[30] Religious life (religion): Religion, as used by Aduarte, means solely the rule of life followed by a religious order, the order itself, or the ideal of the order; and derivative words have corresponding significations. For instance: "at the expense of the order (la religion)," book ii, p. 77; "to the no small credit of our religious community (nuestra religion), with the members of which (cuyos religiosos) they generally have most to do," book ii, p. 83; "the act which he was performing because of his duty as a religious (acto religioso)," book ii, p. 104; "sufficient to give glory to an entire religious order (una religion entera);" "all the religious orders (las religiones) in the Indias." As an adjective, a "very religious" friar (religiosissimo padre, book ii, p. 376) means one who remarkably approaches the ideal of the order. In this sense religioso has generally been rendered by "devoted" in this translation. The noun "religious," in the sense of "a member of an order," and the adjective in such phrases as "a religious house," "the religious life," are still not rare in English.--Henry B. Lathrop. [31] The full text of these ordinances may be found in Reseña biográfica, i, pp. 18-30; it is in Latin, accompanied by a Spanish translation, which differs considerably from Aduarte's, following the Latin more closely than his. The devotion to the Virgin Mary which is here mentioned (also known as the coronilla, or "little crown") is given ut supra, p. 29. The initial letters of the first words in the psalms selected for this purpose form the name "Maria," as do those of the corresponding antiphons--thus producing a double acrostic on her name. Gregory XIII granted an indulgence of one hundred days for those reciting this devotion. [32] The present province of Bataán is on the western shore of Manila Bay, being the peninsula formed between that bay and the sea. But the description in the text, together with other mention of Bataán (or Batán) in old documents, makes it evident that the name was applied in Aduarte's time to at least the western part of the delta at the mouth of the Rio Grande de Pampanga, in the southwest part of the present Pampanga province. [33] Salaries were paid from the royal treasury in installments thrice a year, hence in thirds (tercios). [34] So in the text, but evidently referring to the beginning only of constructing the new church. [35] i.e., "Take heed to thyself and to doctrine;" and, "in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee"--both quoted from 1 Timothy, iv, v. 16.
