the sanctity of the holy martyr Fray Hernando de San José. Later,
when the religious were expelled from Japón, he came to Manila. He
was chief preacher of Sugbú, and later of Manila; and had a mission
among the Tagáls. He died by falling from a window. And since the
Lord took him in such fashion, from his piety one will understand
that that was the most appropriate hour for his salvation, as he had
labored so assiduously.

8. Fray Andrés Jiménez, of Murcia. He came the same year as the
above. He returned to Nueva España, but, not finding any refuge there,
he came back to the shelter of Filipinas--where, partly in the province
of Ilocos, and partly in that of Pampanga, he has done his utmost,
according to the talent that God gave him.

9. Father Fray Juan Boan came four years ago. He has been very
fortunate; for one would believe that they went to meet him with
honorable duties, in which he has ever carried himself to the honor
of the habit and the esteem of the natives, who have always loved
him. He has made material advances for the province, acting with great
mildness, and it is hoped that he will continue to do so more and more.

10. Father Fray Pedro de la Peña, a native of Burgos, and an excellent
religious. He read theology in Manila, with great credit. He held
excellent priorates in Pampanga, and before these held some in Ilocos,
where he was vicar-general. He was elected definitor of Roma and
procurator of the province at the Spanish court. He died at sea
in 1631.

11. Fray Pedro de Zuñiga, one of those whom we can honor most, since
he obtained glorious martyrdom in Japon. I refer to his life.
