dertook to procure us a Houfe and fo departed 5 having alfo

great contentment to me to fee and know F. Antonio Schi^am^

upon your account 5 andfo for this time I gave him a fuccind
Relation of you, puting him in mind of your Child-hood. He

had formerly feen in Terfta, and who not living then with fhe

rior in Goa 0 both to complement me in his Name, and to give
him more exaft information of me, whom he had never feen^
nor fo much as known by Fame, faving what his General's Let
ters fignifi'd to him. Wherefore after they had vifited me,
and underftood what was my intention to do , they went to
give account thereof to the Father Vifitor, faying, that they
would return again, as accordingly they did a good while after,
offering me in the Name of the F. Vifitor their Covent of
Profefsjd Houfe, where they pray'd me to go and lodge, at leaft

provide a convenient refidence for Mariam Tinatin , who was
