[99] Pardo de Tavera cites (note 29, pp. 90, 91) several statements by Rodriguez Ovalle (whose MS. account of the siege of Manila has been used by Marqués de Ayerbe in his Sitio y conquista de Manila) to show that a few of the religious tried to incite the Indians in the provinces to rise against the Spaniards, and some others became bandits; and that Rojo was jealous of Anda's position and authority. [100] "Law 81, tit. xiv, book i of the Recopilación de Indias, issued in 1594, provides that 'the religious may not be served by the Indians; but, in very necessary things, they may receive such service by paying them for it.' The construction of the village churches has been accomplished by obliging the Indians to work gratis, to furnish the materials gratis, and to do everything gratis; the same procedure also served for building the convent or house of the cura." See note 80, ante, p. 146; also the report made by Auditor Gueruela on his visit to Camarines in 1702, in VOL. XLII, pp. 304-308. [101] "The complaints against the sort of abuses which are mentioned in this section of Anda's Memorial are precisely those which the Filipino people formulated; it was those abuses which drove the Filipinos to form the Katipunan, to rise in armed revolt, and to struggle against the Spanish government, in order to gain escape from friar dominion. Recent occurrences, and the publicity regarding the promoters of the Filipino insurrection, render it unnecessary for us to comment further on the words of Anda." (Pardo de Tavera, note 31, pp. 91, 92.) [102] Sínodo: here a synonym of estipendio (stipend), being the name of the stipend allowed to priests in America and the Philippines. [103] "I do not recognize the word parilusclas, in the memorial; perhaps it is an error of the copyist. The fact is that the sick are conveyed in a hammock, a litter, or a sedan-chair to the door of the convent, where the cura comes down to confess them, give the viaticum, or apply the holy oils, as the case demands." (Pardo de Tavera, note 32, p. 92.) [104] "That his name shall be blotted from the Book of Life"--a statement made in the sensational sermon of the Jesuit Puch in 1764 (see pp. 24-26, ante). Pardo de Tavera says (note 33, p. 92) that this occurred in Lima; he cites also a letter by Corcuera in 1636 (see our VOL. XXVI, pp. 60-72) to show that the political use of the pulpit by the friars was a practice of long standing. [105] See account of the Santa Ynes mine in note 55, ante, p. 107. [106] See the first document of this volume, "Events in Filipinas," for mention of this and other reforms made later by the Spanish government, which are recommended by Anda in this memorial.
