infidels to their faith. Lahontan refutes Adario's attacks on the documents of the Jesuit teachings by pointing out that it takes strength to succeed in truly living up to the professions the French make about their faith, although he acknowledges Adario's statements as just. Lahontan finds fault in the sexual relations between unmarried Huron men and women, which Adario defends in terms of the Hurons' ability to explore and choose partners liberally. Adario continues with the argument asking Lahontan to refer to the behaviors of the "French man" and not "men" in general as he does not believe that all men act as the French do especially with reference to clergy in France, that teach purity but do not practice it. Lahontan defends the French clergy by stating that a few black priests are not representative of the institution as a whole. Second Meeting: Lahontan describes the importance of the Jesuit teachings of God, and Adario responds that those teachings are confusing and that the Jesuits may baptize as many Hurons as they wish but that they should never expect the Hurons to understand the significance of baptism. Along with the criticism of baptism he notes that the black devil he speaks of is not the soul but rather in France and French laws. Lahontan explains that the importance of law is not in the laws themselves but the judges that judge with virtue, in front of which a monarch is a slave. Adario still does not seem to understand and tells an anecdote in which he talks about a journey between Rochel and Paris during which he saw a man condemned to the gallows for "having a bag of salt on him" which seems totally absurd to him as well as the French laws against hunting game. Lahontan explains that hunting is a privilege for the landlords who have certain rights, however Adario simply views these laws as prison-like and would be of no use to the Hurons. Third Meeting: Adario explains that the more he thinks about the French, the less happiness he finds among them due to their interest in money and the importance of it in their society. However, Lahontan quickly assures Adario that Europe could not live without riches, gold and silver, and without money Europe would become chaos. Adario supports the Huron way of life, living in huts and shooting arrows, while Lahontan questions
