Pater io but in the midst of this triumph by chance it came to pass that by the greatness of the Wind the Fire had taken hold of his Lanthorns which when it was observed by some Rascality of the Vulgar they began to scoff at his devotion upbraiding the man for his superstition and with a bitter allusion to his Motto of Triumph invert the words of it thus At at Beatus uritur At Loyola crematur At which the man growing infinitely out of patience out of his sense of this irreligion used to St. Ignatius And I for my part quoth he have so high an esteem of the Sanctity of the B.
