At their head was their Sub-Prior, a char- acter whose influence on the after position of Spain was so great, that we may. not pass it by, without more notice than our tale itself perhaps would demand. To the world, as to his brethren and superiors, in the mon- astery, a stem unbending spirit, a rigid austerity, and unchanging severity of mental and physical discipline, characterized his whole bearing and daily conduct.
11 150 THE VALE OP CEDARS; Yet, his severity proceeded not from the superst...ition and bigotry of a weak mind or misanthropic feeling.
Though his whole time and thoughts appeared devoted to the interest of his monastery, and thence to reliev- ing and guiding the poor, and curbing and decreasing the intemperate follies and licentious conduct of the laymen, in its immediate neighborhood; yet his ex- traordinary knowledge, not merely of human nature, but of the world at large — his profound and extensive genius, which, in after years, was displayed in the prose- cution of such vast schemes for Spain's advancement, that they riveted the attention of all Europe upon him — naturally won him the respect and consideration of Ferdinand and Isabella, whose acute penetration easily traced the natural man, even through the thick veil of monkish austerity.
