A40765	A Faithful account of the renewed persecution of the churches of Lower Aquitaine in France in the year 1692 to which is prefixed a parallel between the ancient and new persecutors, or the portraicture of Lewis XIV in some of his cruelties and barbarities : with some reflections upon the unreasonable fondness of a certain party amongst us, for the French king.		1692 (1692)	Wing F263; ESTC R31494	23,131	32

a_o charge_n such_o a_o army_n must_v needs_o be_v to_o the_o french_a people_n for_o their_o king_n have_v not_o as_o yet_o as_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o find_v the_o philosopher_n stone_n it_o be_v their_o blood_n and_o the_o sweat_n of_o their_o brow_n i_o mean_v their_o money_n that_o must_v maintain_v this_o prodigious_a number_n of_o soldier_n the_o tool_n use_v for_o their_o slavery_n and_o the_o unconfined_a ambition_n of_o their_o prince_n the_o bare_a list_n of_o the_o tax_n impose_v upon_o they_o by_o this_o present_a king_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o volume_n therefore_o i_o must_v forbear_v a_o particular_a relation_n of_o they_o but_o to_o give_v you_o a_o true_a idea_n of_o the_o number_n and_o heaviness_n of_o those_o imposition_n let_v i_o only_o observe_v to_o you_o what_o be_v the_o annual_a revenue_n of_o lewis_n the_o xith_o who_o sufficient_o invade_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o people_n and_o that_o of_o lewis_n the_o xiiith_o and_o afterward_o we_o shall_v see_v what_o that_o of_o the_o present_a french_a king_n amount_v to_o the_o annual_a revenue_n of_o lewis_n the_o xith_o be_v four_o million_o and_o seven_o hundred_o thousand_o liver_n but_o that_o sum_n be_v find_v too_o heavy_a upon_o the_o nation_n in_o his_o son_n king_n charles_n the_o viiith_o his_o reign_n his_o revenue_n at_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o state_n of_o parliament_n assemble_v at_o tours_n be_v reduce_v to_o two_o million_o five_o hundred_o thousand_o liver_n but_o since_o that_o time_n the_o revenue_n of_o the_o king_n of_o france_n have_v prodigious_o increase_v as_o those_o prince_n insatiable_a thirst_n after_o the_o slavery_n of_o their_o people_n insomuch_o that_o the_o late_a king_n lewis_n the_o xiiith_o his_o revenue_n amount_v to_o five_o and_o fifty_o million_o of_o liver_n but_o that_o sum_n be_v then_o think_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o be_v high_o exorbitant_a the_o french_a nation_n complain_v very_o much_o of_o the_o hard_a usage_n they_o receive_v from_o their_o king_n but_o what_o will_v they_o give_v now_o to_o have_v such_o a_o one_o since_o even_o his_o exorbitance_n be_v tolerable_a nay_o easy_a and_o gentle_a in_o comparison_n with_o that_o of_o their_o present_a oppressor_n for_o as_o the_o world_n be_v say_v to_o refine_v every_o day_n upon_o we_o and_o much_o to_o exceed_v the_o ancient_n so_o this_o french_a king_n find_v such_o a_o sum_n too_o little_a for_o his_o vast_a project_n and_o design_n have_v through_o a_o most_o transcendent_a refinedness_n in_o politic_n contrive_v a_o thousand_o way_n to_o drain_v his_o people_n purse_n and_o have_v attain_v to_o such_o a_o singular_a and_o masterly_a perfection_n in_o this_o art_n that_o now_o his_o annual_a revenue_n according_a to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o royal_a treasure_n amount_n to_o near_a a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o million_o and_o if_o we_o take_v into_o consideration_n this_o prodigious_a sum_n together_o with_o what_o come_v to_o the_o clergy_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v surprise_v at_o the_o miserable_a condition_n of_o the_o french_a nation_n especial_o in_o this_o time_n of_o war_n for_o want_v of_o trade_n 3._o i_o hope_v the_o french_a king_n be_v very_o like_a to_o the_o persecutor_n of_o lactantius_n as_o to_o the_o two_o precede_a character_n let_v we_o see_v now_o if_o he_o come_v