"You say you are from the East: are you a Christian?" "I reject your creed." "You are married to a Catholic?" "Yes a true Catholic." "Who married you?" "Father Seysen, a Catholic, priest." "Did you enter into the bosom of the Church? did he venture to marry you without your being baptised?" "Some ceremony did take place which I consented to." "It was baptism, was it not?"

Father Mathias took this opportunity of thanking Philip for his hospitality and kindness, and stated his intention of returning to Lisbon by the first opportunity that might offer.
