2. "Reflections on the memorial presented to his Holiness Clement
XIII by the general of the Jesuits, in which are related various
deeds of the superiors and missionaries of that order in all parts of
the world, intended to frustrate the measures of the popes against
their proceedings and doctrines, but which demonstrate the absolute
incorrigibleness of that body. Translated from the Italian. Madrid;
by Joachim de Ibarra. In the year one thousand, seven hundred,
and sixty-eight. This will be found in Francisco Fernandez street,
in front of the steps of San Phelipe el Real."
3. "Continuation of the portraiture of the Jesuits, drawn to the life
by the most learned and illustrious Catholics, etc. Third edition,
with permission of the authorities. At Madrid, in the shop of the
widow of Ericeo Sanchez. In the year one thousand, seven hundred,
and sixty-eight."
4. "Portraiture of the Jesuits, drawn to the life by the most learned
and most illustrious Catholics: authorized judgment formed of the
Jesuits, with authentic and undeniable testimonies by the greatest
and most distinguished men of both Church and State, from the year
1540, in which their order was founded, until 1650. Translated from
the Portuguese into Castilian, in order to banish the obstinate
prejudices and voluntary blindness of many unwary and deluded persons
who close their eyes against the beauteous splendor of the truth. Third
edition. With permission of the authorities, at Madrid. At the shop of
the widow of Elicio Sanchez. In the year one thousand, seven hundred,
and sixty-eight."
[154] It seems that Auditor Basaraz prohibited the circulation of
these books, in which he was supported by Raón; consequently the books
that had been seized were held back, notwithstanding Santa Justa's
protest, and the matter was not settled in court, as it should have
been. (Montero y Vidal, Hist. de Filipinas, ii, pp. 196, 224.)
[155] Referring to the Order of St. Francis, since many of its members
were martyred in the Japanese persecutions. (About the time of the
expulsion of the Jesuits, their enemies declared that, while martyrs
abounded in the other religious orders, the Jesuits escaped that fate
among the heathen.) In the other missions, the allusion is to the
noted controversy over the Chinese rites, in which the Jesuits were
accused of undue laxity and connivance with heathen customs; the same
accusation was also made against them in some of the American missions.
[156] Marginal note: "Father Aloysius Knapp was born at Rheinfelden,
canton of Aargau, in Switzerland, in 1720; entered the Society (in
the province of Upper Germany) in 1740, and professed in Mexico in
1749. Thence he went to the Philippines; after exile therefrom he
returned to his native land, where he died in 1775."
[157] See account of this council on pp. 41, 42, ante. At that time
the governor was Anda, and the archbishop was Santa Justa.