short_a of_o they_o in_o the_o three_o viz._n in_o want_n of_o courage_n or_o at_o least_o in_o show_v more_o care_n than_o be_v decent_a to_o preserve_v himself_o from_o all_o danger_n i_o must_v confess_v the_o parallel_n be_v not_o very_o exact_a in_o this_o particular_a for_o this_o french_a king_n go_v beyond_o they_o all_o in_o baseness_n and_o downright_a cowardice_n i_o read_v in_o the_o roman_a history_n that_o dioclesian_n though_o vicious_a and_o a_o persecutor_n show_v nevertheless_o some_o courage_n in_o a_o battle_n against_o carinus_n his_o competitor_n and_o in_o reduce_v aquileus_n one_o of_o his_o general_n who_o have_v cause_v himself_o to_o be_v proclaim_v emperor_n in_o in_o egypt_n that_o maximian_n surname_v the_o herculian_a have_v be_v present_a in_o several_a battle_n and_o rencounter_n and_o that_o galerius_n maximian_n rout_v narseus_n king_n of_o the_o persian_n in_o a_o bloody_a battle_n in_o armenia_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o those_o action_n if_o they_o have_v be_v tax_v with_o baseness_n and_o pusillanimity_n by_o lactantius_n and_o other_o writer_n what_o must_v we_o say_v of_o the_o french_a king_n he_o that_o never_o have_v the_o courage_n to_o command_v his_o army_n in_o a_o day_n of_o battle_n and_o who_o have_v never_o besiege_v any_o town_n till_o after_o he_o have_v make_v the_o bargain_n sure_a for_o it_o 4._o i_o have_v say_v that_o the_o primitive_a persecutor_n be_v so_o weak_a as_o to_o be_v fond_o please_v with_o the_o most_o excessive_a flattery_n can_v be_v make_v they_o and_o assume_v undeserved_o the_o most_o glorious_a title_n even_o some_o to_o blasphemy_n itself_o and_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v in_o this_o place_n that_o the_o french_a king_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v inferior_a to_o they_o in_o this_o point_n no_o more_o than_o in_o the_o former_a he_o have_v assume_v the_o title_n of_o great_a which_o never_o man_n before_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o life_n time_n he_o have_v take_v the_o sun_n for_o his_o emblem_n with_o this_o proud_a motto_n nec_fw-la pluribus_fw-la impar_fw-la to_o signify_v that_o he_o be_v the_o phaeniz_n of_o the_o world_n and_o true_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_n on_o it_o not_o however_o in_o his_o opinion_n but_o only_o in_o i_o for_o i_o steadfast_o believe_v there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v equal_v he_o in_o so_o many_o bad_a quality_n he_o have_v suffer_v his_o statue_n to_o be_v set_v up_o in_o public_a place_n and_o to_o be_v harangued_a by_o academy_n and_o corpse_n de_fw-fr ville_fw-fr which_o be_v their_o common_a council_n and_o to_o be_v represent_v as_o lording_n it_o over_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o sea_n but_o the_o most_o blasphemous_a of_o all_o be_v that_o of_o the_o place_n call_v des_fw-fr victoirs_fw-fr where_o one_o may_v see_v he_o crown_v by_o victory_n trample_v heresy_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n represent_v by_o four_o slave_n chain_v to_o the_o pedastal_n with_o this_o impious_a motto_n viro_fw-la immortali_fw-la the_o immortal_a man._n this_o have_v be_v think_v so_o blasphemous_a even_o to_o father_n menestrier_n though_o a_o most_o egregious_a flatterer_n himself_o that_o in_o his_o history_n of_o this_o french_a king_n by_o the_o medal_n he_o have_v be_v ashamed_a to_o relate_v this_o motto_n in_o the_o description_n he_o give_v of_o that_o place_n i_o can_v quote_v a_o thousand_o other_o instance_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o i_o must_v forbear_v for_o fear_v of_o be_v too_o tedious_a however_o i_o hope_v the_o reader_n will_v not_o take_v it_o amiss_o if_o i_o show_v he_o how_o mounseur_fw-fr pelisson_n one_o of_o the_o academy_n of_o paris_n speak_v of_o his_o master_n in_o a_o panegyric_n pronounce_v by_o he_o and_o which_o be_v print_v
