[77] The plan of Malaca in Bellin's _Atlas maritime_ (Paris, 1764), iii, 46, indicates this church, stating that it was then a magazine within the fort. Other public buildings are located--the Chinese pagoda and bazar, the Mahometan mosque, etc. See Valentyn's account, descriptive and historical, of "Malakka," in his _Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indien_, part v, book vi, pp. 308-360; it contains a large engraving, a view of the city of Malaca. [78] A small city in the province of Badajoz, Spain. [79] Cf. La Concepcion's account (_Hist. de Philipinas_, iv. pp. 330-366) of the ravages committed by the Dutch; the despatch of a fleet from India at Silva's request (made through the Jesuits Gomez and Ribera), and its conflicts with Malays and Dutch at Malacca; Silva's preparations for the joint expedition; his journey to Malacca, and death there; and the return of his fleet to Manila, and failure of all this costly enterprise. La Concepcion mentions Ribera's account (p. 344), and says (p. 337); "We have a complete diary, written by the rector of Manila [Ribera], from the twenty-first of November, when they hoisted sail at Cavite"--that is, when he went on the embassy to India in 1614. Apparently his account, as here presented, has been synopsized and abridged by Ventura del Arco, who has also borrowed somewhat from Ledesma's letter (_post_). [80] This part of the document is the version of Ribera's letter which appears in Colin's _Labor evangelica_, pp. 802-806. It is here presented as containing some matter not in the other copy, and as showing the methods of the respective editors. [81] _i.e._, Kocchi. As in all foreign words ending with a vowel, the Portuguese have nasalised the "i." In 1505 it was written "Coxi." See A.C. Burnell's note in _Voyage of Linschoten_ (Hakluyt Society's publications, London, 1885), i, p. 68. This city lies some thirty miles north of Cape Comorin. [82] Pedro de Francisco, S.J., was born at Mala, in the Zaragoza diocese, in 1607. He was admitted to the Society in 1626, and went to the Indias, where he taught grammar, and for seven years theology. He labored at Cochin, and became rector of the Macao seminary, whence he was driven by the Dutch. He was at Macassar in 1652, but his name does not appear in the catalogue for 1655. See Sommervogel's _Bibliographie_. [83] Alberto Laercio or Laerzio, S.J., was born at Orte in 1557, admitted to the Society in 1576, and set out for the Indies, where he made his profession at Goa, July 9, 1590. For twelve years he was master of the novitiates, rector of Salsette, and associate-visitor, for three years vice-provincial, and for six years provincial. He died at Cochin in 1630.
