I have received a copy of the Lord Primate's letter in which he lays it down that the Lord Patriarch ought to have presented his letters at the Primacy of Goa. On the whole it appears to me it was enough to present them to any bishop. My mistake was to recognise him without asking him to produce the Letters for his Commission, and it was an error to obey him \[without his doing so\]. You, Reverend Fathers, respected the obedience I gave to him, and supposing that I and you, Reverend Fathers, did obey him, I judge that what he did is not null and void. Thus it seems to me you, Reverend Fathers, ought to make use of the Pastoral sent you, and of the absolution granted to the Reverend Father Guardian. In regard to what concerns the letter of the Lord Primate you, Reverend Fathers, may act as you judge to be most just. I hold it to be good for you, Reverend Fathers, to publish the Pastoral sent to you, and if under cover of this, you make known the Lord Primate's letter, you may act as to you seems best. The certificate that was given to the Reverend Father Michel Ange is becoming justified, and if there is anything overlooked in my reply I will see to it a few days hence. May God have you in his keeping. São Thomé, 9th October, 1704. The festival of the Rosary may be carried out by your Reverences as seems fit, but it would be preferable to move more slowly. Of your Reverences the humble servant and friend, (Signed) Bishop of Melliapur (Mailãpur). - [Previous: 339.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.3) - [Next: 339.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.5) - [Up: 339](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.4) · Pramāṇa
