[In letter from the King of France to the Archbishop of
Paris, reporting on the victory at the battle of Guastalla:] 
They abandon'd part of their cannon, and we took several
kettle drums, and standards.  A success so great is only to
be attributed to God; and being desirous to render the
thanksgiving due to him, I sent you this letter, to acquaint
you that me will is, that you cause Te Deum to be sung, &c.
