Father Fray Domingo Vicente, a son of the convent of Preachers in
Zaragoza; aged twenty-six years, eight years in the order; a native

_From the convent of San Pedro Martyr at Calatayud_

Brother Fray Jacinto Francin, deacon, a native of Caspe and a son of
the convent there; aged twenty-three years, five years in the order:

_From the convent of Corpus Christi at Luchente_

Father Fray Dionisio de Rueda, a son of the same convent; aged
thirty-two years, sixteen years in the order; his studies completed. He
is a native of Valencia.

In addition, I expect from the kingdoms of Cataluna and Valencia as
many as twelve other religious who, as I certainly know, are very
suitable persons for this mission, but I do not know their names. I
shall not be able to learn these names until the religious reach here,
which will be very late. I beg your Highness to be pleased to send me
a license, so that I may have authority to take all of them; for, in
the confidence that I should receive that permission, I have searched
them out and disturbed them in their convents. I swear, on the faith
of a religious and a priest, that those whom I have assigned so far
are the aforesaid.

_Fray Diego Aduarte_

With regard to nearly all of those whose names appear in the list I
am certain that they are religious of approved life and holy zeal, and
that they will be able to do good service to our Lord in the conversion
of the kingdoms and countries of the Indians. Many of them I saw on
the road to Sebilla going on foot, to the edification of others, and in
the order of sanctity. In the case of two or three I have found no one
who knew them; but I trust in God and in the excellent zeal and choice
of father Fray Diego Duarte that they will be like the rest. This is
what I know; and in testimony of its truthfulness I have signed it
with my name. In the convent of San Pablo at Valladolid June 4, 1605.

_Fray Garcia Guerra_, Master [9] and Procurator.
