ear of the Lord; and at the appointed time I came to the
place aforesaid, and there I was showed what further I should do, which
was to tender my body for my brother; and so from that time I hardly
missed opportunity to speak to them as often as they met: for their
manner was thus to meet twice a-week, the one time at _Minerva_, and
the other time at _Monte-Cavallo_, where the Pope's own dwelling is,
where I also did the like, more than once, which stirred them up
against me, in great enmity," &c.

I am afraid I am trespassing on your overfilled columns; but--omitting his
account of his going to the Jews' synagogue, and of the command which he
received to fast twenty days as a testimony against those who falsely
stated that John Luffe had fasted nineteen days and died on the
twentieth--omitting this, I must give one more extract. Having been
detained in one of his visits to the _Minerva_, he says:

"From thence I was carried to the Inquisition, where I was shut up

cried to him with a loud voice in the Italian tongue, _To do the thing
that was Just, and to release the Innocent_; and whilest I was
speaking, the man which led me had not power to take me away until I
had done, and then he had me to prison where my endeared brother was,
where I fasted about 20 dayes as a witness against that bloody
generation," &c.

As to how they got out, he only says:

"Soon after my fast, the Lord, by an outstretched arm, wrought our
deliverance, being condemned to perpetual galley-slavery, if ever we
returned again unto Rome."

It appears, however, that though thus prevented from exercising his office
of a missionary in Rome, Charles Baylie did not relinquish it. In the
letter just quoted he informs his corresp
