After such a formal denial, Avaugour was forced to confine his demands to the ratification of the treaty of Compeigne. Ep. 390. p. 142. & ep. 391. p. 143. Ep. 393. p. 143 & ep. 396 p. 144. Ep. 387. p. 141. Ep. 400. p. 146. Ep. 344. p. 853. Ep. 408. p. 1, 8. Ep. 432. p. 159. Puffendorf, l. 8. n. 4.

Grotius was at this time engaged in another very delicate negotiation at the Court of France. Marshal Horn, the High Chancellor's son-in-law, had been taken at the battle of Nordlinguen, and Sweden was most desirous to recover her General.
The occasion was, to acquaint him with a conversation which he had lately had with Puffendorf, the Swedish agent, who had passed by the Hague in the way from Paris to his own country.
The celebrated translator of Grotius and Puffendorf assures us that Grotius took the hint of attempting a system of natural law from Lord Bacon's works; and certainly, he adds, none was more proper for such an undertaking.
The author of Vindiciæ Grotianæ assures us , after Morhof, that Grotius's Letters are not all printed; and he adds, that he knew a cabinet in which were preserved upwards of two hundred and sixty, written to Queen Christina and the High Chancellor. Bunau, a Privy Counselor at Dresden, is said to have had many of them. Puffendorf saw several in cypher, to which he had a key.
If you doubt this, pitch that folio Swammerdam or Puffendorf into a good rousing fire, and mark the result.
