[75] See Concepcion's account of this affair (Hist. de Philipinas,
viii, pp. 45-50), in considerable detail; he states that he presents
it thus in order to vindicate the course of the Audiencia, and that
Pardo in some of his acts exceeded his jurisdiction.

[76] Diaz was a priest, and secretary of the archbishopric.

[77] See accounts of this affair in Diaz's Conquistas, pp. 758, 759;
Murillo Velarde's Hist. de Philipinas, fol. 342 b, 343; Concepcion,
cited supra; Salazar's Hist. Sant. Rosario, pp. 236, 237.

[78] A mestizo, who, to escape the punishment that awaited him,
was denounced (at his own instance) to the archbishop as a bigamist,
so that the latter might claim the case within his own jurisdiction,
and the prisoner thus escape civil penalties.

[79] Diaz says (Conquistas, p. 760): "Where the letter of requisition
says, 'For doing otherwise, you will be excommunicated,' the Audiencia
desired it to say, 'Your Grace will be excommunicated.'" Salazar says
(p. 237) that the castellan felt insulted at this, as only the governor
and the Audiencia had the right to use such terms to him.

[80] Diaz relates this affair in detail (p. 761), and says that the
soldiers broke open the windows and doors of the hospital (where
the archbishop then was) to obtain entrance; also that the decree
of banishment gave the alternative of the Babuyanes Islands, or
Cagayan, or Pangasinan as his place of exile. Diaz cites (p. 762),
this sentence in Sanchez's account, as proof that the latter could
not have written it, since he took part in the arrest of Pardo.

[81] According to Diaz (p. 762), the governor had given money for the
expenses of this voyage, but on reaching Mariveles no provisions of
any sort could be found; and the archbishop would have had no food
if a Dominican friar who happened to be there had not quickly gone
back to Manila to procure supplies for the prelate, and returned at
midnight with them to Mariveles. Diaz says that this friar was not
allowed even then to go aboard the vessel in which Pardo had embarked,
or to exchange any word with him.

[82] Spanish, vsasse de su derecho--literally, "exercise its right,"
i.e., to govern the vacant see.

[83] Diaz calls this (p. 764) "the principal fiesta of the Dominicans"
in Manila. Santa Cruz (Hist. Sant. Rosario, p. 106) says that every
year, when the eight days' fiesta in honor of the Virgin of the
Rosary is celebrated in their convent, the eighth day is devoted
to
