dexterity with which he exhibited two
different views of his policy to two different parties he was afterwards
bitterly reviled by the Court of Saint Germains. "Licet Foederatis
publicus ille preado haud aliud aperte proponat nisi ut Galici imperii
exuberans amputetur potesias, veruntamen sibi et suis ex haeretica faece
complicibus, ut pro comperto habemus, longe aliud promittit, nempe ut,
exciso vel enervato Francorum regno, ubi Catholicarum partium summum
jam robur situm est, haeretica ipsorum pravitas per orbem Christisnum
universum praevaleat."--Letter of James to the Pope; evidently written
in 1689.]

account is strongly confirmed by what Bonrepaux wrote to Seignelay,
Sept. 12/22 1687. "Il (Sunderland) amassera beaucoup d'argent, le roi
son maitre lui donnant la plus grande partie de celui qui provient des
confiscations on des accommodemens que ceux qui ont encouru des peines
font pour obtenir leur grace."]
