"But surely, gentlemen, you would not choose to eat your friends. You imagine you are going to roast a Jesuit, whereas my master is your friend, your defender, and you are going to spit the very man who has been destroying your enemies; as to myself, I am your countryman; this gentleman is my master, and so far from being a Jesuit, give me leave to tell you he has very lately killed one of that order, whose spoils he now wears, and which have probably occasioned your mistake.
Mas vms., señores, no se querrán comer á sus amigos; y creen que van á espetar á un jpsuita en el asador, miéntras que el asado es vuestro defensor, y enemigo de vuestros enemigos. Yo soy nacido en vuestro mismo pais; este señor que estais viendo es mi amo, y léjos de ser jesuita, acaba de matar á un jesuita, y se ha traído los despojos: este es el motivo de vuestro error.
