But, leaving this with God, who alone can remedy it, since there is no one here below to sympathize, let us turn to the above-named letter received by the Reverend Father Dom Guilhermo della Valle, in which he was enjoined to show to the Lord Governor of Madras his patent as parish priest. He did as ordered without delay, presenting it on June 29 \[1704\], the festival of St. Peter and St. Paul, which of a truth was not ill chosen. But, still, it did not turn out well for him: the governor would not agree. Here it has to be pointed out, and should be noted for the future, that the Capuchins are the legitimate parish priests of Madras. For the Reverend Father Ephraim (whom God have in His keeping), when he came to the coast of Choromandal, did not mean to stop there, but was going on to Pegu, conformably to the requirements of his patent. While he was staying in Madras the Christians there entreated him to remain. - [Previous: 338.8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.8.2) - [Next: 338.8.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.8.4) - [Up: 338.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.8.3) · Pramāṇa
