Ezra6:8
Ver. 8. Moreover I make a Decree] So did ſome of the Heathen Emperours for the perſecuted Chriſtians, Charles the fifth for the Lutherans (at the motion of Albertus Archbiſhop of Ments, and Ludovicus Palatine of Rhine) and Henry the third of France for the Proteſtants: which yet was but ſorrily obſerved though ſworne to. It is written by an Italian (no ſtranger to the Court of Rome) that their Proverb is, Mercatorum eſt, non regum ſtare juramentis, that it is for Merchants, and not for Kings to keep to their oaths.
