to be governed by any other he is bold haughty and fearless speaks but little and well to purpose constant in his resolutions very secret and judicious The Portugal Ambassadour told him once Sir I shall dispatch this business with your Ministers I have no Ministers Sir replied the King you mean our inferiour Officers At their return from Lions the Cardinals having set some persons aside for whom the King had a particular esteem he said in the presence of several of his Gentlemen who have often affirmed it to me The Cardinal does all what he pleases and I suffer it because of the good services he has rendred me but my turn will come to be Master one day He covets to imitate his Grandfather nay even to surpass him as himself once testified to Monsieur de Paris who was discoursing of it The King my Grandfather did many great things and has left many great things to do if it please God to let me live twenty years longer I may perhaps do as great if not greater things then he There was never any Prince that knew better how to make himself be respected then this nor to keep every one within his duty and distance all which he effects without any noise or the least appearance of clamour I have also been a witness of his patience upon a trial which would have lost it self in any other person One afternoon at Fountainbleau he had given order to his Coachman to have his Calesche there about four a clock to go a hunting the whole Court was in a readiness for the sport and it had struck four a long while before by the Clock yet the Kin●● Coach came not The King himself came often to the Balcone to look for him but it was on the stroke of five before the Coach appeared The King going into the Calesche said Coachman I told you I would have the Coach at four a Clock Sir replied the man who had it may be tipled the time away It is but four now The King who knew the contrary said no more but Drive along that 's your best way and never commit the like agen It is averred that he pardons the first offence severely reproves the second but at third he turns them away without remission He requires an inviolable execution of all his Orders when he had given command to seize on Monsieur Fouquet at his coming forth from the Council Monsieur at Artagnan by accident miss'd him for he had not taken his own Sedan but retired in another into a little Alley to give Audience to some certain people Monsieur d'Artagnan very much surprized and fearing Monsieur Fouquet might have some intelligence of the design and make a secret escape immediately sent a Musquettier to give the King notice he was not to be found The King was then writing a Letter about the detection of the said Treasurer to the Queen-Mother at that time at Fountainbleau and the Souldier having told him the news without naming any body Go said the King and tell Artagnan that he must be found and I shall find him well enough And then turning himself towards the Prince 'T is Fouquet Cousen that I intend to seize upon because be withholds all my Revenues and puts me to a thousand troubles to get a little money of him of which he never gives me any account The Prince and all the other Lords were much astonished at this they knowing nothing of it but every one commended the conduct and resolution of his Majesty He is very temperate and was never known to give himself over to the least excess amidst the abundance of his delights and pleasures no more then he does to his anger for all his Power and Authority which plainly shews he is a perfect Master over himself not tainted with any passion that might eclipse his other excellent Qualities Or if there be any Objection against him it is his Frugality but that is inherent to the Family of the Burbons who have ever been noted for great heapers up of Riches But this reproach he hath wiped off very judiciously by saying publickly My Subjects will I hope consider me as a young married man who is about setling his Family and ought to take care of furnishing himself plentifully but within a while they shall find the effects of it for I have a regard to them as well as to my self He understands all his Exercises to the best advantage especially the Mathematicks and the Art of Fortification There is no Officer can command his Troops so distinctly and with so much sweetness He rides the Great Horse very gracefully and skilfully and can use any Weapon with as much dexterity as any Master of those Sciences He Dances admirably and though he wear sometimes a disguize yet his Majestick Garb and Ayr does soon discover him He laughs but seldom and with much moderation and the Jest must be very witty and well placed to gain his approbation however others esteem it In fine it must needs be acknowledged that this Great King hath all the Vertues and Qualifications necessary to command so vast a Kingdom as his is nay so eminently is he endued with them that he is worthy of the whole Worlds Empire there being nothing wanting towards it but his being fully known to all Nations who without doubt would be charmed by his incomparable Vertues and willingly submit themselves to the mildest and best-regulated Empire that was ever yet known to this Great Universe Of the Kings Family THe wise Solomon upon his first advancement to his Fathers Crown built him a House such as the Scripture represents to us of so marvellous a Structure that it invited the Queen of Sheba to come and admire both its greatness and glory and of this puissant King of Lillies under the Conduct of an Illustrious Woman one who is worthy of the Title of Mother of the greatest Monarch in the World I think we may say the same if not more who Reigns at present with so much splendour through the Care and Noble Impressions of that Regent who guided him during his minority and hath seated him on the Throne with so much Pomp and Majesty after she had bestowed an universal Peace The stately building of the Louvre continued with so much heat besides the admirable Structure of a thousand other Royal and Publick Buildings the Iustre of the Throne sustained with so much Judgement the admirable Conduct in the establishment and reglement of the Royal Family the present re-union of the Princes the general Peace which spreads a joy over all the Earth In fine the august and glorious presence of Lewis the Gift of God hath not only attracted a High-born and Wise Queen to come and admire his Greatness but likewise tempts the greatest and noblest part of all Europe besides to behold him whom Fame hath noised all abroad All these I say are Subjects sufficient to be compared to all the Wonders of Antiquity and to
