A long extract discusses the Society of Jesus, its origins with Ignatius Loyola, and its political role in Europe.

It covers accusations of ambition, obedience, wealth, and rivalry with other orders, with historical anecdotes from Saint Ignatius, founding struggles, and figures like Don John of Austria.
