no winds of the sea along that coast; therefore the moorings of the vessel were all ashore. While in this condition, and with a cargo of lumber, unexpectedly so furious a wind sprang up on the sea, that the ship ran aground without being able to make any resistance. As the vessel was laden with lumber, there was no remedy. The wind was for no other purpose than the above-mentioned [destruction], since it ceased its fury with the loss of the ship. The admiral suffered this blow patiently, for he understood that the Lord had no other reason in it than to avenge the wrong done to His religious. _Mihi vindicta, et ego retribuam._ [52] For the Lord esteems the honor of His ministers as His own, and thus charged them, saying: _Nolite tangere Christos Meos, et in Prophetis meis nolite malignari._ [53] All the others understood this and were warned. Often since that have I heard him say to an encomendero, that even though the missionary should destroy his encomienda, he would neither enter suit against him, nor do anything to him that he should not do. For the judgment of men is deceptive, and their passion generally leads them astray and casts them headlong. Our father Fray Alonso de Baraona was very sensitive regarding this occurrence, and set it right by advancing the father and making him prior of Santisimo Nombre de Jesus, and visitor for those convents. Thus he voted in this chapter which elected father Fray Juan Enriquez, and himself obtained therefrom the convent of Octong, the chief one of the island.
