After the Mass, the reverend father provincial and all the others of the community gave him many congratulations on his discharge. Upon the same day they conducted him to the Capuchin convent, where he was met by a procession at the gate of the cloister, which, singing the Te Deum Laudamus, escorted him into their church. The kindness they showed him was such that it is not easy to express it. He remained with them up to January 25 \[1652\], and they treated him so kindly that he regained sufficient strength to make by land the journey of three hundred leagues required to reach Madras. For when he first came out of prison he was so weak that he fell at every step. He remained at Goa until January 21 \[1652\], on which day he started for Madras, as said before, in opposition to the wishes of the archbishop and the inquisitors. After his release they pressed him a great deal to return no more to that place, alleging as reason the hate of the secular priests at San Thomé. Their hatred was so envenomed that they would persecute him to the last day of his life. However, they left him at liberty to go where he pleased, for they could not hinder him; but they entreated him to make them that concession. - [Previous: 330.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.330.2.4) - [Next: 330.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.330.2.6) - [Up: 330.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.330.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.330.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.330.2.5) · Pramāṇa
