The most difficult thing was to subdue the Jesuits. A bishop who was a great friend of ours charged himself with this task, and easily persuaded the vice-provincial and the consultors; but I always have been of opinion that we ought to pursue an even course for I immediately saw the trick, and that he was setting a trap for us, as actually happened.

Three or four benches with desks before them, standing out beyond the Consultors' seats, were reserved for the arrivals of the day before prelates and priests who had poured into Rome from every European country on the announcement of the amazing news.

In 1598 George Blackwell received faculties as archpriest or superior of the Scotch mission, and was provided with a number of consultors to assist him in his difficult task. A Scotch college was established at Rome by Clement VIII. to supply Scotland with priests . Another college of a similar kind was founded at Tournai in 1576 by Dr. James Cheyne.
