Note 1238 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
“All things are ruled now by M. d’Anjou, who though young is a most earnest and cruel enemy against the favourers of religion, and has his privy counsellors, the cardinal of Lorraine being the chiefest, and further has his chancellor, who seals all such things as the good old chancellor of the King refuses to seal; who neither for love nor dread would seal anything against the statutes of the realm.”—Ibid., No. 2,178, May 12, 1568. On the whole affair, see ibid., No. 2,177, §2, May 12, 1568.
