For it seemed as if Our Lord had led him to this country and these unbelieving kingdoms among Hindus, Mahomedans, and enemies of our Holy Faith, in order that by the saintliness of his life and the excellence of his teaching, he should increase the glory of the Gospel and work for the conversion of souls. He had a special gift for all languages, for in addition to the dead languages which all the learned know, he understood Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Mosarabic, and English. For the greater profit of his people he extracted from the Holy Gospels the mysteries of our faith and salvation, and translated them into Portuguese in the form of a catechism. This he gave to his pupils to read, and made them learn it by heart, so that our holy religion might be imprinted better on their memory. This work was useful not only to children, but to old people. - [Previous: 332.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.332.1.6) - [Next: 332.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.332.1.8) - [Up: 332.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.332.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.332.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.332.1.7) · Pramāṇa
