LETTER XXV. To the Superiour of the Jesuites.
I Have been no less concern'd for the ill Conduct of Father Caussin, then you your self appear to be. All those of the Society, who have given themselves the trou∣ble to visit me since the King remov'd him from his Per∣son, are as faithful Witnesses of this Truth, as of the lit∣tle Reason the said Father Caussin had to behave himself as he has done▪ The Fault which his Imprudence caus'd him to commit, being a Thing that no way touches the General of your Order, but his own particular Onely, I can assure yee, has no way lessen'd the good Will which the King has always had for your Society. For my part, having all the reason in the world to speak well of it, I shall ever take a singular delight in serving it, and meet∣ing all Opportunities to procure its Advantages, no less glad of the Occasion to let you know, that no Man has a greater Esteem for yee, nor is more sincerely then
I am, &c.
