indeed, standing on high Terms; but we question

Marquis of Argile, does mightily disavow the insolencies

From Paris, April 14. stilo novo.
Upon the 9 & 10 instant the Parlament assembled,
and then adjourned till the Monday following,
and then meeting again, they were no sooner
set, but they were saluted by a Letter from the
King, prohibiting their Assembly untill the Day
after, intending to appear among them himself in
person. The day being come, his Majesty went
to the Palace, where the Parlament useth to be
held, and there he once again prohibited them
from Assembling. He went thither attended by
the Marshals of Turenne, and la Ferte Seneterre, the
Chancelor of France, the Duke of Candale, and
some other of the great ones. There was last
week a prohibition posted up by Order of the
Provost of Paris, in all the Streets throughout the
City and Suburbs, against Tennis Court keepers
and others that keep Gaminghouses of Cards,
Dice, Billiards, and other Games, seeing the abuse
of such Games is grown to such an height, that it
proves the ruine of many good Families, with
wives and children, by debaucheries, oaths, blasphemies
& imprecations, which are uttred daily
to the great dishonor of the name of God. And
the Officers entrusted are required to give an account
every week of their proceedings in putting
the said Prohibition in execution.
