[19] Fray Lucas Atienza was missionary in Ibahay in 1608, of Dumalag
in 1614, and prior of the convent of Ternate 1615-1617. Returning
in the latter year to the islands, he was in charge of the mission
of Paranaque in 1623 and of Tayabas in 1624. He was assigned to
the island of Formosa, but did not go. He died at Tiaong (Tayabas)
in 1631. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 188.
[20] Fray Eustaquio Ortiz was born in Alpechin in Mexico, making his
profession in the City of Mexico. On arriving at the Philippines he was
given the office of conventual procurator; and later was missionary
among the Zambales. In 1602, when prior of Bolinao, he went to Japon
with Father Guevara, remaining there six years. On returning to the
islands he became provincial secretary (1609), prior of Santo Nino
of Cebu (1614) and of Manila (1623), minister of Tondo (1626), and
lastly prior of Guadalupe, where he completed the convent in 1629. He
died May 4, 1636. He wrote two books or treatises in the Japanese
language. See Perez's _Catalogo_, pp. 45, 46.

[22] Fray Francisco de Bonifacio, a native of Sevilla, took his vows in
the Salamanca convent in 1586. He was fluent in the language of Cebu,
and labored in various missions among the Bisayas (1596-1611). The
latter year he was chosen definitor, and in 1614 presided over the
chapter. He was minister at Pasig in 1617, at Tondo in 1618, and at
Bulacan in 1620. In 1621 he went to Oton, as his presence there was
necessary. In 1626, while definitor, he acted as provincial because
of the death of Father Becerra, after which period he had care of
missions in Luzon, until his death in Manila in 1645. Two manuscripts
written by him were conserved in the convent at Cebu.
Fray Vicente Sepulveda was a native of Castilla, and professed
in that province. In the Philippines he became chief sacristan of
the Manila convent, and learned thoroughly the Pampanga dialect,
ministering in that province for five years. He was definitor in 1611,
and provincial in 1614. His term was one of discord because of his
rigorous enforcement of the laws passed by the father visitor. In 1617,
he was chosen to fill out the term of provincial, that office becoming
vacant by the death of Jeronimo de Salas. He was killed August 21,
1617, as the result of a conspiracy of brother Augustinians who were
opposed to him.
Fray Diego Gutierrez was a native of Sigueenza in the province of
Guadalajara, and professed in the convent of Agreda in 1574. He went
to the Philippines in 1578, where he had charge of various missions
in Luzon. He served as definitor during the chapters of 1578 and
1590. His death occurred at Lubao in 1613.
