The Kings departure towards Italy.

THis very consideration drew the Cardinal to advance, with all diligence to Lion, where he soon found what he before suspected; The Duke of Savoys being Guil∣ty of Infidelity, and that he sought for pretences and excuses, that he might not keep his promise with the King, to which he was obliged by the Treaty at Suze: which was, That he should keep open the Passages of Savoy and Piedmont, and furnish the Markets with victuals for the Souldiers in consideration of such wheat and mony, as had been accorded between them, and whereof a good part had been delivered into his Custodie. Of all which the King was advised, whose courage was so sensibly toucht at it, that he presently resolved to set forward in his own person, so that nei∣ther the length of the journey, the extremity of the Ice or Snow, nor the most violent storms of the Winter, were able to divert him from it.
