houghts;

Because being ministers of his kingdom, you have not judged rightly,
nor kept the law of justice, nor walked according to the will of God."

[43] Cf. La Concepcion's account of these controversies (_Hist. de
Philipinas_, v, pp. 254-290). He says that Corcuera arrived in the
islands at the height of the discussion in Manila over the maintenance
of a fortified post at Zamboanga in Mindanao; that he was on intimate
terms with the Jesuits, who were anxious for the benefit of their
missions to have Zamboanga occupied; and that their influence led
Corcuera to support that measure. La Concepcion blames the Jesuits
throughout the controversy with the archbishop; and his account is more
detailed than Diaz's. See also accounts by Murillo Velarde (_Hist. de
Philipinas_, fol. 86-89), and Montero y Vidal (_Hist. Filipinas_,
pp. 192-197).

[44] The exile of Archbishop Felipe Pardo occurred March 13, 1683,
and his restoration to his see, November 15, 1684. The matter aroused
considerable controversy which extended over a number of years. The
controversy was most bitter, and the manuscripts concerning it pro and
con aggregate some tons, and are scattered in various archives. The
episode will be noticed in its place in this series.

[45] Murillo Velarde says (fol. 89, verso) that this occurred in
1637. Colin does not mention the controversy between the archbishop
and governor; and most of the friar chroniclers omit it.

[46] The following chapter consists of a short extract from book 1,
chap. i, p. 4, of Baltasar de Santa Cruz's _Historia_, which is
followed by a heavy and would-be learned discussion filled with
classical allusions, by an auditor, Licentiate Salvador Gomez de
Espinosa, of which Tirso Lopez, the Spanish editor, says that it
might have been omitted without any loss to Diaz's _History_.

[47] This decrease and almost total disappearance of the sardines
from the bay of Manila from those times, is easily explained without
the necessity of considering it a miracle, by the great movement of
coastwise trading vessels, which have come into those waters, from
which as is known, several species of fish flee.--_Fray Tirso Lopez._

[48] _Guerrero_ means "warrior."

[49] He died on July 1, 1641, aged seventy-five years. La Concepcion
cites (_Hist. de Philipinas,_ v, pp. 301-303) the book of memoirs
preserved in the Manila cathedral (mentioned by Diaz, _ante_. near
the end of chap, xvii), for various particulars reg
