Upon reading the papal bull confirming the nomination, he ab- ruptly left the presence of the queen, exclaim- ing: "There is some mistake in this; it can- not be intended for me," and set off on foot for trie Franciscan monastery at Ocafia. For 6 months he persisted in refusing the office, and only yielded at the express command of the pope. He however retained his simple and austere manners, dispensing his revenues, esti- mated at 200,000 ducats, mostly in charities, wearing the coarse frock o...f his order, patched vv^ith his own hands, beneath the costly archi- ^piscopal robes which he was obliged to dis- play in public, and abating in no degree the Voreonal mortifications in which he had been 5%-orit to indulge, or the strict observance of the [Tx-^nciscan rule. Hardly had Ximenes been installed in office before he commenced a vig- orous scheme of reform among the Spanish clergy, who as a body had departed widely from the discipline prescribed by the church. The difficulties were augmented by the inexora- ble spirit in which the primate, himself trained in the severest school of the priesthood and conscious of the rectitude of* his intentions, carried out his views; and upward of 1,000 Franciscan friars, it is said, quitted the country and took refuge in Barbary, rather than con- form to the strict letter of their founder^ rules.
