To
the
Right
Worshipful
Sir
RICHARD
BROWN
,
Eldest
Clerk
of
his
Majesties
most
Honourable
Privy
Council
.
Sir
,
IF
it
be
a
solid
Pleasure
to
reflect
on
those
Portions
of
our
Life
,
not
only
which
have
past
away
in
a
smooth
tenour
of
uninterrupted
Felicity
,
but
rather
on
such
as
have
been
exercised
with
conspicuous
Sufferings
,
which
have
been
undertaken
with
Justice
,
sustained
with
Courage
,
and
crowned
with
an
happy
deliverance
:
I
hope
you
will
not
be
offended
at
my
presuming
to
call
you
to
a
review
of
the
twenty
years
of
Cardinal
Mazarines
Ministry
in
this
Piece
pretending
to
some
more
curious
Remarks
on
the
late
French
History
.
You
were
then
set
to
maintain
a
difficult
Station
in
that
Court
,
during
our
Civil
Wars
,
and
Tragical
Confusions
.
It
was
no
mean
Province
to
withstand
the
Corruptions
of
a
prevailing
Faction
:
to
represent
an
entire
King
under
almost
a
total
Eclipse
of
Majesty
:
amidst
the
Spoils
of
your
own
Fortunes
superadded
to
the
Invasion
of
your
Masters
Revenue
,
to
retain
Splendour
,
Hospitality
,
and
Beneficence
,
of
which
I
must
ever
bear
an
honourable
and
grateful
Testimony
.
But
,
Sir
,
how
you
could
sue
to
that
Purple
which
owes
nothing
to
the
Welfare
of
those
Powers
that
would
never
adore
it
;
how
you
could
appear
before
His
Eminence
,
not
having
made
way
by
the
Tributes
paid
to
Eastern
Tyrants
;
and
could
sometimes
convince
him
in
a
Royal
Cause
,
without
cogent
Arguments
fetched
from
both
the
Indies
,
is
a
dexterity
of
Address
above
my
comprehension
.
Then
was
your
House
the
Roof
under
which
that
Ark
which
was
born
before
our
Soveraign
in
all
his
Troubles
,
sojourned
,
and
you
like
Obed-Edom
found
it
a
Blessing
to
your
Family
.
And
at
length
such
was
the
Issue
of
your
Negotiation
,
that
having
seen
the
Divine
Goodness
triumph
over
the
opposite
Powers
and
Policies
of
men
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
in
the
Restauration
of
our
Rightful
and
Natural
King
,
you
were
by
him
called
home
to
the
reaping
the
fruits
of
your
patient
continuance
in
Duty
,
in
the
Exercise
of
your
former
Charge
of
being
near
his
Sacred
Person
,
and
attending
on
his
Privy
Council
.
Here
,
Sir
,
although
your
condition
stand
upon
the
most
firm
Bottom
of
so
tryed
a
Faith
to
so
gracious
a
Prince
,
yet
you
well
comprehend
what
is
a
Paradox
to
the
securely
fortunate
,
that
in
this
Scene
of
Life
,
Prosperity
is
more
fugacious
than
Adverfity
:
for
,
discounting
the
Period
of
Death
common
to
all
,
the
Happy
encounter
many
Enemies
,
whilst
the
Miserable
find
but
few
Friends
;
or
rather
because
our
own
degenerate
Nature
is
more
soft
to
comply
with
the
Charms
of
Pleasure
from
surrounding
Plenty
,
though
they
have
a
tendency
to
our
certain
Ruine
;
than
it
is
daring
to
put
forth
the
Efforts
of
Industry
under
the
discouragements
of
Want
,
which
might
cooperate
towards
our
Preservation
:
you
therefore
being
avised
that
Sublunary
Happiness
is
not
unmovable
,
arm
against
future
Contingencies
,
and
stand
in
a
Posture
of
the
same
Humility
,
Self-denial
,
Compassion
,
and
all
those
other
amiable
Vertues
,
which
are
the
Fruits
of
a
well-born
Affliction
.
Since
therefore
none
is
more
conscious
to
the
Secret
of
France
,
as
having
been
so
long
exercised
in
the
Policy
and
Civility
of
that
Nation
,
be
pleased
to
assist
at
this
dissecting
of
the
Soul
of
Mazarine
,
and
perhaps
you
may
from
thence
divine
the
Fate
of
Europe
.
This
Author
is
no
Calvinist
;
for
he
looks
upon
the
Reformed
Religion
as
an
Innovation
of
no
long
Continuance
,
he
means
for
the
future
;
but
a
Venetian
Catholick
grafted
into
the
Gallican
Church
.
In
the
point
of
Supremacy
ever
jealous
of
Power
,
lest
the
Secular
should
Lacquay
whilst
the
Ecclesiastick
rides
.
The
main
Subject
of
this
Treatise
is
an
high
Commendation
,
and
without
Exception
,
but
upon
prevaricating
Topicks
;
whilst
he
introduces
a
Church-man
successful
in
embroiling
the
World
,
and
Victorious
over
the
most
Catholick
Arms
to
advance
the
most
Christian
Interest
.
To
say
the
truth
for
or
against
other
Opinions
,
no
Zealot
.
Non
est
de
tetricis
,
non
est
de
magna
professis
.
His
Style
argues
him
much
a
Cavalier
,
so
Reverent
to
Superiors
,
as
still
without
violation
of
Truth
:
and
therefore
suspense
,
Oracular
,
pregnant
with
two
Senses
through
the
Ambiguity
of
Phrase
,
or
Distinctions
,
with
a
singular
Artifice
of
Context
,
and
certain
Clenches
ineffable
in
any
other
Language
.
You
may
,
if
your
leisure
admit
,
peruse
the
Original
with
some
delight
.
For
your
whole
Family
,
after
your
Example
,
is
an
Academy
of
the
Politer
Literature
:
Yet
be
pleased
to
defend
the
Translation
,
whereby
you
will
encourage
the
Endeavours
of
him
,
who
,
as
ever
bound
,
daily
prays
for
an
increase
of
Happiness
,
and
all
Blessings
upon
you
and
yours
,
and
accounts
it
among
the
highest
Satisfactions
this
World
can
cast
upon
him
to
be
approved
Your
entirely
faithful
and
obedient
Servant

the
Most
SERENE
DUKE
,
AND
AUGUST
SENATE
OF
THE
Republick
of
VENICE
,
BENJAMIN
PRIOLO
Wishes
Prosperity
,
Victories
,
Triumphs
.
THis
is
the
first
Monument
of
my
Wit
,
Most
Serene
Prince
and
High
Lords
,
which
I
readily
and
thankefully
consecrate
to
your
renowned
Name
in
that
Language
,
which
was
once
the
Band
of
Mankind
,
and
now
continues
the
Repertory
of
Sciences
.
It
is
the
Ministry
of
Mazarine
,
an
Historical
Abridgment
of
our
Affairs
from
the
Decease
of
Lewis
XIII
.
to
this
very
day
,
and
the
Dawn
of
this
most
blessed
Age
,
wherein
the
Sun-shine
of
Peace
hath
risen
upon
us
.
It
borrows
Lustre
and
Protection
from
you
against
Detraction
and
Envy
.
Owne
it
,
My
Lords
,
and
communicate
of
your
Brightness
to
it
:
For
this
is
within
the
Verge
of
your
Power
,
who
are
able
to
extol
or
depress
with
the
single
Reputation
of
your
Judgments
.
Vpon
a
manifold
Title
doth
this
Book
lay
claim
to
your
Patronage
,
who
will
discover
in
our
late
Transactions
the
Tracks
of
your
Prudence
.
For
when
our
Country
was
embroiled
in
the
Tumults
of
civil
Dissension
,
that
Commander
who
recovered
us
from
a
most
unquiet
to
a
most
glorious
State
,
was
Honourably
Enfranchised
by
You
,
who
are
so
united
with
us
by
an
eternal
League
and
common
Interest
of
State
,
that
our
Adversities
have
always
been
an
Affliction
to
your
Republick
;
and
ye
have
with
joy
received
the
News
of
this
Empires
good
successes
,
ever
since
the
Foundation
of
both
Nations
that
are
contemporary
.
This
Work
being
full
of
Politick
Maxims
and
Presidents
,
to
whom
should
it
more
justly
address
than
to
the
most
Politick
Statesmen
?
Whom
doth
it
better
suit
than
those
who
are
the
Pattern
to
all
the
World
of
a
perfect
Government
?
The
whole
Subject
,
Vertues
,
or
Sloth
.
Them
we
recommend
by
relating
;
and
you
are
a
great
instance
,
who
have
,
and
always
have
had
them
.
This
we
decry
,
which
in
all
Ages
you
have
been
clear
of
,
either
by
avoiding
,
or
redeeming
it
.
Plainly
Rivals
of
those
,
who
having
been
daunted
with
no
wound
of
Fortunc
,
after
Trebia
,
Thrasymen
,
and
Cannae
held
out
stoutly
,
you
never
sunk
under
misfortunes
;
but
have
obliged
the
Turk
,
the
mâst
Potent
of
Empires
in
the
World
,
so
often
to
retreat
before
your
Forces
,
and
the
Providence
which
attends
your
Arms
;
whilest
the
chief
Monarchs
of
Europe
were
bloodily
engaged
against
one
another
,
upon
trivial
pretences
,
to
the
ruine
of
Christendom
,
whose
Bullwark
and
Admiration
you
are
.
Nor
doth
the
matter
only
invite
and
sollicite
your
Authority
,
to
grace
the
Front
of
this
Labour
,
being
small
in
Bulk
,
though
perhaps
that
shall
be
eternal
in
duration
;
but
much
more
my
grateful
mind
,
which
presents
you
with
your
own
gifts
.
In
like
manner
,
as
when
we
Sacrifice
and
bring
oblations
to
God
,
it
is
for
our
own
,
and
not
his
benefit
.
For
if
I
am
some-body
,
my
Lords
,
if
a
Candidate
of
Fame
,
if
enrolled
in
the
Catalogue
of
them
,
who
do
not
promise
,
but
confer
immortality
;
thanks
be
to
you
,
in
whose
Bosome
I
have
been
educated
.
First
of
all
,
That
your
City
Founded
by
Antenor
,
my
Nurse
,
the
sweet
Mother
of
Arts
,
the
Fruitful
Seminary
of
Industry
,
the
Fat
Soil
of
Vertues
,
implanted
in
me
her
Principles
:
Which
how
greatly
you
esteem
,
we
collect
from
hence
,
because
that
one
Vniversity
of
Padua
,
hath
more
Schollars
in
it
,
then
whole
Kingdoms
besides
.
This
taught
me
to
look
down
from
the
lofty
Tower
of
a
rightly
informed
judgment
,
upon
Vulgar
Errors
;
and
to
discover
upon
true
Grounds
,
with
what
gross
darkness
the
seeming
light
of
frail
mortality
is
Eclipsed
.
After
that
I
Travelled
to
Venice
,
the
joy
and
darling
of
Heaven
,
the
Shop
of
Policy
,
the
School
of
Wisdom
;
where
I
searched
into
the
Mystery
of
your
Government
.
This
doth
not
deliver
a
Prince
to
be
made
up
of
wicked
Plots
,
falshood
,
and
a
dedolent
Spirit
hardned
against
all
remorse
of
Conscience
;
not
of
subtle
Devices
,
or
Craft
,
but
of
Sincerity
and
Faith
;
whose
venerable
Name
holds
out
among
you
her
right
hand
,
the
Security
of
the
Worlds
Peace
.
A
Republick
happy
in
its
Orders
,
with
which
,
as
with
Ligatures
,
it
stands
unshaken
without
fear
of
fall
;
boasting
of
its
duration
for
1300
years
.
And
what
wonder
,
when
so
many
Vertues
are
the
Poles
upon
which
that
Immortal
Frame
is
rolled
?
Laws
you
have
few
and
good
;
as
Medicines
,
which
should
neither
be
many
nor
divers
.
Suing
at
Law
,
which
is
very
subject
to
abuse
,
is
more
restrained
with
you
,
then
any
where
else
in
the
World
;
none
are
vexed
with
long
Suits
.
You
have
wonderful
Concord
one
with
another
,
with
which
Cement
your
State
holds
;
and
I
have
confidence
will
hold
to
the
Worlds
end
.
Superiors
manifest
their
Greatness
only
in
extending
Favours
;
and
Inferiors
without
grudging
,
render
Obedience
,
and
rejoyce
in
your
Grandeur
.
Private
quarrels
you
pass
by
for
the
Publick
,
benefit
,
and
remit
offences
in
view
of
your
Country
.
There
is
no
Contention
but
who
shall
love
,
that
most
which
is
every
Noblemans
Treasure
and
Inheritance
.
No
where
if
so
great
a
price
set
upon
faithful
keeping
of
Counsel
,
Nor
are
Secrets
any
where
preserved
with
such
strict
silence
;
so
that
as
other
People
have
a
great
itch
of
spreading
reports
,
at
Venice
they
have
unmovable
affectation
of
holding
their
peace
;
which
is
almost
incredible
in
their
noble
Youth
,
who
condemn
talking
much
,
as
the
companion
of
lying
,
by
an
inward
principle
of
sound
judgment
,
and
by
the
rules
of
their
Education
.
Whilst
Candidates
,
they
stand
at
the
doors
of
the
Court
,
and
are
admitted
to
a
sight
of
the
Publick
Counsel
,
before
a
Voice
in
it
.
From
the
first
entrance
of
their
Age
,
they
are
by
degrees
used
to
their
Honours
,
which
you
sharing
equally
,
and
judging
of
Vertues
,
deprive
none
of
their
due
;
nor
under
a
colour
of
preferment
,
do
you
exhaust
the
worthy
Pretendants
in
the
Purchase
.
Such
as
are
advanced
to
Places
of
Honour
,
bring
in
humility
,
not
scornfulness
;
and
as
it
proves
all
the
world
over
,
find
what
they
bring
:
When
private
,
you
obey
without
Servility
;
and
when
advanced
,
you
command
with
Moderation
.
Young
Men
dive
into
the
depths
of
Prudence
,
because
they
hearken
to
the
Old
;
concealing
great
Abilities
,
under
an
obstinate
temperance
of
Words
.
Afterwards
the
avocations
of
youth
being
cast
off
,
when
they
must
put
on
after
glory
;
and
being
used
to
improve
,
they
find
nothing
strange
or
new
.
Ye
are
covetous
for
the
Publick
Money
,
sparing
of
your
own
,
which
you
do
not
get
to
scatter
,
but
to
maintain
your
state
;
In
habit
,
not
only
indifferent
,
but
plain
;
you
think
it
decent
so
to
discover
the
Modesty
of
your
minds
.
And
in
truth
,
Silks
and
Gold
Lace
are
not
Ornaments
of
brave
Men
,
but
Arguments
of
light
Spirits
:
You
excel
the
common
sort
in
Vertue
,
in
Clothes
you
conform
with
them
:
Your
Houshold-stuff
doth
not
strain
the
rest
of
yoâr
Estate
.
Variety
of
Offices
,
and
multitudâ
ăâă
Servants
doth
not
clamour
after
you
.
With
Athenian
Severity
you
punish
Luxury
,
which
plundering
great
Estates
,
ingenious
to
destroy
it self
,
drives
on
furiously
after
its
own
Confusion
,
being
withal
the
Bane
of
Common-wealths
,
and
Ruine
of
States
.
Those
that
are
empty
of
solid
goodness
,
glister
in
that
borrowed
appearance
,
and
bare
of
Worth
spread
in
Pomp
,
and
sumptuous
Dishes
,
rather
exciting
than
satisfying
the
Appetite
.
How
admirable
is
it
,
that
you
who
are
(
upon
more
accounts
than
one
)
Kings
,
should
condescend
in
your
whole
Furniture
to
the
plainness
of
Fellow-Citizens
,
and
should
shrowd
the
degree
of
Princes
,
as
you
all
bear
,
under
an
ordinary
Garb.
But
that
Majesty
which
you
carry
about
every
where
,
especially
by
your
Ambassadors
,
who
being
Noble
in
Birth
,
do
every
where
represent
the
Dignity
of
the
Republick
,
hath
its
Source
from
your
internal
Greatness
,
and
is
that
Mother
of
the
Honor
and
Reverence
due
,
and
deferred
to
you
;
which
Glory
accompanies
,
that
inflames
gallant
Souls
,
being
peculiar
to
the
immortal
God
,
or
his
immediate
Representatives
,
as
you
are
.
All
these
things
do
adorn
you
,
but
the
Foundation
and
Basis
of
your
State
is
Religion
,
by
which
Subjects
are
made
better
,
and
more
peaceful
.
You
have
an
ancient
Doctrine
imprinted
in
you
,
and
received
by
Tradition
from
your
Ancestors
,
that
all
our
Enjoyments
are
bestowed
upon
us
by
God
,
and
by
him
continued
to
us
.
To
believe
this
is
commendable
,
but
so
as
you
believe
it
,
that
is
,
avoiding
Irreligion
and
Superstition
,
both
of
them
great
mischiefs
.
The
insultations
over
mens
weakness
,
which
were
prevalent
in
times
of
Ignorance
,
are
received
by
you
only
in
appearance
,
who
do
not
compel
men
to
Faith
against
their
wills
,
but
are
of
opinion
,
that
a
right
Judgment
in
Holy
matters
is
insinuated
by
God
into
mens
minds
,
and
that
the
Devotion
which
doth
not
proceed
from
the
choice
of
the
heart
,
is
unacceptable
to
God
;
but
that
false
Opinions
are
subdued
by
length
of
time
,
not
by
the
violence
and
commands
of
such
as
being
chosen
into
the
Sacred
Ministry
,
do
exasperate
all
things
,
and
retain
nothing
of
that
Office
besides
the
Name
and
Revenues
.
You
do
not
take
these
men
into
your
Counsels
,
being
aware
,
that
such
are
for
the
most
part
unsound
at
heart
,
and
for
audaciousness
formidable
:
of
no
moderation
,
but
dangerously
inquisitive
into
the
Designs
of
Princes
,
and
Secrets
of
State
.
Ye
are
indeed
devout
in
Religious
Worship
,
but
do
prescribe
its
Ministers
a
measure
of
Church-Possessions
.
There
is
a
Prohibition
in
your
Laws
for
the
Augmentation
of
Church-Livings
without
leave
from
the
Senate
.
For
you
think
it
an
irreligious
thing
,
pious
Liberalities
should
be
alienated
,
and
the
last
Wills
of
dying
Persons
turned
to
ends
,
for
which
they
did
not
leave
them
.
Between
an
open
neglect
of
Gods
Service
,
and
a
slavish
fear
of
God
,
as
between
two
Rocks
,
you
sail
happily
.
From
hence
flourishes
among
you
that
unmoveable
and
stedfast
Vprightness
of
Justice
in
distributing
every
one
his
own
,
without
the
trifling
delays
and
captious
advantages
of
the
practice
in
corrupt
Courts
of
Judicature
;
by
this
means
so
many
people
are
united
under
equal
Laws
into
your
Empire
and
Jurisdiction
.
This
you
superadd
to
your
noble
Customs
;
nothing
among
you
is
bought
and
sold
.
Publick
Offices
are
the
Rewards
of
Vertue
;
and
if
there
be
any
contrary
instance
,
it
hath
been
introduced
through
the
necessity
of
hard
times
.
Your
moderate
Revenues
,
without
crying
up
or
down
the
price
of
money
,
almost
the
highest
and
lowest
equally
contribute
.
The
sum
growing
from
thence
is
not
consumed
and
lost
before
the
true
uses
are
answered
for
which
is
was
levied
,
by
the
multitude
of
Collectors
,
and
by
profuse
gratifications
;
whilst
each
do
stop
some
as
their
own
,
and
give
away
more
lightly
,
as
being
none
of
their
own
.
You
cajol
them
to
part
with
a
little
money
for
great
Occasions
,
never
constrain
them
;
which
is
a
handsom
sleight
in
managing
matters
.
So
that
there
are
no
complaints
in
the
case
;
or
if
there
be
,
the
Senate
never
examines
them
,
having
no
inclination
to
convict
misinformers
.
They
neither
hear
the
Accusers
,
nor
punish
the
accused
;
thinking
it
dishonourable
to
give
satisfaction
without
occasion
:
and
that
it
is
only
the
part
of
a
bad
Prince
to
force
the
Conscience
to
Honesty
.
This
is
to
be
attributed
to
your
singular
Policy
,
with
which
as
it
were
the
Top
of
your
Vertues
,
foreseeing
so
many
imminent
dangers
,
ye
have
driven
off
the
threatning
Clouds
;
always
Vmpires
of
the
disagreeing
World
,
courted
even
when
distressed
;
and
have
in
your
Adversities
perswaded
,
that
there
is
more
relief
to
be
had
in
your
Friendship
,
than
in
the
spacious
promises
of
many
Kings
.
And
all
this
who
would
not
admire
to
be
done
with
an
Outlandish
Army
and
General
.
It
is
the
Art
of
your
Government
to
trust
Strangers
,
not
an
Evidence
of
your
own
Valours
,
being
decayed
.
How
warily
is
this
provided
?
it
appears
,
lest
any
of
your
Own
puffed
up
with
Martial
Glory
,
should
aim
at
that
which
heretofore
confounded
the
Roman
,
your
parallel
State
,
of
which
in
other
matters
you
are
close
Followers
,
especially
in
instances
of
Mercy
.
That
was
contented
with
one
Prison
,
and
that
often
empty
:
I
lived
with
you
seven
years
,
and
saw
but
one
poor
Malefactor
executed
,
over
whom
the
Judge
groaned
,
and
cryed
.
No
Prince
loves
to
inflict
more
gentle
punishments
,
and
this
he
doth
honourably
.
For
it
is
not
Majesty
whose
Object
is
Dread
,
but
Cruelty
;
and
nothing
is
more
gallant
for
Men
in
Dignity
,
than
to
grant
pardon
for
many
things
,
to
ask
and
need
it
for
nothing
.
We
French
had
happy
proof
of
this
.
For
whoever
read
or
heard
of
so
much
meekness
as
we
have
found
.
It
is
now
above
eighteen
years
ago
,
since
we
have
not
seen
the
Sword
drawn
but
against
Enemies
amidst
so
many
provocations
of
severity
.
He
that
was
supreme
Minister
among
us
,
and
that
managed
the
Reins
of
the
Publick
Fate
,
was
ambitious
rather
to
be
thought
to
have
found
us
good
,
than
to
have
made
us
so
.
Thus
did
he
seal
the
Publick
Peace
with
shedding
no
high
Blood
:
nor
was
he
instrumental
,
that
for
securing
his
Dominion
,
Executions
of
rich
Delinquents
should
upon
their
Attainder
be
estreated
into
the
Exchequer
.
By
gentleness
he
shamed
men
into
Obedience
:
whereupon
prosperous
Fortune
did
succeed
all
his
Attempts
to
the
Envy
of
the
astonished
World
.
This
is
he
whose
many
Victories
,
many
good
Services
ye
have
often
heard
of
;
but
especially
in
the
blessed
Aspect
of
this
time
,
wherein
the
security
of
France
,
and
so
many
honourable
Advantages
are
to
be
acknowledged
to
have
been
received
from
him
next
under
God
;
whom
as
the
Top
of
your
Glory
you
have
enrolled
in
the
List
of
so
many
Heroes
,
whose
Names
mounted
in
the
Chariot
of
Fame
and
Honour
,
shall
flye
through
the
remotest
Regions
:
who
have
founded
your
liberty
in
the
Waters
;
who
have
given
Laws
to
the
Sea
;
who
have
made
the
Pelasgi
and
Amathuntis
,
the
Court
of
Alcinous
,
the
Grange
of
Ulysses
,
and
the
Kingdoms
where
Jupiter
crept
,
about
which
at
this
day
there
is
such
stubborn
fighting
,
tributary
to
you
.
O
Blood
defiled
with
no
sordid
Commonalty
!
and
heat
of
Spirit
allayed
with
no
tincture
of
a
meaner
Bed
!
Though
I
had
a
fiery
activity
of
Fancy
,
I
could
not
equalize
in
worthy
sort
the
Honours
of
that
excellent
Nation
,
which
being
sprung
from
a
narrow
spot
of
Ground
,
having
entred
the
Deep
in
Gallies
,
hath
spread
its
Fleets
parallel
with
the
Course
of
the
Sun
.
O
Country
!
O
Empress
of
the
vast
Gulph
!
owne
thy
Native
,
Beloved
by
thee
upon
the
sole
account
of
the
Name
of
Priolo
.
So
may
thy
people
eternally
possess
,
and
eternally
desire
to
possess
under
the
best
Prince
,
the
best
,
that
is
,
a
quiet
State
:
so
may
the
Semitars
fear
the
peaceable
Gowns
:
so
may
thy
Fate
never
ebb
:
so
never
may
the
triumphing
Ottoman
,
that
fierce
Potentate
,
that
perpetual
Attaquer
of
high
Vertues
increase
by
thy
Ruines
,
but
may
thy
Empire
flourish
without
end
.

A
Thing
of
singular
estimation
and
the
most
remarkable
in
any
Story
:
Among
the
French
when
a
King
succeeded
five
years
old
,
that
the
Queen
a
Foreigner
,
and
Mazarine
a
Stranger
should
govern
,
whilst
the
Provinces
were
refractory
,
the
People
in
Rebellion
,
the
Princes
and
Parliament
opposed
greatly
,
the
Spaniard
and
the
English
watching
their
Advantages
.
That
he
breaking
through
all
this
,
and
having
gloriously
concluded
a
Peace
,
should
dye
in
the
Kings
Arms
,
against
whom
had
been
raised
so
many
Designs
,
so
many
Plots
,
so
many
Slanders
.
That
is
a
mighty
thing
:
wherein
is
to
be
considered
as
the
rarerness
of
the
matter
,
so
the
difficulty
;
for
in
other
Stories
the
very
Novelty
detains
the
Readers
.
Here
is
nothing
of
particular
Narrative
,
all
is
known
and
published
:
whence
follows
,
that
only
the
Phrase
must
be
attended
;
wherein
,
being
the
only
point
expected
,
it
is
hard
to
give
content
.

HAving
arrived
at
rest
of
mind
from
many
dangers
and
troubles
,
I
am
resolved
to
pass
the
residue
of
my
days
free
from
medling
any
more
with
State-affairs
;
and
lest
I
should
spend
my
time
in
sloth
,
or
be
constrained
by
servile
dependencies
to
flatter
great
Ones
,
and
hang
upon
the
Court
amidst
the
lazy
and
obsequious
Retainers
on
the
Palace
,
have
undertaken
to
rescue
from
the
injury
of
oblivion
,
or
mis-reports
,
the
most
memorable
occurrents
in
France
,
and
record
them
to
posterity
,
if
that
priviledge
may
be
expected
from
,
my
endeavours
as
may
possibly
,
the
rather
because
my
mind
rallying
against
the
insults
of
Fortune
,
is
now
fully
set
at
liberty
from
hope
and
fear
,
and
taking
part
with
any
of
the
Princes
.
The
retirement
that
I
had
determined
,
could
not
appear
under
a
more
fair
pretext
,
nor
did
any
subject
occur
either
more
copious
for
acquiring
praise
,
or
more
durable
to
transmit
to
late
memory
;
besides
that
the
work
appeared
suitable
to
my
Age
now
upon
the
declining
,
and
some
expectations
and
favourable
opinions
of
Foreigners
concerning
me
;
although
I
am
not
ignorant
how
odious
it
is
,
to
repeat
these
matters
whilst
grudges
are
yet
fresh
,
whereupon
I
shall
be
suspected
by
some
for
a
Flatterer
;
and
offend
others
by
sullen
Truth
which
always
goeth
to
the
quick
,
when
it
proceeds
with
uncorrupted
Faith
and
undaunted
freedom
of
Speech
.
Therefore
I
shall
comprise
in
this
Decade
with
as
much
indifference
and
courage
as
I
shall
be
able
the
whole
Ministry
of
Mazarine
.
For
that
I
appears
to
me
for
variety
of
Action
,
sadness
of
Accidents
,
strangeness
of
Dangers
,
and
at
last
for
successfulness
of
Events
most
worthy
to
be
recorded
.
1.
After
that
Lewis
XIII
.
took
Armand
Richlien
for
prime
Minister
of
State
,
the
Debates
both
of
Peace
and
War
were
carried
on
more
fortunately
and
with
better
faith
.
The
name
of
Armand
was
renowned
all
over
Europe
:
all
business
applied
to
him
as
Sharer
in
the
Kingdom
.
He
was
the
only
person
in
the
eye
of
the
City
,
of
the
Provinces
,
of
the
Armies
,
not
by
secret
workings
but
openly
,
none
contradicting
.
The
better
any
stood
affected
to
him
,
he
was
the
more
advanced
in
Wealth
and
Honours
;
and
the
most
eminent
,
were
the
forwardest
to
be
at
his
devotion
.
All
the
world
cryed
never
was
such
a
rare
Creature
,
nor
ever
would
be
again
.
Then
were
his
Actions
repeated
in
particular
.
The
crushing
of
the
Rebels
,
the
frighting
Rochel
the
Head-quarters
of
the
Sectaries
,
chaining
up
the
Ocean
,
and
the
Kingdom
setled
:
that
by
the
relief
of
Casaille
,
restoring
the
D.
of
Mantoua
,
and
bringing
the
Savoyard
to
extremities
,
Laws
were
given
to
Italy
:
that
to
the
astonishment
of
the
Spaniard
he
had
ridden
in
Triumph
over
the
Alpes
and
Pyrenaean
:
had
eased
the
German
Princes
from
the
incroachments
of
the
Empire
,
and
broken
the
House
of
Austria
in
many
Parts
.
This
was
the
Tamer
of
the
Danube
,
this
of
the
Rhyne
.
The
Pale
of
France
was
the
Ocean
,
and
remotest
Rivers
.
That
the
Armies
,
Provinces
,
Fleets
,
all
were
compact
within
themselves
by
his
means
;
that
Justice
was
planted
amongst
the
Subjects
,
and
awfulness
umidst
the
Confederates
,
the
City
it self
was
improved
in
stately
Buildings
,
and
enlarged
.
Somewhat
indeed
had
been
carried
with
a
high
hand
,
but
only
to
keep
the
rest
in
quiet
.
All
this
was
reported
of
Richlieu
,
and
believed
by
the
World
.
But
because
things
arrived
at
the
highest
pitch
,
do
not
long
hold
there
,
nor
can
prosperity
ever
support
it self
,
he
begun
to
sink
under
his
own
greatness
.
Then
was
death
to
have
been
called
for
when
by
Providence
it
came
:
and
by
Fate
preventing
the
turn
of
Fortune
,
his
last
day
obviated
the
dangers
that
were
imminent
.
A
Fistula
in
the
Fundament
presented
Armand
this
timely
dâth
.
To
whose
end
before
I
come
,
it
will
not
be
impertinent
to
premit
a
word
or
two
.
Lewis
being
grown
weary
of
a
Favourite
that
lay
so
heavy
upon
him
,
had
without
doubt
made
many
and
grievous
complaints
of
the
carriage
and
pride
of
Richlieu
.
There
was
one
Henry
D'Effiat
de
Cinque-Mars
in
great
Vogue
at
Court
for
the
Kings
special
Favour
,
and
certain
Qualities
resembling
Vertues
.
He
was
obliging
to
his
Friends
with
his
interest
,
and
by
relieving
them
with
gifts
:
towards
strangers
too
affable
and
courteous
.
He
had
also
advantages
of
Fortune
in
a
graceful
presence
.
But
far
from
gravity
of
manners
,
or
staidnese
.
He
was
airy
and
gallant
,
as
is
ordinarily
incident
to
that
Age
which
had
not
yet
arrived
at
twenty
two
.
Having
therefore
searched
into
the
Kings
jealousies
of
and
distasts
against
Richlieu
,
he
several
times
had
an
inclination
to
have
made
an
attempt
upon
him
,
whether
unguarded
,
which
was
rarely
,
or
amidst
attendance
,
that
were
admirers
of
such
a
comely
personage
.
These
thoughts
spur'd
on
his
youthful
mind
,
had
not
that
which
is
the
bane
of
all
great
undertakings
,
a
desire
of
passing
unpunished
amidst
the
sweets
of
Vice
,
pulled
him
back
.
And
beside
he
durst
not
attempt
that
alone
,
which
some
would
censure
for
an
hainous
act
,
others
thers
would
magnifie
as
an
excellent
service
.
Therefore
he
took
in
to
his
Counsel
the
Duke
de
Bouillon
,
a
person
of
an
excellent
Fame
and
temper
of
Spirit
,
a
mighty
aid
for
so
great
a
design
:
drew
in
de
Thou
and
others
.
In
the
first
place
,
it
was
judged
,
the
safest
way
to
truck
with
the
Spaniard
by
the
concurrence
of
whose
Arms
the
Party
in
France
against
Richlieu
begun
greatly
to
advance
;
Now
when
Affairs
proved
unsuccessful
,
it
was
concluded
the
King
would
soon
forsake
and
throw
off
a
Minister
,
sufficiently
disgusted
by
him
;
and
there
was
no
other
means
to
ruine
him
safely
.
That
Lewis
had
so
great
an
affection
for
his
Kingdom
,
as
that
he
would
never
move
him
as
long
as
his
Estate
prospered
by
his
Service
.
This
Intrigue
was
soon
discovered
,
either
by
the
practices
of
Richlieu
,
or
because
the
French
can
never
keep
Counsel
,
and
revealed
to
the
King
by
Chavigny
,
a
great
Creature
of
the
Cardinals
.
At
that
time
was
the
King
abroad
at
Narbo
,
whither
he
had
travelled
in
very
stormy
and
rainy
weather
,
it
being
but
the
beginning
of
February
.
The
pretence
was
the
Siege
of
Perpignan
,
which
Richlieu
the
prime
Minister
had
advised
to
get
the
King
out
of
the
way
,
and
for
diversion
of
the
Enemy
.
Close
Guards
being
left
at
Paris
to
watch
the
Queen
and
the
young
Princes
.
This
Plot
then
was
discovered
to
His
Majesty
,
when
his
Eminence
not
well
in
body
,
but
worse
in
mind
was
upon
his
way
homeward
.
The
passage
is
strange
,
and
scarce
to
be
credited
by
the
Readers
,
that
the
King
displeased
with
Richlieu
,
and
bearing
affection
towards
D'Effiat
,
when
once
informed
that
he
held
intelligence
with
die
Spaniard
,
immediately
putting
away
all
tenderness
consented
to
the
death
of
his
special
Favourite
,
such
influence
had
either
the
love
of
his
Kingdom
,
or
the
fear
of
the
Cardinal
.
Thereupon
were
Cinque-Mars
the
Grand
Constable
,
and
de
Thou
late
Master
of
Requests
apprehended
at
Narbo
,
the
very
day
that
the
King
had
but
in
the
morning
,
embraced
and
kissed
Cinque-Mars
,
and
had
talked
very
courteously
to
de
Thou
:
having
naturally
that
quality
,
and
being
practised
to
disgust
his
anger
under
fine
language
.
The
King
being
glad
when
the
matter
was
over
,
but
perplexed
till
it
was
put
in
execution
,
parts
from
Narbo
.
The
same
was
done
to
de
Bouillon
at
âasailles
.
The
Prisoners
are
brought
to
Lyons
,
where
by
chosen
Judges
that
were
resolved
to
do
Richlieu's
work
before
ever
they
heard
the
impeachment
,
they
are
condemned
to
lose
their
lives
.
De
Bouillon
got
off
by
the
Surrender
of
Sedan
,
Cinque-Mars
and
de
thou
pay
dear
for
their
destructive
friendship
with
the
loss
of
their
lives
.
Whether
Cinque-Mars
practised
de
Thou
to
draw
him
into
the
Plot
,
or
whether
de
Thou
was
contented
enough
to
be
wrought
upon
,
doth
not
appear
.
However
both
were
upon
a
Scaffold
beheaded
,
with
great
compassion
of
the
Standers
by
,
and
lamentation
of
all
the
Country
.
De
Thou
bore
his
condition
not
stoutly
,
but
with
a
Christian
sense
was
long
and
earnest
at
his
prayers
,
which
now
might
receive
no
comfortable
return
.
No
Criminal
hath
been
known
to
suffer
with
more
pity
of
the
Beholders
.
D'Effiat
received
his
Fate
resolutely
in
the
prime
of
his
Youth
,
by
his
own
vertues
and
others
vices
running
headlong
upon
Fame
.
The
King
was
then
onward
in
his
Journey
on
the
way
to
Paris
,
Richlieu
that
was
ever
satisfied
with
punishment
,
never
with
repentance
,
ordered
the
execution
,
and
almost
looked
on
to
see
it
done
;
and
as
if
he
took
content
to
hear
their
dying
groans
,
was
loth
to
depart
from
Lyons
,
certified
the
King
by
Letter
,
that
Perpignan
was
taken
,
and
his
Enemies
cut
off
.
Which
was
an
unhandsom
expression
.
Reason
indeed
there
is
to
blame
for
ingratitude
and
indiscretion
D'Effiat
especially
,
who
might
easily
have
compassed
by
time
only
,
what
he
attempted
with
over-hastiness
,
and
by
ill
practices
against
the
Laws
both
of
God
and
man
.
The
two
poor
men
are
worthily
condemned
for
being
Traitors
:
but
the
principal
cause
of
their
death
was
,
because
they
could
not
brook
with
a
slavish
tameness
to
avow
the
fatal
baseness
of
their
Country
.
The
one
was
Son
to
a
Mareshal
of
France
:
The
other
received
a
great
addition
to
his
splendor
from
James
Augustus
Thuanus
our
most
eminent
Historian
,
of
an
Illustrious
Family
among
those
of
the
long
Robe
,
prime
President
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
a
person
renowned
,
of
great
vertue
,
and
by
his
ancient
Linage
allied
to
many
honourable
Houses
of
France
.
Richlieu
,
either
haunted
or
stung
in
conscience
at
the
remembrance
of
so
many
Executions
,
never
free
from
discontent
,
gives
out
that
the
tenderness
to
his
Country
imported
him
beyond
all
private
affections
.
And
now
more
like
a
Sceleton
than
his
Eminence
,
being
carried
upon
the
shoulders
of
men
,
hath
houses
broken
down
to
make
him
room
to
come
in
at
,
so
much
French
blood
lost
at
home
,
so
much
shed
in
the
field
disquiets
and
dejects
his
spirit
now
imprisoned
in
a
languishing
body
.
I
have
but
one
request
to
make
the
Readers
of
this
Story
,
that
they
would
not
suffer
so
many
Noble
men
executed
to
pass
off
in
oblivion
,
as
though
they
stole
out
from
the
Stage
of
the
World
.
Let
Persons
of
Honour
challenge
this
Priviledge
,
that
as
they
are
distinguished
from
the
Vulgar
by
their
Funerals
,
so
they
may
receive
,
a
peculiar
memorial
in
recording
their
fall
,
I
mean
the
Vendosmes
,
the
Ornani
,
the
Marillaes
,
the
Montmorancies
,
upon
whom
I
judge
it
best
not
to
dilate
the
Cramaillaes
,
the
Bassompeirres
,
the
Vistries
,
the
Chastelneufs
,
with
innumerable
others
basely
imprisoned
.
At
length
this
scarcely
breathing
Corps
,
nothing
benefited
by
the
Waters
of
Borbogne
,
is
brought
to
Paris
,
carrying
about
it
the
incentive
of
its
own
pain
in
a
spirit
more
exulcerated
than
the
body
.
Many
marks
of
exasperation
,
formerly
smothered
,
then
burst
out
.
Distrust
of
the
King
:
a
desire
to
remove
such
as
were
not
Confidents
:
imposing
upon
his
Masters
ear
by
Chavigny
,
growing
daily
fierce
through
an
habitual
and
implanted
arrogancy
,
whilst
Lewis
suspected
Armand
,
Armand
did
no
less
suspect
Lewis
.
A
matter
of
Scandal
!
In
the
mean
time
Richlien's
distemper
grew
upon
him
.
Many
discoursed
of
the
benefits
of
Liberty
.
The
greatest
number
past
their
censure
who
were
likely
to
succeed
in
favour
:
all
called
for
Peace
;
cryed
out
against
Wars
which
had
been
commenced
against
the
House
of
Austria
,
not
so
much
out
of
desire
to
enlarge
the
Empire
,
or
upon
any
considerable
expectation
,
as
for
the
establishing
the
power
of
Richlieu
.
Some
few
days
before
his
last
,
His
Majesty
came
to
Town
to
visit
the
sick
Cardinal
.
Many
tears
past
on
both
sides
,
and
tokens
of
affection
.
The
King
thought
it
his
best
course
to
lay
aside
his
displeasure
,
and
not
to
grate
the
memory
of
a
dying
man
with
any
disgustful
words
.
Therefore
during
the
whole
time
of
his
sickness
,
he
visited
him
by
Messengers
oftner
than
Kings
are
wont
,
and
sent
to
him
his
principal
Physitians
;
were
it
out
of
care
,
or
to
observe
his
condition
.
The
last
day
frequent
intelligence
was
brought
of
his
declining
.
No
body
imagining
he
would
be
so
curious
to
enquire
,
what
he
should
be
sorry
to
hear
,
yet
His
Majesty
put
on
his
Countenance
an
appearance
of
sadness
,
when
he
was
sure
that
his
grudge
was
satisfied
:
and
conceiving
he
might
now
be
safely
kind
,
constrained
himself
to
let
fall
a
tear
,
and
forced
groans
from
a
joyful
breast
.
Armand
du
Plessis
Richlieu
was
born
at
Paris
,
of
a
noble
and
untainted
Extraction
;
his
Father
was
Francis
du
Plessis
,
his
Mother
Susanne
du
Port
;
he
had
a
fair
Estate
which
he
wasted
.
First
an
Abbot
,
afterwards
Bishop
.
No
excellent
Preacher
,
having
fed
upon
the
Chimaera's
of
the
Sorbon
,
unacquainted
with
the
more
polite
Learning
,
while
the
Marques
d'Ancres
was
in
favour
,
Secretary
to
the
Queen
Mother
.
Then
confin'd
to
Avignon
.
Recalled
from
thence
by
her
means
,
was
made
prime
Minister
of
State
.
Shortly
after
the
poor
Lady
found
her
favours
over-hastily
heaped
upon
him
;
for
she
being
by
his
means
chased
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
an
Exile
,
having
wandered
thorow
Holland
and
England
without
any
certain
abode
,
at
length
in
Cologne
,
broken
with
afflictious
,
changed
an
unhappy
life
for
a
desirable
death
.
But
this
by
the
way
.
To
return
to
Richlieu
,
whole
shape
,
if
Posterity
shall
be
so
curious
as
to
enquire
,
was
comely
and
tall
;
nor
wanted
he
gravity
tempered
with
a
graceful
aspect
.
He
lived
57
years
:
was
in
favour
18.
Having
passed
a
middle
age
,
in
respect
of
glory
,
and
eternal
fame
may
be
judged
to
have
run
the
longest
period
of
life
.
For
he
had
obtained
whatever
could
be
wished
for
.
What
could
Fortune
heap
upon
one
so
succcssful
and
accomplished
?
What
was
more
blessed
than
for
him
continuing
in
Honour
,
flourishing
in
Fame
,
to
secure
future
Events
,
seeing
that
nothing
in
Nature
is
so
fickle
as
Power
that
depends
upon
anothers
pleasure
?
After
the
decease
of
Richlieu
the
Cabinet-Counsel
to
the
King
were
Cardinal
Julius
Mazarine
,
a
Roman
by
birth
,
Leo
Bouthillier
Chavigny
and
Soublet
Noyer
both
Secretaries
of
State
.
This
Triumvirate
did
not
agree
.
Some
courting
by
secret
addresses
the
Queen
,
others
Monsieur
,
others
the
Dauphin
,
as
the
rising
Sun
.
Soublet
a
passionate
man
,
somewhat
fierce
,
professing
the
Jesuitical
Position
,
that
vertue
requires
no
other
reward
but
that
of
a
good
conscience
,
which
sets
a
generous
lustre
upon
actions
,
under
that
veil
disguised
his
ambition
:
a
man
of
blameless
conversation
;
for
wisdom
and
judiciousness
but
indifferent
,
having
such
an
estate
,
as
he
did
not
increase
by
any
unworthy
practices
,
though
he
wanted
not
opportunities
to
have
done
it
,
in
that
point
highly
to
be
commended
that
he
made
not
use
of
them
.
Greatly
in
Richlieu's
favour
for
his
observance
and
industry
;
one
that
so
respected
his
friends
in
prosperity
,
as
never
to
forsake
them
when
they
declined
.
Leo
Bouthillier
had
contracted
pride
from
Richlieu
,
whose
support
now
failing
,
he
thought
it
more
seasable
to
get
into
be
the
second
,
than
to
aim
at
the
prime
Ministry
.
Therefore
did
he
put
Mazarine
forward
,
but
so
as
himself
a
while
to
pass
for
his
equal
,
not
as
acting
under
him
afterwards
would
have
supplanted
him
;
of
which
hereafter
.
Mazarine
whether
by
Fate
or
some
peculiar
Genius
,
won
upon
Inferiors
,
upon
Equals
,
upon
Superiors
,
by
variety
of
applications
.
He
had
a
comely
Personage
,
but
was
most
renowned
for
an
acute
and
subtile
wit
,
for
experience
in
business
,
for
vast
designs
,
and
equal
successes
;
one
who
never
gave
Counsel
,
or
laid
Plot
that
did
not
prove
effectual
.
To
this
was
joyned
such
a
discreetness
of
carriage
,
that
though
he
had
got
above
many
,
he
was
equally
dear
to
all
,
charming
envy
by
an
Art
of
conversation
.
From
these
and
such
like
qualities
it
was
evident
to
such
as
can
skill
the
Court
,
that
he
was
the
one
man
that
must
shortly
carry
all
before
him
.
Nor
did
it
prove
otherwise
.
For
being
imployed
in
the
managing
our
State
,
and
consequently
almost
all
Europe
,
he
brought
those
Enterprises
to
pass
,
which
this
day
put
the
whole
World
in
admiration
.
His
Majesty
now
wholly
intending
Peace
,
had
resolved
to
send
Cardinal
Mazarine
his
Commissioner
to
the
Treaty
of
Munster
,
whereof
I
shall
speak
afterwards
:
but
altering
his
mind
.
thought
it
better
to
use
him
as
his
prime
Minister
.
Then
first
of
all
was
Mazarine
had
in
open
Honour
among
us
by
being
admitted
to
be
God-father
to
the
Dauphin
,
whom
he
named
Lewis
that
is
now
the
Fourteenth
,
who
shall
be
the
Theme
and
Subject
of
our
Work
.
About
this
time
the
King
falls
sick
at
S.
Germains
.
Prayers
are
made
for
his
recovery
.
The
Princes
,
the
Nobility
,
and
Commons
attend
the
Issue
of
his
weakness
.
He
being
sollicitous
at
the
approach
of
death
,
had
many
debates
in
his
mind
,
He
thought
it
unsafe
to
trust
the
Queen
with
the
Government
,
(
Madam
Cheureuse
,
which
was
her
great
Confident
,
then
kept
in
Spain
,
and
secret
Intelligence
by
Letters
passing
between
them
,
displeased
his
Majesty
)
To
Monsieur
he
was
never
truly
reconciled
.
Therefore
it
is
resolved
to
commit
the
Government
to
neither
:
but
that
ten
Ministers
be
chosen
to
bridle
both
their
powers
.
At
length
His
Majesties
Will
is
made
and
sealed
.
Each
presently
strive
to
insinuate
themselves
into
the
Queens
favour
by
divers
practices
,
especially
Noyer
that
assumed
to
himself
the
glory
of
making
the
Will.
He
is
supplanted
by
Chavigny
,
quits
the
Court
,
and
asks
leave
to
retire
:
soon
after
pines
and
frets
himself
to
death
;
no
Rules
of
Wisdom
sufficing
to
still
or
sustain
his
Spirit
.
Chavigny
stayed
behind
but
as
a
shadow
or
empty
appearance
of
business
,
Mazarine
leaving
no
means
unassay'd
,
got
the
sole
Management
.
Which
Prize
having
obtained
,
after
much
deliberation
,
having
carefully
weighed
his
own
and
his
Competitors
interests
,
he
let
slip
no
kind
of
deference
possible
towards
any
,
either
in
publick
or
private
.
All
came
in
,
excepting
the
Bishop
of
Beauvais
,
Beaufort
,
and
Madame
Cheureuse
now
returned
to
the
French
Court
,
that
were
afterwards
turned
all
out
of
Favour
,
having
been
the
Contrivers
of
their
own
disgrace
.
His
Majesty
sometimes
a
little
cheered
,
then
anon
spent
,
when
his
death
approached
,
spoke
to
the
Queen
,
supported
by
her
two
Sons
,
and
the
Nobles
standing
by
him
,
much
to
this
purpose
.
Seeing
that
decay
of
Nature
doth
now
bring
my
life
to
an
end
,
I
haste
the
few
words
that
I
am
to
speak
will
be
the
more
sacred
with
you
,
the
nearer
I
am
entring
upon
those
places
of
which
Divines
speak
such
glorious
things
.
By
this
right
hand
which
this
day
lays
down
the
Scepter
and
transmits
it
to
this
your
King
(
pointing
at
his
Son
and
Heir
)
I
advise
and
adjure
you
ever
to
pay
him
unspotted
Loyalty
.
Reverence
him
,
and
do
your
diligence
that
such
a
prosperous
State
may
not
be
impaired
by
my
untimely
death
,
and
his
tender
age
.
I
leave
you
a
Kingdom
firm
and
flourishing
,
and
unless
it
offer
,
violence
to
it self
by
Civil
dissensions
,
that
can
never
come
to
other
ruine
.
Not
Armies
,
nor
Treasures
are
the
Pillars
of
this
Empire
,
but
Counsel
and
Concord
.
More
he
said
,
which
having
been
then
published
,
I
forbear
to
transcribe
hither
.
Looking
upon
Conde
,
Your
Son
(
said
he
)
hath
won
a
brave
Battel
Now
the
D.
d'Enguien
was
General
in
the
Borders
of
Champaigne
,
and
a
little
while
after
gave
the
Spaniard
,
laying
an
untimely
Siege
to
Rocroy
,
a
great
Defeat
;
and
having
raised
the
Siege
,
and
given
them
chase
,
went
far
up
into
their
Country
,
and
laid
it
waste
.
This
glimpse
the
King
gave
,
before
he
expired
,
rather
after
a
prophetical
sort
,
then
that
he
was
not
perfect
in
his
senses
.
He
earnestly
advised
Gaston
Duke
of
Orleans
to
amend
his
life
.
Turning
to
the
Duke
of
Engoulesmes
said
,
that
All
things
leaning
only
upon
pleasure
.
are
but
fading
;
and
repentance
would
follow
speedily
,
or
more
late
.
Many
other
excellent
sayings
he
uttered
according
to
the
Christian
Doctrine
of
the
Hope
of
a
better
life
,
and
such
sweet
Consolations
of
Mortality
that
is
very
loth
to
think
of
coming
to
an
end
;
which
being
so
often
thundered
out
in
Pulpits
,
I
here
wave
.
No
mortal
man
,
either
ancient
or
late
,
did
so
couragiously
receive
the
assault
of
death
.
At
length
May
15.
1643.
he
dyed
an
easie
death
.
Lamented
by
some
of
his
intimate
friends
,
but
worthy
to
have
been
followed
with
a
larger
mourning
of
all
French-men
,
had
he
chosen
to
act
by
himself
what
he
could
well
have
done
,
rather
than
by
Colleagues
to
whom
he
was
all
his
life
time
obnoxious
,
to
his
own
and
Countries
great
prejudice
.
He
was
singularly
courteous
to
all
about
him
.
Free
from
pride
,
yet
retained
Majesty
and
Gallantry
of
Spirit
.
Moderate
in
pleasures
;
entirely
loving
his
Kingdom
:
and
had
he
been
allowed
a
longer
space
of
life
,
would
have
proved
the
best
of
Kings
.
Many
observed
that
which
perhaps
is
of
no
great
importance
,
that
the
same
day
he
came
to
the
Empire
,
was
the
last
of
his
life
;
for
his
Father
Henry
was
murdered
on
the
very
same
day
of
May.
2.
The
Princes
and
Nobles
came
all
up
to
Town
:
and
none
made
a
greater
shew
of
mourning
than
they
that
were
most
glad
at
it
.
His
Funerals
were
performed
in
such
order
as
is
proper
for
Kings
:
and
the
exposing
in
State
being
over
,
his
Corps
is
interred
amongst
his
Predecessors
at
S.
Denis
,
without
any
pomp
,
or
but
very
little
.
Such
directions
had
he
given
when
he
ordered
concerning
his
Burial
.
When
Lewis
was
dead
,
every
one
begun
to
entertain
serious
thoughts
of
his
own
estate
.
I
judge
it
therefore
seasonable
,
before
I
compile
the
intended
story
,
to
declare
how
the
Princes
,
the
Parliament
,
the
Ecclesiasticks
,
the
Provinces
,
the
Armies
stood
affected
;
what
were
the
Bounds
of
the
Empire
;
how
firm
the
Allies
;
and
in
sum
,
what
was
the
state
of
our
Affairs
;
what
Parts
in
the
Government
were
strong
,
what
again
weak
;
So
that
not
only
the
Products
and
Events
of
Actions
,
which
ordinarily
are
but
contingent
,
but
the
reason
too
and
causes
of
them
may
be
known
.
The
Death
of
Lewis
,
as
it
was
joyfully
taken
at
the
first
heat
by
those
that
were
transported
with
it
,
so
did
it
stir
up
divers
thoughts
and
affections
not
only
in
the
City
and
Parliament
,
but
likewise
in
the
Provinces
,
and
amidst
the
Armies
and
Officers
.
The
Followers
and
Friends
of
the
Banished
and
Imprisoned
begun
to
hold
up
their
heads
.
The
King
towards
his
later
days
,
whether
stung
in
conscience
,
or
to
throw
an
Odium
upon
Richlieu
,
and
that
he
might
lay
at
his
door
the
cruelty
of
all
proceedings
,
had
recalled
the
Banished
,
and
release
those
that
had
long
lain
in
prison
.
3.
The
Princes
of
the
Blood
were
joyful
,
as
is
usual
upon
change
of
Government
,
resuming
presently
their
liberty
with
intention
to
use
their
power
more
licentiously
,
as
having
to
do
with
,
a
King
but
five
years
old
,
a
Spanish
Woman
,
and
Mazarine
an
Italian
.
For
the
Bishop
of
Beauvais
did
not
long
continue
in
favour
,
as
one
insufficient
to
draw
in
such
a
yoke
,
as
his
Rivals
would
make
believe
.
Gaston
Duke
of
Orleans
,
the
Kings
Uncle
,
who
had
neither
love
,
nor
hatred
,
but
as
they
were
imprest
:
all
his
life
time
subject
to
the
Tuition
of
his
Counsellors
,
did
at
that
time
lead
a
life
free
from
cares
under
the
Conduct
of
the
Abbot
of
Rivieres
,
whose
Counsels
tending
to
Peace
,
he
did
not
always
follow
to
his
own
great
damage
.
Then
spent
he
his
days
in
jollity
,
his
nights
in
dancing
,
and
drew
money
to
bear
these
expences
out
of
the
Exchequer
,
which
as
long
as
it
stood
open
to
him
,
he
never
troubled
himself
about
the
Government
.
Conde
was
a
profound
Politician
.
He
had
a
strange
Art
of
living
.
Men
coming
new
from
the
Plough
,
or
Ship-broad
,
might
find
him
neither
stately
nor
guarded
,
and
he
would
freely
confer
with
them
.
He
was
open
to
all
,
and
enquired
into
every
thing
,
know
every
thing
.
He
minded
all
affairs
great
and
small
;
and
so
by
these
ways
,
more
than
the
clashing
of
Arms
,
raised
his
Estate
to
vast
Wealth
,
which
he
was
the
first
Conde
that
every
cared
to
heap
up
,
and
in
that
being
very
considerable
and
abounding
,
desired
that
nothing
but
the
Honour
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Publick
Welfare
with
his
private
Gains
.
Enguien
his
Son
leaving
all
care
either
of
State
or
Family
to
his
Father
,
then
only
affected
Martial
Glory
.
And
at
that
age
a
successful
daring
had
in
him
the
place
of
Valour
:
but
when
his
parts
attain
to
maturity
,
he
shall
come
to
the
highest
pitch
of
perfection
.
What
he
came
afterwards
to
be
,
the
order
of
the
Story
will
inform
.
His
Brother
Continewly
come
from
School
,
did
scarce
write
man
,
of
an
excellent
disposition
,
which
afterwards
inclined
to
Religion
,
not
that
which
consists
in
disputing
,
but
in
living
,
having
the
sap
of
good
works
:
in
seriousness
;
not
out
of
ostentation
.
Longueville
Son
in
Law
to
Conde
sailed
in
Condes
Bottom
,
yet
would
meddle
with
all
,
but
favoured
none
,
save
the
strongest
Party
:
if
they
came
to
be
low
,
would
slip
his
neck
out
of
the
Collar
.
After
the
Kings
death
,
he
had
proposed
to
get
all
the
strong
Holds
in
Normandy
under
his
Power
,
especially
Havre
de
Grace
;
that
so
secured
against
the
Normans
,
secured
against
the
King
,
he
might
play
Rex
in
that
Port.
Vendosme
the
natural
Son
of
Henry
IV.
by
Gabrielle
d'Estres
,
having
his
Estate
consumed
by
so
long
adversities
,
solaced
his
mind
grown
savage
by
such
continued
Exile
,
either
with
the
single
remembrance
of
his
former
Fortune
,
or
with
the
hopes
of
a
better
:
nor
did
he
plot
any
thing
else
,
but
how
by
all
possible
means
to
repair
the
Breaches
of
his
decayed
Family
.
The
Duke
de
Mercoeur
,
his
eldest
Son
lived
in
quiet
.
Beaufort
his
younger
,
did
upon
his
own
head
prepare
himself
a
way
to
the
prime
Ministry
,
for
which
attempt
he
afterwards
was
imprisoned
,
besides
that
he
had
somewhat
to
âo
with
Mombazon
.
I
am
certainly
informed
,
that
his
late
Majesty
before
his
death
,
did
very
particularly
recommend
these
Youths
to
the
Queen
.
The
Duke
of
Guise
resembling
his
Ancestors
in
Courage
and
Gallantry
(
with
different
success
)
came
not
up
;
but
sacrificed
his
time
in
the
Low-Countries
upon
courting
and
following
his
Amours
to
the
expence
of
Reputation
.
The
two
younger
Brothers
inherited
the
popularity
inherent
to
their
Ancestors
.
At
this
juncture
of
Affairs
,
the
remaining
Progeny
of
so
many
Heroes
,
that
heretofore
durst
try
for
the
Kingdom
by
Arms
,
now
finds
not
place
for
so
much
as
a
wish
,
pretending
to
nothing
more
at
this
time
than
a
thing
very
easie
to
compass
,
that
is
,
not
to
stir
.
A
Branch
of
the
House
of
the
Guises
,
Elboeuf
and
Harcourt
depressed
in
their
Estates
,
had
no
designs
.
This
latter
a
stout
and
daring
Souldier
,
afterwards
tossed
in
variety
of
Fortunes
:
about
whom
I
shall
have
occasion
hereafter
to
speak
not
a
little
.
Those
of
Nemours
made
French
from
a
Savoy
stock
,
of
a
numerous
male
Line
were
but
two
left
;
the
Elder
of
which
had
a
great
spirit
in
a
small
body
:
but
his
thred
of
life
being
soon
cut
off
,
left
his
Brother
Successor
,
who
held
nothing
of
that
famous
House
but
their
blameless
manners
.
Such
were
our
Princes
,
not
any
either
willing
or
able
to
work
an
Alteration
.
All
of
them
subscribed
to
the
present
Government
,
beating
their
heads
about
many
things
to
no
effect
.
This
is
the
Quality
of
the
French
,
especially
Courtier
,
to
make
much
stir
that
presently
vanishes
in
the
air
.
To
bind
one
another
in
deceitful
bonds
,
afterwards
to
flye
off
,
and
betray
one
another
.
A
Crafts
Master
will
easily
break
through
such
Cobwels
.
4.
Now
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
they
do
not
dislike
the
present
State
.
This
is
a
great
Body
compounded
of
divers
Humors
.
At
a
certain
sum
of
money
(
which
is
undecent
)
they
purchase
this
Degree
,
For
themselves
and
their
Heirs
.
Most
of
them
live
above
their
Estates
,
and
having
wasted
their
means
,
either
by
their
Wives
,
or
their
Childrens
,
or
their
own
prodigality
long
after
a
Change
.
Their
Office
,
if
the
matter
be
lightly
scann'd
,
is
to
preserve
every
mans
propriety
,
to
compose
differences
,
to
mitigate
the
increase
of
Taxes
,
and
retrench
ways
of
Oppression
that
have
been
invented
more
grievous
than
Taxes
;
to
encourage
Trade
:
above
all
,
to
advance
the
Kings
Honour
;
to
teach
the
people
that
by
their
own
good
example
;
never
to
clash
with
nor
dispute
the
Kings
Commands
:
but
humbly
petition
him
;
and
hold
the
Princes
Will
for
the
Supreme
Law
.
This
ought
to
be
the
Temper
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
which
hath
been
heretofore
the
Rule
of
Right
,
the
Bound
of
Equity
,
and
the
Pillar
of
Law
:
to
which
,
as
to
an
Oracle
,
all
Nations
came
from
every
part
to
be
resolved
:
but
,
as
all
things
grow
worse
by
length
of
time
,
so
is
that
fallen
from
its
ancient
Glory
.
I
speak
of
the
most
,
not
of
all
.
For
that
Court
even
to
this
day
,
can
produce
brave
men
,
who
maintaining
their
State
with
integrity
,
do
bear
up
that
tottering
Fabrick
:
and
who
being
carried
away
with
the
stream
of
the
Seditious
,
have
groaned
over
their
own
Ordinances
.
That
purple
Assembly
hath
and
will
yet
add
great
weight
to
the
Kings
not
only
Decrees
,
but
Actions
also
.
Therefore
after
the
decease
of
Lewis
,
it
was
strictly
observed
which
way
the
Scale
would
turn
.
By
the
consent
of
Orleans
,
Conde
,
and
the
Parliament
the
whole
Government
was
committed
to
the
Queen
under
the
name
of
Regent
.
Then
was
it
not
objected
against
Mazarine
his
being
an
Alien
.
Nay
soon
after
he
is
counted
worthy
to
be
chosen
,
and
that
with
the
Applause
of
the
Senate
for
the
man
to
whom
the
Hopes
and
Helm
of
the
Kingdom
should
be
intrusted
,
that
the
Competition
among
the
Princes
might
by
that
expedient
be
removed
.
This
the
Soul
of
Lewis
now
in
Heaven
intimated
:
the
Queen
had
fulfilled
her
Husbands
meaning
.
5.
Mazarine
casting
with
himself
what
is
hurtful
and
what
profitable
,
past
this
Sentence
upon
the
Clergy
:
These
are
his
words
counselling
the
Queen
Regent
.
The
Sacred
Order
for
these
many
years
hath
had
but
a
thin
harvest
of
excellent
Persons
,
however
it
come
to
pass
.
Men
follow
after
nice
Questions
,
live
idly
,
do
not
embrace
serious
Studies
.
All
is
done
with
Pomp
,
nay
if
any
Sermons
be
to
be
made
,
and
the
very
venerable
Sacrifice
offered
.
Of
their
Office
they
lay
claim
to
nothing
,
but
their
Rents
:
the
Duty
of
Preaching
,
which
is
the
principal
Dignity
of
a
Bishop
,
they
quit
to
any
one
,
though
never
so
insufficient
.
They
think
themselves
Bishop
enough
,
if
they
can
but
ride
in
fine
Coaches
,
with
their
Arms
set
on
,
outvy
one
another
in
rich
Liveries
and
Lacquais
;
and
punish
with
rigour
those
that
transgress
in
the
least
matters
.
Perpetual
Haunters
of
Ladies
Couches
,
not
without
undervaluing
the
Pastoral
Staff
.
This
is
for
the
most
part
,
for
there
are
some
that
lead
holy
and
unreproveable
lives
;
He
that
shall
take
offence
,
will
owne
himself
not
to
be
one
of
these
,
but
â
those
other
.
So
much
power
hath
Religion
over
the
minds
of
men
,
that
as
often
as
amongst
men
in
holy
Orders
any
eminent
Vertue
hath
got
up
,
and
overcome
the
common
attainments
and
the
vices
of
mankind
,
it
is
adored
like
a
Deity
.
At
that
time
that
Company
was
of
no
weight
nor
moment
in
France
,
said
Mazarine
I
am
trouble
,
and
in
a
manner
unwilling
to
write
this
;
but
plain
dealing
and
faithfulness
doth
at
present
offend
those
that
it
meets
with
,
afterwards
it
is
admired
and
commended
.
There
was
Francis
Paul
Gondy
,
by
Extraction
a
Florentine
,
but
born
in
France
,
Abbot
of
Rhetz
,
afterwards
Coadjutor
to
the
Bishop
of
Paris
,
Archbishop
of
Corinth
;
one
that
,
if
occasion
had
offered
,
would
have
aspired
high
,
as
Cardinal
Mazarine
confessed
he
was
perswaded
.
Over
and
above
an
honourable
Family
,
he
had
Eloquence
and
Learning
,
with
promptness
of
Spirit
.
Very
free
of
other
mens
money
;
not
careful
to
pay
his
debts
,
though
his
Creditors
were
in
the
greatest
necessities
,
but
rather
forward
to
bestow
courtesies
.
He
regarded
more
to
engage
many
,
than
to
seek
that
any
should
make
him
requital
;
of
a
lofty
mind
:
had
many
designs
in
his
head
:
catching
at
opportunities
,
waited
for
some
alteration
only
to
advance
his
Honour
.
6.
The
Provinces
being
wasted
,
torn
,
and
harassed
with
Taxes
,
Impositions
,
and
Free-Quarters
,
cryed
out
for
nothing
else
but
Peace
;
yet
in
a
readiness
to
couch
under
greater
burdens
.
So
great
is
their
Obedience
and
Loyalty
to
their
Soveraign
.
Their
Governors
were
men
engaged
,
that
would
hear
the
yoke
quietly
.
There
were
then
no
Mountmorencies
nor
Les
Diguieres
,
which
heretofore
at
their
least
motion
,
would
make
the
Court
shake
.
That
Rohan
who
for
fourteen
years
together
trod
upon
the
Bowels
of
the
State
,
to
maintain
by
Arms
the
new
Profession
,
was
long
since
gone
out
of
the
world
,
and
had
left
none
behind
him
that
could
answer
the
reputation
of
such
a
mighty
Name
.
The
Innovators
(
for
that
name
I
shall
use
)
wearied
with
Wars
,
their
Head
being
taken
off
at
the
winning
of
Rochel
,
the
Seat
of
the
Rebellion
,
panted
after
nothing
but
to
be
at
quiet
;
which
is
wonderful
at
that
change
.
And
because
that
Religion
could
abet
so
much
mischief
,
it
were
not
amiss
to
lay
open
the
Rise
and
Principles
of
it
,
lest
Posterity
should
be
ignorant
thereof
.
John
Calvin
,
at
first
called
Chauvin
of
Noyon
,
was
the
Author
of
the
Innovation
,
that
having
quitted
France
,
retired
to
Geneva
whitber
such
persons
flock
and
are
in
high
credit
.
Charles
was
King
,
and
Katherine
Queen-Mother
,
who
yet
made
no
scruple
to
prosecute
the
Innovators
with
fire
and
sword
,
as
Criminals
and
deserving
most
exquisite
torments
.
Such
tortuâes
hath
foolish
man
invented
against
himself
upon
easiness
of
perswasion
.
At
S.
Bartholomews-day
it
was
resolved
at
one
stroke
to
cut
off
the
springing
Hydras
head
,
by
an
action
unworthy
of
the
French
name
,
and
such
as
Seyn
with
all
its
waters
can
never
wash
out
.
The
Religion
at
present
check'd
,
burst
out
again
,
not
only
in
France
,
but
over
the
Suisse
,
German
,
and
English
.
Some
of
the
Princes
took
part
:
whence
were
battels
and
slaughters
in
several
parts
.
Calvin
set
up
Rites
contrary
to
the
Divine
Institution
:
and
as
a
principal
Doctrine
instilled
into
his
Followers
,
that
the
sanctifying
Wafer
,
the
sacred
Bread
is
not
turned
into
Christ
by
the
muttering
of
the
Priest
,
which
I
tremble
to
mention
:
the
supreme
object
of
their
Worship
is
not
kneaded
by
the
Bakers
hands
,
nor
changeable
,
nor
subject
to
corruption
;
they
vilifie
the
Sacrifice
of
the
Mass
,
and
Prayers
for
the
Dead
.
That
there
is
a
Heaven
and
Hell
:
they
are
perswaded
but
not
at
all
that
there
is
a
Purgatory
.
That
the
Pope
cannot
make
Saints
,
and
as
to
them
,
that
Heaven
is
never
the
fuller
.
They
give
the
Virgin
but
little
honour
:
and
only
such
as
is
far
less
than
her
Sons
.
Prayer
,
they
say
,
is
not
to
be
made
to
her
.
Reliques
and
dead
Bones
of
Saints
they
make
a
jest
of
.
Indulgences
for
buying
of
sins
at
a
certain
sum
of
money
to
be
paid
:
they
slight
and
confidently
affirm
men
might
imploy
their
money
better
.
The
Pope
they
despise
,
as
a
meer
Phantosm
and
empty
appearance
:
do
not
dread
his
Bulls
the
Vatican
Thunder-bolts
:
affirm
it
to
be
a
Sword
whose
edge
consists
in
bare
imagination
.
To
empty
the
sink
of
sin
into
the
cars
of
the
Priest
,
they
take
for
a
principal
argument
of
a
weak
understanding
.
The
load
of
Confession
,
they
call
a
Pack
of
Humane
Constitutions
.
To
displease
ones
appetite
with
fish
and
dry
meats
in
Lent
,
Phrensie
;
as
also
empty
ones
self
with
mortifying
Fasts
at
that
time
,
because
no
leaf
in
the
Old
or
New
Testament
enjoyns
it
.
And
when
the
year
renews
,
and
the
floating
humors
begin
again
to
work
,
then
to
be
tyrannized
over
two
whole
months
,
and
the
youth
of
the
year
to
be
clouded
with
sadness
,
and
when
Nature
designs
this
that
our
bodies
being
purged
from
unwholesom
humors
,
should
be
replenished
with
new
juyces
,
that
to
have
them
corrupted
with
meer
putrefactions
,
and
sâlt
meats
,
and
that
by
the
doting
of
them
,
who
touch
no
such
things
themselves
,
but
enjoyn
solemn
Fasts
,
religiously
abstaining
.
This
they
say
of
our
Lent
.
In
other
things
always
pretend
the
Bible
,
quote
Scriptures
;
in
Disputes
tire
our
strongest
,
dissatisfie
those
of
middle
parts
,
catch
not
a
few
.
Their
Teachers
they
call
Ministers
,
not
distinguished
in
habit
from
the
Laity
.
And
because
they
have
like
passions
as
other
men
,
they
allow
them
to
marry
wives
of
their
own
,
counting
that
better
than
for
them
to
corrupt
other
mens
;
which
they
malignantly
charge
upon
the
unmarried
and
chast
Order
.
Their
Temples
are
naked
and
censed
with
Prayers
.
They
have
their
Communions
with
a
crust
of
Bread
,
and
sip
of
Wine
on
certain
days
in
memory
of
the
Lords
Supper
.
That
God
being
a
pure
Spirit
,
is
to
be
worshipped
with
a
pure
spirit
:
not
with
Beads
,
which
they
call
in
derision
the
Serpents
eggs
.
They
dislike
Monasteries
where
,
they
say
,
innumerable
happy
Wits
are
unhappily
stifled
and
buried
alive
,
which
might
have
been
chosen
Vessels
of
the
Lord
,
had
they
with
judgment
taken
to
a
course
agreeable
to
their
nature
:
thus
they
speak
.
Geneva
the
Head
of
the
Religion
,
a
City
of
the
Allobroges
,
was
under
the
Government
of
their
own
Bishops
,
but
hath
now
flung
off
their
yoke
,
and
continues
as
yet
a
free
State
.
Vnder
the
Walls
the
Rhosne
runs
free
,
and
with
its
own
waters
through
the
Lacus
Lemanus
.
A
Lake
of
a
vast
compass
,
like
a
Sea
roars
and
raises
billows
.
The
City
is
situate
on
high
,
and
strengthned
with
Works
and
Banks
.
The
Walls
take
in
two
Hills
,
artificially
bending
or
winding
inwards
,
of
a
pleasant
prospect
,
and
delightful
to
the
Beholders
.
In
that
place
men
and
women
are
alike
obstinate
,
and
all
do
construe
that
they
have
so
great
assurance
of
God
,
that
they
do
not
turn
to
truth
even
in
adversity
,
as
if
so
be
they
should
be
forced
to
receive
the
Catholicks
,
they
would
stand
more
in
fear
of
life
than
death
.
I
have
somewhat
the
more
largely
discoursed
about
that
Sect
,
because
an
opportunity
hath
offered
,
and
no
others
did
more
largely
contribute
heretofore
to
the
Rebellion
:
by
the
Example
of
Tacitus
that
digresses
somewhat
freely
in
the
Religion
of
the
Jews
:
but
especially
of
Polybius
,
who
being
a
chief
Master
in
these
cases
slackens
the
reins
of
History
with
far
greater
digressions
.
There
is
no
more
certain
Argument
of
ignorance
and
childishness
,
than
to
refuse
knowledge
,
and
assume
an
ability
of
Judgment
after
such
eminent
men
.
Therefore
that
Party
which
had
so
often
been
prevalent
to
the
ruine
of
France
,
after
the
death
of
Lewis
XIII
.
either
subdued
,
or
quiet
of
themselves
,
gave
no
disturbance
,
although
they
had
reason
to
be
proud
of
Thurenne
and
Gassion
,
being
brave
men
both
of
whom
had
a
worthy
Name
,
but
with
different
success
.
The
former
would
wisely
pitch
upon
the
advantage
of
ground
;
often
gain
a
Victory
without
blood
or
mourning
.
Curb
the
Enemy
,
by
delay
seldom
venturing
a
Battel
,
with
good
advice
for
Peace
or
War
by
conduct
and
providence
,
insatiable
of
glory
;
and
ingrossing
to
himself
all
the
successes
of
the
Battel
,
would
secretly
charge
upon
his
Fellow-Officers
all
the
errours
or
misfortunes
,
would
protract
Wars
out
of
Art
,
or
design
of
continuing
long
in
Commission
.
Having
a
natural
pride
of
his
Nobility
;
comparable
to
ancient
Commanders
,
far
the
chiefest
of
his
own
age
.
Gassion
out-âââned
the
Line
of
his
Ancestors
,
though
not
mean
,
with
his
own
valour
,
hasty
to
execute
his
hopes
:
never
making
any
long
debate
upon
matters
;
nothing
could
restrain
his
fiery
courage
;
with
unwearied
charges
day
and
night
would
tire
out
the
Enemy
;
was
able
to
discharge
bdth
duties
of
Souldier
and
Captain
.
Joyful
at
the
very
dangers
,
as
others
are
at
the
rewards
of
dangers
.
Both
affected
to
the
King
;
neither
under
colour
of
Religion
affected
alteration
of
State
.

Our
Armies
,
survivors
of
so
many
dangers
,
swollen
with
a
long
train
of
Victories
,
thought
nothing
difficult
.
Lewis
Bourbon
Enguien
blaz'd
like
a
Star
dreadful
to
the
Nations
,
thwarting
the
French
Interest
.
Rocroy
was
the
dawn
of
his
rising
Glory
,
and
a
presage
of
his
future
Greatness
.
All
was
prosperous
and
quiet
.
France
at
concord
and
united
,
reached
over
Almania
from
the
Mazeliâ
brink
to
beyond
the
Rhine
.
By
the
Victory
at
Norlingue
,
the
parts
confining
on
the
Danube
were
afterwards
invaded
,
and
terrour
struck
on
all
sides
In
Spain
,
by
seizing
Tortosa
and
Flix
,
we
were
got
to
the
River
Iber.
Our
Fleets
ranged
over
the
Mediterranean
and
Ocean
.
9.
All
Italy
from
the
Pope
,
who
was
then
Vrban
VIII
.
to
the
least
Princes
bore
reverence
.
The
Dukes
of
Savoy
,
Mantoua
and
Modena
rather
Instruments
of
French
slavery
,
than
free
Princes
,
In
Germany
the
Kings
of
Swethland
and
Denmaâ
boasted
of
our
friendship
;
the
Pole-sued
for
it
.
The
Electors
thought
themselves
hardly
used
unless
they
might
be
admitted
to
some
room
in
our
favour
.
Portugal
torn
from
Spain
,
depended
on
the
looks
of
France
,
whose
yoke
Catalaunia
had
willingly
put
on
,
being
weary
of
the
Spanish
Dominion
.
The
Low-Countries
stuck
close
to
us
.
The
King
of
England
that
now
discovered
the
seeds
of
Innovation
and
Civil
War
to
spring
up
,
did
sollicitously
oblige
us
to
him
.
Europe
with
astonishment
stood
gazing
at
such
a
state
of
our
Affairs
;
nothing
was
wanting
to
compleat
our
happiness
besides
moderation
,
and
the
Art
of
enjoying
it
.
Our
Princes
were
in
concord
,
and
stood
in
awe
of
the
Queens
look
,
who
supported
by
the
counsels
of
Mazarine
,
did
so
manage
the
Reins
of
the
Publick
Fate
,
as
that
the
Kingdom
flourished
,
and
all
Enterprises
at
home
and
in
the
field
succeeded
prosperously
,
and
even
to
envy
.
She
married
young
,
and
having
been
bred
strictly
,
bore
with
an
equal
temper
her
Husbands
knidness
or
slighting
.
A
Woman
for
holiness
of
life
after
the
ancient
manner
.
A
Queen
couragious
,
and
not
to
be
conquered
by
adversity
;
of
great
judgment
;
cunning
to
dissemble
,
or
to
conceal
;
in
alterations
would
not
discover
any
change
.
This
was
resolved
of
stoutly
to
maintain
her
Children
and
Kingdom
;
in
the
mean
time
,
during
the
Kings
Minority
,
not
to
exasperate
the
Princes
,
but
hold
an
even
seal
between
them
.
Being
but
newly
abroad
from
her
close
mourning
,
she
cast
out
such
expressions
:
Faithful
Armies
shall
defend
the
French
Empire
;
him
(
point-at
the
King
)
his
own
Majesty
.
The
Palace
was
free
from
those
vices
which
are
wont
to
grow
rank
in
Courts
.
The
Kings
Childhood
shot
up
under
the
nurture
and
admonitions
of
Mazarine
;
to
whom
was
also
taken
on
as
a
second
Villeroy
,
one
well
versed
in
our
State-affairs
,
skilled
in
the
Court
,
a
quick
foreseer
of
Interests
likely
to
get
uppermost
.
Our
Nobles
,
all
of
them
wholly
set
upon
what
they
could
rake
together
,
or
fish
out
before
the
King
should
come
to
be
of
Age
,
to
restrain
their
outragious
greediness
.
The
French
have
this
custom
,
to
think
themselves
dull
and
negligent
of
their
Estates
,
unless
they
get
some
Boon
from
a
new
Prince
,
from
whom
they
think
they
are
to
draw
as
from
a
Torrent
that
will
not
always
run
;
especially
by
reason
of
the
Ministers
foreignness
,
which
they
were
confidently
perswaded
they
might
easily
baffle
.
Even
many
private
persons
were
craving
.
Mazarine
granted
every
one
that
for
which
he
was
importuned
,
and
spared
for
no
cost
,
so
he
might
but
render
them
engaged
and
faithful
to
the
Queen
:
won
whomsoever
he
could
at
that
time
,
by
gratifications
.
In
the
mean
while
the
poor
Exchequer
was
pillag'd
by
Court-Leeches
.
Mazarine
foresaw
much
,
that
time
would
be
when
the
heaping
up
of
money
would
occasion
mischief
.
Nothing
at
that
time
did
so
much
perplex
his
thoughts
.
The
safety
and
Honour
of
the
Kingdom
he
desired
;
could
not
attain
this
without
Arms
,
nor
Arms
without
pay
;
nor
pay
without
Taxes
,
nor
Taxes
without
vexation
,
nor
vexation
long
without
complaints
,
in
a
State
condemning
every
thing
,
and
to
be
feared
for
its
excess
:
that
is
not
to
be
satisfied
but
by
ill
practices
,
which
draw
dangerous
consequences
.
Prosperity
had
already
debauched
their
minds
:
Wealth
was
in
Honour
,
poverty
accounted
a
reproach
.
After
Riches
Luxury
,
and
Covetousness
its
attendants
,
with
pride
had
broke
in
:
they
tore
,
they
wasted
,
they
built
Houses
and
Villa's
like
Cities
.
What
should
I
go
on
to
mention
that
which
will
be
scarce
credible
to
posterity
?
They
so
far
abused
their
ill
gotten
riches
,
that
very
many
Receivers
,
(
Partisans
they
call
them
)
the
Wens
of
Mankind
,
have
levelled
Mountains
,
and
raised
Plains
to
Mountains
,
have
built
them
houses
,
with
which
for
habitation
may
compare
neither
Kings
nor
Emperors
.
To
furnish
their
Table
,
they
search
all
that
may
be
got
by
Sea
or
Land
.
They
purchase
luxury
by
gains
,
Rapines
by
luxury
:
and
it
is
their
highest
value
for
an
Estate
,
to
lavish
an
Estate
.
Hereupon
when
their
means
fail
,
they
set
upon
Change
of
Government
,
to
get
more
to
spend
.
It
was
ordinarily
pleaded
,
That
by
the
increase
of
the
Kingdom
private
mens
Estates
were
come
to
fuller
growth
.
That
money
is
now
at
another
rate
than
heretofore
in
the
Kingdom
,
when
small
,
where
the
houses
were
but
little
;
That
nothing
is
over-much
,
where
is
power
;
all
things
are
to
answer
the
Possessors
fortune
.
A
confession
of
Vices
,
and
the
likeness
of
Delinquents
easily
was
consented
to
under
plausible
names
.
10.
Thus
was
it
in
the
City
fruitful
for
engendring
mischiefs
,
and
that
is
of
so
great
moment
,
that
whithersoever
it
lean
,
thither
do
all
things
in
a
manner
bend
;
because
in
it
the
strength
and
hopes
of
the
whole
Kingdom
are
placed
;
and
because
the
Government
divides
from
them
all
abroad
.
It
dispenseth
to
all
the
Provinces
,
Officers
intrusted
with
Arms
and
Laws
:
it
receives
into
its
bosom
all
sorts
of
strangers
:
and
cherisheth
mankind
upon
a
commonty
,
not
like
a
Dame
,
but
Mother
,
whom
it
receives
,
it
calls
Denizens
;
and
obligeth
to
it self
in
a
bond
of
natural
affection
those
that
are
in
the
remote
parts
of
the
world
.
Let
not
ancient
Rome
compare
her self
,
nor
all
the
Illustrious
Cities
in
the
East
.
It
will
issue
out
four
Cities
without
any
loss
of
the
people
exhausted
,
it
will
set
out
100000
Souldiers
:
and
yet
the
streets
cram'd
.
It
will
nobly
entertain
four
Kings
coming
on
a
sudden
;
and
the
Citizens
have
plenty
,
being
cut
into
parts
by
its
Seine
that
carrieth
on
its
back
,
supplies
sufficient
to
sustain
whole
Kingdomes
.
Presently
upon
the
death
of
Lewis
,
it
was
quiet
and
joyful
at
its
own
condition
;
but
it
was
conjectured
by
no
obscure
signs
,
that
from
it
only
a
storm
would
rise
,
that
should
discharge
upon
the
whole
Nation
.
Mazarine
was
unable
to
satisfie
so
many
lusts
,
the
Treasury
being
almost
already
drawn
dry
.
Every
one
thinks
himself
considerable
for
business
:
and
thereafter
expects
wages
,
gaping
after
reward
:
hence
issue
out
Spies
and
Trapans
,
the
main
concern
of
whose
life
is
to
know
and
to
be
unknown
,
that
Gang
of
Informers
swarms
in
teachy
times
:
a
Tribe
insatiable
,
subtle
,
false
,
that
will
at
all
times
condemn
,
and
at
the
same
times
will
be
cherished
.

Chauvigny
,
his
Son
,
and
Servienne
went
for
the
Counsel
of
State
:
But
at
that
very
time
Fame
gave
out
that
Mazarine
was
all
in
all
,
the
rest
but
shadows
,
that
went
along
with
him
,
and
moved
at
his
motions
;
for
the
Queen
concluded
with
him
all
matters
of
importance
,
as
with
her
only
Cabinet-Counsellor
:
the
rest
taken
to
sit
at
the
board
for
Pomps
sake
,
that
they
might
debate
things
resolved
before-hand
,
and
might
please
themselves
with
an
empty
appearance
of
Government
.
And
to
say
the
truth
,
Mazarine
did
then
openly
present
Richlieu
risen
from
the
dead
.
Which
two
,
because
so
lucky
an
occasion
is
offered
,
I
have
not
thought
fit
to
pass
over
,
without
declaring
the
Nature
and
Qualities
of
both
,
as
far
as
my
weak
parts
can
reach
.
11.
In
the
much
that
I
have
read
,
and
have
observed
,
it
is
evident
from
the
first
foundations
of
the
Kingdom
to
these
present
times
,
that
the
excellent
vertue
of
a
few
have
done
all
the
great
Actions
.
Among
them
two
persons
have
been
most
eminent
for
their
transcendent
merits
,
Armand
Richlieu
,
and
this
our
Julius
Mazarine
,
differing
in
qualities
,
differing
in
Country
:
both
of
the
same
rank
in
the
Church
,
both
of
Illustrious
Extraction
.
Their
Age
,
Eloquence
were
alike
,
Courage
equal
;
also
their
Glory
:
but
other
advantages
each
had
to
himself
in
particular
.
Armand
was
accounted
great
for
his
magnificent
Works
:
Julius
surpassed
him
in
splendour
of
life
.
The
formers
severity
made
him
awful
:
The
latters
gentleness
and
mercy
made
him
renowned
.
Richlieu
by
lavishing
and
by
punishing
;
Mazarine
by
pardoning
and
wary
dispensing
obtained
glory
.
The
ones
easie
and
forward
bounty
was
commended
:
The
others
slackness
in
giving
was
condemned
.
Those
that
offended
Richlieu
were
certain
to
be
destroyed
:
Mazarines
Enemies
took
Sanctuary
in
Mazarine
himself
.
That
other
carried
all
with
a
high
hand
:
This
with
an
imperious
stilness
;
that
was
well
versed
in
the
French
Kingdom
:
This
acquainted
with
the
States
of
the
World
.
That
dyed
in
the
heat
of
Wars
,
uncertain
of
events
.
This
after
peace
setled
secure
of
success
.
That
to
the
joy
of
his
King
;
this
,
while
his
King
wept
over
him
,
expired
in
his
Arms.
However
the
Relation
contained
in
this
Book
is
necessary
,
and
as
I
hope
not
ungrateful
,
that
What
persons
the
Reader
is
to
see
engaged
with
variety
of
Fortune
,
he
may
have
their
conditions
also
,
and
temper
,
and
as
it
were
picture
before
his
eyes
.
For
whereas
all
History
consists
of
Men
and
Actions
,
I
have
judged
it
fit
,
more
to
insist
upon
them
than
these
;
because
it
hath
more
influence
upon
humane
life
in
reference
to
the
example
,
for
one
to
know
what
were
the
several
dispositions
of
men
,
than
for
heads
to
be
filled
with
insignificant
Stories
.
The
principal
matter
is
,
to
be
read
in
men
.
Fortune
having
taken
much
away
from
me
,
hath
left
me
the
conversation
of
the
French
Natures
,
which
I
do
here
in
a
manner
limbe
.
This
in
truth
is
more
profitable
than
to
be
informed
of
bare
particular
occurrents
.
I
compose
and
write
what
another
Age
will
read
.
Our
own
disregarding
it self
,
as
having
left
off
to
do
commendable
Actions
,
thinks
it
impertinent
to
be
praised
or
dispraised
,
and
defies
Images
,
because
it
dreads
them
.
As
to
Mazarine
,
I
speak
not
of
his
Fortune
,
but
of
himself
;
who
was
known
to
me
not
for
any
obligation
,
but
many
wrongs
,
that
I
received
from
him
;
since
my
whole
family
is
beholding
to
him
singly
for
its
calamities
.
Nevertheless
such
is
the
power
of
truth
,
that
I
cannot
slothfully
suppress
the
praises
of
so
great
a
Personage
,
but
am
over-ruled
to
give
them
their
due
Encomium
,
leaving
to
others
to
dilate
in
flattering
Discourses
.
THE

The
CONTENTS

Of
the
Actions
at
Home
,
and
in
the
Field
,
during
the
happy
five
years
under
the
most
prudent
Conduct
as
ever
was
,
from
the
Year
1643.
wherein
Lewis
dyed
,
to
the
Year
1648.
when
the
Civil
War
was
unfortunately
commenced
,
IN
such
a
State
of
Affairs
,
although
flourishing
,
there
is
no
question
to
be
made
,
but
that
the
House
of
Austria
,
would
have
lifted
up
their
head
,
many
amongst
us
having
already
plotted
a
Rebellion
,
and
got
together
by
divers
practices
,
fuel
for
the
Combustion
,
had
not
Mazarine
(
his
Envyers
carp
at
it
,
the
ends
being
secret
)
obviated
the
imminent
dangers
,
by
entertaining
the
quieter
sort
of
men
with
hope
,
gifts
,
and
the
sweetness
of
ease
;
and
by
scattering
the
active
and
military
men
through
Germany
,
Flanders
,
Italy
,
and
Spain
upon
hard
and
desperate
Services
towaste
and
repel
the
Enemy
,
lest
he
should
be
hindered
by
intestine
dissensions
to
carry
on
his
Plot
at
home
and
abroad
.
[
What
would
have
been
the
consequent
if
such
a
multitude
of
idle
persons
having
got
head
under
a
minor
King
,
and
casting
of
the
Princes
awe
,
should
have
been
sollicited
to
raise
Civil
Disturbances
:
Before
the
pledges
of
the
Kingdom
were
grown
to
full
age
,
and
the
dearness
of
their
Soveraign
which
is
made
habitual
by
time
,
had
cemented
their
spirits
?
The
Estate
not
yet
firmly
setled
,
would
have
been
broke
to
pieces
with
discord
,
which
his
gentle
moderation
did
cherish
for
five
years
,
and
brought
to
such
perfection
,
that
being
grown
to
full
strength
,
it
could
bear
any
shock
,
though
the
malignancy
of
the
French
Fate
should
charge
it
never
so
furiously
.
]
Therefore
waving
Occurrents
rather
ordinary
than
worthy
the
relating
,
I
shall
write
only
those
passages
,
whose
knowledge
hath
influence
upon
life
,
counting
it
more
eligible
to
edifie
the
Understanding
,
than
to
feed
the
Fancy
with
an
empty
Narrative
of
Proceedings
.
Here
is
not
to
be
expected
any
Journal
to
give
a
particular
account
of
Actions
with
their
Circumstances
:
but
you
will
find
secret
Advices
refined
from
vulgar
Errours
,
short
and
mystical
:
so
that
I
confess
he
had
need
have
a
piercing
Judgment
that
can
reach
and
fathom
my
meaning
.
He
that
is
not
provided
of
that
,
let
him
not
offer
to
meddle
with
my
Book
,
but
go
about
some
other
business
.
The
first
Essay
of
the
new
King
was
the
Expedition
of
Rocroy
.
Roc-Roy
,
(
or
the
Royal
Rock
)
is
a
Garrison
at
the
Entrance
of
the
Forest
of
Ardenne
,
fortified
with
strong
Works
.
Hardly
any
foot
of
arable
Land
is
near
it
.
All
the
parts
round
about
it
are
over-run
with
Heath
and
Bryars
.
The
place
is
of
such
importance
,
that
the
Garrison
which
holds
it
,
may
freely
march
up
as
far
as
Paris
,
and
the
vast
Plain
of
Champaigne
lies
open
to
be
scoured
over
by
the
Scouts
from
Rocroy
.
Nothing
was
accounted
more
advisable
among
the
Officers
of
the
Army
in
the
Low-Country
,
after
the
death
of
Lewis
,
than
to
reduce
that
Frontier
:
Therefore
May
12.
1643.
Rocroy
is
closely
beleaguered
,
the
Out-works
are
presently
stormed
,
the
Defendents
which
were
about
500
,
not
being
able
to
make
good
such
a
Line
against
so
furious
an
Attaque
.
The
Spaniards
lodge
in
the
neighbouring
Quarters
,
more
like
Conquerors
than
Combatants
,
Don
Francisco
Melo
was
Captain
General
.
The
Count
Issemburgh
,
Duke
Albuquerque
,
and
Count
Fuentanon
Lieutenants
.
The
Army
consisted
of
20000
men
.
Intelligence
being
brought
of
this
,
Enguien
who
was
quartered
in
Picardy
,
united
his
Infantry
which
lay
upon
the
Ause
with
his
Cavalry
lying
upon
the
Oyse
,
and
immediately
sent
away
Gassion
with
500
Horse
to
scout
,
and
do
such
farther
Execution
as
the
matter
should
require
.
Gassion
giving
the
Enemy
perpetual
Alarms
,
whilst
he
and
a
Party
are
engaged
,
conveys
a
100
choice
Musquetiers
into
the
besieged
Castle
,
no
small
relief
to
the
Garrison
,
that
was
now
sorely
distressed
.
Enguien
with
hard
marches
having
drawn
together
the
whole
of
his
strength
on
the
17.
of
May
,
quarters
at
Bossue
,
a
Town
four
miles
distant
from
Roc-Roy
.
Hither
comes
also
Gassion
.
A
Counsel
of
War
is
called
about
the
relieving
of
Rocroy
.
There
were
some
of
opinion
,
that
they
needed
not
give
Battle
,
but
only
send
in
succour
:
the
prevailing
advice
was
to
put
it
to
a
pitched
Field
.
There
were
narrow
Lanes
and
By-paths
to
be
got
over
before
the
Forces
could
come
to
draw
up
on
even
ground
.
That
part
is
gallantly
performed
,
and
with
notable
success
.
The
French
could
hardly
be
kept
in
from
running
upon
the
Enemy
,
even
at
the
very
break
of
day
.
That
was
the
fiery
courage
of
the
French
:
yet
there
was
this
farther
consideration
:
that
a
French-man
coming
over
from
the
Enemy
,
had
informed
that
Beke
was
upon
his
march
,
drawing
near
with
a
Recruit
to
re-inforce
the
Spaniards
.
(
Now
Beke
was
of
no
mean
esteem
among
both
Wallons
and
French
.
Such
reward
being
given
the
Informer
,
as
his
condition
required
,
all
things
are
prepared
for
the
hazard
of
a
final
decision
.
And
now
the
whole
order
of
the
future
Engagement
is
brought
under
the
eye
.
All
things
are
marshalled
with
exquisite
care
and
providence
on
both
sides
:
and
such
preparations
made
that
night
,
as
though
a
Battel
had
been
bid
against
the
next
day
.
Enguien
judging
it
better
to
stay
till
broad
day-light
,
encouraged
them
,
and
afterwards
sent
them
to
refresh
themselves
.
when
this
was
done
,
he
went
about
the
Companies
standing
to
their
Arms
,
with
the
Field-Officers
and
his
Attendants
,
inspiring
into
the
Troops
of
Souldiers
a
fortitude
worthy
of
their
ancient
Glory
and
past
Monuments
.
He
could
neither
endure
to
stand
still
,
nor
would
relieve
his
wearied
body
with
sleep
.
The
Army
had
at
no
time
seen
the
General
so
sprightly
:
and
did
readily
draw
from
his
undaunted
looks
an
assured
conjecture
of
Victory
.
At
length
when
the
clear
light
discovered
ours
and
the
Enemies
Battalia
,
Enguien
rejecting
the
advice
of
his
cautious
friends
,
clapt
on
a
sleight
Breast-plate
,
and
no
Helmet
,
that
his
face
might
be
open
,
and
manifest
to
the
Souldiers
during
the
whole
Engagement
.
The
Battel
was
thus
set
in
array
,
Gasston
to
command
the
right
Wing
,
Hospital
the
left
,
with
Seneterre
.
The
Wings
were
inforced
with
the
reserve
of
Espenan
.
Enguien
turned
his
quick
eyes
to
the
right
and
to
the
left
,
presuming
upon
Victory
,
while
the
Event
was
yet
in
suspense
.
Never
was
Fortune
braved
with
a
more
forward
joy
:
yet
there
were
called
to
prayers
for
obtaining
Victory
,
the
Priests
a
generation
,
believed
by
alas
!
too
many
a
useless
burden
of
the
earth
.
The
Conflict
was
sharp
,
and
the
Dispute
maintained
with
a
stiff
obstinacy
.
Our
left
Wing
came
to
a
sad
misfortune
.
Seneterre
discharging
manfully
the
part
both
of
Commander
and
Souldier
,
was
shot
and
cut
.
He
having
had
his
Horse
killed
under
him
,
was
carried
off
,
and
soon
after
came
in
again
.
The
Enemies
too
were
possessed
of
our
Ordnance
,
which
the
excelling
valour
or
Hospital
recovered
:
but
when
he
was
wounded
in
the
Arm
,
were
lost
again
,
and
turned
upon
us
:
the
fortune
of
the
day
was
changed
by
Syrot
who
charged
gallantly
,
and
came
to
succour
the
left
Wing
that
was
in
apparent
danger
,
and
almost
trampled
down
.
The
Wallons
,
Germans
,
and
Italians
being
slain
,
the
hardest
part
of
the
work
was
behind
to
deal
with
a
Regiment
of
Castillians
stout
and
invincible
.
The
Infantry
of
the
right
Wing
had
often
charged
,
but
always
without
any
success
.
At
length
Gassion
being
not
ignorant
of
what
importance
that
Regiment
was
,
bringing
up
with
him
the
Horse
of
the
right
Wing
,
broke
in
upon
the
close
Ranks
,
and
routed
them
.
Presently
the
Enemies
Army
was
totally
defeated
.
The
cruel
rage
of
our
Switzars
discharged
their
fury
upon
the
Spaniards
,
who
counted
it
brave
to
die
before
the
face
of
their
Commanders
,
rather
than
to
take
Quarter
.
Fuentes
the
Master
of
the
Ordnance
in
the
Enemies
Camp
avoided
the
disgrace
of
flight
,
by
dying
in
the
Bed
of
Honour
.
Their
Switzars
affected
the
reputation
of
having
their
Colonel
killed
:
who
,
during
the
Engagement
,
was
carried
about
in
a
Sedan
:
he
had
made
oath
never
to
fight
against
the
French
,
neither
on
Horse-back
,
nor
on
foot
.
The
Count
of
Issemberg
accounting
that
there
was
less
danger
in
running
away
,
than
in
being
made
Prisoner
,
escaped
away
wounded
,
and
a
little
after
dyed
of
his
wound
.
Melo
(
leaving
behind
him
his
Commanders
staff
,
which
came
afterwards
into
the
victorious
hands
of
Enguien
,
having
rid
full
eight
miles
by
the
swiftness
of
his
Steed
,
hid
himself
within
the
Town
of
Mariemburgh
,
attended
by
a
few
that
bore
him
company
in
his
flight
,
having
abandoned
his
whole
Army
;
and
it
was
a
confessed
truth
,
that
the
Souldier
that
day
fought
like
a
most
valiant
General
:
and
the
General
run
away
like
a
most
cowardly
Souldier
;
only
the
renown
of
Enguien
gave
him
the
glory
of
having
been
vanquished
by
so
great
a
Person
.
It
was
now
no
longer
a
fight
,
but
a
mixt
Carnage
.
A
slaughter
here
of
one
,
there
of
whole
Companies
.
Limbs
of
men
lye
scattered
about
upon
the
ground
:
Souldiers
maimed
and
disabled
,
yet
would
not
leave
grasping
their
Arms
;
till
through
the
expence
of
much
blood
,
they
sunk
down
and
dyed
.
Some
fled
the
shortest
way
;
others
got
into
the
opposite
Wood
,
and
paths
unknown
to
the
Pursuers
.
Naked
men
encounter
with
such
as
are
armed
,
and
the
wounded
with
such
as
are
whole
.
As
is
the
fashion
when
fear
possesseth
the
spirit
.
Enguien
would
no
longer
pursue
them
upon
the
flight
,
but
commanded
their
weary
hands
,
their
thirsty
bodies
,
their
blunted
Arms
to
be
quiet
:
and
having
gone
through
a
business
of
singular
danger
,
entred
Roc-Roy
in
Triumph
.
Now
he
owed
this
Victory
more
to
his
Valour
than
Fortune
.
For
he
both
drew
up
his
Army
most
skilfully
,
fought
couragiously
,
and
with
excellent
judgment
despised
the
loss
of
his
great
Guns
,
knowing
that
the
main
concern
was
the
keeping
the
Army
in
order
,
and
holding
the
field
.
Then
what
is
rare
in
that
heat
of
Passion
,
and
Age.
He
pursued
them
upon
the
flight
,
with
more
prudence
than
eagerness
.
All
that
were
present
confessed
that
Hospital
,
Seneterre
,
Gassion
,
Syrot
,
Espenan
deserved
to
have
Enguien
for
their
General
,
and
Enguien
to
have
such
Officers
.
This
hath
been
too
large
in
the
Relation
,
but
so
many
following
Engagements
shall
be
all
comprehended
under
this
one
.
Roc-Roy
being
relieved
,
Thionvilles
Attaque
is
resolved
upon
.
[
It
is
a
City
of
the
Dukedom
of
Luxemburgh
,
cut
by
the
Mazelyn
in
two
parts
;
the
one
looks
towards
Metz
,
the
other
Triers
:
for
it
hath
two
Gates
,
situated
in
a
Valley
,
fortified
with
Trenches
and
Bulwarks
incomparably
well
.
]
At
that
time
judged
to
have
been
of
great
importance
,
not
so
much
to
expiate
the
slaughter
of
Fequier
,
by
putting
it
to
the
Sword
(
which
had
been
a
quarrel
suiting
our
bravery
)
but
that
the
French
Territory
might
be
enlarged
by
such
an
Acquist
.
Therefore
having
wasted
the
Country
,
and
reduced
some
few
Villages
,
on
the
thirtieth
day
after
the
Battel
at
Rocroy
,
the
French
Army
came
within
view
of
Thionville
,
with
the
same
push
of
fortune
carried
.
Guere
and
Gassion
went
before
to
take
up
the
Armies
Quarters
.
Conde
with
prodigious
swiftness
by
the
fourth
days
march
came
to
Metz
,
and
a
Recruit
of
new-raised
men
being
taken
on
there
,
his
Army
was
compleated
in
numbers
.
By
the
Counsels
of
the
Commanders
,
by
the
works
,
activity
,
and
patience
of
the
Souldiers
,
by
the
valour
of
Enguien
,
within
four
months
time
after
the
Siege
was
laid
,
there
came
into
our
hands
that
City
famous
to
the
memory
of
posterity
,
for
the
antiquity
of
its
Original
,
and
frequent
varieties
of
Fortune
,
which
having
escaped
many
casualties
,
now
as
it
were
restored
,
the
new
Peace
cherishing
all
,
doth
rest
quietly
under
the
protection
of
the
French
clemency
.
Because
there
had
been
assaults
with
variety
of
success
,
and
many
men
lost
before
it
,
when
News
came
to
Paris
,
that
Thionville
was
taken
,
there
was
infinite
rejoycing
;
the
Churches
were
full
of
those
that
give
God
thanks
for
the
Victory
:
the
Entry
too
of
Enguien
being
more
celebrated
than
is
the
custom
by
the
people
,
running
in
multitudes
out
of
Town
to
meet
him
,
exceeded
the
usual
measure
,
of
Honour
.
The
League
that
we
had
struck
with
Gustavââ
Adolphus
,
the
great
King
of
Sweden
,
lasted
as
long
as
he
lived
.
When
he
was
dead
,
it
was
renewed
with
,
his
Successors
,
amongst
whom
Duke
Bernard
of
Weymar
,
a
Branch
of
the
House
of
.
Saxony
,
or
rather
the
very
stock
,
was
eminent
for
his
great
merits
.
Our
Arms
were
joyned
with
the
Gothick
under
that
renowned
Duke
:
who
dying
of
the
Plague
,
not
being
poysoned
,
as
was
malignantly
given
out
,
that
he
might
not
oppose
Richlieu's
designs
,
the
Commandâ
in
chief
over
the
Army
was
committed
to
Weybrantz
:
who
was
already
acquainted
with
the
German
Souldiers
and
Discipline
a
name
well
known
to
the
Hercynian
and
Rhyne
.
His
Engagements
proved
very
fortunate
,
by
a
victory
over
Lamboy
,
and
divers
Enterprises
still
successful
:
At
length
as
is
the
usual
Fate
of
Martial
men
,
having
his
Arm
broken
with
a
Canon
bullet
before
the
Walls
at
the
Siege
of
Rothuel
,
he
lived
to
come
into
the
City
.
Those
that
accompanied
him
weeping
,
gave
an
appearance
to
the
Army
looking
on
,
as
if
they
had
been
following
not
Weybrantz
,
but
his
Corps
.
His
mind
continued
unshaken
,
and
after
he
had
given
all
his
orders
,
as
though
he
had
discharged
the
duty
of
his
life
and
command
,
he
fell
speechless
.
The
Germans
contend
in
lamenting
and
mourning
with
the
French
,
nor
could
it
be
decided
who
were
the
Victors
,
or
who
were
conquered
;
there
was
an
open
prize
of
grief
:
whilst
âhe
Souldiers
dwelt
sometimes
on
the
want
,
and
sometimes
on
the
respect
of
the
deceased
.
That
he
should
be
taken
out
of
the
world
so
lusty
,
and
in
the
flower
of
his
age
and
fortune
,
was
a
just
cause
of
indignation
.
John
Baptista
Bude
a
Breton
,
took
the
name
of
Weybrantz
into
his
Family
.
Having
followed
the
Court
in
his
youth
,
as
Captain
of
the
Guards
;
afterwards
out
of
a
desire
of
glory
,
which
âhe
excessively
thirsted
after
,
led
part
of
the
Duke
of
Robans
Army
,
which
left
the
Grisons
into
Germany
,
where
he
served
Weymar
to
his
satisfaction
.
He
was
the
first
French-man
that
understood
the
way
of
Commanding
after
the
German
fashion
;
one
comparable
to
the
chiefest
Captains
of
his
Age.
And
all
our
pretensions
upon
the
Rhyne
and
Donaâ
had
been
quite
extinguished
,
unless
Thurenne
had
succeeded
him
.
Weybrantz
Funeral
was
ordered
with
no
mean
Pomp
;
his
body
was
interred
in
Nostre
Dame
Church
;
which
is
an
unusual
honour
:
and
was
granted
,
not
so
much
to
the
mans
merit
,
as
extorted
by
the
importunity
of
his
Wife
Renée
Beke
.
An
ambitious
Woman
,
rather
excessive
in
vain-glory
than
grief
,
would
draw
the
Obsequies
payed
to
her
Husband
to
an
ostentation
of
her
own
greatness
.
Margaret
de
Lorraine
cometh
to
the
Court
out
of
the
Low-Countries
.
She
had
married
Gaston
,
that
was
seduced
by
ill
Counsels
,
against
the
Kings
will
,
(
which
is
irregular
in
France
)
at
the
special
instance
of
her
Brother
Charles
petty
King
of
Lorraine
;
who
breaking
Covenant
so
often
by
an
unsearchable
method
of
living
,
hath
ruined
himself
and
his
Estate
more
than
once
.
King
Lewis
hating
the
Contract
of
Marriage
,
in
vain
endeavoured
to
disannul
it
.
Gastons
temper
in
other
matters
variable
(
so
frail
a
humor
having
now
committed
this
third
errour
)
was
resolute
in
the
love
of
Margaret
only
.
By
her
example
and
perswasions
he
restrained
his
licentious
affections
to
keep
within
the
bounds
of
conjugal
Chastity
;
and
having
been
remiss
in
the
Worship
of
God
,
wheel'd
about
to
superstition
,
that
is
,
a
slavish
fear
of
God
:
a
grievous
errour
which
hath
two
inseparable
concomitants
:
the
being
implacably
mischievous
,
and
a
perpetual
easiness
in
believing
untruths
.
The
Lorraine
Lady
was
at
first
dear
and
honoured
by
all
;
being
for
person
and
beauty
,
not
degenerate
;
for
chastity
above
the
French
temper
;
a
commendable
President
:
afterwards
continuing
in
greatness
altered
to
pride
,
and
was
judged
to
swell
with
the
glory
of
her
Ancestors
,
and
an
excess
of
devotion
.
No
cunning
Woman

but
one

ruled
her
Husband

The
Queen
of
England

Henriette

left

Island

of
growing

,
retires
into
France
,
where
she
is
entertained
with
splendour
;
at
first
highly
courted
,
disregarded
at
last
.
The
afflicted
Lady
refused
the
Honours
offered
,
alledging
that
Pomp
did
not
suit
with
her
present
Fortune
.
Carignac

Wife
of
Thomas
Prince

who
had
long
resided
in
Spain
(
whose
party
her
Husband
had
taken
,
and
at
last
came
back
to
ours
)
not
enduring
the
constraint
of
so
long
silence
among
those
that
were
ignorant
of
her
Language
,
returned
into
her
Country
.

