She read it, and, deceived by her simplicity, gave her son into their hands, and they took him and returned with much exultation to the city. When Gregory's accusers heard that he had been taken, with great joy they crowded round him and tried to intimidate him by threatening him with death if he would not embrace their faith. Gregory, however, refused to be frightened. When they saw that he made light of their words, they took him and brought him before the officer, to whom the viceroy had committed the investigation of the case. He endeavoured to shake Gregory's resolution by promising him money, possessions, and a handsome wife if he would apostatize, but the young man steadfastly refused. When the officer saw Gregory's firmness in his faith, and the boldness of his answers, he decided to report to the viceroy. When the shopkeepers learned this they crowded to him, and said : 'To you is committed the carrying out of this affair, and you ought to bring this man by force to our creed. If he refuses to be converted he ought to be put to death.' By various arguments they persuaded the officer to become their accomplice, and said to him : 'Do you inform the Viceroy that we wish Gregory brought to the public square of the city, so that we may finish the affair there by making reconciliation between the shopkeepers and the English merchants. - [Previous: 349.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.349.5) - [Next: 349.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.349.7) - [Up: 349](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.349) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.349.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.349.6) · Pramāṇa
