n 1605, 1611, 1614, and 1620, and in Bantay in 1608 and 1611. He was definitor in 1617, prior of Manila in 1626, and again missionary of Bantay in 1629, dying in that place in 1636. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 50. [40] For sketches of these Augustinians, see Perez's _Catalogo_. [41] Perez mentions no missionary by this name. [42] Evidently an error for Fray Miguel de Suarez. He was from the branch of the order in India. In the Philippines, he served as a Tagal and Visayan missionary, laboring in Batan in 1605, in Masbate in 1607, in Ibahay in 1611, in Aclan in 1614, in Panay in 1617, in Batangas in 1621 and 1633, in Tanauan in 1623, in Tambobong in 1626, in Taal in 1629, in Bugason in Bisayas in 1630, in Guiguinto in 1632 and 1639, in San Pablo de los Montes in 1636, and in Caruyan in 1641. He was also procurator-general in 1620, and prior of the convent of Cebu in 1638, dying in 1642. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 186.

One was the extreme harshness of the provincial in his government, which must have been very excessive.... The imposition of new commands must have been very heavy for the religious, since even laymen intervened with the provincial, either for him to moderate unnecessary harshness or to renounce the provincialate. The second fact which also enters strongly into this case, is human passion exasperated even to obscuring the intelligence, and personified in Father Juan de Ocadiz, ... a man peevish and melancholy.... Hard beyond measure must he have thought the measures taken against him. He saw in the distance his perpetual dishonor, yet did not have the virtue sufficient to resign himself; and, instigated by the spirit of evil, perpetrated the crime which he expiated with his own life.--_Coco_. [44] Literally, a sack containing one thousand pesos in silver. [45] There were eleven Augustinians martyred, and they received beatification from Pius X in 1867.--_Coco_. [46] Equivalent to the English proverb, "Misfortunes never come singly." [47] Fray Antonio Ocampo was of the province of Castilla, and was a religious of great activity. He was missionary to Bulacan in 1618, to Tondo and Hagonoy in 1626, and definitor in 1620. He was sent to Spain as procurator in 1632, but died at Acapulco on t
