"One moment, does not the king sign the ordonances?" Mazarin passed from sighs to groans. "Absolution! absolution!" cried he. "Impossible, my lord. Restitution! restitution!" replied the Theatin. "But you absolve me from all other sins, why not from that?" "Because," replied the father, "to absolve you for that motive would be a sin for which the king would never absolve me, my lord."
"That character, if I may venture to express myself thus, resembles that which my lord confessed just now to the Theatin." "Go on that is?" "Pride! Pardon me, my lord, haughtiness, nobleness; kings have no pride, that is a human passion." "Pride, yes, you are right. Next?" "Well, my lord, if I have divined rightly, your eminence has but to give all your money to the king, and that immediately."
Did not I hear him say 'Distinguish that which the king has given you from that which you have given yourself. Recollect, my lord, if he did not say something a little like that to you? that is quite a theatrical speech." "That is possible." "In which case, my lord, I should consider you as required by the Theatin to " "To make restitution!" cried Mazarin, with great warmth. "Eh!
From the time that I threw myself in that manner between two armies, that I had smelt powder and faced lines of soldiers, I have held generals a little in contempt." "Ah!" said the father. "There is the evil; so that I have not found one endurable since that time." "The fact is," said the Theatin, "that the generals we have had have not been remarkable."
"Is that not always so?" said the Theatin naively, removing further from the lamp his thin pointed face, like that of a mole. "Sinners are so forgetful beforehand, and scrupulous when it is too late." "Sinners?" replied Mazarin. "Do you use that word ironically, and to reproach me with all the genealogies I have allowed to be made on my account I the son of a fisherman, in fact?"
A second embassy came from Borney; and General Don Juan de Morales is going with the title of ambassador, to establish peace at once. They say a Theatin will accompany him, to pave the way for introducing the faith into that kingdom. For accountant of his Majesty, Juan del Pozo y Gatica; for castellan of Cavite, Don Alonso de Aponte; for sargento-mayor of that port, Francisco Sanchez.
The Theatin promised to do what the Queen thus earnestly desired, and when his fair penitent came to confess, he ordered her at once to break off her connection with the Court as with the world, and to shut herself up in a convent.

Martin was not consoling. Candide's melancholy increased; and Martin continued to prove to him that there was very little virtue or happiness upon earth, except perhaps in El Dorado, where nobody could gain admittance. While they were disputing on this important subject and waiting for Cunegonde, Candide saw a young Theatin friar in St. Mark's Piazza, holding a girl on his arm.
Having discovered the name of her confessor, the Queen herself went in disguise to the Theatin Church, flung herself into the confessional where this man officiated, and promised him the sum of thirty thousand francs for their new church if he would help her to save the King.
