[All the past dangers and difficulties are now overshadowed by the attempts of the Chinese pirate Kuesing, the recital of which takes up the rest of this chapter and the following one. Chapter xxvii deals principally with the rising by the Chinese of the Manila Parián, and their punishment (1662-63); and chapter xxviii, with raids of the Joloans and Mindanaos among the Visayas (1662-63), in which father Fray Francisco de Mesa, O.S.A., [110] loses his life. These various topics will be sufficiently treated hereafter.] CHAPTER XXIX Arrival of the new governor, Don Diego Salcedo; and of the mission of religious which came the same year. (1663-64) It was the will of divine Providence that, after so many and continual returns of the galleons to port, as aforesaid, the ship "San José" which had left the port of Cavite in the past year of 1662 under charge of Commander Francisco Garcia del Fresno--a native of Cadiz, and very skilful on the sea; and afterward artillery general for his Majesty--should reach Nueva España in safety. The viceroy of Nueva España was the conde de Baños, Marqués de Labrada, [111] who, after he became a widower, left the vanities of the world, took the discalced Carmelite habit, was ordained a priest, and died, bequeathing fine examples of virtue and admonition. His example was later followed by his son, Don Juan de Leiva, who received the habit of a lay religious of our father St. Augustine in the convent of San Felipe in Madrid. The successor of Don Sabiniano Manrique de Lara, namely, the master-of-camp Don Diego Salcedo, a native of Bruselas--a son of a Spanish gentleman (a native of Cuenca) and a Flemish lady--was then in the city of Méjico. He had been a very brave soldier in the Low Countries for many years, and for his services had been made master-of-camp of an army of Walloons. [112] For that reason, and because he was a favorite of Don Juan de Austria, whose captain of the guard he is said to have been, he was granted the government of these islands. On account of the fact that so many galleons had put back [to these islands] he had been detained in Méjico for several years. In the same city was also found father Fray José de Paternina, [113] a son of the convent of Badaya, who had been detained for three years with a mission of ten religious who had been sent from the province of Castilla by the procurators of this province of Filipinas, the father masters Fray Gaspar de Lorenzana and Fray Francisco de Aguilera. That mission was conducted with the money which was left owing to this province by its procurator and definitor, Fray Cristóbal Enríquez, who had died in the city of Cáceres, his native place.
