will which was to this effect That although it had pleased God to bestow admirable successes on him through the whole course of his raign yet now in the middle of his prosperities he had also put him in mind of his frailty by a languishing disease whereof howsoever there were good hope of his recovering notwithstanding because the judgments of men most experienced are fallible in these cases he thought himselfe oblieged to provide for the peace of his Kingdome when he was gone That he judged the best way to obtain this end and to disappoint the projects of the enemies of France to be the uniting of all the royall family with one Spirit to maintain the present state of his Crown which would be also a great tie to his confederates to adhere to the interesses of France when they shall find it governed by the same maximes that had hitherto upheld its grandeur To execute which designes he thought no course more expedient then that which the King 's his predecessors had taken on the like occasions who judged that the regency of the Kingdome and education of the minor Kings could not be better placed then on the persons of their Queen Mothers and therfore that he did ordain that in case his death should ensue before the Dauphin should enter on the fourteenth year of his age or in case that the Dauphin should die before the Majority of his second Sonne the Duke of Anjou his dearest spouse and consort the Queen Mother of his foresaid children should be Regent of France and have the education of them during their minority together with the administration of the government of the Kingdome during his nonage that should be King with the advise of her councell in manner hereafter following And in case the said Queen after his death and during her Regency should be in danger of finishing her daies he ordained that she should provide with the advise of her Councell herein specified for the Regency and government for the time And to testifie to his dear and beloved Brother the Duke of Orleans that nothing hath been able to diminish the Love that he hath ever borne him he ordained him Lieutenant Generall of the non-aged King and to exercise the said charge in all the provinces in the Kingdome under the authority of the Queen Regent and of the Councell and this notwithstanding the declaration registred against him in the Court of Parliament onely declaring that if he in any wise shall contravene this establishment he remain ipso facto deprived of this charge That although from the wisdome piety and vertue of the Queen he might well promise himselfe a happy government of his state yet considering the weight of such a charge and the impossibility of her taking cognisance of all affairs necessary that he thought fit to establish a councell of the Regency to assist her by whose judgments and authority the great and weighty affairs of State should be examined and resolved by plurality of Voices to compose which Councell he thought he could not make better election for Ministers of State then of his dear and beloved Cosins the Prince of Condè and the Cardinall Mazzarini of his trustie and well beloved the Lord de Seguier Chancellour of France and keeper of the seals the Lord de Bouttiglier Surintendant of his finances and the Lord de Chauvigni Secretarie of State and of his Commandments He ordained also that the Duke of Orleans and in his absence the Prince of Condè or Cardinall Mazzarini should be chiefe of the Councill and if any place should become void that the Queen should supply it by advise of the Councell and all other important charges of the Kingdome to be so disposed by plurality of votes Only for all Ecclesiasticall preferments which belonged to his nomination he left the providing for their supply to the Queen and the Cardinall Mazzarini of whose worthy discharging this trust he had good reason to rest most assured by the eminent proofs which he had had of the faithfulnesse and great sufficiency of the person In fine he ordained that the Queen and the Duke of Orleans should swear in the presence of him and of the Princes of the Blood with the other Princes Dukes Peers Mareschals of France and Officers of the Crowne to keep and observe the Contents of the present declaration without any manner of Contravention Which was accordingly subscribed and sworne at the same instant by the Queen and Duke of Orleans and sealed before the rest and accordingly next day ratified in the Parliament in presence of the Duke of Orleans the Prince of Condè and the other Princes and Officers Given at S. Germans in the month of April 1643. and of his raign the 33. Which declaration being read the King gave free liberty to all the exiles of the Court or State against whom no Sentence had been given to make their return and commanded corriers to be sent to some more remote that they might have timely notice and his Majesty had content before his death to receive the Duke of Vendosma the Mareschaux de Bassompierre and d' Estree and divers others into his grace If a man might be politique before the proofe of events this act of State might be a subject of strange descantings but if we can content our selves with such conjectures as best please us till the Regency begin to take place we may better guesse at the true interests of the parties concerned by this deed of the true interest of the Crown His majesty having now freed his thoughts of this care tooke pleasure to order a private ceremony in the chappell of S. Germans appointing the baptisme of the D●uphin by the name of Lovis and the Princes of Condè with the Cardinall Mazzarini on whom the King would conferre this honour as he himselfe said to oblige him the more streightly to serve the King and the Crown to present him to the font that so with the powerfull cords of interest he might as much as in him lay twist an artificiall kind of nature making him the Compater or Spirituall Father of that Prince in the forming of whose youth he might now seem to claime a priviledg with the Queen To both which and to all his other officers and nobles having so effectually recommended his State and childrem what more could remain to such a Prince but to die in the arms of that Honour that had ever lived with him and to deserve those characters in which a terser pen then mine ha's designed him And so I leave him in the way to his funerall pomp which a while after followed with great Solemnity 〈◊〉 Errata quod sic corr.
