    now lie in rest, which when he was alive, would have disquieted the
    proudest of us all.  And for THIS TOMB, I assure you it is not so

    Ed. 1707[A] The famous MISSAL, once in the possession of this
    celebrated nobleman, and containing the only authenticated portrait of
    him (which is engraved in the Bibliog.  Decameron, vol. i. p.
    cxxxvii.) is now the property of John Milner, Esq. of York Place,
    Portman Square, who purchased it of the Duke of Marlborough.  The Duke
    had purchased it at the sale of the library of the late James Edwards,

    negative consolation, in finding that the work is RISING in price,
    although its author has long ceased to partake of any benefit
    resulting from it.]

    graced and honoured by the presence of his royal master.  Guicciardini
    calls him “the oracle and right arm of Louis.”  Of eight brothers, whom
    he left behind, four attained to the episcopal rank.  His nephew
    succeeded him as Archbishop.  See also Historia Genealogica Magnatum

It was during the archiepiscopacy of the successor of the nephew of Amboise—­namely, that of CHARLES of BOURBON—­that the Calvanistic persecution commenced.  “Tunc vero coepit civitas, dioecesis, universaque provincia lamentabilem in modum conflictari, saevientibus ob religionis dissidia plusquam civilibus bellis,” &c.  But then the good Archbishop, however bountiful he might have been towards the poor at Roncesvalles, (when he escorted Philip II.’s
