King Philip being drowsy, and not having well heard the Cause of Machetes, cast him contrary to the Laws: Machetes cryed out presently that he appealed; the King in a Passion asked him to what Judge? I appeal, said he, from Philip asleep, to Philip awake. This reply made Philip recollect himself, and ordered the Cause to be tried over again, who acknowledging his Errour, he did not revoke his Sentence, but paid out of his own Pocket the Sum which he had adjudged Machetes to pay.

Le Roy Philippe assoupi, ayant mal entendu la cause de Machetes, il le condamna contre les Loix; Machetes s’écria aussi-tôt qu’il en appelloit. Le Roy en colere lui demanda à quel Juge? j’en appelle, répondit-il, de Philippe endormi, à Philippe éveillé. Ce Mot fit rentrer Philippe en lui même; il fit derechef plaider la cause, & voyant en effet son erreur, il ne cassa pas à la verité son arrest, mais il paya lui même de ses deniers la somme à laquelle il avoit condamné Machetes.
