g, as is usual
among barbarians and vulgar people. One of them was a famous witch,
and in anger and passion she threatened the other woman with summary
vengeance through her charms. She went home; and the poor Indian
woman, entering her own house without fear of evil, was seized with
a violent trembling throughout her body. In this paroxysm she arose
from her husband's side while they were eating their food and fought
desperately to throw herself down from the window. The husband ran,
in his consternation, to save her, and called loudly to his neighbors
for help. Three persons ran to her, and were hardly able to hold

the trembling and terror and remained quite calm. This occurrence
soon became public, and another Indian, who had been bewitched by
the same Indian woman, on seeing this marvel was convinced that God
granted health to those who invoked Him; accordingly, he asked for
the same relic, and the result was conformable to his faith. Thus the
people were confirmed in their faith, and grateful for the benefits
received from the bounteous hand of the Lord.

The villages of San Iuan del Monte, Antipolo, and others, were
instructed by Father Francisco Almerique and Father Tomas de Montoya,
with the help of another priest who desired to enter our Society, and
who busied himself in assisting us in this work to the great profit of
the Indians, of whose language he had an excellent knowledge. These
fathers were joined by Father Angelo Armano, who had gone hence two
years before and had been detained in Manila compiling the history of
the saints, whose relics, as we have said, had been deposited in our
Church--a work which this father made very learned and eloquent. Having
completed this task, he went to Antipolo, where he began the study
and practice of the native language, with admi
