  LOVIS , by the grace of God , King of France and Navarre ; To all to whom the present letters shall come , greeting . For about the same time , that the Cardinall Duke of RICHELIEU died in France , the Count-Duke of OLIVAREZ fell in Spain : and that King resolves in like manner to returne his Royall authority on his own person : and so for a few moneths kept his businesse in his owne hands , imparting them with indifferency to his Ministers , and referring their dispatch to severall Councils , where they lay a long time sleeping ; and the King , having lived 22 years in repose , began now to find more unpliancy in his affaires then he expected ; and thereupon to discover some change of his resolution by inclining to a new favorite , which at last riseth with great expectation in the person of D. Lewis de Haró ( nephew of the Count of Castriglio the present Vice-roy of Naples ) who beginning his course almost as soon , ( and without any opposition ) as his corrivall inreputation , may seem to have lost nothing in the setting out .

summary:
  Neglecting this , and having the Persons of Men in Honor , they readily imbraced their Opinions ; and changing the name of Christians , took up that of the Fathers of their Sects , as of Arians , &c. These Divisions and Factions , and the consequent Bloody Wars woud perswade us , that Christ came not indeed , to send peace on Earth , but a Sword ; for , these Ring-leaders imposed upon the credulous Multitude , that al those superinduced new Fangles , Diabolical Inventions , unreasonable Whimsies , and childish Fopperies were the great Pillars and Truths of Religion ; and therefore , to be contended for unto Death ; While in the mean time , they themselves were conscious , that they disputed not for Truth , but Victory , for the sensual Gratifications of Ambition and vain glory , of pride and Interest : and , if you wil but give your self leisure to look into the Controversies of former Heretics , or into those of later date , between the Reformed , and the Church of Rome , &c. you wil find them al on one and the same bottom . I see not therefore , why the Clergy shoud be wholly heark'nd to in this Affair , since 't is really impertinent to the Truth of Religion ; and I dare appeal to all the sober understanding and considerative Men of the Church of England , Whether the Opposition of this be not wholy founded upon Interest , which being but of particular Men , ought not nor wil not ( I hope ) weigh more with the Parliament , than that of the Public , which is so highly concern'd in this matter .

summary:
  I will not incumber my self in the diversity of subjects , which are to be considered by this Rule , and make a disquisition after that of the Stars , the Planets , and of Climats ; for we are upon the discernment of men , without any other pattern , then that of Bodies ; and I pretend to know them distinctly , by Phisiognomy in general ; which is easie to do , by the scope thereof ; that is , to judge of the inclinations , propensions , and drifts of their Spirits , and by the subject ( which is man himself ) guiding our selves by such motions , and inclinations , as are purely Natural . For as on the one side I should be loth to have men say that my writings are full of vanity ; that I am a fool ; or that all my Rules are false ; so am I no less glad on the other , to have ull the falsity fall to the Criticks share , ( if they make anill judgement of me ) rather then one verity against this opinion should be found , either in my tongue or Pen ; and especially in the latter , if I should chance to be so weak , as to be taken tripping in the former :

  The memorialls of Margaret de Valoys, first wife to Henry the fourth, King of France and Navarre compiled in French by her owne most delicate and royall hand : and translated into English by Robert Codrington ...

summary:
  By the advise of Monsieur de Guise , and my Brother the King of Polonia , who since hath been King of France , a counsell was taken to prevent them , a counsell to which King Charles was no way accessary , who loved Monsieur de la Rochefoucault , For this businesse she selected Monsieur the Marshall de Rais , from whom she knew that the King would take it best , as being one to whom the King imputed greatest trust , and one whom he most did favour , who came unto the King about nine or ten of the clock in the Evening , and told him that as his most faithfull servant he could not conceale the danger wherein he was , if he persevered in that resolution to have Justice executed on Monsieur de Guise , and that it was requisite he undestood that the wound which the Admirall received , was not only occasioned by Monsieur de Guise , but that my Brother the King of Polonia since King of France , and the Queen my Mother were both abettors in it ; that he knew the extream displeasure that my Mother received at the assassinate on Charry , as great reason she had for it , having then but few such servants who depended only on her , France being ( as well he knew ) in the time of his nonage divided , the Catholicks standing for Monsieur de Guise , and the Hugunots for the Prince of Conde , both of them attempting to dispossesse him of the Crown , which next to God was not preserved , but by the wisdome and the vigilance of the Queen his Mother , who in her extremity found her not more faithfully assisted by any then by the said Charry , that also she observed that the said Admirall was ever a most dangerous and pernicious member of the State , and whatsoever apparence he made of the affection to his Majesty , and to serve him in his wars in Flanders , his only designe was to trouble France , that her intention indeed was only to take away the Plague of the Kingdome the Admirall , but mischiefe and misfortune so did guide it , that Mauravell missed in his shot , and that the Huguenots thereon were grown so desperately obstinate , that not only attempting against Monsieur de Guise , the Queen his Mother , the King of Polonia his Brother , but believing that he himselfe was consenting to it , they were resolved that night to have their recourse to Armes , insomuch that he saw his Majesty in a great and most apparent danger , by the Catholicks by reason of Monsieur de Guise , and by the Huguenots for the reasons above mentioned .

  An epitome of all the lives of the kings of France From Pharamond the first, to the now most Christian King Levvis the thirteenth. With a relation of the famous battailes of the two kings of England, who were the first victorious princes that conquered France. Translated out of the French coppy by R.B. Esq.

summary:
  But he knowing that the French , that could not containe themselves without a King , and would not admit any to the Title , but those of the Royall blood , knowing also himselfe not so descended , he caused this Clotharius to be Crowned King , as the next of blood ; not that hee thought him worth such a dignity as that of a Kingdome , but for a gaining of authority by this faire pretext , and for the transferring of the Crowne of France by little and little to his Children , which afterwards came to passe . So , that Clotharius the fourth , was made but an imaginary or titulary King , who did not any thing worthy of memory , because hee reigned not above two yeares or little longer : and in the time of his reigne , all France was in great Factions and Divisions , by the reason of so many pretendants to the Office of Maire of the Palace : also that Charles Martel had after him the entire government of the whole Kingdome , and command of all ; insomuch , that he was called , Prince of the French-men , great Master and Governonr of France : And Clotharius had but the bare title of King : which is a cause that Paulus Aemilius , and other Historians have not inserted him into the Catalogue of the Kings of France .
