She ground to powder a small piece of a bone of Father Brebeuf, the Jesuit martyr, and secretly mixed the sacred dust with the patient's gruel ; whereupon, says Mother Juchereau, " this intractable man forthwith became gentle as an angel, begged to be instructed, embraced the faith, and abjured his errors publicly with an admirable fervor.
Sida 24 - Churchmembers alone had the right to vote. There was no choice but to remain politically a cipher, or embrace, or pretend to embrace, the extremest dogmas of Calvin.

I would not have been taken alive, if, to my sorrow, I had not feared that I was not in a fit state to die.
