_ 525 _ Summary of pp. 358-9 I recently sent a copy of a letter that the Emperor, wrote to the Queen of France, together with her reply. This followed an assurance given by the King allowing the native heretics to attend that assembly. All those in Geneva and other place showed up in great numbers, and wherever such learned men were, there was dissension and a bad outcome. Father Luis de Souto Mayor, brother of Antonio de Souto Mayor, studied in Louvain for many years and arrived here to meet Father Pedro (?) de Souto, confessor of the late Emperor. He is a well-respected scholar and linguist, who has visited England. According to reports, he leads an exemplary life. As I believed he was well-qualified to head the scholars that Your Highness is sending to the Council, I persuaded him to attend and lodge with Dom Jorge de Atayde, which he willingly agreed to. It seems only right that he should be shown the same consideration as Brother João Pinheiro, especially considering his knowledge of the topics the Council has to deal with. The Pope will be very happy to learn that Your Highness ambassador and prelates have already left for the Council. The ambassador that the Duke of Vendome wanted to send here was delayed and stayed in France to await the outcome of their Assembly.
