No. 127 Saint-Mars to the Minister331
Relation of the conduct of two Protestant Ministers.
From the Islands of Saint Margaret,
June 4th, 1692.
The first of the ministers, who have been sent here, sings psalms night and day with a loud voice, expressly to make it be known who he is. I desired him, in vain, several times to discontinue this, on pain of severe punishment; which I have at length been obliged to inflict upon him, as well as on his comrade, named Salves, who write things upon his pewter vessels, and upon his linen, in order to make known that he is imprisoned unjustly, on account of the purity of his faith.
