of innumerable provations and perils, - now I say, under the powerful protection of Mary Help of Christians, the time has come when we should take under serious consideration the means [716] of consolidating, perpetuating and vigorously advancing the good work already commenced..

 I should have been more solicitous in thanking Your Grace for the marked benevolence [800] with which you have honoured our Pious Society and my poor person in particular.
