By this means the Estates General furnished the material for numerous "ordonnances", though the king did not always adopt the propositions contained in the "cahiers", and often modified them in forming them into an "ordonnance". These latter were the "ordonnances de reforme" (reforming ordinances), treating of the most varied subjects, according to the demands of the "cahiers". They were not, however, for the most part very well observed. The last of the type was the "grande ordonnance" of 1629 ("Code Michau"), drawn up in accordance with the "cahiers" of 1614 and with the observations of various assemblies of notables that followed them.
