[Footnote 28: Cayet, Hist. de la guerre sous le règne de Henry IV., i.
248. We shall see that Francis carried out the same ideas of absolute
authority in his dealings both with reputed heresy and with the Gallican
Church itself. He seems even to have believed himself commissioned to do
all the thinking in matters of religion for his more intellectual
sister; for, if Brantôme may be credited, when Constable Montmorency, on
one occasion, had the temerity to suggest to him that all his efforts to
extirpate error in France would be futile until he began with Margaret
of Angoulême, Francis silenced him with the remark: "No more on that
subject! She loves me too much; she will never believe anything but what
I desire." Femmes illustres: Marguerite, reine de Navarre.]

[Footnote 35: The formula is worthy of attention: "Quand on vous
apportera à sceller quelque lettre, signée par le commandement du Roi,
si elle n'est de justice et raison, ne la scellerez point, encore que
ledit Seigneur le commandast par une ou deux fois; mais viendrez devers
iceluy Seigneur, et lui remonstrerez tous les points par lesquels ladite
lettre n'est pas raisonnable, et après que aura entendu lesdita points,
s'il vous commande la sceller, la scellerez, car lors le péché en sera
sur ledit Seigneur et non sur vous." In full in M. de Saint-Allais, De
l'ancienne France (Paris, 1834), ii. 91; see also Capefigue, François
Premier et la Renaissance, i. 106.]
