This Oratorian and his admirers have stated that I wore a hair shirt and shroud. Pious slanders, every word of them! I give many pensions and alms, that is to say, I do good to several families; the good that I bestow about me will be more agreeable to God than any harm I could do myself, and that I maintain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