Princess
of

King
her
Husband
,
by
reason
of
absence
,
could
not
sit
by
her
on
her
sick-bed
;
so
that
her
departing
eyes
lacked
the
sight
of
her
beloved
Husband
in
the
last
glimpse
.
She
had
not
exceeded
the
42
year
of
her
Age
,
having
comprised
so
many
vertues
within
so
narrow
a
period
of
time
.
French
Courtesie
,
Spanish
Gravity
,
each
in
equal
weight
.
A
Prudence
worthy
of
the
stronger
Sex
,
an
assistance
of
her
Husbands
care
;
oftentimes
mounting
on
Horse-back
to
restrain
Mutiniers
.
Not
with
Beads
,
or
an
empty
ostentation
of
piety
in
kneeling
before
Altars
,
but
with
a
stout
heart
.
Did
not
equal
,
but
exceed
her
Husbands
cares
.
She
loved
the
happy
,
defended
the
miserable
;
and
if
she
exceeded
in
any
thing
,
it
was
in
Bounty
.
(
Now
what
is
more
honourable
than
an
excess
of
bounty
?
)
Philip
,
not
moderating
his
grief
,
doth
extend
his
love
to
the
Deceased
,
by
dwelling
on
her
memory
,
and
the
comfort
he
takes
in
his
Therese
left
behind
her
;
who
,
as
the
Fates
have
disposed
,
is
come
to
be
our
Queen
.
I
have
joyned
these
matters
together
,
although
they
fell
not
all
out
at
one
time
,
lest
if
they
had
been
separated
,
they
might
not
have
been
equally
portable
in
the
memory
.
That
was
not
unsuitable
to
a
Womans
levity
;
for
a
Woman
occasioned
what
at
this
time
fell
out
.
In
the
Kings
Minority
,
when
the
French
think
they
may
do
any
thing
,
Collins
presumed
to
challenge
the
Duke
of
Guise
to
a
Duel
;
which
,
after
his
Ancestors
Gallantry
,
he
did
not
refuse
.
In
an
eminent
place
of
the
City
he
disarmed
his
Challenger
,
and
gave
him
his
life
(
Clemency
is
hereditary
to
the
Guises
,
and
Courage
)
Collins
ended
his
life
with
melancholy
and
discontent
,
leaving
but
one
Brother
behind
,
who
fell
at
the
Town
of
Charenton
;
by
which
means
the
right
Line
of
the
great
Gaspaâ
Collins
,
who
filled
the
World
with
the
Fame
of
his
Actions
,
was
extinguished
.
Collins
was
condemned
for
having
presumed
to
engage
with
one
that
was
not
his
equal
,
at
the
instigation
of
a
Woman
,
who
not
contenting
her self
with
so
little
bloodshed
;
afterwards
stained
France
to
her
power
with
Civil
slaughter
.
Conde
resented
the
matter
ill
,
and
lest
Divisions
should
thereby
break
out
,
presently
hush'd
it
up
,
and
reproved
the
Occasioners
of
it
.
Paul
Gondy
designed
Archbishop
of
Paris
,
is
consecrated
of
Corinth
(
it
is
the
Bishop
of
Rome's
practice
,
that
so
the
whole
World
may
be
thought
depending
on
the
Vatican
Oracle
,
to
exercise
his
Authority
even
upon
the
dissenting
parts
.
)
That
day
was
the
first
occasion
of
death
and
all
destructions
.
Casimire
,
Prince
of
Poland
,
Son
and
Brother
of
ăâă
King
,
not
regarding
his
Scepter
,
but
laying
asidâ
his
High
Quality
,
nor
hearkening
to
the
disswasions
of
Majesty
,
turned
Loiolite
.
Embracing
ăâă
Rome
an
Order
wherein
,
by
a
peculiar
habit
,
and
mystical
rule
of
life
,
is
made
a
Profession
of
Wisdom
.
Praised
by
the
Pope
,
who
always
promote
such
Changes
,
although
they
indicate
discontent
of
the
spirit
:
the
way
,
as
they
word
it
,
to
a
betteâ
Kingdom
,
being
by
that
means
discovered
.
Short
after
his
fit
of
Jesuitism
went
off
;
his
fancy
roving
after
Purple
,
after
the
Throne
,
and
after
Marriage
,
even
with
his
Brothers
Wife
,
and
an
indispensable
Match
.
(
If
he
ever
had
been
to
meddle
with
such
matters
,
he
could
never
have
done
if
with
less
indecency
,
since
the
approved
Society
hath
first
brought
Civility
and
Literature
into
Monkery
(
the
Jesuits
scorn
that
name
.
)
But
whether
they
have
so
adulterated
it
with
a
mixture
of
Secular
Affairs
,
that
they
can
be
styled
neither
wise
Politicians
,
nor
pure
Monks
,
there
will
be
a
more
convenient
place
to
dispute
it
elsewhere
.
That
other
Casimire
was
also
remarkable
,
the
King
of
Poland's
Son
too
,
whose
name
was
Miecrilaus
.
In
the
Year
1040.
a
Benedictine
Monk
profest
.
To
him
already
engaged
by
oath
were
Ambassadors
sent
,
demanding
their
Prince
.
The
Pope
dispenses
with
his
Vows
,
allowing
him
alsoâlicence
to
marry
,
upon
condition
that
the
Polanders
for
the
time
to
come
,
should
slave
their
Crowns
with
a
Monachal
Tonsure
;
and
should
also
yearly
contribute
Pence
,
towards
S.
Peters
Wax-Tapers
,
as
a
Monument
of
the
Indulgence
.
Thus
was
Casimire
attended
into
his
Kingdom
,
received
with
consent
and
joy
:
married
a
Wife
,
begot
Children
of
her
;
propagating
the
Kingdom
to
his
Posterity
.
So
did
a
Fugitive
,
Monk
,
Deacon
possess
Country
,
Crown
,
nay
Wife
,
with
Favour
,
Praise
,
and
Pardon

gave

it

qualified
for
it

of
Enguien

or
at
the
instigation
of
those
under
whose
Tuition
he
was
all
his
life
time
,
resolved
to
put
himself
too
upon
the
Fortune
of
War
.
Gravelin
the
strongest
Garrison
of
that
Sea-coast
among
the
Picards
,
heretofore
the
Worlds
end
,
seemed
an
expedition
worthy
of
so
great
a
Prince
.
Orange
at
that
time
besieged
the
Sasse
of
Gant
,
sending
in
Tromp
as
an
Auxiliary
to
block
up
the
Port
of
Gravelin
with
the
Holland
Fleet.
Meilleray
and
Gassion
were
joyned
with
Orleans
,
no
mean
Assistants
.
They
marched
several
ways
to
distract
and
amuse
the
Enemy
in
three
Parties
:
yet
the
Spaniard
had
some
jealousies
of
the
design
to
be
upon
Gravelin
;
for
the
Sluces
were
drawn
up
,
and
the
Country
lying
about
,
laid
under
water
.
By
the
same
Art
was
the
Plain
drained
by
ours
,
as
it
had
been
drowned
by
them
.
At
the
first
days
,
the
labour
seemed
tolerable
:
upon
continuance
the
ground
being
dry
and
parched
with
the
Suns
vehemency
,
not
a
few
dyed
for
drought
:
the
low
Springs
scarcely
supplying
the
running
Streams
;
and
the
Beasts
seeking
for
the
Rivers
,
which
they
had
lately
swam
over
.

appearing
in
the
Head
of
his
Army
,
from
break
of
day
till
late
at
night
,
without
meat

how
sweet
it

The
Souldiers

.
The
Officers
vapour
and
brag
of
their
Acts

as
is
usual

not

slain
,
innumerable
wounded
.
The
General
visits

than

rejoycing
at
the
dangers
,
extols
the
gallant
performances
,
bestows
money
,
relieves
the
afflicted
,
comforts
the
sick
.
There
was
no
weak
Souldier
,
whose
life
and
recovery
was
not
so
assisted
by
Gastons
care
,
as
if
that
mind
most
distracted
with
so
great
a
load
of
cares
,
had
attended
upon
this
business
only
.
Such
as
were
not
in
due
order
,
as
far
as
the
President
was
not
of
ill
consequence
,
he
pardoned
,
using
frequently
admonitions
,
rarely
chastisement
.
Piccolomini
attempts
the
relief

not

without
success
,
but
with
loss

Orange
that
lay
against

his
work
,
in
taking
the
Sasse
of
Gant
:
promises
Orleans
his
assistance
,
in
case
,
that
he
needâd
it
.
Tromp
played
his
part
stoutly
;
at
length
on
ăâă
.
Anne's
day
,
the
Articles
of
Surrender
being
signââd
on
both
sides
,
Gravelin
came
into
the
hands
of
ârleans
;
as
he
entred
the
City
,
this
Divine
saying
was
marked
to
have
fallen
from
him
.
Let
us
try
this
way
,
if
we
can
,
to
gain
the
affections
of
all
,
and
to
pursue
a
lasting
Victory
.
Let
this
be
the
new
French
mode
of
Vanquishing
brought
up
by
me
,
to
fortifie
ourselves
by
mercy
and
bounty
.
In
the
mean
time
,
being
even
revoked
by
the
King
,
upon
occasion
of
congratulating
his
success
,
when
he
might
have
pursued
the
Victory
,
he
chose
rather
to
enjoy
it
:
nor
yet
did
there
follow
any
small
breathing
time
.
By
the
League
made
with
the
Swedes
and
Weymor
:
those
petty
Cities
upon
the
Rhyne
about
Brisacque
,
were
left
under
our
Jurisdiction
,
which
was
an
eye-sore
to
the
Enemy
.
Thereupon
Friburg
of
Briscow
is
first
besieged
by
them
.
The
flower
and
strength
of
the
Austrian
Party
,
the
Bavarian
Forces
âȘ
and
their
Leader
Merck
an
old
Commander
and
stout
Souldier
furiously
batter
the
Town
.
Enguien
that
was
then
come
to
Saverne
,
certified
by
Thurenne
of
the
Enemies
Attempt
,
hastens
to
Benfield
and
thence
to
Brisack
,
where
having
conferred
with
,
Thurenne
,
he
made
no
resolution
till
he
had
first
viewed
the
state
of
the
matter
upon
the
place
.
But
by
this
time
the
Bavarians
had
reduced
Friburg
to
necessity
of
Surrender
,
having
come
upon
them
before
they
were
expected
.
Afterwards
having
drawn
up
their
Army
upon
a
rugged
and
steep
Mountain
,
and
barricado'd
within
fell'd
Trees
,
and
entrenched
round
,
they
consulted
in
security
what
course
they
should
take
.
Enguien
in
that
boystrous
Current
of
Age
,
boiling
with
an
ardent
desire
to
fight
,
was
of
opinion
to
fall
down-right
upon
the
Enemy
;
some
judged
that
an
oblique
Compass
should
be
fetched
.
He
insisted
that
,
Artifices
should
be
let
alone
,
and
they
must
conquer
with
valour
that
conquers
all
things
.
Never
was
,
scarce
ever
will
be
a
more
eager
ardour
of
fighting
.
Enguien
himself
,
leaping
off
his
Horse
,
pushed
amidst
the
thickest
of
the
Enemies
.
Thurenne
fell
upon
the
Rear
.
It
was
judged
more
advantagious
to
be
united
:
so
the
two
Camps
were
made
one
.
They
fought
eight
hours
,
which
is
rare
,
with
doubtful
success
,
by
reason
of
the
continual
rain
.
The
night
came
in
good
time
to
the
Souldiers
that
were
wearied
with
their
Coats
soaked
through
with
wet
.
By
the
break
of
the
next
day
,
they
are
alarm'd
again
:
the
Bavarian
not
knowing
to
give
ground
,
but
still
renewing
the
fight
.
At
length
it
was
observed
,
that
the
Enemy
endeavoured
not
a
flight
,
but
Retreat
.
No
men
ever
sold
their
lives
at
so
dear
a
rate
.
That
day
opened
the
French
a
Road
into
Germany
,
which
Enguien
so
ranged
over
with
Victories
,
that
by
the
attendance
of
Fortune
,
and
guidance
of
Valour
,
he
reckoned
so
many
successes
as
days
.
After
Merck
was
conquered
,
no
body
was
ashamed
to
be
conquered
:
only
Flesburg
gave
a
check
to
his
rapid
course
.
The
first
storm
discharged
it self
like
a
clap
of
Thunder
,
with
a
violent
fury
upon
that
,
which
being
taken
,
the
French
Troops
pouring
along
upon
both
Banks
of
the
Rhyne
,
brought
under
their
power
Spira
,
the
place
of
the
Imperial
Diet
,
Mentz
the
Electors
Seat
,
and
the
pleasant
Worms
.
Hitherto
ours
dealt
but
with
single
Cities
:
afterwards
fell
upon
all
that
lay
in
their
way
in
general
,
without
so
much
as
regarding
the
situation
of
Places
.
This
War
proved
unproportionable
.
to
the
expectation
of
the
German
Nation
,
whose
valour
heretofore
victorious
over
the
Romans
,
at
this
juncture
appeared
to
have
been
superannuated
.
At
the
same
time
Enguien
,
scarcely
having
a
beard
,
and
but
newly
writing
man
,
seemed
both
to
have
dispatched
Germany
,
and
to
enter
upon
Triumphs
in
all
places
,
rowing
along
the
conquered
Rhyne
.
Like
fire
,
which
having
preyed
upon
the
obvious
Wood
,
is
checked
by
the
intervention
of
a
River
.
The
Inroad
a
while
stopped
at
Mariandale
(
the
neighbouring
Inhabitants
call
it
Mergenstheim
.
)
There
Thurenne
,
[
Enguien
was
a
great
way
off
]
being
straightned
for
provision
,
had
dispersed
his
Forces
for
Forrage
:
whilst
himself
secure
of
the
Enemies
,
consulted
what
was
to
be
done
.
The
Austrians
and
Bavarians
under
the
Conduct
of
Merck
,
and
Hans
Werth
,
suddenly
assault
him
.
He
gathering
together
what
Forces
the
pressing
necessity
would
permit
,
refused
not
to
stand
the
utmost
tryal
.
Thurenne
acting
the
part
both
of
Commander
and
Souldier
,
stoutly
seconded
by
Rosa
,
withstood
the
Enemy
,
charging
with
desperate
rage
,
and
at
length
when
he
could
not
be
safe
,
even
in
Merindol
,
leaving
behind
him
his
Baggage
and
Artillary
,
retired
to
the
parts
about
the
Main
with
his
Horse
.
Trac
did
gallant
service
,
in
heartning
the
Souldiers
.
The
rest
of
ours
escaped
towards
Flesburg
,
and
having
passed
the
Rhyne
at
Spire
,
got
safe
to
Mentz
,
to
joyn
with
Thurenne
.
Enguien
being
certified
of
this
unfortunate
Engagement
,
obliged
Conismark
,
the
Swede
and
Guez
,
Colonel
of
the
Hessians
(
although
they
were
averse
,
and
pressed
after
returning
home
into
their
Country
)
to
tarry
but
so
long
with
him
,
till
he
had
got
a
pass
upon
the
Nicer
.
Glen
was
come
up
to
re-inforce
the
Enemies
Army
,
not
a
little
puffed
up
with
their
success
at
Merindol
.
Enguien
having
left
all
his
Baggage
at
Wisloque
,
designed
to
surprise
Hailbrun
between
the
Danube
and
Rhyne
.
The
Enemies
which
had
a
suspicion
of
some
such
intention
,
march
with
unwearied
haste
;
and
pitch
upon
a
Hill
not
far
off
from
the
Walls
of
Hailbrun
,
lying
so
,
that
the
Nicer
running
before
them
,
ours
could
neither
enter
Hailbrun
,
nor
assail
the
Enemy
.
Therefore
it
is
resolved
to
march
on
towards
Frankendale
and
the
Danube
.
Conismark
left
our
Army
,
and
followed
his
own
designs
.
The
Hessians
endeavouring
to
do
the
like
,
but
being
restrained
and
countermanded
by
the
Landgravinne
,
stayed
with
us
.
After
many
Proposals
debated
on
all
sides
,
it
is
resolved
to
beat
the
Enemy
up
as
far
as
the
Danube
:
and
return
to
Hailbrun
,
but
both
Armies
each
day
marching
in
a
parallel
line
,
there
were
not
wanting
light
Skirmishes
.
A
long
time
they
shot
their
Guns
off
in
view
of
each
other
.
A
Moor
lying
between
hindred
their
engaging
.
Ours
bent
their
course
towards
Norling
,
the
Enemies
towards
Donavert
.
Enguien
had
an
intention
to
turn
for
Hailbrun
,
when
of
a
sudden
he
is
informed
that
the
Enemy
came
on
eager
upon
fighting
,
and
was
between
the
River
of
Weran
and
our
Army
.
Enguien
might
easily
have
avoided
it
,
had
he
not
been
resolved
for
the
Encounter
.
His
cheerfulness
filled
the
hearts
of
all
with
hope
.
Never
was
he
more
undaunted
,
never
more
secure
:
both
Armies
fell
to
prayers
after
a
laudable
custom
,
to
encourage
the
Souldiers
,
who
having
performed
this
duty
,
appear
to
fall
on
more
couragiously
:
although
God
called
upon
in
due
order
,
doth
not
always
come
in
to
assistance
.
Grammont
led
the
light
Wing
,
Thurenne
the
left
:
the
Foot
in
the
main
Body
was
commanded
by
Marsin
,
Chasteaânââf
,
and
Bellenauw
:
the
Hessians
with
their
Guez
and
Heems
,
in
the
Rear
.
Chabot
brought
on
the
Reserve
.
Moussay
delivered
Enguiens
orders
on
every
part
.
But
what
shall
I
speak
of
the
presages
in
the
minds
of
mortal
men
.
At
Paris
before
the
âight
,
the
Victory
was
published
,
nor
were
there
hidden
the
imminent
signs
of
the
destined
success
.
The
like
hath
been
heretofore
remarked
among
the
Romans
.
A
Village
with
a
Castle
lying
between
both
Armies
,
was
furiously
battered
with
our
Canon
.
Thither
came
down
the
Enemies
from
the
top
of
the
Hill
,
and
ours
at
the
same
time
.
The
Dispute
seemed
to
have
been
about
the
surprising
a
paultry
Dorp
.
Enguien
was
every
where
conspicuous
in
his
most
noted
Coat
of
Armour
:
and
rid
among
his
Troops
commending
or
reproving
,
as
every
one
merited
,
and
stoutly
inforced
what
parts
were
weakned
by
the
Enemies
execution
.
When
our
Army
seemed
to
decline
,
Grammont
comes
in
,
who
having
restored
the
day
,
is
with
Chatre
taken
Prisoner
,
and
carried
to
Muncken
,
the
Metropolis
of
Bavaria
.
The
right
Wing
had
bin
utterly
lost
,
unless
new
courage
had
been
infused
into
the
Souldiers
by
the
valour
of
Thurenne
,
who
commanded
the
left
.
Thither
also
comes
up
Enguien
,
twice
wounded
,
and
having
had
two
Horses
killed
under
him
.
The
Enemy
having
shewed
what
stubbornness
they
could
,
were
compelled
to
retire
towards
Donavert
,
which
Town
having
plundered
,
they
past
the
Danube
;
never
thinking
themselves
safe
,
till
they
had
got
on
the
other
side
.
It
was
not
judged
prudential
to
pursue
:
Their
Guns
and
Baggage
were
taken
,
the
evidence
of
a
compleat
Victory
.
Merck
the
General
was
slain
.
Glen
taken
,
and
the
Duke
of
Holsten
:
4000
destroyed
,
2000
taken
.
Enguien
having
transferred
the
whole
glory
upon
Thurenne
,
possessed
Norling
.
[
How
should
âonismark
be
vexed
at
our
prosperity
,
to
have
been
absent
,
because
he
had
not
appeased
with
Austrain
blood
the
Swedes
,
that
is
,
his
Country-mens
Ghosts
,
and
had
not
washed
the
field
a
few
years
before
stained
with
so
much
gore
!
for
our
Army
stood
upon
the
same
ground
,
as
the
Swedes
had
done
before
.
The
same
furrows
were
once
more
watered
.
Once
more
Norlingue
saw
Armies
drawn
up
in
Battalia
,
and
that
petty
City
in
it self
ignoble
,
was
ennobled
by
having
its
Plains
scoured
over
with
a
double
pitched
fight
:
but
the
news
of
the
success
was
carried
with
such
speed
,
that
the
King
knew
his
having
vanquished
,
before
his
having
been
engaged
:
and
the
news
of
the
Victory
out-run
the
message
of
the
danger
:
but
in
truth
,
as
hath
been
already
said
,
it
was
presage
,
not
the
swiftness
of
the
Post
.
]
After
Enguien
had
wearied
his
body
with
so
many
toils
,
he
fell
into
a
sickness
,
but
being
soon
recovered
of
that
,
he
returned
to
Paris
.
The
City
rung
of
nothing
but
Enguien
,
his
excellent
accomplishments
of
mind
,
that
ripeness
wherein
heâ
so
early
surpassed
great
Commanders
,
his
resolution
in
running
through
dangers
,
his
expedition
in
laying
,
and
executing
designs
,
his
faith
in
keeping
Articles
;
clemency
towards
Prisoners
;
temperance
even
in
lawful
pleasures
.
His
maligners
gave
out
,
that
all
these
good
qualities
were
spoiled
by
his
hearkning
to
paultry
Counsellors
,
his
following
debauched
Treats
,
his
deriding
vertuous
and
grave
men
with
bitter
jests
,
his
being
more
penurious
than
his
Father
.
Such
were
the
rash
speeches
of
some
men
.
[
It
was
believed
by
the
wiser
,
that
his
accumulated
successes
were
the
causes
of
all
the
Troubles
that
afterwards
he
fell
into
,
to
his
great
prejudice
:
the
Princes
mind
having
been
depraved
by
Flatterers
,
who
presuming
too
much
upon
himself
and
false
Counsel
,
thought
that
all
reward
was
too
little
to
answer
his
merits
,
and
that
he
must
be
denied
nothing
.
But
of
this
,
and
the
like
,
fully
and
truly
elsewhere
.
]
Having
left
the
work
of
Germany
done
,
he
turned
his
haughty
heart
to
the
Low-Countries
,
where
joyning
with
Orange
and
Orleans
,
he
performed
those
Exploits
,
which
being
particularly
related
,
would
require
to
be
treated
of
in
many
Volumes
;
but
these
are
the
Subject
of
a
compleat
History
,
not
of
so
concise
and
compendious
an
Abridgment
as
this
is
,
wherein
I
am
resolved
,
rather
to
omit
necessaries
,
than
to
comprise
superfluities
.
It
may
suffice
to
glance
upon
these
few
things
,
although
neither
in
proper
place
nor
time
,
that
Orleans
having
subdued
the
Sea-coast
of
Flanders
,
and
reduced
not
a
few
Cities
of
that
Quarter
,
under
the
French
obedience
,
returned
to
Paris
to
enjoy
the
Reputation
of
his
Acts
,
with
a
firm
resolution
of
never
meddling
any
more
with
such
imployments
,
which
he
held
in
good
earnest
,
having
eternally
hung
up
his
Arms
in
his
great
Hall
.
Thurenne
in
Germany
,
after
the
departure
of
Conâde
,
sole
Commander
of
the
French
Troops
,
took
Triers
,
forcing
the
Austrian
Garrison
to
surrender
.
From
hence
our
Richlieu
had
heretofore
taken
up
a
pretence
of
engaging
in
a
troublesom
and
dear
War
,
it
seems
for
the
Archbishop
Electors
having
been
ill
used
by
the
Spaniard
,
with
the
damnifying
of
his
whole
Country
:
but
what
havocks
ensued
upon
that
,
with
the
prejudicial
coming
in
of
succours
,
that
is
,
by
remedies
worse
than
the
disease
?
The
prudence
of
the
Electors
,
especially
of
Triers
and
Mentz
,
ought
to
aim
at
this
mark
,
of
composing
,
to
their
power
,
the
Feuds
between
the
French
and
the
House
of
Austria
,
which
will
last
eternally
,
as
being
assured
,
that
those
two
Poles
of
Europe
cannot
clash
,
but
they
must
be
crushed
,
not
being
able
to
sustain
their
double
weight
.
Not
to
flatter
them
who
are
in
Empire
,
nor
yet
to
exasperate
or
provoke
them
;
but
to
hold
on
a
way
safe
from
ambition
and
danger
,
cutting
between
stubborn
ruggedness
and
servile
flattery
,
abandoning
all
appearance
of
proud
liberty
:
with
the
good
leave
of
the
German
Nation
,
be
it
said
there
is
a
decay
in
their
strength
,
in
their
Wealth
,
and
almost
in
their
Courage
:
one
would
no
longer
call
them
the
Chickens
of
the
Eagle
.
They
have
been
,
nor
in
old
times
,
and
the
Roman
Age
only
,
but
in
Charles
the
Great
his
days
,
and
lower
in
the
times
of
the
Fredericks
,
Othos
,
and
Henrys
,
how
many
works
of
gallant
Courage
have
been
,
which
are
now
declined
.
But
the
order
of
the
story
doth
long
since
call
me
to
the
Affairs
of
Italy
,
where
all
things
werâ
prosperous
and
to
the
envy
of
the
world
.
This
is
that
season
wherein
France
Most
flourished
,
as
ăâă
were
in
the
prime
of
its
valour
.
Is
there
be
such
a
thing
as
youth
,
as
strength
,
then
began
it
to
ăâă
strong
in
truth
,
then
a
match
,
to
fight
with
all
the
World
.
Now
did
the
end
of
Vrbans
sitting
in
the
Papâ
Chair
draw
near
,
when
a
War
broke
out
in
Italy
Paul
III.
Farnese
advanced
the
profits
of
his
Family
,
as
much
as
ever
any
Pope
did
,
only
minding
this
one
thing
to
raise
his
Kindred
in
Estate
anâ
Dignity
above
the
quality
of
private
men
.
Then
upon
he
conferred
upon
them
,
and
to
their
use
ăâă
Dukedoms
of
Parma
,
and
Piacenza
,
and
Castâ
Castro
standing
not
far
off
from
the
City
,
hath
beeâ
always
regarded
with
a
liquorish
and
envious
ăâă
by
the
Kinsmen
and
Nephews
of
the
Pope
(
for
ăâă
must
be
ingenuously
confessed
,
that
there
is
not
hiâ
which
their
Nephewship
doth
more
court
,
than
ăâă
be
advanced
above
the
common
fortune
.
Froâ
that
height
of
State
to
relapse
into
ones
formâ
condition
,
is
intolerable
.
)
Perchance
Vrban
ăâă
the
flower
of
his
age
,
might
have
moderated
tââ
ardour
of
his
Nephews
,
who
easily
obtained
of
tâ
weak
old
man
to
have
War
proclaimed
against
tâ
Duke
of
Parma
,
for
Castro
mortgaged
to
Creditoâ
whom
the
Barberini
abetted
,
and
that
had
beeâ
forfeited
to
them
.
There
was
another
cause
undââ
board
,
and
that
somewhat
unhandsom
,
and
where
with
the
gravity
of
History
would
be
smutteâ
which
shall
therefore
be
supprest
.
In
the
Notâ
upon
these
Books
it
shall
be
explained
,
as
man
other
things
now
for
expedition
sake
,
left
in
obscurity
.
Therefore
Arms
are
provided
,
the
Treasures
of
the
Church
set
open
,
and
Souldiers
listed
.
What
was
their
meaning
?
Not
to
enjoy
their
possessions
,
but
commit
themselves
and
their
Estates
into
Fortune
,
draw
the
ill
will
of
all
Italy
upon
âhem
,
and
set
the
most
potent
Princes
in
Hostility
âgainst
them
:
(
for
the
Venetians
always
with
good
âause
,
opposing
the
Popes
Greatness
,
joyned
with
âhe
Dukes
of
Florence
and
Modena
,
to
maintain
couâagiously
the
Duke
of
Parmas
interest
.
)
Thus
âhe
Princes
of
the
Church
not
being
used
to
Arms
,
were
plunged
in
a
pernicious
War
.
Which
was
âlmost
continually
managed
with
prosperous
sucâess
:
But
when
the
continuance
of
the
War
was
âot
to
the
advantage
of
either
Party
,
matters
were
âccommodated
for
the
present
,
but
broke
out
again
âfterwards
under
Innocent
.
The
Divisions
of
Italy
being
closed
up
,
Vrban
âhe
VIII
.
dyed
full
of
years
,
Honours
,
and
Wealth
âaving
tasted
almost
the
years
of
Peter
.
Vrban
âeing
dead
,
there
was
great
dissension
among
the
Cardinals
in
the
Conclave
,
to
the
detriment
,
(
I
had
âlmost
said
scandal
)
of
Religion
.
The
Election
âvavering
and
irresolute
,
was
cast
upon
Pamphilio
,
âerhaps
not
the
better
choice
.
The
Barberini
had
what
influence
they
would
upon
Vrban
their
Uncle
;
ând
they
would
have
more
than
was
right
and
fit
.
The
wind
continued
fair
with
them
,
whilst
their
âtar
shined
,
after
he
was
set
,
it
was
turned
about
ânto
an
opposite
Quarter
.
For
Innocent
.
(
So
was
âamphilio
pleased
to
be
called
)
although
he
was
âuch
beholding
to
the
Barberini
for
their
activeness
and
interest
,
amongst
his
first
publick
Actions
,
endeavoured
to
ruine
them
;
and
as
good
as
effectâ
it
,
had
not
the
French
interposed
.
(
Where
thâ
was
Rome
?
Many
accused
the
Pope
of
severity
anâ
ingratitude
:
the
wiser
did
contemplate
the
uncertainties
of
this
world
under
Illustrious
Examples

they
have
ordinarily
come
to
base
ends
,
whâ
were
not
long
before

France
seemed
theââ
safest
Sanctuary
.
They
came
Suppliants
for
refuge
,
and
fell
at
the
knees
of
Mazarine
,
whom
theâ
had
so
often
slighted
,
when
having
a
value
only
for
themselves
,
they
looked
down
upon
the
rest

the
world
as
from

lofty
Throne

(
They
coulâ
put
up
no

of
wrong
;
but
let
themselves
be
depraved
only
with
the
soothing
of
thoââ
who
sought
rewards
of
their
flatteries
.
)
It
is
an
usual
thing
with
Popes
to
hate
their
Predâcessors
kinsmen
,
as
having
pillaged
all
.
(
Yet
it
is
observed
,
that
riches
so
got
,
through
the
just
Judgment
ăâă
God
,
have
not
long
lasted
.
)
None
of
them
take
wanâing
,
but
are
still
all
dissolute
:
Nor
contented
to
eniââ
what
they
can
get
.
They
mind
not
strictly
the
publiâ
Concern
;
for
why
should
they
a
matter
that
continuâ
not
long
,
and
afterwards
comes
to
none
of

.
Thââ
are
greedy

casualties

ăâă

things
uncertain

gape
after
the
Present

Caââ
at
money
upon

occasions
;
so
is
Justice
less
observeâ
and
offences
they
connive
at
;
for
favour

fââ
granting
Indulgences

The
Barberini
were
entertained
in
France
couâteously
.
Mazarine
that
had
found
them
prouâ
helped
them
in
distress
.
But
the
Election
of
Panphilio
did
so
displease
him
,
that
having
grievously
censured
Antonio
Barberini
for
it
out
of
discontent
,
he
fell
dangerously
sick
,
so
as
to
keep
his
Bed
.
Wherupon
many
conceived
greedy
hopes
,
especially
Chavigny
.
Some
would
obtrude
upon
the
Queen
Cardinal
Grimaldi
.
The
Queen
inclined
to
neither
,
but
waited
how
the
Cardinal
should
do
:
who
recovering
,
searched
into
the
designs
of
his
Rivals
,
and
kept
them
close
in
his
memory
,
especially
for
Chavigny
,
whom
for
that
time
he
always
secretly
undermined
:
which
when
Chavigny
perceived
,
it
was
the
occasion
of
putting
him
on
to
precipitate
his
Plots
not
fully
ripe
.
When
the
grave
Brow
of
Innocent
would
not
easily
endure
the
presumptuous
encroachments
of
the
young
Duke
of
Parma
,
Arms
are
again
taken
up
.
But
the
Forces
of
Parma
were
at
the
first
Encounter
totally
cut
off
.
Their
General
Geoffray
a
French-man
,
and
Doctor
of
Physick
,
who
had
insinuated
into
the
late
Prince
Edwards
favour
,
it
is
uncertain
by
what
practices
,
the
Incendiary
of
the
division
,
was
put
to
death
at
Piacenza
,
and
made
a
State-sacrifice
to
repair
the
disgrace
.
The
Pacificator
was
the
King
of
France
by
Bichi
the
Senese
,
with
Donghi
a
Genovese
the
Popes
Commissioner
for
arbitrating
the
difference
.
Which
was
Mazarines
glory
,
that
the
French
Arms
should
triumph
over
Flanders
,
Germany
,
Catalaunia
,
Turin
,
and
Piedmont
,
as
farther
,
that
the
interposition
of
a
King
but
six
years
old
,
under
the
Guardianship
of
a
foreign
Woman
,
should
repress
disquiets
,
always
working
at
home
,
and
prevail
to
establish
Peace
abroad
.
France
was
,
if
ever
,
prudently
governed
:
yet
those
Secrets
of
State
were
taxed
and
carped
at
by
the
whispers
and
censures
of
men
.
(
The
truth
it
,
we
are
loth
to
be
under
Superiors
,
and
let
one
act
never
so
well
and
faithfully
to
the
Publick
Interest
,
yet
this
and
that
is
condemned
;
and
there
is
ever
somewhat
which
doth
not
please
every
body
.
)
Thereupon
were
words
thrown
out
amongst
the
Vulgar
,
and
iâ
Meetings
.
But
there
is
no
more
certain
sign
of
Gallantry
,
than
to
despise
them
when
one
is
placed
iâ
Power
above
the
reach
of
Injury
,
and
in
Glory
above
the
Eclipse
of
Infamy
.
Calmness
of
spirit
becomes
men
in
Authority
,
and
a
patient
bearing
of
reproaches
,
is
a
great
preservative
of
a
Kingdoms
Peace
.
Mazarine
that
took
satisfaction
in
repentance
only
,
never
in
punishment
,
preferred
and
enriched
those
that
had
laid
the
greatest
load
of
infamy
upon
him
:
oftentimes
using
this
language
to
the
Queen
.
Madam
,
we
have
not

enough
to
busie
our selves
with
these
examinations
:

this
door
open

you
will
have
no

when

went

at

he
landed

was
obstinate
,
by
reason

stout
defence

strong
situation
;
all
which
the
valour
of
Conde
subdued
.
The
Government

Henry
Bourbon
,
Prince
of
Conde
,
not
yet
sixty
years
old
,
dyed
an
easie
death
.
Lamented
by
France
in
such
a
juncture
of
Affairs
,
as
one
who
by
his
Prudence
and
equal
Justice
,
did
stay
the
State
running
into
Confusions
.
[
He
was
born
at
S.
Egers
in
Xantoigne
,
after
his
Fathers
death
,
who
was
poysoned
,
by
ill
practices
.
Henry
IV.
having
no
Issue
,
had
trained
him
up
with
all
diligence
,
as
his
future
Heir
,
having
weaned
his
Spirit
in
his
tender
years
from
the
new
Religion
,
which
he
had
sucked
in
with
his
milk
âȘ
from
his
Father
and
Grandfather
,
in
hereditary
descent
:
He
was
so
nurtured
in
the
Catholick
Rites
,
that
afterwards
when
he
was
grown
up
,
he
affected
the
reputation
of
being
a
Capital
Enemy
to
the
Innovators
,
in
an
empty
ostentation
;
which
would
have
been
useful
,
as
he
conceived
,
if
occasion
had
served
.
But
this
is
always
beneath
a
great
Prince
,
who
ought
not
to
love
,
nor
yet
hate
any
such
thing
too
much
,
and
whom
a
lofty
and
gallant
Spirit
becomes
,
slighting
matters
of
that
nature
.
His
Marriage
with
Charlotte
Mommorancy
had
almost
been
his
ruine
.
For
to
avoid
the
being
rivalled
by
King
Henry
,
he
fled
into
the
Low-Countries
for
a
Sanctuary
of
his
Wives
chastity
.
From
hence
through
Germany
he
travels
to
Millan
,
with
a
small
Retinue
,
to
Count
Fuentes
.
After
that
Henry
was
killed
,
when
the
impious
World
did
justly
fear
an
eternal
night
,
Conde
returning
into
France
,
unhappily
took
the
part
of
the
Mutiners
.
(
It
is
an
ordinary
practice
in
France
thus
to
disturb
the
Minority
of
Kings
;
by
Rebellion
unpunished
,
and
therefore
frequent
.
The
disorders
being
composed
,
which
Conde
had
headed
,
when
he
suspected
not
the
Kings
vengeance
,
he
is
hastily
thrown
first
in
the
Bastille
,
and
then
into
Vincennes
.
The
tiresom
condition
of
imprisonment
lasted
five
years
,
in
which
his
wife
bore
him
company
,
of
whom
he
had
Anne
,
married
to
the
Duke
of
Longueville
,
then
after
his
release
from
this
place
Enguien
and
Conti.
First
Governor
of
Guyenne
,
then
of
Burgundy
and
Bourges
,
he
changed
his
course
of
life
,
and
minded
the
raising
his
Estate
.
The
Families
of
Princes
formerly
rich
,
and
honourable
,
fell
into
decay
by
a
delight
in
magnificency
:
the
richer
Furniture
and
Attendance
any
one
had
,
the
more
reputation
and
respect
he
found
in
his
Country
and
among
his
Tenants
.
That
Gallantry
,
and
Fame
for
Generosity
,
proving
ruinous
to
the
Nobility
,
turned
Conde
to
a
wiser
course
:
who
having
been
formerly
pinched
with
want
,
brought
into
his
house
good
husbandry
,
having
been
the
first
Horder
of
his
Family
;
and
arrived
at
old
age
,
improving
his
money
.
Some
did
believe
that
he
was
not
sordid
,
but
only
made
as
though
he
had
been
sordid
.

that
is
,
more
obsequious
to
such
as
were
in
power
.
He
was
most
lively
and
spirituous
:
a
marvellous
sweetness
,
marvellous
gayety
in
his
humor
:
Would
season
his
pleasures
with
the
interposition
of
studies
,
lengthen
his
entertainments
with
cheerful
discourse
,
and
be
pleased
with
trifles
,
but
not
taken
:
having
laid
upon
his
carriage
this
law
of
humility
,
that
he
would
never
seem
to
command
.
He
conversed
with
others
,
not
so
as
to
require
them
to
think
that
he
left
an
obligation
upon
them
in
condescending
to
admit
them
into
his
company
.
Nothing
was
more
methodical
than
the
whole
course
of
Condes
life
:
Every
action
had
its
proper
season
;
and
each
year
they
returned
in
their
due
periods
,
as
by
a
Kalendar
.
Naturally
couragious
,
when
under
apprehensions
from
the
Court
,
timerous
.
]
The
King
fell
dangerously
sick
,
which
gave
no
unjust
ground
of
fear
.
The
small
Pox
came
out
,
a
sad
contagion
;
an
humor
boils
with
a
fiery
Fever
;
that
preys
upon
all
the
graces
of
the
face
.
He
recovered
,
preserving
his
Majesty
,
and
with
only
a
few
prints
of
the
disease
left
.
In
the
mean
time
he
grew
up
under
the
Instructions
of
Hardovin
Perefix
,
Abbot
of
Beaumont
,
a
man
of
a
pleasant
gravity
and
wisdom
,
afterwards
Archbishop
of
Paris
,
who
might
have
been
styled
the
Kings
Seneca
,
but
that
he
happened
upon
a
Trajan
.
Naples
followed
that
malignant
Star
of
Rebellion
.
The
Duke
of
Arcos
governed
as
Vice-Roy
,
after
the
Castillian
fashion
,
proudly
.
The
people
complain
,
that
are
not
satisfied
.
The
Sedition
was
raised
upon
a
slight
pretence
.
A
Tribute
:
laid
upon
fruit
,
which
that
Nation
love
excessively
.
The
Youth
raising
ranging
about
,
and
with
Arms
,
shout
in
the
City
,
threaten
,
raise
the
Citizens
,
beset
the
Palace
.
The
Riot
at
Naples
increasing
by
meer
accident
,
the
Duke
of
Guise
was
then
at
Rome
,
thinking
of
nothing
less
than
of
getting
a
Kingdom
.
He
is
invited
by
the
Republick
of
Naples
,
being
but
newly
come
into
the
World
(
for
so
it
would
be
named
.
)
He
making
a
shew
of
indignation
,
that
he
should
be
sought
to
,
posting
away
with
all
his
might
,
broke
out
of
Town
,
and
committed
himself
and
all
his
Fortunes
,
to
a
small
Bark
.
[
How
much
Fate
did
that
little
Plank
carry

the
remnant

the
House

Guise
arrives
happily
,
although
through
a
thousand
dangers
;
received
with
popular
,
that
is
,
immoderate
applause
,
(
for
in
such
things
they
have
no
measure
.
)
The
vastness
of
the
swelling
Sedition
passeth
all

flourish
in
their
Trophies

they
may
appear
not

huge

forward
The
new
General
having
been
tossed
with
variety
of
Fates
,
rejoyces
at
the
unusual
Honour
.
Now
he
estimates
what
is
his
power
,
but
especially
what
is
the
pleasure
of
France
,
whose
aid
more
than
once
he
in
vain
implores
(
whether
that
that
Kingdom
were
encumbred
with
other
occasions
,

upon
diffidence
of

,
or
because
it
was
too
much
to
be
allowed
a
Subject

whilst
the
ambition
of
his
Ancestors
yet
continues
.

him
the
Goths

At

Will
of

Jone

by

abides

[
What
wonder

the

Authority
always
prevails
in

The
anger
of
Subjects

with

as

To

to

a
rapid
Torrent

]
At
the
head
and
tail
of
the
Rhyne
are
the
only
two
Nations
that
have
held
firm
in
Revolt
.
The
Switzars
and
Hollanders
,
both
having
shaken
off
the
Austrian
yoke
.
These
have
found
their
liberty
in
the
Waters
;
those
other
in
the
Mountains
.
These
the
Barricadoes
of
the
Waters
secure
;
those
the
Clefts
of
Rocks
;
riches
these
,
poverty
those
;
those
having
taken
away
all
Supremacy
,
these
having
assumed
Orange
and
his
Successors
for
their
Head
,
There
every
one
obeys
every
other
.
Here
the
Assembly
represents
the
high
and
mighty
Lords
the
States
General
.
In
the
mean
while
Prince
Thomaso
with
our
Praslin
,
restored
those
things
into
their
former
state
,
which
seemed
running
to
confusion
by
divers
expostulations
,
whilst
the
Duke
was
in
his
Infancy
,
and
Christina
a
Widow
.
Thomaso
having
left
the
Spaniards
,
and
espoused
our
Party
,
in
divers
Battels
(
having
taken
Sant
and
Trine
,
with
other
Cities
)
had
at
length
effected
it
,
that
the
French
Arms
were
masters
in
all
parts
there
.
The
Infant
King
of
Savoy
is
by
our
consent
restored
,
with
his
Mother
,
to
Turin
,
out
of
which
she
had
been
long
exiled
.
(
Whatsoever
the
Dukes
of
Savoy
do
,
they
reign
but
by
permission
;
being
invested
on
this
side
by
the
French
,
on
that
by
the
Spaniard
.
It
is
the
question
,
to
which
side
they
should
render
their
service
;
yet
had
they
better
to
the
French
,
since
the
Country
of
Savoy
and
Piemont
almost
lies
within
his
Empire
;
and
he
being
the
chief
King
who
presently
posts
thither
in
person
,
and
not
by
Vice-Roys
.
The
account
of
the
Dutchy
of
Millan
is
different
:
that
Power
is
less
to
be
feared
,
because
less
,
and
managed
by
Deputies
.
It
was
then
judged
convenient
to
carry
up
War
not
far
from
Rome
(
not
for
the
avenging
of
the
Barberines
,
as
the
common
people
thought
,
nor
for
enlarging
our
Bounds
,
but
for
the
affrighting
Innocent
,
who
had
come
surreptitiously
into
the
Papacy
,
against
Mazarines
will
.
)
Therefore
Thomaso
with
the
French
Army
,
comes
before
Orvitello
.
All
things
at
the
beginning
prove
lucky
,
but
the
end
sell
out
dishonourable
:
for
the
Siege
was
raised
,
Carlo
Gatta
,
making
a
stout
defence
.
Our
Fleet
under
Breze
their
Admiral
,
having
happily
scoured
the
Seas
,
came
thither
to
countenance
the
proceedings
of
Thomaso
:
but
Breze
having
the
thred
of
his
life
cut
off
by
a
shot
,
dies
;
one
of
the
two
eyes
of
Richlien's
Family
being
thus
put
out
.
It
is
strange
,
that
the
King
being
of
an
age
unfit
for
the
War
,
and
the
discord
of
the
Princes
growing
stronger
,
Mazarine
could
of
himself
assume
so
much
authority
,
as
that
soon
after
he
sent
thithera
new
Army
,
under
the
Command
of
Meilleray
,
who
obliged
Piombino
and
Porto-Longone
in
the
Island
of
Helbe
,
to
a
Surrender
within
few
days
.
(
The
Issand
of
Helbe
is
celebrated
by
the
Ancients
,
for
having
Mines
of
Lead
,
Tin
,
and
Vitriol
;
but
especially
producing
Iron
;
famous
for
its
Spring
,
which
rates
the
measure
of
the
days
with
its
water
,
being
dry
at
the
Winter
Solstice
,
and
overflowing
at
Midsummer

Catalaunia
is
a
Principality
in
the
hither
Spain
,
heretofore
annexed
to
the
Kingdom
of
Arragon
;
that
too
following
the
Planet
which
then
reigned
,
but
off
its
yoke
,
and
upon
certain
Conditions
subjected
it self
to
our
King
.
In
the
very
times
of
Richlieu's
,
the
Mareschal
la
Motte
was
sent
thither
to
be
the
first
Governor
of
that
Province
:
many
brave
Services
were
done
by
him
,
not
only
the
whole
Catalaunia
having
been
subdued
to
us
,
(
excepting
Larida
,
the
bastle
of
Harcourt
and
Conde
)
but
also
in
having
entred
the
Kingdom
of
Arragon
,
by
the
seizing
of
Flix
.
La
Motte
complaining
that
he
was
with
too
much
difficulty
supplied
,
and
thereupon
could
hardly
hold
out
against
the
Castillian
Assaults
,
when
our
condition
there
began
to
decline
,
was
revoked
;
being
come
to
Lyons
,
was
secured
in
the
Roche-Taillée
(
which
is
a
Castle
there
)
and
afterwards
upon
occasion
of
the
Civil
disorders
enlarged
.
Harcourt
substituted
in
his
room
,
lays
a
close
Siege
to
Lerida
:
and
when
the
King
of
Spain
approached
the
Borders
of
Catalaunia
in
Person
,
attended
by
the
Grandees
of
his
Kingdoms
,
the
Siege
was
raised
,
which
disgraced
Harcourt
,
after
so
many
glorious
Actions
.
Such
is
the
Fate
of
Sieges
,
that
none
are
certain
of
the
event
.
So
Alexander
the
Great
hazarded
his
Fame
before
Tyre
.
So
Charles
the
Fifth
at
Metz
received
an
utter
rebuke
:
So
Soliman
the
Magnificent
raised
the
Siege
of
Vienna
,
not
without
a
blot
upon
his
Name
.
The
French
Court
accustomed
to
Victories
and
Triumphs
,
ill
resented
the
rebuke
of
Harcourt
,
and
to
refund
the
disgrace
upon
the
Spaniards
,
deputed
Conde
his
Successor
,
as
thinking
he
must
conquer
all
by
his
bare
Name
.
Conde
had
the
same
luck
as
Harcourt
.
He
attempted
Lerida
,
and
being
obliged
to
withdraw
,
then
first
took
out
the
lesson
of
being
Vincible
.
(
Yet
he
gloriously
chased
away
the
Spaniards
from
the
Siege
of
Constantine
:
this
is
the
only
piece
of
Service
that
he
performed
in
Catalaunia
.
)
The
King
of
Spain
was
in
the
neighbouring
parts
,
reclaiming
the
Rebels
by
promises
and
fair
words
,
and
some
by
terrour
.
Amidst
all
this
Joseph
Margaret
,
who
having
been
the
Author
of
the
defection
,
did
the
French
gallant
Service
,
was
the
only
peremptory
Refuser
of
returning
to
his
Allegiance
.
What
was
the
mans
fortune
afterwards
,
I
shall
elsewhere
in
short
touch
upon
.
Envy
it self
cannot
deny
but
that
he
was
a
stout
and
couragious
man
.
Flanders
having
been
left
by
Orleans
and
Conde
,
Gassion
did
readily
command
all
that
Tract
;
having
for
the
most
part
his
Head-quarters
at
Courtray
,
almost
always
prosperous
in
his
Attempts
.
Vanquished
by
the
impetuousness
of
his
Courage
,
he
would
very
often
fling
off
the
bridle
of
Reason
,
but
being
puffed
up
with
a
happy
multitude
of
successes
,
thought
nothing
too
hard
for
him
to
venture
upon
.
As
he
besiegeth
Lentz
,
and
goeth
to
set
a
Palisado
,
stuck
loosly
into
the
ground
more
fast
,
his
head
was
batter'd
with
a
Canon
bullet
;
and
not
long
after
he
died
.
(
He
was
born
in
Bearn
,
of
no
mean
parentage
;
having
left
France
,
he
went
into
Germany
,
upon
the
fame
of
Gustavus
:
and
amongst
his
Voluntiers
,
having
served
to
the
death
of
that
great
King
,
not
without
Honour
,
under
the
Conduct
of
Weymar
,
returned
home
to
us
;
where
he
was
taken
into
imployment
,
first
by
Richlieu
,
then
by
Mazarine
;
he
left
no
means
unassay'd
to
advance
his
Fame
.
Of
a
noble
heart
,
but
unanswerable
fortunes
,
which
yet
he
did
openly
aver
,
honest
men
never
want
,
being
himself
remarkable
for
ancient
indigence
.
He
ennobled
his
new-raised
Dignity
with
making
great
enemies
,
owning
all
the
steps
of
his
fortune
to
himself
.
Towards
the
later
end
of
his
life
,
he
grew
to
be
disgusted
by
the
Court.
Taxed
of
Cromwellism
,
as
though
he
had
thoughts
of
passing
into
England
,
and
offering
his
Service
to
that
Tyrant
.
Some
said
,
to
the
Hollanders
At
last
he
died
of
his
wound
.
Perhaps
it
is
better
to
die
once
in
the
atchieving
of
honourable
Enterprises
,
than
to
live
longer
at
the
mercy
of
others
,
loaded
with
injuries
.
)
About
that
time
the
Venetian
Republick
opprest
by
the
Great
Turk
,
in
vain
implored
the
succours
of
Christian
Princes
.
This
was
the
occasion
of
the
War
.
A
Knight
of
Malta
met
a
Galley
of
Rhodes
in
the
Archipelago
,
and
made
Prize
of
it
.
In
this
there
was
a
Sultaness
,
who
being
carried
off
to
Malta
,
was
original
of
these
mischiefs
.
The
Musulman
stormed
,
complaining
to
our
Ambassadors
of
the
Affront
received
,
as
though
the
Order
of
Malta
.
were
at
our
controul
.
But
his
especial
Complaint
was
to
the
Venetian
Ambassador
,
because
the
Venetian
Gallies
had
not
relieved
his
,
when
it
was
in
extremity
.
He
debates
about
invading
Malta
;
and
when
the
difficulty
of
the
Enterprise
was
suggested
,
he
thought
of
Sicily
,
then
of
Calabria
:
at
length
the
fury
of
his
vengeance
flamed
out
upon
poor
Candy
.
That
Island
heretofore
called
Creet
,
was
reduced
by
Metellus
into
a
Province
,
afterwards
obeyed
the
Greek
Emperors
,
then
the
Saracens
:
at
last
coming
to
be
in
the
possession
of
Baldwin
Count
of
Flanders
and
Emperor
of
Constantinople
,
was
given
to
Boniface
Marquess
of
Monte
Ferrato
;
of
whom
the
Venetians
bought
it
,
and
to
this
present
hold
the
Dominiâ
of
it
under
the
Title
of
a
Kingdom
.
It
receives
thâ
Name
from
its
principal
City
called
Candy
.
â
Country
famous
for
the
Cradle
of
the
fabulous
Jupiter
the
unnatural
lust
of
Pasiphac

not

Government

Rhodes

and

That
fortunate
Isle
,
that
place
blessed
so
sweetness
of
air
,
for
the
birth
and
retirement
ăâă
Venus
,
was
an
invitation
of
the
Ottoman
Emperoâ
to
the
taking
of
Candy
.
This
year
Whores
and
Bawds
of
all
sort
weâ
banished
out
of
Town
,
not
by
Act
of
Parliamenâ
but
by
order
of
the
Provost
Mareschal
.
The
hanâ
somer
part
of
the
City
judged
.
Some
affirm
,
thâ
not
a
few
Priests
groaned
over
such
sourness
.
ăâă
was
scarce
evidenced
by
any
more
cruel
Law
,
say
theââ
that
the
Magistrate
hath
no
regard
of
the
publick
,
ââvertisement
;
this
is
malice
and
morosity
.
That
theâ
can
no
president
be
alledged
,
wherein
by
any
publiââ
Acts
,
restraint
hath
been
laid
upon
the
affections
ăâă
women
,
simple
fornication
having
been
in
all
placâ
tolerated
among
the
Greeks
and
Romans
,
nay
,
even
by
the
High-Priest
.
And
that
the
Common-wealth
never
concerned
it self
what
this
or
that
body
did
with
her
skin
;
that
there
is
punishment
enough
in
the
making
such
a
scandalous
profession
.
Thus
was
pleaded
among
the
idler
sort
.
Some
more
insolent
proceeded
thus
far
:
That
therefore
were
Priests
maintained
,
and
so
many
crews
of
Cordeliers
,
and
Capucins
to
attone
God
for
incurrent
sins
.
That
such
necessary
evils
were
useful
to
mankind
,
for
avoiding
worse
consequents
.
That
a
Whore
,
if
the
question
be
rightly
stated
,
is
nothing
else
but
a
kind
,
innocent
Creature
,
ready
to
bring
men
content
,
that
long
after
them
at
all
hours
.
That
they
think
this
a
more
happy
life
,
than
to
work
in
Shops
,
or
toil
in
the
fields
.
But
that
by
Bawds
the
hearts
of
mortals
were
linked
;
that
young
men
are
not
called
off
from
their
business
,
by
their
interposing
,
but
are
set
forward
in
a
quicker
dispatch
.
These
and
such
like
speeches
were
given
out
in
the
City
,
and
Court
especially
.
But
as
falls
out
usually
amongst
us
,
these
Laws
severely
executed
at
first
,
at
the
conclusion
vanished
into
neglect
,
through
a
slack
inquisition
.
For
Lovers
are
not
cruel
,
nor
do
men
most
grievously
punish
what
they
most
commonly
practise
.
(
I
think
such
to
be
the
most
perfect
,
who
so
pardon
others
,
as
though
themselves
did
daily
offend
:
and
so
abstain
from
offending
,
as
though
thy
pardoned
no
body
.
Therefore
it
is
a
good
rule
to
hold
through
the
whole
course
of
our
life
,
the
being
implacable
to
our selves
,
and
exorable
to
all
others
.
He
that
hates
vices
,
hates
men
.
The
excursions
of
lust
,
and
the
like
furies
,
are
with
great
watchfulness
and
special
endeavour
to
be
restrained
by
counsel
and
perswasion
,
from
the
breasts
of
Noble-men
and
Women
:
Because
certainly
that
House
,
that
State
,
that
Kingdom
will
easily
be
maintained
in
eternal
Honour
,
where
the
disorderly
love
of
Women
bears
the
least
sway
.
Whithersoever
that
most
assured
bane
of
mankind
insinuates
it self
,
there
infamy
rings
,
and
injury
reigns
.
Therefore
we
must
keep
at
a
great
distance
from
these
,
and
pursue
courses
contrary
to
so
dreadful
vices
.
It
was
a
shameful
thing
to
stir
those
matters
,
which
having
been
stirred
,
would
have
stunk
filthily
;
and
to
be
fierce
against
poor
Whores
,
when
noble
Ladies
did
prostitute
themselves
without
punishment
.
)
There
was
then
in
proposal
,
whether
for
the
abating
the
floods
caused
by
the
Seyne
,
the
neighbouring
streams
by
which
that
River
is
swelled
,
should
be
diverted
another
way
;
or
whether
by
cutting
a
Chanel
himself
,
should
be
abated
.
At
length
,
either
because
the
difficulty
of
the
work
deferred
,
or
to
avoid
charges
,
nothing
was
altered
:
(
Nor
ever
will
be
altered
,
till
the
French
are
out
of
their
Wits
.
Nature
the
common
Mother
,
hath
best
provided
for
mans
use
,
in
laying
out
the
months
of
Rivers
,
their
courses
,
their
home
,
and
source
,
after
a
due
line
.
)
Thus
doth
the
Seyne
,
neither
(
streightned
in
his
Chanel
,
nor
rob'd
of
his
auxiliary
waters
,
not
ungloriously
flow
with
his
former
Pomp.
Mazarine
,
that
he
might
not
be
thought
to
mind
the
Wars
only
;
furnished
a
Library
in
favour
of
the
Studious
,
with
Books
to
be
read
over
in
many
Ages
:
amongst
all
which
,
none
will
be
more
eminent
than
that
which
shall
contain
the
mans
own
Acts.
One
might
behold
shelves
raised
up
to
the
top
of
the
Roof
,
where
through
a
luxury
of
Literature
,
was
set
up
a
learned
Pile
,
not
as
Ornaments
of
a
Palais
,
but
Instruments
of
Wisdom
,
not
ranked
for
a
shew
,
but
for
use
;
to
which
the
Repositories
of
so
many
Volumes
,
set
up
by
the
Kings
of
Pergamus
and
Alexandria
,
with
great
emulation
may
not
compare
;
nor
that
of
Pollio
,
who
first
setting
up
a
Library
at
Rome
,
made
mens
Wits
a
matter
of
publick
Commerce
.
He
provided
farther
all
sorts
of
Horses
;
one
might
have
seen
standing
at
the
rich
Mangers
whatsoever
breeds
the
most
generous
Studds
had
produced
in
a
long
Race
.
Being
sumptuous
in
Building
,
as
in
other
matters
,
he
furnished
a
Palais
with
Houshold-stuff
,
incomparably
rich
;
with
Pictures
,
Images
,
Statues
,
as
though
he
would
have
transported
Rome
to
Paris
.
In
a
Royal
conversation
,
neatness
,
and
Spirit
,
following
the
Paterns
of
great
Kings
.
But
in
the
procuring
and
purchasing
such
things
,
left
France
should
return
to
its
old
rudeness
,
he
expended
those
means
,
which
others
hoard
up
for
their
particular
uses
,
to
the
entertainment
of
the
present
Age
,
and
Posterity
.
But
who
would
have
thought
that
so
dismal
times
would
ever
have
overtaken
us
,
as
that
all
these
things
,
through
ignoble
envy
,
should
by
Act
of
Parliament
be
sold
at
a
publick
Out-cry
.
Nor
are
Jewels
to
be
passed
over
,
in
heaping
up
of
which
,
I
know
not
whether
he
had
more
Bravery
or
Fortune
.
To
be
sure
the
Fame
of
them
spread
through
the
remote
Countries
of
the
World
,
moved
the
Grand
Mogol
,
who
is
Lord
over
all
the
Northern
Indies
,
to
give
out
by
his
Merchants
in
this
place
,
that
he
was
ready
to
purchase
whatsoever
precious
stones
should
be
transported
from
Paris
To
Agra
(
after
that
Mazarines
occasions
were
fully
satisfied
)
that
is
the
Metropolis
of
that
great
Potentate
.
The
Mogor
envying
the
celebrated
Vineyard
of
Prester
John
the
Emperor
of
the
farther
Aethiopia
,
that
is
of
the
Abissines
,
would
himself
also
be
glorious
in
a
like
Gallantry
,
so
that
the
winding
branches
of
his
likewise
might
twine
about
beaten
massie
gold
:
and
that
not
on
dwarfed
stakes
,
at
is
the
Abissines
,
but
high
Poles
;
the
clusters
might
shine
with
Saphirs
and
Carbuncles
:
the
Walks
paved
with
bright
Diamonds
,
and
bordered
with
the
Green
of
Emraulds
.
From
the
barren
Land
comes
no
Vintage
;
but
without
bearing
increase
,
it
blesses
the
Vine-dresser
,
and
never
fails
his
hope
,
being
content
with
being
gleaned
by
the
eye
only
.
There
was
at
this
time
a
Staple
,
so
that
many
of
our
Merchants
went
over
to
Agra
,
and
came
back
in
a
blessed
condition
.
There
were
also
Operas
for
Comical
Scenes
,
splendidly
built
,
and
Actors
fetched
from
all
parts
.
Nothing
was
happier
than
Paris
at
that
time
.
It
triumphed
abroad
,
fearing
nothing
at
home
.
Nomischiefs
of
Factions
,
no
cruelty
of
Plots
,
the
serenity
of
the
Court
being
clouded
by
no
discontent
.
The
Queen-Mother
not
yet
exercised
by
the
Fates
,
through
their
clemency
,
found
by
experience
,
that
nothing
was
more
delightful
than
her
Government
.
Mazarines
Justice
appeared
in
determining
of
Causes
,
and
his
singular
affability
towards
those
who
brought
their
Complaints
and
Requests
to
him
.
Every
hour
he
admitted
to
Audience
without
any
surly
Introducer
:
would
never
interrupt
any
one
in
his
Speech
,
till
the
modesty
of
the
Suitor
warned
him
to
be
silent
.
His
glory
was
yet
unspotted
with
any
slander
.
He
healed
whatever
was
wounded
,
not
rip'd
up
:
nor
would
examine
strictly
every
trivial
matter
,
that
he
might
be
thought
to
have
found
,
and
not
made
us
good
.
Money
flew
about
him
plentifully
in
the
City
;
for
Julius
was
not
yet
given
out
to
think
of
the
hoarding
up
of
it
;
who
though
he
were
naturally
tenacious
,
acquired
a
reputation
of
bounty
by
a
niggardly
way
of
giving
.
He
had
not
as
yet
avowedly
abandoned
himself
to
a
desire
after
Wealth
.
He
seemed
to
possess
,
not
to
be
possessed
.
(
As
malice
and
envy
afterwards
spoke
falsely
of
the
man
.
)
Publick
Charges
,
Ecclesiastical
and
Secular
Dignities
,
not
dismembred
,
not
with
a
large
portion
of
them
intercepted
were
the
rewards
of
only
vertue
.
The
faith
of
the
Courtiers
was
not
yet
engaged
by
Bribes
.
Who
would
think
of
such
a
sudden
,
that
all
should
change
,
and
this
Summer-calm
turn
into
storms
more
grievous
than
Winter-tempests
.
First
of
all
the
Tribe
of
the
Scholars
to
whom
yet
he
had
founded
and
dedicated
his
Library
,
jear
and
defame
Mazarine
in
divers
Pamphlets
,
but
such
as
are
not
long-lived
,
as
most
pieces
of
the
French
.
This
hath
been
observed
,
that
almost
nothing
hath
proceeded
from
the
Wits
of
that
Nation
,
which
promises
immortality
:
whereas
in
other
things
France
is
one
of
the
most
famous
Countries
of
the
whole
World
,
and
fruitful
in
so
many
Commodities
;
it
is
barren
in
this
only
.
Spirits
naturally
inclined
to
Drollery
and
Jest
:
a
faculty
of
talking
extempore
,
with
some
appearance
perhaps
of
raillery
.
They
haunt
great
mens
Tables
,
wander
about
their
Academies
,
trick
and
trim
their
native
tongue
without
end
,
and
boast
of
having
refined
their
Language
:
they
trot
about
this
way
and
that
way
to
make
Visits
,
do
not
delight
in
secret
solitude
,
which
is
the
only
ferment
of
studies
.
They
contend
in
most
barbarous
Emulations
,
whereupon
ariseth
unhandsom
detraction
and
ridiculous
saucines
.
They
are
the
very
Ophiogenes
and
Psilli
that
ăâă
out
only
the
poyson
of
Books
.
)
The
Women
following
Scholars
in
tongue
,
would
use
detraction
upon
their
Couches
,
and
in
their
Circles
;
they
would
curiously
unravel
the
Government
,
watch
the
words
and
actions
of
Mazarine
,
study
his
Nature
,
and
more
and
more
question
the
mans
Honesty
.
Some
of
them
prostitute
themselves
,
to
search
our
some
State-secret
,
infect
their
Husbands
unawares
with
the
malignancy
.
These
were
the
means
that
gave
birth
,
these
that
gave
growth
to
the
distempeâ
spreading
through
the
Provinces
;
for
after
our
Example
the
Kingdom
is
fashioned
.
At
that
time
four
not
ill-humor'd
,
but
such
as
did
more
hurt
by
their
life
,
than
good
by
their
Wit
,
set
all
France
in
a
Combustion
.
(
The
far
extended
ugliness
of
the
scandal
should
have
been
redressed
by
severity
:
and
had
they
been
duely
punished
,
they
would
have
brought
as
much
credit
to
the
State
,
as
by
their
ill
government
they
wrought
shame
.
)
They
afterwards
,
when
their
designs
failed
,
as
is
usual
,
precondemning
themselves
,
turned
Nuns
by
a
false
dissembling
of
Religion
,
and
a
gross
superstition
,
the
door
being
shut
to
their
vices
grown
out
of
season
;
when
rotten
old
age
,
condemned
by
the
Looking-glass
,
by
its
own
peremptory
sentence
,
doth
dread
it self
.
It
is
a
high
task
not
to
fight
with
,
but
flye
from
sin
;
nor
to
moderate
,
but
mortifie
lusts
.
The
Parliament
,
not
of
Paris
only
,
but
of
Rouen
,
Bourdeaux
,
and
Britanny
,
with
others
even
murmured
.
The
people
watching
for
Changes
and
Troubles
follow
their
Examples
,
as
is
common
.
Openly
,
that
Mazarine
must
be
removed
,
by
whom
the
work
of
Peace
was
obstructed
:
that
the
subtle
man
loved
War
,
that
so
he
might
conceal
his
Robberies
.
The
Princes
under-hand
abetted
him
,
yet
did
the
like
by
their
Creatures
and
Emissaries
;
nay
,
even
gave
out
,
that
they
would
not
have
Mazarine
removed
,
but
awed
,
that
so
they
might
fish
from
him
,
kept
in
fear
,
what
they
listed
,
that
they
could
not
have
a
more
able
Minister
:
they
must
take
heed
,
lest
banishing
away
the
Italian
,
they
should
come
into
the
hands
of
some
bold
French-man
,
who
would
restrain
their
unreasonable
Suits
,
which
were
infinite
.
Mazarine
took
no
notice
of
all
this
,
and
by
a
prudent
moderation
withstood
the
storm
:
Scattered
all
about
embers
covered
with
ashes
,
upon
which
they
like
blind
men
,
and
not
well
versed
in
Politicks
walked
,
as
the
issue
proved
.
I
do
not
think
that
ever
any
Insurrection
,
supported
by
so
great
preparation
and
strength
,
did
ever
so
vanish
away
ân
smoak
;
nor
a
Faction
discussed
with
such
dexerity
.
So
many
Nobles
,
so
many
Princes
,
the
Parliaments
of
the
whole
Kingdom
,
all
the
Capital
Cities
,
a
great
part
of
the
Armies
,
all
not
able
to
âon-plus
a
Stranger
.
(
Either
must
that
man
have
âxcelled
in
the
Art
of
Government
,
or
sloth
and
Cowarâise
have
reigned
in
these
.
)
There
were
not
wanting
that
took
encouragement
to
enter
upon
these
troubles
from
the
English
,
who
prospered
,
although
they
had
revolted
from
their
King
.
Charles
I.
King
of
England
ruled
over
three
Kingdoms
,
with
the
affections
of
his
Subjects
.
Not
being
contented
with
this
happy
state
of
Affairs
,
he
would
innovate
some
things
in
Worship
,
that
so
Calvinism
,
which
is
sapless
and
slovenly
,
might
look
fine
in
a
handsom
dress
,
trimmed
up
with
the
Ceremonies
.
Scotland
first
opposes
the
new
Liturgy
,
which
the
Parliament
of
England
affirmed
,
was
bending
towards
the
Catholick
Religion
,
(
Popery
they
call
it
;
)
the
same
way
also
did
the
Scotch
Parliament
lean
.
These
were
the
first
beginnings
of
the
Trouble
.
Nothing
is
more
certain
,
then
that
neither
the
King
,
nor
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
Primate
of
England
,
had
any
inclination
towards
the
turning
Catholicks
;
but
,
leaving
the
Doctrine
unaltered
,
would
have
put
a
Pale
of
Reverence
about
the
Church
of
England
.
There
had
been
thoughts
perhaps
about
retaining
the
solemn
Sacrifice
,
as
we
call
it
,
retrenching
the
multitude
of
Masses
,
which
through
the
unpreparedness
of
the
people
,
and
impurity
of
the
Priests
,
bring
Scandal
to
Religion
;
especially
of
barring
it
out
of
private
Houses
:
since
it
is
clearly
observed
,
the
oftner
there
is
Massing
in
private
,
the
more
hard
and
hasty
the
Master
of
the
House
grows
,
and
the
whole
Family
the
worse
.
This
hath
been
the
sânse
of
James
,
and
before
him
famous
men
have
haâ
the
same
thoughts
,
Erasmus
,
Cassander
,
Melancthonâ
and
the
latest
de
Dominis
,
Archbishop
of
Spalattoâ
(
It
hath
always
been
dangerous
to
touch
holy
thingââ
as
those
who
in
the
Old
Testament
are
punished
for
a
rash
touch
.
For
what
matter
is
it
how
the
profession
of
Religion
stand
,
so
that
people
by
it
worship
God
the
giver
of
all
good
,
and
be
obedient
to
the
Supreme
Powers
?
)
.
But
lest
I
should
against
my
resolution
insensibly
winde
my self
into
a
Whirl-pool
,
my
Boat
shall
coast
along
the
shore
,
leaving
that
best
King
of
England
,
as
the
following
Book
declares
,
among
the
Essexes
,
Fairfaxes
,
and
at
length
Cromwells
,
brought
to
extremities
,
impeached
not
only
to
have
innovated
in
the
Worship
,
but
under
that
pretence
to
have
altered
the
established
Form
of
Government
,
that
he
might
get
no
less
absolute
Authority
,
than
the
King
of
France
:
concerning
whom
,
what
is
his
Power
,
were
a
crime
to
question
:
He
only
reigns
truly
.
What
a
malignant
Star
did
then
in
all
places
influence
Kingdoms
!
You
see
at
the
same
time
the
Fates
of
France
;
you
see
of
England
,
Naples
,
Catalaunia
,
and
Portugal
,
which
having
broken
its
Allegiance
,
hitherto
kept
to
the
Philips
,
by
instinct
,
in
a
heat
,
chose
for
their
King
the
Duke
of
Braganza
,
throwing
off
the
Castillians
.
How
was
it
but
by
Fate
that
Philip.
II.
came
into
that
Kingdom
,
which
seemed
so
established
in
multitude
of
Successors
,
that
there
was
no
room
,
nor
crevise
even
for
the
most
presumptuous
hope
.
Mark
Emmanuel
King
of
Portugal
had
married
three
Wives
:
Thee
first
Isabella
,
the
eldest
of
the
Daughters
of
Ferdinand
,
and
Isabella
King
and
Queen
of
Spain
.
His
Issue
by
her
Michael
,
who
if
he
had
lived
,
had
been
the
undoubted
Heir
of
Spain
in
the
whole
extent
of
his
Empire
:
he
dyed
a
Child
,
and
his
Mother
in
Child-bed
.
Therefore
he
then
took
to
Wife
another
Mary
,
the
third
Daughter
of
Ferdinando
and
Isabella
.
(
For
Joan
who
was
the
second
,
was
given
to
Philip
of
Austria
,
of
which
Match
are
the
present
Kings
of
Spain
.
)
Of
her
Emmanued
begets
in
truth
a
numerous
Issue
,
six
Sons
,
two
Daughters
.
Lastly
,
of
a
third
Match
also
,
which
he
contracted
with
Leonora
,
Daughter
of
Philip
of
Austria
and
Joan
,
he
had
two
Children
,
a
Son
and
a
Daughter
.
This
House
was
grounded
upon
so
many
Props
.
Nonâ
to
come
to
their
Children
;
what
a
Train
,
twenty
two
were
before
Philip
and
the
Succession
,
and
hindered
the
accrewment
of
this
adventitious
Estate
.
And
yet
,
see
whether
the
Fates
invites
us
!
He
came
and
succeeded
in
right
of
Isabella
his
Mother
,
the
Wife
of
Charles
the
V.
which
was
the
elder
of
Emmanuels
Daughters
,
passing
by
Catharine
,
Daughter
of
Edward
Duke
of
Guimarance
(
who
was
the
sixth
Son
of
the
same
Emmanuel
)
and
Wife
of
John
Duke
of
Braganza
.
Bâ
the
same
Fates
tacking
about
,
it
is
returned
to
the
right
Lords
the
Dukes
of
Braganza
.
(
I
know
not
by
what
secret
cause
,
besides
the
manifest
,
these
thingâ
thus
fall
out
,
that
whereas
in
other
Arts
men
grow
perfect
by
practice
,
in
this
of
Government
it
proves
ordinarily
quite
contrary
,
and
Princes
,
swerve
,
rarely
hold
out
in
a
straight
path
to
the
Goal
.
From
the
Compliances
of
all
,
they
gather
scornfulness
:
Even
that
mighty
weight
of
Empire
may
for
some
timââ
hardly
always
,
be
sustained
with
an
upright
neck
.
Men
tire
,
and
bend
where
there
is
no
other
thing
to
restrain
,
but
the
regard
of
a
good
Name
,
and
naked
Vertue
,
and
especially
Religion
.
To
this
Corrupters
ăâă
contribute
,
an
evil
connatural
with
Courts
,
and
such
as
commending
ill
actions
,
give
a
biass
that
way
,
ăâă
turn
Power
into
Licentiousness
.
But
there
is
some
occasion
too
given
by
Subjects
,
who
are
refractory
,
and
perverse
,
and
unthankeful
towards
the
best
.
Princes
resent
that
with
trouble
and
disdain
,
and
so
by
degrees
take
off
their
affections
;
the
more
,
if
there
be
Sedition
,
or
Rebellion
,
or
Plottings
:
Then
they
think
they
have
just
title
to
oppress
and
afflict
,
All
smart
for
the
guilt
of
the
major
part
.
Blessed
we
,
who
after
so
many
provocations
of
severity
,
have
not
seen
the
Sword
drawn
but
against
the
Enemy
!
For
this
reason
the
Publick
Felicity
seems
to
have
singled
out
Mazarine
to
bring
him
to
this
Government
,
who
hath
so
principled
the
young
King
.
For
how
great
mildness
have
we
found
in
his
life
time
,
how
great
do
we
enjoy
since
his
death
,
from
the
best
and
most
just
of
Kings
!
But
neither
did
favours
,
nor
clemency
work
upon
men
to
alter
their
minds
.
The
storm
every
day
more
furiously
discharged
upon
Mazarine
.
The
Grandees
rejoyced
,
provided
to
be
still
craving
,
who
accounted
former
concessions
,
not
a
stop
,
but
a
step
to
farther
Petitions
.
A
man
of
great
importance
,
and
then
admitted
with
favour
to
the
Cardinals
ear
,
advised
him
to
fortifie
his
Interest
with
potent
Friendships
and
Alliances
;
that
he
was
therefore
undervalued
,
because
he
had
not
sure
footing
in
France
;
that
he
seemed
as
though
he
had
thoughts
of
returning
into
his
Country
,
when
he
had
made
his
Fortunes
:
that
these
and
the
like
words
were
given
abroad
;
that
great
sums
of
money
were
transmitted
to
Rome
;
he
had
there
bought
and
furnished
a
House
;
forgetting
our
Estate
,
had
Banks
of
money
out
at
use
in
Venice
and
Genoua
.
Mazarine
hearkened
to
the
Counsel
,
as
appeared
,
beneficial
,
as
the
issue
proved
,
afflictive
.
Therefore
first
of
all
he
thought
of
matching
his
Nephew
Mancini
with
the
only
Daughter
of
the
Count
d'Ales
,
the
Cousin
Germain
of
Conde
.
[
How
much
spirit
did
he
think
was
in
Conde
,
whose
Alliance
he
esteemed
the
remedy
of
his
Troubles
!
In
truth
Conde
stood
in
Condes
own
light
,
or
else
he
might
have
carried
all
in
France
before
him
.
I
am
assured
,
that
it
was
the
top
of
Mazarines
ambition
,
to
have
been
serviceable
to
him
as
his
Master
.
]
The
Princes
mind
,
in
this
particular
mistaken
,
refused
the
offer
;
being
able
to
acquire
,
as
he
thought
,
of
himself
more
glory
,
than
if
he
should
seem
to
depend
on
an
odious
Minister
.
(
Not
in
this
point
only
,
but
every
where
else
he
forfeited
great
opportunities
,
and
equalled
not
his
vast
Successes
with
any
prudence
.
)
Conde
seemed
to
slight
such
a
Match
,
which
Mazarine
made
use
of
me
to
sue
for
.
Longueville
being
certified
of
the
whole
business
,
as
he
was
greedy
to
find
occasions
,
voluntarily
interposes
himself
;
promising
his
effectual
assistance
,
not
without
a
reward
.
[
For
he
,
that
needed
nothing
but
quiet
,
thought
it
a
disparagement
in
troublesom
times
to
get
nothing
:
and
when
a
fire
was
kindled
not
to
warm
his
own
fingers
.
And
being
seriously
advised
,
that
in
a
bad
Age
he
would
dare
to
be
good
,
could
never
be
brought
to
put
off
that
humor
of
trassicking
.
]
Whereas
no
sort
dispositon
stands
upon
so
unsteady
ground
,
looking
over
with
a
readiness
to
precipitate
into
folly
and
vanity
,
but
it
may
easily
be
managed
by
the
rein
of
prudence
,
to
return
into
the
straight
path
;
only
our
Princes
,
incapable
of
any
,
but
suborned
advice
,
draw
against
it
.
)
Therefore
did
Longueville
require
the
Command
of
Havre
de
Grace
,
as
the
reward
of
Mancinis
Match
,
against
all
conscience
and
reason
:
whereas
upon
that
sole
account
of
having
the
Government
of
Normandy
,
he
ought
to
be
debar'd
from
the
Command
of
a
Castle
,
purposely
built
to
bridle
that
Governor
.
The
Cardinal
answered
me
,
when
I
requird
Havre
de
Grace
,
that
it
was
not
at
his
disposal
;
and
he
wondred
in
this
state
of
Publick
Affairs
,
he
would
press
such
an
unseasonable
Proposition
,
that
was
declined
by
Orleans
and
Conde
,
as
diametrically
opposite
to
the
Kings
Interests
.
Longueville
replies
,
he
would
not
have
the
strong
Hold
for
his
own
use
,
but
that
it
might
be
a
Sanctuary
for
the
King
in
distress
,
and
Mazarine
himself
would
shortly
be
obliged
to
quit
Paris
,
and
flye
into
Normandy
,
which
unless
the
Castle
of
Havre
de
Grace
restrained
it
,
would
be
apt
to
run
out
into
Sedition
.
Well
,
said
Mazarine
,
go
carry
the
Duke
word
,
that
I
will
do
my
endeavour
to
give
him
abundant
satisfaction
.
This
I
related
word
for
word
.
Then
,
saith
Longueville
,
I
shall
have
Havre
de
Grace
:
Mazarine
,
say
I
,
said
not
so
:
but
pray
,
go
to
his
Eminence
your self
,
and
there
your
Grace
may
perceive
his
full
meaning
.
I
will
not
do
it
,
replies
Longueville
,
I
like
the
ambiguousness
of
the
promise
.
In
the
mean
time
he
boasts
,
that
Havre
de
Grace
was
promised
him
.
This
Mazarine
denies
;
Longueville
affirms
.
I
am
called
in
as
Witness
in
presence
of
Orleans
and
Conde
.
I
report
the
matter
faithfully
as
it
was
.
Both
of
them
are
condemned
by
Orleans
,
Longueville
,
that
he
had
taken
in
too
strict
a
sense
words
of
a
large
import
.
Mazarine
,
that
he
had
deluded
Longueville
with
vain
hopes
in
using
suspense
,
terms
of
which
he
had
always
infinite
in
store
.
The
injury
of
scorning
his
Alliance
,
and
this
contest
occasioned
a
difference
,
from
whence
afterwards
grew
distaste
,
malice
,
and
at
last
imprisonment
,
and
innumerable
troubles
,
of
which
I
shall
speak
in
the
next
Book
.
Here
follow
the
Civil
Commotions
,
whose
causes
were
therefore
the
more
violent
,
because
unjust
.
The
Nation
valiant
in
Arms
,
of
a
vast
Bulk
within
it self
,
not
to
be
managed
,
only
able
to
effect
its
own
destruction
,
happy
if
it
could
endure
to
expect
with
patience
,
as
it
is
forward
to
conceive
sudden
hopes
,
without
the
disturbance
of
an
unadvised
and
easie
inclination
to
change
,
could
no
longer
rest
in
the
Harbour
of
Happiness
.
This
must
be
farther
added
,
that
Families
exhausted
with
Luxury
,
Debts
contracted
,
Estate
and
Credit
consumed
,
and
decays
of
Fortunes
neither
reparable
by
empty
Titles
,
nor
Gifts
extorted
from
the
Court
,
were
the
effectual
incentive
of
Civil
war
.
THE
THIRD
BOOK
OF
THE
HISTORY
OF
FRANCE
.
The
CONTENTS
.
What
disturbed
the
Peace
of
France
,
falling
into
Troubles
:
What
pushed
the
People
to
the
madness
of
taking
up
Arms
:
What
Accidents
followed
upon
that
calamitous
night
:
from
the
first
Eruption
of
the
Disorders
till
the
Peace
unsoundly
concluded
at
S.
Germans
.
FOrtune
was
at
this
time
contriving
in
several
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
but
especially
in
the
City
,
the
grounds
and
causes
of
Civil
Commotions
;
which
arising
upon
several
occasions
,
were
delightful
to
our
Enemies
,
successuful
to
our
Princes
,
and
their
Party
,
but
almost
destructive
to
the
King
.
France
made
of
it self
a
sad
spectacle
âȘ
Here
Mazarine
making
head
against
the
assaults
of
Fate
,
laid
all
his
hopes
to
stake
:
and
bearing
in
his
mind
the
whole
Scheme
of
the
Government
,
so
maintained
the
Authority
of
the
young
and
innocent
King
,
that
in
five
years
time
the
stoutest
Opposers
were
subdued
,
and
he
received
the
State
wearied
with
Civil
dissensions
under
his
peaceful
Ministry
.
The
truth
of
History
will
be
questioned
,
when
it
shall
perswade
Posterity
,
that
this
Peace
was
ratified
without
any
great
Execution
:
and
that
only
gentleness
wrought
a
blushing
to
offend
.
This
Book
with
the
five
following
,
will
be
full
of
variety
of
Events
,
cruel
in
Battels
,
and
jarring
with
Seditions
.
You
will
every
where
meet
with
Informers
or
Flatterers
.
No
soundness
,
no
plain
dealing
,
nor
any
safety
in
trusting
the
entirest
friends
.
It
was
1648.
which
year
the
Astrologers
did
prognosticate
would
prove
unlucky
to
the
State
of
France
.
[
Whether
their
predictions
be
vain
,
and
it
is
but
our
credulity
to
invade
future
Events
;
or
whether
it
be
our
errour
to
misinterpret
the
great
design
of
the
Fates
:
to
be
sure
many
Prodigies
on
Earth
and
in
the
Heavens
,
were
some
denunciations
of
the
celestial
wrath
.
]
France
being
transported
with
its
high
successes
,
had
turned
the
eye
of
the
astonished
World
upon
it
.
The
more
prosperously
our
Aflairs
succeeded
,
the
more
speedily
the
disaffected
thought
their
intentions
of
raising
Civil
Commotions
were
to
be
executed
;
pretending
what
is
ordinary
in
such
cases
,
the
Publick
good
.
That
the
grievances
of
the
people
were
intolerable
;
The
Provinces
were
pilled
,
by
Excise-men
;
and
the
City
it self
groaned
under
the
burden
of
Taxes
:
That
the
Treasury
was
drained
;
and
the
French
money
to
the
astonishment
of
the
Spaniard
conveyed
into
Italy
.
Michael
Particelli
,
a
Lucese
by
birth
,
called
Monsieur
Emery
,
was
Superintendent
of
the
Finances
,
or
Receiver
General
.
An
able
person
,
and
especially
an
expert
Chequer
man
,
but
voluptuous
.
He
had
used
himself
to
ease
;
tender
over
his
body
;
but
never
minding
Religion
,
as
an
unnecessary
business
.
His
body
,
clog'd
the
vigour
of
his
mind
,
which
by
his
intemperance
he
brought
to
the
grave
before
its
time
.
The
publick
storm
fell
hard
upon
him
.
It
was
not
Emery
was
sought
after
,
but
under
him
an
occasion
of
rising
.
I
cannot
deny
but
that
he
,
like
a
subtile
man
,
transferred
the
publick
mischiefs
upon
Cardinal
Mazarine
,
to
save
himself
from
the
imminent
dangers
:
would
cry
up
his
prudence
and
wit
;
he
only
wanted
Experience
of
the
French
State
.
Such
sort
of
Praisers
,
are
the
most
pernicious
Tribe
.
Then
Particelli
was
of
advice
,
that
the
Statute
of
Paulet

