CHAP. IX. A Copy of the Lord Herbaut's Letter unto this Council.

SIRS,

YOUR Deputies were favourably received by His Majesty, and His Majesty heard with very great satisfaction those Assurances from their Mouths of your Fidelity and sincere intentions to the Pub∣lick Peace and Tranquillity. When His Majesty granted it unto you, it was with a full purpose inviolably to keep it with you, and farther to give you with the injoyment thereof all other matters accorded to you by his Edicts. What remains but that on your part, you contribute whatever His Majesty might expect from your Prudence and Conduct, and to measure by what is past that the duration and firm settlement of your Repose doth principally depend on your Obedience, yielding unto his Majesty what is due unto him, and is necessary for your well-being. And you may believe that in so doing his Gracious Favours will be multiply∣ed upon you dayly, and that I shall be ready to serve you in all good Of∣fices with His Majesty, that you may resent the comfortable Effects thereof according as you have deserved them. In the mean while, I rest, Sirs,

Your most Humble and Affectionate Servant, Philippeaux.

The Superscription was, To my Lords, My Lords the Deputies Assem∣bled by His Majesties permission in a National Synod at Castres.
