NOtwithstanding that there was as much clemency in his Majesties, as obstina∣cy in the Queens procedure, yet did she not forbear to lament, and accuse him of cruelty. His Majesty being then no longer able to endure those complaints which she made to all the Princes of Christendom, especially at her Imprisonment,
and being equally desirous to stop her mouth, by withdrawing those forces which happened to be then neer her (not upon the score of guarding her, but for other reasons as hath heretofore been declared) and likewise knowing that it would be a hard matter for her to cause Compiegne to revolt, or to raise any Souldiers therea∣bouts, the principal of the Cabal being either imprisoned or affrighted, did at last resolve to disperse them into other places. The only thing feared was, lest shee should cast her self into the Spaniards hands. His Majesty to make sure of her, as to that particular, first sent to her by the Marshal d' Estree, that he would readily satisfie her, by withdrawing all those forces then in Garison at Compiegne; provi∣ded she would ingage her self not to stir out of the Kingdom. She thereupon passed her word once and again, not to go out of the Kingdom, and the Forces were accordingly drawn off; only his Majesty left part of them, some certain leagues from thence, to prevent the assembling of any souldiers.
