Antonio Gonzalez accompanied the mission of 1632, and at first was an instructor in Santo Tomas; but early in 1636 he went to Japan, where he suffered martyrdom, September 24, 1637. Sebastian Oquendo also began his labors in the Philippines as instructor at the college in Manila; he afterward held various offices in the convent there, but died at Mejico in 1651. (All these notices are obtained from _Resena biografica,_ vol. i.) _Augustinians_.--Juan de Montemayor came to Manila in 1613. He held important posts in the order, and was minister in several Indian villages; and died at Manila in 1638. Alonso Carbajal arrived at the islands in 1618. Among the posts of honor which he held was that of provincial (1644), and more than once he declined a bishopric offered to him. He also spent several years in missionary labors, among the Pampangans and Visayans, and died therein (1654). Diego de Ochoa had just come (1635) to the Filipinas mission; he ministered in several villages in Luzon, and died in 1648. (These notices are obtained from Perez's _Catalogo_.) _Franciscans_.--Geronimo del Espiritu Santo came to Manila in 1633, and in the following year became vicar-provincial. He accompanied the sisters of St. Clare to Macao (1634), who founded there a convent of their order. From January, 1635, to June, 1637, Fray Geronimo was minister-provincial; he then retired to Sampaloc, and in 1638 departed for Mexico. The ship was wrecked on the Marianas, and this priest, refusing to save his life while he could console the dying, perished with the rest, September 21, 1638. Jose de Santa Maria began his labors in the Philippines as early as 1621, and seems to have been a missionary among the Indians from 1626 to 1637. He was minister provincial during the first half of 1638; and died at Manila in 1645. Vicente Argent arrived at Manila in 1630. In alternating periods of his life he was a missionary among the Indians, and an official of his order at Manila; from January, 1643, to January, 1646, he was minister provincial. In 1656 he sailed for Mexico, but died at sea, before reaching Acapulco. (These notices are obtained from Huerta's _Estado_.) [60] Another copy of this episcopal decree (found in one of Corcuera's letters dated June 30, 1636) gives the name as here, but adds, "(I mean Santa Monica)"--an error of Corcuera's transcriber. [61] These last two names, with Fray Gaspar de Santa Maria and Fray Alonso de San Joan above, are apparently those of Recollect priests; but there is no available information regarding them.
