_ 138 _ If Your Majesty has any doubts, because it seems to you that by becoming a Christian yourpossessions will not multiply, I promise you, in the name of His Majesty, Our Lord the King, that your power and revenues will thereby increase. Your Majesty will gain a great deal more by cooperating with God, who is King of kings and Lord of lords. He will give you great status in this world and even greater in paradise. Because of Your Majesty's good sense and discretion, I trust that, in this matter, you will do what is required and what I ask of you. I say no more except, that may Our Lord give you grace to do His holy will. May Our Lord prolong Your Majesty's life and royal estate for many years. From Goa, 25th March 1550. Jorge Cabral