that
is

a
Priviledge
for
Parliament
men
,
paying
the
King
a
certain
annual
Rent
,
to
continue
that
Office
in
their
Families
.
[
Paulet
under
Henry
IV.
was
the
Inventor
of
that
device
.
Before
Francis
I.
Publick
Charges
were
not
bought
and
sold
,
but
were
the
rewards
of
Vertue
.
]
That
Law
being
null'd
,
Emery
thought
the
Parliament
would
be
bridled
,
and
ranged
within
its
duty
.
But
by
threatning
this
from
time
to
time
,
he
provoked
the
Parliament
,
that
was
greedy
after
Changes
,
and
incensed
it
against
himself
.
From
hence
arose
Complaints
,
Reproaches
,
Debates
,
and
Mazarine
was
struck
at
through
the
sides
of
Emery
.
There
arose
another
mischief
no
less
destructiâ
to
the
Publick
Quiet
.
The
Masters
of
Requesâ
eminent
men
,
after
they
have
for
some
time
serve
in
Parliament
,
purchase
this
place
at
no
small
suâ
of
money
.
By
that
means
they
have
an
access
â
be
Lieutenants
and
Justices
of
Peace
in
the
Country
or
Agitants
in
the
Armies
.
They
see
to
the
Collection
of
Taxes
,
and
certifie
up
every
thing
to
thâ
Privy
Counsel
.
Emery
had
a
purpose
to
augmen
their
number
,
upon
design
of
scraping
more
money
by
that
means
.
The
Masters
of
Requests
startled
at
it
,
were
put
into
great
passion
(
such
influence
hath
the
Interest
of
private
advantage
upon
thâ
minds
of
men
.
)
They
complain
grievously
tâ
Mazarine
,
whom
they
did
now
obliquely
reflect
upon
.
For
the
Grandees
and
Leading-men
in
the
House
drove
at
this
,
to
cast
all
the
blame
upon
him
out
of
a
mischievous
and
bad
design
,
not
to
expeâ
him
(
which
was
then
scarce
thought
of
by
any
)
but
to
over-awe
him
,
and
render
him
subservient
to
their
Interests
.
I
do
not
deny
that
some
there
were
,
who
wished
him
turned
off
through
the
fraiâ
temper
of
humane
Spirit
,
that
always
judgeth
that
best
,
which
it
wants
.
There
was
one
Peter
Broussel
,
a
Member
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
most
single
in
his
carriage
,
easie
of
access
,
a
vertuous
and
most
honest
man
;
of
no
ill
Principles
,
but
easie
to
be
led
by
the
designing
party
.
Therefore
he
seemed
fit
to
be
made
the
subject
of
the
tinkling
Cymbal
to
sound
for
the
publick
discontent
.
The
seeds
of
Civil
discord
are
fomented
every
day
more
than
other
.
The
Masters
of
Requests
publish
a
Libel
very
derogatory
to
the
Kings
Authority
.
They
unite
with
the
Parliament
,
and
joyn
together
in
disobedience
to
the
Kings
Prohibition
.
They
agitate
about
the
male-administration
of
the
Kingdom
;
That
the
publick
money
was
misemployed
to
private
uses
,
thereupon
there
was
no
Treasury
,
no
Common-wealth
;
that
burdens
were
laid
upon
the
people
,
such
as
they
were
no
longer
able
to
bear
;
That
there
was
an
end
of
the
French
Empire
:
some
person
must
be
found
out
to
relieve
the
distressed
State
.
Now
if
any
one
thought
the
Kings
Revenue
too
small
,
it
would
have
the
defect
supplied
,
not
by
oppressing
the
Subject
,
but
by
good
husbandry
,
that
every
one
should
limit
his
expences
,
not
after
his
lusts
;
which
are
unlimited
,
but
according
to
his
means
.
That
it
was
but
a
pretended
complaint
,
that
the
Kings
Revenue
was
not
sufficient
for
his
Disbursements
:
whenas
so
many
former
Kings
have
lived
upon
them
with
credit
and
splendour
,
have
been
renowned
in
the
Field
,
and
terrible
to
their
Enemies
both
in
Peace
and
War
.
The
more
strictly
these
Meetings
were
prohibited
,
the
more
often
were
they
held
.
Blammeny
,
Charton
,
and
Broussel
,
speak
more
boldly
than
the
rest
.
That
in
the
Minority
of
the
King
,
the
Charge
of
the
Kingdom
lay
upon
the
Parliament
;
time
would
,
come
,
as
,
heretofore
hath
fallen
out
,
that
the
King
coming
to
Age
,
and
entring
himself
upon
managing
the
Government
,
would
call
the
Parliament
to
an
account
for
the
mis-government
of
the
State
of
France
.
Therefore
they
should
provide
to
be
found
such
as
had
the
courage
to
be
good
Patriots
in
bad
Times
:
such
would
they
be
,
as
should
pity
the
publick
misery
,
and
prevent
future
Troubles
.
How
it
reflected
upon
the
French
Name
,
and
was
scandalous
in
the
face
of
Europe
,
that
none
could
be
found
within
so
famous
a
Kingdom
,
worthy
to
be
intrusted
to
set
at
the
Helm
of
that
State
:
but
they
must
be
put
to
make
use
of
a
strangers
head
âȘ
That
it
a
hard
,
a
hard
case
,
cry
they
,
Country-men
!
and
if
there
were
any
drop
of
true
French
Blood
running
in
our
veins
intolerable
;
that
a
Spanish
Woman
and
a
Foreigner
,
Roman
be
he
,
or
Sicilian
,
should
tread
upon
her
Kingdoms
.
That
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
should
be
so
tame
,
as
that
none
of
them
should
dare
to
open
his
mouth
:
but
let
it
be
stopped
with
promises
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Common-wealth
goes
to
wrack
,
no
man
ventures
with
the
publick
Fortune
,
but
every
one
shifts
for
himself
.
They
make
indeed
,
say
they
,
many
and
fair
offers
:
but
as
soon
as
a
crust
is
thrown
before
them
,
they
are
still
,
and
sleep
soundly
over
the
publick
Sufferings
.
What
have
we
to
do
with
Italian
Fidlers
,
with
Players
,
and
Comedians
?
The
Manners
of
France
are
of
themselves
more
than
enough
corrupt
,
and
do
not
need
Out-landish
debaucheries
.
These
carry
out
our
money
,
and
bring
in
their
vices
.
To
what
purpose
are
there
so
many
Scenes
,
and
Operas
to
represent
incestuous
Amours
,
whose
subjects
for
the
most
part
contain
adulterous
Acts
?
A
custom
of
seeing
such
sights
grows
into
a
boldness
of
imitating
such
practices
.
Our
young
Gentry
learns
nothing
from
thence
but
names
of
new
lusts
,
and
unbandsom
Ribaldry
.
Our
Country-manners
are
by
degrees
abolished
,
and
utterly
turned
out
by
taking
in
lasciviousness
from
abroad
:
so
that
whatever
means
of
corrupting
,
or
being
corrupted
,
is
any
where
had
,
may
be
seen
in
the
City
;
and
our
Youth
degenerates
into
foreign
fashions
,
by
having
no
business
wherein
to
be
employed
.
Nor
is
there
only
a
liberty
âo
all
loosness
,
but
a
kind
of
constraint
:
For
persons
have
been
taken
notice
of
that
did
not
come
to
see
Comedies
.
Are
they
not
likely
to
prove
rare
Judges
that
attend
upon
wanton
Tunes
and
Melody
of
Voices
?
That
nights
too
farther
were
taken
up
with
these
disgraceful
entertainments
,
that
so
no
time
might
be
left
to
modesty
;
but
in
a
promiscuous
Company
,
what
every
debauched
Wretch
designed
in
the
day
,
he
might
take
the
boldness
to
effect
in
the
night
.
For
Mazarine
himself
,
that
he
perhaps
was
of
a
blameless
life
,
and
had
a
profound
Wit
:
but
that
it
was
through
his
indulgence
that
the
Court
swarmed
with
Italians
;
the
Streets
ârung
of
nothing
but
their
unknown
Gibbrish
which
grates
upon
our
ears
.
That
the
money
is
spent
upon
Plays
,
whilst
brave
men
are
left
to
struggle
with
extreme
indigence
.
Where
are
those
ancient
Statesmen
,
that
assisted
the
needy
;
that
did
not
count
the
Church-Revenues
their
private
Possessions
,
but
the
reward
of
Vertue
?
What
is
more
shameful
than
for
men
of
Honour
to
wait
in
the
Ante-Chamber
without
any
distinction
from
the
mean
Attenders
?
day
and
night
to
stand
to
the
mercy
or
scorn
of
Porters
?
and
discontented
to
take
Coach
,
left
the
babling
Servant
should
unhappily
blaze
abroad
the
misadventure
of
a
Visit
attempted
without
success
?
That
Biragues
the
Milaânite
heretofore
was
intrusted
with
the
Management
of
our
Affairs
,
but
he
was
of
integrity
?
no
Scholar
indeed
,
nor
trained
up
to
Arts
or
Sciences
,
only
supported
the
Person
of
Chancellour
,
and
no
more
.
And
this
practice
was
in
good
time
used
to
win
the
Transalpine
Galls
to
bear
our
yoke
.
The
Marquess
d'
Ancres
never
presided
over
our
Counsels
,
but
was
tolerated
,
for
the
Queens
particular
favour
,
which
he
enjoyed
:
and
had
been
longer
,
if
he
had
not
so
far
forgot
himseââ
and
us
,
as
to
turn
all
to
his
own
ends
:
and
within
left
posterity
this
Caution
,
not
over-much
to
trust
the
deceitful
Complements
of
French-men
.
Now
the
master
sounds
far
different
abroad
the
world
:
that
ăâă
have
put
our
necks
under
a
foreign
yoke
;
that
ăâă
France
depends
upon
Julius
Mazarine
;
that
he
keep
under
the
same
Roof
,
with
the
King
,
is
called
Prime
Minister
,
a
name
unknown
to
us
,
under
that
pretenââ
that
he
deals
about
War
and
Peace
,
about
the
Exchequer
,
the
Dignities
and
Revenues
of
the
Church
,
the
Principal
Offices
of
the
State
,
as
about
his
own
Concernment
without
any
controul
.
That
the
King
and
Queen
are
not
to
be
applied
to
but
by
his
permission
âȘ
And
,
what
is
more
scandalous
,
that
the
Italian
Ministers
carry
them
so
loftily
,
as
that
no
man
of
any
understanding
can
endure
their
scornfulness
.
All
this
was
said
,
and
much
more
bitter
speeches
,
which
because
they
were
thrown
abroad
in
common
talk
,
I
forbear
to
set
down
in
this
place
.
At
length
the
matter
came
to
that
pass
,
as
that
when
the
prohibited
Meetings
were
held
against
the
Kings
Will
in
usual
manner
,
and
the
discontents
daily
grew
higher
:
it
was
judged
convenient
to
imitate
the
wisdom
of
Mariners
,
who
,
when
a
tempest
is
risen
,
lighten
the
Ship
by
throwing
!
over-board
the
burden
which
might
endanger
all
.
So
it
was
thought
convenient
to
dismiss
Emery
,
which
gave
a
President
of
very
ill
consequence
.
From
thence
did
not
come
the
end
of
their
boldness
,
but
a
farther
step
.
Mazarine
did
not
like
it
at
all
:
but
being
over-born
with
much
difficulty
,
was
drawn
to
comply
with
such
as
gave
unsound
Counsels
.
He
knew
all
,
but
could
not
act
all
that
he
saw
needful
,
waiting
for
the
proper
season
,
which
no
man
did
more
wisely
imploy
,
than
his
Eminence
:
he
would
work
by
gentle
means
,
what
others
perswaded
him
to
carry
by
rough
.
Bountiful
in
promises
,
by
which
he
brought
over
not
a
few
;
rendred
others
of
mad
,
stark
mad
:
while
they
reported
to
the
people
,
that
they
had
been
tamper'd
withal
by
Bribes
to
desert
the
Kingdom
oppressed
under
a
grievous
weight
;
but
would
rather
lose
their
lives
,
than
betray
their
trust
.
The
Commons
grow
more
and
more
insolent
.
The
City
is
rent
into
Parties
.
Those
which
adhered
to
the
King
are
called
Mazarinists
:
such
as
pretended
in
idle
words
to
maintain
the
Publick
Good
,
Frondeurs
or
Slingers
.
[
It
hath
been
a
constant
practice
in
all
memory
,
that
such
as
attempt
new
alterations
in
State
,
assume
to
themselves
some
new
Nick-name
,
as
descretive
of
their
Party
.
]
Slingers
they
were
called
,
because
they
had
resolved
like
David
to
bring
down
the
Giantlike
greatness
of
Mazarine
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Tumults
did
not
asswage
,
but
grew
higher
;
because
the
Grandees
having
searched
into
the
apprehensions
of
the
Court
,
revealed
all
their
intentions
to
the
Faction
.
No
man
could
be
secure
of
another
.
Wherein
the
supereminent
parts
of
Mazarine
did
out-shine
and
surpass
all
:
that
being
betrayed
by
his
most
intimate
friends
,
he
could
by
his
proper
Judgment
and
piercing
Counsel
scatter
such
a
thick
Cloud
of
Troubles
.
It
was
weighed
in
the
Privy
Counsel
with
a
scrupulous
scale
of
debate
what
course
was
test
to
be
taken
,
whether
to
yield
to
the
time
and
rising
storm
,
or
to
restrain
the
Seditious
by
making
some
terrible
Example
.
Mazarine
was
of
Judgment
:
That
they
should
sail
with
a
side-wind
and
laveer
.
That
time
was
the
safest
Physician
.
Thâ
small
delays
often
produce
great
advantages
;
Meetings
,
thus
associated
,
are
broken
by
space
of
time
:
Nâ
cost
was
to
be
spared
,
so
the
bad
might
be
separatââ
from
the
good
.
They
might
easily
be
supprest
single
;
there
was
no
standing
against
a
breach
;
but
if
it
wenâ
cut
into
Rivulets
,
so
it
might
be
easily
mastered
.
These
and
such
like
Votes
did
Mazarine
give
.
The
Queen
having
not
yet
found
by
experience
his
sagacity
in
pressing
difficulties
,
distrusted
his
counsel
:
which
being
by
many
disliked
,
at
last
proved
beneficial
to
recover
the
publick
Peace
.
Chavigny
full
of
the
haughtiness
of
Richlien
,
bold
upon
his
successes
in
advancement
(
his
own
temper
pushing
him
forward
)
but
especially
being
of
a
cruel
Nature
raved
;
thinking
with
himself
,
that
one
part
must
take
:
either
that
the
violent
course
,
to
which
he
advised
,
must
prosper
;
or
if
his
advice
proved
unsuccessful
,
and
turned
to
the
worse
,
that
Mazarine
must
down
,
which
was
the
thing
he
most
wished
for
.
How
long
,
saith
he
,
most
gracious
Soveraign
,
will
you
endure
the
dishonourable
Gown
,
and
Tyranny
of
the
Parliament
?
Ye
Ghosts
of
Lewis
XIV
.
and
Richlieu
,
where
are
ye
?
What
need
so
many
Treaties
,
by
which
their
boldness
doth
but
increase
âȘ
Gibbets
should
be
set
up
,
and
the
Rascals
are
to
be
toââ
from
the
despised
Lilies
.
Their
Necks
should
by
tyed
up
by
Hangmen
.
Before
all
things
Broussel
should
be
fetched
hither
,
who
no
longer
acts
the
Parliament
maâ
,
but
the
Detractor
from
the
King
.
Let
him
vote
whaâ
he
would
have
reformed
or
altered
:
he
may
be
easilier
âorn
his
charging
in
particular
,
than
condemning
in
general
.
Doth
he
dislike
the
Kingdom
for
five
years
held
in
Peace
,
or
the
Victories
without
expence
of
Armies
?
He
must
needs
be
of
a
crazy
mind
that
disapproves
the
things
which
give
encouragement
to
Wits
.
Can
any
Judge
think
much
to
lend
hit
ears
to
honest
studies
,
and
allowable
divertisements
?
That
a
few
nights
be
allowed
to
mirth
,
not
to
wantonness
:
in
which
amidst
such
a
number
of
lights
no
dishonest
act
can
be
concealed
.
In
truth
the
shews
of
Mazarine
passed
without
any
notorious
scandal
.
Our
France
heretofore
barbarous
,
thus
by
degrees
is
civilized
.
Richlieu
introduced
the
splendour
of
Building
.
Mazarine
,
to
that
lustre
hath
farther
brought
in
Gentileness
of
Carriage
and
Courtesie
:
at
Rome
was
heretofore
polished
by
Descendents
from
Greek
Parentage
.
Concerning
difficulty
of
access
,
what
wonder
is
there
among
the
French
,
who
,
if
their
King
expose
himself
to
cheap
Visits
,
haunt
him
without
any
Reverence
:
and
unless
they
be
strictly
ordered
to
keep
at
this
distance
,
would
unseasonably
skip
in
at
every
crevise
,
so
that
no
door
could
be
sufficient
to
hold
them
out
?
What
part
of
time
would
be
left
for
business
,
if
the
Minister
were
at
every
moment
free
for
entertainments
?
These
and
such
like
things
did
Chavigny
alledge
,
which
yet
were
not
approved
:
but
it
was
resolved
to
oblige
Broussel
,
Charton
,
and
Blammeny
to
depart
out
of
Town
:
and
not
that
in
a
disgraceful
manner
,
but
they
must
be
put
into
Coaches
,
and
carried
to
some
places
not
far
out
of
the
City
.
An
opportunity
for
doing
this
must
be
pitched
upon
on
the
solemn
Thanksgiving-day
,
for
the
Victory
at
the
Battel
of
Lentz
:
then
it
might
conveniently
be
performed
âȘ
because
on
that
day
,
without
giving
the
people
any
suspicion
the
Kings
Troops
stand
drawn
up
oâ
both
sides
of
the
street
to
attend
His
Majesty
passing
along
to
Nostre
Dame
to
sing
Te
Deum
for
the
Victory
obtained
.
Matters
being
thus
ordered
,
about
noon
,
wheâ
the
Guards
were
at
their
Duty
,
Cominges
Captaiâ
of
the
Queens
Guards
enters
into
the
small
Habitation
of
Broussel
.
The
old
man
was
sitting
with
his
Children
about
a
frugal
Table
:
He
is
chargeâ
in
the
Kings
Name
immediately
to
go
into
a
Coach
that
waited
for
him
before
the
door
.
This
Messagâ
he
receives
with
attention
;
and
obeys
not
in
â
mean
submission
,
as
if
he
had
been
a
Criminal
;
buâ
retaining
a
modest
gravity
,
as
a
Senator
,
and
turning
back
to
his
Children
,
saith
;
Watch
and
be
patient
,
following
this
Example
of
Gonstancy
.
Keep
close
to
that
path
which
I
have
trod
.
Nor
flye
out
hastily
to
rob
me
of
my
only
comfort
.
Do
not
involve
your selves
in
dangers
through
my
Fortune
.
I
have
purchased
you
a
stock
of
Glory
:
see
that
you
be
able
to
preserve
it
.
The
time
is
coming
when
all
France
will
remember
Broussel
.
These
few
words
Broussel
having
spoken
,
entred
the
Coach
without
any
token
of
fear
.
His
Page
by
chance
coming
home
,
meets
his
Master
,
as
he
is
carried
away
:
he
falls
a
crying
and
roaring
,
and
running
after
the
Coach
,
cryeth
out
to
all
that
he
knew
:
His
Master
is
carrying
away
:
to
all
that
he
did
not
know
,
Broussel
wââ
made
Prisoner
.
Never
did
Sedition
rage
in
such
menacing
terms
:
Never
was
the
Vulgar
so
cruelly
inflamed
.
A
Boys
crying
within
a
quarter
of
an
hours
time
put
100000
men
in
Arms.
[
O
frail
Mortality
!
frail
Mortals
,
what
are
we
?
A
transient
Scene
,
a
vain
shadow
without
substance
.
With
âhow
great
successes
did
the
French
Glory
then
exalt
it self
?
What
blessed
times
did
shine
?
How
many
Gallantries
at
home
,
and
in
the
field
?
To
what
purpose
are
these
Commotions
of
Spirits
,
and
so
great
Discords
?
Great
happiness
cannot
sustain
it self
,
but
sinks
under
its
own
weight
.
Such
is
the
Divine
pleasure
;
when
it
is
decreed
to
overthrow
States
and
Empires
,
to
send
effectual
Causes
for
humane
Errours
.
]
Charton
upon
some
foreknowledge
,
escaped
out
of
the
way
:
Blammeny
is
carried
to
Vincennes
without
any
noise
.
Only
Broussel
is
called
after
:
It
was
openly
talked
;
That
the
best
Patriots
for
standing
up
for
their
Laws
and
Liberties
,
were
hurried
away
on
a
day
of
Feasting
,
in
times
of
Peace
.
That
the
time
designed
for
publick
mirth
was
stained
,
the
joy
of
the
Townsmen
disturbed
,
the
serenity
of
the
City
clouded
.
Their
forwardness
to
merriment
was
turned
into
sadness
;
before
any
cause
heard
,
without
legal
tryal
.
The
King
being
attended
by
none
of
the
Princes
,
only
a
few
of
the
Life-Guards
:
the
Parliament
incensed
,
the
Commons
incensed
,
with
fresh
discontents
.
All
the
Court-party
were
accused
of
Treason
.
The
most
loose
men
,
were
most
desirous
after
Stirs
,
in
hopes
to
reap
their
particular
Advantages
.
The
factious
Tumult
carried
along
with
it
the
compliance
of
the
better-meaning
men
.
Those
that
resisted
the
Sedition
,
were
stoned
as
they
went
along
.
The
Streets
were
ânpaved
,
the
Houses
untiled
:
stones
flew
about
ears
;
fury
turning
every
thing
that
came
next
to
hand
into
Weapons
.
It
was
uncertain
,
which
weââ
best
,
to
tarry
and
be
taken
,
or
to
disperse
,
and
ăâă
away
.
Sometimes
courage
was
pretended
,
anoâ
fear
discovered
,
and
as
it
falls
out
,
when
mind
are
stir'd
up
to
sedition
they
did
fear
and
werâ
feared
.
The
Nobles
in
all
parts
laying
aside
theâ
rich
Habits
,
and
forbearing
the
train
of
Servants
went
into
remote
streets
of
the
Town
,
Feâ
would
keep
in
their
own
houses
:
but
the
moââ
lodged
at
their
friends
,
or
lay
incognito
in
obscurâ
Corners
.
Many
scaped
out
of
Town
by
diverâ
means
;
some
in
Servants
Cloaths
:
others
conveyed
by
those
that
depended
on
them
.
Not
a
few
took
courage
for
their
concealment
.
Meillerây
Mareschal
of
France
,
rode
stoutly
through
the
City
most
remarkable
amongst
all
.
On
every
side
weââ
Arms
and
Threats
,
the
streets
being
barricado'd
by
Hogshead
âȘ
and
Iron
Chains
.
Their
minds
enâged
with
blind
fury
now
against
the
Nobles
:
whâ
would
imagine
it
,
anon
against
the
Senate
.
And
because
they
could
not
design
any
one
in
particular
to
their
anger
:
they
were
bold
withal
in
general
.
The
violence
of
the
Commons
was
scarely
restrained
by
the
doors
of
the
Royal
Palace
from
breaking
in
.
They
demand
to
have
Broussel
shewed
them
:
fain
they
would
see
the
face
and
look
of
Broussel
.
Lamentable
was
the
face
of
the
City
âȘ
Every
man
run
mad
,
without
any
Leader
;
receive
Warrant
from
himself
,
to
forbid
whatever
is
commanded
;
to
command
whatever
is
forbiddeâ
Soon
,
that
which
falls
out
in
desperate
cases
,
every
one
commands
,
and
none
executes
.
The
Life
Guards
kept
not
the
use
of
tongue
,
nor
heart
,
no
ears
.
The
besieged
in
the
Louvre
and
the
Besiegers
had
their
different
fears
.
The
Citizens
threatned
by
their
Arms
what
the
Spaniard
durst
not
have
presumed
.
The
Spirits
of
the
honest
party
were
overwhelmed
with
pity
and
care
:
but
,
what
is
always
wont
to
fall
out
in
so
great
Consternation
,
every
one
would
be
giving
of
counsel
,
few
would
undertake
what
had
danger
.
This
menacing
night
,
and
offering
to
break
out
into
some
horrid
outrage
,
the
carefulness
of
Mazarine
did
allay
.
He
walked
the
Rounds
undaunted
,
not
in
Robes
suited
to
his
Dignity
,
but
having
disguised
the
gracefulness
of
his
looks
in
a
Perruque
:
Sets
Sentinels
and
Guards
at
several
places
here
and
there
,
giving
this
charge
,
Neither
to
fright
,
nor
be
frighted
:
but
watching
all
motions
to
restrain
violence
,
not
provoke
it
.
When
it
was
day
Peter
Seguier
Chancellour
of
France
,
is
dispatched
to
the
Parliament
,
to
carry
them
the
Kings
Orders
:
or
in
truth
to
try
what
was
their
intention
.
The
Common-people
did
not
go
forth
in
duty
and
respect
to
meet
and
wait
upon
him
:
but
received
him
with
sowre
menaces
,
and
looks
that
declared
more
of
obstinacy
,
than
repentance
.
The
Chancellour
passed
on
with
a
countenance
formed
to
gentleness
,
beckning
all
the
way
as
he
went
to
the
people
to
keep
silence
.
They
roared
with
fierce
exclamations
:
Rascals
thronged
about
the
Coach
:
sometimes
there
was
a
confused
murmuring
:
other
times
a
terrible
out-cry
,
as
their
passions
varied
in
height
:
they
beset
the
Coach
,
examining
him
,
Whither
he
was
going
?
that
he
too
might
cross
the
peoples
interests
after
his
old
wont
?
At
once
they
rush
upon
him
,
and
threaten
to
tear
up
the
stones
that
the
streets
are
paved
with
.
And
he
was
now
ready
to
be
crowded
to
death
with
the
violence
of
the
press
,
when
he
was
sheltred
,
by
getting
to
the
Hostel
de
Luyne
:
which
as
it
was
the
place
of
his
Birth
,
was
his
Mother
and
almost
his
Grave
.
These
being
concealed
from
the
fury
of
the
Rout
,
which
filled
the
House
with
swaggering
and
menaces
,
he
escaped
through
the
goodness
of
God
by
the
errour
of
the
Searcher
.
How
nearly
,
you
may
judge
by
this
,
that
he
had
no
longer
thoughts
or
coming
off
with
life
,
but
how
to
die
decently
.
Thus
was
that
place
ennobled
by
having
concealed
him
who
is
worthy
to
be
shewed
to
all
posterity
.
Through
the
singular
favour
of
Fortune
,
which
permitted
the
hope
of
the
Laws
,
over-born
by
corrupt
Manners
to
lie
hid
in
safety
.
When
the
Court
came
to
hear
of
this
,
the
Queen
was
much
concerned
,
left
the
life
of
such
an
excellent
Person
should
fall
into
the
hands
of
base
Fellows
.
So
Meilleray
on
Horse-back
with
Dort
,
break
through
the
seditious
Crew
:
and
having
rescued
the
Chancellor
from
that
imminent
danger
,
convey
him
back
safe
to
the
Queen
in
a
Coach
half
torn
:
the
Guard
being
frighted
,
and
some
of
them
slain
.
The
Sedition
breaks
out
farther
,
and
the
madness
of
the
people
rises
to
higher
exasperation
.
F.
Paul
Gondy
designed
Archbishop
of
Paris
,
(
commonly
styled
Coadjutor
,
)
in
his
Pontifical
Robes
,
carrying
with
him
a
Veneration
as
he
passed
along
the
streets
,
moderated
the
people
with
Language
and
Gesture
;
He
would
treat
about
their
Proposals
;
the
King
was
neither
without
clemency
,
nor
yet
severity
.
Some
there
were
that
taxed
Gondy
,
as
if
his
heart
he
had
been
somewhat
favouring
Alterations
.
However
the
matters
were
in
truth
,
that
was
the
first
day
of
Gondy's
withdrawing
,
and
the
cause
of
all
those
evils
,
which
that
Prelate
eminent
in
mind
,
birth
,
and
merits
,
fell
into
afterwards
;
from
this
time
he
shall
be
ever
after
called
the
Archbishop
of
Corinth
.
At
length
the
Parliament
sent
the
choicest
part
of
their
Body
to
his
Majesty
,
to
request
the
release
of
their
Fellow-members
.
They
proceeded
,
marshalled
two
and
two
in
long
Files
on
foot
,
graciously
nodding
upon
the
Commoners
as
they
passed
along
.
Mole
the
prime
President
of
the
Parliament
(
who
never
wanted
a
dextrous
application
in
managing
any
business
)
with
freedom
and
gravity
thus
addrest
to
her
Majesty
.
That
those
had
been
evil
Counsels
to
rend
out
of
the
Parliament
honest
men
and
good
Patriots
,
charged
only
for
maintaining
the
Liberties
of
their
Country
,
and
that
on
a
day
of
most
solemn
Rejoycing
,
all
suspicion
of
it
being
blinded
by
occasion
of
the
publick
Festival
.
That
nothing
is
more
pernicious
,
nor
to
the
dishonour
of
the
French
Nation
,
than
to
handle
violently
what
with
time
and
gentleness
hath
always
found
good
success
in
our
State
.
That
those
who
gave
such
advice
,
were
the
men
that
raised
the
Tumults
,
and
continued
so
to
do
day
after
day
.
That
here
was
no
need
of
long
deliberation
,
but
the
Prisoners
to
be
released
:
nor
must
the
Kings
Honour
or
Authority
be
pretended
;
but
that
the
safety
of
the
Kingdom
is
the
supreme
Law
.
That
what
he
says
were
no
illusions
or
pretences
,
that
100000
men
in
Arms
attended
for
Monsieur
Broussel
.
That
when
men
had
Arms
in
their
hands
,
they
were
allowed
anything
when
before
they
were
denied
reason
.
For
Allegiance
,
Duty
,
Reverence
there
was
an
end
of
them
.
These
were
all
trodden
under
foot
.
He
trembled
to
relate
the
sad
courses
that
he
saw
taken
.
To
this
the
Queen
answered
in
short
;
the
Chancellor
somewhat
larger
,
That
the
Privy
Council
would
take
care
that
their
Proposals
should
be
satisfied
,
&c.
As
they
went
back
in
the
same
Rank
and
File
as
they
came
,
the
people
meets
them
,
and
asks
,
What
was
done
in
the
bussinss
.
Then
Mole
nodding
,
signified
all
was
well
.
When
one
hot-headed
Fellow
flying
out
,
presents
his
Sword
to
his
breast
,
and
bids
him
,
Go
back
again
;
Is
this
the
setting
Broussel
at
liberty
?
Are
our
Requests
thus
disappointed
?
Are
you
thus
returned
without
obtaining
leave
to
do
us
any
good
?
Some
of
the
Parliament
men
slipt
away
for
fear
:
Mole
not
at
all
affrighted
,
returns
back
again
to
the
Court
,
and
presseth
earnestly
,
that
the
Prisoners
must
be
immediately
released
,
or
else
all
given
for
lost
.
Upon
so
great
a
distraction
,
the
Queen
having
summoned
her
Counsel
,
inquires
what
Expedient
could
be
found
in
this
so
great
difficulty
.
It
is
debated
on
both
sides
by
violent
speeches
,
that
it
would
be
a
dangerous
severity
,
or
pernicious
clemency
,
if
either
nothing
,
or
if
all
were
granted
the
people
:
yet
Reasons
being
then
weighed
one
against
the
other
,
it
was
resolved
to
set
at
liberty
Blammeny
and
Broussel
at
that
time
,
the
Darling
of
the
common
people
,
and
an
empty
shadow
of
their
liberty
.
The
Parliament
(
a
thing
never
before
heard
of
)
being
assembled
in
the
Gallery
of
the
Louvre
,
and
giving
their
Votes
,
Letters
are
written
for
the
releasing
Broussel
and
Blammeny
;
whereupon
the
Rings
Coaches
are
instantly
lent
to
bring
them
thither
;
of
so
great
importance
is
the
safety
of
the
State
in
extremity
.
[
Mazarine
who
had
stoutly
withstood
the
former
bad
proceedings
,
did
more
stoutly
oppose
these
very
low
concessions
.
But
what
could
he
do
when
affairs
were
in
a
condition
rolling
down-hill
?
Warily
he
considers
all
things
,
and
looks
forward
upon
the
future
.
Maintains
the
Honour
of
his
Majesty
,
as
much
as
the
irregularity
of
the
times
and
ill
success
of
business
admit
.
]
The
Sedition
was
a
little
pacified
;
yet
they
continue
to
keep
to
their
Arms
out
of
a
proud
Bravado
;
secretly
giving
out
,
as
if
there
were
some
design
in
the
bottom
.
[
Oh!
how
miserable
are
those
that
live
without
the
compass
of
Religion
and
Law
!
what
once
they
have
deserved
,
they
always
expect
.
]
That
evening
Blammeny
returned
:
Broussel
came
home
the
next
morning
with
joyful
acclamations
,
to
see
his
rejoycing
Children
and
dear
Friends
.
From
that
day
forward
he
lived
as
before
,
in
a
constant
tenour
of
honest
conversation
,
innocent
in
his
carriage
:
that
heat
of
popular
affection
being
somewhat
cold
:
one
bounded
within
his
rank
.
A
person
of
no
ill
design
,
over-born
by
the
stream
of
the
Factious
through
the
publick
storm
,
to
run
upon
Shelves
and
Sands
:
[
To
teach
posterity
how
vain
and
failing
a
stay
it
is
,
to
lean
upon
such
Props
as
will
always
be
condemned
,
and
continued
to
the
perpetual
ruine
both
of
high
and
low
.

It
was
a
shame
for
the
King
,
in
a
manner
beleaguer'd
to
tarry
any
longer
in
the
City
.
Therefore
Mazarine
took
care
to
have
him
conveyed
to
Ruel
,
two
miles
out
of
Town
,
upon
pretence
of
taking
the
air
.
The
Ring-leaders
of
the
Sedition
fretted
,
and
could
not
digest
to
have
the
King
rescued
from
their
fury
.
And
now
there
began
to
be
a
great
alteration
in
the
Rout
:
for
after
there
came
certain
news
that
succours
were
coming
,
which
had
been
drawn
out
of
Condes
Army
,
and
were
on
the
way
marching
thither
hastily
,
many
were
frighted
into
their
Wits
again
.
Then
they
began
soberly
to
reflect
how
presumptuously
they
had
carried
themselves
against
the
King
.
An
apprehension
seized
them
under
this
fright
,
that
there
were
now
come
those
who
would
call
them
to
an
account
for
their
high
Treason
.
And
this
consternation
of
spirit
found
grievous
tokens
of
ensuing
misery
in
all
,
even
those
of
the
meaner
sort
.
What
increased
these
fears
,
was
a
wondrous
cheerfulness
in
Mazarine
who
had
great
assurance
of
his
Majesties
Forces
.
Here
I
first
begun
to
be
acquainted
with
divers
transactions
as
being
employed
in
them
(
but
having
been
carried
away
by
the
dissenting
Party
,
did
many
things
upon
which
I
reflect
with
grief
.
)
The
more
credit
ought
to
be
given
me
who
shall
offer
to
Posterity
nothing
but
what
I
have
been
an
Eye
and
Ear-Witness
of
,
free
from
inclination
to
flattery
as
from
ill
affection
to
the
Governours
.
Whatever
hath
been
transacted
in
secret
:
and
coloured
over
with
an
artificial
gloss
,
as
far
as
cometh
within
the
reach
of
my
knowledge
,
I
shall
expose
to
the
open
view
of
the
noon-day
light
.
The
Ages
to
come
disengaged
from
hope
and
fear
,
will
applaud
the
good
,
and
hiss
out
the
contrary
actions
.
That
so
great
a
Body
of
the
Mutineers
should
be
shaken
by
so
very
few
,
was
the
sport
of
Fortune
.
Blammeny
and
Violet
were
then
the
principal
Leaders
.
The
injury
of
their
late
Imprisonment
sunk
deep
into
their
spirits
,
and
particularly
the
great
fall
of
their
Uncle
the
Bishop
of
Beavais
.
What
could
Fortune
have
added
to
Violet
?
He
had
a
plentiful
Estate
,
an
honourable
place
in
the
Parliament
,
although
he
could
not
obtain
the
Office
of
being
the
Queens
Chancellor
.
Only
that
restless
spirit
of
his
strived
to
compass
by
means
of
the
troubles
,
what
he
could
not
presume
to
hope
for
in
peaceable
times
.
The
first
remarkable
act
of
the
retirement
to
Ruel
,
was
the
imprisonment
and
banishment
of
Chavigny
.
He
was
apprehended
at
Vincennes
,
and
conveyed
over
,
through
by-Lanes
,
and
wild
Forests
to
Havre
de
Grace
.
There
a
strict
Watch
attended
upon
him
when
he
was
asleep
.
This
was
hard
to
one
that
had
never
been
pinched
with
cares
or
sufferings
.
while
he
was
yet
scarce
in
the
prime
of
his
youth
,
he
had
arrived
at
those
preferments
,
which
would
have
satisfied
many
men
of
great
Name
to
have
held
in
their
old
age
.
For
through
the
high
favour
of
Richlieu
,
during
his
time
,
he
run
a
race
of
unimpeached
Honour
.
Uncapable
of
suffering
adversity
with
patience
,
because
he
blushed
not
at
the
being
conscious
of
any
former
meanness
.
Thus
missing
those
respects
that
had
been
constantly
paid
him
,
he
was
astonished
at
the
first
blow
of
Flortune
,
having
fed
himself
with
a
strong
conceit
of
being
uppermost
.
He
bears
Mazarine
a
spleen
,
and
never
leaves
turning
all
things
,
till
he
could
overturn
him
.
The
Mutineers
catch
up
a
new
occasion
of
complaining
in
publick
,
That
Justice
was
perverted
,
and
the
Laws
trampled
upon
in
the
case
of
Chavigny
:
That
no
person
might
be
held
in
prison
,
but
for
a
certain
space
of
time
,
and
that
very
short
,
without
declaring
his
Crime
,
and
having
his
defence
heard
in
the
House
;
such
new
Ordinances
,
and
those
that
follow
.
That
Strangers
should
be
removed
from
bearing
Offices
in
the
State
:
The
oppressed
Provinces
mull
be
eased
,
and
Paris
groaning
under
the
excessive
burden
of
Taxes
:
the
King
ăâă
be
brought
home
to
his
principal
City
.
These
are
the
chief
Heads
that
were
diversly
controverted
,
both
at
Ruel
and
at
S.
Germains
,
between
the
Court
and
Parliament
,
the
Judgments
sometimes
of
Orleans
,
sometimes
of
Conde
,
leaning
either
this
or
that
way
:
upon
secret
ends
,
and
that
were
ready
to
burst
out
into
farther
dissensions
.
Here
begins
a
general
storm
to
gather
over
Mazarine
,
against
whom
openly
,
as
against
a
Rock
,
the
seditious
Billows
break
their
strength
.
Orleans
steps
in
as
Mediator
between
Court
and
Parliament
.
He
would
make
up
the
differences
,
yet
was
heartily
glad
they
were
made
;
supposed
by
that
means
to
promote
the
Interests
of
the
Abbot
de
Rivieres
,
that
was
designed
for
a
Hat
at
Rome
.
Conde
returned
from
the
Campagne
,
elated
with
his
fresh
Victory
,
at
first
dealt
roughly
with
the
Senate
;
afterwards
flattered
their
Leaders
:
entertained
ăâă
moderate
thoughts
,
pretended
at
least
to
Constable
,
or
Admiral
.
Longueville
instigated
his
Brother
in
Law
,
boasting
that
he
had
obtained
Havre
de
Grace
,
the
famous
strength
of
Normandy
.
Although
in
truth
there
were
no
such
promise
made
him
,
yet
âhe
vapoured
after
his
wonted
manner
;
so
taking
âan
occasion
to
fall
from
his
former
Party
.
The
Archbishop
of
Corinth
put
Longueville
on
to
such
courses
upon
a
vain
expectation
:
as
if
he
should
be
declared
by
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
Prince
of
the
Blood
,
as
we
call
them
.
And
because
what
the
mind
desires
,
it
is
easie
to
perswade
it self
,
shall
come
to
pass
.
He
cherished
such
vain
dreams
in
âhis
thoughts
with
a
pleasing
credulity
.
Anne
Bourbon
,
the
Wife
of
Longueville
,
was
of
great
moment
to
the
Faction
:
she
carried
along
with
her
the
Archbishop
of
Corinth
,
the
Duke
of
Retz
,
her
Brother
Conti
,
with
Rochefoucault
,
who
was
then
that
Ladies
Cabinet-Counsellor
.
A
Woman
of
a
high
Spirit
,
and
shrewd
Wit
,
that
could
turn
her
Creatures
into
a
thousand
shapes
:
could
not
turn
her
own
violent
inclinations
.
Turbulent
without
advantage
:
expecting
nothing
from
the
Confusions
,
bur
the
bare
confusions
.
She
too
pretended
,
the
publick
and
private
Good
,
as
the
rest
did
:
that
their
Tyranny
must
be
abated
with
Arms
,
who
had
put
the
King
upon
cruel
Counsels
,
and
rendred
the
Princes
odious
to
him
,
and
suspected
.
Amidst
these
matters
,
the
Queen
having
always
a
smoother
brow
than
publick
state
of
Affairs
did
deserve
,
seeth
her self
manifestly
struck
at
through
the
sides
of
Mazarine
.
She
composeth
her
face
to
cheerfulness
,
recollecting
her
thought
how
to
provide
for
the
future
.
She
bridles
her
grief
,
nor
imparts
the
knowledge
of
it
to
any
confident
.
The
secret
loftiness
of
her
spirit
over
power'd
her
look
:
tempering
her
gesture
and
carriage
in
a
conflict
between
dissimulation
and
a
jââ
sorrow
:
still
secure
in
contempt
of
the
Factioâ
Mazarine
knew
the
affections
of
the
Princes
weââ
unsound
,
and
that
their
counsels
were
revealed
ăâă
the
Mutineers
.
Nor
was
more
dangerous
plotting
in
the
Town
,
than
in
the
Camp
.
Politickly
taking
no
notice
of
all
this
,
he
applied
his
mind
to
ăâă
accommodation
.
Although
he
believed
,
that
these
bold
outrages
are
to
be
feared
at
the
first
heat
,
where
they
have
taken
time
,
abate
of
themselves
:
and
as
the
Faction
grows
stale
,
utterly
fall
.
That
when
people
are
glutted
with
perpetual
new
fancies
,
they
always
return
to
the
Reverence
of
their
lawful
Sovereign
;
and
is
Repentance
extorted
from
them
,
though
against
their
wills
.
These
and
the
like
things
being
debated
in
his
mind
,
and
seeing
that
the
Grandees
were
secretly
affected
to
the
Tumults
;
he
thinks
it
not
safe
to
make
use
of
hands
,
suspected
of
prevarication
,
in
an
Engagement
that
might
ruine
all
.
That
there
were
but
a
few
about
the
King
,
and
those
of
ill-affected
and
perverse
Judgments
,
that
took
indeed
this
Party
,
but
would
fight
on
the
opposite
side
,
if
occasion
offered
.
This
sense
of
Mazarine
was
disliked
by
many
understanding
men
,
who
were
of
opinion
,
That
the
distress
of
the
young
King
would
be
a
case
raising
the
detestation
of
all
Nations
,
whose
Governours
can
never
be
quiet
,
if
their
Subjects
may
controul
them
in
the
choice
of
their
Ministers
,
or
ensnare
them
for
their
honesty
.
Therefore
it
were
better
to
press
close
upon
the
Faction
now
startled
:
that
loyal
Subjects
have
always
fought
with
more
courage
for
their
King
,
than
others
will
for
their
evil
design
.
Mazarine
adhered
to
his
resolution
,
that
his
Majesty
should
return
to
the
City
,
and
their
Proposals
should
be
granted
:
As
though
greater
evils
might
have
bin
feared
,
had
he
not
yielded
to
be
deceived
.
Here
were
it
superfluous
to
transcribe
the
Articles
set
out
in
the
publick
Gazette
.
The
substance
of
them
amounts
to
this
,
as
I
have
already
said
;
That
many
Taxes
were
to
be
abated
in
Towns
and
Country
,
the
Provinces
were
to
be
eased
of
them
by
the
Masters
of
Requests
;
no
man
might
be
kept
in
prison
above
the
space
of
one
natural
day
,
without
answering
to
his
charge
in
the
House
:
which
was
eagerly
disputed
,
and
approved
even
by
the
Court-party
,
every
one
thinking
his
own
private
Concernment
lay
in
the
Case
.
Chavigny
is
released
and
turns
aside
to
Tours
:
where
looking
down
upon
the
vanities
of
the
Court
,
as
from
the
lofty
Tower
of
a
contented
mind
,
he
applied
his
thoughts
to
the
study
of
wisdom
:
in
which
resolution
how
long
he
persevered
,
the
sequel
of
the
Story
will
declare
.
Frances
de
Lorraine
,
the
Dutchess
of
Vandome
,
exhibited
a
Petition
in
the
behalf
of
her
Husbands
and
her
Childrens
ill
usage
;
which
the
Parliament
âudged
improper
then
and
there
.
Thus
the
first
âeat
of
Paris
asswaged
.
I
now
apply
,
my self
to
future
accidents
,
of
a
more
grievous
nature
.
These
matters
being
thus
composed
,
about
the
end
of
October
,
his
Majesty
returns
to
Paris
:
The
Faction
not
at
all
struck
with
fear
or
grief
for
their
Riot
,
cannot
abandon
its
unquiet
disposition
:
but
having
got
strength
,
through
his
Majesties
Royal
Clemency
,
and
the
obtaining
their
Petitions
,
as
being
now
established
by
Law
,
maketh
the
former
Concessions
but
a
step
to
higher
Demands
.
The
Parliament
not
yet
fully
calmed
,
boiled
up
with
new
designs
.
The
storm
of
Envy
dischargeth
it self
upon
Mazarine
,
who
in
so
suipicious
a
time
,
jealous
of
every
thing
,
did
certainly
look
for
greater
Troubles
.
It
is
openly
cryed
out
,
That
the
Aâ
must
be
laid
to
the
root
:
the
Stranger
must
be
expelled
out
of
the
Kingdom
:
as
though
that
were
the
only
cure
for
the
publick
Distemper
.
Reverence
every
day
abated
more
than
other
,
every
body
would
presume
to
advise
,
and
to
be
giving
directions
how
to
govern
the
State
.
The
confusion
of
impolitick
Guides
began
to
swell
as
high
,
as
the
rage
of
the
common
People
.
Approaching
danger
might
be
read
in
the
faces
of
the
Courtiers
.
Violet
,
a
man
full
of
self-confidence
,
spoke
boldly
thus
in
the
House
.
That
Mazarine
wanted
nothing
of
being
King
,
but
the
Title
and
Crown
.
What
was
yet
obtained
,
was
but
a
Preludium
to
his
future
Greatness
.
He
would
every
day
trample
more
hard
upon
the
weak
years
of
an
undiscerning
Child
.
Whââ
Peer
,
âaith
he
,
will
be
able
to
stand
against
him
,
after
he
hath
run
out
his
full
race
of
unbounded
ambitiââ
and
avance
?
Then
looking
upon
Orleance
and
Conde
,
saith
he
,
This
is
your
Concernment
.
Coââ
disliked
such
a
bold
slander
.
Chastillon
had
informed
Violet
,
that
such
Discourses
would
please
thâ
Prince
,
who
had
already
visited
Broussel
and
Longueville
,
to
advance
his
interest
by
popularity
.
But
whether
Condes
mind
were
wavering
,
or
whetheâ
upon
change
of
judgment
,
he
esteemed
it
the
better
way
to
vindicate
his
Sacred
Majesty
:
whatever
were
the
occasion
he
frowned
at
the
words
that
were
then
thrown
out
against
Mazarine
.
That
Fate
was
to
be
blamed
,
not
Mazarine
.
He
aimed
chiefly
at
the
Kingdoms
happiness
:
nor
did
proudly
vaunt
in
so
high
a
Fortune
.
Why
should
it
be
matter
of
offence
to
any
,
that
the
vertuous
qualities
of
that
Eminent
Stranger
,
might
in
their
passage
impart
their
lustre
to
France
?
That
the
Queen
by
order
of
her
deceased
Husband
,
had
taken
him
on
to
sustain
part
of
her
cares
:
seeing
her
own
neck
could
not
bear
up
under
such
a
pressing
load
,
unless
she
found
out
this
assistance
.
Nothing
could
be
condemned
in
him
,
but
his
happiness
.
He
did
not
ground
any
strength
upon
Garrisons
,
nor
upon
Castles
:
did
not
interest
his
Majesties
Treasure
.
That
the
Queen
did
not
so
much
recompense
his
past
fidelity
with
Honours
and
Gifts
,
as
engage
it
for
the
future
.
That
the
King
could
not
without
reproach
abandon
him
to
his
Enemies
,
but
might
maintain
him
with
Honour
and
Conscience
,
and
without
any
danger
to
his
Estate
.
Mazarine
answered
several
times
,
That
he
would
be
gone
,
so
that
he
were
neither
way-laid
nor
assaulted
.
That
he
longed
for
nothing
more
after
so
many
obligations
,
than
a
peaceful
departure
.
It
began
then
to
be
questioned
amongst
some
of
the
prime
Nobility
,
which
way
he
might
be
most
safely
conveyed
away
,
and
in
what
disguise
.
A
Lady
of
great
Quality
promised
she
would
in
the
evening
furnish
him
with
a
Habit
proper
to
that
purpose
.
But
all
these
passages
were
but
ridiculous
:
for
he
never
intended
to
go
away
:
nor
if
he
had
,
was
there
need
of
any
Mask
or
Disguise
.
The
Queen
fearing
to
provoke
the
fierceness
of
the
Times
,
Enemies
,
and
Fates
,
dealt
warily
.
Shâ
cleared
Mazarine
of
all
Censure
;
only
doubted
this
,
lest
by
his
indulgence
to
the
Grandees
,
he
might
have
exposed
his
Dignity
to
contempt
and
injuries
.
It
was
evident
,
that
he
had
not
occasioned
the
growing
Troubles
of
France
by
any
mis-government
,
or
misdemeanour
of
his
.
Mazarine
at
the
sight
of
the
raw
and
angry
sores
of
the
Body
Politick
,
always
looking
at
the
main
chance
and
end
,
took
care
that
the
Kingdom
might
be
restored
to
perfect
and
durable
soundness
:
and
upon
the
breaking
out
afresh
of
so
many
cicatrized
boyls
,
(
having
found
in
the
malignant
humor
the
strength

At

Germans

by
what
Expedient

were

and
Gun-powder

cared
so
much

reside
in
the
Bastille

and
having
seized
the
Isle
of

Party

principal

Michaââ

to
be
mentioned

That
the
King
should
go
out
of
Town

and
the
passages
stoppâ

bringing
in
the
bread
from
Gonesse

if
that
were
prevented
,
the
Rout
would
fall
Upon
the
Heads
of
the
Faction

would
pay
obedience
to
their
bellies
,
not
to
them
,
that
an
hungry
people

than
a
Victime

Conde
willing
to
approve
his
duty
to
his
Majesty
,
in
such
an
Exigent
of
Affairs
,
votes
,
That
the
City
should
be
close
besieged
,
and
the
Rebels
broke
by
force
.
Mazarine
first
disliking
all
these
courses
,
as
full
of
hazardous
consequence
,
declares
,
That
many
incurable
evils
may
come
from
those
courses
:
That
the
Granaries
,
even
of
private
men
,
were
full
in
Paris
:
the
innocent
too
would
be
destroyed
for
the
fault
of
the
Delinquents
:
Yet
the
Counsel
of
laying
a
Siege
,
was
not
without
apparent
probability
of
good
success
.
Madame
Longueville
full
of
discontent
,
and
unable
to
endure
with
any
patience
,
that
Conde
was
torn
from
her
Party
:
draws
in
to
her
Brother
Conti
,
(
free
from
Plots
,
and
not
having
a
heart
hardned
in
bad
designs
)
her
Husband
,
the
Archbishop
of
Corinth
with
his
Followers
,
and
Rochefoucault
,
newly
come
from
the
Campagne
.
[
This
last
was
her
chief
Confident
.
A
Genius
of
Friendship
had
inspired
them
both
in
the
House
of
the
Palais
,
which
was
embarqued
in
the
same
bottom
.
]
Beaufort
,
Elboeuf
,
and
innumerable
others
,
came
into
the
Party
.
The
multitude
of
Slingers
wat
great
,
both
in
the
Parliament
,
and
in
the
principal
Families
of
the
City
.
All
which
particulars
,
I
shall
afterwards
more
fully
handle
.
It
was
the
fifth
day
of
the
new
year
,
consecrated
to
the
Festival
of
the
Kings
,
who
came
from
the
East
to
worship
Christ
lately
born
:
this
day
the
City
kept
with
great
jollity
and
feasting
after
the
usual
manner
,
when
the
Queen
,
full
of
publick
and
private
cares
,
sate
close
with
Mazarine
in
Consultation
,
about
carrying
on
the
future
War
.
Thâ
Kings
Majesty
was
more
and
more
dishonoured
by
the
shameless
Rebellion
.
Mazarine
weighing
thâ
disgrace
,
justly
apprehended
,
lest
his
Majesty
should
every
day
be
more
undervalued
.
Many
ways
hâ
considered
,
being
well
assured
,
such
is
the
French
temper
,
as
to
measure
all
actions
by
the
success
,
and
to
attribute
for
the
most
part
to
Fortune
,
what
is
due
to
Vertue
.
Defeats
are
punished
with
them
by
contempt
.
Upon
the
Disquisition
,
at
length
this
Vote
appeared
the
best
;
to
fall
on
the
Faction
while
it
is
unprovided
,
and
immediately
to
turâ
the
Power
against
them
.
And
lest
words
should
be
rumoured
by
delay
,
that
very
day
it
was
resolved
in
the
Palais
Royal
to
depart
secretly
,
and
at
midnight
leave
the
City
immersed
in
wine
and
good
chear
.
Besides
the
Queen
and
Mazarine
,
Orleans
,
Coude
,
Meilleray
,
Villeroy
,
Grammont
,
Telleir
,
and
the
Abbot
of
Rivieres
agreed
in
this
resolve
.
Grammont
had
given
him
in
charge
to
convey
away
the
King
,
Queen
,
and
the
Duke
of
Anjou
,
which
he
carried
happily
:
for
with
his
usual
Policy
he
escaped
the
strict
Watches
of
the
Faction
at
a
Postern
.
Orleans
,
with
Mazarine
,
was
got
clear
by
another
by-Road
.
At
the
midst
of
Queens
Course
,
on
the
way
to
Chaliot
,
was
the
general
Rendez-vous
.
Through
sharp
frosts
and
rugged
ways
,
having
travelled
all
the
dark
night
,
by
break
of
day
they
arrive
safe
at
S.
Germans
.
Conde
tarried
a
little
behind
,
to
bring
off
with
him
his
Mother
,
Brother
,
and
Sister
.
His
Mother
and
Conti
sets
forth
in
compliance
with
him
:
the
Dutchess
of
Longueville
refused
,
alledging
for
excuse
her
fear
of
miscarrying
,
in
that
she
was
near
her
time
:
but
in
truth
keeping
in
mind
the
engagement
at
the
meeting
of
Noes
,
she
had
far
other
designs
in
her
head
.
The
Guards
early
in
the
morning
march
out
to
overtake
and
wait
upon
the
King
.
Not
a
few
Nobles
go
speedily
after
,
whether
out
of
Duty
,
or
Policy
.
Orleans
is
made
General
,
du
Plessis
Praslin
takes
up
Quarters
at
S.
Denis
,
three
miles
out
of
the
City
.
Grammont
at
S.
Clouds
:
Corbeil
is
immediately
invaded
.
The
Queen
rejoycing
that
all
her
designs
,
through
the
Divine
blessing
succeeded
,
and
that
forces
to
take
her
part
,
were
coming
up
from
every
place
,
treats
Conde
courteously
in
remembrance
of
his
past
Services
,
and
the
sense
of
her
present
necessity
,
to
make
use
of
him
,
doubling
all
expressions
of
kindness
towards
him
.
Nor
was
he
wanting
to
deserve
her
good
word
,
behaving
himself
with
all
reverence
to
the
Queen
in
a
becoming
modesty
.
In
the
Town
of
Poissie
,
and
the
neighbouring
places
,
a
strict
prohibition
is
made
,
that
no
Victuals
should
be
carried
into
the
City
.
The
Country
about
Paris
is
made
wast
by
the
rude
Souldiers
.
Hostility
is
acted
openly
;
all
dangers
and
shapes
of
Fortune
appear
terrible
.
The
City
is
frighted
,
lest
taken
in
her
actual
Rebellion
,
she
should
suffer
condigne
punishment
:
they
were
constrained
by
fear
,
that
had
not
been
wrought
upon
by
favours
.
The
miscarriage
of
a
few
threatning
destruction
to
all
,
whilst
punishment
was
inflicted
upon
the
far
extended
Body
of
the
spreading
Delinquency
.
By
the
shortned
supplies
of
one
day
,
it
was
seen
that
mans
life
is
sustained
by
fresh
meats
:
and
Cities
be
the
bringing
in
provisions
from
abroad
.
Troops
are
in
all
parts
levied
.
Raising
Souldiers
is
imposed
upon
Priests
and
Magistrates
;
nothing
is
excused
from
Contributions
:
the
Authors
of
the
disorders
being
but
few
,
the
consequent
destruction
involved
all
.
At
the
same
time
the
Seyne
swelling
upon
Rains
and
a
sudden
Thaw
,
had
overflowed
the
flat
parts
of
the
City
.
Several
houses
were
born
down
,
and
men
drowned
.
That
inundation
was
looked
upon
as
a
Prodigy
,
as
if
the
very
Rivers
assaulted
Paris
;
[
Fools
taking
that
which
is
Chance
or
Nature
,
for
Fate
,
or
the
Divine
Wrath.
]
In
the
mean
time
spreading
same
had
dispersed
all
abroad
the
News
of
the
Cities
calamity
.
The
most
faithful
Peers
in
their
mutual
Conference
,
did
not
touch
upon
the
wretchedness
of
the
times
.
Her
Majesty
keeping
all
passages
carefully
in
memory
,
distinguished
from
the
rest
such
as
were
worthy
for
her
to
trust
alone
.
The
King
by
Letter
to
the
Provost
of
the
Merchants
(
that
is
an
Office
at
Paris
)
recites
cursorily
the
causes
of
his
Retirement
;
the
fickleness
of
the
Faction
,
Plots
laid
against
his
Person
;
and
that
he
could
not
with
safety
continue
any
longer
in
the
City
.
Orleans
and
Conde
under
their
hand
profess
themselves
to
have
been
the
Advisers
of
the
Kings
Retirement
.
The
Parliament
is
charged
by
the
Kings
Writ
to
adjourn
to
Montargie
.
The
City
was
affrighted
at
that
,
which
is
in
a
night
of
darkness
,
unless
the
King
and
Parliament
shine
upon
them
.
The
Archbishop
of
Corinth
summoned
by
the
Kings
Letter
,
shews
himself
ready
to
obey
.
Gets
into
his
Coach
,
as
if
he
were
just
upon
quitting
the
Town
.
The
common
people
flock
about
him
offering
to
stop
his
Horses
by
the
reins
.
He
had
before
engaged
the
affections
of
all
to
him
.
The
throng
was
violently
moved
with
earnest
passion
towards
him
.
All
kissed
his
Hand
,
or
his
Scarlet
Gown
.
He
chose
rather
to
follow
the
Caresses
land
Applauses
of
the
common
People
,
than
the
Kings
Commands
.
[
In
such
distress
to
attract
the
minds
of
the
Vulgar
,
must
needs
require
Art
and
Industry
.
]
Talor
,
Bignon
,
and
Melian
,
which
are
called
the
Kings
Proctors
in
the
Parliament
,
are
sent
Commissioners
to
his
Majesty
.
They
come
back
again
without
having
Audience
,
or
so
much
as
being
admitted
into
his
Majesties
presence
.
Conde
chiefly
laboured
it
might
be
so
:
upon
design
to
advance
his
glory
by
the
Troubles
then
in
being
.
Such
things
as
were
suitable
to
the
present
occasion
,
were
conveyed
to
Paris
.
It
is
scarce
credible
,
what
a
plenty
of
all
manner
of
provision
flowed
in
:
and
with
what
scarcity
they
struggled
in
the
Leagure
without
.
The
Peasants
run
any
hazard
,
so
they
may
but
succour
the
besieged
.
Every
one
had
full
liberty
to
come
in
:
all
are
stopped
from
going
out
again
;
to
the
end
sure
,
that
the
Court
might
relent
at
so
many
pledges
and
relations
.
Several
persons
in
disguises
slip
away
from
the
destruction
of
the
ruined
City
,
for
they
expected
no
less
.
The
Kings
Souldiers
and
Officers
are
by
express
Act
of
Parliament
,
prohibited
from
entring
into
Towns
,
Cities
,
and
Castles
:
they
are
to
be
repulsed
from
all
parts
,
as
Enemies
of
their
Country
.
A
Proclamation
is
put
out
.
That
none
should
relieve
the
Mazarinists
(
so
were
the
Royalists
called
)
with
Provision
,
Arms
,
or
other
Ammunition
:
or
if
any
should
presume
so
to
do
,
they
should
be
liable
to
the
same
punishment
as
Mazarine
.
An
unreconcileable
rage
of
malice
appeared
upon
this
turn
of
Fighting
or
Treating
.
A
few
days
passed
on
after
this
rate
,
still
remarkable
by
some
new
emergency
.
At
length
the
Thunder-clap
broke
over
the
head
of
Mazarine
.
,
He
is
voted
in
a
full
House
,
guilty
of
high
Treason
,
and
the
Disturber
of
the
publick
Peace
.
Every
Age
,
Condition
,
Sex
is
commanded
to
assault
,
shoot
,
or
stab
him
:
whoever
harboured
him
in
the
same
house
with
them
,
should
be
guilty
of
the
same
Crime
with
him
.
He
comforted
himself
in
the
conscience
of
his
Vertue
,
which
can
neither
deserve
disgrace
,
nor
it
was
should
happen
,
can
ever
be
overthrown
:
but
went
on
in
the
practice
of
his
former
gentleness
,
with
a
resolution
impaired
by
no
violence
:
always
so
putting
up
injuries
,
that
he
might
be
thought
not
to
have
resented
them
.
Never
did
courage
more
undauntedly
perform
her
part
,
then
in
that
,
the
heighth
of
his
Spirit
disowning
to
regard
affronts
,
nay
or
just
fears
.
I
am
certainly
informed
,
it
was
the
advice
of
some
,
that
four
or
five
of
the
prime
Ring-leaders
of
the
Faction
should
be
executed
:
and
when
they
were
taken
off
,
that
the
rest
would
fall
in
pieces
.
Mazarine
opposed
;
affirming
that
the
common
people
would
contend
more
earnestly
for
avenging
them
,
when
they
were
dead
,
than
to
advance
their
Honour
whilst
they
were
alive
.
Here
they
declare
in
a
great
Train
,
that
would
take
the
Parliaments
part
.
First
Elbaeuf
slips
from
the
Court
,
and
relying
on
his
three
Children
,
offers
the
Parliament
his
Service
:
not
without
good
hopes
,
as
he
gave
out
,
to
draw
the
Duke
of
Orleans
into
his
party
:
which
device
soon
after
came
to
nothing
.
Bouillon
,
laying
off
his
Mask
,
with
a
voice
pretending
to
truth
,
swears
to
be
at
the
Parliaments
devotion
,
presents
his
Wife
and
Children
as
Hostages
to
be
sureties
for
that
word
,
which
was
never
certain
.
So
much
could
Madame
de
Longueville
prevail
,
that
she
brought
over
to
the
Party
her
Brother
Conti
,
her
Husband
,
with
Rochefoucault
,
and
Mermont
,
though
to
her
great
danger
.
The
people
triumphed
in
mirth
for
the
coming
of
so
many
Grandees
.
The
Duke
of
Longueville
was
fretted
at
the
Honour
so
hastily
done
d'Elboeuf
in
the
Parliament
:
and
at
that
very
moment
,
thought
of
his
Government
of
Normandy
,
whither
he
retired
shortly
after
,
having
made
many
fair
offers
of
services
;
only
with
a
design
of
getting
somewhat
from
the
King
:
and
left
off
to
stickle
for
the
Faction
,
which
he
never
followed
with
any
earnestness
.
None
was
more
easily
drawn
to
take
up
a
Party
:
none
did
with
less
regret
lay
it
down
again
.
Beaufort
,
who
had
escaped
being
imprisoned
by
keeping
secret
,
rides
into
the
Town
on
Horseback
:
with
so
great
applause
,
that
the
common
People
run
along
by
his
side
,
as
once
they
flocked
after
the
Duke
of
Guise
.
Mareschal
de
la
Motte
,
either
through
the
instigation
of
the
Duke
of
Longueville
,
to
whom
he
was
much
obliged
;
or
through
the
memory
of
his
Imprisonment
at
Lyons
,
joyned
with
the
Faction
.
The
Archbishop
of
Corinth
was
more
powerful
than
any
of
them
in
Dependents
,
Authority
,
and
Eloquence
.
His
desigâ
was
to
render
himself
terrible
to
them
:
Elboeufs
to
rake
money
:
Bouillons
to
be
bought
off
to
the
Court-party
at
a
high
rate
:
Longuevilles
to
screâ
out
somewhat
,
though
never
so
small
:
Contys
nothing
but
to
comply
with
his
Sister
.
Rochefoucaââ
gaped
after
his
own
profit
,
without
having
beeâ
any
ways
disobliged
.
The
Dutchess
of
Longueville
followed
that
inclination
,
which
is
the
most
sweet
in
Nature
:
her
modesty
always
survived
her
affections
,
though
Fame
was
not
afraid
to
be
lye
her
;
which
she
afterwards
enjoyed
unstained
to
the
increasing
Honour
of
her
Posterity
.
Thus
past
on
a
few
days
.
Some
in
the
nature
of
Commissionerâ
came
from
the
one
and
the
other
side
forward
and
backward
to
treat
of
an
Accommodation
.
Again
troublesom
Contests
were
renewed
:
some
were
of
advice
,
that
the
War
should
be
soon
dispatched
;
others
,
that
the
Rebels
should
be
consumed
with
ăâă
longer
harassing
.
In
the
City
came
out
divers
Libels
against
Mazarine
.
In
the
Court
men
did
not
confute
those
reproaches
with
words
,
but
blows
.
The
face
of
preparations
on
both
sides
were
unequalled
matched
.
Here
were
a
throng
hudled
together
,
and
new-raised
Forces
.
All
full
of
confusion
,
mens
looks
either
fearing
or
designing
some
barbarous
attempt
.
Despair
hurried
them
into
resolutions
of
horrour
,
whilst
they
reflected
upon
the
obscurity
of
their
Souldiery
.
Far
other
was
the
appearance
of
the
Royal
Camp
.
Majesty
,
the
Cause
,
so
many
Princes
,
so
many
Dukes
Commanders
,
with
more
warrantable
Commissions
gained
reverence
.
Great
hopes
in
Conde
,
as
one
renowned
for
Martial
experience
,
and
not
inferiour
in
Wit
,
being
come
to
maturity
in
prudence
for
counsel
,
did
advance
the
reputation
of
the
Royal
Party
by
the
Excellency
of
his
Name
.
Intent
upon
every
imployment
,
even
the
meanest
,
laid
claim
to
nothing
of
his
high
Birth
,
but
his
Spirit
;
hazarding
his
person
for
the
publick
safety
.
The
Mutineers
thought
they
could
carry
all
with
more
ease
,
if
he
were
taken
off
,
or
withdrawn
.
His
Sister
the
Dutchess
of
Longueville
within
the
Town
,
was
as
active
and
couragious
as
her
Brother
in
the
opposite
part
.
She
renders
herself
in
the
Parliament
House
,
and
her
Boy
born
in
the
troubles
newly
dropt
into
the
world
,
as
pledges
of
her
faithfulness
.
Presently
restoring
a
countenance
to
the
party
,
which
her
pangs
,
whilst
she
was
in
labour
,
had
swallowed
up
.
The
Officers
and
common
Souldiers
stood
promiscuously
about
the
bed
where
she
lay
in
:
She
so
artificially
dispenses
her
smiles
and
glances
,
that
no
one
in
that
great
confluence
might
think
himself
neglected
or
disregarded
.
Their
spirits
broken
with
the
publick
Confusions
,
yet
did
not
desist
from
a
stubborn
defence
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Bastille
is
taken
by
,
the
Faction
upon
Surrender
.
De
Trambley
the
Governour
,
being
not
sorely
pressed
,
is
supposed
to
have
fought
as
one
that
was
not
desirous
of
Victory
.
Nothing
did
so
much
exasperate
their
spirits
,
as
the
lamentable
face
of
the
Country
about
Paris
,
depopulated
by
the
insolency
of
the
Souldiers
.
No
place
in
the
world
surpasseth
it
for
quality
.
A
sweet
Air
:
no
poysonous
Vermine
:
abundance
of
Springs
,
Rivers
,
and
Brooks
do
refresh
and
environ
it
.
The
Dog-days
do
not
scorch
it
with
drought
,
nor
the
Winter
nip
it
with
frost
,
but
the
juââ
ground
doth
enrich
the
Husband-man
with
a
plentiful
crop
.
It
is
a
great
relief
to
the
Inhabiters
of
that
fortunate
Isle
,
that
wherever
the
Palaces
and
Halls
leave
any
space
;
there
are
most
rich
pastures
,
well
stocked
and
wooded
.
This
Country
thus
fairly
planted
,
the
rude
Souldier
of
a
sudden
laid
wast
:
to
such
a
pass
did
discord
bring
the
poor
Citizens
.

When
will
the
common
People
grow

and
detest
all
counsels
of
disloyalty

In
the
mean
time
Normandy
was
of
no
small
moment
to
the
War
with
its
Governor
Longueville
who
,
although
he
did
ill
agree
with
the
ocher
Leaders
of
the
Faction
,
yet
had
at
that
time
no
small
interest
in
Rouen
,
and
all
over
that
Country
.
Harcourt
comes
there
to
take
possession
of
it
by
the
Kings
order
:
one
of
a
hasty
resolution
,
and
elevated
with
his
sudden
Commission
,
with
his
old
Troops
engaged
the
raw
and
forward
Bands
of
Longueville
without
success
;
so
much
were
all
incensed
against
Mazarine
.
Part
of
the
Parliament
of
Rouen
went
to
Vernon
upon
the
Seyne
;
part
tarried
without
regard
at
S.
Germans
,
waiting
for
the
Kings
Orders
;
the
remainder
dispersing
,
not
knowing
where
to
render
themselves
,
waited
to
see
the
issue
of
Affairs
,
[
The
Coast
of
Normandy
doth
for
the
generality
lie
upon
the
Ocean
.
There
is
great
abundance
of
pastures
and
fruit
:
and
so
rich
a
soil
,
ăâă
that
it
satisfies
both
its
Natives
and
Neighbours
:
and
much
more
would
it
satisfie
them
,
unless
they
were
immoderate
in
eating
,
and
such
were
the
condition
of
the
Clime
as
did
require
much
meat
.
A
flatulent
people
is
conceited
of
it self
,
as
if
it
fed
the
Imperial
City
,
and
had
the
famine
or
plenty
of
Paris
in
its
power
,
when
as
it
pays
indeed
tribute
rather
than
maintenance
,
and
doth
not
so
properly
keep
,
as
drudge
for
the
victorious
people
.
The
humor
of
the
Country
,
addicted
to
subtiliâties
,
which
take
up
the
Judgment-Hall
with
Law-suits
,
hath
there
a
great
door
open
to
the
Judges
Tribunal
.
A
people
cunning
to
draw
up
Instruments
,
and
at
every
case
that
is
actionable
.
He
that
hath
to
do
with
such
Creatures
,
had
need
have
his
Wits
about
him
.
They
compose
their
differences
by
Tryals
at
the
Bar
,
seldom
by
Duels
in
the
field
.
They
can
suit
their
industry
to
any
course
of
life
;
and
have
parts
not
transcendent
,
but
to
whatsoever
imployment
they
turn
themselves
indifferent
.
There
is
no
where
a
greater
readiness
to
put
up
injuries
,
so
they
may
be
secured
from
want
,
and
have
the
least
glimmering
hope
of
advantage
.
The
Nobility
burdened
with
numerous
Dependents
,
cannot
long
maintain
its
State
in
a-like
Equipage
;
therefore
it
is
greedy
after
Changes
,
but
such
as
may
prove
beneficial
.
The
Neighbourhood
of
tin
Court
renders
the
Normans
less
at
the
dispose
of
their
Governors
.
]
The
malignancy
of
the
time
over-reached
this
so
wary
people
.
But
what
Provinces
did
not
this
Comet
influence
?
The
Duke
of
Longueville
waited
in
suspense
till
by
some
ouvert
Declaration
,
he
might
distinguish
whether
they
were
addicted
to
the
King
,
or
the
other
Party
,
accordingly
to
shape
his
course
by
such
discovery
.
The
Court
between
Paris
and
Rouen
,
the
two
most
powerful
Cities
of
the
Kingdom
,
was
distressed
with
the
want
of
all
things
,
especially
of
money
;
the
Aids
coming
in
but
slowly
from
all
parts
.
Amidst
these
straights
,
nothing
did
so
much
tormeââ
Mazarine
as
the
dispositions
of
Orleans
and
Conâââ
The
former
not
brooking
delays
,
detested
the
stusbornness
of
the
War
,
which
he
had
supposed
wouââ
have
been
dispatched
in
few
days
.
This
other
wââ2
thought
to
have
flown
off
from
his
eagerness
ăâă
fighting
to
policy
,
and
that
which
is
the
most
ăâă
toward
of
all
Policies
,
to
dissemble
a
joy
and
loâ
of
those
matters
which
inwardly
did
most
offenâââ
him
.
Laigne
upon
the
Marne
is
taken
by
Persan
;
from
whence
that
fruitful
Country
of
Brye
is
infested
by
the
Inroads
of
the
Kings
Army
.
The
City
Militia
grew
every
day
more
unwilling
to
submit
to
orders
.
You
might
see
many
murmuring
with
a
slack
and
proud
carriage
,
and
the
violence
of
the
most
languishing
.
Thereupoâ
the
Archbishop
of
Corinth
gets
up
into
the
Pulpit
at
S.
Pauls
,
and
âaith
:
I
would
have
had
you
in
safety
;
I
would
have
had
you
victorious
;
and
the
goodness
of
the
Cause
had
acquitted
you
,
unless
your
repentance
and
tameness
did
plead
guilty
.
Then
having
inveighed
much
against
the
Government
and
Mazarine
,
he
cometh
down
out
of
the
Pulpit
:
having
put
off
his
Miter
and
Surplice
,
he
buckles
on
his
Armour
.
Often
he
sallied
out
of
Town
to
charge
the
Enemy
,
without
any
regard
to
his
Function
,
which
ought
to
have
been
imployed
in
peace-making
(
what
many
affirm
they
saw
,
I
do
not
)
spending
always
generously
,
and
for
the
most
part
profusely
upon
all
people
.
He
tired
his
own
and
other
mens
Estates
.
Rochefoucault
had
inveigled
the
mind
of
the
Dutchess
of
Longueville
with
higher
Enchantments
:
(
they
had
promised
to
run
all
Fortunes
together
.
)
The
Archbishop
of
Corinth
not
well
contented
to
be
a
Favourite
of
the
second
Rank
,
joyns
with
Beaufort
and
the
Slingers
.
For
the
Faction
had
more
than
one
Head
:
nor
was
it
informed
by
one
soul
.
It
is
certain
that
Madame
Longueville
and
Madame
Mombazon
,
bred
up
amongst
the
Weather-cocks
of
the
Court
,
were
not
only
admitted
to
be
of
their
Privy
Council
,
but
to
the
great
pleasure
of
Fortune
,
did
sway
the
minds
of
the
Commanders
.
Nothing
did
more
anger
the
Parisians
,
than
that
Corbeil
was
at
the
first
taken
from
them
by
Vxelles
coming
in
to
the
Kings
aid
with
the
Forces
of
Burgundy
.
Beaufort
,
Rochefoucault
,
and
Nermont
are
chosen
to
go
and
recover
the
Town
,
with
a
strong
Party
,
but
of
fresh
Souldiers
.
They
go
triumphing
out
of
Town
.
The
people
thronging
after
them
as
far
as
S.
Victors
,
wish
them
a
happy
Expedition
.
They
were
scarce
come
to
Irviz
,
four
miles
out
of
Town
:
but
they
begun
to
grow
weary
or
afraid
of
the
danger
.
Some
quit
their
Colours
;
some
lurk
in
holes
,
many
slink
away
secretly
.
These
halted
behind
their
fellow-Souldiers
;
others
drew
them
on
.
They
kept
neither
Rank
nor
File
,
but
straggled
all
abroad
.
Sometimes
they
went
to
the
City
,
the
farthest
way
about
;
anon
in
the
beaten
road
,
and
by
the
shortest
cuts
;
their
voices
surfeited
by
excess
;
and
the
hoarse
drunkenness
of
the
tippling
Rout
interrupted
the
Commanders
Orders
.
The
misgiving
mind
of
this
ill-trained
Militia
escaped
from
Conde
,
that
was
on
the
March
against
them
.
'T
is
believed
he
was
unwilling
to
cast
away
his
valour
in
an
unglorious
fight
,
with
so
many
drunken
men
;
and
to
stain
his
victory
with
the
baseness
of
the
Combatants
:
So
the
King
gained
a
prosperous
success
without
the
price
of
blood
.
Vitry
too
marched
out
upon
design
to
clear
the
Road
for
Convoys
of
Provision
:
and
having
in
his
March
home
,
engaged
a
Party
of
German
Horse
,
there
was
a
sharp
Encounter
at
Vincennes
.
In
that
fight
Tangred
was
slain
.
Marguerite
Bethune
gave
him
out
to
have
been
the
Son
of
her
Husband
Henry
Duke
of
Rohan
:
being
in
truth
angry
with
her
Daughter
for
marrying
Chabot
against
her
consent
,
That
Marguerite
was
his
Mother
,
is
without
controversie
:
who
was
his
Father
,
is
not
very
cleâââ
.
But
certain
it
is
,
that
the
Duke
of
Rohan
would
never
hear
of
any
such
Issue
.
The
doubtful
Child
lay
a
long
time
secret
,
having
had
a
base
breeding
among
the
Hollanders
.
Kept
to
Plow
and
Cart
,
from
whence
of
a
sudden
he
is
put
into
publick
Imployment
.
Being
but
eighteen
years
old
,
he
had
a
portly
and
graceful
carriage
of
his
whole
body
:
a
sprightful
mind
,
comely
look
,
and
suitable
disposition
.
That
business
so
cleanly
carried
,
was
for
a
long
time
the
subject
of
common
discourse
:
when
in
good
time
these
Civil
disorders
broke
out
,
and
offered
the
poor
Wretch
a
fair
opportunity
of
perishing
handsomly
.
His
Mother
touched
in
conscience
and
affection
,
admired
his
Person
,
all
hiâ
actions
,
and
his
very
death
,
thinking
without
doubt
,
to
perpetuate
the
Renown
of
her
Husbanâ
by
so
great
a
Progeny
.
The
Kings
Army
greââ
wanton
,
would
not
do
duty
,
fell
a
plundering
anâ
pillaging
:
waxed
dissolute
for
want
of
being
pââ
on
Service
.
It
is
resolved
to
assault
Charenton
,
and
wrest
so
advantagious
a
Post
from
the
City
.
Clanleil
kept
with
a
choice
Garrison
for
the
Parliament
that
Town
that
hath
a
Bridge
over
the
Marn
.
Orleans
led
the
Troops
to
S.
Denis
,
where
it
is
concluded
in
a
Counsel
of
War
to
storm
the
Town
.
Conde
was
Commander
in
chief
for
the
Expedition
:
Chastillon
Lieutenant
general
makes
the
Onset
.
They
cut
their
way
out
by
the
Sword
.
The
Kings
Army
break
through
the
Barricadoes
,
that
were
but
hastily
set
up
.
Chastillon
carrieth
the
Town
by
on
slacht
,
purchased
at
the
price
of
his
own
blood
;
for
he
was
mortally
shot
,
and
fell
rather
after
the
Fate
of
his
Family
,
than
his
own
particular
Fortune
,
in
whom
the
Issue
by
the
right
Line
of
the
great
Gaspar
Colligny
was
extinct
,
and
all
the
remaining
blood
of
so
great
a
Heroe
shed
.
Clanleil
would
not
surrender
,
but
refused
to
receive
quarter
,
and
redeem
life
at
the
loss
of
liberty
.
The
Paris
Troops
drew
up
without
the
Port
of
S.
Anthoine
in
an
idle
Bravado
.
Conde
did
not
think
fit
then
to
fall
upon
them
;
but
having
secured
Charenton
with
a
Garrison
,
drew
off
.
Two
days
after
Beaufort
and
Marsillac
go
out
with
a
strong
Party
to
regain
the
Town
.
They
are
presently
commanded
another
way
to
succour
Noirmont
,
convoying
Provisions
,
whom
Grammont
did
disturb
upon
the
Rear
.
He
was
come
as
far
as
Vitry
,
not
in
the
high
Road
,
but
by
Lanes
,
over
Commons
and
Vineyards
.
There
was
a
sharp
Encounter
of
both
Parties
fighting
stoutly
:
but
upon
the
coming
in
of
la
Motte
,
who
was
not
far
off
,
Grammont
returned
to
S.
Clouds
,
having
rifled
part
of
the
Convoy
.
When
word
was
brought
to
Paris
of
Beauforts
danger
,
the
whole
City
run
out
at
the
Gates
to
meet
him
,
the
minds
of
the
Commons
being
transported
,
either
with
fear
of
their
hazard
,
or
down-right
phrens
âȘ
Since
the
times
of
the
Guises
,
the
affections
of
the
Populace
have
not
been
more
violently
carried
forth
upon
any
other
.
Again
the
Parliament
writeth
to
Plessis
Guenegault
,
the
Kings
Secretary
and
Register
of
the
Council
,
a
Letter
containing
and
moâ
virulent
Libel
against
Mazarine
.
The
substance
of
it
,
was
as
of
the
rest
:
that
they
were
ready
to
obey
his
Majesty
,
so
that
Mazarine
might
be
removed
ăâă
brought
to
Tryal
.
That
his
power
was
unsufferable
:
he
did
alienate
the
affections
of
the
King
from
the
welfare
of
his
Subjects
.
All
things
must
be
managed
at
his
will
and
pleasure
.
That
the
publick
Revenâââ
raised
by
whatever
difficulties
,
were
interverted
to
ăâă
private
and
particular
occasions
;
and
what
meanâ
had
been
designed
by
the
cares
of
our
Ancestors
fââ
supporting
the
common
safety
and
honour
,
were
by
a
sad
miscarriage
lavished
out
upon
certain
persons
thâ
cannot
yet
lose
the
memory
of
their
former
obscurity
and
the
apprehensions
,
left
themselves
or
their
Heiââ
should
again
relapse
into
it
.
That
a
new
broad
ăâă
Nephews
is
every
day
expected
from
Rome
to
be
obtruded
upon
us
,
and
their
insatiable
avarice
and
ambition
crammed
at
the
publick
Charge
.
That
the
Prince
was
captivated
and
abused
by
their
Enchantments
,
to
injure
himself
and
Subjects
with
a
destructive
indulgence
and
immoderate
profuseness
.
But
yââ
so
vigorous
a
Reverence
the
French
had
toward
Majâââ
imprinted
in
them
;
That
the
very
Cradles
of
such
ăâă
were
born
to
the
Crown
,
did
strike
an
awe
into
thââ
with
a
secret
instinct
,
and
they
never
presumed
to
withdraw
their
Allegiance
from
them
.
That
Mazarine
,
to
lay
the
grounds
of
his
tyrannical
Vsurpation
,
did
form
the
young
Kings
mind
according
to
his
own
:
and
disposed
the
affections
of
his
Majesty
,
without
any
regard
to
Persons
of
Merit
,
towards
his
own
Creatures
;
thinking
himself
a
loser
,
as
often
as
any
besides
himself
or
his
Partisans
,
had
any
gift
bestowed
upon
him
by
the
Royal
Bounty
.
That
the
Queen
being
deceived
by
the
false
Vertues
,
or
the
glittering
Vices
of
him
,
did
certainly
,
not
indeed
destine
the
wealthiest
Citizens
to
her
present
passion
,
but
like
Victimes
,
reserve
them
to
a
more
safe
vengeance
.
These
and
suck
like
expressions
the
Paper
contained
,
pretending
to
be
sent
by
the
whole
Parliament
,
whose
sounder
part
complied
with
the
Mutineers
,
not
so
much
through
their
own
disaffection
,
as
the
malignancy
of
the
Times
.
But
those
who
did
obstinately
carry
on
the
Faction
among
the
people
,
were
either
such
as
knew
in
their
own
conscience
,
that
they
were
guilty
of
some
other
Crimes
,
besides
the
villany
of
the
Civil
War
,
[
and
so
lent
that
breath
to
the
Tumult
,
which
of
right
belonged
to
the
Halter
:
]
or
such
whose
indigence
feared
to
beg
in
peace
,
and
lived
upon
the
Troubles
of
the
State
.
Many
were
led
aside
by
their
own
simplicity
and
easiness
of
belief
,
who
,
when
the
Visors
were
thrown
off
,
were
not
a
little
troubled
,
how
they
might
come
about
again
to
be
honest
;
the
truth
of
their
Leaders
growing
every
day
more
suspected
:
and
new
Forces
drawing
from
all
parts
into
the
Kings
Camp
.
So
soon
as
ever
Mazarine
perceived
,
(
for
no
disposition
was
naturally
more
averse
to
cruelty
)
that
the
poor
City
might
be
pardoned
without
any
dangerous
president
of
remissness
,
he
was
of
advice
that
the
opportunity
should
be
laid
hold
of
,
whilst
the
King
on
every
side
victorious
,
having
disarmed
the
Rebellion
by
the
blood
of
a
few
,
might
in
consistence
with
his
Royal
Honour
,
make
the
Peace
of
his
Subjects
his
own
gift
.
It
was
resolved
to
send
a
Herald
with
Letters
to
the
Parliament
,
the
Provost
of
the
Merchants
?
and
Conti
,
who
were
promised
an
Act
of
Oblivion
for
their
past
miscarriages
,
so
they
would
come
to
ask
the
King
pardon
within
four
days
.
This
was
the
first
light
that
sprung
towards
the
quiet
of
the
State
,
which
by
what
steps
it
advanced
,
and
at
length
arrived
to
a
full
Peace
,
I
shall
discourse
in
short
.
The
Herald
is
not
admitted
into
the
Town
,
but
having
laid
down
his
Packet
Of
Letters
upon
a
Turn-Pike
in
the
Suburb
of
S.
Honoré
,
went
back
again
.
The
Parliament
proceeds
slowly
,
and
holding
a
long
and
uncertain
consideration
,
at
length
concludeth
that
the
present
opportunity
of
Accommodation
should
be
embraced
Thereupon
they
request
from
the
Chancellor
and
Tellier
Pass-ports
for
the
Kings
Sollicitor
and
Counsel
,
to
go
safely
to
the
Court
,
and
give
the
Queen
satisfaction
,
why
the
Herald
was
not
permitted
entrance
into
the
city
.
But
lest
,
whilst
these
Tendencies
to
Peace
proceeded
so
fairly
the
City
should
be
distressed
for
want
of
provision
,
Marsillac
goes
to
meet
Noirmont
,
convoying
store
of
provisions
from
the
Country
of
Brye
.
Granzy
,
under
whose
Command
the
Kings
Troops
were
that
lay
quartered
at
Laigne
,
and
in
that
Country
,
prepares
to
fall
upon
Noirmont
.
He
wisely
taking
advantage
of
the
ground
,
avoided
engaging
.
The
storm
discharged
if
self
upon
Marsillac
,
marching
along
the
Champagne
.
But
the
Mechanick
Militia
making
faint
resistance
against
the
tryed
,
that
is
,
veterane
Royal
Army
,
suddenly
disperseth
.
Marsillac
wounded
,
and
hardly
brought
off
,
is
carried
to
Paris
half
dead
,
having
received
wounds
more
than
enough
quite
to
dispatch
him
.
After
safe
conduct
received
,
Talon
,
Melian
,
and
Bignon
go
for
S.
Germans
with
this
instruction
,
not
rashly
to
obstruct
the
Overtures
of
Peace
now
made
.
The
King
and
Queen
sate
in
the
middle
:
the
chiefest
of
the
Princes
and
Nobles
on
either
side
.
After
that
those
three
Commoners
,
in
nature
of
Commisioners
,
had
with
due
Applications
,
and
decent
Behaviour
testified
their
respect
to
the
Assembly
,
and
with
a
first
and
second
Reverence
to
the
King
and
Queen
Mother
,
then
a
little
advancing
,
had
bowed
low
.
When
they
were
come
within
competent
distance
,
the
Queen
gave
significations
of
her
favourable
Reception
of
them
.
When
Talon
thus
began
.
It
hath
been
long
since
,
Madam
,
the
top
of
our
desires
to
lye
prostrate
at
your
feet
.
Vnder
your
Regency
France
is
the
most
happy
of
all
Nations
.
Towards
Subjects
dejected
and
obnoxious
to
your
Justice
,
extend
mercy
.
The
only
look
of
your
Majesty
is
able
to
take
vengeance
on
them
being
penitent
.
We
are
not
afraid
of
falling
under
the
suspicion
to
have
been
debauched
from
our
Allegiance
,
although
your
people
,
having
been
harassed
by
the
oppression
of
some
bad
Officers
hath
foolishly
endeavoured
to
vent
their
passions
upon
their
King
and
Country
.
For
the
pardon
of
their
past
licence
your
City
will
acquiesce
in
your
Royal
Word
,
and
judge
it self
safe
in
that
as
in
a
Garrisn
.
Our
obedience
,
whensoever
you
but
please
,
you
may
command
.
This
boldness
secured
by
your
Parole
,
will
be
no
more
invited
to
transgress
by
the
taking
up
of
Arms.
Your
Majesty
sent
us
a
Herald
to
try
our
Allegiance
and
honesty
.
That
we
sent
him
back
without
Audience
,
must
be
imputed
to
our
Reverence
,
not
obstinacy
.
We
had
not
so
far
forgot
our selves
,
as
to
stand
upon
even
terms
with
our
Liege
and
Lord
.
Soveraign
Powers
send
and
receive
Heralds
one
from
the
other
.
If
you
range
us
in
co-ordination
with
them
,
we
have
reason
to
desire
herein
to
be
excused
and
disclaim
an
Honour
above
our
Rank
,
affecting
only
the
glory
of
Loyality
,
and
having
no
higher
pretences
than
of
being
dutiful
.
If
we
have
done
amiss
,
we
submit
,
condemn
us
to
what
punishment
you
please
:
we
are
ready
to
undergo
it
,
as
sensible
to
have
deserved
it
.
When
he
had
done
speaking
,
the
Queen
,
softned
with
such
Language
,
answered
,
They
should
find
none
more
dear
to
her
than
such
as
did
heartily
repent
:
and
this
the
issue
should
demonstrate
.
In
the
mean
time
they
were
referred
to
hear
her
farther
pleasure
from
the
Chancellor
.
He
discoursed
much
and
pertinently
;
bewailed
the
misfortunes
of
the
people
:
yet
they
must
look
to
it
,
that
there
never
be
occasion
given
to
repent
of
the
favour
in
chastising
the
Faction
,
rather
by
Law
than
the
Sword
.
In
conclusion
,
he
did
not
incense
the
Queen
,
but
disposed
her
to
mercy
.
Afterwards
the
door
was
opened
,
and
they
were
carried
to
a
place
of
feasting
,
and
made
very
welcome
.
Orleans
and
Conde
seemed
earnestly
to
advise
them
to
render
themselves
to
the
Queens
mercy
,
from
whom
they
might
promise
themselves
any
thing
.
They
returned
to
Paris
with
better
success
than
they
expected
.
Leopoldus
Arch-Duke
of
Austria
,
was
then
Governour
in
chief
over
the
Low-Countries
,
not
without
secret
instructions
to
have
an
eye
over
the
French
Tumults
.
[
That
is
the
Spaniards
old
custom
to
look
always
obliquely
upon
our
prosperity
,
and
to
rejoyce
at
our
misfortunes
.
]
One
Arnolfin
is
sent
from
Leopoldus
express
with
Letters
to
the
Parliament
and
Conti
;
which
he
first
discharged
himself
of
,
in
the
house
of
Elbaoeuf
.
(
The
Prince
being
scarce
full
eighteen
,
had
neither
hatred
nor
love
but
such
as
were
suggested
to
him
by
his
Sister
and
Marsillac
,
such
then
was
his
Junta
,
by
whose
instigations
Noirmont
and
Legué
were
dispatched
to
the
Arch-Duke
.
)
Leopoldus
promised
to
send
Forces
to
relieve
Paris
,
so
that
some
fortified
Town
or
Castle
of
ours
,
upon
the
Frontiers
,
might
be
put
into
his
hands
for
Caution
.
This
discovered
that
the
Spaniards
have
not
yet
left
their
old
Arts.
Such
was
the
madness
of
some
,
that
they
did
impudently
advise
it
as
reasonable
to
be
done
.
The
more
judicious
were
utterly
against
it
.
There
was
in
company
with
Leopoldus
,
when
they
entred
France
,
Lewis
Trimonille
Noirmont
carried
away
by
the
stream
of
the
Faction
,
rather
through
his
Fate
,
than
any
inclination
he
had
to
the
Party
from
which
he
was
so
averse
,
that
he
trembled
at
the
Enemies
entrance
,
and
went
as
Quarter-master
before
,
more
to
warn
the
people
to
save
their
Cattel
and
Goods
from
plunder
,
than
any
design
to
farther
the
Invasion
of
the
Spaniard
:
yet
for
this
he
was
attainted
,
and
innocent
man
,
suffered
.
When
as
with
the
sole
memory
of
the
Battel
at
Lentz
,
where
being
forced
upon
disadvantage
of
ground
,
and
the
charge
of
the
whole
Enemies
Battalia
to
retreat
,
at
the
,
passâââ
over
a
Brook
that
lay
between
,
when
he
was
joyne
with
Conde
,
did
such
excellent
Service
,
as
might
easily
erase
what
he
did
after
,
which
swerved
from
Allegiance
to
the
King
.
Arnolsin
desires
to
be
admitted
to
the
Parliament
;
and
what
was
to
be
admired
,
or
detested
rather
,
he
was
admitted
:
anâ
presented
the
Arch-Dukes
Letters
to
so
venerablâ
an
Assembly
,
making
brave
and
great
promises
iâ
Leopoldus
his
Name
.
It
has
hardly
been
known
âȘ
that
any
matter
was
more
nicely
scanned
Aâ
length
the
well-affected
Party
reclaimed
the
seduced
Members
to
better
courses
.
They
scattered
the
mist
of
Errour
,
and
pierced
the
Spanish
Artifices
and
subtile
Designs
;
and
resolved
it
is
upon
the
question
,
that
in
all
cases
the
Spaniard
be
suspected
though
he
bring
Presents
.
The
Parliament
of
Paris
neither
wrought
off
by
the
vain
preparation
of
the
Commanders
,
nor
the
promises
of
the
Spaniards
,
chuse
certain
Commissioners
to
send
to
the
King
and
Queen
,
their
prime
President
Mole
,
Meâmius
,
and
Violet
,
with
the
chiefest
of
their
Members
for
honesty
and
experience
.
About
the
same
time
,
what
I
must
not
pass
over
in
silence
,
the
pestilent
Star
of
Rebellion
did
influence
England
with
the
like
Contagion
,
which
forgetting
its
Allegiance
and
Interest
,
and
breaking
in
upon
the
Sacred
and
Venerable
Presence
of
Majesty
,
did
not
spare
its
own
natural
and
lawful
King
Charles
held
his
Kingdom
by
Succession
from
his
Father
.
A
Prince
of
a
most
mild
temper
,
nor
moved
with
necessary
severity
against
Offenders
.
Not
naturally
much
addicted
to
business
,
as
diverted
perchance
,
by
the
security
of
a
long
Peace
,
intrusted
Himself
and
his
Estate
to
some
imfaithful
Counselâors
.
From
whence
were
all
the
mischiefs
occasioned
which
befel
that
Best
King
,
to
the
particular
Odium
and
Infamy
,
principally
of
Cromwell
,
who
taking
advantage
of
Charles
his
temper
,
and
of
the
weaknesses
and
errours
in
the
Government
,
poysons
and
corrupts
all
the
parts
of
the
Kingdom
.
Hereupon
Phrensie
and
Ambition
take
up
Arms
against
the
King
,
and
when
he
was
brought
low
,
lay
violent
hands
upon
him
.
The
King
awakned
too
late
,
began
to
assert
his
Honour
and
Cause
,
but
was
now
debarred
of
his
Liberty
;
a
Prince
for
Gallanty
of
Spirit
inferior
to
no
King
;
and
that
could
not
have
been
over-reached
but
by
his
excess
of
Goodness
;
was
driven
by
the
Villany
of
others
to
exert
his
own
Vertues
.
Cromwell
,
a
Person
bold
,
and
of
a
deep
reach
,
that
had
fair
words
at
will
to
carry
on
his
own
designs
,
second
to
no
man
living
in
Cruelty
and
Pride
,
whensoever
he
might
exercise
it
with
safety
:
at
length
went
so
far
,
whether
by
Fate
,
or
the
corruption
of
the
Times
,
that
upon
the
Scaffold
(
as
is
notorious
to
all
)
King
Charles
in
a
pretended
form
of
Law
,
by
Sentence
of
a
High
Court
of
Justice
,
in
the
view
of
his
Subjects
,
had
his
Head
cut
off
,
by
the
wicked
hand
of
the
Hangman
.
Thus
much
by
the
by
,
because
I
have
already
hinted
it
in
the
former
Book
:
there
will
be
elsewhere
a
fitter
place
to
dilate
upon
Cromwell
,
who
yet
reaking
with
the
blood
of
his
Soveraign
,
soon
after
invaded
his
Throne
.
The
storm
seemed
now
to
allay
at
Paris
,
when
in
these
condescensions
an
Accident
about
Thurenne
had
well-nigh
disturbed
the
Treaty
of
Peace
.
He
was
chief
Commander
in
Alsatia
,
over
an
Army
compounded
partly
of
French
,
but
principally
of
ăâă
veterane
Band
of
Germans
.
He
being
summonel
by
divers
Letters
of
the
King
,
frames
dilatory
Excuses
,
then
apparently
prolonges
time
in
slow
Marches
,
not
without
ground
judging
that
to
what
side
soever
he
should
take
,
he
would
turn
the
scale
ăâă
that
side
.
De
Bouillon
,
upon
disgust
for
the
loss
of
Sedan
,
gave
his
Brother
evil
counsel
.
Thurenâââ
that
had
so
often
deserved
great
matters
,
did
perhaps
not
untruly
complain
,
that
performances
had
not
come
up
to
promises
.
Mazarine
was
aware
of
Thurennes
disaffection
;
therefore
he
sends
into
his
Camp
Harwald
that
should
pay
the
Germans
,
and
separate
them
to
his
Majesties
Service
.
Those
of
that
Nation
being
unacquainted
with
fraud
,
preferred
solid
and
massive
honour
before
vain
and
uncertain
fancies
.
So
Thurenne
being
deserted
by
his
Army
,
scarcely
escaped
with
his
life
,
discomposed
with
the
ill
success
of
his
undertakings
.
Hereupon
turning
aside
into
by-ways
,
with
a
small
Retinue
,
he
bore
the
punishment
of
his
indigested
Plot.
One
that
was
afterwards
to
countervail
a
small
miscarriage
gloriously
with
so
many
gallant
Actions
;
Often
happy
,
always
brave
.
The
Troops
were
anew
sworn
to
obey
the
King
,
and
intrusted
to
the
Conduct
of
Rosa
.
Kantzow
an
Holsteiner
,
that
is
next
door
to
ăâă
Dane
,
having
through
all
the
steps
of
military
Preferment
,
gotten
also
the
dignity
of
being
Marescha
of
France
(
which
is
rare
for
a
Stranger
)
then
Governor
of
the
Town
and
Fort
of
Dunkirk
(
as
hath
been
already
specified
)
a
huge
Argument
of
Trust
,
is
believed
,
upon
occasion
of
these
Troubles
,
to
have
held
Intelligence
with
the
Spaniard
,
to
the
rendering
his
ears
nocent
,
but
with
a
mind
impenetrable
to
revolt
.
In
his
drink
he
poured
out
many
expressions
,
especially
against
Conde
,
whom
he
believed
not
without
reason
to
bear
a
Pique
against
him
.
This
was
the
cause
of
Rantzows
disgrace
.
For
Conude
taking
hold
of
the
occasion
,
thrust
the
Dane
headlong
:
who
being
called
,
presently
cometh
before
the
King
,
without
indenting
before-hand
,
confident
because
he
was
not
conscious
to
himself
of
any
crime
.
He
was
conveyed
to
the
Prison
at
Vincennes
,
where
he
contracted
an
incurable
disease
through
Melancholy
and
fretting
;
so
that
well-nigh
all
his
limbs
cut
off
by
the
Chirurgion
.
The
Trunk
of
his
Carcass
had
more
generous
indignation
,
than
the
entire
bodies
of
many
.
His
Wife
cherishing
her
grief
,
instead
of
an
Husband
,
takes
pleasure
in
her-tears
,
and
sustains
the
want
of
her
Lord
by
laudable
comforts
,
setting
an
Example
of
Honour
and
Constancy
.
At
S.
Germans
the
principal
Lords
of
the
Kings
Council
did
earnestly
treat
of
Peace
with
the
Parliaments
Commissioners
.
Mazarine
being
excluded
,
as
already
pre-condemned
by
publick
Acts
;
some
Courtiers
most
violently
drawing
that
way
,
that
they
might
engross
to
themselves
the
Honour
of
having
procured
the
Quiet
of
the
State
.
The
Queen
opposed
it
strongly
;
and
at
length
when
he
was
taken
in
,
March
11.
1649.
the
Articles
were
agreed
to
the
great
content
and
joy
of
the
common
People
:
That
an
Act
of
Oblivion
for
past
miscarriages
be
made
:
That
all
things
be
restored
to
their
former
estate
:
That
the
King
be
brought
home
again
to
Paris
:
Taxes
diminished
:
a
Treaty
of
Peace
with
the
Spaniard
consented
to
;
and
some
Member
of
the
House
,
worshipful
for
Age
and
Experience
,
of
the
principal
ones
,
be
joyned
in
the
Transaction
,
to
see
it
concluded
upon
good
and
firm
Terms
.
The
other
Particulars
,
the
Reader
that
is
curious
of
such
matter
may
extract
out
of
the
Publick
Journals
.
So
the
present
Tumult
being
composed
almost
without
blood-shed
,
the
Parliament-men
returned
into
the
City
joyful
,
as
if
through
their
Dignity
and
Policy
they
had
made
the
Conditions
better
to
be
gained
âȘ
Certain
it
is
,
that
those
Articles
were
dishonourable
to
the
King
,
who
being
ready
by
force
of
Arms
to
dispatch
that
Hydra
,
yielded
to
it
,
after
it
was
laiâ
flat
,
those
Concessions
,
which
it
would
have
despaired
to
obtain
,
when
it
was
strong
and
erect
But
that
any
fair
issue
was
put
ro
the
business
,
muââ
be
imputed
to
the
Policy
of
Mazarine
,
that
perceived
all
was
unsound
in
the
great
Courtiers
;
and
could
not
set
bounds
to
the
Ambition
of
Conde

The

ALL
that
time
,
which
immediately
followed
the
Pacification
agreed
on
at
S.
Germans
,
was
disquieted
with
divers
Attempts
of
stirring
up
Faction
:
and
such
was
the
state
of
the
City
,
as
seemâ
rather
no
War
,
than
any
Peace
.
There
was
indeeâ
no
fighting
,
no
plundering
,
no
firing
of
Town
âȘ
All
things
were
carried
without
effusion
of
blood
yet
not
with
a
hearty
composure
of
affections
.
The
City
had
more
plentiful
supply
of
provision
,
anâ
every
one
was
delivered
from
fear
of
an
immineââ
Famine
.
But
the
minds
of
men
were
observed
ăâă
stand
diversly
affected
,
according
to
their
severââ
Interests
:
and
the
inconveniences
of
War
broke
out
,
though
not
in
ouvert
Action
,
yet
by
covert
designs
.
Conde
,
although
he
were
discovered
by
many
pregnant
presumptions
,
and
were
looked
upon
generally
,
and
discoursed
of
,
as
inclining
to
disaffected
party
,
yet
continued
to
bear
as
formerly
ăâă
seeming
respect
towards
Mazarine
.
Beaufort
,
the
Head
of
the
Slingers
in
the
Town
,
delighted
in
the
popular
Applause
.
The
Duke
of
Vendosme
,
and
Mercoeur
his
eldest
Son
,
being
tired
out
with
trouble
that
had
lain
long
and
heavy
upon
them
,
avowedly
courted
the
Favour
and
Alliance
of
Mazarine
,
as
the
only
remedy
of
their
distressed
estate
.
The
Dutchess
of
Mancini
his
Niece
,
occasioned
this
disturbance
,
whilst
some
were
for
the
matching
her
with
Mercoeur
,
others
drew
against
it
.
From
hence
came
that
seed
,
which
afterwards
grew
into
a
plentiful
crop
of
troubles
.
Mazarine
perceiving
the
affections
of
all
Parties
so
unsound
towards
him
was
resolved
to
confirm
his
interest
by
some
potent
Alliance
;
and
that
the
rather
,
because
the
Queens
pleasure
stood
that
way
inclined
.
Here
it
was
judged
fit
to
advance
in
Offices
and
Wealth
Mercoeur
,
that
first
offered
himself
,
being
of
the
Blood
Royal.
The
Queen
was
at
the
present
inverted
in
the
Admiralty
,
ever
since
the
death
of
Breze
,
for
the
avoiding
of
quarrels
between
the
Competitors
.
She
is
content
to
devest
her self
of
that
,
in
favour
of
the
Match
;
whether
the
charge
were
bestowed
on
Vendosme
,
or
his
Son
Mercoeur
.
Beaufort
the
more
to
endear
himself
to
the
people
,
decrys
the
purpose
of
both
the
Father
,
and
his
eldest
Son
:
the
Father
was
glad
that
he
had
a
double
support
in
his
two
Sons
.
The
Abbot
de
la
Rivieres
prevailed
upon
Orleans
to
give
his
consent
to
the
Match
;
whereupon
Mazarine
carrieth
it
on
with
the
confidence
;
supposing
too
that
he
had
been
sure
of
Conde
.
For
he
apprehended
,
that
without
asking
his
consent
,
much
less
in
despight
of
him
,
he
might
not
once
aspire
to
that
Match
with
young
Mercoeur
:
nay
,
without
Beansorts
consent
,
he
refused
to
proceed
any
farther
,
that
so
he
might
curb
his
youthful
spirits
apt
to
flye
out
,
and
might
carry
off
from
the
Mutineers
one
of
their
great
Supporters
.
He
had
no
other
design
in
matching
his
Nieces
,
but
that
of
the
French
:
and
did
it
more
to
advance
the
publick
Peace
,
than
his
private
Fortunes
;
since
he
might
have
had
better
offers
at
Rome
,
or
in
Italy
,
than
in
France
.
Conde
did
for
some
time
demur
before
he
would
openly
declare
his
Judgment
.
Not
a
few
persons
,
rather
imported
by
their
own
passions
,
than
tender
of
the
Princes
Honour
,
did
spur
him
on
day
and
night
,
advising
him
not
to
let
Fortune
,
which
now
offered
it self
so
fairly
to
him
,
slip
out
of
his
hands
,
and
had
rather
have
all
things
again
thrown
into
confusion
,
than
that
he
should
rest
satisfied
in
an
offer
of
certain
quietness
:
nor
were
there
Flatterers
wanting
,
who
would
have
pushed
his
generous
mind
and
spirit
,
raised
up
in
expectation
of
great
preferment
,
but
unwary
of
bad
Artifices
,
to
pursue
fairer
hopes
.
The
general
distant
of
Mazarine
,
and
indignation
of
being
enthralled
to
a
Foreigners
Usurpation
,
got
him
many
friends
The
Duke
de
Bouillon
and
Chavigny
were
the
chief
:
the
former
immensely
greedy
after
a
Change
,
that
at
last
he
might
find
some
opportunity
by
our
Troubles
,
to
recover
his
Town
of
Sedan
.
The
latter
not
being
able
to
bear
with
any
patience
the
loss
of
his
Greatness
,
and
his
being
turned
out
of
Favouâ
.
Conde
having
been
long
divided
in
his
thoughts
,
at
length
thus
resolves
to
fall
upon
Mazarine
;
to
affront
him
,
above
board
,
and
no
longer
under-hand
to
thwart
him
.
That
was
the
first
day
of
our
calamity
;
that
the
last
of
the
French
concord
.
Glaâ
was
the
Sling
at
Condes
falling
off
,
by
the
Treachery
of
which
,
he
was
afterwards
scornfully
cast
into
prison
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Spaniards
assault
S.
Venant
and
Ypres
;
whereupon
it
is
resolved
that
the
Court
should
leave
S.
Germans
,
and
go
to
Coâpingne
,
that
so
they
might
at
less
distance
discover
the
Enemies
designs
,
and
be
nearer
to
obviate
them
Paris
that
is
never
pleased
,
complains
that
they
had
carried
away
the
King
.
From
that
occasion
reproaches
are
thrown
upon
Mazarine
,
and
Libelâ
without
end
.
It
was
judged
fit
to
dispatch
Orleans
about
the
beginning
of
June
,
to
heal
the
discontents
of
the
people
.
The
Provost
des
Marchandâ
with
the
assistance
of
some
grave
Citizens
,
restrain
the
licentiousness
of
so
many
dangerous
Pamphlets
Orleans
is
most
instantly
requested
,
that
his
Majesty
might
be
induced
to
return
with
all
convenient
speed
to
his
Capital
City
,
that
this
Article
was
of
indispensable
necessity
to
preserve
the
publick
quiet
,
and
the
earnest
prayer
of
all
the
honest
party
.
Mazarine
could
not
digest
that
his
Majesty
should
abide
there
,
where
at
the
turning
of
the
tide
,
the
waves
of
the
late
Sedition
did
yet
roll
.
At
that
time
Mareschal
d'Hoquincourt
,
under
colour
that
a
Plot
had
been
laid
for
him
in
the
Camp
,
of
a
sudden
withdraws
himself
from
the
imminent
danger
,
as
he
pretended
;
and
keeping
close
within
Peronne
,
gave
some
umbrage
,
as
though
he
had
been
wavering
.
Mazarine
had
thoughts
of
the
Government
of
Picardy
;
but
whether
he
could
not
agree
with
d'Elboeuf
about
the
price
,
or
whether
he
were
uncertain
of
gaining
himself
the
fortified
Towns
in
that
Country
,
waving
that
intention
,
he
thought
upon
some
others
.
Now
such
a
value
he
had
for
Hoquincourt
,
that
he
declared
himself
to
have
an
ambition
for
his
friendship
.
Both
on
a
certain
day
meet
at
an
appointed
place
:
and
as
if
they
had
been
to
engage
in
a
Duel
,
are
both
attended
with
an
equal
number
of
Souldiers
.
There
were
strict
Articles
agreed
on
,
which
held
for
some
time
,
but
afterwards
the
agreement
broke
,
and
they
fell
into
extreme
dissensions
.
During
this
time
the
Army
growing
soft
by
disuse
of
Action
,
and
pillaging
the
Country
where
it
lay
idle
,
it
was
resolved
speedily
to
put
them
upon
some
considerable
imployment
;
to
the
end
both
of
giving
the
Enemy
terrour
,
and
getting
them
reputation
amidst
the
Rebels
.
The
Kings
Counsel
were
divided
about
the
matter
of
the
Expedition
.
Some
advised
Doway
;
others
Aviennes
.
Mazarine
pressed
that
Cambray
rather
than
any
should
be
attaqued
,
having
at
that
time
but
500
men
in
Garrison
,
as
certain
information
had
been
brought
.
It
is
a
Frontier
Town
upon
the
Border
of
France
,
heretofore
in
a
manner
a
Free-State
,
but
Homager
to
the
Empire
;
ruled
by
its
Archbishop
,
under
certain
Laws
:
standing
on
the
right
side
of
the
Scaldy
or
Escault
.
A
City
eyed
jealously
,
as
being
of
great
moment
to
which
side
soever
it
belongs
.
The
Generalship
is
proffered
to
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
upon
his
refusal
Harcourt
accepts
it
:
who
beleaguers
Cambray
,
but
without
any
effect
;
for
upon
the
conveying
in
of
succours
,
one
night
in
a
fog
by
the
negligence
of
the
Sentinels
,
the
Siege
was
raised
before
it
was
well
laid
;
at
which
the
Faction
laughed
,
and
not
a
few
of
the
Courtiers
were
well
pleased
.
Mazarine
was
thought
to
have
taken
up
that
resolution
,
that
he
might
have
made
the
Town
his
own
,
after
it
had
been
taken
.
So
had
it
been
heretofore
granted
Balagny
,
and
having
been
lost
by
his
negligence
,
is
at
this
day
held
by
the
Spaniard
in
right
of
Conquest
.
Amidst
these
Affairs
,
the
War
not
being
closely
pursued
,
Convoys
past
freely
on
all
parts
.
The
Courtiers
spend
their
time
in
Feasts
,
and
entertaining
one
another
.
And
because
there
is
no
chear
without
it
be
made
in
Paris
,
thither
Jarcey
,
Jerzy
,
San-Megrin
,
and
divers
others
poste
up
.
These
being
at
Supper
with
Candale
at
Renards
were
very
merry
,
when
of
a
sudden
Beaufort
comes
in
upon
them
,
as
they
were
in
their
Jollity
,
and
gives
Jerzey
threatning
language
(
nay
some
say
farther
,
that
he
bastonado'd
him
.
)
The
Company
dissolves
;
the
Board
is
tumbled
down
;
you
would
have
thought
it
the
Fray
of
the
,
Lapithae
.
It
was
given
out
,
that
the
matter
could
no
ways
be
made
up
,
but
in
a
fair
Duel
.
But
after
the
French
wont
,
the
beginning
of
the
quarrel
is
hot
,
but
the
end
flags
,
their
tempers
being
easily
wrought
upon
.
Much
Broth
was
spilt
on
the
Table-cloth
,
but
no
blood-shed
,
and
after
such
a
sharp
bickering
,
all
presently
were
made
very
good
friends
.
Two
things
did
most
afflict
Mazarine
;
the
unhappy
attempt
upon
Cambray
,
and
the
Borders
laid
waste
by
Free-quarters
,
where
a
general
dearth
was
very
sore
.
Then
to
delude
melancholy
,
he
goes
into
the
French
Camp
,
accompanied
with
the
chief
of
the
Courtiers
,
as
though
he
would
treat
with
Pignoranda
at
Valenciennes
about
Peace
.
It
is
incredible
,
with
what
Art
,
Eloquence
,
and
smoothness
of
Language
he
asswaged
the
most
unruly
;
especially
the
Alemans
whom
he
promised
,
and
at
length
gave
leave
to
make
an
Incursion
into
the
Enemies
Country
.
All
parts
were
there
laid
waste
,
to
no
less
damage
,
than
terrour
;
the
Cattel
driven
:
the
Souldier
satisfied
.
Harcourt
,
that
he
might
not
be
thought
to
have
done
nothing
all
that
Campaigne
storms
Conde
,
a
Town
situated
in
a
Plain
on
the
Scheldt
,
and
the
Aon
.
Mazarine
returns
to
Compiegne
;
where
the
Prince
is
reported
to
have
used
many
arguments
to
perswade
the
Queen
Regent
,
That
his
Majesty
could
not
be
kept
any
longer
out
of
the
City
;
that
many
evil
consequences
would
come
upon
it
,
which
must
all
be
imputed
to
the
male-administration
of
Mazarine
.
Orleans
came
over
to
give
the
same
advice
.
Both
of
them
joyntly
were
not
as
before
when
several
,
submissive
,
but
imperious
.
Orleans
as
the
Kings
Uncle
,
bearing
great
sway
.
In
Conde
resided
the
supreme
Command
and
Glory
of
the
Martial
Power
.
Therefore
it
was
concluded
the
better
course
to
comply
with
their
advice
,
thaw
by
drawing
Counter
,
to
give
the
Faction
advantage
.
Therefore
August
16.
in
the
year
1649.
his
Majesty
is
welcomed
into
the
City
.
His
Entry
was
remarkable
for
all
expressions
of
joy
.
The
City
in
great
Companies
went
out
to
meet
him
:
all
the
adjacent
Country
rung
with
acclamations
:
Bonfires
burnt
all
night
:
and
drunken
Revellings
were
held
in
the
several
quarters
.
The
King
sitting
in
the
one
Boot
of
the
Coach
,
between
his
Uncle
and
Brother
,
was
pleased
with
the
Applauses
of
his
People
;
in
the
opposite
,
Conde
had
by
his
side
Cardinal
Mazarine
,
who
sate
as
the
multitude
scouled
upon
him
,
all
the
while
undaunted
.
The
Queen
Regent
,
with
the
eldest
Daughter
of
the
Duke
of
Orleans
,
and
the
Mother
of
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
sate
in
the
end
of
the
Coâch
.

