Prosecution of the History.

HIS Majesty in this Treaty had obtained as much advantage as could be desired against the Duke of Savoy, yet he desired to let him see, or at least some of his party who might relate it to him, that he had power enough to have forced it from him, if he had not done it by fair means. His Majesty laid hold on the oc∣casion, upon Madam, the Princesse of Piedmonts comming to Suze to visit him, he entertained her with a great deal of kindness, according to the particular friend∣ship which he had alwayes for her, and designed that the honour wherewith he treated her, and the Prince of Piedmont then with him might learn him, that he had no reason to ingage so easily with the enemies of France. His Majesty went before her, and causing part of the Army to follow him, he placed the rest in Battalia by the way side, in such places where they might best be seen; that the Prince of Pi∣edmont might with his own eyes behold, that he ought not upon a small occasion, ingage so many of the brave Nobility and resolute Souldiers, to return a second time into his Fathers Country of Savoy, lest they made him pay for all his Treache∣ries together.
