Among the causes of grief which
oAlici our soul in the guilt OF perturbatlons
10 profound at the present time, are the
;n;i1stices and the injuries with whlch Tue
raiioious families OF regular OrderS are
avaTvbelmad, Founded by great SAINTS,
thev have been useful both to the Catholic
chmrch. of which they form an ornament,
and TO even civil society, Wnlcn draws
therefrom serious advantages. from All
times these orders have merlted much
from religion and literature. Iney nave
also contributed greatly TO the salVaIlon
of souls. Consequently. we ike, wnen
tbe occasion presents itself, to accord To
raligious orders the praise which they
merit so well: as our predecessors, we
take a pleasure in restifying highly ana
nubIicly our affe ctionate good Will toward
Them. Now, then, we know tnat TOT some
wears past there is being prepared ne"
adition of the work entitled THE lnstltu-
tion Of the society of Jesus to the COM
nletion of which our dear son Antoine
Mari Anderledy, vicar-general OF tnat So
ejetv. mas applied himself asslduously,
and that there only remains 10 De re-
edited the last part, containing Tue
snostoIical letters addressed to the So
civ Of Jesus, to st. Ignatius of Loyola,

casion of showing our affection for the
Societv of Jesus. which mas mer1Jed &c
much from the church and society
Consequently we approve OF the com
meuced edition of the work ABOVE men
Toned, a work at the same time glorious
and useful to the society; we commend
this work and desire to see its contlnua
ton and cOmpletion. But to the greater
manifest our love toward the Society o
Jesus, ia virtue of our apostollcal autnor
ity, we confirm, by these presents, anC
we once more grant the apostohcal leu
tiers, each and every one OF them, having
for their object the establishment anC
confirmation of this society. Letters

our present letters be testimonial of tn
love that we bear and that we have al

Jesus, so devoted to our predecessors anC
TO ourselves; fruitful foster mother o
eminent men by the glory of holiness ana
science; source and support of sound ant
solid doctrine; source which, in spite O
the violent persecution it endured 70
Justices sake, never ceases to labor ii
the vineyard of the Lord with joyOu
Rrdor and an ihvincIble courage. Ad0rn
ed by so great merits, recommends

the Society OF Jesus then continue. in thu
midst OF the unjust hatreds turned loose
against the church OF Jesus Christ; ma
pursue the end of it's institution Tor thu
greater glory of God and the enterna
salvation of souls. May il continue it
mission OF leading and restoring, by hol.
expeditions, the inidels and heretics t.
the light of the truth, to form youth to tn
practice of Christian virtue and litera
ture; to teach philosophy and Theology
according to the spirit of the angelic doc

which is very dear TO us, and we give t
The superior general, to his vicar and