his
Majesties
proceeding
may
be
fetched
from
divers
Records
:
what
is
sufficient
for
an
History
,
I
have
delivered
;
for
I
neither
write
Journals
not
Gazettes
.
The
face
of
the
City
was
then
cheerful
,
all
persons
returning
to
the
obedience
of
their
Liege
Lord
.
No
longer
did
the
Military
right
prevail
to
the
contempt
of
the
Magistrate
.
On
S.
Louys
his
day
,
the
King
attended
by
a
great
number
of
Courtiers
,
rode
through
the
City
on
Horse-back
,
that
he
might
gratifie
his
Subjects
longing
to
see
him
,
all
all
the
way
from
the
Louvre
to
the
Church
of
S.
Louys
.
A
little
before
him
,
Mazarine
had
gone
thither
in
a
Coach
without
any
Attendants
though
the
high
Streets
:
discovering
not
any
sign
of
fear
,
though
he
had
received
several
Advices
not
to
stir
forth
.
Guarded
by
his
conscience
,
and
the
favour
of
his
Prince
,
he
dreaded
no
vain
brutes
,
triumphing
in
the
affections
of
the
honest
party
with
â
better
Train
:
hated
of
none
,
but
such
as
rejoyced
at
the
publick
misery
,
and
thinking
they
should
thereby
escaped
punishment
,
laid
the
foundations
of
repairing
their
private
fortunes
in
the
common
Delinquency
.
Which
State-Policy
of
theirs
,
the
issue
afterwards
declared
.
The
Treaty
of
Marriage
with
the
Duke
de
Mercââur
,
that
had
been
intermitted
during
this
appearance
of
publick
Accommodation
,
began
to
be
set
a
foot
afresh
.
The
Son
compliant
to
his
Fathers
pleasure
,
would
voluntarily
quit
the
Admiralship
,
so
that
at
the
decease
of
his
Father
,
the
charge
might
devolve
upon
him
.
But
the
Match
is
again
disturbed
,
because
Mazarine
was
unwilling
to
have
it
concluded
against
Condes
will
.
Right
and
reason
might
permit
that
Conde
,
the
sole
Heir
of
Breze
,
should
be
promoted
to
all
the
advantages
of
his
Kinsman
:
at
least
that
the
Father
of
Breze
,
Mareschal
of
France
,
no
contemptible
man
,
should
succeed
his
deceased
Son
,
for
the
consolation
of
his
childless
condition
.
These
things
were
commonly
given
out
but
in
an
unseasonable
time
.
All
this
while
Beaufort
doth
not
give
off
siding
with
the
disaffected
party
;
yet
comes
to
Court
,
waits
upon
his
Majesty
,
pays
there
his
duty
,
but
never
offers
to
visit
Mazarine
.
The
Queen
testified
how
ill
she
took
that
,
by
her
cold
reception
of
him
:
which
again
turned
to
his
reputation
with
the
party
.
AH
the
talk
is
,
That
whilââ
,
everyone
looks
after
his
private
concern
,
no
body
minds
the
Publick
Good
.
Mazarine
to
no
effect
tryes
divers
means
of
winning
over
the
Youths
spirit
to
espouse
his
party
,
even
by
the
perswasion
of
both
his
Parents
.
He
haughtily
rejects
all
,
chusing
rather
to
gratifie
the
pleasure
of
Madam
Mombazon
,
with
whose
eyes
he
was
enthralled
.
Such
influence
had
a
Mistress
!
He
thought
himself
sufficiently
happy
,
so
he
were
but
cryed
up
for
a
brave
Slinger
,
no
Mazarinist
(
thus
were
the
Royalists
nick-named
.
)
In
the
City
mens
minds
stood
diversly
affected
.
All
Politicians
,
and
that
were
Masters
in
Court-craft
,
presaged
some
great
alteration
in
the
State
.
And
because
Mazarines
power
was
at
that
time
most
restrained
,
he
was
forced
to
give
way
to
comply
with
plausible
shadows
of
reason
,
rather
than
adhere
to
solid
connsels
.
Many
were
transported
by
discontent
,
because
they
thought
they
were
not
rewarded
proportionably
to
their
merits
âȘ
All
excess
is
venial
in
a
multitude
of
Delinquents
amidst
Tumults
that
minister
confidence
.
About
the
same
time
Michael
Particelli
L.
of
Emeri
,
that
had
been
turned
out
of
the
Treasurers
place
,
was
restored
again
to
his
Office
;
but
the
especial
meditation
of
Conde
;
whether
it
were
to
shew
his
greatness
,
or
to
procure
matter
of
new
Tumults
,
or
in
remembrance
of
friendly
offices
formerly
performed
him
,
or
upon
expectation
of
any
to
be
performed
him
hereafter
.
Many
in
their
Speeches
in
the
Parliament
inveighed
against
the
former
life
of
Emeri
,
saying
:
Pimps
and
Parasites
,
Fiddlers
and
Strumpets
were
no
proper
instruments
for
a
Minister
of
State
:
but
that
persons
of
lewd
and
dâbauched
conversation
ware
troublesom
in
War
,
expensive
in
Peace
,
detestable
to
all
honest
men
;
and
procured
nothing
but
calamity
and
destruction
.
Now
the
House
of
Emeri
still
roared
with
such
sinks
of
loosness
.
This
restored
charge
was
fruitless
to
Conde
,
destructive
to
Emeri
,
comfortable
to
neither
.
For
besides
that
Particelli
having
lost
his
good
parts
,
was
now
sunk
in
sottishness
,
being
restored
to
his
place
,
he
had
his
mind
dissolved
,
and
his
body
enervated
with
the
inveigling
allurements
of
pleasure
;
so
that
he
closed
his
loathed
Ministry
,
and
loose
life
with
a
miserable
Catastrophe
.
As
if
the
Royal
Treasure
had
some
infection
of
lust
;
so
that
the
Venereal
distemper
were
fatal
to
all
Treasurers
.
Now
the
same
Malignancy
raged
with
an
Epidemical
Contagion
all
over
Provence
and
Guyenne
.
In
Provence
this
was
the
state
of
Affairs
.
It
was
resolved
for
a
new
design
of
getting
mony
to
increase
a
Parliament
at
Aix
,
with
new
Counsellors
that
were
to
divide
the
Jurisdiction
,
every
six
months
,
for
a
certain
sum
,
which
every
one
was
to
give
.
This
was
highly
offensive
to
the
old
Members
,
to
have
their
Authority
thus
divided
,
and
of
perpetual
made
temporary
.
From
hence
was
the
source
of
the
Troubles
,
which
springing
from
a
small
rise
,
prevailed
almost
to
the
destruction
of
the
Province
.
The
Instructions
from
Court
were
:
That
way
must
be
given
to
the
popular
fury
:
That
the
Royal
Authority
still
gains
by
delay
;
but
the
ill
Plots
of
Subjects
are
always
defeated
by
time
:
That
the
Innovation
of
limiting
the
Authority
to
six
months
,
for
a
while
should
be
kept
under
Deck
;
the
Mutineers
should
in
due
season
be
punished
:
In
the
execution
of
all
this
,
there
must
be
a
fair
carriage
and
secreâââ
.
These
private
Articles
are
committed
to
the
single
fidelity
of
the
Governor
,
who
not
being
able
to
keep
counsel
,
imparts
his
Majesties
Instructions
to
one
,
and
then
another
,
and
they
to
more
;
so
by
spreading
farther
,
the
mystery
was
revealed
:
for
which
openness
the
Count
d'Ales
afterward
smarted
severely
.
For
of
a
sudden
the
Faction
takes
fire
,
and
that
Parliament
votes
against
Mazariââ
;
as
plotting
the
ruine
of
the
Province
:
it
joyns
with
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
that
Mazarine
must
be
banished
;
the
Count
d'Ales
turned
out
of
his
Government
;
and
such
other
particulars
as
their
fury
did
dictate
.
The
Count
d'Ales
doth
not
conceal
his
resentments
,
but
breathing
out
revenge
,
gives
order
that
the
Noblesse
which
were
his
friends
,
and
all
his
Creatures
should
take
up
Arms
;
casts
some
of
the
Mutineers
in
prison
,
without
considering
,
That
he
should
not
have
disobliged
those
,
whom
he
could
not
destroy
.
Farther
,
upon
a
contest
,
one
of
the
Parliaments
Messengers
was
killed
by
a
Souldier
of
the
Governors
.
Hereupon
the
Tumult
swelled
,
especially
because
upon
a
Holy-day
,
when
they
were
going
in
Procession
to
S.
Sebastians
,
which
stands
without
the
Town
,
a
Peasant
cryed
out
,
that
the
City-gates
were
a
shutting
,
to
keep
the
Burgers
out
from
returning
to
their
houses
.
The
Count
d'Ales
with
5000
Foot
,
and
500
Horse
,
and
no
small
number
of
the
Gentry
,
assaults
and
takes
the
neighbouring
Towns
.
At
length
draws
up
to
Aix
,
and
of
200
that
sallied
out
,
a
Piquering
cuts
off
every
man
.
The
Kings
Proclamation
of
Obliââion
and
Amnesty
for
what
hath
past
is
seasonably
offered
;
and
an
Agreement
being
made
,
every
one
returns
to
his
wonted
imployment
;
and
the
six
months
grievance
is
abolished
for
ever
.
Thus
many
obstructions
of
the
publick
Peace
,
through
the
discontents
of
Provence
,
were
removed
by
the
prudent
Conduct
of
Mazarine
:
much
against
the
strain
of
Nostradamus
his
Prophecies
,
who
by
the
contrary
event
is
convicted
to
have
given
lying
predictions
to
his
Country-men
.
[
This
Impostor
Was
born
at
Sisteron
,
a
City
of
Provence
.
There
are
several
Centuries
walk
about
as
his
,
being
indeed
dark
,
and
ambiguous
:
because
before
things
come
to
pass
,
men
may
hope
or
fear
;
or
when
they
become
to
pass
,
men
may
aver
the
truth
of
promises
.
Besides
,
they
are
so
couched
,
as
they
may
comprehend
different
events
,
and
are
capable
of
several
constructions
.
Now
,
though
these
are
daily
interlined
and
enlarged
with
new
insertions
,
yet
such
is
the
madness
of
credulous
men
,
that
they
stick
not
to
contend
for
the
truth
of
what
they
understand
not
,
and
though
they
be
trapped
in
an
evident
untruth
,
will
not
be
undeceived
.
But
the
Star
of
the
Bourdelois
did
strangely
symbolize
with
that
of
tne
Parisian
;
and
no
wonder
when
Paris
was
mad
,
for
Bourdeaux
to
be
out
of
its
wits
.
Now
if
any
one
should
inquire
,
what
cause
did
over-cast
the
serenity
of
Guyenne
?
there
will
be
found
no
sufficient
occasion
.
Let
but
any
one
reflect
in
the
first
place
upon
all
stirs
,
how
much
the
inconstancy
of
that
Country
is
wont
to
take
upon
it self
,
how
much
disgust
of
the
present
State
and
desire
of
Innovation
hath
been
,
and
will
be
in
that
Capital
City
of
a
warlike
Sept.
Where
,
by
reason
of
the
indulgent
weather
,
and
Hills
cloathed
with
Vineyards
,
a
small
Estate
may
maintain
debauchery
:
amidst
sprightful
Wits
,
that
have
hands
perpetually
bent
to
fighting
.
A
Country
wantââ
with
their
prosperity
,
having
no
Enemy
abroad
,
must
seek
out
one
at
home
;
and
like
the
Symplegâdes
delights
to
dash
against
themselves
.
Therefore
the
Acts
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
are
magnified
by
them
;
and
their
courage
extolled
:
from
whence
ariseth
an
emulation
of
doing
the
like
âȘ
Besides
there
were
Ladies
too
in
those
quarters
that
must
rival
the
Dames
of
Paris
,
and
were
no
less
amorous
.
There
only
needed
to
dress
up
a
person
upon
whom
the
Faction
already
kindled
in
their
minds
,
might
discharge
its
strength
.
The
Duke
of
Espernon
,
that
was
deputed
Governor
over
Guyenne
,
seemed
proper
to
be
made
the
Ball
that
should
be
tossed
.
His
pride
joyned
with
covetousness
is
condemned
.
The
Court
of
that
Parliament
reject
his
Orders
by
their
own
Ordinances
:
impeach
him
before
the
King
,
as
their
Enemy
,
and
contriving
the
ruine
of
Guyenne
:
chahge
all
his
severity
to
proceed
from
ambition
,
as
though
je
would
erect
himself
some
petty
Empire
by
enslaving
Bourdeaux
That
he
shamefully
ingrâssed
their
Wheat
;
the
trucking
and
exporting
of
which
,
enhanced
the
price
of
Corn
,
otherwise
plentiful
in
those
parts
:
and
that
ăâă
farther
thought
of
laying
a
new
Impost
upon
every
Tââ
of
Wine
.
That
he
was
building
a
Fort
at
Livorne
,
with
design
to
bridle
Bourdeaux
which
he
was
resolved
to
disarm
;
and
to
batter
the
innocent
Town
from
the
Cittadel
of
Trompet
with
Ordnance
,
brought
thither
from
the
old
Castle
of
Ha.
Now
the
common
People
hearkned
to
this
,
because
they
hated
him
:
and
they
hated
him
,
because
at
that
time
such
a
rebellious
Star
raigned
,
as
that
it
was
fitting
for
the
storm
of
Envy
to
pour
upon
any
head
,
so
it
might
fall
somewhere
.
He
,
as
he
was
of
a
lofty
pirit
,
and
confident
,
slighted
their
threats
and
conspiracies
,
or
made
shew
as
though
he
had
slighted
them
,
lest
it
might
seem
possible
he
should
be
deprest
in
that
City
,
where
through
the
daring
valour
of
his
Father
,
an
eternal
Interest
of
the
House
of
Espernon
was
thought
to
have
been
founded
.
The
most
remarkable
Ring-leaders
of
the
dissatisfied
party
were
Murat
,
Picon
,
but
above
all
Dafie
,
and
Lavie
,
the
Kings
Advocate
,
a
prime
man
among
them
,
their
very
Captain
,
and
principal
Leader
.
Several
Expedients
are
tryed
for
composing
the
difference
.
All
are
thrown
out
by
the
violence
of
the
Faction
.
Espernon
,
although
strong
with
the
Kings
Souldiers
,
and
the
assistance
of
his
own
Dependents
and
Friends
,
retired
out
of
Town
,
lest
the
Royal
Majesty
might
seem
to
have
been
violated
in
the
person
of
his
Lieutenant
.
The
Bourdelois
raise
Land-Souldiers
and
Sea-men
.
The
Regiments
are
recruited
with
new
Levies
.
All
the
Youth
love
to
be
handling
Arms.
Every
one
strives
to
be
ennobled
,
though
by
bad
action
,
rather
than
to
sit
idle
.
Hostility
is
acted
on
both
sides
.
D'
Espernon
must
be
turned
out
as
the
occasion
of
the
Troubles
:
this
is
the
only
remedy
,
all
other
offers
are
but
vain
.
Mazarine
holds
earnestly
for
the
contrary
âȘ
that
never
were
such
Demands
yielded
to
âȘ
without
apparent
prejudice
:
The
President
woulâ
be
dangerous
:
it
would
prove
not
an
end
,
buâ
step
to
higher
insolencies
.
That
Conde
would
bâ
that
means
take
greater
boldness
;
whose
care
it
ăâă
to
ingage
the
Bourdelois
,
as
appeared
by
severââ
discoveries
.
Nor
would
he
let
slip
any
opportunity
of
rising
,
if
it
should
be
offered
.
Whilst
these
things
are
transacting
at
Bourdeâââ
the
Court
is
rent
into
contrary
parties
,
under
several
pretences
.
The
Queen
was
always
stiff
in
maintaining
Mazarine
,
who
plainly
appeared
the
only
person
in
promoting
the
Kings
Interests
,
and
holding
up
his
Authority
shaken
on
every
hand
:
noâ
thus
she
judged
;
that
he
was
most
to
be
regarded
âȘ
in
whose
spirit
was
courage
;
and
what
she
founâ
most
useful
,
that
must
be
retained
for
preservatioâ
of
their
security
.
But
that
Conde
who
was
opeâââ
contrary
to
the
Publick
Good
,
must
be
represt
;
all
ăâă
advantages
upon
the
confidence
of
which
he
carrieâ
himself
so
high
,
were
to
be
retrenched
:
therefoââ
Espernon
must
be
preserved
from
falling
under
thâ
Rebels
;
and
rather
than
afterwards
,
Guyenne
ăâă
important
to
whatsoever
Party
it
takes
,
should
be
ăâă
wholly
at
the
devotion
of
Conde
.
That
the
Proveââzals
must
not
be
abandoned
to
the
revenge
of
Ales
,
ăâă
would
joyn
with
his
Cousin
Conde
,
and
grow
proud
ăâă
having
mastered
his
Adversaries
.
That
Orleans
ăâă
to
be
won
over
to
the
Royal
Cause
,
and
linked
to
it
ăâă
means
of
the
Abbot
de
la
Riviere
,
that
was
to
be
ăâă
in
band
with
expectation
of
a
Cardinals
Cap
ăâă
Beaufort
was
to
be
bought
off
by
Mombazon
.
That
Corinth
was
to
be
inveigled
with
variety
of
hopes
by
Madame
Chevreuse
.
The
Parliament
to
be
preserved
in
their
Allegiance
by
any
means
.
That
some
gifts
were
to
be
scattered
amongst
the
busie
and
turbulent
Spirits
,
to
keep
them
quiet
:
that
all
were
to
be
wrought
over
by
hopes
,
promises
,
preferments
,
and
all
that
,
during
this
two
years
,
all
which
time
his
Majesty
could
not
take
the
Government
himself
,
by
reason
of
the
established
Laws
,
and
his
Minority
.
This
was
the
Queens
sense
,
who
conducted
all
in
safety
amidst
the
high
billows
,
it
is
not
to
be
imagined
with
how
calm
a
spirit
,
the
Divine
favour
presiding
over
her
most
holy
Counsels
.
Orleans
thath
had
no
design
but
what
was
iâsinuated
into
him
,
partly
by
his
Wife
,
who
had
taken
up
an
opinion
,
that
the
King
would
marry
her
Daughter
,
and
partly
by
the
instinct
of
the
Abbot
of
Riviere
,
who
expected
a
Cap
by
the
favour
of
the
Court
,
resolved
to
stick
to
the
Queen
:
and
that
mainly
for
this
reason
,
to
oppose
Conde
that
was
tacked
about
.
Conde
,
Conti
,
and
Longueville
(
whose
Lady
was
Condes
Sister
,
and
had
her
Followers
too
)
though
dissenting
in
other
matters
,
yet
concurred
in
this
;
That
they
would
not
have
Mazarine
removed
,
but
taken
down
,
so
as
to
promote
their
Suits
,
which
were
no
small
ones
.
And
to
have
his
wings
clipped
,
that
he
might
not
sore
too
high
,
and
that
the
beginnings
of
an
immoderate
favour
and
greatness
,
,
might
be
obviated
upon
the
remembrance
of
their
slavery
under
Richlieu
.
Without
doubt
Mazarine
might
have
had
such
persons
at
his
devotion
,
so
he
could
but
have
stooped
to
their
humors
,
and
have
relaxed
any
thing
ăâă
his
rigorous
loyalty
towards
the
King
his
Master
ăâă
in
a
constant
tenour
of
which
,
he
persevered
undaunted
maugre
all
Conspiracies
and
Threats
to
the
contrary
.
The
design
of
Beaufort
and
Corinth
was
to
acquire
a
greatness
that
might
make
them
dreaded
,
and
considerable
;
so
that
which
way
they
should
bend
,
they
might
turn
the
scale
:
especially
of
Cârinth
,
who
bore
in
mind
his
Predecessors
that
had
umpired
in
the
State
of
France
.
Therefore
did
he
cherish
the
commotions
,
particularly
in
Bourdeaux
âȘ
and
aimed
at
bringing
the
Queen
Regent
at
length
to
that
pass
,
as
to
renouunce
Mazarine
,
and
take
in
either
himself
or
Chasteaunoeuf
to
the
prime
Ministry
.
In
the
mean
while
poor
Guyenne
,
always
averse
from
quiet
courses
,
was
torn
with
intestine
rage
.
Nor
did
the
violence
of
displeasure
against
Espernon
abate
.
They
fell
one
upon
another
with
all
extremity
;
and
the
Kings
Souldiers
plundered
the
neighbouring
Towns
,
as
if
it
had
been
the
Spaniards
or
Enemies
Country
.
The
Bourdelois
would
restrain
them
from
pillaging
,
and
sometimes
pillage
themselves
:
they
engaged
oftentimes
with
success
,
always
couragiously
,
although
the
giddy
multitude
had
divers
Leaders
.
How
tough
the
hatred
was
,
you
may
learn
by
this
,
that
the
Peasants
upon
the
places
adjacent
to
the
City
,
besieged
in
their
Castles
,
chose
rather
to
be
burnt
alive
,
than
to
come
by
Surrender
into
the
hands
of
the
Royalists
.
Whosover
from
a
moderate
principle
bethought
themselves
how
great
a
crime
was
acted
,
were
adjudged
Enemies
of
the
State
,
and
banished
out
of
Town
.
Letters
from
the
Parliament
of
Paris
scattered
seeds
of
War
,
who
promised
all
help
to
the
Assembly
of
the
Parliament
of
Bourdeaux
.
Tholouse
that
was
ever
unspotted
with
treasonable
designs
,
being
invited
to
an
Union
,
stoutly
denied
,
but
promised
its
utmost
service
to
appear
as
an
Interceder
in
procuring
a
Pacification
;
and
that
by
the
approbation
too
of
Candale
.
But
all
this
was
fruitless
:
nor
was
it
easie
to
part
men
desirous
to
fight
,
and
vaunting
the
strength
of
their
Party
.
Nor
did
they
any
longer
contest
with
Declarations
,
but
came
to
blows
.
Argenson
is
sent
thither
to
treat
as
Commissioner
,
who
after
divers
endeavours
,
when
he
thought
he
had
brought
all
into
safe
Harbour
,
was
driven
back
by
new
billows
again
into
the
open
Sea
.
I
will
not
be
prolix
,
nor
dwell
any
longer
upon
this
Whirlpool
of
Sedition
,
whenas
very
many
have
delivered
these
things
out
of
vanity
in
too
tedious
repetitions
.
Argenson
first
went
to
visit
Espernon
at
Cardillac
(
a
pleasant
Seat
of
the
Espernons
)
though
Bourdeaux
was
not
well
pleased
at
his
so
doing
.
There
what
was
said
in
Conference
,
was
to
this
purpose
:
That
he
must
relieve
the
Garrison
at
Trompet
with
provision
,
which
they
stood
in
much
need
of
.
[
The
Bourdelois
had
so
closely
blocked
it
up
,
that
nothing
could
be
conveyed
into
it
.
]
That
the
Fort
begun
at
Libourne
must
be
compleated
;
from
thence
sprung
the
Revolt
,
and
all
those
troubles
that
ensued
,
were
upon
that
occasion
.
Argenson
passing
between
the
hostile
Troops
on
the
one
side
and
the
other
begged
of
them
both
,
to
return
home
,
nor
to
crush
the
hopeful
beginnings
of
composing
matters
with
too
hasty
counsels
.
They
promise
,
they
will
obey
his
Majesties
Commands
;
Espernon
declared
he
required
nothing
but
the
settlement
of
the
Country
.
Not
a
word
of
all
which
was
true
.
Yet
by
the
consent
of
both
Parties
,
these
Articles
were
signed
.
Neither
Party
to
revenge
past
wrong
:
neither
to
instigate
their
followers
to
fight
;
neither
advisedly
to
violate
the
Articles
of
Peace
;
no
Quarrels
to
be
permitted
between
the
Townsmen
and
Souldiers
,
which
ordinarily
break
out
against
the
will
of
their
Superiors
.
The
Bourdelois
grown
more
moderate
,
kept
within
the
terms
prescribed
,
and
,
according
to
agreement
,
Meal
was
conveyed
into
the
Garrison
at
Trompette
.
Espernon
thought
he
had
well
ordered
the
present
state
of
Affairs
,
so
that
the
Castle
of
Trompette
were
preserved
from
taking
,
and
the
Fort
at
Libourne
were
built
up
to
curb
the
Bourdelois
.
Therefore
he
sees
that
the
Work
be
hastened
forward
,
a
Garrison
,
and
two
great
Guns
,
with
store
of
Powder
and
Bullet
be
put
in
.
Whereupon
the
violence
of
the
Faction
which
was
abating
,
broke
out
afâesh
.
Nor
did
Argenson
escape
censure
,
being
openly
cryed
out
against
,
as
one
of
Espernons
party
,
and
an
Enemy
of
Bourdeaux
.
Never
were
Spirits
more
embittered
.
This
is
observable
,
that
as
in
the
Parliament
of
Paris
the
worshipful
old
men
were
carried
away
with
the
stream
of
the
young
;
so
on
the
contrary
in
that
of
Bourdeaux
,
the
Elders
in
the
Assembly
hurried
away
the
Youth
,
implanting
ill
principles
in
them
.
Espernon
having
now
set
the
Castle
of
Trompette
in
safety
,
which
was
relieved
with
Provision
,
supported
the
courage
of
his
Followers
with
small
pay
,
but
great
promises
.
Nor
seemed
he
so
much
to
aim
that
the
King
should
conquer
,
as
that
himself
might
not
be
conquered
,
resolving
to
stand
to
no
Articles
;
but
with
an
hereditary
pride
,
plotted
secret
means
of
revenge
.
There
is
no
doubt
but
the
Peace
had
been
then
firm
,
had
not
he
been
unstedfast
in
his
promise
.
About
this
time
Argenson
and
his
Son
fell
into
manifest
danger
from
the
common
People
;
the
Archbishop
in
vain
labouring
to
appease
them
:
out
of
whose
house
,
as
not
being
safe
,
he
went
and
secured
himself
in
the
Garrison
of
Ha
,
an
old
Castle
,
either
to
avoid
violence
,
or
to
put
himself
there
as
an
Hostage
.
However
the
matter
were
,
there
was
he
obliged
to
write
a
Letter
to
the
Governor
of
Libourne
,
wherein
he
was
required
to
demolish
that
building
which
gave
cause
of
jealousie
.
Though
Argenson
knew
this
would
be
ineffectual
,
as
he
had
reason
to
believe
;
having
no
authority
over
the
Governor
of
Libourne
;
yet
he
did
it
to
pacifie
the
Sedition
,
for
a
small
space
stilling
with
a
temporary
remedy
that
anger
which
would
break
out
more
violently
.
The
Son
of
Argenson
rides
to
Libourne
,
carrying
with
him
his
Fathers
Orders
,
which
were
not
obeyed
.
But
Argenson
by
some
means
or
other
getting
free
,
prefently
waited
on
Espernon
,
who
promised
to
do
his
endeavour
,
that
the
Sconce
at
Libourme
might
speedily
be
razed
to
the
ground
.
The
Bourdelois
not
brooking
any
delay
,
nor
much
confiding
on
the
word
of
Espernon
,
levying
fresh
Forces
,
draw
up
again
in
Arms
;
and
lead
out
of
the
City
all
the
strength
they
could
draw
together
,
to
make
the
greater
appearance
.
I
find
there
were
7000
men
in
Arms
set
in
array
in
the
field
.
They
march
towards
Libourne
;
and
encamp
not
far
from
the
Town
,
without
raising
any
Works
.
Espernon
rejoycing
that
he
had
a
desired
opportunity
of
giving
Battel
to
the
Faction
,
no
longer
shelter'd
within
Walls
,
but
exposed
in
vast
Plain
;
directly
leads
the
Kings
Souldiers
and
his
own
Followers
with
the
band
of
the
Gentry
against
the
Rebels
.
At
first
there
were
light
Skirmishes
engaged
with
variety
of
Fortune
.
The
valour
of
his
Souldiers
made
for
Espernon
the
number
for
the
Mutineers
,
which
could
not
carry
it
.
For
upon
a
charge
made
after
the
Rules
of
Martial
Discipline
;
the
Companies
of
new-raised
Souldiers
were
routed
,
and
put
to
flight
.
Some
slain
;
others
swallowed
up
in
the
gulf
of
the
Dordonne
.
Their
Leader
Chambaret
sighting
stoutly
,
died
;
the
Prisoners
were
brought
to
Espernon
,
who
not
rising
his
Victory
with
sufficient
moderation
,
grew
much
elevated
in
his
spirit
:
and
drawing
towards
Bourdeaux
,
made
a
halt
at
Grave
,
two
miles
off
the
Town
.
There
the
Archbishop
and
certain
Commissioners
of
the
Town
treated
with
him
in
fair
terms
of
Application
,
about
the
submission
and
protection
of
the
Town
,
to
which
he
was
invited
.
Espernon
through
the
great
perswasions
of
Argenson
resolves
to
enter
the
City
,
so
he
might
have
a
reception
suitable
to
his
Dignity
.
The
Burgers
agree
to
it
:
not
the
Parliament
,
which
always
stood
off
from
any
treating
with
Espernon
,
as
unsafe
.
Therefore
the
Barricadoes
of
the
Streets
being
taken
away
,
and
Lusigniac
,
who
supplied
the
place
of
Chambaret
lately
slain
,
being
turned
out
of
the
Town
with
his
Souldiers
,
Espernon
finds
all
things
at
his
disposal
.
No
where
did
ever
appear
more
evident
hopes
of
composing
differences
.
They
seemed
mutually
to
blame
their
disaster
,
which
had
induced
such
a
necessity
of
misunderstanding
.
Espernon
having
spent
but
few
days
at
Bourdeaux
with
a
shew
of
reconciliation
,
retired
to
Cadillac
,
meditating
rather
revenge
,
than
to
be
quiet
.
But
had
he
longer
continued
in
person
with
them
that
were
froward
,
yet
so
as
they
might
have
been
brought
over
with
fair
usage
;
they
would
all
have
come
into
their
obedience
.
But
as
much
of
those
mischiefs
is
to
be
imputed
to
the
unquiet
disposition
of
the
people
,
so
more
to
the
arrogancy
of
Espernon
:
into
whose
recesses
the
Faction
prying
,
could
easily
discover
a
bottom
,
ulcerated
with
study
of
revenge
.
Espernon
being
out
of
the
reach
of
the
storms
at
Bourdeaux
,
dispatched
Argenson
the
Son
to
the
Court
,
which
was
then
at
Amiens
,
that
he
might
at
large
relate
the
whole
matter
to
get
the
people
pardoned
;
but
the
Parliament
suspended
.
Whilst
this
is
six
months
debating
in
the
Privy
Council
,
the
Faction
gathers
strength
by
delay
.
[
These
many
past
Ages
it
hath
been
observed
,
that
amongst
the
French
beneficial
Counsels
are
slow
,
but
hurtful
exceeding
quick
in
their
dispatch
.
]
The
Court
rejoycing
at
the
successes
of
Espernon
,
willingly
embraces
his
advice
,
and
sends
Guitald
Cominges
with
two
Pursuivants
,
wearing
the
Badge
of
a
Chain
,
that
in
the
Kings
Name
should
suspend
the
Parliament
of
Bourdeaux
from
all
Jurisdiction
.
Espernon
,
Argenson
,
and
Guitald
enter
the
Palace
,
keeping
close
to
themselves
the
matter
about
which
they
came
.
But
as
the
mind
of
the
Faction
was
watchful
,
they
thought
that
to
be
which
they
feared
would
be
,
and
easily
perceived
the
matter
.
Therefore
these
were
denied
entrance
into
the
House
.
Espernon
attempts
by
his
Followers
to
break
open
the
door
;
which
turned
to
be
unlucky
.
For
the
common
People
,
whether
of
their
own
inclination
,
or
by
the
instigation
of
any
other
,
broke
out
into
a
sudden
rage
,
and
gave
an
Alarm
over
all
the
streets
.
Espernon
thought
it
his
safer
course
to
go
away
,
than
stand
the
dangers
that
were
imminent
.
He
quits
the
Town
,
and
gets
him
to
his
Seat
of
Puipaul
,
and
afterwards
went
to
Cadillac
;
at
last
to
Agennois
,
where
he
lingered
,
unhandsomly
casting
about
to
work
his
revenge
.
I
can
scarcely
reach
in
words
with
what
scorns
he
was
vilified
,
with
what
reproaches
affronted
,
when
he
left
Bourdeaux
.
Finding
all
the
effects
of
a
popular
indignation
,
in
the
most
outragious
wreaking
of
their
inveterate
spleen
.
Some
secretly
pitied
him
,
but
their
kindness
would
do
no
good
.
Then
surely
appeared
evidently
the
truth
of
that
Maxime
;
That
Honour
void
of
merit
vanishes
in
a
moment
.
Cominges
assaying
to
make
up
all
breaches
,
lost
his
labour
.
Argenson
politickly
got
leave
to
be
dismissed
,
not
having
found
any
fit
opportunity
of
doing
the
service
he
desired
.
The
Faction
is
now
no
more
at
variance
with
it self
in
diversity
of
Judgments
.
The
Corps
of
the
Parliament
and
City
are
united
together
,
and
make
it
their
whole
business
to
contrive
wayâ
whereby
the
whole
Odium
may
be
retorted
upon
Espernon
,
who
residing
at
Agennois
,
with
making
Entertainments
,
purchased
a
reputation
among
his
Trencher-companions
,
that
would
not
long
continue
.
Now
he
would
make
sumptuous
Feasts
;
anon
by
saving
of
a
little
money
;
but
all
the
while
prodigal
of
his
fame
.
Word
being
brought
to
Court
of
this
so
notable
a
change
of
Affairs
,
it
is
resolved
by
any
means
to
asswage
the
new
Tumult
;
and
to
release
the
Commissioners
of
Bourdeaux
,
that
were
kept
in
custody
at
Senbis
,
sending
them
home
to
promise
in
the
Kings
behalf
all
just
condescensions
to
the
Parliament
and
Burgers
of
their
Town
,
provided
they
would
but
heartily
return
to
their
duty
.
About
this
time
Guinet
,
weary
of
his
Office
(
he
was
Captain
General
of
the
Forces
of
Bourdeaux
)
had
resigned
up
his
Commission
in
favour
of
Saubeuf
.
First
he
had
made
offer
of
it
to
Bouillon
,
who
presently
communicated
it
to
Conde
.
Saubeuf
being
gracious
with
the
people
,
watched
for
the
opportunity
of
some
Stirs
,
that
he
might
come
into
Honour
.
Hs
was
no
mean
person
,
who
had
taken
the
party
of
Orleans
with
Montmorency
;
afterwards
was
Lieutenant
General
to
the
Duke
of
Parma
.
Under
the
Conduct
therefore
of
this
Saubeuf
are
new
preparations
for
War
made
,
both
by
Sea
and
Land
.
Several
sorts
of
Vessels
are
made
,
whereby
the
Bourdelois
might
be
rendred
Masters
of
the
Garonne
.
The
News
of
this
at
Court
increased
the
perplexities
of
Mazarine
,
who
foresaw
the
only
remedy
of
these
distractions
to
be
in
the
Revocation
of
Espernon
:
and
he
could
not
be
revoked
without
the
substituting
Conde
in
his
place
;
of
whom
the
whole
Faction
was
fond
,
as
a
person
suitable
to
the
present
state
of
Affairs
.
Therefore
Mazarine
,
as
hath
been
already
said
,
could
by
no
means
âe
brought
to
it
:
reasonably
fearing
worse
consequences
from
their
excessive
affection
to
Conde
,
than
their
hatred
of
Espernon
.
Some
thoughts
were
of
sending
Orleans
thither
,
who
carried
so
much
dignity
,
as
might
serve
to
appease
the
disorders
.
The
Proposal
did
not
please
Orleans
,
whether
it
were
that
he
doubted
of
the
issue
,
or
out
of
an
inbred
affection
to
his
ease
.
Nay
it
was
debated
,
whether
the
Kings
Majesty
should
go
thither
in
Person
:
but
the
State
of
Paris
required
his
Royal
presence
.
At
length
Praslin
du
Plessis
received
this
difficult
Imployment
.
He
did
not
go
straight
to
Bourdeaux
,
lest
he
should
distast
Espernon
,
nor
to
Cadillac
,
lest
he
might
offend
the
Bourdelois
:
but
made
a
stop
at
Lormont
:
where
in
Conference
with
the
Commissioners
both
from
the
City
and
the
Parliament
,
he
endeavours
to
restore
the
City
and
Guyenne
to
its
ancient
quiet
.
Then
was
the
Fort
at
Trompet
closely
beleaguered
,
from
the
Siege
of
which
he
could
by
no
Arguments
prevail
to
withdraw
the
Bourdelois
:
nay
,
the
more
he
insisted
upon
that
unseasonable
Article
,
the
more
eager
was
the
Siege
pressed
,
till
at
length
it
had
that
success
,
as
we
shall
afterwards
mention
.
The
issue
of
the
Treaty
,
was
Espernon
must
be
removed
;
or
the
incensed
City
would
stand
it
out
to
the
last
.
And
when
Praslin
spoke
of
Moderation
,
he
was
hissed
by
the
most
,
and
called
in
derision
Argenson
,
as
though
he
trod
in
his
steps
.
Lavieu
returns
again
to
the
Court
,
to
relate
his
own
and
his
Countries
Adventures
:
That
neither
the
Parliament
nor
Bourdeaux
did
deny
to
discharge
their
duty
;
that
the
Townsmen
were
all
ready
to
approve
their
Loyalty
,
so
they
might
not
be
in
subjection
to
Espernon
,
whom
they
called
the
Stone
of
stumbling
.
Lavieu
promised
his
faithful
Service
,
in
reclaiming
them
at
the
Council
board
;
when
he
was
got
to
Bourdeaux
,
his
performances
were
not
agreeable
to
his
promises
.
Certain
it
is
,
he
always
suggested
turbulent
insinuations
,
and
opposed
any
accommodation
,
secretly
practising
Conde
above
others
to
stand
by
Bourdeaux
in
this
Juncture
of
Affairs
;
to
undertake
the
Patronage
of
the
distressed
City
,
which
chose
him
as
the
Protector
and
Recoverer
of
its
Liberty
.
He
bids
Lavien
be
of
good
courage
,
he
would
stand
or
fall
with
them
.
Which
afterwards
Lavieu
when
he
came
home
,
reported
with
more
ample
circumstances
to
put
his
Townsmen
in
hope
,
and
encourage
the
Faction
with
vain
promises
,
wherein
he
was
always
a
main
Instrument
.
When
Candale
did
by
a
certain
Confident
move
Conde
,
that
he
would
not
abet
the
disorderly
Riots
to
create
a
feud
between
himself
and
the
House
of
Espernon
;
they
report
that
the
Prince
should
make
answer
,
He
would
do
all
that
lay
in
his
power
to
gratifie
the
Espernons
,
so
he
might
be
secured
of
their
assistance
,
and
faithfulness
to
him
,
which
waysoever
matters
should
turn
.
Candale
rightly
interpreting
that
speech
to
tend
towards
the
diminution
of
his
Faith
,
that
was
due
to
his
Soveraign
only
,
neglected
to
purchase
Conde
at
such
a
rate
.
These
passages
coming
to
light
,
and
reported
at
Bourdeaux
,
might
have
been
sufficient
to
have
removed
any
hopes
on
Conde
,
had
not
an
unbridled
rage
blinded
the
poor
Burgers
:
who
,
though
they
had
often
received
warning
,
that
nothing
was
to
be
expected
from
Cande
,
yet
would
always
place
their
confidence
of
being
protected
on
him
.
So
easie
and
obvious
a
thing
is
it
under
any
Mask
to
bewitch
the
multitude
.
All
this
time
the
Castle
of
Trompette
being
distressed
with
the
want
of
all
necessaries
,
could
no
longer
hold
out
upon
hopes
of
relief
:
from
whence
it
came
,
that
those
of
the
Garrison
being
pinched
with
hunger
,
drove
certain
beasts
that
grazed
thereabouts
,
into
their
Works
.
Which
proved
not
their
succour
,
but
their
ruine
;
for
presently
the
Castle
was
straightly
begirt
,
and
battered
with
Artillery
of
all
sort
.
Those
of
the
Garrison
discharge
their
Guns
.
Open
Hostility
is
acted
on
every
side
.
Saubeuf
with
Lusignan
quarter
Souldiers
in
the
adjacent
parts
,
from
whence
the
Garrison
being
in
extremity
,
might
have
been
succoured
,
and
fill
the
Churches
too
with
Guards
.
They
seize
upon
Podensac
,
and
S.
Georges
Isle
.
They
rifle
the
Houses
and
Farms
of
such
as
out
of
moderation
would
not
joyn
with
the
Faction
.
Espernon
with
as
great
strength
as
he
could
make
,
standing
on
the
other
side
of
the
River
,
appeared
to
give
the
besieged
some
flattering
hopes
of
relief
:
for
thinking
it
not
safe
to
march
forward
,
he
retreated
.
Hereupon
the
besieged
,
reduced
to
some
80
tattered
and
torn
men
,
were
put
into
extreme
desperation
;
having
their
Turrets
battered
,
provision
consumed
,
and
water
corrupted
.
After
two
months
defence
,
Haulmont
the
Governor
surrendered
the
Castle
to
Saubeuf
,
upon
condition
of
bare
quarter
for
himself
and
the
remnant
of
Souldiers
that
survived
with
him
;
rendring
the
rest
to
discretion
.
Presently
the
common
People
,
like
wild
beasts
,
flye
upon
the
rubbish
and
ruines
of
the
battered
Castle
.
The
rich
Furniture
of
Espernon
,
lodged
there
for
security
,
being
put
to
sale
by
order
,
is
made
away
at
inconsiderable
prizes
.
The
Ordnance
are
drawn
away
to
the
Parliament
House
door
;
not
only
with
the
applause
of
the
people
,
but
also
the
principal
Citizens
,
provoking
every
one
to
share
in
the
Publick
rejoycing
.
Men
were
invited
all
about
the
streets
to
make
merry
.
Monsieur
Fajard
,
an
eminent
Counsellor
,
sate
astride
upon
one
of
the
great
Guns
,
having
on
his
head
a
Garland
of
Ivy
and
Vine-leaves
,
resembling
a
Bacchus
bearing
such
branches
,
in
manner
not
at
all
becoming
the
gravity
of
his
Gown
;
and
drinking
himself
,
served
all
comers
with
wine
.
The
Bourdelois
with
strong
sallies
lay
the
Country
waste
far
and
near
.
There
were
four
thousand
Foot
(
most
of
them
that
had
left
the
Kings
Colours
)
and
eighteen
hundred
Horse
in
the
Rebels
pay
.
Having
taken
Pondensac
,
they
threaten
to
ruine
Cadillac
;
but
in
vain
,
for
there
was
the
flower
of
Espernons
Forces
.
They
batter
Langon
,
assail
S.
Macaire
.
The
neighbouring
Towns
fall
under
the
same
condition
.
Then
doth
Doignon
,
the
Governor
of
Brouage
,
enter
the
Garonne
with
eight
Men
of
War
,
most
of
them
Fire-ships
,
and
not
a
few
lesser
Vessels
filled
with
old
Souldiers
;
and
lands
at
Roche
Lormont
.
Saubeuf
with
Girart
attaque
him
so
vigorously
,
that
the
Kings
Souldiers
were
forced
to
get
again
a
Ship-board
,
hardly
saving
their
Ordnance
.
After
this
were
Skirmishes
with
various
success
.
The
Bourdelois
were
forced
to
retire
,
by
reason
of
strong
succours
sent
in
from
all
parts
to
the
Kings
Army
,
the
only
effectual
perswasive
to
induce
the
Faction
to
more
sober
courses
.
Therefore
they
come
to
a
serious
Treaty
of
Peace
.
Alvimar
had
brought
Articles
,
which
Praslin
sweetned
;
as
he
was
wont
in
Peace
and
War
to
advise
to
a
prudent
moderation
.
The
Treaty
proceeding
,
of
a
sudden
the
high
swellings
and
great
Conflicts
were
composed
upon
these
terms
,
That
the
Castle
of
Trompet
should
abide
in
the
state
wherein
it
was
at
present
,
that
is
,
demolished
,
till
the
Kings
coming
to
be
of
Age
:
That
the
publick
Taxes
should
be
abated
;
especially
that
the
ăâă
Crowns
Impost
upon
every
Tun
of
Wine
carried
out
of
the
City
,
should
be
abolished
:
that
the
Consuls
of
every
Borough-Town
have
free
liberty
of
Appeal
to
the
Parliament
of
Bourdeaux
.
All
these
Concessions
were
of
no
great
weight
;
but
had
they
been
denied
,
perhaps
poor
Bourdeaux
must
have
been
ruined
:
the
Court-prudence
granted
the
Requests
.
Nor
yet
was
their
factiousness
satisfied
,
who
made
their
own
advantages
of
the
publick
Troubles
,
or
designed
so
to
do
.
One
of
which
sort
was
Mottadelais
,
dispatched
to
Madrid
,
to
sue
for
assistance
against
the
Royal
Forces
,
and
the
Tyarnny
of
Espernon
.
There
were
divers
opinions
in
the
Spanish
Council
:
of
which
this
was
the
prevailing
,
That
Vattevil
Governor
of
the
Province
:
Guipuscoa
,
should
in
person
go
to
Bourdeaux
,
to
view
all
matters
,
and
after
inquiry
,
report
upon
what
bottom
the
Spanish
Providence
might
safely
build
.
Vattevil
embarques
at
S.
Sebastians
,
and
after
a
prosperous
Voyage
,
arrives
at
Bourdeaux
,
a
very
few
days
after
the
Peace
was
proclaimed
.
He
walking
abroad
,
openly
guarded
with
a
Spanish
Train
,
would
assist
at
the
Publick
Councils
,
Prasline
much
protesting
to
the
contrary
,
but
in
vain
,
for
all
Ages
,
Sexes
,
Ranks
were
Hispaniolized
.
Nor
seemed
this
a
Cessation
of
Arms
,
but
a
passing
forward
to
more
desperate
Councils
.
There
was
no
end
of
reviling
Espernon
.
Those
that
had
been
banished
for
their
moderation
,
were
not
re-admitted
.
Villemont
that
came
thither
by
the
Kings
Order
,
is
assaulted
.
His
Coach
torn
:
and
had
he
not
stepped
into
the
Fort
at
Libourne
,
in
his
return
from
Agennois
,
that
prudent
man
had
perished
.
The
Kings
money
is
seized
;
and
the
Debenters
contracted
for
carrying
on
the
seditious
War
,
are
paid
off
.
Thus
was
ashes
raked
over
the
âembers
,
which
must
shortly
break
forth
again
into
flames
.
Thus
much
may
more
than
suffice
to
have
spoken
of
Bourdeaux
:
where
was
a
respit
indeed
from
Hostility
and
Arms
;
but
an
unfound
Peace
,
and
a
grudging
indignation
breaking
out
of
minds
full
swollen
,
which
seemed
to
be
hatching
some
farther
unexpected
mischief
.
During
this
time
the
Abbot
de
la
Riviere
minding
his
Purple
Gown
,
as
if
that
had
been
the
only
concern
of
the
State
,
put
the
Court
in
trouble
.
Now
what
was
more
difficult
than
to
compass
that
without
the
good
will
of
Mazarine
,
who
though
he
promised
to
do
him
all
good
offices
imaginable
,
yet
by
certain
counterworking
springs
in
the
mind
of
the
Pope
,
undid
again
all
that
he
seemed
to
be
so
earnestly
a
doing
.
The
Abbot
of
Riviere
,
either
never
sounded
those
depths
,
or
made
as
if
he
had
not
.
He
allowed
of
Congratulations
,
as
though
he
had
been
Cock-sure
of
the
Promotion
;
which
no
body
thought
of
but
himself
,
nor
the
Taylor
born
,
who
should
cut
out
his
Cardinals
Gown
;
yet
was
he
admitted
among
the
Ministers
of
the
Conclave
,
a
consolation
of
the
Robe
long
in
coming
:
and
to
the
end
that
Orleans
might
be
brought
home
again
to
Court
,
from
his
Seat
at
Limors
,
whither
Riviere
had
carried
the
Duke
,
making
anger
a
colour
for
his
lust
:
who
threatned
worse
matters
,
as
to
retire
to
Oxitan
,
unless
the
promises
were
made
good
to
Riviere
.
Conti
at
the
same
moment
openly
testified
,
that
he
was
resolved
to
take
Orders
,
and
ask
a
Cap
of
the
Pope
:
begged
of
the
Queen
,
that
she
would
please
to
intercede
for
him
;
whether
out
of
a
design
to
cut
the
Queen
out
work
;
or
whether
these
were
the
Artifices
of
his
Sister
Longueville
,
and
Rochefoucault
to
oblige
Riviere
to
them
,
if
he
should
stand
by
.
All
these
Incidents
greatly
perplexed
the
Court.
And
the
industry
of
Mazarine
most
eminently
appeared
,
in
that
he
so
neatly
could
extricate
such
growing
intanglements
.
The
cause
of
all
these
dissafections
was
Conde
,
who
at
every
turn
fell
foul
upon
Mazarine
.
Though
he
had
given
consent
to
the
Match
of
Mercâââr
,
would
again
cross
it
:
would
draw
off
Vendosme
with
fair
promises
to
his
party
;
he
would
see
that
he
should
get
the
Admiralship
without
stooping
to
such
an
unequal
affinity
,
that
was
wholly
unworthy
a
Prince
of
the
Blood
:
would
tamper
to
win
Cadile
too
over
to
his
Party
,
who
courted
the
other
Niece
of
Mazarine
,
so
that
he
might
put
him
off
from
the
Match
:
he
would
encourage
the
Bourdelois
not
to
recede
at
all
from
the
rejection
of
Espernon
:
the
Marriage
of
Candale
could
not
be
contracted
,
unless
Espernon
were
maintained
in
the
Government
of
Guyenne
,
and
the
Bourdelois
ranged
under
obedience
;
whom
Conde
did
openly
favour
in
the
Privy
Council
.
Then
on
the
other
side
,
he
contended
that
the
Provenzals
were
to
be
severely
chastised
,
and
the
Count
d'Ales
his
Cousin
German
not
to
be
deserted
in
a
just
cause
.
And
when
as
nothing
could
so
effectually
put
Vendosme
off
from
that
Alliance
,
as
the
denial
of
the
Admiralship
:
Conde
sets
his
Father
in
Law
Breze
to
set
his
own
pretence
on
foot
to
sue
for
the
Admiralship
for
himself
;
as
though
he
had
not
been
more
than
satisfied
to
comfort
himself
in
the
loss
of
his
Child
with
that
piece
of
money
which
had
been
on
that
account
bestowed
on
him
.
He
induces
him
too
now
drawing
towards
death
,
to
sell
the
Government
of
Anjou
to
Chahot
Rohan
,
a
Dependent
of
his
,
that
so
at
the
decease
of
his
Father
in
Law
,
he
might
dispose
of
that
Province
at
his
pleasure
.
Whenas
Conde
was
by
many
arguments
discovered
to
aspire
,
it
seemed
a
wonder
to
such
as
dived
into
the
secrets
of
the
Court
,
that
he
did
not
earnestly
espouse
the
Slingers
Interests
.
Especially
since
that
after
his
coming
from
Compeigne
to
Paris
,
the
minds
of
all
were
strangely
affected
to
him
.
In
truth
,
then
,
if
ever
,
he
had
fortune
at
his
disposal
,
so
that
he
might
have
reached
with
his
hand
the
top
of
Authority
;
and
there
seemed
to
have
been
nothing
wanting
to
the
obtaining
the
supreme
Power
,
but
the
taking
in
the
Slingers
party
;
by
the
awe
of
whom
he
might
have
commanded
the
Parliament
and
City
,
being
the
only
man
then
magnified
in
the
Armies
and
Provinces
.
The
Prince
let
go
this
opportunity
;
either
questioning
the
constancy
of
the
Slingers
,
or
through
the
gallantry
of
his
Spirit
,
disliked
craft
,
nor
thought
it
necessary
to
take
such
a
compass
;
being
a
despiser
of
falshood
,
as
of
all
dangers
.
His
Heroical
Spirit
,
slighting
Mazarine
,
as
well
as
Corinth
,
expected
all
good
successes
from
the
Event
of
Affairs
,
which
he
thought
could
not
turn
but
to
his
advantage
.
Corinth
,
who
took
himself
to
be
capable
of
any
Fortune
,
and
plainly
was
Head
of
a
Party
,
courted
Mazarine
secretly
,
and
Conde
openly
,
with
a
design
of
crushing
one
by
the
other
,
that
so
himself
might
at
length
arrive
at
the
heighth
of
preferment
.
Mazarine
,
that
more
subtilly
than
any
man
living
,
pierced
into
those
Cabinet-counsels
,
would
cleanly
elude
those
Corinthian
Arts
,
yet
so
as
he
seemed
not
to
understand
them
.
Corinth
perceived
the
Policies
of
Mazarine
:
therefore
he
was
seriously
intended
to
joyn
with
Conde
,
by
his
means
to
pull
down
Mazarine
,
that
so
he
might
the
easier
proceed
to
the
ruining
Conde
himself
.
And
herein
Conde
is
not
to
be
blamed
,
who
,
whatever
himself
was
,
still
had
a
jealousie
of
Corinth
,
though
he
made
large
proffers
.
Whilst
this
Triumvirate
plot
the
destruction
of
one
another
,
yet
the
face
of
the
Court
seemed
calm
,
when
of
sudden
this
feigned
serenity
over-casts
,
and
breaks
out
into
a
storm
.
It
was
a
small
occasion
.
There
is
four
miles
off
Rouen
a
kind
of
a
slight
Sconce
,
which
goes
over
the
Seyne
with
an
arched
Bridge
,
and
is
thence
called
Pont
arche
:
proper
for
the
exacting
a
paultry
Tell
upon
Bolts
and
Barges
that
go
down
,
or
are
rowed
and
towed
up
the
River
with
Horses
.
When
the
Pacification
was
concluded
at
S.
Germans
,
Longueville
pretended
this
Fort
was
promised
him
,
and
that
by
Conde
,
who
had
requested
it
of
Mazarine
,
in
favour
of
his
Brother
in
Law
Longueville
.
[
The
Cardinal
had
this
wont
,
that
when
he
was
loth
to
deny
importunate
Petitions
,
he
would
give
his
assent
,
either
by
a
nod
,
or
for
the
most
part
in
suspense
terms
;
which
afterwards
,
when
he
saw
his
opportunity
,
he
would
more
plainly
deliver
.
In
the
mean
time
purchasing
thus
much
as
to
be
disengaged
from
the
present
pressure
.
Whenever
he
promised
down-right
,
without
any
circumlocution
,
he
never
was
worse
than
his
word
,
if
ever
plain
.
But
in
such
a
confused
state
,
every
one
interpreted
the
least
look
of
Mazarine
for
a
promise
.
From
which
misunderstanding
divers
sorts
of
inconveniemces
arose
:
till
having
got
the
quiet
possession
of
the
Government
,
he
taught
the
French
afterwards
better
to
understand
his
meaning
.
]
Therefore
Conde
requires
that
Pontarche
,
as
promised
to
him
:
Mazarine
asks
day
.
Longueville
presses
Conde
,
Conde
Mazarine
.
This
was
a
fair
opportunity
to
him
that
desired
to
break
.
The
business
was
not
of
any
moment
to
Longueville
,
but
he
sought
to
get
ât
,
only
to
hav
it
said
in
Normandy
,
that
there
never
was
any
stir
in
France
,
but
that
he
got
some
advanâage
by
it
.
Farther
the
matter
was
of
no
value
to
âhe
Cardinal
,
unless
it
were
to
gratifie
some
poor
Suitor
with
it
.
Conde
avows
himself
an
Enemy
to
Mazarine
;
and
that
he
will
never
come
to
wait
upon
his
Majesty
,
nor
enter
into
the
Court
as
long
as
that
Stranger
was
over
the
French
State
.
The
confluence
of
all
the
Nobles
is
at
Condes
House
,
after
the
humor
of
the
French
,
that
always
hunt
after
novelties
.
At
the
apartment
of
Mazarine
in
the
Kings
Palace
,
no
body
appearing
near
it
.
None
made
any
question
,
but
that
the
breach
was
incurable
.
The
Slingers
rejoyced
;
yet
did
not
offer
to
associate
with
the
Prince
the
first
day
,
who
took
it
somewhat
unkindly
,
that
they
stood
upon
the
Ceremony
of
being
asked
.
Therefore
he
draws
them
in
by
his
Sister
Longueville
.
It
was
no
haââ
piece
of
business
;
there
being
nothing
that
could
fall
out
more
to
the
advantage
of
Beaufort
and
Corinth
,
than
this
breach
;
who
judged
that
by
joyning
their
Interests
with
Conde
,
they
could
easily
heave
Mazarine
.
The
Prince
joyfully
gave
admission
to
the
Heads
of
the
Slingers
;
promising
to
do
his
stoutest
endeavour
to
return
their
kindness
with
advantage
.
They
engage
to
one
another
â
mutual
promises
:
all
which
was
presently
carried
to
Mazarine
by
Chabot
,
a
perpetual
Spye
of
all
secrets
.
This
is
certain
,
that
Beaufort
and
Corinth
did
upon
this
account
oblige
themselves
to
the
Prince
,
that
Mazarine
should
be
banished
,
and
not
abide
in
his
Ministry
,
though
rendred
lame
and
enfeebled
.
Condes
mind
was
not
so
,
but
he
would
have
the
Cardinal
broken
and
maimed
,
not
taken
off
,
nor
banished
.
Therefore
having
sounded
the
intention
of
the
Slingers
,
he
thought
it
more
adviseable
to
oblige
Mazarine
to
himself
than
them
.
Thus
growing
more
moderate
in
his
passion
,
and
placable
,
he
yielded
to
be
wrought
upon
by
Mazarine
within
few
days
;
whose
breast
then
first
of
all
did
entertain
a
firm
and
unmoveable
resolution
of
throwing
Conde
into
Prison
,
from
whom
there
was
no
better
to
be
expected
,
than
an
imperious
course
of
life
,
whereby
he
would
hold
the
prime
Minister
under
his
devotion
(
not
as
his
Servant
,
but
as
a
ââained
Slave
)
to
tug
and
drudge
at
his
pleasure
:
which
being
highly
derogatory
to
the
King
and
Queen
,
the
Cardinal
could
not
digest
.
To
put
this
in
execution
,
secrecy
and
subtility
were
needful
:
principally
must
Orleans
be
made
a
Party
;
and
the
Slingers
brought
in
by
any
means
.
But
before
we
relate
the
whole
train
of
this
action
,
some
particulars
remain
to
be
recited
.
In
the
first
place
Mazarine
makes
his
peace
with
Conde
,
descending
to
the
most
humble
satisfactions
.
Pontarche
is
promised
Longueville
within
two
months
;
for
which
Orleans
passeth
his
word
.
Other
Concessions
too
were
made
,
which
are
not
proper
to
mention
here
.
Conde
puffed
up
with
this
prosperous
success
,
judges
the
same
course
is
to
be
taken
for
the
future
of
extorting
,
what
could
be
desired
from
Mazarine
,
who
must
fear
,
or
else
would
be
feared
.
It
is
commonly
given
out
by
the
Flatterers
of
Conde
,
that
the
Prince
had
found
out
the
true
way
of
handling
the
Cardinal
,
by
dealing
roughly
with
him
.
The
Duke
of
Richlieu
,
the
grand
Nephew
by
the
Sisters
side
,
of
the
great
Armand
,
having
failed
of
the
hopes
of
matching
with
the
Daughter
of
Chevreuse
;
and
testified
his
resentment
in
a
youthful
manner
,
for
his
being
repulsed
aâ
Madame
Longuevilles
,
she
thinking
the
opportunity
was
to
be
embraced
of
gratifying
her
friend
,
puts
him
,
whilst
he
was
in
his
discontent
,
upon
Catharine
Poussarte
,
Vigenoise
,
the
Relict
of
the
Marquess
of
Pontois
Albret
,
no
surpassing
Beauty
,
yet
not
unhandsom
.
Richlieu
of
a
sudden
fell
so
passionately
in
love
with
her
,
as
that
immediately
he
concluded
upon
Articles
of
Marriage
.
And
because
this
could
not
be
liked
at
Court
,
though
it
were
done
,
they
agree
upon
a
place
for
consummating
the
work
.
None
seemed
more
convenient
then
Trie
,
which
is
a
Palace
of
Longuevilles
,
fourteen
miles
out
of
Town
.
The
matter
is
not
discovered
to
the
Duke
of
Longueville
,
but
only
to
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
who
accommapanied
the
Bride
and
Bridegroom
to
the
place
himself
in
person
,
and
assisted
at
the
Solemnity
;
without
taking
any
notice
of
the
Cardinal
,
who
had
designed
Richlieu
for
one
of
his
Nieces
:
nor
of
Longueville
,
who
had
reason
to
think
himself
injured
:
but
what
is
most
observable
,
in
contempt
of
a
Custom
,
which
hath
the
nature
of
a
Law
,
That
none
of
the
Nobles
may
marry
,
without
first
by
way
of
Honour
acquainting
the
King
with
it
.
I
waited
upon
Mazarine
,
not
by
order
of
Conde
,
but
Madame
Longueville
,
to
acquaint
him
with
the
whole
matter
,
after
it
was
done
.
He
having
set
his
looks
in
a
dissembling
posture
,
as
his
fashion
was
,
made
answer
;
Whether
the
Contract
were
lawfully
made
or
no
,
that
must
be
decided
by
the
proper
Judges
;
nor
was
it
for
him
to
interpose
in
a
matter
,
wherewith
he
had
not
been
at
all
made
acquainted
.
And
having
designed
one
of
his
Nieces
for
the
Duke
of
Richlieu
,
out
of
a
thankful
remembrance
of
his
obligations
to
his
Uncle
,
He
said
with
a
smile
,
Tha
ăâă
his
opinion
his
Niece
was
not
inferior
to
Katherine
Poussart
.
In
earnest
,
I
could
not
discern
that
he
was
in
passion
;
such
a
command
he
had
of
his
âook
and
language
all
his
life
time
.
Yet
was
he
inwardly
exulcerated
in
his
spirit
,
that
Conde
would
âever
desist
his
old
practices
.
Hereupon
he
not
only
persists
in
his
design
of
imprisoning
the
Prince
,
but
resolves
to
hasten
it
;
being
plainly
satisfied
,
that
he
made
this
but
a
step
âo
proceed
to
farther
indignities
.
Longueville
reâenting
the
affront
,
takes
advice
to
relinquish
all
ânterests
with
Conde
,
and
resign
himself
up
entirely
âo
the
disposal
of
the
Queen
and
Mazarine
.
And
ân
truth
he
had
need
of
such
Protectors
to
recover
his
liberty
:
his
Wife
being
grown
intolerable
,
and
âe
not
able
to
bring
her
under
any
rule
,
by
reason
âhe
was
abetted
by
Conde
.
He
humbly
begs
of
the
Queen
and
Mazarine
in
my
presence
,
pardon
for
his
part
offences
;
promising
for
the
future
his
duâitiful
Allegiance
in
opposition
to
all
men
whatsoever
.
The
Cardinal
gave
no
credit
to
Longuevilles
professions
,
and
the
issue
verified
his
judgment
.
for
the
Mother
of
Conde
,
desirous
to
preserve
a
right
understanding
in
her
Family
,
having
suspicion
of
the
discontent
,
so
througly
reconciled
her
Son
,
and
Son
in
Law
together
,
that
Longueville
did
as
faithfully
promise
Conde
his
service
,
as
he
had
done
âhe
Queen
and
Mazarine
that
day
before
.
Which
being
presently
revealed
to
Mazarine
by
Chabot
,
did
quite
take
off
his
affections
from
Longueville
:
and
so
much
the
more
,
because
at
the
same
time
he
had
informed
the
Abbot
of
Riviere
of
his
imminent
danger
.
This
Mazarine
took
very
hainously
,
being
resolved
to
ruine
Riviere
,
that
so
he
might
come
the
fairer
at
Conde
.
Till
this
time
Mazarine
had
intended
to
sever
Longueville
from
sharing
in
the
Imprisonment
:
but
finding
him
so
fickle
of
his
word
;
after
resolved
to
involve
him
in
a
commââ
ruine
with
his
Brother
in
Law
.
I
return
to
the
Marriage
of
Richlieu
,
which
Conde
,
did
not
promote
,
but
to
make
it
appear
in
what
high
Authority
he
was
,
that
could
advance
or
depress
at
pleasure
;
and
that
he
might
make
the
Governer
of
Havre
de
Grace
to
be
at
his
devotion
.
Corinth
,
the
Head
of
the
Slingers
,
in
nothing
sluggish
,
but
always
intent
upon
every
occasion
,
having
got
a
lucky
and
fit
accident
,
dextrously
cherishes
the
matter
of
new
troubles
springing
forth
upon
occasion
of
the
Rents
yearly
payable
to
the
Creditors
of
the
City
,
that
is
,
such
as
let
out
their
monies
in
the
Chamber
of
the
City
at
a
certain
Interest
,
and
the
Principal
secured
,
as
having
Part
mortgaged
for
it
.
The
persons
interessed
complaining
of
the
ill
payment
of
that
Rent
,
a
Committee
was
chosen
of
six
eminent
Citizens
,
who
should
find
out
Expedients
for
paying
the
money
.
Amongst
the
rest
were
the
President
Charton
,
Joli
,
Bellote
,
and
Couture
.
Now
when
those
private
meetings
looked
towards
Sedition
,
the
prime
President
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
Mole
,
making
a
fair
Harangue
to
the
throng
of
Creditors
,
(
which
walking
the
streets
in
Troops
,
seemed
to
menace
disturbance
to
the
State
)
promised
,
that
he
would
ăâă
his
utmost
endeavour
,
that
they
should
be
fully
satisfied
by
the
Parliament
.
The
Rout
giving
out
threatning
terms
,
nor
enduring
to
wait
,
and
instigated
by
those
that
had
more
factious
spirits
,
than
wisdom
,
broke
out
into
ill
language
;
and
particularly
Couture
,
who
was
ordered
to
be
arrested
by
the
Pursuivants
,
which
attempted
in
vain
to
do
it
.
Hereupon
arose
divers
murmurings
.
But
nothing
seemed
a
fitter
opportunity
to
the
Mutineers
for
rising
,
than
if
any
one
of
the
Bouttefeux
were
slain
,
or
at
least
wounded
.
Therefore
as
Joli
was
riding
in
his
Coach
Chartons
house
,
he
is
shot
without
drawing
any
blood
;
a
Pistol
is
discharged
by
a
suborned
Fellow
,
who
having
pierced
the
Coach-leather
with
a
harmless
Bullet
,
immediately
gallopping
away
,
vanished
out
of
sight
.
Joli
crys
out
,
not
having
been
much
against
his
will
struck
at
,
but
through
his
own
falshood
:
That
good
Patriots
were
murdered
:
that
this
was
the
effect
of
Mole
'
s
menaces
.
Charton
highly
resented
the
attempt
,
as
making
it
his
own
case
:
though
both
were
secure
enough
,
both
from
the
danger
of
expecting
or
having
received
any
harm
.
All
this
was
but
mummery
to
make
the
City
take
up
Arms.
The
Heads
of
the
Slingers
were
,
glad
,
and
made
their
advantage
of
Joli's
wound
,
murmuring
,
that
honest
men
standing
up
stoutly
for
their
Countrys
good
,
should
have
such
violence
offered
them
.
What
security
was
there
in
the
City
?
it
was
no
longer
Paris
,
but
a
Den
of
Thieves
.
They
consult
who
is
the
fittest
person
to
set
the
City
in
an
uproar
.
The
most
likely
man
to
do
the
feat
is
pitched
upon
,
one
Eschalart
Laboulaye
,
a
very
popular
person
,
and
one
that
was
in
great
reputation
,
for
having
conveyed
provisions
into
the
City
,
in
the
time
of
the
Siege
.
He
therefore
incites
them
with
language
,
gesture
,
affection
to
take
up
Arms
;
advises
to
shut
up
their
Shops
draw
the
Chains
cross
the
Streets
,
and
all
other
like
actions
of
a
Town
running
frantick
.
Whether
it
were
that
Boulaye
out-run
the
popular
fury
;
or
that
the
Citizens
were
not
in
that
fit
troubled
with
the
overflowing
of
the
gall
,
all
was
husht
and
quiet
.
[
That
beast
is
not
always
in
the
humor
;
nor
can
the
common
People
at
every
moment
fall
into
its
frenzy
fits
.
This
Crisis
soon
passes
over
,
and
it
belongs
to
none
but
old
Crafts-masters
in
the
trade
of
Rebellion
,
to
nick
those
Articles
of
time
.
]
Yet
their
stomachs
swelled
,
and
one
might
have
seen
flocks
of
dissatisfied
persons
at
an
evening
in
the
Lanes
and
Streets
,
whispering
one
with
another
.
Conde
,
after
his
reconciliation
to
Mazarine
,
so
far
kept
his
word
to
the
Queen
,
as
to
exercise
declared
Hostility
both
against
the
Slingers
and
all
other
Mutineers
,
making
it
his
principal
business
to
cast
down
whatsoever
stood
up
in
opposition
to
the
Court
:
yet
in
such
a
manner
,
as
that
he
might
seem
the
prime
Actor
,
not
a
Minister
to
execute
what
he
was
ordered
.
So
at
once
he
both
highly
distasted
the
Slingers
,
and
in
maintaining
the
Royal
Authority
,
eclipsed
it
.
The
Slingers
,
before
they
rendred
themselves
,
and
interests
to
Mazarine
,
for
the
pulling
down
of
Conde
,
strive
rather
to
win
the
Prince
over
to
their
Party
,
to
make
him
instrumental
for
the
overthrowing
of
Mazarine
.
But
the
Prince
receiving
them
coldly
,
and
desiring
to
be
rid
of
them
,
as
most
unwelcome
Guests
:
then
the
Slingers
,
having
abandoned
all
hopes
of
prevailing
upon
Conde
,
resolve
to
surrender
themselves
to
Mazarine
upon
the
honourablest
terms
they
can
get
.
What
those
were
having
heard
them
diversly
related
,
I
can
therefore
write
no
certainty
.
Some
say
Corinth
was
promised
a
Cardinals
Cap
:
Beaufort
the
Admiralship
after
his
Fathers
death
,
passing
by
Mercoeur
:
and
a
sum
of
money
to
boot
.
Every
one
of
the
Slingers
to
be
considered
in
proportion
to
his
being
serviceable
.
The
Duke
of
Orleans
his
Daughter
to
be
married
to
the
King
,
&c.
Whilst
this
Intrigue
is
managed
with
great
secrecy
,
and
Conde
acts
more
fiercely
against
the
heads
of
the
Slingers
,
there
fell
out
,
or
was
contrived
a
new
Stratagem
,
the
most
proper
one
as
could
have
been
invented
to
exasperate
the
Prince
,
and
incense
him
against
the
Slingers
:
which
was
the
only
aim
Mazarine
.
For
whilst
the
two
Factions
were
implacably
divided
,
without
controversie
,
his
cause
prospered
.
Therefore
is
oyl
by
a
notable
device
poured
upon
the
fire
already
kindled
.
Conde
being
in
the
Louvre
,
is
advised
to
look
to
himself
,
that
there
were
a
knot
of
men
with
Arms
upon
Pontnoeus
in
the
way
to
Condes
Palais
:
that
he
was
waited
for
there
with
some
mischievous
intention
;
therefore
that
he
should
decline
that
Road
;
but
yet
to
try
the
conclusion
,
that
his
Coach
might
be
let
go
that
way
.
It
was
done
accordingly
:
Some
Rogues
setting
him
there
,
assault
the
Coach
;
and
kill
his
Lacquay
that
happened
to
ride
in
it
.
The
Prince
that
lay
behither
the
Bridge
,
at
a
Bath-keepers
,
receiving
advice
of
the
attempt
made
upon
his
Coach
,
falls
,
into
choler
.
He
crys
out
for
Justice
,
and
due
execution
of
the
neglected
Laws
.
Mole
President
of
the
Parliament
,
who
always
took
Condes
part
,
stoutly
maintains
his
quarrel
.
Orleans
that
was
now
dissaffected
to
Conde
,
comes
yet
to
the
Parliament
,
and
performs
him
all
exterior
offices
of
a
specious
kindness
.
At
every
turn
importunes
the
Judges
in
his
favour
.
The
Queen
and
Mazarine
openly
detest
the
Fact
.
Some
were
of
the
opinion
that
Mazarine
did
not
work
this
design
;
but
Conde
himself
with
intention
of
overthrowing
the
Slingers
,
whom
he
might
this
way
most
easily
ruine
.
Others
repute
it
to
have
been
a
meer
accident
.
Now
if
there
had
been
a
perfect
understanding
between
all
other
parties
,
he
might
then
indeed
most
readily
have
destroyed
them
that
way
:
yet
certain
it
is
,
that
Witnesses
examined
upon
Oath
,
did
depose
,
that
they
had
heard
more
than
once
secret
whispers
and
broken
words
about
the
killing
of
Conde
.
However
the
matter
were
,
Mazarine
now
sure
of
the
breach
made
irreparable
,
thinks
of
ripening
the
design
of
his
Imprisonment
.
And
some
little
inkling
of
it
was
got
forth
by
I
know
not
what
presage
,
which
the
Prince
looked
upon
as
groundless
,
who
fancied
himself
Mazarines
great
Favourite
,
especially
being
put
into
strong
confidences
by
Tellier
,
and
sure
of
Orleans
by
the
means
of
Riviere
,
which
was
now
quite
out
of
favour
,
and
worn
about
him
in
the
false
reputation
of
being
a
man
of
business
.
Mazarine
disliked
the
spreading
such
a
suspicion
,
and
for
the
removing
of
it
,
presses
Conde
to
apprehend
Couture
,
expressing
that
many
discoveries
might
be
racked
out
of
him
,
by
which
the
Slingers
would
be
quite
and
clean
confounded
,
which
was
the
mark
he
pretended
to
aim
at
.
The
Prince
thanked
him
;
and
undertakes
the
business
of
providing
Troopers
and
Dragoons
,
because
Conture
was
related
to
live
in
a
house
hard
by
Porte
Richlieu
:
there
he
placed
a
Squadron
of
Horse
,
setting
a
Trap
to
catch
himself
.

for
the
banishing

whither

MAzarine
not
impolitickly
concluding
that
none
is
sooner
than
,
than
he
that
fears
nothing
,
made
use
of
Condes
security
,
the
most
usual
rise
of
Troubles
,
as
an
opportunity
of
his
Imprisonment
.
Therefore
at
first
he
admits
but
very
few
;
afterwards
more
,
to
whom
,
he
imparts
the
secret
,
issues
out
Orders
for
the
Execution
.
Prefixes
a
time
.
(
This
was
discovered
to
the
Prince
,
however
peremptorily
he
denies
it
.
)
But
now
the
Fates
prevailed
against
any
Counsels
,
and
had
utterly
blinded
the
eyes
of
his
understanding
.
For
so
it
falls
out
,
that
when
Fortune
is
minded
to
pull
down
any
man
,
it
perverts
his
Counsel
,
and
which
is
unhappy
,
causes
whatever
befals
him
,
to
appear
justly
to
have
come
upon
him
;
so
that
his
misfortune
is
interpreted
his
crime
.
Therefore
he
saith
he
cannot
believe
it
,
and
measures
the
opinion
of
his
being
in
favour
by
the
conscience
of
his
merit
.
But
there
was
no
farther
room
,
after
,
the
first
information
slighted
,
for
a
second
to
come
.
For
Mazarine
when
his
design
was
now
so
compleatly
laid
;
thinking
it
not
convenient
longer
to
defer
the
execution
,
sets
all
in
readiness
:
at
length
revealing
the
whole
matter
to
Beaufort
.
He
was
indeed
necessary
being
in
so
great
authority
with
the
common
People
,
that
if
any
Tumult
should
happen
to
rise
on
a
sudden
,
he
might
pacifie
it
.
At
first
Beaufort
stood
off
,
saying
;
That
he
desired
to
preserve
the
good
opinion
he
had
acquired
in
the
City
:
this
he
must
lose
,
if
he
should
cease
to
oppose
Mazarine
;
that
his
interest
lay
in
that
opposition
;
if
Beaufort
should
turn
Mazarinist
,
he
were
no
longer
Beaufort
,
but
a
shadow
without
a
substance
.
But
having
weighed
,
the
friendship
of
Orleans
,
the
Admiralship
,
and
a
certain
other
thing
offered
him
which
he
stood
in
need
of
;
he
rendred
to
prevailing
arguments
.
Conde
having
his
confidence
sufficiently
,
as
he
thought
,
grounded
on
the
faithfulness
of
Tellier
and
Riviere
,
despising
reports
,
prosecuted
his
Charge
in
Parliament
against
the
Heads
of
the
Slingers
,
assisted
by
Orleans
.
Never
did
the
Queen
,
never
did
Mazarine
so
highly
esteem
of
his
Conduct
;
never
was
he
more
kindly
,
never
more
honourably
received
.
He
applauded
himself
,
not
once
searching
into
the
Plot
,
of
which
no
body
besides
himself
ever
made
any
doubt
,
seeing
his
presumption
to
pass
all
bounds
.
Longueville
suspicious
,
lest
Mazarine
should
harbour
some
displeasure
against
him
,
visits
him
,
thinking
to
over-reach
by
his
sleights
the
most
discerning
person
in
the
world
.
Mazarine
made
shew
as
if
he
believed
all
that
was
said
,
appearing
not
only
pacified
,
but
friendly
:
Spare
,
saith
the
Cardinal
,
all
this
,
and
let
us
see
what
course
is
best
to
be
taken
,
that
you
may
find
the
Queens
grace
.
Then
he
filled
with
large
promises
his
easie
credulity
,
who
always
embraced
shadows
for
substances
.
At
length
came
the
decisive
day
(
it
was
the
18.
of
Jan.
1650.
)
on
which
I
waited
after
my
usual
manner
,
very
early
on
Mazarine
,
in
the
behalf
of
the
three
Princes
,
to
desire
somewhat
of
no
very
great
moment
;
afterwards
comes
in
Conde
,
who
whilst
I
make
my
address
to
the
Cardinal
,
and
dispatch
my
business
,
stood
whispering
somewhat
or
other
familiarly
into
Lionnes
care
;
as
I
was
going
away
,
Conde
speaks
to
me
to
desire
Longueville
to
come
thither
,
because
the
apprehending
of
Conture
,
being
under
deliberation
,
he
might
appease
the
rising
,
if
any
should
be
by
means
of
his
Cousin
and
friend
Corinth
.
I
went
to
Chaliot
,
a
little
way
out
of
Town
[
where
Longueville
lived
,
to
keep
at
distance
from
his
Wife
.
]
When
I
had
plainly
told
him
my
observation
of
the
approaching
danger
;
he
answered
me
calmly
,
That
it
was
possible
Prince
might
be
apprehended
;
but
it
was
to
no
purpose
to
warn
him
that
would
not
,
as
well
as
his
Sister
,
take
ăâă
advice
;
as
for
himself
,
having
but
the
day
before
made
his
peace
with
the
Cardinal
,
he
feared
nothing
.
We
came
to
Paris
,
whither
he
was
bound
in
all
haste
,
at
the
request
of
Beveron
,
who
had
desired
Longuvilles
intercession
to
Mazarine
for
his
Son
to
succeed
in
the
Government
of
Normandy
,
Towards
the
evening
,
Conde
waits
upon
the
Queen
after
his
usual
manner
:
and
having
heard
of
Riviere
,
unacquainted
with
the
design
,
that
the
Duke
of
Orelans
would
not
be
there
,
somewhat
startled
at
it
,
he
soon
conceived
that
the
defence
of
his
cause
in
the
Parliament
was
deserted
.
He
did
advisedly
absent
himself
,
either
with
intention
of
composing
the
storm
that
was
expected
,
or
that
he
might
not
look
on
the
Fact
.
Conti
and
Longueville
meet
in
the
Council-Chamber
;
where
was
present
the
Chancellor
,
Servienne
,
Tellier
,
and
some
other
honourable
Personages
of
his
Majesties
Privy
Council
.
Mazarine
was
retired
into
his
Chamber
,
having
carried
off
the
Abbot
Riviere
with
him
.
Guitalil
,
Captain
of
his
Majesties
Guards
,
came
earnestly
into
the
Council-Chamber
,
and
bowing
himself
to
Condes
ear
,
charges
him
in
the
Queens
Name
to
go
along
with
him
as
his
Prisoner
.
Cominges
doth
the
like
to
Conti
,
Cressy
to
Longueville
.
Conde
at
first
seemed
to
laugh
at
it
.
Afterwards
finding
Guit
ald
to
speak
in
earnest
,
he
then
turned
to
the
persons
present
,
and
said
,
The
Queen
arrests
me
by
this
Guitald
;
my
dutifulness
,
my
loyalty
hath
ăâă
deserved
this
;
not
to
mention
,
my
services
.
I
have
not
only
hopes
,
but
assurance
in
her
Majesies
Justice
.
I
desire
you
to
bear
witness
of
my
moderation
.
Hereupon
he
intreats
the
Chancellor
to
go
to
the
Queen
in
his
behalf
,
and
obtain
,
if
it
were
possible
,
a
Conference
of
her
for
him
.
He
desires
Servienne
to
do
the
same
with
Mazariââ
in
his
favour
.
Both
of
them
obey
the
Prince
.
The
Chancellor
returns
,
having
in
vain
attempted
to
speak
with
her
Majesty
;
Servienne
came
no
more
back
.
Mazarine
being
certified
by
him
,
that
the
work
was
done
,
declares
it
to
Riviere
:
who
muttering
,
as
if
Orleans
would
take
it
ill
,
was
then
plainly
told
,
that
nothing
was
done
but
by
the
approbation
of
Orleans
.
He
went
away
,
much
stomaching
it
;
and
when
he
offered
to
speak
to
Orleans
after
his
usual
manner
,
he
had
a
flat
denial
:
And
then
was
he
confidently
assured
of
his
being
undone
.
In
the
mean
time
Guitald
returns
,
bringing
with
him
twenty
Souldiers
,
who
scouling
upon
Conde
,
looked
as
though
they
were
prepared
for
some
bold
attempt
.
The
Prince
goes
along
quietly
:
but
Conti
could
not
digest
the
disgrace
,
but
fretted
,
and
well-nigh
threatned
.
Conde
pacified
his
Brothers
impatience
with
advice
and
his
own
example
.
Being
carried
down
the
Privy
Stairs
without
any
stir
,
they
are
put
in
a
Coach
,
Conde
,
Conti
,
and
Longueville
;
Cominges
,
the
Nephew
of
Guitald
,
never
stirring
from
beside
them
;
a
few
of
the
Kings
Horse
being
at
first
in
company
.
Miossain
waited
at
the
Porti
Richlieu
with
a
more
numerous
Troop
.
Thus
are
they
conveyed
through
by-ways
,
and
in
the
dead
of
night
to
Vincennes
,
without
any
commotion
appearing
,
although
the
Coach
overturned
,
and
threw
the
Prisoners
to
the
ground
,
rather
frighted
at
their
dangerous
fall
,
than
thinking
to
make
any
escape
.
[
I
am
not
ignorant
,
that
it
will
seem
like
a
Fable
,
that
there
should
have
been
so
much
courage
in
Mazarine
,
as
that
in
a
City
greedy
after
dissensions
,
where
the
friends
of
the
Princes
were
so
powerful
,
he
should
take
the
boldness
,
not
only
to
design
,
but
to
put
in
execution
a
work
so
full
of
nice
hazard
:
and
that
he
laid
all
his
project
with
so
subtle
and
shrewd
forecast
,
as
that
there
was
no
disturbance
in
the
effect
.
That
so
many
Dependents
of
Conde
,
so
many
of
Conti
,
so
many
of
Longueville
,
should
all
be
wrapped
up
in
such
darkness
,
as
to
sleep
sluggishly
over
their
miseries
,
not
once
daring
to
stir
,
after
having
so
often
vapoured
of
the
strength
of
their
Party
.
]
The
Slingers
run
in
scattering
Troops
about
the
City
,
as
though
they
had
obtained
a
great
Prize
;
Beaufort
with
the
principal
.
The
streets
were
all
over
light
with
Bonfires
,
in
token
of
the
publick
Joy
:
in
memory
,
they
would
be
thought
,
of
the
Siege
of
Paris
;
whenas
Conde
,
unaware
of
the
Fates
,
without
any
presage
of
mind
,
girt
in
with
a
straight
Leagure
,
so
friendly
,
so
favouring
a
City
,
and
wasted
the
neighbour
Villages
,
driving
all
the
Pastures
,
and
laying
the
Country
desolate
.
The
Queen
sitting
up
till
late
that
night
,
waited
for
the
issue
of
the
Action
,
and
reckoned
upon
every
movement
,
as
being
in
a
doubtful
state
betwixt
hope
and
fear
.
The
same
did
Orleans
.
When
the
work
was
done
,
the
greatness
of
its
nature
was
perceived
.
At
length
comes
News
of
their
safe
arrival
at
Vincennes
,
where
being
thrust
into
a
Tower
,
all
three
Princes
in
one
Chamber
,
had
lain
all
night
supperless
on
the
floor
,
unless
Rantzow
(
thrown
thither
before
by
Condes
means
)
forgetting
the
old
grudge
,
had
sent
them
in
some
Bottles
of
Wine
,
store
of
which
he
never
was
without
;
and
some
Victuals
or
other
.
Walls
on
the
left
hand
damp
,
and
of
a
loathsom
scent
,
to
make
the
place
of
a
strength
not
to
be
forced
.
The
Vault
is
bound
with
stone
Arches
,
hideous
for
darkness
;
the
room
nasty
and
horrible
.
The
Princes
lying
awake
,
as
is
usual
in
such
a
case
,
held
divers
discourses
;
How
Mazarine
had
put
a
trick
upon
their
credulity
:
not
only
that
the
imprisonment
was
grievous
,
but
the
disgrace
joyned
with
the
restraint
;
so
many
hopes
cut
short
;
and
the
insultation
of
their
Enemies
.
Here
Longueville
put
in
a
true
prophecy
.
The
Sling
,
saith
he
,
hath
thrown
as
in
hither
,
and
the
Sling
will
fetch
us
out
again
.
The
same
night
was
John
Perauld
taken
,
and
shortly
after
cast
into
the
same
Dungeon
,
suffered
for
his
unspotted
faithfulness
,
having
this
accession
of
glory
,
that
having
been
a
true
Servant
of
the
Royal
Family
,
whose
Interest
he
had
always
made
his
own
,
sharing
in
their
fortune
,
he
was
involved
in
the
same
Fate
.
My self
too
,
I
suppose
,
escaped
because
I
was
beneath
their
anger
,
while
they
were
taken
up
in
Actions
of
the
highest
nature
.
When
word
was
brought
to
Condes
Mother
of
her
Sons
disgrace
,
she
was
overwhelmed
with
such
passion
of
heart
,
as
she
almost
fell
down
dead
in
the
hands
of
the
standers-by
.
A
Lady
born
of
the
great
Montmorancyââ
carried
about
her
the
haughtiness
of
their
Spirits
,
&
having
been
exercised
with
variety
of
Fortunes
,
because
she
could
not
have
looked
for
such
a
Cross
,
neither
could
she
stand
up
under
it
.
After
divers
essays
to
procure
her
Childrens
liberties
,
at
length
broken
with
affliction
,
never
more
coming
to
the
fight
of
them
,
within
a
few
months
ended
her
days
with
discontent
.
The
Dutchess
of
Longueville
transported
more
with
grief
for
her
Brothers
than
her
Husband
,
hearing
of
the
misfortune
,
fell
on
the
ground
,
and
did
farther
with
her
lamentations
defile
that
night
,
which
had
been
stained
with
so
cruel
an
action
.
The
Mother
and
Daughter
were
both
perswaded
,
that
fatal
and
extreme
danger
hung
over
the
Prisoners
:
and
that
they
would
not
have
presumed
to
go
so
far
as
this
,
who
had
not
determined
to
proceed
to
the
uttermost
.
The
Queen
commands
Condes
Mother
to
depart
the
Town
:
and
confines
Madame
Longueville
to
the
Palais
Royal.
The
former
having
obtained
leave
,
shuts
her self
up
three
days
in
the
Carmelites
Cloister
;
from
hence
she
retires
to
Chantilly
with
her
Daughter
in
Law
,
and
Enguien
,
Condes
Son
,
The
latter
is
conveyed
away
by
the
artifices
of
the
Keeper
of
the
Palais
,
and
with
Rochefoucault
her
Guide
,
escapes
into
Normandy
to
her
Husbands
friends
to
try
their
constancy
.
The
Mother
had
resolved
that
black
night
,
to
go
about
Paris
,
to
practise
her
Sons
Partisans
,
and
raise
the
City
:
but
hearing
that
all
runs
cross
;
that
Corinth
and
Beaufort
went
triumphing
about
the
Town
;
that
Bonfires
Were
kindled
in
testimony
of
the
publick
Joy
;
she
could
not
hold
crying
.
Grievously
she
complained
of
the
Queen
:
but
the
Queens
heart
being
inflexible
and
obdurate
against
all
prayers
,
Madam
Condes
tears
were
shed
in
vain
.
A
deep
Lethargy
had
possessed
so
many
Nobles
,
that
had
so
often
made
fair
promises
to
the
Prince
.
[
Never
was
it
evidenced
by
such
clear
proofs
,
how
unsafe
are
all
Court-confidences
:
while
men
are
in
favour
,
they
are
highly
complemented
;
if
once
fallen
under
a
Cloud
,
all
tyes
are
broken
,
and
they
tamely
forsaken
.
]
Bouillon
slips
away
from
the
present
danger
,
and
buries
himself
in
the
retreat
of
his
Territory
of
Thurenne
His
Brother
Thurenne
riding
all
night
through
strange
ways
,
arrives
in
safety
at
Stenay
:
Moussay
,
and
the
other
Retainers
on
the
afflicted
Family
,
scatter
one
one
way
,
and
another
another
:
at
length
Stenay
was
the
Rendez-vous
of
all
of
them
,
and
Sanctuary
to
others
that
fell
off
from
the
King
.
Madame
Longuebville
tryed
many
means
at
Rouen
,
but
none
offered
her
their
assistance
.
The
very
Beverons
that
held
the
City
and
old
Palace
,
and
were
Lieutenants
in
that
Province
,
banished
her
that
Country
,
and
oblige
her
to
go
for
Diep
,
from
whence
,
how
she
came
forth
,
I
shall
afterwards
relate
.
This
was
the
Posture
of
the
State
,
upon
the
imprisoning
of
the
three
Princes
:
none
offering
to
stir
,
nor
so
much
as
to
bemoan
.
That
Conde
si
often
victorious
,
that
had
done
so
many
signal
sevices
,
should
be
mewed
up
in
a
Dungeon
!
Who
would
not
admire
his
Fate
,
that
after
so
many
Triumphs
,
should
fall
into
such
hands
?
a
Person
,
then
whom
few
have
been
more
worthy
of
the
chief
Command
since
Charles
the
Great
,
whether
you
consider
his
good
successes
,
or
his
great
courage
,
or
his
Spirit
equal
to
any
Fortune
.
The
French
Nation
would
have
been
judged
too
powerful
,
if
these
great
endowments
had
not
their
allay
of
contrary
qualities
.
He
had
no
violence
to
revenge
wrongs
;
nor
any
care
to
requite
courtesies
.
None
was
more
obliging
in
expression
,
when
his
need
prompted
him
:
after
the
danger
was
over
,
and
his
turn
served
,
.
all
kindnesses
were
utterly
forgot
.
The
Spirit
of
Conti
was
ruled
by
his
Sister
Longueville
.
The
Duke
of
Longuevilles
humor
was
full
of
shifts
:
he
would
taste
superficially
of
all
things
.
There
could
no
Party
rise
,
but
he
would
side
with
them
.
Scarcely
could
he
get
in
,
but
he
would
draw
his
foot
back
,
which
would
fit
a
thousand
shoes
.
He
might
have
sunk
several
times
;
but
he
happened
by
turnings
and
windings
,
to
get
off
clear
.
He
would
renounce
his
former
friendships
,
and
apply
to
new
ones
,
so
he
had
any
hopes
of
advantage
by
them
.
Would
court
men
in
prosperity
,
abandon
them
in
distress
.
Could
never
deceive
any
one
twice
,
his
cunning
was
so
palpable
.
Covetous
after
gain
,
to
this
intent
that
he
might
appear
to
have
been
a
gainer
.
He
imbased
the
endowments
of
his
mind
with
vain
Plots
.
To
be
sure
he
might
have
kept
far
enough
from
the
disquiet
of
a
Gaol
,
had
not
he
been
a
Turn-coat
,
and
by
being
true
to
neither
side
,
had
gone
about
to
oblige
or
to
delude
both
.
Yet
was
not
the
Age
so
wholly
barren
of
vertues
,
as
not
to
produce
some
instances
in
that
kind
too
.
Grammont
went
to
the
Queen
,
and
not
denying
his
passion
,
frankly
avowed
to
her
Majesty
,
that
he
was
afflicted
for
the
sufferings
of
Conde
:
mixing
,
withal
some
other
expressions
,
worthy
of
his
generous
boldness
:
which
he
afterwards
advisedly
supprest
,
because
of
the
Oath
which
he
had
taken
to
the
King
.
That
was
to
him
essential
,
always
to
act
gallantly
;
having
a
cheerful
,
yet
weighty
bravery
.
Mole
also
favouring
the
Prince
,
spoke
words
of
like
nature
.
Cominges
that
remained
at
Vincennes
,
being
called
home
,
Bar
is
set
over
the
guarding
of
the
Prisoners
,
who
discharged
his
Office
,
as
imperiously
,
as
unwarily
.
To
stop
the
censures
of
Fame
,
that
were
very
violent
,
the
Queen
sends
a
Remonstrance
to
the
Parliament
to
this
effect
:
that
Conde
did
not
demean
himself
any
longer
like
a
Subject
,
but
a
King
;
that
his
increasing
boldness
was
no
longer
tolerable
.
Conti
grew
high
upon
his
Brothers
Greatness
:
there
was
no
end
of
Longuevilles
Suits
,
he
must
have
what
he
asks
,
and
must
have
it
at
a
day
certain
;
farther
,
that
no
heed
was
to
be
given
to
his
word
:
and
that
he
was
held
in
prison
,
left
under
colour
of
Conde
,
he
should
make
any
Stirs
in
Normandy
.
To
this
the
Parliament
agreed
.
Mazarine
brings
into
sight
his
Nieces
,
that
had
been
locked
up
in
a
Nunnery
to
pacifie
Conde
.
The
Wife
of
Bouillon
concealed
in
an
insecure
corner
,
is
taken
and
shut
up
in
the
Bastille
,
having
the
liberty
of
the
Garrison
;
and
kept
there
till
the
Articles
concluded
with
her
Husband
at
Bourdeaux
.
These
passages
were
in
the
City
.
In
the
Provinces
,
Mazarine
watches
strictly
:
having
dispatched
Vendosme
into
Burgundy
;
Harcourt
into
Normandy
;
Hospital
into
Champaigne
;
S.
Aiguan
to
Bourges
,
to
secure
the
publick
Peace
.
Marsein
,
General
over
the
French
Forces
at
Barcellons
,
being
of
the
Princes
Dependants
,
is
taken
and
carried
to
Perpignan
:
a
Person
experienced
in
Martial
Affairs
,
of
great
reputation
,
at
first
making
some
offer
of
resistance
,
bore
his
hand
to
his
Hilt
,
upon
suspicion
of
some
rudeness
.
Afterwards
having
stilled
the
disorder
of
his
mind
,
he
yielded
himself
with
all
obedience
to
Joseph
Margarite
and
John
Marcand
,
to
whom
the
Kings
Orders
were
sent
.
All
care
for
the
promotion
of
Riviere
is
stopped
at
Rome
.
So
he
missing
the
hopes
of
a
Hat
,
goes
out
of
the
Town
,
increased
in
wealth
,
and
rich
benefices
:
having
been
at
first
in
favour
with
Orleans
,
for
the
pleasantness
of
his
humor
;
he
joyns
policy
with
facetiousness
;
so
steering
the
mind
of
his
Lord
,
that
he
never
miscarried
through
any
advice
of
his
.
He
never
put
the
Duke
upon
any
difficultties
,
knowing
that
he
had
not
abilities
to
go
through
with
him
.
Wise
men
have
admired
by
what
conduct
he
could
so
long
dwell
in
so
fickle
and
changeable
a
favour
.
At
length
the
Womens
insinuations
against
him
defeated
all
his
diligence
;
at
last
his
affection
to
Conde
overthrew
him
:
if
that
may
be
called
a
ruine
,
which
is
a
glorious
harbour
of
rest
and
honour
.
The
Queen
being
certified
of
Madame
Longuevilles
intentions
(
who
was
resolved
not
to
stir
from
Diepe
,
but
there
to
prepare
for
a
stout
defence
,
having
hired
Souldiers
to
that
purpose
,
with
money
by
all
means
raised
)
concludes
to
go
into
Normandy
,
which
lay
open
for
her
Entrance
,
With
sufficient
Forces
to
restrain
the
attempts
of
Madame
Longueville
.
The
whole
Court
comes
to
Rouen
through
a
Country
obnoxious
and
submissive
,
dissembling
a
friendliness
,
and
prone
to
take
whatsoever
side
,
where
security
and
profit
is
offered
.
Every
ones
interest
in
that
Quarter
is
the
sad
bane
of
true
affection
.
Amongst
so
many
friends
of
Longueville
,
purchased
at
so
dear
a
rate
,
and
with
such
artifice
,
not
one
stirred
.
The
Parliament
of
Rouen
freely
renders
to
his
Majesties
pleasure
.
So
great
is
the
peoples
policy
,
that
all
rejoyced
at
the
fall
of
Longueville
,
who
had
never
wronged
any
one
.
In
the
mean
while
his
Wife
endeavours
,
not
with
female
lamentations
,
but
with
all
her
power
,
by
prudence
,
counsel
,
and
language
,
to
put
Montigny
the
Governor
and
the
Diepois
into
a
posture
of
stout
defence
.
The
people
refuse
;
and
affrighted
by
the
Kings
approach
,
who
was
now
drawing
nigh
in
Person
,
and
by
the
awful
Presence
of
Majesty
,
conclude
upon
a
Surrender
.
Montigny
himself
talked
of
nothing
but
obedience
,
as
he
said
,
due
to
the
King
.
Commissioners
are
sent
to
treat
on
the
way
,
and
offer
their
Allegiance
,
declaring
that
they
owned
no
friend
,
against
whom
his
Majesties
Trumpets
should
be
blown
.
Plesse
Belliere
is
made
Governor
of
Diepe
,
Montigny
,
now
laying
down
his
Commission
.
The
Dutchess
of
Longueville
thus
abandoned
,
shifts
for
her self
,
and
flyes
,
making
her
escape
secretly
,
riding
on
a
pitiful
Jade
through
by-ways
,
without
either
hope
or
help
.
As
she
rid
along
by
the
Sea-side
,
she
lights
upon
some
Vessel
accidentally
,
on
which
she
embarques
with
some
hazard
.
Having
been
likely
to
be
drowned
,
and
hardly
saved
,
at
length
she
ventures
to
Sea
:
and
after
the
being
tossed
by
Fates
and
Billows
,
arrives
at
Rotterdam
in
Holland
,
distressed
with
the
want
of
all
neââcearies
;
at
a
hard
season
of
the
year
,
and
tempestuous
Sea
.
Her
body
brought
up
tenderly
,
could
hold
out
all
this
.
From
hence
dated
comes
from
her
a
long
Epistle
to
the
Queen
,
That
she
was
through
infinite
dangers
arrived
at
Holland
,
having
been
obliged
to
venture
her
life
on
the
waves
for
avoiding
the
cruelty
of
Mazarine
,
who
sought
her
ruine
at
Paris
,
and
now
newly
in
Normandy
,
breathing
out
the
destruction
of
the
Condes
House
.
She
beseeches
her
Majesty
to
pity
her
condition
and
sinking
Family
;
that
if
there
be
any
room
for
Petition
,
she
would
be
intreated
to
conceive
a
good
opinion
of
her
,
and
not
suffer
her self
any
longer
to
be
inchanted
by
the
delusions
of
the
Cardinal
.
In
such
like
terms
did
this
afflicted
Princess
,
now
come
to
Harbour
,
disburden
her
oppressed
mind
,
as
is
the
custom
of
grief
.
But
,
finding
no
opportunity
of
advancing
her
Cause
in
Holland
,
she
pawned
her
Jewels
,
and
having
raised
a
sum
of
money
,
went
up
the
Maze
towards
Stenay
.
Whither
when
she
was
come
,
she
advised
about
making
a
League
with
the
Spaniard
.
Before
the
King
left
Normandy
,
he
changed
every
thing
after
his
pleasure
.
The
awe
of
him
ranged
all
under
obedience
.
The
Governors
of
Castles
,
that
had
been
Longuevilles
Creatures
,
were
turned
out
.
Castles
are
no
such
strong
Bars
,
as
the
Nobles
of
France
take
them
to
be
;
They
are
firm
against
a
little
commotion
,
but
flye
asunder
at
a
great
Choque
.
In
the
Borders
against
us
are
not
contemptible
;
but
in
the
Inland
Countries
of
no
use
.
Harcourt
is
made
Governor
of
the
whole
Province
.
Richlieu
,
presently
after
the
Contract
of
Marriage
,
had
shrouded
himself
and
his
Lady
in
the
Castle
of
Havre
de
Grace
,
obliging
the
Garrison
to
stand
by
him
.
The
King
summons
him
to
Rouen
;
and
when
he
sought
demurs
,
Mazarine
not
forgeting
Armandus
his
tricks
,
finds
out
an
Expedient
to
gratifie
the
Youth
;
and
advises
him
to
send
his
Lady
that
should
serve
in
her
Husbands
stead
.
She
comes
.
The
late
commenced
Marriage
is
approved
:
and
the
Honour
of
Dutchess
conferred
on
the
Bride
.
The
Castle
of
Havre
de
Grace
is
committed
to
S.
Amor
,
the
Lieutenant
of
Esguillon
,
which
wisely
now
as
on
the
like
occasions
complyed
with
the
times
.
During
this
S.
Agnan
doth
good
service
at
Bourges
.
He
storms
the
Castle
,
that
Palledium
of
the
City
,
whose
strength
lay
not
in
the
Works
,

prone
Expedition

By
this
it
plainly
appeared
,
that

take
a
very
ill
course
,
when
they
are
so
importunate
to
extort
places
fortified
,
which
have
no
strength
but
with
his
Majesties
pleasure

This
practice
so
often
condemned
,
is
always
retained
.
By
this
means
their
Creatures
are
preserved
from
starving
;
after
that
by
a
miserable
servitude
,
they
have
purchased
themselves
such
Nests

whence
they
may
afterwards
tyrannize

the
rest
are
in

Attempt

So
great
was
the
power
of
the
Slingers
,
that
they
brought
the
Queen
to
comply
with
all
their
Interests
.
The
very
principal
of
their
Designs
was
,
to
make
strong
applications
,
that
Seguier
might
be
removed
,
and
Chastelneuf
,
being
weary
of
his
long

afterwards
for

condition
upon
some
slight
and
frivolous
pretence

At
the
beginning

Majesty

he
is

great
applause

What
else
is

should
relye
upon
their
Dependencies

be
deserted

returned
again
into

In

As
soon
as
ever
the
King
was
out
of
Canon
shot
,
the
great
Guns
were
let
flye
,
and
some
killed
by
the
very
side
of
Mazarine
,
who
continued
to
give
Orders
amidst
those
dangerous
roarings
of
the
Canon
.
The
Commanders
in
the
Garrison
are
summoned
to
a
Rendition
,
and
agree
to
it
,
unless
within
a
prefixed
number
of
days
Relief
should
come
,
which
failing
,
they
surrendred
the
City
to
the
King
.
Whilst
these
businesses
were
acted
in
Burgundy
,
the
Mother
of
Conde
postes
into
Paris
,
and
there
lay
incognito
in
a
private
house
in
the
Palace-yard
:
till
unexpectedly
failing
down
at
the
feet
of
Orleans
with
abundance
of
tears
,
implores
his
mercy
for
the
Prisoners
.
The
like
submission
she
used
to
Beaufort
and
Corinth
.
Orleans
raising
her
up
,
and
comforting
her
with
good
language
,
as
one
that
neither
granted
,
nor
denied
her
Suit
,
requests
of
her
,
That
she
would
moderate
her
grief
,
and
not
prejudice
her
Sons
and
her
own
interest
by
unseasonable
applications
;
that
the
remedy
of
all
was
to
be
expected
from
time
only
.
The
like
did
Beaufort
and
Corinth
.
Those
those
that
are
Curieux
in
Court-affairs
were
from
that
day
forward
assured
of
the
future
liberty
of
the
Princes

The
Princess
Dowager
of
Conde
presents
a
Petition
to
the
Parliament
by
Lande
Payen
,
who
couragiously
read
it
in
the
House
.
The
substance
of
it
was
a
charging
Mazarine
upon
divers
Articles
,
and
striking
at
the
Queen
through
his
side
.
She
is
commanded
by
Act
of
Parliament
to
leave
the
Town
:
but
petitioning
for
the
respit
of
three
or
two
days
to
put
her
affairs
in
order
for
her
last
parting
,
nay
at
the
last
of
one
,
and
having
obtained
that
,
she
goeth
for
Berne
:
from
whence
also
being
banished
by
Order
from
the
King
,
she
lodged
at
the
House
of
Perault
at
Angerville
,
opprest
with
melancholy
:
and
at
last
went
to
Chastillon
,
a
Town
ennobled
by
the
Seat
of
Gaspar
Colline
,
and
the
death
of
this
Charlotte
.
For
there
deceased
this
most
Noble
Lady
,
as
well
worthy
of
having
Conde
to
be
her
Husband
,
as
Mommorancy
for
her
Father
.
Henry
IV.
taken
with
her
Beauty
,
had
resolved
to
carry
her
from
her
Husband
,
it
is
a
question
,
whether
against
her
consent
.
Courteous
she
was
,
beyond
the
rule
of
strict
Matrons
.
Self-loving
,
to
excess
:
A
fond
Mother
;
but
indifferent
wife
,
yet
excellently
matched
with
the
Arts
of
her
Husband
,
and
high
Spirit
of
her
Son
.
The
Dutchess
of
Longueville
at
Stenay
entred
into
League
with
the
Spaniard
.
Gabriel
of
Toledo
,
in
the
behalf
of
Leopold
,
offered
the
Lady
large
conditions
,
that
is
,
a
weak
assistance
,
pompous
indeed
for
number
,
but
for
fighting
inconsiderable
.
She
unacquainted
with
the
danger
,
did
more
than
once
suffer
for
flying
to
the
Spanish
Craft
.
Thureââââ
the
undoubted
issue
of
la
Tour
,
would
keep
to
himself
the
whole
credit
of
the
War
.
The
Dutchess
of
Longueville
endures
patiently
what
she
could
not
tell
how
to
remedy
.
She
did
always
sustain
the
assistance
of
a
manly
Charge
.
This
was
the
substance
of
the
Confederacy
,
That
they
would
engage
to
fight
together
under
the
conduct
of
his
Catholick
Majesty
,
till
the
conclusion
of
Peace
,
and
enlargement
of
the
Princes
,
That
the
Cities
and
Castles
taken
standing
upon
the
Frontiers
,
should
fall
to
the
Spaniards
;
the
inland
ones
to
the
Confederates
;
and
both
one
and
the
other
rendred
upon
the
settlemeut
of
Peace
:
That
the
Spaniard
should
furnish
in
5000
Horse
ăâă
Foot
at
his
own
charges
,
and
find
their
provision
also
,
under
a
Spanish
Commander
,
who
should
yet
be
subject
to
Thurenne
Captain
General
of
that
whole
Army
by
the
King
of
Spains
Commission
.
That
a
certain
sum
of
money
be
monthly
paid
Madame
Longueville
and
Thurenne
wherewith
to
defray
their
respective
Forces
and
Families
.
That
all
the
Garrisons
upon
the
Frontiers
under
the
Command
of
Conde
,
be
gives
up
to
the
Spaniard
,
till
the
Peace
be
established
,
and
Princes
released
.
The
Spaniards
most
aimed
at
Bellegarde
,
which
being
now
come
into
the
Royalists
hands
,
could
not
by
these
Articles
fall
under
their
power
.
Madam
Longueville
had
stood
peremptorily
upon
reserving
Stenay
to
her self
;
nor
could
she
ever
yield
to
come
to
Brussels
,
where
she
could
not
have
resided
without
the
loss
of
her
liberty
.
These
things
past
on
the
Borders
of
Champaigne
;
whilst
Bouillon
and
Rochefoucault
drive
on
no
less
designs
at
Bourdeaux
,
which
was
another
Head-quarter
of
the
associated
Provinces
.
And
as
Thurenne
influenced
the
Counsels
of
Madam
Longueville
,
so
his
Brother
Bouillon
,
the
chief
Confident
of
the
Princess
of
Conde
,
disposed
of
the
Affairs
in
Guyenne
at
his
pleasure
:
the
rest
were
but
properties
.
He
having
drawn
her
and
her
Son
Enguien
from
Monterotondo
,
conveyed
them
through
Auvergne
(
whilst
Espernon
,
and
the
Chevalier
Valet
,
in
vain
opposed
their
passage
)
upon
the
disadvantage
of
grounds
,
either
cunningly
giving
the
Go-by
,
or
successfully
fighting
,
till
they
came
too
near
Bourdeaux
.
It
was
disputed
,
whether
they
should
be
admitted
into
the
Town
:
At
length
remembring
Conde
,
the
principal
cause
of
whose
Imprisonment
was
attributed
to
his
taking
the
part
of
Bourdeaux
,
they
open
their
Heart
and
Gates
to
Enguien
and
his
Mother
,
letting
in
none
besides
their
menial
Servants
.
Within
a
little
while
the
City
was
set
open
,
keeping
out
none
,
not
so
much
as
the
Spaniard
,
who
rejoycing
to
dress
his
wounds
at
the
fire
kindled
in
France
,
poured
in
oyl
,
and
laid
fuel
upon
the
flame
.
Mazarine
turning
his
watchful
eyes
on
every
side
,
daily
suffered
growing
inconveniencies
at
Paris
;
apprehending
more
danger
to
the
State
from
the
Artifices
of
the
Slingers
,
than
from
the
Confederates
,
or
any
foreign
force
.
The
Cardinal
,
under
colour
of
repelling
the
Spaniard
,
had
conveyed
the
King
to
CompiegNe
,
with
design
of
rescuing
him
from
the
jaws
or
the
Paris
Faction
,
which
was
plotting
more
dangerous
mischiefs
than
the
former
.
Rochefoucault
began
first
to
act
in
open
Hostility
.
Saumur
,
where
is
a
Bridge
over
the
Loire
(
a
pass
always
regarded
at
the
breaking
out
of
Civil
Wars
)
had
been
bestowed
upon
Cominges
,
as
a
reward
of
his
good
service
in
the
apprehending
of
Conde
.
Dulmont
Governor
of
the
Castle
of
Sonmur
,
loth
to
resign
,
acquaints
Rochefoucault
,
that
if
he
would
send
him
in
Auxiliary
Forces
into
the
Fort
,
he
would
afterwards
stoutly
hold
it
for
Condes
Party
.
Rochefoucault
,
who
was
now
preparing
for
his
March
into
Guyenne
,
having
gathered
out
of
his
Lands
at
Poictiers
and
Engoulesme
a
Band
of
Gentlemen
,
under
pretence
of
solemnizing
his
Fathers
Funerals
,
marches
away
speedily
for
Saumur
;
but
the
haste
of
Dulmont
in
resigning
up
the
Castle
,
prevented
all
their
designs
.
Rochefoucault
failing
of
that
hope
,
turned
his
thoughts
to
the
business
of
Guyenne
,
and
to
Bourdeaux
,
designing
to
gain
to
himself
S.
Simon
,
the
Governor
of
Blaye
.
Who
thinking
with
himself
,
how
much
he
was
indebted
to
the
late
King
;
upon
which
obligations
he
had
promised
an
unspotted
faithfulness
to
his
Son
;
and
withal
how
full
of
hazard
these
attempts
were
,
stopped
his
ears
.
Rochefoucault
joyning
with
Bouillon
,
having
dextrously
enchanted
the
Spirits
of
the
Bourdelois
,
enters
the
Town
,
and
presently
all
Visors
are
cast
off
,
and
Enguien
is
declared
Commander
in
Chief
of
all
the
Forces
,
and
Bouillon
with
Rochefoucault
his
Lieutenants
.
The
Spanish
succour
is
openly
implored
by
certain
Commissioners
,
and
the
fire
of
Civil
War
raised
,
only
Espernon
and
the
Chevalier
Valet
being
in
Arms
for
the
King
.
For
even
la
Force
with
his
Children
,
having
long
demurred
;
not
upon
the
matter
,
but
upon
money
,
at
length
took
to
the
disaffected
Party
.
Hitherto
have
I
related
what
past
on
the
one
and
the
other
side
after
the
imprisoning
of
the
Princes
in
their
favour
.
Now
to
return
to
the
Prisoners
.
The
first
eight
days
past
over
them
,
as
though
they
had
been
buried
alive
.
From
that
time
,
every
hour
were
they
informed
of
all
passages
;
either
by
a
false
Ink
,
which
was
rendred
legible
,
by
being
held
to
the
fire
:
or
by
Notes
put
into
Crown
pieces
,
which
were
by
a
rare
Art
made
hollow
for
that
purpose
,
the
metal
being
no
ways
conscious
:
or
by
a
Priest
,
who
whilst
he
was
saying
Mass
,
instead
of
the
Liturgy
,
read
them
a
new
Gospel
;
or
whether
it
were
that
Barre
did
ignorantly
deliver
the
Letters
were
on
the
back-side
,
and
innocently
betray
himself
,
although
he
were
very
vigilant
,
so
as
to
enquire
nicely
into
all
the
circumstances
;
and
free
from
any
corruption
,
only
contenting
himself
with
his
Gaolers
Fees
.
The
Cardinal
and
Slingers
fell
to
be
greatly
at
odds
,
so
as
to
betray
one
another
,
and
treat
with
the
Prisoners
,
about
Marriages
,
and
in
a
manner
sharing
the
whole
Kingdom
.
About
this
time
such
a
Plot
was
discovered
at
Vincennes
:
the
Garrison
consisted
of
200
Souldiers
,
forty
of
which
did
with
one
consent
conspire
against
Barre
.
As
he
was
at
prayer
in
the
Church
,
it
was
resolved
to
double-lock
the
door
on
the
outside
,
and
shut
in
him
,
and
such
part
of
the
Garrison
as
is
usually
assistant
with
Barre
at
his
devotionsâ
and
then
to
kill
such
as
were
upon
the
Guard
,
ăâă
stood
Sentinel
in
the
Princes
Chamber
,
or
befâââ
the
Chamber
door
;
to
set
the
Prisoners
free
,
aââ
bring
them
to
the
out-wall
of
the
Fort
,
where
pââ
of
the
Wall
should
be
demolished
,
and
they
received
by
a
strong
Party
,
waiting
upon
the
place
ăâă
convey
them
away
.
All
this
design
was
impartâââ
to
Condes
friends
,
of
whom
no
small
sum
of
monââ
was
gotten
,
as
a
reward
of
the
Action
,
but
all
wâââ
discovered
by
false
Brothers
.
The
appointed
dââ
too
was
revealed
;
upon
which
Beaufort
;
in
the
Head
of
a
strong
Party
of
Horse
,
hovered
about
tââ
Country
adjacent
to
Vincennes
.
Barre
having
eââ
ecuted
the
Conspirators
,
dismissed
the
French
Garrison
,
and
took
in
Switzers
of
unquestionable
faithfulness
.
The
King
was
removed
to
Compiegne
,
either
fââ
avoiding
the
insolence
of
the
Slingers
,
or
to
be
at
ânearer
Post
for
the
repressing
the
insults
of
the
Spaniard
.
Thurenne
having
received
the
promised
Forces
,
passing
through
Heynault
,
joyns
with
the
Archdulââ
and
Fuensaldaigne
:
and
having
united
theââ
strength
and
his
,
enters
France
with
an
hostile
Army
.
After
Chastelet
,
unprovided
of
meat
and
money
,
was
in
few
days
time
reduced
,
he
layes
Siegâ
to
the
City
Guise
.

of
Spain
hath
not
these
late
times
been
more
effectually
shewed
,
noââ
a
greater
train
of
War
:
whether
you
regard
the
Experience
of
the
Souldiers
,
or
the
Leaders
.
They
fought
stoutly
on
both
sides
:
but
Mazarine
,
who
had
so
happily
setled
the
State
of
Normandy
,
Burâââdy
,
and
Champaigne
,
and
had
subdued
the
stoutest
âosers
,
could
not
brook
that
Guise
should
be
ăâă
from
France
,
when
the
King
was
so
near
.
âherefore
laying
aside
all
other
business
,
and
levyâââ
money
in
every
part
,
even
disbursing
of
his
ââwn
private
means
,
he
supported
the
publick
Ocâsions
,
and
came
into
the
Kings
Camp
,
that
was
âdvanced
as
far
as
Vantacour
(
which
is
a
Village
a
âile
distant
from
the
besieged
City
)
in
company
with
a
gallant
appearance
of
the
Noblesse
,
there
he
âas
received
with
great
shouting
,
and
dispersed
âoney
to
every
private
Souldier
,
often
inculcating
,
âhat
the
French
glory
,
and
honour
of
the
Kingdom
lay
ăâă
ââake
.
Himself
would
spy
the
Enemies
quarters
,
and
dispatch
Peasants
into
the
place
,
to
advise
the
âââââeged
that
were
now
reduced
to
extremity
,
of
ââccour
ready
to
be
brought
to
them
.
The
Enemy
had
now
mastered
the
Town
,
pressing
hard
upon
the
Castle
,
whether
Brid
had
retired
with
some
choice
Souldiers
,
resolved
to
hold
it
out
to
the
last
.
Mazarines
first
care
was
to
cut
off
the
Enemy
from
provision
,
which
being
more
than
once
ready
to
come
in
to
them
he
intercepted
.
There
could
no
Convoys
come
but
from
Cambray
,
all
the
ways
to
which
were
blocked
up
.
Plessis
Praslin
,
in
the
absence
of
Harcourt
commanded
in
chief
:
there
were
with
him
besides
excellent
men
,
Hocquincourt
,
Seâerres
,
Villequier
,
Manvissier
,
Navaille
,
and
several
others
.
So
great
an
Army
,
already
possessed
of
the
City
,
was
obliged
to
raise
the
Siege
,
and
leaving
their
business
undone
to
face
about
towards
Cambray
.
At
which
news
the
Slingers
were
ready
to
burst
with
envy
.
And
the
rather
,
because
news
begun
already
to
come
forth
of
the
intended
Expedition
into
Guyenne
.
This
thought
came
in
their
heads
.
If
after
such
successes
,
Mazarine
shâââ
return
too
victorious
from
Bourdeaux
,
what
will
ăâă
come
of
us
?
The
Cardinal
puffed
up
with
prosperity
and
keeping
in
mind
the
Slingers
boldness
,
will
mââ
it
his
first
business
to
ruine
them
;
and
perchance
bâ
himself
to
release
Conde
,
who
exasperated
by
his
sufferings
,
will
fall
fiercely
upon
the
Occasioners
ăâă
them
.
Mazarine
so
highly
valued
Bourdeaux
,
thaâ
though
the
Spaniards
were
incamped
upon
the
Edge
of
Picardy
;
the
Slingers
enraged
,
Paris
waâ
vering
,
Orleans
,
who
had
refused
the
Expeditiââ
,
into
Guyenne
,
dissaffected
,
and
intending
to
stay
behind
in
the
City
,
yet
he
resolved
to
carry
thither
the
strength
of
the
Army
,
with
the
King
,
Esperâ
receiving
advice
of
the
motion
of
the
Court
,
make
preparation
for
them
:
the
like
doth
Meilleray
,
whâ
had
crushed
or
picked
up
the
unhappy
remains
oâ
Rochefoucault
at
Poictiers
,
to
joyn
all
the
Force
theâ
could
to
the
King
coming
in
Person
against
thââ
Rebels
.
The
Chevalier
Valet
,
of
a
sudden
surpriseth
the
Isle
of
S.
George
,
three
miles
distant
from
Bourdeaux
,
in
the
middle
of
the
Channel
of
the
Garronne
:
there
was
Canoul
made
Governor
,
whâ
should
interrupt
Commerce
,
and
shorten
the
Provision
of
Bourdeaux
.
Many
now
in
the
City
moââ
inclinable
to
repentance
than
wantonness
,
be
thought
themselves
in
how
great
dangers
they
weâ
involving
themselves
,
without
any
appearing
hopâ
of
deliverance
.
Yet
the
City
hurried
away
with
violence

up
Arms.

