Autograph letter signed from John Donne, Amiens, to Sir Robert More [manuscript], 1612 February 7.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/781284953

Donne shares scraps of French political intelligence and indicates that "the Religion ys like to suffer in france." He refers to Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne, duc de Bouillon; Maximilien de Bethune, duc de Sully; François de Bonne, duc de Lesdiguières; and Louis Servin. With regards to Servin, Donne comments "He ys a Catholique, but a french Catholique. And, S[i]r, french-papistry, ys but like french veluet: a prety slack Religion that would soone wear owt; and not of the three-piled papistry of Italy and Spayne."
