of Great Britain as soon as he read these pernicious Maximes lookt upon one of the Colberts then here Ambassador angrily saying He well perceived that France did not coaks him but to destroy him But that they bragg'd that Colbert put it handsomely off by saying That this Book was composed by Lisola the German and to defame France which incited the Curious to Examine whether that were true or not but they found that the stile and manner was quite different and that these Maximes were but for the advantage of France alone This Manuscript of the French Politician had lain long in the French Kings Cabinet whence an Officer was found to have stollen a Copy of it then it was printed clandestinely and care was taken for the suppressing it But to evince it more closely and undeniably that that Book with the other which I quoted above came out of the French Mint that 's out of their Cabinets I 'll manifest it by their late Practice in every one of those Maximes that are set down in the French Politician It 's true that Mareschal Villeroy a great Statesman was wont to reduce the main Stratagems by which they wheadled their Neighbours to these two Par Finance Finesse that is by Money and Cunning and Conney too which is one of their chief Nets to catch their Neighbours in But to come to particulars Their chief Artifices for dividing and undermining their Friends may be reduced to these following 1. By Sinons or pretended Fugitives 2. By Pentioners in our Councils 3. By Alliances and French Ladies 4. By breaking open and diciphering our Secretess Letters 5. By sending Auxiliaries that favour our Enemies 6. By Ambiguous Treaties to gain time and advantage of breaking them 7. By spreading Slaunders and fomenting Jealousies betwixt the Kings and their People 8. By entertaining a secret League with the Turk Now to begin with those more general and remote means which France takes to divide her Neighbours in their Leagues and Amity She usually calls in the Turk upon the back of 'em and this most Christian King will not stick to enter into secret Covenants with that Antichristian Tyrant against the rest of Christendom I need not mount up so high as Francis the I. Henry the II. and other their Successors who openly brought in the Turk against Charles the V. and other Emperors publick Histories can bear me Witness in it Rincon and Fregose were taken by the way seized with Instructions from Francis the I to Soliman to excite this Infidel to War against the Christian Princes and when any of Francis his Neighbours would upbraid him with such Antichristian Treacheries he could put it off but with a Drollery What says he May not I when beset with Wolves call in for Dogs to help me But to come to our times What made the French to be the occasion of the loss of Candia and to yield the advantage at Gigerys and Hongary but for to manage the Turkish Amity to oppose him to the Emperor if he proffers to stir or to enter into Tripple League They sent some Supplies 't is true to dazzle the World but when La Feuillade who knew not the Secret brought his Men to an Engagement he was opposed by Coligny who had Orders to do things but for a shew Besides the King sent Counter Orders with some of the major Officers which they were to read but when they came to Candia Monsieur De Louvas hindred many of the most valiant and considerable Officers Gentry and Soldiers to go thither even as Voluntiers In fine The Divisions Counter-seasons and wilful Misunderstandings of the French with their Allies in that occasion did more to the loss of the City than the Batteries of the Turks who had spent some score years in vain toward the Conquest of that place but could never get it out of the Venetians single hands till these double-dealing French Friends came into help more toward the losing of it than the maintaining it so that the Venetians might have had more reason to send back these French Supplies than they had in returning home Prince Almerick of Modena's Succours upon some such suspicion And the Turkish Embassador a thing very unusual to be sent from the Ottoman Grandeur who afterwards was dispatch'd to the French Court unriddles the Matter and though the King made the difficile and scornful with him yet he sent Orders to caress him and make much of him in secret as looking upon the Mahumetans to be one of the chief Supporters of his Crown and State And as the French will be Friends with the Turks to use 'em against their Enemies so with those they pretend openly to help as their Friends they deal as with Turks in effect by underhand Conspiracies I mean in their Auxiliary Supplies to their Allies Their Succours tend but to leave 'em in the lurch to be desroyed by their Concurrents that when he hath ingaged the Frog and silly Mouse to a Fight to weaken the one the other he the French Kite might the more easily snatch 'em both away in his greedy Talons Besides what we alledged above of his treacherous Auxiliaries to Hongary and Candia we may intimate those he sent some years ago to help Holland against the Bishop of Munster and a little afterwards on the same Claims sets Munster again Holland and when it came to the push leaves him to the mercy of the Hollander all he sought for being but to seek to destroy these two Supporters of Flanders the one by the Hands of the other His Design was the same touching England when of late he sent his Fleet to assist us against Holland with secret Orders to d'Estree to leave the English and Hollander to destroy each other While France both at the Treaty of the Pirenees and afterwards had sworn a firm Offensive and Defensive League with Spain they underhand sought to weaken their Allies by sending men and money with Colbert Schomberg and under Turenne's Name as Voluntiers to the Portuguezes till a Ship that was taken by the Spaniards happily discovered that the Portuguezes were stirred up and incouraged by the French in their Attempts against the Catholick King France by reason of a French Princess seemed to be the greatest Friend in the World to Poland but to shew what Friendship that was they manage with Swedeland that Treaty of Stumdorff seemingly in favour to the Polanders but in effect very prejudicial to them and in the mean time Avagour Lombres and Bezieres are imployed to set these Crowns together by the Ears and to perswade King Cazimer of Poland to lay down his Crown to make way for Conde Newburg or for some other Votary of France Moreover while this coaksing Nation did hugg the Emperour he finds such Papers in the taking of Muran a Fortress in the Vpper Hungaria which manifestly shewed that the French had in the mean time incouraged the Hungarians in this Rebellion 3.
