Event Details
According to advices from Paris, the King did not suppress the late Remonstrances of the Parliament of Toulouse because he disapproved of their matter and style, but because they were published in print, which he thought imprudent; though they contained fit matter for the Monarch, they bore too hard upon the Clergy for refusing Sacraments to suspected Jansenists, making them unfit for public perusal as tending to impair respect for spiritual guides, whom he would keep within duty without exposing their rashness, ignorance, and blind zeal for the Constitution Unigenitus.
