[145] Diaz says (pp. 786, 788) that Dona Josefa "ruled her husband more than was desirable," and that "she uttered such contemptuous reproaches against the governor and the archbishop, as she was a very resolute and spirited woman, and extremely haughty and fearless," that the governor felt obliged to send her into banishment. [146] Regarding Herrera's arrest, see note 63, ante, p. 159. [147] This and several other documents that are unsigned are presented here--accepting them as credible, on account of their evident authenticity--in order to fill out the relation of the Pardo controversy with relations made at the time, and by participants in those events. All except the final extract from Salazar are obtained from Ventura del Arco's transcripts from MSS. in the collection of Jesuit papers that was seized by the Spanish government when it expelled that order from Spain and her colonies. [148] Spanish, missas de Aguinaldo means "a Christmas or New Year's present;" the word is derived, according to Echegaray's Diccionario general etimologico (Madrid, 1887), from the Celtic word eguinand, of the above meaning. Evidently these masses were made the vehicle for heathen allusions or symbols, if not for actual rites. [149] This was the treasurer (and afterward cantor) of the cathedral, Jeronimo de Herrera y Figueroa. [150] This was the Dominican friar Francisco Villalba. [151] Pardo was sent to Lingayen, "certainly not to give him the consolation of residing among his brethren of the order, but to keep him under the authority of the notorious Don Francisco Pizarro, bishop of Vigan [i.e., of Nueva Segovia], with whom he had just had an annoying controversy" (Resena biografica, i, p. 476). [152] "Under penalty of 4,000 pesos; on the ground that his spiritual jurisdiction was suspended and barred, by virtue of his banishment" (Diaz, Conquistas, p. 762). [153] "The dean opened all the prisons of his tribunal, liberating all the prisoners therein--although among these there were several bigamists; and one who was not only a heretic but a leader of heretics. For, among other heresies which he taught, one was that God had a beginning, [a doctrine] which only very learned men understood. Another was a prebend whom his illustrious Lordship held as a recluse in our college, for heinous and atrocious crimes, whose final end was a sentence of degradation, and delivery to the secular arm; the dean settled this case, without examining the documents in the case (which they did not find), by condemning him to six months of banishment to a country house of recreation." (Salazar, Hist. Sant. Rosario, p. 242.) [154] "They say, peace, peace: when there was no peace" (Jeremias 6: 14). [155] Salazar gives some instances of this (p. 245): in the Dominican churches the minister refused to say mass until certain persons who had injured or offended ecclesiastics should go out of the consecrated walls.
