so it was as it prov'd to be for the answer was such that the entertainment it had was a charge to see her face no more Which Sentence was no sooner pronounc'd but executed by French haste Out he must and then hee that had nothing but amazement to reply with had now a Cue to speake on and beg the parting Blessing at least till hee could prevaile for her pardon It will not bee Out hee must and so full of Tears and Astonishment to finde out his Brother hee goes and they share the sorrow till Youth and Night parts them by drowsinesse But the Edict that it may not seem Scenical or in terrorem goes forth to all the Officers of the House neither to provide nor lend any Necessary either to spend or so much as to use While the yong Innocent slept soundly and upon the advantage sorrow had given long in the morning dreaming but of one Task at most stealing a Blessing of his Mother either by Sisters or Brothers Intercession or stealing at least a means of begging it ere shee went to her Monastery or himselfe to Church a much long'd for and often wrangled for contentment But in stead of a Mother hee is admitted to no converse on her side but of a Step-Tutor who again solicits aggravates the perill of his Mothers anger knowing indeed more then the little Duke did of it as Causes can prophesie and Counsellors know all that was already Now was the time if ever sayes Mountagu Get to her this very present instant almost Sermon-time shee has easier Proposals for you but I cannot name them now The Duke answers Then will I where ere I go I must have not a quiet only for a while but the exercise of my Religion neither her Proposals and lesse yours promise that The Coach went now by with his Mother for the Nunnery The backside whereof made him warm Mr. Mountague need not aggravate the sadness of the spectacle which as appear'd afterwards was more like the last remote View than the child could think of Hee answered Such as it is I may thank you for Sir and t is but reason What my Mother sayes to me I say to you I pray be sure I see you no more and so shew'd his back And to the last question Whither are you going good Sir The Duke answered over the shoulder To Church Where hee was indeed somewhat sadder than became the cheerfullnesse of the rest of the Congregation But ere night we all pardoned him finding much of its cause the story which we knew not then and besides that a great deale of Augurie which hee could expreslie then know for after Sermon hee had a No-Sunday thought lay on him to finde a Dinner to the Cooks he must send neither Meat Wine Bread Napkin nor diet to bee had else so heavy so generall the Proscription Yet after Evening Prayer he hop'd one interval of content by his Mothers absence to goe see his Sister The newes of his adventure frights her poore childe into Teares and shrikes and though the visitant was by his servant named a Gentleman onely yet shee starts up and cries out Oh God my Brother Oh me my Mother I am undone for ever What shall I doe Not one among her attendants old or yong could answer her but in Teares and shrikes as impotent The poore Duke attends the messenger dissembles their postures till he was got farther off Ere long home was the Queene come and how full by this time she was of his Reply to Mr. Mountague a new advance of the sentence shewes a Groom comes up at 8 or 9 at night to know what he should do with the Dukes two Horses the Comptroler was come with a charge to put them out instantly The Clowne pleaded To morrow would be time enough Now 't was too late with a great oath or two the yong Comptroller replies Yes and I shall be out of my place ere morning The resolutions on Munday of the Duke were to give way to this Passion and in order to it since his verball Passe was given him on Saturday night d ee what you please onely see not my face he would not be so neare his Mother all the while hee was providing necessaries wanting for a Germanie journey but retire to Mr. Crofts his house a while a little out of the way whence he might beg a grant to bee admitted to take leave The Queen heares of this also checks Crofts for now seeming willing to receive him whom shee has often commanded to invite The like penaltie almost lay on him if he lent him his house he tells the Duke and submits however to his pleasure The Duke thankes him but would not displease her so much and so resolves after Dinner when the Queene of France was to come and it would bee uncomely for him to bee in the house and not waite on h●r as in his Mothers lodgings hee might not to goe over the water and visit my Lord H. but even in that there would be a danger to the good Lord from London yet considering there was great odds betweene his and his Brothers presence hee adventured though the deliberations made it somewhat over late but there grew on an occasion that the next night he was to lie there also for there was no longer staying in the Palais royall The Lord and his Lady cannot refuse a double exile for his Fathers and his owne Religion and for his owne crime loyaltie to admit such a Guest while hee can provide for his Voyage for which t' was presum'd he could find but two Horses and the relikes of his new-given 10 l. for the monthly privy purse We were last night in some apprehensions too of danger by reason of the situation of the house alone in the utmost Fauxbourgs from either the zealots welwillers to the horribly and notoriously disappointed or from the disrellish of the Courts that might happen But all is well to day saving that his abode there is not yet so known but that divers of each French Religion thinke hee remov'd from the Palais to the Jesuites College all things being there so confidently ready long agone and the desires of both Queens so concentrally tending to that designe even since the peremptory commands of his Brother from Coloigne triplicated to him and seconded with divers fince December 5. On Munday the Queene had not forgot her severe threat and interdict to the Duke yet having taken all the courses shee could finde in her owne Spheare had it seems engaged the Queene of France to try once more her Authority with him But the expectation of her comming to the Palais was diversly interpreted some imagined it was to make the Dukes peace some that shee might retract his resolution by fresh assaults some to shew him how little he must look for the favour of their presence but his Highnesse could not endure the uncouthenesse of his confinement to his chamber nor car'd much to hazzard the sight of the Queen of France he had been so fearfully assaulted of late But so it was that so soone as shee came shee sent her son the Duke of Anjou to visit him who returned with newes he was not at home The Queene of France sent then his Governour to enquire where he was and having heard sent him immediately over to the Lord H. to labour to bend him to the Queens resolution for him and the Jesuites College was vehemently press'd againe To the Kings contrary command the Marquesse Duke of Anjou his Governour replied with the greatest advantage of his owne parts that it belonged to the Queen to dispose of her son since his Fathers Death entirely he disputed whether he was in his Brothers power onely for being his Soveraigne and the discourse growing now somewhat publicker and the Lords ioyning in with the Duke the Marquess had now his match and the debating that ill favoured nicety of Authority betweene Queen Mother and Brother King was so agitated by the English that the French Gentleman a man of huge parts indeed was put out of hopes of prevayling in his Errand The Queen in confidence of her Envoyè expects he should bring her home entire newes of the change of the yong Prince his mind and till almost 8. shee tarried for him there but the report of the Discourse did soone satisfie her no alteration could be made in his Resolutions The next day therefore a Report is rais'd how uncivilly the Queene of France her Message was receiv'd with affront the last step of alienation and distance between the Queen and her Son came to the height The great Palace of Cardinall Richelieu is not big enough for these two great Hearts extracted from Henry the 4. Since his departure all things are better then we imagin'd save that the presumption they had of him heretofore is not yet worn away It lasted to my knowledge till Thursday in so great a strength of Tumour that one of the French Ministers assured an Englishman that came to visit him that the Duke was for certaine in the Jesuites College The Duke had made a Resolution that would have confuted the very Relikes of that mistake by an intention to have come every day to Prayers to us but because that might perchance have aggravated the heat and lookt like a fresh affront it was advised to be omitted Wee begin now since I began writing to bee assured the Passion begins to abate The Queen they say ha's condescended to give him leave to go with my Lord of Ormond and it is hoped may admit him to beg her blessing which makes my Letter somewhat the shorter and I presume you wil be content to goe to the burying of past four circumstances as soone as may bee with the Vindication of the Dukes sincere and heroike constancy FINIS
