Long description of the character of Duke Sully by Henry 4th of France: 'his temper harsh, unpatient, obstinate, too enterprizing, presuming too much upon his own opinions... I know also that he has no malignity in his heart, that he is indefatigable in business... I find no-one so capable as he is of consoling me... That he may daily unify his heart and his manners.'
