Commentary
“ L'aqueduc ne sert qu'à porter les eaux qui coulent sans cesse et ne s'y arrestent jamais Le Trésor royal de mesme est le lieu par où passent continuellement les revenus du Roy, qui sont incessamment employez aux besoins de l'Etat et pour les récompenses des bons sujets de sa Majesté " (Mercure Galant, janvier 1681).
“The aqueduct only serves to carry the waters which flow constantly and never stop there. The Royal Treasury is also the place through which the King's revenues continually pass, which are constantly used for the needs of the State and for the rewards of the good subjects of His Majesty” (Mercure Galant, January 1681)

Historical background
TRÉSOR ROYAL
The first Capetian kings settled their personal affairs themselves by calling on a Chancellor and four Ministers of the King's Household: the Seneschal, the Constable, the Grand Bouteiller and the Grand Chamberlain.

Royal Treasury and Public Treasury are nevertheless confused until Charles V. Under Charles VII, the Treasurers are increased to four and are responsible for establishing the revenue budget. 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..
