I. The Occasion of the Voyage and of what passed at Rome with the Pope AS I taught Philosophy at Peruge the Capital City of Vmbria the F. Claudus Aquavira our General writ unto me that according to the resolution his Holiness had had to send a faithful Person to the Patriarch of the Maronites living in Mount Libanus in Syria now call'd Sorie I had been chosen for that purpose and if I found no repugnance within my self to undertake that Voyage I should set forward as soon as possibly I could I was gone then from Peruge to take the Air and give some relaxation to my spirits being resolved to go visit our Lady of Agnes and some other Religious places adjacent to Peruge At my return I was presented with our Generals Letter and when I had finish'd the reading of it I render'd God thanks for his favour towards me in the undertaking of this Voyage and for the opportunity offered me to go render my devoirs in Person to the glorious Sepulchre of his Son and to other Sacred Places of Palestine since they were not far distant from the Place I was to be sent unto Whereupon I returned answer That notwithstanding I found some difficulty in the undertaking of this Voyage principally by reason of a long and dangerous Navigation as being not well accustomed to the Sea yet I would pursue with all diligence that which was desired of me and put my self upon the Road as soon as possibly in order to be at Rome the 15th of May for to wait upon his Holiness and receive his Commands which I punctually executed For after having taken my leave of my Friends at Peruge I took Horse and by the way of Boligni rendered my self at Rome the day I had appointed about two hours before Sun-set insomuch that I had nothing to hinder my setting forwards on my Journey but to see his Holiness for to receive of him the necessary Instructions and his Benediction But as the Feast of Pentecost approach'd and that his Holiness was wholly taken up with thoughts of the creation of some Cardinals I was retarded some days at Rome till a business so important to the Church was finished In the mean time I failed not to confer with the Cardinal Paleose Protector of the Maronites and with our Father-General who informed me of the intentions of his Holiness The Maronites had now for a long time past been ill represented to the Pope and Cardinals they were also accused of divers Errors and considerable Heresies and those of that Nation which were then at Rome used all their Efforts for to justifie them But as some denied that which others affirmed the verity of their circumstance could not be known with any certainty however they have been at the expence of founding of a College for them in this City where they are instructed with much Pains and Industry They have also sent not long since for a considerable number of young Maronites out of their own Country the major part of whom were not yet of Age to Study which has been very expensive not reckoning the hazards they run in respect of the
