A colleague in French is working on a Huguenot text and has sent me the =
following query.  I am drawing a blank on it; can anyone help my friend =
Otto?

+++
I am editing a French sermon and the pastor has a line about the Roman =
senate being called an "assembl=E9e des rois"--do you know what author =
used such a phrase? (I can't remember hearing it in "Gladiator"...)

thanks,

Otto

P.S. Here is the the line, comparing Huguenots to Romans:=20
"En un mot, comme on disoit du senat romain que c'etoit une assembl=E9e =
des rois , je voudrai[s], je prefererai[s] que l'on dit de nous, c'est une =
assembl=E9e des justes!"
