesse
was
carried
wonderfull
close
,
and
two
dayes
after
the
Marshall
entring
the
Louure
,
Vitry
was
prepar'd
with
his
guard
about
him
,
and
while
the
Marshall
was
reading
of
a
Letter
,
Vitry
comes
and
grapples
him
by
the
shoulder
,
and
told
him
he
was
commanded
by
the
King
to
arrest
him
;
Me
?
said
Ancre
,
yes
you
by
the
death
of
God
,
(
mort
Dieu
)
repli'd
Vitry
:
hereupon
Ancre
laying
his
hand
upon
his
sword
to
deliver
it
,
as
most
thought
,
Vitry
with
a
loud
voyce
cri'd
out
,
Kill
him
,
thereupon
he
received
three
Pistols
shots
into
his
body
,
and
was
presently
dispatch'd
;
Vitry
with
naked
sword
in
his
hand
cri'd
out
,
that
none
should
stir
;
For
he
had
executed
but
the
Kings
commands
.
Hereupon
those
hundred
gentlemen
which
had
attended
the
Marshall
that
morning
to
the
Queens
Court
where
he
was
us'd
to
go
the
back
way
slunk
away
:
and
not
one
drawn
sword
appear'd
amongst
them
.
The
King
being
above
in
a
gallery
and
hearing
a
noise
below
,
ask'd
what
the
matter
was
?
one
answerd
,
that
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
was
kill'd
,
and
being
told
the
manner
,
he
said
,
I
will
make
good
what
Vitry
hath
done
,
and
giving
a
caper
,
he
said
,
I
am
now
King
of
France
,
I
have
no
competitor
.
Vitry
presently
after
broke
into
Leonora's
chamber
Ancres
wife
seiz'd
upon
her
person
,
upon
all
her
Trunks
and
Cabinets
,
Anno
1616.
where
in
gold
,
and
jewels
there
was
the
value
of
above
an
hundred
thousand
pounds
sterling
.
Her
Chamber
was
next
the
Queen
Mothers
,
who
sending
in
for
Vitry
,
ask'd
him
without
any
shew
of
dismay
whether
he
had
kill'd
the
Marshall
;
Yes
Madame
,
said
he
:
and
why
?
because
the
King
had
commanded
me
.
Ancres
body
was
buried
in
a
little
Church
hard
by
the
Louure
,
and
stones
laid
and
flatted
upon
the
grave
,
but
the
next
morning
,
the
laquays
of
the
Court
,
and
rabble
of
the
City
,
came
and
digg'd
up
his
coffin
,
toare
his
winding
sheet
,
and
dragg'd
his
body
through
the
gutters
,
and
hang'd
it
upon
the
new
gibet
which
he
had
commanded
to
be
set
up
upon
the
new
bridge
,
where
they
cut
off
his
nose
,
eares
,
and
genitories
,
which
they
sent
for
a
Present
to
the
Duke
of
Mayne
at
Soissons
,
and
nayl'd
his
eares
to
the
gates
of
Paris
,
the
rest
of
his
body
was
burn'd
,
and
part
of
the
ashes
hurl'd
into
the
river
,
and
part
into
the
ayer
.
His
wife
was
then
imprison'd
,
search'd
and
raz'd
for
a
Witch
,
though
little
or
no
proofs
(
God
wot
)
were
produc'd
against
her
,
only
that
she
employ'd
some
Jews
;
as
also
that
she
had
bewitch'd
a
Spanish
Ginet
the
Duke
of
Mayn
had
at
Soissons
which
he
should
have
mounted
one
morning
,
but
Mounsier
Maurice
his
son
who
was
Keeper
of
one
of
the
chiefest
Academies
of
Paris
riding
him
before
,
and
the
Horse
having
pranc'd
and
curvetted
a
good
while
under
him
,
he
suddenly
fell
,
gave
a
grone
and
so
breath'd
his
last
,
and
the
Rider
was
taken
up
for
dead
,
and
continued
in
a
sleepy
trance
48.
houres
together
.
So
she
was
also
executed
afterwards
,
and
the
difference
twixt
her
husband
and
her
was
this
,
that
she
had
the
favor
to
dye
after
Sentence
was
given
,
and
he
before
,
for
his
indictment
was
made
after
his
death
,
and
then
his
sentence
pass'd
when
he
was
in
tother
world
.
Thus
Conchino
Conchini
(
a
Florentin
born
)
Marquis
of
Ancre
,
and
Marshall
of
France
was
demolish'd
,
or
rather
extinguish'd
,
in
a
most
disastrous
manner
,
and
his
wife
Leonora
Galligay
beheaded
,
who
shew'd
a
notable
Roman
resolution
at
the
block
;
their
estate
,
which
was
not
above
four
thousand
pound
sterling
per
an
.
was
given
to
Luynes
most
part
of
it
;
They
left
one
only
male
child
who
being
young
was
sent
to
Italy
,
where
he
lives
to
this
day
in
a
Noble
equippage
by
the
title
of
Earl
of
Pena
:
though
pronounced
ignoble
in
France
by
an
arrest
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
:
A
stout
man
this
Marquis
of
Ancre
was
,
a
good
Soldier
,
and
a
compleat
Courtier
,
he
was
endowed
with
divers
good
parts
,
only
he
wanted
moderation
,
and
therein
he
did
degenerat
from
an
Italian
.
There
were
divers
censures
abroad
of
this
act
of
the
young
Kings
,
and
indeed
it
was
the
worst
thing
he
did
in
all
his
life
,
being
an
act
fitter
for
the
Seraglio
,
then
his
Castle
of
the
Louure
:
for
the
wisest
sort
of
men
wonder'd
that
he
should
stain
the
walls
of
his
Court
,
with
a
Christians
bloud
in
that
manner
,
without
any
legall
proceeding
against
the
party
.
He
sent
Letters
to
the
severall
Princes
that
were
in
arms
,
to
content
them
,
as
also
to
satisfie
the
world
;
and
all
of
them
of
this
tenor
following
.
My
Cousin
,
I
doubt
not
but
in
the
cours
of
affairs
which
have
pass'd
since
Anno
1617.
the
death
of
the
late
King
my
Lord
and
Father
(
whom
God
absolve
)
you
have
observ'd
how
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
and
his
wife
abusing
my
minority
,
and
the
power
which
they
acquir'd
upon
the
spirit
of
the
Queen
my
Mother
,
have
projected
to
usurp
all
authority
,
to
dispose
absolutly
of
all
matters
of
State
,
and
to
deprive
me
of
the
means
to
take
cognisance
of
mine
own
affairs
;
a
dessein
which
they
have
push'd
on
so
far
,
that
hitherto
there
hath
remain'd
unto
me
but
the
sole
name
of
a
King
,
and
that
it
was
a
kind
of
capital
crime
for
my
Officers
and
subjects
to
have
acces
unto
me
,
and
to
entertain
me
with
any
serious
discours
;
which
it
pleasing
God
to
make
me
perceive
,
and
to
point
out
the
danger
which
my
Person
and
State
were
like
to
incur
by
such
an
exorbitant
ambition
,
being
compell'd
by
some
considerations
,
and
inspir'd
by
Counsel
from
above
,
I
resolv'd
to
secure
the
person
of
the
said
Marshall
,
and
therefore
I
commanded
the
Captain
of
my
Guard
to
arrest
him
within
my
Castle
the
Louure
;
which
he
attempting
to
do
,
the
said
Marshall
being
well
accompagnied
offerd
to
oppose
my
said
command
,
and
certain
blows
being
given
the
said
Marquis
fell
down
dead
,
&c.
So
he
tells
him
that
he
intends
for
the
future
to
take
the
reins
of
Government
into
his
own
hands
.
Wherefore
he
exhorts
him
to
returne
neer
his
Person
,
and
take
his
due
rank
in
Court
and
Counsell
.
And
concludes
that
if
he
renders
proofs
answerable
to
the
esteem
he
makes
of
his
affection
towards
him
,
he
will
be
ready
to
acknowledge
it
.
Many
Letters
went
abroad
from
the
King
of
this
tenor
,
and
they
took
such
effect
that
all
arms
were
thrown
down
every
where
,
and
the
Princes
repair'd
to
Court
:
Now
and
not
before
it
may
be
said
that
the
King
began
to
raign
:
by
this
change
,
France
chang'd
her
countenance
,
old
Officers
were
restor'd
to
their
places
;
Sillery
was
made
Chancelor
again
,
Du
Vair
,
and
Villeroy
were
restor'd
with
divers
others
;
and
the
Bishop
of
Lucon
left
the
Secretariship
of
State
,
and
retir'd
,
though
he
was
offer'd
to
be
still
of
the
Privy
Counsell
if
he
would
stay
.
The
Queen
Mother
shew'd
her self
a
true
Queen
of
her
passions
herein
,
for
though
her
favourit
,
and
foster
sister
were
torn
away
from
her
thus
,
yet
such
was
her
temper
,
that
she
discover'd
no
extraordinary
resentment
,
that
which
she
said
,
she
took
ill
was
,
that
the
King
did
not
impart
unto
her
his
intentions
,
for
she
would
willingly
have
concurr'd
to
do
all
things
to
his
contentment
;
The
King
appointed
her
the
Castle
of
Blois
to
reside
in
,
and
coming
to
take
his
leave
of
her
,
he
thanked
her
for
the
pains
she
had
taken
in
Government
,
but
he
resolv'd
to
sit
now
at
the
helme
himself
,
and
if
she
would
be
a
good
Mother
to
him
,
she
should
find
him
a
good
Son
.
The
Marchiones
of
Ancre
was
not
executed
till
the
Queen
was
gone
from
Paris
,
at
her
arraignment
she
shew'd
an
Amazonian
courage
,
and
the
subtilty
of
her
spirit
put
all
men
in
admiration
;
she
denied
,
with
much
disdain
,
all
kind
of
witchcraft
and
sorcery
,
(
and
indeed
the
proofs
were
little
or
none
at
all
against
her
)
She
confess'd
that
she
had
convey'd
some
moneys
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
but
it
was
either
for
the
Kings
service
,
or
for
her
own
utility
;
for
the
first
,
it
deserv'd
rather
a
reward
,
for
the
second
there
was
no
law
against
any
stranger
to
do
the
like
;
she
Anno
1617.
acknowledg'd
to
have
receiv'd
divers
favors
of
the
Queen
her
Mistresse
in
whose
service
she
had
employ'd
her
whole
life
,
and
to
receive
favors
from
great
Princes
was
never
held
a
crime
till
now
;
she
often
dehorted
her
husband
from
some
violent
courses
he
took
,
which
made
her
make
a
separation
of
her
estate
from
his
,
fearing
that
some
funestous
accident
might
befall
him
;
but
it
being
granted
that
she
had
conceal'd
the
defauts
of
her
husband
,
there
was
never
any
law
that
could
punish
,
much
lesse
condemn
a
wife
for
that
;
In
conclusion
,
she
defended
herself
with
that
caution
and
courage
,
that
many
of
the
Judges
were
of
opinion
that
banishment
was
enough
for
her
;
but
the
quality
of
the
times
,
and
state
of
things
transported
the
Judges
to
extraordinary
rigor
.
Upon
the
Scaffold
she
carried
herself
with
such
a
scorn
of
death
,
and
with
that
exemplary
piety
and
patience
,
that
she
mollified
the
hearts
of
all
the
spectators
,
and
sent
hundreds
away
with
wet
eyes
,
amongst
whom
were
divers
of
those
who
had
embrued
their
hands
so
barbarously
in
her
husbands
bloud
.
Vitry
had
the
Truncheon
to
be
Marshall
of
France
hereupon
,
and
out
of
the
ruins
of
Ancre
Luynes
rais'd
his
fortunes
,
which
may
be
said
to
be
three
stories
higher
,
for
he
suddenly
hois'd
not
only
himself
but
his
two
brethren
,
Cadenet
&
Brand
,
to
an
incredible
height
,
which
made
one
fix
upon
the
Louure
gate
this
pasquil
Aux
trois
Rois
,
at
the
the
three
Kings
;
some
cryed
out
that
the
tyranny
was
not
chang'd
but
only
the
tyrant
;
That
the
same
Tavern
stood
still
,
only
it
had
a
new
bush
.
Luynes
had
given
him
the
Marquisat
of
Ancre
,
and
all
the
Stable
possessions
of
the
Marshal
:
but
Du
Vair
a
good
while
would
not
let
it
passe
the
Great
Seal
,
in
regard
that
by
an
Arrest
of
the
Court
of
Parliament
all
their
Stable
goods
were
confiscated
and
reunited
to
the
Crown
,
and
he
stood
stiffe
in
this
untill
the
King
had
given
him
the
Bishoprick
of
Lysieux
,
and
having
then
fixed
the
Seal
,
the
French
Pasquin
began
to
tell
him
,
Et
Homo
factus
sum
;
a
little
after
the
King
married
his
Favorit
Luynes
to
the
Duke
of
Montbazons
daughter
,
He
gave
the
Duke
twenty
thousand
pound
sterling
,
and
made
him
Governor
of
the
Isle
of
France
,
the
Duke
of
Main
being
translated
to
Guyen
.
The
King
desiring
to
be
in
good
intelligence
with
all
his
Subjects
,
fell
upon
a
new
reach
of
Policy
by
the
advice
of
his
Counsell
,
which
was
,
that
in
regard
he
had
found
that
the
Assembly
of
the
States
General
brought
with
it
more
trouble
then
utility
,
in
regard
of
the
discrepant
humors
and
interests
which
such
a
number
of
men
of
various
conditions
,
Professions
and
Religions
carried
with
them
,
instead
of
the
States
General
,
he
convokes
an
Assembly
of
notables
as
he
term'd
it
,
compos'd
of
some
selected
Persons
out
of
every
Order
,
whereunto
should
be
added
some
Counsellor
out
of
every
Court
of
Parliament
.
Which
being
fewer
in
number
would
not
breed
such
a
confusion
;
And
this
Assembly
should
be
equipollent
to
that
of
the
States
General
,
and
their
acts
so
obligatory
.
To
this
end
the
Kings
Writs
were
issued
out
,
the
day
and
place
appointed
which
was
the
Citie
of
Roven
;
All
Anno
1617.
solemnly
met
there
in
the
Archbishops
Hall
,
where
after
the
King
,
the
Chancelor
made
a
grave
Oration
,
that
his
Majesties
pious
intentions
to
call
them
thither
,
was
to
regulat
and
police
the
State
,
and
to
ease
the
Subject
.
The
first
four
daies
were
spent
in
settling
the
ranks
of
the
Deputies
;
and
a
great
clash
fell
twixt
the
Nobles
,
and
the
Deputies
of
Parliaments
,
whom
the
Nobles
said
they
had
reason
to
precede
,
in
regard
they
took
them
to
be
but
Members
of
the
third
Estate
,
but
they
disadvow'd
that
qualitie
,
and
stood
to
their
Soverain
Jurisdiction
which
extended
over
the
Nobles
as
well
as
other
persons
;
nor
could
they
be
call'd
the
third
Estate
,
because
they
never
us'd
to
meet
in
the
Assembly
of
the
States
Generall
;
The
Nobles
alledg'd
the
lustre
of
their
birth
,
the
excellence
of
the
Profession
of
Armes
above
the
gown
,
strengthning
their
cause
with
divers
other
arguments
:
but
the
difference
being
left
undecided
,
the
King
resolv'd
that
the
Nobles
should
be
plac'd
about
the
Person
of
the
King
;
but
with
this
proviso
,
that
it
should
not
prejudice
the
second
rank
they
have
by
Fundamentall
right
In
the
convention
of
the
States
Generall
,
which
is
next
the
Clergie
;
and
for
delivering
of
Opinions
,
the
King
inordred
,
that
in
matters
concerning
the
Church
the
Clergie
should
vote
first
,
in
matters
of
War
the
Nobles
,
in
matters
of
Law
the
Officers
of
Justice
,
in
matters
of
the
Revenue
of
the
Crown
,
the
Exchequer
men
,
and
Financiers
.
In
this
Assembly
were
agitated
and
concluded
many
wholsome
things
;
First
,
-
1.
That
the
Secret
affairs
of
State
be
communicated
to
few
,
and
those
of
known
probity
,
and
prudence
,
for
fear
of
discovery
.
-
2.
That
the
expence
of
the
Kings
House
,
and
the
salary
of
Military
men
be
regulated
.
-
3.
That
Pensions
be
retrench'd
.
-
4.
That
a
course
be
taken
to
regulat
gifts
and
rewards
which
are
to
be
made
in
silver
.
-
5.
That
it
be
illegal
to
sell
any
Offices
in
the
Kings
House
,
in
War
,
or
Government
.
-
6.
That
reversion
of
Offices
,
and
Benefices
be
restrain'd
,
because
it
gives
occasion
to
attempt
upon
the
lifes
of
the
living
Incumbents
,
and
takes
away
the
Kings
Liberty
,
to
advance
persons
of
merit
,
taking
also
from
the
persons
themselfs
,
the
encouragement
of
doing
better
by
hope
of
advancement
.
-
7.
That
the
Annuel
right
be
suppress'd
.
-
8.
That
the
venality
of
Offices
be
prohibited
.
-
9.
That
small
wrangling
Courts
,
and
the
number
of
Pettifoggers
be
retrench'd
,
and
that
all
causes
be
brought
to
the
Soverain
Courts
.
These
in
grosse
were
the
Results
of
this
Assembly
which
proceeded
with
a
great
deal
of
harmony
,
the
King
himself
was
present
most
of
the
time
,
and
in
his
absence
Monsieur
presided
;
There
pass'd
also
a
Law
to
permit
the
Jesuits
to
open
their
Colledg
of
Clermont
in
Paris
,
and
to
endoctrinat
young
youth
in
the
Sciences
;
But
the
Universitie
of
Paris
to
make
this
Edict
illusory
,
made
two
Decrees
,
by
the
first
,
it
was
ordred
that
none
should
be
admitted
to
the
course
of
Theologie
,
Anno
1618.
unlesse
he
have
studied
three
yeers
under
the
public
Professors
of
the
Faculty
of
Theologie
in
Sorbon
;
and
that
he
be
put
to
his
oath
not
to
have
studied
in
any
other
Colledg
.
The
second
was
,
A
prohibition
to
all
Principals
of
Colledges
,
for
admitting
any
,
but
those
that
go
to
the
Lectures
of
the
Professors
of
the
said
Universitie
,
and
that
none
shall
enjoy
the
Priviledges
of
Scholarity
if
he
studieth
not
under
those
Professors
.
An
indifferent
moderat
man
said
that
there
was
no
way
to
end
this
quarrell
,
but
that
the
Jesuits
might
be
united
to
the
body
of
the
Universitie
,
and
so
submit
themselfs
entirely
to
their
Laws
and
Ordinances
.
We
will
conclude
this
lustre
with
a
horrible
fire
that
hapned
in
the
Citie
of
Paris
in
the
chief
Palace
of
Iustice
,
it
rag'd
most
in
the
great
Hall
where
the
Lawyers
and
Counsellors
use
to
meet
,
where
also
the
Statues
of
the
Kings
of
France
are
set
up
,
and
are
rank'd
according
to
the
times
of
their
raign
in
excellent
Sculpture
,
all
which
were
utterly
reduc'd
to
cendres
,
with
the
Table
of
Marble
about
which
the
Judges
were
us'd
to
sit
;
The
cause
of
this
fire
is
to
this
day
unknown
;
but
it
might
be
very
well
interpreted
to
be
a
visible
judgment
from
heaven
upon
that
place
and
Palace
for
the
hard
measure
of
Justice
,
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
and
his
Lady
had
received
a
little
before
;
Which
makes
me
call
to
mind
a
Latin
verse
,
I
have
read
upon
a
Stat-House
in
Delph
in
Holland
,
which
had
bin
burnt
in
like
maner
and
reedified
,
not
one
other
house
about
it
receiving
any
hurt
.

An
end
of
the
second
Lustre
.
The
third
Lustre
of
the
Raign
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
.
WE
ended
the
last
Lustre
with
the
end
of
the
old
Palace
of
Justice
Anno
1619.
in
Paris
by
an
unknown
furious
fire
,
which
made
the
disaster
more
horrid
.
We
will
begin
this
with
bone-fires
of
joy
,
for
the
Mariage
of
the
Lady
Christina
,
second
daughter
of
Henry
the
Great
,
to
the
Prince
of
Piedmont
,
who
came
in
Person
to
Paris
to
do
his
own
busines
:
he
comported
himself
with
that
addresse
,
that
politenes
,
that
bravery
of
spirit
accompagnied
with
such
gentlenes
,
that
he
gain'd
much
upon
the
French
Nation
;
The
busines
was
not
long
a
finishing
,
for
Henry
the
Great
was
well
pleas'd
with
an
ouverture
that
had
bin
made
formerly
by
the
said
Prince
for
the
Eldest
daughter
,
who
was
maried
to
Spain
:
She
had
for
her
Dower
1200.
thousand
French
liures
,
which
comes
to
one
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
pound
sterling
;
besides
the
rich
jewels
she
caried
with
her
.
Anno
1619.
The
Queen
Mother
was
all
this
while
at
Blois
;
and
som
ombrages
of
distrust
hung
'twixt
the
King
and
her
;
for
the
Bishop
of
Lucon
being
by
command
removed
from
her
,
Mounsieur
Roissy
was
sent
expresly
by
the
King
to
attend
her
,
whom
the
Queen
took
to
be
no
other
then
a
kind
of
Spy
,
to
watch
over
her
actions
;
nor
was
she
invited
to
the
marriage
of
her
daughter
,
which
was
solemniz'd
at
Paris
;
and
with
this
mariage
it
seems
the
King
did
consummat
his
own
by
bedding
with
the
Queen
his
wife
,
which
he
had
not
done
since
he
had
maried
her
at
Burdeaux
almost
four
yeers
before
,
where
he
lay
with
her
only
two
hours
;
and
though
this
was
done
for
fear
it
should
hinder
his
growth
,
and
enervat
his
strength
,
yet
there
were
some
whispers
that
it
was
done
with
an
intent
to
be
divorc'd
from
her
,
and
Luynes
was
blamed
for
it
;
Hereupon
he
finding
the
King
one
night
inclinable
,
took
him
out
of
his
bed
in
his
armes
,
and
casting
his
night-gown
over
him
he
carried
him
to
the
Queens
bed
;
The
Nuncio
,
and
Spanish
Ambassador
were
so
joy'd
at
this
,
that
they
presently
dispatch'd
expresses
to
carry
the
news
,
and
bonefiers
were
made
thereupon
both
in
Rome
,
and
Madrid
,
for
there
were
some
surmises
abroad
that
so
long
a
separation
from
bed
,
would
turn
in
time
to
an
aversion
,
which
might
draw
after
it
a
repudiation
,
and
so
a
divorce
.
While
the
King
was
thus
confirming
his
own
,
and
celebrating
his
sisters
Nuptialls
in
Paris
,
there
were
tydings
brought
that
his
Mother
got
out
of
Blois
Castle
,
and
was
convey'd
away
secretly
in
the
night
through
a
window
which
was
towards
the
moate
,
where
she
glided
down
a
good
height
upon
a
counter
scarp
,
and
so
made
an
escape
.
The
King
had
sent
Father
Arnoul
the
director
of
his
conscience
a
little
before
under
colour
of
complement
to
visit
her
,
but
the
design
was
to
draw
from
her
a
solemn
oath
,
that
she
would
not
come
to
the
Kings
Court
without
his
preadvertisement
,
and
approbation
,
which
oath
she
took
upon
the
Evangelists
:
He
sent
her
also
word
,
that
he
and
the
Prince
of
Piemont
now
her
son
in
law
would
come
to
visit
her
;
but
she
knew
well
enough
how
matters
were
carried
at
Court
,
and
so
she
gave
little
credit
to
those
endearments
,
fearing
there
was
too
strong
a
drug
under
the
pill
.
Her
escape
was
trac'd
by
Espernon
the
little
Gascon
Duke
who
had
bin
from
the
beginning
a
great
servant
of
Ladies
,
there
had
bin
divers
clashings
and
counterbuffs
'twixt
him
and
the
gown-men
of
the
law
;
amongst
others
Du
Vair
the
then
Lord
Keeper
and
he
could
not
agree
;
Du
Vair
did
him
ill
offices
to
Luynes
,
who
began
to
malign
him
more
and
more
.
So
the
little
Duke
had
two
mighty
enemies
at
once
,
the
one
full
of
cunning
,
the
other
of
credit
with
the
King
,
therefore
being
at
the
Town
of
Metz
,
the
King
sent
him
order
not
to
stir
thence
,
because
there
were
like
to
be
wars
in
Germany
;
Espernon
sent
answer
that
he
being
in
the
next
place
to
Germany
had
receiv'd
certain
advice
that
there
are
no
commotions
like
to
be
there
,
that
his
Majesties
service
,
and
his
own
affairs
were
all
in
a
disarray
in
Guyen
,
and
that
he
knew
not
in
what
to
serve
him
there
,
unlesse
it
Anno
1619.
were
to
convey
his
packets
to
and
fro
;
Therefore
he
humbly
desir'd
his
Majesties
permission
to
go
for
Guyen
whither
some
pressing
occasions
call'd
him
,
and
that
La
Vallette
his
son
shall
render
him
a
good
account
of
that
place
.
The
Queen
Mother
and
he
had
much
privat
intelligence
,
and
she
sent
him
an
expresse
to
complain
unto
him
of
her
hard
condition
,
and
withall
she
sent
the
Originall
of
a
late
Letter
unto
her
from
the
King
,
wherein
he
permits
her
to
go
to
any
Town
or
place
throughout
his
Dominions
(
his
own
Court
excepted
)
,
so
in
conclusion
she
prayes
and
conjures
him
as
he
was
a
Cavalier
to
help
her
out
,
and
conduct
her
to
Angoulesme
.
The
old
Duke
was
glad
of
this
advantageous
conjuncture
of
things
,
therefore
without
any
further
attendance
of
the
Kings
pleasure
,
he
suddenly
leaves
Metz
commanding
the
Gates
to
be
close
shut
for
two
dayes
after
his
departure
,
and
so
went
towards
the
Queen
Mother
with
a
resolution
to
intermingle
his
interests
and
dangers
with
hers
;
So
he
employ'd
le
Plessis
a
confident
of
his
,
who
receiv'd
the
Queen
first
of
all
out
of
the
Castle
window
▪
and
convey'd
her
over
the
river
in
the
dead
of
night
,
where
she
met
the
Archbishop
of
Tholouse
after
Cardinal
de
la
Valette
with
15.
horse
,
and
a
little
further
the
Duke
himself
with
60.
great
horse
,
for
he
would
have
no
more
,
for
making
too
great
a
noise
,
so
he
attended
her
to
Angoulesme
.
The
King
resented
to
the
quick
this
presumption
and
hardinesse
of
the
Duke
,
who
being
asked
how
he
durst
venture
upon
so
dangerous
an
enterprise
,
he
answer'd
,
Because
I
would
have
two
cables
to
my
Ship
in
a
storme
that
was
like
to
fall
upon
me
.
The
King
hereupon
frames
an
army
to
chastise
the
insolence
of
Espernon
;
the
Duke
of
Guyse
was
commanded
to
come
from
Province
,
and
the
Duke
of
Mayn
from
Guien
,
to
meet
him
about
Angoulesme
with
forces
.
Some
held
it
to
be
a
derogatory
and
unbefitting
thing
in
the
King
to
keep
such
a
stir
for
to
have
a
revenge
upon
his
own
Mother
,
and
upon
a
Vassal
,
and
an
old
Officer
of
the
Crown
,
and
so
advis'd
his
Majesty
to
go
thither
with
his
ordinary
Guards
:
Others
counsel'd
him
to
separat
the
interests
of
the
Queen
Mother
from
the
Dukes
,
and
to
send
a
person
of
quality
to
her
to
dispose
of
her
to
a
conformity
to
his
pleasure
,
and
to
leave
the
Duke
to
stand
upon
his
own
legs
.
To
which
purpose
divers
were
sent
unto
her
from
the
King
,
but
in
vain
,
for
she
could
never
be
brought
to
abandon
the
interests
of
Espernon
who
had
expos'd
himself
to
such
dangers
for
her
.
Hereupon
the
Bishop
of
Lucon
(
afterwards
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
)
who
was
retir'd
to
Avignon
,
and
had
been
in
great
esteem
with
her
formerly
,
was
sent
for
by
the
Kings
command
to
atetnd
the
Queen
,
and
being
a
man
of
eloquence
,
and
of
powerfull
reasons
,
he
moulded
the
Queens
mind
as
he
pleas'd
,
and
fitted
it
for
a
reconciliation
;
being
thus
prepar'd
,
the
King
sent
Marossan
unto
her
to
assure
her
of
the
obedience
and
love
of
a
Son
;
and
withall
to
demand
of
her
a
dimission
of
the
government
of
Normandy
for
other
places
which
she
should
have
in
exchange
.
She

Marossan
whether
Anno
1619.
he
brought
any
letters
from
the
King
about
that
,
he
said
no
,
because
the
King
at
the
first
enterview
would
speake
with
her
by
word
of
mouth
about
it
,
but
he
was
resolv'd
not
to
write
to
her
:
and
why
so
?
replied
the
Queen
.
Madame
,
said
he
,
I
have
not
in
charge
to
tell
you
the
reason
,
but
if
you
command
me
I
will
;
You
will
do
me
a
pleasure
,
said
she
;
It
is
,
Madame
,
because
the
King
having
written
unto
you
a
letter
full
of
affection
at
Blois
wherein
he
was
willing
you
might
go
into
any
other
place
within
his
Kingdom
,
you
gave
the
letter
to
the
Duke
of
Espernon
,
thereby
to
affoord
him
means
to
colour
his
conveying
you
away
from
Blois
and
conduct
you
hither
;
for
fear
therefore
that
you
would
doe
the
like
again
,
he
is
resolv'd
to
write
no
more
unto
you
of
any
matter
of
moment
.
The
Queen
enlarg'd
her self
upon
that
subject
,
saying
,
That
any
body
would
do
as
she
did
being
in
captivitie
,
there
being
nothing
that
the
brute
animals
desire
more
then
freedom
,
and
therefore
this
inclination
was
not
to
be
wondred
at
in
rationall
creatures
;
so
she
came
to
the
point
and
conform'd
her self
to
the
Kings
desires
in
every
thing
.
Matters
being
brought
to
this
passe
,
the
King
suffer'd
the
Prince
of
Piemont
to
go
visit
her
,
which
he
had
long
desir'd
with
much
impatience
;
being
come
with
his
brother
Prince
Thomaso
neer
Angoulesme
,
Espernon
with
a
hundred
great
horse
went
to
meet
them
,
in
a
handsome
equippage
;
The
Prince
stay'd
there
some
dayes
to
wait
upon
his
new
Mother
in
law
,
and
at
his
departure
she
gave
him
a
Diamond
of
high
price
which
was
the
Emperour
Ferdinands
her
Grandfather
,
and
so
he
return'd
to
the
King
.
A
while
afterthere
was
an
enterview
appointed
'twixt
the
King
and
his
Mother
at
Cousieres
a
House
of
the
Duke
of
Monbazons
in
Touraine
;
The
Duke
of
Espernon
attended
her
to
the
farthest
limits
of
his
government
,
and
at
parting
she
gave
him
a
rich
Diamond
,
conjuring
him
never
to
part
with
it
,
but
that
it
might
be
preserv'd
from
father
to
son
as
an
eternall
gage
of
her
gratitude
,
and
in
memory
of
the
gallant
and
most
signal
service
which
he
had
render'd
her
to
the
hazard
of
his
life
and
fortune
:
The
Duke
us'd
to
wear
the
said
Diamond
afterwards
upon
his
finger
in
a
ring
upon
festivall
dayes
which
he
said
cost
him
two
hundred
thousand
Crowns
.
The
Queen
being
come
to
the
place
of
meeting
,
Luynes
who
was
now
made
Duke
and
Peer
of
France
,
and
Governor
of
Normandy
,
was
sent
from
the
King
before-hand
;
after
his
first
audience
the
Queen
brought
him
to
her
Cabinet
where
she
melted
into
passion
,
and
complain'd
of
the
hard
usage
she
had
receiv'd
,
which
she
would
quite
forget
;
yet
she
could
not
refrain
from
falling
still
upon
the
mention
of
her
hard
usage
,
which
did
her
no
good
afterwards
,
for
Luynes
thereby
fear'd
that
matters
pass'd
had
taken
such
lasting
impressions
in
her
,
that
they
could
never
be
defac'd
;
and
considering
the
vindicatif
spirits
of
the
Nation
whence
she
came
,
he
still
mistrusted
if
she
return'd
to
Court
,
she
would
project
some
way
of
revenge
,
&c.
The
King
came
the
next
day
in
Coach
with
the
young
Queen
,
his
two
Sisters
,
and
the
two
Princes
of
Savoy
,
to
the
House
where
the
Queen
was
,
and
Anno
1619.
there
was
a
compleat
glorious
Court
,
the
mutual
demonstrations
and
postures
of
tendernes
which
Mother
and
Son
shew'd
at
their
first
enterview
,
melted
the
hearts
of
all
the
Spectators
.
A
few
daies
after
all
parted
,
the
King
and
his
Queen
towards
Paris
,
the
Queen
Mother
to
Angers
,
and
the
Princes
of
Piemont
put
themselfs
in
their
journey
to
crosse
the
Alps.
A
little
after
the
Prince
of
Condé
was
enlarg'd
,
and
the
King
sent
him
this
Letter
by
his
Favorit
.
My
Cosen
,
I
will
not
tell
you
how
much
I
love
you
,
you
see
it
.
I
send
my
Cosen
the
Duke
of
Luynes
unto
you
,
who
knows
all
the
secrets
of
my
heart
,
and
will
open
them
unto
you
:
Come
away
as
soon
as
you
can
,
for
I
expect
you
with
impatience
,
in
the
interim
I
will
pray
God
to
preserve
you
in
his
holy
grace

Luynes
having
taken
his
oath
as
Duke
and
Peer
of
France
in
the
Anno
1620.
Court
of
Parliament
,
he
moved
the
King
to
perfect
the
number
of
the
Cavaliers
of
his
Order
,
the
Order
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
who
being
an
hundred
by
the
primitive
institution
were
now
diminished
to
twenty
eight
,
so
there
were
divers
more
created
to
the
number
of
fifty
nine
,
whereof
Luynes
two
brothers
Cadenet
and
Brande
were
two
:
Luynes
plot
was
to
ingratiat
himself
hereby
into
the
Nobility
,
but
it
prov'd
otherwise
,
for
the
Competitors
that
were
excluded
,
grew
to
be
more
bitterly
his
foes
,
then
they
who
were
instal'd
Knights
became
his
friends
.
Much
murmuring
also
was
at
his
two
brothers
,
this
Order
being
the
next
degree
to
bring
one
to
be
Duke
and
Peer
of
France
.
As
the
Ceremonies
of
these
new
Knights
were
a
performing
,
the
two
Princes
of
the
bloud
,
Condé
and
Soissons
being
at
Court
,
as
the
King
was
ready
to
sit
down
at
diner
,
the
Steward
of
the
Houshold
deliver'd
the
towell
to
Soissons
to
give
the
King
;
Condé
perceiving
it
,
would
have
had
it
from
him
,
but
he
would
not
part
with
it
,
so
they
fell
to
high
words
,
one
saying
it
was
his
right
as
he
was
prime
Prince
of
the
bloud
,
the
other
as
he
was
gran
Master
of
France
;
as
they
were
debating
the
point
in
hot
termes
,
the
King
sent
for
his
brother
,
to
whom
the
Count
of
Soissons
deliver'd
it
;
so
with
much
ado
the
King
made
them
both
friends
upon
the
place
,
and
the
next
day
many
hundreds
of
Gentlemen
appearing
on
horseback
,
and
offring
their
service
on
both
sides
,
there
came
out
a
strict
Order
from
the
King
,
there
should
be
no
more
stirring
in
the
businesse
.
It
fortun'd
about
this
time
that
the
young
Queen
fell
sick
,
and
there
were
extraordinary
Offices
of
devotion
performed
for
her
recovery
,
and
a
generall
Procession
Ordred
,
where
the
whole
Court
of
Parliament
assisted
in
their
red
robes
:
The
Queen
being
recover'd
she
employed
the
fifteen
thousand
Crowns
which
the
King
had
given
her
for
a
ball
to
works
of
Piety
and
Charity
.
The
Kings
Exchequer
was
at
a
very
low
ebbe
at
this
time
,
whereupon
there
came
out
an
Edict
call'd
the
Bursall
Edict
which
tended
to
raise
money
,
and
the
King
mistrusting
the
verification
of
it
by
the
Anno
1620.
Court
of
Parliament
,
went
thither
himself
in
great
state
,
where
the
Lord
Keeper
made
a
speech
a
bout
it
:
The
Prime
President
answer'd
him
boldly
,
That
the
Court
receiv'd
violence
to
verifie
such
Edicts
without
any
precedent
deliberation
,
that
being
well
assur'd
of
the
goodnes
and
justice
of
his
Majesty
the
Court
imputed
this
disorder
to
ill
counsell
,
and
therefore
desired
the
names
of
them
who
gave
him
this
damnable
counsell
should
be
given
up
and
registred
in
Parliament
to
be
proceeded
against
accordingly
;
Servin
the
Kings
Advocat
was
more
hardy
,
saying
,
That
his
Majesty
did
wrong
himself
to
come
to
Parliament
to
authorise
by
his
presence
,
that
which
could
not
be
done
with
reason
and
justice
.
Yet
the
Edict
pass'd
,
and
that
afternoon
,
the
Court
of
Parliament
was
commanded
to
wait
at
the
Louure
,
where
his
Majestie
told
them
,
That
he
was
ill
edified
by
their
Remonstrances
,
which
he
found
very
insolent
;
The
Lord
Keeper
told
them
,
That
to
some
ill
purpose
they
thought
to
separat
the
King
from
his
Counsell
,
by
blaming
the
one
,
and
exempting
the
other
,
for
being
inseparable
,
the
offence
must
bring
the
blow
upon
both
together
,
a
thing
not
to
be
endured
by
a
Soverain
Prince
,
who
is
to
exspect
punctuall
obedience
from
his
subjects
;
so
the
prime
President
making
a
large
apologie
,
at
last
they
were
dismiss'd
,
with
recovery
of
the
Kings
grace
.
The
prodigious
and
violent
promotions
of
Luynes
in
dignity
,
power
,
wealth
and
command
,
made
him
the
object
of
envy
to
some
,
of
hatred
to
others
,
of
amazement
to
all
;
nor
was
he
contented
to
hoise
himself
so
,
but
he
must
pully
up
his
two
brothers
along
with
him
;
so
there
was
a
kind
of
generall
discontentment
fomented
in
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
which
was
aggravated
by
the
late
shift
the
King
had
made
to
get
money
,
and
the
clash
he
had
with
the
Parliament
of
Paris
;
so
mens
minds
were
susceptible
and
ready
to
receive
any
impressions
of
mislike
against
the
present
Government
.
The
Duke
of
Mayn
had
a
particular
discontentment
,
that
Cadenet
,
afterwards
Duke
of
Chaune
which
was
erected
into
a
Pairrie
a
Peership
of
France
,
had
maried
the
Heiresse
of
Peguigny
,
whom
he
had
sought
for
wife
;
so
he
with
divers
other
Princes
started
out
and
put
themselfs
in
armes
;
the
Count
of
Soissons
,
Vendosm
,
and
the
Gran
Prior
of
France
his
brother
(
both
naturall
sons
to
the
last
King
)
went
to
the
Queen
Mother
at
Angers
,
who
quickly
entred
into
the
league
;
They
of
the
Religion
offer'd
her
conjunctive
forces
,
which
she
wav'd
,
but
the
Duke
of
Mayn
presently
accepted
of
them
,
which
made
his
army
swell
to
12000.
and
upwards
.
Hereupon
the
King
sent
the
Duke
of
Montbazon
to
invite
the
Queen
Mother
to
Court
,
and
to
assist
in
Counsell
,
but
she
excus'd
herself
by
indisposition
of
body
(
though
it
was
only
of
mind
:
)
He
sent
again
the
Archbishop
of
Sens
unto
Her
with
a
second
invitation
to
Court
and
he
would
meet
her
in
the
way
as
far
as
Orleans
,
but
she
continued
still
distrustfull
,
and
jealous
of
some
plot
upon
her
,
thinking
that
Fistula

canit
,

dum

Auceps
.
Anno
1620.
She
inveighs
bitterly
against
the
present
Favorits
how
they
exhausted
the
Kings
Tresure
,
offended
most
of
the
Princes
,
and
dispos'd
of
all
offices
and
honors
,
making
men
of
mean
extraction
lately
Knights
of
the
Holy
Spirit
,
and
excluding
ancient
Gentlemen
of
merit
;
these
complaints
she
couch'd
and
enlarg'd
in
two
Letters
,
one
to
the
King
himself
,
the
other
to
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
which
the
Court
would
not
open
but
sent
them
to
the
King
.
The
discontented
Princes
grew
daily
more
and
more
powerfull
,
so
it
was
high
time
for
the
King
to
get
a
Horsback
,
which
he
did
,
and
march'd
first
to
Normandy
,
where
the
Duke
of
Longueville
had
arm'd
,
having
bin
at
the
Parliament
of
Roven
,
to
tell
them
that
the
ground
of
his
grievance
,
as
of
the
rest
of
the
Princes
,
was
the
indirect
and
violent
means
that
Luynes
us'd
to
establish
his
own
authority
,
and
advance
his
monstrous
fortune
,
&c.
Longueville
understanding
the
King
was
advancing
to
Roven
retir'd
to
Diep
with
three
hundred
Gentlemen
,
who
thought
to
make
the
Town
of
Roven
to
side
with
them
,
but
the
Kings
presence
scared
them
all
away
;
There
the
King
sate
himself
in
Parliament
,
and
suspended
Longueville
of
the
Government
of
that
great
Province
,
and
put
also
divers
of
his
Complices
out
of
Office
;
And
so
having
secur'd
Roven
,
he
went
to
Caen
where
the
Gran
Prior
had
put
a
strong
garrison
in
the
Castle
to
stand
for
the
Princes
,
Crequy
had
laid
a
siege
to
the
Castle
before
the
King
came
,
and
held
it
hot
play
,
for
the
Castle
was
extremly
well
fortified
both
with
bones
and
stones
;
The
King
immediatly
upon
his
arrival
sent
Prudent
,
whom
the
Gran
Prior
had
plac'd
in
the
said
Castle
,
a
summon
to
render
it
,
Prudent
refus'd
,
hereupon
there
was
a
Proclamation
publish'd
,
That
whosoever
would
bring
Prudent
living
or
dead
unto
the
King
,
he
should
have
a
reward
of
ten
thousand
crowns
;
This
made
Prudent
tremble
,
and
to
apprehend
some
danger
within
,
as
well
as
from
without
,
for
the
sound
of
ten
thousand
crowns
made
a
mighty
noise
,
and
might
work
upon
the
garrison
it self
.
So
he
sent
to
Crequy
to
know
truly
of
him
,
whether
the
King
was
there
in
person
or
no
,
For
if
he
were
,
he
had
rather
die
twenty
deaths
then
hinder
the
triumph
of
his
first
arms
,
so
he
gave
up
the
Castle
without
capitulation
,
and
the
King
pardoned
all
:
some
gave
advise
to
raze
the
Castle
,
but
being
built
at
first
to
stay
and
repell
the
Forces
of
the
English
,
and
being
fair
,
large
and
strong
,
it
was
suffer'd
to
stand
,
for
it
might
be
serviceable
again
against
that
Nation
.
The
report
of
taking
Caen
Castle
added
much
to
the
Kings
honor
,
and
struck
a
terror
in
the
Mutineers
.
He
march'd
thence
to
Mans
and
thence
towards
Angers
to
his
Mother
,
in
the
way
there
were
six
or
seven
Castles
that
discharg'd
their
garrisons
,
and
rang'd
themselfs
to
the
Kings
obedience
.
Being
at
Mans
there
came
some
Gentlemen
to
tell
him
from
the
Queen
Mother
that
she
was
ready
to
conform
her self
to
his
Majesties
pleasure
,
and
therefore
desir'd
a
Treaty
with
this
proviso
,
that
all
the
rest
who
were
now
in
Arms
for
her
assistance
might
be
included
in
the
Articles
;
The
King
sent
her
word
,
that
as
he
distinguish'd
her
Person
from
theirs
who
were
now
in
rebellion
against
Anno
1620.
him
,
so
he
would
separat
her
interests
from
theirs
;
for
he
well
considered
that
she
was
his
mother
,
they
but
his
subjects
;
qualities
so
distant
,
that
it
was
not
fitting
to
confound
them
,
and
involve
her
in
the
same
Treaty
.
Yet
nevertheles
he
was
willing
to
be
gracious
to
all
for
what
was
pass'd
,
provided
they
would
incontinently
disarm
,
and
implore
mercy
.
Luynes
also
sent
her
a
Complement
by
the
same
messenger
,
That
there
was
no
desire
so
ardent
in
him
,
as
to
see
her
again
with
the
King
,
as
well
for
her
own
contentment
,
as
for
the
repose
of
the
Realm
;
But
notwithstanding
this
gracious
proffer
,
they
stood
still
in
arms
in
Angers
where
there
were
eight
thousand
foot
,
and
one
thousand
two
hundred
horse
well
appointed
,
and
a
great
confluence
of
Nobles
.
Angers
being
a
huge
vast
Town
,
and
the
royal
Army
being
but
sixteen
thousand
foot
,
and
one
thousand
five
hundred
horse
,
the
Counsell
of
War
determ'd
,
that
it
was
more
advantagious
to
attaque
Pont
de
Cé
not
far
of
,
then
lye
down
before
Angers
;
So
Crequy
was
sent
with
fifteen
Bataillons
to
that
purpose
,
there
was
a
furious
fight
twixt
the
Sons
Forces
and
the
Mothers
;
at
last
the
Son
prevail'd
,
and
entirely
routed
the
enemy
with
slaughter
of
five
hundred
men
;
the
next
day
the
Castle
of
Pont
de
Cé
rendred
it self
;
the
garrison
was
us'd
very
favorably
,
and
all
the
Domestic
Officers
of
the
Queen
Mother
who
had
born
Arms
there
,
were
sent
unto
her
for
a
present
.
There
was
then
a
resolution
to
set
upon
Angers
,
but
the
King
would
not
hearken
unto
it
while
his
Mother
was
in
the
Town
;
Hereupon
She
sent
the
Cardinal
of
Sourdis
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Lucon
to
the
King
to
tell
him
,
That
She
threw
herself
between
his
arms
,
to
submit
her
will
and
all
her
inclinations
to
his
Commands
,
beseeching
his
Majesty
that
his
grace
might
extend
to
all
those
that
had
assisted
her
.
The
King
condescended
to
every
thing
,
pass'd
an
Act
of
Abolition
of
all
former
faults
,
and
the
Articles
of
the
Treaty
were
sent
to
Paris
to
be
verified
by
the
Court
of
Parliament
;
So
the
Son
and
the
Mother
had
another
enterview
at
Brissac
,
where
their
actions
,
port
,
gesture
,
words
and
tears
,
wrought
much
upon
the
affections
of
all
the
beholders
.
The
King
having
in
lesse
then
40.
dayes
,
quell'd
this
dangerous
rebellion
which
like
a
Hydra
consisted
of
many
heads
,
his
thoughts
then
reflected
upon
the
Ecclesiastic's
of
Bearn
,
who
pretended
,
and
had
consequently
petition'd
often
unto
him
how
much
they
suffer'd
by
them
of
the
Religion
;
so
he
sent
the
Queen
to
Paris
,
and
he
took
the
road
of
Bearn
a
frontier
place
towards
Spain
,
fastning
Navar
to
the
foot
of
the
Pyrenean
Hills
;
He
took
Saint
Iohn
d'
Angeli
in
his
way
,
where
the
Town
complain'd
of
a
Cittadell
which
the
Duke
of
Rohan
would
have
built
to
keep
them
in
captivitie
;
He
left
a
new
Governor
there
behind
him
,
and
sent
to
Espernon
to
have
a
care
of
the
place
;
thence
he
went
to
Blay
(
the
key
of
Bourdeaux
)
where
he
depos'd
the
Marquis
of
Aubeterre
the
Governor
,
and
giving
him
the
Truncheon
of
Marshall
,
and
100000.
crowns
for
recompence
,
he
put
in
his
place
Brentes
third
brother
to
Luynes
after
Duke
of
Luxenburg
:
At
Bourdeaux
he
made
an
Edict
for
the
reestablishment
of
the
Roman
Catholics
Anno
1620.
of
Bearn
in
their
Primitive
possessions
,
and
sending
it
to
Pau
where
the
chief
Councell
of
Bearn
resides
to
be
verified
,
they
refus'd
to
doe
it
notwithstanding
two
jussions
of
the
King
to
that
effect
.
Iane
d'
Albret
,
Henry
the
Greats
Mother
,
first
planted
the
Reformed
Religion
in
Bearn
,
taking
the
revenues
of
the
Roman
Clergy
to
maintain
the
Ministers
,
she
raign'd
divers
yeers
,
and
her
son
Henry
the
Fourth
succeeded
,
who
after
he
was
King
of
France
reestablish'd
a
few
Bishops
there
,
who
gave
some
satisfaction
for
the
time
:
The
present
King
his
son
,
out
of
a
greater
zeale
to
Rome
,
would
put
all
things
in
statu
quo
priùs
,
and
would
have
the
Church
lands
entirely
restor'd
,
and
for
the
maintenance
of
the
Reformed
Ministers
he
was
willing
to
part
with
eighty
thousand
Franks
yeerly
out
of
his
own
revenue
:
Yet
the
Counsell
of
Pau
would
not
ratifie
his
Edict
,
which
Counsell
was
divided
to
three
opinions
.
-
1.
The
first
opinion
was
utterly
to
reject
the
Kings
Edict
,
and
to
detain
still
the
possessions
of
the
Church
.
-
2.
Others
thought
it
was
fit
to
give
the
King
some
contentment
,
but
in
appearance
only
,
and
to
verifie
the
Edict
,
assuring
themselfs
that
it
could
never
be
put
in
execution
,
it
would
meet
with
so
many
difficulties
.
-
3.
Others
thought
it
best
to
delay
the
verification
to
another
time
.
The
King
understanding
that
they
were
thus
chopping
of
Logic
,
and
that
the
Synod
also
which
was
there
then
sitting
,
did
mainly
resist
the
verification
of
his
Edict
;
He
resolves
to
go
thither
himself
,
though
many
disswaded
him
from
the
journey
by
reason
of
the
uncouth
wayes
,
the
sory
lodgings
,
the
waters
in
some
places
poyson'd
by
Sorcerers
,
and
the
scarcity
of
provision
,
in
the
Lands
of
Bourdeaux
.
But
none
of
these
reasons
could
deter
the
King
,
therefore
he
prepares
for
his
voyage
,
and
in
the
interim
he
sent
a
person
of
quality
to
the
Rochellers
to
acquaint
them
with
the
Elusory
answers
which
the
Bearnois
made
to
his
commands
,
and
therefore
he
advis'd
and
requir'd
them
to
have
nothing
to
do
in
this
busines
;
They
of
Rochell
little
regarding
what
the
King
said
,
but
undertook
the
protection
of
the
Bearnois
.
The
King
being
advanced
in
his
journey
neer
Pau
,
the
Inhabitants
sent
to
know
how
he
would
be
receiv'd
,
the
King
asked
if
there
were
ever
a
Church
in
the
Town
,
if
there
were
,
he
would
enter
as
their
Soverain
,
if
not
,
he
would
receive
no
honor
in
a
place
where
God
Almighty
had
no
House
to
be
honor'd
in
,
so
he
entred
without
any
Ceremony
;
They
of
the
Religion
making
three
parts
of
the
people
forbore
to
send
Commodities
to
Pau
Market
during
the
Kings
sojourn
there
,
to
constrain
him
to
go
away
the
sooner
;
so
that
his
train
made
hard
shift
to
subsist
all
the
while
.
He
goes
thence
to
Navarrenz
seven
leagues
neerer
the
hills
,
a
strong
tenable
place
having
45.
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
and
40.
Culverins
,
the
old
Governor
Bertrand
de
Sales
sent
the
keys
of
the
Town
to
the
King
,
where
he
peaceably
entred
contrary
to
all
expectation
;
he
put
in
a
new
Garrison
of
French
there
,
and
plac'd
another
Governor
,
giving
Anno
1620.
for
recompence
to
the
old
60000.
Franks
:
He
also
caus'd
Masse
to
be
sung
there
which
had
not
bin
done
fifty
yeers
before
;
so
having
settled
all
things
at
Navarrenx
he
return'd
to
Pau
,
where
the
great
Church
which
they
of
the
Religion
had
turn'd
to
a
Temple
was
restor'd
to
the
Priests
,
and
two
thousand
crowns
given
for
satisfaction
;
In
fine
having
cast
the
Church
into
its
old
mould
,
and
the
Military
with
the
Civill
Government
into
a
new
,
and
leaving
a
competent
strength
with
La
Force
to
preserve
both
,
he
took
post
,
and
came
safely
and
triumphantly
to
Paris
in
a
few
dayes
.
The
Bearnois
made
their
addresses
to
the
French
Churches
,
and
exhibited
their
complaints
unto
them
,
and
for
their
justification
they
alledg'd
two
reasons
.
One
was
a
possession
of
fifty
yeers
continued
without
interruption
of
those
revenues
the
King
had
ravish'd
them
of
.
The
second
was
,
an
Ordinance
of
the
States
Generall
of
Bearn
confirm'd
by
a
Declaration
of
Henry
the
Great
to
that
effect
.
The
Roman
Catholiks
answer'd
,
That
for
the
possession
they
speak
of
,
it
was
violent
▪
and
accompagnied
with
rebellion
and
felony
;
Touching
the
Assembly
of
the
States
Generall
which
they
urg'd
,
it
was
altogether
illegal
,
because
the
first
and
most
noble
part
which
was
the
Clergy
was
excluded
by
a
cruel
persecution
,
and
for
Henry
the
Great
,
he
was
then
himself
a
persecutor
of
the
Catholiks
.
The
French
Reformed
Churches
which
are
neer
upon
eight
hundred
,
did
much
resent
the
usage
of
the
Bearnois
,
thereupon
there
was
a
great
Assembly
held
at
Loudun
without
the
Kings
permission
,
wherein
they
resolv'd
to
assist
their
brethren
of
Bearn
.
They
drew
up
Cayers
or
papers
to
present
unto
the
King
containing
sundry
demands
.
1.
The
first
,
that
his
Majesty
would
please
to
revoke
his
arrest
given
in
favor
of
the
Ecclesiastiks
of
Bearn
.
2.
A
continuation
of
their
Cautionary
Towns
foure
yeers
longer
,
the
time
being
now
expir'd
.
3.
They
demanded
leave
to
change
two
Governors
which
were
turn'd
Catholiks
.
When
these
Papers
were
presented
to
the
King
,
he
sent
their
Deputies
word
by
Condé
and
Luynes
that
his
will
was
,
that
first
of
all
they
should
separat
the
Assembly
,
and
six
moneths
after
their
separation
they
should
be
favourably
answer'd
.
They
prai'd
this
promise
might
be
digested
in
writing
to
an
Act
;
they
were
answer'd
,
That
it
was
an
indecent
and
derogatory
thing
for
a
Monark
to
treat
in
that
manner
with
his
subjects
,
as
if
his
word
were
not
sufficient
:
The
Deputies
receiv'd
little
satisfaction
in
this
,
so
they
returnd
to
Loudun
wher
the
Assembly
continued
still
notwithstanding
two
Declarations
publish'd
by
the
King
,
wherein
they
were
commanded
to
separat
upon
pain
of
being
proclaim'd
Traytors
.
They
little
valu'd
the
Kings
Declarations
,
but
dissolving
their
Assembly
at
Loudun
,
they
sent
summons
up
and
down
to
meet
at
Rochell
,
where
in
a
greater
eagernes
,
and
zeal
to
the
Cause
then
before
,
they
solemnly
conven'd
,
notwithstanding
another
new
Prohibition
of
the
Kings
verifi'd
by
the
Court
of
Parliament
in
Paris
;
Hereupon
the
busines
was
put
into
deep
deliberation
at
the
Counsell
of
State
,
whether
Anno
1620.
the
King
should
declare
war
against
the
whole
body
of
the
Religion
,
or
particularly
against
those
that
had
met
at
Rochell
:
and
the
latter
opinion
took
place
,
for
these
reasons
.
-
1.
First
,
it
could
not
stand
with
justice
to
force
consciences
to
quit
that
beleef
which
had
bin
so
long
tolerated
.
-
2.
Secondly
,
that
declaring
a
war
against
the
whole
body
of
them
of
the
Religion
might
bring
in
forren
ayd
.
-

Thirdly
,
that
if
a
war
were
pronounc'd
in
generall
,
many
of
the
Kings
best
servants
would
be
involv'd
therein
,
and
provok'd
,
as
the
Duks
of
Trimoville
,
Bovillon
,
Lesdigueres
,
Suilly
,
Chastillon
,
Brassai
,
Montgomery
,
Blamville
,
with
divers
other
of
his
best
sort
of
subjects
.
The
King
in
regard
his
Treasury
was
much
drain'd
was
loth
to
Anno
1621.
plunge
himself
in
a
serious
war
again
the
Rochelers
,
therefore
to
comply
with
them
,
he
accorded
a
continuation
of
their
cautionary
Towns
for
five
yeers
longer
,
notwithstanding
that
they
demanded
but
foure
.
He
also
gave
them
leave
to
change
the
Governor
of
Lectour
Castle
,
and
to
choose
a
new
Counsellor
in
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
two
things
they
insisted
much
upon
,
but
they
prevail'd
little
with
them
unlesse
the
late
Edict
of
Bearn
were
revok'd
:
Hereupon
the
Gran
Assembly
at
Rochell
reinforc'd
it self
,
and
went
on
more
roundly
then
ever
,
there
were
also
up
and
down
the
Countrey
divers
other
meetings
,
as
Synods
,
Colloquies
,
Circles
,
and
demy-circles
which
conven'd
,
and
consulted
.
They
of
Rochell
went
higher
and
higher
,
they
had
a
new
public
sealemade
,
they
establish'd
a
new
Court
of
Admiralty
,
and
stamp'd
new
Coines
:
They
made
47.
Ordinances
,
which
were
printed
,
and
commanded
to
be
strictly
observed
through
all
the
Reformed
Churches
:
They
nominated
Governors
of
Provinces
,
and
impos'd
taxes
at
pleasure
.
The
King
was
much
incens'd
at
these
traverses
,
yet
nothing
could
move
him
to
declare
war
against
the
whole
body
of
them
,
notwithstanding
that
he
was
offer'd
six
hundred
thousand
crowns
yearly
by
the
Ecclesiasticks
,
viz.
two
hundred
thousand
by
the
Pope
;
two
hundred
thousand
by
the
Colledge
of
Cardinalls
,
and
two
hundred
thousand
by
the
French
Clergy
.
La
Force
whom
the
King
had
left
Governor
of
Bearn
,
did
not
put
the
Kings
commands
in
execution
as
he
expected
,
therefore
the
Duke
of
Espernon
was
sent
thither
with
an
Army
,
and
settled
all
things
according
to
the
Kings
pleasure
,
and
made
La
Force
quit
the
Countrey
,
who
was
proclaym'd
Traytor
,
and
the
Marshall
of
Themines
put
in
his
place
;
though
afterwards
La
Force
recovered
his
repute
with
the
King
,
and
receiv'd
the
Truncheon
to
be
Marshall
of
France
,
and
grew
to
be
a
great
Confident
.
The
King
having
now
taken
a
resolution
of
war
against
the
Rechellers
,
intended
to
make
a
Lord
High
Constable
of
France
,
thereupon
it
was
offer'd
the
old
Duke
Le'sdigueres
provided
he
would
go
to
Masse
,
which
he
waving
,
Luynes
undertook
it
;
which
drew
much
more
envy
upon
him
then
formerly
.
The
King
put
out
a
Declaration
that
it
was
not
against
Religion
,
but
Anno
1621.
against
Rebellion
that
he
proceeded
,
therefore
he
offer'd
to
take
into
his
protection
all
those
Reformed
Churches
that
would
contain
themselfs
within
the
bounds
of
their
obedience
to
him
,
and
not
adhaere
to
the
Assembly
at
Rochell
;
which
Declaration
was
verified
in
Parliament
with
much
solemnity
:
so
he
march'd
towards
the
Loire
,
and
being
neer
Saumur
a
Town
of
the
greatest
consequence
that
the
Reformed
Churches
had
,
he
sent
to
Monsieur
du
Plessis
Mournay
that
he
desired
to
lodge
in
the
Castle
that
night
with
his
Queen
;
The
old
Governor
being
above
eighty
yeers
of
age
was
so
surpriz'd
with
this
Message
that
it
put
him
to
his
wits
end
,
for
he
made
full
account
the
King
would
have
lodg'd
in
the
Town
,
as
other
Kings
had
;
and
as
he
was
consulting
what
to
do
with
much
perplexity
,
the
Guard
of
Swisses
were
at
the
Castle
gate
;
so
he
peaceably
let
them
in
,
the
King
followed
presently
after
,
who
charming
the
old
man
with
complement
,
made
him
discharge
his
Garrison
;
so
the
Castle
and
City
was
secur'd
for
the
King
.
Yet
the
Governor
which
he
left
in
the
Castle
was
a
Reformist
,
who
was
the
Count
of
Sault
,
Monsieur
Crequy's
son
.
The
reductiono
and
assurance
of
Saumur
was
a
mighty
advantage
to
the
King
for
the
advance
of
his
present
dessein
,
in
regard
that
Saumur
for
her
situation
was
one
of
the
importantst
Towns
that
they
of
the
Reformed
Religion
had
,
in
regard
it
tied
Normandy
,
Britany
,
Anjou
,
and
Mayn
,
with
Poitou
,
Tourain
and
other
Countreys
circumjacent
,
where
they
were
strongest
,
besides
it
lay
upon
the
Loire
,
and
it
was
the
probablest
place
to
stop
the
Kings
passage
,
which
they
endevor'd
to
doe
afterwards
at
Saint
Iohn
d'
Angely
.
From
Saumur
the
King
marched
to
Touars
a
Town
of
the
Duke
of
Trimovillies
where
he
was
receiv'd
with
all
honor
and
obedience
by
the
Duchesse
in
the
Dukes
absence
;
from
thence
he
pass'd
through
divers
Towns
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
where
in
some
places
he
chang'd
the
Governors
,
so
he
came
to
Moart
where
Paraberre
the
old
Governor
afterward
turning
Roman
,
entertaind
him
with
all
kind
of
compliance
.
So
he
found
little
or
no
opposition
at
all
till
he
came
to
Saint
Iohn
d'
Angely
where
Soubize
had
cast
himself
in
with
1500.
men
;
a
formall
siege
was
planted
before
the
Towne
.
The
King
had
15000.

