On obtaining this report, out Palha came fully armed, shouting along the street for everybody to come and help Father Luis Pereyra. They went to him, and found him tied to a pillar. They undid him, and tried to console him by saying they had made all possible haste to succour him, but to come sooner was impossible, they being at Mass. Next day Martini de Lemos went off to Monte Grande (St. Thomas's Mount) with four Kaffirs at his heels, armed with staves, and interviewed the canon, Custantino Sardinha Rangel, and in a most dictatorial tone said to him : 'Your Honour must absolve me forthwith, for I have business I must attend to.' The canon, in fear of the staves, asked not a single question, and gave absolution. I have seen in India that many vicars pronounce unmerited excommunications; this comes from their being illiterate, ignorant, and without the experience that befits the priestly office. I have no wish to speak of cases which have happened; I simply leave it to their prelates to see to it. - [Previous: 265.9.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.9.7) - [Next: 265.10.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.10.2) - [Up: 265.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.10.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.10.1) · Pramāṇa
