The seventh is named Don Pedro Enriquez de Artosa. He is a gentleman,
and has attended lectures in arts and theology. He is an exemplary
ecclesiastic, and is well liked in this city on account of his
character.

The eighth is named Don Bartolome de Canedo. He is the son of one of
the conquerors who served your Majesty many years in these islands. He
is a prominent and estimable man and has attended lectures in arts
and theology. He is at present my crossbearer [in processions].

The ninth is named Licentiate Manuel Rabelo. He has been long in this
country, and is a learned man and a good preacher. On account of his
qualifications he has obtained the best benefices which have been
assigned; and at present has the district of Tabuco, twelve leguas
from this city.

The tenth is named Don Diego de Velasco. He has studied arts and
theology, and is the nephew of the most deserving, exemplary, and
honored ecclesiastic that we have had in this cathedral--who was
provisor for a number of years, and schoolmaster, and distributed
all his property among pious works. He was named Don Miguel de Velazco.


_Fray Hernando_, archbishop of Manila.
