361.3.8

As a matter of fact, after having plotted the destruction of the Reverend Father Esprit, the person who caused them the greatest umbrage, they sent off as quick as they could the Reverend Father de la Breuille to San Thome, where, for three days on end, there were four Jesuits and some other friars not particularly well-intentioned towards us examining into the best means of succeeding in their pernicious enterprises. The vicar-general, who was present at their last meeting, finding there had been such a precipitate excommunication of the Reverend Father Esprit, asked the reasons. After having reflected over them in a judicial spirit, he said such an act could not be done without injustice, and if they carried it out they would be forced one day to repent it. But perceiving what little account they made of his arguments, and that they had sworn our ruin, he shut the door behind him in a rage and fled. Never again did he appear in the midst of such a saintly assembly.
