the  Jesuits  in  possession  of  the  cloisters  in  question.  But  now,,
behold  !  the  two  abbots  protested  energetically  against  the  em-
bezzlement effected  by  Father  Lamormain,  and  plainly  accused
the  latter  of  a  premeditated  rascality.  The  same  was  done,
although  in  mild  language,  by  the  Imperial  President  of
the  Court  Chamber  and  Privy  Councillor,  Abt  Anton  Wolfiradt
von  Kremsmiinster,  who  had  been  present  during  the  conversa-
tion between  the  Father  Confessor  and  the  two  abbots,  and  it
therefore  appears  tolerably  certain  that  the  reproach  was  justifi-
able. Nevertheless,  Father  Lamormain  adhered  to  his  pretext,
and,  of  course,  the  sons  of  Loyola  were  obliged  to  him  for  doing,
so.  Thereby,  however,  a  most  violent  strife  at  once  arose
between  the  older  Orders  of  monks  and  the  Jesuits,  and  botb
parties  contended  together  with  all  the  weapons  upon  which  they
could  lay  their  hands.  More  especially  a  most  lively  paper  war
developed  itself  between  them,  in  which  the  sons  of  Loyola
were  principally  represented  by  the  Fathers  Paul  Laymann  and
Lorenz  Forer,  professors  of  the  High  School  at  Dillengen,  as
well  as  by  the  frequently-mentioned  Johann  Crusius  of  Bremen,
while  the  older  monkish  Orders  found  elegant  and  eloquent
defenders  in  the  Benedictine  Bomanus  Hay  of  Ochsenhausen,
and  in  the  celebrated  critic,  Kaspar  Scioppius,  better  known  a&
Schoppe.
