Owing to the hatred in which he held me, he denounced me, and I was sent for by the commissary as I have just said. I was innocent, and could not make out why I had been sent for. As the friar found he could not harm me in this way, he came to Goa while I was living there, and urged a well-born man called Antonio de Couza Coutinho, who had once been governor of India, to put an affront on me. But, like a wise man, he would not consent; he invited me to his house, and in his conversation told me to live very cautiously, for the father in question was not fond of me. Thus I was far from secure, and for these and other reasons I quitted Goa.
