The history of Palafox in particular deserves to be briefly told. * Cret. Vol. Iii. P. 502. A3IERICAX MISSIONS. 309 Palafox was a man of the greatest piety, of a pnre and uncontaminated life, and, after his death, was even proposed for canonisation- He bore no ill-will to the Jesuits; on the contrary, as a good Papist which he was, he even overrated their merits. In his letter to the King of Spain, he says of them, '' The Company of the holv name of Jesus is an admirable institution, learned, u...seful, sainted, worthy not only of the protection of your majesty, but of all the Catholic prelates. "* A man who thus speaks of the order cannot be sus- pected of enmity ; and it must be inferred that he would not have attacked the Society, unless constrained by duty or necessityo He attempted at first to bring them to reason by remonstrance. F He afterwards wrote a strong letter to Pope Innocent X. , and asked for a reform of the Society, indispensable, he said, for the good of the Christian community.
