As I have heard from many persons, he found himself compromised in a crime of murder, and a complaint was laid by the relations of the deceased before the tribunal of the Lord Archbishop of Manila, who was in some slight degree friendly to the accused priest. As sentence the court gave the priest his letters demissory, and told him to quit Manila. Quitting that place, he landed at Tranquebar, a fortress of the Danes, and there for some three years he laboured as an active missionary, preaching and granting indulgences. During this period he captured the friendship and affection of the Danes by gifts and presents. By means of this intimacy he suggested to the Danes certain faults, real or imagined, of the vicar then in charge of the church at Tranquebar. In this way the Danes ceased to be on good terms with this vicar. - [Previous: 340.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.2.6) - [Next: 340.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.2.8) - [Up: 340.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.2.7) · Pramāṇa
