(the year 676), he is castellan of the presidio and forts of Cavente
[sc., Cavite], which is one of the best ports in these islands. We
all had part in the consolations and advantages of that fortunate
patache; but this holy province had more than all, for a large mission
came for it. That vessel brought thirty religious, [31] who were in
charge of father Fray Juan Bautista de Morales, who, as we have said,
and as we shall tell more at length when we write his life, went to
Europa by way of East India in 1640. Now he returned with this fine
company of soldiers, selected by the hand of God for these missions
of His. He came also with many benedictions and favorable despatches
from Roma and España. He brought to the convent of Manila the jubilee
[32] of the forty hours for fifteen years; it was assigned from
the fifteenth of September, and care is taken to ask in time for its
continuation by the apostolic see. He brought one also for San Juan de
Letran and another for San Juan del Monte. He also brought an apostolic
bull, from his Holiness Innocent Tenth of blessed memory, for the
erection of a university in the college of Santo Tomas of Manila, and
letters from the king our sovereign (of which we shall treat later);
and the resolutions which were taken in the holy city of Roma in regard
to the administration of the fields of Christendom in China (which
we shall also tell). He also brought many other despatches and rules
which concern the order, which will be mentioned when this history
demands them. The religious who came in that mission are as follows:
[33] The vicar-general, Fray Bautista de Morales; father Fray Felipe
Pardo, son of [the convent of] San Pablo in Valladolid, and master of
the students in the same house; father Fray Pedro Benitez, son of the
[convent of] Santo Domingo in Xerez, fellow of Santo Thomas in Sevilla,
and teacher of writing there; father Fray Salvador Mexia, son of [the
convent of] San Pablo in Sevilla, and fellow of Santo Thomas in the
same city; father Fray Benito Perez, son of [the convent of] San Pablo
in Sevilla,and formerly lecturer in the humanities at Santo Thomas;
father Fray Juan Camacho, son of the convent and college of Nuestra
Señora del Rosario in Almagro; father Fray Juan de Paz, son of [the
convent of] San Pablo in Cordova, deacon, fellow of Santo Thomas in
Sevilla, and teacher of arts in the same college; father Fray Domingo
de Navarrete, son of the convent in Peñafiel, fellow of San Gregorio in
Valladolid, where he lectured on arts; father Fray Pedro Camacho, son
of [the convent of] San Pablo in Sevilla; father Fray Victorio Riccio,
son of [the convent of] Santo Domingo in Fiesculi [sc., Fiesole] and
lecturer; father Fray Timotheo de San Antonio, son of [the convent
of] San Marcos in Florencia; father Fray Justiniano de San Jacinto,
a Pole, who went from the province of España; father Fray Bernardo
Cejudo, assistant lecturer, son of the convent and college of Nuestra
