Simple prudence, as well as the motives of which we have spoken, commanded them to remain spectators. Prosperity degraded them ; they wished to be grand in their fall. XLIII. LETTER FROM LAURENT KAULBN. " You are in fact," resumed the archbishop, " in a very crit- ical and solemn situation. A noble part is offered you ; so noble, my fathers, that what I ask for you from God is, not the courage to accept it, for that you will have, but the power to accept it without pride. In this respect, your ...brethren of Portugal set you a beautiful example. You will assuredly, in France, not be called upon to submit to such treatment as that by which they are crushed. It will in consequence be easier for you to be courageous, easier to be martyrs. Take care ! Take care! A martyr's pride is like any other pride; and I need not teach you how God detests pride. It is beautiful to know how to suffer, but -it is beautiful only ; it is more than beautiful to suffer without pride, — it is Christian. Listen to what is written from the horrors of a dungeon, by one of these men upon whom the Marquis de Pombul has exhausted his despotism.