,
and
2000.
horse
,
the
flower
of
the
Cavalry
of
France
,
and
Espernon
came
with
4000.
foot
more
of
Gascons
and
Bearnois
;
A
Herald
of
Arms
was
sent
to
summon
Soubize
,
who
being
let
a
little
in
at
one
of
the
gates
in
his
rich
coat
he
pronounced
alowd
these
words
:
To
thee
Benjamin
of
Rohan
,
Lord
of
Soubize
,
I
come
and
command
thee
in
the
Kings
name
my
Soverain
Lord
and
thine
,
to
open
unto
him
the
gates
of
this
Town
,
to
deliver
it
unto
him
as
his
own
,
and
to
go
out
presently
with
all
those
that
assist
thee
,
otherwise
I
declare
thee
a
Rebell
and
a
Traytor
against
Divine
and
Humane
Majesty
in
the
highest
degree
,
thy
Houses
and
Castles
to
be
raz'd
,
thy
goods
confiscated
to
the
King
,
and
I
declare
thee
and
all
thy
posterity
Yeomen
.
Soubize
answer'd
,
That
he
was
a
most
humble
servant
and
subject
of
the
Anno
1621.
Kings
,
but
being
there
in
quality
of
a
Soldier
,
the
execution
of
the
Kings
commandment
depended
on
the
Assembly
of
Rochel
,
who
had
committed
unto
him
the
Government
of
the
place
;
this
he
spoak
with
his
hat
on
,
thereupon
the
Herald
replied
,
Know
that
neither
as
Captain
,
or
Soldier
,
thou
oughtst
to
answer
me
with
thy
head
cover'd
,
when
I
speak
to
thee
in
the
name
of
the
King
thy
Soverain
Lord
and
mine
.
Then
Haute
Fontaine
took
the
word
,
saying
,
That
the
Lord
Soubize
having
never
seen
such
summons
,
was
excusable
.
This
Answer
and
cariage
of
Soubize
that
he
should
prefer
an
Ordinance
of
the
Assembly
,
before
his
royal
Declaration
,
nettled
the
King
extremley
,
so
the
siege
was
poursued
very
eagerly
,
a
mine
or
two
sprung
,
and
a
generall
Storm
appointed
,
but
in
the
interim
there
were
Deputies
sent
to
Constable
Luynes
to
Treat
,
he
sent
them
back
with
this
Answer
,
that
the
King
did
not
use
to
Treat
with
his
Subjects
:
Hereupon
they
return'd
with
Commission
to
implore
grace
,
so
the
King
publish'd
a
short
Proclamation
to
this
effect
.
That
his
Majesty
being
contented
to
admit
of
a
Treaty
,
at
the
most
humble
supplication
many
times
reiterated
by
them
which
are
in
the
Town
of
St.
John
d'Angely
(
or
Angerry
)
he
was
pleas'd
to
vouchsafe
a
generall
pardon
to
all
,
provided
they
ask
it
,
and
swear
,
never
to
bear
arms
again
against
his
service
,
&c.
So
they
came
out
and
Soubize
kneel'd
unto
the
King
and
promis'd
to
observe
the
conditions
his
Majesty
requir'd
.
Thus
Saint
Iohn
d'
Angely
was
yeelded
upon
Saint
Iohn
Baptists
day
the
Patron
of
the
place
after
fortie
daies
siege
,
which
was
furious
and
very
hot
for
the
time
,
divers
Lords
and
Gentlemen
of
quality
lost
their
lives
there
,
the
Prince
of
Ienvill
was
hurt
,
so
was
the
Duke
of
Elbeuf
,
the
Marquis
de
la
Valette
,
de
Saint
Claumont
,
Crequy
,
with
divers
others
;
The
Cardinal
of
Guyse
fell
down
at
the
puffe
of
a
Canon
bullet
which
put
him
in
such
a
burning
feavor
that
he
died
before
the
Town
,
as
also
the
Marshall
of
Brissac
:
The
King
commanded
a
Convent
of
Capuchins
to
be
built
forthwith
,
the
wals
to
be
raz'd
,
and
commanded
it
should
be
call'd
no
more
a
town
,
but
a
village
;
and
to
be
nam'd
Lewis-Bourg
.
The
rendition
of
this
town
,
was
seconded
with
good
news
from
the
Prince
of
Condé
and
the
Count
of
Saint
Paul
who
had
taken
Gergeau
,
and
Sancerre
,
which
with
Saumur
,
were
all
they
had
upon
the
Loire
.
While
the
King
was
before
Saint
Iohn
d'
Angely
,
a
remarkable
passage
happen'd
twixt
Sir
Edward
Herbert
now
Baron
of
Cherberry
(
then
Ambassador
for
his
Majesty
of
great
Britain
in
France
)
and
the
great
Favorit
and
Constable
Luynes
:
which
was
thus
.
Sir
Edward
Herbert
had
receiv'd
privat
instructions
from
England
to
mediat
a
Peace
for
them
of
the
Religion
,
and
in
case
of
refusall
to
use
certain
menaces
;
hereupon
he
coming
to
the
Army
,
and
finding
the
approches
to
the
said
Town
were
almost
finish'd
,
he
hastned
his
addresses
to
the
King
for
an
audience
:
The
King
referring
him
to
Luynes
,
and
desiring
that
what
he
had
to
say
might
be
first
imparted
unto
him
,
he
went
accordingly
to
Luynes
lodgings
,
and
deliver'd
his
Message
so
,
Anno
1621.
that
he
reserv'd
still
the
latter
part
,
which
was
menace
,
untill
he
heard
how
the
busines
was
relish'd
;
Luynes
had
hid
behind
the
hangings
a
Gentleman
of
the
Religion
,
who
was
upon
point
of
turning
Roman
,
that
being
an
earwitnes
of
what
had
pass'd
between
the
English
Ambassador
and
Luynes
,
he
might
relate
unto
them
of
the
Religion
what
little
hopes
they
were
to
expect
from
the
intercession
of
the
King
of
England
:
The
Ambassador
and
Luynes
having
mingled
some
Speeches
,
the
language
of
Luynes
was
very
haughty
,
saying
,
What
hath
your
Master
to
do
with
our
Actions
?
Why
doth
he
meddle
with
our
affairs
?
Sir
Edward
Herbert
replied
.
It
is
not
to
you
to
whom
the
King
my
Master
owes
an
account
of
his
Actions
,
and
for
Me
it
is
enough
to
obey
Him
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
must
maintain
that
the
King
my
Master
hath
more
reason
to
do
what
he
pleaseth
to
do
,
then
you
have
to
ask
why
he
doth
it
;
Nevertheles
,
if
you
desire
me
in
a
gentle
fashion
,
I
shall
acquaint
you
further
.
Whereupon
Luynes
bowing
a
little
said
,
very
well
;
The
Ambassador
answer'd
.
That
it
was
not
on
this
occasion
only
,
that
the
King
of
Great
Britain
had
desir'd
the
Peace
and
prosperity
of
France
,
but
upon
all
other
occasions
whensoever
any
troubles
were
rais'd
,
in
that
Countrey
.
And
this
he
said
was
his
first
Reason
.
The
second
was
,
That
when
a
Peace
was
settled
there
,
His
Majesty
of
France
might
be
better
dispos'd
to
assist
the
Palatin
in
the
affairs
of
Germany
.
Luynes
said
,
We
will
none
of
your
advices
.
The
Ambassador
replied
,
That
he
took
that
for
an
Answer
,
and
was
sorry
only
,
that
the
affection
and
good
will
of
the
King
his
Master
was
not
sufficiently
understood
,
and
that
since
't
was
rejected
in
that
maner
,
he
could
do
no
lesse
then
say
,
that
the
King
his
Master
knew
well
enough
what
he
had
to
do
.
Luynes
said
,
We
are
not
afraid
of
you
;
The
Ambassador
(
smiling
a
little
)
replied
,
If
you
had
said
you
had
not
lov'd
Us
,
I
should
have
beleev'd
you
,
and
made
you
another
Answer
;
In
the
mean
while
,
all
I
will
tell
you
more
is
,
That
We
know
very
well
what
we
have
to
do
.
Luynes
hereupon
rising
a
little
from
his
chaire
with
a
fashion
and
a
countenance
much
discompos'd
,
said
,
By
God
if
you
were
not
Monsieur
l'
Ambassadeur
,
I
know
very
well
how
I
would
use
you
;
The
Ambassador
herewithall
rising
also
from
his
chaire
said
,
That
as
he
was
his
Majesties
of
Great
Britains
Ambassador
,
so
he
was
also
a
Gentleman
,
and
that
his
sword
,
whereon
he
laid
his
hand
,
should
do
him
reason
if
he
took
any
offence
:
After
which
Luynes
replying
nothing
,
the
Ambassador
went
on
his
way
towards
the
doore
,
to
which
when
Luynes
seem'd
to
accompagny
him
,
the
Ambassador
told
him
,
that
after
such
language
,
there
was
no
occasion
to
use
ceremony
,
and
so
departed
,
expecting
to
hear
further
from
him
.
But
no
message
being
brought
him
from
Luynes
,
he
did
in
poursuance
of
his
instructions
demand
audience
of
the
King
at
Cognac
,
St.
Iean
d'
Angely
being
now
rendred
,
who
granting
it
,
where
he
did
in
the
same
termes
,
and
upon
the
same
motives
Mediat
a
Peace
for
them
of
the
Religion
,
and
receiv'd
a
far
more
gentle
Answer
from
the
King
.
The
Marshall
de
Saint
Geran
coming
to
Sir
Edward
Herbert
told
him
in
a
friendly
maner
,
you
have
offended
the
Constable
,
and
you
are
not
in
a
place
of
surety
here
,
whereunto
he
answer'd
,
That
he
held
himself
to
be
in
a
place
of
surety
,
wheresoever
Anno
1621.
he
had
his
sword
by
him
.
Luynes
little
resenting
the
affront
he
receiv'd
from
Sir
Ed.
Herbert
,
got
Cadenet
his
brother
Duke
of
Chaune
with
a
ruffling
train
of
Cavaliers
,
neer
upon
a
hundred
,
(
whereof

a
little
after
,
who
misreporting
the
clash
'twixt

Herbert
and

,
prevaild
so
far
,
that
Sir

Herbert
was
presently
revok'd
,
to
answer
the
charge
that
should
be
laid
against
him
.
In
the
mean

the
Earl
of
Carlile
that
dexterous
Courtier
was
employ'd
extraordinary
Ambassador
to
France
for
accommodating
le
mal
entendu
which
might
arise
'twixt
the
two
Crowns
;
Carlile
was
commanded
to
inform
himself
of
the
truth
of
the
businesse
afore
mention'd
,
and
he
could
meet
with
no
relation
but
what
Luynes
had
made
himself
:
wherein
more
affronting
and
haughty
expressions
were
laid
to
Sir
Ed.
Herberts
charge
then
had
truly
pass'd
,
for
though
the
first
provocation
came
from
Luynes
,
yet
the
Ambassadour
kept
himself
within
the
bounds
both
of
his
instructions
and
honor
;
but
as
my
Lord
of
Carlile
was
ready
to
send
this
mis-information
to
England
,
the
Gentleman
formerly
spoken
of
who
stood
behind
the
hangings
,
came
to
the
Earl
of
Carlile
and
said
,
that
he
ow'd
so
much
unto
truth
and
honor
that
he
could
doe
no
lesse
then
vindicat
Cavalier
Herbert
from
all
indiscretion
and
unworthines
,
and
thereupon
related
the
true
circumstances
of
the
businesse
.
The
Earl
of
Carlile
being
thus
rectified
in
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
gave
account
to
King
Iames
accordingly
,
who
cleer'd
Sir
Ed.
Herbert
,
and
resolv'd
to
renvoy
him
Ambassador
to
France
,
whereof
he
having
notice
,
kneel'd
to
the
King
before
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
and
humbly
desired
that
since
the
busines
was
public
in
both
Kingdoms
he
might
in
a
public
way
demand
reparation
of
M.
Luynes
:
for
which
purpose
he
beseech'd
his
Majesty
that
a
Trumpeter
if
not
a
Herald
might
be
sent
on
his
part
to
M.
de
Luynes
to
tell
him
That
he
had
made
a
false
relation
of
the
passages
before
mentioned
,
and
that
Sir
Ed.
Herbert
would
demand
reasons
of
him
with
sword
in
hand
on
that
point
;
the
King
answering
that
he
would
take
it
into
consideration
.
Luynes
a
little
after
died
,
and
Sir
Edward
was
again
sent
Ambassador
to
France
.
But
to
return
to
our
former
road
,
besides
those
places
formerly
mentioned
,
the
Towns
Suilly
,
Merac
and
Caumont
were
also
taken
for
the
King
,
but
the
latter
two
by
the
Duke
of
Mayn
Governor
of
Guyen
:
All
Poitou
being
reduc'd
to
Royall
obedience
,
and
setled
,
the
King
resolv'd
to
go
for
Guyen
to
suppresse
the
Duke
of
Rohan
and
la
Force
who
were
in
arms
,
and
had
a
considerable
Army
:
He
left

and
600.

.
So
he
advances
to
Guyen
,
and
divers
places
in
the
way
open'd
their
gates
unto
him
,
till
he
came
to
Clairac
,
where
he
found
a
tough
resistance
;
He
lost
before
the
Town
the
great
Lord
of
Thermes
,
and
sundry
persons
of
quality
besides
;
in
so
much
that
he
would
give
no

,
and
there
were
most
pittifully
drown'd
and
kill'd
in
the
Town
above
800.
whereof
there
were
above
200.
Gentlemen
.
The
King
having
reduc'd
Clayrac
,
though
it
cost
him
dear
,
his
thoughts
then
reflected
upon
Montauban
which
after
Rochell
was
the
prime
propugnacle
,
and
principallest
Town
of
security
They
of
the
Religion
had
in
the
whole
Kingdom
.
There
was
a
Royall
summons
sent
before
,
and
it
was
accompanied
with
a
large
persuasive
Letter
from
the
Duke
of
Suilly
(
who
was
one
of
the
chiefest
Grandes
they
had
of
the
Reformed
Religion
)
to
induce
them
to
conformitie
and
obedience
;
some
interpreted
the
Letter
to
a
good
sense
,
but
the
populasse
,
by
the
instigation
of
the
Ministers
,
would
not
hearken
to
it
;
This
was
that
Duke
of
Suilly
that
had
bin
a
Favorit
to
Henry
the
Fourth
,
whom
he
had
reduc'd
from
a
Roman
to
be
a
Reformist
when
he
was
King
of
Navar
onely
,
and
perswading
him
to
become
Roman
again
,
the
Duke
bluntly
answer'd
;
Sir
,
You
have
given
me
one
turn
already
,
you
have
good
luck
if
you
give
me
any
more
:
Thereupon
the
siege
began
,
and
the
great
Duke
of
Mayn
who
had
newly
come
with
additionall
forces
to
the
King
began
the
first
battery
and
spent
500.
Cannon
bullets
upon
them
,
a
breach
was
made
,
but
with
losse
of
divers
men
of
note
amongst
the
Royallists
;
the
Marquis
of
Themines
breath'd
there
his
last
:
And
not
long
after
the
brave
Duke
of
Mayn
himself
peeping
out
of
a
gabion
within
his
trenches
,
was
shot
by
a
common
soldier
from
the
Town
;
The
Parisians
were
much
incens'd
for
the
losse
of
the
Duke
of
Mayn
,
therfore
as
some
of
the
reformed
Religion
were
coming
from
Charenton-Sermon
they
assaulted
them
in
the
way
,
hurt
divers
,
kil'd
some
,
and
going
on
to
Charenton
,
they
burnt
the
Temple
there
;
but
a
few
nights
after
two
great
bridges
ore
the
Seinn
were
burnt
quite
down
to
the
water
in
the
City
of
Paris
,
and
a
great
store
of
wealth
consum'd
,
and
it
was
interpreted
to
be
a
just
judgement
from
Heaven
for
burning
of
Charenton
Temple
.
The
Duke
of
Angoulesm
was
sent
to
counter-car
the
forces
of
the
Duke
of
Rohan
who
was
then
in
motion
in
Guyen
,
and
Angoulesm
was
so
succesfull
that
he
gave
him
a
considerable
defeat
,
by
taking
the
strong
Fort
of
Fauch
,
in
defence
whereof
400.
of
the
Reformists
were
slain
.
The
contagion
rag'd
furiously
in
the
Kings
Army
before
Montauban
,
and
divers
persons
of
quality
died
of
it
,
amongst
others
the
Archbishop
of
Sens
brother
to
Cardinall
Perron
,
and
the
Bishops
of
Valentia
,
Carcassona
,
and
Marseillis
,
and
Pierre
Matthieu
the
Historiographer
added
to
the
number
of
the
dead
.
This
,
with
the
approach
of
Winter
caus'd
the
King
to
raise
his
siege
from
before
the
Town
,
having
lost
above
five
hundred
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
of
qualitie
,
besides
thousands
of
common
souldiers
.
During
this
pertinacious
siege
before
Montauban
there
was
a
remarquable
thing
pass'd
,
which
was
this
.
There
was
a
cunning
report
rais'd
in
the
Kings
Army
that
Rochell
,
which
was
then
also
beleaguer'd
by
the
Count
of
Soissons
,
and
the
Duke
of
Guyse
,
the
first
by
Land
,
the
Anno
1621.
other
by
Sea
,
was
rendred
upon
composition
;
this
report
was
made
to
fly
into
Montauban
,
which
must
needs
strike
a
shrewd
apprehension
of
fear
into
her
;
they
of
Rochell
hearing
of
it
,
articled
with
Master
Hicks
an
English
Gentleman
(
now
Sir
Ellis
Hicks
)
who
spake
the
Language
perfectly
well
,
that
if
he
would
undertake
to
carry
a
Letter
into
Montauban
,
he
should
receive
a
noble
reward
;
Master
Hicks
undertook
it
,
and
passing
through
the
Army
that
was
before
Rochell
came
to
Tholouse
,
where
my
Lord
of
Carlile
was
then
Ambassador
extraordinary
▪
Master
Hicks
meeting
with
Master
Fairfax
a
young
Gentileman
(
brother
to
the
now
Lord
Fairfax
)
he
did
associat
much
with
him
;
They
both
went
to
see
the
siege
before
Montauban
,
and
being
Gentlemen
and
thought
to
be
of
the
English
Ambassadors
train
,
there
was
little
heed
taken
of
them
;
They
got
one
day
between
the
Kings
Trenches
and
the
Town
,
and
Hicks
being
very
well
mounted
told
Fairfax
,
If
you
love
your
life
follow
me
,
so
he
put
spurs
to
his
horse
&
having
showers
of
shots
powr'd
after
him
he
came
safe
to
the
gates
of
Montauban
,
and
so
he
deliver'd
the
intrusted
Letter
,
which
brought
news
in
what
a
good
posture
Rochell
was
;
this
so
animated
the
besieged
,
that
the
next
day
they
made
a
sally
upon
the
Kings
Forces
;
and
did
a
notable
execution
upon
them
,
and
a
little
after
the
Siege
was
rais'd
;
so
Master
Hicks
besides
the
honor
of
the
act
had
a
guerdon
equall
to
the
importance
of
the
service
,
and
danger
of
the
attempt
;
but
Master
Fairfax
(
who
was
inscious
of
the
dessein
)
staying
behind
and
being
apprehended
,
was
put
to
the
torture
,
and
a
Diaper
napkin
dipt
in
boyling
water
was
squeaz'd
down
his
throat
,
whereof
he
died
:
a
hard
destiny
of
a
most
hopefull
young
Gentleman
.
Within
the
compasse
of
this
yeer
there
died
Paul
the
Fift
,
Philip
the
Third
of
Spain
,
the
Arch-Duke
Albertus
in
Flanders
,
Cosmo
de
Medicis
Gran
Duke
of
Toscany
,
and
Cardinall
Bellarmin
▪
To
whom
may
be
added
also
the
Duke
of
Luynes
Lord
high
Constable
of
France
,
who
died
in
Longuetille
,
a
small
Town
in
Languedoc
,
of
the
purple
feavor
;
He
was
one
of
the
greatest
Favourits
,
for
so
short
a
time
,
that
ever
were
in
France
,
since
the
Maires
of
the
Palace
from
whom
Emperours
afterwards
issued
;
His
Countrey
was
Provence
,
and
he
was
a
Gentleman
by
descent
though
of
a
petty
extraction
;
In
the
last
Kings
time
he
was
preferd
to
be
one
of
his
Pages
,
who
finding
him
a
good
waytor
,
allowed
him
three
hundred
crowns
per
an
.
which
he
husbanded
so
frugally
,
that
he
maintain'd
himself
and
his
two
brothers
in
passable
good
fashion
.
The
King
observing
that
,
doubled
his
pension
,
and
taking
notice
that
he
was
a
serviceable
instrument
,
and
apt
to
please
,
he
thought
him
fit
to
be
about
his
son
(
the
Dauphin
)
in
whose
service
he
had
continued
above
15.
yeers
,
&
by
a
singular
dexteritie
he
had
in
Faulconry
he
gain'd
so
far
upon
the
young
Kings
affection
,
that
he
soard
to
that
high
pitch
of
Honor.
He
was
a
man
of
a
passable
understanding
,
of
a
mild
comportment
,
humble
and
debonnair
to
all
suters
,
but
he
was
too
open
in
his
counsels
and
desseins
;
he
had
about
him
good
solid
heads
who
prescrib'd
unto
him
rules
of
policy
,
Anno
1621.
by
whose
compasse
he
steer'd
his
cours
;
He
came
at
last
to
that
transcendent
altitude
,
that
he
seem'd
to
have
surmounted
all
reaches
of
envie
,
and
made
all
hopes
of
supplanting
him
frustrat
,
both
by
the
constant
strength
of
the
Kings
favor
,
and
the
powerfull
alliances
he
had
got
for
himself
,
and
his
two
brothers
:
He
married
the
Duke
of
Montbazons
daughter
;
his
second
brother
Cadenet
the
Heiresse
of
Pequigny
with
whom
he
had
9000.
pound
lands
a
yeer
:
His
third
brother
married
the
Heiresse
of
Luxemburg
,
of
which
House
there
have
bin
five
Emperors
;
so
that
the
three
Brothers
with
their
alliances
were
able
to
counterbalance
any
one
Faction
in
France
:
He
left
two
living
Monuments
of
his
greatnes
behind
him
,
which
were
his
two
brothers
,
one
whereof
was
Marshall
,
but
both
of
them
Dukes
and
Peers
of
France
.
The
repulse
before
Montauban
,
and
the
death
of
Luynes
gave
some
matter
of
resentment
to
the
King
for
the
present
,
but
he
quickly
pass'd
it
over
:
And
having
settled
matters
to
his
best
advantage
in
Guyen
,
he
return'd
to
Bourdeaux
,
and
so
came
to
keep
his
Christmas
at
Paris
.
The
Spring
following
he
gets
a
horseback
again
,
and
it
was
high
time
for
him
,
in
regard
there
was
a
generall
insurrection
of
them
of
the
Religion
both
in
Dauphiné
,
Languedoc
,
Guyen
and
Poitou
.
In
the
last
Soubize
had
got
a
considerable
army
of
7000.
foot
,
and
600.
horse
,
and
9.
Pieces
of
Ordnance
.
The
King
parts
from
Paris
upon
Palm-Sunday
which
was
cryed
up
to
be
a
good
augury
that
he
would
return
with
the
Palm
the
Emblem
of
victory
;
so
marching
to
Poitou
,
he
found
out
Soubize
entrench'd
in
certain
little
Islands
call'd
Rie
&
Perier
:
upon
the
Kings
approach
Soubize
abandons
the
place
,
and
with
a
few
Horse
got
along
the
sands
to
Rochell
;
the
whole
Army
being
thus
left
headlesse
,
in
a
fearfull
consternation
all
began
to
flie
,
and
some
thought
to
save
themselfs
through
the
Marasse
,
where
many
hundreds
miserably
perished
,
those
that
stayed
behind
the
King
were
pardon'd
,
only
13.
were
hang'd
for
example
,
and
they
were
some
of
those
that
had
taken
an
oath
at
Saint
Iohn
d'
Angely
never
to
bear
arms
against
the
King
;
there
were
kill'd
and
drown'd
in
all
above
two
thousand
Reformists
in
this
rencounter
.
After
this
Royan
was
rendred
after
a
pertinacious
siege
;
and
a
great
slaughter
on
both
sides
;
The
King
thence
marcheth
to
Guyen
,
where
the
Duke
of
Elbaeuf
had
done
divers
exploits
;
Insomuch
that
in
a
short
time
all
the
towns
of
Guyen
were
reduc'd
to
the
King
except
Montauban
;
amongst
others
there
were
three
towns
call'd
Tonnenx
knotted
one
in
another
,
which
were
utterly
extinguish'd
,
with
prohibition
for
any
ever
to
build
there
again
.
Being
in
Carcassona
upon
his
March
to
Montpellier
,
there
were
two
signall
things
done
,
Soubize
was
proclaim'd
Traitor
for
flying
to
England
to
sollicit
for
forrein
ayd
;
And
old
Lesdeguiers
,
was
made
Constable
of
France
;
Chastillon
also
a
little
after
came
to
be
Marshall
for
giving
up
Aiguemortes
;
the
first
had
that
high
Office
,
provided
he
would
go
to
Masso
,
which
he
did
;
but
Anno
1622.
the
last
persisted
still
in
his
Religion
.
The
King
appear'd
now
in
Person
before
Montpellier
,
and
a
great
deal
of
earth
was
thrown
up
by
his
Pioners
before
he
came
,
the
trenches
being
almost
finish'd
,
there
were
divers
furious
Sallies
from
within
▪
and
Assaults
from
without
happen'd
in
this
Siege
,
and
many
gallant
Gentlemen
lost
,
amongst
others
the
young
Duke
of
Fronsack
unic
son
to
the
Count
of
Saint
Paul
,
was
condol'd
with
much
regret
.
And
the
King
was
like
to
have
had
the
same
fortune
there
,
which
he
had
before
Montauban
,
had
not
the
Duke
of
Vendosme
come
with
a
timely
supply
of
five
thousand
fresh
combatants
.
The
Duke
of
Rohan
,
and
Constable
Lesdiguieres
,
old
in
yeers
and
new
in
Office
,
had
privat
meetings
;
the
former
going
into
the
Town
,
carried
the
busines
with
that
power
,
and
wrought
so
far
upon
the
affections
of
the
Inhabitants
of
Montpellier
,
that
he
made
them
inclinable
to
let
in
the
King
,
provided
that
their
fortifications
might
continue
entire
,
and
that
they
might
be
exempt
from
Cittadel
,
Governor
or
Garrison
,
upon
such
termes
,
they
with
the
whole
body
of
the
Religion
would
conform
themselfs
to
a
generall
Peace
,
which
was
a
little
after
proclaim'd
before
Montpellier
in
form
of
an
Edict
,
to
this
effect
.
That
the
Edict
of
Nants
,
with
the
secret
Articles
thereunto
annexed
should
be
inviolably
kept
,
as
under
the
raign

Great
;
That
the
exercise
of
the
Catholic
Roman
Religion
should
be
reestablish'd
where
it
hath
bin
interrupted
,
and
the
Ecclesiasticks
restor'd
to
all
their
goods
;
That
likewise
they
of
the
Reformed
Religion
should
exercise
it
freely
in
all
those
places
,
where
it
was
practis'd
before
these
commotions
▪
That
all
new
fortifications
should
be
demolish'd
,
specially
in
the
Islands
of
Re
&
Oleron
,
and
the
old
wals
only
stand
;
That
all

for
the
futur
,
unlesse
it
be
upon
affairs
purely
Ecclesiastic
,
under
pain
of
the
crime
of
Treason
;
That
an
abolition
be
granted
of
every
thing
pass'd
except
of
those
execrable
cases
reserv'd
by
the
Article
86.
of
the
Edict
of
Nants
;
That
Catholicks
as
well
as
Reformists
be
chosen
promiscuously
in
civill
Offices
,
&c.
This
being
done
,
the
Deputies
of
the
Reformed
Churches
coming
to
attend
the
King
,
they
were
made
to
stoop
at
the
entrance
of
the
Kings
lodging
,
and
afterward
having
first
desir'd
pardon
,
they
presented
the
Keys
of
the
Town
unto
him
;
So
the
next
day
he
entred
the
Town
,
and
having
settled
all
things
thereabouts
,
the
King
went
to
Provence
,
and
so
to
Avignon
the
Popes
Town
,
where
the
old
Duke
of
Savoy
came
to
visit
him
;
Thence
he
returns
to
Lyon
,
where
he
found
the
two
Queens
;
The
Prince
and
Princesse
of
Savoy
came
also
thither
to
attend
him
.
Geneva
likewise
sent
thither
her
Deputies
,
who
made
an
Oration
to
the
King
upon
their
knees
all
the
while
.
From
Lyon
He
came
triumphantly
to
Paris
to
begin
the
new
yeer
,
1623.
in
Peace
,
after
such
a
long
Martial
progres
.
While
the
King
was
himself
in
person
up
and
down
Poitou
and
Guyen
to
represse
them
of
the
Religion
;
the
Duke
of
Guyse
by
Sea
,
Anno
1623.
(
who
had
an
Auxiliary
Fleet
of
eight
of
the
King
of
Englands
Ships
joyn'd
with
him
for
which
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
was
afterwards
questioned
in
Parliament
)
and
the
Count
of
Soissons
by
Land
did
pinch
the
Rochellers
;
Soissons
rais'd
up
a
strong
tenable
bulwark
,
which
he
call'd
Lewis-fort
,
that
commanded
the
Chanell
Sea-ward
,
and
gave
the
law
by
Land
.
The
generall
Pacification
published
at
Montpellier
was
but
a
peece
slightly
plaister'd
over
,
it
was
far
from
searching
the
bottom
,
from
cleansing
and
curing
the
wound
,
for
many
discontents
raign'd
still
amongst
them
of
the
Religion
,
they
complain'd
that
Lewis-fort
before
Rochell
was
not
demolish'd
being
a
new
fortification
,
and
they
spoak
of
other
grievances
;
the
King
on
the
other
side
complain'd
,
they
had
not
reestablish'd
the
Ecclesiasticks
in
their
Primitive
possessions
,
nor
chosen
Catholicks
in
Civill
Offices
.
This
being
profoundly
debated
in
the
Counsell
of
State
,
some
,
as
the
Church-men
,
and
Nobles
,
gave
their
opinion
,
that
,
rather
then
to
be
in
such
continuall
trances
and
alarms
,
his
Majesty
should
with
his
main
entire
strength
apply
himself
to
extinguish
both
the
Rebellion
and
the
Heresie
(
as
they
term'd
it
)
totally
together
,
as
the
effect
with
the
cause
;
because
his
Majesty
was
not
in
case
to
do
any
thing
abroad
,
while
they
were
left
so
strong
at
home
,
for
as
one
of
the
Counsellors
said
,
He
that
hath
theeves
to
his
neighbours
dares
not
goe
far
from
home
.
Others
were
of
a
contrary
opinion
,
that
it
was
very
requisit
there
should
be
a
generall
peace
now
'twixt
the
French
people
,
because
of
the
businesse
of
the
Valtolin
,
where
the
Spaniard
had
a
purpose
to
block
out
France
in
all
places
towards
Italy
,
which
was
very
necessary
to
be
prevented
,
so
that
it
was
not
fit
to
enfeeble
France
at
this
time
by
attempting
to
extinguish
them
of
the
Religion
,
and
to
plunge
the
whole
Countrey
in
an
intestine
war
,
for
it
was
as
if
one
would
cut
off
his
left
hand
with
the
right
.
This
last
counsell
took
more
with
the
King
,
and
so
he
left
no
way
unessayed
to
reunite
all
his
subjects
:
Hereupon
to
content
the
Reformists
,
he
caus'd
their
Temples
to
be
reedified
,
he
appointed
60000.
Franks
for
the
payment
of
their
Ministers
,
and
permitted
them
to
call
a
Synod
at
Charenton
,
with
divers
other
acts
of
compliance
;
provided
,
that
on
their
part
they
should
entertain
no
strangers
for
preachers
,
nor
admit
Ministers
into
politic
Assemblies
.
In
these
difficulties
and
anxious
traverses
of
things
,
the
King
made
Anno
1624.
the
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
his
principall
Minister
of
State
,
chiefe
of
his
Counsell
,
and
Director
generall
under
his
authority
in
the
government
of
the
State
.
He
made
this
election
by
the
advice
of
the
Queen
Mother
principally
,
nor
was
it
an
improper
choice
,
for
the
party
had
a
concurrence
of
high
abilities
in
him
,
answerable
to
that
transcendent
trust
:
and
he
prov'd
,
as
will
appear
by
the
sequele
of
things
,
a
succesfull
Instrument
;
though
many
doubt
whether
his
Counsel
was
as
succesfull
to
France
,
as
it
was
fatall
to
the
rest
of
Christendom
,
which
he
hath
plung'd
in
an
eternall
war
:
touching
this
we
leave
the
Ingenious
Anno
1624.
Reader
a
freedom
of
censure
,
according
as
his
judgement
shall
be
guided
by
an
unpartiall
,
and
unbiass'd
relation
of
matters
,
as
they
ly
connected
in
the
ensuing
part
of
this
story
.
Thus
our
third
Lustre
concludes
,
with
the
commencement
of
Richelieus
greatnes
.
The
fourth
Lustre
of
the
Life
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
.
WE
began
the
last
lustre
with
the
espousals
of
the
Lady
Christina
,
Anno
1625.
second
daughter
of
France
,
with
the
Prince
of
Piemont
,
this
begins
with
the
mariage
of
the
Lady
Henriette
Marie
de
Bourbon
,
the
yongest
Royall
branch
of
Henry
the
Great
;
and
this
was
the
first
great
act
that
the
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
performed
,
after
he
was
come
to
the
superintendency
of
affairs
of
State
.
France
had
two
causes
of
perpetuall
apprehensions
of
fear
,
one
external
,
th'
other
internal
;
The
still
growing
greatnesse
of
Spain
without
,
and
They
of
the
Religion
within
doors
,
which
were
made
frequent
use
of
by
any
discontented
Princes
upon
all
occasions
;
and
were
cryed
up
by
the
Jesuits
to
be
as
Matches
to
set
France
on
fire
at
any
time
;
Therefore
the
first
gran
dessein
that
he
projected
with
himself
was
to
clip
their
wings
,
and
diminish
their
strength
,
by
dismantling
their
Cautionary
Towns
,
and
making
them
dismisse
their
Garrisons
:
The
Cardinal
knew
the
King
his
Master
did
not
affect
them
since
the
Treaty
at
Lodun
,
wherein
they
forc'd
him
to
put
another
interpretation
upon
his
Coronation
Oth
,
then
his
conscience
did
dictat
unto
him
,
or
the
Prelat
,
who
administred
it
unto
him
,
meant
;
which
appear'd
in
a
churlish
answer
that
he
gave
them
not
long
after
when
he
was
solicited
to
prolong
the
terme
of
holding
their
Cautionary
Towns
as
Henry
the
Third
,
and
Henry
the
Great
his
father
had
done
.
Which
answer
was
,
That
what
grace
the
first
did
shew
you
,
was
out
of
fear
,
what
my
father
did
,
was
out
of
love
;
but
I
would
have
you
know
,
that
I
neither
fear
you
nor
love
you
.
To
compasse
that
great
work
of
taking
from
them
their
Garrison
Towns
,
it
was
thought
very
expedient
to
secure
forren
Princes
from
assisting
them
,
specially
England
,
and
the
united
Provinces
;
Touching
the
latter
,
they
were
charm'd
with
money
;
for
in
a
fresh
Treaty
,
the
King
accorded
them
a
million
of
Franks
,
and
six
hundred
thousand
Franks
every
one
of
the
two
yeers
next
ensuing
;
which
they
were
to
re-inburse
the
next
two
yeers
that
they
should
conclude
a
peace
or
truce
with
Spain
.
The
Holland-Ambassadors
who
were
employed
in
this
Treatie
did
promise
the
King
that
there
should
be
libertie
of
conscience
given
the
Catholiks
at
his
Majesties
request
;
That
Anno
1625.
the
States
should
associat
the
French
with
them
in
the
commerce
of
the
Indies
,
give
them
some
choice
ports
for
traffic
,
and
repaire
some
depraedations
they
had
made
by
sea
;
but
the
money
being
once
got
,
there
was
little
care
taken
to
perform
these
promises
;
which
were
no
more
then
parol
engagements
or
rather
complements
;
whereupon
an
Ambassador
was
expressely
sent
to
complain
hereof
,
but
he
effected
little
.
To
secure
England
from
succouring
Them
of
the
Religion
,
the
first
overture
that
the
Erl
of
Holland
made
for
an
alliance
was
yeelded
unto
;
to
whom
the
Erl
of
Carlile
was
sent
in
joynt
commission
to
conclude
it
;
The
King
told
them
,
that
he
took
it
for
an
honour
,
that
they
sought
his
sister
for
the
sole
sonne
of
so
illustrious
a
King
his
neighbour
and
Allie
;
onely
he
desir'd
that
he
might
send
to
Rome
to
have
the
Popes
consent
for
better
satisfaction
of
his
conscience
,
and
in
the
mean
time
the
English
Ambassadors
might
send
for
a
more
plenary
power
to
England
;
so
in
lesse
then
the
revolution
of
nine
moons
this
great
businesse
was
propos'd
,
poursued
and
perfected
,
whereas
the
Sun
ran
his
carreer
through
the
Zodiac
ten
times
before
that
Spain
could
come
to
any
point
of
perfection
;
This
may
serve
to
shew
the
difference
twixt
the
two
Nations
,
the
leaden
heel'd
pace
of
the
one
,
and
the
quicksilver'd
motions
of
the
other
;
it
shewes
also
how
the
French
is
more
round
and
frank
in
his
proceedings
,
not
so
full
of
scruples
,
reservations
and
jealousies
as
the
Spaniard
:
And
one
reason
that
the
Statists
of
the
time
alledg'd
why
Spain
amus'd
the
English
,
and
protracted
the
Treaty
of
the
Match
so
long
,
was
,
that
all
the
daughters
of
France
might
be
first
married
to
prevent
an
alliance
'twixt
England
and
her
.
There
was
a
concurrence
of
many
things
that
favor'd
the
effecting
and
expediting
of
this
alliance
:
some
previous
Offices
and
Letters
of
invitation
from
France
,
wherein
there
were
strains
of
extraordinary
endearments
,
wherewith
the
King
of
Great
Britain
corresponded
also
in
an
unusuall
stile
,
as
appears
by
this
Letter
following
.
Most
high
,
most
excellent
,
and
most
puissant
Prince
,
Our
most
deer
,
and
most
beloved
good
Brother
,
Cousen
and
ancient
Ally
:
Although
the
deceased
King
of
happy
memory
was
justly
call'd
Henry
the
Great
,
for
having
re-conquer'd
by
arms
his
Kingdom
of
France
,
though
it
appertain'd
unto
him
as
his
proper
inheritance
;
Yet
you
have
made
now
a
greater
conquest
;
for
the
Kingdom
of
France
though
it
was
regain'd
by
the
victorious
arms
of
your
dead
father
,
it
was
his
de
jure
,
and
so
he
got
but
his
own
:
But
you
have
lately
carried
away
a
greater
victory
,
having
by
your
two
last
Letters
so
full
of
cordiall
courtesies
,
overcome
your
good
Brother
,
and
ancient
Ally
,
and
all
the
Kingdoms
appertaining
unto
him
;
for
We
acknowledge
Our self
so
conquer'd
by
your
more
then
brotherly
affection
,
that
We
cannot
return
you
the
like
:
onely
we
can
promise
and
assure
you
upon
the
faith
of
an
honest
man
,
that
you
shall
have
alwayes
power
not
onely
to
dispose
of
Our
forces
and
kingdoms
,
but
of
Our
heart
and
person
,
and
also
of
the
person
of
Our
son
if
you
have
need
,
which
God
prevent
:
praying
you
to
rest
assured
that
We
shall
not
onely
be
far
from
cherishing
,
or
giving
the
least
countenance
to
any
of
Anno
1625.
your
subjects
,
of
what
profession
soever
of
Religion
,
who
shall
forget
their
naturall
allegiance
unto
you
,
but
if
We
have
the
least
inkling
thereof
,
We
shall
send
you
very
faithfull
advertisement
:
And
you
may
promise
your self
that
upon
such
occasion
,
or
upon
any
other
which
may
tend
to
the
honor
of
your
Crown
,
you
shall
alwayes
have
power
to
dispose
freely
of
Our
assistance
,
as
if
the
cause
were
Our
own
;
so
upon
assurance
that
Our
interests
shall
be
alwayes
common
,
We
pray
God
,
most
high
,
most
excellent
and
most
puissant
Prince
,
Our
most
deer
,
and
most
beloved
Brother
,
Cousen
and
Ally
,
to
have
you
alwayes
in
his
most
holy
protection

K.
The
Critiques
of
the
time
did
much
censure
this
Letter
in
regard
King
Iames
seems
to
dis-invest
himself
utterly
of
all
Title
to
France
thereby
,
because
he
confesseth
Henry
the
Fourth
to
have
not
onely
reconquer'd
it
,
but
to
have
a
naturall
right
unto
it
in
the
said
Letter
.
The
former
Treaty
for
the
Infanta
of
Spaine
did
facilitat
also
the
hastning
of
this
businesse
,
and
made
it
lesse
knotty
,
in
regard
that
the
matrimonial
capitulations
which
in
effect
were
the
very
same
with
those
of
the
Infanta's
,
had
bin
beaten
and
moulded
a
long
time
before
upon
the
Spanish
Anvill
,
and
so
made
smooth
and

They
were
in
substance
these

follow
.
-
1.
That
the
French
King
should
make
it
his

That
for
the
celebration
of
the
act
of
affiancing
,
the

should

pleas'd
,
and
that
it
be
done
according
to
the
Roman
rites
.
-
3.
That
the
mariage
be
solemniz'd
in
the
same
forme
as
that
of

,
and
the

of
Bar
was
.
-
4.
That
she
be
attended
to
the
Sea
side
upon
the
charge
of
France
.
-
5.
That
the
contract
of
mariage
be
publiquely
ratified
in
England
without
intervention
of
any
Ecclesiastic
ceremony
.
-
6.
That
free
exercise
of
Religion
be
granted
unto
Madam
her self
and
all
her
train
,
and
to
the
children
that
her
servants
shall
have
.
And
to
that
end
they
shall
have
a
Chappel
in
every
one
of
the
Kings
Royall
Houses
,
or
any
where
els
where
she
shall
keep
her
Court
.
-
7.
That
preaching
,
and
the
administration
of
the
Sacraments
of
the
Masse
,
with
all
other
Divine
Offices
be
permitted

,
as
also
the
gaining
of
all
Indulgences
and
Jubils
from
Rome
;
and
that
a
Church-yard
be
appointed
wall'd
about
to
bury
Catholiks
according
to
the
Rites
of
the
Roman
Church
,
all
which
shall
be
done
modestly
.
-
8.
That
she
shall
have
a
Bishop
for
her
Almoner
who
may
have
power
to
proceed
against
any
Ecclesiastic

