without the advice of the counselor
who would be assigned to him."

The archbishop resented greatly the proposition of such points to him,
and preferred to remain in exile, where he had greater quiet than in
Manila; but considering the decision and advice of so erudite persons,
which were sufficient to discharge his conscience, he agreed to all
the points proposed--first having made a protest that he was doing
this to relieve himself from molestation, and to obtain the peace
of his church and repose for the consciences of his sheep, until the
decision of the matter should come from the royal and supreme Council
of the Indias, in whom it inhered.

The governor and Audiencia determined to restore Don Fray Hernando
Guerrero to his church, and on June 6, 1636, they withdrew him from the
island of Mariveles. He entered Manila amid the great rejoicing of all,
who could not look enough at their beloved shepherd; and commenced to
govern his church. But it was not with the peace that he ought to have
had, for new contentions and new causes for anger arose daily with the
governor, who was ever despotic in his actions. [45] The archdean Don
Andres Arias Xiron took possession of his prebend, but God did not
permit that he who had been the origin of so many disasters should
obtain much; for in a short time he sickened with dropsy and other
bad complications, and died in the flower of his age. The greatest
evil was that he died impenitent, refusing to be absolved from
the excommunication and censures by which he was bound, although
the archbishop, as a pious shepherd, sent a priest to his house to
persuade him to be absolved. The soldiers who took the archbishop
into exile all died within two years, by quick and sudden deaths. The
auditor Zapata died suddenly, being found dead in his bed, although
he had retired in perfect health. The governor lost his nephew, Don
Pedro de Corcuera, whom he loved dearly; and another nephew, named
Don Juan de Corcuera, perished while going as commander of the ship
"Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion," which was dashed to pieces in the
islands of the Ladrones (today the Marianas), where many people were
lost, and where the governor lost a great quantity of riches, which
his greed (which was great) had amassed during his term. At this same
time, Don Pedro de Francia, brother-in-law of Don Pedro [de] Corcuera,
died; and so that no branch of that house might be left, God took to
himself Don Pedro de Franci
