[11] Referring to the church and convent of Santi Quattro Incoronati
(one of the titular churches of Rome), which was founded by Honorius I
(A.D. 622), on the site of a temple of Diana, in honor of four painters
and five sculptors who all were martyred for refusing to paint and
carve idols for Diocletian. See historical and descriptive account
of it in A.J.C. Hare's _Walks in Rome_, pp. 230-232.
[12] Argensola (_Conquista_), p. 317, mentions the Anhayes merchants,
and speaks of them as coming from Chincheo. See _Vol_. XII of this
series, pp. 155, 277; the word is there spelled _avay_ and auhay,
because thus written in the Spanish transcription from the original.
[13] Pedro de San Pablo made his profession in the Franciscan
province of San José, and in 1606 went to the Philippines, where
he was appointed conventual preacher of Naga. In 1609 he went to
Manila as preacher, and at the same time had charge of Santa Ana de
Sepa. October 29, 1611, he was elected definitor, and in 1616 minister
of Santa Ana de Sepa once more. He became provincial August 3, 1619,
and held that office until March 15, 1622, when he embarked for Mexico,
but died at sea. See Huerta's _Estado_.
[14] Spanish, _descalces_; literally, "barefootedness;" a term
applied to monastic organizations whose members are not permitted to
wear shoes.
[15] A reference to I Cor. i, 12, and possibly to iii, 22.
[16] Huerta says of Sotelo (p. 393): "As the preparations for his
journey to Japan were not made so promptly as he desired, he retired
to our convent of San Francisco del Monte, where he occupied himself
in the practice of all kinds of virtues until the year 1622, when
he succeeded in reaching Japan." Fuerza here apparently refers to
ecclesiastical interference with Sotelo's plans, to which reference
has been several times made in preceding volumes.
[17] Andres del Sacramento was a native of a small village in the
valley of Sayago. He made profession in the province of San Pablo,
and reached the Philippines in 1611. In October of that year he was
assigned to the village of Ligmauan, whence he went to Tacboan. At the
chapter held August 3, 1619, he was elected definitor. He afterward
ministered at Manila, Minalabag, Polangui, and again at Minalabag. He
became provincial November 18, 1628, and held that office until January
17, 1632. In that time he projected and partly executed the opening of
a navigable canal from Nueva Cáceres to the port of Pasacao. After 1632
he ministered in several villages, and was elected provincial for the
second time September 16, 1639, holding the office until January 17,
1643. He died in the convent at Manila in 1644. See Huerta's _Estado_.
