any Officers in Flanders which yet would have been contrary to the orders of the King of Spaine my Sonne in Law the good entertainment I received from the Master would in my opinion have covered the errour of the Servants And although peradventure it would not have taken away my ressentiment of it yet discretion would have taught me to have concealed it Neither shall it ever be sayd that any such thing falls from me But rather expressions of the entire satisfaction I received from the King of Spain my Sonne in Law And at my departure from the Hague I dispatched an expresse to my Nephew the Cardinall Infante to testifie to him my Acknowledgements and to let him understand my intention of comming out of the Low-Countries which is the same wherein this day I persist and which I will cleerely expresse to conclude this Declaration My end neither was nor is in all these proceedings any other then my reconciliation with the King my Son To the effecting of which those meanes which would seeme hard and troublesome to persons of my quality shall be pleasant and easie to me Nor doe I accompt it of the number of those painefull means to affect those whom he honors with his principall trust I will do that willingly though they give me no cause and am resolved to omit nothing no not that which I shall know to be in vaine to gaine the friendship of the King my Sonne It would be a happines precious to me yet due by so many just Titles that I hold my selfe as blameles for the pretending to it as innocent of the least ambition thereby to partake of the Government Nor should I pardon my selfe if I had any temptation of that nature and withall if I held not that authority as unusefull for my particular happines as I esteem the love of the King my Sonne necessary to my present contentment And it will be easie to beleeve that I am of this opinion if the present may be judged by what is past and to that end it may be considered how I behaved my selfe during my regency wherein I made use of it and with what Spirit I governed when through my misfortune and that of France in loosing the late King my Lord I was ingaged to imploy my care and diligence to uphold the publique affaires which were then in eminent danger And when the Common Vote and consent of the states of the Kingdome had committed to my care the fortune of the State I think I so forgot my own that even Slander and my enemies together never dreamed to lay to my charge that I had any thought of making Advantage of that Authority Nor that Ambition or Interest had upon any occasion a Vote in my private Councells As for the former it cannot be doubted since it is cleere that I never sought in all my Regency other glory then to leave the Kingdome as quiet and florishing under the government of a woman notwithstanding all the troubles that then come upon it as one of the greatest Kings of the world saw it at his death after twelve yeeres of setled peace And as for Interest I dare boldly say without offence to modesty and France cannot without ingratitude deny it that I so ordered the Treasure of my Son that in preserving it I had care of it as of my owne but in expending it I considered it as the goods of another So that at the end of my labours there is nothing left me but the quality of a Mother which God himselfe cannot take from me These actions whereof the publique monuments themselves will be for ever witnesses are the only Trophees which I have erected to my Memory These Actions I say are the only Citadells which I have rais'd to my defence and have built in the heart of the King my Sonne in that of the French and in my owne Conscience But certainly not to deceive my selfe it is upon this last foundation whereon I settle my principall hopes and in all accidents my most solide satisfaction And lastly although it should happen by the secret reasons of Gods Providence that the rest of my days should passe in disgrace and though I should never have before my death the comfort of seeing the King my Sonne yet I will not leave to give him absent as now I doe my continuall blessings And I will finish my life as I now end this Declaration Beseeching God that these my blessings may be as effectuall to him as if I had been ever favourably treated Signed Marie and underneath is written This Declaration hath beene read publikely before the whole Court of the Queen in presence of her Majestie And after it was Signed with her own hand and by her commandement the Originall remaines in the hand of the Vicount FABRONI
