about eleven o'clock at night, near the abbey of
St. Denis, at another time in disguise in the cloisters of the
Augustinian friars, and had much to say about his satisfaction "that he
had so good a colleague" as Elizabeth "in so good a cause." But the
diplomatic correspondence does not show a single step which Navarre ever
ventured to take in behalf of that "good cause." See Throkmorton's
despatch of Aug. 25th, Forbes, State Papers, i. 213, 214.]

[Footnote 765: "Navarrus ad quem jure ipso et more majorum hactenus
inviolata pertinebat regni administratio, quamvis a plerisque Ecclesiis
salutatus et rogatus ne tam praeclaram et divinitus oblatam occasionem
negligeret, quamvis summo et aperto ludibrio a Guisianis exceptus, tamen
omnibus annuit et suo exemplo confirmavit Christi dictum; Difficile est
divitem ingredi in regnum coelorum." Beza to Bullinger, Sept. 12,
1559, _apud_ Baum, ii., App., 1, 2; La Place, 27; La Planche, 213-216;
De Thou, ii. 686, 687.]

[Footnote 766: Held Sept. 18th. See a description in Forbes, State
Papers, i. 232. Navarre, as one of the six temporal peers, represented
the Duke of Burgundy; Guise represented the Duke of Normandy; Nevers,
the Duke of Guyenne, etc.]

[Footnote 767: La Planche, 218; De Thou, ii. 688. That the promise of
assistance was only given in order to frighten Navarre was patent to all
who were cognizant of Philip's projected African campaign.]

[Footnote 768: De Thou (ii. 722, 723) gives an account apparently
correct, save in one or two particulars, of these two missions. The
slavish letter of Antoine to D'Audoz or D'Odoux, as De Thou writes the
name of the second messenger, may be read in the Negociations relatives
au regne de Francois II. (drawn from the papers of the Bishop of
Limoges, French ambassador to Philip, and published by the French
government, under the editorial care of M. Paris, 1841), pp. 164-166.
