Eugl. I could tell you a Story of Lewis, but I had rather tell one of our Maximilian, who as he was far from hiding his Money in the Ground, so he was very generous to those that had spent their Estates, if they were nobly descended.  He being minded to assist a young Gentleman, that had fallen under these Circumstances, sent him on an Embassy to demand an hundred thousand Florins of a certain City, but I know not upon what Account.  But this was the Condition of it, that if he by his Dexterity could make any more of it, it should be his own.  The Embassador extorted fifty thousand from ’em, and gave Caesar thirty of ’em. Caesar being glad to receive more than he expected, dismisses the Man without asking any Questions.  In the mean Time the Treasurer and Receivers smelt the Matter, that he had receiv’d more than he had paid in; they importune Caesar to send for him; he being sent for, comes immediately:  Says Maximilian, I hear you have receiv’d fifty thousand.  He confess’d it.  But you have paid in but thirty thousand.  He confess’d that too.  Says he, You must give an Account of it.  He promis’d he would do it, and went away.  But again he doing nothing in it, the Officers pressing the Matter, he was call’d again; then says Caesar to him, A little While ago, you were order’d to make up the Account.  Says he, I remember it, and am ready to do it. Caesar, imagining that he had not settled it, let him go again; but he thus eluding the Matter, the Officers insisted more pressingly upon it, crying out, it was a great Affront to play upon Caesar at this Rate.  They persuaded the King to send for him, and make him balance the Account before them. Caesar agrees to it, he is sent for, comes immediately, and does not refuse to do any Thing.  Then says Caesar, Did not you promise to balance the Account?  Yes, said he.  Well, says he, you must do it here; here are some to take your Account; it must be put off no longer.  The Officers sat by, with Books ready for the Purpose.  The young Man being come to this Pinch, replies very smartly; Most invincible Caesar, I don’t refuse to give an Account, but am not very well skilled in these Sort of Accounts, never having given any; but these that sit here are very ready at such Accounts.  If I do but once see how they make up such Accounts, I can very easily imitate them.  I entreat you to command them but to shew me an Example, and they shall see I am very docible. Caesar perceived what he meant, but they, upon whom it was spoken did not, and smiling, answered him, you say true, and what you demand is nothing but what is reasonable:  And so dismissed the young Man.  For he intimated that they used to bring in such Accounts to Caesar as he had, that is, to keep a good Part of the Money to themselves.