his
charge
according
to
the
Canonicall
constitutions
:
And
in
case
the
Secular

This
was
the
substance
of
all
the
Matrimoniall
capitulations
which
were
digested
to
28.
Articles
,
with
a
penalty
of
four
hundred
thousand
crowns
upon
either
of
the
two
Kings
which
should
infringe
any
of
them
.
Besides
these
,
there
were
some
privat
Articles
accorded
in
favour
of
the
Roman
Catholiks
in
England
and
Ireland
,
but
far
from
the
latitude
of
a
public
Toleration
.
Upon
the
ending
of
this
great
Treaty
with
France
Iames
the
First
of
England
,
and
Sixth
of
Scotland
ended
his
life
in
his
Palace
at
Theobalds
;
A
little
before
,
he
broak
out
into
a
very
passionate
Speech
to
his
Lords
of
the
Counsel
of
the
King
of
France
;
saying
,
My
Lords
,
the
King
of
France
hath
writ
unto
me
that
he
is
so
far
my
friend
,
that
if
ever
I
have
need
of
him
,
he
will
render
me
Offices
in
Person
whensoever
I
shall
desire
him
;
Truly
,
he
hath
gain'd
upon
me
more
then
any
of
his
Predecessors
,
and
he
may
beleeve
me
,
that
in
any
thing
that
shall
concern
him
I
will
employ
not
only
my
peoples
lifes
,
but
mine
own
;
and
whosoever
of
his
subjects
shall
rise
against
him
either
Catholiks
or
others
,
shall
find
me
a
party
for
him
:
'T
is
true
,
if
he
be
provok'd
to
infringe
his
Edicts
,
I
shall
impart
as
much
as
in
me
lies
,
by
counsell
and
advice
to
prevent
the
inconveniences
.
Then
falling
upon
the
perfections
of
Madame
Henriette
Marie
,
he
said
pleasantly
,
When
she
is
come
over
I
will
denounce
war
against
her
,
because
she
would
not
read
my
Letter
,
nor
my
sons
,
as
I
understand
,
before
she
had
first
receiv'd
command
from
the
Queen
her
Mother
;
yet
I
have
cause
to
thank
her
,
because
that
after
she
had
perus'd
them
,
she
put
mine
in
her
cushionet
,
and
the
other
in
her
bosome
,
intimating
thereby
that
she
would
rely
upon
me
(
for
counsell
)
and
lodg
my
son
in
her
heart
.
King
Iame's
death
retarded
a
while
the
proceedings
of
the
Match
,
for
things
were
at
a
stand
till
his
Exequies
were
pass'd
,
which
were
perform'd
with
a
Magnificence
sutable
to
so
great
a
King
.
This
Ceremony
being
ended
a
procuration
was
sent
the
Duke
of
Cheureuse
from
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
to
be
contracted
unto
the
Lady
Henriette
and
then
to
marry
her
in
his
name
,
which
was
done
with
extraordinary
celebrity
,
the
one
in
the
Louure
,
the
last
in
the
great
Church
of
Paris
by
the
ministery
of
the
Cardinall
Rochefaucaud
;
a
little
before
there
was
a
clash
twixt
him
and
the
Bishop
of
Paris
,
who
urg'd
,
it
was
his
right
to
officiat
in
his
own
Church
,
but
the
Cardinal
being
a
Prince
of
the
Church
Universall
,
being
also
gran
Almoner
which
makes
him
chief
Clark
of
the
Court
,
and
Cardinal
Richelieu
,
who
had
now
the
greatest
stroak
in
the
State
,
favoring
his
own
habit
and
the
Hat
more
then
the
Mitre
,
the
Cardinal
carried
the
day
:
This
solemnity
was
perform'd
to
the
very
height
of
greatnes
and
splendor
;
and
such
was
the
bravery
of
the
English
Ambassadors
the
Earls
of
Carlile
and
Holland
,
that
they
seem'd
to
outshine
the
French
that
day
in
their
own
Sphere
;
One
half
of
the
dowry
had
bin
delivered
before
upon
the
Contract
,
which
was
in
all
,
as
was
said
before
,
eight
hundred
thousand
crowns
,
and
it
was
more
then
the
eldest
Sister
had
by
two
hundred
thousand
crowns
,
and
double
as
much
as
the
second
Anno
1625.
had
,
the
one
having
but
six
hundred
thousand
,
the
other
but
foure
hundred
thousand
crowns
to
their
portions
.
The
Contract
and
Mariage
being
thus
finish'd
,
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
came
a
fortnight
after
with
admired
gallantry
,
to
demand
the
Queen
of
Great
Britain
for
the
King
his
Master
,
and
to
attend
,
and
conduct
her
over
to
England
.
The
Queen
Mother
accompagnied
her
as
far
as
Amiens
,
Monsieur
her
Brother
to
Bullen
,
whence
a
Fleet
of
twenty
Galeons
Royall
transported
her
to
Dover
.
This
was
the
eighth
Nuptiall
conjunction
of
the
Rose
and
Flowerdeluce
that
hath
happend
'twixt
England
and
France
.
The
first
was
in
the
yeer
900.
'twixt
Charles
the
First
of
France
,
and
the
Lady
Ogine
daughter
to
Edward
the
old
King
of
England
,
120.
yeers
before
the
Norman
conquest
.
The
second
twixt
Henry
the
Third
of
England
,
and
Margaret
daughter
to
Lewis
the
Seventh
of
France
.
The
third
was
between
Edward
the
First
of
England
,
and
the
Lady
Margaret
daughter
to
Philip
the
Hardy
of
France
.
The
fourth
'twixt
Edward
the
Second
of
England
,
and
Isabel
daughter
to
Philip
the
Faire
.
The
fifth
was
'twixt
Richard
the
Second
of
England
,
and
Elizabeth
daughter
to
Charles
the
Sixth
.
The
sixth
'twixt
Henry
the
Fifth
of
England
,
and
Catherin
daughter
also
to
Charles
the
Sixth
of
France
.
The
seventh
was
'twixt
Lewis
the
twelfth
of
France
,
and
Mary
daughter
to
Henry
the
Seventh
of
England
.
The
eighth
was
this
'twixt
Charles
Stuard
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
Henriette
Marie
of
Bourbon
youngest
daughter
to
Henry
the
Great
:
so
in
these
eight
Matches
England
hath
had
six
daughters
of
France
,
and
France
two
of
Englands
.
As
soon
as
this
great
Nuptiall
pompe
was
pass'd
,
there
came
tydings
that
Soubize
upon
a
new
discontent
of
them
of
the
Religion
,
had
a
great
Fleet
of
ships
at
Sea
,
and
surpriz'd
the
Port
of
Blauet
in
Britany
,
which
is
a
faire
and
large
Haven
deposited
to
the
Spaniard
in
time
of
the
Ligue
,
and
restored
to
Henry
the
Great
at
the
peace
at
Vervins
;
Soubize
enterd
the
Haven
with
eleven
Sayle
of
men
of
War
,
and
took
and
carried
away
six
great
ships
whereof
some
belong'd
to
the
Duke
of
Nevers
.
This
rendred
them
of
the
Religion
powerfull
at
Sea
,
and
because
their
Ships
might
have
choise
of
harbors
,
they
seiz'd
upon
the
Islands
of
Re
,
and
Oleron
where
they
began
to
fortifie
.
Soubize
sayles
up
the
Garond
towards
Bourdeaux
with
a
Fleet
of
seventy
sayles
of
all
sort
which
made
him
Master
of
the
Sea
,
and
landing
a
considerable
number
of
land
forces
at
the
land
of
Medoc
,
they
of
Bourdeaux
joyning
with
Toiras
sent
him
a
shipboard
again
with
losse
,
and
so
he
return'd
to
Rochell
.
A
little
after
he
sets
out
to
Sea
again
,
and
takes
divers
prises
,
extremely
interrupting
all
traffic
on
those
Coasts
;
Hereupon
the
King
sent
to
the
Hollander
to
hyre
twenty
Sayle
of
men
of
War
,
according
Anno
1625.
to
the
late
Treaty
;
which
were
accordingly
sent
him
under
Admirall
Hauthain
;
These
joyning
with
another
Fleet
of
the
Duke
of
Monmorency
made
a
considerable
naval
power
;
Monmorency
was
very
eagar
to
set
upon
Soubize
and
the
Rochell
Fleet
,
but
he
found
the
Hollanders
bacward
and
cold
,
being
charm'd
by
Letters
and
a
Remonstance
annexed
unto
it
sent
to
Hauthain
by
two
French
Ministers
,
and
two
Dutch
Merchants
from
Rochell
,
wherein
they
made
piteous
complaint
that
the
King
had
performed
little
or
nothing
at
all
of
the
Treaty
before
Montpellier
,
and
that
the
utter
ruine
of
the
whole
body
of
the
Religion
(
which
was
the
same
with
that
of
Holland
)
was
intended
,
therefore
they
did
efflagitat
,
and
conjure
the
said
Admiral
Hauthain
to
lay
his
hand
on
his
heart
and
conscience
,
and
not
to
contribute
to
so
damnable
a
dessein
.
This
Remonstrance
wrought
much
upon
Hauthain
and
Dorp
his
Vice-Admiral
,
in
so
much
that
he
publiquely
declar'd
unto
the
Duke
of
Monmorency
that
he
had
Commission
in
expresse
termes
from
his
Masters
the
States
,
to
reduce
Monsieur
Soubize
to
his
duty
,
either
by
reason
or
force
;
that
he
understood
how
he
was
ready
to
conforme
himself
to
the
first
,
and
to
that
effect
he
and
his
Brother
the
Duke
of
Rohan
with
other
Towns
of
their
party
,
had
Deputies
employed
to
the
King
to
desire
Peace
which
was
in
a
good
forwardnes
;
therefore
it
was
needlesse
to
force
them
to
their
duty
,
which
were
willing
to
do
it
of
their
own
motion
.
So
the
Hollanders
refus'd
to
fight
,
yet
the
Rochell
fleet
not
fully
knowing
their
intention
fell
unwares
upon
them
and
burnt
their
Vice-Admirall
,
but
attempting
to
boord
some
French
,
they
were
repuls'd
with
the
losse
of
three
hundred
men
,
and
four
Barks
full
of
hurt
men
:
this
nettled
Hans
,
&
afterwards
seriously
he
joyn'd
with
the
French
Royall
Fleet
,
which
had
receiv'd
an
addition
of
seven
English
Ships
under
the
command
of
Chevalier
de
Ris
,
and
twenty
two
more
under
the
Marquis
of
Royan
;
so
that
the
whole
number
coming
to
sixty
six
sayles
,
they
divided
themselfs
to
three
Squadrons
:
In
the
first
was
Monmorency
and
Hauthain
;
Dorp
commanded
the
second
,
and
the
third
was
under
Manty
Monmorency's
Vice-Admiral
:
Soubize
had
got
into
the
Isle
of
Ré
where
he
had
intrench'd
himself
,
but
a
considerable
Army
of
the
Kings
landing
there
,
there
were
divers
furious
and
bloudy
skirmishes
,
wherein
there
fell
on
Soubizes
side
above
eight
hundred
;
and
so
many
more
drown'd
in
flight
:
The
Royallists
also
lost
there
a
great
number
,
but
they
made
themselfs
Masters
of
the
Island
;
Soubize
got
away
in
a
Shallop
,
and
(
as
the
enemy
gave
out
)
left
his
hat
and
sword
behind
him
,
so
he
went
to
England
.
There
was
also
a
great
Sea
fight
neer
la
fosse
de
loy'e
where
the
Royallists
took
nine
ships
,
burnt
one
,
and
attempting
to
boord
their
Admiral
,
call'd
the
Virgin
,
and
being
grappled
with
her
,
all
that
were
upon
the
upper
deck
being
kill'd
,
they
who
had
got
under
hatches
desperatly
put
fire
in
the
Gunpowder
,
and
blew
her
up
with
three
hundred
soules
in
her
,
whose
members
floted
afterwards
up
and
Anno
1625.
down
the
waves
,
a
piteous
and
horrid
spectacle
to
see
:
three
of
the
Kings
ships
being
grappled
with
her
were
also
burnt
.
The
Duke
of
Monmorency
,
the
Isle
of
Ré
being
already
reduc'd
,
went
then
to
Oleron
which
he
took
and
secur'd
for
the
King
.
While
these
fearfull
traverses
of
war
happen'd
before
Rochell
,
the
Duke
of
Rohan
was
very
busie
in
Languedoc
;
and
entertain'd
a
Treaty
with
the
Spaniard
,
but
Camredon
his
Agent
was
surpriz'd
,
and
had
his
head
chopt
off
at
Tholous
.
Constable
Lesdigueres
was
upon
point
of
passing
the
Alps
with
an
Army
at
this
time
to
Italy
;
but
the
commotions
of
Languedoc
were
such
that
he
was
diverted
,
and
commanded
to
march
thither
against
the
Duke
of
Rohan
;
The
King
endevouring
to
win
Rohan
by
acts
of
grace
offer'd
him
a
prime
command
in
the
Army
that
was
to
go
for
Italy
against
the
Spaniard
,
and
his
brother
Soubize
the
command
of
ten
Galeons
,
but
the
motion
was
not
hearken'd
unto
.
Espernon
and
Themines
did
divers
exploits
up
and
down
Languedoc
this
yeer
,
specially
before
Montauban
,
where
they
of
the
Town
lost
eight
hundred
men
in
two
sallys
they
had
made
.
They
of
the
Religion
being
now
much
quail'd
by
divers
ill
successes
they
had
receiv'd
by
Sea
and
Land
,
had
recourse
to
the
King
with
a
submissive
querulous
Remonstrance
of
their
miseries
.
He
that
brought
it
seem'd
to
reproach
the
Rebellion
in
general
,
but
he
excus'd
the
Rochellers
,
declaring
ore
tenus
to
the
King
,
How
they
were
bereft
of
their
Priviledges
,
how
their
Walls
were
batter'd
,
their
Vines
pluck'd
up
,
how
their
Tillage
ceas'd
,
and
their
Traffic
was
ruin'd
;
And
while
others
of
his
Majesties
subjects
have
slept
in
their
beds
under
the
public
faith
of
peace
,
they
have
watch'd
upon
his
walls
to
repell
the
injuries
of
a
particular
war
;
In
fine
this
usage
being
capable
to
make
wild
the
gentlest
spirits
hath
made
them
apprehend
the
blow
of
their
utter
ruine
.
It
is
true
,
that
they
had
bin
forc'd
to
put
the
law
of
necessitie
in
practise
,
which
they
do
not
alledge
to
justifie
themselfs
,
they
have
rather
words
of
execration
against
those
subjects
which
dare
raise
armes
in
Prejudice
of
their
Princes
under
what
pretext
whatsoever
;
but
only
to
make
his
Majesty
see
that
they
have
held
it
necessary
to
do
well
,
in
doing
ill
,
and
that
they
are
more
worthy
of
pity
then
pain
:
Thus
they
accus'd
themselfs
,
and
were
come
hither
to
crave
pardon
of
his
Majesty
:
whom
they
adjur'd
and
beseech'd
by
his
Royall
naturall
goodnes
,
and
by
the
glory
their
ramparts
have
gain'd
to
have
conserv'd
his
Majesty
in
the
reignes
of
Henry
the
Great
,
to
restore
them
to
liberty
,
and
to
forget
their
faults
,
&c.
Upon
this
Petition
the
King
intended
to
shew
them
some
Grace
,
but
with
this
Proviso
,
to
separate
the
Rochellers
from
the
conditions
he
vouchsafed
to
the
whole
body
of
the
Religion
that
they
might
be
the
more
humbled
,
and
so
to
take
from
them
the
presumption
they
us'd
to
attribut
to
themselfs
to
have
a
kind
of
authority
over
the
rest
,
and
from
the
other
Churches
the
confidence
and
repute
they
had
of
them
;
so
by
reiteration
of
divers
supplications
they
obtain'd
at
last
these
conditions
.
1.
That
the
Counsel
and
Government
of
Rochell
be
put
in
the
hands
of
the
body
of
the
Town
as
it
was
1610.
Anno
1625.
2.
That
they
receive
an
Overseer
of
Justice
,
to
hinder
dissensions
and
factions
.
3.
That
all
new
Bastions
and
Fortifications
be
demolish'd
,
and
that
she
be
reduc'd
to
her
ancient
circuit
,
1560.
4.
That
his
Majesty
shall
be
receiv'd
into
the
Town
with
all
due
respect
and
reverence
whensoever
he
please
.
5.
That
they
of
the
Town
shall
not
keep
any
Vessels
of
War
in
their
Haven
,
and
those
that
go
abroad
in
course
and
to
traffic
shall
ask
leave
of
the
Lord
Admiral
.
6.
That
the
goods
appertaining
to
Ecclesiastics
,
be
restor'd
,
&c.
These
being
sent
to
Rochell
,
Montauban
,
Castres
and
other
places
were
accepted
,
and
a
public
Act
pass'd
;
That
the
foresaid
conditions
were
taken
as
a
most
speciall
testimony
of
his
Majesties
clemence
.
There
followed
a
great
calm
in
France
after
this
,
and
all
forces
were
withdrawn
from
before
Rochell
,
except
the
Garrison
in
Lewis
Fort.
So
the
King
had
now
opportunity
to
look
abroad
,
and
the
first
place
he
cast
his
eye
upon
was
the
Valtolin
,
and
the
Grisons
,
which
border
upon
Milan
:
The
King
of
Spain
and
the
Arch-Duke
Leopold
his
Cousin
german
,
were
call'd
in
there
to
preserve
the
Catholicks
from
the
oppression
of
the
Protestants
who
were
powerfull
,
so
coming
to
the
said
assistance
they
took
divers
old
forts
and
erected
new
which
they
secur'd
with
Garrison
:
The
Spaniard
hereby
had
an
extraordinary
advantage
to
convey
any
forces
from
Italy
to
Germany
upon
all
occasions
.
The
Protestant
Grisons
had
recourse
to
the
King
of
France
,
and
he
undertook
their
protection
(
according
to
an
old
league
in
Lewis
the
twelfth
his
time
)
not
as
much
out
of
any
great
good
will
he
bore
them
,
but
to
deprive
the
Spaniard
of
that
advantage
,
therefore
he
sent
the
Marquis
of
Caeuures
Ambassadour
to
the
Cantons
of
Suisse
that
were
Allies
to
France
to
exhort
them
to
defend
the
Valtolins
.
Caeuures
from
Ambassadour
was
made
Generall
of
an
Army
a
while
after
,
and
the
Venetians
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
ligu'd
with
him
;
He
perform'd
divers
exploits
there
,
so
that
the
Truncheon
of
Marshall
was
sent
him
;
The
Pope
interpos'd
also
in
this
busines
,
and
had
Forces
there
,
and
there
were
sundry
skirmishes
fought
;
The
Spaniard
told
the
Pope
lowdly
,
That
he
came
thither
to
conquer
Heretiques
,
and
the
places
which
he
had
taken
from
them
were
by
consequence
justly
acquir'd
,
and
so
might
be
justly
kept
,
howsoever
it
was
reason
he
should
hold
them
untill
his
charges
were
reimbours'd
:
Hereupon
Cardinal
Barberin
was
sent
to
France
to
accommode
things
,
but
little
could
be
done
for
that
time
.
This
War
of
the
Valtolins
begot
another
twixt
the
Duke
of
Savoy
and
Genoa
,
the
principall
motive
whereof
was
to
divert
the
Spaniard
from
the
Conquest
of
the
Valtoline
.
Yet
the
Savoyard
alledg'd
that
the
Genois
usurped
divers
places
from
him
,
that
they
had
offer'd
him
some
indignities
,
in
defacing
and
vilifying
his
picture
;
whereby
they
imitated
the
Leopard
who
by
the
naturall
hatred
he
beares
to
man
useth
to
teare
his
image
with
his
ongles
and
teeth
,
when
he
cannot
exercise
his
fury
upon
his
body
.
The
old
Constable
Lesdiguieres
notwithstanding
that
he
had
one
foot
in
the
grave
,
yet
it
seems
he
had
Anno
1625.
an
ambition
to
die
in
the
field
,
therefore
he
made
earnest
instances
to
the
King
,
that
he
would
be
pleas'd
to
employ
him
against
the
Genois
;
Hereupon
he
clammer'd
over
the
Alpes
to
Piemont
,
where
he
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
made
an
Army
of
twentie
five
thousand
foot
,
and
four
thousand
horse
,
which
they
powr'd
into
the
territories
of
Genoa
;
The
Constable
with
Crequy
his
son
in
law
had
the
Vantgard
;
The
Duke
with
the
Prince
of
Piemont
seconded
,
and
they
march'd
severall
roads
;
The
French
took
Capriata
which
was
taken
by
Storm
;
and
all
were
put
to
the
sword
and
plunder
:
the
inhumanitie
whcih
the
Souldiers
exercis'd
upon
the
women
,
and
maides
rais'd
an
ill
odor
of
the
French
in
Italy
;
He
took
divers
other
places
;
And
the
Duke
of
Savoy
on
the
other
side
rendred
himself
Master
of
sundry
strong
holds
;
In
the
interim
there
were
three
Spanish
vessels
which
sayling
from
Barcelona
to
Genoa
,
were
by
distresse
of
weather
forc'd
upon
the
Coasts
of
Marseilles
,
and
being
out
of
any
Port
of
commerce
they
were
seiz'd
upon
by
the
Duke
of
Guyse
,
hereupon
the
Genois
made
a
loud
complaint
in
Madrid
,
and
the
King
of
Spain
resented
it
so
much
,
that
a
Proclamation
issued
out
to
Arrest
all
French
vessels
that
were
in
any
haven
of
Spain
,
and
also
to
seize
upon
all
the
Marchants
goods
;
and
it
was
thought
there
were
neer
upon
two
hundred
thousand
French
then
dwelling
or
trading
in
Spain
,
and
eighteen
thousand
in
Madrid
it self
of
all
sorts
of
Marchants
and
Pedlers
.
In
correspondence
to
this
;
The
French
King
publish'd
a
Declaration
wherein
he
interdicted
all
commerce
to
Spain
.
The
violent
progresse
of
the
French
and
Savoy
Army
against
Genoa
awaked
all
the
Princes
of
Italy
;
thereupon
the
King
of
Spain
armes
mainly
,
in
Milan
and
Naples
.
The
Emperour
also
sent
a
considerable
number
of
horse
and
foot
,
and
all
conjoyn'd
under
the
Duke
of
Feria
,
who
was
made
Generall
by
Land
,
and
the
Marquis
of
Santacruz
came
with
twentie
two
gallies
,
and
five
galeons
by
Sea
with
four
thousand
combatants
from
Sicilie
to
secure
the
sea
of
Genoa
,
who
had
eighteen
gallies
besides
in
cours
,
and
ten
thousand
men
by
Land
;
upon
the
appearance
of
this
great
Army
,
most
of
those
places
which
had
rendred
themselfs
to
France
and
Savoy
,
open'd
their
gates
to
the
Spanish
army
at
first
approach
;
They
ravag'd
the
countrey
of
Monferrat
up
and
down
,
and
came
thence
before
Ast
a
considerable
frontire
town
of
Piemont
.
Yet
though
there
were
five
or
six
armies
in
motion
that
Sommer
in
Italy
,
there
was
no
battail
fought
,
but
only
sieges
,
and
leagers
,
sallies
and
skirmishes
;
The
approach
of
Winter
brought
a
suspension
of
armes
;
afterwards
a
Treaty
was
appointed
at
Monson
,
and
twentie
Articles
interchangeably
accorded
unto
:
so
the
War
ended
,
and
a
Peace
was
renew'd
twixt
all
Parties
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
was
neither
himself
,
nor
by
his
Ambassador
or
Anno
1626.
Deputy
present
at
this
Treaty
,
which
made
him
complain
highly
of
the
King
of
France
,
taxing
him
with
infraction
of
Faith
,
and
of
the
late
Confederation
between
them
:
thereupon
the
King
sent
Monsieur
Bullion
to
him
in
qualitie
of
Ambassador
to
make
an
Apologie
,
Anno
1626.
that
his
Highnes
should
not
impute
this
to
ill
faith
,
or
any
disrespect
of
him
,
or
to
any
particular
advantage
his
Majesty
hop'd
to
receive
thereby
for
himself
;
therefore
his
Highnes
should
not
except
at
the
light
omission
of
complements
which
had
more
of
exterior
apparance
,
then
sincerity
.
Bullion
having
notice
that
the
Duke
would
give
him
a
solemn
open
audience
in
the
presence
of
most
of
his
Lords
and
Counsell
,
prepared
himself
accordingly
;
and
being
come
into
the
roome
,
the
little
Duke
began
to
speak
very
high
language
,
thereupon
Bullion
told
him
in
his
eare
,
That
he
perceav'd
his
Highnes
to
be
mov'd
,
therefore
he
pray'd
him
(
not
as
an
Ambassador
,
but
as
a
privat
man
and
his
servant
)
to
speak
of
so
puissant
and
illustrious
a
Monark
with
that
moderation
,
respect
and
reservednes
,
that
his
Majesty
might
not
be
offended
,
and
if
his
Highnes
thought
to
satisfie
himself
by
words
of
advantage
,
nothing
would
remain
unto
him
but
repentance
so
to
suffer
himself
to
be
transported
by
a
disordred
passion
:
For
the
main
businesse
,
the
King
having
obtain'd
by
the
Treaty
at
Monson
all
that
he
and
his
Allies
could
hope
for
if
they
had
gain'd
a
battaile
,
as
also
the
liberty
of
the
Grisons
and
the
Valtolines
,
his
Confederates
ought
not
to
take
offence
if
he
as
the
Eldest
,
had
treated
himself
alone
for
his
Cadets
,
a
title
which
they
had
reason
to
esteeme
for
honorable
:
Yet
if
notwithstanding
these
considerations
his
Highnes
desir'd
to
have
satisfaction
in
a
stricter
way
he
would
undertake
his
Majesty
should
make
him
amends
.
In
the
interim
he
wish'd
his
Highnes
to
think
upon
any
thing
wherein
his
most
Christian
Majesty
might
be
advantageous
unto
him
.
The
Duke
being
calm'd
by
these
words
,
answer'd
,
that
he
thought
upon
Royalty
,
and
if
his
Majesty
would
approve
of
his
design
(
being
already
well
assured
of
the
Popes
good
will
)
he
car'd
not
much
for
other
Potentats
,
and
he
would
be
contented
to
be
treated
by
the
King
,
in
the
same
manner
as
the
Kings
of
France
were
us'd
to
treat
the
Kings
of
Scotland
and
Navarr
:
By
Royalty
he
meant
the
Kingdome
of
Cypres
,
which
title
the
Ambassador
told
him
could
not
be
had
without
distasting
the
Republique
of
Venice
,
(
whose
adoptif
son
he
was
)
and
whereas
he
pretended
some
places
in
Toscany
,
that
could
not
be
done
without
displeasing
the
Queen
Mother
.
The
King
having
dispos'd
already
of
his
3.
Sisters
,
began
to
think
on
a
Match
for
Monsieur
his
Brother
;
now
it
is
the
style
of
France
to
call
the
Kings
sole
Brother
Monsieur
without
any
further
addition
,
to
distinguish
him
from
others
;
Marie
of
Bourbon
daughter
to
the
Duke
of
Monpensier
was
thought
to
be
a
fit
wife
for
him
;
hereupon
the
King
mov'd
it
unto
him
,
but
he
desir'd
time
to
consider
of
it
,
because
it
was
a
business
of
the
greatest
consequence
that
possibly
could
import
him
,
for
a
wife
is
the
best
or
worst
fortune
that
can
befall
a
man
in
the
whole
cours
of
his
life
:
There
were
some
that
whisper'd
him
in
the
eare
to
disswade
him
from
the
said
Match
,
'mongst
others
the
Marshall
of
Ornano
his
Governor
,
who
told
him
,
That
if
he
maried
in
France
,
all
his
Means
,
Credit
and
Fortune
would
be
bounded
there
,
whereas
if
he
maried
some
forren
Princesse
,
he
might
have
some
support
,
and
a
place
to
retire
unto
abroad
upon
hard
usage
at
home
,
which
would
Anno
1626.
make
him
better
esteem'd
.
This
being
brought
to
the
Kings
eare
,
Ornano
with
divers
other
were
taken
out
of
their
beds
in
the
dead
of
night
,
and
clap'd
in
the
Bastile
;
hereupon
Monsieur
went
to
the
Chancelor
d'
Haligre
,
and
reproach'd
him
to
have
counsell'd
the
King
to
have
his
Governor
pluck'd
away
from
him
so
;
the
Chancelor
excus'd
himself
,
and
denied
that
he
had
given
such
counsell
;
The
King
having
notice
of
this
poor
answer
of
his
Chancelor
,
sent
the
next
day
for
the
Seales
,
willing
him
to
retire
to
his
Countrey
house
;
The
Duke
of
Vendosm
and
his
brother
the
gran
Prior
were
thought
also
to
do
ill
Offices
in
this
busines
which
made
them
fall
into
some
dislike
,
and
so
they
were
committed
prisoners
to
the
Castle
of
Ambois
;
amongst
other
things
wherewith
Vendosm
was
charg'd
,
one
was
,
that
he
should
say
he
would
never
see
the
King
againe
but
in
picture
;
so
he
was
put
out
of
the
government
of
Britany
,
which
was
conferr'd
upon
Marshall
Themines
.
Cardinall
Richelieu
having
drawn
a
great
deal
of
hatred
upon
himself
about
this
match
,
he
had
a
guard
allow'd
him
,
which
was
afterwards
recented
according
as
the
measure
of
envie
and
danger
accrued
.
The
King
being
at
Nants
in
Britany
to
settle
that
Government
,
told
his
brother
that
he
much
desired
he
were
married
to
Madamoiselle
Monpensier
for
the
good
of
his
state
,
assuring
him
that
he
should
find
his
own
advantages
in
it
:
Monsieur
answer'd
,
That
if
his
Majesty
judg'd
that
it
would
be
for
the
good
of
his
state
he
entirely
conform'd
himself
to
his
pleasure
;
thereupon
he
sent
a
long
complement
to
Madamoiselle
Monpensier
,
concluding
that
he
would
prove
a
better
Husband
to
her
,
then
he
was
a
servant
:
So
the
Articles
of
Mariage
were
drawn
,
and
Monsieur
was
to
have
for
his
appannage
the
Duchy
of
Orleans
with
other
places
to
the
sum
of
one
hundred
thousand
franks
annuall
rent
,
all
charges
defrayed
,
so
much
more
in
pension
,
and
by
speciall
warrant
five
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
franks
yeerly
upon
the
receipts
of
Orleans
;
which
comes
in
all
to
about
seventy
thousand
pounds
sterlin
per
annum
:
so
the
Cardinall
of
Richelieu
betroth'd
and
married
them
the
next
day
at
Nants
with
as
much
solemnity
as
the
place
could
afford
.
At
this
time
there
were
whispers
up
and
down
France
of
divers
plots
that
were
to
be
put
in
execution
;
some
gave
out
the
King
intended
to
repudiat
the
Queen
;
Others
,
that
there
was
a
design
to
clap
up
the
King
in
a
monasterie
,
and
that
Monsieur
should
raign
;
of
this
plot
there
was
a
whisper
the
mother
was
,
because
she
alwaies
seem'd
to
love
the
younger
better
then
the
elder
.
But
I
beleeve
this
was
a
groundlesse
surmise
.
There
were
divers
in
prison
that
would
have
perswaded
Monsieur
to
a
forrein
match
,
and
endeavour'd
to
crosse
this
;
Amongst
others
the
Count
of
Chalais
was
one
,
who
was
beheaded
at
Nants
,
and
there
being
no
headsman
in
the
town
,
a
prisoner
that
was
in
for
a
capitall
crime
,
undertooke
the
office
provided
he
might
have
his
pardon
,
but
he
manag'd
the
instrument
so
ill
that
he
gave
the
Count
thirtie
foure
stroakes
before
he
could
separat
the
head
from
the
body
.
Anno
1626.
Sanctarellus
the
Jesuit
obtruded
to
the
world
dangerous
tenets
about
this
time
,
viz.
That
the
Pope
hath
power
to
depose
the
Emperour
,
to
admonish
,
and
punish
with
temporall
pains
other
Princes
,
and
absolve
their
subjects
from
their
Oath
of
fidelitie
in
case
of
heresie
.
The
book
was
burnt
in
Paris
;
Father
Cotton
Provinciall
of
the
French
Jesuits
,
brought
a
public
instrument
from
the
chief
of
the
Colledge
of
Clermont
wherein
their
Society
did
disadvow
,
and
detest
the
said
opinion
of
Sanctarellus
,
which
instrument
was
commanded
to
be
put
upon
Record
.
It
was
an
ancient
custom
in
France
before
the
erection
of
Sedentary
Parliaments
whereof
there
are
eight
,
to
assemble
once
or
twice
every
yeer
the
States
General
,
which
Assembly
was
first
call'd
Parlement
,
wherein
they
treated
of
the
highest
Affairs
of
State
,
of
making
levies
of
money
for
the
Kings
extraordinary
occasions
;
for
punishing
corrupt
Magistrats
,
and
questioning
any
Officers
whatsoever
upon
the
relations
which
were
made
by
the
Deputies
or
Members
of
the
said
Assembly
,
which
were
call'd
in
old
times
Missi
Dominici
,
viz.
Those
who
were
sent
by
the
Lord
or
King
;
This
,
as
I
said
before
in
the
second
Lustre
,
is
equivalent
to
the
High
Court
of
Parlement
in
England
,
though
in
number
it
be
inferior
to
it
,
in
regard
that
this
Generall
Assembly
of
France
consists
but
of
foure
hundred
and
odd
members
,
that
in
England
of
neer
upon
seven
hundred
.
Since
the
settling
of
the
said
Sedentary
Parlements
,
this
Great
Parlement
hath
bin
seldom
convok'd
in
France
unlesse
during
the
minority
of
the
King
:
for
which
the
Countrey
hath
suffer'd
much
;
in
regard
this
universall
convention
was
us'd
to
keep
good
correspondence
'twixt
the
Prince
and
his
people
,
and
the
pecuniary
levies
which
pass'd
by
their
Suffrages
were
given
with
more
cheerfulnesse
,
and
besides
there
was
no
need
of
so
many
Collectors
and
Receivors
as
are
employed
in
the
Kings
ordinary
Revenu
,
which
are
so
numerous
that
the
fourth
part
is
drunk
up
among
Officers
in
fees
and
wages
;
so
that
there
hardly
comes
into
the
Kings
Coffers
cleer
a
Quardecu
in
every
Crowne
.
This
Assembly
of
the
three
Estates
in
France
grew
to
be
very
rare
,
and
in
a
manner
obsolete
,
since
the
Kings
had
power
given
them
to
impose
public
assessments
,
the
ground
whereof
was
this
;
When
the
English
had
taken
such
firme
footing
in
France
that
they
had
advanc'd
as
far
as
the
Loire
,
and
besieg'd
Orleans
,
the
Assembly
of
the
three
States
in
these
pressures
being
not
able
to
meet
after
the
ordinary
maner
by
reason
of
the
interposition
of
the
enemy
up
and
down
,
that
power
which
was
formerly
inhaerent
in
the
three
States
of
making
Laws
and
assessing
the
subject
with
subsidiary
taxes
,
was
transmitted
to
the
King
himself
during
the
war
,
which
continuing
long
,
that
intrusted
power
grew
in
tract
of
time
so
habitual
,
that
it
could
never
be
re-assum'd
or
the
Kings
disvested
of
it
:
And
that
which
made
the
busines
more
feasable
for
the
Kings
was
,
that
the
burden
fell
most
upon
the
Comminalty
,
the
Nobility
and
Clergy
not
feeling
the
weight
neer
so
much
:
And
it
happen'd
in
so
favourable
conjuncture
of
time
that
the
Clergy
and
Nobles
were
contented
to
have
the
Peasans
pull'd
down
a
little
,
Anno
1626.
because
not
many
yeers
before
in
that
notable
rebellion
call'd
la
Iaquerie
de
Beauvoisin
which
was
suppress'd
by
Charles
the
Wise
,
they
boldly
put
themselfs
in
armes
against
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
to
lessen
their
greatnes
:
Add
hereunto
as
an
advantage
to
the
work
,
that
this
power
being
first
transferr'd
to
Charles
the
Seventh
,
there
succeeded
him
,
a
notable
cunning
King
,
Lewis
the
Eleventh
,
who
knew
well
how
to
play
his
game
;
for
amongst
all
the
rest
he
was
said
to
be
the
first
who
put
the
French
Kings
horce
de
Page
,
out
of
their
minority
or
from
being
Pages
any
more
,
though
thereby
he
brought
the
Peasans
to
be
worse
then
Laquais
.
Out
of
some
distast
the
King
took
at
the
last
Convention
of
the
three
Estates
which
was
upon
his
entrance
to
his
Majority
,
he
resolv'd
to
summon
them
no
more
,
yet
because
he
might
be
in
good
intelligence
with
his
people
,
a
way
was
projected
to
call
an
Assembly
of
Notables
which
should
be
equivalent
to
the
States
Generall
though
fewer
far
in
number
,
and
some
out
of
every
one
of
the
Provinciall
Sedentary
Courts
of
Parlement
were
chosen
to
joyn
with
them
:
such
an
Assembly
as
this
was
held
in
Roven
(
as
we
mentioned
before
)
which
did
little
good
,
therefore
the
King
was
advis'd
to
convoque
such
another
at
Paris
this
yeer
which
was
done
accordingly
.
They
met
in
the
great
Hall
of
the
Twilleries
where
the
King
spoak
to
them
thus
:
We
protest
before
the
living
God
,
that
We
have
no
other
ayme
or
intention
but
his
honour
,
and
the
good
and
ease
of
Our
subjects
:
therefore
in
his
Name
We
conjure
and
pray
you
whom
we
have
here
convoqued
,
and
,
by
that
lawfull
power
which
is
given
Us
over
you
,
We
command
and
expresly
enjoyn
you
that
without
any
other
respect
,
or
consideration
whatsoever
,
without
regard
of
pleasing
or
displeasing
any
person
,
you
would
afford
Us
with
all
freedom
and
sinceritie
those
counsels
which
you
shall
judge
in
your
consciences
to
be
most
wholesome
and
convenient
to
the
advancement
of
the
publique
good
.
The
Cardinal
de
Richelieu
also
made
a
long
rhetoricall
Oration
(
which
you
shall
find
in
the
legend
of
his
life
hereunto
annexed
)
but
there
was
no
great
advantage
accrued
to
the
public
by
this
Assembly
of
Notables
though
it
lasted
from
the
second
of
December
,
to
the
twenty
fourth
of
February
following
.
This
yeer
a
passage
happend
in
the
Court
of
England
whence
ensued
ill-favord
consequences
,
and
no
lesse
then
a
war
afterward
'twixt
the
two
Nations
;
which
was
this
,
The
train
of
French
servants
which
the
Queen
of
Great
Britain
had
brought
with
her
at
her
first
arrivall
was
suddenly
dismiss'd
to
the
number
of
one
hundred
and
twenty
;
In
regard
of
no
good
offices
they
did
twixt
the
King
and
Queen
,
and
for
some
petulant
bold
misdemeanurs
of
theirs
,
by
imposing
also
certain
odd
superstitious
penances
upon
the
Queen
in
prejudice
of
her
health
:
Besides
,
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
having
settled
a
Royall
joynture
upon
her
of
neer
upon
one
hundred
thousand
crowns
a
yeer
out
of
the
choicest
Demeans
,
Royalties
and
Houses
he
had
in
England
,
the
Bishop
of
Mende
sought
to
be
Surintendent
,
and
steward
Anno
1626.
of
her
lands
,
and
others
of
her
French
servants
expected
to
have
Offices
in
that
kind
,
which
the
King
would
not
hearken
unto
in
regard
the
said
French
were
unfit
for
those
extern
employments
having
not
the
Language
,
or
knowledge
of
the
Laws
and
Customs
of
the
Countrey
,
therefore
he
desir'd
them
to
rest
contented
with
the
domestic
Offices
they
had
about
the
Person
of
the
Queen
;
they
made
a
shew
to
be
satisfied
herewith
,
though
palpable
discontentments
appear'd
in
their
countenances
and
carriage
afterward
more
and
more
.
So
they
were
suddenly
discharg'd
,
and
summon'd
to
quit
the
Kingdom
,
and
there
should
be
order
taken
for
all
conveniences
for
their
journey
by
Land
and
Sea
,
and
the
arrears
of
their
wages
and
pensions
were
punctually
paid
them
.
The
Queen
for
the
present
took
much
to
heart
the
renvoy
of
her
servants
,
and
the
King
her
brother
resented
it
also
when
notice
was
sent
him
,
though
it
was
nothing
to
be
wondred
at
,
for
he
himself
had
discharg'd
the
Spanish
servants
his
Queen
had
brought
with
her
not
long
after
she
came
,
in
the
same
manner
.
The
King
of
England
dispatch'd
a
Messenger
of
honor
to
the
Court
of
France
to
give
a
true
information
of
matters
,
which
affoorded
but
little
satisfaction
;
Thereupon
Marshall
Bassompierre
was
sent
Ambassador
extraordinary
to
England
expresly
about
this
busines
,
but
matters
were
thrust
so
far
off
the
hinges
that
they
could
not
be
set
right
again
so
soon
.
The
French
began
the
first
act
of
hostilitie
,
and
that
before
any
public
Declaration
was
publish'd
,
by
seizing
a
great
number
of
English
and
Scottish
ships
at
Blay
,
as
they
were
returning
from
the
vintage
with
cargazons
of
wines
from
Bourdeaux
,
but
the
Scots
were
releas'd
,
the
English
still
stayed
.
A
little
after
an
Edict
issued
out
in
the
Kings
name
to
interdict
all
commerce
and
traffic
with
England
,
that
no
kind
of
grain
,
wines
,
or
pulse
should
be
transported
thither
,
nor
from
thence
to
France
any
cloth
,
serges
,
woolls
,
lead
,
tinn
,
stuffs
,
silk
stockings
,
with
an
enumeration
of
divers
other
commodities
:
by
this
one
may
observe
,
the
advantage
that
England
hath
of
France
,
in
varietie
and
substance
of
Marchandizes
.
The
French
Chroniclers
obtrude
to
the
world
divers
wrong
informations
of
this
travers
twixt
England
and
France
.
1.
They
relate
that
the
French
were
casheer'd
of
the
Queens
service
with
little
or
nothing
at
all
of
their
wages
,
which
is
false
,
for
they
were
payed
to
a
peny
,
and
many
of
them
parted
with
gifts
and
much
wealth
.
2.
They
report
that
the
Queen
out
of
her
necessities
had
borrow'd
much
money
of
them
,
which
was
also
a
calumny
,
for
there
was
never
Princesse
liv'd
in
greater
plentie
.
3.
They
make
the
world
beleeve
that
the
first
depraedations
at
Sea
,
and
acts
of
Piracy
were
committed
by
the
English
,
which
is
another
falshood
,
for
besides
the
seisure
of
the
Marchants
at
Blay
,
where
they
came
to
reimbarque
their
Ordnance
,
divers
other
praedatory
acts
were
done
by
the
French
.
4.
They
publish
also
another
imposture
,
that
while
the
Earls
of
Carlile
and
Holland
were
in
the
heat
of
the
Treaty
of
a
Match
with
England
,
the
same
time
they
did
machinat
the
ruine
of
France
;
Anno
1627.
the
first
time
that
England
was
ever
taxed
of
double
dealing
.
5.
That
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
had
no
hand
in
the
Pacifications
which
were
made
twixt
the
King
,
and
them
of
the
Religion
,
whereas
his
Ambassadors
and
Agents
did
alwayes
follow
the
Kings
Army
to
their
excessive
expences
,
and
did
perpetually
negotiat
in
their
behalf
;
and
became
caution
to
them
for
performances
on
the
Kings
side
.
Thus
a
black
cloud
hung
between
England
and
France
;
which
broak
out
into
a
shrew'd
,
though
short
,
tempest
of
war
.
The
King
of
Great
Britain
riggs
up
his
galeons
,
and
in
a
very
short
time
puts
to
Sea
a
huge
royall
fleet
in
perfect
equippage
of
150.
Sayles
,
with
an
Army
of
10000.
combatants
:
which
by
the
advise
and
directions
of
Monsieur
Subize
,
and
Blancart
,
who
had
fled
to
England
some
moneths
before
,
were
to
sayle
towards
Rochell
,
and
seize
upon
the
Islands
of
Ré
&
Oleron
.
In
Oleron
the
English
,
when
they
were
in
possession
of
Guyen
,
made
those
famous
Maritim
laws
,
which
are
observ'd
by
all
the
Western
world
to
this
day
:
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
was
chosen
Admiral
by
Sea
,
and
General
by
Land
of
this
great
expedition
;
who
publish'd
this
following
Manifesto
to
the
world
.
What
part
the
Kings
of
Great
Britain
have
alwayes
taken
in
the
affairs
of
the
Reformed
Churches
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
with
what
care
and
zeale
they
have
labour'd
for
the
good
of
them
,
is
manifest
to
all
,
and
the
examples
thereof
are
as
ordinary
,
as
the
occasions
have
been
:
The
now
King
,
my
most
honor'd
Lord
and
Master
comes
nothing
short
of
his
Predecessors
therein
,
if
his
good
and
laudable
designes
for
their
good
had
not
bin
perverted
to
their
ruine
,
by
those
who
had
most
interest
for
their
due
accomplishment
:
What
advantages
hath
he
refus'd
?
what
Parties
hath
he
not
sought
unto
?
that
by
his
alliance
with
France
he
might
restore
more
profitably
and
powerfully
the
restitution
of
those
Churches
to
their
ancient
liberty
and
splendor
?
And
what
could
be
lesse
hoped
for
by
so
strict
an
alliance
,
and
from
so
many
reiterated
promises
by
the
mouth
of
a
great
Prince
but
effects
truly
royall
,
and
sorting
with
his
greatnes
?
But
failings
have
bin
such
,
that
his
Majesty
,
by
so
many
promises
,
and
so
straight
an
obligation
of
friendship
,
hath
not
only
bin
disappointed
of
means
to
obtain
Liberty
and
Surety
for
the
said
Churches
,
and
to
restore
Peace
to
France
by
the
reconciliation
of
those
,
whose
breath
utters
nothing
else
but
all
manner
of
obedience
to
their
King
under
the
liberty
of
their
Edicts
:
that
contrariwise
they
have
prevayl'd
,
by
the
interest
which
he
had
in
those
of
the
Religion
to
deceive
them
,
and
by
this
means
not
only
to
untie
him
from
them
,
but
also
to
make
him
,
if
not
odious
unto
them
,
at
least
suspected
in
perverting
the
means
,
which
he
had
ordain'd
for
their
good
,
to
a
quite
contrary
end
:
Witnes
the
English
Ships
not
design'd
for
the
extirpation
of
them
of
the
Religion
,
but
to
the
contrary
,
expresse
promise
was
made
that
they
should
not
be
us'd
against
them
in
the
last
Sea-fight
.
What
then
may
be
expected
from
so
puissant
a
Prince
as
the
King
my
Master
so
openly
eluded
,
but
a
thorough
feeling
equall
and
proportion'd
to
the
injuries
receiv'd
?
but
his
patience
hath
gone
beyond
patience
,
and
as
long
as
he
had
hopes
that
he
could
benefit
the
Churches
by
any
other
means
,
he
had
no
recours
by
way
of
Arms
:
so
far
that
having
bin
made
an
instrument
Anno
1627.
and
worker
of
the
last
Peace
upon
conditions
disadvantagious
enough
,
and
which
would
not
have
bin
accepted
without
his
Majesties
intervention
,
who
interpos'd
his
credit
and
interest
to
the
Churches
to
receive
them
,
even
with
threatnings
to
the
end
to
shelter
the
honor
of
the
most
Christian
King
,
under
assurances
of
his
Part
,
not
onely
for
the
accomplishment
,
but
also
,
for
the
bettering
of
the
said
Conditions
,
for
which
he
stands
caution
to
the
Churches
.
But
what
hath
bin
the
issue
of
all
this
but
onely
an
abuse
of
his
goodnesse
?
and
that
which
his
Majesty
thought
a
soverain
remedy
for
all
their
sores
,
hath
it
not
brought
almost
the
last
blow
to
the
ruine
of
the
Churches
?
It
wanted
but
a
little
by
continuing
the
Fort
before
Rochell
,
the
demolishment
whereof
was
promis'd
,
by
the
violences
of
the
soldiers
and
Garrisons
of
the
said
Fort
and
Isles
,
as
well
upon
the
Inhabitants
of
the
said
Town
as
upon
strangers
,
in
lieu
whereas
they
should
have
retir'd
,
they
have
bin
daily
augmented
,
and
other
forts
built
;
as
also
by
the
stay
of
the
Commissioners
in
the
said
Town
beyond
the
time
agreed
on
,
to
the
end
to
make
broyles
,
and
by
means
of
the
division
which
they
made
to
slide
among
the
Inhabitants
to
open
the
gates
to
the
neighbouring
Troupes
,
and
by
other
withstandings
and
infractions
of
peace
,
I
say
it
little
faild
,
that
the
said
Town
and
in
it
all
the
Churches
had
not
drawn
their
last
breath
:
And
in
the
mean
time
while
his
Majesty
hath
yet
continued
,
and
not
oppos'd
so
many
injuries
,
so
many
faith-breakings
,
but
by
complaint
and
Treaty
,
untill
he
had
receiv'd
certain
advice
confirm'd
by
intercepted
Letters
of
the
great
preparation
the
most
Christian
King
made
to
powre
upon
Rochell
.
And
then
what
could
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
do
,
but
to
vindicat
his
honor
by
a
quick
arming
against
those
who
had
made
him
a
complice
of
their
deceits
:
And
to
give
testimony
of
his
integrity
and
zeale
which
he
hath
alwayes
had
for
the
reestablishing
of
the
Churches
,
an
establishment
which
shall
be
dear
and
precious
to
him
above
any
other
thing
?
This
is
the
sole
end
of
his
arming
at
this
time
,
and
not
any
particular
interest
:
Yet
whosoever
would
doubt
hereof
,
let
him
consider
the
circumstance
of
times
,
and
disposition
of
affairs
as
they
stand
now
with
the
King
my
Master
.
For
who
will
beleeve
that
he
can
have
any
dessein
upon
France
,
or
to
have
projected
conquests
here
in
a
time
so
disadvantageous
,
having
now
for
his
enemy
one
of
the
puissantst
King
of
the
world
;
and
if
he
had
such
a
design
,
surely
he
would
have
sent
greater
forces
then
I
have
now
under
command
,
whereof
if
the
number
were
known
they
would
be
judg'd
but
Auxiliaries
only
,
and
that
their
ayme
is
no
other
but
for
the
good
of
the
Churches
,
which
for
so
many
important
reasons
and
considerations
he
finds
himself
oblig'd
before
God
and
men
to
protect
and
succour
.
But
if
it
be
alledg'd
that
the
King
my
Master
hath
been
mov'd
to
take
up
armes
for
other
respects
,
as
the
detention
and
seizure
of
all
the
ships
and
goods
of
his
subjects
at
Bourdeaux
,
and
other
places
of
this
Kingdom
,
to
the
breach
and
manifest
contravention
of
the
peace
'twixt
the
two
Crowns
,
which
in
this
point
tend
expresly
to
the
irrepairable
prejudice
,
yea
to
the
totall
ruine
of
commerce
,
in
the
rupture
whereof
the
poore
people
of
this
Realme
being
not
able
to
vent
their
Merchandises
,
groans
not
onely
under
the
burden
of
so
many
taxes
and
Anno
1627.
impositions
,
but
for
the
very
necessities
of
life
it self
.
That
the
apprehensions
the
King
my
Master
hath
of
the
powerfull
encrease
of
the
most
Christian
King
by
Sea
hath
mov'd
him
to
arme
for
preventing
the
growth
thereof
;
and
lastly
that
being
hopelesse
of
any
accommodation
of
things
,
he
hath
bin
constrain'd
to
put
himself
in
armes
.
The
answer
to
all
this
is
,
that
whosoever
will
search
the
Arrests
,
prises
and
seasures
which
have
bin
made
on
both
sides
,
he
shall
find
the
King
my
Master
and
his
subjects
have
hitherto
profited
by
this
breach
,
and
that
it
hath
turn'd
to
their
advantage
.
In
the
second
place
,
he
is
so
far
off
from
being
jealous
of
the
pretended
power
by
Sea
,
and
that
he
should
have
reason
to
hinder
it
,
that
there
needs
no
more
then
for
him
to
grant
,
when
he
thinks
it
fit
,
Letters
of
Mart
to
his
subjects
,
and
so
these
vain
and
feeble
forces
at
Sea
might
be
dissipated
without
the
employment
of
any
Fleet
Royall
.
Finally
,
that
there
hath
bin
a
necessity
to
arme
thus
,
because
there
is
no
hope
of
accommodation
otherwise
,
the
contrary
will
be
most
manifest
to
him
who
will
consider
the
researches
which
have
bin
made
at
severall
times
as
well
by
their
own
Ministers
,
as
by
the
Ministers
of
other
Princes
to
the
King
my
Master
,
to
treat
of
accommodating
things
at
their
instigation
.
It
appears
by
all
this
that
the
King
my
Master
hath
not
bin
forc'd
to
arme
for
any
particular
interest
,
but
only
for
the
defence
of
the
Churches
,
for
the
security
and
freedom
whereof
he
stood
responsible
:
Yet
there
are
some
who
dare
amuse
the
world
that
his
Majesty
hath
a
particular
dessein
in
it
,
and
that
he
useth
Religion
for
a
pretext
to
gain
a
party
,
by
means
whereof
,
and
by
which
conjunction
he
hopes
to
push
on
his
purposes
to
the
end
at
which
they
ayme
.
No
,
no
,
our
Religion
teacheth
us
otherwise
,
and
the
King
my
Master's
piety
(
wherein
he
gives
place
to
no
man
living
)
will
never
permit
him
.
His
desscin
is
the
establishment
of
the
Churches
,
his
interest
is
their
good
,
and
his
ayme
their
contentment
;
That
being
done
,
these
Drums
beating
,
these
Ensignes
displayed
shall
be
folded
up
again
.
And
all
this
noyse
of
War
shall
be
buried
in
night
and
silence
,
which
would
never
have
bin
but
for
their
cause
.

Buckingham
.
A
good
while
before
this
Fleet
was
under
sayle
,
the
French
Cardinal
by
some
pensionary
Spies
he
had
in
the
English
Court
,
had
advertisement
of
the
dessein
,
therefore
there
was
a
Remonstrance
sent
from
the
King
to
his
Town
of
Rochell
to
this
effect
.
That
they
were
French
,
and
that
the
English
were
proud
and
insupportable
,
that
having
vain
pretentions
upon
this
Kingdom
,
if
they
took
any
place
it
was
to
reduce
it
to
slavery
:
That
their
Ancestors
being
acquainted
with
the
nature
of
the
English
chose
rather
to
lose
half
their
goods
,
then
to
be
under
their
domination
upon
the
accord
made
for
the
delivery
of
King
John
when
he
was
prisoner
in
England
:
That
his
Majesty
had
given
proofs
of
the
effects
of
his
clemency
so
often
,
and
with
so
much
favor
,
that
his
grace
seem'd
to
be
above
their
crimes
;
for
their
Religion
,
if
they
thought
to
cast
it
upon
the
account
,
he
left
them
the
free
exercise
of
it
;
touching
Lewis
Fort
,
which
seem'd
to
give
some
ombrage
to
their
Town
,
he
assur'd
them
,
that
continuing
within
Anno
1627.
the
bounds
of
their
obedience
,
there
should
be
a
cours
taken
for
their
contentment
,
but
if
it
should
come
into
the
hands
of
the
English
,
doubtlesse
they
would
turn
it
to
a
Cittadell
,
to
settle
therein
their
tyranny
;
That
the
present
occasion
was
of
that
high
importance
,
that
it
might
entirely
and
eternally
gain
them
the
affections
of
their
King
by
their
fidelity
,
or
that
they
might
thereby
offend
him
so
sensibly
,
that
they
might
render
themselfs
incapable
of
grace
ever
after
,
if
they
departed
from
their
loyalty
whereunto
they
were
oblig'd
as
subjects
towards
their
naturall
Prince
,
and
as
Frenchmen
against
a
strange
Nation
,
and
an
ancient
enemy
of
France
.
By
the
Duke
of
Buckinghams
Manifesto
it
appears
the
King
of
Great
Britain
had
divers
grounds
of
War
against
France
;
first
,
that
his
Merchants
were
so
abus'd
,
their
ships
seiz'd
on
,
and
their
goods
taken
away
;
secondly
,
that
the
French
King
grew
so
strong
in
ships
,
which
in
former
times
was
us'd
to
be
a
sufficient
motif
for
War
of
it self
;
and
lastly
,
that
Articles
were
not
perform'd
of
the
peace
which
was
made
with
them
of
the
Religion
wherein
England
was
engag'd
;
His
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
waves
the
first
two
,
and
layes
hold
of
the
last
,
whereby
the
French
Reformists
had
just
cause
to
abet
him
in
the
quarrell
it
being
more
theirs
then
his
;
Though
there
were
reports
blaz'd
abroad
,
of
other
odd
motifs
;
Howsoever
the
Policy
of
England
was
tax'd
(
though
her
courage
admir'd
)
abroad
to
engolf
her self
into
a
War
with
France
,
when
she
had
another
great
neighbour
King
already
on
her
back
in
actual
hostility
.
This
Fleet
gave
a
mighty
alarme
to
France
,
which
made
the
King
to
send
the
Duke
of
Angoulesme
before
Rochell
with
three
thousand
foot
,
and
five
hundred
horse
;
The
King
following
a
few
dayes
after
fell
sick
upon
the
way
,
and
Monsieur
was
in
mourning
for
his
wife
who
died
in
Child-bed
of
a
daughter
.
The
Duke
of
Angoulesms
Quarter-masters
when
they
came
to
take
lodgings
for
the
billeting
of
the
Army
in
the
small
villages
about
Rochell
,
took
so
much
roome
as
would
have
serv'd
an
Army
thrice
as
great
;
and
this
was
done
of
purpose
,
for
the
report
thereof
being
blown
to
Rochell
and
so
to
the
English
Fleet
,
the
Duke
,
upon
Soubize's
advice
,
cast
anchor
at
the
Isle
of
Ré
,
whereas
his
first
intention
was
for
Lewis
fort
upon
the
Continent
which
dessein
was
diverted
upon
the
(
false
)
report
of
the
greatnes

had

all
the

,
and

,
the
French
horse
did
wonderful
bravely
,
and
the
English
foot
no
lesse
,
who
having
scarce
step'd
ashore
were
set
upon
and
divers
driven
into
the
Sea
and
drown'd
;
but
by
the
brave
example
of
their
Commanders
they
resum'd
courage
,
and
kill'd
above
one
hundred
and
fifty
of
the
enemies
Cavalry
,
put
their
foot
to
flight
and
remaind
Masters
of
the
field
;
there
was
good
pillage
found
among
the
French
horsemen
that
fell
,
divers
of
them
being
persons
of
quality
,
and
young
spirits
,
which
being
stripp'd
,
many
had
their
Mistesses
favors
tied
about
their
genitories
.
At
this
first
act
of
invasion
Anno
1627.
the
English
loss'd
some
hundreds
of
men
,
amongst
others
Blaneart
Monsieur
Soubize
companion
who
had
bin
one
of
the
chief
tracers
of
this
voyage
in
the
English
Court
,
was
slain
upon
the
sands
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Heyden
was
kill'd
too
,
who
had
afterwards
honourable
buriall
.
The
next
day
the
English
horse
landed
,
and
so
they
began
to
intrench
:
The
chiefest
Fort
in
the
Island
was
Saint
Martin
where
Monsieur
Toiras
a
choice
man
,
had
bin
many
dayes
before
;
he
sent
the
next
day
in
a
bravado
a
Page
and
a
Trumpet
to
tell
the
Duke
he
meant
to
give
him
a
breakfast
,
the
Page
had
twenty
peeces
,
and
the
Trumpet
five
given
him
:
If
the
Duke
had
gon
presently
in
pursuance
of
his
victory
for
that
breakfast
toward
Saint
Martin
he
might
in
all
probability
have
taken
the
Fort
,
but
he
stayed
divers
dayes
neer
the
Sea
side
,
and
in
the
interim
Toiras
had
time
to
fortifie
:
and
the
cause
he
stay'd
his
march
further
,
was
that
Soubize
,
&
Sir
Will
:
Beecher
had
gon
to
Rochell
for
more
ayd
which
the
Duke
expected
;
but
the
Rocheller
gave
them
little
countenance
letting
them
in
at
the
Postern
gate
:
Toiras
after
the
first
,
sent
a
second
Trumpet
to
the
Duke
for
burying
the
dead
,
offering
a
thousand
pounds
for
his
brothers
body
and
others
who
were
kill'd
,
but
he
had
them
gratis
.
Soubize
afterwards
came
with
five
hundred
from
Rochell
,
and
so
the
English
Army
march'd
towards
Saint
Martin
,
in
the
way
there
was
the
little
Fort
calld
Lapree
,
wherein
as
there
was
advice
had
afterwards
,
there
was
but
one
old
woman
;
Soubize
counsell'd
the
Duke
to
march
another
way
through
the
Vineyards
,
and
to
leave
the
Fort
;
this
prov'd
fatall
,
and
indeed
the
greatest
cause
of
the
ruine
of
the
English
,
for
had
they
tane
that
little
Fort
it
might
have
serv'd
for
a
handsome
retreat
:
Being
come
before
Saint
Martins
Fort
Sir
Io:
Burrowes
view'd
it
,
and
said
positively
it
was
impregnable
but
by
starving
,
and
so
advis'd
the
Duke
to
take
what
booty
could
be
had
in
that
Isle
,
and
go
to
Oleron
;
but
this
counsell
took
not
.
While
the
English
Army
lay
before
Saint
Martin
there
was
an
Engineer
came
out
of
the
Castle
,
who
desired
conference
with
the
Duke
,
but
being
suspected
by
his
looks
,
he
was
search'd
and
a
poyson'd
dagger
was
found
about
him
,
wherewith
,
being
put
to
the
torment
,
he
confess'd
to
have
bin
sent
to
kill
the
Duke
,
so
he
had
no
quarter
;
All
the
time
the
Duke
was
there
,
though
it
was
concluded
by
the
Counsell
of
War
,
't
was
impossible
to
take
the
Fort
but
by
famin
,
yet
no
intrenchments
were
made
all
the

Army

Isle

and
still
the

was

for
the
Town

At

the
English

out
,
and
discontents
began
to
be
fomented
,
for
there
came
divers
messages
from
the
Cittadell
to
the
Duke
which
he
made
shy
to
impart
to
the
Counsell
of
war
,
whereat
there
was
some
distast
taken
.
The
King
of
France
was
now
recover'd
,
and
he
&
his
Cardinal
were
come
before
Rochell
;
there
were
all
means
under
heaven
us'd
to
preserve
Toiras
,
&
the
Cittadel
of
Ré
,
whereupon
the
King
writ
his
Letter
encouragement
unto
him
.
Monsieur
Toiras
,
understanding
the
rare
vertis
and
courage
wherewith
you
and
the
rest
that
are
in
that
Cittadel
do
defend
your selfs
against
the
English
,
I
was
willing
to
express
unto
you
by
this
Letter
the
singular
satisfaction
that
I
receive
thereby
;
Therefore
you
ought
to
beleeve
that
I
will
acknowledge
such
signal
service
to
every
one
who
shall
have
a
share
therein
,
in
such
a
manner
that
they
shall
beare
all
the
dayes
of
their
lifes
some
mark
of
honor
according
to
their
merits
:
Therefore
I
desire
you
would
send
Me
the
names
of
all
those
that
are
shut
in
with
you
in
that
Cittadell
,
that
neither
Gentleman
,
Officer
or
Soldier
remain
without
his
reward
.
This
Letter
being
safely
arriv'd
to
Toiras
it
rais'd
every
ones
spirit
to
a
great
height
of
resolution
;
as
also
the
Kings
Person
being
come
so
neer
them
.
There
were
divers
complements
pass'd
'twixt
the
Duke
and
Toiras
during
the
siege
,
and
Master
Io.
Ashburnham
being
sent
to
the
Cittadel
upon
a
Message
,
(
and
afterwards
to
the
King
of
France
himself
)
Toiras
was
complaining
of
want
of
Melons
,
the
Duke
sent
him
a
basketfull
the
next
day
;
He
return'd
the
Duke
some
bottles
of
Orenge
flower
water
,
for
which
the
Duke
gave
the
Messenger
twenty
Iacobuses
,
whereas
Troiras
gave
but
five
for
the
Melons
.
When
the
English
had
planted
a
serious
siege
before
the
Town
,
Buckingham
sent
Toiras
this
Letter
.
Monsieur
;
The
desire
I
have
to
witnesse
upon
all
occasions
how
much
I
esteeme
and
prize
persons
of
quality
and
merit
,
shall
make
me
alwayes
proceed
towards
them
with
all
courtesie
;
I
think
I
have
comported
my self
towards
you
in
that
manner
hitherto
,
as
far
as
the
law
of
armes
would
permit
me
.
In
poursuance
whereof
before
the
quality
of
my
affaires
obligeme
to
take
other
counsels
,
and
to
alter
my
procedure
,
I
thought
good
to
exhort
you
to
the
consideration
of
your
necessities
,
which
you
have
already
endured
with
much
patience
,
and
your
courage
haply
might
transport
you
to
continue
under
vain
hopes
of
succour
,
to
the
prejudice
of
your
safety
:
For
these
reasons
,
and
for
the
regret
I
should
have
to
see
greater
displeasure
befall
you
,
we
judge
it
convenient
to
invite
you
to
render
your self
into
our
hands
,
with
those
that
are
of
your
company
,
and
under
your
command
,
and
withall
the
place
possess'd
by
you
,
upon
such
termes
of
honor
that
you
may
not
expect
hereafter
,
if
you
oblige
me
to
poursue
the
means
I
have
in
hand
to
accomplish
my
dessein
,
and
that
you
let
matters
go
on
to
extremity
:
So
expecting
your
answer
accordingly
I
rest
,
Sir
,
your
most
humble
and
most
obedient
servant
Buckingham
.
Toiras
returned
this
Answer
.
Monsieur
;
Your
courtesies
are
known
to
all
the
world
,
and
being
done
with
that
judgement
they
use
to
carry
with
them
,
they
ought
to
be
chiefly
expected
by
them
who
do
good
actions
:
Now
,
I
do
not
find
there
can
be
a
better
then
for
one
to
employ
his
life
for
the
service
of
his
King
;
I
am
here
to
that
Anno
1627.
purpose
,
with
a
number
of
brave
men
,
'mongst
whom
he
that
is
the
least
resolut
would
not
beleeve
to
have
satisfied
himself
,
if
he
did
not
surmount
all
difficulties
to
help
to
conserve
this
place
;
In
so
much
that
neither
despair
of
succour
,
nor
fear
of
being
ill
us'd
in
point
of
extremity
are
able
to
make
me
quit
so
generous
a
dessein
:
Besides
I
should
judge
my self
unworthy
of
any
of
your
favors
,
if
I
should
omit
the
least
point
of
my
duty
in
this
action
,
the
issue
whereof
must
needs
be
honorable
;
And
the
more
you
shall
contribut
to
this
glory
,
the
more
I
shall
be
oblig'd
to
be
,
Monsieur
,
Your
most
humble
,
and
most
obedient
servant
Toiras
.
The
English
assayed
all
means
imaginable
to
render
themselfs
Masters
of
the
Cittadell
by
their
Ships
and
inventions
at
Sea
,
and
by
assaults
and
storming
a
shore
,
nor
did
they
fayle
in
any
thing
that
human
strength
and
courage
could
contribut
;
They
took
divers
bottoms
as
they
were
transporting
provisions
from
the
Continent
,
but
at
last
the
Marshall
of
Schomberg
had
the
hap
upon
a
high
floud
,
and
in
a
dark
night
,
to
bring
safely
into
the
Cittadell
a
mighty
supply
of
all
things
that
might
conduce
not
only
to
releeve
,
but
to
raise
the
spirits
of
the
souldier
;
so
the
approach
of
Winter
,
&
sicknes
with
other
inconveniences
forc'd
the
English
to
be
gone
;
which
the
Duke
,
though
often
advis'd
and
importun'd
by
the
Counsell
of
War
was
loth
to
do
,
having
provision
for
two
moneths
longer
,
and
that
he
must
be
forc'd
to
leave
a
number
of
sick
men
behind
,
to
the
mercy
of
the
enemy
:
But
after
a
conference
with
Soubize
he
march'd
away
at
last
;
There
was
a
great
debate
in
the
Cittadell
,
whether
the
English
should
be
poursued
in
the
Retreat
,
or
whether
a
bridge
of
silver
should
be
made
them
to
passe
quietly
away
;
The
first
opinion
prevayl'd
:
so
they
had
not
march'd
a
Musket
shot
from
the
Town
,
but
two
hundred
horse
,
&
two
thousand
foot
were
at
their
heeles
;
The
English
made
a
stand
,
to
see
whether
the
French
would
fight
but
they
would
not
,
so
they
continued
their
march
till
they
came
to
la
Nova
a
little
village
where
they
made
another
stand
,
thinking
the
French
would
charge
;
which
they
forboare
still
.
Thence
they
march'd
to
Lewisbridg
where
they
were
to
imbark
,
but
before
two
Regiments
were
pass'd
over
the
Bridg
which
was
very
narrow
,
the
French
fell
upon
the
English
horse
in
the
reare
,
and
routed
them
so
that
the
foot
could
not
charge
,
then
they
began
to
fly
,
and
the
enemy
had
the
execution
of
five
Regiments
which
he
put
most
to
the
sword
except
twenty
Officers
,
and
one
hundred
common
soldiers
,
divers
also
were
drown'd
in
the
salt-pits
,
and
dikes
;
so
there
perish'd
in
all
neer
upon
two
thousand
besides
the
sick
which
were
left
before
the
Cittadell
,
all
whose
throats
were
cut
,
and
sent
in
a
Bark
thrust
from
the
shore
to
the
English
Ships
.
My
Lord
Monjoy
,
now
Earl
of
Newport
,
was
there
taken
prisoner
,
old
Colonel
Gray
was
fallen
into
a
salt-pit

and
being
upon

of
being
drown'd

a

so
the

of
the

sav'd
his
life
:
There
were
Anno
1627.
divers
prisoners
besides
taken
,
but
they
were
sent
as
a
present
to
the
Queen
of
England
to
whom
the
King
writ
this
following
Letter
by
le
Chevalier
de
la
Ramé
,
call'd
du
Meau
.
Madame
my
sister
,
It
having
pleas'd
God
to
blesse
my
arms
in
such
sort
that
my
Lord
Monjoy
,
Colonel
Gray
,
divers
Captains
,
Officers
and
Gentlemen
remaind
my
prisoners
in
the
journey
which
pass'd
at
Ré
the
eighth
of
this
moneth
;
I
was
willing
to
testifie
unto
all
Christendom
,
the
speciall
esteem
which
I
make
of
your
Person
,
by
sending
unto
you
the
said
prisoners
which
I
have
let
go
upon
their
words
for
your
sake
.
Nothing
having
invited
me
thereunto
but
the
friendship
which
I
bear
you
,
and
the
knowledge
I
also
have
that
I
cannot
do
an
act
more
acceptable
to
the
Queen
my
Mother
,
then
to
do
for
your
sake
what
I
would
not
do
for
any
other
.
Du
Meau
will
assure
you
of
my
health
,
I
pray
you
have
a
care
of
your
own
which
is
most
deer
unto
me
,
and
I
assure
you
that
the
world
hath
not
a
brother
which
makes
more
account
of
a
sister
then
I
do
of
you
;
so
I
rest
,
my
Lady
and
Sister
,
your
most
affectionat
Brother
Lewis
.
From
the
Campe
before
Rochell
the
last
of
November
.
1627.
There
were
also
forty
foure
Colours
taken
which
the
King
sent
to
the
two
Queens
at
Paris
,
and
they
hang
to
this
day
in
the
great
Church
there
.
This
was
the
dismall'st
day
that
the
English
ever
had
in
France
,
who
in
times
pass'd
perform'd
such
stupendous
exploits
in
that
Countrey
;
yet
the
Invasion
was
made
with
much
gallantry
,
for
they
might
be
said
to
have
swom
through
water
and
blood
to
take
footing
on
the
Island
,
which
discover'd
much
of
the
ancient
courage
of
the
Nation
;
Besides
,
they
did
before
the
Cittadel
as
much
as
men
could
do
,
&
upon
their
marching
away
they
made
two
stands
to
draw
Schomberg
to
fight
notwithstanding
that
they
had
not
in
number
a
quarter
of
the
horse
that
he
had
newly
transported
from
the
Continent
.
They
took
likewise
divers
prisoners
of
note
who
were
released
also
without
ransome
by
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
.
Divers
omissions
there
were
that
prov'd
fatall
to
this
expedition
:
1.
The
not
speedy
marching
of
the
English
Army
in
poursuance
of
their
first
victory
to
the
Cittadell
where
Toiras
had
time
in
the
interim
to
fortifie
.
2.
The
not
taking
of
the
little
Fort
la
Prée
in
the
way
,
which
might
have
serv'd
for
a
retreat
.
3.
That
the
Duke
did
not
follow
the
advice
of
Burrowes
to
go
to
Oleron
a
greater
Island
,
and
afterwards
of
the
knowingst
Colonels
so
often
press'd
upon
him
,
to
march
away
before
Schomberg
came
over
,
for
so
he
might
have
made
an
honorable
retreat
then
which
there
is
nothing
more
difficult
in
the
fait
of
armes
,
not
is
it
any
disgrace
to
go
away
in
the
night
for
preventing
of
being
beaten
in
the
day
.
Monsieur
Soubizes
counsell
was
the
cause
of
these
omissions
,
who
was
the
main
contriver
of
this
infortunate
voyage
(
with
Blancart
who
fell
at
first
landing
)
And
it
seems
a
hard
destiny
hanted
the
Anno
1627.
said
Soubize
(
though
a
worthy
man
of
himself
)
in
all
attempts
from
the
beginning
;
He
was
taken
prisoner
at
Saint
Iohn
d'Angely
,
he
was
forc'd
to
flye
at
Royan
,
and
twice
(
with
this
time
)
at
Ré
;
He
had
but
ill
succes
at
Medoc
,
and
divers
ill-favor'd
encounters
at
Sea
,
though
he
lost
lesse
honor
there
then
a
shore
.
Some
outlandish
Chroniclers
would
have
it
that
there
were
three
Furies
which
impell'd
the
English
to
this
Expedition
.
1.
The
ambition
of
Buckingham
.
2.
The
felony
of
Soubize
.
3.
The
rebellion
of
the
Rochellers
:
but
these
men
write
more
out
of
passion
then
knowledge
,
for
as
I
instanc'd
in
the
beginning
of
this
relation
,
there
were
divers
causes
to
move
England
to
armes
as
matters
stood
then
.
The
King
having
had
such
rare
successe
against
the
English
,
he
resolves
Anno
1628.
upon
the
planting
of
a
serious
siege
before
Rochell
,
thereupon
order
was
given
for
an
exact
circumvallation
by
Land
,
and
Pompco
Targon
an
Italian
Engineer
was
employed
for
Sea
works
:
the
said
Targon
,
being
assisted
with
the
Cardinals
headpeece
,
fell
on
a
plot
to
raise
a
huge
dike
in
the
channell
which
the
Rochellers
geer'd
at
first
,
but
they
found
it
the
bane
of
their
Town
at
last
.
The
Rochellers
had
recourse
to
the
King
of
Great
Britain
for
protection
,
who
resenting
their
sad
condition
employed
two
Royall
Fleets
for
their
succour
which
made
but
sory
returns
;
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
was
to
be
General
of
the
last
,
but
he
was
tragically
slain
the
day
before
he
was
to
embark
;
Thereupon
the
Earl
of
Linzey
went
in
his
place
,
but
before
he
appear'd
before
the
Town
,
Targon
had
finish'd
the
gran
Dike
,
whereof
the
Cardinal
was
dayly
overseer
,
the
King
being
then
in
Paris
;
there
were
certain
kind
of
palissadoes
and
other
strange
fabriques
rais'd
in
the
channel
to
the
wonderment
of
the
world
,
for
Marquis
Spinola
,
at
his
revokment
from
Flanders
to
Spain
,
and
passing
by
the
Kings
Army
,
said
,
he
had
never
seen
the
like
,
being
as
trenches
and
barricadoes
erected
in
the
Sea
;
and
they
were
done
with
that
advantage
that
no
navall
power
could
do
any
good
upon
them
;
In
so
much
that
the
English
Fleet
being
arriv'd
,
the
Cardinal
sent
to
the
General
,
that
he
should
have
safe
pasport
to
come
a
shore
with
six
of
his
knowingst
Commanders
,
with
permission
to
view
the
works
,
and
if
they
thought
in
their
judgements
that
the
Town
was
succourable
,
he
would
raise
the
siege
without
fighting
a
stroak
:
The
General
of
this
Fleet
was
the
Lord
Rob:
Willoughby
Earl
of
Linzey
,
whom
the
French
Chroniclers
call
Willaby
Inghay
,
and
the
General
of
the
former
Fleet
they
call
Count
d'Emby
,
in
lieu
of
Denbigh
,
so
they
call
Burrowes
Burrache
,
Ashpernham
Hasburnim
.
And
as
in
this
relation
,
so
every
where
els
they
seldom
or
never
truly
render
the
sirname
of
any
English
or
German
,
which
(
under
favor
)
is
a
great
error
,
and
a
kind
of
stupidity
and
carelesnes
in
an
Historian
.
The
King
being
return'd
with
the
flower
of
all
the
Nobility
of
France
to
the
siege
before
Rochell
which
had
now
lasted
a
long
time
,
the
Town
was
reduc'd
to
an
extreme
exigent
and
want
of
provision
(
having
for
greedinesse
of
mony
sold
upon
high
prises

