[42] This quotation includes a portion of the second verse and all of the third, fourth, and fifth verses of the sixth chapter of the apocryphal book of Wisdom, and is as follows in English: "... Learn, ye that are judges of the ends of the earth. Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in multitudes of nations; For power is given you by the Lord, and strength by the most High, who will examine your works, and search out your thoughts; Because being ministers of his kingdom, you have not judged rightly, nor kept the law of justice, nor walked according to the will of God." [43] Cf. La Concepcion's account of these controversies (_Hist. de Philipinas_, v, pp. 254-290). He says that Corcuera arrived in the islands at the height of the discussion in Manila over the maintenance of a fortified post at Zamboanga in Mindanao; that he was on intimate terms with the Jesuits, who were anxious for the benefit of their missions to have Zamboanga occupied; and that their influence led Corcuera to support that measure. La Concepcion blames the Jesuits throughout the controversy with the archbishop; and his account is more detailed than Diaz's. See also accounts by Murillo Velarde (_Hist. de Philipinas_, fol. 86-89), and Montero y Vidal (_Hist. Filipinas_, pp. 192-197). [44] The exile of Archbishop Felipe Pardo occurred March 13, 1683, and his restoration to his see, November 15, 1684. The matter aroused considerable controversy which extended over a number of years. The controversy was most bitter, and the manuscripts concerning it pro and con aggregate some tons, and are scattered in various archives. The episode will be noticed in its place in this series. [45] Murillo Velarde says (fol. 89, verso) that this occurred in 1637. Colin does not mention the controversy between the archbishop and governor; and most of the friar chroniclers omit it. [46] The following chapter consists of a short extract from book 1, chap. i, p. 4, of Baltasar de Santa Cruz's _Historia_, which is followed by a heavy and would-be learned discussion filled with classical allusions, by an auditor, Licentiate Salvador Gomez de Espinosa, of which Tirso Lopez, the Spanish editor, says that it might have been omitted without any loss to Diaz's _History_. [47] This decrease and almost total disappearance of the sardines from the bay of Manila from those times, is easily explained without the necessity of considering it a miracle, by the great movement of coastwise trading vessels, which have come into those waters, from which as is known, several species of fish flee.--_Fray Tirso Lopez._ [48] _Guerrero_ means "warrior." [49] He died on July 1, 1641, aged seventy-five years. La Concepcion cites (_Hist. de Philipinas,_ v, pp. 301-303) the book of memoirs preserved in the Manila cathedral (mentioned by Diaz, _ante_. near the end of chap, xvii), for various particulars regarding Archbishop Guerrero's life and character.
