_Alphonsus_ King of _Aragon_, seeing a Gally full of Soldiers ready to be cast away, commanded she should be succour’d; and as he was slowly obey’d, by reason of the danger, he was going himself to its relief; and because every Body told him what danger he exposed himself to: _Nay_, said he, _I had rather be a sharer than a Spectator of the Death of my Soldiers._ 27 _Alphonse_ Roy d’_Aragon_, voyant qu’une Galere chargée de Soldats perissoit, commanda qu’on l’allat secourir; & comme on tardoit à lui obeïr, a cause du peril, il se mit lui même en ètat de courir à son secours; & sur ce que chacun lui representoit le danger où il s’exposoit! _Ah!_ dit-il, _j’aime mieux être Compagnon que Spectateur de la Mort de mes Soldats._ 28 King _Henry_ the IV, hearing that a famous _Protestant_ Physician had quitted his Religion, and turned _Roman_ Catholick, said to the Duke of _Sully_, who was then with him: _My friend, thy Religion is very desperate, since ’tis given over by the Physicians._ 28 Le Roy _Henri_ IV. apprenant qu’un fameux Medecin _Protestant_ avoit quitté sa Religion pour se faire Catholique _Romain_, dit au Duc de _Sully_ qui ètoit alors avec lui: _Mon Ami, ta Religion est bien malade, car elle est abandonnée des Medecins._ 29 The same King viewing one Day his Arcenal, a Lord askt him whether one could find any Canons in the World as good as those there: _Cods-fish_, answer’d the King, _I never could find better Canons than those of the Church._ 29 Le même Roy visitant un jour son Arcenal, un Seigneur lui demanda si l’on pouvoit trouver au Monde d’aussi-bons Canons que ceux qu’ils voyoient: _Ventre saint gris_, repondit le Roy, _je n’ai jamais trouvé de meilleurs Canons que ceux de la Messe._ 30 As one considered the losses which the City of _Milan_ had occasioned to _France_, he said, It were to be wished that City had been quite destroy’d: _No, no_, said Chancellour _du Prat_, _the War of_ Milan _is like Physick to_ France, _to cleanse her of abundance of lewd and debauched Men that would be apt to infect her_. 30 Comme on consideroit les pertes que la Ville de _Milan_ causoit à la _France_, on dit qu’il seroit à souhaiter que cette Ville là eût été entierement ruinée: _Non, non_, dit le Chancelier du _Prat_; _la Guerre de_ Milan _sert d’une Purgation à la_ France, _pour la nettoyer d’une infinité d’hommes perdus & debauchez, qui la pourroient infecter_. 31
