The time of a successive history, although it is continuous, is not an
indivisible unit. Consequently, it is necessary in this history to take
our course from two years previous, namely, that of 1635. That year
was the third of the first provincialate of the father-commissary,
Fray Domingo Gonçales. The intermediary chapter having been held on
April 6 of the said year, on St. John's day arrived two ships from
Nueva [2] España, the "Concepción," and "San Luis" with the situado. In
them came to govern these islands, Don Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera,
knight of the Order of Alcantara; the new governor brought much succor,
and many soldiers from Perù; for he had made his voyage by way of
those kingdoms. A band of twenty-two religious came to our province,
under the vicarship of father Fray Diego Collado. Their names are
as follows: the said father-vicar, Fray Diego Collado; father Fray
Guillelmo Cortet de Visiers, of Francia, afterward a glorious martyr
in Japon (treated in the first part, [3] book 2, chapter 61); father
Fray Juan del Moral, son of [the convent of] San Pablo at Cordova;
father Fray Miguel de Ozaraza, son of [the convent at] Victoria, a
glorious martyr in Japon, and of whom the same history treats at the
same place; father Fray Juan Mallen, son of [the convent of] Santa Cruz
el Real at Granada, a collegiate of Santo Tomas in Sevilla, whence he
sailed; father Fray Antonio de Montesa, of the Canaria Islands; father
Fray Juan de los Angeles, son of [the convent of] Santo Domingo del
Campo at Zafra; father Fray Manuel de Berrio, son of [the convent of]
Santa Cruz at Segovia; father Fray Pedro de Messa, son of [the convent
at] Cordova, collegiate of Santo Tomas in Sevilla, whence he sailed;
father Fray Gabriel de Montenegro, son of [the convent of] San Pablo
at Cordova; father Fray Pedro de Chaves, son of [the convent of] San
Estevan at Salamanca; father Fray Juan Uguet, son of [the convent of]
Preachers at Valencia; father Fray Ignacio Muñoz, son of [the convent
of] San Pablo at Valladolid; father Fray Juan Cazor, a Frenchman;
father Fray Francisco de Hoyos, son of [the convent of] San Pablo at
Valladolid; father Fray Antonio de la Torre, son of [the convent of]
Regina Angelorum [i.e., Queen of Angels] at Sevilla; Fray Francisco de
Armella, an acolyte, from the province of Aragon; Fray Tomas Ramas,
an acolyte, son of [the convent of] San Vicente at Plasencia; Fray
Placido de Angulo, an acolyte, son of [the convent at] Xerez de la
Frontera; Fray Juan del Villar, an acolyte, from [the convent of]
San Pablo at Cordova; Fray Alonso de Villegas, a lay-brother, son
[of the convent of] San Pablo at Sevilla; Fray Francisco Gomez, a
lay-brother, son of [the convent of] San Domingo at Xerez. The above
are the ones who arrived, while father Fray Juan Tellez, a son of
[the convent at] San Lucar, was left in Mexico because of illness,
and came the following year. Father Fray Marco Nuñez, a son of [the