Work
about

,
which
at
this
time

very
well
âave
been
spared
;
the

places
are
fortified
.
ât

Works
for
the
most
part

imperfect
,

âânish

being
largely
promised
,
but
supplied

a
Rendezââ
with
Meilleray
and
the
Chevalier
Valet
.
There

fought
;
and
at
length
Bouillon
and
Rochefouââlt
being
worsted
,
retreated
into
the
Town
,
out
âf
which
having
recruited
,
and
increased
their
Forces
with
Burgers
and
Peasants
,
they
sally
forth
again
âstily
,
and
falling
upon
the
Royalists
,
push
them
âver
the
River
Jale
;
S.
Georges
Isle
is
recovered
,
âhere
unhappy
Canoul
was
taken
,
to
his
great
misâortune
;
the
Forces
of
Espernon
and
Meilleray
are
ââârtered
at
Grave
.
The
Bourdelois
could
not
have
greater
punishment
than
the
destroying
their
Vineyards
,
where
the
whole
years
expectation
is
ârustrated
,
by
the
depriving
of
the
Vintage
.
[
Noâhing
is
more
pleasant
than
that
Quarter
:
one
would
call
it
the
Hills
of
Nisa
:
to
which
not
the
reâowned
places
where
the
Baioe
and
Cumoe
play
the
wanton
,
nor
where
the
Lake
Benaco
raises
her
masâuline
waves
may
compare
.
From
thence
come
âhose
cryed
up
Liquors
,
which
think
themselves
to
âe
no
whit
inferior
to
the
Falernian
Clusters
,
nor
âhe
immortal
Trebian
,
if
the
Planters
may
be
âudges
.
But
there
is
a
profit
annexed
to
the
deliâacies
,
which
that
fortunate
Coast
furnishes
from
the
exporting
of
Wines
into
the
remotest
Countries
,
from
which
are
collected
no
small
Customs
âȘ
The
Spaniards
,
who
thrive
more
upon
the
Freââ
misfortunes
than
by
their
own
valour
,
viewâââ
with
a
joyful
eye
this
posture
of
Affairs
,
send
ăâă
Bourdeaux
Joseph
Osorio
,
not
so
much
laden
wiââ
money
,
as
with
promises
.
The
sense
of
the
Spaââ
Council
was
the
same
,
as
ever
,
to
cherish
,
not
queââ
the
division
;
to
broil
Bourdeaux
with
a
slack
firâ
by
a
deceitful
cure
to
render
the
sore
of
the
State
iââârable
.
There
were
not
wanting
some
Hispaâââzed
Tempers
,
that
perswaded
the
people
they
were
not
to
look
for
any
mercy
,
and
put
them
forward
upon
the
most
desperate
courses
;
fearing
what
they
had
deserved
;
or
recruiting
their
private
indigence
upon
the
publick
Calamities
,
or
loving
Troubles
for
Troubles
sake
,
out
of
the
malignancy
of
their
disposition
.
It
appeared
an
unseemly
thing
that
a
City
should
be
destroyed
,
not
having
shoââ
off
the
yoke
,
and
still
obeying
its
natural
Soveraign
,
upon
no
other
occasion
,
than
because
it
disliked
Mazarine
and
Espernon
to
usurp
over
them
:
again
for
Osorio
to
walk
along
in
it
,
with
Spanish
pride
,
and
in
a
manner
give
Laws
,
where
the
lawful
Prince
was
hardly
obeyed
,
seemed
intolerable
to
all
.
The
purpose
of
the
Faction
was
politick
,
to
dismiss
Osorio
with
his
Vessels
,
still
trucking
underhand
,
and
keeping
up
a
secret
Correspondence
for
the
future
.
The
Spaniard
went
his
way
rejoycing
that
he
had
kindled
such
a
light
fire
;
and
had
sowed
that
ill
seed
,
which
,
he
thought
,
would
spring
up
.
The
Assembly
of
the
House
at
Bourdeaââe
dispatches
Voisin
,
a
Member
of
theirs
,
to
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
to
demand
two
things
,
Counsel
and
âââstance
:
the
former
,
That
they
would
please
to
ââpart
,
and
direct
them
what
was
to
be
done
in
this
âstraight
for
appeasing
his
Majesty
,
and
obtaining
that
Guyenne
might
enjoy
the
benefit
of
the
Pacification
at
S.
Germans
;
and
might
not
upon
the
removing
of
Excise-men
,
suffer
more
intolerable
outrages
by
Offiâers
bearing
another
name
.
[
Foule
was
intimated
,
who
had
abused
that
Country
by
plundering
Houses
,
hanging
up
of
Peasants
,
and
such
like
cruelties
,
under
colour
of
gathering
the
Imposts
.
]
That
they
ăâă
ingenuously
confess
,
they
had
granted
the
Princess
of
Coâde
,
and
,
the
Duke
her
Son
liberty
to
come
into
their
City
:
but
what
Nation
is
so
barbarous
as
to
exâââ
out
of
their
Bounds
an
afflicted
Lady
with
her
young
Child
,
especially
the
Wife
,
and
Daughter
of
so
great
Princes
?
And
if
this
be
the
grievous
crime
,
they
confess
to
have
committed
it
:
and
to
have
sunk
under
the
weight
of
this
one
Delinquency
.
It
was
long
debated
at
Paris
,
whether
the
Letter
should
be
received
,
and
Voisin
have
admission
.
But
was
carried
for
admitting
him
with
the
Letter
,
which
yet
was
to
be
carried
to
the
King
by
the
President
Ball
,
and
certain
Members
of
the
House
,
chosen
Commissioners
,
with
instructions
to
petition
her
Majesty
in
the
Name
of
the
Parliament
to
pity
poor
ruined
Bourdeaux
,
and
lay
aside
all
intentions
of
pouring
out
her
anger
upon
them
:
that
she
would
pardon
their
ââailties
;
and
vouchsafe
forgiveness
to
her
people
that
had
miscarried
,
rather
through
rashness
than
disloyalty
.
Orleans
made
in
the
Parliament
a
large
and
eloquent
Speech
,
as
his
manner
was
,
That
Espernon
was
already
revoked
by
his
Majesty
,
ăâă
commanded
to
come
and
attend
at
Court
:
They
pardon
would
be
freely
extended
,
excluding
such
only
â
had
confederated
with
the
Spaniard
,
and
that
ăâă
things
inclined
towards
a
Pacification
.
In
the
mean
time
preparations
are
made
for
the
Expedition
to
Guyenne
,
which
had
been
long
discoursed
of
.
How
eagerly
the
Slingers
endeavoured
to
obstruct
it
,
may
be
hence
gathered
,
that
every
moment
they
started
up
new
occasions
of
disturbance
;
sometimes
pretending
,
That
now
the
general
Peace
was
to
be
concluded
,
and
no
longer
deferred
;
Now
the
Spaniards
might
be
brought
to
reasonable
terms
.
Perhaps
not
hereafter
.
As
though
the
whole
Council
of
the
King
of
Spain
stood
at
Mazarinââ
disposal
.
Anon
,
That
the
Princes
should
be
remâved
into
the
Bastille
,
under
the
custody
of
young
Broussel
:
(
For
he
had
got
that
charge
by
his
Fathers
Interest
.
)
Anon
,
That
a
Provost
des
Marchands
must
be
chosen
,
such
as
the
Slingers
should
like
,
being
an
Officer
of
great
concernment
to
whatsoever
party
ăâă
should
incline
.
Now
Mazarine
granted
the
Parisians
Monsieur
Fevre
,
a
Member
or
Parliament
,
being
of
the
Slingers
party
:
but
soon
obliged
him
to
himself
by
his
Cajolments
.
But
Beaufort
sought
occasions
of
breaking
with
Mazarine
:
for
being
called
Mazarine
by
the
people
,
he
was
much
troubed
that
the
common
Rout
did
not
follow
him
as
he
past
along
the
streets
with
their
usual
acclamations
;
therefore
imperiously
demands
by
Bellevre
the
Admiralship
,
as
though
his
elder
Brother
Merââââ
having
espoused
Mazarines
Niece
,
might
look
higher
;
but
that
his
Father
Vendosme
might
not
be
altogether
unregarded
,
That
he
should
enjoy
it
for
his
life
,
and
Beaufort
succeed
his
Father
.
Whereupon
Mercoeur
breaking
into
passion
,
threatned
his
Brother
that
he
would
decide
the
Quarrel
with
the
Sword
.
Here
the
Sling
would
not
be
quiet
,
but
murmured
farther
:
That
the
Bourdelois
should
be
assisted
;
it
was
intolerable
that
Mazarine
a
Stranger
,
should
make
so
bold
with
the
King
,
as
in
the
sultry
Dog-days
to
hurry
him
through
a
Province
scorched
with
heat
,
only
to
advance
the
private
Interests
of
Espernon
.
That
that
Journey
was
undertaken
for
no
other
ends
,
but
that
poor
Bourdeaux
might
be
sacrificed
to
the
revenge
of
its
incensed
Governor
.
That
the
glory
of
the
King
was
the
least
aimed
at
,
but
only
to
consummate
the
Match
between
Candale
and
his
Niece
,
who
must
have
for
her
Portion
the
blood
of
the
Bourdelois
.
When
that
work
was
over
,
he
would
march
victoriously
through
into
Provence
:
would
turn
out
the
Count
d'Ales
,
and
take
the
Government
of
that
into
his
own
hands
,
as
lying
next
to
Italy
,
Then
having
solemnized
the
Nuptials
of
Mercoeur
with
his
other
Niece
,
would
return
glorious
with
Triumphs
over
the
French
Provinces
:
then
having
first
trampled
down
Orleans
and
the
Sling
,
would
afterwards
bring
Paris
under
the
yoke
.
As
for
the
confined
Princes
,
he
would
either
keep
them
in
perpetual
imprisonment
,
or
so
enlarge
them
,
as
they
should
be
rendred
his
Bond-men
.
These
and
the
like
rumors
were
greedily
swallowed
,
as
people
are
always
more
ready
to
give
credit
to
the
worse
surmises
.
Nor
did
the
Commoners
prate
this
in
the
corners
of
streets
,
but
the
Principal
men
argued
after
this
manner
.
Orleans
being
easie
of
belief
,
and
now
incensed
against
Mazarine
contrived
what
he
afterwards
put
in
execution
,
by
the
instigation
of
his
Wife
chiefly
,
who
rejoyced
at
the
imprisonment
of
Conde
,
upon
the
single
expectation
that
her
Husband
should
by
that
means
come
to
be
Principal
in
the
management
of
the
State
:
which
when
she
saw
proved
otherwise
,
she
chose
rather
to
have
Conde
an
Equal
,
than
Mazarine
Superior
.
Orleans
being
desired
to
go
Captain
General
in
the
Expedition
into
Guyenne
,
not
only
refused
such
a
Commission
,
but
avowed
himself
to
be
of
the
opinion
against
his
Majesties
being
carried
thither
.
Chasteauneuf
wearied
with
having
lain
in
a
nasty
Prison
,
and
restored
to
the
Charge
of
Keeper
of
the
Great
Sea
,
seemed
to
have
no
other
aim
,
but
to
shape
a
safe
course
,
so
as
to
disoblige
,
neither
party
.
He
perswades
Orleans
to
conceal
his
mind
,
and
not
to
be
openly
violent
;
that
time
produces
many
things
,
from
thence
he
should
expect
whatever
he
desired
.
In
the
mean
while
he
might
do
well
to
wait
on
the
Queen
,
who
would
deny
him
nothing
.
Her
Majesty
adheres
to
her
resolutions
,
and
so
the
Journey
proceeds
.
Orleans
being
left
with
a
full
power
between
the
Seyne
and
Loire
,
the
Faction
much
bauling
at
him
,
for
not
having
removed
the
Princes
into
the
Bastille
,
which
he
had
often
and
earnestly
pressed
.
Orleans
abides
at
Paris
chief
Governor
,
assisted
by
the
Counsels
of
Chasteauneuf
and
Tellier
;
and
tellier
was
the
sole
Director
,
who
ordered
all
things
in
a
constant
Loyalty
,
through
his
whole
life
,
which
singular
Policy
and
Courage
,
having
gotten
an
opportunity
wherein
he
made
large
proof
of
his
abilities
,
and
steered
the
Ship
of
the
Common-wealth
amidst
the
raging
Billows
to
safe
Harbour
.
The
Court
,
without
making
any
stay
at
Poictiers
,
of
elsewhere
,
goes
directly
for
Libourne
.
Rebellion
hath
this
property
;
if
you
demur
upon
it
,
it
increases
;
The
publick
safety
injoyns
a
necessity
of
motion
,
because
nothing
is
more
ingenious
to
plot
than
Treason
,
and
there
still
starts
up
some
new
Inventor
of
Stratagems
to
vouch
their
designs
;
the
thoughts
of
the
Common-people
working
without
end
.
The
honest
Party
at
Bourdeaux
,
mixt
with
the
factious
,
did
what
they
could
to
moderate
their
boldness
,
and
the
violent
courses
of
those
who
thought
it
no
less
dishonour
to
yield
,
than
to
be
conquered
.
D'Ognion
keeping
close
in
his
Garrison
of
Brouage
,
spoke
ambiguously
as
standing
Neuter
;
Sansimon
at
Blay
continued
loyal
,
and
that
was
all
:
Commissioners
and
Mediators
of
Peace
went
forward
and
backward
,
from
one
to
the
other
side
.
All
which
the
mischance
of
Richo
and
Canoul
broke
off
.
The
former
was
Governor
under
the
Bourdelois
,
of
the
Castle
Vaire
,
lying
between
the
Garonne
and
Dordogne
,
who
being
obliged
by
Meilleray
to
a
Surrender
,
was
hanged
upon
a
Gibbet
set
up
at
Libourne
for
that
purpose
,
though
for
some
hours
he
had
been
held
in
false
hopes
of
pardon
by
the
Duke
of
Orleans
his
Daughter
.
The
rage
of
the
Common-people
of
Bourdeaux
broke
out
against
Canoul
.
He
having
been
taken
at
S.
Georges
Isle
,
which
he
held
for
the
King
,
was
held
Prisoner
of
War
at
large
,
till
the
Execution
of
Richo
being
heard
;
he
to
make
retaliation
,
by
a
like
turn
of
Fortune
,
rendred
his
innocent
Neck
to
the
Gallows
;
whereupon
all
fell
again
into
new
exasperations
on
both
sides
;
Meilleray
assails
S.
Georges
Isle
,
being
of
great
moment
,
either
to
the
plenty
or
scarcity
of
the
Towns
provision
;
Mottadelaise
makes
a
stout
Defence
.
There
was
the
Chevalier
Valet
shot
,
who
afterwards
dyed
of
his
wound
at
Cadillac
.
The
Bastard
of
that
Espernon
,
who
first
brought
the
Honour
into
the
Family
,
and
after
whose
decease
the
Fortune
of
the
House
,
reduced
to
one
Branch
,
was
extinct
with
it
.
Falvausse
receives
the
dead
Chevaliers
Commission
,
and
the
Isle
is
taken
,
to
the
great
prejudice
of
the
besieged
City
;
which
being
affrighted
with
so
remarkable
a
loss
,
and
also
with
the
Kings
Arrival
at
Bourg
,
intrenched
the
Suburb
Sansurine
,
and
the
Porte
Dicousse
with
sudden
Works
,
and
set
our
Vessels
upon
the
Garonne
,
which
were
only
Barks
.
The
publick
Consternation
as
disguised
under
no
Mask
.
Bouillon
,
Rochefoucault
,
and
the
Cabale
depending
upon
them
,
plotted
how
the
distressed
City
might
hold
on
in
its
Rebellion
begun
,
until
by
publick
or
secret
Articles
,
they
might
fish
out
somewhat
to
make
for
their
private
advantages
,
which
was
perpetually
their
end
.
Therefore
did
they
with
all
possible
care
,
and
anxious
earnestness
omit
no
industry
to
break
through
their
ruine
:
sometimes
producing
Letters
by
suborned
Courriers
,
as
though
they
were
come
from
Madrid
or
Guipuscoa
,
which
themselves
had
forged
at
Bourdeaux
(
the
affections
and
countenance
of
those
to
whom
they
shewed
them
,
were
marked
)
another
time
would
delude
them
with
some
other
specious
fraud
,
giving
out
false
reports
instead
of
true
;
as
when
they
sent
Potters
with
a
Guard
of
Horse
and
Foot
to
convoy
Chests
of
Money
filled
with
Patacons
.
Their
Rials
d'Or
were
plated
over
with
a
thin
leaf
:
being
within
of
a
base
metal
,
whilst
the
outside
glistered
with
gold
.
This
Pageantry
sometimes
smilingly
flattered
the
Princess
of
Conde
;
anon
that
excellent
Lady
was
ashamed
of
the
egregious
Imposture
.
How
beneath
her
Spirit
,
was
this
Fortune
!
The
Pattern
of
rare
Gallantry
which
she
held
forth
,
was
supprest
by
the
obstinacy
of
the
Faction
.
Only
the
two
Commanders
were
comforts
to
her
disgrace
,
that
is
the
dignity
of
the
Delinquents
.
She
young
Lady
was
scarce
entred
upon
the
Lustre
of
the
Court
,
when
of
a
sudden
she
was
overthrown
by
the
great
fall
of
her
Husband
,
from
whom
she
might
have
presumed
to
have
had
no
other
but
a
title
to
unquestionable
happiness
.
In
the
mean
time
her
private
Estate
looked
towards
ruine
,
being
shortned
in
bread
,
as
well
as
abridged
in
other
necessary
accommodations
.
The
âly
Spaniards
laughed
and
made
merry
at
this
mischief
;
and
politickly
taking
the
occasion
,
recovered
all
that
they
had
lost
in
Italy
.
First
d'Ognati
,
Vice-roy
of
Naples
,
re-inforced
by
Caracena
from
Milan
,
reduces
Piombino
and
Partolongone
destitute
of
all
relief
from
France
.
The
Dukes
of
Italy
rejoycing
because
those
Harbours
infamous
for
the
reception
of
Pirates
,
did
disgrace
the
whole
Sea-coast
of
Tuscany
.
It
had
been
as
easie
to
invade
all
Italy
,
as
to
maintain
places
that
must
be
provided
of
Victuals
and
Ammunition
only
by
Sea
.
But
this
some
Sling
at
Paris
was
a
troublesom
business
,
the
source
and
occasion
of
all
the
disquiet
,
because
in
such
a
shrewd
pinch
,
the
Spanish
Army
under
Leopoldus
,
had
invaded
La
Cappelle
in
the
Wallon
Country
;
Chastelet
afterwards
followed
the
Fortune
of
Chappelle
;
Thurenne
with
Fuensââdangne
Rhetel
,
and
Chasteau
Porcien
upon
the
Ausââ
,
which
were
not
.
indeed
fortified
Towns
,
but
that
would
serve
for
Winter-quarters
,
or
to
encourage
the
Faction
,
whose
daringness
was
daily
heightned
by
the
Inroad
of
Archduke
Leopoldus
into
Champagne
.
He
had
possessed
himself
of
the
most
rank
and
fertile
soil
lying
between
Fimes
and
Soissoâs
,
having
pitched
his
Leagure
and
Head-quarters
at
Bazoches
.
There
is
no
Country
in
Nature
that
is
surrounded
with
a
more
healthful
Air
,
that
looks
down
more
warm
Hills
,
upon
more
extended
Plains
,
more
spacious
Fields
,
and
more
verdant
windings
of
Vallies
.
The
Spaniard
held
these
,
whilst
the
King
was
scorched
by
the
soultry
heats
in
the
Clime
of
Guyenne
,
amidst
vexatious
and
unhandsom
delays
.
The
Peasants
in
a
fright
flocked
to
Paris
to
increase
the
terrour
.
Bouteville
advanced
farther
than
any
one
else
.
The
Slingers
rejoyced
,
and
turned
it
to
their
reputation
.
It
was
not
,
said
they
,
our
mind
that
his
Majesty
should
be
hurried
away
to
Guyenne
,
that
so
the
Imperial
City
might
be
alarmed
by
the
Enemies
olours
:
yet
such
is
the
gentleness
of
Leopoidus
,
as
to
offer
Peace
.
Mazarine
had
rather
hazard
all
,
so
he
may
but
be
Instrumentââ
to
the
vengeance
of
Espernon
,
and
carry
on
the
Match
that
is
concluded
.
What
honest
man
can
longer
endure
such
doings
?
A
Pamphlet
was
published
,
wherein
Thurenne
exhorted
to
Peace
,
affirming
it
to
be
the
Spaniards
mind
.
Leopoldus
sent
an
Envoyé
to
Orleans
,
and
he
wrote
again
to
Leopoldus
,
that
all
terms
were
ready
to
be
agreed
upon
for
a
general
Pacification
,
so
that
Mazarine
were
but
excluded
.
What
more
needs
be
said
?
Avois
,
after
his
usual
manner
,
seeking
to
advance
his
private
Honour
,
hastned
to
Soissons
,
and
there
waited
for
a
Spanish
Commissioner
,
who
was
content
to
fail
meeting
him
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Princes
were
conveyed
into
the
Castle
of
Marcousse
,
without
the
Seyne
and
Marne
,
at
the
sollicitation
of
Tellier
,
lest
they
might
have
been
set
at
liberty
,
either
by
the
Spaniards
,
or
the
Power
of
the
Faction
.
It
was
better
to
have
them
kept
there
till
the
coming
of
his
Majesty
,
than
that
such
pledges
should
be
intrusted
to
present
Fortune
.
Orleans
was
the
less
unwilling
to
consent
to
it
,
because
Chasteauneuf
was
far
the
most
potent
in
all
that
Quarter
;
so
to
have
them
,
as
it
were
,
committed
to
his
custody
,
was
to
the
great
content
of
the
Slingers
.
It
seemed
a
strange
matter
,
that
noon
of
so
great
Dependences
as
the
Princes
had
,
opened
their
mouth
.
The
Publick
occurrents
which
fell
out
at
Bourdeaux
,
were
slack
,
ambiguous
,
checker'd
between
good
and
bad
.
The
Village
Sansurine
,
after
heaps
of
men
slain
on
both
sides
,
fell
a
petty
Triumph
,
into
the
Royalists
hands
.
Meilleray
,
Roquelaur
,
and
Sanmegrin
with
Palvausse
,
behaved
themselves
stoutly
,
as
though
the
whole
Empire
lay
at
stake
.
Mazarine
was
present
in
person
at
the
Assault
;
the
Port
Dolphin
was
attaqued
,
and
a
Sconce
carried
on
by
the
Rebels
to
the
Port
Diaux
,
which
the
Royalists
assailed
with
âincredible
valour
;
but
was
defended
with
more
incredible
stoutness
.
Here
the
success
of
the
Siââ
stopped
,
and
Mazarine
despairing
of
the
matteââ
returned
to
Court
,
having
encouraged
Palvausse
ăâă
compleat
the
work
.
Meilleray
attempted
another
approach
by
the
old
Walls
,
which
he
thought
might
be
easilier
carried
,
and
the
way
there
bettââ
to
be
made
.
Mazarine
waited
in
vain
,
till
the
affections
of
men
would
declare
,
and
he
might
the
morâ
easily
discern
some
affected
to
his
Majesty
;
for
aâ
yet
none
had
by
his
dissent
given
them
any
advantage
;
the
agreement
of
both
Commanders
was
wonderful
,
wonderful
their
Courage
.
The
King
Souldiers
half
torn
,
were
wearied
with
fighting
and
working
:
so
that
there
was
a
saint
image
of
obedience
all
the
Army
over
.
The
News
of
the
Faction
at
Paris
reaching
Mazarines
ears
,
would
not
let
his
Eminence
take
his
rest
in
quiet
;
the
faââ
of
all
Affairs
setting
it self
to
new
troubles
.
Nâ
body
hated
him
with
any
moderation
:
none
had
any
kindness
for
him
;
the
Spaniard
was
at
Paâ
Gates
;
the
strength
of
the
Land
impaired
,
an
perhaps
relief
might
come
to
the
Bourdelois
by
Sea
in
which
case
they
would
find
but
few
of
his
Majesties
Ships
anchoring
in
the
Road.
The
afflicted
State
of
Bourdeaux
no
less
run
to
ruine
,
without
any
assurance
of
relief
,
whatever
they
gave
out
ăâă
the
contrary
.
The
Cardinal
was
firmly
resolved
upon
Propositions
of
Agreement
,
which
the
Parliament
of
Bourdeaux
happily
seconded
.
Commissioners
were
sent
not
by
predisposition
,
but
in
a
heaâââ
to
commence
a
Treaty
.
Seldom
doth
that
Proposal
want
success
,
to
which
both
Parties
are
inclinable
The
continuance
of
the
quarrel
was
to
the
interest
of
neither
Party
.
There
assisted
also
Deputies
from
the
Parliament
of
Paris
by
the
interposition
of
Orleans
.
The
matter
was
soon
concluded
,
lest
any
thing
might
have
fallen
out
to
rend
open
,
the
Peace
,
which
was
now
newly
upon
closing
,
upon
terms
to
this
substance
.
That
upon
the
publishing
of
an
Amnesty
,
the
Acts
on
both
sides
be
abrogated
:
That
the
Princess
of
Conde
may
enjoy
her
Revenues
,
and
Houses
at
her
pleasure
.
That
Espernon
be
revoked
from
Guyenne
,
and
another
Governor
substituted
in
his
room
.
But
no
mention
was
made
of
ăâă
nor
of
Rochefoucault
,
and
that
by
the
express
order
of
Orleans
,
the
dirft
of
which
was
never
published
.
In
the
mean
time
,
as
the
Articles
were
signing
,
there
came
in
several
to
joyn
in
the
Treaty
,
in
the
behalf
of
the
Princess
of
Conde
,
and
the
Captains
,
who
approved
the
Acts
,
but
were
not
asked
their
consent
.
The
Peace
being
published
on
August
2.
1650.
the
Princess
,
the
Duke
d'Enguien
,
descendant
of
so
many
Heroes
,
who
was
yet
not
long
out
of
his
Inâancy
,
Bouillon
and
Rochefoucault
with
a
choice
Party
of
the
Nobility
happily
drew
out
of
Bourâââce
.
The
Princess
of
Conde
protested
at
her
departure
,
that
this
kind
reception
of
her
at
Bourdeaux
should
never
pass
away
unrequited
.
The
Commanders
,
that
they
should
always
be
bound
to
ââdeaux
for
their
lives
,
and
all
the
comforts
that
âen
receive
by
it
.
And
in
truth
being
purged
to
the
King
and
whole
Country
of
Guyenne
,
they
left
âo
unsavoury
remembrance
of
themselves
behind
,
âs
having
been
called
to
take
their
share
of
danger
,
only
what
was
falsely
believed
,
when
they
aimed
only
at
their
own
ends
.
Thus
was
Bourdeaux
leââ
a
most
proper
Seat
either
for
War
,
or
flight
,
which
it
was
not
then
judged
expedient
to
ruine
,
although
it
might
have
been
utterly
ruined
.
The
Princess
of
Conde
,
and
her
Son
the
Duke
of
Enguien
,
being
on
the
way
with
their
dependences
,
on
the
sudden
light
either
by
chance
,
or
with
design
upon
Meilleray
,
Out
of
courtesie
he
either
attended
on
,
or
forcibly
carried
the
afflicted
Family
into
the
Court.
The
matter
could
not
be
approved
,
but
after
the
doing
,
because
by
that
means
the
Spirit
of
Orleans
always
subject
to
suspicion
,
received
an
umbrage
,
as
if
without
his
privity
,
they
were
tampering
to
relieve
the
Prisoners
:
It
being
a
suggestion
carrying
along
with
it
much
ground
of
apprehension
to
him
that
was
always
timorous
.
Rightly
did
Orleans
conceive
that
Mazarine
could
never
joyn
with
Conde
,
but
to
the
destruction
of
himself
and
his
Confederates
;
nor
was
his
jealous
credulity
in
that
to
be
condemned
.
Besides
that
his
Daughter
,
whoâwent
thither
a
Spy
,
did
frequently
inform
her
Father
of
what
marks
of
kindness
passed
towards
the
Princess
of
Conde
,
and
the
secret
Conferences
had
with
Bouillon
and
Rochesâcault
,
whereupon
she
begun
to
fall
under
the
Queens
displeasure
;
and
a
distast
of
Mazarine
,
afterwards
falling
foul
upon
both
persons
.
Nor
did
the
Lady
in
the
sequel
far
ever
the
better
for
it
,
so
indiscreet
and
impolitick
a
thing
is
it
at
all
times
to
resist
Favourites
at
Court
.
The
Princess
of
Conde
being
admitted
into
the
King
and
Queens
presence
,
without
any
suspicion
of
baseness
,
did
by
a
silent
exprobration
attest
her
own
innocence
;
yet
uttered
she
no
word
of
abject
âiscontent
,
but
in
reverent
sadness
addrest
her
âpeech
with
so
much
modesty
,
and
appeared
so
graceful
a
Mourner
,
that
all
who
were
present
,
found
themselves
transported
to
sympathize
with
âer
afflictions
.
No
promise
was
made
of
his
enlargement
,
which
âhe
prostrating
her self
at
the
King
and
Queens
âet
,
had
so
earnestly
petitioned
for
;
but
she
had
free
licence
to
go
and
retire
whither
she
pleased
.
Having
therefore
suddenly
left
the
Court
,
she
went
through
Anjou
and
Tours
to
Monte
Rotondo
,
where
âhe
attended
,
in
an
unblameable
course
of
life
,
the
âommands
of
her
Husband
when
she
should
be
enââarged
.
Bouillon
and
Rochefoucault
,
sensible
of
the
high
indulgence
that
had
been
shewed
their
Party
,
dealt
in
secret
with
the
Cardinal
,
alledged
in
their
excuse
the
being
necessitated
to
take
up
Arms
,
and
professed
that
they
expected
nothing
more
than
to
be
secure
upon
the
publick
Faith
.
It
was
observed
that
these
two
Gallants
never
so
espoused
the
concerns
of
others
,
as
to
renounce
all
respect
to
their
own
private
Interests
.
Some
intimation
was
made
of
marrying
Conti
with
Mazarines
Niece
,
which
followed
afterwards
by
other
contrivances
.
This
must
be
acknowledged
,
that
both
Dukes
did
earnestly
inculcate
into
the
Cardinals
care
,
That
he
could
do
no
action
more
to
his
interest
or
glory
,
than
to
enlarge
the
confined
Princes
without
the
compulsion
,
without
the
perswasion
,
without
the
communication
of
any
other
.
That
the
Slingers
aimed
at
nothing
,
Orleans
himself
at
nothing
else
,
but
to
get
into
their
power
so
great
Prisoner
:
,
that
by
that
means
they
might
afterwards
ruine
both
the
Queen
and
Mazarine
.
At
Bourdeaux
that
now
all
seemed
in
peaceâ
but
there
would
arise
more
violently
a
tough
War
iâ
that
Country
,
more
inclinable
to
raise
new
commitâions
,
than
to
maintain
their
pretensions
,
and
that
ăâă
themselves
had
quitted
the
party
,
the
people
of
Guyenne
would
chuse
them
Commanders
of
the
stoutest
of
their
Country-men
:
That
not
only
the
Parliament
of
Bourdeaux
,
but
that
of
Paris
,
and
those
of
the
whole
Realm
,
and
the
Towns
of
France
,
with
the
weight
of
all
the
Empire
,
were
all
that
way
inclining
.
All
these
suggestions
sunk
deeply
into
the
mind
of
Mazarine
;
wherefore
he
bid
the
Dukes
be
of
good
courage
,
and
dismissed
them
with
fair
words
;
and
when
he
either
would
not
,
or
could
not
yet
expresly
promise
the
enlargement
of
the
Princes
;
he
intimated
by
certain
hints
,
that
it
would
shortly
be
.
From
that
time
both
of
them
,
but
especially
Bouillon
come
to
be
a
Mazarinist
.
Forthwith
Arms
fell
out
of
the
hands
of
Bourdeaux
,
were
not
by
any
violence
taken
from
themâ
Through
ranks
of
people
,
husht
,
and
dreading
for
their
having
offended
,
his
Majesty
enters
the
City
timorous
and
conscious
of
its
open
Delinquency
,
with
a
Guard
of
4000
choice
men
,
both
for
Pomp
and
Terror
.
The
Cardinal
had
Lodgings
with
his
Majesty
in
the
Archbishops
Palace
,
and
never
startled
at
the
unusualness
of
it
.
The
Bourdelois
either
approved
his
valour
,
or
feared
his
felicity
.
He
judging
all
hatred
dishonourable
,
which
survives
the
Act
of
Hostility
,
forgave
all
.
The
principal
Rebels
debaâed
about
visiting
him
,
and
beat
a
bargain
,
and
demanded
at
what
composition
they
might
purchase
âis
Visit
.
Mazarine
rejected
it
,
and
would
not
âive
way
to
the
unhandsom
offer
.
Thus
was
an
âssue
put
to
so
great
a
commotion
according
to
âaw
,
but
rather
rules
of
Policy
.
Espernon
,
the
cause
âf
the
Insurrection
,
was
excluded
,
who
might
by
âis
single
vertue
purchase
a
Government
.
The
Life-guards
were
dismissed
,
and
the
King
ââusted
himself
to
the
Guard
of
his
Subjects
;
which
âonderfully
took
with
their
ambitious
temper
.
The
Court
parted
from
thence
with
a
silence
most
âike
oblivion
,
not
only
having
abolished
all
haâred
but
any
mention
of
reproach
with
an
equal
ââme
of
Equity
and
Mercy
.
His
Majesty
staid
at
Fountainbelleau
upon
a
pruâent
reflexion
,
all
being
in
an
uproar
at
Paris
,
his
âuceess
at
Guyenne
,
having
enraged
the
Faction
.
There
it
was
ordered
to
remove
the
Princes
from
âhe
Castle
of
Marcousse
to
Havre
de
Grace
,
to
attend
âheir
liberty
in
more
safety
,
about
which
only
was
âhe
question
at
that
time
between
Orleans
and
Maâarine
.
Against
his
will
or
without
imparting
of
ăâă
to
him
,
they
could
not
be
removed
;
therefore
âhere
must
be
singular
address
used
,
that
Orleans
âight
come
to
Court
,
against
the
endeavour
of
the
âling
.
Yet
he
came
to
perform
his
duty
to
the
âing
,
but
with
no
other
intention
.
The
Queen
âlone
prevailed
that
he
would
yield
his
consent
to
âo
desirable
a
removal
.
Therefore
on
Novemb
â5
.
the
year
1650.
Conde
,
Conti
,
and
Longueville
âere
conveyed
the
compass
of
eleven
days
Journey
âârough
the
midst
of
Normandy
to
Havre
de
Grace
,
where
they
were
kept
in
the
custody
of
the
sameâ
Bar
;
Harcourt
secured
the
Conveyance
with
4ââ
Horse
,
and
the
like
number
of
Foot
,
from
ăâă
charge
of
the
Normans
that
might
stir
to
resââ
them
;
which
in
truth
was
not
to
be
fear'd
,
ăâă
the
Dependents
of
the
Prisoners
being
exceeding
quiet
.
Chevreuse
restless
after
her
old
way
came
tâ
Fountain
Belleau
,
with
an
intention
to
oblige
the
Cardinal
to
her self
and
Corinth
,
or
to
overthrow
him
if
he
refused
it
.
At
length
the
discerningâ
Lady
not
able
to
endure
Mazarines
slowness
,
beâ
her
whole
endeavour
only
to
win
the
King
to
come
into
Paris
,
to
whose
effectual
applications
the
Queen
yielded
much
against
the
Cardinals
Judgment
,
who
could
not
be
ruined
but
at
Paris
,
but
would
always
have
triumphed
out
of
Town
,
over
Orleans
and
the
Faction
.
When
he
committed
the
Princes
,
when
he
released
them
not
voluntarily
,
but
by
compulsion
,
when
he
trusted
Chevrense
iâ
returning
into
the
Town
,
and
afterwards
in
departing
the
Kingdom
,
and
at
last
when
he
procured
Corinth
the
promotion
of
a
Hat
;
that
Judgment
of
his
,
so
often
steady
,
was
dazled
.
All
these
Particulars
,
on
which
he
reflected
too
late
,
he
is
judged
to
have
done
in
compliance
with
the
Queen
,
and
against
his
own
sense
.
Charlotte
Monmorancy
,
the
Mother
of
Conde
,
aâ
this
Juncture
of
time
desceased
,
it
is
uncertain
whether
of
grief
,
or
her
natural
death
.
Her
Fame
waâ
divided
between
favour
and
envy
.
For
some
time
careful
of
her
conversation
,
always
curious
of
heâ
Beauty
.
No
habit
of
patience
,
although
her
condition
were
not
unexercised
with
frequent
calamities
.
She
indulged
the
vainest
Deity
more
than
any
Woman
,
amidst
very
few
moments
of
discretion
,
yet
she
always
bore
a
resemblance
of
wisdom
.
But
I
have
spoken
more
elsewhere
concerning
this
Princess
.
Clode
Memmius
Avozzi
dyed
much
about
the
same
time
,
scarcely
above
fifty
five
years
old
,
having
comprised
in
that
narrow
period
of
time
so
great
a
stock
of
vertues
,
as
scarce
any
Gown-man
in
France
.
From
his
first
entrance
into
publick
Imployment
,
he
directed
his
chief
actions
to
the
obtaining
Fame
,
which
by
the
rareness
of
his
parts
he
soon
obtained
to
favour
him
,
and
then
by
an
inofensive
tenour
of
an
upright
conversation
,
together
with
excellent
services
,
he
brought
to
an
high
eminency
,
being
renowned
for
his
most
celebrated
Embassies
over
Italy
,
Germany
,
and
the
farthest
of
the
West
,
the
Danes
,
the
Poles
,
the
Goths
,
and
Vandals
,
in
which
at
his
pleasure
,
he
brought
into
League
those
people
of
warlike
Natures
.
At
last
in
the
Treaties
of
Munster
and
Osnabruge
,
he
did
such
service
for
establishing
Peace
,
with
his
industry
,
acuteness
,
and
policy
,
that
he
indeed
was
not
in
fault
but
that
a
glorious
conclusion
had
been
made
of
that
infinite
Work
;
Expecting
of
the
Kings
promise
the
Order
of
Knighthood
,
which
is
the
principal
of
the
Kingdom
,
he
was
in
the
mean
while
invested
in
the
Charge
of
High
Treasurer
,
which
in
an
exemplar
Bravery
and
Gallantry
,
he
voluntarily
laid
down
with
clean
hands
,
invincible
by
covetousness
,
and
stubbornly
upright
;
Inquisitive
posterity
will
diligently
search
of
what
lineage
this
lively
Picture
of
Honour
sprang
:
I
say
of
the
Mammian
,
whicâââ
when
one
or
two
golden
branches
are
plucked
of
doth
eternally
sprout
forth
with
the
same
metal
being
an
ever
flourishing
stock
of
vertues
,
and
daily
illustrating
its
ancient
and
unquestionable
Nobility
with
the
lustre
of
excellent
qualities
.
Now
I
come
to
the
foreign
Actions
,
which
proceeded
to
the
ruine
of
France
,
in
Italy
,
the
Walâ
Country
,
and
especially
Catalaunia
;
for
there
Mâââara
took
from
us
Flix
(
it
is
upon
the
River
Iber
,
a
Fort
of
great
importance
)
and
Tortugia
a
Sea-poââ
Town
,
Miravet
,
and
Fausset
,
and
other
places
.
He
was
General
of
the
Spanish
Army
,
which
exceeded
not
5000
Horse
and
Foot
:
but
so
weak
were
the
Forces
of
France
at
that
time
,
and
so
great
the
scarcity
of
all
things
,
that
Mercoeur
the
Vice-roy
,
being
reduced
to
extremities
,
was
forced
to
go
back
,
and
leave
the
Government
and
Charge
of
the
War
to
Sanmegrin
seconded
by
Balthazar
,
as
well
as
he
could
.
For
all
these
misfortunes
were
we
beholden
to
the
Sling
of
Paris
,
which
mark
of
infamy
no
traââ
of
time
will
wear
out
.
In
so
great
a
calamity
of
the
State
,
our
Souldiery
over
all
the
Quarter
of
Catalannia
was
without
heart
,
without
discipline
,
and
without
money
.
The
Garrison-Souldiers
after
the
manner
of
France
,
plundered
and
laid
waste
the
neighbouring
Territory
,
and
when
they
had
pillaged
all
,
would
tear
from
them
as
it
were
their
very
hearts
blood
.
Hereupon
grew
despair
,
which
gives
courage
to
the
greatest
Coward
.
Joseph
Margareta
assisted
every
where
with
his
counsel
and
vigilant
care
;
he
evaded
a
thousand
Plots
laid
for
him
by
the
Spaniards
.
But
what
could
he
do
in
so
deplorable
and
lost
a
State
?
No
Country-man
of
ours
paid
a
more
untainted
Loyalty
to
France
,
than
this
Margaret
,
whom
we
afterwards
saw
a
banished
man
to
draw
a
foreign
air
,
and
feed
on
the
bread
of
affliction
,
bearing
an
immortal
hatred
to
the
Spaniards
,
either
slighting
or
despairing
of
pardon
.
In
Picardy
the
Spaniard
invaded
nothing
but
weak
places
,
and
such
as
lay
naked
to
the
first
comer
;
for
the
only
reputation
of
the
Mareschal
d'Estres
preserved
Laon
and
Soissons
unattempted
by
the
Enemies
strength
,
Fuensaldaigne
stopped
a
while
at
Bryenne
,
driving
the
Cattel
:
for
what
other
action
did
he
perform
?
Praslin
defended
Rheims
in
Champagne
.
No
damage
was
done
to
the
neighbourhood
,
besides
the
depopulating
of
houses
,
excepting
the
misadventure
Hoquincourt
only
,
a
person
more
suited
for
beating
up
others
,
than
guarding
his
own
Quarters
.
But
those
occurrents
are
more
notorious
,
than
to
stand
in
need
of
my
relation
.
The
report
spreading
of
the
prosperous
successes
in
Guyânne
,
Leopoldus
with
part
of
the
Cavalry
,
speedily
marches
back
to
Brussels
,
lest
he
might
be
judged
to
have
made
a
less
handsome
Retreat
just
upon
the
Kings
approach
in
Person
.
In
the
mean
while
Joyeux
Granpre
,

of
Mozome
upon
the
Masze
,
between
Stenay
and
Sedan
,
with
greater
courage
than
judgment
embracing
Condes
party
eagerly
,
as
he
doth
every
thing
,
was
deceived
in
this
,
that
he
aided
the
Princes
cause
with
his
bare
person
only
,
Mozome
continuing
yet
at
the
devotion
of
the
King
,
and
breaking
their
word
to
their
Governor
.
He
huffed
,
and
being
heady
at
action
,
and
sudden
consels
,
nor
well
digesting
the
boldness
of
the
Garrison
,
strives
to
avenge
it
,
and
incites
Fuensaldaigne
with
Gamarrâ
to
the
Siege
of
Mazome
:
which
when
it
was
reduced
,
nevertheless
he
could
not
get
the
Government
from
the
cautious
Spaniard
.
Hereupon
growing
melancholy
,
and
not
duely
respected
by
Conde
after
his
enlargement
,
recovered
his
Majesties
favour
,
and
his
Government
,
Mozome
by
the
mediation
of
Fabert
.
Afterwards
having
given
many
proofs
of
his
valour
,
he
made
it
appear
what
Martial
Discipline
Grandprey
had
in
an
Engagement
in
the
open
field
,
upon
a
March
,
in
Sallies
,
and
at
all
occasions
,
as
though
Fortune
had
no
power
to
destroy
him
,
he
was
daring
beyond
valour
,
and
successful
,
as
may
be
instanced
in
the
single
fight
of
Sillery
against
the
Condeans
.
After
the
carrying
of
Mozome
,
Thurenne
carried
his
torn
Army
into
Winter-quarters
,
between
the
Mazze
and
the
Ausne
:
Fuensaldaigne
departs
(
it
had
been
more
advisable
to
quarter
together
)
having
made
no
expedition
into
France
,
that
might
bear
weight
,
or
turn
the
scale
of
affairs
;
for
what
is
more
pitiful
than
with
a
pompous
Preparation
,
to
have
triumphed
over
a
few
plundered
Peasants
,
over
Chastelet
,
Rhetel
,
and
Mozome
.
How
great
trembling
the
Spaniard
had
caused
at
their
Entrance
,
so
great
joy
left
they
at
their
Departure
:
having
left
Thurenne
and
Gamarra
,
who
shortly
after
paid
soundly
for
their
unhapply
staying
behind
.
Nor
did
that
vain
Bravado
,
either
enlarge
the
Princes
;
or
encourage
the
dissaffected
party
,
or
advantage
the
Sling
,
but
only
served
for
an
empty
Scene
of
Action
,
with
a
small
disaster
to
allay
the
success
in
Guyenne
.
The
Court
is
come
safe
to
Paris
,
where
all
things
run
towards
ruine
.
Mazarine
finding
his
return
to
be
destructive
,
counted
it
better
upon
the
repulse
of
Foreigners
,
to
win
what
is
held
by
others
,
than
to
overcome
what
is
at
home
.

choice

;
the
Captain
was
Praslin
,
a
person
always
stout
and

I
know
not

ever
received
rewards
suitable
to
his

)
The
Siege
of
Rhetel
is
resolved
upon
.
It
is
a
City
upon
the
Ausne
,
famous
for
variety
of
Fortune
,
more
than
any
thing
else
.
It
hath
so
often
changed
one
Master
for
another
,
and
one
Enemy
for
another
,
as
a
Ball
banded
to
and
fro
.
Happy
in
the
fruitfulness
of
the
soil
:
There
is
still
the
first
Camp
upon
falling
out
.
The
rough
flints
,
with
which
it
is
paved
,
prove
it
to
be
naturally
warlike
.
John
Delipont
,
a
Napolitan
held
the
Garrison
with
200
Horse
,
and
1500
Foot
,
but
the
French
attaquing
it
,
presently
pierce
the
Suburb
,
and
batter
the
Walls
falling
with
age
And
neglect
.
Three
days
after
Delipont
,
not
able
to
sustain
so
furious
an
Attaque
,
signed
Articles
of
Surrender
,
and
marched
out
before
the
day
accorded
.
In
so
great
a
fright
was
he
,
although
there
were
hope
of
Thurennes
coming
:
who
having
advanced
towards
his
relief
,
upon
hearing
the
Surrender
at
Tugny
,
retreated
.
The
Cardinal
speedily
came
to
Rethel
,
that
he
might
in
person
upon
the
place
encourage
and
advise
them
.
Praslin
was
by
this
time
got
up
to
Thurenne
resolved
to
try
it
out
in
a
pitched
Battel
.
Thurenne
was
vexed
to
be
thus
put
by
his
Winter-quarters
,
and
left
at
uncertainties
whether
to
betake
himself
,
then
what
fretted
him
worse
,
was
the
shameful
loss
of
Rhetel
,
the
work
having
been
carried
only
by
two
Regiments
;
for
the
gross
of
the
French
Army
slighting
the
Siege
,
in
long
and
late
Marches
hunted
out
the
Enemy
.
Praslin
is
certified
by
Hoquincourt
and
Rose
the
German
,
that
Thurenne
was
not
gone
far
,
but
drew
himself
up
for
fight
in
the
next
Valley
of
Bourg
,
which
he
had
signified
to
his
Souldiers
by
a
three-fold
discharge
of
his
Guns
.
Shortly
,
that
is
,
about
an
hour
after
,
both
Armies
marched
in
parallel
Lines
;
each
seeking
an
advantagious
ground
.
Thurenne
waited
for
the
Lorrainers
,
by
whose
coming
up
,
being
strengthned
,
he
stood
off
no
longer
,
but
committed
the
main
tryal
to
the
Fortune
of
a
Battel
.
The
day
was
the
15.
of
December
,
Anno
1650.
in
cloudy
Weather
.
The
Village
next
to
the
Plain
where
the
fight
was
,
is
commonly
called
Somp
,
one
might
better
call
it
a
heap
of
Cottages
.
Thurennes
Cavalry
were
about
5
,
his
Infantry
about
4000
;
the
Lorrainers
were
led
by
Ligneville
and
Fouge
the
Savoyard
,
the
Wallons
by
San-Maria
,
the
Germans
by
Lanaw
.
There
were
also
French
Rebels
;
The
Croats
Dragoons
led
the
Forlorn
(
like
the
Roman
Rorarii
)
that
with
their
light-shot
begin
the
Engagement
,
as
the
smaller
drops
are
wont
to
fall
before
it
rains
down-right
.
It
the
Van
were
six
great
Guns
placed
so
,
that
it
may
pass
for
a
fair
pitched
Battel
.
The
French
Battalia
was
skilfully
drawn
up
,
and
was
the
very
flower
of
the
old
Souldiers
,
among
which
were
most
eminent
Villequier
and
Hoquincourt
,
Navaille
,
Manichamp
,
Pradeau
,
Inville
,
and
not
a
few
others
of
long
Experience
of
War
;
the
whole
Body
amounted
to
above
10000
;
and
had
their
Pieces
of
Artillery
too
,
but
lighter
ones
.
Praslin
appearing
in
the
Head
of
the
right
wing
,
gave
out
his
Orders
.
Thurenne
,
after
his
usual
manner
,
led
his
left
Wing
.
The
hottest
of
the
Engagement
was
upon
our
right
side
,
where
the
Son
of
Praslin
,
a
very
hopeful
young
Gentleman
,
was
lost
.
Durâs
and
Bouteville
with
Beauvosse
and
Montolier
,
at
the
first
charge
broke
through
our
whole
Wing
,
and
came
up
to
the
very
Train
of
Artillery
.
Manichamp
first
routed
the
Lorrainners
:
Villequier
came
up
also
,
and
gave
a
great
turn
to
the
wavering
and
uncertain
Victory
.
Lanaw
,
who
commanded
five
German
Regiments
,
being
made
Prisoner
after
his
Horse
was
killed
under
him
,
gave
terrour
to
his
Party
;
and
here
the
face
of
the
day
,
which
was
before
doubtful
,
began
to
alter
.
At
the
same
moment
were
take
Ligneville
and
Fouge
,
which
gave
the
Lorrainers
under
them
occasion
to
give
back
.
Then
the
Victory
turned
manifestly
to
the
French
side
.
For
Thurenne
having
his
Horse
wounded
under
him
,
could
no
longer
be
present
to
give
quick
Orders
in
the
sudden
Emergencies
at
several
parts
;
nay
,
he
was
near
the
being
taken
Prisoner
,
and
so
he
had
been
,
unless
he
had
been
lent
a
Horse
to
escape
on
,
and
had
got
clear
by
passing
for
a
French
man
.
All
on
both
Wings
of
Thurenne
were
either
taken
or
slain
,
and
only
his
own
Regiment
stood
it
out
to
the
last
.
There
were
taken
Prisoner
Boutteville
,
Gamarra
,
Ligneville
,
S.
Quintine
,
and
Hocourt
,
and
the
Kettle-drums
and
Colours
lost
.
In
the
French
Army
,
besides
the
Son
of
Praslin
,
Alvimar
,
Corvald
,
Valey
,
Brense
,
and
the
Brother
of
Rosa
were
lost
,
and
about
500
common
Souldiers
.
Thurenne
retired
by
Barleduc
to
Stenay
to
Madam
Longuevilles
,
who
made
acquainted
with
the
loss
received
,
though
deserving
,
yet
couragiously
refused
Leopoldus
his
offers
,
that
is
,
a
Refuge
in
Flanders
.
In
the
mean
time
Chasteau
Porcien
,
Asilie
,
Quatrechamp
,
Bouzance
,
Guncource
,
Charbon
Beaâmont
,
and
the
like
Towns
beyond
the
Ausne
,
possessed
by
the
Spaniards
,
voluntarily
render
themselves
to
the
French
.
Seneterre
makes
large
Inroads
into
Lorraine
,
having
reduced
not
a
few
petty
Cities
and
Towns
to
obedience
.
Such
was
the
issue
of
Rhetel-fight
,
where
the
Counsels
of
the
Cardinal
,
and
the
Courage
of
Prâslin
triumphed
,
even
to
envy
,
which
immediately
pouring
in
,
overthrew
all
Mazarines
Proceedings
,
so
Prudence
is
for
the
most
part
wont
to
sink
under
Fortune
.
For
adorning
the
Victory
,
and
procuring
more
Creatures
,
the
Office
of
Mareschal
was
made
common
,
and
as
it
were
promiscuously
dispensed
.
Villequier
,
afterwards
styled
d'Aumont
,
Hoquincourt
,
Stneterre
,
and
to
gratifie
Orleans
,
Ferte
Imbausse
,
were
preferred
to
that
Dignity
.
Grancey
being
offended
that
he
was
not
taken
into
the
crowd
of
Mareschals
,
withdrew
to
his
Government
of
Gravelin
,
giving
out
high
Words
,
by
reason
of
which
afterwards
at
the
interposition
of
Orleans
,
he
compassed
his
desire
,
lest
otherwise
Gravelin
might
have
been
in
some
danger
,
which
was
the
Top
and
Crown
of
the
Triumphs
of
Orleans
.
It
was
grown
a
fashion
to
extort
all
things
by
threats
,
nor
was
there
,
at
that
time
,
any
readier
way
to
Riches
and
Honours
.
Not
so
much
the
calamity
of
the
Age
,
had
introduced
this
and
the
like
ill
usages
into
France
,
as
the
unbridled
liberty
of
the
Court
,
especially
taking
upon
them
at
that
time
.
Mazarine
under
constraint
would
promise
any
thing
only
for
that
little
moment
,
till
he
had
redeemed
himself
out
of
the
pressure
of
his
Exigents
,
having
a
tender
forhead
to
deny
any
one
any
thing
.
And
as
water
on
a
smooth
board
or
stone
easily
follows
which
way
soever
the
fingers
draw
it
:
so
did
he
comply
with
every
Petition
,
which
were
infinite
.
As
often
as
the
French
man
feels
the
weight
upon
his
back
sit
light
,
he
abuses
without
measure
the
gentleness
of
his
Rider
,
taking
a
licentiousness
of
offending
from
a
presumption
of
pardon
.
That
airy
people
is
not
to
be
fixed
but
by
fear
:
nor
was
any
man
in
the
world
more
inwardly
acquainted
with
the
temper
of
his
Country
than
Armand
Richlien
,
who
first
rid
France
with
a
curbed
Bit
,
and
brought
in
terrour
.
Mazarine
encountred
more
sad
difficulties
upon
the
Victory
,
than
in
the
Battel
.
The
Faction
at
Paris
grew
more
fierce
,
but
it
was
in
secret
Juntas
.
They
blab
out
nothing
any
where
,
or
speak
without
premeditation
;
every
where
was
profound
silence
,
or
dissembling
words
more
dangerous
than
silence
.
They
who
were
Mazarines
greatest
back-friends
seemed
most
inclinable
to
him
;
would
invite
him
to
the
Court
,
that
he
might
reap
the
frâiâ
of
his
Victories
,
and
that
which
of
all
Court-crasââ
gives
the
most
unavoidable
blow
,
the
counterfeiting
a
friendship
more
pernicious
than
any
malice
,
only
to
gain
more
credit
to
malignant
suggestions
conveyed
amidst
specious
Applauses
;
a
venom
to
be
feared
,
especially
from
those
that
our
Confidents
,
and
lodge
in
our
very
bosoms
.
The
discerning
Cardinal
perceived
those
Artifices
,
but
either
the
Queens
indisposition
,
or
the
malignancy
of
his
Fate
brought
him
back
into
the
City
on
the
last
December
,
1650.
where
only
the
List
of
his
Successes
was
his
overthrow
,
as
theiis
at
Athens
,
who
were
banished
by
the
Ostracisme
.
The
Parliament
which
hitherto
had
kept
within
bounds
;
Orleans
,
who
would
not
have
had
Mazarine
banished
,
the
Sling
,
that
thought
it
for
their
Interests
to
have
kept
him
as
their
stalking
Horse
,
all
now
,
with
united
Forces
attaque
him
.
Every
such
general
Commotion
is
always
fatal
,
nor
can
ever
be
supprest
or
regulated
by
any
Expedient
.
The
colour
of
their
dissaffection
was
the
enlargement
of
the
Princes
,
which
every
Party
wishes
,
but
with
different
pretences
.
Corinth
was
then
the
vital
Spirit
,
which
the
whole
Combination
drew
.
He
only
strove
not
that
the
Princes
might
be
set
at
liberty
,
but
removed
to
Paris
,
and
kept
in
less
close
confinement
,
that
afterwards
when
Mazarine
,
was
expelled
,
at
pleasure
,
either
he
might
himself
release
them
,
or
keep
them
in
closer
restraint
;
that
so
he
might
insinuate
himself
into
the
Sling
,
the
Parliament
,
and
at
length
into
Orleans
,
by
the
help
Madame
Chevreuse
,
by
which
means
he
might
be
without
cotroversie
Head
of
the
Party
,
and
then
by
raising
Troubles
,
in
a
short
time
get
a
Hat
,
that
so
by
raising
greater
Troubles
,
he
might
at
last
obtain
the
being
Prime
Minister
.
As
if
France
should
eternally
need
the
Scarlet
Gown
for
her
Government
,
which
might
more
decently
be
sent
home
to
Rome
for
the
use
of
the
Conclave
its
proper
place
.
Orleans
requested
the
Senate
,
for
the
most
part
by
Corinth
his
Deputy
,
and
ratified
what
he
delivered
in
his
Name
,
although
sometimes
they
were
bold
words
,
and
such
as
neither
agreed
with
the
gravity
of
the
Hearers
,
nor
the
Character
of
the
Speaker
.
Nay
,
would
exasperate
the
Assembly
against
Mazarine
,
by
whom
he
related
that
Parliament-men
and
good
Patriots
were
called
Cromwells
and
Fairfaxes
,
only
for
not
coming
up
to
the
Court-sense
,
in
contemplation
of
the
Publick
Good
;
taking
thereupon
an
occasion
to
impeach
and
charge
the
Cardinal
for
being
,
as
he
said
,
the
Author
of
all
the
publick
Troubles
;
taking
always
the
Engagement
of
the
Princes
for
a
Cloak
.
Such
Assemblies
were
often
forbidden
by
the
Queen
;
but
always
retained
and
more
frequented
.
Orleans
in
person
,
not
regarding
Wife
and
Children
,
nor
minding
his
Dinner
,
would
abide
whole
days
in
the
Parliament-House
,
pressling
the
Banishment
of
Mazarine
,
and
the
Release
of
the
Princes
without
end
.
Nay
,
kept
at
distance
from
the
Queen
,
which
he
had
not
hitherto
done
,
would
make
more
addresses
to
her
,
nor
could
be
prevailed
upon
by
any
intreaties
,
to
come
to
a
private
Conference
with
her
,
till
the
Princes
were
set
at
liberty
,
and
Mazarine
in
good
earnest
expelled
out
of
the
French
Dominions
.
The
Parliament
by
humble
Petitions
and
Advises
inculcated
the
same
into
the
Queen
,
but
Mole
,
the
Premier
President
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
made
this
grave
and
eloquent
Speech
to
her
Majesty
.
There
might
not
be
any
longer
shifts
,
nor
alledging
dilatory
excuses
;
the
excellent
Prisoners
must
be
released
,
and
could
no
longer
be
detained
in
a
dark
Dungeon
,
without
forfeiture
of
the
French
Allegiance
,
whose
very
appearance
now
posting
away
,
was
ready
to
break
,
forth
into
open
Rebellion
,
unless
the
imminent
mischiefs
were
timely
provided
against
.
It
was
not
equitable
nor
seemly
for
the
Kings
Uncle
to
give
way
to
a
Foreigner
.
One
of
them
must
be
gone
.
Now
it
were
better
for
a
Stranger
,
the
cause
of
all
the
divisions
,
before
any
violence
be
offered
him
,
to
go
away
without
suffering
harm
,
than
for
the
Duke
of
Orleans
to
come
no
more
to
Council
,
and
all
the
State
run
to
confusion
.
When
this
was
heard
there
were
no
more
debates
about
the
Cardinals
departure
.
The
Leading-men
of
the
Royal
Party
offered
their
services
,
as
though
Mazarine
were
to
be
maintained
by
force
of
Arms
,
and
drawing
up
Souldiers
into
the
City
;
but
he
judged
these
to
be
but
flashes
.
Nor
will
a
wise
man
ever
depend
upon
such
promises
in
adversity
always
vanishing
into
the
air
.
From
Cuboville
,
which
is
a
Town
of
Normandy
,
not
far
off
Havre
de
Grace
,
was
a
Letter
written
by
the
three
Princes
,
and
delivered
to
the
Parliament
,
wherein
the
Illustrious
Prisoners
implored
the
Laws
trampled
under
feet
,
and
Statutes
unexecuted
.
Petitions
also
from
the
Princess
of
Conde
,
and
the
Daughter
of
Longueville
were
presented
to
the
Parliament
,
which
was
then
Umpire
of
the
French
differences
.
The
Princes
followers
took
courage
from
the
success
,
and
held
,
which
is
strange
,
secret
Treaties
,
in
a
City
that
keeps
no
Council
,
the
substance
of
which
was
;
That
the
Princes
by
all
means
be
released
;
that
a
Match
be
procured
between
Enguien
the
Son
of
Conde
,
and
Alencon
the
second
Daughter
of
Orleans
;
as
also
between
Conti
,
and
the
only
Daughter
of
Madam
Chevreuse
,
a
Hat
for
Corinth
:
and
what
is
the
principal
Article
,
that
Mazarine
be
exterminated
.
All
this
did
Corinth
get
subscribed
by
Orleans
,
without
the
knowledge
of
Beaufort
,
who
would
otherwise
have
let
forth
all
the
secret
into
Monbazons
bosom
,
which
afterwards
having
been
searched
into
by
the
subtility
of
the
Cardinal
,
would
utterly
have
overthrown
the
Prisoners
before
their
Release
,
and
themselves
while
they
were
entring
upon
the
Intrigue
.
All
these
Transactions
were
carried
every
hour
to
Havre
de
Grace
,
and
the
answers
of
the
Princes
brought
back
to
Paris
,
as
though
the
Princes
were
already
at
full
liberty
by
correspondence
,
not
allowed
,
but
unrevealed
,
the
Servants
,
Doctors
,
and
Keepers
of
the
Princes
,
being
bribed
,
whilst
Bar
was
very
careful
,
but
altogether
ignorant
,
and
making
a
great
stir
to
no
purpose
.
Who
would
not
wonder
at
so
great
closeness
in
a
babling
Nation
:
and
that
which
will
make
the
miracle
surpass
belief
,
all
to
be
managed
by
Women
,
not
only
Procurers
of
pleasure
,
but
Platonick
Lovers
,
which
proved
yet
most
faithful
in
this
business
.
A
prodigious
thing
!
for
what
steadiness
can
be
imagined
in
so
slippery
a
Sex
,
amongst
so
many
Burglars
of
other
mens
Beds
,
and
complemental
Flatterers
,
which
are
the
most
effectual
motives
to
female
minds
?
The
Queens
aim
was
to
delay
and
spin
out
the
time
,
till
the
Kings
coming
to
Age
,
at
which
all
proceedings
should
be
either
ratified
,
or
disannulled
.
Orleans
,
his
Dutchess
,
and
elder
Daughter
,
their
designs
were
to
enlarge
the
Prisoners
,
for
the
restraining
,
not
taking
off
Mazarine
:
the
same
was
the
sense
of
the
Parliament
and
Sling
.
Only
Corinth
was
for
ruining
utterly
Mazarine
,
and
by
acquiring
a
Hat
,
to
be
Lord
of
all
.
Chasteauneâf
upon
every
occasion
,
more
studious
to
perform
his
duty
,
than
advance
any
private
Interest
of
his
own
,
and
whose
Prison
was
more
honourable
than
his
Successors
Empire
,
could
not
digest
the
dishonour
of
her
Majesty
;
therefore
having
invited
all
the
Princes
friends
,
he
propounded
to
them
equal
terms
upon
which
they
might
be
beholden
to
the
King
only
for
their
Liberties
,
and
not
the
Faction
.
These
were
admitted
,
and
very
well
accepted
of
out
of
fear
,
lest
Orleans
having
expulsed
Mazarine
,
and
entred
upon
the
Government
,
by
the
counsel
of
Corinth
,
should
not
earnestly
promote
the
enlargement
of
the
Prisoners
,
counting
it
perhaps
better
in
what
matters
he
ought
to
be
prime
and
alone
,
not
to
take
on
Conde
for
his
Colleague
.
But
all
this
was
to
no
purpose
,
because
the
Cardinal
perhaps
by
too
precipitate
an
haste
,
as
some
would
have
it
be
,
prevented
all
,
and
went
and
released
the
Princes
of
himself
,
as
shall
be
more
largely
related
in
the
following
Book
.
Now
nothing
did
more
effectually
incite
Mazarine
to
depart
than
the
face
of
the
City
in
an
Uproar
.
That
Sea
of
tumultuous
people
did
swell
:
and
in
these
,
as
in
past
Seditions
,
such
was
the
power
of
the
Commonalty
,
as
to
be
of
great
weight
in
every
occasion
.
This
therefore
must
be
the
endeavour
,
that
it
be
never
raised
since
,
when
it
is
once
raised
,
it
can
be
ruled
by
no
Reins
.
But
a
Stranger
will
be
inquiring
,
What
is
that
which
in
this
place
is
called
the
Commonalty
,
which
is
called
the
City
?
It
is
that
multitude
which
is
seen
in
Paris
,
that
the
infinite
number
of
houses
there
can
scarce
hold
.
The
greatest
part
of
that
throng
lives
out
of
their
Country
;
they
are
Natives
of
other
Lands
.
Order
all
these
to
be
summoned
,
and
ask
every
one
of
them
,
what
is
his
Country
?
you
will
see
that
they
have
left
their
habitations
,
and
are
come
by
throngs
into
that
City
,
which
denying
none
,
is
become
the
common
Country
of
all
the
World
,
by
a
certain
Plaister
well
tempered
,
because
in
that
Town
are
great
Rewards
propounded
to
Vertues
,
and
greater
to
Vices
.

BOOK
OF
THE

of
FRANCE
.
The
CONTENTS
.
After
the
Release
of
the
Princes
,
and
the
Departure
of
Mazarine
,
there
followed
not
blessed
Prosperity
,
as
was
expected
:
Nor
were
the
Troubles
of
the
State
composed
,
but
all
grew
worse
.
Conde
finds
fault
with
the
Management
of
the
State
,
and
removes
the
Ministers
.
Extorts
the
Government
of
Guyenne
,
rejecting
his
present
one
of
Burgundy
:
so
chusing
a
fit
Scat
for
his
future
Insurrection
.
He
withdraws
.
The
Civil
Commotions
break
out
afresh
;
and
a
third
Bourdeaux
War
ariseth
.
Hereupon
Mazarine
is
revoked
,
upon
this
ground
to
succour
the
King
that
was
again
distressed
by
the
Faction
.
The
Cardinal
hath
Honour
procured
him
by
his
Enemies
,
instead
of
disgrace
.
THE
Counsels
of
the
honest
Party
being
overborn
by
violence
,
Mazarine
preferring
what
was
necessary
before
that
which
was
plausible
,
withdrew
himself
from
the
present
Juncture
of
Affairs
.
It
was
a
great
Victory
to
the
Faction
,
that
they
had
chased
him
out
of
France
,
as
the
Person
,
who
by
the
greatness
of
his
Genius
had
hitherto
advanced
the
Royal
Interest
,
and
upon
whose
death
or
absence
they
hoped
any
thing
might
be
more
easily
gained
from
the
Queen
.
Hereupon
throwing
off
all
reverence
,
men
revolted
from
their
Loyalty
,
not
by
degrees
,
but
running
headlong
;
the
State
turning
to
all
licentiousness
,
so
that
what
they
thought
they
might
get
by
force
,
they
cared
not
to
sue
for
.
On
Feb.
6.
An.
1651.
in
a
night
without
Moon-shine
,
the
Cardinal
,
incognito
,
disguised
in
a
habit
unsuitable
to
his
Eminency
,
guarded
by
about
200
Horse
,
riding
himself
a
Horse-back
,
retired
to
S.
Germans
,
Harcourt
beating
the
way
,
who
was
the
perpetual
Executioner
of
Court-commands
;
there
he
tarried
a
day
.
Divers
advices
and
reports
that
came
from
Paris
,
he
heard
and
slighted
;
but
pursues
his
Journey
to
Havre
de
Grace
through
the
midst
of
Normandy
,
with
a
pompous
Train
gazed
at
by
all
the
people
,
as
he
passed
along
.
The
same
command
over
his
countenance
which
he
had
in
his
Grandeur
went
along
with
him
at
his
departure
.
Nor
it
there
any
more
certain
Symbol
of
a
brave
Spirit
than
not
to
shrink
at
the
charge
or
encounter
of
any
adverse
Fortune
.
He
took
order
for
dispatching
what
was
to
be
dispatched
,
without
any
ostentation
of
business
,
being
of
conditions
so
tempered
,
between
active
and
mild
,
as
that
none
did
more
affectionately
desire
a
calm
,
or
was
more
able
to
weather
out
a
storm
.
When
the
matter
required
sitting
up
late
,
was
always
wakeful
.
But
Fortune
towards
the
same
subject
was
in
such
extremes
,
that
he
who
lately
thought
he
wanted
Land
for
Victory
,
now
wants
place
for
Refuge
and
Sanctuary
.
And
what
may
be
accounted
incredible
,
amongst
so
many
as
he
had
obliged
,
finds
the
relief
but
of
few
.
So
it
is
;
Whânce
thinks
that
any
obligation
holds
in
force
to
the
Afflicted
,
or
retains
the
memory
of
past
kindnesses
from
one
,
now
,
in
Adversity
:
or
when
did
Faith
not
depend
upon
Fortune
?
whoever
had
reaped
any
advantage
by
him
,
turned
the
Odium
upon
the
Giver
,
and
judged
it
equitable
to
keep
what
he
had
received
of
Mazarine
,
but
let
Mazarine
who
had
bestowed
it
,
be
banished
or
destroyed
.
Nor
yet
would
Paris
think
it self
safe
,
if
the
name
of
the
Cardinal
in
his
greatness
did
any
where
continue
.
All
apprehended
him
,
as
though
he
were
still
ready
to
come
upon
all
of
them
:
and
that
he
might
be
rendred
more
odious
;
fear
was
counterfeited
.
Therefore
the
Parliament
made
terrible
Ordinances
to
have
him
quite
exterminated
out
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
branded
the
memory
of
him
,
as
he
departed
by
daily
impeachments
with
perpetual
marks
of
Infamy
.
The
Common-people
tore
him
continually
with
popular
Rage
.
Thus
do
Quarrels
rising
upon
partial
Factions
out-last
the
fears
upon
which
they
are
grounded
:
for
now
there
were
no
farther
apprehensions
of
him
.
The
first
attempt
was
;
The
clapping
a
strict
Guard
upon
the
King
and
Queen
,
under
colour
that
they
might
not
by
any
sleight
get
out
in
a
secret
way
to
follow
after
Mazarine
.
Orleans
was
now
in
the
highest
power
,
who
could
not
be
prevailed
upon
by
any
intreaties
of
the
Queen
Regent
to
be
present
at
Council
,
stiffly
denying
to
yield
to
it
,
till
the
Princes
were
first
enlarged
;
which
for
some
days
he
punctually
observed
;
whether
it
were
Corinth
that
fortified
the
resolution
of
Gaston
,
in
other
occasions
sickle
,
or
Gaston
himself
having
so
often
suffered
for
his
inconstancy
,
had
now
put
on
a
stoutness
for
a
few
days
.
Chevreuse
practised
a
thousand
devises
in
favour
of
the
Prisoners
,
as
though
in
Election
to
be
thereby
Mother
in
Law
,
upon
the
Match
of
her
Daughter
,
sometimes
would
wooe
Orleans
her self
,
sometimes
by
Corinth
and
Chasteauneuf
;
at
other
times
would
prostrate
her self
to
Mazarine
,
of
whose
departure
she
was
the
greatest
occasioner
,
insinuating
this
to
be
the
most
proper
lenitive
to
the
Spirit
of
Orleans
,
who
always
received
satisfaction
in
compliance
either
to
relax
or
endear
him
.
Thus
was
the
French
Court
governed
at
that
time
.
The
Cardinal
,
more
than
any
man
living
,
pierced
into
these
and
the
like
Intrigues
,
and
at
length
compassed
his
ends
by
a
profound
sounding
of
such
dispositions
.
Harcourt
came
back
from
S.
Germans
to
Paris
,
where
he
had
like
to
have
been
crushed
by
the
popular
fury
,
not
so
much
for
having
served
Mazarine
with
care
and
faithfulness
,
but
for
having
treated
with
Sea-men
,
a
most
rude
generation
of
people
,
about
hiring
a
Vessel
;
who
divulging
the
matter
,
raised
no
small
Uproar
,
as
though
there
were
a
Plot
about
conveying
away
the
King
and
Queen
;
wherein
I
'le
warrant
you
the
Mariners
were
much
concerned
.
Mancini
,
the
Nephew
of
Mazarine
,
overtook
his
Uncle
.
His
Nieces
stole
away
privately
,
being
committed
to
the
care
of
Hocquincourt
and
were
brought
to
Peronne
,
as
though
the
ruines
of
such
a
House
could
not
lye
in
one
place
;
but
must
be
scattered
all
the
World
over
.
Yet
was
not
the
Age
so
barren
of
Examples
,
but
that
some
discovered
a
stubborn
loyalty
kept
entire
to
the
King
and
Queen
,
for
whose
cause
especially
it
was
,
not
Mazarines
;
out
of
the
motives
of
particular
interest
,
as
the
event
testified
:
but
the
Queen
had
made
offers
by
Mazarine
to
all
,
even
the
seditious
,
whatever
the
one
and
the
other
did
strive
to
get
,
whether
secretly
,
or
by
Mutinies
,
if
they
would
but
have
been
quiet
.
But
the
French
have
no
patience
to
stay
for
whatever
hopes
they
have
upon
any
grounds
conceived
,
therefore
they
soon
ăâă
from
straight
to
indirect
ways
,
then
to
crooked
courses
,
and
at
last
fall
into
precipices
.
The
Cardinal
proceeded
on
his
Norman
Journey
,
not
environed
with
that
Train
,
nor
guarded
with
such
a
Troop
as
he
was
wont
.
Yet
there
attended
him
d'Estrades
,
Plesse
,
Belliere
,
and
about
twenty
other
Personages
,
not
of
the
lowest
rank
of
the
Nobility
,
with
a
Squadron
of
200
Horse
,
commanded
by
Palvausse
.
Other
Attendants
uninvited
with
design
of
drawing
somewhat
from
him
at
his
going
off
:
Some
to
be
Spies
over
him
;
few
out
of
respect
.
All
would
repeat
the
Risques
that
they
run
at
their
coming
forth
by
a
Volley
of
shot
out
of
the
House
of
the
Dutchess
of
Orleans
.
We
were
,
said
they
,
almost
beaten
off
from
our
Horses
;
and
in
reproach
called
Mazarines
.
Ronserol
with
a
cloth
about
his
head
often
in
the
sight
of
Mazarine
,
though
he
had
no
wound
,
yet
had
that
wound
which
was
not
carefully
dressed
mornings
and
evenings
,
out
of
a
vapouring
ostentation
.
Divers
discourses
âassed
to
and
fro
;
Some
,
That
the
Cardinal
was
âne
directly
for
Havre
de
Grace
,
to
secure
himself
with
the
Princes
,
and
make
Articles
to
his
best
advanââge
;
Others
,
That
he
might
let
them
out
presently
,
ând
immediately
return
to
Paris
;
Others
,
That
he
âight
indeed
release
them
,
but
himself
remain
in
Haâre
de
Grace
till
the
storm
were
over
,
and
mens
passiâns
abated
;
which
was
the
nearest
truth
.
Every
âne
spoke
after
their
Judgment
,
and
perhaps
not
so
much
after
their
Judgment
,
as
out
of
dissimulation
.
ây
the
third
days
March
the
respect
to
Mazarine
âegan
to
grow
cheap
:
For
the
French
are
of
such
Nature
,
that
unless
you
hold
a
strict
hand
over
them
,
they
will
not
long
be
at
command
.
The
Cardinal
,
as
his
present
condition
required
,
giving
âll
fair
words
,
thereupon
presently
fell
into
disâsteem
.
They
would
press
into
his
Chamber
,
not
make
their
entry
;
crowd
to
sit
down
at
Table
,
ânatch
,
not
take
their
meat
;
prate
,
and
talk
loud
ât
Board
,
who
had
been
before
most
submissive
âlatterers
.
The
Horse-men
plaid
the
wanton
,
and
âell
upon
the
Flocks
and
Herds
that
came
in
their
way
;
the
Normans
impatient
of
receiving
any
the
âeast
appearance
of
damage
,
take
up
Arms
,
and
come
to
Mazarine
with
complaints
of
having
their
Cattel
plundered
.
This
was
then
his
special
care
,
who
ordered
either
the
goods
that
had
been
taken
away
to
be
speedily
by
Palvausse
restored
,
or
full
satisfaction
to
be
made
for
them
;
but
was
slowly
obeyed
.
Every
day
came
Letters
from
the
Queen
,
by
which
he
was
bidden
to
be
of
good
courage
,
and
was
under
the
Kings
Hand
assured
of
his
return
;
which
Mazarine
never
once
doubted
,
such
was
hiâ
confidence
in
Fate
,
and
security
of
Fortune
,
which
as
he
said
,
would
never
have
by
such
steps
advanceâ
him
to
that
height
,
to
cast
him
off
in
the
middle
ăâă
his
Race
,
because
of
innocent
contests
with
Competitors
for
his
Masters
service
:
and
affirmed
that
he
never
was
a
false
Prophet
in
divining
any
thing
.
In
the
mean
while
Orleans
contended
for
the
Release
of
the
Princes
earnestly
,
and
in
union
with
the
Parliament
and
Sling-party
to
obtain
that
Rochefoucault
,
Violet
,
and
Cominges
should
be
dispatched
without
any
delay
,
with
instructions
from
the
King
and
Queen
,
and
Letters
of
Cachet
oâ
Commission
under
the
Seal
for
releasing
the
Princes
which
being
issued
out
,
then
Orleans
waited
upon
the
King
and
Queen
,
and
Council
,
and
was
President
;
after
that
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
with
the
consent
of
the
Queen
,
he
had
entred
a
strict
Caveât
for
the
unrepealable
Banishment
of
irrevocable
Mazarine
;
who
having
heard
of
these
Particulars
,
and
judging
it
convenient
to
make
haste
(
lest
the
Commissioners
who
were
now
on
the
way
,
should
draw
to
themselves
the
merit
of
having
set
the
Princes
free
)
came
early
to
Havre
de
Grace
on
the
13.
Feb.
1651.
In
order
to
this
,
as
hath
been
said
,
Gramont
,
Lyonne
,
and
in
the
behalf
of
Orleans
,
Goâlâ
,
had
gone
before
to
be
Spies
over
Conde
,
under
pretence
of
his
enlargement
.
He
was
every
day
certified
by
a
thousand
ways
and
Arts
,
besides
Ciffres
,
not
only
of
the
state
of
Affairs
,
but
of
the
most
minute
Occurrents
.
Now
Havre
de
Grace
was
no
longer
a
Prison
,
but
an
open
Fair
,
so
was
all
kind
of
Ware
bought
and
sold
,
Bar
the
Keeper
of
the
Castle
âeing
neither
Fool
,
nor
Knave
,
but
beset
with
a
ârain
of
corrupted
Followers
.
There
was
no
lonâer
debate
about
their
Enlargement
,
but
the
obliâation
and
reward
for
their
Enlargement
what
eveââ
one
laid
claim
to
.
If
one
could
be
supposed
to
have
âeen
a
Midas
,
who
turned
all
that
he
touched
into
âld
,
could
never
have
made
so
much
gold
as
they
âould
be
Suitors
for
:
or
if
Conde
could
rain
gold
,
ăâă
would
never
be
solvent
for
what
they
expected
.
These
were
the
very
words
of
Mazarine
.
And
in
âuth
the
Prince
might
easily
guess
,
that
when
he
âas
come
out
of
Prison
,
as
shortly
he
would
,
he
âould
then
be
confined
to
closer
straights
through
ăâă
cravingness
of
his
Party
.
Chevreuse
was
the
most
pressing
burden
,
because
of
the
promise
of
ââarriage
,
that
is
,
the
Match
of
Conti
with
her
âaughter
,
of
which
Conde
never
so
much
as
had
ây
serious
thought
.
Every
one
of
the
Prisoners
was
to
be
made
his
own
ransom
.
The
whole
Faction
shrowded
most
different
respects
under
the
âommon
pretence
of
hatred
of
Mazarine
,
whose
âffection
had
been
always
inclinable
to
Conde
.
Some
âere
were
whom
the
Cardinal
loved
more
dearly
,
one
that
he
prized
more
highly
.
The
Prince
sing
his
advantages
immoderately
,
overthrew
his
âwn
Interest
,
and
upon
that
very
ground
,
that
he
âought
himself
feared
,
slighted
all
offers
out
of
disâain
,
or
distrust
;
an
incurable
sore
,
the
cause
of
his
âany
troubles
.
Mazarine
having
disposed
his
Cavalry
into
the
neighbouring
Villages
,
enters
into
Havre
de
Grace
with
his
Retinue
of

