In his wrltin and bls plendli ercigns there has been recorded ample evidence of this great passion of an adventurous and stormy life. He quoted the holy scriptures and prophe cies therein to prove that he had been selected to accomplish this and that the holy sepulcher was to be returned to the Christians through him as a divine instrument. Before sailing from Palos on his first voyage to America he exacted what he believed to be a promise from the king uml queen thnt whatever profits might accrue as a result of the adventure should be employed for the crusade. In his journal, under the date of December 26, 1492, we read the hope that his men find "tuns" of gold and spices “iu such quantity that be fore three years the sovei’ tgns will undertake to prepare to go and con quer tlm holy sepulcher,” “that all the profits of tills, my undertaking, should lie spent In the conquest of Jerusa lem.” This pious ambition is ascribed to an incident which occurred while the Spanish sovereigns were at war against Granada. during the siege of Baza, nt which Columbus was present. While before the city two friars ar rived with a message from the grand soldnn of Egypt in which the Moslem threatened to put to death all the Christians In his dominions and de stroy the holy sepulcher at Jerusalem If the war against the Moslems of Gra nada was not terminated. The Indlgnntion of Columbus was so Intense at this menace that he formed resolutions that were never forgotten. That be shonld aspire to ttie recovery of the holy place was not unusual, for every Christian prince and man of power nourished this one great dream of every pious person of the Middle Ages. On bls return from the first voyage to America he made a vow. hoping to use his portion of the possible treas ure acquired from the trip, to furnish wjthln seven years an army of 4,00») horse and 50,000 foot soldiers for a crusade and a similar force within the five following years. This was not forgotten. Before starting on his fourth voyage he wrote to l’ope Alex ander VII mentioning bls vow uml In forming him of his sorrow at not being nble to fulfill It, due to his arrest and removal from pRwer. When his outlook was brightest many royal favoj-s were granted Co lumbus. Some of the royal promts«« never matured. In a very Imposing in strument known as the mnjorat, dated February 22. 1496, he provided for his family and disposed of the wealth that he expected would surely flow Into his coffers. He made provision that the one supreme ambition of his whole life be carried to its desired end. In one of the articles of the docu- 1 inent appeared the words, "Because at the time I started to go and discover I the Indies It was with the intention of supplicating the king and queen, our sovereigns, that the revenue which their highnesses might have In the In dies they should determine to spend In the conquest of Jerusalem.” Ills will provided for n crusade directed by his descendants. During the period of his disfavor, while Jealous enemies were Intriguing against him. he recalled that his vow remained unfulfilled. He considered It Ids duty to arouse Ids sovereign» to tile enterprise, to remind them thnt It was originally proposed ns tl. • great object to which the profits of ills discoveries should be directed. In the library of the cathedral of Seville there still exists the manuscript vol ume that he prepared with the aid of a friar, quoting all those passages of the Bible and In the writings of the Fathers which he conceived to contain prophecies of the discovery of the new world and the recovery of the holy sepulcher, events which he attempted to show would succeed one another and be accomplished through him as a divine agent.
