son of [the convent of] La Puebla de los Angeles (where he lectured
on theology), and native of the same city; father Fray Antonio de
Velasco, son of the convent of Mexico, and native of the same city;
father Fray Juan Marquez, of the same convent and city; father Fray
Diego de Figueroa, son of [the convent of] Santo Domingo at Mexico, and
native of the same city; father Fray Felipe Muñoz, native of Mexico,
and son of our convent of Santo Domingo in the same city; brother Fray
Antonio Sanchez, an acolyte, son of the convent of Santo Domingo of La
Puebla, and native of the same city; brother Fray Jacinto Altamirano,
a lay-brother, son of [the convent of] Santo Domingo at La Puebla, and
native of that town. From the province of Andalucia came only father
Fray Raymundo del Valle, son of Ronda, from our convent of San Pedro
Martir. It is not known here where he was born, for he was soon sent
to the province of China, where he is at present. We shall discuss
him later. In that mission came also a boy named Sebastian Galvan,
a brother of Archbishop Don Fray Juan Lopez, who took the habit on
arriving at a proper age.
An intermediary chapter had been held on April 25 of that year 43. Our
Lord, beholding this his province so sad, was pleased in His charity
to visit it by sending the said mission as well as the other small
mission that came by way of Macasar. Allowing for their misfortune,
it proved a great consolation to see our so beloved brothers come
safely through the storm, although they came swimming and naked;
for immediately they honored us greatly in the employment in which
obedience placed them.
[The remainder of the chapter concerns Chinese affairs.]
