R.:Gen.,II.,7,saysthatGodbreathedintomanthebreathoflife,and "manbecamealivingsoul."Butthat textalreadyindicatestheinfusionofa principleadditionaltothebody,merelyimplyingthatthebodyandtheinfusedsoulcombinedtoformtheone humannature.Thatmanisacorn-

Soonitbecameapparenttohimthat thisAnglicanchurchofwhichhewas amember,andinwhoseordershe hadbeenordaineddeacon,wasnotthe trueChurch,theChurchofChrist.The questionthatremainedwaswhether onedidwronginremainingamember ofthehereticalchurch,andCampion hadtochoosebetweenCatholicismand Anglicanism,andchoosesoontoo,beforeitwouldhetoolatetorlrawback.

Thewayofotherslayclearbefore him,ofothersbrilliantlikehimself, whohadchosentoconformtotheProtestantreligion,andwhofrompoor scholarshadbecomerichandinfluential.ManyofthemhadbeenordainedasAnglicanministers,anumberof themwereBishopsofthenewreligion. Andhe,EdmundCampion,wasas cleverasanyofthem;hewasunder thepatronageoftheEarlofLeicester; hehadattractedthefavourablenotice ofQueenElizabethherself.Hewould beordainedanAnglicanminister,he wouldbesecureofhisincome,probablysomedayhewouldbemadea bishop.Hewouldbesecure,comfortable,respected,andwouldhavetime forthequietstudythatheloved.

Afterall,thenewreligionwasrapidlybecomingthereligionofhiscountry;itwasthereligionofthegovernment,oftheuniversities,ofmanyof hisfriends,ofsomanylearnedmen. Thereligiouschangeswereregrettable, buthewasnottoblameforthem,and muchofthedoctrineandpracticeof theoldfaithstillremained.

ForalmosttwoyearsCampionremainedatDouai.Thenin1573,lie left,tojointheSocietyofJesus,which hadbeenfoundedbySt.Ignatiusonly thirtyyearsbefore,forhefeltthat Godcalledhimtoalifeofperfectperpetualpoverty,chastity,andobedience asaJesuit,andtoworkthustosave souls.HewassenttoPraguetodo hisnoviciate,completedhisstudies there,andwasordainedpriest.
