s measure originated
with the Jesuit Bueras.) This contribution was afterward extended to
all the provinces, and was known as "the Zamboanga donation." The fort
at Zamboanga (begun June 23, 1635) was planned by the Jesuit Melchor
de Vera, and built under his direction. See accounts given by Combes
(_Hist. Mindanao_, col. 213-224), Murillo Velarde (_Hist. Philipinas_,
fols. 76b-78a), and Montero y Vidal (_Hist. Filipinas_, pp. 190-192).

[19] "The seed is the blood of Christians."

[20] A corruption of _kasis_ (VOL. XVI, p. 134), or _kazi_, an
appellation of Mahometan preachers.

[21] Part of the thirty-fifth verse. The quotation should end with
_eam_. The English is: "And whosoever shall lose his life for my sake
and the gospel, shall save it."

[22] Translated: "_He that shall lose (his life)_, He says, _for my
sake._ There is the whole cause. _He that shall lose_, not in any way
whatsoever, not for any reason that you like; but: _For my sake_. In
prophecy those other martyrs already said: _For thy sake we are killed
all the day long_ (Ps. xliii, 22). Not therefore is it the punishment,
that makes a martyr, but the cause." This is found in St. Augustine's
sermon _In natali martyrium_ ("On the festival of martyrs"), cap. ii,
sec. 2; it is Sermon 331, ed. Migne, Paris, 1841 and 1845--in older
codices, "Sermon 100 _de Diversis_."--_T. C. Middleton_, O.S.A.

[23] Translated: "If a robber should assault, or a wild beast attack,
or hunger or thirst or cold afflict, one fleeing in the desert and
mountains, or a storm or hurricane drown one making haste through the
seas in precipitate navigation, Christ beholds in him His soldier,
wherever he may be fighting; and He gives the reward to him who
dies persecuted for the name of His honor, which He promised that He
would give at the resurrection. Nor less is the glory of martyrdom,
in having perished not in public, nor in the midst of a multitude,
when the cause for which he dies is to lose his life for the sake
of Christ. For the witnessing of martyrdom, it is enough that He was
witness who approves and crowns the martyrs."

the county of Nice, and entered the Society of Jesus November 21,
1602. He taught grammar and the humanities at Avignon, philosophy for
