Guerrero's life and character.
[50] Lorenzo Goreto was born at Ferrara, November 1, 1592, and entered
his novitiate at Rome, December 8, 1608. He went to the Philippines
(1622), and labored in the Visayan missions, where he died June 17,
1638. Murillo Velarde says that he was master of theology in Manila,
and that he was a very learned man. See his _Hist. Philipinas,_
fol. 102 verso-103; and Sommervogel's _Bibliotheque_.
Luis de Pedraza was a native of Baeza, Spain, and entered the Jesuit
order in the province of Andalusia. He was a prominent laborer in
the Visayan missions, and held important posts in the college of
Manila. Later, he went to Mindanao, and died at Zamboanga, October 22,
1639. (Murillo Velarde, _Hist. Philipinas,_ fol. 107.)

1633 and 1635 he was vicar-provincial in Formosa, being also vicar of
Nuestra Senora del Rosario, at Tanchui. After thirty-six years' labor
in the Indias, he died at Lallo-c about 1651. See _Resena biografica,_