being
at
Ré
much
corn
and
other
things
)
therefore
they
came
at
last
to
a
submission
,
their
Deputies
making
this
speech
to
the
King
.
Sir
,
they
who
have
bin
a
long
time
shut
up
in
obscure
prisons
,
when
they
come
abroad
cannot
behold
the
Sun
without
dazzling
their
eyes
;
so
we
whom
a
long
captivity
hath
kept
reclus'd
within
our
walls
,
coming
now
to
appeer
before
your
Majesties
face
,
we
are
not
able
to
endure
the
brightnesse
of
it
without
dazzlement
,
and
some
horror
of
our
faults
pass'd
which
adds
to
our
confusion
:
yet
the
goodnes
of
your
Majesty
,
whereof
we
have
tasted
the
effects
so
often
,
and
do
now
find
,
gives
us
the
boldnesse
to
prostrat
our selfs
at
your
feet
to
implore
pardon
,
which
our
frequent
relapses
into
our
crimes
do
not
permit
us
to
hope
for
,
&c.
So
they
go
on
with
a
protest
and
deep
asseveration
of
their
loyaltie
for
the
future
,
wherein
they
will
endeavor
to
surpasse
all
the
rest
of
his
subjects
.
The
King
answer'd
.
God
grant
that
you
have
spoken
to
me
from
the
bottom
of
your
hearts
,
and
that
necessity
rather
then
an
acknowledgement
of
your
faults
hath
put
these
words
in
your
mouthes
,
you
have
made
use
of
all
means
and
inventions
to
withdraw
your selfs
from
the
duty
of
good
and
faithfull
subjects
,
yet
I
cannot
forbeare
to
let
you
feel
the
effects
of
my
goodnes
and
mercy
;
Be
wiser
hereafter
,
and
assure
your selfs
I
will
not
breake
my
promise
.
At
the
beginning
of
the
siege
there
were
in
the
Town
about
eighteen
thousand
souls
,
but
at
the
reddition
there
were
not
five
thousand
;
and
scarce
one
hundred
who
had
strength
to
bear
a
Musket
;
an
ounce
of
bread
was
worth
half
a
crown
,
a
pound
of
bisket
seven
crowns
,
an
egg
six
shillings
,
a
pound
of
horse-flesh
ten
shillings
,
a
cabbage
leaf
three
pence
;
many
dragg'd
themselfs
to
the
Church-yards
and
made
their
own
graves
:
A
little
before
their
reddition
they
married
all
the
young
maids
in
the
Town
that
were
espousable
who
had
any
portions
.
The
King
caus'd
all
kind
of
fortifications
new
and
old
except
those
towards
the
haven
to
be
raz'd
,
all
bastions
and
the
walls
to
be
demolish'd
,
and
the
moats
fill'd
up
;
so
of
a
City
she
became
to
be
an
open
village
,
without
Maire
,
Sheriffs
,
or
any
other
Magistrat
,
the
Inhabitants
to
be
contributory
to
all
kind
of
taxes
;
those
ramparts
that
were
built
out
of
the
ruines
of
Churches
and
Monasteries
were
employed
for
reedification
of
the
former
Churches
;
a
great
Crosse
was
erected
in
the
Market-place
,
and
a
Decree
pass'd
that
there
should
be
a
solemn
Procession
every
yeer
upon
All
Saints
day
about
that
Crosse
in
remembrance
that
the
Town
was
taken
that
day
;
all
their
Parishes
were
reduc'd
to
three
;
In
so
much
that
as
the
quality
of
the
place
,
so
the
whole
government
thereof
was
entirely
alter'd
,
as
if
they
had
bin
put
to
begin
the
world
again
.
In
the
mean
time
while
the
King
had
triumphed
thus
over
Rochell
,
the
Duke
of
Rohan
was
very
active
in
Languedoc
,
having
considerable
forces
,
which
made
the
Parlement
of
Tholouze
thunder
out
a
furious
Arrest
against
him
,
That
for
his
so
many
Conspiracies
,
Rebellions
,
Disloyalties
,
and
for
bringing
the
English
into
France
,
and
other
most
odious
Treasons
he
was
depriv'd
of
the
title
of
Duke
,
made
incapable
of
the
benefit
of
Anno
1628.
the
generall
Act
of
oblivion
,
that
he
should
be
drawn
by
wild
horses
,
his
body
dismembred
and
burnt
,
his
ashes
thrown
into
the
wind
,
his
posterity
declar'd
Peasants
,
his
Duchy
reunited
to
the
Crown
,
and
whosoever
could
apprehend
his
person
and
bring
him
living
or
dead
,
he
should
have
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
Franks
for
a
guerdon
.
The
Duke
so
little
valued
this
sentence
that
he
cau'd
Masvyer
the
chief
President
of
Tholouze
to
be
hanged
the
next
day
in
Effigie
in
the
Town
where
he
was
.
There
was
at
this
time
in
Italy
a
former
difference
reviv'd
'twixt
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
the
Duke
of
Mantova
about
Monferrat
,
which
had
bin
some
yeers
before
accommoded
by
the
intervention
of
France
;
The
Emperour
and
Spaniard
were
for
the
Savoyard
:
hereupon
Don
Gonzalez
de
Cordova
besieg'd
Casal
:
The
King
of
France
thought
it
concernd
his
honor
and
safety
to
assist
the
Mantovan
who
had
been
once
his
vassal
when
only
Duke
of
Nevers
;
therefore
having
settled
all
things
at
Rochell
,
he
marcheth
with
his
Army
toward
the
Alpes
,
but
demanding
passage
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
the
Duke
a
great
while
did
complement
with
him
;
Hereupon
he
forceth
his
passage
through
snow
and
yce
in
the
moneth
of
February
and
got
over
to
Susa
in
person
,
which
was
rendred
unto
him
;
so
the
Duke
and
He
were
upon
good
termes
,
and
free
passage
accorded
for
his
Army
to
passe
to
Piemont
to
raise
the
siege
of
Casal
,
but
Gonzales
by
the
advice
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
quitted
the
siege
himself
in
the
interim
,
and
so
retir'd
to
Milan
,
and
the
King
returned
to
France
.
While
he
was
t'other
side
the
Alps
at
Susa
,
by
the
interposition
of
the
republic
of
Venice
,
there
was
an
overture
made
of
a
reconciliation
'twixt
England
and
France
,
which
quickly
took
effect
.
The
King
in
his
return
ore
the
Alps
with
his
Cardinal
,
caus'd
a
Pillar
to
be
erected
in
the
common
road
upon
one
of
the
highest
Mountains
with
this
ostentous
Inscription
;
To
the
eternall
memory
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
,
King
of
France
and
Navarr
,
most
gracious
,
most
victorious
,
most
happy
,
most
just
;
A
Conqueror
,
who
having
overcome
all
Nations
of
Europe
,
he
hath
triumphed
also
over
the
elements
of
heaven
and
earth
,
having
twice
pass'd
ore
these
Hills
in
the
moneth
of
March
with
his
victorious
Army
,
to
restore
the
Princes
of
Italy
to
their
estates
,
and
to
protect
and
defend
his
Allies
.
Being
return'd
to
France
,
he
heard
the
Duke
of
Rohan
rov'd
still
up
Anno
1629.
and
down
with
forces
in
Languedoc
,
and
that
he
was
upon
point
of
entering
into
a
confederation
with
the
Spaniard
,
to
which
purpose
He
employ'd
one
Clausel
to
Madrid
,
who
propos'd
That
if
his
Catholic
Majesty
would
be
pleas'd
to
furnish
him
with
600000.
crowns
annually
,
the
Duke
of
Rohan
would
undertake
to
raise
and
maintain
an
Army
of
twelve
thousand
foot
,
and
twelve
hundred
horse
to
make
what
diversion
his
Majesty
would
appoint
,
and
to
continue
a
war
in
France
.
There
were
divers
other
Propositions
tending
to
the
kind
usage
of
the
Catholiques
,
and
withall
a
request
That
the
Dukes
pension
from
fourteen
thousand
crowns
,
might
be
augmented
to
eighteen
thousand
,
and
that
his
Catholic
Majesty
would
please
Anno
1629.
to
add
to
his
brother
Soubize's
pension
of
eight
thousand
crowns
a
yeer
,
two
thousand
more
.
For
performance
of
these
propositions
the
said
Clausel
could
give
no
other
caution
but
the
word
of
an
Honorable
and
most
Religious
Prince
,
meaning
the
Duke
.
These
offers
were
accepted
by
the
Spaniard
,
but
the
sum
was
reduc'd
to
three
hundred
thousand
crowns
payable
in
two
payments
every
yeer
.
The
Articles
being
sent
by
Clausel
to
France
by
a
Zeland
Gentleman
,
he
was
suspected
and
taken
in
a
Pond
up
to
the
neck
,
so
he
was
hang'd
at
Tholouse
.
The
King
at
his
return
to
Provence
took
Privas
from
them
of
the
Religion
after
many
bloudy
sallies
and
assaults
on
both
sides
;
a
place
of
mighty
consequence
;
In
the
Campe
before
Privas
the
Peace
was
proclaym'd
'twixt
France
and
England
to
dishearten
them
in
the
Town
the
more
,
for
they
thought
that
the
King
of
Great
Britain
was
still
involv'd
in
their
Cause
.
This
Peace
was
negotiated
by
Georgi
and
Contarini
Ambassadors
to
the
Mayden
Republic
,
who
yet
may
be
call'd
the
Mother
of
Policy
and
able
to
read
Lectures
on
that
Thesis
to
the
rest
of
Europe
;
nor
did
there
small
glory
redound
to
her
by
her
succesfull
intervention
herein
,
and
by
making
her
Saint
Mark
Mediator
'twixt
two
such
mighty
Monarks
.
The
words
of
the
Proclamation
before
Privas
pronounc'd
alowd
by
a
king
of
Arms
were
these
.
Let
the
world
know
there
is
peace
,
amity
,
and
good
intelligence
between
his
Majesty
and
his
good
Brother
,
and
Brother
in
law
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
acessation
of
all
acts
of
hostility
betwixt
them
and
their
subjects
,
with
an
entire
confirmation
of
the
ancient
Alliances
,
and
of
the
Articles
and
Contract
of
Mariage
with
the
Queen
of
Great
Britain
,
and
an
overture
of
a
free
and
safe
commerce
between
the
subjects
of
the
two
Crowns
:
Therefore
all
persons
are
prohibited
to
attempt
any
think
in
prejudice
of
the
said
Peace
under
pain
of
being
punish'd
as
Disturbers
of
the
public
repose
,
&c.
The
generall
Articles
also
were
signed
there
interchangeably
in
the
ordinary
forme
,
where
of
there
were
some
extraordinary
,
as
that
In
regard
it
would
be
difficult
to
make
restitution
on
either
side
of
divers
prises
which
have
been
taken
in
this
war
,
the
two
Crowns
are
accorded
,
that
there
shall
be
no
reprisall
made
by
sea
or
in
any
other
maner
for
that
which
is
pass'd
'twixt
the
two
Kings
and
their
subjects
during
the
said
war
.
And
because
there
are
divers
vessels
at
Sea
,
with
Letters
of
Mart
,
which
give
Commission
to
combat
the
enemies
which
cannot
presently
have
notice
of
this
Peace
,
or
receive
Order
to
abstain
from
acts
of
hostility
,
It
is
accorded
that
whatsoever
shall
passe
the
space
of
the
two
next
moneths
after
this
accord
,
shall
not
derogate
from
,
or
empeach
this
Peace
,
or
the
good
will
of
the
two
Crowns
.
The
King
having
dismantled
Privas
,
and
secur'd
other
petty
places
,
he
march'd
to
Alets
a
very
considerable
Garrison
Town
of
them
of
the
Religion
,
which
being
also
surrendred
,
he
march'd
to
Languedoc
,
took
Castres
and
Nismes

of

Legions

parts

a
greater
enemy
unto
her
:
These
monstrous
successes
of
the
Kings
made
the
Duke
of
Rohan
hearken
unto
a
Treaty
,
therefore
being
at
Anduza
he
convokes
a
kind
of
Assembly
of
the
chiefest
of
them
of
the
Religion
to
whom
he
made
this
notable
speech
.
Sirs
:
You
know
well
enough
that
the
King
doing
me
the
honor
as
to
acknowledge
me
his
kinsman
,
hath
had
particular
consideration
of
me
in
all
generall
Treaties
made
with
your
party
,
and
that
he
hath
made
me
to
be
perpetually
sollicited
to
separat
my self
from
you
,
with
assurances
that
he
would
raise
my
condition
to
such
a
point
,
that
might
draw
upon
it
the
envy
of
the
Princes
,
and
the
greatest
of
his
Kingdom
:
Neither
are
you
ignorant
that
the
generall
interests
of
the
party
being
deerer
unto
me
then
mine
own
,
I
have
bin
so
far
from
lending
an
ear
unto
those
charming
propositions
,
that
to
the
contrary
I
have
broak
with
his
Majesty
whensoever
he
hath
refus'd
or
delay'd
the
execution
of
the
Edicts
pass'd
in
favor
of
us
,
and
exposing
my self
to
his
indignation
I
have
run
the
hazard
of
my
fortun
,
my
honor
,
and
life
:
Gentlemen
I
pray
do
not
think
,
that
since
our
Cause
is
conjoyn'd
with
that
of
God
,
but
that
I
continu
as
strong
a
zeal
and
inclination
as
ever
towards
it
:
But
in
regard
our
affaires
are
in
another
condition
perchance
then
you
do
imagin
,
I
have
call'd
you
hither
to
instruct
you
,
and
then
to
take
such
order
that
your
wisdoms
shall
afford
me
to
put
in
punctuall
execution
with
as
much
fidelity
as
courage
.
You
must
then
consider
that
any
time
these
eight
yeers
that
the
King
hath
warr'd
with
us
,
heaven
hath
bin
so
favorable
unto
him
,
that
it
seems
he
rather
went
to
the
routing
of
our
troupes
then
to
combat
,
and
by
assaulting
our
strongest
Towns
he
prepar'd
rather
for
triumphant
entries
,
then
sieges
:
so
that
now
the
number
of
our
combatants
,
and
the
strength
of
our
strongest
places
doth
not
serve
as
much
to
maintain
our
party
,
as
to
augment
his
glory
:
so
many
Towns
in
Poitou
,
Saintonge
,
Guyen
,
and
Languedoc
which
have
not
bin
able
toresist
him
as
many
dayes
as
we
count
moneths
,
are
most
sensible
proofs
hereof
:
Rochell
,
alas
!
(
with
that
he
fetcht
a
profound
sigh
accompagnied
with
tears
)
Rochell
which
we
thought
inexpugnable
,
that
prowd
Town
one
of
the
miracles
of
Europe
being
now
reduc'd
to
an
open
village
on
all
sides
,
doth
carry
,
and
shall
eternally
beare
the
marks
of
the
valour
and
good
fortune
of
this
glorious
Monark
.
Having
demolish'd
this
strong
rampart
of
the
Gospel
,
by
which
the
whole
party
subsisted
,
he
hath
penetrated
the
Kingdom
from
one
Diameter
to
the
other
,
and
travers'd
in
five
or
six
dayes
the
Alps
in
the
most
rigorous
season
of
the
yeer
,
which
Julius
Caesar
accounted
amongst
his
heroiquest
actions
,
and
Hannibal
could
not
do
it
in
fifteen
dayes
without
inestimable
losse
;
He
hath
forc'd
the
passe
of
Susa
marching
ore
the
belly
of
an
Army
entrench'd
and
fortified
in
a
straight
.
He
hath
deliver'd
the
Duke
of
Mantova
from
the
oppression
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
Savoyard
,
and
oblig'd
the
latter
who
was
Author
of
the
War
to
receive
such
conditions
of
peace
that
he
pleas'd
to
prescribe
him
:
Repassing
the
Alps
with
like
celeritie
,
he
hath
depriv'd
us
of
Privas
,
and
taken
multitudes
of
places
more
by
the
terror
only
of
his
victorious
Arms.
He
is
continually
assisted
by
the
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
,
who

his
Invention
,
for
the
solidity
of
his
Counsels
,
for
the
secrecy
of
his
desseins
,
for
his
hardines
in
execution
,
and
for
his
addresse
in
all
affairs
of
consequence
,
I
would
acknowledge
him
the
greatest
man
of
Europe
were
he
not
born
for
the
ruine
of
our
party
,
and
the
abolition
of
the
Reformed
Religion
.
This
young
,
generous
,
warlike
King
,
though
too
much
zealoused
to
Popery
,
following
in
every
thing
the
counsels
of
this
Priest
as
Oracles
,
can
we
doubt
but
our
defence
,
though
lawfull
,
as
being
for
Religion
,
and
liberty
of
conscience
,
be
not
an
occasion
to
him
to
advance
our
destruction
,
under
pretext
of
rebellion
and
felony
?
After
all
that
Gentlemen
,
you
must
consider
that
the
taking
of
Rochell
hath
extinguish'd
all
Factions
throughout
the
Kingdom
which
commonly
serv'd
to
the
encrease
of
our
party
;
In
so
much
that
of
three
hundred
places
good
and
bad
,
which
we
had
formerly
in
our
hands
,
we
have
not
30.
remaining
,
without
rents
,
without
soldiers
,
or
means
to
put
into
them
all
together
as
many
men
as
would
serve
to
preserve
one
alone
:
For
although
our
Parsons
cry
out
daily
in
their
Chaires
that
we
ought
not
to
despaire
of
heavenly
succour
,
yet
receiving
every
day
proofs
of
the
wrath
of
the
Eternal
,
there
is
more
appearance
to
expect
punishment
for
our
sins
,
then
miracles
for
the
re-establishment
of
our
affaires
.
Peradventure
you
will
promise
your selfs
some
great
assistance
from
strangers
,
and
specially
from
Protestants
,
whom
the
conformity
of
Religion
which
ties
them
to
our
interests
,
may
oblige
to
assist
us
in
so
urgent
necessity
.
But
I
pray
consider
that
the
Germans
have
enough
to
defend
themselfs
from
the
oppression
of
the
Emperour
,
consider
the
elusions
of
the
Hollander
,
the
impuissance
of
the
Savoyard
who
hath
bled
at
the
nose
;
the
lightnes
of
the
English
who
have
concluded
a
peace
with
France
without
comprehending
us
who
were
the
sole
object
of
the
war
:
And
if
you
stay
for
the
offers
of
Spain
which
loves
not
our
Nation
,
and
our
Religion
lesse
,
know
that
he
studies
how
to
engage
us
so
far
against
the
King
,
that
we
may
become
incapable
of
his
grace
,
and
that
the
succours
wherewith
he
will
supply
us
which
is
but
a
little
money
,
will
not
serve
but
to
prolong
our
ruine
,
by
enfeebling
France
by
our
Civill
Wars
,
and
intestine
broyles
.
For
my self
,
I
am
now
as
much
solicited
as
ever
to
abandon
you
,
and
to
take
advantagious
conditions
of
his
Majesty
,
but
I
shall
never
hearken
to
any
thing
but
wherein
you
may
find
your
satisfaction
in
a
generall
Treaty
for
the
whole
Cause
,
as
also
particularly
for
your
Towns
;
If
your
wisdoms
find
it
to
purpose
that
it
be
more
expedient
to
seek
our
conservation
with
the
exercise
of
our
Religion
,
and
liberty
of
our
consciences
within
the
obedience
which
we
owe
to
our
lawfull
Prince
,
then
in
resistance
,
which
,
though
just
of
it self
,
is
held
by
the
Enemies
of
our
Faith
no
other
then
a
Rebellion
and
high
Treason
,
whereby
under
a
more
specious
pretext
,
to
exterminat
and
destroy
us
;
Or
if
contrary
to
all
appearance
of
human
reason
,
you
take
a
resolution
to
stiffen
your selfs
against
so
victorious
and
invincible
a
power
,
I
resolve
also
to
incur
all
hazards
with
you
,
though
I
am
sory
that
neither
the
advancement
of
the
Faith
can
be
found
in
my
resolution
,
nor
your
security
in
my
danger
,
nor
your
safety
in
my
losse
.
This
studied
speech
,
with
the
sense
of
the
late
ill
successe
,
and
of
Anno
1629.
the
Kings
power
,
wrought
so
far
upon
the
Assembly
,
that
it
extorted
a
willingnes
to
submit
unto
a
Treaty
which
was
propounded
accordingly
:
so
a
little
after
there
was
a
generall
peace
concluded
with
the
Reformists
,
and
the
King
being
in
Languedoc
where
the
Plague
after
this
scourge
of
War
,
was
very
rife
,
he
went
therefore
himself
to
Paris
,
and
left
the
Cardinal
behind
to
consummat
all
things
;
who
amongst
other
places
,
entred
Montauban
where
Espernon
met
him
and
reentred
into
a
perfect
friendship
with
him
:
Montauban
following
the
example
of
all
the
rest
of
the
Towns
dismantled
herself
of
all
new
fortifications
,
and
restor'd
the
Church
lands
,
&c.
The
Cardinall
being
return'd
to
Paris
the
Peace
with
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
was
solemnly
renew'd
and
sworn
unto
;
but
they
of
the
Religion
took
it
ill
that
there
was
no
mention
at
all
made
of
them
in
the
Treaty
,
they
having
bin
declar'd
to
be
the
object
of
Englands
last
war
with
France
.
All
the
Princes
were
commanded
to
be
at
this
Ceremony
,
and
because
a
difference
did
arise
for
precedency
'twixt
forrein
Princes
of
souverain
Houses
,
and
the
naturall
sons
of
Kings
,
a
provisional
Order
was
made
by
the
Privy
Counsel
,
That
every
one
should
take
place
according
to
his
seniority
of
age
.
Thus
our
fourth
Lustre
of
the
life
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
,
ends
with
an
Olive
branch
of
a
double
Peace
,
one
with
a
forren
Prince
,
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
which
was
solemnly
sworn
unto
by
both
Kings
,
Sir
Thomas
Edmunds
being
Ambassadour
for
the
one
,
and
the
Marquis
of
New-Castle
(
de
Chasteau
neuf
)
for
the
other
.
The
second
Peace
was
concluded
with
his
own
subjects
the
whole
Body
of
the
Religion
,
whom
he
had
now
reduc'd
to
an
exact
rule
of
obedience
,
having
seiz'd
upon
,
dismantled
and
secur'd
all
their
praesidiary
Towns
which
were
neer
upon
fifty
,
whereof
Montauban
was
the
last
that
left
her
Mantle
.
So
that
they
must
hereafter
depend
no
more
upon
Garrisons
but
Royall
Grace
.
A
mighty
work
,
then
which
nothing
could
conduce
more
to
make
him
so
absolut
a
Monark
.
Thus
ends
the
fourth
Lustre
.
The
fifth
Lustre
of
the
Life
of
Lewis
the
thirteenth
.
THe
King
having
with
such
a
strong
hand
put
a
period
to
the
Civill
Wars
in
his
own
Kingdoms
,
by
debelling
his
subjects
of
the
Religion
,
and
utterly
disabling
them
from
banding
against
him
for
the
future
,
in
dismantling
all
the
tenable
Towns
they
had
for
their
security
,
and
disguarding
other
places
they
held
to
the
number
of
three
hundred
,
of
all
Military
strength
,
whereby
he
brought
them
to
Anno
1629.
depend
totally
upon
his
favor
for
their
liberty
,
and
the
performance
of
the
Edicts
granted
in
their
behalfe
,
he
now
thinks
upon
another
march
ore
the
Alps
for
the
support
of
the
Duke
of
Mantova
once
his
vassall
(
and
still
partly
so
)
being
a
Frenchman
by
birth
though
not
by
extraction
.
And
this
he
might
now
do
with
lesse
fear
then
formerly
,
having
quieted
and
secur'd
all
things
in
France
;
according
to
the
saying
,
Frustrà
foris
agit
bellum
,
qui
domi
timet
incendium
:
He
vainly
combats
abroad
,
who
fears
combustions
at
home
.
The
Duke
of
Nevers
being
now
settled
in
Mantova
the
French
grew
powerfull
in
Italy
,
which
the
Spaniard
could
not
well
disgest
;
Thereupon
a
Ligue
was
struck
'twixt
the
Emperour
and
him
,
whereinto
the
Duke
of
Savoy
entred
afterward
.
The
Emperor
questions
the
Duke
of
Nevers
about
Mantova
,
though
not
for
the
Title
,
yet
for
the
investiture
,
which
he
was
to
receive
from
him
.
Hereupon
he
sends
an
Army
to
Italy
under
the
command
of
Colalto
a
great
Captain
,
and
Marquis
Spinola
,
a
greater
,
was
Generall
for
the
King
of
Spain
,
nor
was
the
little
Duke
Emanuel
of
Savoy
inferior
to
either
,
who
after
Henry
the
Great
's
death
,
assum'd
to
himself
the
title
of
the
prime
soldier
of
Europe
.
Now
Spinola
being
tyred
with
the
lingring
Low
Countrey
Wars
,
and
having
recover'd
the
honor
he
had
lost
before
Berghen
op
some
,
by
that
notable
exploit
of
taking
Breda
,
he
procur'd
his
revokement
from
that
service
;
Being
come
to
Spain
there
was
some
clashing
'twixt
him
and
Olivares
about
accounts
;
yet
was
he
sent
to
be
Governor
of
Milan
,
and
so
was
made
Generall
of
this
War
;
He
struck
like
thunder
into
Monferrat
,
and
took
Nizza
de
la
paglia
,
and
six
places
more
notwithstanding
the
opposition
of
Toiras
(
who
had
such
successe
against
the
English
in
the
Isle
of
Ré
)
and
was
now
Governor
for
the
King
t'other
side
the
Hills
,
and
had
shut
himself
in
Casal
.
Colalto
with
the
Imperiall
Army
enters
the
same
time
the
Territories
of
Montava
,
and
takes
Viadana
,
Caneto
,
Gazole
,
Governo
,
and
presents
himself
before
Mantova
herself
:
where
the
Venetians
had
sent
1000.
men
for
the
security
of
the
Town
.
As
the
King
of
France
was
preparing
for
Italy
,
there
were
two
ill-favord
accidents
happen'd
,
one
was
that
Monsieur
being
mightily
taken
in
love
with
the
Princesse
Mary
the
Duke
of
Mantova's
daughter
for
a
second
wife
,
neither
the
King
nor
his
Mother
would
give
their
consent
unto
it
;
which
in
discontentment
made
him
leave
France
,
and
fly
to
Lorain
;
this
sudden
sally
was
like
to
breed
ill
bloud
,
for
he
publish'd
a
Manifesto
wherein
he
cast
many
aspersions
upon
the
present
Government
,
and
the
boundlesse
Authority
of
Richelieu
;
but
the
businesse
was
taken
up
by
the
ministery
of
good
heads
,
and
Monsieur
was
charm'd
to
France
again
by
an
addition
of
the
Duchy
of
Valois
,
which
was
valued
at
one
hundred
thousand
Franks
,
yeerly
to
his
former
apannage
.
The
other
was
an
insurrection
in
Dijon
the
chief
Parlement
Town
of
Anno
1630.
Burgundy
,
where
the
King
had
erected
a
new
Court
for
the
improvement
of
his
revenues
;
The
Officers
of
this
new
Court
grew
odious
,
as
all
Innovations
are
,
which
made
the
Populasse
to
mutiny
,
specially
the
Vineyard-men
,
who
in
confused
troupes
came
into
Dijon
,
and
did
many
insolences
.
The
tumult
came
to
that
height
,
and
was
of
that
consequence
that
the
King
himself
went
thither
in
Person
to
appease
it
;
which
he
did
,
by
the
assistance
and
sage
conduct
of
the
Duke
de
Bellegarde
;
he
passd
'
an
Act
of
abolition
,
provided
that
a
tax
should
be
laid
upon
the
Comminalty
for
repairing
the
losses
of
some
of
his
Officers
who
had
their
houses
burn'd
,
and
were
otherwise
damnified
in
this
popular
fury
.
In
the
interim
the
Cardinal
with
an
Army
of
twenty
thousand
foot
,
and
two
thousand
horse
(
effectif
men
)
were
ready
to
traverse
the
Alps
towards
Italy
,
for
it
was
not
thought
fit
the
King
should
venture
his
own
Person
in
the
second
Expedition
,
because
his
Physicians
had
discover'd
some
symptomes
of
an
approching
sicknes
in
him
;
The
Cardinal
was
accompagnied
with
three
Marshals
,
Crequy
,
La
Force
,
and
Schomberg
,
who
were
all
Generals
of
divers
Squadrons
;
but
the
Cardinal
was
chiefest
Director
of
the
War
;
Nor
did
he
wave
the
title
of
Generalissimo
.
Nor
do
there
want
presidents
in
France
how
Cardinals
have
bin
Generals
of
Armies
which
shall
be
produc'd
in
the
life
of
Richelieu
hereunto
annexed
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
was
somewat
shy
to
let
this
Army
passe
through
the
body
of
his
Countrey
,
or
that
there
should
be
staples
of
corn
erected
in
some
Towns
for
the
supply
of
it
;
which
made
the
Cardinall
speak
high
language
,
demanding
passage
by
vertue
of
the
Articles
of
the
late
Peace
at
Susa
:
So
the
Duke
was
willing
the
Army
should
passe
by
the
river
Dovaire
Susine
,
but
not
by
Avigliana
and
through
the
Plain
of
Piemont
.
By
this
appears
in
what
a
disadvantagious
posture
Nature
hath
placed
some
Princes
,
whose
Territories
are
situate
'twixt
greater
Potentates
then
themselfs
,
which
ofttimes
puts
them
to
weare
double
faces
,
and
play
with
a
staff
with
two
ends
.
Such
is
the
condition
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
who
besides
the
abruptnes
,
and
stupendous
craggednes
of
most
part
of
his
Countrey
,
is
plac'd
between
two
mighty
Monarks
,
the
Kings
of
France
and
Spain
,
and
is
oftentimes
put
to
his
wits
end
how
to
comply
with
both
,
how
to
put
off
his
hat
to
the
one
,
and
how
to
make
a
leg
to
the
other
.
The
Prince
of
Piemont
came
twise
to
confer
with
the
Cardinall
,
though
much
ado
happen'd
for
the
place
of
meeting
:
The
Prince
offer'd
in
his
fathers
name
to
enter
into
an
eternall
Ligue
with
his
most
Christian
Majesty
against
the
Spaniard
,
upon
condition
they
should
never
disarme
till
they
had
made
an
entire
conquest
of
Milan
and
Genoa
;
the
Cardinal
held
this
proposition
extravagant
,
and
illusory
,
and
made
of
purpose
to
render
the
King
odious
to
Italy
by
apprehensions
of
an
endlesse
war
;
thereupon
having
receiv'd
a
positif
Commission
from
the
King
to
make
his
passage
by
the
sword
,
in
case
of
further
delay
,
he
marched
before
Pignerol
,
besieged
it
,
and
took
it
;
whereby
there
Anno
1630.
was
a
double
advantage
gain'd
,
a
free
passage
for
provision
from
Dauphiné
;
as
also
that
the
said
Pignerol
enchaining
,
as
it
were
,
France
to
Italy
,
commanded
all
the
valley
of
Piemont
.
The
taking
of
Pignerol
extremely
troubled
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
therefore
he
had
recourse
to
the
Popes
Nuncio
to
stir
in
the
busines
for
an
accommodation
of
things
,
Signieur
Mazarini
a
moderate
and
well
weigh'd
Gentleman
was
joyn'd
with
him
,
and
the
Cardinal
being
return'd
to
Lions
where
the
King
and
two
Queens
were
,
to
give
an
account
how
matters
stood
;
after
much
consultation
and
canvasing
of
the
busines
to
and
fro
,
they
propounded
certain
capitulations
which
they
thought
reasonable
to
both
parties
.
The
Imperiall
and
Spanish
party
though
they
did
not
disapprove
,
yet
they
delay'd
to
give
up
their
resolution
upon
the
said
Articles
to
gain
time
,
and
see
what
successe
Colalto
should
get
before
Mantova
,
and
Spinola
before
Casal
the
chief
Town
of
Monferrat
;
Colalto
a
little
after
made
himself
Master
of
Mantova
;
The
French
were
mov'd
at
this
,
and
that
Casal
was
in
so
dangerous
condition
,
as
also
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
was
now
arming
apace
;
thereupon
the
King
with
his
Cardinal
repasse
the
Alps
with
an
Army
of
23000.

whereof
there
were

,
besides
volonteers
;
So
he
march'd
to
Chamberry
who
presently
yeelded
,
where
Conqueror

dismiss'd
the
Dukes

,
and
established
a
Counsell
of
his
own
;
he
march'd
thence
to
Constans
;
In
the
interim
Crequy
impatroniz'd
himself
of
divers
other
places
in
Savoy
;
In
the
heat
of
these
actions
the
King
had
a
desire
to
visit
the
Queen
at
Lyon
,
whither
he
came
,
but
falling
sick
,
and
disabled
to
return

,
he
sent
the
Duke
of

and
the
Marquis

Doria
was
taken
prisoner
by
the
French
,
and
divers
other
persons
of
quality
,
with
seventeen
Colours
which
were
sent
to
be
hang'd
up
as
Trophies
in
the
great
Church
of
Paris
:
The
French
afterward
took
Saluces
,
and
so
seiz'd
upon
all
Savoy
by
degrees
:
The
losse
of
his
Town
Saluces
sunk
so
deep
into
the
Dukes
breast
,
that
he
sickned
thereupon
,
and
died
foure
dayes
after
;
whereby
was
verified
the
praediction
of
Octavio
Lassani
in
an
Ephemerides
he
had
publish'd
a
few
yeers
before
,
that
Duke
Emanuel
should
die
suddenly
after
the
taking
of
Saluces
,
which
Prophecy
he
much
spake
of
in
his
sicknes
.
A
little
after
there
was
a
furious
fight
neer
Carignan
,
wherein
a
great
number
of
Commanders
and
common
soldiers
were
slain
on
both
sides
.
Signieur
Mazarini
the
Popes
Agent
stretch'd
all
the
sinewes
of
his
body
,
and
strength
of
mind
,
to
bring
about
a
suspension
of
Armes
,
and
so
to
pave
a
way
for
Peace
;
which
he
did
with
much
dexterity
:
so
there
were
Articles
drawn
,
and
command
sent
to
Spinola
from
Spain
,
to
condescend
unto
Anno
1630.
them
;
the
apprehension
hereof
wrought
so
powerfully
upon
the
Marquis
that
he
should
yeeld
to
a
cessation
before
he
had
perfected
his
businesse
before
Casal
,
which
he
gave
out
to
have
as
sure
as
a
bird
in
a
cage
,
that
he
sickned
thereupon
,
and
died
speedily
after
;
and
being
visited
by
Monsieur
Toiras
,
who
had
bin
Governor
of
Casal
during
the
siege
,
he
told
him
that
They
had
taken
away
his
honor
:
whereupon
among
other
Panagyriks
that
were
written
of
him
,
this
Epitaph
was
made
,
which
because
it
is
somewhat
extraordinary
both
for
matter
and
wit
,
and
being
on
so
gallant
a
man
I
will

The
King
this
yeer
had
a
very
hazardous
fit
of
sicknes
,
in
so
much
Anno
1631.
that
he
was
not
onely
prayed
for
generally
throughout
all
the
Churches
of
France
,
but
the
extreme
Onction
was
once
ready
to
be
applied
unto
him
.
About
the
same
time
the
Q.
Mother
began
to
be
averse
to
the
Cardinal
,
which
aversenes
came
by
degrees
,
to
a
strong
animositie
and
violent
indignation
against
him
,
in
so
much
that
notwithstanding
the
interposition
of
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
and
divers
others
,
it
was
found
incapable
of
reconcilement
.
The
ground
of
it
,
as
some
thought
,
was
,
that
he
had
not
only
advis'd
but
incited
the
King
to
war
with
her
two
sons
in
law
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
and
the
King
of
Spain
:
but
more
of
this
in
the
Cardinals
life
apart
.
The
three
Armies
which
the
King
had
in
Italy
were
mouldred
away
above
the
third
part
,
by
the
sword
,
and
sicknesses
which
raign'd
amongst
them
;
Besides
the
King
was
so
drain'd
for
money
,
that
he
had
scarce
one
thousand
pounds
remaining
;
and
the
soldiers
being
ready
to
disband
beyond
the
Hills
for
want
of
pay
,
the
Cardinal
sent
of
his
own
moneys
two
hundred
thousand
Franks
,
this
kept
the
French
together
in
Italy
till
the
Peace
was
concluded
;
which
was
done
at
last
by
the
strenuous
negotiation
and
new
endevours
of
Signieur
Mazarini
the
Popes
Agent
extraordinary
,
and
Pancirolle
the
Nuncio
by
a
Treaty
which
was
appointed
to
be
held
at
Querasque
:
Hereupon
there
were
Commissioners
interchangeably
sent
from
the
Emperour
and
the
King
of
France
who
manag'd
the
whole
busines
,
because
the
Spaniard
would
not
be
seen
in
it
,
for
he
came
in
only
as
an
Auxiliary
:
the
two
main
Articles
of
this
Treaty
were
in
the
behalf
of
the
Dukes
of
Savoy
and
Mantova
;
viz.
That
the
first
,
should
have
fifteen
thousand
crowns
yeerly
revenu
for
all
rights
and
pretentions
to
Montferrat
:
That
the
other
should
be
put
in
present
possession
of
the
Duchyes
of
Mantova
and
Montferrat
,
and
have
to
that
purpose
a
compleat
Investiture
from
the
Emperour
.
Hereupon
there
were
cautionary
Hostages
put
in
the
Popes
hands
till
performance
of
Articles
on
both
sides
;
but
by
a
secret
capitulation
,
Susa
and
Avigliana
which
were
part
of
the
Hostage
,
at
the
violent
instance
of
the
French
Commissioners
were
to
be
put
into
the
hands
of
some
of
the
Swiss-Cantons
which
were
allied
to
France
,
in
whom
,
(
though
Protestants
)
it
seems
,
the
French
King
confided
more
in
then
in
his
Holines
;
this
making
of
the
Grisons
Depositaries
gave
some
discontentment
to
the
Spaniard
which
was
accommoded
afterwards
.
These
so
often
traverses
ore
the
Alps
,
prov'd
costly
expeditions
to
France
,
both
for
men
and
money
;
for
there
was
an
account
made
of
thirty
Millions
of
Franks
which
were
expended
in
these
wars
,
and
above
one
hundred
thousand
French
perished
by
the
sword
,
sicknes
,
and
famine
:
there
were
multitudes
also
fell
on
the
other
side
,
and
all
this
hurliburly
was
chiefly
for
a
meere
Ceremony
,
viz.
an
Investiture
:
and
poor
Europe
hath
often
parted
with
abundance
of
her
most
precious
bloud
for
such
Ceremonies
,
such
any
shadows
,
and
formalities
.
The
capitulations
of
the
Treaty
at
Querasque
were
put
in
execution
Anno
1631.
by
all
parties
,
and
the
places
that
were
depositated
for
Hostages
in
the
Popes
and
Grisons
hands
were
delivered
accordingly
on
both
sides
at
the
time
appointed
:
But
the
French
after
the
expence
of
so
much
bloud
and
bullion
were
loth
to
part
with
Italy
so
,
therefore
a
privat
Treaty
was
set
a
foot
'twixt
the
King
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
about
Pignerol
;
It
was
propounded
,
That
in
regard
his
Highnes
had
all
his
Countrey
entirely
restor'd
unto
him
,
though
orerun
by
the
French
Armes
,
and
that
he
had
acquir'd
part
of
Monferrat
by
the
last
wars
which
conduc'd
more
to
his
advantage
then
to
any
others
.
And
that
whereas
his
most
Christian
Majesty
understood
that
the
Spaniard
remain'd
still
arm'd
in
Milan
,
and
had
some
desseins
a
foot
which
did
menace
no
small
danger
both
to
the
Duke
of
Mantova
,
and
the
confederat
Cantons
of
France
;
and
that
he
had
intelligence
from
good
hands
how
there
was
a
Civill
War
fomenting
in
France
,
by
some
mistrusts
and
divisions
which
were
put
between
his
Majesty
,
his
Mother
,
and
Monsieur
:
therefore
,
lest
his
Highnes
might
be
tamper'd
withall
to
favor
the
projects
of
the
Spaniard
,
to
rid
him
of
all
scruples
in
this
point
,
he
desir'd
that
Susa
&
Avigliana
,
or
Pignerol
&
Perousa
might
be
put
into
his
hands
,
to
put
French
Garrisons
in
them
,
till
these
dangers
were
pass'd
.
Servient
the
French
Ambassador
joyn'd
with
Toiras
manag'd
this
busines
so
dextrously
that
the
Duke
accorded
what
was
demanded
for
six
moneths
.
Hereupon
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Pignerol
with
Perousa
was
put
into
the
hands
of
the
Suiss
which
the
French
had
put
formerly
in
Susa
:
And
by
the
same
Treaty
his
Majesty
oblig'd
himself
to
defend
the
person
and
states
of
his
Highnes
,
if
need
requir'd
with
an
Army
of
twenty
thousand
foot
,
and
two
thousand
horse
;
provided
his
Highnes
should
proportionably
have
in
readines
ten
thousand
foot
,
and
fifteen
hundred
horse
.
The
Duke
of
Feria
fell
into
a
fury
when
he
heard
of
this
accord
,
and
call'd
heaven
and
earth
to
witnes
that
it
was
an
evident
infraction
of
the
Treaty
at
Querasque
,
by
which
the
French
were
not
to
hold
any
place
or
passage
into
Italy
within
the
states
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
:
So
the
Duke
being
lowdly
reproach'd
thereof
by
the
Spaniard
,
the
answer
he
gave
was
,
That
he
might
dispose
of
his
own
as
he
pleas'd
,
&c.
The
six
months
being
expir'd
of
holding
Pignerol
,
a
motion
was
Anno
1632.
made
to
the
Duke
,
that
,
for
his
own
safety
,
the
security
of
Mantova
,
and
the
French-Confederat
Grisons
,
as
also
for
freeing
his
Majesty
of
all
surmises
,
and
the
better
enabling
him
to
occur
all
desseins
and
dangers
,
his
Highnes
would
make
an
absolut
sale
and
transport
unto
him
of
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Pignerol
and
Perousa
,
for
a
valuable
pecuniary
consideration
▪
Toiras
and
Servient
carried
themselfs
with
such
dextrous
addresses
that
they
induc'd
the
Duke
to
hearken
to
this
Proposition
,
and
afterwards
they
drew
from
him
an
absolut
consent
;
so
a
Legal
Instrument
was
made
,
whereby
an
irrevocable
transport
and
vent
was
made
of
the
propriety
,
possession
,
and
soveraignty
of
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Pignerol
,
Riva
,
Bodenasco
,
the
higher
Biacasco
,
Castagrande
,
and
that
which
was
within
the
confines
of
the
said
Pignerol
,
the
Village
and
Abbey
of
Valdelemia
,
as
also
the
Village
and
Anno
1632.
Fort
of
Perousa
,
Pinacle
,
Villars
,
Les
porte
,
the
great
and
small
Diblon
and
their
confines
,
and
other
lands
which
are
within
the
valley
of
Perousa
,
(
excepting
those
which
depend
on
the
same
valley
on
the
left
hand
going
from
Pignerol
to
Pragelas
,
beyond
the
River
Chuson
)
all
other
places
shall
be
perpetually
united
to
the
Crown
of
France
upon
the
payment
of
four
hundred
ninety
four
thousand
crowns
in
good
money
.
This
pourchase
of
Pignerol
brought
with
it
another
strong
engagement
'twixt
the
King
and
the
Duke
,
viz.
a
Ligue
defensive
and
offensive
,
by
vertu
whereof
the
one
was
to
furnish
twenty
thousand
foot
,
and
two
thousand
horse
as
formerly
;
but
the
Duke
was
scrued
up
to
a
greater
number
then
before
,
being
to
furnish
twelve
thousand
foot
,
and
two
thousand
horse
,
upon
necessitie
of
conjunction
.
Our
story
hath
sojourn'd
a
good
while
in
Italy
,
we
must
now
crosse
again
the
Hills
to
France
,
where
we
find
the
Queen
Mother
and
the
Cardinall
irreconcilable
notwithstanding
that
the
King
himself
labour'd
much
in
the
busines
;
her
passion
went
so
high
that
she
resolv'd
never
to
sit
in
Counsell
while
the
Cardinall
was
there
.
This
aversnes
to
the
Cardinal
was
also
infus'd
into
Monsieur
,
who
abetted
his
Mother
,
and
espoused
her
quarrell
;
So
without
the
Kings
conge
,
he
retires
to
Orleans
,
and
thence
to
Lorain
,
the
Duke
of
Bellegarde
then
Governor
of
Champany
attended
him
all
the
way
through
that
Province
,
notwithstanding
that
he
had
an
intimation
to
the
contrary
from
the
King
himself
who
followed
Monsieur
as
far
as
Dijon
,
but
he
was
too
swift
for
him
,
and
so
could
not
be
overtaken
.
Hereupon
a
Declaration
issued
out
wherein
the
Count
of
Moret
Monsieurs
base
brother
,
the
Dukes
of
Elbeuf
,
of
Bellegarde
,
and
of
Roanez
,
Puylaurens
,
President
Coigneux
,
and
Monsigot
,
and
father
Chanteloube
were
proclaym'd
Traytors
,
for
infusing
ill
counsels
into
Monsieur
,
and
for
accompagnying
him
out
of
the
Kingdom
without
his
Majesties
consent
;
this
Declaration
was
sent
to
be
verifi'd
by
the
Court
of
Parlement
at
Paris
,
the
Court
paus'd
upon
't
and
excepting
against
the
style
and
form
of
it
delayed
the
verification
putting
the
busines
in
deliberation
,
yet
they
all
blam'd
and
unanimously
condemn'd
the
ill
counsels
,
and
proceedings
of
Monsieur
;
The
King
taking
an
indignation
at
this
delay
,
sent
for
the
whole
body
of
the
Parlement
to
attend
him
at
the
Louure
,
where
,
by
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
Keeper
,
they
receiv'd
a
severe
rebuke
,
and
the
Clerk
of
the
Court
bringing
with
him
the
Register
of
the
Act
of
deliberation
upon
the
former
Declaration
,
was
commanded
to
draw
it
off
the
file
,
and
in
the
place
thereof
to
put
the
Arrest
of
the
Privy
Counsell
,
whereby
the
said
Act
was
annull'd
▪
with
expresse
inhibition
to
the
said
Court
of
Parlement
,
to
put
in
deliberation
for
the
future
any
Declarations
of
that
nature
concerning
affairs
of
State
,
but
to
proceed
instantly
to
the
verification
,
and
registring
of
them
.
The
Queen
Mother
was
now
retir'd
to
Campeigne
,
where
the
Marshall
of
Estree
had
a
Garrison
which
she
interpreted
to
be
no
other
Anno
1631.
then
a
guard
upon
her
,
thereupon
the
King
dismiss'd
the
said
Garrison
:
So
she
privatly
got
away
thence
in
Madame
Frenoys
Coach
,
accompagnied
only
with
the
said
Lady
,
and
one
of
her
Chamber-women
to
Avenes
,
which
lies
within
the
Territories
of
the
King
of
Spain
in
the
17.
Provinces
:
and
thence
to
Bruxels
,
the
Archduchesse
having
come
to
meet
her
on
the
way
as
far
as
Mons
in
Henault
.
Monsieur
from
Lorain
,
and
the
Queen
Mother
from
Bruxells
writ
to
the
King
,
and
complain'd
bitterly
against
the
Cardinal
how
he
would
have
removed
her
to
Moulins
and
Angers
where
the
contagion
raignd
,
and
so
have
thrust
her
into
the
jawes
of
death
;
she
conjur'd
him
to
think
on
the
relation
of
Mother
and
Son
,
and
that
she
was
the
person
most
interessed
in
his
preservation
,
yet
the
Cardinal
had
pernicious
intentions
to
make
her
die
between
fower
walls
;
this
was
the
cause
she
left
France
,
and
to
journey
thirty
leagues
without
eating
or
drinking
;
she
goes
on
in
declaring
how
conformable
she
was
to
his
will
in
all
things
,
and
how
she
respected
his
Authority
in
the
hands
of
her
enemies
;
and
so
concluds
that
not
being
suffer'd
to
live
in
France
in
the
calm
of
her
own
innocency
,
the
most
sensible
misery
that
could
befall
her
was
to
be
bereft
of
his
presence
,
&c.
Besides
this
Letter
she
sent
another
to
the
Parlement
at
Paris
,
with
a
Remonstrance
against
the
present
Government
.
The
King
returns
her
a
harsh
Answer
,
and
cleers
his
Cardinal
in
all
things
;
and
publish'd
a
Declaration
wherein
he
disadvowes
that
she
was
ever
prisoner
,
but
that
she
had
liberty
to
choose
any
place
throughout
the
whole
Kingdome
to
live
in
,
except
Champany
,
and
for
more
respect
she
should
have
the
Government
of
the
place
and
Province
;
he
declares
further
that
her
departure
with
his
Brothers
,
was
plotted
by
those
that
are
not
only
envious
but
enemies
of
the
felicity
of
France
;
therefore
he
prohibits
and
utterly
forbids
all
his
subjects
of
what
quality
or
condition
soever
,
to
have
intelligence
or
correspondence
with
his
said
Mother
and
Brother
,
or
with
any
of
their
domestic
servants
,
or
with
those
that
are
partakers
of
their
Counsels
under
what
pretence
whatsoever
.
Gustavus
King
of
Sweden
having
by
the
intercession
of
the
Ambassadors
of
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
and
France
,
made
his
peace
with
the
Pole
,
strikes
into
Germany
,
and
like
an
impetuous
torrent
carries
all
before
him
for
a
time
.
He
enters
into
an
Alliance
with
France
,
and
in
few
dayes
the
Treaty
was
concluded
,
whereof
the
Articles
were
these
that
follow
.
-
1.
The
present
Alliance
which
is
made
betwixt
their
Majesties
is
principally
for
the
defence
of
all
their
oppressed
friends
,
and
for
the
safety
of
commerce
by
Sea
;
to
reestablish
all
the
Princes
and
Estates
of
the
Empire
in
the
same
condition
they
were

the
beginning
of
the
German
war
,
and
to
cause
all
Forts
and
intrenchments
upon
the
Baltic
Sea
to
be
demolish'd
.
-

To
this
effect

entertain
,
and
conduct
upon
his
own
charge
an

thirty
thousand

and

and
the

of
France
promiseth
to

Anno

Franks
(
two
shillings
sterling
a
peece
)
one

May
,
the

in
November
next

in
Paris
or
Amsterdam
,
and
that
this
Alliance
shall
last
to
the
first
of
March
in
the
yeer
1636.
-
3.
That
if
it
please
God
to
favour
the
armes
of
the
King
of
Sweden
he
shall
not
alter
or
change
the
Catholic
Apostolic
Roman
Religion
in
those
places
that
he
shall
conquer
,
but
he
shall
permit
the
Inhabitants
to
have
free
exercise
of
their
Religion
,
according
to
the
Treaty
at
Passaw
,
and
the
constitutions
of
the
Empire
.
-
4.
That
he
shall
keep
himself
in
good
friendship
and
neighbourhood
with
the
Elector
(
so
he
call'd
him
)
of
Bavaria
,
and
with
the
Catholic
ligue
,
or
at
least
in
a
neutrality
,
provided
they
do
the
like
.
-
5.
That
no
Peace
or
Treaty
be
accorded
by
one
without
the
consent
of
the
other
.
-
6.
That
in
regard
this
Treaty
was
begun
the
last
yeer
,
and
in
the
interim
his
Majesty
of
Sweden
hath
bin
at
great
expence
,
in
consideration
hereof
his
Majesty
of
France
shall
deliver
the
summe
of
three
hundred
thousand
Franks
in
good
Letters
of
exchange
,
which
ought
not
to
be
deducted
out
of
those
summes
that
were
specified
before
for
five
yeers
to
come
.
These
Articles
being
agreed
upon
,
the
King
of
France
sent
them
to
the
Bavarian
to
approve
of
,
and
subscribe
them
,
but
the
old
Duke
suspended
his
resolution
many
moneths
,
and
then
the
Swed
having
gain'd
the
great
Battail
of
Leipsic
against
the
Imperialists
and
the
Catholic
Ligue
,
the
affaires
of
Germany
chang'd
face
:
Charnassé
the
French
Ambassador
came
from
the
Swedish
Army
not
without
some
complaints
to
Paris
;
yet
he
was
sent
back
with
the
Marquis
of
Brezé
Ambassadour
extraordinary
to
the
King
of
Sweden
to
solicit
still
for
a
neutrality
'twixt
his
Army
,
and
that
of
the
Catholic
Ligue
;
which
was
agreed
upon
,
provided
that
the
chief
of
the
said
Ligue
would
separat
their
Forces
,
and
retire
into
their
own
Territories
;
This
declaration
of
neutrality
being
brought
to
the
Bavarian
he
was
willing
to
sign
it
,
provided
that
the
Swed
would
restore
what
he
had
taken
from
the
said
Catholic
Ligue
since
the
Battail
of
Leipsic
;
for
after
that
Battail
he
had
made
a
monstrous
progres
and
penetrated
the
heart
of
Germany
,
having
now
cross'd
the
Rhine
(
which
he
had
promis'd
not
to
do
without
the
French
Kings
consent
)
and
seiz'd
upon
the
City
of
Metz
where
he
now
kept
a
Court
Emperour-like
;
The
French
Ambassadors
proposing
unto
him
a
restitution
of
what
he
had
taken
from
the
Catholic
Ligue
,
he
refus'd
it
,
whereupon
there
were
high
words
pass'd
twixt
him
,
and
the
Ambassadors
,
so
the
neutrality
ceas'd
,
and
turn'd
to
hostility
afterwards
,
and
the
Swed
commanded
all
Roman
Catholicks
to
void
the
Town
of
Mentz
for
fear
they
had
intelligence
with
some
Spanish
Troups
that
were
at
Spire
;
but
that
order
was
revok'd
by
the
mediation
of
the
French
Ambassadors
;
so
the
alliance
lasted
still
twixt
the
two
Kings
.
The
King
of
France
a
little
after
this
being
march'd
as
far
as
Metz
with
an
Army
for
the
defence
of
his
Allies
,
was
visited
there
by
Anno
1632.
some
German
Princes
,
and
the
Duke
of
Lorain
came
thither
in
Person
,
of
purpose
to
see
him
,
and
to
scatter
some
clowds
of
diffidence
and
jealousies
that
were
'twixt
the
King
and
him
:
so
a
new
Treaty
was
agreed
on
wherein
there
were
some
Articles
very
disadvantagious
to
the
Lorrener
:
As
first
,
That
the
said
Duke
should
depart
from
that
time
forward
from
all
Intelligences
,
Ligues
,
Associations
or
Practices
,
which
he
had
or
might
have
with
any
Prince
or
State
whatsoever
to
the
prejudice
of
his
Majesty
,
his
Estates
,
and
Countreys
under
his
obedience
and
protection
;
as
also
in
prejudice
of
the
Alliance
and
Confederation
'twixt
him
and
the
King
of
Sweden
,
and
'twixt
him
and
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
for
the
conservation
of
the
liberty
of
Germany
,
and
the
Catholic
Ligue
,
and
defence
of
the
Princes
that
are
allied
and
friends
to
France
.
Secondly
,
That
the
said
Duke
shall
not
treat
,
or
make
any
Alliance
with
any
Prince
or
State
whatsoever
,
without
the
knowledge
and
consent
of
the
said
King
.
Thirdly
,
That
he
cause
to
retire
out
of
his
Countrey
all
such
that
are
enemies
to
the
King
,
and
that
he
shall
give
neither
passe
nor
safe
conduct
to
any
of
his
subjects
that
have
gone
out
of
France
against
his
pleasure
.
Fourthly
,
That
no
Military
leavies
be
made
in
his
Countrey
against
his
Majesties
service
,
nor
that
any
of
his
subjects
serve
or
assist
his
enemies
.
Fifthly
,
That
he
shall
give
liberty
and
power
to
them
who
shall
be
sent
from
the
King
to
seiz
upon
and
arrest
any
rebellious
subjects
being
accus'd
and
convinc'd
of
Treason
;
These
with
other
Articles
were
agreed
upon
in
this
Treaty
which
the
King
would
not
cōmence
unles
he
had
first
deliver'd
up
Marsal
a
strong
tenable
place
.
In
such
a
posture
,
as
we
told
you
before
that
Nature
had
plac'd
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
in
the
self
same
posture
(
the
quality
of
the
soyles
excepted
)
may
the
Duke
of
Lorain
be
said
to
be
,
being
situated
'twixt
mightier
Potentats
then
himself
,
who
,
as
once
the
Lion
did
increpat
the
innocent
Lamb
for
troubling
the
waters
,
may
make
him
the
subject
of
their
displeasure
and
advantage
at
any
time
to
devoure
him
:
But
the
Lorrener
of
the
two
,
is
in
a
worse
condition
then
the
Savoyard
,
being
homageable
to
the
Emperour
and
the
King
of
France
,
holding
Lorain
in
fee
of
the
one
,
and
the
Duchy
of
Bar
of
the
other
.
While
the
Treaty
at
Vic
'twixt
the
King
and
the
Duke
of
Lorain
was
in
agitation
,
the
Marshall
de
la
Force
and
Schomberg
took
Moyenvic
,
whence
they
marchd
before
the
Town
of
Tryers
,
the
protection
of
whose
Archbishop
the
King
had
undertaken
,
he
being
amongst
the
seven
Electors
Lord
High
Chancelor
of
France
,
as
he
of
Collen
is
of
Italy
,
and
he
of
Mentz
of
Germany
;
Tryers
in
a
short
time
fell
to
parley
,
and
so
rendred
herself
upon
honorable
termes
.
In
this
yeer
there
came
an
Ambassador
from
the
Emperour
of
Morocco
to
the
Court
of
France
,
who
afterwards
went
to
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
,
taking
France
first
in
his
way
,
as
she
stood
;
he
brought
a
Letter
in
Arabic
to
this
effect
.
God
is
Our
confidence
.
These
Letters
of
the
most
mighty
Emperour
who
being
assisted
by
Divine
grace
and
favor
is
alwayes

