LETTER CVII. To the Cardinal de la Valette.
My LORD,
I Am so much the more pleased at the Surrender of Capelle, which News was brought to me by Monsieur de Cinq-Mars, because this good Success will, in all probability, put you in a way to attain greater Advantages over the Enemy, now your Forces are more at liberty to act, and you are not taken up with any Siege. I hope this, both from the Prosperity of his Majesty's Arms, and from your Prudence; affuring you, that I no less sincerely pray, that the King's Affairs may prosper under your Conduct, than for the Preservation of my own Life; which I shall most willingly sacrifice, at any time, for the Advantage of the King's Service; and to give your Lord∣ship clearer Convictions, that no Man living is with more Sin∣cerity than I am,
Your most humble, &c.
