[50] Lorenzo Goreto was born at Ferrara, November 1, 1592, and entered his novitiate at Rome, December 8, 1608. He went to the Philippines (1622), and labored in the Visayan missions, where he died June 17, 1638. Murillo Velarde says that he was master of theology in Manila, and that he was a very learned man. See his _Hist. Philipinas,_ fol. 102 verso-103; and Sommervogel's _Bibliotheque_. Luis de Pedraza was a native of Baeza, Spain, and entered the Jesuit order in the province of Andalusia. He was a prominent laborer in the Visayan missions, and held important posts in the college of Manila. Later, he went to Mindanao, and died at Zamboanga, October 22, 1639. (Murillo Velarde, _Hist. Philipinas,_ fol. 107.) [51] _Maestro de prima: prima_ was the name applied to the first three hours of the day, the term being extended to universities and studies, indicating the lessons that came during that period, or the professor who gave his lectures during that period. [52] _i.e._, "as a precautionary measure." [53] Lucas Garcia, who belonged to the mission of 1615, performed missionary duties in Cagayan, and was also vicar of Fotol, of Maquila, and jointly rector of Santo Tomas, and procurator-general. He was later vicar of Gattoron, of Fotol, of Tocolana, and of Lallo-c, and also served in the province of Cagayan for a number of years. He was also definitor several times, and vicar-provincial in Cagayan. In 1633 and 1635 he was vicar-provincial in Formosa, being also vicar of Nuestra Senora del Rosario, at Tanchui. After thirty-six years' labor in the Indias, he died at Lallo-c about 1651. See _Resena biografica,_ i, p. 349. [54] The ringing of bells at a certain hour (usually sunset), which admonishes the faithful to pray for the souls in purgatory. The _alabado_ meant a hymn sung in praise of the sacrament when it was placed within the tabernacle. [55] The only Burguillos mentioned by Huerta is Pedro, a lay brother connected with the Japanese missions, who died at Manila in 1615--apparently therefore, not the one mentioned in our text. [56] The Cistercian Order was founded by St. Robert, the son of a gentleman of Champagne, who had taken the Benedictine habit, at Cistercium (the modern Citeaux) in 1098, and professed the rule of St. Benedict. The rule was very austere, but despite various reforms, it gradually became relaxed and approached the observance of other orders. The Trappists are an offshoot of this order. See Addis and Arnold's _Catholic Dictionary_, pp. 186-188. [57] An ambassador (generally a cardinal or bishop) sent by the pope to a foreign prince, with full powers.