,
swelling
with

;
whose

1632.
Court

and

,
are
sent
to
the

High
,
and
most
excellent

Dignity
whose
Realm
within
the
bounds
of
Christendom
hath
the
most
illustrious

and
ranke
:
To
the
Dignity
,
I
say
,
of
the
most
eminent
,
the
most
noble
,
the
most
happy
,
and
the
most
renowned
Emperour
the
King
of
France
and
Navar
,
the
Emperour
Lewis
,
son
to
mighty
,
magnificent
,
famous
and
magnanimous
Emperours
:
Having
wish'd
glory
to
God
the
soverain
Master
of
all
Glory
and
Majesty
,
whose
Empire
hath
no
need
of
any
Counsellor
,
or
the
assistance
of
any
Prince
,
whose
prayses
cannot
be
expressed
by
any
tongue
though
never
so
eloquent
;
Having
rendred
the
honours
which
are
due
to
our
Lord
Mahomet
,
most
eminent
in
dignity
,
most
rich
in
treasure
,
preserver
of
men
in
the
tempestuous
day
of
judgement
;
we
desire
of
God
that
the
people
made
famous
by
this
Prophet
be
acceptable
unto
him
,
that
he
please
to
maintain
them
ever
in
his
particular
protection
,
and
that
all
they
who
love
him
persist
to
the
end
in
the
exercise
of
good
and
laudable
actions
:
And
we
make
particular
prayers
for
the
prosperitie
of
his
most
high
,
imperial
,
prophetic
and
most
eminent
throne
,
assisted
always
by
God
,
and
wherein
by
the
meanes
of
his
invincible
force
the
elect
people
,
and
all
his
subjects
are
exalted
,
his
memory
and
steps
remaining
to
eternity
.
This
Letter
of
our
high
Majesty
hath
bin
written
from
the
throne
of
our
Empire
of
Maroc
,
which
God
by
his
grace
and
goodnes
,
and
by
the
benediction
of
his
Apostle
conserve
,
who
doth
not
subsist
but
by
the
continuall
assistance
of
God
,
whose
providence
never
ceasing
to
assist
him
serves
incomparably
more
to
his
defence
then
any
other
of
all
the
Armies
of
the
world
,
for
which
we
render
infinit
thanks
to
his
Divine
Majesty
,
to
whom
is
the
sole
power
,
strength
and
might
,
&c.
The
Superscription
was
To
the
most
renowned
and
magnificent
dwelling
,
within
all
the
bounds
of
Christendom
,
the
most
eminent
Palace
.
The
Palace
of
the
most
Honorable
,
the
most
Noble
,
the
most
Mighty
Emperour
,
the
King
of
France
and
Navar
,
the
Emperour
Lewis
.
This
Mahumetan
Ambassador
came
from
Muley
King
of
Morocco
in
Barbary
for
the
redemption
of
certain
slaves
that
were
in
Marseilles
Gallies
,
which
he
obtain'd
;
and
in
exchange
all
the
French
that
were
Captifs
in
Saly
and
other
places
belonging
to
Morocco
were
releas'd
;
besides
it
was
agreed
that
the
King
of
France
might
nominat
Consuls
in
those
Towns
of
commerce
which
were
under
his
Dominion
who
should
have
power
to
determin
any
controversie
that
might
intervene
between
the
subjects
of
France
there
traffiquing
.
Such
a
bombardicall
Letter
he
brought
also
(
accompagnied
with
presents
)
to
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
who
sent
an
English
Fleet
in
his
favor
against
the
Pyrats
,
and
Rebell
-
Saint
of
Saly
,
who
did
him
much
service
for
reducing
the
Town
to
his
obedience
.
Don
Gonzales
de
Cordova
passing
through
France
to
Flanders
,
came
Anno
1632.
to
kisse
the
Kings
hands
;
who
sent
him
a
rich
sword
valued
at
four
thousand
crowns
inlay'd
with
Diamonds
,
which
he
refus'd
;
and
Monsieur
Guron
conducted
him
to
Cambray
,
he
refus'd
also
the
present
that
Gonzales
would
have
given
him
,
saying
,
That
he
disdain'd
any
present
from
him
who
refus'd
the
bounty
of
his
King
.
The
Duke
of
Lorain
receives
Monsieur
again
into
his
Countrey
,
notwithstanding
the
former
Treaty
,
and
leavies
forces
for
him
to
enter
France
;
the
King
being
extremely
incens'd
thereat
,
marcheth
suddenly
towards
Lorain
,
and
employes
the
forces
that
was
design'd
for
Germany
that
way
,
with
whom
he
joyn'd
in
person
and
took
divers
places
in
Lorain
;
The
Duke
finding
himself
unable
to
resist
,
and
being
in
despair
of
any
forces
from
Flanders
,
the
Spaniard
being
then
busie
at
Mastric
,
he
had
recourse
to
a
Treaty
,
which
the
King
yeelded
unto
;
The
Treaty
was
to
be
held
at
Liverdun
,
where
the
Cardinal
met
the
Deputies
of
the
Duke
;
Most
of
the
Articles
of
the
Treaty
at
Vic
were
confirm'd
;
and
the
Duke
was
oblig'd
besides
to
deliver
unto
him
Iamets
and
Stenay
for
hostage
,
and
to
make
an
absolut
sale
unto
him
of
the
County
of
Clermont
for
a
pecuniary
sum
:
thus
the
busines
was
quickly
concluded
,
and
the
Cardinal
of
Lorain
was
to
remain
for
pledge
till
the
Capitulations
were
perform'd
.
The
Duke
of
Lorain
being
thus
surpriz'd
,
was
made
unable
to
assist
Monsieur
as
he
expected
;
nor
could
he
have
any
supplies
from
Flanders
because
of
the
siege
at
Maestrict
,
yet
he
enters
France
with
eighteen
hundred
horse
,
most
of
them
strangers
,
as
Liegeois
and
Crabats
;
He
publish'd
a
Manifesto
to
justifie
his
taking
of
Arms
,
Charging
Richelieu
with
the
usurpation
,
and
dissipation
of
France
,
and
that
he
had
no
other
intent
but
to
let
his
Majesty
know
how
much
he
was
deceived
,
and
so
exhorted
all
good
Frenchmen
to
assist
him
in
his
laudable
desseins
.
The
King
caus'd
a
counter-Manifesto
to
be
proclaimed
,
declaring
them
Traytors
in
the
highest
degree
that
should
adhere
to
Monsieur
,
yet
if
he
would
lay
down
his
Arms
,
and
submit
himself
within
the
compas
of
forty
dayes
after
the
publication
of
the
said
Manifesto
,
he
would
forget
all
faults
pass'd
,
and
Monsieur
should
find
such
welcome
that
he
should
have
cause
to
extoll
the
Kings
goodnes
,
and
detest
the
pernicious
counsels
that
had
bin
given
him
:
The
King
doubting
that
words
would
little
prevail
without
the
sword
,
dispatch'd
Marshall
de
la
Force
with
ten
thousand
foot
,
and
twelve
hundred
horse
to
Languedoc
,
because
he
understood
that
Monsieur
would
draw
in
Monmorency
to
joyn
him
,
which
he
did
,
with
foure
Bishops
more
:
the
Duke
of
Monmorency
then
Governor
of
Languedoc
summons
the
States
together
,
wherein
he
declar'd
himself
for
Monsieur
,
and
never
to
separat
from
his
interests
till
the
Government
was
reform'd
.
The
King
hearing
of
Monmorencies
revolt
was
extreamly
incens'd
,
and
the
more
because
he
had
sent
him
extraordinary
Commission
,
and
money
besides
to
raise
Troups
for
his
service
,
wherewith
he
was
now
ready
to
bandy
against
him
,
therupon
he
commanded
his
House
in
Paris
to
be
seiz'd
on
,
and
all
his
goods
inventoriz'd
,
amongst
Anno
1632.
which
there
were
550000.
Franks
found
in
money
:
He
caus'd
a
Declaration
also
to
be
publish'd
wherein
he
and
all
his
Adherents
were
proclaym'd
Rebells
.
Monsieur
and
Monmorency
were
grown
so
strong
that
the
King
in
Person
with
an
Army
of
twenty
thousand
foot
,
and
two
thousand
horse
went
to
suppresse
them
:
Some
of
the
Kings
Army
was
about
Castel
nau-d'Arry
,
under
the
command
of
Schomberg
,
where
Monmorency
in
a
martiall
heat
,
but
more
in
a
desperat
then
valiant
resolution
,
accompagnied
with
the
Earls
of
Rieux
,
and
Fevillade
,
and
only
eight
horse
more
fac'd
and
set
upon
the
Royalists
,
broak
the
ranks
of
some
of
them
,
kill'd
divers
,
and
hurt
many
;
but
after
he
was
hurt
himself
in
the
face
,
and
in
sundry
places
about
his
body
so
that
he
fell
off
his
horse
,
and
cried
out
for
a
Confessor
;
so
one
of
his
men
taking
him
upon
his
back
,
he
was
taken
prisoner
and
carried
upon
a
ladder
to
Castel
nau
d'
Arry
:
In
the
said
conflict
was
kill'd
one
of
Henry
the
Great
's
base
sons
the
Count
of
Moret
,
with
the
fore-mentioned
Earls
of
Rieux
and
Fevillade
,
and
the
whole
Army
was
routed
.
Notwithstanding
all
these
provocations
the
King
sent
a
gracious
Message
to
Monsieur
inviting
him
to
come
unto
him
,
and
the
same
day
Monsieur
had
sent
to
the
King
Chaudebonne
with
these
Propositions
:
1.
That
the
Duke
of
Monmorency
should
be
releas'd
,
and
reestablish'd
in
his
estate
and
government
,
together
with
the
Dukes
of
Elbaeuf
and
Bellegarde
:
2.
That
his
Majesty
would
render
to
the
Duke
of
Lorain
all
the
places
he
detain'd
from
him
:
3.
That
an
Act
of
abolition
should
passe
:
4.
That
a
million
of
Franks
which
he
had
borrow'd
should
be
pay'd
.
Whereunto
the
King
made
this
Answer
.
My
Brother
,
the
Propositions
which
Chaudebonne
hath
made
me
in
your
behalf
,
are
so
little
sortable
to
my
dignity
,
to
the
public
and
your
own
proper
good
,
that
I
cannot
return
any
other
answer
then
what
I
sent
you
formerly
by
Monsieur
Aiguebonne
to
testifie
my
affection
unto
you
;
I
pray
dispose
of
your self
to
receive
the
effects
of
them
,
assuring
you
that
in
so
doing
I
shall
forget
what
's
pass'd
,
and
shall
make
it
appear
unto
you
more
and
more
that
I
am
your
most
affectionat
Brother
Lewis
.
This
Letter
was
seconded
a
little
after
with
Articles
to
this
effect
.
1.
That
Monsieur
should
acknowledge
his
fault
by
writing
,
and
desire
the
King
to
forget
and
pardon
.
2.
That
he
give
the
best
assurance
he
can
not
to
fall
into
a
relaps
.
3.
To
have
no
intelligence
with
Spain
,
Lorain
or
any
other
strange
Prince
,
nor
with
the
Queen
his
Mother
as
long
as
she
continues
in
the
case
she
stands
,
and
to
sojourn
in
what
place
the
King
shall
appoint
him
.
4.
That
he
mingle
not
his
interests
with
those
that
were
his
Complices
and
ill
counsellors
which
must
be
proceeded
against
according
to
law
,
yet
,
amongst
them
his
domesticks
shall
be
exempted
.
5.
That
Puy
Laurens
who
suggested
these
ill
Counsels
into
him
sincerely
confesse
what
further
practises
were
intended
against
the
State
,
and
that
he
acknowledge
himself
Anno
1633.
culpable
,
before
he
receive
grace
.
To
all
these
Monsieur
subscrib'd
in
this
forme
.
We
Gaston
son
of
France
,
unic
Brother
to
the
King
,
Duc
of
Orleans
,
Chartres
and
Valois
,
Earl
of
Blois
do
consent
to
what
is
propounded
by
his
Majesty
,
and
upon
the
word
and
faith
of
a
Prince
we
promise
a
religious
performance
of
all
the
Articles
:
We
promise
besides
to
conspire
with
all
our
power
to
all
the
good
desseins
of
the
King
for
the
grandeur
and
safety
of
his
Kingdoms
,
and
to
love
them
that
love
his
Majesty
,
and
specially
our
Cosen
the
Cardinall
of
Richelieu
,
whom
we
hold
to
be
necessary
to
the
Person
and
States
of
the
King
for
his
fidelity
.
After
this
a
Declaration
was
publish'd
for
all
strangers
that
came
in
with
Monsieur
to
quit
the
Kingdom
within
8.
dayes
;
some
of
the
chiefest
instruments
of
this
sollevation
were
cut
off
by
the
sword
of
Justice
,
and
amongst
other
the
foure
Bishops
spoken
of
before
,
were
legally
proceeded
against
,
by
a
speciall
Brief
from
Rome
wherein
there
were
foure
Archbishops
nominated
as
Deligats
to
judge
them
,
whereof
the
Archbishop
and
Prince
of
Arles
was
chief
;
though
the
ancient
form
of
proceeding
against
Prelats
for
crimes
was
us'd
to
be
by
a
Synod
of
the
Gallic
Bishops
:
Not
one
of
the
foresaid
Delinquent
Bishops
was
condem'd
to
die
,
only
the
Bishop
of
Albi
was
depriv'd
of
his
Bishoprick
,
and
confin'd
to
a
Monastery
to
eat
the
bread
of
sorrow
.
There
fell
this
yeer
upon
the
Kings
return
from
Narbon
through
Languedoc
in
a
sudden
showr
of
rain
such
huge
cataracts
of
water
from
the
Airie
Region
,
that
two
hundred
persons
were
drownd
upon
the
highwayes
,
four
Coches
of
the
Queens
,
and
fifty
Carts
were
swallowed
up
in
the
deluge
.
The
Duke
of
Monmorency
being
taken
prisoner
was
carried
to
Tholouse
where
he
was
to
receive
his
tryall
not
by
his
Peers
but
by
the
ordinary
way
of
Justice
,
he
was
legally
convicted
and
condemn'd
;
there
were
all
means
possible
us'd
for
his
pardon
,
but
the
King
was
inflexible
,
so
with
exemplary
patience
and
piety
he
pai'd
Nature
her
last
tribut
;
he
put
off
his
doublet
himself
,
and
cut
off
his
hair
and
mustachos
before
he
came
to
the
Block
.
Thus
fell
Henry
of
Monmorency
Duke
,
Peer
,
and
Marshall
,
and
of
the
ancientest
extractions
of
France
,
in
so
much
that
Henry
the
Great
was
us'd
to
say
,
that
he
was
a
better
Gentleman
then
himself
;
the
Motto
in
his
Scutcheon
was
Dieu
aide
le
premier
Chevalier
Chrestien
,
God
preserve
the
first
Christian
Cavalier
;
he
left
no
son
nor
male
Heir
behind
,
so
this
Illustrious
Family
went
out
like
a
snuffe
,
such
an
ill-savor'd
sent
Rebellion
leaves
behind
it
.
Monsieur
for
not
obtaining
Monmorencys
pardon
,
though
he
had
prevayl'd
for
the
Dukes
of
Elbaeuf
,
and
Bellegarde
,
grew
again
discontented
,
and
forsakes
France
;
The
Cardinall
of
Richelieu
had
at
this
time
a
dangerous
fit
of
sicknes
,
so
that
a
great
while
the
infirmities
of
his
body
would
not
give
him
leave
to
exercise
the
functions
of
his
soule
;
A
little
after
his
convalescence
,
there
was
a
chapter
of
the
Anno
1633.
Knights
of
the
Royall
Order
,
the
Holy
Spirit
,
kept
,
wherein
there
were
forty
nine
more
created
,
and
the
honor
was
conferr'd
chiefly
upon
them
that
had
serv'd
against
them
of
the
Religion
.
The
Duke
of
Lorain
appearing
more
for
the
House
of
Austria
then
the
Sweds
in
the
German
war
,
the
King
to
quarrell
with
him
,
demanded
homage
for
the
Duchy
of
Bar
,
the
Duke
wav'd
the
performance
of
this
ceremony
,
alledging
that
those
homages
which
were
pretended
to
be
done
by
his
Progenitors
were
but
visits
and
complements
,
not
any
reall
dutyes
,
there
being
no
act
upon
record
for
them
.
There
happend
another
occasion
of
displeasure
against
the
Duke
in
that
the
Princess
Margaret
was
maried
to
Monsieur
not
only
without
the
Kings
consent
,
but
expresly
against
his
command
;
It
being
observ'd
that
Matches
with
that
Family
have
bin
fatall
,
and
that
Lorain
milk
have
engendred
but
ill
bloud
in
France
.
So
he
arms
mainly
against
the
Duke
,
and
being
advanced
as
far
as
Nancy
the
Duke
and
the
Cardinal
had
conference
,
but
in
the
interim
his
sister
the
Princesse
went
in
Pages
apparell
out
of
the
Town
,
and
got
to
Brussels
to
Monsieur
her
husband
where
the
marriage
,
which
was
before
but
clandestin
,
was
publicly
consummated
;
The
Duke
did
much
complement
with
the
King
,
sending
him
word
,
That
if
the
gates
of
Nancy
were
not
wide
enough
to
let
him
in
,
he
would
pull
down
the
walls
,
to
make
him
entrance
:
The
Duke
had
a
safe
conduct
to
come
to
the
Kings
Army
to
treat
with
the
Cardinal
,
who
prov'd
too
hard
for
him
,
in
so
much
that
he
was
forc'd
to
yeeld
that
the
King
should
enter
Nancy
,
or
remain
prisoner
;
This
made
him
afterward
tax
both
King
and
Cardinal
with
a
contravention
of
their
promises
and
faith
.
So
Nancy
was
rendred
for
a
time
,
and
a
French
Garrison
was
plac'd
there
,
in
lieu
of
the
old
which
consisted
of
2300.
foot
,
and
230.
horse
.
After
this
the
King
re-establish'd
the
Archbishop
of
Tryers
in
his
estates
,
and
so
returnd
triumphantly
to
Paris
.
This
yeer
the
Duke
of
Crequy
was
sent
Ambassadour
to
Rome
in
a
most
splendid
equipage
to
prostrat
at
the
Popes
feet
all
the
trophies
got
of
them
of
the
Religion
;
That
Saint-like
Lady
the
Archduchesse
Clara
Eugenia
Isabellad
'
Austria
,
Governesse
of
Flanders
died
about
this
time
;
and
Monsieur
understanding
that
the
Infant
Cardinal
,
the
King
of
Spaines
youngest
brother
,
was
to
come
thither
to
govern
,
he
Anno
1634.
began
to
think
of
his
return
to
France
;
besides
the
Spaniards
began
to
have
some
sinister
surmises
of
him
,
in
regard
he
did
not
command
a
Bonfire
to
be
made
before
his
house
in
joy
of
the
Battail
at
Norlingben
;
so
making
semblance
one
morning
to
go
a
hauking
he
posted
privatly
to
France
(
leaving
his
wife
and
mother
behind
)
without
bidding
any
farewell
,
or
giving
thanks
for
his
entertainment
all
the
while
,
which
was
so
costly
to
Spaine
;
so
the
King
and
he
were
peec'd
again
now
the
fourth
time
.
The
King
having
put
the
Duke
of
Lorain
as
it
were
in
his
shirt
,
by
stripping
him
of
all
his
Countrey
,
after
a
tough
siege
he
took
also
la
Motte
;
His
forces
in
Germany
had
also
taken
Haguenaw
▪
Manheim
likewise
,
Anno
1634.
and
Philipsburg
were
put
into
his
hands
:
And
because
it
was
expenceful
unto
him
to
keep
so
many
Garrisons
in
Lorain
,
he
demolish'd
divers
Castles
up
and
down
the
Countrey
,
whereby
the
Logic
rule
was
made
subservient
to
Policy
,
Frustra

.
France
was
in
an
extreme
high
and
triumphant
condition
at
this
time
;
And
being
in
a
perfect
tranquillity
within
doores
,
she
fell
upon
the
establishment
of
wholsome
laws
,
therefore
divers
Edicts
were
publish'd
;
one
for
the
reformation
of
Abbeys
,
another
for
suppressing
the
lux
and
superfluities
in
apparell
,
with
an
inhibition
to
wear
gold
and
silver
lace
,
and
other
gaudy
trimmings
:
a
third
for
regulating
of
Military
Discipline
,
and
the
biliting
of
Soldiers
:
a
fourth
,
that
they
of
the
Religion
should
entertain
no
strange
Ministers
.
There
was
also
a
Royall
Botomicall
Garden
made
in
Paris
,
for
the
culture
of
medicinall
Plants
,
and
other
curiosities
;
Moreover
there
was
a
company
of
Marchants
erected
for
new
France
in
the
Indies
for
the
advancement
of
traffic
.
And
Paris
had
her
skirts
enlarg'd
,
the
Twilleries
,
and
part
of
Saint
German
being
brought
within
her
inclosure
.
We
will
finish
this
fifth
Lustre
with
a
remarkable
passage
that
happen'd
in
Italy
.
Gasper
Galilei
Galileo
a
man
exactly
vers'd
in
the
Mathematiques
,
of
profound
speculations
and
high
reaches
,
having
more
then
ordinary
inspections
into
the
motions
of
heavenly
Bodies
,
(
witnes
that
rare
Prospectif
of
his
)
publish'd
a
Book
intituled
,
A
Dialogue
of
the
two
Systems
of
the
World
,
of
Ptolomey
and
Copernicus
;
Wherein
(
with
the
latter
)
he
upholds
that
the
Sun
is
the
Centre
of
the
world
standing
alwayes
still
,
and
that
the
Earth
as
the
rest
of
her
fellow
Elements
together
with
the
Planets
and
fixed
Stars
,
are
in
perpetuall
motion
:
In
the
Convent
of
Minerva
,
Galileo
recanted
this
opinion
of
the
Suns
repose
,
and
the
Earths
motion
,
because
it
was
oppos'd
to
holy
Scripture
,
&
so
by
consequence
a
heresie
;
yet
because
he
had
taught
it
his
Disciples
,
his
punishment
was
to
be
in
prison
during
pleasure
,
his
penance
was
,
that
for
three
yeers
he
should
repeat
the
seven
penitentiall
Psalmes
once
every
week
:
a
milder
sentence
far
then
Vigilius
the
Bishop
had
about
the
times
of
the
Primitive
Church
for
maintaining
there
were
Antipodes
,
for
which
he
was
condemn'd
to
die
,
that
opinion
being
held
then
to
be
a
monstrous
Paradox
,
though
our
modern
Navigators
have
long
since
evinc'd
the
truth
of
it
:
It
hath
bin
alwayes
the
method
of
providence
to
impart
knowledge
to
mankind
by
certain
degrees
,
as
we
find
it
true
commonly
in
our
Mundan
negotiations
,
that

I
could
enlarge
my self
further
upon
this
Theam
were
it
pertinent
to
my
main
historical
subject
,
but
being
not
,
I
put
a
period
to
it
,
and
to
this
fifth
Lustre
.
The
sixth
Lustre
of
the
Life
of
Lewis
Anno
1635.
the
thirteenth
.
THis
Lustre
begins
with
sound
of
Drum
and
Trumpet
more
lowdly
then
any
of
the
former
,
it
begins
with
an
open
rupture
of
the
peace
'twixt
the
two
mighty
Monarques
of
France
and
Spain
:
'T
is
true
,
there
had
bin
formerly
,
ever
since
the
beginning
of
the
German
wars
,
and
those
of
Italy
and
the
Grisons
some
clashings
and
counterbuffs
between
them
,
but
it
was
in
an
Auxiliary
collateral
way
,
each
of
them
(
according
to
his
severall
interest
)
reaching
his
hand
to
his
friend
,
and
assisting
his
Confederat
,
and
those
which
put
themselfs
under
their
protection
;
but
this
yeer
you
shall
find
there
will

public

enmity
by

of
Herald
proclaim'd
between
the
two
Kings
though
brothers
,
each
of
them
having
one
anothers
sister
in
their
beds
for
twenty
yeers
together
.
The
House
of
Austria
had
had
an
extraordinary
good
yeer
of
the
last
,
for
after
the
Battail
of
Norlinghen
,
which
was
the
greatest
victory
he
obtain'd
(
except
that
of
Prague
against
the
Prince
Palatine
)
since
the
beginning
of
the
German
wars
,
he
push'd
on
his
good
fortune
and
invaded
the
Territories
of
the
Duke
of
Wittemberg
and
Marquis
of
Baden
or
Durlas
;
besides
he
sets
upon
the
City
of
Triers
and
seizeth
upon
Her
,
with
her
Archbishop
the
Elector
,
whom
he
carried
away
prisoner
notwithstanding
that
he
had
put
himself
under
the
shadow
of
the
Flower-de-luce
:
Add
hereunto
that
by
the
advantage
of
yce
he
took
the
strong
Tower
of
Philipsburg
,
where
the
French
were
put
to
the
sword
,
and
the
Germans
spar'd
;
The
reduction
of
this
place
was
of
such
consequence
,
that
it
help'd
to
secure
Heidelberg
,
Manheim
,
Worms
,
Spire
,
Frankfort
,
Mentz
,
Crusnack
,
Frankindal
and
Treves
,
all
which
places
were
master'd
by
the
Imperialists
.
Though
all
these
were
properly
the
Emperours
acts
,
yet
France
and
Holland
father'd
them
upon
the
Spaniard
who
contributed
,
that
which
is
the
greatest
sinew
of
War
,
viz.
Money
to
assist
his
Uncle
.
And
being
sensible
of
these
mighty
progresses
and
growth
of
the
House
of
Austria
,
they
thought
it
high
time
to
look
about
them
,
so
there
came
Commissioners
extraordinary
from
Holland
to
Paris
,
and
a
Ligue
defensive
and
offensive
was
struck
between
them
to
make
a
social

the
Netherlands

the
King
of

hath
receiv'd
divers
times
from
that
of
Spain
are
so
well
known
to
all
the
world
,
that
it
is
needles
to
renue
their
memory
:
We
have
a
long
time
dissembled
the
hatred
and
naturall
jealousie
the
Spaniards
have
against
France
,
whereby
they
have
alwayes
stopp'd
the
course
of
Our
prosperity
by
secret
practises
,
oppressed
the
Princes
allied
to
this
Crown
,
and
sought
to
dismember
the
Kingdome
;
Therefore
with
those
forces
which
God
hath
given
Us
We
have
resolv'd
to
prevent
their
further
desseins
upon
Us
,
and
rather
to
carry
Our
Armes
within
their
Countrey
,
then
expect
theirs
in
Ours
,
&c.
Then
He
goes
on
to
enumerat
the
obligations
that
Spain
had
to
France
for
making
the
last
truce
with
the
Hollander
,
which
Spain
had
so
much
need
of
at
that
time
;
the
good
Offices
he
had
done
the
Emperour
upon
the
beginning
of
the
troubles
in
Germany
;
so
he
taxes
him
that
the
first
recompence
which
France
receiv'd
was
the
occupation
of
the
Valtolin
from
the
Grisons
the
ancient
Allies
of
France
;
he
complains
further
that
the
Treaty
at
Mouson
was
not
executed
as
it
was
intended
;
He
speaks
of
sundry
enterprises
upon
the
Duke
of
Savoy
while
he
was
Confederat
of
France
,
of
the
violent
oppression
which
the
Duke
of
Mantova
suffer'd
;
How
the
Duke
of
Lorain
arm'd
five
times
against
France
by
the
suscitation
of
the
King
of
Spain
;
How
the
said
King
Treated
with
the
chief
of
them
of
the
Religion
to
form
a
perpetuall
body
of
Rebellion
in
the
bowels
of
France
at
that
time
when
he
promis'd
assistance
against
them
;
How
his
Ambassadors
continually
practised
to
sow
division
between
them
of
the
Royall
Family
;
How
he
assisted
with
men
and
money
those
that
made
rents
and
factions
in
France
;
How
to
bring
about
his
far
fetch'd
designes
for
the
Westerne
Monarchy
,
he
made
Flanders
his
Arcenal
for
Arms
,
not
only
to
subdue
them
whom
he
had
acknowledg'd
free
and
soverain
,
but
to
keep
France
in
perpetuall
jealousie
of
surprisals
by
a
veteran
Army
;
therefore
he
thought
it
more
honorable
to
attain
unto
a
sound
secure
Peace
by
the
generous
strength
of
an
open
war
then
let
his
subjects
drop
away
by
small
numbers
,
and
languish
under
a
doubtfull
and
incertain
Peace
which
must
be
conserv'd
with
150000.
men
.
Then
he
comes
to
speak
of
the
outrage
that
was
done
to
the
Archbishop
of
Triers
,
and
the
jeering
illusory
answer
which
was
return'd
about
his
liberty
;
Then
he
speaks
of
his
most
deer
great
friends
,
Allies
,
and
Confederats
the
States
of
the
united
Provinces
with
whom
he
had
made
a
Ligue
defensive
and
offensive
,
but
with
this
Proviso
,
that
what
Towns
or
places
whatsoever
were
taken
,
the
Catholique
Religion
should
not
be
damnified
,
but
conserv'd
still
in
the
same
condition
;
Then
he
makes
his
addresse
to
the
Flemins
that
if
within
two
moneths
they
cause
the
Spaniards
to
retire
from
their
Towns
and
Provinces
,
they
shall
be
joyn'd
and
united
into
a
body
of
one
free
and
independent
State
,
with
all
rights
of
soveraignty
:
So
he
concluds
with
an
Injunction
to
all
his
subjects
to
make
war
by
sea
and
land
,
night
and
day
against
the
King
of
Spain
a
declar'd
Enemy
to
his
Person
and
state
;
protesting
before
God
and
men
that
as
he
was
reduc'd
to
the
utmost
extremity
to
take
up
arms
for
his
own
defence
,
and
for
his
Allies
and
Anno
1635.
friends
,
so
his
main
end
,
and
only
aime
was
to
procure
an
universall
and
well
grounded
peace
throughout
Christendom
.
Before
this
Declaration
was
divulg'd
a
Herald
of
Arms
was
sent
to
Brussells
where
he
publicly
pronounc'd
war
against
the
King
of
Spain
in
the
Market
place
,
and
so
in
every
Town
at
his
return
to
France
,
and
he
pass'd
to
and
fro
without
any
outrage
at
all
.
The
King
had
five
Royall
Armies
in
motion
this
Sommer
;
the
first
in
Lorain
under
the
Duke
of
Angoulesme
,
&
de
la
Force
;
the
second
under
the
Cardinal
de
la
Valette
in
Germany
,
wherewith
Bernard
Weymer
joyn'd
:
The
third
was
under
the
Duke
of
Crequy
in
Italy
,
wherewith
the
Savoyard
and
Parmasan
joyn'd
:
The
fourth
was
under
the
Duke
of
Rohan
,
wherewith
the
Venetians
and
Grisons
joyn'd
to
conserve
the
Valtolin
:
The
fifth
was
under
the
Marshall
Chastillon
in
Picardy
.
The
first
did
some
exploits
,
against
the
Duke
of
Lorain
,
where
Ihon
deWert
,
Coloredo
,
and
the
Baron
of
Clinchant
took
Saint
Mihel
and
other
places
.
The
second

had

and
divers
Scots

and
having
taken

he
had
a
shrewd
conflict
with

,
where
a
great
many
of
French
Nobles
and
Gentlemen
were
slain
,
so
that
this
Army
made
not
so
good
returns
as
the
first
.
The
third
under
Rohan
thrive
well
,
he
fortified
many
places

and
had

slain
upon
the
place
.
The
fourth
under
Crequy
performed
much
in
Italy
,
divers
places
were
taken
in
the
Countrey
of
Alexandrin
,
but
laying
a
siege
before
Valentia
he
was
forc'd
to
raise
it
.
The
fifth
under
Chastillon
had
the
best
fortune
of
any
,
for
being
to
joyn
with
the
Prince
of

at

he
met

After

the

towards

through
the
Countrey
of
Liege
where
Chastillon
met
with
the
Prince
of

and
Bovillon
,
there
were
high
acclamations
of
joy
at
the
conjunction
of
both
Armies
who
came
to
the
number
specified
in
the
Treaty
,
all

:
Add
hereunto
that
there
was
a
third
Army
of
the
Duke
of
Bovillons
;
In
so
much
that
there
was
never
since
the
beginning
of
the

a
greater
and
more
numerous
body
of

;
but
their
achievements
and
succes
was
not
answerable
to
their
power
,
for
they
took
but
two
mean
Towns
Tillemont
and
Diest
and
the
Castle
of
Dormaet
;
the
first
was
pittifully
pillag'd
,
nor
could
the
French
soldiers
be
kept
within
any
limits

they
did

and
plunder

and

outrages
;
The
Armies
then
march'd
as
far
as
Brussells
,
and
took
prisoners
out
of
the
very
suburbs
,
but
it
was
held
neither
safe
to
sit
down
before
the
place
,
nor
a
thing
feasible
to
take
it
,
the
Cardinal
Infante
being
intrench'd
not
far
off
in
a
very
advantagious
post
;
therefore
the
Armies
came
before
Lovain
,
where
they
presently
began
their
batteries
,
the
Marquis
of
Varennes
with
divers
French
fell
there
and
divers
more
;
They
of
the
Town
made
a
furious
sally
upon
the
English
quarters
,
wherein
Sir
Charles
Morgan
was
hurt
,
and
eighty
more
slain
,
but
in
a
short
space
they
were
repell'd
to
the
Town
with
a
considerable
losse
;
They
made
two
brave
sallies
more
upon
Chastillons
quarters
a
little
after
;
but
the
tenth
day
the
siege
was
rais'd
,
and
the
Town
quite
cleer'd
of
so
vast
an
Army
;
the
reasons
of
the
raising
of
this
siege
were
,
first
,
a
great
necessity
of
provision
;
the
second
the
strength
of
the
enemy
,
for
Piccolomini
was
come
to
Namur
with
a
fresh
Army
;
lastly
,
the
ignorance
they
had
of
the
quality
of
the
place
in
point
of
strength
,
and
her
neernes
to
the
greatest
Towns
in
Brabant
,
as
Antwerp
,
Brussells
,
Malines
,
with
other
.
These
huge
Armies
being
retreated
from
before
Lovain
,
the
nimble
Crabats
did
notably
plague
their
reeres
;
and
carried
away
good
booties
;
Diest
was
also
repris'd
,
and
the
French
Army
being
before
Venlo
news
came
that
the
famous
Sconce
of
Schenk
was
taken
by
the
Spanish
Garrison
of
Gueldres
;
as
also
that
the
Duke
of
Saxe
the
potentest
Prince
of
Germany
,
and
the
Dictator
of
the
Protestants
had
made
his
peace
with
the
Emperour
;
besides
that
Iean
de
Wert
had
invaded
,
and
extremely
ravag'd
Lorain
up
and
down
,
which
made
Chastillon
trusse
up
his
baggage
,
and
leave
Venlo
and
think
upon
homewards
:
Thus
this
formidable
French
Army
melted
away
to
a
small
number
,
nor
could
they
who
were
left
,
know
which
way
to
return
to
France
;
so
most
of
them
were
sent
by
Sea
from
Flushing
and
other
places
;
neverthelesse
had
their
retreat
bin
answerable
to
their
first
entrance
into
the
Netherlands
when
Chastillon
gain'd
such
a
notable
victory
of
Prince
Tomaso
,
they
had
made
a
gallant
Expedition
of
it
;
but
it
was
observ'd
that
after
their
sacriledges
at
Tillemont
the
Wind

there

but
no

During

,
they
took
la
Capelle
,
nor
could
the
strength
the
Count
of
Soissons
had
in
that
Province
withstand
them
;
the
Prince
of
Condé
was
then
beating
the
walls
of
Dole
,
but
having
long
layn
before
the
Town
,
and
having
spent
much
powder
,
and
a
considerable
number
of
men
before
her
,
he
was
forc'd
to
raise
the
siege
,
to
make
head
against
those
fearfull
incursions
the
Imperialists
made
up
and
down
Picardy
;
their
Army
consisted
of
divers
squadrons
of
Germans
,
Polanders
,
and
Crabats
;
Soissons
met
with
the
Pole
,
and
caus'd
him
to
retire

;
where
he
took
breath
,
and
afterwards
came
on

many

They
took
afterwards
Catelet
,
and
push'd
on
their
march
as
far
as
the
River
of
Somme
where
they
seiz'd
on
Bray
,
and
cross'd
the
River
,
took
Royé
with
divers
other
places
:
being
thus
got
into
the
very
bowels
of
Picardy
the
Crabats
had
a
brave
time
of
it
who
subsist
chiefly
by
pillage
,
they
rob

Monasteries
,
and

nor
can
the
opinion
of

exempt
any
thing
from
rapine
;
a
little
after
Corby
rendred
her self
,
and
then
a
generall
summons
was
publish'd
in
the
King
of
Spaines
name
for
all
the
Townes
of
Picardy
to
render
themselfs
,
and
they
should
have
good
quarter
.
This
sudden
inundation
of
so
many
forren
people
,
and
such
monstrous
incursions
,
struck
an
earthquake
into
the
hearts
of
all
men
,
and
Paris
her self
trembled
more
then
any
place
;
many
thousands
of
people
had
fled
thither
from

and
imminent
dangers
;
Nay
,
the
Parisians
themselfs
thinking
their
Town
not
secure
enough
fled
away
in
multitudes
towards
the
Loire
.
This
gave
a
generall
alarm
to
the
whole

,
and
Paris
quak'd

suddenly
rais'd
to
go
towards

:
Monsieur
was
appointed
Generall
,
who
in
his
march
encreas'd
daily
more
and
more
in
great
numbers
,
to
make
head
against
this
formidable
Invasion
,
or
rather
Irruption
.
The
common
people
being
thus
startled
and
scared
,
one
might
hear
up
and
down
both
in
Town
and
Countrey
whole
volleys
of
curses
discharg'd
upon
Richelieu
,
who
was
cryed
up
to
be
the
source
of
all
these
evils
,
because
they
conceiv'd
't
was
by
his
counsell
the
King
had
denounc'd
open
war
against
the
Spaniard
the
yeer
before
;
but
the
strong
reflex
of
Royall
favor
,
and
the
former
good
successes
he
had
,
took
away
much
of
the
gaul
against
him
.
The
Royall
Army
under
Monsieur
,
who
was
accompagnied
with
the
flower
of
all
the
Nobility
of
France
,
and
was
now
neer
upon
forty
thousand
Combatants
,
being
advanc'd
far
into
Picardy
,
the
first
exploit
he
perform'd
was
the
reprisall
of
Royé
by
siege
,
then
he
took
Bretevil
;
but
a
little
before
Iohn
de
Wert
had
given
a
smart
blow
to
the
Count
of
Esfeld
who
had
a
Brigade
of
Germans
,
&
a
good
number
of
French
horse
commanded
by
Gassion
for
the
Kings
service
.
The
Royall
Army
came
before
Corbie
at
last
,
where
a
Leager
was
planted
seven
Leagues
compasse
,
and
the
Town
held
them
good
play
for
divers
moneths
,
whence
the
Spaniards
made
sundry
notable
sallies
.
The
Imperiall
Army
under
Galas
was
now
got
into
Burgundy
,
where
he
took
Mirebeau
,
and
sundry
other
places
which
he
pillag'd
and
burnt
;
in
the
interim
the
Duke
of
Lorain
who
commanded
one
of
the
flying
Armies
had
lai'd
siege
before
Saint
Iohn
de
Lone
,
and
Galas
recruted
him
with
men
,
and
ammunition
,
but
the
place
being
relieved
,
and
it
being
now
neere
the
dead
of
Winter
,
Galas
gave
out
he
had
order
to
return
to
Germany
which
he
did
,
and
so
the
Duke
of
Lorain
rays'd
his
siege
,
and
sent
divers
complaints
to
the
Emperor
against
Galas
his
Generall
,
but
they
came
to
nothing
.
Thus
that
huge
deluge
ceas'd
in
France
,
which
did
such
a
world
of
mischief
that
the
Goths
,
Vandalls
,
or
Saracens
never
did
the
like
for
the
time
,
nor
was
this
the
sole
disaster
that
befell
France
this
yeer
,
for
the
Viceroy
of
Pampelona
took
Saint
Iohn
de
Luz
tother
side
the
Kingdom
;
besides
Mentz
,
Coblens
,
and
Hanaw
were
rendred
to
the
Imperialists
,
in
all
which
much
of
the
Garrisons
were
French
:
I
will

this

was
solemniz'd
in

Louure
,
the
Queen
of
France
,
and
her
Cardinal
were
her
godmother
and
godfather
,
and
she
was
named
Anne
Marie
.
This
yeer
a
more
propitious
Planet
cast
an
influence
upon
France
,
then
fell
upon
her
in
the
former
,
as
will
appear
by
the
succes
of
things
;
We
will
begin
with
the
reprisall
of
the
Isles
of
Lerins
,
call'd
Saint
Margaret
and
Saint
Honorat
:
some
of
the
Provensall
Gentlemen
shew'd
much
Passion
for
the
honor
of
their
Countrey
to
which
those
Islands
belong'd
,
by
divers
proofs
of
valeur
,
and
their
names
were
enroul'd
in
a
public
instrument
which
stands
upon
record
to
posterity
in
the
Court
of
Parlement
;
there
were
mighty
preparatives
made
for
the
said
Expedition
,
and
sundry
persons
of
quality
parted
with
their
bloud
,
and
some
with
their
lifes
in
the
quarrell
;
but
whether
the
benefit
did
countervail
the
vast
charge
of
recovering
two
or
three
small
rocks
it
was
much
question'd
,
yet
the
work
was
done
,
and
it
left
behind
it
an
astonishment
of
the
navall
power
of
France
.
The
King
had
three
Land
Armies
this
Spring
towards
the
Frontiers
of
the
Netherlands
;
the
first
towards
Cambray
commanded
by
the
Duke
de
la
Valette
;
the
second
towards
Artois
whereof
Milleray
was
chief
;
the
third
under
Chastillon
upon
the
Frontiers
of
Champany
and
Luxemburg
:
The
first
took
two
or
three
Castles
by
surprize
,
and
then
sate
before
Landrecy
,
which
after
a
stubborn
siege
was
yeelded
at
last
to
De
la
Valette
,
the
exploit
was
reputed
the
greater
,
because
in
times
pass'd
Charles
the
Emperour
had
lain
before
Landrecy
with
thirty
thousand
foot
,
and
fifteen
thousand
horse
six
moneths
together
,
and
then
was
forc'd
to
steale
away
in
the
night
from
before
the
place
;
After
this
the
Duke
of
Candale
took
Beaumont
;
la
Capelle
was
also
rendred
after
the
brunt
of
a
short
siege
.
But
a
hotter
siege
and
soyle
calls
me
now
to
the
Pyreney
Hills
,
where
the
Spaniards
had
entrench'd
themselfs
strongly
before
Leucate
a
Frontier
town
twixt
Languedoc
and
Cataloma
with
a
resolution
to
carry
it
:
The
Duke
of
Halluin
was
employ'd
upon
this
service
,
assisted
by
the
Archbishop
of
Bourdeaux
;
Of
the
Spaniards
the
Count
of
Serbellon
an
Italian
and
a
great
Captain
was
Commander
in
chief
;
there
happen'd
many
bloudy
,
and
exceeding
hot
skirmiges
betwixt
the
two
Nations
,
but
at
last
the
Spaniard
was
forc'd
to
quit
his
trenches
and
leave
thirty
two
great
Guns
of
all
sorts
behind
him
,
with
the
losse
of
three
thousand
men
;
Amongst
the
dead
bodies
some
women
were
found
habited
like
men
,
which
being
shew'd
the
Spaniards
that
were
taken
prisoners
,
and
ask'd
what
women
they
were
,
they
answer'd
,
Those
poltrons
that
fled
away
were
women
,
not
these
;
with
this
agrees
a
Rodomontado
a
Captain
left
upon
a
wall
,
O
Frenchmen
,
if
you
had
comported
your selfs
in
this
encounter
as
you
have
us'd
to
do
;
and
if
we
had
shew'd
our selfs
such
men
as
the
world
cries
us
up
to
be
,
your
actions
had
bin
ours
,
and
ours
yours
.
The
Spaniards
which
were
taken
prisoners
would
salute
the
French
Gentlemen
by
the
title
of
Senōres
Lutheranos
,
thinking
that
to
be
a
complement
would
please
them
:

The

was
so
well
pleas'd
with
this
service
that
he
conferr'd
honors
upon
divers
of
the
Commanders
,
and
especially
upon

,
to
whom
he
writ
this

Letter
to

Cosen
,
you
have
known
how
to

me
so
well
with
your

,
that
I
send
you
a
Truncheon
;
as
well
for
a

of
the
contentment
which
I
have
receiv'd
,
as
also
that

you
may
make

my
enemies
present
themselfs
in

place
where
you
may
make
them
again
know
your
valour
;
I
never
bestow'd
grace
with
a
better
heart
,
then
I
do
this
,
to
perpetuat
in
your
person
the
name
of
Marshall
of
Schomberg
,
which
having
bin
acceptable
to
me
in
the
person
of
the

,
will
be

of

So
I
pray
God
,
my
Cosen
,
that
he
hold
you
in
his
blessed
guard

Questionles
this
was
a
peece
of
service
of
high
merit
,
and
of
mighty
consequence
to
France
,
for
had
the
Spaniard
nestled
in
Leucato
a
strong
tenable
place
,
they
had
had
a
key
to
enter
presently
into
Languedoc
at
pleasure
:
the
said
young
Duke
of
Halluin
stirr'd
himself
notably
,
and
going
in
the
front
of
his
Troups
alwayes
with
his
naked
sword
had
receiv'd
divers
hurts
;
nor
did
the
Spaniards
who
had
above
twelve
thousand
foot
,
and
two
thousand
horse
,
shew
themselfs
cowards
,
for
notwithstanding
the
Town
pelted
them
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
Royall
Army
on
the
other
which
was
greater
in
number
then
they
,
yet
they
sallied
out
of
their
Trenches
,
and
encountred
them
five
severall
times
.
This
siege
of
Leucato
was
contemporary
with
that
of
Breda
by
the
Hollanders
this
yeer
,
before
which
the
Prince
of
Orenge
lay
so
close
and
secure
,
that
as
the
Cardinal
Infante
could
not
hinder
his
first
intrenchment
,
so
he
could
not
afterwards
oblige
him
to
fight
;
but
having
twenty
thousand
foot
,
and
six
thousand
horse
,
he
struck
into
Gueldres
and
took
Venlo
and
Ruremond
:
So
Breda
was
given
for
lost
,
and
after
three
moneths
siege
she
yeelded
upon
the
same
tearms
that
Spinola
had
given
twelve
yeers
before
;
though
he
lay
five
times
longer
before
the
Town
:
The
Prince
of
Orenge
made
his
entrance
the
ninth
of
September
at
the
same
gate
which
Marquis
Spinola
had
erected
with
this
memorable
Inscription
in
huge
golden

This
yeer
Fortune
began
to
frown
first
upon
the
Spaniard
,
and
where
she
once
fixeth
her
frowns
she
doth
not
suddenly
remove
them
,
but
wrinckles
her
forhead
more
and
more
,
as
will
appear
in
the
subsequent
passages
.
We
will
conclude
this
yeer
with
the
conversion
of
Francis
Cupif
a
Doctor
of
Sorbon
to
the
Reform'd
Religion
;

the

pronounc'd

great
reason
that
the
Apostle
rankes
Heresies
amongst
crimes
,
and
carnall
sins
,
because
we
often
perceive
,
that
by
a
secret
judgement
of
God
,
those
use
to
fall
,
and
tomble
into
them
,
who
swelling
with
the
vanity
and
confidence
of
their
own
sense
,
or
walking
according
to
the
flesh
,
suffer
not
themselfs
to
be
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
nor
beleeve
that
they
are
tied
to
any
rule
,
but
they
tast
nothing
but
what
pleaseth
man
as
he
is
a
sensitive
Animal
:
Whereof
Francis
Cupif
of
Angers
whom
the
Sacred
Faculty
had
nourish'd
before
in
her
bosom
,
and
at
last
unhappily
receiv'd
into
the
number
of
her
Doctors
,
to
the
great
scandall
of
all
good
men
,
and
the
applause
of
the
enemies
of
the
Crosse
of
Christ
,
hath
lately
given
a
horrid
,
and
most
deplorable
example
.
For
according
to
the
honour
that
was
conferr'd
upon
him
in
our
Schoole
,
not
minding
the
law
he
had
receiv'd
from
so
good
a
mother
,
which
might
have
drawn
down
upon
his
head
all
graces
from
God
and
men
,
and
having
quite
forgot
the
oath
which
he
had
made
so
oft
,
and
whereunto
according
to
ancient
institution
all
new
graduats
,
and
all
such
who
are
promoted
to
the
degree
of
Doctorships
are
solemnly
oblig'd
;
He
is
miserably
fallen
from
the
holy
Catholic
Church
,
whereby
he
hath
drawn
upon
himself
the
losse
of
his
soule
before
God
,
shame
and
infamy
before
men
,
and
malediction
from
all
parts
;
This
imprudent
son
is
become
the
grief
and
sadnes
of
his
Mother
,
then
,
when
by
a
perfidious
prevarication
abjuring
the
true
Doctrin
,
he
hath
most
impudently
turn'd
Heretic
,
giving
up
his
name
to
impiety
and
falshood
.
But
whence
can
it
proceed
,
that
he
should
so
easily
fall
into
so
fearfull
a
precipice
,
but
from
the
naturall
presumption
of
his
own
judgement
,
and
from
the
ardor
of
unbridled
pleasure
,
wherewith
they
that
neerly
knew
him
perceiv'd
that
he
incessantly
burnt
?
Whence
it
comes
to
passe
that
being
blinded
,
and
walking
continually
according
to
his
own
covetousnesse
,
having
shaken
off
the
sweet
and
light
yoak
of
Iesus
Christ
,
he
is
become
a
voluntary
slave
to
Heresie
,
which
is
the
height
of
all
sins
.
It
being
therefore
true
,
that
,
as
the
Christian
Emperours
said
,
Whatsoever
is
attempted
against
Divine
Religion
becomes
injurious
to
all
,
with
greater
reason
the
Sacred
Faculty
of
Theologie
hath
beleev'd
that
the
wrong
which
is
done
Iesus
Christ
,
and
to
the
Catholic
faith
by
this
degenerat
child
,
did
concern
her
so
far
as
to
pronounce
a
grave
censure
according
to
the
atrocity
of
the
crime
,
against
such
a
notorious
infamy
,
and
to
separat
him
totally
from
Anno
1637.
Her
,
and
her
noursery
,
though
it
be
nothing
at
all
to
be
fear'd
that
such
Bastard
Plants
will
take
any
deep
roots
.
Cursed
be
thou
degenerat
Child
,
which
goest
on
after
thine
own
counsell
,
not
according
to
mine
,
which
warpest
a
web
,
but
not
by
my
direction
,
which
dost
adde
sin
to
sin
,
which
goest
down
to
Egypt
,
and
to
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
,
and
consultest
not
with
me
,
nor
remembrest
my
precepts
;
Thou
hast
rejected
my
discipline
,
hoping
for
succour
in
the
help
of
Calvin
and
his
followers
,
and
hast
confidence
in
the
shadow
of
Egypt
,
that
is
to
say
,
in
the
conventicle
of
Heretiques
;
but
this
imaginary
strength
shall
become
thy
confusion
,
and
the
confidence
of
this
shadow
,
which
thou
followest
in
despising
the
body
of
the
Orthodoxal
Church
,
shall
turn
to
thy
shame
.
So
an
Anathema
was
pronounc'd
,
and
publiquely
fix'd
up
against
him
.
Duke
Bernard
Weymar
descended
of
the
eldest
House
of
Saxony
Anno
1638.
whose
Ancester
was
outed
of
that
great
Dutchy
,
for
deserting
Rome
by
Charles
the
Emperour
,
had
besides
his
Germanes
a
considerable
Army
of
French
upon
the
Kings
pay
,
who
did
notable
feats
up
and
down
;
he
was
now
lay'd
down
before
Rhinfield
one
of
the
Forest
Towns
(
having
taken
two
of
them
before
)
belonging
to
the
House
of
Austria
,
he
had
after
two
stormings
made
a
breach
in
the
walls
,
when
Iohn
de
Wert
,
the
Duke
of
Savelli
,
and
other
choice
men
appear'd
inexpectedly
with
nine
Regiments
of
horse
,
and
four
thousand
foot
to
raise
the
siege
;
Generall
Sperheucher
was
also
there
,
and
two
companies
of
Crabats
:
There
happen'd
two
furious
fights
betwixt
them
,
in
the
first
de
Wert
had
the
better
by
taking
four
Canons
,
and
three
Cornets
of
horse
,
the
Duke
of
Rohan
was
in
the
field
as
a
Volontier
being
newly
come
from
his
employment
in
the
Valtolin
,
his
horse
was
kill'd
under
him
,
and
he
himself
wounded
in
two
or
three
places
;
the
siege
of
Rhinfield
was
rais'd
for
the
time
,
but
Bernard
Weymar
sought
out
de
Wert
the
next
day
,
and
having
rallied
all
his
forces
and
put
himself
in
battalia
,
there
was
a
gallant
though
bloudy
fight
,
and
victory
flutter'd
a
great
while
with
doubtfull
wings
,
but
at
last
Iohn
de
Wert
himself
,
Duke
Savelli
,
Sperheucher
,
Major
Generall
Enkenfort
,
with
all
the
chief
Commanders
were
taken
prisoners
;
amongst
whom
Iohn
de
Wert
,
and
Enkenfort
were
carried
prisoners
to
France
,
and
committed
to
Bois
de
Vincennes
.
So
Duke
Bernard
Weymar
took
Rhinfield
by
a
second
siege
presently
after
.
The
Duke
of
Rohan
being
carried
with
his
wounds
about
him
to
Swisserland
,
died
of
them
within
a
little
time
,
and
his
body
was
carried
in
great
pomp
to
Geneva
where
he
was
buried
:
a
Duke
of
high
descent
being
prime
Prince
of
the
bloud
of
the
Kingdom
of
Navar
,
whereupon
it
was
said
of
him
,
Rohan

Roy

puis
,
Prince
,
ie

.
Rhoan

He
was
excellently
vers'd
both
in
the
Theory
,
and
Prastic
part
of
War
,
and
other
politicall
knowledge
,
as
appears
by
his
works
,
and
by
his
exploits
in
the
Valtolin
and
els
where
;
Some
there
are
who
brand
him
to
have
bin
a
Pensioner
to
Spain
receiving
fourteen
thousand
crowns
and
his
Brother
Soubize
eight
thousand
from
that
King
for

yeers
,
to
puzzle
France
with
intestin
broyles
:
He
died
without
male
issue
,
and
so
that
bloud-royal
Duchy
of
Navar
extinguish'd
.
There
were
hot
doings
now
in
Italy
,
one
of
the
grounds
of
the
quarrell
was
'twixt
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
the
Duke
of
Parma
;
The
Spaniard
alledg'd
that
by
capitulations
with
the
former
Dukes
,
he
was
upon
occasion
of
war
to
have
the
Town
of
Placentia
for
his
use
to
put
men
and
ammunition
in
during
the
war
;
The
Duke
disadvowed
any
such
obligation
,
and
was
abetted
by
France
and
Savoy
in
the
quarrell
:
Victor
Amadée
Duke
of
Savoy
who
had
married
the
second
daughter
of
France
being
dead
the
yeer
before
,
and
the
Count
of
Veriie
his
Generall
,
the
Duke
of
Crequy
came
to
be
Commander
in
chief
,
and
going
to
releeve
Breme
which
the
Marquis
of
Leganez
Governor
of
Milan
had
closely
begirt
,
Crequy
as
he
was
surveying
the
enemies
trench
,
and
vaunting
that
he
would
convey
succour
to
the
Town
over
the
Spaniards
mustachos
,
he
was
cut
in
the
middle
by
a
Cannon
bullet
,
and
so
shatterred
to
peeces
,
and
the
crosse
he
wore
upon
his
brest
was
shot
into
his
flesh
,
so
Breme
rendred
her self
.
This
Marshall
Crequy
was
a
brave
man
both
for
command
and
personall
valour
,
having
fairly
kill'd
in
duel
one
of
the
bastard
sons
of
Savoy
in
sight
of
two
Armies
some
yeers
before
;
there
was
a
Latin
Epitaph
written
upon
him
,
which
in
respect
of
the
pertinent
apposit
words
,
and
the
gallantry
of
the
style
I
think
worthy
to
have
room
in
this
story
,
for
I
have
not
met
with
a
better
.

