hat I refrain from
fulfilling mine: therefore I order the said reverend father commissary
to observe and obey the act of which he was notified yesterday, the
twenty-eighth, exactly as is therein contained, without exceeding
it in any point, under the penalties and censures therein contained,
to which I regard him as immediately liable in their fullest measure
if he does the contrary. By this act, I decree and order, and affix
my signature. If the said father commissary should not appear so that
this notification may be served by the notary who shall make it, the
latter shall serve it at the doors of the college of Santo Thomas,
where the said father commissary is rector and where he lives; and
the notary shall affix a copy of this act to the doors so that he may
consider it as completely a damage and injury as if the notification
were made and read to him in person. And the notary shall establish
this act by an attestation. Given in Manila, November twenty-nine,
one thousand six hundred and thirty-five. The schoolmaster,

this folio to the reverend father Fray Francisco de Herrera, of the
Order of St. Dominic, and commissary of the tribunal of the holy
Inquisition of these islands, in his own person, exactly according
to its contents. Having heard it, he said that it was impossible to
notify him of the said act on the said day, as it was a holy day;
and that I should accordingly return on the first workday, when he
would answer in due form and at greater length. In accordance with
my orders in the said act, I affixed a copy of it, signed by the
hand of the said judge, and authenticated by me the present notary,
to the gates of the college of Santo Thomas, where the said reverend
father commissary lives, in the presence of fathers Fray Sebastian de
Oquendo and Fray Andres Gomez de Espexo and other persons. Witnesses
present were Juan Ortiz de Sossa, Benito de Caneda, Francisco Correa,
and Juan Garcia de Nava, soldiers of the company of Captain Pedro de
la Mata. I attest it.
