Pharamond
of
France
, and the close Friendship between him and his Friend
Eucrate
; I found, among the Letters which had been in the custody of the latter, an Epistle from a Country Gentleman to
Pharamond
, wherein he excuses himself from coming to Court. The Gentleman, it seems, was contented with his Condition, had formerly been in the King's Service, but at the writing the following Letter, had, from Leisure and Reflection, quite another Sense of things than that which he had in the more active Part of his Life.
