After he had given the Lord Bishop this information, he requested the favour of being conceded leave to remain in San Thome, stating his desire to be enrolled in that diocese. He alleged that he was unable to travel owing to an attack of beri-beri, which was not the case. On finding the bishop unwilling to give permission, he made friends with some favourites of his lordship, and in the end was enrolled in the diocese. During this time there also arrived complaints to the bishop from the Danes against the vicar; they asked for the appointment of some one else, even if the bishop declined to eject the priest then in charge. This application had been planned by the said Father Dom João, the intrigue being firmly backed up by means of the bishop's favourites above referred to. He was collated to the said church of Tranquebar, and, taking possession, entered on the execution of his office of vicar. When, as I say, he had become vicar, he made use of a Malabar native (the Lord pardon him !) for buying and selling. - [Previous: 340.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.2.7) - [Next: 340.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.3.1) - [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.340.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.2.8) · Pramāṇa
