sequestred from such as cunningly might suggest them unto her that she abide for a while in our Towne of Compiegne untill such time as her spirit bee lenified and so well setled that she concur with the sincerity which heretofore she hath used to such Counsels as we shall undertake hereafter for the good of our State As you shall see more particularly by our Letters written to our Court of Parliament vnto which referring our selfe wee will adde nothing here further but onely to will you that you impart this businesse to such of our Servants as you shall thinke fittest And so we pray God have you in his keeping Written at Compeigne Febr. 23. 1631. Signed LEWIS And underneath PHELYPEAVX The Superscription To Monsieur Freinuille one of our Councellors of State and Chiefe President in our Court of Parliament at Rouen To the Court of Parliament c. By the King TRustie and welbeloved We supposed we had cause to hope that those many trauels which for certaine yeeres together we have continually undergone for the good of this State which God hath committed to our charge should have beene well lik'd and seconded by all them that are about us Notwithstanding we marvaile much that having brought downe the Rebellion of Rochell and all other the Townes her adherents re-established the Catholike Religion in all Provinces of our Realme as also twice holpen our Allyes in Italy and returned with such advantages as have put us in so good plight that we need not envie any of our predecessors That now certaine domesticall dissentions plotted by the mischievous spirits of some particular men whilst we were altogether busied in those important affaires whereof we have seene the successe should hinder us from enjoying that tranquility which with good reason we might expect and from procuring thereby that good to our Subjects which we desire Vnderstanding well this mischiefe which is so much the more sensible unto us in that for the present it deprives us of the fruit of all our care and paines which have never any other ends but the ease of our people which we have continually in our heart as the principall scope of all our designes Wee have forgot nothing which hath beene possible on our part to give remedy thereto And because they have exasperated the Queene our most honoured Lady and Mother against our deare and welbeloved Cousin the Cardinall of Richelieu There remaines no intreaty which we have not made nor prayer nor supplication which we have not used nor any consideration publike nor private which we have not set before her to asswage her spirit Our said Cousin likewise acknowledging his duty to her in all manner of respects hath done whatever he could to satisfie her submitting himselfe with all possible humility and all imaginable respects to such Lawes as shee her selfe should be pleased to prescribe him which we have likewise many times offered with our owne mouth This reverence which he hath ever had towards her notwithstanding she hath divers times prayed and pressed us that wee would thinke it good to remove him from the mannaging of our affaires which the utility of his past services and the interest of our Authority would not so much as permit us to thinke of condescending unto On the other side wee have omitted nothing to give content to our most deare and welbeloved Brother the Duke of Orleans insomuch that wee have granted unto them of principall ranke and place about him according to his owne desire more meanes than the state of our Revenue could well beare And of honours likewise beyond that which with reason they could expect Notwithstanding all these they have perswaded him to leave the Court Adjudging that a Personage of his birth and quality being departed from us and at such time as the Queene our said Lady and Mother abode there not without testimony of discontent it would be very hard for us doe what we can to bring our affaires to good issue which wee propose for the prosperity and honour of this Kingdome and the good of our Subjects especially considering the Designes which we have yet abroad For which cause after long patience being arrived at this our Towne of Compeigne to the end that the Queene who of her selfe is wel-disposed being by this meanes sequestred from many bad spirits may the better concur with us by all just and reasonable meanes to stop the course of Factions which arise in our State which thing we have often prayed her by our principall Servants notwithstanding she would not hearken thereto We have therefore to our great griefe at last beene constrained to assay a more powerfull remedy for this mischiefe which wee have found hitherto so refractorie to the most gentle Cures we could apply And understanding that certaine of the Authors of these divisions doe yet continue to cherish them we could not chuse but sequester some of them from our Court and to separate our selfe for a while though with paine unspeakeable from the Queene our deare Mother untill such time as her spirit be lenified and she brought to concur with such sincerity as she hath hertofore done to those Designes which we are to undertake hereafter for the security of this Kingdome from those mischiefes that threaten it now at such time as it ought to reape the fruits of our labors We hope that the goodnes of her nature will shortly reduce her spirit and re-unite it unto us Which wee beg of Almighty God with all our heart and that hee will blesse the good intentions which we have for this State as he hitherto hath done Dated at Compeigne Februar 23. 1631.
