### [362.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.362.4.4)

As to the three monitions, they are inserted in one document. Added to this is the fact that the short interval specified did not permit of the Pondicherry Capuchins informing their Guardian and Vice-Provincial then actually at Madras. To write to and receive a reply from that place requires eight days. Now, we have never done the slightest act contravening the said Pastoral, and if our enemies accuse us of such an act, let them prove it. It will then be demonstrated, in due time and place, that nothing can be more untrue. For we are not so devoid of friends at Pondicherry that we cannot find fifteen or so persons, men of the highest position and zealous for justice, who will sign attestations to the contrary. It is true that we have cited the reverend Jesuit fathers to Rome ; this has not been done singly by Father Esprit, but by all of us, by all of the Capuchins belonging to Pondicherry and Madras. For have we not all signed upon the citation ? Thus, if excommunication is incurred under the Bull ' In Caena Domini,' by citing an opposite party to appear before the courts in Rome, the Lord Bishop must declare us all excommunicated like Father Esprit. He is no more at fault than we are, and we are as guilty as he is.
