I love your Holinefs for your exemplary 
virtues: I refpect in you the Vicar of 
Jefus Chrift; confider then, Holy Father, 
what a deep impreffion your affli@tion muft 
have made on me, efpecially as I perceived 
it was owing to your Holinefs’s not being 
convinced, that I had preceeded on good » 
grounds in this affair. Yes, Holy 
Father, the convincing prcofs I had 
of the depravity of thefe regulars, obliged 
me to banifh the whole body for ever out 
of the Spanith dominions; and not to con- 
fine the chaftifement to a few individuals. 
I repeat this to your Holinefs, and I pray 
God, you may be perfuaded this is the 
true ftate of the cafe ; forafmuch as fuch 
a perfuafion will be a means of reftoring 
tranquillity of mind to your Holinefs, 
The Divine Clemency admonifhes me not 
to forget, on this occafion, the ftriét ac- 
count I am to give of the government of — 
my fubjects; net only in what regards 
their temporal wellbeing and tranquillity, 
but principally in what relates to their 
eternal happinefs. Inconfequence, I have 
been particularly careful that they fhould 
not want proper affiftance, even in the molt 
remote countries. Your Holinefs may 
therefore be eafy on this head, which ought 
to give you the greateft concern. I beg 
your Holinefs's apoftolical benediction, 
and that you would gladden my heart 
with your paternal Jove. May the Al- 
mighty preferve and direct the mof efti- 
mable perfon of your Holinefs, for the 
happy and good government of his uni- 
verfal church.
