Prosecution of the History.

NOtwithstanding that the Treaty of Peace, and the Renewing of Alliance be∣tween France and England, had been concluded in April, whilst his Majesty was at Suze, yet the final confirmation of it was used to be done by oath, and by extraordinary Ambassadors, interchangeably sent, which Ceremony had been put off, until his Majesties return back to Paris from his Italian-Expedition, and was now performed in September at Fontain-bleau, whither the Lord Esmond came from the King of Britain, for that purpose; The King caused him to be entertained with very great honour, as had been accustomed on such occasions, particularly in∣vited him to dine with him, at his own Table, that day when the Ceremony was cele∣brated. The appointed hour being come, he was conducted into the Church of Bourg, magnificently prepared for that purpose, where the King and all the Princes of the Court wayting on him, hear'd Vespers. At his entrance, he saluted with great respect the King and Queens, after which he took his place in a Scaffold made ready for him. The King made the oath, in his presence, and swore upon the Holy Evangelists, to observe and perform all the Conditions of the Treaty which he had signed. The same oath was made at London the same day, with no lesse Ceremony, by the King of England, in the presence of the Marquis de Chasteauneuf, Extra∣ordinary Ambassador there, forth at purpose.
