The Queen Mother continueth her anger against the Cardinal.

THE King had too much knowledge and experience to be moved by all the In∣stances made to him; so that he departed three dayes after, to return to St. John de Morienne. But the Queen Mother was aggrieved thereat, so much the more sensible, by how much shee had earnestly desired to stay him neer her. And the Lord Keeper, who omitted no occasion to exasperate her mind against the Cardi∣nal, raised thence great advantages to infuse into her Spirit new resentments of hatred and anger against him. The displeasure which he conceived in his particular to see the War was carried directly against the Spaniard, whom he had alwayes openly favoured, raised up new inventions in his mind, to stir up the anger of this great Princesse, entertaining her in all those thoughts which might serve to rein∣flame her. The opinion which he had of his own judgment, and of his own thoughts (which he adored as so many revelations) with held him from stooping to the Car∣dinals prudent conduct; Though discretion and the acknowledgment, which he was obliged to shew of that high Honour to which he had raised him, should have per∣swaded him, that he had strong Reasons, importing the good and glory of the Estate, which carried him on to continue the War.
