Commentary
C'est la figure du Roy qu'on peut regarder comme une source inépuisable de biens qu'il fait continuellement couler sur ses sujets. C'est aussi une image du trésor royal, qui, sans s'estre jamais épuisé, distribue incessament de grandes sommes qui se répandent ensuite dans toute la France" (Mercure, janvier 1680).

It is also an image of the royal treasury, which, without ever being exhausted, constantly distributes large sums that then spread throughout all of France\\\" (Mercure, January 1680)

Under François I, the kingdom was divided into sixteen jurisdictions with a Receiver General at their heads and a Treasurer of Savings who centralized everything..
