\(your eminence) presently returning from her visits and as the time approaches when she will see the king, it is time that I have the honor to speak to her about the treatment that is done to me. I hide the first insult to give me an exam, what five chancellors in a row, starting with m. I, I say, conceal in the design to advance the impression. It is completed; that's fine on this coast; but we move on to another insult of wanting the extermination of the examiner to be at the head.

It is, monseigneur, that I will never consent because it is an insult to all the bishops, that we want to put under that yoke, in the point that touches them the most, in.

But if I abandoned the cause, it would be finished by my consent and by my example. Anysson what he had to say on that to prevent it from coming to the effect.

At the beginning of October 1702, while his book, instructions on the New Testament version, was already in the press, he learned that the Chancellor of Pontchartrain intended to submit him to the examination of an official censor.

Although feeling the blame that was made to him, hunchback decided not to protest. When Pontchartrain demanded that the censor's approval be printed at the head of the work, Bossuet consented again.

But having learned that the affair was rumored and fearing to be accused of allowing the rights of the episcopate to be violated in his person, he turned back on his word and begged his superior, Cardinal de Noailles, to obtain from the King the dispensation from complying with the Chancellor's demands.
