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

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

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

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

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

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
