They falsely-sent gifts with other intentions and they ordered to give befitting gifts, wishing to test his sincerity, in order to have for the king a future pretext against him that they might appeal to the king that he was obliging himself to the king's possessions, and he in this way be killed as a plotter. And so at all times they resourcefully sought a cause against him.