He
goes
into
the
Castle
alone
with
only
Palvausse
and
my self
.
The
Guns
were
discharged
by
Sea
and
Land
out
ăâă
respect
to
him
as
he
entred
in
.
Lionne
had
gone
ăâă
meet
him
at
three
miles
distance
,
without
questiââ
to
inform
him
in
necessary
points
.
Bar
met

at

Gramont
at
the

Gate

Aftââ
Conference
had
,
the
Cardinal
in
his
Boots
anâ
Cloak
is
attended
into
the
Princes
Chamber
.
Whââ
having
courteously
and
reverently
saluted
,
he
delivers
Bar
the
Queens
Letters
,
the
substance
of
which
was
;
To
execute
such
Orders
at
the
Cardinal
shoulâ
give
for
the
discharge
of
the
Princes
.
Then
turning
towards
Conde
,
saith
;
The
Queen
hath
made
chââ
of
me
to
signifie
her
Majesties
pleasure
for
your
releââ
Forget
your
Imprisonment
,
and
continue
to
love
ăâă
King
and
Queen
,
and
me
your
Highnesses
eternally
obliged
Servant
.
Conde
replied
,
That
he
thankeâ
her
Majesty
for
his
Enlargement
,
and
should
advanâ
the
King
and
Kingdoms
Interests
,
as
he
had
still
ăâă
but
that
he
was
obliged
to
Mazarine
,
and
should
ăâă
bear
injuries
in
mind
.
Conde
looking
upon
the
Cardinal
,
and
the
Cardinal
upon
Conde
,
could
not
chââ
but
be
occasions
of
comfort
one
to
the
other
.
ăâă
was
scarce
ten
in
the
forenoon
,
when
they
all
ăâă
down
to
Table
.
Mazarine
taking
a
glass
of
Wine
drunk
to
the
happy
return
of
the
Princes
into
thâ
Court
;
they
again
begun
a
Health
to
Mazarine
âȘ
The
Meal
was
short
,
and
a
slender
Collation
;
Mazarine
as
it
were
turning
them
out
,
lest
by
the
Dessert
of
the
approaching
Commissioners
,
the
obligation
of
their
liberty
already
received
,
should
be
hindered
.
Longueville
went
out
first
,
then
Conti
anâ
both
of
them
leaped
hastily
into
Gramonts
Coaââ
Conde
stayed
a
little
while
with
the
Cardinal
in
the
Prison-Chamber
,
which
from
the
three
Beds
might
have
been
justly
called
(
as
the
place
of
Roman
Entertainments
)
a
Triclinium
or
Room
of
three
Couâhes
.
Many
words
passed
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
âther
.
The
sum
of
Mazarines
Discourse
was
this
;
That
Orleans
had
been
the
cause
of
their
Imprisonment
,
by
the
procuring
of
Corinth
;
for
the
future
he
could
do
no
wiser
act
,
than
to
render
himself
up
wholly
ăâă
the
King
and
Queen
for
destroying
the
Faction
.
That
whatsoever
strength
was
held
by
the
Dependencies
of
Mazarine
in
France
,
should
be
all
at
the
service
of
Conde
,
whilst
Conde
himself
were
at
the
King
and
Queens
devotion
.
Mercoeur
and
Espernon
he
commended
in
particular
to
him
;
further
,
if
he
pleased
to
communicate
with
Lyonne
about
the
principal
matters
of
State
,
with
whom
he
had
left
the
very
secrets
of
his
heart
.
From
that
time
Lyonne
was
in
highest
Imployment
,
a
subject
of
much
industry
and
trust
,
great
dispatch
,
chearful
in
look
and
life
,
and
of
a
sagacious
Spirit
.
Him
did
Mazarine
use
as
a
singular
Assistant
in
the
managing
of
his
weighty
Affairs
.
The
Cardinal
waiting
upon
the
Prince
when
he
was
in
the
Coach
,
made
him
a
decent
,
and
almost
submissive
Reverence
.
Conde
vouchsafing
no
return
,
bid
the
Coach-man
drive
away
.
I
had
the
Honour
to
be
assistant
at
these
passages
;
and
transmit
nothing
to
posterity
,
but
what
I
both
saw
and
heard
.
The
Coach
full
of
the
Princes
,
Gramont
and
Gouâas
,
went
in
Triumph
through
Havre
de
Grace
amidst
the
Acclamations
of
the
people
,
and
the
roaring
of
the
Canons
.
Four
leagues
off
they
lodged
in
the
Castle
Gromeny
.
Thither
came
in
as
at
a
moment
appointed
,
Rochefoucault
,
Vrillere
,
and
Viââ
There
were
embraces
and
joys
,
and
liberal
drinââing
at
Supper
.
Lyonne
charged
with
the
cares
ăâă
Mazarine
,
having
over-taken
the
Princes
,
and
âing
coldly
received
,
rides
poste
to
give
her
Majeâ
an
account
of
the
particular
occurrents
.
The
Prâces
came
apace
through
Rouen
,
Maigny
,
Pontiâm
and
S.
Denis
to
Paris
.
The
nearer
they
drew
ăâă
the
City
,
they
were
marked
to
be
more
disrespeââfull
of
Mazarine
,
and
more
infense
against
him
,
â
the
way
they
uttered
much
reflexively
,
and
mâ
directly
in
scorn
and
derision
of
him
.
Nor
wâ
Harcourt
spared
,
who
like
Provost
Mareschal
(
as
ăâă
is
commonly
called
)
had
conveyed
the
Prince
through
the
midst
of
Normandy
,
not
one
of
Longâââvilles
Creatures
daring
so
much
as
to
stir
.
At
that
very
time
the
observing
did
discern
thaâ
Conde
harboured
those
resentments
,
which
could
neither
comport
with
the
publick
Peace
,
nor
ăâă
late
promises
.
Orleans
came
to
meet
him
with
ăâă
great
Train
,
and
going
out
of
his
Coach
huggeâ
Conde
with
straight
embraces
,
and
then
presently
brought
him
to
the
King
and
Queen
to
do
his
duty
.
The
joy
of
that
day
,
and
the
concourse
of
the
City
as
though
the
Pillars
were
restored
to
the
Kingdom
âȘ
can
scarce
be
expressed
in
words
,
and
perchanâ
may
scarce
deserve
to
be
credited
.
But
now
thâ
Souldiery
at
the
very
sight
of
Conde
cryed
for
joy
leaping
to
welcome
him
,
and
longing
to
touch
his
Hand
.
We
are
glad
to
see
your
Highness
,
and
receiââ
our
Prince
in
safety
.
I
triumphed
with
you
in
Flanders
,
with
you
in
Germany
,
with
you
in
Spain
.
Vnder
your
Conduct
our
Troops
pranced
upon
the
Baââ
of
the
Danow
and
of
the
Rhyne
,
which
your
admired
Renown
passed
over
.
Before
the
eyes
of
all
shone
forth
an
assured
hope
of
safety
,
peace
,
quiet
,
prosperity
,
so
that
more
could
not
have
been
expected
,
not
expectations
less
answered
.
This
night
they
supped
at
Orleans
his
House
,
where
slackning
the
Reins
to
liberty
,
innumerable
Cups
of
Wine
were
drunk
,
to
the
confusion
of
Mazarine
,
who
was
now
locked
within
the
Garrison
Havre
de
Grace
.
and
found
neither
Bar
nor
the
Souldiery
very
ready
at
his
Commands
.
For
Bar
depended
on
Madam
Esgioulon
,
and
she
indeed
on
the
King
;
but
was
so
pinched
by
Orleans
and
the
Parliament
and
the
Sling
,
that
she
could
not
any
longer
safely
allow
the
Entertainment
at
Havre
de
Grace
,
when
the
Cardinal
was
by
the
publick
Acts
banished
out
of
the
whole
Dominion
of
France
,
nor
might
the
Governor
of
any
Castle
,
if
he
should
âlye
to
them
for
Harbour
,
give
him
Refuge
.
It
now
follows
to
relate
faithfully
and
in
short
,
after
my
custom
,
what
Mazarine
,
and
what
his
Rivals
did
,
till
his
return
.
When
the
Cardinal
left
Paris
,
he
had
scarcely
money
to
bear
his
charges
on
the
way
,
which
he
had
raised
every
where
,
by
putting
into
the
Lomâard
part
of
his
Houshold-stuff
;
so
that
it
is
the
âess
wonder
,
if
having
tasted
of
being
in
want
,
he
proved
after
his
return
from
Banishment
somewhat
more
provident
for
the
World
.
Having
therefore
received
some
supply
of
money
by
faithful
Courâiers
,
after
a
few
days
spent
in
Havre
de
Grace
for
âetting
his
mind
and
busines
in
order
he
departed
,
and
guarded
by
100
Horse
,
went
to
Dorlans
,
whither
the
Queen
had
dispatched
Beringham
with
Râvigny
to
command
him
in
her
Name
with
all
possible
speed
to
quit
the
Kingdom
of
France
:
for
all
things
were
running
to
ruine
.
Amidst
so
many
misfortunes
,
nothing
more
afflicted
him
,
than
thâ
he
should
be
an
occasion
of
the
Queens
trouble
With
some
reluctancy
he
entred
upon
the
Journey
but
afterwards
resolutely
executing
his
intention
exceeded
in
his
future
courage
,
the
former
caâ
ages
compared
together
:
so
that
he
might
be
judged
rather
happily
to
withdraw
,
than
flye
out
ăâă
the
Kingdom
.
He
designed
for
Alsatia
,
or
the
Elector
of
Colognes
Country
:
and
taking
in
his
way
Peronne
,
la
Fere
,
Rhetel
lately
reduced
by
his
Arââ
and
Barleduke
,
stayed
at
Clermont
,
where
he
was
honourably
entertained
by
Seneterre
,
not
regarding
the
Parliaments
Orders
.
There
being
certified
ăâă
the
favourable
affctions
of
the
Archbishop
of
Coâlogne
towards
him
,
he
preferred
such
a
Retreat
before
Alsatia
,
and
therefore
bent
his
course
towardâ
Sedan
,
where
Fabert
,
Hoquincourt
,
Navaille
,
Mâ
dejus
,
and
Broglie
offer
him
their
service
couragiously
and
faithfully
,
if
he
would
stay
in
France
,
anâ
by
force
of
Arms
resist
the
Faction
,
nor
suffer
himself
to
be
born
down
by
the
stream
of
mad
men
.
ăâă
supposing
(
it
is
questionable
,
whether
not
discreetly
)
that
the
present
case
needed
not
such
Helpers
returned
them
thanks
,
and
promised
he
should
ăâă
forget
their
courteous
proffer
.
There
is
nothing
sweeter
in
this
world
,
than
the
shewing
kindness
iâ
adversity
.
He
chose
rather
to
be
safely
miserablâ
than
to
endanger
the
Kingdom
,
already
afflicted
âȘ
And
because
he
could
not
come
at
Cologne
,
but
ăâă
must
pass
through
the
Spanish
Territory
;
having
obtained
leave
of
her
Catholick
Majesty
,
as
was
âgreeable
to
Reason
and
Honour
,
and
received
Passes
from
Leopoldus
and
Fuensaldagne
,
he
goes
straight
through
Aix
la
Chappelle
,
where
he
light
upon
Fabio
Cighi
,
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
in
Conference
with
whom
the
matter
of
the
Peace
among
other
things
fell
into
Discourse
;
but
their
Judgments
differed
:
whereupon
afterwards
grew
a
disgust
between
them
upon
I
know
not
what
Piqne
.
Don
Antonio
Pementelli
,
the
Governor
of
Newport
,
was
âent
with
a
Troop
of
Croats
,
to
wait
upon
the
Cardinal
.
All
offers
were
made
by
the
Spaniards
to
have
shaken
his
faith
,
had
they
not
encountred
a
man
of
Constancy
.
Pementelli
too
threw
in
occasional
mention
about
the
Peace
,
as
being
by
Fate
designed
an
Instrument
for
so
holy
a
Work
;
and
perhaps
the
motion
had
taken
effect
,
had
not
Sillery
sent
from
Conde
to
Brussels
,
broken
off
the
beginnings
of
the
Conference
newly
put
upon
the
Loom
.
Hereupon
the
Spaniards
promised
themselves
mighty
advantages
from
Conde
,
and
believed
France
drawing
towards
its
last
gasps
.
Therefore
was
the
Treaty
broken
off
,
lest
any
umbrage
should
be
given
by
it
to
Conde
,
whom
they
had
fast
to
them
already
,
and
were
resolved
to
bind
in
stronger
links
,
that
is
,
to
make
a
purchase
of
our
losses
,
as
the
Castillions
are
still
wont
to
do
,
always
with
unlucky
success
.
Mazarine
wearied
with
travel
and
cares
,
comes
in
safety
to
Brouell
,
the
Palace
of
the
Elector
of
Cologne
.
The
Elector
,
with
the
Principal
of
the
Clergy
,
visit
their
new
Guest
,
beseeching
him
to
make
free
use
of
any
part
of
their
Territory
as
he
pleased
.
Magnifience
and
Courtesie
are
the
eternal
Badges
of
the
House
of
Bavaria
.
Mazarine
hath
proof
of
both
,
with
his
Family
,
Kindred
,
and
all
the
Planks
of
his
Shipwrack
.
Equal
to
that
of
the
Refugies
,
was
the
joy
of
their
Receivers
at
they
coming
of
such
Persons
,
which
increased
with
the
continuance
,
when
at
the
saluting
of
men
,
almost
of
the
meaner
sort
,
he
would
add
some
notes
of
familiarity
.
And
as
much
as
the
crowd
of
persons
flocking
about
him
would
permit
,
trusted
his
person
to
all
of
them
.
Nones
Age
,
nor
weakness
,
nor
Sex
stayed
any
from
silling
their
eyes
with
gazing
on
this
strange
sight
.
For
he
was
often
at
Church
in
his
Cardinals
Robe
,
not
laying
off
the
Habit
of
his
Dignity
.
The
Children
would
know
him
,
the
Youthâ
point
at
him
,
the
Aged
admire
him
.
Sick
men
too
would
creep
out
of
their
houses
to
gaze
,
and
leave
him
but
a
narrow
path
to
pass
along
.
Let
us
now
leave
Brouell
,
which
no
Posterity
wâ
think
of
without
kind
reflexions
,
and
return
ăâă
Paris
;
where
a
long
Letter
of
Mazarine
to
the
Queen
and
the
Count
de
Brienne
,
his
Majesties
Secretary
,
was
read
over
with
an
audible
voice
in
the
Privy
Council
:
That
being
over-born
by
the
Conââracy
and
Envy
of
his
Enemies
,
in
as
much
as
his
truth
and
innocency
could
find
no
place
,
now
be
was
chased
away
,
and
in
Banishment
with
his
shipwracked
Family
,
he
took
the
boldness
to
complain
to
the
most
ăâă
of
Queens
,
that
he
foresaw
no
end
of
Fortunes
outragâ
but
had
reason
to
expect
every
day
more
cruel
usage
âȘ
For
such
Presidents
never
stay
where
they
begun
,
bâ
though
they
be
let
into
a
narrow
cut
,
make
a
wide
Iââdation
;
That
he
had
been
striped
of
all
he
had
by
ăâă
implacable
Rivals
,
who
had
the
wind
now
for
ââem
:
nay
,
that
their
spleen
was
vented
upon
his
Housold-stuff
,
and
what
other
Rarities
he
had
ordered
to
ăâă
brought
from
Rome
for
the
Ornament
of
Paris
.
âhat
he
had
gained
nothing
by
so
great
labours
for
âhe
service
of
many
years
but
a
Hat
,
which
he
was
âilling
and
ready
to
return
them
again
;
seeking
no
âther
advantage
than
a
Corner
wherein
to
hide
his
â
sgrace
;
but
that
no
storm
should
be
so
violent
as
to
ânge
his
Loyalty
,
although
he
were
exposed
to
never
apparent
danger
.
This
powerful
Letter
brought
me
to
relent
;
but
exasperated
more
,
who
took
âourage
from
their
numbers
.
Mazarine
is
voted
a
full
House
;
Guilty
of
high
Treason
,
the
Disturâr
of
the
publick
Peace
,
and
Enemy
of
France
;
for
âving
committed
Piracy
,
turning
from
a
Minister
to
Picaroon
,
and
so
interrupting
the
Commerce
of
foâreign
Ships
;
for
having
conveyed
the
French
Treasure
to
his
own
Country
of
Italy
;
for
having
been
always
ăâă
evil
Counsellor
to
the
Queen
,
and
implanting
his
ân
ill
Principles
of
Government
into
his
Majesties
âind
,
masking
his
vices
under
dissimulation
.
Cerâainly
nothing
must
be
more
depraved
than
his
mind
,
ăâă
no
higher
rewards
could
be
propounded
to
have
âracted
him
to
vertue
;
nor
if
he
be
corrupt
,
is
there
ât
any
Bar
to
call
him
to
an
Account
before
it
.
âict
Prohibitions
are
made
,
that
no
French-man
âould
hold
correspondence
with
him
,
imposing
a
âere
penalty
on
all
that
should
presume
to
transâss
.
Broussel
and
Munier
were
chosen
Commissiââers
to
make
strict
enquiry
into
Mazarines
Accounts
,
and
return
them
into
the
Exchequer
;
there
was
this
unhappy
aggravation
,
that
Covetousness
ministred
an
occasion
to
Cruelty
.
But
who
would
have
thought
that
the
Sacred
Acts
should
mix
with
the
Profane
,
and
Monitories
,
as
they
call
them
,
be
published
through
all
Churches
,
by
which
was
enjoyned
under
threats
of
Excommunication
,
to
reveal
to
the
Parliament
Commissioners
whatsoever
was
known
to
belong
to
Mazarine
.
But
their
great
faith
,
by
being
in
vain
attempted
,
or
his
innocency
appeared
.
Bitaut
and
Pitheus
were
sent
to
the
Borders
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
make
Inquisition
upon
all
the
Roads
,
as
he
passed
through
,
and
report
what
had
been
done
to
the
comfort
of
Mazarine
,
that
so
his
Abetters
convict
,
might
be
brought
to
condigne
punishment
.
There
was
no
Offender
discovered
,
such
was
either
the
negligence
of
the
Judges
,
or
the
excellency
of
those
that
were
suspected
.
But
the
chiefest
concernment
of
the
Faction
was
,
that
the
King
and
Queen
should
not
escape
âȘ
The
City-gates
had
been
for
that
reason
delivereâ
up
to
be
kept
by
the
City-Guards
by
the
Queenâ
consent
,
before
the
return
of
the
Princes
,
and
somâtime
after
.
Nevertheless
they
were
struck
everâ
hour
with
new
suspicions
.
The
whole
Town
waâ
alarmed
with
uncertain
fears
,
or
gave
out
as
if
they
had
been
;
so
that
at
midnight
they
watched
oveâ
the
King
and
Queen
,
while
they
were
asleep
,
at
leaââ
came
to
look
whether
they
were
in
the
Bed
or
no
Fear
was
counterfeited
to
increase
the
anger
againâ
Mazarine
.
There
was
no
other
way
for
the
Confederacy
to
keep
up
its
credit
;
and
to
comprise
aâ
in
one
word
,
Within
the
same
City
,
wherein
mâ
formerly
had
contended
in
vertue
,
there
was
no
ăâă
emulation
of
vice
;
and
he
took
himself
for
the
âest
Patriot
,
who
was
the
worst
Subject
.
When
âen
have
once
wandred
out
of
the
right
way
,
they
ââon
run
into
precipices
.
Therefore
it
was
now
in
ăâă
State
meer
tossing
,
and
billows
;
but
no
steadiness
,
where
the
Anchor
of
the
publick
sasety
plowââf
,
and
could
not
fix
.
Festivals
were
kept
,
but
such
Festivals
as
Ambition
and
Cruelty
provided
.
The
ânalterable
sense
of
the
Faction
was
to
heave
the
Queen
out
of
the
Coach-box
,
and
bring
thing
to
ââat
pass
,
as
that
some
notable
Change
might
ensue
,
ând
they
might
in
troubled
waters
fish
out
somewhat
,
though
it
were
never
so
small
.
By
these
and
the
like
practices
,
Madam
Longueâille
,
both
Bouillons
,
and
all
that
retained
upon
that
Party
,
are
indemnified
by
the
Parliament
.
But
in
the
principal
place
,
the
Princes
are
declared
to
have
been
wrongfully
imprisoned
.
It
is
the
Prerogative
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
to
make
Nocents
innocent
,
and
again
Innocents
,
nocent
,
that
is
,
to
make
and
unmake
Laws
;
and
in
one
day
declare
the
same
persons
Enemies
of
the
French
Court
,
and
admit
them
to
be
Confidents
;
boystrous
Waves
,
and
immediately
a
Calm
.
From
the
beginning
of
its
being
a
Nation
,
these
things
have
been
,
and
will
be
.
The
Elements
do
not
change
;
and
by
these
Method
does
our
Kingdom
stand
,
and
will
stand
to
the
Worlds
end
;
for
France
is
the
only
State
that
is
âever
to
fall
.
In
the
mean
while
Mazarine
was
in
ill
condition
against
whose
return
were
strict
Ordinances
,
to
which
her
Majesty
gave
her
assent
;
nay
,
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
not
only
foreign
,
but
home-born
Cardinals
,
and
Ecclesiasticks
in
whatsoever
degree
dignified
,
are
rendered
incapable
of
being
admitted
Members
of
the
Kings
Council
,
according
to
the
custom
of
the
wisest
of
Statesmen
(
who
does
not
understand
the
Venetians
to
be
meant
?
)
which
couragiously
and
politickly
bar
such
from
medling
with
their
Government
.
No
man
can
pay
a
divided
Allegiance
to
his
natural
Sovereign
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Rome
;
for
Cardinals
,
if
the
account
be
rightly
cast
up
,
are
but
Curates
in
Purple
;
they
should
attend
the
Consistories
,
Bishops
the
Charge
of
their
flock
,
which
cannot
be
neglected
without
hazard
of
souls
,
Corinth
drew
against
the
Bill
,
that
only
Foreigners
should
be
excluded
from
the
Government
,
lest
his
expected
Hat
,
not
being
lined
with
that
Ministry
,
to
which
he
aspired
,
might
be
depressed
by
his
meaner
contemplations
.
Obusson
Archbishop
of
Yverdon
,
in
behalf
of
the
Clergy
,
made
an
eloquent
Oration
for
the
Priviledges
of
the
Church
;
but
without
success
,
because
it
was
evident
by
whose
instinct
and
impulse
he
spoke
.
Yet
the
Reputation
of
Obusson
grew
by
this
means
higher
,
and
paved
him
a
path
to
future
preferments
.
The
main
scope
of
his
Oration
lay
in
amplifying
the
obligations
that
Cardinals
had
laid
upon
France
,
whose
good
services
were
conspicuous
all
over
the
World
.
The
Parliament
made
answer
;
They
knew
all
that
already
;
But
withal
,
that
the
same
Cardinals
were
insatiable
in
Ambition
and
Covetousness
This
(
said
they
)
is
incident
to
Ecclesiastical
Dignities
,
a
slighting
of
heavenly
matters
,
and
an
affectation
of
domineering
on
earth
,
and
Eminency
over
great
Princes
,
and
if
it
might
be
Kings
;
in
all
which
they
write
after
the
Copy
,
and
come
as
near
as
they
can
to
the
Roman
Court
,
overcoming
all
in
the
World
in
pride
.
How
were
it
else
posible
that
a
Frame
built
non
such
tottering
Foundations
,
by
ways
contrary
to
the
Founders
Insstitution
,
could
have
been
raised
to
that
height
?
That
although
it
be
plain
,
that
it
is
risen
by
the
Bounty
of
Princes
,
yet
is
their
carriage
more
evident
,
that
they
turn
the
greatness
that
they
have
received
against
their
very
Benefactors
,
and
aim
at
nothing
less
by
their
Canonists
and
Emissaries
,
than
the
total
depression
of
the
Secular
Power
.
That
these
Particulars
having
been
sufficiently
marked
by
most
able
men
,
can
never
be
enough
inculcated
to
check
their
immoderate
advance
:
which
if
it
proceed
,
the
Authority
of
Presbyters
and
Church-men
will
become
Empress
of
the
World
,
and
the
Secular
Power
must
be
its
Lacquay
,
which
is
scandalous
.
The
Parliament
of
Paris
can
never
be
commended
enough
,
which
always
boldly
stands
up
against
Ecclesiastical
Encroachments
,
and
restrains
the
spreading
those
Phylacteries
too
wide
.
Excepting
the
Senators
of
Paris
and
Venice
,
all
the
rest
of
the
World
bows
in
ignorance
to
vain
Superstition
.
Such
was
the
Fate
of
France
at
that
time
,
as
that
mens
minds
swelled
with
discontent
,
and
the
whole
State
was
griped
with
Intestine
Seditions
.
The
Noblesse
too
had
their
Cabals
and
private
Meetings
,
writ
Letters
into
the
Counties
,
and
as
it
were
sounded
an
Alarm
,
and
set
up
the
Standard
to
fill
up
the
measure
of
the
new
Faction
;
That
the
publick
Destruction
must
be
prevented
;
that
France
was
run
to
ruine
,
the
Government
dissolved
;
that
the
States
of
the
Kingdom
must
be
summoned
as
the
only
relief
of
the
utter
desolation
that
was
imependent
over
the
Land
.
The
Queen
tolerated
these
and
such
like
disorders
,
doubting
more
than
need
was
to
meddle
.
Orleans
âȘ
and
Conde
allowed
and
cherished
them
;
the
Parliament
condemned
them
as
prejudicial
to
their
Authority
.
The
Princes
could
not
well
digest
the
hardiness
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
who
interposed
as
Arbitrators
of
the
Kingdom
in
all
State-affairs
,
under
colour
of
a
Supreme
Power
.
Hereat
the
great
Leaders
of
the
House
grumbled
,
and
interpreted
it
as
a
diminution
of
their
Priviledges
.
This
Council
of
the
Nobles
would
not
leave
meeting
,
but
slighted
both
Court
and
Parliament
,
and
joyned
with
the
Clergy
.
These
flatter
each
the
other
with
mutual
Remonstrances
,
as
if
it
were
both
their
grand
Concerns
,
that
the
Kingdom
should
not
be
at
all
impaired
.
But
the
third
Estate
which
is
of
the-Justicers
and
Lawyers
drawing
against
them
,
nor
coming
in
,
the
Assembly
of
the
Nobles
or
the
States
General
,
as
they
are
in
our
language
called
,
vanished
away
,
after
great
Contests
having
already
chosen
their
place
of
Assembling
at
Tours
,
and
in
order
to
that
already
provided
for
abating
the
price
of
Corn
in
that
Country
.
Madam
Longueville
had
brought
along
with
her
from
Stenay
the
Furies
of
Revenge
,
by
whole
means
all
the
Country
that
was
before
her
in
perfect
quiet
,
broke
out
behind
her
with
the
Dragons
and
Hydras
of
a
most
cruel
War
.
One
of
her
first
publick
Actions
was
the
rescinding
the
Articles
of
Marriage
between
her
Brother
Conti
,
and
the
Daughter
of
Madam
Chevreuse
.
Madam
Chevreuse
had
delivered
Conde
at
his
return
the
Paper
wherein
he
had
engaged
his
Promise
for
the
future
Marriage
;
withal
generously
professing
,
that
she
would
not
go
to
extort
such
matters
.
And
what
,
but
that
which
is
noble
,
could
be
expected
from
the
Line
of
Rohan
?
Enguiens
Match
too
with
the
Dutchess
of
Alenson
,
that
had
been
in
like
manner
interchangeably
signed
per
Verbum
de
Futuro
,
as
the
Canonists
distinguish
,
that
it
would
come
to
nothing
,
Chevreuse
did
presage
,
and
commonly
give
out
;
nor
was
the
Lady
mistaken
,
as
the
event
proved
.
That
Madam
Longueville
should
not
consent
to
the
promised
Alliance
,
no
body
wondred
,
that
knew
her
disposition
,
who
was
only
fond
over
her
Brother
Conti
,
whom
she
ruled
by
Rochefoucault
.
To
have
a
young
Lady
not
unhandsom
,
born
of
such
a
Mother
,
and
carrying
Corinth
in
her
Train
,
to
come
into
Condes
House
,
seemed
a
troublesom
piece
of
Business
but
for
Conde
to
disoblige
Chevreuse
,
Corinth
,
and
their
Retainers
,
who
had
so
great
an
influence
upon
Orleans
,
the
Parliament
,
and
the
City
,
did
amaze
such
as
were
curious
in
Court-Politicks
.
What
was
his
meaning
,
I
know
not
;
this
I
know
,
that
innumerable
mischiefs
were
occasioned
by
it
.
His
Sister
after
her
return
,
pondering
in
her
mind
the
promises
of
Spain
,
and
wholly
set
on
Revenge
and
War
,
cared
not
what
came
of
it
,
sshe
might
but
inflame
and
exasperate
her
Brother
,
and
thereby
reduce
the
Queen
to
fatal
extremities
.
The
Prince
might
by
Cajoling
and
Complements
have
engaged
those
that
were
already
inclined
to
him
.
But
these
were
not
Condes
Methods
;
therefore
at
the
same
time
he
lost
his
old
Friends
.
Bouillon
,
Thurenne
,
with
not
a
few
others
,
men
sufficiently
known
,
fell
from
him
,
and
rendred
themselves
to
the
King
,
being
a
great
Acquist
;
Fortune
indeed
shewing
them
the
way
to
prefer
an
open
cut
to
solid
advantages
,
before
a
by-path
.
The
former
Set
of
Dependents
going
off
from
Conde
,
after
the
King
had
culled
the
better
,
there
remained
Marsin
,
Boutteville
,
Colligny
,
and
Tavanne
.
This
whole
Carriage
was
condemned
as
rash
;
but
the
Prince
having
already
entertained
a
heart
of
withdrawing
,
and
having
already
trucked
with
the
Spaniard
by
his
Sister
,
at
Paris
,
by
Sillery
at
Brussells
,
and
by
Croissy
at
Stenay
,
he
did
politickly
throw
off
those
,
who
,
he
was
assured
,
would
not
stick
to
him
.
The
Spaniard
is
now
no
longer
secretly
practised
,
but
openly
from
Paris
to
Brussells
,
and
from
Brussells
to
Paris
the
Road
is
beaten
with
Condes
Courriers
,
in
whose
and
his
Sister
Longuevilles
house
,
Gabriel
de
Toledo
and
Castillian
Names
ring
.
Never
was
the
King
more
saucily
affronted
.
At
Marle
on
the
Frontiers
of
Picardy
,
was
a
Rendez-vous
about
Vervain
,
where
the
Forces
of
Conde
were
mustered
,
and
received
their
Pay
,
and
the
Press-men
were
observed
.
They
should
rather
have
trained
at
the
Loyre
:
Thus
they
would
have
divided
the
Kings
Forces
,
and
the
Prince
would
have
beenâapprehended
every
where
,
as
ready
to
fall
in
.
At
Marle
the
Troops
of
Conde
were
handled
rudely
,
which
not
being
able
to
stand
the
Choque
of
the
Royalists
were
at
last
routed
.
Nothing
came
more
unexpected
,
nor
more
to
undeceive
the
Court
;
which
was
held
in
the
dark
,
than
the
suing
for
Guyenne
,
which
Conde
did
so
instantly
press
,
as
that
it
might
be
easily
understood
what
was
his
meaning
;
yet
was
it
granted
him
,
and
Burgundy
to
Espernon
in
a
change
of
pernicious
consequence
.
It
seemed
safer
to
yield
to
that
,
than
upon
denial
of
the
request
,
that
Conde
as
Governor
should
both
hold
Burgundy
under
Command
,
by
vertue
of
his
Commission
,
and
also
Guyenne
in
the
affections
of
that
Warlike
people
,
which
breathed
forth
nothing
else
but
Conde
.
But
at
the
same
time
to
have
a
desire
that
Provence
should
be
given
his
Brother
Conti
,
and
Auvergne
the
Duke
of
Nemours
,
and
to
pretend
that
both
Countries
were
promised
him
,
as
Conde
did
,
was
the
first
overtly
presumptuous
Act
after
his
Imprisonment
,
by
which
was
declared
a
contempt
of
the
Government
to
the
undervaluing
of
the
Queen
.
Mazarine
knew
all
at
Bruell
,
and
every
thing
at
Court
depended
upon
his
directions
,
where
Conde
did
sollicit
his
Affairs
,
not
his
own
.
Nothing
did
more
effectually
advance
his
return
than
such
practices
;
so
that
if
the
Prince
had
been
Mazarines
Pensioner
,
he
could
not
more
usefully
have
promoted
his
Interests
,
who
would
have
given
a
great
bribe
to
put
Conde
upon
such
a
Conduct
of
Affairs
.
Therefore
the
Cardinal
advised
to
yield
Conde
all
his
Suits
,
and
so
cut
off
any
occasion
of
the
least
distaste
.
Therefore
by
his
advice
were
Seguier
and
Chavigny
too
called
up
to
Court
,
both
of
them
affected
to
Conde
.
The
former
not
patiently
bearing
the
intermission
of
his
Authority
,
this
latter
infinitely
earnest
after
Alterations
in
the
State
,
a
large
Crop
of
which
he
procured
by
his
subtile
Counsels
;
a
Person
brought
up
within
the
Tropick
of
the
Court
,
could
never
sit
still
in
private
.
At
this
time
the
Seals
were
taken
from
Chasteauneus
,
chiefly
at
the
importunity
of
Conde
,
and
were
given
to
Mole
,
Premier
President
of
Parliament
,
without
advising
with
Orleans
,
who
upon
the
instigation
of
Corinth
,
with
his
Followers
Montresor
and
others
,
fell
into
a
great
passion
,
most
grievously
complaining
of
the
Queens
presumption
,
that
she
should
offer
to
take
so
much
upon
her
.
What
,
said
they
,
will
this
come
too
in
time
?
Nay
,
Corinth
went
so
far
as
to
advise
the
breaking
open
of
Moles
house
,
and
taking
thence
of
the
Seals
.
The
poor
Seals
wandred
up
and
down
to
requite
service
,
either
done
,
or
to
be
done
;
and
were
no
longer
a
Reward
of
Vertue
,
but
the
Wages
of
Faction
.
Such
sad
times
have
we
beheld
.
In
three
so
ancient
men
,
was
as
long-lived
,
and
not
declining
ambition
!
Chasteauneuf
thought
them
his
due
,
as
unjustly
taken
away
;
Seguier
would
hold
them
as
justly
given
him
,
Mole
would
get
them
as
intending
to
merit
them
,
such
power
he
had
in
the
Parliament
.
While
these
and
the
like
occurrents
past
,
Longueville
and
his
Wife
could
not
agree
at
all
,
through
old
and
late
discontents
,
the
causes
of
which
were
so
much
the
more
bitter
,
as
they
were
publick
.
Conde
interposes
as
Mediator
,
either
to
work
reconciliation
;
or
having
use
of
Longueville
,
to
bring
him
into
these
designs
.
Whatever
were
the
cause
,
he
thought
it
his
Interest
to
oblige
the
Wife
,
to
be
obedient
to
her
Husband
,
which
he
effected
.
But
among
the
Articles
of
Reconciliation
agreed
upon
,
this
being
a
principal
one
,
that
the
High-born
Lady
must
leave
the
Town
,
and
plant
the
Seat
of
her
perpetual
Habitation
in
the
midst
of
Normandy
,
and
never
more
think
of
her
dear
Argos
;
she
not
having
the
patience
to
hold
to
such
a
strict
condition
,
thrust
forward
her
Brothers
designs
,
which
were
not
to
have
been
broached
till
some
months
after
;
that
so
the
Rupture
before
plotted
,
coming
speedily
to
appear
between
the
Court
and
Conde
,
she
might
be
delivered
from
her
Noman
Retirement
,
which
was
her
earnest
desire
.
Chavigny
and
Rochefoucault
were
highly
concerned
for
the
Ladys
sufferings
,
and
put
Conde
into
vain
frights
;
That
there
were
private
Conferences
between
Corinth
and
Lyonne
,
which
could
not
but
be
prejudicial
to
the
Prince
;
that
the
Guards
were
scouting
about
Condes
Palace
,
as
though
they
had
been
upon
some
design
.
And
the
like
stories
,
which
are
wont
to
be
aggravated
by
false
glosses
.
The
Spirit
of
Chavigny
,
the
Bellows
of
the
Sedition
hastned
the
Riot
,
not
so
much
to
save
Conde
,
or
rescue
him
out
of
danger
,
for
none
there
was
;
as
to
carry
favour
with
the
Court
,
raising
Troubles
to
render
himself
necessary
.
Such
was
the
mans
sense
,
always
to
serve
himself
of
Conde
,
and
never
to
be
serviceable
to
Conde
,
by
any
means
to
insinuate
himself
into
part
of
the
Ministry
,
and
having
been
laid
aside
,
and
after
a
sort
buried
in
obscurity
,
and
being
out
of
imployment
to
aspire
unto
light
and
business
.
Conde
by
night
withdraws
himself
with
his
Brother
,
Wife
,
and
Sister
,
and
the
Principal
of
his
Followers
to
his
next
Country-house
,
two
miles
out
of
Town
,
called
Sanmaure
,
as
though
he
had
escaped
a
Plot
;
signifying
by
Letters
to
Orleans
âȘ
and
the
Parliament
the
causes
of
his
withdrawing
:
The
Queen
was
troubled
at
his
sudden
departure
,
and
affected
pretence
of
danger
,
but
sought
prudently
to
stop
events
,
and
obviate
imminent
evils
.
Therefore
she
dispatches
to
the
Prince
the
Mareschalâ
Grammont
and
Villeroy
,
provocations
of
his
passion
thus
she
endeavours
to
quench
the
first
breaking
out
,
thinking
it
enough
for
effecting
the
cure
when
she
knew
where
,
and
from
whence
came
the
disease
.
The
Mareschals
return
without
being
allowed
so
much
as
Conference
,
but
only
in
publick
.
Conde
grows
more
rough
,
the
more
he
is
feared
.
He
saith
he
can
be
safe
no
where
,
as
long
as
the
Spirit
of
Mazarine
informed
the
State
:
that
it
acted
in
Servient
,
Tellier
,
and
Lyonne
;
that
Bruel
was
no
longer
the
Seat
of
Banishment
,
but
the
Sibyls
Cave
,
whither
Nations
did
flock
from
all
parts
to
consult
the
Oracle
,
in
the
mean
time
the
Prince
adviseth
the
Spaniards
of
his
having
already
prosperously
begun
his
Enterprise
,
and
practises
his
Plots
without
disguise
,
images
him
friends
,
such
as
were
present
by
Complements
,
at
which
he
was
excellent
;
such
as
were
absent
by
effectual
Letters
;
Longueville
among
the
rest
,
strives
by
my
application
to
win
over
,
not
that
he
thought
his
Brother
so
considerable
,
but
for
Normandies
sake
,
and
reputation
with
the
Spaniard
,
as
though
he
had
been
of
infinite
importance
.
He
had
got
Marsin
his
sworn
Creature
the
Province
of
Catalaunia
.
Dognon
the
Governor
of
Brouage
he
attempted
,
but
the
Army
had
designed
the
Duke
of
Nemours
to
the
Government
,
if
occasion
ăâă
.
Nemours
was
sufficient
for
the
charge
to
be
imposed
.
Mareschal
La
Motte
,
offered
his
service
freely
to
the
Prince
,
not
having
âased
out
of
his
memory
his
unjust
Imprisonment
,
but
without
any
propension
to
Conde
,
whom
he
looked
upon
as
one
in
distress
liberal
to
promise
,
but
when
delivered
out
of
trouble
,
forgetful
.
Bouillon
was
often
at
âââmaure
,
as
inquisitive
and
spying
to
find
some
crevise
of
making
his
own
advantages
.
Not
a
few
others
to
warm
themselves
at
the
light
fire
,
and
to
engage
to
Conde
in
deceitful
Bonds
,
that
so
they
might
afterwards
make
the
better
bargain
when
they
come
to
be
sold
to
the
Court.
In
the
mean
time
money
is
distributed
to
levy
Souldiers
.
Nor
did
they
who
received
it
,
make
good
their
promises
;
but
went
home
,
and
vanquished
poverty
.
This
the
Prince
found
afterwards
in
Guyenne
too
true
to
his
great
disadvantage
.
I
was
sent
for
to
Sanmaure
,
and
came
to
the
Prince
,
but
was
coldly
received
,
because
I
had
,
without
acquainting
him
,
certified
the
Queen
of
Longuevilles
Loyalty
.
Nevertheless
I
refused
not
to
go
speedily
for
Rouen
to
Longueville
,
the
Prince
himself
so
reauesting
me
,
that
I
might
draw
over
to
the
Party
,
if
it
were
possible
,
that
inconstant
and
irresolute
Creature
,
and
might
obtain
leave
for
his
Sister
to
retire
to
Bourges
into
a
Covent
of
Carmelitesses
,
during
the
reign
of
this
malignant
Star
:
but
there
could
be
no
more
thoughts
of
continuing
the
Norâââ
Recess
,
now
the
Scene
of
Affairs
was
altered
.
Having
first
leave
granted
me
by
the
Queen
,
I
âaited
upon
Longueville
,
and
after
mutual
debates
,
ât
was
resolved
to
give
his
Wife
a
Pass
,
and
allow
her
a
standing
Aunuity
:
In
this
her
Husband
offered
himself
no
violence
,
being
glad
to
be
rid
of
her
,
by
which
means
he
should
be
free
in
his
Government
,
and
contented
with
that
Monastick
Retreat
in
Bourges
,
which
she
afterwards
changed
for
Monterotondo
,
and
at
length
Bourdeaux
,
where
being
in
high
Authority
,
she
long
ruled
all
at
her
beck
,
never
thinking
of
her
Husband
.
Afterwards
wearied
with
so
many
troubles
,
the
strength
of
the
party
decaying
,
she
applied
her self
to
her
Husband
alone
,
and
lived
quietly
,
embracing
a
course
of
life
which
was
honourable
,
glorious
,
and
exemplar
;
challenging
nothing
of
her
high
Blood
,
besides
sanctity
of
Conversation
,
with
Reverence
for
Religion
modest
in
her
Garb
,
and
sparing
in
her
Retinue
;
and
at
length
acquired
such
a
reputation
of
singleness
and
purity
,
that
a
body
would
question
whether
it
be
more
powerful
,
either
to
have
always
lived
after
the
strict
rule
of
Holiness
,
or
to
make
good
use
of
the
opportunity
of
repentance
,
and
however
put
rified
the
conscience
may
have
been
,
to
be
restored
to
health
.
Longueville
could
not
determine
what
counsel
to
take
.
To
follow
his
Brother-in-Law
the
Prince
through
Shelves
and
Rocks
,
amongst
which
he
sfailed
,
being
a
great
adventure
.
To
desert
him
he
judged
more
dangerous
,
because
when
Conde
was
swallowed
up
,
Longueville
was
left
but
for
the
next
morsel
.
Returning
,
I
relate
to
the
Queen
,
that
I
found
the
Duke
or
Longueville
constant
in
his
Allegiance
due
to
the
King
;
But
that
he
could
not
well
digest
,
that
Conde
should
be
ruined
,
whose
misfortunes
were
his
own
;
therefore
that
he
humbly
besought
her
Majesty
to
moderate
with
her
prudence
his
attempts
,
which
might
perhaps
be
rash
,
but
were
innocent
,
and
ăâă
to
Cast
headlong
a
valiant
and
good-natur'd
ăâă
,
and
put
him
upon
necessities
of
irreverence
.
ăâă
he
did
not
take
these
courses
of
himself
,
but
there
ăâă
about
him
ill
Counsellors
,
which
ungraciously
ăâă
for
foul
weather
,
because
it
was
their
interest
ăâă
maintained
by
troubles
and
storms
.
Therefore
ăâă
she
would
proceed
gently
;
for
small
delays
have
ăâă
them
great
advantages
.
That
the
Princes
jeaâââsies
might
be
satisfied
without
diminution
of
her
Majesty
.
These
and
the
like
discourses
I
held
,
which
ăâă
Queen
graciously
heard
,
as
one
resolved
neither
ăâă
commence
nor
to
fear
War
.
The
space
for
raiâââng
the
Insurrection
had
been
longer
had
not
Conde
engaged
himself
and
his
Parole
to
the
Spaniââds
,
and
his
Sister
with
Chavigny
pushed
him
on
,
that
of
himself
as
it
were
drew
back
,
and
appeared
ââwilling
.
Divers
Conferences
passed
between
Orleans
and
Conde
,
in
places
near
the
City
,
for
neither
did
Conde
âomâ
to
Paris
,
nor
Orleans
to
Sanmaure
.
Orleans
did
not
dislike
Condes
stiffness
in
removing
the
Creatures
of
Mazarine
,
that
Triumvirate
I
mean
,
which
hath
been
hinted
before
;
but
because
he
saw
him
already
plunged
into
a
Civil
War
,
for
which
the
soul
of
Gaston
had
always
an
aversion
.
Therefore
he
would
qualifie
him
,
and
beg
time
of
him
as
a
favour
.
Conde
would
alledge
the
imminency
of
the
danger
,
and
that
pernicious
counsels
against
him
daily
grew
more
powerful
;
so
that
he
must
provide
for
his
safety
,
and
not
tarry
till
the
wounds
lightly
cured
,
might
break
forth
again
and
ganârene
,
that
the
Queens
displeasure
was
to
be
reckoned
amongst
the
incurable
diseases
.
she
is
â
Spaniard
,
and
what
is
worse
a
Mazarinist
.
Oâleans
,
what
in
him
lay
,
moderated
every
thing
both
before
the
Queen
and
in
the
Parliament-house
.
The
Parliament
passed
a
Vote
to
throw
out
Seâââent
,
Tellier
,
and
Lyonne
,
and
to
remove
them
froâ
meddling
with
the
Affairs
of
State
.
The
Queeâ
complied
with
the
senses
of
Orleans
and
the
Parliament
,
having
used
moderation
without
effect
Tellier
first
laid
down
his
place
.
God
forbid
(
saiââ
he
)
that
I
should
prove
of
a
Minister
of
State
a
stâââ
of
stumbling
;
if
Peace
can
be
had
at
this
rate
,
ăâă
it
.
I
go
my
ways
readily
,
and
with
a
good
wilââ
The
same
said
Servient
and
Lyonne
,
who
had
couââed
Condes
friendship
;
and
were
not
believed
to
ăâă
his
Enemies
.
Therefore
they
depart
,
each
on
rendring
the
Queen
an
account
of
their
Counsel
what
was
to
be
done
;
when
the
departure
of
thâ
Ministers
was
heard
,
Conde
returning
into
thâ
Town
and
his
House
,
first
went
into
the
Parliament
,
gave
the
Members
thanks
,
and
offered
himself
and
his
to
their
service
;
always
charging
Mazarine
,
who
was
in
vain
cast
out
;
If
he
might
leaâ4
behind
him
Spirits
worse
than
himself
.
The
Prince
constancy
was
approved
by
the
Parliament
,
yet
waâ
he
advised
to
act
with
more
moderation
,
and
noâ
provoke
farther
the
anger
of
the
Court
,
that
was
already
so
very
much
incensed
against
him
.
And
because
he
had
provided
already
his
wholâ
State
for
his
Government
of
Guyenne
,
and
solemâ
Entry
into
Bourdeaux
,
he
displayed
it
in
the
samâ
order
at
Paris
before
his
departure
.
You
mighâ
have
seen
Conde
riding
along
the
streets
in
a
Coacâ
âover
glittering
with
silver
,
encompassed
with
âmerous
Lacquays
that
had
left
off
their
mournââg
,
and
shined
in
new
Liveries
:
yet
would
not
ăâă
at
the
King
,
but
waited
upon
Orleans
and
the
âârliament
.
Hence
arose
sinister
reflexions
of
the
ăâă
-
party
;
but
the
admiration
of
the
Commonââople
was
fixed
in
gazing
upon
the
Troops
of
his
ââllowers
,
and
the
Laces
of
his
Pages
.
There
fell
ăâă
an
accident
,
but
such
as
might
have
redounded
a
great
misfortune
.
As
the
Prince
was
walking
ââtly
upon
the
Queens
Course
in
this
Pomp
,
the
ââng
with
a
small
Retinue
went
over
the
same
course
to
go
a
swimming
.
What
,
said
the
Courâârs
,
if
the
King
had
bid
Conde
come
to
him
;
and
ââase
he
had
disputed
it
,
had
commanded
him
to
be
âââhended
.
That
direful
day
might
have
seen
ââe
horrible
thing
,
and
the
Course
have
been
conâââas
of
an
unparallell'd
calamity
by
confused
âââghter
.
For
all
the
Environs
were
crammed
ăâă
Condes
Followers
wearing
Arms.
It
is
strange
ââing
this
whole
civil
Commotion
,
that
when
âirits
were
exlcerated
and
highly
exasperated
ăâă
against
the
other
,
there
should
be
no
person
put
death
;
Only
by
words
and
writings
,
mining
ăâă
countermining
,
without
any
blood-shed
,
exââpt
in
the
field
;
yet
many
would
murmure
,
as
if
ââde
did
affront
the
King
and
Queen
.
Thereââon
Orleans
,
who
always
had
an
Antipathy
to
ââlty
,
being
greatly
offended
,
drew
the
Prince
as
were
against
his
will
into
the
Louvre
,
where
findââg
cold
entertainment
from
both
their
Majesties
,
departed
with
a
firm
resolution
of
coming
thiââ
no
more
again
;
nor
did
he
till
the
Conclusion
of
Peace
a
long
time
after
;
yet
the
Prince
haâ
taken
care
that
he
might
not
have
any
violence
offered
him
in
the
Kings
Palace
,
which
he
had
so
hemmed
in
with
strong
Guards
on
both
sides
,
that
at
the
appearance
of
the
least
stir
,
the
Louvre
must
have
bin
broken
open
,
and
a
terrible
Carnage
would
have
ensued
.
Orleans
too
had
shewed
Conde
a
Dagger
under
his
Vest
,
with
which
he
would
staââ
the
first
Aggressor
.
Conde
little
relied
in
his
thoughts
on
that
Weapon
,
but
principally
on
his
Souldiers
lodged
near
at
hand
.
Matters
were
now
at
a
very
bad
pass
;
Conde
did
more
and
more
engage
with
the
Spaniard
,
which
was
manifest
:
nor
were
the
Plottings
of
War
any
more
secret
,
although
Conti
,
beside
the
practice
of
the
House
,
interrupted
Mole
as
he
was
speaking
in
the
Parliament
,
that
all
were
arming
for
civil
Waâ
as
though
Conde
had
been
wronged
,
who
(
said
his
Brother
)
aimed
at
nothing
but
the
Peace
and
Glory
of
the
Kingdom
.
It
seemed
strange
for
a
Youth
to
utter
these
words
in
the
middle
of
an
Assembly
of
Senators
.
But
this
interruption
was
by
the
instinct
of
others
,
which
Mole
,
the
President
of
Parliament
,
did
gravely
repress
with
this
admonition
,
that
the
Princes
of
the
Blood
were
in
Parliament
no
more
than
Counsellors
.
The
more
Conde
,
his
Brother
,
and
their
Partisans
were
angry
at
it
,
the
more
they
seemed
to
cry
guilty
to
the
charge
,
which
had
they
not
taken
notice
of
,
had
fallen
to
the
ground
.
Sad
was
the
reflexion
and
remorse
of
their
galled
mind
,
either
because
the
greatness
of
the
Design
not
yet
accomplished
,
was
understood
;
or
because
there
is
implanted
in
our
Natures
a
detestation
of
that
which
the
Laws
and
ââatutes
do
condemn
:
Guilt
had
laid
waste
the
conscience
a
waked
.
This
they
did
so
much
fear
,
as
Report
out-stripping
their
Actions
.
The
Queen
being
certified
of
Condes
intention
,
which
daily
broke
out
in
some
overt
Act
,
left
she
might
justly
be
taxed
with
negligence
,
boldly
summons
the
Parliament
and
Grandees
of
the
Palais
,
before
whom
orderly
met
in
a
full
Assembly
,
Orleans
and
Conti
being
present
(
Conde
came
not
having
notice
before-hand
)
a
Memorial
is
read
aloud
by
Bryenne
his
Majesties
Secretary
,
the
substance
of
which
was
to
this
effect
.
An.
1651.
Aug.
17.
That
it
seemed
grievous
to
her
Majesty
,
after
so
many
Ordinances
made
against
Cardinal
Mazarine
,
by
which
he
was
wholly
interdicted
all
communication
with
France
,
that
yet
the
ill-affected
would
not
be
ââiet
,
but
still
sought
an
occasion
of
revolting
by
pretending
Mazarine
,
against
whom
she
not
only
confirmed
all
the
Orders
that
were
already
past
,
but
did
declare
that
it
was
the
Kings
Royal
pleasure
,
they
should
be
assured
,
as
she
did
again
firmly
and
stedfastly
assure
them
of
the
perpetual
and
unrepealable
Banishment
of
Mazarine
:
that
the
very
bad
Designs
of
the
Prince
of
Conde
could
no
longer
be
concealed
,
who
after
so
many
Favours
both
formerly
and
of
late
conferred
upon
him
,
did
openly
plot
and
carry
on
an
Attempt
of
Rebellion
,
to
the
manifest
contempt
of
the
Royal
Majesty
.
It
is
now
the
second
month
that
he
harbours
in
the
City
,
never
so
much
as
rising
,
nor
saluting
the
King
but
once
,
and
that
slightly
;
but
in
the
Parliament
and
all
abroad
disperses
malignant
Speeches
âarping
at
the
Government
,
though
well
managed
,
to
disaffect
the
people
,
and
draw
them
of
from
their
due
Allegiance
,
that
he
had
fortified
his
Garrisons
,
levied
Souldiers
in
the
Countries
,
all
over
which
,
he
had
drawn
such
as
were
ready
to
fall
off
to
his
own
devotion
and
party
;
that
open
Intelligence
was
held
with
the
Spaniard
at
Brussels
continually
;
that
he
had
not
procured
the
Enemies
Garrison
to
be
drawn
out
of
Stenay
,
which
was
a
condition
of
his
Enlargement
;
that
Forces
united
always
at
Marle
,
did
obey
only
the
Orders
of
the
Prince
,
to
the
prejudice
and
affront
of
the
Royal
Army
;
that
those
mho
quitted
his
Majesties
Colours
,
came
in
to
Condes
,
where
was
plundering
instead
of
Martial
Discipline
,
and
Hostility
acted
over
Champaigne
and
Picardy
,
as
though
they
were
the
Enemies
Country
;
that
all
these
were
insolencies
,
which
her
Majesty
could
not
digest
without
casting
away
the
Helm
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
would
hereafter
be
reproached
on
her
.
Therefore
they
should
freely
utter
their
Judgments
,
if
they
had
any
kindlings
of
Duty
towards
his
Majesty
;
that
she
had
disburdened
her
Spirit
in
these
just
complaints
,
the
rather
because
within
twenty
days
she
must
give
up
the
Account
of
her
Regency
to
the
King
that
would
then
come
to
be
of
Age.
All
supprest
their
sense
of
the
matters
herein
mentioned
,
only
Conti
answered
;
That
all
these
were
the
Devices
of
their
Enemies
,
which
his
Brother
would
easily
confute
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Differences
were
fomented
as
served
to
mens
advantages
.
These
are
raised
by
Court-Vassals
,
whose
practice
it
is
to
praise
or
diâpraise
all
things
good
or
bad
alike
.
To
whisper
in
mens
ears
dissemblingly
,
and
upon
design
for
their
private
gains
.
The
naked
merit
of
a
painful
service
carries
no
Honour
with
it
,
for
which
this
wary
and
most
excellent
Prince
is
bought
and
sold
.
Servient
,
Tellier
,
and
Lyonne
being
chased
away
,
Villeroy
and
Bryenne
answered
the
shadow
,
but
not
the
substance
of
a
Privy
Council
.
Zongo
Ondedei
,
one
of
Pizarro
,
strongly
affected
to
Mazarine
,
who
took
the
courage
to
espouse
the
Fate
of
the
Banished
rather
than
pursue
his
own
;
acted
many
things
stoutly
and
gravely
,
which
might
justly
countervail
the
cares
of
a
Prime
Minister
:
But
lying
under
the
imputation
of
being
an
Alien
,
could
advance
no
higher
,
therefore
insinuated
his
Counsels
underhand
by
other
persons
.
Those
openly
designed
were
Chasteauneuf
,
Mole
,
and
Vieville
.
The
first
as
Candidate
of
the
Supreme
Ministry
,
the
second
as
Keeper
of
the
Seals
,
Seguier
being
again
put
out
of
Office
,
who
was
bandied
like
a
Ball
by
this
and
that
hand
,
and
the
last
designed
for
the
Treasury
commonly
called
Barboni
(
because
they
wore
long
Beards
and
Mustaches
turned
up
with
Whiskers
)
hated
of
Conde
,
as
shall
be
related
.
But
during
this
,
Mercoeurs
business
took
up
the
Court
and
Parliament
,
who
scarcely
with
the
Queens
consent
rid
poste
to
Cologne
,
and
was
married
by
the
Archbishop
,
that
Elector
,
to
Mancina
,
Mazarines
Niece
.
Such
assurance
was
there
of
Mazarines
being
in
Favour
.
The
Parliament
was
highly
incensed
against
the
prohibited
Marriage
,
at
the
special
instigation
of
Conde
.
All
this
fell
out
as
well
as
he
could
wish
,
and
from
thence
was
a
powerful
occasion
to
hasten
his
Enterprise
,
because
Mazarine
was
charged
still
to
hold
his
Usurpation
.
Conde
thought
it
his
Interest
to
wash
off
the
Aspersions
cast
upon
him
,
not
so
much
out
of
any
advantage
that
he
reaped
by
it
,
as
to
depress
and
baffle
the
Queen
and
his
Enemies
.
Therefore
he
extorts
from
Orleans
a
Testimonial
to
compurge
him
of
the
Articles
charged
upon
him
.
It
was
read
in
the
Parliament
;
That
the
Duke
of
Orleans
doth
give
assurance
that
the
Forces
are
kept
at
Marle
,
not
without
his
consent
,
who
had
sent
Valone
thither
to
command
Condes
and
his
own
Troops
,
not
Seneterre
,
who
was
a
Mazarinist
;
that
he
as
Lieutenant
General
of
the
Kingdom
,
had
power
so
to
do
as
to
Stenay
;
that
Conde
had
always
offered
his
service
to
out
the
Spaniard
from
it
,
either
by
strength
or
policy
.
In
a
word
,
that
he
had
never
observed
any
thing
in
the
Prince
but
a
mind
upright
,
and
affected
to
the
King
and
Kingdom
.
To
declare
him
guilty
of
high
Treason
for
holding
correspondence
with
the
Enemy
,
was
an
ill
advised
act
,
which
he
was
not
acquainted
with
but
a
few
hours
before
.
Such
a
Remonstrance
from
Orleans
troubled
the
Queen
,
who
,
as
she
was
most
skilful
of
dissembling
,
did
yet
conceal
her
resentments
.
Orleans
craved
pardon
for
what
he
had
done
,
promising
this
should
be
the
last
kindness
he
would
do
Conde
.
It
was
promised
they
would
not
foment
discords
.
Although
the
Parliament
and
Orleans
were
inclined
to
judge
Conde
innocent
;
the
Prince
would
bear
down
his
Enemies
;
therefore
he
publishes
a
Manifesto
very
brave
indeed
.
After
the
Memorial
of
Orleans
,
he
needed
no
farther
Apology
,
yet
that
he
might
obviate
scattered
Rumors
,
and
might
stop
the
mouth
of
Fame
,
and
stiffle
Discovery
,
he
had
these
few
things
to
say
for
himself
.
That
he
held
nothing
in
France
,
but
what
was
left
him
by
his
Father
.
Stenay
and
Clermont
were
recompenses
for
the
Admiralty
of
right
devolved
upon
him
by
the
death
of
the
Duke
of
Breze
Brother-in-Law
.
After
thirteen
months
Imprisonment
,
that
the
Enlargement
might
be
called
by
him
an
Innocent
,
not
a
Favour
,
but
Justice
.
That
he
could
not
be
excluded
from
the
Kings
Council
,
whereof
his
Father
had
been
appointed
the
Principal
by
the
Will
of
the
late
deceased
King
.
That
he
had
not
fortified
his
Party
with
Castles
,
whereas
on
the
contrary
Mazarine
had
possessed
himself
of
all
the
Forts
in
France
by
his
Confidents
.
All
the
Forces
that
he
kept
at
Marle
,
were
not
so
much
to
be
grudged
at
,
whenas
France
owed
to
such
Troops
as
those
the
greatest
part
of
their
Victories
,
and
they
were
kept
a
foot
at
the
appointment
of
the
Duke
of
Orleans
,
who
was
legally
invested
in
the
power
of
ordering
those
Affairs
.
That
he
had
changed
Burgundy
,
where
his
Estate
was
deposited
for
Guyenne
,
that
by
that
means
the
poor
Country
might
be
relieved
from
the
Tyrannical
Government
of
Espernon
.
That
he
had
with
good
reason
kept
the
fortified
Towns
in
Burgundy
,
as
having
been
purchased
by
his
Father
with
the
consent
and
allowance
of
the
King
.
That
nothing
was
given
him
in
lieu
of
them
by
Guyenne
.
That
Servient
,
Tellier
,
and
Lyonne
representing
Mazarine
,
were
justly
removed
with
the
Applause
of
the
Senate
:
but
for
his
forbearing
to
come
to
the
King
and
his
Council
,
that
was
commended
by
all
understanding
men
,
whenas
the
Queen
did
avowedly
conâide
in
his
declared
Enemies
;
that
he
must
beware
of
their
Plots
,
that
he
might
not
fall
again
into
their
Traps
,
wherein
he
had
been
once
already
caught
.
By
his
Intelligence
with
the
Enemy
(
with
which
he
was
so
much
reproached
)
that
he
pretended
nothing
else
but
the
drawing
the
Spaniards
out
of
Stenay
,
which
had
been
his
earnest
desire
from
the
very
moment
of
his
Release
.
That
he
referred
all
the
rest
to
Orleans
,
who
must
either
be
scorned
,
or
he
must
be
credited
.
For
himself
a
Prince
of
the
Blood
to
be
declared
guilty
of
high
Treason
,
at
the
Queens
suggestion
,
was
intolerable
,
and
he
would
not
put
it
up
.
That
the
Givers
of
such
cruel
Counsel
should
be
searched
out
,
and
either
prove
it
by
plain
evidence
,
or
be
punished
.
That
he
submitted
himself
and
all
his
Estate
to
the
Parliament
,
and
would
stand
to
their
Judgments
.
Conde
to
clear
himself
or
the
Articles
,
if
any
were
charged
upon
him
,
and
to
stay
secret
obloquy
,
made
his
Defence
in
the
Parliament
,
most
grievously
complaining
for
the
robbing
of
his
Honour
,
earnestly
intreating
the
Members
,
that
it
might
be
repaired
.
The
wind
favors
him
;
therefore
the
more
confidently
he
inveighed
much
against
the
Counsellors
,
who
out
of
their
implacable
malice
had
devised
these
cursed
ways
for
widening
the
publick
Breaches
,
when
they
ought
to
be
the
Peace
of
the
World
.
Corinth
perceiving
himself
reflected
on
,
stood
up
and
answered
;
That
he
had
done
nothing
but
in
contemplation
of
the
Publicly
Good
,
and
what
became
a
loyal
Subject
that
had
never
broke
his
word
.
Conde
said
,
He
wondred
that
any
should
be
so
bold
as
to
contest
with
him
a
Prince
of
the
Blood
.
Corinth
replied
,
That
he
well
knew
what
was
due
to
such
a
Prince
,
but
in
that
place
entire
obedience
must
be
paid
the
King
only
;
every
Subject
had
his
liberty
.
The
Senators
murmured
,
and
foresaw
that
exasperation
might
break
forth
into
some
dreadful
outrage
,
whenas
the
House
before
the
Senators
eyes
was
not
surrounded
,
but
filled
with
a
Guard
of
Souldiers
.
The
Companies
infense
against
each
other
with
all
sorts
of
Arms
,
threatned
some
strange
Act
of
Barbarity
.
On
the
one
side
the
Condeans
,
on
the
other
the
Corinthians
presented
their
naked
Swords
,
making
a
lamentable
Spectacle
in
the
Parliament-House
.
In
the
Guisian
times
they
would
have
come
to
blows
.
In
our
Age
there
are
many
words
,
but
dry
ones
,
and
that
fetch
no
blood
âȘ
whether
it
be
that
some
bloodless
Comet
have
blasted
the
temper
of
mens
spirits
;
or
whether
every
one
were
afraid
,
while
the
matter
yet
was
doubtful
and
dangerous
.
Mole
President
of
the
Parliament
admonished
;
That
this
was
a
place
of
Authority
,
not
of
Wrangling
;
the
riotous
multitude
on
both
sides
should
be
dismissed
,
and
the
Senators
left
liberty
of
voting
.
Then
turning
to
Conde
;
Your
Highness
should
by
your
good
Example
shew
the
way
of
Reverence
and
Honour
due
to
this
Assembly
.
Immediately
Conde
receiving
his
admonition
,
sends
out
Rochefoucault
to
bid
his
Followers
be
gone
.
Corinth
himself
goes
and
requests
the
same
of
his
.
At
his
return
,
being
caught
by
Rochefoucault
between
the
door
and
the
Posts
,
and
there
near
crushed
to
pieces
,
had
almost
rendred
himself
a
pleasant
spectacle
to
the
cruelty
of
his
curaged
Enemies
.
But
that
Champlatre
by
his
entrance
released
the
crowded
Prelate
.
Thereupon
rose
a
more
grievous
quarrel
between
Corinth
and
Rochefoucault
and
their
Friends
.
These
high
commotions
of
Spirit
were
composed
without
bloodshed
.
Who
would
have
believed
it
in
such
a
boystrous
time
?
Orleans
moderated
the
swelling
animosity
;
nor
did
Corinth
come
any
more
into
the
House
;
and
Conde
but
with
a
small
Train
.
Such
is
the
humor
of
the
French
,
that
every
one
had
rather
pull
the
State
down
with
him
,
than
be
broken
by
his
own
particular
fall
.
Conde
the
day
after
going
from
the
Parliament-House
to
his
own
home
,
light
in
the
midst
of
the
street
upon
a
solemn
Procession
,
in
the
Rear
of
which
,
after
the
usual
fashion
came
Corinth
in
his
Archbishops
Robes
.
Conde
made
a
halt
,
and
falling
upon
his
knees
,
was
content
to
be
crossed
and
blest
by
Corinth
.
The
people
that
stood
about
him
murmured
,
being
ready
at
his
least
intimation
to
sacrifice
the
Archbishop
to
his
Procession
.
But
there
past
threatning
words
,
an
uncertain
murmur
,
no
blow
.
One
would
have
said
it
had
thundered
without
rain
.
Conde
unacquainted
with
whiffling
in
the
streets
,
and
plotting
higher
things
in
his
mind
,
about
this
time
is
cleared
in
the
Parliament
from
the
charge
laid
against
him
,
as
though
it
were
false
,
at
the
motion
of
the
Queen
.
What
so
weak
a
Subject
could
at
that
time
supply
the
defect
of
Royal
Power
?
What
could
a
Woman
do
?
She
took
patiently
what
was
impossible
for
her
to
redress
.
Some
there
were
that
entertained
hopeful
opinions
concerning
the
quiet
to
ensue
,
now
so
many
obstructions
were
removed
.
But
Troubles
again
traversed
all
from
a
new
disturbance
arising
upon
occasion
of
the
Barboni
.
Three
Creatures
there
were
,
Chasteauneuf
,
Mole
,
Vieville
.
These
Conde
cannot
abide
.
The
first
an
Enemy
,
as
he
said
,
to
his
Blood
,
for
the
very
sentence
given
against
ăâă
at
Thalose
.
The
second
as
disgusted
,
because
he
had
preferred
the
Son
of
Violet
rather
than
of
Chaplatre
.
The
last
Vieville
wrought
into
Maâârines
favour
by
the
artifices
of
the
Princess
Palatine
That
these
three
superannuated
Seniors
after
the
vigour
of
their
Age
is
extinguished
,
should
by
Embers
of
cunning
Policies
be
raised
again
to
life
,
and
yet
incurably
infected
with
Court-ambition
.
Not
Confidents
,
but
Vassals
of
the
Cardinal
,
worse
than
Servient
,
Tellier
,
and
Lyonne
.
What
did
more
nearly
touch
the
Prince
,
was
the
fall
of
Maison
who
by
this
was
removed
from
the
Treasury
,
from
whom
Conde
had
by
the
means
of
Chaâigny
procured
a
great
and
desperate
debt
from
the
Exchequer
.
Conde
had
no
juster
cause
of
indignation
;
nor
will
any
deny
that
,
but
he
who
is
not
instructed
in
the
qualities
of
the
new-fashion'd
Barbonismo
,
or
Sect
of
Whiskers
;
yet
whatever
the
Prince
complained
upon
that
occasion
,
they
who
had
good
insight
in
those
Intrigues
,
well
uuderstood
that
he
was
glad
of
it
,
having
thereby
a
colour
of
withdrawing
offered
to
him
,
which
he
greatly
longed
after
,
being
already
engaged
to
the
Spaniards
and
so
many
friends
.
But
the
day
of
the
Kings
Majority
approached
,
at
which
Solemnity
Conde
did
not
intend
to
assist
.
Such
like
Festivals
being
not
unfrequently
polluted
with
some
act
of
cruelty
;
yet
could
he
not
conveniently
be
absent
.
He
makes
use
of
my
service
to
perswade
the
Queen
that
it
was
for
the
advantagâ
of
the
State
,
that
he
should
give
Longueville
a
meeting
to
treat
about
some
important
Affairs
.
Longueville
declined
conference
with
Conde
,
lest
he
should
be
insensibly
drawn
into
a
dangerous
Confederacy
âȘ
I
disposed
him
to
yield
his
consent
to
a
Treaty
âȘ
when
I
had
studiously
advised
him
by
Letter
,
that
the
Queen
injoyned
him
to
do
it
.
Trie
a
Seat
of
Longuevilles
,
a
Summer
days
Journey
from
the
City
towards
Normandy
,
was
the
place
appointed
for
the
Meeting
,
to
different
ends
.
Condes
was
,
that
he
might
decently
withdraw
himself
from
the
solemn
day
,
and
withal
might
win
to
his
design
Longueville
,
who
had
hitherto
by
me
given
him
ambiguous
promises
:
But
the
others
aim
was
to
avert
the
Prince
from
his
Attempts
,
and
comply
with
the
Queen
,
who
in
truth
neither
regarded
the
Conference
,
nor
the
issue
of
it
,
using
dissimulation
,
and
and
unwilling
to
abet
her
own
being
deceived
.
Therefore
first
comes
Longueville
to
Trie
,
and
towards
the
evening
Conde
attended
but
with
a
few
,
taking
his
way
through
Pontoise
;
where
he
gathered
a
strong
and
stout
Party
,
that
if
any
Plot
should
be
laid
for
him
,
he
might
get
clear
off
.
Nor
did
he
guess
amiss
:
For
it
was
scarcely
known
by
Rumors
dispersed
,
that
the
Prince
passed
towards
Normandy
by
Pontoise
,
but
Madam
Esguillione
,
who
was
of
very
great
power
in
Pontoise
,
offered
her
assistance
to
the
Queen
for
the
surprising
Conde
,
which
Harcourt
also
promised
that
he
would
execute
.
The
Queen
refused
the
proffer
,
either
cut
off
by
the
difficulty
,
and
narrowness
of
time
,
or
because
she
apprehended
worse
consequences
.
The
King
with
the
Queen
came
into
the
Parliament
,
Sept.
7.
1661.
with
a
solemn
Pomp.
Her
Majesty
having
made
a
short
Recital
of
her
Regency
,
delivers
up
the
Government
to
her
Son
,
to
whom
kneeling
down
,
she
offfered
to
kiss
his
Hand
,
which
the
King
decently
refusing
,
saluted
his
Mother
,
giving
her
thanks
for
having
sate
at
the
Helm
,
and
safely
steered
the
Vessel
of
the
State
through
so
many
Quick-sands
and
Rocks
.
The
Chancellor
Seguier
restored
to
his
former
place
,
said
more
.
But
ăâă
the
Premier
President
,
most
largely
recounted
the
dangers
escaped
,
and
the
hopes
of
approaching
quiet
.
The
Assembly
being
dissolved
,
they
returned
in
the
same
order
to
the
Louvre
,
where
the
Queen
managed
all
after
the
same
custom
and
manner
as
she
was
wont
before
,
and
therefore
this
Turn
of
Government
need
not
distinguish
the
beginning
of
a
new
Book
by
its
date
,
whenas
there
was
no
Change
in
the
Order
of
the
Supreme
Government
.
Chasteauneuf
is
named
Prime
Minister
;
Mâle
Keeper
of
the
Seal
,
Vieville
High
Treasurer
.
There
were
the
usual
Congratulations
and
Joying
of
Friends
,
as
all
Novelty
is
spent
in
flattery
.
Thanks
were
given
Seguier
,
and
promises
renewed
of
bringing
him
into
his
former
Credit
,
which
he
seemed
to
take
well
;
for
having
found
all
things
generally
successful
,
if
any
adversity
did
fall
out
,
his
bearing
it
patiently
prepared
matter
for
his
praise
.
The
first
Action
of
the
new
King
was
to
fall
upon
Condes
Forces
at
Marle
,
Guise
,
and
Vervain
a
little
City
between
them
,
as
though
they
were
the
Enemies
.
They
were
partly
routed
,
and
some
slain
,
part
under
the
Command
of
Tavan
recovered
Stenay
,
the
Sanctuary
of
the
Wretches
.
Orleans
used
all
possible
endeavours
to
obtain
as
a
favour
the
benefit
of
three
days
respit
,
which
was
denied
him
.
From
thence
was
the
rise
of
the
Civil
War
,
which
I
shall
recount
in
the
following
Book
more
at
large
.
Condes
not
being
present
at
the
Inauguration
of
the
King
,
astonished
all
men
.
Conti
before
the
proceeding
of
the
Train
,
delivered
the
King
a
Letter
from
his
Brother
,
wherein
he
excused
his
Absence
,
and
promised
unspotted
Allegiance
to
his
Majesty
.
The
King
took
it
slightingly
,
and
read
it
not
over
.
When
this
was
heard
at
Trie
,
Conde
put
of
a
face
of
grief
,
to
pacifie
Longueville
,
who
positively
affirmed
that
the
Queen
would
set
all
this
right
in
time
;
dehorting
the
Prince
by
prudent
Councils
from
Civil
War
.
For
his
Wealths
sake
left
him
by
his
Father
,
an
Estate
deposited
in
sure
Banks
,
not
on
a
fâiling
bottom
,
his
Charges
,
his
Governments
,
the
long
Hands
of
the
King
,
whose
Age
now
grew
up
to
Revenge
;
That
civil
War
is
a
dreadful
Beasts
which
hath
eternally
devoured
its
Followers
.
That
such
an
Action
hath
this
inconveniency
attending
it
,
as
to
level
all
that
are
Accessories
in
the
Guilt
.
That
the
very
Perswaders
of
it
will
voluntarily
return
to
their
Duty
,
when
they
are
tired
out
with
their
present
condition
,
and
detect
the
fallacy
by
a
treachery
throwing
the
Odium
upon
him
.
That
by
money
received
for
the
use
of
the
Wars
,
after
they
have
a
very
little
while
abated
their
domestical
necessities
,
they
shall
bring
upon
themselves
beggary
afresh
.
On
the
Kings
side
there
shines
out
a
fair
expectation
of
Riches
,
Charges
,
Honours
;
that
he
might
promise
,
but
could
not
perform
any
such
thing
.
Thereupon
would
follow
a
languishing
contempt
in
their
Spirits
,
who
seemed
now
the
Incendiaries
of
the
Civil
Discords
.
This
and
the
like
said
Longueville
,
which
I
the
more
boldly
affirm
,
because
I
was
only
by
and
heard
it
.
Conde
having
setled
his
resolutions
upon
War
,
âlights
such
admonitions
,
discovers
to
his
Brother
his
Designs
,
Strength
,
Confederacies
already
made
with
the
Spaniard
and
English
;
that
the
Grandees
of
the
Kingdom
were
inclined
to
him
;
the
intended
Revolts
of
Marsin
and
Dognon
;
and
that
Nemours
should
by
Prerogative
of
Blood
command
in
chief
the
Army
,
if
case
of
his
own
falling
sick
.
Set
up
,
âaith
he
,
thy
Standard
in
the
midst
of
Normandy
,
among
a
people
that
will
flock
in
out
of
their
very
hate
of
Mazarine
,
who
is
greedily
expected
by
the
Queen
,
and
will
come
to
the
derision
of
the
Parliament
,
and
trampling
upon
their
Ordinances
.
What
can
you
expect
,
when
torn
from
me
,
but
destruction
and
ruine
?
They
fall
upon
me
first
,
that
they
might
more
easily
come
at
you
,
whose
Government
they
grudge
at
,
as
being
near
the
City
,
and
Mazarine
designs
it
to
himself
.
Longueville
replies
,
All
that
he
held
in
Normandy
were
weak
Castles
,
neither
supplied
with
Provision
,
nor
Men
;
that
he
had
no
Money
,
and
his
Authority
every
day
abated
,
wherein
the
strength
of
War
consisted
.
Then
,
saith
Conde
,
Do
you
forsake
and
abandon
me
to
Vengeance
?
I
will
never
do
so
,
saith
he
;
Rather
let
my
whole
Estate
perish
:
In
all
adversities
I
will
bear
you
company
,
and
run
the
hazard
with
you
with
all
my
strength
.
Hereupon
they
shook
hands
,
and
engaged
their
words
,
mutually
:
The
Prince
adds
;
The
Spaniards
will
supply
money
,
the
English
,
men
.
At
the
English
Name
,
Longueville
the
Off-spring
of
John
de
Dunon
,
who
gloriously
chased
that
odious
Nation
from
the
Bounds
of
France
,
started
.
I
had
rather
at
my
own
charges
,
saith
he
,
raise
Souldiers
.
But
if
the
weight
of
the
War
should
be
discharged
first
upon
me
,
I
am
not
half
able
to
sustain
the
Royal
Choques
:
Conde
answers
,
I
will
be
with
you
,
and
march
speedily
in
the
Head
of
2000
choice
Horse
.
Whether
Longueville
were
inwardly
touched
,
or
whether
not
having
the
confidence
to
deny
Conde
any
thing
to
his
face
,
he
promised
all
,
in
my
single
presence
.
The
Prince
rejoyced
that
thereby
he
added
authority
to
the
confederacy
,
and
increased
in
reputation
with
the
Spaniard
and
English
;
but
when
he
saw
all
frowning
upon
him
,
he
prepares
to
withdraw
the
safest
way
he
could
possible
;
after
that
the
Conference
at
Trie
was
over
,
he
retires
to
his
House
at
Chantilly
,
avoiding
to
pass
by
Pontoise
,
apprehending
the
being
laid
for
in
his
return
,
not
without
grounds
.
I
went
back
for
Paris
,
to
give
her
Majesty
an
account
of
what
had
past
in
the
Conference
,
and
,
to
say
truth
,
I
spared
Longueville
,
whose
promising
Conde
assistance
,
had
it
been
revealed
,
would
have
diverted
the
first
Expedition
of
the
Court
upon
Normandy
,
and
within
a
month
have
reduced
the
Governor
of
that
Country
to
extremities
,
which
would
have
been
not
unwelcome
to
the
Prince
.
So
small
a
respit
had
been
a
vast
benefit
to
him
,
that
must
otherwise
be
surprised
and
crushed
.
Coming
to
the
Prince
at
Chantilly
,
I
found
him
melancholy
for
want
of
all
things
in
the
very
preparing
for
his
War
;
no
money
,
no
men
levied
.
His
Camp
and
Quarters
uncertain
;
some
hopes
indeed
from
the
Spaniard
,
none
from
the
English
;
for
Cromwell
,
a
notorious
Impostor
,
would
give
no
Categorical
answer
.
Never
was
so
great
a
superstructure
of
business
set
upon
so
weak
and
tottering
foundations
.
As
I
was
discoursing
with
the
Prince
in
the
Wood
of
Chantilly
,
comes
in
a
Courrier
from
Longueville
with
Letters
,
wherein
he
expressed
that
he
could
not
attempt
any
thing
in
Normandy
,
till
he
had
first
received
the
100000
Crowns
that
were
due
to
him
from
Conde
,
and
his
Wives
Jewels
,
by
pawning
of
which
he
might
raise
some
sum
of
money
to
defray
the
first
Charges
of
the
War
.
From
that
time
forward
Conde
concluded
that
nothing
was
to
be
hoped
for
from
Longueville
,
but
what
should
be
perpetually
ambiguous
and
insignificant
.
For
neither
would
his
Wife
give
her
Husband
the
Jewels
which
she
stood
in
need
of
for
her
own
occasions
in
this
Juncture
,
nor
could
the
Prince
pay
the
money
he
was
indebted
to
him
,
not
having
sufficient
for
himself
to
serve
for
his
Journey
to
Guyenne
;
yet
he
promised
to
do
his
endeavour
,
that
he
might
be
plentifully
supplied
from
the
Spaniard
,
which
Longueville
looked
upon
as
frivolous
,
and
would
have
refused
,
had
it
been
brought
,
being
resolved
not
to
take
to
the
Party
,
but
temporize
,
and
never
joyn
with
Conde
,
till
he
had
the
better
.
The
Prince
no
longer
brooking
destructive
delays
,
propounds
to
the
Queen
by
an
understanding
man
equal
conditions
of
agreement
,
to
watch
his
occasion
of
getting
away
securely
,
whilst
the
Court
was
entertained
with
fair
promises
.
Therefore
as
the
Queen
is
scanning
of
them
,
he
by
long
marches
having
past
the
Loyre
at
the
Town
of
Sully
,
rides
for
Bourges
,
accompanied
with
some
Troops
of
Horse
;
that
famous
City
out
of
the
memory
of
his
Fathers
quiet
retirement
,
receives
the
Prince
with
all
demonstrations
of
forward
service
,
being
ready
to
do
the
same
to
the
King
coming
speedily
after
.
Orleans
leaving
nothing
unassayed
,
sends
to
Augerville
to
bring
back
Conde
,
now
running
headlong
with
offers
of
equal
conditions
in
the
Queens
Name
.
That
he
might
continue
at
liberty
in
his
Government
of
Guyenne
,
and
his
Forces
,
which
he
was
so
much
concerned
for
,
should
have
Quarters
allowed
them
,
and
be
secure
from
all
violence
and
assault
:
all
which
Orleans
promised
he
would
warrant
.
Conde
might
and
ought
to
have
received
these
terms
.
For
had
the
Cardinal
returned
,
he
would
have
yielded
the
Prince
any
thing
,
planted
upon
so
many
supports
,
besides
the
favour
of
the
Parliament
,
which
he
would
have
acquired
by
this
means
;
but
if
Mazarine
had
failed
of
all
hopes
of
return
,
he
had
obliged
to
himself
all
France
that
drcaded
the
relapsing
into
civil
Commotions
.
But
Fortune
,
the
Empress
of
life
,
always
making
sport
at
mischief
,
disappointed
the
wisest
Councils
:
for
the
Messenger
of
Orleans
goes
not
to
Augerville
,
where
Conde
then
was
,
in
the
County
of
Gaines
,
but
to
Augerville
in
Beaux
by
a
stupid
mistake
.
From
whence
sprung
many
calamities
.
Near
the
same
time
Croissy
sent
from
Orleans
,
overtakes
the
Prince
at
Bourges
,
and
propounds
the
conditions
already
mentioned
.
Conde
answers
he
cannot
yield
his
agreement
to
the
offers
without
advising
with
his
Brother
Conti
,
Sister
Longueville
,
Nemours
,
and
Rochefoucault
,
who
were
hard
by
at
Monte-Rotondo
;
therefore
he
communicates
the
whole
matter
with
them
.
Who
with
one
accord
dislike
all
that
Croissy
had
brought
,
as
being
unsound
.
That
Guyenne
doth
already
open
her
arms
to
her
expected
and
beloved
Prince
;
the
Country
is
full
of
Souldiers
,
every
where
listed
in
his
favour
.
Brouage
and
Blaye
ready
to
revolt
;
the
Spanish
Forces
have
already
weighed
Anchor
from
the
Coast
of
Guipuscoa
.
That
nothing
is
more
base
than
to
trust
ăâă
such
a
Peace
.
For
what
can
be
expected
from
Orleans
after
breach
of
Articles
?
Should
such
a
power
of
Nobility
prepared
for
War
,
so
many
Commanders
,
so
many
People
in
Arms
be
thus
baffled
.
The
Iron
must
be
struck
while
it
is
hot
.
It
hath
been
always
prejudicial
to
defer
when
matters
are
in
a
readiness
.
To
these
and
the
like
was
added
a
great
stroke
by
the
Letters
of
Chavigny
,
who
exhorted
the
Prince
seriously
to
War
;
That
frivolous
delays
were
propounded
till
his
heat
should
be
over
,
and
then
the
naked
Prince
,
destitute
of
his
Followers
,
should
be
surprised
unawares
.
Conde
having
reflected
on
all
particulars
,
and
pondered
so
many
events
in
his
thought
,
consented
to
War
,
then
turning
to
his
Brother
,
Sister
,
and
those
in
Company
,
with
his
naked
Sword
,
saith
;
I
drew
this
unwillingly
,
which
will
not
easily
return
into
its
Scabbard
;
he
shall
be
the
Rebel
,
he
that
obliges
me
to
be
his
Enemy
against
my
hearts
desire
.
The
Quarter
of
Bourges
being
insecure
,
this
was
done
at
Moroâce
.
Here
did
the
Heavens
first
frown
upon
Conde
.
Here
did
Fortune
first
change
with
breach
of
Faith
.
Being
always
distracted
with
various
perplexities
,
he
could
hardly
steal
from
labour
and
anxiety
any
repose
for
his
wearied
eyes
.
He
goes
directly
for
Bourdeaux
to
levy
Souldiers
,
being
assured
that
the
King
would
press
on
,
and
march
speedily
upon
him
.
Before
he
went
from
Bourges
,
he
pillaged
the
Banks
of
the
Customers
;
which
was
the
first
Action
of
Hostility
,
a
provocation
of
mischief
.
They
say
that
the
Prince
in
his
Passage
viewed
Xantogne
.
Xantogne
is
little
in
compass
,
commodious
in
situation
,
lying
upon
the
Ocean
,
cut
by
the
Charenton
;
fruitful
in
Corn
,
and
infinitely
abounding
in
all
Commodities
.
It
is
beholden
to
the
richness
of
its
soil
,
that
it
hath
been
the
Scene
of
great
Actions
.
Besides
innumerable
fights
,
of
which
it
is
fanatically
proud
,
that
at
Bassay
is
famous
,
wherein
Lewis
Bourbon
the
great
Grandfather
of
this
Conde
,
the
most
famous
Hater
of
the
Mass
,
and
Scourge
of
Mass-mongers
was
slain
.
The
Prince
had
a
great
desire
to
march
over
the
Field
of
Battel
,
and
the
Plain
imbrued
in
the
blood
of
Condes
,
which
as
he
rid
over
,
his
Sword
fell
out
of
his
Belt
.
An
unhappy
token
in
their
Judgment
,
who
are
taken
with
idle
fancies
,
not
versed
in
Action
,
who
do
confidently
slight
all
Prognostications
,
joyful
,
sad
,
or
ambiguous
,
and
do
not
think
that
the
Divine
Goodness
hath
such
concern
for
mankind
,
as
by
these
means
to
be
willing
to
discover
future
contingencies
.
The
Prince
received
at
Bourdeaux
,
not
as
a
Governor
,
but
as
Soveraign
Lord
,
and
Arbitrary
Disposer
of
them
,
being
deceived
with
such
a
flattering
serenity
,
displaces
the
Prime
President
of
the
Parliament
of
Guyenne
,
as
not
being
enough
at
his
devotion
;
surveys
the
Towns
and
Cities
,
recruits
his
Troops
,
and
fixes
all
for
the
future
War
,
which
was
to
be
removed
indeed
according
to
agreement
into
poor
Xantogne
,
lying
too
near
to
Bourdeaux
.
The
King
without
intermitting
any
time
coming
with
his
Army
to
Bourges
,
finds
the
forward
affections
of
that
ancient
City
;
in
favour
of
which
he
ordered
the
high
Cittadel
(
wherein
the
Duke
of
Orleans
afterward
Lewis
XII
.
had
been
imprisoned
)
to
be
demolished
.
By
that
means
restoring
to
his
good
Subjects
their
liberty
,
having
overthrown
that
shelter
of
Tyranny
.
Madam
Conde
and
Madam
Longueville
,
with
their
Followers
forsake
Montrond
,
an
insecure
Harbour
,
and
come
trembling
to
Bourdeaux
to
the
Prince
.
Palvausse
,
with
a
lingring
Siege
,
takes
,
or
rather
obliges
to
surrender
the
Castle
,
having
been
some
months
held
out
by
Persane
.
For
this
notable
piece
of
service
he
obtained
the
Dignity
of
Mareschal
of
France
,
which
was
given
promiscuously
in
times
of
confusion
,
and
grew
cheap
.
The
Affairs
of
the
Province
of
Bourges
,
being
duely
set
in
order
by
Chasteauneuf
,
Villeroy
,
and
Bryenne
,
who
managed
their
business
with
wonderful
faithfulness
and
diligence
;
the
whole
Court
at
the
beginning
of
November
cometh
âȘ
to
Poictou
to
press
upon
Conde
,
being
in
Arms
,
by
Harcourt
the
stout
General
of
the
Royal
Army
.
Now
was
all
France
hotly
engaged
against
it self
,
either
as
to
Affections
or
Arms
,
with
a
divided
taking
of
parties
.
Some
looked
upon
the
fire
made
âȘ
Others
run
into
the
flames
;
But
to
be
sure
the
Spaniards
chiefly
rejoyced
,
shedding
the
Poyson
of
Discord
,
who
under
the
Marquess
of
Mortara
,
beleaguered
Barcellona
,
Don
Juan
of
Austria
blocking
up
the
Port
with
his
Fleet.
To
such
an
Attempt
did
the
calamity
of
France
invite
them
,
but
especially
the
miserable
condition
of
Barcellona
,
where
the
raging
Pestilence
laid
low
innumerable
heads
,
and
every
day
Corps
of
old
and
young
were
carried
in
throngs
to
the
grave
.
But
the
Revolt
of
Marsin
was
more
pestilent
than
the
Plague
it self
,
who
governing
Catalaunia
with
the
Kings
Commission
,
by
a
President
unheard
of
till
this
Age
,
having
left
that
renowned
Principality
at
a
prey
to
the
Spaniard
,
wheeled
off
to
Conde
,
according
to
Covenants
already
accorded
.
Hereupon
the
Spaniards
privy
to
the
intended
Treachery
,
raised
up
their
Spirits
so
as
to
think
of
Barcellona
.
If
there
were
any
over-sight
committed
in
the
absence
of
Mazarine
,
it
was
this
;
the
restoring
of
Marsââ
to
the
Government
of
Catalaunia
,
engaged
to
Conde
for
his
Marriage
procured
with
difficulty
,
being
a
strong
bond
of
Confederacy
,
and
that
would
turn
from
his
trust
through
an
exulceration
of
Spirit
upon
memory
of
his
Imprisonment
.
There
was
nothing
that
Guyenne
did
not
hope
for
from
a
Prince
greater
than
expectation
.
He
to
answer
their
desires
,
and
his
own
promises
,
sends
a
raw
Army
under
a
more
raw
Commander
Rochefoucault
into
Xantogne
.
Siege
is
laid
against
the
poor
Town
Cognac
,
and
of
the
sudden
raised
by
the
coming
of
Harcourt
.
The
fault
was
laid
upon
Charenton
,
a
steep
River
that
was
then
pleased
to
overflow
and
pass
its
Banks
,
bearing
the
Bridge
away
by
the
flood
.
Xantogne
thus
unluckily
entred
,
refused
to
be
the
School
of
that
unhappy
War
.
Rochel
it self
heretofore
the
Sanctuary
of
Rebellion
,
breaths
Allegiance
to
the
King
,
and
rescues
it self
from
the
service
of
Dognon
,
rendring
themselves
and
all
theirs
into
the
hands
of
Estissac
,
one
who
was
no
Souldier
.
This
is
Huguenot-like
in
adversary
not
to
prove
unfaithful
.
The
like
was
done
at
Egerville
or
S.
Angels
,
the
stout
courage
of
the
Lads
of
which
Town
was
of
great
moment
to
the
Relief
of
Cognac
.
It
is
a
little
City
upon
the
Bouton
,
a
River
,
or
rather
obscure
Bourne
,
not
unpleasant
,
where
the
Grandfather
of
this
Conde
dyed
by
ill
practices
,
and
his
Father
Henry
was
born
.
There
was
my
Cradle
rocked
:
Here
I
first
drew
the
air
.
This
Land
,
I
know
not
how
came
first
to
be
touched
by
me
that
am
descended
of
Venetian
Ancestors
,
and
those
Illustrious
ones
.
If
the
Glories
of
my
Country
have
been
omitted
by
me
,
perhaps
they
will
be
repeated
by
Posterity
;
and
S.
Angel
in
Ages
to
come
will
rejoyce
to
have
had
me
born
and
bred
in
her
.
At
Bourges
was
a
whisper
of
Mazarines
return
;
all
along
the
way
of
Poicters
a
murmuring
;
at
Poiction
certain
News
of
it
.
Nor
had
the
Cardinal
any
her
Intercessor
for
his
Revocation
than
Conde
and
Corinth
,
while
both
of
them
bend
their
designs
to
the
contrary
.
The
Queen
openly
declares
she
is
resolved
to
re-instate
him
,
being
unjustly
banished
,
in
his
former
Dignity
.
It
was
for
the
publick
Good
,
and
must
no
longer
be
delayed
.
One
might
see
persons
nurtur'd
,
up
in
the
Court-trade
,
Masters
at
speaking
what
they
meant
not
,
and
not
speaking
what
they
mean
,
could
not
keep
to
themselves
their
inward
thoughts
,
but
must
over-wisely
vent
the
Secret
:
That
the
Kingdoms
ruine
is
hastned
,
Condes
Forces
increased
,
the
Faction
strengthned
,
and
such
like
politick
hints
,
not
according
to
rules
of
Court-subtility
,
which
prying
into
the
future
,
never
discloses
its
thought
,
keeping
still
close
the
secret
sense
of
its
soul
.
Bryenne
is
commanded
to
write
Letters
of
Revocation
from
his
Banishment
.
How
uneasie
was
that
to
him
,
who
a
few
months
before
,
had
advised
Mazarine
with
too
forward
Counsel
to
return
to
Rome
,
where
he
might
be
more
useful
to
promote
the
Affairs
of
France
in
the
Conclave
.
The
Cardinal
intent
upon
his
future
Journey
,
was
already
got
to
Bouillon
,
debating
with
many
what
should
be
done
;
but
what
he
would
do
,
with
very
few
,
or
alone
by
himself
;
there
being
no
better
Counsels
than
such
as
are
unknown
.
Hocquincourt
,
with
Grancey
and
Navailles
,
were
the
principal
of
Mazarines
Counsel
,
all
this
way
stout
in
personal
valour
,
perpetual
despiser
of
life
.
Fabert
subtle
in
his
way
,
spyed
what
was
likely
to
be
,
and
watched
to
make
advantage
of
what
was
present
.
The
gross
of
the
Auxiliaries
now
coming
was
6000
men
in
Arms
,
of
great
importance
to
turn
the
scale
at
that
time
.
The
Cardinal
dispatches
before
him
some
of
his
Family
with
Letters
to
his
firm
Friends
,
and
others
wavering
,
nay
to
his
fierce
Enemies
,
making
large
promises
.
The
Parliament
of
Paris
is
incensed
,
Orleans
frets
,
the
Sling
,
after
their
wonted
manner
,
rage
.
Mazarine
and
his
Complices
are
defamed
all
about
in
Paris
.
Forces
are
hastned
to
block
up
the
Loyre
,
and
cut
off
the
Pass
of
the
Yone
,
under
Commanders
,
either
Gown-men
,
or
cowardly
;
that
should
so
fight
as
to
be
beaten
.
The
Cardinal
having
overcome
the
disadvantage
of
ways
,
the
fierceness
of
people
,
the
violence
of
Rivers
,
and
the
scantness
of
Bridges
comes
,
through
Hostile
Armies
,
safe
to
Poictou
.
His
March
was
quiet
,
as
of
one
hastning
to
Peace
,
such
as
no
Townsman
,
no
Peasant
dreaded
.
Not
nice
in
his
Quarters
:
not
extorting
Reverence
by
Terrour
,
but
obliging
Love
by
Courtesie
.
An
humility
respectful
to
all
,
for
qualifying
mens
prejudicate
hatred
.
Himself
differed
from
the
rest
in
nothing
but
Worth
;
nor
would
he
allow
himself
rest
,
but
after
all
.
Undaunted
amidst
so
many
menacing
Acts
of
Parliament
,
was
not
slack
in
allowing
admission
to
his
person
;
but
exposed
to
meeting
and
sight
.
One
might
see
the
people
every
where
crowd
in
at
his
open
door
,
and
inviting
Threshold
.
He
was
secure
by
the
watching
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
defended
by
naked
Innocence
,
the
safest
Guard
,
and
Integrity
an
impregnable
Garrison
.
The
King
and
Duke
of
Anjou
came
to
meet
him
,
and
next
to
the
Kings
side
entred
Mazarine
into
Poictou
,
received
by
the
Queen
with
a
true
and
ornate
gravity
.
Soon
acknowledged
to
be
greater
than
all
,
but
greater
without
the
diminution
of
any
.
Servient
and
Tellier
banished
by
Conde
returned
,
and
were
admitted
to
the
Ministry
,
wherein
they
had
been
before
.
Lyonne
in
highest
credit
amongst
the
Officers
of
the
Court
,
that
had
been
in
like
manner
excluded
with
those
two
,
by
ill
practices
for
some
time
continued
in
Banishment
unrepealed
.
After
when
he
was
revoked
,
the
Judgments
of
the
King
and
Mazarine
,
nay
of
the
Princes
of
Europe
,
contended
about
setting
a
due
Estimate
upon
him
.
Mole
held
the
Seal
subject
to
the
pleasure
of
the
Court
.
Vieville
with
all
possible
faithfulness
repaired
the
ruines
of
the
exhausted
Treasury
.
This
was
the
face
of
the
Ministry
.
Chasteauneuf
having
left
the
Helm
,
begged
his
Quietus
est
.
Having
given
up
an
account
of
his
Ministry
,
soon
after
ready
to
dye
.
In
what
Employment
he
might
have
been
prime
,
he
could
not
see
a
better
.
Venerable
old
man
!
whose
stern
comeliness
one
would
not
have
feared
,
but
reverenced
.
Whose
greatness
none
felt
,
but
either
to
the
relief
of
his
losses
,
or
the
enlargement
of
his
Fortunes
.
Of
an
unspotted
conscience
:
His
obliging
carriage
deserved
to
be
loved
,
perhaps
by
the
gentle
Sex
,
but
there
were
no
Tales
told
thereupon
:
Nor
yet
did
his
sweet
carriage
,
seasoned
with
gravity
,
hide
loosness
under
a
severe
brow
,
or
set
his
House
open
a
Tribunal
for
the
French
Eloquence
:
One
would
heartily
say
,
that
his
modest
dwelling
was
the
Seat
of
all
Vertues
,
and
the
Temple
of
Justice
.
THE
SEVENTH
BOOK
OF
THE
History
of
FRANCE
.
The
CONTENTS
.
Mazarine
meets
with
Conde
in
Arms
at
Anjou
and
Giems
about
the
Loyre
,
at
Estampes
,
and
at
last
under
the
Walls
of
the
City
,
where
the
Concord
of
the
Kingdom
being
broke
,
the
Armies
of
the
same
Country-men
offered
the
French
Blood
to
be
shed
by
Germans
,
and
the
unwilling
Lorrainer
.
At
length
Conde
,
inferior
to
the
Power
of
the
Royal
Army
,
draws
off
into
Flanders
:
Mazarine
counterfeits
a
Departure
into
Spain
,
to
divert
the
blame
of
the
Troubles
upon
Conde
alone
.
WHen
Mazarine
had
re-entred
France
,
success
did
not
fail
his
most
wise
Counsels
,
although
at
Poictou
the
most
politick
part
of
the
Court
did
condemn
this
Return
of
the
Cardinal
.
In
truth
that
which
we
call
Wisdom
is
an
ânsetled
and
wavering
business
,
consisting
in
the
Election
of
Things
,
which
are
of
a
different
Nature
:
If
those
be
uncertain
,
so
is
that
,
because
it
is
not
only
tyed
to
Things
,
but
more
to
their
Circumâtances
,
as
Times
,
Places
,
and
Men
;
therefore
is
there
no
certain
Rule
of
that
obscure
Vertue
.
Alâ
humane
Events
are
wrapped
up
in
profound
darkness
;
every
thing
is
brave
,
and
politickly
done
,
iâ
it
prove
successful
.
A
prosperous
undertaking
is
called
Vertue
;
therefore
should
we
sacrifice
to
good
success
;
to
this
Deity
did
Mazarine
owe
not
only
Altars
,
but
what
is
more
solemn
,
high
Places
.
Now
what
was
the
state
of
Affairs
before
Mazarine
,
after
his
Return
,
went
forth
upon
any
Expedition
,
I
shall
discourse
in
short
.
Conde
being
chased
out
of
Xantogne
,
found
all
things
go
cross
in
Guyenne
,
whilst
Harcourt
alarm'd
him
at
every
turn
,
and
the
Spaniard
fomented
the
Division
by
weak
succours
,
not
serving
the
Faction
,
but
himself
;
and
the
Gascons
were
weary
of
the
Service
;
(
none
do
more
eagerly
raise
Uproars
,
and
fly
to
their
Arms
;
none
are
more
forward
to
lay
them
down
,
and
detest
them
with
the
greatest
execrations
)
such
is
the
humor
of
the
Nation
,
not
to
like
the
same
estate
long
.
In
the
Province
of
Bourges
,
nothing
held
for
Conde
,
but
Montrond
that
was
beleaguered
,
and
therefore
no
longer
in
his
Power
.
Burgundy
was
so
obedient
to
Espernon
,
that
it
would
omit
no
sort
of
the
meanest
submission
to
gain
the
favour
of
the
new
Governor
,
who
equalled
himself
with
Conde
by
false
Predecessors
,
and
such
as
were
fetched
I
know
not
whence
:
The
Castle
of
Dijonâ
returning
to
his
Majesties
obedience
by
Surrender
Bellegarde
and
other
fortified
places
,
waited
with
fear
on
the
Kings
looks
.
Bouillon
and
his
Brother
Thurenne
had
how
resolvedly
forsaken
the
Party
of
Conde
,
and
were
in
a
most
strict
League
with
Mazarine
;
Longueville
carried
himself
so
neutral
and
indifferent
to
both
Parties
,
that
he
did
all
after
his
own
Interests
,
and
seemed
to
watch
his
advantage
,
and
to
shift
his
Forces
,
that
indeed
were
but
small
,
to
this
side
and
that
side
,
which
way
soever
was
apperance
of
the
greater
power
,
So
that
the
Policy
o
the
man
was
commendable
,
who
having
weighed
his
own
and
others
force
,
declared
himself
for
neither
.
The
Prince
had
an
Army
entire
,
consisting
of
the
remainder
of
the
Forces
at
Marle
,
and
Auxiliaries
from
the
Spaniards
joyned
together
,
which
the
Duke
of
Nemours
conducted
out
of
Flanders
(
in
all
not
exceeding
6000
Horse
and
Foot
)
Beaufort
by
the
order
of
Orleans
commanded
these
Forces
in
equal
power
with
Nemours
.
Discord
presently
arising
between
the
Commanders
,
though
allied
,
interrupted
their
Authority
.
And
whatever
spirit
or
fierceness
that
not
inconsiderable
party
had
when
they
came
in
,
was
emasculated
by
Subtlers
and
Strumpets
,
and
other
Incentives
of
Wantonness
at
Paris
.
Presently
Drapers
,
Confectioners
,
and
Millenars
poured
in
upon
the
Camp
imbrued
in
Luxury
.
The
nearness
of
the
City
invited
their
stout
hearts
that
could
no
other
ways
have
been
civilized
;
their
Quarter
was
upon
the
Circuit
of
Briere
between
Montargis
and
Giemie
.
Besides
this
miscellaneous
Army
of
French
,
Walâârs
,
Alemans
,
and
Lorrainers
,
Condes
sole
hope
was
in
the
City
,
in
Orleans
,
the
Parliament
,
and
Slingers
who
left
nothing
unassayed
in
favour
of
the
Prince
,
ăâă
of
malice
against
Mazarine
,
who
was
persecuted
with
infinite
new
Ordinances
,
his
Actions
traduced
,
all
his
Ecclesiastical
Revenues
confiscated
,
his
Houshold
stuff
exposed
to
sale
in
publick
by
outcry
,
and
House-keepers
ill-handled
,
his
Library
sold
by
retail
,
and
that
famous
Collection
of
Books
,
the
Ornament
of
Paris
,
was
cheaply
dispersed
.
But
what
will
not
be
believed
by
posterity
,
the
Cardinals
Head
had
a
price
set
on
it
;
that
Head
by
which
France
had
lately
raised
her
head
above
foreign
Nations
,
about
which
Fortune
had
been
so
compliant
,
on
whose
beck
Sea
and
Land
,
Peace
and
War
had
and
did
depend
,
and
that
too
by
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
the
Teacher
of
Equity
and
Justice
,
then
turned
Deviser
of
Injuries
,
formerly
voting
Laws
,
now
Scandals
.
Pope
Innocent
,
who
else
might
have
emptied
his
heavenly
Magazine
,
and
soon
disarmed
himself
,
by
shooting
Bolts
at
Rovers
,
for
the
avenging
Gods
quarrel
,
laughed
out
of
his
Vatican
,
See
,
and
sacrificed
the
Dignity
of
the
Purple
to
his
envy
against
Mazarine
.
Francis
Chanvallon
Archbishop
of
Rouen
,
out-does
the
Pope
in
Holiness
,
whilst
he
inveighs
against
their
Ordinances
in
a
famous
Harangue
amidst
a
full
Assembly
at
Tours
,
with
the
approbation
of
the
King
.
Besides
these
publick
oppositions
,
the
Cardinal
was
frequently
shot
at
by
secret
shafts
of
envy
in
the
very
Court
,
and
that
by
those
on
whom
he
had
accumulated
favours
,
and
whose
desultory
affections
the
darkness
of
the
Times
did
disguise
.
Who
by
their
sly
poysons
insinuated
Rebellion
into
the
unwary
,
after
the
Clouds
were
blown
over
turning
abject
Flatterers
.
Mazarine
plucking
up
the
power
of
his
soul
,
acted
couragiously
,
and
defended
the
sleep
of
all
with
his
vigilancy
,
the
repose
of
all
with
his
labour
,
the
leisure
of
all
with
his
activity
;
in
whose
breast
,
though
there
were
a
deep
wound
,
yet
there
appeared
no
scar
.
In
the
mean
while
he
rendred
all
obedient
with
the
awe
of
him
,
so
that
they
who
had
cruelly
hated
his
former
condition
,
made
profession
that
they
would
follow
this
,
though
with
the
hazard
of
their
whole
Estates
.
But
we
shortly
saw
Fortune
speedily
return
to
repentance
through
so
many
prosperous
successes
as
ensued
.
The
first
debate
was
,
whether
it
were
better
with
the
whole
power
of
the
Army
to
overwhelm
Conde
in
Guyenne
that
was
already
tottering
,
or
directly
to
march
for
Paris
,
the
principal
City
,
and
Head-quarters
,
there
to
win
Orleans
who
was
wavering
,
and
either
oblige
the
Slingers
to
return
to
their
duty
,
or
ruine
them
.
This
seemed
the
more
adviseable
,
although
Harcourt
at
that
time
,
standing
upon
terms
,
give
some
trouble
,
which
I
shall
afterwards
more
dearly
particularize
.
The
Army
of
Nemours
plundering
the
Country
,
put
all
into
a
fright
,
and
laid
the
Circuit
waste
from
Orleans
by
Gergovie
and
Giemie
.
It
is
resolved
suddenly
to
quench
that
fire
which
was
of
it self
inconsiderable
,
but
as
it
ministred
strength
to
the
Faction
.
On
the
March
,
that
the
County
of
Anjou
should
be
cleared
by
beating
up
Chabot
.
The
Service
is
committed
to
Hoquincourt
,
who
within
very
few
days
forced
Anjou
and
Chabot
its
Governor
to
a
necessity
of
Surrender
,
notwithstanding
Beaufort
had
been
sent
in
by
Orleans
to
his
assistance
,
and
reduced
Ceo
and
other
Towns
to
extremity
.
Chabot
is
of
the
highest
Nobility
in
Xantogne
,
whose
Grandfather
was
Admiral
and
Governor
of
Burgundy
,
his
Father
Lord
of
a
great
Estate
which
he
had
by
his
Wife
,
upon
which
he
lived
in
the
Country
,
and
had
no
affection
to
the
Attendances
on
the
Court
.
This
Gentleman
of
whom
we
speak
was
for
the
gayness
of
his
spirit
,
and
comeliness
of
his
person
,
taken
into
the
Graces
of
Margaret
Roban
,
and
married
her
by
the
mediation
of
Conde
the
Father
,
and
this
present
Prince
,
then
Duke
d'Enguieâ
;
therefore
Chabot
,
not
forgetful
of
his
obligation
,
expressed
his
thankfulness
to
the
Prince
to
the
utmost
of
his
power
.
The
Court
staid
some
days
at
Saumure
to
advance
the
Siege
of
Anjou
.
Then
did
Corinth
compass
that
Hat
so
often
promised
,
and
so
often
put
by
,
which
Pope
Innocent
granted
not
so
much
for
gratifying
the
King
,
as
eclipsing
Mazarine
by
setting
up
an
equal
to
him
in
Dignity
.
What
matter
of
division
doth
not
this
out-landish
Purple
set
on
fire
?
De
Rhetz
(
for
so
must
he
be
called
hereafter
,
no
longer
Corinth
)
Illustrious
in
Birth
and
Honourable
Descent
,
active
,
eloquent
,
most
eminent
in
favour
,
friendships
,
and
vigour
of
spirit
,
as
though
he
had
been
displeased
with
his
vertues
,
which
did
not
presently
meet
with
Preferment
,
by
divers
Plots
(
which
he
thought
the
shorter
cut
)
when
a
pleasant
path
did
not
lye
open
to
the
highest
place
,
chose
the
more
troublesom
way
;
in
the
most
of
his
Enterprises
he
acted
with
more
Wit
than
Luck
,
believing
nothing
so
much
his
own
,
as
what
he
held
by
his
friends
,
who
upon
all
occasions
proved
false
.
The
Court
removing
from
Saumure
,
by
Tours
,
Amboise
,
Bloise
,
at
length
after
so
many
motions
placed
its
Residence
at
Geimie
.
There
is
a
Bridge
over
the
Loyre
,
a
Poste
of
great
importance
to
either
Party
.
The
King
could
not
attend
the
Issues
of
Affairs
in
a
more
convenient
station
.
On
the
one
side
hovering
over
Paris
;
on
the
other
pressing
towards
the
Rebel-Forces
;
to
attend
whose
motion
he
had
set
a
strong
Army
under
the
Conduct
of
Thurenne
and
Hoquincourt
.
Orleans
(
who
would
believe
it
?
)
shut
her
Gates
against
the
King
.
That
was
in
favour
of
Orleans
,
and
especially
his
Daughter
,
who
Pucelle-like
,
having
the
courage
to
appear
amongst
men
of
Arms
,
had
posted
thither
to
give
Spirit
to
the
common
Souldier
.
Conde
abides
in
Guyenne
without
hopes
,
finding
every
where
a
slackness
of
obedience
,
whilst
Harcâurt
urgeth
his
successes
,
and
plys
the
favour
of
Fortune
;
what
marvel
,
when
he
was
warranted
by
his
Majesties
Authority
,
which
every
thing
in
France
doth
at
length
obey
.
The
Spaniard
did
more
and
more
slacken
the
hand
of
his
bounty
.
The
piomises
of
England
by
Cromwell
proved
more
ineffectual
,
but
what
was
to
be
hoped
for
from
that
Mountebank
,
and
shameful
Monster
in
Nature
?
Hereupon
the
Guyennois
fell
to
distaiste
the
Prince
,
whose
continual
presence
rendered
him
less
reverenced
.
No
longer
did
his
high
Renown
of
being
ăâă
Warriour
dazzle
the
eyes
of
the
people
.
No
Creature
is
more
way-ward
than
a
Guascon
.
None
to
be
handled
with
greater
Art
.
This
Conde
never
âad
.
That
Nation
is
apt
to
rise
against
none
sooner
than
such
as
it
finds
to
pretend
to
a
Government
over
them
without
bringing
them
money
.
Valiant
they
are
,
and
to
repair
the
decays
of
their
Fortunes
with
their
blood
,
wish
for
War
,
but
cannot
be
long
held
fast
,
unless
they
bite
somewhat
.
Conde
pondering
all
these
things
in
his
mind
,
the
discontents
between
Beaufort
and
Nemours
increasing
,
the
Army
longing
after
him
,
Orleans
wavering
,
the
addresses
of
the
Sling
,
expectation
of
Paris
,
although
always
fickle
;
but
what
was
principally
considerable
,
the
pressing
admonitions
of
Chavigny
,
That
he
would
come
up
speedily
,
and
nut
let
slip
the
fair
opportunities
that
Fortune
offered
him
;
(
although
hereby
Chavigny
more
aimed
at
monopolizing
the
Prince
to
himself
,
than
at
the
promoting
of
his
service
.
)
Such
reflexions
produced
in
the
mind
of
Conde
a
determination
to
leave
Guyenne
,
and
having
reached
his
beloved
Forces
to
draw
up
to
the
Imperial
City
.
Thus
hope
being
raised
out
of
despair
,
he
hastens
to
his
wishes
,
and
having
left
behind
him
the
subject
of
his
fears
,
neither
carrying
his
Wife
,
nor
only
Son
into
danger
,
enters
upon
his
Journey
with
,
but
very
few
,
that
he
had
made
acquainted
with
his
intention
,
through
Forests
and
Deserts
,
out
of
the
Road
,
scarce
came
under
any
roof
,
yet
more
than
once
known
by
his
face
,
though
his
hand
were
held
before
it
,
and
he
had
used
all
means
to
cut
off
the
marks
to
pursue
and
trace
him
.
A
Woman
in
the
train
of
the
sort
of
those
Ladies
that
are
wont
to
follow
the
Camp
,
had
almost
occasioned
the
discovery
of
the
Prince
,
as
he
was
taking
a
Bait
in
a
Country-Village
.
He
escaped
away
and
crossed
the
Coast
,
till
wearied
with
wandring
,
he
came
all
dusty
,
spent
with
travel
,
and
want
of
sleep
,
into
his
friends
Camp
,
where
he
was
received
With
sound
of
Drums
and
Trumpets
.
Scarce
was
lie
dismounted
,
when
being
informed
by
Scouts
how
the
Royal
Army
was
lodged
,
he
falls
in
at
midnight
upon
Hoquincourt
that
ever
was
secure
,
beats
up
his
Quarters
and
rifles
his
Waggons
and
Baggage
to
great
Consternation
,
little
loss
.
One
might
have
seen
the
Court
at
Giemie
melancholy
and
dejected
;
words
were
given
out
of
trussing
up
and
marching
away
,
that
the
Bridge
should
be
broken
down
after
the
King
had
escaped
over
at
Bourges
,
and
the
like
which
fear
prompts
upon
a
misfortune
received
.
The
day
after
,
both
Armies
stood
drawn
up
,
a
Matisse
parting
them
from
Engagement
.
The
Guns
being
discharged
on
both
sides
,
Condes
Party
drew
off
.
Thurenne
,
who
always
tempered
the
forwardness
of
the
Souldier
with
Authority
,
Providence
,
and
Valour
,
acquainted
with
being
in
a
prosperous
or
dubious
condition
,
and
thereupon
undaunted
,
carried
away
the
credit
of
that
day
,
and
confirmed
the
drooping
Army
.
There
appeared
his
labour
in
business
,
courage
in
danger
,
industry
in
action
,
quickness
in
dispatch
.
It
may
not
be
omitted
that
the
King
being
but
fifteen
years
old
,
stole
from
those
about
him
,
and
animated
the
Army
with
his
Courage
and
Gesture
,
which
proved
advantagious
.
Condes
Forces
encamped
at
Estampes
,
the
Prince
goes
for
Paris
to
fix
Orleans
;
that
was
Chavigny's
Counsel
.
With
what
joy
of
the
Common-people
,
and
with
what
Congratulations
of
the
Parliament
he
was
received
,
can
scarce
be
parallell'd
in
words
.
At
this
time
Longueville
fearing
the
continuance
of
his
state
,
resolves
voluntarily
to
lay
down
his
Government
in
Normandy
,
thinking
himself
unable
to
sustain
the
storm
ready
to
fall
by
the
approaching
Arms
of
the
King
who
would
be
the
Conquerour
it
was
manifest
,
the
edge
of
Conde's
authority
growing
every
where
more
blunt
.
In
lieu
of
Normandy
,
Longueville
had
given
him
on
the
Borders
of
Champagne
,
the
Government
of
Maceria
,
Olypomont
,
Chastel-Renant
and
Linchamp
,
but
what
was
the
principal
Charleville
was
bought
him
of
the
Duke
of
Mantua
(
it
is
a
Soveraign
Lordship
amongst
the
Arcuese
of
pleasant
scituation
upon
the
bank
of
the
Maze
,
looking
towards
Flanders
and
Yverdon
,
)
this
pleased
Longneville
now
in
his
de
clining
years
;
That
he
should
exercise
Soveraign
Authority
,
should
lead
in
mirth
the
days
of
his
Old-age
at
his
own
pleasure
,
and
without
molestation
compose
his
last
thoughts
,
nor
be
troubled
with
the
Norman
humours
.
The
Articles
were
signed
by
Mazarine
in
his
Majesties
Name
,
and
by
me
in
the
Dukes
at
Giemie
,
which
how
they
came
afterwards
to
be
invalidated
,
I
shall
speak
in
the
proper
place
.
At
Paris
were
boystrous
Spirits
,
but
that
durst
venture
no
farther
than
words
.
It
was
long
debated
in
Parliament
how
the
mony
should
be
raised
for
a
reward
to
him
that
killed
Mazarine
,
and
there
was
none
found
to
undertake
the
Assassinate
;
The
Cardinal
was
not
moved
with
any
terror
;
only
he
wondered
when
the
French
were
,
embroyled
in
Civil
Warr
that
all-their
Allies
should
continue
firm
,
and
no
one
start
.
Orleans
Conde
and
the
Parliament
still
heaved
at
the
Government
.
Whom
to
restrain
,
nothing
seemed
more
adviseable
then
for
the
Court
leaving
Giemie
to
settle
at
St.
Germains
hard
by
the
City
.
This
was
speedily
done
.
And
immediately
Commissioners
from
the
Parliament
and
from
the
Princes
attend
upon
the
King
and
tender
him
all
ready
duty
.
Here
were
appearances
of
intire
Loyalty
which
repentance
had
redressed
,
and
Rebellion
disarmed
:
but
with
unanimous
Consent
they
petition
,
that
Mazarine
the
occasion
of
all
the
troubles
might
be
removed
.
The
King
leaving
St.
Germains
,
made
some
stay
at
Courbeil
,
and
from
thence
goes
and
falls
upon
the
Princes
forces
at
their
Rendezvous
at
Estampes
,
They
having
Barricado'd
up
the
place
,
make
a
stout
defence
,
and
elude
the
assaults
of
Thurenne
;
who
upon
the
approach
of
the
Lorrainer
is
forced
to
draw
off
and
convey
the
King
in
safety
to
Courbeil
.
If
ever
the
strength
of
authority
seemed
to
have
lost
its
edge
,
it
was
in
truth
at
Estampes
,
where
the
King
in
Person
having
made
an
offer
of
entry
without
success
,
was
more
than
once
in
danger
by
the
discharge
of
the
Gunsâ
It
had
been
much
better
not
to
have
put
that
to
the
hazard
.
After
having
quartered
at
Courbeil
and
Melun
to
watch
the
narrower
over
Paris
,
the
Court
chose
St.
Denys
.
And
that
there
would
be
put
a
period
to
the
Civil
Warr
,
was
not
unreasonably
believed
,
the
City
growing
more
complyant
,
although
the
Issue
proved
otherwise
.
Conde's
Army
held
St.
Clous
and
the
neighbouring
Country
,
led
by
Tavan
.
The
Royal
Camp
without
the
Seyne
lying
opposite
,
watch
an
opportunity
of
engaging
.
Therefore
they
go
to
lay
a
Bridge
over
the
River
at
Espinay
,
but
are
hindered
by
the
Condeaâs
.
Thurenne
with
Seâneterre
his
continual
Fellow-Commander
begin
to
make
another
Bridge
not
farr
from
Poissy
to
divide
the
Enemy
.
Conde
certified
of
the
approaching
assault
,
draws
off
his
Forces
by
night
to
lodge
them
more
safely
at
Charenton
.
A
more
convenient
âȘ
Quarter
could
not
have
been
chosen
,
being
flanked
with
the
Seyne
and
Marne
,
and
having
the
plain
of
Brice
open
to
furnish
it
with
Provision
.
While
the
Parisians
deny
entrance
into
the
City
,
the
Troops
destined
to
the
slaughter
round
the
Walls
,
which
making
but
slow
progress
,
by
reason
of
the
vast
circumference
of
the
wall
,
Thurenne
presseth
upon
them
as
they
are
spread
in
the
Suburb
of
St.
Anthony
,
and
about
Piquepousse
.
Presently
the
whole
Court
flocks
thither
.
The
King
attended
by
Mazarine
could
hardly
be
restrained
from
entring
into
the
Encounter
.
The
end
,
saith
he
,
to
the
Civil
Warrs
which
ye
desired
is
come
.
And
who
could
have
doubted
of
it
?
The
City
had
turned
about
to
the
Court
,
being
weary
of
longer
bearing
the
insolâncies
of
the
Germans
and
Lorrainers
.
The
Shops
of
Paris
being
destitute
of
that
gainful
trade
which
the
King
only
suplies
.
The
face
of
the
Camps
was
very
different
;
On
the
Kings
side
was
Number
,
Valour
,
the
Cause
,
and
above
all
,
Majesty
present
.
On
the
Enemies
,
Terrour
,
a
faint
Obedience
between
an
infence
City
,
and
a
King
eager
in
the
pursuit
of
his
denyed
Rights
.
In
truth
Conde
early
in
the
morning
coming
forth
of
St.
Anthony's
Gate
,
and
having
strictly
viewed
how
the
state
of
affairs
was
,
and
in
what
a
pinch
he
was
taken
;
by
fortune
turning
to
Beaufort
,
Nemours
,
Rochefoucault
,
and
the
rest
standing
by
said
,
I
do
not
palliate
the
danger
with
words
.
This
day
we
must
perish
.
Let
us
therefore
Perish
not
ăâă
,
since
after
despair
of
Victory
,
we
are
to
ăâă
fighting
.
I
design
my self
to
that
Part
,
whither
I
shall
be
called
by
danger
;
whither
I
will
lead
,
not
send
.
The
Officers
agreed
,
and
all
being
prepared
for
be
extreamest
hazard
,
they
fought
from
five
in
the
morning
till
five
in
the
evening
,
with
such
obstinate
hearts
on
both
sides
,
that
I
question
whether
ever
among
the
French
there
were
an
Example
of
a
more
stubborn
Conflict
.
Under
the
Walls
of
the
City
the
Citizens
looking
on
,
and
waiting
for
the
Issue
.
The
Daughter
of
Orleans
was
no
weak
stay
of
the
Battel
,
whilst
with
a
manly
forehead
she
inflames
the
Parisians
for
Conde
,
whilst
she
diverts
the
Common
Council
of
the
City
from
their
promises
made
to
the
King
,
and
holds
the
Gates
open
for
Auxiliaries
to
go
out
to
the
Prince
,
or
come
in
again
,
whilst
she
discharges
the
Canon
in
the
Bastille
against
the
Royalists
,
in
token
that
the
City
stood
affected
to
Conde
:
lastly
whilst
she
heartens
her
Father
,
and
carries
him
along
the
streets
appearing
to
all
.
The
Bulwarks
in
the
Suburb
were
the
matter
in
dispute
.
Those
were
cast
up
by
the
Townsmen
against
the
infesting
Lorrainers
,
now
are
defended
and
maintained
with
such
stoutness
and
exceeding
love
of
praise
.
There
were
slain
on
both
sides
men
of
quality
,
besides
an
innumerable
quantity
of
common
Souldiers
.
One
might
have
seen
from
Piquepousse
to
S.
Denis
dismal
slaughters
;
Sanmagrine
and
Mantini
the
Nephew
of
Mazarine
,
on
whom
the
hope
of
his
Uncle
was
worthily
set
,
breathing
out
their
last
,
were
carried
back
to
Court
State-sacrifices
.
Of
the
Party
Nemours
and
Rochefoucault
came
back
wounded
and
half
dead
.
The
Port
of
S.
Anthony
being
clear
,
Conde
with
his
mangled
Retinue
comes
into
the
City
,
having
ventured
at
that
which
could
not
have
been
effected
but
by
a
most
valiant
man
.
Great
every
where
,
but
greater
than
the
rest
where
the
danger
was
great
;
in
this
S.
Anthonies
fight
greater
than
himself
.
One
could
not
know
whether
to
admire
him
more
either
when
he
exceeded
all
measure
in
running
upon
dangers
,
or
when
he
kept
within
the
bounds
of
admitting
due
praises
.
Here
he
rejected
Applauses
,
and
would
not
avow
his
own
labours
,
bur
infinitely
valued
other
mens
,
so
different
was
he
after
Victory
,
from
what
he
was
in
fight
.
What
was
more
cruel
in
the
afflicted
City
,
than
to
see
German
,
Wallon
,
and
Lorrain
Troops
march
up
and
down
with
drawn
Swords
,
as
though
the
King
had
been
conquered
,
carrying
along
with
them
flocks
of
Harlots
and
Scythian
Waggons
,
yet
had
that
odious
crew
Billets
assigned
them
in
the
places
adjacent
to
the
Suburb
of
S.
Germans
and
the
Seyne
,
designed
for
the
Entertainments
of
Paris
.
These
Plantations
the
barbarous
Souldier
held
after
that
he
had
plundered
Villejuvive
,
Vitry
,
and
other
Towns
.
There
were
not
wanting
some
Illustrious
Families
too
,
which
freely
sent
in
Provisions
to
them
when
they
swaggered
,
thereby
to
redeem
their
being
pillaged
.
But
that
nothing
might
be
wanting
to
the
highest
Frenzy
,
the
Faction
appeared
wearing
its
Colours
;
then
which
Faction
there
,
being
nothing
in
Nature
more
slight
,
the
vilest
of
things
,
Straw
,
was
chosen
for
a
Standard
of
Sedition
.
Yellow
straws
were
plaited
into
the
Nosegays
of
the
gallanter
sort
.
Carts
,
Coaches
,
and
Saddle-Horses
came
not
forth
without
a
Lock
of
straw
stuck
on
them
;
nay
,
the
very
Mouks
had
straw
on
their
Cowls
.
They
that
were
Chaff-less
,
or
Straw-less
were
beaten
;
in
an
unusual
Subject
I
musr
use
an
unusual
Term.
Such
a
Straw-Triumph
was
odious
to
the
good
,
and
imported
no
good
Wheat
,
nor
the
Seed-plot
of
any
good
fruit
.
The
City
breathed
after
nothing
but
Loyalty
and
due
Obedience
to
his
Majesty
.
Orleans
with
his
Complices
wavered
.
The
Court
increased
by
new
accessions
.
The
Normans
with
Longueville
detest
War
.
The
Spaniards
by
Fuensaldagne
enter
indeed
France
,
with
a
pompous
Camp
.
The
Duke
of
Lorraine
concludes
under-hand
with
Mazarine
.
In
Guyenne
Condes
Party
weakens
.
In
a
word
,
all
things
go
cross
.
No
hope
is
left
but
in
the
Union
of
Paris
,
with
the
Parliament
,
and
Princes
,
which
striking
terror
with
its
empty
sound
,
may
bring
the
King
to
a
Treaty
of
Peace
,
wished
for
and
pursued
with
earnest
vows
on
all
hands
.
It
was
July
4.
1652.
when
there
met
in
the
Town-hall
the
chief
men
,
Hospital
Governor
of
Paris
,
and
the
Provost
of
the
Merchants
presiding
after
the
usual
manner
.
There
came
in
Orleans
and
Conde
,
with
innumerable
Followers
at
four
in
the
afternoon
.
They
were
received
honourably
by
Hospital
,
who
seeing
that
famous
Tuft
of
Straw
in
Orleans's
Hat
,
could
not
refrain
from
saying
;
Why
do
you
come
into
his
Majesties
Room
,
wearing
a
Badge
of
Sedition
?
Orleans
without
any
resentment
answered
,
All
will
be
well
.
The
Court
was
scarcely
met
,
when
there
comes
in
a
Trumpet
from
his
Majesty
with
a
Letter
,
wherein
he
testifies
that
it
would
be
pleasing
to
him
,
if
the
Court
were
adjourned
till
four
days
after
.
So
small
a
space
could
not
be
denied
the
King
;
the
Court
is
dissolved
,
the
Princes
return
,
whom
as
Hospital
waited
on
a
suborned
Rascal
offered
him
a
Tuft
of
Straw
,
in
scorn
,
or
to
watch
an
opportunity
of
Sedition
,
which
was
wished
for
.
Hospital
suitably
to
the
quality
of
his
place
,
and
after
his
wonted
manner
answers
;
Sirrah
,
I
have
a
good
mind
to
ââing
you
out
at
window
,
which
I
should
command
to
be
done
,
did
not
the
Dignity
of
this
honourable
Person
(
he
pointed
at
Orleans
)
bridle
my
just
indignation
.
The
Princes
had
scarce
got
into
their
Coach
,
when
there
fell
shot
with
a
Musket
,
either
by
chance
,
or
upon
design
,
some
unknown
Fellow
,
mixed
with
the
vulgar
Rout
,
which
with
Weapons
and
menacing
words
thronged
about
the
Town-house
.
Some
affirm
among
those
that
abuse
their
leisure
,
that
it
was
done
with
a
mischievous
intent
.
Nor
are
there
none
that
witness
it
to
have
been
by
the
Order
of
the
Princes
,
that
the
desired
Union
might
be
either
perswaded
,
or
forced
.
However
the
truth
be
,
a
great
destruction
sprung
from
thence
.
The
crowd
of
men
in
Arms
lying
under
the
Windows
,
crys
out
;
That
Mazarines
were
locked
up
there
,
and
did
hold
very
bad
Councils
;
that
the
destruction
by
their
means
hangs
over
the
City
.
A
Citizen
they
had
already
killed
.
Some
great
misfortune
is
to
be
expected
;
that
Fagots
would
be
fetched
to
lay
the
House
flat
with
avenging
flames
.
Of
a
sudden
the
common
Rout
fall
on
fiercely
with
Rage
,
Arms
,
Fire
,
and
Fagot
.
The
forwardest
are
slaughter'd
,
others
stifled
with
smoke
,
the
House
is
stormed
:
that
seemed
the
fatal
day
of
Paris
.
Those
that
were
potent
in
Faction
strengthend
the
Confusion
.
Companies
of
Souldiers
are
drawn
up
to
the
City-Walls
.
The
Town-house-wall
is
boiled
with
flames
,
so
that
the
smoke
rolls
in
a
gloomy
Cloud
;
and
had
the
wind
then
spread
the
burning
,
the
Greave
would
have
been
involved
,
being
already
scorched
all
over
with
the
dismal
fire
,
which
as
the
Will
of
God
was
,
mounted
hot
aloft
,
but
had
its
power
confined
to
the
lower
Region
.
It
seems
after
so
many
hazards
of
the
poor
City
,
this
Game
had
been
left
unplaid
.
They
,
were
not
contented
to
have
eat
up
the
Citizens
;
They
must
burn
them
too
.
Whilst
the
Conflagration
and
Riot
lasted
,
Conde
assayed
to
in
,
Orleans
held
him
,
fearing
lest
the
Prince
might
come
to
any
mischance
by
the
popular
Commotion
.
Orleans
his
Daughter
came
in
like
a
stout
Virago
,
when
the
Tumult
was
appeased
,
and
the
fire
abated
,
every
one
went
home
to
his
house
.
The
flame
indeed
,
was
quenched
,
but
the
memory
not
buried
,
which
will
live
for
ever
in
their
minds
.
And
both
Princes
burnt
not
the
Houses
of
the
City
,
but
his
own
hopes
.
Hospital
having
escaped
the
danger
in
a
disguise
,
left
his
House
and
the
City
,
and
retired
.
Beaufort
is
made
Governor
of
Paris
,
and
Broussel
Provost
of
the
Merchants
against
the
approbation
of
the
Court
;
but
what
should
they
do
?
Prudence
lay
opprest
,
a
secret
overpowering
Providence
driving
its
Wheel
over
,
and
deriding
the
Politicks
of
France
.
Certain
discreet
Members
of
the
Parliament
are
dispatched
to
the
King
at
S.
Denis
.
The
principal
Commissioner
was
Nesmond
,
who
made
a
gravâ
Harangue
;
the
drift
of
his
Speech
was
this
;
That
Mazarine
might
be
unrepealably
banished
;
upon
hiâ
removal
that
blessed
Peace
would
dispel
the
Clouds
in
the
Hemisphere
,
of
France
;
that
this
was
the
only
means
for
the
afflicted
State
to
recover
settlement
.
The
King
answered
,
That
the
Cardinal
should
âe
gone
,
so
the
Princes
would
but
lay
down
their
Arms
,
and
immediately
dismiss
their
foreign
Souldiers
who
were
hostile
and
odious
.
That
the
Prince
was
far
otherwise
minded
,
the
event
declared
.
Whenas
Fortune
had
failed
the
most
wise
Councils
at
the
Suburb
of
S.
Anthony
,
and
nothing
was
to
be
expected
of
the
City
,
in
such
a
tempestââls
time
;
the
Kings
Army
in
that
Neighbourhood
being
in
want
of
Provisions
,
the
Court
it self
straightned
,
and
diseases
spreading
by
reason
of
the
soultry
Dog-days
,
Pontoise
is
cholsen
for
a
fit
place
of
Residence
.
Thither
the
King
on
the
sudden
conveys
himself
;
(
it
is
but
three
hours
Journey
)
having
left
the
Parliament-Commissioners
at
S.
Denis
,
whom
,
upon
the
Post
,
Orleans
,
Conde
,
and
Beaufort
conveyed
into
Paris
.
But
when
very
many
of
the
poor
Parliament-men
,
fearing
their
Estates
,
having
left
the
City
,
wandred
about
unsetled
,
by
the
advice
of
Fouquet
Procureur
General
,
the
Members
of
the
scattered
Court
are
gathered
at
Pontoise
.
The
late
Ordinances
disannulled
,
and
,
new
ones
erected
.
The
shadow
and
appearance
of
a
Parliament
remaining
at
Paris
,
frets
at
this
,
and
declare
Orleans
Viceroy
,
and
Conde
General
:
which
was
not
only
at
Court
disallowed
of
,
but
at
Tholouse
,
the
Metropolis
of
Orleans's
Government
.
The
rigid
Provenzals
,
always
of
a
stiff
uprightness
,
know
not
how
to
bow
but
to
that
which
is
equitable
.
No
People
is
more
obstinate
in
their
Loyalty
.
The
new
Viceroy
setles
him
a
new
Council
,
the
principal
Members
of
which
were
Conde
,
Seguier
Chancellor
of
France
,
Chavigny
,
the
Dukes
Rochefoucault
,
Rohan
,
Brissac
,
Sully
,
and
others
;
Beaufort
and
Nemours
contending
the
one
with
the
other
,
preferred
a
Duel
before
the
Council
,
in
which
they
decided
the
Quarrel
at
the
Port
Richlieu
.
The
Bellows
was
of
a
Womans
lust
.
Nemours
shot
mortally
by
his
Brother-in-Law
Beaufort
,
fell
rather
after
the
Fate
of
his
Family
than
his
own
;
a
man
stout
to
a
degree
beyond
Valour
;
of
a
life
suitable
to
his
death
;
born
to
oblige
the
World
.
Nothing
was
more
empty
than
that
shadow
of
Orleans's
Council
,
which
soon
vanished
away
.
Their
first
business
was
to
raise
money
upon
the
City
.
Condes
Forces
were
in
extreme
necessity
,
who
(
though
they
might
have
been
rich
with
their
pillaging
and
plunder
)
yet
what
they
got
ill
,
spent
worse
.
Therefore
a
remedy
of
their
want
is
found
out
far
more
destructive
than
their
very
want
.
A
Tax
was
laid
upon
every
Porte
Cochere
,
or
great
Gate
for
a
Coach
to
go
in
at
,
at
which
the
City
was
greatly
incensed
,
resolving
to
fall
foul
upon
the
Advisers
,
and
throw
off
the
Imposition
.
The
Princes
with
a
great
part
of
their
Parliament
foresee
the
storm
hanging
over
them
from
the
Court
and
City
;
which
Conde
resolves
to
leave
,
thinking
seriously
about
withdrawing
himself
and
his
Forces
;
when
he
saw
that
the
King
could
not
be
prevailed
with
to
grant
the
Suits
made
in
his
Name
at
S.
Germans
by
Rohan
and
Chavigny
in
favour
of
his
Brother
Conti
,
Nemours
,
Marsin
,
Violet
,
and
their
Followers
,
who
were
not
a
few
,
secretly
craving
.
The
Parliament
at
Pontoise
,
wholly
devoted
to
Mazarine
,
adviseth
with
an
unbiassed
Council
;
to
depart
and
throw
the
whole
blame
upon
Conde
;
that
the
Prince
would
hold
on
the
same
course
of
distractions
that
he
had
begun
,
and
draw
the
Odium
of
the
Kingdom
upon
himself
;
and
that
at
length
with
their
universal
consent
,
when
the
Faction
was
tired
out
,
the
Cardinal
should
return
to
his
former
Lustre
,
sole
Manager
of
the
State
,
with
the
Applause
of
France
.
At
a
most
solemn
Meeting
his
Majesty
is
requested
by
Commissioners
from
the
new
Parliament
in
a
premeditated
Oration
,
that
the
Cardinal
in
favour
of
Peace
to
heal
the
Nation
,
might
depart
the
Land
,
and
that
he
would
gratifie
all
his
good
Subjects
in
granting
this
Suit
of
theirs
;
Mazarine
answers
,
He
was
ready
to
obey
,
and
would
willingly
leave
the
Ministry
,
if
their
rage
might
but
cease
,
who
feed
upon
the
Countries
spoils
;
that
he
had
been
Delinquent
,
neither
in
corrupting
others
,
nor
being
corrupt
:
had
not
deviated
from
the
path
of
Honour
and
Conscience
in
the
least
;
had
not
poysoned
the
ears
of
the
best
of
Kings
against
his
Subjects
;
had
not
brought
scadals
into
the
Court
,
but
by
a
constant
tenour
of
his
own
Example
insinuated
clemency
:
and
that
the
Government
should
be
tempered
according
to
the
Genius
of
the
Nation
;
that
Terrour
is
the
wrong
way
of
acquiring
Reverence
among
the
French
,
the
most
firm
Dominion
over
them
,
is
such
as
wherein
the
Subjects
find
content
.
They
need
fear
nothing
,
if
they
have
union
of
hearts
among
themselves
;
this
he
would
procure
them
by
his
absence
,
and
quench
the
fire
by
withdrawing
.
Lastly
it
is
not
reasonable
that
a
Kingdom
,
strong
in
Forces
,
rich
in
Commodities
,
renowned
in
Glory
,
should
for
his
sake
perish
.
Amidst
these
storms
,
the
Duke
of
Bouillon
dies
at
Pontoise
,
destined
to
have
been
the
second
Neck
to
support
the
Management
of
the
State
,
having
already
agreed
to
an
Affinity
with
Mazarine
.
He
used
all
possible
means
by
not
bearing
,
and
by
provoking
Troubles
,
to
have
plunged
himself
in
unrecoverable
ruine
.
Vast
confidence
heightned
his
valour
.
His
Spanish
Wife
Leonora
Berk
drew
him
over
to
the
Spanish
Party
.
A
haughty
Dame
,
the
Eriânys
of
Sedan
,
wearing
a
vain
mask
of
Devotion
,
had
ruined
the
Fates
of
that
Illustrous
Family
,
if
any
mine
can
befal
the
Nephews
of
Thurenne
invested
with
so
great
Splendour
of
their
Uncle
.
After
that
Mazarine
had
earnestly
insinuated
what
he
judged
beneficial
to
the
Publick
,
he
departed
out
of
the
French
Territory
,
and
took
up
his
Residence
at
Bouillon
,
in
the
Forest
of
Ardenne
;
having
eluded
on
the
way
,
by
the
discovery
of
a
Spaniard
,
an
Ambush
laid
for
him
by
the
Faction
,
and
left
behind
him
Tomaso
Prince
of
Savoy
,
to
represent
the
Prime
Minister
;
who
was
to
have
for
his
Assistants
ââel
Servient
,
Michael
Tellier
,
and
Zongo
Ondedei
,
in
whom
he
reposed
most
trust
.
He
chose
such
Persons
that
might
neither
bring
him
into
danger
,
nor
disgrace
.
It
is
a
principal
Point
of
a
great
Ministers
discretion
,
not
to
assume
a
help
that
is
unmanageable
by
being
over-powerful
.
THE
EIGHTH
BOOK
OF
THE
History
of
FRANCE
.
The
CONTENTS
.
France
opening
its
eyes
begins
to
acknowledge
its
Errours
,
and
the
deceitful
Snares
of
the
Princes
.
The
Faction
declines
.
His
Majesty
returns
to
the
City
.
The
Parliament
recovers
its
Authority
,
that
of
Pontoise
being
determined
.
Orleans
withdraws
without
waiting
on
the
King
.
The
wearied
Sedition
hath
no
where
to
set
its
foot
,
being
without
a
Leader
.
Yet
the
Tide
is
still
upon
turning
,
till
the
Return
of
Mazarine
,
wherein
every
thing
is
in
good
earnest
setled
.
THE
French
Necks
used
to
the
Harness
,
cannot
long
start
from
their
accustomed
and
ancient
Yoke
,
therefore
what
so
many
calm
Advices
could
not
perswade
,
nor
could
menacing
terrour
extort
,
only
Loyalty
without
any
external
impulse
did
obtain
,
being
knit
by
repentance
much
stronger
,
then
if
it
had
been
skinned
over
by
untimely
remedies
.
But
what
could
the
Commonalty
attempt
when
the
Princes
were
away
?
Even
the
same
,
as
the
Sea
,
calm
of
it self
,
when
the
Winds
are
still
.
In
nothing
did
the
policy
of
Mazarine
appear
greater
than
in
the
not
aggravating
of
faults
,
and
not
breaking
of
the
Lute-string
that
jarr'd
,
but
bringing
it
by
degrees
into
Tune
.
Paris
by
instinct
and
in
a
heat
calls
for
its
King
.
There
are
meetings
of
the
Citizens
in
the
Louvre
to
find
out
means
for
suppressing
the
Faction
,
nay
,
they
fall
upon
the
marks
of
it
.
For
those
that
wore
Straw
,
were
all
about
the
Streets
pelted
or
abused
.
On
the
contrary
,
such
as
had
returned
to
their
Allegiance
stick
scrowles
of
paper
in
their
Hatts
,
in
token
of
their
Loyalty
to
the
King
.
The
Court
having
broke
up
its
unsatisfactory
residence
at
Pontoise
,
retired
to
Compiegne
,
whether
slocked
an
innumerable
concourse
of
Nobles
,
Citizens
,
Commoners
.
Peter
Seguier
the
Chancellor
secretly
slipt
out
of
the
City
in
disguise
.
I
know
not
by
what
ill
luck
he
was
President
of
the
Princes
Counsell
against
his
will
;
yet
would
have
suggested
wholsom
advice
:
He
was
received
gratiously
by
his
Majesty
at
Compiegne
,
and
afterwards
had
the
Seales
restored
,
which
none
kept
with
more
integrity
,
used
more
discreetly
,
or
held
a
longer
time
.
An
humble
address
is
voted
in
the
Town-house
whereby
the
King
should
be
petitioned
to
return
.
The
Parliament
of
Paris
although
it
seemed
to
slight
that
vain
appearance
of
the
Court
held
at
Pontoise
;
yet
took
it
for
a
diminution
;
and
declined
by
having
their
Authority
divided
.
Now
the
secret
was
divulged
that
the
Parliament
is
not
confined
to
the
walls
of
Paris
only
:
and
that
there
is
no
surer
Law
,
than
that
the
King
may
do
whatsover
soever
he
pleases
to
do
.
Therefore
is
Justice
drawn
an
Assessor
to
Majesty
,
undoubtedly
,
because
whatsoever
is
ordered
by
,
the
King
must
be
judged
legal
.
But
the
very
Parliament
men
were
inclinable
to
the
Kings
return
,
and
had
already
given
thanks
for
the
removing
Mazarine
,
who
was
called
the
Rock
of
Ofence
,
the
Cause
,
or
at
least
Occasion
of
the
Troubles
.
Although
Conde
strong
with
the
Lorraine
and
Wittemberg
Forces
held
Thurenne
at
Villeneuve
of
St.
George
in
a
manner
blocked
up
,
the
Kings
Army
being
there
reduced
to
extremities
:
yet
such
is
his
foresight
,
that
he
plainly
perceived
,
that
he
could
not
longer
sustain
the
sway
of
all
France
,
recoyling
to
its
obedience
,
nor
be
able
to
stand
the
assault
which
such
a
power
menaced
.
Least
he
should
be
overwhelmed
on
the
sudden
with
that
vast
weight
,
and
all
way
of
escape
cut
off
,
he
retreats
with
his
men
into
Flanders
by
Champaigne
:
so
much
the
more
willingly
because
Thurenne
had
got
away
in
the
night
,
having
left
fires
burning
in
his
Camp
,
to
conceal
his
departure
.
Indeed
the
Cardinal
the
matter
of
War
being
gone
,
Conde
could
hope
for
nothing
more
from
the
People
,
less
from
the
Sling
,
the
head
of
which
,
Beaufort
,
was
quite
out
of
credit
with
the
Faction
.
Orleans
being
weary
of
his
Labour
and
Arms
breathed
after
nothing
else
but
rest
.
Upon
these
effectual
arguments
,
Conde
on
good
grounds
withdrew
from
imminent
dangers
,
besides
that
being
so
linked
to
the
Spaniard
in
Bonds
of
Association
,
that
he
could
upon
no
terms
stir
from
his
Articles
with
them
.
Another
bait
there
was
in
the
way
;
the
Plate-Fleet
that
was
then
expected
from
the
Mines
of
Perââ
,
The
Spaniards
do
with
this
Lure
inveigle
such
as
are
ready
to
revolt
,
with
a
vain
shew
of
riches
,
which
hath
to
often
deceived
,
and
will
deceive
the
simple
world
.
If
there
be
cast
up
the
charges
,
fortune
of
the
Sea
,
and
the
like
,
a
little
Gold
is
purchased
at
a
great
deal
of
Gold
.
At
this
time
died
Leo
Bouthillier
Chavigny
,
in
a
flourishing
age
,
but
not
estate
.
Having
left
the
Kings
high
way
,
he
went
into
a
misleading
path
.
Prosperity
he
received
thankfully
,
adversity
not
so
patiently
.
He
might
have
rested
upon
internal
goods
of
his
Soul
,
and
been
prepared
against
the
accessories
of
Fortune
.
A
little
before
his
last
,
he
devoted
himself
openly
to
Religion
.
It
is
grown
a
practise
of
late
years
among
the
French
,
that
they
who
miscarry
in
their
designs
turn
Religious
.
Vetaries
they
are
commonly
called
for
palliating
their
âices
,
vitious
in
sacrificing
to
God
the
dreggs
of
their
life
.
Thus
died
Chavigny
,
mortifying
himself
not
only
with
Religion
but
also
with
a
more
strict
diet
.
By
the
same
Arts
hastning
his
death
,
as
Life
is
wont
to
be
prolonged
.
If
there
be
any
levity
in
the
spirit
,
it
is
puffed
up
with
felicity
,
which
upon
the
turn
of
favour
is
abyss'd
.
A
fault
of
the
Nation
condemned
and
still
maintained
.
From
such
easiness
of
fortune
,
what
do
not
we
daily
suffer
,
and
that
undeservedly
.
During
these
troubles
,
France
loseth
the
Sea-Coast
of
Flanders
,
Gravelin
,
and
Dunkirk
,
and
other
neighbouring
Towns
,
which
are
born
away
by
the
same
torrent
of
Fortune
,
having
been
honourably
purchased
by
Blood
and
Gold
.
But
Barcellona
,
the
chief
Town
of
Catalaunia
,
renders
it self
to
Don
Juan
,
so
often
happy
,
and
that
had
done
so
many
high
services
.
In
Italy
Mantua
staggerred
,
and
having
in
vain
demanded
relief
for
casall
,
of
our
King
,
applied
to
the
Spaniards
.
By
such
dismal
overthrows
,
France
might
have
felt
greater
losses
,
but
Beliere
being
sent
thiher
,
did
a
little
stay
the
fall
of
Catalaunia
.
Guise
a
few
years
before
elected
Captain
of
the
Common-wealhth
of
Neples
,
and
amidst
those
cruel
disorders
taken
and
carried
into
Spain
,
is
now
set
at
liberry
,
and
that
principally
at
the
mediation
of
Conde
.
It
was
the
Castillian
subtilty
to
return
Guise
into
France
,
and
to
gratify
Conde
in
it
.
That
bearing
in
memory
his
Ancestor
,
he
might
make
new
plotts
:
and
raise
disturbance
.
But
he
forgetting
the
favor
of
his
enlargement
and
his
obligation
to
Conde
,
diverted
himself
on
Balls
and
Tournaments
.
His
attempt
of
a
second
progress
into
Naples
,
was
a
bravado
to
renew
in
his
light
mind
,
by
way
of
vain
derision
,
those
hopes
taken
down
to
the
very
ground
.
None
in
the
world
ever
fained
such
idle
dreams
,
that
was
descended
of
Ancestors
,
who
aimed
at
so
lofty
and
so
solid
matters
.
Monce
reduced
by
a
lingring
siege
to
an
extream
scarcity
of
all
things
,
is
surrendred
to
Pauvausse
by
Person
,
the
relief
of
it
having
been
in
vain
attempted
by
Briol
.
Conde
storms
Rhetel
,
Chasteau-Porcin
,
and
St.
Menhoud
leaving
Garrisons
for
his
future
hopes
.
The
publich
Joy
,
and
Festival
Acclamations
,
for
the
returning
of
the
King
into
the
City
,
cannot
be
enough
expressed
.
Sedition
,
Faction
,
like
tales
told
,
are
vanished
out
of
the
memory
.
Paris
âȘ
glittered
with
the
lustre
of
the
Court
,
so
that
one
might
truly
say
the
shaken
and
starting
world
was
hâng
right
upon
his
hinges
again
.
Some
orders
in
the
Senate
were
enacted
by
the
Kings
command
.
The
more
obstinate
Senators
chased
out
of
the
City
;
the
submissive
by
disputing
nothing
,
obtained
pardon
of
all
things
;
an
agreement
useful
to
the
Subject
,
honourable
to
the
King
.
Orleans
went
not
to
meet
the
King
,
when
he
came
in
,
and
therefore
tarried
not
in
the
City
.
Retired
to
Limour
,
thence
to
Blois
,
to
the
end
of
his
life
,
always
discontented
.
His
Dutchess
a
little
while
after
overtook
him
.
Whilst
the
affairs
of
Guyenne
incline
towards
submission
to
the
King
,
a
new
faction
starts
up
at
Bourdeaux
called
the
Elmers
,
(
from
an
Elm-grove
,
where
at
a
certain
hour
of
the
day
,
the
Factors
of
sedition
held
their
discourseâ
about
the
government
of
the
State
.
)
The
chief
who
made
up
the
Junta
,
were
Putean
,
Gay
,
Villart
,
Dureteste
,
Blanc
,
Gourg
,
Espagnet
,
Raymond
,
Mauvoysin
,
and
others
.
These
deliberate
of
Peace
,
of
War
,
of
Confederating
with
the
Spaniard
,
with
the
English
.
Madam
Conde
,
Longueville
,
and
the
party
thereupon
droop
,
and
cannot
come
to
resolve
what
to
do
.
Conti
already
held
secret
treaty
about
alliance
with
Mazarine
.
Vandosme
and
Candale
renew
at
Bourdeaux
their
former
friendships
studiously
,
and
with
all
manner
of
civilities
.
Harcourt
so
often
daring
,
grows
cold
,
grudges
at
the
orders
of
the
Court
,
which
he
complained
had
not
considered
him
.
A
man
that
had
done
great
service
,
and
continued
without
prospect
of
reward
,
in
a
mean
condition
and
amongst
dangers
.
Brissac
upon
the
border
of
the
Rhine
,
taken
from
the
house
of
Austria
by
Weymar
,
remained
in
the
French
possession
,
Derlach
of
Berne
being
Governour
.
He
dies
,
Charlovoy
Captain
of
the
eldest
company
in
the
Castle
surviving
,
enters
upon
the
command
of
the
whole
Garrison
,
one
of
the
former
dependents
upon
Weybrantz
,
Tilliadet
is
sent
thither
by
the
Court
,
as
the
fashion
is
,
to
command
in
chief
.
Charlovoy
resents
this
grievously
,
as
though
he
had
been
disregarded
,
and
so
orders
his
matter
,
that
Tilliadet
was
obliged
to
go
from
thence
without
any
notice
taken
of
the
Kings
order
.
What
should
be
done
in
such
a
doubtful
point
?
The
Garrison
is
courted
by
the
Emperour
the
ancient
Lord
,
by
the
Lorrainer
,
by
Conde
.
The
Widow
of
Weybrantz
enraged
with
a
sting
of
Ambition
,
I
will
add
and
gain
,
interposes
to
reconcile
the
parties
at
difference
:
She
comes
to
Brissac
with
an
intention
by
all
means
of
obliging
the
Court
to
her
,
and
destroying
Charlovoy
.
By
the
ruine
of
such
a
person
,
the
vain
woman
had
presumed
upon
obtaining
no
small
reward
.
She
puts
upon
her
hook
the
bait
which
she
knew
he
would
bite
at
.
A
Mistress
,
is
made
the
decoy
:
to
visit
whom
the
poor
man
goes
out
of
the
Castle
.
The
Act
of
Charlovoy
was
as
weak
,
as
that
of
Madam
Weybrantz
was
foul
.
Whilest
he
trapanned
by
a
woman
is
conveyed
to
Flesburgh
:
She
is
shamefully
reviled
at
Brissac
and
hardly
escapes
safe
to
Basil
.
Harcourt
was
Governour
of
Flesburgh
;
a
Garrison
entirely
affected
to
him
.
There
Charlovoy
being
exceeding
courteously
entertained
,
becomes
obliged
to
him
,
who
absent
in
Guyenne
,
disgusted
with
the
unfaithfulness
of
the
Court
,
designed
to
get
Brissac
to
himself
,
and
Charlovoy
liberty
.
They
enter
covenants
.
Harcourt
withdraws
from
Guyenne
,
and
is
received
in
Brissac
by
Charlovoys
means
.
After
diverse
terrors
,
after
variety
of
hopes
proposed
,
at
length
he
conditions
with
the
King
.
He
comes
forth
of
the
Garrison
surreptitiously
gotten
,
is
preferred
to
the
Government
of
Anjou
,
Dignity
of
Constable
,
and
a
Church
Revenue
:
Honourable
and
fair
concessions
are
made
to
Charlovoy
.
Madam
Weybrantz
hated
on
both
sides
,
ended
her
restless
days
with
the
Spleen
and
Melancholy
.
At
a
solemn
Pomp
Rhetz
went
to
Compiegne
to
under
thanks
for
his
Hat
,
but
especially
to
gain
oblivion
of
past
miscarriages
,
and
credit
for
the
time
to
come
.
The
Queen
appositely
answered
,
What
is
done
is
gone
;
what
is
future
,
is
not
to
be
feared
.
The
Prelate
might
have
presaged
what
was
impendent
.
He
never
fearing
his
Estate
,
eternally
deceived
by
false
friends
,
through
the
humors
of
the
Pulpit
,
through
the
Complements
of
the
Court
,
through
the
Faction
of
the
People
,
whilst
he
seems
to
triumph
,
being
in
the
Louvre
arrested
by
Villequier
,
is
cast
into
the
Prison
at
Vincennes
.
Several
Treaties
were
for
the
Release
of
the
Prisoner
.
At
length
he
was
brought
to
Nants
,
and
made
his
escape
bravely
.
He
assisted
at
Rome
,
not
without
Reputation
,
at
the
Election
of
Alexander
.
From
hence
returning
to
France
,
he
voluntarily
laid
down
the
Archbishoprick
of
Paris
to
gratifie
the
King
.
He
lives
quietly
,
in
Splendour
suitable
to
his
disposition
;
what
he
is
to
do
at
Rome
,
the
sequel
of
the
story
will
inform
.
After
Rhetz
being
in
Prison
;
Conde
a
Stipendiary
in
Spain
;
Orleans
at
Bloise
either
praying
in
the
Church
,
or
hunting
in
the
Woods
,
there
could
not
chuse
but
be
secure
Peace
.
These
three
more
boldly
than
the
rest
made
up
the
Tragedy
,
but
at
the
pleasure
of
four
Women
;
ours
stood
a
long
time
right
.
These
others
having
a
womb
neither
happy
to
the
Kingdom
,
nor
themselves
,
whilst
they
measure
their
licence
of
sinning
by
their
high
qualities
,
have
most
dangerously
embroiled
all
France
.
Having
compassed
lesser
designs
,
still
aimed
at
greater
,
and
always
secretly
applied
by
their
Confidents
to
the
Cardinal
,
whom
they
detested
openly
;
yet
would
betray
one
another
.
Thus
was
Mazarine
the
Arbitrator
not
of
three
,
but
four
wanton
Goddesses
.
These
were
the
beginnings
,
these
the
grounds
of
the
civil
War
.
The
manner
of
carrying
it
on
was
very
bad
.
Civil
Arms
can
neither
be
raised
,
nor
held
by
good
practices
:
and
farther
the
aim
of
them
was
unsound
:
for
the
Commanders
pretending
the
Publick
Good
,
every
one
contend
to
advance
his
own
power
.
They
fight
on
both
sides
for
Rule
.
I
take
him
to
be
the
better
Citizen
and
Man
,
that
would
endure
any
torment
,
rather
than
not
only
to
be
a
Principal
,
but
an
Accessory
to
such
cruelty
.
If
you
are
obliged
to
meddle
and
take
party
,
look
it
be
with
this
condition
,
that
it
may
appear
a
Wise-man
,
as
you
do
against
your
choice
undertake
it
at
first
,
and
have
no
will
to
stand
it
out
to
the
last
.
And
always
be
of
this
Judgment
,
They
who
commit
themselves
to
these
Waves
,
are
no
more
in
their
own
power
,
than
they
who
are
tossed
upon
those
at
Sea
.
This
is
our
Determination
in
a
controverted
case
,
wherein
I
soon
understand
that
I
have
not
contented
such
as
are
hasty
to
take
up
Arms.
THE
NINTH
BOOK
OF
THE
History
of
FRANCE
.
The
CONTENTS
.
Mazarine
after
his
Return
,
pursues
nothing
so
eagerly
,
designs
nothing
so
earnestly
as
the
matter
of
the
Peace
;
bends
all
his
thoughts
upon
that
.
Because
the
Spaniards
had
hitherto
by
a
thousand
Artifices
dallied
in
it
;
he
extorts
it
from
them
against
their
wills
;
which
was
honourable
for
the
French
,
as
Conquerors
,
useful
to
the
Castillians
,
as
conquered
.
He
settles
France
,
reduces
his
Enemies
to
extremities
,
obligeth
his
Friends
,
descending
even
to
Cromwellism
,
to
the
terrifying
the
Haters
of
Peace
,
and
obliging
them
to
equal
conditions
.
DUring
the
influence
of
this
malignant
Planet
,
destructive
Arms
had
ranged
over
France
.
A
common
calamity
incident
to
the
Minority
of
Kings
;
which
proving
always
tempestuous
,
foul
consequents
can
neither
be
prevented
nor
amended
,
all
the
tackings
about
of
Policy
proving
ineffectual
.
Mazarine
without
any
farther
motion
,
did
at
that
distance
with
a
silent
exprobration
,
lay
before
their
consciences
his
innocency
,
and
profound
parts
.
And
forced
by
so
many
sufferings
a
conviction
that
none
was
worthy
to
stand
upon
that
Axle-tree
from
whence
he
could
not
be
pulled
down
.
At
length
his
Enemies
either
fell
in
mutual
engagement
one
against
the
other
,
or
fiâh
as
had
offended
upon
presumption
of
his
clemency
,
even
upon
constraint
,
did
voluntarily
make
their
Addresses
to
him
.
And
they
were
most
instrumental
in
his
Return
,
who
were
supposed
to
have
compassed
the
necessity
of
his
Departure
.
Manifestly
,
none
was
expulsed
with
greater
obloquy
,
nor
received
with
more
joy
.
Nor
was
the
Cardiâal
more
glorious
for
his
Triumphs
and
Honours
,
than
either
for
his
Banishment
,
or
the
cause
of
it
.
When
he
was
coming
,
Feb.
3.
1653.
his
Majesty
,
with
Monsieur
,
and
all
the
Grandees
of
the
Court
went
to
meet
him
two
miles
off
the
City
,
through
the
Port
of
S.
Denis
.
What
Embraces
and
Joys
there
were
,
that
innumerable
multitude
of
men
can
witness
,
whom
the
greatness
of
the
Sight
had
invited
to
gaze
on
the
Wonder
of
the
World
.
That
he
,
against
whom
so
many
capital
Ordinances
,
so
many
Armies
levied
,
the
Town
so
often
alarm'd
,
had
raged
and
roared
,
should
make
his
Entry
into
the
same
City
,
with
the
general
Applause
of
it
,
and
have
his
Return
adorned
with
unusual
Pomp.
The
King
took
him
along
with
him
into
his
Coach
,
and
carried
him
to
the
Louvre
.
To
the
end
of
his
life
,
he
with
his
Nieces
,
kept
in
no
other
House
than
the
Palace
.
Which
Honour
no
Favourite
ever
before
was
vouchsafed
.
The
News
of
his
Coming
was
entertained
by
publick
Expressions
of
Joy
in
most
Houses
.
The
Windows
set
with
Candles
,
and
Bonfires
made
,
which
the
Common-people
would
do
without
Order
,
although
it
be
against
Law
to
make
such
fires
,
unless
by
Command
from
the
King
,
when
publick
Joy
is
enjoyned
upon
the
having
got
Victories
or
other
happy
Occasions
.
Not
long
after
he
is
entertained
in
the
Town-house
,
by
the
Magistrate
,
and
Eschevins
,
and
all
the
Officers
,
with
so
great
Magnificence
,
and
such
sumptuous
Feasting
,
that
the
like
was
hardly
ever
seen
.
He
keeping
the
command
of
his
Face
,
but
admitting
approaches
to
his
Person
,
and
Hand
,
smiled
familiarly
upon
every
one
,
and
threw
money
among
the
Common-people
.
After
a
welcoming
with
such
Joy
,
Mazarine
more
pleasing
for
Novelty
is
preferred
before
old
Friends
,
and
all
bitterness
of
distasts
being
forgotten
,
is
re-admitted
into
his
former
Charge
,
and
wheels
cleverly
about
from
hatred
to
favour
.
When
there
was
any
matter
of
Punishment
or
Restraint
,
the
King
puts
others
upon
it
:
whatsoever
Rewards
or
Preferments
were
to
be
bestowed
,
he
reserved
that
to
pass
the
Cardinal
,
who
being
before
all
things
concerned
for
the
Treasury
,
vacant
by
the
death
of
Vieville
,
put
in
Abel
Servient
and
Nicolus
Fouquet
to
be
Commissioners
of
his
Majesties
Treasury
.
Servient
,
besides
the
Lustre
of
his
Birth
and
gentile
Qualities
,
had
abilities
proportioned
to
vast
business
;
of
an
inventive
Head
;
Maintainer
of
unlimited
Prerogative
,
able
in
Tongue
and
Pen
,
had
pierced
into
the
Intrigues
of
Courts
,
but
so
scandalously
deficient
in
comprehended
the
Secret
of
the
Treasury
,
that
by
what
employment
others
grow
rich
,
he
run
in
debt
.
He
died
in
the
Office
honourably
,
having
empaired
his
estate
.
Fouquet
under
a
neglected
Garb
,
shrowding
a
vast
Spirit
,
not
unmindful
of
his
Friends
,
but
of
his
Enemies
,
at
Lucullus
like
charges
,
mastered
Nature
,
and
oblidged
a
most
disadvantagious
Scituation
,
to
relent
into
a
delicious
Seat
;
without
wrong
to
any
but
himself
and
the
Kings
Treasure
.
Such
a
choice
of
Mazarine
to
the
management
of
the
Treasury
,
did
not
scape
censure
in
a
City
which
spares
no
body
.
Then
was
that
famous
word
of
the
Chancellours
given
abroad
.
Whatever
I
shall
do
,
said
he
,
My
Election
will
still
be
defective
.
Some
through
profuce
Riot
will
lavish
out
the
Royal
Wealth
.
Others
in
a
penurious
way
will
worse
discontent
the
Kingdom
:
Neither
will
duly
hold
up
their
authority
,
therefore
they
shall
not
hold
it
long
;
transported
with
Luxury
,
or
Pride
worse
than
Luxury
:
that
publick
mony
is
like
Rivers
which
run
from
the
Sea
and
to
the
Sea
,
having
refreshed
Countries
and
Cities
.
His
principal
care
was
over
Guyenne
,
which
if
it
were
torn
from
Conde
,
the
Princes
authority
would
be
deminished
with
the
Spaniard
,
and
the
reputation
of
his
power
,
by
which
Warrs
are
supported
.
That
charge
is
committed
to
Vandism
the
Admiral
.
A
Fleet
was
necessary
,
principally
because
of
the
Spaniards
drawing
down
and
preparing
Succours
.
Cândale
was
joyned
with
him
for
his
Interest
in
the
âavourers
in
the
house
of
Espernon
;
and
to
retreve
their
affections
,
for
he
was
of
a
sweet
disposition
,
and
had
disobliged
none
.
But
d'
Strade
was
Commander
in
chief
,
who
since
the
repentance
and
return
of
D'ognon
to
his
allegiance
was
Governour
of
Brouage
and
Rochel
.
A
man
experienced
in
diversities
of
Affairs
,
discreet
in
ordering
Peace
or
War
,
who
always
carried
on
the
force
of
Arms
with
a
concurrence
of
reason
,
and
to
whose
only
care
Guyenne
is
engaged
for
her
quit
.
Such
character
did
Mazarine
give
d'Estrade
;
who
presently
takes
in
Bourg
,
chasing
out
Osorio
and
the
Spanish
Garrison
.
Bourdeaux
was
not
of
one
judgment
.
It
made
for
the
Interest
of
some
to
have
the
war
eternal
.
These
bragged
of
great
Assistances
from
Spain
and
England
.
The
more
discreet
persons
detested
that
and
cried
out
after
Peace
:
a
sweet
word
,
which
none
but
Beasts
disesteem
.
Conti
just
entring
upon
Youth
,
did
moderate
in
the
City
torn
between
two
Factions
,
and
in
an
age
that
might
have
pleaded
an
excuse
from
engaging
in
such
Affairs
,
acted
what
might
have
become
gray-hairs
.
He
considers
in
his
mind
all
events
morally
possible
,
and
concludes
that
there
is
no
means
of
deliverance
but
in
submission
to
the
King
;
yet
that
too
must
not
be
over-hastily
sought
.
That
by
too
forward
a
suing
for
pardon
,
Grace
is
forestalled
.
Marsin
,
Lânet
,
and
aferwards
Fiesque
coming
over
from
Spain
,
Officers
in
Condes
Army
were
the
Incendiaries
of
the
war
of
Guyenne
,
nor
was
it
any
thanâ
to
them
that
it
had
not
been
perpetuated
,
havinâ
their
whole
fortunes
laid
in
the
publick
misery
.
These
too
began
to
perceive
that
Peace
was
likely
to
ensue
,
and
Conti's
inclination
towards
it
.
I
am
fully
informed
that
there
were
councels
held
about
surprising
him
,
which
being
afterwards
discover'd
came
to
nothing
.
In
the
mean
while
the
Royal
Army
distresses
poor
Bourdeaux
,
Provisions
growing
scant
,
the
common
people
murmur'd
against
the
better
sort
.
The
Etmers
let
the
Hospitals
loose
in
the
Town
,
and
cry
out
against
the
slackness
of
the
Spanish
supply
;
the
Townsmen
put
on
White
and
Red
Favours
,
the
colonrs
of
this
and
that
Party
;
a
White
Flag
is
set
upon
St.
Michaels
Steeple
,
and
the
Red
one
taken
down
;
the
first
token
of
their
returning
to
their
Allegiance
to
the
King
:
And
at
length
that
prevail'd
,
people
always
returning
to
their
Duty
,
which
strengthens
by
time
the
suppresser
of
Rebellion
.
The
Friends
of
Candale
,
and
those
that
were
affected
to
the
Royal
Party
,
went
so
often
forward
and
backward
,
till
that
a
Cessation
of
Arms
was
obtain'd
for
a
few
days
.
Provision
was
sent
in
by
the
Generals
permission
,
to
relieve
the
poor
Townsmen
.
This
course
was
discreetly
taken
in
order
to
Peace
,
which
is
concluded
with
a
perfect
Oblivion
of
the
past
Rebellion
;
all
honest
and
wise
men
forwarding
the
work
,
amongst
whom
Virlada
was
most
eminent
for
his
Zeal
,
Judgment
,
and
Industry
.
Between
the
Cessation
of
Arms
,
and
conclusion
of
the
Peace
,
arrives
at
the
mouth
of
the
Garonne
,
the
Spanish
Fleet
,
under
Santacruz
their
Admiral
.
It
was
studiously
endeavoured
to
conceal
that
Arrival
:
the
Spaniards
,
who
pretend
to
carry
away
the
reputations
of
Policy
from
the
other
Europeans
,
maturely
ponder
into
what
juncture
of
Affairs
they
were
plung'd
,
between
the
hopes
of
Bourdeaux
cut
short
,
their
Complices
vanquish'd
;
Bourg
lost
,
and
Libourn
,
and
so
the
French
Forces
every
where
Victorious
.
What
should
they
do
?
it
was
ev'n
their
wisest
course
immediately
to
go
back
again
;
which
was
accordingly
done
with
small
,
but
some
damage
.
Vendosme
and
Candale
are
not
only
receiv'd
in
Bourdeaux
with
loud
acclamations
,
but
such
was
their
confidence
in
that
Warlike
People
,
that
they
forbore
the
having
any
Guard
,
and
trusted
themselves
with
the
Burger
of
Bourdeaux
,
that
hath
no
baseness
in
him
.
Vandosme
could
speak
well
,
counsel
wisely
,
industriously
execute
,
and
had
a
great
reach
to
lay
Plots
and
Stratagems
to
circumvent
his
Enemy
.
Conti
retires
to
Cadillac
,
still
casting
in
his
mind
the
alliance
of
Mazarine
.
The
Princess
of
Conde
,
with
Enguien
to
Brabant
,
to
her
husband
.
Mechlin
was
the
Ladies
residence
.
Madam
Longueville
cloistered
her self
a
long
time
at
Moulines
in
a
Nunnery
,
afterwards
returning
to
her
husband
,
lived
in
concord
with
him
,
for
vertue
and
piety
exemplary
.
Marsin
,
Fiesque
,
and
Lenet
returned
to
the
Spaniards
.
The
Court
of
Bourdeaux
,
which
during
these
troubles
sate
at
Agennois
,
returns
to
the
principal
City
,
some

