But we, who know by experience what is the nature of the reverend Jesuit fathers, were already informed by persons of integrity that those fathers had plotted our ruin. Therefore we did not share the opinion above referred to, nor in this were we deceived. For you will see, gentlemen, something that perhaps was never seen before, something that it will be hard to credit in Europe, it being hardly credible on the spot where the thing happened. Yet this is so admittedly true that if I were in the throes of death, on the point of yielding an account to God of all the actions of my life, and if it were required of me to say whether in all I have written there is any falsehood or exaggeration, I could withdraw nothing without denying the truth. - [Previous: 359.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.359.3.7) - [Next: 359.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.359.4.2) - [Up: 359.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.359.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.359.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.359.4.1) · Pramāṇa
