[64] Reference is here made to a long and vexatious controversy
over the spiritual jurisdiction of Santa Cruz and Quiapo, between
the Jesuits and the diocesan authorities; it was settled in favor
of the Society, but not until 1678. See Murillo Velarde's account of
this dispute, in his _Historia_, fol. 89 verso-91. Cf. Colin's _Labor
evangelica_ (ed. 1663), p. 813; and La Concepcion's _Hist. Philipinas,_
pp. 281, 286. Santa Cruz is on the shore of the Pasig River opposite
Manila; above it lies Quiapo, and below it Binondo (an island formed by
two bayous from the Pasig). As previous documents have often mentioned,
Binondo was inhabited chiefly by the Chinese, as also was Santa Cruz.
[65] Diego de Bobadilla was born at Madrid, September 19, 1590;
and at the age of sixteen entered the Jesuit order. He came to the
Philippines in 1615, and spent fifteen years as an instructor in
the Jesuit college at Manila, and five years as its rector. In 1637
he went to Rome as procurator for his order, and returned in 1643
with a band of forty-two missionaries. Again he became rector of the
college, and in 1646 was elected provincial. While making an official
visitation of the Mindanao missions, he died at Carigara, February 26,
1648. See Murillo Velarde's sketch of his life, _Hist. Philipinas,_
fol. 159, 160.
[66] Francisco Pinelo, who had been prior of the Dominican convent at
Tabora, Portugal, came to the Philippines in 1632, where for some time
he was vicar of San Telmo at Cavite. Afterward he went to Europe on
business of the order--part of which was to secure the dissolution of
the Congregation of St. Paul, formed by Fray Diego Collado, in 1636,
with the Dominicans who came then with Corcuera (who were called
_Barbones_; see Diaz's account _ante_, p. 161). Pinelo remained in
Spain, dying in the convent at Segovia, January 23, 1643. See _Resena
biografica_, i, pp. 391, 420.
[67] There is an evident play on words in this passage. The
original reads: "_Que le auian hecho papa o papilla y que con el
les auian querido dar papillas_." "_Papilla_" is the diminutive of
"_papa_"--meaning "pope," or "pap"; and the phrase _dar papilla_
is used to mean "deceiving by insidious caresses."