upon
the

of

that
he
might
not

seized

great
a
flourish
to

up

Embers

which
was

be
taxed
to

that
strong
party
upon
which
the
preservation
of

Low-Countries
did

Siege

to

lay
in

stout
defence
of

In
the
mean
time
Thurenne
,
for
diversion
of
the
Enemy
,
besiegeth
Mozome
,
and
soon
taketh
it
;
After
that
Rocroy
was
disabled
with
loss
of
men
,
and
had
spent
their
Ammunion
,
the
Spaniards
become
Maââers
of
it
,
and
bestow
it
upon
Conde
to
pacifie
his
ânger
against
Fuensaldagne
,
which
he
had
shew'd
with
violence
during
the
whole
time
of
the
Siege
;
ând
that
would
have
proceeded
to
worse
,
had
not
ââopaldus
come
in
as
a
Mediatour
,
with
whom
too
âe
had
a
contest
who
should
give
out
the
Word
;
ând
to
decide
the
controversie
,
they
were
fain
to
take
a
middle
way
:
Such
a
quarrelsom
business
hath
ill-fortune
perpetually
been
;
whilst
ev'ry
one
would
shift
off
the
blame
of
bad
successes
upon
the
other
.
After
the
taking
of
Saint
Menhoud
,
the
Court
minded
nothing
but
Masks
and
Comedies
:
In
the
Palace
of
Louvre
the
Wedding
of
Conti
was
solemnized
with
the
Countess
of
Martinezze
,
the
Cardinals
Neice
.
The
policy
of
the
Prince
is
to
be
commended
,
in
providing
for
himself
and
Conde's
Family
by
such
an
Alliance
.
His
Generosity
too
is
commendable
in
refusing
gallantly
the
goods
of
his
Brother
that
were
offered
him
:
further
,
his
Fortune
was
remarkable
in
having
light
upon
a
Wife
worthy
to
have
been
Courted
,
abating
the
accessions
of
a
splendid
condition
for
her
Beauty
and
Vertue
.
She
challeng'd
nothing
from
heâ
Uncles
greatness
,
but
the
content
in
it
,
never
caring
to
be
more
then
private
,
though
comparable
with
the
highest
Ladies
.
Their
Mother
too
was
presenâ
Mazarines
Sister
,
who
gave
a
like
proof
with
heâ
Daughter
,
that
Felicity
had
added
nothing
to
them
but
the
deporting
themselves
so
in
that
condition
as
it
gave
testimony
to
their
Humility
.
During
the
publick
joy
,
Charles
D.
of
Lorrain
ăâă
made
Prisoner
at
Brussels
,
and
hurried
away
intâ
Antwerp
Castle
,
and
afterwards
conveyed
by
Sââ
to
Toledo
in
Spain
,
after
so
many
Campania's
madâ
in
that
Nation
.
He
could
not
hastily
have
expected
such
a
turn
,
whom
Fortune
had
so
often
dââceiv'd
.
It
was
given
out
that
he
had
clash'd
wiââ
Conde
,
but
the
soreness
of
their
anger
consider'â
does
abundantly
demonstrate
that
he
had
madâ
some
secret
contract
with
the
French
.
Oftentimes
had
he
been
forwarn'd
of
the
danger
that
was
ready
to
fall
upon
him
,
but
despis'd
all
admonitions
;
and
had
a
plain
dream
of
it
that
very
night
,
which
was
the
last
of
his
liberty
in
the
Low-Countries
.
Predictions
are
not
to
be
heeded
,
but
dreams
may
with
moderation
,
and
without
Superstition
.
For
the
Spirit
being
oppress'd
with
cares
,
oftentimes
the
apparitions
of
future
occurrents
do
pass
before
our
thought
in
time
of
sleep
,
whether
excited
by
the
trouble
of
our
mind
,
or
the
presage
of
our
working
fancies
.
Duke
Francis
of
Lorrain
,
the
Prisoners
Brother
,
is
courted
by
both
sides
,
as
being
to
succeed
in
the
command
over
those
Lorrain
Troops
.
He
judg'd
it
more
convenient
to
join
with
the
Spaniard
,
and
afterwards
without
having
perform'd
any
considerable
Action
,
embrac'd
the
French
Protection
,
the
issue
proving
neither
successful
to
himself
nor
the
French
.
The
year
following
,
after
the
Inauguration
of

Majesty
at

,
which
is
perform'd
with

in
the
Dukedom
of
Luxemburgh
.
The
Castle
strong
by
natural
situation
,
and
fortify'd
by
Art
,
was
so
couragiously
defended
,
that
the
Fortune
of
France
had
almost
been
check'd
at
that
place
from
passing
farther
.
Mountmaudict
or
Mountdamnable
,
it
was
not
unreasonably
call'd
by
the
Antients
,
being
built
upon
a
Natural
Rock
.
The
Spaniards
out
of
confidence
that
the
Siege
would
either
be
long
or
fruitless
,
fall
with
the
gross
of
their
Army
upon
Arras
.
Who
could
believe
that
the
Arms
of
his
Majesty
should
be
so
fortunate
,
as
that
upon
the
arrival
of
Thurenne
,
and
the
application
of
our
whole
strength
,
with
an
incredible
effusion
of
Treasure
;
the
Rendition
was
extorted
with
such
speed
,
that
the
Victorious
Army
being
possess'd
of
Mont-midy
,
did
also
relieve
Arras
;
which
Mondejus
held
bravely
out
in
extremity
of
distress
.
Here
was
the
last
attempt
of
Leopoldus
and
Fuensaldagne
;
the
valour
of
Conde
can
scarce
be
reach'd
by
the
Pen
,
who
alone
bore
the
French
charge
,
and
brought
off
the
trembling
Spaniards
It
was
resolv'd
in
the
Counsel
of
Spain
,
by
change
of
Governours
,
to
relieve
the
distress'd
estate
of
Flanders
.
Leopoldus
and
Fuentsaldagne
are
revok'd
,
in
whose
room
,
with
the
Marquess
of
Caracene
,
is
put
in
Commission
,
Don
Juan
of
Austria
,
the
Kings
natural
Son
,
famous
for
his
great
successes
in
restoring
the
settlement
of
Naples
,
and
obliging
Barcellona
to
surrender
,
in
all
undertakings
fortunate
.
He
had
scarce
enter'd
Flanders
,
when
he
reliev'd
Valenciennes
,
besieg'd
by
the
French
,
where
he
beat
up
the
quarter
of
Seneterre
at
midnight
,
and
made
a
mighty
slaughter
then
through
the
Piles
of
the
slain
,
having
taken
the
Marshal
Prisoner
,
enter'd
victorious
into
the
desolate
City
;
for
the
Scheld
lying
between
Thurenne
,
could
not
come
in
to
the
assistance
of
his
Fellow-commander
,
nor
unite
the
two
Camps
.
The
greatest
part
of
the
glory
of
that
service
was
attributed
to
the
valour
of
Conde
,
was
also
the
relief
of
Cambray
,
whose
Siege
he
rais'd
by
conveying
Successors
into
the
Town
,
through
the
heart
of
the
Enemy
,
himself
leading
the
party
,
and
facing
danger
.

thankfulness
for
the
action

stamp'd
Medals
,
with
this

Virgin

and

our
Deliverer
.
But
these
joyful
beginnings
of
Don
Juans
Government
,
were
shortly
after
sunk
into
a
lamentable
issue
in
the
Sands
of
Dunkirk
;
of
which
in
its
proper
place
.
Mazarine
always
plotting
for
peace
,
and
being
assur'd
that
the
Spaniards
would
never
condescend
to
any
terms
,
till
they
were
cudgell'd
into
it
,
engag'd
Cromwell's
affection
with
that
dexterity
by
Bourdeaux
,
that
he
rejected
with
scorn
the
repeated
Embassies
of
the
Spaniard
,
and
courted
the
friendship
of
the
French
,
using
the
negotiation
of
William
Lockhart
was
to
conclude
the
new
confederacy
.
This
Lokhuart
for
his
piercing
parts
so
acceptable
to
Mazarine
,
that
he
alone
engross'd
more
of
the
publick
business
,
then
all
the
Embassadors
else
that
were
then
in
Paris
.
He
maketh
new
Propositions
to
the
Cardinal
,
that
the
Forces
of
both
Kingdoms
might
be
united
against
the
Spaniard
,
the
common
Enemy
.
Lionne
,
which
Lomeny
Earl
of
Bryenne
,
his
Majesties
Secretary
,
Treats
with
Lockhart
about
the
new
Agreement
;
the
Articles
of
the
Expedition
are
interchangably
subscrib'd
March
23.
1657.
The
substance
of
them
was
this
;
Towards
the
forceing
Peace
from
the
Spaniards
that
were
averse
,
that
the
French
and
English
forces
be
joyned
together
;
that
Siege
be
laid
to
Gravelyn
,
Dunkirk
,
and
Mardike
;
and
if
they
were
taken
,
Gravelin
to
be
held
by
the
French
;
Dunkirk
,
and
Mardike
by
the
English
preserving
entire
the
Profession
of
the
Catholick
Religion
.
This
League
to
endure
a
full
year
,
in
which
time
no
Treaty
of
Peace
to
be
made
with
the
Spaniard
,
but
by
common
consent
.
But
the
Summer
of
that
year
proving
too
short
,
retarded
the
Design
only
Mardike
,
being
then
taken
;
saving
that
the
Spaniard
,
alarm'd
at
so
strong
a
Combination
,
to
suspect
their
own
strength
,
took
special
care
to
secure
the
places
on
that
Sea-coast
.
Then
dyed
Belleure
prime
President
of
the
Parliament
of
Paris
,
of
great
Authority
in
the
gowned
Assembly
,
but
growing
more
and
more
daily
out
of
favour
at
Court
.
He
took
much
upon
him
,
delighted
to
wear
about
him
a
Train
and
many
Lacquays
,
kept
Horses
and
Hounds
for
credit
and
pleasure
,
having
Furniture
about
him
exceeding
all
bounds
.
His
Ancestors
Seat
that
had
been
defaced
with
dust
,
was
gilt
over
by
him
:
yet
these
Braveries
could
not
prevent
the
Owner
from
being
scorched
up
with
a
Feaver
.
Lamogny
succeeded
him
,
being
in
high
reputation
for
having
well
discharged
the
Office
of
Master
of
Requests
,
and
for
integrity
of
conversation
.
A
person
to
that
degree
commendable
as
honesty
can
be
understood
.
Christina
Queen
of
Swethland
,
,
the
Issue
of
the
Great
Gustavus
,
having
relinquished
her
Kingdoms
,
and
confirmed
at
Rome
the
knowledge
of
the
Catholick
Religion
,
whose
first
foundations
she
had
laid
at
Inspruck
,
resolved
for
the
satisfaction
of
her
curiosity
to
travel
,
to
survey
divers
parts
of
Europe
,
to
inform
her self
of
their
Customs
and
Policies
.
Inveigled
with
the
delights
of
France
,
returned
this
year
pretending
to
some
News
she
had
to
communicate
,
and
as
though
she
were
assured
of
the
State
of
Naples
,
proposed
the
hopes
of
that
Kingdom
to
the
Duke
of
Anjou
.
Mazarine
entertained
her
at
the
Court
at
Fountain-belleau
,
and
though
he
slighted
the
idle
Report
,
that
the
Queen
had
brought
,
yet
held
her
in
Treaty
by
Letters
and
other
Applications
.
In
the
mean
time
casting
behind
her
back
the
Reverence
due
to
the
Royal
House
,
she
ordered
one
of
her
Retinue
to
be
pistolled
,
under
pretence
of
his
being
a
Traitor
and
Revealer
of
his
Ladies
Secrets
,
though
he
in
vain
pleaded
for
the
protection
of
that
priviledged
place
.
It
was
debated
whether
she
should
be
turned
forth
without
coming
into
his
Majesties
Presence
,
or
whether
the
Fact
should
be
questioned
.
It
seemed
more
adviseable
to
wave
the
seeking
reparations
:
Therefore
his
Majesty
visits
her
without
making
any
mention
of
the
person
slain
,
and
she
having
tartied
a
few
days
,
was
honourably
dismissed
,
and
returned
to
Rome
.
The
year
following
1658.
in
the
beginning
of
the
Spring
was
the
League
renewed
with
the
English
,
Abel
Servient
Lord
Treasurer
,
and
the
Count
of
Bryenne
concluding
with
Lockhart
.
The
Siege
of
Dunkird
was
resolved
at
Amiens
;
and
for
a
blind
of
it
;
the
King
gave
abroad
that
he
had
taken
up
an
intention
to
reduce
Hedin
.
After
the
death
of
Bellebran
the
Governor
Riviere
and
Forgan
,
who
were
Officers
is
the
Garrison
,
having
shaken
off
the
yoke
,
did
alike
disown
both
the
French
and
Spanish
Command
.
The
Court
had
drawn
down
thither
to
repress
the
Mutineers
,
but
they
being
neither
deterred
with
the
brightness
of
Majesty
,
nor
with
a
most
powerful
Army
,
discharged
their
Guns
,
and
by
all
sort
of
Hostility
filled
up
the
full
measure
of
Rebellion
.
From
thence
the
King
marches
straight
for
Calais
.
Whither
he
was
scarcely
arrived
,
but
that
he
is
certified
of
the
investing
Dunkirk
by
Thurenne
,
accompanied
with
the
English
Arms
,
under
the
Conduct
of
Lockhart
,
to
the
admiration
of
all
the
Low-Countries
,
that
in
the
want
of
Forrage
,
Wood
,
Turfe
,
Wheat
,
their
courage
did
not
fail
.
Herein
,
as
in
other
occasions
,
the
Providence
of
Mazarine
was
remarkable
,
who
by
continual
Convoys
by
Sea
,
mastered
the
barrenness
of
the
Soil
,
and
with
industry
supplied
the
defects
of
Nature
.
The
King
and
he
visited
Mardike
to
give
the
nearer
countenance
to
the
Expedition
.
But
it
was
judged
safer
,
for
his
Majesty
to
stay
at
Calais
,
whilst
the
Event
of
the
Enterprise
was
yet
in
doubt
,
as
doubtful
it
was
.
Cromwell
sent
his
Son-in-Law
Falconbridge
Embassadour
Extraordinary
to
kiss
the
Kings
Hand
at
Calais
,
and
acquaint
him
,
That
he
was
grieved
,
that
by
reason
of
hit
age
,
and
the
weight
of
his
Affairs
,
he
could
not
come
in
person
to
wait
upon
his
Majesty
,
and
give
himself
the
satisfaction
of
seeing
him
.
The
taking
of
Dunkirk
he
indeed
wished
more
to
advance
by
it
the
Kings
Glory
,
than
for
any
profit
or
reputation
to
the
English
Nation
.
Falconbridge
is
honourably
received
by
the
King
,
and
having
been
presented
sumptuously
and
magnificently
returned
home
.
In
the
mean
time
Thurenne
assaulted
Dunkirk
,
the
Marquess
of
Leyds
more
stoutly
defending
.
The
Spanish
Low-Countries
bent
and
restrained
their
whole
Power
to
relieve
the
distressed
City
.
Dou
Juan
d'Austria
and
Conde
drew
up
not
far
off
,
and
sent
in
Hoquincourt
,
who
as
he
views
the
French
Camp
,
was
shot
through
by
a
common
Souldier
;
happy
in
his
misfortune
,
because
by
looking
out
his
Fate
he
anticipated
the
destruction
that
was
imminent
over
the
Spaniards
.
Thurenne
,
June
14.
1658.
about
nine
in
the
morning
,
having
left
the
care
of
the
Trench
to
Richlieu
,
went
to
seek
the
approaching
Spaniard
,
and
met
with
him
,
which
gave
the
Enemy
terrour
.
The
Marquess
of
Crequi
commanded
the
right
wing
,
and
he
was
matched
with

understood
not
to
be

the

Squadron
,
where
stood
Lockhart
with
his
English
.
Scarce
was
ever
a
more
bloody
Fight
in
so
short
a
time
.
Whatsoever
old
Souldiers
were
in
the
Spanish
Forces
fell
before
the
face
of
Don
Juan
,
who
being
himself
obliged
to
retreat
,
is
reported
to
have
cryed
out
,
That
he
was
conquered
by
savage
Beasts
that
rushed
on
furiously
without
any
sense
of
danger
.
Few
of
the
French
were
lost
.
Conde
having
his
Horse
killed
under
him
,
escaped
hardly
,
mounted
on
anothers
.
His
most
intimate
friends
were
taken
,
Guitault
,
Mely
,
Boutteville
,
Collins
,
and
others
.
The
Baggage
and
Colours
left
upon
the
place
fell
to
the
Victor
.
Thurennes
valour
was
extolled
even
by
the
Enemy
,
who
in
so
great
a
Battel
acted
more
than
commanded
.
And
what
less
could
be
expected
of
such
a
Captain
,
to
whom
no
face
of
War
is
new
and
strange
,
who
hath
imbibed
all
Military
Discipline
,
and
perfected
it
by
long
practice
,
having
been
so
often
exercised
by
Fortune
,
and
always
out-done
others
and
himself
?
No
farther
hope
of
Relief
being
left
the
besieged
,
Leyda
held
out
Dunkirk
to
the
last
undaunted
;
and
at
last
crushed
under
so
many
cares
and
hazardous
attempts
,
dyed
of
a
shot
;
fortunate
in
this
,
that
he
did
not
survive
the
destruction
of
the
City
,
but
had
its
monumental
Walls
the
Witnesses
of
his
Valour
.
The
besieged
City
followed
his
Fate
,
which
surrendred
to
the
French
King
.
He
on
the
25.
of
June
entred
it
,
thinking
himself
abundantly
satisfied
in
securing
the
old
Religion
.
Lockhart
in
the
Name
of
Cromwell
engaged
by
solemn
Oath
,
that
the
Catholick
Profession
should
be
preserved
entire
at
Dunkirk
.
The
neighbouring
Cities
Bergen
,
Dixmuid
,
and
Feurne
readily
render
to
the
King
.
Crequi
is
sent
in
a
pompous
Ambassade
to
Cromwell
with
Mazarines
Nephew
in
his
Train
.
This
was
the
last
Blaze
of
that
petty
Tyrant
who
dyed
not
long
after
,
in
his
Bed
,
a
rare
instance
.
The
whole
World
run
a
madding
after
the
Fanatick
,
to
whose
industry
was
attributed
what
should
be
imputed
to
the
Vicissitude
of
Times
.
The
dulness
of
his
stupid
Age
acquired
him
Reputation
.
Such
Monsters
do
arise
when
unavoidable
Alterations
are
imminent
;
which
must
be
without
delay
taken
off
,
or
the
proper
time
attended
:
yet
for
all
this
passions
of
cruelty
are
not
to
be
provoked
,
nor
mens
spirits
inflamed
to
Revenge
.
They
oftentimes
fall
into
no
great
inconveniencies
who
take
wrongs
patiently
.
Amidst
these
prosperous
successes
,
the
King
falls
into
a
Feaver
at
Calais
,
judged
mortal
.
His
Mother
groaned
over
the
Fate
of
her
Son
,
France
of
her
King
,
Mazarine
of
his
Master
.
Supplications
are
made
at
all
Altars
,
and
Prayers
for
his
Majesties
Recovery
publickly
enjoyned

Mazarine
day
and
night
sate
by
his
Bed-side
,
to
make
him
governable
in
taking
Physick
,
which
he
would
taste
himself
,
either
to
take
off
the
unpleasantness
,
or
make
proof
of
it
.
The
eleventh
day
accounted
Critical
,
the
King
seemed
at
the
point
of
death
;
could
scarcely
lift
up
his
eyes
,
that
now
appeared
almost
set
in
his
head
.
The
agony
of
the
disease
a
little
remitting
,
he
came
to
know
them
that
stood
by
him
;
his
Majesty
never
being
totally
eclipsed
.
Oftentimes
turning
to
Mazarine
,
whom
he
(
obligingly
called
by
the
name
of
Friend
)
would
ask
him
,
to
advise
him
freely
of
the
extreme
danger
of
his
life
,
since
his
Mother
out
of
tenderness
of
affection
could

himself
modestly
.

Although

among
the

Spirits
desirous

Alteration
,
that
before
the
setting

adored
the
rising

The
King
having
Antimony
with
judgment
administred
him
by
Geunault
,
recovered
,
and
being
conveyed
to
Paris
,
payed
his
Vows
in
Nostre-dame-Church
;
a
Heart
of
massie
Gold
was
hung
upon
the
Wall
as
an
Oblation
.
Afterwards
to
confirm
his
Health
,

The
taking
of
Graveling
was
the
last
Monument
of
the
French
Glory
before
the
Conclusion
of
the
Peace
.
Ferdinand
III.
was
dead
,
and
before
his
Father
,
Ferdinand
the
King
of
the
Romans
.
The
Imperial
Throne
was
vacant
;
for
Leopoldus
being
in
his
Minority
,
was
not
yet
of
an
Age
capable
to
manage
the
Empire
.
Thus
was
there
a
wide
field
set
open
for
the
Ambition
of
the
Princes
.
This
seemed
a
fit
opportunity
to
rend
the
Imperial
Dignity
from
the
House
of
Austria
.
It
is
a
hard
matter
to
throw
down
from
its
ancient
Seat
,
a
reigning
Family
that
is
confirmed
by
the
uninterrupted
succession
of
so
many
years
.
Gustavus
Adolphus
King
of
Swethland
having
a
just
quarrel
against
the
Austrians
,
had
indeed
laid
aside
all
thought
concerning
himself
,
but
promised
his
Service
to
promote
the
Interest
of
others
.
There
occurred
worthy
of
the
Empire
in
the
Bavarian
Line
Ferdinandus
Maria
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
if
you
consider
his
power
;
if
prudence
and
maturity
of
Age
,
Philip
William
Duke
of
Newburgh
.
An
honourable
Embassie
is
ordered
by
the
French
King
,
for
the
performance
of
which
Gramont
Mareschal
of
France
,
and
the
Marquess
Lyonne
are
chosen
by
the
King
with
these
Instructions
;
To
go
to
Frankfurt
upon
Meyne
(
where
the
Electoral
Diet
was
held
)
that
there
they
should
possess
the
Electors
minds
;
should
pervent
the
Spanish
designs
;
should
obviate
the
applications
of
Pigneranda
,
who
was
manifestly
designed
a
Broker
of
Voices
,
That
the
Germans
should
be
minded
of
their
ancient
liberty
,
and
of
chusing
an
Emperour
not
of
the
House
of
Austria
,
upon
the
remembrance
of
their
arrogant
exercise
of
their
Authority
:
to
steer
their
motions
by
the
directions
of
the
Bishop
of
Mentz
.
Upon
his
Advice
this
Embassie
was
undertaken
.
The
Ambassadors
perform
their
parts
diligently
,
âating
that
of
Bravery
and
Magnificence
,
wherein
they
did
not
so
much
feed
the
eyes
of
the
Vulgar
,
as
the
hopes
of
the
Grandees
.
They
decently
address
to
the
Elector
of
Mentz
and
the
rest
.
That
their
Master
did
not
sue
for
the
Empire
in
his
own
behalf
,
but
for
some
German
Prince
.
That
the
Electors
should
assume
Spirits
worthy
of
their
Predecessors
,
and
not
suffer
the
Empire
gotten
by
their
joynt
valour
to
be
longer
entailed
upon
one
Family
.
That
there
can
be
no
benefit
hoped
of
the
Peace
of
Munster
,
as
long
as
the
Spaniards
are
predominant
in
the
Emperours
Council
.
That
the
Austrian
strength
having
been
impaired
by
so
many
overthrows
,
so
much
the
more
care
should
they
take
,
lest
by
their
acquiring
the
Imperial
Name
,
their
power
might
turn
to
the
prejudice
of
Germany
.
Nor
are
their
threats
of
holding
forth
revenge
for
the
repulse
,
to
be
considered
.
The
Aids
of
France
should
not
be
backward
to
maintain
their
Liberties
.
That
the
French
Forces
upon
the
Borders
of
Lorraine
and
Luxemburgh
are
at
the
Electors
Command
.
That
the
Austrian
Souldiers
being
dispersed
into
remote
places
,
cannot
so
easily
come
into
a
Body
,
and
give
the
Electors
Law
.
The
Bishop
of
Mentz
having
praised
the
Kings
intention
,
professed
that
he
had
the
like
inclinations
,
but
that
it
was
a
matter
rather
of
wishes
than
hopes
;
his
Fellow-Electors
without
end
crying
up
the
Austrian
Family
,
abetted
with
the
Power
of
so
many
Kingdoms
and
neighbouring
Provinces
,
being
the
Bank
of
the
Catholick
Religion
against
the
inundations
of
the
Turk
.
When
the
French
Embassadours
hinted
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
to
them
,
Mentz
interrupting
,
said
the
Electors
would
not
do
their
Colledge
that
wrong
,
as
to
lay
aside
the
Possessor
of
so
many
Kingdoms
,
and
take
in
a
Prince
not
of
their
own
number
:
that
only
the
Duke
of
Bavariâ
among
the
Electors
can
be
nominated
to
stand
in
competition
with
Leopaldus
,
according
to
their
Orders
:
But
that
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
would
not
presume
;
and
therefore
that
Leopoldus
could
not
be
put
by
,
but
should
be
admitted
upon
such
terms
as
that
the
holy
Laws
of
the
Empire
may
not
be
infringed
,
nor
the
publick
Peace
disturbed
:
the
French
answer
that
Leopoldus
was
incapable
by
their
orders
,
as
not
being
yet
full
eighteen
year
old
,
and
as
not
being
yet
chosen
King
by
the
Bohemian
,
by
vertue
of
which
Kingdom
he
was
reckonedan
Elector
of
the
Empire
.
Gramont
with
intention
to
sound
the
Bavarians
mind
,
waving
the
title
of
Embassadour
,
went
incognite
to
Muncken
,
and
made
a
turn
through
Heydelberg
alledging
any
sleight
matter
for
the
occasion
of
his
Journey
.
In
Muncken
he
lodged
at
Curtius
his
acquaintances
house
,
who
had
formerly
been
entertained
with
him
:
He
forbore
no
argument
to
that
principal
Confident
of
the
Bavarian
;
Curtius
answered
,
that
hit
Prince
was
of
that
tendernes
of
Conscience
,
that
he
would
never
attempt
any
forbidden
thing
,
and
sue
for
the
Empire
that
was
not
his
due
.
Curtius
added
,
If
you
knew
by
what
engagements
this
house
is
linked
with
that
of
Austria
,
you
would
attribute
to
singular
prudence
,
what
perhaps
you
now
impute
to
sloathfulness
.
Gramont
returns
without
effecting
what
he
attempted
,
Adelais
the
Bavarians
Wife
a
Savoyard
,
the
Kings
Cousin
German
,
in
vain
impelling
the
Dukes
mind
to
the
imperial
Crown
.
The
Dukes
Mother
an
Austrian
,
and
Curtius
by
several
obligations
tied
to
the
house
big
with
Empires
,
restrained
the
Bavarians
mind
,
who
is
contented
with
his
own
condition
,
and
soars
not
over-high
.
So
all
the
Plots
against
the
Austrians
proved
ineffectual
,
and
Leopold
chosen
King
of
the
Bohemians
at
Prague
,
presently
rid
to
Franckfurt
with
Piâââranda
the
dispenser
of
the
Treasure
:
there
is
no
longer
debate
of
rejecting
him
,
but
of
limiting
him
to
certain
Articles
,
which
having
been
commonly
spread
abroad
,
it
is
superfluous
to
copy
out
in
this
place
.
July
15.
1658.
the
Election
followed
the
French
Embassadours
departing
as
is
customary
,
who
returned
into
France
without
waiting
upon
the
Emperour
Leopoldus
.
Upon
the
decease
of
John
King
of
Portugal
,
his
Wife
by
consent
of
the
Cortes
is
admitted
to
the
Regency
.
She
thinking
the
French
Aids
necessary
to
support
that
State
,
sends
in
Embassy
into
France
,
Padre
Domingo
,
a
Dominican
Frier
,
her
Confessor
to
sound
their
minds
.
This
was
principal
in
his
instruction
amongst
the
Articles
of
making
a
League
,
that
the
Daughter
of
Portugal
might
marry
with
his
most
Christian
Majesty
.
Domingo
is
honourably
entertained
,
but
it
was
judged
proper
to
send
an
Embassadour
to
Lisbon
,
that
so
great
transactions
might
not
seem
to
depend
upon
the
single
faith
of
a
Monk
.
Cominges
is
chosen
upon
divers
accounts
qualified
for
the
Treaty
.
Eminent
in
birth
,
industrious
,
politick
,
bearing
a
faith
to
the
Queen
,
unshaken
even
in
the
most
doubtful
times
,
which
are
wont
to
discover
false
hearts
,
or
to
alter
unconstant
ones
.
Such
a
man
did
the
weight
of
the
affair
require
.
For
when
as
the
Queen
was
averse
to
a
match
with
the
Portuguese
,
it
was
not
to
be
trusted
but
to
a
faithful
Person
,
as
was
Cominges
beyond
others
.
Mazarine
designing
in
his
mind
a
Peace
,
inclined
to
this
Embassy
of
Cominges
,
not
so
much
seriously
to
promote
a
League
with
that
Nation
,
as
to
distract
the
Spaniards
with
jealousies
in
requital
of
a
repulse
received
by
Lyonne
.
When
Cominges
arrives
at
the
Portugal
Border
every
age
,
both
Sexes
entertain
him
with
Applause
and
Festival
Acclamations
,
as
the
Assertor
of
their
publick
liberty
.
By
the
complacence
of
his
wit
he
easily
insinuated
into
the
Queens
favour
,
forwarding
the
womans
Ambition
,
and
prompting
to
all
that
which
might
lead
the
high-spirited
Lady
to
Glory
,
by
the
obvious
example
of
our
Queen
,
who
had
chased
away
the
deadly
storms
with
her
sole
prudence
,
and
having
subdued
her
Rebels
,
enjoyed
her
Kingdom
in
peace
.
Her
Majesty
of
Portugal
yielded
a
willing
ear
to
him
discoursing
on
a
pleasing
subject
,
and
answered
modestly
,
nor
according
to
the
pride
inherent
in
that
Nation
.
To
follow
such
an
example
,
was
indeed
resolved
by
her
,
but
to
reach
it
would
be
difficult
,
and
turning
her
eyes
to
both
her
Children
which
stood
by
her
,
and
never
stirred
from
thence
.
This
,
saith
she
,
is
the
bound
of
my
Labours
,
and
I
desire
to
live
so
long
till
I
can
prefer
them
.
France
will
abundantly
oblige
me
,
if
it
look
,
favourably
on
them
.
In
modest
terms
she
intimated
the
Marriage
of
her
Daughter
.
The
People
transported
with
greedy
hopes
,
and
anticipated
joys
,
snatcht
up
uncertainties
of
expression
for
concessions
:
in
publick
acclamations
congratulating
them
as
Husband
and
Wife
,
by
too
forward
an
exultation
did
provoke
Fortune
.
The
Common-people
of
Lisbonne
breathing
after
only
Liberty
comes
to
the
Embassadours
house
,
which
is
a
strange
act
.
And
being
troubled
at
the
dubious
proceeding
,
begs
and
beseeches
him
to
open
the
causes
of
it
,
crying
out
against
the
corruption
of
Ministers
,
and
threatning
to
be
avenged
of
them
.
Cominges
discreetly
minded
the
people
of
their
duty
,
composing
the
waves
of
Sedition
with
a
proper
Oration
:
when
they
enquired
more
particularly
into
the
secrets
of
the
Marriage
,
he
fairly
dismissed
them
as
being
too
bold
,
yet
not
without
a
donative
.
About
this
time
Cominges
frankly
spoke
his
mind
to
her
Majesty
of
Portugal
,
and
shewed
her
in
what
danger
she
was
,
her
Ministers
disagreeing
,
her
Officers
unable
to
command
,
her
People
divided
;
that
it
was
his
Masters
mind
to
assist
the
Portuguez
in
all
Conditions
,
and
not
to
start
from
the
Articles
of
the
Agreement
already
begun
:
but
that
it
were
more
adviseable
to
finish
it
wholly
by
an
Embassadour
at
Paris
.
Thus
Cominges
acquainted
with
the
Treaty
of
Pementelli
,
preserving
entire
the
dignity
of
an
Embassadour
,
withdrew
himself
from
the
indignation
of
the
Portuguez
.
Sovre

by
her
Majesty
of

,
who

complains
to
Mazarine
that
he
came
to
know
only
by
the
common
rumour
of
the
vulgar
,
that
a
Treaty
of
Peace
with
the
Spaniards
was
in
agitation
,
sobbing
out
instead
of
words
,
tears
,
and
broken
murmurings
after
a
lamentable
tone

The
Cardinal
was
not
behind
in
acting
his
part
,
and
staid
the
Legate
with
a
cordial
of
good
words
,
whilst
he
fixes
all
necessaries
for
his
Journey
to
conclude
the
Peace
with
Don
Lowis

