He says that this freedom has excited distaste among the Armenians, whom Perkins' countryman refers to as Orthodox, in Ispahan (Isfahan) and Tabreez (Tabriz). Sheil recommends therefore that if conversions are taking place, there be no boasting about it which could attract notice and possibly cause a renewal in the former restrictions.
