Gentlemen, I know perfectly well that you dread the reverend Jesuit fathers, that you fear them more than you do us humble Capuchins, for you know that Capuchin fathers are not capable of bearing malice, not even to those who try to make them hateful to all the world, while on the contrary the Jesuit fathers intimidate by their menaces all those who endeavour to oppose, either their perfidious injustice or their insatiable ambition. Allowing for all that, gentlemen (although I know this to be the sole reason which drives you to it, if you will permit me to say so), yet our too great goodness of heart ought not to be the cause of our not receiving justice. Your office compels you to enter equally into the interests of the one side as of the other \[314\]. Because the reverend Jesuit fathers use at every turn such emphatic words as, 'The king shall hear of it,' 'We shall inform the court,' 'What will his Majesty say when he hears of this?' it is not necessary to imagine that they have such complete hold over the minds of princes. Besides, the King of France thinks less of the Jesuits at Pondicherry than you do. - [Previous: 366.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.5.1) - [Next: 366.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.5.3) - [Up: 366.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.5.2) · Pramāṇa
