LET ME NOT DIE WITH STAINS ON MY CONSCIENCE FOR HAVING PLAYED JESUITISM TO GET UP NAME OR FAME, OR EVEN TO DO GOOD.


I want that there should be no hypocrisy, no Jesuitism, no roguery. I have depended always on the Lord, always on Truth broad as the light of day. Let me not die with stains on my conscience for having played Jesuitism to get up name or fame, or even to do good. There should not be a breath of immorality, nor a stain of policy which is bad.