Verselli
,
which
notwithstanding
it
was
once
succour'd
by
the
French
was
rendred
him
upon
the

termes
that
Don
Pedro
de
Toledo
had
given
the
very
same
moneth
when
she
was
taken
in
the
yeer
1625.
France
had
better
fortune
this
yeer
by
repelling
the
invading
forces
of
Spain
,
then
by
entring
her
confines
another
way
for
revenge
:
We
made
mention
a
little
before
how
bravely
Leucato
was
preserv'd
,
and
to
cry
quittance
with
the
Spaniard
,
the
Prince
of

had
a
vast
high
Commission

be
the
Kings
Lieutenant
General

Provinces
of

,

,

,
Bern
,

power

make

he
would

Anno

mount
a
horseback
for
the
war
,
as
also
the
Cominalty
,
to
forme
the
body
of
an
Army
to
invade
the
territories
of
Spain
;
so
he
pitch'd
upon
Fontarabia
;
he
took
Iroon
,
and
Ouyarson
,
Berha
,
with
other
small
places
of
advenues
in
the
way
,
and
so
he
sate
before
the
Town
where
the
Pioner
put
presently
spade
in
earth
for
a
circumvallation
.
The
Archbishop
of
Bourdeaux
came
with
a
mighty
Fleet
by
Sea
to
second
this
enterprise
,
and
the
siege
having
lasted
above
threescore
dayes
,
he
offer'd
with
his
rondaches
,
and
by
an
assault
Seaward
to
carry
the
Town
;
Hereupon
a
Counsell
of

call'd

the
Duke

who
was
Lieutenant

spoak
very
gallantly
that

bin

Actors

thitherto
,
that
he
had
made
a

walls
,
after
the
springing
of
two
mines
,
and
done
other
things
towards
the
straightning
of

place

it
was
not
consonant

agreeable
to

and
honor
,
that
another
,
now
that
the
work
was
almost
brought
to
perfection
,
should
have
the
glory
of
their
dangers
,
sufferings
,
and
labours
;
This
clash
'twixt
the
Archbishop
,
and
the
Duke
de
la
Valette
,
to
whom
Condé
adhaer'd
prov'd
to
be
the
ruine
of
this
great
Expedition
;
for
while
they
were
debating
the
businesse
after
the
breach
was
made
for
a
generall
assault
,
the
Spaniards
came
tumbling
down
the
Hills
and
appeard
to
be
more
numerous
far
then
they
really
were
,
so
after
a
great
slaughter
on
both
sides
,
but
more
of
the
French
whereof
divers
were
thrust
into
the
Sea
,
the
siege
was
rais'd
;
and
one
may
say
,
The
Town
was
lost
,
for
not
offring
to
take
it
;
if
they
had
presently
poursued
the
breach
.
Amongst
divers
errors
which
were
committed
in
this
action
,
besides
the
weaknesse
of
their
entrenchments
,
two
were
the
quitting
of
Passage
,
without
which
the
enemies
would
not
have
bin
able
to
draw
provision
for
their
subsistence
from
Saint
Sebastian
;
then
the
not
erecting
of
a
work
upon
the
mountain
of
Gadaloupe
which
was
neer
the
Town
,
and
whence
the
Spaniard
descended
first
;
The
French
Army
retyring
to
the
frontiers
staid
some
dayes
at
Iroon
,
expecting
the
enemy
should
poursue
them
,
which
he
did
not
;
whereby
they
inferr'd
that
he
was
not
so
strong
as
they
took
him
to
be
,
and
so
he
was
willing
to
make
them
a
bridge
of
sylver
;
thus
this
Invasion
came
to
nothing
,
which
made
the
Spaniard
geer
them
afterwards
,
saying
,
They
had
in
this
attempt
discover'd
the
true
nature
of
the
French
,
viz.
to
enter
like
thunder
,
and
vanish
like
smoak
.
De
la
Valette
being
come
to
Bourdeaux
to
the
old
Duke
his
Father
,
after
he
had
receiv'd
relation
how
matters
had
gone
,
and
what
traverses
there
pass'd
'twixt
him
,
and
Condé
and
the
Archbishop
,
advis'd
him
to
get
away
as
soon
as
he
could
to
England
,
which
he
did
;
and
't
was
time
for
him
,
for
afterwards
his
Proces
was
fram'd
in
Paris
,
and
he
was
executed
in
Effigie
;
so
by
this
act
of
Justice
the
publique
dishonour
which
seem'd
to
reflect
upon
France
in
generall
,
was
restrain'd
to
his
person
;
Nor
is
it
a
new
thing
to
sacrifice
Commanders
to
such
uses
:
Besides
the
Duke
of
Espernon
being
now
an
hundred
yeers
of
age
and
odd
moneths
,
and
Anno
1637.
having
continued
above
forty
yeers
Governour
of
Gascony
was
outed
of
his
Office
,
and
commanded
to
retire
to
Plassac
;
where
he
died
some
moneths
after
,
but
before
his
death
he
had
these
severall
disasters
befell
him
within
the
revolution
of
one
yeer
;
his
eldest
son
the
Duke
of
Candale
fell
in
Italy
,
the
Cardinall
his
brother
died
in
Savoy
,
his
third
son
was
in
banishment
in
England
,
and
he
himself
dismiss'd
of
all
command
,
and
depriv'd
of
this
life
.
The
judgements
of
men
were
very
discrepant
touching
the
carriage
of
the
busines
of
Fontarabia
,
the
major
part
imputed
the
fault
to
the
Prince
of
Condé
and
the
Archbishop
who
was
a
creature
of
the
Cardinals
;
For
the
first
,
he
was
content
his
son
the
Duke
of
Anguien
should
marry
the
Cardinals
Neece
a
little
after
,
which
was
done
,
as
some
gave
out
,
of
purpose
for
preventing
of
being
question'd
,
and
so
clap'd
in
the
Bastile
;
For
the
second
,
there
was
alwayes
ill
bloud
'twixt
him
and
the
Duke
of
Espernon
;
A
Gentleman
related
unto
me
one
facetious
passage
that
happen'd
'twixt
them
:
The
Archbishop
was
to
go
upon
an
Expedition
to
Sea
,
and
the
Duke
giving
him
a
visit
at
Bourdeaux
,
the
Archbishop
sent
two
Gentlemen
to
attend
him
,
and
to
desire
him
to
entertain
himself
a
little
,
for
he
was
dispatching
some
Commanders
and
Officers
that
were
to
go
instantly
to
Sea
;
The
Duke
(
for
a
little
pot
is
soon
heated
)
took
this
in
disdain
(
as
he
had
reason
being
Governour
in
chief
of
the
Countrey
)
and
went
suddenly
away
to
his
House
Cadillac
five
leagues
above
Bourdeaux
;
The
next
morning
the
Archbishop
went
to
pay
him
his
visit
,
and
the
Duke
being
told
he
was
there
,
he
sent
two
of
his
Gentlemen
to
desire
his
Reverence
to
have
patience
a
while
,
in
regard
he
was
newly
entred
into
a
Chapter
of
Saint
Augustines
De
Civitate
Dei
,
and
he
would
waite
upon
him
as
soon
as
he
had
done
.
The
King
besides
this
under
Condé
,
had
divers
other
Armies
abroad
about
this
time
.
One
in
Picardy
under
Chastillon
,
who
pass'd
the
Some
and
entring
Arthois
,
took
all
the
Advenues
towards
Saint
Omer
,
(
old
Hesdin
having
bin
pillag'd
and
burnt
before
)
and
at
last
sate
before
the
place
;
two
thousand
soldiers
,
and
nine
hundred
peasans
were
perpetually
at
work
for
a
circumvallation
;
Marshall
de
la
Force
came
with
a
considerable
Army
to
joyn
with
Chastillon
;
but
a
little
before
Prince
Tomaso
had
defeated
two
French
Regiments
,
and
Piccolomini
came
afterwards
to
second
him
;
so
there
were
very
hot
services
perform'd
on
both
sides
,
at
last
the
Spaniards
having
reliev'd
the
Town
by
taking
the
Fort
of
Bac
,
by
which
advantage
they
might
cast
in
what
strength
they
would
,
the
French
forsook
their
works
,
and
so
rais'd
a
costly
siege
;
and
march'd
towards
Renti
which
they
took
not
without
sweat
and
bloud
,
and
after
that
Carelet
,
the
one
was
quite
demolish'd
,
the
other
better
fortified
.
The
Duke
of
Longueville
was
now
for
the
King
in
the
Franche
Conté
,
where
there
happen'd
divers
encounters
'twixt
the
Duke
of
Lorain
and
him
,
and
many
places
taken
and
succour'd
by
both
parties
.
To
these
land
Exploits
we
will
add
a
sea
combat
which
was
fought
Anno
1638.
before
Gattary
this
yeer
'twixt
the
Spanish
Galeons
,
and
the
French
Fleet
commanded
by
the
Archbishop
of
Bourdeaux
,
where
divers
of
the
Spanish
Galeons
were
taken
,
as
also
another
fight
'twixt
the
Gallies
of
Marseilles
,
and
those
of
Spain
neer
Genoa
,
in
both
which
Neptun
threw
his
trident
in
favour
of
France
.
Prince
Casimir
the
King
of
Polands
brother
passing
to
Spain
to
be
Viceroy
of
Portugall
,
was
stop'd
about
Marseilles
,
and
made
prisoner
;
because
he
went
disguis'd
,
as
also
because
he
had
rais'd
troupes
of
Crabats
for
the
service
of
the
king
of
Spain
.
There
came
also
to
Paris
,
Zaga
Christos
the
youngest
son
of
Iacob
Emperour
of
Aethiopia
or
the
Hahissins
,
whose
hard
fate
after
a
long
civill
War
was
to
be
kill'd
in
the
Plaines
of
Guera
,
by
one
Susneos
a
Rebell
,
who
rendred
himself
afterwards
Emperour
.
Iacobs
three
sons
were
forc'd
to
fly
,
and
this
being
the
youngest
after
many
hazardous
wandrings
,
and
accidents
arriv'd
at
last
in
Italy
,
and
thence
he
came
to
Paris
where
he
was
entertain'd
in
the
quality
of
a
Prince
.
France
was
at
a
high
cumble
of
felicity
at
this
time
,
and
to
augment
it
the
more
,
the
Queen
was
brought
to
bed
of
a
Prince
who
made
the
seventeenth
Dauphin
of
France
since
the
first
,
she
had
a
speedy
delivery
at
Saint
Germain
de
lay
the
fifth
of
September
,
the
same
moneth
his
father
was
born
,
whither
divers
reliques
had
been
brought
her
,
amongst
others
our
Ladies
girdle
of
Puy
,
which
she
wore
during
her
throngs
.
The
King
was
at
dinner
when
newes
was
brought
him
,
and
so
he
went
suddenly
to
the
Queens
chamber
where
amongst
the
Ladies
he
found
Monsieur
his
brother
,
and
he
had
good
reason
to
be
there
to
see
what
was
brought
into
the
world
.
This
was
one
of
the
rarest
passages
,
of
this
kind
,
that
ever
happen'd
in
France
,
or
any
other
part
of
the
world
,
it
being
little
lesse
then
a
miracle
,
that
a
young
King
and
Queen
should
bed
so
long
together
and
not
have
any
issue
till
the
twenty
third
yeer
of
their
cohabitation
and
concumbence
,
for
so
long
was
this
Dauphin
a
getting
.
One
may
easily
imagine
what
triumphings
and
publique
acclamations
of
joy
were
up
and
down
France
for
this
so
long
expected
Royal
Off-spring
;
nor
was
this
gladnes
bounded
there
but
it
dispers'd
it self
up
and
down
all
places
of
Christendom
(
that
were
friends
to
France
)
and
struck
a
kind
of
wonderment
into
the
world
.
In
Rome
there
were
divers
inventions
,
and
curiosities
found
out
to
expresse
a
congratulation
.

the

of

had

,
and
the

had
a

borne
within
the

:
The
siege
before
Brisac
,
whereof
we
spake
before
,
grew
more
and
more
stubburn
,
in
so
much
that
the
Town
began
now
to
think
of
making
her
last
Will
and
Testament
,
and
so
bequeath'd
her self
into
the
hands
of
Bernard
Weymar
,
who
besides
Dutch
,
English
,
Sweds
,
and
Scotch
had
an
Army
of
10000.

under
his
command
;
The

the

,
otherwise

There
were
135.
Peeces
taken
in
the
Town
and
Castle
,
with
very
much
Treasure
;
After
she
was
taken
there
happend
an
ilfavor'd
travers
twixt
the
Duke
and
the
King
,
who
would
have
put
a
French
Governour
into
the
Town
;
it
went
so
far
that
the
French
Army
made
towards
the
Duke
and
his
Germans
with
others
who
discharg'd
upon
them
,
and
divers
were
kill'd
on
both
sides
;
but
the
French
fury
was
appeas'd
,
and
matters
were
suddenly
aton'd
;
so
a
mix'd
Garrison
was
put
into
the
Town
,
and
Duke
Bernard
plac'd
the
Governor
;
This
was
one
of
the
straightest
sieges
that
happen'd
since
the
German
war
,
for
people
were
reduc'd
to
that
extremity
that
they
began
to
feed
upon
nefandous
meats
;
Duke
Bernard
Weymar
made
it
his
best
retreat
,
and
chiefest
Randevow
afterwards
,
but
he
enjoyed
it
not
long
,
for
a
few
moneths
after
he
fell
sick
of
the
Purples
(
some
say
the
Plague
)
and
so
left
the
society
of
mortals
;
so
that
now

have

chief
sway
,
a
mighty
advantage
,
for
the
situation
of
this
Town
is
such
that
France
may
say
she
hath
now
a
key
to
enter
Germany
that
way
at
pleasure
,
as
she
hath
Pignerol
for
Italy
.
Duke
Weymar
being
dead
the
Imperialists
made
this
Epitaph
upon
him
.
Here
lies
He
who
preferr'd
French
before
Germans
,
War
before
Peace
,
a
King
before
an
Emperour
,
and
Strangers
before
his
own
Countreymen
.
This
yeer
France
had
also
divers
irons
in
the
fire
which
she
did
so
beat
that
the
sparkles
flew
a
great
way
abroad
and
did
much
mischief
:
Hesdin
was
closely
besieg'd
,
so
that
when
the
Infante
Cardinal
came
to
relieve
her
she
was
pass'd
cure
;
The
King
himself
advanc'd
as
far
as
Abbeville
in
Person
,
and
thence
to
his
Army
before
Hesdin
,
which
struck
a
greater
terror
into
the
Town
,
and
made
her
come
sooner
to
a
Composition
,
which
she
obtaind
upon
Honorable
termes
;
the
King
himself
entred
,
and
having
secur'd
all
things
he
return'd
to
Paris
in
triumph
.
Yet
he
had
some
water
thrown
into
his
wine
before
Theonville
in
Luxemburg
,
from
before
which
,
his
Army
was
beaten
by
Piccolomini
and
Bec
,
with
a
great
slaughter
.
The
glasse
of
the
Ligue
with
the
Swed
being
now
almost
run
out
,
it
was
thought
fit
to
turn
it
and
make
it
last
foure
yeers
longer
'twixt
France
and
Him
with
other
German
Confederats
,
which
was
negotiated
at
Colmar
,
where
the
French
Ambassador
thrust
in
a
new
Epithet
into
the
Treaty
to
aggrandize
his
Master
,
viz.
Praepotens
.
Whereupon
Bernard
Weymer
being
dead
the
Duke
of
Longueville
was
made
Generall
of
all
the
French
forces
in
Germany
.
There
was
a
lowd
tumult
happend
in
Low
Normandy
this
yeer
amongst
the
Populasse
,
for
new
impositions
that
were
daily
thrust
upon
them
;
the
Insurrection
crept
up
to
High
Normandy
,
and
to
Roven
her self
,
nor
did
the
Parlement
which
is
there
alwayes
sedentary
much
labour
to
suppresse
it
;
but
divers
Gentlemen
and
persons
of
the
best
ranke
did
seem
to
countenance
it
;
In
so
much
that
Colonel
Gassion
was
forc'd
to
come
from
Picardy
with
a
considerable
Army
of
horse
and
foot
for
the
suppression
thereof
;
so
he
enterd
the
Province
,
where
his
soldiers
did
much
mischief
upon
the
people
,
and
coming
to
Roven
the
gates
flew
open
to
him
without
resistance
;
so
the
King
sent
thither
his
Chancellor
,
who
caus'd
all
the
Citizens
to
be
disarm'd
,
the
chiefest
instruments
of
the
Mutiny
to
be
imprison'd
,
their
Proces
form'd
,
wherby
many
of
them
were
executed
,
amongst
others
,
the
ringleader
of
the
populas
who
was
a
man
of
mean
condition
who
alledg'd
himself
to
be
mad
,
but
that
subterfuge
would
not
serve
his
turn
;
besides
,
he
annull'd
the
Parlement
and
amerc'd
the
Town
in
one
hundred
thousand
Franks
,
which
was
paid
accordingly
;
and
the
Gentry
that
had
a
hand
in
this
popular

to

the
reason
is
,
that
that
great
Monark

,
was
cut
off
from
amongst
mortals
,
which
will
enforce
us
accordingly
to
cut
off
the
thread
of
our
story
.
In
Brisac
and
other
parts
of
Alsatia
there
were
some
incongruities
,
and
clowds
of
diffidence
hung
between
the
Germans
and
the
French
;
The
young
Prince
Palatine
was
going
thither
through
France
disguis'd
,
hoping
to
have
better
fortune
that
way
,
then
he
had
in
Westphalia
not
long
before
where
Prince
Robert
his
brother
was
taken
prisoner
and
carried
to
Vienna
,
with
the
Lord
Craven
;
He
was
furnish'd
from
England
with
credit
for
considerable
sums
of
money
at
Basile
,
but
being
advanc'd
a
good
way
beyond
Paris
in
his
journey
,
he
was
discover'd
,
restrain'd
a
while
at
Moulins
,
and
then
sent
for
to
Paris
,
whence
he
was
committed
to
Bois
de
Viniennes
.
The
French
fear'd
that
he
might
puzzle
their
proceedings
in
Brisac
,
and
that
being
a
German
Prince
and
supported
by
his
Majesty
of
Great
Britain
the
Town
would
choose
him
for
Governor
:
upon
these
apprehensions
he
was
a
while
kept
prisoner
;
but
afterwards
,
by
the
intercession
of
the
Queen
of
England
chiefly
(
as
his
brother
was
releas'd
by
good
offices
the
Empresse
did
who
to
this
day
doth
much
respect
the
English
Nation
)
he
was
freed
and
receiv'd
very
Princely
entertainment
afterwards
;
At
his
departure
the
King
gave
him
a
very
obliging
farewell
,
by
telling
him
,
That
whereas
it
pleased
God
and
Nature
to
place
him
to
be
Umpire
of
this
part
of
the
World
,
he
would
not
suffer
him
to
be
oppressed
by
any
,
but
he
would
endevour
,
to
reinvest
him
at
last
in
his
own
Territories
,
assuring
him
that
no
peace
should
be
concluded
'twixt
him
and
the
House
of
Austria
,
unlesse
he
were
included
.
Fortune

ever
;
A
fearfull
combustion
happen'd
'twixt
the
Pyreney
Hills
in
the
Kingdom
of
Catalonia
(
of
old
but
a
County
)
,
this
combustion
was
a
kind
of
a
bonefire
to
France
,
who
presently
ran
to
warme
her
hands
and
sport
about
it
,
and
she
hath
ministred
fuel
to
keep
it
in
ever
since
;
It
grew
so
furious
that
the
Viceroy
with
his
wife
,
and
some
of
his
family
were
murtherd
,
and
his
house
burnt
to
the
ground
by
the
violence
of
a
popular
fury
.
The
ground
of
this
fearfull
Insurrection
was
the
billeting
of
the
Castillian
soldiers
,
and
their
insolencies
,
as
they
march'd
through
the
Countrey
;
besides
some
extraordinary
contributions
which
were
demanded
of
that
Province
for
the
support
of
the
King
now
in
his
extreme
necessities
having
so
many
profess'd
mighty
enemies
both
by
sea
and
land
:
this
Tumult
by
degrees
turn'd
to
an
absolut
revolt
and
defection
from
their
Soverain
naturall
King
;
In
so
much
that
they
flew
to
France
and
cri'd
out
for
the
Duke
of
Anjou
;
the
French
quickly
hearkens
unto
them
,
so
there
was
a
Treaty
at
Narbona
,
whither
they
sent
twelve
persons
of
quality
for
hostages
,
and
an
Order
issued
out
that
he
should
be
branded
with
a
hot
iron
who
spake
of
any
accommodation
with
Castile
;
It
was
agreed
upon
,
that
upon
putting
themselfs
under
the
Royall
protection
of
the
most
Christian
King
,
he
should
furnish
them
with
an
Army
of
six
thousand
foot
,
and
two
thousand
horse
,
to
be
maintain'd
by
the
Catalans
:
Whereupon
three
Commissioners
were
sent
to
Paris
,
one
for
the
Clergy
,
another
for
the
Nobility
,
and
a
third
for
the
Gentry
and
Cominalty
.
They
who
were
most
busy
herein
,
and
indeed
the
chiefest
bellowes
that
blew
this
terrible
fire
were
the
Preaching
Fryers
and
Monks
,
who
in
lieu
of
obedience
and
conformity
to
Government
,
and
compliance
with
the
necessities
of
the
King
having
so
many
irons
in
the
fire
,
did
teach
and
obtrude
to
the
people
nothing
more
then
common
priviledge
,
and
resumption
of
liberty
,
whereby
the
affection
of
the
vassall
was
imbitter'd
,
and
at
last
quite
poyson'd
against
his
Prince
;
whence
this
Aphorisme
may
be
collected
,
That
the
best
Instruments
misapplied
do
greatest
mischief
,
and
prove
most
dangerous
to
any
State
;
And
as
of
the
sweetest
wines
is
made
the
sharpest
Vineger
,
so
Churchmen
,
who
by
their
holy
function
and
white
robes
of
innocence
should
be
the
sweetest
of
all
professions
,
who
should
breath
nothing
,
but
peace
,
unity
,
allegeance
and
love
,
if
they
misapply
their
talent
,
and
abandon
themselfs
to
the
spirit
of
faction
,
they
become
the
bitterest
enemies
,
the
most
corroding
cankers
,
and
worst
vipers
in
any
Common-wealth
,
and
most
pernicious
to
the
Prince
;
In
regard
that
they
having
the
sway
ore
the
conscience
which
is
the
Rudder
that
steers
the
actions
,
words
and
thoughts
of
the
rationall
creature
,
they
transport
and
snatch
it
away
whither
they
will
;
making
the
Beast
with
many
heads
conceive
according
to
the
colour
of
those
rods
they
use
to
cast
before
them
.
The
French
having
thus
undertaken
the
protection
of
the
revolted
Catalan
,
and
cut
the
Spaniard
work
enough
that
way
,
he
did
miracles
against
him
about
this
time
in
the
Netherlands
,
for
he
made
the
Rat
to
eat
the
Cat
,
and
a
Cow
to
spin
out
a
bundle
of
Flax
,
by
rendring
himself
Master
of
Arras
,
the
chiefest
Town
of
the
Province
of
Artois
after
a
strong
stubborn
siege
;
which
place
the
Flemins
held
to
be
inpregnable
and
as
impossible
to
take
,
as
it
was
for
the
Rat
and
the
Cow
to
do
what
was
above
said
.
His
Generall
also
in
Italy
the
Count
of
Harcour
,
did
do
strange
exploits
,
who
having
entred
Piemont
was
besieg'd
by
the
Spaniard
in

,
but

,
and
a
few
foot
,
who
were
nothing
equall
in
number
to
the
Spaniards
who
were
thrice
as
many
:
This
ventrous
achievement
,
which
some
interpreted
rashnes
rather
then
true
valor
,
got
him
a
mighty
reputation
;
Then
he
marcheth
to
Turin
,
and
besiegeth
it
,
but
the
gates
were
open'd
to
him
within
a
short
time
,
so
he
made
a
glorious
entrance
into
the
Town
,
and
returns
triumphantly
ore
the
Hills
to
France
,
having
setled
the
King
his
Master
in
the
protection
of
the
Infant
Duke
of
Savoy
his
Nephew
,
which
protection
or
tutele
,
the
Emperour
,
seconded
by
the
Spaniard
,
alledg'd
did
belong
to
him
by
Imperial
right
during
his
minority
.
There
came
a
Messenger
of
State
to
Paris
who
brought
notice
of
the
Great
Turks
death
,
in
the
flower
of
his
youth
though
of
a
robust
huge
constitution
;
He
died
by
excesse
of
drinking
some
sorts
of
wine
,
wherewith
he
was
us'd
to
be
oft
distemper'd
,
notwithstanding
the
strict
law
of
Mahomet
,
who
us'd
to
preach
this
Doctrine
,
That
there
was
a
Devill
in
every
berry
of
the
grape
,
and
therefore
absolutly
interdicted
the
use
of
wine
in
his
Alchoran
:
But
such
is
the
power
of
sensuall
appetit
in
man
,
that
the
spirit
oftentimes
is
too
weake
to
resist
the
motion
of
sense
,
though
the
conscience
should
dictat
,
that
Hell
it self
stands
gaping
for
him
in
the
very
fruition
of
the
pleasure
.
The
genius
of
this
great
Potentat
is
very
remarkable
for
when
he
came
first
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
that
mighty
Empire
,
he
was
of
a
mild
,
gentle
,
and
peacefull
nature
,
but
the
Janizaries
(
who
may
in
time
prove
the
bane
of
that
Tyranicall
Monarchy
)
having
violently
cut
off
many
of
his
great
Officers
,
and
committed
other
acts
of
high
insolencies
whereat
he
had
conniv'd
,
and
looked
on
as
a
sufferer
a
great
while
;
at
last
patience
so
often
abus'd
,
and
stretch'd
as
it
were
upon
the
Tenter
,
turn'd
to
fury
in
him
,
and
that
in
so
high
a
degree
that
it
came
to
alter
and
quite
change
his
disposition
,
and
the
very
instinct
of
nature
in
him
,
for
of
a
soft
,
easie
and
candid
humour
,
he
became
afterwards
,
having
bin
so
often
provok'd
by
such
bloudy
spectacles
,
as
cruell
and
sanguinary
,
as
any
that
ever
sway'd
the
Ottoman
Empire
:
And
he
order'd
matters
so
,
that
he
found
an
opportunity
to
be
reveng'd
of
all
those
that
had
affronted
him
before
,
and
bereft
him
of
his
Favourits
and
Officers
;
He
commonly
carried
with
him
(
a
Ghelad
)
an
Executioner
,
who
at
his
sudden
beck
,
and
in
his
sight
took
off
many
heads
to
offer
up
as
Victimes
for
the
lifes
of
his
slain
servants
;
He
grew
to
be
so
flesh'd
in
bloud
,
that
he
was
scarce
capable
of
any
compassion
,
or
appre
hension
of
fear
,
notwithstanding
that
his
predecessor
had
been
hacked
to
peeces
not
long
before
by
one
of
his

meanest
soldiers
,
for
attempting
to
remove
his
Court
from
Constantinople
t'other
side
the
Hellespont
to
Damasco
,
to
be
reveng'd
of
his
cowardly
Janizaries
,
who
would
not
fight
the
yeer
before
against
the
Pole
;
as
also
of
the
Constantinopolitans
for
refusing
to
furnish
him
with
moneys
for
that
war
;
Hence
may
be
drawn
this
Caution
;
That
Princes
natures
are
ticklish
things
to
be
tamper'd
withall
,
that
it
is
dangerous
to
trench
too
far
upon
the
softnesse
of
their
dispositions
,
as
appears
in
this
Monark
,
who
by
often
irritations
fell
from
one
extreme
to
another
.
The
horrid
flames
(
we
spake
of
before
)
which
were
kindled
amongst
those
fiery
Mountains
(
the
Pyreneys
)
in
Catalonia
,
(
the
chiefest
part
of
Hispania
Tarraconensis
,
according
to
the
old
division
)
did
rage
with
such
fury
,
that
the
sparkles
of
them
by
a
strong
East-wind
were
caried
into
Portugall
,
of
old
(
Hispania
Lusitanica
:
)
And
as
one
torch
lights
another
,
or
any
other
thing
whose
matter
is
combustible
and
apt
to
take
,
so
this
other
Revolt
was
kindled
by
the
first
;
and
Portugall
was
very
well
prepar'd
to
receive
it
,
as
well
for
the
aversnes
,
and
strong
disaffection
her
Inhabitants
have
to
the
Castillan
;
(
for
I
have
heard
them
complain
often
that
the
greatest
misery
which
could
befall
them
,
was
,
to
lose
their
King
Don
Sebastian
,
and
to
fall
under
the
yoak
of
the
Castillan
)
as
also
for
divers
other
causes
;
First
,
she
complain'd
that
the
King
neglected
to
protect
her
against
the
Hollander
in
Brasil
where
he
had
taken
Fernanbuck
her
chief
staple
of
Sugars
;
she
urg'd
also
enhancement
of
toll
,
new
exactions
,
and
other
pressures
;
lastly
,
she
complain'd
of
strangers
to
be
her
Viceroys
,
as
Casimir
the
King
of
Polands
brother
was
intended
for
her
,
had
he
not
bin
intercepted
in
France
;
In
so
much
that
it
was
easie
for
Spain
to
have
bin
a
Prophetesse
of
this
defection
;
therefore
her
wonted
policy
and
foresight
was
much
questioned
,
that
she
did
not
put
out
of
the
way
,
and
engage
in
some
forren
employment
the
Duke
of
Bragansa
who
was
us'd
to
be
perpetually
almost
at
Madrid
.
When
the
King
of
Spain
told
Olivares
of
this
revolt
,
and
that
there
was
a
new
King
proclaim'd
,
the
Favorit
slighted
it
,
saying
,
Es
Rey
de
havas
,
Sir
,
he
is
but
a
bean
or
twelfnight
King
;
but
we
find
now
he
was
far
out
of
his
account
.
Never
was
there
a
generall
Revolt
perfected
in
so
short
a
compasse
of
time
,
for
within
lesse
then
a
moneth
Don
Iohn
of
Bragansa
was
so
settled
in
the
Kingdomes
of
Portugall
,
and
the
Algarves
,
without
any
opposition
at
all
or
marke
of
strangenes
,
as
if
he
had
bin
King
thereof
twenty
yeers
together
before
.
The
King
of
Spain
writ
a
Letter
to
Bragansa
(
now
King
)
to
this
effect
.
Duke
my
Cosen
;
some
odd
newes
are
brought
me
which
I
esteem
folly
,
considering
the
proof
I
have
had
of
the
fidelitie
of
your
House
;
Give
me
advertisement
accordingly
,
because
I
ought
to
expect
it
from
you
;
Do
not
draw
a
trouble
upon
your self
,
and
hazard
not
the
esteem
I
make
of
your
life
to
the
fury
of
a
mutinous
rabble
:
but
let
your
wisdom
comport
you
so
,
that
your
person
may
escape
the
danger
;
My
counsell
will
advise
you
further
:
So
God

keep
you
.
Your
Cosen
and
King
.
To
which
Letter
this
answer
was
return'd
.
My
Cosen
,
my
Kingdom
desiring
its
naturall
King
,
and
my
subjects
being
oppressed
with
gabells
,
and
new
impositions
,
have
executed
without
contradiction
that
which
they
had
oft
times
attempted
,
by
giving
me
the
possession
of
a
Kingdom
which
appertains
unto
me
:
Wherefore
if
any
will
go
about
to
take
it
from
me
,
I
will
seek
justice
in
my

,
defence
being
permitted

God
preserve
your
Majesty

Don
Iohn
the
Fourth
,
King
of
Portugall
.
This
put
the
King
of
Spain
at
such
a
stand
,
having
on
both
sides
of
him
two
sorts
of
subjects
not
onely
risen
up
,
but
quite
cut
off
from
him
,
that
,
as
the
Proverb
runs
in
that
Countrey
,
he
could
not
tell
what
wood
to
make
his
shafts
of
,
nor
could
Olivares
(
which
was
held
such
a
Santon
)
know
what
Bead
to
pray
upon
,
or
what
Saint
to
addresse
himself
unto
.
And
certainly
these
were
two
mighty
shocks
to
the
Spanish
Monarchy
,
nor
could
they
happen
in
a
time
more
disadvantagious
,
she
having
so
many
engagements
abroad
,
and
having
met
with
such
ilfavor'd
rancounters
by
Land
and
Sea
of
late
yeers
.
It
is
also
considerable
that
this
check
at
home
befell
her
after
well-neer
an
Age
of
a
profound
unshaken
peace
,
and
desuetude
of
armes
in
Spain
her self
where
civil
war
hath
bin
so
great
a
stranger
,
notwithstanding
that
she
still
bred
soldiers
abroad
,
and
found
means
to
embroyle
the
world
alwayes
in
some
place
or
other
:
Which
makes
some
interpret
this
intestine
war
to
be
a
visible
iudgement
fallen
upon
her
from
heaven
for
disturbing
the
peace
of
her
neighbours
.
But
I
have
observ'd
it
to
be
the
genius
of
a
true
Spaniard
(
and
I
honour
him
for
it
)
not
to
bow
and
hang
down
his
head
like
a
bulrush
at
every
puff
of
adverse
Fortune
,
nor
to
yeeld
to
the
fury
of
the
tempest
,
but
to
rouse
up
his
spirits
more
stiffly
to
resist
—
Et
contra
audentior
ire
.
In
this
double
trance
the
King
was
advis'd
to
apply
his
strength
first
to
suppresse
the
Catalan
(
the
sturdy
Montaneer
)
and
till
that
work
were
finish'd
,
to
stand
onely
upon
the
defensive
part
against
Portugall
who
is
not
esteem'd
so
much
a
man
.
Besides
these
disasters
that
befel
the
K.
of
Spain
thus
at
his
own
doors
,
he
had
another
happen'd
unto
him
in
the
Netherlands
,
for
his
Brother
Don
Fernando
the
Cardinal
Infante
died
in
the
beginning
of
his
manhood
at
Brussells
,
being
of
about
the
same
age
as
his
second
Brother
Don
Carlos
was
of
,
(
about
30.
)
who
died
some
yeers
before
:
the
world
did
take
occasion
to
wonder
that
these
two
Princes
in
the
flower
,
and
prime
vigour
of
their
age
should
thus
fall
.
Don
Carlos
the
yeer
before
he
died
,
desir'd
of
his
brother
to
be
Viceroy
of
Portugall
,
which
was
denied
him
;
Moreover
it
was
observ'd
he
drew
more
affection
from
the
Spaniards
in
generall
by
the
colour
of
his
complection
,
because
Anno
1641.
he
was
black
;
for
one
shall
hear
the
people
of
Castillia
sigh
up
and
down
and
pray
,
that
God
would
please
to
send
them
a
King
once
again
of
their
own
colour
:
Moreover
,
besides
this
popular
affection
he
was
extremely
well
beloved
of
the
soldiers
,
for
whom
he
was
alwayes
ready
to
do
good
offices
,
and
they
address'd
themselves
more
to
him
then
to
any
.
These
circumstances
made
odd
impressions
in
the
minds
of
many
which
gave
occasion
of
censuring
and
scattering
of
libells
up
and
down
touching
his
death
,
whereof
I
thought
it
not
impertinent
to
insert
one
here
,
but
not
to
impose
a
beleef
upon
the
Reader
thereby
;
It
was
drop'd
down
in
the
Court
at
Brussels
.

This
Revolt
of
Portugall
was
no
great
news
to
the
French
Cardinal
,
who
had
his
spirits
walking
there
,
as
well
as
in
Barcelona
,
and
every
where
els
;
He
had
this
Spring
wrought
the
Duke
of
Lorain
to
come
to
Paris
,
where
he
arriv'd
in
indifferent
good
equippage
considering
how
many
bitter
showers
had
fallen
,
and
weatherbeaten
him
before
;
for
he
had
arm'd
five
times
upon
severall
desseins
,
and
Fortune
alwayes
frown'd
upon
him
;
Which
some
hold
to
be
a
visible
judgement
fallen
upon
him
,
as
also
that
he
is
a
kind
of
exile
from
his
own
ancient
Princely
inheritance
,
for
abandoning
his
first
wife
,
(
by
whose
right
he
came
to
the
full
and
unquestionable
possession
of
Lorain
)
and
cohabiting
with
another
:
The
King
entertaines
him
with
a
magnificence
sutable
to
his
quality
,
and
the
Cardinall
is
as
busie
as
a
Bee
to
give
him
all
outward
content
;
The
one
sends
him
fifty
thousand
Pistols
,
the
other
twenty
thousand
in
a
great
bason
.
When
he
came
before
the
King
he
complemented
for
matters
pass'd
,
and
kneeling
twise
the
King
takes
him
up
telling
him
,
That
he
had
forgotten
all
matters
pass'd
,
and
for
the
future
he
would
espouse
his
quarrells
and
interests
and
make
them
his
own
:
And
so
it
seems
he
hath
done
,
for
he
hath
so
Anno
1642.
wedded
himself
to
the
best
Towns
of
Lorain
,
and
Barri
,
that
't
is
thought
he
will
hardly
be
ever
divorc'd
from
any
of
them
,
unlesse
he
be
forc'd
.
The
Citie
of
Paris
was
now
full
of
Catalans
,
and
Portugals
,
who
strowted
up
and
down
the
streets
,
their
new
King
having
sent
two
Ambassadors
thither
in
joynt
Commission
;
In
the
interim
the
Spanish
Ambassadors
at
Rome
negotiat
strongly
that
the
Duke
of
Bragansa
be
excommunicated
for
an
Usurper
;
if
this
had
taken
effect
,
it
had
made
the
King
of
France
incapable
to
assist
him
being
an
excommunicated
person
:
but
France
had
such
a
powerfull
faction
in
the
Consistory
,
and
the
Pope
himself
was
such
a
friend
to
her
that
the
Catholic
King
could
do
little
good
in
this
point
.
There
had
some
former
counterbuffs
pass'd
betwixt
the
Cardinall
and
the
Count
of
Soissons
,
who
had
slighted
one
of
his
Neeces
for
marriage
;
but
now
there
was
a
new
clash
happen'd
between
them
in
the
Armies
,
in
Picardy
,
where
the
Cardinal
would
have
advanc'd
his
colours
before
the
Count
of
Soissons
;
The
King
abetted
his
Cardinal
,
hereupon
the
Count
retires
in
discontentment
to
Sedan
,
and
got
the
Duke
of
Bovillon
to
ligue
with
him
;
They
rays'd
a
considerable
Army
,
and
encountred
the
Kings
forces
which
they
routed
,
but
the
Count
being
too
eager
,
and
poursuing
a
broken
Troupe
of
horse
which
was
flying
,
it
was
his
hard
fate
to
be
kill'd
by
one
of
the
Cardinals
servants
who
then
bore
Armes
;
The
fall
of
this
Prince
of
the
Bloud
in
the
prime
vigor
of
his
virility
,
causd
much
lamentation
in
France
mix'd
with
some
murmurings
against
the
Cardinal
;
And
it
was
a
good
turn
for
him
,
in
regard
now
that
Soissons
was
taken
away
there
was
no
Prince
throughout
all
France
able
to
uphold
a
faction
against
him
.
France
was
bless'd
with
another
masculine
Royall
off-spring
the
Duke
of
Anjou
,
which
did
not
raise
so
much
wonder
as
the
Dauphin
,
for
he
,
as
I
told
you
before
,
was
two
and
twenty
yeers
a
getting
,

but
a
twelvemoneth
and

few

.
Marie
de
Medici
Queen
Mother
and
Dowager
of
France
expir'd
this
yeer
,
who
may
be
said
to
be
one
of
the
greatest
Queens
that
ever
were
,
being
grandchild
,
and
gran
neece
to
two
glorious
Emperours
,
Ferdinand
,
and
Charles
the
Fifth
,
wife
of
Henry
the
Great
,
Mother
to
the
three
mighty
Kings
of
France
,
Great
Britain
,
and
Spain
,
and
to
the
ancientest
Prince
of
Christendom
,
the
Duke
of
Savoy
;
She
had
bin
Regent
of
France
many
yeers
,
during
which
time
she
discover'd
extraordinary
abilities
transcending
her
sex
;
shewas
afterwards
twice
in
Armes
against
her
sonne
,
and
she
came
at
last
to
conceive
such
a
Iunonian
indignation
against
the
Cardinal
de
Richelieu
who
had
bin
chief
of
her
Counsels
,
and
her
creature
afterwards
in
point
of
greatnesse
,
for
she
first
preferr'd
him
to
the
King
,
that
the
breach
could
never
be
made
up
between
them
;
that
one
might
say
,
Nec
quenquam
jam
ferre
potest
Regina
priorem
,
Anno
1642.
Richeliúsve
parem
.
She
was
us'd
to
say
,
That
the
worst
thing
she
ever
did
was
the
advancement
of
Richelieu
;
In
the
sense
of
this
high
indignation
she
forsook
France
,
and
drew
a
voluntary
exile
upon
her self
,
whereby
she
was
so
toss'd
up
and
down
to
severall
Countreys
that
she
became
a
Tenisball
to
the
blind
inconstant
Goddesse
;
she
first
retir'd
to
Flanders
where
she
found
good
respect
and
contentment
,
during
the
life
of
the
Archduchesse
;
but
then
being
distasted
with
the
Spanish
Ministers
,
she
remov'd
to
Holland
,
thence
to
England
,
where
she
found
most
Royall
allowance
and
Hospitality
,
and
her
last
retirement
was
to
Colen
where
she
liv'd
reclus'd
,
exercising
her self
in
strict
exercises
of
devotion
(
in
her
way
,
)
and
so
breath'd
her
last
.
Such
was
her
fate
,
I
will
not
say
her
faut
,
that
Bellona
follow'd
her
wheresoever
she
went
,
(
as
also
her
three
daughters
)
yet
in
her
own
nature
she
detested
war
,
specially
that
with
Spain
,
and
that
with
Savoy
:
And
this
was
thought
to
be
the
ground
of
her
animosity
against
the
Cardinal
.
The
King
of
France
having
thoroughly
undertaken
the
protection
of
the
Catalans
,
sent
a
royall
army
,
composed
most
of
Gascons
,
and
of
them
of
the
Religion
,
which
rush'd
into
the
County
of
Roussillon
the
Key
of
Spain
towards
that
part
of
the
Pyreneys
;
This
County
was
once
an
appendix
of
France
,
but
being
hypothequ'd
and
morgag'd
to
the
King
of
Aragon
for
a
summe
of
money
it
was
never
redeem'd
since
.
France
had
better
fortune
in
this
second
Invasion
of
Spain
,
then
she
in
the
first
at
Fontarabia
;
Perpignan
the
strongest
Fort
of
Christendom
,
for
the
bignes
,
was
besieg'd
,
and
the
King
himself
made
his
approach
thither
in
person
,
so
after
a
tough
stubborn
siege
,
by
famine
rather
then
force
,
the
Town
and
Castle
yeelded
,
wherein
there
were
above
120.
great
Canons
.
The
Spaniard
had
some
requitall
though
nothing
adaequat
to
the
losse
of
Perpignan
in
the
Netherlands
about
this
time
,
for
he
regain'd
the
Town
of
Aire
from
the
French
:
and
the
French
took
Bipalma
towards
Cambray
from
the
Spaniard
.
The
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
was
sick
that
time
the
Queen
Mother
died
at
Colen
,
yet
he
strain'd
himself
to
creep
to
the
Altar
,
and
officiated
many
Church
duties
for
her
soul
;
From
that
time
he
was
never
perfectly
recovered
,
so
about
the
latter
end
of
this
yeer
he
died
himself
in
his
Cardinal
Palace
at
Paris
.
He
was
so
attenuated
and
dried
up
with
exces
of
care
,
and
encombrances
of
the
brain
,
that
his
body
might
be
said
to
be
but
a
sackfull
of
bones
,
and
a
meere
Scheleton
.
This
gran
Minister
being
thus
gone
,
Cardinal
Mazarin
,
a
Gentleman
of
an
ancient
Roman
extraction
,
was
put
to
sit
at
the
helm
;
A
man
of
the
same
habit
,
and
habilitie
;
as
if
the
soul
of
Richelieu
had
transmigrated
into
him
;
He
was
a
bosome
friend
,
and
a
great
intrinsic
Confident
of
Richelieu
before
,
who
had
imparted
his
desseins
,
and
infus'd
all
his
maximes
into
him
,
and
open'd
unto
him
all
the
Arcana
Anno
1643.
Imperii
:
He
had
bin
an
active
politicall
instrument
employ'd
by
the
Pope
before
,
in
sundry
Treaties
,
and
difficult
traverses
of
State
,
wherein
he
had
good
successe
,
and
in
all
his
negotiations
he
was
discover'd
to
be
a
person
of
excellent
addresse
,
and
rare
endowments
.
The
King
did
not
long
survive
his
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
,
for
he
fell
mortally
ill
five
moneths
after
,
at
which
time
this
great
Monarch
paid
nature
her
last
debt
;
and
what
earthly
Potentate
is
there
,
though
never
so
independent
and
absolute
,
that
is
exempt
from
this
tribute
?
He
expir'd
the
14th
.
of
May
in
the
afternoon
,
the
same
moneth
,
the
same
day
of
the

and
about
the

houre
of
the
day
that
his
father
died
33.
yeers
before
,
but
with
this
mark
of
difference
,
that
the
one
went
,
and
the
other
was
sent
out
of
the
world
about
the
same
time
.
His
bowels
were
presently
carried
to
be
interr'd
at
Saint
Denis
,
the
last
rendevous
of
all
the
French
Kings
,
whither
his
Body
follow'd
after
in
the
height
of
all
Solemnitie
and
Magnificence
that
his
Queen
could
possibly
devise
,
whom
he
left
Regent
;
a
Lady
of
rare
temper
and
prudence
,
who
to
the
wonder
of
all
the
world
,
had
the
comfort
of
two
sons
after
two
and
twentie
yeers
expectation
;
And
to
that
benediction
hath
another
now
added
,
to
have
not
only
the
sole
government
of
them
,
but
the
supreme
sway
of
that
huge
Monarchy
,
which
She
is
like
to
continue
about
nine
yeers
longer
:
A
just
recompence
from
heaven
for
her
so
long
patience
,
as
also
for
her
wise
comportment
and
moderation
in
refraining
utterly
to
intermeddle
with
any
the
least
matters
of
State
,
while
She
remain'd
under
covert
Baron
.
Touching
other
circumstances
of
this
Kings
death
,
with
his
constitution
of
body
and
disposition
of
mind
,
you
shall
find
it
in

Thus

A
COROLLARY
ADDED
TO
THE
LIFE
of
LEWIS
the
Thirteenth
.
ANd
thus
have
we
attended
this
Great
King
from
the
Womb
to
the
Tomb
,
from
the
Funt
to
his
Funerall
,
from
Fountainbleau
to
Saint
Denis
;
Our
story
hath
waited
on
him
in
his
child-hood
,
in
his
nonage
,
and
so
ascended
from
his
majority
to
his
Meridian
,
not
leaving
him
,
tills
he
had
clos'd
his
eyes
at
Saint
Germans
,
which
was
a
good
while
too
soon
,
considering
the
ordinary
longitude
of
time
that
is
allowed
man
to
live
amongst
the
Elements
;
for
he
reach'd
not
unto
forty
three
yeers
compleat
which
in
some
constitutions
is
accounted
but
the
noontyde
of
virility
;
In
so
much
that
when
I
consider
the
frame
of
his
body
and
the
actions
of
his
life
,
I
find
that
he
had
more
obligations
to
Fortune
then
to
Nature
;
yet
was
he
of
a
comely
middlesiz'd
proportion
,
of
a
spare
but
cleer
making
,
and
though
not
strenuous
or
robust
,
yet
active
enough
,
and
patient
of
toyle
;
for
he
would
be
most
commonly
in
the
head
of
some
of
his
Armies
himself
,
and
take
very
much
pains
to
drill
and
disciplin
his
Troups
in
his
own
Person
,
and
sit
twelve
howers
together
on
horseback
;
He
was
of
a
soft
complexion
though
black
hair'd
,
which
turn'd
gray
before
he
came
to
thirty
yeers
,
which
put
him
to
his
dy
,
and
the
reason
that
Nature
did
thus
outrun
Time
in
him
,
was
,
that
she
had
not
given
him
a
competence
of
radicall
moisture
,
for
seldom
came
any
humidities
from
him
from
mouth
or
nostrill
,
nor
was
he
subject
to
sweat
,
though
he
would
agitat
his
body
often
in
tough
exercises
,
as
hunting
the
wild
Bore
,
and
other
sports
wherein
he
would
be
earnest
.
Divers
eminent
vertues
did
cohabit
in
him
,
as
piety
,
(
in
his
way
)
chastity
,
temperance
,
and
constancy
;
Touching
the
first
two
they
shin'd
in
him
with
such
a
strength
and
lustre
,
that
his
example
might
have
had
power
enough
to
give
law
to
all
mankind
,
&
cast
the
world
into
a
new
mould
,
had
it
bin
capable
of
reformation
;
He
was
pious
in
an
intense
degree
,
for
though
he
was
not
known
to
be
subject
to
any
Vice
,
yet
would
he
be
on
his
knees
to
his
ghostly
father
every
week
,
rather
to
refresh
(
as
one
said
)
then
to
clense
his
conscience
by
confession
;
nor
in
his
prayers
had
he
as
much
cause
to
ask
for
pardon
as
for
perseverance
;
defects
he
had
,
but
scarce
any
faults
;
those
rayes
which
enlightned
his
brain
from
above
,
descended
to
his
breast
and
became
fire
,
so
fervent
he
us'd
to
be
in
his
way
of
devotion
;
when
but
a
youth
he
went
to
the
Countrey
of
Bearn
,
at
his
entrance
to
Pau
,
the
Inhabitants
bringing
a
Canopy
to
carry
over
his
head
,
he
ask'd
whether
there
was
ever
a
Church
in
Town
,
and
being
answer'd
no
,
he
said
,
He
would
receive
no
honor
in
that
place
where
God
Almighty
had
no
House
to
be
honour'd
in
.
And
into
all
other
Towns
where
he
entred
as
Conqueror
,
he
would
give
expresse
command
that
none
should
cry
out
Vive
le
Roy
during
the
time
of
Procession
.
When
the
Queen
(
now
Regent
)
found
her self
quick
he
caus'd
a
solemn
Declaration
to
be
publish'd
,
wherein
he
made
the
blessed
Virgin
Protectresse
under
the
Holy
Trinity
of
all
his
estates
,
all
which
he
consecrated
to
Her
,
and
for
an
immortall
mark
of
this
consecration
,
he
commanded
the
great
Altar
in
the
Cathedrall
Church
of
Paris
to
be
built
anew
,
with
the
Image
of
the
Virgin
which
should
hold
in
her
armes
that
of
our
Saviour
,
and
the
King
to
ly
prostrat
before
the
Son
and
Mother
offring
them
his
Crown
and
Scepter
.
The
Archbishop
of
Paris
was
enjoyn'd
to
commemorat
this
Declaration
once
every
yeer
,
upon
Assumption
day
at
the
high
Altar
in
the
Morning
,
and
that
in
the
Evening
a
generall
Procession
should
be
made
wherein
the
Provost
of
Paris
,
and
all
the
soverain
companies
should
be
assistant
with
the
Court
of
Parlement
;
this
command
extended
to
all
other
Archbishops
and
Bishops
throughout
France
,
that
they
should
in
every
Cathedrall
Church
erect
one
speciall
Altar
for
the
Virgin
Mary
for
this
end
,
and
in
commemoration
of
this
act
to
perpetuity
.
Many
other
instances
could
be
produc'd
what
a
great
Zelot
he
was
in
the
Religion
and
Ceremonies
of
Rome
,
but
the
adding
of
one
more
shall
suffice
,
which
was
,
that
when
the
old
Marshall
de
la
Force
was
admitted
to
see
him
a
little
before
he
expir'd
,
he
told
him
from
his
death-bed
,
That
he
thought
God
Almighty
suffer'd
him
(
meaning
the
Marshall
)
to
live
so
long
upon
earth
expecting
his
conversion
,
as
he
had
done
that
of
Lesdiguieres
.
He
put
out
sundry
Proclamations
against
Swearers
,
against
Pride
in
apparell
,
for
he
himself
went
usually
very
plain
;
as
also
against
Duells
,
and
the
last
was
so
strict
that
both
the
appellant
and
defendant
whosoever
did
survive
,
should
suffer
death
without
mercy
,
and
be
depriv'd
of
Christian
buriall
,
but
both
rot
upon
the
gallowes
with
their
heels
upwards
.
As
he
was
thus
pious
(
in
a
general
way
)
so
was
he
towards
his
parents
in
particular
;
For
when
he
had
pass'd
nonage
,
he
sayed
,
I
am
now
a
major
to
all
the
world
except
my
mother
,
to
whom
I
shall
be
still
a
minor
.
When
he
had
given
Vitry
order
to
feiz
upon
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
,
yet
he
gave
him
a
private
instruction
not
to
touch
him
in
his
mothers
lodgings
.
She
was
twice
in
actuall
armes
against
him
,
yet
,
though
he
routed
and
broak
her
partisans
,
and
might
have
crush'd
them
all
to
peeces
,
he
pardon'd
them
all
at
her
request
;
his
brother
started
out
often
against
him
,
yet
such
was
his
indulgence
,
that
he
alwaies
forgave
him
,
and
receiv'd
him
again
into
his
bosome
;
But
when
the
Cardinall
came
to
sit
at
the
stern
,
he
had
such
strong
influxes
upon
him
,
that
he
postpos'd
both
fraternall
love
,
and
maternall
duty
,
to
his
affection
towards
him
,
or
rather
towards
his
kingdom
as
he
term'd
it
;
Insomuch
that
amongst
other
short
memorandums
he
sent
her
word
,
that
it
concernd
him
more
to
conserve
France
,
then
to
content
Her
(
viz.
his
mother
.
)
Touching
his
continence
and
chastity
he
was
a
great
example
,
for
he
was
not
subject
no
not
as
much
as
in
thought
,
much
lesse
in
action
to
the
contraries
of
these
,
according
to
the
relation
of
some
of
his
neerest
servants
;
nor
did
this
proceed
from
impotence
,
as
some
would
make
the
world
beleeve
,
but
out
of
vertue
and
conscience
,
for
he
was
said
to
hate
the
very
names
of
such
vices
more
then
others
do
the
vices
themselfs
.
Whereupon
it
was
said
,
while
his
Southern
brother
in
law
sported
in
the
pavilions
of
Venus
,
he
was
busie
▪
in
the
tents
of
Mars
,
and
took
Cities
faster
,
then
the
other
did
Maydenheads
.
He
was
also
temperat
in
a
high
degree
,
nor
would
he
ever
wrong
nature
with
the
least
exces
,
or
debauchments
.
Moreover
he
was
wonderfully
constant
in
his
affection
,
where
it
was
once
settled
;
which
is
rare
in
Soverain
Princes
,
(
especially
in
them
of
that
Clime
)
who
have
such
a
variety
of
choice
,
and
who
have
no
other
ground
of
fastnesse
for
their
affection
,
but
their
own
fancy
:
Not
all
the
world
could
alienat
his
favor
from
Luynes
,
though
the
greatest
Princes
of
France
did
actually
attempt
to
pluck
him
away
from
him
by
Armes
;
nor
after
him
from
the
Cardinal
,
towards
whom
his
love
was
in
grain
,
and
would
never
lose
colour
.
Nor
was
he
constant
onely
in
his
affection
,
but
to
his
own
ends
when
once
settled
,
and
resolv'd
upon
;
to
attain
which
he
was
so
actif
and
hot
,
that
when
he
went
about
it
,
he
not
onely
apply'd
,
but
gave
up
himself
entirely
to
the
thing
.
Furthermore
he
was
marvellously
modest
in
an
opinion
of
himself
,
and
so
conscious
of
his
own
judgement
,
that
he
resign'd
his
very
faculty
of
reason
,
and
transmitted
all
his
intellectualls
to
others
;
a
high
point
of
prudence
,
for
that
Prince
who
steers
his
course
by
the
Compas
of
Counsell
,
though
he
be
himself
but
of
indifferent
abilities
,
is
a
far
wiser
man
,
then
he
who
,
albeit
never
so
politic
and
able
of
himself
,
doth
guid
his
affaires
by
his
own
fancy
,
sole
opinion
being
the
worst
kind
of
rule
in
Government
.
And
he
was
as
fortunat
as
judicious
in
the
choice
of
his
Counsellors
,
and
chiefest
ministers
both
of
State
and
War
;
He
would
not
send
an
Ajax
,
where
he
should
employ
an
Vlysses
;
nor
a
Saintre
,
where
Bouciqualt
was
fitter
for
the
turn
;
The
two
last
were
the
most
famous
men
that
France
ever
bred
,
one
for
the
Gown
,
the
other
for
the
Sword
,
according
to
the
verse
I
have
read
in
an
old
Manuscript
.
Beaucoup
plus
vaut
pour
un
assault
,
Saintrê
,
que
ne
fait
Bouciquault
;
Beaucoup
mieux
vaut
en
un
Traicté
Bouciquault
,
que
ne
fait
Saintrê
.
Thus
unfrench'd
,
and
made
English
.
Were
I
to
choose
for
an
assault
I
'de
have
Saintrê
,
not
Bouciquault
,
Were
I
to
treat
,
then
should
for
me
Stand
Bouciquault
,
and
not
Saintrê
.
So
many
high
signall
vertues
which
were
naturally
inhaerent
in
him
were
unquestionably
the
cause
that
he
prosper'd
so
much
;
So
that
't
is
a
question
whom
Fortune
lov'd
better
,
the
Father
or
the
Son
;
'T
is
true
his
Father
fought
four
great
Battails
wherein
he
prov'd
victorious
,
and
so
may
be
said
to
have
come
to
the
Crown
of
France
by
Conquest
,
as
much
as
by
Succession
,
yet
all
these
and
other
exploits
of
Henry
the
Great
's
were
within
the
bounds
of
France
,
and
nought
els
but
domestic
achievments
;
But
France
was
too
narrow
a
compas
,
to
comprehend
and
confine
the
exploits
of
the
Thirteenth
Lewis
,
for
besides
thirteen
severall
Civil
Wars
▪
in
France
her self
and
Navar
which
he
suppress'd
,
and
most
of
them
in
Person
;
so
many
Battailes
were
fought
in
Spain
,
Italy
,
Savoy
,
amongst
the
Grisons
,
in
Lorain
,
and
in
high
and
low
Germany
;
He
had
at
one
time
in
the
yeers
sixteen

and
thirty

then

and

and

Armies
;
whereas
Henry
the
Great
never
had

horse
and
foot
at
once
in
all
;
never
any
made
France
know
her
own
strength
so
much
,
and
to
find
the
length
of
her
weapon
,
as
this
King
did
;
He
went
a
horseback
betimes
,
for
at
thirteen
yeers
of
age
he
suppress'd
in
Person
two
Rebellions
,
one
in
Poitou
,
and
another
in
Britany
▪
so
that
he
began
to
triumph
in
those
yeers
that
others
begin
to
handle
their
armes
,
and
learn
how
to
sit
a
horse
in
an
Academy
.
Afterwards
he
was
forc'd
to
get
his
Queen
by
the
sword
,
and
to
bring
her
into
his
armes
by
Armes
,
there
being
three
severall
Armies
to
stop
her
passage
.
He
then
repells
the
English
who
had
so
boldly
invaded
France
,
whereby
he
gain'd
a
greater
addition
of
credit
and
fame
,
then
he
did
by
worsting
Spaniard
,
Italian
,
or
German
,
in
regard
of
the
admirable
Victories
that
the
English
carried
home
from
France
in
times
pass'd
,
by
taking
one
of
their
warlik'st
Kings
prisoner
,
and
oftentimes
by
discomfiting
whole
Troupes
with
a
handfull
of
men
.
After
this
he
beleaguers
,
takes
and
batters
the
chiefest
rampart
of
the
Religion
,
the
impregnable
Town
of
Rochell
after
a
stupendous
siege
by
Land
and
Sea
,
where
a
prodigious
Dike
was
cast
up
which
serv'd
as
a
bit
in
Neptunes
jawes
,
and
whereby
he
may
be
said
to
have
curb'd
all
the
Elements
.
No
sooner
had
he
shaken
off
the
dust
of
Rochell
,
but
behold
him
cover'd
with
snow
on
the
horrid
Alpian
Hills
almost
in
the
dead
of
Winter
,
where
he
broke
open
his
way
with
the
point
of
the
sword
to
relieve
the
Duke
of
Mantova
,
he
got
Forts
accessibly
onely
by
birds
amongst
those
clowd-topping
Hills
,
and
so
returns
triumphant
having
done
the
work
,
and
overcome
the
rocks
in
this
expedition
,
as
he
did
the
Sea
at
Rochell
.
He
then
goes
on
to
perfect
that
mighty
work
of
reducing
his
subjects
of
the
Religion
to
an
exact
condition
of
obedience
,
by
dismantling
their
Towns
,
whereof
they
had
neer
upon
three
hundred
in
France
and
Navar
,
by
casheering
their
Garrisons
,
and
bringing
them
to
relye
for
the
future
upon
royall
favor
;
a
work
which
his
five
immediat
Predecessors
attempted
to
do
,
but
could
not
effect
in
seventy
yeers
,
whereas
he
did
it
in
far
lesse
then
so
many
moneths
.
Then
behold
him
Lord
of
all
Lorain
,
and
of
the
greatest
part
of
Alsatia
,
by
being
Master
of
Brisach
,
Rhinfeld
and
other
places
:
Then
trace
him
to
the
Netherlands
,
and
you
shall
find
him
in
the
ancient
Town
of
Arras
,
and
divers
other
places
his
predecessor
Francis
the
First
had
given
for
his
ransom
.
Lastly
look
after
him
towards
the
Pyrenean
Mountaines
,
&
you
shall
see
him
boldly
invade
Spain
,
entring
the
County
of
Roussillon
like
lightning
,
and
battering
the
walls
of
Perpignan
,
which
after
a
tough
siege
,
notwithstanding
she
had
above
120.
great
Cannons
,
and
ten
strong
Bulwarks
,
he
reduc'd
to
his
will
,
whereby
he
hath
redeem'd
with
lead
(
I
mean
good
bullets
)
that
Countrey
which
one
of
his
predecessors
morgag'd
for
gold
in
times
pass'd
:
Thus
hath
he
got
three
such
keys
that
none
of
his
progenitors
(
not
Emperors
)
ever
had
:
Perpignan
,
Pignerol
,
and
Brisach
,
one
to
enter
Spain
,
the
other
Italy
,
and
the
third
to
rush
into
Germany
at
pleasure
.
Look
upon
him
in
his
City
,
Town
,
Vniversitie
,
and
Court
at
Paris
,
and
you
shall
find
him
enlarging
her
skirts
and
lacing
them
about
with
new
walls
,
according
to
the
custome
of
Rome
(
once
the
great
Mistresse
of
the
world
)
who
upon
the
encrease
of
her
Empire
extended
also
her
walls
upon
any
new
acquest
.
Nor
must
you
behold
him
only
on
Land
,
but
cast
your
eyes
upon
him
at
Sea
,
and
you
shall
find
him
incomparably
more
potent
then
all
his
progenitors
,
the
French
formerly
waded
like
sheep
,
but
now
they
may
be
said
to
swimme
like
Elephants
;
Before
,
France
could
hardly
without
borrowing
,
put
twenty
Sayles
of
men
of
War
to
Sea
,
but
now
she
can
rig
a
hundred
well
appointed
fighting
great
Vessells
in
Galleons
and
Gallies
in
both
her
Seas
at
a
short
warning
.
But
having
done
with
the
pro
,
let
us
see
what
may
be
said
to
the
contra
,
touching
this
Great
King
;
It
must
be
granted
that
Fortune
did
not
alwaies
sit
at
the
helm
of
his
proceedings
.
At
the
Treaty
of
Lodun
he
was
il-favor'dly
baffled
by
his
own
subjects
,
who
gave
him
law
,
and
set
the
dice
upon
him
:
but
than
you
'l
say
he
was
young
,
and
let
it
suffice
for
an
excuse
:
Before
Montaban
he
lost
five
hundred
Gentlemen
,
and
five
times
as
many
soldiers
,
and
then
was
forc'd
to
trusse
up
his
baggage
and
be
gone
,
and
to
suffer
this
Motto
upon

