In 1644, a general chapter of the Men- dicant orders was held at Rome, in which it was resolved to erect five Universities in Ireland, one for each of the five pro- vinces, in the following towns: — Dublin, Limerick, Cashel, Athenry, and Coleraine.*^ The Capuchins were received by the Irish with every de- monstration of popular favour, and entered the city in an im- prudent procession, in which they seem to have ostentatiously displayed the novel habits of their order, and their peculiar reli- gious ceremonies.
