Everywhere in Europe his emissaries were well provided with money for bribery and for the payment of spies and informers. Like the Spanish King Philip II. , he had his paid adherents and tools in every cabinet. He sometimes by such means succeeded in winning greater victories in diplomacy than through his generals in the field. A pattern of an ambassador after the king's heart was Gremonville in Vienna, of whom the king himself bore witness that he did all that satanic effrontery and subtlety c...ould accomplish. An ambassador from Louis had usually two ends in view : one public and avowed ; the other covert, and carefully concealed. No scruples were entertained as to the employment of bribery upon the most extensive scale and under various forms. Money for this purpose was never wanting, since Louis held all the means of government at his disposal, and as his ministers well understood how to provide for his neces- sities by tightening the screw of taxation and by the sale of public offices.
