day_n of_o september_n in_o the_o year_n one_o thousand_o six_o hundred_o fifty_o and_o nine_o and_o of_o our_o reign_n the_o seventeen_o sign_v lovis_fw-la and_o a_o little_a low_o phelippeaux_n and_o seal_v at_o the_o low_a end_n with_o the_o great_a seal_n and_o yellow_a wax_n chap._n iii_o after_o read_v his_o majesty_n letter_n patent_n the_o lord_n commissioner_n make_v this_o ensue_a speech_n unto_o the_o assembly_n a_o copy_n of_o the_o lord_n commissioner_n speech_n sir_n although_o my_o many_o defect_n of_o which_o i_o be_o very_o conscious_a and_o my_o great_a age_n may_v have_v well_o deter_v i_o from_o accept_v of_o this_o commission_n with_o which_o it_o have_v please_v his_o majesty_n to_o grace_n and_o honour_v i_o and_o from_o come_v hither_o and_o declare_v his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n unto_o this_o eminent_a assembly_n make_v up_o of_o the_o most_o able_a and_o considerable_a person_n of_o the_o kingdom_n choose_v out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o professor_n of_o our_o religion_n yet_o nevertheless_o i_o can_v bold_o speak_v it_o that_o according_a to_o that_o inclination_n which_o god_n have_v give_v i_o for_o serve_v the_o king_n and_o the_o public_a unto_o which_o i_o have_v apply_v myself_o along_o time_n i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o hesitate_n on_o this_o occasion_n but_o do_v overlook_a all_o other_o consideration_n hope_v for_o supply_n from_o the_o supreme_a goodness_n to_o enable_v i_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o my_o duty_n and_o from_o you_o also_o that_o you_o will_v be_v ready_o dispose_v to_o facilitate_v what_o be_v desire_v of_o you_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o i_o conceive_v with_o joy_n a_o good_a issue_n of_o our_o affair_n even_o now_o when_o as_o i_o begin_v to_o speak_v unto_o you_o from_o his_o majesty_n and_o you_o also_o have_v already_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o in_o that_o grant_v vouchsafe_v you_o for_o your_o assemble_v in_o this_o place_n according_a to_o your_o request_n which_o be_v a_o most_o remarkable_a effect_n of_o his_o majesty_n especial_a favour_n to_o you_o which_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n have_v now_o inspire_v into_o he_o for_o you_o after_o so_o many_o other_o signal_n act_v of_o his_o royal_a bounty_n you_o have_v former_o receive_v from_o he_o for_o which_o i_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o suspect_n or_o question_v your_o gratitude_n and_o duty_n nor_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o obligation_n which_o lie_v upon_o you_o on_o many_o account_n of_o yield_v to_o he_o all_o obedience_n according_a to_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o sole_a and_o sovereign_a lord_n of_o all_o man_n and_o of_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o and_o when_o i_o thus_o speak_v of_o his_o majesty_n you_o know_v very_o well_o that_o we_o must_v understand_v all_o person_n act_v by_o authority_n from_o he_o according_a to_o the_o same_o reveal_v will_n of_o almighty_n god_n and_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o notorious_a we_o can_v but_o observe_v it_o in_o this_o place_n even_o that_o kindness_n and_o justice_n you_o have_v upon_o many_o and_o sundry_a occasion_n have_v proof_n and_o sensible_a experience_n of_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o majesty_n first_o and_o principal_a minister_n of_o state_n his_o eminency_n the_o lord_n cardinal_n mazarin_n nor_o need_v i_o enlarge_v on_o this_o subject_a only_o let_v i_o add_v but_o one_o reflection_n of_o my_o own_o about_o this_o last_o favour_n the_o convocation_n of_o this_o synod_n which_o you_o believe_v to_o be_v at_o this_o time_n so_o needful_a for_o you_o you_o stand_v high_o indebt_v unto_o his_o eminency_n for_o it_o and_o the_o best_a and_o chief_a fruit_n you_o can_v gather_v from_o its_o consultation_n and_o resolution_n will_v be_v this_o to_o be_v more_o unite_v among_o yourselves_o and_o to_o maintain_v in_o peace_n and_o concord_n the_o whole_a body_n of_o those_o of_o our_o religion_n who_o be_v represent_v by_o you_o and_o to_o terminate_v and_o pacify_v those_o difference_n and_o dissension_n which_o be_v among_o you_o for_o since_o they_o be_v produce_v through_o the_o vice_n and_o weakness_n of_o our_o humane_a nature_n and_o state_n and_o begin_v in_o the_o noble_a part_n where_o the_o whole_a body_n receive_v a_o alteration_n we_o may_v very_o much_o fear_v a_o dissipation_n if_o only_a topival_n remedy_n be_v apply_v for_o these_o alone_o do_v seldom_o operate_v or_o contribute_v but_o a_o little_a to_o the_o union_n and_o conservation_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o whereas_o all_o assembly_n of_o whit_n kind_a soever_o do_v depend_v upon_o his_o majesty_n who_o as_o supreme_a lord_n have_v a_o right_a and_o jurisdiction_n over_o all_o person_n and_o action_n and_o to_o ordain_v even_o in_o and_o about_o matter_n concern_v the_o

you_o may_v regulate_v past_a matter_n and_o re-establish_a among_o you_o that_o order_n which_o you_o ought_v to_o keep_v for_o the_o future_a and_o the_o rather_o because_o there_o be_v many_o year_n lapse_v since_o you_o have_v a_o assembly_n of_o this_o nature_n sir_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o your_o enemy_n who_o design_n your_o diminution_n and_o ruin_n can_v never_o meet_v with_o a_o more_o favourable_a mean_n and_o opportunity_n to_o attempt_v it_o than_o by_o maintain_v and_o foment_v your_o division_n and_o dissension_n for_o these_o will_v