Haro

which
we
will
treat

as
a

,
formidable

as
a
Conquerour
.
IN
the
last
part
of
my
work
I
may
take
the
boldness
to
use
that
Preface
,
which
most
have
premitted
in
the
beginning
of
their
whole
Narrations
,
that
Iam
about
to
write
the
most
memorable
affair
that
hath
occurred
in
this
age
,
which
is
the
difficult
work
of
concluding
the
Peace
,
which
notwithstanding
the
opposite
reasons
of
Princes
,
after
so
many
ineffectual
attempts
,
amidst
Interests
labouring
to
the
contrary
,
Mazarine
happily
transacted
.
Here
,
first
of
all
,
it
is
sufficiently
manifest
that
since
the
friendship
accorded
between
Henry
and
Philip
in
the
agreement
made
at
Vervin
,
betwixt
the
care
of
determining
that
War
,
and
commencing
a
new
one
,
there
had
fallen
out
divers
provocations
which
might
have
rescinded
the
Articles
,
and
by
the
heats
of
both
Nations
pass
on
to
open
blows
,
the
Peace
never
standing
unmoved
,
but
shaken
with
lesser
contraventions
.
After
the
death
of
Henry
taken
off
in
the
very
preparations
of
a
new
War
,
during
the
unactive
times
of
d'
Ancres
and
Luines
,
we
fell
upon
Richelieu
,
who
having
happily
composed
the
affairs
at
home
,
first
introduced
among
the
French
,
the
exercise
of
a
strict
Authority
.
He
was
resolved
to
have
War
,
for
so
he
might
the
more
securely
,
at
the
expense
of
foreign
blood
,
maintain
his
dominion
.
His
Principal
aim
was
to
reduce
all
to
the
standard
of
an
absolute
Monarchy
,
to
shake
off
that
long
continued
Yoke
,
whereby
the
liberty
of
the
Crown
is
circumscribed
by
Acts
of
Parliament
,
and
the
Peoples
good
.
So
to
guild
over
with
policy
,
practises
ungracious
to
the
publick
,
that
mony
for
the
War
might
be
raised
with
the
peoples
applause
,
whose
eyes
the
appearances
of
so
many
Triumphs
,
and
the
Eminency
of
his
person
did
dazzle
.
Upon
pretence
of
the
Archbishop
of
Triers
being
ill
used
by
the
Austrians
Riâhelieu
that
was
greedy
after
occasion
,
thought
ăâă
no
longer
to
delay
,
but
joyning
with
the
Swedish
Arms
,
made
War
up
,
on
the
Spaniard
no
more
by
Auxiliar
Forces
,
but
openly
,
and
proclaimed
it
a
Brussels
by
an
Herauld
,
renewing
old
Custom
.
It
is
not
my
business
here
to
recount
the
Damages
receiv'd
or
done
,
the
Battels
and
Slaughters
wherewith
the
strong
Forces
of
either
Nation
did
mutually
destroy
one
another
.
On
the
contrary
,
I
think
this
to
be
worth
my
pains
,
to
turn
my self
away
from
the
beholding
of
so
many
miseries
,
as
our
Age
hath
for
so
many
years
beheld
,
and
hasten
me
to
those
matters
that
concern
the
Peace
.
Pope
Vrbane
inflam'd
with
a
paternal
affection
,
doth
with
the
Common-wealth
of
Venice
,
strive
to
quench
this
vast
Conflagration
of
Christendom
:
A
meeting
is
appointed
at
Cologne
,
lying
upon
the
Rhyne
,
whether
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
1637.
the
Commissioners
of
the
Emperour
and
King
of
Spain
came
.
Here
begins
the
Treaty
of
Peace
,
which
I
have
reserv'd
intire
for
this
Book
,
lest
being
scatter'd
by
pieces
through
the
whole
Work
,
it
might
check
the
Readers
Career
.
The
Swedes
rejected
the
K.
of
Denmark
,
nominated
for
a
Mediator
of
the
Peace
,
as
being
their
old
Rival
.
Therefore
the
French
,
as
Partisans
with
the
Swede
,
were
not
admitted
into
the
Treaty
at
Cologne
,
amidst
divers
preparations
eight
years
past
;
In
the
mean
time
Richelieu
dies
,
into
whose
place
Julius
Cardinal
Mazarine
being
substituted
,
would
have
compleated
the
Work
,
had
not
the
untimely
death
of
Lewis
put
a
stop
to
those
fair
beginnings
.
At
length
when
they
had
got
over
the
difficulties
of
the
Preliminary
Articles
(
that
term
was
then
invented
,
to
denote
the
first
preparatories
)
because
Cologne
dislik'd
the
French
,
and
the
Interposition
of
the
Cardinals
Ginetti
,
&
Rossetti
.
Munster
,
which
is
a
City
of
Westphalia
,
is
chosen
by
the
consent
of
all
,
as
the
place
of
Treaty
,
being
judg'd
convenient
,
since
upon
the
removal
of
the
Imperial
garrison
,
it
having
continu'd
a
Free
State
,
could
give
suspicion
to
none
.
Fabio
Chighi
a
Senese
,
the
Popes
Nuncio
at
Cologne
,
and
Aloysio
Contareni
,
a
Senator
of
Venice
,
both
of
them
men
of
great
Experience
,
are
by
general
consent
admitted
Mediators
.
The
Emperours
Commissioners
were
Lodowick
,
Count
of
Nassaw
,
and
Isaac
Volmar
Doctor
of
Law
.
Afterwards
Count
Transmendorff
was
super-added
,
a
Person
of
the
most
extraordinary
Abilities
in
Caesars
Commission
.
Claude
memmius
Avossie
,
and
Abel
Servient
appear'd
in
behalf
of
the
King
of
France
.
From
the
King
of
Spain
Count
Linneranda
,
with
whom
was
joyn'd
Anthony
Brown
,
a
Sequanis
,
who
with
his
two
Pages
in
a
slash'd
Suit
,
and
with
a
tatter'd
Coach
,
was
of
more
importance
to
the
Work
,
then
half
the
Meeting
besides
.
For
the
Swede
came
brave
men
,
John
Lord
Oxenstierne
,
and
John
Sauge
Osnabrugge
was
chosen
the
Seat
for
the
Protestants
,
that
they
might
not
mingle
with
the
Catholicks
.
From
the
States
of
Holland
,
Pauw
of
Amsterdam
,
and
Knute
the
Zelander
were
of
eminency
beyond
the
other
Commissioners
of
the
Provinces
.
Longuevil
of
the
Blood
Royal
,
Principal
of
the
Commission
,
being
added
to
Avossie
and
Servient
,
entring
Munster
with
a
train
like
an
Emperour
,
made
the
Assembly
and
City
gaze
upon
him
.
Pinneranda
a
few
days
after
enter'd
by
night
,
either
to
conceal
his
meaner
attendance
,
or
that
out
of
a
piece
of
Spanish
State
he
would
be
tarried
for
.
These
were
the
Prime
men
who
graced
the
Meeting
at
Munster
;
the
rest
were
but
as
Accessories
sent
by
their
respective
Soveraigns
;
whereupon
daily
there
arose
several
disputes
about
Place
:
The
most
remarkable
was
between
the
Venetians
and
the
seven
Electors
;
those
pleading
the
prescription
of
having
been
so
many
Ages
Free-States
,
do
scarcely
acknowledge
God
their
Soveraign
;
These
indeed
,
the
Emperours
Creators
,
do
presently
worship
their
Creature
.
The
Venetians
carried
the
precedency
,
as
in
the
Council
of
Trent
,
and
every
where
else
.
There
was
a
mighty
dispute
of
admitting
a
Commissioner
from
Portugal
,
which
the
Spaniards
in
vain
oppos'd
;
the
French
stoutly
maintain'd
him
.
It
is
strange
in
what
credit
the
French
were
,
by
reason
of
their
prosperous
successes
.
In
all
this
time
differences
grew
high
upon
specious
pretences
,
which
gave
fuel
to
great
animosities
.
Fabio
Chigi
,
one
of
a
mild
temper
,
did
diligently
remove
all
such
things
as
he
judg'd
might
obstruct
or
retard
the
business
of
Peace
;
watchful
on
all
particulars
,
disgusted
by
none
;
with
his
Humility
and
gentle
Carriage
,
did
oblige
the
respects
of
the
Grandees
.
Contareni
a
man
of
able
parts
,
but
passionate
,
proceeded
sometimes
with
more
violence
then
wariness
.
At
the
beginning
of
the
Conference
was
a
Requiem
for
the
deceas'd
Pope
Vrbane
;
news
being
brought
of
the
Election
of
Innocent
,
Te
Deum
was
Sung
;
And
when
the
Assembly
was
fully
met
,
the
beginning
was
made
at
good
Prayers
,
that
God
would
prosper
their
pious
Endeavours
for
putting
an
end
to
the
War
,
and
a
solemn
procession
perform'd
for
blessing
the
City
;
so
that
all
things
were
done
which
are
reputed
effectual
for
attoning
God
.
Never
was
it
prov'd
by
more
evident
Demonstration
,
that
God
who
is
the
Author
of
Peace
,
though
call'd
upon
after
the
due
Order
,
did
not
preside
in
that
Meeting
;
for
what
was
there
practic'd
in
it
but
Jugling
and
Sophistry
?
How
much
money
?
How
much
time
was
idly
thrown
away
?
How
many
Letters
writ
in
Cyphers
?
How
many
Decypher'd
?
What
insisting
upon
Punctilioes
?
So
that
the
Meeting
might
seem
not
to
have
been
held
about
the
Peace
of
Christendom
,
but
about
the
Place
of
Princes
:
Never
did
Assembly
more
gloriously
play
the
mad
Men
,
nor
upon
so
serious
an
occasion
,
were
more
egregious
Children
.
All
the
time
of
the
Assembly
,
nothing
was
more
absurd
,
then
the
quarrels
between
Avozzi
and
Servient
,
who
not
remitting
their
differences
for
the
Majesty
of
their
Countrey
,
nor
out
of
respect
to
their
Character
,
nor
the
good
of
the
Kingdom
,
through
frequent
contradictions
of
the
Council
,
though
well
advis'd
,
did
by
their
private
peevishness
destroy
whatever
Authority
they
had
;
Whereas
it
becomes
all
that
consult
about
matters
of
moment
,
to
be
unprejudic'd
with
any
affection
,
which
does
ill
qualifie
to
all
Administrations
.
How
undecent
is
it
for
men
joyn'd
in
the
highest
Power
for
the
Publick
,
to
be
divided
in
private
Animosities
?
In
the
first
place
,
this
is
to
be
laid
down
for
a
certain
truth
,
that
the
Spaniards
,
while
the
new
King
of
Portugal
claim'd
his
Right
;
while
the
Kingdom
of
Naples
waver'd
;
while
Catalaunia
stood
out
in
perfect
Rebellion
;
while
their
Treasury
was
not
sufficient
to
defray
the
War
,
and
their
Affairs
in
all
parts
distress'd
,
did
wholly
despair
of
obtaining
honourable
conditions
of
Peace
,
especially
the
French
,
being
puff'd
up
with
so
many
Successes
;
therefore
they
thought
they
must
flye
to
Policies
,
which
is
a
part
of
wisdom
.
Prevailing
upon
the
opportunities
in
France
,
where
the
minority
of
Kings
is
always
accompanied
with
publick
calamities
;
they
feed
unquiet
spirits
with
hope
of
Alterations
,
which
that
Nation
abundantly
produces
;
but
their
principal
care
is
to
separate
their
Confederates
and
Allies
.
The
Swedes
,
they
attaque
by
the
Emperour
,
who
makes
them
large
proffers
,
so
they
would
but
quit
the
French
Interest
.
The
Hollanders
,
they
practise
colourably
with
an
offer
of
undoubted
Liberty
,
freedom
of
Navigation
,
and
a
quiet
possession
of
all
that
they
had
already
acquir'd
.
The
Swedes
held
firmly
to
their
Principle
,
and
the
Emperours
Arts
could
make
no
impression
upon
a
Nation
,
always
stuck
to
their
Honour
and
Word
.
The
case
of
Holland
was
greatly
debated
,
not
only
in
the
Provinces
,
but
in
Holland
it self
;
several
Cities
stood
severally
affected
,
nor
within
the
Cities
were
all
of
one
judgment
;
but
every
one
led
by
the
impulse
of
his
proper
Interest
,
the
most
cogent
Argument
.
The
French
Commissioners
,
before
they
came
to
Munster
,
stay'd
some
time
at
the
Hague
,
to
pry
into
whatever
weak
side
,
or
unsound
part
should
appear
,
especially
the
mind
of
Orange
,
whose
Wife
was
tax'd
to
be
engaged
.
The
Prince
now
stricken
in
years
,
and
broken
with
Military
Labours
,
having
but
one
Son
,
and
he
not
yet
compleat
Man
,
thought
it
safe
,
after
so
many
gallant
Services
to
sound
a
Retreat
.
Most
of
the
more
discreet
discours'd
thus
,
that
the
Charge
could
no
longer
be
supported
;
nor
could
the
War
be
carried
on
with
any
fair
hope
;
nothing
came
by
it
but
Damages
;
that
there
was
no
necessity
of
it
,
and
it
might
be
justly
feared
,
least
the
Common-People
should
take
distaste
at
their
Governours
,
and
deny
the
payment
of
Taxes
.
Therefore
that
they
should
hearken
to
a
Truce
,
or
rather
a
Peace
;
Provided
that
their
Liberty
might
be
not
upon
condition
,
or
for
a
time
,
but
absolutely
and
for
ever
preserved
entire
.
Others
on
the
contrary
,
that
Peace
was
not
desired
by
the
Spaniard
,
but
the
having
War
at
his
own
,
rather
then
his
Confederates
most
convenient
time
;
or
what
is
worse
then
War
,
the
vexing
of
their
State
by
Divisions
,
and
corrupting
them
;
till
the
strength
of
their
old
Souldiers
be
worn
off
.
At
length
they
concluded
,
that
at
least
no
agreement
should
be
admitted
without
the
privity
,
and
in
a
sort
the
Warranty
of
the
French
.
These
Discoursces
passed
at
the
Hague
,
and
all
over
the
Low-Countries
,
when
the
Mediators
at
Munster
,
by
their
Prudential
Addresses
,
sustained
hopes
of
the
Peace
;
and
the
Commissioners
of
the
Kings
to
the
frustrating
one
another
,
spun
out
time
in
starting
new
exceptions
.
All
the
Assembly
no
longer
able
with
any
patience
to
put
up
such
prejudicial
delays
,
resolved
by
any
means
to
determine
the
Treaty
.
Seeing
for
so
long
time
nothing
was
got
but
words
of
an
ambiguous
importance
,
and
such
as
every
party
interpreted
at
their
pleasure
,
according
to
the
daily
success
of
Army
.
The
French
in
their
first
Memorial
,
require
before
any
thing
,
that
the
Archbishop
of
Tryers
,
the
occasion
of
the
War
,
be
set
at
Liberty
;
that
all
the
Allies
be
satisfied
,
and
the
possession
of
the
conquered
places
remain
.
The
Commissioners
of
the
Emperour
reply
,
As
to
the
Tryers
,
the
Emperour
is
not
âârse
,
but
he
will
never
digest
that
his
Subjects
should
be
equalled
with
him
.
The
Spaniards
contended
,
that
all
be
restored
to
them
as
was
at
Camââay
and
Vervin
;
that
the
Duke
of
Braganza
be
not
included
in
the
Agreement
,
as
being
a
Rebel
and
an
ââjust
Vsurper
.
In
the
mean
time
a
War
breaking
out
between
the
Swede
and
Dane
,
not
so
much
for
the
customs
of
the
Baltick
Sound
,
as
that
out
of
pretence
of
Hostility
the
Dane
might
be
excluded
from
the
whole
Treaty
.
In
these
matters
,
eight
months
pass
away
without
any
result
at
Munster
.
The
swedish
and
Danish
differences
being
composed
by
Thuillerte
the
French
Embassadour
,
the
Treaty
proceeds
a
fresh
.
The
Emperour
releaseth
,
and
restores
Tryers
,
leaving
Flesburgh
to
be
in
the
French
possession
,
as
it
afterward
remained
.
In
the
mean
time
the
French
seize
on
the
Sea-coast
of
Flanders
,
and
the
Town
of
Dunkirk
;
upon
which
the
French
greatness
began
to
be
suspected
by
the
united
Provinces
,
and
they
began
seriously
to
treat
about
separating
from
their
Alliance
,
which
Mazarine
was
aware
of
;
thereupon
it
was
thought
fit
to
dispatch
away
Servient
to
the
States
staggering
.
Avozzi
as
he
passed
by
,
according
to
his
devoutness
,
had
dropt
some
intimations
of
advice
at
the
Hague
about
tolerating
the
Catholick
Profession
.
That
they
should
do
this
truly
for
their
Kindreds
sake
,
they
should
do
it
for
the
memory
of
their
Ancestors
,
not
to
hate
the
Religion
which
they
had
approved
more
cruelly
than
the
Tenents
of
the
Anabaptists
that
are
new
and
destructive
to
Government
,
who
are
tolerated
among
the
Hollanders
while
the
Catholicks
are
excluded
.
This
puzzled
them
that
are
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
.
Servient
was
judged
more
fit
for
the
Embassie
,
and
he
discharged
it
worthily
.
At
the
Hague
he
made
an
eloquent
Speech
,
as
he
had
an
excellent
Understanding
and
Utterance
.
At
last
,
saith
he
,
the
Arts
that
your
Ancestors
feared
are
broke
out
.
And
have
you
forgot
the
Courage
of
your
Fathers
,
who
avoided
the
Embassies
of
Kings
for
Peace
,
not
as
the
Councils
of
Friends
,
but
as
the
Plots
of
Enemies
?
If
there
be
no
deceit
in
the
bottom
,
why
doth
not
Pinneranda
deal
above
board
?
That
which
is
honest
and
fair
needs
no
Arts
to
disguise
it
.
Softness
in
a
warlike
Nation
is
over-hasty
.
It
is
suspicious
to
have
Liberty
offered
by
a
King
not
conquered
,
and
to
have
it
secured
by
the
Confession
of
a
Prince
disclaimed
.
Although
ye
do
obtain
it
by
force
of
Arms
,
yet
the
receiving
it
of
the
Spaniard
is
the
first
way
to
slavery
.
That
Philip
was
never
so
self-denying
as
to
throw
away
his
just
Government
,
but
doth
allow
the
Dutch
the
short
respit
of
a
temporary
Liberty
.
That
Kings
gather
strength
by
delay
:
When
the
hatred
is
worn
away
,
and
past
injuries
forgot
that
people
return
to
their
Allegiance
.
In
Peace
the
vices
that
accompany
security
are
to
be
feared
.
When
your
Arms
are
laid
down
,
you
shall
never
be
at
Peace
;
you
have
no
ground
to
fear
the
sad
misfortunes
of
being
surprised
.
So
many
fortified
Towns
;
so
many
Men
of
War
;
such
strength
of
Horse
and
Foot
trained
for
the
Field
.
The
Ocean
drawn
about
you
,
and
the
Valour
of
your
most
excellent
General
(
he
pointed
at
Orange
there
present
)
will
defend
you
,
and
what
is
more
,
the
joynt
Arms
of
my
Master
,
who
stands
not
in
such
need
of
you
,
as
to
assist
those
that
slight
his
Counsel
.
This
Advice
comes
to
you
from
a
Friend
,
from
your
first
Confederate
,
from
a
provident
King
,
whose
only
Interest
is
your
safety
.
I
do
not
engage
you
to
eternize
the
War
.
I
cry
after
Peace
,
but
such
a
one
whose
Issue
may
be
secure
by
the
French
Warranty
,
and
that
there
is
need
of
joyning
Councils
to
that
effect
.
It
is
strange
with
what
heats
the
Proposition
was
debated
in
all
the
States
.
Sometimes
even
Mazarine
was
not
spared
,
as
though
he
had
secret
hopes
of
future
advantages
by
the
miseries
of
the
suited
Allies
.
Some
Emissaries
came
secretly
from
Panneranda
to
the
Hague
to
set
out
all
Secrets
,
which
was
not
unknown
to
Servient
.
Wherefore
,
saith
he
,
do
there
come
Spies
but
to
search
if
there
be
any
evenue
open
for
deceit
and
money
to
enter
in
at
?
Servient
whether
by
his
Eloquence
,
or
his
Reasons
obtained
this
,
that
neither
Party
,
without
the
consent
of
the
other
,
should
capitulate
with
the
Spaniard
the
common
Enemy
.
He
returned
to
Munster
,
after
he
had
brought
the
Provinces
to
be
of
one
mind
,
which
was
to
his
credit
.
Mazarine
always
suspected
some
false
trick
from
the
Hollanders
,
nor
did
the
issue
deceive
him
;
the
French
grew
more
and
more
hateful
,
whose
Arms
prevailed
to
the
destruction
of
the
Spaniards
.
Debates
hung
undetermined
at
Munster
.
All
things
proceeded
slowly
.
Before
former
Propositions
were
dispatched
,
new
Pretensions
are
set
on
foot
,
nor
could
difficulties
easily
be
solved
:
the
Commissioners
of
the
lesser
Princes
murmured
,
and
did
not
conceal
it
,
that
they
would
not
be
the
Spectators
of
that
Comedy
,
whose
whole
Scene
was
laid
at
Paris
and
Madrid
.
The
Spaniards
ordered
their
proceeding
so
dextrously
,
that
none
did
otherwise
but
impute
a
Cessation
of
Hostility
to
them
,
and
a
desire
of
continuing
the
War
to
us
;
and
as
the
beginning
of
the
Troubles
was
charged
upon
Richlieu
,
so
the
obstruction
of
Peace
was
upon
Mazarine
,
who
loved
to
tread
safe
,
and
consequently
slow
.
From
the
very
first
he
foresaw
that
Peace
could
not
be
had
from
the
Spaniard
,
without
extorting
it
by
force
of
Arms
,
and
therefore
he
must
propagate
both
intestine
and
foreign
Wars
,
that
so
France
becoming
victorious
in
all
Parts
,
might
prescribe
Laws
of
Peace
.
At
Munster
after
divers
Proposals
without
any
effect
,
at
length
this
Project
was
broached
as
conclusive
,
which
by
the
Mediators
was
offered
to
our
Commissioners
;
That
the
King
of
Spain
in
favour
to
the
most
desired
Peace
,
doth
quit
to
the
King
of
France
the
County
of
Russillon
,
the
perpetual
possession
of
the
conquered
Towns
in
Flanders
and
Franche
Comte
,
so
that
Portugal
may
be
left
to
the
Spanish
Vengeance
.
That
the
Duke
of
Lorraine
be
satisfied
,
and
what
places
in
the
Territories
of
the
Dukes
of
Savoy
and
Mantua
have
been
taken
by
both
Kings
,
may
be
respectively
restored
to
their
proper
Lord
.
For
âher
matters
in
Italy
he
promised
to
stand
to
the
award
of
the
Pope
and
Republick
of
Venice
.
The
controverted
pretensions
of
the
Emperour
,
and
the
Dependencies
on
the
Empire
to
be
reserved
to
the
Agreement
of
the
Meeting
at
Osnabrug
.
Thus
far
Penrâanda
,
but
with
an
intention
of
picking
quarrels
,
and
only
for
a
blind
to
deliver
the
Spaniards
from
the
Odium
of
the
War
,
and
to
discharge
it
wholly
upon
the
French
,
by
that
means
giving
our
Allies
and
Confederates
an
occasion
to
fall
off
from
us
.
Then
there
went
abroad
a
Rumor
,
that
the
Peace
was
concluded
,
not
at
Munster
only
,
but
in
the
Neighbourhood
;
and
thence
into
remote
parts
.
The
Mediators
come
with
joy
to
Longuevilles
house
.
One
might
have
seen
their
faces
shine
with
a
sudden
lightsomness
.
Chighi
in
a
manner
prostrating
himself
before
Longueville
,
begs
and
intreats
him
,
That
now
matters
were
in
a
posture
more
promising
than
could
have
been
hoped
for
,
he
would
content
himself
,
and
that
he
with
his
Fellow-Commissioners
would
not
insist
too
strictly
upon
Niceties
;
then
shewing
him
a
Pen
,
Take
that
and
sign
:
This
Pen
will
bring
you
more
Glory
than
that
Sword
of
your
great
Grandfather
of
Downs
,
wherewith
he
chased
the
English
out
of
France
,
and
freed
his
Country
from
oppression
.
Penneranda
indeed
had
in
a
Vapour
offered
these
specious
,
but
insidious
Proposals
.
The
French
answer
,
that
many
things
which
they
had
already
agreed
upon
were
omitted
;
as
first
of
Braganza
,
whether
King
or
Usurper
of
Portugal
,
that
all
mention
should
be
waved
;
Lorraine
should
be
restored
,
but
not
fully
;
he
that
had
so
often
violated
his
Covenant
,
should
for
a
penalty
lose
some
part
of
his
Dominion
,
at
least
the
towring
Fortifications
of
Nancey
be
dismantled
,
that
so
being
disabled
from
twice
doing
mischief
,
he
might
for
the
future
learn
to
demean
himself
with
more
moderation
;
that
Duarte
of
Braganza
should
be
enlarged
,
which
the
French
maintained
,
had
been
already
discussed
,
but
Peâneranda
had
omitted
and
formalized
upon
,
as
though
they
were
newly
set
on
foot
.
Here
the
proceeding
stopped
.
Mazarine
having
commended
the
prudence
of
the
Commissioners
,
exhorted
them
to
bend
their
whole
cares
upon
the
Swede
and
Hollander
,
that
it
was
hot
likely
Penneranda
would
insist
so
much
upon
formalities
unless
he
were
secure
of
them
.
Whilst
these
things
were
under
debate
the
year
1648.
passed
on
,
when
in
the
mouth
of
September
the
French
Ambassadors
declared
that
they
had
it
in
their
last
Instructions
,
that
they
should
no
longer
dwell
upon
the
matter
,
unless
the
Article
about
Lorraine
proceeded
in
form
,
as
hath
been
above-mentioned
.
The
Hollanders
impatient
for
Peace
,
looking
upon
the
French
successes
with
a
jealous
eye
,
and
thinking
that
the
present
opportunity
was
to
be
laid
hold
upon
without
advice
of
the
French
,
without
advice
of
the
Mediators
,
conclude
with
Penneranda
;
so
it
was
believed
.
The
French
not
well
digesting
that
,
sent
to
the
Hague
to
complain
of
it
.
So
far
was
this
from
obtaining
any
thing
in
favour
of
the
French
friendship
,
as
that
the
Truce
was
turned
into
a
perpetual
Peace
,
reserving
their
Commerce
and
the
continuance
of
what
they
were
in
possession
of
.
Pauw
the
Commissioner
of
Amsterdam
,
supported
the
whole
weight
of
the
Pacification
against
the
other
six
Provinces
.
ââute
the
Zelander
contributed
his
diligent
assistance
to
that
also
.
Thus
the
Hollanders
,
having
for
so
many
years
been
supported
by
the
French
Forces
,
Counsels
,
many
joyned
in
a
league
of
Amity
with
the
Spaniards
,
their
Enemies
.
So
far
have
we
been
from
suffering
any
prejudice
by
it
,
that
it
hath
rather
turned
to
our
great
Glory
;
Allies
joyned
without
the
Arms
of
any
,
the
Spaniards
having
been
brought
to
terms
of
Peace
;
glorious
for
us
without
,
&c.
Thus
the
Commissioners
having
been
baffled
after
so
many
expedients
,
in
vain
attempted
the
Assembly
,
most
famous
next
after
that
of
Trent
,
for
such
a
resort
of
Nations
was
dissolved
without
any
effect
.
At
Osnaburgh
,
almost
at
the
same
time
,
was
the
Agreement
of
the
German
Peace
concluded
,
without
the
intervention
of
the
Spaniards
.
By
that
Provision
the
Swedes
honourably
endeavouring
to
gain
the
French
assent
to
the
Capitulations
,
the
Princes
and
Free-States
of
the
Empire
were
principally
satisfied
in
this
,
that
they
might
freely
serve
God
according
to
their
Conscience
;
that
is
,
a
toleration
of
performing
Divine
Service
after
their
own
way
.
This
so
fretted
Chighi
the
Nuncio
,
that
he
tore
the
Papers
about
the
Peace
,
and
swore
he
would
hear
no
farther
;
the
Swedes
got
the
hither
Pomerania
,
with
other
adjoyning
places
.
The
Savarian
had
his
Territory
enlarged
,
by
an
accession
of
the
Upper
Palatinate
.
To
our
share
fell
Alsatia
,
with
some
Dependants
,
the
payment
of
a
certain
sum
of
Money
being
assigned
in
consideration
of
Damages
,
to
repair
the
house
of
Austria
.
An
equal
and
fair
regard
was
also
had
of
the
Swedes
.
At
the
end
of
the
whole
work
are
to
be
subjoyned
the
Articles
of
Munster
,
agreed
at
Osnabrug
,
land
at
length
eompleated
and
concluded
in
the
Isle
of
Phesants
,
at
that
absolute
Peace
,
which
at
this
day
is
in
full
force
and
power
;
and
that
it
might
always
so
continue
,
I
could
wish
.
Thus
shall
I
not
be
charged
with
negligence
,
if
I
go
off
from
these
matters
which
loath
me
,
and
would
nauseate
others
;
in
like
manner
as
the
Wars
of
Pisa
in
Guicciardine
,
that
have
blemished
that
Work
,
otherwise
excellent
.
Divers
were
the
Rumours
over
Europe
,
of
the
frustrating
their
General
expectation
of
Peace
,
some
casting
the
blame
upon
the
French
,
others
upon
the
Spaniard
.
Thereupon
came
out
Libels
,
incentives
of
Discord
;
but
who
were
the
occasion
that
the
business
of
the
Peace
was
not
setled
at
Munster
,
would
require
more
volumes
then
one
to
relate
.
I
am
assured
by
the
Letters
of
Longueville
to
to
Mazarine
,
that
the
Spaniards
by
their
backwardness
,
still
aim'd
at
excepting
against
some
particulars
,
that
so
they
might
the
more
easily
after
their
concludeing
of
Peace
with
the
Hollanders
,
disappoint
the
hopes
of
the
French
.
And
when
Mazarine
fearing
lest
the
French
Ministers
being
tyed
up
too
close
to
the
Royal
Instructions
,
might
not
be
able
to
resolve
extempore
difficulties
that
were
moved
,
did
by
frequent
Letters
enquire
of
Longueville
,
whether
any
thing
more
were
to
be
remitted
of
the
Kings
right
,
that
he
might
have
full
Authority
to
transact
,
that
Longueville
answered
to
it
,
that
the
Spaniards
were
averse
from
all
accommodation
,
and
only
strived
to
seperate
from
the
French
their
Allies
.
This
I
can
easily
prove
by
the
Originals
that
I
have
several
times
read
.
Afterwards
when
France
was
in
flames
with
the
Civil
War
,
the
King
of
spain
candidly
discovered
to
an
understanding
man
the
Embassadour
,
of
a
most
powerful
Prince
,
that
Penneranda
would
be
induced
by
no
Instructions
to
hearken
to
Peace
,
and
still
found
out
new
pretences
;
that
he
might
not
be
forced
to
conclude
it
,
but
that
the
event
had
proved
it
to
have
been
wisely
done
by
him
,
seeing
that
within
four
years
the
fairest
Cities
had
been
re-taken
by
the
French
divisions
,
which
must
have
been
quitted
by
the
Agreement
at
Munster
.
Mazarine
,
amidst
the
Civil
Dissentions
,
left
no
means
unassayed
to
revive
the
Treaty
of
Peace
.
Contareni
at
his
intreaty
attended
upon
fetching
about
the
business
,
and
came
to
the
particular
of
chusing
a
fit
place
,
fit
for
the
Meeting
upon
the
Frontiers
of
France
and
Flanders
.
Penneranda
slighted
all
such
motions
,
being
not
backward
to
make
his
advantages
of
the
disturbances
in
France
.
For
,
said
he
,
If
when
the
French
prospered
in
the
first
times
of
their
Kings
Minority
,
my
Master
was
averse
from
Peace
;
wherefore
in
the
height
of
their
Civil
War
should
he
receive
dishonourable
Conditions
.
At
length
Vautorce
is
sent
to
Brussels
;
Penneranda
unbosometh
himself
to
him
;
He
could
never
find
in
his
heart
to
subscribe
those
celebrated
,
conditions
at
Munster
,
although
he
seemed
to
give
his
assent
to
them
;
they
were
so
unreasonable
,
that
no
true
Spaniard
,
who
had
any
love
for
his
Country
,
but
would
scorn
them
;
And
if
the
sottishness
of
those
that
live
at
this
day
,
had
proceeded
so
far
,
as
to
have
accepted
that
Agreement
,
there
would
have
risen
out
of
their
Bones
,
such
as
should
disanul
the
Munster-League
.
The
last
Essay
was
by
Lyonne
,
who
being
at
Cambray
,
used
all
possible
means
to
induce
Penneranda
to
a
Treaty
;
but
the
endeavours
or
Lyonne
proved
ineffectual
,
Penneranda
standing
unmovable
to
the
point
of
reclaiming
all
that
had
been
taken
from
them
,
who
went
afterwards
into
Spain
,
and
gave
an
account
of
his
Ministry
.
Upon
the
whole
matter
the
Counsel
of
Spain
was
divided
;
Penneranda
,
whether
he
thought
so
,
or
to
maintain
the
credit
of
this
performance
of
that
Trust
,
in
the
presence
of
the
King
,
before
that
Honourable
Board
affirms
;
that
Mazarine
neither
was
willing
to
have
Peace
,
nor
was
there
reason
he
should
be
willing
.
Divers
Arguments
he
brought
to
confirm
his
Position
.
Fuensaldagne
,
even
in
his
absence
asserted
the
contrary
by
Letter
,
that
it
was
Mazarines
interest
to
have
Peace
.
Don
Lewis
de
Haro
was
at
uncertainty
which
to
believe
;
so
did
the
two
opposite
Judgments
leave
the
King
of
Spain
dissatisfied
.
In
the
mean
time
Pope
Innocent
dyes
,
Cardinal
Fabio
Chighi
,
so
often
mentioned
by
us
,
is
elected
his
Successor
;
he
took
the
name
of
Alexander
VII
.
and
this
was
done
not
by
a
nice
scanning
of
Politick
Circumstances
,
but
run
off
in
a
heat
.
At
the
Consecration
of
the
new
Pope
,
the
Christian
World
rejoyced
,
for
having
such
a
person
given
them
in
these
Storms
and
Troubles
;
nor
was
it
without
cause
,
for
the
high
reputation
of
Chighi
was
already
so
far
advanced
,
that
the
Votes
of
the
Conclave
,
indeed
,
conferred
upon
him
this
pitch
of
Honour
;
but
the
wishes
of
all
men
designed
it
.
A
rare
felicity
to
possess
dignity
by
the
general
Judgment
,
before
one
is
distinguished
by
the
Mitre
;
and
to
be
reputed
Bishop
,
not
yet
to
be
.
Mazarine
believed
there
was
certain
expectation
of
Peace
from
him
.
Lyonne
was
present
at
the
declaring
Alexander
Pope
:
to
whom
immediately
minding
him
of
the
Peace
,
the
new
Pope
offered
it
might
be
transacted
Rome
more
conveniently
than
any
where
else
in
the
World
:
he
answered
,
that
appreared
improper
,
both
because
of
the
Territories
which
the
Spaniard
possesseth
in
Italy
;
and
also
for
the
Kingdom
of
Naples
confining
upon
Rome
:
but
that
some
place
would
be
found
upon
the
Borders
of
Genona
,
whither
the
Prime
Ministers
of
both
Kings
might
come
with
full
power
of
concluding
the
Peace
,
so
that
his
Holiness
would
be
present
to
mediate
in
it
.
All
ways
having
been
vainly
tried
to
bring
the
matter
already
begun
to
an
issue
.
Mazarine
resolved
to
try
the
minds
of
the
Spaniards
by
a
new
and
unheard
of
method
,
which
now
France
was
in
a
most
flourishing
estate
,
could
not
be
imputed
to
Cowardise
:
the
sending
of
an
Embassadour
,
I
mean
,
to
the
Enemies
,
to
invite
them
not
only
to
honourable
,
but
also
profitable
conditions
of
Peace
.
Such
an
occasion
offered
it self
to
put
in
execution
the
design
which
the
Cardinal
had
purposed
in
his
thought
.
In
the
year
1656.
Gaspar
Boniface
passing
from
the
Low-Countries
into
Spain
through
France
,
as
he
kneeled
to
kiss
the
Queens
hand
before
he
parted
,
he
freely
declared
to
her
Majesty
,
how
passionately
the
King
of
Spain
was
desirous
of
Peace
,
and
did
not
conceal
what
serious
thoughts
he
had
of
concluding
it
upon
equal
conditions
,
so
that
some
trusty
person
might
be
sent
to
Madrid
with
full
power
.
Mazarine
was
not
long
in
debate
with
himself
to
whose
fidelity
he
should
commit
the
Trust
.
For
any
one
,
besides
Lyonne
,
to
be
admitted
into
a
secret
of
the
highest
importance
,
was
thought
unsafe
.
Therefore
having
occasion
to
imploy
him
,
he
remands
him
from
Rome
,
a
person
there
,
whom
there
was
none
fitter
.
Lyonne
is
of
an
Ancient
Family
in
Dauphinois
;
by
being
from
his
first
youth
trained
up
at
Court
,
an
intimate
Confident
of
Mazarines
,
and
imployed
in
divers
Embassies
;
he
is
grown
perfect
in
the
Government
;
of
a
reserved
temper
,
close
in
keeping
secrets
;
commanding
respect
,
rather
by
sparingness
of
Language
,
then
multitudes
of
Complements
.
Apt
to
assume
nothing
to
himself
,
though
by
his
happy
Successes
he
have
acquired
praise
and
glory
.
No
Soul
more
abhorring
Covetousness
and
Cruelty
:
Being
qualified
with
these
endowments
,
he
is
employed
in
so
great
a
business
,
not
only
of
running
over
the
first
draught
of
a
project
of
Peace
,
remitting
the
conclusion
till
another
time
;
but
if
upon
any
reasonable
terms
the
War
might
be
composed
,
within
eight
days
finally
to
determine
and
to
publish
the
Agreement
.
No
single
Person
had
so
honourable
a
power
granted
him
,
which
his
Majesty
wrote
all
over
with
his
own
hand
,
and
signed
it
,
his
four
Secretaries
of
his
Cabinet
not
being
made
acquainted
.
The
words
of
the
Instrument
I
thought
fit
to
be
inserted
here
,
as
being
the
Basis
on
which
the
Peace
that
was
so
long
in
Agitation
without
effect
,
is
planted
.
I
give
this
Lyonne
,
one
of
my
Privy-Counsellours
,
power
to
make
,
conclude
,
and
sign
Articles
of
Peace
between
me
,
and
the
Catholick
King
,
my
Brother
and
Vncle
;
And
by
vertue
of
this
Commission
,
whatsoever
things
the
above-said
Lyonne
shall
grant
in
my
name
,
I
engage
,
and
in
the
word
of
a
King
,
promise
that
I
will
allow
,
ratifie
,
and
observe
.
Dated
at
Compeigne
,
Jun.
1.
1656.
Which
Instrument
,
when
the
King
had
written
in
Mazarines
Chamber
,
and
signed
,
he
delivered
,
it
Lyonne
,
in
the
presence
of
a
Grandee
of
Spain
,
whom
he
spoke
to
in
these
words
of
great
weight
and
moment
.
Certifie
the
King
your
Master
,
that
this
Lyonne
whom
you
see
here
,
is
chosen
by
me
,
my
Plenipotentiary
to
adjust
a
Peace
;
and
that
nothing
is
more
desirable
to
me
,
then
that
it
he
most
speedily
concluded
,
that
I
may
give
proofs
of
my
Respects
to
the
King
my
Vncle
.
The
Spaniard
shedding
plenty
of
Tears
,
fell
down
at
his
Majesties
feet
,
and
answered
,
he
would
immediately
obey
the
commands
of
so
great
a
King
.
Lyonne
had
not
to
seek
for
some
occasion
of
going
abroad
to
be
given
out
;
he
entred
upon
the
journey
,
guarded
by
his
own
worth
and
the
strength
of
the
Kingdom
;
having
changed
his
cloaths
,
lest
he
should
be
known
by
his
own
,
going
upon
a
secret
occasion
;
and
was
disguised
in
a
Perruque
,
and
the
habit
of
a
Merchant
.
In
such
a
Garb
,
incognito
,
he
presented
himself
on
the
20
of
June
,
the
day
appointed
,
at
the
roots
of
the
Syrenean
,
in
the
border
of
both
Kingdoms
,
every
where
with
profound
silecnce
,
as
is
his
wont
,
he
acted
his
part
;
joyning
in
company
with
a
Spanish
Cavalliero
that
stayed
for
him
;
he
came
safe
to
Madrid
.
None
enquired
after
the
occasion
of
his
coming
,
nor
was
his
Face
so
much
as
looked
upon
by
any
to
observe
it
.
Coaches
are
sent
to
meet
him
,
and
he
is
conveyed
secretly
into
the
Escurial
,
where
he
kept
close
three
months
with
Don
Lewis
de
Haro
,
to
whom
the
King
of
Spain
had
given
a
like
Commission
.
He
happily
comes
to
a
determination
upon
the
points
in
Controversie
,
and
had
well-nigh
been
famed
for
the
concluding
of
the
Peace
,
before
any
one
had
heard
that
it
was
in
agitation
;
all
things
were
carried
with
such
Prudence
and
Silence
.
What
were
the
principal
Articles
of
the
Agreement
,
I
have
not
thought
fit
to
specifie
here
,
intending
to
put
the
entire
Treaty
at
the
end
of
the
Work
,
as
hath
been
above-mentioned
.
Upon
Conde's
business
,
the
diligence
of
Lyonne
was
non-plus'd
.
The
Spaniards
were
not
content
,
that
so
great
an
Exile
should
obtain
pardon
of
what
was
past
,
recover
his
Estate
,
enjoy
that
,
and
the
Kings
Favour
;
All
which
Lyonne
promised
;
but
they
further
press
,
that
he
may
be
restored
to
his
Governments
and
Ancient
Charges
;
as
though
he
had
rebelled
upon
even
terms
,
and
insist
upon
it
so
stiffly
,
that
they
would
prefer
eternal
War
before
Peace
,
so
as
to
suffer
themselves
to
be
removed
from
that
Proposal
,
because
it
seems
they
would
have
this
Maxime
imprinted
in
the
hearts
of
the
French
.
In
whatsoever
condition
the
State
of
the
Spaniards
is
,
they
never
come
to
suffer
any
prejudice
who
espouse
their
Interest
.
Lyonne
was
troubled
that
this
Prize
should
be
torn
out
of
his
hand
;
not
unlike
a
tender
Mother
,
who
seeing
her
grown
Babe
killed
by
mischance
or
overlaid
,
mourns
,
and
cannot
be
comforted
.
A
few
days
before
he
took
his
leave
of
Haro
,
he
urges
twenty
times
that
he
would
but
suffer
these
three
words
;
Besides
his
Charges
and
Governments
to
be
inserted
into
the
Articles
already
agreed
upon
,
and
immediately
there
would
be
an
end
of
so
many
miseries
,
and
the
Sun-shine
of
Peace
would
break
forth
and
shine
every
where
.
Haro
denies
that
this
can
be
obtained
of
his
Master
,
and
after
that
Lyonne
was
dismissed
,
so
great
Secrets
having
been
a
long
time
supprest
among
us
,
the
Spaniards
disguising
the
truth
,
gave
abroad
that
Mazarine
,
both
at
Munster
and
Madrid
,
always
deluded
the
French
Ministers
,
and
that
he
reserved
himself
the
glory
of
the
Peace
,
is
not
to
be
questioned
.
He
who
thinks
otherwise
is
ignorant
both
of
Mazarine
and
the
French
State
,
and
through
envy
suppresseth
truth
.
The
Electors
of
Mentz
and
Cologne
,
having
met
at
Franckfurt
to
treat
about
the
Election
of
the
Emperour
,
took
hold
upon
that
occasion
,
and
excited
the
Ambassadors
of
both
Kings
to
revive
the
Treaty
of
Peace
so
far
advanced
.
Penneranda
spum
out
ten
months
in
expecting
his
Masters
Instructions
;
this
space
being
expired
,
he
deluded
the
endeavours
of
the
Electors
by
repeating
the
Propositions
so
often
rejected
,
and
threatning
;
If
any
Ambassadors
were
sent
from
the
Electors
to
his
Master
,
he
would
do
his
endeavour
to
have
them
turned
out
of
Madrid
with
disgrace
,
and
not
so
much
as
a
Bark
be
allowed
them
to
lodge
in
.
That
in
the
first
place
without
any
Controversie
,
what
the
French
held
by
Conquest
they
should
restore
;
they
must
quit
all
Lorraine
,
must
abandon
Braganza
,
must
restore
Conde
to
his
former
Dignities
,
till
he
was
ascertained
that
the
French
had
consented
to
these
Conditions
,
he
would
not
so
must
as
come
to
treat
.
Whilst
Penneranda
talks
at
this
rate
without
end
,
we
are
come
to
the
year
1659.
in
which
at
last
the
Peace
was
concluded
.
About
the
end
of
the
former
year
1658.
the
King
comes
through
Burgundy
,
that
was
in
some
disorder
to
Lyons
,
whither
came
also
Christina
the
gallant
off-spring
of
Henry
IV.
Dutchess
of
Savoy
,
with
her
Daughter
Margaret
,
who
was
given
out
by
report
the
Person
that
was
to
be
espoused
to
the
King
.
Both
of
them
were
entertained
so
affectionately
,
and
so
honourably
,
as
more
cannot
be
imagined
.
Hither
too
hastens
at
a
great
rate
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
a
Prince
of
a
comely
Personage
,
and
in
the
flower
of
his
Youth
.
Vigorous
Nature
shewed
the
Stock
from
whence
he
sprung
,
being
so
strong
,
that
he
presently
raised
an
admiration
in
the
minds
of
all
that
saw
him
.
Now
was
the
King
supposed
to
court
Margaret
as
his
future
Wife
;
when
all
on
the
sudden
Pememelli
rides
poste
from
Spain
to
Villâfranca
in
such
haste
,
that
he
would
not
so
much
as
to
stay
for
a
Pass
.
After
secret
Conferences
between
Lyonne
and
Pementelli
,
Pementelli
introduced
to
Mazarine
,
reveals
the
mind
of
his
Master
about
the
Peace
,
as
Lyonne
had
concluded
it
at
Madrid
,
and
that
about
the
Marriage
of
the
Infanta
of
Spain
with
our
King
,
he
might
decently
insinuate
the
matter
,
he
pretended
that
Lyonne
had
already
intimated
it
to
Duke
Lewis
de
Haro
,
although
Lyonne
had
occasionally
hinted
the
matter
,
not
by
Instruction
from
the
King
,
but
of
his
own
head
.
Mazarine
being
troubled
for
the
Savoy
Lady
,
who
having
passed
the
craggy
Alps
,
and
steep
Ways
in
intolerable
Weather
would
be
thought
to
have
been
mocked
,
resolves
to
reveal
to
her
the
whole
Intrigue
.
The
Savoyard
ill
dissembling
his
resentment
of
the
slur
put
upon
his
Sister
,
flung
away
from
Court
rather
then
departed
.
The
Mother
impatient
,
stung
with
vexation
presently
after
that
her
Son
was
gone
very
early
in
the
morning
,
went
and
lamented
to
Mazarine
.
What
shall
I
do
,
deluded
Woman
?
Shall
I
go
and
sue
after
the
Matches
,
which
I
have
already
slighted
,
having
been
inveigled
with
a
pretended
Marriage
?
Mazarine
pacifieth
her
with
that
smoothness
of
Language
at
which
he
was
excellent
.
That
nothing
should
proceed
but
to
the
Common
Good
.
Matters
were
at
that
pass
between
the
Kings
of
France
and
Spain
,
that
upon
certain
Judgment
there
was
apparent
hope
of
Peace
and
Alliance
,
her
Highness
was
of
so
noble
a
Spirit
as
to
prefer
the
publick
before
her
private
advantage
.
If
the
Spanish
Proposition
took
not
effect
,
he
would
do
his
endeavour
that
she
should
never
repent
of
her
Journey
and
the
trouble
that
she
had
undertaken
:
which
he
promised
to
procure
her
under
the
Kings
Hand
.
Christiern
,
whether
she
believed
what
he
said
,
or
thought
it
to
her
credit
to
be
deceived
,
in
a
desperate
case
,
acquiesced
to
Mazarines
Answer
,
and
went
away
with
Margaret
,
embracing
instead
of
a
King
for
her
Husband
,
his
Note
.
This
was
the
precise
sum
of
the
Ticket
.
In
case
the
Spanish
Match
fall
off
that
Margaret
the
Sister
of
the
Duky
of
Savoy
shall
be
the
Wife
of
the
King
of
France
Lewis
XIV
.
The
King
postes
away
in
all
haste
to
Paris
,
where
Pementelli
,
keeping
close
for
some
time
with
Lyonne
,
debated
upon
the
Articles
of
the
Peace
and
Marriage
.
He
was
frequently
with
Mazarine
in
the
nights
,
to
whom
,
when
he
would
relax
nothing
in
Condes
case
,
Pementelli
accorded
;
That
Conde
should
be
restored
only
to
his
Estate
,
but
forfeit
his
Governments
,
and
the
place
of
Grand
Maistre
d'Hostel
.
Farther
,
that
Mazarine
and
Lewis
de
Haro
should
meet
at
the
Pyrenaeans
,
and
after
that
matters
being
composed
between
the
Ministers
,
that
the
two
Kings
should
have
an
Enterview
to
confirm
the
Articles
,
and
solemnize
the
Marriage
between
the
King
of
France
and
Maria
Teresa
the
Infanta
of
Spain
.
Pementelli
ordered
all
this
to
be
carried
to
Madrid
by
Courriers
,
expecting
from
his
Master
the
confirmation
and
ratifying
of
it
,
after
the
usual
manner
.
Mazarine
imparted
this
Secret
to
none
but
Lyonne
,
which
that
he
might
keep
from
the
eyes
of
the
Common-people
,
he
gave
out
such
pretences
for
a
colour
,
even
to
Strangers
;
That
the
Journey
of
Pementelli
was
meerly
casual
,
as
he
passed
from
Piedmont
to
Flanders
:
Happening
to
find
the
Court
at
Lyons
,
that
he
thought
it
his
Masters
Interest
,
if
to
prevent
the
Savoy
Match
,
he
did
court
the
French
by
the
Marriage
of
the
Infanta
of
Spain
with
the
publick
Peace
.
That
such
a
Match
is
to
this
end
offered
to
put
the
Emperour
into
a
scruple
that
wishes
for
it
,
and
to
raise
Jealousies
in
the
minds
of
the
Portugueze
and
English
,
without
whose
knowledge
these
things
were
believed
to
be
treated
in
France
.
No
Head
was
more
fruitful
of
such
Inventions
than
Mazarines
.
In
the
month
of
June
,
in
the
peaceful
year
1659.
Mazarine
begun
his
blessed
Journey
with
great
Pomp
,
not
a
few
Lords
of
the
Court
bearing
him
company
.
Between
Blois
and
Amboise
at
Ecurie
,
he
luckily
meets
a
Courrier
of
Pementelli
returning
from
Madrid
.
He
brought
with
him
a
Ratification
of
the
Articles
in
the
Council
of
Spain
,
extorted
with
difficulty
and
slowly
,
because
of
the
debarring
Conde
of
his
Dignities
and
Governments
.
Mazarine
paused
,
and
had
almost
gone
back
again
being
advised
what
Haro
had
promised
Conde
.
Pementelli
earnestly
desired
him
to
hold
on
his
Journey
he
had
begun
;
that
there
was
no
doubt
to
be
made
of
the
success
;
Pementelli
urged
that
the
more
confidently
,
because
he
knew
how
Fuensaldagne
stood
inclined
,
whose
sense
bore
great
sway
in
the
mind
of
the
King
of
Spain
.
Though
these
things
were
done
in
secret
,
yet
the
Report
spread
;
That
the
Peace
was
stifled
.
In
the
mean
time
we
were
deluded
,
for
our
two
months
Cessation
of
Arms
which
the
Spaniards
had
obtained
under
colour
of
the
future
Treaty
.
That
they
designed
nothing
by
that
intermission
,
but
traps
in
which
Mazarine
is
caught
.
These
and
the
like
were
broached
,
especially
at
Paris
.
Nothin
is
so
given
to
talk
malignantly
as
that
City
,
ever
since
it
was
City
.
Haro
in
the
mean
time
arrives
at
S.
Sebastians
with
a
splendid
Retinue
.
Mazarine
,
although
troubled
with
the
Gout
,
cometh
into
the
Sea-Port
Town
(
S.
John
de
Luz
they
commonly
call
it
)
at
the
day
appointed
.
Haro
stayed
at
Fuentarabie
,
having
passed
a
Complement
upon
Mazarine
.
In
the
midst
is
situated
an
Island
,
receiving
its
denomination
from
the
Birds
Phesants
,
environed
with
the
River
Bidassoa
,
lying
in
common
;
small
in
circuit
;
narrow
as
to
extent
of
ground
;
for
the
greatness
of
Transactions
the
bravest
of
Islands
.
There
the
French
and
Spaniards
erected
for
the
purpose
a
Tabernacle
with
a
double
Compartiment
,
that
avoiding
differences
about
Precedency
,
the
two
Ministers
might
meet
,
and
each
keep
to
their
own
place
.
Aug.
13.
1659.
first
comes
Mazarine
into
the
Island
in
singular
state
.
A
quarter
of
an
hour
after
appear
the
Spaniards
;
a
glittering
lustre
shines
on
every
side
.
Mazarine
and
Haro
without
any
Prerogative
of
place
,
on
one
and
the
other
side
parted
by
the
Board
,
salute
interchangeably
,
in
the
Spanish
Language
.
The
strangeness
of
the
sight
amazed
both
Nations
.
It
seemed
a
matter
incredible
,
That
the
two
principal
Confidents
of
the
greatest
Kings
who
had
lately
plotted
such
cruelties
one
against
another
âȘ
should
embrace
each
other
unarmed
,
and
instead
of
military
force
,
and
the
Stratagems
of
War
,
only
contend
in
Courtesie
.
Vpon
Conference
had
,
both
reaped
great
satisfaction
in
their
vertues
,
finding
the
judgment
of
his
Enemy
to
be
true
.
Some
days
passed
whilst
the
Instructions
are
weighed
,
the
agreements
made
partly
at
Madrid
,
partly
at
Paris
are
recited
,
more
clearly
explained
,
and
some
committed
to
the
fire
to
mend
all
faults
.
Hitherto
so
many
Proposals
for
Peace
ineffectual
,
while
the
state
of
Affairs
was
unripe
.
All
humane
events
are
wrapped
up
in
profound
darkness
,
their
seeds
are
hidden
.
But
when
the
Fates
please
,
all
things
contribute
,
and
earnestly
concur
.
Cromwells
Death
,
during
whose
life
there
had
been
no
hope
of
quiet
.
No
Promise
made
by
the
King
of
France
to
the
Portuguez
,
and
consequently
no
Rub
from
thence
.
Less
from
the
Hollanders
,
who
had
agreed
by
themselves
.
The
matter
of
Lorraine
gave
no
difficulty
.
Among
the
Spaniards
the
work
of
Peace
that
had
advanced
slowly
hitherto
,
was
furthered
by
the
Queens
being
brought
to
Red
of
an
Issue
desirable
to
sway
the
Scepter
,
a
young
Enfante
being
born
.
The
Vengeance
which
was
prepared
against
the
Portugal
,
and
could
not
be
wrecked
upon
them
while
the
War
continued
.
The
Indisposition
of
the
King
of
Spain
.
But
what
is
the
chief
,
the
good
understanding
that
was
between
Mazarine
and
Fuensaldagne
;
they
were
the
two
Poles
about
which
the
whole
Frame
rolled
.
Only
the
business
of
Conde
had
like
to
have
broke
short
the
Web
that
was
happily
upon
the
Loom
;
Fuensaldagne
would
have
been
easily
content
to
abandon
the
Prince
,
against
whom
he
had
an
Antipathy
.
Haro
bore
up
on
the
contrary
part
,
out
of
tenderness
for
the
publick
and
his
private
word
.
Mazarine
openly
professes
,
that
he
judged
it
more
advisable
to
go
away
,
and
undo
all
that
had
been
done
,
than
make
a
Concession
so
dishonourable
to
the
King
of
France
.
(
That
Concession
was
of
Condes
Governments
and
Charges
.
)
We
have
already
condescended
too
far
for
Peaces
sake
(
said
Mazarine
)
and
taxing
the
unpliable
stiffness
of
the
Spanish
Council
.
I
am
no
Prophet
,
but
either
I
am
greatly
mistaken
,
or
I
do
already
foresee
the
day
when
you
will
neglect
what
you
now
so
obstinately
insist
upon
.
In
the
mean
time
the
blood
which
shall
be
shed
hereafter
,
will
condemn
you
of
having
despised
Peace
for
Condes
Interests
.
This
said
the
Cardinal
,
and
with
that
look
wherein
was
discovered
a
grief
for
the
despair
of
Peace
.
At
length
Haro
seeing
the
Peace
to
hang
by
a
thread
,
and
that
a
slender
one
,
and
that
Mazarine
was
inflexible
,
said
,
That
his
Master
would
rather
bestow
upon
Conde
somewhat
of
his
own
,
than
contrary
to
his
promise
abandon
a
Prince
that
had
deserved
well
.
A
word
dropt
from
Haro
âȘ
of
giving
Conde
three
Cities
.
Mazarine
not
unwatchful
,
catched
the
words
as
they
were
falling
,
which
at
length
upon
more
clear
explanation
spoke
out
Marienburg
,
Philipsburg
,
and
Avennes
upon
the
Borders
of
the
Wallon-Country
and
Champagne
,
strong
by
situation
and
Works
.
And
because
nothing
could
be
granted
Conde
by
the
Spaniard
without
the
approbation
of
the
King
of
France
,
the
Forts
must
have
been
designed
and
agreed
upon
.
Thus
after
twelve
days
spent
about
Condes
business
only
,
Mazarine
thus
thought
with
himself
;
That
the
Prince
bearing
sincere
Loyalty
and
Duty
;
his
Majesty
giving
within
a
years
time
the
Government
of
Burgundy
with
the
plaee
of
Grand
Maistre
d'Hostel
,
could
not
be
denied
.
Therefore
it
was
better
to
comply
with
the
Spanish
Proposition
in
this
âarticular
,
so
those
three
fortified
Towns
might
be
acâuired
to
France
,
than
to
yield
his
consent
that
Conde
âhould
enjoy
them
from
the
Spanish
Bounty
.
By
the
express
Instructions
of
his
Master
,
Haro
ââferred
the
Honour
and
Reputation
of
having
preserved
Conde
,
before
those
Cities
granted
the
French
in
lieu
of
the
Princes
Governments
,
and
the
Maistre
d'Hostel
's
place
.
Mazarine
received
this
offer
with
a
sowre
look
,
but
a
joyful
heart
,
taking
for
clear
gains
this
acquisition
purchased
purely
by
his
means
,
to
which
he
would
have
to
be
thrown
in
Conflans
on
the
Frontier
of
Catalaunia
,
and
the
reâoring
Juliers
to
its
rightful
Prince
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
;
which
he
obtained
.
So
soon
as
ever
the
hope
of
an
undoubted
Pacification
appeared
certain
,
Gramont
Mareschal
of
France
,
is
sent
Ambassadour
to
Madrid
,
to
desire
the
Infanta
of
Spain
,
Maria
Teresa
,
according
to
agreement
,
for
Wife
to
the
French
King
.
How
worthily
he
performed
his
Embassie
,
the
published
.
Narratives
do
abundantly
inform
.
Nor
is
it
any
wonder
,
whenas
besides
his
noble
Birth
,
and
Honour
acquired
in
the
Field
,
Gentileness
and
Bravery
are
connatural
with
him
.
To
avoid
the
trouble
of
a
long
Train
,
he
rid
Poste
,
as
shortning
his
tedious
way
,
and
declaring
the
heat
of
his
youthful
Master
.
Gramont
returned
sure
of
the
Match
,
having
been
entertained
sumptuously
,
and
made
very
welcome
.
Between
Mazarine
and
Haro
,
whilst
the
Treaty
stuck
,
there
were
several
times
thoughts
of
revoking
Gramont
.
Difficult
business
standing
upon
a
precipice
,
and
at
the
point
of
dashing
in
pieces
,
was
set
right
by
the
prudence
of
the
Ministers
,
I
will
say
the
indulgence
of
the
Fates
.
Devotions
at
the
first
religiously
performed
,
never
totally
miscarry
in
the
end
.
The
Princes
of
Europe
,
or
their
Ministers
flocked
thither
,
as
to
consult
an
Oracle
;
they
admired
the
Island
,
that
is
,
a
little
Spot
upon
which
the
whole
Globe
hung
:
You
would
have
taken
it
for
the
Anchor
of
the
floating
World
.
The
Duke
of
Lorraine
heretofore
detained
in
confinement
at
Toledo
,
is
then
enlarged
,
and
without
waiting
upon
that
King
,
goes
with
all
speed
to
Haro
,
to
know
the
terms
imposed
upon
him
.
When
he
came
to
understand
the
condition
of
his
Affairs
,
impatient
at
such
a
penalty
,
he
broke
out
into
speeches
,
which
might
have
given
just
occasion
to
have
clapt
up
again
in
Prison
the
Duke
,
tired
out
with
miseries
.
This
is
not
a
Peace
,
saith
he
,
but
a
slavery
by
consent
.
The
singular
goodness
of
Haro
took
compassion
of
afflicted
Lorraine
,
who
leaving
the
Castilian
Minister
at
Fuentarabie
,
fled
to
the
French
mercy
.
Mazarine
receives
him
honourably
,
Divers
discourses
past
to
and
fro
,
even
about
entring
Alliance
.
Duke
Charles
seemed
to
go
away
less
discontented
.
What
was
afterwards
done
,
shall
be
related
in
the
end
of
the
Book
.
Charles
King
of
England
comes
from
Flanders
;
for
Cromwel
whilst
he
was
alive
,
and
after
his
death
his
Ghost
would
not
let
him
live
at
Paris
.
Haro
omitted
no
Ceremony
,
no
deference
of
the
humblest
submission
to
him
as
a
Stranger
,
but
neither
granted
him
Condes
Troops
,
which
he
desired
,
upon
pretence
of
the
Portugal
War
,
nor
would
enter
into
any
other
enagagement
to
act
for
the
restoring
of
the
King
of
England
.
Mazarine
would
not
so
much
as
vouchsafe
to
speak
with
,
or
see
the
King
for
fear
of
Lockhart
,
who
was
a
Spye
there
in
behalf
of
the
Parliament
of
England
.
It
is
a
thing
which
posterity
will
hardly
believe
.
Mazarine
always
hated
Cromwell
,
and
the
growing
Common-wealth
,
yet
so
great
an
apprehension
of
that
petty
Tyrant
was
imprinted
on
the
Cardinals
soul
,
that
he
dreaded
the
very
Ghost
of
him
when
he
was
buried
,
and
whom
he
had
courted
with
feigned
Honour
whilst
he
was
alive
,
he
followed
with
a
false
Veneration
after
he
was
dead
.
So
true
it
is
,
that
some
meaner
Spirits
have
a
natural
ascendant
and
predominancy
to
strike
awe
into
them
that
are
of
greater
abilities
.
The
King
of
England
having
lost
his
labour
,
withdrew
himself
from
the
Affront
loaded
with
Complements
from
the
Spaniard
,
and
Contempt
from
the
French
.
Ormond
who
accompanied
the
King
,
hardly
getting
to
speak
with
Mazarine
,
to
avoid
the
giving
umbrage
,
it
seems
,
to
Lockhard
,
hinted
many
things
to
win
upon
the
Cardinal
.
The
assured
hopes
of
the
Crown
which
Charles
was
near
recovering
,
the
Plots
in
favor
of
him
;
all
was
safe
,
only
that
there
needed
some
small
assistance
.
Nay
,
proceeded
so
far
as
to
sound
Mazarines
mind
with
an
Overture
of
the
Royal
Alliance
.
Such
is
the
power
of
fatal
and
invincible
necessity
,
which
the
Gods
themselves
cannot
surmount
.
All
this
was
to
no
purpose
;
the
Restauration
was
to
be
put
upon
no
other
account
than
his
personal
Vertues
and
the
providence
that
attended
so
great
a
King
,
who
goes
away
offended
at
the
French
rigour
.
Through
so
many
Compliances
of
Fortune
,
the
two
Ministers
Umpires
of
the
disagreeing
World
,
Arbitrate
all
things
at
their
pleasure
,
and
dispense
the
Fates
of
Nations
depending
upon
them
.
Portugal
fell
under
debate
when
Mazarine
turned
to
Haro
,
and
said
,
Look
me
out
to
the
very
remotest
Indies
any
Soveraigne
Estate
for
poor
Braganza
,
that
his
head
used
to
a
Crown
may
not
again
sink
into
a
private
Condition
.
The
Affairs
of
Italy
,
Mantua
,
and
Savoy
,
and
other
Princes
were
left
to
the
decision
of
the
Cardinal
and
Fuensaldagne
.
Pope
Alexander
only
was
neither
party
,
nor
partaker
in
the
Pacification
.
The
Princes
of
the
Conclave
admired
at
Rome
that
Chighi
,
whom
they
had
chosen
principally
upon
that
account
,
because
having
been
trained
up
in
the
Treating
of
Peace
,
he
seemed
a
fit
Peace-maker
,
should
be
so
scornfully
passed
by
.
Mazarine
in
his
Judgment
,
after
Chighis
Judgment
,
reputed
a
Fomenter
of
Discord
,
and
Hater
of
Peace
,
shews
,
That
he
both
could
and
would
conclude
Peace
.
Things
must
be
fitly
timed
.
The
Secrets
of
Kingdoms
should
not
be
divulged
.
It
is
enough
to
have
one
Master
in
a
House
.
No
King
must
usurp
Authority
over
Religion
,
only
the
Inspection
.
No
Bishop
must
usurp
Authority
over
Kings
,
but
paternal
Affection
.
At
twenty
four
Sessions
the
Business
of
the
Peace
was
compleated
,
and
at
length
on
Novem.
7.
1659.
The
Articles
agreed
on
by
the
two
Ministers
,
were
signed
,
which
having
been
published
,
and
the
Issue
of
Affairs
abundantly
shew
what
they
were
.
One
might
have
seen
the
most
straight
embraces
of
both
Nations
,
and
tokens
of
Dearness
,
upon
account
of
the
old
Hatred
,
after
so
many
Inroads
made
on
both
sides
,
burning
of
Towns
,
so
many
Prisoners
carried
away
,
so
many
Cities
subdued
and
demolished
,
so
much
blood-shed
,
no
Anger
left
.
In
the
height
of
publick
Rejoycing
,
each
in
their
proper
Language
and
Manner
expressed
their
Joy
;
the
past
Battels
,
they
accounted
as
Fictions
.
The
Cities
of
France
and
Spain
shined
with
Splendour
and
Beauty
:
So
that
they
seemed
truly
Objects
of
pity
,
who
were
not
Subjects
of
the
one
Crown
,
or
the
other
.
The
two
Ministers
after
mutual
Presents
from
the
one
of
a
rich
Suit
of
Hangings
,
from
the
other
of
a
gallant
Set
of
Horses
,
depart
out
of
the
Island
,
chosen
by
the
Providence
of
God
,
to
clear
the
Sky
,
and
create
a
right
understanding
between
Nations
divided
,
and
of
an
insociable
Temper
of
Spirit
.

couragious
,
and
agreeable
to
his
Life
.
THE
Cardinal
at
Tholouse
rendered
the
the
King
and
Queen
an
account
of
the
Peace
concluded
,
whereat
they
received
much
satisfaction
.
From
hence
the
Court
made
a
Progress
into
Provence
,
till
the
King
of
Spain
should
come
with
his
Daughter
,
to
compose
the
disorders
at
Marseilles
,
which
had
broken
out
about
the
Priviledges
of
their
Consuls
.
The
King
,
the
better
to
secure
Peace
at
home
,
and
Reputation
abroad
,
was
necessitated
to
build
a
Cittadel
,
having
a
plausible
occasion
to
preserve
the
equal
liberties
of
the
Community
,
and
especially
to
be
a
refuge
for
such
as
were
of
approved
fidelity
.
A
mighty
defence
without
distaste
or
charge
,
of
which
Beringham
is
made
Governour
,
than
whom
no
man
in
France
had
a
more
formal
gravity
,
having
served
two
Princes
with
an
even
tenour
of
Prudence
.
At
Paris
,
where
all
things
are
condemned
,
the
match
was
not
believed
,
scarcely
the
Peace
;
that
there
were
Castilian
deceits
in
the
bottom
,
and
Mazarine
over-reached
,
not
so
much
the
Common
People
in
the
streets
and
at
clubs
,
as
many
of
the
Noblemen
did
whisper
.
Conde
having
survived
so
many
Battels
,
being
certified
of
the
State
of
Affairs
,
after
he
had
courteously
saluted
his
Souldiers
,
according
to
their
standing
or
office
,
spoke
to
them
much
after
this
sort
;
It
is
the
seventh
year
,
Fellow-Souldiers
,
since
having
been
tossed
by
hard
Fates
,
after
the
extreamest
instances
of
Barbarous
usage
,
being
released
out
of
a
dark
Dungeon
,
I
left
the
Kingdom
of
my
Ancestors
,
obliged
to
secure
my
life
by
Arms.
All
the
time
my
Fates
,
and
the
Fortune
of
my
Family
,
have
been
put
into
your
hand
.
Now
,
neither
to
inflame
your
affections
any
further
to
the
love
of
me
,
nor
to
excite
your
Spirits
to
give
new
proofs
of
your
Valour
,
(
for
both
are
abundadtly
manifest
)
but
I
come
hither
to
request
of
you
an
allay
of
your
Courage
,
and
a
moderation
of
your
kindness
towards
me
;
that
is
,
that
you
would
be
satisfied
with
the
quiet
that
is
already
gotten
mankind
.
Nor
that
we
should
bandy
your
and
other
mens
Fortunes
restless
,
between
hope
and
fear
;
seeing
that
we
can
perform
no
better
service
,
the
Fates
of
France
importing
us
.
The
Peace
of
Nations
,
and
my
own
safety
is
secured
,
with
your
safety
,
and
that
of
Flanders
,
I
do
quietly
possess
in
France
,
both
the
Priviledges
of
my
house
,
and
the
dignities
which
I
formerly
possessed
,
and
the
Fortunes
left
by
my
Honoured
Father
.
In
a
word
,
my
estate
is
in
such
condition
,
that
I
neither
need
comfort
nor
revenge
.
I
and
Fortune
have
tryed
our
strength
;
we
have
contended
a
great
while
:
I
will
now
shew
the
example
of
contending
no
further
.
Others
have
been
longer
engaged
in
Civil
Wars
,
none
hath
come
off
more
contentedly
.
Should
I
suffer
so
many
brave
Armies
,
so
many
Commanders
,
to
be
again
beaten
down
,
and
without
cause
expose
this
Valour
of
yours
to
dangers
.
Let
this
frame
of
spirit
continue
,
as
though
ye
would
dye
for
me
,
but
survive
.
The
more
hope
you
show
,
if
I
were
willing
to
fight
,
the
braver
will
Peace
be
.
But
when
I
see
so
many
maimed
Limbs
,
so
many
Wounds
;
that
is
it
which
afflicts
my
Heart
.
Whether
will
your
old
years
,
now
when
your
blood
is
exhausted
,
go
for
relief
?
What
shall
be
the
settlement
for
you
,
when
past
service
?
What
Assignments
of
Land
after
your
fruitless
Compagnes
?
Since
at
the
present
I
am
dis-abled
from
requiting
you
according
to
your
merits
,
the
one
thing
which
I
have
;
in
this
juncture
of
Affairs
I
leave
you
eternal
Gratitude
,
and
the
example
of
my
Life
.
Time
will
be
,
when
perhaps
my
house
may
be
able
to
afford
a
donative
;
in
the
mean
time
,
receive
these
small
monuments
indeed
,
but
such
as
testifie
our
perpetual
love
.
Thereupon
the
remnant
of
money
which
he
had
,
was
divided
among
the
Souldiers
in
particular
.
After
that
the
Assembly
had
long
murmured
in
uncertain
Senses
,
Marsin
the
Liegois
,
in
behalf
of
the
Troops
,
without
any
Rhetorical
Artifice
,
Souldier-like
thus
spoke
.
Most
Invincible
Prince
,
the
greatest
Commander
of
the
French
Nation
.
Military
Discipline
consists
more
in
obeying
,
then
questioning
the
Orders
of
our
Officers
;
we
have
Arms
and
Courage
,
we
leave
to
you
Counsel
and
the
conduct
of
our
Valour
.
It
belongs
not
to
us
to
enquire
into
the
Causes
of
Peace
,
nor
to
pry
into
the
Breasts
of
Kings
.
Our
Truth
and
Reputation
hath
continued
to
this
day
unstained
towards
your
Highness
.
We
have
equally
shared
the
hazards
and
uncertainties
of
War
;
You
always
first
beat
the
path
of
dangers
,
we
following
your
Colours
,
have
learned
so
often
from
you
to
dye
.
The
issue
of
Rebellions
cometh
upon
us
,
the
glory
of
Battels
upon
you
.
Our
service
,
with
you
,
hath
been
Gentle
and
Courteous
,
You
have
vouchsafed
Pardon
to
our
Errors
,
past
by
our
slips
,
and
never
called
our
Torments
or
Disgraces
Discipline
.
Take
not
care
for
our
Rewards
,
or
whither
we
shall
go
;
Fortune
will
set
us
in
a
way
.
We
have
a
great
monument
of
glory
,
that
you
cannot
complain
of
us
.
Go
your
way
Saint
and
Merciful
;
Souldier
and
Invincible
;
We
do
Eternally
Love
and
pray
for
you
.
The
Immortal
Gods
grant
you
this
Blessing
,
that
you
may
never
have
occasion
to
think
of
us
.
Thus
much
said
Marsin
openly
concerning
himself
,
these
few
words
to
him
aside
,
You
know
at
what
rate
I
have
purchased
you
:
seek
a
name
for
the
Action
,
advise
with
the
voice
of
the
World
;
if
it
be
Rebellion
,
I
did
it
for
your
sake
.
The
Prince
,
with
a
pleasing
look
,
gave
good
attention
to
all
this
,
and
advised
the
younger
with
Authority
,
the
elder
with
entreaty
.
The
next
day
,
having
called
the
Nobles
of
the
Low-Countries
to
his
House
,
he
declared
to
them
the
Motives
of
the
Peace
,
and
the
tetms
.
Of
himself
he
spoke
little
and
cautiously
;
of
the
Publick
largely
.
The
Cities
earnestly
offered
him
Presents
,
Praises
,
Applause
;
he
refused
all
,
yet
permitted
thanks
to
be
given
him
,
but
nevertheless
did
not
vain-gloriously
provoke
Fame
,
attending
rather
till
the
heat
of
applauding
was
over
:
his
departure
was
graced
with
much
Complement
.
At
that
time
he
delivered
up
the
Provinces
in
quiet
and
safety
to
Caracene
;
And
lest
his
Entry
into
great
Cities
should
be
remarkable
for
the
Pomp
and
Multitude
of
such
as
came
to
meet
him
,
both
in
Flanders
,
and
especially
in
France
,
he
avoided
them
,
and
the
Attendances
of
his
Friends
;
but
went
with
a
small
Retinue
,
plain
in
Garb
,
and
courteous
in
discourse
.
The
Duke
of
Enguien
never
parted
from
his
Fathers
Company
,
needing
no
stranger
to
be
his
Governour
.
Through
Vervin
and
Soissons
,
and
then
Culmar
which
is
a
Town
of
Brie
,
famous
for
a
Seat
of
his
Brother-in-Law
Longueville
;
he
came
through
sharp
Frosts
and
rugged
Ways
;
there
he
made
some
stay
to
mend
his
Tackle
,
and
recruit
his
Health
.
None
were
admitted
to
see
him
,
but
such
as
were
sent
for
;
he
had
in
company
his
Wife
and
Son
,
with
his
only
Daughter
,
scarce
three
years
old
;
a
part
only
of
his
Family
ragged
,
nasty
,
and
smelling
of
Dutchery
,
Banishment
,
and
dreadful
Wars
.
It
was
judged
fit
for
Longueville
to
go
before
,
to
break
the
way
for
his
access
to
the
King
.
The
Prince
having
left
his
Wife
and
Enguien
behind
,
went
after
,
not
in
a
loitering
pace
,
lest
he
might
seem
to
be
timerous
,
nor
yet
hastily
;
but
letting
the
report
of
him
grow
by
expectation
,
he
turns
his
course
to
Madam
Chastillons
,
for
whom
he
ever
had
a
kindness
when
he
was
young
,
being
his
Kinswoman
,
and
handsom
;
which
gave
him
a
double
title
of
Love
;
but
that
was
no
hinderance
to
the
minding
his
business
.
At
length
he
comes
to
Aix
,
which
is
the
principal
Town
of
Provence
;
that
was
agreed
upon
to
be
the
place
for
his
waiting
upon
his
Majesty
to
kiss
his
Hands
.
They
come
in
multitudes
to
meet
him
:
amongst
the
rest
,
his
brother
Conti
,
who
having
left
the
Monastery
,
whither
he
had
put
himself
,
and
Married
Mazarines
Neice
,
had
left
,
some
good
time
since
,
his
brothers
Army
and
Party
.
Conde
receives
him
affectionately
;
Mazarine
was
put
into
some
trouble
at
the
coming
of
so
great
a
suppliant
,
yet
attends
him
with
a
chearful
countenance
,
which
was
not
usual
with
him
.
Four
miles
off
they
send
Coaches
,
Horses
;
and
a
Guard
,
in
show
of
Honour
.
The
Prince
is
received
by
Mazarine
at
the
Stair-Head
;
there
were
streight
Embraces
,
words
heard
by
none
;
divers
discourses
passed
to
and
fro
,
without
permitting
any
to
stand
by
.
Longueville
and
Conti
himself
,
although
he
shined
with
his
Brothers
image
,
standing
in
the
crowd
among
the
Servants
;
Mazarine
went
alone
into
the
Presence-Chamber
,
whither
within
a
quarter
of
an
hours
time
,
Conde
being
called
in
,
falls
down
at
the
Kings
feet
,
but
was
presently
raised
up
,
as
is
usual
on
such
an
occasion
;
the
first
word
was
most
attentively
watched
for
,
but
instead
of
that
,
was
a
courteous
whispering
,
that
one
would
soon
have
imagined
a
hearty
reconciliation
.
After
this
,
having
visited
the
Queen
and
Anjou
,
he
presented
the
choice
Commanders
of
his
Army
Boutteville
and
Mersin
,
and
the
rest
,
not
concealing
the
Vertues
of
each
.
Marsin
disfigured
more
then
any
else
with
scars
received
for
Conde
,
no
less
confounded
with
the
Kings
bounty
,
as
the
memory
of
his
own
carriage
,
and
the
publick
hatred
;
the
cause
of
which
was
the
more
grievous
,
in
that
it
was
just
;
casting
his
eyes
on
the
ground
,
acquitted
himself
with
only
looking
up
to
Conde
.
In
Conde
there
was
no
abjectness
,
no
pride
,
no
change
of
temper
in
a
change
of
Condition
;
his
mind
had
on
the
sudden
wheeled
about
from
Banishment
and
Guilt
,
to
Majesty
.
He
admitted
all
mirth
and
plenty
,
applyed
himself
to
such
as
flocked
about
him
,
and
expatiated
in
Flatteries
,
having
a
quick
Wit
in
a
graceful
return
of
Complements
.
Whatsoever
he
said
or
did
,
although
without
Art
,
delighted
the
ears
and
eyes
of
them
that
were
present
.
Further
,
that
he
might
allay
the
name
of
Souldier
,
which
sounds
harsh
amongst
the
idle
Courtiers
;
with
other
vertues
,
he
avowed
his
resolution
of
following
a
quiet
and
peaceful
life
.
One
might
have
seen
faces
shining
with
a
sudden
cheerfulness
,
the
cloud
of
so
many
part
troubles
being
in
a
short
time
scattered
.
So
much
power
had
that
brightness
of
blood
,
that
of
successes
,
and
what
is
above
all
,
nothings
being
difficult
to
Conde's
Fates
.
Thus
having
spent
about
eight
days
,
he
returns
back
the
same
way
,
hearing
as
he
came
along
,
the
death
of
the
Duke
of
Orleans
,
of
whom
I
shall
speak
afterwards
.
He
that
in
work
,
and
upon
the
march
lately
consorted
with
the
Common-Souldier
in
Flanders
,
reserving
intire
the
Authority
of
a
General
;
at
Paris
vies
with
the
most
Courtly
Lords
in
Ceremony
and
Complements
.
As
mens
Affections
were
forward
,
Conde's
Wit
increased
his
Reputation
,
being
adequate
to
any
fortune
whatsoever
;
the
gracefulness
of
his
Countenance
with
a
certain
Majesty
,
his
prosperity
,
mens
minds
bending
towards
him
;
and
instead
of
all
his
Fortune
.
To
have
escaped
so
many
imminent
mischiefs
,
be
restored
to
his
house
,
advanced
in
glory
.
One
might
see
the
Prinees
Palace
,
from
early
in
the
morning
,
till
late
at
night
,
swarm
with
people
;
Men
come
out
of
curiosity
,
return
with
content
,
cannot
be
satisfied
with
gazing
;
admire
the
same
vertue
,
which
lately
they
hated
;
his
youthful
affections
,
and
which
had
been
heretofore
loose
,
now
âârbed
with
heavy
cares
;
his
conditions
altered
for
the
better
,
and
though
he
were
but
middle-aged
,
as
to
years
,
yet
was
he
reported
to
have
parallel'd
the
longest
time
of
life
as
to
Glory
.
These
things
were
heard
at
Court
,
and
believed
to
be
more
then
in
truth
they
were
;
his
Popularity
was
condemned
;
and
it
was
disliked
,
that
he
had
received
Bishops
with
courtesie
above
the
ordinary
rate
;
that
he
had
nailed
Mourning
to
the
top
of
his
Coach
for
the
death
of
Orleans
.
It
is
a
Custom
which
is
past
into
a
Law
,
that
none
may
assume
this
to
themselves
,
besides
the
immediate
issue
of
Kings
.
He
that
had
so
often
nailed
Canons
,
dares
not
now
nail
his
Coach
.
The
Prince
complains
of
mischief
in
the
new
Court
,
equally
grievous
,
but
not
equally
condemned
:
yet
modestly
as
amongst
his
Masters
,
thanked
Mazarine
for
giving
him
such
advice
.
For
the
avoiding
these
and
the
like
jealousies
,
he
resolves
to
leave
the
City
for
a
time
,
and
retire
,
into
Burgundy
.
(
The
Government
of
that
Province
which
had
been
restored
him
,
was
the
Pretence
)
nor
to
spread
his
sail
any
more
to
prejudicial
Fame
,
but
seek
a
cure
of
his
Troubles
from
lying
still
.
He
takes
along
with
him
young
Enguien
,
already
shewed
,
to
the
Fates
,
that
he
might
produce
him
among
the
Peoples
.
It
will
not
be
amiss
to
observe
,
that
the
Lorrainers
and
Guises
payed
their
respects
,
to
the
Prince
by
Proxy
,
lest
they
should
walk
lower-most
,
and
on
the
left
hand
in
his
house
.
They
complained
,
that
he
observed
this
practice
which
his
Father
had
neglected
and
remitted
.
The
Duke
of
Orleans
,
born
of
Henry
the
Fourth
,
and
Mary
Medices
,
only
Brother
of
Lewis
XIII
.
having
laid
down
the
Civil
Arms
,
would
pass
off
the
discontents
that
were
risen
in
his
Spirit
,
for
the
ill
success
of
his
design
with
retiring
to
Blois
.
No
longer
did
he
give
himself
over
to
be
ruled
by
any
of
his
Servants
;
imparted
his
cares
only
to
his
Wife
,
Margaret
de
Lorraine
,
trusted
her
only
with
his
secrets
,
and
the
thoughts
of
his
Soul
.
Turned
of
the
sudden
Antiquary
and
Herbalist
,
more
exquisite
,
then
comported
with
the
Quality
of
so
High-born
a
Prince
:
Delighted
in

and
ranging
the

not
for
Venison
,
but
to
save
the
Deer
.
Set
all
the
City
of
Bloâse
into
a
Religious
Humour
,
Masses
without
end
;
openly
professed
himself
Devout
Votary
(
to
use
a
new
Term
upon
a
new
Subject
)
when
as
God
is
to
be
adored
in
Spirit
only
,
not
only
to
be
served
with
that
Ostentation
.
Those
that
rise
to
that
height
,
in
a
phrensie
of
Zeal
,
fearing
,
not
loving
,
wrong
him
whom
they
worship
.
Religion
is
to
be
used
with
moderation
,
as
all
good
things
which
cease
to
be
such
,
if
that
be
wanting
.
Amongst
these
and
the
like
courses
he
fell
sick
,
and
having
Antimony
unduely
administred
,
within
a
Week
died
of
a
Lethargy
.
Having
been
a
hopeful
Child
,
and
passed
his
youth
in
pleasure
,
always
under
the
direction
of
his
Servants
,
never
at
his
own
disposal
.
Margaret

Lorraine
spends
a

days
to

Charges

Thither
is

Ondedei
Bishop
of
Friuli
to
make
the
Contract
by
a
Proxy
,
who
performed
the
Ceremony
with
an
unaffected
Gravity

At
last
broke
forth
that
day
which
put
an
end
to
the
War
,
and

marriage

The
Island
formerly
confident
of
such
high
transactions
,
how
Spectatress
,
receives
the
Majesties
and
the
Nobles
of
both
Kingdoms
.
The
French
King
flourishing
in
years
;
the
Spaniard
declined
.
This
casting
a
great
shadow
with
his
Trunk
,
that
with
his
Leaves

Maria
Teresa
keeping
close
under
her
Fathers
wing
,
wishes
and
fears
the
issue
of
what
was
to
follow
.
The
two
Kings
having
passed
their
interchangeable
salutes
;
there
was
time
to
imagine
what
they
Would
say
.
There
was
for
some
space
such
a
profound
silence
universally
.
The
Old
King
admires
in
his
Son-in-law
,
that
valour
could
consist
with
so
great
comeliness
.
Lewis
and
Mary
dwelt
in
astonishment
upon
mutual
contemplation
of
each
other
:
So
,
in
the
whole
company
,
every
one
admired
at
that
which
surprised
the
other
with
mutual
admiration
.
Equal
years
,
and
in
differing
Faces
,
the
same
Majesty
.
The
Gospels
were
laid
,
on
stands
on
both
sides
with
a
Crucifix
.
The
Kings
kneeling
swore
upon
them
,
that
they
would
religiously
observe
the
Articles
of
the
Peace
concluded
,
which
were
at
the
same
moment
read
by
the
Secretaries
,
on
that
side
Fonseca
Contrera
,
in
Spanish
;
on
this
,
in
French
,
by
Lewis
H.
Lomeny
Count
of
Brienne
.
It
was
his
last
publick
Act
,
who
resigning
the
place
so
unblameably
,
so
worthily
held
by
his
Father
,
and
by
his
Grandfather
before
him
,
sequestred
himself
to
God
,
giving
an
eminent
Example
in
the
flower
of
his
youth
,
and
by
the
Mothers
line
of
the
Emperours
Family
.
The
French
King
admitted
the
addresses
of
the
Spaniards
,
the
Spanish
,
of
the
French
;
neither
spoke
to
them
when
they
came
to
kiss
their
hands
.
Mazarine
presented
the
French
to
Philip
;
Haro
the
Spaniards
to
Lewis
,
only
at
the
name
of
Thurenne
the
Spaniard
broke
silence
.
Him
(
saith
he
)
I
remember
and
have
reason
to
remember
.
The
hour
drew
on
of
breaking
up
the
Company
,
when
Philip
framing
occasions
of
delay
,
at
length
gave
his
daughter
a
parting-kiss
,
and
bid
her
his
last
farewel
.
The
Queen
Mother
did
almost
throw
her self
into
her
Brothers
Arms
,
but
he
out
of
Spanish
gravity
would
not
admit
her
.
This
was
the
order
at
the
entring
into
the
League
of
Peace
.
Having
left
the
Island
,
whole
memory
will
be
grateful
to
all
posterity
,
they
were
thus
parted
never
more
to
return
to
the
sight
of
one
another
.
At
S.
John
de
Luz
,
next
day
a
solemn
Wedding
was
kept
with
unusual
Splendour
;
withou
any
stay
that
barren
Sea-coast
and
unhospitable
Quarters
are
abandoned
.
All
greedily
long
after
Paris
.
It
was
thought
convenient
to
stay
a
while
at
Fountainbelleau
;
thereby
giving
the
Parisians
respit
to
provide
for
the
pompous
Solemnity
.
Mazarine
all
the
Journey
long
,
grown
more
morose
than
he
used
to
be
,
not
cheared
with
any
recreation
,
not
so
much
as
with
winning
at
Play
,
discovered
to
the
King
several
times
that
his
time
of
dissolution
approached
.
The
King
could
not
forbear
weeping
.
In
the
mean
while
the
Cardinals
Indisposition
delayed
the
coming
to
Town
;
whose
Infirmity
at
length
abating
,
and
all
things
being
prepared
,
the
King
with
the
Queen
Consort
hastned
his
Entry
into
die
City
.
The
Entry
was
next
to
a
Triumph
.
In
a
Domââ
set
up
in
the
Suburb
of
S.
Anthony
,
both
their
Majesties
were
congratulated
by
the
several
Orders
coming
forth
decently
marshalled
.
First
came
the
Ecclesiasticks
(
in
point
of
Honour
they
should
have
came
last
)
carrying
Images
with
them
,
and
antick
Gods
,
of
rude
Workmanship
.
After
the
Companies
of
Tradesmen
proceeded
the
Magistrate
,
then
followed
the
Parliament
in
their
Robes
.
Afterwards
the
Chanellour
,
laid
all
over
with
Gold
,
the
Masters
of
Requests
guarding
the
Royal
Seal
,
charged
upon
a
Horse
loaded
with
Trappings
.
The
Souldiers
and
the
Heralds
in
rich
Coats
.
All
had
spotted
Plumes
in
their
Hats
.
The
Captains
marched
in
the
Head
of
their
Companies
with
the
Ensigns
.
All
sort
of
Riches
is
displayed
,
and
the
Ornaments
of
the
City
are
fetched
to
grace
the
Publick
Joy
.
A
Coach
embellished
with
all
the
Badges
of
Majesy
is
brought
to
the
Queen
.
She
is
set
in
it
alone
.
The
King
would
not
go
in
a
Coach
;
but
mounted
on
a
gallant
Steed
,
rid
before
.
The
Princes
on
Horse-back
followed
immediately
after
.
The
joyful
City
thronging
on
both
sides
,
looked
earnestly
upon
the
Queen
;
being
aware
,
that
in
her
Chariot
was
the
chiefest
of
all
Victories
.
Joyfulness
at
the
Sight
was
provoked
by
variety
of
Sounds
.
In
the
way
all
along
as
they
came
were
Quires
of
excellent
Musicians
resounding
cheerful
Airs
in
Consorts
of
Instrumental
and
Vocal
Melody
.
The
new-married
Pair
came
amidst
this
Pomp
to
the
City-Gate
.
At
the
Entrance
was
set
up
aloft
an
Image
of
Peace
,
holding
forth
in
its
right
hand
divers
Verses
.
They
proceeded
from
the
Port
through
the
High-streets
of
the
City
to
the
Louvre
,
even
ââred
with
Joy
.
Mazarine
having
performed
this
magnificent
Solemnity
,
proposed
to
ease
the
people
of
Taxes
,
to
succour
the
Allies
,
to
encourage
Navigation
for
War
and
Merchandise
,
to
reform
the
French
Fashions
and
Laws
,
to
beautifie
the
City
with
stately
Buildings
,
and
finish
the
Louvre
,
the
most
glorious
Monument
of
this
Age
;
which
being
set
accidentally
on
fire
,
was
warning
and
fore-runner
of
what
what
was
approaching
.
He
did
not
continue
in
the
blessed
Light
of
this
World
,
cruel
Fortune
disappointing
these
Intentions
.
Scarce
were
six
months
expired
after
the
Entry
of
the
King
,
when
taken
desperately
with
all
the
Symptoms
of
extreamest
pain
,
he
gave
presages
of
his
fatal
hour
.
In
nothing
slack
,
but
in
Cure
of
his
Infirmity
.
His
Liver
and
Lungs
distempered
,
causing
a
general
feebleness
in
all
his
Limbs
,
threw
back
somewhat
impenetrable
by
the
learned
Faculty
,
although
,
what
is
strange
,
the
putrefaction
scarce
amounted
to
a
Feaver
.
After
that
it
was
clearly
understood
,
that
there
remained
no
hope
in
the
Physicians
,
the
more
skilful
of
whom
gave
their
Judgment
of
his
being
dangerously
ill
,
he
drew
to
Vincennes
there
to
dye
;
as
though
Fortune
would
be
less
taken
notice
of
in
committing
the
crime
without
than
within
the
City
.
The
King
commanded
he
should
be
left
to
his
rest
,
and
disturbed
with
no
business
.
His
Vertue
stood
always
unwounded
,
and
never
touched
.
Having
his
Soul
insensible
of
any
evil
,
he
clearly
shewed
how
vile
the
body
is
to
them
that
have
great
glory
in
their
eye
.
Having
his
thoughts
taken
up
about
nothing
more
than
the
Glory
of
the
Kingdom
(
whose
rise
and
growth
one
may
say
that
he
assisted
)
he
is
reported
to
have
suggested
many
things
of
the
various
Schemes
of
Policy
,
to
the
King
who
generally
sate
by
his
Bed-side
.
A
long
time
they
kept
silence
with
mournful
looks
,
restraining
tears
before
either
begun
the
bitter
discourse
.
The
King
most
obligingly
commending
his
Merits
,
deferred
to
him
the
success
of
his
Arms.
Our
Victories
,
saith
he
are
your
Work
.
You
have
sweetned
the
hazard
,
you
the
misfortunes
,
you
the
labours
of
War
.
You
have
preserved
my
Crown
.
At
length
you
fall
a
Sacrifice
after
so
many
propitious
successes
obtained
for
me
.
Whilst
I
shall
use
my
Estate
restored
by
you
,
I
shall
oftner
remember
all
this
hath
been
received
from
you
,
than
you
ever
thought
that
you
gave
it
.
I
will
enjoy
the
goods
gotten
by
your
Counsel
,
and
shall
understand
from
the
use
what
you
have
bestowed
upon
me
.
The
Nobles
standing
round
attended
,
and
shrowded
most
different
thoughts
under
a
common
silence
,
being
prepared
to
sway
their
affections
which
way
soever
the
Discourses
of
the
King
and
Mazarine
should
incline
them
.
Mazarine
,
although
he
supposed
all
this
to
be
true
,
which
had
been
said
,
answered
as
became
his
modesty
;
That
all
must
be
put
upon
Account
to
the
Kings
Cause
and
Felicity
:
that
himself
too
had
received
an
inestimable
favour
to
have
the
Honour
to
meddle
with
his
most
holy
Arms
and
Counsels
.
Afterwards
wisely
admonished
the
King
,
That
himself
would
undertake
the
Government
of
his
State
,
and
not
create
a
publick
Jealousie
by
ill
chosen
Favourites
:
That
he
should
have
the
same
Genius
,
and
the
same
Divine
Assistance
of
his
Counsel
to
rule
,
as
he
had
to
obtaine
his
Victories
.
Many
Secrets
he
farther
Instilled
into
the
King
,
opening
his
Majesties
eyes
.
As
they
were
thus
discoursing
together
,
many
times
he
fainted
away
.
When
all
hope
was
quite
past
,
the
King
departed
,
lest
his
voice
,
ratling
through
weakness
,
might
lose
its
Majesty
;
his
grief
turning
to
thoughts
,
what
was
to
come
after
.
Amongst
all
the
tokens
of
extreme
torment
,
yet
no
pains
did
extort
a
groan
or
complaint
.
The
same
setled
look
which
he
had
when
he
was
well
,
accompanied
him
at
his
departure
.
Just
as
if
he
had
been
to
prepare
for
a
Journey
,
folding
and
laying
up
his
Papers
in
thier
order
,
and
locking
up
his
Desk
,
he
did
even
temper
his
discourse
with
facetiousness
.
In
this
time
he
signed
his
Will.
As
to
the
main
,
his
mind
was
unaltered
:
In
particulars
he
made
some
change
;
leaving
the
King
his
Heir
,
but
many
Legatees
:
Then
he
adopted
Du
Port
the
only
Son
of
Meilleray
into
the
Priviledges
of
his
Blood
,
recalling
an
old
Custom
out
of
use
,
to
whom
he
gave
his
Niece
in
Marriage
,
and
conveyed
him
his
Name
and
Arms
,
being
for
his
Merits
taken
into
equal
dearness
,
as
if
he
had
been
his
own
Son
.
He
advanced
his
Nephew
Mancini
in
Governments
,
Lordships
,
and
Riches
.
These
were
to
share
equally
.
Of
his
Attendants
and
Menial
Servants
none
almost
was
left
without
a
Legacy
.
Somewhat
too
he
bequeathed
to
Learning
.
He
ordered
the
building
a
Colledge
for
the
training
up
of
Youth
,
of
the
gained
Provinces
,
and
Acquist
of
Territory
,
to
have
this
Motto
,
A
Monument
of
the
Empire
enlarged
.
He
earnestly
intreated
the
King
,
To
confirm
and
ratifie
whatsoever
he
had
ordered
,
being
it
was
his
last
Will
,
he
had
hopes
of
help
from
Equity
,
and
for
that
Equity
,
from
the
King
.
The
King
past
his
word
to
him
;
Ask
,
saith
he
,
what
you
will
from
Vs
,
it
will
be
less
than
your
Merits
.
He
left
a
plentiful
,
he
might
have
left
an
immense
Estate
,
having
command
of
the
Treasury
;
which
is
not
to
be
attributed
to
ill
practices
,
but
his
careful
Ministry
.
At
this
time
especially
he
recommended
by
particular
Character
John
Baptista
Colbert
,
in
whom
as
he
professed
he
loved
many
qualities
,
so
especially
his
faithfulness
and
his
industry
,
and
with
his
most
piercing
Judgment
,
sincerity
unknown
to
the
most
of
men
.
One
whom
no
body
ever
could
,
and
who
would
deceive
no
body
.
Having
a
vast
quantity
of
Jewels
,
he
distributed
them
among
several
.
Conde
especially
in
testimony
of
injuries
forgotten
,
he
gave
a
Diamond
of
no
mean
price
:
The
King
he
left
eighteen
that
were
inestimable
,
styled
Mazarines
,
to
propagate
his
Name
and
Renown
to
posterity
:
His
fair
Estate
without
any
alteration
of
the
course
descended
upon
the
designed
Heirs
.
By
habitual
pains
he
was
so
beaten
to
sufferings
,
that
when
he
was
ready
to
dye
,
he
had
an
appearance
of
cheerfulness
.
All
the
blood
in
his
Veins
being
out
of
temper
,
and
his
Lungs
obstructed
with
the
very
dregs
,
stopped
his
breath
.
Shewing
the
bare
Bones
and
his
Belly
swollen
with
a
Dropsie
,
he
informed
how
frail
a
thing
that
is
which
is
of
greatest
account
in
this
World
.
When
his
weak
body
was
forced
to
yield
to
the
power
of
the
disease
,
no
Physick
being
available
against
fatal
necessity
,
when
certain
signs
of
death
appeared
,
the
Counsel
of
Physicians
withdrew
.
For
they
say
it
is
improper
,
that
they
who
ought
to
be
Helpers
of
life
,
should
be
Spectators
of
death
.
They
could
not
at
all
agree
in
the
Nature
of
his
Disease
,
about
which
all
the
time
that
they
had
him
under
Cure
,
they
were
at
sore
difference
.
Some
of
them
concealing
the
desperateness
of
his
case
out
of
policy
,
others
out
of
ignorance
.
Sometimes
ten
,
sometimes
twelve
,
at
the
fewest
there
were
six
enough
to
have
killed
one
that
were
in
perfect
health
.
Being
of
a
stout
and
invincible
Spirit
,
he
applied
the
remnant
of
life
,
which
he
found
left
him
to
Meditations
of
Death
:
and
at
last
March
15.
which
month
Diviners
had
foretold
would
be
fatal
to
him
,
he
passed
from
this
mortal
life
at
Vincennes
.
On
the
very
same
day
dyed
that
other
Julius
at
Rome
.
Not
a
few
grieved
to
please
the
King
;
the
rest
transported
,
pleased
themselves
with
the
liberty
of
mourning
.
The
King
was
heartily
sorry
.
The
Court
was
hung
with
Mourning
,
and
all
that
would
be
in
the
fashion
,
went
into
Blacks
.
Thus
deceased
the
most
potent
of
all
Favourites
that
ever
were
,
in
the
year
of
his
Life
59.
of
his
Power
18.
In
France
all
that
time
he
reigned
in
absolute
Authority
,
Majesty
ever
saved
,
turning
all
things
with
his
Look
,
the
rest
being
but
a
Company
of
Vassals
.
He
was
observant
of
Religion
,
as
to
the
external
Acts
of
Worship
:
For
when
he
drew
nigh
to
his
latter
end
,
after
the
Christian
fashion
,
he
did
solemnly
receive
the
Eucharist
to
assist
him
in
his
Passage
,
and
with
a
devout
Litany
received
Extreme
Unction
.
Nay
farther
requested
,
that
Masses
might
be
said
for
him
.
All
was
performed
in
the
Temples
with
extraordinary
diligence
;
and
God
exposed
upon
the
Altars
.
Supplications
were
made
before
all
the
Saints
.
Zealous
for
the
See
of
Rome
,
beyond
measure
;
whether
out
of
hopes
of
the
triple
Crown
,
to
which
he
was
a
bold
Pretender
after
the
Conclusion
of
the
Peace
;
or
out
of
a
natural
respect
,
or
out
of
Art
:
Whatever
it
be
at
his
earnest
request
,
the
Popes
Nuncio
blest
him
,
and
pacified
God
.
He
was
one
of
no
ordinary
presence
:
his
stature
rather
of
a
neat
cut
than
tall
,
with
a
high
forehead
:
one
would
readily
judge
him
a
mild
man
.
His
access
at
the
first
gate
was
guarded
by
a
sullen
Porter
,
but
to
such
as
could
happily
get
clear
through
the
throng
,
and
frowardness
of
the
Sentinel
in
at
the
Wicket
,
his
Reception
was
courteous
.
So
great
a
power
had
he
over
his
Countenance
and
Language
,
that
when
he
would
most
conceal
his
Intentions
,
he
seemed
most
open-hearted
:
so
artificially
couching
his
words
,
that
a
man
would
easily
imagine
,
he
meant
to
perform
more
than
he
promised
.
Confident
he
was
of
reconcilement
,
so
as
to
the
admiration
of
all
,
he
would
admit
such
as
were
lately
his
Enemies
,
again
to
be
next
his
person
;
and
inseparable
Companions
at
his
Business
and
Divertisements
,
having
already
pardon
for
those
that
submitted
,
and
no
punishment
for
the
stubborn
.
His
natural
abilities
he
improved
by
industry
,
for
greater
Affairs
he
would
manage
himself
,
sparing
of
sleep
and
ease
,
but
not
by
Assistants
.
Being
aware
of
the
uses
of
money
,
he
was
counted
thrifty
of
the
Publick
,
covetous
of
his
own
.
But
for
Bravery
of
the
Accommodations
and
Furniture
of
his
own
Dwelling
,
for
multitude
of
Lacquais
and
Pages
,
above
great
Princes
.
No
seat
of
theirs
is
more
magnificent
than
Mazarines
House
;
as
though
he
alone
should
shew
Strangers
the
Wealth
and
Power
of
France
.
Nor
was
this
distastful
to
the
King
from
whom
he
redeemed
all
suspicion
of
pride
by
addrese
and
submission
.
He
pryed
into
the
Secrets
of
Kingdoms
and
private
Persons
.
I
know
not
whether
ever
man
was
more
accomplished
to
delude
the
French
.
He
would
buoy
up
hopes
with
ceremonious
Applications
,
and
would
enlarge
Nobility
with
the
offer
of
Titles
:
carrying
himself
so
fairly
,
that
every
where
he
might
appear
freed
from
the
being
apprehended
to
have
done
wrong
.
But
so
fast
in
keeping
counsel
,
that
he
was
wholly
inaccessible
even
to
those
that
were
reputed
his
greatest
Confidents
.
He
would
never
brag
any
thing
in
vanity
of
words
.
Towards
prosperity
and
adversity
he
bore
an
even
face
,
not
mind
.
And
though
great
he
was
accounted
whilst
he
stood
;
in
his
fall
,
and
when
he
was
down
,
he
appeared
greater
.
In
truth
,
by
his
Courage
he
deserved
that
his
Calamity
should
at
last
turn
to
his
Glory
.
Being
given
to
dissimulation
,
he
yielded
an
ear
to
Suspicions
and
Slanderers
.
Large
in
promises
,
which
oftentimes
he
did
not
perform
;
or
if
he
did
make
them
good
,
the
Courtesie
was
long
pondered
with
scruples
and
delay
,
and
extorted
by
importunity
,
so
that
he
made
it
unserviceable
,
consuming
the
joy
with
the
tediousness
of
expectation
.
Sometimes
he
rewarded
Vertue
,
but
never
went
forth
to
meet
it
.
And
that
upon
acquaintance
,
with
the
French
Temper
,
which
presently
upon
receiving
one
favour
,
thinks
of
a
new
one
.
He
fell
under
Infamy
,
seldom
for
his
own
,
many
times
for
others
actions
.
The
malignity
of
Fortune
often
overcame
his
Arts
,
and
in
him
Fate
was
too
hard
for
Vertue
.
In
so
great
a
happiness
of
Nature
,
there
was
an
eminent
complication
of
all
exquisite
qualities
,
which
were
consistent
with
transcendent
Vertues
.
The
Reputation
of
Clemency
he
stood
upon
,
even
when
severity
had
been
expedient
to
absolute
Government
.
By
Gentleness
he
arrived
to
that
Praise
,
with
which
many
many
have
grown
famous
by
violent
and
rigorous
courses
.
In
truth
no
innocent
Ghosts
will
torture
him
,
no
publick
Evils
,
nor
domestick
can
justly
be
reproached
upon
him
.
He
deserved
well
of
our
Ancestors
and
Posterity
,
having
increased
the
Empire
by
the
accession
of
Territory
,
and
not
impaired
it
by
any
eminânt
loss
.
It
must
be
marked
,
that
he
fell
into
times
different
to
Richlieu's
.
He
had
most
sore
Enemies
that
rivalled
a
Woman
and
a
Child
.
Being
haughtily
secure
through
his
own
Conscience
,
and
the
Kings
Love
,
he
stoutly
waged
,
and
gloriously
finished
a
War
that
had
been
rashly
undertaken
.
Comparable
to
any
of
the
Ancients
for
profoundness
of
Understanding
,
he
was
buried
amidst
the
Applauses
of
Victory
in
his
own
Triumph
.

There
is
no

of
a
great
Prince
,
then
to
take
and
employ
able
men
,
and
of
reputation
;
for
all
will
presently
judge
that
he
is
such
a
one
,
as
those
be
that
are
about
him
.
The
Progress
into
Britanny
,
that
had
been
long
talked
of
at
Court
,
at
lest
about
the
end
of
the
month
of
July
,
Anno
1661.
broke
out
upon
the
head
of
Nicholas
Fouquet
,
who
was
Arrested
,
as
he
returned
from
the
Kings
Council
.
He
was
carried
into
the
Castle
of
Angers
;
from
thence
to
Vincennes
,
and
at
last
to
the
Bastille
.
The
greatness
of
the
blow
seconded
the
wishes
of
his
Friends
,
none
offering
to
interpose
between
him
and
that
stroke
,
which
was
set
on
by
so
Powerful
a
hand
.
He
was
a
man
of
a
noble
Spirit
,
but
ruined
by
his
good
Nature
,
and
blinded
by
Prosperity
;
(
if
it
may
be
called
Prosperity
,
the
disposing
of
a
vast
Treasure
)
being
neither
rightly
acquainted
with
his
own
Station
,
nor
the
falshood
of
Flatterers
;
he
fell
not
out
of
a
greediness
of
hoarding
,
but
of
scattering
Money
.
Yet
none
appeared
in
his
defence
when
he
came
in
trouble
,
so
widely
had
he
offended
,
and
in
such
a
compass
,
as
if
he
had
made
that
his
only
business
.
He
is
not
the
only
person
that
this
Mask
hath
trapanned
,
the
same
Visour
hath
deluded
thousands
.
Where
is
the
man
who
hath
escaped
out
of
these
Nets
,
but
hath
left
some
feathers
upon
this
Bird-lime
;
the
lust
of
women
too
playing
about
such
streams
of
Gold
.
The
King
passed
no
fierce
,
no
hasty
sentence
,
but
gave
the
Prisoner
time
to
give
in
his
own
and
others
misdemeanours
.
He
erected
a
Court
of
honest
men
,
chosen
out
of
every
Parliament
of
France
,
lest
their
power
should
be
corrupted
if
they
had
been
few
:
These
were
,
by
Commission
,
to
make
inquiry
into
the
Embezelling
the
Publick
Money
,
to
discover
by
what
Caverns
,
what
Gulfs
it
was
wasted
:
The
young
King
would
have
his
Chequer
improve
in
height
;
Restraint
was
needful
,
though
late
;
yet
there
was
no
penalty
laid
upon
Fouquet
,
but
that
of
Banishment
.
See
the
storms
and
tossings
of
life
,
that
no
Wisdom
can
ever
regulate
in
the
slippery
Pinnacle
and
Precipice
of
the
Court
.
It
is
a
hard
matter
,
in
any
sort
of
life
,
so
to
behave
ones
self
,
as
not
to
trip
;
and
it
is
a
great
gift
of
nature
to
have
common
sense
,
and
not
presume
too
much
upon
Fortune
.
At
the
close
of
February
[
1662
]
the
King
was
present
in
Parliament
,
that
the
conditions
of
Agreement
accorded
with
Charles
of
Lorrain
,
might
be
consirmed
by
their
Act.
The
substance
of
thâm
was
to
this
effect
,
That
Charles
Duke
of
Lorrain
,
being
without
Issue
,
doth
voluntarily
,
without
any
constraint
,
make
over
to
Lewis
King
of
France
,
all
his
right
in
the
Dukedoms
of
Lorrain
and
Barr
;
that
the
same
Charles
,
during
his
life
,
shall
command
both
Countries
with
Soveraign
Authority
;
his
Subjects
continuing
free
from
all
new
Taxes
and
Impositions
;
that
the
King
have
free
power
,
as
soon
as
he
pleaseth
to
fortifie
Marsal
,
that
if
the
Duke
be
invaded
in
Germany
,
in
the
Low-Countries
,
in
Franche-Comte
,
that
the
King
shall
come
in
to
his
defence
;
that
the
Accession
of
so
great
a
Territory
is
compensated
by
adopting
them
into
the
Royal
Family
.
After
the
Imperial
Progeny
of
the
Bourbons
,
that
the
Princes
of
Lorrain
be
advanced
into
the
Priviledges
of
the
Blood-Royal
;
Yet
that
they
may
not
exceed
the
number
of
four
,
who
should
be
of
that
Family
Authorized
to
the
passing
of
Publick
Acts.
That
all
these
,
so
great
Priviledges
,
are
granted
upon
the
condition
,
that
they
who
pretend
to
he
descended
of
that
Line
,
all
actually
subscribe
,
the
Articles
otherwise
to
be
void
and
of
no
effect
.
With
such
a
Bridle
was
the
notorious
Pride
of
that
Audacious
House
restrained
.
Divers
discourses
past
about
a
business
of
that
moment
;
the
Publick
voice
disliked
it
;
the
more
understanding
did
not
joyn
in
it
;
the
Court
was
divided
;
those
that
were
still
foremost
in
compliance
,
as
the
custom
is
,
magnifie
the
Kings
Prudence
.
The
more
Sowre
condemn
it
in
dubious
words
;
Seguier
performing
his
Chancellours
part
in
the
Parliament
,
reported
the
Kings
Act
with
a
proper
Oration
;
in
the
Privy
Council
he
discharged
his
duty
,
that
the
Blood
Royal
could
not
be
transfused
into
the
veins
of
Strangers
;
that
it
is
dangerous
to
have
them
adopted
,
who
had
once
the
boldness
to
contend
for
the
Kingdom
;
that
the
present
Fortune
of
the
King
is
above
all
dispute
:
Emergencies
and
future
events
are
above
all
Royal
Power
:
that
the
States
of
the
Kingdom
would
eternally
condemn
Covenants
that
carried
a
snare
in
them
.
When
the
Succession
of
the
Kingdom
is
in
question
,
they
would
not
be
velued
without
their
consent
;
that
such
matters
do
not
depend
upon
a
Queens
fruitfulness
,
nor
the
flourishing
Age
of
a
King
;
for
a
numerous
Issue
Royal
hath
been
more
then
once
seen
of
a
sudden
turned
into
barrenness
.
That
the
pretence
of
the
Vendosms
,
and
Longuevilles
,
could
not
be
determined
,
which
all
the
Nobility
would
favour
,
that
never
would
put
their
Necks
under
a
strangers
yoke
:
that
such
matters
as
these
are
not
approved
,
till
done
;
yet
he
could
not
forbear
,
but
according
to
the
duty
of
his
Place
,
he
should
mention
this
boldly
indeed
;
but
modestly
submitting
all
to
the
Kings
Judgment
.
Lyonne
replyed
a
word
on
the
place
;
that
,
the
King
was
not
much
concerned
in
what
should
be
the
contests
of
Posterity
;
that
a
vast
accession
was
purchased
at
a
Chimera
.
It
were
a
very
high
Crime
to
question
the
eternity
of
the
Bourbons
.
Therefore
the
matter
was
resolved
upon
,
the
Kings
Authority
turning
the
Scale
,
though
the
Vendosms
,
Longuevilles
,
and
Courtneys
drew
against
it
;
yet
these
forbore
to
make
any
present
stir
,
being
certified
of
Charles
's
repentance
,
and
the
retirement
of
his
Nephew
and
Name-sake
into
Germany
.
What
will
be
the
issue
,
must
be
expected
from
time
.
The
chief
Princes
of
Europe
had
sent
their
Ministers
to
Charles
II.
King
of
Great
Britain
,
for
the
establishing
his
Authority
,
not
yet
any
long
time
re-setled
.
Whilest
Count
Brahe
sent
by
the
Swede
,
prepares
his
Entry
into
London
,
Octob.
10.
Of
the
preceding
year
,
there
arose
a
contention
between
Estrade
,
the
French
,
and
Batteville
the
Spanish
Embassadour
,
whose
Coach
should
take
place
in
the
proceeding
.
Batteville
hired
him
some
of
the
baser
sort
of
people
in
London
;
then
whom
none
are
more
forward
to
mutiny
,
that
once
in
his
life
he
might
get
his
King
one
petty
triumph
over
the
French
:
Therefore
at
the
set
day
the
sordid
rout
vented
their
Spleen
upon
the
Attendants
of
Estrade
,
having
butchered
his
Coachman
and
Horses
,
and
some
of
his
Servants
;
the
Spaniard
continued
Master
of
the
Field
.
The
King
of
England
turned
the
blame
upon
the
Common
People
,
which
by
reason
of
his
being
newly
restored
,
he
could
not
at
the
present
restrain
.
The
French
Kings
indignation
discharged
upon
Batteville
only
:
More
noble
Anger
hath
not
at
any
time
else
appeared
.
In
such
a
juncture
,
whatsoever
Prudence
suggests
,
an
incensed
Prince
scorns
,
rushing
only
upon
reve
ge
.
He
banishes
from
the
Veerge
of
the
Court
,
the
Count
Fuelsaldagne
,
not
respecting
his
Integrty
,
and
that
he
had
been
Conductor
of
the
Queen
,
who
was
the
pledge
of
Peace
.
He
also
denyed
Caracene
,
that
was
discharged
of
the
Government
of
the
Low-Countries
,
a
passage
through
France
in
his
return
for
Spain
.
And
as
though
the
Kings
wrath
were
not
satisfied
with
all
this
,
the
Archbishop
of
Yverdon
,
who
was
then
at
Madrid
upon
the
Kings
account
,
is
ordered
not
only
to
demand
of
Philip
himself
,
that
Batteville
,
who
had
offended
,
might
be
punished
according
to
the
hainousnouss
of
the
offence
;
but
to
cut
off
all
contention
about
Precedency
for
the
future
,
that
the.
Spanish
Renunciation
of
all
Priority
,
might
be
established
by
a
Publick
Act.
The
fierce
Spaniard
hardly
digests
it
,
and
whilst
he
debates
the
question
,
the
French
Embassadour
keeps
at
home
,
laying
down
his
publick
quality
,
as
though
he
had
devested
himself
of
all
Priviledge
.
But
Paternal
affection
bore
sway
.
Philip
waving
the
Regal
Dignity
,
puts
on
the
Father
,
thinking
it
not
unglorious
to
give
way
to
him
,
to
whom
he
had
given
his
Bowels
.
But
lest
this
Spanish
consent
should
vanish
into
Air
,
it
was
to
be
confirmed
by
a
solemn
Embassy
.
The
Marquess
Fuentes
,
chosen
for
that
purpose
,
comes
to
Paris
with
a
great
Train
.
The
King
,
that
he
might
make
the
Audience
more
glorious
at
an
act
of
that
high
Nature
,
would
have
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
the
Embassadours
of
Venice
,
Swethland
,
Savoy
,
the
United
Provinces
,
and
all
Foreign
Ministers
to
be
present
;
as
also
the
Peers
of
the
Realm
,
the
Chancellour
and
four
Secretaries
to
Register
it
.
Fuentes
having
been
experienced
in
State-Affairs
,
and
divers
Embassies
,
was
not
surprized
at
the
lustre
of
so
great
an
Assembly
.
Therefore
taking
that
concourse
,
not
as
a
witness
of
abridging
his
Honour
,
but
turning
it
to
his
Glory
,
thus
spoke
to
the
King
:
There
being
nothing
more
upon
the
King
my
Masters
Heart
,
then
Religiously
to
observe
the
Laws
of
Consanguinity
:
He
hath
sent
me
hither
with
a
charge
to
confirm
them
;
which
at
his
Personal
presence
,
he
established
with
his
Royal
mouth
.
His
Person
I
sustain
this
day
,
not
representing
a
King
,
that
knows
not
to
yield
,
but
a
Father
,
whose
spirit
only
nature
works
to
a
compliance
.
He
hath
thought
fit
voluntarily
,
to
quit
to
you
those
Transitory
Honours
which
he
hath
enjoyed
so
long
;
since
,
shortly
,
Death
is
like
to
put
a
period
to
them
.
Those
Gallantries
may
become
your
Age
;
Such
youthful
ambition
,
an
old
Man
,
and
your
Father-in-law
envies
not
.
The
London
Out-rage
hath
sunk
deeper
into
his
,
then
your
Heart
;
he
could
not
more
effectually
redress
it
,
than
by
punishing
the
Author
.
The
Revocation
of
Batteville
,
is
a
publick
declaration
of
inflicting
punishment
on
him
.
But
what
could
have
been
added
more
to
this
,
then
to
lay
strict
Injunctions
,
that
his
Embassadours
,
for
the
future
,
do
not
contend
with
yours
about
Precedency
.
This
is
the
occasion
of
the
Embassy
,
which
I
the
rather
perform
,
because
the
Peace
lately
concluded
,
is
hereby
confirmed
;
May
it
stand
in
full
force
to
all
Generations
.
The
King
receiving
satisfaction
in
his
due
Honour
,
gave
him
a
nod
when
he
had
concluded
his
Speech
,
reserving
to
himself
the
whole
Spanish
State
,
with
their
Homage
.
He
advised
the
Embassadours
to
be
mindful
of
what
had
past
,
and
report
to
their
respective
Princes
what
they
had
seen
and
heard
.
At
the
breaking
up
of
the
Assembly
,
Lewis
appeared
more
August
.
It
may
be
also
called
a
Victory
without
blood
,
when
the
King
bought
of
the
English
,
Dunkirk
for
ready
Money
.
What
matters
it
whether
so
strong
,
so
considerable
Garrisons
come
by
Gold
or
Steel
?
and
the
Nation
planted
in
the
Kingdom
of
Neptune
,
be
excluded
from
the
Continent
?
The
same
year
,
1662.
The
King
,
by
Proclamation
,
commanded
the
Tenets
of
the
Jansenists
,
condemned
by
Innocent
X.
and
Alexander
VII
.
to
be
abolished
.
The
New
Sect
received
its
denomination
from
Cornelius
Jansen
,
Bishop
of
Ypers
,
who
about
the
40
year
of
this
Age
,
put
out
a
Book
abour
Grace
and
Free
Will
;
wherein
he
is
beleived
to
have
fastened
to
St.
Austin
a
sense
contrary
to
that
Doctors
mind
.
But
I
confine
my self
within
my
own
bounds
,
and
do
not
climb
those
heights
,
lest
like
an
ill
Tyler
,
I
should
fall
from
the
House-top
,
and
be
laugh'd
at
.
In
the
better
part
of
the
World
,
what
broyls
hath
an
itch
of
Arguing
about
Religion
made
?
that
which
doth
,
and
hath
,
and
will
occasion
this
,
is
mans
weakness
,
of
which
there
is
no
more
certain
Argument
,
then
to
quarrel
about
sacred
matters
.
It
is
a
Disease
of
the
Soul
to
make
superfluous
questions
about
God
;
but
what
can
we
do
?
Divines
had
rather
dispute
their
live
.
It
is
commendable
to
restrain
a
Gallimawfrey
and
Hotch-potch
of
Religions
and
Innovatours
,
because
they
may
put
people
upon
Change
.
A
Prudent
King
ought
with
all
his
Power
to
defend
the
Ancient
Worship
,
nay
,
rather
then
know
it
:
he
is
justly
counted
,
next
under
God
,
by
whom
his
Majesty
is
vindicated
:
yet
Faith
is
to
be
wrought
by
Perswasion
,
not
by
Command
.
No
less
valiantly
did
the
King
avenge
the
affront
offered
Crequi
his
Embassadour
at
Rome
,
then
that
done
D'Estrade
at
London
.
Contempt
is
a
Pestilent
thing
to
Kingdoms
,
whose
Soul
is
Authority
,
and
an
honourable
opinion
of
their
Soveraign
.
But
contempt
is
a
mean
and
low
opinion
of
the
Prince
and
his
State
,
imprinted
in
Subjects
and
Foreigners
,
by
which
the
Majesty
of
the
Throne
lyes
on
the
ground
.
For
few
overrhrows
of
States
have
been
by
malice
,
the
most
by
scorn
.
Lewis
the
XIV
.
hath
vindicated
himself
from
that
more
then
any
of
the
Ancient
,
or
more
modern
Kings
,
who
hath
not
spared
so
much
as
the
Pope
himself
.
The
Corsi
,
the
Souldiers
that
are
the
Popes
Guard
,
upon
pretence
of
some
trivial
quarrel
with
Crequi's
Pages
,
shoot
Pistols
in
at
his
Windows
,
set
upon
his
Wives
Coach
as
she
is
coming
home
;
and
offer
all
sorts
of
Insolencies
,
trampling
upon
the
Holiness
of
the
Embassy
.
Crequi
departed
from
Rome
unsatisfied
;
the
Corsi
triumph
.
The
Ring
of
France
having
taken
into
his
power
Avignon
,
a
City
of
the
Popes
;
threatens
to
use
extremity
,
and
prepares
an
Army
against
Italy
:
After
divers
Treaties
,
it
is
concluded
at
Pisa
;
That
for
the
appeasing
the
Kings
Wrath
,
the
Corsi
be
eternally
banished
from
Rome
!
A
Pyramide
be
built
for
an
everlasting
monument
of
the
Action
;
but
what
is
the
principal
matter
,
That
a
Legate
,
Ă
Latere
be
sent
to
the
King
too
in
submissive
terms
,
to
give
satisfaction
for
the
hainousness
of
the
Fact
;
which
was
decently
performed
by
the
Popes
Nephew
,
Cardinal
Chighi
.
The
State
of
France
being
in
perfect
settlement
,
the
King
reverenced
at
home
,
and
feared
abroad
;
holds
his
Eyes
steady
over
all
Europe
,
to
bring
speedy
relief
to
that
part
,
which
he
saw
injured
and
in
distress
.
Behold
,
of
a
sudden
,
the
Tyrant
of
Asia
enters
Hungaria
.
The
Emperour
Leopoldus
implores
the
French
Succour
:
It
is
presently
sent
under
the
command
of
Collins
.
Again
,
did
the
double-nam'd
Ister
admire
the
French
Banners
;
they
fight
stoutly
against
the
Turk
;
and
the
King
lending
his
strength
,
and
his
Fortune
,
a
Peace
is
concluded
,
or
a
Truce
like
a
Peace
.
The
Victorious
Army
at
their
return
,
shewed
at
Paris
their
naked
Semitars
,
taken
from
the
Musulmans
.
Merchandize
is
rendered
considerable
,
stocks
of
Money
being
provided
for
it
.
Our
power
is
diffused
through
the
West
and
Eastern
Countries
,
the
Sea
being
on
all
parts
free
or
linked
in
Commerce
.
Now
as
the
management
of
every
publick
Affair
requires
some
assistant
,
the
direction
of
this
great
charge
is
committed
by
the
King
,
to
John
Baptist
Colbert
,
to
âhose
private
profit
,
whatsoever
doth
not
turn
to
the
publick
,
he
doth
not
think
conducing
,
a
person
of
a
deep
reach
.
We
see
Rebellion
chained
,
Luxury
subdued
,
the
Robbers
of
the
Publick
Money
confounded
;
all
men
,
either
inclined
by
their
Wills
to
do
well
,
or
necessitated
by
the
Laws
.
For
a
Prince
by
his
actions
,
teaches
his
Subjects
to
act
righteously
;
and
as
he
is
greatest
in
Power
,
so
is
he
yet
greater
in
Example
;
and
no
body
complains
but
of
his
Greatness
,
who
is
the
hope
and
Peace
of
People
.
Here
ends
the
year
1664.
and
my
History
,
with
the
new
Apparition
in
the
Sky
;
they
call
it
a
Comet
;
there
is
none
but
desires
to
know
,
whether
he
should
admire
,
or
fear
it
.
Some
there
are
who
give
out
,
that
it
portends
some
grievous
matter
;
we
are
of
that
temper
,
that
we
pass
over
with
neglect
,
what
we
see
every
day
,
though
worthy
of
admiration
;
on
the
contrary
,
even
the
least
matters
,
if
they
appear
to
us
unusual
,
we
make
a
business
of
gazing
upon
them
.
