Sandin (Respuesta, fol. 3 b) asserts that this relation by Sanchez
was printed at the Jesuit college in Manila, with the date here given;

[90] Bartolome Marron, a native of Asturias, made his profession in
the Dominican convent at Valladolid, July 8, 1667, and came to the
Philippines in 1671, at the age of twenty-five. Having studied two
years at Santo Tomas, he was a lecturer in that college until 1680,
and in 1684 was appointed its rector. In 1686 he became provincial,
and afterward was in charge of a mission in Pangasinan, and of the
church in Binondoc; and was again (1696-1700) rector of Santo Tomas. He
filled many other important offices in his order, at various times;
and finally died in Manila, January 22, 1717. See sketch of his life in
Resena biografica, ii, pp. 145-155--including an account of a notable
lawsuit brought against him, and the regulations made by him for the
inmates of Dominican convents in and near Manila.

[91] Cristobal Pedroche made his profession at Toledo, January

that of provincial. In June, 1684, he was imprisoned at Cavite, and
afterward sent to Mexico; but the viceroy permitted him to return
to the Philippines. He died at Manila on August 20, 1715, at the

pp. 82-100--which includes a letter by him (June 20, 1684) on the
ecclesiastical disturbances of that time.
