not forborn to renew their Importunities-, their Petitions, and
their Offers of Money,' as often as they found any feafonable
Opportunities to do it. In the Year 1665. Lejley in the
Name of the Emperor took all the care and pains imaginable
for the Reftoration of the Franc if cans to their Rights, pray'd,
pay'd and promis'd Mountains, but all was labour loft. Four
Years after, the (procurator Molino in the Name of the Republic
of Venice undertook their Caufe with the fame Vigour; fo that
the Francifcans had now no other hopes but in the King of
France. To which purpofe they deputed two of their Order
to his Majcfty, who prefented him with Letters of Recom
mendation from Howe, Spain, and the moft part of the Ro
man Catholick Princes, to make ufe of his Credit and Reputa
tion in the Ottoman Court, for the Reftoration of the
into the Sacred Places, from whence they had been expell'd by
the Greeks. But there was no need of a Recommendation to
excite the King in the profecution of fuch a Pious Att, to
which his own Zeal was a fufficient Incentive* Immediately
therefore he wrote to M. de U to iniert the Demands of
thofe Religious Perlons among the Conditions for the renew
ing the Alliance. And after that, both M de la Haye y and M.
de Nointel protefted to 'em feveral times, That they had ex-
prefs Orders not to Treat with the nor to renew the Ar^
tides of Alliance., unlefs they would reftore the Fcancijcans to
the Places they had loft. Neverthelels it appear'd at the end
of April, that an Affair of that Nature might be difpenc'd with

the Cuftody of three or four filly Chappels.

Conjlantinople,M. de laHayc bid 'em reft fatisfi'd ; for that he
underftood fo well the Relblutions of the Prime Minifters of
the 'Port, that they would never renew the Treaty, upon the
Conditions which the King demanded, in regard the Reftora
tion of the Sacred 'Places, upon which the King fo firmly in-
fifted, was an Article the Tort would never grant. To which,
as they inform'd me, they return'd this Anlwet, which inclu