In
Italy
he
lost
first
and
last
an
hundred
thousand
subjects
.
Before
and
about
Saint
Omer
ten
thousand
.
At
Fontarabia
he
had
a
foul
repulse
:
At
Theonville
he
lost
seven
thousand
French
;
before
Hesain
,
there
fell
little
lesse
;
and
the
succouring
of
Scales
prov'd
a
tart
peece
of
service
;
The
first
Army
he
sent
to
joyn
with
the
States
which
came
to
thirty
thousand
horse
and
foot
got
little
credit
at
Tillemont
,
and
lesse
before
Lovain
,
and
divers
thousands
of
them
died
without
an
enemy
,
and
came
home
by
weeping
crosse
.
Touching
his
Appellation
or
Epithet
of
Iust
,
there
are
divers
Critiques
,
and
some
of
his
own
subjects
give
out
,
that
it
doth
not
so
well
quadrat
with
him
;
They
instance
in
the
maner
of
Marshall
D'Ancres
death
in
the
dawnings
of
his
raign
:
Moreover
when
he
pass'd
by
Saumur
,
he
sent
for
the
keys
of
the
Town
and
Castle
to
Du
Plessis
promising
upon
the
word
of
a
King
he
would
deliver
them
him
again
,
which
was
not
done
;
only
a
Gentleman
of
the
Religion
was
left
Governor
of
the
Castle
for
the
time
:
The
Rochellers
complain'd
that
he
often
promised
to
raze
Lewis
Fort
;
The
Duke
of
Savoy
spoak
high
language
,
and
charg'd
him
with
breach
of
Article
that
he
was
not
sent
for
,
and
admitted
to
the
Treaty
at
Monson
;
The
Duke
of
Lorain
,
more
then
any
,
chargeth
him
(
nor
hath
he
reason
to
be
angry
with
him
therefore
,
for
losers
must
have
leave
to
speak
)
that
his
safe
conducts
before
Nancy
,
and
at
other
times
turn'd
to
enforcements
,
his
Treaties
to
traps
;
The
Emperour
knows
not
how
he
fell
out
with
him
;
And
the
Spaniard
swears
by
his
mustachos
,
that
he
first
infring'd
the
Sacred
bonds
and
Capitulations
of
Peace
so
solemnly
sworn
betwixt
them
,
and
corroborated
by
a
double
Nuptiall
knot
:
Nor
saith
he
,
will
the
proceedings
against
the
Archbishop
of
Mentz
serve
to
justifie
him
,
for
he
was
a
Rebell
to
the
Emperour
,
before
France
had
undertaken
his
protection
.
The
Duke
of
Lorain
chargeth
him
further
that
he
would
have
dissolv'd
and
nullified
the
marriage
'twixt
Monsieur
and
his
Sister
,
she
being
a
better
woman
then
his
first
wife
,
who
was
daughter
to
a
vassal
of
the
Crown
of
France
;
&
being
also
of
as
good
extraction
as
himself
,
having
lineally
descended
from
Charlemayne
,
and
in
one
respect
of
a
better
condition
then
his
Brother
was
,
when
he
married
her
,
she
being
a
Virgin
and
he
a
Widower
.
Nay
he
taxeth
him
of
impiety
that
he
should
offer
to
make
the
Eternal
Law
of
God
touching
marriage
to
be
baulk'd
by
a
humane
and
temporary
politic
Constitution
of
France
alterable
at
mens
pleasures
,
which
is
,
that
the
Heire
Apparant
of
the
Crown
should
not
marry
without
Royall
consent
;
and
being
married
according
to
the
Rites
of
the
Church
,
to
make
this
latter
law
to
be
of
more
force
then
the
former
.
Poore
Germany
complaines
that
he
hath
plung'd
her
in
an
eternall
war
by
bringing
in
the
Swed
,
and
by
fomenting
him
ever
since
within
her
bowels
:
The
Iesuits
have
also
a
saying
to
him
,
that
his
prime
Confidents
and
Confederats
were
opposit
to
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
,
as
the
Hollander
,
the
Hessian
,
the
Grison
,
the
Swed
,
which
cannot
choose
but
be
derogatory
to
the
most
Christian
King
;
The
Spaniard
saith
further
that
he
upheld
not
only
old
but
new
Rebells
against
him
,
as
the
Catalan
and
the
Portugall
,
and
that
he
need
not
glory
much
of
his
doings
against
his
Monarchy
,
for
France
of
her self
had
bin
able
to
have
done
him
little
hurt
,
had
she
not
ligu'd
with
,
and
employed
his
own
revolted
Vassals
,
as
the
Hollander
,
and
the
other
two
mentioned
a
little
before
,
against
him
;
And
therefore
what
mischief
and
exploits
France
hath
perform'd
against
him
,
was
by
conjunction
with
these
his
subjects
,
otherwise
she
had
never
bin
able
to
have
trodden
as
much
as
upon
his
toe
.
Lastly
,
the
poore
Pesans
of
France
pitifully
cry
out
that
they
are
transform'd
to
meer
Asses
,
that
his
wars
were
not
onely
maintain'd
with
their
persons
,
but
nourish'd
with
their
bloud
,
with
their
very
vitall
spirits
and
livelihoods
;
that
for
many
yeers
he
made
them
to
soften
and
steep
their
bread
in
teares
,
which
flow'd
in
such
plenty
,
that
there
were
enough
to
quench
all
the
Bonefiers
of
triumph
that
have
bin
made
since
the
beginning
of
his
Raign
;
the
smoakes
whereof
were
so
thick
that
they
hinder'd
him
to
see
their
pitifull
,
meager
looks
,
and
grinded
faces
;
and
the
clashing
of
his
armes
so
great
,
that
he
could
not
hear
their
cryes
.
They
complain
that
they
are
now
so
habituated
to
new
impositiōs
and
inventions
tending
to
slavery
,
that
like
Milo's
beast
,
their
burthen
is
grown
up
from
a
calf
to
an
ox
since
these
wars
;
Yea
they
cry
out
that
they
are
grown
worse
then
Asses
,
they
are
become
meer
Dromedaries
who
not
only
receive
the
burden
,
but
kneel
down
to
take
it
up
.
To
all
these
accusations
somthing
may
be
said
in
answer
;
For
his
faylings
with
his
subjects
of
the
Religion
,
there
are
some
that
would
cleer
him
by
recrimination
of
them
,
for
he
never
promis'd
any
thing
categorically
,
but
upon
condition
that
they
should
also
performe
divers
things
,
and
the
obligation
of
the
one
depended
upon
the
performance
of
the
other
,
so
there
were
faylings
on
both
sides
.
Touching
D'Ancre
he
had
so
involv'd
and
mingled
his
own
particular
interests
with
those
of
the
State
,
that
an
ordinary
way
could
not
separat
them
;
He
had
likewise
so
distasted
all
the
Princes
,
that
he
was
like
to
be
pernicious
and
destructive
to
his
Kingdom
,
yet
it
was
not
his
mind
to
have
him
suddenly
assassinated
in
that
manner
;
though
on
the
other
side
,
Wallestein
was
made
away
so
by
Imperiall
warrant
,
and
the
act
justified
.
Concerning
the
Duke
of
Lorain
he
alledg'd
neglect
of
homage
,
(
which
was
unquestionably
due
unto
him
)
and
conjunction
with
his
enemies
,
as
also
breach
of
promise
that
Monsieur
should
not
mary
his
sister
,
and
the
giving
of
shelter
to
all
Fugitives
.
For
the
Duke
of
Savoy
touching
the
Treaty
of
Monson
,
though
the
Duke
was
not
there
in
Person
,
yet
his
businesse
was
dispatch'd
with
as
much
advantage
to
him
,
as
if
he
had
bin
there
present
,
by
the
French
Ambassadors
;
nor
had
he
as
much
cause
of
grievance
,
as
he
had
of
many
high
obligations
of
gratitude
,
to
have
his
Countrey
and
Towns
restor'd
unto
him
which
had
bin
so
often
overrun
by
the
French
armes
.
Concerning
his
colleguing
with
Protestants
,
Spain
may
be
upbraided
as
well
;
for
Charles
the
Fifth
employed
Lutherans
,
whom
he
call'd
his
black
bands
,
against
France
and
Rome
her self
,
and
that
by
the
advice
of
his
Theologues
:
This
present
King
Philip
had
privat
intelligence
with
the
Duke
of
Rohan
,
who
pay'd
him
(
and
his
brother
)
a
yeerly
Pension
,
to
keep
France
in
action
by
Civill
Wars
,
and
had
entred
into
a
Treaty
with
him
accordingly
consisting
of
divers
capitulations
;
Moreover
the
Catholic
Kings
have
had
,
and
have
to
this
day
friendship
and
confederacie
with
divers
Pagan
Princes
,
and
amongst
others
with
the
King
of
Calecut
(
who
adores
the
Devil
)
for
a
little
Pepper
or
such
like
Commodities
:
Nor
are
there
wanting
examples
how
in
the
time
of
the
Moores
,
the
King
of
Aragon
made
use
of
Moriscos
against
another
Christian
King
.
Another
makes
an
odd
Apologie
for
this
King
why
he
confederated
with
Protestants
,
and
employ'd
them
so
much
in
his
wars
,
which
is
,
that
he
made
use
of
them
against
the
greatnes
of
the
House
of
Austria
only
,
whom
they
suspect
and
perfectly
hate
:
And
touching
his
subjects
of
the
Religion
in
France
,
it
was
never
out
of
any
affection
unto
them
,
or
out
of
any
conceit
of
fidelity
he
had
of
them
,
that
from
time
to
time
he
gave
them
Honor
and
offices
in
his
Armies
,
but
out
of
a
politic
end
to
diminish
,
and
destroy
them
by
degrees
,
for
a
greater
number
of
them
,
then
of
Papists
perish'd
in
his
wars
.
For
breaking
with
his
Brother
in
law
the
King
of
Spain
and
the
House
of
Austria
;
he
did
it
meerly
out
of
political
interests
,
and
pure
reason
of
State
,
which
is
now
grown
to
the
highest
point
of
subtilty
,
and
swayes
the
world
more
then
ever
;
It
is
well
known
that
France
(
as
all
Europe
besides
)
hath
bin
for
many
yeers
emulous
of
Spaine
,
and
suspectfull
of
her
greatnes
,
for
she
hath
bin
still
growing
and
gathering
more
strength
any
time
these
hundred
yeers
;
In
so
much
that
considering
her
huge
large
limbs
she
was
become
a
Giant
in
comparison
of
all
her
neighbours
;
France
was
fearfull
of
this
unproportionable
hugenes
of
hers
more
then
any
,
and
therefore
being
somewhat
distrustfull
of
his
own
strength
to
cope
with
her
single
,
he
enters
into
confederation
with
others
,
as
the
Hollander
,
and
Swed
;
So
that
this
war
of
France
with
Spain
is
meerly
preventive
;
Nor
is
preventive
war
a
new
thing
,
but
we
have
warrant
for
it
from
Antiquitie
;
I
am
sure
it
is
as
old
as
that
of
Peleponnesus
,
the
ground
whereof
,
was
to
keep
the
power
of
Athens
within
its
wonted
channel
,
which
went
daily
swelling
ore
the
old
banks
;
this
gave
the
first
alarum
to
the
Lacedemonian
to
stand
upon
his
Guard
,
and
to
put
himself
in
Armes
;
whence
afterwards
issued
that
long
liv'd
war
which
History
renders
so
famous
to
posterity
.
Alphonso
K.
of
Castile
made
war
against
the
Moors
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Spanish
Kings
(
for
there
were
divers
then
in
Spain
)
finding
him
encrease
in
power
collegu'd
against
him
;
and
the
reason
the
Historian
gives
is
,
Nunquam
satis
fida
principum
potentia
finitimis
est
,
occasionem
proferendi
Imperii
avidè
arripiente
natura
mortalium
.
The
Decree
of
the
College
of
Sorbon
is
,
That
the
exorbitant
greatnes
of
a
neighbouring
Prince
may
be
a
just
ground
for
a
war
.
'T
is
well
known
how
watchfull
those
three
Geryons
of
their
times
,
Charles
the
Fifth
,
Henry
the
Eight
of
England
,
and
Francis
the
First
of
France
,
were
to
keep
their
power
in
aequilibrio
;
they
had
alwayes
an
eye
upon
the
Scale
to
see
which
way
it
panch'd
and
out-pois'd
:
And
it
hath
bin
us'd
to
be
the
old
policy
&
power
of
England
(
though
now
crosse
winds
have
long
blown
upon
her
)
to
question
any
of
her
neighbours
touching
their
encrease
of
strength
in
shipping
.
There
be
examples
without
number
how
it
hath
bin
alwaies
the
practise
of
the
sagest
Princes
,
as
being
a
rule
that
's
warrantable
in
the
schoole
of
prudence
and
honor
,
to
prevent
that
their
adjoyning
neighbours
oregrow
them
not
by
accesse
of
new
power
,
either
by
weakning
their
Allies
,
by
Monopolizing
of
Trade
,
encrease
of
Territory
,
by
mastering
of
passages
,
or
by
too
neer
approaches
.
The
last
makes
me
think
that
it
is
high
time
for
the
Hollander
to
look
about
him
considering
the
late
acquests
of
the
French
in
the
Netherlands
,
and
to
be
warnd
by
the
old
Proverb
,
Aye
le
François
pour
ton
Amy
,
non
pas
pour
ton
voisin
.
Have
the
French
for
thy
friend
,
not
for
thy
neighbour
.
The
Austrian
Eagle
had
display'd
his
wings
wider
then
formerly
,
by
addition
of
the
Palatinat
,
Triers
,
and
other
places
in
Germany
:
France
took
Armes
to
make
him
mew
these
new
feathers
,
and
she
had
those
three
things
,
which
one
said
were
requisit
to
make
her
eternall
,
favourable
unto
her
,
viz.
Rome
,
the
Sea
,
and
Counsel
:
Pope
Vrban
the
Eight
had
his
breeding
there
twenty
yeers
together
and
so
was
a
friend
to
her
;
she
had
a
competent
number
of
Ships
,
and
for
Counsell
she
had
Richelieu
for
her
Pilot
:
He
was
not
like
your
Countrey
Wasters
that
Demosthenes
writes
of
,
who
were
us'd
to
grow
skilful
in
defending
those
parts
of
the
body
where
they
had
bin
hurt
,
but
he
could
foresee
and
fence
away
the
blow
before
it
was
given
:
And
for
others
,
he
carried
matters
so
that
some
of
them
found
their
hands
sezi'd
upon
when
they
were
ready
to
strike
.
This
caus'd
him
to
make
his
King
the
first
aggressor
of
the
war
against
Spain
;
wherein
he
had
wonderfull
successe
,
and
done
such
feats
(
as
hath
appear'd
already
in
the
body
of
the
story
)
that
as
they
have
struck
an
amazement
in
the
present
age
,
so
they
will
breed
an
incredulity
in
the
future
.
Touching
the
last
complaint
against
him
that
he
peel'd
and
poll'd
the
Peasan
,
't
is
true
he
did
so
;
but
he
who
is
vers'd
in
the
humour
of
that
people
,
what
boyling
brains
,
and
perpetuall
inclinations
they
have
to
noveltie
,
and
to
break
out
into
motion
,
if
they
be
pamper'd
with
peace
and
riches
,
will
conclude
,
that
there
is
a
necessitie
to
keep
them
short
in
point
of
wealth
,
whose
ordinary
effects
are
pride
and
insurrections
:
Yet
I
beleeve
there
may
be
other
more
laudable
wayes
of
policy
us'd
for
prevention
of
this
then
poverty
;
It
being
a
true
maxime
in
the
Academy
of
Honor
,
that
it
is
more
glorious
for
a
Prince
,
to
be
King
of
an
opulent
free
people
,
then
of
a
slavish
and
beggerly
:
And
the
greatest
reproach
that
Forreners
cast
upon
the
French
Government
,
is
,
that
the
wealth
of
the
Countrey
should
be
so
unequally
dispenc'd
,
the
King
,
Clergy
,
Nobles
,
and
Officers
swallowing
up
all
,
while
the
common
people
have
scarce
that
competency
which
beasts
use
to
have
to
satisfie
the
necessities
of
Nature
:
for
there
is
not
upon
earth
a
more
plentiful
Countrey
,
and
a
poorer
people
generally
,
then
the
Pesantry
of
France
.
There
was
another
reach
of
State
why
the
common
people
were
kept
so
poore
and
indigent
,
which
was
,
that
he
might
be
supplied
with
soldiers
to
furnish
his
Infantry
for
the
wars
,
whereunto
necessity
will
drive
any
one
;
At
the
sound
of
his
Drum
they
came
alwaies
in
multitudes
to
serve
him
because
he
had
alwayes
store
of
treasure
to
pay
them
;
He
had
at
one
time
above
120000.
of
them
in
severall
Armies
,
nor
were
there
ever
such
services
perform'd
by
French
foot
,
who
formerly
had
but
small
repute
in
the
world
;
with
these
and
his
cavalry
he
perform'd
such
exploits
that
as
I
said
before
,
posterity
must
have
a
strong
faith
to
beleeve
them
;
such
exploits
that
Mars
himself
(
the
ascendent
of
France
)
might
have
bin
invited
to
partake
of
his
triumphs
;
—
vel
et
ipse
vocari
Iupiter
ad
praedam
posset
.
With
these
he
drew
the
overwhelmings
of
Spain
into
a
narrower
channel
,
and
put
her
to
cast
her
policy
into
a
new
mould
,
for
whereas
before
she
was
for
many
yeers
upon
the
conquering
and
offensive
part
,
she
is
now
content
to
stand
upon
her
guard
,
and
put
her self
upon
the
conserving
and
defensive
part
.
By
these
performances
of
France
against
the
Monarchy
of
Spain
it
visibly
appears
,
what
advantage
a
little
body
that
hath
his
joynts
well
knit
and
compacted
,
and
hath
also
his
radicall
moisture
and
radicall
heat
(
the
two
gran
columns
of
life
)
dispers'd
in
equall
proportion
throughout
all
parts
to
actuate
the
whole
and
make
it
vigorous
,
(
for
such
is
France
)
may
have
over
a
huge
unweldy
bulk
whose
members
by
vast
uneven
distances
are
so
loosly
kept
together
as
the
Spanish
Monarchy
is
known
to
be
;
which
,
were
she
as
closely
knit
as
France
,
or
the
Ottoman
Empire
either
which
extends
two
and
thirty
hundred
miles
and
but
the
(
Hellespont
between
)
in
one
continued
peece
from
Buda
in
Hungary
to
Bagdad
or
Babylon
in
Asia
,
I
say
,
if
the
modern
Monarchy
of
Spain
were
so
closely
united
,
she
might
compare
with
the
greatest
that
hath
bin
yet
upon
Earth
.
And
now
will
we
put
an
absolut
period
to
the
history
of
the
life
of
Lewis
the
Thirteenth
.
Which
we
have
illustrated
in
the
best
manner
we
could
,
as
also
to
this
Corollary
and
short
transcurrence
of
his
raign
,
which
lasted
thirty
three
yeers
,
and
his
whole
life
hardly
reach'd
to
forty
three
,
a
time
which
as
was
said
before
,
in
a
well
dispos'd
body
is
accounted
but
the
Meridian
of
manhood
;
whether
nature
posted
away
,
and
hastned
thus
her
course
in
him
and
made
him
old
before
his
time
by
her
own
weaknes
,
or
by
accident
,
(
as
some
mutter
)
we
will
not
determin
,
but
rather
give
faith
to
the
first
cause
,
and
to
divers
dangerous
sicknesses
whereof
he
had
pass'd
the
brunt
formerly
,
as
also
to
exces
of
care
and
intentivenes
of
mind
,
and
personall
pains
in
the
war
:
He
had
a
long
time
to
study
the
art
of
dying
,
his
disease
being
a
Consumption
,
which
afforded
him
space
enough
to
set
his
House
in
order
;
He
spoak
oft
times
of
the
troubles
of
Great
Britain
in
his
sicknes
,
and
once
he
was
overheard
to
say
that
it
was
a
just
judgement
,
because
his
Brother
of
England
would
have
assisted
his
subjects
once
against
him
.
So
this
great
King
died
in
the
highest
glory
of
his
actions
,
for
his
sayles
swell'd
with
prosperous
winds
till
he
came
to
his
last
port
.
He
had
settled
all
things
so
exactly
,
that
when
he
came
to
die
,
he
had
nothing
els
to
do
,
but
to
die
,
which
he
did
so
gently
,
that
it
was
rather
a
soft
dissolution
then
death
;
By
his
high
exemplary
vertues
,
and
strangenes
to
vice
he
was
a
Saint
amongst
Kings
on
earth
,
and
now
may
be
a
King
among
Saints
in
heaven
,
whither
he
went
on
Ascension
day
:
For
his
acts
of
prowesse
he
deserves
to
have
the
Alps
for
his
tomb
,
&
the
Pyrenean
Mountains
for
his
monument
,
for
he
made
them
both
to
stoop
unto
him
:
He
left
his
Queen
(
a
yeer
and
some
moneths
younger
then
himself
)
Regent
,
as
it
was
her
due
by
Saint
Lewis
law
,
which
she
might
have
clam'd
by
merit
,
as
well
as
by
right
,
for
she
had
bin
marvailously
complying
,
carefull
and
indulgent
of
him
;
A
Lady
of
admirable
sweetnes
,
moderation
,
and
prudence
,
for
she
never
tamper'd
with
the
Government
in
his
time
,
nor
would
she
meddle
with
the
Election
of
any
Officer
or
Minister
of
State
,
nor
interpose
in
any
thing
,
but
in
matters
of
mercy
and
pardon
,
and
then
she
would
be
sure
to
have
an
inkling
how
the
King
was
inclin'd
(
which
made
her
receive
few
denials
)
so
that
being
much
importun'd
for
Monmorency's
pardon
(
whose
first
crime
,
was
the
last
action
of
his
life
)
she
would
by
no
means
attempt
it
.
The
young
King
was
foure
yeers
and
eight
moneths
old
when
his
father
died
,
so
that
the
Queen
is
to
rule
in
chief
till
he
be
fourteen
,
whereby
France
,
in
statu
quo
nunc
,
may
be
said
to
have
fallen
under
the
government
of
Strangers
,
the
Queen
Regent
being
a
Spaniard
,
and
Mazarini
the
Prime
Minister
of
State
an
Italian
.
THE
LIFE
OF
ARMAND
IOHN
DE
PLESSIS
Cardinal
of
RICHELIEU
.
HAving
done
with
the
Master
,
we
will
now
descend
to
his
Minister
,
the
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
,
a
man
so
cryed
up
,
that
every
corner
of
Christendom
rang
of
his
report
for
twenty
yeers
together
,
nay
the
walls
of
the
Seraglio
ecchoed
with
his
fame
,
and
fear
of
the
mighty
doings
of
France
,
which
made
the
Turks
to
think
oftner
upon
that
famous
Prophecy
they
have
amongst
them
,
that
the
Ottomans
should
at
last
get
Kenzal
almai
the
Red
Apple
,
which
they
interpret
to
be
Rome
,
but
not
long
after
,
their
Empire
should
be
destroy'd
by
a
Flower
,
by
which
they
think
are
meant
the
Freinks
.
He
was
a
Gentleman
of
very
ancient
descent
,
for
in
the
Tree
of
his
genealogie
I
find
,
that
by
the
House
of
Dreux
his
Ancestors
were
allied
to
Lewis
the
gros
,
one
of
the
Kings
of
France
;
and
by
a
direct
uninterrupted
line
he
came
for
thirteene
degrees
from
Father
to
Son
,
from
William
of
Plessis
who
was
a
Gentleman
of
high
account
in
Philip
Augustus
time
,
1179.
When
his
father
Francis
De
Plessis
died
he
was
but
five
yeers
old
,
and
so
remain'd
under
the
tutele
of
his
Mother
Susanna
de
Porta
,
who
gave
him
all
the
advantagious
breeding
that
could
be
in
Paris
(
where
he
was
born
)
both
in
an
Academy
for
riding
,
and
handling
of
armes
,
and
in
the
University
for
learning
;
he
made
choice
of
the
Colledge
of
Sorbon
to
finish
the
course
of
his
studies
,
where
he
took
the
profession
of
a
Theologue
,
and
so
became
a
Sorbonist
Doctor
.
He
had
two
brothers
,
Francis
,
the
eldest
,
was
kill'd
by
the
Marquis
of
Themines
in
duel
;
Alphonso
,
the
second
,
being
elected
Bishop
of
Lusson
forsook
the
pomp
of
the
world
,
and
betook
himself
to
the
austere
life
of
a
Carthusian
(
whose
rule
is
never
to
eat
flesh
)
and
so
resign'd
the
Bishoprick
to
his
youngest
brother
Armand
,
whose
life
we
write
:
But
afterwards
,
by
his
meanes
,
the
Carthusian
Fryer
was
brought
to
accept
of
the
Archbishoprick
of
Aix
in
Provence
,
then
of
Lions
,
and
so
ascended
to
be
Cardinal
.
He
had
also
two
sisters
,
Frances
,
maried
to
the
Baron
of
Pont
de
Curlay
,
who
had
of
her
the
Duchesse
of
Esguillon
:
And
Nicola
,
his
second
sister
was
maried
to
the
Marquis
of
Brezé
Marshall
of
France
,
and
first
French-Viceroy
of
Catalonia
in
Spain
,
upon
the
late
revolt
;
who
hath
a
son
and
a
daughter
by
her
,
Iohn
Armand
the
son
was
Generall
of
the
French
Army
in
the
West
,
and
employ'd
Ambassador
extraordinary
to
congratulat
the
new
King
of
Portugall
;
Clara
Clemente
the
daughter
was
maried
lately
to
the
Duke
of
Anguiern
eldest
son
to
the
Prince
of
Condé
.
When
his
brother
Alphonso
had
transmitted
unto
him
the
Bishoprick
of
Lusson
,
he
went
to
Rome
for
a
Consecration
,
and
Paul
the
Fifth
dispenc'd
with
his
incapacity
of
age
,
for
he
was
but
21
yeers
old
;
Some
report
that
the
Pope
observing
the
height
▪
and
activity
of
his
spirit
,
was
overheard
to
say
,
That
that
young
Prelat
would
overturn
the
world
;
being
return'd
to
France
from
Rome
,
and
brought
to
kisse
Henry
the
Fourths
hands
,
he
was
somewhat
taken
with
him
,
telling
him
that
he
was
come
from
that
place
,
whence
one
day
should
descend
upon
him
the
greatest
honor
that
Rome
could
affoord
a
Frenchman
▪
and
afterwards
he
was
us'd
to
call
him
his
Bishop
.
For
divers
yeers
he
applied
himself
altogether
to
the
function
of
his
Ministery
,
and
us'd
to
preach
often
in
the
Kings
Chappell
:
In
the
Assembly
of
the
three
States
he
was
chosen
Orator
for
the
Ecclesiastiques
,
where
his
pregnancy
of
wit
first
appeer'd
publicly
in
matters
of
State
:
Where
upon
he
got
footing
afterward
at
Court
,
and
was
made
great
Almoner
:
Then
his
abilities
discovering
themselfs
more
and
more
,
he
was
nominated
Ambassador
extraordinary
for
Spain
to
accommode
the
differences
then
a
foot
'twixt
the
Dukes
of
Savoy
and
Mantova
;
when
the
Princes
started
out
in
discontent
,
and
put
themselfs
in
armes
to
demolish
the
Marshall
of
Ancre
,
some
Privy
Counsellors
were
outed
of
their
Offices
at
Court
,
amongst
others
Monsieur
Villeray
had
his
Writ
of
ease
for
being
any
more
Secretary
of
State
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Lusson
was
thought
the
fittest
man
to
succeed
him
,
and
to
receive
the
Seales
,
which
he
did
,
and
this
diverted
him
from
his
forren
employment
to
Spain
.
When
the
Marquis
of
Ancre
was
Pistol'd
,
and
his
wife
beheaded
,
there
was
a
new
face
of
things
at
Court
,
another
generation
of
Officers
grew
out
of
the
corruption
of
the
old
,
among
others
,
Villeroy
steps
in
to
be
Secretary
of
State
again
in
the
room
of
the
Bishop
of
Lusson
,
yet
was
the
King
willing
he
should
sit
still
at
the
Counsell
Table
;
and
Monsieur
de
Vignobles
brought
him
an
intimation
of
the
Kings
pleasure
to
that
purpose
:
But
the
Queen
Mother
retyring
from
Paris
to
Blois
,
he
chose
rather
to
go
with
his
old
Mistresse
,
then
stay
with
a
young
Master
as
the
pulse
of
the
Court
did
beat
then
;
By
some
ill
offices
that
were
done
'twixt
the
King
and
his
Mother
,
by
factious
spirits
,
many
jealousies
were
dayly
fomented
between
them
;
Hereupon
the
Bishop
of
Lusson
,
had
order
to
withdraw
himself
from
her
Court
;
so
he
retir'd
to
his
Priory
of
Caussay
,
but
that
distance
being
thought
not
sufficient
,
he
betook
himself
to
his
Bishoprick
at
Lusson
,
and
that
place
also
being
suspected
to
be
too
neer
,
he
was
sent
to
Avignon
the
Popes
Town
,
which
might
be
call'd
a
banishment
,
for
it
was
out
of
the
Dominion
of
France
.
Discontents
growing
higher
twixt
the
King
and
his
Mother
,
till
at
last
they
broak
out
into
a
War
,
and
there
being
Armies
on
both
sides
in
motion
,
Luynes
writ
a
Letter
to
the
Bishop
to
repaire
to
Angoulesme
,
to
which
Letter
there
was
a
Postscript
annex'd
all
of
the
Kings
own
hand
to
the
same
effect
.
The
Queen
Mother
was
fled
thither
from
the
Castle
of
Blois
,
and
by
means
of
the
Duke
of
Espernon
with
others
had
considerable
forces
a
foot
:
Here
was
a
brave
opportunity
offer'd
for
the
Bishop
to
shew
his
head-peece
in
atoning
matters
'twixt
the
Mother
and
the
Son
,
for
which
end
he
was
inordred
to
repaire
thither
:
He
negotiated
the
busines
so
succesfully
by
his
dextrous
addresses
,
and
flexaminous
strains
of
eloquence
that
he
took
away
the
inflamation
of
the
wound
,
and
so
made
it
easily
curable
:
A
Treaty
was
agreed
upon
,
and
the
Capitulations
being
drawn
he
brought
them
to
the
King
,
who
receiv'd
him
with
much
shew
of
grace
;
and
so
all
matters
were
accommoded
:
But
this
accommodation
did
not
heale
quite
and
consolidat
the
wound
,
for
it
had
not
search'd
it
to
the
bottome
,
therefore
it
began
to
fester
,
and
more
putrified
matter
broak
out
of
it
then
formerly
:
The
Mother
and
the
Son
take
up
armes
again
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Lusson
was
one
of
the
prime
Instruments
to
re-compose
the
busines
,
which
was
done
at
last
very
effectually
.
The
merit
of
these
high
services
got
him
a
Red
Hat
,
and
the
dignity
of
Cardinal
,
though
some
difficulties
,
and
many
delayes
interven'd
before
the
finall
dispatch
came
from
Rome
:
Then
was
he
chosen
Provisor
of
the
ancient
Colledge
of
Sorbon
;
where
he
procur'd
of
the
King
that
a
new
Chair
of
Controversie
should
be
erected
.
He
also
repair'd
and
much
beautified
that
Colledge
;
Then
,
upon
the
instance
,
and
by
the
advice
of
the
Queen
Mother
,
he
was
elected
Prime
Minister
of
State
,
and
Director
in
chief
under
the
King
of
all
matters
concerning
the
public
Government
of
the
Kingdome
,
so
he
came
to
be
call'd
the
Argos
of
France
.
The
first
great
action
that
was
performed
by
his
guidance
,
when
he
was
clim'd
to
this
Plenipotentiary
power
was
the
Mariage
with
England
;
the
Marquis
of
Vieu
ville
had
been
employ'd
in
this
great
busines
,
but
the
Cardinal
got
some
of
the
Capitulations
better'd
and
more
to
the
advantage
of
France
,
alledging
that
it
was
not
fit
his
Master
being
the
Eldest
Son
of
the
Church
should
have
conditions
inferiour
to
those
of
Spain
.
With
this
Match
with
England
,
there
was
an
alliance
also
made
about
the
same
time
with
Holland
for
a
summe
of
Money
.
These
were
the
two
first
Coups
d'
estat
,
stroaks
of
State
that
he
made
,
and
it
was
done
with
this
forecast
,
that
France
might
be
the
better
enabled
to
suppres
them
of
the
Religion
,
which
the
Cardinal
found
to
be
the
greatest
weaknes
of
that
Kingdom
:
Some
of
them
being
Pensioners
to
other
Princes
to
embroyle
France
upon
all
occasions
.
He
found
then
that
the
House
of
Austria
had
got
some
advantage
,
and
encrease
of
power
,
by
certain
holds
it
had
seiz'd
upon
in
the
Valtolin
;
He
adviseth
his
King
to
ligue
with
the
Venetian
and
the
Savoyard
,
which
he
did
and
so
spoil'd
the
design
of
the
Spaniard
that
way
.
The
King
being
told
that
upon
the
beheading
of
the
Count
of
Chalais
,
and
the
imprisonment
of
the
Marquis
of
Ornano
about
Monsieurs
Mariage
,
his
Cardinal
had
thereby
got
divers
enemies
,
he
appointed
him
a
band
of
Soldiers
for
his
guard
;
After
this
he
was
made
Super-Intendent
Generall
of
the
Marine
,
a
new
Office
,
and
such
,
that
there
was
never
any
of
the
like
latitud
of
power
erected
in
France
,
for
thereby
he
had
authority
to
supervise
not
onely
all
the
Sea
Ports
and
shipping
of
in
both
the
Seas
,
but
to
do
any
thing
that
might
cōduce
to
the
regulating
and
advance
of
Trade
:
so
he
fell
presently
to
work
,
and
fortified
Haure
de
grace
,
Brouage
,
the
Isle
of
Ré
,
Oleron
,
Verdun
,
with
divers
other
.
Afterwards
happen'd
the
Siege
of
Rochell
where
in
the
Kings
absence
he
was
made
General
a
while
,
and
that
famous
Sea
Dike
was
ascrib'd
to
his
invention
in
chief
,
after
fifteen
moneths
siege
the
town
was
reduc'd
,
having
bin
driven
to
the
utmost
extremities
of
want
,
as
to
eat
nefandous
meats
,
the
leather
of
Coches
which
serv'd
before
for
Instuments
of
pride
,
did
now
preserve
them
from
starving
;
at
last
they
petition'd
the
Cardinal
to
be
their
Intercessor
to
his
Majestie
for
them
,
who
got
them
more
favourable
conditions
then
was
expected
.
The
King
went
thence
to
Italy
with
the
same
Army
for
the
most
part
,
and
having
cross'd
the
Alps
,
he
took
the
passe
of
Susa
,
and
rais'd
the
siege
of
Casal
only
with
the
fame
of
his
Person
and
Armes
,
and
so
reliev'd
the
Duke
of
Mantova
,
having
had
besides
some
dispute
with
the
Duke
of
Savoy
about
his
passage
,
he
left
the
Cardinal
behind
to
see
all
things
settled
:
Who
returning
afterwards
to
France
found
the
King
in
Languedock
having
debell'd
almost
the
whole
body
of
them
of
the
Religion
,
but
the
Plague
being
hot
in
that
Province
,
he
went
to
Paris
,
and
left
his
Cardinal
to
perfect
the
work
,
which
he
did
at
Mountauban
,
which
was
the
last
Town
that
was
surrendred
,
and
so
may
be
said
to
have
bin
the
key
of
the
whole
work
.
Being
return'd
to
Paris
there
came
news
that
the
Duke
of
Savoy
abetted
by
Imperial
and
Catholic
armes
poursued
still
his
interests
against
the
Duke
of
Mantova
;
In
prejudice
as
was
pretended
,
of
the
late
Articles
'twixt
him
and
France
;
The
Cardinal
was
appointed
Generalissimo
of
two
Armies
,
wherewith
he
travers'd
the
Alps
again
,
took
the
Town
and
Castle
of
Pignerol
;
and
returning
to
Lion
,
to
give
account
of
his
service
he
found
the
King
sick
,
and
powerfull
enemies
at
Court
,
but
especially
he
found
the
Queen
Mother
averse
to
him
;
He
perceiv'd
the
faction
so
strong
against
him
,
that
he
fell
on
his
knees
before
the
King
desiring
that
he
would
please
to
dispense
with
his
attendance
any
more
at
Court
,
and
that
he
might
be
permitted
to
retire
to
his
devotions
and
the
functions
of
his
Ministery
;
the
King
being
now
indifferently
wel
recover'd
,
went
to
visit
him
the
next
day
,
and
absolutly
denied
him
leave
to
depart
the
Court
,
saying
,
There
was
no
reason
he
should
forsake
them
who
loved
him
,
to
humor
the
caprichios
of
those
that
did
not
love
him
.
The
Kings
Army
which
he
had
left
in
Italy
under
Schomberg
was
at
this
time
at
an
extreme
low
ebb
,
and
upon
point
of
mutining
if
not
disbanding
for
want
of
pay
,
and
there
was
scarce
one
thousand
pound
then
in
the
Kings
Coffers
;
yet
,
notwithstanding
the
branling
hazardous
stand
he
was
at
,
by
reason
of
the
Kings
sicknes
,
and
the
potent
combination
which
was
a
foot
,
and
banded
so
eagerly
against
him
,
he
,
of
his
own
store
,
sent
two
hundred
thousand
Franks
to
keep
life
in
the
Army
,
and
this
was
before
the
Kings
recovery
,
or
assurance
of
the
continuation
of
his
favor
.
He
was
afterwards
made
General
of
the
Order
of
the
Abbots
of
Premonstré
,
and
he
had
also
the
attribut
of
Eminence
given
him
,
which
was
solemnly
confirmed
by
Rome
,
to
distinguish
and
peculiarize
him
from
other
Cardinals
,
and
Princes
of
the
Church
:
nor
would
he
receive
any
Letters
,
or
speak
with
any
Ambassadors
unlesse
they
would
give
him
that
Title
:
The
Queen
Mother
utterly
misliking
his
aimes
of
policy
,
which
tended
to
put
the
Princes
,
her
children
,
together
by
the
eares
,
forsook
France
,
and
Monsieur
followed
her
.
He
return'd
with
a
considerable
strength
of
horse
,
and
Monmorency
,
the
popular'st
man
of
France
,
joyn'd
with
him
,
to
reform
the
State
,
and
to
ruine
the
Cardinal
,
who
was
us'd
to
call
the
said
Monmorency
his
son
,
but
they
miss'd
of
their
ayme
;
Afterwards
the
Count
of
Soissons
,
joyn'd
with
the
Duke
of
Bovillon
attempted
the
like
,
and
had
Soissons
liv'd
it
was
probable
they
might
have
done
something
,
for
they
had
utterly
routed
the
Kings
Army
,
but
Soissons
being
kill'd
,
it
quail'd
the
whole
plot
.
The
last
attempt
to
destroy
him
was
by
Monsieur
le
Grand
,
who
had
intelligence
with
the
Spaniard
,
but
it
was
detected
,
and
so
crush'd
in
the
shell
,
and
he
with
Monsieur
de
Thou
beheaded
.
There
were
also
divers
privat
attempts
upon
him
,
Alfeston
would
have
pistoll'd
him
,
Chavagnac
and
Barnard
would
have
poison'd
him
,
Gargan
and
Bouchard
,
who
were
reputed
Magitians
,
would
have
bewitch'd
him
,
but
they
had
all
ropes
for
their
rewards
:
so
nature
ran
out
her
course
in
him
without
violence
,
for
he
died
in
his
bed
,
and
at
his
house
in
Paris
about
the
dead
of
Winter
in
the
beginning
of
December
,
a
little
after
the
King
had
visited
him
,
and
bad
him
his
last
adieu
,
having
not
reach'd
58.
yeers
;
His
right
arme
began
to
mortifie
many
moneths
before
,
and
his
whole
body
was
grown
so
lanke
and
thin
as
it
look'd
like
an
Anatomy
.
He
principally
recommended
to
the
King
Cardinal
Iulio
Mazarini
,
to
whom
he
had
open'd
all
the
boxes
of
his
breast
,
together
with
Monsieur
Chauvigny
&
Noyer
,
advising
his
Majesty
to
steer
his
cours
by
their
Counsell
,
and
he
should
still
prosper
and
triumph
:
He
bequeath'd
his
body
to
the
Colledge
of
Sorbon
;
And
touching
his
estate
,
which
was
valued
at
neer
upon
sixty
millions
of
Franks
,
he
divided
it
to
sundry
Legacies
▪
he
gave
the
Marquis
of
Pont
de
Courlay
the
Duchy
of
Richelieu
together
with
the
government
of
Brouage
:
To
the
Marquis
of
Brezé
the
Duchy
of
Fronsac
estimated
at
an
hundred
thousand
Franks
yeerly
rent
,
together
with
the
government
of
Haure
de
grace
:
He
bequeath'd
to
the
Duchesse
of
Eguillon
his
House
at
Ruel
with
fifty
thousand
Franks
rent
.
He
gave
Monsieur
du
Plessis
Chinee
twenty
thousand
crowns
a
yeer
.
His
Cardinal
Palace
in
Paris
where
he
expir'd
he
bequeath'd
to
the
King
,
with
all
the
Plate
and
Housholdstuffe
thereunto
belonging
,
and
a
Jewel
valued
at
two
hundred
thousand
crowns
:
To
the
young
Dauphin
he
gave
his
Library
rated
at
fifty
thousand
crownes
:
To
every
one
of
his
Praetorian
soldiers
he
bequeath'd
two
hundred
crowns
apeece
,
and
preferr'd
them
all
for
a
guard
to
the
Dauphin
;
By
this
vast
estate
it
appears
that
though
he
was
so
active
in
his
Masters
busines
,
yet
he
did
not
neglect
his
own
,
so
that
the
Kings
service
was
not
the
sole
Center
of
his
endeavours
as
he
was
usd
to
say
often
.
Such
was
the
emigration
out
of
this
world
of
Armand
Iohn
du
Plessis
Cardinal
of
Richelieu
,
Duke
,
and
Peer
of
France
,
Knight
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
and
Super-Intendent
Generall
of
the
navigation
and
commerce
of
France
,
Principall
Minister
,
and
Director
in
chief
of
all
affairs
both
of
State
and
Warre
,
&c.
having
bin
thrice
General
,
and
once
Generalissimo
of
three
Royall
Armies
.
Questionlesse
he
was
a
man
had
a
rare
talent
,
and
rich
intellectualls
,
of
a
notable
vivacity
of
spirit
,
and
constancy
of
resolution
,
of
a
prompt
,
yet
profound
imagination
,
of
a
subtill
discours
,
yet
solid
judgement
,
(
things
which
seldome
meet
in
one
subject
under
that
Clime
)
of
pressing
and
powerfull
reason
,
and
a
tenacious
memory
,
in
so
much
that
all
the
faculties
of
his
soule
being
summond
to
consult
seriously
upon
any
businesse
,
they
were
enough
to
make
a
compleat
Senat
of
themselfs
.
Add
hereunto
that
he
had
an
admirable
gift
of
elocution
attended
with
state
and
gravity
,
and
very
swaying
as
it
went
along
:
Many
examples
could
be
produc'd
hereof
,
but
we
will
instance
in
three
only
;
In
a
Complement
,
in
a
Letter
,
and
in
an
Oration
of
his
,
which
may
serve
to
make
a
judgement
of
the
rest
:
For
the
first
,
when
he
had
receiv'd
the
Cardinals
Hat
from
Rome
,
he
attended
the
Queen
Mother
and
told
her
,
as
if
he
had
been
surpriz'd
with
a
kind
of
amazement
,
Madam
,
I
want
words
to
expresse
the
thankfulnes
of
my
heart
to
your
Majesty
,
all
that
I
can
say
,
is
,
that
I
will
spend
my
best
bloud
,
and
all
my
spirits
in
your
service
,
and
this
Scarlet
,
which
I
weare
by
your
goodnes
,
shall
make
me
always
remember
this
vow
.
For
the
second
,
when
the
Queen
mother
was
retir'd
to
the
Netherlands
out
of
a
high
displeasure
against
him
,
he
writ
to
her
this
ensuing
Letter
.
Madame
,
I
know
my
enemies
,
or
rather
the
enemies
of
this
State
,
not
contented
to
have
discredited
me
unto
your
Maiesty
,
do
endeavour
also
to
make
my
attendance
neere
the
King
,
to
be
suspected
;
as
if
my
neernes
to
his
Person
tended
to
remove
him
from
you
,
and
to
separat
what
God
and
nature
hath
so
closely
conjoyn'd
:
I
hope
by
the
goodnes
of
God
that
their
malice
will
be
discoverd
,
that
my
cariage
will
be
shortly
justified
,
and
that
my
innocence
shall
triumph
over
calumny
.
Neverthelesse
Madame
,
I
shall
account
my self
still
infortunat
,
in
that
I
am
made
to
cease
from
pleasing
your
Majesty
,
and
life
it self
is
irksome
unto
me
in
the
state
I
am
in
,
finding
my self
depriv'd
of
the
honor
of
your
favor
,
and
of
that
esteem
which
I
valued
more
then
all
the
greatnes
of
the
earth
,
and
as
those
which
I
possesse
proceed
from
your
liberall
hand
,
so
I
cast
and
prostrat
them
all
at
your
Royall
feet
.
Excuse
Madame
your
own
work
and
creature
,
whatsoever
shall
proceed
from
your
Majesties
pleasure
,
shall
be
receiv'd
by
me
without
murmuring
,
and
accepted
with
a
thousand
thanks
.
But
Madame
,
out
of
that
piety
which
is
inhaerent
in
you
,
be
pleased
to
spare
the
purple
of
the
Church
wherewith
you
have
adorn'd
me
,
which
will
lose
its
esteeme
and
lustre
,
if
your
Majesty
cast
upon
it
such
black
spots
:
How
can
it
,
be
that
the
most
oblig'd
of
men
,
should
prove
the
most
ingratefull
?
And
that
my
conscience
,
my
first
inclination
,
and
interest
binding
me
to
your
service
,
I
should
now
separat
my self
from
it
,
and
thereby
draw
upon
my self
the
name
of
Traitor
to
the
best
and
greatest
Queen
upon
Earth
?
This
,
Madame
,
well
consider'd
should
absolve
me
from
all
crime
,
and
free
me
from
all
suspition
before
your
Majesties
tribunal
,
where
I
am
almost
condemn'd
without
being
heard
:
I
appeal
not
from
it
,
in
regard
of
the
perfect
obedience
I
beare
to
your
will
,
I
only
blame
my
misfortune
,
but
will
not
dispute
with
my
Soverain
Mistresse
,
nor
ask
reason
of
her
for
what
is
pass'd
,
nor
do
I
intend
to
make
use
of
the
Kings
favour
,
or
any
ministers
of
his
,
or
of
the
remembrance
of
my
former
services
,
against
the
bent
of
your
indignation
:
the
very
thoughts
hereof
would
be
a
crime
,
and
opposit
to
my
hopes
,
which
are
to
find
glory
in
fidelity
,
and
safety
in
innocence
:
I
desire
lesse
to
dragg
my
fortune
in
France
,
or
to
cary
it
to
Rome
,
to
see
more
lamentable
ruines
then
mine
own
:
Wheresoever
your
Majesty
shall
be
,
if
I
be
not
permitted
accesse
,
it
will
be
death
unto
me
;
and
wheresoever
I
go
,
it
shall
be
to
go
out
of
the
world
;
yet
I
desire
for
my
reputes
sake
,
and
for
the
rank
I
hold
in
the
House
of
God
,
that
it
might
be
after
the
vindication
of
my
innocence
,
and
,
if
it
be
not
too
great
a
boldnesse
,
after
the
recovery
of
your
Majesties
favor
:
If
fortune
afford
me
this
,
I
shall
little
resent
my
going
out
of
the
Court
,
nor
out
of
the
world
,
because
I
die
a
thousand
times
a
day
,
since
your
Majesty
gives
out
,
that
I
am
not
the
same
,
I
was
,
which
is
Madame
,
Your
Majesties
most
humble
,
most
faithfull
,
and
most
obedient
servant
Armand
.
Card.
of
Richelieu
.
Concerning
the
third
which
discovers
more
then
any
thing
the
abilities
of
a
Minister
,
this
Oration
shall
serve
which
he
pronounc'd
in
the
great
Convention
of
Notables
,
a
new
Court
generated
of
the
discontinuance
of
the
old
Assembly
of
the
three
Estates
,
the
King
himself
sitting
there
in
Majesty
.
Sir
;
'T
is
needles
in
my
judgemetnt
to
represent
unto
this
Illustrious
Assembly
,
the
great
Actions
your
Majesty
hath
perform'd
within
this
yeer
,
as
well
in
regard
the
Lord
Keeper
hath
acquitted
himself
very
worthily
of
that
task
,
as
also
because
they
speak
cleerly
enough
of
themselfs
;
And
there
is
no
man
but
sees
that
God
hath
been
pleas'd
to
make
use
of
that
piety
,
prudence
and
courage
which
he
hath
infus'd
into
your
Majesty
,
to
work
those
advantages
to
France
in
so
small
a
time
,
which
some
held
impossible
to
be
done
in
an
age
:
Nor
is
there
any
need
to
let
them
know
the
vast
expence
these
high
actions
have
caried
with
them
,
because
every
one
knows
,
that
in
matters
of
State
,
great
atchievements
cannot
be
done
with
little
charge
,
and
the
numerous
troupes
of
Combatants
which
your
Majesty
hath
bin
enforc'd
to
entertain
at
one
time
in
sundry
places
,
as
well
within
,
as
without
your
Kingdom
,
afford
understanding
men
occasion
to
magnifie
your
power
,
as
well
as
to
admire
your
vast
expence
.
There
is
not
any
amongst
you
my
Lords
,
who
knows
not
with
what
purenesse
this
treasure
hath
bin
issued
,
and
what
necessity
there
was
of
it
;
the
probity
of
those
who
manag'd
the
finances
justifieth
the
first
point
:
and
the
oppression
of
the
Allies
of
this
Crown
,
and
the
rebellion
of
them
,
who
are
Traytors
to
God
in
this
Kingdom
do
sufficiently
assert
the
truth
of
the
second
:
the
desseins
of
some
having
bin
no
sooner
projected
,
then
form'd
,
to
interrupt
his
Majesty
in
reducing
France
to
her
first
splendor
:
In
so
much
that
this
State
considering
the
utility
she
receives
thereby
together
with
her
Allies
,
have
more
cause
to
approve
,
then
complain
of
these
charges
.
Matters
,
thanks
be
to
God
,
are
now
at
a
good
point
,
but
one
cannot
promise
,
that
they
will
continue
so
alwaies
,
and
it
were
to
want
judgement
to
think
that
they
must
not
be
push'd
on
further
;
Of
necessity
this
Kingdom
must
be
left
expos'd
to
the
attempts
of
those
who
daily
meditat
the
abasing
,
if
not
the
ruine
thereof
,
or
there
must
be
means
found
to
secure
it
.
The
Kings
intentions
are
to
rule
it
so
,
that
his
government
may
equall
,
if
not
surpasse
any
time
pass'd
,
and
serve
for
an
example
for
the
future
.
The
marvailous
assistance
which
it
hath
pleased
God
to
afford
him
hitherto
,
when
his
affairs
were
in
the
most
deplor'd
case
,
gives
us
hope
that
he
will
still
persevere
:
Being
seconded
with
the
sage
counsels
of
the
Queen
his
Mother
,
with
the
concurrence
of
Monsieur
his
Brother
,
who
I
may
truly
say
is
so
fastned
to
his
Majesties
will
,
and
the
interest
of
the
State
,
that
nothing
can
separat
him
:
I
see
no
reason
at
all
to
doubt
of
it
,
since
none
but
God
Almighty
can
produce
things
of
nothing
,
therefore
to
come
to
so
good
ends
,
of
pure
necessity
,
either
the
ordinary
expences
of
the
Court
must
be
diminish'd
,
or
the
public
receits
augmented
,
or
perchance
both
must
be
done
.
It
is
not
fitting
you
'l
say
,
to
meddle
with
the
necessary
expences
,
for
the
conservation
of
the
State
,
the
very
thought
thereof
were
a
crime
:
yet
his
Majesty
preferring
the
public
before
the
privat
,
is
willing
out
of
his
own
motion
to
retrench
his
House
in
things
that
touch
his
own
Person
,
leaving
you
to
judge
how
the
rest
will
be
employ'd
.
One
might
think
that
such
retrenchments
were
not
seasonable
at
this
time
,
because
they
use
to
alienat
sometimes
the
affections
of
hearts
:
But
as
the
businesse
will
be
carried
,
great
and
small
shall
find
their
account
and
therein
their
satisfaction
;
the
most
austere
rules
seem
sweet
unto
the
most
tumultuous
spirits
,
when
they
have
,
not
in
appearance
only
but
in
reall
effect
,
the
public
good
and
incolumity
of
the
State
for
their
sole
aime
.
Sir
,
the
Queen
your
Mother
,
prayes
that
you
would
think
it
good
to
let
her
do
that
,
which
your
piety
towards
her
would
not
permit
you
as
much
as
to
think
of
your self
,
which
is
that
she
be
reduc'd
to
a
lower
revenue
then
she
had
in
the
late
Kings
time
;
it
being
true
that
she
had
not
better'd
her
condition
then
,
when
during
your
Majesties
minority
she
rais'd
the
fortunes
of
others
for
the
advantage
of
your
Majesties
service
.
Different
times
require
different
and
sometimes
contrary
courses
,
that
which
is
proper
at
one
time
may
be
impertinent
at
another
.
In
great
tempests
one
must
share
his
goods
with
the
Sea
,
to
lighten
the
Vessell
,
and
avoid
shipwrack
;
prudence
requires
it
,
that
the
whole
perish
not
,
for
casting
away
part
:
the
interest
of
particulars
obligeth
no
lesse
then
that
of
the
public
;
there
being
nothing
more
true
then
what
an
ancient
Prelat
of
this
Kingdome
said
,
That
't
is
impossible
the
riches
of
private
persons
can
subsist
when
the
State
it self
is
poore
and
necessitous
:
By
such
husbandry
the
ordinary
expences
may
be
lessen'd
by
three
millions
.
It
rests
then
to
augment
the
receits
,
not
by
such
impositions
that
the
people
are
not
able
to
beare
,
but
by
innocent
means
which
gives
place
to
the
King
to
continue
what
he
hath
practis'd
this
yeer
in
easing
his
subjects
by
diminution
of
tallies
.
To
this
effect
we
must
come
to
the
redemption
of
lands
,
to
Notaries
,
and
Registers
,
and
other
morgag'd
rights
which
amount
to
twenty
millions
,
a
thing
not
onely
profitable
but
just
and
necessary
.
If
this
dessein
take
effect
,
the
people
who
contribut
more
of
their
bloud
,
then
of
their
sweat
to
the
expences
of
the
State
,
shall
be
eas'd
.
If
there
be
need
to
resist
a
forren
Invasion
,
or
some
intestine
Insurrection
,
(
if
God
for
our
sins
permit
any
more
)
or
to
execute
a
dessein
that
's
profitable
and
glorious
for
the
State
,
want
of
money
will
be
no
losse
of
time
;
there
will
be
no
need
to
have
recours
to
extraordinary
wayes
,
to
Court
partisans
,
and
put
hands
in
their
purses
who
have
them
oft
times
full
of
the
Kings
moneys
:
One
shall
not
see
the
Soverain
Courts
busied
to
verifie
new
Edicts
:
Kings
shall
appear
no
more
upon
their
beds
of
justice
,
unlesse
it
be
to
undo
what
they
had
done
some
other
time
:
In
fine
,
all
things
shall
be
at
such
a
passe
,
that
hath
bin
long
since
desir'd
by
all
good
men
,
and
may
continue
so
whole
Ages
.
One
will
say
,
and
perchance
I
may
think
so
my self
,
that
't
is
easie
to
propose
good
desseins
,
and
as
pleasing
a
thing
to
speak
of
them
,
but
the
execution
is
difficult
:
Yet
neverthelesse
,
I
dare
speak
it
in
the
presence
of
the
King
,
having
well
thought
of
it
,
there
may
be
expedients
found
whereby
within
the
compas
of
six
yeers
one
may
see
the
end
and
perfection
of
this
work
:
The
King
,
my
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
hath
Assembled
you
expresly
,
to
search
and
find
them
out
,
to
examine
things
,
and
concur
with
him
in
resolution
,
his
Majesty
assuring
you
,
that
he
will
readily
and
religiously
execute
what
shall
be
determin'd
for
the
restauration
of
this
State
.
The
sick
sometimes
die
,
by
too
many
remedies
,
as
well
,
as
none
at
all
;
I
am
bound
to
tell
you
this
by
the
by
,
that
to
restablish
this
State
in
its
first
splendor
,
ther
's
no
need
of
many
Ordinances
,
but
real
executions
;
by
this
means
this
Assembly
may
close
more
speedily
,
though
she
may
be
perpetuall
for
the
fruit
she
shall
produce
:
few
words
and
many
deeds
will
testifie
both
the
good
intentions
,
and
judgements
of
them
whereof
she
is
compos'd
.
The
King
doubts
not
but
you
will
do
what
concerns
your
duty
in
this
occurrence
:
You
shall
know
by
the
event
that
his
Majesty
will
surpasse
himself
to
procure
the
good
of
his
Kingdome
,
the
glory
of
reviving
it
,
is
reserv'd
to
the
vertu
of
so
great
a
Prince
:
you
are
much
bound
to
his
goodnes
,
that
he
hath
vonchsaf'd
to
make
you
partakers
thereof
,
and
for
my
particular
I
should
be
much
bound
to
God
,
if
he
presently
took
me
out
of
the
world
upon
the
accomplishment
of
so
high
,
so
glorious
,
and
holy
a
work
.
As
thus
in
things
premeditated
,
so
in
ordinary
extemporall
discours
,
he
had
a
pressing
way
of
eloquence
,
and
exaggeration
of
speech
,
which
came
from
him
in
such
a
grave
serious
accent
that
it
mov'd
all
along
,
In
so
much
that
by
his
garb
he
seem'd
to
be
rather
an
Italian
then
French
;
seldom
or
never
would
reason
thrust
be
out
of
her
throne
by
any
impetuous
irregular
motions
;
seldome
would
his
passions
make
any
furious
sallies
;
the
greatest
fit
of
distemper
that
ever
was
discover'd
in
him
was
,
at
the
news
of
Wallesteyns
death
,
with
whom
he
had
held
intelligence
for
betraying
the
Imperial
Army
,
&
so
to
pave
a
way
for
France
to
ascend
the
Empire
:
He
would
easily
break
out
into
tears
,
and
tendernesse
of
spirit
.
The
prime
perfection
in
him
was
his
forecast
,
he
was
quick-sighted
and
Eagle-ey'd
in
every
corner
of
christendom
;
He
had
Ecchoes
in
every
Court
which
sounded
unto
him
all
the
affairs
of
State
,
in
so
much
that
he
knew
as
well
what
was
done
in
the
Junta's
of
Spain
,
in
the
Consistory
at
Rome
,
in
the
Cabinet
Counsels
of
England
and
Germany
,
as
if
he
had
bin
President
of
all
their
Counsels
;
He
had
his
beagles
abroad
every
where
,
which
were
excellent
to
find
the
sent
of
things
,
and
amongst
others
one
de
Lope
a
Jew
was
his
chiefest
Spy
:
A
little
before
the
revolt
of
Catalonia
and
Portugall
,
he
was
overheard
to
say
,
That
shortly
he
would
give
the
Spaniard
such
a
bone
to
gnaw
,
that
should
shake
all
the
teeth
in
his
head
:
And
touching
the
troubles
of
Scotland
and
England
he
was
us'd
to
say
,
't
was
easie
for
one
with
half
an
eye
to
have
foreseen
them
.
He
had
an
excellent
invention
to
devise
wayes
to
get
money
,
in
so
much
that
when
the
Cow
slack'd
,
he
had
a
way
to
presse
her
nipples
,
so
that
all
the
time
of
his
sway
the
King
never
wanted
Treasure
:
he
us'd
France
like
Prospero
Colunnas
Goose
,
pluck
the
old
feathers
and
the
new
ones
will
grow
the
faster
.
He
gave
her
likewise
all
sorts
of
Physick
,
sometimes
he
would
give
her
a
purge
,
sometimes
a
vomit
,
then
would
he
often
Phlebotomize
her
,
and
by
sweating
and
fluxing
do
away
the
peccant
humors
:
He
held
that
Principle
a
vain
thing
,
which
calls
the
peoples
hearts
,
the
Kings
best
Exchequer
:
He
verified
the
saying
,
that
La
France
est
un
beau
pré
,
qu'on
ton-doit
trois
fois
l'année
:
France
is
a
medow
,
which
if
you
do
mow
thrice
every
yeer
,
the
grasse
will
better
grow
.
Or
,
France's
like
your
beard
,
which
the
more
oft
you
shave
,
still
the
more
thick
and
plusher
hair
you
'l
have
.
He
thought
often
upon
that
Maxim
that
populus
aut
humiliter
servit
,
aut
superbè
dominatur
The
common
people
serve
slavishly
,
or
rule
proudly
;
they
are
like
fire
and
water
,
Good
servants
,
but
ill
Masters
;
therefore
he
kept
them
under
,
by
impositions
and
poverty
:
It
was
long
,
before
the
King
took
him
into
his
bosome
,
though
he
had
always
a
great
conceit
of
his
abilities
:
A
good
while
when
he
saw
him
come
to
Court
,
he
was
us'd
to
say
sometimes
,
Voycy
venir
le
Fourbe
,
Here
coms
the
cunning
Companion
;
but
afterwards
he
so
fastned
upon
his
affections
,
that
whereas
to
others
,
Kings
favours
are
but
as
Tenacies
at
wil
,
the
Kings
favor
to
him
might
be
call'd
a
stable
possession
,
't
was
not
as
brittle
glasse
,
but
as
firm
as
Diamond
:
Thus
for
twenty
yeers
together
he
sayl'd
securely
upon
the
Ocean
of
Royall
favour
,
which
useth
to
be
full
of
rocks
,
shelfs
,
and
Quicksands
,
but
he
knew
the
use
of
the
Compasse
so
well
,
that
he
avoyded
them
all
.
He
was
marvailously
constant
to
his
ends
,
assiduous
and
sagacious
,
whereby
he
took
off
from
the
Frenchman
that
reprochfull
saying
,
which
defines
him
to
be
an
animal
sine
praeterito
et
futuro
.
He
fitted
his
projects
so
aptly
to
the
means
,
and
the
means
to
the
ends
,
that
he
seldome
fayl'd
of
his
expectation
:
He
stird
all
the
Caecodaemons
of
hell
against
the
House
of
Austria
,
and
a
little
before
he
died
he
threatned
to
pull
the
King
of
Spain
out
of
his
Escuriall
;
such
was
his
forren
Intelligence
,
that
he
did
the
Enemy
more
mischief
by
discovering
of
his
Counsels
,
then
by
discomfiting
his
Armes
.
He
had
such
a
nimble
apprehension
,
that
he
oft
times
would
find
out
truth
at
first
search
,
the
prime
motions
of
his
thoughts
being
so
conclusive
,
that
what
discours
he
form'd
upon
them
afterward
,
was
but
an
approbation
of
the
first
Idaea
,
which
needed
no
addition
.
He
was
no
great
zelot
in
his
own
Religion
,
but
as
he
made
her
subservient
to
his
politicall
ends
;
nor
would
he
ever
employ
Jesuit
:
he
had
a
moderate
opinion
of
the
Reformists
,
which
made
him
to
be
call'd
the
Huguenot
Cardinal
.
And
he
would
have
often
in
his
mouth
this
saying
,
Maneat
moralis
benevolentia
,
inter
discordes
sententia
.
Yet
he
writ
a
book
against
them
,
which
is
extant
.
He
did
them
more
mischief
by
complementing
with
them
,
then
by
combating
;
He
was
overheard
to
say
that
he
had
taken
Rochell
in
despight
of
three
Kings
,
meaning
his
own
for
one
,
for
it
was
a
great
while
before
the
King
could
be
induc'd
to
that
expedition
:
Saint
Martin
was
beholding
to
him
for
his
cloake
,
els
the
English
had
taken
it
away
from
him
at
the
Isle
of
Ré
:
with
which
cloake
't
was
said
,
Saint
Martin
cover'd
him
afterwards
in
many
Battailes
.
He
was
a
great
cherisher
and
promoter
of
vertuous
men
,
and
would
find
them
out
wheresoever
they
were
,
in
so
much
that
he
gave
every
yeer
in
pensions
little
lesse
then
an
hundred
thousand
Franks
.
He
erected
two
Universities
,
one
in
Paris
call'd
L'Academie
de
beaux
Esprits
,
where
the
prime
wits
of
the
Kingdom
met
every
Munday
;
and
another
at
Richelieu
where
the
Mathematiques
and
other
Sciences
were
read
in
the
French
Language
:
the
difficulty
of
the
Latin
deterring
many
from
the
study
of
them
in
other
places
.
He
did
so
oblige
all
the
wits
of
the
Kingdom
,
that
they
strove
who
should
magnifie
him
most
;
and
there
were
never
such
hyperbolicall
expressions
of
any
man
and
not
without
some
mixture
of
profanenes
,
which
shews
that
there
is
no
Inquisition
in
France
.
Some
said
,
That
God
Almighty
might
put
the
government
of
the
world
into
his
hands
:
That
France
in
God
,
and
the
Cardinals
hands
were
too
strong
:
that
,
What
the
soule
was
to
the
body
,
the
same
he
was
to
France
.
Si
foret
hic
nullus
,
Gallia
nulla
foret
.
Some
appropriat
,
the
reduction
of
the
Rochellers
soly
to
him
,
therefore
to
sooth
him
,
one
French
Chronicler
writes
that
in
the
taking
of
that
Town
Neither
the
King
nor
God
Almighty
himself
had
a
share
in
the
action
,
but
the
Cardinal
himself
.
Thereupon
another
made
this
Distich
.
Richelii
adventu
portae
patuere
Rupellae
,
Christo
infernales
ut
patuere
fores
.
The
gates
of
Rochell
op'd
to
Richelieu
,
As
those
of
Hell
to
Christ
asunder
flew
.
Then

