Le vingt-sixiesme du mesme mois [109] vn ieune homme qui est passé
en la Nouuelle France, comme Soldat volontaire dans le vaisseau
commãdé par Monsieur le Cheualier de la Roche Iacquelin, a abiuré
publiquement les erreurs de Caluin, & embrassé les veritez Chrestiennes
& Catholiques. Monsieur le Cheualier le voyant d'vn assez bon naturel,
& l'ayant disposé à nous prester l'oreille, prit la peine luy-mesme de
l'amener en nostre petite Maison, où par apres il m'est venu trouuer
plusieurs fois luy tout seul, pour conferer auec moy; en fin apres luy
auoir éclaircy les principaux points de nostre creance, il a voulu
reporter à l'Ancienne France, le thresor de la verité que Dieu luy a
fait trouuer en la Nouuelle.
On the twenty-sixth of the same month [109] a young man who came
over into New France as a volunteer Soldier, in the ship commanded
by Monsieur the Chevalier de la Roche Jacquelin, publicly abjured
the errors of Calvin, and embraced the Christian and Catholic
truths. Monsieur the Chevalier, seeing he had a very good
disposition, and having inclined him to lend us an ear, himself
took the trouble to bring him to our little House, where he
afterwards came to see me several times alone, to confer with me.
Finally, after having enlightened him upon the principal points of
our belief, he desired to carry back to Old France the treasure of
truth which God had led him to find in the New.
Le vingt-septiesme du mesme mois, nous auons veu sur les neuf [110]
heures du soir ou enuiron vne grande éclypse de Lune, laquelle à mon
aduis n'aura paru en France que sur les deux ou trois heures apres
minuit.
On the twenty-seventh of the same month, we saw, towards nine [110]
o'clock in the evening or thereabout, a great eclipse of the Moon,
which in my opinion did not appear in France until two or three
hours after midnight.
