To better secure his object, in addition to clothing himself in the lamb's skin, he shielded himself, a still better disguise, under the best friend that the Capuchins had in India. Soliciting him to be his protector and mediator in respect to what he claimed, he communicated to him in the greatest secrecy what he designed to do. His project was that, after the Capuchins of Madras had given him a cell in their convent, and allowed him to perform all the functions of parish priest, they should abstain from any exercise of their ministry; while he undertook to act in such a way that things should continue in that condition, and the Capuchins remain under suspension from the divine office. They must consent not to prosecute their appeal any further, and if they desisted they would not be persecuted any more. But I say that the joke was not half a bad one — 'to ask for a riding-saddle and carry off a pack-saddle.' - [Previous: 338.7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.7.2) - [Next: 338.7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.7.4) - [Up: 338.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.7.3) · Pramāṇa
