But to my surprise and extreme displeasure I learned of the calumnious opposition and aggravation that he has just suffered by being replaced by a foreigner. For me this event is nothing else than one more proof of the detestable perversity of the world in which we live, a perversity that from now on truly makes the world intolerable for me.

I have tried many medicines, but they produce only ephemeral and passing improvements. I think that God no longer wants to do anything else with my deeds and wants me quickly removed from the world. I assure you that, for me, this is something more to be desired than feared. I understand well enough the vanity and evil of the world.
