In testimony of what is above stated either as eye-witness or as having heard the same from persons worthy of belief, and because two Capuchin fathers — that is to say, the Reverend Father Ambroise of Preuilly and the reverend Father Giles of Dijon — come from Persia to this town of Goa — have asked me to do so, I have drawn up the present certificate, and attest it by an oath on my sacred orders and my religious profession. Done at the convent of the Seraphic Father St. Francis in the town of Goa, this 18th of May, 1650, signed by my hand, attested and sealed with the petty seal of my office. FR. Anth. de Christo, Vigre. Provincial, ut supra. [Attestation of the Provincial of the Capuchins, dated September 5, 1650.] I, François Hyacinthe de Dieu, privileged reader in Sacred Theology, Provincial Vicar of the holy Province of the Mother of God of the Capuchins of our Father Saint Francis in the East Indies, testify that the present Certificate agrees with the original, from which it has been drawn and copied, the same having been drawn up by the Reverend Father Anthoine de Christ, Provincial of the Hermits of Saint Augustin. I have read the said original, and had it in my hands ; I have collated it with this copy, which entirely agrees with it. In testimony thereof I have issued the present attestation, written and signed with my own hand, and have caused to be affixed to it the small seal of Our Office.
