sent to Cagayan, where
he remained until 1641, when he set out for Manila in order to return
to Spain at the king's command, but was drowned at Cabicungan. He
continued the history of Japan written by Orfanell, and printed it
in 1632 at Madrid; and he also compiled and published a Japanese
dictionary in 1631 at Rome. See _Resena biografica_, i, pp. 338, 339.

[39] Diego de Ordax was born in Leon in 1598, and professed in the
convent of Burgos in 1618. In 1626 he was missionary in Laglag, became
subprior of Manila in 1629, prior of Santo Nino de Cebu in 1630, and
commissary-procurator in the court of Spain in 1632. He returned to
the islands in 1635, and in 1637 was appointed prior of Cebu for the
second time and afterward definitor and missionary of Oton (1638),
prior of Manila (1644 and 1656), and provincial (1647 and 1659). See
Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 103.

[40] This interdict was imposed by only the local ecclesiastical
authorities; but the period in which it occurred renders desirable
and interesting a mention of the controversy (then fresh in men's
minds) between Paul V and the Republic of Venice, in which the papal
interdict on a state or commonwealth was deprived (1606) of its power
as a weapon of the papal authority. A full account of this episode,
in which the chief figure was the celebrated Fra Paolo Sarpi, is given
by Andrew D. White in his "Fra Paolo Sarpi," in _Atlantic Monthly_,
xciii (1904), pp. 45-54, 225-233. Cf. Ranke's _Lives of the Popes_
(Foster's translation, London), ii, pp. 110-130, and iii, 123, 124; and
Alzog's _Universal Church History_ (Pabisch and Byrne's translation,
Cincinnati, 1878), iii, pp. 365, 366.

[41] The University of Mexico was founded in 1551 (some make it
earlier), its endowment being begun with property left for that purpose
by Mendoza, the first viceroy, and afterward increased by royal grants
and private bequests. In the troublous times of the nineteenth century,
the national university languished, and finally perished.

[42] This quotation includes a portion of the second verse and all
of the third, fourth, and fifth verses of the sixth chapter of the
apocryphal book of Wisdom, and is as follows in English: "... Learn,
ye that are judges of the ends of the earth.

Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in
multitudes of nations;

For power is given you by the Lord, and strength by the most High,
who will examine your works, and search out your t
