This, as the reader will see, happened here between this afflicted priest and the charitable Theatine. The latter opened his case in some such words as these: 'Reverend Father Paulo de Saa, I will not deceive your honour, and after having weighed the matter, I think your case a troublesome one and the remedy for it not an easy one to accept, though it is the only suitable one, and there is no other course. Believe me, my reverend father, for the love of God, it is thus only that Our Father may help you and deliver you from similar torments for the future.' 'How will he assist me?' replied the poor priest timorously. 'What may be this remedy, and what must be done to obtain it?' To this answered the sympathizing messenger: 'Give up one of the two churches to the Theatines, and I pledge you my word you shall be left in peace, saved from these embarrassments, made whiter than snow before the Lord Nuncio, and restored to his favour.' I forewarned the reader that I bargained he would see by what was promised whether the priest (de Saa) deceived himself in thinking that this visitor was a second man of Cyrene come to deliver him from the cross of tribulations he was then suffering from, for Father da Costa told him clearly that he wanted for himself one of the two churches. - [Previous: 338.6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.6.5) - [Next: 338.6.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.6.7) - [Up: 338.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.6.6) · Pramāṇa
