[79] There is no direct clue to the authorship of this document; but it was evidently written by a lawyer, and one who sided with the Jesuits and the governor. It is possible that this was Fabian de Santillan, appointed by that order as judge-conservator; it would be very natural for him, from prudential motives, to mention himself in the third person in the letter, knowing that it would almost certainly be read by others than his correspondent. [80] There is here a play on words, the text reading, _que no andan Por El camino Rl_ y derecho. _Derecho_ has a now obsolete meaning, "road," or "path." [81] That is, to inspect their morals and mode of life. [82] Fray Francisco Zamudio, an Augustinian by profession, was a native of Mechoacan, Mexico. Little information about him is available; but Perez says that Zamudio was in Manila in 1594, and died in 1636--an event which, according to Delgado (_Hist. de Filipinas_, p. 178), occurred in 1639. Diaz's mention of it, however (pp. 197-198, _ante_), would imply that the earlier date was the correct one. Perez does not mention the fact that Zamudio became a bishop.