Amongst

were

there
was
one
call'd
the

,
which
in
regard
't
is
a
new
way
of
fancy
compos'd
by
a
Person
of
quality
,
and
very
facetious
,
I
will
insert
here
;
The
Author
makes
him
to
employ
Ambassadors
extraordinary
not
onely
to
Christian
Princes
,
but
other
Pagan
Potentates
to
enter
into
a
Confederacy
with
them
as
followeth
.
Master
Iohn
Sirmond
shall
take
the
qualitie
of
the
Duke
of
Sabin
,
and
of
the
Marquis
of
Cleonville
;
he
shall
clap
a
sword
at
his
side
,
and
take
for
his
train
five
or
six
of
the
Gazetic
Academy
,
which
we
have
made
hardy
lyers
:
Above
all
things
they
shall
be
instructed
in
the
prayses
of
my
Lord
the
Cardinal
Duke
,
and
to
that
effect
they
shall
cun
by
heart
all
the
Poems
,
Epigrams
,
Acrostiques
,
Anagrams
,
Sonnets
,
and
other
peeces
made
by
the
Latin
and
French
Poets
of
the
Times
,
which
they
shall
disperse
up
and
down
gratis
as
they
passe
,
but
for
fear
that
this
Merchandize
be
not
forestall'd
,
and
this
false
money
cryed
down
,
we
command
the
said
Ambassador
to
depart
as
soon
as
possibly
he
can
,
because
our
affairs
do
presse
us
,
&
we
may
chance
take
our
measures
short
in
regard
Duke
Charles
,
terming
himself
Duke
of
Lorain
,
is
nimble
because
of
the
nourture
he
hath
had
in
France
;
and
the
Germans
,
being
now
tyr'd
with
the
troubles
we
have
brought
in
amongst
them
may
end
the
war
;
the
Spaniard
also
resents
our
injuries
more
then
ever
,
and
those
Devils
the
Crabats
advance
towards
our
Frontiers
.
The
Ambassador
shall
speak
neither
good
nor
ill
of
the
King
,
because
his
Majesty
knowing
nothing
of
this
Ambassy
may
chance
disadvow
it
:
He
shall
accommode
himself
to
the
beleef
of
all
Princes
,
Republiques
,
and
people
,
and
shall
make
semblance
to
be
of
the
Religion
or
Sect
of
them
with
whom
he
is
to
treat
;
He
shall
extoll
the
prayses
of
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
,
he
shall
call
him
a
visible
God
,
the
tutelar
Angel
of

the
Spirit
that
moves
the
heavens

,
the
Phoenix
of
the
earth
who
never
had
,
nor
is
like
to
have
his
equall
,
&c.
If
he
find
that
it
be
taken
ill
that
we
have
injur'd
all
the
Princes
of
Christendom
,
he
shall
study
some
reasons
to
make
them
digest
all
:
If
he
find
perhaps
that
any
books
have
been
printed
in
Flanders
against
my
Lord
the
Cardinal
,
he
shall
avouch
that
they
are
abominable
,
and
to
be
burnt
by
the
hangman
,
if
he
speak
with
any
that
detest
Magic
,
he
shall
assure
them
that
these
books
are
full
of
such
stuff
;
If
he
find
that
Champagnie
trembles
,
and
that
there
is
a
dessein
to
shake
off
the
yoak
in
Lorain
and
Alsatia
,
he
shall
swear
and
all
his
followers
besides
,
that

Lord
the
Cardinal

That

,
and
that
there
is

,

&
fresh
water
which
cannot
corrupt
to
nourish
them
for
ten
yeers
:
That
there
are
engins
which
will
reduce
instantly
to
ashes
any
Town
that
resists
;
that
there
be
Vessels
that
can
sayle
between
two
waters
,
and
that
can
go
under
other
ships
to
blow
them
up
into
the
Air
,
or
sink
them
:
That
he
hath
found
out
Archimedes
his
griping
irons
,
whose
vertue
is
to
grapple
a
ship
a
thousand
paces
off
:
In
fine
,
my
Lord
,
the
Ambassador
shall
omit
nothing
that
may
give
security
to
Champagnie
,
and
strike
a
terror
into
Lorain
,
and
he
shall
cary
the
busines
so
,
that
the
same
arguments
may
serve
to
raise
fear
and
hopes
.
He
shall
passe
as
speedily
as
he
can
by
Strasburg
,
Frankfort
,
Nuremberg
and
other
Imperiall
Towns
,
which
have
not
so
much
knowledge
of
the
artifice
of
my
Lord
the
Cardinal
Duke
,
and
if
he
thinks
fitting
he
shall
conceale
his
quality
,
and
disadvow
his
Countrey
,
he
may
say
he
is
an
Englishman
,
to
which
effect
he
shall
make
use
of
his
Latin
,
and
counterfeit
as
well
as
he
can
the
English
accent
.
If
he
is
bound
to
enter
into
the
states
of
the
Duke
of
Saxe
,
and
of
the
Marquis
of
Brandenburg
,
he
shall
passe
as
speedily
as
possibly
he
can
,
because
those
wretches
have
half
spoild
our
mystery
,
in
making
their
own
peace
,
then
,
when
we
thought
to
have
made
them
perish
with
us
;
and
since
they
would
not
do
so
,
they
have
rendred
themselfs
unworthy
of
the
good
grace
of
the
most
eminent
amongst
mortals
,
and
let
them
be
assured
that
the
Spirit
which
moves
the
stars
will
cast
ill
influences
upon
them
.
Then
shall
he
passe
to
Poland
to
find
the
King
,
whom
he
shall
salute
in
the
name
of
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
,
he
shall
assure
him
of
his
friendship
,
and
swear
unto
him
that
he
will
hold
good
correspondence
with
him
,
provided
that
he
enter
in
person
with
his
forces
into
Hungary
and
Germany
to
make
war
against
his
Uncle
:
It
is
here
that
my
Lord
Ambassador
shall
display
all
his
eloquence
to
shew
that
to
gain
further
security
and
further
encrease
of
power
ther
's
no
kinred
,
and
that
amongst
Soverains
the
Soverain
law
ought
to
be
that
which
force
of
armes
gives
the
weaker
.
The
expedients
requir'd
to
ruine
the
House
of
Austria
,
shall
be
propos'd
in
this
maner
:
That
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
doth
promise
ten
millions
of
gold
to
the
King
of
Poland
,
assuring
him
of
the
Imperiall
Crown
:
If
he
saith
that
we
have
no
Electors
on
our
side
since
the
Archbishop
of
Triers
was
so
unluckily
taken
away
:
my
Lord
Ambassador
shall
assure
him
,
that
we
are
so
strong
the
t'other
side
of
the
Rhine
,
that
we
shall
constrain
the
three
Ecclesiastic
Electors
,
and
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
to
do
whatsoever
we
please
.
There
is
no
question
for
that
,
but
to
afford
us
means
by
a
notable
diversion
to
settle
our
Kingdom
of
Austrasia
,
according
to
the
Cart
that
Bertius
made
to
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
,
and
which
is
always
at
the
ruel
of
his
bed
.
It
is
an
Empire
that
's
design'd
for
his
Eminence
,
who
scorns
to
be
call'd
Cardinal
Duke
,
and
would
be
King
at
any
rate
.
This
Kingdom
of
Austrasia
contains
all
the
Country
'twixt
the
Mose
and
the
Rhin
,
to
begin
at
the
French
County
,
and
to
end
at
the
source
of
both
the
Rivers
.
We
have
already
Lorain
,
Alsatia
,
Monbeliard
,
some
part
of
the
lower
Palatinat
,
Mentz
,
and
something
of
Triers
;
we
have
when
we
will
the
French
Conté
,
Luxemberg
,
Liege
,
Colen
,
Iuliers
,
Cleves
,
and
Gueldres
;
we
shall
agree
well
enough
with
the
Hollander
for
what
they
hold
,
and
so
we
shall
make
a
Kingdom
for
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
of
160.
Leagues
long
,
rich
and
well
peopled
,
which
shall
be
given
in
mariage
to
the
most
accomplish'd
Lady
on
earth
the
Neece
of
that
spirit
which
moves
the
heavens
,
who
calls
her self
Madame
de
Combalet
.
My
Lord
Ambassador
may
shew
her
picture
to
the
King
of
Poland
,
and
if
he
likes
her
,
he
may
promise
him
for
a
dowry
the
Kingdom
of
Austrasia
,
the
Duchy
of
Richelieu
,
thirty
places
more
in
France
,
and
ten
millions
of
good
gold
without
the
false
money
of
the
same
allay
which
we
gave
the
Swed
.
If
the
King
of
Poland
say
,
that
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
cosend
the
last
King
his
father
,
and
that
in
the
yeer
1630.
Charnassé
came
in
the
behalfe
of
his
Eminence
to
treat
of
a
Truce
'twixt
the
Kings
of
Poland
and
Swethland
,
to
give
thereby
opportunity
to
the
latter
to
enter
into
Pomerland
,
and
thence
to
Germany
,
as
it
appears
by
the
Letter
and
Instructions
of
his
Eminence
in
the
moneth
of
Iuly
of
the
same
yeer
:
If
it
be
alleg'd
that
the
same
time
that
Charnassé
treated
of
these
things
in
Poland
and
Swethland
,
Cormolin
was
in
Moscovie
for
his
Eminence
,
to
invite
the
Russe
against
the
Pole
which
he
effected
;
If
these
people
,
which
are
so
simple
as
to
give
credit
to
any
thing
,
do
accuse
us
of
perfidiousnes
,
he
must
then
disclaime
the
actions
of
Cormolin
,
and
swear
that
he
had
his
head
chop'd
off
for
making
the
Muscovit
arme
against
Poland
.
If
my
Lord
Ambassador
advance
nothing
in
Poland
,
where
it
's
likely
we
are
too
well
known
,
he
shall
go
to
Russia
,
and
let
him
take
heed
that
the
Barbarians
treat
him
not
ill
among
those
woods
:
He
shall
go
streight
habited
like
an
Englishman
or
a
Hollander
to
Mosco
to
find
out
the
Emperour
,
to
tell
him
the
reasons
which
hindred
him
to
send
in
the
yeer
1633.
the
supply
of
men
and
money
which
his
Eminence
had
promis'd
him
,
and
that
the
Turk
was
not
made
to
enter
into
Poland
as
the
Basha
of
Buda
made
his
Eminence
beleeve
:
He
shall
propound
that
if
he
please
to
break
the
treaty
of
Peace
with
Poland
,
that
Prince
shall
be
engaged
far
in
Germany
:
Besides
my
Lord
Ambassador
notwithstanding
any
denial
shall
sweare
that
the
party
is
made
and
tyed
already
,
and
so
the
Moscovit
shall
have
a
brave
time
of
it
in
Poland
.
If
these
savages
cry
out
,
that
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
is
the
cunning'st
among
mortals
,
and
that
he
caus'd
the
Moscovit
to
lose
his
repute
before
Smolensko
where
they
were
beaten
like
so
many
dogs
which
made
them
part
with
two
Provinces
,
and
make
a
dishonorable
Peace
;
If
they
add
that
the
Turk
will
attempt
nothing
on
Poland
because
of
the
knowledge
the
Gran
Signor
hath
of
the
generosity
of
that
invincible
King
,
then
my
Lord
Ambassador
shall
withdraw
,
for
fear
he
receive
some
affront
.
We
do
not
judge
it
necessary
that
my
Lord
Ambassador
go
back
to
Buda
to
treat
with
the
Basha
,
to
make
him
surprise
some
places
in
Hungary
,
his
Predecessor
having
had
his
head
chopt
off
for
having
enterpriz'd
some
things
against
the
intentions
of
the
great
Turk
,
and
for
receiving
the
moneys
we
sent
him
;
It
may
be
feared
that
he
who
commands
at
present
may
command
two
of
his
Janizaries
to
put
my
Lord
Ambassador
on
his
back
and
to
give
him
an
hundred
stroaks
with
a
Bulls
pizzle
upon
his
belly
,
as
Monsieur
de
Saney
was
us'd
in
Constantinople
for
a
peece
of
roguery
he
did
.
Besides
we
hope
the
great
Turk
will
break
the
peace
with
Poland
,
and
the
truce
with
the
Emperour
,
to
which
purpose
we
have
employ'd
Monsieur
de
Thou
to
Constantinople
,
whither
he
hath
caried
provision
to
make
that
great
Army
the
Turke
hath
at
Sea
to
descend
into
Sicily
and
Naples
,
or
to
Malta
;
he
hath
also
in
charge
to
interpose
for
a
peace
'twixt
the
Turk
and
the
Persian
,
and
to
unite
them
if
he
can
that
they
may
destroy
Christendom
.
We
leave
it
to
the
discretion
of
my
Lord
Ambassador
whether
he
see
the
Vayvod
of
Transylvania
,
but
if
he
resolve
to
go
thither
,
he
shall
represent
unto
him
that
the
whole
earth
wonders
that
he
attempts
nothing
against
the
Emperour
,
he
shall
exhort
him
to
imitat
his
predecessor
the
valiant
Bethlem
Gabor
,
and
tell
him
that
all
the
good
Houses
of
France
have
his
pourtrait
in
their
Galleries
,
with
that
of
the
King
of
Swed
,
and
that
his
Highnes
should
do
well
to
send
also
his
in
doing
some
act
of
courage
;
If
he
say
that
he
hath
an
alliance
with
the
Emperour
,
and
friendship
with
Hungary
,
and
that
for
a
Picture
he
will
not
hazard
the
Originall
,
in
this
case
the
Lord
Ambassador
is
to
withdraw
himself
hansomly
.
Then
shall
he
enter
Tartary
where
't
is
probable
we
shall
manage
our
busines
better
,
because
that
people
know
us
not
so
well
,
withall
they
are
fitter
for
our
turn
,
in
regard
they
place
all
right
,
in
Armes
as
we
have
hitherto
done
:
That
they
stay
not
long
in
one
place
,
like
the
most
Eminent
of
mortals
,
my
Lord
Ambassador
shall
go
visit
Chamocublay
the
great
Cham
,
wheresoever
he
be
.
He
shall
not
wonder
at
that
faire
Palace
of
Marble
,
Porphiry
,
and
Jasper
which
hath
half
a
league
in
every
corner
;
He
shall
esteem
it
,
but
not
in
such
a
maner
but
that
his
Eminence
hath
Houses
which
approch
in
some
kind
those
of
Cambalu
:
Above
all
things
the
Duke
of
Sabin
shall
take
heed
that
he
pull
off
his
hat
very
low
before
the
great
Cham
;
he
must
remember
that
Dracula
caus'd
three
Turbans
to
be
nail'd
to
the
Turks
Ambassadours
heads
,
which
drive
their
Embassie
out
of
their
braines
.
He
shall
tell
the
gran
Cham
that
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
is
desirous
to
keep
good
quarter
and
correspondence
with
him
,
and
so
shall
present
unto
him
his
Credentiall
Letters
;
and
that
't
is
fitting
his
great
Tartarian
greatnes
should
do
some
gallant
thing
,
the
Field
being
now
open
for
him
in
regard
of
the
Cowardise
of
the
Transylvanian
,
and
the
affairs
of
Poland
with
the
Swed
,
and
of
the
troubles
'twixt
the
Emperour
and
some
of
his
Vassals
,
in
so
much
that
't
is
easie
to
invade
the
estates
of
these
three
Princes
,
as
also
to
restrain
the
Turk
whom
we
have
a
long
time
engag'd
in
armes
against
the
Christians
.
If
the
gran
Cham
,
who
is
a
Christian
though
of
the
Greek
Church
,
doth
imagin
that
by
this
last
article
we
are
enemies
to
Iesus
Christ
,
the
Duke
of
Sabin
must
endevour
to
perswade
him
,
that
Religion
is
but
the
Republiques
servant
,
and
't
will
be
expedient
to
translate
for
him
a
book
entituled
the
Catholic
of
State
compos'd
by
Monsieur
Ferrier
,
if
he
beleeve
it
not
,
then
the
Ambassadour
shall
labour
to
gain
by
promise
of
vast
sums
the
Governors
of
the
twelve
Provinces
who
are
the
principall
Counsellors
,
and
represent
unto
them
that
they
are
within
a
Countrey
too
subject
to
thunder
,
snows
,
and
sudden
changes
,
in
so
much
that
oft
times
one
shall
feel
the
foure
seasons
of
the
yeer
in
one
only
day
,
whereas
in
Hungary
and
Austria
there
is
for
the
most
part
a
pleasant
temperature
,
and
that
excellent
Wines
grow
there
.
In
regard
that
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
hath
a
curious
spirit
,
and
that
he
desires
all
the
rarities
of
the
world
to
embellish
his
House
,
Gardens
and
courts
,
the
Ambassador
shall
procure
from
some
Garden
in
Tartary
the
Plant
Boraneth
,
which
is
like
a
sheep
,
and
eates
round
about
him
all
the
hearbs
and
grasse
,
so
that
there
may
be
no
need
of
a
Gardner
to
make
clean
the
circle
of
his
Courts
;
And
that
would
serve
for
an
excellent
Emblem
,
to
shew
what
his
Eminence
hath
done
to
all
his
neighbours
in
Richelieu
,
Paris
and
other
places
:
He
is
also
desirous
to
find
out
all
the
strange
Birds
and
animals
that
can
be
had
,
being
resolv'd
to
make
a
faire
lower
court
in
the
Horse
Market
,
which
he
hath
clos'd
within
Paris
,
together
with
the
Suburbs
of
Saint
Honoré
,
which
hath
cost
the
public
at
least
a
million
of
gold
:
The
Ambassador
shall
also
cause
a
good
number
of
those
Tartarian
Hens
to
be
bought
,
which
in
lieu
of
feathers
are
cover'd
with
black
skins
,
and
lay
certain
egges
which
are
purgatif
,
whereof
his
Eminence
hath
much
need
to
mitigate
his
heat
,
and
clense
the
ordures
of
his
blood
.
When
the
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
have
taken
order
for
all
these
rarities
,
he
shall
embarque
himself
for
Cambalu
,
to
go
for
China
,
he
shall
stay
a
while
to
observe
the
stupendous
wall
that
is
twixt
Her
and
Tartary
;
he
shall
take
all
the
dimensions
of
the
wall
very
exactly
,
and
send
a
survey
thereof
to
his
Eminence
;
that
,
if
need
be
,
he
may
raise
such
another
in
his
Kingdom
of
Austrasia
;
and
that
,
having
already
in
his
hands
all
the
Ports
and
Havens
of
France
,
he
may
also
erect
such
a
wall
from
Calais
to
Bayon
,
and
because
he
may
want
no
workmen
,
he
hath
a
purpose
to
employ
all
those
that
shall
be
found
to
speak
ill
of
him
to
finish
the
work
.
Then
the
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
embark
himself
upon
the
great
Chanel
that
goes
to
Peguin
,
the
chief
City
of
China
,
and
so
shall
send
notice
of
his
arrivall
to
the
Emperour
:
In
his
audience
he
shall
entitle
him
,
Son
to
Apollo
,
a
Lion
crown'd
in
the
throne
of
the
world
,
and
King
of
thirty
two
Realmes
:
He
shall
say
that
of
that
people
whom
they
call
Caffres
,
or
Spaniards
,
attempting
to
ravish
him
of
these
faire
Titles
,
and
having
the
Lion
in
his
Scutcheon
,
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
not
enduring
that
this
wrong
should
be
done
his
Majesty
,
sends
to
offer
him
his
power
,
and
to
propose
him
a
way
how
to
be
reveng'd
upon
the
Caffres
in
the
East
and
West
Indies
,
specially
to
take
from
them
their
Mines
of
gold
and
sylver
.
Having
visited
all
the
Kings
of
the
East
,
my
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
return
by
the
road
which
Alexander
the
Great
took
to
enter
into
the
Indies
:
And
in
regard
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
is
very
curious
in
moveables
and
other
exquisit
things
for
the
adornment
of
his
Houses
,
my
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
procure
what
may
be
possibly
had
for
that
service
;
He
must
try
whether
in
the
ancient
Town
of
Tazila
,
there
be
left
any
old
peeces
of
Porus
made
by
Zeuxis
,
Apelles
,
Polignot
,
or
Euphranor
:
He
shall
endevour
also
to
bring
some
of
those
savage
Asses
that
are
neer
the
River
Hyphasis
,
which
have
a
horn
in
the
forehead
,
that
his
Eminence
may
make
his
entry
upon
one
of
them
into
his
Kingdom
of
Austrasia
,
and
then
put
her
to
breed
in
his
stables
at
Mirebalais
;
He
shall
also
endevour
to
enchant
by
Scarlet
colour
,
and
letters
of
gold
certain
Dragons
,
which
are
in
that
Countrey
,
and
to
that
effect
he
shall
cary
that
robe
of
red
Sattin
embroder'd
with
gold
,
which
the
Cardinal
of
Lion
wore
,
then
,
when
he
beleeved
himself
to
be
God
the
Father
.
If
we
had
a
dozen
of
those
Dragons
we
might
draw
a
great
advantage
for
the
security
of
his
Eminencies
Person
,
because
they
say
that
in
their
heads
there
be
certain
stones
found
like
that
which
made
Gyges
invisible
.
The
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
inform
himself
also
at
Paruca
,
if
the
Inhabitants
do
yet
understand
the
Language
of
Beasts
,
which
would
be
advantagious
to
his
Eminence
because
he
daily
hears
multitudes
whom
he
hath
transform'd
to
simple
animals
.
My
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
be
carefull
to
informe
himself
of
the
Indian
Brachmans
,
and
know
whether
they
are
such
great
Magicians
as
they
are
reported
to
be
;
If
they
are
so
,
he
shall
confer
with
them
,
and
learn
of
them
,
which
way
to
turn
those
strong
places
his
Eminence
holds
into
inchanted
Castles
,
if
he
be
constrain'd
to
retire
to
any
of
them
;
To
this
purpose
he
shall
learn
what
were
the
enchantments
of
those
Philosophers
who
overcame
the
Egipeans
when
they
assaulted
them
,
and
made
them
leave
behind
them
up
and
down
the
Rocks
the
pourtrait
of
their
ill-favour'd
faces
,
ugly
beards
,
and
double
nayles
.
If
the
Lord
Ambassadour
finds
that
he
cannot
do
our
busines
with
these
kind
of
Philosophers
because
they
are
too
austere
&
peaceful
,
he
shall
find
out
another
Sect
call'd
the
Oxidraques
,
who
are
Philosophers
which
use
to
discompose
the
humours
of
men
,
and
make
them
rush
out
every
where
into
war
,
such
are
most
fit
for
our
purpose
;
If
my
Lord
Ambassadour
cannot
dive
into
their
mysteries
,
he
must
deboush
one
of
them
,
and
promise
to
make
him
compagnon
of
the
Reverend
Father
Ioseph
,
who
is
already
vers'd
in
some
of
the
Maximes
of
this
goodly
Society
,
and
useth
to
sow
war
every
moneth
,
that
he
may
gather
something
all
the
yeer
long
.
He
must
also
make
an
exact
research
for
the
curious
books
of
Metagenes
,
wherein
he
teacheth
how
to
compound
a
beuverage
whereby
to
make
a
judiciary
Astrologer
,
and
take
the
Circle
of
the
seven
Planets
,
which
knowledge
would
be
very
usefull
for
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
to
foresee
what
will
become
of
him
,
and
to
be
able
the
better
to
prevent
his
enemies
;
for
the
Europaean
Astrologers
have
cousen'd
him
in
divers
praedictions
,
specially
in
that
of
the
ruine
of
the
House
of
Austria
,
and
in
the
translation
of
the
Empire
;
They
had
also
assur'd
him
that
in
such
a
yeer
he
should
be
Pope
,
and
in
such
a
yeer
King
of
Austrasia
.
The
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
try
to
get
the
Beast
Marticora
which
is
of
a
red
colour
,
and
hath
the
head
of
a
man
lancing
out
sharpe
prickles
from
behind
:
The
spirit
which
moves
the
stars
shall
take
this
for
his
Crest
.
The
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
not
faile
to
enquire
if
it
be
possible
to
recover
the
pourtrait
of
the
Great
Talamoque
,
or
that
huge
Galeasse
,
which
the
Egiptiens
sent
two
thousand
yeers
since
to
the
Indian
Seas
,
because
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
would
build
the
like
,
having
already
cut
down
a
good
part
of
the
Forests
of
Britany
,
to
make
such
an
Engine
that
may
be
able
to
crush
the
English
Ships
,
by
being
higher
deck'd
then
the
tops
of
their
Masts
;
It
shall
be
call'd
the
Great
Armand
,
which
shall
be
able
to
swallow
all
the
Bottomes
on
the
Ocean
:
whereon
the
Picture
of
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
shall
be
put
,
who
cannot
live
but
amongst
waves
,
amongst
troubles
and
tossings
and
tumblings
,
besides
he
fears
nothing
more
then
the
earth
.
Then
shall
the
Lord
Ambassadour
passe
by
the
Persian
Gulph
,
and
then
to
the
red
Sea
,
and
so
through
the
Deserts
of
Lybia
,
he
shall
enter
into
Egypt
,
and
so
advance
to
Ethiopia
to
see
Prester
Iohn
;
He
shall
endevour
to
perswade
him
that
he
being
of
the
Race
of
the
Q.
of
Sheba
,
he
ought
to
have
a
curiosity
to
come
to
hear
the
wisdom
of
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
,
who
knows
more
then
Solomon
.
If
my
Lord
Ambassadour
passe
by
Fez
and
Morocco
,
he
shall
endevour
to
incite
them
also
against
the
Spaniard
.
When
his
Excellence
the
Duke
of
Sabin
,
Ambassadour
extraordinary
for
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
to
all
the
Great
Monarques
of
the
World
,
shall
be
return'd
to
Christendom
,
he
shall
advertise
all
Princes
as
he
passeth
along
,
that
his
Eminence
is
resolv'd
there
shall
be
no
Peace
in
Europe
,
specially
'twixt
France
and
the
House
of
Austria
(
howsoever
that
there
may
be
a
way
given
for
Treaties
to
amuse
the
world
)
untill
both
parties
become
equall
in
power
,
therefore
as
he
shall
passe
through
Italy
,
the
foresaid
Lord
Ambassadour
shall
procure
one
of
those
Scales
wherein
Cosmo
de
Medici
balanc'd
all
the
Princes
of
the
Western
World
,
for
the
most
eminent
among
mortals
intends
to
do
the
like
most
exactly
,
and
weigh
every
State
to
the
least
grain
,
&c.
This
was
the
substance
of
the
rambling
Instructions
that
were
given
the
Chymericall
Ambassadour
,
which
kept
more
noise
in
Christendom
then
any
thing
that
ever
was
written
of
him
;
Another
compares
him
to
Hercules
,
and
the
Q.
Mother
to
Iuno
,
whose
animosity
put
Hercules
to
quell
Monsters
,
and
perform
his
twelve
labours
,
which
were
held
impossibilities
in
others
;
At
Sea
Hercules
himself
did
not
so
many
feats
as
he
,
for
being
High
Admiral
,
his
Galeon
the
great
Armand
broak
often
through
his
pillers
;
He
rays'd
every
day
new
tempests
,
wherein
Dolphin-like
he
lov'd
to
tumble
and
sport
,
and
by
this
restles
humour
of
motion
,
he
drive
his
Master
into
a
vast
Ocean
of
trouble
and
danger
,
his
sayles
having
no
other
wind
to
fill
them
but
ambition
,
and
ayrie
hopes
of
honor
;
And
while
he
labour'd
thus
to
have
his
great
Masters
name
and
his
own
,
to
fill
future
story
,
some
doubt
,
whether
they
were
not
expung'd
out
of
the
Book
of
life
;
in
regard
they
pass'd
to
their
last
Port
through
a
Red
Sea
,
the
one
a
young
man
upon
the
matter
(
being
but
42.
)
the
other
not
old
,
(
being
but
57.
)
and
the
reason
may
be
drawn
out
of
the
Sacred
Text
,
That
the
bloud-thirsty
man
shall
not
see
half
his
dayes
.
This
Sanguinary
humor
in
him
,
was
sutable
to
the
colour
of
his
habit
;
which
more
incited
,
and
praecipitated
the
French
and
others
his
Confederats
to
Armes
;
as
we
read
it
to
be
the
custom
of
the
Indians
,
to
present
Scarlet
colours
,
and
other
bloody
red
objects
before
their
Elephants
,
to
make
them
more
furious
when
they
are
employ'd
in
the
wars
:
This
made
him
turn
the
very
dust
to
soldiers
as
he
pass'd

I
will
conclude
all
kind
of
Satyrs
of
him
with
these
Latin

which
may
be

a

both
of

This
Epitaphicall
Invective
being
a
kind
of
Character
of
the
whole
man
and
a
Legend
of
his
life
,
I
thought
worthy
of
rendring
into
English
,
for
the
concisenes
and
weight
of
the
style
.
First
,
O
Passenger
,
I
desire
thee
to
praise
Almighty
God
that
thou
mayst
read
this
securely
in
France
:
Then
admire
,
that
he
is
coop'd
up
in
so
narrow
a
compasse
,
now
dead
,
whom
living
,
the
whole
Earth
could
scarce
contain
:
when
he
mov'd
Her
,
he
also
shook
the
Heavens
,
arrogating
to
himself
this
Motto
,
Mens
sydera
volvit
:
That
thou
mayst
know
what
an
Intelligence
this
was
;
He
was
in
point
of
industry
sagacious
,
but
turbulent
;
being
an
Enemy
both
to
the
publique
peace
and
his
own
:
In
that
great
wit
,
which
neverthelesse
some
suspected
,
some
of
his
Familiars
observ'd
a
great
mixture
of
madnes
:
All
things
puzzled
his
mind
,
nothing
settled
it
:
He
stood
so
long
,
not
so
much
by
the
love
of
his
great
Master
,
but
by
authority
,
being
more
fortunat
for
the
successe
of
things
,
then
solidity
of
counsell
:
unhappy
onely
in
the
wrath
of
God
,
being
perpetually
attended
with
foule
diseases
;
He
was
subject
to
both
Cholers
the
tormenters
of
mans
life
,
black
and
yellow
;
so
the
poyson
which
he
disgorg'd
for
others
ruine
,
was
felt
by
himself
:
He
was
ambitious
above
all
men
,
covetous
above
most
,
prodigall
of
the
Kings
money
,
and
sparing
of
his
own
:
when
cross'd
,
he
was
cruell
,
and
more
,
when
he
intended
to
crosse
:
Being
enrich'd
by
the
Queen
Mothers
benefits
,
promoted
by
her
care
,
and
made
potent
by
her
power
,
he
deprived
Her
both
of
the
Kings
grace
,
of
her
liberty
,
goods
,
and
of
France
it self
,
and
at
last
of
life
at
Colen
where
she
died
an
exile
:
He
spar'd
her
not
after
death
,
but
rescinded
her
last
will
,
and
kept
her
body
five
moneths
after
above
ground
in
her
chamber
:
He
violated
the
Kings
brothers
honor
,
and
sought
to
oppresse
his
Person
;
He
separated
not
only
Mother
from
Son
,
brother
from
brother
,
but
wife
from
husband
:
He
caus'd
Marillac
to
be
chop'd
off
by
extreme
wrong
,
Monmorency
by
extreme
right
,
Saint
Marc
by
right
and
wrong
,
and
de
Thou
by
right
or
wrong
:
Some
Nobles
he
condemn'd
to
perpetuall
imprisonment
,
he
banish'd
more
,
he
drive
most
of
them
from
Court
,
he
proscrib'd
numbers
lest
they
might
crosse
his
Counsells
,
mild
France
never
saw
so
frequent
punishments
:
the
restlesse
activity
or
agitation
of
his
mind
,
his
projecting
and
all-daring
boldnes
,
and
his
severe
rigidity
produc'd
some
prosperous
successes
by
such
furious
endevours
:
How
easily
had
he
fallen
,
if
amongst
his
forren
foes
he
had
met
with
some
more
cunning
,
or
but
with
one
amongst
his
own
Countrey
men
:
It
much
advantag'd
him
,
that
any
scarce
knew
him
,
or
that
he
gave
credit
to
any
that
did
know
him
;
He
was
so
fortunat
,
that
those
Nobles
,
and
Commanders
who
mislik'd
him
,
spent
their
own
and
others
bloud
,
while
he
joyn'd
his
with
the
Kings
:
In
the
same
Counsell
Sejanus
fell
,
had
he
also
fallen
,
had
he
not
tane
away
the
Royall
Prince
Soissons
:
The
prints
of
so
destructive
a
power
,
Germany
,
Spain
,
the
Netherlands
,
but
France
principally
will
scarce
deface
in
a
whole
Age
:
He
took
pleasure
in
his
own
Countrey
mens
and
his
Neighbours
miseries
,
that
he
might
pluck
the
hairs
of
the
one
,
and
teare
the
entrailes
of
the
other
:
Neither
was
he
tender
of
the
Sacred
health
of
his
King
,
which
he
shook
while
he
exhausted
his
own
by
cares
,
and
various
anxieties
of
mind
:
The
Divine
vengeance
first
corrupted
his
arm
which
he
had
lifted
up
against
heaven
,
then
he
lost
the
use
of
his
right
hand
,
which
had
subscrib'd
so
many
bloudy
warrants
,
the
one
putrified
in
eight
moneths
,
the
other
dried
away
:
And
,
which
is
a
fearefull
thing
,
he
who
thus
felt
the
revengefull
hand
of
God
,
did
scarce
acknowledge
him
,
which
may
be
inferr'd
out
of
this
,
because
he
exercis'd
his
fury
more
eagerly
upon
his
privat
enemies
:
And
that
upon
the
point
of
death
by
Politicall
prudence
rather
then
Christian
piety
he
recommended
his
own
to
the
King
,
more
then
himself
to
God
:
besides
a
few
dayes
before
the
catastrophe
of
his
tragic
life
,
he
would
have
a
Play
acted
of
his
,
call'd
Europa
Triumphans
in
Royall
magnificence
though
he
himself
could
not
be
at
it
:
Moreover
he
afflicted
the
Church
being
a
Cardinal
,
he
shed
bloud
being
a
Priest
,
he
never
forgat
injuries
being
a
Christian
,
he
scarce
thought
himself
mortall
being
a
man
,
although
those
foule
wormes
which
issued
out
of
his
ulcers
might
have
warn'd
him
to
what
a
fraile
and
faetid
corruption
he
was
subject
unto
:
Having
by
all
,
even
impious
means
run
to
his
own
privat
ends
for
eighteen
yeers
,
at
last
he
came
to
the
common
end
of
mankind
by
a
gentle
death
in
shew
,
and
slower
far
then
was
wish'd
:
He
expir'd
at
Paris
,
where
he
was
born
,
being
57.
yeers
and
odd
moneths
old
:
Now
leaving
France
,
and
his
own
House
,
he
seem'd
to
have
a
will
to
set
both
on
fire
,
the
one
by
extorting
a
Declaration
against
the
Kings
brother
,
the
other
,
by
making
his
last
Will
at
the
will
of
a
woman
:
Never
did
plentifull
France
bestow
upon
any
one
so
much
,
nor
,
being
somewhat
impatient
by
nature
,
did
she
endure
any
one
longer
;
neither
,
being
a
lover
of
peace
,
did
she
ever
cary
any
one
to
his
grave
more
joyfully
:
Discreet
Passenger
this
I
openly
avouch
,
which
thou
haply
doest
privatly
suspect
.
If
thou
meetst
with
any
yet
doubting
,
entreat
him
,
that
he
give
no
credit
to
flatterers
either
corrupted
or
deceived
,
but
to
me
deriving
truth
from
its
true
source
:
But
I
would
have
all
mortals
beleeve
,
that
with
God
the
least
dram
of
Justice
prevailes
more
then
an
Ocean
of
Greatnesse
,
nor
is
true
Fame
esteem'd
by
the
extent
but
by
the
goodnesse
.
That
to
embroyle
many
things
,
is
not
to
do
much
;
't
is
more
,
to
compose
troubles
,
and
more
then
that
,
to
prevent
they
may
not
happen
:
The
Vulgar
give
the
names
of
vertues
,
to
lucky
villanies
,
but
be
thou
of
another
mind
,
and
think
nothing
more
unhappy
,
then
fortunat
mischiefs

fraud
,
deceiv'd
many
for
a
time
,
but
himself
haply
for
ever
:
Alas
,
what
he
hath
shatter'd
,
can
never
be
put
again
in
order
,
who
thought
that
Peace
which
was
contrary
to
his
nature
,
was
not
convenient
for
his
fortunes
,
hence
issued
all
those
mischiefs
which
have
afflicted
the
Christian
world
so
many
yeers
:
pray
,
that
God
avenge
not
himself
on
the
author
,
who
wanted
mercy
in
so
many
great
crimes
:
O
Christian
stranger
do
thou
seriously
consider
,
what
a
nothing
't
is
,
what
passeth
away
in
a
moment
;
none
of
those
whom
thou
beholdest
purpled
all
over
,
are
happy
in
that
,
no
more
then
those
that
a
stage
assignes
a
Scepter
or
stately
Robes
unto
,
with
the
spectators
they
likewise
go
out
,
are
unbuskin'd
,
and
return
to
their
old
stature
:
Seneca.
Behold
what
a
few
ashes
he
makes
,
who
was
so
huge
a
fire
,
he
is
become
now
a
black
smoak
,
who
lately
like
a
coruscant
lampe
dazled
all
eyes
:
God
grant
he
be
not
a
firebrand
to
himself
in
the
other
world
,
who
was
such
a
one
to
poore
Europe
,
which
hath
hopes
of
Peace
,
now
,
that
the
tinder
is
spent
:
I
could
with
thee
,
O
passenger
,
wish
peace
to
so
great
an
enemy
of
peace
,
even
to
his
own
,
while
he
lived
,
if
I
feared
not
that
thou
would'st
do
him
an
ill
office
,
to
wish
him
that
which
he
most
detested
:
yet
pray
,
because
thou
art
commanded
to
love
thine
enemies
,
if
peace
go
not
to
him
,
it
will
return
to
thee
:
So
Christ
commands
,
in
whom
live
peacefully
,
that
thou
may'st
rest
in
him
eternally
:
In
the
interim
farewell
.
There
is
another
which
draws
neerer
to
the
nature
of
an
Epitaph
of
as
pressing
and
ponderous
a
style
as
this
,
but
not
falling
so
heavily
upon
him

Armand
Iohn

Cardinal

,
Noble
by
descent
,
great
in

,
most
eminent
in
fortune
,
And
,
what
thou
may'st

,
A
Priest
in
the

,
a
Divine
at

,
A
Bishop
without
Cure
,
a
Cardinal
without
Title
,
a
King
without
name
,
Yet
,
One
,
who
was
all
these
:
He
had
Nature
in
all
her
numbers
,
Fortune
in
his
Counsels
,
The
Royall
treasure
in
possession
,
Security
in
war
,
Victory
under
his
banner
;
He
kept
his
Confoederats
in
compasse
,
his
Countrey
men
in
servitude
,
His
Friends
at
a
distance
,
his
Enemies
in
prison
,
In
this
only
wretched
,
that
he
made
all
men
so
,
Being
as
well
the
torment
,
as
the
ornament
of
his
times
.
He
subdued
France
,
he
scar'd
Italy
,
he
shook
the
Empire
,
He
afflicted
Spain
,
he
crown'd
Bragantia
,
he
took
Lorain
,
He
accepted
of

,
he
fomented
Swethland
,
he
maim'd
Flanders
,
He
troubled
England
,
he
cousen'd
all
Europe
:
A
purpled
Poet
,
Whose
stage
was
the
world
,
glory
his
curtain
,
the
Exchequer
his
tyring-house
:
His
subject
for
the
most
part
tragicall
,
to
which
he
put
an
il
Catastrophe
:
Having
turn'd
the
Kingdom
to
Legacies
,
bequeath'd
poverty
to
the
people
,
Dissipated
the
Princes
,
exhausted
the
Nobility
with
punishments
,
Bereft
the
Parlement
of
power
,
destroy'd
other
Nations
with
fire
and
sword
,
driven
away
Peace
by
Sea
,
and
Land
;
His
body
now
fainting
,
his
mind
not
recreable
for
restles
thoughts
,
when
it
concern'd
every
one
that
he
should
live
or
die
,
Being
already
mortified
a
good
part
,
and
living
only
in
others
death
,
He
suddenly
ceas'd
to
breath
,
and
to
be
fear'd
:
O
the
frayl
things
of
mortality
!
What
a
small
moment
is
there
,
'twixt
something
and
nothing
?
The
corps
was
caried
in
a
Chariot
,
horse
and
foot
follow'd
in
great
numbers
,
Pages
caried
Torches
,
none
the
Crosse
,
for
the
Chariot
carried
the
public
Crosse
:
In
fine
he
hardly
fill'd
up
his
grave
,
Whom
all
Europe
could
not
fill
:
He
lies
among
the
Sorbonists
,
Of
dispute
a
mighty
argument
;
And
where
he
is
gone
,
't
is
a
Sacrament
:
Reader
,
this
is
all
,
I
would
have
with
thee
,
Hereby
measure
thy self
,
and
be
gone
.
Thus
was
this
great
man
the
subject
of
every
mans
censure
,
a
thing
incident
and
inevitable
to
all
Favorits
,
and
Minions
of
Princes
,
who
like
wooden
popagayes
fastned
upon
high
poles
,
are
marks
for
every
one
to
shoot
at
;
they
are
expos'd
to
unsavory
,
as
well
as
to
sweet
breaths
,
to
rough
blasts
,
as
to
gentle
brizes
:
But
our
Cardinal
had
taken
such
deep
rooting
in
his
Masters
heart
,
that
for
many
yeers
no
crosse
winds
,
though
never
so
impetuous
and
violent
,
were
able
to
shake
him
:
Add
hereunto
that
he
strongly
fortified
himself
by
alliances
,
and
had
in
his
hands
the
tenablest
places
of
France
,
by
Sea
and
Land
;
So
that
he
seem'd
to
be
like
a
tree
planted
upon
the
Mount
Olympus
,
transcending
all
meteorologicall
impressions
,
and
those
frog-vapors
,
and
malignant
ayres
which
use
to
hover
in
the
lower
Regions
,
and
if
there
hung
any
,
his
Masters
countenance
,
like
the
Orient
Sun
,
would
presently
dispell
them
.
Considering
,
as
the
world
knows
,
a
directing
minister
of
State
was
requisit
in
France
,
certainly
the
King
could
not
light
upon
a
more
idoneous
instrument
,
for
he
was
cut
out
for
a
States-man
,
his
brain
was
alwayes
at
work
,
and
his
thoughts
still
grinding
something
;
his
counsels
were
oracles
,
and
his
desseins
mysteries
,
till
put
in
execution
,
and
then
they
turn'd
to
exploits
most
commonly
:
He
was
not
only
wise
but
politic
;
Now
,
wisdome
and
policy
(
as
it
is
taken
in
these
times
)
though
they
both
agree
in
their
ends
,
yet
they
differ
in
the
means
conducing
to
attain
their
ends
;
the
first
goes
the
plain
direct
high
road
,
the
other
useth
now
and
then
some
odd
by-paths
:
Never
any
brought
the
principles
of
policy
,
which
are
generall
and
confus'd
,
to
a
greater
certainty
;
they
are
easily
prescrib'd
,
but
practis'd
with
more
difficultie
then
those
of
any
other
Art
;
The
Navigator
directed
by
his
Compasse
is
sure
to
come
at
such
a
height
,
and
arrive
to
such
a
Port
:
the
Mathematician
can
exemplifie
,
and
really
demonstrate
the
truth
of
any
of
his
principles
;
The
Architect
by
his
Model
and
instruments
can
exactly
(
having
materials
accordingly
)
raise
such
an
edifice
;
The
Musician
scruing
up
his
strings
to
such
a
height
,
is
sure
to
hit
upon
such
a
tune
;
The
Physitian
knowing
the
vertue
and
operation
of
his
drugs
,
is
sure
they
will
restringe
or
purge
,
open
or
obstruct
;
It
is
not
so
with
the
Polititian
,
who
though
he
adapt
and
apply
his
principles
never
so
dextrously
,
yet
he
cannot
assure
himselfe
of
the
effects
:
which
must
be
imputed
to
the
world
of
contingencies
,
obstacles
,
and
inexpected
accidents
which
use
to
attend
the
negotiations
of
men
,
specially
matters
of
State
,
and
War
:
yet
this
great
Minister
brought
them
to
as
much
certitude
as
could
be
;
In
so
much
,
that
before
the
breach
with
Spain
,
he
was
us'd
to
say
,
that
the
Almightie
and
irresistible
hand
of
heaven
was
only
able
to
ranverse
his
desseins
,
not
any
humane
power
;
And
it
prov'd
true
,
for
the
Austrian
tree
(
which
was
the
ayme
of
all
his
policies
)
was
never
so
shaken
:
nor
France
never
so
secur'd
;
so
that
take
the
Theoric
,
and
Practic
part
of
policy
together
,
Olivares
&
Oxenstern
his
contemporaries
,
yea
Machiavil
himself
(
taking
him
in
the
best
sense
)
had
he
bin
living
,
might
have
bin
his
apprentices
.
And
it
was
the
more
easie
for
him
to
bring
such
things
to
passe
,
in
regard
that
he
had
the
power
of
disposing
all
things
entire
and
so
concentred
in
himself
,
that
he
met
with
no
opposition
,
with
no
crosse
counsels
or
contestation
;
for
the
King
had
resign'd
not
only
his
power
,
but
his
judgement
,
and
all
the
faculties
of
his
soul
unto
him
alone
,
nor
would
he
listen
to
any
advis'd
him
otherwise
;
which
was
no
small
advantage
to
the
cariage
of
things
,
for
,
though
in
the
multitude
of
Counsellors
there
be
safety
,
yet
,
in
the
conduct
of
State
affaires
(
specially
Martiall
)
wherein
secrecy
and
speed
are
so
essentially
requisit
,
that
they
may
be
said
to
be
the
two
poles
whereon
they
move
,
I
say
,
in
the
tracing
and
managery
of
such
actions
,
where
oft-times
the
ball
must
be
ta'ne
before
the
bound
,
too
great
a
number
(
of
Counsellors
)
is
an
encomber
,
and
makes
the
dessein
subject
to
discovery
,
or
delay
,
to
be
retarded
or
reveal'd
,
and
so
to
miscarry
,
and
misse
of
the
end
:
yet
this
solenesse
and
singlenesse
of
counsell
may
be
thus
qualified
;
Quod
fieri
debeat
,
cum
multis
tracta
;
quod
facturus
es
,
cum
paucissimis
.
But
whereas
many
cast
in
his
dish
,
that
being
a
Cardinal
,
and
a
Bishop
Cardinal
too
,
he
was
unfit
to
be
a
Captain
generall
,
it
may
be
answer'd
that
't
is
no
new
thing
in
the
Roman
Church
,
no
not
in
France
it self
,
where
divers
examples
may
be
produc'd
:
Arnaud
de
Pelegrue
,
Clement
the
fifts
kinsman
,
being
Cardinal
,
was
General
of
an
Army
in
the
yeer
1330.
Andoin
de
la
Roche
Abbot
of
Cluny
and
Cardinal
was
the
like
1360.
The
Cardinal
of
Alby
,
otherwise
call'd
the
Cardinal
of
Arras
commanded
in
Chief
the
Army
of
Lewis
the
xj
.
Nor
can
Spain
reproach
him
of
this
for
Cardinal
Albornost
,
Kimenes
,
and
Carvaial
,
all
three
,
were
Generals
for
the
Kings
of
Spain
,
and
Charles
the
fift
employed
Cardinal
Pompeo
Colonna
often
in
that
nature
.
And
t'other
day
Cardinal
Ferdinando
this
King
of
Spains
brother
,
was
his
Generalissimo
in
the
Netherlands
,
having
fought
Norlinghen
battell
in
his
way
.
Nay
,
not
only
Cardinals
,
but
we
read
of
Popes
themselves
that
personally
commanded
their
armies
in
chief
,
among
others
Iohn
the
tenth
,
Leo
the
ninth
,
Paschall
the
second
,
Urban
the
second
,
Victor
the
third
,
Lucius
the
second
,
Innocent
the
second
,
and
Iulius
the
second
.
But
of
all
Cardinals
I
have
read
of
,
our
present
Cardinal
may
be
most
properly
compar'd
in
disposition
to
Ximenes
of
Spain
,
and
Wolsey
of
England
;
to
the
first
,
for
his
inclination
to
war
,
for
Cardinal
Ximenes
was
us'd
to
say
,
that
Gunpowder
gave
as
sweet
an
odor
in
the
field
,
as
incense
at
the
altar
.
To
the
second
,
for
his
magnitude
of
mind
:
Wolsey
had
for
his
Motto
—
non
haec
sine
numine
Divûm
Eveniunt
.
Richelieu
had
—
mens
sydera
volvit
.
But
in
magnificence
Wolsey
surpass'd
him
,
't
is
true
this
late
Cardinal
had
a
band
of
souldiers
perpetually
attending
him
,
but
nothing
comparable
to
the
other
for
domestic
attendance
;
when
Wolsey
was
mounting
his
Mule
at
White-hall
gate
to
go
sit
at
the
Chancery
,
the
first
of
his
train
all
along
would
be
by
that
time
at
Westminster
Hall
:
He
went
to
France
with
1000.
horse
Ambassador
,
and
was
Arbiter
of
most
of
the
Debates
twixt
the
Emperour
and
Francis
the
first
.
Richelicu
gave
his
King
,
his
Cardinal-Palace
for
a
gift
;
Wolsey
,
Hampton
Court
all
furnish'd
worth
foure
of
the
to'ther
,
a
gift
as
one
said
,
too
great
for
a
Subject
to
give
,
and
a
King
to
receive
.
Richelieu
repair'd
the
Colledge
of
Sorbon
,
erected
a
few
Schooles
for
reading
the
Sciences
in
the
vulgar
language
:
built
the
Cardinal-Palace
in
Paris
,
and
the
Palace
of
Richelieu
in
the
Countrey
:
Wolsey
built
Whitehall
,
Hampton
Court
,
the
huge
Colledge
at
Ipswich
,
and
Christ-church
in
Oxford
,
the
greatest
Monuments
of
that
kind
in
the
world
;
besides
a
tombe
he
had
intended
and
three
quarterd
finish'd
for
Henry
the
eight
his
Master
at
Winsor
,
which
,
had
it
been
perfected
Europe
,
had
not
had
the
like
,
nor
would
his
sonne
or
any
of
his
two
daughters

at
the
charge
of
finishing
it
.
And
as
in
magnitude
of
mind
,
so
in
a
constancy
and
fastnesse
to
himself
he
sympathiz'd
with
English
Wolsey
,
(
who
amongst
other
properties
was
specially
observed
for
that
;
)
For
when
his
affections
fixed
upon
any
thing
,
he
would
employ
the
whole
man
to
compasse
it
;
his
mind
was
like
a
stone
hurl'd
into
the
water
which
never
rest's
till
it
comes
to
the
bottome
:
So
when
he
desir'd
any
thing
he
would
leave
no
stone
unstirr'd
,
(
as
they
say
)
no
wayes
untry'd
,
but
he
would
attain
it
:
A
Gentleman
of
qualitie
told
me
a
passage
of
him
,
that
a
Marchant
of
Paris
brought
him
a
jewell
of
high
price
to
shew
and
sell
,
he
was
so
taken
with
it
,
that
he
offerd
50000.
crownes
for
it
,
the
Marchant
demanded
15000.
more
and
would
not
go
a
peny
lesse
:
A
few
dayes
after
the
Marchant
carrying
the
jewell
to
a
great
Lady
to
see
,
was
suddenly
in
some
place
of
advantage
surpriz'd
,
muffled
and
so
unjewell'd
:
A
little
after
the
Marchant
going
to
the
Cardinals
Secretary
upon
some
other
businesse
,
the
Cardinall
hearing
of
his
being
there
,
sent
for
him
,
and
making
grievous
mone
for
his
jewell
,
the
Cardinal
fetch'd
out
of
his
Cabinet
a
box
,
and
drew
thence
a
jewell
,
and
ask'd
whether
that
was
his
;
the
Marchant
in
a
kind
of
amazement
answer'd
,
I
dare
not
say
't
is
mine
,
because
't
is
in
your
Eminencies
hands
,
but
were
in
it
any
other
hand
I
would
sweare
it
were
mine
:
Go
,
saith
he
,
and
keep
a
better
conscience
in
your
dealings
hereafter
,
for
I
know
what
this
jewell
is
worth
as
well
as
you
,
and
out
of
that
I
have
offerd
you
already
,
you
may
draw
very
faire
gaines
;
so
he
gave
order
his
50000.
crownes
should
be
payd
him
,
and
the
busines
was
hush'd
up
.
We
draw
now
to
an
end
,
and
to
bring
our
Cardinal
with
a
sweet
odour
to
his
grave
,
and
take
away
something
of
the
ill
favour
of
those
Epitaphs
that
went
before
,
we
will
adde
this
upon
him

Sorbon

The
Monument
of
the
most
eminent
Cardinal
Duke
of
Richelieu
.
Stay
Passenger
,
Armand
Iohn
du
Plessis
Cardinal
Duke
of
Richelieu
hath
deposited
here
,
whatsoever
he
had
of
mortalitie
:
Stay
,
if
thou
art
French
,
at
his
ashes
,
by
whose
Counsels
France
stood
;
Stay
,
if
thou
art
a
Confederat
,
at
the
Cardinals
tombe
,
on
whom
as
upon
a
hinge
all
Europe
mov'd
:
Stay
,
if
thou
art
an
Enemy
,
at
the
trophey
of
the
Duke
of
Richelieu
,
at
whose
beck
the
Ocean
stood
:
Read
on
,
His
first
good
was
to
have
a
being
,
his
next
to
have
a
well-being
;
As
he
was
adorn'd
with
Ancestors
,
so
he
was
an
ornament
unto
them
;
for
his
knowledge
and
actions
,
the
one
came
from
heaven
,
the
other
tended
towards
heaven
:
He
was
promoted
to
be
Secretary
of
State
,
who
was
afterwards
to
rule
the
State
;
He
was
assistant
to
the
Queen
Mother
,
who
was
to
be
the
Kingdoms
Father
:
The
King
being
willing
,
and
his
worth
enforcing
,
Rome
so
granted
him
the
purple
,
that
it
might
be
doubted
,
whether
he
gave
or
received
more
Eminence
unto
it
:
His
vertue
made
him
most
eminent
,
before
Rome
;
At
the
brightnesse
of
his
purple
the
Eagle
quak'd
,
the
Lion
roar'd
,
the
Rose
grew
pale
;
nor
could
He
avoyd
the
purple
,
which
had
he
not
worn
as
ensignes
of
Martyrs
,
yet
,
he
might
carry
them
died
in
the
bloud
of
enemies
:
He
withdrew
himself
from
the
Queen
mother
,
when
she
would
be
more
Queen
then
Mother
;
A
lover
of
public
Peace
,
not
of
fortune
.
Hated
he
was
,
because
he
could
not
be
lov'd
enough
:
He
fluctuated
neither
at
Court
,
nor
in
the
Ocean
floods
:
He
stood
immoveable
,
at
whose
nod
the
Rocks
stirr'd
,
and
under
him
the
conspiration
of
Rebels
being
quash'd
,
Religion
began
to
respire
every
where
,
which
without
him
was
ready
to
expire
:
he
overcame
his
own
foes
when
he
listed
,
the
Kings
alwaies
:
He
was
so
vacant
to
himself
,
as
if
he
intended
nothing
else
;
so
intent
to
others
,
as
he
seem'd
to
neglect
himself
:
being
the
wonder
of
his
age
he
did
miracles
;
happy
he
was
that
he
pleas'd
a
just
King
,
and
happier
,
that
he
so
serv'd
the
King
and
Kingdom
that
he
preserv'd
both
:
At
last
,
the
German
routed
,
the
Spaniard
slain
,
the
Kingdom
quieted
,
and
having
orecome
himself
the
greatest
of
all
,
contemning
the
shadowy
triumphs
of
the
earth
,
being
to
receive
an
immarcescible
crown
of
God
,
he
expir'd
;
leaving
it
incertain
whether
he
liv'd
and
rul'd
more
happily
,
or
died
more
piously
:
He
wrung
teares
from
Envie
herself
,
who
poursuing
him
living
,
condol'd
him
dead
;
He
could
go
no
further
,
he
had
attain'd
the
highest
:
The
spoiles
of
death
he
gave
to
Sorbon
,
who
living
animated
Sorbon
:
In
Sorbon
whom
he
lov'd
,
he
desir'd
to
lye
,
and
to
rest
in
her
bosom
whom
finding
tottering
,
he
took
up
,
nay
he
only
could
have
reviv'd
the
Genius
of
Sorbon
,
had
it
been
like
to
faint
:
The
foe
enfeebled
every
where
,
he
only
yeelded
to
death
,
being
deaths
Conqueror
,
and
Survivour
of
himself
,
while
he
lives
in
the
mouths
,
and
minds
of
all
men
.
Pray
,
and

moneth

Age.
This
Epitaph
gives
a
full
compensation
for
the
tartnes
of
the
two
former
,
which
were
inserted
expresly
thereby
to
enfranchise
the
judgement
of
the
Reader
,
to
discover
the
impartiality
of
the
story
,
and
make
truth
more
perspicuous
,
for
it
is
a
good
rule
in
Logic
,
that
Contraria
juxta
se
posita
magis
elucescunt
,
the
confrontation
of
contraries
makes
things
appear
more
clearly
;
I
know
there
is
a
saying
in
French
,
that
vent
coulis
,
a
cranny
wind
is
more
hurtfull
then
an
open
;
such
are
reproaches
'twixt
prayses
;
But
let
not
the
Authour
of
this
story
be
mistaken
that
he
intended
to
derogat
(
but
only
for
the
ends
above
mentioned
)
from
the
merit
of
so
brave
a
man
whom
his
very
enemies
admir'd
for
his
fagacity
,
and
cloquence
,
for
his
admirable
forecast
and
penetrating
judgement
,
for
the
vivacity
of
his
spirit
,
and
quicknes
of
apprehension
,
for
his
affiduity
and
indefatigable
vigilance
,
for
his
excellent
addresse
,
and
sinewy
expressions
,
and
dextrous
way
of
dispatch
,
for
his
rare
policy
and
prudentiall
parts
,
and
lastly
for
the
stupendous
succes
of
his
counsels
;
These
atributes
,
as
it
is
no
flattery
to
give
him
,
so
it
were
injury
to
deny
him
;
By
these
he
made
France
formidable
to
the
world
,
he
made
his
Master
Arbiter
of
his
own
interests
,
an
Avenger
of
all
affronts
,
and
supporter
of
his
Confederats
;
by
these
he
got
him
three
keyes
of
invaluable
advantage
,
Brisack
,
Pignerol
,
and
Perpignan
,
the
first
to
enter
Germany
,
the
second
Italy
,
the
third
Spain
at
pleasure
;
By
these
he
made
him
the
most
absolute
and
independent
Monark
that
ever
raign'd
in
that
Kingdom
,
and
freed
him
from
all
fears
to
receive
the
law
from
his
subjects
ever
hereafter
.
But
by
ascribing
so
much
to
the
Minister
,
let
us
not
derogat
from
the
Master
,
who
was
as
active
in
his
way
,
and
concurr'd
to
achieve
all
these
things
;
We
have
an
axiom
in
Philosophy
,
that
Sol
et
Homo
generant
Hominem
;
The
Sun
and
man
beget
man
;
the
one
by
his
Universall
influx
,
being
the
fountain
of
heat
,
the
other
by
Naturall
organs
;
So
we
may
say
the
King
and
Cardinal
produc'd
all
these
actions
,
the
one
by
the
influence
of
his
high
power
and
Regall
authoritie
,
the
other
by
his
instrumentall
activity
.
The
Cardinal
de
Richelieu's
Armes
were

therefore

which
Armes
,
with

(
which
supported
that
great
Crown
,
and
made
the
Lillies
flourish
and
swell
so
many
yeers
)
we
will
lay
upon
his

And
now
't

time
for
us
to
put
a
period
to
the
whole
work
,
both
to
the
History
of
this
mighty
Monark
,
as
also
to
that
of
his
great
Minister
;
And
though
their
memory
be
not
like
the
Rose
,
and
other
fading
flowers
,
which
smell
sweeter
after
they
are
pluck'd
;
yet
the
report
of
them
shall
ring
in
France
,
as
long
as
the

Sun
shall
reverberat
upon
that
faire
Continent
,
and
albeit

be
improper
for
them

yet
they
deserve
to
have
Laurels
upon
their
heads
,
and
Palmes
of
victory
in
their
hands
to
all
posterity
