[36] "Except the master-of-camp Endaya, who charged him nothing for
the house in which he lived, and spent more than twenty thousand
pesos in maintaining him and all his retinue. Endaya made all these
demonstrations because he had taken refuge in a church, and the
patriarch [i.e., Tournon] condoned all his offences and enabled him
to leave his asylum--without any one saying anything to him; nor
did the judges dare to lay hands on a man whom the legate a latere
had pardoned." Other favors and honors were conferred on Endaya by
Tournon. (Zúñiga, Hist. de Philipinas, pp. 412-413.)
[37] Archbishop Camacho was appointed in 1703 bishop of Guadalajara;
and early in July, 1706, he went to take possession of that
see (which he retained until his death in 1712), abandoning his
diocese of Manila. He left as ruler of that see Don Francisco Rayo
(who was not a member of the cabildo), despite the protests of the
chapter-members. On August 19 the cabildo declared the see vacant,
and chose as its provisor the archdeacon Doctor José Altamirano y
Cervantes. At first his title was contested by Rayo; but the latter
was finally induced to give up his pretensions, and by August 28 "the
cabildo remained in peaceable possession of its government and vacant
see." (Ventura del Arco MSS., iv, pp. 247, 248. In the same volume,
pp. 135-206, is a detailed account of Camacho's controversy with the
orders and the papal delegate, with a royal decree on that subject,
dated May 20, 1700.)
[38] "As soon as he took possession of his archbishopric, he began
to busy himself with the building of the seminary of San Phelipe;
and the first error that he committed was, to place the arms of the
cabildo on the front of the edifice together with the arms of the king,
which he placed on one of the stories. He also drew up the instructions
for this collegiate seminary; and when he came to the admission of
students he did not remember the [rights of the] royal patronage, and
arranged for their admission without mentioning the vice-patron. The
king's fiscal, who saw therein one of his Majesty's prerogatives
wounded, strongly opposed the exercise of the archbishop's claims,
and from this ensued some mortifications to his illustrious Lordship;
but the college was completed, and the seminarists were appointed,
as the king commanded." (Zúñiga, Hist. de Philipinas, pp. 417, 418.)
