I may say, that every Man measur'd his Me∣rit by his Presumption that instead of valuing the Favours they receiv'd from your Majesty by their Intrinsick Worth, they only valued them according as they were suitable to the Unruliness of their Fancy and that the most daring were esteem'd the wisest, and often prov'd the most happy. I may say, that the ill Example of both was so prejudicial to this Kingdom, that the best regu∣latedĬommunities were tainted with their Beha∣viour, and in some cases lessen'd your Majesty's lawful Authority, as much as in them lay, in or∣der to extend their own beyond reason. WHEN Your Majesty was first pleas'd to admit me into your Councils, and to repose a great Confidence in me for the Direction of your Affairs I may af∣firm with Truth, that the Huguenots shar'd the State with you that the Grandees behav'd them∣selves as if they had not been your Subjects and the most powerful Governours of Provinces, as if they had been Soveraigns in their Imploy∣ments. A Short Relation of the King's great Acti∣ons, until the Peace concluded in the Year. They also enjoy the enthusiastic company of their fifteen grandchildren.CHAP.
