When the Reverend Father Ambroise of Rennes, visitor of the Capuchin missions, arrived, he came to see me. After several conversations we had over the proceedings of Father Ephraim, he told me that he went away much consoled at seeing so religiously appropriate and well-adorned a church, still more at the great and edifying zeal with which Father Ephraim's life was filled. I also certify it to be entirely true that I have heard the Father Governor of San Thome, named Hierome de Saa, always speak evil of the said Reverend Father Ephraim. He let it be known that he was very angry because he (Ephraim) lived at Madras without his orders, and had founded a church without his permission. For he had intended to establish there one of his own priests. To this I replied that his secular priests would give very poor answers to the difficulties and doubts propounded to them by the heretics in regard to our Holy Faith. For not one of them was learned; all were ignorant and illiterate.
