It will easily be seen that he who discoursed in this wise did it with a disinterested mind and a feeling heart for the harm that he feared and was attempting to obviate. Even although he opposed what the father desired to do, it would certainly be a great piece of imprudence not to value his advice. The friar was aware that he who repeated all these things to him knew extremely well the English customs (they being his own), and that in what he had advised he had given proof of the great love he bore him, such as he had always experienced from him. The friar's judgment being, let it be supposed, a little affected, still he had not, by the pressure of events, lost it altogether. He weighed with care the Englishman's reasons, and attaching to all of them full weight, he accepted them. At the same time he acquired this piece of wisdom — namely, not to pay, for the future, any heed to the counsels of his loving counsellor, the priest. - [Previous: 338.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.4.2) - [Next: 338.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.4.4) - [Up: 338.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.4.3) · Pramāṇa
