Father Fray Jerónimo de Paredes, a preacher, and a Castilian.
Father Fray Martín Vázquez, a Castilian. Father Fray Tomás de Villanueva, from Mancha. Father Fray Alonso de Carabasal, reader, and who came the following year. He remained behind because of his poor health. Father Fray Antonio de Mójica, a Castilian. Father Fray Cristóbal Enríquez, a preacher, from Estremadura. Father Fray Juan de Espinosa, a Castilian. Father Fray Gaspar de Lorenzana, a Castilian. [40] All those fathers who came here were from the province of Castilla. Their arrival was of great consequence, and with them the death of the father provincial, Fray Jerónimo de Salas, was, in some measure, corrected; for, in return for a person whom the Lord took from the province by that action, He gave it many workers in whom there were very great hopes. Our father rector-provincial, as the matter devolved on him, divided the fathers among the four provinces of Tagalos, Pampanga, Ilocos, and Bisayas. He had ordered that father Fray Alonso Baraona, at that time definitor of the province, should take the religious who fell to its share to the Pintados; and that he should come to the province to govern it, since he was his vicar-provincial and visitor.
