 in various stations, and will await patiently the opportunity 

 of preaching. No one comes to be enlightened, nay, those 

 who appeared to be enlightened (I speak of the King's 

 relatives) have rejected the light and have returned to their 

 vomit, at the King's order. Because of a ship seized by 

 the Portuguese, Ours are molested. They lived at the King's 

 expense ; now, they live on alms. ' ' '
