THE French King's DECLARATION For Settling the General Poll-Tax Together with His EDICT ORDERING All Communities both Regular and Secular and all particular Persons who have any Water from Rivers Brooks Springs and Fountains or otherwise whether for the Ornament of their Houses or the Improving of their Estates to pay such Sums as shall be impos'd upon them in Council in order to have the Benefit of the said Waters confirm'd to them for the future Given at Fountain-bleau Octob. 1694. and Recorded in Parliament LONDON Printed for Richard Baldwin near the Oxford-Arms in Warwick-Lane 1695. THE PREFACE THE following Edicts being Extraordinary both for the Matter and Manner It 's presum'd that the Translation may not only be Grateful to the Curious who don't understand them in the Original but useful to the Publick that they may see the difference betwixt a Legal and Tyrannical Government The disparity of the Stile in these two Edicts is very Remarkable That for the Tax on Water demands it as a Royal Prerogative and Right but for such Reasons as will sooner move Laughter than Choler in any but his own Subjects who have cause indeed to be afraid of that severe Innuendo that they are fineable for having made use of the Water without his Royal License when they consider that he who hath been so often guilty of breaking the most Sacred and Solemn Treaties with his Superiours and Equals will never be tied to keep Promise to his Subjects any longer than Opportunity or Necessity affords him a Pretence to do otherwise Then as for the Edict imposing the Poll-Tax it is every whitt as sneaking as the other is haughty He ushers it in with a flattering and Romantick Prooemium and to make his Subjects digest it the better insinuates that the Envy and Ambition of the Allies hath occasion'd this War tho' it be justly chargeable on his own Usurpations and that their Obstinacy is the Cause of its Continuance whereas it is his own Pride and Injustice but being sensible of the Risk which he runs by continual Incroachments on his Peoples Liberties he finds himself under a Necessity to fawn sometimes as well as to Hector at others and therefore hopes that his Nobility and Gentry who are so prodigal of their Blood won't be niggardly of their Money c. He is sensible of the Nobilities Pretensions to be exempted from this Poll and what Reason his Souldiery have to Grumble that they who spend their Blood in the War should also be taxed to maintain it and therefore finds himself obliged to give soft words at least such is the difference betwixt Dominion founded on the Love of the Subject and that maintain'd by Tyranny and Force How great is the odds betwixt the Authority of an Act of Parliament and the Edict of the most Absolute and Imperious Monarch How chearfully do Subjects obey the one and with what Regret are they forc'd to submit to the other How much greater Reason have we in England to pay what is charg'd on us by Law for maintenance of our Liberties than our Neighbours of France have to pay that which is arbitrarily demanded to support one who tyrannizes over their Souls and Bodies And why should we repine at paying for our Beer when our Neighbours are forced to pay for their Water This is judg'd sufficient by way of Preface the Edicts themselves being so plain that he who runs may read in how much better Condition we are than the French seeing no Money can be levied upon us without our own consent Whence it comes to pass that we have not only wherewith to maintain our selves at Home but Money to spare to make us redoubtable Abroad whereas they have scarcely any thing left to be taken from them and cannot plead a Property in that poor Remainder but must surrender it at the Will of their Prince whenever his Ambition or Necessity requires it And that the latter is very great needs no better Demonstration then that he who never us'd to accost his Subjects in any other Dialect than We Will and Command is now forc'd to make use of Arguments and Intreaties to move and perswade which comes far short of that August Stile Be it enacted by the King 's most Excellent Majesty with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in Parliament assembled and as it comes short of the Authority will come as short of the Effects THE KING of FRANCE HIS DECLARATION For the Establishing of a POLL-TAX LEWIS by the Grace of God King of France and Navarre to all whom these Presents shall come Greeting Since the Glory of Our State and the Prosperities wherewith it has pleased God to bless Our Reign have excited the Envy of most of the Powers of Europe and engaged them to make a League in order to wage an Injust War against Us the sincerity of Our Intention and the Advantages We have Yearly got over them putting Us still in hopes of a speedy Peace We have endeavour'd in order to repel the Efforts of the States in League against Us to make use of no other Means but such as were least burthensom to our Subjects In order thereunto we have alienated Rents of which we have assign'd the Payment on Our Ordinary Revenues and Created Offices the Sallaries of which are set down on the Settlements of Our Finances And if in the Sequel We have been obliged to make use of some other Means which have been more burthensom to Our People it was only because it was absolutely necessary to settle and fix such Funds as were requisite for the weal of Our State But the Obstinacy of Our Enemies who seem to be insensible of their Losses and who far from being concern'd at the Misery of the People seem even to take an Advantage at the Inclination We express towards a Peace giving Us a Prospect of the Continuance of the War and obliging Us to prepare for it We are in hop's to make all Europe sensible that the Forces of France are Inexhaustible when they are well managed and that We have certain reserves in the Hearts of Our Subjects and in their Zeal for their King's Service and for the Glory of the French Nation Confiding in this We have resolved in order to put Our self in a Condition to maintain the Expences of the War as long as the blindness of Our Enemies will incline them to refuse a Peace to establish a general Poll-Tax to be paid during the time of the War only by all Our Subjects without any distinction by Hearths or by Families And We are the more inclined to look on this Mean as safe and effectual seeing that the most zealous and most knowing of Our Subjects of the Three Orders which compose this State seem to have prevented Our Resolution and moreover that the Estates of Languedoc being assembled according to the usual Custom after having granted the free Gift of Three Millions which We had desired

THE French King's EDICT ORDERING A TAX UPON All RIVERS BROOKS SPRINGS FOVNTAINS c. LEWIS by the Grace of God King of France and Navarre To all who are present and to come Greeting The Distribution Conducting and Ordering of the Waters derived from Streams and Rivers Navigable or not Navigable and others which run either through the Jurisdiction of Our Demain or through the publick Roads within the Extent of Our Kingdom being one of Our principal Rights of Royalty or Demain the Kings Our Predecessors took a particular care to prevent their being Usurp'd In the mean time We are inform'd that divers of Our Subjects have in Contravention to our Orders let out or turn'd off the Water of Navigable Rivers and Streams and have moreover taken the Liberty to convey the Waters of the said Rivers Navigable and not Navigable Brooks Springs Fountains and others through the great Roads Streets and publick Places the Property of which belongs unto us which occasions a prejudice so much the more considerable that by these Enterprises they alter the Course of Navigation and deprive the Publick of the benefit which they might reap from the same and that they do many times also render the Ways unpassable by overflowing of the same which does also oblige Us to be at the Expence of Ditches for maintaining the Canals and augments Our Yearly Charge for keeping up of Our Bridges and Causeys We are also inform'd that divers particular Persons or Communities have let out turn'd off or stop'd the Waters of Rivers Navigable or not Navigable and Brooks Springs and Fountains in the Extent of those Lands whose high Jurisdiction appertains to Us without having obtain'd any Permission from Us. These Considerations prevail'd with Henry II. to enquire into such Usurpations and for that effect did expedite his Letters Patents in 1549 by which amongst other things it is expresly forbid that any particular Persons should have Water except the same be alienated for their Use on
