NOTES

[1] According to the _Diary_ of Richard Cocks, this prince was the
father-in-law of Calsa Sama, the youngest son of the shogun Hidétada.

[2] Pedro de Avila joined the Franciscan missions in the Philippines
in 1616, and immediately requested from his superiors permission to
go to Japan. This was finally granted; he went there in 1619, but was
imprisoned for preaching the faith, in 1620, and, after nearly two
years of most painful and wretched imprisonment, was burned at the
stake at Nangasaqui, on September 10, 1622, at the age of thirty years.

[3] The original MS. of this document is badly worn, in places;
and the words enclosed in brackets, in the two following paragraphs,
indicate the conjectures of the transcriber.

[4] These priests were Pedro de Zuñiga, an Augustinian, and Luis
Flores, a Dominican. In 1622, they, with the Japanese captain of
the vessel, were burned to death by a slow fire, and the crew were
beheaded. The Japanese shogun appropriated the cargo of the ship,
leaving only the empty hull for the Dutch and English. (See Cocks's
_Diary_, i, pp. xxxvi and xxxvii.)
