le admitting as valid the sacraments administered by
the Society, he took from all its religious permission to minister in
Jesus de la Pena; and on March 10, 1687, he declared that the lawful
parish priest of the mission of Jesus de la Pena was the prior of
Pasig, a religious of St. Augustine. In this spoliation concurred
also, through complaisance, the governor Don Gabriel Curuzelaegui,
who on March 23 of the said year decreed that Don Juan Pimentel,
alcalde of Tondo, should begin proceedings against the Society in
the mission of Jesus de la Pena, as the king commanded; and that he
should assist the provisor in tearing down our church--which he did,
commanding the Indians to demolish that temple. "What obedience! the
monster of the Indias, an unnatural birth of remoteness, of power,
and of prejudice." (Murillo Velarde, Hist. de Philipinas, fol. 345 b.)

[37] Antonio Mateo Xaramillo was born at Zafra February 23, 1648,
and became a Jesuit novice at the age of seventeen. He was sent to
the Marianas Islands in 1678, and spent sixteen years in missionary
labors. While rector at Manila he was sent to Spain as procurator;
and he died at Ocana, on December 30, 1707. (Sommervogel, Bibliotheque
Comp. Jesus, viii, col. 1321.)

[38] The English pirate here alluded to was probably the ship on which
Dampier voyaged to the Philippines, as that vessel was, at the time
here mentioned, cruising off the coast of Luzon (see his own account of
this, ante, p. 91). The name of Captain Swan's vessel in which Dampier
sailed was the "Cygnet." That ship separated from Captain Davis in the
"Batchelor's Delight" in Realejo Harbor, August 27, 1685. See Lionel
Wafer's Voyage and description of Isthmus of America (London, 1699),
p. 189.

[39] "Soon after the beginning of the spiritual conquest of Tagalos,
the Society undertook the administration of Cainta, a village close
to Mariquina. Because the rectitude of its minister, Father Miguel
Pareja, restrained some Indian chiefs, so that they should not use
for themselves the property of the community, to the injury of the
rest, they, seeing the excellent opportunity afforded to them by
the ecclesiastical tribunal, endeavored to avail themselves of it,
instigated by one who should, on account of his character and his
obligations, have restrained them. They are an insolent people,
and a seditious person (who is never lacking) can easily disturb the
minds of the crowd. They hastened to complain to the
