A Duke of Guise gave an Example of this to all France; and 'tis what thou oughtest to Preach in the vast Empire of the Mussulmans. This Prince surprized a Villain that would have Assassinated him, who confessed, that the Interest of his Religion (which was that of Calvin) had obliged him to form a Design to take him away, to deliver himself, and those of his Party from so great an Enemy. The Duke, instead of causing him to suffer the Pains due to so black an Enterprise, Pardoned him, contenting himself to tell him, Friend, If thy Religion Obliged thee to Kill me, without hearing me, my Religion Obliges me to give thee thy Life and Liberty, now I have heard thee: Go thy ways, and amend thy self. This Prince was then General of Charles the IX's Army.

Meer Chance brought me acquainted with her, whom I no sooner saw, but was struck with Admiration. She came to Paris the last Year, to sollicit a Law-Suit against a Stranger about an Estate. It was at Court, and in the presence of the King himself that I first saw Daria; she spake to him so sweetly, that she soon obtained what she desired; and at the same instant I felt such inexpressible Passions and Longings after her Acquaintance--Suffer me, my dear Dgnet, to tell thee, that never any Creature made such deep Impressions in the Heart of a Man, as this charming Greek did in mine.
