list of the said cathedral, and of all other sermons that they have
or can have throughout his archbishopric, so that they can preach in

retracted it as a mistake, as your Grace will see by the enclosed
document that he drew up.

"In consideration of a council called by Archbishop Don Fray
Hernando Guerrero, on the ninth of this month of October--at which
I was present, together with certain religious of the orders of
St. Dominic, St. Francis, and the caked and discalced religious of
St. Augustine--and of a paper that was drawn up against the Society of
Jesus, in which the archbishop deprived them of the sermons [assigned
