He ate with them and, for over three years, lived with them as a brother. After that, what is there to be surprised at in this other instance ? How much less amazement can it cause, it being in comparison as a single point in a huge circumference ! Moreover, if the Capuchins were taken in by him, in spite of being enlightened by such a long period passed together, how much more likely is it for these poor brothers to be deceived by his fine speeches ! By these he hoped to win them to be his friends, in order to make use of them should there arise any objection or opposition on the part of the people to his introduction as vicar, as he aspired to be. When all his hopes were frustrated, and, as he asserted, all his efforts insufficiently rewarded \[182\], he planned to get something out of the brothers which, in the future, might be of use in his projects against the Capuchins. But, finding that he could not secure this from the brothers, he was totally undeceived (that is if he had ever been deceived), and, altogether renouncing them, threw them over and openly stamped upon them, until the miserable beings, like so many asses, were reduced to signing the document that had been prepared for them. By this alone were they able to secure and obtain on September 24 \[1704\] an absolution for that of which they were not guilty. - [Previous: 338.13.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.13.3) - [Next: 338.13.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.13.5) - [Up: 338.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.13.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.13.4) · Pramāṇa
