[73] In 1860 when the fathers of the Society of Jesus were again
installed at Manila, that amity was again established at their
petition, thanks to the hospitality that the Augustinians showed
them in their convent at Manila, and afterward in that of Guadalupe,
until they acquired a house of their own.--Tirso Lopez, O.S.A.
[74] Juan Lozano was an excellent Visayan preacher, and ministered in
the villages of Dumangas (1635), Jaro (1644), Panay (1647), and Passi
(1650). He died in 1659, according to Pérez's Catálogo, p. 108.
[75] Doctor Diego de Cartagena, a priest expelled from the Society of
Jesus, obtained from the king a prebend in the ecclesiastical cabildo
of Manila. The cabildo and archbishop opposed this, but, under pressure
of threats by Governor Salcedo, they finally admitted Cartagena under
protest. (Montero y Vidal, Hist. de Filipinas, i, p. 333.)
[76] "We omit the rest of this chapter, as it contains some information
referring to [the favorite's] evil acts, which although almost all
taken from official records and documents, cannot be sifted by a
severe and impartial critical review; while on the other side their
publication has absolutely no interest." (Tirso López, O.S.A.)
It is to be regretted that the above editor saw fit to curtail
this chapter, or at least that he did not give it in synopsis,
however short.
[77] Verdugo means, among other things, a hangman, executioner,
or very cruel person, hence the allusion in the text.
[78] Francisco de Madrid was a missionary in Ilocos, at Tagudin
(1623), Candon (1624), Dingras (1629), Batác (1633), and Matolos
(Bulacán; 1635). He served twice as definitor (1638 and 1653), was
prior of Manila (1650), and of Candon (1651, 1654), and died at the
Manila convent in 1654. See Pérez's Catálogo, pp. 92, 93.
[79] José de la Cuesta professed in the Salamanca convent, and was
an eminent Greek scholar. He was assigned to Ilocos, and ministered
in the villages of Bantay (1638), Pasig (1645 and 1647), Tambobong,
and Bulacán (1659). He was definitor and visitor in 1653. In 1639 he
defended the convent of Tondo against the Chinese insurgents. His death
occurred in 1662; and he left two MSS., one of mystical sermons and
the other on the study of Greek. See Pérez's Catálogo, pp. 111, 112.
[80] José Betoño was a native of Madrid, and professed in the
convent of San Felipe el Real. He labored in the missions of Minalin
(1647), Lubao (1651, 1659), and Gapán (1653). He acted as subprior of
Manila in 1650, visitor and prior of Lubao in 1652, and was elected
commissary-procurator for Madrid in 1660, but died while on his voyage
to Spain in 1664. See Pérez's Catálogo, pp. 116, 117.
[81] Tomás Velasco was from Andalucia, where he was a confessor and
preacher for some years. In the Philippines he was subprior of Manila
(1644), and worked in the missions of Baoan (1645), San Pablo de
los Montes (1645), Malolos (1648), and Quingua (1650). See Pérez's
Catálogo, p. 192.
