of to grant me liberty, in saying I should be set at liberty as I desired, and go into France, explained these latter words, which were indeed added as a surplusage of favour to me, as an absolute obligation of im∣mediately embarquing my self; and so made answer for my Memoire, That they would grant me my desire, on condition, I would give cauti∣on, and procure Sureties, that I would stay no longer at Lisbon than was necessary to obtain an opportunity of being gone. This answer was signified to me the 28th of Iune; I went immediately to give an account to Mr.—and intreated him to finish that matter which he had so kindly begun. Some urgent affairs hindred him from going the same day to the Inquisition, but going thither the 30th of the same month in the morning, and giving caution for me, that in default of my being gone at the first opportunity, he would pay four hundred Crowns; they sent in the Afternoon of the same day, being the last of Iune 1677, a Familiar to the Galley, who cansed my Irons to be taken off, and carried me to the Holy Office; where being called in the presence of the Inqui∣sitors, they asked whether I knew the Queens Physician, They told me he had given caution for me, that themselves extended their favour to me, and that from that moment I might go whether I pleased. Then commanding me to withdraw, I answered only with a profound reve∣rence, and was immediately freed from the Tyrannical Power of the Holy Office, under the rigour of which I had groaned almost four years, continuing from the day of my Imprisonment, August the 24th 1673. to the last of Iune 1677.As soon as I had set foot out of this terrible House, I went into the next Church, to render thanks to God and the Holy Virgin, for the li∣berty I had just now obtained. I went in the next place to Mr.— who wept for joy, embracing me. I then took a turn to the Galley, to give my last adieu to those poor afflicted Persons, who had been the Companions of my Misfortune, and to take away that little Luggage which remained to me. I enquired with all possible diligence▪ when any Ship would part for France, having much greater desire to be gone, that so I might get out of the Jurisdiction of the Inquisitors, than they could have for my departure. I found one in a short time, upon which I embarqued my self; and after having passed through some light Fatiques, I had the happiness to arrive in my Country in perfect Health.0
